Not long after Mo left, someone came from Fisher's side. Zach naturally took people to the basement on the east side and let those people take pictures as proof to take back to Fisher. In addition, the visitor also gave Zach new clues to pursue, no, to act-
"The crew on the freighter last night had been interrogated by Mr. Fisher. Except for a few people with knowledge of the matter, most of the crew did not even know what cargo was missing on the ship or why they were being interrogated. As for the people with knowledge of the matter, nothing was asked at all. He insisted that the cargo would be there until entering the port. There was no other way, Mr. Fisher could only use the excuse of giving these crew members a holiday to leave them in Barton. This is their address and contact information. Both the insider and the uninformed were there. Their testimonies are also marked on it. Mr. Fisher said that if you want to investigate, you can feel free to do so. If necessary, you can even act first and report later. Mr. Fisher said that he completely trusts your judgment."
Act first? The meaning of this action must not be a good one. Zach did not show any inappropriate attitude and nodded to accept the information, "In addition to these corpses that were transported to Grande, I also found some. In terms of number, they can probably match the people who disappeared before. . I’m not too sure, but it’s not convenient for me to go in and out of Port Massa too often. I’ll transport them all back for statistics. You can report them to Fisher, and he can send people to search northwest of Port Massa and around the mouth of the Charles River.”
Zach made a downward movement. Considering that the skin of these corpses was obviously white and swollen, the other party should understand what it meant. "After the number is counted, the corpses can be sent to Grande and left to me for processing." Zach wavered slightly. He looked apologetic and said, "I hope Mr. Fisher understands."
This is the reason why these republican corpses were brought to Grande by Dora and Bumi early this morning. Because I want to show it to Fisher. Last night, Zach worked very hard to help Fisher. After working hard all night, the results were achieved, and the results were not complete. Fisher had to perfect them—
"Well. Then, Mr. Grande, can I ask you how you found these corpses? So that I can report back to Mr. Fisher."
Zach waved his hand, "Pure luck." Looking at the other party, "With what happened in the southeast at that time, I think everyone who wants to do something 'little' will feel that Barton is a seaside How convenient the city is (for the purge in the southeast, Aix threw the bodies of other gangs into the sea)." Zach said casually, "Not just the sea, but also the Paisine River and the Charles River. It’s easy to think of the place where corpses are disposed of, but I just went to the intersection of the three to try my luck, and I bumped into it.”
The other party pursed his lips slightly after hearing this. Of course, this guy who was just sent to run errands and deliver news was not qualified to question anything Zach said. Well, the way Zach expressed it, there was really nothing to question. The other party nodded, "If there is any progress, please contact me at any time. The same is true for us (Fisher). I will contact you at any time."
It is not a commission, so there is no need to follow the Grand Gray professional principle of only providing results. But, this is more suitable for the current situation and makes it easier for Zach to act step by step. Otherwise, Zach will let Fisher wait for a while and finally say, "I helped, but I didn't help anything." Leave it to Fisher, Isn't that a bit shameless
Therefore, the situation of both parties participating at the same time and taking one step at a time is exactly suitable for the nature of this event.
Zach nodded and said nothing more. There was no need to say more. The other party was just a messenger. It was not suitable for Fisher to contact Zach personally for such a dangerous matter. It was normal to have such a person.
After sending away the messenger, Zach directly called Danny, "Send it to the mill (Republic's body) and let Madison deal with it."
Danny is also considered a veteran of Grande, "Well, what should I do if Madison doesn't want to do it?"
"If you show him that there are republicans here, he will definitely agree." Zach shrugged. Why so sure? Have you forgotten Madison’s phone call yesterday? He wanted to know about Cerberus going to Marsa Port and give Madison an opening to explore the matter on his own.
Zach was not worried at all and Madison just called him to ask questions. Haha, did you think of it? If you want to ask questions, you should start with his demon Leon.
Danny went knowingly.
Zach left the basement with the new clues he had just obtained and flipped through them casually as he walked through the back corridor. Basically, it was similar to the information they got last night. On the cargo ship, the only crew members who knew about it were the captain, the first mate, a chef, and two tallymen.
The confessions of these people were very consistent, and Zach didn't think they were lying. The demons and subordinates of the fallen angels had confirmed it last night by force. The other crew members also had no idea why they were being questioned, just as the messenger said just now.
Zach lost interest after flipping through a few pages. He was just about to put down the information and concentrate on walking - back to the office, just in time to participate in the end of the alliance negotiation between Sibella and Dora, from beginning to end. My eyes were attracted by a name on the information, and I looked over again...
"Zach." Maya walked out of the back door of the showroom and stopped Zach walking on the back porch.
Zach raised his eyes, "Maya, the call is finally over?" It was enough to make sure that the name was correct, and we would talk about it later. Glancing at the reception desk of the showroom inside the door, Louise finally got the phone as she wished and started calling customers. At tomorrow's farewell ceremony, the final guest list was confirmed - Louise returned to work, indicating that Louise had returned to work. Yi Si's mood was no longer problematic. Zach felt relieved and continued to ask Maya, "What did Yue Hua say?"
Maya frowned, this was probably not a good sign, "Yuehua and the others said they had never seen anything like this before, so they asked everyone to help think about it. They also asked people who were still in Salem to check many previous records." He pursed his lips and glanced at Zach, "I just found two cases of similar deaths."
Zach also frowned. Salem may not have a long history, but the history of the Banshees cannot be underestimated. Those are the people who originated with Papa Midnight. The records they recorded, I'm afraid no one can imagine how far back it can go.
You can understand it if you think about it this way - can anyone imagine the era of the Holy Lord's creation from the holy scriptures? If not, please treat Papa Midnight, who believes in witchcraft, with the same equality as you would treat the Holy Lord.
The point being made is that there are only two instances of banshees being recorded in mourning. There have been only two instances of Indians in the entire history of this continent. Then, Maya just saw the third case in Grande's basement.
Alliance negotiations, huh, no matter what the nails on the board are for, Zach has to ask, "What are the two cases?"
"When Papa Midnight tried to create the Death Apostle Contract." Maya looked at Zach, "I know that after the establishment of the Federation, Papa Midnight created another Death Apostle..." She curled her lips, "I heard what Yuehua and the others said, In the spring, he was still creating Death Apostles in Barton. But I'm not talking about these, but the very beginning, when Papa was still inventing such things as Death Apostles at midnight."
Zach frowned, this was an impact on our original knowledge of vampires, "The original beginning? I thought the Dead Apostles were created by Papa Midnight to mock the Holy Lord's faith." The tilted cross, remember.
"It doesn't matter what the Dead Apostle contract mark on the heart is." Maya shook her head and pursed her lips, "What I want to tell you is the deepest secret of us black witches, the witchcraft obtained from Papa Midnight Knowledge." The Banshee originated from Papa Midnight's sister. I have mentioned this many times, right? "The most important thing about the Dead Apostles is to leave something that belongs to Papa Midnight in the beating and living heart of the Dead Apostles. Mark. As long as that heart beats for a day, it beats for Papa at midnight. This is the meaning of a Dead Apostle."
Zach pursed his lips. This could explain the eternally unequal price and gain of the Death Apostle Contract—Papa controlled the foundation of an existence through the mark on his heart at midnight. This slight deviation from the topic did not make Zach forget the topic, "What are these two precedents?"
"The two original experimental subjects died." Maya still frowned, "Ordinary humans cannot bear to have Papa Midnight's exclusive mark branded on their hearts."
Zach curled his lips, feeling inexplicably taken for granted.
Maya continued, "The result is that the most important organ in the human body is suddenly destroyed, causing the body's functions to shut down in an instant, and the person dies. Papa Midnight will not use his followers to conduct such experiments..." Oh, don't stop here. This boring place puts humanity on this guy who has lived for who knows how many years. "So when the Banshee looks at it, at the beginning of death, there are no two people who have faith and devote themselves to this process. It's just, simple Yes, one day, at a certain moment, I met Papa Midnight on a whim, and at that moment, he died."
Zach turned around and faced Danny, the phantom man, who was moving the body into the car against the cover of the car (which was blocking Austin and the others at the western construction site), "Has the xx (cabinet door) been moved up?"
Danny didn't seem to listen to the conversation here. He was stunned for a moment and looked at the black body bag in his hand, "This is it."
"Put it back." Zach gave the order directly and walked back to the east side. He had to confirm it, right? At the same time, he glanced at Maya and asked, 'Do you want to come with me to confirm? '
It was necessary. As the third banshee who had seen such a death after crossing countless eras, how could she not look at it clearly! Maya nodded and followed Zach directly.
Maya also followed behind. Sibera, who had successfully concluded the negotiation, didn't even think about asking Zach what he wanted to do. She saw the vampire following a corpse down to the basement and immediately followed.
Zach was too lazy to explain. If it was as he guessed, Sibeira would understand it the moment she saw it. Remember, the first real collaboration between our vampire and this wizard was because of Papa Midnight's Death Apostle.
Put on your gloves and pick up the No. 10 knife.
Zach put his hand on the chest of the republican's swollen corpse, took a look at Maya who was serious, and Sibella who was holding her arms and tilting her head with a casual expression, and then took action.
A very smooth knife. In the middle of the pale chest, a thin opening was opened by the vampire's deep fingers. From the look of Zach, his chest was opened without any effort.
Zach and Maya both pursed their lips and frowned.
Sibella, on the other hand, still held her arms, tilted her head, and moved her chin, "And then." Her eyes lingered on the open-chested corpse in front of her for a moment before she seemed to lose interest, "You have to explain your Grand Is there a heart or not..." Sibella leaned forward, looking at the appearance of the corpse, "Is it the reason for the corpse of the Republican?"
The point is already in the first half of the sentence, there is no heart.
Before Zach had time to say anything, Sibella clicked her tongue and said unhappily, "That's great. Just after we formed an alliance with Nofeile, we found out that Grande is doing this kind of thing." She glanced at Zach and said, "You just Don’t you think this kind of thing should be told to me before we form an alliance, as a matter of etiquette.”
The corners of Zach's mouth were raised crookedly, and his filthy, gloved hands were raised in front of him. He also glanced at Sibella, "What do you care about? The one you are allying with is not Grande." This. The words were so childish. There was no particular reason. Zach wanted to be childish to Sibella today. It was because of his emotions.
"You're right." Sibella looked around, stretched out the arm she was holding, pinched a new glove, and put it on her hand. She twisted the disemboweled corpse as if in disgust, and fiddled with it, "I care. What?" A mocking tone. That's what he said, but his eyes seemed to be thinking about something.
Of course he would think about it. Apart from the large disembowelment wound that Zach had just made and the hole in the heart, there were no other wounds on this body.
Sibella directly threw away the gloves she just took. The thinking in her eyes did not affect her other actions at all. She turned around and prepared to go up. "I'm going to find John. I'm done talking about the matter and I'm going back."
Zach didn't want to pay attention and glanced at Maya, "At least the principle is the same. If the heart is destroyed, the effect of death should be the same as if the heart disappears directly, right."
Maya nodded with a bad expression, "It's the same." She looked at Zach, "But there's another thing. This kind of sudden death also has a certain process for the deceased, just like accidental death. When you go out and turn right, you are hit by a flower pot on the roof. Death begins when you turn right..." Although this example is so cliche that it is almost said to be bad, it is easy to understand. "The person who died at least once made his own decision, which is the key to his final death. Start the whole death incident. Logically speaking, this republican’s last life decision should be to enter the stowaway cargo ship that was unable to move during the entire voyage. But, I can’t even see the beginning, which shows... "
"Just like Papa's midnight whim to create the Death Apostle Contract, death." Zach frowned, "It's so sudden and random that the death himself has no meaning no matter what choice he makes. Whether he dies or not, he dies. The moment when an event begins and the moment when it ends are the same moment.”
Zach shook his head, "You black witches are experts in death. Among all the people who create death that you know, are there any murderers who can create this kind of death? Except for Papa Midnight."
"I, I don't think there is anyone so powerful..."
"I think so too." Zach took off his gloves, "Danny, bag it and move it up." (.)
