False evidence

Chapter 389 Remote Showdown
I've only met Tong Xiangnan a few times, but we've known each other for a long time. Hearing that he has a terminal illness weighed heavily on my heart.

Upon entering the ward, they found Tong Xiangnan leaning against the headboard, his complexion noticeably worse than before. He also had an oxygen tube inserted into his nose.

When he saw me come in, his eyes lit up, he straightened up, and nodded at me: "You're here."

"How are you feeling?" I picked up the medical card at the foot of the bed.

"It's nothing, it's just that I can't use my right hand properly, and my eyesight is getting worse."

Tong Xiangnan picked up a pair of glasses from beside his pillow, put them on, smiled, and pointed to his temples:

"A brain tumor has been detected; it's malignant. It will have a significant impact on your vision."

I put down my medical card and asked, "When is the surgery?"

Tong Xiangnan shook his head: "I have already signed an agreement for 'conservative treatment' only, no surgery."

I frowned slightly: "Are all psychologists this witty?"

Gao He said, "His tumor isn't a single, intact tumor, but rather a diffuse, distributed mass. The doctor said the success rate of surgery is..."

"So you don't have to suffer that pain."

Tong Xiangnan gestured with his chin at me: "How are you doing now? Is your relationship with those two still stable?"

I chuckled dryly: "There are more than two."

"More than two?"

Tong Xiangnan looked at me suspiciously, "Explain yourself clearly, I don't understand what you mean."

I sighed, counted on my fingers, and said:

"To be precise, it's five, or six if you include me."

"impossible!"

Tong Xiangnan waved his hand forcefully, "If that were the case, even if you didn't go insane now, you would still have serious criminal tendencies due to schizophrenia!"

Gao He mumbled, "Of course, his wife called me this morning and said he was going to kill someone."

"Don't interrupt!" Tong Xiangnan glared at me and said, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"

Actually, during this period I have also felt my mind was in a mess from time to time, and I wanted to sort out some personal matters.

When Tong Xiangnan asked, I recounted my previous experiences.

After listening, Tong Xiangnan frowned and remained silent for a long time before finally shaking his head and saying:

“I believe you are telling the truth, but I really can’t imagine what your current situation is like. So, if you agree, I would like to hypnotize you again.”

I said, "I couldn't ask for more."

Tong Xiangnan said to Gao He, "You can be present, even during my hypnosis of Sanqi, and you can ask questions. But you must promise that no one else can come in during this time."

"You had your injection at noon, right?"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Gao locked the ward door from the inside and moved a chair to sit by the door.

"Sanqi, close the curtains."

I walked to the window and drew the curtains.

Tong Xiangnan said, "Make it even tighter, preferably without any gaps."

I glanced back at him and at the same time pulled one side of the curtain further inward.

However, at that moment, the light shining through the crack shone directly onto Tong Xiangnan's face.

Looking at his gloomy and uncertain face, a series of images suddenly flashed through my mind.

"Shh!"

I suddenly pulled back the curtains, opened the window, and quickly looked around.

Soon, two figures were spotted in a corner between the inpatient building and the annex.

It was a man and a woman.

Even from a considerable distance, I was able to recognize the woman at a glance by her clothing.

It's Xie Xiaohuan!

Although I was unfamiliar with the other man, I still managed to identify him through another method.

"Brother Gao! Go and arrest them!"

Gao He noticed something was wrong and quickly walked over. I pointed to the two people downstairs, about to call out the man's name, when suddenly, as if he had noticed me spying, he abruptly raised his hand, pointed in this direction, and looked up at me.

Gao He's eyes narrowed into slits, and after only a few seconds, he exclaimed in a low voice, "It's Sun Jing!" and then rushed out.

As soon as Gao and Cai stepped out, the other person withdrew their hand that was pointing in this direction and made a gesture to their ear.

Immediately afterwards, my phone vibrated.

I answered the phone, still staring intently at the other person.

"Fellow disciple, we meet again."

It really was Sun Jing's voice!

In an instant, the first serial murder case I was involved in after dropping out of school flashed through my mind like a movie.

"Xie Xiaohuan's diary is fake! She's one of yours!"

“That’s right. But her identity is real. She really is a descendant of Lü Xin.”

Sun Jing was probably wearing Bluetooth headphones. He waved and laughed as he spoke, then turned and walked slowly in one direction.

"Getting scared? Trying to leave?" I beckoned behind me.

Tong Xiangnan had already gotten out of bed. The moment I reached out my hand, he handed me his phone, which had dialed Gao He's number.

Just then, on the phone, Sun Jing suddenly shouted angrily:

"Don't forget to turn on speakerphone!"

The voice grew louder and louder: "You think you're righteous? You think I'm evil? You think I'm wicked, that I even dared to kill my own mother? But do you know that I'm not the culprit!"
I'm telling you now, I didn't kill anyone from beginning to end! If there was any crime, it was only severing Tong Liru's Achilles tendon after she hanged herself! The truth is, she had already started killing before I even knew her!

She's always had a mental illness! The kind that can't be cured!

Both phones were on speakerphone and placed side by side on the windowsill.

Watching Sun Jing walk away, waving his hands wildly and roaring, I said in a deep voice:

“Tell the police what you need to say; he’s already waiting for you up ahead.”

"Ha, trying to fool a three-year-old? Sorry, bro, I'm a bit older than you..."

Sun Jing suddenly stopped and gestured to me.

A chill ran through me. "Don't hurt her!"

At this moment, Sun Jing had already reached a narrow opening next to the annex building.

Before I could finish speaking, he suddenly grabbed Xie Xiaohuan's hair, who had been following him all along, and slammed her head hard against the wall!

Once, twice...

"Son of a bitch!"

Lu Xin finally couldn't hold back any longer and let out a loud shout.

I felt my body becoming uncontrollable, and I knew it was because of Lü Xin's emotional outburst. I immediately grabbed the window frame and pulled out my belt with my other hand, trying to tie my hand to the window frame.

However, when Lü Xin saw his granddaughter being harmed, he lost control.

I tried several times, but he struggled and blocked me each time.

"Come here!"

Tong Xiangnan suddenly pinned me against the windowsill from behind and snatched the belt from my hand.

Although he was trembling the whole time, he gritted his teeth and used a leather belt to tie my left hand to the window frame. He then turned his back and tightly slung the end of the belt over his shoulder.

"Release Jie Xiaohuan!" I was so angry I almost glared at Sun Jing, who was still abusing her.

Sun Jing actually stopped, released Jie Xiaohuan's hair, and let her collapse to the ground.

"I've always found it strange. I follow you around almost every day now, but why can't I see through you?"

Through the loudspeaker, Sun Jing's voice sounded doubtful, "Why are you so stupid? Do you really think the law is just? Is it omnipotent?"

"I've already helped you so much, but you're still hopeless. What can I do?"

Sun Jing touched his ear, then kicked Xie Xiaohuan hard on the ground, pointed in this direction again, and shouted:

"I'll make a bet with you now, on whether Captain Gao can catch me!"
