It was close to five o'clock, and Barton Mayor Anthony was slumped in his car, and Gina, the beautiful female secretary, bent over with a bitter face, massaging her heels. Anthony's gaze unconsciously descended to a part of Gina that was exposed by bending over. The fatigue of the day seems to have diminished a lot......

"Keep your eyes on the road!" Anthony noticed that the driver in the front seat was looking in the same place in the rearview mirror as he did, and he sternly reminded the restless driver while reaching out in front of Gina.

Realizing her gesture, Gina straightened up shyly and covered her chest while throwing an appreciative smile at Mr. Mayor.

The mayor of Barton nodded coldly, but he was happy in his heart, "One small step at a time, build a good feeling first, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry......

Let's not judge Mr. Mayor's philosophy of conquering women for a moment, but briefly describe Mr. Mayor's busy day.

The repossession of cemeteries and the privatization of the funeral industry by the municipality of Barton, which is located in the easternmost part of the state of Massa, has been implemented throughout the state of Massa. But for the federation as a whole, this is just a trial implementation. So the governor and the two senators of Massa attach great importance to it. All day today, Anthony did a long day by dragging the two governors around the cemeteries and explaining what projects would be carried out after the land was repossessed.

Of course, in the process, the two senators, who are destined to become rivals, have very different concerns. Anthony, who was more concerned about the direction of the funeral industry, had to use Zack's South Side cemetery as an example to explain that Barton had not abandoned its traditions...... The other is more concerned about the planning and commercial value of the land......

Anthony was caught in the middle, with the illusion that the gubernatorial race had begun.

Anyway, Anthony is now relieved, he sent the two politicians away, and now he can finally go back to the town hall and rest for a while, and then he will go to the birthday party of his niece in Cologne!

"Gina, what's Cologne's niece's name?" Anthony asked, rubbing his temples, to his secretary.

Gina replied, "Lisa." Sir, is the daughter of the youngest sister of the director of Cologne. ”

"How old are you?"

"Ten years old. Mr. ”

Anthony sighed, if it weren't for his good personal relationship with Cologne, how could a ten-year-old girl's birthday party be needed to be 'present' by the mayor! Anthony looked out the window, and the city hall building had already appeared in front of him.

The driver opened the door, and after Anthony got out of the car, Gina followed him. Anthony decides to quickly return to the office and get himself drunk, and then can spend the birthday party of a ten-year-old child with a confused consciousness.

Anthony walked past the reception of City Hall and walked inside, no, Anthony looked back and looked at the two people sitting in the hall, Zach and Benjamin!

Anthony reluctantly made a 'go to the office' gesture to the two, and then directly gave Gina a vacation.

Back at the mayor's office, Anthony had just opened the cap on the whiskey bottle when the three of them pushed open the door to his office.

Three people?

Zach smiled and tucked the cap of the whiskey bottle into the mouth of the bottle, "Anthony, what we're going to say next is that we need you to stay awake. ”

Anthony frowned, and let Zach take the bottle and put it back in the wine cabinet, looking at the third person: "Who is this?" Anthony rubbed his temples, "You're the son of James Lance, General Lance!Why are you with these two men?!"

"Look, I said, you need to stay awake. Zach seemed to be familiar with the place and moved two stools, and all three sat down.

"Ugh. Anthony stared at Zack, "What's going on? He's James, isn't he? It's not a mess!"

James is now fully convinced that Anthony and Zach have a deep friendship, and James now doesn't know whether to be happy or sad......

"Benjamin, you say, you're the good guy, why did you get here?" Anthony knew that vampires liked to play with words, and werewolves were much more honest and straightforward than Anthony, who preferred to talk to werewolves.

Benjamin raised an eyebrow at Zach, and Anthony's 'compliment' was very useful: "That's James Lance, but in the last week, there were two 'James' in Barton. Specifically, please explain to the parties. ”

James looked at the ghosts and wolves around him, and then at the mayor with a stern face. He had never imagined that he would meet the mayor of Barton in such a way, and the mayor's actions and words just now were nothing more than one thing, that he trusted the other two 'people' more than General Reims'' son.

Patton is the three men, and James is just an outsider.

James took a few deep breaths, putting aside the feeling and putting the whole thing together: the shapeshifter, the disappearance, the corpse, his encounter with Zach Benjamin, David, the correspondence, the rumors...... Say it all.

Anthony's face changed several times during James's narration, and finally, he leaned back on his desk with his hands on his face: "Zach, go get my whiskey, I need a drink now." ”

"Nope. Zach shook his head, "I need you to stay awake and think like a mayor." ”

"Hey. Anthony touched his face with both hands, and his expression was really not very good. Anthony held out his right hand to James: "I'm sorry, I doubted your identity before. ”

James stretched out his right hand and shook it violently, at normal human body temperature. James had read Anthony's material and knew that he was born into the military.

"The other shapeshifter, uh, Kim, where is he?" Anthony began to think.

"He's in my trunk. Benjamin replied, "We don't want him to move around." ”

"The 'rumor' he called is somewhat credible. Anthony frowned and said, "I mean, can we trust this guy?"

James breathed a sigh of relief, and from these words, he sensed that the mayor did not want the alien race to enter Barton City!

"Full marks. Zach replied with some reluctance: "He was the first to come to Barton, he is very picky about eating and drinking, and he has a very weak sense of purpose. Zach glanced at James, meaning that he had actually let James live, "These weirdness means that he is the one who is excluded even in his own race." The alien race is not much different from the ordinary people, and people don't abandon their homes because of a rumor, but he did. ”

In other words, he could no longer stay in his original place of residence. And you, you're a vampire who can walk in the sun, and his allegiance shifts. Anthony nodded, sighed again, and asked, "Do you have any plans? I don't want my city to be overrun by the aliens!"

James noticed the phrase Anthony used to describe Zack, and it seems that Zack's reference to 'noble' in Cowson's studio has a special meaning!

"As a first step, I need to have access to the bodies that have been found before, and I need to lock on to the scent of the shapeshifters who started the rumors. Benjamin said: "Although the rumors have been released, we must at least put an end to this source first." ”

"Then why did you come to me?" Anthony asked puzzledly: "James, you have recovered your identity, you can take Benjamin with you yourself......" Anthony suddenly thought of something, and pressed his brow: "Hell, cemetery recycling, funeral privatization!"

Benjamin shrugged, and it seemed that the mayor was aware of it too.

After receiving the victim's body, the Barton Police Department will first go through a forensic examination, store evidence, and then send it to the funeral owner who once belonged to the public resources of the city government, and if it is not claimed for a long time, it will be disposed of casually.

The process hasn't changed today, but in this case, there are two things to be aware of. First, when the body was found, it had been exposed to the outside world for too long, and it was corrupted and sent to the forensic doctor for examination, and then sent to the funeral owner.

Second, the privatization of the funeral industry, the facilities that were once a public resource are privately owned, and no owner with a bit of economic acumen will keep these bodies that are destined to be degraded and destroyed for too long.

Benjamin had already transferred all the funeral homes in Barton City this morning because of the purchase of stones, and everyone had received the privatization notice from the city government, which meant that the ownerless property now stored with them had become their private property, and if it was necessary to call it, there must be a formal search warrant.

Moreover, if the funeral owners act fast enough, these resource-occupying corpses are estimated to be the first to be cremated!

Before coming here, Benjamin had gone to David's house and remembered David's scent, and now he still needed to compare the scent of the previous corpse and isolate the scent that could really determine the shapeshifter.

If you don't understand, let me explain. The smell of the shapeshifter is composed of two parts, one is the smell of the external image of the shapeshifter, and the other is the fixed smell of the shapeshifter itself, which is a special phenomenon produced by the two sets of digestive systems of the shapeshifter.

What Benjamin now gets is a mixture of David and the Shapeshifter itself, and even the real David is mixed with the smell of the Shapeshifter's gnawing. So what Benjamin needed was a different mix of scents, a contrasting way to identify the part of the scent that didn't change.

Werewolf nose, amazing, right?

"I need to call Cologne!" Anthony picked up the phone, and even though the mayor was anxious, the dial of the phone was still spinning unhurriedly. Anthony only hoped that the shapeshifter was not manipulating the phone line right now, or, he was hoping that the other party was manipulating!

After the number was played, there was a busy sound in the earpiece, yes, busy, a sound that had only been heard a lot a decade ago, but it had been ringing in Barton City for a week. A busy signal means that the other person is on a call with someone else and can't be reached. In fact, after the popularization of answering machines, this voice has long been replaced by 'please beep and leave a message'.

Now there is a busy sound instead of answering the machine, which means that 'David' is operating the communication!

"Busy, he's in the Barton Telecommunications Bureau right now!" Anthony said, looking at Benjamin.

"Good. Benjamin stood up, "Saving a lot of trouble, I'll go first." ”

"Stay safe~" Zach said to Benjamin, who stood up and moved his arms, and at the same time grabbed James, who was about to leave together: "What are you doing?
