"Hmph..." Feng Bujue snorted coldly, "You're just pretending..." Even he didn't believe this, but he still pointed to Colston's legs and said, "For today's secret room layout, , in order to clear away the suspicion of murder... starting from three years ago, he pretended to have difficulty walking with his legs and used crutches in his daily life. "
"What on earth are you talking about..." Colston was shocked. This theory was simply unbelievable... How could anyone pretend to be a cripple for three years in order to murder his own son? Pretending to sprain your leg three days before killing would have the same effect.
"But in fact... you are still very agile in your actions. With your skills as a retired veteran, killing someone is not a problem at all." Feng Bujue continued, "As for the motive... I think the person who was in this house today is Everyone saw it... When you and Dennis were arguing, you fired two shots in a row. This shows that you have already had enough patience with him. If it weren't for the fact that it was too easy to detect after shooting, you wouldn't be aiming at the ceiling. ”
"You!" Colston was finally irritated and became a part of Brother Jue's mocking record. He shouted angrily, "You bastard! What the hell are you talking about!" [
"Why...did you become angry after being exposed by me..." Feng Bujue maintained his arrogant expression and said, "Or do you think there are any flaws in my flawless reasoning?"
"Hey...is there any flaw in your theory that is riddled with holes..." Scofield continued to complain in his heart. Because what Brother Jue said was so nonsense, the detective was too embarrassed to speak up.
"You..." After swearing a few curse words, Colston seemed to calm down a little. He was still a reasonable person, so he replied, "You can ask Dr. Powell about my physical condition." He glared. Covering Feng Bujue's eyes, "If you think that the doctor has been bribed by me, I can show you the certificate issued by the best hospital in the country, as well as my insurance record."
Feng Bujue immediately pretended to be embarrassed and stammered back: "Uh... I see... Is that so..."
Colston added, "So, do you still think it's okay for me to kill someone?"
Feng Bujue touched his chin and muttered: "But the fierce quarrel between you and Dennis today is true..." He suddenly realized, "Oh! Yes! The murderer must be Dr. Powell! After you and Dennis finished the quarrel, After he was kicked out, he and Powell plotted the murder in the room. He was the executioner and you were the mastermind. "
"At that time, I just asked Powell to measure my blood pressure and inject today's medicine." Colston replied, "This is what I do every day." He paused, "Also, why did Dr. Powell do this? Kill someone for me? He's not a killer. If I just say to someone working in the villa, "I'll give you a sum of money, he'll kill someone for me."
"It's hard to say..." Feng Bujue said, turned his back to the other party, and walked slowly towards the desk, at this moment. His eyes changed, and his tone became stern, "If you make up your mind to kill someone, there will always be a way." He tentatively said. "It depends on how serious the conflict between you and Dennis is..."
"That's my son! What kind of conflict can there be between us?" Colston asked, "Even if...even if there is some dispute, it is impossible for him to have murderous intentions!"
"Oh? Then may I ask...what is the core of your dispute today?" Feng Bujue asked.
"This is my family matter," Colston replied in a deep voice.
"Family matters?" Feng Bujue smiled. "With all due respect, if these two words can avoid the problem, then it is estimated that half of the murder cases in the world will not record a confession." He began to mislead the other party, "From the time you and Dennis quarreled and fired the gun , the interval between his murder and discovery was only more than an hour.
Mr. Colston, you are also a knowledgeable person. You should know very well that no matter who investigates this case, you will not be able to avoid this question in the end - what are you and Dennis arguing about?
If you tell me now, the only two people who know about this are me and Detective Scofield. After the case is solved, no one will bring it up again. But if you insist on not speaking and the case is delayed...then one day you will be forced to answer in the witness box or the defendant's box in court. There will be a jury, reporters, and a bunch of ordinary citizens watching the excitement. The person asking you questions is likely to be a rich-hating, biased prosecutor who will induce you to say more negative things about yourself. All your answers will be recorded by the court and even published in the newspapers. "
"That's enough!" Colston was deceived by Feng Bujue. His concerns about the situation the other party said made the old man have to make up his mind. "In that case..." His eyes swept across Feng Bujue. Bujue and Schofield's face said, "I can say it, but you have to ensure that this word cannot reach other people's ears, especially my family."
"I promise, sir," Schofield added, "I'm a tight-lipped man."
Feng Bujue also said: "Don't worry, these words will never spread outside this study."
At this point, Brother Jue finally succeeded... He had never doubted Colston, and the reason he went through so much trouble was to let the head of the family tell him in person... what exactly Dennis and he quarreled about.
Although Barton had previously informed Feng Bujue, Brother Jue did not completely trust the gardener. So, he wanted to hear Colston himself.
Of course, even if what Colston said at this moment did not match what Barton said, it did not prove that Barton was lying. Anyway, Dennis was dead, and Colston could say whatever he wanted, and he did not know that Barton had gone to Feng Bujue. There was also a third situation - both of them lied, and the situation would be even more complicated...
"Dennis wants to monopolize my inheritance." Colston spoke, and this was his answer.
"Well...exclusive, right..." Feng Bujue asked knowingly, "So...you have a will? And the content of this will makes Dennis not very satisfied, right?"
"Yes, I have a will." Colston said, "but no one knows the content of the will except me and my lawyer." He paused for a few seconds, "Dennis naturally doesn't know, but he thinks...I distributed the estate to 'inappropriate people' in that will, so...we had a quarrel."
This passage roughly coincides with what Barton said, but it was evasive and obviously omitted Odetta's name.
However...Feng Bujue vaguely felt that there was something hidden in Colston's words... (To be continued...)
