According to normal procedure, the Grande House should be cordoned off by the police, and the injured party, the members of the Grande, should move out of the place to cooperate with the police investigation until the case is closed. But there are people on both sides who are sensible enough, and there is no need for this meaningless form to exist.

Lunch started a little late, and Wes, who was tired all over, hurried to sleep in Grande's room for two hours.

"I don't want to wake you up. Zach pulled Wes's shoulder, which was curled up on the side of the bed, and woke the young man up.

The short sleep didn't seem to have any effect, and Wes, who was woken up, had his whole face puffy and unusually pink. But he still rubbed his face quickly, sat up on the bed with his spirits, and tried his breath with very inconspicuous movements, which was not too bad. He looked at Zach, a little confused.

Weiss didn't know what was the reason for the sudden break from work that Director Per gave him a break from work. But he was really tired, and he did not pretentiously refuse the kindness of the master of Grande, and fell asleep temporarily.

Zach directly took out the newspaper in hand, folded out the Southern Side News in the corner of the social section, handed it to Wes, and said very directly, "I can help." ”

Wes's vision was not very clear, he pinched the newspaper and leaned it in front of his face, almost with the ink handwriting the size of ants, and after a while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Is this all in the newspaper?"

It seems that this guy's reaction has not fully recovered, and the focus is a little skewed. Zach took the newspaper away and looked at Wes helplessly, "Wes, I can help." ”

Wes blinked, and it was only after a while that he had a bright light. "Oh! Thank you. ”

Zach pursed his lips, uh, how could this guy be so sluggish when he was smart, and the vampire pressed Wes's shoulder, "Wes, you need to ask me for help." I can help you. You can get the idea. ”

Wes was pressed by the vampire, his eyes were a little strange, and he flickered for a long time before he reacted, "Oh, you mean James." ”

Zach curled the corners of his mouth, and the guy finally reacted and nodded, "It's James." He values you as a friend, so he warned me not to 'touch' you. Zach raised an eyebrow in a guided tone, "But if you ask, then it's none of his business, just you and me." ”

Wes frowned and subconsciously rubbed his eyes. Naturally, he shifted his gaze and seemed to be thinking about something. "Is that what you want to say about me?"

"Yes. Zach nodded bluntly, "I don't have a bad impression of Old Mel, and when you think about it, it seems like I've never done anything for this South Side that I've lived in for so long." If I can help this old man who everyone in the Southern District likes, I'd love it. ”

Wes shook his head, "It's useless. There was a sense of regret in his tone.

It may be that there is an ambiguity in this statement. Wes waved his hand quickly and glanced at Zack, "I didn't mean to underestimate you, I know I can do a lot of things. Just now, even you. There's nothing to be done, and it's too late. Yesterday we searched the eastern coastline since the afternoon, and found nothing except the children's belongings that were found on the shore and on the surface of the sea, and it was too long for Teddy to be gone. ”

"Teddy?" Wes's negativity didn't affect the vampire, "is that the name of the fat boy?" ”

Wes nodded, bowing his head in a deep voice.

Zach felt the need to broaden the worldview of the depressed person in front of him, "You said he was gone, did you mean he was dead?"

Wes looked up at Zack, frowning to indicate that he didn't like the vampire's straightforward questioning. But it's true, he nodded, and lowered his head again.

"Did James ever tell you that he was once haunted by a groundbound spirit (Ryan). Zach shook his head, "The reason is that I deliberately tricked him into using the sorcery that summons the Earthbound Spirits, so he sees things that he would never have seen. ”

Wes looked up again, still frowning, "You mean people are dead, but not really dead. ”

"Correct. Zach is actually not too optimistic, the fat boy Teddy he once met has shown that ordinary boys are clever and willful (acting in front of Zack and Matthew to deceive his grandfather), if the location of the case is on the coastline that is extremely dangerous for adults, Zach does not think that a bear child can live.

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Pelce didn't reveal anything more to me, the newspaper didn't write in detail. Zach shook his head, "But since you are all out to search, I can only speculate that your police have no reliable clues at all, so they can only use this kind of laborious and stupid method." ”

Wes listened, and he didn't refute. What Zach said was right, it was because there was no clue about the missing person that the police spent a lot of manpower and time, and they dragged it to the point where they wanted to give up now.

Zach looked at Wes, who was already thinking, and paused for a moment to give the other party time to react before speaking again, "What I can give may not have anything to do with the true sense of the perfect ending, if Teddy is really no longer a human being, I can't change anything." But I can see that things have developed like this, and I can give this disappearance a real end, for you police, and for old Mel. ”

Wes looked into Zack's eyes, thinking, he understood what Zach meant. Regardless of life or death, not finding Teddy is not the end of the event, nor is it the end. It was a failed case of missing children for the police and will forever hang over the heads of all Southern District police officers. For old Mel, there will never be an answer, a knot in the heart.

After thinking about it, Wes pursed his lips, "I want your help, whether Teddy ......is dead or not" He didn't finish, but apparently Zack didn't stir up a glimmer of hope, he shook his head, "Even if it's not the human we're talking about, I want to know the process, why it's the way it is, I want an end that can give Mel." ”

Zach nodded, turning his head with the corners of his mouth crooked, "Then it has nothing to do with James, now." Zach looked at the door of the guest room, "You need to know someone, don't care about James's prejudices, it's a demon, Mike." ”

Demon Mike appeared at the door of the guest room, smiling and waving, "Hello, Wes." ”

"Mike. Wes smiled reluctantly and nodded to the people who came in.

In the relationship between James and Wes, Grande is a landmine, and every mention of it will make James vigilant. Then the demon, a little peculiar, the mine turned into James himself, and with a slight touch, James exploded.

"We need to be objective and comprehensive. Zach smiled and looked at Mike, "The time is from yesterday afternoon to now, the range is a little wider, throughout Barton. Have your loyal dogs (Cerberus) dragged back a groundbinder named Teddy? Zach gestured, "Such a tall, fat boy." ”

In Wes's eyes, the demon named Mike lost his expression, and the inky black in his eyes surged.

Inexplicably, Wess who looked at Mike, the devil, was distracted, and now in this world, there is no heaven, only hell? (To be continued......
