Chapter 22 Chapter 20 How many secrets do you have?

"She's my younger sister." Qin Huai filled glasses of ice water for Na Lan and himself.Only then did Nalan realize that Qin Huai's T-shirt was a little wet, as was her hair. "Your sister?" The implication: unbelievable. "I know, you never heard I had a sister." Na Lan shook her head and said, "Yesterday, Deng Xiao showed me Kuang Yihui's photo." Qin Huai's whole body trembled, and after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "They...do have some imaginations." "It's not a little like." "If you put your photo and Ning Yuxin's photo together with theirs, others will feel the same way."

Nalan knew that what he said made sense.Gu Yiyang once said that although he loves to see beautiful women, he will never be able to tell who those first-line actresses are.Exaggerated, but makes sense. "Why don't people know that you have this sister?" "You mean I hid her on purpose?" "How else to explain the basement?" "Is your neck feeling better?" That's the question!She immediately understood that these words seemed to be caring, but they were actually answering, if the woman was allowed to go free, how many people would enjoy the feeling of suffocation?This explains the basic clearance.

"When you first came here, you were just my writing assistant, not a life consultant. In fact, there are many people who know that I have a younger sister, including Deng Xiao." Qin Huai paused, as if he was thinking about something, and finally said, " And Bayusheng." "But why did you lock her up underground?" Na Lan also hoped that Qin Huai would give her more reasons. "Few people can understand that if a family member has mental problems..." "I can understand it." Nalan interrupted coldly. "I know...your mother has suffered from severe depression since your father passed away suddenly." It seems that Qin Huai has also done research on Nalan. "You have always been worried about her. For four years in college, you took her to Jiangjing and rented a house in Jiangdabian. You went to see her almost every day. Your classmates discovered that you disappeared mysteriously every day and returned late at night, so that there was a period of time. Rumors spread all over the time, saying that you went to the 'Jinzuo' to sit on the stage."

"Jin Zuo", the leader of the nightclub, Jiangjing's version of "Heaven and Earth". Nalan asked: "Where did you hear these things?" But she knew that her "sitting at the gate" was really not a secret. Just find a girl from the department and invite her to the Starbucks by the school gate to make coffee and talk about it. Beauty, you can know a bunch of "those things about Nalan", some things about Nalan, even Nalan herself doesn't know. Qin Huai said, "You know, it's not difficult." "I didn't hide my mother deep in the basement." Na Lan found that the topic seemed to be deliberately changed.

"I just wanted to say that using your mother as an example, every patient has their own needs. This is difficult for people who have not experienced it personally. For example, my sister will feel safer away from strangers and prefer to be alone. It will break out and cry bitterly on the night of storm, thunder and lightning, so in order not to make you suspicious, I put a disc to suppress the crying, who would have thought you turned off the TV." "You mean, she is autistic on her own initiative? What is her diagnosis?" Nalan knows that in most cases, especially women, they will be afraid of being claustrophobic, and will not actively choose to be claustrophobic.

"Doctors only define a 'schizophrenia' in a general way, and it is still violent. In fact, it is far from that simple." "Maybe I can help." "Thank you for your kindness, but this is not the purpose of your coming to the island, nor the purpose of my inviting you." Qin Huai probably knew that his words were as cold as ice water in his hands, and tried to make up for it, warming up his tone slightly, Asked: "Your mother, why did you leave Jiangjing again?" Nalan was annoyed at Qin Huai's sudden attitude. She didn't want to pay attention to him, but when she looked into his eyes, her heart softened again, and she said, "She feels that she has improved a lot, and she wants to try to live on her own—although she has depression. Although she suffers from the disease, she is a very strong person—there are many relatives and friends for many years in her hometown, and she thinks it is a good change for her.”

"I can tell that you don't agree and don't feel relieved." Nalan bit her lip, and nodded for a long time before saying: "I have only one relative." She looked up at Qin Huai, you may understand it. The mist covered Qin Huai's eyes, and he said softly, "I can feel it, I really can feel it." "How many secrets do you still have?" Na Lan took small bites of a slice of toasted golden bread, which was covered with peach jam that was said to be made by Jun Jun himself. "A lot." Qin Huai replied without thinking. Finally, after a "stable" midnight, although the two woke up, there were still traces of a night of tossing under their eyes.

"Where were you last night? I mean, before you found out I was visiting your sister." "Are you going to apply to be my private secretary? Do you know the occupational hazards involved? It must be more cruel than a writing assistant." Clearly refusing to answer, Nalan had no choice but to ask again: "I know you don't want to talk about this topic, but I still have the courage to ask." Nalan warned Qin Huai. "Yi Hui?" "Yes, it's about Kuang Yihui..." "I thought Bayusheng and Deng Xiao had introduced you in detail." "But there are some questions that only you can answer."

"To give an example..." "Why can't you see anything commemorating her in your house?" Qin Huai suddenly turned around, and it could be seen that he was trying to suppress some kind of emotional outburst: "If this is what you really want to know, then you have come to the wrong place." "I need your help to understand why Ning Yuxin was killed, and who is following me." "So you're asking the wrong question. Your question has nothing to do with your investigation." "Since I need your help, I must first understand you. Ning Yuxin was your writing assistant before her death, and she has emotional entanglements. Even if I am the most inexperienced detective in the world, I will be the first to think of her. Will his death have anything to do with you?"

Qin Huai sneered and said, "You just happen to be the most inexperienced detective in the world. If I wanted to kill her, would I do it when the gossip tabloids were raging about our 'scandal'?" "I have told you that I believe in your innocence." Is that true?Nalan asked herself many times. "Then focus more on Ning Yuxin herself." Na Lan finally understood that Qin Huai's true thoughts and thousands of secrets could not be forced out of Qin Huai's mouth.She had no choice but to say: "Since you say that, you can always tell me what kind of work Ning Yuxin did when she was your writing assistant, and did she take any notes or reports?" She gradually got to know Ning Yuxin as a person. For a while, she will definitely not be idle and flirting with Qin Huai all day long.

Qin Huai turned around and left the kitchen, returned shortly after, and put a large envelope in front of Nalan's small plate: "This is all the records she wrote when she was my assistant, this is a copy, the original has been given to the Public Security Bureau .See for yourself." Nalan took out all the documents in the envelope, some were handwritten, some were computer-typed, most of them were about the historical events and customs of Jiangjing in the early Republic of China, the revolving warlord regime, celebrities, people with lofty ideals, and oirans in the court of romance.Probably seeing Na Lan's eyebrows slightly frowned, Qin Huai explained: "This is the background research of another novel of mine, which took place in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. I have been working on the draft for the past few months." "But, you still owe Hai Mantian the Curse of Misty Rain!" Nalan was puzzled. Qin Huai said: "At that time, I didn't know how to develop "A Curse of Misty Rain", and no one could help me." He finally admitted for the first time that the progress of the new book was not smooth. Ning Yuxin is not working as an assistant for "The Curse of Misty Rain", so what made her interested in Kuang Yihui's disappearance?Is it just because of Deng Xiao's visit?Or, the disappearance of Kuang Yihui is the only obstacle for Ning Yuxin to fall in love with Qin Huai wholeheartedly? Nalan asked: "I remember you said that the events in the second part of the introduction to "The Curse of the Rain and the Rain" all happened in real life. Could it be that the woman in white, who strangled the nurse by the neck, was your sister? " Qin Huai sighed and nodded: "It's rare that you can hold back all night, and you're only asking me now." Nalan said: "It's not all night, it's only in the middle of the night. I can hold back because I already know the answer. Boss Yi Kuai Zui Zhang Du once told me that you used to live in a dilapidated house on the shore of Zhaoyang Lake. and the story in the second mile of the introduction happened in a dilapidated house by the lake, and the girls also said in the chat that the owner was a poor writer, who else would it be?" Qin Huai said: "My sister needs someone to take care of her. At that time, her symptoms of violent schizophrenia were not obvious, so when I had something to go out at night, I would hire someone to take care of her. Since she hurt the nurse that time, I no longer dare to let outsiders get in touch with her easily, and Junjun has helped me a lot in this regard." "So, although the little nurse was strangled by your sister, she didn't die?" "Fortunately, she had a friend with her, otherwise it would be really hard to tell. Another girl pulled my sister away, and the nurse girl only suffered some minor injuries." "That is to say, the female corpse that emerged from Zhaoyang Lake, the first corpse in the case of five corpses, is not the nurse named Shen Rongrong?" Na Lan was slightly surprised. Qin Huai looked more surprised than she: "Of course not. Why? Didn't Bayusheng tell you?" Hearing Bayusheng's name again, Nalan was a little depressed: "Don't mention it, I called him Teacher Sheng for nothing, and he avoided talking about the real information related to the case. I think he is a policeman and a leader. There are probably some unspeakable secrets; I am afraid that I will be involved in some danger, and I will not be able to explain to the party and the people." Qin Huai smiled: "He is the captain of the Serious Crime Squad, not an ordinary leader. Therefore, to get the most information, it is definitely not possible to get the most information directly through these heads. It seems that entertainment reporters need to check frequently if they want to pick up gossip. Those who flatter are all assistants, photographers, makeup artists, drivers and so on." Na Lan immediately understood: "So, you have a lot of information about the case of the five corpses...otherwise, you wouldn't have written it into the novel. Obviously, the Curse of Misty Rain is about the case of the five corpses!" "Unfortunately, you are no longer my writing assistant, so I have to leave the case of the five corpses to the next beauty assistant. Your important point, student Na Lan, let's review again: Who killed Ning Yuxin? " It could still be you.Nalan thought that Ning Yuxin might accidentally discover some clues related to Kuang Yihui's disappearance when she was beside Qin Huai, so she started to investigate.That's why she warned herself about Qin Huai's danger.What she wanted to tell herself when she was about to die might be her discovery, the unfavorable evidence against Qin Huai.In this way, it was Qin Huai who killed Ning Yuxin.Although he was still showing off his muscles at the beach on the island at that time, he could hire killers to get rid of Ning Yuxin and take away the evidence. However, if it was really evidence, why didn't Ning Yuxin give it to the police, but to me instead? Explain that this "evidence" is not conclusive, and may only be some indirect information. She suddenly felt that her sentence "I believe in your innocence" was so pale, as pale as a lie.But ask yourself, why did you say this in the first place? Why believe his innocence? "Could Ning Yuxin also be investigating the case of the five corpses?" Na Lan was afraid that Qin Huai would figure out what she was thinking, so she hurriedly took up the topic. "She never mentioned it, and I never talked to her about it." "But she has seen the introduction 2 of "The Curse of Misty Rain", right?" Qin Huai thought for a while and said, "Because it has nothing to do with her work, I didn't take the initiative to show it to her, but I don't rule out her peeping." "Don't say it so badly, okay?" For some reason, Na Lan didn't want to listen to any words that blasphemed Ning Yuxin. "Don't think of everyone so simply, okay?" Nalan knew that Ning Yuxin was far from the word "simple", but she didn't want to discuss it with Qin Huai, so she asked, "The night before Ning Yuxin was killed, an old lady named Tan on this island saw a coir raincoat. People fishing on the lake seem to have verified the legend..." "Have you ever heard of 'Novelist'? It's an elegant statement. According to Mandarin, it's 'nonsense'. Anyone who believes in our stories is believing in strange powers and evil cults. Fishing people for their lives is an old superstition around the lake, and it is obvious that Aunt Tan is a victim of psychological suggestion." "You said just now that the description in the introduction 2 li is true. Could it be that the two girls saw five people fishing in a small boat, is it also false?" Na Lan caught Qin Huai's loophole. Qin Huai said: "You're amazing, that's true. The nurse and her friend really saw a boat with five coir raincoats on it." "Can you tell me their names?" "Isn't it in the novel?" Qin Huai smiled maliciously. "Don't think my mind is so simple, okay? How could you use someone else's real name in the novel? What's more, in such a horrible scene."
