Records Of Barton's Fantastical Events Chapter 153 – Chapter 22 Emotion

Seeing Zach didn't seem bothered to argue with him, James frowned. He already felt that the vampire's mood was not so high today. He always said a few words before he got annoyed. It was completely different from the full body and facial expressions he did in the past.

“What's the matter with you?” James kept frowning, “I don't want to argue with you, I just have doubts. You should explain it to me well now, not wave your hand and not answer the question.”

Zach looked at James again and was amused by him. Has this guy accustomed to being provoked? It was rare that he didn't want to provoke him today, but he was not used to it.

“What do you need me to explain?” Zach sipped the “wine” and collected himself.

Don't forget, our vampire occasionally felt sentimental. At this time, the person who could help him was Benjamin. But now Benjamin was in the Northern District.

“About the demon hunters, what kind of people they are. Did they ignore the law like the hunters, or did they all just dress like the clergy of the church? And what do they rely on for hunting demons, whether witchcraft like Spell, or like summoning Papa Midnight, how big of a trouble can they cause? And…”

“Enough, James.” Zach listened to a series of questions, tapping his fingers on the table, “You have met Crowlie, you should ask her more appropriately.”

“I don't want to ask her anything.” James' face darkened for a moment.

In the brief contact with Crowlie, the most unacceptable was not the powerlessness of being a human being. When he first met Grande, James also felt powerless, but Grande didn't play a trick on him when he had no power to fight. But Crowlie was much worse, for example, deceiving him that she would pull out his soul and educate his soul directly.

Zach grinned and shook his head. God knows what Crowlie did to James, “Why are you interested in him?” Zach asked.

James was silent for a while, “Crowlie said I should remind you. Although I don't know why, I can only think that he is also interested in vampires just like ordinary hunters.”

Zach smiled. “Did you come here because of Crowlie?” Zach's gaze once again drifted away, “And it took you a day to show up.”

James glanced at Zach, and he couldn't hear the meaning of this sentence other than mocking at him, “I am a policeman, I am not your errand boy, I also have my own business to do.”

James did not lie. After Crowlie disappeared yesterday, the first person he needed to face was Coulson. Although the suspect was now gone forever, he still had to pretend to investigate the case with Coulson. While pretending it absent-mindedly, he also had to think about what Crowlie's words mean. In addition, he also needed to carefully investigate his own 'private affairs'—whether there has been any clergy entering and leaving Barton recently.

After one night, he made a decision. In order not to make the same mistake that he had made during Revenge's incident, he came personally. Of course, to better understand Crowlie's role, he went to another church outside St Mary's Church in the Northern District to worship in the morning. The content was the “Ten Commandments”. James couldn't tell Crowlie's purpose. So his vigilance against this demon was even heavier.

Zach accepted this statement because he was not in a good mood, “I have nothing to tell you. You can answer these things by yourself, and you don't need me to remind you.” Zach thought for a while, “Why don't you talk about your opinions.”

The reason Zach would propose this was that he already had a suspect in his heart, and he didn't want to preconceivedly influence James' judgment. After all, the example of what happened in Daniel's case just happened not long ago. If the relationship between James Rance and the Grande family broke down again, Zach had no good way to mend it.

James looked at Zach and couldn't tell how he felt now.

“Crowlie has controlled the church.” James looked away from Zach's face and began to talk about his own views, “So it is unlikely that it is a pastor, it is very likely that he came to Barton from other places. I have checked, there is no such person. This is the only thing I know.”

Zach didn't have any expressions, “Did you not see his face?”

James was a little embarrassed. He saw the other person from an angle that rarely appeared in his life. If there was a photo focusing on the person's chin, he could try to identify the person, “I didn't see it clearly.”

Zach looked at James' expression, and realized that it meant that Crowlie, who had searched the soul of James also couldn't see anything, “When did it happen.” Zach continued to ask.

James told the vampire that it was during lunchtime. Zach calculated the time in his heart; from the end of Mrs. Quinn's funeral to the southeast of the Northern District, although it was very short, it was not impossible to complete.

Zach stood up, said to James, “wait a moment,” and went to find Louise. He wondered if Father Constantine often stayed in church these days. This should be something that Louise, who had a good relationship with the nuns, should know.

“Father?” Louise was playing with the potted plants next to her desk in a bored manner, “He never left the church.”

Louise seemed to have been waiting for Zach to ask questions, and the answer was extremely smooth. Zach smiled and asked two pastors, which also got the answer quickly. As for the nun, Zach skipped it, but with Louise's ability, the information would probably be more detailed.

Zach wanted to say thank you, but it was stopped by the blinking eyes of Louise.

Back in the office, Zach's mood got better a lot, partly because the suspicions about Father Constantine and the Church of God the Son could be removed, and partly because he saw Louise's efforts. This woman, who had reserved the possibility of becoming a vampire, was helping Grande in her own way.

Zach smiled and looked at James, “You missed a place, the Church of God the Son that is in the west of us. Crowlie didn't control it.”

James frowned and looked at Zach. “Isn't that church under your protection?”

“What do you think we are, voyeurs who monitor other people's lives every day?” Zach curled his lips. “The reason I remind you is that you already have a guess that the other party is from outside. I just tell you that if that pastor needs a safe place, the Church of God the Son is the only safe place he can go to.”

James raised his eyebrows, the reason was obviously that Crowlie wouldn't touch this church because of the Grande family. And now the church was closing, if someone hid in it, no one would be able to discover it.

“We only need to wait for one day.” Zach shook his glass. Tomorrow was the day when someone from the church would come to repair the local church. The vampire didn't think that Crowlie gave up this opportunity to test the Grande family.

Similarly, Zach was not going to give up this opportunity. He wanted to convey the news that the funeral in Barton Prison was obtained by the Grande Funeral Home.
