Sunday.
Nothing special happened on Saturday, or it could be thought of as giving some things time to simmer. Anyway there is nothing to mention. Today is the day Matthew takes a routine leave to accompany his father in worship.
But by the way, let’s start with our vampire today. Opening the newspaper that Old Hank had thrown away after reading it, Zach saw the headlines. There is a major breakthrough in the assassination case of the new chief of the North District Police Department.
Yes, it's just a breakthrough, not a case solved. It can be clearly seen in the report that the criminal, Irina Mokavi’s sketch is wanted. This means that this person is on the run and has given up his status as a legal citizen. His photo and whereabouts cannot be found in the citizen files, and the Patton Police Department alone cannot catch him.
Only Zach has ever changed other people's minds, there has never been an instance of Zach being forced. Therefore, when James got the answer "no", James was powerless and could only watch Zach talk eloquently in front of Coulson who was seriously investigating the case. Then, one day later, the breakthrough was rewarded.
The report answered many questions that Barton citizens were curious about. For example, why was Director Darcy assassinated—
Mokavi's family was once a heavyweight in the illegal underground art trade, and was attacked by the Darcy family, a former police family in the west. This was revenge.
For example, why was this Irina Mokawi not arrested and brought to justice after she carried out an assassination in the west, and why was she allowed to escape justice
At the time of the first assassination, it was during the war between the Federation and the Northern Countries, and the police force was insufficient. This Irina slipped through the net.
Like, why is this criminal now acting again—
Darcy was parachuted into Barton and was still in the running-in period of adapting to his new identity, which gave criminals an opportunity to take advantage of him.
for example…
In addition to these very reasonable things, there are also some insignificant little tidbits.
According to the reliable informant of the police detective investigating the case, this Irina Mokavy is a lunatic. She once held a wedding with a famous painting on the grounds that people's hearts are unpredictable and they cannot be devoted. It's not a portrait, it's a landscape painting.
This reliable informant was the one who provided the portrait sketch of Irina Mokavy. Of course, in order to protect the safety of this important informant, people who read the newspaper may not know the name. So, guess who it is.
It has to be Zach.
First of all, let's be clear, Zach has no problem with Coulson blaming this non-existent assassination on Mokawe. Anyway, the Secret Alliance is no longer in the federation, so it is a perfect match for a criminal who cannot be successfully wanted and a case that does not exist in the first place. No one has any objections. James, who can't turn a corner, can ignore it.
Then let’s talk about the reason why Zach provided this meaningless information to Coulson.
Just because of Coulson's words, "Mr. Grande... Zach, you have to think carefully and speak carefully! This case is not just as simple as Barton. Don't worry about Lance's carefree look. This is Darcy. Darcy used to Very famous in the West! The entire federation will pay close attention to this case! It will be difficult to deal with the mayor who poached Darcy, and Director Darcy who has just arrived and has not yet established himself! So, Zach, think about it carefully Take a moment, this Mokavi, tell me all the details you can think of about her!"
The point is that the entire federation will be paying close attention.
Well, just talk about some random stuff to convince Coulson that he is on the right path.
For example, Zach did receive goods from Mokavi when he was a traveling trader during the war, some works of art that should have disappeared in history and did not exist. For example, in previous transactions, Mokawi did emphasize cash transactions and kept hiding them. For another example, I have stopped doing business for so many years since I came to Barton, and have lost contact with my former partners. However, I recently received a contact from Mokawi, asking about Barton’s market...
Of course, James was idle because he couldn't stand Zach's nonsense.
Then after talking nonsense like this, Zach told the story about marrying a landscape painting. This is the only true story told by Zach, which happened when Toledo was still in the Secret Alliance. As an inside joke of the secret alliance, all alliance members used it as a reason to complain about Mokawi.
What's the point
The West already knows Tori Dozak is in Barton. It's time for those vampires in the middle who were left behind by the Secret Alliance to know about this.
You can ignore guys like Gangluo and Rimel who are already in Barton. Georgina said one thing, remember, there are still remaining Nophele in the middle.
Zach is alive now because of Novel's help, and now Zach is doing the same thing. Whether it will be effective or not will take time.
Naturally, the sketch of Mokawei is also real. It was Mokawei who was married to the painting. The name is not important. Zach drew it himself. This clear message of 'I'm here' will be sent out with the utmost attention from the Federation, as Coulson said.
Imagine the world outside Barton. I will be confused for a while, haha, Barton to the east is the territory of Alpha, the place that the Sabbat is interested in, the safe haven created by the wizard, the settlement of the fleeing saints, and the city of the fallen angels. Now, hey, the orphans of the Secret Alliance are indeed indispensable. How do these guys divide their forces? Is there one street per person
Let them be confused. What's better, I haven't told them. Barton is still a place that Papa finds fun at midnight, or a magical place where a middle-aged cat-loving lady will get angina as soon as the defense of the Holy Lord's faith is activated.
Let’s not go too far.
After Zach read the entire report, he lost interest in other news and put it aside, waiting for Wes.
Wes notified him yesterday that he was coming today, saying that Nick's case had been completely solved and he had received the final verdict and was sent to prison. He wanted to come over and thank Zach properly. After all, this was his first case after being promoted, and it was all thanks to Zach's miraculous intervention that he was able to solve it so perfectly.
While waiting, Zach didn't even think about how Wes would thank him because he had no clue. James probably didn't want to witness Wes's gratitude to Zach. It was clear that today was a special holiday for major breakthroughs. , but went out early, not knowing why.
The call came. Zach answered, "We can't take in that many sirens here." It was Sibella who said in a direct and impatient tone, "You take them away!"
Zach raised his eyebrows and almost forgot that after the 'enchantment' was lifted, the Kraken could enter the North and South Areas. "Did they go to your side?" This was just out of pure curiosity. The Kraken didn't come to rescue him. Their benefactor at the hands of Boysen.
"We are the ones who promised to help them find a way to reverse this!" Sibella was really irritated, "You just started talking! It's no use to you!"
It sucks, but it's true. Zach curled his lips, "When Yuehua and Baiying left, they said that you asked them to be your experimental animals, but they refused. Those sirens, coming to your place, are not what you want." This was a sarcastic remark.
"You don't need so much!" Siberia said simply, but she could clearly hear Zach's intention of not wanting to take care of it. "Get it to Rimel! Let her contribute!"
"Sorry." Zach began to fiddle with his fingers, embarrassed, "The relationship between Grande and Rimmer has been a bit... um..."
There was silence on the other side of the receiver for a while, "Tsk." He probably understood, "You deserve it!" Yes, who made Zach have fun in the middle? Paper can't cover the fire.
"Let Morman (the mermaid, siren's father) think of a solution." Zach was throwing out suggestions from the standpoint of a person who didn't want to get involved anyway.
"How can he feed a lifeguard!"
"Oh." Zach raised an eyebrow, "You just don't want to raise these guys."
Sibella stopped talking again and took a deep breath, "Zach, I've already given you this call..."
"Okay, okay." Zach quickly interrupted. We all know how bad the last separation between Zach and Sibella was. "Let me think about it, um -" I was thinking, "Well -" I was still thinking. , "Uh..." he thought, "Go find Riley. There are so many people that Mei Yao can afford to support now."
There was silence for a while, "I'm not familiar with your people, you go..."
"Why are you not familiar with me? Corden (Sibella's husband) helped me when you were away from Barton." When Zach took Riley to find the evil spirit, didn't he call Corden for insurance? , "Just ask."
The phone was hung up.
Zach raised his eyebrows at the receiver that had already heard the hang-up tone. He put down the phone and looked at the time. He didn't want to wait anymore and went to help Alice complete the task.
Alice had been busy with this 'task' all day yesterday. Unsurprisingly, there was a slight accident at the high school party at Caesar's house the night before yesterday. An antique vase that was said to be extremely cherished by Caesar's current father broke into a thousand pieces.
No metaphor, a whole thousand yuan.
"A mean girl like you should be broken into a thousand pieces!"
This is what Alice said to the cheerleader girl at the party, as reported by Saint Sissy.
Of course, with the help of 'hard-working' Laura, Caesar, Alice, Chris and Kyle who knew very well that Sissi was not joking, the captain girl was still intact, but the vase was the unlucky one. .
Caesar probably would have to work for the rest of his life without being able to spend time with this vase. So Caesar gave Alice the honorable task of restoring the vase. Yes, that's right, Alice was innocently bullied.
Describe what a vase broken into a thousand pieces looks like. It's a bag of dregs. At least it was in this state when Alice came back the night before yesterday. After a day of repairs, it was now half a vase and half a bag of dregs.
In Grande's entertainment room, Mo is also helping, because the vase is from Mo's hometown, and she plays a guiding role.
Hey, it's just a guide, nothing more. Zac asked her to use her magical creation power to make a new one, but was refused.
"No matter what I make, it's still a fake." Surprisingly, Mo would actually take this kind of thing seriously, "A fake can never replace the real thing. Restore it. This bottle is bigger than me. It's a pity to have it broken like this." …”
Under Alice's attentive gaze, a few spells lifted up a handful of dregs in the bag, and slowly floated to the joint of half the vase. They aggregated into pieces bit by bit, revealing the patterns on the vase and the table. Comparing the lines of the ink painting, after confirming, apply it to the gap, and slowly eliminate the cracks under the gentle caress of the incantation.
Then repeat.
Zach looked worried, "Isn't there a faster way?"
"No more." Alice took the opportunity to rest and breathe and replied helplessly, "I don't know how Sissi did it. She completely destroyed the shape that the vase was given when it was born. The restoration spell is useless. It can only be like this. Fight bit by bit.”
Zach looked at Mo and accused him with his eyes of insisting on principles in an inexplicable place.
Mo ignored it completely.
Zach curled his lips and asked in vain, "How can I help?"
"Well, you can call Caesar and ask Caesar if the replacement puppet I put in his house has been found." Alice is indeed a kind and gentle girl. "He has a lot of silverware in his house. If it is found by his father or Asera found out that it was fake, and there was no point in my recovery here.”
Zach shook his head helplessly and wanted to teach her a few words. Alice was too concerned about this kind of deception and it was wrong. But the phone rang again.
Zach left a parent's expression as if the matter was not over yet, and left for a while, walking towards the office while thinking that it would be best not to be Sibella again.
"Zach, I'm sorry, I can't come today." It was Wes.
"Oh." Zach blinked, and judging by his tone, Wes was not in a good mood.
"I asked Jason to help me deliver the thank-you gift. He can't go there until he gets off work at noon."
Zach raised his eyebrows, as if he knew something about other people's secrets and couldn't reveal it. Wes was defensive, "Thank you? It's really not necessary." In fact, he was very happy, but James didn't have this awareness.
"It's nothing, just a little thing." Wes' tone was a little strange, but it disappeared immediately, "Zach, Nick died in prison."
Then in the background, Louise's voice, "Let me tell you."
Wes said a favor, and there was a sound of handover of the receiver.
This made Zach change his expression and raise his eyebrows, and at the same time he also knew where the call came from.
Today is Sunday. After Louise went to the prison to find Father Constantine last Sunday, they made an appointment to be together from now on. So Louise went too today.
"Zach, Nick is dead." Louise repeated what Wes said.
"Skoll?" This is a very reasonable conjecture. Sissy wants Nick to pay the price. She has been waiting for Nick to enter the prison where the fallen angel - Skoll is, and let professional people let Nick see hell. And judging from the thousand-dollar vase, it is very likely that Sissi gave her such a request.
"No." Louise lowered her voice, "We have talked with Skoal. No, Skoal has been interrogated. Although Sissi's payment has reached the skull, he hasn't had time to take action yet. , Nick is already dead. Zach, the priest has asked Mike to recall the undead, and asked, it was the prison guards who were instructed to do it, but they have arranged to frame the blame on Si, who has been causing trouble in the prison. Gower, the opportunity we had to communicate with Skower was a forced interrogation."
Hearing the first glimpse of a well-planned game, Zach could only frown, "Who."
The prison is already under Asera's control, remember. The answer is already there, but—
"It's not Eisela, it's Pierce. It's revenge for Nick being the first to tell the truth about the protest, which cost him a detective in the agency."
Background sound, Wes's, 'No one thought that the protest was being manipulated. I was the first to interrogate Nick. '
Zach pursed his lips and was silent for a while. The connection is this - Zach got the information at the funeral, told Wes, asked Wes to interrogate Nick, Nick did it, and now he is dead in prison.
"Where are the other people who confessed?" Nick was just the first one, and Zach was asking the rest, such as the one who went to the funeral and gave Zach the information.
"I don't know. Wes has already notified the police station to take a look, but..." Louise hesitated, "What we know was said by the undead. Wes can't explain it clearly to Director Cologne, so it shouldn't be possible." emphasized."
Zach touched his chin, "Is Mike here?"
"exist."
"Mike, does Nick's soul meet Crowley's quality standards?" Zach said something incomprehensible.
"It's okay. If he didn't have faith, the result of the trial of faith should be hell. I looked at his soul and found that most of it was sin."
"Will he be raised to be a demon, or will he become food for demons?"
"Food, good food, has the value of cultivating believers with faith."
Zach nodded on the phone, "I think more valuable food has appeared." Do you know what Zach is saying, "There is no need to raise it. If the boss has a relationship with Papa at midnight, it will definitely not be..." Believers of the Holy Lord’s faith are ready to harvest, what do you think?”
Just to confirm, Mike asked, "Did you say Pierce?"
"Yes, consider this the first sincere cooperation between Grande and you."
"Haha, Crowley will probably say that you are just instructing her to do hard work." To be honest, Mike's position is really confusing sometimes, "but she should be very happy."
"Haha, then Grande should also help and let Louise answer the phone."
"Yes." The receiver was handed over again.
"Zach? Is this okay?" Louise obviously heard it.
"Louise, the use of the Charming Eyes is in your blood. You already know the truth. You know how to make those who were instructed tell the truth and let the sinners be punished." No matter how much justice Zach uses The essence of the rhetoric is to encourage Louise to use the novelty of her vampire ability to dispel Louise's doubts.
The effect is very good, "Yeah." You can hear Louise's hand holding the receiver tightening.
"Call Wes." Zach finally ordered.
"Zach?" Wes couldn't hear what Zach said to Louise.
"Louise is going to ask the guards to tell the truth. You don't have to worry about it. The truth is about to be revealed. What you need is to inform Cologne now and tell the truth about how Nick died. Cologne will know what to do. "
Wes still had some doubts, "Well, Mike, it seems he is going to do something..."
"So you need to be quick. You don't want the devil's actions to look too abrupt from a human perspective. With the police's official actions, the picture will be much better, right?"
"Yeah, I understand."
"Okay, hang up." Zach put down the phone.
Adjust your mood.
Oh, Zach needs to adjust. He has just killed all the possibilities for a person's future, and what he needs to do next is to educate Sister Grande not to be too accustomed to this kind of deception~(. )
