13 Funeral
Blake is coming to Grande. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Quite surprising to be honest. It's not surprising that this guy will come to Grande, and when he returns to Barton, he should always thank Grande for helping him take care of Jackson, and if he has some ideas about Barton's future, he will come to Grande to make up for what happened when he left, after all, only Grande has the core view of everything - everything is 'made' by Grande, isn't it. But shouldn't it be a working day now, and the mayor's PR doesn't have to work?
"Where's Zack?" Blake asked, wandering around the backyard.
"Shhhh β
"Uh, what's going on?"
"Not dead, not coming back, that's all you need to know. Mo used a summary that was easy to misunderstand, "Don't mention it." "Give Blake to Louise, who came over.
"Zach is missing. Louise was more objective, but she still couldn't hold back her eyes, "It's true this time." Benjamin is gone again, plus a bunch of things going on, and I'm in a bad mood. He gestured to the back porch and the office on the second floor, and watched Blake choose his own place.
Office. Blake pursed his lips and quickly assessed that he probably wouldn't be able to help, and followed Mo's advice and kept quiet.
Upon entering Grande's office, Blake was still surprisedβSem fell asleep on his desk full of papers.
"Don't worry. Louise sat down behind her desk and watched Blake sit down as well, "Is there anything wrong with Anthony?"
"Oh, it's not the mayor who has the matter. Blake pursed his lips, "I'm here, Eh......" A small hesitation, accompanied by a fluttering look, "Rest." β
"Oh. Louise raised an eyebrow - Blake had been on a business trip as the mayor of Newton, and now that he was back, there was nothing in the newspapers about Newton these days. Did the city government feel the need to tell the citizens of Barton about their neighbors? Who knows, Blake said he was resting, that is, resting, "So, is there something wrong with you?"
Louise looked around Blake's body for a moment, and there was no sign of Jackson at all. Did this guy send Jackson away again?
Blake noticed Louise's gaze, "Jackson didn't follow me, he's, well......" seemed to be considering the word, "Accompany, friend." β
Louise's immediate reaction was, "I'm sorry. "Jackson's necromantic friend, that must not be alive," "Who is it?"
"Mr. Pixar's son. β
"Pixar?" Grande has a habit of watching the evening news? Louise glanced at the newspaper on the table, Old Hank was not there, he went to get it in the morning, flipped through it, and there was a vicious brawl near Pixar's department store......
Blake didn't bother Louise to read the report. Instead, he turned back to the woke Sam and nodded his head to apologize for the interruption, polite guy.
Sem wiped the wetness from his mouth and ignored it.
"There's no mention of the Pixar family here. Louise only glanced at the synopsis, "It's a clash between Quest's construction team and Becky's people. β
"I didn't mention it. Blake looked down, his body tense, "But Mr. Pixar, wounded, his son, is dead." The only person injured in the incident. β
Louise glanced at Blake, frowned, and began to read the report carefully.
"Detective Reims and his new partner are in charge of the case. Blake interjected as Louise read.
"Wes. Louise just subconsciously added her name.
"I know who he is, Jason has said it many times. Blake didn't want to mention it, so he tilted his head and unexpectedly digressed, "What about Mr. Hank?"
"Uh, out of the house. Louise was getting a little irritated again.
Blake was too keen to mention it.
After a moment of silence, Blake spoke again, "Mr. Pixar should have called Grande before, did you get it?"
Louise froze for a moment, "That is Mr. Pixar's number?" The strange and short-lived phone call, "he hung up without saying anything." "The report also saw the end, mentioning that there were casualties in the brawl, but the identity was not written.
"Oh. Blake nodded, then shook his head again, and actually raised his hand to press the phone on the desk, "Is that okay?"
Naturally, there were doubts, but Louise allowed it, "You please." β
Blake moved quickly, grabbed the microphone and began dialing.
In this small gap, Louise glanced at Sem, "I haven't finished the car for Arthur to travel, you go and continue." This is what Louise was doing when Blake came. Sam was also quite conscious, nodded and left the office, not cleaning up the scattered research on the desk, that is, he would come back and continue.
"Uncle Pixar. Blake's title was close, "It's me, Blake." β
On the other side of the receiver was the unfamiliar voice on the phone before.
Blake glanced at Louise and continued to speak into the earpiece, "I'm here with Grande right now, Toby's funeral ......" Toby, it should be that 'dead', Jackson's friend, "I entrusted Grande for you......"
Interrupted by the earpiece, Blake followed suit, making people scratch their heads with a firmness, "Just push it off, Grande is the best, don't look for Ford's funeral home." β
Louise was watching Blake's every expression. At the moment, there is no harvest.
"Nope. Something was said on the other side of the earpiece, and Louise heard it clearly, but halfway through the other party's words, Blake directly and firmly refused, "Uncle Pixar, I know you won't ask for a burial place at Ford's funeral home, you can't afford it." β
Louise opened her mouth, too surprised by Blake...... Direct?
Blake was still saying, "Uncle, our family funerals in the West End are all held at the Grand Funeral Home, and they are all traditional burials. You shouldn't be thinking about anything else at this time, I'm already here......"
"Pixar isn't a West Side family for a long time...... - the receiver calmly interrupted.
The phone call was a constant interruption. Blake glanced at Louise: "I don't care, I'm already talking to Grande, you can talk to the person in charge of the Ford Funeral Home to see if they will grab the funeral with Grande." "Looking at Louise, it is probably that he himself pushed Grande on the side of the 'bullying'.
Louise pursed her lips and didn't speak. Questions will be answered sooner or later, and there is no hurry for this moment.
There didn't seem to be much to say on the earpiece, and after a moment of silence, "It doesn't matter, it's up to you." "Hung up.
Blake put down the earpiece.
"Do you want to explain?" Louise let go of the newspaper that had no intelligence value, and looked at Blake.
"Toby Pixar, he's still a groundbinder. Blake began to explain.
This sentence alone can already explain something.
Louise tilted her head after a moment's thought, "The Pixar family are followers of the Holy Lord Faith?"
Everyone has not forgotten the distribution of the souls of the deceased of Barton.
Those who have no faith will naturally be dragged to hell by the hellhounds of the fallen angels as soon as they hang up. Oh, by the way, the fallen angel expressed his sincerity to the saint Sissi, not to touch any soul who has the possibility of going to heaven, and to let the earthbound spirits usher in the judgment of faith and belong normally.
The vicious brawl at Pixar happened last night, and now Jackson, who can still maintain the state of the ground-bound spirit, has a chance to accompany him, and this is the only possibility.
"Very devout believers. Blake bowed his head, "That's why the Pixar family is lonely." Still shaking his head, "When our West End family controlled Barton's darkest side, the Pixar family. Blake looked up and gave Louise a look that didn't need to continue, and sighed, "When Liszt rose, our adults in the West End ...... "Yes, that's when Blake was probably still a baby," A joint decision was made to abandon the Betch District, which the Pixar family had worked hard to run at the time (Liszt went up, and the Becky District fell), Smith backed down in front of Yuri (Liszt's construction also pulled up Yuri Building Materials), and Falken let Becky's forces go, and then let Becky become what he is now (Falken has always been the source of Barton's gang, Aix in the southeast). β
If we combine it with the history of Barton's development that we know, it is easy to understand these words.
Louise didn't follow Blake through Barton's history, focusing on her own questions, "So, are you buying time for Toby Pixar? You don't want Mr. Pixar to be cremated in another funeral home?"
The judgment of the attribution of faith, but no one knows when it will come, remember old Mr. Ganard, the belonging of heaven is determined, and there is still the nostalgia of the inkblot in this world.
Blake nodded, "I'm sorry. This apology came inexplicably, glancing at the newspaper, "In the past two days, the high-end funeral of the Republicans at Allen's funeral home on Sunday has also been flying all over the sky. With some disgust and puzzled on his face, he looked at Louise, "Is that a republican, uh, culture, or is that what the so-called 'high-end' looks like......? Well, I don't remember who at Barton had chartered that place, this was the first time, not even for the higher-ups of our city. That's a bit too big. β
The most recent one? Herman's luncheon. But it wasn't a charter, it was a social gathering of Barton's top executives.
Louise's expression was a little speechless, there was a lot involved in this matter, there was Mo deliberately malicious towards the Republicans when arranging the funeral, there was the purpose of the Eight of the Demon Banquet to confirm Allen's purpose of poaching employees, and there was also a small waste of Fisher's full investment...... Finally, Benjamin and Mokawi joined in the, this one has a chance to say.
All Louise can explain now is, "This is a special case. "Pouting," probably as the first case after the implementation of the funeral home's shared cemetery contract, it is somewhat unsuitable, and there is no need to use this as a standard. Shaking his head, he didn't want to dwell on the subject, "You just said that Pixar can't afford such a funeral? β
Blake also frowned, "I'm just saying that, in fact, I don't know the Pixar family's finances, but, sell their only business, Pixar?" Blake sighed, "I don't think Mr. Pixar has the financial resources to replicate that 'high-end funeral'." Also, I don't think Mr. Pixar wants to 'feast' anyone. β
Sure enough, the funeral of the Republicans was terrible as the first case, and the banquet at Yuri's Hotel was too incomprehensible to the Confederalists.
Blake squeezed his face and thought about his words, "I don't think Mr. Pixar would be willing to gather a bunch of people to do anything on the grounds that he lost his son. The former West Ender, us, and his friends now, if any. Blake waved his hand, "If I hadn't come, he'd probably cremate Toby quietly, finish the funeral while everyone was unresponsive, and disappear." β
"No, it won't. Louise was just a reasonable guess, "You just said that Lance and Wes are handling the case, at least the police won't release the ...... so soon"
"It's been released. Blake interrupted, "Is Toby's groundbinder following the corpse, or did Jackson and I go out to find Jason...... "Momentary Soft-mouthed" to play, "If anyone is curious about the reason for Blake's soft mouth, you can remind you to pay attention to the 'attributes' of Blake, Jason, and Wes, and Blake's constant avoidance of Tives," Jackson followed Detective Lance to the police station, and the autopsy was very fast, and it was determined that he was caught in a brawl and trampled, and a teenager of Jackson's age had no chance in that situation. Blake took a deep breath, "Jackson also saw Toby's death reappear, confirming police judgment. "Then Blake's gaze began to lose focus, and after adjusting his mood," Jackson had seen the police and Mr. Pixar's exchange. His face was a little gloomy, "It was Mr. Pixar himself who gave up any responsibility, and the case was over, and the body was returned to Mr. Pixar, and then, I came here." β
Blake's last words have something to be concerned about.
Louise frowned, trying to sort it out, "It was reported that Quest, who bought the department store, wanted to blame the inaction of the nearby Smith and Quinn shelters. You just said that Mr. Pixar probably didn't want to invite anyone to the funeral. Is that why Mr. Pixar has given up on accountability?
Blake sighed and didn't speak, that was acquiescence.
Louise nodded, even if it was for the heavenly belonging of a soul, this funeral would have to be followed, "But I still need relatives to discuss the details of the funeral with me in person." Louise looked at Blake, "You really don't have the authority to act for this kind of thing." β
"Do you have time?" Blake nodded, "can you come with me to Mr. Pixar to talk about this?" If you go, he will have nothing to refuse. β
Louise glanced at the time, "I have, it's going to be noon soon, and I'm going to Betsy too." "Arthur. There's no need to waste time, "Have you looked for Sissi, Angel Camille might be willing to take care of Toby Pixar......"
What should I say about this......
Jackson, he's a hell of a necromancer. Toby, people are devout believers, the kind of people who want to go to heaven...... Let's see for yourself.
