Billionaire’s Runaway Bride

“So the suspect can only be between Dave and Dexter. But unfortunately, neither of them showed any anomalies in the surveillance footage!” I stood up expressionlessly from my seat.

Dexter quickly spoke respectfully, “Mr. Carter, where else would you like to go next?”This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I was still replaying the surveillance footage in my mind. When I heard Dexter’s question, I said in a low voice, “Let’s go to the experimental area.”

Dexter readily agreed and led me to the experimental area. Soon, we arrived at the experimental table where Aimee had been yesterday.

At first glance, everything on the table was brand new.

My face turned cold, “Who moved it?”

Dexter quickly explained, “Yesterday, Mr. Black and Aimee had almost used up the herbs and since the incident occurred, we couldn’t determine which component was problematic. In order to prevent a similar incident from recurring, we had to replace everything with new materials.”

This explanation was quite reasonable, even I could not find any fault with it. After all, this was a research institute, and if Aimee’s experiment could not proceed, other experiments still needed to continue. Dangerous substances from yesterday needed to be handled properly. However, now we were once again missing a vital clue to yesterday’s incident.

Dexter placed a few bottles of powder in front of me. “These are the materials that Aimee and Mr. Black used yesterday. I’m not sure if it’s because these herbs came from a different supplier than the pre-experimental materials.”

Upon hearing this, I looked at him with confusion.

He explained, “Although they are the same herbs, different manufacturers will produce them slightly differently, which can result in differences in experimental results. In the past, when we changed suppliers, we always conducted a pre-experiment again, but this time we overlooked it.”

I glanced at the bottles of materials on the table and ordered in a low voice, “Take these materials to my car.” Dexter’s suspicion was a possible direction to explore, and I intended to have these materials tested. Dexter immediately ordered staff to deliver the materials.

“Anything else, Mr. Carter?” he asked.

I was unhappy and replied, “For now, that’s it. As for the materials originally on the experiment table, try to get them back.”

He hesitated, “This…”

Sensing his hesitation, I gave him a cold look, “It’s only been one night since the incident. Don’t tell me those materials have already been disposed of.”

He stammered, “No… they haven’t. I’ll try to retrieve them as soon as possible.”

I stayed in the institute for the entire afternoon. In the evening, I left the institute and looked at the time. After some hesitation, I called Bill and asked him to come and collect the materials for testing. I then drove to Aimee’s house with the copied documents.
