deep white secret

Chapter 16 Start today with humility and prudence

The next day, Xu Jie got up on time at 05:30 and saw that the rain outside the window had stopped. Xu Jie changed into his running shoes and was ready to go out for morning exercises.

Opening the door, Xu Jie saw a box of bento at the door, with a pink silk cloth tied with a bow. Xu Jie was startled by such a girlish thing.

Picking up the lunch box, it was still hot, and opened the bow. There was a white card inside, with colorful patterns on it, and a little girl chasing a butterfly.

There are only five words on the card:

Team Xu, I was wrong!

Xu Jie smiled, stretched his head to look left and right in the corridor, there was no one there, but he knew that Ning Xia hadn't left.

Opening the lunch box, two round rice balls were neatly placed in the middle, with sliced ​​apple, kiwi and dragon fruit pieces next to them.

On the rice ball, two pieces of seaweed eyes and carrot ears were cut out. This was the first time Xu Jie had seen such a delicate breakfast.

After sending the lunch box back to the room, Xu Jie walked out of the house.

Surprisingly, Xu Jie did not see Ningxia.

Xu Jie came back from running and received a message from Ningxia:
"Captain Xu, today I..."

Ningxia used six o'clock, and Xu Jie ate a rice ball in one bite. The rice grains were soft, and the rice ball still had the smell of meat.

“The rice balls taste pretty good.”

Xu Jie replied like this.

One minute later, Ningxia had another six dots:

"Then today I..."

Xu Jie laughed out loud, this Ningxia is really serious and stubborn.

"Add me on WeChat and report to me anytime if you have anything in the future."

Soon the message to add friends on WeChat came, and the two of them were stunned at the same time. Xu Jie's WeChat avatar showed Luffy baring his big white teeth.

Ningxia's WeChat profile picture is a lone wolf howling in the moonlight.

Ning Xia wanted to ask, how could Team Xu be so naive!
Xu Jie wanted to ask how much aloofness was hidden deep in Ningxia's heart!

When Xu Jie walked into the office, Ningxia was cleaning.

Today she is still wearing a black shirt and jeans, and her hair is tied up clean and refreshing.

"Good morning Captain Xu."

Ningxia greeted respectfully with a small rag in her hand.

Xu Jie saw that her eyelids were swollen and her eyes were a little blue and black.

"Can you interrogate He Peng today?"

Ningxia bit her lower lip, feeling a little surprised:
"It's absolutely no problem. Captain Xu, please trust me."

Then Ningxia lowered her eyes and whispered:

"Captain Xu, I know I made a mistake and I won't make it again in the future."

Xu Jie took a deep look at Ning Xia. The little girl lowered her head, squeezed the small rag tightly with both hands, her shoulders drooped, and apologized sincerely.

Xu Jie smiled from the bottom of his heart.

"Well, interrogate He Peng first, and then come to my office. I want to know how you discovered He Peng."

Ning Xia nodded. Xu Jie didn't really kick her out of the criminal investigation team, but Xu Jie's behavior last night still left Ning Xia with lingering fears.

Perhaps that is the real captain of the criminal investigation. Considering the overall situation, the arrest operation is not allowed to make any mistakes.

Ningxia truly knew that she was being reckless.

Watching Xu Jie walk into the office, Ningxia felt relieved and began to sort out the relevant materials for the interrogation.

Zhang Lei walked into the office and saw Ning Xia already sitting in front of the computer. He unconsciously glanced at Xu Jie's office and raised the corners of his mouth.

The same goes for Ma Mingjie. Xu Jie got angry last night, which really shocked Ma Mingjie, and he quickly called Li Xinyao to explain the situation.

Now looking at the two of them, Ma Mingjie and Zhang Lei looked at each other and smiled, making a tacit agreement not to mention what happened last night.

Shi Yihang was the last one to walk into the office. Hearing that He Peng had been arrested, he couldn't believe it.

"Really? Did you take action? How come I didn't know? Oh my God, after a sleep, the case is actually going to be solved?"

Zhang Lei quickly said:
"It's not good to close the case. He Peng will be interrogated today. You should be more energetic."

"How did He Peng catch him? Who caught him?"

Ningxia lowered her head and didn't want to mention it. Just thinking about how she would respond if Shi Yihang asked, Zhang Lei said:

"Team Xu and several of us arrested him together. Team Xu went to Ha County to find clues, so we went there to round him up. Unexpectedly, we actually caught him."

Shi Yihang gave a thumbs up:

"Team Xu has never disappointed anyone. How are you? Are you okay last night?"

Shi Yihang's question made Ningxia feel ashamed.

Yes, the Criminal Investigation Team is a team, each of which is indispensable. Xu Jie is absolutely right. This is not a battle of one person, but of five people.

"What could happen, He Peng didn't know about us at all, so he didn't have a trace of defense."

Zhang Lei didn’t want to continue this topic and said to Ning Xia:

"Ningxia, Captain Xu asked us to interrogate He Peng. Let's go and make your interrogation debut."

This time Ningxia did not express itself with enthusiasm. Being modest and prudent is the flag Ningxia has begun to set for itself.

The interrogation room of the criminal investigation team was in a separate room at the end of the corridor. Ning Xia told Zhang Lei to wait a while, went into the lounge, changed into a police uniform and came out.

This made Zhang Lei's eyes light up. Ningxia had been wearing casual clothes since the day of the report. Now in police uniform, she has a more heroic appearance as a policewoman.

"Not bad!"

Zhang Lei said to Ningxia with a smile:

"This is a beautiful scenery for our criminal investigation team."

Ning Xia stared at her black eyes seriously, her eyes clean and firm:

"This is my first time interrogating a prisoner, and I have to take it seriously."

Zhang Lei laughed:
"Let's go."

He Peng was sitting in the interrogation room at this time. His sweat and the humid weather after the rain in Jinghai made He Peng's body exude a sour smell.

Ning Xia and Zhang Lei walked in, He Peng raised his eyes and stared at Ning Xia.

Ningxia Zhengzheng Hat introduces itself:

"I am Ningxia, a police officer from the Jinghai City Criminal Investigation Detachment. I now suspect that you are related to two criminal cases. If you have something to say, we are all ears."

"No."

He Peng turned his head with disdain on his face.

"We already have a lot of evidence. He Peng, what you say now is very different from what you will say later. Are you really not going to give yourself another chance?"

After Zhang Lei finished speaking, he smiled and sat opposite He Peng:

"He Peng, although we arrested you, if you tell the truth, it is also your chance to confess and be lenient!"

He Peng was indifferent.

Ning Xia raised a pile of clues in her hand and turned on the lights in the interrogation room. The incandescent light illuminated the room brightly. Stimulated by the strong light, He Peng quickly shielded his eyes.

At this time, Ningxia spread the photos of Lu Yuan and Xu Ling's murder scene on the table.

Ningxia has seen these two photos countless times, and now looking at them in front of He Peng, Ningxia still can't hold back the ups and downs.

Ning Xia and Zhang Lei didn't speak for a long time.

He Peng glanced at the photo, looked away, but slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a sarcastic smile.

Ningxia said sadly:

"This is a photo of the scene. These two girls didn't know you and had no enmity with you, but you brutally killed them. Why?"

He Peng said nothing.

"Xu Ling has just arrived in Jinghai City three years ago. She is an only daughter in the family. Xu Ling's wish is to bring her elderly parents to Jinghai City to live together. Because of you, she has nothing."

He Peng remained motionless.

"Xu Ling's father has been crying all day, and Xu Ling's mother has been admitted to a local hospital. Why? What right do you have to change the fate of others?"

Ningxia is very excited:
"I don't know what you have gone through to make such a choice, He Peng. Human life is equally precious. Why on earth did you kill them cruelly?"
