After Grande's lunch, Zach went back to the master bedroom to continue looking in the mirror for the afternoon.

Zach just wanted to talk to 'himself'......

Uh, don't worry, Zach didn't get nervous this time, his mood was already a little different Barton's funeral business needs Zack, young vampires need Zack, Grande teenagers need Zack, wizards need Zack...... "You should be proud." Zach looked at the 'self' in the mirror, "You exist in this world as a being needed by the world, me, my image." ”

If that's what Zach needs to stop being confused, then we don't say anything.

It was getting dark, there was some coolness in the air, and the spring rain was starting to fall outside. Zach figured it was about time for James to return, and said into the mirror, "Good chat." "Let's just talk to ourselves," Zach turned away from the mirror, "Next time, right now, a human detective needs me." ”

Zach in the mirror maintained his 'work ethic' before Zach turned around, faithfully copying Zack's movements until Zach completely left the scope of the mirror. Rest assured, there are no strange things happening, such as Zack's image in the mirror reappearing after Zack disappears.

Zach first went to Alice's room and asked the two girls about their preparations for school tomorrow, and after receiving a positive answer, they went to the office, and waited for James to come back in the rain behind the window.

Zach had already figured out how to 'appease' James

Joe's murderer, under the influence of Joe, who became a phantom, cooperated too much with the police and the judicial process, resulting in his punishment being lowered. 'Bishop' is now just giving this criminal the punishment he deserves, making the crime what he deserves to be realized. The case has already reached the hands of the lawyer, everything is still in the human justice system, and it is not an alien revenge that is completely out of justice, don't worry.

This appeasement was justified, and Zach felt that James would accept it.

James showed up.

The car that drove into the Grande rushed directly into the warehouse, and after a quick stop, James ran out with his head on his head and went straight to the Grande.

Zach reviewed his statement again, calmly waiting for the others to come up.

The phone thought about it.

Zach took it casually, "Grande Funeral Home." ”

"Zach?" said Harrison's voice.

"It's me. Zach glanced at the door, James came in with rain stains on his body, saw Zach answering the phone, pouted and sat down opposite. James never showed respect for Zach's **, forget it, it's all used to it.

"Well...... Well, we've got a party, now, do you want to come? Amilia's birthday party. ”

Zach was stunned for a moment, since the ** bar and game night were interrupted, Zach has rarely gone out for entertaining social activities, the last Walter engagement party is not counted, it is by the way, and Zach also temporarily changed his mind and did not go to it, "Did you invite me?"

"Yes, yes, are you coming?"

The other party's uncertain tone made Zach a little confused, "Do you want me to go?"

"Think, think ......"

Belch. Zach into the earpiece, "Wait a minute. "To James who was impatiently waiting for the call to end," Harrison invited me to Emilia's birthday party, right now. Zach was asking James' opinion, "Am I going?"

Zach was actually curious about what Harrison wanted to do, after all, the invitation was too hasty and inexplicable, and Zach felt that there was a ...... Issue.

"Are you going to ask me what I'm doing?"

Zach was a little speechless and continued to hold the microphone, "Did you invite people to your birthday party when it has already started?"

James stared at Zach, the corners of his eyes twitching, "I'm not my birthday!" but still, "What does he want to do?!"

"I don't know if I can't guess, right?" Zach again asked for advice. This is actually intentional, because after hanging up the phone, Zach can add to the 'reassuring' words he has prepared, 'I listened to your advice, and you have to listen to my ~' simple communication skills.

James's face darkened, "Go! I'm going too!" deliberately amplified the volume, trying to make his voice break through Zach's hand covering the microphone, "I'm going to see what Barton's aliens are doing right now!!"

Zach shook his head helplessly and let go of his hand, "Harrison, did you hear that? James is going too." ”

"No, no problem, the more people the better...... "The more people there are, the better."

Forget it, Zach felt that he would know why if he went, so he asked, "Can I bring Louise, I don't want my companion to be James, he has an invitation for himself." ”

It's a birthday party, and Zach isn't going to go empty-handed, so what I mean by that is, Zach is going to be there with Louise and give presents, James, oh, himself.

"Yes!" seemed to confirm that Zach would arrive, and Harrison hung up the phone in a hurry, "We're waiting for you...... "added." "I reported the address and hung up.

Skip some boring processes, and no one should want to watch the three of them buy gifts on Liszt Street on a rainy night.

Arrived at the party location, where Harrison and Emilia lived together in Back Bay. Looking for a parking space, Zach:

"James, don't think about it, I listened to you on whether I came here or not, then you listened to me on Bishop, believe me, it's good for all. ”

I don't need to explain more.

The three of them went to the front porch and rang the doorbell.

"It's Zach and Louise!" "It's Zach and Louise!" "It's McGee, who looks slightly drunk, "Come in~Oh! Detective Lance!" McGee was a little excited, it should be, speaking of which, in Chapman's suicide a year ago, James was also involved in saving Walter, "Come in~"

Louise was taken away, and Maggie said that there was a new perfume and that everyone (the women) were trying it. Zach and James are pointed to where the man is.

It's a good habit to look at the environment around you when you enter a social situation. But everyone is different, and what Zach is looking at is who is in this party. James, looking at the tense look of his whole body, should be making an escape route.

Interracial, a lot. Don't mention familiar faces such as mermaid Morman and Walt, anyway, it must be friends invited by Harrison, Zach was a little surprised that Earl was also there, and Earle's location was not the place where the aliens gathered on this occasion. It's a place where humans talk.

Wait, and the person who remembers Earl as an android? No, it has long been impossible to say that Earl is an android, he is a Rimmer vampire, the same as Eve's titular father, Flender. And, now in his identity, he is also the accountant of the Smith family. Remember, Zach helped this guy in his career path.

It is precisely because there are many humans here in addition to the alien race, so Harrison, as the master, did what the master should do, "Mr. Grande!" Look at this title~"Here!" Harrison wants to introduce Zach to the room full of people.

Interestingly, Harrison casually introduced Zach in the interracial block, "Mr. Grande, these are our friends, my friends, Mr. Grande!" led Zach quickly walked away, the human block, "Everyone, this is Mr. Grande!" attracted a lot of attention, "Mr. Grande." "We might have to pay attention to Harrison's words when he introduced Zach, because this would be Zach's positioning in this social situation, not the interracial block anyway.

"Yes, let the western part of the Federation begin to imitate the owner of the Grande Funeral Home of our Patton funeral industry, Mr. Grande. Zach could see Harrison's face struggling to keep a smile on his face, "and was one of the first donors to support the shelter." ”

Some people started applauding, and more people joined in.

Zach began to understand and received the applause, but did not say anything, because 'theoretically' Zach did not know who the group of people who applauded him were. The reason for the quotation marks is that Zach knew one of them, Earl.

"I should have applauded everyone, without everyone, it would have been difficult for the shelter to survive, let alone succeed now!" Harrison began to applaud earnestly. Zach understood, so these humans are the ones who have helped the shelter.

That would explain why Earl is here, the Smith family that Earl represents. Mrs. Quinn ...... You get the idea. Now the biggest partner of the shelter is the Smith family.

After this introduction, Harrison whispered in Zack's ear, "I'll look for you later......" to 'rescue' James, who was beginning to be watched by the aliens.

One wondered what Harrison would say about James

He took James to the woman. It's not a good way to say that, but it sends James to Emilia's social circle. Well, I haven't forgotten it, Emilia treated James.

Before Harrison came to Zack, Zach dealt with the humans he had come to socialize with. There are merchants, there are people like Mr. Pine (Mrs. Quinn's rumored boyfriend before his 'death') who likes to do public welfare, and there are business owners......

These people's impression of 'Mr. Grande' seems to be consistent with a confession, "Hehe, Mr. Grande, you are really mysterious~ It seems that since last year, I have been seeing the Grande Funeral Home in the newspapers, especially after the news of the experience of learning Patton's funeral industry in the West has come out, but you, sir, have never appeared~"

"The funeral industry, let's call me traditional, I don't think my profession is suitable for showing up. Zach responded with a smile one by one, of course, charm is innate, "I always have a little expectation, that is, everyone will not see my face~"

"Oh hehe~ Mr. is really humorous~"

Relaxed.

Zach approached Earl, "How's it going?"

"No one dares to call me ugly. "Earl is enjoying the food, a trait unique to Remer," if you want to ask about this. ”

"Oh, naturally, you're representing Smith. ”

"So what do you represent, is it really Grande? Earl glanced at Zack, "I've got the guest list a long time ago, and you're not here." ”

Instead of answering the question, Zach asked, "Isn't this Emilia's birthday party, why do you have a guest list?"

Earl pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Although the asylum is still nominally under the control of the Quin and Smith Group, the Quin Group is actually under Mrs. Quinn...... Evacuated after leaving. "Lowered his voice," after Pochi Kunyin refused to take over the Kunyin Group, the name 'Kunyin Group' is actually no longer worthy of the name. The people in the Quinn Group also have to replan their assets, and no one wants their work to contribute to an empty name. ”

Zach nodded, "It's understandable, it can really be regarded as the Quinn family property now, and it is only the nursing home in the South District." ”

Earl nodded, "Poch wasn't interested in the shelter, and Smith sent someone to talk about it. Glancing at Zach, he smiled, "You also know the situation on Poch's side, that is, he is willing to take what Mrs. Quinn left behind on the asylum side, and Eve and Lydia are not willing. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Why? The wizard has joined forces with Reimer in the lab. "The Tower of Babel under Barton," Reimer (Smith) controls the asylum and the wizard (Pochi) controls the sanitarium, so it's okay to cooperate with each other. ”

"The joint laboratory is for the exchange of knowledge. Earl shook his head, "The wizard's sorcery and the magic of Remer, knowledge can be shared, such as studying the alien races of the republic, such as analyzing Papa's midnight witchcraft and creation, such as cracking the Banlin of the Northern Country, and soul expansion technology." But because of their own achievements, neither side intends to share. ”

Zach thought for a moment, "Like Remer's 0711 and Wizard Spice?"

Earl glanced at Zack, "You've used 0711, how do you forget?" Your brother Benjamin is using a wizard's spice, and you don't know what that stuff does. ”

Zach didn't speak, there was nothing to say, it was the duty of scientists to acquire knowledge, and at the same time, it was also their duty to protect the fruits of their labor. The relationship between the wizard and Reimer is quite harmonious.

Earl shrugged his shoulders, "So Smith is evaluating new partners, these guests, are candidates. Of course I got the guest list early. ”

Zach looked around Earl and didn't come closer, combined with Zack's realization that he had come to this social occasion halfway, "I guess you didn't find anything satisfying." ”

Earl sighed, "Who is better than Mrs. Quinn?" and waved his hand, making it clear that when you're working with a fantastic partner, you can't look down on candidates for the average level.

Zach smiled, "I think it's good that the asylum has only Smith right now. ”

"Let's see. Earl tilted his head and continued to enjoy his food.

Zach also saw Harrison coming, and looked in Harrison's direction to avoid the crowd. Zach knows the real reason why he was temporarily joining this party, and it is about to be revealed.

The doorbell rang.

Harrison froze for a moment, motioned for Zach to wait, and turned to open the door.

Earl looked at the door next to Zack, they were all vampires, don't be surprised" Another guest who wasn't on the list. "Look at Zach," said whom. ”

It's Pochikunin, and Muen the Sorcerer. Another couple.

Zach looked at Harrison for a moment, and led Muen to Emilia's side. Reasonable, the scope of Emilia's treatment, no need to mention. Instead, Poch refused to go with Munn and walked straight to Zack's side.

Pochiquin, no one needs to be introduced, everyone knows who he is, and, looking at his direction, everyone will think that this last member of the Quinn family is going to Earl on behalf of the Smith family.

"You're there too. Poch glanced at Zach and began to take the food.

"Yes, I'm there too. Zach replied indifferently.
