False evidence

Chapter 146 Catching the Thief
"What's wrong?" Pidan was the first to realize that something was wrong with me.

I shook my head, took out my phone, and quickly dialed a number.

As soon as the call connected, he immediately shouted into the receiver:
"A man just ran out of my house! He was wearing a blue denim shirt and khaki trousers, and carrying a tattered canvas bag! He said he was there to sell shampoo and shower gel, and he stole my new phone!"

"Depend on……"

Only one swear word came through the receiver, followed by chaos.

I didn't bother explaining to anyone and just ran outside.

In the middle of the street, in front of the monkey's clinic, three men were wrestling together.

Another middle-aged woman kept swinging her handbag, occasionally hitting one of the men on the head.

I rushed over, panting, and said, "Alright, let him go..."

Before she finished speaking, the middle-aged woman suddenly pulled out a brick from behind her and smashed it on the head of one of the men!
The three men entangled together were Monkey, Yan Fengwei, whom they had only recently met.

The woman who swung a brick at people was Meng Zhen, Yan Fengwei's wife.

Another man was knocked to the ground by Meng Zhen with a brick. He was wearing a blue shirt and khaki pants... It was Li Chuang, who had just come from my house.

Yan Fengwei pulled out Li Chuang's belt, turned him over, tied his hands behind his back, pressed one knee against his buttocks, then rubbed his nose and asked Monkey, "What's going on?"

The monkey had already seen me, and looked up at me, asking, "Did this person steal you?"

"Misunderstand……"

I never expected things to turn out this way. I blinked a few times and shouted, "You've got the wrong person... Hurry up and take them inside!"

Li Chuang was carried into the clinic and laid on the examination bed.

The monkey checked him over, scratched his brow, and said, "It's nothing serious. He was just knocked unconscious by his sister-in-law hitting him with a brick. He'll wake up in a bit."

She walked up to me and asked in a low voice, "What happened? Didn't you say this was a thief?"

By this time, the onlookers had dispersed.

However, the small clinic was still quite lively.

Besides me, Pidan, Mengchao, and Monkey, there were also Bai Jing, Xiao Shensan, and Yan Fengwei and his wife who came along... There was no room for any more people in the house.

Bai Jing was the first to ask me, "What exactly happened?"

I gritted my teeth and said, "There's no one else here. Just him, Mudman Li. Before he left, I looked at his profile and noticed something was off. After he left, he received a text message with just two words—'Break up!'"
Then he 'went crazy' and ran off, slipping and falling in the process. If he had actually run out of the street and onto the main road, he would have been hit by a car and killed instantly.

My arm was injured, so even if I chased after him and caught up with him, I couldn't stop him. So I simply called Brother Monkey and told him he was a thief, asking him to help me intercept him.

The monkey said "Oh," and pointed at Yan Fengwei and Meng Zhen: "When I received your call, I saw them coming through the door. I opened the door to greet them, and I saw them at a glance..."

The monkey pointed at Li Chuang lying on the bed: "I saw him running out from your house."

Yan Fengwei chimed in, "When I saw Wenqiang (the monkey's real name is Zhao Wenqiang) pounce on him, I didn't say a word and pounced on him too."

I looked at Meng Zhen.

Meng Zhen shook her freshly washed hands and said, "This bag of mine is too light. A brick would be much more useful."

"So, you brothers and sisters, ganged up on him and knocked him out." After giving his final summary, Xiao Shen San turned to the wall, his shoulders twitching, clearly unable to hold back his laughter any longer.

This period has been really chaotic.

But it also exudes a unique kind of joy.

As a result, although everyone's expression was somewhat different, they all had a half-smile.

Except for Shen San, he was facing the wall with his face turned to the side, laughing so hard that his shoulders were shaking.

In situations like these, it's even harder to start a conversation. Finally, Shen San, who almost choked on his laughter, turned around and glanced at everyone, his gaze finally settling on Meng Zhen's face. In his childish voice, he said:
"Is your aunt pregnant?"

As Yan Fengwei jumped up, he slapped his bald head hard and grabbed the monkey: "Qiangzi, let me see this..."

The monkey took the plastic bag that Meng Zhen shyly pulled out of her bag, took out the pregnancy test stick inside, glanced at it, and immediately said, "Congratulations!"

I was a little stunned: "You got it? That's way too fast!"

"Aren't you a veterinarian? Cats three and dogs four, isn't that fast?" Yan Fengwei was a bit out of his mind and spoke recklessly.

It's just half a day, or even less than half a day.

A lot has happened.

Let's go through them one by one...

First of all, it should be noted that we became acquainted with Yan Fengwei and his wife because of the "Listening to the Wind Bottle" incident. This couple came specifically to see Monkey because of the two red lines on the pregnancy test.

As it turned out, before the two of them even entered the clinic, the monkey received a call from me, learning that I had been 'robbed,' and with the help of the couple, knocked the 'thief' unconscious.

And then, we have the current situation.

In the cubicle with the blue curtain drawn, Li Chuang lay on the examination bed.

Outside, by the counter, a monkey wearing a stethoscope had the other end pressed against Meng Zhen's belly.

Bai Jing, being a woman, joined Pi Dan in the fun at the clinic.

Meng Chao, Yan Fengwei, and I stood or squatted under the eaves at the entrance of the clinic, smoking.

When Shen San walked back, shading his eyes with one hand and carrying a plastic bag in the other, braving the light rain of early winter.

Yan Fengwei asked him first, "Honey, how did you know your aunt was pregnant?"

Xiao Shen glanced at all the men in the doorway, his gaze finally settling on Yan Fengwei's face. He said very seriously, "When my wife was pregnant with our son, her face turned incredibly red. Just like your wife now! Not only was her face red, but her skin was also swollen! And her eyes were swollen and bulging. There's a saying in my hometown: 'Those with slanted eyes are debt collectors, those with pouty eyes are little sweethearts.' Sister-in-law, this pregnancy is most likely a girl!"

Monkeys have a big problem.

No, that can't be considered a problem.

The clinic was small, but he always took his medical practice seriously.

Despite the lack of equipment, he still insisted on giving Meng Zhen a full examination.

Even though Meng Chao and I are both medical students, we only vaguely understood the list of tests he provided.

Without specialized equipment, it will take some time.

At this moment, Bai Jing and Pi Dan devoted all their care to a pregnant woman.

The result was that even the monkeys thought we were in the way of the door and told us to get lost.

I hadn't seen Yan Fengwei for a while, and I didn't have a bad impression of him.

After a moment's thought, he said, "I...I took out a mortgage on that house at the end of the street. Since I'm bored anyway, how about ordering a meal on the street to celebrate my new home?"

Yan Fengwei slapped his thigh: "Absolutely!"

He turned around and shouted into the clinic, "Honey, I'm going to Sanqi's for a drink! Just come over when you're done with your checkup!"

Several people were shielding their heads from the drizzle with one hand, except for Yan Fengwei, who was on the phone: "Manager Feng? Sanfen Middle Street, yes, the one at the very end... number 31, send me a table! Yes, right now! It's my brother's housewarming party, you keep an eye on things! It's only ten people, don't be extravagant, but it has to be good!"

The group of people made a lot of noise as they entered my residence. As soon as they stepped inside, Yan Fengwei froze in place, as if he had been frozen in time.
