deep white secret

Chapter 17 In order to go one step further than you

He Peng raised his head and stared at Ningxia:

"Why? Now I regret that I was too slow to take action. I was only one step away from killing you too."

Ningxia lowered her eyes and curled her lips:
"So, you admit to killing Xu Ling and Lu Yuan?"

He Peng was stunned for a moment and then leaned back in his chair, showing relief for the first time in the interrogation room:

"It's okay, even if you catch me, I can't run away. I also know that this day will come, but there is no way to say anything you want me to do. You can do whatever you want with me."

Zhang Lei didn't expect it to go so smoothly, he opened the file and read softly:

"He Peng, male, 32 years old, from Harbin County, junior high school education, only son, both parents died of illness, unmarried, came to Jinghai City to work a year ago, worked in construction, sales, waiter and other jobs, now works in a chain supermarket Cashier."

After closing the file, Zhang Lei continued:

"Let's talk about the results of our investigation in Harbin County. After visiting neighbors and classmates, we know that you are withdrawn and like to be alone. When you left Harbin County, you had a foreign debt of 30 yuan, which has not been paid off yet."

When He Peng heard this, he smiled:
"Now that I've been caught, it's all over."

"But according to neighbors, you were once a filial child, and all the foreign debts at home were owed by your mother before she died of illness. He Peng, the last words your mother said to you before she died should have been to tell you to be a good person."

At this time, He Peng tried his best to move his body. He didn't know whether it was because of the incandescent light above his head or because Zhang Lei's words touched the depths of He Peng's heart.

"Based on our investigation, although you were a loner when you were in school, your classmates all spoke highly of you. What changed the trajectory of your life?"

He Peng had a vicious expression on his face.

Zhang Lei sighed and looked deeply at He Peng:

"We guess it was emotional disputes that made you hate women. The innocent Xu Ling and Lu Yuan were disfigured by you. He Peng, you don't deserve this nickname."

Zhang Lei turned cold and said the most important sentence. He Peng looked at Ning Xia, widened his eyes and said angrily:

"Yes, it's them, women who hate the poor and love the rich. They are all the same. They look weak, but in fact they are snake-hearted. They all deserve to die, deserve to die."

He Peng began to roar, and his mood was completely different from the arrogant mood just now. He Peng pushed the photos to the ground:

"I hate women, I hate them!"

He Peng pointed to Ningxia:

"Just one step away, just one step away from me killing you. I should kill you and make you like them. Let's see if you still dare to smile at strangers!"

"I disappoint you, He Peng. I once swore to the photos of Xu Ling and Lu Yuan that I would catch you. Now I really catch you. You are not one step behind. I chose to be a criminal police officer just to be more successful than you." That’s one step.”

Xu Jie had been standing outside the glass window of the interrogation room listening to the interrogation. When he heard Ning Xia's words, Xu Jie felt a ripple in his heart.

Although He Peng was always in a manic state, the interrogation went smoothly.

Although Ningxia didn't have much practical experience, he was more sincere and sincere. He often questioned He Peng from the perspective of the victim and He Peng's mother, leaving him unable to resist.

With Zhang Lei's rich experience and solid evidence, He Peng explained the motive and process of committing the crime intermittently, and finally pleaded guilty.

After He Peng's mother passed away, he not only spent all his family savings but also owed more than 30 yuan in foreign debt. He Peng was unable to repay it, so he had to work everywhere.

Two years ago, He Peng met a girl while working in a restaurant in Ha County. Although the two of them didn't make much money, they were inseparable.

This is He Peng's only emotional comfort after the death of He Peng's mother.

But the good times did not last long. A year later, the girl asked He Peng to get engaged and buy a house.

Money was put on the table for discussion for the first time in front of two people.

He Peng made 2500 yuan a month at that time. Not to mention buying a house, the two of them could barely maintain their basic living every month. The girl felt hopeless and proposed to break up.

So He Peng worked two jobs, slept four hours a day and worked hard to make money. Even so, he did not save the relationship, and the girl finally left resolutely.

At that time she said to He Peng:
"The happiest thing about getting along this year is that the two of us cook together, but we have never been to an amusement park or a movie theater because as long as we leave the house, we will lose more than half of our monthly income."

Reluctant to part with money, thinking that she would be like this for the rest of her life, the girl had no courage to face it.

From then on, He Peng failed to recover. A year ago, He Peng made frequent mistakes in the restaurant, either delivering the wrong dishes or getting into disputes with guests. The boss finally fired him.

He Peng then came to Jinghai City.

But life in Jinghai City is even harder.

The monthly income is just enough for his own expenses, just to make a living. The foreign debt of 30 yuan weighs on He Peng like a huge boulder.

Every time he saw a girl with long hair in the supermarket, He Peng would think of his girlfriend. The emotional emptiness made He Peng feel even more hopeless in life.

Later, he heard that his girlfriend was married and that the husband's family had a house and a car. He Peng thought about the living conditions that he would never be able to meet in this life, and his psychology gradually became distorted.

At this time, Lu Yuan appeared.

Everything is the same as the previous reasoning of Ningxia and the criminal investigation team, He Peng targeted Lu Yuan.

Taking advantage of his rest day, He Peng followed Lu Yuan and quickly learned her route home.

At this time, the evil thought kept growing in He Peng's heart, until he stretched out his sinful hand to the innocent Lu Yuan.

The reason why he chose a rainy night was that it was easier to attack on a rainy night, and the more important reason was that the day He Peng's girlfriend left him happened to be a rainy night.

After Lu Yuan was killed, the demon in He Peng's heart expanded rapidly. Knowing that he would be caught sooner or later, He Peng began to look for targets unscrupulously.

So Xu Ling was quickly locked in, and He Peng decided to take action again.

The reason why Xu Ling took away the food and umbrellas she bought in the supermarket was exactly the same as Ningxia's analysis: she was afraid of being discovered and the police would come to investigate.

He Peng's crime tools were placed under the bed in the apartment, and he had no place to dispose of them.

But after dreaming about it at midnight, He Peng was still a little scared in his heart.

Outside the glass window of the interrogation room, Xu Jie and Ma Mingjie had been listening quietly. Ma Mingjie couldn't help but curse:
"What a beast."

Xu Jie did the same. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and gently held it in his hand to hide his inner uneasiness.

Even after working as a criminal police officer for so many years, Xu Jie still couldn't remain calm when faced with such a perverted, cruel and inhumane criminal.

"Captain Xu, Ningxia is suitable for being a criminal police officer. He did a great job in the first interrogation."

Xu Jie felt a little better. Seeing Ning Xia sitting opposite He Peng, serious and calm, Xu Jie lowered his eyes and nodded in agreement:

"What happened last night..."

Ma Mingjie interrupted him with a smile and asked:

"Last night? What happened last night? The four of us arrested He Peng?"

Xu Jie patted Ma Mingjie on the shoulder, saying nothing.

An hour later, Ning Xia and Zhang Lei walked out of the interrogation room. There was a trace of tiredness in Ning Xia's dark eyes, and her expression was not relaxed at all:
"He Peng said sorry at the end, but what's the use?"

Zhang Lei sighed, and then deliberately teased:

"If an apology helps, why do we need the police?"

Ningxia smiled bitterly.

Remembering that Xu Jie wanted to talk to her, Ningxia tiptoed to the door of Xu Jie's office.

Knocking on the door lightly, Xu Jie's voice sounded inside:
"Come in."

Xu Jie was writing materials next to the computer. When he saw Ning Xia walking in cautiously, Xu Jie's clear and cold eyes narrowed slightly, he leaned back on the chair and asked:

"Are you afraid of me?"
