    "Miller came in and out of the Herbert family's mansion a lot. When he was still working as John's assistant, it was common to spend the night here; it can be said that he is more experienced than many staff members in this house today.  Also get familiar with the situation here.

    "Of course, it's been several years since he last came here as a 'guest', and Miller is committing a planned crime this time, so he will definitely come to touch the house again beforehand.  The situation inside and outside the mansion

    "But in any case, combined with some of the information Sam obtained yesterday afternoon it is not difficult for Miller to sneak into this house.

    "In this way, around ten o'clock in the evening, Miller took advantage of the darkness and entered the Herbert Manor over the wall from an unmonitored area. Then he reached all the way to the west side of the mansion and opened an unlocked door on the first floor.  The window entered the house.

    "After all, this is a private residence, not a heavily guarded military facility. There are only a few security guards in total. At night, the cleaners and chefs also returned to the side building, so Miller also  No one found him.

    ¡°So, Miller came to John¡¯s bedroom, which was empty at the time, and hid behind the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window.

    "Sam, on the other hand was in the bar of the Alfred Hotel, chatting with a detective he had just met in order to create his own alibi.

    ¡°At eleven o¡¯clock, when the agreed time to take action came, Sam went into the bathroom of the bar and dialed the phone in John¡¯s bedroom with his mobile phone.

    "It was an old-fashioned telephone with no extensions and no call forwarding, and its power supply was separate from the house's electrical system. John placed the telephone in his bedroom and used it as a 'dedicated line'.  He only gave this phone number to a few people.

    ¡°So, when he heard the phone ringing, John, who was working in the study next door, got up and went to the bedroom to answer the call.

    ¡°At this moment¡­Miller took action.

    ¡°He chose a good location. The curtain was only a few meters away from the table with the phone, and he appeared just behind John.

    "Howeverthe accident still happened.

    "Miller didn't expect that John, a man nearly ten years older than himself, still maintained good physical strength and reaction speed. After some struggle and fighting, John hit him sideways and hit his side.  Miller stepped on the carpet, slipped, and hit the back of his head on the corner of the table.

    ¡°The impact roughly carried the weight of two adult men and caused irreparable damage to the back of Miller¡¯s head, causing him to die on the spot.

    "At the same time, Sam, who heard the struggle on the other end of the phone, also noticed something was wrong, because the last gasp he heard was not that of Miller, but that of John, who was supposed to be dead.

    "A few seconds later, John, who had regained his breath, naturally recognized the assailant as Miller. He soon realized that there was some connection between Sam's sudden visit during the day, the call just now, and Miller's sneak attack. He thought  Herehe quickly hung up the phone.

    ¡°Everyone should be aware of what happens next.¡±

    By the time Zuo Yan spoke up to this point, the entire case had basically been revealed to everyone.

    The four people in the room fell into silence again.

    "Well" After a while, Feng Bujue was the first to break the silence, "Are you done?"

    "Uh" Zuo Yan was also stunned when he was asked. He paused for two seconds, wanting to wait and see Vidocq's instructions, but Vidocq said nothing, so Zuo Yan could only reply on his own, "  Yes, that¡¯s it.¡±

    "Okay, let me talk now." Feng Bujue shook the red wine glass in his hand and continued in a leisurely tone.

    "What else do you want to say?" John looked at Brother Jue, "Now that things have happeneddo you think you can still help Sam get away with it?"

    "Exonerated?" Brother Jue raised his eyebrows and replied in a relaxed tone, "Is it necessary?" He glanced at Sam, "Sam is not guilty in the first place."

    "Huh?" At this time, Daost was also dumbfounded. He looked at Brother Jue and complained, "Hey, heydidn't you hear a word of what Detective Zuo just said? Everything has been made so clear. You  You actually said Sam was innocent?"

    "Haha" Feng Bujue chuckled, "What he said is very clear, and the logic in all aspects is also very clear, but where is the evidence?" He paused and looked at John again, "Just like John  In addition to this entire reasoning, he can confidently deny that he has 'ever attempted to commit suicide in an inheritance case', so as long as there is no evidence, Sam can also deny this reasoning.Isn¡¯t there something about ??  "

    "But" Daost thought for a few seconds, "That recording"

    "That's right!" Feng Bujue interrupted loudly, "I was about to talk about that recording" He looked at Zuo Yan with a hidden smile and said, "Classmate Zuo Yan, please play that recording in its entirety.  Come out."

    "Damn it" At this moment, Vidocq cursed in his heart, "Sure enough, this kid saw through it"

    After Brother Jue finished speaking, Zuo Yan hesitated for a few seconds, then sighed, took out Miller's phone again, and pressed the play button.

    Miller's voice came from the phone again, "I'm Pat Miller. It's six o'clock in the afternoon on October 12th. In one hour, I will go to meet Sam Herbert"

    This time, Zuo Yan did not press the stop button, but the recording did not continue either.

    A few seconds later, John, Sam, and Dost realized something one after another, and the expressions on their faces also changed.

    "Lookas I said" Feng Bujue shrugged and continued, "Many timesa thing that seems unquestionable at first glance has its essence completely different from its appearance."

    "You" A second later, Zuo Yan asked on behalf of Vidocq, "why do you know that this recording is only so long?"

    "It's very simple." Feng Bujue replied calmly, "During your reasoning process, you used your mobile phone three times in total. The first time was when you used Miller's mobile phone to show Miller's photos, and the second time as well.  Miller's cell phone was used to play the recording, and the third time he used his own cell phone to show us the recording of Miller's remarks on social networking sites.

    ¡°Among them, the first and third times, you turned your phone screen towards us to demonstrate, but the second time you didn¡¯t do this.

    "At first glance, this is normalbecause what you want to show for the first and third time is the picture, and what you want to show for the second time is just the sound; butwhen you press the recording stop button,  You were indeed a little anxious, and you pressed it down almost before the last sound of the word fell. This made me suspicious. "
