deep white secret

Chapter 62 See you in Haixin Park

The early summer heat had not dissipated after the sun had set. When Xu Jie and Ning Xia walked out of the police station, the time was already pointing to seven o'clock.

"Captain Xu, let's go somewhere tonight."

Xu Jie narrowed his eyes:

"Fuhai Hotel?"

Ning Xia was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, Captain Xu really... the two of them can think of each other every time.

"Lin Chengtian has been pointing clues there, but I'm still afraid that we have overlooked something."

When Lin Chengtian's name was mentioned, Xu Jie didn't get angry. Instead, he walked on the right side of Ningxia, trying to block her from the summer sun.

"Captain Xu, if Song Yuanan knows who the murderer is, or conspires with the murderer to kill Li Wenrui, should we take action?"

"We'll ask Bureau Song for instructions tomorrow. We have no evidence now. Just the few words we just asked can't explain anything."

Ning Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"I still remember He Peng's case. I was so unconvinced by Captain Xu at that time."

Xu Jie smiled and opened the car door:

"now what?"

Ningxia didn't answer, but got into the car and turned down the air conditioner and said playfully:
"Prefer not to say."

Half an hour later, Xu Jie and Ning Xia walked into the Fuhai Hotel. Fortunately, neither the doorman nor the ordering waiter recognized the two of them.

Ningxia whispered to Xu Jie:
"Team Xu, Lin Chengtian said that Li Wenrui is a frequent visitor to Fuhai. What do you think this sentence means?"

"The literal meaning is the result of our investigation. Li Wenrui is a VIP customer of Fuhai Hotel and frequents here."

"Another meaning?"

Xu Jie thought for a long time:
"I'm afraid Song Yuanan and the murderer are also inextricably connected with this place."

Ning Xia’s eyes were filled with light:

"That's how I feel."

The case was about to come to light, and Ningxia couldn't help but feel a little happy. Although there was no direct evidence to support the two people's inferences, Ningxia was dominated by the intuition that Xu Jie often said.

"Captain Xu, if Song Yuanan is the murderer, how did he conspire with the murderer to kill Li Wenrui?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Jie laughed and deliberately did not answer. Ningxia was so anxious that she kept staring at Xu Jie like an ant on a hot pot.

"Ningxia, this is not like you. We have only inferred that Song Yuanan is directly related to Li Wenrui's death. I will not do such a thing unless there are clues."

"Ok."

Ningxia shut her mouth in disappointment. She hoped that Xu Jie could figure out the context of the case at this moment and tell her about it. She could look for evidence to prove these inferences tomorrow.

Until the food was served, Ning Xia's little face was still serious. Xu Jie wanted to laugh in his heart. He didn't know what other people's love was like, but his Ning Xia seemed to be focusing on the case.

Xu Jie was helpless. In order to comfort his little girl, Xu Jie said:

"Before you came to the criminal investigation team, no one asked me to analyze the case when there were no clues."

Ning Xia became interested when she heard this, and her eyes suddenly shone with light:

"I'm here, isn't it? Captain Xu, what do you think?"

"So, let's assume that Song Yuanan and the murderer are colluding. What would you do?"

"If Song Yuanan was not involved in the crime, he would first have to confirm the date of the murder with the murderer. According to Yang Zhuzhu, Li Wenrui only separated from her in the morning."

"Li Wenrui did not participate in the team building that day, which means that until the team building is over, if there is nothing else, Li Wenrui's time is free."

"The murderer made a date with him? They have to meet."

"But Zhang Lei didn't find anything special in Li Wenrui's call records."

"Is that a chance encounter? The murderer pretended to meet Li Wenrui by chance? Was he actually ready to kill him?"

"This is true."

"Where was the encounter? Considering the dismemberment, the murderer should have taken Li Wenrui to the place where he was killed. Captain Xu, this means that the murderer knew Li Wenrui, and Li Wenrui followed the murderer without any precautions."

Both of them were deep in thought, when the waiter came in with the dishes. The little girl looked at Xu Jie and then at Ningxia, and exclaimed:
"You are……"

The little girl recognized Ning Xia as the girl who found the body that day and provided the time to dump it.

Ningxia smiled:

"Let's come over and have some food."

The little girl nodded:

"Officer, is the case solved?"

"Not yet. How has it been in the hotel these two days? Is everyone doing the same as usual?"

"Well, it didn't have any impact. The discovery of the body was not publicized, so the guests are fine. However, people who are familiar with Director Li know that everyone is still a little uncomfortable."

"I heard that Li Wenrui is a regular customer of your place?"

"Well, we all know Director Li."

"Do you know Song Yuanan?"

The little girl shook her head:

"It's possible that they may look familiar to you if you've been to the store before. The police officer may not know. We don't know the names of many customers."

Ningxia waved her hand:
"I'm in a hurry."

"I can understand, not to mention the police officer, but we all feel uncomfortable. Director Li often comes to our place for dinner and smiles at everyone. When I think of him later... it's really... ugh, I can't describe how it feels."

The little girl was wearing a hotel uniform and her voice was full of emotion. All her emotions were written on her face. Ningxia liked to talk to her more.

"By the way, is Jia Mei there? I heard she lives in front."

Ningxia actually remembered it accidentally. Since he was already here, he might as well continue to ask.

"Jia Mei has resigned."

"Resign?"

Xu Jie and Ning Xia were both surprised.

"Yes, the day before yesterday, Jia Mei said that she had something to do at home, so she left Jinghai City and returned to her hometown after completing the formalities."

If Jia Mei didn't live in the building next to Fuhai Hotel, Ningxia would not ask her.

But Jia Mei resigned, which dropped a small stone in Ningxia's heart and caused a ripple.

"Didn't you say anything about the family?"

"It seemed like someone was sick. She left in a hurry. We usually have a normal relationship, so we didn't ask too much."

"I heard she lives out front."

"Well, she hasn't been in the hotel for a long time, just a few months, she doesn't like to talk very much, she can do her job, maybe she did."

"Do you know Lin Chengtian?"

Ning Xia had been asking questions, but Xu Jie suddenly spoke up.

"Brother Lin? He is a regular visitor to our place. We know him."

"How is his relationship with Director Li?"

"It's good. The two of them have been to our place together. They are both regular customers. They are more familiar with each other."

"After Li Wenrui's accident, did Lin Chengtian come to ask about him?"

"I have asked, but not me. The waiters at the front desk are more familiar with Brother Lin, and Brother Lin is looking for them."

Xu Jie nodded. Ning Xia looked at Xu Jie and frowned. She was already sure that Lin Chengtian wanted to compete with Xu Jie on this case.

Looking at it this way, has Lin Chengtian already found out the truth?
Ningxia is unhappy.

Until leaving Fuhai Hotel, Ningxia could tell that Xu Jie had something on his mind, but Ningxia didn't dare to ask.

After sending Ning Xia home, Xu Jie walked around the community and finally called Lin Chengtian.

"Captain Xu?"

Lin Chengtian smiled, with a playful tone:
"Why do busy people think of calling me?"

"Come out and talk."

"What are you talking about?"

"Since I can't let go of the case..."

Lin Chengtian interrupted Xu Jie:

"No, Xu Jie, you misunderstood. I haven't let it go. I'm fine now. I earn more money than I could ever earn as a policeman in my lifetime..."

"Half an hour later, Haixin Park."

Xu Jie didn't talk nonsense. Lin Chengtian heard the remaining beeps on the phone...
