False evidence

Chapter 109 Pier
I laughed too.

He stroked her cheek and chuckled, "When Pidan was alive, she asked me to help you. Now, wouldn't you call that turning your back on her? I used to feel sorry for you, but now it seems the old saying is true—there's always a reason why someone is pitiful. Pidan was my first and most beloved woman. She's dead. But when you were alive, living in that kind of place, your body was filthy. Even in death, you're still filthy, even more filthy. Do you want to borrow Pidan's body to live again?"

I slowly leaned close to her ear and said, word by word, "You are not worthy!"

Before she finished speaking, I had already gripped her neck tightly.

"What do you want to do... cough cough..."

The woman finally showed a look of horror.

"I will not allow you to defile my woman, not even if it kills me."

The monkey finally figured out my intention:
"Don't do anything reckless! If you kill her... the police will only find you guilty of murder!"

"It doesn't matter." I turned to the monkey and tightened my grip on his finger. "Brother Monkey, take care of my grandpa for me, and I'll repay you in my next life."

The monkey was about to say something when its expression suddenly changed.

At the same time, I heard Meng Zhen exclaim in surprise.

The next second, I felt as if the back of my head had been branded with a hot iron.

The monkey pounced.

I turned my head away too.

Yan Fengwei ambushed me.

His face was covered in blood, and he looked like a demon from hell.

However, what truly shocked me was the thing he used to attack me.

That was actually one of the candlesticks that emitted a pale green light when I first visited his house and saw the eerie scene on the 16th through divination!
At this moment, Yan Fengwei seemed to have entered a 'sleepwalking' state again, with a fierce look on his face, but his eyes were fixed straight ahead, without even blinking.

With a single, decisive blow, he raised the candlestick again and slammed it down on me.

The monkey tried to snatch the candlestick, but Yan Fengwei's movements were not as simple and stiff as before.

Before the monkey could even get close, he kicked it away.

Seeing that the monkeys didn't know how to fight, I finally decided to take drastic measures.

Before the candlestick could fall, he raised his hand and punched Yan Fengwei's bulging Adam's apple.

The candlestick eventually landed on my head, but it had lost its force.

Yan Fengwei's eyes bulged as he looked at me, his eyes filled with confusion and disbelief.

Time seemed to stand still.

It wasn't until Qi Zhen let out a scream that Yan Fengwei collapsed to the ground amidst the scream.

It was only at this moment that I realized

—I killed someone.

Another scream rang out.

Looking up, I saw Meng Zhen, as if all the bones in her body had been removed, slumped to the ground.

I had already decided to kill him, and seeing Yan Fengwei dead, I no longer had any scruples.

I originally intended to disregard everything and break Pidan's neck, making it impossible for her body to survive.

However, when I saw the despair on Meng Zhen's face, darkness enveloped me once again...

This sudden darkness seems to have lasted for a long time.

Before I could regain my sight, I heard the sound of rushing water.

Then, someone asked, "Huh? How did I get here?"

Hearing that familiar voice, I suddenly felt a jolt.

Turning my head, I immediately saw a beautiful figure.

"preserved egg!"

Pidan looked at me with an indescribable, complex expression.

I was certain she was Pidan herself, so I pulled her into my arms.

Before he could even speak, he suddenly noticed that there was a woman standing behind Pidan.

The woman was dressed in plain clothes that were not modern, with her hair styled in a traditional Chinese updo, and she looked at me with a bewildered expression.

"It's you!" I quickly pulled Pidan behind me.

I am no longer a stranger to the woman in front of me.

She is Qi Zhen.

The clothes she was wearing at that moment were exactly the same as the clothes she wore when she hanged herself.

I couldn't see my own expression, but I could imagine it was similar to Qi Zhen's.

I realized that the shift in time and space was due to the whispered conversation, but I couldn't imagine why Qi Zhen would separate from the preserved egg's body, and the preserved egg...

Isn't the preserved egg already dead?
"I saw it all."

"Century Egg suddenly said behind me."

"what?"

I glanced at her sideways.

"After I died, I was still in the attic." Pidan hugged me tightly from behind, murmuring, "I saw everything you did, I saw everything..."

"And then?" I couldn't bring myself to ask a more substantial question.

"And then we ended up here, didn't we?"

Pidan raised his face, his usual curious expression returning: "Have we entered the fifth dimension again?"

All I could do was nod.

"Where is this? The dock?"

I looked around and nodded.

We really felt like we were on a small dock, and a dock by the sea.

However, judging from the facilities, this place does not resemble a modern ship dock at all.

"Why are we here?"

This time, it was Qi Zhen who was questioned.

"I've said it before, I know physiognomy."

I already loathed this woman, but when I saw Pidan again, I found it hard to direct my hatred at her.

Pidan moved closer to me, glanced at Qi Zhen, and looked up at me, asking:
"You said physiognomy is about people, and we're here because of her?"

Qi Zhen shook her head and said, "I know Fengcheng is not far from the sea, but I never came to the seaside before I died."

Pidan asked curiously, "You've never been to the beach? Then why are we here?"

"Then it's not because of her."

I pointed in one direction.

It was a semi-open building, like a teahouse. At that moment, there were no ships docked at the pier, and that building was the only place where people gathered.

By now I had a general idea, and I said to Pidan, "There should be someone we know in that shop."

"who is it?"

Pidan asked, then suddenly looked in another direction, his eyes widening: "I think I saw that familiar person."

Following her gaze, Qi Zhen let out a soft gasp first.

Two people arrived, both dressed in long gowns and each carrying an old-fashioned leather suitcase.

The one wearing a gray long gown was unremarkable in appearance, but tall and sturdy in build.

Pidan said he saw a "familiar face" because the person looked exactly like Yan Fengwei, except he looked at least ten years younger and had hair.

Pidan looked at the stunned Qi Zhen and said to me, "We've traveled through time, and we've seen the long-haired bald guy again."

"It's Lin Qin'en."

Seeing that the two didn't come over but went straight to the teahouse, a strange thought struck me. I grabbed Pidan and followed them, not forgetting to say to Qi Zhen:
“I can let you know what happened after Lin Qin’en left Fengcheng, but on the condition that you don’t do anything to the people and things here.”

"it is good!"

Qi Zhen spoke decisively, but then asked, "You said he died on the train back then, so why are we at the dock?"

"You'll know the answer soon enough," I said confidently.
