Chapter 5 Contact

James's home has a kind of coldness that does not fit his age, such as the sofa in the living room on the first floor, the combination of black and white and the stiff texture make people feel like they are sitting on stone. Zach touched the armrest, and the taut musk corners were exposed, and a small leather surface was exposed, with 'K.S.' printed on it, the name of the design master who was now very famous in the Federation.

The vampire raised an eyebrow, looked at the opposite Sbella and took the two cushions dissatisfied, and placed them on the sofa that was no different from the skin covered with stones, and then sat down.

It was the real ruler of the Windwind who could sit down and talk, and Corden, with Benjamin, was lying on the floor of the floor, cleaning up the blood stains that had been made earlier......

"James Lance. Sbella half-clasped her eyelids: "He recited the Soul Attraction Spell I had written." ”

"Yes. Zach looked at the woman with a smile, and the person they were talking to, James, was now in the bathroom, cleaning his head of goat's blood. Of course, the wound on his left wrist had healed with the blood generously contributed by the vampire.

"Ryan, how is it now. Sbella's tone didn't change.

"Well, it's a bit annoying. Zach told the truth.

Although the name 'Ryan' is still used, Ryan is no longer actually related to 'Wind', and his appearance is all Connor's, and it is also Connor's body parts (blood and hair) that maintain his connection to this world.

Apparently not wanting to say more on this issue, Sbella changed the subject: "This James, is it your man?"

"Yes. Zach squeezed his eyes, dragged out his voice, pouted again, and gestured with his hands: "Probably, hopefully, sort of." ”

Sbella looked at Zach's expression and snorted softly, it was clear that the Indian wizard was not interested in the social life of vampires. Sibella's eyes drifted away impatiently: "Then I want to warn you that he is too close to something dangerous. He needs to step away!"

"You mean Papa Midnight?" Zach raised an eyebrow.

Sbella's eyes drifted back to the smiling vampire, "You already know!"

Zach shrugged. He leaned forward, closing the distance between him and his opponent, resting his elbows on his knees and raising his head, "As you can see, I'm trying to be friends with this Detective James Lance. So when he called and said, 'Hey, I noticed something strange about the case I'm working on,' I didn't dare to let go for a moment. ”

Zach had a smile on his face and his fingers gesturing in the air, "So, as you can imagine, this frustration really made me a little sad when I found out that this 'strange' case had something to do with Papa's midnight!" Zach deliberately frowned, putting on a sad look.

"Well, at least, at least!" Zach spread his palms in front of Sbella with a helpless expression, "Before I embarrass my friends who wish to please, let me at least know why? Why that guy is at Barton!"

"Put away your nonsense!" "Sbella glared at the 'emotional' vampire menacingly, "I'm not the kind of person who would believe your lame performance!"

Zach put away all his expressions, tilted his head, leaned back on the sofa, and his tone became flat: "You can't blame me for trying." After all, I did invite you to the House of Grande, but you didn't. ”

Zach was talking about his night visit half a month ago, and the vampire thought that at least Grande had taken Ryan in, and that the couple would have a different impression of the Grande House. But Zach waited for half a month, and the couple had no intention of visiting.

"We're busy. Sbella's brow furrowed.

"Because of 'midnight'?" Zach chuckled, "Don't tell me, you didn't summon him." ”

"It's us. Sbella's tone was cold, and there was a hint of remorse in her eyes: "That was an act of desperation. ”

"That's the problem between us. Zach crossed his legs and took a summary and lesson gesture: "We all live in Barton City, and we all want the same life." But we never communicate and we don't trust each other. If I'm not mistaken, Connor's body was back in place at midnight, right?"

"Yes. Sibella tightened her cloak on her shoulders and expressed her disdain in a heavy nasal voice: "What if we communicate?" the righteous ......one of the Grande House" Sibella's eyes moved up and looked at Benjamin, the werewolf who was scrubbing the floor seriously: "I am being infested by the curse of the full moon. What will you do? Would we have a vampire tear the throat of one of our sons for the sake of the soul of our own son?"

Curse refers to the transformation of the alpha on the third day of the full moon. Werewolves were created by the Wizards of Indoan to resist the colonists, and they naturally think that werewolves are the party that represents justice, which is not a judgment of Benjamin's personality, it is just a racial prejudice against vampires. In fact, judging from the first time Ryan met Benjamin, it can be known that this wizarding family does not fully trust werewolves. As far as we can see now, it's more like a hunter family!

Zach ignored Sbella's discrimination and blinked, "So you summoned Papa." Zach's eyes rolled, "What a 'wise' decision." ”

Syllable!

If there is no musk, the sound must be unusual!

Sbella's thin hand pressed on the armrest and roared at the vampire, "We can take care of this!"

"You can?!" Zack raised his voice with a hint of taunt on the corner of his mouth, and his body leaned forward again, waving his arms sharply: "Then why do so many people kill themselves by marking an X on their hearts?! Then why am I here?! Then why is a murder squad detective ......"

Zach turned his head and saw James, whose hair was still wet, walking towards the two with a gloomy face, and the smile on his face was even stronger: "Very good, James, tell our Lady Wind, why would you, a detective of the homicide team, investigate a suicide case?"

James hesitated for a moment about choosing a seat, and finally sat down with the vampire.

Sbella frowned and bowed slightly, apologizing James for his previous actions, and perhaps thanking him for saving Ryan's soul. But if she had known that it was 'James' (King) and sent her other son to prison for a court verdict, we all knew that old Herman would have made the death sentence affirmed!

James still doesn't know exactly what happened, but apparently, the vampire's arrival is linked to the arrival of the Tempests, and to his ongoing case, he follows the vampire's words.

"Because we believe that this is not suicide, but forced suicide. James still has a faint red mark on his left wrist, "We have gathered enough evidence to prove that they were abducted. James took a deep breath and stared at Sbella, "I wonder if it's you!"

Obviously, this detective has not recovered from the attack just now, and he needs to know if the person sitting across from him and talking to him is not the murderer!

Sbella's lips are closed, is this a tacit acquiescence?

"Detective Lance. Zach uses a surname and a title, which usually means that Zach wants to emphasize something: "You used the word 'strange' in the phone call you gave me, so please don't use the label of your common sense to qualify the person or thing in front of you." Zach looked at James, "You know. ”

James frowned, he felt a headache, what does vampire mean by this?!Simple justice and evil seemed to blur in the detective's mind again.

"You say, hijacking. Sbella bypassed James's question, "Which one do you mean?"

James clenched his fists: "The deceased disappeared for two hours a week ago while on official business. There is a colleague's testimony ......"

"That's not us. Sibella didn't finish listening, and gave the answer directly, "We contacted him the day before yesterday." Sbella glanced at James, "And we didn't do anything out of the ordinary, it's almost like you went through something today, except that you were pierced by a knife." That's not our intention, it's that you're too vigilant. ”

Pressed down, splashed with sheep's blood, pressed on the forehead to chant mantras?

"Why. James asked with a grimace.

"Because we want to make sure that you are not the Dead Apostle of Papa Midnight. ”

"'Papa Midnight', 'Dead Apostle'?" James subconsciously turned his head to look at the vampire.

Zach was pleased with this subconscious bias to one side and asked for help, smiling: "You know, when a person dies, his soul either goes to other worlds or wanders in this world. Of course, eventually, their bodies, their souls, will pass away. But there was a man, whom we call Papa Midnight, who found the fortunate souls and bodies that had not yet died, and made a contract with them to work for him, and he brought them back to life. Then the people who agreed to Papa's midnight returned to this world, and they were given a second chance at life~"

James pressed his hands to his eyes, and the detective fell into a state of distress again, and the tendons on his forehead showed the detective's struggle.

"Hmph!" Silbera chuckled and shook her head, "Are you whitewashing Papa's Midnight?Second Chance?Lucky?Pitiful and miserable! Those people are nothing but Papa's slaves to Midnight!His paranoid and delusional martyrs!"

"Shh

The general's son lowered his hand and glared at the vampire fiercely! When Zach said this, it was as if he wasn't there!

James glared at the encouraged-smiling vampire with almost a hateful look, "You, say, what!"

"Think, James, think about what I just said, and you'll see the point. The vampire pointed out of the corner of his eye.

In the brief silence, only James breathed heavily, and James's pupils contracted slightly, as if remembering something: "Work! You said to work for Papa at midnight! What kind of work!"

The smile on Zack's face completely bloomed, pointing at Sbella: "Even if you have to break the contract by an unusually bloody suicide, you don't want to complete the work." So, this one is not the murderer you are looking for, she just told those poor people how to 'resign'. ”
