On Wednesday morning, as soon as Zach put down Madison's phone, Danny the Phantom appeared in front of Zach and said, "Kate is here!" and then disappeared without a trace.
Zach frowned, it was bad timing because before Madison's call, Zach had Falcon's appointment. In order to avoid the awkward encounter between the reporter and Falcon, Zach left the Grande and waited under the Grande sign on the dirt road.
The trembling grandmother's car turned at the interface of the gravel road and Route 27, and slowly moved towards Zach.
Without Zach having to do anything, the car automatically shut off and stopped in the middle of the road. Kate looked irritated and ravaged the key inserted in the keyhole. After several struggles with the noisy engine, there was no movement at all. Kate pushed the door open with an ugly face and came out.
"How did you know I was coming?!" It was a pointless vent, and it wasn't Zach who caused her car to break down.
"Madison called me." Zach raised his hand to stop Kate, who was continuing to rush towards Grande, and pointed to the closing sign, "If you have anything to say, tell me here."
Kate glanced at the out of business sign and began to look past Zach in the direction of Grande. But she was too optimistic about the distance of her human vision. She couldn't see anything but trees. "Huh! Is there something you don't want me to know?"
"Just take it as such." Is it necessary to explain to Kate? No, so Zach waved his hand indifferently, "If you have anything to say, tell me as soon as possible, otherwise I will disappear like the day before yesterday (Monday's funeral) and you won't be able to interview me."
"Ha, disappear. Isn't that what you are good at! Leave all the work to others..."
"What can I say, I'm a very good boss." Let's end this meaningless ridicule as soon as possible. Zach is not in the mood to be here with Kate.
Kate pouted, "So I can assume that you already know the reason for my coming from your subordinate, huh, Madison?"
"Yeah." Zach was very self-conscious. Before Kate even opened her notebook, Zach took it directly from her hand, opened it, and kindly reminded Kate who was about to get angry, "Recording, no need for me to remind you. You, Miss Reporter."
Kate's face darkened and she pressed the record button.
Zach looked at the records in Kate's notebook. He didn't care about Madison's interview records. He turned over the part that belonged to him and started, "'When did you realize that the property of the cremation and funeral industry was being stolen?' ” and the reply, “Like everyone else, a few days ago.”
"Be specific..." Kate tried to interrupt Zach's interview with himself. Who cares about her
Instead, “Do you want me to write it down for you, or is recording enough?”
"you… "
Zach interrupted with a shrug and ignored him. Anyway, he was so annoying, so why did he come? Seeing this first question, you should be able to find that Kate has gotten involved in an issue that she shouldn't touch. So, Zach On 'reminder' Kate, you hate me, please focus on hating me.
Continuing, first with the question, "'What do you think about the fact that Grand's competitor, Allen Funeral Home, was the first to report the theft to the police? Ford and Grand Mills were the first to report the same problem." '" Then came the answer, Zach raised his eyebrows, "My opinion? Well, let me think about it. Sorry, I don't have an opinion, but I should probably be more strict with Madison. If Allen hadn't called the police, the news would have spread. When he comes to me, he will probably hide the loss of the mill from me. Haha, it seems that I am not very competent as a boss."
Kate's heart, like ours, is a mirror, and she knows full well that Zach is talking nonsense! But like us, she couldn't have a seizure and could only watch Zack's suit quietly.
us? We need to know how Zach twisted it and the truth about the serial thefts in the funeral industry linked to the disappearance of illegal workers in Port Massa.
Kate? Oh, it's very insulting to her professionalism as a reporter—none of her interviews with Zach went smoothly! Either he would be left speechless by Zach's rhetorical questions, or this guy would simply disappear! Oh, there was that time when the South District police came to search, but as a result, after a perfect smear article was published in the newspaper, someone actually went to Grande for a funeral! ! So, now Kate is in the best situation she can get—staring at Zach with a twisted face as she continues to flip through the notes and start the next question.
"'There are continuous problems in the cremation industry. Who do you think is the beneficiary?'" Zach must praise this question. Can you reverse the logic in Kate's mind when she came up with this question - cremation is blocked, tell the truth, who is happy? . Zach raised his eyebrows and smiled at the gloomy Kate, "Haha, the beneficiary? I could have admitted that it was me, Grande of the traditional funeral industry, but I'm sorry, Miss Reporter." Pointing to the out-of-business sign, I benefited from going out of business, it was really a huge benefit! No need to explain.
Everyone should still remember Kate's habit of asking one question on a page. Halfway through the page, Zach said, "Well, I probably understand the logic of your interview. I can guess what your next question will be." Acting. He closed the notebook in the same manner, "You want to ask me if I stole something from my competitor Allen. After all, according to your idea, I am a guy who must retaliate. Allen and Grande's The relationship was already very bad, and he exposed my arrogance in court in your previous report (in the previous report, it was written that Allen angrily accused Zach of going to court without even inviting a lawyer. Volume 1, 19) .Am I right?"
There was actually a hint of joy on Kate's face, and the recording pen was almost in front of Zach's mouth~ These words were all spoken by Zach himself, no one guided him~ Let Kate be happy, just for a little while. Just a child.
"Then, you have some supporting evidence." Zach chuckled nonchalantly, "Alan was the first to call the police and publicly revealed the fact that the funeral was also stolen, followed by Ford and Grande's mill. You must Do you think that, as the black hand behind the scenes, I just tried to cover up the facts after Allen revealed the matter, creating the illusion that the entire funeral industry was stolen? After all, theft is a common thing for me, haha, Pai Siying Activity center? But obviously, I can’t just return the things this time and let Allen calm down, so I might as well make it bigger, right?”
"Haha, yes, yes! Please continue~" Kate narrowed her eyes, looking extremely encouraging.
Zach patted Kate's head. It was due to the height difference and nothing else. "Haha, I appreciate your imagination." It should be Zach's 'imagination' that should be praised, "But I'm sorry, you are wrong. "Hold Kate's hand, bring the recorder closer, and speak calmly -
“The reason why only Allen called the police in the beginning was very simple—both Ford’s and Grand’s mills have direct cooperative relationships with the police, the North District Police Department and the South District Police Department. Their being stolen only shows that the police did not do anything. The police should do their job well. Funeral homes directly protected by the police department are being invaded and robbed silently, and they are still being invaded and stolen continuously." Zach glanced at Kate's face, darkened again, and continued, "So, Of course, Allen, who has nothing to do with the police, will be the first funeral home to publicly call the police, and only Allen will do this."
Zach felt Kate's force trying to withdraw the recorder. Obviously, these remarks related to the scandal involving the interests of the Barton police should not be recorded. She doesn't need to offend any more people now.
Zach let go, shrugged and continued, "So, back to your first question, how did I realize these things? My answer is the same as everyone else."
Kate had already begun to wash out her recording, staring at Zach with a twisted face, "You..." a gloomy voice said, "You are a disgusting person!"
"I've been called worse." Zach was thinking about the parasite that James was talking about. He waved his hand and his face returned to a smile, "So, besides this conspiracy theory against me, do you have anything else you want to ask? What?" This question was asked without sincerity, and Zach had already stretched out his hand to hand back Kate's note.
"Be proud of it!" Kate must have become angry, "I must admit that the city government and the police are there to 'protect' you! You are still safe! But wait! Sooner or later I will let you..."
Before she could finish her weak threat, she was interrupted by the blaring loudspeaker behind her.
It's not Falcon, it's a car with the logo of Seidir Security Company. Kate's car is stuck in the middle of this gravel road, isn't it? The people behind are honking to signal to move away.
Kate returned to the car irritably and continued to try to start her grandmother's car. Zach walked around the back of the car and looked at the person who got out, "Sadel?" The owner of the security company, Zach vaguely remembered the car at Bishop Manor. I met him once.
"Grand." The broad, middle-aged man also glanced at Zach. After saying hello, his eyes swept over the car of his grandmother who kept whining, and he frowned.
Zach did not directly ask the security company owner what he was doing here. Instead, he walked to Kate's window, helplessly dug into his pocket and took out a few coins, "I don't think this is the last time we see each other, so, I I'll get a towing company to come over and you can pay me back next time. But now, you should leave."
Kate still had some dignity and pushed away the change that Zach handed over, "I brought my wallet today!" She got out of the car angrily, her eyes fell on the signs of Saidil and Saidil's security, and the corner of her eye twitched, He strode back and ignored him.
Zach glanced at Sadier and made an invitation gesture towards Grande. Zach could only imagine that the boss was here to check on his employees, "Shepard and the others are installing alarms. The structure of our new living area is a bit complicated, but it should be completed today." Then please help me a little. Well, after all, Grande earned the free upgrade.
Seidir didn't look at Zach. He just nodded and didn't speak as he walked beside Zach.
Zach didn't know what the other person was thinking, so he walked quietly. Originally, Nuo could be a topic of conversation for the two of them during this journey, but out of gray professional ethics, Zach was still prepared to remain silent. If this Saidil has no special purpose, then when he gets to Grande, he probably won't need Zach to take care of him.
Still, bad timing. Falcon could come to Grande any day. And because of the magical experience the day before yesterday, on Monday, Zach could confirm that Falcon was here to make a commission.
"How much?" Saidil suddenly asked inexplicably, and added, "Unless it's a matter of life and death, Nuo and I have always been brothers and settled accounts, so what's your price if I hire you?"
It was straightforward. Zach turned his head slightly and glanced at Saidil. Sure enough, he asked Shepard to send a message yesterday.
"It depends on what you need me to do." Zach gave an extremely vague answer. There was no way. Zach was just so unprofessional. Nou still had a listed office, but Zach was just a funeral home.
"Make something disappear."
Still vague, "It depends on what these things you need to disappear and where to put them."
"Documents, most of them, maybe some records, small things and the like." Saidil glanced at Zach, "And these things are in more than one place, and they are scattered in the hands of some very powerful people in Barton. "
Zach is not completely clueless. Shepard's words yesterday showed that Sadier Security lost the competition with Aix Security, didn't it? Seidir completely began to shrink their market scope, giving up business that was really worth keeping, such as those big ones in the West End.
Looking at the facts, Grande has actively or accidentally helped Sadier several times, and the process of letting Ax control Barton's security has been blocked several times. Even so, Saidil is still passively retreating and has lost his competitiveness. There must be a reason, right
"Sounds like a very troublesome and dangerous thing." Zach glanced at Sadier.
Saidil also looked at Zach, "You didn't even tell me the basic price, how do I know how much to increase it."
Uh... It's really a direct and efficient way of talking.
But Zach unexpectedly liked it, and just smiled, "Let's start with the deposit, cash, three..." Zach stopped temporarily and had already entered Grande's range. The main entrance and the entrance to the backyard were right in front of him. , but Zach directly patted Saidil, who was still waiting for a quote, "You should go to the west side first to inspect the progress of the work. We can talk about it later."
Saidil frowned and looked at a black spot gradually approaching from the west on the gravel road. Slowly, he could make out that it was a limo.
"It's Falcon." Zach glanced at Saidil, "If you care." This is a test. If Saidil doesn't even know about the relationship between Ax and Falcon, then Zach has nothing to do with it. That’s all to say.
Fortunately, Saidil knitted his eyebrows together and stared at Zach without speaking.
"You can think about it again." Zach smiled, "We are partners." In terms of security, "We are friends of friends." Nuo, "No matter whether you decide to 'settle the score' with me in the end, I won't I'll mind. I can guarantee that."
Saidil moved the corner of his mouth and entered the backyard. Shepard had already come to greet him immediately, so there was no need to pay attention to that side for the time being.
Zach stood directly in front of Grande's door, waiting for Falcon's arrival with a smile. (.)
