4 Police stations
Wes sat at James's desk, boredly rummaging through James's personal belongings, while James sat at Curson's desk and didn't mind.
"You're still keeping this. Wes smiled and pulled out a dagger from under the pile of papers in the drawer. This is a military dagger with dense hooks on the back of the knife, which is used for bloodletting. Once in close combat, this will be a life-saving trap for the Soldier, used to quickly take out approaching enemies and switch back to hot weapons.
"Yesterday I saw that you didn't use this one, and I thought you had lost it. Wes looked at James and turned the dagger in his hand.
James didn't look good, tired, and had something else. He lowered his voice, "Yesterday the dagger was specially made, and there was silver in it, right ......" James frowned, "those things." His eyes swept around, the police station was as usual, with people coming and going, and James didn't say anything that didn't fit the context, "It's useful." β
Wes nodded, and seeing that James seemed to remember something, he removed a spherical metal gadget from his belt, quickly tucked it into his drawer, and made a 'don't say it' expression to his friend.
Wes nodded, flicking his hand in the drawer, and what James had just put in was blocked by a clutter of text. But Wes still asked curiously in a low voice, "What is this?"
"Grenade. James replied with a grimace.
James is not stupid, how could he run unprepared to go undercover with the devil. So he took advantage of his authority and 'faught' some gadgets from the Evidence Section in case of emergency.
Remember the weapons that Rivench's fellow hunters found at their makeshift base after they were arrested on charges of murdering Ryan? Rivench's death penalty was convicted.
It's a pity that James didn't dare to use it after seeing it with his own eyes (Volume 2, Chapter 30). There's nowhere to use it, fried Zack. Zach also has an Ellie next to him who doesn't know the details, and Chester, who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and James doesn't dare to use it.
"Welcome to my hometown. Wes looked at James and burst out laughing.
James glanced at Wes, gave him a punch, and was in a better mood.
After being forcibly terminated last night. By the time he returned to the police station with Jason and his party, James had already explained to his friends Zach's identity and what he had encountered since he arrived at Barton, vampires, werewolves, demons, shapeshifters, ...... And, of course, Mayor Anthony.
Wes shook his head occasionally, and occasionally with a look of realization. At the end, he summed it up, 'I grew up in this kind of place. β
So, when Wes now uses 'hometown' to refer to Barton, James has a sense that he is not a person in a way that Chapman cannot give.
Curson hurried back to his desk, shoved James who was occupying his desk, "Don't touch my breakfast!" and took something and hurried away.
Wes's eyes glanced at Corson. "What's he busy with anymore?"
The case is over, Jason and the others have been interrogated all night, and everything that can come out of their mouths has been recorded. In exchange for testifying. They were given an agreement of total exculpation.
Of course, Gangero's pupil of charm was still working, so something was said by James and Wes. It's half a lie, but with Zack's half-concealed explanation, James has at least understood that the top of Fight Club is not something that human cops can deal with. So a public face was used to fill in the question mark on the display board.
Ordinarily. At this point, the work on this side of the Barton Police Department has been completed. Because after all, it's Newton who really wants to catch that question mark. Not Barton. The Barton Police Department is here just to stop things from getting as bad as Newton. As for the portrait painted on the wanted list, we can only hope that no one will actually look like that.
James glanced at Curson, who was radiating exhaustion. lowered his voice, "He still has something, he needs to figure out the real purpose of Newton's side." James frowned, he was very much in favor of the double undercover operation of the Cologne chief, and even he already knew that the Newton Police Department was actually controlled by demons behind it.
"What's the use?" Wes shook his head, "that's their Newton business." β
James didn't quite understand either, but there was too much difference between the chief and the detective, and he wasn't prepared to guess what his boss's boss thought, as long as Corson was still at Patton and safe, he didn't care.
The phone rang.
James looked at the phone on Curson's desk that was trembling slightly because it was ringing, and hesitated, he was not as casual as Curson, but he still picked up the phone, "Detective Curson's phone." β
"Ugh. The other party was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Detective Lance! is that you?"
James frowned, remembering that it was the General's voice, "Is there anything wrong with you?" Corson was busy and didn't have time. For no reason, James wanted to hang up, even if it was Colson's informant.
"Detective Reim!" The General's tone was not affected by James's coldness in the slightest, "Seth is back, how is it, is your business going smoothly?"
James's face darkened, and when he came out of the room last night, Seth was already standing in the doorway, frowning and saying, 'Zach is right, we can't beat the saints.' Then he disappeared into the night without knowing what (Dylan) was explaining to what a saint was. James only vaguely heard one name, 'Moses.'
"You wait. "James put the receiver aside, and of course he understood that the 'General' was reminding him, 'I just did something for Cousson, and Coulson should return the favor,' so James turned around and caught up with Cousson muttering something as he walked upstairs.
"The 'General' is looking for you. β
Curson glanced at James, snorted irritably, and ran back to pick up the phone, "What!"
I didn't know what was said on the other side of the receiver, so Cousson pouted, "Find someone to send me a picture!
"Hey, how long are we going to stay here?" called out James to Corson.
Curson waved his hand impatiently, "Ask the boss." β
James really didn't want to stay in this place any longer, so he beckoned to Wes and ran up the floor with Curson.
The Commissioner of Cologne did not leave the police station all night, and the testimony of Jason and others had to be reviewed by him, and the news that Cousson had brought to him from the Newton Police Department, and he was busier than everyone else.
James knocked on the door of the director's office, got a response, and pushed the door open.
Cologne glanced at the general's son, and his gaze returned to the text in front of him, "The people in the southern district who are in the Grande have withdrawn. β
James frowned, and when he returned, he immediately heard about the 'accident' in the South End, and the owner of the Grande family broke through the car at the police station and left Grande for no reason. The vampire really didn't leave James with much leeway, and he had to reveal to the director that Grande was his informant.
It's just that Director Cologne looked at James a little strangely at that time.
Come to think of it, it is not difficult for the relationship between the 'General' and Corson to be known by the police department, because Colson used to be the patrol officer in that area, and he also specially arranged for the patrol to patrol and protect the 'General''s territory' during the most chaotic time in the southeast.
But the relationship between James and Grande left no trace except that it was confined to the realm of personal communication. According to common sense, the two simply cannot be related. So it is conceivable that Cologne was very surprised when he heard that the general's son actually had a cooperative relationship with the once famous 'cleaners' of Barton.
Oh yes, cleaning people, which means that if there is something unclean such as a corpse or something, it needs to be cleaned and disappeared, and the two old men who are looking for Grande are.
But now, Grande doesn't seem to be doing the same business as before, and has become a bit like Rippet, and it's all high-end business. Cologne can't tell whether this is better or worse, just know that it's better not to anger these guys, after all, they are in a competitive relationship.
Yes, No's relationship with the police is higher than that of the 'general'!
"Me and Wes. James really didn't want to answer, "Can you go?" β
"Yes. Cologne glanced at James, "This mission is well accomplished, and I have a very different view of you." Have a good rest today. β
James felt a little stuff in his chest, 'Well done'? He really didn't know what he had accomplished! As soon as he found his way, he was broken into Zach to end the whole mission, and it had nothing to do with him and Wes to get Jason to testify honestly.
Wes had already spoken in detail what Zach had said to Jason before James came. The vampire apparently used the conflict that arose in another case to put psychological pressure on Jason and his party to switch sides. James really didn't feel like he had contributed the slightest bit to the case......
"About my report. James decided to make himself feel better, that is, to make some real contributions, "the paper that was transferred from the Hermann factory......"
Director Cologne waved his hand and frowned, "Forget about that." β
James was stunned.
Cologne looked up at James, "You'd better not let the slightest crush I had for you disappear again." Cologne shook his head, "Let me ask you something." Did you get the paper?"
James shook his head.
Cologne continued, "Do you know what's on it?"
Shake oneβs head.
"Ellie, Chester, these two, did we catch them?"
Shake oneβs head.
Cologne looked at James and snorted, "Did Herman call the police and say he lost something?"
James frowned and shook his head.
"You can go. (To be continued)
