Back at Grande, Zach is somewhat surprised that Detective Corson is waiting for him.

"Is there anything wrong with the detective?" General Lance was gone, and Zach thought there would be a while when he wouldn't have to be sought out by the South End Police Department - there was no need for outsiders to still think that Grande was related to the South End Police Department.

"A little bit of a personal matter. "Detective Coulson looked a little hesitant, in fact, there is no need, everyone is here, there is no point in hesitating.

Zach went straight to the office.

"No, I don't. Detective Cousson waved his hand, "I just want to go to the cemetery to see someone...... Well, come to you to say it. ”

Zach nodded, motioning for Cyrus to inform the cemetery's security so that Curson could get through.

Cyrus gave a look that had already been announced.

Zach raised an eyebrow. It means that the reason why Corson is still here is that he really has something to say. Zach casually guessed, "Detective Curson, do you want to see Detective Levine's grave?"

The only reason Zach made such a guess was that Mrs. Levine had mentioned Detective Corson when she commissioned it. Although General Lance came to Barton for James's wedding, overshadowing the funeral of Detective North Police in terms of priority, it is always ideal that if there was no wedding, without General Lance, Detective Corson would have been involved in Detective Levine's funeral. The camaraderie of colleagues in the police profession is, in common sense, a comparative, 'high' friendship.

"Yes!" Detective Cowson confirmed, and seeing his sudden rise in emotion, he was just waiting for Zach to start this, "I have some questions about Levine, and I want to ask you." ”

"The funeral was arranged by the North District Police Department. Zach said, meaning don't ask me.

"I didn't mean to ask about the funeral. Corson answered quickly, "I wanted to ask how he died!"

"I just did his funeral. Zach spread his hands.

This annoyed Zach a bit. It wasn't an event that Zach wanted to be involved in, and then Bell involved Zach once (when Zach went to see Bell that day, Bell was about to run away), Darcy involved Zack once (asked Zach to stop James from investigating the case), James involved Zach once (using the funeral to squeeze out Zach's chance to attend the wedding), and Mrs. Levine involved Zack once (commissioned). As a result, Zach worked hard for a long time and didn't get any benefits, which is not in line with Toredo's philosophy of doing things.

Now Corson is here again. Belch.

"I've checked the case file!" Cowson didn't know Zach's mental journey, "The person in charge of the case record is James Lance's name, and he signed the case file! I went to him, but he actually sent me away on honeymoon leave and didn't talk about business!" Coulson was visibly angry, "I went to Levine's wife again, and today, I found that her neighbor told me that she actually moved!

Zach glanced at Detective Cowson, a little sympathetic.

When this happened, Detective Corson completely missed it...... It can't be said that it was missed, as I just said, it's just priority. The dead do not come back to life, but General Lance's stay at Patton is limited. Corson and Cologne made the right choice for their future. Hey, now when he goes back to the dead man, he finds that no one cares and no one responds, and he can only vent here with Zack.

"Do you think I might know something?" Zach wanted to find out where Cowson's expectations were—Zach couldn't tell the whole truth to Detective Couson who didn't know about the existence of the aliens, so the question was to be a little sympathetic to Cowson, and Zach was sure what he could tell C.

"You should know something about Lance's (James) case!"

This is all too true.

Unfortunately, Zach can't tell Corson about it from James's position, because the reason why James gave up the case is that we got the truth of the case through the devil.

"I do know something. Zach waved his hand, "Mrs. Levine commissioned me to investigate the real cause of her husband's death after accepting the funeral, insurance, and compensation arrangements from the North District Police Department. ”

Zach revealed a lot of information in one sentence, because a car drove into Grande, and he was a guest whose priority was definitely above that of Detective Cowson, and Zach dropped this sentence and asked Cowson to absorb it first, and he wanted to receive guests.

"What's wrong with me? Mr. Smith got out of the car and glanced at Detective Curson standing next to Zack.

Corson's reaction was quite quick, and countless questions appeared on his face, but the words were "I, I'll go to the cemetery first." "Nod to Mr. Smith and go first.

Zach also nodded goodbye, then motioned to Mr. Smith to the second floor of Grande and went up first.

Zach didn't go to the office, and waited for Mr. Smith on the second floor, and saw someone come up, "Do you want to see Kepler's room first?"

Mr. Smith nodded, and Zach led the way.

Although there was no warning of Smith's sudden visit, everyone could guess what this father was here for. It's also embarrassing for him, and after enduring it for more than a week, he finally came.

Mr. Smith, who knew his daughter well, stood in Capler's room for a moment, purposefully opened the girl's mattress, and pulled out a pink diary under the mattress......

Zach was amazed when he saw this thing for the first time. On the one hand, Mr. Smith's behavior, and on the other hand, ...... Kepler's diary? uh, that's a mismatch. Isn't it said that only sensitive people have this habit, if Lola had the habit of writing a diary, Zach could still imagine, Kepler??

The diary had a lock, the kind of password, and Mr. Smith thought about it with the diary, "The original password was my birthday, when I gave her this journal. With a flick of his fingers, the lock was not opened, and Mr. Smith had no expression on his face, "I was once very touched by such a small thing. ”

Zach can see some details, this pink diary, very old. It is not the kind of wear and tear depreciation that is often used, but ...... Pure time loss. The pink gum shell is a little deformed, and if you look closely, you can see that it is not a popular item in this era.

Then came her own birthday. Mr. Smith tried another set of numbers, but the lock still didn't respond, and Mr. Smith wasn't embarrassed, "When asked if she needed a new diary, she asked me when she had an 'old diary.'" ”

Zach understood, and sure enough, Kepler was not a diary type of person. I'm afraid that if it weren't for Mr. Ben Smith's reminder, Kepler himself doesn't remember touching his father......

"I guess it's her fiancé Jimmy Yuri's birthday. Smith glanced at Zach, "After all, this whole runaway from home is the attitude she wants to express." When the housekeeper found out that she had taken the diary away while cleaning the room, I felt ...... finger flick. When the lock didn't react, although Mr. Smith did his best to cover it up, Zach observed that the middle-aged man was relieved.

Mr. Smith began to think, "What could that be......

Zach didn't want to remind him, but he couldn't let Mr. Smith think about it here. Zach pursed his lips in a very attentive tone, "What about the day Jimmy proposed?"

Mr. Smith's face darkened for a moment, but his fingers moved, and when the last password arrived, the lock clicked.

Mr. Smith took a deep breath and gave himself a second thought, "As I said, she's going to make an attitude." ”

Turn the first page of the diary. A few words of twisting.

*Ahh

It's too real.

Zach didn't peek, just within the normal range of vampire vision.

And then the diary lasted a few pages, and it was gone.

When there is the handwriting of the date, the handwriting is obviously more like the handwriting of Kepler now. Just a few words, * so boring, I want to fall in love. *

It's gone again.

Mr. Smith continues to flip, the date of reappearance is already recent, *Lola has some bad idea, Grande is bored to death!*

In the back, blank.

Mr. Smith closed the diary, locked it, put it back in place, and leveled the bed. Standing in place for a while, "The director of the school contacted some of the parents who were able to do it, and Reipt was going to do a summer social activity and take a group of students to study in other places. "Pause," to the Republic. ”

"Like a graduation trip?" Zach was now willing to take on any topic, and it would do no one any good to let Mr. Smith bask in that undescriptive embarrassment.

"It's not. Mr. Smith shook his head, "Fresh graduates are of little use in this kind of activity, and students who have plans for the future have already set their future paths." This is a preparation for the exchange student program that the Barton family (clan) is engaged in. ”

The mood changed instantly. The family dog blood drama has become a 'conspiracy' drama.

Zach's reaction didn't have to worry about it, and he immediately raised his eyebrows, "It's a decision made in response to the fact that I can't get Newton's exchange program to Barton for the time being." The Patton family wanted to train students in Patton who could exchange to the Republic. "The Patton family is also fighting hard for Patton's honor, and this kind of thing is done.

Smith nodded, "At the end of the semester, Reipter is going to hold a fundraising ball to raise money for the students who are participating in the program. But after all, multinational projects require more money than ordinary school activities that can be completed in the thousands. So in addition to such a prom, there is a need for a fixed donation that really occupies the lion's share. ”

"Sounds like a good reputation event. Zach is very objective, "Reipt High School should be quite reluctant that the Patton family suddenly came up with such an activity, but the school should also understand that the number of students who can finally participate in the republican study is not under the control of the school. However, if such an event can be successful, and some truly talented children can be brought to the Republic to experience such an opportunity, everyone will benefit. So I directly used the fundraising ball to open up the opportunity. "Be objective.

Mr. Smith apparently agreed with Zach's interpretation, "Well, when the Patton family was drawing up the number of participating students, I asked them to add Capler to the list, giving Reipt room to add to the list. Then, Reipt contacted us parents according to the initial list. "And of course," I, the head of the Smith family, were their main recipient of donations. ”

Zach is a little sad now, there is such a big event at school, and the two girls in his family don't even mention a word to him.

Smith seemed to see what Zach was thinking, "You're going to get this call too." I'm just one of the top ones on the list where you have to give regular school administrative office hours. ”

Belch...... Alice and Maya are also on the list??

Smith waved his hand, "But of course, the principle of this activity is voluntary, and if your sister (Alice) turns down the opportunity, the school will naturally not bother you." ”

Zach didn't think Alice would refuse, and just as he was thinking, the phone rang.

Smith glanced at Zach and gave him a 'I'll say it' look, "I'll answer the phone with you." ”

Zach didn't refuse, and the two just changed places. It's weird to talk about the adult world in a girl's room.

The call was from Reipter, but not from the school's administrative staff, but from Alice.

Alice will not repeat what she said, but explained that the school gives students plenty of free space to refuse or agree to summer activities, and to choose to discuss with their guardians.

Zach then asked the question, "Are all your friends going?"

Sissi didn't go, she said that she had been there once, and there was nothing fun. ”

Well, that's probably true.

Putting down the phone, Zach looked at Mr. Smith again, and confirmed one thing in the question he had just asked Alice, "Jimmy Yuri will go too." ”

"I know. Mr. Smith's face was expressionless, "I checked the laws of the Republic, if this kid wants to do anything with Kepler, huh." "Pause," he said. "It's a hum instead of a laugh.

Zach knew he couldn't keep asking. But Zach could feel that Mr. Smith was not here today to say something that Zach would know anyway, "Mr. Smith, you came today, is there anything else?"

"Louise is in the Republic, right, in order to avoid those boring reporters, ran to relax, right? ”

Zach understood, Smith had come to find a guardian for his daughter who didn't want to go home. Zach smiled, "Yes, if you want Louise to take care of Kepler at the Republic, she'll agree." ”

This can be used as a reward for Alice's stay at Smith Manor after returning to Barton from Newton in advance.

"Thank you very much. Mr. Smith nodded, "I know you suggested to me, if you don't want to be embarrassed, to make this a commission, just as we once commissioned you to reconcile the children of the West End." But I still want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”

The thanks were sincere, and Zach took it.

The two looked at each other in this harmonious atmosphere, kept smiling, and looked at each other for a while.

"Smith, what do you think of eternal life?"

There was no sinister motive, no particular purpose, Zach just suddenly wanted to ask.

"Immortal?" the smiling Smith paused for a moment, then, "I don't think much." "He didn't realize anything.

There are some things that you will miss if you miss them. Mr. Smith also knows that Zach still has Detective Corson to deal with, although he doesn't know what it is, but the identity of the detective, Mr. Smith knows when to consciously avoid suspicion.

"If Kepler hadn't asked, don't say I've been here. ”

"And what if she asked?"

"Hmph, let's just say I peeked at her diary. Mr. Smith was also real and left speechless, farewell, and left.
