It's been three days since I last made an appointment with Feng Ming. During this period, Wei Zhongwen and his party did not relax their surveillance of Qin Kai, fortunately, in the past three days, the other party has not been abnormal, nor has he shown any excesses, which is enough to show that Feng Ming has not been exposed at this time.

Everything was going according to plan, as Wei Zhongwen expected, and there were even some unexpected gains.

On this day, Wei Zhongwen received a call from Tang Yuran early, saying that when she was studying Xu Ziqing's diary, she had made a new discovery, and if it was convenient, she would invite Wei Zhongwen to the research institute.

After receiving the news, Wei Zhongwen naturally rushed over non-stop. New clues at this time naturally mean good news, as long as there are new clues, it means that they may be one step closer to the truth.

came to the research institute as promised, and at this time, Tang Yuran was the only one in the office.

"They're all going to the meeting, and I'll stay on the pretext that something is going on, but just in case they come back, we'll make a long story short." Tang Yuran looked at Wei Zhongwen and explained.

"In that case, why don't you change places?" Wei Zhongwen proposed.

"Forget it, in addition to this matter, I have other work on hand, and I also accidentally discovered Ziqing's clues today, I hope it can help this case."

"Okay, let's talk about your findings." Wei Zhongwen didn't add more politeness, but said straight to the point.

"When I was looking through my diary this morning, I noticed that there was a missing page in the whole diary. And the content before and after it does seem to be missing something.,If you don't find the missing pages on this page.,The content can really be said.,But once you find this.,No matter how you read it, you will feel awkward.。 ”

"There's a page missing, where does it appear?" Wei Zhongwen said, and hurriedly attached himself to see it clearly.

"If you don't look closely, it's really not easy to find, because the left and right sides of this diary are symmetrical, and if you tear off half of it, only the other half will be left, but the other party is very clever when you tear it up, and if you don't look carefully, you won't notice it at all." Tang Yuran continued.

"In other words, this page should have been deliberately torn by someone, and the other party knew that the content on this page was very important and didn't want to be seen by others, so he tore it up."

"So who could this person be? Will it be Ziqing? Tang Yuran couldn't help but ask.

"It's hard to say, generally speaking, if it's a secret that you don't want others to see, and you regret it after writing it, so it's normal to tear off the content of this page, but it's strange that this thing is strange, the other party is too careful when tearing up the notebook, if you don't want others to see the content on it, you just need to tear it off at will, you don't need to be so careful at all."

"Unless it's... Ziqing knew that someone would read her diary, so she tore up some extremely private content. ”

If that's really the case, while she doesn't want to be seen by the other party, she is also afraid that she will be discovered by the other party, so she doesn't want the other party to notice that there is such a page. In other words, this guy is very threatening to Xu Ziqing. ”

"Is there any other possibility?" Tang Yuran asked.

"Other possibilities... There are also yes, because this notebook not only passed through Xu Ziqing's hand, but also passed through the hand of the unknown sender, for what purpose, the other party wanted to quietly erase the information on this page, which I can't guess for the time being. However, from the perspective of interests, if it does not touch the interests of the other party, the other party will not do it. ”

"That means that what Ziqing wrote on it is very likely to be related to the sender, is that what it means?"

"Yes, but that's just one of the assumptions."

"Mr. Wei, which hypothesis do you think is more likely?" Tang Yuran then asked.

"Judging from the clues we know now, Xu Ziqing should have been threatened by Qin Kai and forced to join his organization when she wrote this page of her diary, so Qin Kai at this time is a threat to her, and Xu Ziqing should be afraid of her. Especially what she wrote in her diary, she didn't want to be seen by Qin Kai. ”

"Therefore, if this diary is seen by Qin Kai, Qin Kai is likely to destroy it in a fit of anger, and it is impossible to keep it at all."

"Yes, it's quite possible." Wei Zhongwen said, and couldn't help but nodded.

In that case, it is likely that the latter assumption is made. On the one hand, this sender wanted to provide us with the clues left by Ziqing, and on the other hand, he didn't want us to find any clues related to him, so he chose to tear up this page in case we found something. But what will be written on this page, and what will it have to do with that guy? Tang Yuran whispered to himself.

"If you want to know what was written on the previous page, you have to start with the next page. It reads, 'I've really had enough of this life, and I can't see the slightest hope, and it's not an exaggeration to say that I'm working for the tiger.' But the saddest thing is that I have no choice, even with a sharp blade in my hand, I have no chance of winning. I understood that this guy was like a poisonous snake, tightly wound around me, but such a thing was not enough to give him a fatal blow, and even provoked him if he was not careful, and at that time, the consequences were even more unimaginable. But is there any other way I can do it? Isn't hope and rebirth worth risking your life? Wei Zhongwen looked at the diary and quietly read out the contents.

"With a sharp blade in his hand, does Ziqing have the intention to kill Qin Kai?" Tang Yuran said, looking palpitating, this kind of thing, no matter how you look at it, the other party has no chance of winning.

"It's not like, if you look at the back that it says, 'just one such thing, it's not enough to give him a fatal blow', and here we use 'one thing', not 'a knife' or 'a wound', so the aforementioned 'holding a sharp blade' should be just a metaphor." Wei Zhongwen said analytically.

"Yes, you're right, Ziqing often uses some rhetorical devices when she writes in her diary, so it's still very possible." Tang Yuran said approvingly.

"So what could it be? It is related to Qin Kai and the sender. Wei Zhongwen said.

"Mr. Wei, with my understanding of Ziqing, if she really can't stand this kind of life, even if there is a little hope to change the status quo, she will do it, Ziqing is definitely not a forward-looking girl, she has always dared to love and hate, dare to act."

"So you mean, in the end, Xu Ziqing is likely to have a showdown with Qin Kai, right?" Wei Zhongwen asked rhetorically.

"That's right, and I also suspect that it may be because of this threat to Qin Kai that Qin Kai finally chose to do something to Ziqing."

"If that's the case, then everything will be in place. So now the key point is to find the missing page of the notebook. As long as he finds that, he may be able to catch Qin Kai's handle, so that he can be brought to justice, if that incident is not trivial, Qin Kai will definitely not kill people for this matter. ”

"But, isn't Ziqing's life as important as a secret?" Tang Yuran couldn't help but ask.

"What if this secret can kill Qin Kai? In the case of threatening his own interests, a person like Qin Kai will definitely choose to protect himself. ”

"I see... This Qin Kai is really too ruthless..."Tang Yuran said, his tone full of grief. Every time he gets close to the truth, he will always make Tang Yuran feel the cruelty of the truth. She couldn't understand why a girl in the middle of her flower season would fall into the situation of being used by others and finally forced to death. "Mr. Wei, I have one more question..."After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yuran still asked.

"Please."

"Do you think this sender wants to help us?" Tang Yuran asked.

"Actually, you already have the answer in mind, don't you?"

"Yes, but I still hope to get a definite answer from you, maybe then I can feel more at ease." Tang Yuran said without hesitation.

"On the surface, this person has been doing things to help us, sending you the diary so that you can discover the hidden facts of Xu Ziqing's case, and informing us of Qin Kai's hiding place, so that the police can smoothly trace the past. It seems that with his hand, our case is going exceptionally well. However, there is one thing that you may not want to hear, but since you have asked me, I feel obliged to tell you, lest it affect you badly. ”

"Okay, thank you for being willing to tell me." Tang Yuran responded with a smile.

"In the beginning, we linked the three cases together, that is, they must have some degree of similarity, and as the investigation deepened, we gradually found the connection points between the cases, and it is more certain that there is a connection between the three. Now, according to the clues we have, in Zhang Jingya's case, the other party did die by suicide. But at the scene of the crime at that time, in addition to the deceased, there should have been another person. And everyone involved in this case had an alibi at the time of the crime, so who could that person be at the scene, do you understand what I mean? Wei Zhongwen said, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"I see... What you mean is that the sender may be trying to help us, but at the same time, he may be the one closest to the truth, and such a person at the center of the vortex will not be innocent and will not have any stain at all. And the person who was at the scene at the time of the crime could also be him, right? After Tang Yuran finished speaking, he looked at Wei Zhongwen very seriously, as if asking for proof.
