“I … Attempted murder?” John looked at brother Jue in disbelief and repeated, me? Deliberately? Murder?” Every time he said a word, he had to raise the tone.
“Yes,” Feng bujue’s finger was still pointed at John.”It’s you!”
“Ha …” John laughed out of anger. This dry laugh was almost squeezed out from the tip of his throat, and it sounded like someone had stepped on his kidney.”Okay … Okay … Then you can explain to me … Miller, the ‘victim’…” He raised his hands and made a quotation mark.”Why did he sneak into my house in the middle of the night and attack me from the back with the murder tools?”
“Good question,” The fact that Feng bujue could say that meant that he already had an answer in mind.”Actually, this is very easy to explain … First, he did not sneak into your house but you let him in. Secondly, he didn’t bring any tools with him, and you were the one who placed the fis.h.i.+ng line at the scene. Third, he didn’t attack you from behind, but you attacked him from the front. ”
This time, even Zuo Yan couldn’t understand. John, Sam, and dawst were even more dumbfounded.
!!
“Er … Brother Jue …” Zuo Yan’s brain was faster than the other three. Several seconds later, he was the first to ask,”then, in our deduction … The part about ‘Miller coming to kill Sam’ has been denied by you, right?”
“At the end of the day … The two different versions of reasoning that we just heard are just speculations made in the early stages of the case, before the investigation and evidence collection work is fully carried out.” Feng bujue repeated John’s words from a few minutes ago without missing a single word. Then, he threw John a condescending look.”You … Said that yourself, right?”
“Phew …” John needed to let out a long breath before he could answer the question.”Yes …”
He didn’t want to say another word, so he gave a concise and comprehensive answer.
“Now, let’s re-a.n.a.lyze the ‘part of the content’ in my deduction.” Feng bujue’s eyes scanned the crowd and continued,”is Miller’s motive for killing John … That good?”
When he heard that, Zuo Yan was shocked by brother Jue’s words.”My brother … He overthrew his own reasoning … This is the first time I’ve seen him do this …”
“Think about it. Can the recording he has really be used to threaten Sam?” Feng bujue continued,”just based on that one sentence, what can it prove?” He spread his hands and shrugged.”Anyone can use a mobile phone or other equipment to record a voice recording and say that they are going to see someone next … For example, I can record a voice recording now and say that I am going to meet the Queen of United Kingdom later. After I finish recording, I will go to the street and kill someone randomly. Then, I will take out the voice recording. Can this prove that the Queen ordered me to do this?”
“Uh …” Daxter thought for a moment and said,”now that you’ve said it … It makes sense.”
“So, the truth is that Miller didn’t have enough motive to kill John.” Feng bujue made use of this opportunity to come up with a conclusion.
“Tsk … Isn ‘t’ contract killing ‘the motive?” Victor, who was in the dark, would not be led by brother Jue. His thoughts were clear from the beginning to the end. At that moment, he immediately said in his heart, first, use a deduction to overthrow the part of my deduction that you don’t want to admit, keep the part that you want to use, and then use another deduction to overthrow the part that you don’t want to keep in your own deduction.”In essence … This guy is just using logical methods to repeatedly prove his hypothesis, giving people the illusion that it is based on logic and evidence, and in the end, he managed to extract a ‘truth’ that he had thought of from the very beginning …” With that in mind, Victor could not help but laugh.”Ha … Feng bujue … You are definitely the most shameless detective I have ever met, but you might also be the most capable one I have ever met.”
Victor didn’t tell Zuo Yan about this through telepathy. He didn’t want to show Zuo Yan the feeling of “meeting a worthy opponent”.
Therefore, no one could hear this cat detective’s a.n.a.lysis of brother Jue.
“Then … How do you explain the series of events that happened yesterday?” On the other hand, Daxter asked a rather constructive question.
“It’s easy to explain. ” Feng bujue said,”if we look at it from the perspective of the three people involved, the situation is very clear. First of all, it was to see that Sam had been blackmailed by Miller to come to the island to pay. However, after going to the island, Sam decided to make up with John at the last minute, so he visited John during the day yesterday and paid Miller money at dusk. At night, he was drinking at a bar when he met me.
“Besides, Miller encouraged him to blackmail Sam and John at the same time. Why did he ask Sam to come to the island to give him money this time? Because he happened to be on the island these few days. What was it? Naturally, he wanted to negotiate with John and extort more.
“At dusk, after Miller took Sam’s money, he waited at his residence. He only went to Herbert’s Manor late at night.
“From here on, let’s look at it from John’s point of view. John has been blackmailed by Miller for a long time, and Miller has asked for more money from him more than once in the past year. John felt that it was not a good idea to drag this out. The secret of his birth was in the hands of someone like Miller, and the extortion would be endless … In order to’ solve the problem ‘once and for all, John and Miller agreed to negotiate again.
“Just like that … Last night, at around Teno’ clock, Miller came to this mansion as promised. Of course, John wouldn’t let Miller enter through the front door, so he had left him a path to enter. It was a piece of cake for the homeowner.
“While the two were talking, John, who was prepared, suddenly pounced at Miller. He probably had other weapons prepared, but he didn’t expect that … His crash would kill Miller on the corner of the table.
“At this time, Sam’s call came. Worried that the phone’s ringing would attract the staff in the house, John had to pick up the phone immediately. After hearing Sam’s voice, John had an idea and thought of a way to frame him …
“So, John started to imitate the sounds of two people fighting. Anyway, he was just panting and didn’t need to speak. Even if he retrieved the recording afterward, he wouldn’t be able to find any flaws.
“After the act, John hung up the phone and got rid of the weapon he wanted to use. He then took a fis.h.i.+ng line from the house and left a strangulation mark on his neck to create the illusion of legitimate self-defense.
“After everything was settled, he picked up the same phone and dialed chief Daxter’s private number. He then tried to use his relations.h.i.+p with the chief to lead the case in the direction he wanted it to go. As a result, a lot of evidence against him was not kept or buried for various reasons.
“Just like … The inheritance case back then.”
