Venerable Director Zvi stepped into the scene of the crime for the first time, and resisted the urge to cover his mouth, showing Hoden his friendliness with a smile.It's just that the fat on his cheeks that drooped down was breaking and dancing, but it revealed the surging in his heart at this time, he should have used all his strength to suppress his disgust and disdain, so he cautiously took a step towards the room - yes, only one step, and then stood at the door with his hands folded like a little daughter-in-law.Director Zvi's gaze fell on Holden, and he was about to say something, but found that Holden's gaze was so flutteringly shifted to look at Julian, and his gentle tone did not leave room for maneuver, "I need to talk to my neighbors, and to talk to the first person who reported the crime who found the body." ”Director Zvi's face was pale, and no one had ever dared to show his face like this.But Julian suppressed Director Zvi's anger with his eyes again and again, and said with a smile, "No problem, of course no problem, we will arrange it now." ”After saying that, Holden had already passed by Director Zvi first and left the room, as if Director Zvi was a particularly large wallflower.Issa hesitated slightly, but left with Holden - she nodded politely to Director Zvi.Finally, Julian, who whispered a few words of comfort to Director Zvi, saying that the matter would be arranged by him, and then quickly followed Hodden.As a result, only Director Zvi and the corpse were left in the room, and Director Zvi trembled slightly because of his extreme anger.In fact, Horden didn't go far, because he needed to ask his neighbors, so he just came to the staircase, and then stopped and waited.Issa then walked over and asked with a look in her eyes, "Are you sure that's good?"
”Although she watched Director Zvi deflated, her heart was also extremely happy, and she couldn't wait to be able to directly slap that guy; But Holden did it, and she couldn't help but worry about Holden's situation - Director Zvi's guy was a must-see, and he had a good background and an intertwined background.Holden was full of calmness, shrugged his shoulders slightly, and did not speak: There is actually skill in dealing with people like Director Zvi.First of all, you must be tough, so that the other party thinks that you are fearless, and even need to show arrogance, because this is a sentiment from the heart of the nobles; secondly, you can't be too tough, otherwise you will force the other party to jump over the wall, which is also dangerous; Again, if you are too weak, the other person may hit the snake and ask for more.That's the point.Holden's behavior and attitude are within the controllable range, showing his toughness but not exceeding the bottom line, just by virtue of the name of "His Royal Highness the Third Prince", Director Zvi does not dare to act rashly, he should also hope to use the light of His Royal Highness the Third Prince to return to the fourth jurisdiction.As for whether Director Zvi will find out the true details of Holden and His Royal Highness the Third Prince, it is not something to worry about today.Issa looked at Hordon as steady as Mount Tai, and her emotions also settled, with a smile in her eyes, and her mood involuntarily lightened.As Hodden expected, Director Zvi did not lash out, but chose to swallow his anger; Julian, on the other hand, was even more nimble, finding his next-door neighbor in a short time.Nightingale's last person to meet and the first person to find Nightingale's body were actually the same, his next-door neighbor, who lived in the room to Nightingale's right.It was a middle-aged man about thirty-five years old, with a scum-like beard, a crumpled linen shirt covered with sweat and stains, and a dark forehead wrinkles that recorded the traces of the sun setting.You don't need to ask, you know that this should be a dock worker, diligently creating life with his own hands, even the sad eyes have a trace of calm and restraint, he doesn't dare to raise his eyes easily to look at others, it seems that he has long been accustomed to walking with his eyes down.Holden inquired about the last encounter with Nightingale, but the middle-aged man did not speak for a long time, so that Director Zvi began to be anxious again, and scolded twice, but was suppressed by a look from Holden, closed his mouth in aggrievedness, and turned his head sullenly."
Corbyn.We need your help, and so do the dead. ”Issa remained patient and whispered."
Nick.His name is Nick. ”The middle-aged man finally spoke, and said in a muffled voice, "Nick Nightingale, just graduated from Seceppace Academy last year. ”Although the words are somewhat fragmentary, the tone is very insistent: he does not want Nightingale to be just a "dead" or a "victim", and even after death, Nightingale is a real person.The middle-aged man's insistence inadvertently confirmed Holden's conjecture - this is indeed Nightingale."
Nick......
Not a good child, he has also done a lot of petty theft and bad things, because there are three younger siblings and a sick mother at home who need him to take care of, and in order to make money, he is a little unscrupulous.But he's never done anything to hurt anyone, I promise. ”For the first time, the middle-aged man raised his head and looked at Issa, his eyes shining with sincerity.However, Director Zvi was not satisfied with such an answer, "Thief. ”In just one sentence, the position and attitude could not be more clear.The middle-aged man raised his head a little excitedly, "He really hasn't hurt anyone, and he hasn't really stolen any big money, he's just greedy for a little money."
You guys......
He......
He is not a thief.He's not!
”The excited tone revealed a deep sense of unease.Obviously, if the vigilantes had determined that Nightingale was a thief, they would probably not have launched an investigation and would have let Nightingale die innocently.This is what the middle-aged man is worried about.Holden was able to understand the other party's concern, and gently bowed his head and expressed comfort with his eyes, "The reason why we stay here is to find out the truth. ”The gentle tone calmed the middle-aged man a little, and Holden gave another encouraging look, "How did you and him meet?"
”The middle-aged man was still a little uneasy, but he noticed that no one else refuted Holden's words, so he continued to speak."
I met his mother a few times, and that woman always asked me to take care of him, but she couldn't reciprocate, she once thought about using her body to ......"
The words paused at this point, "but I refused."
After that, when she came back, she would bring some food to show her appreciation. ”"Over time, Nick and I became friends."
Hodden listened attentively, and although these stories were not directly related to the case, it was actually very important to be able to sketch out Nightingale's character traits in a simple way.Sometimes, the clues are hidden here; Of course, more often than not.()
