Chapter 19 Reasoning Starts Quickly

As expected, the person knocking on the door was Sheriff Doster; he just knocked on the door a few times and then pushed the door open. Updated the fastest

"Wow~ You really drank." As soon as he entered the room, the sheriff's eyes fell on the bottle of wine in front of Feng Bujue, and he complained.

At this time, the expression on the face of the sheriff had become very relaxed, and behind this "relaxation" was an undisguised attitude of "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water".

No matter how much benefits Doster received from John on weekdays, no matter how much he feared the power of the Herbert family on the island... After the call from the Minister of the Interior, these factors no longer existed.

Zuo Yan conveyed a message to the sheriff with his actions. John Herbert's power, on this island, may be at the king level; but in front of the real powerful people, he is just a cannery owner with a little money at home.

"Mr. Sheriff, you're just in time." When Feng Bujue saw Doster, he smiled and said enthusiastically, "How about we try this bottle of 'flower buds' worth hundreds of thousands of pounds?"

"Ha!" Doster laughed dryly when he heard this. Obviously, he took Brother Jue's words as a joke, "Okay, this kind of wine is worth more than the total amount of my pension. After drinking it, I can see God, right?"

As he spoke, the sheriff turned to the wine cabinet and took out a glass. Then he walked to the sofa next to Brother Jue.

It seems... he really intends to drink.

On the other hand, Zuo Yan and Sam also followed the sheriff to this room; they walked in one after the other, not hurriedly, and from the looks of the two, they also had their own thoughts...

When they entered the room, John had regained his usual calmness, so these people didn't know about the storm about red wine just now.

"So... how is the current progress?" After the three people sat down, Feng Bujue looked up at Zuo Yan and asked this question.

Logically, this matter should be asked to Dost, after all, he is the person in charge of the scene.

But Feng Bujue asked Zuo Yan directly... or rather, asked Victor.

Because Brother Jue knew very well that, apart from himself, the person (cat) closest to the "truth" at the scene was only Victor; even John and Sam, who were the parties involved, might not understand the whole incident as well as Brother Jue and Victor, the two bystanders.

"Well..." Zuo Yan pondered for two seconds, and then continued, "There is no doubt that this is a simple case."

Just this opening remark made Feng Bujue sure of one thing. At this moment, the person (cat) who was talking to him was not Zuo Yan, but Victor.

Zuo Yan was a calm person. Only in some sudden critical situations would he become decisive and even aggressive; in normal times... he often had a lukewarm attitude and was very humble in dealing with people; based on Feng Bujue's understanding of Zuo Yan, the latter would never say such arrogant lines as "simple case".

But Vidocq is different. This cat is extremely conceited. His catchphrase is "I am Vidocq". He often uses these five words to answer some questions raised by Zuo Yan.

Why are you here? How did you do it? How do you know he is the murderer? How do you infer this motive?

Such questions are often asked by Zuo Yan to Vidocq. Although not every time, there are still many times... Vidocq answers with "I am Vidocq".

It's like you ask Batman "How did you catch the criminal?"

At this time, Batman doesn't need to talk nonsense with you about the reasoning and action process. He just needs to reply to you: "because_i\'m_batman!"

The situation of Vidocq... is the same; for a detective like him, conceit and ability are proportional, and he does have the capital to be arrogant.

At the moment, he is using the dialogue of the mind to tell what he wants to say through Zuo Yan's mouth.

Others naturally couldn't have imagined that... Zuo Yan was actually repeating the words of a cat that was hiding somewhere, but Jue Ge, the creator of these two characters, knew it very well.

"Ha!" As soon as Zuo Yan finished speaking, Doster, who had already drunk half a glass of red wine, gave another signature dry laugh and interrupted, "It seems that our famous detective is going to start a reasoning show. I have only seen this kind of scene in movies, and I didn't expect to experience it in person today."

"Yeah... I'm looking forward to it too." The next second, Sam also followed up with a tone that was three parts playful and seven parts expectant.

In fact, at this point, he didn't need to speak, but unfortunately... Sam was not a smart and skilled criminal, and he was inevitably guilty; so he used this pretending to be relaxed tone and said this sentence to cover up his nervousness and uneasiness.

In this regard, Feng Bujue had no better way to deal with it except to feel anxious for him. This was really a rhythm that a stupid teammate could not lead...

The meaning behind Sam's action, let alone detectives of the level of Jue Ge and Victor, even Zuo Yan and Sheriff Doster could see it; as for John... He had determined from the beginning that today's incident was related to Sam, and he could identify everything Sam did.

In short, Sam's speech had no other meaning except making himself more suspicious in front of everyone...

"So..." After a short but awkward silence, Zuo Yan spoke again and relayed for Vidocq, "In order to better let everyone here understand the process of this case, I will follow the chronological order. … Let’s tell the whole story about the whole case.”

At this point, he paused and adjusted his breathing.

Feng Bujue knew that this was actually Zuo Yan waiting for Vidocq to finish his next sentence; since spiritual communication also takes time, listening to the voice in his mind while relaying it is also a difficult skill; even if Zuo Yan Yan is now very proficient, but it is difficult to avoid the interference caused by the overlap between his own speaking voice and the voice in his head.

"To explain today's case, first of all, we have to mention the inheritance dispute case involving the Herbert family many years ago." Zuo Yan continued two seconds later.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, John interrupted him: "Mr. Zuo...is this matter going too far?"

Before Zuo Yan could reply, Sam sneered and said, "Hmph...what? Are you afraid that something ulterior will be revealed?"

"Gentlemen!" Feng Bujue interrupted them decisively, "Pay attention to your image, you are gentlemen, not shrews..." He said, then looked at John, "Mr. Herbert, if you... "It's too far-fetched and I can't come up with a more appropriate and sufficient reason, so please let Zuo Yan finish..." After he said this, he paused for half a second and added, "Otherwise I will Feed you shit." (To be continued...)
