Chapter 41: Chapter 7 Holess Man
Recently, Grande Funeral Ho has been overwheld by chores. The construction of the abandoned mill and the purchase of the cremation facility, and they must also consider recruiting new employees. Although Zach didn’t do anything himself, and he simply let Madison handle it, Madison, who had just joined the Grande family, was still in the process finding out the temper of the boss, so whenever there was sothing that needed to be decided by Zach, he would still go to ask Zach.
I have to say that it is because of this, I developed the habit of asking him questions…
To Zach’s surprise, Grande Funeral Ho seed to have beco the focus of attention. Thanks to an article in the Barton Daily on Monday about traditional funerals. Of course, this kind of report that targets social phenona and then invites all parties to express their opinions does not have any practical significance for the thing itself. Obviously, the reporters did not discover any ‘conspiracy’, and then ca up with such a thing, so they can find out the direction of public interests. This kind of thod is also called “fishing.”
When it was discovered that a large number of people had started to reserve a tomb at Grande Funeral Ho, Barton Daily spent a lot of ti to praise the Mayor of Barton for defending the ‘right to choose’ for the citizens, Bla blah blah…
Being occupied by chores, Zach didn’t notice that Jas had not called in for a few days.
After the incident of the shapeshifter was resolved, Jas would often call and ask for the assistance of the Grande family. Just like when they t Madison. The two sides worked cooperatively to eliminate all nonhumans who had entered Barton because of rumors.
Jas didn’t call again, partly because he no longer trusted Zach. With Madison’s example, Jas realized that he can’t give Zach a chance to grow his force. But the more important reason was that Jas had no ti for “private business”, and he had a hunch that his secret mission and his work were intersected.
“You better tell the truth!”
This is a dark alley in the northern district of Barton City. The light of the street lights is blocked by the buildings on both sides, and the shabby cardboards and trash cans form the hos of holess n. Detective Coulson was holding a ten Dor bill in his hand, “If I find out that you are lying, I don’t mind taking you away for obstruction of justice!”
“Dude!” The holess quickly snatched the money from Coulson and said, “please take away now. At least there are four complete walls in the police station!”
“Humph!” Coulson snorted coldly, with his hands pushing away his coat, arms akimbo, exposing half of the holster on his waist, “Now tell what you saw.”
The holess man took the money, and then began to narrate slightly nervously: “Every night, the person who lives on the fourth floor would always drop so bread.” The holess man looked up the escape ladder and pointed up, “But yesterday, that person did not do it. I was very angry! I wanted to go up there and talk to him! Doug told to forget it! But how could I forget it! I had not even had my dinner!”
Jas and Coulson looked at each other, the disgust in their eyes could not be concealed.
“I know I was right!” the holess man said proudly. “Now I’m still alive, just because I went up to talk to him!” He pointed to the top, and then his eyes suddenly beca horrified, and his dirty hands put on his lips as if he was an actor: “That’s when I saw that guy!”
“So you were looking down from the top?” Jas shook his head: “You didn’t see his appearance at all!”
“Of course I couldn’t see it! It was night, and it was so dark here! Even if I didn’t go up there, I still could not see his face!” The mind of the holess man was surprisingly logical.
Coulson waved his hand and signaled his partner not to rush him, “what did you see?”
“He, no! It! It lifted open my bed directly!” The holess man angrily pointed at the tattered cardboard beside him, and then showed a trace of complacency: “Thankfully, I was not here. He lifted open Doug’s place again and pulled Doug out,” the holess pointed to the other side of the alley, and his face beca more complacent: “Then, then ate Doug!”
“What?” Coulson’s eyes widened, “What the hell are you talking about!” Coulson didn’t mind the dirty stains on the holess man. He pushed away his hand and was about to snatch the ten Dor he hid in his trousers.
Jas pulled away Coulson, who had lost ten Dor for nothing, and asked the holess man who tightly guarded his buttocks, “What is it, an animal? Dogs, wolves, or sothing like that?”
“Of course not! Have you ever seen a dog wearing clothes? !” The holess man said in a tone like he was talking to an idiot, “It’s a person! A man! A very strong man! Doug didn’t even make a sound!”
“Let’s go!” Coulson broke away from Jas’s hand. “It’s a waste of ti here!”
Jas sighed helplessly, and no longer cared about the nervous holess man, and left the alley with Coulson. But Coulson did not really leave, but knocked on the door of the building on the side of the alley with Jas. They wanted to confirm if there was a guy nad Doug who was always in this area.
After a simple interview, the two returned to their car. The expressions of the two detectives were not very good. It has been confird that there were indeed two holess people here. One of them was the guy with so ntal problem, and the other was Doug who was said to be eaten.
“You can go ho first.” Jas looked at his partner. “You should go ho to accompany Mrs. Coulson and the kid. I can keep eyes on this place.”
Coulson stared at his partner for a while. He wondered why his partner suddenly beca like a different person. Compared with the guy who only knew to eat in the first week, Jas was much more reliable now. Such doubts, destined to lead nowhere, were soon put away by Coulson, who frowned and shook his head: “No, it’s too dangerous. He is very likely to co back. I don’t believe the bullshit that the guy said, but the murderer has the ability to get rid of Doug quietly, obviously, he is not an easy person to deal with! ”
The case began with a report that a holess man who had often appeared in the area, went missing. With the unsolved prostitute death so ti ago, Barton police departnt was very nervous, not to ntion the chief Cologne and Detective Coulson, who knew the existence of ‘David’.
On the official record, David was missing. The party that reported missing was Barton Telecom that noticed David didn’t turn up for work, but actually he had been taken out by Benjamin. This was only known to Jas and the Mayor, but the two obviously would not speak out. Not knowing the truth, The Barton Police Departnt, Cologne, and even Coulson, naturally linked the prostitutes’ case and the holess man case together.
In the eyes of the police, perhaps at so point in the future, they would discover the remains of the missing holess man just like those prostitutes.
Jas sighed in his heart because he knew that the two cases were completely different and that the holess man with ntal problems was likely telling the truth…
Zach once reminded Jas to be careful and rember to protect himself. Because there must be so reasons for the nonhumans that existed at the bottom of the nonhuman society to be rejected by its original society and look for a new place to stay.
In terms of what reasons they were, Jas could easily figure out that it was definitely not so good things.
