False evidence

Chapter 319 Hotel
When the butcher woke up the next day, he thought back to what had happened the night before and assumed that he had drunk too much and had misheard.

How could a pig possibly speak human language?

The pig, though its tongue had been cut out and its mouth was full of blood, was still alive. The butcher grew increasingly annoyed and simply slaughtered it in the street.

Wu Ruyi had studied Taoism before, and after hearing the butcher's words, he understood immediately—this pig with only one eye was the reincarnation of Qin Hui, the treacherous minister who killed Yue Fei!

Meng Chao said, "Qin Hui was indeed a bad guy, but modern people also know that it was Emperor Gaozong who really wanted to kill Yue Fei."

Yan Fengwei nodded: "Yue Fei was determined to bring back Emperors Huizong and Qinzong. One of them was Emperor Gaozong Zhao Gou's biological father, and the other was his uncle. If they really came back, Zhao Gou would not be able to remain emperor."

Xiao Shen San said, "A treacherous minister is a treacherous minister. I reckon that after Qin Hui died, his soul dissipated and turned into a demon."

I nodded: "He too was haunted by his obsession. More than four hundred years later, he also became a living monster and was reincarnated. But he committed too many evils in his previous life, so he was reborn into the animal realm, where he will still suffer the torment of being cut into a thousand pieces."

Meng Chao suddenly had a brilliant idea: "That lamb is a living demon. Can you guess which vicious person or villain it might be reincarnated as? Why don't we go back and shave its wool and see if there are any words on its belly?"

Yan Fengwei was actually quite mature and steady. He told me not to mess around, and then said to me:
“Your sister-in-law and I both hope that Pidan is safe and sound, but finding the remains of the Emperor within a month is really unrealistic. You should call Gao He again and find Pidan as soon as possible, then we can think of something else.”

I remained silent for a moment, and just as I was about to speak, Xiao Shen San said:
"Stop talking nonsense. If there's any news, Zelin and I will set off together immediately. I'll call Sister Ya Yun later and ask her to ask my eldest and second brothers if they have any clues about the remains of the Emperor."

The next morning, Gao called to say that he had found out that Pidan and his mother had initially taken a bus to Heqian Town, but there was no record of them staying overnight that day.

He sighed: "Xiao Fan must have heard about Liang Kaiyuan from you. She just went to Heqian Town to take a look and didn't stay for long. The local public transportation is very unregulated, and the traffic management system can't find any records of the mother and daughter taking the bus."

"Thanks anyway."

I understand Gao He's predicament. He cares about preserved eggs, but it's impossible for him to use public resources for a large-scale investigation.

Not long after we hung up, Liu Hong called back, saying that he had already set off last night to meet someone and confirm some things. He asked us to set off as soon as possible to meet him in Nanjing.

I didn't dare to delay, and just then Yan Fengwei arrived. The two of them were about to leave with the three-legged sheep when they bumped into Xiao Shensan and Lu Zelin.

Accompanying the two was an unfamiliar man.

The man was about thirty years old and had a fairly decent appearance, but he wore a pair of old-fashioned small round sunglasses on his nose, which made him look a bit comical and unserious.

Xiao Shen San said excitedly, "I've found you a helper! He can definitely help you find the remains of the Emperor Ling!"

I asked, "And who is this?"

The man merely snorted, his expression carrying a hint of arrogance.

Xiao Shen scoffed, "He's Blind Liu, he specializes in feng shui!"

A thought struck me, and I extended my right hand to the blind man, Liu: "Hello, my name is Sanqi."

Only then did Blind Liu lower his guard and shake my hand symbolically:

"Liu Bing, you can call me Master Liu, or you can call me Feng Shui Liu."

Xiao Shen chuckled: "We're already on the same side, so stop with the pretense."

Xiao Shen said to me, "It's quite a coincidence. The blind man just happened to come looking for me. He hasn't had anything to do lately, so I'll have him and Zelin go with you."

I told them that Liu Honggang had called and asked us to go to Nanjing first.

Liu the Blind Man raised an eyebrow behind his sunglasses: "The salted duck in Nanjing is quite good."

As Xiao Shen followed me out, he whispered to me:
“You know my current health; I can’t be of much help if I go. It just so happens that Blind Liu was kicked out of his house by his wife and has nowhere to go. Don’t let his boastful attitude fool you; he’s got real skills. With him and Zelin along, we can definitely achieve twice the results with half the effort!” Meng Chao and Monkey originally wanted to go too, but I refused.

Firstly, sending too many people might not be useful, and secondly, the monkey still needs to make a living. Meng Chao has already started school, and in two or three months, he will have his graduation assessment. I really don't want him to be distracted at this time.

As evening approached, the car exited the highway.

When we contacted Liu Hong, he said he had found the person we were looking for, but we needed to rely on the other party's help to prepare some necessary items. He told us to find a hotel to stay in on our own first.

Just then, a sudden downpour began. The rain was so heavy that even with the wipers on full blast, you couldn't see the road.

"It's spoiled!"

Yan Fengwei hurriedly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

As soon as it pulled up to the side of the road, the car shook twice and stalled, and it wouldn't start again.

Yan Fengwei wiped his bald head and said, slightly out of breath, "The car broke down."

All I could say was, "It shouldn't be anything serious. Let's check it out after the rain stops."

Liu the Blind, who hadn't said much the whole way, said:
"This rain isn't going to stop today."

I checked the weather on my phone, and sure enough, as he said, there would be severe convective rainfall within twelve hours.

Yan Fengwei slapped the steering wheel and gritted his teeth, saying, "It's all my fault. I've been busy taking care of your sister-in-law lately and haven't had time to maintain the car."

I'm speechless.

The clinic's van was spacious, but in poor condition and couldn't go far. Liang Yuan's car was a bit cramped. So we decided to drive Yan Fengwei's SUV, but things didn't go so smoothly; it broke down during a downpour.

I rolled down the car window a crack, and rainwater immediately swarmed in. I had no choice but to close the window again and put the cigarette back in the pack. "I can only hope the rain will let up so I can go out and check again. If all else fails, I'll just have to spend the night in the car."

"That's not necessarily true. Look ahead," Liu the Blind Man said, pointing diagonally forward.

Lu Zelin stared wide-eyed in the direction he was pointing and muttered, "Mom...hotel, Mom hotel?"

"I'll do it again..."

Despite being upset, I still managed to make him laugh.

One of his characteristics is that most people squint when they can't see things clearly, but he does the opposite; the more carefully he looks at something, the wider his eyes become.

Furthermore, I also saw the spot that Blind Liu was pointing to.

It was a three-story self-built building by the national highway. On the exterior wall between the first and second floors, there were four red characters.

At first glance, there is a hotel in the back and the words "woman" and "horse" in the front.

But if you look closely, you'll notice that the character '女' has traces of the roof radical, and the character '马' is missing two dots on the left.

"Pfft... It's the Anfeng Hotel!"

Liu the Blind couldn't help but burst into laughter, patting Lu Zelin on the shoulder and saying, "I admire your courage to recite!"
