False evidence

Chapter 357 Searching for the Corpse
After the two entered, they were affectionate for a while, then the man put one arm around the woman's waist and said softly:

"I want to make our relationship public."

The woman said urgently, "No! You've only been here for three months. If your boss finds out you transferred here because of personal feelings, he'll definitely have a bad opinion of you. That wouldn't be good."

“We’ve been together for over a year now, and I really want to…”

"Don't think about anything bad!"

"Hehe, which one of us is thinking the wrong thing? I mean, let's make our relationship public and get our marriage certificate as soon as possible. Then we'll be a legally married couple. But if you want to do anything, I can help you."

"Hate!"

The woman stroked the man's stubble with two fingers and said affectionately, "Wang Lei, I'm really surprised and touched that you transferred from the big city to this remote and impoverished place for me."

I love you, so much. I want to be with you soon too. But let's not make our relationship public yet, otherwise it will definitely affect your work. By the way, I have to go on a business trip next month, the exact dates are still undecided. Also, there's something else important I need to take care of.

The man asked, "What's the big deal?"

The woman's eyes sparkled with playfulness: "I won't tell you. Anyway, it's definitely a big deal for both of us."

……

"Xiaohua..."

Officer Wang suddenly shouted in a trembling voice, broke free from my hand, and stepped forward with his arms outstretched.

It seemed he wanted to embrace the woman, but the moment his arms closed, she vanished, and the room returned to its original dilapidated state.

"Xiaohua! Xiaohua!"

Officer Wang lost his composure and shouted loudly.

Erpang asked, "Who is Xiaohua?"

I said, "It's his girlfriend. This room used to belong to Xiaohua."

Officer Wang suddenly looked at me: "Just now... you saw it too? Why did that happen?"

"I can only tell you that I witnessed Qin Shengming kill someone under those circumstances. He only drugged Han Shuiling; she was still alive when she was shoved under the bathtub."

Officer Wang didn't ask for the reason; he just grabbed his hair, his face full of sorrow.

"Xiaohua said she had to go on a business trip and that she had something important to do. But after she left that time, she never came back. I've been looking for her for twenty years, but I still can't find her."

I glanced at the mirror and saw that the woman was still reflected in the blood-stained surface.

She was looking at Officer Wang, her expression equally pained.

"Xiaohua should be dead."

"You fart!"

Officer Wang grabbed me by the collar, "She must still be alive!"

All I can do is sigh.

Officer Wang exclaimed excitedly, "She may have found a new lover. She might be in some city now, married with children, and living a happy life... In any case, she must still be alive!"

I took a deep breath. "Some things are hard to accept, but people have to face reality. Right now, my girlfriend is being held by you, so I don't have time to talk to you anymore, and I can't take care of your feelings."

I looked in the mirror again: "If you want to know Xiaohua's whereabouts, you'd better cooperate with me."

Officer Wang subconsciously followed my gaze to the mirror, but it was clear that he couldn't see what I was seeing.

One reason I said Xiaohua was dead was because I saw her in the mirror; another reason was that the quack doctor said before he left that there were two dead ghosts in this building.

Han Shuiling's pregnancy has just become visible, and the fetus in her womb has no intelligence and cannot be considered a child.

Therefore, Xiaohua is very likely another person who died here.

I said to Officer Wang, "Tell me Xiaohua's full name, and it would be best if you could also tell me her birth date and time."

Lin Xiaohua was born on April 5, 1977.

I told Yan Fengwei and Erpang to go out first and tell Officer Wang that I would use a special method to take him back to the past.

However, what we see are all things that have already happened. We can see them, but we cannot change them. And once we try to interact with the people and things from that time, we are back to reality.

Don't let go of my hand.

I said one last thing, took his hand, and looked at the person in the mirror.

The situation in the room changed again. It was still a man and a woman, but the man was no longer Officer Wang from his younger days; instead, it was Qin Shengming.

Lin Xiaohua said, "Brother, I have something to tell you. I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, and it'll be for a week. Officer Wang will be coming over to change his dressings these next few days. You'll have to put in a good effort and make sure he gets it done properly."

Qin Shengming seemed a little absent-minded and casually asked, "Which Officer Wang?"

"It's the one I brought last time, the one with the broken right arm."

"Oh, I remembered it."

As Lin Xiaohua packed her luggage, she smiled and said to Qin Shengming:
"I won't hide it from you anymore. He's actually my boyfriend. I met him when I was working in X city, and we've been dating for a year and a half. I came back here because I couldn't bear to leave my grandma. That silly guy even applied to transfer here too."

Sigh, if a man can go to such lengths, I'm sticking with him for life. By the way, I just wanted to tell you, but don't tell anyone else, okay? If his boss finds out he was transferred for personal reasons, it won't look good for him.

Qin Shengming suddenly said, "Grandma told me."

"What did you say?"

"About the house," Qin Shengming said, his eyes slightly unfocused. "I'll get the old house she's living in now, and this building is yours."

"Hey, the old lady just loves to overthink things. She's got the health she needs, and she's got plenty of work to do." Qin Shengming sneered, "Ha, now that you're back from your business trip, does she have to transfer the house to you?"

Lin Xiaohua's smile faded, and she turned around, saying, "Ming-ge, since you already know, I won't hide it from you anymore. Grandma's way of dividing things is a bit biased. But you also know how Auntie treated her before."

My mom has always taken care of her. After my mom passed away, I quit my job and went back to my hometown to take care of my grandma. When I came back last year, I said I wanted to live with her, but she insisted that I live here..."

"I had already decided to give this building to you."

Lin Xiaohua said, "Brother, let's not talk about the past. Let's talk about this house. It's what my mother and I deserve. Don't worry, after the transfer of ownership, you can still open a clinic on the first floor, and you can still live on the second floor. Anyway, I'm all alone... even with Wang Lei, I can't fit everyone in. If you still feel like you're losing out, I'll give you another 30,000 yuan."

Qin Shengming shook his head: "Don't talk nonsense. How could I take your money? You're right, my mother never took care of Grandma. Ha, I don't know if they had a grudge in their past lives, anyway, they just can't stand each other. Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Hey! My hands are cracked, can I use your face cream?" Qin Shengming suddenly said.

Lin Xiaohua turned around to get the face cream from the table.

Qin Shengming suddenly reached for her waist with one hand and grabbed her hair with the other, slamming her hard against the mirror on the wall.

The mirror was cracked from the impact, and the belt was already wrapped around Lin Xiaohua's neck, whose forehead was bleeding.

Qin Shengming gripped both ends of the belt, turned around, and pressed himself against Lin Xiaohua's back, his face contorted like a demon:
"You're my cousin, how can I take your money? I want the house!"

Lin Xiaohua was much shorter than him and was half-conscious from the impact. He grabbed her and lifted her up, her feet off the ground. She struggled desperately but couldn't escape...

"I'll fuck you! Let her go! Let her go..."

Officer Wang disregarded my warning and pushed me away, lunging at me...

Back in reality, Officer Wang was still in a semi-mad state.

Erpang wanted to come in, but Yan Fengwei stopped him.

Officer Wang grabbed me again, staring at me with bloodshot eyes, his jaw clenching, but he couldn't utter a single word.

"I've said it before, what's done is done and cannot be changed."

Officer Wang glared at me again, then let go of me, staggered to the wall, and started banging his head against it while crying silently.

After a while, he suddenly straightened up and was about to walk out.

"Wait a moment!"

I stared at the mirror on the wall, where Officer Wang's blood was still visible, and Lin Xiaohua was still reflected in the mirror.

Officer Wang returned, choking back tears, and said, "I...I'll go back and release your girlfriend right away..."

I waved my hand and stared at the mirror, saying, "The crack in this mirror was caused by Lin Xiaohua hitting it. She injured her forehead at the time. Could there be some of her blood in the crack?"

"meeting!"

Officer Wang took out his phone.

I stopped him. "Calm down. Even if the bloodstains are tested, it won't prove anything."

I'm telling the truth; nobody knows for sure how the mirror cracked. Officer Wang might cut his hand, and so might Lin Xiaohua.

Officer Wang is not Gao He, but I know this very well, because everything Xiang Yu saw was just evidence of falsehood.

I beckoned Yan Fengwei and Erpang in and told them that a murder had occurred in this room before.

I said to Officer Wang, "Because Lin Xiaohua told Qin Shengming about her relationship with you, Qin Shengming recognized you the moment he saw you. He pretended not to recognize you at first, but then he blurted out 'Officer Wang,' which was a mistake on his part. This shows that he has something to hide."

Officer Wang was still somewhat dazed: "Was what I saw the truth?"

I said, "After twenty years, finding the remains is a fact; otherwise, it's just empty talk."

I turned to Yan Fengwei: "Brother Yan, if it were you, how would you dispose of the body?"

"Damn, I can hide things, but I've never killed anyone."

Erpang did offer a few hypotheses, but those were just scenes from movies where corpses were hidden.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a soft, feminine voice suddenly echoed in my mind:

“Speaking of hiding corpses, our family does have a method.”

"Eunuch Sun!" I blurted out in surprise.

This guy is still conscious!

"What eunuch?" Officer Wang asked.

I shook my head, and in a flash, asked, "How do you hide it? Where do you hide it?"

Eunuch Sun replied, "Hmm... do you still remember how we met?"

"We met at Consort Li's tomb."

"Hmm... If it weren't for a coincidence, would you have known that our family was in the tomb?"

"What do you mean?"

“Yueying has been arrested by the officials, and I’m very worried. You don’t know, when officials decide ten paths, the first one is torture! I’m really afraid she won’t be able to withstand it. So I also want to find out the truth as soon as possible! I’ve also been thinking about what will happen to the remains of the murdered people.”

"Tell the important point!"

"Oh dear, we've already said that!"

Eunuch Sun seemed genuinely anxious. "Let me put it this way," he said, "if you leave your own belongings in someone else's house, the officials will find nothing when they search your own home. Who would think to search other people's houses then?"
