When Sergeant Dawster said the phrase "Please feel free to investigate", Feng Bujue got the reminder to complete the task of "Intervene in the investigation of the "John Herbert murder"".
Although I don't know how the system is specifically defined, it is obvious... Brother Jue's unilateral participation in the investigation was not recognized before.
The appearance of Zuo Yan, or the appearance of the two "opponents" Zuo Yan and Vidok, made this detective duel officially begin, and also brought the mission of the script to the next stage.
And what to do in this "next stage"... The system did not give any further hints, and the chain of sub-tasks under the main task ended here.
That is to say, the focus of Feng Bujue's actions has returned to the point of "using thirty-three chapters to complete the script"; in the next fifteen chapters, how to stop Zuo Yan and Vidok from expediting the case Deciphering and declaring the truth has become the main problem facing Brother Jue...
...
In the early morning, at 3:07, in a room on the first floor of Herbert's mansion.
There were only two people sitting in the room.
"Hmm... this wine is not bad." Feng Bujue took a sip of the red liquid in the goblet, and gave a very pertinent evaluation.
At this moment, he was sitting on a sofa chair with his legs crossed, shaking the wine glass in his hand leisurely, and on the coffee table in front of him was a bottle of red wine that had already been opened.
"Oh... that's right, I was going to give this bottle of wine to the Pope this Easter..." In contrast, John Herbert had an expression of "you're fucking kidding me" on his face He is sitting on another sofa chair opposite Jue Ge at the moment, responding to Jue Ge's completely unintentional compliment in a somewhat bitter tone.
"Oh?" Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard the words, "Is that so... Then I have to solemnly thank Mr. Herbert for your hospitality."
"You're welcome..." John said in a deep voice, "It's been a long time since I've entertained guests in my manor. It's rare that Mr. Feng is also a person who understands wine... This bottle of red wine in my collection can be regarded as making the best use of everything."
That's what I said, but in fact, John's heart is bleeding at this moment...
More than ten minutes ago, when Feng Bujue asked John to "get a bottle of red wine to taste" from the wine cellar, John responded with a disdainful smile, and thought to himself: "I thought this kid was some What about a great person, but in the end, he wanted to get money from the rich family, hmph... well, since you haven't seen much in the world, I'll let you pick it."
At that time, John thought that people of Feng Bujue's class were basically on the same level as Daust. With the courage and insight of this kind of people, at most he would cheat him with one or two bottles of red wine worth about 1,000 pounds.
Unexpectedly... After getting permission, Brother Jue went into the wine cellar and walked around, stunned to pick out the most expensive bottle of wine in the entire wine cellar, and it can even be said that it is currently the most expensive bottle in Wales.
This bottle of wine was brewed and bottled by a well-known French chateau exactly ten years ago. That year's climate, soil, grape harvest and other factors that affect the quality of brewing were all perfect, which was once in a century, so many good wines were produced; and this bottle of red wine called "Flower Bud" was even better. Great wine in…
A few years ago, at an auction, John paid hundreds of thousands of pounds for this bottle of "bud". Of course, he didn't intend to drink it himself when he bought it, he bought it for special occasions.
Many people have a misunderstanding about wine, that is, "the longer the age of red wine, the better", but it is not true; the wine that is said to have been stored for a hundred or two hundred years has already gone bad, and it can only be placed as a display when you buy it Look, if you really open it and drink it, even if you can't kill someone... it won't taste very good.
The best drinking period of bottled red wine is usually no more than fifteen years, and most of them are in the range of four to ten years. This year is just the best year to drink this bottle of "bud". It is for this reason that John intends to give this wine as a gift to the Pope on Easter this year.
However, what he didn't expect was... Tonight, his "investment" of hundreds of thousands of pounds was picked up for nothing by Feng Bujue, a guy of unknown origin. The promise of "pick" was given by John himself, and he is not easy to get angry.
"Hehe... just a joke..." Feng Bujue, shaking his wine glass, gradually lost his smile, and continued, "I know you feel bad, but I would feel bad too."
His words tore off the last layer of camouflage on John's face, and made the master reveal a rather gloomy expression.
"Before I entered the wine cellar, you felt that I had neither the knowledge to find the bottle of wine nor the courage to take it out." Feng Bujue continued, "And when I took out the wine, I didn't act as if nothing had happened. When you flip it open, you're smothering yourself with bad luck and telling yourself... 'This kid is just lucky, he doesn't really know the value of this bottle'."
At this point, Jue Ge paused: "Heh... where in this world are there so many coincidences and luck? Even if there are... I'm afraid it doesn't belong to me." He proudly picked up his glass and took another sip, "Herbert Sir, I can tell you clearly... I went into your wine cellar today, and I was looking for the most expensive bottle. The moment you promised me 'you can choose whatever you want', you have put hundreds of thousands of... um... If I'm not wrong, it's probably at this price... I've already given away hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of red wine.
"Of course, I didn't do this purely to defraud your sky-high bottle of red wine. I just wanted to use this thing... this thing that can be measured by the values you are familiar with, to convey some information to you.
"—What you think I can't do or dare not do, I actually have no pressure to do it; ten minutes ago, your views, prejudices, judgments, etc. on me are the same as what I just said to you Like 'thanks', 'compliments'... worthless."
"It seems... I'm paying for my 'contempt' towards you." John glared at Brother Jue and read every word.
"Hmph..." Feng Bujue snorted coldly, and replied, "You should be glad that I gave you the opportunity to 'pay tuition'..." He shrugged and said eloquently, "Every one of us is You learn and grow by making mistakes, and these 'mistakes' are bound to come with a certain price... This time, the price you pay is money, which is a small amount of money for you. But next time, if you make a mistake again , what has to be paid... may be more than money."
"What you said..." John has regained his composure, he even listened to what Feng Bujue said very seriously, "I will remember it well..."
At this point in the conversation between the two, there was a knock on the door, and no one outside had to speak, Brother Jue already knew who it was.
