False evidence

Chapter 386 Veterinarian Rental (Part 2)

The tomboy's expression was very strange when she asked the questions.

The truth is, I find this extremely bizarre.

I asked the couple if they knew Nurse Meng.

When the monkey mentioned Nurse Meng's name, both of them said they didn't know her.

I was completely baffled.

Physiognomy is the ability to visually predict what is about to happen to a person or someone related to them through their facial features.

Neither the couple knew Nurse Meng, so how was I able to see their family affairs through her?
The sound of a dog barking came from behind. The tomboy, holding her son's hand with one hand, pointed towards the back door with the other:
"Veterinarian, could you please help with the delivery?"

I looked at the sky outside and said, "No rush, it's not time yet."

The tomboyish woman found it increasingly strange and asked me, "You really can tell fortunes? You can even predict when the dog will give birth?"

I chuckled awkwardly and shook my head, asking if I could get something to eat first.

The cooked food shop mainly sells Cantonese roast meats. The roast geese and char siu hanging on the walls are glossy and have an enticing aroma that makes your mouth water.

The couple were very hospitable. Qiu Weichi immediately cut half a roast goose, along with some soy sauce chicken and roast pork. The tomboy even went to the restaurant next door to order noodles and rice.

"This roast pork tastes really good! The roast goose is also good, crispy skin and not greasy!" the monkey praised.

I only ate a little bit before putting down my chopsticks.

The tomboy asked me if it wasn't to my taste.

I shook my head.

By this time, I had already discerned much more from the faces of the family of four.

I thought about it and decided to tell the truth:
"I am indeed a veterinarian, and I can also read faces. Meeting you at the hospital was a coincidence. I came here ostensibly to help deliver a dog's puppies, but actually to save a person."

The couple exchanged a glance, and the tomboy asked, "You mean, you could tell that something bad was going to happen to someone in our family?"

I nodded. "Since we knew something bad would happen, then it's alright."

I said to Qiu Weichi, "If I may ask, is your relationship with your mother truly irreconcilable?"

Qiu Weichi sighed, "She divorced my dad when I was six. Later... well, before my dad died, he said she was still my mother and asked me to take care of her in her old age and see her off in her final days. So I really did let her live with us. But Dou Dou, oh, that's my wife, her name is Gong Dou Dou."

When my wife was pregnant with twins, her belly was big and she couldn't move around easily. At that time, she said she was helping out at the shop, but not only did she not do any work or take care of my wife, she also got involved with an old neighbor. Every day, she would give the roast goose, chicken, and meat from the shop to that old man and his family.

My wife couldn't help but say a few words to her, and she actually hit my wife, causing her to go into premature labor with her babies. She and her two children almost didn't make it out of the delivery room! Afterwards, she even said that she wanted to marry that old man and bring him to live in her house...

"Ugh, I really couldn't take it anymore. If this continued, not only would I lose my business, but she'd ruin my whole family. So, I kicked her out and swore to cut ties with her completely."

The monkey shook its head in anger: "He's hopeless."

After the two children finished eating, they both slid off their chairs and said, "Let's go see Big Black!"

"can not go!"

I pulled them back.

The tomboy warily pulled the two children close to her and asked:
"Why can't we go? What exactly do you want?"

I said, "When a dog is giving birth, its temperament becomes very unstable due to physical pain. It might hurt someone."

Before the words were finished, a thunderclap suddenly resounded in the sky. The two children were so frightened that they quickly shrank into their mother's arms.

Soon, a rainstorm began. I looked outside the shop and said to Monkey, "Why don't you call Nurse Meng and ask how Ma Guihua is doing?"

Just as the monkey took out his phone, I glanced at one spot and said, "No need to call."

A sudden thunderstorm struck, and pedestrians on the street hurriedly sought shelter from the rain.

But then they saw a middle-aged woman dressed as a caregiver standing at the door, her face gloomy and her eyes fixed on the shop.

I followed the old woman's gaze and glanced at the tomboy's bulging belly when the old woman suddenly floated in without touching the ground and pounced on the tomboy!
I suddenly stood up, raised my right hand, and slapped the old woman away.

The old woman's expression grew increasingly ferocious as she gritted her teeth and lunged forward again.

Holding my breath, I forced her back once again.

After several repetitions, the old woman turned her attention to me, baring her teeth and claws at me while seemingly roaring and howling at me.

Fang Ling and the monkey also stood up.

Fang Ling stood in front of the tomboy and the two children, and said coldly:
"Ma Guihua, you're already dead, do you still want to bring misfortune upon your children and grandchildren?!"

The old woman was indeed Ma Guihua, the caregiver I had seen at the hospital before, but now she was in a different state of being.

She must have heard Fang Ling's questioning, because she turned to Fang Ling and said something through gritted teeth.

Although we couldn't hear her make a sound, we could tell from her lip movements that she was saying—Don't stop me from being reincarnated!
Fang Ling retorted sharply, "You're not worthy!"

It was only then that I noticed that Tong Jiawen seemed to have returned.

I whispered to Fang Ling, "Don't be so loud, you'll scare the child."

Ma Guihua's ghost was still persistent and lunged at him again as she spoke!

I got really angry and decided I wouldn't let her get away with it this time.

But unexpectedly, just as she was about to pounce on him, she suddenly swayed and drifted sideways, actually bypassing Fang Ling and reaching out to grab the boy!
I didn't expect her to be so cunning. I tried to stop her, but it was too late because Fang Ling was in the way.

Just as she was about to grab the boy, suddenly, a knife came down horizontally, striking her outstretched hand and severing half of her arm!
This time, Ma Guihua let out a scream and retreated hastily back to the doorway.

"I'd like to see who dares to touch my child!" Qiu Weichi shouted, facing the door.

When I saw that he was holding a kitchen knife, I realized what was going on.

Ordinary knives cannot touch ghosts, but some knives are inherently malevolent and can harm ghosts.

For example, the pig-slaughtering knife used in slaughterhouses has a single name: the "Killing Blade." It can kill ghosts!
Qiu Weichi's knife is extremely sharp. Although it is usually used to cut cooked food, it must have been used for many years and has also gained the ability to kill ghosts and demons.

I just don't understand how Qiu Weichi could see Ma Guihua's ghost?

In his mind, Lü Xin explained:

"They say a mother and child are connected at heart. No matter how awful this old lady is, she's still his mother, so he'll have some kind of connection. Besides, he probably hates Ma Guihua intensely and loves his child dearly. So, the moment Ma Guihua tried to hurt the child, he could see her."

Ma Guihua stood there, staring at Qiu Weichi with nothing but malice in her eyes; there was not a trace of maternal affection between them.

She seemed to know that she couldn't achieve her goal, so she glared at me again before disappearing into the distance.

The tomboy hugged her two children tightly and asked tremblingly, "Wei Chi, what happened?"

Qiu Weichi turned around, his expression confused, and said in an uncertain tone:

"I think I just saw that woman."
