Chapter 16 The enemy has arrived on the battlefield
Although the investigation of the case has just begun, from Feng Bujue's perspective, he has already surmised the general plot of the "John Herbert Murder Case".
The dead man was most likely a killer hired by Sam; the two made an appointment and cooperated with each other to carry out the assassination.
Last night (because it was past midnight, the crime should be counted as yesterday) at eleven o'clock sharp, Sam made a call to the landline at the scene of the crime as planned, and his purpose was to call the phone at a specific time.
time, leading John to a specific place for the killer to sneak attack.
However, what surprised Sam was... John, who was suddenly attacked from behind, actually killed the killer during the struggle. In this way... the identities of the "dead man" and the "murderer" were revealed.
exchange.
At this point, Sam had no choice but to resort to tricks and rush to the scene of the crime on the grounds that "there was something fishy about what he heard on the phone."
Originally... if you want to play an innocent person, you have to react as an innocent person should; if he doesn't do it, it will look abnormal.
Furthermore, just based on the sound coming from the phone, Sam couldn't tell what happened on the other end of the phone. In the final analysis... he just heard the low moans of two men gasping for breath and fighting each other. Who knows?
What is happening behind the movement...
Therefore, Sam had to come. He had to at least come to see what the situation was before he could respond appropriately.
When Sam saw the killer's body, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If this man is captured alive, or is still alive, then Sam's crime of "paying a murderer to kill" will definitely be exposed.
Fortunately... now there is no evidence of his death.
…………
As of 2:30 in the morning, the on-site investigation work was still proceeding in an orderly manner, and the crowd of onlookers outside the manor began to gradually disperse.
Most people watching the excitement are like this... Although there is no need to buy tickets, it is boring to stand for a long time. Everyone gathers together to chew the roots of their tongues for a while, and then they have to do whatever they have to do next.
However, at this point in time, another unusual thing happened...
"Chief, I have someone here who wants to see you." This was conveyed through the intercom by a police officer guarding the door of the manor.
"Who is it?" Daost, who was busy directing at the scene, heard this and immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and responded in an impatient tone.
"He said his name is Zuo Yan, and he also said he has important information about this case and must tell you in person," the police officer replied.
"Huh?" Daost thought for a few seconds, "Okay... find someone to bring him in, and go directly to the reception room on the second floor to wait for me."
The above conversation did not happen in front of Feng Bujue, so he was unable to interfere.
So, ten minutes later, in the reception room on the second floor, Brother Jue and Zuo Yan... met again by chance.
This room, which is not too far away from the crime scene, has been temporarily used by the police as a room to collect testimonies. More than ten people (mostly staff), including John, Sam and Feng Bujue, are all there.
Police officers will be interviewed here, and their first-hand testimonies will also be recorded here.
"Eh? Such a coincidence." The moment he saw Zuo Yan, Brother Jue was quite surprised, but he didn't show his surprise at all. On the contrary... only half a second later, he acted calmly.
This is the current reaction.
"Uh..." Zuo Yan heard this, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Brother Jue?" He seemed to have just remembered the other person's name, "Why are you here too?"
In fact, Zuo Yan did not spend time thinking about the question "What is the name of the person in front of me and how should I call him?", but he was thinking about "What kind of response should I use when he greets me like this?"
It’s more appropriate”.
Feng Bujue saw through this in an instant and started a series of reasoning.
"Zuo Yan's reaction is not slow and his acting skills are not bad. His performance at this moment is enough to deceive the eyes of ordinary people.
"But... this is by no means the level of his 'temporary decision and immediate implementation'. Obviously... this reaction is one of his established plans.
"His 'thinking time' also proves this point. With his ability, that one second of 'hesitation' is not enough for him to complete a process of 'from zero to one' and 'making something out of nothing', but it is
Enough for him to make a 'choice'; he... or rather... he and Vidocq have undoubtedly known about 'I am here' for a long time, and have also imagined several scenarios when they meet me, and have some thoughts about my possible
Each 'way of saying hello' has a corresponding 'reaction' one by one, and what I see now... is one of them.
"Then...if nothing else happens..."
Thinking of this, Feng Bujue began to quietly search every corner and shadow of the room with his peripheral vision.
"That Vidocq guy... has 100% sneaked into this house, maybe he has been in and out several times...
"This time, I no longer have the same advantage as in the bar, because he has become wary of me... Until now, the fact that I was completely unaware of his presence is a good proof.
"Furthermore, since Zuo Yan has now appeared in the 'open place', it means that Vidocq's work in the 'dark place' has basically been completed. He must have seen the crime scene and made a similar decision to me.
, and even further reasoning...
"And the remaining part... is Zuo Yan's job, talking to the people involved in the case, collecting testimonies and evidence, so as to substantiate Vidocq's reasoning, and then bring the murderer to justice.
"These things... won't take long at all...
"Chapter Thirty-three is only halfway through now. It's not feasible for you to solve the case so quickly..."
I thought a lot in my mind, but in reality time is only a blink.
The next second, Feng Bujue continued Zuo Yan's question: "Ah... it's a long story..."
Then, he used very concise language to explain the reason for his appearance here. Of course...it was based on the beginning and logic of "encountering Sam at the bar"; for this set of rhetoric, standing on the left
From the perspective of Yan and Vidocq, there is indeed no flaw.
After the two chatted for a few minutes, Daost arrived.
When Mr. Sheriff walked up to Zuo Yan, he first looked at him from head to toe, and then he naturally felt a little disgusted because "this guy seems to know Feng."
"Hey, young man, I heard that you have 'important information about this case'?" Daost said in a very rude tone, "You also have to 'tell the police chief in person'?"
"Um... who are you?" Zuo Yan actually knew from Vidoc that this man was the police chief, but he still had to pretend not to know.
"I am the Sheriff." Daost said coldly, "Tell me, what do you want to tell me?" He paused and added, "I can state in advance... If you are doing this as a prank, or for the sake of advancement,
If you look at the crime scene and talk nonsense, the police have the right to pursue your legal responsibility..."
He didn't finish what he said, because when he said this, Zuo Yan seemed to completely ignore him, took out a mobile phone from his pocket, and dialed a number.
