Chapter 24: odor

Near five o'clock, Barton Mayor Anthony slumped in his car, and the beautiful female secretary Gina bent over bitterly, massaging her heels. ?? Bayi ▼ China? Wen Wang. ww.81zw.com? Anthony's eyes unconsciously looked down at a part of Gina's stoop that was exposed. This day's exhaustion seems to have reduced a lot ...
"Keep your eyes in front! Watch the road!" Anthony ’s front-seat driver ’s eyes in the rear-view mirror are focusing on the same place as he is. He sternly reminds the restless driver while reaching out to stop in front of Gina. .
Gina realized her posture and straightened up shyly, covering her chest, and at the same time she gave a grateful smile to the mayor.
The mayor of Barton nodded coldly, but was happy in his heart, ‘one step at a time, build goodwill first, do n’t worry, do n’t worry ...’
Let us not judge the philosophy of Mr. Mayor's conquest of women for the time being, and briefly describe Mr. Mayor's busy day.
The municipal government recovered the cemetery and privatized the funeral and burial industry. By the time of Barton City (Barton was located on the easternmost side of Massa), it had been implemented throughout Massa. But for the entire Federation, this is just a trial. So the governor and the two Massa Senators attach great importance. All day today, what Anthony did was dragging the two governors to inspect each cemetery and explain what projects would be carried out after the land was recovered.
Of course, during this process, the two senators destined to become opponents showed very different concerns. One is more concerned about the direction of the funeral industry. Anthony has to take the south cemetery in charge of Zac as an example to explain that the city of Patton has not abandoned its traditions ... while the other is more concerned about land planning and commercial value. ...
Anthony is in the middle, there is an illusion that the governor's campaign has begun.
In short, Anthony is free now. He sent these two politicians away. Now he can finally return to the city hall and rest for a while, then he will go to the birthday party of Cologne ’s niece!
"Gina, what's the name of Cologne's niece?" Anthony rubbed his temple and asked his secretary.
Gina replied: "Lisa. Mr., is the daughter of the youngest sister of the Director of Cologne. Eight ▼ one? Middle ★? Wenwen www.81zw.com?"
"How old?"
"Ten years old. Sir."
Anthony sighed. If it weren't for his personal relationship with Cologne, the birthday party of a ten-year-old girl, how could the mayor ‘attend’! Anthony looked out of the window, and the City Hall building had already appeared.
The driver opened the door, and after Anthony got out of the car, Gina followed him. Anthony decided to go back to the office soon, and then drunk himself, and then he could spend a birthday party with a ten-year-old kid in a confused sense.
Anthony walked past the reception hall of the town hall and walked in. No, Anthony looked back and looked at the two people sitting in the hall, Zac and Benjamin!
Anthony reluctantly made a gesture of 'going to the office' towards the two, and then took a holiday directly to Gina.
Back at the mayor's office, Anthony opened the whisky bottle cap, and the three pushed the door of his office.
three people?
Zac smiled and capped the whiskey cap. "Anthony, what we're going to say next requires you to stay awake."
Anthony frowned, and Ren Zac took the bottle back to the wine cabinet and looked at the third person: "Who is this? Wait." Anthony rubbed his temple: "You are James Lance! Lance General's son! Why are you with these two people ?! "
"Look, I said, you need to stay awake." Zac seemed to be very familiar with it and had to move two stools, and all three sat down.
"Uh." Anthony stared at Zac: "What's the matter? He's James, right! It's not a mess!"
James has now fully believed that Anthony and Zac have a deep friendship, and James now does not know whether to be happy or sad ...
"Benjamin! You said, you are the good one. How did you come here?" Anthony knew that vampires like to play with words. Compared with them, werewolves are more straightforward and Anthony prefers to talk to werewolves. Eight ?? ● One ▼ Chinese website www.81zw.com?
Benjamin raised an eyebrow at Zac. Anthony ’s
praise
was very useful:
This is James Lance, but in the past week, there are two 'James’ in Barton City. Specifically, please Let me explain. "
James looked at the ghosts and wolves around him, and then at the serious mayor. He never thought that he would meet the mayor of Barton in this way, and the mayor ’s behavior and words just expressed one thing. He believed in two other people than the son of General Lance. personal'.
Barton City is these three people, James is just an outsider.
James took a few deep breaths, setting aside this feeling and telling the whole story: the shape-shifter, the missing, the corpse, his encounter with Zac Benjamin, David, the newsletter, the rumors ... all told.
Anthony's face changed several times during James's narrative. Finally, he put his hands on his face and leaned on the desk: "Zac, go get my whiskey, I need a drink now."
"No." Zach shook his head: "I need you to stay awake and think like a mayor."
"Hey." Anthony touched his face with both hands, and his expression was not very good. Anthony extended his right hand to James: "Sorry, I doubted your identity before."
James reached out his right hand and held it, normal human body temperature, shaking vigorously. James read Anthony's information and knew that he was born a soldier.
"Another shapeshifter, uh, Kim, where is he?" Anthony began to think.
"He is in my trunk." Benjamin replied: "We don't want him to move around."
"The rumors that he said are somewhat credible." Anthony frowned and said, "I mean, can we trust this guy?"
James breathed a sigh of relief. From this sentence, he felt that the mayor did not want interracial to enter the city of Barton!
"Full score." Zac replied somewhat helplessly: "He was the first to come to Barton. He was seriously picky about his diet and his sense of purpose was very weak." Zac glanced at James, meaning , He actually let James survive, "These weirdness means that he is the one who is excluded even in his own ethnic group. The heterogeneous ethnic group is not much different from the ordinary people, and people will not abandon their own because of a rumor. Home, but he did. "
"That is to say, he can no longer stay in his original place of residence. And you, you are a vampire who can walk in the sun, his loyalty shifts." Anthony nodded, sighed again, and then asked : "Do you have any plans? I don't want my city to be occupied by low-level aliens!"
James noticed the words used by Anthony to describe Zac. It seems that Zac's "noble" mentioned in Coulson's studio has a special meaning!
"The first step, I need to get in touch with the body that was found before. I want to lock in the smell of the rumored shapeshifter." Benjamin said: "Although the rumor has been released, we must at least end this source first."
"Then why do you come to me?" Anthony asked puzzled. "James, you have recovered your identity. You can take Benjamin yourself ..." Anthony suddenly thought of something and pressed his brow: "Damn ! Recycle the cemetery, privatize the funeral! "
Benjamin shrugged, and the mayor seemed to have realized it.
After receiving the victim ’s body, the Barton Police Department first went through the forensic examination and certificate, and then sent it to the funeral owner who once belonged to the municipal government ’s public resources. If it has not been claimed for a long time, it will be disposed of casually.
This process has not changed today, but there are two points to note in this case. First, when the body was revealed, it had been exposed to the outside world for too long, and the corruption was serious. After being sent to the forensic examination, it was sent to the funeral owner.
Second, the privatization of the funeral industry. The facilities that used to be public resources are privately owned. Any economically savvy owner will not destiny that no one will collect them. The corpses that have been seriously damaged have been kept for too long.
Benjamin had already transferred all funeral homes in Patton City this morning because of the acquisition of stone. Everyone has received notification of privatization under the municipal government, which means that the unowned objects that are now stored in them have become In order to transfer their private property, there must be a formal search warrant if they need to be transferred.
Moreover, if the funeral owners move fast enough, these corpses occupying resources are estimated to be the first batch of cremated!
Before coming here, Benjamin had gone to David's house and remembered the smell of David. Now he still needs to compare the smell of the previous body to separate out the smell that can truly determine the shape change.
If you do n’t understand, let me explain. The smell of the shape-shifter is composed of two parts, one is the smell of the shape-shifter's external image, and the other is the fixed smell of the shape-shifter itself. This is a special phenomenon produced by the two sets of digestion systems of the shape-shifter.
What Benjamin now gets is a mixture of the scent of David and the shape changer. Even the real David has a mixed smell because of the shape change. So what Benjamin needs is another different mixed odor, to confirm the part of the odor that is unchanged by contrast.
Werewolf nose, is it magical? I think so.
"I need to call Cologne!" Anthony picked up the phone. Even though the mayor was very anxious, the dial of the phone still turned slowly. Anthony only hopes that the shape-shifter is not manipulating the telephone line now, or, he is hoping that the other party is manipulating!
After the number was broadcast, there was a busy tone in the receiver. Yes, it was busy tone. This kind of sound that was often heard only ten years ago was often heard in Barton City this week. The busy tone means that the other party is talking to others and cannot be connected. In fact, after the popularization of answering machines, this voice has long been replaced by "please leave a message after beeping".
Now there is a busy tone instead of a voice message from the answering machine, which represents a little, ‘David’ is controlling the communication!
"Busy tone, he is in the Barton Telecommunication Bureau now!" Anthony said as he looked at Benjamin.
"Very good." Benjamin stood up. "I save a lot of trouble. I'll go first."
"Pay attention to safety ~" Zac said to Benjamin who stood up and moved his arms, and at the same time pulled James who was about to leave together: "What are you doing? There are important things not finished yet!"
