Thriller Paradise Chapter 22: Motivation (Part 2)
"Good question." Zuo Yan continued, "I can tell you clearly, of course I have evidence, and it is very conclusive evidence."
Speaking, he operated a few more times on the phone and opened an audio file.
A few seconds later, a man’s voice came from the player of that phone--
"This is Pat Miller, and it is six o'clock in the afternoon on October 12th. In one hour, I will meet with Sam Herbert..."
Zuoyan played only the first few sentences, and immediately pressed the stop button.
And Sam...just after hearing this beginning, his face changed involuntarily.
"The reason why you have the confidence to say the sentence just now is undoubtedly because you think you have not left any evidence that has any intersection with Miller." Zuo Yan is not surprised by Sam's change in expression. He just continued faintly, "It's true... Miller is very cautious. In order not to leave a call record, he used the method of'talking to you suddenly in public' when he came to see you for the first time in order not to keep a record of the call. Every time I make an appointment, it is through the method of'appointing a time and place by leaving a secret message on a public online message board'.
"Most of the places where you meet are selected in crowded business centers. The surveillance equipment in those places is installed and managed by the merchants, which is different from the police surveillance installed on the street...Merchants usually Surveillance video will not be kept for too long. The period of cleaning video files is as short as one week, and the long period is only two months; therefore, even if the scene when you meet is captured by a certain camera, you don’t have to worry about this video. Will stay for too long.
"I have to say that this method of'talking in person if you have something to say' is very good. It greatly increases the efficiency and safety of your work...Including the key link of'paying', you also deliver cash in person , Does not involve bank transfers.
"Everything you do... almost nothing to check.
"However...and because of this, the prudent Miller will definitely keep his hand; after all...after the matter is done, he will have to take a'final payment' from you, in case you fall behind, Or if he is trying to kill him, he has to be prepared. Otherwise... he will do nothing for you.
"So, Miller this evening, before meeting you... I recorded such a recording in advance, and talked about the transaction between you and him from beginning to end; if something unexpected happens later, For example... if you want to lose the balance but not pay, then he can use this recording of "recording time before the crime time" to threaten you..."
"Wait a minute." At this time, Feng Bujue interjected, "Miller himself was also involved in the case. If you hand over the recording to the police... will he die with Sam?"
"It's not'to die together'." Zuo Yan looked at Brother Jue and replied, "If Miller took the recording to the police and surrendered, considering the content of the recording and the plot of the surrender, he is very likely to become an accessory in the end. 'Sentenced lightly; and Sam... was convicted of being a liar by the court in the probate lawsuit that year. With a clear motive and a planned crime, he, the'prime culprit', might never follow him in his life. Out of the prison."
In the above answer, Zuo Yan is not retelling Vidock's psychic monologue, but he is saying it himself. Because before coming to this room, Vidoc had already gone through the whole case in Zuo Yan's mind. Therefore, Zuo Yan can deal with this kind of immediate problem on his own. This is also his and Wei. A tacit understanding of Doc.
"Similarly..." After a slight pause, Zuo Yan said again, "If Miller was arrested in the course of committing the crime, then this recording can also be used as a kind of evidence to mitigate his guilt. It is prepared."
"Hmm...that's how it is." Feng Bujue nodded in a thoughtful manner after hearing this.
He, this is acting...
Actually, Brother Jue didn't understand this after listening to Zuo Yan's words, he had already thought of it; but...in order to make the case last to Chapter 33, Feng did not feel that he would ask something like this at the right time The problem.
From Zuoyan and Vidock’s point of view, Feng Bujue’s questions are reasonable and can help them explain the case and the logic of each party’s behavior more clearly, so they are patient. Answered.
"Huh?" Just after the groaning, Feng Bujue seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and raised his tone and asked, "Then how did you get this recording? Did Miller take this recording with him? Up?"
"See clearly, Brother Jue." Zuo Yan smiled and raised his mobile phone, "This is not my mobile phone."
Feng Bujue had long discovered that the mobile phone Zuo Yan was holding at this moment was different from the one he had handed to Dust. He just asked knowingly.
"This phone belongs to Miller." Zuo Yan continued, "Of course, he didn't take it with him when he committed the crime, otherwise... Mr. Herbert would definitely find it before all of us. A recording.” While speaking, he glanced at John, implying the fact that the other party had searched the body before the police arrived. “About an hour ago, the police who confirmed Miller’s identity passed a search of his residence on the island. I found this phone; and ten minutes ago, I used the corpse’s thumb fingerprint to unlock the phone's screen ~IndoMTL.com~ and found the recording just now."
"Oh...that's it..." Feng Bujue said, "This is indeed a safe method. If Miller was caught by someone other than the police before and after the crime, and the recording was not on his body, he would not be afraid of the evidence. Destroyed; and once he is formally arrested by the police, he can ask the police to go to his residence to find the phone."
"It's a pity... Miller counts, but he didn't know that he would die..." Two seconds later, Zuo Yan took the conversation again. At this time, his tone changed slightly, and it seemed that It is Vidock who is back online. "Fortunately, he has left enough information to allow me to reason out the truth of the case."
Speaking, he turned his gaze to Sam again.
At this moment, Sam's face is already pale and blue, and the cold sweat on his back has soaked his close-fitting clothes.
Faced with Zuo Yan's stare, Sam didn't speak, he knew very well...this kind of moment, it would be wrong to say more. Although he was already desperate about the situation when he heard the recording, he still grabbed a branch called "Fuck" on the edge of the cliff called "Crash", and it was able to support it without slipping.
"Hmph... now you are quite quiet." Zuo Yan said coldly, "After I proved that you are not'not understanding what I'm talking about' and'you and Miller do know each other'. After the incident...you look a little embarrassed if you behave like this, don’t you?"
Vidock is aggressive, but Sam continues to be chilling.
"Well...In any case, we can finally start talking about your motives..." Zuo Yan paused, and then said, "As I said before, your real motives... Going away from the inheritance that should belong to you', but...'John, a wild species with no blood relationship with you, killed your father and took away the inheritance that should belong to you.'"
