Thriller Paradise

"Dong Dong Dong!"

A knock on the door snapped Zuo Yan out of his daze.

After hesitating for a second, he walked to the door and said,""May I know who you are looking for?"

"Sorry to disturb you, Sir. I'm a waiter at the bar." The voice that came from outside the door was that of the waiter who had spoken to brother Jue earlier.

"Oh ... What is it?" Zuo Yan replied.

"Did you lose a cat?" The waiter asked.

Zuo Yan's expression changed slightly when he heard this. He peeked through the peephole behind the door. Through the glass, he saw Victor, who was in the arms of the waiter with an unhappy face.

The next second, Zuo Yan opened the door without a second word. He looked at the waiter and smiled awkwardly."Hehe ... I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention and he slipped away. I was looking for him too ..." As he spoke, he reached out to pick up the cat."Where did you find him?" he asked.

"A Mr. Feng found it in a bar. He said you're his friend, so he asked me to bring the cat here." The service staff handed the cat to Zuo Yan and said,"here you go, Sir. If there's nothing else, I'll be going back to work."

"Alright, thank you." Zuo Yan took the cat and said politely,"I'll have to trouble you."

After a brief exchange, the door closed again, leaving the man and cat in the room, looking at each other ...

"Don't be so long-winded," Victork's dead fish eyes were wide open as he spoke to zuoyan through his heart.

"I haven't even said anything yet ..." Zuo Yan replied with a half-smile.

"That's right, there are times when I fail too. " Victor knew what the other party was going to say, so he didn't even want to hear it. "But ... This time, it really wasn't my carelessness ..."

"Oh?" Zuo Yan could tell that he was hinting at something, so he only responded and waited for him to continue.

"Even though from an objective point of view, it seems like I'm just unlucky, but ... I have a feeling that the Feng bujue who calls himself the 'detective' is not as simple as he looks ..."

…………

At the other end of the conversation, he looked at the bar.

"What's wrong? Buddy," Feng bujue studied Sam with suspicion and asked,"you don't look so good."

After coming back from the bathroom, Sam's expression became very strange. It didn't look like an expression after committing a crime, nor did it look like an emotion that was faked for some reason.

Feng bujue soon saw through the truth behind this expression. He was trying to figure out Sam's crime, and there was an accident in the process.

"I ..." Sam only said one word before he fell into hesitation and thought again.

Obviously, some unexpected change had disrupted his original criminal plan, so all the excuses and acting he had prepared in advance ... Had all lost their meaning.

Not everyone had Feng bujue's ability to adapt to the situation with a scary reaction. As a normal person, when faced with a situation where he could be killed if he said anything wrong, he had to think twice and be careful with his words and actions.

"Could it be that ... There's bad news ... From the other side of the phone?" Feng bujue saw that Sam was not responding, so he used some words to try to pry Sam's mouth open.

"Er ..." Sam's eyes darted around before he picked up the small glass of hard liquor on the table that he had not finished. He tilted his head back and finished it in one gulp."Phew ..." After finishing the half glass, he seemed to have made up his mind."Brother Feng ..." He looked at Feng bujue and said,"I think ... Something has happened to my family."

"Current mission completed."

The moment Sam said that, the system's voice sounded in brother Jue's ears.

Feng bujue opened the game menu and looked at the quest tab. At this moment, the second sub-mission under the main mission,[wait for the case to happen], had been ticked. The third sub-mission,[get involved in the investigation of "John Herbert's murder", had appeared under it.

"What?" When he saw the quest, Feng bujue's heart skipped a beat."John Herbert's murder case?" He couldn't help but think to himself, shouldn't this guy be the victim?

After the 'visit' on the island that afternoon, Feng bujue had heard about the Heber family's inheritance dispute. He had seen Sam's picture at that time. That was why Feng bujue was able to recognize Sam when he ran into him at the elevator.

The reason why Brother Jue and Victor came to the conclusion that Sam might be involved in some kind of crime was because ... They had both seen the money in Sam's shirt pocket.

It was a very, very thick stack of money ...

It was so thick that it couldn't be stuffed into the inner pocket or trouser pocket of his suit, so Sam could only put it in the outer pocket of his suit and try to block his walk with his hands.

Under normal circumstances, such a cover was enough. Other than pickpockets, no one would stare at other people's pockets all day long.

However, in front of people like Feng bujue and Victor, this would definitely be exposed.

Anyone who entered their line of sight would become an existence like a "sample of reasoning." This was their instinct ... They had already developed the habit of "observation" and "deduction", and their proficiency had reached a level that ordinary people would find difficult to achieve even if they put their heart and soul into it. To them, the deduction method was a common sense for them to communicate with the world, no different from breathing.

Therefore, the brand new hat, the hurried way he walked, the thoughtful expression, the thick stack of cash, and the identity of 'Sam Herbert'... All these information that was gathered in the blink of an eye had evolved into the same conclusion in Feng bujue and Victor's minds within a few seconds. They were afraid that this guy was going to do something.

However, at that time, Victor had deduced more than Feng bujue because he had a better understanding of the legacy.

In the next few hours, from the time Feng bujue entered the room to the time he arrived at the bar, brother Jue used the phone that he had with him to go online and investigate the Herbert family's legacy case. In the end, he came up with the same conclusion as Victor, and he managed to catch up with the other party in terms of intelligence.

At this point, the two sides had come to the same starting line, and they had come up with the hypothesis of "the younger brother hiring a killer."

However, the actual development of this matter was beyond everyone's expectations ... Including Sam himself.

"Don't panic ..." Three seconds later, Feng bujue quickly calmed down. Putting on a very loyal and reliable look, he said to the man who he had 'met by chance',"what is it? tell me first ..."
