Chapter 226: Lao He is...
In the upper left corner of the page of the somewhat tattered little notebook, it was clearly written: October 12th.
Ranran pointed at different names row by row, but did not see Lao He's name until the end of another page.
There is a person with the surname He, named He Qinggui.
Everyone frowned and looked at each other, suspecting for a moment that Sun Zhiqiang had given the wrong notebook.
As a result, Ning Wu took out his mobile phone and flipped through the contacts, and found that there was a name behind the two words "He Liu", which was He Qinggui.
"He Qinggui, was that your former name..." It sounded like a somewhat feminine name, which really didn't match the tall stature of Old He.
Maybe that's why the workers on the construction site are more accustomed to calling him Lao He or He Liu...
Seeing that the date written in the top corner had become October 13th, Ranran was still unable to find Lao He's name.
"Sun Zhiqiang said that He Liu... He Qinggui disappeared on the day Li Yang died, but He Qinggui clearly did not receive his salary on October 12..."
Everyone could understand Ranran's unfinished words.
Shen Dinghai frowned, "Cousin, do you think Sun Zhiqiang lied?"
"But it's also possible that Lao He didn't work on the 12th?"
"I'm not sure, but he definitely didn't tell us everything. Considering that he was a little reluctant when he gave me the salary just now..."
"We need to remain skeptical of what Old Sun says."
Shen Dinghai's mind was full of ideas. "Could it be that Lao Sun and Lao He have a good relationship, and he is an accomplice in these two cases?"
Ran Ran lowered his eyes and thought, "It's too early to draw conclusions now. Let's ask other team members for information first."
"What is certain is that we have one more question to explore."
"What is the relationship between Lao Sun and Lao He?"
Shen Dinghai nodded.
Ning Wu pulled out a cell phone from somewhere like a magic trick, and held it between his slender white knuckles, making the ordinary cell phone look as luxurious as a rare treasure.
"It's a shame that she didn't become a hand model. She's still working on a construction site. Tsk tsk tsk tsk ..."
Although Shen Dinghai was uneasy because of Ning Wu's incomprehensible words, he was a man who said whatever he thought.
Therefore, no matter what environment he is in, he can always make inappropriate complaints.
This is also a kind of talent...right?
Ning Wu didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Dinghai's words, which could be regarded as a compliment. He didn't even raise his eyes, but just looked at Ran Ran intently.
"Is it my turn now? You should think about how to thank me later."
Ran Ran opened her eyes wide, "How about..." She looked at Shen Dinghai for help, "I'll treat you to lunch later?"
"Of course, I used my second nephew's money. I don't have any money on me."
The smile on Ning Wu's face faded a little. "I don't think it's sincere enough."
Shen Dinghai was a little unhappy, "I didn't say that it was good enough to treat you to a cup of milk tea, but I even asked you to have lunch."
Ning Wu seemed not to hear what Shen Dinghai said, and there was only Ranran in his eyes.
Ran Ran looked a little embarrassed, "Then what do you think is sincerity?"
She was really not used to having to repay others. Usually it was the wild spirits she helped who repaid her.
Ning Wu raised his eyebrows, "How about I cook for you at noon?"
Not only Ranran was dumbfounded, but Shen Dinghai was also dumbfounded.
Ran Ran said uncertainly: "I want to show my sincerity... and then I will eat the food you cook? Is this how you show your sincerity?"
Ning Wu smiled and said, "Of course, this represents your trust in me."
Suddenly he frowned, "Are you the kind of person who would just eat someone else's cooking?"
Ran Ran pondered for a moment, "Not really..."
In fact, she seldom even ate. When she lived in the mountains before, she relied on mountain spiritual plants and spiritual dew to satisfy her hunger and quench her thirst when she was hungry and thirsty. She did not eat properly like ordinary people.
Ning Wu smiled again, "Very good, then it's settled." Shen Dinghai felt that there were too many things to complain about the situation in front of him, and he didn't know where to start.
"Regarding meals, extending and accepting invitations are at most expressions of friendly goodwill. How can you relate this to trust? You make it sound as if the food is poisoned when you eat out!"
Ning Wu felt like there was a noisy fly buzzing around his ear, and he finally looked at Shen Dinghai straight in the eye.
"Mr. Shen, I hope you understand that I am not talking to you, nor do I want you to talk to me. Even my lunch invitation does not include you."
Shen Dinghai's voice suddenly became louder, "You mean you two are going to eat without me?!"
Ning Wu didn't even raise his eyelids. "Of course, I don't need Mr. Shen's sincerity."
Shen Dinghai opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he saw Ning Wu raised his eyelids and glanced at him indifferently.
He shut up decisively.
This kid... no, not a kid, he must have been possessed by something terrifying, which is why he has an aura that is completely inconsistent with his actual age!
Shen Dinghai was absolutely unwilling to admit that Ning Wu's look just now had scared him thoroughly.
Now when the wind blew, the cold sweat on his back felt chilly.
Ran Ran frowned, obviously not agreeing with Ning Wu's behavior, but Shen Dinghai grabbed her hand and shook it earnestly.
"Please come, aunt..."
"You must have a good meal with Ning Wu and don't worry about my life or death!"
Seeing Ranran hesitate to speak, Shen Dinghai continued.
"In fact, I had a very full breakfast! I'm not hungry at all, and I don't think I'll be hungry later. I've set myself a difficult mission."
"I'm going to continue gathering information while the workers are eating!"
"Eating must be a time when the workers are very relaxed. This is the most appropriate time to ask questions! Hahaha! It's decided happily!"
After Shen Dinghai said this, Ranran couldn't go against his wishes, so she forced Ning Wu to invite Shen Dinghai to dinner.
Furthermore...
Ranran glanced at Ning Wu's indifferent eyes under her long eyelashes.
She didn't think what she said would have any effect on Ning Wu.
This is a person who is difficult to sway just by looking at his temperament.
Ranran stared at a face that was completely different from Qin Yan, but Qin Yan's appearance suddenly appeared in front of her.
For some reason, she thought of him. Sometimes, the qualities they displayed were really similar to hers.
Ning Wu's calm voice sounded unexpectedly.
"Are you looking through me at someone else?"
Ranran knew she was being rude and quickly looked away, but her silence was the best answer.
Ning Wu laughed for no apparent reason.
"It's really good."
Ranran couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence, but she knew it was probably a mockery of her, but why?
What was Ning Wu thinking of mocking her? Was it just because she was being rude?
Ning Wu didn't say anything else. He just silently contacted the workers one by one on his phone in the order of the list, and then Ranran asked the workers questions.
During this process, the two did not communicate at all. Shen Dinghai instinctively felt that the atmosphere was not right, but he was powerless to change anything.
The morning passed quickly, and after questioning four or five people, there was still no progress regarding the matters of Li Yang, Wang Laowu and Lao He.
What these workers knew was similar to what Ranran learned from the previous worker, and there was no more useful information.
And Lao He really lived up to the worker's description.
He is a loner, just like his tin hut, an isolated island.
Just when Ranran and others had formed a solidified image of Lao He, the next worker who arrived broke this impression.
"Old He has a wife, don't you know?"
