Ford and Zach finished discussing their work and were leaving when two completely unrelated things happened.
The first thing was the arrival of the Holy Light with every omen, and a strange, thin man lying on the ground in Grande's backyard. He quickly retracted the wings behind his back and climbed up, "I'm fine! I'm fine! I'm fine!"
Zach couldn't care less because the second thing seemed to require higher priority. Madison is here, along with Wes who is already today.
Madison didn't say anything about the strange man in the backyard because Detective Weiss couldn't seem to see it. So I sat directly in front of the back porch, and Maya and I looked at each other in a daze.
Zach also roughly guessed the reason why Wes came, made a gesture of invitation, and went to the office with Wes.
Weiss was very direct, "On x day, witnesses at Allen Funeral Home saw you entering Allen's house, and not long after, you smashed Allen's restaurant, and then left angrily, and xx (Ai Allen's accountant). Did you witness the dispute between the two and say something to the accountant? The fact is that the accountant was fired by Allen that day, and the next day, the accountant went to work at Grand's Mill Then two days later, he disappeared."
Well, this is the disappearance case of Allen's accountant that the South District police are investigating, just because the investigation and the subjects being investigated at this time are Wes and our Zachary Grande. So, after looking at Zach, he took out the recording notebook and put it on the desk, then raised his hand, as if he would never record it, "You can tell me if you know anything about this accountant's disappearance. Pursing his lips, looking at Zach, he emphasized, "Anything." This meant that Wes was ready to hear anything.
"Did Madison tell you something?" I think Wes said it when he first appeared. Zach appreciated Wes' directness, so he smiled now.
"When I was taking notes at the police station, he couldn't tell me clearly, he just gave me some hints. I don't know if I received the right hints." Detective Weiss curled his lips, "The accountant is dead. Huh." Without looking at Zach, he wanted to express that he wanted to know the whole truth, not just this result, "So I came directly."
"Okay." Zach nodded, "You remember Didi."
"Of course." Wes nodded, "It's only been a while since Nick's case." He frowned, "In fact, afterward, I went to see Didi to see how she was doing. Well, After all, I always felt that when she was cooperating with us to testify against Nick, she always had a feeling of, uh, 'having no life left to love'. I didn't understand what the Mirror Man was about, but I thought I should go take a look. But she always Not at home. I mean, all the time." He glanced at Zach. I guess I'm already a little mentally prepared.
Zach raised his eyebrows, "If Didi knew that someone still cared about her, she would be very happy. I think you can visit her when you have time." Zach deliberately paused for a while, "She is in Sissy Yesil (St. (Apprentice) home, but of course, she is no longer Didi, but the angel Crowley."
Wes opened his mouth several times and closed it several times. Finally, he shook his head, "So the Mirror Man, from Didi to Angel Crowley, is related to Allen's accountant?" This means that there is an alien factor in this case, and he received Zach's plan to prevent it.
Zach nodded first, "I have to confirm again, you must know the whole truth. I should remind you that for you and the police detective investigating this case, this truth will not make you feel easy."
The truth won't make it easy for the detective. Well, Zach’s summary skills are pretty good.
Wes frowned, still thinking about Zach's words. Zach added, "To be fair, James' complicated attitude towards me is excusable, and I often put him in such bad situations."
"Then I think I have to know the truth." Wes decided, "I used to be just a rookie policeman and didn't need to know too much. Now, I'm also a police detective. I don't know whether it's lucky or unfortunate. A director (Colon) who is inexplicably confident in my personal abilities, it’s time for me to feel what James feels like.”
Zach smiled and nodded, "Okay. Let's start with the worst truth. The police are on the right track. Allen is the murderer. He killed his accountant."
Wes, who probably didn't realize it yet, followed up with, "I need a time, a place, a pass, if you can provide it." He ignored Zach saying, 'This is the worst truth.'
"You just said all this." Zach raised his eyebrows, "It was the day I went to Allen Funeral Home and smashed up his restaurant."
Wes frowned, tightened, and stared at Zach, "I don't understand."
"Mirror Man." Zach prompted. It is easier for the other party to accept it if he is involved in piecing together the truth bit by bit rather than being told all at once.
After a moment of silence, it could be seen that Weiss was thinking hard, "Mirror Man, Mirror Man lived as an accountant for two days." With that, "When the accountant went to work in the mill, he was actually Mirror Man, and the real accountant had already He was killed by Allen, so Madison gave me a hint." Then he went further, and his tone became weird, "So it was originally a murder case, but under the influence of the alien race, it turned into a disappearance case."
This kind of willingness to summarize is really rare.
Zach nodded, "Of course, you can think so, now, more truth. About why I went to Allen that day."
Wes raised his hand to stop Zach, "I can probably guess that Allen asked Grande to go because of your gray professional status. You were entrusted to deal with the aftermath, and Mirror Man is your solution. "Wes is really smart. He's almost right, but his tone also began to become extremely helpless. "We have been investigating and interrogating Allen for a few days. I guess he doesn't even know that he killed the accountant now. I don't know. Is it over?"
"Yes." Zach admired the other party's way of thinking, "But it's not entirely correct. Mirror and I went together, just by chance. This commission is not what I want to take." Zach waved his hand, but still didn't Benjamin dragged him into the water, "Allen acted in legitimate defense and was the first to attack the accountant who had tampered with the accounts. Allen defended, but the defense was excessive and it was still illegal. The whole thing was a regrettable tragedy. And then because of I met the Mirror Man by chance, and it insisted on following me, and unexpectedly appeared in front of Allen as an accountant, so I pushed him along." Let's make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, "You You don’t really think I want to smash up Allen’s restaurant.”
Wes lowered his head, thinking.
There's James as an example, so Zach probably knows what Wes is thinking about—what he should do as a detective.
To catch Allen, who is really the murderer? No, except in the eyes of the aliens involved in the incident, and in the eyes of a human being living honestly, Allen is innocent.
Abandoning this case will not lead to any results at the level of human society. The detective who gave up the case as soon as he knew the truth, can Wes get over this hurdle
"I, I need to think about it." Wes didn't know the result and glanced at Zach, "Thank you for being willing to tell me the truth."
"You're welcome, you asked." Zach concluded and gave some advice, "You can ask James, after all, he has some experience."
"No." Wes shook his head, "There's no need to let him worry about my things. I'll come up with something." He took back the notebook on the table and prepared to leave.
"Wes, do you think my intervention has caused you trouble?" Zach asked with a smile. It's obvious, isn't it? 'Trouble' is an understatement. In the gray professional circle of Grande, accepting this kind of commission can already be regarded as the enemy of the police detective. What's even worse is that Zach also used aliens in the commission. The ability to distort the appearance of events. How to describe it, it's like tying a tight knot inside a well-wound ball of wool. As a ball of wool, it looks like a round lump, but once you want to unwrap it, you will see the knots inside that cannot be smoothed out. .
"I, I don't know." Maybe it was because he was in Grand territory, Weiss replied, "But, I think." He thought for a moment, "Whether it's a gray profession or a foreign race, you don't have any You have an obligation to answer me and tell me the truth, right? You answered." Wes shook his head and nodded again, feeling a little confused. "I think, even if it is troublesome, I still hope that my question can be answered no matter what. "So..." His eyes were confused for a long time, and then he said, "I'm going to leave first. Madison said he has something to do with you." He walked quickly, for fear of what Zach would say.
Zach said nothing and watched Wes leave with a smile. The mentality that should be guided was already relying on Wes's good impression of him. The guidance was completed, wasn't it. Comparing James and Weiss, Weiss naturally has a higher opinion in terms of favorability, but when it comes to 'integrity', James is still the one. At least James answered Zach absolutely sullenly, "Yes! You're the trouble!"
Wes came up, "That man in your backyard..."
"Uh, I almost forgot." Zach tugged at the corner of his mouth and fished out the information Ford gave him from the drawer. "We will complete the funeral for this client together. You will be responsible for the cremation, and Grande will be responsible for the ceremony." He spoke very quickly. Quickly, "You watch first." He left.
Uh, what about the work meeting that was promised? Madison was left alone in the office. Zach stood on the back porch, frowning, looking at the strange, thin man in the backyard and Ryan glaring at each other, "Who are you?"
"Jimmy!" The man opened his eyes and turned to Zach, "Angel Jimmy!" His eyes became confused, "It's so strange, I'm introducing myself, I feel like I haven't introduced myself before, I, called, Jimmy. I'm, Jimmy... "There's something wrong with this guy."
Zach took a look at his face. He was short, narrow, and stunted. He thought for a moment, "Are you the mirror... wandering spirit who became an angel before Crowley?"
"Yes, yes! It's me!"
"Why are you in my backyard?" Zach tilted his head.
"Crowley asked me to come here." Jimmy glanced at the direction of the warehouse. "She said it was inconvenient for her to come here." Because the fallen angel's wings would misunderstand her as the owner, "So let me stay in Grande for the convenience of contact." …”
Zach raised his hand to stop, "Wait a minute, you said, stay in Grande."
"That's right." Jimmy blinked, "I will live here in the future. If there is something from the Saints, I will pass it on. If you have something, I will pass it on. That's it."
Zach frowned. This reason was too far-fetched. No matter who it was, he came to Grande whenever he wanted, and—"Grande has a phone. Do you know what it is? It's for contact." Shaking his head, "Also, what makes the saints think that I will accept an angel to live in my home." Seriously, Zach is a vampire.
"Please let me stay here!" Jimmy's voice suddenly became louder and more urgent, "Please let me stay!!"
Uh, weird.
Zach narrowed his eyes, "Did you petition yourself to come to Grande?"
"Yeah!" Jimmy moved forward a short distance, one on the back porch and one on the back porch with Zach, he raised his head, "Please let me stay here! Please! I don't want to go to a church full of demons, I don’t want to go to a wizard to be studied!! If I go back to heaven, I will have to listen to that old man Gallagher keep talking about how much he misses Barton! I can’t stand it, please, please, please!” The voice became louder and louder.
Zach frowned and looked at the angel strangely, "Why don't you stay at the Saint's House?"
"I can't do it!" This guy's eyes showed fear, "Qian... Saint, she will kill me!!"
Zach twitched his lips, what the hell is this
"Every day, when she comes home from school, she loses her temper and yells about the cheerleaders (Sissi and Laputra cheerleaders are not on the same page, a thousand pieces of the vase, remember), and then, then I, I..." This The angel actually looked like he was about to cry, "I can't bear it anymore! I want to be a wandering soul! It would be best to disappear one day without knowing anything! I don't want to be an angel! Ah!"
Suddenly, the expression on Zach's face disappeared, as if after thinking for a while, he actually felt sympathy. Looking at the guy in front of him, he shook his head. Yes, he was just a wandering soul who was used as a tool by the wizard. Without any consciousness, he did not ask to be what he is now.
"Whatever." Zach waved his hand and looked at this guy again, "You are just a low-level angel. You don't have a container, and Grande won't provide you with anything."
"As long as you let me stay here!" Jimmy nodded excitedly.
Without warning, Maya started laughing, "Hahaha..." Zach frowned and looked over, "Are you okay, Maya?"
"No, no..." Maya finally stood up from the bench. She had been sitting bored all afternoon, her voice kept being interrupted by her own laughter, "I, I want to tell this story to Yuehua and the others..." said After finishing, he started to raise his hand to the air, and a black spot in the distance slowly approached. It should be a pigeon.
"You can use the phone." Zach curled his lips. (.)
