A new week has begun, and Lola didn't come back to the Grande House over the weekend because of her protective grounding. Alice was busy for a week at the charity food making work and was able to take a break for the time being.

On Tuesday night, as the moon hung in the east, which had begun to round and fill, Louise lay in a hammock in the backyard of the Grande House with a thin blanket over her body.

She didn't look at Zach on the side, there was a hint of thought in the corners of her slightly crooked eyes, as if she wasn't sure if she wanted to ask the next thing: "There's one in the basement, well, chained, man." ”

Zack's closed eyes opened, and what had been a good night seemed to come to an end.

"You see?"

Louise frowned sensitively, and Zack's rhetorical question had no practical meaning other than to delay the time to think about the words. This is a wise woman who knows how to read a man's heart.

"I saw it. Louise's eyelashes instigated, "In the afternoon, Old Hank asked me to sort out the newspaper of the month. Then I saw that his foot fell out and I helped him stuff it back. ”

Zach looked at Louise with a smile on his face, "Then I'll thank you for him." ”

So that 'man' is still alive?, Louise held back her thoughts and asked, "Who is he?" and she met Zack's gaze and asked lightly.

"What do you think?" Zach asked again, for the same purpose as before, and he hadn't thought about how to introduce Ian Anthony to Louise.

Louise's nose twitched slightly, and the disappointment on her face disappeared in an instant. Her rosy lips opened: "I guess he's ......"

"Zach!" James appeared on the back porch of the Grande House, pushed open the door, and shouted to the two men in the hammock.

Zach smiled apologetically at Louise, got up from the hammock, and walked over to James.

James is not in good spirits, and it has been four days since the bus station warehouse was discovered last Friday, and the investigation and public opinion are oppressing the Barton Police Department at the same time, and it is very rare for James to be able to come to the Grand House in person.

In the past few days, there has been a sharp increase in suicides in Barton City, all in the same way, with the X-shaped wound on the chest up to the heart, in a cruel and bloody way. So far, more than 30 people have committed suicide. The definition of a cult has become clearer, and the pressure of public opinion on the police has also increased.

According to the police, this was a 'demonstration' by the members of the cult when the cult's stronghold was discovered by the police. In fact, it was only the police who obtained a list in the warehouse at the bus stop, and this list was passed on by James to the Tempests, who made the necessary 'persuasion'.

James was stuck in the gap he didn't want to face. This list is theoretically an important clue that can help the police get the cult members, but in reality, these people are under Papa's midnight accusation, and it is impossible for them to reveal any useful information.

Now the police have begun to take action, trying to rein in the people who are still alive on these lists, but the suicides continue, and even in front of the police, the way the Hurricanes 'persuade' people make James feel alien to the world he has lived in for more than 20 years.

"Are you alright?" Zach looked at James with some relaxation, the lovely Mr. Detective had helped him avoid a trouble!

"Not good. James hung his head and sat down at Zach's desk.

In the office, near the side of the bookcase, boxes of materials were placed on the wooden workbench, and on the spread out work notes were the investigation records of the civil servant Wells, which were spread out and thrown at the Grande House. Recently, the work of civil servants has been getting slower and slower, and their attitude has become less and less serious. Zach was very happy about the change, which meant that someone's mind was not at work at all.

James looked at the workbench on the side, a little dazed, one morning, he sat behind this table, replaced the information text Jiàn with the sandwich and coffee that Alice prepared for Benjamin, the light was replaced by the early spring morning sun, and the people in the office added Louise and Benjamin, and his identity became 'Kim Grande'.

At that time, he was still telling Louise that she should go to the police when she had a problem. Now, someone called the police, but what did he do?

Syllable!

James's hand slapped on his desk! An inexplicable curse suddenly erupted from the mouth of the son of a well-educated general.

Zach frowned, but did not stop James's love from erupting, stood up, pulled out a real wine bottle from the bookshelf, served James a glass, and placed it in front of him.

"Are you better?" asked Zach softly as James finished swearing.

James's chest heaved and heaved, and the tailor-made fitting shirt was stretched out in a flat shape because of the bulging muscles. James gasped, glanced at the wine in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp, Zach went to the last glass again, and his eyes motioned to continue.

James frowned and pushed his glass away.

Zach was pleased with James's self-discipline, "What are you angry about? You seem to have a lot of malice towards the world." ”

After venting, James began to calm down, he shook his head: "No, I'm just disappointed in myself! I know too little, I can do too little! I need to work harder!"

"That's the spirit!" Zach raised an eyebrow, "Now, tell me about the police investigation, you know I've been waiting for you." ”

James's expression was depressed again, and the results of the police investigation made him feel disappointed because the police did not have any results at all!

Let's take a look at the police investigation in the past few days.

Character sketch of a person fleeing from a bus stop: man, medium build, gone. What can you expect a few teenagers to notice?

List of potential cultists found in the warehouse: this list is constantly shortening, because they are constantly committing suicide!

The only place where the police can investigate is...... Identification of corpses in the warehouse!

The walking corpses that had been abandoned after use, but in Papa's midnight eyes, were nothing more than tools, but they were the only things the police could investigate and hope to find any clues.

Zach pondered for a moment, "So now the identities of most of the corpses have been derived?"

James's expression changed to indifferent, "It's all people who died a long time ago, and the police want to find the person who stole the bodies and gathered them into the warehouse." James looked at Zach, "You're going to sue me, but the bodies were on their own, right?" ”

During the investigation, the police found new lacerations on some of the bodies, and it was natural for James to think that Zach and Benjamin had done it. If it was really just an immobile corpse, then there was no need for these two people to attack.

Zach was amused, but still nodded: "Yes, they are the walking corpses accused of zhì." ”

James shook his head and sighed helplessly, he guessed the same. In other words, the police investigation is still a dead end, no one stole the body, it was the body that walked on its own.

The vampire put away his smile and looked at the depressed James, thinking for a moment, and the corners of his eyebrows raised. James's problem was found by him, and in the detective's mind, phenomena beyond common sense accounted for too much weight, and there were too many things that could not be said or explained by common sense, and these things crippled the rationality that a police detective should have.

"Your partner, Detective Cousson is investigating the identity of the body, isn't it?" Zach began to lead.

"Hmph. James replied coldly, "What's the point, he'll never catch the man who 'stole' the body!"

"But he could know where the bodies came from. Zach looked at James, "I can't catch the thief, but he can find a way for the stolen goods to flow through, am I right?"

James glanced at Zack, frowned and thought, "What do you mean?"

"Whether in Corson's mind, someone 'moved' to the warehouse, or as you already know, the body walked to the warehouse on its own. Zach looked at James with satisfaction, "Like any swag, they don't come out of nowhere. Papa midnight, or the middle recruiter, they must know where to find those bodies. ”

James's brow furrowed even tighter, and there was a hint of impatience, and now that they were in the funeral home, Zach asked the question 'Where can I find the body?' in a serious way, and James turned his head around: "You are a place like this." ”

"What about Curson's findings. Zach looked at James and continued to ask.

James took a deep breath, "Inform the relatives and friends of those people, and open the grave to verify it...... What do you think?"

Zach can imagine that scene similar to what is happening at Ford's graveyard right now.

"What cemetery did those bodies belong to?" Zach used 'some'.

"It's everywhere. James shook his head and replied, "Return your men in the cemetery in the West End." ”

"And what do they have in common?" Zach asked.

"What do they have in common?" James glared at Zack, "Corpses, that's what they have in common!"

"No, Detective Lance. Zach shook his head: "They haven't been dead for a long time, they are all corpses of nearly two years, and they are all able-bodied. I can assume that these corpses were rigorously selected. ”

James looked at Zach with some blankness.

"You already know, Benjamin and I had a fight with them. I don't want to brag, but to be able to hold the two of us back, the body of the walking corpse needs to be able to exert its full strength. Zach looked at James, "These bodies were carefully selected, they were strong and whole. Where can people get information about the state of the corpse?"

Perhaps, in other words, it is easier to understand, where can there be detailed information about the state of the body and the record of the time of death?

"Hospital. James frowned and uttered two words.

As with the work carried out by the civil servant Wells, the entire cemetery was in front of him, and he had to spend a lot of time investigating, just to find out the few people who met the criteria in the decades of accumulation in the cemetery, report it to the upper echelons, and then the city government would compensate him.

These few people are like the walking corpses that have been carefully selected in Zach's mouth.

"That's the channel for the stolen goods. Zach summed it up.
