Even though the investigation of the case had only just begun, from Feng bujue’s perspective, he had already deduced the general plot of this ‘John Herbert murder’.
The dead man was most likely an assassin hired by Sam. The two agreed on a time and cooperated with each other to carry out the assassination.
Last night (because it was already past midnight, the incident should be counted as yesterday) at 11 O’ clock sharp, Sam called the landline at the scene of the crime as planned. His purpose was to lead John to a specific place at a specific time so that the killer could launch a sneak attack.
However, to Sam’s surprise … John, who had been suddenly attacked from behind, actually managed to kill the killer while struggling. In this way … The identity of the “dead” and the “murderer” had been swapped.
Since things had come to this, Sam could only play along and rush to the scene of the crime with the excuse of “hearing something wrong on the phone.”
In fact … If he wanted to play the role of an innocent person, he had to react like an innocent person. If he didn’t come, it would seem strange.
Moreover, Sam couldn’t tell what was happening on the other end of the phone just by the sound. In the end … He only heard the low moans of the two men as they panted and fought. Who knew what was going on behind the noise …
Therefore, Sam had to come. He had to at least come and see how the situation was before he could make an appropriate response.
When Sam saw the body of the killer, he was relieved.
if this man was captured alive, sam’s crime of “hiring a killer” would definitely be exposed.
fortunately … the dead could not testify.
…………
at 2:30 a. m., the investigation of the scene was still in order, and the onlookers outside the manor began to disperse.
most of the onlookers were like this … although they didn’t need to buy tickets, it was boring to stand for a long time. everyone gathered together to gossip for a while and then went back to their own business.
however, at this time, another unusual thing happened …
“chief, i have someone here who wants to see you.” these words were conveyed through the walkie-talkie by a police officer standing guard outside the manor.
“Who is it?” When dawst, who was busy giving orders, heard this, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and responded in an impatient tone.
“He said that his name is Zuo Yan. He also said that he has important information regarding the case and that he had to tell you in person.” The police officer replied.
“Ha?” Daxter pondered for a few seconds.”Alright … Find someone to bring him in and wait for me in the guest room on the second floor.”
This conversation did not happen in front of Feng bujue, so he had no power to interfere.
Therefore, ten minutes later, in the guest room on the second floor, brother Jue and Zuo Yan …”Ran into each other” again.
The room that was not too far away from the crime scene had been temporarily used by the police as a temporary home to collect testimonies. There were more than ten people, including John, Sam, and Feng bujue (most of them were staff members), and they were all being questioned by the police officers. Their first-hand testimonies would also be recorded there.
“Eh? What a coincidence. ” When brother Jue saw Zuo Yan, he was quite surprised, but he did not show it. On the contrary … Half a second later, he reacted as if nothing had happened.
“Er …” Zuo Yan hesitated for a moment before he said,”brother Jue?” He seemed to have just remembered her name.”Why are you here?”
Actually, Zuo Yan wasn’t spending time thinking about “what’s the name of this person in front of me, or how should I address him”. Instead, he was thinking about “what’s the most appropriate way to respond to him greeting me like this”.
Feng bujue instantly saw through that and came up with a series of deductions.
“Zuo Yan’s reaction isn’t slow, and his acting skills aren’t bad either. His current performance is enough to fool the eyes of most people.
“But this … Is definitely not something that can be done at the last minute. It’s obvious … This is one of his plans.
“His ‘thinking time’ also proves this point. With his ability, that one second of ‘hesitation’ is not enough for him to complete the process of ‘going from zero to one’ and ‘creating something out of nothing’, but it is enough for him to make a ‘choice’. He … Or should I say … He and Victor had undoubtedly known that ‘I was here’ for a long time. They had also anticipated several scenarios when they met me and had formulated a corresponding ‘reaction’ to every ‘greeting’ I could make. And what I was seeing now … Was one of them.
“Then … If nothing unexpected happens …”
With that in mind, Feng bujue started to use his peripheral vision to search every corner and shadow in the room.
That fellow, victork … He’s definitely already infiltrated this house. He might have entered and exited several times …
“This time, I no longer have the advantage I had in the bar, because he’s already on guard against me … Until now, I haven’t noticed his existence at all, which is a very good proof.
“Moreover, since the left word has appeared in the ‘light’, it means that Victor’s work in the ‘dark’ is basically complete. He must’ve seen the crime scene and made a similar or even more advanced deduction like me …
“The rest … Is Zuo Yan’s job, which is to talk to the people involved in the case, collect testimony, and evidence to confirm victork’s deduction and then bring the murderer to justice.
“These things … Won’t take too long …
“We’re only halfway through, it won’t do to let you solve the case so quickly …”
He pondered a lot in his heart, but in reality, only an instant had passed.
The next second, Feng bujue continued Zuo Yan’s question.””Ah … It’s a long story …”
After that, he explained the reason why he was there in very simple words. Of course, it was based on the beginning and logic of “I met Sam at the bar.” From zuoyan’s and victork’s point of view, they couldn’t find any flaws in this argument.
After the two of them chatted for a few minutes, dawist arrived.
When the sheriff walked to Zuo Yan’s side, he first sized him up from head to toe. Then, he thought that this kid seemed to know Feng, and naturally felt a little disgusted.
“Hey, young man, I heard that you have ‘important information about the case’?” The moment Daxter opened his mouth, his tone was very impolite.”And you have to’ tell the sheriff himself ‘?”
“Um … And you are?” Zuo Yan had already found out from victork that this man was the sheriff, but he still had to pretend that he didn’t know.
“I’m the sergeant. ” “Tell me, what do you want to tell me?” Daxter asked coldly. He paused and added,”let me make this clear … If this is a prank, or ‘you’re spouting nonsense to take a look at the crime scene’, the police have the right to pursue your legal responsibility …”
He didn’t finish his sentence because Zuo Yan had completely ignored him. He took out a phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
