21st Century Necromancer

In the end, Chen Yu did not stay in the laboratory to persevere alongside Misumi Mikoto and the Nakado Department. After the two called for external assistance from UDI's forensic analysis expert Tokairin Yuko and finally managed to successfully isolate the plankton from the samples for testing, he went home with Jounouchi Hiromi.

Although Jounouchi Hiromi felt somewhat dissatisfied that Chen Yu had forgotten to accompany her because he was helping others, she quickly forgave him after his appeasement. However, when Chen Yu came to work with Jounouchi Hiromi the next morning, he kept rubbing his lower back.

"Mr. Chen Yu, what exactly did Dr. Misumi and the others need to borrow the laboratory for yesterday? Doesn't UDI have an entire building of analysis laboratories?" Walking to the hospital with Chen Yu, Jounouchi Hiromi asked curiously.

Rubbing his still-sore lower back, Chen Yu answered Jounouchi Hiromi's question, "There was a man who stole a corpse and gave it to them at UDI for a forensic autopsy, but since the body was stolen, they actually hadn't obtained the family's permission. Therefore, Director Kamikura forbade further investigation of the matter."

"Steal a body? Why would someone do such a thing? What's the relationship between the thief and the deceased? To engage in such acts is to risk imprisonment! Is there something wrong with the cause of death of the deceased?" Hearing Chen Yu mention stealing a body, Jounouchi Hiromi's eyes widened in surprise.

Who would steal a body and then send it for an autopsy? Unless someone had serious doubts about the cause of the deceased's death, no one would do such a thing.

"The body thief was the deceased's lover, and the two were about to get married imminently. The deceased had drowned, and with eyewitnesses, the death was deemed suicide by the police. However, the man insisted that his fiancée would not commit suicide, which is why he stole the body and begged Dr.

Misumi and their team to uncover the truth," Chen Yu shared the information he had learned from Misumi Mikoto the previous night with Jounouchi Hiromi and couldn't help but sigh, "Dr. Misumi and their team were moved by the man who stole the body, so they wanted to investigate the truth of the matter to give him some solace."

"Such a touching love story!" Jounouchi Hiromi exclaimed after listening to Chen Yu's explanation.

"Touching love story? Hiromi, why would you say that?" Chen Yu did not understand Jounouchi Hiromi's exclamation. The man's persistence about his fiancée's cause of death was moving, but Chen Yu did not quite grasp why Jounouchi Hiromi would make such a remark.

Hearing Chen Yu's question, Jounouchi Hiromi looked at the puzzlement on Chen Yu's face and shook her head helplessly, "Truly, Mr. Chen Yu, you are a man blind to sentiments of the heart!"

Although she shook her head, Jounouchi Hiromi still explained, "If that man who stole the body didn't deeply love his fiancée, didn't fully trust her, how could he possibly commit to such an act to find out the truth? Being able to think of taking his fiancée's body to UDI for an autopsy, if this isn't deep love, then such an act would be unthinkable."

Jounouchi Hiromi's words left Chen Yu nodding obediently.

"Hey, speaking of which, if I ever faced a similar situation, Mr. Chen Yu, would you go to any lengths to find out the truth for me?" Jounouchi Hiromi suddenly looked at Chen Yu with a burning gaze and asked. Your next journey awaits at empire

Hearing Jounouchi Hiromi's question, Chen Yu couldn't help but laugh, "I would do much more than you think."

After saying that, Chen Yu walked into the hospital with Jounouchi Hiromi without further explanation.

"Dr. Misumi, did neither of you go home last night?" Upon arriving at the laboratory, Chen Yu saw that Misumi Mikoto and the Nakado Department were still in the same state as last night, with both their faces showing signs of fatigue, clearly indicating they had pulled an all-nighter.

Hearing Chen Yu's voice, Misumi Mikoto wearily rubbed her eyes and looked up at him, "Doctor Chen, because we needed to get the analysis done, we didn't go home last night. I am really grateful you could lend us the lab, thank you!"

As she spoke, Misumi Mikoto bowed to Chen Yu, but as she did, she nearly toppled forward, prompting Chen Yu to instinctively want to reach out to support her.

Fortunately, Misumi Mikoto didn't fall over, it was just that her bow was a bit too deep. She raised her head and turned to shout at the sofa behind her, "Tokairin!"

Seeing Misumi Mikoto turn around, Chen Yu shifted his gaze to the sofa, where he saw Tokairin Yuko, whom he had met twice before, sleeping soundly on the sofa, covered with what seemed to be Misumi Mikoto's coat. Apparently, she too had stayed up all night here, and to Chen Yu's surprise, there was also an unfinished bottle of red wine next to the sofa.

Upon hearing Misumi Mikoto's call, Tokairin began to open her squinting eyes, still seemingly disoriented, and couldn't help but mutter, "Who got me drunk?" as she climbed up from the sofa.

The roused Tokairin Yuko rubbed her eyes, her mind perhaps not yet fully awake, and when she saw Chen Yu standing in front of her, she asked him, "Dr. Chen? Why are you at my place? Am I still half asleep?"

Her words made Chen Yu feel somewhat embarrassed, but he managed to reply politely with a smile, "Doctor Tokairin, this is my laboratory."

"Your laboratory? Last night I..." Hearing Chen Yu say this, Tokairin Yuko rubbed her forehead, finally recalling what had happened the night before, "I was called over by Meiqin to help, and then I was drinking wine by myself... and then... Ah—!"

Tokairin Yuko finally got her bearings, stared wide-eyed at Chen Yu standing in front of her, and after exclaiming, she quickly adjusted her appearance, her face full of embarrassment. If there had been a crack in the floor, Tokairin Yuko would have dived right in.

For any woman with even a shred of modesty, being seen in a state of hangover by a strange man would be mortifying.

Chen Yu didn't wish to further embarrass Tokairin Yuko, so he told her, "There's a bathroom outside the lab; it has disposable towels and toiletries. Doctor Tokairin, you might want to go wash your face first."

"Thank you! Excuse me!" Upon hearing Chen Yu's words, Tokairin Yuko quickly bowed to him, then, with her head down, she fled from the lab like an escapee.

Watching Tokairin Yuko rush out, Chen Yu and Misumi Mikoto exchanged glances, seeing the embarrassment on each other's faces.
