Chapter 56: Discovery
"Ding Shan, hello!" Bai Sheng walked up to the middle-aged man and stopped him.
Ding Shan looked at the young man in shorts and short sleeves in front of him, he had never seen it before, and asked suspiciously, "Are you?" Are you looking for me? I don't seem to know you! ”
"My name is Bai Sheng, and I am a friend of Wei Zijian!" Bai Sheng deliberately bit the three words "Wei Zijian" very hard, as if he had expected Ding Shan to ask this question. Ding Shan was stunned for a moment, and then stopped.
As soon as the others heard this name, they immediately distanced themselves from Bai Sheng, and they all avoided him around the bend, not giving him time to stop at all. Everyone tightened their belts, hid their money, and didn't give Bai Sheng any chance to borrow money like a plague god.
The workers walked a little farther away, and then they breathed a sigh of relief, and they couldn't help but get up with their daily routines, discussing how Wei Zijian found someone to borrow money, and how he didn't pay it back.
"Can we change places and talk?" There are many people, and Bai Sheng doesn't want to go wrong.
"Okay, let's go over there!" Ding Shan pointed to the edge of the house and called a young man who had just passed by, Xiao Lin, and asked him to help him cook the meal first.
Ding Shan led the way in front and led Bai Sheng to the bottom of the house they were building just now. The workers wanted to eat, so naturally they all left. In a shady place under the huge house, Ding Shan and Bai Sheng stood opposite each other.
Ding Shan didn't look like he wanted to escape, since the moment Bai Sheng said "Wei Zijian", he knew that he was in trouble.
"You're here to find Wei Zijian, right? He didn't come to work today! It's useless for you to ask me, and I don't know where he is now? Ding Shan got straight to the point and said directly, "You are here to collect usury, I still have some money here, you take it first, and it will be the interest that Wei Zijian repays." ”
As he spoke, Ding Shan opened his shriveled pockets, took out all the money, picked out all the red and green heads, and handed them to Bai Sheng, leaving only three or two 10 yuan bills for himself.
Bai Sheng looked at the wrinkled six or seven hundred yuan, and was speechless. He still knows something about the things on the construction site: the workers eat and live on the construction site, and they generally don't have much money, and most of them advance a thousand yuan at one time to buy cigarettes, smoke, drink wine, and occasionally go out at night to improve their food.
Without saying a word, Ding Shan took out all his money and paid off Wei Zijian's debts, completely ignoring his expenses for the next half a month, which surprised Bai Sheng.
This guy is too righteous! Could it be that Wei Zijian is really a good person?
Looking at Ding Shan's personality, Bai Sheng pushed Wei Zijian, I think he shouldn't be so bad. In the game, Wei Zijian is lustful, and Bai Sheng can understand it, because as long as he is a normal person, he will want money; But in reality, Wei Zijian didn't think about his daughter, but went to borrow usury, Bai Sheng didn't understand, looking at Wei Zijian's appearance and not like a gambler's prostitute, how could he be short of money!
"Could it be that there is something hidden in this that led to Wei Zijian's death!" Bai Sheng believed that Wei Zijian would borrow loan sharks because he had no way out; And the reason for this is the key to his death.
"What the hell could it be?" Bai Sheng cleared his mind and found that this breakthrough was still on Ding Shan.
"Well, I'm not here to collect usury; And it's really a friend of Wei Zijian! Bai Sheng was very embarrassed, he looked at himself, he didn't look like a ruffian.
Bai Sheng explained as he tidied up his clothes, and then he looked like a student.
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake!" Ding Shan saw that Bai Sheng had been confiscating the money, and seeing that he was not very old, he really didn't look like a gangster, so he hesitated to get back his hard-earned money.
"Uncle Ding, I want to ask you, when did Zijian leave yesterday?" Bai Sheng was polite, and Ding Shan himself was older than him, so he also wanted to make more friends.
Ding Shan saw that Bai Sheng was so straightforward and happy, so he didn't think much about it, and didn't doubt him, but tried to recall, "Zijian, I don't know when he left yesterday." I was going to take him and go for a drink with me; But the overseer looked for him as if he had something to do, so I left alone. ”
"Overseer? Is your overseer called Ma Ben? Seeing that there was a sign, Bai Sheng hurriedly asked.
"Yes, it's called Ma Ben! Xiaosheng, you haven't been here before, how did you know him? Ding Shan looked at Bai Sheng strangely, thinking that he had something to do with Ma Ben. But thinking that Bai Sheng was Wei Zijian's friend, Ding Shan turned to joy, "Xiaosheng, it turns out that you are a construction worker!" You're probably here to find out about that, right? Let me tell you, Xiao Jian is really wronged, and it was not his fault at all! ”
"What's that? What's the matter? Bai Sheng asked, while explaining, "I don't know Ma Ben, but I just overheard someone say that there is an overseer here called Ma Ben." ”
Bai Sheng did not plan to tell Ding Shan about Wei Zijian's death at this time, because the body was not yet there, and no one would believe it; Of course, he didn't want to startle the snake, so naturally he didn't tell the truth. In fact, Bai Sheng had just seen Wei Zijian's signature on the pamphlet last night and Ma Ben's handwriting, so he began to suspect him. Now listening to Ding Shan's words, Bai Sheng is even more sure that the suspicion of this horse running is too great.
"You don't know?" Ding Shan thought that Bai Sheng was asked by Wei Zijian to help, but he hadn't seen any of Wei Zijian's friends come here, Bai Sheng didn't know the situation here, and it was normal, so he said, "It's just that the house is slanted, and this thing was discovered by Ma Ben, and it happened that Xiao Jian was there that day, so he said that Xiao Jian did it." ”
"Last night, Ma Ben looked for Xiaojian, probably for that!"
"The house is slanted!" Bai Sheng thought seriously: This thing can be big or small! Could Ma Ben just use this to threaten Wei Zijian? As soon as he thought of this, he immediately asked Ding Shan, "Uncle Ding, how did Ma Ben deal with this matter?" Did he use this to blackmail Zijian, or did Zijian's loan shark have anything to do with it? ”
"No, because there are not many mistakes, Ma Ben just let Xiao Jian do it again." Ding Shan thought about the situation that day before saying, "At the same time, he also reminded us to be careful in the future and not to make mistakes again!" ”
"As for Xiaojian's loan shark, I asked him several times, but he was always reluctant to say, so I didn't ask more. Xiao Jian is an honest man, I think he has a last resort, so he will go to loan sharks! ”
"It's okay!" Bai Sheng didn't believe it, and continued to ask, "Uncle Ding, how are your supervisors and Ma Ben on weekdays?" Do you want to gamble for money, or do some other weird thing? ”
"Well, there shouldn't be!" Ding Shan tried hard to recall what Ma Ben usually does, "Ma Ben is only in his thirties, except for the strict supervision; He doesn't care about anything else. ”
Bai Sheng was silent, according to Ding Shan's description, Ma Ben was really a promising man, and the clue was broken.
All in vain! Bai Sheng didn't think so, he didn't plan to give up, even if there was no road ahead, as long as he continued to walk, there would always be a road.
Bai Sheng stared at the unfinished building in front of him, he always had an inexplicable trance, as if he had to go up and walk around to solve the mystery of Wei Zijian's death.
Maybe it's intuition; Or the phantom, no matter what, Bai Sheng decided to give it a try.
"Uncle Ding, can you take me to the place where the accident happened that day?" Bai Sheng pointed to the building and said with a smile, "I've always wanted to stay in it and see how this building was built!" ”
"Well, you're not a worker here?" Ding Shan was a little embarrassed, he looked at Bai Sheng again, although he didn't understand what Bai Sheng was going to do, but he believed that Bai Sheng, this young man's sincerity, had always cared about Xiao Jian, so he didn't doubt Bai Sheng, and as long as he thought that the young man in front of him might still be innocent, he would no longer consider what the consequences would be, "Okay, but you have to be careful when you go up." ”
"Then it's troublesome, Uncle Ding!" Bai Sheng replied gratefully, he was really glad to be able to meet such a loving and righteous uncle and be able to become friends with him.
Bai Sheng smiled slightly, fate is so wonderful, all of this has to be thanks to Wei Zijian.
Ding Shan treated Bai Sheng as a little brother, and he put his work hat on Bai Sheng's head; Then, he led Bai Sheng to the elevator outside the building, and kept an eye on the surroundings to see if there was any wind and sand or railings or something, so as to ensure the safety of Bai Sheng, who had been extremely nervous.
The elevator reached the 13th floor safely, Bai Sheng looked up and down the towering floor, and he was very relieved: he had finally adapted to the fear of the peripheral elevator.
Ding Shan was the first to get out of the elevator, Bai Sheng followed, and the two walked in the building until they reached a pillar on the east side, and they stopped.
"This is the place where Xiao Jian was wrongfully crooked before!" Ding Shan walked to the wall, pointed to a horizontal wall, and his fingers crossed a straight line from top to bottom, "It was originally oblique, but it was made again a month ago." ”
"Straight indeed!" Bai Sheng compared the wall left and right, combined with the straight lines drawn by Ding Shan, looked at it from the perspective of physics, and found that there was nothing wrong with the newly built wall.
"Uncle Ding, why do you always believe that this wall was not Zijian's mistake?" The walls have already been repaired, and Bai Sheng doesn't understand why Ding Shan still insists on Wei Zijian without being mistaken; And with so many people present at the time, it was impossible for Ma Ben to wronged Wei Zijian openly.
The evidence is conclusive, even if Wei Zijian wants to admit it, it is impossible!
Ding Shan frowned, but he never doubted Wei Zijian, "Xiao Jian's craftsmanship, I can trust it." Although he is not a master, he can definitely work. Even if he is not careful, he will not be mistaken. ”
"Could it be that the person who made this wall the day before yesterday was mistaken?" Bai Sheng analyzed, "Or did someone make a mistake at night and deliberately frame themselves?" ”
"It can't be! We generally build walls one by one, there will be no crosswork, and it is impossible for someone to secretly work at night, because the materials are all packed up when the work stops during the day. Ding Shan hurriedly waved his hand, negating Bai Sheng's speculation. He was a little disappointed that Bai Sheng didn't know how to construct, so he couldn't return Xiaojian's innocence. He didn't blame Bai Sheng, he couldn't help an old worker, let alone a layman!
Bai Sheng can have this heart to help Xiaojian, Ding Shan is very happy, and he is also willing to make him a friend.
Grunt, grunt, Ding Shan's stomach suddenly croaked.
"Uncle Ding, you go to dinner first! Here, I'm on my own, and I'd like to stay a little longer. Bai Sheng was very reluctant to go, "I'm sorry, Uncle Ding, let you accompany me for a long time!" ”
"Alright then, be careful yourself, don't go upstairs!" was really hungry, Ding Shan was not hypocritical, he reminded Bai Sheng, and went down the elevator alone.
As soon as Ding Shan left, a man wearing a red hat suddenly flashed around the corner downstairs.
