25 Why be hypocritical?
James rushed across the dining room like the wind, and seeing the resolute sideways face that flashed by him, he should have run upstairs. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
No one in the dining room alerted the running detective, and a moment later, James's voice rang out upstairs, "Zach, where are you, come out for me!!"
Then came the sound of going downstairs, going to the basement, "Zack!
Or Louise, the ex-human who always reminded Zach to relax with James, "I'm going to call him." β
"No, I don't. Zach was still dangling the baby in his arms in the main seat, and although the baby had no intention of enjoying it at all, silence was what Zach needed, "I would like to see how long it will take him to realize that it's dinner time, and he, not invited." β
It's a very simple matter of upbringing. When you suddenly run to a friend's house at dinner time, will you be like James?
The side face crossed the door of the restaurant again, and James really didn't have the slightest consciousness to even glance in the direction of the restaurant, and rushed to the back porch like the wind, probably running to Benjamin's warehouse.
However, Bane and Lisa's faces were a little embarrassed, and it was obvious that if it weren't for Zach holding their child, he would have gone to receive the obviously uneducated visitor by this time.
"Oh, hehe, don't bother with that guy. "And listen to how Zach introduced James to his staff, and you can understand why Zach is so indifferent to James's arrival, "Bane, you know that a reporter was deliberately looking for Grande's stubble. β
"Yes, I know. Bane replied as he looked at Lisa, who had been talking a lot at the table. It's not a sign of fear of his wife, but he simply explained some things to Lisa, naturally, he said good things about Grande, and he should want to reassure his family who met his boss for the first time, "It's called Kate, this reporter is very ...... Well, although I don't want to describe a young woman like that, she was so 'rude', she tried to interview us a few times to go into the cemetery, take pictures of the cemetery, was stopped by the security guards and argued, and a few times blocked us on our way home and insisted on asking us questions without asking our permission. Looking at Zach, "Of course, we didn't bother to pay attention to her. β
Zach raised an eyebrow, which was something he didn't know, but it didn't sound important, "Hehe, this person is that Kate's boyfriend." β
Is James Kate's boyfriend? We don't know. But, if Zach wants to introduce this, does anyone have an opinion? If you have an opinion, go talk to the otaku who kept killing yesterday, and tell them why they have fewer healers in their team.
"Oh. "Lisa," she said, too, looked like an uncultured fellow. Naturally, it was Ying and her husband Bane, and it was also Ying and Grande's master Zack.
"Yes. Zach smiled and nodded, "But don't show it in front of him, after all, he's a police detective, and he's a pretty famous police detective, Detective Lance, have you heard of it?"
"Ran, Lance......" The two guests took a deep breath and lost their voices.
Of course, they had heard of 'Reims', not to mention the reputation of the generals in the west, and Detective Reims himself had been in the newspapers several times. Remember, the report on the mayoral candidate, the 'Bo Club Remnants'? Detective Reims and his partner are heroes, uneducated heroes.
And now, the Lance detective had returned from Benjamin's warehouse in vain, no longer like the wind, and slowly turned around at the door of the restaurant, staring at Zach on the main seat with a gloomy face. More specifically, staring at the baby in Zach's arms.
Zach ignored and continued to shake the baby in his arms. In order to deliberately stimulate James's senses even more, Zach also took a sip of 'wine'.
"Office!" James began.
"Don't you see, we're having dinner with our guests. Zach replied as a matter of course.
"Office!!" James turned, and disappeared in the doorway again. So it's a commanding notification.
Zach looked apologetically at Bane and Lisa, "Mind?"
Since you want to highlight someone's uneducatedness, it is natural to do a good job of comparison, just like this, you have to ask the guests how they feel when you leave the table in advance, how intimate the host ~
"No, no!" Bane was already motioning for Lisa to pick up the child, "Sir, you should go up!"
Zach nodded, handed out the baby, and picked up the plate that he hadn't touched at all, "Feel free, Louise, go get some refreshments." "Of course, I can't let Louise continue to suffer because I'm out of this uncomfortable dinner, even though Louise has already forced half of the food.
When he came to the office, James was already consciously sitting at the desk, and the papers on the table had been laid out, Zach casually put the dinner on the table and pushed it in the direction of James, "Have you eaten, don't worry, I haven't touched it." β
You'd think James still had a bit of self-esteem, but no, James pulled the plate and started eating.
Well, that's pretty much a summary of the relationship between James and Zach. There is no need to be hypocritical anymore.
Zach flipped through the documents that had been placed, it was a case file, and the key word was a cross-district murder case, everyone knew what the case was, so I wouldn't explain much. Zach looked at it for a moment, glancing at James, who was eating extremely quickly, "Are you here to ask me for help, or are you here to ......" Zuckerton deliberately left a place for reverie.
If it's helping, it's just the detective's special ability to ask for help from the vampire, which means that James doesn't yet know where Zach is in Heather's death. If it's the latter, it means that James has grown a little after all.
"Who killed her. James's words are not clear when his mouth is stuffed with food, "Give me the truth." β
Zach didn't answer directly, and the reverie shouldn't be shattered so quickly, did he. Instead, he read the text on the file, "'The victim's assistant claimed that the victim had asked her to clear all her afternoon schedule when she left, without explaining the reason for leaving. The victim's assistant also stressed that such things happen often and that the victim will ask her not to record such sudden departures on her schedule. The victim's assistant has become accustomed to this kind of thing......" This is a summary of the transcript, and judging by the handwriting, it looks much better than James's, and it should have been written by Cosen. Zach read this paragraph with a very clear meaning, "Why bother me to spend time watching this kind of thing, you just tell me the progress of the police, and I will tell you the truth." β
yes, why bother.
James snorted, lowered his head and stared at the rapidly disappearing food, not wanting to look at Zack, "You first!"
"Okay. Zach closed the file, "The specific murderer, I don't know, even the death of the binder does not have such a long time span......"
"You mean the guy who cut off Heather's brakes? Hmph, I don't care about that little character. James pinched the fork with a few green beans in it and shook it. He should have eaten his upbringing as food, and he also ate a little, well, the detective's...... I can't describe it, let's feel it for yourself.
"It's so boring. Zach shook his head without knowing what to say, "If you don't say it first, I won't have that sense of accomplishment that tells you 'this way, that's it.'" "Is it overkill, it's too unpretentious.
Look at James's response.
"Heh, you just like to tell people this, that, don't you? Hehe, a sense of accomplishment? Do you really feel this way? β
"Of course it's true. Eternal life, I must at least find some joy in life, otherwise it will be boring. β
James gloomily glanced up at Zach. Everyone realizes that Zach has just spoken of James as a pleasure in eternal life. Can you feel the 'glad acceptance' in James's heart now, "Do you want to tell me the truth!
Zach raised an eyebrow, "Ask Bumi?"
"Do you think I'm stupid?!Ever since I received this case yesterday, I've noticed that the shadows of things around me will disappear inexplicably, and every time I stop at the roadside manhole cover, it will turn in a blink of an eye! Saying that Bumi is a guess, but I'm sure Nophile is following me! Are you just here to tell me the truth, or are I going to-" He jerked his head and stared at the dark corner of the office, "Ask him!"
The corners of Zach's mouth curled, "It's really, hehe, it's impressive." James, you have a talent for being a hunter, and I think it was a very correct judgment that once Revenci approached you. Then he nodded James's hand gripping the fork, "Another corner." β
James tugged at the corners of his mouth and changed direction, and Boomie was pouting in the corner, "I thought you wouldn't notice." β
"It's a pity!" James replied gloomily.
Zach waved his hand at Bumi, "Don't keep an eye here, go to Cowson's." β
Bumi nodded, "Yes." In James's eyes, it must have been deliberate, and the left and right slowly put on shadows like dressing, and disappeared from view.
James pursed his lips and at least tried to track Bumi's movements, but it was impossible, he had already exposed his observations, and Bumi would not give James any more chance to notice.
"The murderer is Falken. "The truth is told.
James closed his eyes and shook his head slightly as he turned his head back, "Falken, you say." β
"Surprised?" Zach shrugged, "or was it already expected?"
James opened his eyes and looked at Zack, but he didn't want to answer Zack's question directly, so he pushed away the plate that was out of food anyway, reached out and opened the file in front of Zack, and pointed to a photo of the evidence, "This is what is in the safe of Heather." β
Zach wanted to continue saying that he was too lazy to read the documents, but after thinking about it, James was probably not in the mood to talk to him properly. So I glanced at the photo, "The company's safe." "Plain statement, because the safe in the photo doesn't have any documents or anything like that, just a bunch of crumpled receipts.
Zach removed the paper clip from the photo, and there were many such photos, except for the overview at the top, and the 'close-up' of each receipt was stacked at the back.
"Haven't heard of the receipt from the xx hotel. Zach raised an eyebrow and teased not too seriously, "I thought Falken would at least be willing to open a room at the Liszt Hotel." β
"It has nothing to do with giving. James sighed and continued to flip through the file, pointing to a confession.
Or in Curson's handwriting, "'The man always comes out first, gives a lot of tips at checkout, cash, and then tells us not to leave any records'." Zach continued to raise an eyebrow, "I didn't expect Falken to be quite cautious." "Continue," "'The woman will come out after the meeting, and then she will give a lot of tips, cash, let's make sure to issue a receipt, and we'll just, well, why not!'" Zach raised his eyebrows and continued to raise, "Is this some kind of commemorative significance, it seems that this Heather is really obsessed with Falken's ......"
"Not for you to see here!" James's gloom was replaced by a speechless impatience, and he nodded vigorously at the end of his confession.
"'Dude, I'm more than willing to cooperate with you cops, but at least before I reveal the identity of this generous client, you have to tell me what this is for, do I need to get a lawyer......" Zach frowned, "Curson is very idle, do you need to remember it so completely, I can almost make up the picture of your interrogation." β
He was answered by the twitching corners of James's mouth, and not at all surprising - "The West End police found some women's clothing that 'Kozil' had not yet officially sold at Heather's home, and Ozzy Kozier himself had already made a statement at the West End police station, saying that these goods were now only available to Liszt and some members of the West End family for trial. Well, in the autopsy report of the Canadian Haseer, there is a ...... that she is pregnant."
James's cheeks twitched, and he became gloomy again, not because the topic of pregnancy had caused anything, but because the object of his mood had changedβ"So!It's already obvious!Cousson is not idle, but is trying every means to delay, dragging the progress of our investigation in the North Side will always be behind in the West District! So that it won't be me and him to solve the case!Do you understand?!"
Understand, this fritter doesn't want to offend some people.
Zack, after being impressed by James's observation, he had to be impressed by Cowson's 'sense of smell', hehe, and shook his head, "So, you're not too surprised, after all, according to the progress of the West Side police, it's already locked in the West Side, right." β
"Tsk!" James's face changed to a gloomy one, everyone should have figured out the pattern, and the emotional object changed again, "Locked, the West District police have placed an investigation with no more clues!"
It's another thing that is not worth an accident, remember the driver of Pindi, Fisher said it was an accident, and the police dealt with it with an accident.
But of course, Zach didn't think it would be easy to stop, and continued to look at the confession, skipping the mouth pull that was recorded by Cowson in great detail, "'Dead *question mark exclamation mark* oh my god *exclamation mark* this is the woman's *exclamation mark*......" Please feel Cowson's 'idleness' from Zack's full retelling of Cowson's record, "What do you want to ask? That man? Uh, is that man a suspect? He killed this woman?! Oh no! I don't say anything anymore! No! Now think about it! I don't remember anything!'"
Zach raised his eyebrows, flipped through the record, and it was the bottom seal of the document, "It seems that your Northern Police Department is also in a ...... where the evidence is insufficient and the case is about to be placed."
"No! This man definitely knows something! If it weren't for Cowson's efforts to drag it out for eight hours and I would have had to let that guy go, I would definitely have asked who that man was! Now, hmph, it's easy, I just have to ask if he's Falcen!"
Zach continued to raise his eyebrows, "So, this poor front desk of the xx hotel is the key witness in this case?" Zach closed the file and looked at James seriously, "James, you haven't thought about it, why did Bumi follow you?"
"Because yesterday!" said James, who was not yet a little conscious, "you are not happy with me and Kate! You are not happy that I didn't ask you for help!" so I used this childish way......
Regardless of what James would say about his malicious conjecture about Zack's character, Zach shattered the original reverie, "because my commission was to make this case disappear." Seriously, James. West Ender, Grande. This case was already with me before it reached your North District Police Department. β
In James's gradient eyes, Zach clapped his hands, "Exactly." He smiled and looked at Louise, who came in with refreshments, "Give it to James, he seems to have been busy all day without eating, and he looks very hungry~ I'm going out for a while." β
Before James had any reaction, there was no more Zach in the office, all gone, of course, an address drawn from the case file. (To be continued.) )
