Alice, who had just returned to Grande, was pushed into the kitchen, and Lola was not very satisfied with Kepler's directness, and threw her an apron, "You need to help!"

Kepler didn't mind much, put on his apron, and circled around the desk, "What am I going to do? Alice, just don't let me cut the onions!"

Zach smiled as he watched the three girls get busy, exiting the kitchen and walking towards the office, where Grande had a guest and Benjamin was accompaniing. ≥，.23￠wx.

In the afternoon, Grande had a funeral, and it was Louise's client who had run two days ago, and Zach didn't care at all, and he didn't even remember the client's name. When she returned, Louise quickly stuffed a bunch of documents into Zack's hand and reminded, "She wants to see you by name." ”

Zach didn't know what was going on, and Louise was also at a loss.

Entering the office, Benjamin was sitting at a desk with a woman in her fifties, but he didn't seem to know what he was doing.

Zach sat down at the desk and bowed slightly, "Mrs. White, is there anything else you need?" Zach flipped through the funeral process that Louise had given, "Is there anything you are not satisfied with about the funeral?"

"No, I'm satisfied. Mrs. White smiled slightly, but there was still sadness on her face, and it was written that the funeral was for his son, who was only twenty-five years old.

Zach made the proper etiquette and bowed his head slightly, "Please mourn Madame." ”

Mrs. White closed her eyes and seemed to be in silence.

Grande's two brothers exchanged glances with each other, both dazed. It is rare for a funeral home to remain after a funeral at any given time. Even if it is a grief, most people choose to stay in front of the tombstone rather than the funeral home office where money is exchanged.

The silence didn't last long. Mrs. White's gaze swept over the two Grande brothers, and she took a deep breath, "I'm a friend of Sbella Wind. ”

The vampire raised an eyebrow and looked at Benjamin, who had already folded his arms and looked like he was waiting for the next step.

Mrs. White smiled. Pulled the black dress, "We're in the same book club." "It can be seen that this is a woman with a good living environment, from a middle-class family. She is explaining why she became friends with a 'low-yielding' woman from an Indian family, "Relying on books, we shared many of our own stories. ”

Zach nodded, so the other party was an idle housewife with a lot of free time. Reading clubs, this kind of time-consuming activity is not something that most people can do.

As for why Sbella had time to attend. Well, Tempest is just living in Paising, and Zach doesn't want to admit it, but the Tempests are able to send their son to school in Reipt and go on a 'trip', and Tempest is much richer than he seems!

"I think Madame must have missed her friend. Zach had a reassuring smile on his face, "Especially in moments like these." ”

"Yes. Mrs. White nodded, "But I'm not here to talk about her. I'm here for you. Grande. Mrs. White had a chuckle on her face, "As we share stories." Pronouns are used. She looked at the faces of the two brothers, her voice was calm, and she hoped that the two would not feel threatened.

"For example, I would use 'tall red-haired' to refer to my first love, and she would use 'boy with a dagger' to refer to her first son. ”

Zach pursed his lips, his face tinged with curiosity, Grande. How will it be referred to?

"The shadow standing in the sun is you, Zachary Grande. Mrs. White glanced at Zach and then at Benjamin, "You're the 'warrior out of history,' Benjamin Grande." ”

Grande's two brothers looked at each other. It's a good fit.

Mrs. White relaxed a little when she saw that the two of them did not mean to deny or get angry, "Of course, she never told me your true identity, but the background of this representative character made me guess that you should be the owner of this funeral home." ”

Grande's identities are not difficult to guess, and as long as Sbella mentions the only cemetery, the identities of the two are obvious. Zach didn't need to deny it, and since Sbella trusted the woman in front of her, there was no need for Grande to be suspicious.

"Then don't you know if Madame needs our help with anything?" Zach smiled, "You're a friend of Sbella, and our relationship with Sbella has always been ......" Zach raised an eyebrow, "Peace and mutual assistance." We are happy to help friends of friends. ”

Mrs. White hesitated, "Before Sbella left, she told me that if something 'strange' happened to me, go find these two and they would help." She pulled out a thin notebook and handed it to Zach, "She said, it's your pay." ”

Zach flipped through his notes and glanced at it, it was the roster.

'Wandering Shadow' (Wandel), 'Dream', 'Bubble in the Water', 'The Doorman in the Flames' (Walter)......

Zach could see that some of the things that the pronouns represented, and more of them had no clue.

She said that the stories I knew would be my greatest asset to pay for what I was asking for. You will not refuse. Mrs. White had a sad look on her face, and she didn't know how sincere Zach was when he said 'peace and mutual aid,' or at least the story she had heard of the 'boy with the dagger' trying to kill two people.

What Sbella said to her was clearly telling her, 'If you ask them for help, you have to tell these stories that are only shared among friends.' This is an act of betraying a friend in exchange for a profit.

Zach thought for a moment, closed the roster, and handed it back to Mrs. White, "I said, you are a friend of a friend, and we don't need to be paid for our help. ”

In front of him is an encyclopedia of Sbella's network of relationships. There are two ways to get Zach, one is to be friends, and the other is to make a cold and hard deal. Zach wisely chose the former, Sbella was likely to return, and the vampire didn't think she would be happy that she had made a deal with Mrs. White.

I'm afraid that Mrs. White has been struggling these days, and the two times she asked Louise to go to work may have been to see the two brothers, but she never saw them. Today's funeral was left here alone, obviously with a decision.

There was no need for Zach to put the other person in a struggle and decided to treat people with sincerity. There is no need to make James's mistakes.

Mrs. White looked at Zach, hesitated for a moment, and withdrew the roster.

"Sue us. Zach glanced at Benjamin, leaned forward, leaned back against his desk, and said to Mrs. White with an encouraging expression, "What 'strange' happened?"

Mrs. White's gaze shifted back and forth between the two, and she seemed to be struggling. Without urging, Zach served himself dinner, observing Mrs. White's expression.

Mrs. White's body trembled irrepressibly, obviously knowing the true identities of the two. Again, knowing each other's race and seeing each other eat are two different feelings. Aliens who are humanoid in form always have the advantage of this first impression.

Zach tilted his head slightly and explained, "Sheep." ”

Mrs. White nodded, relaxed a little, and after taking a deep breath, made a decision, "It's my son." I don't think his death was an accident. ”

Zach put down his glass and nodded encouragingly, "Please be more detailed." ”

The story of struggling to 'betray' a friend because of the death of his son is understandable. Zach got serious.

Mrs. White's narrative is not complicated.

Pete White is the name of her son, who is buried today. Pete's life was smooth, and after graduation, he entered his father's small business, and he could foresee that he would be the successor of the family in the future, and his life was boring and stressful.

Pete's worksheet xiàn is normal, not too brilliant enough to make his father proud, nor so mediocre that he will be reprimanded by his father, and looks decent. The personality is also very ordinary.,Usually don't talk much.,Work hard.,Occasionally after work, I'll get together with a few friends.。

About two weeks ago, Pete's personality changed, and he began to show off. Laughing loudly in the office, and making jokes about his father with his colleagues. This was not a bad thing, and some of his speeches at the conference began to shine, and the projects and ideas he proposed began to amaze his father.

And obviously, his nightlife is also enriched, often coming home after midnight, but he doesn't look tired, and he keeps his energy to work the next day.

Mrs. White didn't think there was anything wrong with this, she just thought that her son had a girlfriend, but it was not yet to the point where she could meet her parents, and when she occasionally asked, Pitt would only prevaricate in a joking tone.

No matter how you look at it, it's a process of a somewhat introverted guy becoming cheerful.

But the unexpected happened.

Pete, who had become accustomed to returning late, did not return home and did not show up in the office the next day, disappearing.

By the time it was found, it was already a corpse.

The police investigation was quickly concluded, and a violent robbery was clearly a case. All the valuables on Pete's body were taken away, and there were obvious signs of a fight on his body. Eyewitnesses also witnessed the whole process.

"But you don't trust that eyewitness. Zach asked.

"Yes. Mrs. White nodded, her face sad, "After hearing so many stories about Sbella, I know that there are some things that I can't even believe with my own eyes. She shook her head, trying to hold back the tears in her eyes, "I asked his friends, and none of them knew what Pete had done that day. Moreover, they told me that I had rarely gone out with them since Pete's personality had changed. I wonder what the hell Pete is doing!"

Zach pondered, "First there was a sudden change of personality that my friends didn't know why, and then there was an 'accident.'" It's really fast. The vampire took a sip of his dinner, looked at Mrs. White, and reassured, "We'll figure it out." (To be continued......)
