"From what I hear... you have admitted that you hired someone to kill someone?" Zuo Yan asked.

This question... is crucial.

If Sam gives a positive answer here, then next, Zuo Yan only needs to briefly describe the case in front of him, and this "reasoning show" will be over.

At most, let Sam make a slightly tragic confession and talk about some details of the psychological changes of the people involved that the detective missed, which will not take too long.

However, everyone has seen that, including this chapter, there are still seven chapters to go before Chapter 33. If the situation develops at this pace, Feng Bujue's mission will fail, and my shameless... oh no... unsolvable writing skills will also be questioned.

Therefore...

"I..." Sam started to speak. Judging from his expression and the tone of the first word when he said this sentence, he was obviously ready to plead guilty.

After all, he was still a good man, at least much better than John and Miller; at this point, he felt that there was no need to struggle anymore, and he would bear the consequences of his hatred.

Unexpectedly...

"Of course he won't admit it." At that moment, Feng Bujue shouted loudly, interrupting Sam's words and attracting the attention of everyone present, including a cat.

"Mr. Feng... I..." Sam seemed to want to say something to Jue.

But Jue just waved at him and smiled, "Don't rush to express your opinion, we..." He paused and looked at Zuo Yan, "Let's listen to Zuo Yan finish his reasoning."

Seeing Feng Bujue's expression, Sam hesitated...

The confident smile and confident tone were like a dose of cardiotonic, which rekindled Sam's hope.

"Well... okay." Sam responded, and then cast his eyes on Zuo Yan and said nothing.

"Tsk... I almost took the bait." Victor in the dark spat, "This guy is really up to something..."

"So what should we do now?" Zuo Yan heard this and immediately asked in a telepathic dialogue, "Continue?"

"Ah..." Victor replied, "Anyway, I'm almost done."

"Okay, then I'll continue." Zuo Yan didn't waste any words. After getting Victor's instructions, he directly spoke, "About a year ago, Miller managed to find Sam and told him the secret of John's life. For such incredible news, Sam must have been skeptical at first... Obviously, he still had some feelings for John. After all, he was still young when he entered Herbert's house, and he was not like John who knew that he and the other party were not related by blood since he was a teenager.

"Of course, Sam didn't completely disbelieve Miller, so they met several times in the following year; each time Miller would collect some new evidence to prove his statement, and at the same time he spared no effort to use his eloquence to try to convince Sam logically.

"Finally, after a year, Miller got some decisive evidence; we still don't know what this evidence is, but I guess... he should have managed to get John's DNA sample, such as a hair that fell somewhere. Considering that John would leave Kochikoti Island for a few months every year, and his whereabouts were not that difficult to track... with more than half a year, it was not difficult for Miller to get a few hairs.

"It can be imagined... Sam, who saw the evidence, was furious; he could tolerate his brother's design to take away the family inheritance, but he couldn't tolerate an outsider... a person who never regarded him as a brother from beginning to end, harming him like this. More importantly... after confirming John's identity, Miller didn't need more proof when he told Sam that 'Old Herbert was also killed by John in some way'.

"To sum up... the revenge for his father's murder, the hatred for his wealth, and the stigma of being a 'liar'... Sam, who had been deceived for many years, was rekindled with the fire of revenge after learning the truth.

"His life, which had gradually settled down, was left with only one goal overnight, which was revenge; in order to achieve this goal, he would do anything... Miller saw through this and proposed to him a seemingly good idea - the two of them would join forces to kill John, and then Sam would inherit his estate, and finally the two of them would sit down and divide the money.

"I have to say... this idea is really good, and it is definitely a win-win plan. Miller and Sam hated John very much, and John's death and his huge wealth were the best way to calm their anger.

"In this way, after the two planned for a few months, a plan that they thought was brilliant came into being..."

At this point, Zuo Yan paused for two seconds. Next, he was going to repeat the murder case not long ago: "So we can go back to my initial evaluation of this case - a simple case.

"The process... is roughly as follows.

"This afternoon, Sam came to visit John without any warning; his sudden visit after many years undoubtedly surprised John, but it is precisely such a "surprise attack" that often has a good effect... Imagine if Sam informed John of his visit in advance through some means of communication, the other party would have time to think and prepare, then John would definitely think of an excuse to avoid or refuse to meet...

"Sam suddenly came to the door of the mansion and asked to come in. John didn't have many choices. He was caught off guard... so he let him in.

"Sam, who had 'returned home', acted as if he was coming to reconcile with John. He was very friendly. After drinking afternoon tea, eating snacks, and chatting with John for more than an hour, he had figured out two important pieces of information he wanted to obtain on this trip - first, which bedroom John was in; second, the phone number in the bedroom.

"To be on the safe side, after saying goodbye to John and returning to the hotel, Sam also called to "greet" John and thanked him again for his previous hospitality; and the real purpose of Sam's move... was actually to confirm the authenticity of the number.

"Up to this point, the preparations for the murder plan were completed...

"At dusk, Sam left the hotel again... took the money he was going to give to Miller and went to meet Miller at the agreed location.

"As I said before, in order not to leave any records in the communication department, the two never called each other. They agreed on the time and place in advance, and then talked and traded face to face, and they would try to minimize the number of meetings.

"Miller got the money almost when the sun set. Then, Sam returned to the hotel to prepare his alibi; but Miller... was not in a hurry to sneak into the Herbert family's mansion. He first secretly recorded the recording I played to you before... leaving a backup for himself, and then changed into clothes that were easy to move, put on gloves and fishing line... and set off."
