False evidence

Chapter 324 Fake Zoo

This weasel is about the size of a puppy, with golden fur all over, except for its white muzzle and the tip of its tail.

He just squatted on top of the coffin, his little eyes flashing with a fierce light, baring his teeth and staring at me menacingly!
Looking into its bright green eyes, I suddenly had a strange feeling. Its eyes didn't look like those of a weasel, but rather like those of a human!

My intuition tells me that this weasel is not a good thing. If Bai Jing were here, she might be able to control it, but I don't know how to deal with this thing.

In the blink of an eye, the big yellow weasel suddenly sprang up and lunged at my face.

I hurriedly swung my broom to fight back, but unexpectedly, the weasel twisted its body in mid-air and pounced on An Xin instead.

I didn't have time to save her; all I could do was yell for Anxin to squat down.

But Anxin wasn't as bold as Pidan, and didn't react at all.

Just as the weasel was about to pounce on her face, suddenly, a dark shadow darted out from the side, collided with the weasel in mid-air, and forcefully pushed the weasel away!
The dark figure didn't land. Instead, the instant it separated from the weasel, it kicked off the weasel and then leaped onto my head.

I didn't dodge, because I had already seen clearly that the one that knocked the weasel away was actually a small macaque!

This monkey was probably not even an adult yet, only about a foot tall. It looked like an 'ally' who had come specifically to help.

Then look at the weasel; after landing, it flipped over and, under the cover of the swarm of rats, quickly disappeared from sight.

I thought to myself, this is really weird. First, the ants 'turned' into human shapes, and then hordes of rats entered my house.

The weasel, which was originally meant to eat rats, had become the de facto leader of the rat swarm.

Now there's another little monkey, perched on my head, one paw holding my forehead, the other tugging at a tuft of my hair...

This isn't a hotel, it's like entering a zoo, albeit a knock-off one.

An Xin, still shaken, stared at the top of my head, her eyes wide: "Goudan!"

"What dog egg?"

An Xin shook her head: "It's so small, if it's not Gou Dan, could it be... Gou Dan's child?"

I found it really difficult to talk to her, so I simply stopped asking and just focused on how to deal with the rats in the house.

Just then, two loud "snap" sounds came from one side. The sound wasn't too loud, but it was enough to be heard in every corner of the first floor.

Strangely, at the same time as the two explosions occurred, the rats scurrying about on the ground seemed to be greatly frightened, and they rushed towards the back door as if fleeing for their lives, disappearing in an instant!

At this point, I no longer felt fear, but only disbelief.

I couldn't understand why Blind Liu said this place was a graveyard, but there were just too many strange things that happened in the hotel that night.

Rats, when they reach a certain number, leave behind an unpleasant odor wherever they go.

However, I seemed to smell a faint, refreshing scent in the air.

An Xin clearly smelled it too, and as if remembering something, she took two steps to the side, "It's a paper doll!"

I went over and took a closer look, and immediately understood what had caused the cracking sound that had just dispersed the rats.

An Xin's family hid outside. In the mourning hall, besides the corpse in the coffin, there were only two paper figures kneeling in mourning clothes.

By now, the paper figure of the child had been chewed up beyond recognition by the rats, and the larger paper figure had a hole torn in its front.

Looking through the hole, you can see two torn pieces of rubber inside.

It's easy to tell from their appearance that they were originally two inflated balloons that exploded after being touched by the sharp teeth of a rat.

The smell that filled the air must have come from the burst balloon. With the rats scattered, An Xin finally 'came back to her senses,' slightly out of breath, and said:
"The balloon is from the letter your uncle left for you. He asked me to put it inside the paper figure, and the balloon is filled with the medicine he gave me."

I took a closer sniff: "It's powdered laurel leaves. Rats hate this smell, and... there should be other medicine powder mixed in."

Having a monkey crawling on your head is really uncomfortable and weird.

I tried to pick the baby monkey up, but it wouldn't let go of my hair.

Seeing me struggling with the monkey, An Xin was amused. "It looks exactly like Gou Dan. It must be Gou Dan's son."

"Who is Gou Dan?" I asked again.

An Xin said, "Gou Dan was the monkey raised by my so-called father. He used to be a monkey trainer. When he was arrested, Gou Dan ran to the mountains behind the village and never came back."

"The monkey trainer... the monkey's name is Gou Dan..."

I couldn't fight city hall, so I finally took the monkey off. "It doesn't have a penis, it's a little girl."

"That's Gou Dan's daughter!"

"Then let's call her Shufen!"

"What's this mess?"

I said, "Although macaques aren't exactly lovable, it's a fact that it just saved you. So let's give it a name. You said it's Gou Dan's child, so if it's a son, it'll be Er Gou Dan; if it's a daughter, it'll be Shu Fen. Just like 'Gou Dan,' simple and down-to-earth."

Suddenly, Lü Xin exclaimed in his mind, "We've fallen into a trap!"

I was taken aback: "What?"

Lu Xin said, "The Black-Armored General initially intended to harm this family of three. Although the rat swarm later appeared in large numbers, it was only controlled by poison and was not aggressive. The other side wouldn't send a bunch of rats to destroy the house. In my opinion, it was a feint. The key is still that weasel!"

Speaking of weasels, Lü Xin gritted his teeth.

No wonder, he seems to have been killed by the 'Thirteen Sons of the Huang Family' in a formation.

"A feint to the east while attacking the west?" The first thing that came to my mind was the mother and son under the eaves of the backyard.

But when they went outside to check, they found the two of them embracing and still fast asleep.

Tonight, Lü Xin spoke less than Liang Kaiyuan, but at this moment he seemed to have just figured something out, and he spoke rapidly, like a machine gun:
"Houses in remote, impoverished areas are worthless; newly widowed women are generally unattractive; An Xin is a young woman with some looks, but the man is her second uncle. If it's not about the property or the woman, then it must be something else!"

"Just say whatever comes to mind."

“This family is not simple,” Lu Xin said. “The eldest son who died was a monkey trainer; the second son can not only control snakes, insects, and rats, but also knows sorcery. I remember that blind man Liu said that this is a grave and this building is a tombstone. Do you think the reason they went to such lengths is because of the ‘burial goods’ in the ‘grave’?”

I was stunned for a moment, but I eventually understood what he meant.

"Even if the black-armored general can't attack people, he can scare the mother and her two children to death; rats don't harm people, but the weasel is the commander-in-chief. A feint to the east while attacking in the west..."

I subconsciously shook my head: "I also think that weasel's gaze was a bit too fierce. When it looked at me, it was like I had some deep-seated grudge against it. But since you said the other side was using a feint, was it necessary for the weasel to show up? Couldn't it have just acted secretly?"

Lu Xin asked, "Do you remember where the weasel appeared?"

I looked at the coffin. "I was crouching above the corpse's head."

"That's right. It doesn't necessarily have to show itself, but it's forced to approach the corpse to obtain the remaining consciousness in the deceased's brain, using the Huang family's intelligence and special abilities. The other party's real purpose should be to obtain something from this building!"
