Thriller Paradise Chapter 32: The truth (part one)

"I remember you said such a sentence to me..." Feng Bujue watched Barton repeat it, "You said,'When I was young, I had a bright future.'

Brother Jue shook the fax paper in his hand, and said: "And after I get this, I understand everything. You don't want to say it, but you can't say it." He paused, "You are young The beautiful future of the time is closely related to your father."

Feng Bujue turned to face the crowd and said as he walked: "Mr. Patton's mother committed suicide due to depression. I think... if that lady can survive for a few more years, she might become this family. The second mistress, and John can justly follow his father’s last name.

Unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

We can imagine the situation of Ms. Barton back then... She waited year after year for her beloved man to give her a name, but the other party did not intend to divorce at all, and she had a second child with her regular wife. ; When she took her son to enroll in school, the child asked her,'Why do other classmates have father and mother accompanied by two people? ’She couldn’t answer; she couldn’t even explain to her son why she followed her last name.

But she didn't have the ability to leave that man to live alone. She was just a humble junior. All she could do was wait, cry, and make silent protests deep in her heart.

So, in the winter of that year, she chose to end her life in order to gain relief and to occupy a place in the man's heart forever. "

Colston, who was sitting on the seat by the wall, covered his face with his hands, and buried the haughty head deeply.

"Later, the guilty father sent his illegitimate child to a boarding school abroad." Feng Bujue went on to say, "Let this child stay away from him and provide for his mother. At him.

This child grows up day by day. He has learned to be self-reliant very early. He is also very good in all aspects. He has a personality that is far more mature than his peers, but... he always has hatred in his heart.

He is not grateful for everything his father has given him. In his opinion, these are all deserved, and his mother paid for it with her life. In the end, his father just wanted to use money to atone for his sins, instead of paying the family affection.

So, at an appropriate age, the rebellion in the bones of the young Patton finally broke out. A young man with a higher education, outstanding appearance, and promising future became a thief. "

Feng Bujue, with his palm facing up, pointed to Button, "Everyone, please pay attention to my wording-thief." He curled his lips, "Even though Mr. Button himself said to me, he was just a'slip door picker.' Thief’, when he was thirty years old, he spent two years in prison in Pan Dongville... But according to the file I have, he is definitely not a second- and third-rate thief, but the kind that is enough to rank tenth. A top master of Arhat (a film made by Lewis Milestone in 1960, and Steven Soderbergh has a remake of the same name in 21 years)."

"Thank you for the compliment." Button responded coldly.

"You're welcome." Feng Bujue looked at Barton, replied quite naturally, and continued, "As for the days you spent in jail... it was not two years, but ten years, a full ten years. "He let out a long sigh, "You went to jail in your twenties, and you didn't finish serving your sentence until eight years ago. You have no job, no friends, and your father knows this too. As your only relative in this world, He took you in. But his legal sons and daughters are all grown-ups. It is impossible for him to bring home an unknown person and say casually,'Hey! Come and meet your half-brother, Just came out of prison'.

So... you are the gardener here. "

When Feng Bujue said this, he happened to walk to the window. He stopped and remained silent for a while, as if to give the people behind him time to think.

"The moon tonight is really beautiful." After a while, Feng Bujue spoke again, sighing while looking at the night sky outside the window.

The other people in the restaurant are not in the mood to admire the moon. They are full of mixed flavors and do not know how to deal with these sudden changes.

"Then... let's talk about this will." Feng Bujue turned around, "As I said, I have already seen it, and it is because of that I am basically convinced... …Dennis is not Colston’s son."

"Isn't Dennis's name in the will?" Scofield asked, following Brother Jue's thoughts.

"Of course." Feng Bujue pointed to Colston by the wall. "Mr. Lovecraft has always been very good to his relatives. For example, Master Jack and Miss Nancy, regardless of their life choices In any case, Mr. Kolston tried his best to support them, never stingy with money and patience." He tilted his head, "If Jack were my son, he might have starved to death in the first year of'chasing dreams'. Up."

"Hey!" Jack yelled unhappily.

"Haha..." Feng Bujue smiled, "But... what about this master to other people?" He turned to Henderson again, "The man who has an affair with his wife is nearly old , Is still working as his servant, and even engaged in manual labor. Is this just a coincidence? Dennis’s name is not in the will. Could it be that he forgot to write it?"

"You...you know..." Nancy understood immediately, and then looked at her father in surprise.

"Yes, I always knew it." Colston replied in a hoarse voice, "I knew it soon after Dennis was born, but I never told his mother or Henderson about it. ……"

"Henderson, who feels deeply self-blame, spent the rest of his life on atonement. Even though his body is no longer capable of serving as a housekeeper, he still does not want to retire. He just wants to be in this villa... …In the place where the lady and his son lived, working until the day when the oil ran out." Feng Bujue continued, "Kolston’s dignity has been trampled on, and he can’t let it go. Therefore, he also There is no meaning to stop Henderson."

"Huh..." Brother Jue let out a long sigh, "After reading the will, I wondered why Henderson fainted when he saw the corpse. Because... it was his who died. Son."

"I'm sorry, Henderson." Patton turned his head and said to Henderson, "I have no grievances with you, but I have to do this."

Henderson did not respond, but sat silently at the table, his face still pale as paper.

"Yes, you have to do this." Feng Bujue took the conversation. "Because this afternoon, you heard Colston and Dennis talking in the second floor room." He walked back to the table. , Put all the things on the handle back into the paper bag, "Naturally you would not stand in the corridor, sticking to the door panel to eavesdrop, it is too easy to be found. So, you go to the utility room to take the cutting pliers and the ladder, When you came outside the house, you climbed to the tree closest to the room to eavesdrop. In this way, even if you are seen by someone, you can immediately pretend to be doing pruning work."

Brother Jue picked up the last bit of red wine on the table and poured it all into the goblet. "However, the height that the ladder can reach, or the place that ordinary people can climb, is still far from the second floor window. A long distance. That is to say... ordinary people can't hear the conversation in that room even if they climb the tree. Unless..."

"Unless it is someone with special skills." Scofield added a sentence next to him. He also read the Patton file and knew a little about his skills.

"You climbed to the tall branch that only cats can handle, and with your superior hearing, successfully overhears the conversation in the house." Feng Bujue said, "Obviously, Dennis and Coles The reason for Master Dayton’s quarrel was not that he wanted Colston to remove Mrs. Odetta’s name from his will..." He took a sip from the wine glass, “but wanted Colston to take everyone’s name. , All were removed from the will, and then the only one...'Dennis Lovecraft' was added."

Jack, Nancy, and Odetta, the three direct heirs, all face changes suddenly upon hearing this.

"I think Dennis must have passed some way...for example, the lawyer who bought Colston...learned the contents of the will." Feng Bujue continued, "Then, he just needs to pay A few private detectives went out and followed the vines, and it was easy to find out Patton's true identity." He drank the wine in his glass, "Suicidal lover, illegitimate child who has been in jail, rich man with several marriages... Give this story to the gossip tabloid, and it’s not a problem to serialize it for half a year. Dennis undoubtedly used these to intimidate Lord Colston and make him submit."

"No! You nonsense! My Dennis would not do this! Why did he push his father to this point? What is the inheritance? He has married me, our family..." Carol said excitedly stand up.

Feng Bujue interrupted her~IndoMTL.com~You are indeed sad. "

Carol opened her glasses wide, tears rolling in her eyes, she seemed to have realized something, but she still couldn't accept it.

"Dennis, I must have known that he is not Mr. Lovecraft's biological son." Feng Bujue said, "This is undoubtedly what his mother told him before his death, which means... he is still a child. He knew it when he was born. He must faintly hate his biological father and his birthplace, so he is very indifferent to Henderson. He is also very indifferent to his younger brother and sister.

He married a wife who was higher than the Lovecraft family in order to save himself. He would check Colston's will, one because he knew who he was, and two because he knew what the old man was like.

Dennis has no feelings for the nominal father of Kolston. The low self-esteem he buried in his heart far exceeds that of anyone in this house. When he discovered the word "Barton"... please forgive me for the wording... the name of this wild species appeared in the will, and he, who has been the son of others for decades, couldn't get a penny, It is normal for him to act like that.
