When Chief Dauster said, "Please feel free to launch the investigation," Feng Bujue got the prompt to complete the task of "Intervene in the investigation of the "John Herbert Murder Case"".
Although I don't know how the system is specifically defined, it is obvious that... Brother Jue's previous action of unilaterally joining the investigation was not recognized.
The appearance of Zuo Yan, or the appearance of the two "opponents" Zuo Yan and Vidocq, officially launched the detective showdown, and also allowed the script to advance to the next stage.
And what to do in this "next stage"... The system did not give any further prompts, and the sub-task chain under the main task ended here.
In other words, the focus of Feng Bujue's action has returned to the article "Use thirty-three chapters to complete the script"; in the next fifteen chapters, how to stop Zuo Yan and Vidocq from quickly conveying the case
Deciphering and declaring the truth has become the main problem facing Brother Jue...
…………
Early in the 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 pretty good." Feng Bujue took a sip of the red liquid in the goblet and gave a very fair evaluation.
At this time, he was sitting on a sofa chair with his legs crossed, and he was shaking the wine glass in his hand with a leisurely expression. On the coffee table in front of him, there was a bottle of red wine that had been opened.
"Ha... That's right, I originally planned to give this bottle of wine to the Pope this Easter..." In contrast, John Herbert's face was like "Are you kidding me?"
with an expression on his face; he was now sitting on another sofa chair opposite Brother Jue, responding to Brother Jue's completely unintentional compliment with a somewhat bitter tone.
"Oh?" Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows and smiled after hearing this, "That's right... then I have to solemnly thank you, Mr. Herbert, for your hospitality."
"You're welcome..." John said solemnly, "My manor hasn't entertained guests for a long time. It's rare that Mr. Feng is also someone who knows wine... This bottle of red wine I have collected can be considered to its full use."
That's what he said, but in fact, John's heart was bleeding right now...
More than ten minutes ago, when Feng Bujue asked John to "get a bottle of red wine and try it" from the wine cellar, John gave him a disdainful smile and thought to himself: "Who do you think this kid is?"
He's a great person, but he just wants to take advantage of the rich people's families. Hmm... well, since you haven't seen much of the world, I'll let you make your choice."
At that time, John believed that people of Feng Bujue's class were basically on the same level as Dauster. With such a person's courage and knowledge, he would only be able to trick him into having one or two bottles of wine worth around one thousand pounds at most.
Unexpectedly... After Brother Jue got permission, he walked around the wine cellar and picked out the entire wine cellar, which could even be said to be the most expensive bottle of wine in the entire Wales.
This bottle of wine was brewed and bottled by a well-known French winery exactly ten years ago. The climate, soil, grape harvest and other factors that would affect the brewing quality that year were all perfect. It can be called
It’s a rare occurrence in a hundred years, so a lot of good wines have been produced; and this bottle of red wine, called “Flower Bud”, is the best among the best wines…
A few years ago, John spent hundreds of thousands of pounds to buy this bottle of "bud" at an auction. Of course, he didn't intend to drink it himself when he bought it. He only wanted to use it on some special occasions.
Purchased.
Many people have a misunderstanding about wine, that is, "the older the wine, the better", but this is not the case; the wine that is said to have been stored for a hundred or two hundred years has already changed its flavor, and can only be used as a display when bought.
Look, if you really open it and drink it, even if it doesn't kill you...it won't taste that good.
The best drinking period of red wine after bottling is usually no more than fifteen years, mostly in the range of four to ten years, and this year happens to be the best year to drink this bottle of "bud". It is also the best year to drink this bottle of "bud".
For this reason, John planned to give this wine as a gift to the Pope this Easter.
However, what he didn't expect was... Tonight, his "investment" of hundreds of thousands of pounds was actually picked up for nothing by a guy of unknown origin like Feng Bujue. This was simply an open robbery... But
The promise of "pick whatever you want" was given by John himself, so it was not easy for him to have an attack.
"Haha... a joke is enough..." Feng Bujue, who was swaying his wine glass, his smile gradually faded and continued, "I know you feel distressed, and I feel distressed too."
His words tore off the last layer of disguise on John's face, revealing a rather gloomy look on the master's face.
"Before I entered the wine cellar, you thought that I had neither the insight to find out the bottle of wine nor the courage to take out the bottle of wine." Feng Bujue continued, "And when I took out the wine, it was as if nothing had happened.
After opening it, you suppress your anger and admit that you are unlucky, while deceiving yourself and telling yourself...'This kid is just lucky, he actually doesn't know the value of this bottle of wine.'"
At this point, Brother Jue paused: "Ah... Where can there be so many coincidences and luck in this world? Even if there is... I'm afraid it doesn't belong to me." He picked up the wine glass proudly and took another sip, "He
Mr. Bert, I can tell you clearly...Today when I entered your wine cellar, I was looking for the most expensive bottle. The moment you promised me that you could choose whatever you wanted, you had already spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on it.
...Well...if my estimate is correct, it is probably at this price...I have already given away hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of red wine.
"Of course, I don't do this purely because I want to deceive you about this sky-high price of a bottle of red wine. I just want to use this thing... this thing that can be measured by the values that you are familiar with to convey some information to you.
.
"What you think I can't do or dare not do, I can actually do without any pressure. Ten minutes ago, your views, prejudices, judgments, etc. about me were the same as my views on you just now."
"Thank you" is the same as "compliment"...it's worthless."
"It seems... I am paying for my 'contempt' towards you." John stared at Brother Jue and read word by word.
"Hmph..." Feng Bujue snorted coldly and responded, "You should be lucky that I gave you this opportunity to 'pay tuition'..." He shrugged and said eloquently, "Each of us,
Everyone learns and grows by making mistakes, and these 'mistakes' are bound to come with a certain price... This time, the price you pay is money, which is just a small amount of money for you. But next time, if
If you make another mistake, you may have to pay more than just money."
"What you said..." John had regained his composure. He even listened carefully to what Feng Bujue said, "I will remember it well..."
At this point in the conversation between the two, there was a knock on the door. People outside didn't even need to speak, Brother Jue already knew who it was.
