Zach picked up his plate, "I still have some things to attend to." This was the usual trick of the vampires, and Great Dane Kim followed Zach into the office.
Alice glanced at Zack apologetically, she couldn't help much, Pete's body had been seen when it was delivered to the Grande House, but the banshee hadn't been able to 'see' the exact scene of death. What she sees is Cerberus forcibly dragging Pete into Hell.
With the current environment of Barton City, the banshee didn't think there was anything special about it when she saw it. This is a result that makes people speechless, and it cannot be said that the banshee's abilities have been deviated, and the death of the body and the fall of the soul into hell are events of equal status.
It is easy to understand that death is the same as the event in which the soul is separated from the body, and the judgment of the soul is the event in which the soul leaves the real world and enters another world.
Using time intervals as a yardstick, Alice's 'seeing' nature is what happens after that.
But Alice wasn't completely without gains, as she had at least seen something in Pete's short-lived, Earthbound re-enactment of death, which he had indeed died in the fight. Although the autopsy report provided by Mrs. White can also confirm this, Alice provides one thing that Mrs. White does not know, that is, the place where the fight took place was definitely not on the street at midnight as described by police reports and eyewitnesses, but in an enclosed space.
Because Alice clearly saw Pete being pushed around and hitting the wall, there would be no place on the street where there were walls on all sides.
Alice didn't find out more, there were many factors that affected the reproduction of the Groundbinder's death, such as the possibility that the corpse could be moved, such as the Cerberus that was constantly attacking and had no body.
But it was already certain that Mrs. White's instincts were right.
Zach placed his plate on the workbench as usual, sat down at his desk, and flipped through a copy. This is the police investigation report and the forensic medical examiner's report, which Mrs. White left behind. On the cover is the name of a law firm. It seems that before deciding to turn to Grande, Mrs. White had also made an effort through Guò's normal channels.
But the result is clear, and these things are now on Zack's desk.
Zach read through the report. When White's family first found out that Pitt was missing, the case had actually been solved.
At midnight. Witness 'Jason' saw the fight on the way home and, like a normal person, he chose to avoid being threatened. But after all, he still has a moral bottom line, and after seeing that the victim was dying, he quickly returned home and called the police.
When the police arrived, the victim was dead, all the valuables such as the wallet were taken, and Pete's identity was temporarily put on hold.
Until White's father reported his disappearance, the person described matched the victim. The police notified them directly to confirm.
Jason's testimony, 'It was dark at the time, and I didn't know what it was at first, thinking it was just a couple of drunk people looking for trouble...... Then, only one was still fighting, one urging to hurry up and get something away, and another found me and warned me to get away. I couldn't see their faces. The man who had been beaten had no movement anymore and was lying on the ground. It looks as if there is no ability to resist anymore. ’
Looks like an obvious case.
It was the homicide squad that investigated the case, and Zach sighed helplessly, if it had been two days ago. He would call James directly, and although the report was detailed, it was written by a person after all, and it was impossible to confirm whether there was any concealment. But now, I guess James won't want to say a word to him.
Zach thought for a moment and looked at Kim.
Kim turned around and pointed her ass at Zach. Whatever the vampire was up to, he simply refused.
Zach shook his head with a wry smile and his gaze fell on the name of the witness who witnessed the process. Jason. It's good to start with him, if nothing is gained. Then that's just a matter of asking Chapman.
People will wonder why Zach didn't think to go to Walter or Crowley?
An encyclopedia of Sibella's network. Please allow the vampires to be a little selfish. Come to think of it, Vendall had already reached out to Walter, and as for Crowley, she had gotten enough.
The report stated the location of the crime, and Jason's address, which was not far away, and Zach decided to go and see it first.
Closing the text, Zach walked out of the office, and dinner in the dining room had just ended. Lola and Kepler were ready to leave, but Zach was not in a hurry, and the car that waited for the two girls disappeared completely into the night.
Lola already knew that Grande was not a simple funeral home, and in order to take care of the girl's feelings, it was better not to do so obviously, after all, it was just like Susan reminded before, it was easy to be suspicious when going out at night.
Calling Benjamin, the van pulled away from Grande and headed for the North End.
"Before you came back, Mel called. Benjamin was behind the wheel, and Mrs. White's interruption made him almost forget about it, and he remembered it as soon as he got into the car.
"Old Mel at the grocery store?" Zach smiled, when he came back from Ixton yesterday, he casually went to Old Mel and asked if there was a matching radio, Old Mel checked for a long time and said sorry, but promised to help Grande remember, if there was any, he would notify them, but he didn't expect the result to be in one day, "Is it so soon?"
"Yes. Benjamin laughed, "It's better than the radio, it's a complete car, the same model as this one." Seventy percent new. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Old Mel is good! where did he find it?"
Grande's requirements for the car are actually very simple, they don't care about fuel consumption or horsepower, they only care about one thing, sturdy. Occasionally catch a 'living thing' and put it in the back box, no matter how you toss, it won't fall apart. So Zach was happy to hear that.
He said it was from a friend who died young, and that his friend's son had just returned to Barton and was cleaning up his parents' old belongings. Young people are not suitable for such old vans. Benjamin was also very happy.
"We were lucky. Zach laughed, "Where's the car? Is it with him now?"
"Not yet. Benjamin looked at Zack's little hurry, smiled and shook his head. The Grand House does not have a radio because there is a television...... And the vampire's self-esteem doesn't allow him to buy a radio, so it's especially important that they have a functional radio in their exclusive car.
Zach would go around in circles and ask Wandall outside of Barton to inquire about the situation, but he wouldn't admit that he was curious about a certain band's lead singer. Childish self-esteem.
Benjamin recalled, "Uh, Wes, the name. "Just came back, he didn't have any money, and before he had a new car, he still only had that truck to drive." Old Mel told us that we could do without the intermediary fee, and let us not keep the price too low. ”
Zach waved his hand, "No problem. Grande is not short of money now, "when will we see the car." ”
"Tomorrow. Benjamin said, "Old Mel gave us the contact information, and asked that Wes to talk to us." ”
"Not bad. Zach nodded, cocked his legs relaxedly, and clicked to the beat, ignoring that his naivety had been completely exposed, humming the melody that God knows how to imprint in his head.
Benjamin doesn't break it, and the vampire is humming the famous song of a certain band.
The lyrics go like this, 'Come out, come out, wherever you are.'" Come out, come out, come to us......'
Do you remember the map of Barton City, the owl with the tail of a mouse? The rat is the West End, the owl is the North and South End, and the straightened rat's tail is the Charles River, which goes deep into the heart of the Union.
To the south of the rat's tail, there is a large wooded area. In fact, it also belongs to the city of Barton, which was deliberately reserved by those who founded the city of Barton in the West End.
This area was originally the boundary of Newton, and the woods stretched east until they were deserted. At the time of the construction of the Betsch District, the barren and wooded areas were gradually developed, and the framework of the North District was born. The original founders of the West Side, in order not to let the noise of the booming industrial process disturb them, kept this part of the woods and became the dividing strip between the two districts of the west and north as they are now.
The White family was in the cabinet business, and his factory was located southwest of Back Bay. The west side is close to the separation zone, the south side relies on the flow of the Paising River, and connects to the warehouse group around the port of Massa in the north, and the east side can directly enter the back bay and connect to the urban area to develop a sales network.
It seems that the raw materials provided by the woods, the cheap manpower provided by Paisying, and the purchasing power provided by Back Bay, the family business of White is doing well.
If nothing had happened to Pete, his life would have been smooth sailing.
Zach's destination is not White's factory, but Pete's near his home. Interestingly, instead of living in a back bay house with his parents, this guy sold an apartment on his own at the junction of back bay and paising. It's an apartment, not a detached house, and it's very close to Ogier Street, where Zach came in the afternoon.
Grande's van didn't take a long detour, but drove directly northwest after entering the North End, and when the street made up of a large number of apartment buildings, Zach turned his head sideways and watched the police cars drive south, the reason why Zack knew at once that they were police cars, because they were all blue and white patrol cars.
But the wide-open back box was stuffed with miscellaneous items, and it didn't look like he was on official business.
"Hey! Chapman!"
Chapman, who was driving the car, poked his head out, glanced at Zach, and stopped on the side of the road. The police cars also stopped, looking in Chapman's direction suspiciously.
"You go first, I, well, friend, I'll talk to him. Chapman said to a few of his colleagues.
Everyone glanced at Zach and didn't say anything, and the police cars left one by one, leaving only Chapman.
"What are you doing?" the vampire asked Chapman, who was dressed in civilian clothes and had no expression on his face, leaning against the window, smiling.
"Moving. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Where to move?"
"Ixton. (To be continued)
