Thriller Paradise

"Good question," Zuo Yan continued,"I can tell you clearly that I have evidence, and it's solid evidence."

As he spoke, he clicked on his phone a few more times and opened an audio file.

A few seconds later, a man's voice came out of the phone's player.

"I'm Peter Miller. It's 6 p.m. On October 12th. I'll be meeting Sam Herbert in an hour ..."

Zuo Yan had only played the first few sentences before he immediately pressed the stop button.

As for Sam ... Just by hearing the beginning, he couldn't help but change his expression.

"The reason why you have the confidence to say those words is undoubtedly because you believe that you didn't leave behind any evidence of your interaction with Miller." Zuo Yan was not surprised by the change in Sam's expression. He simply continued,"indeed ... Miller is very cautious. In order not to leave a call record, when he first came to find you, he used the method of 'suddenly talking to you in a public place';"After that, for every meeting you made, you would use the method of 'leaving a secret message on a public online message board to set the time and place'.

p "The place where you guys will meet is most likely in the crowded business centers. The surveillance equipment in those places is installed and managed by merchants. It's different from the police surveillance cameras installed on the streets ... Merchants usually don't keep the surveillance videos for too long. Therefore, even if the scene of your meeting was captured by a camera, you don't have to worry about the video being preserved for too long.

"I have to say that this 'face-to-face' method is very good, and it greatly increases the efficiency and security of your work ... Including the key link of 'payment'. You also pay cash in person and do not involve bank transfers.

"Everything you've done ... There's almost no trace of it.

"However ... It's also because of this that the cautious Miller will definitely hold back. After all ... He still needs to take a sum of 'remaining payment' from you after the matter is done. If you go back on your word or try to kill him to silence him, he'll have to be prepared. Otherwise ... He'll be taking the blame for you for nothing.

"So, this evening, before Miller met you ... He recorded this recording in advance. He explained the deal between you and him from beginning to end. If something unexpected happens, such as ... You want to renege on the payment, he can threaten you with this recording that was recorded before the time of the crime ..."

"Hold on." At that moment, Feng bujue interrupted,"Miller is also involved in the case. If we hand the recording to the police ... Doesn't that mean he will die with Sam?"

"It's not 'mutual destruction'." Zuo Yan looked at brother Jue and replied,"if Miller took the recording to the police and turned himself in, considering the content of the recording and the circumstances of turning himself in, he might end up with a light sentence as an 'accomplice'. As for Sam ... Because of the court ruling that he was a swindler in that will case, plus a clear motive and a planned crime, he, the 'main culprit', might not be able to get out of prison for the rest of his life. "

Zuo Yan wasn't repeating Victor's mind monologue, he was saying it himself. This was because before entering the room, Victor had already gone through the entire case in Zuo Yan's mind. Therefore, Zuo Yan was able to deal with any sudden problems on his own. This was a tacit understanding between Victor and him.

"Similarly ..." After a slight pause, Zuo Yan continued,"if Miller was arrested in the process of committing the crime, this recording can also be used as evidence to reduce his charges. It's better to be safe than sorry."

"Hmm...I see." When Feng bujue heard that, he put on a thoughtful look and nodded.

He was acting ...

In reality, brother Jue did not only understand this after hearing Zuo Yan's words. He had thought of this long ago. But ... In order for the case to last until Chapter 33, Feng felt that it was a good time to ask such questions.

From Zuo Yan's and Victor's perspective, Feng bujue's question was reasonable, and it would help them explain the case and the logic of each party, so they answered him patiently.

"Eh?" After a moment of silence, Feng bujue seemed to have thought of something. He raised his voice and asked,"then how did you get this recording? Could it be that Miller has the recording on him?"

"Yes, brother Jue." Zuo Yan smiled as he waved the phone in his hand."This isn't my phone."

Feng bujue had already noticed that the phone Zuo Yan was holding was different from the one he had given to dawist earlier. He was just asking the obvious.

"This phone is Miller 's." Zuo Yan continued,"of course, he didn't bring it with him when he committed the crime, or else ... Mr. Herbert would have found the recording before all of us." As he spoke, he glanced at John, hinting that the latter had already searched the body before the police arrived."About an hour ago, the police confirmed Miller's identity and found this mobile phone through a search of his residence on the island. Ten minutes ago, I used the corpse's thumbprint to unlock the phone screen and found the recording just now. "

"Oh ... I see ..." Feng bujue read it out loud."This is indeed a safe method. If Miller is caught by someone outside of the police before and after the crime, and the recording is not with him, he is not afraid that the evidence will be destroyed. And once he's officially arrested by the police, he can ask the police to go to his house to find his phone. "

"It's a pity ... Miller never thought that he would die ..." Two seconds later, Zuo Yan took over. His tone had a slight change. It seemed like Victor had come online again."Fortunately, he left enough information for me to deduce the truth of the case."

As he spoke, he looked at Sam again.

At this moment, Sam's face was pale with a tinge of green, and the cold sweat on his back had soaked his shirt.

Sam did not say anything in the face of Zuo Yan's intense gaze. He was well aware that ... At this moment, the more he said, the more mistakes he would make. Although he was already in despair when he heard the recording, at the edge of the cliff called "collapse," he still grabbed a branch called "luck" to support himself and not fall.

"Hmph ... You're pretty quiet now, aren't you?" Zuo Yan replied coldly,"after I proved that you 'did not' not understand what I'm saying 'and' you and Miller do know each other '... If you continue to act like this, won't you look a little embarrassed?"

Vidok was aggressive, while Sam continued to keep quiet.

"Alright ... No matter what, we can finally talk about your motive ..." Zuo Yan paused for a moment before continuing,"as I've said before, your real motive ... Is not 'John snatched away the inheritance that should have belonged to you', but ...'John, that bastard who has no blood relations with you, killed your father and snatched away the inheritance that should have belonged to you'."
