On the way back to the Southside, Zach kept thinking about how he said the words 'Toledo died at Barton', and always felt that there was something missing in his thinking logic, but he wanted to say the result first...... Well, anyway, Zach was slow to return, relying on normal human walking to drag out time, hoping that he would be able to come up with a clearer idea when he arrived at the Southern Police Station. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

But when Zach was already standing at the door of the Southern District Police Station, his mind was still a mess. Glancing at James's car parked at the door, Zach shook his head, forget it, don't think about it, Zach stepped into the police station.

Ideally, someone would come over and answer Zach at first sight. Don't be so idealistic, Zach is not everyone's favorite flower.

"Who's coming?" the guy in the police uniform lifted his chin at Zack.

Zach glanced inside, and saw none of the people he expected to see, "Report the crime." ”

"Report the crime?" the officer at the reception looked at Zack again, oh, he had already looked at Zack when he came in - no injuries, no emotion, who to ask after the first judgment, "Fill out a form." "I guess it's not a case with a big impact, otherwise it wouldn't be so calm, so I handed a watch to Zack.

Zach answered, a little speechless, "Actually, I'm looking for someone." ”

"Oh. The officer looked at Zach again, his eyes blinking as if he was thinking. Got the form back from Zack's hand, "Who are you looking for?"

James? Zach knew he had said 'There's a Toledo dead,' and James would just applaud. Wes?...... No. Wes was too accepting of the alien to realize the significance of having a Torredo die at Barton. That's only, "Couson Police ......"

"Wait a minute!" was interrupted, "I think I know who you are! You're Zachary Grande, aren't you! The owner of the funeral home is right!"

"I am. Zach had to nod politely, not expecting what the guy would say later.

"Ha! I know! We have this kind of ...... in the Southern District" It's very rude, a finger shook up and down in front of Zack's body, trying to describe Zack's clothes, probably didn't think of the right words for a while, "Style! Hehe, you are a celebrity in the Southern District~ Our director was interviewed some time ago and apologized like you......"

This guy is so unjust. Hasn't Zach been a celebrity on the Southern Side for a long time? In the South End, an uncared about place, only Grande can make frequent news. It's not just because of the public apology to Grande from the Southern District Police Department some time ago.

However, since this officer specifically mentioned this matter, Zach can foresee that this guy completely ignores the person he just said he was looking for-

The officer recognized Zach and ran away, winking at Zack for no apparent reason, and went straight to the innermost office of the police station, knocking on the door, "Mr. Grande is here! Mr. Grande from the funeral home!"

Zach really didn't want to speak. Quietly watching the office door being pushed open, the director of Cologne glanced at Zack, and hooked two fingers, which was an invitation.

It doesn't matter, so can the director of Cologne. Zach walked to the office, ignoring the smiling police officer next to him. Some people just don't need to pay attention to the pain of idle eggs.

At the Southern District Police Station, Zack is not the first time to come, but Zack is the first time to enter the chief's office. The office of the commissioner of the North District Police Department, Zach had the privilege of entering with Darcy's tacit approval. The comparison made Zach a little regretful, and after looking at Cologne before taking his seat, he turned his gaze to Cologne, "I'm here to find Detective Cousson, I may have information about the self-detonation case." ”

Zach could sense the atmosphere that Cologne didn't want to be disturbed if it weren't for the boring police officers making their own decisions - when Zach entered the office, Cologne picked up the receiver and said "Wait a minute" and hung up. Apparently Zach's entry interrupted something. Nazak might as well say his purpose directly.

But Cologne didn't seem to be in a hurry, and keenly grasped the question in Zack's words: "Looking for Cousen? Isn't it Lance." ”

Zach is smart enough, "Detective Cousson is not in charge of this joint investigation, so why waste time passing on information." ”

"Yes. Cologne didn't observe Zach's expression, looked at the document in front of him, and nodded, "You have a point." "I didn't mean to help Zach inform Corson at all.

Zach had already sensed where the Corson gang was, and upstairs, three detectives and a gang of officers were messing around cleaning the room.

Zack adjusted his sitting position, on this occasion, he didn't seem to be able to stand up and walk away directly, tentatively, "Of course, I told the director the information and you are the same." ”

"No, I don't. Cologne is also logical enough, "I still have to convey it to Cousson, wasting time." That being said, he still had no tendency to come to Curson.

This made Zach a little confused, pursed his lips, and looked at the document that Director Cologne was reading, which was quite familiar, it was the confession of an eyewitness from the North District Police Department that James brought home yesterday. More specifically, the director of Cologne looked at the testimony of the 'clown' (doctor, Cologne's brother-in-law).

Anyway, Zach didn't know what to do, so he casually guessed and tempted, "He was just unlucky to encounter this kind of thing." ”

Cologne looked up at Zach, "You said it was bad luck to see a guy blow himself up in front of him. ”

"Or lucky?" Zach was talking nonsense about what Cologne would react to, a very inefficient communication technique, "and he wasn't the one who blew himself up." Witnesses are luckier than being parties themselves. ”

"Hmph. It's simple, Cologne reacted, not hiding his disgust at all, "I wish it was him." ”

If you look back at the events of the first part of the story, you can remember that Cologne did not like this brother-in-law. But still, that's a little too blunt......

"Liars. "He always told my sister that he was working overtime, and that he had to stay in the hospital, tsk, and save lives." Hmph, as a result, he's attending such a boring rally! He can lie about such a ridiculous thing, and who knows what lies he is telling!"

Well, for that reason, let's agree with Cologne's disgust for the time being. Zach nodded slightly, implicitly showing his support for Cologne's words. But as if there was little room for the topic to continue, Zach needed to keep talking nonsense in order to test the ......

"Who are you. Cologne's mood changed unusually quickly, and after saying something as if he was asking a question, he lowered his head again and looked at the document.

"Huh?" Zach pretended not to understand, "What did you say?"

"I ask you, who the hell are you. Cologne asked himself very intimately, "What are you from, what is your special identity?" And, what secrets do you have? ”

There was no room to fit, and Zach could only look at Cologne who didn't look at him sincerely, "I don't understand your question." ”

"If I were still the chief of the North District Police Department, I would not give you privileged access to eyewitnesses. Cologne began to explain his problem, "You're just an informant, and you have to admit it, an informant with a lot of resources. But, an informant is an informant, you are not a law enforcer. So what is the reason that Darcy, who is in that position, allows you to reach out to those witnesses? A quick glance at Zach, this is for the look, "Can you answer me?" ”

Cologne didn't see anything, and Zach was calm.

Before Zach answers, I can give you the answer to this question from Cologne-

Simple, Zack's status in the Feast is much higher than Darcy's.

Next, listen to Zach's answer to Cologne: "In the west, the Reims family is much stronger than Darcy. ”

You can clearly feel the momentary stagnation of Cologne, and the recovery is very fast. He nodded, "So my guesses have always been right, and a lot of things, including Darcy's parachuting and my relegation to the Southside, are all because of James Lance. ”

Is there a problem with Cologne's logic? Zach simply replaced the Devil's Feast and the Lance family. Cologne doesn't need to know such things as magic feasts and alien races, a completely reasonable Lance family that is cultivating the children of the family is enough.

After nodding, he shook his head and looked at Zack, as if laughing at himself, "If I didn't openly say that I don't like James Lance, I would still be in the North Police Department, right?" ”

At this time, it is enough to follow the skill, anyway, the logic has been rationalized by Cologne itself, and Zach only needs to add some bricks, "Probably not." Zach said in a relaxed, sincere tone, "You need to be like Darcy, well, good enough." You can't be angry at James for ignoring your orders, and you have to listen to James' orders once in a while. Can you do that?"

"Huh. No way. Cologne smiled and looked down at the papers.

So, Zach should have escaped......

"So who the hell are you. Cologne hadn't even given up on his question, "Now I can see it more clearly - the first case of James Lance to Barton, the case of the X female mutilation, you appeared." Tilting his head, he still retained a little smile from before, but it was a little cold, "How long have you been in Barton, almost 11 years?" What you wrote on your file is from your father, right? It turned into a sneer, "You've been waiting 10 years for James Lance to appear, hehe." The Reims family, General Reims. ”

Zach is starting to be a little cautious. Obviously, Cologne is not a character that can be easily dealt with, maybe it's a professional relationship, this guy probably won't let go of any details, so, "What do you think I am?"

The policy has been set, and that is to use the logic of the other party to persuade the other party. Therefore, Zach needs the other party to give himself clues. I understand.

"You have medical experience. "Well, sure enough, without giving up any details, Cologne is still holding on to Zach, "but not on your file." Cologne glanced at Zach, "You explained, I reserve my opinion. And then on file you are a merchant, hehe, according to what you said, in that time of war, everything was not fixed. Your brother Benjamin is a soldier. ”

Zach wasn't prepared to respond to any information that was already on the table, just nodded, signaling that Cologne was free to continue.

"Ike. Cologne said the name.

Zach didn't show any emotion.

"Before Ike died. "Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief, Cologne didn't know that his former comrades-in-arms were now staying by the angel's side as a container," vague ...... "Cologne's mood is a little unstable, which is understandable, after all, Ike is 'dead' in front of him," When telling me what he had fallen to this point, he mentioned General Reims's business in the west. (Ike had revealed to James that James's father, General Lance, was treason and smuggled in the Northland.) ）

Zack's brain was already spinning with Cologne's words - Ike had used his dying body to come to Barton to find Zack!

The whole patchwork of clues seems to be going in a direction that is going against Zach.

Hidden professional skills, a businessman whose whereabouts are not fixed, and his younger brother is a soldier. General Lance, smuggling. Let's do it ourselves.

Sure enough, Cologne seemed to have given up looking at the document in front of him, closed it, and looked at Zach seriously, "Ike is here to find you, and you denied knowing him in front of me." Now I'll ask you again, do you still insist that you don't know Ike? ”

Zach replied, "I insist." He's dead and doesn't exist, so I'm sticking to my original claim. "I'll put the typical 'words' here, whatever you want. Looking back, isn't that what Zach was doing at this time?

Cologne nodded, "Good answer, he's dead." Then he looked Zach up and down with an indescribable look, "If I knew each other a little better, wouldn't it be time for me to consciously stop asking you questions?"

"Yes. "But it seems, you're not going to stop." ”

Cologne nodded as if relieved, but, "That's all for this time, I'll ...... when I have more to ask" Needless to say, this is a 'date' that Zakzak will have to face at some point in the future.

Cologne picked up the phone, "Corson, right. "It's to reconfirm to Zach who Zach is looking for.

"Yes. ”

Cologne pressed the number and looked at Zach as he waited, "I'm not going to die one day." It's so straightforward, and it's impossible to evaluate it for a while.

"No, it won't. "It's the kind of situation where you only have one answer.

Upstairs was a bit of a mess, and Zach could hear the sound of tidying up, and the bell was unnoticed by anyone. The phone would not be picked up for a moment, and Cologne spoke again.

This guy is also not sincere at all, and now he spares Zach - "I will not suddenly change my temperament one day, like Ripett (No), who avoids certain things for no reason." ”

Zach frowned.

Somewhere in this story, there is an informant who tells everyone that Cologne, who was also the head of the North District, has the movement of the gray professional circle.

"That's a personal question between me and No. Zach doesn't have any logic that can convince the other party on this issue, it's a simple interracial-human contradiction, and Zach can't strip away the alien part and come up with any brainwashing remarks to excuse himself.

And Cologne's cunning in this way in this gap is obviously what he himself has just said, and there is no information that can be played. It's just scamming Zack.

So, you have to get out.

Zach stood up, "Where is Detective Cousson, I'll go myself." ”

Cologne hesitated, but put down the phone, "Personal question." "Still trying.

Zach duly showed boredom, "yes, personal question. "It is used to contrast with the previous calm, to distinguish between public and private.

Can you understand, no matter what kind of 'role' Cologne has taken Zach, Zach faces it calmly, this is the public, Zach does not deny or argue. But when it comes to the problem of Nuo, it is private. Two states of mind deal with two things, and Zach has done it.

It worked.

Cologne nodded and pointed upstairs, "The second archive room on the left." They were clearing the room and serving as an office for the joint investigation. ”

Zach still took care of the etiquette, just didn't get too impatient, nodded and left the office.

Let's be succinct, and Zach doesn't intend to say anything more in James' presence-

"Detective Cousson, didn't you say you were worried about the 'General', you were right, one of his men died, it may be related to this case. ”
