As Nicole walked and observed, she found that there were four surveillance cameras in the lab. All
were pointing in different directions, one of which was pointing at the freezer.
Nicole checked the freezer, and there was no sign that it had been broken into, showing that it was not
an outside job.
"Who else can come into the lab besides you?"
"No one else has a key except me.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m sure.” Martinnodded affirmatively.
“Then it is hard to explain it.Since the key is with you, anyone who wants to come in must come to you
to get the key.Without the key, they could only break in. the doors
and windows have no signs of being pried.” Nicole said after examining the environment in the
laboratory.
"Are you sure you have carefully checked the security footage of these four surveillance cameras?”
Martin nodded his head vigorously.
"Where are you going?" Martin saw Nicole heading out the door and thought she was leaving.
"I'm going to take a look outside." Nicole stepped out of the lab and looked around.
She saw a camera at the end of the hallway pointed just this way.
"Have you seen the footage from that camera?" Nicole pointed to the end of the hallway.
Martin frowned and shook his head repeatedly.He had never noticed there was a surveillance camera
there.
"Is it convenient to go check the footage of that camera now?” Nicole had a glimmer of hope for that
camera.
“I’m afraid not today.I heard that the hospital is repairing the wiring, and I guess we can only check the
footage the day after tomorrow.” Martin could do nothing about it.
“It’s okay.There is no rush.Check the footage the day after tomorrow.Contact me again.Don’t get too
wound up.This shouldn't be too hard to solve." Nicole patted his shoulder to comfort him.
“That’s the only thing I can do for now.Thank you for your help today,” Martin said politely.
Martin and Nicole walked downstairs together.
Nicole stopped in her tracks when she saw the sign for the hospital wards.
"What's wrong?" Martin saw Nicole stop and followed her eyes
“Were there a couple admitted recently because of a car accident?” Nicole asked.
Martin shook his head.
“Not sure.Was it your friends who were hospitalized?”
“No.It was my classmate’s parents.They met with a car accident some time ago, and I hadn’t had time
to visit .When I saw the ward sign, I thought I'd ask and see if they were in your hospital.” Nicole
continued to walk forward.
"In that case, I'll ask around for you later."
"Okay." Nicole glanced at the time.
"I'll go back to school then."
"I'll drive you." Martin drove Nicole back to school, and then he went home.
Soon, she finished school for the day and went home with Samuel and Spencer.
As soon as they entered the house, they saw Gloria on the balcony on the phone.
Instead of calling Gloria, Nicole went straight upstairs and took out her laptop to check if there were any
replies fromZane-there were none.
'Did Zane encounter something difficult?' Nicole's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately texted
Carl.
(How is your investigation going?) Carl did not reply in time either, so Nicole guessed he was busy.She
closed her laptop and went downstairs.
"Nicole? When did you come back?" Gloria was sitting on the couch, lost in thought.
When she heard a sound, she looked toward the stairs.
"Been back for a while." Nicole walked toward the couch and sat down.
Gloria's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of panic flashed across her face as she wondered if Nicole
had seen her on the phone.
