Chapter 667: The Reluctant Howls of a Lone Wolf

Book – Chapter 667: The Reluctant Howling Wolf (Update 5)

Xiao Yu fixated on the rotting flesh before him… no, not a corpse. Lin

Tomato sauce, you know?

The corpse looked like a vat of deep purple-black tomato sauce, encrusted with a human skeleton.

The corpse’s soft tissue had completely decomposed.

Even the intestines had decayed into bluish, fibrous strands…

Yet Xiao Yu observed everything intently, especially the chest and abdomen of the skeletal remains.

It was evident that the liquefied, purple-black flesh had sunk in dramatically…

The human body is brutally honest.

Sometimes you may not admit it, but your instincts tell the truth.

Wang Dong looked at the decaying human remains on the autopsy table.

Though his face remained calm, his stomach churned with disgust.

If not for his professional discipline, he might have thrown up long ago.

But then he noticed Little Brother not only lowering his head to inspect closely,

but also putting on latex gloves and rummaging through the rotting flesh…

“Holy shit… wow!”

Wang Dong couldn’t hold back any longer; even the leftovers almost made him vomit.

Was his mental fortitude lacking?

No—it was sheer revulsion.

It’s like watching someone sift through excrement in a cesspit with their bare hands.

How many people could endure that?

For a forensic expert, though, this was just another ordinary day.

Some seasoned forensic pathologists

had retrieved bodies from septic tanks more than once or twice…

Xiao Yu and He Li exchanged calm glances over Wang Dong’s vomiting misery.

“Sometimes I wonder if you used to work in forensics,”

He Li turned her gaze on Xiao Yu, who was meticulously sifting through the decomposed body, as if scrutinizing a monster.

Even the average forensic expert would balk at such a level of decay.

Not to mention a police officer!

“Maybe I am a pervert after all,”

Xiao Yu quipped self-deprecatingly, “A pervert with a strong sense of duty!”

“Every time I see you so at home with corpses, it just sounds absurd,”

He Li remarked, giving Little Brother a deep look.

“Absurd? I once read a novel where the author was literally called ‘Absurd.'”

Xiao Yu laughed, “In that story, the female lead time-traveled and was granted the chance to transform into anything. She ended up becoming nothing more than a hair on the male lead—absurd, right?”

He Li: …

Wang Dong: …

Don’t tell me you misunderstand what ‘absurd’ really means?

By the way, where did you read that book? Lend me a copy!

Xiao Yu kept quiet about his even more outrageous exploits.

He remembered his previous life.

He and several male classmates had urinated in the office water cooler.

Eight teachers, both male and female, in the office weren’t spared.

From that day on, all the teachers treated them surprisingly well.

A group of teachers with no rebellious phase… how wonderful!

Twenty minutes later, Xiao Yu removed his gloves and tossed them into the trash. After washing his hands, he faced Wang Dong and He Li and announced, “Many organs are missing… eyes, heart, kidneys, pancreas, small intestine, blood vessels, and more. Due to severe decay, it’s impossible to tell what else is gone.”

He Li’s face registered utter shock at his words.

After all, this veteran forensic expert had only ever found the eyes, heart, and kidneys missing from a body.

Xiao Yu had just listed five missing parts?

This wasn’t a comment on her incompetence—all it meant was that analyzing an eight-grade decayed body purely by the naked eye was nearly impossible.

Most forensic experts wouldn’t even be capable of such an analysis!

What exactly is an eight-grade decay?

It means the corpse’s flesh liquefies due to decomposition…

Wang Dong’s face turned ice-cold as he listened to Xiao Yu.

He and Little Brother exchanged a glance before uttering four words in unison.

“Organ trade!”

How could they be so sure?

Because the organs Xiao Yu mentioned were all viable for transplant.

And each of them had an exceptionally high transplant success rate.

Before coming to the Forensic Department, Xiao Yu had told Wang Dong: as long as someone isn’t mentally unstable, there’s no benefit in killing anyone.

Now, they finally understood the culprit’s motive.

Organs!

Everyone knows it.

Human organs are incredibly… valuable!

Remember the kidnapping case Xiao Yu cracked not long ago?

A notorious female suspect had undergone a kidney transplant due to kidney failure.

Not even counting the surgery fee—a single kidney fetched five to six hundred thousand.

So don’t ever underestimate yourself.

The sum total of your body’s parts could easily sell for millions.

This isn’t a joke!

Soon after, all the concrete blocks concealing the bodies were hauled to the Forensic Department.

It took a full day.

Both team leaders remained in the autopsy room.

Only after every body had been thoroughly examined did they leave with solemn faces.

Every corpse was missing a significant number of organs.

Nineteen corpses, with times of death ranging from half a month ago to a year and a half ago.

In other words, over two years, someone had killed nineteen people to harvest their organs!

“Some people are no longer fit to be called human!”

Wang Dong’s voice dripped with unbridled murderous intent.

Xiao Yu’s face remained not cold but serene.

Whenever he was this calm, his manual skills were unmatched.

They say a dog that bites seldom barks.

But Xiao Yu wasn’t a dog—he was a wolf who chose silence!

The autopsy had provided clues that were as good as none.

They had no idea who the perpetrator was, how many accomplices there were, or where exactly they were hiding.

How were they supposed to track them down?

No, they would definitely be found… Xiao Yu firmly believed that no crime on Earth ever went perfectly clean.

Every crime must leave traces.

In the business van, Xiao Yu leaned back in his seat as his mind raced uncontrollably.

Wang Dong refrained from disturbing Little Brother, instead sending his men on the hunt for clues.

An hour later,

Xiao Yu opened his eyes from his deep thought and said, “First, the concrete… the concrete used to hide the bodies is cylindrical in shape, so we need something tube-like. It might be an oil drum… check it out.”

Wang Dong signaled to one of his team members, who then left.

“Next, check the major hospitals—those capable of performing organ transplant surgeries.”

Xiao Yu continued, “Some organs, once removed, can’t be preserved for long. They must be transplanted quickly and nearby. So the surgery likely took place here in Bincheng… investigate it.”

This time, without needing Wang Dong’s orders, another team member departed.

“Finally, look into the patients,”

Xiao Yu snorted, “Some patients simply can’t recover without a reason. Particularly those who experienced organ issues—find out which patients needed transplants in the past two years, received them, or recovered miraculously.”

Organ trafficking is no different from human trafficking.

Without trade, there is no harm.

Isn’t that so?
