"Enough!" Carol shouted, "Please... don't slander my dead husband anymore." She gritted her teeth and replied, "It's not that we didn't want children, it's just..." She choked up for a moment, "The doctor said it was my problem..." She stopped there, because that was all she could say, "Mr. Feng, Detective, I hope you can keep this confidential. If what I said here today appears in any media..."

"Understood... understood..." Feng Bujue interrupted, "If this gets out, then Asari's largest chaebol family will come after us. At that time... Mr. Schofield is likely to lose his job and pension. And me... I'll probably be stuffed into a suitcase and thrown into the Mediterranean."

Sweat broke out on Schofield's forehead, and he quickly said with a serious face, "I guarantee with my police honor and my personal integrity, Madam, your words will never be leaked."

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

"I think it's hard for anyone not to mind your words!" Carol replied.

"You have every reason to be angry, I understand." Feng Bujue said, "If I were you, I would definitely be thinking at this moment—'Dennis should have left this bastard on the side of the road' 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, "You see, you overturned my reasoning, and now I'm at a loss. Unless you tell me a suspicious suspect with potential motives, the investigation will be difficult to proceed."

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, and then claim that he is in a deadlock, so that the other party will say some information that would not be said in a normal inquiry.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of "bluffing." The reactions of the innocent and the murderer when accused will inevitably be different. And when these two types of people discover that the detective in front of them is昏庸无能 *hūnyōngwúnéng* (muddle-headed and incompetent), they will also have different psychological changes.

In addition, the order in which people entered the room was also carefully arranged by Brother Jue, because there are other bluffs... that classic trick of "So-and-so has already confessed you" is one of them, but that's a story for later...

As an old detective, Schofield naturally has a lot of research on this kind of separate interrogation trick. It's just that he has a lot of concerns when facing this case. Without evidence in hand, it is very inappropriate to use "police" methods to deal with this group of law-abiding citizens with no prior convictions. Even if the case is solved in the end, people will not appreciate him, and if the case is not solved, there will be endless troubles.

Moreover, this "trouble" is not as simple as complaining to the higher authorities... As Feng Bujue said, Mrs. Carol's maternal family is the largest chaebol in Asari, and the word "largest" must be preceded by "the most".

How much energy does this family have in this country? An example is: For example, one night, you are backing up in an alley and accidentally run over a family member. Then, you will be sentenced to seven years in prison, sell your house to pay compensation, and be impoverished, your wife and children will be separated, and you will have nothing after serving your seven-year sentence; also in one night, you are crossing the street in a crosswalk with a green light, and someone from their family is speeding on the street and happens to run you over. Then, that person should be sentenced to three years in prison, with a one-year suspended sentence, and will not need to go to jail one year later due to good behavior. The compensation is not small, but the price can only buy one wheel on that person's sports car.

In summary, if Schofield not only fails to catch the real culprit, but also randomly puts the blame on this family, then he can basically retire early. He shouldn't even expect to find another job. People can use some means to ruin your reputation in the national media, saying that you used to be a gigolo before becoming a policeman.

Therefore, the detective did not have such an idea at all.

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

Of course, Schofield would not refuse Brother Jue's proposal, anyway, it was not their police who offended people. Besides, Feng Bujue is a well-known detective, you can't run away, if the case is really not solved, you can vent your anger on him...

"Okay..." After hesitating again and again, Carol finally relented, "If I have to name 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." Seeing that the other party was hooked, Feng Bujue quickly offered another reassurance.

"Maybe it's Audetta..." Carol's gaze turned to the side.

"Women are really terrifying creatures..." Feng Bujue thought to himself,不动声色 *bù dòng shēng sè* (remaining calm and collected), "From the moment you entered the room, the two of you have been talking and laughing all the time, and she has been by your side since the incident, but you still said her name..."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" Feng Bujue asked, and at the same time, he winked at Schofield, signaling the detective not to interrupt.

"I don't know... maybe it's because of Kolston's estate..." Carol said, "Dennis is the eldest son, isn't she the biggest threat to her stepmother? And... and..." She hesitated.

"And a twenty-eight-year-old woman, marrying a fifty-five-year-old man, was initially for money, right?" Feng Bujue said what the other party couldn't say.

Carol didn't respond to him, just lowered her head and remained silent.

"Okay, I understand." Feng Bujue said, "Thank you very much for providing the information, I will reconsider the whole case with the detective." He had already gotten what he wanted, so he reached out and made a gesture of invitation, which was considered an eviction order, "Please."

…………

After Mrs. Carol left, Feng Bujue ordered Dumpty outside the door to bring in the next suspect, and then closed the door casually.

"You are really sharp, Mr. Feng." Before Brother Jue could turn around, Schofield said, "Some things, even I can't say."

"To be blunt... I was being a complete jerk just now, right?" Feng Bujue said, laughing at himself.

"No, no, no..." Schofield waved his hand with a smile, but this expression was actually an admission.

"Sometimes, in order to achieve the purpose of questioning." Feng Bujue said in an indifferent tone, "Being annoying is inevitable." He walked back to the desk, "Regardless of whether the other party is male, female, old, young, tall, short, fat, or thin; regardless of their high or low status, character, or reputation; whether they are presidents, beggars, priests, or hooligans. The detective has only one purpose—to get the information they want from their mouths. Not to win their favor."

"Mmm, mmm..." Schofield nodded, looking very receptive.

Feng Bujue continued, "So... next, I will make increasingly worse remarks without losing my composure. You better be prepared."
