Chapter 961 Why Would I Be Unable To

Upon hearing that, the doubtful Roxanne and Madilyn exchanged glances. They had spoken to nearly all the research institutes that could develop that specific bacterium in Horington, and only that research institute confirmed that their laboratory had previously lost the bacteria.

Although it happened half a month ago, the bacteria could remain viable as long as they were appropriately preserved.

Madilyn was aware of that and didn’t hesitate to ask, “How did you guys lose the bacteria back then? Do you guys have any findings now?”

The person’s answer did not disappoint them. “One of the researchers should have taken it,” he said frankly. Madilyn was filled with confusion when she heard that.

“Although we have no solid evidence, we were certain about that. Two days after the bacteria went missing, that researcher suddenly quit. We haven’t heard from her since then,” the person continued.

Before Madilyn could speak, Roxanne asked, “What’s the name of that researcher?”

The person on the other end of the line was stunned by the sudden change of the speaker. It took him a few seconds to regain his senses before answering, “Her name is Nancy Lowther.”

Roxanne replied, “Got it. Thank you.”

Madilyn, too, followed suit and expressed her gratitude. “I’ll treat you the next time we meet.”

After exchanging a few pleasantries, he subsequently hung up the phone.

As Madilyn put away her phone, both Roxanne and she thought of the person’s words, and their expressions turned grim.

We have found a clue and the name of the staff who stole the bacteria. It will be much simpler for us to carry on the investigation. Moreover, we have a hacker—Benny—with us.

The duo shared a meaningful look. Roxanne then made her way downstairs to summon Benny over.

“Mommy, what’s the matter?” The little boy was confused when Roxanne led him to sit in front of the desk.

She tapped on the computer screen and said, “Please help me to investigate this person.”

Upon hearing that, Benny instantly focused on the screen in front of him with a straight face.

Roxanne shared with him everything she knew about Nancy. Only then did she realize the information she had might not help the investigation much.
