"Martin, what floor is your lab on?"
"Twenty-second floor.”
"Please pull up all the surveillance footage on the twenty second floor for me," Nicole said clearly.
After waiting for a while, the surveillance officer pulled up all the footage of the twenty-second floor.
"You guys take your time." The surveillance personnel gave up his seat.
"Thanks."
Nicole sat down and looked at the surveillance footage carefully.
"Nicole, there are some I’ve checked."
"It’s okay.We will check them again."
Nicole was afraid that he might miss the most important clue if he did not pay attention.Since Nicole
had said so, Martin sat down next to her and watched it again with her.
"This is the usual footage of you guys coming in and out.It doesn’t look like anything has happened
yet." Nicole turned off the screened ones.
"From these angles, there doesn’t seem to be a problem."
Nicole zoomed in on that surveillance footage at the end of the hallway.
"I ran into Joyce when I came out of your ward on the day the experiment was successful.I thought I
should bring her to celebrate with us, but she said she had some unfinished business and stayed
behind to finish up."
Martin looked at the screen and lied.
"I didn’t say anything else when I saw how insistent she was."
Martin’s eyes blinked more frequently than usual as he described the episode, and naturally, Nicole
could see that he was lying.
"Martin , I’m helping you with your investigation , and any word could be a clue.So be honest with me."
Nicole looked him in the eye and nodded at him.
"Of course, you’re helping me, and I will tell you everything I know."
"According to your description, she should have gone in to do the finishing touches after you left?"
Nicole watched the surveillance footage where Martin left, and Joyce walked into the lab alone.
"Right." Martin nodded.
But soon, Joyce walked out with her bag on her back and then looked around for a while before
leaving.
After this, no one appeared at the laboratory again until Martin returned.
Nicole could see that Joyce had a guilty look on her face when she looked around, but a guilty look was
not evidence.
"Martin, I see nothing amiss for now.I need to take it back and take a closer look.Can this video be
copied?"
"Yes."
Martin had it downloaded and handed to Nicole.
"It’s been a long day.I’m sure you haven’t had dinner, right? Allow me to buy you dinner."
"Okay."
Nicole also wanted to talk to Martin more about him and Joyce and maybe even get some clues.
In the restaurant, Martin ordered steak and other side dishes and a bottle of wine.
"Nicole, thanks for your help."
Martin picked up a glass of wine to toast Nicole.Nicole picked up her glass and clinked it with him.
"Don’t mention it.I have helped little, no clue so far."
"No rush.It’s useless for them to steal it, and it’s not that hard for me to redo
it. that I will have to waste some time.I just don’t want the thief to get
away with it."
Martin put down his glass to comfort Nicole.
"It’s nothing if it is just a petty thief.But what happens if someone who knows what they’re doing takes
it?"
Nicole reminded him of what was at stake.Martin’s hands holding the cutlery froze, and he looked at
Nicole.
"If someone who knows what they are doing has stolen it, then all the work I put into this experiment
will be wasted."Nicole wanted to take the opportunity to test him out.
"I actually just saw some clues when you and Joyce were talking in front of the lab."
"It’s not like she didn’t want to go celebrate, right?"
Nicole stared intently at Martin’s expression.Martin suddenly smiled and looked over at her.
"Still, you have noticed it.You are right.She had a big fight with me in front of the lab because I didn’t
want to take her to celebrate."
Nicole shook her head helplessly.
"Why did you hide such an important clue from me?"
"It is now tentatively possible to speculate on who took the results of your experiments."
"Who?"
Martin looked at Nicole with curiosity.
"Joyce."
