Chapter 1380 Contract Killing (Part 2)(Chapter Preview)

​ "Miller has been in and out of Herbert's house quite a few times. When he was still John's assistant, it was common for him to spend the night here. It could be said that he was more familiar with the situation here than many of the staff members in the house.

"Of course, it's been a few years since he last came here as a 'guest'. In addition, Miller was carrying out a planned crime this time, so he'll definitely come to check the situation inside and outside the mansion first ...

"But no matter what, combined with the information Sam obtained yesterday afternoon ... It wasn't difficult for Miller to sneak into this house.

"Just like that, at around 10 pm, Miller took advantage of the darkness and climbed over a wall into Herbert's Manor from an area without any surveillance cameras. He then sneaked all the way to the west side of the manor and entered the house through an unlocked window on the first floor.

"After all, this is a private residence and not a heavily-guarded military facility. There are only a few security guards here. In the evening, the cleaners and chefs had all returned to the side building, so no one noticed Miller when he entered the mansion.

"Thus, Miller openly came to John's bedroom, which was empty at the time, and hid behind the curtains of the floor-to-ceiling window.

"On the other hand, Sam ... Was in the bar of the Alfred hotel, chatting with a detective he had just met in order to create his own alibi.

"At 11 O' clock, it was time to act. Sam went into the bar's toilet and called the phone in John's bedroom.

"It's an old phone with no extension and call transfer. Its power supply is separated from the mansion's power system. John had put the phone in his bedroom to use it as a 'dedicated line', and he had only given the number to a few people.

"Therefore, when he heard the phone ring, John, who was working in the study next door, got up and went to his bedroom to answer the phone.

"At this moment...Miller made his move.

"He chose a good spot. The curtain is only a few meters away from the table with the phone, and he appeared behind John.

"Ha?" This time, even Daxter was dumbfounded. He looked at brother Jue and said,"Hey, hey ... Didn't you hear what detective Zuo said just now? Things have already been made so clear, and you're still saying Sam is innocent?"

"Haha ..." Feng bujue chuckled."He was very clear, and his logic was very clear, but ... Where is the evidence?" He paused and looked at John again."Just as John can confidently deny that he 'murdered someone in the inheritance case' outside of this whole deduction, as long as there is no evidence, Sam can also deny some contents of this deduction, right?"

"But ..." Daxter thought for a few seconds."That recording ..."

"That's right!" "I was just about to talk about that recording ..." Feng bujue cut him off loudly."Zuo Yan, please play that recording in its entirety."

Damn it ... At this moment, Victor cursed in his heart. This kid has seen through me ...

After brother Jue said that, Zuo Yan hesitated for a few seconds before sighing. He took out Miller's phone again and pressed play.

"I'm Peter Miller. It's 6 p.m. On October 12th. I'll meet with Sam Herbert in an hour ..." Miller's voice resounded from the phone.

This time, Zuo Yan did not press the stop button, but the recording ... Did not continue.

A few seconds later, John, Sam, and dawist all realized something, and their expressions changed.

"See ... Just as I said ..." Feng bujue shrugged and said,"many times ... Something that is not to be doubted at first glance is actually very different from what it appears to be."

"You ..." A second later, Zuo Yan asked on behalf of Victor,"...How did you know that the recording was only this long?"

"It's simple. " Feng bujue replied unhurriedly,"in your reasoning, you used the phone three times. The first time, he used Miller's phone to show us Miller's picture. The second time, he used Miller's phone to play the recording. The third time ... He used his own phone to show us Miller's comments on social media.

"During the first and third time, you showed us your phone screen. Only during the second time ... You didn't do that.

"At first glance, this is very normal ... Because the first and third time, you wanted to show images, while the second time, you only wanted to show sound."However ... When you pressed the stop button, you were indeed a little anxious. You pressed it almost right before the last word was spoken. This point ... Made me suspicious. "
