False evidence

Chapter 40 Fellow Sect
When the express delivery bag was opened and turned inside out, a phone with a shattered screen fell out, along with more than ten letters.

Gao He's expression hardened: "It's Zhou Dongdong's phone!"

I asked, "Should we take it for testing first?"

"You ask me how deep my love for you is..."

I had just asked a question when the broken screen of my phone suddenly lit up and a deep, elegant ringtone sounded.

Gao and I both saw that the caller ID displayed was labeled as "Photographer".

Gao He decisively said, "Answer! Hands-free!"

The call connected, and a "Hello" immediately came from the other end.

"Hey."

"What's your name?" The other person was a man who sounded very young.

"Sanqi," I asked. "And you?"

"Sun Jing".

I glanced at Gao He instinctively. I had a rough idea of ​​what was inside the package, but I never expected Sun Jing to call me directly.

A burst of laughter suddenly came from the phone. It wasn't as neurotic or malicious as I had imagined. Instead, it felt like the laughter came from the heart, and the person laughing was very cheerful and sunny.

I naturally wouldn't ask the other person such a stupid question as "What are you laughing at?" I just looked at Gao He.

Sun Jing gradually stopped laughing and said, "Don't be nervous. I called you not only to confirm that the phone can be returned to its rightful owner, but also to tell you two other things."

Seeing that Gao He didn't seem inclined to take any action, I said, "Okay, go ahead."

"Don't worry, I won't have any more contact with Zhou Dongdong and Pei Xiaofan."

The other person laughed again: "I know how to distinguish between people. Pei Xiaofan is a good girl, and your aunt is also very nice. I never intended to hurt them."

"Do you think I will believe it?"

"Oh, you mean the car accident?" Sun Jing said calmly. "That was aimed at you. Tong Liru is my mother after all, although—she doesn't know that herself. You hurt her, so I definitely had to teach you a lesson. Sorry for disfiguring you."

"Zhou Dongdong is still alive." I felt a lump in my throat.

Sun Jingdao said, "I was downstairs at the time and saw you save her. I really hate this woman. She stole her best friend's boyfriend and then showed off everywhere. What a piece of trash."

But if I say that I never intended to kill anyone, you still probably won't believe me, right? Actually, from beginning to end, I really didn't kill anyone, right?
Oh, no, Zhou Dongdong is an exception. However, besides my personal strong dislike for her, there's another main reason for my dislike of her.

"You said."

“That’s the second thing I want to tell you, haha…” Sun Jing seemed to enjoy laughing.

However, upon hearing his laughter at this moment, a surge of anger slowly rose and intensified within me.

"Sanqi, right?" Sun Jing smiled and said, "First of all, I must say it's a pleasure to meet you. And then, I'm also very fortunate to have a fellow disciple like you by my side. Knowing that you're here makes me feel much more at peace."

Hehe, at least I know there's another person in this world destined to be alone forever, just like me. Oh, junior brother, don't misunderstand, I'm not gloating. I mean, knowing someone else shares the same fate makes me feel less lonely. I'm genuinely happy.

"What do you mean?" I frowned. "What fellow disciples?"

“Oh, I forgot to tell you. Three years ago… the weather was probably around the same time as now. I had just arrived in this city and met a strange old man. He claimed to be a fortune teller, but the truth is, after meeting him, I experienced several bizarre things.” Sun Jing seemed to sigh. “To make a long story short, I later became that old man’s apprentice and learned physiognomy. If your master is also named Yang Wudao, then aren’t we from the same school?”

He suddenly changed his tone and said, "Listen up, everyone. I knew Zhou Dongdong wouldn't die so soon, but I never expected that the person who saved her would be my junior brother. Heh, but I think after this incident, even if she lives, her future won't be too good. That's enough. This matter is over."

Gao He was visibly angry and finally couldn't help but want to speak, but the other party had already hung up the phone after saying 'It's over'.

The monkey was stunned for a moment, then, realizing what was happening, shoved Gao He: "Are you stupid? Why aren't you doing anything?"

Gao He said in a deep voice, "When Sanqi said she wanted to find her phone, our people had already started tracking Zhou Dongdong's phone."

He exhaled and looked at me, saying, "Fellow disciples?"

I was shocked, exhausted, and filled with an uncontrollable rage.

Gao made a phone call, and soon two plainclothes officers arrived, each putting on gloves, and examined the cell phone and all the mail.

The final conclusion was that, apart from a few sets of fingerprints on the package, my fingerprints were only found on my phone.

The ward was temporarily converted into Gao He's office.

With the assistance of two forensic experts, he first sorted all the letters by date, and then carefully read them one by one.

It wasn't until evening that Gao He took off his gloves and pinched the corners of his eyes hard.

He looked at me and said, "There are twelve letters in total, all written by Tong Liru. I've already read the contents aloud. What are your thoughts?"

I shook my head and pointed to the corner of my mouth, indicating that I couldn't speak.

At this point, I really have no right to speak in front of experts like Gao He.

Pidan couldn't help but say, "It sounds like these are all love letters."

“That’s right. Tong Liru isn’t highly educated and doesn’t use fancy words, but every character is written neatly and carefully. This shows that she cares a lot about the recipient.” Gao He turned to me: “Just like you thought before…”

“It was Tong Xiangnan who guessed it!” I immediately interrupted him.

Perhaps in Gao He's view, my escapism is like burying my head in the sand.

But the truth is, at this moment, not only is my mind in turmoil, but I also feel like my life has been disrupted.

Moreover, this chaos seems to be only just beginning.

I must act decisively to avoid getting bogged down in this mess again.

Gao He said, "Okay, just as Tong Xiangnan said, it turns out that Tong Liru really didn't know that Sun Jing was her son, but was developing a relationship with him... or rather, she thought that she had a different kind of relationship with Sun Jing."

Tong Liru not only suffered severe heartbreak, but also experienced mental health issues. Such a person, when encountering another relationship, will cherish it more than anyone else.

In contrast, Sun Jing may have recognized her identity the first time he saw her.

There could be many reasons for this. Perhaps they heard about their background from others after they were old enough to remember things, or perhaps they secretly went to see Tong Liru but did not acknowledge her.

Or perhaps... whatever the reason, he always knew the true nature of his relationship with Tong Liru.

In doing so, his allowing another false relationship to develop became clearly purposeful.
