"It only took Lao He a few punches to make Li Yang spit blood and foam. His face was bruised and swollen, but Li Yang, the psychopath, was still laughing!"
"His small body means he has no chance against Lao He! But he still wants to fight back against Lao He, and his tactics are very shady."
"He actually used the stainless steel chopsticks he used for eating to poke Lao He's eyes. Fortunately, he missed the target, otherwise Lao He would have been blind!"
The worker clapped his arms in an unlucky tone, "Don't mess with a psychopath! You don't know what a psychopath can do!"
Ran Ran asked sincerely, "Didn't any of you think of stopping them?"
"Why stop him?" The worker said as a matter of course, "There are many people on the construction site who want to beat up that bastard Li Yang! It's just that no one wants to mess with such an unlucky guy like him!"
"It's so hard to find someone to beat him up, and I can't wait to watch the fun, why are you trying to stop them?!"
The worker snorted. "Although Lao He beat Li Yang badly, he was merciful enough. Considering the physique of Lao He and Li Yang, Lao He could definitely beat Li Yang to death!"
Ran Ran thought about the two people's figures in his mind and silently agreed with the worker's words.
A possible target for Li Yang has been found.
"Does Lao He have any grudge against Wang Lao Wu? Have they ever had any dispute?"
The worker was stunned after hearing this, "No, you haven't given up on listing Lao He as a suspect?!"
"Li Yang was not killed by Lao He, and it is even less likely that Wang Laowu was the one who killed him!"
Ranran and Shen Dinghai didn't say anything, so Ning Wu smiled at the worker knowing when to do it, which frightened the worker.
"...Boss...don't smile at me like that..."
Ning Wu's smile completely lost the genuine emotion he had when he saw Ran Ran. He said with a fake smile, "If I ask you to answer a question, just answer it properly without mixing in other things."
The worker wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded repeatedly.
"... Lao He and Wang Lao Wu really don't have any conflicts... Lao He doesn't have any conflicts with Wang Lao Wu, he doesn't have any conflicts with anyone on the construction site. Everyone can't thank him enough!"
"One time I lost my work tools and cursed a few times. Then when I came back from the bathroom, I saw Lao He carrying something and looking for me. When I asked him, he said that my dog had a good nose and found it easily, so he found it right away."
"After the incident, he didn't say anything to me. He just gave me something and left."
Shen Dinghai just felt something was wrong, "Don't you suspect that it was Lao He who took your things?"
"What does he want with my stuff? We have different jobs. My stuff is useless to him. Even if he sells it for scrap, it won't fetch much money with such a small weight!"
"Besides, they sent it back to me intact! Lao He is not that kind of person!"
Shen Dinghai looked hesitant, "Just because of this incident, you have such a good impression of him?"
The worker retorted, "Of course it's not just this one thing, and Lao He not only helped me, but also other workers! Young man, don't always talk about conspiracy theories!"
"Don't you think it's impossible for such good people to exist in the world?"
Shen Dinghai couldn't find any words to reply.
The worker snorted complacently, "Anyway, it's impossible for you to suspect that Lao He killed Li Yang. If you still suspect that Lao He killed Wang Laowu, that's completely nonsense!"
"If it weren't for a psychopath like Li Yang, how could someone as good-tempered as Lao He get so angry?"
Ranran had some thoughts in her mind. No matter how much suspicion Lao He had, he would become her next target of investigation.
"You just said that you and Lao He have different jobs, so you should live quite far away from each other? If we want to go find him, which direction should we go?" The workers felt that Ran Ran and Shen Dinghai were hopeless.
Even after he said this, they were still doubting Lao He. However, due to the presence of Ning Wu, he still honestly pointed out the direction.
"Lao He is in a large team with dozens of people who are responsible for surveying. The team leader is Sun Zhiqiang. Generally, if you want to find someone who works for Brother Sun, you should go directly to Brother Sun first."
Shen Dinghai frowned slightly, "Sun...why does it sound a little familiar?"
On the road sunk deep into the sand, Ran Ran suddenly spoke.
"Nephew, do you doubt Lao He?"
Shen Dinghai said without thinking: "Of course I doubt it! From the known situation, he is very suspicious!"
"Although the worker just now kept emphasizing that Lao He is a good person, but does that mean good people won't kill people? Maybe they will do that if they are pushed into a corner!"
"What was Lao He's motive for killing Li Yang? Was it just because of the puppy he raised?"
"Cousin, what you said is wrong. You can't say it's just that. Some people who really like puppies will treat them as family members or friends."
"The killing of a puppy may not be worth revenge, but the killing of family members and friends... I don't think many people can tolerate this!"
Ran Ran pondered, "Nephew, what you mean is that Lao He was angry because his dog was tortured to death by Li Yang, and after beating him up, he felt that it was not enough to vent his anger, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't get over it, so he killed someone in anger?"
"It's very likely!" Shen Dinghai said seriously, "I know that revenge killing requires anger to reach its peak. For Lao He, his peak of anger may not necessarily be when he learned that the puppy was dead."
Ran Ran glanced at Shen Dinghai and said, "I'm all ears."
"Didn't the worker just say that Lao He raised a group of stray dogs? Two of them were killed by Li Yang, but there are still some puppies left. Lao He can't just ignore them. He still has to feed them every day."
"While feeding the puppy, Lao He's hatred grew deeper and deeper, because if it weren't for that damn Li Yang, his puppy would still be alive and well."
"The hatred gradually accumulated, and Lao He was a taciturn person who only knew how to suffer losses. He had no place to vent his emotions. Just like that, one night, the hatred in his heart reached its peak..."
Ranran looked at Shen Dinghai's pretending to be fierce eyes and naturally continued the conversation.
"Lao He knocked on Li Yang's door and strangled him to death with a rope."
Shen Dinghai's eyes lit up, "That's right! Doesn't this make perfect sense? It's totally natural!"
Ran Ran hesitated for a moment, "I have a question, will Li Yang really open the door for Lao He?"
"You have to know that after that fight, their relationship has deteriorated from strangers to enemies."
"Will Li Yang really open the door without caring about his enemy's late-night visit?"
Shen Dinghai was startled and began to hesitate, "…It's not impossible…Didn't the worker just say that Li Yang is a psychopath?"
"Psychopaths are capable of doing anything. We cannot use normal people's thinking to guess what they are like."
"Most people would not open the door to their enemies in the middle of the night, but Li Yang...it's entirely possible!"
Ran Ran disagreed. "I don't think it makes sense. Even if Li Yang really has a brain problem, he should have the most basic sense of danger. Otherwise, he wouldn't have grown so big."
"Let's keep our doubts for now. Once we meet Lao He and talk to him, we should be able to draw a conclusion."
As the three of them walked, they arrived at Lao He's residence. (End of this chapter)
