Vol 19 Chapter 9: Smith

Returning to Grande, Zach was surprised that Detective Coulson was waiting for him.
"Did the detective have something to do?" General Lance has left, and Zac thought that there would be a period of time when he would not be sought by the Southern Police-there is no need for outsiders to still think Grande has a relationship with the Southern Police.
"Something personal." Detective Coulson hesitated, but it was not necessary. Everyone was here, and hesitation was meaningless.
Zac went straight to the office.
"No." Detective Coulson waved his hand. "I just want to go to the cemetery to see someone ... well, come here and say something."
Zac nodded, beckoning Serris to inform the security of the cemetery so that Curson could pass.
Ceris gave the long noticed look.
Zac raised an eyebrow. The reason is that Coulson is still here, because he really has something to say. Zac guessed casually, "Detective Coulson, do you want to see Detective Levine's grave?"
The only reason Zac made such a guess was that Mrs. Levine referred to Detective Coulson when she commissioned. Although General Lance came to Barton to attend James ’wedding and overshadowed the funeral of the North District Police detective in priority, it is always ideal that if there is no wedding, without General Lance, Detective Coulson should be involved At Detective Levine's funeral. In the common sense, the friendship of colleagues in the police circles is a comparison. Well, the ‘higher’ friendship.
"Yes!" Detective Coulson affirmed, and looking at his sudden emotional rise, just waiting for Zach to start this head, "I have some questions about Levin's affairs, I want to ask you."
"The funeral was arranged by the North District Police." Zach said, meaning don't ask me.
"I didn't want to ask about the funeral." Coulson answered quickly. "I wanted to ask how he died!"
"I just did his funeral." Zac spread his hand.
This thing annoys Zac. This was not an event that Zac wanted to participate in, and then Bell took Zac in once (Bell was about to run when Zach went to see Bell that day), Darcy took Zac in once (let Zac go to stop Zhan (Muzcha case), James enrolled Zac once (squeezed out Zac ’s chance for a wedding at the funeral), and Mrs. Levine enrolled Zac once (commissioned). It turned out that Zac had been busy working for a long time, and no one benefited, which was not in line with Toledo's philosophy of doing things.
Now Coulson is here again. Uh.
"I checked the case file!" Coulson didn't know Zac's mental history. "The person in charge of the case record is James Lance's name, and the signature of the closed file is also him! I went to him but He actually sent me off with me on honeymoon vacation and not talking about business as a reason! "Coulson had obvious anger." I went to Levin's wife again. Today, I found out that her neighbor told me she actually moved! No one knows where! "
Zach glanced at Detective Coulson, a little sympathetic.
When this happened, Detective Coulson completely missed it ... and I can't say that I missed it, as I said earlier, it's just a priority. The dead will not be resurrected, but General Lance ’s stay in Button is limited. Coulson and Cologne made the right choice for their own future. Hey, now go back to the dead and find that no one is in charge and no one responds. He can only vent here at Zac.
"Do you think I might know something?" Zac wanted to test out where Coulson's expectations were-Zac couldn't tell the whole truth to Detective Coulson, who didn't know the existence of aliens, so this problem is in With some sympathy for Coulson, Zac made sure what he could tell Coulson.
"Handling the case of Lance (James), you should know something!"
This is too true.
It's a pity that Zac can't tell Coulson from James' position, because the reason why James gave up the case, we know that the truth of the case was obtained through the devil.
"I do know something." Zac waved his hand. "After receiving the funeral, insurance, and compensation arrangements for the North District Police, Mrs. Levine commissioned me to investigate the true cause of his husband's death."
Zac said a lot of information in a sentence, because a car drove into Grand, a guest who had a priority above Detective Coulson. Zac dropped this sentence and let Coulson absorb it first. The guests.
"Did I disturb something?" Mr. Smith glanced at Detective Coulson, who was standing next to Zach.
Coulson's response was quick, and countless questions appeared on his face, but the words were, "I, I'm going to the cemetery first." Nodded to Mr. Smith, and left.
Zac also nodded and said goodbye to Mr. Smith on the second floor of Grande, and went up first.
Zac did not go to the office, waiting for Mr. Smith on the second floor to watch the people come up, "Do you want to see Kepler's room first?"
Mr. Smith nodded and Zac led the way.
Although Smith's sudden visit, there is no sign, but everyone can guess what this father is here for. It's embarrassing him too. It's been more than a week for me to endure, and finally came.
Mr. Smith also knew his daughter. He stood in Kepler's room for a while, opened the girl's mattress with a clear purpose, and pulled out a pink diary under the mattress ...
Zac was amazed when he saw this for the first time. On the one hand, Mr. Smith's behavior, on the one hand ... Kepler? diary? Uh, it's too bad. Does n’t it mean that only mind-sensitive people have this habit, if Laura has the habit of writing a diary, Zach can imagine, Kepler? ?
There is a lock on the diary, the kind of password, Mr. Smith thought about it with a diary, "The original password is my birthday, when I sent her this diary." The finger flicked, for granted, The lock didn't open, and there was no expression on Mr. Smith's face. "I used to be touched by such a small thing."
Zac actually saw some details. This pink diary is very old. It's not the kind of wear and depreciation that is often used, it is ... the decay of time. The pink gum shell is somewhat deformed, and a closer look shows that it is not a popular item in this era.
"Then it was her own birthday." Mr. Smith tried another set of numbers. The lock still didn't respond, and Mr. Smith wasn't embarrassed. "When asked if she needed a new journal, she asked me when she was There is an 'old diary'. "
Zac understood, and indeed Kepler was not a diary. I ’m afraid it ’s not Mr. Ben Smith ’s reminder that Kepler does n’t remember that he touched his dad ...
"I guess it should be her fiance Jimmy Yuri's birthday now." Smith glanced at Zach. "After all, this whole run away from home is the attitude she wants to express. The housekeeper found this diary while cleaning the room. After she took it away, hum, I felt ... "The finger flicked. When the lock didn't respond, although Mr. Smith tried his best to cover up, Zach still observed that the middle-aged man was relieved.
Mr. Smith began to think, "What would it be ..."
Zac didn't want to remind, but Mr. Smith couldn't be shattered here. Zac pursed his lips, paying attention to the tone, "What about Jimmy's marriage proposal?"
Mr. Smith's face was gloomy, but his finger still moved. When the last code was reached, it clicked and unlocked.
Mr. Smith took a deep breath and revived himself once. "As I said, she wants to express her attitude."
Turn over the first page of the diary. Twisted words.
what! Journal! Our family is going to be poor! Dad is better than giving me something like this for a birthday gift!
It's too real.
Zac did not peek, the normal range of vampire eyesight.
Then the diary lasted a few pages, and it was gone.
When the handwriting with the date appears, the handwriting is obviously more like the handwriting of Kepler now. Just a few words, so boring, want to fall in love.
It's gone again.
Mr. Smith continues to turn, and the date of reappearance is already the most recent. What a lousy idea from Lola, Grand is bored to death!
In the future, blank.
Mr. Smith closed his diary, locked it, put it back in place, and leveled the bed. Standing in place for a while, "The school director contacted some capable parents. Ripter will do summer social activities and take a group of students to study abroad." Pause, "Go to the Republic."
"Similar to the graduation trip?" Now Zac is willing to take any topic, so that Mr. Smith is immersed in the embarrassment that is not well described, and it is not good for anyone.
"No." Mr. Smith shook his head. "The fresh graduates are useless in this kind of activity. They have already set the path for students who have plans in the future. This is the preparation for the exchange student project undertaken by the Barton family. "
The atmosphere changed instantly. The family dog ​​blood drama has become a "conspiracy" drama.
Zac ’s response did n’t have to worry, he immediately raised an eyebrow.
It ’s a decision to deal with the temporary failure to get Newton University ’s exchange student program to Barton. The Barton family wants to train students in Barton who can exchange to the Republic. "The Barton family is also fighting hard for Barton's honor, and all these things are done.
Smith nodded, "Ripter is preparing to hold a fundraising ball at the end of the semester to raise money for the students who attend the training. But after all, multinational projects require funds that are not comparable to ordinary school activities that can be completed in thousands. Yes, so in addition to such a ball for fundraising, a fixed donation that really occupies a big head is needed. "
"It sounds like a good reputation activity." Zach is very objective. "Reipt High School should be quite helpless. The Barton family suddenly made such an activity, but the school should also understand the number of students who can eventually participate in the republican study, and Not under the control of the school. However, if such an event can be successful, and it can bring some truly talented children to the opportunity of republican experience, everyone has a benefit. So open the event directly with the fundraising ball and open the opportunity. "Objective Right.
Mr. Smith clearly agreed with Zac ’s interpretation,
That ’s it. When the Bartons drafted quotas for participating students, I asked them to add Kepler and give Ripter room to add to the list. Then, Reipt has contacted us parents according to the original list. "Then, of course," I, the head of Smith, are the main objects of their fundraising. "
Zac is a little sad right now. There is such a big event in the school, and the two girls in her family did not say a word to themselves.
Smith seemed to see what Zac was thinking, "You will also receive this call. I'm just one of the top few on the list. You have to give ordinary school administrative office hours."
Uh ... Alice and Maya are also on the list? ?
Smith waved his hand, "But of course, the principle of this activity is voluntary, if your sister (Alice) refuses the opportunity, the school will naturally not disturb you."
Zac didn't think Alice would refuse, just thinking, the phone rang.
Smith glanced at Zach and gave ‘Let ’s say’,
I ’ll answer the phone with you.

Zac did not refuse, and the two happened to change places. It ’s weird to talk about the adult world in a girl ’s room.
The call came from Raipute, but it was not the school's administrative staff, but Alice.
The content that Alice said is not repeated, just explained that the school gives students sufficient voluntary space. Not only can they refuse or agree to summer study activities, but also choose to discuss with their guardians.
Zach asked a question, "Do all your friends go?"
"Sissi doesn't go, she said that she has visited her once, and it's nothing fun."
Uh, this may be the truth.
Putting down the phone, Zach looked at Mr. Smith again, confirming one thing in the words he just asked Alice, "Jimmy Yuri will go too."
"I know." There was no expression on Mr. Smith's face. "I checked the law of the Republic. If this kid wants to do anything with Kepler, hum." Stopped, "Hum." Instead of laughing.
Zac knew he couldn't continue asking. But Zac could feel that Mr. Smith came here today, not to say something Zac would know anyway, "Mr. Smith, what are you doing here today?"
"Lewis is republican, right, to hide from those boring reporters, go and relax."
Zac understands, Smith is here to continue looking for a guardian for his daughter who doesn't want to go home. Zack smiled. "Yes, if you want Louise to take care of them in the Republic, she will definitely agree."
This can be used as a reward for Alice who lived in Smith Manor for a while after returning from Newton to Barton in advance.
"Thank you very much." Mr. Smith nodded. "I know you suggested me. If you don't want to be embarrassed, use this as a commission, just as we once commissioned you to harmonize the relationship between children in the West End. But I still want Sincerely say thank you. "
Thanks for being very sincere, Zac took it.
The two looked at each other in this harmonious atmosphere and kept smiling for a while.
"Smith, what do you think of eternal life?"
There was no insidious motive or special purpose, and Zac suddenly wanted to ask.
"Eternal life?" Smiling Smith froze for a moment, then, "No opinion." He didn't realize anything.
Some things, just miss it if you miss it. Mr. Smith also knew that Zach and Detective Coulson had to deal with it. Although he did not know what it was, the identity of the detective, Mr. Smith, knew when to avoid suspicion.
"If Kepler didn't ask, don't say I've been here."
"What if she asked?"
"Well, I said I peeked at her diary." Mr. Smith was also truly speechless, said goodbye, and left.
