When walking to the Southern District Police Station, as expected, I saw James' car. Then, like an unexpected Easter egg, I saw the former Southern District Police Chief, Mr. Pierce, walking out holding a cardboard box.
Zach didn't see anything related to the police on him, but in the box he was holding, there was a bunch of personal belongings, photos, pens... plus a name tag.
Zach didn't even say anything, "You're happy!!" From a distance, the guy shouted angrily, throwing the cardboard box he was holding into the car, "You're happy!!"
Zach looked around, pointed at himself, and gestured, "Me?"
"That's you! Pretending! Still pretending! Pretending to be ******!!" Pierce banged his car door.
Zach pursed his lips, shook his head with curved lips, and said calmly, "Goodbye, Mr. Pierce." He entered the police station.
Zach came to report the crime. Patton is a model citizen.
"What can I help you with, sir?" The police officer at the reception heard the voice outside the door and looked at Zach suspiciously.
Some people in the Southern District Police Station knew the funeral business owner, and someone reminded the receptionist in a low voice, "He is Mr. Grande."
"Uh, Mr. Grande, do you need any help?"
"I'm reporting the crime." Zach smiled and looked around the inside of the police station, looking for James and Wes of course. "Is Officer Wes here?"
"Uh, he's in the file room." The police officer who had already pulled out a registration form hesitated and did not hand it to Zach. "Do you want to tell Detective Weiss directly, or register it here?"
"Detective? Wes." Zach raised his eyebrows. The previous 'officer' was a civilian's honorific for the police, not a position. We all know that Wes was dismissed by the original director as a rookie, and he was just a junior police officer.
"Well, he was promoted by the new director." The guy who received him tried not to show any emotion. Glancing outside the police station, Pierce was still kicking the car door, "Just now."
"Oh, then I'll tell him directly..." In the deepest part, Zach saw Colon opening the door and pointing two fingers at Zach. One hook.
Zach reminded the receptionist to look over.
"Director!" the receptionist said knowingly, "Mr. Grande, please come over."
Zach nodded and walked to the chief's office under the gaze of the police officers. enjoy? Probably not. Zach feels a little sorry, truly sorry, for Cologne. Why? The chief's office of the Southern District Police Department shares the same floor with all detectives, police officers, clerks, and even odd jobs.
As for this office, Zach closed the door and looked at this small ten-square-meter room that was isolated from the outside by blinds. 'How are you adapting to the new working environment? 'I can't even express myself in such a scene.
"Sit down." Colon cleared the table and said, "I saw Pierce who just left."
Zach nodded and noticed the trash can next to his desk, which contained traces of burnt black oil. If Cologne hadn't opened the outside window, there would still be a smell of anxiety here. "You fired him. Do you have this right?"
"No." Colin replied calmly, "But he has the right to resign."
Zach curled his lips, curious. "He, Esera. Just gave up?"
Colin glanced at Zach and said, "After your employee, Danny, sent the negatives yesterday, I went to develop a copy."
Zach looked at Cologne's expression and raised his eyebrows. It was unexpected. I hope what the director is talking about next is not about laundering a copy and putting it away for collection...
"Just now, I showed each one in front of Pierce..."
Pierce's expression was calm, so he wasn't kidding! He showed the ugliest and worst scenes in his life one by one to the people who took these photos!
"I told him. Remember this feeling. Because of his methods, I had to show the ugliest side of myself to others, the feeling that I have no dignity and no personality." Cologne tilted his head, "Then, I Tell him that every minute of every day that he's here, I'm going to give him back that feeling twice as much. So, he resigned."
Zach looked away. What a surprise. He didn't expect Cologne to do such a thing. "Well done."
"You too." Colon was talking about Zach's commission, and waved his hand, not planning to continue the topic, "I guess you just came to see the results, and just came to make the final payment. Don't worry, after work... No, I’ll ask James to take it back when he goes back.”
Zach was a little embarrassed, and James, dressed in gold, bumped into Cologne on the way to Eve's visit. Apparently Cologne didn't believe that Zach didn't tell James about this commission. It's troublesome to explain, so I won't explain, "I just heard that you promoted Wes."
Colon glanced at Zach and said, "Yes, he and James have the same military background. I just learned that they are also friends." He curled his lips and paused, "If he can also have James in the North District The performance on the case is a waste if it is left there to do odd jobs.”
Zach completely agreed and nodded in agreement. But Colon didn't finish, "So what do you say? In addition to James, how about one more police contact in the South District." This means that Zach, who has been proven to have a strange role in various cases, can be Wei's police contact. Si's informant.
"Contact person?" Zach shook his head hypocritically, "Haha, I'm just an ordinary citizen, just a funeral owner. How can I call a police detective a contact person."
Director Cologne twitched his lips. Zach was still a gray professional, but considering the occasion, he decided not to mention it. What is needed now is to directly give Zach a reason to become an informant in the Southern District Police Department. "I just sent the case of the disappearance of Allen's son to Wes. Uh, James went to help..." Colon curled his lips and hesitated. After a moment, "The assassination of Director Darcy of the North District..."
Zach interrupted, "I don't know why James is so idle, haha."
Cologne clicked his tongue, "He'd better investigate the case seriously. The person who died in the explosion was also my former subordinate!"
"I will remind him." Zach was not prepared to let Cologne continue to focus on this non-existent case, "I almost forgot that I came to report the case and provide key information. What a coincidence, it was Ai The disappearance of Lun’s son.”
Sure enough, Colon's attention shifted and he stared at Zach. The corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously. Did he feel stupid? Did Zach need him to pull strings to become an informant? Need not. Zach's magical self will stick to it. Colon waved his hand and said, "Then go tell the detective in charge! In the archives room, turn left and go upstairs. The first door on the right is the first door. James is there too!" He saw him off impatiently, "No one needs to watch. Let’s hold you!”
"No need." Of course.
When I was going out, someone came to report with a pile of things. "Director, this is what we received today regarding the handling of the protest at Allen Funeral Home..."
"What the hell, it's lost! If anyone goes to make trouble in Allen again, arrest them all!"
After forcing Pierce to resign, promoting Weiss, and abolishing the previous ridiculous investigation, it seemed that Colon had already started working on a new identity. Zach followed the directions with relief and went upstairs to the archives room of the Southern District Police Department.
The feeling of regret returned. There is no one guarding the archives room where all the investigation records of the Southern District are stored. Zach hasn't gone underground yet. It will be even more regretful to see him. Do you remember, the evidence room is next to the prison room where prisoners are detained... Manpower should not be a problem. The problem here is that everything seems to be made do, just like the farmers in the Southern District are also called make-shift. As for the citizens.
Seeing James who was quickly searching for information with Wes, "Hey!" Zach raised his hand to attract the attention of the two men.
James raised his head and his face twisted. Go back down again, gloomy. "Why are you here!"
Zach looked at Wes, who was still wearing an ordinary police uniform, "Chief Cologne asked me to come up to you and tell you about the case of the disappearance of Allen's son. Wes, weren't you promoted?"
Wes wasn't gloomy and was happy to see Zach, but his smile was a little awkward. "I was promoted today and haven't changed yet. Well, if I don't wear this, I'm afraid I won't have anything to wear in casual clothes..."
"I'll lend it to you." James tried his best to prevent his friend from communicating with Zach, it was childish. He closed one file with great movement and said, "Exclude this one." He picked up the next file, unfolded it, and glanced at Zach, "If you have any information, tell me immediately! After you finish speaking, leave as soon as possible, and don't disturb us from handling the case!"
Zach was very unconscious and sat down across from the two of them. He picked up a document and opened it. It seemed to be someone's case file...
"What are you doing!" James snatched the document from Zach's hand, "Who allowed you to read it!" Childish.
Zach is used to it, so he can ignore it and continue to fiddle with the documents, reading each one. Can James protect him? "Are these the suspect's criminal records?"
"Yes." The natural answer was Weiss, "James is helping me check..."
Naturally, he will also be intercepted by James, "You said you have intelligence, tell me! It's best to help us reduce the scope of our investigation!"
"There are more than twenty here." Zach was quite naive, but did not answer James directly. "I see that there is a record of people who were warned for protesting. They are all people who participated in the protest against Allen Funeral Home. ?"
"Well, they are the most suspicious." Wes pushed James, obviously displeased with his friend's attitude, "And we found that in addition to being warned for protesting, these people all have other criminal records. People in the South District don't There are so many restless ones, and this protest seems to have gathered them all." Weiss shook his head, and actually took the initiative to hand over the document he was reading, "For example, this one."
Zach smiled and showed James the document that was put into his hand, and then began, "'Nick, the domestic violence complaint was dismissed because the client, the wife, Dee Dee, gave up her testimony... '"
Zach raised his eyebrows and was about to say something when he saw Wes picking up another file, "That one can be ruled out..."
Zach first pressed Wes's hand, which was about to continue flipping through the files, "Excluded? Why?"
James' paw flew over and slapped away Zach's hand that was on Wes's hand. "It's not a rule out, it's just a preliminary investigation! There were traces of a struggle where Allen's son, Chris, disappeared. We found it. I bought something that was suspected of being the murderer, an earring." Then he stared at the document in Zach's hand, "Did you see on the file in your hand that the man has pierced ears?"
Zach glanced at it and curled his lips, "No."
James was too lazy to care about Zach's expression and continued to show his persistence, "Do you have any information? Tell me if you have it!" James twitched the corners of his mouth and lowered his voice, deliberately to confirm that the other party was listening. The one who arrived said to himself, "I think he is just too busy to panic, so he came here to make his presence felt!"
Zach was unhappy with this and turned over the document in his hand, showing Nick's photo, "He was the one who kidnapped Alan's son, Chris."
The two police detectives glanced at Zach, and even Wes pursed his lips, "Uh, how do you know..."
"It's locked under the basement of Nick's house." Zach ignored James's disdainful gaze, "I didn't see it, but I can hear and feel it." Zach pointed at himself, the vampire.
Wes opened his mouth, hesitating whether to ask, but James simply ignored it and continued to flip through the documents.
"This Nick's wife is called Didi. She is a mirror person and a foreigner. Today I..." Very good, James looked over with a gloomy face, "Help a friend (Steve, Wes doesn't know him, so there is no need) Mention the name), go to Didi to ask something, and found out." He looked at James and gave an expression that said you have to believe it even if you don't believe it, "But the point is not about the Mirror Man, you can trust me on this. I When I went there, Nick was not around, and Dee Dee, fully playing the role of a domestically abused wife, refused to let me enter the basement to confirm the identity of the frail teenager and, of course, to protect her husband."
Facing two pairs of eyes seeking knowledge with their own emotions, Zach was very satisfied, "But I have already asked what you should know." He was proud of his own tongue that was favored by the universe, "Nick, for money, a A few weeks ago, they suddenly started violent protests against Allen House, and then they became greedy and unwilling to meet the compensation that the police would probably fight for. So, early yesterday morning, they kidnapped Chris while he was at school... "
Wes interrupted Zach, "Chris disappeared the night before."
Zach was silent. After a long while, "No, it was yesterday morning when Chris was at school..."
"Tsk, it was the night before yesterday." James tugged at the corners of his lips and threw a document to Zach, "Report the crime, take a look at it yourself."
Zach didn't want to accept the document that James took the initiative to give. Why…
"Okay." Zach pursed his lips and did not read the documents James gave him. He stubbornly refused to accept that he was wrong. "Then I am not here to provide information, but to report the crime. I, a kind-hearted citizen, discovered this There is a man locked up in the basement of Nick's house." This is a tongue blessed by the universe. "Didi also told me that Nick is very experienced, so he will not beat the poor man to death, but I can't leave it alone, so Came to report the crime.”
James and Wes looked at each other.
Zach encouraged, "What now, detectives, are you going to ignore it?"
"Search warrant?" Wes asked, after a moment of silence, to James.
James glared at Zach, "No, didn't you listen to what he said? There is an alien race. Who knows what the Mirror Man is! Let's go and take a look first!"
Right decision. Zach was satisfied. (.)
