Chapter 8: "Encounter" At the Bar

The night is getting darker. The fastest update

The night on the island must be romantic, at least for those who have lived in big cities for a long time, being able to see the clear starry sky is enough for them to be poetic and picturesque.

But for the natives, the sound of the tide and the starlight are just their daily life, and there is nothing else except that they can associate it with the weather.

At 9:30 pm, Feng Bujue walked into the bar on the top floor of the Alfred Hotel.

As soon as he entered the room, he quickly scanned the environment in the entire bar and found Sam Herbert at the most conspicuous position at the bar counter.

"Sure enough, it's here..." Feng Bujue whispered softly while walking over.

According to Brother Jue's speculation, Sam will definitely appear in a place with many people and eyes tonight, and try to leave an impression on others. Seeing this... I guess everyone has guessed that this guy is going to create an "alibi".

Considering that Kochikoti Island is only a small place, and it is the tourist season now, this bar is undoubtedly the best choice.

First of all, whether there are customers or not, this place will be open until the early morning; while other taverns on the island, if there are not many customers, the owner may send the remaining drunkards home and close the door.

Secondly, most of the guests in the hotel bar are from outside the island. These people come from all over the world and are strangers to Sam. Once something happens, the testimony provided by these people will be much more reliable than the confessions of the island residents.

Thirdly, and most importantly, there are many camera probes in the Kochikoti Hotel. Even if there is a chance that the testimony of people is not useful, Sam can still rely on physical evidence to prove his whereabouts.

Of course, it must be said that Sam Herbert's luck is not very good; because, today, this hotel happens to have two top-notch detectives, Feng Bujue and Victor, and both of them have recognized Sam after only seeing him once, and smelled a hint of "crime".

"Can I sit here?" Feng Bujue came to the bar and greeted Sam in a very ordinary tone.

Sam heard this, turned his head and glanced at Brother Jue.

After a brief hesitation, he suddenly showed a warm smile and replied, "Of course, my friend."

"Thank you." Feng Bujue said, and he moved sideways onto the high stool, and slowly extended his right hand to the other party, "Feng Bujue."

Sam also naturally reached out and shook hands with Brother Jue: "You can call me Sam."

At first glance, this was a very common encounter; the eyes, words, and actions of the two people... There was nothing unusual.

No matter who saw this scene, they would think that this was just a scene of "two strange men accidentally meeting in a bar."

And the bartender who was walking up quickly thought so.

"Sir, what would you like to order?" The bartender asked Brother Jue a question in a very professional manner.

Feng Bujue heard the voice and moved his eyes to the bartender.

He was a middle-aged man who looked close to fifty years old; a neatly slicked back hair, a well-trimmed beard, a crisp shirt and a suit vest, and... his age, all revealed a message that this man relied on professional skills, not appearance, to get by here.

"Mix it up in a way that you think is suitable for me." Feng Bujue gave a very clever answer. He quickly caught the smile on the bartender's lips and the joy in his eyes.

"Wait a minute, sir." The bartender responded and turned around to get busy.

Although Feng Bujue didn't like dealing with people, he could easily please others if he wanted to.

Because he understood human nature...

The best chefs would design their own menus, and the same applies to "bartenders"; people with excellent skills and confidence in this kind of creative field would probably not resist the request of "giving me a surprise". Using their own works to gain people's admiration is the way these people get satisfaction. In many cases, this is even greater than the satisfaction that money can bring them.

"From your accent... you don't seem to be a local?" After the bartender left, it was Sam who took the lead in talking to Feng Bujue.

"Hehe... Aren't all the people here tourists?" Feng Bujue replied with a smile, "Eh? Could it be... you are a local?"

Jue's response made Sam immediately realize that his first sentence was wrong: "Well... hehe..." He also laughed twice, with a hint of embarrassment and regret in his laughter, "When I was young, I stayed here for a while, and then left for some reasons. Counting it all... I haven't been back for many years."

He didn't lie, but he responded with a tone and statement that didn't want to go deeper into this issue.

"Oh..." Seeing this, Feng Bujue also "tactfully" changed the topic. He shrugged and said, "Everyone has a young time..." His tone was like a steady man in his forties, but his face revealed that he was "definitely less than thirty years old". "Those years were mostly accompanied by many memories and bad luck that even we ourselves think are stupid."

"You are so right!" Sam agreed with Jue's words from the bottom of his heart, and the expression on his face seemed to say "begging for poisonous chicken soup".

But Feng Bujue's heart was not moved at all... He even felt like laughing.

From the moment he walked over, he was aware of every thought in Sam's heart.

The initial "hesitation" was Sam's normal reaction, but the "enthusiasm" that followed was because he just needed to "chat with strangers"; Jue Ge knew from the beginning that as long as he talked to Sam, the latter would definitely go with the flow and chat with him, so he didn't need to deliberately cater to the other party... just use the "most ordinary and natural" way to negotiate.

If nothing unexpected happens, within the next few hours, a "case" will occur somewhere on this island... At that time, Feng Bujue will become Sam's "alibi witness". If he plays this role, he can naturally intervene in the "case" and even influence the police investigation through testimony.

It can be said that this is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone.

And this is something Zuo Yan can't do; even if Victor and Jue Ge... deduced that Sam might appear in the bar tonight and told Zuo Yan this information, Zuo Yan would not be able to walk in and contact him like Jue Ge did. Because in this script world, most countries in Western Europe only allow people over 21 to enter bars, and Zuo Yan... is 19 this year.

However, Feng Bujue also thought that in addition to letting "people" to investigate, the two had another way...
