"But … I have to get back to the topic." Feng Bujue also believed that Sam needed more time to think about what he should say and what he should not say, so he took over the conversation and changed the topic. "Mr. Inspector …" He turned to Dowst and said, "This is a murder case. You don't think … you can get away with it without reporting it to the police, do you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Doster replied. "Of course, I know that I have to report it, but …"
"Here's the thing …" John interrupted Doster again. His mentality was similar to Brother Jue's. He was worried that Doster's choice of words would put him in a passive position. "Mr. Feng, you're not a local, so you don't know much about the situation here … Due to the small population of Kochi Koti, the people are simple and honest, and the crime rate is very low. Therefore, there are only a few police officers on duty at the police station on the island at night. Also, this island doesn't have its own police call center … In other words, if I called the public phone to report the case, the first person to answer my call would be an operator far away from the island. I would have to communicate with this operator first, and then he or she would contact the local police station through the dispatch system. After the local police on duty learned that this was a homicide case, they would still have to contact Sheriff Doster …"
"Oh … So, you skipped those steps and contacted the sheriff directly?" Feng Bujue followed the man's train of thought.
"That's right." John nodded. "Even if I didn't call the police but used a private phone to contact him, there is no doubt that my actions should be defined as' notifying the police immediately. 'In fact … what I did should be more efficient than' calling the police. ' As for the further investigation of this case … The sheriff will naturally follow the proper procedures, and I will actively cooperate with the investigation. "
"Hmm …" Feng Bujue said casually, "Simply put, the purpose of you calling the sheriff out alone was to implant some preconceived notions in him, and then let the police carry out the follow-up investigation according to your ideas, right?"
Although he spoke in a relaxed tone, his words were blunt and straight to the point ….
"Watch your words, Mr. Feng …" John said. "You said this without any evidence. I can sue you …"
"Sue who? Sue me? "Feng Bujue didn't let John finish his sentence." Slander? " A smile appeared on his face, which was obviously a sign that his strength was increasing. "Do you have any culture? Do you understand human language? Is English your mother tongue? The sentence I just said and the three sentences I just said … Every one of them was in the tone of a question. Can a 'question' be considered as slander? There's a difference between 'You're a piece of shit' and 'You're a piece of shit, right?' I'm just asking for your opinion on a point of view, and you're using threatening words to deny my question. Tell me, are you feeling guilty or do you have sh * t on you? Do you have a higher chance of winning if you sue me for slander or if I sue you for intimidation? "
"Ugh …" Hardedef's train of thought was originally very clear, but after encountering such a powerful logic attack, his brain was basically left with a pile of sh * t.
"If you want to talk to me about facts, then we'll talk about facts. If you want to talk to me about logic, then we'll talk about logic. Even if you want to talk to me about crime … I can give you a good lesson …" Feng Bujue said as he approached John. "But in terms of criminal investigation and the law … I suggest you don't act cool in this field that I often come into contact with." He spoke quickly, clearly, and aggressively. "Anyone who can file a lawsuit against me alive can be your teacher, and anyone who can complete a lawsuit against me alive will advise you not to seek your own death … My lawyer can make your lawyer cry in court in front of the jury. The number of bizarre victories I've won in civil litigation is enough to destroy your understanding of the entire judicial system …"
While talking, Brother Bujue had come to the corridor, and John had been forced back by him. The back of his head was pressed against the wall.
"Tonight, I will still say a lot and do a lot of reasoning … But if I hear someone use a threatening tone to interrupt me again with slander, I will … Hey! He! Eat! Shit! "
When the last four words came out, Feng Bujue's face was almost touching the tip of John's nose, so when he finished speaking word by word, John's face was already covered in saliva.
In this situation, John's brain inevitably short-circuited.
Indeed, he was a capable businessman and a shrewd criminal, but in the face of this rascal who could completely suppress him in thought, language, and behavior, he was helpless.
"Then …" John was stunned for a full five seconds before he replied, "What … What do you want to do now?"
"Haha …" Feng Bujue smiled and turned to look at Inspector Dowst. "Inspector, from the traces in the room, you should have taken a rough look at the crime scene. No matter what Mr. Herbert led you to come up with … in any case, it is time for you to call your men over, right?"
…
With Feng Bujue's push, things went according to his plan.
In less than half an hour, more than a dozen police officers from Kokuti Island, who had been asleep for a long time, got up from their beds and rushed to their posts as fast as they could. In less than forty minutes, a squad of police cars drove into the Herbert Family's manor.
The police cordon was finally up, and the police officers in charge of collecting evidence started to collect evidence and take pictures of the crime scene. The loud sirens and the mighty formation of police cars were definitely seen by some people. Hence, the onlookers came to watch the show.
The news spread much faster than expected. Even in the wee hours of the morning, there were still many natives of the island gathered outside Herbert's manor and started to talk about it.
Nobody knew who leaked the news (in fact, it was most likely the staff in the manor). The two key pieces of news were "Sam is back" and "someone seems to have died in John's room." Now, the onlookers took out their phones and woke up everyone they knew (of course, they were also natives of the island) from their dreams. Then, they vividly announced the "important news" that they had just heard over and over again.
At one o 'clock in the morning, the incident had reached the point where even the tourists were attracted to it. The entrance of Herbert's manor was almost full of people.
Unsurprisingly, the "Case of the True and False Will" was like a piece of old chewing gum that had yet to dissipate. It was being chewed by the natives of the island.
What was interesting was that … after this incident, many people seemed to be chewing on that piece of candy with a fresh taste …
