The elevator door closed, but Feng bujue’s eyes were still on the young man and the cat.
For some reason, when brother Jue saw the man and the cat, he felt a strange sense of familiarity and even a sense of familiarity.
Brother Jue himself was very confused about this, so he immediately searched through his memories. However … He could not find any memories of him interacting with this person or this cat.
“Sir, which floor are you going to?” Several seconds later, the young man’s voice interrupted Feng bujue’s thoughts and pulled him back to his senses.
“Hmm …” Feng bujue was silent for a moment before he replied in Chinese. (Before this, the young man had been speaking in English, but in Thriller Paradise, the system would retain the pronunciation of the original language and translate it for the players to understand the various languages through mental translation),”seventh floor.” As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed the button for the seventh floor.
“What a coincidence, I also live on the seventh floor.” Hearing this, the young man also smiled and replied. Moreover, he also changed to speaking Chinese.
At this point, the two of them had tacitly stated their nationality; It was easy for the two sides to start a conversation in this kind of situation where they met their fellow townsmen in a foreign land.
“Hehe … That’s fate.” Feng bujue quickly put on his ‘business smile’ and took the initiative to get closer to the man.”By the way, my name is Feng bujue.” He introduced himself and extended his hand to her.
“Hello, I’m Zuo Yan.” Zuo Yan also politely shook hands with her in response.
“Zuo Yan?” When Feng bujue heard that, he quickly repeated the name in a questioning tone, and the expression on his face started to change.
In that instant, brother Jue actually knew who the other party was, but … He still found it hard to believe.
“Yes, that’s right,” Zuo Yan asked doubtfully,”what’s so strange about it?”
“Pardon me for asking …” Feng bujue narrowed his eyes to glance at the cat that had poked its head out of the bag.”Are you a student from Imperial peak university?”
“Eh?” This time, Zuo Yan’s expression changed.
He paused and thought for two seconds before saying,””That’s right, I’m a student at Imperial peak. Hmm…May I ask how you know?”
Even though Zuo Yan was a little surprised that a stranger who he had met for less than two minutes would reveal his school, he had nothing to hide.
“I …” Brother Jue only used half a second to think of what he was going to say next.”I think … I’ve heard of you.” As he tried to find a reasonable explanation for his question, he began to probe further.”Have you assisted the police in solving a few cases?”
“Er …” Zuo Yan glanced at the cat in his bag as he replied.”Well … There were a few times, but I just happened to be at the scene of the crime. I didn ‘t’ assist ‘you in any way.”
Ding!
As they conversed, the elevator had just reached the seventh floor.
Feng bujue turned around naturally and gestured for the man to leave.
Seeing this, Zuo Yan nodded slightly at him and took the lead to walk out.
Feng bujue followed him out of the elevator and continued the earlier topic.””Then that’s right … I think I heard a police friend mention you, but I don’t remember where or who told me.”
His words were watertight …
He did not reveal any accurate information, but at first glance, there were no flaws.
This was because when people were chatting, they would only remember the ‘things’ they heard, but not necessarily remember who was talking about it or where they heard it from.
“Mr Feng …” Zuo Yan seemed to have thought of something and wanted to reply.
“If you don’t mind, you can call me brother Jue.” Feng bujue interrupted him and said in a friendly tone.
“Oh … Brother Jue.” Zuo Yan continued,”it sounds like … You have quite a few police friends?”
Zuo Yan’s reaction was quick as well. The only useful information in brother Jue’s sentence was the word ‘police friend’, and Zuo Yan caught that point instantly and came up with a reasonable deduction based on the man’s context and logic.
To Zuo Yan’s question, Feng bujue could only answer ‘yes’ because only people who’ had many police friends ‘would not be able to remember which police friend had told them about this. If a person only had one police friend, he would never say something like “I heard it from a police friend, but I don’t remember who it was.”
“Yup,” One second later, Feng bujue used a very calm tone to reply,”to be honest, I’m also a detective, and I have quite a few police friends. Speaking of which … I’ve seen the famous officer Qiao Chi in Moon City a few times, but I’m not too familiar with him. ”
Obviously, when brother Jue said the first sentence, he had already thought of the next few steps. He wanted to make use of Zuo Yan’s question to make his own words more credible.
“Brother Jue …” Zuo Yan continued,”why did you say that you’re a detective too ‘?”
“Ha … Because you’re a detective too, aren’t you?” Feng bujue said.
“No, no…” Zuo Yan was still very humble.”I’m at most the head of a University’s Detective Club. Assisting the police and such were really just coincidences at the scene …”
“That’s enough, Zuo Yan. ” Feng bujue patted him on the shoulder.”You don’t have to explain all this to me …” He laughed mockingly.”Being able to appear at different crime scenes frequently is also a trait unique to a detective, isn’t it?”
They did not stop walking when they were talking. As they talked, brother Jue arrived at the door to his room.
“Hey, I’m here.” Feng bujue said and stopped.”Which room are you staying in?”
“My room should be the one at the end of the corridor, 0716.” Zuo Yan replied as he lowered his head to look at the key card and the small envelope with the floor plan.
“Oh.” Brother Jue continued in a very casual tone,”I’ll probably be on the island for a few days. Let’s go and have some fun when we have the chance.”
“Um … Sure.” Zuo Yan was a slow and unhurried person, but he still spoke in a very appropriate manner.”Then … See you later?”
“I’ll see you later. ” When Feng bujue bade farewell to the man, he used the key card to open the door to his apartment 0707.
“Oh, that’s right!” Just as Zuo Yan was about to leave, brother Jue seemed to have remembered something and called out to him.
“Is there anything else?” Zuo Yan turned around and said.
“Haha …” Feng bujue laughed.”I almost forgot to ask …” His eyes moved slightly.”The little guy in your bag … What’s his name?”
When Zuo Yan heard this, he lowered his head and glanced at the kitten that was peeking its head out of the sports bag. He shrugged and replied, “He’s called vidok,”
“Ah! That’s the name of the great detective, right?” Feng bujue’s smile was still on his face. He was asking the obvious.
“Yes,” Zuo Yan nodded and added,”Francois jugen victork.”
