In order to read the contents of the book carefully without interference, Lawyer Song took the book to the study alone. Yu Cheng's mother temporarily went upstairs to rest, while Nie Ming sat bored in the living room watching TV.

The maid of Yu Cheng's family made a cup of high-end Sumatran coffee for Nie Ming, and Nie Ming savored the bitterness of the coffee, imagining Yu Cheng's luxurious life in this wealthy family - but all this no longer belonged to him.

About half an hour later, Nie Ming suddenly saw Lawyer Song almost rushing out of the study with a pale face, holding the black book in his hand, trembling all over, as if he had encountered something terrible.

Nie Ming suddenly stood up from the sofa and asked, "Lawyer Song, what happened?" ”

Lawyer Song stumbled over to Nie Ming's side and said incoherently, "Mr. Nie, you...... Can I go out...... Would you like me to go to the yard? ”

Nie Ming hurriedly hugged Lawyer Song and said, "Okay." ”

The two sat on a resting stone bench in the courtyard, and Lawyer Song still had a frightened expression, beads of sweat on his forehead, and his lips trembled.

"What the hell is going on? Lawyer Song, are you not feeling well? Nie Ming asked eagerly.

Lawyer Song's mood stabilized a little, he looked at Nie Ming and said, "Before Yu Cheng died, did you say anything that made you feel strange?" ”

Nie Ming was stunned: "No, right...... I don't have much of an impression anymore. ”

"Think about it! Did he say anything other than to let you find this little book? ”

Nie Ming frowned and thought for a few minutes, then said, "By the way, he did say something strange, and at that time, I felt strange...... I don't know what that means. ”

"What is it? What is he talking about? Lawyer Song grabbed Nie Ming's hand and asked, the sweat on his palms had already soaked the back of Nie Ming's hand.

Nie Ming didn't know what was important that made Lawyer Song so nervous, he felt that the person in front of him who looked flustered was completely different from the old lawyer who had become stable and reserved just now.

"Hmm...... He looked very panicked when he felt that he was dying, and it gave me the feeling that he was not afraid that his life was coming to an end, but that he was worried about something else, something he hadn't had time to finish...... He said, let me find the book, this matter is more important than his life...... However, what struck me the most strange thing was what he said. ”

"What is it? Think about it! Lawyer Song's expression was extremely nervous.

"He said to me, 'I am not allowed to die here...... I had to die in my own home! I was stunned for a moment, I didn't know what he meant by that. ”

Lawyer Song's hand slowly drooped, his eyes stared straight ahead, and after a while, he finally said, "That's right...... That's it. ”

Nie Ming felt inexplicable, and he asked, "Lawyer Song, are you asking this...... What does that mean exactly? Did you find something from this book? ”

Lawyer Song didn't speak, he silently opened half of the black book, and then pulled out the dozens of pages in the middle.

Lawyer Song...... What are you? Nie Ming was puzzled.

Lawyer Song shook his head and said, "I didn't tear off these 30 pages, but I have long been sandwiched between this notebook." Actually,This black book is just a cover to hide the truth.,It's all trivial things written on it.,What's really valuable is all in this little book.。 ”

"Could it be that the 'little book' that Yu Cheng refers to is actually just this book with only 30 pages?"

Lawyer Song nodded and said, "Yes, I took this black book and looked at it for a while, and I found that it had been tampered with - the thirty pages in the middle of it were torn off and replaced with this small book." Obviously, this is done to use this thick black book as a cover-up, so that the person who gets this book will not immediately come into contact with the secret facts recorded in this small book! ”

Nie Ming became more and more curious: "So, what is written on this?" Can you show me? ”

Hearing this, Lawyer Song's expression became nervous again, he put the small notebook back into the black notebook, hugged it tightly, and said, "No! You can't watch! I can't give it to you! ”

Nie Ming hurriedly explained: "Lawyer Song, you don't have to be nervous. As I said earlier, I don't necessarily have to watch it, I'm just a little curious when I hear you say that. If you don't want me to see it, I won't force it. ”

Lawyer Song exhaled and calmed down a little: "Mr. Nie, please believe me, I don't believe anything from you...... What is written in this notebook is not at all the financial problems we imagined before, but ......" At this point, he stopped.

Nie Ming felt itchy and unbearable, but he felt inconvenient to ask.

At this time, Lawyer Song stood up, looked at Nie Ming and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Nie, please tell Mrs. Sima (Yu Cheng's mother) that I have taken this notebook for the time being, and when I confirm what is written in the notebook, I should return it to Yu's house." With that, he walked straight out the door.

Nie Ming looked at Lawyer Song's back and was amazed - this kind of non-resignation is really not like what an old lawyer in his sixties does. He couldn't understand what could make a veteran lawyer who had been handling cases for decades so scareless.

Nie Ming returned to the living room of the big house, briefly told Yu Cheng's mother what had just happened, and then politely said goodbye and left the Yu family's mansion.

When Nie Ming returned home, he felt exhausted. He fell headlong on his bed, his eyes naturally closed—and the moment he closed his eyes, he saw the quartz clock hanging on the wall: six thirty-five.
