False evidence

Chapter 234 The Most Familiar Stranger (5)

I felt a chill run down my spine when I heard that.

Looking at Xiao Shensan and Fang Ling, they were also more or less frightened.

The scene of 'a person without a face' is perhaps difficult to visualize.

However, Liang Kaiyuan's description was far too detailed.

According to his account, the person suddenly emerged from the water less than two meters in front of him.

As soon as the other person appeared, he saw a face that was completely uncovered, but without eyes, mouth, or nose—just a pale, white face with a slight blush on the cheeks!

Upon seeing this scene, Liang Kaiyuan panicked.

It wasn't panic, but a frantic attempt to climb ashore.

He wanted to get the camera!

"The scene was so beautiful. I just regretted leaving the camera on the shore and not capturing that wonderful moment!" Liang Kaiyuan said, lost in thought.

I thought to myself: This guy is definitely mentally ill. Otherwise, how could he think that a big, white face without eyes, nose, or mouth is beautiful?
Seeing that Xiao Shen and I were grinning, Fang Ling reminded us:

"He just said that it was the first time he had a dream. He was just describing it to us; what he actually saw and felt at the time was probably not like that!"

Liang Kaiyuan seemed to have found a kindred spirit and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes! I couldn't see her face, but it wasn't scary at all! I just thought she was very beautiful... The scenery was beautiful, but she herself was even more beautiful! I don't know how to put it, anyway..."

"nice!"

Xiao Shen and I said in unison.

"Yes, it's beautiful!"

Hearing Liang Kaiyuan's response, I suddenly felt sorry for him.

There are just too many words to describe a scene or a woman.

Judging from Liang Kaiyuan's previous account, he was definitely well-educated.

But now, the only adjective he seems to know is "beautiful".

This makes one wonder—how unforgettable and beautiful that must have been?
Let's assume he was talking about his past life.

His past life was so wonderful; his shared experiences with Li Meizhi in this life are surely in line with the modern 'romantic rules'.
How did it end up being a tragedy?
Fang Ling clearly shared the same regret, but compared to my impulsiveness and Xiao Shen San's 'naivety,' she was far superior.

She asked Liang Kaiyuan in a very soft voice, "And then? What happened between you two?"

Liang Kaiyuan actually showed a hesitant expression and lowered his head, saying:
"She questioned me, asking why I had played a trick on her. It was still very hot, and she was only wearing thin clothes... She was soaked in sweat. When I looked at her, I... I couldn't say anything, I just stared at her with wide eyes..."

"Where are you looking at her?" Xiao Shen suddenly interrupted.

"I see her..."

Liang Kaiyuan realized what was happening, looked up at Xiao Shensan, and finally revealed his fierce expression once again: "Little brat, don't get involved!"

Xiao Shen chuckled slyly, "Hehehe, we're all men, from teenagers to men in their fifties, it's all the same, we just understand each other."

Fang Ling frowned impatiently and said, "Can you guys stop messing around? Can't you let people finish what they're saying?"

I shrugged to indicate my innocence.

She had called Xiao Shen San over, so she couldn't blame him too much.

She glared at Xiao Shen San again, then turned to Liang Kaiyuan: "Continue..."

Liang Kaiyuan's expression suddenly changed: "No, I have to go!"

Although I was surprised, I still got up to see him off: "Take care, don't slip, and don't come again!"

"I will come back to find you again..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liang Kaiyuan had already rushed out through the glass door and disappeared into the snowstorm in an instant.

The next second, there was a knock on the door.

Xiao Shen went over and unlocked the inner lock.

Gao He and his lover walked in together.

His wife walked straight to Fang Ling's side. Gao He then came directly to me, raised one eyebrow, and asked vaguely, "I heard you're seriously ill?"

He then lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Shen and I exchanged a glance, and I could only shrug at him, but I didn't forget to sincerely praise him:
"Comrade, Hao Zheng's aura is so strong, you will never see ghosts in your entire life."

Gao He, unaware of what was going on, rolled his eyes at me, leaned closer, and whispered:

"Your sister-in-law just went to Wenqiang's (Monkey's) clinic to get some tranquilizers, and she also called me, saying something's wrong with you. What does that mean? Has something really happened?"

I turned to the side, separated from him and his partner, and exchanged a glance with Fang Ling. Only then did I realize what excuse Fang Ling had used to send his partner away.

"I am fine."

Looking at the couple who treated us so sincerely, I felt a pang of guilt.

Gao He raised an eyebrow again: "Nonsense! Of course I know you're fine! If you were really in trouble, you would have called me! Stop rambling and just tell me honestly, what was the reason for your 'schizophrenia' before?"

I shrugged helplessly again and said in a low voice, "You know some things are pointless to say."

Gao He nodded, but said, "I only believe that you know what you're doing."

As he spoke, he turned around and gave his wife an exaggerated hug from behind.

"Stop it, Sanqi..."

"What do you mean 'he'? He's just a lunatic, what's it to you!"

"you……"

"Let's go, let's go, let's forget about the ball. I finally got off work early, let's go eat..."

Gao He, as expected of the captain, scared Liang Kaiyuan away on his first visit, and then coaxed his wife away on his second visit.

Then... I was holding a medicine bottle labeled 'sedative', and Fang Ling, Xiao Shen, and I were staring at each other in bewilderment.

After a while, Xiao Shen said, "I don't think that guy is a bad person."

Fang Ling and Lu Zelin still had things to hide, but she had nothing to hide from him anymore, and immediately said:

"Of course he's not bad! Would a bad man be that stupid?"

Fang Ling looked at me: "What do you plan to do?"

I countered with, "What kind of deal do you think he proposed?"

Fang Ling hesitated, "Even if he willingly gives up his Yin life, he will inevitably have entanglements with the person who receives it in the next life..."

Fang Ling and I looked at each other, then her eyes widened suddenly: "He's been dead for months, he's not a 'fool,' he should know a lot... Could it be that he wants to trade Li Meizhi's ghostly life with you?"

That's why I'm not interested.

As I spoke, I handed Shuanzhu to Xiao Shensan, asking him to take Shuanzhu back for the night. Then I took down the white down jacket hanging on the wall and draped it over Fang Ling.

Fang Ling turned her head and said, "Don't you want to know the truth?"

"You really think you're some kind of great detective from the Republican era?"

As I put on my coat, I glanced down at her unsteady foot: "I remember there used to be a detective in Hong Kong nicknamed 'Crippled Ho,' you don't want to be 'Crippled Ling,' do you?"

……

Some things are destined to remain unclear.

But there are some things that you can't hide from even if you pretend to be confused.

Fang Ling moved into my house after she became Fang Ling, and moved downstairs to the room where I originally lived.

We both know who she is, so whether Pidan is there or not, we won't cross the line.

However, that evening, I had just finished showering and was lying in bed chatting with Pidan.

Fang Ling suddenly rushed in...
