deep white secret

Chapter 60 You Grow Up
Ningxia walked into the police station lobby and looked back at the parking lot.

Looking at it from this angle, only the front of Lin Chengtian's gray BMW is exposed.

The policeman on duty saw Ningxia and said hello:

"Officer Ning just came back? It's hot outside today."

Ningxia quickly looked back:

"Yes."

"I just said that the female detective is really admirable. If I run clues outside in the summer, if my girlfriend would have been noisy and tanned."

Ningxia smiled, as if she had never paid attention to her skin color. When she practiced in summer and winter at school, she was far away from fair skin.

"Team Xu also came back five minutes ago. Your criminal investigation team's speed is really consistent."

The policeman praised him, and Ningxia looked at the parking lot again. Lin Chengtian's car had already driven away.

Walking into the criminal investigation team, Shi Yihang was reporting his investigation results to Xu Jie. The door of Xu Jie's room was open, and Ning Xia walked directly over.

Just listen to Xu Jie say to Shi Yihang:

"Ma Mingjie and Zhang Lei haven't come back yet, but from our investigation, there are problems with several people in Tianqi Company."

But Shi Yihang frowned:
"Team Xu, when I was investigating Tianqi Company's business, I found that Li Wenrui is indeed capable, but anyone who has conflicts at work has an alibi."

Ningxia's heart sank when she heard Shi Yihang's report. Could it be that the direction was wrong again?
Shi Yihang said distressedly:

"On the weekend of the 17th, Tianqi Company was engaged in team building. Each supervisor led the team, and the employees went to the suburban villa in batches."

Xu Jie didn't expect it, so he put his big hand on the table and rubbed his index finger gently.

"No, the murderer is among these people, but we haven't found it yet. It is impossible for Li Wenrui to be brutally murdered without any motive."

Xu Jie looked at Ningxia:

"Have you gained anything here?"

After Ningxia reported the conversation with Zhou Xiaodan, Xu Jie said:
"The conversation between Ningxia and Zhou Xiaodan further shows that this person is in Tianqi. If he is not a murderer, he is at least an accomplice, or..."

"Hire murder to kill."

Ningxia and Xu Jie said these four words at the same time, Xu Jie said coldly:
"If this is true, Li Wenrui and Zhou Xiaodan are really two couples. One planned to murder others, and the other was accidentally murdered by others."

Shi Yihang still looked anxious:
"Team Xu, how do we investigate? There are hundreds of Tianqi employees, and there is no time to commit crimes. How can we investigate them one by one?"

"Now that we have locked down Tianqi's employees, we will definitely find this person and let the murderer kill Li Wenrui. The murderer also has the ability to deal with corpses. How many qualified people can we have based on these two points alone?"

Xu Jie's words encouraged Shi Yihang, and Ningxia once again realized that in the process of solving the case, Xu Jie's burden was heavier than anyone else's.

"Shi Yihang, start with the top management. There is a simple way. You can transfer all Tianqi's investment business in the near future. Since Tianqi employees are unwilling to help us, we will start with competitors or investors."

Shi Yihang ignited his fighting spirit and hung the headset on his ear:
"Look at me."

Shi Yihang walked out and Ningxia stood opposite Xu Jie, but Xu Jie stood up and got closer to Ningxia.

"what you want to say?"

Xu Jie leaned on the table, crossed his long legs and looked at Ning Xia. At this distance, Ning Xia's little hand was next to Xu Jie's arm. Xu Jie resisted the impulse and put his hand into his trouser pocket.

"Captain Xu, I came out of the city hospital and Lin Chengtian came to see me."

Xu Jie listened intently.

"Lin Chengtian seems to be very knowledgeable about this case. Last time he provided clues about Zhou Xiaodan. This time he said that Li Wenrui is the only one in charge of the company's business. Several vice presidents criticized him and asked us to investigate."

Xu Jie frowned.

"Lin Chengtian also said that Li Wenrui likes to go to Fuhai Hotel to eat, and he often goes to entertainment venues. He is well-known in their circle as a womanizer."

Ning Xia lowered her eyes, Xu Jie said nothing, and the room was silent. After a while, Ning Xia said softly:

"Captain Xu, I think Lin Chengtian knows who the murderer is."

Xu Jie rubbed his chin:

"But that's all he ordered."

"Captain Xu, it was Lin Chengtian who sent me back just now."

Ning Xia looked at Xu Jie, his air pressure was a bit low, Ning Xia took a step closer to Xu Jie, and he could touch Xu Jie's thick hair by raising his hand.

"Captain Xu, when Lin Chengtian said these things, he seemed to be discussing the case with the criminal investigation team. In his glove box, there is also a record book for our investigation."

Ning Xia slowly recalled the body movements Lin Chengtian brought to her along the way.

"Team Xu, after I entered the police station building, Lin Chengtian hadn't left yet. His driving seat was right opposite the window of our criminal investigation team."

Ningxia knew that Xu Jie already knew what he was talking about, that Lin Chengtian was not pursuing him at all, that Lin Chengtian was missing his days in the criminal investigation team, and that Lin Chengtian's imaginary enemy was Xu Jie.

Ning Xia finally smiled wryly:

"In the game between Lin Chengtian and Captain Xu, I just happened to appear."

Xu Jie's door was open, and the two were about to talk when they saw Zhang Lei walking in with a thick stack of recording papers.

Zhang Leiyang raised his hand:
"Team Xu, Li Wenrui's electronic records for the past month."

Xu Jie said softly:
"Let's go. The clues provided by Lin Chengtian are also the direction of our investigation now. Be yourself, Ningxia, and don't be interfered by Lin Chengtian."

Seeing that Xu Jie was still comforting herself, Ningxia suddenly smiled:
"This is actually what I want to say to Captain Xu."

The two looked at each other, smiled and lowered their heads together.

"Team Xu, there is something to gain. Because we eliminated Zhou Xiaodan as a clue, there is someone who looks suspicious."

Zhang Lei marked the summarized call records and WeChat records and handed them to Xu Jie.

"This is the conversation information between Li Wenrui and a middle-level person in charge named Song Yuanan. There are thousands of them since last year. I checked Song Yuanan again. As a backbone of Tianqi, he will be promoted to vice president by Zhou Xiaodan."

Ning Xia looked at the WeChat records. Apart from the usual work requests, Ning Xia didn't see any problems.

Xu Jie was also watching, showing the same confusion.

"That's the problem."

Zhang Lei called up Li Wenrui's call records, and there were dozens of calls in the past three months.

"This phone number belongs to Song Yuanan's girlfriend. Because she met Li Wenrui at a company drinking party, Li Wenrui called her girl every now and then."

The three views of Ningxia have been subverted again.

"It's just that I haven't followed up on this clue yet. This is the record from my last investigation at Tianqi Company."

Zhang Lei handed it to Xu Jie:

"I asked many employees in the company at that time, and some people mentioned that Song Yuanan and Li Wenrui had conflicts at work, but they were all working normally. Because Song Yuanan had no time to commit crimes, I gave up this clue."

Xu Jie nodded:
"We did not make a mistake in excluding Zhou Xiaodan in the first place, and our initial investigation direction was correct, but we just failed to integrate these subtle clues."

"Captain Xu, if Song Yuanan is suspected, it also coincides with the conversation I had with Zhou Xiaodan. Song Yuanan is about to be promoted to vice president, which means Zhou Xiaodan wants to protect him."

"Shi Yihang, you can keep things simple and concentrate on investigating Song Yuanan."

There is another direction of investigation in the case. Everyone is very happy. Ningxia can't help but feel:

"When I was in school, I read novels and TV dramas. The detectives tracked down the murderer all at once, and then they found out after work. It turned out that the investigation was about repeatedly analyzing the known clues to look for clues."

Xu Jie nodded with a smile and said colloquially:

You have grown!
