False evidence

Chapter 62 Immortal Being (Part 1)
Once the car was on the main road, Bai Jing said, "You seem uninterested in anything. Do you really think I'm exaggerating when I say it concerns your life or death?"

I shook my head: "I believe what you said. But honestly, don't take it personally. You're really not a good storyteller. After all that you just said, I didn't understand what it had to do with the charcoal kiln or the mark on my back."

Bai Jing snorted. "Some things can be explained in a sentence or two, but if that's the case, you'll definitely have more questions. Rather than digging deeper later, it's better to explain it to you clearly all at once."

I was both amused and exasperated, thinking to myself: women really are the epitome of sophistry. Sister, you haven't even gotten to the point!

Bai Jing suddenly frowned, and after a moment, said to me in a questioning tone:

"What do you think will be the final fate of Zhao Boqing's wife?"

"What else could she do? She ran off with Lü Xin!" I said casually.

Bai Jing seemed somewhat surprised: "Why would you think that?"

I chuckled dryly: "You must have read Water Margin, right? Lu Junyi is so powerful, why did his wife fall in love with a lowly servant? It's because powerful people are self-righteous and only care about showing off; while lowly people never forget to fight for their own interests."

Bai Jing laughed too: "I am a woman, but I am older than you and have experienced more than you. You don't need to treat me like a little girl and speak so subtly."

I said, "Okay, sis, if that's how you put it, then let's get straight to the point. Take Zhao Boqing, for example. He's pretty much the same as Lu Junyi. He carries the title of a great hero, but he's just a pretentious jerk! People like that might not necessarily not love their wives, but whenever there are outsiders around, their wives become nothing more than 'decorations'!"

Lu Xin was different. He was skilled, but his cunning was even more ruthless. Let's not even talk about how he endured being beaten by the foreigners; just look at what he said to Zhao Boqing's wife after returning to the carriage… tsk tsk, if you were a woman… no, you seem to be a woman…”

Bai Jing's eyebrows shot up: "What do you mean?"

"Slip of the tongue! Slip of the tongue!"

I waved my hand with a smile, "What I meant was, no matter what kind of woman she is, she only likes thoughtful and considerate men. Lu Xin can even think about other people's wives going to the toilet, but Zhao Boqing, that idiot, just yells at his wife in front of everyone: 'Hey! Stop dawdling like a woman, if you need to pee, just go pee yourself!' Tell me, isn't that just a piece of trash?"
Also, I remember you said at least five times that Lü Xin wasn't short, and was even prettier than most women. There's an old saying, "Comparison is the thief of joy!" He just stood there, compared to those two rough old men, Chen Zudao and Zhao Boqing. Sister, if it were you, who would you prefer?

Bai Jing seemed to think about it very seriously, and then said:

"Just for that reason, it's still a bit unreasonable that Zhao Boqing's wife ran off with him. If she really fell in love with another man just because of that, then the woman herself isn't very good either."

"You can't say that."

I shifted the focus, "I believe that back then, most women were still quite conservative. If a woman went to the toilet and was caught being harassed by a foreigner, she would be absolutely devastated! And her man, on the other hand, just screamed and yelled?"
"Hehe, look at Lü Xin again. After getting beaten up and spending money, the first thing he did was to reassure that woman and give her a sedative! If I were that woman, from the moment he said those words, I'd already given him half my heart!"

Seeing Bai Jing nod, I asked, "Did that woman really run off with Lü Xin later?"

Bai Jing glanced at me sideways: "Meng Chao is a smart aleck, but you're a cunning devil. You've said so much, you're just trying to trick me into telling you something, aren't you?"

She smiled and said, "Actually, when Lu Xin and Zhao Boqing's wives left one after the other, not long after, all the lights on the train went out and the train stopped."

"The two of them just ran away like that?" "No, they came back. Zhao Boqing's wife relieved herself, and Lü Xin really did buy wine and food. The trains didn't resume normal service until the next morning, and the four of them arrived in Guangzhou together."

Bai Jing abruptly changed the subject, "When the train started moving again, there were four fewer people on board."

I finally found it interesting and tried asking, "How many people were with that scoundrel foreign devil?"

“There were only two, the missing one, a train police officer, and a passenger.” Bai Jing looked puzzled. “The train must have malfunctioned at the time; logically, no one should have gotten off then. Lü Xin is a master; let’s assume he killed the two foreigners and the head of the train police officer and disposed of the bodies. The passenger is innocent; how could he have disappeared without a trace?”

I thought for a moment and said, "If you hadn't mentioned the word 'innocent,' I would have really thought that passenger got off halfway and didn't get back on."

"What do you mean? That person doesn't know the foreigner, nor is he a black dog. He really has no connection to him."

I shook my head with a smile: "If Gao He were here, he would definitely have figured out what's going on."

"What do you mean? Are you deliberately trying to put me down?" Bai Jing glared at him.

I put away my smile and said slowly, "If I remember correctly, you were the one who led me to the charcoal kiln."

Bai Jing sighed, "I didn't want to either. I explained this to Gu Haitao very clearly. How was I supposed to know that he wasn't telling you the truth at all? But don't worry, I took care of it. I will definitely save your life."

I shook my head. "Alright, let's get back to the topic we were talking about. You said that woman was beautiful. Beautiful women always attract attention. Let's put it this way, suppose you were Lü Xin, what would you think when you arrived at the scene?"

Before Bai Jing could speak, I quickly said:

"A blond, green-eyed foreigner was blocking the toilet door and harassing women. Those who were afraid would have stayed far away. But there were also those lewd bastards who, not caring about the scale of a funeral, would peek into the toilet! The woman was terrified; she certainly didn't notice. But Lü Xin definitely saw it!"

"Just because of that, Lü Xin killed the spy as well?"

"Don't you think that sometimes, bored bystanders and evildoers are just as hateful? Yes, such people don't directly harm anyone, but they disgust people!"

"Ha, now I finally understand why Gao He helped you so much."

Bai Jing nodded and pointed: "Turn right, drive to the end and you'll get there."

I couldn't help but frown again: "Girl, can't you just tell me what's on your mind? Why all this fuss? Who are you taking me to see..."

I stopped abruptly halfway through my sentence.

Because, without Bai Jing needing to answer, I already knew who she wanted me to meet.
