18 Lunch
Wess is coming. It was neither early nor late, just before lunch.
Zach is also seeing off Austin, who has signed the construction contract, for a month, starting tomorrow, Monday.
Maybe Sbella was right, Grande shouldn't be so ostentatious, if this was the Grande who no one paid attention to, such a fortification would be over in one day.
"Grande will build new staff living quarters. Zach looked at Wes as he followed Austin as he left, so he explained.
Wes probably didn't hear it, and he looked absent-minded, so he began to look at Grande, "What about the others." β
Alice went out with her friends, Louise followed the priest, and Matthew went to church with his father. "Let's put it this way, if the three main forces of Grande are not there, the whole Grande will present a feeling of emptiness.
"Oh. Wes was still distracted.
"You're here ......" Blank was waiting for the other party to pick it up by himself, and Zach was already sitting down on a bench in the back porch.
"Yes. Wes sat down naturally, too, "I think you might be wondering, the police department has dropped the case of Accounting Allen." No clues continued. "I looked at Zack, and his eyes were still a little blank," there was no progress on the suspect's (Mr. Allen's) side. The bureau will issue a missing person report, and then, well, this case will be over. β
Zach wasn't surprised, shrugged, "This is the only way to end this." β
"Corpses. Wes's eyes cleared a little, "What did you do with the corpse of the accountant?" and then quickly added, "I don't have any other purpose, just ask." β
"It should have burned. Zach replied directly, "After the accountant's Earth Binding Spirit is gone, there is no need to continue to preserve his body. β
"The mill?"
Zach nodded, a smile on his face, meaningless, "Maddison's report - the new employee of the mill is missing, and it needs a hint at a point in time, right?" β
Wes lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded, "I can understand. β
No, it's not a matter of incomprehension. Ratherβ
The whole case, Zack's meaning, is basically a straightforward description of how an alien race uses an alien way to make a human disappear from human society for its own selfish desires, and makes human beings unaware of it.
Isn't it?
Grande's human identity that needs to be accountable lasts for a few days, providing a solution to Grande's own gray professional commission, the destruction of Ellen's body after his murder. So the mirror man continued to exist in this world for two days as a human accountant, completely erasing the fact of Allen's murder, and forcibly downgrading a murder case to a disappearance case, and finally, before the mill acted as an enthusiastic citizen and responsible boss, and took the initiative to report the disappearance of his employees, the only body that could prove the death of a human being 'ignored' by everyone had been conveniently turned to ashes in the incinerator.
This example is super easy to copy, oh, the alien forces in the city of Barton, any one can be pulled out, and it can be easily completed. Demonic possession, vampire's seductive pupils, wizards' sorcery......
And Wes, who has only recently become a police detective, said he can understand. He shouldn't have understood, because he's a human detective.
When you see the essence of the whole case, you will find that such an ending is not good for the society, for the police (the case is over, not for solving the case), and for human beings. It's just that an ordinary human encounters a foreign race in the wrong place at the wrong time, and then completely disappears from this world.
This case is different from the previous aliens who used the power of aliens to reveal Pierce's true face. This case is just, a certain thing in the human race living among human beings, well, probably, a trivial matter.
If it were James, he would curse Zach again with 'human parasite'.
Zach is afraid that he will use all angles to distort the meaning of this case. Allen, for example, is a victim of self-defense, another aspect. For example, the Allen Funeral Home is now discovering the moment of change in the funeral industry - discovering the injustice of privatization of the funeral industry, and taking pioneering action, which is likely to promote the future of the funeral industry, which is the progress of human civilization and should not be destroyed by a meaningless stain on life. Like what...... to re-ease the relationship between Grande and the detective.
It's easy now, remember the last time Wes came to Grande over this case, he was completely immersed in Zach's gratitude for telling him the truth, and was not prepared to bother James with such a thing.
"It's good that you understand. Zach retracted his gaze and began to fiddle with his cuffs, "Thanks for telling me the result." Then he changed the subject, "Let's stay for lunch, it's almost time anyway." β
"Oh. Wes continued to go back to his godless appearance, but soon his expression returned, "No, I, well, took a few days off, I need a few days off. It should be insincere, because the smile was reluctant, "Since the director promoted me, he has been sending me various cases, and I need time to adjust." β
Zach let go of the straight cuffs that had been pinched and smiled, "Also, you seem to have been involved in troublesome cases since you became a police detective." "Chris's kidnapping, Pierce's doxxing, and now the accounting case that is clearly a homicide but can only end in disappearance," is that it takes time to absorb it and adjust the state. β
Wes nodded, the expression on his face starting to change weirdly, "Huh...... Today Sunday, Jason seems to have arranged some kind of itinerary, and I'm going back now......" automatically shut up, it felt as if he had inadvertently said something out of his mouth, and now he reacted.
Wes mentioned Jason again, but Zach didn't show any particular emotion and didn't ask. Anyway, if you ask, according to Weiss's usual attitude towards this kind of thing, you shouldn't be able to answer, "Then I won't delay your time, goodbye." β
"Goodbye. Wes left quickly.
At lunch, Zach was completely unprepared to join, and continued to be interrupted by Austin, who had been sent to the contract, and walked to Benjamin's warehouse.
Grande's vampire and alpha are on a great experiment. Vampires, and werewolves, in the full moon cycle, fully reveal the most primitive form of combat cooperation.
I need to be reminded that this is not the kind of alpha skin that doesn't hurt for Zack, it's a complete wolf body, so this was interrupted and the re-engagement experiment began with Benjamin's words, "You can get closer, I promise, I won't bite you." β
......
Pai Siying, a restaurant with a weird shape on the side of the street. There are two girls waiting for lunch, and a strong guy with a follower, Kyle.
Alice sat at the table a little nervously, she felt that her brain must have been caught in the door, so she agreed to Lola to come here to eat 'Indian specialities'.
"I swear!" Lola's eyes had been scanning the diner ever since she entered, "Mrs. Quinn has the same one in her house, uh, what is that?" (Mrs. Quinn has a lot of Indo-An decorations in her house because of her blood.) οΌ
Alice glanced sideways, the corners of her eyes twitching, "Sacrificial pillar." β
"Sacrifice?
Alice's face turned ugly, "Lola, you wouldn't want to know, if you still want to eat." β
Lola blinked, and listened. Well, maybe it's just recalling what was taught in history class in junior high school. Adjusted his sitting position and raised his head, "What's up there? β
Lola looked at the ropes hanging down, not dense, quite sparse. At the bottom of the rope hung a handful of brown-black things.
Lola squinted, trying to make out, "Looks like some hair." "Why do you hang the hair from the ceiling?"
Kyle also looked up at Smallpox and glanced at Alice, frowning, as if worried that Alice had answered something strange.
Kyle didn't have to worry at all - Alice didn't even lift her head, her mouth pursed, and she sat there uncomfortably.
Because, what Lola is staring at, Alice is very familiar with, especially Grande's past few days. That's Benjamin's hair, wolf hair. Based on the fact that Benjamin has been a wolf for the past few days without guests, the corners and corners of Grande are all this thing.
Lola frowned when she didn't get an answer from Alice, but she wasn't prepared to give up easily, because who wants to eat in a restaurant with a handful of hairs hanging from their heads?
This is directly related to whether or not you can enjoy the 'absolutely authentic Indian taste' advertised at the entrance of the store.
"Waiter. Lola looked in the direction of the counter, there was only one waiter in this small restaurant, still a man, and he was a little obscene, and he looked cautious and uneasy at all times. If it weren't for the strong recommendation of Reipter's classmates, Lola Barton, would never have come here for lunch, "What's on this, it won't fall off." β
"Uh, no, it won't. Max replied. Yes, Max, that girlfriend is Max, the aconite soup maker, the parallel wizard Max, who was the first to follow Benjamin Matthew from Newton to Barton, "Uh, these, uh, yes, uh......" His brain was cramping, "Evil spirits!"
Even if he was smart, he actually came up with an answer to the past. Ha, isn't it just to ward off evil spirits, these brown and black furs were all he and his girlfriend Katie (casually, who is now preparing a meal for three guests in the back kitchen) begged Benjamin to personally run to collect a little bit of it.
For the sake of anyone, Katie was afraid that the wolves she had served would come to her, because she gave the aconite soup that could increase the strength of the wolves to the new alpha and died.
"What are you avoiding?" Although this answer is true, the process of Max holding back the answer is too procrastinating, and it is really unacceptable for a young girl, so Lola purses her lips and asks, "What is it, it can't be the hair of some wild animal." This guess made Lola hold her neck down, apparently disgusted by herself.
"Uh......" Max is really a waste, not only in witchcraft, but in a hurry, he actually turned his attention to Alice for help.
It must have been a door in her head, Alice shouted in her heart, it must be!
Lola turned her head suspiciously and looked at Alice, "Uh...... Alice, do you know each other?"
Even Kyle frowned, looking at Alice with her head down, but couldn't help. No, yes, there is the same question.
The atmosphere was quiet for a while, and Alice looked up, with a loveless face, "Acquaintance." His name was Max, and he had been to Grande, so he got acquainted. β
Lola tilted her head, suddenly smiled, and patted Alice, "Why didn't you say it earlier!" It didn't seem to be thinking in a strange direction at all, but smiled at the counter where Max was, "Then when you check out, give us a discount~"
Then, Lola's face turned strange, she smiled, pursed her lips, and cautiously turned back to Alice and asked, "I didn't say anything I shouldn't have said." Lola's voice was lowered, trying to only be heard by Alice, "Did he lose anyone?"
Grande, yes, the funeral home!
Alice has a chance to explain why she's been nervous since she came in, but, to the downside, Kyle knows he's lying.
Yes, for some peculiar reason, Alice cares about what her friend's brother, Kyle, thinks of her. How to describe it, well, let's tell the truth, these three people, whether they are at school or on their days off, have been together.
"I know I've said the wrong thing and ask!" Kyle spoke, and he turned Lola elbow, "Didn't you see how uncomfortable Alice looked when she came in." β
"I didn't know it would be such a coincidence!" Lola turned back, "I thought I'd come here to eat and surprise Alice!"
Alice pursed her lips and stole a glance at Kyle. Turn away, mixed feelings.
Lola was so decisive that it was inexplicable, she grabbed her bag and Alice, "Let's change places, the atmosphere is too embarrassing and I can't eat well." β
Before Alice could react, Kyle stood up, "Let's go, I remember the phone number of this restaurant, it's a big deal, let's go far and order takeout." β
"That's a good idea!" Lola decided.
Half a minute later, the three returned to the car, targeting the phone booth at the next intersection. It seems that the Indo-An'an characteristics of today's lunch are doomed.
"There's someone in this phone booth, what's next?" the driver asked the three people in the back.
"Wait......" Lola poked her head out and glanced at the person in the phone booth, "Uh, keep driving, next." "It's an order to the driver, then," Lance Detective. β
James, who was arguing with the other side with the earpiece and something, didn't react at all, and Lola had already retracted into the car, "Quick, quick, I don't want to be stopped by this detective!" urged the driver. (To be continued.) )
