This was supposed to be the first time our vampire had a one-on-one conversation with John, a guy with a bunch of identities. Zach was looking forward to it for a long time.

Unexpectedly, John was too fragile, so he was stunned and figured out what Zach meant on the spot, and turned around and 'fled'.

Zach carried the coffin, raised his eyebrows, and shook his head helplessly.

Ben also wanted to be a little distracting, but Zach knew he was expecting something useless. Zach's expression is simply saying that John himself is the one who is directly and really in the unfair role of Grande, both from a historical point of view and from the perspective of Grande's current situation.

Morally, ethically, and legally, John has the upper hand, and he is not in a position to judge that it is unfair to human labor for Zach to carry a coffin easily.

Zach should have realized that after all, John had a black history of running away when he encountered a problem, otherwise he wouldn't have called himself John Funny now.

With the coffin ready, Zach stood in the backyard that turned dark red, thinking, is there anything else to distract his thoughts, and there is a guest coming, it is Blake.

Zach watched Blake get out of the car with a smile on his face, and walked towards him with a complicated expression.

"I'm glad you're here. Zach said sincerely, "I'm still worried that you're going to misunderstand me about something." ”

This is not a small worry, yesterday when Zach and Louise cooperated with the phone to spread the news, Blake called on behalf of the mayor as a public relations officer for the mayor's office. But the content is very discreet, and it can even be said that the only personal question in the conversation is about old Hank.

In addition, Blake's knowledge of the truth about Grande is only a corner, and it has not yet touched the scope of the alien race, and the state of half-understanding is the most likely to cause misunderstanding.

"I'm sorry, but I didn't want to make that impression. Blake didn't seem to dare to look Zach in the eye.

Zach waved his hand. Motioning to be okay, he sat down on the bench in the back porch, "It's a mess in the office, so I'm not going to invite you in, sit here." ”

The real reason is that James's case essay is still on the table, and the Grande fan letter is still spread out on the table. Zach didn't want to put unnecessary pressure on this expected buffer. Yes, it's concealment.

"Did Anthony send you?" Zach asked.

"Sort of, sort of. Blake sat next to Zach, a little uncomfortable.

Zach raised an eyebrow and thought for a moment, "Did the police find you?"

This is Zach's clue to the Southern District Police Chief Pelles, remember, the two people who came to Grande met by coincidence. The entrustment of one party is rejected, and the entrustment of one party is withdrawn after acceptance. The former was left on the memorandum, the latter was bound by certain agreements, which Grande could not say.

Blake frowned and nodded hesitantly, "I was summoned by the police in the afternoon, and the mayor helped deal with it, and after discussing with me, let me come over...... Ask. ”

Zach curled the corners of his mouth. Although I guessed that the process of the police would be delayed due to various constraints, it was really slow enough. But fortunately, this line has finally been pulled. Once Herman's name officially appears on the table, James's wild road can also be turned right, becoming a key clue to the news of all parties, and the things that will be bound by the non-disclosure agreement will be completely lifted.

Zach smiled and shook his head, "Come and ask." You see, Mayor Anthony is so frustrating. Zach leaned against the wall of the back porch. "If he wanted to, he could get me to speak with a phone call. ”

Zach was making a point, and the mayor was too 'shy' to have a good conversation with Grande and get into a lot of trouble. In between, you need an insider - Blakes as a buffer!

Blake pursed his lips, glanced at Zack, hesitated for a moment before he spoke, and asked an unspeakable question, "Bisharp, or Herman." ”

Zach glanced at the tangled Blake, and the blame can only be blamed on Jackson's death, which is the same as the time point when Grande was attacked, some people in the gray professional circle in the shadows are suspicious, and people in the bright places will naturally be suspicious.

Not to mention seeing Zach reject Jackson's commission from Blake, and before Herman's name was officially unveiled, Grande's attack was full of blind spots, and he had every reason to be suspicious. Perhaps, this is the real knot in Blake's heart.

Zack was a little comforted, and such a straightforward question at least showed that Blake was still willing to be honest with himself.

"Not Bisharp. Zach replied directly, "Actually, today Grande took over Jackson's funeral. Zach smiled, "Benjamin and I hung out on the North End for a long time, and I thought that deviation should be dispelled." ”

Blake should have been a little surprised by Zack's directness, looking at Zack's side face and thinking for a while. Then he pursed his lips and shook his head, "No, the affairs of the Bisharp family are in the upper echelons of Barton, and everyone knows that there are two forces in the Bisharp family, and we don't know which side Grande is on." "Blake, the most promising descendant of the Stones, a family of politicians, is serious.

Zach is getting serious too.

"Is that so?" Zach frowned, undoubtedly confirming his suspicion that the Bisharp family was about to split. Zach thought for a moment, "I should probably sue you for something other than you're here." ”

Zach waved his hand, and the reason for saying this was that since it was Bisharp, then it was to sue Blake, and the name of the person he needed to respond to the police was Herman. The question is over, and now it's time to take a detour: "It was Mr. Bishop Sr. who called Grande to arrange the funeral, and it was Benjamin and I who received me......" Zach narrowed his eyes, "Ms. Scher." ”

"Shel?" the surprised expression was instantly replaced by clarity, Mrs. Bisharp's real surname was not a secret after all. Blake pondered.

Zach gives Blake time to think about the shift in power at the top of Barton's hierarchy, and Zach can think of himself as a small funeral home, or a helper who collects money, and barely keep a standby as a bystander, but not the mayor and the Stone family.

Regardless of whether Blake agreed to be Grande's buffer or not, Zach was already sending him information.

The reflection took some time, and when it was over, Blake turned his head, said thank you, and prepared to leave.

In addition to determining that Grande's attack was related to Herman, he also learned of the official split of the Bishop family. The harvest is not small.

Footsteps rang out in the stairwell, and the 'Cook Kitchen' was over. Alice entered the kitchen, Benjamin pushed the door out, glanced at the carpentry shed at the back of the warehouse, which had been set up for tomorrow's coffin, then at Zach and Blake on the bench, nodded, walked to the hammock, and swayed leisurely.

Blake, who had already stood up, was reminded by Benjamin's gaze, looked at the display coffin that had been placed, and hesitated again, and the elongated tail note of "Jackson's funeral ......" finally disappeared without a sound.

Zach speculated about Blake's meaning, and responded tentatively, "The matter of the guests, Ms. Sher will confirm it tomorrow when she goes to the Church of the Holy Son to make arrangements, don't worry, you should be invited." ”

Blake glanced at Zack, looked away, and nodded sadly. Obviously, this is not what he wants to say, "I just ......" he pursed his lips, "the only thing I can do when I spend time with him in the end is to test, test, and observe." I feel that I am not qualified to say goodbye to him......"

Do you know what Blake meant? Isn't that what Zach said to him, and asked Blake to look at Jackson to evaluate Grande's 'ability' as a criterion for agreeing to Grande's invitation.

So what Blake wants to say is that in Jackson's last life, in Blake's eyes, Jackson is a test animal, a tool that exists in order to verify something. This is the guilt of the human heart.

Zach looked at Benjamin in the hammock, Benjamin's half-squinted eyes, but his gaze was also at Zack. The vampire and alpha are thinking the same thing.

"This is not a farewell. Zach curled the corners of his mouth, and he made a decision - to give Blake a hand.

Death is never goodbye, as long as you have a sound worldview, you can know the truth.

Zach, who didn't want Blake to continue to be in a tangled state of not being up or down, decided to make up for this part of the truth. (To be continued......)
