Thriller Paradise Chapter 26: Buying a Murder (Part 1)
"You are right, there is no room for reversal in that inheritance case... After seven years, the available evidence has basically been lost. Whatever we say here can only be an inference." Zuo Yan continued, "This is also the reason why you can maintain such a confident attitude."
"I have no fear, because I have a clear conscience." John's tone was a little smug, "unlike some people..." he said, his eyes moved to Sam, "...immediately People are going to jail for buying murder."
"That's not necessarily." When Feng Bujue intervened, he got up and refilled himself with a glass of red wine. "Many times...something that doesn't need to be questioned at first glance, but its essence and appearance are completely clear. Different."
When he said this, John, Sam, and Dust didn't hear anything famous, they just thought it was a mystery.
But Zuoyan... has smelled a little strange in these words; Vidok, who was hiding in the dark, was shocked at the moment he heard the words... A feeling of being seen through has already made him about to explode. Gross.
"Student Zuo Yan, please continue." Two seconds later, Feng Bujue picked up the refilled red wine glass. As he walked back to his seat, he looked at Zuo Yan and added a sentence.
"Um...Okay." Zuo Yan hesitated and continued, "By this point in time, the situation is clearer... What Miller has mastered is very fatal to John. As long as Mi Le reveals that John has no blood relationship with the old Herbert, so legally, he is an outsider who has no adoption procedures and lives in Herbert’s house without the person’s knowledge.
"In this way... even if the so-called'will' was forged by Sam, it will not have any effect on the order of succession; because the old Herbert never left a real will... Therefore, after determining that the existing will is false, the Herbert family’s property should be distributed in accordance with the general rules of the inheritance law, and the only legal heir to the property is Sam.
"Of course, even so, John is not held in his hands by Miller. After all, John has resources on hand; if Miller stabbed the matter out, John would definitely hire some expensive barristers. Help him fight this lawsuit...Whether it is starting from the'legally recognized factual adoption relationship' or making a fuss about the'limitation of succession law' and other aspects...It cannot be said that there is no chance of winning.
"Undoubtedly, when Miller started blackmailing John, John had already settled this account, but he was guilty of conscience after all... God knows if there are any flaws left in that legacy case, so... …John still gave the money.
"However, he doesn't give much; as a businessman, John is naturally well versed in bargaining skills. He also calculated Miller's account clearly and put it on the table to talk to the other party.
"The same person involved in the case, the same guilty conscience, and shaking things out is not good for Miller... It is nothing more than harming others and detrimental to yourself, plus the new charge of'extortion'... It’s a real tear, but Miller will be even worse.
"So, after some ‘negotiation’, this extortion turned into a charity-like situation.
"For the past three years, John will transfer a sum of money to an overseas account in his own name every month. Of course, the owner of the account is Miller. The amount of this money is not too much, and it is about a middle class person. One month’s salary.
"For John, it didn’t matter at all, he had a higher cost of raising a dog; and for Miller...at least initially, the conditions were good because it was him at the time. At the worst, people who are going to sleep on the streets are usually not picky about money.
"However... it didn't take long for Miller to live a life of food and clothing for nothing, that greedy heart began to haunt...
"After calming down, he must have realized... he clearly holds such a big secret, but only in exchange for leftover benefits; therefore, his unbalanced heart gradually became dissatisfied with life, and then So he vented on social media, and then he wanted to focus on his old business...but he didn’t want to risk abandoning his stable income.
"In the end, all Miller could think of was to go to John to renegotiate, and the result was a strong rejection.
"Just shortly after that happened... he found Sam."
Speaking of this, Zuo Yan was silent for a moment, as if waiting for everyone present to digest this message.
"I understand Miller's motive for finding John. It was for money..." After a while, Feng Bujue was the first to speak, "But what did he want to do when he came to Sam?"
…………
"This guy...has been asking knowingly..." At the same moment, Vidock, who was hiding in the ventilation duct, muttered in his heart.
"What?" No one could hear this, but Zuo Yan could hear him, and he immediately questioned in the way of spiritual dialogue, "Are you talking about Brother Jue?"
"For some reason, he seems to have been guiding our narrative, let us explain the case in as much detail as possible..." Vidock replied, "But in fact...I can feel Get it, he sees as far as I do."
"This..." Zuo Yan thought for a while, "Then he intends to help us?"
"I don't know." Vidock replied, "Anyway...you will repeat it, and I will observe again..."
…………
This person-to-cat inner dialogue ~IndoMTL.com~ others can't hear a word, in their opinion, Zuo Yan just thought for a while without saying a word.
Then, he said: "It's very simple, it's also for money, but the amount and the method of obtaining it have become very different."
"I understand!" Suddenly, Dust yelled out, looking at his suddenly enlightened expression, like a child who has finally solved a super difficult riddle, "Just kill John, and then announce He is not the secret of the old Herbert's own son, so...there is no lawsuit. At least the part of his property that belonged to the Herbert family should be inherited by Sam!"
"Actually, he doesn't make it public." Zuo Yan continued, "From another angle...If Miller doesn't tell the secret, then in the eyes of outsiders, after John's death, the property should be left to him. The only'brother' in the world inherits."
"The truth about John's life experience... is Miller's hole card." At this moment, Sam, with a solemn expression, answered again, "If I get blocked in the process of inheriting the inheritance, he can use that to come back; In addition, when he came to me for the first time, he had already expected... as long as he showed me the cards, I would help him."
