Chapter 247: A Unique Military Stabber
by xennovelChapter 247: The Unique Military Stabber
Inside the speeding police car.
Xiao Yu’s mind switched into rapid analysis mode again.
Fake Currency Circuit Board?
What are those Kongbu operatives planning with this thing?
Counterfeit money?
Do they really think counterfeiting is that easy?
Sometimes the process of creating counterfeit money rivals that of genuine currency.
Special ink, unique cotton, a customized printing machine, and most importantly the watermark and laser anti-counterfeiting… Counterfeiting?
Don’t be ridiculous.
Even if all the materials are laid out before you, an ordinary person couldn’t pull it off.
This isn’t like printing something out from a printer.
Without understanding the principles, the craftsmanship, and lacking professional know-how,
counterfeiting is as unattainable as chasing a dream!
Xiao Yu’s thoughts tangled in knots.
If these Kongbu operatives really intend to counterfeit money…
they might as well rob a bank. Why complicate things so much?
How strange.
Why is Kongbu activity being linked with the Fake Currency Circuit Board?
This situation made Xiao Yu feel
it was more bizarre than a man having a romp with a husky.
It made no sense at all!
Kongbu activity?
No, that can’t be the whole story.
There must be some Kongbu operatives involved, but Operation 02 and their actions are truly odd.
Using a Kongbu attack to stage a bank robbery, to lure the police, then storm the Stolen Goods Depot and seize the Fake Currency Circuit Board… all these incidents are interconnected.
“Could it be…”
A weary light flashed in Xiao Yu’s eyes as he muttered, “Are two groups collaborating? Is someone commanding a faction of these Kongbu operatives?”
“Commanding Kongbu operatives?”
Driving the car, Wang Dong looked utterly confused. “Hey, little brother, do you even know what kind of people Kongbu operatives are?”
Those are Kongbu operatives—no one can just command them!
“It’s all about profit!”
Xiao Yu rubbed his brow to ease the strain of overthinking. “In the human world, you can never escape the lure of profit. Kongbu operatives are human too; when they engage in their operations, it’s all for the money. Now, if someone offers them an irresistible deal, do you really think they can be ordered around?”
Wang Dong fell silent.
There was no refuting what his little brother had said.
It’s like making someone kneel and call you ‘dad’.
Even if you give him a hundred bucks, he won’t call you that—he’d probably hit you instead.
A thousand? Ten thousand? A hundred thousand? A million?
Not enough? How about ten million?
As long as he kneels and calls out ‘dad’, ten million is fair game. Deal?
Sometimes, a person’s moral bottom line really can be measured by profit.
Many people understand this concept well.
Not to mention, do these Kongbu operatives even have a bottom line?
The police car came to a stop outside the Stolen Goods Depot building.
A group of officers was already standing outside.
There were also two fire trucks.
This was a five-story building.
It was clear that the fire on the second floor had been extinguished.
“During the bank heist, most of the guards from the depot were reassigned immediately to the bank, leaving only seven officers behind.”
“Then the building caught fire and everyone evacuated, but two guards stayed at the depot. And the result…”
Listening to a distraught officer recount the events, Xiao Yu crouched before two corpses.
They were the bodies of two policemen in uniform.
Their exposed skin bore blackened traces from the burning smoke.
Yet they hadn’t been burned or asphyxiated by the smoke.
Xiao Yu focused on their necks.
Each body had a blood hole as thick as a finger in the neck.
The wounds pierced both sides of the neck, damaging the trachea and arteries.
These injuries wouldn’t kill instantly, but the blood would eventually clog the trachea.
The victims were either suffocated to death or choked by their own blood.
The cause of death was identical!
“Little brother…”
As he sensed a hand land on his shoulder, Xiao Yu abruptly looked up.
“Ugh!”
His body stiffened while Wang Dong froze, too scared to move.
In the very moment Xiao Yu’s eyes met his,
Wang Dong felt an overwhelming murderous intent!
After a brief blink, Xiao Yu cracked a smile, then lowered his gaze to resume examining the two fallen officers.
Wang Dong was stunned.
Was it his imagination?
He could no longer sense any hint of murderous aura from his little brother.
In fact, it only deepened the chill in his heart.
He still remembered the day in the Capital, after dropping his little brother off at the airport, when some colleagues said something to him.
Team Leader Zhou Lie of Unit Nine had tried to test Xiao Yu by deliberately showing some murderous intent.
Zhou Lie later admitted he had nearly died!
Holy crap… Wang Dong felt a shiver run down his spine, his hair standing on end.
Something was seriously off with his little brother’s current state!
Xiao Yu was clearly not himself.
He was straining to keep his temper in check.
Just like in his previous life, whenever he saw a colleague sacrifice themselves or die unexpectedly, his mood would plummet.
It was inexplicably puzzling.
These colleagues were just strangers, after all.
Yet somehow, his heart ached.
“It’s not a standard three-edged stabber; it appears to be a special bayonet.”
Wearing rubber gloves, Xiao Yu gently examined the wound on the body and said coldly, “We can confirm it’s a stabbing weapon with three distinct grooves.”
A typical three-edged military stabber has a blade with defined edges,
like the traditional Model 56 three-edged military stabber: a blade with three blood grooves, designed only for stabbing, not slashing.
When the blade penetrates the body, blood flows out through the grooves, and when the muscles contract, they can’t seal the blade.
The resulting wound is roughly a square hole.
It’s a small, singularly functional injury!
But the deadly wounds on these two bodies were different.
Their wounds were twisted in a three-edged pattern.
It seems to be a spiral three-edged stabber.
This weapon is even more vicious than the standard three-edged stabber; once it pierces the body, its spiral pattern not only inflicts piercing wounds but also causes tearing, accelerating blood loss such that the wounds never close, always remaining as gaping holes.
Wang Dong shivered. “What kind of bayonet is this?”
“It’s very similar to the special bayonets used by certain foreign special forces – a meticulously designed lethal weapon,”
Xiao Yu answered. “That kind of bayonet only exists on battlefields we cannot see. It must be a replica, and even then, only a few special individuals can forge one like this. You understand what I mean?”
“Understood!” Wang Dong took a deep breath.
Most people couldn’t replicate it; only a select few possess the expertise to forge such a weapon.
“Let’s check the Storage Room,”
After one last glance at the two fallen officers, Xiao Yu stood up and walked toward the building…
