5 Cologne
"How's Corson. As soon as he sat down, the director of Cologne spoke. This is a serious proposal for substitutions.
"Nope. Zach took all his expressions, "That was a 'warning' to him that he had messed with my girlfriend." β
Cologne looked at Zach who was pouring wine behind the desk, and frowned slightly, "So the relationship between Lance and you Grande has reached this point, my sister and girlfriend are so familiar, he is no longer an outsider." Detectives and informants, just a 'bypass'. β
"Well, you can say that. It was too difficult to define the relationship between James and Grande, and Zach was not obliged to explain to the director in front of him, perhaps to say, "When we met James, we didn't know he was a police detective. So our relationship doesn't start with the police and the citizens either. β
"Can I ask how it started? I don't know if Cologne is really curious about this question or if there are other demands.
"The director knows that I just came back and haven't eaten lunch yet, so I'll hear why you're here. "How about Zach be honest and Cologne is too naΓ―ve, "So how about being a conscientious host, and the director being a caring guest." Zach lifted his glass, "Say it." β
Grande's master was even more difficult to deal with than Cologne had expected. He twitched the corner of his eye, which he thought was perfect, "Okay." He took out the papers, spread them out on his desk, flipped them over, and pushed them to Zack, "This is your file." β
"Time~" Zach actually reached out and touched his black and white photo, "Look at me at that time, how young I was, look, I can hardly see my pores." β
A green tendon protruded from the corner of Cologne's forehead, "I'm going to ask you a few questions, you have to answer honestly......"
"Am I being interrogated?" Zach tilted his head. Ask.
"Uh, no. β
Zach gave Cologne a smile, "Then ask." β
Cologne's forehead protruded with green tendons branched, "During the war, it said that you were doing business with your mother in the west. β
"The years of war, the turbulent years. Ay. Zach sipped his wine and shook his head, "It's hard to miss." β
"Just doing business?"
Zach seemed to be dissatisfied with the other party's questioning, and naturally, he had clearly expressed that he didn't want to recall, and this guest was not intimate and pressing. Zach shook his head, "I don't understand what the Director wants to ask?"
Zach certainly understood that Louise and James were talking in the basement, and he listened half of them. Enough for him to grasp the 'medical experience' of unknown significance. The response has already been thought out, well, not completely thought out, so it can't be Zack can't be the first to strike, and it has to be made later. As for how to do it, it's already started, just watch it on.
"My question is simple, you are after the end of the war. Came to Barton, before that. What else have you done besides doing business?" said Director Cologne's eyes were a little threatening.
"Bury my mother with your own hands. Zach put down his glass and looked back at Director Cologne, "If that's what you want to ask." β
When the other party's expression froze, Zach withdrew his gaze and looked at the file in front of him. It seems to be reading such an official document, the way of describing a person's life. It's a little cold, "Hey." It seems to have been written very clearly here, my mother's death, and I connected with my brother Benjamin, who was discharged from the army after the war. Return to Barton to find his father. β
Zach didn't seem to want to go any further, and closed the file, "May I ask Director Cologne what is the reason for this?Is there anything Grande does, well, something inappropriate?Hehe, after all, a director brought my file to ask me about my life experience, which made me feel a little ...... Doubt. β
Cologne frowned as Zach tapped his fingers on the closed file, "What's your mother's illness?" β
"I don't want to talk about that. "Since the other party is not prepared to explain Zack's 'doubts', and at the same time, this is not an interrogation, Zach can say such things without any burden.
"Did your mother get any special treatment......
"I don't want to talk about that. Zach looked directly at the other with a sad look and a determined repetition.
"Benjamin joins the army, only you and your mother are in the western ......"
Zach shook his head, fully showing that he no longer wanted to continue the topic, "I have already said that the bumpy experience of that period does not force me to recall. β
"Is there a secret to this experience?" said the Cologne director quickly and in short sentences so as not to be interrupted.
Zach turned his head and took a deep breath. It seems that after not having time to interrupt, I don't want to say much at all.
"Have you studied, any, any medical, medical means?!" Cologne's eyes followed Zach as he thought he had caught something, "for your mother's illness?!"
Zach turned his head and looked directly at Cologne again, his eyes cold, "Director, do you mean anything by saying this?" β
Does it make sense? Zach's 'mother' died, and Zach and Benjamin came to Barton. Oh, does that make sense?
Cologne stared into Zack's eyes, reading what he thought he was, "Where did you learn?!" Zach didn't deny it, did he.
Zach shook his head again and looked away, as if the conversation really didn't want to go on.
"Benjamin, your brother, you have such a relationship. Cologne stared at Zach for a long time, and then spoke again, certainly, "On the battlefield, those military doctors, am I right!"
"I don't have anything to say. Zach lifted the glass, emptied it, and filled it again.
"I need an answer. Yes, it's still not right!"
"It doesn't make sense. Zach repeated his attitude, his gaze casually falling on a corner of the office.
"Hmph!" Director Cologne snorted meaninglessly, "You have illegally practiced medicine on the battlefield......!
"That's it. Zach stood up suddenly, looking at Cologne with a cold look in his eyes, "It seems that the director is not a guest of Grande's welcome." He made a gesture of send-off and pointed to the door on the east side of the office.
At this point, after Zach deliberately mentioned 'the experience of having bumpy memories and the death of his mother', he did not refute a word, and left Cologne to play freely alone, and the afterhand was over.
"This is not an interrogation. "Nothing surprising, get what he wants in Cologne...... To be precise, it was what he thought he wanted, and his previous forced gaze was withdrawn, and his emotions eased. "I'm just confirming a few things. β
Zach still pointed in the direction of the door, not responding.
"I want to start over. "The guy who has already offended people is asking for a fresh start, huh.
The other party didn't move, Zach moved. Retracting his hand, he turned around and walked to the west door with his wine glass, apparently leaving the office. Don't care about this 'undesirable guest' anymore.
Please understand Zach's current situation, he can't say more words, say more wrong, it's a simple truth.
It's already a very reluctant loophole in the 'medical experience' that James poked out, but I still don't know why this Cologne director is here. That's the point. Zach needs to force the other party to spit out this reason as soon as possible before there is a possibility of continuing to deal with it.
"Wait a minute, please wait a minute!" Cologne didn't seem to expect Zach to be so tough, and began to regret the previous pressing. He stood up, his eyes chasing Zack's back, "Do you remember Ike Jay?"
Zach didn't stop. The door has been opened, and the backhand is about to close.
"He's going to die!" said that the police station was his Mr. Chief, and he took two steps behind Zach and held down the door, "You saved his regiment on the battlefield!
Zack's movement was hindered, and he glanced sideways at the director of Cologne who was stuck in the doorway, and pulled the doorknob's hand again. Trying to close the door-
First, Zach doesn't remember this Ike Jay. Second. Zach has saved more regiments on the battlefield, but can you admit it? Cologne came up with the idea of 'practicing medicine illegally', which is not a minor crime.
Zack's strength couldn't 'compare' to the police chief, and Zach gave up and left the door alone. Keep going.
"Hey, Mr. Grande!" Director Cologne chased after Zack, who was already walking up the stairs, "Can you hear me!" as he tried to hold Zach and spilled the wine glass in Zach's hand.
Zach grimaced, glanced at his red-stained sleeves and trouser legs, and threw away the empty glass, the sound of the glass colliding with the wooden floor. He continued to descend the stairs while glancing at James who was looking up at the bottom of the stairs with a frown.
It's ugly.
There are even more ugly ones.
"Detective (James)!
James stopped in front of Zach with a strange expression.
Zach looked at James in front of him, then looked back at Cologne, whose face was actually a little hideous, and finally, at Mo, who poked his head out of the dining room and looked at it.
Well, almost broke the job. We should still remember that ink meals rely on acting. She, a female ghost from the Republic, has no 'enthusiasm' for eating, and she uses her wide eyes and high eyebrows to express her curiosity about what is happening on Zack's side.
Zach almost burst out laughing.
Just almost. Zach turned and faced the police chief on the stairs, "What does this mean, Chief Cologne, do I need to get a lawyer to come." β
Cologne's expression was absolutely hideous now, staring at Zach, "I just want to talk to you properly!" gritted his teeth. Any ugly scene has a disgraceful protagonist, and this protagonist is not Zach, not James, or he Cologne himself, "Private! in your office!"
"Here. In order to show his determination, Zach moved sideways on the staircase that was only one foot long, standing straight in the center of the staircase, looking up, but looking at the 'protagonist' with no expression, "Now. β
Cologne's face began to redden, and his gaze shifted first to Zack, then to James behind Zach, and finally to the side, as the members of the Grande at lunch joined Ink.
Everyone looked at Cologne, and a strange feeling appeared, even though James was ordered to stop Zack, but at this time, it seemed that all the eyes cast here behind Zack were Grande's...... Support. Do you understand?
The strange atmosphere lasted for a few seconds, and Cologne suddenly lowered his head, and with a tremor of emotion, he took out his notes and pen with his movements, and quickly wrote something, "Mercy Hospital, go here!" he tore off the paper and handed it to Zack.
Zach's gaze fell to the torn edges covered with crumpled paper, the floor and room number, and was marked as a prison cell. Didn't.
The teeth closed, and only the lips moved, "Please!"
Zach reached out and took it.
"As soon as please! he doesn't have much left!" Cologne added at last, turning his head upwards.
In the third second after the director's figure disappeared into the office, it was reported that the door on the east side was pulled open and slammed shut. You can leave it alone.
Zach grabbed the address between his fingers, tugged at the corners of his mouth, shook his head, and when he turned around, the paper in his hand was snatched by James. James doesn't have to rob it, and Zach won't stop it.
"What is this?!" Cologne is gone, and James is not so easy to go.
Zach smiled at this time, easily turned sideways around James who was blocking the stairs, and waved his hand at the members of the Grande who were watching, "There's nothing to look at~"
"I ask you what is this?!" James grabbed Zach and pulled the sleeve that had been spilled with 'wine' before, inexplicably excited.
"Probably a ward for a guy named Ike Jay. Zach watched James shake his bright red palm with some playfulness, "Are you clear now? The reason why your director asked me about my 'medical experience' is probably for this guy." β
"Who?"
"Ike Jay. Zach kindly repeated, now kind, about to be bad, to Louise's displeasure, Zach still remembers, will not be so easy to let James go. Well, that's not the real reason, treat James, can't be so careful, will be. What Zach needed more was to think carefully about what Cologne had just said.
This Ike Jay had apparently been on the battlefield before, and Zach had saved him, and now the man hoped that Zack would save him again. Here's the problem, people who have been saved by Zack shouldn't remember Zack's existence.
"Colonel Ike?"
Zach raised an eyebrow and looked at James, "You know this man?"
"He was my father's political enemy, he impeached my father several times in the West, and he felt sorry for me a few times when I was still in the army, and I didn't like this guy......" After an almost instinctive answer, James suddenly shut up. Look at Zach.
What the...... Circumstance?
It was only after James knew that his father, the famous General Lance, was a puppet of the Demon Feast and that his life was surrounded by aliens under the Demon Feast, and that he should re-evaluate all the people he had ever known...... Circumstance.
Zach raised an eyebrow again, "What else do you know? About this, Colonel, Ike. β
"He's going to die. James looked at Zack, his whole face stiffened indescribably, "He's 'dead', a secret operation failed and was seriously injured, the non-disclosure agreement made him lose any rights, and he himself was kept in the hospital by the military without any action, waiting to die." β
Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, "So, do you think I should go here?" Zach gestured to James's unconscious clenched fist, which contained Cologne's address.
"Go!"
Zach nodded.
Probably different from James's reason for answering so bluntly, Zach had to figure out why his charm pupil on the battlefield had failed. (To be continued.) )
