Chapter 181 Both true and false, false and true

The moment he heard the old voice, Jiang Zheng was obviously stunned.

Not that this voice was very different from the Wenya he imagined.

The point is that this voice sounds... familiar?

what happened? I have heard this female voice, and I seem to hear it often just recently?

Thinking of this, Jiang Zheng felt his hair standing on end for a moment.

Wen Ya is by my side? I still hear her voice so often? Isn't that outrageous?

No, wait, there must be some misunderstanding here. How can there be such a gentle and elegant woman around me?

Although he was extremely confused, Jiang Zheng immediately swallowed his saliva and said in a calm tone:

"Hello, this is the telecommunications business hall. You have been selected as this year's high-quality customer and can participate in our year-end gift pack feedback event."

"..."

It was Jiang Zheng's first time pretending to be a telecommunications staff member, but he obviously didn't pretend to be one.

So much so that after a few seconds of silence, the person over there smiled and said:

"It's you...Mr. Jiang, how come you have time to call me to tease my old lady, haha."

Mr. Jiang? Old woman?

hiss! correct! This voice is... Granny Ye?

The moment he heard what she called him, Jiang Zheng slapped his head sharply.

I suddenly realized where I had heard this voice.

Yes, isn't this Grandma Ye's voice?

Jiang Zheng has been living in the Shen family courtyard recently and meets Granny Ye every day.

It's not that I'm used to hearing this voice, it suddenly feels like déjà vu.

But here comes the question...why is Granny Ye the person on the other end of the phone? Isn't this Wen Ya's phone number?

Could it be said that Granny Ye is Wenya?

Suddenly, this ridiculous idea flashed through Jiang Zheng's mind.

But he immediately threw this thought away because it was completely impossible.

Although Granny Ye is a servant, she is an old man who married with Xia Hua and grew up serving Xia Hua.

There is absolutely no doubt about the identity of such an old servant who has worked in the Xia family and Shen family for at least thirty or forty years.

Unless... this Granny Ye is not herself, but someone else, for example, someone found by Wen Ya and Su Yuchan to pretend to be her.

When thinking of this possibility, Jiang Zheng gritted his teeth secretly, but said in a calm tone:

"Hahaha, we were playing Truth and Dare with our friends, and it happened that I had to prank an elder by calling him, so I chose your number. You don't mind, right?"

"I don't care, why would I care? It's too late for me to be happy that you can think of me, an old woman, haha."

Listening to Granny Ye's kind voice on the other end of the phone, Jiang Zheng's brain started working rapidly and he immediately asked:

"By the way, Granny Ye, didn't your little grandson like to play with fireworks the most? My friend has some here. Do you want to bring some back for you to play with the children?"

The reason why Jiang Zheng asked this question was not a random question. He was testing the authenticity of Granny Ye's identity.

Even if Grandma Ye is replaced by someone else, this fake mother-in-law only knows something about Grandma Ye herself.

Regarding some unfamiliar questions from Grandma Ye’s family, the fake person on the other end of the phone will most likely not be able to answer them.

Moreover, Jiang Zheng specifically tricked this question. What he asked on the surface was "should I bring firecrackers to my little grandson who likes fireworks?"

But in fact, Jiang Zheng knew that Granny Ye’s grandson was very afraid of fireworks and would pee his pants when he heard them explode.

Therefore, whether Grandma Ye answers this question with "Sorry to bother you" or "No need to bother you" is wrong.

At this point, we can probably tell whether Granny Ye is real or fake, and whether she has been impersonated.

However, just after Jiang Zheng said these words, Granny Ye on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then smiled:

"Mr. Jiang, you may have remembered it wrong. The little kid in the old lady's house is most afraid of fireworks. You can't let him play with it."

The reaction is completely correct. It seems that this Granny Ye is most likely genuine.

Hearing this, Jiang Zheng also apologized to Granny Ye, and then said a few words casually before hanging up the phone.

Seeing Jiang Zheng heaving a sigh of relief after hanging up the phone, Xia Linlin sitting next to her also put down her earphones and said to him:

"What the mother-in-law said should be true. Judging from her tone of voice, it doesn't look like she is lying."

Among the complex instruments controlled by Xia Linlin, there is a machine called the "Voice Lie Detection System".

This machine can detect the frequency modulation caused by the micro-jitter of the voice, so as to distinguish whether the person is speaking honestly or not.

Although the success rate of this machine's lie detection is only about 80%, even if you don't rely on this machine, you can just listen with your ears.

You can also hear that the old man on the other end of the phone spoke very sincerely and did not appear to be lying at all.

"Yes." Jiang Zheng also nodded and sighed:

"Grandma Ye doesn't look like she's lying, so what's going on? It's so strange."

If the person on the other end of the phone is really Granny Ye herself, does that mean that Mi'er received a call from Granny Ye on the rooftop at that time?

But if she received a call from Granny Ye, why did she say it was from her mother?

Could it be that Mi'er is lying to me? That's not right, she was indeed talking to Wen Ya at that time.

Although Jiang Zheng didn't fully hear what Mi'er said at the time, judging from the few words she said, it didn't look like she was talking to Granny Ye.

Could it be that Mi'er's acting skills are so great? She was clearly not chatting with Wen Ya at all, she was just acting in front of me to fool me?

When he thought of this possibility, a look of dumbfounding flashed across Jiang Zheng's face.

If Mi'er was really deceiving him and just pretending to be called by her mother, then Jiang Zheng was the one who was deceived.

Originally, he always thought that he had successfully deceived Mi'er on the rooftop, but it would be ridiculous if he was deceived instead.

But if Mi'er is not acting, that is to say, the mastermind behind her is really Granny Ye herself, this situation will be even more magical.

Granny Ye, an old servant who has served Xia Hua and Shen Yunyi for decades, is actually the other party's mole? It's almost impossible.

Seeing Jiang Zheng sitting there, the expression on his face was uncertain, and he looked like his brain was boiling.

After thinking for a while, Xia Linlin suddenly raised the corner of her mouth and smiled at Jiang Zheng:

"By the way, President, we can also use the same method to test Mi'er in reverse."

"Same method? Try it in reverse? What do you mean?"

"I'll change your phone number to Grandma Ye's number, and then use the voice changer to call Mi'er's cell phone to see how she reacts."

"Oh? Yes, that makes sense! Linlin, you are so smart!"

Hearing this, Jiang Zheng couldn't help but reached out and touched Xia Linlin's little head, his tone filled with joy.

If the mysterious person behind Mi'er is really Granny Ye, then Jiang Zheng can easily trick Mi'er into telling the truth by using Granny Ye's "number" and "voice" to call her.

If the mysterious person behind Mi'er is not Granny Ye, then Jiang Zheng can also tell that Mi'er on the rooftop is acting, and he can eliminate a wrong option anyway.

After being touched by Jiang Zheng on the head, Xia Linlin's face turned slightly red and she immediately began to prepare Granny Ye's voice.

These days, voice changers and other technologies are already used by many anchors, so Xia Linlin is naturally more comfortable in using them.

She quickly collected the voice of Jiang Zheng and Grandma Ye through the conversation just now, and input it into the voice changer system.

"It's all done. President, please call us."

"Okay, then I'll fight."

After putting on Granny Ye's voice changer and displaying the number, Jiang Zheng took another deep breath and dialed Mi'er's number this time.    Didu, Didi, Didi.

As the phone was connected again, a voice that sounded a little impatient came out.

"Hello? Granny Ye? What's wrong?"

It was Mi'er. Mi'er seemed to be resting, and her tone sounded a little hoarse.

Jiang Zheng didn't care whether it disturbed her rest, so he immediately asked:

"Mi'er, how did you handle the Jiang Zheng incident I told you last time?"

Jiang Zheng? Hearing this, Mi'er asked in a somewhat puzzled tone:

"What's wrong with Jiang Zheng? Are you helping him tidy up his room? Didn't I just tidy it up this morning?"

"It's not this morning, it's the thing I told you four days ago. It's related to Jiang Zheng."

"Four days ago in the morning. Ah, I remember. Did you ask me to buy some bone and muscle patches when I went back? But what does that have to do with Jiang Zheng?"

I heard that Granny Ye's body and bones are not in good condition and she often needs to wear bone and muscle patches. Occasionally she would ask Mi'er to buy them for her.

From Mi'er's point of view, it was completely normal for her to answer Granny Ye's question like this, and there was nothing to doubt about it.

Moreover, the tone of Mi'er's conversation with Granny Ye was not as respectful as when she was talking to her mother on the rooftop. Instead, she seemed very impatient.

If she was talking to Wen Ya or Wen Ya's people, Mi'er wouldn't be so impatient. Sure enough, it has nothing to do with Granny Ye.

Immediately, Jiang Zheng curled his lips slightly, hung up the phone after a few words, and did not continue to ask any more questions, so as to alert the enemy.

Since Mi'er's matter has nothing to do with Granny Ye, the actual scene on the rooftop at that time was completely different from Jiang Zheng's imagination.

From beginning to end, if we reorganize it in chronological order, what actually happened in the morning four days ago is as follows:

The first thing: Granny Ye called Mi'er early and asked her to come back with some bones and muscles.

The second thing: Mi'er didn't go shopping directly, but went to school to threaten Jiang Zheng, but was deceived by Jiang Zheng on the rooftop.

The third thing: But while Mi'er was deceived by Jiang Zheng, she also used a fake mother-daughter dialogue to deceive Jiang Zheng by acting on the spot.

The fourth thing: Jiang Zheng took the opportunity to help Mi'er add WeChat and stole the first number on the call history, which was the so-called "Wen Ya's number".

Among them, Mi'er's deception method was to "pretend to receive a call from her mother" and then "pretend to discuss it with her mother."

After such a pretend conversation, Mi'er happily announced that her mother had agreed to her cooperation with Jiang Zheng.

It was precisely because of Mi'er's deception that Jiang Zheng always thought he had stolen Wen Ya's number.

But in fact, Wen Ya didn't call at all, so what she stole became Granny Ye's number, which she called early.

After listening to Jiang Zheng's analysis and list from beginning to end, Xia Linlin also nodded and said:

"Indeed, compared to the ridiculous thing that Granny Ye is a mole, Mi'er is more likely to be lying to you."

"But this is too outrageous. Why would Mi'er do this? Isn't she at all afraid that Wen Ya will be angry?"

If Mi'er hadn't called to discuss it with her mother at all at that time.

Then her alliance with Jiang Zheng became a private act without Wen Ya's consent at all.

It's hard to imagine that with Wen Ya's stern character and such strong control over her daughter.

How could she allow her daughter to take it upon herself to tell outsiders about mother and daughter's plans so easily.

Especially the "action in one week" information that is very important and may even affect the entire plan.

Mi'er actually leaked it without any authorization. This was too courageous.

The most important thing is, if this is really what happened and Mi'er is lying.

Mi'er's external behavioral logic is completely inconsistent with her internal cognition in the palace of the soul.

In the "Palace of Soul. Between Memories", Mi'er's soul is equivalent to being completely bound by Wen Ya.

She didn't even have the right to speak. She had to wait for her mother to say a word before she dared to repeat the next sentence.

Just such a little girl who is already afraid of her mother in her inner world.

Do you really dare to pretend to be your mother and make such an extremely bold move?

Impossible. Impossible. Completely unjustifiable.

From this point of view, there is such a big difference between Mi'er's inside and outside? It doesn't look like the same person at all.

It was precisely because this situation was so bizarre that Jiang Zheng couldn't tell what exactly happened for a while.

Could it be that Mi'er in the "Soul Palace" doesn't have the same personality as Mi'er outside?

That's not right. Isn't the "soul palace" her inner cognitive world? How could they have different personalities?

For a moment, the intertwined and intricate clues were like a ball of yarn that had been played with by a cat.

Jiang Zheng always felt as if every direction he was thinking was wrong, and he couldn't find a way to unravel the truth.

In desperation, he had no choice but to angrily sit down on the bed at the back and send a WeChat message to Mi'er asking;

"Mi'er, is there any news from your mother recently? How should I cooperate with you?"

In fact, when he sent this WeChat message, Jiang Zheng had no hope at all and was just trying desperately.

After all, Mier's strange character is much more cunning and elusive than imagined.

It is almost impossible to get some clues through this kind of conversation, and she will just get rid of it with lies.

Even now, Jiang Zheng has some doubts that the "one-week appointment" is indeed true.

Or maybe it was just an excuse Mi'er said casually to fool herself. If so, it would be too frustrating.

However, just after more than ten seconds passed, Mi'er's message was sent back.

"There haven't been any instructions from my mother recently, so we can prepare the time according to the previous plan."

Seeing this nonsensical reply, Jiang Zheng also sighed and replied casually:

"Okay, then let's stick to the previously planned time."

As if aware of the low tone in Jiang Zheng's reply, Mi'er over there thought for a few seconds before replying:

"Don't worry, mother is always cautious, but don't worry, everything will be over in a week."

"Yes, yes, you have the final say. When did you say... eh?"

Originally, Jiang Zheng wanted to reply, "You will do it when you say you will do it."

His fingers that were typing on the nine-key screen suddenly stopped in mid-air, and his whole body became stiff.

"What's wrong? Something strange happened?"

Seeing Jiang Zheng froze on the bed, Xia Linlin took off her cat slippers and crawled behind Jiang Zheng, looking over his shoulder at the text on the screen.

When he saw this reply, which at first glance looked like nothing strange, the little cat tilted his head in confusion and asked in a low voice:

"President, is there anything wrong with what she said? Why do you show such an expression?"

"Yes, of course there are problems, and they are very serious problems."

Jiang Zheng took a deep breath, pointed at the line Mi'er sent, and frowned:

"What she said was, 'It'll be over in a week.' The problem is, four days ago, she said almost, no, exactly the same thing."
