Today's Pixar department store is very deserted, probably affected by yesterday's events, there are few customers, not even the shopkeepers, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of piled goods and negligent floors and walls. The air, much fresher, at least Zach didn't have to cover his nose this time.

To be honest, Zach didn't know where to start, and looked at a few bored shopkeepers looking at himself, a guy who had been standing in the hall for a long time, probably not knowing what a gentleman in such clothes was doing here. Zach shook his head and headed for the stairs.

Anyway, it's here, look at Maggie.

Luckily, Maggie was in her own shop, and Walter was too, but the two were not looking at the store, but moving things.

"Who are you?" Zach stood in the doorway of the perfume shop, watching Walter pouting and dragging a wooden box.

Walter bounced and turned around, as if frightened, "Scared me to death! What are you doing! Why are you here!"

"Need help? Zach looked at the size of the box and suggested.

"Zach?" Maggie came out of the back curtain of the store, a smile on her face, "Are you here to buy perfume?"

"It's a little thing, just look at you guys. Zach ignored Walter, he suspected that if he did help, he would have dumped him completely, and the wooden box was really not very clean.

"Is it because of yesterday?" Maggie smiled, looked left and right at the few open shops, and beckoned, "Come in." ”

Walter pouted and continued to drag the box.

"Walter said you like to help the police, and yesterday Lance Detective had already visited all of us, and Walter said that you are coming too. Maggie led Zach to the back and continued to pack up the bottles of perfume, apparently empty.

Although Maggie said 'help the police', it was a good intention. But Zach was very skeptical that Walter's original words were true, and he just smiled, picked up the perfume on the shelf, and began to help clean up, "This time it's really not to help James, it's to help other people." Zach thought a little about the wording. "I don't know you didn't notice Emilia Browning yesterday, she was at the wedding. ”

"We are friends. "Of course Maggie knows, but Zach doesn't know. Then she lowered her voice, "I saw it, she came in badly injured, thanks to the gift you gave at the wedding." She frowned, "It was chaotic at the time, too many people were crowding here, but fortunately she still had Mr. Wei by her side to help her." ”

"That's Oz Kozier. "There's no need to hide it. Zach said directly, "It's a mind reader from the West." ”

Maggie probably didn't read this sentence too much, just nodded, "I see, you're here to help Emilia erase the memories of those who saw her recovery process, right?" she smiled and tilted her head, "Walter and I don't need it." ”

"Of course. Zach smiled and paused as he picked up a bottle of perfume, the smell was familiar. "Is this the same perfume you gave me last time?" Zach asked.

Maggie thought for a moment and remembered. "yes, what does Louise think?" remember, the last time Zack went to see Maggie, Maggie sent it to Zach when he first met Emilia.

"She loved it. Zach smiled and looked back at the perfume shop that was being emptied. "Are these still for sale?"

"I'll give it to you. Maggie smiled and turned around, took out a small cardboard box with a unique shape from under the counter, took the perfume from Zack's hand, carefully put it in, and finally found the wrapped paper skillfully on it. Then tie the gift knot with the ribbon before returning it to Zach, and at the same time point to a row of small words printed on the end of the ribbon, "My perfume shop is not closed, but it will not be in this shop in the future." ”

Zach carried the locket, which had been turned into a delicate gift, and looked at the print on the end of the ribbon, "Isn't this your address and phone number?"

"yes. Maggie smiled, "I won't need a store in the future, anyway, I open a store mostly because of interest, and they are all patronized by regular customers." In the future, we will provide delivery and customized perfumes, and my basement will be my workshop, so there is no need for this shop to remain open. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Sounds classy." "Isn't it, the small shop that originally opened in a place like Pixar's department store with really poor specifications has now become a pure private service store.

"Well, Walter suggested. Maggie should have been happy with the change, and there was a smile in her tone.

"Then I won't bother you. Zach had an unexpected gift, "Also, do you have any advice for anyone who has seen Emilia recovering?" ”

Maggie thought for a moment, "That Mr. Cozier was going to the back with Emilia at the time, and I was watching the flow of people on the second floor, and I couldn't get down even if I wanted to help. She walked out of the shop that was about to close, and pointed in the direction, "The gentleman has done something to cover Emilia with his coat when he comes in, and no one should notice anything about the chaotic flow of people, you go over there and take a look, the main thing is the recovery process, I'm afraid it will inevitably be noticed." ”

Zach nodded, thanked and prepared to leave.

"Help!

Zach was stopped when he passed Walter, who had only dragged two or three meters away, obviously this guy deliberately eavesdropped on the conversation between the two, which is understandable.

"Are you going to the back too?" Zach hooked the box with a finger, and Walter's struggling face instantly relaxed.

"Otherwise, there's a parking lot in the back!I'm in the back, help me get there!" Walter was not polite, he gave all the weight to the vampire, and actually let it go, "You go that way anyway." ”

Zach shook his head with a smile, rolled up his sleeves and took off his vest, let Walter take it, looked at the wooden box that was not very clean, regretted his shirt, came to hug, picked up the box and walked forward.

In fact, Zach can walk with one finger on the top of the box, but although there are not many people in Pixar, there are still people, and Zach can't seem too relaxed.

"What is this?" Walter took Zack's vest, and in addition to the perfume that McGee had just given, the other pocket was stuffed with folded words, and Walter took it out very consciously. Here is the list of witnesses, there are so many police testimony documents that Zach only brought a list.

"If you keep watching. I'm going to tell Lance that you've spied on important police evidence. Zach responded wordlessly.

Walter snorted and stuffed back into the list, "I know it's not just for Emilia." Sure enough, I still have to intervene in the police investigation!"

"Not really. Zach shook his head, "This is what Emilia gave me, just for the sake of comprehensiveness." ”

"Cut. Walter bared his missing front teeth. "Who believes in you. ”

Yes, who believes Zach! After there was already speculation in the car that the incident was related to the fight club made by Saint Sissi, was Zach really not going to join the investigation?

Actually, we should believe Zach, not that he won't intervene, but at least not now. Zach was hypocritical to wait for James to ask. So if Walter had said that after noon, Zach would have graciously admitted it. Didn't James say he would meet at his house at noon?

In the parking lot behind Pixar's department store, Zach also came, and when Grande was renovating, didn't Austin recommend the second-hand store here. Zach arrives with a cart of old furniture and bumps into Ryan and his mother.

I don't know if it's a coincidence. While Zach was helping Walter with the boxes, Austin, the little head of the renovation company who had suffered a lot of 'grievances' in Grande, was chatting with his friend next to him.

"Uh......" Austin still had bruises on both of his eye sockets, for unknown reasons, he probably didn't expect to see Zach here, "Grid, Mr. Grande, okay, okay......"

Zach glanced at Walter, who had already rolled his eyes and threw back his vest. Walked over to Austin's side, "What a coincidence. "It's always right to put a smile on the face of someone you know. "Didn't you have a job today? It was just a casual conversation, but at the same time, Zach noticed that his friend at the Austin second-hand store also had bruises on his eyes, and both of them seemed to have been beaten.

"Uh, Hugh, vacation. Austin looked a little embarrassed. Pointing to his bruised eyes, "Work injury leave." ”

Another guy who is on vacation today, if the bad events in Patton are more pointed, the people of this city will not have to work.

"Work injury?" Zach smiled as he looked at the two embarrassed guys, then looked down. The location that Maggie is referring to is almost in the second-hand store.

If Oz Kozier wants to find a hidden place for Emilia to recover from the chaos of people, then the second-hand store that Zach once visited, which was full of second-hand furniture, was the right place.

"Injured work!" The second-hand store owner obviously remembered Zack, after all, he collected Zack's old furniture, and under the reminder of Austin's eyes, he remembered this former customer, "I was beaten up by a nervous disorder! This guy is good!" He pointed to Austin, "I was originally here to chat and be lazy, and by the way, I was beaten up, and I had a work injury break! I still have to guard my own shop here!"

Don't doubt it, the neuro in his mouth is what Emilia told Zach in the car, and Oz knocked a few people out to give her room to recover.

Zach already knew he had found the right person, and he was lucky.

"Hehe, yes. Zach looked around, the business in Pixar was deserted, and the parking lot became empty, Zach had nothing to worry about, his eyes were directly red, "Sounds interesting, I have nothing to do, let's talk to you." Tell me about that neurosis. ”

The eyes of the two of them lost their minds for a moment, and then they felt that there was something wrong with the inexplicable sudden addition of an unfamiliar person in the conversation, and they became excited, "Funny fart! Look at that neuropathic holding a woman as if ......" suddenly paused.

Zach was feeling that things were going well, more and more in line with Oz and Amilia's situation, and raised an eyebrow, "Hold a woman, and then?"

The two men looked into Zach's eyes with a confused look on their faces, "I, what did we just say? What woman?"

Zach frowned, "You said that neurotic was holding a woman. The pupil of charm is something that plays with memory, and Zach used an emphatic tone, which can be regarded as helping the other party strengthen this memory, so that Zach can use his own words, "What kind of woman?" ”

"Woman, woman, what woman ......" The two of them showed confused looks at the same time.

Zach pouted, "That's what you just said." Zach stared at the two opposites, "Please continue." ”

“......”

Zach waited for half a minute, and the other party didn't say anything under the gaze of the enchanting pupil, and stuck at the woman's place.

Zach turned his head, his eyes already back to normal, "You go on." "Let's go, there's no need to waste time.

Back at Pixar, Zach was still in the vicinity of the second-hand store, and he asked everyone in all the open stores in the area one by one, "Excuse me, do you remember yesterday morning, when the explosion occurred, there was a man dressed in a similar style to me, holding a woman here?"

Let's not talk about what the answer Zach got, when Zach asked this, he didn't even use the Charm Pupil, because he didn't need it.

When it comes to erasing a memory, Zach has to make sure that the other person has it, and then it's up to us to see how our vampires play -- whether it's covered with inconsequential false memories, or whether it's a slick modification of the factual memories that make people ignore the details that aren't 'important' and just look at Zack's mood. That's right, no.

However, it took about a quarter of an hour for Zack, who had asked everyone in the area, to confirm that no one here had any memories of Amilia.

Someone walked ahead of Zach. Not only that, but in Zach's opinion, it was quite crude!

Zack's seductive pupils may be due to his gentlemanly style, even if it is to avoid a bill, he fills the coherence of thought of the affected person with at least a false memory. But as a result of this inquiry, Zach was disappointed to find that after seeing Ian's terrible use of the pupil of charm to get a patient like Ryan, he saw the new bottom line of the pupil of enchantment.

Ian's failure lies in his failure to successfully cover up the real memories that should have been replaced, and the part that later became Brian completely covered up, resulting in Ryan having to exist in the same body as Brian due to the influence of the Enchanting Pupil.

The people here, Zach would not say that they were failures, but they were too bad. No matter who made Emilia disappear from these people's memories, he only completed the most basic function of the Charm Pupil - bypassing the basic logic of human labor, and then forcibly snapping continuous memories, and finally stiffly connecting the memories with faults.

Everyone, everyone remembers Oz, but everyone doesn't remember Amilia. In addition to Austen and his friends, two other workers were beaten, and his answer showed even more inferiority of the technique.

"That neurotic person will beat people up, I obviously want to help...... Uh, help, help...... Well, I just stood there, and I didn't provoke anyone! Why did he beat me!" (To be continued.) )
