"Oh. But I can't guarantee it. Alice replied to Zach as she ate her dinner, "Sissi doesn't like Republicans...... Alice shook her head and corrected herself, "It's not that she doesn't like Republicans, she doesn't like ...... The fact that republicans became believers in the Holy Lord. ”

Zach was shaking his glass, "Did she tell you why?"

This topic is actually a request for the fallen angel tea during the day, and he needs the container that has been instructed by Sissi to return to him.

She ...... Said. Alice pursed her lips and looked at Maya.

Maya could only pout at Zack, and it looked like she would answer Zack, "She didn't say anything in detail. But she gave an example that we could understand...... "Rolling her eyes and fiddling with her plate, "We all know that the wizarding families in the middle are already acting to preserve the souls of the wizards of the Indoans. For example, Pochi Quinn's sanatorium is now full of Indoan wizard spirits. Maya rolled her eyes, "That's an example. ”

Zach stopped the glass in his hand and shook it for a second, then in reverse, "I don't understand." Not only did Zach not understand, he didn't understand what the two things were related.

Maya rolled her eyes at Zack, "Why do wizard families protect those wizard souls?"

Zach could only think back to what Mrs. Fury had said. I remember, apple trees, apples, the soul is the nourishment, those. Without thinking about it all, Zach came to a conclusion, "To prevent non-Indians from becoming wizards." In other words, the wizarding family wants to remain in the Indian race as a wizard, and they don't want to share their wizarding abilities with other races. ”

Maya gave a rightful roll of the eyes, "That's it." ”

Zack's shaking glass stopped again, and it took a long time to react before he realized, "Oh!" and frowned, "Sissi doesn't want to share the faith of the Holy Lord, the power of demons or angels with the republican race. ”

"Hmph. "Maya wouldn't praise Zach for being smart.

Zach started shaking the glass in his hand again, still frowning, and asked uncertainly, "Is this racism?"

"Discrimination?" Maya's eyes reappeared, "Forget it." Four centuries ago, you didn't discriminate at all, and you tried your best to export your faith to this continent that didn't belong to you...... "Well, Maya is talking about the history of the Federation, wrong, the history of the Union before the founding of the country, the history of the Indoans, "You know best, don't you, it's war!"

Zach looked at Maya, "Objectively speaking, the political significance of the colonial war is greater than the religious significance. You are saying this only deliberately against the faith of the Holy Lord. ”

"Target, target. Maya shrugged, "Anyway, the soul that needs to be protected now is the soul of the Indian wizard, not yours, and one day, when the precious souls of your holy lord's faith, those demons that can become angels and demons, are snatched away by other beliefs, you will not say such things." ”

Zach wasn't ready to argue with Maya about this kind of question, and raised his cup, "Whatever, it's okay with me anyway." "It's self-deprecation, as long as it's soul-related, it has nothing to do with vampires. Zach glanced at Alice, "You told Sissi whether she wants it or not, the republic already has followers of the Holy Lord's faith, and her displeasure doesn't mean anything to the facts." ”

Alice nodded, "I'll try my best." ”

Zach nodded and left the restaurant with his glass in hand. Go to the office, James is in the office. The detective seems to have gotten used to using Zach's office space as his dining room.

At the door of the office, Zach deliberately filled his wine glass with liquid again, walked behind James, and glanced at the papers spread out next to the dinner plate, "Vega's?"

James still had food in his mouth and muttered, "Hmm." ”

"Are there any new witnesses? Zach didn't bother to read the text, and walked around to sit down across from the desk.

"Nope. James glanced at Zack, closed the papers, and looked like he was going to concentrate on eating.

Naivety –

"If you're imitating Anthony's attitude toward me on official duty, you shouldn't have brought the job back to Grandrie. ”

We've been saying 'Anthony is James' template for a long time, and we understand that it's a fact of identity and career planning. But now, it's time to move on to the next stage – Anthony, James's template, all-round.

James pursed his lips and spoke, "The Vega Police Department found several witnesses, but no one wanted to be witnesses. ”

"What do you mean?" Is there still such an operation, is the charge of obstruction of law enforcement just a joke in Vega City?

"The police can't force anyone to testify. James pouted, "If those witnesses only describe their own witnesses in a perfunctory manner, it will only lead the police into misinformation." That's adding to the chaos. The corners of his mouth twitched, "It's like Wes caught someone in according to Alice and Maya's description, and now he may be complained by the other party." ”

Know what James was talking about, Alice went to the police station yesterday.

"I'm sorry. Zach apologized for Alice, and then thought about it for a moment, "So the difficulty for the Vega Police Department now is that even if there are witnesses, they can't confirm whether the witnesses' testimony is true." ”

James nodded, frowning, "In the final analysis, the victims are of an alien race, and ordinary human citizens are not willing to offend the police for them, let alone the criminals who are captured." ”

Zach also frowned, "The human citizens who feel that they have nothing to do with themselves are invisibly protecting and conniving at the murderers of foreign races. This does not bode well. ”

When James heard Zach say this, he didn't react for a while, looked at Zack, tentatively, "What do you mean?"

That's what it means literally. Zach shrugged his shoulders and took a sip of his glass, feeling the need to explain, the words were clear enough. Immediately, Zach tilted his head, "Maybe it's time to suggest that Vega Police Department change its perspective." ”

James obviously didn't like Zack's answer, but as long as he reacted, he also understood what Zack meant, this topic can't be in-depth, it's too dangerous. Only with Zach, "What an angle." ”

"You should understand that the witnesses that the Vega Police Department has been looking for are all humans. Zach sorted himself out, "Except for me, who became a witness over the phone. ”

James chewed the food in his mouth and thought for a moment, "Yes." If there were alien witnesses, the murderers would have been killed along the way. "It's not surprising, it's pretty simple logic – criminals can't afford to leave alive witnesses who pose a threat to themselves.

"And then the human beings, that is, the reason why the Vega police have no witnesses. Zach raised his glass to James, "You just analyzed the reason. ”

James opened his mouth and shoved a large mouthful of food into his mouth.

"So don't count on unidentified witnesses, and focus on what the Vega police will be able to identify. Zach took another sip of his glass, "Victim." ”

"Alien race that has died. James didn't finish what was in his mouth, and looked at Zach with an ugly face, "Or the only mayor's secretary who is still alive, by the way, just told me on the phone this morning that he won't care about anything but get the police to reopen the case." James paused, swallowed his food, and mockingly, "Let's not say whether the mayor wants the police to continue to delay his secretary's work." "We have heard how Rutte Lesenbra defines the profession of 'secretary' and should be able to understand James's words," just say that the information she can provide, well, if it had been useful, the case would not have dragged on for so long. ”

"I'm not talking about victims who have already been victimized. Zach waited for James to finish before waving his hand to retort, "It's those aliens who haven't been victimized and meet the targets of murder." In this case, it was an alien family that adopted a human child. ”

"No way. James shook his head directly, "Protecting potential victims is a common tactic in this kind of case. "Skimming Zack, it means you don't need to teach," after several cases in a row, the victim's characteristics became clearer, and the Vega Police Department sorted out the interracial families that met this standard. James shook his head, "Nearly 100 of the resident alien families in Vega City have human children. The number is too large to be covered by the police. ”

Zach also shook his head, "It's only nearly a hundred, if the social security organs are a little more diligent, within a week, those children can be separated from the alien family, so that the number will become, one." ”

James blinked, not following.

Zach shook his glass, "If this is anything 'normal' serial murder." What a pervert the criminal is, what is the obsession, well, blonde female. "Don't pay attention to Zach's random example," this method is useless, after all, even the most powerful institution in this country cannot make all blonde women with free will bald. ”

James was still blinking.

Nazak continued, "But this case is very simple. As long as a social worker determines that 'the child cannot obtain the necessary conditions for growth in the current family', the number of alien families that adopt human children will be rapidly reduced in a short period of time. This is not even the exercise of power or the manifestation of free will, but the normal functioning of the basic functions of society. ”

James didn't blink, but his face didn't get better, and it was even worse, "It's a test of the murderer's loyalty to the standard of their murder!"

That's right. The reason, tsk, killing the alien race that adopted a human child, this standard itself is very, strange. You have to add a prefix in front of the alien race, depending on how simple the goal of the hunter is, it can be killed if it is an alien.

"That's right. Zach nodded, "It's a test of 'loyalty' to the target, aren't the police willing to figure out the criminal's way of thinking, the motive of aiming at a specific target?"

"Tsk. James snorted, he didn't want to answer the question for the Vega police, but he "If this test is successful, the Vega police will succeed in seducing the criminals into a specific interracial family." If it doesn't succeed!" This is more important, "Your method is just to make nearly 100 children lose their families again out of thin air! Moreover, the alien race that may be attacked will still be attacked and killed!"

Zach put down his glass and looked at James seriously, "Do you really think it's a good thing to have a child raised by a different race?"

James was stunned for a moment, how did he know?!

Zach can. "From my own experience, I don't think that's a good thing. ”

James...... "You?!Have you ever raised a human child?!"

"Not exactly counted. But, infinitely closer. "Think back to what Zach told Louise about him being relied on by a boy in the Northland, do you think that story is a good story?" It cannot be a good thing for humans to become emotionally dependent on other races. And the family is the highest level of cultivation of this dependence, and if we continue to deepen this level, human beings in the state of children are the 'things' that are most likely to become dependent. ”

To make it easier for James to understand, Zach added, "Look at you, we've only known each other for a year, and you're still learning to try to break free from my influence by relying on your adult self-awareness." "Deliberately—" But if you grew up calling me Daddy, do you think you'll be able to shake off my influence?

James's face crumpled into a rag, "Okay, okay, I see! You don't have to say such a disgusting analogy!"

"I'm just saying the most efficient analogy. Zach smiled, and the atmosphere eased slightly, "As for the result of the test, even if there are no more human children of the alien race, they will still be murdered, then you don't need to continue to pay attention to this case." ”

"What?!" James almost slapped the table.

"Because of the lack of human children, James, you're working purely for the alien, you know. Or for the alien race far west and has little to do with your life. Zach was serious again, "It's not your character. ”

James froze. His character, Ruth Lesenbra has already made it clear on the phone, hasn't he? James Lance, in terms of interracial relations, must not be 'Jack Sue'.

There was absolute silence in the office for half a minute, and when there was a sound again, it was accompanied by the chewing sound of James resuming his meal and muffled words, "Joe's case solved, if you cared, a burglary to get worse......"

"I know, Joe has been to Grande, and you said it was your advice to him to come to a less crowded place in the Southside. Zach said, "Yes, James, I'm proud of you......"

"Stop!" James didn't need Zack's pride, in every sense, it was better to shut up Zack as soon as possible, "Don't you still want to go to Walter's! I don't need you to eat with me here!" actually drove Zack away in Zack's office. Genuinely worthy of being proud.

"I'm not going today, Louise is going alone. ”

James looked at Zach, but his eyes were not very ...... Integrity. But nothing was asked.

Zach replied anyway, "She said 'see you tomorrow.'" Zach began by repeating the last words Murphy had said to him yesterday in that world, "I decided to punish her." ”

James looked at Zach again, unabashedly disdainful. Stand up with your plate in hand and go to the dining room to continue your dinner.
