As soon as Ranran opened his mouth, Wang Laowu was stunned.
It was as if everything he had insisted on before was suddenly overturned. He muttered: "No way... Can there be such a scheming person among the workers?"
“This is so scary…”
At this moment in his mind, the person who might use Li Yang's words to kill Li Yang was more terrifying than the rope-strangling ghost.
Wang Laowu said it was impossible, but his attitude had obviously been shaken by Ranran.
Because what Ranran said is completely logical.
Is the murderer a human or a ghost?
The whole thing suddenly became confusing.
Ranran and Shen Dinghai are still more inclined to believe that someone killed Li Yang.
Although empiricism is not desirable, it is inevitable that people believe in their own experience.
Ran Ran concluded: "Let's investigate in this direction first. Even if we find out that the murderer is really a ghost, it won't be too late to change direction at that time."
Shen Dinghai nodded. He took the phone back from Wang Laowu and shook it. "Show me the payment code."
Wang Laowu was immediately overjoyed and happily took out a mobile phone from his trouser pocket. It was the cheapest smartphone.
Shen Dinghai breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was a smart phone, not one of those old phones that couldn't even be used for payment or scanning codes. After all, he didn't have any cash on him.
Shen Dinghai had long forgotten how many questions he had asked Wang Laowu, but Wang Laowu remembered them clearly.
"There are eighteen questions in total. The one asking me whether Lin Zhengying can take in a female ghost doesn't count. Just transfer 1,800 yuan."
Even though Shen Dinghai paid the money willingly, he couldn't help but be stunned. This was too clear a memory.
In the end, he transferred a total of 2,000 yuan to Wang Laowu, which was considered a round number.
Wang Laowu was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. "This is almost two months' bonus!"
"Young man! You are so generous! You will definitely achieve great things in the future!"
Shen Dinghai felt guilty after being praised. He originally wanted to transfer 10,000 yuan to Wang Laowu, but he was afraid that the money would be too much for him and it might turn out to be a bad thing, so he gave up.
"Tonight, I'll buy some strawberries for my baby, and some watermelon for my wife! I've got to get some spareribs too!"
Shen Dinghai looked at Wang Laowu's back as he happily left, and couldn't help but sigh, "People who can be happy and satisfied by simple little things are very happy people."
Ran Ran said mercilessly: "Second nephew, are you trying to say that because your material starting point is much higher than his, you are more difficult to satisfy than him, so you are less happy?"
Shen Dinghai let out a slight "hiss" and had a strange expression on his face.
"That seems to be what it means, but why does it sound so strange when it comes out of your mouth, cousin?"
Ran Ran spread his hands, "As long as the meaning is right, that's all."
Shen Dinghai's face was wrinkled, and he was speechless, "Cousin... why do I feel that your words are getting more and more unpleasant..."
Ran Ran turned back to meet his eyes, "It's not a feeling, it's a fact."
"I feel better now, just living my life as I please, without worrying about too many things."
"Ah?" Shen Dinghai had a sad face. "My feelings are no longer important to you, cousin? Am I not your beloved junior?"
There was a crack in Ranran's calm expression, and she choked, which was rare.
"Yes, but don't say that again."
"why?"
"If you keep talking about this, you may not be one anymore."
"..."
Ran Ran and Shen Dinghai quickly returned to the mourning hall at the entrance of the construction site. They wanted to see Li Yang's body first, if possible.
However, as expected, it was rejected.
In the sloppy mourning hall, the man looked at them warily, "What do you want to do?" Shen Dinghai sighed and smiled bitterly, "We are clearly here to investigate, but everyone is looking at us with such suspicion, making us look like the murderer."
The man had good hearing and actually heard what Shen Dinghai and Ranran whispered to each other.
"You want to investigate? Are you from the Public Security Bureau?!" The man's expression became obviously more defensive when he said the latter part, and he wanted to protect his whole body in front of the coffin.
Thinking of the conflict between Li Yang's family and the Public Security Bureau, Shen Dinghai's scalp went numb. "No, no, no! You misunderstood. We have nothing to do with the Public Security Bureau. We just want to find out the cause of Li Yang's death."
"Can you please let us see Li Yang's body?"
The man's eyes turned red when he heard this. "Then you were sent by the construction site? You want to be paid?"
"If Li Yang was murdered deliberately, the construction site naturally has no say in the matter of giving money. The construction site can only give some compensation and pension out of humanitarian concern."
The man got angry, "My brother died on your construction site! Why can't I ask you for money?"
Shen Dinghai smiled good-naturedly, "I didn't say you can't ask the construction site for money, but everything needs to be discussed and concluded by all parties after the truth is revealed."
"We are also very sorry for what happened to you and your family, and we will do our best to satisfy you."
The man's anger subsided a little. "He said something human. He is more reliable than the previous person."
After getting Shen Dinghai's approval, he leaned against the coffin and shook his legs comfortably.
"Then just tell me a number. How much can you give me?" The man raised his fist with his hand. "Do you have this number?"
Shen Dinghai was very surprised by this sudden change. The person who was fiercely defending his brother's coffin in front of him just a second ago suddenly changed his attitude after hearing that he could get money.
"What does fist mean?"
The man was taking out a cigarette from his pocket, and when he heard this, he paused, "Handsome boy, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand?"
He punched Shen Dinghai in the chest, but hurt himself.
"Why is it so hard like a wall..." the man complained in pain, "My fist represents one million!"
Seeing that Shen Dinghai and Ran Ran didn't speak immediately, the man snorted and laughed, "My brother's life is a living life. In the eyes of you rich people, is it not worth even one million?"
Shen Dinghai was just worrying about how to continue the conversation when Ranran suddenly spoke.
"A bastard's life is not worth a penny."
Shen Dinghai was stunned. Is it okay to say such words in front of the deceased's family? Ran Ran's aunt's emotional intelligence is not just running away from home, but it has completely disappeared!
Faced with the man's suddenly widened eyes, Shen Dinghai immediately repeated his old trick and pulled Ranran out to save his life.
Outside the simple shed, Shen Dinghai lowered his voice, almost shouting at the top of his lungs, "Cousin, you can't talk like that!"
"Is there any problem?" Ran Ran said calmly: "I am telling the truth."
"And I didn't point out that the person I was talking about was Li Yang." Ran Ran pointed to the mourning hall, "He's not even angry, why are you angry, nephew?"
Shen Dinghai was helpless. "Cousin, this is not the way to do whatever we want! If you continue to speak so bluntly, it will seriously interfere with our investigation."
"It's you who interfered with our investigation." Ran Ran explained calmly, "My words now may not sound nice, but what I said just now was to test Li Yang's brother's attitude towards Li Yang."
"He doesn't really respect Li Yang, does he?"
Shen Dinghai thought about the man's changed face and the way he leaned against the coffin. Indeed...
"This way, we can also find out whether what Wang Laowu said is completely true."
"If even Li Yang's brother doesn't have anything positive to say about Li Yang, then it's enough to know that Li Yang is a complete bastard."
Ranran lifted the windproof curtain and entered the mourning hall again, followed by Shen Dinghai.
As soon as they entered, they saw the man smiling.
"What you said is really good, little kid!"
"My brother is indeed a bastard!" (End of this chapter)
