At half past nine in the morning of the next day, Song Jingci met with Nie Ming on time in the street garden.

"We're going to Yu's house now. I hope Yu Jie didn't go out. Nie Ming looked at his watch and said.

"If there are no special circumstances, a wealthy man like him would not get up so early. I don't think we have to worry about not seeing him. ”

"Let's go, then." Nie Ming raised his hand and hailed a taxi.

Half an hour later, they sat smoothly in the living room of the Yu family's big house.

The maid made two cups of tea and put them in front of Nie Ming and Song Jingci, and asked, "Do you want to see Mrs. Sima or Mr. Yu Jie?" Mrs. Sima hadn't gotten up yet, and Mr. Yu Jie was exercising in the back garden. ”

"Don't wake up Mrs. Sima. Let's find Mr. Yu Jie, please let me know. Song Jingci said with a smile.

"Okay, you two, please wait a minute." The maid turned and left.

A few minutes later, Yu Jie, who was wearing a sportswear, came to the living room, he was sweating profusely, and he had obviously only done strenuous exercise.

"Jingci...... And Nie Ming, why are you here? Yu Jie sat down, and at the same time took the hot towel handed by the maid and wiped the sweat from his face.

"I'm sorry to bother you so early." Song Jingci said.

"It's okay," Yu Jie shrugged, "Do you have anything to do?" ”

"So, my father has a dedicated office in your house, right? Now that he's gone, I want to take his stuff home as a keepsake. ”

"Oh...... That's as it should be," Yu Jie said, "and our whole family is very sorry for the death of Lawyer Song." ”

"Thank you. So, where is that office? ”

"I'll let the servant take you." Yu Jie called the maid just now, "You take Miss Song and them to Lawyer Song's office." ”

"Lawyer Song's office is here, please come with me." The maid motioned for Nie Ming and Song Jingci to follow her.

Before walking out of this living room, Yu Jie suddenly asked, "I'm sorry, I'm really curious, how can the two of you be together?" ”

Nie Ming and Song Jingci glanced at each other, and Nie Ming turned around and said, "On the afternoon of the old lawyer's accident, he called me into the garden and told me something - Miss Song felt that this would help uncover the truth about her father's murder, so she asked me to help her." ”

Yu Jie's lips opened slightly. After a few seconds, he asked, "Old lawyer...... Told you something? What is it? ”

Nie obviously looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't say." With that, he prepared to leave the house.

"Wait, Nie Ming. And so you did...... Got some secrets, right? ”

As soon as these words were spoken, Yu Jie's hand shook unnaturally, as if he realized the gaffe.

Nie Ming took a step closer to Yu Jie and asked, "I just said, the old lawyer told me something, how do you know that he is going to tell me a secret?" ”

"Because Lawyer Song came to talk to you after reading that black book, he must have told you some secrets of that book......"

"But how did you know that the black book was a secret?"

"I ......"

"You've seen that black book!" Nie Ming said loudly.

Yu Jie slowly sat on the sofa, his face extremely ugly. The maid apparently didn't know what was going on, and stood by helplessly.

"You go down first." Yu Jie waved his hand at the maid, and then said to Nie Ming and Song Jingci, "Please sit down and listen to me." ”

Of course, this was the situation that Nie Ming was looking forward to the most, he glanced at Song Jingci, and the two sat back in their original places.

"Nie Ming, can you tell me what the old lawyer said to you? What the hell is in that notebook? Yu Jie suddenly looked at Nie Ming with an expectant look, and there was a pleading in his tone.

Nie Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "Don't you know that what is recorded in that book is a secret?" I thought you had seen it. ”

Yu Jie shook his head: "If I have seen it, do I still need to ask you here?" ”

Nie Ming and Song Jingci glanced at each other again, the two of them were completely confused.

Yu Jie let out a long sigh: "Actually, I've really read this book once." Just ......"

He stopped, his eyes fixed on the ceiling, and he was caught up in a memories. After a while, he continued: "When I was eight years old, something happened that scares me to this day. One day, my father was working in the study of this house, and I was playing in the living room...... My mother came and told me to call my father, and she wanted to discuss something with him. So, I went to knock on the door of the study, and my father quickly came and opened the door. I told him that my mother was looking for him, and he nodded yes, and shoved a black notebook on his desk into the fifth floor of the bookcase—a height that I couldn't reach at my height at the time. After that, he went out......"

"I stayed in his study, wondering – what kind of book was that? Why did my father hide it so high up after he left for so little while? Driven by curiosity, I found a chair, then stood on it, stood on tiptoe, and finally got the black notebook I had just had, and I took it down. ”

"When I got the notebook, I opened it, and was about to look at it when suddenly my father barged in. When he saw that I was opening the notebook, he screamed, rushed over and snatched the notebook, closed it, and ......"

Yu Jie trembled and fought a cold war. After a pause of a few seconds, his voice began to tremble: "My father is usually gentle and approachable. But at that moment, as if crazy, he looked at me with wide eyes, and then grabbed my shoulder with one hand. I was caught by him in a lot of pain, and struggled desperately, but he pressed it tighter, and asked me if I had just read this book. ”

"I was scared, he never did that to me, I just honestly said 'no, I didn't see it, I just got it.'" However, my father didn't seem to believe me, and he asked me no less than five times, 'You really didn't watch?' Let's be honest! Do you see it? ’”

"I was scared to tears. I even had a strange and frightened feeling at the time that my father had an unspeakable secret recorded in this black book, and if I really read it, he might even kill me! ”

"I had to argue desperately, crying and swearing, that I had never looked at a single eye. My father seemed to believe something, he let me go, and I was crazy to get out of this house. Suddenly, he grabbed me again and whispered to me, 'You are not allowed to tell anyone about this, including your mother.' I nodded quickly, and he stared at me for a while, and finally let go of his hand and let me go......"

After Yu Jie finished talking about this, he held his head with his right hand and frowned. It's like going back to the day when I made a mistake more than a decade ago.

"That'...... Did you even see what was written in that black notebook? Nie Ming asked.

"Of course I didn't! If I had seen it, I would have asked you so nervously just now? ”

"Wait,So,This book isn't Yu Cheng at all.。 Rather, your father's? Song Jingci asked.

Yu Jie nodded: "Actually, since this incident, I don't know the whereabouts of this book at all, and I definitely don't dare to inquire about this book...... It wasn't until my brother died, Nie Ming came to our house, and when I talked about my brother's will, I learned that my father had passed this book to my brother who was the eldest son. Now,Because of this book,Something like this happened again...... I ......"

Yu Jie stopped, he seemed to be grabbed by his throat by fear, and gasped sharply.

Song Jingci suddenly remembered something and asked, "Your father, is it the eldest son of the Yu family?" ”

"Yes."

"When did your father pass this book to Yu Cheng?"

"I don't know, maybe my father gave it to my brother before he died!"

Nie Ming frowned and asked, "How did your father die!" ”

Yu Jie raised his head and looked at Nie Ming: "Why are you asking this?" ”

"I'm sorry, I'm feeling a little weird. Your father died in middle age. You just said that he may have handed over the black book to Yu Cheng before he died. Did he know when he was going to die? ”

Yu Jie was silent for a while and said, "Actually, I don't know ...... very well."

"You don't know how your father died?" Nie Ming felt incredulous.

"You know, our family has an ancestral family rule that the eldest son must live in that white house to the west." "I remember when I was fifteen years old, one day, my brother received a phone call from my father from the White House. Yu Cheng put down the phone and hurriedly ran to the white house. About an hour later, he came out with my father in his arms, and by that time, my father had already lost his breath. ”

"What did he die of?"

Yu Cheng said that his father died of a heart attack, and later the forensic doctor examined it and thought it was so.

Song Jingci suddenly covered her mouth: "Your father died in that white house...... That Yu Cheng, he still dares to live alone in that white house every day in the future? ”

"It's a family rule, it's not something my brother wants to do or not, he doesn't have a choice. Besides, I don't think he will feel any discomfort either. ”

"Why?" Nie Ming asked.

Yu Jie sighed again: "My father and my brother ...... Very similar, both of them are complete eccentrics. They used to talk about something in a room, and they would never involve anyone else - oh yes, except for his friend, who often came to my father. After my father's death, Yu Cheng was like him, often staying alone in that white house for more than ten hours, I don't think normal people would like to do this. I don't understand how they would want to stay in such a horrible white house. If it were me, even if I wasn't the heir of the Yu family, I wouldn't stay there! Sooner or later, you'll go crazy! ”

"Sounds like you've been in?" Nie Ming asked.

"I haven't been in!" Yu Jie's face suddenly turned red, "It's too late for me to avoid that white house!" I'm not going to go in! ”

"Then now, Yu Cheng is dead, who will live in that white house?"

"No one lives. Yu Cheng has no son, and according to the family rules, no one is qualified to enter this house now. Yu Jie stopped suddenly, "Didn't you come to get the old lawyer's things?" Why do we ask so much about our family's private affairs? ”

"Oh, yes. We've got to get something. Nie Ming said a little apologetically, "I was just curious just now, so I asked a little more, I'm sorry." Then he stood up with Song Jingci.

"Okay, now can you tell me what secret the old lawyer told you?"

"The old lawyer told me the secret that there was a great secret hidden in this black book. Other than that, I don't know anything. Nie Ming spread his hands helplessly.

Yu Jie looked at him and didn't say a word for a long time.
