Chapter 238 There is one person who can do it
From the time Sun Zhiqiang's body was discovered to the time Ranran and the others arrived, in just a few hours, Bai Xue stayed in the small tin house and almost cried all her tears.
When Ranran saw her, she could no longer cry.
Looking at her, Ranran could only see her eyes which were red and swollen to a somewhat scary level.
Ran Ran moved her lips but couldn't say anything. Ning Wu walked to her and put his hand on her shoulder. Was it a kind of comfort?
Only then did Ranran have the courage to move her gaze away from Bai Xue's lifeless eyes. She looked at Sun Zhiqiang's body on the narrow bed.
There was a circle of thick purple and black rope marks on the neck, exactly the same as on the bodies of Li Yang and Wang Laowu.
The difference is that Sun Zhiqiang's death was more horrific. Even though his life had disappeared, the living could tell from his corpse that he must have endured tremendous pain before his death.
Ranran's eyes swept across the area inch by inch until he saw the cigarettes scattered beside the small bed.
She suddenly felt an indescribable suffocation.
After yesterday's words, she and Sun Zhiqiang both understood what "smoking" meant.
What Sun Zhiqiang wants is not to smoke, he wants to live!
That's why Ranran made a promise to him that as long as he could explain everything clearly, living would definitely not be a luxury.
But Sun Zhiqiang is dead now.
Ranran broke his promise.
Her eyes were so cold that they seemed to freeze in an instant, "Where was the person watching here last night?"
Shen Dinghai was scared. "I have been here all the time and I am still guarding outside. Yesterday, you told me to keep an eye on Sun Zhiqiang, so I immediately asked my eldest brother to send four good fighters over..."
"All night long, they said no one had entered the house..."
Shen Dinghai's tone was cautious, but it still couldn't save Ranran's emotions.
"But now Sun Zhiqiang is dead."
"Yeah... How could this happen... The bodyguards are guarding outside, how could someone kill someone right under their noses without being discovered..."
Shen Dinghai couldn't figure it out. Ran Ran opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but as if she suddenly realized something, she quickly glanced at Bai Xue who was leaning on the bed.
Bai Xue was staring at Sun Zhiqiang's body in a daze.
Shen Dinghai noticed Ran Ran's eyes and almost screamed, "Cousin, you can't be suspicious..."
Ran Ran interrupted him, "Let's talk outside."
The thin iron door opened, and the moment the sunlight poured in, Ranran squinted uncomfortably. The Public Security Bureau had surrounded the iron house with a cordon.
If Shen Dingchuan had not communicated with them, Ranran and the others would have been separated from the cordon like the workers on the construction site.
Along with the sunlight came the workers' loud discussions.
Shen Dinghai quickly turned around and closed the door to prevent those outrageous speculations from reaching Bai Xue's ears.
Her husband had just died, and Bai Xue would feel bad no matter what she heard.
But my cousin's guess just now... Shen Dinghai followed Ranran with his eyes, and the three of them walked to the vicinity of the Public Security Bureau's car, and the surroundings finally became much quieter.
"Who reported the case?"
A capable female police officer with short hair stopped talking to her team members and turned to look at Ranran.
"As expected of you, the young master hired by the Shen Group. You are so young, but I always see you at the crime scene."
Ranran was familiar with this policewoman. She had seen her before when she was guarding the scene of Wang Laowu's death.
"My last name is Zhang." The policewoman extended her hand towards Ranran, without any intention of looking down on her, but this action stunned the team members who followed her.
"Captain Zhang usually ignores the director, but now he is so polite to a little girl?!"
Ran Ran shook hands back, but her hand was very small and she could only hold a few of Officer Zhang's fingers.
The handshake lasted for a very short time, almost breaking apart as soon as it touched. Ranran nodded politely, "Hello, Officer Zhang, just call me Ranran." Zhang Wei felt the soft touch that only belongs to children still lingering on her fingertips, and felt very strange in her heart.
It is really not easy for such a young child to not only have connections with the Shen family in W City and the Song family in H City, but also be recognized by the people in power in both families.
This is why Zhang Wei never dares to underestimate Ran Ran.
After the greetings, she returned to the topic. As soon as she talked about the case, the emotions on her pretty face immediately disappeared without a trace.
"The person who reported the case is Bai Xue, Sun Zhiqiang's wife, and the report was made at six this morning."
Ran Ran pondered for a moment and continued to ask, "What does the Public Security Bureau think of the case now?"
Zhang Wei raised her eyebrows, and a certain confidence radiated between her brows, the kind of confidence that did not arouse the slightest disgust, but only made people feel that she was shining.
"I thought that Master would not even think about cooperating with the Public Security Bureau until the end. After all, you saw us as passersby before."
"Why do you suddenly care about our opinions now?"
"I have to care." Ran Ran lowered his voice, "After all, these cases were all done by people. If it was done by something else, it would be easier."
"Every profession has its own specialty. If it's done by a human, of course you have to go to the Public Security Bureau."
Zhang Wei listened and nodded, "Master's judgment is consistent with the direction of our Public Security Bureau."
She paused. "I thought you would listen to the opinions of the workers on the construction site. After all, the opinions circulating among them are more in line with your expertise."
Ran Ran said truthfully: "We came late, and we don't know much about the workers' ideas. Please ask Officer Zhang to introduce them to us."
Zhang Wei looked at Ran Ran without saying anything. After a long while, she finally said, "It turns out that the young master is not sure about his own ideas..."
Ran Ran frowned and wanted to refute, but changed her words before she said it, "Humans are creatures with many different possibilities. Don't make your words so absolute."
"What the workers say among themselves doesn't affect me, but it is something I need to address."
"What is widely circulated is the truth. Regardless of whether it is true or false, my mission this time is to correct the false and spread the truth."
Zhang Wei probably didn't expect that Ran Ran, a ghost catcher who exorcises demons, would also be responsible for public relations.
"Master, your business scope is quite broad."
Shen Dinghai said confidently: "Do you think we can just walk away after we find out the truth? We are professionals in dealing with this kind of thing!"
Zhang Wei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Ran Ran's identity was mysterious and she didn't know much about it. But he was the second son of Shen Group and a hot new star in the entertainment industry, so it was hard for her not to know him.
Such a person is actually willing to follow a little girl around all the time, which shows the ability of this little girl.
A master of metaphysics? She always thought they were all Feng Shui scammers who were trying to fool people.
Zhang Wei thought about her father's sad face and an idea came to her mind.
Zhang Wei had a plan in mind, but she didn't show it on her face. She just smiled and said, "Whatever Master wants to know, I will tell you."
"The most popular rumor among the workers is that... Li Yang returned to his soul on the seventh day and killed Sun Zhiqiang by strangling him with a rope."
Hearing this, Ran Ran blinked slowly, "Time flies so fast, Li Yang's seventh day is almost here."
Shen Dinghai didn't understand, "Why is it coming soon? Today is the seventh day since Li Yang's death. Isn't it already here?"
"It is the seventh day since Li Yang's death, but it is not Li Yang's first seven days. To be precise, Li Yang's first seven days are from 11 o'clock tonight to 1 o'clock tomorrow morning."
Shen Dinghai realized something, "So it's impossible for Li Yang to come back to life and kill people!"
"But if it wasn't a ghost who killed someone, how could a living person kill someone silently under the bodyguard's nose without being discovered?"
Shen Dinghai recalled the look Ranran gave Bai Xue.
"Even if Bai Xue strangled Sun Zhiqiang to death, there would be no sound at all!"
“No one can do this!”
"No." Ran Ran looked at Shen Dinghai, "There is one person who can do it."
