    "What's the result?" Zuo Yan asked.

    ¡°The results show¡± Vidocq replied, ¡°There are two very serious doubts about the authenticity of that will.

    "First, the paper used in the will was made using a paper-making technology that was quite advanced at the time. Until the day of Old Herbert's death, this kind of paper had not been on the market for more than a year;  But the date on the will was six years ago.

    "Second, the signature although it does look very similar, if you enlarge the handwriting to a certain proportion and analyze the ink marks, you can find some differences that cannot be distinguished by the naked eye"

    "Is this okay?" Zuo Yan asked doubtfully.

    "Of course." Vidocq replied, "Today's criminal investigation technology has almost reached the point where it is omnipotent, but not all cases can be handled with the most advanced technology. After all'resources' are limited.  of.

    "For example, suppose you were stolen by a pickpocket on the street with a wallet containing two hundred dollars in cash, and then you went to the police station to report the crime. In this case, the most the police can do is get you a record and then check the location of the theft.  Surveillance video and record it together; when one day the pickpocket who stole from you is caught and arrested for other cases, maybe when he confesses the crime, he will also confess the past stealing of your wallet. At this time, you  Only then will the records be used, and only then will it be 'possible' for you to recover the lost property."

    "According to what you said, it's actually impossible" Zuo Yan curled his lips and complained.

    "Well, you can understand it this way." Vidocq continued nonchalantly, "But think about it, if the police must arrest the pickpocket, is there really nothing they can do?" He paused.  Dun, "There is obviously a way They can find a team of people to thoroughly check all the surveillance videos near the crime scene, find out the whereabouts of the pickpocket before he met you and after he succeeded, and then follow the clues to find the general address where he lives.  range, and then send people to visit the area with his image until they find the person's residence. If this is not enough use the legendary 'facial recognition technology' to capture the images captured by all cameras across the country  Go there to match faces similar to the suspects in your case, and check and identify them one by one"

    "Uh" Zuo Yan already understood the point of the other party's words, he interrupted, "It's a bit outrageous to do this for something with a total value of several hundred yuan."

    "Yes, that's what it means." Vidocq said, "In a country with more than nine million square kilometers, thousands of small cases like this happen every day; leaving aside those who have not reported the case, if  Each case is verified using the method I just mentionedHow much manpower and material resources will be invested? Therefore, criminal investigation resources are usually used in major cases that are more harmful to society or involve larger amounts of money.  , such asthe inheritance dispute case of the Herbert family."

    "Then" Seeing that Vidocq brought the topic back, Zuo Yan continued, "After it is confirmed that the will is a forgery, Sam will have nothing to say."

    "No, Sam was very shocked and angry at the result. He immediately asked the court to re-appraise the will and declared that the result of the first appraisal was 'wrong and ridiculous'." Vidocq said.

    "In other words you will become angry and fight to the end?" Zuo Yan said.

    "It seems so," Vidocq said.

    "Huh?" Zuo Yan heard something from the other party's tone and repeated, "'Looks like'?"

    "Yes, it just 'looks like this'." Vidocq continued in a mysterious tone, "I will explain this later, let's talk about the next development first" He paused for another two seconds and continued.  , "For most people, including you, the jury, and the judge, the results of the appraisal are enough to determine the direction of the case. Sam's reaction is indeed like 'hold on until the end.' Even Sam's lawyer  He was advised to reconcile, but Sam firmly denied that he forged the will and decided to fight to the end.

    "So, he lost the case, appealed, and lost again; in the end, not only did Sam Herbert not inherit a penny of his family property, he was also forced to move out of the old Herbert's house and became homeless.  The person who returns.

    "His brother John simply stated that he would not pursue Sam's responsibility for the 'forged will' matter, and was willing to give Sam a fortune of 100,000 pounds out of brotherly love, which would allow him to live and work.

    "Unexpectedly, Sam rejected John's 'kindness' and claimed that he deserved the inheritance. He refused to let others use their own money to give to him.

    ¡°After that, the two brothers severed contact with each other. John inherited all the family property, including most of the shares in Herbert Company, and Sam disappeared from the public eye.Come on A dandy like him will soon become invisible once he loses his money. Such a development is to be expected.  "

    "Then what you think" Zuo Yan knew Vidocq very well, and he knew that the latter still had something to say, "Is there any other article on this matter?"

    "This is the part I want to 'explain'" Vidocq lazily turned over on the bed, "Ohwait" He seemed to suddenly think of something, and changed the topic, "Haha  Second-rate (Victor likes to call Zuo Yan second-rate, because soon after the two met, the former defined the latter as a 'second-rate detective'), why don't I test you"

    "Again?" This was not the first time that Zuo Yan was "examined" by Vidocq. Although he could keep up with Vidocq's ideas in most cases, the gap between him and Vidocq seemed to be completely different.  The gap between "second-rate detective" and "king of detectives" has been narrowed

    "I'll tell you the answer directly this time. You tell me the reason." Vidocq didn't care whether Zuo Yan was willing or not. After saying this, he immediately revealed the truth, "The person who forged the contractactually  It¡¯s John.¡±

    "Huh?" After hearing this, Zuo Yan was stunned for twenty seconds, then his brows gradually widened and he suddenly realized, "Ohit turns out there is such a skill"

    "Heh" Vidocq collapsed on the bed and said with a smile, "Not bad, I figured it out within half a minute."

    "Looking back after hearing the answerSam's reaction seemed very reasonable." Zuo Yan read, "Because he had a clear conscience about the will, he agreed to the appraisal; and after the appraisal results came out, Sam naturally  They would be surprised and thought that the people in the court had made a mistake; but others did not see it that way. They thought that Sam became angry after being exposed and was ready to fight to the end.

    "Howeverall of this was within John's calculations from the beginning."
