After Jack left the study, Feng Bujue sat back in his seat with a smile on his face, and then turned his head to look at Schofield with a solemn expression and said, "What do you think?" Detective."
Schofield replied, "It's suspicious...... So far, he's the most suspicious. ”
"Indeed......," Feng Bu consciously continued, "Jack has a motive to kill, a time to commit a crime, and an ability to commit a crime. But...... I don't think he's a murderer. ”
"Oh?" Schofield wondered, "Why?" ”
Feng Bujue asked in turn, "Detective, if you were Jack, what kind of mentality would you have when you saw your father and brother arguing fiercely?" ”
"This ......" Schofield thought about it under the reminder of Brother Jue, and immediately realized: "I should be happy!" ”
"Yes." Feng Bujue nodded in affirmation, "If his motive for killing ...... Or if the ultimate goal is family property, when I see today's scene, I should secretly rejoice in my heart. After all, in the eyes of his family, he is just rebellious and does not grow long, and this is not an irreconcilable contradiction. And what exactly is the conflict between Dennis and Colston, then it is not clear......"
"So?" Schofield asked tentatively.
"So, logically speaking, even if Jack had the idea of murdering Dennis, he wouldn't have chosen to do it today." Feng Bujue continued: "In my opinion...... after the 'shooting incident', the remark that Jack said was because he saw his father and brother quarreling, and he was secretly happy in his heart, so he was proud. This sentence did inadvertently reveal a certain thought in his heart. But...... Those who really want to commit murder will show no warning beforehand, and will never leave such obvious flaws. ”
He paused for a moment, and then said: "In addition, did you pay attention to the last wording he used...... 'whether there is a motive or no motive', this sentence is basically equivalent to admitting that he has ever had the idea of killing, but he is not afraid at all...... No matter from the eyes, tone, and subtle body language, the sentence 'I didn't kill anyone anyway' is true. Brother Jue propped his elbows on the table, held his cheeks and said, "The confidence in his words is not the confidence of the criminal, but the confidence of the innocent." There is a difference between the two. The former is determined that the police cannot find sufficient evidence to convict themselves, while the latter ...... Simply because nothing has been done. Jack belongs to the latter group, and he has a bit of a sense of 'being upright and not afraid of shadows'......"
"So......" Schofield mused, "can the possibility that Jack is the murderer be basically dismissed......
"Hmm." Feng Bujue responded, "At this stage...... Colston, Henderson, Oliver, Carol, Jack, the suspicion of these five people can be ruled out for the time being. ”
Schofield muttered, "There are nine suspects, and all that's left is ...... Mr. Powell, the family physician, Mr. Barton, the gardener, Miss Nancy, and Mrs. Odetta. He paused, "That's right...... Miss Nancy only arrived after the incident, so she should be able to rule it out directly, right? ”
"Who said that?" Feng Bujue said, "Nancy is completely qualified to commit crimes, and even has an advantage over others. His eyes changed slightly, "If we can find a motive, she's more suspicious than Jack." ”
Knock knock knock on the door.
Say Cao Ying, Cao Ying will arrive......
"Miss Nancy has brought it, sir." Templed's voice rang out from outside the door.
"Please come in." Schofield replied.
The door opened, and Miss Nancy entered. She was dressed in a modest white blouse, a jacket over it, a pair of classic jeans, and long riding boots with a padded heel. This lady doesn't seem to be contaminated with the literary atmosphere of Vienna at all, but more like a trip to the western United States.
However, the tomboy's dress does not hide her charm, and Miss Nancy is still an eye-catching beauty. On the fair and delicate face, there are bright eyes and bright teeth, plump lips and nose, and blonde hair casually draped over his shoulders, reflecting a bright color in the light.
Unlike Mrs. Odetta's mature, surname-inspired classical beauty, Nancy exudes more youthful vigor. The perseverance and ability in her eyes also made Feng Bujue faintly see a bit of the aura of a feminist in the new era.
"Hello, Miss Nancy." After Templedie closed the door, Feng Bujue said, "Looks like we haven't officially known each other yet...... He stood up, walked out from behind his desk, stretched out his hand, and said, "My name is Feng Bujue, and I'm a detective." ”
Nancy politely shook the other person's outstretched hand, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Feng." Her voice was as low as her love.
"This is Detective Schofield, and the two of them met in the foyer." Feng Bujue immediately introduced the police detective.
Schofield stood up, holding the brim of his hat with one hand and extending the other, "I'm here for you, ma'am." ”
"Fortunately, detective." Nancy shook hands and replied.
"Please sit down, Miss Nancy." Feng Bujue said, "Don't be nervous, we just have some questions for you." ”
"Okay." Nancy replied as she sat down, "But I can't promise I can help you, you know, I'll be there when I do...... Dennis has ......"
"Is that really the case?" Feng Bujue's attitude suddenly changed sharply.
"What did you say?" Nancy asked, looking puzzled.
"Perhaps...... You arrived here earlier than we know...... "I don't realize that this is using action to let these NPCs know what it means to "add to the sin without excuse".
"What are you...... What do you mean? Nancy felt something in the other's words.
"I'm using my imagination." Feng Bujue replied, "This is a very important skill for a detective. We must follow the rules of logic and common laws, but we must not be bound by these habitual thinking. He smiled, "Anyway...... What I'm going to say next may sound bizarre and offensive to you. So...... I would like to make it clear in advance that all of what I have said is speculation, and if there is something in it that you find unpleasant, I hope you will forgive me. ”
"Hmm...... Is it really this trick again...... But this Miss Nancy obviously appeared after the crime, so can she be framed......" Schofield thought to himself, and it was hard for him to imagine what kind of reasoning Feng Bujue would have said.
"What the hell are you going to say?" Nancy asked.
Feng Bujue sneered, flicked his arm, and said to Miss Nancy with great momentum, "The murderer who killed Dennis...... That's you! Nancy. Lovecraft! (To be continued)
