False evidence

Chapter 413 Bells
I finally understand why I felt his eyes were familiar the moment I saw him.

I have to face reality.

The Gu Haitao in Tong Xiangnan's house is actually Luo Yinsheng; and the Luo Yinsheng in front of you is actually Gu Haitao!

One is a wealthy businessman who has lost his capacity for civil conduct, and the other is a college student. The two of them have actually switched places!

It sounds like a fantasy, but the facts are undeniable, leaving me no choice but to believe it.

You know, when I showed Luo Yinsheng my cards just now, the one he pointed to was the 9 of Diamonds...

After playing a few more rounds, Zhang Xueli asked Luo Yinsheng, "Dad, are you tired?"

How could I not hear the tactful meaning in her words?

"Okay, okay, I'm done playing."

Old Zhan put down his cards, said a few more words to Luo Yinsheng, and then took his leave.

I deliberately lagged behind, and as I was about to leave, I turned back to look at Luo Yinsheng.

I saw him extend his left hand, wiggle his fingers slightly twice, then curl his thumb and forefinger, while quickly winking at me.

I couldn't help but curse inwardly, "You son of a bitch, you're really getting the better of you right now!"

Of course, I didn't think he was saying "OK" to me.

Last year I saved his sister's life, and his family asked him to give me 5,000 yuan as a thank you. That bastard withheld 2,000 yuan and only gave me 3,000 yuan.

He's sending me another signal!
As I left the sanatorium, a luxury Mercedes-Benz drove past me.

“That’s Yinsheng’s car,” Old Zhan said. “His son should be in the car.”

Instead of slowing down, Old Zhan drove straight out of the sanatorium, made two turns, and parked the car on the side of the road.

He turned to look at me: "Who are you people?"

“I really am Tong Xiangnan’s nephew.”

At this moment, Lao Zhan was completely different from before. After hearing my answer, he immediately made a car Bluetooth call.

"Hey, Xiang Nan. Is this Sanqi really your nephew?"

"Yes," came Tong Xiangnan's reply from the loudspeaker. "You saw Luo Yinsheng?"

Old Zhan said, "I saw him, and he was acting very strange. I'm coming to find you now!"

Upon arriving at Tong Xiangnan's house, as soon as we entered the living room, Old Zhan pointed at me and asked Tong Xiangnan:

"When did you get a nephew? Why do you need your nephew to meet Luo Yinsheng?"

Tong Xiangnan glanced at me, pressed Lao Zhan's hand down, and said:
"I've reminded you many times that your dual personality is not good."

Then he asked me, "How is Luo Yinsheng now?"

Seeing me glance at James, he seemed thoughtful and said, "It seems the situation is more serious than I thought. Don't worry too much, James will listen to anything you can tell me."

Old James had been wearing a gloomy face since he left the nursing home, but his expression softened slightly upon hearing this.

I thought to myself: The psychologist is really something else; he can effectively soothe other person's emotions with just one sentence.

I said to Lao Zhan, "I want to know, how did you realize that Luo Yinsheng was acting strangely?"

"His card-playing style is completely wrong!"

Old Zhan took off his coat, tossed it onto the sofa, strode over to the wine cabinet, took out an opened bottle of red wine, uncorked it, and gulped it down like someone who was extremely thirsty.

Tong Xiangnan shrugged and said to me, "See? This is a classic case of split personality."

"Hey! Stop bringing up your major, okay?"

Old Zhan slammed the bottle on the table. "You're my buddy, and Yinsheng is my friend too. Now that he's in trouble, I'm really worried!"

"I can tell." Tong Xiangnan curled his lip. "You know where the toilet is."

Before Lao Zhan could speak, he pointed to the bottle and said, "I opened this bottle before I went to jail. It wasn't sealed properly and it's spoiled. I like this bottle, so I diluted it with water and used it as decoration."

"Well……"

Seeing Lao Zhan rush into the bathroom, Tong Xiangnan said to me, "What I just said is true, Lao Zhan is my best buddy."

I nodded, and when Lao Zhan came out, I couldn't help but ask again, "Just by playing cards, you could tell someone was suspicious?"

Old Zhan wiped his mouth and said, "Playing cards, like playing chess, best reveals a person's character. Luo Yinsheng has always been bold and shrewd, but the way he played these hands today... he played so petty... that's definitely not his style!" "Just because of that?"

"It's all because of you!"

Old Zhan casually pulled open a drawer on the coffee table, skillfully took out a new deck of cards, unpacked it, laid it face down, randomly pulled out four cards, and slammed them heavily onto the table.

He glared at me with his bull-like eyes and said, "Your uncle is notoriously stingy, but I don't believe he would let his nephew cheat against someone who can't even take care of himself, just for revenge!"

Looking at those four cards, I was speechless for a moment.

Three 6s, one—a 9 of diamonds…

"Oh, your Uncle Zhan was a gambler when he was young. His first love broke up with him because of it. Later he reformed, oh no, he quit gambling. But that woman's son is already old enough to run errands."

Tong Xiangnan adjusted his glasses, sat down on the single sofa opposite Lao Zhan, and gestured with his chin towards me, "What's the situation with Luo Yinsheng? Um... tell me first, is he still thinking clearly?"

"Wake up, absolutely wake up!" Old Zhan slapped his thigh. "His card playing style is really meticulous, meticulously stingy, meticulously infuriating! I even suspect that it's a woman disguised as him playing with us!"

Tong Xiangnan frowned: "Could you please not interrupt me?"

"Alright, alright, you can talk."

Seeing his sullen expression, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After I finished recounting my meeting with Luo Yinsheng, Tong Xiangnan looked at me without saying a word.

I could only say, "His movements are restricted, and he cannot speak, but his mind is indeed very clear. However, he is not Luo Yinsheng himself."

"Not the person in question?" Tong Xiangnan straightened his body slightly.

I pointed to Gu Haitao, who was lying on the sofa like a corpse.

Tong Xiangnan reacted quickly, his eyes widening suddenly. "You're sure that's what happened?"

I nodded.

"Oh shit!"

Tong Xiangnan adjusted his glasses, a strange excitement shining in his eyes. "I suddenly feel like I can live for decades to come!"

Upon hearing this, I slapped my left palm with the back of my right hand, "That's it, the inheritance I was about to receive is now a long way off."

LeBron James doesn't actually have a mental illness. Rather, when he's focused on something, he'll show hidden impulsive emotions in front of people he trusts.

He had been holding back his words, but finally couldn't help but ask loudly, "What kind of riddle are you playing?"

"Shh!"

Tong Xiangnan gestured for him to be quiet and looked up at his watch.

"Ding dong!"

As soon as the doorbell rang, Tong Xiangnan waved to me.

I've gotten to know him really well lately, and I'm used to him bossing me around, so I quickly ran to open the door.

It was takeout.

Moreover, it was three deliverymen who delivered the goods to my door at the same time.

I asked Erpang to help me carry my things into the house. Tong Xiangnan pointed to the dining table and gestured to us.

As Erpang unpacked the takeout according to the instructions, he whispered to me:
"I feel like your uncle is more like a lunatic than the psychologists on TV?"

"He's not only a psychopath, he can turn people into psychopaths!"

I opened a large cardboard box, and it turned out to be an outdated style of cream birthday cake.

"clang!"

"clang!"

……

The sudden ringing of the bell silenced everyone.

The antique grandfather clock, as its pendulum swung, struck twelve times in a row.

When the last bell rang, Gu Haitao, who had been fast asleep, suddenly sat up!
