Chapter 26 chapter eight

The waiter brought two cups of hot coffee and put them on the table politely.He said "please slow down" and left. Nie Ming looked at Song Jingci and shook his head in confusion: "I don't understand, what is your purpose in bringing me here?" "In the field of psychology I study, one is about criminal psychology." Song Jingci said, "This matter—please forgive me, before today's meeting, I, like the police, regarded you as the prime suspect— According to my analysis, if you are really a murderer, you will definitely try to avoid coming to this place, so as not to arouse suspicion. You will never come here just to eat a steak—but now, you really have nothing to do Came here on guard. So I thought, maybe I really misunderstood you."

Nie Ming frowned and thought for a while, then said: "I think that many people should know that such a big thing happened here. Under such circumstances, normal people should avoid coming to this place." "It seems that you really don't know. My father didn't fall at the door of this western restaurant or on the street. It was at the back door of the kitchen of this restaurant—it was a corner where no one would pass by. The place where the restaurant is used to store sundries. My father crashed there, and not many people saw it. Only two chefs found out and called the police. The police quickly blocked the news, so not many people knew about it this matter."

Nie Ming stared at Song Jingci: "So, if I happen to not want to eat steak today, then you will regard me as a murderer?" "Of course not." Song Jingci said, "I still have many ways to test you, but now, I don't think I need any of them." Nie Ming looked out the window and sighed softly. "What's the matter, Mr. Nie. You seem very unhappy?" Nie Ming turned his head around: "Miss Song, what do you think I should do now? Are you relieved because you didn't regard me as a murderer? Have you ever thought that I am also a victim in this incident!"

Song Jingci opened her mouth, but did not speak. "Now, your test is over, thank you for not treating me as a murderer. Can I go home?" Nie Ming stood up. "Wait, Nie Ming, I..." "Maybe you have another test? Miss Song Jingci." "No, I... I hope you can help me." "Help you? Don't you think it's a better request to the police?" "You are the only one who can help me, Nie Ming." Song Jingci said with a serious face, "Please sit down and listen to me, okay?" Nie Ming looked into Song Jingci's eyes, and he saw expectation and pleading in those clear eyes.He could only sit down again.

"I only have my father, Mr. Nie. My mother died of dystocia when giving birth to me. As long as I can remember, only my father has cared and loved me. He is my dearest person. But now, he died in such a tragic way... "Song Jingci's eyes dimmed, her voice choked up, "I think you can understand my mood, right?" "I totally understand, and I'm very sorry. But, I really don't understand, how can I help you?" "Nie Ming, I now fully believe that you will not be the murderer of my father, so I think you may be able to provide me with some useful information, so that I can use this as a clue to investigate the murderer of my father .”

Nie Ming thought for a while and said, "It sounds like you are sure that your father died of murder, not suicide? As far as I know, even the police haven't been able to make a conclusion on this case." "This is the problem. Based on my judgment and the conversation between the police and me, I feel that they will treat this case as a suicide case. However, this is absolutely impossible!" Song Jingci's tone became agitated, "My father will never He will not commit suicide! On the afternoon of the day he died, he still talked with me on the phone, and there was no sign of committing suicide at all! Our conversation was as natural and relaxed as usual!"

"So, you think you can only investigate this case and uncover the truth by yourself?" "It was the last thing I could do for my father." Looking at Song Jingci's firm eyes, Nie Ming felt admiration from the bottom of his heart. "Okay, Ms. Song, I promise you. I will fully support and assist you in investigating this case. This is also related to my innocence. I must clarify this misunderstanding to everyone." Nie Ming said. "Thank you, Nie Ming. I really appreciate you." "Okay, now the question is, how do we go about investigating?"

"I think we should seize the clues we have now." "What do you think is the only clue?" "You're always used to letting other people say the key points, right?" Song Jingci smiled, "Actually, you know better than me, don't you?" Nie Ming had to admit that Song Jingci's psychoanalysis ability had reached its peak.He had to face her more honestly: "you mean that black book, the one lost at your father's house, right?" "What could be more important than something like this? My father was killed within four hours after he got this black book from Yu's house; nothing was lost in the house except this book; my father wrote in The paragraph on the notepad is also all about this black book. Nie Ming, what do you think these provide us?"

He thought for a while and said, "At least let us know the direction of action." "Completely correct." "If we can find this black book, then all the mysteries will be solved." Song Jingci stared into Nie Ming's eyes and said, "I feel from the conversation with you just now - you think it is not very easy to find that black book." Difficult thing, right?" Nie Ming shook his head: "I don't think that black book will be easy to find, I just think we have some clues - that is the paragraph your father left on the notepad. If we can figure out those few paragraphs What do you mean, maybe you can reveal the secret of the black book."

"That notepad is my father's relic, and it's with me now, in my house. But I don't understand what that means. What about you?" "I don't understand either." Song Jingci thought for a while, and said: "On the afternoon my father died, he was at home with you. He finished reading this black book, and then asked you to have a talk in the yard, right? He told you what?" "He seemed very nervous, flustered, and even a little scared-I don't know why he was like this. He said that what was written in this small notebook was not an ordinary financial problem at all... He also said that he had to verify the information in the notebook. After that, he left Yu's house without saying goodbye."

"So, he didn't say anything about the contents of the notebook?" "Not at all." Song Jingci thought for a while: "That's all my father said?" Nie Ming rubbed the coffee cup back and forth with his hands. After a while, he whispered, "There is one more thing, but...even the police don't know about it." "What is it?" Nie Ming frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I can tell you, but..." He paused, appearing hesitant to speak. "Nie Ming, tell me, you don't need to hide anything from me." "That's all right. Actually, although the old lawyer didn't tell me about the content of the book that afternoon, he told me another secret of the book." Song Jingci did not speak, waiting for Nie Ming to continue. "This black book is just a cover. There are 30 pages in the middle of it. And these 30 pages are the key!" Song Jingci slowly leaned on the back of the sofa, lost in thought. After a few minutes, Nie Ming asked, "What did you think of?" Song Jingci looked at Nie Ming and said, "I think you are in trouble now. You are in danger." Nie Ming was taken aback and asked, "Why?" "Do you remember those few paragraphs my father wrote in his notepad? He seemed to have a premonition that he would be killed. At the same time, he said 'if I die, let this secret be kept forever'. Do you think? Nie Ming, what does this mean?" "It means he might have hidden the 30 pages somewhere - I've thought about that before. But what danger are you talking about?" "Let's look at it this way: the murderer's purpose is to get this little book. However, when he gets it, he finds that there is nothing in it that he wants. What will he do?" Nie Ming became nervous: "Maybe, he will go to the old lawyer's house again..." He paused for a while, "But why did you say I would be in danger?" "It is indeed one of the possibilities for him to go to my father's house. But another possibility is that he will think that you are the only one who knows the truth now, and come to you directly!" "However, the old lawyer didn't tell me the contents of the notebook!" Song Jingci shook her head and said, "You said it yourself, why does he think you are telling the truth?" Nie Ming felt cold sweat start to seep from his back, he had to admit that he had ignored this problem.The situation analyzed by Song Jingci is entirely possible! "And I am also in danger now." Song Jingci continued, "He may also think that my father put those 30 pages with me." "If that's the case, it really sucks." "Wait, if he really thinks that way..." Song Jingci suddenly panicked, she stood up abruptly, "If he really did that..." "Why, what do you think..." "I must go home at once! My brother is at home!"
