Chapter 210: Witch has more than one meaning

A big and a small person were walking on a dusty construction site.

Shen Dinghai was obviously shocked by the conversation just now in the mourning hall, and he found it difficult to understand.

"Cousin, why would you suspect Li Liu? Li Yang is his brother!"

Ran Ran remained calm and said, "Of course."

"And he himself said that he regretted not giving it a try. If he had tried it earlier, he might have become rich sooner."

Shen Dinghai couldn't help but rubbed Ran Ran's face, "Cousin, stop telling lies to tease me."

Ran Ran pushed his hand away and said, "I'm not kidding you. Doesn't my nephew have connections with the Public Security Bureau? Ask him to send someone to keep an eye on Li Liu."

"Li Yang is a bastard, and so is Li Liu."

Ran Ran looked at his hands. "Just now, I performed a little scene reconstruction on Li Liu and took a rough look at his past."

"He is an out-and-out gambler. It shouldn't be difficult for him to sacrifice his family for gambling."

Ran Ran looked at Shen Dinghai, "Li Liu has a bedridden mother at home. Because she wanted to stop Li Liu from gambling, she was paralyzed in a car accident. She usually relies on the help of neighbors to barely survive."

"Li Liu completely ignored her. If she hadn't been greedy for the disability subsidy issued by the state, Li Liu would have dumped her as a burden long ago."

Ran Ran stopped and said, "I seriously suspect that after being inspired by me, Li Liu will use the money you just gave him to transfer his mother to a nursing home, and then kill his mother and pretend that the nursing home did not take good care of her, in order to extort money."

Shen Dinghai's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he didn't dare to delay at all and called Shen Dingchuan.

He didn't forget to complain before the call was connected.

"Cousin, why did you inspire him? Isn't this adding a scourge to society?"

After Shen Dinghai and Shen Dingchuan finished recounting what happened, Ran Ran spread his hands innocently and said, "I am clearly solving a problem for society. A gambler like Li Liu is a destabilizing factor in society. Who knows what crazy things he will do to raise money for gambling."

"It would be better to set a trap for him to fall into, and then send him to jail when he takes the bait."

Ran Ran blinked her eyes. "There are many talented people in there, and they speak well. I believe he will be reformed and enlightened in there."

Only then did Shen Dinghai realize that Ran Ran was trying to trip up Li Liu, a fatal one at that.

"Cousin, you want to catch Li Liu in the act of murdering his mother instead of simply protecting Li Liu's mother!"

Ran Ran nodded, "Otherwise why would I ask you to send someone to keep an eye on Li Liu? He is the target."

"Only by sending people like this to jail can the non-bastards in society feel at ease."

The two talked as they walked, and soon arrived at the tin house where the workers lived.

The iron sheet of the house is quite thin, and it will make a loud noise if you just hit it twice with your hands.

The two found Li Yang's house without much effort because the cordon set up by the Public Security Bureau at the door was too conspicuous.

Ranran took advantage of his height and walked in by bending slightly, while Shen Dinghai climbed over flexibly with his long legs.

Shen Dinghai was stunned as soon as he entered the house. He couldn't believe that someone could live in such a small space and such simple conditions.

He could touch the roof of the tin house with his hand. "This house must be cold in winter and hot in summer, no doubt about it."

As he said this, he did not forget to mention Wang Laowu, "The house they live in as a family of three should be bigger than this, right? Otherwise, it is hard for me to imagine how they live on a daily basis."

Ranran was the first to go around the door and check the lock.

In good condition.

The door lock of the tin house is the most primitive kind, the bolt type, with a sliding iron rod embedded between thin iron sheets. As long as the iron rod is slid into the groove on the side of the door frame, the door is closed.

It is absolutely impossible to open it from the outside. Ran Ran took a look at Shen Dinghai's size, but it is definitely possible to open it with violence. But the lock has no signs of being damaged at all, which means... Li Yang opened the door himself...

Ranran was thinking, and when she looked up, she saw Shen Dinghai grinning at her with his big white teeth.

"My cousin is a good detective! She even checked the door locks immediately! How is it? Did you come up with any conclusions?"

Ranran closed the thin iron door, exposing the lock to Shen Dinghai.

"The conclusion is that the murderer is someone Li Yang knows."

"If Li Yang was really killed in the room, he was the one who opened the door for the murderer."

Shen Dinghai opened his eyes wide when he heard this, "Could the crime scene be somewhere else?"

Ran Ran looked at the traces of struggle in the small space. "Obviously there was a fight here, but there are no traces of dragging on the ground. There should be no second scene."

Shen Dinghai performed the basic duties of a repeater, "In other words, the murderer is someone Li Yang knows or even knows well. This is basically certain."

Ran Ran frowned and nodded, "One thing is strange, the iron sheet of this house is so thin, if there was a fight inside, people around should be able to hear it."

"Don't we have enough information? Why haven't we heard of this?"

"Then let's go and ask the workers living near Li Yang?"

Ran Ran nodded, "Well, let's go find Wang Laowu and get a list first. He is the only one we are familiar with here."

Silently, the closed iron door was suddenly pushed open gently, but no light came in. The figure that appeared at the door blocked all the light.

Shen Dinghai was startled, "Who are you? Why are you walking without making any sound?!"

The man looked gentle and fair, with a smiling expression on his face, but for some reason people were afraid to approach him.

"I thought you would come to me on your own initiative."

Shen Dinghai was stunned, but Ranran's brows became deeper and deeper.

The man slowly took out his hands from behind his back, and what was clenched between his slender white fingers was a white hat.

"You! You...you are the person that Mr. Shen asked us to find!"

This sudden surprise frightened Shen Dinghai so much that he couldn't speak.

The man nodded and said, "My name is Ning Wu, nice to meet you two."

The frightened Shen Dinghai repeated the name twice, and felt it was very strange, "Ning Wu, which Wu?"

Ning Wu is very pretty, and her smile is like the refreshing gardenia.

"Wizard's witch."

"Why is it called this? Is there anyone in your family who does this job?" Shen Dinghai sounded very curious, but his voice was just dry and perfunctory.

Ning Wu's gaze suddenly shifted to Ran Ran, the smile in his eyes became even more intense, and he gently explained: "Wu doesn't just mean a liar who pretends to be a ghost."

"Really? I'll have to check it out some other day!" Shen Dinghai responded perfunctorily, his little eyes unable to help but glance at Ranran.

My cousin had just said that she couldn't meet this person or something bad would happen, but the two of them ended up meeting.

He also said that even if they didn't go looking for this person, this person would most likely come to them, and he actually did!

The bad news is that it really is a jinx; the worse news is that both of them are jinxes.

Now Shen Dinghai felt a little curious besides being frightened.

If my cousin really meets this person, what bad things will happen?
