deep white secret

Chapter 14 He is here

Ningxia has been training new employees all day long.

As the clouds gathered and thickened in the afternoon, the entire Jinghai City ushered in showers after four days of sunshine.

The rain was not heavy, but the sky was dark and there was thunder. Ningxia walked out of the police training center at 03:30.

In the afternoon, He Peng sent a message to Ningxia and asked her what time she would get off work. Ningxia was already ready to face He Peng directly.

So today Ningxia wore jeans, a black three-quarter sleeve T-shirt, and flat canvas shoes.

Not sure whether He Peng would act, Ningxia decided to meet him and was confident that he could subdue him.

At five o'clock, Ningxia walked to the door of a company on Shanping Street, which was the work address she had falsely told He Peng.

Looking around, there was nothing special. Ningxia was holding an umbrella and mingling with the crowd, pretending to have just gotten off work from the company.

Twenty minutes later, Ningxia is still 10 meters away from the Shanping Street convenience store.

The rain was heavier at this time, but it was still early and dark. There were still many pedestrians on the street, and Ningxia did not see He Peng.

Are you wrong?

So Ningxia went into a restaurant, ordered a plate of cabbage dumplings, and slowly killed the time.

At this time, Ningxia was still glad that she had not reported her suspicions and findings to Xu Jie. As time went by, Ningxia became even more uncertain.

Isn't He Peng the murderer?Did your analysis make a mistake?Or maybe He Peng won't take action tonight?
Ningxia couldn't think of anything wrong, and all clues pointed to He Peng. Ningxia still firmly believed that He Peng was the murderer.

There has been no message on the phone, and Xu Jie has not notified the meeting. Ningxia analyzed that if Xu Jie did not attend the meeting, it meant that he had not found any clues in Ha County.

At 06:30, Ningxia walked out of the hotel, held up an umbrella, and walked to the door of the convenience store. When Ningxia looked inside, the girl was on duty tonight and He Peng was not there.

Ningxia withdrew her gaze and looked at the Shanping Street bus stop. The rain was already heavy. Ningxia's trouser legs were soaked by the wind and the tips of her shoes were soaked with rainwater.

Glancing at the closed room, Ningxia saw a pair of dark sneakers peeking out from under the seat at the bus stop.

Exactly the same as the murderer captured in the surveillance video.

Ning Xia suppressed her racing heart and took a deep breath.

Here he comes!He really came!

Ning Xia walked towards the community where Xu Ling lived on Shanping Street without squinting.

Walking uphill and crossing ten steps, Ningxia knew that the people behind her were following her.

When he walked to the location of the surveillance video, Ning Xia deliberately stopped, pretended to pack his backpack, and was ready to catch He Peng.

Then, Ning Xia walked towards the passage where Xu Ling was killed.

She pulled back the cordon and ran inside, pretending to take a shortcut.

The man behind followed, Ning Xia slowed down, and when the two of them were still five steps away, Ning Xia squatted suddenly and saw Bai Huanghuang's sharp knife passing by.

Ning Xia threw the umbrella aside and threw a left hook. There were footsteps from the direction of the man behind him, and several people poured into the passage in an instant.

But the rain was so heavy that Ningxia couldn't see anyone coming.

"Put down your weapons! We are the police!"

It was Xu Jie's voice.

Ningxia shouted:

"Captain Xu, it's me!"

Xu Jie was obviously stunned.

"He Peng, raise your hands, you are surrounded!"

The sound of rain and wind blew Xu Jie's words away, but He Peng ignored it. He raised his sharp knife and began to wave it indiscriminately. The aisle was only two meters wide, and Ning Xia rushed towards He Peng with his bare hands.

The first stroke of He Peng's knife hit the wall, and Ning Xia punched He Peng in the jaw. He tilted his head, bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and Ning Xia lifted the hood of his raincoat.

The second time He Peng's knife slashed across Ning Xia's neck, Ning Xia leaned over and dodged another knife blow. At this time, Ning Xia's left leg had exerted its strength and kicked He Peng over.

He Peng fell on his back and dropped the sharp knife in his hand. He turned over and was about to get up. Xu Jie rushed over to him and pinned him to the ground.

"It turns out you are a policeman, it turns out you did it on purpose."

He Peng was struggling and yelling at Ningxia.

Xu Jie took out the handcuffs, but the passage was dark. Ningxia was surrounded by the joy of victory. She didn't see the frost forming on Xu Jie's face.

Ningxia was soaked to the skin. He Peng was wearing a raincoat and his hat came off, revealing his vicious face.

The rain hit his face exactly like the night Xu Ling and Lu Yuan were killed.

Ningxia was very excited. At this moment, she didn't know that a storm would greet her.

Ma Mingjie and Zhang Lei ran over from behind Xu Jie, completely in disbelief:

"Ningxia, why is it you?"

Ma Mingjie said and handed over the umbrella, and several people stood in the passage with their hearts surging.

"Go back to the police station first and interrogate him overnight."

Ning Xia looked at Xu Jie. The heavy rain filled her eyes, and Xu Jie's expression could not be seen clearly, but Xu Jie's tone was not good.

After returning to the bureau, Ning Xia received compliments from Zhang Lei and Ma Mingjie. Ning Xia also told the entire story of how she took the initiative to arrest He Peng.

When he heard that He Peng had targeted Ningxia as his next target, Zhang Lei said earnestly:

"Don't tell me, Ningxia, you are really brave. It is different from how you look. Knowing that you are number one in the province, you are really brave. You are a bit like Captain Xu in this aspect."

Ningxia was very happy that Zhang Lei was able to connect her with Xu Jie. Ningxia felt that she was one step closer to her goal of joining the criminal investigation team.

It’s just that Xu Jie’s door was closed tightly. After arresting He Peng, Xu Jie kept calling.

Half an hour later, Ning Xia was called to the office by Xu Jie.

As soon as she entered the office, Ning Xia felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Xu Jie stood leaning against the window and stared at herself coldly.

There was also a faint smell of tobacco in the room.

"Captain Xu!"

"Pack up your things and leave!"

"Captain Xu?"

Ning Xia was startled and opened her eyes, her dark eyes full of surprise.

Xu Jie glanced at Ning Xia. She had just wiped her wet hair with a towel and had two strands attached to her forehead. She looked simple and clean.

But this is the girl who just faced a criminal suspect alone, a suspect in a serial murder case.

Xu Jie couldn't tolerate it.

"Tell me what you did?"

"Catch He Peng!"

"You think you're heroic?"

"I suspect He Peng, but there is no evidence. It happens to be raining tonight. I think this is an opportunity to catch him!"

"Are you going to use your own efforts to catch suspects in the future as long as there is no evidence?"

"Captain Xu!"

There was a thunder in the sky, and the white light of lightning flashed through the window, and Ning Xia took a step forward.

"I captured He Peng, and my analysis was correct."

Ningxia had been in contact with Xu Jie for three days, and she often saw him smiling. At this moment, Xu Jie had his eyes raised and his brows knitted together.

Xu Jie had a tired look on his face because he had been running around all day and had been caught in the rain just now.

The sleeves of his white shirt were rolled up to his forearms. Xu Jie was half leaning on the window sill, with bulging veins on the back of his hands. Behind him, there was pouring rain outside the window.

Ning Xia's heart was also filled with turmoil. She raised her head and denied Xu Jie's words in her heart.

Ning Xia felt that she was right. After catching He Peng, she had a chance to stay in the criminal investigation team. She just wanted to take this opportunity to express herself, and she succeeded.

Staring at Ning Xia's dark eyes, Xu Jie knew that she was not convinced. This girl was too confident, but is confidence only what criminal investigation needs?
No, it's about fighting criminals while protecting yourself and working as a team.

This girl has completely separated herself from the group. So when the police go out in the future, she will only care about herself and rush forward alone?
