Chapter 755: Skipping Conventional Steps

~4 min read 739 words

Yu Dazhang's reasoning for thinking this way had a basis.

At that time, he had also kept a close watch on the aftermath of the Third-Class Hospital case.

Although all the criminals had received severe punishment under the law, and the three families involved had been wiped out.

It was just...

The spinal cord stem cells that had already been extracted had never been found.

Yes, in fact, the Third-Class Hospital case was not handled perfectly; strictly speaking, the case would only be truly solved if those children's spinal cords were found.

This was like a theft case where the criminal was brought to justice, but the stolen property was never recovered; such a result was obviously unsatisfactory.

But the problem was that everyone involved in the Third-Class Hospital case had been brought in, so there shouldn't have been any other accomplices.

Then, was there a possibility...

That the extracted spinal cords had been used for some kind of drug trial, which was why they were never recovered?

For this current case, there were already signs of such a trend.

When Yu Dazhang handled the Third-Class Hospital case back then, he had heard someone say that true spinal cord stem cells were extracted from the bodies of young children.

If it could be confirmed that what was injected into these women was spinal cord stem cells, then the source must have been illegal.

Considering this now was a bit far-fetched, so Yu Dazhang immediately came back to his senses.

"What is the purpose of the other party injecting these women with the drug?"

Yu Dazhang asked cautiously:

"Don't try to fool me with nonsense like 'enhancing physical constitution'; say something you yourself believe is logical."

He had to say this upfront.

The person sitting opposite was a gynecological expert who had once held the title of Chief Physician; if Gu Ding Wen played some tricks with his professional knowledge, Yu Dazhang would really be unable to tell.

So, he had to nip his little schemes in the bud beforehand.

"I once asked him, but he clearly told me that this was not something I should know."

Gu Ding Wen's expression was somewhat complex, his eyes flickering, looking as if he wanted to speak but held back.

"Say whatever you want to say." Yu Dazhang couldn't help but frown:

"Even if it's just your guess, go ahead and say it; we will judge for ourselves."

He had just seen no signs of lying in the changes of Gu Ding Wen's expression.

Despite this, an indescribable intuition gradually rose in Yu Dazhang's heart.

He felt that Gu Ding Wen seemed to have discovered something, but this discovery still seemed to remain in his speculation, which was why he hesitated about whether to say it.

"I do have some personal guesses."

Gu Ding Wen thought for a moment and said:

"But I dare not guarantee its accuracy, so I am afraid that saying it out loud might mislead you."

Seeing that Yu Dazhang had no reaction, he then continued:

"They didn't just come to inject the drug; every once in a while, the other party would also come to draw blood from those women."

His voice dropped slightly, as if emphasizing the importance of what followed:

"I noticed that this cycle was between half a month and one month, that is, two to four weeks."

"And this cycle happens to be the time it takes for the human body to produce antibodies against a virus."

Gu Ding Wen's speaking speed increased slightly, as if he wanted to get his speculation out as quickly as possible:

"Therefore, I suspect the other party is using these women to test drugs; drawing blood is to extract serum, and the serum contains a large amount of specific antibodies, also known as antiserum or immune serum."

Why was it getting more and more complicated... Yu Dazhang listened while frowning deeply.

Originally, he didn't quite understand why the other party injected these women with stem cells.

After all, spinal cord stem cells were very precious, and some people even risked their lives for them.

Yet the other party used stem cells mixed with drugs; that wasn't enough, they even used humans to test drugs, and finally extracted serum.

They were trying to accomplish everything in one step.

Although Yu Dazhang didn't understand medicine, he also knew that drug testing could not be directly applied to the human body.
