Chapter 447: False Alarm?
Soon, the police officer who went to fetch the file returned.
He held his phone, with a look that said, "I knew it would be like this."
"Look, I told you, this girl is the one who was disfigured in the arson case!"
The officer didn't take out the file; instead, he snapped a photo with his phone.
"Let me see," the other officers crowded around.
But after looking at the photo on the phone, everyone was instantly stunned.
The woman standing at the Police Station entrance right now was indeed the one who had been burned and disfigured in that arson case not long ago.
"Whoa, is that really her?"
"Wasn't she disfigured? Then what's this? She recovered?"
"Has medical technology become that advanced now?"
"Impossible. No matter how advanced medicine gets, it can't fully restore the appearance of someone who was disfigured."
"Exactly, it was a severe burn. Surviving is already good enough; regaining one's looks is impossible."
Even a deity couldn't achieve that.
So the officers immediately considered another possibility.
"That girl must be the victim's sister—maybe a younger sister, maybe an older sister. In any case, she's a twin, not the same person, just looking alike."
"I thought the same!"
Twin sisters—that's the only explanation.
But just as the officers were thinking that,
the conversation between Xu Mo and the middle‑aged man completely left the officers dumbfounded.
The woman at the Police Station entrance truly was the one burned and disfigured in that arson case; there was no such thing as a twin sister.
And the reason she recovered so well was entirely thanks to Team Leader Xu!
She was indeed disfigured, that's true, but Xu Mo healed her and restored her appearance.
The officers were all stunned.
Someone who had only recently suffered severe burns and disfigurement actually regained her looks with Team Leader Xu's help?
Even though it sounds a bit far‑fetched, that's indeed the fact.
The father and daughter are now standing at the Police Station entrance holding a Brocade Banner; they clearly came to present the banner to Xu Mo.
"Team Leader Xu's skill in medicine must be extraordinary..." one officer sighed.
Being able to restore a disfigured person's appearance is something even Hua Tuo Reborn, Skillful Hands Revive would find impressive!
Team Leader Xu remains as formidable as ever; not only does he know a bit of everything, he masters them all!
…
"Fifty million, how does that price sound to you?" the middle‑aged man added.
His daughter had recently suffered severe facial disfigurement from a faulty cosmetic product; over the past few days, the man had taken her to countless hospitals and salons, only to be told that her appearance could not be restored.
It was today that he happened to learn about the father–daughter case from two nurses who were chatting.
Since the other party's severe burn disfigurement could be healed, his daughter's issue—caused by a defective cosmetic—should certainly be curable as well.
The man owns several listed companies; 50 million, while a lot, is still within his reach.
Spending 50 million to save his daughter's life seemed worth it… she had attempted suicide many times because of her disfigurement.
Goodness, 50 million! Xu Mo suddenly thought that selling a single Golden Ulcer Pill wouldn't be a problem; after all, he had plenty, and the other side was offering far too much… actually, money didn't matter, he just loved helping others.
"I happen to have extras; I'll sell you one," Xu Mo immediately agreed.
The man was a little stunned.
Xu Mo's overly eager agreement even gave him the impression that perhaps he was giving away too much.
Nevertheless, he didn't hesitate; after Xu Mo agreed, he immediately pulled out a checkbook, filled out a check, and handed it to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo took the check, then pulled a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and gave it to the man.
Both sides exchanged money and goods hand to hand.
Neither side feared being cheated.
Xu Mo wasn't worried because he was a police officer; the other party likely wouldn't dare give him a bad check.
As for the man, he was even less afraid of being scammed; Xu Mo, being a police officer, wouldn't engage in fraud—he could run from a monk but not from a temple.
After receiving the Golden Ulcer Pill, the man left immediately, intending to rush back and let his daughter try the pill to see if it worked.
After the man left, the father and daughter who had come to thank Xu Mo also departed the Police Station after saying goodbye.
As soon as the two left, the officers immediately surrounded them.
They glanced at the Brocade Banner the father and daughter had brought for Xu Mo, then looked at Xu Mo.
"Team Leader Xu, you also know medicine?"
Not wanting to elaborate, Xu Mo vaguely replied, "I know a little bit."
The officers looked at the eight bold characters on the banner: "Hua Tuo Reborn, Skillful Hands Revive."
Recalling the woman's current appearance—she should have been disfigured—they thought, "Is this what they call 'a little knowledge'?!"
Even a national champion is no different!
Team Leader Xu remains as modest as ever.
Xu Mo's exceptional medical skill quickly spread throughout the station.
It even became a topic of conversation among officers during breaks.
But everyone had long taken Xu Mo's outstanding abilities for granted.
A God Gunman who can pilot aircraft, pick locks, use Qinna Technique, and …—a hacker, detective, forensic expert, and …
Would such a person have very strange medical skills?
Not strange; on the contrary, it's quite reasonable!
In the evening, a Police Station operator received a strange phone call.
When he answered the call, Xu Mo happened to be passing by.
"Hello, when will the pizza I ordered be delivered?"
"Pizza? What pizza?" As soon as the operator finished speaking, Xu Mo instantly sensed something was off, stopped in his tracks, signaled the operator not to speak recklessly, then took the desk phone from his hand and continued the conversation, mimicking the operator's voice.
"Oh, sorry, I got so many orders I forgot; there's a pizza that hasn't been delivered yet."
Xu Mo could clearly hear that the person on the other end of the line sounded a bit trembling, as if frightened.
"Then hurry up the delivery; the address is Xindu Hui Building No. 7 Unit 1 Room 304, I've been waiting half a day."
"Sorry, I'll send it right now; it'll arrive in fifteen minutes."
After the call ended, Xu Mo immediately gathered the officers to prepare to dispatch.
The woman who called is very likely a kidnapping victim.
He didn't ask about her current situation over the phone because he feared the kidnappers might be listening nearby.
In such a situation, rushing out immediately is the best course.
If the reporter truly has been kidnapped, their timely arrival could save a life.
Even if it's a prank call, it's no big deal; the prank is fine as long as the caller is safe.
Of course, if it's confirmed to be a False Alarm Report, the caller won't escape being taken back to the Police Station for a verbal reprimand.
