Grande has just finished saying goodbye to Yuehua and Baiying. The saying goes like this. They have been in Barton for a month, and they have almost everything they should see and understand. As the advance team of Salem’s black witches, it’s time for them to go back and report their summary—
"Now Sibera's barrier, uh, or who knows what it should be called... is gone anyway, and the original reason why she invited us here no longer exists. But, we saw many, strange,... Well, interesting things, Grande, Wizard, Rimel, Sabbat... I think when we go back this time, it should trigger some interesting discussions. Well, maybe we will meet again."
Do you think this is all part of farewell? of course not.
Yuehua and Baiying made one last effort, "Zach, you haven't answered our original question yet."
Remember, the deaths caused by 'Colt' were invisible to the Black Witches. It's like a person who loves meat but doesn't like meat is surprised to find that since then, the meat in front of him is missing one type of meat, chicken, sheep, fish and pig, that is, there is no cow. Why? What does this mean? Is it some strange sign
Zach thought for a long time and said, "Come." He led the two guests who had occupied Grande's only guest room for a month to the basement.
Take a 'Colt' out of some obscure box.
"Don't ask." Zach handed over the magical gun and let the two black witches fiddle with it stiffly. "I don't know what's going on. Oh, it's real. Well, its effect is real. , I have tried it twice, it kills instantly." Please don't expose Zach's poor shooting skills, when he said seconds, it meant seconds.
Yuehua gave this answer, "Okay. I think after returning this time, besides Patton, we have new things to discuss. Then this 'Colt'..."
"My only suggestion..." Zach took back the 'Colt' and threw it back into the inconspicuous box, "Don't get caught in its muzzle."
That's all.
after. As the owner of Grande, everyone thought that Zach would at least do what a landlord should do and send the two of them to the station. No.
After Yuehua Baiying left Grande, there were other places to go, and it was not suitable for Zach to follow him. Sibella, of course, there is a lot to clarify. Gone? besides. Rimmer, Eve, of the West End. The shattered doll in the corner of Grande's back porch made the two black witches have to make this trip. I understand. This is really gone.
After watching the two people leave Grande, Zach returned to the office. On the table are things that were stuffed into Grande's mailbox today, including bills, advertising flyers, poll letters, "Urban Legends", the Patton Daily News, and police station questionnaires...
Things he didn't care about were naturally thrown aside. Zach left the magazine and poll letter in front of him, curled his lips, and took back the police station's questionnaire. How could you not care? As Susan said, Pierce has a way to make the South District support Aisela.
In light of the recent intensification of protests against Allen Funeral Home. Those who participated in the protest were all people from the South District, and were our friends, relatives, and acquaintances. In order not to further intensify the conflict, the Southern District Police Department issued a solicitation for opinions on how to handle the protesters...
Zach frowned. Is this a joke? A law enforcer who maintains law and order is asking civilians for their opinions on law enforcement
Zach shook his head and threw the ridiculous thing aside.
Opened the poll letter. Without even looking at it, he checked all the boxes in support of Anthony. Inevitably, I saw some of Aesela's remarks to get votes - this is a male-dominated world, women, let those people see our strength. support me.
Zach twitched his lips, made a big cross over this sentence, and wrote the following sentence, 'This is not a world of anything. When we elect a mayor, we elect someone who can represent the entire city. People in the city should lead us, not by choosing a poster, or by choosing someone who can only display one-half of the population to promote their own power! If you are using men and women to call for equality and make such remarks, you are the most unequal! '
Zach shook his pen, feeling that it was not enough, and added, 'If Ms. Ethela is only willing to represent her own gender and abandon the other half of the population of Barton City, I would like to express it with my humble voice as a commoner, she is only worthy of As a voter, her rights should be limited to expressing her own opinions and representing a group of people she thinks she can represent, and is not worthy of leading them all. '
Satisfied, Zach folded up the poll, stuffed it back into the envelope, and asked Matthew to mail it later.
Then, I picked up "Urban Legend" and saw the title on the cover, which I didn't understand - "Woman's Monster Love Story". Zach opened it and only read the first sentence, "It's just the early spring of the new year, and Louise has already started shaking her money tree on the street at night..." Zach curled his lips, he already knew what it said. Well, don't let Louise see it.
By the way, speaking of Louise, Louise went out early to see Susan in the nursing home.
Because yesterday's trip was interrupted, Zach's attempt to redeem himself from Susan was completely delayed, and Louise knew it.
Surprisingly, Louise is the one who stops Zach from reversing Susan's insanity.
Louise said:
"That's it. In the eyes of Ethela, Susan is no longer useful. If she returns to normal, she won't be able to go back to the 'proud' life she thought she had. She will have nothing and still have Ethera in her sobriety. Sera has countless secrets that cannot be disclosed. Even if Sera generously no longer cares about Susan as a future problem, there is no guarantee that we, Anthony, will not use Susan in turn. Her life will be painful. It is better to be like this. I believe that living abnormally in your own world is good for everyone."
Zach nodded, but still explained something, using vampire method, blood exchange, "a way to make her life more comfortable."
Louise accepted and practiced it again with red eyes before leaving.
Benjamin appeared in the office. Seeing Zach in a daze, he grabbed the magazine in front of Zach and read, "Is this about you and Louise?"
Zach was speechless, "I haven't finished reading it yet." He meant to come back.
Benjamin glanced at the newspaper, "Newspaper." and left.
Zach had no choice but to get the newspaper. The photo of Director Darcy surrounded by microphones made Zach curl his lips again, forget it. Just take a look. Opened the headlines.
The new police chief who had only been here for a week was assassinated. This report easily occupied two pages. Now I am afraid that no one in Barton does not know that their police chief has been replaced.
Zach was really not curious about how Darcy made up this lie, because the previous news had already dropped this, no. The police chief who was 'poached' by Mayor Anthony got to the bottom of it. Darcy is a very famous figure in the West. He comes from a family of police officers and has served in the military. He has received numerous honors and commendations. The criminals he has fought can build a city...
I'm not exaggerating for you. Darcy's father died fighting criminals when he was born. Darcy's grandfather died fighting criminals when his father was born. Darcy's great-grandfather died when his grandfather was born. Fighting with criminals…
Can you accept it, the alien aspect
The captive inheritor.
Ah. This family that has been passed down for several generations has accumulated its own honors and achievements. In addition to the people who were recruited by our Mayor of Barton as a measure to improve the frequent violent incidents in Barton City this year, there are also stacks of people in this accumulation of inheritance. own enemy.
So, in this generation of Darcy, he said, someone assassinated me. The Patton Daily News listed the extremely vicious suspects in two pages, while also recounting the glorious deeds of the new police chief.
Zack watched it. Really, really bored.
Wow! Closed the newspaper. He was making circles on his desk listlessly.
Well, Zach must have been too bored. He clicked his tongue and took the police questionnaire that had been thrown away before.
Zach still maintained his attitude, it was funny that the law enforcers asked civilians for their opinions on law enforcement. For example, you were robbed. The police don't chase you, but instead ask you, "You were robbed, what can I do for you?" "**! Go chase him!"
Well, at least the Southern District Police Department wasn't stupid enough to ask for such an opinion.
Zach couldn't put aside his prejudices and started this investigation.
The reason was that Zach was a little impressed. I saw something stupid in the corner of the newspaper once -
Do you remember the wave of grave-moving in Grande? Do you remember that Grande's mills were squeezed out by their peers and were unprofitable? Remember the Allen Funeral Home (Barton has three funeral homes, Ford on the North Side, Grande on the West Side, and Grande on the South Side Allen. The Grande Funeral Home that we are familiar with now is the place where old Grande and Hank lived in seclusion after they left the West End. There was no business at all, and even less after Zach took over. It relied on government subsidies and the West End Grande life)
Basically, someone is unhappy with Grande's tomb removal trend. Because the cemetery for people in the West District was moved from the West District Cemetery to the South District with compensation from the government. The important thing is that there is still a cemetery.
This is the treatment given to other funeral homes. Remember what happened with Ford? Wales also complained that when dealing with Ford Cemetery in the North District, he was beaten by people who were angry that his relatives were dug out of the cemetery.
Allen never mentioned it, but he was not as lucky as Grande. After Ford gained experience after taking the first step, the compensation handling after the cemetery was rezoned was still dissatisfied.
Of course, there are also some influences of time and geography. Ford in the North District was the place where the contradiction was discovered. After the city government's compensation plan came out, it became normal after it was appeased, because it was the compensation obtained by the citizens through resistance.
Due to the class characteristics of the people in the West District, the cemetery in Grande in the West District was naturally given preferential treatment by the city government, which had some experience in handling it. In addition, Grande happened to retain the only cemetery in Barton in the South District, so the wave of compensation for moving graves was natural. 's happened.
At the last Allen Funeral Home, we saw Ford's contradiction, and saw that Grande was given preferential treatment, but what he received was average - Allen did not have a cemetery, and the city's compensation plan was only a pension plus re-cremation, which seemed fair. Right, after all, Ford's final solution was the same.
But some people are dissatisfied - from the perspective of "We clearly have a cemetery in the South District, over there in the Grande, people in the West District can move their graves, why can't our relatives move their graves?" 'To' the North District, they fought for compensation, we should also fight for something for ourselves, right? '
But the protest was small, I mean, really small. Most people in the Southern District are still simple farmers who are not good at or want to do this kind of thing. At least in Zach's vague impression, it seemed that there were just a few people holding signs at Allen's side for a few days.
To be honest, the method is wrong, so don’t bother with this kind of thing at all. Remember, the people protesting against the city government in Ford, North Ward, were beating up civil servants, not the innocent Ford Funeral Home.
However, the simplicity of the people in the South District is also reflected here. Remember the last time Siris and Briar led people to block the mill? They also blocked the wrong person. They should have blocked the prison where the incident actually took place...
But the investigation that Zach is seeing now seems to have escalated the farce-like protest, which has caused trouble for the operation of Allen Funeral Home.
Zach didn’t understand that it had been so long. It had been less than half a year since the compensation started. Ford’s original cemetery and Quest’s new supermarket had been completed. The original Grand’s cemetery in the South District, Lis Te's new industry has started construction. As for Allen, if the cremated ashes can still deteriorate, I'm afraid they should be turned into air. There is nothing to protest.
Since attempts at persuasion and mediation were still unsuccessful, the police had to arrest some of the protesters, explain the city government's compensation for cemetery recycling, and then release them, but with little effect. We repeatedly find that these released individuals continue to participate in protests, intensifying conflicts...
Zach frowned and said it was an investigation. This was basically a public announcement and an admission of his incompetence. What was the point? If the criminal continues to commit crimes, then you continue to arrest him and explain that the education is not enough, then increase the punishment! Zach was really not interested and looked towards the end, the only place with options.
Then Zach's eyes widened, what the hell!
1. Severely punish those who protest and cause trouble. (Choose this carefully, our police have always tried to maintain the peace of everyone’s lives and do not want to intensify conflicts)
2. The police will represent the protestors and submit a petition to the city government for additional compensation. (most feasible way)
3. The police will act as an intermediary between Allen Funeral Home and the protesters to provide additional compensation. (Citizens, please don’t choose this. It’s useless. We have already negotiated with Allen. The compensation funds allocated by the city government have already been paid out, and Allen Funeral Home itself is unable to pay any additional compensation.)
You read that right, these brackets are right after the options.
Zach no longer wanted to read 4 and threw away the questionnaire. Who on earth was so ridiculous that he came up with something that would disgrace all law enforcement agencies and even the government.
Then Zach frowned. Zach felt responsible, yes, responsible. This is an incendiary investigation that has become so obvious that people are speechless, and Zach is responsible.
Zach hasn't returned the negatives to Cologne yet, right? All Cologne has received for the time being is Danny's words, "Zach has taken care of it."
Cologne, seeing such ridiculous things coming out of his own game, could only hold back.
Zach felt that something should be done, at least not to let Cologne really become a figurehead... (.)
