Just as Feng Bujue and the two police officers walked through the foyer and were about to meet the police officer responsible for questioning, the sound of a car approaching was heard outside the villa gate.
After the three of them heard the sound, they stopped and turned their sights in the direction of the door. Both Schofield and Dumpty looked suspicious, while Feng Bujue remained calm as if the mountain had collapsed.
.
As mentioned before, Feng Bujue had done some research on the sound of footsteps. Therefore, when the visitor in the car got out of the car and approached the door while taking out the keys, Brother Jue already had many inferences in his mind.
He immediately said: "Female, between twenty and thirty years old, well-proportioned, wearing long riding boots. At this moment... I feel a little anxious."
Before he finished speaking, the door opened. A blond beauty in her mid-20s and blue eyes appeared in front of the door. She was wearing a jacket and jeans, and indeed she was wearing a pair of leather riding boots.
"Miss Nancy?" Feng Bujue asked tentatively.
"Um...yes, who are you?" When Nancy replied, she glanced at Dumpty, who was in uniform, "What happened?"
"It's true... something bad happened." Feng Bujue stretched out his hand and introduced the two people next to him, "This is Detective Scofield from the town; this is Officer Dumpdy."
The two police officers lifted the brim of their hats and greeted the lady politely.
"My name is Feng Bujue, and I am a detective." Feng Bujue continued.
"Police...detective..." Nancy looked worried.
Feng Bujue said the word "bad", firstly to make the other party mentally prepared, and secondly as a test. After seeing the other party's reaction, Brother Jue said again: "I think... it's up to your family to do it.
It would be more appropriate to tell you this bad news." He turned sideways and gestured towards the second floor, "They are in the study on the second floor, staying with another police officer, we can go there together."
Nancy hesitated for a few seconds, then looked Feng Bujue and the others up and down, and walked quickly towards the second floor without caring that her luggage was still in the car.
Feng Bujue and the three of them were also following behind, but because Nancy was walking in a hurry, she quickly went a long way ahead, leaving the three men far behind.
"Incredible." Dumpty said at this time, "Mr. Feng, how do you know what the person outside the door looks like? And you can even call him by name?"
"By listening to the sound of boots on the steps, the frequency, weight and other subtle characteristics of footsteps, you can basically guess the gender, weight and age of the person coming." Feng Bujue replied, "As for the name... because I already knew it before.
I learned something about the Lovecraft family and knew that Colston also had a daughter who would come to the villa, so after seeing her, based on her hair color, facial contour, age, dress, temperament, etc., I
It is inferred that she is Nancy.
Of course...even before the door was opened, I guessed it was her. After all, this is a remote place, there won't be many visitors, if it's fast..." He paused here and almost dropped the "Express"
After saying these two words, luckily he stopped the car in time and changed his words, "If this family has ordered goods somewhere and asked the store to deliver some daily necessities to their door regularly, then the person who arrived should be a strong man, and the sound of footsteps just now
It doesn’t match.”
Scofield looked at Brother Jue with admiration and praised: "As expected of a famous detective, he can think of so many things in an instant!"
"What is this NPC doing... Is Zeng Tai (the character in "Detective Di Renjie") possessed..." Feng Bujue complained in his mind, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with changing all your lines to Master Zeng's common sayings, right?
…
Like, 'My teacher is truly a god!', 'What do you mean...', 'There is no flaw!', 'It makes sense!', 'What my teacher said is absolutely true!', 'What did you think of?'
,'How did you come up with this idea?' Wait...just change the title to 'Mr. Feng' and then say it, that's enough work!
You seem to have no role, but you are actually an indispensable promoter in detective movies... In a story with only fourteen chapters, it is simply a nightmare existence! If you continue like this...
In order to maintain my wise image, I will definitely reveal the truth quickly without restraint!"
In the end, Feng Bujue couldn't help but murmured softly: "No... I won't be able to survive if this goes on. Proper unreasonable troubles are inevitable... It doesn't matter even if you are regarded as a lunatic. Anyway, as long as the case is solved in the end, others will also
I have nothing to say."
"Huh? What did you say? Mr. Feng?" Schofield asked.
"Ah? Ah... no... nothing." Feng Bujue changed the topic and said, "I suddenly thought of an idea that can help us find the murderer more effectively." He waved his hand to signal Schofield and Dumpty.
Come closer.
The two police officers didn't think much, and immediately took a few steps closer to Brother Jue, as if they were all ears.
"My plan is..." Feng Bujue lowered his voice and whispered between the two of them.
A minute later, he finished speaking. Schofield and Dumpdy straightened up, looked at each other, and then looked at Feng Bujue. A few seconds later, Schofield said seriously: "This is such a good idea!"
"Oh? Really?" Feng Bujue also didn't expect that the other party would agree with his inexplicable strategy so simply.
"Actually, when I was a detective in a big city, I often used this trick on stubborn gangsters and drug dealers." Schofield said, "They are all seasoned and can't do anything without using some tricks.
He paused for a moment, "It's just... the people in this villa are all well-known people. I am also the detective of the town after all. It doesn't seem to be a good idea to play this trick with them..."
"It will be much easier if you, the detective, come forward." Dumpdy added, "We, the police, do not need to be responsible for what you said."
"That's great, a win-win situation." Feng Bujue smiled.
While the three of them were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the reception room on the second floor. Before entering the room, they heard Nancy's surprised shout from inside, "Oh! God! This is not true!" The second half of the sentence was already included.
Crying.
"Don't be too sad, sister, no one wants to see this happen." Jack replied.
At this time, Feng Bujue and the three of them entered the room. Scanning the room, he could see: Over the sofa, Mark, the police officer in charge of questioning, was recording a statement to Mrs. Carol, and Mrs. Odetta was accompanying Carol, comforting her softly.
She; On a chair not far away, Mr. Colston sat, with a frown on his face, talking to Dr. Powell next to him; Barton stayed alone in the other corner of the room, looking restless.
and Jack was standing not far from the door, with Nancy crying in his arms.
"Mr. Police Officer, could you please come over here?" Feng Bujue said to Mark.
Mark turned his head and glanced at Schofield's face first. When his boss nodded, he walked over and said to Brother Jue, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Yes..." Feng Bujue consciously made eye contact with everyone in the room, and then deliberately raised his voice slightly and said, "Please take a step to speak." (To be continued)
