"Hello, um... yes, I'm Zuo Yan... no... Avelina and I are not in the relationship you imagined... that... anyway... do you know everything? Well... um... he was standing in front of me ...Okay." After talking briefly to the person on the other end of the phone, Zuo Yan raised his head, looked at Sergeant Daust, and said, "Captain, please answer the phone."
"Huh?" Daust was stunned instinctively when he heard it, and thought in his heart, "This kid deserves a beating, right? Obviously you came to the door by yourself and said that you would provide clues, but you suddenly called me in the middle of what you said just now." Picked up the phone, and now you want me to answer it?"
"What call? Whose call? What are you doing?" Daust raised his voice and asked three times.
It's not so much a question as it is three reprimands.
Zuo Yan replied helplessly, "Uh... the Minister of the Interior would like to say a few words to you."
"Who?" Daust's eyes widened, and he turned his head to bring his ears closer to the other person. Obviously... he suspected that he had heard it wrong.
"Minister of the Interior..." Zuo Yan repeated the four words again, but when he said it the second time, his voice became lower and lower, and he could hardly hear the last syllable.
"Hehe..." Daust laughed back angrily, "Why don't you say it was the Prince of Wales calling?" He said, snatching the phone from Zuo Yan, and shouting at the screen, "Hey You bastard, do you know what it's like to play a prank on the police?"
After saying this, Daust took the phone and listened for about three seconds, and then the smile on his face froze.
Soon, Daust turned around and said in a trembling voice, "s... ss... se... sir! I'm sorry, I didn't recognize it was you!" He put his hand on his chin, Only then slowly resumed the normal rhythm of speaking, "Yes... I'm Daust... I'm really flattered that you can remember my name! Yes, yes... I still remember that dinner party, you greeted me..."
What Daust said afterwards, only he and the Minister of the Interior knew, because while he was talking, he had left the room with his mobile phone and went to a deserted place alone.
About seven minutes later, Daust returned to the reception room, looked at Zuo Yan with very complicated eyes, and politely handed the phone back.
"So...you are also a detective." Daust's tone was still not very friendly when he spoke to Zuo Yan, but compared to his attitude seven minutes ago...it was much better.
Zuo Yan thought for a few seconds, then nodded: "It's sort of..."
In fact, deep down in his heart, he wanted to deny it...
Since he stayed with a detective of Vidok's level all day long, Zuo Yan always thought that he was not qualified to call himself a "detective". Therefore, under normal circumstances, whenever someone asked him that, he would deny his identity. And emphasized that he is just a minister of the reasoning department of a university.
However, this time the situation is special; in order to stay at the scene and intervene in the investigation, Zuo Yan did not hesitate to "use his relationship".
"What's 'what'? Zuo Yan is a very good detective." The next second, Feng Bujue looked proud and said to Daust, "Mr. Sheriff, we Chinese are generally It is very humble and low-key, and there is no form of pretense, please bear with me."
Although he didn't directly hear the content of the phone call, Jue Ge has basically guessed the ins and outs of the phone call just now based on Zuo Yan and Dost's few words...
According to the setting in the movie, Zuo Yan studied at a fictitious university—"Emperor Peak"; what is the name of this school? Let's put it this way... Probably a university for normal humans that is harder to get into than Hogwarts.
Students who want to enter Emperor Peak for further studies generally have to meet three conditions: ability, wealth, and status. Among them, the first two... are pretty easy to handle, as long as they can pass the perverted entrance test made by Difeng, and their family happens to have tens of millions of dollars, they can meet the requirements; but the "identity" thing... how to say Well... the crown prince is the best, the specific country doesn't matter; if it's not the royal family... next, the nobles are fine... Anyway, it's fine if you can get involved with the nobles within three generations; After all, some countries have a short history and no nobles at all... But these children of officials and businessmen must pay more sponsorship fees. Eighteen million.
All in all... this is a school that can never exist in reality. A creature like Long Aotian is like a crucian carp crossing the river in Difeng, which is not a problem; Yes, it's just a second-generation student who is also a rich man. This kind of person... can't find a girlfriend in Difeng.
So, back to Zuo Yan... As the protagonist, he is naturally different.
Zuo Yan's parents are both experts in "archaeology", drifting around the world all year round, basically never seeing anyone; Zuo Yan has called his parents "male and female thieves" since he was sensible, the reason... you can think for yourself...
Although his family is rich, but he really can't be associated with any dignitaries in blood. It stands to reason that he should have no relationship with a school like Difeng.
Of course, there is no coincidence without a book. In the year when Zuo Yan was admitted to university, Difeng tried a "reform". When enrolling students, the school relaxed the requirement of "identity" for a while, so Zuo Yan, a "commoner", took advantage of the "policy" "The Dongfeng, mixed in...
Of course, "common people" is just a disparaging name for Zuo Yan by some people in the school. From outsiders' eyes, he must be classified as Long Aotian...
To sum up, it seems normal and common for Zuo Yan to be able to talk directly to a foreign minister of the interior.
To put it bluntly... on the way here, he called a classmate and asked him for help; then that classmate called his home and told him about the situation, and it turned out... less than half When I was young, the family of that classmate settled the matter.
From Feng Bujue's point of view, even if Zuo Yan didn't hand over the phone to Daust in front of him, it's not difficult to figure out how Zuo Yan intervened in the case... After all, Brother Jue already has the background information of the other party .
Right now, since Brother Jue has heard key words such as "Avelina", he naturally knows that Zuo Yan asked everyone.
"Okay~ okay~ two great detectives..." At this moment, in addition to helplessness, Daust's expression and tone were slightly happy; The feeling of being broken and broken was broken, "In order not to suffocate at work, not to eat shit physically... Next... I will retreat to the second line and be a spectator." He paused, "You two Well... you can do whatever you want, please feel free to investigate, and when you finish the investigation, please show me the way."
As he spoke, he took out a small metal bottle from the inner pocket of his jacket; the cap of the bottle was attached to the mouth of the bottle, and it could be opened with a push. An unknown liquid was poured into his mouth.
"Uh... is that wine?" Zuo Yan had already smelled the wine, so he asked knowingly.
"No, it's my blood. My ex-wife uses this to make afternoon tea every day..." After picking up the pick, Dawster's enigmatic sense of humor suddenly came online, and he seemed to be using this self-deprecating Tucao to respond to Jue Ge's previous comments about his life situation, "...do you want a bite?"
"He's not yet old enough." Before Zuo Yan could reply, Feng Bujue responded first, and took the small bottle of wine from the sheriff's hand, "And you... my Mr. Sheriff, you What we need now is not this kind of cheap stuff..." After that, he lifted his neck and drank the remaining bit of bad wine in the small bottle, "I think we can check John's wine cellar first … and see what clues are in there."
