deep white secret

Chapter 101 The way of love is different

After hearing Ning Xia's words, Hu Jiatao showed a strong desire to protect:
"Why are you looking for my mother?"

Ningxia felt that Hu Jiatao was very much like himself back then, stubborn, with sharp thorns all over his body, guarding everyone in the world except his mother.

"Xu Dan was killed. We need a detailed investigation of the surrounding area. I am very happy that you can come. What you said to me also shows that you trust me."

Ningxia tried her best to soften her tone:

"Maybe there is a lot of helplessness in the world of parents, which is why you want to protect your mother. Apart from Xu Dan being hateful, I want to know more details."

Hu Jiatao bit her lip and looked at Zhang Sidi.

Zhang Sidi turned to Ningxia:
"Sister Ningxia, Xu Dan is really hateful. Aunt Gu is very nice and she used to be beautiful. But after she divorced Taotao's father, her whole person changed. It's all because of Xu Dan."

"That's why I want to meet her even more. Hu Jiatao said that the house may be the key to solving the case, but she doesn't know much about the house. That's why I want to meet her mother."

The two girls looked at each other, and Hu Jiatao nodded.

Ningxia knew that it was inconvenient to ask this little girl many things: for example, whether Hu Siyang had an affair during marriage, who owned the house, what other social relationships Xu Dan had, and whether Hu Siyang had any motive for killing Xu Dan.

These are the reasons why Ningxia wants to launch an investigation.

Zhang Sidi and Hu Jiatao walked out of the conference room, and Zhang Lei hurriedly came over.

"What's going on? What are you doing with Officer Ning?"

Zhang Lei's eyebrows were gloomy at the moment, as if he was disciplining his daughter. Zhang Sidi curled his lips and said to Ning Xia:
"Sister Ningxia, look at it. Apart from imitating my father, he is like this. It seems that I have done something hugely wrong. Tell my father, what did I do?"

Zhang Sidi was a little aggrieved, especially when she saw several people in the room, which hurt the little girl's pride.

"It's nothing, Officer Zhang. It's a good thing. I'll tell you later."

"Look, Sister Ningxia, this is my dad. Okay, I'm leaving."

Zhang Sidi picked up Hu Jiatao, turned around and left with an unhappy look on his face.

Zhang Lei was not at all as calm as he usually was when investigating cases, and sighed helplessly:

"be careful on the road."

"understood."

Zhang Sidi didn't even look back.

Zhang Lei looked at Ningxia and pointed to Zhang Sidi's back:
"That's it. He didn't say anything to me. He followed me every day when he was a child. He is older than me and younger than me. When he grows up, he will say one sentence and ten will be waiting there."

Ningxia had no such memories. She envied Zhang Sidi very much. No matter whether they were good or bad, quarrels or joys, she had no memories of being with her father.

"Officer Zhang, don't preach all the time. Children nowadays know everything. Just now, who do you think the girl who came with Zhang Sidi was?"

Ningxia deliberately betrayed her. Xu Jie, Ma Mingjie, and Shi Yihang all looked at her:
"That girl was the No. [-] girl who appeared on the day Xu Dan was killed, Hu Siyang's daughter Hu Jiatao."

"Number [-] at the crime scene? The one who left the footprints?"

"Correct. Hu Jiatao is very cooperative with the investigation. She will be very cooperative if her footprints and fingerprints are taken. She also explained clearly what happened that day."

After narrating the conversation just now, Ningxia asked Xu Jie:

"Captain Xu, what do you think we should do next?"

"According to your idea, you go to see Hu Siyang's ex-wife, and I will visit the upstairs and downstairs of Xu Dan's house. Xu Dan had a fierce fight with the murderer when the incident occurred. Let's see if the neighbors have any clues."

Xu Jie said to Shi Yihang:

"You and Ma Mingjie tracked Xu Dan's social relationships. According to Hu Jiatao and Officer Zhang's previous investigation, Xu Dan is also a woman with a story."

Xu Jie said it very tactfully, but everyone knows that the trajectory of life determines a person's destiny.

At least in the eyes of the criminal investigation team, Xu Dan's choice and approach to marriage were not very agreeable.

"Officer Zhang first chatted with Xu Dan's family, and then contacted Hu Jiatao to extract her fingerprints and footprints. We conducted a comprehensive investigation. Since the murderer is someone familiar to Xu Dan, he must be around her."

After lunch, Ningxia and Xu Jie set off together. Xu Jie went to Mingyuan Community, and Ningxia was going to meet Hu Jiatao's mother: Hu Siyang's ex-wife Gu Youmei.

On the way, Ningxia sighed to Xu Jie:

"Our last case, Liu Zhen, planned to kill Sun Yaqi for a year because of the house. How come this case is related to the house?"

"This is not normal. Houses can easily cost millions. Many people have to work hard for their entire lives. In the face of interests, family ties, friendships, and love are not worth mentioning."

"What about Captain Xu? What does Captain Xu think?"

"All my people are yours, not to mention the house. If the house makes you feel more secure in this relationship, I will definitely give you this sense of security."

Ning Xia stared at Xu Jie's profile and silently lowered her eyes:

"My ideal in coming to Jinghai City is to buy a big house and bring my mother here. Although this may not be my mother's ideal, her heart is all about the patients."

"Team Xu, do you know? When I saw Officer Zhang and Zhang Sidi today, I realized that there will always be misunderstanding between children and parents. It's all love, but the way of love is different."

"This is family affection and love. Just like Xu Dan, the relationship she chose doesn't know what it will bring to her."

"Captain Xu, after being a detective for so long, will you be disappointed in relationships? Are you disappointed in people?"

"Disappointed? No, I would rather marry you and spend this life happily."

Seeing that the topic was about two people again, Ning Xia smiled and shook her head, and Xu Jie said seriously:

"Having seen the coldness and cruelty of people's hearts, I feel that we should treat life kindly and keep our original intention in the great joys and sorrows. People do not become evil all of a sudden. I still believe that their original intentions are good."

Seeing that Ningxia was approaching its destination, Xu Jie finally said:
"But no matter what the reason, it shouldn't be at the cost of life."

The three "nos" reiterated Xu Jie's position and made Ningxia realize the sacredness of criminal police work.

"I will learn from Captain Xu."

After Ning Xia finished speaking, she opened the car door and waved goodbye to Xu Jie.

Walking into Gu Youmei's community, the surrounding environment is average. The earth-yellow building has red bricks exposed in many places. Residents who have added insulation layers and modified windows make the whole building look mottled.

Ningxia found Building 48 and rang the doorbell of Room 602, and soon a soft female voice came from inside.

Ningxia walked up to the sixth floor. The door had opened, and a woman in her 40s was standing at the door to greet her.

The woman wears an apron, has shoulder-length permed hair and is neatly styled, and is slightly chubby.

Apart from being nervous, there was no sparkle in her eyes and her attitude was humble. This was Gu Youmei's first impression on Ningxia.

"Is it Officer Ning?"

"Well, are you Gu Youmei?"

"Yes, yes, I don't know what that child Taotao said to you. I'm really sorry for asking you to come to me. Come in and sit down."

Ningxia walked into Gu Youmei's house. Compared with the dilapidated building outside, the inside of the home was very warm.

The house is not big, with only one room. There are two water glasses of the same style on the dining table. Both the shoe cabinet and the wardrobe are spotless. Something is still cooking on the kitchen stove.

It can be seen that Gu Youmei is very hardworking.
