Before Zach could start receiving Grande visitors, Zach received two more phone calls. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The first is Eric, who ...... It's a little hard to describe, but let's experience it for yourself.

"I think I still want to be a priest, I ...... Well, I wonder why my father was willing to give his life to this kind of 'faith'. And the priest is the closest man can get to this faith, right?"

Zach - "If you think it's good, it's fine." ”

"Well, then, I guess I'm supposed to go back to church, it's Sunday, and I can go to church for the prison people on Constantine's schedule. I, well, I don't think I'm in a good position to give advice to other people, but, well, I mean, those are human criminals, right, no matter what life advice I give, it can't be more wrong, right?"

Zach - "As I said, if you think it's good, it's fine. ”

"Oh, okay. Thank you. You were right to take a break, at least I know now that I want to do it. ”

Zach didn't feel qualified to say no thanks, and hung up the phone silently.

The second call, even more difficult to describe-

"Is the Grande Funeral Home? well, Grande in Barton, Massa. ”

"Yes. ”

"Who am I talking to?"

"Zachary Grande. Are you?"

"You're Zach, Zach, Zack?"

"Yes, you are ......"

"I'm you......" The receiver suddenly changed, "Who's answering the phone?"

Zach frowned, "Massa, Barton, Grand Funeral Home, Zachary Grande. "At all times, take it easy. Why do you need to take it easy? Because Zach couldn't hear any background sound on the other side of the earpiece, and the person who spoke before seemed to have evaporated, without any sound.

"Zach, Zach. You sound ...... Just as I expected. ”

Zach repeated his question, "Are you?"

"Hehe, we'll have the opportunity to officially introduce each other, not now. There was silence on the side of the earpiece for a while, completely quiet, the kind that didn't breathe, "Hehehe, the person who disturbed you has been punished, goodbye." "Hung up.

Zach made a note of the time of the inexplicable phone call, and it was also convenient for a friend who worked in telecommunications (Fitz), and Zach was ready to ask Fitz to help find out where the call was coming from.

Then, it's time to entertain. The three guests, Sbella's husband Corden, Tham's No. 2, and the Southern District Police Chief Cologne himself, arrived at the same time.

Zach's priorities were scientific, summoning the first guest, "Sorry, Tam didn't tell me your name. ”

"It's okay, I like the name No. 2, it's realistic. "Quite sincerely.

"Ink is in the recreation room, and Tamu is there, doing what you're going to do. ”

"Thank you. ”

Dispose of one.

"Kirden, I think this is your first time coming to Grande alone. ”

"The timing couldn't have been worse. "I remember this number two, who was around Sbella for a while asking about the Soul Aliens, tsk, do I need to worry about why she came to Grande?"

"Honestly, I don't know. Zach raised an eyebrow, the recreation room had already started a conversation, and the first thing Number Two said when he saw Mo was- 'Have you ever died?'

"Tsk. And this Cologne. Corden stared at the floor, Cologne still waiting in the reception room, "I think I came with him because it should be the same thing." ”

"Suicide in the santium?" Zach wasn't really weird, the question was more targeted, "I thought Sbella was coming, not you." ”

"She's busy. Corden waved his hand, "And she's kind of tired of Ryan's every time, uh, rebellious." So replace me. ”

Zach nodded approvingly, "Speaking of which, you probably haven't seen Ryan in a long time. Glancing sideways to the door, "You know where he is." ”

"We'll talk when you're done talking to Cologne. This is a confirmatory statement.

"Of course. ”

Hang one. The last one came up.

"I think I remember the woman (number two). This is Cologne's opening, frowning, very sincere advice to Zack, "Her hands and feet are a little 'unclean', if I were you, I would take care of my valuables in the house." ”

So it's not just Tamu who has a legendary reputation, his henchmen also have their own reputation, which is really good.

"Hehe, thanks for the reminder. Friend of friends, I think I can trust her. ”

Who would have thought that the combination of these three guests who came to Grande together, and the other two women who both 'cared', were the most worry-free one for Zack.

"I shouldn't waste my time. "Cologne is getting down to business," I think you already know why I'm here. Cologne didn't look at Zack, his gaze fell diagonally on the pen holder in front of Zack, there shouldn't be any extra meaning, he just didn't want to look at Zach and say the following, "First of all, I should thank you, for your proposal, to Wes." ”

Zach didn't respond. The order of the messages should be Jason from the previous big Q, then Jason from home to Wes, and finally Wes to Cologne.

"But, we don't need your help in this case. Now he looked at Zach, "It's suicide, it doesn't matter what is written in the newspaper, the police and the nursing home director Green, we all agree with this result." What the media wants to express, that's the media's business, and the case is closed. ”

Since Cologne mentioned the media coverage, let's take a look at this report. Although it is news in the Southern District, it is rare to take up some space in the headline of the report, and it is indeed clearly written that "Dean Green postpones responsibility", right? And we should know why by now, because of Mrs. Patton.

"I don't understand. In order to show his doubts, Zach took out the newspaper, flipped to the page of the report, pointed to a certain paragraph, and did not read it, but it was enough for us to understand the tone of the report-"Director Cologne, you are saying that the report mentioned that Dean Green's refusal to submit the medical records of the suicide victim before his death, and the concealment of the psychological evaluation of the suicide person, this kind of thing that can be the key evidence in the verdict, yes. "Heightened question," the police and Dean Greene's, consensus?"

Need a more obvious irony?

The police will handle the case like this in the future -- 'Hey, why don't you want to hand over the key evidence that can solve the case?' 'Do you want to hide something?' 'Yes, let's come to a consensus, you police don't investigate, just close this case as a suicide.' ''Okay.'' ’

Cologne's gaze returned to the pen holder, "Yes." There are so many people in the whole city of Barton, I think you should know best what these reporters are best at writing. ”

Well, Cologne can too, at this time Tizak's perception of journalists. It's quite appropriate, after all, isn't there a report from Grande in the same newspaper? Grande was undisobediently beaten by 'public opinion' again.

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Is the director trying to say that the reporter is deliberately exaggerating something?"

The gaze was on Zach's face again, "Of course." And, I think you know very well what this deliberate rendering is for. You know Zack, I like you, you're ......" Cologne frowned, as if searching for words, "Mysterious, resourceful, can I say versatile (Cologne knows that Zach has a wonderful medical background), and most importantly, you can make things." James...... I'll put it bluntly, he's really average, not as smart as Cousson, in all sorts of ways. If it weren't for his 'Lance' background, he would have been an ordinary police officer like Chapman under me at best. But James's greatest strength, not his background, is you. ”

Cologne shook his head, "In every case James touches, you are the most critical factor. And I, I don't need the inside intelligence (gray professional circle) of my informant, I can see that you, Zachary Grande's bias. Cologne stared at Zach, "How about we not go around in circles, you're 'serving' the Westside." ”

Zach opened his mouth slightly and smiled helplessly, "Don't you go around in circles." All right. I could have refuted you, but when I offered to help Wes, I didn't have the purpose of 'serving' anyone. But unfortunately, you came a step late, and I have it now. Zach raised an eyebrow and looked at Cologne, observing, now is the time to test how much the director knows about the 'insider', "Can I name names?"

"Barton, yes. "It's easy. Cologne also looked at Zach and pouted, "Based on the number of years the sanatorium has existed in Barton, I can be more specific, Mrs. Barton." If you think I've been the head of the police department for so long, I don't even know about this kind of thing, isn't it a bit insulting? ”

"I have no intention of insulting you. Zach shook his head, "Since we're talking straight now, let's tell me what I know......" Zach put the newspaper away. Suffice it to know the tone of the report, and Zach has more direct sources for the details of the suicide -

"I know that the deceased, the 'suicide', and the time of discharge from the hospital was yesterday, not the imminent time in the newspaper, but already. Zach was pleased with Cologne's frowning expression, "He's already left the sanatorium, but was stopped halfway through......"

"How do you know that?"

"I just know, you said it yourself, I have the resources. "Tell me the truth, listen to Emilia, who relayed 'funny things,' and continued," the suicide victim who had left the sanatorium was sent back to the sanatorium and arrived at the sanatorium with the police who had received an anonymous report. When Superintendent Green insisted that the patient had been discharged, the patient, who was already a corpse, was lying in his room......"

"Wait a minute. Cologne had to interrupt Zach, "Who told you this? I don't know! I only know from the fact that Green denied the report, and the assistant police insisted on checking and then found the body! Barton told you this?!"

"It's not. That's just a question that can be answered honestly, Zach waved his hand, "If you still want to hear about the whole thing, the real process, don't interrupt me." You should be realised, and I'm telling you this now, just in return for what you just said, 'You like me.'" I have the object of 'service', and this object is not on your side. ”

Cologne stared at Zach with his mouth open for a long time, then closed his mouth.

"I can tell you unequivocally that apart from your police, there are other people investigating the cause of death of the deceased at the same time as the case arises. "It's impossible for Zach to tell who Cologne is, but we can start by knowing that it's the wizards and the Nophies. Specifically, don't worry, after Cologne, Kirden will come up.

"Then there is Dean Green's extreme uncooperation with the police investigation, I can tell you this, his non-cooperation, and his failure to hand over key evidence, is not because of the police, nor because of the pressure from the person you think I 'serve'......"

Cologne still spoke, frowning, "I shouldn't have said you 'serve' ......" After Zach kept repeating the word, Cologne finally realized that this word was the real insult.

"It's okay, I think it's appropriate. Zach shrugged, "Let me finish." Green's resistance was due to the fact that he did not have these medical records and the documents were not in his possession. Zach paused, "I can at least count on a little bit, well, you - the police who have agreed with Greene." At least do a full background check, about this 'angry waves'. You should know that he is a notorious murderer in the Middle Middle, who happens to belong to a son of a powerful Indian family, who came to Barton's nursing home just to ......" Zach did not say the word whitewashing in front of this director, "'to be a man again'. ”

Cologne frowned and nodded, "I know what Barton is doing in this sanatorium. ”

"Okay, then you can understand who those records should be. In the case of being a person and making a corpse again, the whole thing has failed to the point that it can no longer fail, and it is necessary to get back the record of the process, at least to be able to return to the middle of the body to recover his life, in the hands of the doctor. Before Cologne interrupted again, Zach explained, "This 'Angry Waves' treatment doctor is not Green's man, but the doctor hired by his Angry Waves family. "Remember, what Sbella told Zack, and the key to what Zack said about it—"My offer to Wes, where I can help, here, I can help the police recover these documents." In other words, I can bring back the evidence for you, and it is likely that it is the witness who witnessed the death, the doctor. ”

Cologne was silent for a long time and looked away, "Then I have rejected your offer now, and you now admit that you are going to 'serve' Patton." What will you do now?"

"Doing the same thing, recovering the documents and that doctor, the only difference is who I'm going to give these things to. The police who want to really solve the case. Or do a good deed, save everyone trouble, and probably benefit the most from Grimm, and make these things disappear. Or, now, you're a step late, you can use these things to get the media to write more clearly accountable stories than just exaggerated......" Zach really liked the word, "I 'serve' Mrs. Patton." ”

It needs to be reminded that there is no need to take this seriously, this is just the answer that Zach can answer the question of the human director in front of him.

"Do what you're going to do, I don't care what the report says, if I say the case is closed, it's suicide, it's suicide. His gaze wandered around Zack's desk irritably, and finally said the reason why he insisted like this, "It's okay when I'm in the North End, for Anthony's sake, I still need to look at the faces of these West Side people, and in the South Side, I don't want to be that 'police chief of their city' anymore." ”

"That's the best, I don't have any guilt that I will live up to your liking. Zach nodded, but what Cologne was saying now was akin to enlightenment, and Zach wasn't prepared to take it seriously - rejecting the already obvious truth was not enlightenment, it was an escape from hiding behind the inaction of the Southern Police Department as an idle chief, "My only promise is that I can delay my time in recovering this document and witnesses, and you police can get Green to dispose of the body as soon as possible, or whatever can constitute evidence to overturn the case." ”

"I will. Director Cologne gave Zack one last look, stood up, nodded goodbye, and left. (It's changed, but the title can't be changed.) (To be continued.) )
