deep white secret

Chapter 32
Xu Jie leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes lightly:
"There is no balance between love and law."

Xu Jie was immersed in the sunshine, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his handsome face was cast into a haze.

After a while, Xu Jie gently rubbed his cheeks with his big hands, opened his eyes and said:

"continue."

Ningxia took the dossier and read it carefully page by page.

Xu Jie said:
"I once suspected that Zhang Qiang's murder was related to this incident. From this point of view, the people who have been released from prison are indeed suspected."

"I'm going to verify. This man's name is Wang Zhuangwei. Although he is in Lin City, he is a person who has been released from prison and should be found soon."

Ningxia turned to the victim page and whispered:

"The deceased's name was Wu Yan. He was 22 years old at the time of the murder. Wang Zhuangwei confessed that Zhang Qiang was conceited and looked down on Wu Yan. He often snatched Wu Yan's money and things. The two had constant quarrels. On the day of the incident, Wu Yan resisted and angered Zhang Qiang, which led to the incident. tragedy."

Xu Jie looked up the photos of the scene. There were bloodstains everywhere in the simple and dilapidated dormitory. There were five pages of photos of the deceased and the autopsy report.

"When Wu Yan died, his chest was bruised, four ribs were broken, his spleen was ruptured, his skull was fractured, his brain was bruised, and his eyes were congested and ruptured..."

Ning Xia couldn't stop thinking. This was different from other ways of being killed. It took a long time from Wu Yan's beating to his death. However, during this period, the three people did not stop and continued the violence.

"Captain Xu, compared to Wu Yan back then, the process of Zhang Qiang's murder was even worse."

This sentence lingered in Xu Jie's mind for a while, and Xu Jie asked:
"What's going on at Wu Yan's family? Do he have any brothers or sisters?"

Ningxia searched for a while, pointed at the record and read:

"Wu Yan is an only son. His parents are working in Lin County. His father, Wu Qiming, was born in 1958. There is no record of his mother."

Xu Jie calculated softly:

"If you put it this way, Wu Yan's parents are at least over 60 years old this year."

The thought that flashed through Xu Jie's mind just now disappeared again.

"Where are they now?"

"No record."

Xu Jie looked out the window, pondered for a moment:
"If there are no clues from Shi Yihang and Ma Mingjie, we have to go to Lin County to at least meet Wang Zhuangwei."

"Captain Xu, can I come with you?"

Different from the heavy analysis file just now, Xu Jie finally showed a smile on his face.

After careful visits, everyone gathered together again for a case analysis meeting two days later, but the result was very disappointing.

"Head, I checked the tertiary hospitals in Jinghai City that can prescribe benzodiazepines, and there is no Zhang Qiang's name in the medical records." Ma Mingjie was very disappointed:
"Management in this area is now very strict. I also went to the Municipal Disease Control and Prevention Center to check the reports of major hospitals in the past three months. Because the drugs were purchased under real names and the patients had medical certificates, nothing was found."

"The murderer may also be hidden among these people. Starting from this aspect is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack, and it is not ruled out that the murderer is an outsider."

Xu Jie has now shifted his suspicion to Wang Zhuangwei, so Xu Jie is not surprised by Ma Mingjie's investigation results.

"Captain Xu, I've checked Zhang Qiang's social records several times. I've verified every phone call. Except that my colleague is a takeaway, there is no doubt."

Xu Jie rubbed his chin and lowered his face:

"Zhang Qiang just came out of prison and is a bit out of touch with society. In addition, his parents have ignored him. His social interaction should be very simple."

Xu Jie looked around at everyone:

"Based on the murderer's crime process and his relationship with Zhang Qiang, I now suspect that the murderer is probably Wang Zhuangwei, so Ningxia and I will go to Lin County tomorrow to confirm this situation."

"Boss, do you want us to act as a group?"

Ma Mingjie was a little anxious.

"There is no evidence now. Let's meet Wang Zhuangwei first."

Before leaving get off work, Shi Yihang approached Ning Xia and asked with a smile:
"Ningxia, it's been three days, and Brother Tian's flowers haven't stopped. Now when I enter the conference room, the scent of roses makes me want to eat flower cakes."

Ningxia couldn't help but smile at the corner of her mouth:
"Isn't it a bit high-spirited? So collecting flowers is not necessarily a good thing. When I go to Lin County, you can throw away the flowers."

"I don't dare to make any mistakes. You can take care of your flowers."

Shi Yihang refused, hooked his long legs, and sat behind Ning Xia:

"Are you really unmoved?"

"Should I move?"

"Tsk, girls like rich people. Brother Tian is also good-looking. A project costs several million. How many years we can earn as a policeman."

Ningxia looked at Shi Yihang coldly:
"Did you become a policeman for the money?"

Shi Yihang was stunned and his smile deepened:

"I'm different. I like my job, and it's OK to generate electricity for love."

"That's it, let's not talk about anything else, who in our team is doing it for money?"

Shi Yihang took the headset off his neck and sighed seriously:
"Ningxia, don't you think your tone just now was exactly the same as Captain Xu's?"

Ningxia couldn't help smiling when she remembered that Xu Jie had said something similar.

The two of them get along well these days, doing morning exercises together and having breakfast together. Now Ningxia doesn't shy away from it and takes Xu Jie's car to work every day.

"Okay, I'm on a business trip tomorrow. Lin Chengtian can give them as much as he likes. If they're rotten, just throw them away."

Shi Yihang shook his head and asked mysteriously:

"Ningxia, you and Captain Xu...?"

Ningxia raised her eyes:

"What are you talking about? Captain Xu and I have nothing to do with each other. Captain Xu is my boss, leader, and someone I respect, that's all."

Shi Yihang stared at Ning Xia with his eyes open and his mouth open with a look of disbelief. He immediately looked at Ning Xia with a bad smile:

"I... just want to ask, what time will you and Captain Xu leave tomorrow..."

Ning Xia was stunned, slightly embarrassed, her face was hot, and she hurried to the bathroom.

After breakfast the next day, Ning Xia and Xu Jie set off for Lin County.

"It takes almost two hours."

Xu Jie carried the two people's small bags and put them in the trunk and walked to the driver's seat.

"Captain Xu, how about I drive and you rest?"

Xu Jie happily threw the car keys and walked to the passenger seat.

Today, Ningxia is still wearing black cotton short-sleeves and jeans, with her hair tied low with a rubber band and a black baseball cap.

Xu Jie couldn't help but ask:

"Ningxia, why do you like black?"

"Just like Captain Xu likes white."

Xu Jie chuckled. It was getting hotter and hotter in Jinghai City in June, so he wore white cotton short-sleeves and beige trousers today.

Ningxia reiterated:

"And Captain Xu not only likes white, but also likes to bathe in the sun."

Xu Jie recalled the past with a dull expression:

"The first case I came into contact with after working was the Yangwu Road corpse case. Bureau Song was in charge at the time. It was the first time I came into contact with a real case. I saw the perverted murder scene. To be honest, I was very panicked."

This was something Ningxia didn't expect. In her heart, Xu Jie was a criminal investigation hero, but Ningxia always ignored that Xu Jie was also an ordinary person.

"The sun was particularly bright that day, and the conference room was bright and clear. When the victim's photo was projected on the big screen, I unconsciously stepped into the sunlight."

Xu Jie lowered his head, recalling the past with warmth on his face:

"This feeling continues to this day, similar to hoping that darkness will be invisible under the sun."

Ningxia suddenly realized and took a deep look at Xu Jie. Xu Jie, who had always made Ningxia feel aloof, was actually not that far away.
