Chapter 230: Chapter 204: Is This What You Called Just a Scratch?

Jiangshui Police Station.

After Fu Yisi followed Ji Sang out, Qiming couldn’t contain himself and approached Captain Lei.

“Is Dr. Fu really the external assistance our chief has found for us?”

Captain Lei gave Qiming a sidelong glance and lowered his head to dig into the freshly delivered takeaway.

“What’s the matter, you don’t believe it?”

“No, it’s not that.”

Qiming raised his hand and scratched his head.

“I just feel that Dr. Fu has quite a strong aura. The autopsy room is cold and chilling, somewhat terrifying. I was thinking that if Dr. Fu were there, I might have a bit more courage.”

Captain Lei: …..

Picked up his chopsticks and gave Qiming a knock on the head.

“Can’t you be a bit braver? Don’t have your legs shaking like a sieve every time you go there.”

Qiming’s lips pouted slightly in grievance.

“I can’t help it, Dr. Guan is a woman, and she’s so cold…”

Captain Lei couldn’t help but laugh at Qiming’s words, setting down his chopsticks, leaning his hands on his knees, and turned to look at Qiming.

“You think Dr. Fu isn’t cold?”

He had heard that this Dr. Fu was quite formidable, and naturally had a cold demeanor. The station had an excellent medical examiner who was also like that.

Tsk, is it that all these outstanding people are like this?

Thinking back on his interactions with Dr. Guan, Captain Lei felt a headache coming on and rubbed his hair.

This Dr. Fu, on his first visit, went straight to the trainer and landed a heavy punch. Probably… another hard-to-communicate individual.

Qiming wrinkled his nose, recalling the first time he saw Fu Yisi at the entrance of the police station, and shivered,

“He is quite intimidating, but… at least he’s a guy.”

Captain Lei: ….

“By the way, Captain, do you think Li Lei is really the suspect in our case?”

Li Lei was the stalker caught by Ji Sang earlier that evening.

Captain Lei raised his eyebrows with interest upon hearing Qiming’s words,

“What’s your opinion?”

Qiming moved a chair closer to sit beside Captain Lei and started sharing his thoughts.

“I found it very strange when you were interrogating him just now. He doesn’t resemble the profile we drew up earlier. His eyes might have been murky, but I feel… they don’t quite seem to bear animosity towards women. It’s more like…”

Qiming searched for the right words,

“He’s just messing up, tired out, with an innocence in his murkiness.”

Innocence…

Captain Lei was amused by the word Qiming chose.

“Innocence, hahaha, kid, you’re funny calling him innocent.”

Qiming: ???????

“Did I say something wrong, Captain?”

Captain Lei couldn’t stop laughing for a while, and as he laughed, he started coughing. Qiming felt a bit embarrassed, realizing he had tried to show off in front of Captain Lei.

Biting his lip, he quickly stood up to pour a glass of water for him.

After downing a full glass of water, Captain Lei finally caught his breath.

“You’re not wrong, kid. Li Lei’s eyes are indeed…”

Captain Lei turned his head and thought for a few seconds, couldn’t find the words, and said with a smile,

“Indeed innocent.”

Qiming’s eyes lit up,

“So I’m right?”

Captain Lei nodded.

“He’s not the one we’re looking for. As to what purpose Li Lei had for stalking the victim and for carrying a weapon on him, that still needs to be thoroughly investigated.”

Qiming continued to nod and smile, still reveling in the joy of being correct.

Captain Lei grabbed his chopsticks and knocked him again,

“What’s there to be happy about? The real criminal is still out there. Without finding the criminal, when will these overtime days ever end?”

Qiming touched the back of his head, whispering,

“Don’t you guys also work overtime every day even when you’re not busy with this case?”

Captain Lei: ….

“You think my ears don’t work? This case is now your responsibility, Li Lei, and you need to thoroughly investigate it.”

“Ah?”

“What, you have a problem with that?”

Qiming hurriedly shook his head.

“I’m just an intern…”

He thought an intern would only be learning by watching and wouldn’t be in charge of a case. Although… this case was small, it was just about finding out some details.

Captain Lei furrowed his eyebrows

“There aren’t so many rules. I made a name for myself when I was an intern. Treat this case as practice, but of course, if you don’t understand something, you need to ask. Got it? Don’t screw it up, or my job will be on the line too.”

Qiming immediately stood up straight, responding loudly,

“Understood!”

…

The journey was unusually quiet inside the car, and Ji Sang didn’t speak either.

Fu Yisi thought she was still a bit angry, contemplating how to make things up to the little woman after getting home. But it was only upon arriving at Yujing Apartment that Fu Yisi realized why Ji Sang wasn’t speaking.

In the elevator, Fu Yisi, taking advantage of his height, noticed the movements of Ji Sang’s hand.

With a stern face, he grabbed her wrist, exerting a slight force to turn her palm upward.

A bright, jarring red stood out against the white bandage.

Fu Yisi’s brows furrowed,

“How did you do this?”

Ji Sang pursed her lips,

“It was an accident getting into the car.”

Fu Yisi’s expression immediately tensed, Ji Sang could even see the shift in his jawline as he clenched his teeth.

Afterward, Fu Yisi stopped speaking, his face cold as he held onto Ji Sang’s wrist.

When they got home, the man wordlessly fetched the first aid kit and upon returning, saw Ji Sang still standing at the entrance.

“What are you still standing there for?”

His tone was hardly gentle.

Fu Yisi was angry.

That was Ji Sang’s conclusion based on her familiarity with Fu Yisi over this period of close daily interaction.

Ji Sang stepped forward and obediently sat on the sofa.

The man knelt in front of her and his frown deepened upon seeing the blood on the bandage.

As he unwrapped the bandage and saw the wound, the movements of Fu Yisi’s hands paused for a long time.

He stared at the cut, observing it for quite a while

Almost reaching from the base of the palm to the root of the index finger… a trail of blood-red mark. The palm was covered in blood, the wound obviously not treated carefully enough, he could see the scraped skin that had not been properly cleaned.

The palm flesh appeared swollen and red.

Fu Yisi’s Adam’s apple moved harshly as he looked up at Ji Sang,

“Is this what you call ‘just a scratch’?”

Ji Sang: …..

The man lowered his eyes, bending down to re-treat Ji Sang’s wound carefully and quickly.

At the moment of disinfection, Ji Sang was so stimulated she wanted to retract her hand, but the man gripped it firmly, and her cry of pain was suppressed by the man’s low and deep aura.

From Ji Sang’s perspective, she could only see Fu Yisi’s hair on his forehead, his tall nose.

Although Fu Yisi’s touch was still gentle, Ji Sang understood, he was really angry.

Very angry.

Perhaps, it was because she hadn’t told him the true state of the wound.

Indeed, she had thought the wound wasn’t that serious, hoping it might heal a bit by the time they got home, perhaps she could gloss over it vaguely.

But she hadn’t expected to accidentally touch the wound.
