Chapter 1372: Motive (part one)
Translator: 549690339
Feng bujue’s threat … Gave people a strange feeling. After all, what he said did not sound like something that could be done in reality.
To make an analogy, this was like a curse that we often heard in our daily lives: “F * ck you.” That was what they said … But no one had ever really put it into action.
However, if brother Jue had said that, the situation would have been different …
Even though John and Feng bujue had only known each other for a few hours, the latter’s behavior during that time and his aggressive and unconcealable temperament forced John to consider the risk of Feng bujue turning some of his ‘threats that sounded ridiculous’ into reality.
“Alright … Please continue.” After thinking for a few seconds, John pouted and said to Zuo Yan in a cold tone,”!!
Zuo Yan didn’t stand on ceremony with him and continued the previous topic. He began to relay Victor’s words in his mind,””If I’m not mistaken … Everyone here, other than Feng …” He paused for a moment because in the spirit chat, Victor had addressed brother Jue as ‘Feng bujue’, but it was Zuo Yan who was speaking.”…Other than brother Jue …” Zuo Yan changed his words in time.”The others should be familiar with the case. After all, two of you were involved, and the remaining one is Sergeant dauste, as the officer of law enforcement on the island. He’s undoubtedly the first person who handled the case. ”
“So … Why do you want to bring up the past?” John mumbled again.
“But!” Zuo Yan also changed the topic and gave a corresponding reason.”The so-called ‘understanding’ is only relative. The same ‘one plus one’ math problem has a completely different meaning in the eyes of elementary school students and mathematicians … Similarly, I believe … This case has a completely different meaning in the minds of you, Sam, and Daxter.
“And what I have to do now … Is to restore the original appearance of the case as completely as possible, so that everyone present can see it in the same way, and then we can discuss the topic of this murder case more smoothly.”
When he heard that, Feng bujue was overjoyed because he thought … Based on this development, I might use a different way of narrating the previous chapters five to seven, or the will mystery (part one)(part two)(part two), to fill in three or more chapters.
Unfortunately, he was wrong.
Here, I will use a simple section to skip this already described plot, to show my rigorous attitude towards the work and extremely professional ethics.
Thus, Zuo Yan told them everything that Victor had told him about the inheritance case from start to finish. As he spoke, John, Sam, and dawist naturally interrupted him more than once due to surprise, guilt, and sudden enlightenment. Of course, in the end, he still finished explaining the entire case.
If no one had interrupted Zuo Yan, he might have been able to finish this in ten minutes. But in reality, he had been talking for a whole twenty-five minutes.
Fortunately, for the audience who were reading the novel, it didn’t matter whether it was ten minutes or twenty-five minutes … In their eyes, it was just a hundred words.
Regarding this situation, Feng bujue was very dissatisfied. The content could have been six to seven thousand words, three whole chapters, but it had been compressed to only three percent. This cast a shadow over his future, but … He could do nothing about it.
“That’s my opinion on the will case. ” Twenty-five minutes later, Zuo Yan used this sentence to announce the conclusion of his earlier deduction.
“That’s just your ‘opinion’,” John emphasized the two keywords.”At the end of the day … These are all speculations. First, there is no ready-made evidence. Second, there is no means to prove it. Compared to the Supreme Court’s verdict, it’s a joke. ”
“Hmph …” Sam sneered and said,”of course you hope that these are all ‘jokes.'”
“You two … Enough is enough.” At this time, it was Feng bujue who stepped in to stop the two from arguing further.”Whether it’s a joke or the truth … From a realistic point of view, it’s not important anymore. Zuo Yan must be well aware of this …”He paused for a second and looked at Zuo Yan,” due to the long period of time that had passed, all the relevant evidence and witnesses of the case … Have been buried by the merciless passage of time. Even if there’s a part that’s been preserved, it’s already lost its effectiveness. ”
“Yes, brother Jue is right.” Zuo Yan nodded.”What we’re going to discuss next doesn’t need to rely on my reasoning to prove it, but … It’s still possible to use it as a logical base to explain certain problems …”
“You mean a motive?” The person who asked the question was dawst.
It seemed like the chief Officer was quite capable. Even though he was slightly tipsy after listening to Zuo Yan’s explanation for half an hour, he was still able to react quickly to criminal investigation-related situations.
Zuo Yan also glanced at Daxter in surprise before replying,”Yes, I am.” As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Sam.”Although I can also say that ‘the victim was incited by Sam to kill John’ as the opening remark of this conversation, if I do that … Everyone’s understanding of the motive may be biased.”
“What?” This time, Daxter was shocked. Even if he could keep up with the other party’s train of thought in theory, when it came to the actual case … He really couldn’t learn the kind of evasive thinking of a famous detective.”You said Sam is …”
“Don’t you think this is ridiculous, Mr zuoyan?” Sam didn’t wait for the sergeant to finish speaking. He said to Zuo Yan in a cold tone,”if you want to use ‘John stole my inheritance’ to support your reasoning … The so-called ‘my motive’, then I have to ask … Why didn’t I commit any crimes in the past few years? What reason do I have to wait for so many years? it’s been so long since the incident, and then I’ll do such a thing?”
“It’s very simple. ” Zuo Yan said,”because your motive wasn ‘t’ John snatched away the inheritance that should have belonged to you ‘. In fact, you’re only saying this to lure us … To cover up your real motive, right?”
His tone sounded confident. It was obvious that victork had given him a very convincing answer in his mind, which was …
