It could be a Sunday relationship, it could be an 'angel', it could be a conversation with Sibella. Zach always had a feeling that something was going to happen today.

And what we know, every time Zach has this hunch, it is fulfilled. This time, there will be no exceptions.

Afternoon.

When Zach heard the siren, the first people to appear in Grandri were neighbor Poch Quinn's wife and children, Munn and Andrew, "Sbella is dead." ”

"What?" Zach blinked.

"I don't know what the situation is, but Poch said the police have talked to him and will come to you next. It seems that the police are recalling what Sbella did before she died. ”

"Wait. "If someone dies suddenly and it becomes a case that needs to be handled by the police, the police will go back to the deceased's life, which is normal, but why did the police look for Pochi? Why did they look for Pochi?"

"Oh, because the other day Sbella went to the sanatorium for a psychological evaluation. Muen reminded Zach, "You know, she went on the phone after informing you of the vampire blood to create a republic, and stayed in a sanatorium for a day while you and your Tsmich henchmen killed wizards in the Tower of Babel......"

"Uh, thanks. Zach already knew the timeline, "Thanks for the notice, it's time for you to go back, you can't stay here when the police come." ”

"Yes. The neighbor who was talking left Grande and waited for half a minute before a parallel police car drove into Grande.

Zack stopped the police car together and gave up his choice - both cars Zack was familiar with, one was James's and the other was Curson's. Although no one has yet told Zack the details of the case, Zack has guessed that the place where the case occurred should be at the junction of the north and south districts, and the police in the two districts still disagree about the location of the case.

Getting out of James's car was Wes, who was younger, and moved more quickly to stand in front of Detective Curson and stand in front of Zach, "When James was on vacation, I drove his car. ”

It's wasted, Wes grabbed the opportunity to explain the boring stuff. Detective Corson followed with a glance at the living quarters staff who had already noticed, more sensible than Wes, "Mr. Grande, can we go to the office and talk?"

Zach nodded, and gave way to the two detectives who were not involved in the competition, both of whom were extremely familiar with Grande's construction anyway. He followed the two of them upstairs.

Upon entering the office, Zach looked at the two acquaintances who were sitting down together, "Is there anything I can do to help you?

Curson preemptively handed a document to Zack, "Sbella Corden, do you know the name Mr. Grande?"

"I know. Zach flipped through the papers, then immediately closed them, and it was not a comfortable experience to see Sbella lying in a pool of blood, "She's been to Grande today. Zach said something that he was sure to be honest with the detective now.

Zach was actually reminiscing about the case when James and Cousson were still partners. The reason for recalling this is that Zack wants to make sure that Curson and Sbella have crossed paths.

We may have Zach as the center, and we saw all kinds of people or things in Barton, and felt that Zack's personal social network was complicated and headache-inducing. But we must not take this abnormal social relationship as common sense. We have to be clear that many people in Zack's network have no intersection with each other.

Of course, Zach only recalls this way because of Cowson's relationship, and Wes has no scruples in this regard.

This is probably the relationship that Wes is keeping silent about now - Wes is also afraid of saying something to Zach that shouldn't be said and attracting the attention of Detective Curson.

"Yes, we already have intelligence on this. Detective Corson seemed to be weighing his words, "Sir, may I tell you why Sbella came to visit Grande?"

"Ahem. Wess posed as a thinker in his seat.

It's a stark reminder, it's just ...... Zach needs more information than 'ahem' to judge what Wes is trying to say!

It doesn't matter, Zach isn't going to be stumped by such a trivial matter. With an impatient face, he pushed back the information that Curson had just handed to him, "We are all acquaintances, so let's skip some unnecessary police procedures." "It was intentional, of course," someone died, and troublesome cases were born. Pointing to the two different police detectives, "And I can help you." In three sentences, Zach turned the object of his police interrogation into a provider of help. The fourth sentence, "There are some things you have to admit that James Lance is better than you, he never tells me all that bullshit rules and procedures, he just says what he has." ”

If the first three sentences are still worrying about the two detectives, the fourth sentence can definitely resonate with them.

The first to act was Weiss. Wes pouted a helpless Curson and leaned forward first, "Zach, did the deceased (Sbella) come to Grandry to arrange a funeral?"

"If yes. Zach was observing Corson's expression, "You need a search warrant before I can tell you." This is required by law. ”

Curson's helpless face turned irritated, "I told you!" was said to Wes, as if complaining.

Wes ignored Curson and continued to say to Zach, "We know your relationship with the dead. "This should be what Wes was trying to remind Zach just now, "Alice Grande used to live in the Sbella family before she was officially adopted by you and Benjamin's father, Grande Sr., and these are in the Alice file of the city government. ”

"Oh. Zach raised an eyebrow, thanks to Wes for the reminder, he really forgot about it when he recalled it just now.

Weiss continued, "We know that the deceased had a special personal relationship with Grande, but this personal relationship is not important now, what matters is Sbella's itinerary for the past few days. Wes was quite kind, glanced at Cosen, and handed the conversation to Cosen.

Curson shook his head, probably because of the feeling of being given a handout, picked up the materials that were returned by Zack, and flipped to the end, "The deceased Sbella has visited the nursing home in the South Side, the Grande funeral home, and Benjamin's outdoor goods rental shop (Zumen Office) in the past few days. Then, at noon today, the bus driver was forcibly stopped on the way back to Paisying, and got off at the junction of the North and South districts. "Flip to the front and look at the death photo that Zach just saw," was found dead on the side of the road by the bus driver who passed by. ”

Corson closed the information and looked at Weiss, "The Southern Police Department's judgment is suicide because we found a lethal tool on the body. A photograph taken from the profile was handed back to Zach. When Zach looked at it, Corson said in a tone that he didn't know how to evaluate, "The traditional style of sacrificial daggers in India, recently Paisying was preparing for the carnival, and the deceased Sibella was one of the planners of the carnival, and this dagger will be one of the items on display in the cultural exhibition." When Zach returned the photo, "it has been sent to the North District Police Station for examination, and there is no trace of use by a second person other than the deceased himself." It's suicide. ”

Oh, Sbella killed herself.

But right away, Wes glared at Detective Corson, "It's not a suicide. "Wes, as a homicide detective, is very good for saying this," and the exhibits that will be on display at the Paiss Carnival will be mostly donated by the late Mrs. Quinn, in addition to the residents of In'an who lived in Pais. ”

Mrs. Quinn, in such a situation, was brought up. Zach looked at Wes, not knowing where the words would go.

"The North District Police Department has always received ...... from the management committee of the Paiss Carnival" Wes's face wrinkled and looked at Zack seriously, "Yes, this committee exists, and it is registered with the city government!" Uh, it kind of answered a point that made Zach inexplicable, and then continued, "We've been getting calls from the committee, and their collection has been vandalized by some malicious elements. Some members also received malicious threats of intimidation, and there were death threatening letters in Sbella's home. Wes's face was a little bad, "But after several investigations, the North District Police Department has not caught any suspects." Wes shook his head, "We at the North Police Department think that the gang of malicious elements attacked the deceased. Sbella was murdered. ”

After listening to Zach, he had a question, "Why would anyone intimidate the preservation of Indo-Ann culture...... Uh, the committee?"

It was Corson who answered, "What can be the reason, some people can't see that the price of Paising's land has risen because of the appearance of last year's carnival." Pai Siying's main focus is the Indoan culture, and those people naturally attack the Indoan culture. ”

This is quite a ridiculous statement, but to Zack's surprise, Weiss actually agreed, "Zach, more and more Federation Westerners are coming to Barton!"

That's the point, isn't it?

Zach opened his mouth, and before he could speak, Cowson took the lead, "I said that you people from the west are sick!" "What Coulson said about you should be the North District Governor Daxi, and Weiss, who is half a Westerner, "I have also heard of social discrimination in the West, the Indoans have no status and no money, right, but I'm sorry, we Barton don't have such boring social rules, all the citizens who live here in us, as long as they are legal citizens, are equal!"

"Detective. Zach raised his hand and gestured to Corson, "I've been to Vega in the west, and I've experienced the oppression of the Indians in the western society. "Actually, Zach hasn't seen the life of the Indians in the west, but that's the point, isn't it, Zach has been in Vega City for so long, and he hasn't seen a single Indian!" ”

Corson was still shaking his head, it seemed that the middle-aged man's unwanted murder was still there, "It makes sense, it makes sense, Barton is becoming more and more attractive to the city, and more and more people from all over the Federation are coming to Barton! And then these people live in Barton with their own opinions! These people just have some stubborn social prejudices and can't see some things! So what?"

Wes looked at Corson with a wrinkled face, "Someone died, or was someone very important in Barton's Indo-Ann cultural circle murdered!"

"Murder is just your conclusion, isn't it?" Corson was not ready to back off, "You just said that she has been under threat in front of her, and then she got some psychological pressure and came to the nursing home in the South End for a psychological evaluation......"

Zach raised an eyebrow and didn't interject, because now Zach knew he was about to hear what the two detectives had said to Pochi Quinn.

“...... You've heard it before, the nursing home rejected Sbella's application for admission to the hospital......"

Zach didn't show any emotion, but remembered that Pochi had said that 'Sbella was not a patient in a nursing home'. Of course, the context of Poch at that time was that the souls of those wizards were not patients in the sanatorium, so Zach should not ask him if he was looking for someone.

“...... Then the deceased, who had nowhere to relieve their stress, returned home still under threats and work pressure. Corson said with a look of conviction, as if this was what was going on in front of Sbella, "and decided to commit suicide to relieve herself, and she came to the Grande Funeral Home, with whom she had a personal relationship, to arrange her own funeral, in order to satisfy her last fantasy of graceful death." Curson suddenly looked at Zach, "All we need is Grande's master, our Mr. Zachary Grande confirmed to us that the deceased did prepare the funeral in advance, my reasoning is correct, the case is over, this is suicide!"

Hmph, it turns out that this is Coulson's purpose.

Zach didn't respond right away, and it wasn't too late, Wes: "Is there anything in your reasoning about her going to Benjamin's outdoor store?" Wes's tone was a bit of a raise, but the meaning was quite objective, "Did she go to inquire about a place where Benjamin could gracefully greet death? After all, who wants their body to lie on the street and be watched by the passengers of the whole bus?"

Corson folded his arms and leaned back in his chair and stopped talking.

Zach thought for a moment, "Wes, can I talk to Detective Cousson, alone?"

"Zack......" Wes saw Zack's eyes, gave up saying anything more, and got up to leave the office.

"Detective Cousson. Be honest with me. Zach spoke up after the office door was closed by Wes, "Why do you want this case to be a suicide? I can tell you right now that Sbella didn't talk to me about the funeral, your reasoning is naïve and extremely irresponsible, you're not such a detective." Zach saw that Curson's face was unnatural, so he added, "But if your reasons are convincing enough for me, I will cooperate with your reasoning, and I am even willing to help you convince Benjamin that Sbella did go to Benjamin for a suitable place to commit suicide." ”

Detective Corson exhaled a long breath after taking a deep breath, not relaxed, on the contrary, heavy, "Because of Darcy." ”

What the hell? Jean Zach replied unprepared, "What does Director Darcy have to do with this case?" because Corson complained about the people from the West just now?

"We don't want to deal with this case at all. Corson replied, "After the case happened, our Southern District Police Department directly sent the case to the North District Police Department. Corson looked at Zach, "We're busy right now, busy expanding the Southern Police Department. That's what Zach knows, preparing for the future of the Southside. Heh, the resources that the Southern District Police Department has now obtained are still Zack's help to get, "So there is a disputed case in the jurisdiction, and we can't wait for the Northern District Police Department to investigate!" This is sincere, but it will come immediately, "But the handover is done, Darcy suddenly called a halt and forcibly stuffed the case into the hands of our Southern District Police Department." ”

Guess what, Darcy heard that the deceased was the wizard Sbela, which made a hot potato that the inheritors from the west did not dare to touch was thrown by Darcy to the Southern Police Department.

Zach asked, "What about Wes?" The fact is that Wes is here, investigating the case.

"Huh. Corson rolled his eyes, "Like I said, the results of the murder weapon test are enough for us to conclude that the case is a suicide, and we just sent the case report and were about to close the case, this Wes Detective was parachuted, and I have no idea what that Darcy in the North District is up to." Cowson's face was suddenly full of malice, understandable, the death of Detective Levine, coupled with the current reversal, it is strange that Cowson has a good impression of Darcy, "But since the North District Police Department is led by such a guy, then I'm here, don't expect me to back off!"

So the fact is that Coulson used private feelings, which led to the naivety of the reasoning of the case.

Zach pursed his lips and didn't reply, "I'll talk to Wes, alone." ”

Curson got up, and without saying much, opened the door and called Wes, who, like Wes, closed the door.

Zack's first question, "Are you sick?" Uh, so direct, Zach also lost his cultivation, "Sbella is probably enjoying non-human life somewhere now, and what good will it do Darcy to convict the case as murder to the North District Police Department?"

Wes's face was a bitter frown, "Sibella is enjoying an inhuman life. But not somewhere, in my house! I wasn't sent by the North District Police Department, I was forced to come by Sbella!"

Oh, dear wizard Sbella, what do you want?
