“Zach, phone.” Louise knocked on the kitchen door and said to Zach.

the past few days, the phone in Zachs office usually stopped after the ringtone ended, and then the phone on Louises desk would ring. If the other party asked Louise to be unable to solve the problem, Will be transferred to Zach again.

Because the answer to the original call has already stated that this is a private call, please call the new number for funeral affairs.

But this time, the caller seemed extremely persistent.

Zach returned to the office and answered the phone.

“What are you doing, why take so long to answer the phone!” It was James’ voice.

“Cooking lunch.” Zach is almost adapted to the human’s impatience, “Detective Lance, everyone in the Grand House needs to eat.” And the vampire knows what to do. What you say can touch James’ most vulnerable nerve.

The sound of James taking a deep breath came from the earpiece.

“I just called to tell you that Neil and Daphne are awake!” Fiercely said, “You better be ready!”

“I listen Having said that, this is a good thing, congratulations to Quest.” Today’s newspaper has already reported this matter. The best way to wait for the funeral to end is to read the newspaper to pass the time. But Zach’s “congratulations” is obviously not sincere, but he is a little puzzled, what is it about him? “Prepare? What are you preparing.”

James on the receiver side seemed to be organizing the language, and he said several times without saying anything.

Zach browses frowned, he decided to ask himself, “Did you go to Quest?”

” Quest is looking for me again!” James There was a lot of resentment in his tone, “He thought I would know something!”

“What do you know?” Zach was even more puzzled, “How did the two disappear? Why do you ask? The person involved is not faster.”

“This is the problem!” James became excited, “The two of you don’t know anything! Since waking up, the spirit has been in a state of confusion, very crazy. Same! Keep shouting “Don’t hurt me” or something! The police can’t ask anything useful!”

Zac chuckled, “So, you must think that’s not crazy, right?”

“Yes! Something attacked them!”

Zac frowned, “Be specific.”

“Nothing can be specific! “James said irritably, “I said, the two of them are insane. Something beyond what they can describe has attacked them, this is the only thing that can be confirmed!”

Zach thought for a while, “James, did you leave this to us Grande again?”

“Of course! What can I do?! It was originally yours Yes, I just told him who he was looking for, and who he was looking for!” James became obviously irritated, “Quest kept pressing the police and exerting pressure, but what can we do?! The police can’t go. Force two mentally disordered people!”

“You are transferring responsibility.” Zach sighed then said, “I should tell you that Daniel has no news so far, even if Quest entrusts me to find it.’ The murderer’ I didn’t do it either…”

Zac paused suddenly, “Wait. James, what’s the matter.”

James Lance is right The victim’s family said, “The police can’t solve it, go find someone else.” This is not in line with the vampire’s perception of James’ character. At the most, James asked Grande to assist him in the investigation, and he would never lose all his work to Zach!

Zac tentatively said, “You are avoiding contact with Quest again, you want to get rid of him.”

Listening to the earpiece, breathing quickly, Zach’s temptation With the result, “You are investigating Quest, did you find any clues, right?”

After a moment of silence, James over there complied, “Yes, but It has nothing to do with you!”

Zac pondered for a while and smiled, “You must have found something significant, which is enough to fit our previous guesses and constitute a motive for the disappearance…”

“Stop! I said it! I won’t tell you! At least not now!” James on the receiver raised his voice and interrupted Zac, “Anyway, you do Prepare! And, you cant cross the line! I do my job, you do yours, and find the real perpetrator!”

Zac smiled and understood what James meant, “Okay Yes, Detective Lance.”

Hang up, the vampire was in a good mood and drew out a wine glass. Vampires are probably the easiest creature to prepare food in this World.

“What are you laughing at?” Benjamin, who entered the office, looked at Zac, sat down at the desk, fiddled with the pen holder on the desk. The werewolf came here to wait for lunch after nothing happened. As a werewolf who can only knead dough, Alice doesn’t expect Benjamin to make a contribution in the kitchen, but Matthew seems to know everything and is helping in the kitchen.

“James’ call.” Zach replied.

“Oh.” Benjamin smiled, “What did he say?”

“He said,’You can’t cross the line, I do my job, you do yours.’ “Zac squinted.

Benjamin scratched his chin, “It still sounds like a bit of prejudice, but you have been guided by you, and you have the meaning of dividing and cooperating with your own will.”

Zach raised his eyebrows and sipped the “wine” in the glass.

The phone rang, not Louise transferred in. Zach raised an eyebrow at Benjamin and answered the phone, “Grand House, can I help you?”

“It’s me, Quest.” There was a voice in the receiver. A 30-year-old male voice, “I have a new delegate for you.”

“Mr. Quest!”

Benjamin looked at Zach so fake With an expression of helpless surprise, he smiled and shook his head.

“What does Mr. Quest need?”

The voice over the receiver is cold and deep, “I want someone, no matter who did this to my younger brother, I want That person! I dont care about the’truth’ or the’process’, I just want that person, no matter what he is, I want him! This is not against your rules!”

Zac did not speak, causing It was an illusion of thinking, but in fact it was just exchanging eyes with Benjamin while holding the microphone. After a while, Zach made a thoughtful expression. Only when the play is sufficient, the voice of the past can be convincing through the phone.

“No. We Grande refused.”

“Why!” The other party seemed to lose his calm! The voice was so loud that Benjamin could hear it clearly without using Alpha skin.

Zuck pulled the earpiece apart, rubbed his ears sideways, raised his eyebrows at Benjamin, and said, “The police are paying too much attention to this matter.” Zach said in a regretful tone. “Since Mr. Quest was introduced by Mr. Herman, it must be understandable. We dont want to be involved with the police.”

Dont forget, Zach is basically Herman made the request of’I’ll solve the man who killed Connor’. What happened? Except for the death sentence of a hunter who was waiting for the fall, the rest, those who emerged, and those who did not, all died! Of course, Herman didn’t need to know that there was one person, Ravenge, who became a dead person.

The other party is silent. Anyone can do such a simple reasoning. The actions of the Grand House are not permitted by law.

“Especially that James Lance.” Zach blinked at Benjamin. “Mr. Quest should have also heard about the last commission from Mr. Herman. This way. A detective is a good thing for Barton, but it seems too dangerous for us.”

The other party is still silent, and Zach has to continue, “I suggest Mr. Quest leave this to Detective Lance, after all, found your younger brother, and he was involved.”

“He won’t get involved anymore!” This time, the other party responded quickly.

“oh?” Zach continued to pretend to be puzzled, “Why? The Lance Detective I know is not like a person who gives up easily.”

“My younger brother… Neil he…” The other party’s voice was full of hatred, and the vampire could clearly hear the agitated and turbulent breath, which was transmitted to the vampire’s ears through electronic conversion, “he , He’s crazy!”

The suppressed bass came from the receiver, and Zac frowned. Now he is a little shaken. The speculation that Quest was the person who caused his younger brothers disappearance was carried out when he was not in contact with Quest. Now such an emotion does not seem to be a “strong hope” for his younger brother. Brother who disappeared can show it.

“There is a…, uh, what regulations! The police said.” The people over the receiver seemed to be extremely angry. “They said, people who are mentally unstable, uh, so People, what they said cannot be used as testimony and cannot be used! The police have all evacuated, including that, Lance!”

Under the two emotions of sadness and anger, Quest even The speech is intermittent, but the meaning is fully expressed.

Zac and Benjamin exchanged glances, “Did Neil say something? Where is Daphne?”

“They said…I don’t know! I don’t want to know! This is your job!”

Zach thought for a while, this time he really thought, but the content of his thoughts is not whether to accept the commission. It doesn’t make any difference whether to accept or not, because the suspect in Zach’s heart is missing, and he can directly reply to the request with “solved”.

Be devoted to Quinn because Alice has a good impression of Mrs. Quinn, to Mrs. Barton because Mrs. Quinn revealed some of Grandes secrets, and to Herman because Zach wanted revenge.

To Quest? Uh, there seems to be nothing. But now Zach has wavered in his judgment, and this is the content of his thinking.

“Mr. Quest, have the police abandoned this case now.”

“Yes!”

“Well, then we Accepted. But we cannot guarantee results.”

“Yes!”

“Where are Neil and Daphne now?”

” Hospital.”

“Bring it out. Mr. Quest, I hope you understand that we dont want to be noticed by the public.”

“Good! You guys this afternoon…”

Zac hung up without waiting for the other party to finish talking. Quest is a controlling person, and Zach is not prepared to give the other person a sense of control, although the two parties have the same meaning.

In the afternoon, avoiding the violent noon sun, Benjamin’s truck drove away from the Grand House and drove on Highway 27 to the Quest Estate in the Western Region.
