Zach put down the phone and was quite speechless. Except when he picked up the first call and was told, "We shouldn't have any communication, that's the lawyer's job." After that, all the calls went directly to messages.
This guy should be made to live with guilt for the rest of his life.
Then what do you think Zach is going to do? Hire a lawyer? No. Even if the defendant is accused, there is still an opportunity for mediation after the preliminary hearing. No, for such a boring little case, there is always an opportunity for mediation as long as there is no judgment. The notification time was in the afternoon, and Zach decided to go and see the situation before talking about it. Until then, Zach wasn't going to do anything.
Meanwhile, Zach prepares to do some work, and Pierce's funeral is a little troublesome.
Speaking of which, Pierce's identity changed too quickly. His family and friends could not accept the original South District Police Chief. Within a few days, he first lost his job, then became a criminal, and finally became a dead person.
Unlike most corpses of criminals, no matter how big or small, Pierce's body was still collected by his family, and even though it was difficult to accept what had happened, the funeral still had to be held. So the question arises, where to place Pierce’s tomb.
Traditionally, sinners are buried in the North Garden. Don't think it's bad. It's just a tradition with the thoughts of the living. It's a good intention to hope that the sins of the deceased will be purified. But human nature is there, so even if Beiyuan is a place with beautiful expectations of the living, the dead will be dead after all. People's hearts are fickle, and those who should be despised and forgotten will still be despised and forgotten in the end. Beiyuan's Desolation is also inevitable.
I think you can guess that it was the family's request that Pierce be buried in the North Park.
With the expectation of cleansing sin, during the initial funeral discussion, there was this sentence, "In a few years, we can move the grave, right, he (Pierce) spent his life protecting others (Pierce's life, a former soldier) , later a police officer) made some mistakes in the end, well, if he redeems himself, he is still a good person, right, well, then, we can move the grave, right?"
Zach wouldn't have any objections. He basically wouldn't give any advice to the relatives of the deceased who were still trying to accept the drastic changes in their lives these days. In the past, there was funding from the city government, but now customers are paying for it themselves. What can you say? Our vampires have very professional ethics in the service industry.
Zach asked realistically, "Where are the tombstones? Most of the tombstones in Beiyuan do not clearly state who is here. Of course, most of them are because no one commemorates the people there. But according to tradition, the tombstones in Beiyuan are... Those who write guilt can make people face their sins and finally be saved. You... "
"Just, just write your name, okay..."
…
And now Grande's little trouble is North Park itself.
Ben had already checked out the cemetery yesterday. Today, just now, when Matthew was sorting it out, he discovered that someone was buried under the cemetery that seemed to be an open space. A very contemporary 'person'.
Matthew was very honest and wanted to inform his family if he wanted to change a place, but he was persuaded by old Hank, "What should I change? There are not many places on this land that are empty! If you change it, there are still some places below." Maybe it’s a human! Unless you dig through it first, confirm it, and then let someone choose!”
Therefore, the only thing that can be done is to ignore it, but the guy who has been buried there for who knows how many years has to be disposed of and continue to dig a hole and bury it? No, it’s still old Hank, “Take it to the mill and burn it!”
Benjamin won't move today, Louise is out in the field, Matthew has to continue repairing the cemetery, Danny has a daily task (to harass Eve Rimmer), Mo, Mo, don't count on her, from now on Since Alice started school, she has completely accepted her identity as Grande's cook. She doesn't want to touch any other jobs.
Then Zach can do it himself.
The things had just been put in the basement, and Zach was going to move them to the car while Matthew, the laborer, was still there, and direct them from the back porch.
The security guard who followed Grande without wanting to, and didn't know why, came closer to Zach, "We saw that you dug out some, um, stuff. Where are you going to send it?"
"Burn the mill." Zach glanced at the security guard, who was half of Grande's employees, "Don't you have any patrol duties?"
"I work the night shift. I'm changing my shift now. I watched your people digging a cemetery in Beiyuan early in the morning. I watched for a while and then followed." After explaining, he continued to ask, "The funeral industry is like this now. What's going on? ? It turns out that the old people in the cemetery have to make room for the new people, or what? Well, although the old people only have a few bones."
Zach didn't hear any malicious intent, maybe this guy was just curious. Occasionally, the cemetery staff, whether they are Grande's own employees or security guards, will come to Grande to say hello, pay homage, etc., but basically they just chat with Old Hank or ask Louis There are very few people who really talk to Zach about work issues.
Zach didn't mind anything, "As you can see, it's North Park. There are no tombstones, so there are many unknown people without even one grave..." Zach curled his lips and changed the quantifier to describe, "It's common. Xiang. It's very troublesome for others to explain, so..." Zach glanced at Old Hank, who had also followed back, and seemed to have thought of something, "It's always better to have less trouble." The discussion with the curious security guard ended.
"Oh." The security guard nodded. After knowing that Zach was going to the mill, he knew that there was nothing to see. It was time to get off work and go away.
Unexpectedly, Zach suddenly asked, "How is your Sadier Security Company lately?"
"Company?" The security guard didn't have any special emotions. "It's just normal." He left.
Matthew loaded up the car, made a report and prepared to leave.
Zach walked towards Old Hank, who seemed to be preparing to go with Matthew and continue to return to the tomb area to kill time. Oh, by the way, because the family has already made plans to move the tomb in the next few years, the coffin is already in stock, and Old Hank does not need to make a new one.
"Hank." Zach stopped him and spoke directly, "I remember reading it before when I was sorting out the information." He mentioned it casually and got burned, "I saw your previous records, I remember them well. If so, you also said that if you deal with someone in business (liquidator), you will at least get a tombstone to record the person’s origin, name, etc. Why doesn’t this person have it?”
Old Hank also answered directly, "Because it's not our business." He didn't even look at Zack to leave.
"I remember that when anonymous people like those from the hospital were brought in, you (Hank and Old Grand) taught you to at least set up a monument to show that there was someone down there." Zach seemed to be really obsessed with this issue, " Looking back now, this kind of thing seems to happen all the time, Benjamin always complained before, digging out someone inside." Now I'm talking about Beiyuan, don't think too much.
Zach waved at Matthew casually, indicating that there was no need to wait for Old Hank, thus ending the possibility of Old Hank escaping.
"Why do you care about all this?!" Old Hank became impatient, "As long as this funeral can be completed!"
Zach didn't care, "I just recently contacted Alan, and he mentioned a bit about Grande's past history. I realized that the current Grande is the place where you two old people plan to retire and rest. The true meaning of Grande The business is in the West District, so what is this place used to do?"
Zach added, "I know Grand Funeral Home, which is almost the same age as Barton. Old Grand always used to show off that Grand was Barton's first funeral home, then Ford, and finally Allen, when he gave me the South District Grand, he asked me to run the city's first funeral industry..." He almost went off topic, "But, I also began to notice some things. In the North Park, even if it's just you There are more recorded graves than the other three cemeteries. What did our Southern District Grande do before?"
"Receiving subsidies from the city government to support the idle people!" The answer was clear enough.
"Oh." Zach raised his eyebrows, "Where are those idlers?" Idlers, such a general term.
Old Hank glared at Zach, "Grand and I are here, so of course we tell them to get lost!"
Zach blinked and pointed to the things already in the trunk, "Is this something left by those idle people?" For example, private work? After all, it doesn't fit into the old Grande's habit of recording, right
He was stared at again and turned around without answering.
Zach curled his lips and took it as his default. Then, let's do some damage control when it seems that he annoyed old Hank. Looking at the back of Old Hank as he left, he said, "Sincerely, it seems that the work they do is not very good. They don't think about the long term at all. They should at least make a mark, right?"
Old Hank seemed not to hear, and walked away with steady steps.
Zach tried his best, waved his hands and got into the car, started it, and his purpose was clear.
But Zach was going to take advantage of the drive to think of words. Do you think Zach just likes to mess with old Hank? No, it's just a precaution so that if Madison asks, he has something to answer.
And Madison will definitely ask!
Madison had already informed here before that the ghoul Harrison had talked to him. Although he tried to remain calm, there was infinite complaint in his words - why would Zach do something like this that would destroy a pure human heart? Go to him!
Basically, burning a newly unearthed skeleton of unknown origin, sent by Zach, also falls into this category.
Zach didn't want to take this responsibility, so he asked old Hank. Look, it really worked. Didn't it mean something
"The people from Grande did it before. What, I don't know what they used to bury those guys. It was fun to bury them. Hey, they didn't leave a mark. It was really troublesome. Madison helped to deal with it. Well, I'm in trouble right now. I was just sued by Allen's funeral, so I really don't have time to bother with Pierce's funeral." Well, let's just say it, exempting myself from responsibility and changing the subject, two-pronged approach.
If he's in a good mood, Zach can chat more and provide Madison with a new "Urban Legend" story inspiration at the mill. Look, everything in this vision is so beautiful.
Oh, reality is better.
As soon as he entered the mill, he greeted Leon and looked at Madison's office. Who did Zach see? When I see the Mirror Man, it’s not Didi, but the Mirror Man, a Mirror Man with a new look who can only live for two more days. Alan's former accountant, name? Who cares about this guy who has to say goodbye to the world in a few days? Just call him Mirror Man.
This means Zach can provide inspiration for the story, and one of the participating characters, Mirror Man, is here. One of the key figures in Zach's change of topic is also here, the current appearance of the Mirror Man.
"What did you do!!"
However, he still had to face Madison's anger first. This guy rushed out of the office, ran out of the mill quickly, and stopped Zach in the front yard, "You told a foreigner my identity!"
Fortunately, no one was around, and the employees were all in the backyard of the mill.
"Ah." Zach remembered something. The Mirror Man said that he had many questions to ask the author. It seemed that it really troubled Madison. "I'm sorry, he was going to disappear when I told her." Zach's nickname is Chaos, which doesn't matter. "If he comes to ask you a question, you don't have to answer it. He will really disappear in two or three days."
After Zach finished speaking, he nodded towards the mirror man who came over, thanking him for his cooperation yesterday.
"He said it was only for two or three days!" It seemed that Madison already knew, but seemed even more angry, "He is going to come here to work! Then why don't I have to do anything for these two days! Just answer questions for him?! Why doesn't he Go directly to your place!!”
Zach raised his eyebrows, yes, why not just ask Zach...
The mirror man who could answer this question stood next to Madison and didn't seem to mind Madison's obvious dislike. "I just happened to run into a vampire yesterday." He answered, "That's what happened to me." He pointed. He said, "I don't think I can get any answers by staying in Grande. I will only discover and get involved in more things that need to be answered, and then." He tilted his head, "I am still unwilling to give up among countless questions. Disappear."
To be honest, there was nothing unwilling in his tone.
Madison took a deep breath, turned down her glasses, and was speechless. So come here to get all the answers you can get, and never touch new problems that arise, so that you can welcome the disappearance of peace? ! In the face of such awareness, who can say anything!
Zach could ask, "Didn't you have anything else to do in the past two days? Your identity..." The accountant was a middle-aged man who once had a stable job, so Zach reasonably speculated that he had a family, "There should be family members." , you picked up someone else’s identity, and you know when this person’s identity will disappear, why don’t you do something humanly right.”
"I'm doing my best." Mirror Man curled his lips, "I explained to my wife yesterday that I didn't have a job, and she kicked me out today, saying that if I don't find a new job, I won't be able to go home." He He glanced at Madison and actually smiled, "So, you'd better give me a job, otherwise I'll stay here at night."
Madison took a deep breath, but it wasn't enough. He took another deep breath and said, "You're hired!" Then he adjusted his mood and turned to Zach, "What are you here for?"
Ugh, bad decision!
In the battle of communication, there is a strict order of moves. You must first attack by surprise, and then defend to meet the opponent's offensive. Now Zach has stood in front of the enemy and used his defense first...
"Oh, before, I mean before, people from Grandery buried things indiscriminately in the North Park, and they were dug up today when they were preparing Pierce's cemetery. Please help me deal with it."
When Madison's wary eyes began to appear, Zach continued, "Hey, there's nothing I can do about it. Hank asked for it and refused to explain. You know Madison, there's nothing I can do about Hank." Patting Madison's arm, he walked to the car, opened it, and pulled out the black plastic bag. This is to speed up the progress, "It should be easy, after all, there is not much left..."
Yes, the only thing you can do at this time is to use others to block the knife. (.)
