On the way back from voting, Zach had been playing with the badge representing the citizens of Patton. To be honest, it looks quite cheap and difficult to match Zack Zack's style of dressing. But ~ if that's what Anthony is trying to say, it's perfect—

The badge in the city of Barton has the same meaning to a character named Zachary Grande as it does to a warrior named Ann Anthony who lives forever on the battlefield.

Look, perfect fit.

When he returned to Grande, the badge was no longer in Zach's possession, and he kept it close to him. There are guests coming.

This man should have been here yesterday, Mr. Quest from Big Q.

Based on the fact that Quest doesn't like Zach and Zach doesn't like Quest, the two met without any politeness and went straight to the point.

"You want a list of our supermarket year-end reward awards, here. Dropping a list on Zach's desk, "Can I go?" ”

"If I just want this list, I don't need to let you come and run it yourself. Zach received the list, and Big Q's event gave away twelve travel awards, don't worry about what they are, all you need to know is the location and length of vacation in these twelve awards, according to the ranking, it is getting farther and farther away from Barton. On the list that Zach saw, the first prize was already a week trip to Vega in the western part of the Federation.

"What do you want. "Mr. Quest is very direct.

"Benjamin gave me the report of the Patton citizen who blew himself up on the first day of voting. Zach replied to the people on the list, "All I got was a two-day and one-night xx tour." "The city to the east, not far away," I wondered, how did you choose these locations. ”

Quest grimaced, "Should I call someone from my planning department and ask him how he planned it?" ”

"Call it if you think it's appropriate. "But if I start saying that the citizens of Patton blew themselves up in the city hall, you're responsible for explaining to your staff that our city's police department is covering up this kind of attack in broad daylight." ”

Explain. Quest is Zach called...... Please. Because we were already well aware of Benjamin's attitude towards commissions, Benjamin had no choice but to unilaterally decide that his work was over when it came to the man he knew, now Mr. Quest. Next, it's up to Zack.

Zach told Quest that the citizen who won the Big Q supermarket feedback award died in the city hall square, and there was no burden on this matter. The most immediate consideration is to facilitate Quest's cooperation. We all know how unpleasant Quest and Grande were in the past, and Zach didn't think it would be a helping point for Zach to secretly investigate Quest now. It must be resistance. Therefore, it is better to use a fact that the other party cannot avoid to let him cooperate.

After listening to Zach's words, Quest's face turned gloomy, "Should I bring a lawyer?" ”

"You don't need a lawyer. Zach waved his hand, "No one suspects that you killed that Patton citizen." ”

"Hmph. Quest stared at Zach, "So the person who asked me for the list of winners wasn't the Barton police, it was you, a funeral owner, right?" "It's a mockery, the kind of disgust. Quest knew very well what Grande was.

Zach didn't look at Quest, he looked at the list he had gotten, "There are a few names and awards that have been crossed out, what do you mean." ”

"It's discounted. Quest replied quickly, "Not all people who win the lottery are interested in getting the prize, they prefer money, so they refund the prize and ask for cash." ”

Zach glanced at Quest, not quite appreciating Quest's comment on this kind of human nature, "Or, people just don't have time to travel, and the money is more realistic." ”

Quest looked away and casually looked at Grande's office, "Are you that kind of person?" It seemed like just a casual question.

Nazak replied casually, "Not at all." ”

"Hahaha. The ghost knows what Quest was laughing at, his gaze didn't return to Zach and continued to look around the office, "You'll see some awards and names marked with an asterisk, which is a sign that the prize has been redeemed. It's like the guy you said he blew himself up in the city hall square. ”

Zach glanced at Quest again, mainly at the end of Quest's final sentence. "You think I'm lying to you. No one was blowing themselves up in the city hall square. ”

Quest shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

"Unfortunately, I didn't. Zach didn't look at Quest anymore, "I thought I was getting closer and closer to the people of the West End now...... "Yuri focused on being an elite club in the West End, and gave Quest the original Liszt's scattered properties in the North Side, haven't forgotten, "You already understand what is happening in this city, not all of them can be seen on the news." ”

Quest withdrew his staring gaze, stared at the desk table, and did not speak gloomily.

Zach looked at the list for a while, "How do you use these awards, how do you use them?"

This question is a bit general, but fortunately Quest will give a detailed explanation-

"The winner will receive proof of winning, which can be used by any merchant outside of the 'Quest Group' to prove his or her expenses, transportation, accommodation, entertainment, ...... All purchases are billed to the Quest Group. ”

"It means you're paying for all the expenses that these people spend in the field. Zach was slightly surprised, Quest, who once wanted to even rely on the commission fee, is now so generous?

"Do you have any comments? Quest was quite sensitive, glaring at Zack.

Zach smiled, "No. Aside from the boring thoughts, what Zach was really thinking was, "How did this happen? No offense, but Quest may be a bit famous at Barton because of Big Q, but outside the Western Federation Why would those out-of-town merchants recognize your proof of the Quest Group?"

"They don't recognize it. Quest didn't look at Zach, turned his head sideways and didn't know where to streak," they recognized Liszt. ”

"Please be specific. ”

"The Liszt district that Liszt has built over the years, well, the only decent business district in Barton, has a relationship with businesses from all over the Federation. Quest smiled, not knowing what he wanted to mock again, "This year, I also brought the famous 'Kozil' of the Federation to Barton to make women's clothes, heh, you really have to admit that the people of the Liszt family are amazing......"

Oops~

"But now Liszt doesn't exist, does he. Quest looked at Zach, "Thank you, Yuri gave me these 'legacies' of Liszt." "It's a fact! It was Zach who suggested that Yuri arrange it in front of Quest at Mr. Pixar's son's funeral, and it doesn't matter if you don't remember, just know what Quest means at this point - thank you very much? No, it's not upset. Quest looked away again, "Let me tell you the truth, these awards have nothing to do with giving back to consumers, I'm just using this way of sending Barton's real consumers to them, telling those merchants in other places that the person they are working with now is not Liszt, not Yuri, it's me, it's Quest." ”

Zach looked at Quest with admiration for a while, "You can express information in this way, and you are also very good." ”

Quest snorted. He doesn't need Zach's praise.

And Zack's thoughts quickly got rid of the feeling of praise, "This also means that once people with a heart discover the significance of these awards, then all the activities of these Barton winners in the field can be easily obtained." ”

Quest tugged at the corners of his mouth, "It's easy? How can you tell it's easy? Did you get the bill I was paying? Or did you put a monitor on everyone who won the award?" ”

Zach was angry. Quest is still a door-picker, and it must have been some bill that made him want to strangle some of the winners.

But Zach doesn't care about Quest's resentment, Zach has already got what he needs. To be precise, Quest has all the information he can provide – no monitoring, no bills, no need to know where the winners from Barton have gone and what they have done, all that is needed is a map of the business relationships of the Lister Group throughout the Federation.

And we know that the Liszt Group is a magic feast.

Craig's guess may be true. Roy Tsmich, who hated Zach, could wait for visitors from Barton as long as he had business ties with the Liszt Group...... Blast Zack at the polling place where Zach will definitely go. There are no variables here, and the whole incident is not at all an accident of going out and being hit by a car, or a private attack that is destined to occur at a fixed time.

"Thank you for your cooperation. Zach said goodbye to Quest, "I don't need to remind you anymore, this matter can't be made public." ”

Quest's face, after being gloomy, was a face that had been fed, "That's it?!"

"That's all. Zach nodded, "You can go." ”

"You're not going to tell me what happened to the people who blew themselves up in the city hall square?!"

"What else can I tell you?" Zach said, "He blew himself up, and the only difference the police know about his recent life is that he won the prize at Big Q Supermarket." Zach said again what he had said about 'invite' Quest.

Seeing that Quest was not about to leave, Zach shook his head helplessly, "Didn't you want to get out of here quickly just now, and now you have your wish." ”

This phrase did not help. Quest stared at Zach, "I want to leave because I don't believe you! I don't believe Barton has another attack like this......" That's true, don't forget that under Zack's weaving, all the vicious incidents that have happened in Barton in the past year are attacks on the city from the outside world. "The police's choice is to cover it up! I don't believe that the investigation of this kind of incident will fall on people like you! I don't believe that you called me here just for a list!"

Zach looked at Quest for a moment, "Actually, I really don't care if you believe me or not. But if you don't believe me and still come reluctantly, then you should go to the evidence yourself that I don't deserve to trust, and it is more useful to confront me with those things than to yell here. ”

Zach, it doesn't look like he's going to show mercy. Pretty mean.

Quest was fed a mouthful of, stood up, glared at Zack one last time, turned and stepped out of the office.

Zach waited deliberately for a while, and then began to dial the number, this list was definitely going to be handed over to the police station to check. Based on the current information, it is speculated that these people may be dangerous elements who will turn into a blood mist in the crowd at any time. However, hehe, Zack's first call was not to the police department, but to Sbella.

The police can't do anything about Banlin, who will have an inflated soul, and this matter requires the cooperation of the people on Sbella's side.

If the police are useless, why should they be notified? It's just that the citizens of Patton believe in the morality of the maintainers of social order? Of course not. Zach needs Craig's guess to be confirmed, he doesn't have enough information from Quest here, and he needs someone from the Devil's Banquet to confirm that Roy Tsmich is really the mastermind. Therefore, Darcy of the police station is indispensable.

Two phone ...... Let's not talk about the repetitive content, let's talk about the final response of the two -

Sbella listened to Zach the whole time, answered "got it" and hung up. Darcy at the police station was, "*! If this is true, Roy Tsmich is not only contacting the Northland to get a way to expand his soul, but he is also taking revenge on you in this way, I, I don't know what Tsmich will do...... This matter is too serious, I need to report back to the west to confirm! I will contact you immediately if there is a response!"

After the phone call, today, it is clear that Zach is on the agenda to send Evan to his halfway house 'graduation' hearing. By the wayside, at the Yuri Hotel.

Strange, no, the halfway house is the project that Aethera made, the place she chose.

The original intention was to create a buffer between the prison and the world. To put it in the abstract, it is to make an adaptation between the most cold, monolithic social system and the most complex and ambiguous social emotions. At least so that the people in the prison are not completely lost after leaving the prison gates.

Isn't it a little strange that the halfway house made with such a theme will return to the building of the cold and hard system that represents the society in the closing process~

Scold. There is another explanation that may be more factual - Aethra did not expect Grande to send someone out so soon...... Probably no one thought that Grande would send anyone out, and the supporting process had not yet been planned, so a place was temporarily booked with the public funds of the project. Of course, this kind of malicious slander should be thought about in our own hearts, and not to say it.

It's time to send Evan there, and there's still a little bit before Zach prepares to see if Evan is ready.

Getting up and sitting down again, Zach began to dial.

Considering that the biggest reason to let Evan go is because of Fat Joe. And Evan made it clear that he would never go to Joe after leaving Grande, and Zach also said that he had no right to care where Evan went after that. That, here in Zach, it can be regarded as doing his best, depending on the destiny of heaven. Zach was going to call Joe and inform Joe of the time and place of Evan's hearing, so that at least the two could meet each other. That's all right.

The phone went through.

"Hey Joe. Zach used a smiling tone, "Evan's matter, there will be a result today, do you want to see it." We will ...... at Yuri Hotel in an hour"

"Are you?" said an unfamiliar voice.

Zach was stunned for a moment, he was sure he hadn't made the wrong call, and then continued to laugh, "Let Joe answer the phone." "Zach was calling Joe's bar, and Zach was answering the phone from an enthusiastic customer. Ha, in the special case of Joe's bar, eighty percent is a police officer.

Zach guessed right, the other party was a police officer, just-

"Joe is dead. ”

"Oh. Excuse me. "Zach hangs.

Why is Zach just hanging like that?

As soon as you leave the house, you see a person flying past you and crashing into the road amid the sound of metal and human body, and then rolling and dragging red blood on the road. What will you do?

By the way, you'll wish you hadn't gone out.

Biological instincts.
