Liang Xinchu imdiately replied, "There's also Engineer Xie Kun, who is also responsible for testing. Zhao Rucheng is in charge of testing the core sample, while Xie Kun is responsible for Core Sample No. 2. Both of them are in the sa laboratory, and the storage thod is completely identical."
Although the laboratory at the Thermodynamics Institute is top secret, it is equipped with caras inside.
Since only the two of them could enter, the suspicion is undoubtedly the greatest.
However, when retrieving the footage, it was discovered that there was no recording from 2:30 to 3:00 a.m. two days ago.
Not only was there no footage inside the lab, but the recordings from outside the entire lab were also deleted.
Obviously, the core samples went missing during this ti period.
Thus, the task force imdiately split into two teams: one responsible for interrogating all the staff who had access to the monitoring room.
The other team went to investigate the activities of Zhao Rucheng and Xie Kun that night.
After careful verification, none of the people with access to the monitoring room had any issues.
The deleted video footage seed to have vanished into thin air.
Moreover, on the night of the incident, Zhao Rucheng had not been to the institute at all.
His assistant could verify that he went out that night for a dinner gathering with so old friends in the scientific community.
Perhaps due to excessive drinking and joy, he didn't make it to work the next day.
The task force, through inquiries with the babysitter and interviews with engineers who attended the dinner, confird that Zhao Rucheng's assistant was not lying.
As for Xie Kun, many people could prove that he could not have been at the institute that night.
However, Xie Kun ntioned sothing during the investigation.
"When the new samples are tested with the old ones, there can be so loss. The new samples were scheduled for testing on the day they arrived, but the safety check delayed this."
If this is true, then the theft of the core samples was preditated.
The arrival ti of the new samples was calculated precisely in advance.
When new and old samples undergo testing, the missing five grams could be accounted for as normal consumption.
This could have been done covertly, but unfortunately, the babysitter hidden near Zhao Rucheng got caught.
The task force conducted a safety check at the Thermodynamics Institute and suddenly discovered the theft of the core samples.
In this case, the person who stole the core samples must be very technically adept and have internal knowledge.
But with Zhao Rucheng and Xie Kun both having alibis, and the surveillance at the scene deleted, what can be done?
At this mont, the case has reached a deadlock.
That evening, Chen Bin went to visit Zhao Rucheng in the hospital with a basket of fruit.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, he heard an argunt coming from inside the ward.
Chen Bin initially thought it was between Zhao Rucheng and Zhao Xiaoxiao, but upon listening carefully, it seed to be two n's voices.
The hallway was bustling with people, making it inappropriate for him to press his ear against the door.
In addition, with the noisy surroundings, he couldn't hear the commotion inside the ward clearly.
It wasn't until five minutes later that the argunt gradually subsided.
Only then did Chen Bin knock on the door and walk in.
Inside the ward, Zhao Rucheng sat on the hospital bed with a sullen expression.
As for the other man, he appeared to be around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, dressed in designer clothes.
His attire and deanor looked very spirited, but his face at the mont wasn't looking too good.
Upon seeing that it was Chen Bin, Zhao Rucheng imdiately forced a smile.
He was about to get out of bed to greet him but was stopped by Chen Bin.
"You're not feeling well; just sit on the bed. Don't move around."
After placing the fruit basket on the side, Chen Bin then asked.
"Director Zhao, how are you feeling now?"
Zhao Rucheng sighed slightly, still looking guilty.
Clearly, he was still blaming himself for the two incidents.
"I'm much better now, thank you, Secretary Chen, for taking the ti to visit ."
Chen Bin replied with a smile, "You've made a great contribution to the country, visiting you is sothing I should do."
Saying this, he turned to look at the man standing next to him.
"And this is..."
Only then did Zhao Rucheng co to his senses and hastily exchanged a glance with the other man.
"Secretary Chen, this is my son, Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu, this is Secretary Chen from Imperial Capital Aerospace University!"
Zhao Yu imdiately reached out to shake hands with Chen Bin, looking full of admiration.
"Hello, Secretary Chen, I've long heard of your illustrious deeds. I've never had the chance to et you before, so it's a great honor to encounter you this ti."
Chen Bin nodded with a smile, "I'm also pleased to et you."
At this mont, Zhao Rucheng turned to Zhao Yu.
"Go ho and get my phone charger, a phone with no battery won't work while I'm hospitalized."
The latter nodded and then turned to leave.
After the door closed, Zhao Rucheng imdiately asked, "Secretary Chen, has the missing core sample been found?"
"The colleagues in the security departnt told it has been found, and the person who stole the sample has been caught."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Rucheng looked incredulous.
"Really?"
"Of course it's true!"
"That's really great, who did it?"
"I don't know about that. The security departnt's notice didn't tell ."
"That's fantastic! If the core sample had fallen into foreign hands, the damage to us would have been much greater."
In the ensuing ti, the two exchanged a few more words.
Just as Chen Bin was about to turn and leave, Zhao Rucheng intended to see him off personally, but the forr politely declined.
Upon returning to his car, Chen Bin imdiately called Zheng Junjie.
"Have you investigated Zhao Rucheng's son?"
"No, why?"
"He's in the foreign trade business, and he surely travels abroad frequently. Check it out now, as detailed as possible!"
In Chen Bin's view, Zhao Rucheng is highly suspicious regarding the missing core sample.
Coupled with Zhao Yu's frequent trips abroad, he felt it necessary to investigate thoroughly.
Given the current circumstances, Chen Bin didn't want to miss any details.
Just after hanging up, a WeChat notification ca through.
It was from Ma Anna, "Mr. Secretary Chen, may I have the pleasure of inviting you for a al?"
Chen Bin figured she wouldn't invite him for no reason, so he agreed directly.
"Alright, see you soon at Imperial Capital No.1."
When they t, Chen Bin was imdiately captivated.
Ma Anna wore a black blazer with a low-cut white blouse beneath it.
Half of her chest was exposed, looking quite alluring.
She wore gold high heels over ten centiters tall, fully embodying a strong businesswoman.
Perhaps due to recent busy schedules, Chen Bin hadn't been with a woman for several days.
Seeing Ma Anna up close, he couldn't help but feel a wave of excitent.
During the al, his eyes inadvertently kept drifting toward her chest.
Upon noticing Chen Bin's odd behavior, Ma Anna's face blushed instantly.
She imdiately covered her chest with her hands and pretended to be angry.
"You're being too much! Who stares at soone like that?!"
