9 Work

Grande's favorite van was unmovable because there was no trunk. Zach relocated a van from the former West End Funeral Home in the South Side warehouse. While preparing, Zach asked Old Hank with the idea of giving it a try, "Do I have anything to prepare?"

"I don't care. ”

Zach shook his head helplessly, "Then do you want to go with you? This is your previous generation of Grande's professional ......."

"I'm retired!" Zach hadn't even finished speaking, and old Hank shook his hand and walked away with the Great Dane.

So our vampire sighed, looked at James, who didn't seem to be going back to the police station at all, and brought the usual equipment for picking up corpses. Remember, plastic bags, gloves. In addition, thinking about cleaning, Zach recalled the equipment of Brian's mother that he had seen at Brian's house, and brought brushes and detergent......

"You, can you hurry, hurry?" the strange man sat back in Zack's car as he prepared. The whole time he looked at Grande's master, who didn't know what to do at all, his face became more and more wrinkled.

Oh, I can't say anything about the strange man now, the self-introduction has been done in the office, and this person is Mr. Green. It's kind of an upper-class person in the southern district, he's the director of the sanatorium, yes, it's the Pochi who was locked up for a while and then caught fire, and now he's still renovating the state sanatorium.

However, he resisted identifying himself when he introduced himself in the office, as if he were reluctant to say what he had asked Grande to deal with. But Zach looked at him with such persistence that he had to introduce himself.

It's not that Zach wants to know who the man with a body in this bedroom is, but that Zach needs to stop James from showing his badge when he storms into the office.

It worked well, and when Mr. Green said he was the director of the Southside Nursing Home, James, who had his hand pressed to his waist, stiffened. This is simply a repetition of the situation a few days ago, James, a police detective in the North District, is looking for trouble in the South District again? No, he is not going to cross the line again, adding to his already unhappy behavior from the upper echelons of the North District Police Department.

So, James had no choice but to put his hand down. Gloomy acceptance of Zach's explanation to Mr. Green because someone broke in out of the blue, "Oh, he won't affect us, leave him alone." How much are you going to pay, Mr. Green?"

You can imagine that picture.

Ready for what Zach thought needed to be prepared, he got into the car, sat in the passenger seat, pulled his seat belt unaccustomedly, and gave instructions to Benjamin, who was driving. "Turn on the radio. ”

Yes, after listening to Linda say so much, the sense of crisis towards the Demon Banquet is a little less, after all, it is confirmed that his identity as Toredo is not known to the outside world, but the sense of vigilance against the Demon Banquet Toredo has returned. Because it was only a matter of time before he was exposed, especially since Kozil had already seen him, Zach preferred that he would be able to grasp the whereabouts of those Demon Feast Toredo before he knew what Kozil, known as the Demon Feast Companion, was going to do.

Other than that. There was a more important reason, turning on the radio. It is possible to avoid communicating with James with a gloomy face in the back seat.

And James actually let Zach go so easily, and really didn't say a word along the way, it seems that the detective wants to observe with his own eyes, and then make his own judgment.

Benjamin, on the other hand, didn't want to let Zach go.

Alpha, who was holding the steering wheel, tugged at the corners of his mouth and followed closely behind Mr. Green's car in front of him. "So we're even going to do this kind of thing now?"

"Our last name is Grande. Zach replied helplessly, spinning the radio knob. For him, this is a new car, and the channels that are mobilized always stay in a place of half-noise and half-music, and there is no feeling. It's irritating.

Benjamin tilted his head, "So we're even going to do this kind of thing now??"

Zach also tugged at the corners of his mouth, as if seriously thinking about the wording, "I can refuse." ”

Benjamin snorted, "But you didn't." ”

"Because Mr. Green mentioned Mrs. Donna. Zach had absolute helplessness on his face, "I don't know that when I promise Lady Donna, there will be a signal that Grande will return to his old business." ”

Indeed, it was one thing for Lady Donna to know that old Hank was doing his job, but it was quite another for her to ask Grande to delay the funeral. It's just a more subtle hint that Grande was once a place that was happy to take on 'private work'. Zach didn't realize that in the other party's opinion, this meant that Grande's 'private work' had been continued, so now the owner of Grande easily accepted the hint and accepted the commission to delay the funeral.

"It was my mistake, but I shouldn't be left to others. Zach looked at the car leading the way in front of him, "He's here, and it looks urgent, what should I do, get out." Zach actually looked in the rearview mirror at this point, and there was a gloomy face of James.

This...... What did Zach mean - there was a body in Mr. Green's bedroom that needed to be disposed of, and it should not have been known to Detective James, but because of Zack's mistake, it was known...... This, this is the 'consequences that should not be borne by others'?

Well, our vampires have a unique interpretation of morality, a sense of responsibility, and we don't have to agree with it.

And Benjamin actually thought about it for a moment and nodded. It seems that the alpha who represents goodness in the Grande, who is favored by Sbella, is also like this. After all, they are all aliens, so don't force it. In the same way, we don't have to agree.

"If you're going to ask Matthew to bury the body, you're going to have to pay another salary. "Benjamin has already started fighting for the welfare of his wolf cubs.

"Of course. Zach agreed.

Instead of driving onto Route 27, the two cars drove on the side of the road on the west side of the road, past farms and fields to the nursing home in the northwest direction.

Then after passing by a sanatorium under construction, the car parked outside a villa.

There is nothing to describe the villas in the West End, there are no features of the North End at all, such as the greenery and quietness of the villas in Back Bay near the North Side border, the sea view and sandy beach of Villa Knoll. The villas in the west area, surrounded by fields, look like farmers with slightly more elaborate decorations.

"Upstairs. Mr. Green got out of the car, still impatient, and opened the door all the way to show the way.

"You live alone?" Among the three Grande who walked into the front hall, it was naturally Zach who spoke, and he had no intention of appreciating the decoration of this villa. But I can't help but notice that the photos hanging on the walls of the stairs are similar to family photos, but they look a little too late. Moreover, a certain child-like face was a little familiar, and Zach felt like he had seen it somewhere.

"My wife died young. I'm alone. This is the answer, "I...... My son ......" His voice was inexplicably stuck, and he suddenly changed the subject, "I, I don't know much about the procedure of your work, uh, you, you need to ask, that." The corpse that is going to be disposed of, who is the corpse?"

Not to mention that his employer doesn't know, and Zach doesn't know, look, they've all come to this place where it is likely to be a crime scene, and the key question is -- who is the body? Zach didn't even ask!

Zach pursed his lips and thought for a moment. Rhetorical question, "Will you tell us?"

"Me. I ......" The four of them were already standing in front of a certain door, Mr. Green 'me' for a long time, nothing came out, pushed the door open, "you, you do your thing." I, I'll just wait below......" turned around and left. It's a good way to end the conversation.

Zach could have forcibly stopped the other person from leaving, or James, the detective, could have stopped the victim when he confirmed that he saw the victim in the bedroom. But neither of them moved. Instead, they all showed strange looks at the same time. Zach was surprised, James was confused.

As a result, the first person to enter the bedroom and walk towards a neatly dressed corpse was Benjamin. Alpha didn't feel the abnormality of his two companions at all, and looked at the corpse on the bed with his shoulders crossed, shrugged his shoulders, as if he was just commenting, "Those things of yours have white discharge (cleaning supplies such as detergents and brushes), it seems that there is nothing to clean up, ......just wrap it up and take it away."

Benjamin wasn't too sluggish, and when he turned his head and noticed Zack's anomaly, he frowned, "What's your expression, do you know this guy?"

Do you know? Think about the people that Zach and James knew, but Benjamin hadn't met.

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, pushed the still confused James into the bedroom, closed the door with his hand, and stood beside the bed.

The person lying on the bed was dressed in formal clothes, his face was quite serene, and there was an open medicine bottle on the bedside table, and Zach picked it up and looked at it, which was similar to the medicine Brian had taken, a medicine with a sedative effect on the mental side.

"What do you think, Detective Reims. Zach put back the empty vial and pulled James back from his confusion with the title of detective, "You can let go of your gloomy face." Luckily for us, Grande received the first black commission, the deceased committed suicide, and Grande did not have to bear any responsibility for the murderer to escape the law. "Well, vampires' sense of morality, don't agree.

James's face was worse than gloomy. He glanced at Zack, childishly pushed the vampire away, took a glove from his pocket and put it on, then picked up the pill bottle again, looked at it for a while, put it back, and began to examine the body.

Something can be seen from the order of James's examination, wrists, waist, throat, mouth...... He was checking for signs that the body had been forcibly dozen.

Zach didn't care about James's childishness and pushed him away, just watching, "There doesn't seem to be any trace of force and struggle, it's his free will." ”

"Who he is. Benjamin frowned, his question unanswered.

After James tugged at the corners of his mouth and glared at Zach irritably, blaming the vampire for preemptively making a conclusion, he, the detective, began to look back and forth in the bedroom again, as if looking for something.

And Zach replied to Benjamin, "Philip, Lip, the dream demon who warned me and James about the future." Zach began to talk to himself, "No wonder there is no record of him in the nursing home, he is not a patient, he is the son of the owner of the nursing home, Green." ”

"Son. Benjamin shook his head, "How do you know it's Green's son." ”

"Photos. Zach waved his hand, "When I came up, I saw the photo, although there was an age gap, but it was the same person." Zach raised an eyebrow at James who was rummaging through the bedroom, "James, what are you doing?"

"Look for a suicide note. James replied gloomily, "He clearly arranged his own suicide." "Elaborate formal attire, obviously not an impulsive act, "There must be a suicide note!"

"James. Zach shook his head, "He's a dream demon, you should know very well that the so-called goodbye to the world doesn't need to be ...... at all" because there is no goodbye at all, it's just that life has changed form, right?

Before Zach could finish speaking, James glared at Zack to interrupt, and the rummaging action stopped, as if to increase the momentum of his words, "I don't know what a dream demon is! I see a corpse! I judge it as suicide! I want to find the last thing left by the deceased!"

Zach completely ignored James's excitement and put on an encouraging face, "Don't you know you can ask." "Then Zach began to carry out the work he had come here," Benjamin, bag, gloves. ”

Along with the sheets, Lip's body was wrapped. Zach also paid a little attention to his movements out of the instinct of repelling the corpse, which could be reluctantly interpreted as respect for the corpse. But Benjamin didn't care at all, pulling the wrapped sheets and stuffing them into the black plastic bag......

At the same time, Zach began to ignore James's emotional explanation, what is the dream demon, "The dream demon is more special, and it is considered to break through the real and illusory soul alien race. ”

In the sound of the zipper being pulled open and closed, "Look. Zach helped Benjamin put Selip in the plastic bag and showed a gloomy James, "That's the truth." "The one-person-high black plastic bag is filled, and the real one couldn't be more real.

Zach patted the plastic bag that had been carried on Benjamin's shoulder, and the sound of touching the human body was uncomfortable, "And the Lip we saw, the Lip who told us that something had not happened yet, was illusory. ”

Remember what Zach and Benjamin discussed, about the dream demon out of time, for those of us who can't get out of time, it's the so-called breakthrough between the real and the unreal. The future will change, and the future will change, and the future will change because of the present, isn't it unreal? The only thing that remains unchanged is the reality of the present Lip is a corpse.

"That's what he doesn't understand. Benjamin lifted his shoulders and adjusted the things on his shoulders to a more comfortable position.

"Do you have a better explanation?" Zach raised an eyebrow.

"This is a simple corpse, a dead person. Benjamin began his explanation, "If this man doesn't die, the Dream Demon Lip you know won't appear." ”

"You don't get any better. Zach shook his head, "Even immortal aliens can't understand the dream demon that exists outside time very well, so there is a real and illusory statement, you let a short-lived human ......" Zack looked at James, whose face was getting worse and worse, "No offense." Then he continued to 'debate' with Benjamin, "Let him understand that Lip was still alive as a human being, and that Lip the Dream Demon had already appeared, which was impossible. ”

"If you don't understand, remember. Benjamin tugged at the corners of his mouth, "The work is done, go back." ”
