Thriller Paradise Chapter 10: Unexpected

Boom boom boom——

A knock on the door brought Zuo Yan back to his senses, who was staring at the TV in a daze.

After hesitating for a second, he walked to the door and said through the door panel: "Who can I call for?"

"Excuse me, sir, I'm the waiter in the bar." The voice of the waiter who had been talking to Brother Jue came from outside the door.

"Oh...what's the matter?" Zuo Yan replied.

"Did you lose a cat?" the waiter asked.

Hearing this, Zuo Yan's expression changed slightly, and then he leaned over the cat's eye behind the door and glanced at it; through the glass, he saw Vidock who was looking upset and held by the waiter in his arms.

The next second, Zuo Yan opened the door without saying a word. He looked at the waiter and smiled awkwardly: "Haha...Sorry, he slipped away when I didn't pay attention, and I was looking for him. What..." As he spoke, he reached out to pick up the cat, "Well... where did you find him?"

"It was discovered by a gentleman named Feng in a bar. Mr. Feng said that you are his friend and asked me to bring the cat." The waiter handed the cat to Zuo Yan and said," Here, sir, if there is nothing wrong, I have to go back to work."

"Okay, thank you." Zuo Yan took the cat and said politely, "Thank you."

After a brief exchange, the door closed again, leaving one person and one cat in the room, looking at each other...

"Simply long-winded." Vidock stared at the fisheye, passed a message through his heart, and said this to Zuo Yan when he opened his mouth.

"I haven't said anything yet..." Zuo Yan responded with a smile.

"Yes, I sometimes missed it." Vidoc knew what the other party was going to say, so he didn't even want to listen. "But...this time, it really wasn't caused by me carelessly..."

"Oh?" Zuo Yan could hear that he meant something, so he just responded and waited for him to continue.

"Although from an objective point of view, I seem to be out of luck, but...I vaguely feel that the self-proclaimed'detective' Feng Bujue seems to be far less simple than it seems on the surface..."

…………

The words are divided into two ends, and then look at the bar.

"What's the matter? Man." Feng Bujue looked at Sam with suspicious eyes, and asked, "Your face doesn't look good."

After coming back from the toilet, Sam's expression became very weird. It didn't look like an expression after a successful crime, and it didn't look like an emotion disguised for some reason.

Feng Bujue quickly saw through the truth behind this expression—the crime that Sam was doing had an accident in the process.

"I..." Sam said only one word, then hesitated and thought again.

Obviously, some unexpected change disrupted his original criminal plan, so the various rhetoric and acting skills he prepared in advance... all lost their meaning.

Not everyone is able to adapt to situations like Feng Bujue’s horrible reaction. As an ordinary person, Sam, as an ordinary person, faces a situation where he may fall into his own death when he says a few words wrong. You have to think twice, and be cautious in your words and actions...

"Could it be...on the phone...is there any bad news?" When Feng Bujue saw that the other party was not answering, he used guiding words and tried to pry Sam's mouth open.

"Uh..." Sam's eyeballs rolled in his eye sockets half a circle, and then he picked up the small glass of spirits he had not finished drinking on the table, raised his neck, and drank it. "Huh ......" After half a glass of wine, he seemed to have made up his mind, "Feng brother..." He looked at Feng Bujue, and said, "My house... seems to have something wrong."

[Current task has been completed]

As soon as Sam uttered this sentence, the system voice also sounded in Brother Jue's ears.

Feng Bujue opened the game menu and looked at the taskbar; at this time, the second subtask under the main task [Waiting for the case] has been ticked, and the second subtask is displayed below it. Three sub-tasks-[Intervene in the investigation of "John Herbert Murder"].

"What?" Feng Bujue was shocked when he saw this mission, "'John Herbert Murder'?" He couldn't help but spit out secretly, "Should this guy be the victim?"

Feng Bujue had no doubt heard about the Herbert family’s inheritance dispute through the afternoon’s “visit” on the island. He also saw Sam’s photos at that time; therefore, he met at the elevator door. When he arrived at Sam, Feng Bujue could recognize him.

The reason why Jue and Vidock came to the conclusion that "Sam is likely to be involved in a certain crime" was that... They both saw the money in Sam's shirt pocket.

That is a very, very thick pile of money...

It's so thick that it can't fit into the inner pocket or trouser pocket of the suit, so that Sam can only put it in the outer pocket of the suit and try to cover his walking with his hands.

Under normal circumstances ~IndoMTL.com~ this kind of cover is enough. Except for pickpockets, it is true that no one will stare at other people's pockets all day.

However, in front of characters like Feng Bujue and Vidoc, this must be revealing.

Anyone who enters their sight will become a "inference sample"; this is their instinct...They have developed the habit of "observation" and "reasoning", and their proficiency has reached their level. A realm that ordinary people can hardly reach even if they work hard. For them, the deductive method is a normal sense for communicating with the world, which is no different from breathing.

So, that new hat, that hurried gait, that thoughtful look, that thick pile of cash, and the identity of "Sam Herbert" itself... these quick glances The information collected in a matter of seconds has evolved into the same conclusion in Feng Bujue's and Vidock's minds-this guy is going to do something.

However, at the time, Vidoc reasoned more than Feng Bujue, because he knew better about the inheritance case.

In the next few hours, when Feng Bujue entered the room and before he came to the bar, Brother Jue also used his mobile phone to go online to further detail the Herbert family’s inheritance case. After investigating it, he finally came up with a set of inferences similar to that of Vidoc, which is regarded as catching up with the opponent's progress in intelligence.

At this point, the two sides have come to the same starting line, and coincidentally structured a hypothesis that "brother buys homicide".

However, the actual development of this matter at the moment is beyond everyone...including Sam's own expectations.

"Don't panic..." After three seconds, Feng Bujue quickly calmed down, and put on a particularly righteous and reliable look, and said to the man in front of him who was "coming together", "What's the matter? Tell me first..."
