Far from the time to leave work, James returned.

"There is no food. James walked past Zack in a daze on the back porch and added, "Human food." ”

"Nope. ”

James entered the door anyway, and went to the kitchen, and there was a rummaging sound, a little silence, and then a jingle of bells. James came out again, striding towards the living quarters.

Zach watched James enter the staff living quarters, which was a rare sight to bring a little 'life' to the now dead living quarters. After a commotion, James came out with a plate of food.

James returned to the back porch, munched on his food and looked in eye with Zach for half a minute, then sat down next to Zach and chewed his food.

Zach couldn't hold back, "Is this lunch or dinner?"

"Lunch. James replied.

Zach leaned forward and looked at the celestial phenomenon, "You lunch, it's a little late~"

"It was dinner. He easily changed his answer.

"That's too early. "Zach wasn't looking for James's stubble, he was just making an opening, and the follow-up question would be, 'Detective, why did you come back at this awkward time when it's not too early or too late?'

James glanced at Zach, "I've been bothered by your choice of mealtimes." ”

"Nope. ”

"Then don't bother me. James stuffed a large mouthful of food into his mouth, leaned back against the wall, and the plate rested directly on his stomach, looking like a waste man's baggy, only his mouth was chirping.

Zach raised an eyebrow, leaned sideways, and looked at James from head to toe, intending to draw James' attention to the image with this critical gaze.

It didn't work.

Zach tilted his head, "Are you on vacation again?"

"Nope. ”

"Leave work early?"

"It's not. ”

"Then why did you get back?"

James glanced at Zach, "Why are you sitting here alone?"

"Louise thought I was disturbing her TV. ”

"So do I. "James...... I actually rolled my eyes.

"You don't understand republican table culture?" Zach said, looking surprised...... Forget it, don't complain.

The corners of James's eyes twitched, and the rolled eyes turned back to Zack, "Wes hated me for messing with his case, so I'm back." ”

"Oh. Zach's face ...... Is it disappointment, "The case with Lydia Smith?"

"Hmph, not really. James continued to stuff food into his mouth.

"Then why are you causing trouble for others?" Zach's focus was also wonderful, "Didn't I tell you that this case is not good for you, don't get involved." In this logic, James's participation is tantamount to adding to the chaos.

James glanced at Zack in disgust, "You also said don't let Darcy feel that there is a gap in my partnership with Wes, so I guess I'm going to keep up with Wes's case." Impatient, "What the hell do you think of me, give me a word." ”

Zach blinked and looked at James again, "I don't think you're in a good mood." ”

"Your senses are really sharp. James looked away and fed food to his mouth, chirp, chirp.

"Okay. Zach adjusted his sitting posture, considered it for a moment, and decided to explore the reason for James's situation at this time with the usual literary treatment of humor, blackness, and seriousness, "The female tenant who doesn't pay the rent is bothering you, the landlady, with trivial things?"

Looking at the twitching corners of James's eyes, it shows that James is not matching Zach's humorous spirit.

Anyway, Zach started black, "Girlfriend's investigation of your father is progressing?" In the vernacular, reporter Kate's investigation into the military's abuse of power has progressed in the middle. The relationship between the interests of James, Kate, and General Lance cannot be distorted anymore.

Do you see the bruises on James's forehead, which means......

Zach was anxious to make more tricks on James's face, and he was tired of seeing both of the above, "Vega's side, the historic social change event has reached an impasse again?"

Jean Zach ...... also disappointed everyone, James's facial expressions couldn't play other tricks.

Not to mention that the corners of his mouth can still skim this kind of words, at this time, James's mouth was intently spraying food scraps in Zack's face: "What are you ** talking about?!Historic social change event?!Are you sick!Innocent people in Vega City...... "The twitches and tendons in the corners of his eyes are repeated," ...... And the aliens are being executed by a bunch of crazy people!!And you're still talking like some glorious deed here!!"

Zach calmly reached out for his handkerchief and wiped the filth off his face. It's going well, and the three options that I thought of that could affect James's mood were in the last one, serious, and hit. After cleaning up his appearance, Zach spoke, quite calmly, "I don't think I mean praise." Zach shoved the filthy handkerchief into James's pocket, "You wash." "History is not all good, and change is not always successful." I have an objective attitude towards the events in Vega City. ”

"Oh, you call it objectivity!" said James, as if he had been annoyed.

"Is your attitude objective now?" Zach smiled with James, "Hehe, you're a police detective, and you're automatically on the side of those victims, so you can't even accept an objective evaluation of the actions of those perpetrators." ”

James stared at Zach, just staring, without saying or expression. This is understandable, and I hope you haven't forgotten that James's real growth happened after he was in the dual role of victim and perpetrator.

Zack's words are just reminding James that the current James should see the big picture.

Zach gives James time to think, and Zach is not prepared to help James explain that James needs to be on his own.

The results are gratifying.

James looked away from Zach as he sat up straight and set aside the plate in his hand. Take a deep breath, "You're right, the events that happened in Vega are a social change. ”

Zach nodded, satisfied.

James stared ahead, the staff quarters, "The murderers, from the alien families who adopted human children, to the humans who formed families with the aliens, they targeted the relationship between the alien race and the humans. "It was uncovered by Mr. Frank Gilberg's unintentional comment, isn't it~ "The relationship between aliens and humans is Vega's society." Those murderers are not crazy people who kill aliens and kill humans, they are anti-social, anti-Vega, anti-vampire society created by the devil. James continued to stare at the living quarters, "and anti-social, a word that can only be considered pejorative, is considered pejorative when society is accepted as approaching ideals." ”

Not bad~ Zach wouldn't have praised James for being proud of him or something, but a small celebration can have-"It can be said that a third of the uprising was successful." ”

James's gaze returned to Zach's face, "In exchange for change, the uprising is a compliment." ”

"Listen to you~" Zach smiled, "a third of the changes were successful." ”

James continued to look at the living quarters. If you look at the living area before, there may still be some symbolism, but now you look at it, I just don't want to see Zach laughing, "The part of success is still your contribution." ”

Facts ~ Rute Lesenbra's secretary, Lily, knows that she lost her own child because of Zach ~

"If I don't 'contribute'. The corners of Zack's mouth remained curved, but there was no expression in the rest of his face, "They killed nearly 100 alien families with human children in the Republic of China, and the result was the same. To the west, the city of Vega is a one-third representative of interracial human social relations. ”

The topic is clearly advancing.

James frowned, "I thought about what you asked Wes to tell me (on the phone). James took another deep breath, "You said that human children are because they have no choice but to be assigned by the social system and enter a foreign family, so those people didn't kill children." This is the part of society that passively builds relationships with aliens. The killing of human beings who have voluntarily formed partnerships with aliens is the initiative to establish relationships with aliens. How do you divide your one-third?"

Zach replied, "Is your friendship with Wes passive or active?"

"Of course, friends are in an active relationship. James pouted as a matter of course.

"Really?" Zach smiled and shook his head, "Did you find each other through the crowd~"

James had to look back at Zach again, "What do you need to say so disgustingly!"

"Heh, it's necessary. Zach smiled, "Your relationship, strictly in essence, you are just colleagues." Zach and James glanced at each other and turned away together, "Society allocates various social blocks to the people who live in them, such ......as work, study, and entertainment," Zach waved his hand, and the meaning was there, "A block with some kind of interest as the core." And the relationships that are built in such blocks are friends. ”

James pursed his lips, he couldn't refute Zach's words, but he ...... Don't want to admit it-

It's simple, 'This is my colleague (classmate, just met).' ''It's my friend at work (school, occasional get-togethers). ''This is my friend. Who in our lives hasn't changed someone's name in such an advanced way?

Now think about it, did we and this person find each other through obstacles...... Evil.

"The relationship isn't deep enough for people to want to start a family...... "Zach tilted his head at the thought of something, "or not being able to start a family." Zach shook his head, putting aside distractions, "But not so shallow that one side doesn't care about the other's life or death." This is the most common relationship between people in society. It starts from the social block planned by the society for people, and grows up passively. Zach paused deliberately, presumably because he thought the epilogue was very 'philosophical', "Sustain on, take the initiative." That's the third part. ”

James's face darkened, and his whole body tensed, "Friends??*! How many innocent people and aliens will this relationship affect?!"

"Maybe a little is pitiful, and a lot is pitiful. Zach pouted, "But you're right about one thing, innocent, the relationship between friends is not precisely defined, so there will definitely be innocent people or aliens who become victims even in the standards of those antisocial murderers." ”

"*!" James had clearly lost his objectivity. But don't criticize him for anything, he should be like this, Zach said, he's a police detective, he should be on the victim's side, no matter what he understands.

Zach gave James a moment to adjust his mood, "So~" The tone was as relaxed as possible, "Is Vega's stalemate again?" "Back to what made James feel bad.

"Stalemate, huh. James hunched over and stared at the ground, "There's a call from Vega Police Station in the morning asking you to find another way to stop the murder from happening." ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Vega Police Department has admitted that my method prevented a murder in an interracial family with a human child?"

What this means is:

The murder didn't stop, didn't it, not only the aliens were murdered, but the humans were murdered together. So according to common sense, it is not the method given by Zach to blame - letting social service agencies evacuate human children in alien families not only did not solve the case, but made the case serious. That's the right logic, isn't it?

But Vega Police Department continued to let Zach come up with ideas, apparently not to blame, but to approve of Zack's methods...... This case has been analyzed by us into social change, so let's get straight to the point - it recognizes Zack's judgment of the murderer's intentions, goals, and objectives. will continue to let Zach play.

"What else can I do but admit it?, will I beat you?!" James glared at Zach, "And now humans are being killed! Before, Vega Police Department was only under pressure from Mayor Lesenbra, but now?real pressure!They need to stop this case! Really stop!!"

Zach pursed his lips, "Okay, but obviously it's impossible to force a couple to divorce right away. ”

"You're still in the mood for a joke!!"

"I'm not kidding. Zach looked at James, "The goal of change is the relationship between the alien race and the human. If you want this change to stop, you can either let them succeed and the relationship between humans and aliens will be interrupted. Or, let them fail. Zach smiled, "But there is not a single suspect in the Vega police station now, you say, why did this change fail......?

In the last sentence, Zach was joking...... But......

James and Zach looked at each other together.

The staring lasted until they both began to feel embarrassed, and then—

"No, James......"

"I'm going to find Madison......"

Both sides spoke at the same time.

Then the awkward gaze continued.

After a moment of embarrassment on both sides, Zach and James turned the corner together.

Zach opened his mouth first, "Go ahead, I know I can't stop you." ”

"Yes. James really stood up, "I'll come back for dinner." ”
