False evidence

Chapter 266 Diary (2)

"Hey!"

With a call, I returned to reality.

Pidan, Fangling, and Xie Xiaohuan all looked at me with strange expressions.

I shook my head vigorously and said to myself with a laugh, "I drank at noon and then drank again at night, so I'm a little drunk."

"You're not drunk."

Jie Xiaohuan pointed at me and said, "Take a look at the notebook."

I looked down following her gesture and found that a pen had appeared in my hand sometime during the night.

The diary had been turned to the back, where two lines of text had been clearly newly written.

"Did I write this?"

I asked, taken aback.

That's clearly my handwriting.

Pidan said, "That's exactly what you just wrote down."

Fang Ling said, "Xiao Huan gave you the pen."

I had a very strange feeling. Without asking anyone else, I looked at what I had written.

——On December 13th, it was cold and lightly snowing.

Zhao Wenqiang accidentally caused someone's death, which led to his imprisonment.

"Zhao Wenqiang..." I felt the name was familiar, but because I had drunk too much, I couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"It's Monkey King!" Pidan reminded me.

I slapped my thigh and exclaimed, "December 13th is the lunar date, which is today! The monkey is going to spoil the meal!"

I hurriedly handed the diary to Fang Ling, got up and walked out while taking out my phone to call Monkey.

The diary was torn open, and in an instant, I saw only a bizarre yet infuriating scene.

I saw monkeys violently beating a woman.

Just as I was about to stop the monkey, I was 'wake up' by Pidan.

I didn't see that scene because I saw the monkey's face.

I knew that woman, but we weren't close.

Phrases are directed at people; since I didn't see anyone, I can only attribute what I "saw" to hallucinations caused by drunkenness.

However, the new words written in the diary were written by me.

This inevitably makes people think a lot.

I asked, "Are you home?"

On the other end of the phone, Monkey's voice was a little muffled: "No, I just came out. I'm going to take care of something with Brother Hang."

"Stay where you are and wait for me!"

Before the call was even over, I could see several people standing at the street corner in the distance.

Upon closer inspection, besides the monkey and Meng Chao, there was also a large, chubby man with a fair complexion.

I know this person; he's a neighbor from the same street, named Min Hang, and he lives right next to Monkey.

The woman I saw being brutally beaten by the monkey was his wife; I think her name was Xie Ximei.

I asked the monkeys, "Where are you going?"

Min Hang, who had also been drinking, said with a sullen face and reeking of alcohol:
"My wife went drinking with another man! If you're a true brother, come with me!"

Monkey coughed lightly. "Sanqi, it's nothing serious. I'll go with Hang-ge to see what's going on. You and Pidan go back first."

I hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll go with you."

That diary was so strange it was unbelievable. The two things that Jie Xiaohuan said were recorded in the diary, and they both came true. How could I dare to be careless?

Besides, I also find it strange.

Judging from Min Hang's expression, you can tell what he meant by "taking a trip".

Even if his wife really was having an affair, given Monkey's usual style, he would only try to mediate. Fighting is definitely not Monkey's forte, so how did he, an outsider, end up accidentally killing someone? Everyone had been drinking, and since Pidan didn't have a driver's license, they had to walk to the back street.

Meng Chao whispered to me, "The fat guy's wife told him she was working overtime. A friend of his called him and said his wife was having dinner with someone at a restaurant on the back street."

At this hour, having dinner with another man, and hiding it from her husband—what could be going on? It's as obvious as a bald man's lice—it's plain to see. I wasn't comfortable with it, so I went along to check it out.”

Under the streetlights, looking at Meng Chao's expression, I couldn't help but spit out my drink: "You should take care of yourself first!"

Keeping Meng Chao was absolutely the right choice.

During the day, he looked like he was under a dark cloud, but now he looks like he's having the worst luck ever.

There was nothing written about him in the diary, but knowing his personality, and considering how much he drank, if Monkey were to get into a fight, he'd fight to the death!
As soon as he entered the back alley of Sanfen, Pidan frowned.

This area is already considered a "dog skin plaster neighborhood," with restaurants and grocery stores interspersed with many "little pink lights."

Even though they clearly saw that there were women among us, those scantily clad women, they still tapped on the glass and made suggestive gestures by beckoning with their fingers.

I wasn't familiar with Min Hang, so I could only pull the monkey aside and whisper:
"Even an upright official can't settle family disputes. No matter what, we can only advise. If Minhang resorts to violence, we can at most try to break it up, but we can't get involved!"

“I know.” Monkey scratched his ear and lowered his voice: “His wife usually doesn’t seem like anything special, so why is she out having dinner with someone late at night? If she were here, he would definitely have hit her. We should just try to persuade her and hold her back, and if that doesn’t work, we should call the police.”

As we were talking, we arrived outside a hot pot restaurant. Pidan, with his sharp eyes, tugged at me and pointed inside through the glass window.

I've hardly ever been to the backstreet, but the interior design there was exactly the same as what I saw when I tore up my diary.

Following the direction pointed out by the preserved egg, it was easy to see that the only woman at that table was Minhang's wife, Xie Ximei!
Min Hang lifted the curtain and went in, gesturing for the boss to be quiet.

The hot pot restaurant owner was a worldly man; seeing several of us rush in, he quickly hid behind the counter.

Besides Xie Ximei, there were only three grown men at that table.

The three men were drinking, but Xie Ximei didn't drink. However, some of the things she said while chatting and laughing seemed rather frivolous.

If women are like this, then men are even more so.

They keep spouting those lewd jokes; it's disgusting to even listen to them.

"Oh shit!"

After listening for a while, Min Hang grabbed a beer bottle and was about to rush forward.

The monkey grabbed his waist and said, "Don't be impulsive!"

As they went back and forth, the other party heard the noise and looked over.

When Xie Ximei saw her husband, her face turned pale with fright.

I underestimated the situation. At this point, even if I were with Monkey and Meng Chao, how could we possibly stop Min Hang?

A beer bottle flew by and almost knocked over the hot pot.

Scalding hot liquid splashed everywhere, and both men and women screamed in pain.

Seeing that things were going badly, the other two tables of customers left without even paying their bills.

"I'll fuck you..."

A tall man grabbed a wine bottle and charged straight at the preserved egg.

"Holy crap!"

Seeing that this was the kind of person he was, I couldn't contain my anger and took him down with a single shot.

With four against two, the opposing team wouldn't dare to take the initiative.

"Brother, let's talk this out, don't resort to violence!"

The guy who said that was the same tall guy whose front tooth I knocked out with one punch.

I thought to myself, "Do you have any shame? It's normal to pick on the weak, but you went after the woman first. Now that you've gotten the short end of the stick, you're trying to talk things out."

Min Hang cursed at Xie Ximei: "Fuck your mother, you son of a bitch! Didn't you say you were working overtime? You're working overtime at the dinner table! Are you going to work overtime in bed later?"

Xie Ximei's face flushed red and then turned green. Driven to her wits' end by the scolding, she suddenly screamed hysterically:

"Yes, yes! I'm a slut! I'm promiscuous! I not only sleep with them, I also..."

She suddenly pointed at him, "I've slept with him!"

My heart skipped a beat. This woman was referring to none other than Monkey!
