deep white secret

Chapter 31 Old Cases
When Shen Cuifang heard that there was a problem with the meal, her head became dizzy instantly. This is already the Nth guest who has raised doubts recently.

Shen Cuifang hurriedly came over and explained:

"Sorry, I'll give you another one right away. My wife has been feeling unwell recently, so I'm sorry."

Shen Cuifang said, her eyes were red, she quickly put away Ningxia's portion of rice, rubbed her apron with one hand and bowed her head:

"Girl, wait a little longer and do it again immediately."

Ningxia agreed. Xu Jie stared at Shen Cuifang's back and put down his chopsticks: "I'll wait for you."

At this time, a guest at the table next to him shouted impatiently:
"Where's my cold dish, boss lady? What's going on today?"

There was also a young man at the counter who was holding a mobile phone and wanted to pay, and his tone was impatient:
"Houselady, your menu is wrong. There is an extra meal charge. Please take a look again."

Ningxia whispered to Xu Jie:
"Captain Xu, something seems to have happened in this restaurant."

Xu Jie looked around and found nothing unusual, and asked in a low voice:

"what happened?"

"Last time we were here, the front desk and kitchen were very tidy, but now there are many cardboard boxes in the corridor. The front desk has also cleaned up, and many decorations are missing. The boss lady has been distracted today."

"Let's redeem it."

Xu Jie guessed with a smile, and then asked Ning Xia:
"It's normal to charge money at a hotel, but I see you pay special attention to this hotel. Why?"

"Not at all."

Ningxia's voice was a little deep:

"I always feel that this old couple has a very good relationship, which is enviable."

Ning Xia said with calmness in her eyes:

"The first time I entered this store was the first day I just moved in. It was raining, cold and humid in those few days. I packed up my things and was hungry all day. I ordered a bowl of hot noodle soup, and it was very warm when I took a bite of the hot noodle. "

Xu Jie looked at Ningxia. She was actually a thoughtful little girl, not as indifferent and distant as she seemed.

"I was the only one that day. After finishing his work, the boss came out of the kitchen and chatted with the boss's wife. From time to time, the two of them would rub each other's shoulders and joke around. It looked very warm."

Ningxia lowered her head after speaking:
"This kind of long-lasting relationship is enviable."

Xu Jie wanted to say that you will also have such feelings in the future.

At this time, the proprietress put the rice bowl back on Ningxia's table and kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, girl, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you don't have to take it to heart."

Ning Xia comforted: "I see that there have been changes in your store, is there something wrong with the proprietress?"

Shen Cuifang smiled politely:
"We are going to sell the store. The old man is not in good health. We have to see a doctor and we are going back to our hometown."

Ning Xia glanced at Xu Jie and found that he was right.

But tears suddenly welled up in the eyes of the landlady, and Ning Xia couldn't help but ask, "Is the boss sick?"

"Well, it's a brain tumor. The doctor said it's not in a good location and can't be operated on. We have to wait, or wait until the symptoms become obvious before treatment. But the old man refuses, so we don't want to treat it."

After Shen Cuifang said this, she wiped her tears with her sleeves, her shoulders hanging even lower this time.

Sadness spread, and Xu Jie and Ning Xia felt depressed at the same time.

Shen Cuifang apologized:

"Because of this, the old man can't cook now, he can't taste the taste, and he's a little confused, so he keeps making mistakes. I hope you don't mind."

Until she walked out of Shenji Restaurant after eating, Ningxia was not in a good mood.

The unknown old couple made Ningxia feel a little ripple in her heart.

Life will not bloom because of your hard work, but it may become a mess at some point.

When Ningxia entered the office the next day, Shi Yihang and Ma Mingjie looked at her with probing and teasing eyes.

Ningxia touched her face:

"what happened?"

Shi Yihang pouted, and Ning Xia saw a large bouquet of roses on his desk, a total of fifty or sixty roses.

The red roses are wrapped in light green gypsophila, luxurious and graceful, and there are water drops on the petals, which are delicate and delicate.

Ning Xia walked to the rose in confusion and picked up the card:

Salute to the People’s Police!

Signed by: Lin Chengtian.

Instantly, a feeling of depression filled Ningxia's chest.

Shi Yihang asked with a smile:

"Ningxia, is Lin Chengtian launching an offensive now?"

Ningxia folded the card and held the flowers in both hands:
"I sent it to the conference room to pay tribute to the people's police. These are flowers for everyone. Let's enjoy them together."

Xu Jie followed Ning Xia, and the two of them did morning exercises and had breakfast together. This time Ning Xia did not refuse and took a ride with Xu Jie to work.

Xu Jie watched this scene and returned to the office without saying a word. Xu Jie walked out 10 minutes later:
"Ningxia, I have contacted Bureau Song. You and I go to the archives to check Zhang Qiang's files."

"Ma Mingjie, go to Zhang Qiang's house again and search carefully to see if there is any prescription for Zhang Qiang's medication. Shi Yihang will continue to expand the investigation of Zhang Qiang's social circle and ensure to verify each one."

"Zhang Lei, go to all the tertiary hospitals in Jinghai City to check whether there are Zhang Qiang's medical records."

The police archives office is on a separate two-story building in the police compound. When leaving the office, Xu Jie suddenly asked Ning Xia:
"Why did Lin Chengtian send you flowers?"

Ningxia shook her head:
"I don't know."

"Is he chasing you?"

"I do not believe."

"why?"

"Objective analysis, Captain Xu, you'd better stop asking."

"You just joined the criminal investigation team, so don't fall in love right away."

Xu Jie said it calmly, as if this was one of the requirements for joining the criminal investigation team.

"Well, don't worry, Captain Xu, I won't do it."

Xu Jie gave Ning Xia a meaningful look, and his mood returned to its original state.

The police in the archives searched for it and after half an hour found Zhang Qiang's intentional injury case file. After handing it to Xu Jie, the police said:
"Captain Xu, go to the second floor. It's quiet there and there's a big table where you can open the files."

Xu Jie thanked him, and it turned out that the sun was shining brightly on the second floor, and there was no one there quietly.

Xu Jie pulled up the chair and opened the file. Ningxia came over and the two of them read it together.

The case occurred in 2001, when Zhang Qiang was 28 years old and working as a workshop worker at Dayou Machinery Manufacturing Factory.

Because of a quarrel with a coworker in the same dormitory.Zhang Qiang and two other workers in the dormitory beat each other to death.

The three were sentenced to different punishments and sent to prison for rehabilitation because of the crime of intentional wounding.

During the trial, Zhang Qiang and two other workers identified each other, which made the case progress very slowly. The other two people appealed several times and identified Zhang Qiang as the mastermind.

However, Zhang Qiang always advocated that the three of them take action together, and the deceased was beaten to death by three of them.

In the end, Zhang Qiang was sentenced to 15 years, and the other two were sentenced to seven years and [-] years respectively.

One person was released from prison three years ago, and the other person's release date is three days later.

Ningxia looked at Xu Jie:

"Captain Xu, what a coincidence."

Xu Jie turned to the last page of the file and wrote the court's verdict. Because the other party was beaten to death, civil compensation was awarded, totaling 98 yuan.

Zhang Qiang was fined 48 yuan, and the other two were fined 25 yuan each in civil compensation.

Seeing this number, Xu Jie said:
"For this reason, Zhang Qiang's parents gave up on him."

Ningxia feels heavy:

"But where is the other party? He is gone."

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and the files were blown loudly, which was very similar to the mood of the two people at this moment.
