The lab has a lot of work to do, and in theory, everyone should be assigned enough tasks to keep them busy for a long time.

However, none of them were willing to connect with Feng Qingyue, so Feng Qingyue happily watched the drama in this busy place.

Susan was clearly distracted, making several mistakes while coordinating experimental data with other lab technicians.

Even when she needed to sign, her hand trembled slightly. Several lab technicians asked her with concern if she was feeling unwell. She forced a smile and said she was fine.

During such extremely busy times, it's easy to spot staff absences.

Soon, the voices of the lab technicians complained: "What is Zhang Yan doing? He's been gone for so long getting experimental materials from the alien plant confinement area."

"That's right, wasn't his hand healed?"

"What was he doing at this crucial moment when we were getting experimental data? He was dragging his feet."

Hearing those complaints, Susan's left hand, hidden inside her white coat, clenched tightly unconsciously until her knuckles turned white.

Feng Qingyue looked away from the screen and gazed meaningfully at Susan.

I'm afraid that Zhang Yan will never come back.

A lab technician came to Susan to complain: "Sister Su, Zhang Yan has disappeared. We tried to contact him through the personal terminal, but he didn't reply."

Susan frowned, feigning anger. After thinking for a moment, she looked at Feng Qingyue: "Qingyue, everyone else here is busy with their own things. Could you go to the alien plant detention area and look for Zhang Yan?"

Feng Qingyue looked at Susan and caught a hint of expectation on her face.

She stood up decisively: "Okay, I'll go take a look."

Feng Qingyue walked briskly to the area where the alien plants were being held, and she immediately spotted the cabinet where the corpse was hidden.

However, she had no interest in opening it and causing herself unnecessary trouble. After wandering around the alien plant confinement area for a while to make sure the surveillance cameras could capture her, she turned around and went back.

Seeing the girl return calmly, Susan rushed to greet her: "Didn't you find him?"

Feng Qingyue shrugged: "I couldn't find him. He probably went out."

Susan was getting a little anxious: "Didn't you look at other places?"

Feng Qingyue raised an eyebrow, her tone languid: "What? Someone that big wouldn't hide in a closet, would they?"

Triggered certain keywords, and Susan's face turned pale. She stared intently at Feng Qingyue, trying to discern something from her expression.

Seeing that she was really just making a casual joke, Susan breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

She paced back and forth, feigning anxiety, to conceal her inner turmoil.

The afternoon passed quickly amidst the lab technicians' grumbling and cursing. Seeing that they still hadn't found Zhang Yan, the lab technicians gave up.

After all, we're all just working people. Who would go to the extra trouble of finding a colleague? We're all adults, what could possibly happen to us?

The next day, Feng Qingyue, with a spectator's attitude, leisurely sat down to analyze the data while snacking on her own.

A young girl was ordered to retrieve a material collector from the alien plant confinement area. She had barely stepped inside when a scream loud enough to shatter eardrums broke the tranquility of the laboratory.

The little girl cried her heart out. When she saw people, her previously restrained emotions instantly burst forth like a lake bursting its banks. She wailed and sobbed, incoherently recounting what had happened to her.

When the lab technicians heard that a corpse had been found in the cabinet, they were alarmed. They immediately put down their experimental data and rushed to the area where the alien plants were being held.

They looked at the corpse lying on the ground with fear and curiosity, and whispered among themselves.

The corpse had become stiff, curled up in a bizarre way, as if it had been in a cabinet for a long time, its face pressed against the door, smooth and flat.

He had multiple horrific knife wounds on his body, with the flesh turned outwards at the wounds, and the entire lab coat was stained red, making it a shocking sight.

One of the lab technicians recognized the body as Zhang Yan, and felt a chill when he thought about how they hadn't searched for him properly the day before.

A murder occurred in the laboratory, and the interstellar police quickly arrived at the scene, accompanied by Ji Yuan.

In fact, as a member of the military, Jiyuan didn't need to concern himself with such matters.

However, since this happened to a girl, Ji Yuan rushed over as soon as he learned of it.

The moment he entered, his gaze was fixed on the little girl. Seeing her sitting at the back of the crowd, eating snacks without a care in the world, Ji Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The police were very efficient. They quickly scanned the scene, generated a real-time animation on their computers, and then removed the body, preparing to take everyone present back to the police station for routine questioning.

When they asked Feng Qingyue, their tone became slightly more serious: "You said you went to that area where the alien plants were imprisoned?"

Feng Qingyue lowered her eyes and fiddled with her fingers, looking nonchalant: "Yes, Team Leader Susan asked me to go there and see if Zhang Yan is there."

Looking up at the serious-looking policeman, Feng Qingyue stretched and said, "But I didn't find anyone, so I left."

One of the police officers pulled up the surveillance footage from that time. Seeing that the content matched what she said, they nodded and continued to ask, "Didn't you feel anything strange? To be honest, some of the surveillance footage from the alien plant detention area was deleted."

The forensic report confirms that the time of death coincides perfectly with the time the surveillance footage was deleted. What are your thoughts on this?

Feng Qingyue raised her eyes and stared intently at the police officer in front of her: "So the murderer deleted the surveillance footage?"

The police officer looked at the pure and lovely girl in front of him, sighed, and showed her a video: "This is the video we reconstructed. Is this you?"

Feng Qingyue looked at herself "killing" inside, her eyes gradually turning cold: Waiting here? How wonderful.

The police officer said sternly, "We just spoke with the other lab technicians and Miss Susan, and they all identified you as the only one who went to the alien plant confinement area."

Seemingly not believing that the young girl in front of them could be the cold-blooded murderer in the video, the police carefully considered their words: "This video is a reconstruction we made, we have examined it, and there is no possibility that it was forged."

If you confess now, you might still get lenient treatment.

A cold glint flashed in Feng Qingyue's eyes: So Susan didn't tell outsiders she went to the alien plant detention area? She went there secretly when no one was looking. No wonder Zhang Yan was so surprised to see her.

He was not only surprised by the strange state of the alien plants, but also by the appearance of Susan!

What a big game of chess.

Feng Qingyue smiled at the police officer: "What if I said this video is fake? Would you believe me?"

The police officer slammed his hand on the table: "What do you think?! The technical department checked it immediately, and there's no sign of it being faked!"

Feng Qingyue leaned back leisurely in her chair, her eyes fixed on the glaring lights overhead.

"Since you're unwilling to confess, let's talk again when we have solid evidence."

"Take her away and put her in solitary confinement. We'll wait until the evidence is conclusive before sentencing." The policeman slammed the door shut in anger, the force of the impact ruffling the little girl's hair.

Feng Qingyue was in no hurry.

Upon seeing the video, Feng Qingyue understood that Susan was trying to smear her.

She had once consumed Jiyuan's blood, so she easily established a spiritual connection with him.

She told Jiyuan about it, and she believed that Jiyuan must have already started investigating.

So all she has to do is stay in this "luxury single room" and wait for the investigation results.

After all, getting caught up in the struggle to prove one's innocence is not a good thing.

People always choose to believe the evidence they see, so all that's needed is to break that so-called evidence.
