Thriller Paradise Chapter 18: Tuition fees


When Sergeant Dust said the phrase "please start an investigation at will," Feng Bujue got the [intervention in the investigation of the "John Herbert Murder"] task completion prompt.

Although I don’t know exactly how the system is defined, it’s clear... Previously, Jue Ge’s unilateral participation in the investigation was not recognized.

The appearance of Zuo Yan, or the appearance of the two "adversaries" Zuo Yan and Vidok, made this detective duel officially unfold, and also brought the script's task to the next stage.

And what to do in this "next stage"... The system didn't give any further hints, and the chain of sub-tasks under the main task was over.

In other words, the focus of Feng Bujue’s action has returned to [Complete the script with thirty-three chapters]; in the next fifteen chapters, how to stop Zuoyan and Vidock Deciphering the case quickly and proclaiming the truth has become the main problem facing Brother Jue......

…………

In the early morning, at 3:07, in a room on the first floor of the Herbert House.

In the room, only two people sat.

"Um...this wine is good." Feng Bujue took a sip of the red liquid in the goblet and gave a very pertinent evaluation.

At this time, he was sitting on a sofa with his legs upright, and shook the wine glass in his hand leisurely. On the coffee table in front of him, there was a bottle of red wine that had already been opened.

"Heh... that's right, this bottle of wine, I originally planned to give it to the Pope this Easter..." On the other hand, John Herbert's face was a kind of "Take me" expression; he was sitting on another sofa chair opposite to Brother Jue, with a bit of bitterness, responding to Brother Jue's compliment.

"Oh?" Feng Bujue raised his eyebrows when he heard the words and smiled, "So...then I have to solemnly thank Mr. Herbert for your hospitality."

"You're welcome..." John said solemnly, "My manor hasn't served guests for a long time, and it's rare that Mr. Feng is also a wine-savvy person... My bottle of treasured red wine can be considered to be the best use. "

I said so, but in fact, John’s heart is bleeding at this moment...

More than ten minutes ago, when Feng Bujue asked John to "take a bottle of red wine to taste" from the wine cellar, John gave him a disdainful smile, and secretly said: "I thought this What a great person the kid is, and when he speaks, he wants to wipe oil from a rich man’s house, huh...well, you have never seen anything in the world, so let you pick it up."

At the time, John believed that people like Feng Bujue belonged to the same class as Dust. With the courage and insight of this kind of person, at most he would pit him for one or two bottles of about 1,000 pounds. bar.

Unexpectedly... After getting permission, Jue went into the wine cellar and went around, stupefied to pick out the entire wine cellar, even the most expensive bottle of wine in Wales.

This bottle of wine was brewed and bottled by a well-known French winery just ten years ago. The climate, soil, grape harvest and other factors that would affect the quality of the brewing that year were all perfect. It was rare in a century, so many good wines were produced; and this bottle of red wine called "Hua Bud" is even better. The best wines in...

A few years ago, at an auction, John bought this bottle of "flower bud" for hundreds of thousands of pounds. Of course, he didn't plan to drink it himself when he bought it. He bought it for some special occasions.

Many people have a misunderstanding about wine, that is, "the longer the wine is, the better." This is not the case; the wine that is claimed to have been stored for one or two hundred years has already changed its taste and can only be bought as a display Look at the product, if it is really opened and drink, even if it is undead...the taste will not be very good.

The best drinking period of red wine after bottling is usually not more than fifteen years, and most of them are in the range of four to ten years. This year, it happens to be the best year to drink this bottle of "bud". It is for this reason that John plans to give this wine as a gift to the Pope on Easter this year.

However, what he didn't expect was...tonight, his "investment" of hundreds of thousands of pounds was actually picked up by Feng Bujue from such an unknown source. This is simply a steal. ... But the promise of "choose whatever you want" was given by John himself, and he was not good at it.

"Hehe...just a joke..." Feng Bujue, who was shaking his glass, gradually closed his smile, and said, "I know you feel bad, and I feel bad for me."

His words removed the last layer of disguise from John's face, leaving the master with a rather gloomy look.

"Before I entered the wine cellar, you felt that I had neither the knowledge to find the bottle of wine nor the courage to take out the bottle of wine." Feng Bujue continued, "And when I took out the wine , And if you turn it on nonchalantly, you will be deceived and tell yourself while squeezing your anger to admit that you are unlucky, while deceiving yourself... "This kid is just lucky, he actually doesn't know the value of this bottle of wine."

At this point, I felt that Brother paused: "Heh...Where are there so many coincidences and luck in this world? Even if there are...I am afraid it does not belong to me." He proudly picked up the wine glass and took another sip. "Mr. Herbert, I can tell you clearly... Today I went into your wine cellar and I was looking for the most expensive bottle. The moment you promised me'you can choose whatever you want', you have Hundreds of thousands...Um...If I'm not mistaken, it's probably at this price...I have already given away hundreds of thousands of pounds worth of red wine.

"Of course, I did this, and I did not purely want to pit your bottle of sky-high red wine~IndoMTL.com~I just want to use this thing...this thing can be measured by the values ​​you are familiar with To convey some information to you.

"——what you think I can’t do, I don’t dare to do things, I don’t have any pressure to do it; ten minutes ago, your opinions, prejudices, judgments, etc. about me My'thanks' and'compliments' to you are the same... worthless."

"It seems...I am paying for my'contempt' of you." John stared at Brother Jue, and said every word.

"Hmph..." Feng Bujue snorted coldly and responded, "You should be thankful, I have given you this kind of opportunity to'pay tuition'..." He shrugged and whispered, "We Everyone learns and grows by making mistakes, and these "mistakes" are bound to be accompanied by a certain price... This time, the price you pay is money, which is only a small amount of money for you. But next Second, if you make a mistake again, what you have to pay...maybe more than just money."

"What you said..." John has recovered his calmness. He even listened to Feng Bujue's words very seriously, "I will remember them well..."

At this point in the conversation between the two, there was a knock on the door outside the door, and people outside didn't need to speak. I felt that my brother already knew who it was.
