He didn’t dare to walk in rashly. He was worried that as soon as he pushed the door open, the zombie would pounce on him, which would give him a heart attack. Ji Hongyi stood a meter and a half away from the door, tilting his head to listen to the movement in the office. He listened for a while and found that there seemed to be no movement inside, so he approached boldly.

As he got closer, he suddenly found that the lock on his office door was broken, and it seemed like it had been twisted with brute force. His heart “suddenly” jumped. Could it be that after Han Chi became a zombie, he broke free from the rope, smashed the door, and escaped?

He gently opened the door with his hand only to find no one in the office.

Ji Hongyi walked into the office and looked at the rope on the ground. The rope was basically intact, it didn’t look like it was forcibly broken. When he first planned, he was worried that Han Chi would break the rope after turning into a zombie, so he deliberately chose the thickest and most resilient rope.

There was a small pool of water stains not far from the rope. 

‘How can there be water here?’ Ji Hongyibent down and lowered his head to take a closer look at the pool of water stains, and there seemed to be some fine salt particles precipitating next to the water stains. 

Sea ​​water?     

Ji Hongyi was about to find a straw to collect the water on the ground, when footsteps suddenly sounded in the corridor, Ji Hongyi looked up at the wall clock; it was 7:30, so it was probably Secretary Liu who came to work. He quickly rolled up the rope and put it in the drawer.     Secretary Liu was startled when he saw that the door of Director Ji’s office was half open. Thinking that a thief had entered, he quickly pushed open the door and peeked his head in.    Seeing that it was Ji Hongyi, he asked suspiciously, “Director Ji, why are you here so early today?”    

“I had insomnia last night and couldn’t sleep, so I just came to work earlier.”     

“Director Ji, why is the lock in the office broken?” Secretary Liu stared at the lock on the office door and asked in surprise.     

“Yeah, I was just wondering about that. It was just like this when I came here in the morning. Fortunately, the important documents in the office are not lost. Secretary Liu, please arrange for a locksmith to repair it as soon as possible.”     

“Well, okay.” Secretary Liu thought about it, then said, “Director Ji, do you want me to go to the Armed Forces Department and get the surveillance video of the ninth floor?”

Ji Hongyi nodded and said, “Well, when I got off work yesterday, the lock was still in good condition. It is very likely that the lock was broken last night. You can go and get the surveillance video, maybe you can find who did it.” 

Although Ji Hongyi said that, he had another idea in his heart. The night before the previous day, he secretly adjusted the angle of the camera on the ninth floor. The angle of the camera couldn’t capture the corridor at all.

“By the way, Secretary Liu, go to the downstairs laboratory and get a clean test tube and straw,” Ji Hongyi glanced at the water stains on the ground and said.

Secretary Liu nodded and went downstairs immediately, and came up after a while, holding a test tube and a straw in a plastic bag.

Ji Hongyi took the plastic bag, squatted down, used a straw to suck up the remaining water on the ground, moved it to the test tube, and put the stopper of the test tube into the plastic bag.

“Hey, Director Ji, how can there be water in the office?”

Ji Hongyi shook his head and said, “It was here early in the morning, and it was probably left over last night. I’ll take it to the laboratory later and let the researcher check the composition of this water.”

“Then Director Liu, I’ll go to the locksmith first.”

Ji Hongyi nodded, “Go.”

After Secretary Liu left, Ji Hongyi went to the laboratory on the seventh floor and gave the test tube in the plastic bag to a researcher at room 706 to let him test the composition of the water.

After explaining the matter, Ji Hongyi took the elevator to the fifth floor. In order to reassure himself, he still had to go to Han Chi’s laboratory. Although it was unlikely to happen, he personally wanted to confirm that Han Chi was not there.

He came to Han Chi’s laboratory and found that there was only a female researcher in the laboratory.

“Is Professor Han here?” Ji Hongyi approached and asked.

Seeing that it was Director Ji, Zheng Siqi hurriedly put down the experiment in her hand and replied respectfully, “Professor Han has just come. He’s in the laboratory next door.”

Ji Hongyi was shocked when he heard Zheng Siqi’s answer, and muttered to himself subconsciously, “How is that possible?”

Zheng Siqi only saw Ji Hongyi’s lips move, but did not understand what he said, and asked, “Director Ji, what did you say? I didn’t hear you clearly.”

“Did Professor Han come to work today?” Ji Hongyi’s tone was very strange. It was impossible for something to happen. Could it be that Professor Han shouldn’t come to work?

Zheng Siqi nodded and said, “Yes, he came to work.”

Ji Hongyi nodded thoughtfully, and said, “You can continue your work.” 

After that, he walked to the small laboratory next door.

He looked through the glass window of the small laboratory and saw Han Chi sitting inside, like a normal person.     

He didn’t knock on the door, he pushed the door and went in directly. Without waiting for Han Chi’s reaction, he directly asked, “Why are you here? How can you be okay?”

Han Chi stood up, his face was very pale and his spirit seemed to be very poor, “I don’t understand Director Ji’s question. This is my laboratory. Shouldn’t I be here?”
