Chapter 1316

    Manuel gave a nod, "But the person from T5 Research, Mirabe, isn''t around." "Not around?" Ben raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised.


    "Yeah, apparently, the virology team borrowed her, and she probably won''t be back for a bit." Manuel didn''t think much of it. In Riverdale, with its myriad research institutes, borrowing staff was just part of the norm.


    Nodding, Ben remarked, "Quite the coincidence that she''s not here."


    "Hm?" Manuel didn''t quite get what Ben was hinting at and shot him a curious look.


    Ben shrugged it off with a smile, "It''s nothing. Do we need to tweak the data again?"


    "Yes, even though Mirabe''s not here, her colleague put together a report that''ll being our way soon." As Manuel spoke, he shed his protective coat. "Let''s wrap it up for today. We''ll have a meeting in my officeter."


    Ben stood there, lost in thought for a moment, before casting a final look at theb equipment. He was thest to leave theb.


    As the group headed for the elevator, Ben deliberated for a second, then hit the button for the third floor.


    Manuel and the other professors nced at him, and with a courteous smile, Ben exined, "I need to grab something from the experimental surgery room and check on that subject."


    They nodded, not thinking too deeply about it.


    The elevator soon arrived on the third floor, and Ben stepped out with a nod.


    ...


    The surgery room had already been spic and span, with all the tools neatly put back.


    Ben took a quick look around before heading into the changing room.


    The trash bins were empty, and every cubicle was tidy and disinfected-nothing seemed amiss.


    Ben absentmindedly twirled his ring, unsurprised by theck of any clues, and was about to leave.


    Just then, a thought struck him, and he raised an eyebrow, making his way to the pharmacy.


    The pharmacy had a staff member on duty. Ben greeted them but didn''t step inside. "We did an experimental surgery a couple of nights ago. Do you still have the meds list from then?"  swnovel


    The colleague nodded, "Sure, let me pull it up for you."


    Ben shed a smile and thanked them.


    In no time, the colleague had the medication list from that night on the screen for Ben to see.


    Ben''s eyes scanned each line until he reached the cardiac stimnt entry.


    Total quantity: two, used: one.


    His brow furrowed. If he recalled correctly, they hadn''t used any cardiac stimnt that night, yet the record showed one had been used...


    Pondering for a moment, he asked, "Could there have been a mistake here? We didn''t use a cardiac stimnt during that surgery."


    The colleague leaned over to take a look, "Really? There shouldn''t be an error... Let me check the storeroom."


    Discrepancies in numbers could lead to headaches during inventory checks.


    Ben agreed and leaned against the door, waiting patiently.


    That night, they hadn''t initially nned for any cardiac stimnt, but two were addedst minute. It had seemed odd at the time, but the exnation from the T5 guy had put his mind at ease.  swnovel


    The scent of blood, the cardiac stimnt, Mirabe being away, and previously being on the list for a


    break-in... It all seemed a bit. T


    coincidental.  Swnovel
