False evidence

Chapter 484 Someone Behind the Wall
Cao Xinyun thought for a moment and said, "The one who brought us back this morning? What a coincidence? Your lover is actually his wife? You didn't know that before?"

I frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I find it disgusting."

At that moment, only Cao Xinyun and I were at the door of the outer room. I glanced at the courtyard walls on both sides, then at the door of the inner room, and was about to go over to check the situation when, in my mind's eye, Lü Xin suddenly laughed and said, "Damn, if I had this ability back then, I would really be... hahaha..."

"What exactly happened?" I was no longer just puzzled; the question marks in my mind were almost reaching the sky.

Previously, I had seen the woman's face through the small grid and used divination to obtain a large amount of unexpected information.

When I regained consciousness at the station in the morning, I went to find the minibus driver. He wasn't bald; he was a middle-aged man surnamed Zhang.

And No. 21, Tanjiaqiao Lane, is the driver's home. The woman from earlier was his wife.

When the small door opened, there was a young man behind the woman; it was obvious what they were doing.

Well, the husband is out driving all night while the wife is at home having a secret rendezvous with her gigolo. That's enough.

But what's going on now? The woman's demeanor and words clearly indicate that she sees me as her husband, and as that Mr. Zhang driver with the green hat.

Lu Xin's ventriloquism skills are indeed quite amazing, but you can't recognize his voice, yet you can still mistake his appearance.
Lu Xin knew what was important and what was urgent, so he didn't say anything more and just smiled and said, "It's because of the Yin power, and... ha, and the divination you learned."

"What does that mean?" I was completely baffled.

"Have you forgotten what ghosts are best at? Bewitching people! Yin power is the ability of ghosts. Now that you possess yin power, you can bewitch people." Lu Xin barely managed to stop laughing. "Of course, even if ordinary people have yin power, they can't do whatever they want. But you studied physiognomy, and your specialty is observing people's appearances. I can't quite explain it, but I roughly think that because of physiognomy, you can control yin power and exert the same ability as ghosts, bewitching people. In that woman's eyes, you are now her husband!"

Lu Xin's explanation was indeed not very clear, but I still roughly understood it.

Because of the strange experience last night, the first thing I did after I woke up was to find the driver, so I have a very deep impression of him.

The other party's home is in Tanjiaqiao Lane, which isn't surprising upon reflection, since Zhu Yunwen, the owner of the minibus route, lives at number 23. It just so happens that the neighbor is a driver, so it's normal for him to work for him.

This further solidified the impression of the driver surnamed Zhang in my mind.

Ghosts have no physical form. Unless they are particularly violent, the most common way for a ghost to harm people is to create illusions to deceive them.

Currently, because Wang Xi is inside the white fish, the water ghost's yin energy can only remain attached to me. When ordinary people are possessed by yin energy, at most they can only experience changes in their senses; they cannot control or use the yin energy as a living person.

Just like Lü Xin said, the physiognomy I learned is about people's appearance and expressions. When I used ventriloquism to imitate the shout of the driver surnamed Zhang, it was a prank. But while imitating the voice, I unconsciously and inevitably thought of the driver's appearance.

Even after the woman opened the door, the image of the driver was still lingering in his mind.

The profound impression of a person's face somehow inexplicably exerted its bewitching power. Just as Lü Xin said, driven by this effect, the woman was bewitched; in her eyes, I was that driver surnamed Zhang! I was her husband!

Once I figured this out, I finally understood why Lü Xin kept laughing, and why his laughter was so mischievous.

Damn!

I am that woman's husband now. If a husband wants to do something with his wife, or even replace the man behind the woman before, it is legal. Afterwards, the woman will most likely not notice anything unusual.

That would be...

I dared not think any further.

I never imagined that the combination of Yin energy and Xiangyu could have such an effect.

Using this skill, I could easily use different identities in other people's eyes to do some illegal things, and even an old policeman like Gao He couldn't do anything to me. This ability... can't necessarily be said to tempt people to do illegal things, but as a man, if I think too much about it or think it's all wrong, it's hard to guarantee that I won't lose control and do some... some immoral things.

For that woman, her husband's sudden return from his night shift ruined her "good time." She was unhappy, definitely unhappy or hadn't had enough fun.

If she's unhappy, she won't give a man a pleasant look.

So she went into the inner room and slammed the door shut.

I composed myself and thought to myself, "Perfect timing. You're back in your room, gritting your teeth and seething with resentment. It saves you from getting in my way."

I gave Cao Xinyun a wink, and the two of us ran to opposite sides and climbed over the courtyard wall.

I don't know what's going on with Cao Xinyun, but what I saw was light coming from the next room, and I could hear people talking and shuffling cards from time to time.

The house next to mine is number 25, the one Cao Xinyun knocked on earlier.

After confirming that everything was correct, I jumped back into the yard, straightened up, and looked up, but Cao Xinyun was nowhere to be seen.

This guy is so unreliable!

I quickly ran to the other side of the courtyard wall and climbed over it.

In my opinion, it's impossible for Cao Xinyun to have slipped into the house or outside silently. In the blink of an eye, he must have discovered something and climbed over the wall to go next door.

But when I climbed up the wall and looked down, I was dumbfounded.

There was indeed a person under the wall, but it wasn't Cao Xinyun.

This is a middle-aged man, or rather, a middle-aged man.

We call him an old man not because he looks old, but because of his clothes and appearance.

He had his hair parted to the side, with most of it sticking up haphazardly, as if he had just woken up. He carried an umbrella with two broken ribs on his shoulder, wore boxer shorts, a long-sleeved thermal shirt, and a jacket over his shoulders.

I looked down, and the other person was looking up. One was perched on the wall, and the other was standing in the yard; they were face to face!
Calling him a middle-aged man isn't just about his current attire, but also because the coat he's wearing is so old and worn that it doesn't look like it belongs to this era at all.

The key point is that it was clearly a gray-black Zhongshan suit!

These days, even if someone gets up in the middle of the night wearing a Zhongshan suit, how old can they be?

This guy, dressed like a big shot.

Most people get up at night because they need to urinate; nobody would go to the yard wall to urinate when they need to get up at night in their own home.

So, the fact that this person was standing under the courtyard wall at this hour, and even deliberately holding an umbrella, really made it a bit hard to figure out what he was up to.

The key point is that I also saw this person last night.

He was the ticket seller who rode on the same minibus as us and got off halfway through the journey!

Even if I mistake one face for another, I would never mistake his Zhongshan suit! It's him!
