False evidence

Chapter 221 Another Face
I told Tu Siping: Whatever Grandpa does, it's for my own good.

I'm not saying this because I think the master would drug me, but because I want to end this conversation.

Tu Siping clearly realized that the meeting and conversation had not been pleasant, so he gave me a card and told me that I could contact him directly if I had any difficulties.

As we walked out of the venue, Yan Fengwei suddenly said to me, "Could I take another look at the pictures you and Shen San showed me last time?"

"What picture?"

I didn't realize it at first, but I remembered it as soon as I finished speaking.

Before Old Cat Stinky Egg died, he instructed me to open another hidden compartment in the birdcage where Mao Zangjin was kept. Inside was a map with human skin tattoos.

The birdcage itself was valuable enough, so the map was certainly no ordinary thing, especially since it was made of human skin.

We couldn't see anything amiss, but we didn't dare show the map to anyone easily, so Xiao Shen San drew down two places he thought were important and took them to Yan Fengwei's shop.

Yan Fengwei said at the time that the two 'buildings' were extremely illogical and unlikely to exist in reality.

But later, we found one of those places at Uncle Cheng's house.

That wasn't a building, but a stove with a special mechanism.

Just then, Yan Fengwei suddenly asked to see the picture again, so I took out my phone without hesitation and showed him the picture of the other location that I had taken.

He glanced at it twice and nodded, saying, "I know where this place is."

A thought flashed through my mind: "You know?"

Yan Fengwei said, "Just now in the tea room in Tu Siping, I noticed a painting on the wall. It was a traditional Chinese ink painting of an ancient temple deep in the mountains. In the painting, there was a gate at the foot of the mountain leading into the mountain."

He pointed to the picture on his phone: "What's in this picture isn't a pavilion or a tower, it's a memorial archway! But look, this picture isn't drawn to scale, and many parts don't match reality. From different angles, at first glance it looks square and upright. If you didn't see similar buildings, it would be hard to imagine that this is a memorial archway."

I asked, "Are there any similar archways around here?"

Yan Fengwei said, "They used to be there, but they were all demolished later. Why don't you send me a copy of this picture, and I'll check it for you when I get back?"

I immediately sent him the photo.

When I got home, Pidan saw that I was covered in injuries again and immediately got angry, only saying:
"Go take a shower first, then go to Brother Monkey's to get the medicine applied."

Then she went back to her parents' home... which was convenient for her.

I went into the bathroom, and the hot water washed over me; I can't quite describe the feeling.

Thinking back on what happened this afternoon, I started to feel that something was wrong.

Did the master really drug me?

Even if he drugged me, the old man would never harm me. But what's wrong with me, feeling dizzy and confused since the afternoon?

Back in the bedroom, my mind was still a mess.

Might as well stop thinking about anything, get some sleep, and just let things take their course tomorrow.

I was drying my hair when I turned around unintentionally and what I saw made me gasp in shock.

In the dressing mirror, on my bare back, the wolf head mark had actually grown a bit longer!
It was originally just a wolf's head, but somehow it grew a neck!
At this point, recalling what Tu Siping had said about the Iron Monkey and the Ghost Hand, I finally began to believe it.

No matter what, Lü Xin was just a consciousness.

The wolf head, which I had almost ignored all this time, was actually a real demon and evil spirit!

Bai Jing said that once the wolf mark was fully grown, I would be completely controlled by the evil spirit. Could it be that Master really planted a ghost hand in me?
What triggered the appearance of the ghost hand was not Lü Xin's consciousness, but the evil wolf that possessed him.

This should have been a terrifying discovery, but perhaps because I've been through so much lately, I've become numb, and I feel like I'm immune to the itch of having too many lice.

After getting dressed, I went to the kitchen and found the half-empty bottle of liquor I had left over from last time. I used half of it to rub the bruises and drank the other half, then fell asleep.

……

Before he died, Uncle Cheng entrusted me with taking good care of Fang Ling.

Fang Ling's condition has been very poor, but fortunately, Gao He's wife is taking care of her.

Although the clinic's business is slow, it's still a business... especially one that someone entrusted to me, so I'll still keep it running.

Uncle Cheng said that I absolutely cannot accept the half of the family business he left me. Since I have no other way to make a living, I should just open the clinic first.

That day, Jiang Budai came to pick up his cat.

He was truly broke, but seeing the lively little calico kitten, he insisted on telling my fortune again as a token of his gratitude.

I refused.

Because what I've wanted from the very beginning is a stable and secure life.

Even with all the troubles, I don't want to change my original intention.

The key point is that I also know that his divination with the cloth bag, besides letting me know some false and illusory information, will only bring me more mental distress and cannot cure my problem.

After seeing Jiang Budai off, I received a phone call.

Seeing that it was lawyer Yu Jilin calling, I quickly answered the call.

His voice was urgent, and his words were vague. He said that Yue Rong was sick and in the hospital, and that he wanted me to go and see her.

After hanging up the phone, recalling the last time I parted ways with Yue Rong, I slapped myself hard.

Sanqi, you're getting more and more of a jerk! How could you forget about this...?

Rushing to the hospital, I entered the ward, and Yu Jilin got up and came over to me in a low voice:
"She's been complaining of pain since this morning. When the doctor asked her where it hurt, she couldn't say, and the doctor couldn't find anything wrong either. She just had a sedative and fell asleep."

Yu Jilin's expression turned somewhat unpleasant, and he lowered his voice even further: "Why did she insist on seeing you?"

We're both men, so I naturally understood what he meant. I quickly said, "I contacted her last time because I wanted to use her lawyer status... I thought I could find the kidnapper who abducted me, so I asked her to help with some consultations and investigations. But I'm sorry, the main culprit wasn't caught, and some other things happened instead. I'm sorry."

"What happened?" As a lawyer, Yu Jilin's mind was quite clear.

Before the words were finished, a struggle suddenly came from the hospital bed: "It hurts! It hurts so much... I can't take it anymore... Please, have mercy on me..."

Yu Jilin's expression changed, and he walked a few steps to the bedside, hurriedly pressing the call button to summon the doctor.

However, the shouting stopped abruptly the moment the doctor pushed the door open.

At this moment, Yue Rong's face was deathly pale, her head was covered in sweat, and her eyebrows and mouth were twitching constantly, making her look extremely painful.

However, she leaned against Yu Jilin's chest and looked at me with an extremely resentful gaze.

She was originally quite nice, but at this moment, she gave me the creeps.

Because I saw another face.

Another woman's face!
