After a moment of contemplation, Roxanne suppressed her suspicion toward Colby and scanned the group of staff in front of her.
“Have you guys carried out the scheduled periodic inspections on the herbs and store lately?” she asked.
The staff in charge of the inspection last week hurriedly took a step forward.
“I inspected every single storeroom last week, and I've only left after confirming that everything was in order,” he replied.
Roxanne took a closer look at the man, and she recognized him as one of the experienced staff of the research institute. Hence, she had no doubt of his work ethic.
Every staff present knew the inappropriate storage of medicinal herbs could put the entire lab in peril.
Hence, nobody dared to take the matter lightly.
However, if there was indeed no problem with the storage of the herbs as claimed by the staff, why would the store suddenly catch on fire?
The more Roxanne thought about it, the more befuddled she was. Hence, she merely nodded at the staff's explanation.
“Now that the fire has been put out, other areas in the research institute are now safe. Do proceed to your respective workstations and resume work,” she added.
Then, she turned around and headed for the surveillance room.
It would appear as if only the surveillance room had the answer she was looking for.
Afraid that Colby might have sensed something, Roxanne hastened her pace.
She bumped right into Colby who was heading out of the surveillance room when she arrived.
As the two of them locked gaze with each other, Roxanne's heart sank.
Colby was wearing a gloomy expression. It was as if he hadn't found out anything useful from the footage.
“Did you find out anything?” Nonetheless, Roxanne decided to try her luck and asked.
Colby frowned and shook his head. “I didn't see anything.”
Roxanne knitted her brows.
