"That's enough!" This time, John couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up as soon as he hit the coffee table and yelled at Zuo Yan, "I don't need to sit here and listen to this!"
"No...you have to listen."
What shocked John was that the person who replied this sentence was Daost.
"Don't look at me with that look, John." Dauster held the wine glass and said in a half-drunk tone, "At this point... I might as well just say it..." He pointed at Zuo Yan,
"Right now, that kid is the person in charge here. He can go wherever he wants and do whatever he wants. Whoever he says to be arrested... can be arrested."
"What?" John glared at Daost, his eyes seeming to say - "You have received so many benefits from me on weekdays, and you tell me this when you need it?"
"What's so surprising?" Feng Bujue muttered leisurely from the side, "He blatantly held important evidence related to the case without wearing gloves, and chatting with you here... is not enough
Explain the problem?"
He was right. Zuo Yan had done something like this that even Daost couldn't do and was obviously against the regulations. That meant... that there was nothing Zuo Yan couldn't do at this scene.
In fact, even after the phone call between the Minister of the Interior and Daost, Feng Bujue knew... From this moment on, the case has been fully handed over to Zuo Yan, and it doesn't matter if Daost goes home from work immediately.
The only reason why Mr. Sheriff is still at the scene is simply that Shangfeng wants you to stay at the scene to support the scene. After all, there are many people outside watching.
"You...you..." John glanced at the other four people in the room with different expressions, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
He had no choice but to suppress his anger again and sat down.
"Mr. Zuo Yan." After recomposing himself and adjusting his breathing, John spoke again, "I hope you have enough ability...and courage to be responsible for what you say next."
"It's not something you need to worry about. Mr. Herbert...oh no..." Zuo Yan replied, "I think I'd better call you John. Now that everything has been said, should you be called 'Herbert'?"
’, it’s a matter for discussion.”
Obviously, Zuo Yan did not accept John's "demonstration" tricks at all; even if he did not have the ability and courage to feed others shit like Feng Bujue, he would not be intimidated by this level of intimidation.
"Well... I'm a little confused by being interrupted all the time." After a few seconds, Zuo Yan said again, "Just in time, let's just go back to the topic..."
He said these two sentences to buy time, because it was not him who was interrupted, but Vidocq. Zuo Yan needed to buy the Meow Detective some time to re-examine the narrative content.
"Let's start with Miller..." Then Zuo Yan continued unhurriedly, "Pat Miller is a greedy person. This greed has made him transform from a young man with a bright future to
Gradually turned into a criminal with a bad record.
"Years ago, when Miller was still working at John Herbert Investment Co., Ltd., he was placed in John's hands due to his outstanding work ability and performance, and he became John's right-hand man at a young age.
“In those two years, he and John did a lot of things that were on the fringes of the law and even crossed the line... It was these activities that made John a young and promising young entrepreneur in the eyes of everyone.
"Of course, both of them are very shrewd, and neither of them will leave any loopholes for the other. The two of them make good use of each other and get what they need.
"But the good times didn't last long. Miller's greed finally allowed him to break away from John's control...
"In the second year after becoming John's assistant, Miller quietly registered a handbag company in his own name. He misappropriated funds from John's company into his own company account to make some short-term, high-risk investment projects.
, for personal gain.
“At first, he succeeded a few times. While making money, he was able to replenish funds without anyone noticing, so... his courage became stronger and stronger.
"As the saying goes, if you always walk by the river, your shoes won't get wet... Finally once, Miller fell short and lost a lot of money. Although he took advantage of John's trust in him and covered up his fault, this was just
A stopgap measure... It didn't take long for John's company to have a break in its capital chain.
"Of course, at this time, John didn't realize that Miller was the root of the matter. I guess he didn't even think about the presumption of an 'inside thief', so... he once again made Miller his 'partner in crime'
', carried out the conspiracy to seize old Herbert's family property.
"What happened after that...I have already talked about it before.
"By the time the revelations occurred, it was already after the final judgment of the inheritance dispute case. During that period... John had enough energy to free up his hands to investigate some things; in the end... the paper could not cover the fire, and Miller's misappropriation of funds was exposed.
, he was kicked out by John as a matter of course.
"Although Miller knows a lot about John's crimes, as I just said...neither of them is the type of person who would leave 'evidence', and...Miller himself has also served as John's accomplice in many incidents.
.So, even if Miller, who was driven away, wanted to blackmail John, he couldn't find any way.
"In the years that followed... Miller's life was obviously not very good, and his life became more and more miserable. It's not that he didn't have the ability to make a fortune, it's just... that he no longer had the ability to make a fortune.
The 'right way' to get rich.
"To use a metaphor, he is like a gambler who has lost everything. It is almost impossible for such a person to get rich by working anymore; because... when a person has become accustomed to gaining or losing huge fortunes through gambling,
, his concept of money will become distorted. At this time, the little money earned through labor...can no longer give him any "real feeling".
"Similarly...it will be very difficult for a person who has easily earned a huge amount of money through illegal means to earn the same amount of money through legal means. It will be difficult for him to generate psychological motivation.
"That's how people are... It's okay if they haven't gone down the wrong path. Once they go down the wrong path, it's very difficult for them to go back to the right path after experiencing the easy-to-come-and-ridiculous wealth and vanity...
"Within a few years, Miller spent all his savings and went further and further down the road of crime...and then, inevitably, he was caught.
"With the first criminal record, his chances of finding a good job are reduced by 90%. What's more, even a job that seems respectable to others cannot satisfy his greed...
"So, he had a second, third, and Nth criminal record; at the beginning, it was all financial fraud, but later it became an ordinary, not very clever fraud.
Later, there was even a record of violent crimes such as sneak robberies..."
