9 Darcy and Bell
"I'm counting on you to let me make Bishop active on the Barton stage again~"
Blake instantly remembered that not long ago, 'Mr. Bishop' had just reorganized the team of lawyers in the Bishop Group, so his immediate reaction was, "Mr. Bishop, what do you want to do?"
"It's not what I want to do~" Mr. Bishop kept smiling, "It's us, what to do." "Shake the glass again and walk out of the room where he was about to say goodbye to his youth," Barton was born from Newton by Bishop. "This history, everyone knows, don't look back," now~" Don't say it, "We should go down too, the dinner party is still going on~ You, the protagonist, shouldn't disappear for too long......"
'Mr. Bishop' is right, the guests, like Alice and Maya, don't care how long their physical needs disappear, but Blake is the host. Let's go to see the main banquet ......
No. Something happened to Grandry, we had to go back.
In the darkness of the night, a black car rushed into Grande, "Zach Ray Grand!" Zach was unimpressed by the voice of the car and the voice of getting out of the car at the same time, "Zach Ray Grand!" shouted Zach continuously, anxiously, and even angrily.
Zach is watching TV with Louise in the entertainment room, chatting about Louise's hospital: the Inheritors and Drake.
Zach and Louise had heard the car on the dirt road in advance, but because it was an unfamiliar sound, neither Zach nor Louise thought they were coming to Grande.
In the past, all the cars that drove on this dirt road could have been counted on Grande, after all, there were no other buildings on the road except for the church of the Holy Child, which no one went to.
But since Pochquinn became Grande's neighbor, all the cars that could get to the dirt road had new options. Basically...... Let's drive it at five, the sound of the car that Zach can hear is that he is looking for Grande, and if he hasn't heard it, he is looking for Pochquin.
This time, Zach also thought that he was looking for Poch, and he didn't prepare to welcome the guests in advance. Before hearing the roar of the car's engine driving directly past Pochi's house, he also glanced at Louise.
Anyway, I didn't know anyone, Zach was not in a hurry, so I asked Louise not to bother, stay in the entertainment room and watch TV, while he got up and looked at the window, "You're going in the wrong direction, I'm here." At the window, he raised his hand to the stranger who was rushing towards the employee's living quarters.
The other party heard Zack's voice, turned his head sharply, stunned for a moment, and then quickly glanced back and forth at the main building of Grande and the staff living quarters in the north and south directions. Apparently for first-time visitors to Grande, the living quarters are more like a place to stay at night.
The man shook his head, throwing away meaningless thoughts, "Come down and help!"
Zach raised an eyebrow, forgot it, stepped back from the window, gestured to Louise, and left the recreation room and went downstairs.
Halfway down, he frowned and sped up his pace, and Zack smelled blood.
on the back porch. Zach saw the stranger trying to drag a man wrapped tightly in a blanket over.
Zach approached, glanced at the wrapped person, frowned even tighter, pushed away the stranger who was in the way, picked up the wrapped person, and walked quickly into Grande.
I was afraid that there was no time to go upstairs, so Zach made a turn and entered the restaurant. Jason sat at the table, holding a bowl of cereal with a blank expression. When he saw Zach coming in, he was stunned for a moment, immediately lost the bowl in his hand, and removed the obstructive furnishings from the dining table.
Zach glanced at Jason approvingly, and without any more remarks, the man on his shoulder lay flat on the table.
This person is the chief of the Barton Police Department, the inheritor Darcy.
Untied the blanket, Darcy looked at Zack tremblingly, "Help, save me......" and was no longer able to express anything.
Darcy's exposed skin is an abnormal mix of cyan and red. Cyan dominates the area, and red is just a few elongated wounds. Zach wasn't going to speculate much about what Darcy had gone through, and after saving people, the situation could be explained.
Instead, Zach looked back at the stranger who rushed in, and under the coat that he accidentally opened during the other party's impatient action, he saw the police badge pinned to his waist, but the pattern was ...... It's a little different.
Zach wasted no time and reached out with a thimble hand to press Darcy's chest, Darcy's hypothermia had just been transmitted to Zack's senses......
"Save him!!," cried the strange non-Barton detective.
Zach glanced at the guy expressionlessly, as if asking, 'I don't know how to save again, what are you shouting?' At the same time, the thimble had begun to glow red with blood, and the controlled fluid solidified as it applied to Darcy's skin, turning solid and piercing into Darcy's body.
The strange detective was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Darcy's complexion was returning to normal. Those elongated wounds are also healing and disappearing.
The strange detective looked at Zack in embarrassment, and then pointed to the thimble on Zack's finger, "I, I didn't know you had this kind of mechanism......" Apparently using Sam as Zack's equipment.
Still expressionless, Zach withdrew his gaze and looked at Darcy as he recovered. It's not like Zach didn't think about anything. In fact, in this short period of time, Zach has already guessed the identity of this stranger.
The first to reveal his identity was his accent, he wasn't a Patton, not even a Federalist Easterner. This accent is heard very often by Zach when he is in the western city of Vega.
The second is his police badge. Because James, a detective with a deep 'love' for Grande, had lived in Grandry for a long time, and Zach was familiar with Patton's identification as a law enforcer. Although Zack only aimed at the pattern on the police badge of this strange police detective, with Zack's familiarity with the police badge, he had already seen the abbreviated logo on the police badge representing the jurisdiction of a police detective. Barton's is BD, with J's, Zach doesn't have to think much about the federal city, it must be Vega.
The third, naturally, this guy was urging him in a hurry just now, only people who know about vampires know that vampires save people and need to be bloodletting, do you remember, Zach used to pay attention to the 'general' education link.
Zach tells the 'General' that he must learn to control the speed at which he heals, to have the ability to injure himself, and to have the ability to drain blood when needed, such as saving the life of his friend. Otherwise, the vampire is a monster that only steals blood from other creatures and cares only about its own existence.
Fourth. Yes and fourth, Zach kind of remembered that he had heard this voice before, on the phone.
Seeing that Darcy was steadily recovering, Zach withdrew his bleeding hand. Glancing at the detective, "Welcome to Barton, and ...... I forgot your name, you need to introduce yourself again. "Well, that's pretty straightforward.
The corner of the detective's eyes twitched at the corner of the Vega's eyes, "I didn't expect you to remember, call me...... Bell, Eun, Bell. ”
Zach looked at the other party's face and confirmed that this Bell was just a temporary name, and didn't question anything, "Okay, Bell, do you want to explain." ”
"I don't have anything to explain to you, I just arrived at Patton, and I don't want to show up at the Patton police station and be seen!" Glancing at Zack, he actually opened his coat at the same time and put away the police badge on his waist, "I went directly to Darcy's house, and I saw the police chief of your city lying dying in his living room! If it weren't for the fact that I was not familiar with the city and didn't know the means of transportation to you for a while, I wouldn't have taken out my police badge and requisitioned civilian vehicles!"
It seems that it is still necessary to remind who this detective who deliberately goes by the pseudonym Bell is
When the pressure of Vega's interracial murder case was increasing, a Viga detective called Grande and asked about the situation because Zach was the only 'eyewitness' to the case.
At that time, I didn't pay attention to this little episode anymore. Hey, part of the reason was that James's White Lotus attitude at the time was disgusting to us. Do you remember? In a Vega interracial case, when Zach didn't quite know what was going on, James was jumping up and down from the distance of Barton.
As for later, the murder of the alien race turned into a human being and was implicated in death, and Patton's side gradually uncovered the ...... 'influence' of Ms. West in certain matters, plus Miley Lister was joined by Frank into the team of the Demon Feast, everyone began to consciously avoid this case.
The detective who used to talk to Zach on the phone has long been left behind his memory. After Madison unilaterally announced that he would not share his and Ms. West's manuscripts with the outside world, the whole thing completely disappeared from Zack's attention.
However, everyone can relax, the antisocial murder case that happened in Vega will not return to Zack's attention list just because this Vega detective came to Barton. Because, 'I don't want to show my face at the Patton Police Station', he put away his badge to show that it was just a prop used to save Darcy at the time. Isn't that enough to tell the story?
This Bell did not come to Barton on official business.
Zach looked sideways without any blame, looking back at Darcy, seemingly waiting for Darcy to fully recover before asking, "I don't like strange cars in Grandry." Literally, let this Detective Bell return the car wherever it was requisitioned. It no longer literally means: since you coincidentally bumped into the life-threatening event that Darcy endured, then continue to treat it as a coincidence, bye-bye~ You can go.
You can analyze Zach's thoughts
It's just to maintain the face of the city of Barton. The big boss, the city's enforcer, experienced a life-threatening incident, and was actually rescued by a police detective who came from afar. Shame on you.
Detective Bell obviously understood the meaning of Zack's words, frowned, fumbled in his pocket, and pulled out a bunch of business cards that were not his own, "This is the hotel advertisement that I was stuffed at the entrance of your Betch station......" He pouted and pulled out a business card casually, "That's it." Then he wrote down the information on the business card he had chosen, "I'll register under the name Bell." "The business card was handed to Zack.
Zach glanced at the bell. This man does things...... In this short contact, the unexpected has given people a very thoughtful feeling.
You can imagine what kind of inns are advertised at the exit of Becky Station. The Bell Detective had made it clear that he didn't want to use his real identity at Barton, so naturally, he needed a place to stay without verifying his identity. That's what he just did in front of Zach.
In the meantime, let's think hard about what it means for him to tell Zach about his stay.
The detectives from Vega City, we can determine one characteristic, that is, Zach is a law enforcer who has experienced it in Vega, and he doesn't like vampires who control power.
But as far as these contacts are concerned, although they are short-lived, we have found that this Detective Bell has any hostility towards vampires, heh, at least Zack, no, even if Zach bluntly said that he didn't remember his name.
Instead, he took the initiative to tell the other party where he lived, which is usually used to express sincerity.
Although it is not enough to conclude that this Detective Bell intends to get close to Grande, it can at least be confirmed that he did not talk to Zack with western prejudices, and intends to continue to communicate with Zack, so he will tell Zack his future address.
The first contact of impartiality is the beginning of the good ** stream. Zach needed to admit this, and nodded as he accepted the business card handed to him.
Bell saw that Zach had taken the card, and nodded without any extra expression, and then looked at Director Darcy, who had recovered enough to sit up on his own. Bell didn't copy another address to Darcy, but, "You seem to have something on hand, I won't bother you for a few days, I'll visit you again after a while." After speaking, he bowed slightly in respect and finally left.
Zach watched everything from the side, and didn't feel that the last respect meant to be false, and looked at Darcy, "You have a friendship?"
"With him? no, I had some friendship with his grandfather in the last cycle of my life. Darcy's words were the same...... Ay. The life cycle of the inheritor, forget it, not much more.
Zach had a new idea. Remember Zach's original impression of Darcy? Darcy is a political compromise that Anthony made to the Devil's Banquet in order to keep the Cologne director, right, Darcy parachuted into Patton, a famous police family in the west, and took Cologne's place.
Here's the point, Darcy is the inheritor of the Demon Feast. It can be seen that the Demon Banquet is trying to change the contradiction between the power class and the law enforcers in the western society, and Darcy's so-called police family should be the product of this attempt.
Zach didn't want to talk much about the Magic Feast, "What's wrong with you?"
"I've been attacked, Kraken. Darcy's face darkened, and he glanced at Zach, "You probably don't know. Last night, there was a ...... in a nightclub"
"I know. Zach pointed at Jason and repeated, "I know. ”
Darcy only now noticed the panicked Jason who had been standing in the corner and couldn't find his way out.
The corners of Darcy's mouth twitched, and he said, "Tsk, it is written in the report that some of the suspects fled the scene and were hiding from you......"
Jason, who had been terrified and didn't know what was going to happen...... "Wait a minute, what are you talking about??suspect???I ??!"
