False evidence

Chapter 126 My Surname is Liu

After walking around the house twice, we recognized the owner of the house by the photos displayed on the walls.

The man in the mourning hall was named Kou Yun, nicknamed Kouzi. He was a grave robber during his lifetime.

The photo the old cat brought was of a woman who looked no more than thirty years old. Because it was an ID photo, she was only wearing a pair of metal-framed glasses without lenses.

She was very young and extremely beautiful.

Judging from the wedding photos upstairs, it can be confirmed that she is Kou Yun's wife and the lady of the house.

An old cat.

It actually told people that it wanted to kill its owner!

Moreover, they even used a platinum ring worth at least five thousand yuan as a deposit.

There's another reason why Pidan, Monkey, and I understood Old Cat's meaning so quickly.

That is, in the wedding photos, the ring is on Kou Yun's hand.

The old cat gave us the male owner's wedding ring!
"What do you want to do? Will you agree or not?"

The monkey looked at me, involuntarily panting heavily.

Pidan immediately said, "Of course not! This is no small matter; it's asking us to kill someone!"

I thought for a moment, then squatted down, picked up the photo in front of the old cat, waved it in front of my eyes along with the ring, and put them both into my pocket.

"You are crazy!"

Both the preserved egg and the monkey exclaimed in surprise.

I waved my hand, signaling the two of them to calm down.

I stared at the peephole for a while, then said in a low voice:

"You've lived this long, you should know that people shouldn't do things lightly. I'll keep the photos and the ring for you for now. But I'll decide what to do next. You, cooperate with me."

The old cat stopped meowing and slowly climbed up my clothes to my shoulder, then closed its eyes and pretended to sleep.

After leaving Kou Yun's house and returning to Monkey's clinic, I dialed Gao He's number.

"What's up?" Gao He sounded tired on the other end of the phone.

"I want to see Tong Xiangnan again."

“No way,” Gao He immediately refused. “He is currently serving time in prison, and even his immediate family members cannot easily meet with him.”

"I know, but what if you have other cases you'd like to consult him about?"

"What case?"

“I’m an outsider and don’t want to cause trouble, so I’m only talking to Tong Xiangnan.”

"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to blackmail me?" Gao He asked, clearly angry.

I sighed: "I have no right to blackmail anyone. I met with Tong Xiangnan because he's the only one who can help me right now. The case I mentioned is just my personal suspicion at the moment. I haven't analyzed and confirmed it with anyone I trust, so there's no point in saying it."

Whether something is meaningful or not is not for you to judge!

Gao raised his voice and said sternly, "If you have information, you should provide clues to the police immediately! If your actions cause property damage or even loss of life, you may not be held legally responsible, but the pangs of conscience will be more painful than any actual punishment."

"Bai Jing once gave me a chain in front of you, and now, the chain is broken."

"and then?"

"There was no 'then'. I just felt that at this moment, I should do something for myself."

After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, Gao He's voice came through again, his tone much gentler:

"Do you trust your judgment? Is that case you mentioned currently ongoing?"

I said, "Yes, but I can guarantee that the outcome won't be worse in the short term."

"Alright then. I'm currently on a business trip out of town. I'll arrange your meeting with Tong Xiangnan when I get back in two days. Now, I'll have Lin Dan and the others go over there. Explain the case you mentioned to them."

"Don't let her come." I looked towards the door. "You should know that neither my suspicions nor the evidence I've provided are valid for ordinary people."

"Where are you now? Who are you with?" Gao asked.

"Monkey Brother's clinic, and there's also a 20-year-old cat by his side."

Gao He remained silent for a moment, then said, "I understand. Then we'll just have to wait for me to get back." After hanging up, Monkey asked me, "What exactly happened?"

"It's a bit serious."

"I can see that, otherwise you wouldn't have sent Pidan away before making the call. And you were so confrontational with Gao He."

I sighed and said, "Brother Monkey, if you can take another day, could you take me somewhere? Before that, I need to change my clothes."

……

The van had only driven halfway along the country dirt road when it could vaguely see a person standing at the entrance of a detached house.

The monkey asked me, "Is this the person you're looking for?"

"Yes, don't say anything out of line later."

That's what I told the monkey, but after driving a little further, he kept exclaiming "Holy crap, holy crap..."

You really can't blame him for this.

From a distance, the person at the door is standing.

When they got closer, they realized that the person was actually sitting in a wheelchair. However, even sitting, this person was about the same height as most people of average height when standing.

Although I introduced Chen Zudao's identity and age to Monkey on the way here, I deliberately didn't mention the old man's height and appearance.

The monkey, upon seeing this god-like figure, was naturally awestruck.

As soon as the car stopped, Chen Zudao burst into laughter:
"Brother Sanqi, it really is you! I knew you were hungry, so come inside and eat first!"

I didn't think much of it at first, but after hearing the second half of his sentence, I was taken aback.

Judging from his tone, it was as if he knew I was coming and was specially waiting for me at the door.

The key thing is, he also knew I was hungry...

As we entered the courtyard, we ran into Jiao Tong, who was carrying out a steaming hot casserole.

They nodded to each other.

Once inside, I noticed someone standing to the side, facing the wall and looking up at a traditional Chinese ink painting.

Chen Zudao laughed and said, "I knew you weren't up to anything when you came here. You've already taken a fancy to this painting in the blink of an eye?"

The man chuckled, turned around, nodded to me and the monkey first, and then said to Chen Zudao:
“Every single item here is quite valuable. I’m just an ordinary person and can’t afford it, but it’s not too much to take a look, is it?”

"See? See? Just don't get so obsessed with it!"

Chen Zudao seemed to be in a great mood and turned around to say, "Brothers, let me introduce you..."

I didn't hear a word he said after that.

Because I was stunned when I saw this person's appearance.

"Sanqi! Pfft pfft!" The monkey tugged at me. "They're talking to you."

I snapped out of my daze, but I was still staring at the other person in a daze.

The man seemed a little uncomfortable under my gaze and tentatively asked, "Have we met before?"

I nodded subconsciously, then quickly shook my head, and tried again to ask, "Your surname is Liu?"

The other party paused for a moment, then turned his gaze to Chen Zudao.

The monkey tugged at me again and whispered, "What are you thinking about? Didn't Grandpa Chen just introduce everything?"

Chen Zudao was also a little puzzled, but he said to the man:

"Sanqi is my brother. If you have any past grievances with him, can you please forgive me for the sake of my old face?"

After hearing what he said, I finally understood.

He had already introduced the man's identity, but I honestly didn't listen. Regardless of his surname, even if it really was Liu, asking him this question seemed a bit like picking a fight. No wonder Chen Zudao misunderstood.

I quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, I was a little distracted just now and didn't hear you... I just felt that this man looked familiar, so I asked him that."

The man laughed heartily and then clasped his hands in a fist salute to me again:

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let me introduce myself again. My surname is indeed Liu, Liu Hong!"
