As expected, the person who knocked on the door was Sheriff Daost; he just knocked on the door a few times, then pushed the door open and came in.
"Oh~ you really drank it." As soon as he entered the room, the police chief's eyes fell on the bottle of wine in front of Feng Bujue, and he complained.
At this time, the expression on the police chief's face had become very relaxed, and behind this "relaxation" was an unabashed attitude of "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water."
No matter how many benefits Daost received from John, or how wary he was about the power of the Herbert family on the island... after the phone call from the Minister of the Interior, these factors no longer existed.
Zuo Yan used actions to convey a message to the Sheriff. John Herbert's little power on this island may be at the level of a king; but in front of truly powerful people, he is just a little bit of a family member.
Just a rich cannery owner.
"Mr. Sheriff, you came just in time." When Feng Bujue saw Daost, he also smiled and said enthusiastically, "How about we try this bottle of 'bud' worth hundreds of thousands of pounds together?"
"Ha!" Daost laughed dryly after hearing this. It was obvious that he took Brother Jue's words as a joke, "Okay, this kind of wine is worth more than my total pension. After drinking it, I can see God.
Bar."
While he was talking, the police chief had already turned to the wine cabinet, took out a glass, and then walked to the sofa next to Brother Jue.
It looks like... he really wants to drink it.
On the other hand, Zuo Yan and Sam also followed the police chief to the room; they walked in slowly, one behind the other, and judging from their looks, they also had their own concerns...
When they entered the house, John had already returned to his usual calmness, so these few people didn't know about the incident about red wine just now.
"So... how is the progress so far?" When the three people sat down, Feng Bujue raised his eyes to Zuo Yan and asked this question.
Logically speaking, this matter should be brought to the attention of Doster, after all, he is the person in charge of the scene.
But Feng Bujue asked Zuo Yan directly...or rather, asked Vidocq.
Because Jue Ge knew very well that besides himself, the only person (cat) present who was closest to the "truth" was Vidocq; even John and Sam, who were the parties involved, may not have as much understanding of the whole incident as Jue did.
Brother and Vidocq are two bystanders.
"Well..." Zuo Yan pondered for two seconds and then continued, "There is no doubt that this is a simple little case."
Just this opening sentence made Feng Bujue sure of one thing. At this moment, the person (cat) he was talking to was not Zuo Yan, but Vidocq.
Zuo Yan is a person with a calm personality. Only in some sudden critical situations, he will become decisive and even aggressive; but at ordinary times... he usually has a warm-hearted attitude and is very humble in dealing with others.
; Based on Feng Bujue's understanding of Zuo Yan, the latter would never say such arrogant lines as "a simple little case".
Vidocq is different. This cat is extremely conceited. His catchphrase is "I am Vidocq." He often uses these five words to answer some of Zuo Yan's questions.
Why are you here? How did you do it? How did you know he was the murderer? How did you deduce this motive?
Questions like this were often asked by Zuo Yan to Vidoc. Although not every time, there were still many times... Vidoc responded with "I am Vidoc".
This is like asking Batman, "How did you catch the prisoner?"
At this time, Batman doesn't need to talk nonsense to you about the process of reasoning and action. He only needs to reply to you: "beause_im_batman!"
The same is true for Vidocq; for a detective like him, his ego is directly proportional to his ability, and he does have the capital to be arrogant.
Right now, he is using spiritual dialogue to tell what he wants to say through Zuoyan.
Naturally, it would be impossible for others to think that... Zuo Yan was actually repeating the words of an unknown cat hiding somewhere, but as the creator of these two characters, Brother Jue knew this very well.
"Ha!" As soon as Zuo Yan finished speaking, Daost, who had already drank half a glass of red wine, let out his signature dry laugh and interjected, "It seems that our famous detective is going to start a mystery show. I'm still in the movie.
I’ve seen this kind of scene before, but I didn’t expect to experience it myself today.”
"Yeah...I'm looking forward to it too." The next second, Sam followed suit, and used a tone that was one part teasing and one part expectant.
In fact, at this point, there was no need for him to speak, but unfortunately... Sam was not a smart and skilled criminal, so he had to have a guilty conscience; therefore, he said this in a pretentious and relaxed tone.
, to cover up one’s nervousness and uneasiness.
In this regard, Feng Bujue really had no other better way besides taking care of him. This was really a rhythm that his teammates couldn't control...
The meaning behind Sam's move, not to mention detectives at the level of Jue Ge and Vidocq, even Zuo Yan and even Sheriff Daost could see it; as for John...he had it from the beginning.
He determined that today's incident was related to Sam, and he would be able to do it no matter what Sam did.
All in all, Sam's speech has no other meaning except making himself more suspicious in front of everyone...
"So..." After a short but awkward silence, Zuo Yan spoke again and relayed for Vidocq, "In order to better let everyone here understand the process of this case, I will follow the chronological order.
...Tell me the whole story of the whole case."
Having said this, he paused and adjusted his breathing.
Feng Bujue knew that this was actually Zuo Yan waiting for Vidocq to finish his next sentence; since spiritual communication also takes time, listening to the voice in his mind while relaying it is also a difficult skill; even if Zuo Yan
Although I am now very proficient in speaking, it is difficult to avoid the interference caused by the overlap between my own speaking voice and the voice in my head.
"To explain today's case, first of all, we have to mention the inheritance dispute case involving the Herbert family many years ago." Two seconds later, Zuo Yan continued.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, John interrupted him: "Mr. Zuo...is this matter going too far?"
Before Zuo Yan could reply, Sam sneered and said, "Humph...what? Are you afraid that something ulterior will be revealed?"
"Gentlemen!" Feng Bujue interrupted them decisively, "Pay attention to your image, you are gentlemen, not shrews..." He said, then looked at John, "Mr. Herbert, if you...
It's too far-fetched and I can't come up with a more appropriate and sufficient reason, so please let Zuo Yan finish..." After he said this, he paused for half a second and added, "Otherwise I will
