Chapter 10 Results
Both cars arrived at the Grande House at the same time, and Benjamin was already waiting at the door, somewhat surprised to see James, Zach, and Telecom's people arrive at the same time.
James didn't get out of the car, and after waving goodbye to Fitz, he watched Zach lead the people into the Grande House and leave.
Fitz and James are familiar because of David's case, and the two detectives, Curson and Lance, have secretly protected him. For the stranger he just met, although he is also a friend of James, he is still in a nervous and unsociable state, similar to Alice.
Seeing that Zach is back, Benjamin will no longer take care of things and let Zach deal with it.
The new phone still had to be loaded into the office, and Zach brought Fitz into the office with a large bag on his back, and watched Fitz start measuring in the office, and the vampire pulled a bottle of red 'wine' directly from the bookcase and poured it.
"Would you like to have some?" Zach asked, looking at Fitz and raising his bottle.
"No, no. Fitz smiled stiffly, "You can't drink alcohol at work." ”
Zach smiled and nodded, "How many days can it be installed?"
"I'll get it done tomorrow. Fitz thought for a moment, "It's just a bit of a hassle to pull the strings around." ”
"Oh. Zach nodded.
The South Side is different from the North Side, and the buildings in the South Side are very far apart, and it does take some time for the telephone lines to be pulled from a distance. In particular, Grande is still on the edge of the city of Barton, and ten minutes further south by car enters the woods on the border of the two cities, which is where Benjamin was transformed.
Zach gave up his office, let Fitz work, and made his own restaurant. After a while, Benjamin, who didn't seem to have much to do, arrived.
"Have I seen this guy anywhere?" the werewolf was in good spirits after catching up on sleep.
"He's Fitz. Zach replied.
"Oh. Benjamin nodded abruptly, he had seen Fitz's picture on the clue wall of Curson, and he looked at Zack, "Did you find anything in the morning?"
"A phantom has been found," if there was still suspicion in Daniel's apartment, after seeing the state of his neighbor, it was confirmed, "but he is missing." Zach took another sip, stretched comfortably, looked at Benjamin with a bored face, felt it, and found that the breath of the young wolf was no longer at the Grande House, "Where's Matthew?"
Benjamin frowned, "Give him a holiday, his father is injured." ”
"What's wrong?" Zach asked, honestly, he didn't care.
"He had a fall and the injury on his back had recurred. Benjamin replied casually.
"Poor fellow. Zach raised an eyebrow and narrowed his eyes, "You can sue him, my blood can heal all injuries." ”
"I said it. ”
Zach almost squirted food in his mouth. Benjamin's approach to education is something really special, not starting from the origins, but a very practical 'applied' technique, which is very avant-garde.
Benjamin looked at Zach with a ridiculous look of reproach and smiled, "He refused." ”
Zach was really surprised this time, "Why?"
Benjamin thought for a moment, "His exact words: 'If my father had healed from his injury, he would have thought about going back to work, and then he wouldn't have been lucky enough to just get hurt.' Benjamin glanced at Zach, "So you'd better give him a little more extra money this time." ”
Zach felt Matthew's words carefully for a moment and blinked, "I will." ”
The topic was a bit heavy, and Zach thought for a moment, "How did his father fall?"
"The porch of the church was rotten, and when the service was done, when the crowd left, it collapsed. Benjamin thought about what Matthew's mother had said when she came.
Zach frowned and was silent for a while, "The altar of the Church of the Holy Son to our west has also collapsed. In the morning, the second floor of Mary's Church in the North District also collapsed. ”
"It's not all. Benjamin smiled, "When you didn't come back, the client who was supposed to be at the funeral this afternoon called, and it seemed that he wanted to book back to our side of the church. ”
Zach sensed a hint of accusation in Benjamin's tone, apparently because the vampire hadn't told Benjamin that Benjamin's afternoon schedule had changed, and the werewolf had dragged out the frozen half-decomposed corpse in the basement and put it in the coffin...... It's not a pleasant job, especially for Benjamin, who has a keen sense of smell.
"Huh. Zach chuckled dryly, "I decided to go out with James on the fly." ”
Benjamin waved his hand, "Forget it, but the same accident happened at the church on the West End, what do you think?" Apparently the customer's complaint on the phone earlier revealed something.
Zach frowned, "Is this like this in every church?"
There are seven churches in Barton. There are two churches in the North District, the largest of which are the Church of the Virgin Mary, and the smaller Monumental Chapel. There are two in the south side, the popular gospel church in the east, and the church of the Son of Atonement, which is further west of Barton Prison, so although it is a church that no one cares about, it carries a very heavy theme.
The West End is the smallest, but because of the peculiar composition of social classes, the West End has the largest number of churches, with four, but they are all ordinary gospel churches, but they are located in different areas and different sizes.
Of course, in addition to these real independent churches, there are small prayer rooms in hospitals and some special occasions, which are not really churches according to the size of the church.
"Tomorrow the newspaper should be able to see it. Benjamin didn't want to discuss the absolute, and continued, "What do you think it is?"
"What is it?" Zach pouted, "Who's going to move the church?" The vampire shook his head, he didn't have a clue.
Fitz knocked on the door of the dining room and said to the two chatters, "Mr. Grande, there's a phone." ”
Zach nodded and headed for the office, while Fitz stayed outside and waited, a very understanding guy who the Great Dane and Corson knew best.
Benjer beckoned to Fitz for the Ming Dynasty, "Come here." ”
Fitz leaned over a little timidly, to be honest, he had never seen such a strong man, and if he wore the straitjacket in the comics, he would be like those muscular superheroes.
"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Grande?" asked Fitz, nervously.
"It's nothing, let's talk. Benjamin smiled, but he thought about the scene when he bit the throat of the other 'friend', "I heard James say, you like to play Dungeons & Dragons, what role do you like to play?"
Fitz breathed a sigh of relief, he already knew that James was friends with the brothers of the Grande House, and Benjamin asked about something that interested him, and relaxed a little......
In Zach's office, there are tools and small parts on the ground, half of the carpet has been lifted, and the new line has been placed next to the old telephone line, extending all the way to the wall and piercing.
Zach picked up the phone that had been ringing, "Grande House, is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Quest. The voice of a man in his thirties came from the earpiece, "My brother hasn't woken up!Where did you find him?!Did he get hurt in any way?!"
Zach pursed his lips and poured his 'wine' again: "Mr. Quest forgot that we don't answer the question? You want to find Neil and Daphany, we find it." ”
"No!" the man on the other side of the receiver suddenly became irritable, "this is so irresponsible! What is this?!I don't even know what happened to them!"
Zach didn't want to admit that he didn't know, and said calmly, "So Mr. Quest wants to give a new commission?"
The person behind the earpiece seemed to take a big breath, like Zach had said something incredible. It's really incredible, Zach is like an unscrupulous businessman at this time. You think the packaging of the biscuits looks good, you want to buy it, you pay for it, but he only gives you the box, 'Didn't you buy it because of this box?' Come, give you the box.'" ’
Zach didn't wait for a response, and began to ask rhetorically, "Did Mr. Quest have a physical examination for your brother and his wife?"
"I did. The other party calmed down a little.
"The result?" Zach guided.
"Everything is normal, there are no injuries on the body. But they're still unconscious!" the other man became agitated again.
"I can tell you some. Zach thought for a moment, "The process of finding them was very fortuitous, and when we found them, they were like this. I'm surprised that I haven't woken up by this point, but I'm not a doctor, and if Mr. Quest wants them to wake up, he should follow the doctor's instructions and not vent to us. ”
There was silence for a moment on the other side of the earpiece, "I also want to know what they went through!"
Zach raised an eyebrow, "As a curiosity, I want to know too, but I really don't have anything to tell you." ”
"And where did you find him?!"
"I said it came out of nowhere, can you believe it?" Zach grinned.
"Shit!" the other party burst into a foul mouth, and after a big gasp, "Okay! Count you out! I'll entrust you! Continue to investigate! I want to know everything!"
This is a 'beautiful' misunderstanding, and Quest obviously thinks that Zach is trying to catch the clues he has already mastered, eat the second commission, and prevent Quest from taking the clues to other competitors!
Zach frowned, Grande is not a detective agency, Grande is a special 'organization' that only provides results. The other side wants to know 'everything', which is not in line with Grande's purpose.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Quest, but I don't accept this commission. Zach said calmly, "I'm not hiding clues, I'm telling the truth." As to whether my words are credible, you may consult Detective James Lance of the Barton Police Department, a responsible police detective who was also present when they were found last night. ”
"Who?"
"James Lance. Zach repeated, "If Mr. Quest, after knowing the truth, wants to have other commissions that only lead to the results, we welcome them." But we don't accept this kind of thing that requires a process. ”
"What? What do you mean......
Zach hung up.
