Thriller Paradise Chapter 28: Buying a murderer (part 2)

"Miller has definitely entered and exited the Herbert house a lot. When he was working as an assistant for John, it was common to spend the night here; it can be said that he is much more than in this house today. The staff should also be familiar with the situation here.

"Of course, it has been several years since he last came here as a'guest', and this time Miller is committing a planned crime, so he will definitely come here again in advance. Feel the situation inside and outside the mansion...

"But in any case, combined with some information that Sam had obtained yesterday afternoon... it was not difficult for Miller to sneak into this house.

"That's it. At about ten o'clock in the evening, Miller took advantage of the darkness and entered Herbert Manor over the wall from an area where there was no surveillance. Then he touched the west side of the mansion all the way. The locked window entered the house.

"After all, this is a civilian house, not a heavily guarded military facility. There are only a few security guards in total. At night, the cleaners and cooks also went back to the side house, so Miller entered No one found him after the mansion.

"So Miller came to John's bedroom, which was empty at the time, in such a stately place, and hid it behind the curtains of the French windows.

"On the other hand, Sam... was chatting with a detective he had just met in the bar of the Alfred Hotel in order to create his alibi.

"At eleven o'clock, when the agreed hands-on time came, Sam went into the bar toilet and dialed the phone in John's bedroom with his cell phone.

"It was an old telephone. There was no extension and call forwarding could not be set. Moreover, its power supply was separated from the power system of the mansion; John put this telephone in the bedroom as a kind of'dedicated line' To use this phone number, he only gave it to a few people.

"So, when he heard the phone ringing, John who was working in the study next door got up and went to the bedroom to answer the call.

"At this moment... Miller started.

"He chose a very good location. The curtain was only a few meters away from the table with the phone, and he appeared just behind John.

"However...an accident happened.

"Miller didn’t expect that John, a man who was nearly ten years older than himself, still maintained good physical strength and reaction speed. After some struggle and struggle, John slammed back sideways, his whole body side. It was on Miller’s body, and Miller stepped on the carpet, slipped his feet, and hit the corner of the table with his head.

"This collision roughly carried the weight of two adult men and caused irreparable damage to the back of Miller's head, causing him to die on the spot.

"At the same time, Sam, who heard the fight on the other end of the phone, also noticed something was wrong, because the last gasp he heard...was not Miller’s, but John’s who should have died. .

"A few seconds later, John who was gasping for breath naturally recognized that the perpetrator was Miller. He soon realized that there was something between Sam’s sudden visit during the day, the phone call and Miller’s sneak attack. Contact, thinking of this...he quickly hung up the phone.

"What's going on...Everyone, it should be clear too."

From the left to this point, the whole case has basically been presented before everyone's eyes.

The four people in the room fell silent again.

"Hmm..." After a while, Feng Bujue took the lead to break the silence, "Did you finish?"

"Uh..." Zuo Yan was also taken aback when he was asked. He paused for two seconds, and wanted to wait to see Vidok's instructions, but Vidok didn't say anything, so Zuo Yan could only reply on his own. Said, "Yes, that's it."

"OK, let me talk about it now." Feng Bujue shook the red wine glass in his hand and continued in a leisurely tone.

"What else do you want to say?" John looked at Brother Jue, "As it is now...Do you think you still have a way to exonerate Sam?"

"Quit?" Brother Jue raised his eyebrows and replied in a relaxed tone, "Is it necessary?" He glanced at Sam, "Sam was not guilty."

"Huh?" Now, Dust was dumbfounded. He looked at Brother Jue and said, "Hey... Did you not hear a word from Detective Zuo just now? Everything has been said so clearly. Now, you actually said that Sam is innocent?"

"Haha..." Feng Bujue chuckled lightly. "What he said is very clear, and every aspect of the logic is also very clear, but...what about the evidence?" He paused and looked at John again." Just like John can confidently deny that he'has murdered money in an inheritance case' outside of this whole reasoning, as long as there is no evidence, Sam can also deny some content in this reasoning, right?"

"But..." Dust thought for a few seconds, "That recording..."

"That's right!" Feng Bujue interrupted loudly, "I'm about to talk about that recording..." He smiled and looked at Zuo Yan, and said, "Student Zuo Yan, please record that recording. Let it out in its entirety."

"Damn..." At this moment, Vidock cursed in his heart, "Sure enough, this kid saw through..."

Brother Jue fell behind in his voice, Zuo Yan hesitated for a few seconds, then sighed, took out Miller's phone again, and pressed the play button.

Miller’s voice came from the phone again—"I’m Pat Miller. It’s six o’clock in the afternoon on October 12th. In one hour, I’ll meet Sam Herbert. ……"

This time, Zuo Yan didn't press the stop button, but the recording...nor did not continue.

A few seconds later~IndoMTL.com~John, Sam, and Dust realized something one after another, and the expressions on their faces also changed.

"Look... just as I said..." Feng Bujue shrugged and continued, "A lot of times... a matter that doesn't seem to be questioned at first glance, its essence is completely different from the appearance."

"You..." A second later, Zuo Yan asked for Vidoc, "...Why did you know that this recording is only so long?"

"It's very simple." Feng Bujue replied unhurriedly, "In your reasoning process, a total of three times you used your mobile phone. The first time was to show Miller's photo on Miller's mobile phone. The second time I used Miller’s mobile phone to play the recording, and the third time...I used my mobile phone to show us Miller’s speeches on social networking sites.

"Among them, for the first and third time, you turned your phone screen to us for display, only the second time...you did not do this.

"At first glance, this is normal... because the first and third time you want to show the picture, and the second time you want to show only the sound; but... you are pressing the recording stop button At the time, I was a little anxious, and you pressed it down almost before the ending of the last word fell. This...makes me suspicious."
