8 Bisharp
"Nothing to be happy about. The man who was paralyzed, Sharp moved, and in front of him, who was almost half-reclining, a magazine in his hand was thrown away. Well, maybe Sharp meant to lose it, to show the disdain of Sharp's master, but it seemed that because his movements were too weak, the magazine only flipped over on his body and fell off the chair softly.
Bishop tried to pick it up sideways, but moved, the dark red thread that didn't appear in his vision bound his body, and as he tugged at it in a slight amplitude, it didn't move. Nothing was picked up, Bisharp failed to succeed and gave up.
"You ......" Bisharp, who hadn't looked at Riley all along, raised his eyes at this time and was stunned, "Riley, right?" Bisharp propped up his arms, as if trying to readjust his sitting position, at least not as he was now.
"It's Riley. A strange resonance continued to emanate from Riley's mouth, and a misty pink spread through the dark red space, gradually encircling Bishop, "I'm worried that Mr. Bisharp won't remember." Riley's face was shyly satisfied.
Didn't Zach remind Riley that Sharp likes women who are easy to satisfy and easy to manipulate, doesn't he?
It seemed reluctant, but Bisharp managed to sit up straight, his gaze resting on Riley's face, "Eh—" He lengthened his voice and quickly swept his head sideways at the magazine that had been dropped under the chair and had not been able to pick it up, but unfortunately it was back up, without a title, "Your magazine, Eh, Urban, Urban Legend......"
"It's a legend. Riley smiled, then raised an eyebrow, seeming pleased, "Legends seem to be better, though, because our magazines are all fantasy stories." ”
The corners of Bishop's mouth twitched, as if he hadn't managed to show a smile that he hadn't managed to show under the constraints of the dark red thread, "Yes." Yes. I just read the one you said on the phone. ”
Do you know which one Bishop is talking about? The one in the last issue of the magazine that wrote about the death of Bishop's third generation, Jackson Bishop and her female classmates, at the same time?
Remember the content? As in the usual style of "Urban Legends", the magical theme - no matter how big or wealthy some people in Barton's West Side are, they are all equal to ordinary people when they encounter the devil of death.
Riley stood up from her seat as if apologetically. I don't know if it's deliberate or unintentional, when I walked towards Bisharp, my body was a little closer to Sharp. Hehe, but no one stopped her now.
In short, Riley picked up her own magazine, and glanced at Bisharp with an apologetic face again, and her pink eyes happened to meet the other party, "That, Mr. Bisharp thinks ......"
After a brief pause. Bisharp didn't seem to mean to take his eyes away, and looked at Riley, who was leaning on a distance that was definitely not normal, "Just call me Bisharp." ”
There was less silk tied to Sharp's body, no, it was tightened and submerged into the body, and it looked less on the surface.
The pink in Riley's eyes dissipated, after all, this is Bisharp Manor, and everything is under the attention of the fierce spirit Shel. Schell became the ghost that haunted Bishop Manor. It is impossible to say that it has nothing to do with the character of a man like Mr. Bishop, think about the situation of Hayley before her death. When Riley came. Didn't you repeatedly confirm that you want Sheel to control yourself, let's take your time.
As if shyly sensing the inappropriateness at this time, Riley looked away, but still slowly got up and retreated to her seat, "Okay." ...... before Sharp," Riley glanced at the man opposite, "Sharp." ”
Bishop nodded, seeming satisfied, and a smile appeared on his face that he hadn't fully shown, "Yes." I've seen it. There's nothing wrong with what you've written, it's just a fantasy story anyway. Bischap's eyes looked away at this time, as if he thought of something bad, "Bischapf......" he changed his name in time, "My ex-wife, hmph, just looking for trouble." ”
One wonders how Riley, one of Barton's worst-selling magazine editors, could have the opportunity to 'interview' Bisharp at this moment?
The reason is quite simple, Riley's justification for coming is actually an apology. Because of the irony revealed in this article, Mrs. Bishop, who was immersed in the pain of losing her child at the time, Scheer. So when Scheer was still Mrs. Bishop, he approached the magazine and asked for a personal apology.
Unfortunately, Schell was very busy in those days, and after the funeral was Herman's luncheon, and then, it was really unfortunate. Riley, the representative of the magazine, the editor, was deeply ashamed that she should not base her fantastical spirit of curiosity on the suffering of others, and that the action that had always wanted a sincere apology had no chance of succeeding, and was conveniently dragged to the present.
Of course, none of the above things have ever happened. But it obviously doesn't matter if it happened or not, the fact is that when someone wonders why this is happening, there is a set of logic that others can understand.
What, there's a loophole in the logic?How could Mrs. Sharp see such an article in Barton's lowest-selling magazine? Then ask Zack, the owner of the Grande funeral home, who would be embarrassed to say that-
"Well, it's my fault, it's too serious when Mrs. Sharp came to Grande to arrange the funeral, and I told a joke that I saw in the magazines that didn't quite fit, and I wanted to lighten the mood, but I didn't expect it to be counterproductive. ”
Riley immediately shook her head, "It's not a problem, it's our magazine's fault, we shouldn't put the gimmick of the article on this kind of thing." Bishapf...... Mr.'s ex-wife's request is not excessive. Riley lowered her head, full of sincerity.
Bisharp seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded slightly, "Okay, a lot of things have happened in Bisharp recently, and there are a bunch of media that want to use Bisharp as a gimmick, and you are the only one willing to admit it." ”
"I'm not much of the media. Riley's face flushed a little, as if she wanted to deny it, "First...... Bisharp also saw the style of our magazine, which was to write stories. ”
"Story. Bishop shook his head as if he was smiling, "Actually, I'm curious if I tell you what happened to Bishop recently, what kind of story your magazine can come up with." ”
Riley looked at Bishop, expectant and hesitant on her face, after a moment of ink. Riley shook her head, expectant and hesitant to be sure, "Don't tell me, after all, we're not a serious magazine." If Bisharp is interviewed by the media, leave it to the real reporters. ”
Riley smiled. A little reluctantly, "There are many people in Barton who are curious about what is going on in Sharp Sharp. Hehe, our "Urban Legends" is definitely not a suitable reading to solve everyone's curiosity. "It's self-deprecation.
Bisharp glanced at Riley, still half a smile, "I just flipped through your magazine, you're a weekly magazine, right?" It's published on Monday. ”
"yes. Riley seemed surprised to know more common sense than Sharp.
"Then it doesn't matter. The smile that had not been able to be completed many times finally unfolded this time, "Tomorrow's newspaper will be before you publish it." Tomorrow there should be a report in the newspaper about Sharp these days. Hum. Curious Bartonians, let them read the newspaper. If you want to read interesting fantasy stories, read your magazines. ”
"Really?!" Riley seemed very happy, and happily quickly took out her notepad and pen from her pocket, and looked at Bishop expectantly.
"So you're all set?" Sharp chuckled and shook his head.
Riley lowered her head in embarrassment.
"Hehe, okay, I won't tease you. ”
It's weird, these two guys are just meeting for the first time. But, Riley had no intention of rebutting at all. Blushing shyly, with his head down, he held a pen and drew circles in his notebook. The smile on Sharp was becoming more and more obvious.
Zach's two suggestions, Riley used them surprisingly well. I don't know if it's the interracial characteristics of the demon, or the character of Bisharp, it should be both.
"Just. Mr. just said...... "Draw a two-page circle, as if Riley didn't open her mouth, and Sharp would keep reading it with a smile, "Tomorrow the newspaper will have a report, it's about ......"
"First came my divorce. Bisharp interrupted directly. The smile disappeared for a moment, and he looked away, "My lawyer should send a press release after processing the divorce papers, revealing some details." ”
Riley began to write in her notebook, with an inexplicable shyness on her face, and not very sincere regret, "Sir, it's a pity......"
"Hmph, I regret something. Bisharp shook his head and looked at Riley, who had all of Riley's expressions in his eyes, "After the details are revealed, I'm afraid that all curious people will feel lucky that I got rid of that woman so smoothly." ”
Riley didn't respond, her head down and quickly recording what she already knew. Five days ago, Zach, standing in front of the manor, with red eyes, instilled such a false memory in front of the few people who remained in the entire manor.
"She signed all the paperwork before she left Bishop. Family, business, anything, didn't take the same. Bisharp chuckled, "Just like that, I don't have to worry about my lawyers." ”
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, It's not a disappearance in an uncertain state, it's not a death, and it's not the fact that we all know that it has become a murderous spirit. Why is it dealt with like this, because-
"How convenient. Bi Sharp raised his shoulders slightly, and his expression could be fully displayed, but the movements were still a little difficult compared to Sharp, "Hmph." If she took something with her, or played some trick, I might have to track down where she had gone, and get back what belonged to Bisharp. Now it's not needed, she's walking clean. ”
Do you see? Death or disappearance is not the same as voluntary departure. In this way, Zach retains the old Bisharp of the two masterminds who killed Xell, and the last trace of his reputation!
Because no one is going to look for Scheer who has voluntarily left! Think about what someone can find if someone is looking for a dead or missing Shel, I am afraid that the body has been disposed of by the cleaners.
Zach was going to take Sharp over, not to break it.
"Only, is it only divorce?" Riley's voice shrunk slightly, a 'true' reflection of hearing something she shouldn't have heard, and "the ...... of the old Bishars" could only quickly change the subject.
"Oh, hehe. Bisharp looked at Riley's reaction and the strange satisfaction in her flexible expression, "Don't worry, I didn't say anything excessive, those who are curious understand." ”
Riley nodded hesitantly, "So, Bisharp, you, are you single?" Riley's point seemed a little strange.
"Hehehe. Bishop smiled again and looked at the clock in the reception room, "At this time, all the documents should have been processed and the draft has been handed out, it is confirmed." ”
Riley looked down, barely able to see the corners of her mouth curled up from behind her full cheeks, the corners of her mouth shyly.
Bisharp enjoyed this feeling for a moment, then the smile on his face disappeared, and he looked away again, "Then there is the second thing that others are curious about, and in the same way, after the lawyer has processed the documents, he will also send a press release." ”
"It's the funeral ...... of Mr. and Mrs. Bishop Sr."
Bisharp only raised his palm slightly, and interrupted Riley, "Isn't everyone aware of the funeral?" After all, it was the new maid who arranged the funeral, oh, it was the Julie who brought you in just now, although the intention was to arrange all the ceremonies secretly, but after all, she was a newcomer, and she didn't do things well, hmph, the funeral was held in Grande's place, and it was still known by those people in the West End......"
Bisharp suddenly shut up and glanced at Riley. Riley didn't seem to notice the connection between 'the funeral was in Grande' and 'it was still known to the West Enders'. He smiled comfortably and continued, "Several families also sent condolences. Hehe, you should be interested in this, Mrs. Quin sent a bundle of grass, saying that it was the soul-attracting grass in the Indian culture, hehe, I laughed to death. ”
Riley chuckled softly, too, as if she had heard something funny. But immediately, the laughter stopped, and Riley had a reddish shyness on her face, "Hug, sorry." Please sir, condolences. ”
"Nothing sorry, it's just time. Sharp's face finally had a little sadness for the occasion, "It's just a coincidence that the time of father and mother is at the same time." "Probably to add," Bisharp, we, all this time, have been a little ...... Bad thing. "The additional 'this time', please start with the Hayley incident, heh, you don't need Scheer's murderous spirit, Sharp Manor is already a murderous mansion, two old men, well, everyone understands.
Know why Sharp Manor takes time to prepare before it can reopen. Basically, it was spent on the 'time of the same time' of these two old men, and the normal death certificate of this thing, Zack was a civilian, and he couldn't open it.
Who did it prescribe? Do you remember who Mayor Anthony was friends with, and who was the chief of the North District Police Department, Cologne, the husband of Cologne's sister?
This thing is only so slow because of the human means of doing things.
With human means, not for anything else. Didn't Zach promise to Schell outside the manor five days ago to give him the mayor, no, the mayor personally participated, there is sincerity.
Oh, there's a reminder. The corpse made by the fierce spirit is because the soul mark has been ripped out and shattered, and the flesh has become an empty shell. The two old men are Schelle's first target, very quickly and serenely, let's talk about comfort.
"The second thing is not a funeral, it's a legacy. Bisharp continued. (To be continued......)
