False evidence

Chapter 213 Ya Zi
Jiang Guangmin (in the black vest) was stunned for a while after hearing Gao He's words. After recovering, he stepped forward and said urgently:

How is my mother now?

"She's been taken to the hospital. She's fine now."

Gao said something and looked at me again.

I looked into his eyes, my lips pressed tightly together.

At that moment, the old woman's voice suddenly rang out again in the room:

"Dongzi, Mom is alright now, don't worry."

Gao He raised an eyebrow: "This is the first time I've known you had this skill."

"This is the first time I've known you had this skill."

A voice exactly like his, like a broken record, spoke behind him.

Gao He turned to look at Jiang Budai, who was lounging on the sofa.

At this moment, Jiang Budai... could only be described as a pitiful sight.

However, he was a 'stinking beggar,' a person whose life was cheap but also tough.

Jiang Budai grinned and then turned to Lin Dan: "Xiao Dan, go to the car and get my underwear."

Lin Dan almost lost his balance and fell headfirst.

That's because Jiang Budai's words, tone, and speaking speed were exactly the same as Gao He's.

Of course, when he told Lin Dan to go to the car to get his underwear, besides being a joke, the main reason was to show that he was the one who was speaking.

"Voice acting! Brilliant, truly brilliant!"

Gao He gave him a thumbs up, then turned his thumb directly to me: "Ventriloquism! Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant!"

I instinctively clasped my hands in a fist salute to him and said, "I'm sorry for making a fool of myself. This Brother Jiang is the real hero."

Apart from Jiang Budai, everyone, including Gao He, was stunned.

Meng Chao reacted quickly this time, and after regaining his senses, he pointed at me and 'introduced' me, saying, "This is... Tenth Master."

Gao He's eyes darted around slightly as he looked at the paper figures on the counter, then pointed to the two that had collapsed not long ago: "This is... I mean, Tenth Master, right? Can you explain this?"

"There are some things that Tenth Master can't say, so let me explain for him."

The one speaking was Jiang Budai.

Nowadays, the way he looks at me is quite complicated.

He struggled to sit up and pointed towards the counter:
"This brother, though young, is proficient in... the art of divination using the Six Lines method. This brother has calculated..."

He pointed to Jiang Guangmin: "I calculated the names and birth dates of this child and his family, but the last divination showed that the child's mother was in danger."

Jiang Budai looked at me, and after a moment of silence, continued, "Since I've already said it, I might as well be frank. Anyway—I'm never afraid of offending anyone. This brother... this Tenth Master, although he is skilled in divination, his methods are unorthodox; he's taken a crooked and evil path."

The old woman's voice just now was indeed produced by him using ventriloquism. Ordinary people don't know the power of evil magic. But… to put it another way—demons arise from the heart, and so does the path. The path—is walked by people. He could have achieved his goal, but he was distracted. Because while he wanted to achieve his goal, he was also concerned about the old woman's life or death. That's why his ventriloquism wasn't fully executed, and that's why this young man surnamed Jiang saw through his disguise.”

Jiang Budai pointed at Jiang Guangmin again: "Now I want you to know—Tenth Master really saved your mother. If he lacked even a shred of kindness... let me put it this way, I believe even the police officers might not know that your nickname is Dongzi, right?"

Jiang Guangmin nodded blankly: "Only my parents call me that nickname. My father is paralyzed due to a stroke and can no longer speak. I was wondering just now...did I mention that nickname during the interrogation...? That can't be, can it?"

Jiang Budai ignored him and instead said to Gao He, "The Sixty-Four Hexagrams of King Wen, also known as the Sixty-Four Hexagrams of King Wen, are only known by this Tenth Master. What a coincidence, the birth dates of this young man surnamed Jiang are all within the Tenth Master's divination range."

Because the mother of this child surnamed Jiang suffered from the bitter cold underground, which is considered a water calamity in the Five Elements theory. Water and fire are incompatible, so to save her, one must use the yang blood of a rooster.

Tenth Master ultimately chose to save the person. He knew there wasn't enough time to buy a rooster, so he decided to use his own blood to save the life. However, a funeral procession happened to pass by the door. The wailing of the mourners broke his spell, and his efforts were in vain.

So, if I want to save someone again, I have to use bloodshed to dispel the gloom. Because Tenth Master saved my cat, and I didn't have any money to give him, I went to help him with this. But…”

Jiang Budai turned to me, his face full of suspicion, and said, "There's something I don't understand. How do you know the person in the hearse isn't dead? With your divination skills, it seems you shouldn't be able to predict that, especially since you haven't even cast a hexagram for them!"

I smiled and said, "We're both from the same martial world, so you know there are some things that are inconvenient to say. But—Brother Jiang and I hit it off immediately, so if you ask, I'll tell you."

Besides my rudimentary divination skills, I also know a little about physiognomy. I noticed that although the old man didn't have longevity eyebrows, he did have prominent eyes, indicating that he wasn't a good-tempered person.

The death of a loved one should bring tears to one's eyes. But this man shed more tears than he wept; therefore, the deceased must be a descendant. Since the old man showed no signs of having male heirs to carry on the family line, the deceased must be a female descendant…

In short, Brother Jiang, since we're laymen, let's not speak like experts. I'll just say that the origin of this action was derived from physiognomy.

I could tell that the old man was the kind of stubborn old man who could drive someone to their death. However, he had the appearance of someone who would be seen off by his own family in his final days.

If that's the case, then the person in the coffin he brought to "scout the way home" (an old custom in some places where a "lucky day" is chosen before burial; it's similar to looking at the surrounding environment when buying a house) should still have a glimmer of hope.

so……"

I smiled at Jiang Budai and didn't continue speaking.

Gao He and Lin Dan both seemed stunned.

At this moment, Gao He glanced at me sideways and said, "Tenth Master, right? I believe you, there really is such a person! Because, you see, I've discovered that you can't speak 'human language' anymore."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Jiang Budai suddenly jumped up and rushed straight to him.

Jiang Budai's current appearance is truly unappealing.

He was already slovenly, and because he blocked a funeral procession, he crashed into himself, leaving him with a bloody head. This 'quack doctor' Meng Chao gave him a makeshift bandage with some medicine gauze from a (f***ing) pet clinic.

Therefore, even Gao He was taken aback by his sudden action.

Jiang Budai had his back to me, but instead of lowering his voice, he spoke to Gao He in a deep voice:
"Before the three of you came, there were six and a half people in this room besides me. Now, not counting you, there are still six and a half people in this room, but one of them has been replaced by another person."

I begged you, officer, not to speak recklessly because, while this new officer isn't a major villain, he's extremely narrow-minded and vindictive. If you offend him…”

Jiang Budai didn't continue, and in fact, there was no need to.

Because I've already made eye contact with Gao He...
