Thriller Paradise

She then looked at Zuo Yan's room.

"Hu hu hu". After closing the door, Zuo Yan heaved a long sigh of relief and muttered,"we've been flying and flying all day ... We can finally rest for a while ..."

As he spoke, his right shoulder slanted consciously, causing the sports bag on his shoulder to slide to the ground.

At the same time, Victor had just crawled out from the sports bag. He used his usual venomous tone to pour cold water on Zuo Yan."But I don't think you'll be able to rest for long."

"Ha?" Zuo Yan's butt had just touched the bed when he heard this. Naturally, his expression changed."Why?"

"Do you still remember the guy we met at the elevator door?" Instead of answering his question directly, Victor threw a question back at him.

"You mean ... Brother Jue?" Zuo Yan continued.

"Are you an idiot?" Victor jumped onto the bed, narrowed his eyes, and replied unhappily,"I already said it was the 'elevator door'. We only met that Feng bujue when we walked into the 'elevator', right?"

"The entrance?" Zuo Yan looked suspicious."Did we meet anyone before we entered the elevator?"

His reaction was also human nature ...

Although there were not many people in the hotel lobby at the moment, there were still more than a dozen employees and guests coming and going. If Zuo Yan had to count the number of people he had "met," then every single person that had once appeared in his line of sight or within a ten-meter radius could be counted as someone he had "met."

"However, as a normal person, it is impossible for us to remember the appearance of every passerby that once appeared around us. Even if we want to remember ... We probably don't have the ability.

From the moment Zuo Yan left the front desk until he reached the area in front of the elevator door, he had not spoken to anyone. He did not even make eye contact. When he reached the elevator, he saw that the elevator door was about to close, so he shouted and rushed in.

Therefore ... He didn't notice that when he ran to the elevator, a middle-aged man passed by him.

"Let me help you recall ..." Victor licked his claws as he spoke to Zuo Yan through spiritual communication."A white man in his forties, about six feet tall, dark suit, brand new Panama hat ..."

"Hmm ..." Zuo Yan muttered to himself.

After all, it was a short-term memory. With victork's reminder, Zuo Yan seemed to have recalled some vague memories."Now that you mention it ... It seems like there is such a person."

"Forget it ..." Victor said."Don't think about it. Just listen to me ..."

Victor didn't let Zuo Yan think further because he could tell that Zuo Yan didn't pay attention to that person at all. Considering the memory deviation caused by the "vague trace theory", it was better to give Zuo Yan reliable information that Victor had observed himself than to let Zuo Yan recall in this state.

"Although the guy had his hat lowered, I could still see his entire face from my point of view, so I recognized him at a glance ..." Victor continued,"...He is Sam Herbert."

"Herbert?" Kieran asked. It was Zuo Yan's first time hearing the name "Sam," but he had naturally heard of the surname before.

"That's right. " "Yes, it's Herbert ..." Victor replied."Sam Herbert, John Herbert's younger brother."

"Er ..." Zuo Yan thought for a moment."I do know his brother's name. He's the current president of Herbert's company, but this 'Sam'... How do you know him?"

"I don't know him." Victor said,"I just saw his picture in a news report. It was an article about the inheritance battle. The content was a bit melodramatic. I think you can basically guess the plot when you heard the word 'inheritance'..."

Zuo Yan pondered for two seconds before continuing,"could it be ... After old Herbert died, he left all his inheritance to his eldest son. So, the second son was not convinced and took his elder brother to court. In the end, he lost the case."

"Hmm ..." Victor also pondered and said,"...No."

"Eh?" Zuo Yan was taken aback. He clearly did not expect his guess to be wrong.

"It's the exact opposite. " "After old Herbert died, we found a will in his safe," Victor continued."According to the will, he left all his property to his second son, and his eldest son didn't get a single cent."

"So ..." Zuo Yan followed the other party's line of thought and read,"it was actually John who took Sam to court?"

"Yes," Victor said,"John has hired a very good lawyer who claims that the will was forged by Sam and wants to strip Sam of his inheritance."

"From the current situation ... He seems to have succeeded." Zuo Yan continued.

"Yes, I am." Victor paused for half a second and continued,"even though old Herbert had signed the will and the key to the safe was always with him, in the end ... John still won the lawsuit."

"This works too?" Zuo Yan asked doubtfully.

"Ha!" Victor Lay down on the bed and began to lick his fur. He laughed and said,"what's wrong with that? Only the signature part of the will was handwritten. The rest of the content was typed out by an old-fashioned typewriter. John's lawyer only had to make an article on the basis that 'Sam imitated the deceased's signature'. As for the key to the safe ... That was not a problem at all. The Herbert family's residence is very big, and his two sons can go back to live there at will. If they want to make a copy of the key ... There will be plenty of opportunities. "

"Even so ... This case won't be so easy to sentence, right?" Zuo Yan continued.

"Well ... You're right. Logically speaking, in cases like this that involve a huge inheritance, the court's judgment is quite cautious." "Other than the existing physical evidence, they will also consider many other factors," Victor continued."For example ... Five years before old Herbert passed away, John had already opened his own investment company and was already a young talent with a little reputation in the business world. On the other hand, Sam had always been a well-known Playboy. In a year, he only stayed at home for one or two months, and the rest of his time was spent spending money and having fun all over the world. Coincidentally ...... It was during the month when Sam was last brought home to live, old Herbert passed away from an illness, and the will appeared before everyone's eyes. "

"That's indeed suspicious ..." Zuo Yan said."The time he spent at home was obviously enough for him to forge the will."

"The judge thought so too." "So ... After getting the approval of the two Herbert brothers, the police used the most advanced technology at that time to verify the will ..."
