Chapter 90 Applying Medicine
Luo Xun's voice was calm and soothing. The violent factor in Chi Xia that seemed out of his control gradually disappeared under his restraint and steady words.
Control of his body returned to him, and the gloom and anger in Chi Xia's eyes slowly dissipated.
Feeling the relaxation of her back, Luo Xun breathed a sigh of relief and let go of Chi Xia.
Chi Xia said nothing. She took out a pack of wet wipes from her pocket, reached under his clothes, and placed the cool tissue on the place where he was scalded by the hot tea.
Luo Xun's back was slightly stiff. He could only feel her movements but seemed unable to feel the pain in his flesh. He turned around and looked at Du Xiaoyu's parents.
They looked at him with trepidation yet pretended to be calm and proud, but they could not hide the panic and regret in their eyes.
"Would you do the same to your daughter?"
Chi Xia also turned around. Apart from a hint of blood in the corners of her eyes, no emotion could be seen. She looked directly into Du Xiaoyu's father's eyes: "Will you also be so impulsive as to not give Du Xiaoyu a chance to finish her sentence, and will you also be unable to control your body and hit her?"
Du Xiaoyu's mother looked at her in shock. She wanted to say something, but then lowered her head again.
Chi Xia glanced at her expression and gave Du Xiaoyu's father a mocking smile: "You can't even control your temper when dealing with an outsider, have you ever thought about how you treat your own daughter?"
"Even when you treat a child who is only a few years old, you just give him a slap in the face and then give him a sweet date."
The man's face flushed, and he couldn't form any words to refute for a moment.
"Mr. Du."
Her voice was cold: "If your actions just now caused physical harm to my colleagues, we will reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility against you."
She didn't want to say more and grabbed Luo Xun's arm: "Captain Luo, let's go."
Luo Xun glanced at Du Xiaoyu's parents, said nothing more, turned around and was about to leave with her.
Du Xiaoyu's father looked anxious: "My child is just missing, and you came to my house and cursed her to death. How can I not be angry? I can't even hit you with a teacup!"
Chi Xia's face turned cold, she sneered, and turned to walk towards him.
Luo Xun grabbed her and shook his head: "Chi Xia, don't go."
Chi Xia refused.
She shook off Luo Xun's arm and walked to Du Xiaoyu's father, grabbing his collar like he grabbed Luo Xun's collar, with a cold expression.
"Excuse me, we have taken your feelings into consideration. It was you who asked us from the beginning whether your child was killed. You kept saying that we have neither found the person alive nor the body. We are the police, and it is our duty to come to your house to inquire. It is your obligation to cooperate with our investigation. Every process we have is reasonable and logical!"
Perhaps her expression frightened the man, the muscles on his cheeks trembled, and he looked at Chi Xia in horror: "You...you are a policeman, do you want to hit me! Quick, record the video, let everyone see what the police are like nowadays!"
Du Xiaoyu's mother didn't know what to do for a moment, but after hearing what her husband said, she hurriedly looked for her cell phone, but was grabbed by Luo Xun's arm.
He pointed to his shoulder, the debris on the ground, and the law enforcement recorder that was pinned back on his lapel: "I advise you to be kind. We all know who is right and who is wrong."
"What are police like? What should police be like?"
Chi Xia put more force on her hands: "Is the police supposed to let you treat them like this? Is the police supposed to let you be sarcastic and interrupt them? Or are they born to let you throw teacups?"
She pushed the man away and clapped her hands in disgust: "You are over sixty years old, please have some shame. We don't want this clue! Perhaps Du Xiaoyu knows very well that it is because she has such an incompetent and arrogant father that she can't tell the difference between the important and the unimportant!"
"You...what are you talking about!" The man's face turned red and his neck became thick, and he finally squeezed out a word.
Chi Xia's face was full of sarcasm: "I say, you don't necessarily love your daughter. If you loved her, you wouldn't be so unreasonable. Instead, you would try your best to provide us with all the clues to find your daughter as soon as possible, instead of just incompetently trying to make your presence felt in front of us and showing off your disgusting bad temper!"
She looked at the man's pale face, and his true self appeared in her eyes.
Incompetent, cowardly, and a bully of the weak.
She walked up to Luo Xun, her previous dominance and indifference faded away, and her voice was soft: "Captain Luo, let's go."
Luo Xun pulled the corner of his lips and nodded.
When the two of them walked to the door, the man's voice suddenly rang out: "Wait!"
They didn't stop.
The man became anxious: "I say! I promise ! I'll tell you everything!"
…
When he came out of Du's house again, Chi Xia's face was still cold.
Luo Xun didn't care. After getting in the car, he even joked: "Your bad mouth really came true. It really didn't work out well."
Chi Xia said nothing, and fetched a bottle of mineral water from the back seat as if he knew the place well, then raised his hand to lift up Luo Xun's clothes.
Luo Xun dodged back: "What are you doing?"
"Look." She said and pursed her lips again, with unhappiness still between her brows.
Luo Xun shrugged: "It's a small matter, it doesn't hurt, don't worry about it, let's go find Shen Ping first."
Seeing that he refused, Chi Xia withdrew his gaze, hummed, took out his mobile phone and swiped a few times.
Luo Xun started the car and saw the gloomy atmosphere in the car. He said, "You didn't act like a police officer just now, Officer Chi."
Chi Xia lowered his eyes and looked at his phone: "Is it the job of the police to tolerate that kind of people? Why? I only know that the police are to serve the people, but there is no rule or regulation that requires the police to be submissive."
She held the phone upside down: "Captain Luo, don't be so rigid. People already have too many shackles in life. Some things don't need to be followed so strictly."
These two sentences were beyond Luo Xun's previous understanding. He was stunned for a moment, driving the car in silence, and suddenly smiled.
"That's right." He glanced at Chi Xia and said, "Officer Chi, I've learned your lesson."
"You're welcome." Chi Xia said, "Captain Luo, stop at the intersection ahead."
Luo Xun thought she got off the car to take care of something personal, so he didn't ask much. He didn't expect that she came back with burn ointment in her pocket. As soon as she got on the car, she asked, "Captain Luo, do you want to lift it yourself or should I help you?"
Officer Chi didn't look very good. Usually he could still pretend, but now he looked so gloomy that he didn't even bother to pretend.
Captain Luo weighed the pros and cons and turned his back: "Then I'll trouble you."
Chi Xia pulled the corners of her lips and lifted his clothes, but soon her eyes turned cold again.
There were at least five long scars crisscrossing Luo Xun's back. Judging from the condition of the scars, they were caused a long time ago. Some small scars were not worth mentioning. Moreover, the cup of tea just now might have been just a tickle to him.
Luo Xun's voice came: "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
"No." Chi Xia suppressed the emotions in her eyes, squeezed out the burn ointment and placed it on her fingertips, then gently pressed it on his shoulder blade.
Her fingertips occasionally stroked the scar on his back. Luo Xun's eyes were fixed, and he looked blankly at the glass in front of him. He looked through the glass at the passers-by outside, but found that he couldn't even see their faces clearly.
There was a cool feeling on his back, and it felt a little itchy when his fingertips occasionally ran across it. Luo Xun seemed to see his own face in the glass.
Like an eighteen-year-old boy, he was nervous even when touching a little girl's hand.
"Okay." Chi Xia put down his clothes: "Fortunately, it's not serious."
Luo Xun hummed and started the car: "Then... let's go find Shen Ping."
He looked straight ahead, not even daring to glance towards Chi Xia.
I don’t know how long it took, Chi Xia smiled gently, and she turned her head to look at Luo Xun.
"Captain Luo, why do you blush every day?"
She said, her voice brisk.
