Without Riley's car, Zach pretended to walk out of the manor, and then ran back to Grande in a hurry. Say goodbye to our vampire with another outfit.

Zach had told Louise before, and the guests who had relayed his location were already waiting for Grande. To Zack's surprise, there was one more person—Cowson. All hanging out in the showroom. Leave it alone.

Zach didn't show up, went straight to the basement without any human notice, and without much effort, he hung the 'General' upside down, stuck a stake in his palm, forcibly bled him, and warned the 'General' that Curson was upstairs and told him to be honest.

Then he summoned the phantom Danny to watch, and when the blood jar was full, he sent it to Bishop Manor. In addition, Zach told Danny not to drive Grande's van, it was too obvious, just find a car to go.

After dealing with this, Zach secretly went back to the room, changed his clothes, and re-enacted the scene of going back to Grande, so that Detective Cousson walked around in the new exhibition hall of Grande, and just happened to see Zack coming back in the bright morning sun from the main entrance.

"Detective Cowson, would you like to go to the reception room and sit back?" suggested Louise with an unnatural look. She knew that James, Jason, and Wes would come, but all three of them knew Zack's identity and didn't need to hide anything. But Corson was a guy who didn't know anything, and Louise didn't want the detective, who seemed to be used to wandering around, to discover something he shouldn't have discovered.

Louise had already tried hard to signal to James, expecting him to cooperate. But James was completely unself-conscious, and instead casually commented on the Grande decoration with Curson. I don't know what the reason behind this behavior is.

"Detective Cousson. Zach stepped through the main entrance of Grande, smiling, "I'm surprised to see you at Grande." Then he glanced at James, "If I'm not mistaken, this must be the first time a detective has come to Grande, right?" Lois. Have you taken the detective on a tour? ”

Louise looked a little more relaxed, Zach came back and there was nothing to worry about, and smiled, "I'm really sorry, even I'm still adjusting to the current Grande, and I still have work to deal with." Louise lifted the papers in her hand. The arrangement of the group funeral, "how can I have time to take the guests to visit." James is helping me greet guests. ”

Louise's cleverness doesn't need to be emphasized.

Zach smiled, and his gaze naturally fell on James, "Then thank you for helping us entertain Grande's guests." "The implication is, 'Grande guest, not including Corson, how could he come.' Please explain. ’

James was unconscious, but Curson was very conscious, and smiled happily, "Ahaha! I'm coming!" Hehe, I'm fine in the bureau anyway, I see this guy ...... in the morning," patted James, "and what is secretly busy, curious." I just followed. Sure enough, this guy's relationship with you Grande. Hey. ”

"Then let's go to the office. It was explained, but Zach didn't understand it at all.

Isn't the Patton Police Department busy now because of things in the Southeast, how can Cousson have nothing to do? Bishop's case against the security company can be considered to be that the police department has to spare police resources to do things for Bishop when it is so busy. But now that it's done, the two of them should go back to the southeast to get busy.

Zach was suspicious that James himself had exposed something at the police station. was caught by his partner Corson. Discovering that James was working for Grande, Corson saw an opportunity to once again co-opt Grande, an important informant resource, and followed.

Zach's suspicions, right the second half, the first half. We know, Zach misunderstood Cowson. Coulson really has nothing to do, remember, as soon as James returned to the police station, the detective vented his stomach full of bitterness - Cousson, he was ostracized by everyone in the police station.

"Where are you going?!" James asked abruptly behind Zack as he led the way.

Zach turned around with some confusion and replied, "Lift, go to the office." ”

"I prefer the stairs. James seemed to realize his gaffe and frowned.

"That's fine. Zach smiled inwardly, stretched out his hand, and made a gesture of please, "You first." ”

"Huh. Curson didn't know what he was happy about, so he walked in front of him, "What are you two polite!" and stepped directly up the stairs on the east side of the exhibition hall against the wall, "Oh yes, Lance said that you just renovated it, and he said that this staircase is not there, and the exhibition hall is not so big." ”

"Yes. Zach stood on the side of the stairs, waiting for the guests to walk in front, and Jason and Wes looked at each other as they passed by, giving a 'it's okay, what should be discussed', "It was all done this morning, and you are the first visitors to New Grande." ”

"What a coincidence!" said Corson, still happy to himself, touching the armrest with his palm, "I'm glad I came with my face! ”

Corson wanted to make small talk, and Zach accompanied him, "Hehe, it didn't cost anything." James knows the reason (lift insurance), this story, let him tell you it. ”

"I've decided, I'm going to call you James in the future, 'Detective Lance', you're going to have to give it a lot!"

"Be professional!" James pushed back at Cowson, the corners of his eyes twitching, "He likes to be called by names, so he also likes to call other people's names, that's his bad habit, don't learn it!"

"Huh. Curson smiled and waved his hand, "Say whatever you want." Oh, when you get back, you're going to tell me the story of how you don't have to spend money on renovations. Curson turned his head and winked at Zack, "I can learn this." ”

Zach watched from behind, in a good mood.

Entering the office, an awkward question arises. The Grande office does not have a multi-person visit function, and there are not enough chairs.

Zach smiled and asked the guests to wait, and walked out of the office through the other side door, and saw Alice in the hallway in a daze with a dinner plate, "Alice, what are you doing?"

"Oh no, nothing, bring breakfast to Brian. ”

Zach frowned. "He hasn't been willing to come out? ”

"Yes. ”

Zach waved his hand, too lazy to care, "Move two chairs in." ”

"Oh. ”

When all the guests in the office sat down, Zach looked at the four people in the row opposite, and suddenly felt a little funny, "Let's get down to business." ”

"Yes!" Cousson moved. He was squeezed to the very edge, about to go beyond the scope of the desk, and at this time silently squeezed into the middle, so that the corners of James's eyes on his side twitched, "......Talking about business!

Obviously, James didn't reveal anything to Cowson, and the initiative was still in Zucker's hands.

"Fire. Zach smiled and answered, "What? James didn't mention it to you." ”

"This guy is mysterious!" Korson turned to James. As James rubbed his ribs with a pale face, Curson was still smiling happily.

"Oh, this is probably protecting us Grande. Zach winked at Corson, "After all, Detective Corson knows about our Grande's little side hustle. ”

"Hehe, naturally, naturally. ”

"But of course, I'm thankful that the detective helped me last time. Zach smiled at Corson, saying that Corson had helped Brian's report and get the police to investigate. Coupled with what Colson said in passing about Benjamin in Newton at the time, "I personally think that Colson is detective you." It is someone who can be trusted. ”

"Naturally! Cousson was even happier.

"Let's get started. "Of course, Zach didn't really explain anything to Detective Corson in detail, after all, the other party was a police officer. The normal start of his gray professional commission, not shy away, is already a show of trust. Zach looked at Jason with a smile, "Did you get the insurance company's investigation documents?" ”

Jason was completely unaccustomed to such a scenario. It felt like half of his body was stiff, uh, maybe he was sitting next to Wes. In short, Jason handed out a document unnaturally, "This is a copy. It is impossible to take out the original. ”

Zach didn't answer, hey, there's a Cowson after all, and some things can be done in a way. Zach pointed to the three policemen, "Let them see, I'm just the owner of the funeral home, hehe." ”

With a look of sincere admiration, Corson glanced at Zach, snatched the document before James could reach out, and quickly opened it to read. As for Wes, who is also a police officer, he didn't want to touch Jason at all and didn't join the fight.

"Herman?!" he immediately spotted the point, "Boone Herman? Who is Boone Herman? Trophy Maker ......"

Before Cowson could find out more, Zach looked at James, "What about you, since your partner said you were busy in the morning? ”

James adjusted his breathing, trying not to look at Zack, pulled out a small notebook, and spoke, "The North End has received four reports of such fires......" Before he could say more, he was interrupted by Cowson.

"What fire report?!"

James glanced gloomily at his partner, ignoring it, "One is in the southeast, so no one cares, one is the Boone Herman workshop, and two more, one in the Upper North Side (where Anthony lives, in the northeast corner of the North Side, where the Barton political center people live) but because ......" James frowned, "those people are special, so there is no investigation report, and there are no casualties and they are directly covered." ”

Zach waited for a moment, "James, you're missing one." ”

James tugged at the corners of his mouth, "There is also one in Back Bay, and the report is only confirmed by the fire department that there are no casualties, and it is gone." ”

Arrange it out. The fire in the upper north district, the police investigated, but the political sensitivity, overshadowed. Back Bay, where ordinary citizens live, ended when it was confirmed that there were no casualties. Boone Herman, who did not pay attention to the request for repeated reporting, did not lead to results. The southeast, no one pays attention to it directly. This is the Patton Police Department.

Corson glanced at James from the side, tugged at the corners of his mouth, didn't speak, and continued to look at the insurance company in his hand to investigate.

"You're lucky in the North Side. At least there were no casualties. No longer needing Zack's signal, Wes spoke, the document in his hand was raised, he glanced at Zack, and the thoughtful and timely no longer handed it to Zack, but passed it to James and Curson.

"There were three incidents in the Southside, but one of them had casualties in Ixton (where Chapman lived, where Walter used to live) and two homeless people were burned to death in an old house. Our investigation in the southern district is mainly on this one, and the other two cases only cooperated with the fire department to do some pacification work for the surrounding people. ”

However, it should be noted that the Southern District Police Department came up with the real report, and to see what James came up with, it was a handwritten note.

"Ixton?" James looked at Wes as he flipped through the papers, "Why didn't Chapman mention it?"

"Chapman?" Wes also recalled who Chapman was, "Oh, I don't know, I'm not home, I don't know." What these three fires have in common is that they occurred at the same time, lasted for a very short time, missed them, and no one would notice them at all. ”

James still frowned, "The fire, someone always noticed, and Chapman's family didn't see it." "James knew that the police department was busy, and Chapman might have missed it, but there was no reason why Chapman's family should miss it too.

"Uh! I'll just ask him later!" Coulson interjected, his tone impatient, because he noticed something more worthy of attention, "Three fires in the Southern District—" Cousson quoted the Southern Police Department report with a strange expression, "The 'fire slams' all happened on Monday afternoon, near the end of the evening, uh, this insurance company. Curson poked his head and nodded at Jason, who was stiff, "The time described by the insured company is also at this time, which is unusual!"

Corson looked at James, "What about our other calls in the North End?"

James looked at his partner with a gloomy face, "Didn't you hear it just now, I said it, there was no report, no investigation! It's just that I exchanged these things for a week's free coffee one by one! You ask me, who am I going to ask!"

Corson bared his teeth, looked past James, looked at Wes, the Southern Side policeman, and said with an embarrassed face, "Uh, we've been very busy in the bureau lately......"

Wes tilted his head and responded with an unexplained expression.

Zack raised his eyebrows, and suddenly felt that it was good for Corson to appear here, isn't it, in order to defend the dignity of the North District Police Department, maybe, this commission, Zack can let go, and finally sit back and wait for the money!

Needless to say, absolutely.

Corson was quiet for a while, and then spoke again in a serious tone, "The insurance company's report, and the fire in Ixton in the Southern District, both mention that someone suddenly caught fire on their own!

Jason seemed to want to reply, and Zach knew that, according to Boone, his workers were all witnesses. But as soon as Jason spoke, Weiss took the lead.

"The house in Ixton is a gathering place for homeless people, and we made confessions, but, as you know, their confessions generally don't mean much. We also did not find the bodies of the so-called spontaneous combustors. The other two cases could only be put on hold as arson, but the killer could not be found. ”

"We're going to investigate!" Corson said in an affirmative tone, "North, this Boone Herman here, his workers must know something!"

Zach smiled, "Detective Cousson, then I'll thank you on behalf of my employer." ”

Corson was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, worthy of being an old police detective, his brain turned really fast, "Don't worry!

Hehe. (To be continued......)
