“Wow … This … Is quite surprising.” After a few seconds, Sam said with a slightly exaggerated expression,”I don’t know any detective.”
“That’s normal. Private detectives are an unpopular profession these days.” Feng bujue said,”after all, the technology of criminal investigation is very advanced now, and the police force of most countries are very good.” “Speaking of the police … Where was I …” He paused and then said,”Oh … Right, in addition to what I just said, there are many signs that prove that the security guard is on night duty for a long time.” If you’re as used to observing as I am, you’ll find that the thermos bottle next to his hand, his collar, his jaw … All point to the same conclusion. Of course, the most obvious evidence is his uniform, which was just taken out of the only dry cleaner on the island this evening …”
“The laundromat tag is still in his shirt pocket,” brother Jue said with a smile.”There’s a small part of it exposed, but he clearly didn’t notice it.”
When Sam heard that, he could not help but swallow. Even though he could not verify whether brother Jue’s deduction was correct, from the confidence in brother Jue’s words, it seemed that the words ‘very outstanding’ were not just for show.
On the other side, brother Jue had already read Sam’s mind, but he still did not want to expose him. He just continued to say as if nothing had happened,””Here’s the question … Why didn’t he notice? Had he forgotten? Or perhaps … He’s a very sloppy person?” Feng bujue answered his own question.”No, he isn ‘t. His age and position clearly show that he isn’ t, but today, he just had to overlook such a small matter. Why? In my opinion, the biggest possibility is … Today, when he came to work and changed his clothes, something happened … Something very urgent and important, so he had no time to care about other trivial things. ”
“You’re saying … He had just changed into his uniform and sat down when the police came?” Sam said, following brother Jue’s train of thought.
“The attendance sheet on the wall behind him records the security guards ‘working hours. If I’m not wrong … The night security guards are on duty from 11:40 to 7:40 the next morning.” Feng bujue continued,”for an old employee like him, he will usually arrive earlier. If I’m not mistaken, he should be here at 11:30 or earlier to take over. Assuming that the incident happened when you made the phone call … Around 11 O’ clock … Then, from John’s psychological struggle to his call to the police chief, and then to the police chief’s arrival, this time is just right. ”
The conversation between the two ended here, and the stone Road that was neither long nor short had also been completed.
When they arrived in front of the Herbert family’s mansion, a man in his 50s with white hair on his temples came up to them.
“Long time no see, Sam.” Judging from the man’s unkind tone, he was probably not from the Herbert family.”You’ve changed so much. I almost couldn’t recognize you.”
“But you still look the same, Mr. Sheriff.” Sam’s reply was also unfriendly.
Just from this encounter, it could be seen that the two of them had not been very happy in the past.
“Humph …” The sergeant snorted and then turned to look at Feng bujue.”Then … This is?”
“This Mr. Feng is my friend.” “It just so happens that …”Sam’s tone changed slightly,”he’s also a detective.” I think he should be able to help with tonight’s matter. ”
“Detective?” The chief raised his eyebrows and gave his brother a sidelong glance, his eyes full of disdain.”Ha … Private detective, huh …” He shrugged.”I don’t think these guys who make a living by tracking and secretly taking photos of extramarital affairs can provide any ‘help’ to us professionals.”
His mockery was rather sharp, and there was an inexplicable sense of superiority and contempt for the person in front of him in his tone.
As for Feng bujue … As someone who’ would make fun of others if they did not offend him ‘, when faced with this kind of provocation that came to him, he was naturally happy to retaliate.
“You’re right, chief …” Brother Jue said without much thought.”Private detectives like us are best at taking photos of extramarital affairs.” His eyes moved slowly, and his expression and tone became more and more despicable.”From the ring mark on your left ring finger and your shabby clothes, I think you must have been in contact with one of my colleagues. Well … Considering your career, the chances of you going to court after the evidence of your infidelity is caught are close to zero, so you can only accept all unreasonable requests from the woman’s lawyer … If nothing goes wrong, the high alimony after the divorce is making your current life miserable. In order to relieve this double pressure, it’s not a bad choice to be a Lackey of some tycoons or to put on the airs of a bottom-level civil servant on a small island. ”
“You … You …” Halfway through the sentence, the chief Officer was already so angry that his face was red. When brother Jue finished, the chief Officer looked like he was going to pull out his gun and hit someone.
His anger … Naturally had a reason. In Feng bujue’s reasoning, those vicious words were like bullets, and every single one of them struck the Sheriff’s fragile self-esteem.
“Don’t make such a scary face, Mr. Chief. ” Two seconds later, Feng bujue spread his hands and laughed.”I’m just joking … Haha … But I believe you already have a certain understanding of my level as a detective and my ‘shocking charisma’ as a person. I believe you won’t hold a grudge against a ‘non-professional’ like me.”
“Er …” The sergeant groaned like a beast. Even though he wanted to lose his temper, since brother Jue was telling the truth, the sergeant could not find any ‘trigger’ other than being embarrassed. Helplessly, he could only suppress his anger and sneer softly.”Hmph … What a self-conceited fellow …”
“Hehe …” Feng bujue chuckled and pretended that he did not hear anything. He turned around and said,”alright, let’s not waste any time. Let’s go in and see what is going on.”
He exchanged a look with Sam and motioned for him to follow them. Then, they walked toward the door of the mansion.
To their surprise, the sheriff took a step forward and said,””Hold on,” He put on a poker face and said coldly,”who said you can go in?”
