False evidence

Chapter 278 Illusory Image (5)

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly explained the relationship between the people.

Xiao Shen scratched his ear and said, "If that's the case, it's very possible that it was because that guy surnamed Zhu knew he was being cuckolded, and used the excuse of a trip to push his friend into the sea."

I asked, "What if the soul refuses to possess the body now? Should we just leave it in the jar?"

Xiao Shen said, "He just won't get on me because I'm small, and he feels insecure. You're different."

"Then let him stay in the jar."

Well, Lü Xin, Liang Kaiyuan, and myself already make three. If we add one more, we'll have a whole mahjong table.

Xiao Shen said seriously, "I think you'd better give it a try. When he was possessed by a human soul, I felt that he was very weak. Perhaps that's why he couldn't possess a carp. Even if you keep him alive with talisman water, he won't last long. If you want the human soul to not dissipate, you have to let him possess a human body."

I shook my head: "You said it yourself, possession by a soul is very troublesome."

In his mind, Lü Xin suddenly said, "It is difficult to expel a person's possession, but you are different. The jade you have been wearing is not an ordinary jade, but a magical artifact used by evil people."

Although you haven't worn it for long, you've already become connected with the jade's energy and blood flow. In other words, the jade is like a part of your body.

Now that your soul has returned to the jade, wearing the jade on your body should have the same effect as possession.

However, water ghosts still can't live without water. They can survive by absorbing a small amount of your life force, but they still need to soak in water periodically.

I said, "I'm young, I can recover from a little loss of energy. Why should I help him?"

“He seems to only care about his wife and children.” Liang Kaiyuan said. “His wife is about to give birth, but Zhu Wanlin isn’t really taking care of her. Someone has to take care of the pregnant woman.”

Lu Xin clicked his tongue: "If you put it that way, Sanqi will be even less willing to help. Regardless of whose child it is, it has nothing to do with him, especially since the other party framed him. But..."

He then changed the subject, "I'm quite curious, did Zhu Wanlin fall in love at first sight with the phantom in the mirage before or after the murder?"

Liang Kaiyuan said, "Sanqi, no matter what, the child is innocent. I only found out later that Meizhi was pregnant, but I was paranoid and hired someone to kill her..."

"okay!"

I shook my head vigorously.

These two guys, one is thinking about his unborn child, and the other is deliberately trying to whet my appetite with his words.

I don't take either of the two sets, but I can't just keep going like this forever.

I officially started driving for ride-hailing services yesterday, and so far I've only earned a stack of ghost money (a type of Chinese currency).

Are we even going to live like this anymore?
I walked to the stairwell, took the white fish jade pendant from the jar in Lu Zelin's arms, and put it directly around my neck without even shaking it.

I couldn't help but shiver a few times, followed by a feeling I had never experienced before.

I am very clear-headed, but I feel somewhat unable to control myself.

As soon as he put on the jade pendant, he quickly walked towards the ward.

Lu Xin sighed, "He's still young and impetuous, stubborn but soft-hearted. He needs to change."

Back in the ward, everyone except Zhu Wanlin looked at me, each with a different expression.

Fang Yun, in particular, winked at me more than once.

No, she was looking at Xiao Shen San who had followed her in, and she was also giving Xiao Shen San a meaningful look, but I couldn't understand what she was trying to say at all.

I stared at her blankly for a while, then took out my phone and ordered takeout.

Gao waved to me and said, "Come and take a look."

I can still control my actions, but it feels awkward. I just don't want to care about anything else and only want to stay close to Fang Jun.

But I still walked over stiffly.

Gao He handed me a few sheets of paper: "This is a drawing by Zhu Wanlin from memory, of the mirage he saw." I glanced at Zhu Wanlin, who was lost in thought again, and took the drawing.

After just one glance, I thought to myself: This painting skill is comparable to mine.

After looking at it a few more times, I started to get a strange feeling.

The first page does indeed depict an ancient building, with simple lines drawn with a pen. While the drawing skills are not exactly impressive, they still convey the grandeur of the architecture to some extent.

The ancient building stands between the sea and the sky, adding to its mysterious atmosphere.

I glanced at Zhu Wanlin again and pulled out the second page.

This painting depicts a section of the ancient building, likely one of its floors.

This drawing is more hastily done, but a woman's figure stands by the railing.

Now look at the third one.

I was momentarily stunned.

This is a portrait of a woman, showing only her head and half of her shoulders.

Compared to the previous two, this one clearly took the most effort. While she may not be considered a beauty, the details of her facial features are depicted quite well.

Zhu Wanlin said to Gao He with some trepidation:

"Captain Gao, I'm not very good at drawing, and I don't have a deep impression of other things in the mirage, but I remember the woman's appearance very clearly. Can you...can you help me with the jigsaw puzzle?"

Gao He said indifferently, "Whether or not to do the jigsaw puzzle is not up to you. If you need to find someone, you can file a police report, provide their name, information, and photo, and explain the situation. If it meets the criteria for filing a case, then doing the jigsaw puzzle should be fine."

Zhu Wanlin immediately retorted, "If I had the data and photos, why would I need to make a jigsaw puzzle?"

Gao He's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was about to speak when Fang Yun said:
"Wan Lin, could you go home and get me some things?"

Under the intense scrutiny of Liu Yu and Meng Zhen, Zhu Wanlin had no choice but to get up, ask what he needed, and then give Gao He a pitiful look before leaving the ward.

He had been gone for about ten minutes when Fang Jun picked up his phone and made a call, seemingly giving Zhu Wanlin a few more instructions.

It was at this moment that the food delivery arrived.

Fang Jun hung up the phone and immediately beckoned to Xiao Shen: "Come here!"

I walked over with Xiao Shen San.

Fang Jun looked into Xiao Shen San's eyes, her expression gradually becoming puzzled.

Xiao Shen was a shrewd person; he easily figured out the key point. He then feigned a naive and shy demeanor and shrank behind me.

"Auntie, I was crying just now because you remind me a bit of my deceased mother..."

As if she had finally received confirmation, Fang Jun leaned heavily against the headboard and closed her eyes tightly.

A cool sensation emanated from the jade pendant, and I couldn't help but say, "I don't know how to peel an apple, and you don't like apples either."

Fang Yun suddenly opened her eyes and looked at me.

I glanced at the almost untouched takeout box on the table, made some space, put it down, and whispered as I opened the packaging, "It's still hot, eat it quickly."

Fang Jun didn't take the lunchbox I offered. She looked at Xiao Shen San, then at me, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you people?"

Holding the lunchbox, I muttered, "It's rice mixed with lard, no scallions, and lots of fried pork cracklings. It won't taste good when it's cold."

As I said this, tears streamed down my face uncontrollably...
