"You saw something."
As Coulson's car pulled away from Grande, Zach started asking Maya.
Maya smiled and said, "It's okay, the death incident has disappeared."
Zach was not very relaxed. Unlike the kind where he turned left when he went out and was killed by a flower pot falling from the roof, this kind of unexpected death-death event was something like 'I turned left today'. Coulson's now-avoided death begins when he gets the case.
This means that the flower pot that will hit Coulson's head is still on top of Coulson's head, but Zach has temporarily led him to turn right. When it is time to turn left, Coulson will still be hit. And the worst-case scenario is that when Coulson turns left, Zach isn't there, and neither is Maya.
That's right, Zach didn't want James' partner to die inexplicably.
Maya was indeed very smart. She looked at Zach and frowned, "I can tell you the specific process, but when you check it yourself, you will feel that it has been spoiled and boring."
Zach pursed his lips and glanced at Maya, "You seem sure that I will continue to investigate this case."
"Yes." Maya smiled and nodded, "You want to save this detective. Because I said, he died trying to block the bullet for you. If the story Yuehua Baiying told me is correct, you should be very happy. 'Disdain' this kind of behavior of sacrificing others." She smiled even more happily.
Zach was helpless, Maya was right. Apparently Yuehua Baiying told Maya the story of Zach and Ike - the vampire told the soldiers on the battlefield not to think about saving themselves, but to cherish their lives.
Zach shook his head, "Yes, this makes me unhappy. But in itself, I care more about this case." He forced a high profile and said, "People who commit such crimes should not be let go."
Although Maya didn't see the case documents that Coulson brought at all, in the death scene she saw, everything revolved around this case, so she understood what Zach meant and nodded, "Well. What do you want? Okay, I can tell you your original investigation process. But really, like I said, after telling you, you will be spoiled."
Isn't the point of predicting death events just to be revealed and then changed. Zach nodded, actually raised his eyebrows, and smiled, thinking of something interesting, "How come the black witches in Salem now actually start to care about this kind of 'spoilers will make people feel boring'" Plant something.”
Yuehua did this to Zach before, or in a serious incident like Louise almost turning into a Gangero! Remember, when they were in Grande, they had already 'seen' Louise's struggle to become a vampire in her heart, and they delayed telling Zach until the incident was about to come to an end. The reason is just that they want to know how things got there step by step, so they let the people involved in the incident, Zach and Louise, move to the outcome step by step without being spoiled.
Maya tilted her head, "Well, I don't quite understand, but, haha, this is the education I received." She looked at Zach, "Seeing death is not a comfortable thing, so we learned The first thing is to ignore it and let it happen. Then we start to learn to distinguish which death events we want, are willing to change." She smiled, "Once you know how to distinguish, it will naturally happen. This feeling. The death we don’t want to care about will happen. The death we want to change will be changed." There is pride in this tone. Is it racial pride? "We know the direction of those people, and we have the ability to control the direction. The next step is whether to tell the people among them and let them know what we know. This is a selective giving that is completely decided by us. I think it’s natural to care about the feelings of the recipient.”
Zach got an unexpected answer. Maya became 'high' after saying these words. Zach turned his eyes aside and thought about how his own race, the vampires, turned the eternal punishment of punishment into the pride of the race. This is probably the same process.
"Then let me get started." Maya adjusted her mood, "If I hadn't reminded you, you and Coulson would have..."
"Wait a minute." Zach smiled, "It's about to be spoiled, how about you let me have a sense of participation." He raised his finger towards Maya, "Let me tell you how I investigated this case. "
Maya raised her eyebrows and said, "Okay." It seemed interesting.
"The method of committing the crime was so cruel that it was inhuman, so I would think of aliens. And then the place where it happened was near Ogier Street. My first thought was Ogier Street, the mind-reading person Morelin."
Maya smiled and nodded, "The key clue is obtained."
This conversation about spoilers became a plot word game.
Zach touched his chin, thinking, "Because Coulson is here, I can't go directly to Morelin to ask about the case."
The protagonists of this game are Zach and Maya? It’s the narrator who hosts the game—
"The information you have now, because this case was not reported by any media three years ago, is only Detective Coulson's investigation documents."
This game is very fun, because the sense of immersion is perfect, no one has any objections.
Zach started pacing, "I have a rental apartment where the body (bone pile) was found. According to the documents Coulson just gave me, it is now occupied by people who have no idea what happened here." Frowning, "The witnesses have also moved away, and most of the surrounding tenants have changed in the past three years. Coulson's investigation yesterday has confirmed that no one knows about this case."
Maya: "The direction you can continue to investigate is still the mind-reader Mr. Morelin." This game is quite humane, with plot prompts.
"Then, what I have to do now is to use the things in Coulson's hands to make Coulson leave temporarily and provide me with the opportunity to find the key clue person, Morelin, like this?"
"Yes~" Look, a humane game.
Zach was silent for a while and raised his eyebrows, "The people who know about this case are not only civilians, but also the police who have been responsible for investigating this case."
The game also comes with automatic bug fixes - "In the last few pages of the file, if it hadn't been for my intervention and you weren't paying attention, you would have found the list of police officers responsible for investigating the case at that time."
"Detective Coulson should have checked with these colleagues to check the case records when they got the case." Zach frowned. He didn't think this was the way to go. After all, there was no need to question Coulson's ability to work.
"If it's just colleagues of the same level or lower level, Detective Coulson will naturally look for him." Maya smiled and behaved as a game narrator should, "You found a person on the list, who is now Detective Coulson. The detective’s immediate boss, the head of the homicide team (as mentioned before, is a capable little woman), was a female detective three years ago when this case occurred.”
Zach tilted his mouth and said, "I questioned whether Coulson had asked his boss about the investigation at that time?" Question.
Maya doesn't speak, so naturally, if you ask the narrator what to say when playing the game, will the narrator answer
Zach shook his head in a strange mood, "Okay, I question it."
Maya took a deep breath with a smile to prepare for the next big paragraph—
"In the office, a new conversation started. You asked Coulson about the exchange between him and the current team leader. Coulson remained silent with an ugly face. You inferred that Coulson never asked the team leader about it. You asked why, Coulson Sen replied helplessly. After the case was discovered, the team leader was very angry and went to Director Darcy... "
Maya was still talking, but Zach didn't interrupt. It's necessary. Whoever plays a game and has the ability to interrupt the narration can do nothing but listen. Moreover, a good game always unfolds the background of the game like this. Take a look at what unfolds here.
"Coulson said that the atmosphere between the team leader and Director Darcy has always been strange. It is not a male-female thing, but a feeling of opposition. From what Coulson felt in the bureau, ever since Director Darcy casually After making the comment "How can a woman be the mayor" in the exchange, the leader of the homicide team has been rejecting all the decisions made by the new director Darcy."
Yes, this game takes place now, during the mayoral candidate competition. Who does Darcy from the West support? James' template, Anthony. No one knows who the female leader of the homicide team supports, but she will definitely not be happy that Darcy said such things, regardless of whether Darcy meant it or not.
After hearing the extended background of this game, Zach nodded helplessly. He cursed in his heart that Darcy was too careless and continued this game, "I need a reason for Coulson to go to his team leader to gain an opening for me to go to Morelin to get real clues."
Maya, well, she was probably a little over-invested. She was still a girl after all, "The mission is started, Zach, continue!"
Zach touched his chin, "I will say to Coulson, um, um..." thinking, "For the sake of police duties..." Zach curled his lips and shook his head, "I can't say such a thing, but I still treat Coulson with this tact. guy."
Maya just laughed, and the narrator wasn't going to give any hints.
"Okay, I will, um, say..." Zach said very slowly, "Maybe Director Darcy deliberately revealed this case because the team leader is a woman and because the team leader has publicly opposed the director's remarks. The director , Well, by deliberately bringing up this case that the team leader was unable to solve and whether there are any clues to continue now, it is to create obstacles for the team leader's future career path. 'A woman cannot be the mayor.' That woman, maybe, can't either. Suitable for anything, ‘long’…”
Zach shut up before he finished speaking, shook his head, and looked at Maya, "Now let me think about this matter. I feel that if I said this, then I would be a really bad person." Isn't it? Ke is combining all the intelligence at hand to instigate and confront two people whose misunderstandings were caused entirely by unintentional actions, for his own purposes.
Maya shrugged, "That's what you said, almost word for word."
Zach turned his eyes away and pursed his lips. Suddenly, the sense of immersion in this game became a little uncomfortable.
Maya still kept her smile, "You made Coulson think that his boss, the female team leader, would try his best to remove this case that would be an obstacle to her, even if it was for her own future in the police station, even if Coulson didn't take the initiative to find her. , the female team leader will also personally interrogate Coulson's investigation progress at some point. But Coulson's current progress is zero, and without the help of his partner, it has completely stalled. If the smooth Detective Coulson doesn't want to be caught between the team leader and Directors should not be too obvious about avoiding suspicion. They should explain the situation to the team leader now, pretend to be completely unaware of the power struggle above them, and position themselves as a small role who just works hard, so that they will not be ignored by anyone. One party needs to be held accountable.”
Zach nodded, because that was exactly what he would say. It is a fact that this case failed in the hands of the female team leader three years ago. Now it's in Coulson's hands, and he has solved the case. For the female team leader, this is the result of the good work of her men; for Director Darcy, this is another proof that men can do things that women cannot. On the contrary, if Coulson really stopped the case like this, his situation would be the worst. The female team leader will not be happy, and the director will not be happy - you are as useless as a woman.
As long as Zach carefully controls the way he instills this entry point into Coulson and emphasizes 'a small role that does a good job', he can persuade Coulson to take action.
Of course, as to whether all this is true, are the team leader and the director really fighting? Who knows, maybe the death event that confirms this thing has been changed. What is here now is just the protagonist Zach, who is playing a plot game. He is playing his role as a player, combining all the intelligence provided in the game, and controlling the actions of his NPC teammate Coulson out of nothing.
"I persuaded Coulson to go to the team leader. Now I have time to go to Ogier Street to find Morelin."
"You have two hours." Maya performed the narration job competently, "You and Coulson separated, and he returned to the police station. He thought that during this time you would start asking people in the gray professional circle. Regarding the information on this case, we made an appointment to contact you in two hours." Maya smiled and said, "This is Coulson's request. He is still worried that something bad will happen in his conversation with the team leader, so he asked you to help. Regardless of whether there are clues or not, in two hours, go find him and rescue him in the conversation with the team leader."
Zach smiled and shook his head, "Two hours. Haha, two hours is too much to communicate with a mind reader." About three minutes is enough, "The only thing I need to care about is, Morelin Will you tell me?" A case that has been silent for three years, isn't it
This game has hit its first hurdle.
Maya spread her hands towards Zach, "The death incident belongs to Coulson. The picture I saw did not follow you. I don't know the communication between you and Morelin, I only know the result." The narrator The work is still going on, "Morelin said, you have obtained the clue. After meeting Coulson in the afternoon, you go..."
The game ends here.
"Don't tell me." Zach looked at Maya with a smile, "You're right, it doesn't feel good to be spoiled. I'd better take part in it myself."
Maya raised her eyebrows, then nodded, "Okay. No more spoilers. Now are you going to Ogier Street to find Morelin? Take me with you and send me to Paisying. I want to find Si Bella."
Zach narrowed his eyes, "Is this related to Coulson's case..."? It's a question.
"Don't ask." Maya smiled and winked at Zach, already heading towards the car. Such a willful game narrator who rejected the player... (.)
