As Dennis drove, he started talking to Feng Bujue in the back seat. After all, he was a stranger who had only met for less than five minutes, so it was impossible for him to completely let down his guard. Therefore, this kind of communication could be regarded as a kind of
test.
Due to the limited information he had, Feng Bujue obviously felt powerless during the conversation. Because he knew nothing about the year and place where this script took place. Moreover, he could not tell anything about himself, such as his birthday, home address, and other information.
The most basic situation like having no relatives.
Fortunately, Brother Jue was very smart. Not long after the conversation started, he said: "I may have had a slight concussion when the car accident happened, and my memory seems to have been affected."
With this sentence at the bottom, as long as he is asked by the other party, he can directly answer: "Sorry, I can't remember clearly", and then hold his forehead as if he is in pain.
Therefore, during this not-so-long journey, Feng Bujue only revealed three pieces of information: name, gender and occupation. On the contrary, Dennis and his wife were tricked out of a lot of information by him...
First of all, the year this script takes place is 1985; the location is a small European country called "Assali", which sounds like fiction.
Secondly, the man in front of me, Mr. Dennis Lovecraft, who exudes a rich and handsome temperament, is a businessman, mainly engaged in industrial pipelines. And his wife Carol, although she has now taken her husband's surname
, but it can be heard from the words of the two that the woman's background is quite prominent, much higher than that of the man.
This alone made Feng Bujue have a lot of guesses... A handsome and stalwart man married a wife who was not very beautiful, but had a very good background. This kind of setting usually appears in detective novels.
The probability of a homicide is extremely high. For example, the man has a mistress outside, or he doesn't have one for the time being, and he plans to devour the woman's property and then find another one... These are all very convincing motives for murder.
In addition, after some observation, Feng Bujue found that the couple seemed a little uneasy about the prospect of this trip. It seemed that the so-called "family gathering" was by no means an ordinary meeting of relatives and friends, and there must be a lot of stories in it...
"Look, we're here." Dennis' voice brought Feng Bujue back from his thoughts.
After the car turned a corner, a mountain villa appeared in Feng Bujue's sight.
The road ahead branched off and led directly to the driveway in front of the villa. Dennis drove in and came to the gate of the villa. He did not get out of the car, but just honked the car horn twice.
Soon, a man wearing a traditional black tuxedo opened the door and walked out. This man looked to be about sixty years old, and his hair was already gray. However, his hair was still meticulously combed, and his waist was straight.
"Oh! It turns out to be Master Dennis, welcome back!" the man said and came up to greet him.
"There was a little delay on the way, how are you? Henderson." Dennis replied.
"Don't worry, Master, my body is still strong." As Henderson spoke, he came to the car and opened the door for the lady. "Hello, Miss Carol."
"Thanks, Henderson." Carol stepped out of the car.
Dennis had also gotten out of the car at this time, and happened to see Henderson looking at Feng Bujue with doubtful eyes.
"Oh. Let me introduce you." Dennis said, "This is Mr. Henderson, the housekeeper... This... is Mr. Feng Bujue."
"Hello."
"Nice to meet you."
Feng Bujue greeted the other party politely.
"Mr. Feng encountered an accident on the mountain road. He lost his car and luggage. Fortunately, he was not seriously injured." Dennis explained. "If it is convenient, please ask Olive (the maid) to prepare a guest room and a suite for him."
Clean, well-fitting clothes.”
"Yes, Master. I'll do it right away." When Henderson agreed, he had already taken out two large boxes of luggage from the trunk of the car. He breathed heavily, turned around and went into the house.
"I'm really sorry to trouble you, Mr. Lovecraft." Feng Bujue was still very polite on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart: Two middle-aged men looked at an old man carrying such heavy luggage, but they didn't show any sign.
It seems so common... maybe this could become a potential motive for murder...
"Anyway, now that you are here, you are a guest." Dennis replied, "This is the proper way to treat guests."
While they were talking, a short man wearing a white shirt and overalls came out. This man was in his early forties, with a beard and a rosy face. He looked very energetic, "Master Dennis, Butler Henderson asked
I'll park the car in the garage for you."
"Well, okay." Dennis handed the car keys to the other party casually, and turned to Feng Bujue and said, "Oh, this is Gardener Barton." He paused and then said, "Please follow me into the house.
, Mr. Feng.”
Feng Bujue responded and followed Dennis and his wife into the villa gate.
[The current mission has been completed and the main mission has been updated] The system prompt sounded at this time, but Feng Bujue was not in a hurry to check the menu.
After entering the house, he first observed the surrounding environment. The foyer on the first floor was very spacious, the furniture was arranged in an orderly manner, and the wallpaper and furnishings were basically in cold colors, which seemed to hint at the owner's character. The top of the head was oak.
The ceiling is extremely high; there is also a wooden floor under the feet, and there is a gold carpet with a messy pattern on it. The windows are made of Venetian glass, and the window frames are painted blue-gray. Looking forward, seven or eight meters away is the door leading to the second floor.
Stairs to the building.
At this time, there happened to be a beautiful woman slowly walking down the stairs.
She looked to be around thirty years old at most, and was wearing a green low-cut long skirt. She had a charming appearance, her skin was as white as snow, her plump upper body was ready to appear, but her waist was embarrassingly slender.
"Dennis, Carol." The beautiful woman greeted the Dennis and his wife warmly, "Oh! Are you okay?" She came over and gave the two of them a ceremonial hug respectively.
"Oh, Odetta, it's so nice to see you," Carol replied.
The words were like this, and the tone was very similar, but Feng Bujue didn't see any happiness in her eyes.
Dennis said tepidly: "How is father's health?"
Odetta's expression suddenly became much gloomier, "Uh... about this... I'll let Dr. Powell talk to you later." She seemed to want to change the topic, so her eyes fell on Feng Bujue and said
Asked: "This is..."
Dennis briefly told Odetta about Feng Bujue. It is worth noting that the words he used when introducing Odetta to Feng Bujue - "my father's third wife". (To be completed.)
