Chapter 28 Hiring a Killer (Part 2)

"Miller has definitely been in and out of the Herbert mansion quite a few times. When he was John's assistant, it was common for him to spend the night here. It can be said that he is more familiar with the situation here than many of the staff in this mansion today. Update fastest

"Of course, it has been several years since he last came here as a 'guest'. In addition, Miller is committing a planned crime this time, so he will definitely come to feel the situation inside and outside the mansion beforehand...

"But in any case, combined with some information Sam obtained yesterday afternoon... For Miller, sneaking into this house is not a difficult task.

"Just like that, around ten o'clock in the evening, Miller took advantage of the night and climbed over the wall from an area without surveillance to enter the Herbert Manor, then went all the way to the west side of the mansion and entered the house through an unlocked window on the first floor.

"After all, this is a private residence, not a heavily guarded military facility, and there are only a few security guards; at night, the cleaners and cooks all went back to the side buildings, so no one found Miller after he entered the mansion.

"So Miller came to John's bedroom, which was empty at the time, and hid behind the curtains of the French window.

"On the other hand, Sam... was in the bar of the Alfred Hotel, chatting with a detective he had just met in order to create his alibi.

"At eleven o'clock, the agreed time for action, Sam went to the bathroom of the bar and dialed the phone in John's bedroom with his mobile phone.

"It was an old-fashioned phone with no extensions and call forwarding. Its power supply was also separate from the power system of the mansion; John put this phone in the bedroom to use it as a "dedicated line", and he only gave the number of this phone to a few people.

"So, when John, who was working in the study next door, heard the phone ringing, he got up and went to the bedroom to answer the call.

"At this moment... Miller took action.

"He chose a good position, the curtain was only a few meters away from the table with the phone, and he appeared just behind John.

"However... the accident still happened.

"Miller didn't expect that John, a man who was nearly ten years older than him, was still in good physical strength and reaction speed. After a struggle and fight, John turned sideways and hit Miller's body, while Miller stepped on the carpet, slipped, and hit the corner of the table with the back of his head.

"This collision roughly carried the weight of two adult men, causing irreparable damage to the back of Miller's head, causing him to die on the spot.

"At the same time, Sam, who heard the fight on the other end of the phone, also noticed something was wrong, because the last panting sound he heard... was not Miller's, but John's, who should have been dead.

"After a few seconds, John, who had caught his breath, naturally recognized that the perpetrator was Miller. He quickly realized that there was a certain connection between Sam's sudden visit during the day, the call just now, and Miller's sneak attack. Thinking of this... he quickly hung up the phone.

"What happened afterwards... everyone should be clear."

At this point, Zuo Yan said that the whole case had basically been presented to everyone.

The four people in the room fell into silence again.

"Well..." After a moment, Feng Bujue broke the silence first, "Are you done?"

"Uh..." Zuo Yan was also stunned by the question. He paused for two seconds, wanting to wait and see Vidocq's instructions, but Vidocq didn't say anything, so Zuo Yan could only reply by himself, "Yes, I'm done."

"Ok, then it's my turn to talk now." Feng Bujue shook the red wine glass in his hand and continued in a leisurely tone.

"What else do you want to say?" John looked at Brother Jue, "At this point... do you think you still have a way to help Sam get away with the crime?"

"Get away with the crime? "Brother Jue raised his eyebrows and replied in a relaxed tone, "Is it necessary?" He glanced at Sam, "Sam is not guilty in the first place."

"Huh?" This time, Doster was also dumbfounded. He looked at Brother Jue and complained, "Hey, hey... Didn't you hear a word of what Detective Zuo said just now? The matter has been explained so clearly, and you still say that Sam is innocent?"

"Hehe..." Feng Bujue chuckled, "What he said is very clear, and the logic in all aspects is also very clear, but... where is the evidence?" He paused and looked at John again, "Just like John can confidently deny that he 'had committed murder in the inheritance case' outside of this whole reasoning, as long as there is no evidence, Sam can also deny some of the content in this reasoning, right?"

"But..." Doster thought for a few seconds, "That recording..."

"By the way!" Feng Bujue interrupted loudly, "I was just about to talk about that recording..." He looked at Zuo Yan with a dagger in his smile and said, "Student Zuo Yan, please play the recording in its entirety. "

"Damn..." At this moment, Victor cursed in his heart, "Sure enough, this kid saw through me..."

After Jue Ge finished speaking, Zuo Yan hesitated for a few seconds, then sighed, took out Miller's phone again, and pressed the play button.

Miller's voice came out of the phone again, "I am Pat Miller, it is six o'clock in the afternoon on October 12, and in another hour, I will meet with Sam Herbert..."

This time, Zuo Yan did not press the stop button, but the recording... did not continue.

A few seconds later, John, Sam, and Doster realized something one after another, and their expressions changed.

"Look... As I said..." Feng Bujue shrugged and continued, "Many times... something that seems unquestionable at first glance is actually quite different in essence from its appearance."

"You..." Zuo Yan asked for Victor a second later, "... How did you know that this recording is only this long?"

"It's very simple." Feng Bujue replied slowly, "In your reasoning process, you used a mobile phone three times in total. The first time was to use Miller's mobile phone to show Miller's photo, the second time was to use Miller's mobile phone to play the recording, and the third time... was to use your own mobile phone to show us Miller's speech record on the social networking site.

"Among them, the first and third times, you turned the screen of your mobile phone to show us, only the second time... you didn't do that.

"At first glance, this is normal... because the first and third times you wanted to show the picture, and the second time you wanted to show only the sound; but... when you pressed the stop button, you were a little anxious, and you pressed it almost before the last word fell. This... made me suspicious."
