In the afternoon, Stone's car and Benjamin's van left Grande at the same time, but without knowing what happened to Blake Old Hank's last conversation, the friendly atmosphere between the two completely disappeared and turned into anger. Blake was kicked out of the Grande House by Old Hank.

The process was so rushed that Blake didn't even say goodbye to everyone before he was pushed out the door by a wrinkled old man, "Get out, you kid!"

On Route 27, Blake looked out the window at the parallel vans with an apologetic look on his face. Zack smiled and waved his hand, signaling that the other party didn't have to care, people would choose different lives, some people were as aggressive and offensive as Blake, and some people were like old Hank, who lived in seclusion. For a vampire with a long life, it's just someone, a hundred years, and that's it.

The two cars with too many different styles gradually staggered, and the truck fell behind, and it was really embarrassing to keep going on like this. Benjamin habitually went to tune in to the radio, helplessly remembering that this thing had been sacrificed, frowning and shaking his head, looking helpless.

Zach looked at Benjamin uncomfortably, smiled and beat with his hands, humming the first melody that came to his head.

Benjamin raised an eyebrow and shook his head with a smile, "You're so old." ”

"What's wrong. Zach kept his body moving, "What am I humming? I can't seem to remember." ”

The vampire continued to hum, frowning, pondering the source of this melody.

Benjamin smiled, his fingers moving to the beat on the steering wheel, "I've heard my alpha hum before. ”

"Oh!" Zach grinned, "That's not too old!"

'A frog ......' didn't come to mind, and Zach seemed to remember the lyrics of the fragment, 'With a gun in one hand and a sword in the other.' And tall leather boots that are black and shiny. It's really mighty......'

The smile on Benjamin's face was even stronger, "He heard it from his grandfather. ”

Zach's humming stopped.

"It's a ballad from across the sea. Benjamin glanced at Zach and teased the vampire who accidentally revealed his age.

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth and fell silent.

The lifespan of a human being is too short, and many things are buried by the non-stop advancing time. But for alien races that have lived far longer than humans, something has been preserved. For example, in a ballad, Alpha Benjamin, who has only one-tenth of the Indian blood in his body, actually received the inheritance from his great-grandfather of the previous generation of Alpha, what a peculiar process.

As the trucks entered the bustling North End, the westerly sun was obscured behind the erected buildings. Benjamin staggered the congested road, weaving through the alleys and stopping at the corner of Liszt's backstreet. The two wanted to see James.

The patched iron door was pulled open, and James grimaced. "I should arrest you. ”

Zach smiled and invited himself in, "As long as I can provide the food I need, I have no problem." ”

James's displeasure was palpable, and the detective's job should have been simple - find the killer and catch it. But because he had taken the wrong position and stepped into Barton City, there was now a small additional task to this simple job - to illegally leak the progress of the case to the vampires.

"Here!" James glared at the vampire who walked to the bar and pulled out a wine glass, his eyes tensed and pointed to the couch.

The vampire sat down on the couch dangling someone else's wine glass unconcernedly, and Benjamin was already rummaging around on the coffee table.

"Oh!" Benjamin pouted. "It's going to hurt. "He was looking at a photograph of the police forensics. Contents: A corpse permeated by a crossed steel pipe and suspended in mid-air.

Thinking back to that phrase 'equal punishment' now, it doesn't seem to be too much at all.

James pulled the text past Benjamin's eyes, and the sound of a vampire deliberately raising the bottle of 'wine' and letting the red liquid fall into the glass was the sound of a vampire deliberately raising the bottle high, and a thin red line in his field of vision could not be ignored. James slapped the glass coffee table, "This is my house!"

What a feeble protest.

The two aliens looked at each other and shrugged. "Is there any progress?" Zach asked.

James closed his eyes, trying to calm his agitated feelings, and his voice was low, suppressing his anger, "It will still be handled as an accident." ”

Do you think James Lance will be manipulated by vampires? Did he snap his fingers and bring his case to Zack for a look? No, of course not! But now he did it because of this 'accidental' handling by the police.

James knew from the Herman incident that Grande was taking over commissions from the outside world, and that there was nothing he could do about it. But since this case, this case has intersected with himself, then James can't tolerate his own casual letting Grande be outside!

The case is of an accident nature, and once it is confirmed, the police will get rid of it. Before he arrived, Zach candidly recounted Smith's commission, and the phrase 'equal punishment' was like a hook that held the detective firmly. He couldn't let the police get out of the way, he couldn't let Grande go and do Smith's commission.

Zach pulled out a copy of the text from James's hand and read it, "Time of death, two to three o'clock in the morning......"

James's hand flickered in front of Zack's eyes, and Wen Jiàn returned to the detective's hands!

"I'll tell!" said James, glaring at the vampire and werewolf sitting across from him, sombrely, "you can only listen!"

Uh, this detective's bottom line is really broken by vampires.

And Zach, Zach was satisfied. If Zach had cared so much about completing the commission perfectly, he wouldn't have gone to James and would have gone to Cousson through 'General'. Vampires need James, they need James's moral bottom line to be played, why? Because Zach doesn't want to be a paid tool in the box of those people in the West End, a 'little helper' in family disputes, yes. The 'strong thug' of the conflict of interests, En...... Zach also has to think about it.

The police report doesn't say much more than Smith's account, just puts more emphasis on evidence. For example, the surveillance footage did not show anyone entering or leaving the warehouse after 12 o'clock. Yesterday's inventory was checked with the morning's check, and nothing was found missing. No motive was found in the victim's social relations or family background......

"Surveillance?" Zach frowned, "You said there was surveillance in the warehouse?"

"It's Smith's property!" James glared at Zack, "what do you think!"

Surveillance is a very expensive security measure, consuming ten video tapes in a single night, and recording usually static footage, so it is not as cost-effective as hiring two security guards to cover a small warehouse with dozens of cameras working together at the same time.

James rarely grasped Zack's weakness, he didn't want to give up lightly, "What's the matter? Did you just find out? I thought you came to me when you knew there was surveillance!"

"You're thinking too much. Zach raised an eyebrow and looked at James with a smile, "Smith respects my rules, I can ask him to turn off the surveillance and let me investigate." ”

Grande's rule is not to disclose the process, so Zack's statement is very reasonable.

Looking at James's gloomy face, Zach didn't want to provoke the detective, "So didn't the surveillance capture the whole process?"

There was a hint of irritation on James's face, "There are only two cameras, located at the front and back doors, and there are no inside the warehouse. ”

So, it's just a gimmick. Zach shook his head and looked at James with a smile, "It seems that your work has been thorough, and I didn't find anything worth going deeper. ”

James looked into the eyes of the vampire ghost, which was a compliment, but it sounded unpleasant.

Zach waved his hand, "James, I don't mean anything else. Your habit of always thinking in the wrong direction of me is going to change. Zach looked at Benjamin with a smile, "What do you think, replying to Smith tomorrow is an accident, how about ending it?"

Benjamin's opinion was very important, and the idea that the House of Grande would not become a tool for anyone, and the tendency of the House of Grande to become entangled in the interests of some people (Book V, Chapter 2), were the first things that came to his mind.

Benjamin raised his hand, "Just go around the warehouse at night and show your face." ”

"Look. Zach turned to James and smiled, "You can rest assured." With that, Zakra pulled Benjamin, "It's time for us to go to the party." ”

Benjamin had an impatient expression, today is Sunday, that is, the day of the ** bar party, Zach decided to take Benjamin with him, after all, the Grande House is controlled by two brothers, and he doesn't want people to have himself as the person in charge, ignoring Benjamin's thoughts.

"Wait!" James suddenly stopped the two men who were getting up to leave.

Zach looked at James, who was about to speak, "Is there anything else?"

Please understand James's contradiction now, of course, he expects Grande not to have anything to do with his case. But let's not forget that in some big misunderstanding a month ago, James learned something about Quest's dirty.

Let's refresh our memory, do you remember that when Zach and Benjamin first visited Quest Manor, Quest pushed away his assistant and said something like this: "Yuri can wait!" (Volume 4)

Our vampire didn't know the connection between these things yet, but now, Zach looked at James's eyes full of complicated feelings, thought, and asked, "What's wrong James, do you have anything else to say?"

Zach pursed his lips and smiled, "Let me say it another way." James Lance, is there anything you can do to help?"

The person who is unwilling to accept the outcome of the 'accident' is not Smith who will entrust Grande, but James in front of him. (To be continued......)
