False evidence

Chapter 140 Guests are arriving

After hanging up the phone, I told Meng Chao to ask him to take a day off tomorrow and come with me to meet someone.

Meng Chao has always been generous, only asking if one day is enough, and if not, he doesn't mind staying a few more days.

After much hesitation, Li Ping told me that he had contacted the accountant and told him that he had changed his mind and would not sell the house for the time being. Upon hearing this, the accountant immediately raised the price by one-third.

Gao He couldn't help but ask me gossipy, "Who on earth is so eager to give you a house?"

"An old man who is over a hundred years old."

Gao He raised an eyebrow: "Very extravagant? No descendants?"

I said, "That's not the point. The point is that when he was young, he not only stole, but also killed at least dozens of innocent people."

The murder case happened nearly a century ago, and Gao He was no longer able to investigate it.

He thought for a moment and then said to me very solemnly, "I personally agree that you are right not to accept this gift, but it doesn't seem very fair to the homeowner."

Li Ping sighed and turned his face away.

I understand what Gao and he mean. Throughout history, money has always been a good thing. Without money, you can't do anything.

As the homeowner's representative, Li Ping naturally wanted to sell the house at a high price for the benefit of his relatives.

Not wanting to put him in a difficult position, I said, "Brother Ping, agree to the offer and sell it!"

Li Ping was taken aback: "But the other party made it very clear that the house must be transferred to your name."

I said, "No problem."

Li Ping hesitated for a moment: "If I sell the house for a good price, I'll be helping my aunt, but I don't want to put you in a difficult position."

Gao He chuckled: "What's so difficult about that? He can't always live under someone else's roof, can he? Just take the house first, and pay the other party back when he's earned enough money."

We exchanged a smile, and I joked with him, "Brother Gao, are you a tapeworm?"

Li Ping then realized what I was planning.

The monkey asked, "How's the old cat's matter going?"

Gao He immediately began to speak spittle flying, recounting the whole incident.

His unusual excitement stemmed from the fact that this case was truly extraordinary: a cat avenged its owner and ultimately brought the murderer to justice. Even the seasoned and composed captain couldn't help but boast about it.

Both the monkey and Liping were amazed when they heard this.

Meng Chao looked completely bewildered. After a long pause, he asked, "Was the alcohol we drank yesterday fake? I'm so confused; I don't even know what I did this morning."

Pidan glanced at him disdainfully and said, "Then drink less in the future, otherwise I'll get annoyed just looking at you."

The truth is, I had another dream last night. I dreamt about how to open a safe and what was inside, and I also dreamt that my roommate of three years was controlled by some evil consciousness and turned into a ferocious demon.

As a woman, Pidan has a keen insight into the opposite sex. Upon seeing Meng Chao at the hospital, she privately told me that she disliked him and forcefully advised me to avoid associating with him in the future.

However, after Meng Chao briefly fell into a coma in Kou Yun's old house, when he woke up again, Pi Dan's opinion of him immediately changed...

The next morning, as Pidan was handing Mengchao and me some pork, chive, and vermicelli buns that her mother had just steamed, over the courtyard wall, someone rang the doorbell.

As soon as the doorbell rang, Pidan jumped over the wall.

"Tsk! Why are you using a VPN again?" As your acknowledged boyfriend, I find this rather intolerable.

The main thing is that I've told her several times that if she wants to climb over the wall, she should do it while her mom is asleep at night, and then climb back over before dawn the next day. That would be more... romantic.

Seeing Meng Chao carrying a steamed bun to the front yard to open the gate, Pi Dan grabbed me and said, "Is that the woman who called you yesterday?"

I looked around, walked to the eaves, took off the dog leash from the post, and handed it to her: "Tie me up, you can keep me with you during the day and tie me to your bed leg at night." "Dream on!" Pidan glared at me fiercely.

"I think that we young people should do what young people should do. I'm afraid you'll blame me when I'm no longer able to do what I'm supposed to."

I was getting physical with her when Meng Chao came running up from behind, yelling, "Twenty-one! That woman's here with her husband and kid!"

I was taken aback, threw down the dog leash, and pulled Pidan into the house.

It was Bai Jing who arrived.

She was the one who spoke to me on the phone yesterday.

She was accompanied by two other people.

One was a young man under thirty, and the other was a boy of about twelve or thirteen.

When I first saw these two people, I had a very strange feeling.

The young man was fine, but the child, despite being quite young, had his hands behind his back, making him seem rather old-fashioned.

The child was the first to greet me with a fist and palm salute: "I apologize for my rudeness on my first visit."

I was taken aback again, then realized what was happening and followed suit, cupping my hands in greeting: "Hello, my name is Sanqi."

The boy smiled slightly: "I am Shen San."

I felt increasingly strange and subconsciously looked at Bai Jing. I saw that she was looking at this child who called himself Shen San with a strange look in her eyes. Suddenly, I remembered someone.

During that meeting with Tong Xiangnan at the detention center, Tong Xiangnan said that Bai Jing had brought a boy to see him.

The child looked to be about twelve or thirteen years old, but after being hypnotized, his speech and thought process revealed him to be an old man who lived in Yanbian more than a hundred years ago!
Could this Shen San be that child?

The young man who came with me was about my height and looked very refined, but from the moment he entered, he kept squinting and staring at me intently. Compared to the children around him, he seemed to lack manners.

Bai Jingming clearly saw his appearance, but instead of introducing him to us, she gestured for me to be quiet.

Shen San walked straight up to Meng Chao and said with a smile, "Big brother, chat with me for a while."

Immediately afterwards, he whispered something to Meng Chao.

I didn't hear what he said, but I saw Meng Chao pause for a moment, then take his hand and lead him to the backyard.

After the two left, the atmosphere inside became even more awkward.

The young man looked at me for a full two minutes, then suddenly sighed and shook his head, saying to Bai Jing:
"Sister Bai, I'm afraid I've come all this way for nothing. I can't help him."

Bai Jing sighed before introducing us: "This is my friend, Li Chuang."

Li Chuang seemed to have returned to normal, saying "Hello" and extending his right hand to me.

I stared at him for a long time, and he clearly started to feel awkward, but he still extended his right hand.

I was speechless, so I could only extend my left hand and shake his hand in return.

He belatedly realized what was happening, looked at my right hand hanging in front of my chest, blushed, and repeatedly apologized.

In just a short while, Meng Chao and Xiao Shensan also returned to the house.

Meng Chao grinned from ear to ear, patting Xiao Shen San's head and repeatedly saying how adorable the child was.

Compared to him, Shen San appeared more mature and composed. He smiled and said to Bai Jing, "I've talked to him. This kid is very silly and naive."
