Although the investigation of the case has just started, from Feng Bujue's perspective, he has already guessed the general plot of the "John Herbert Murder Incident".
The dead man was, out of ten, a killer hired by Sam; the two made an appointment and cooperated with each other to carry out the assassination.
Last night (because it was past midnight, the incident should be counted as yesterday), Sam made a call to the landline at the scene of the crime as planned at eleven o'clock, and his purpose was to make a call at a specific location. Time, lead John to a specific place for the killer to attack.
However, to Sam's surprise...John, who was suddenly attacked from behind, turned around and killed the killer while struggling. In this way...the identities of "dead" and "murderer" were exchanged .
At this point, Sam could only do what he could, and rushed to the scene of the crime on the grounds that he heard something wrong on the phone.
Originally... If you want to play an innocent person, you have to react as an innocent person should; if he doesn't come, it will look abnormal.
What's more, just based on the voice on the phone, Sam still can't judge what happened on the other end of the phone. After all... he only heard the low moans of two men fighting each other while panting heavily, and the ghost would know the movement What's going on behind the scenes...
Therefore, Sam had to come, he had to at least see how the situation was before he could make a proper response.
And when Sam saw the killer's body, he was relieved.
If this man is captured alive, or still alive, then Sam's crime of "buying murder" will definitely be exposed.
Fortunately... now it is dead without evidence.
...
By 2:30 in the morning, the on-site survey work was still proceeding in an orderly manner, and the onlookers outside the manor began to gradually disperse.
Most of the spectators are like this... Although you don’t need to buy a ticket, it’s boring to stand for a long time. Everyone gathers together to chew their tongues for a while, and then they still have to do what they want.
However, at this point in time, another unusual thing happened...
"Sheriff, I have someone here who wants to see you." These words were conveyed by a police officer guarding the gate of the manor through the intercom.
"Who is it?" Daust, who was busy directing at the scene, heard this, immediately picked up the walkie-talkie, and responded in an impatient tone.
"He said his name is Zuo Yan, and he also said that he has important information about this case and must tell you face to face." The policeman replied.
"Huh?" Daust thought for a few seconds, "Okay... find someone to bring him in, and go directly to the reception room on the second floor to wait for me."
The above conversation did not happen in front of Feng Bujue, so he was powerless to interfere.
So, ten minutes later, in the reception room on the second floor, Brother Jue and Zuo Yan... had another "encounter".
This room not too far from the scene of the crime has been temporarily used by the police as a room to collect testimony. More than a dozen people (mostly staff members), including John, Sam and Feng Bujue, are in the room. This is where police officers are questioned, and their first-hand testimony will also be recorded here.
"Eh? What a coincidence." The moment he saw Zuo Yan, Brother Jue was still quite surprised, but he didn't show this surprise at all. On the contrary... just half a second later, he acted nonchalantly. this reaction.
"Uh..." Zuo Yan hesitated for a moment after hearing the words, and continued, "Brother Jue?" He seemed to have just remembered the other party's name, "Why are you here?"
In fact, Zuo Yan didn't spend time thinking about "what's the name of this person in front of me, and how should I address him?", but was thinking about "he greets me like this, which solution should I use?" relatively appropriate."
Feng Bujue saw through this point in an instant, and started a series of reasoning from it—
"Zuo Yan's reaction is not slow, and his acting skills are not bad, his performance at the moment is enough to deceive the eyes of ordinary people.
"But...it's by no means the level of his 'temporary decision, immediate implementation' can show, obviously...this kind of response is one of his established plans.
"His 'thinking time' also proves this point. With his ability, that second of 'hesitation' is not enough for him to complete a process of 'from zero to one' and 'creating something out of nothing', but It is enough for him to make a 'choice'; he...or... He and Vidok, no doubt already knew about 'I am here', and also envisioned several scenarios when meeting me, and made possible choices for me. For each 'way of greeting', there is a corresponding 'response' formulated one by one, and what I see now... is one of them.
"Then...if nothing happens..."
Thinking of this, Feng Bujue began to quietly search every corner and shadow of the room with his peripheral vision.
"That guy Vidok... 100% has sneaked into this house, maybe he has been in and out several times...
"This time, I didn't have that advantage in the bar anymore, because he was wary of me... the fact that I was completely unaware of his presence until now is a good proof.
"Furthermore, since Zuo Yan has appeared in the 'bright place' now, it means that Vidok's work in the 'dark place' has basically been completed. He must have seen the scene of the crime and made a similar decision to me. , and an even further reasoning...
"And the rest... is Zuo Yan's job, talking with the people involved, collecting testimonies and evidence, so as to confirm Vidok's reasoning, and then bring the murderer to justice.
"These things... don't take too long at all...
"Chapter Thirty-Three is only halfway through, so it's impossible for you to solve the case so quickly..."
I have thought a lot in my heart, but the time in reality is only a moment.
In the next second, Feng Bujue continued Zuo Yan's question and said, "Ah... it's a long story..."
Afterwards, he explained the reason why he appeared here in very concise language, of course... it was based on the beginning and logic of "meeting Sam in a bar"; From the perspective of Vidok, there is indeed no flaw.
After the two chatted for a few minutes, Daust came.
When Mr. Sheriff walked to Zuo Yan's side, he first sized him up from head to toe, and then he took it for granted that "this kid and the guy whose surname Feng knew each other" felt disgusted.
"Hey, young man, I heard that you have 'important information about this case'?" Daust said in a very blunt tone as soon as he opened his mouth, "must you 'tell the sheriff personally'?"
"Well... you are?" Zuo Yan actually knew from Vidok that this person was the police chief, but he still had to pretend not to know.
"I'm the sheriff." Daust said coldly, "Tell me, what do you want to tell me?" "The police have the right to pursue your legal responsibility..."
He didn't finish his sentence, because when he said this, Zuo Yan completely ignored him, took out a mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed a number.
