"Old Gao, come here quickly, something happened in the laboratory!"

When Gao Shiqian saw the text message from Xue Dingding, he immediately dialed his number, and finally connected through three consecutive calls: "Hey, what's the matter?"

There was a rush of coughing from the other end of the phone, and Schrödinger's hoarse voice came after a while: "Actually, the laboratory exploded..."

"What?!" Gao Shiqian was startled, "How are you doing now, are you alright?"

"I..." Xue Dingding coughed frantically again, "I'm fine, but Xiaoye was injured, and I'm waiting for the ambulance to arrive."

"Is she badly hurt? Is the fire out?"

"Her arm was injured. I have already bandaged her briefly. The firefighters have arrived and are putting out the fire."

"As long as there is no serious problem, it is fine, how could it explode?"

"Oh, I was negligent! Well...the ambulance is here, I'll take Xiaoye to the hospital first, you go to the laboratory and keep an eye on her, and she will come after I settle down."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

Arriving at the laboratory, the fire has been brought under control, and firefighters and institute staff are salvaging equipment inside.Gao Shiqian wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped outside the cordon by security guards because he was dressed in Ming Dynasty costumes.Just as he was looking inside anxiously, he accidentally caught a glimpse of two firefighters carrying a man out of the laboratory. The man was covered in smoke and black, as if he had been injured and was waiting for him. The medical staff outside quickly loaded the ambulance and headed for the hospital.He wanted to see the man's face clearly, but unfortunately it was blocked.

Just looking around, Xue Dingding rushed back from the hospital, explained a few words to the security guard, and brought Gao Shiqian into the research institute.The two of them worked hard for a while, and finally put all the things that could be salvaged, and then they took the time to talk.

"How is Xiaoye, is there anything serious?"

"She's not life-threatening, but the burn on her arm will take a while to heal."

"In the end what happened?"

"Oh, I was careless..." Xue Dingding sighed and told what happened.

It turned out that since Schrödinger was assigned to work overtime by the leader last time, he simply stayed in the research institute and planned to finish his work early.After working overtime for a week, when the work was finally about to be completed, Ye Shen called and said that he hadn't seen him for many days, he missed him a little, and planned to visit him in the laboratory.He didn't even think about it, so he agreed.Who knew that not only Ye Shen, but also her cat Annie came here.

"When Annie arrived in the laboratory, she was extremely curious about everything, climbing up and down, running around, and there was no way to stop her..." Xue Dingding sighed.

"How did Xiaoye bring Annie to the lab? I think she has always been a well-mannered girl. How could she be so outrageous this time?"

"I think it's a little strange for you to say that now... But it may be because she's not in a good state recently, and she was worried that Annie would have an accident when she was not at home, so she brought it here..."

"So, the laboratory became like this, thanks to it?"

"Hey!" Xue Dingding pulled his hair remorsefully, "It's all due to my negligence, I didn't take care of it, and let it knock over flammable and explosive materials, otherwise such a big mess would not have happened!"

Although Gao Shiqian heard him finish what happened, he still felt that something was weird, and he didn't know what was wrong.He pondered for a moment, and suddenly the man who was rescued from the laboratory by firefighters just appeared in his mind, so he asked, "How many people are there in the laboratory today?"

"It's just me and Xiaoye, and Annie."

"No other staff?"

"No, the laboratories in our institute are all categorized and strictly differentiated, and mixing is not allowed. This laboratory has been exclusively used by me recently, and no other staff will come in except me."

"So did anyone pass by today, come in to talk to you or borrow something?"

"No." Xue Dingding replied firmly, "I can be sure that there are only Xiaoye and I in the laboratory, and there is no one else... What do you ask this for?"

"When you went to the hospital just now, I saw firefighters rescued a man from the laboratory outside the cordon. I thought it was a staff member of your research institute, but it wasn't..."

"A man? What man?" Xue Dingding was confused, "Have you seen his appearance clearly?"

Gao Shiqian shook his head: "No, his whole body was blackened by the smoke and fire, and he was far away, so he couldn't see clearly at all."

"And then, where did that man go?"

"It must have been injured and taken away by the doctor. That's why I asked you if anyone has been to the laboratory."

"Strange, is there anyone else who came to the laboratory today?" Xue Dingding thought about it for a long time, but he had no idea, and wanted to call Ye Shen to ask Ye Shen, but suddenly remembered that his backpack had been kept in the laboratory, so he hurriedly called Gao Shiqian and him Let's find it together.

After searching for a long time, the two finally found the backpack among the items rescued by the firefighters.When I opened it, everything was there, except for an extremely important item—Altair.

"It's over, Altair 1 is lost!" Xue Dingding was so annoyed that he couldn't add more.

"It seems that this explosion was intentional."

"How is it possible? I saw with my own eyes that Annie knocked over flammable and explosive materials, which caused the explosion. It's just a cat. Could it be that it did it on purpose? It doesn't make sense at all!"

"Of course a cat wouldn't intentionally cause an explosion, but the person who brought it into the lab could." Gao Shiqian thought thoughtfully.

When Xue Dingding heard this, he immediately got anxious, got up and shouted at him: "What do you mean? The cat was brought by Xiaoye. Could it be that she would do this on purpose? Do you know how much she loves Annie? It treats it like its own fur child, so how could it risk its life? Her arm was blown up just to save Annie!"

"Don't get excited, that's not exactly what I meant," Gao Shiqian quickly explained, "I also believe that Xiaoye is a kind girl, and I don't think she caused the explosion on purpose, but the injured man just now , and the fact that Altair was stolen, it has to be suspicious..."

"Anyway, no matter what, I believe that Xiaoye will never do such a thing on purpose."

Gao Shiqian thought for a while, and asked, "Did Xiaoye meet anyone other than you recently?"

Hearing what he said, Xue Dingding suddenly thought of something, slapped his thigh and said, "That's right, why didn't I think of this!"

"what?"

"Some time ago someone went to Xiaoye, and I've been thinking about whether to tell you."

"who is it?"

"Hey, it's Jinhua's ex-boyfriend Wu Qianyi who lacks virtue!"
