15 West End

Mr. Donna Sr.'s funeral was scheduled for Wednesday, and if I wanted to be selfish, the slightly hasty funeral of Lang on Tuesday, the church preparation could be reused. No one should care about such a small thing.

Seeing off the guests, Zack thought for a moment and didn't go to Benjamin. Although Alice had gone to the North End, Eve should have found an opportunity to communicate with the girl she believed to be the Alpha Witch, but the process should not be too fast, and Benjamin would have to wait for a while in the office he was not used to before he could receive a call.

Don't worry about it for the time being, Zach went down to the basement door on the east side, hesitated for a moment, but was still discouraged by the corpse aura that was a threat to vampires, and knocked on the door, "Sloan, let's talk about it." ”

In the short conversation that had just been made to make room for Donna, Sloane had not-so-good news, and Zach felt the need to lend a hand.

Sloan was quick, and immediately pushed the door out, and glanced at Zach standing in the doorway, and the faint blue glow remnant of his face was not good.

"Failed again?" Zach raised his hand and made a gesture to speak.

Sloan nodded and followed behind Zach, "I don't know why, Lip seems to be running away from something, his traces in the dream are everywhere!"

"Sounds like a good thing. Zach didn't really know what Sloan was expressing, the topic of soul aliens, to be honest, no vampire would not be left unconcerned, "The more traces, the easier it is for you to track him." At the same time, the two walked up the stairs and went around the back porch.

"No, not at all!" Sloane glanced at Zach and sat down on a bench in the back porch, "Hmph." It's impossible for a guy like you to understand. ”

"I'm my kind of guy. Zach curled the corners of his mouth slightly, it's one thing to not be careful, it's not good to be told to be exposed, right, "Do you mean a vampire with a rotten soul." ”

It could just be a coincidence. Innocent James was in a daze on the back porch, who knows what he was thinking, and at this time Zack shook his hand in front of his eyes, "James, how about you make yourself useful, go and pour Sloan a cup of tea." ”

James glanced at Zach and then at Sloan, "If you brought Lip back, would he tell him why he had to kill himself?" ”

The words came suddenly. The reason probably doesn't need to be explained.

Zach raised an eyebrow in response to Sloane's quizzing glance with a frown, "By some coincidence, Detective Lance was involved in Mr. Green's commission to deal with Lip's suicide. As Sloan looked away and disinterested, Zach looked back at James, "I thought Benjamin and I had explained it to you at the time. There's no 'must' problem, it's just simple. If he doesn't die, he won't become a dream demon. ”

The unexpected comment was uttered by James, "So Lip thinks it's better to be an alien than to continue to be human, do you mean that?" ”

"I ......" Zach frowned, he could sense something else that James really wanted to say. After all, if Zach and Benjamin were both unclear about the Dream Demon race, it would be even more unlikely that he James would have any deep understanding, so he must not want to discuss the Dream Demon," he didn't say. ”

James understood what the more profound alien race could be. Zack, who calls him as a servant, a vampire. James was talking about Louise. Zach looked at James obliquely, "But it's all a personal choice, Lip's choice is already a fact, other people's own choices, any other people's own choices, are not for you to question." ”

"Then I don't have to work!" James's tone suddenly rushed up, angry, "You've got the banshee thing that can see death, and you have the kind of guy like you who can fool people about immortality, and the one who has been laid ......to rest and been brought out," James' hand pointed to the more innocent Harrison, who was just passing by," Then what do you want me to do, what do you want the police to do, life and death are seen through by you, obviously the worst death is the beginning of another life by you, obviously it is a bad and disgusting thing, you make another way, you ......"

Zach wasn't prepared to interrupt, because what James said was right, and what happened here has been proven to be right over and over again. But the right thing can't be equated with the good thing. If James wants to express his emotions, Zach is willing to see this guy express himself in front of him, and don't hide in some dark corner and get into the horns.

Unfortunately, James was interrupted by a somewhat irritated Sloane.

"So this is your Grande's daily conversation, about this useless 'philosophical' question. Belch. Sloan shook his head, "I can't believe Lip is messing with the future for you guys." Then the voice became quieter, "Ruined my freedom." ”

The interrupted James looked at Sloane, his face gloomy, and took a deep breath, "You haven't answered my question yet. ”

What if you answer? Sloan glanced at James, "What can you do, detective, fight for justice for Lip's death?" ”

Zach consciously moved out of the way of the two of them, because the topic was dangerous, and it was very easy for James to grab and pull him on himself again - there was no justice for Lip's suicide, at least for now, the only one who needed to be condemned was Grande, who had been entrusted with the secret handling of the suicide.

James's face became even more gloomy, of course he noticed Zack's small movements, and chose to ignore them, "That's my business, I don't need to explain it to this civilian!"

"Hmph. When class was put on the table, and there was really nothing to refute from the people in the lower places, Sloane shook his head and didn't look at James anymore, "What do you want to know, the reason for Lip's suicide, I don't need to ask him after I pull him back, I can tell you." ”

"I don't want to listen to Zach's......" James just raised the pitch to the breaking point.

"As I said, you're talking about useless things. Sloan glanced at Zack, "Because you're going to become a dream demon, so let's kill yourself, what a stupid person would do this kind of thing, is the dream demon a fun thing?" Stupid. ”

Zach pursed his lips, not knowing what to make, and chose to reach for the snack jar.

"What's happening now......" Sloane took a deep breath to himself, ignoring the reactions of James and Zach, "and it's already a difference from what should have happened." Ever since that time at the nursing home, Lip has forcibly changed the course of the future. ”

"Don't say anything I don't understand!" James said gloomily, for a creature who honestly lives on a timeline to discuss a changed future, heh, it's really too strong.

Sloan ignored it. "Originally, Lip's death, the death that should have really happened, was murder. ”

What the......

"There was no fire in the sanatorium, Pochi Quin would not be taken back to Quinn's manor, Zach used Pochi's visitation rights to enter the sanatorium and was noticed by Quinn, the sanatorium that no one cared about because of you Grande, by Smith and Quest. Also add a quinn note. Then they found out about Lip's treatment in a nursing home. Zach frowned and looked at James, the same. Sloan didn't care what the two were thinking, and continued, "As Green, the son of the director of the nursing home, Lip will lose his inheritance due to mental illness. ”

Although old-fashioned. But listen carefully, the serious stuff is below.

"Do you know who the real owner of the sanatorium is? Sloan asked. Waiting, waiting, "The Patton family." Do you know why, 50 years ago, Barton was granted the right to name Barton and became Barton's mayor? It seems that no one needs to answer this question, "because he provides education and health care for this wasteland, so that people can come and live here." This is something that no other West End family can do. ”

"Where are you going?" Zach was reminding the other party not to digress.

Sloan didn't look at Zach and continued at his own pace, "I see you're preparing for Donna's funeral, huh." Although Donna may still be a family in the South End, the development of Barton is really only a small role, and Mr. Donna's death has not changed much. The orphanage in the southern district is Kunin's, so I don't need to tell you about that. ”

"What the hell are you going to say?!" Zach just hinted, and James was just irritated.

"Was Lip's death before or after Mr. Donna?" Sloane looked at Zach after asking.

Zach waited a moment before he realized, oh, that's a real problem," After. ”

"Then let me ask you, if Pochi Quinn has not been taken back to the manor, can Mrs. Quinn have the spare time to take care of her subordinate in the Southern District, Mr. Donna's funeral, until now. ”

Zach frowned, there was a hole in Sloane's words, and Mrs. Quinn didn't have time to deal with a rural place like the Southside. Emilia's project, Smith's whitewashing, was enough for Mrs. Quinn to keep her busy.

However, Zach now knew that Boyson was there at Queen, and that Mrs. Queenn had come to inform her personally (XXV, 16) that Boyson had taken complete control of Poch, causing her serious trouble.

Emilia's project, Smith's whitewashing, these are the things Quinn is good at, and it's her life. Being haunted by a wizard is something that Quin really struggles to deal with. So if Donna's funeral was delayed because Quinn couldn't be distracted to focus on the South End, then what kept Quinn distracted was because Poch, who was originally picked up from the sanatorium and returned to the manor.

"Probably not. Zach frowned, "But there is something wrong, Quinn and Mrs. Donna Sr. have been to Grande (XXV, 15), and Quinn has been delayed in support of the funeral." ”

Of course she supported, because she couldn't spare her hand to help Donna Sr. deal with the issue of the announcement of the will, so she could only let Donna Sr. drag it on her own. ”

"Wednesday. Zach abruptly diverted the subject, "Mr. Donna's funeral will be on Wednesday, if you know something, do you have any hints for me?" ”

Sloan frowned and actually thought for a moment, "What should have happened, Mr. Donna's funeral was held a long time ago, and with the announcement of the will in the funeral, Donna's five children were annulled because they were adopted. ”

Thinking about it seriously, what should have happened was the result of Quinn's handling of Mr. Donna Sr.'s funeral without Boison being dragged behind by Poch!

"What does this have to do with Lip's murder......"

Two people interrupted James, Zach - "James, don't get around, the real Lip is committing suicide." ”

Sloane - "My boss, the director of the sitarium, Green, is chilling. The people of the West Side don't care that these people who are in the South Side, who have worked for half their lives for the glory of the West Side, can easily deprive their next generation of their lives, as exemplified by Donna's five children. ”

"Barton will strip Lip of the Inheritance Nursing Home?!" James finally followed, "Because his mental illness was discovered by the Westside?" and then lost again, "Then why was he murdered?!"

Sloan glanced at James, then looked at Zack, "I thought you said before that after the fire in the nursing home, you approached me and Lip to ask the police to help investigate, what, this guy doesn't know." ”

Zach glanced at James and waved his hand, "Detective James North District, it's Wes who I asked for help, the police officer ...... South District"

"You're letting Wes ...... again"

"James. Zach shook his head, helplessly, "How long ago happened, is it pointy to argue with me?" ”

James pursed his lips and could only hold back, "What the hell!"

Zach began to explain, "I asked Wes to help me check the patient records in the nursing home, hoping to find Lip, but I couldn't find it. Zach looked at Sloan again, "So Lip is mentally ill and can't exercise his inheritance rights just a piece of information, and there are no medical records, no records, to confirm this." ”

Sloan nodded, the expression on his face indescribable, "So if Barton can't get used to this Grimm's heir, there is no way to abolish the inheritance of the Grimm family from a legitimate point of view." ”

"So you used the wrong means?!!" James began to growl, seemingly ignoring Zack's reminder of truth.

"Not really, Sloane. Do you know what you're talking about?" Zach frowned, the land where our vampires stood and lived, was the city of Barton, and the family that gave the name so unbearable?

"No, that's not the case. Sloane tilted his head, "It's just just another thing, and it's a passing thing at best." ”

"Please continue. ”

"I see that you Grande have hired a security company, Saidil Security Company. Isn't your relationship with the people of the West End very good, why didn't you invite the Aix security guard, which is supported by the Falken family?"

Zach didn't answer, he felt that he didn't need to remind the other party not to go off-topic, and it had come to this point.

"It's okay, soon, Barton City, all the companies that cooperate with Aix Security, there will be some accidents, and then everyone will be replaced by Aix. ”

"The security of the sanatorium is the Saidil company. Zach confirmed.

It has long been said that Smith is not the only one who has been whitewashed. (To be continued.) )
