Vol 10 Chapter 19: Two phones

I don't know how long it took. Zach responded to Louise's question about Cain's eating habits. According to the narration in "Cain of the God Punishment", Cain occasionally prayed before eating. The normal kind, thank the Holy Lord for giving him food and the like.
Louise ’s question is "Does this have any special significance? As a book for preaching to aliens, the protagonist Cain is the object of punishment by the Holy Lord. He does this kind of thing that will not make other aliens feel that the Holy Lord believes, uh, I do n’t know, hypocrisy? "
"In a way, yes, this is the purpose of the Lord." Zac actually nodded. "The Lord does not need other aliens to like him, or hate, or hate ... He does not care. But he gave Cain food is a fact. He created Cain, he created an immortal creature in a new world, and personally designed Cain to be immortalized by the creatures of this world. All creatures in this world are holy Lords Give Cain food, and this— "Look at Louise.
Louise understood, "The Lord only needs the aliens of this world to fear him."
"now it's right."
Louise continued reading, and the phone rang again. James hadn't slept, and as soon as the phone rang twice, he had knocked outside.
Zac ignored James and went to the office. Time is still a few minutes before four in the morning, and Zac is not quite sure who will call.
"Grand Funeral Home."
"Grand? That funeral home in Gen Torredo? Er, the sensitive informant, isn't it you, that Zacary Torredo?"
"It's me." Zac knew what the phone call was all about.
"Uh, it's perfect." The tone over the receiver was ironic.
Zac glanced at James and asked, "Are you?"
"Vega Police, Detective Luther." The other party replied.
Zac was not emotional. "Detective Luther, do you mind if I call Detective Lance."
"General Lance's son, huh, why not." The person over the receiver seemed to be very 'talkable'. And we should understand that this 'good talk' is based on the fact that law enforcers hate the privileged class, so it is ironic.
Zac gave the receiver to James, "Detective of the Vega Police Department, Luther." A brief introduction.
The detective over there is no nonsense, "Are Detective Lance right, let me just say it, the murder happened again today, the same target characteristic: the adoption of a human child's interracial. So far, our police received There have been six cases in the series, but if my experience is correct, the actual number of murders should be twice this-because the victims are interracial, most citizens do not care about the life and death of these lower-level citizens unless The corpse is polluting the environment. "Uh, forget it ... Now is not the time to discuss social issues.
James is not going to talk nonsense, "Do you have any clues?"
"Well, if we have a clue, we won't contact you Patton Police." The tone was a little irritable, "Huh, so who is the only witness to our serial murders? You? Or the Toledo vampire?"
"Ask him that under normal circumstances, the case where the alien is the victim, and the detection rate." Zac ignored the question in the receiver and gave James instructions.
James used to stare at Zac, but he still did it, because he also wanted to know, "Under normal circumstances, how do you solve this kind of interracial case?"
"Solve? Ha!" Detective Luther over the receiver smiled. "It depends on how you judge the standard of 'solve'."
"I mean solve the case." James said with a lip, and Zac was chatting--who told you to be different from what I said.
"It's that simple. Twenty percent." Detective Luther answered.
"Twenty? So low?" As a peer, James' standard for the detection rate is obviously unacceptable.
"This is already very high. Huh, that's how Vega City can maintain this case detection rate, other cities? Oh, the police simply don't have the resources and ability to investigate incidents related to aliens. The answer you may get is only single digits. "
"Ask him why Vega is keeping this way, 'high' ..." Zac bent his mouth, unable to control himself ~ "Case detection rate."
James glanced at Zac. "He just said, resources!"
"No." Zach shook his head. "Resources will not be used for lower-level citizens." That's what Luther said, right?
James frowned, looking at the receiver, "Why does the Vega Police Department work hard to break the case of aliens?" Work hard? James also spoke hard.
"If you put the earpiece closer, I can hear that Toredo's voice." Luther actually complained. "Anyway. It's pressure to answer that Toredo. In the west, humans commissioned aliens. Working as a secret is not a secret. In Vega City, this kind of thing happens more frequently. So, occasionally, there are some powerful human beings to save a little money, or, vampires refused the commission to hire such low-level citizens . And the pressure comes from these powerful human beings. "
Hearing this explanation, Zac raised an eyebrow, watching James move the receiver to himself, and smiled, "This is the vague standard you just asked the Lance police to solve the alien incident ~"
"Yes." Detective Luther also said nothing. "We don't solve interracial incidents, we only solve the source of stress."
Zac nodded and pressed James's shoulder at the same time, beckoning James to stop being excited, "Then the continuous murder, is there pressure?"
"Humph." After humming, there was a moment of silence over there. It should be Detective Luther wondering if he could 'share' this information. It didn't take long for him to decide, "Let's just think, A businessman lost a very loyal employee tonight. Because of the loss of the employee, the businessman ’s business may be threatened. Then, the businessman is asking us to give an answer from the police. Will the employee ’s loss be Will threaten his business. "
James frowned, probably not understanding.
Zac understood, so he replied, "Then you should tell this businessman directly that his business will not be threatened."
Detective Luther over there was silent for a while, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
"You said tonight, to be more precise, it was early in the morning, right, that is to say, the new murder that occurred before you contacted Patton Police. The pressure was caused by this new murder, right."
"Yes. I said that there was no other clue before we contacted Barton." The meaning in the words was that if it were not for the new murder, the police received pressure and the case would go into the remaining 80%.
"Then the only commonality between the victims confirmed by the Vega police is the adopted human child."
"Yep."
"Including the murder tonight, there have been six cases. If the victim is related to this businessman we think, shouldn't this relationship have been revealed long ago?"
"You are ..." Detective Luther should have been thinking for a while, "Yes."
"Oh, congratulations, Detective Luther, you have solved an alien case again." Zach held James, as he was about to yell at the receiver ...
"Uh ... I'm just tired and sleepy. I didn't expect this, huh, thanks for the reminder." Hanged. Actually, that's it.
Zac put down the phone and glanced at the time. It was past four o'clock-which shows that Rut Lesenbullah still did not know about the murder in his city. Zac doesn't know if it's happy or ...
James was very upset and glared at Zac, "Why did you hang up!"
"He hung up." Zack answered for granted, and at the same time motioned James to whisper, "Quiet, there are people sleeping."
James did not listen to Zac and continued to increase his volume. "All the things you said about aliens and humans! How can you ignore this kind of thing so easily ?!"
"I didn't ignore it, did I tell you?" Zac shook his head helplessly.
"Me? Is it useful to tell me?" Immediately, James reacted to the problem and stared at Zac with a stern look, his lips trembling.
Zac could feel the anger and powerlessness in James ’s body and waved his hand,
You heard that Luther ’s words, he did n’t have any desire to solve the case, to seek justice for those victims, he just felt that he came from Other people's pressure, he only needs one result. "Zac spread his hand.
Do you think the questions that Zach asked are only concerned about the social problems of Vega? Do not. Zac is judging that the police detective who has not rested like normal humans in the early morning, called Grand, is he really going to work!
And the answer is obviously not!
"And you, you like to give results to other people right?" James now probably just wants to vent.
Zac should go away and let James himself be quiet.
Zac did the same, just walked to the office door. As soon as he opened the door, Murphy and Benjamin stood at the door and glanced at Zac. It was Benjamin's opening, "You really don't want us to sleep, right, is it interesting to make some movement every two hours."
Perfect, actually blame Zac.
Zac is about to bypass the road and ignore these people.
"What happened." Murphy opened his mouth, glanced at James, and a few times at Zac who tried to bypass Benjamin but was deliberately blocked.
Zac gave up and walked around Benjamin's wide body, looking at Benjamin expressionlessly, "Is this part of your job."
"That's right, my client asked a question."
Well, if this is the role Benjamin will play.
After Zac returned to his desk, "Vega had a case of murder of aliens, and the Vega Police had no desire to solve the case, which made James uncomfortable." After summarizing the sentence, Zac leaned back in his chair and closed On the eyes, the skin begins to dry ...
Everyone knows that there are people who will pretend to sleep when they avoid conversations they do n’t want to participate in. It ’s very realistic to snore two snoring. But for vampires, the cost of pretending to sleep is slightly higher. But Zac chose this approach. This has nothing to do with boldness, that is ... willfulness.
The people in the office have all seen Zac 's sleep', so this scene should have no effect on them ... how could it not be affected.
The first one to move is Benjamin. He stopped in front of Murphy and then frowned and kicked Zac ’s leg. "You are sick!"
Then there was James, who also tried to stop Murphy—but of course, he could n’t be faster than Benjamin, so he just stared at Murphy without movement.
Murphy really didn't have a touch of movement. After Benjamin's cover, he looked at Zac's dry skin. "He's pretending." He turned and walked past James, sitting in the seat James gave up to stare at himself. , "When we were still in marriage, he often did this kind of thing to seduce me to start, but when I really got close to holding a stake, he opened his eyes."
As if to respond to Murphy's words, Zac really opened an eye, dry voice, "It was taken out."
Murphy began to look at the office and said, "But Alpha, your actions make me question your profession. You should protect me, not run away from me when he might be in danger."
Benjamin frowned and Zaki said, "I'll count on you after this account."
Murphy's eyes fell on James in casual inspection, "Detective."
James's subconscious gloomy face, because if it wasn't Murphy for Benjamin, he didn't know what his subconscious behavior was because of. Therefore, James's gloomy face was to himself.
"Detective, don't be fooled. Zachary is best at this kind of tricks, manipulating the position of others. Don't forget that before Benjamin and I arrived, you were angry with him."
Zac has completely recovered, not looking at Murphy or Benjamin, uh, not James, but looking at his hand and playing the game of counting fingers. Zac is not going to talk to anyone in this room anymore.
"I want to use your phone." Murphy said, "I have something to discuss with my people."
Zac only shrugged his shoulders and the phone was there. Even a gentleman can't do anything intimate now.
Murphy picked up the phone and started dialing, long distance, "Louis said you attended my funeral." This woman is really not sincere. If you want to start a sincere conversation with someone, you won't choose the dialing gap. Right. From dialing to picking up the phone, people can chat at this moment.
"If you have any difference, I also attended your funeral." Murphy dialed the last number.
Should Zac feel anything like this? comfort? Still angry? After all, Zac's funeral can only represent Toredo being annihilated!
Zac is a gentleman, standing up, leaving the office, giving Murphy a private space for his phone. Yes, this time Benjamin stopped Zac.
"The funeral should be inaccurate, it's a carnival. Fanzhuo's carnival to celebrate the disappearance of Toledo."
To be sure, it angered Zac.
Endless, "I'm sorry I didn't feel any joy, I'm Assamette." I glanced at Zac, "Like now, I should feel that success angers you, but unfortunately, I don't have ..." The object of the person changed instantly, "It's me, can I exchange someone to negotiate with Zacary Torrido, I don't want to stay here, I feel my hair breaks without my knowledge, I feel , Uncomfortable. "
Weird phone.
The answer in the earpiece is this, "Your words have no logic. Your hair doesn't feel, your feelings don't exist, we are Assamette, we don't" feel "."
Murphy was quiet, raising his hand and stroking the hair on the side of his face, "Okay, I get it, I stay."
It is also an extremely fast call. Murphy put down the phone and said to Benjamin, "After the call, let's go back to the warehouse."
Uh……
