The impression was already bad, and Zach looked at Emilia, not thinking that she was someone who would change her opinion lightly. Of course, part of her job is to judge people, and her profession allows her to affirm her own judgment.

So Zach doesn't have anything to detour, let's just say it. Zach pulled out the creased letter and handed it to Emilia, "Did James tell me why I was taken to the police station?" ”

Emilia didn't answer the letter, nor did she answer Zack's question, but leaned back in her chair and looked at the letter that had been placed on the desk with a slanted downward gaze, "Why do you think that a police detective would discuss with a civilian why he arrested someone. ”

Emilia not only used James's rhetoric, but also corrected Zach's wording by the way, which was 'grasping', not 'belting'.

As soon as he started to get down to business, Zach lost the lead.

But we know that Zach is also a good guy with words, and he pursed his lips and tried to fight back, "Detectives and civilians." I thought you were supposed to be a doctor-patient relationship. Zach tried to add, "He should believe in you and open his heart to you." ”

Zach felt that his counterattack was very good, and looked at the honors and certificates on the wall, "If these are the things that troubles James, your job is to let him sue you, and then solve the ......"

Suddenly, Zach realizes that he is about to be despised again. The point is not that Zack has not stopped being despised since he came here anyway, but that Emilia dug a trap, and Zack actually jumped straight down!

"It's funny, you know my relationship with James. Emilia snorted, "What is my relationship with you, do I need an answer to you?" ”

Zach shook his head, forget it. Our vampires really don't want to fight anything anymore today, when they have been frustrated. There was a hint of melancholy in my heart.

Zach looked away, "Alright, Amilia, I only have half an hour to ......"

"Twenty minutes. Emilia corrected.

"......" Zach opened his mouth, "Okay, twenty minutes." Let's set the floor. I don't want to use the Pupil of Charm on you. But I also want to get the information I need. Zach didn't even want to make a face, because who knew that a psychiatrist with a bunch of honorary credentials would add something to his already bad enough impression of Zack, such as hypocrisy?

Emilia frowned in an instant, surprised. But she controls it very well, and ordinary people can't detect it.

Zach is not an ordinary person, and it can be regarded as an explanation, "Don't be surprised. It was James who asked me to come to you. No matter how you interpret James' relationship with me, the truth is, in order to maintain my 'friend' relationship with James, I will not do anything more than he can do to the people around him beyond what he is acceptable as a human detective. ”

Just a reminder of the origin of this statement -- what happened when James discovered that Curson had his memories obscured by the Eyes of Charm during the Chapman incident? After that, because of such discord, the development of every incident was terrible and disgusting to everyone.

Zach paused. Shaking his head helplessly, "If you are a doctor who is responsible." If you know James, you should know what I mean. ”

Emilia's eyes rolled slightly, this was a white eye that could not be expressed too clearly because of her identity. She understood. James is a defensive, persistent guy living in his own closed world, barely able to communicate reasonably.

"James asked you to come?" Emilia didn't bother with her momentary thoughts. She also had the same skills, and she could sense Zack's 'sincerity' in seeking information at this time. But this was what caught her attention, "What are you doing here?"

Zach pointed to the letter that had been pushed in front of Emilia, "You should take a look. ”

Emilia frowned and picked up the letter. Looks.

In the process, Zach also begins to narrate. Since Emilia has made it clear that her relationship with Dr. James is such that she will not reveal what James has said to her, Zack's narrative can only begin from the beginning.

But, naturally, Zach omitted the 'inconsequential' stuff, like the reason he went to the southeast to get blood.

"It's probably been too long since I've done something like that. Zach explained with self-deprecation, "I didn't notice anyone paying attention to my actions." ”

This explanation has not had any effect. Emilia glanced at Zach with a sneer, "I don't care where you usually get your food. When he continued to read the reply, he mended the knife in a low voice, "Southeast, you really know how to choose a place." ”

Remember Emilia's questioning when James spoke about the South East yesterday as well? She did not see anything on the news about the murders in the southeast.

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth and continued to narrate......

"James had a habit of questioning my character. Zach used self-deprecation again, "Even though he's a friend of Grande, there's a limit to my tolerance. Zach looked at Emilia who had already put down the letter, "So this time I decided to go the other way." Words didn't work well on James, and I wanted him to use facts and make the body remember that it was always thinking of me badly, and it didn't do anyone any good. ”

Emilia waved her hand and took Zack's words, "So you simply don't refute his accusations, 'voluntarily' hand over the first two as evidence, and go to the police station." Emilia shook her head, her expression cold, "You want to push him into a corner." For you, it's just a lesson for him. ”

Zach frowned, "I've always been willing to think you're the more rational side, at least because of Harrison. Zach turned his gaze away, and covered up some feelings with helplessness and convenience, "You don't have too much prejudice against aliens. The lesson was certainly a lesson, but I also provided him with a workable solution. ”

Zach looked back at Emilia, "It was my intention to force James into the corner, but I opened a door for him. If he pesters me and thinks I'm a murderer, that's the real dead end. Zach pointed to the letter that was put back on the table, "The murderer is here." ”

Emilia thought for a moment, and Zach had already told everything that had happened, and the case that James had been dodging yesterday was completely clear. She nodded, then shook her head again.

Because Emilia doesn't think that's all, obviously. At this very moment, the door that Zach opened for James was, for some reason, closed.

The first is that James did not send a search warrant as Emilia expected after yesterday's treatment, but instead took leave for the next treatment in advance. said that he was going to leave Barton to go for a break (Comic Con).

The second is that Zach was not locked up in the police station, not only was he released yesterday, but he also came here today with a third letter.

"Although you said that the original intention was to 'push into a corner', 'the real murderer'. Emilia said this as her gaze shifted to her schedule, as if to confirm something, "I don't see anything going well. James seems to be on vacation. She looked at Zach, "You're looking for clues here." ”

Zach pursed his lips. Suddenly changed the topic, "Quest just now......"

Emilia frowns.

Zach waved his hand, "Don't talk about him, I want to ask you psychiatrists in addition to Quest, usually there will really be some, well, big people come here for treatment......" Zach changed to a more neutral word. "'Psychological adjustment', is it?"

Emilia didn't answer. She didn't have to answer the question that wasn't about vampire.

Zach doesn't care, "What I'm trying to say is, if there is, maybe you'll hear some rumors that there's something big going on at Barton." Zach pursed the corners of his lips, "I changed my mind for a moment." It connects two things. I don't know if you're concerned about Grande's current situation, but I realize that Grande has attracted too much attention and is not suitable for continuing to be exposed and noticed for the sake of James's personal malice. ”

Zach was telling the truth. When yesterday in the interrogation room. When he heard the two-heartbeat after hearing the two-way mirror and was paying attention to the situation in the room, Zach realized that the name 'Grande' had appeared too many times in the sight of some characters during this time.

Not everything goes smoothly. Benjamin had mentioned before that before everyone could pay attention to the Hermann factory, Grande had to put up with everyone's attention and spread out in other parts of Grande's involvement.

Remember, even in the gray professional circle where Grande lives, after the attack on Grande, even if there is a 'general' who directly circulates information, there are still people who are more willing to pay attention to Smith, and some people who are 'smart' who pay more attention to Sharp who has a tragic accident at the same time......

And this time, Zach thought that Grande wouldn't be so lucky, with No's help to distract others from Smith, and Jackson's funeral to dispel other people's attention from Sharp.

Emilia looked down in thought, and Zach was very vague and didn't know if she could keep up. But it didn't matter, Emilia looked up, pushed the letter back to Zach on the table, and asked directly, "What do you want?" ”

"When I was looking for James before, this was the only thing he said, let me come to you. "I can understand why he doesn't want to take care of this case anymore, but I don't really understand why he hasn't been willing to tell me the sender he met." Zach retracted the letter, "I hope to find an answer from you." ”

Emilia was silent for a moment, looking around with an impatient look, "You're going to be disappointed, I can't give you an answer." ”

She's lying, she's lying at no level. The wandering gaze, the arms raised, the obvious disconnected answers, the obvious body language all illustrate this.

Zach really didn't think a psychiatrist could be such a bad liar.

"And what can you give me?" Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, in a more peaceful way.

Emilia was silent again, as if thinking.

Zach looked at the regular wall clock on the wall, where the amount of time he could stay was shrinking. It's a pity that the bottom line of this conversation, Zach has already said early - he won't use the Eyes of Enchantment.

Remember what I said earlier, the difference between a vampire and a werewolf? not the one that Sbella said about restoring power, but Benjamin after losing the 'cat fight' with James.

For vampires, confrontation with humans will never degenerate to the point of violence. The vampire's racial talent gives them a better solution to their eyes.

During this conversation, Zach gives up using his eyes, leaving only violence. It's still a pity, Zach thinks he's a gentleman, and Emilia across from her is a weak (human) woman, that's the case.

Time is being wasted.

"I can sue you something. Emilia finally spoke, touched by Zack's gentlemanly demeanor?, who knows, "I accept that James is your friend." ”

Emilia shifted her sitting position and flipped through her notes, "Let me be James's psychiatrist, and you be James's friend." Emilia looked at Zach, "Let's talk about the person we all 'care about'." ”

Zach didn't quite understand what Emilia meant, but nodded anyway. The reason Emilia did this can only be that she has some information, but she can't say it directly, she can only remind it from the side. Let's look at the direction of the conversation.

Emilia flipped through her notes, "James is stubborn. She shook her head, helpless, "He didn't want to say anything he didn't want to say." Emilia shook her head again, "Threats with work, stimulation with his family, nothing works. ”

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, looking at the time that was coming to an end, waiting only to hear the main point.

Emilia ignored Zach's expression and continued, "Now I know why he's so silent, huh. Glancing at Zach, "With a friend like you, his stubbornness is very suitable. It means that a large part of James's life is occupied by interracial things, not that James himself does not want to say it, but that he cannot say it.

"Not very accurate summary. Emilia paused, "The reason he's silent about the others is because you." Can you keep up with me? ”

Zach frowned, of course he could keep up with Emilia's meaning.

However, it is not this obvious summary that makes Zach pay attention, but this sentence structure, which can be easily flipped and deconstructed, into a rhetorical question, and Zach speaks, "So, why is he silent about me?" The question comes back to here.

Emilia didn't respond, "I'm his doctor, and so far, our communication hasn't made much progress except for wasting time, but I've made an effort. Emilia flipped through her notes, "For example, yesterday, I finally used my psychological expertise to provide a consultative approach to get him to speak vaguely about a case that did not appear in the news. ”

Emilia looked at Zach with a serious look in her eyes, "Although I have made it clear that I have what he seeks. At this point, Emilia put away her schedule, "but it still didn't happen, and he continued to be silent. ”

Zach looked at Emilia and raised an eyebrow. The first thing that came to mind was that James made an effort to track down the case after it was forcibly terminated by his superiors yesterday.

"Your time is up. ”

To be fair, Zach got the message. (To be continued......)
