Vol 3 Chapter 11: Director of Cologne

On the way back to the Southern District, Zach has been thinking about how he said "Torrido died in Barton". He always felt that his thinking logic was missing, but inexplicably wanted to say the result first ... ... Uh, in short, Zack's return journey is very slow, relying on normal human walking to delay time, hoping that he can come up with clearer ideas when he arrives at the Southern District Police Station.
When Kozak was already standing at the door of the Southern District Police Station, his mind was still muddled. After glancing at James's car parked at the door, Zac shook his head. Forget it. Don't want to. Zac stepped into the police station.
Ideally, someone should come over immediately to see Zac at first sight. meet? Don't be so ideal, Zack is not a flower that everyone loves.
"Who are you looking for?" The guy in the police uniform raised his chin at Zac.
Zac glanced indoors, and none of the people he expected to see saw, "Report the case."
"Report a crime?" The police officer at the reception looked at Zac again. Oh, he had already looked at it when Zac came in-no injuries, no excitement, and he asked after the first judgment. Who, "Fill in a form." Guess it's not a big case, otherwise it won't be so calm, so I handed a form to Zac.
Zac took it, a little speechless, "In fact, I'm looking for someone."
"Oh." The police officer looked at Zac again, blinking his eyes as if thinking. Retrieved the form from Zac, "Who are you looking for?"
James? impossible. Zac knew that he said, ‘There is a Torrido dead,’ and James would only applaud. Wes? Also ... no. Weiss was too accepting of the alien race, and he probably couldn't realize the significance of having Torredo die in Button. That is only, "Police Korsen ..."
"Wait a minute!" Was interrupted. "I think I know who you are! You are Zachary Grande, right! Is the owner of the funeral home right?"
"I am." Zac had to nod politely, unable to expect what this guy would say later.
"Ha! I know! We have this in the Southern District ..." It's impolite to shake one finger up and down in front of Zac's, just to describe Zac's clothing, probably didn't think of a suitable vocabulary , "Style! Ha ha, you are a celebrity in the Southern District ~ Our bureau was apologized like you were interviewed some time ago ..."
This guy is too unfair. Isn't Zack already a celebrity in the Southern District? In the Southern District, where no one cares, only Grande can make news frequently. It was not just because the Southern District Police Station publicly apologized to Grande some time ago.
On the contrary, since this police officer specifically mentioned this matter, Zac can foresee that this guy completely ignores the person he just said-
The police officer recognized Zac and ran away. While blinking at Zac for an unknown meaning, he went straight to the innermost office of the police station and knocked on the door, "Director! Mr. Grande is here! Mr. Grande of Grande Funeral Home! "
Zac really didn't want to speak. Quietly watching the door of the office being pushed open, Director Cologne glanced at Zac, and a tick, it was considered an invitation.
It doesn't matter, the Director of Cologne will do. Zac walked to the office, ignoring the police officer who was laughing next to him. Some people just do n’t care about it.
It is not the first time for Zuck to come to the Southern District Police Station, but it is the first time Zack has entered the office of the chief. The chief of the North District Police Office, Zac was fortunate to enter by Darcy's acquiescence. The comparison made Zack a little sorry, and after looking at the seat, he looked at Cologne. "I came to detective Coulson. I may have information about the self-explosive case."
Zac could feel that if it wasn't a boring police officer making a claim, and Cologne didn't want to be disturbed-when Zack entered the office, Cologne picked up the handset and said "wait later" and hung up. Obviously Zac's entry interrupted something. Nazak might as well say his purpose directly.
But Cologne did not seem to be in a hurry, and keenly grasped the question in Zach's words: "Looking for Coson? Isn't it Lance."
Zach is smart enough, "Detective Coulson is not the person in charge of this joint investigation, so why waste time transmitting information."
"Well." Cologne didn't observe Zac's expression. He was looking at the document in front of him, and nodded. "You have a point." There was no intention of telling Zac to tell Koulsen to come over.
Zac had already sensed where Coulson's group was. Upstairs, three detectives and a group of policemen were cleaning up the room in embarrassment.
Zac adjusted his sitting posture. On this occasion, it seems that he can't stand up and walk away. It is tentative. "Of course, I tell the director that you are the same."
"No." Cologne is also logical enough, "I'm still wasting my time communicating to Coulson." That is what he said, but he still didn't look for the trend of Coulson coming over.
This is what made Zack a little bit confused, pursed his lips, and looked at the document that Cologne was looking at. It was familiar to him. It was the witness statement from the North District Police that James took home yesterday. To be more specific, the Director of Cologne looked at the testimony of the "clown" (doctor, brother-in-law of Cologne).
Anyway, Zack didn't know what to do, so he guessed it and tried it out, "He was just unlucky and encountered this kind of thing."
Cologne looked up at Zac, "You said it was unlucky to see a man explode in front of himself."
"Or lucky?" At this time, Zach was talking nonsense, to see what Cologne would react to-a very inefficient communication technique, "it is not him who explodes. It is lucky to witness more than himself."
"Huh." It was simple. Cologne reacted, disgusting at all. "I wish he would blow it up."
If we go back to the original events of this story, we can remember that Cologne did not like this brother-in-law. But still, this is too straightforward ...
"Liar." Cologne didn't hide his emotions sincerely. "He always told my sister that he was working overtime, how critical the patient's condition was. He had to stay in the hospital, hey, heal the wounded. Hey, he was attending. Such a boring assembly! He can lie to such ridiculous things, who knows what lies he has said! "
Well, for this reason, let's agree with Cologne's aversion for the time being. Zac nodded slightly to show that he supported Cologne. But it seems that there is no room for this topic to continue, Zach needs to continue to talk nonsense in order to test ...
"Who are you." Cologne's emotions changed abnormally quickly, and after looking down as if to ask a question, he bowed his head again and looked at the document.
"Yes?" Zach pretended not to understand. "What are you talking about?"
"I ask you, who the are you." Cologne specified his question very intimately. "What the are you, what special identity do you have. And what secrets do you have."
There is no room for it, Zac can only look at Cologne sincerely, "I don't understand your problem."
"If I were still the chief of the North District Police Department, I would not give you the privilege to contact witnesses." Cologne began to explain his problems. "You are just an informant, you must admit that there are many informants. The person is the informant, you are not the law enforcer. So for what reason, Darcy in that position allowed you to contact the witnesses. "Take a quick glance at Zac, this is to see the expression," Can you answer me. "
Cologne didn't see anything, Zac was calm.
Before Zack answers, I can answer this question asked by Cologne--
Simple, Zac's position in the Demon Banquet is higher and much higher than Darcy's.
Next, listen to Zack's answer to Cologne: "In the west, the Lance family is much stronger than Darcy."
You can obviously feel Cologne's instantaneous stagnation and recover quickly. He nodded, "So what I guessed has always been right. A lot of things, including Darcy's airborne, I was demoted to the South, all because of James Lance."
Is there a problem with Cologne's logic, no? Zac simply replaced the Magic Banquet and the Lance family. Cologne doesn't need to know things like the Devil's Banquet and aliens, a Lance family who is fully cultivating the family's children is enough.
After nodding his head, he shook his head and looked at Zac, seeming to laugh at himself, "If I don't express publicly that I don't like James Lance, I should still be in the North District Police Station now, right?"
At this time, it is fine to follow the instructions. Anyway, the logic has been rationalized by Cologne. Zac only needs to add some bricks, "probably not." Zac used a relaxed and sincere tone, "You need to Darcy is like that, well, good enough. You ca n’t be angry that James ignores your orders, and you have to listen to James ’orders occasionally. Can you do this?

"Oh. Impossible." Cologne smiled and looked down at the document.
Therefore, Zac should have escaped ...
"Who the are you?" Cologne hadn't given up his question, "Now I'm looking at it more clearly--the first case where James Lance came to Barton, x the female corpse case, you It appeared. "He tilted his head and still retained the previous smile, but it was a little cold." How long have you been in Patton? It has been almost 11 years. You wrote it on the file. Is it right to find your father. " It completely turned into a sneer. "You waited 10 years for the appearance of James Lance, huh. The Lance family, General Lance."
Zac has begun to be a little cautious. Obviously Cologne is not a role that can be easily dealt with, perhaps a professional relationship, this guy may not let go of any details, so, "What do you think I am?"
The policy has been set, and that is to use the logic of the other party to persuade the other party. Therefore, Zac needs the other party to give himself clues. Understand it.
"You have medical experience." Uh, sure enough, I don't give up any details. Cologne actually grabbed Zac. "But not in your file." Cologne glanced at Zac. "You explained, I keep My own opinion. Then you are a trader on the file. Haha, according to what you said, during that war, everything was not fixed businessmen. Your brother Benjamin is a soldier. "
Zac is not prepared to respond to any information already on the table, but just nods, indicating that Cologne can continue at will.
"Ike." Cologne said the name.
Zac showed no emotion.
"Before Ike died." Everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. Cologne didn't know that his former comrades were now renovating and staying by the angel as a container. "Vague ..." Cologne's mood is a little unstable, understandable, After all, Ike was 'dead' in front of him. "When telling me what he was down to, he mentioned General Lance's business in the west." (Ike had revealed to James that Mushi ’s father, General Lance, rebels and is smuggling with Northland.)
Zac's brain is already following Cologne's words-Ike came to Patton with the dying body to find Zac!
The patchwork of the entire clue seems to be going in a direction that is not good for Zac.
Hidden professional skills, businessmen with uncertain whereabouts, younger brother is a soldier. General Lance, smuggling. Let's go for it yourself.
Sure enough, Cologne seemed to have given up looking at the document in front, closed it, and looked at Zac seriously, "Ike came to you, you denied knowing him in my face. Now I ask you again, you still Persist that you do n’t know Ike. "
Zac replied, "I insist. He is dead and does not exist, so I insist on my original statement." The typical ‘word I will put here, how I want to follow you. ’Recalling above, is n’t that Zac ’s policy at this time.
Cologne nodded. "Good answer, he's dead." Then he looked at Zac with an indescribable look. "If I know each other, shouldn't it be when I consciously stop asking you questions?" Alright? "
"Yes." Skillfully followed the other's words, "But it looks like you won't stop."
Cologne nodded in relief, but, "I'll be here this time, when I have more things worth asking ..." Needless to say, this is a Zak Zak must meet at some point in the future The right 'dating'.
Cologne picked up the phone and said, "Corson, right." It was to confirm to Zac again that Zac was looking for.
"Yes."
Cologne pressed the numbers and looked at Zac while he was waiting. "I'm not going to die suddenly one day." Such straightforwardness is also inexplicable.
"No." This is the situation where you only have one answer.
The situation upstairs was a bit chaotic, and Zach could hear the cluttered sound, and the bell was not noticed by anyone. The phone was not picked up for a while, and Cologne spoke again.
This guy is also not sincere at all. He talked and let Zac go now-"I will not suddenly change my temperament one day. Like Repeter (Nuo), there is no reason to avoid certain things. Right. "
Zac frowned.
Somewhere in this story, I was told that Cologne, who was once the head of the North District, was the source of the gray career circle.
"That's my personal problem with Nuo." On this issue, Zack has no logic to convince the other party. This is a purely alien-human conflict. Zack can't get rid of the alien part to make any brainwashing comments. Excuse yourself.
And Cologne cunningly proposed in this way in this slot, obviously what he just said, there is no information to play. It's cheating Zack.
Therefore, you must get away.
Zach stood up. "Where is Detective Coulson, I will go by myself."
Cologne hesitated, but dropped the phone. "Personal question." Still trying.
Zac expressed boredom at the right time, "Yes, personal problems." Used to contrast with the previous calm, to distinguish between public and private.
Understandably, no matter what kind of ‘role’ Cologne has regarded Zac as, Zac always faces calmly. This is fair, and Zac does not deny or argue. But when it comes to Nuo's problem, it is private. Two mental states deal with two things, and Zac has already done his job.
Succeeded.
Cologne nodded and pointed upstairs, "The second archive room on the left. They are cleaning the room as the office of the joint investigation."
Zac still took care of the etiquette, and was not very impatient. He nodded and left the office.
To be more concise, Zac does n’t intend to say more in the presence of James—
"Detective Coulson, didn't you say that you were worried about 'General'? You were right, one of his men died, maybe it was related to this case."
