deep white secret

Chapter 24 Team Xu's plan is slowly figured out
Ningxia took the phone, opened the email, and enlarged the file little by little along the screen of the phone with her thumb and index finger.

Xu Jie watched Ning Xia's slender fingers crossing the screen, his eyes were lowered, the corners of his mouth were pursed tightly, and a strand of broken hair was beside his chin, rising and falling gently with Ning Xia's breathing.

Xu Jie felt numb in his heart and quickly looked away.

"Team Xu, these are two forms, which Section Officer Yang took from the file records. Zhang Qiang, male, 38 years old, born in 1983, from Lin County."

Ningxia's voice was very soft, completely different from her appearance, and her speaking speed was also very slow. Xu Jie was wrapped in this voice and felt particularly comfortable.

"Zhang Qiang's high school education, the parents column is blank, but there is Zhang Qiang's mother's phone number in the social relationship."

"Well, what about marital relations?"

"unmarried."

Xu Jie leaned on the steering wheel with his elbows, listening and thinking.

"Zhang Qiang was released from prison on February 2, and has been working in Dafu Shopping Center since he was released."

"Personal situation."

"Let me see... here, Zhang Qiang is 1.75 meters tall and weighs 150 kilograms."

“Really robust, social connections.”

"blank."

Xu Jie was stunned for a moment in disbelief, then narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Why was Zhang Qiang imprisoned back then?"

"Intentional wounding was sentenced to 15 years, but he has always behaved very well. His sentence was commuted many times and he was five years ahead of schedule. Apart from these, there is nothing else."

Xu Jie took out his phone and contacted Zhang Qiang's mother according to the phone number on the file, but unfortunately no one answered the phone.

Xu Jie's thoughts were wandering far away, and Ning Xia did not dare to disturb him, knowing that he was thinking. After a while, Xu Jie raised his hand to look at the time:

"It's already five o'clock. There isn't much to investigate at this stage. We still have to wait for the forensic results."

The two returned to Mingyuan Community. Xu Jie enthusiastically sent Ning Xia home. What made Ning Xia very embarrassed was that Xu Jie had no intention of saying goodbye when he arrived at the door.

Ningxia tentatively asked politely:

"Captain Xu, why don't you come in for a drink?"

"Ah."

Xu Jie agreed without hesitation.

Ningxia didn't mind Xu Jie being a guest. He was her captain and someone she admired very much. But today at the Sanda gym, Ningxia realized that Xu Jie was also a single man.

This sense of oppression that she had never experienced before left Ningxia at a loss.

Ningxia opened the door and found that there were no slippers for Xu Jie to wear, and looked at him awkwardly.

Xu Jie was very clean. Ningxia noticed that Xu Jie's car and office were almost spotless.

Xu Jie smiled slightly:

"Next time I will bring my own, this time I won't go in."

Xu Jie stood in the foyer and looked into the room. Different from the pink-colored girl's room he imagined, Ningxia's room was cold-colored. Like her, she was calm and steady.

Apart from work, Ningxia didn't know how to face Xu Jie. She kept standing beside him and followed his gaze to look at her home.

"Tomorrow morning at 25:[-], let's do morning exercises together."

Ningxia readily accepted this instruction.

Walking out of Building 160, Building 161 was diagonally behind him. Xu Jie was not going very fast. He suddenly remembered what Police Officer Li said a few days ago:

"Xu Jie, if you want to be close to the water and the tower, you must first get the moon."

With a smile on his lips, Xu Jie walked to the bench in the community square and sat down.

The afterglow of the setting sun filled the entire sky, and many children were playing in the square. Xu Jie thought of Ningxia.

Stretching out his hand, there was still that warm touch on his fingertips.

Xu Jie took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a light puff.

It's not like Xu Jie hasn't thought about his emotional problems in recent years. To borrow someone else's words, Xu Jie has a high vision.

In fact, Xu Jie knew that he didn't have high vision, but he just didn't meet anyone who made his heart beat.

Due to the particularity of criminal police work, what Xu Jie has the most contact with is the scene of the crime and the suspects. Behind a major criminal case, what is involved is either profit or emotion.

Therefore, Xu Jie is very rational and very cautious about relationships. Xu Jie feels that if he wants to get along, he must get married for a lifetime.

Being responsible for yourself is also responsible for girls.

Xu Jie held the cigarette and watched it burning quietly. Ningxia's serious face appeared in front of him.

Xu Jie's heart softened when he thought of Ningxia's rare smile because he had subdued him.

This warm feeling spread from the tip of his heart and rushed to his limbs, making Xu Jie feel the early summer wind, which was particularly sultry, and his heart skipped a beat inexplicably.

Xu Jie stood up, and his plan to pursue Ningxia took shape instantly: he planned it slowly.

The next morning, Xu Jie deliberately shaved, polished his white running shoes whiter, and went downstairs on time at [-]:[-].

After the two-minute incident last time, Ningxia must be punctual as long as it is an agreement with Xu Jie.

So when Xu Jie went downstairs, Ningxia was already waiting for him between the two buildings.

"Good morning Captain Xu."

"morning."

Ningxia wears a high ponytail and black sportswear. She has a tall and tight figure, a clear and clean complexion, and a slightly curved mouth:
"Team Xu, do you want to compete?"

Xu Jie hesitated, he wanted to stand side by side with Ning Xia, so he shook his head:

"We still have to investigate Zhang Qiang's case today. We will focus on maintaining our physical strength. After the case is over, I will accompany you to the end."

In this way, Xu Jie successfully made appointments for all the morning exercises in Ningxia, but Ningxia didn't notice, and Xu Jie pretended nothing happened.

The two ran to the fitness park. Xu Jie kept a constant speed and stayed close to Ningxia.

The morning sun shone through the leaves on the running track, warm and long, and it also shone into Xu Jie's heart.

10 minutes later, the morning practice ended and Ningxia said goodbye to Xu Jie.

"Have breakfast together?"

Xu Jie pretended to be casual.

"Thank you Captain Xu, I made breakfast."

"Very good, your body is the capital of your work."

Xu Jie pretended to be serious. Ningxia stared at Xu Jie and had to ask:

"What does Captain Xu eat?"

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me. I wanted to treat you to breakfast today, so I didn't prepare."

Ningxia is a little embarrassed:
"If Captain Xu doesn't mind it, I just happened to do more..."

"Then I'm welcome. Let's do this. From now on, you can bring me a share of breakfast. I'll take you to work every day. It's also convenient for the police occasionally."

It's okay to take one portion of Xu Jie's breakfast with him. There's not much difference between Ningxia's one portion and two portions. It's just that he takes the bus to work every day, and Ningxia resists it in his heart.

"There's no need to take a ride. You can bring a portion of breakfast to Team Xu, no problem."

Xu Jie thought of Xu Xu Tuzhi and swallowed the next words.

So when Ningxia went to work, she carried a small lunch box, but she found a problem, the breakfast was cold.

Moreover, Xu Jie's breakfast was a bit late. After work, Xu Jie called everyone for a meeting, and it was already nine o'clock after dinner.

Ning Xia remembered that Xu Jie had said that he had to take care of his stomach when there was no case. Ning Xia felt a little sorry. It was not a good idea to bring food like this.

The Dragon Boat Festival holiday is not over yet, and Zhang Lei's daughter still has a few days to take the high school entrance exam, so Xu Jie only called Shi Yihang and Ma Mingjie to return to the team. Except for the criminal investigation team and the staff on duty at the forensic department, there was no one in the police building at the moment.

Half an hour later, the staff on duty notified Xu Jie that Zhang Qiang's parents had rushed to Jinghai City to confirm the body, and it was now in the reception room on the first floor.

Thinking of the phone call that never got through yesterday, Xu Jie frowned slightly and took Ning Xia to meet someone.
