deep white secret

Chapter 8 Seeking an Answer

Regardless of whether Li Xinyao was joking or not, most girls would be embarrassed on such occasions.

Ning Xia didn't. She just gently pinched her nose, pursed her lips, and her ears turned slightly red.

The eyes were lowered and flashed awkwardly, not shyness, but the embarrassment of being exposed in front of Xu Jie.

"I respect Captain Xu, and it is my ideal to join the Criminal Investigation Team."

After Ning Xia explained, she glared at Li Xinyao:
"Hurry up and eat, you still say that! Captain Xu, how dare you make a joke."

Ma Mingjie tapped Li Xinyao with his chopsticks, and Li Xinyao laughed.

An hour later Zhang Lei stood up:
"I have to leave first. Congratulations to Ning Xia for joining the team on the first day. I will welcome you through Team Xu's dinner. There is a child at home who is about to take the high school entrance examination. You guys eat slowly. I'm going back!"

Ning Xia kept watching Officer Zhang go out, with a ripple in her heart.

Ma Mingjie and Li Xinyao had to go to the movies, so everyone was going to leave.

Ning Xia found that Xu Jie didn't move his chopsticks too much. He just smiled and watched everyone having fun, holding a cigarette in one hand but not lighting it.

Ningxia doesn't like barbecue very much. The smoke is too much and the strong smell will be on the clothes, so they don't eat too much.

Shi Yihang caught up with Ning Xia when he walked to the door:

"Where do you live in Ningxia? I'll give you a ride!"

"No, it's very convenient for me to take the subway."

"Then I'll accompany you on the subway."

Ning Xia frowned lightly, her eyes lightly glanced at Xu Jie for help.

Xu Jie walked to Shi Yihang with a smile:
"I want to go back to the station to get the car. You come with me."

Shi Yihang didn't want to go, but Xu Jie's eyebrows were curved but he had orders.

Shi Yihang could never refuse Xu Jie, he muttered, and followed Xu Jie with his feet.

Ningxia walked out of the barbecue restaurant and breathed a sigh of relief. On her first day in the criminal investigation team, except for the time countdown, everything else was going well.

On the subway, Ningxia received a call from her mother, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face:

"Mom! I'm on the subway now, and I want to go back and call you."

"I'm going to have an emergency surgery soon, and I'm afraid you won't be able to contact me. How about the first day?"

"not bad."

"Don't try too hard. Will you come back on the weekend?"

"almost."

"You contact me first, I may have to go to the province for a meeting."

Ningxia smiled helplessly:

"Compared to my mother's career, my daughter will always come second."

Yang Meilan's angry voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Then I'm going to retire now. You quickly find me a partner to get married to, and I'll take care of your children!"

Ning Xia hurriedly covered her mouth:
"Okay, okay, I know, Mom, you should serve patients more, the people need you."

Yang Meilan smiled easily:

"Don't be too frugal, do you want Mom to send you some more money?"

"No, just keep the money. When you retire, I will take you to Jinghai and let's buy a big house."

Yang Meilan smiled happily:
"Okay, mom is waiting. You take good care of yourself. I will go into the operating room right away."

"Okay, Mom, you have to take care of yourself too."

Ningxia put down the phone and suddenly thought of Xu Ling for some reason.

Xu Ling was probably the same as herself in this city, with ideals and expectations, and attachment to this city, but Xu Ling fell on that rainy night.

Ning Xia bit the corner of her mouth, her face darkened, and for some reason a sense of determination surged in her heart. Ning Xia vowed to catch the murderer with her own hands.

Xu Jie drove Shi Yihang home. When he arrived at the community, he caught a red light and put one hand on the car window. Xu Jie looked out the window.

At a glance, Xu Jie saw Ningxia sitting by the window of a convenience store at the intersection eating.

Xu Jie put the back of his hand on the corner of his mouth and smiled.

What a coincidence.

The flashing neon lights at the intersection shone on Xu Jie's face. His eyebrows were stretched, his profile was straight and his nose was straight, he was steady and handsome.

Ning Xia holds a rice bag in her right hand and eats slowly, with a glass of milk beside her hand. She stares at the screen of her phone with her left hand, looking at something.

"It turns out she doesn't like barbecue either."

Xu Jie started the car and left the intersection.

Xu Jie swiped the car and went to the gas station to refuel. When he walked out of the community parking lot, he saw a familiar figure holding a express box in front of him.

Ningxia?

Ningxia moved to Mingyuan Community a week ago. It is a little far from the police station, but the subway is convenient.

Ningxia's fancy community has good greening, and there is a citizen fitness park next to it. The circular track is suitable for her morning exercises.

Ningxia walked slowly with five express boxes in his hands, large and small.

Ningxia likes to do things in a slow and steady manner. Many things for the new home are not yet in place, so Ningxia is purchasing them bit by bit.

Although it is a rented house, Ningxia still wants to decorate it how she likes.

Xu Jie passed by Ning Xia in a few steps and turned back to stand looking at her.

"Captain Xu?"

Ningxia was stunned.

"You live here?"

Xu Jie asked.

"Well, No. 160, Area A ahead. Team Xu..."

"No. 161, Area A."

Ningxia pursed her lips, a little in disbelief.

"I found it randomly at an agency."

Ning Xia remembered that Li Xinyao said at the dinner table that she liked Team Xu's model, and her cheeks were slightly warm and she quickly explained.

Xu Jie smiled and understood why Ning Xia said this. He reached out and picked up the two express boxes closest to Ning Xia's chin. They were quite heavy and the corners of his mouth curved:
"Do you mind others?"

Ning Xia raised her face, not knowing how to answer.

In fact, Ningxia doesn't care, but at this stage, she is very concerned about Xu Jie's evaluation of her, and she wants to stay in the criminal investigation team.

At this moment, the two people were standing in the corridor of the community. In addition to street lights, there were also the lights of thousands of households.

The bright and warm light shines on the two people, leaving only the mottled shadows of the trees on both sides.

A gust of evening wind blew by, and Ningxia came back to her senses and reached out to take the box in Xu Jie's hand.

"Captain Xu, I can do it myself, don't bother Captain Xu."

Ning Xia urgently hopes that Xu Jie will return the two couriers he took away to her.

"I am the captain and your neighbor. When I see you carrying so many things, I will help you out of reason. If you refuse again, it will make no sense."

Xu Jie's voice was low, and under the bright moonlight, he took another express box and put it in his arms. Ningxia couldn't refuse.

Xu Jie said nothing while Ningxia lowered her head.

Xu Jie kept sending Ningxia to the gate of 803, then stopped:
"Come here, you can take care of the rest yourself?"

"Okay, absolutely okay, thank you Captain Xu."

"No thanks, this is very convenient. We will set off to Shanping Street at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and meet at the gate of the community."

Xu Jie looked at Ningxia and said quietly:
"I live in Building 161, Building 1002."

"I remembered."

Xu Jie turned to leave, but Ning Xia mustered up the courage to stop him.

"Captain Xu, can I ask for an answer?"

Xu Jie raised his eyebrows.

Ning Xia puffed up her mouth, somewhat unwillingly:

"Captain Xu, how did you know that I was hesitant to speak when I reported in the morning? Do you have something to say?"

Xu Jie was amused by Ning Xia's serious look. She timidly puffed out her cheeks, like a little hamster.

His eyes were full of confusion and longing that couldn't be resolved.

Xu Jie was laughing from the bottom of his heart:

"First of all, you paused several times when showing Xu Ling's photos while you were organizing your language. When you placed the live photos of Xu Ling and Lu Yuan side by side, your projector pen stayed on Lu Yuan's umbrella."

Ningxia tried hard to recall her actions at that time, and Xu Jie discovered the details that she didn't even notice. Ningxia respected Xu Jie even more in her heart.

"When I asked you if you had any other opinions, you pointed the projector pen next to Xu Ling's body, which is exactly where the umbrella in Lu Yuan's photo was, and you were comparing it."

Xu Jie smiled:
"At this time, your eyes seemed to be looking at me. After a moment of hesitation, you ended your discussion. You wanted to say it, but stopped. You probably wanted to confirm the clues."

Ningxia was so impressed that he fell to the ground.

It's not because of Xu Jie's words, but behind these words is Xu Jie's ability to analyze details and observe.

These are exactly what Ningxia lacks, the keen insight that a good criminal investigation policeman needs.

　After preparing for a long time, the story of Ning Xia and Xu Jie finally comes to everyone. The whole book is about 40 words. I hope the little fairies who like them can keep reading. It will be updated on time at 11 noon every day. Recommend votes, monthly votes, and comments will start. Especially the comments, hit me hard.
