Chapter 16 Carol's Statement

"That's enough!" Carol shouted, "Please... stop slandering my dead husband." She gritted her teeth and replied, "It's not that we don't want children, it's just..." She choked, "Doctor It's my problem..." She stopped here, because that's all she could say, "Mr. Feng, Mr. Detective, I hope you can keep this matter confidential. If I'm here today, What is said here appears in every media..."

"Understood...understood..." Feng Bujue interrupted, "If this matter spreads, then the largest chaebol family in Asali will come to settle accounts with us. By then...Mr. Schofield will probably lose his job. Job and pension. And I'm probably going to be put in a suitcase and thrown into the Mediterranean."

Sweat broke out on Schofield's forehead. He quickly said with a serious face: "I guarantee with the honor of the police and my personal integrity, madam, your words will never be spread."

Feng Bujue continued calmly: "Anyway... Since there is such a reason, then I think... I misunderstood you." He overturned his previous remarks without caring and said to Carol, " Everything I have said so far is speculation, not accusation, I hope you don’t mind.”

"I think it's hard for most people not to mind what you say!" Carol replied.

"You have every reason to be angry, and I understand it very well." Feng Bujue said, "If I were you, I must be thinking again at this moment - 'Dennis should really leave this bastard on the roadside' or something like that..."

Carol didn't respond, but her expression admitted that she had been seen through.

"Let's go back to the first question." Feng Bujue smiled, "Look, you have overturned my reasoning. Now I am at a loss, unless you tell me a questionable suspicion with a potential motive. Otherwise, it will be difficult to proceed with the investigation.”

Seeing this, I believe everyone understands. In fact, Brother Jue's method... is to first anger the person being questioned through false accusations and nonsense. Then declare that you are at an impasse so that the other party can tell you some information that would not be revealed in a normal inquiry.

In the final analysis, it is a "fraud". There are bound to be differences in the reactions of innocent people and murderers when they are accused. And when these two types of people find that the detective in front of them is incompetent, they will also have different psychological changes.

In addition, Brother Jue has also carefully arranged the order of people entering the room, because there are other deceptions... the classic "so-and-so has already confessed you" is one of them, but that's a story for another day. …

As an old detective, Schofield naturally has a lot of knowledge about this trick of separate interrogation. Just facing the case in front of me. He has many scruples. Without any evidence at hand, it is very inappropriate to use "notes" to deal with this group of law-abiding citizens who have no criminal record... Even if the case is finally solved, people will not think well of him. If the case is not solved, there will be endless troubles.

And this "future trouble" is not as simple as complaining to the superior department... As Feng Bujue said, Mrs. Carol's natal family is the largest plutocrat in Asali, and "big" should be preceded by "biggest". "Character.

How powerful is this family in this country? An example would be: For example, in the middle of the night one day, you were backing up in an alley. Accidentally killed a family member. Then, you will be sentenced to seven years in prison, and you will have to sell your house to pay for it until you lose all your money and your wife and children are separated. After seven years of litigation, I came out with nothing; on the same night, when you were crossing the street at a crosswalk when the light was green, someone from your family was racing on the street and hit you to death. Then, that person should be sentenced to three years in prison. One year's probation, after which he will not have to go to jail for good behavior. The compensation was quite large, but the price was enough to buy a wheel from that sports car.

In summary. If Schofield not only failed to catch the real culprit, but also smashed the shit basin on the head of this family, he could basically retire early. He can't hope to find any other job. People can use any means to ruin your reputation in the national media, including saying that you were a cowherd before becoming a police officer.

Therefore, Mr. Detective has never thought about this at all.

But he didn't expect that Feng Bujue, a third party, would actually propose a similar interrogation strategy and volunteer to implement it.

Of course, Schofield would not refuse Brother Jue's proposal. Anyway, it was not the police who offended people. Besides, Feng Bujue is a well-known detective. He can run away but a monk cannot run away from the temple. If the case is really not solved, you can just vent your anger on him...

"Okay..." After much hesitation, Carol finally relented, "If I have to say someone with a motive... I guess... I'm really just guessing..."

"Don't worry, I won't say in front of others that you accused someone." Feng Bujue saw that the other party had taken the bait, and quickly gave him another reassurance.

"Maybe it's Odetta..." Carol's eyes turned to the side.

"Women are really scary creatures..." Feng Bujue remained calm on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart, "Since you entered the house, you two have been talking and laughing, and she has been accompanying you since the incident. Being by your side, but in the end, she still said her name..."

"Oh? Why do you see it?" Feng Bujue asked immediately. At the same time, he also winked at Schofield to signal the detective not to interrupt.

"I don't know... maybe it's because of Master Colston's inheritance..." Carol said, "Dennis is the eldest son, isn't he the most threatening to her stepmother? And... and..." She hesitated.

"And, a 28-year-old woman marries a 55-year-old man, initially for money." Feng Bujue said what the other party couldn't say.

Carol didn't respond to him, just lowered her head and said nothing.

"Okay, I understand." Feng Bujue said, "Thank you very much for the information you provided. I will reconsider the whole case with the detective." He had already got what he wanted, so he stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, as if he had ordered him to leave, "Please."

…………

After Mrs. Carol left, Feng Bujue told Dumpudy outside the door to bring the next suspect, and then closed the door.

"You are so sharp, Mr. Feng." Before Brother Jue turned around, Scofield said, "There are some things that even I can't say."

"Just say it... I was so mean just now, wasn't I?" Feng Bujue laughed and laughed at himself.

"No, no, no..." Scofield smiled and waved his hands, which was actually a sign of acquiescence.

"Sometimes, in order to achieve the purpose of the inquiry." Feng Bujue said in a nonchalant tone, "It is inevitable to be disliked." He walked back to the desk, "No matter whether the other party is male or female, old or young, tall or short, fat or thin; no matter their status, character or reputation; whether they are presidents, beggars, priests, or gangsters. The detective has only one goal - to get the information they want from them. Not to win their love."

"Yeah..." Scofield nodded, looking very educated.

Feng Bujue continued: "So... Next, I will make more and more bad remarks without losing my manners, you'd better be mentally prepared." (To be continued...)
