9 Dirt and Gravel Roads
On Wednesday morning, as soon as Zach put down Madison's phone, Danny the Phantom appeared in front of Zack, "Kate is here!" and disappeared without a trace. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Zach frowned, it was a bad time, because before Madison's call, Zach had received an appointment with Falken. In order to avoid an embarrassing encounter between Miss Reporter and Falken, Zach left Grande and waited under the Grande sign on the dirt road.
The trembling grandmother's car swerved at the interface between the dirt road and Route 27 and slowly moved in front of Zack.
Zack didn't need to do anything, the car automatically stopped in the middle of the road, Kate ravaged the key inserted in the keyhole with an irritated face, and after struggling several times with the noise of the engine, it was completely motionless. Kate pushed the door with an ugly face and came out.
"How did you know I was coming?!" meaningless venting, and it wasn't Zach who broke down her car.
"Madison called me. Zach raised his hand to stop Kate, who continued to rush in the direction of Grande, and pointed to the sign of closure, "Tell me something here." β
Kate glanced at the closure sign and began to look past Zach in the direction of Grande. But she looked too high at her human field of vision, and she couldn't see anything but the trees, "Hmph, is there something you don't want me to know!"
"You just take it as you are. "Is it necessary to explain to Kate? No, so Zach waved his hand indifferently, "Say something as soon as possible, or I'll disappear like the day before yesterday (Monday's funeral), and you won't be able to interview anything." β
"Heh, disappear. Isn't that what you're good at! Leave all the work to somebody else......"
"What can I say, I'm a very good boss. "It's good to end this senseless taunt as soon as possible, Zach is not in the mood to ink with Kate here.
Kate pouted, "So I can think that you've learned from your subordinates, hmph, where did Madison know the reason for my coming?"
"Yes. "Zach is very 'conscious', before Kate opened her notebook, Zach pulled it directly from her hand, opened it, and kindly reminded Kate, who was about to go crazy, "Recording, don't let me remind you, Miss Reporter." β
Kate's face darkened and she pressed the record button.
Zach looked at the notes in Kate's notebook, unconcerned about Madison's interview transcript, and flipped over the part that belonged to him and began to read, "'When did you realize that the property of the cremation and funeral business was being stolen?'" and replied, "Like everyone else, a few days ago." β
"Be specific......" Kate tried to interject in Zach's interview with Zach himself. Who cares about her!
Rather, "Do you want me to write it down for you, or is the recording enough?"
"You ......"
Zach shrugged and ignored it, anyway, it's how to be annoying, how to come - seeing this first question, you should be able to find that Kate has already dabbled in issues that she shouldn't touch, so Zach is 'reminding' Kate, you hate me, please focus on hating me.
And then to continue, first the question, "'The first person to report the theft of property to the police was Grande's rival Allen Funeral Home, and Ford and Grande Mill followed to report the same question, do you have any thoughts on that?'" and then in reply, Zach raised an eyebrow, "My opinion? Sorry, no opinion, but I should probably be harsher with Madison, if Alan hadn't called the police and the news reached me, he would probably have hidden the loss of my mill. Hehe, it seems that my boss is not up to the task. β
Kate's heart, like us, is a mirror, and she knows exactly what Zach is! But she is also like us, she can't have seizures, she can only watch Zach pretend quietly.
We need to know how Zach twisted the truth about the serial thefts in the funeral industry linked to the disappearance of illegal workers in Massa Port.
Kate? Heh, very insulting to her professionalism as a journalist -- no interview with Zach went smoothly! Either he was speechless when he was asked by Zack, or the guy simply disappeared! Oh, once, the Southern District police came to search, but, as a result, after a perfect smear article was published, there were still people who went to Grande's funeral! So, now the best situation Kate could get - stared at Zach with a distorted look on his face and continued to flip through the notes and move on to the next question.
"'Cremation industry continues to have problems, who do you think is the beneficiary?'" Zach must praise the question, can it be reversed from the logic in Kate's mind when she came up with this problem - cremation is blocked, tell the facts, who is happy. Zach raised an eyebrow and smiled at Kate, who had a gloomy face, "Hehe, the beneficiary, I could have admitted that it was me, the Grande of the traditional funeral industry, but I'm sorry, Miss Reporter." "Pointing to the sign of closure of business, the benefit is affected by the closure of oneself, which is really super 'benefit'!
You should still remember Kate's habit, a question is a page, and Zach turns the page halfway, "But, I probably know the logic of your interview this time." I can guess what your next question is. "You want to ask me if I stole my rival Alan's stuff." After all, according to your idea, I'm a guy who can't get a revenge, and Allen and Grande already have a bad relationship, and he exposed my hubris in the courtroom in your previous report (in the previous report, it was written that Allen angrily scolded Zach for not even hiring a lawyer in court. I, 19). Did I guess right?"
Kate's face actually had a hint of pleasure, and the recorder was almost clubbed in front of Zack's mouth~ These words, but they were all said by Zach himself, and no one guided him~ Let Kate be happy, it's just for a while.
"And then you have another piece of proof. Zach chuckled indifferently, "Allen was the first to call the police, and the fact that the funeral was also stolen was announced, followed by Ford and Grande's mills." You must think that I, as the black hand in the back, just tried to cover up the facts and create the illusion that the entire funeral industry was stolen after Allen stabbed the matter out? After all, theft, for me, is already a common thing, hehe, Paisyoung's activity center? It's just that obviously, I can't just return the things this time and let Alan stop, so just make it bigger, right?"
"Hehe, yes, yes, please continue~" Kate squinted, looking extremely encouraging.
Zach patted Kate's head, the height difference was due to the difference, and it didn't mean anything else, "Hehe, I appreciate your imagination." "It's Zach's 'imagination' that should be credited," but sorry, you're wrong. Holding Kate's hand, he took the recorder closer, and said flatlyβ
"In the first place, only Allen called the police for a simple reason - the mills of Ford and Grande had direct cooperation with the police, the North Police Department and the South District Police Department, and their theft only showed that the police did not do their job as the police should do, and the funeral homes under the direct protection of the police department were silently invaded, burgled, or continued. Zach glanced at Kate's face, which darkened again, and continued, "So, of course, Allen, who has nothing to do with the police, will be the first funeral home to publicly call the police, and only Allen will do this." β
Zach felt Kate's force trying to pull the recorder back, and it was clear that these remarks related to the Patton police involvement scandal should not have been recorded. She doesn't need to offend more people she shouldn't mess with now.
Zach let go, shrugged and continued, "So, back to your first question, what am I aware of these things, my answer, like everyone else. β
Kate had already begun to wash out her recordings, staring at Zach with a twisted face, "You ......" in a gloomy voice, "You're a disgusting person!"
"I've been called worse. Zach thought of the parasite James was talking about, waved his hand, and smiled again, "So, is there anything else you want to ask besides this conspiracy theory against me?"
"Be proud!" Kate must have been annoyed, "I must admit that there is a city government and a police, 'protection'! You are still safe! but wait! I will let you ...... sooner or later."
Her feeble threat was not finished, and a shrill horn behind her interrupted her.
It's not Falken, it's a car with the Sedil Security Company logo on it. Kate's car was stuck in the middle of the dirt path, wasn't it, and the people behind were honking their horns to move out of the way.
Kate frustrated back to the car and continued to try to start her grandmother's car, when Zach walked around the back of the car and looked at the people coming down, "Saidil?" The owner of the security company, Zach vaguely remembers meeting him when he was at Bishop Manor.
"Grande. The swathereal middle-aged man also glanced at Zack, and after saying hello, his gaze swept over his grandmother's car and frowned.
Zach didn't directly ask the security company boss what he was doing here, but walked to Kate's window, helplessly took out his pocket, and pulled out a few coins, "I don't think this is the last time we will meet, so, I'll find a towing company to come over, and you can pay me back next time." And now, you should leave. β
Kate was still a little dignified, and pushed away the change handed over by Zach, "I brought my wallet today!" angrily got out of the car again, his eyes fell on the sign of Saidil and Saidil security, the corner of his eyes twitched, and he strode back, ignoring it.
Zach gestured to Saidil and sat down in Grand's direction with an inviting gesture. Zach could only assume that the boss was here to check on his employees, "Shepard's they're installing alarms, and the structure of our new living quarters is a bit complicated, but it should be done today." "Then it's good to help a little, after all, free upgrades, Grande is earned.
Saidir didn't look at Zack, walked beside Zach and just nodded, and didn't speak.
Zach didn't know what the other party was thinking, and walked quietly, which could have been used as a topic for the two of them to walk this distance, but out of gray professional ethics, Zach was still ready to remain silent. If this Saidir didn't have a special purpose, then when it came to Grande, he shouldn't need Zack to care.
Still, the timing is not good. Falken could come to Grande at any time. And because of the magical experience of Monday the day before yesterday, Zach can confirm that Falken has come to make the commission.
"How much. Saidir suddenly asked inexplicably, and added, "Unless it's a matter of life and death, Nuo and I have always been brothers, so what is your price, if you are hired." β
Directly, Zach glanced sideways at Saidir slightly, and sure enough, there was something wrong with letting Shepard pass the word yesterday.
"It depends on what you need me to do. Zach gave an extremely vague answer, no way, Zach is so unprofessional, there is still a listed office faΓ§ade, and Zach is a funeral home.
"Let something go away. β
Still vague, "It depends on what these things you need to disappear are, and where you put them." β
"Documents, mostly, maybe some records, little things, and so on. Saidir glanced at Zack, "And these things are more than one place, and they are scattered in the hands of some of Barton's most powerful people." β
Zach wasn't completely clueless, and yesterday's Shepard had already shown that Saidil Security had lost the competition with Aix Security, hadn't it? Saidil has completely begun to shrink their market reach, letting go of businesses that are really worth keeping, like those in the West End.
Looking at the facts, Grande has helped Saidil several times actively or accidentally, so that Aix's process of controlling Barton's security has been blocked several times. Even so, now Saidir is still passively retreating and losing its competitiveness. There must be a reason, isn't it?
"It sounds like a very troublesome and dangerous thing to do. Zach glanced at Saidil.
Saidir also looked at Zach, "You don't even say the base price, how do I know how much to raise." β
Belch...... It's really a direct and efficient way to have a conversation.
But Zach liked it unexpectedly, and just showed a smile, "Then start with the deposit, cash, three ......" Zach stopped temporarily, he had already entered the range of Grande, and the entrance to the main entrance and backyard was in front of him, but Zach directly patted Saidir, who was still waiting for the offer, "You should go to the west side first and inspect the progress of the work, we can talk later." β
Saidir frowned, looking at a black spot on the dirt road that was approaching to the west, and slowly, he could make out that it was a limousine.
"It's Falken. Zach glanced at Saidir, "If you care." "It's a temptation, and if Saidir doesn't even know about the relationship between Ax and Falken, then Zach has nothing to say.
Fortunately, Saidir's eyebrows were twisted together, staring at Zach without speaking.
"You can think again. Zach laughed, "We're partners. "Security-wise," is a friend of a friend. "No," I don't mind if you decide to settle accounts with me in the end. This, I can assure. β
The corners of Saidil's mouth moved, pulling the corners of his mouth into the backyard, Shepard had already come over to greet him as soon as possible, and he didn't need to pay attention to that side for the time being.
Zach stood directly in front of Grande's door, smiling and waiting for Falken to arrive. (To be continued.) )
