1 Mrs. Levine and the man in overall
The man in the overfit rang the doorbell and waited for a while, and the door opened, "Mrs. Levine at XX Street, did your family postpone the plumbing repair service last time?"
"Uh......" The woman who opened the door was stunned for a moment, "yes, I'm Levine." Wait, is it postponed to today?"
"It's today. β
"Okay, okay. The woman who was called Mrs. Levine opened the door in a trance, "Please come in." "There was some ...... in the house Messy, many unopened boxes are haphazardly arranged. Mrs. Levine gave way as she pushed aside the box that was in the way, "It's the kitchen sink, and the living room turns right, just behind the dining room." β
The man in the overalls had no intention of looking at other people's homes, but he couldn't help it, so he walked all the way around the boxes to the dining room, and the table was full of plates wrapped in tin foil and plastic wrap, a very large one. What noodles, meatballs, salads, biscuits.
The man in the overalls didn't show any curiosity, he was here to work.
In the kitchen, more food fills the counter, including the sink.
Mrs. Levine trotted down the kitchen, "Sorry! it's a bit of a mess......" she pulled out the plate in the sink, "That's it, every time I use the faucet here, the basement leaks......" Mrs. Levine explained where she stood with the plate, "Well...... Well, do you need to look at the situation?"
"I need to. The overalling man nodded, gesturing with the tools in his hand, "Before I have to knock on your floors and walls, I need to know how serious the problem really is." β
"Yes!" Mrs. Levine said, still holding her plate, "you need to see ...... I should, well, put this aside for now......" said the plate in her hand.
Mrs. Levine walked around the kitchen, finding no empty place, and looked confused.
The man in the overfit frowned and glanced at the refrigerator next to him, but then looked away. Judging from the situation in the dining room to the kitchen, the refrigerator should have been full for a long time, "I'll just open it and see how it goes." Soon. The man in the overalls took matters into his own hands and turned on the faucet on the sink.
The two men watched as the water swirled around the sink, and there was nothing unusual on the surface. "The water pressure in the water seems to be fine, it should be a problem with the drain pipe, you said the leak is in the basement?"
"Yes!"
"I think it's a broken basement drain. β
"Oh!"
The two stood for a moment.
The man in the overfit frowned, "Madam, you should take me to the basement to have a look." β
"Yes! Basement!"
This Mrs. Levine doesn't seem to be in the right state, by the standards of a normal person. Forget it, the man in the overalls pursed his lips and watched as Mrs. Levine put the plate back in the sink, and then walked ahead to lead the way.
When the man in the overalls passed through the corridor, he saw a box that had not been closed, and there were a lot of miscellaneous items in the box, the most conspicuous of which was a picture frame that took up a bit of space. The man in the overalls raised an eyebrow and looked away to be quiet.
It was an old photograph, at least now when the nervous and somewhat slow Madame Levine was a young woman. She was not alone, and there was a young man next to the young woman in the wedding dress. Definitely not a man in overalls who came to fix a water pipe should know.
But in this old photo, which is obviously a wedding photo, there is a man in overalls who knows him, standing in the groomsmen behind the groom.
"Wait, wait......" Madame Levine had some difficulty opening the basement door, and she didn't seem to remember the one of the keys in her hand, which one belonged to the basement.
The man in the overfit spoke, "Madam, are you going to move?"
Mrs. Levine was stunned for a moment, "Yes, yes...... How do you know??" Somewhat frightened.
The man in the overfit glanced at the boxes everywhere, "It looks like it." β
"Oh, sorry......"
"Nothing. It's just that you know that if you're going to sell your house, the repairs are left directly to your property manager. β
Mrs. Levine was stunned for a moment, "I, I'm not going to sell the house......"
"Then you're not going to live here. The man in the overfit has no intention of directing other people's lives, but he should think of it as a good deed every day, "Obviously, you don't need the kitchen either." β
Mrs. Levine blinked, "yes......"
The man in the overalls was quiet and looked at the woman. After a long time, he was a little speechless, "You still need to pay for my attendance, just forget about the tip." β
"Yes!" said Mrs. Levine, as she began to grope around her body. I touched it for a long time, and I looked apologetic, "You go to the living room and sit down first, I, I seem to have put my wallet in the ......"
Looking at the other party's eyes looking everywhere, the man in overalls pursed his lips, nodded, and turned back to the living room without speaking. Wait patiently, with all sorts of rummaging from Mrs. Levine's side, the devil knows how long.
The man in the overalls didn't find a place to sit in the living room, hey. Glancing at the hostess who was still looking around, the man in the overfit made his own decisions, picked up a stack of papers scattered on the sofa, and sat down by himself.
It's just that the document he picked up in his hand didn't have a place to be replaced, and the man in the overfit kept the original order of the document and put it directly on his lap.
This can be regarded as the intimacy of not disturbing the original rhythm of the master's life - after all, looking back on the beginning, anyone can see that this Mrs. Levine has long forgotten about the maintenance business, so the best situation is that the man in the overalls did not come today, and no one disturbed what Mrs. Levine was originally doing at home, no matter what she was doing.
But, look at the man in the overalls restlessly raising his finger on the document, this is intimate, just pretending that he has not been thereβhe is peeking at Mrs. Levine's file.
This document is a bit heavy. It was a death certificate issued by the Grande Funeral Home, a life insurance document issued by an insurance company, and a certificate of honor issued by the North District Police Department of Barton.
The phone next to the couch rang suddenly.
The man in the overfit lowered his fingers and sat upright.
There was a chaotic sound of boxes being collided, and Mrs. Levine held her calf a little embarrassed, almost half-jumped, first gave the man in overalls an apologetic look, and then picked up the phone, "Levine." β
The voice in the earpiece β
"I'm Zachary Grande. β
The man in the overalls leaned into the ear on the other side of the phone...... Stand up. Literally erected, the tips of the ears are sharply elongated, and a layer of fluff is covered!
The short black fluff spreads over the sideburns, and when the eyebrows are almost connected, the tail of the eyebrows is raised, and the distance is a little wider.
"Gran ......" Mrs. Levine's momentary surprise was suppressed, and strangely enough, it seemed that it was fear that suppressed this surprise. She glanced sideways, and just as she turned sideways, she came over to give her a smiling overalls man. Mrs. Levine saw the patience and kindness of a polite maintenance man, and she did not see the inhuman ears on the side.
Mrs. Levine returned to the receiver and lowered her voice meaninglessly, "Sir, are you calling because there is any progress on that matter?"
"Yes. Zack's voice in the earpiece continued to reach the pointed ears, "Does Madame have time now?"
"Now?" Mrs. Levine looked back at the man in overall, and got a patient smile as she replied to the earpiece, "I ...... I ...... "Didn't answer positively!"
It's weird, isn't it, the man in the overalls will definitely not affect Mrs. Levin's itinerary...... The wallet must have been lying in that place, waiting to be found.
Mrs. Levine's way of dodging the question was to push it with another question, "Do you need me to go to your side?"
"It's not that you're here to see what I've found out. You want to know what Darcy told her husband to do that day that led to his death, right? I found the 'man' in this incident, he was still at Patton, but not for long, and if you want to know what your husband died for, this is your only chance. β
Mrs. Levin held the receiver and froze where she was.
Zach in the earpiece seemed to be waiting impatiently, "You know what I mean, if you're going to hold Darcy accountable for your husband's death, 'this man' is your only evidence." Or do you just want to know the truth and then, do nothing?"
"I, can I do it, what can I do......" Mrs. Levine's voice trembled a little, and it was too late to take care of the existence of the man in the overalls emotionally, "I have accepted their arrangement, I have also taken the insurance money, I ......"
Zach on the other side of the earpiece seemed to be confused, "Then why are you entrusting me? Just want to transfer the insurance money to me?"
"I, I ......"
"I'm sorry. An apologetic voice came from the earpiece, "It wasn't my decision. Then I, well, I'm just telling you about the progress of the commission now, 'this man' is at Barton right now, and I'm about to go to him and get the client, you, Mrs. Levine, need the truth. You can come or not. The choice is yours. β
"I ......"
"I see. Zach on the other side of the earpiece spoke, not an interruption, but Mrs. Levine who lengthened the end of 'I' and pulled it to the point of thoughtfulness before she was about to breathe, "Tomorrow I will sort out the whole incident and report it to you." Have a nice day. "The phone over there hung up. Zach on the other side of the earpiece seemed to be confused, "Then why are you entrusting me? Just want to transfer the insurance money to me?"
"I, I ......"
"I'm sorry. An apologetic voice came from the earpiece, "It wasn't my decision. Then I, well, I'm just telling you about the progress of the commission now, 'this man' is at Barton right now, and I'm about to go to him and get the client, you, Mrs. Levine, need the truth.

"I ......"
"I see. Zach on the other side of the earpiece spoke, not an interruption, but Mrs. Levine who lengthened the end of 'I' and pulled it to the point of thoughtfulness before she was about to breathe, "Tomorrow I will sort out the whole incident and report it to you." Have a nice day. "The phone over there hung up.
The man in the overfit didn't have to quickly recover his non-human ears, and Mrs. Levine, who had only hung up the earpiece, stood in a position for a few moments before making a new move.
The man in the overalls smiled when Mrs. Levine looked at her again.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. β
"I'm fine. The man in the overalls shrugged his shoulders, "I don't have any other work for today." β
Mrs. Levine walked around the couch in a bit of a daze, and continued to look for her purse.
Here's where things can be. Let's focus on Grande. Follow Grande.
The man in the overfit didn't have to quickly recover his non-human ears, and Mrs. Levine, who had only hung up the earpiece, stood in a position for a few moments before making a new move.
Men in overalls: Mrs. Levine, we go to pay attention to Grande. Follow Grande. I still smiled when I looked at it again.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. β
"I'm fine. The man in the overalls shrugged his shoulders, "I don't have any other work for today." β
Mrs. Levine walked around the couch in a bit of a daze, and continued to look for her purse.
Here's where things can be. Let's focus on Grande.
Zach put down the phone, his face full of confusion.
What's going on, Mrs. Levine's attitude is completely different from the excitement of entrusting herself after the funeral. Zach didn't think that a woman who had waited for the North Police Department's arrangements to be over and had the courage to go to her commission would suddenly change her mind.
But Zach doesn't have time to think about the psychological changes of a passerby here, and the opportunity that Zach said on the phone is indeed only now-
Bell, the inheritor of Cliff Farm, has just called Zach and says that he has made up his mind and is ready to leave Barton and return to Vega.
Zach walked out of the office, went downstairs, and glanced at the crowd of people standing in the backyard.
James and Kate were here, and they had come to say goodbye to General Reims.
General Reims had no intention of spending his honeymoon with the newlywed young man here, and was preparing to return to the west.
Along with James and Kate, there was also the director of the Southern District Police Department, Cologne, who also brought a follower, Detective Cousen.
Oh, how embarrassing it is to have this meetingβboth Cologne and Cousson are very affectionate to James, yes, intimacy, and all the intimacy they missed when they were at the North District Police Department was made up in front of General Reims.
As a result, James always maintained a 'what the hell' face, and as for General Lance, he was not much better than James, saying countless times to thank Cologne and Curson for training James, while emphasizing countless times that he still had a train to catch.
And Zach, who caused this situation, after appearing on the back porch, said, "I'm sorry I can't join your send-off procession, I still have a job." "Just walk away.
The inheritor's farm wasn't too far away, and Zach chose to walk. The idyllic scenery in spring is still good~
Not long after Zach came out of Grande, he was followed, Roy Tsmich, "If I were Lance (General), I would demolish you to your face and let Cologne and Corson know that you are not a subordinate serving the Lance family at all, and you do everything for your own selfish desires!"
"What are your selfish desires?" Zack smiled, Roy has brought Zach a lot of happiness, and it seems that this happiness can continue~
"You want to fight against Rutte Lesenbra in the struggle over everything!"
