Thriller Paradise Chapter 5: The Mystery of the Will (Part 1)

The words are divided into two ends, and then look at Zuo Yan's room.

"Huh--" After closing the door, Zuo Yan took a deep breath and said, "This day is an airplane and a boat...Finally, I can take a break..."

While speaking, his right shoulder consciously tilted, allowing the sports bag on his shoulder to slide down to the ground.

At the same time, Vidoc just climbed out of the sports bag, and poured cold water on Zuo Yan in his usual poisonous tone: "But I don't think you can rest for long."

"Huh?" As soon as Zuo Yan's **** touched the bed, he heard such a sentence, naturally his expression changed slightly, "Why?"

"Remember the guy we met at the elevator door?" Vidock didn't answer his question directly, but instead lost a question and went back.

"You mean... Brother Jue?" Zuo Yan continued.

"Are you an idiot?" Vidock jumped onto the bed, emptied his cat's eyes, and replied angrily, "I said it was the'elevator door', that Feng Bujue was we walked over.' I just met in the elevator, didn’t you?"

"The door?" Zuo Yan was suspicious, "Have we met anyone before entering the elevator?"

His reaction is also natural...

Although there are not many people in the hotel lobby at this time, there are still more than a dozen employees and guests who come and go. If you have to say how many people you "meet", then every one of them has Anyone who appeared in his line of sight and within ten meters of his body could be counted in the category of "meeting".

However, as far as a normal person is concerned, it is impossible for us to remember the appearance of every passerby who once appeared around us. Even if we want to remember... I am afraid we have no such ability.

Siccai, from the time Zuo Yan left the front desk, until he came to the area in front of the elevator door, he had not spoken to anyone, not even making eye contact; when he got to the elevator, it was just right. Seeing an elevator door that was about to close, he shouted loudly and rushed in.

So... he didn't notice at all. When he ran to the elevator, a middle-aged man passed him by.

"I'll help you remember..." Vidock licked his paw, and then said to Zuo Yan through a mental dialogue, "A white man in his forties, about six feet tall, in a dark suit. , A brand new Panama hat..."

"Hmm..." Zuo Yan groaned after hearing this.

After all, it is a short-term memory. Under Vidoc's reminder, Zuo Yan also seems to recall some vague impressions: "After you say so...it seems like there is such a person."

"Forget it..." Vidock answered, "Don't remember, just listen to me..."

Viddock didn’t let Zuo Yan think any further, because he had already seen that Zuo Yan probably hadn’t paid attention to that person at all. Considering the memory bias caused by the "fuzzy trace theory", instead of letting Zuo Yan stay Looking back on this state, it is better to directly give him reliable information-that is, the information that Vidoc had observed himself.

"Although the guy pressed the brim of the hat very low, he could still see his entire face from my perspective, so I recognized it at a glance..." Vidock continued, "... He is Sam Herbert."

"Herbert?" Zuo Yan heard the name "Sam" for the first time, but he had naturally heard of the last name.

"Yes." Vidock responded, "It's Herbert..." He paused, "Sam Herbert, is John Herbert's younger brother."

"Uh..." Zuo Yan thought for a while, "I know his brother's name, he is the current president of Herbert Company, but this'Sam'... how did you know him?"

"I don't know him." Vidoc said, "I just saw a photo of him in a news report. It was an article about an inheritance battle. The content was more bloody. I think you can basically guess the plot when I say the word'heritage'..."

Zuo Yan thought for two seconds, then continued: "Is it right... After the death of the old Herbert, he left all the inheritance to the elder son, so the second son refused to accept it and took his elder brother to court, and finally lost the case. "

"Um..." Vidock also groaned, and then, "...No."

"Huh?" Zuo Yan was taken aback. He obviously didn't expect that he had guessed wrong.

"On the contrary." Vidock continued, "After the death of old Herbert, a will found in his safe shows that he left all his property to the second son, and the eldest son had one son. I can't get any of them."

"So..." Zuo Yan followed the other side's thoughts and said, "In fact, John took Sam to court?"

"Yes." Vidock said, "John hired a very good lawyer, claiming that the will was forged by Sam and demanding that Sam be deprived of his inheritance rights."

"From the current situation...he seems to have succeeded." Zuo Yan continued.

"Yes." Victor paused for half a second before continuing, "Even though the will has Old Herbert's signature, and the key to the safe has been carried by Old Herbert~ IndoMTL. com~ But in the end... John still won the lawsuit."

"This also works?" Zuo Yan asked suspiciously.

"Ha!" Vidock lay down on the bed sheet and began to lick his fur comfortably, while smiling, "What's wrong with this? Only the signature part of the will is handwritten, and the other content is a set. The old typewriter typed it out, and John’s lawyer only had to make a fuss about the argument “Sam imitated the signature of the deceased.” As for the key to the safe...that’s not a problem at all; the Herbert’s mansion is very large, and his two The son can go back to live at will, if he wants to re-engrave a key... there are opportunities."

"Even so...this lawsuit is not so easy to judge, right?" Zuo Yan continued.

"Well...you are right. It stands to reason that the court's judgments are very cautious in cases like this involving a huge amount of inheritance." Victor continued, "In addition to the existing physical evidence, They will also consider many other factors, for example... As early as five years before the death of the old Herbert, John had already opened his own investment company, and he was already a well-known young talent in the business world; and Sam He has always been a well-known playboy. In a year, he stays at home for only one or two months, and the rest of the time basically spends money and fun all over the world. Coincidentally... it was the last time in Sam. In the month when he returned home, the old Herbert died of illness, and then the inheritance appeared in front of everyone."

"That is indeed quite suspicious..." Zuo Yan said, "The time spent at home is obviously enough for him to forge his will."

"The judge thought so too." Vidock's story is not over yet. In fact, the exciting part is just about to come. "So... after obtaining the consent of the Herbert brothers, the police used the The most advanced technology, appraised the will..."
