Under Professor Kube's supervision, the second DNA comparison results came out quickly, but the outcome was very surprising to Chen Yu.

"Still Yamada Yonegoro? What's going on?" As Chen Yu scrutinized the report with the identical comparison result as last time, his brow involuntarily furrowed.

Since there were no errors in the DNA comparison results, it naturally meant that the police hadn't arrested the wrong person. However, Yamada Yonegoro had a perfect alibi, with neither a motive nor the opportunity to commit the crime, which undoubtedly made the case even more baffling.

Could it be like what Kube Rokuro had guessed, that this Yamada Yonegoro was lying and the police had overlooked some detail during their investigation?

Chen Yu thought so but then he slightly shook his head.

Although the efficiency of the Japanese police was notoriously low and the higher ranks were full of bureaucrats, they wouldn't neglect their duties in a murder case. Despite not achieving the kind of all-star efficiency depicted in TV dramas, they wouldn't overlook such an obvious detail.

So what was really going on? Chen Yu rubbed his own chin, somewhat at a loss.

While Chen Yu was contemplating the different possibilities concerning this case, Shirai Reina suddenly knocked on the door and came in, saying to Chen Yu, "Professor, Chief of Surgery Kube has requested to see you. He says he has something to discuss with you."

"I understand, I'll be right there." Chen Yu nodded, put down the report he was holding, straightened his white coat, and prepared to leave.

However, he didn't forget about the matter of the report and instructed Shirai Reina, "Please send the DNA comparison report on my desk to UDI later, and give them a call to let them know that there was no issue with the previous result."

"Yes, Professor, I will take care of it right away." Shirai Reina bowed to Chen Yu, and after watching him leave the office, she picked up the report Chen Yu had left on the desk and returned to her own workstation to send the report to UDI.

"Did you call for me, Professor?" Chen Yu pushed open the door to Professor Kube's office, walked in, and saw Professor Kube chatting with a person who appeared to be a high-ranking government official. Chen Yu greeted them politely and waited for Professor Kube to make introductions.

"Ah! Mr. Chen Yu, you're here!" Upon seeing Chen Yu enter, Professor Kube quickly stood up from the sofa, greeted Chen Yu with a smile, and introduced him to the official sitting on the sofa: "Let me introduce you. This is our hospital's Associate Professor of General Surgery, Chen Yu. Don't let his young age fool you; he's presently our most talented doctor.

The broad-spectrum anti-cancer drugs and nerve reconstruction surgical techniques he's researching are currently cutting-edge medical technologies in the field of medicine. If he makes a breakthrough, he could win the Nobel Prize in Medicine."

"Professor, you flatter me. This research is still at the experimental stage. It will take a lot of time and practice to be truly ready for clinical application," Chen Yu humbly replied, while his gaze shifted to the high-ranking official on the sofa.

When Professor Kube mentioned nerve reconstruction surgery, the expression on the official's face had visibly changed, and this had caught Chen Yu's attention.

"Haha, I have also heard much about Professor Chen Yu's reputation; many magazines have reported on your research before," the high-ranking official laughed heartily as he stood up from the sofa and extended his hand to Chen Yu, "It's an honor to meet you. I am Kosuke Kanai; please take good care of me, Professor Chen Yu."

"It should be I who says it's an honor, Member of Parliament Kanai," Chen Yu said, recognizing his name and recalling who he was.

Kosuke Kanai, a current member of the National Diet, was actively working on pushing forward legislative reforms within Japan's medical system, with rumors suggesting he might be the next Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare.

"Haha, you are too modest, Professor Chen Yu. I am not here in my capacity as a member of parliament this time, but rather as a patient's family member. So, I implore you with all sincerity to cure my daughter, please!" On mentioning his daughter, Kosuke Kanai bowed deeply to Chen Yu with great sincerity.

Being earnestly begged in such a way, Chen Yu was somewhat taken aback as he was still unaware of the full situation. However, as a qualified doctor, he quickly composed himself and assured Kanai, "Member of Parliament Kanai, please be assured, as doctors we will do our utmost to heal every patient. We will not give up on treatment as long as there is a glimmer of hope."

"That is truly wonderful to hear, please take care of my daughter, Professor Chen Yu!" Kanai said and then took Chen Yu's hand, gripping it tightly as if entrusting his daughter to him.

Kanai was incredibly warm, a demeanor that seemed at odds with his politician persona, but Chen Yu could somewhat understand. After all, in addition to being a politician, he was also a father, and a parent's love for their child can overcome all, transcending any status or position.

During the subsequent introduction by Professor Kube, Chen Yu also learned what the matter was all about.

Member of Parliament Kanai, although a politician, had always maintained a good reputation without involvement in any scandals, and was known to treat his family well. He married his wife when both were humble and lived with stable marital affection, blessed with a lovely and beautiful daughter.

One could say, if Kanai did not have any hidden facets, that he indeed exemplified the ideal image of a politician.

And it was his precious daughter who was currently admitted to the hospital.

Three years ago, before Kanai was elected to the National Diet, his daughter suffered a lumbar spine fracture due to an outdoor sports accident, which resulted in paralysis of the lower limbs, confining her to a wheelchair.

Over these three years, Kanai had strived with the hope of becoming the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare, pushing for medical reform with the objective of advancing Japan's medical technology to find a cure for his daughter.

Originally, Kanai had hoped to reach the position of Minister in five years, then spend another five to ten years driving medical reform to achieve his goal. However, the unexpected breakthrough in Chen Yu's research gave him hope.

This was why he came to visit with such gravity, and why he showed an attitude of entrusting his daughter to Chen Yu - because he hoped Chen Yu could heal his daughter, allowing his precious child to stand once again.

"Rest assured, Member of Parliament Kanai, we will do our utmost to heal your beloved," Chen Yu promised Kanai.
