23 James

"Don't talk to me. I'm just here to get my mother's necklace. James said this as he passed by Zack.

Zach shrugged his shoulders and watched James enter the Grande. After a while, the guy came out again, "Where's my father?"

Zach childishly pointed to his mouth.

"Answer me!"

"In the warehouse. ”

James took two steps with a gloomy face and turned back, "You let a general live in your warehouse?!"

"There's also a Roy Tsmich. ”

James almost fell on the back porch, "Who?!"

"The one who attacked me in front of you when I was in Vega. ”

"The ...... of the Western Arms Industry" James didn't finish speaking, and General Lance's voice was already coming from the warehouse, "Do you want a necklace anymore." ”

James went to the warehouse with a gloomy face.

This time, I stayed for more than an hour.

It's not that General Lance was so active in keeping James and not letting him go back to work (to investigate the case), it was James himself who delayed it. Zach listened to the whole process and relayed it to everyone-

General Lance gave James what was clearly an important identity in the Lance family: the necklace, saying that he would not give a speech at the wedding, and that James or Kate or the wedding planner would arrange this kind of thing very much, and the picture would be ugly.

Originally, it was just a notice to tell James about this 'small' request. But James was not pleased, and the two quarreled.

It's quite interesting that the father and son quarreled. After James Barabala's remarks, General Lance replied coldly, "Is this the way to talk to me, corporal." ”

"me! I'm Patton's detective now, not your soldiers!"

"Is that the way you speak to your father, son? ”

"You don't even want to speak at my wedding, why should I treat you as a father!"

"Yes, give me back my wife's necklace. ”

"This is my mother's necklace. ”

"Exactly, my wife. ”

"My mother!"

"My wife. ”

"My mother hates you!"

"She's hated me since you were even born, so, you know your situation? ”

"You're a beast!"

"Then you are the son of the beast. ”

......

At this hour, it was not that the quarrel stopped automatically, but that Zack and Roy Tsmich, who had been listening, felt that they could not maintain the attitude of watching the play.

Oh, a human quarrel can persuade two vampires to fight, which is a bit amazing.

The division of labor is very clear, and Roy Tsmich is naturally more familiar with General Reims, and he pulls General Reims away. Zach was of course the one who pulled James away.

"Speaking of which, I've never heard you mention your mother. Zach dragged James to Grande's kitchen. It had already been set for dinner, and today at Grande's dinner, Zach would entertain General Lance and the Cologne chief of the Southern District Police Department. As it stands, James may be added.

It's almost time, and it's time to start preparing.

"I died before I was born!"

Zach glanced at James, ready for James to react to the absurdity of the remark - there are countless ways to say not to talk about a topic, which is one of the funniest things.

James reacted, staring at Zach as he started chopping lamb chops, "I don't know where she went, she went on a trip when she was a kid and never came back." ”

"Oh. So it's easier for you to accept that it's dead~" Zach chose to do a psychoanalysis for James at a very bad time.

James stared at Zack's gaze became more and more gloomy, and Zach handed the knife in his hand to James very intimately, of course, not to let James cut himself, and let go of the position of the lamb chops, "Play as much as you want." Then he turned around and prepared the other ingredients.

Bang, bang, bang......

Zach wasn't really interested in James's family issues eitherβ€”he knew James well enough that he didn't need to parse any childhood trauma, "When I went to pick up your father at noon, I heard Kate say that you have another case in your hands?"

James didn't say anything and continued to chop lamb chops.

"Are you sure you can close the case before the wedding?" Zach didn't look at it and continued to ask, "You don't want to be distracted at your own wedding~"

James stopped his movements, looked at Zack who was making the marinated lamb chop sauce with a gloomy face, "I've checked it out." ”

"Oh?"

"Do you want to hear it? James continued to look at Zach gloomily.

"Listen to it. ”

"Good!" James put down his knife, grabbed the lamb chops and threw them into the bowl full of sauce in front of Zack, the sauce splattered, and Zack continued to retreat to dodge. No one should have any hope for James's psychological maturity in childish behavior, "When Wes and I rushed to the scene of the report, the crime had just happened. "You have to understand that the detectives of the homicide squad usually arrive at the scene of the crime, the case has already happened, this is not professional knowledge, it is common sense, and then listen to James," a detective who was supposed to take a turn today was bleeding in an alley in Becky. ”

Zach looked at the messy pot of lamb chops, hesitated for a moment, and walked over again to tidy it up. This is for the sake of the director of Cologne. Remember, Director Cologne has always had a good impression of Grande's food and can't let him down.

"I saw the assailant fleeing the scene, but I didn't chase it. "There is no reason to chase it, James has just said, the case is not in line with common sense, "all stayed where they were, called an ambulance, and gave first aid to the bleeding detective, but he still died at my hands." ”

Zach sealed the lamb chops and took advantage of the marinating time to clean the oven. James didn't stopβ€”

"I don't see dead detectives reproducing deaths, but I do know that Cerberus is rushing here. ”

Zack's movements stalled slightly, looked back at James, didn't speak, and went back to clean the oven.

"So I called Mary's Chapel and asked Tea (the Fallen Angel) to interrogate the detective's soul for me. James paused, keeping his eyes on Zach, "Do you want to know what I did in exchange for the demon interrogating my soul?" ”

Zach replied the same way he had just done, "Listen." ”

"There's a pile of Southeastern skulls piled up in the Bureau, what Scower and his demons do!" James said gloomily.

We should understand this gloom, Chapman told Zach before he died and became a demon that most of the violence in Barton came from skulls in the Southeast.

James, "If Mary's Church doesn't help me, I'll put those cases that no one is responsible for now on Mary's Church!" "No one is in charge?" The demons of the skull, including Chapman, are all ironically trapped in heaven!"It makes no difference to me anyway, it's all the devil's sin! The devil is responsible! The skull is still the same as the Mary's Chapel!"

When the oven was cleared, Zach nodded, started preheating, and continued back to the desk to work on the other ingredientsβ€”James didn't seem to be going to help anymore.

Seeing that Zach didn't mean to respond, James laughed, "Hmph, and then I was taken by Ketra to accompany the guests from the west." Do you think I'd do such a frivolous thing if I really had a case to investigate? ”

Zach responded, "You don't have to tell me all about your itinerary. "Smile.

"No, how did my father in Grandry know to call me over to my house?" "Well, I don't have to tell you about my itinerary, because you know it, don't you, who told you, Darcy. ”

"Director Darcy. Zach didn't affirm anything, but corrected James's address to his superiors as he had done before.

James also ignored it as before, but really sneered like this, "I know that the detective's soul is being interrogated by demons, so I went to Kate's." I knew that Huesca was between me and Darcy, and I didn't want to embarrass Wes, so I asked him to pass my actions back to the police station, and let Darcy know that I was tired of dealing with a bunch of Western magnates I didn't care about, and went home to fix up, in fact, I was going home to pick up the results of the interrogation at Mary's Chapel!" Zach didn't affirm anything, but corrected James's address to his superiors as he had done before.

James also ignored it as before, but really sneered like this, "I know that the detective's soul is being interrogated by demons, so I went to Kate's." I knew that Huesca was between me and Darcy, and I didn't want to embarrass Wes, so I asked him to pass my actions back to the police station and let Darcy know that I was tired of dealing with a bunch of Western magnates I didn't care about, and went home to fix up, in fact, I was going home to pick up the results of the interrogation at Mary's Chapel!"

Zach actually wanted to say something pretty, but even if he did, James probably wouldn't accept Zack's praise, so forget it.

"Then I knew the truth of this inexplicable case. Darcy arranged for me to leave the country to run into the case, and the dead detective was the victim of one of Darcy's conspiracy traps. After a pause, he took two steps closer to Zack at the same time, tilting his body to bring his cold face in front of Zack.

It's not like James wants to show Zach his expression, James is watching Zack's expression.

What kind of expression can Zach have? Cutting onions, just a human cry.

James retracted his observation, "And then I got a call from my father, huh, asking me to come to Grande. After looking at Zach's perfect knife work for a moment, "Say, what does Darcy want you to do to me." ”

"Who can do what to you~" Zach wiped his face from the humane cry just now, and smiled again, "Your habit is not good, James, not everything in Barton has my involvement." ”

Well, in the above time context, James has no problem dealing with Darcy, but it is a bit far-fetched to conclude that Darcy and Zach hooked up from a phone call from Grande to his house.

"But after telling me why Blake Stone on the West Side was involved in a religious affair, Darcy was in a bad mood. I remember that Darcy didn't care about the affairs of the West Side people in the past, who made him suddenly have a heart with the West End people?"

Zach raised an eyebrow, except for the last time he told James that he was not as smart as Kate, he really hadn't communicated with James about Patton's situation properly. Listening to James say this kind of thing now, I don't know whether to comfort or be speechless. James saw Patton's situation, but he used it again in an inexplicable place-

"It's me, and then? I'm suddenly a good friend of Darcy in your eyes, and I'm going to solve his problems and cooperate with what kind of conspiracy you just told him?"

James stared at Zach, "You didn't cooperate with Darcy? Just now, you heard very clearly, my father didn't want to give Kate his mother's necklace at all, so he came to live with your Grande, and took the initiative to call me to get it?

Zach's eyes suddenly flashed, and he put down his work and looked at James.

I watched very seriously and was very focused.

James could stand it for the first few seconds, and then ...... James's face began to deform, and the alertness on his face became more and more obvious, "What are you looking at me like this!"

"I just noticed. You've been slow learners, but finally, your view of the context of events has finally ......," Zach frowned, and the following words, I really didn't want to say, "It's up to Toledo's standards." ”

The kitchen was quiet for three seconds, and James shivered all overβ€”a bit like peeing in the cold. He didn't have time to speak.

Zach resumed his work on the desk, "Let's all forget that I just said that." ”

"Deal!"

Do you know what a disgusting thing it is, that is eternal life, with you?

Zach moved his body for a moment, "That's right, Darcy asked me to help slow down your investigation of the case." ”

"You confessed ......"

"Don't get excited. Zach glanced at James, "Darcy has done a trap in order to abolish the life cycle of a detective who came to Barton under a pseudonym to ask Darcy about the secret inheritors of the rules of survival in the Feast. ”

There were so many points that James didn't know which one to pursue for a while.

Zach gave James an important point worth remembering, "Between these two inheritors. Got it. ”

James was silent for a moment, "No! I don't understand! One of Barton's innocent detectives paid with his life!"

"Innocent?" Zach glanced at James, "when do you ask Wes to go to Betch and squat alone, and then shoot and attract the police to surround you when you meet." You see if Wes says yes or not. ”

Morality, human morality, oh, in the mouth of the vampire, the bystander, is clear.

James was speechless for a moment, and his face began to flush.

Zach waved his hand, "Go see the lamb chops, there's no way I'm going to try this kind of thing." ”

James stood there for a moment before moving closer to the marinated lamb chops, opening the seals and looking at what's inside.

If at this time, James was so bold that he suddenly grabbed the lamb chops and stabbed Zack, a vampire who destroyed human nature, Zack might just hang up.

But James didn't do that,
