The passenger door opened, and Xing Lu's father lifted Li Ping into the car.

He casually threw Li Ping into the back seat, then reached over to close the door on my side.

"Have you been bewitched by someone?"

"No, no..." I was afraid that if he knew the truth, it would expose me to danger.

Xing Lu's father stared at me for a moment, pointing at Li Ping, "Why did you leave him outside?"

"He... he's already dead, there's his tombstone outside."

Li Ping clicked his tongue, "Is it this one?"

He extended his phone to show me a photo.

Upon closer inspection, it was the tombstone we tied Li Ping to, but it had the name "Li Hua" engraved on it, along with the birth and death dates of the tomb's owner, who was ten years older than Li Ping.

"Li Hua?"

"My brother," Li Ping said, "My parents' first child, who looked a lot like me, but he passed away at nineteen, and then I was born."

"Wait, how did I..."

Realization struck me, earlier Liu Dan and Chang Qing showed me two pictures, the first one showing the whole tombstone, but Chang Qing's body blocked the words on it, only revealing Li Hua's photo, the second picture was just a black and white photo of Li Hua.

Later, we tied Li Ping to Li Hua's tomb, in the dim light, I was preoccupied and didn't pay attention to the name on the tombstone, when they pointed it out to me, I only saw the photo on the tombstone, Li Ping's body blocked the inscription.
