They stroll go a European design display screen with white floral cravings.  A good looking crystal chandelier hangs from the ceiling in the midst of the lounge.  The massive lounge is furnished with costly however tasteful furnishings.   A chic girl sits at a small spherical desk in the midst of the lounge. 

Yin Ziqi is carrying a pink strapless costume. Stunning, horny, but appears unapproachable and never very simple to get together with.  However when she sees Bo Jinyan, she embraces her femininity.  She glances at him obliquely: “Lastly, you might be keen have a meal with me.”

Bo Jinyan pulls out a chair and sits down.  He tells Jian Yao: “Sit down.”

Yin Ziqi stands up, shakes fingers with Jian Yao and smiles: “Good to fulfill you.”

Jian Yao responds with a smile: “Whats up, chairman Yin, I’m Jian Yao.”

– Insisted that she works with him earlier than he would settle for?

Jian Yao is secretly happy. 

Yin Ziqi stated: “However I believed he would seek the advice of you first.  I had no concept that he didn’t converse to you beforehand…”

Bo Jinyan interrupts her: “We now have come to an settlement.  Now let’s get again to enterprise.”

Yin Ziqi laughs.  She says to Jian Yao: “ Let me formally introduce myself. I’m Ziqi, Jinyan’s sister.” 

Jian Yao has a suspicion that they’re associated, however she by no means thought they’re brothers and sisters, as a result of Bo Jinyan by no means talked about he has a sibling.  As if conscious of her doubts, Yin Ziqi smiles: “Really, I’m his step sister.  Jinyan’s father married my mom.  Not lots of people find out about this.  We grew up in America collectively.”

Earlier than dinner is served, Yin Ziqi talks in regards to the case.

“The police have confirmed that Wang Wan Wei’s demise is a suicide.  Nevertheless, I nonetheless wish to make clear a number of issues:

I have no idea if this strain is figure associated.  In that case, I must know extra about it and whether or not the administration type in Buyer 3 division was a part of the trigger. I want to know the precise causes for her suicide.

2.  Her explanation for demise is drug overdose.  I don’t wish to make this reality public as a result of I’ve heard numerous rumours about workers in our firm taking medicine.  I wish to know if anybody else within the division takes medicine as properly.  I’m afraid there’s a secret drug community inside the firm.  

Jian Yao didn’t anticipate to listen to this.  Her impression of the corporate is a clear one. Bo Jinyan simply summarises the requests: “Examine explanation for suicide and discover out if firm has a drug community. Seems like freshman criminology introductory workouts. “

Yin Ziqi says: “Come on, Jinyan.  You may have shares on this firm too.  Uncle Bo and mother took years to construct this firm.  Do it for his or her sake.”

Bo Jinyan seems to be at Jian Yao: “By no means thoughts, we’ve Jian Yao.  Good observe for her since she remains to be within the  elementary ranges of criminology.”

Jian Yao ignores his scoffing feedback: “ Chairman Yin, we are going to do our greatest.”

Yin Ziqi nods: “let’s take a break from work.  I hope you’ll benefit from the meals tonight…” 

She alerts the waiter to serve the programs.

Appetiser is salad.  She ordered steak as primary course for herself and Jian Yao, and fried cod for Bo Jinyan.  Like an elder sister, she reminds her brother: “Don’t simply eat the fish, eat some greens too.”

Bo Jinyan: “I’m not a child anymore.” However then, he picks up some salad from the bowl.

The parts are fairly massive.  Jian Yao can not end her salad.  Bo Jinyan takes a glance begins consuming her remaining salad.  Yin Ziqi give Jian Yao a wierd look.  Jian Yao glances at her meals.  There’s additionally leftover salad on Yin Ziqi’s bowl however Bo Jinyan is simply consuming from her bowl.

Each of the women thought he’s going to speak about his views towards the case or methods he shall be using, however as an alternative, he asks his sister to maintain Jian Yao’s involvement with the case a secret, in order that she will be able to return to her little assistant position within the automotive components division after the investigations are completed.

They’re driving house.  She is happy that he talked to his sisters about her considerations.  

Jian Yao: “You take to each other along with your sister.”

Bo Jinyan: “Actually?  I don’t really feel that manner.”

Jian Yao seems to be at him.  If it’s not as a result of he loves her sister, would he tackle such an entry-level case?  

As if he can learn her thoughts, he says: “If it was you who dedicated suicide, I’ll tackle the investigation too.” 

Jian Yao: “……Gee…ought to I say thanks?”

– Come on… nobody makes use of this type of analogy to precise how necessary the particular person is to them.

She clears her throat and tells Bo Jinyan: “I’ve learn all the knowledge.” 

Bo Jinyan then again, doesn’t appear to be affected within the slightest.

“My assistant can’t be so sentimental.  Can you turn again to regular mode now?”

Jian Yao replies: “Ladies are sentimental.  Why don’t you go discover a man?  This man must be good at fishing, will clear your home, maintain Chen Mo, and never thoughts how choosy you might be.” 

Bo Jinyan retains silent this time.

Jian Yao calms down. She asks: Bo Jinyan “Is it due to this notice that the police concluded that it’s a suicide?” 

Bo Jinyan: “ Primarily based on a notice alone just isn’t sufficient proof to conclude it’s a suicide, as a result of to pretend a notice just isn’t tough.  They only must put themselves within the footwear of the sufferer, thinks about what bothers them in life and write the notice primarily based on these fears and frustrations.”

Bo Jinyan sighs: “I hate to reply easy query like these.  It’s boring.”

Jian Yao:  “Simply say it!”

Bo Jinyan closes his eyes and begins to share his evaluation on the case:

“That is certainly a suicide notice that Wang wrote.  

Firstly, there’s the absence of duress in her notice.  She was not pressured when she was writing.   As a result of the writing was fluent.  You’ll be able to inform it from the strokes of her handwriting. 

Along with this, she used numerous summary suicide metaphor, defeated, shell, bottomless pit; there are lots of repeat statements akin to ‘Mother, don’t be unhappy’; some phrases doesn’t make a lot sense, for instance, ‘my life turned darkish, soiled’ ..Individuals faking notes are usually extra clear, cohesive, concise, straight to the purpose, as to keep away from loopholes.   It is a actual testomony.”

Jian Yao reads the suicide notice once more: “Your evaluation may be very thorough.”

Bo Jinyan’s eyes flashed a smile.

As soon as, Jian Yao asks Fu Ziyu: “Not a single girlfriend in 26 years?”

Although his character is a bit smug, a bit overbearing, a bit tough to get alongside …… however the general bundle remains to be very engaging.  It’s exhausting to imagine there’s no girl attracted by him. 

Fu Ziyu solutions: “Miss, have you ever thought of his age?”

“Age?”

“Ah,  He went to school when he was 14, graduated when he was 17, gained his PhD when he was 21,  This implies he’s at all times round ladies that’s so much older than him.”

Jian Yao: Oh……

Fu Ziyu : ”He received’t go for girl that’s older than him.”

Jian Yao: “Why?”

His remark is strictly an intuitive one. He has by no means considered why.

Fu Ziyu laughs :”Spot on. You’ve nailed it.” 

They’re nonetheless laughing when Bo Jinyan enters the room.  

Bo Jinyan:  “What are you guys speaking about?”
