False evidence

Chapter 128 Liu Buzhu (Part 2)
"Lin Qin'en? Little Pearl? Who are those?" Liu Hong asked suspiciously.

I said, "I don't know why you're so sensitive. This matter can't be explained in a few words. You can call the old man now. As soon as he hears these two names, he'll know that I'm not your enemy."

"it is good."

Liu Hong's gaze still held hostility as he took out his phone and dialed a number.

He asked me directly on the phone, right in front of me:

"Sir, have you ever heard of Lin Qin'en and Little Pearl?"

I couldn't hear what the other person said.

Liu Hong hung up the phone and said to me, "My grandpa said he'll be here right away."

"He's actually alive!"

I instinctively looked at Chen Zudao.

The Lin Qin'en I know was around thirty years old back then, while Liu Yi'er was a bit older than him.

Lin Qin'en was killed by Lü Xin, and both Lü Xin and Chen Zudao were in their twenties at the time.

Chen Zudao is already over 100 years old, so how old must Liu Yier be?

Liu Hong asked, "Could you tell me who these two people you're talking about are?"

I said, "Lin Qin'en and Grandpa Liu are friends. Little Pearl... If the old man still remembers this nickname, it at least proves that I have no grudge against your family."

Less than half an hour later, the sound of a car came from outside, and then a strangely dressed person walked in.

This person, just like me now, was dressed in a traditional Chinese jacket and trousers, with an oddly matched hat on his head. He was also wearing exaggerated sunglasses and a mask, making it impossible to see his face at all.

The visitor entered the house and, without greeting anyone else, turned directly to me and Monkey, asking, "Which of you is a descendant of Qin'en?"

I quickly bowed to the other person and said, "Hello, sir. I only know that there is such a person as Lin Qin'en."

The man then asked, "And how did you know about Little Pearl?"

I thought for a moment and said directly, "Back then at the dock, the old man punished those two kidnappers by cutting off their flesh, which was truly gratifying."

"what?"

The man asked in surprise, "You actually know about this? Even if you're not a descendant of Qin'en, you must know him, right? But wait, even if your ancestors knew Qin'en, you shouldn't know the nickname 'Little Pearl,' should you?"

I said, "If it were anyone else, I would definitely try to save trouble and make up a lie to get by. But if you really are Liu Yi'er from back then, you'd be over a hundred years old now..."

The other person said, "I am 125 years old this year."

I couldn't help but stick out my tongue and quickly said, "Then I can't lie to you even more. I saw with my own eyes what happened between you and Lin Qin'en at the dock back then, and I heard your conversation. You are loyal to your friends. Since Lin Qin'en had already decided to marry Xiao Zhenzhu at that time, after that, Fengcheng no longer had the nickname Xiao Zhenzhu, and only Qi Zhen remained."

I thought I would have to explain myself a lot, but to my surprise, the other person nodded and said, "You're smart; you know I won't mention the name 'Little Pearl' to anyone else."

"Master..."

As soon as Liu Hongcai opened his mouth, the man waved his hand and said, "Go make some tea."

Then he casually greeted Chen Zudao and sat down in a grand chair.

He said to me and the monkey, "Although I am older, this attire is still impolite. I feel uncomfortable being covered up like this. But let me tell you in advance, my appearance is somewhat unusual, so be prepared and don't be frightened."

"Huh?" Chen Zudao asked curiously, "Brother, ever since we met again, no matter what I said, you never let me see your face. If you hadn't explained what happened back then so clearly, I would have suspected that you were an imposter. Why are you willing to show your face today for the first time?"

The man chuckled and said, "It would have been pointless for me to show you my current appearance before. But today is different. How can I let such a great person slip by?" With that, he took off his hat.

When I saw his scalp peeking out, my heart skipped a beat, and I quickly pulled the monkey back a few steps.

That's because I already had a premonition that this person's appearance was anything but ordinary ugliness.

Even though I was prepared, the moment the other person took off their sunglasses, the monkey let out a loud "roar," and I couldn't help but shiver twice.

By the time he took off his mask, both Monkey and I felt completely exhausted.

I could tell from the other person's face that they were about 50% familiar.

Therefore, it was determined that he was Liu Yi'er from back then.

It's said to be five parts because, with the center of his eyebrows and the tip of his nose as the dividing line, he only has half a face, which is how I've seen Liu Yi'er before.

The other half of his face didn't look like a living person at all. Not only was the dark, wrinkled skin clinging tightly to the bone, but his left eye also lacked an eyelid.

Moreover, on the left side, half of the mouth has no lips, and half of the white teeth are exposed nakedly... This left half of the face looks like a skull!

"Brother, how did you become like this?" Chen Zudao gasped in shock.

Liu Yi chuckled twice but didn't reply. He just looked at me, as if waiting for me to comment on his appearance.

I was also speechless for a while. After calming down a bit, I said, "So there really are living ghosts in the world."

"Snapped!"

Liu Yier slammed his hand on the table: "It's done. I knew I was right. In that case, if you don't mind my ugly appearance, let's be friends for now."

"Sir, the tea is ready."

Liu Hong brought in a teapot, and his gaze towards me changed from wary to extremely surprised.

Liu Yier picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then asked me:
"Sanqi, did Qin'en later marry Qi Zhen?"

I shook my head: "No, he never went back to Fengcheng."

"Oh? That shouldn't be the case. Although Qin En appears rough on the surface, he is a very sentimental person and a man of his word. He didn't return to Fengcheng. Could it be that something happened to him on the way?"

“You’re right.” I glanced at Chen Zudao and said, “Not long after you broke up, he was murdered on the train back to Guangzhou. On the fifteenth of August, Qi Zhen didn’t see him and, thinking he had betrayed her, hanged herself. Also, the girl you rescued from the kidnappers was misunderstood by Lin Qin’en’s family and died by running over his coffin. In this life, the two of them became husband and wife.”

Liu Hong and Chen Zudao were both stunned.

Although Liu Yi'er was also somewhat surprised, he chuckled and said, "What did Qin'en do in this life? I wonder if he still remembers me."

I said, "I didn't remember you before, but I definitely recognize you now."

I'm telling the truth.

Unlike Qi Zhen, Lin Qin'en's consciousness, which was attached to the candlestick, was only a wisp of consciousness remaining from when she was murdered.

After the misunderstanding from back then was cleared up, Qi Zhen finally went to where she was meant to go, while that lingering consciousness attached itself to the reincarnated Yan Fengwei.

It can be said that Yan Fengwei now possesses a considerable portion of his past life's memories and has inherited Lin Qin'en's expertise in appraising antiques.

That's the real reason why he kept chasing me afterward, wanting to give me a large sum of money.
