False evidence

Chapter 259 Hypnosis
I asked Xiao Shen why there was no Zhonghei Sweet Village.

Xiao Shen chuckled dryly and said, "It's not that the 'Dark Dream Land' doesn't work, it's that I have no dreams."

I asked in surprise, "How could you not have dreams?"

Xiao Shen said, "I spent a hundred years as a lonely soul in the desolate snow-capped mountains. A hundred years is enough to erase all dreams."

I was lost in thought.

Xiao Shen San said, "Your move of using someone's own methods against them is indeed brilliant, but don't you think it's a bit too easy for Daoist Lü to die like that?"

I smiled and said, "What else?"

Xiao Shen gave me a deep look: "I don't think you'll let him off so easily."

……

Gao He and Fang Ling both fell victim to the Black Sweet Land.

When Liang Kaiyuan returned in the early hours of the morning, I used a special method to wake them both up.

Gao He woke up and checked the time, then jumped up, exclaiming, "Master Lü was here? I've been poisoned?"

I nodded.

"Where is he?" Gao asked anxiously. "What did you do to him?"

"Ran."

"Ran?"

“He ran away.” I let out a long sigh. “I advised him to turn himself in, and he agreed. But he ran away halfway there. I figured he could run away, but he couldn’t hide, so I didn’t chase after him.”

Seeing Gao He's suspicious look, I laughed and said, "You seem to have 'accidentally' left your phone in the outer room last night. If you recorded the video, you can see for yourself whether I'm telling the truth or not."

Gao and Maoyao pulled a cell phone from under a cabinet, swiped it a couple of times, and the conversation from last night quickly came through the speaker.

Gao He finished reading and was about to speak when his phone rang.

After he finished the call, he looked at me with a gloomy face: "Another person has frozen to death at the garbage dump."

"Oh."

"Come with me!"

I sighed helplessly.

Just as I stepped outside, a woman's cries suddenly came from upstairs: "Help... Help me..."

I was taken aback, and Gao He had already shot off like an arrow.

They ran upstairs, but before they even reached the eighth floor, they saw a disheveled woman with her hair in a mess, being dragged into a room by a man by her ankles.

"stop!"

Gao He went up and pulled Liang Yuan away.

I checked on the woman's condition and was furious.

The woman was beaten so badly that both her eyes were swollen shut, and blood was seeping from her mouth when she opened it.

"internal injury!"

While calling 120 (emergency services), I tried to stop Fang Ling from moving, saying, "Her internal organs might be ruptured. Don't move her, or she'll die!"

Liang Yuan, reeking of alcohol but still sober after his hangover, was taken aback by what he heard and burst into tears:

"Xiaoqin, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I just couldn't control myself..."

"If you can't control yourself, just chop off your hand!"

Gao He was really angry. He tripped him and knocked him to the ground, then rushed over to help the woman.

Liang Yuan cried to himself, "I know she's a good woman and wouldn't do anything outrageous. It's just that I'm incompetent and can't afford a nice house, so I can only live with her in this wretched place."

"Bullshit!"

Xiao Shen angrily retorted, "It's not that the place is dirty, it's that you've lost your mind and your heart is tainted!"

Liang Yuan suddenly laughed hysterically: "I must have lost my mind... Xiao Qin, I'm so sorry!"

I sensed something was wrong and quickly said, "Hold him down..."

Before the words were even out of his mouth, Liang Yuan scrambled to his feet and ran into the house.

Gao and I rushed inside, and when we reached the inner room, we saw Liang Yuan jump out of the window. I originally hated this guy intensely, but for some reason, when he was crying just now, I felt a strange sense of guilt.

Driven by this feeling, he recklessly lunged forward.

At the last second, I managed to grab one of his hands.

"Don't let go!" My chest ached from being pressed against the windowsill, but my guilt was so intense it hurt my heart.

The windows in this old-style staff housing were only wide enough for one person to squeeze through. Gao He was afraid of hurting me and Liang Yuan, so he didn't dare to break the fixed window panes next to us. Assessing the situation, he hurriedly said:

"Hold on! I'll go to the seventh floor to catch him!"

Just as Gao He was coming downstairs, Liang Yuan suddenly looked up at me, her eyes becoming somewhat confused.

"It's you!" he exclaimed in surprise. "How could it be you?"

At the same time, I blurted out a name: "How could it be you?!"

The two stared at each other for a moment, then Liang Yuan suddenly gave a bitter smile:
"I've cared for you my whole life, why is this how it is in this life? Is this what I got in return for being filial to my parents-in-law?"

My eyes involuntarily welled up with tears, and I murmured, "I'm sorry..."

"It's fate, it's all fate..."

Liang Yuan said something, then suddenly reached out his other hand and grabbed the back of my hand hard.

My fingers involuntarily loosened, and he slipped from my grasp, plummeting down the building...

Liang Yuan and the woman were taken to the hospital by an ambulance that arrived at the scene.

Upon investigation, it was found that the fat man who froze to death in the garbage dump while only wearing thermal underwear was named Lü Meng and was a Taoist priest.

Two days later, Gao called me and said that the woman who had been severely abused by the family was out of danger.

Although Liang Yuan survived after emergency treatment, he was declared brain dead, meaning he became a vegetable.

He only has a girlfriend and no other family. If his girlfriend agrees, then they can give up his treatment.

I quickly said, "Please don't, maybe a miracle will happen."

The next day, Gao He came to my house and said as soon as he saw me:
Liang Yuan's girlfriend refused to give up, and Liang Yuan miraculously woke up this morning.

I was somewhat lost in thought: "Is it a miracle, or is it fate...?"

Gao and I were pulled away, got into his big jeep, and headed straight for the prison.

In the meeting room, Tong Xiangnan smiled and said to me, "Captain Gao said on the phone that you haven't been doing well lately. But you look great to me."

"You've gained weight too."

"Lack of exercise."

Tong Xiangnan tapped the table twice. "Let's hurry up and get down to business."

I said, "Let me ask you a question first. What are your thoughts on the so-called past and present lives?"

Tong Xiangnan looked at me for a while and said, "It seems you have a lot of new questions. Tell me about them."

I glanced at Gao He and sighed. "You might as well hypnotize me, but don't use preserved eggs as an excuse. I find it offensive."

Tong Xiangnan shrugged: "No problem, as long as you don't resist and are completely relaxed, hypnosis is not difficult."

As he spoke, he lightly tapped the table with his backhand – “Tap!”

"Try to think about lighthearted things now, imagine yourself in a relaxed environment, with people who make you feel relaxed..."

"Tuk-tuk!"

"Tuk tuk tuk..."

With each tap he made, I closed my eyes and gradually cleared my mind.

"Are you Sanqi or Lü Xin?" Tong Xiangnan's voice came.

I opened my eyes and was still in the meeting room, but the person I was facing had changed.

Tong Xiangnan, who was originally sitting opposite me, had suddenly transformed into Lü Xin, dressed in a moon-white long robe.

Gao He, who was originally standing next to me, suddenly transformed into Liang Kaiyuan!
