"When we went to Kyoto a few days ago, Dean Wen kept emphasizing that the response to the emergency fever-reducing medicine was very good, and the higher-ups also took it very seriously."

"But it may also attract spy activities, so we need to be more careful in our daily lives and not be tricked by others."

Dean Qiao continued anxiously, "I didn't expect something like this to happen in the laboratory of our institute."

Who would come and touch the data but not take it away? It is very likely that it was a spy who took photos with a camera and then stole the contents of the data.

"Then what should we do now?" Guan Haiqing asked anxiously.

If the information is sent abroad by spies and other countries develop the drug and register a patent first, they will be criminals.

Song Chu said, "Let the National Security Bureau come over to check."

"We put the data in after get off work yesterday, and found something wrong this morning, so I suspect it was probably photographed this morning, so there should still be a chance to save it."

"Okay, I'll make the call right away." Dean Qiao also calmed down.

Then he said to a few people: "Until the matter is clarified, you all sit in the laboratory first."

Now everyone in the lab is a suspect, so they can't leave.

Although he believed that no one present would do such a thing, he still had to wait for the National Security Bureau to investigate before he could clear his suspicion.

The others also had a clear conscience and nodded: "Okay, let's get the National Security comrades to check it out."

Dean Qiao returned to the laboratory after making the call.

Song Chu asked him, "Dean Qiao, besides the few of us here, does anyone else have the key to the laboratory door?"

Dean Qiao thought for a moment and replied, "We are the only ones who have the key."

Song Chu had already checked and found that the lock on the door was intact and there was no sign of having been tampered with, so the person who came in to look through the documents must have had the key.

She just observed the people present and found that their emotional fluctuations were normal, which meant that they did not have any guilty conscience.

This means that no one present was the perpetrator.

She stroked her chin and thought for a while, then suddenly asked, "Does Assistant Luo who left earlier have the key?"

Dean Qiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Guan Haiqing, "Did Luo Chunqiu return the key to the laboratory to you?"

According to the usual procedures, after Guan Haiqing cancelled Luo Chunqiu's assistant position, she was no longer allowed to enter the laboratory without permission, and she had to hand in the key immediately.

Guan Haiqing's face darkened. "No, I talked to her the day I cancelled her assistant position and asked her for the key. She said she forgot it at home and asked me to bring it tomorrow."

"Then we went to Kyoto. After we came back, we were busy all the time. I forgot about it, and she didn't hand it back on her own initiative."

He really found it a little hard to imagine and didn't believe that his assistant would be a spy.

But judging by the narrow-mindedness that Luo Chunqiu had shown recently, he was afraid that she would be used by others to do something stupid.

Upon hearing this, Dean Qiao immediately said to He Zheng, "Go downstairs and see if Luo Chunqiu is still in the office. If she is, keep an eye on her and don't let her leave the institute. Also check who she has come into contact with."

He Zheng's office is just opposite Luo Chunqiu, so it is easier to follow him.

He Zheng nodded nervously: "Okay, I'll go right away."

Everyone present had no problem with this, and they all placed their suspicions on Luo Chunqiu.

He Zheng had just left for two minutes when people from Guoan arrived.

Song Chu didn't expect that it was an acquaintance.

Yan Fei walked in with his men and saw Song Chu at a glance.

"Comrade Song, did you report the case?" He was surprised for a moment, but quickly calmed down and spoke.

Song Chu nodded: "Our Dean Qiao reported that we suspected that the important new drug information in the laboratory was stolen."

Yan Fei asked: "Please tell me what happened."

Dean Qiao gestured to Song Chu, and she looked at Yan Fei and said, "Comrade Yan, the situation is like this. This morning..."

Yan Fei frowned, "In this case, the information has most likely been photographed."

"Go and call Luo Chunqiu over." He ordered someone behind him.

The man nodded, "Yes."

But before he could walk out, He Zheng ran back panting.

"Dean Qiao, Luo Chunqiu is no longer in the institute."

Dean Qiao's expression changed, "What's going on?"

He Zheng replied: "I just went downstairs and found that she was not in the office, so I went to look for her."

"Someone said she came in the morning, but she never came back to the office after she left. I went to ask Director Wu again."

"He said Luo Chunqiu's child was sick, so she came this morning to ask for leave and went back."

"I asked about the time, and she's expected to be gone in about twenty minutes."

Coming here suddenly and then asking for leave to go home is very suspicious.

Yan Fei said without hesitation: "Chase him quickly."

He asked one of his subordinates to stay and told everyone in the laboratory not to leave.

Then he took his men downstairs, found Luo Chunqiu's office, took something she often used, and left quickly.

After leaving the institute, he let the police dog sniff the thing.

The police dog ran quickly in one direction and they chased after it in the car.

On the other side, Guan Haiqing looked guilty and anxious.

He really didn't expect that Luo Chunqiu might be involved in espionage activities involving theft of information. She suddenly asked for leave and left, and he couldn't believe such a coincidence.

He sighed and said, "If she really took the information and sent it out, I will also be responsible."

If he hadn't been so busy that he forgot and hadn't suspected Luo Chunqiu, and had remembered to take the key back, this wouldn't have happened. He was wrong.

Dean Qiao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Now is not the time to hold her accountable. Who would have thought that she would do such a thing?"

"Besides, we can't be sure that she did it now. Let's wait for the comrades from the National Security Bureau to come back and take a look."

Then he looked at Song Chu and asked, "Xiao Song, if your new drug information is lost, will it be a big problem?"

Song Chu replied: "My copy of the information only contains preliminary plans and some pharmacological formulas. If it is lost, it will not be a big problem, but if it is sent to an expert who is proficient in pharmaceutical manufacturing, he may use my information as a basis for research."

Fortunately, the most important things are all in my mind, and the key points and inspirations written down are also placed in the space, and only a small part is placed in the safe.

"I just hope that the comrades from the National Security Bureau can recover the things." Dean Qiao did not look very happy, as the lost items were very important.

No one was in the mood to chat and just sat there in silence.

About an hour later, Yan Fei returned to the laboratory.

Dean Qiao immediately stood up and asked, "Comrade Yan, what's going on?"

Yan Fei changed his solemn expression before leaving and said with some relief: "It was indeed Luo Chunqiu from your institute who did it. When we chased her, she was just handing a special camera to the other party, and then we caught her red-handed."
