Recommended Crossing for the End:

Song Jingci rushed out of the western restaurant and quickly stopped a taxi.

"I'm sorry, I have to go. I'll get back to you another day. She got into the car and said to Nie Ming.

"I'll go with you." Nie Ming didn't wait for Song Jingci to agree, and sat down beside her.

"Nie Ming, you ......"

"If the situation is really as you say, how are you going to deal with it alone?"

Song Jingci glanced at Nie Ming gratefully, and then said to the driver: "Go to Jiangyuan Road, hurry up!" ”

The car began to move quickly towards its destination.

Twenty minutes later, they were at the bottom of an elevator apartment building. Song Jingci stuffed the fare to the driver, and then immediately got out of the car.

Nie Ming and Song Jingci took the elevator to the ninth floor. In the elevator room, Song Jingci stomped her feet anxiously.

"Don't be in a hurry, I don't think it's going to be such a coincidence." Nie Ming comforted.

Song Jingci nodded slightly, her brows still locked.

After the elevator door opened, Song Jingci rushed out quickly, she trembled and took out the key from her purse and opened the door of room 902.

"Song Yu! Are you there? Song Jingci shouted after entering the house.

She searched next to each other in several rooms. Finally, in a book room, she found her younger brother Song Yu, a fourteen-year-old boy reading a thick book. Obviously, his sister's sudden appearance startled him a lot.

Song Jingci hugged her younger brother and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Thank God! You're okay. ”

Song Yu was held in his sister's arms, but he still had a wooden expression and didn't say a word.

Seeing this scene, Nie Ming was puzzled: Could it be that Song Yu is a mute?

Song Jingci turned around, saw Nie Ming's confused expression, let go of Song Yu, walked over to Nie Ming and said, "Let's go to the living room to talk." ”

Nie Ming sat on the high-end European-style leather sofa in the living room, took a cup of tea handed by Song Jingci, and finally couldn't help asking, "Your brother...... Can't speak? We called him for so long, and he didn't say a word. ”

Song Jingci sat down and sighed: "No, he is not dumb. Not long after he came to our house, he developed severe autism. After that, I barely heard him speak. ”

"He's coming to your house? ...... put it this way."

Song Jingci nodded: "Yes, he is not my father's son." It was my father's second wife, the child my stepmother brought over six years ago. It was only when he arrived at our house that he changed his surname to Song. ”

"So, how is your stepmother doing now?"

"A few years after she married into our family, she fell ill and died not long after. This was a great blow to my father, who blamed himself for these calamities, and believed that he had a life to kill his wives, so much so that both of his wives died within a few years of marrying him. He has been living in self-reproach and vows never to marry again. ”

After a few seconds of silence, Nie Ming asked, "Perhaps, this is your private matter, and I shouldn't ask about it...... But I really want to know, why don't you and Song Woo live with your father, but separate from him and live here alone? ”

Song Jingci shook her head: "You don't know, my stepmother is a full ten years younger than my father. After getting her, my father tried everything to please her in order to make her happy. But at the same time, it also snubbed me and Song Yu. In addition, Song Yu didn't pay attention to my father at home, but was closer to me. So, after my stepmother died, Song Woo and I moved here. ”

Nie Ming nodded in understanding.

"My father and I have a little bit of a cold relationship because of this, but we still visit him every week, and my father has always cared for me. I...... No one will be allowed to hurt him! Speaking of this, Song Jingci's eyes were full of anger, and her emotions became excited again.

After a while, she calmed down a bit: "We are in a very passive situation now, and we don't know what the murderer will do. ”

"Maybe we can get ahead of him." Nie Ming said.

"What are we supposed to do?"

Nie Ming thought for a while and said, "That notepad left by your father is with you?" You take it out, and we'll look into it again, and maybe we'll find something. ”

"Okay, you wait a minute." Song Jingci got up and walked into her room.

A minute later, she returned to the living room with the blue notepad.

Nie Ming opened the notepad and read the messages with unknown meaning again. He asked Song Jingci: "What do you think of these paragraphs?" ”

"I don't understand it at all."

"But it gives us some clues." Nie Ming said.

"Yes, I noticed it too. The killer was a man, and it could be someone we knew and were familiar with—"

Speaking of this, Song Jingci stopped. She rubbed her left index finger back and forth on her temple, as if she had thought of something for a split second.

"What, who do you remember?" Nie Ming asked.

"Hmm...... Before, I focused on you. And now, I have ruled you out and trusted you completely. Then now that I think about it, there was a guy who ......" she stopped.

Nie Ming sat up straight and looked at her.

"Let's think about it this way: on the afternoon of the incident, only you, Mrs. Sima, Yu Cheng's younger brother, and my father knew about the existence of a mysterious black book. And my father, as the only one who read this little book, was killed in just three hours, and then the black book was taken—"

"And the murderer is a man." Nie Ming somewhat understood, "It's someone your father knows again." ”

"Have you noticed that too? In this way, there is only one person left except you. ”

"Yu Cheng's younger brother Yu Jie! Do you suspect it's him? ”

"Who else is more suspicious, at least for now? Moreover, he also has full motives for committing the crime - after Yu Cheng's death, he became the heir of the Yu family. If we assume that there are some secrets about Yu Jie written in this black book - do you think of the stakes in this? “

"So, he killed your father and took the notebook—perhaps to prevent the secrets written in the black notebook from leaking out to his own detriment?"

"All I can say is that this is the most likely speculation at the moment."

But it's just a guess. We don't have any evidence that he did that. ”

"But at least we have a goal to investigate."

Nie Ming frowned and said, "Don't forget, he is now the heir of the Yu family. Why did we two ordinary people approach him? What is his obligation to cooperate with us? ”

Song Jingci thought for a while and said, "I have a way, my father has worked for the Yu family for decades. At home, there is an office dedicated to him. I think there must have been a lot of his stuff in there. We can take the opportunity to get his relics back and ask Yu Jie about something. ”

"Hmm...... It makes sense. Yu Jie wouldn't have guessed that we were suspicious of him. ”

"But the question is, how are we going to ask him? Aren't you going to ask, 'I'm sorry, do you think my father's death had anything to do with you?' ”

Nie Ming held his chin with his hand and began to think.

A minute later, he slapped his thigh hard: "I know how to test him!" When are we going to Yujia? ”

"The sooner the better, preferably tomorrow – but are you really sure? How are you going to take his words? ”

"Secrecy for now." Nie Ming smiled lightly. Remember to read it: convenient for next time, or.
