Chapter 1334: Beginning to Clear Suspicion
Minister Xi glanced at Dean Cao calmly and said, "I have received news that there is something wrong with this Yuan Huan."
Upon hearing this, the dean's brows knitted slightly, and then he asked, "So, Minister Xi, you have already sent people to arrest him?"
"Do you think I'd be stupid enough to alert the enemy?" Minister Xi sneered. "A senior researcher who has been dormant in the institute for seven or eight years, do you think there's no one behind him?"
"So what do you want to do now?" The dean looked at him.
Minister Xi walked to the sofa and sat down, then asked, "Has anyone come to the institute now?"
"Let me ask." The dean walked to the side and made a special call.
Minister Xi nodded.
Director Wang, who was standing next to him, thought for two seconds, then walked to the sofa opposite Director Xi and sat down, "Director Xi, since there is new progress, should Lei Xiao be released?"
Minister Xi raised his eyelids and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Huo Yulin has not been caught yet, and all suspicions are still to be verified."
"To be honest, Huo Yulin is not in China at the moment." Director Wang repeated what he had said to Dean Cao earlier, "I can't disclose the research projects abroad. After all, they are confidential."
"What a coincidence! You're going abroad at this time?" Minister Xi has never been someone who believes in coincidences.
Director Wang smiled and took out a piece of paper from his file bag and handed it to Director Xi. "I also have a copy of the entry and exit record. You can ask someone to check the system now."
Minister Xi paused slightly, then reached out to take it. Within a few seconds, he pressed the earphone on his collar and reported a string of numbers to his subordinates.
Director Wang was listening nearby, his eyelashes drooping slightly.
In fact, he didn't know whether this entry and exit record was authentic, because it was something someone sent to him early in the morning after he agreed to cooperate with Huo Yao.
Within two minutes, Dr. Gao, who received a hotline call, hurried to the dean's office.
He looked at Director Xi, nodded and greeted him, then he set his sights on the Dean, still with disbelief on his face, "Dean, you just said that Yuan Huan was the one who took the information?"
The dean hummed lightly, "Part of the surveillance video from that night has been restored, and Yuan Huan is the most suspicious."
Although he did not say anything that would kill Yuan Huan, he was already 90% sure of it in his heart.
Dr. Gao subconsciously defended Yuan Huan, "We were discussing things that night, and then we went to the laboratory together, and we ran into the thief. Yuan Huan even fought with him at that time."
"What if he is an accomplice?" The dean glanced at Dr. Gao.
"There is no reason for our accomplices to destroy the product that we have worked so hard to develop..." Dr. Gao suddenly paused while speaking.
He remembered that after the batch of medicines was destroyed, Yuan Huan's reaction was not as angry as he and the other professors. After learning that the data in the computer was destroyed, he immediately took out a record manuscript and gave it to them.
After he read it, he vaguely felt that some of the data in it was different from the original, but at that time he was only concerned about whether he could replicate the potion, so he didn't think about it too much.
Later, because of the manuscript, the new medicine was produced very smoothly, and Yuan Huan even proposed to use it directly on humans. However, this new medicine was obviously very different from the one they originally developed.
The more Dr. Gao thought about it, the more horrifying his expression became.
