Finally, it was time for the on-site visit. Shen Dinghai felt a little dazed as he watched Ran Ran standing at the door and asking questions of the workers from house to house.
Why is it that the scenes at the Shengxiu Building construction site are becoming more and more like a criminal investigation drama?
With Ning Wu, the white hat, by his side, Ranran's actions were undoubtedly as smooth as if he was blessed by the goddess of luck.
Her questions mainly revolve around the only thing Li Yang and Wang Laowu currently have in common - ghosts.
Ranran asked each worker about the details about ghosts that he had heard from Li Yang and Wang Laowu.
Some of the workers were able to speak a few words to both of them, so they heard some fragments from their mouths.
And some workers who are not familiar with Li Yang and Wang Laowu can also kindly point out people who may know clues to Ran Ran and Ning Wu.
Soon the two found the worker who had personally participated in Li Yang's propaganda about having seen the rope-strangling female ghost.
"You mean the day when Li Yang boasted about seeing the rope-strangling ghost? I know! I can't forget how proud he was at that time!"
Ran Ran was planning to exchange glances with Shen Dinghai, but Shen Dinghai was still standing in the distance like a salted fish with its soul out of its body.
There was only the smiling Ning Wu beside her.
Ning Wu looked back at her and smiled even more happily.
Ran Ran restrainedly withdrew his gaze, suppressed the slightly unhappy emotion in his heart, and continued to ask the workers who knew the situation.
"Why would you show off when you see a ghost? Isn't Li Yang's emotion a little strange?"
The worker groaned, "How would I know? Li Yang is a strange person. Normally, no one dares to provoke him or communicate with him."
"Anyway, after I learned about his 'glorious deeds', I never spoke to him again. I just passed by He Liu's group that day and overheard a little."
Ran Ran frowned, "Who is He Liu?"
"It's Lao He! How can I describe him... He's usually very quiet, and I don't see him interacting with other people, but he's a very honest person."
"Tell him if you need any help, and he will do his best to help!"
"He is not petty at all. If a worker in the same group does less work for some reason, Lao He will usually do the work that person is supposed to do without saying a word, and he will never ask others to repay him afterwards."
"Always helping without asking for anything in return..." Ran Ran was puzzled, "Won't others get used to taking advantage of him?"
After all, the example of Wang Laowu is right in front of us.
"Old He doesn't care!" The worker said, and he seemed to feel sorry for Old He. "He's just a dull guy!"
"He wouldn't even utter a word if a stick hit him on the head."
Shen Dinghai didn't know when he joined in the questioning, "Why does this description sound so much like a coward?"
The worker waved his hands, "No, no, no! I always thought that Lao He was used to being bullied, but later I found out that it was just that others took advantage of him and didn't touch his bottom line!"
The worker opened his eyes wide, "If you hit his bottom line, he will get angry with you!"
Ran Ran chewed on these two words, "Bottom line? Can you tell us what happened specifically?"
"It's about the fight between Lao He and Li Yang a while ago! I heard that when Li Yang lost the fight, he cursed Lao He in his dreams at night!"
Ranran still remembers this matter; Wang Laowu once mentioned it.
She murmured, "It turns out that the old He who fought with Li Yang was He Liu."
Shen Dinghai became more alert. "Then Lao He can be included in the list of suspects! Because the verbal dispute evolved into a physical conflict, Lao He still had a grudge against Li Yang after the fight, so he killed him!"
The workers laughed out loud. "Lao He killed someone? How is that possible? Lao He is a very loving person. He eats plain Chinese cabbage every day and raises a large group of stray dogs!" "He had a conflict with Li Yang because the stray dogs he raised were tortured to death by Li Yang."
The worker looked at Shen Dinghai with disdain in his eyes, "Besides, Lao He obviously won the fight, why did he hold a grudge against Li Yang! If he had to keep thinking about the fight, he must be the one who curses Li Yang in his dreams!"
Shen Dinghai immediately lowered his voice and said awkwardly: "That does make sense..."
Ran Ran frowned. "Weren't Li Yang and Lao He at the construction site from the beginning of the project? The two of them had never met before?"
The worker was stunned, then nodded, "Ah... I know what you want to ask, little girl. Li Yang has been here since the beginning of the project, but Lao He came later, so he doesn't know Li Yang's character, but oh..."
"I seriously doubt that even if Lao He and Li Yang came in together, Lao He would not know that Li Yang abused the dog, because Lao He did not communicate with the brothers on the construction site!"
"Li Yang's bad reputation has spread throughout the construction site. Everyone who knows him and those who don't know him know Li Yang, but Lao He knows nothing about him."
"He started looking for the dogs on the construction site after he found out that two of his stray dogs were missing. Then a friend he had helped suggested that it might have been Li Yang who did it."
The worker's eyes widened. "I remember it was lunchtime that day, and Lao He didn't even eat. He just kept calling his dog Diandian or something."
"Anyone can tell that Lao He is panicking. This is the first time we've seen Lao He show any expression on his face!"
"After being reminded, Lao He ran to where Li Yang lived without saying a word and knocked on Li Yang's door. I was so excited when I saw the scene at that time!"
Ran Ran was puzzled, "What's so exciting about this?"
"Seeing a loser get angry is like seeing a cypress blossom! It's so rare!"
The worker shared with interest, "Anyway, Lao He's posture was very scary at the time, as if Li Yang killed his mother instead of his dog!"
Shen Dinghai frowned in disapproval. "For some people, pets are also part of the family. And it's not polite to compare a mother to a puppy."
The worker tutted softly, "Dogs are also family members. I don't understand the thinking of you young people!"
"Old He might have been influenced by you young people. He looked like he wanted to kill Li Yang. Li Yang was still eating. He confirmed that it was Li Yang who did it, so he punched Li Yang and knocked him down!"
Shen Dinghai was puzzled. "Didn't you say that Lao He couldn't possibly kill anyone? Why are you saying now that he looks like he's going to kill someone?"
"I really don't like what you say, young boy!" The worker said disdainfully, "Old He was just angry at the time! Who wouldn't shout for war and killing when they're angry?"
"Besides, if a person isn't scary even when he's angry, then what's the difference between that person and trash?"
Shen Dinghai does not want to agree with such values.
Ran Ran was a little bit unbelievable, "So Li Yang directly admitted that he killed the dog?"
The worker smacked his lips. "More than that. Li Yang was hit so hard that his mouth was bleeding. Lao He originally thought that he had gone too far and was too impulsive. I saw that he was about to leave Li Yang's room, but then..."
"Li Yang is a psychopath! He sat on the ground and started talking about how he tortured those two dogs! Old He's eyes turned red!"
"He beat Li Yang like a madman!"
"Old He looked really scary at that time! I was scared even when I was just watching!"
Ran Ran thought carefully about all the descriptions of Lao He that the workers had said...
A nice guy, quiet, and unlikely to kill anyone.
But at the same time, Lao He is strong and big, and he has had fierce conflicts with Li Yang.
Ran Ran's judgment is different from that of the workers. Lao He is fully capable of murder. (End of this chapter)
