Chapter 230: Be less hypocritical and don’t make trouble out of nothing
After an inexplicable and in-depth exchange, everyone's doubts were focused on one point.
"If the pregnant woman is really Sun Zhiqiang's wife, then his reaction just now is very wrong! He just walked away as if nothing had happened."
Shen Dinghai rubbed his chin like a detective in a movie or TV show, "Could it be that he is pretending to be calm?"
"But you shouldn't just pretend to be calm and leave without any expression, right? Isn't he worried that we will investigate him and his wife?"
Ran Ran looked at the worker with a clear gaze, "Are you sure that the person holding the umbrella that day was Sun Zhiqiang?"
The worker recalled the situation again and said, "It's almost certain!"
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation."
Ranran gave Shen Dinghai a look. Shen Dinghai didn't react at first until the workers began to look at him earnestly.
"Transfer money, right?"
The worker nodded vigorously, and Ranran also nodded.
Shen Dinghai took out his cell phone and transferred the money to the worker with some discomfort. Of course, his unhappiness was not because of spending tens of thousands of dollars, but because of Ranran's attitude towards him.
Seeing the workers happily leave, Shen Dinghai said aggrievedly: "Cousin, you can't do this!"
"What kind?"
"You just treated me like an ATM machine. Is the only thing we have in common that we pay the bill?"
Ranran didn't understand where Shen Dinghai's grievances came from. Of course, the tacit understanding between him and her was more than that. She thought he knew it.
Ning Wu, who had watched the whole process, suddenly said coldly: "Can you play a more important role than an ATM machine?"
"At least I have a place to use my skills, and I'm not a completely useless piece of trash."
Shen Dinghai immediately felt a burning pain on his face. He hated Ning Wu very much, but his words touched his heart.
In fact, it was not the first time that Shen Dinghai felt that he was useless next to Ranran.
Therefore, he habitually seeks to position his own value, such as joking in the hospital that he is an indispensable mascot of the team, and saying that he is a full-time driver on the way to Good Village.
He would also be sensitive and sad because of Ranran's look that only asked him to give him money.
This is the complex and changeable emotions of human beings.
At this stage, Ranran could hardly perceive anything. She just stared at Shen Dinghai's aggrieved expression in a daze.
She inexplicably felt that if it were her old self, she might have been able to sense her nephew's emotions.
Blinking, Ran Ran came back to his senses, "I didn't mean that, nephew, don't think too much."
Shen Dinghai's complexion improved, but not much. He still looked at Ran Ran eagerly, "That's it, nothing more?"
Ning Wu snorted coldly, "What else do you want?"
"You are such a nuisance! I'm talking to my cousin, not you!"
Ning Wu said calmly, "It was your one-sided imagination that caused you to lose control of your emotions. The fault is yours, not hers. Isn't it enough that she comforted you out of pity?"
Shen Dinghai wanted to argue, but he felt that what Ning Wu said seemed to make some sense, so he could only make personal attacks.
"You are the only one with a big mouth, chattering all the time..."
Ran Ran mediated, "Okay, let's focus on investigating the truth."
Ning Wu smiled gently at Shen Dinghai, "Yes, be less hypocritical and don't make trouble out of nothing."
Even though Shen Dinghai could understand that this was just Ning Wu's intention and it was not what Ran Ran wanted to express at all, he still felt aggrieved.
The grievance in his heart became even greater, and he felt like a man full of resentment.
In the end, Ranran took Shen Dinghai's hand and asked him to sit on the sofa, and his emotions dissipated a lot.
But he still kept his mouth tightly shut, holding himself back like a duck.
Ran Ran said helplessly: "I asked you to sit here, not to let you stay out of the matter." "Nephew, you have to participate in the discussion."
Ning Wu's face darkened slightly, and Shen Dinghai's cloudy sky naturally turned sunny.
If Ran Ran really let him stay aside to have a good rest in order to comfort him, his emotions would probably pile up even more. If he was allowed to participate in the discussion, he would feel needed and not the one who was excluded.
My cousin said that she didn’t understand human nature, but it’s obvious that she does!
"Regarding the doubts we just had, I thought of a possibility." Ranran spoke first again.
"Sun Zhiqiang's lack of reaction to his wife's exposure is probably because this is what he wanted us to know."
Shen Dinghai was puzzled. "But doesn't this contradict what the worker just said?"
"Sun Zhiqiang didn't instruct him to say that."
Ran Ran paused, "Let me correct my wording. Sun Zhiqiang didn't want us to know his wife at first, but the final result of this matter was what he wanted."
"In other words, his wife's exposure was not part of his plan, but it benefited his plan."
Shen Dinghai once again felt the difference in IQ, "Plan... I don't even know what Sun Zhiqiang's plan is..."
"I don't know either." Ran Ran said solemnly; "I should say that I didn't know at first, but as long as we connect the two things of his wife's exposure and his entrusting the worker uncle to lie, and put them in the same direction, we can probably deduce Sun Zhiqiang's purpose."
“…What is the purpose…”
Ning Wu smiled and said, "Mr. Shen can't figure out such a simple question. Your brain really surprises me."
"Sun Zhiqiang is guiding us to investigate him."
"That's right." Ranran's affirmation made Shen Dinghai, who wanted to speak, hold back his words.
"Sun Zhiqiang specifically told the workers to make us think he was in contact with Lao He. What are the consequences of doing so?"
Shen Dinghai was stunned and said, "Because we are investigating Lao He, we will follow this clue and include Sun Zhiqiang in the scope of investigation..."
He couldn't figure it out. "Is this what he wanted?"
"That's what he wanted." Ran Ran affirmed: "In this case, it's only a matter of time before we can investigate his wife, so he quickly realized that his wife's exposure is not a serious matter."
Shen Dinghai understood the logic and couldn't help wondering, "Why did Sun Zhiqiang ask us to investigate him?"
"He's the real murderer? He wants us to arrest him? Why doesn't he just go to the police station and turn himself in? Why make it so complicated!"
Ran Ran nodded slightly, "This is another speculation. Maybe he has some reason why he can't turn himself in?"
Shen Dinghai was stunned for a while, "So it was really Sun Zhiqiang who killed him?!"
"That makes everything seem to make sense!"
"He is the team leader of the construction site, and at least a small management staff. He must be very familiar with the situation on the construction site, so he was able to bring his pregnant wife in without being discovered by other workers, except for the gossipy uncle."
Shen Dinghai became uncontrollably excited, as if he had discovered some shocking secret.
"In fact, it was because of this that he was able to kill two people without being discovered!"
"This can even explain why Li Yang took the initiative to open the door on the night he was killed! It's only natural for a team leader to open the door when he came to see him!"
Shen Dinghai felt that he was becoming more and more insightful the more he spoke.
"He also killed Wang Laowu at the construction site. He had enough hands-on skills, and then he had to pretend that Wang Laowu died outside the construction site."
"His relationship with Lao He is not good at all. It can even be said to be very bad! He has been framing Lao He all along!"
Shen Dinghai just felt that the truth was finally revealed.
Ranran glanced at Ning Wu, and both of them had no objection to Shen Dinghai's inference.
In fact, they also thought so in their hearts. Based on all the clues and evidence at present, such an inference can be considered reasonable.
"Then, a new doubt arises."
"What exactly does Sun Zhiqiang want to do?"
