deep white secret

Chapter 18 26 days left
Ning Xia's heart flickered and she looked at Xu Jie.

Xu Jie's eyes were shining, and he was holding a water-based pen in his hand, tapping the file in front of him gently.

Xu Jie's nails were neatly trimmed, his big hands had distinct joints, and the skin on the back of his hands was a little tanned.

At this moment, Xu Jie's voice was gentle and his eyes were calm, as if the storm last night had never happened at all.

Ning Xia couldn't explain her feelings towards Xu Jie, so she said she was afraid of him?The emotion of wanting to be recognized and recognized by him is more.

Xu Jie is very strict?
There is one thing, especially when I force myself to eat carrots, I feel less like a leader and more like a male classmate who likes to play pranks in school.

Ning Xia didn't clarify her thoughts. Anyway, she was not afraid, but more respectful.

Besides, after listening to what Li Xinyao told her last night, Ningxia did feel a little impulsive.

So Ningxia made piglet rice balls in the morning, hoping that Xu Jie could give him another chance to stay in the criminal investigation team.

Without clarifying her feelings, Ningxia shook her head:
"Don't be afraid. It's my ideal to come to the Criminal Investigation Team and follow Captain Xu."

With this sentence again, Xu Jie gently put down the water-based pen in his hand and said:

"The rice balls are delicious, thank you."

Xu Jie's praise was full of smiles.

Ning Xia lowered her eyes, slightly curved her mouth, and her heart beat a few times:
"Thank you Captain Xu, I accept your criticism!"

"Ah."

Ning Xia stood opposite Xu Jie, tall and straight, her face serious and tight, her eyes fixed and respectful.

Hearing Xu Jie's hum, Ning Xia took a deep look at Xu Jie and then looked away.

At this time, Ma Mingjie knocked on the door and stuck his head out:

"Team Xu, Xu Ling's parents are in the reception room on the first floor. Lu Yuan's family members are also here. They want to meet you."

Xu Jie stood up and said to Ningxia:
"Just wait for me and sit down wherever you want."

Then he and Ma Mingjie walked out.

Xu Jie closed the door and Ning Xia breathed a long sigh of relief and slowly sat down on the sofa.

The case was solved and he could still stay in the criminal investigation team. Team Xu accepted his apology and was not angry.

Thinking of this, Ningxia sank into the sofa comfortably.

The morning sunlight slanted in from the window, and the leaves of several pots of pothos on the windowsill were swaying in the wind.

Xu Jie's office was empty, with a cold and solemn smell floating around. After the rain, the sky cleared, everything was just right, and Ningxia unknowingly relaxed.

So when Xu Jie returned to the office, he saw this scene. Ningxia leaned on the sofa, tilted her head slightly, and fell asleep.

In the morning, Xu Jie discovered that Ningxia's eyelids were slightly swollen and his fundus were blue and black.

She put breakfast at her door at 05:30 in the morning. Xu Jie didn't know how long it would take to make the rice balls, but he guessed right. She worked hard last night to stay in the criminal investigation team.

Xu Jie glanced at Ning Xia again. Ning Xia's brows were lightly frowning in her sleep. Thinking of her WeChat avatar, a lonely wolf, Xu Jie shook his head in his heart.

This is a stubborn little girl who refuses to admit defeat and has strong self-esteem.

Xu Jie did not wake up Ning Xia, but closed the door and sat at the table again. The case file report still needed to be sorted out, so Xu Jie quickly got into work.

Ning Xia was sleeping deeply. Xu Jie occasionally raised his eyes to look at her. He felt a strange feeling in his heart. He couldn't explain what it was. He just felt that the picture was very warm and reminded him of four words.

The years are quiet.

Ning Xia's brows were now stretched, and the epaulettes were touching Ning Xia's chin, leaving a deep mark.

Ningxia didn't wear makeup, and her delicate appearance showed toughness. She clasped her hands together, and there was still a trace of nervousness in her sleep.

This was the first time that Xu Jie saw Ning Xia wearing a police uniform. Zhang Lei said that Ning Xia attached great importance to today's interrogation, saying that it was the first time today to interrogate a prisoner, so she had to be serious.

Xu Jie can feel that Ningxia has a deep love for criminal police work.

Ten minutes later, Xu Jie's cell phone rang suddenly, and Ningxia suddenly woke up.

After seeing Xu Jie in a daze for a moment, Ning Xia stood up awkwardly, with a trace of blush on her face.

"Captain Xu."

Ning Xia lowered her head, terribly embarrassed.

Xu Jie said nothing, stood up with a smile, walked to the window and leaned on the windowsill.

Xu Jie was bathed in the sunshine, turned around, folded his long legs together, and asked Ningxia easily:

"The case is closed, now tell me, when we parted the day before yesterday, how did you discover He Peng?"

Ningxia took a step forward and stood opposite Xu Jie.

In this posture, Xu Jie looked directly into Ning Xia's eyes, and Ning Xia pursed her lips.

This time Ningxia didn't hide anything. It started by checking the two USB flash drive surveillance videos and described it in detail.

When she talked about her first phone call with Xu Jie and wanted to report the situation, Xu Jie was stunned for a moment, then stared at her and hummed twice.

After reporting until the arrest of He Peng last night, Ningxia stood at attention again and saluted:
"Team Xu, the report is complete."

Xu Jie took out the cigarette from his pocket, knocked it in his hand, paused for a while and looked at Ningxia:
"It turns out that I was also wrong. I missed the opportunity for you to report to me. No matter what happens next time, you know what to do."

Ningxia nodded:
"Report to Team Xu anytime and anywhere."

An alarm bell rang outside the window. Xu Jie turned to look out the window, and Ning Xia whispered in his ear:
"Captain Xu, I have a question."

Xu Jie raised his eyebrows.

"How did Captain Xu target He Peng?"

Xu Jie withdrew his gaze and explained seriously:
"Actually, just like you, we had determined the murderer's tracking route at that time, which either started from the bus station or from the apartment above the convenience supermarket, so I quickly traced He Peng at the Shanping Street Police Station."

Ning Xia lamented that on the afternoon of yesterday, she and Xu Jie had locked onto He Peng from two different directions.

"But the registration at the police station is very simple. I just know that He Peng lives in a rental house in the apartment. There are no other clues. I don't want to alert the snake, so I just went to Ha County yesterday, which is He Peng's hometown."

Ningxia admired from the bottom of her heart that in one day, Xu Jie was able to investigate so much material used in the interrogation just now.

Xu Jie continued:
"It happened to be a heavy rainstorm last night. I arranged to stay there to confirm whether there was any problem with He Peng. I didn't expect that he would actually take action again."

Xu Jie felt a little regretful:

"It's just that the distance was too far. It wasn't until you spoke that I realized that the girl He Peng was following was actually you."

Ningxia is shy:

"There is no next time. I will report everything to Captain Xu in the future."

"You are brave and strong, let me ignore that you are a girl."

Xu Jie is very sincere.

"No, Captain Xu, I've said it before, you don't have to lower your demands on me just because I'm a girl. I can do it. Please Captain Xu, give me another chance."

"I made mistakes too, and I hope you forgive me."

After saying this, Xu Jie stretched out his hand. Xu Jie's behavior made Ningxia feel at a loss as to what to do. She felt aggrieved and her eyes felt a little hot.

Generously stretched out his hand to shake Xu Jie's hand:

"Captain Xu, will I stay in the Criminal Investigation Team?"

Xu Jie tilted his head and deliberately teased:

"There are still 26 days left, but the piglet rice buns taste great."

Ningxia smiled slightly:

"If Captain Xu likes to eat, I often make it for Captain Xu."

Xu Jie smiled and said nothing, but pressed his palms a little harder.

Xu Jie's hands were big and warm, and the tiger's mouth on the palm was the same as Ningxia's. It had a thin callus due to years of shooting training.

Ningxia's hands are small, although they are slender and powerful.

The sun was very bright, shining completely on the two people. Xu Jie and Ning Xia looked at each other and stopped talking in silence.

　The case is solved, then I will write a few chapters about daily life. The man and woman have a good impression of each other. Looking forward to it...
