deep white secret

Chapter 21 The Sheng'an Street Murder Case

Ningxia didn't notice it, she kept staring at the back kitchen through the window, and turned to ask Xu Jie:

"Captain Xu, you come here often, have you noticed anything different about your boss?"

Xu Jie followed Ning Xia's line of sight, lowered his head and smiled:
"The left wrist was injured. I remember the chef was left-handed."

Ning Xia smiled knowingly, and it felt wonderful to be equally matched.

"Is this chef the boss?"

Xu Jie didn't know, so he looked around and asked Ningxia.

"Well, the couple's shop."

"It doesn't seem like it's been open for a long time, maybe a few months."

Ningxia shook her head:
"I don't know. I moved here not long ago."

At this time, the landlady brought what they ordered. When Ningxia saw the carrots in the beef rice bowl, she naturally picked them out and put them in a small bowl next to them.

Xu Jie ate very slowly, deliberately slowing down. Ningxia noticed this and was a little puzzled.

Xu Jie said:
"I usually have a case and I don't eat in time. I have to catch a suspect and deal with it in a hurry. So I usually eat slowly to take care of my stomach."

After saying that, Xu Jie looked at the carrots picked out by Ningxia.

Ningxia realized later, holding up her chopsticks at a loss. She wanted to say that she was not in the police force now.

Stretching out her hand with difficulty, Ning Xia showed an expression that she would never eat with Xu Jie again. The next second, Xu Jie poured the carrot into her bowl.

Spread it out with a spoon, scoop up a spoonful and put it in your mouth.

Xu Jie acted naturally, while Ningxia stayed where she was.

Because she doesn't like to eat carrots, Yang Meilan didn't eat them very much since she was a child.

After coming out to study, Ningxia threw away carrots when she saw them. The first person who noticed that she didn't eat carrots was Xu Jie.

So Ningxia didn't understand what Xu Jie meant by eating it. Was he afraid of wasting it?
Because Xu Jie said that everyone has the responsibility to cherish food.

Seeing this, Xu Jie emphasized:
"When we eat together from now on, remember to give me the carrot."

Ningxia took this as the captain's instruction and nodded obediently:

"Yes, Captain Xu,"

Ningxia accepted this task, feeling calm and calm, that's all.

The guest behind Ning Xia was fatter and took every opportunity to move his chair towards Ning Xia. As a result, Ning Xia and Xu Jie got closer and closer.

Xu Jie accepted it happily, but Ning Xia felt something was wrong and speeded up her meal. When Xu Jie raised his head, he could see Ning Xia's face close at hand.

Suddenly feel pleasing to the eye.

After eating happily, Xu Jie paid the bill and the two of them came out. Xu Jie asked:
"What's next?"

Ningxia felt extremely strange and could only think that this was concern from the captain:

"go home."

Xu Jie let Ning Xia go, and the two of them walked side by side to the community.

"Let's do some morning exercise together tomorrow morning. I remember you started running at 06:30?"

Ning Xia's dark eyes sank slightly, with a little doubt, she nodded in agreement.

Just as Xu Jie continued to find excuses to talk, his phone rang. After talking for a long time, Xu Jie finally said:

"Okay, I'll take someone there right away."

Xu Jie put down the phone and looked solemn:
"There's a case, we need to go to the scene immediately."

Ningxia looked at the two people's outfits, and Xu Jie raised his hand to look at his watch:

"10 minutes. Meet at the gate of our community in 10 minutes."

After saying that, the two of them started running together.

At 30 minutes and [-] seconds, Ningxia returned to the gate of the community and found that Xu Jie had changed into trousers and was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Captain Xu, why are you so fast..."

Ningxia couldn't think of any other possibility. He was already the fastest and didn't waste time going to and from the elevator.Even so, his heartbeat was still racing.

Then Xu Jie has only one possibility...

"You guessed it right, I have some clothes in the car. Let's do this next time. We live close to each other and we can go out together. You put a few clothes in the car."

In order to work, Ningxia did not shirk, nodded in agreement, and did not see an undetectable smile flashing across Xu Jie's face.

Xu Jie quickly started the car, and Ningxia asked:

"Captain Xu, do you know what's going on over there?"

"I don't know. It's a holiday today. The command center handed the case to the police reception room. Bureau Song directly instructed it to be handed over to our team. The police who received the police in other cases don't know either."

Ningxia didn't remember anything else, but Xu Jie blurted out that our group was a group. Ningxia's mood was shaken, and she glanced sideways at Xu Jie, but he didn't notice at all.

So Xu Jie subconsciously accepted her being in the criminal investigation team?
Ningxia is filled with expectations and feels inexplicably relaxed.

The two people quickly arrived at No. 120 Sheng'an Street, Taoyang District, where the accident occurred.

Taoyang District is an area on the outskirts of Jinghai City. It has a relatively large immigrant population and relatively old buildings.

There was no security at the place where the incident occurred, and there was a small square next to Building 120.

At this time, residents gathered outside the cordon on the first floor. Everyone came to watch the excitement and inquire about the situation.

Two police cars and an ambulance stopped at the entrance of the corridor. Xu Jie walked over and took out his ID.

The policeman extended his hand:
"Captain Xu, nice to meet you."

"Well, what's the situation now?"

"The name of the deceased is Zhang Qiang, male, 38 years old, living alone, renting a house, the person who found him was the landlord, who promised to maintain the sewer pipe today, but no one opened the door after knocking for a long time, the landlord took the key to enter the house, and found the deceased as soon as he entered. "

The police took Xu Jie and Ning Xia into the corridor and continued:

"The deceased lived on the third floor, and it happened to be during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. There was no one upstairs or downstairs. I just asked the neighbors on the left and right, and they didn't hear any fighting or other unusual noises in the past two days."

While talking, several people walked up to the third floor. This was an old house with three households on the first floor. The deceased was on the right hand side of the stairs.

The door was wide open. Xu Jie and Ning Xia were standing at the door. Two forensic doctors from the Forensic Medicine Department of the Municipal Bureau had arrived at the scene and were conducting on-site investigation.

Xu Jie pointed to the two households next to him:

"Have you asked these two families? Didn't you find anything?"

"Well, they all said there was nothing unusual. I was afraid that the criminal investigation team would come and ask questions, so I asked them to wait downstairs."

Xu Jie patted the policeman on the shoulder, meaning that he did a good job.

Ningxia couldn't see the situation inside the room from where she was standing. When she arrived at the crime scene for the first time, Ningxia's heart was beating a little.

Telling herself to calm down, Ningxia tried to analyze the scene first.

First look at the door lock.

There were no signs of damage to the door lock. The police just said that the landlord used a key to open the door, which means that the murderer and the deceased at least knew each other or had the key to the house.

Looking at the corridor, it was a mess, but the few cartons and boxes at the door were covered with dust, and there were no signs of being torn or moved.

At this time, a forensic doctor saw Xu Jie and walked out with a wave of his hand:
"Captain Xu."

Xu Jie was very polite:
"How about Korean forensic medicine?"

"After preliminary investigation, there are limited clues left at the scene. Only a few fresh fingerprints were collected in the room. I will write the details in the report. It will be up to Team Xu to solve the case."

Xu Jie nodded.

Forensic doctor Han pointed to the room:

"Team Xu, we have finished collecting evidence. You can go in. The deceased was tied to a chair, his hands and feet were bound, and a plastic bag was placed over his head before he died. He was suffocated to death."

Upon hearing the manner of death, Ningxia's first instinct was that the murderer was very calm. It could even be said that he was watching the deceased die little by little. This requires a very strong psychological quality.

Xu Jie asked:
"What about the time of death?"

"About nine o'clock last night, we have to go back to analyze the stomach contents of the deceased."

"Are there any other doubts?"

"We have to go back and analyze it, and a report will be issued as soon as tomorrow."

Thinking that the forensic team would have to work overtime today, Xu Jie said sincerely:
"Thanks for your hard work."

Take Ningxia into the crime scene.
