On Friday morning, Mr. Green came, apparently looking for Benjamin (to pick up his entrusted 'Benjamin'), but Benjamin avoided seeing him. Louise kindly reminded him that Zach had gone to the tomb area, and the guy hurried over without saying a word.
Zach was in the North Cemetery for some reason. Apparently, the security guard who was curious about something buried in the North Cemetery reported the matter to the company yesterday. Then just after he came back yesterday afternoon, Zach received a phone call. He started to accuse why the place they protected, that is, the cemetery, and the things buried there, the key to which was the North Park, were not taken over by Grant before the two parties reached a business partnership. De count and report!
This is a very strange accusation. The contradiction existed when the two parties first decided to cooperate. Yes, it was a contradiction. Remember the metaphor. The bank's security guards protect the bank itself, not the money in the bank. Zach would have taken it for granted that the security company didn't need to know what was under the cemetery, and the security company now seemed to think they did.
Outside of the North Park, such a situation would not exist. Without Grande providing any information, people from the security company could see the occupied tombs and the unoccupied tombs with their naked eyes, but the North Park was different. Yesterday's facts have proven that in North Park, even if there are no tombstones, there are still things buried in the open space.
And there is no solution to this contradiction. It is impossible for Zach to provide cemetery usage information to a security company. The funeral industry has been privatized, and these things are not public resources. This has happened before. If you want to see it, please get a search warrant. Not to mention that in a place like North Park, Zach couldn't get any information about the people buried here.
What makes this matter even more painful is that the security company is justified in making such accusations at this time, because Pierce's tomb will be in the North Park, which means that neither Grande nor the security company originally took it seriously. People who work in Beiyuan now have to face the reality that Beiyuan also needs maintenance and protection.
There is a compromise, which is that both Grande and the security company must allocate manpower to treat Beiyuan seriously. But since Grande couldn’t provide information on the use of the North Garden—the people whose tombs here belong to whom—who is buried underneath. All that can be done is to keep evidence. Every time the status of Beiyuan changes, the security company will record it.
Grande and the security company had no choice but to let go of what was buried in Beiyuan. From the day the certificate was deposited, all changes in Beiyuan, if not done by Grande, are what their security company needs to be responsible for. .
When Mr. Green arrived, he saw Zach standing by the cemetery, watching indifferently as several security guards took cameras and took pictures around the North Park.
As Mr. Green approached Zach, his heart skipped a beat, because just in time, someone took a photo on his son's (Lipp) grave. It's rare that he still remembers this tomb, after all, there is nothing on the tombstone.
"He, they are..."
"Green?" Zach was quite curious that he would come, and put aside his indifference to this troublesome matter, "Why are you here?"
"I, I..." He took a deep breath and looked away from the cemetery. "I have received the client's information." He held a brown paper bag but did not hand it out. "The transfer procedure will be carried out today, but the person is still there. It will take a few days to arrive.”
Zach glanced at the paper bag. There was a signature message on it. It was just delivered today, but it had already been opened. Apparently the other party had already seen it.
"I don't need to know who it is." Zach smiled, "Now, you'd better tell me the transfer procedure. I don't know how you think this kind of thing can be entrusted to Grande. Haha, Grande is not powerful enough to make the fact of existence disappear. If the Barton family wants to know that you have taken in someone, he will still know."
"I know." Green pursed his lips, "All I need is to hide it for a while. When the people arrive and the payment arrives, that's it. I just..." He pursed his lips, "This is my 'business'. Do you understand what I mean? It’s not a job I do for others, it’s not an order from above, it’s my own business, and I need to do this for myself.”
Zach raised his eyebrows out of curiosity, "What? Is this kind of business very remunerative?" Is it worth Green's risk
"It's very big." Green nodded, as if he didn't want to say it, but looking at Zach's smiling and sincerely curious face, he lowered his voice, "In this kind of business, all processes are legal before the law, no There are no risks. 'Black' people come in, and 'white' people come out. In terms of psychiatric treatment, it is a black box. No one can know what is going on inside. The people who come in can be all kinds of bad guys, and come out. They are all brand new people.”
Before Zach raised his eyebrows higher and higher, Mr. Green said a little more, "In the early days of Barton's construction, the Barton family used this method to gather a large number of financial connections from all over the federation."
"Be more specific," Zach demanded.
Green frowned, with a strange look on his face, as if he didn't know what to say, and thought for a while, "When the city of Barton was first established, the whole of Barton was lacking everything, and the few founding families couldn't do much. Although they had money and some power, , but that was just the personal strength accumulated by their family in Newton. It was impossible to build a city."
Zach can understand the magic because he experienced the establishment of the Federation. When the Federation once established itself as a country, it was not easy. And cities should be more difficult than urban countries... Look at it this way - the country has no need to look at it. It has to exist independently. All other social structures in the world exist as equals or under equality. When a city is to be built, its status is only slightly higher than the family, the basic component of society.
"Barton needs help from the outside world, and this help can't come too superficially. No, it can't come through conventional methods, because Newton is right next to us to intercept all forces that may enter Barton." Green pursed his lips, "Then Barton The family used this method, which is impeccable in terms of process and cannot be intercepted by Newton. In any powerful organization or family, there will be one or two people who have made mistakes. Barton takes them in and helps them wash away the scandals. Sin, whatever, as a way to build a strong relationship with the outside world.”
Now Zach was a little curious about what was in the brown paper bag, "Who is it this time?"
Green hesitated for a moment, then handed over the paper bag, "The capital of Iowa, a descendant of a famous casino family..."
Zach had a very bad feeling for no reason.
"I checked the news over there and it said that they tortured and killed twelve people in a row..."
Zach's hunch was confirmed. On the document he took out, there was a smiling Indian.
"There are witnesses, and he himself does not deny it at all. The conviction is ironclad. If there is a death penalty in Iowa, he will not be able to escape. But..." Green's mood is a bit complicated now. The reason is that he is describing what he will accept and receive. A clean slate." His lawyer insisted on using bipolar disorder as a defense. He never spent a day in jail and was sent directly to a local mental treatment facility. He was treated for a period of time without any effect..." It was a bit ironic, "according to The official statement is that he will be transferred to a hospital for further treatment, but of course, the transfer information has not been made public for the purpose of protecting human rights." Green grabbed his front and said, "I'm here."
Zach looked at the less detailed information. It was obviously not a formal identity document, but just an explanatory document sent by Green's client. Zach looked at the other person's name. The first name was not important, the important thing was the last name - Nu Tao.
"Although our nursing home is independent, its administration is affiliated with the hospital in the South District. This was a way for the Barton family to manage it conveniently while maintaining distance when they opened this nursing home. My father, the Green family, used to be the relationship between the Barton family and outside forces. Contact the middleman. Where will these processes go? The transfer information will arrive at the hospital in the afternoon. It will first enter the administrative department. The person there will confirm the transfer party, then sign it and send it to me for final confirmation. After that, the document will be Keep it with me."
Green informed Zach about the process, "These are normal processes, nothing can be changed. Because there are no people in the West Side who are really in the medical system now, so the news, if I don't notify the people in the West Side, they won't know it right away, "
Zach glanced at Green, who frowned, "And this time, I'm not going to notify the West End people. The key is that the hospital's backup files, this administrative process will leave records in the hospital, and will eventually be used by the West End people, The Pattons know."
Zach nodded, "And my mission is to make the records of this process disappear." He put the information in the brown paper bag and put it behind his back, as if he was not ready to return it.
"Well, I don't know who will make this record in the hospital, and I don't know how these backups will reach the West End. You should understand that when the Patton family first came up with such a system to communicate with outside forces, they did not want to When revealing my relationship with the nursing home, especially Newton who deliberately obstructed me at the time. It would be bad if someone targeted me and cut off this channel. So, there are some things that I don’t know.”
"So it's a time-consuming task." Zach's expression was very calm, as if he responded casually, "I need to go to the hospital to stay."
"Uh... yes." Green nodded and blinked abnormally, because his hand that was about to reach back to take back his paper bag was pushed away by Zach, "Uh, my information, you..."
"You didn't pay the deposit." Zach looked at Green with a smile, "I don't think you brought enough cash here today."
"Uh..." Green looked at Zach, a little at a loss.
"So, I have to leave something for Grande to ensure that the trust between us is based on equal cooperation, right?" This means that Grande has not received anything yet, and he has to do things for you. Yes, you have to leave something to let Grande know you will pay later.
What's better than money is evidence that it can threaten Green's 'business'.
"Well, Benjamin said on the phone before that he didn't need to pay a deposit..."
"He made a mistake. He does not accept checks for deposits." Zach's words stopped Mr. Green from taking out his checkbook. "Grand only accepts cash for the time being. You must have misunderstood."
Green blinked in confusion. He only took about two seconds to respond to the phone conversation with Benjamin two days ago, and then gave up. Whether he had misunderstood it or not, it didn't matter at all, "These information... uh, I can still use it."
"What's the use?" Zach was purely curious. Our vampire deliberately left this information to be useful. What is Green doing with this thing? Are you waiting to be caught
"Uh..." Green was a little helpless, "I also need something to ensure that the other party pays. All processes are in compliance with the legal rules. This information is the only proof of our transaction and the only way I can get paid. ensure… "
Don’t forget that this is Beiyuan Cemetery. Although they stood relatively far away, several security guards in uniforms who were taking pictures everywhere still put a little pressure on Mr. Green who was talking about these things. Automatically mute the sound and look around alertly.
"That's it." Zach smiled, "Then what do you have to worry about? The trust between us can be completed, and the business between you and them can also be completed. There is no problem with putting this information here now. You can give it to Gran Once De's commission is completed, I will return it to you. Then you use him as your own guarantee, do whatever you want, and it has nothing to do with Grande. Is that the truth?"
Green looked at Zach, thought about it seriously, pursed his lips and nodded, "As long as you keep this thing safe and don't leak it."
"Of course." Zach turned his head and looked at the security guards who were taking pictures. He still said it to Green, "I advise you not to make any plans." Because Green also shifted his gaze and looked at someone who was not there with a complicated expression. The marked tomb was the tomb of his son Lip. Naturally, it was not just for this commission that he gave up Benjamin in such a hurry and came to find Zach.
Zach's rational persuasion continued, "I just made a statement to these security guards. I don't know and have no right to reveal who is buried underneath. If you go to observe a moment of silence now, we will all face a very embarrassing situation."
Green pursed his lips, took one last look, shook his head and took a deep breath, ready to leave.
He turned his head temporarily and said, "Well, when I entered the tomb area just now, I said I was looking for you, but I was still asked to register."
Zach frowned and glanced at Green, "Then you'd better come up with something other than a reason why you need to come to me in person for the commission and this tomb. These security guards are not Grand employees, and I can't control them." He made a demonstration gesture in front of the security guards who were taking photos and kept their evidence, expressing his views completely.
Green's expression turned bad, "I... I..."
"You don't have to figure it out now." Zach waved his hand helplessly, "When you think someone starts to question your whereabouts, just have something to answer. But remember to let me know first, and I will cooperate. You're welcome."
Just like that, Greene left with a frown on his face. Just after he disappeared into the tomb area, Zach also took action. (.)
