False evidence

Chapter 286 The Seawater is Salty
Liu Yier suddenly stood up: "Do you have a way to save him?"

My eyes darted around: "I'll do my best! But first you need to calm down! Tell me, how did those people from the Liu family... and your children, die?"

This time, Liu Yi'er was straightforward: "An unexpected accident! The eldest brother was hit by the collapsing wall, and the second brother was..."

As he began to explain, I had already closed my eyes.

At first, all I could see was darkness.

After a while, light shone through my eyelids.

I suddenly opened my eyes, and what I saw was a completely different scene.

It's not a matter of being unfamiliar or familiar; I'm simply meticulously recording every single detail...

"Are you even listening to me?!"

A thunderous roar erupted, and my body shook violently.

When I opened my eyes, Liu Yier was already in front of me, his hands gripping my shoulders tightly.

Meng Chao and Pi Dan were trying their best to pull him away.

"Let go!"

I glanced sideways at Liu Yier as he released his grip, then looked directly at him and said, word by word:

"From today onwards, no one other than relatives and friends is allowed to touch my shoulder!"

The reason I was so annoyed was that just a second ago, I was about to see the most crucial point clearly, but Liu Yi'er shook me awake, causing me to miss the opportunity.

I got up and helped Liu Yi'er into a chair, and said slowly:
"Liu Hong helped me just yesterday, so I'll return the favor and do my best to find him. Until then, please stay here and wait for my news! Just a reminder, my wife isn't in good health, so please don't let her suffer."

"I will go with you!"

"Need not!"

I shook my head, turned around and walked out. "Mengniu, drive me!"

Pidan followed him out: "I'll go with you. I get creeped out by him."

I turned my head to look behind her.

"Wang Wang!"

Shuanzhu tilted his head and barked at me twice.

"go together!"

Once I got in the car, I quickly searched for navigation.

Meng Chao, touching the steering wheel, said, "This is an automatic? How are you supposed to drive it?"

I mounted the pre-set phone on the holder: "Step on the brake with your right rear leg, shift to D gear, and then it's like a bumper car!"

"Right hind leg...you're the one with a hind leg!"

"Do you know where Liu Hong is?" Pi Dan asked.

I said, "I don't know if you should congratulate me, but my physiognomy skills seem to have improved. I just met Liu Hong yesterday, and as I recalled his appearance, I slowly began to see what he saw."

Pidan glanced at his phone's navigation: "He's in Guzhuang? I... I still don't understand what you mean."

According to Yang Wudao's records, physiognomy is not just about face-to-face physiognomy. When one reaches a certain stage, one can sense the other person's experiences by relying on their appearance in memory.

Meng Chao said, "I still don't understand."

I said, "It's like playing a game. Now I've leveled up. Once I've met someone and they leave a deep impression on me, I can see what happens to them afterward."

"That's...that's..."

“It’s nothing, I’m completely baffled! But I just saw him—he’s still driving! He’s on the national highway, and he just… just passed Guzhuang!”

I shook my head vigorously. "Don't ask me anymore, I really can't explain it! Just follow the navigation and drive!"

The language of divination is so magical that I naturally memorized every single word.

But the message Yang Wudao left behind was far too concise. 'One meeting reveals three days' worth; a second meeting reveals three months' worth; three glances reveal half a year's worth…'

Meng Chao couldn't help but ask me, "How did you 'level up'? And you even have internal energy cultivation techniques?"

"Just drive carefully!"

Pidan casually retorted, then turned to ask, "You only said half of your WeChat message and didn't reply. What's going on with Zhu Wanlin... Zhu Wanqi?"

I leaned against her and gave her a rough account of Zhu Wanqi's situation, then sighed:

"Actually, it's just seeing our mother in a mirage and using her as a memory. But it's just an excuse. In the end, I still want to 'go ashore,' get married, have a child, live a peaceful life, and not be discriminated against by foreigners."

"We still can't give our mom to him!" Pidan patted the back of the driver's seat. "I know how to level up now, it's just that I've gained more experience and my brain is starting to work better!"

Meng Chao said "Oh," and nodded, "Now I understand. It turns out that the more you experience, the more you see."

"Brilliant!"

I truly looked at him with admiration.

Meng Chao changed the subject: "I'll definitely take you to meet 'Wang Sicong' sometime, but it can't be when he's with a girl. It has to be when he's all serious and talking about business... Oh right, wouldn't it be better to see his dad? His dad can afford anything except cut cakes!"

Guzhuang belongs to the city I live in, but it's diagonally opposite to Sanfen Street.

I did indeed 'upgrade', whatever the reason, I seem to have shared Liu Hong's vision.

I'm sure I haven't traveled this national highway, but I clearly remember seeing a road sign for Guzhuang.

I rolled my eyes and looked out the car window: "Turn right ahead!"

Meng Chao turned the steering wheel, but with a 'click', it came to a stop.

Century Egg asked, "What's wrong?"

"What else could it be? The chassis is low, the car is old, it's stuck!"

I took off my coat while clicking my tongue and draped it over her shoulders. "I know it's impossible to leave you in the car, so wrap yourself up properly."

"Hey, aren't you cold?"

"It's not cold at all!"

As I stepped out of the car, I shook my arms, and the white fish jade pendant on my chest immediately began to transmit a sensory input.

In an instant, not only did I no longer feel the cold, but everything in sight became as clear as if it were seen through a curtain of water, blocking out the dust.

“I’m sorry, it was selfish of me.” I said to Pidan, “I don’t want you to have any entanglements with other men in your next life… I didn’t want Zhu Wanlin’s ghostly life, but I didn’t want to lose money either… I took his water ghost’s power.”

"Idiot, do you think I want to have entanglements with other men?"

Pizi glanced at me, took my hand, but then pulled it back as if she'd been electrocuted.

"Why is it so cold?"

"I'm practically a water ghost right now; I'm not afraid of the cold."

Meng Chao approached, glanced back, and said in a deep, muffled voice:

"Does he really have to drive this piece of junk? If he were driving his old minivan, things wouldn't be like this!"

"Stop talking nonsense! Take the bus!" I strode forward.

God is really biased; all the rain and snow this year fell in the south.

Meng Chao and Pi Dan were trudging through the sleet as evening approached, it was truly a miserable experience!
"Damn, it's raining heavily! Sanqi, shouldn't we...?"

Meng Chao was only halfway through his sentence when he took off his down jacket and put it on Pi Dan's head.

"On the way back today, I suddenly realized something—what God gives you is God's gift, but how you manage it is up to you... I originally wanted to kill Zhu Wanlin and his gang, but... but I don't want to die, and I don't want the people I love to die. I'm not close to Liu Hong, but... well, let's just consider it accumulating good fortune! For my grandfather, for Pidan."

"Why...why are you breathing bubbles?"

"Zhu Wanlin was a water ghost, he drowned in the sea. Seawater... seawater is so damn salty."
