Who knows how James's childish brain worked, and he followed Zach. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's good, Zach needs a driver, and while he's struggling with Mr. Pixar, James can bother Eric with that question.

I haven't been to the Church of the Holy Child for a while, on the one hand, Mike is not here, there is no desire to come, and on the other hand, the funeral work during this period has not fallen into the hands of Zack, and there is no need to come. After such a long absence, the Church of the Holy Child seems to have changed......

It was a strange feeling, at least as far as Zach could see, the benches, the windows, the altars, the statues...... It's no different from the Church of the Holy Child in my memory, but there is a feeling that something has changed, for the better.

Since James went directly to Eric, Zach couldn't ask what the change was, so he could only walk to Mr. Pixar, who was sitting in front of the altar.

"Blake. Zach first looked at the person who accompanied Mr. Pixar, "Can Pixar and I ......" and raised his hand to signal that Blake would leave and give space to the person who was talking.

Blake was conscious, stood up, and raised an eyebrow at Zack before leaving.

Zach knew what Blake wanted to ask, and replied in vague language that Blake could understand, "Mr. Pixar's son's body is well preserved, nothing happened yesterday." ”

This means that the groundbound spirits have not yet received their belongings.

Blake nodded and left.

Pixar glanced at Zach, then Zach's vague words, "Are you Grande going to give my son some funny makeup?" "Said the remains of tidying up.

"No, but I do have a list of things to wear to make your son look at the farewell ceremony more, well, 'show' some, at least not yesterday's hospital gown at the Ford funeral home. If you weren't here, you should have received my fax at home by now. ”

Pixar retracted his gaze, "He doesn't like formal wear, he likes simple hoods, clothes that are comfortable and easy to put on." ”

"Yes. Zach sat down next to Pixar, "You're here anyway, do you have any specific requirements for the funeral?" ”

Pixar replied, "Quest wants me to testify." ”

Zach didn't fix the subject, and listened quietly to Pixar.

"He's preparing to sue the Quin and Smith shelters. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, Quest was dying.

He said he had evidence that the brawl was due to the shelter's retaliation for clearing out the homeless man who had been in the basement of Pixar. ”

Zach was a little overwhelmed, "I thought the brawl was because his renovation blocked the road and caused dissatisfaction among the civilians. And then. Zach tilted his head, "He wanted to blame the shelter's security for not helping him suppress the brawl." ”

Pixar looked at the statue of the Son, "Yes, now he's taken a step forward and decided to investigate why the shelter didn't help." ”

"It's ridiculous. Zach shook his head, "The security of the shelter isn't there to protect his property. ”

"Everybody knows the truth, but Quest is going to do it, who can do it. Moreover, he also has a rational motivation logic. Pixar took a deep breath, "The homeless shelter in the basement of Pixar's department store was originally provided by me to the shelter free of charge, and my dealings with him did not include an obligation to maintain this charitable project. Glancing at Zach, "You probably don't know that the first time he cleaned up the homeless had a conflict was when Harrison, the director of the shelter, contacted Mary's Chapel urgently to transfer some of the homeless people who lived there." ”

Since Pixar had said that Zach 'probably didn't know,' Zach went along with it, "I really don't know." "I remember visiting you the last time I donated the asylum, and the place is quite large, can Mary's Chapel accommodate such a newly assigned homeless person?"

"Can't accommodate it. Pixar shook his head, "I heard that Mary's Church has completely opened its abandoned learning house, but I still can't be satisfied. ”

Zach had a small question here, and he didn't want to interrupt Pixar's temporary hiding, so he had a chance to ask again. But Zach naturally didn't want to interrupt Pixar, listening to Pixar's opening, he suddenly said this, obviously with a purpose.

"Do you know why my son and I were in the place where it had been sold on the night of the fight?"

Zach didn't know, and shook his head honestly.

"Because Quest's construction team is evicting the wanderers who still live there, the wanderers ignore it, their place has changed hands, and they only catch the warm beds I promised them to have for cold nights. ”

Zach could already guess where things were going, "So, Quest found you?"

"Yes. Pixar didn't have a clear expression, and his voice was calm, "Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with Quest asking me to deal with it, after all, it's a business deal, and it's up to me to deal with these things." So I went. But by the time I got there, things had gone from the worse. ”

"The construction team has clashed with civilians?"

"Not yet. I don't know who started it, but the construction team began to put the original containment facilities in the basement, beds, medical equipment, and supplies...... Throw it off the street. Pixar shook his head, "I'm guessing the Quest people are just sending a clear message to the wanderers that there's no more of your home here, and that they should find another place to sleep." He didn't do anything wrong, at least not illegally, Pixar was his property, and he cleaned up the garbage he didn't want, and rightfully so. But the way he did it was ...... Pixar's voice faded out of its own voice.

Zach imagined the scene for a moment, and quickly figured it out, "What the Quest people threw down the street, actually the shelter, as a supply for the homeless shelter that you used to help the shelter provide. ”

"Yes. Some of the beds, medical containers, 'garbage', and many of them also bear the Quinn and Smith logos. Pixar remained calm, "smashed and discarded in the streets." It seems that when Pixar released a message to the homeless, he also casually threw a message to Quinn and Smith next to him. ”

Zach had already understood, "Then, naturally, the piled up of 'garbage' annoyed the people of Becky, and the conflict began, and the shelter remained on the sidelines. ”

Pixar nodded, "That's how things happen, but when the clues are laid out one by one, no one knows what really leads things to the outcome." Hum. "Whether it's simply the people who are dissatisfied with the garbage blocking the road, or the shelter is dissatisfied with the information of 'garbage', no one is sure." ”

"Haven't the police already made their judgment? Zach said nonsense.

"That's why Quest has to go the road of prosecution, and the court will review all the clues and make a new judgment. ”

"What does Quest want you to testify?" Zach asked.

"When his people started throwing things out, I had a premonition that things wouldn't end well, and I went to the shelter where Harrison was only there at the time, hoping that the shelter would come out and mediate for a while, after all, it was the homeless who caused the problem in the first place. Pixar shook his head again, "But when you have the title of 'director' and still have to report something to the people above, things can get extremely dragged on." ”

"So this Harrison director didn't help in the slightest as things started to get worse, and he was just contacting Quinn or Smith for instructions?"

Pixar nodded, "He wants me to prove in court that the shelter is capable of stepping in and containing the situation before it gets completely out of control." Not only does it have this ability, but it also has this obligation, as long as at that time, the shelter accepts the original wanderers who contradict the original - the shelter accepts the homeless, and it is only right. And then nothing will happen, and it is better to provide this part of the testimony, which is the only father who has lost his son. Finally, look at Zach, "Guess what happens when his lawyer points out this fact in front of the jury." ”

Zach wasn't stupid, "Quest is already half the win." "Halfway, Zach gave humanity confidence that the other half of the jury would have held that if Quest had a little love, he shouldn't have evicted the wanderer on a winter night in the first place.

Pixar's gaze stayed on Zach, unable to tell what he felt. I could only feel from his expression that he didn't hate Zach as a person. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said so much, and I deliberately told Zack everything about the brawl.

Now, the only question is why he said this to Zach.

Zach spoke, "Don't keep looking at me, I'll be shy." ”

It's a joke. The effect was also quite good, and Pixar had a slight smile on his face, although it wasn't very obvious, "I don't want to testify." Turning his gaze back to the statue of the Holy Son, he said something inexplicable, "Do you know that the Holy Son sacrificed himself for the salvation of all?" ”

Remember Pixar was a believer?

"I kind of know what that story looks like. Zach also glanced at the statue of the Holy Son, although we all know how false the vampire is now, but Zach said these lies unexpectedly did not feel uncomfortable, because it was harmless, "Are you trying to say that you don't want to testify, because you don't want this thing to continue to develop and end here, so as not to implicate everyone in the ordeal?"

"Sort of. Pixar took a deep breath, "You just asked me what I wanted for the funeral, right?" ”

"Yes. ”

Pixar was quiet for a moment, "I'm going to invite Quinn, Smith, Harrison. ”

Zach was quick to respond, "If you're a witness to the asylum as a witness, you shouldn't be in contact with anyone at the asylum. It's legal common sense, "You're nullifying the possibility of being a witness." ”

Pixar didn't respond, and continued, "And I'm going to invite Quest too." ”

This is a bit difficult to explain, Zach frowned and thought for a moment before hesitatingly speaking, "You're creating an occasion." Even if he spoke, Zach still felt that the reason was far-fetched, "Create an opportunity for these two parties to come into contact, hoping that the conversation between the two will not take place in court." ”

Pixar's thinking seemed to be turning faster than Zach, "Do I need to pay you to invite these people?" "It's a mockery. Don't forget what Pixar said about Zach yesterday, he remembered and knew that Zach was a gray professional.

"No, I don't. Zach was amused, "I don't need to ask for this, I'll invite these people too." ”

Perhaps after the request was made, Pixar's tone immediately began to grow cold, "What the hell do you want to do? Who the hell are you working for? Blake? What commission did he give you? Well, I don't think he can entrust you with the city's salary. ”

You won't think that Poch is the first guy to be cut off from funding by the elders of the West End, Blake is the first!

Zach tilted his head, feeling like he was going to answer the question honestly, "Why are there so many homeless people at Barton lately?" without a hint of digression.

Well, there are omens, and it's just a question that Zack thought of and hid for the time being. I remember that Corson had said in the late fall that Barton's homeless people had disappeared, and it was naturally the reason why the asylum's efforts were showing results.

In other words, under the work of the shelter, the number of Barton homeless people should be getting smaller and smaller, at least not to the point that after the Pixar department store is sold, Mary's Chapel will not be able to accept the rest of the people.

But the reality is that Barton's wanderers have not decreased, but have increased.

No one can answer the sociological question of why there are more wanderers, only these people who are barely in touch with the living conditions of wanderers can give a clue or two, so Zach did not waste the resource of Pixar around him now.

"You're not going to say that's right. Pixar glanced at Zach, shook his head, and sighed, not wanting to speak again.

"You haven't answered my question yet. Why are there so many Patton's wanderers?" Zach asked again, 'please be sure to answer' tone.

"Tsk. Pixar shook his head a little irritably, "Didn't you read today's paper?" The reporter who wrote that you were a 'hypocrite' wrote another "Newton Documentary". "With a slight mockery," I doubted how realistic her account was, and that the subjective impression of the whole article ...... herself," she pursed her lips, "but forget it, if she hadn't written like that, the reader might not have felt how bad Newton is now." ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "You mean those wanderers came from Newton?"

"Otherwise, do you think Newton came to Barton only to find a job and buy a house? Pixar drew a cross on his chest against the statue of the Son, "A city is declining, a city is thriving." Lambs without shepherds can only flow from one place to another. He closed his eyes and prayed.

Zach was hesitating, genuinely hesitant to join Pixar's prayers......

Zack's eyes were round, I really didn't expect James to actually do it-

Eric, whose hands were handcuffed in front of him, was pushed out from behind by James.

"You have the right to be silent, you have ......" these things don't need to be repeated.

Zach and Pixar, who had opened their eyes, watched Eric being pushed past the statue of the Son by James, and neither of them spoke for a moment, and their eyes followed over the altar and towards the outside of the church.

"It happened, what. Pixar spoke.

"Oh, don't worry, he's not a funeral priest, Grande has a better priest. ”
