"It's very simple. Dashiell is right. Only Dr. Blanc and Edmund can enter my laboratory easily. In the previous surveillance video, Edmund deliberately pretended to be Dashiell."
There were surveillance cameras all over the laboratory. This was a known fact. The surveillance cameras allowed all work carried out in the laboratory to be accurately recorded, including the progress and changes of the experiment.
Dashiell would not have made such a rookie error, leaving a vague but recognizable silhouette on the surveillance video. This was intentional. Someone was setting him up.
"What an unprofessional move," Alexander sighed lightly. Although he was not used to such things, he acknowledged that the culprit could have done better.
"Sometimes, the simpler it is, the more effective it may be. After all, Edmund and I got into a fight two days ago, and everyone knew about it. Therefore, Edmund tried to seek revenge. It's easier for people to believe him anyway. Besides…" Lily turned her head toward the door. "He did many things, so it's even more detrimental to him."
"Is the little girl alright?" Alexander asked.
Lily nodded. "She's fine. She's almost fully recovered. When she's discharged, I think…"
"I understand," Alexander interrupted her, "I meant what I said before."
Finally, the frown on her face loosened up into a smile. She seemed to relax a little.
"By the way, there's something…" Alexander trailed off, a little hesitant to continue.
