Recommended Crossing for the End:

The old lawyer didn't have much to do at home, only a few large folders, which contained some manuscripts, materials, letters, and the like. Then there are a few books and notebooks. When I packed it up, I used a large plastic bag to fill it all.

Nie Ming and Song Jingci said goodbye to Yu Jie and returned to Song Jingci's home with the old lawyer's relics. At this time, Song Yu had already finished the lunch he had made and was taking a nap.

Nie Ming lit a cigarette, took a hard breath, and slowly exhaled the cyan smoke.

"I thought you didn't smoke." Song Jingci sat down and said.

"Generally don't smoke," Nie Ming turned his head to look at her, "What do you think of what Yu Jie just said?" ”

Song Jingci sighed softly and said, "From a psychoanalytic point of view, it is very likely that he is telling the truth. ”

Nie Ming nodded thoughtfully: "I think so too, it is impossible for him to make up such a flawless story without any psychological preparation." ”

"If what he said is true, then it makes perfect sense that he was curious about that black book."

"But that curiosity doesn't lead him to kill — in that case, he can't be a murderer."

"Yes, the trail is broken again." Song Jingci was full of frustration, "We have lost our direction again now, and we don't know what to do next." ”

"Let me think again." Nie Ming closed his eyes and rested his head on the back of the sofa.

"Don't rush, take your time." Song Jingci stood up and said, "I'm going to make two cups of coffee." ”

Nie Ming lay alone on the sofa in the living room and thought for more than ten minutes, feeling clueless, he sat up and saw the folder of the old lawyer they had just brought back from Yu's house.

Nie Ming had a whim: could there be anything useful recorded in this? He came to his senses, flipped through a folder, and pulled out one of the articles.

Nie Ming looked at the title of this article - "Handling and compensation plan for vicious dog injury incidents." ”

It seems that this is a case that the old lawyer has taken on before, and it is written by the old lawyer himself.

Nie Ming skimmed through the manuscript - this is an ordinary civil litigation copy.

Nie Ming pursed his lips, put the copy back in its place, and fell on the sofa again.

A minute later, he suddenly straightened up and flipped the article out again, looking at it closely.

Immediately after, Nie Ming found several other manuscripts from the folder, and he quickly skimmed through each one.

At this time, Song Jingci walked out of the kitchen with coffee, and when she saw Nie Ming turning over her father's manuscripts all over the table, she couldn't help but exclaim: "Nie Ming! What are you doing? ”

"Quick! Get out the notepad your father left behind! Nie Ming shouted.

"You...... What was found? ”

"Bring it!" Nie Ming said without raising his head.

Song Jingci put down the coffee, walked to her room, took out the green notepad, and handed it to Nie Ming.

Nie Ming looked at the message on the notepad again, he opened his mouth, and closed the notepad again.

"What the hell is going on? What did you find? Song Jingci asked anxiously.

Nie Ming picked up the "Handling and Compensation Plan for the Vicious Dog Injury Incident" and put it in front of Song Jingci and said, "Take a look at this article. ”

Song Jingci took a quick look, raised her head in confusion, and asked, "What's wrong with this article?" Is there something wrong? ”

"Let's take a look at these articles." Nie Ming handed Song Jingci a few more manuscripts from the old lawyer.

Song Jingci skimmed through each manuscript, still confused: "These articles are very ordinary, nothing special!" ”

Nie Ming shook his head and said, "No, it's not the content. If you look at the format of these articles, this 'vicious dog' is about 3,000 words and is divided into four paragraphs, with an average of nearly 800 words per paragraph. ”

"Look at these articles again, almost every one of them is like this - a paragraph is about seven or eight hundred words, and many are nearly a thousand words."

"What does that mean?" Song Jingci asked.

"Illustrates your father's writing habits! Everyone has their own writing habits, and your father's habit is that he doesn't like to break through paragraphs too often! Each segment is long! ”

"And the message he left - only one or two hundred words in total, just one or two hundred sentences in total, just a paragraph for each sentence, don't you think it's strange?" Nie Ming opened the notepad and placed it in front of Song Jingci.

Song Jingci carefully looked at the paragraphs written on the notepad for a while, and frowned: "Do you suspect that the words left on this notepad were not written by my father?" ”

"But judging from the handwriting, it was indeed written by your father."

Song Jingci spread her hands: "Then I don't understand, why is this?" ”

Nie Ming was silent for a while, and said, "You have noticed the day written on this notepad, it is not the day of the incident. Do you know what's the point? ”

"Yes, I figured out the date wasn't right, but I don't know what it means."

"December 23......" Nie Ming repeated the date several times and asked, "...... Isn't this a special day? ”

Song Jingci shook her head: "I recalled the special days of all of our family, and I didn't find anything to do with this date." ”

Nie Ming thought for a moment and asked, "What day is your mother's death?" ”

Song Jingci shrugged her shoulders and said, "I've thought about it for a long time, but no, my mother's death day is January 22. ”

Nie Ming lowered his head and fell into deep thought again.

A few minutes later, he opened the green notepad again, his eyes fixed on the date in the lower right corner.

Suddenly, he opened his mouth, seemed to realize something, grabbed the notebook, and looked down from top with a frown.

Looking at it, Nie Ming's body trembled slightly, and sweat trickled down his forehead.

"You...... What did you find? Song Jingci hurriedly asked.

"I see! This book was really manipulated by Lawyer Song! I understand it all! Nie Ming exclaimed.

"What! You get it! What's going on? Song Jingci asked anxiously.

"Look." Nie Ming excitedly put the notebook in front of Song Jingci, "'05.12.23' written under this notebook, we have always thought that this is a date, right?" ”

"Could it be...... Isn't it? ”

"This place is where the old lawyer's secret lies! He made each of us think it was a date, but in reality – you remove the decimal point in the middle of the numbers. ”

Song Jingci glanced at it and said, "Then it becomes six numbers like '051223'." ”

"Okay, count again, how many paragraphs are there in this text?"

Song Jingci counted: "Six paragraphs." ”

Nie Ming's blazing eyes stared at her: "Do you see it?" ”

"Hmm...... I don't think I understand. Song Jingci shook her head in confusion, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"Now you look at it again – take the six numbers for each of the six paragraphs, and take the corresponding word in each paragraph. Get your feet wet! ”

Song Jingci moved the book in front of her and watched it carefully again.

"Everything is clear. I've proven that what was written in that notebook is true.

It's terrible that the secret that that person has been hiding for so many years has been known to me!

Maybe he'll come to me before I reveal this secret, and I probably won't live long, and he won't let me go.

How long did it take him to disguise himself? What the hell is he now? Is he still human? No, that's not something a man can do, he's not a human anymore.

He doesn't know how many years he has been acting in this play. I'm such an old fool, he's been hiding around all of us for so many years, and I haven't even recognized him.

Wisdom in Heaven, I may be able to accompany you soon. If I die, let this secret live forever underground. ”

After watching it for a few minutes, she exclaimed, "Oh my God! If the first paragraph takes '0', the second paragraph takes the 5th word, the third paragraph takes the first word, and the fourth paragraph takes the second word......"

"Did you spell it out?"

Song Jingci raised her head in surprise and said slowly, "So that's ......"

Nie Ming nodded silently, then picked up a ballpoint pen on the coffee table and wrote those words on a piece of paper:

Hidden in a flower stand. Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
