Chapter 63: No Reasoning Without Evidence
Zhao Ruoxi relied on his superb observation skills cultivated in his years of detective career to confirm that the person Ye Chen was referring to was one of the suspects; Chen Xuan relied on the first-mover advantage to collect a lot of evidence, and had already locked the scope of the suspect among the two people including this person; Not to mention the remaining murderer, he knows what he did best, so among all the people at the scene, these three people are the most surprised.
As for the rest of the onlookers, it was naturally a layman who watched the excitement, and expressed stern doubts about Ye Chen's quick conclusion, and some of them had even condemned it.
And Mao Li, a senior cadre of the detective agency who had not spoken out before, was a little overjoyed at this time, Ye Chen's behavior was simply digging a hole for himself, and at the same time giving him a perfect reason to 'educate' Ye Chen. As a veteran who knows this well, Mao Li will naturally not let go of this great opportunity in vain.
Holding back the pleasant smile that rose from the bottom of his heart, Mao Li pretended to look at Ye Chen with a stern and reproachful expression, and at the same time made a gesture to the two followers beside him.
The two followers suddenly understood, and without any scruples, they sneered and said: "It's really worthy of an unprecedented negative level newcomer in our community, and you are a murderer at any point, are you a god of heavenly machines?"
"Detectives aren't like that, you better quit the company as soon as possible, you don't have talent for this." Another chimed in.
The onlookers also nodded in agreement when they heard this.
Regarding everyone's reaction, Ye Chen shook his head, withdrew his hand, and didn't say any explanation, looking speechless to everyone. Although he didn't say a word, it was just such a casual action, but it was a clear expression of Ye Chen's attitude, his speechlessness and ignorance of these people who didn't believe him. This is completely an invisible group ridicule skill, which suddenly detonated everyone's feelings, and the accusation was even worse, and Zhao Ruoxi, who was watching from the crowd, was also speechless.
Just as Zhao Ruoxi was about to come forward in person to stop the commotion caused by Ye Chen, and by the way, he would resume his old business and make a cameo appearance as a detective, one person stood up first, with less arrogance and more sincerity on his face.
It was Detective Maoli who realized that the time was ripe, and his followers took the lead to isolate Ye Chen, causing everyone's indignation. What he didn't expect was that Ye Chen was so cooperative, he didn't say anything, but instead used a group mockery's speechless skill to push his plan to the pinnacle of maturity. He felt it was time to stand up and establish a shining image of himself.
"Everyone, be quiet." Mao Li shouted loudly and waved his hand to suppress the bustling crowd.
"After all, Ye Chen has just joined our detective agency, and this is the first time he has dealt with a case, which is indeed a bit too irresponsible, but fortunately, I am still here, and I promise that I will not let the real murderer go unpunished today." The first half of Mao Li's words clearly pointed out that this was just Ye Chen's lack of ability and irresponsibility, and the second half directly turned a corner to show everyone his existence. This comparison between before and after does not make his public image even higher.
After Mao Li expressed his intentions to the outside world, he immediately turned to Ye Chen's position again, thought about it in his heart, and said the didactic lines that he thought were very handsome in the tone of his predecessors: "Ye Chen, as a senior old man of the detective agency here, I will teach you that you can't reason without getting any evidence, in that case, you can only go astray." ”
After saying this line, which he thought was very handsome and good, Mao Li really felt very good about himself, and his head was about to rise to the sky. Mao Li's sentence naturally did not come up with by himself, it was one of the lines of the protagonist in a novel more than two centuries ago that he accidentally turned over, and he thought it was very good, so he wrote it down.
He has always been looking forward to having such an occasion, saying this line in a handsome posture, and then stunning the four, and today, Ye Chen has created such an excellent opportunity for him.
In fact, he also succeeded, the most classic detective novel two or three centuries ago, if there is no interest in this area, there really will be no impression, Mao Li's words are indeed very appropriate to the situation in front of him. There were also many people in the crowd who resonated with him because of his words and couldn't help but admire. Except for Zhao Ruoxi and Ye Chen.
Zhao Ruoxi looked at Mao Li with a strange face at this time, quite contemptuous. As a veteran detective, Zhao Ruoxi certainly knows the origin of Mao Li's sentence just now, which is one of the classic lines of Sherlock Holmes, a detective character written by a novelist named Conan Doyle in the late nineteenth century. What Mao Li said at the moment is exactly the same as that line, if it is to add his own adaptation, it is understandable that he is so proud, but now, this is obviously deceiving these laymen who don't understand.
Ye Chen's focus is completely different from Zhao Ruoxi's, Ye Chen himself is from other worlds, for this world was so small before, how could he take the time to understand the things that were out of the door? What Ye Chen noticed was that this sentence was completely wrong in the current situation.
If there is a mistake, then point it out, Ye Chen didn't beat around the bush so much, and still maintained the initial indifference and said: "You are wrong." ”
Mao Li's smug expression froze when he heard Ye Chen's concise three words, and he looked at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, everyone can see it, don't be quibbling." ”
"First, what you said is that you can't reason without any evidence, and I didn't reason, I just gave my conclusion directly, pointing out the murderer." Ye Chen said.
"Karma" Mao Li was choked by Ye Chen's sharp word game, indeed, Ye Chen did not carry out detailed reasoning, he just gave the answer, so Mao Li's sentence is wrong at the moment, a bit of a bull's head is not in the horse's mouth. However, what shocked Mao Li even more was still to come, and Ye Chen's words were not finished.
"Second, I can tell you and everyone here in no uncertain terms." Ye Chen looked around, and then said: "The person sitting in this position is the real murderer, and those who don't believe it can come and bet with me." ”
As soon as Ye Chen's words came out, the audience was in an uproar. Ye Chen's expression is so confident, so confident that people can't help but want to believe.
"Okay, I'll bet with you." Mao Li was also dizzy by Ye Chen's two consecutive sentences at this moment, and said without thinking.
"Brother Mao, Brother Mao." Next to him, Chen Xuan, one of the insiders, kept whispering to remind Mao Li, but at this time, Mao Li was really dizzy and completely ignored Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan naturally couldn't find a chance to tell Mao Li about it.
"Oh, you're really going to bet." Ye Chen showed a look of surprise.
This looked like Ye Chen's retreat in Mao Li's eyes, and he couldn't help but increase his confidence greatly, and said: "That's right, let the seniors teach you the true detective way today." Mao Li said domineeringly.
