Chapter 232: Local gang of stray puppies?
"It's really strange." Ran Ran murmured, "Nephew, do you know the hours that Lao He's sister can be visited every week?"
"From 12:00 to 2:00 on Wednesday afternoon." Shen Dinghai added, "It has only been five days since Lao He last visited his sister. The hospital will not allow visitors to the public now."
Ranran frowned. She was thinking about the times when Shen Dinghai used money to make things simple after they arrived at the construction site, so she was puzzled.
"Is it not possible even if you are rich and powerful?"
"I'm really shocked that you can ask this question, cousin..." Shen Dinghai said embarrassedly, "You must not be contaminated by my smell of money!"
Ning Wu raised his eyelids and glanced at Shen Dinghai calmly, "If you have something to say, say it. Stop talking nonsense."
Shen Dinghai felt depressed, but immediately began to recall what he had just seen on his phone.
"Even if you are powerful, that doesn't work. This hospital's main selling point is its affordable prices. Judging from the pricing and the wealth of the patients it accepts, it is indeed not fawning on the powerful."
Ranran was silent for a while.
After Shen Dinghai answered, he felt it was outrageous. "Anyway, they only allow two hours of consultation a week. This hospital is outrageous!"
Ning Wu smiled and said, "But this hospital has been open for decades, and it is just as they said, with no negative reviews."
Shen Dinghai didn't know what these words made him think of, and suddenly he shuddered.
Ran Ran pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "If Lao He wants to go to the hospital to visit his sister, which way will he take?"
"Cousin, why are you asking this all of a sudden? We can't visit Lao He's sister right now."
"I'm wondering about one thing. What other characteristics do you have of Lao He besides his taciturnity?"
Shen Dinghai answered first, "I care about my sister a lot."
Ning Wu raised his eyebrows, "I care about the puppy too."
Ran Ran nodded, "From what I can see so far, at least there are people on the ground who know about Lao He's adoption of stray dogs."
"But no one knew that he had a seriously ill sister in the hospital."
Shen Dinghai didn't think there was anything strange about this. "That means Lao He deliberately concealed it because he wanted to protect his sister."
Ran Ran shook her head, "My focus is not on this."
"Many people on the construction site knew that Lao He kept a dog. Lao He even had a fight with Li Yang over the stray dog he kept."
"But until now, we have not heard from any of the workers where Lao Hewei usually keeps stray dogs."
Shen Dinghai tried to follow Ran Ran's train of thought, "Are we going to find this location now?"
Ran Ran pondered for a while, "I think we can try to see if this place exists on the way to the hospital?"
Shen Dinghai exclaimed, "What kind of logic is this?"
Ran Ran said calmly, "There are only so many rest hours on the construction site every day. It can be said that every worker is a busy man."
"For Lao He, on Wednesday, he needed to complete two tasks during this short free time: visiting his sister in the hospital and feeding stray puppies."
"This is just my guess. I think Lao He would choose this location on the way to the hospital for convenience."
Shen Dinghai frowned and thought, "Cousin, what you said is not unreasonable, and the logic is smooth, but why can't I think of it?"
"To restore the truth is to find the one that is consistent with the facts from among the many possibilities that arise from your thoughts."
Ranran looked at Ning Wu again, and Ning Wu was still smiling gently.
"I have no problem with your decision."
Ran Ran was about to make the final decision, "Then let's go to Sacred Heart Hospital now."
Shen Dinghai was panicking. Although he also felt that the Sacred Heart Hospital was strange, this matter was not within the scope of their investigation at the moment.
"Things on the construction site are a mess, and I don't have time to be distracted by this broken hospital. It's just like people can't help every poor person."
"Things have to be done one at a time. You can't become fat in one go!"
Shen Dinghai kept talking, and Ranran could feel that he was trying to convince herself.
"Besides, some things are beyond our capabilities. Even if we want to intervene, we have to rely on our own strength to do so."
Ran Ran couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Does this hospital scare you so much?"
Shen Dinghai made a bitter face, "The hospital itself is scary enough!"
Ran Ran patted his hand soothingly, "Don't worry, we just want to roughly simulate Lao He's route. We are not really going to the hospital."
Shen Dinghai finally put his heart back into his stomach. On the way to the hospital, Shen Dinghai suddenly realized.
"Cousin, you want to find the stray dogs that Lao He feeds. Do you hope that these puppies can lead us to find Lao He?"
He frowned as soon as he finished speaking, "This, this, this... is unlikely..."
Ran Ran didn't answer immediately, but smiled.
"Everything has a soul, and puppies are very spiritual creatures."
Shen Lihai took these words to heart and was silent for a while before speaking again.
"Could the person the puppy lead us to be Lao He himself, or Lao He's..."
He couldn't continue talking.
In fact, after deducing that the case was most likely committed by Sun Zhiqiang, the three of them had a vague idea of Lao He's whereabouts.
Lao He is missing, which is roughly equivalent to...
Old He is dead.
There must be a reason why Sun Zhiqiang chose Lao He as the target of frame-up in the first place.
He must have expected that Lao He would not come out to refute.
So where did this certainty come from? It can only mean that Lao He is dead.
Dead people cannot speak.
The group walked along the road for a long time without leaving the Shengxiu Building. Occasionally a car would speed by, immediately stirring up the dust on the ground.
Shen Dinghai choked and waved his hand in disgust.
Ran Ranran didn't react much, but couldn't help but sigh, "The Shengxiu Building is really big."
This sentence inexplicably reminded Shen Dinghai of what Wang Laowu, the young child, had said.
"They built the tall buildings, but they have no right to live in them."
The three of them were silent.
Suddenly, I seemed to hear a dog barking.
Shen Dinghai was very surprised, his eyes lit up, "Cousin! The dog appeared!"
"It's just a dog barking. You can't assume that it's Lao He's dog just because you hear it barking." Ning Wu smiled faintly, but the corners of his mouth were curled up with sarcasm.
Shen Dinghai knew that he was not on good terms with him, so he retorted whatever he said and immediately ignored him, just moving forward following the sound of the barking dog.
Ranran naturally went along.
The situation they are in now obviously makes it impossible for them to find faults rather than let them go.
But what Ning Wu said does need to be considered.
How can they determine whether these stray dogs are related to Lao He?
The path of the three people gradually deviated from the main road and turned into a remote and desolate path.
The path twists left and right, and narrow alleys gradually appear in front of us.
"Is this really the right road? I don't even know where we are..." Shen Dinghai looked around in panic.
Going further ahead was a blocked dead end. Just as Ranran was about to retreat, he saw that the way was blocked by a big yellow dog.
It was staring at the three people eagerly.
Before the three of them could figure out how to deal with this situation, the big yellow dog suddenly raised its head and howled, like a wolf king summoning his companions.
Suddenly, the narrow alley was filled with the barking of dogs, some louder and some softer, coming from all directions.
It vibrates as if countless drumsticks are hitting the drum at the same time.
Shen Dinghai glanced at Ran Ran in horror.
"Such an organized and disciplined team, it can't be led by Lao He! Could it be that we have provoked..."
"【Local Gang】?!"
