Chapter 11: 'We'

Because the office was to be given to Wells, who would come at any moment, James was taken to Benjamin's warehouse, and the newly sleeping werewolf was woken up by the vampire, wrapped around a blanket, and sat crooked on his bed. The scattered Wen Jiàn squeezed the big werewolf in the corner, and his half-awake eyes revealed a trace of confused grievance, looking at James who disturbed his rest.

Werewolves are not like vampires, who can change their routines at will with a glass of 'wine'. Sleepy people are still sleepy even if they eat food, and the same is true for werewolves.

"Let's start with this suicide guy in your Southside, Chris Aven......" James had two dark circles under his eyes, which he achieved in two days and one night. These were far beyond the scope of his and Curson's real work, so he had to use his own time to investigate.

"Thirty-two years old, I have been living alone before, and recently I suddenly have a fiancée......"

James is interrupted by Zach. Last night, the vampires had heard the intimate stories of all the suicides from the mouths of hundreds of walking corpse 'talkie-talkies', and there was no need for James to continue wasting time on them. Zach waved his hand and said impatiently, "Focus." ”

"Well, here's the point!" the fatigue on James' face disappeared, and he had a focused excitement as he got to work, he pointed to the circled mark on the information, "He works in the construction industry, this is the project he's working on recently, at the junction of the North and South Wards of Barton, which is the cemetery where [Ford Funeral Home] used to be!"

James handed the information to Zack, and when he handed it to Benjamin, he looked at the werewolf's trance-like eyes and forced it into his hand: "Then, look here," the detective pointed to another marker, "This is the building material used in their project!"

"Yuri?" Zach glanced at him, "and then?"

"And this!" James quickly pulled out another piece of material that had been marked. Zach had already recognized the name on the profile as another suicide, and Papa had cheated the guy out of his contract with a promotion at midnight.

But this has nothing to do with James's investigation, Zach knows the benefits that every suicide person obtains by breaking the rules, this is their 'story', but it is not the focus of James's investigation, James wants to find out the connection between these people, and then locate the person who recruited these speculators for Papa Midnight.

The place marked on the document states that he is the shipper of Yuri's building materials. Zach juxtaposed the two documents together and seemed to see a connection buried in numerous lines.

"And then there's this!" James pulled out another piece of information, and Zach looked at the name, which was the person James should be investigating for his real job, the man who committed suicide in his own kitchen, that is, the guy he was confirmed by his colleagues to have been hijacked during working hours: "He works in the port of Massa!

"Building materials. "Zach took the information from James and found the 'Yuri Building Materials' marked with a marker in a list of callers. Zach nodded, and the clues were getting clearer.

The three of them don't live together, don't work together, and don't even know each other at all, but because of an engineering project, they are connected together, maybe it's just a coincidence, but there are eight suicides, and James's achievements are not over.

"And these!" James pulled out a few more documents, laid them out on the bed, and pointed to the place that had been marked: "Look, this man is not directly involved in the project, but he lives in the Paisian district near the construction site. This person is the warehouse manager of Massa Port, and I checked his place of work, which is only two corridors away from Yuri Building Materials. This man is a ...... of the Barton Building Materials Audit Bureau"

Still finished, James pulled out a crumpled piece of paper with these names written on it.

"I've looked for the Tempests, and here's the list they gave them. James was a little vague when he said this, and it was to be expected that there were several names on it that were about to be added to the list of suicides.

James once again came up with some documents that were obviously not as formal as before, obviously not the police records of the case, but the results of his own investigation. He overlaps the marked place with the text on the bed. It's like under a trunk, the branches begin to spread. When the social attributes of all the suicides are spread out, it is really impossible to see the connection, but once there is this main line of James, the Qiē division seems so even.

Perhaps the city of Barton is lucky, if the people who connect the three points are still alive, then the main line cannot be connected, and this qiē is still random scattered sand.

Zach looked at the information with satisfaction, but James frowned. These suicides were actually driven by the Tempests, who relied on Celebra Tempo's sixth sense for people who used witchcraft......

And this sixth sense, as can be seen from the incident where the two of them ran to James's house and attacked him, is surprisingly reliable. But if you put all the people who committed suicide together, you can see that the Tempests are randomly casting their nets, and then looking for the spots they hit in the nets, and then spreading from the dots to all sides. The fact that the police are investigating the suicide and found James who has nothing to do with the incident can only prove that their actions are completely by luck and there are no substantive clues.

Although with James's trunk, the Tempest couple's actions have a clearer goal, but from the time point when the suicide occurred in the first place, it is no longer possible to tell which part of the backbone was derived from!

Zach patted Zach on the shoulder, "You've done a great job." ”

"No, it's not enough!" James clenched his fists, "Coulson has been investigating where the 'hijacking' took place, and he has no clue until now. What I did didn't help the police's work at all! We didn't know which direction to go in! If it dragged on a little longer, it would have to be classified as a suicide again, and then the case would be closed, and the police would have no reason to continue their investigation!"

James was telling the truth, and it was rare for the Patton Police Department to be willing to use this clue to open a case and spend police resources to investigate after discovering that a suicide had been abducted before his death. But if there is no result for a long time, it can only be terminated and return to the conclusion of suicide. Such a reality obviously made the general's son a little impatient.

Zach looked at James, thought for a moment, and changed the words that were about to deliberately provoke James into a prompt: "You're right, now you need to think outside the detective and use the thinking that belongs to 'us' to find clues." ”

"What?" James asked, looking at Zach, inquiringly. There was no repulsion in his eyes, and Zach was satisfied.

"Dead Apostles, James. Zach continued to give a hint, "You forgot that Jì Papa's employees at Midnight, including the recruiter in the middle, all died once. ”

James's eyes lit up after a moment of thought: "You want to lend me Alice?"

Zach was stunned for a moment, he definitely didn't think about who he was going to 'lend' Alice to!

James seems to have been overdone by him!

"Do you want a sixteen-year-old girl to accompany you to catch the murderer?" Zach asked rhetorically, in an accentuated tone.

James's question was practical, but it also showed his preconceptions about the members of the Grande House. In his mind, Alice has the power to see death, and can use it to distinguish the Dead Apostles, and is a tool that can be used! But what kind of police detective would be willing to use a sixteen-year-old girl as a tool to put her in a dangerous situation?!

James pressed his hands to his face, rubbing his already tired eyes vigorously, and he fell into confusion again.

Zach was not ready to comfort James, who was moved by crooked thoughts, and did not want to guide him little by little, so he gave an answer coldly: "You should investigate who the first person to come back from the dead is, you are a police detective, I don't need to teach you." He's the middle recruiter you're looking for. Now, leave the House of Grande. ”

When Alice's name appeared, Benjamin, who was fully conscious, gathered the information scattered on the bed and handed it to a sluggish James.

James took the information and frowned: "I'm sorry. I didn't mean that. ”

But the two of them were no longer willing to listen to him, and Zach waved his hand to let him go.

"At the very least, at least she can help us police see the people who committed suicide, and if the police can find the location of the first death, where the hijacking took place, then they will definitely find more clues! At least let our investigation continue!" James made a final effort.

Zach frowned, thinking, this is also the bottom line he can allow. Zach looked at James's sincere face, and finally nodded, which was considered a compromise, "Then you should go and ask her personally." ”

"Yes. Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, James stopped asking for anything more and walked up the stairs with a pile of documents.

"You shouldn't have promised him. Benjamin leaned sideways, looked at Zach, and said lightly.

"It doesn't matter. Zach shook his head, a slight smirk on his face, "Papa Midnight used the strictest life and death contract on the Dead Apostles, and the Windwinds were able to 'convince' them to commit suicide, but they didn't get any information, and Alice couldn't see anything. It just made James die. ”

"No, that's not what I meant. Benjamin flipped over and the wide bed shook, "You're giving James the wrong impression." He can use us to find the easy way. ”

With the help of easy to understand, but what is the 'easy road'?

If Anthony didn't refuse when the vampire offered to use the Enchanting Pupil to help Anthony conquer his beautiful female secretary, this is the easy path.

"If he's willing to pay, when I didn't say. Benjamin, who was facing inward, said the last sentence and closed his eyes.

Zach paused for a moment, patted Benjamin's broad shoulder, and smiled. He had already understood what the werewolves meant, this was not the business of the Grande House, their participation was originally just to help, and now perhaps because of Papa's midnight provocation, Zach had the idea of joining, but still, Grande was not obligated to help James.

It can be because of friendship cooperation, such as Grande and Anthony. It can be because of the bargaining of interests, such as Grande and Quinn, Barton, Herman.

Grande's relationship with James Lance wasn't very strong, and 'we' weren't his tools, and the human detective had to be made aware of that.
