Colby was getting very nervous because Lucian still hadn’t replied to him yet.
Meanwhile, he kept telling himself the reason Lucian wasn’t speaking was that the latter hadn’t spotted anything fishy. As long as I didn’t mess up while doctoring the footage, Lucian’s
biggest suspect will only be Jack! When his train of thought ended there, he suddenly gained confidence, and he relaxed. After an unknown amount of time passed, Lucian left his seat without any facial expression.
Promptly, Colby asked, “Where do you want to check next, Mr. Farwell?”
Lucian was still thinking about the footage he watched. Hence, when he heard Colby’s question, he said, “We’ll take a look at the research facility.”
“All right!” Colby was relieved to hear that. Based on his expression, I’m pretty sure he didn’t notice anything. I’ve successfully fooled him with the footage. As for the research facility, I’ve already swapped out all the medicine on the research table. There’s no way I’ll be exposed!
As he thought about that, he cheerfully brought Lucian to the research facility.
On the way there, Lucian passed by many researchers. All of them were so taken aback by his imposing demeanor that they didn’t have the nerve to greet him.
Soon, the duo arrived at the research facility. Without Colby’s guide, Lucian strode straight toward the research table Roxanne used yesterday.
After sweeping his gaze across the table, he noticed all the medicine on the furniture was brand new. Frigidly, he questioned, “Who changed them?”
Hearing that, Colby promptly explained, “Dr. Jarvis and Mr. Damaris almost finished using them yesterday. Additionally, we weren’t sure if the medicine contributed to Dr. Jarvis’ condition after what happened. Thus, we replaced all of them with new ones to prevent the same tragedy from occurring.”
It was a logical explanation that he was confident even Lucian couldn’t argue with. After all, while Roxanne’s experiment couldn’t continue, other research still needed to be conducted at the research institute.
Furthermore, the employees there needed to deal with those potentially harmful medicines. All of that meant Lucian had one less lead to follow.
As Colby put a few bottles of medicine in front of Lucian, he said, “These are the medicine Dr. Jarvis and Mr. Damaris used yesterday. I wonder if it’s because this batch of drugs is from a different manufacturer than the pre-test one.”
Upon hearing that, Lucian turned to him with a puzzled look.
“While it’s still the same type of medicine, different manufacturers make the same stuff differently. Thus, the results of experiments may be different. In the past, whenever we started using another manufacturer’s products, we would conduct a pre-test again. It seems like there was an oversight this time.”
Lucian glanced at the bottles and ordered, “Bring these medicines to my car.” It seems like I’ve gotten a new lead. I’m going to have these medicines inspected first.
Speedily, Colby ordered the staff members to do as Lucían asked. “Is there anything else, Mr. Farwell?” he asked. hypocritically. Dissatisfied, Lucian informed, “That’s all for now. Try to recover the original medicines on the lab table.”
Colby panicked a little. “That’s…” I may be exposed if those original bottles are recovered. Sensing his hesitation, Lucian peered at him frigidly. “It’s only been one night. Are you telling me those bottles have been destroyed?”
Colby shuddered. “N-Not yet. I’ll try to retrieve them as soon as I can.”
