Xia Xingqiao and Qin Shan chatted while walking, the two walked towards the laboratory, and just turned the stairs when they ran into Shen Qingfan.

"Hey, Qing Faner!" Qin Shan called out to him.

Shen Qingfan stopped when he heard the voice, turned around and saw that it was Qin Shan and Xia Xingqiao, and smiled: "You are back."

Xia Xingqiao stepped forward and handed the packaged meal to Shen Qingfan.

"Thank you." Shen Qingfan took it, and walked towards the laboratory with Xia Xingqiao and the others.

"You weren't in the laboratory just now?" Qin Shan saw that the lights in the laboratory were all off, and scratched the back of his head in doubt.

Shen Qingfan said softly: "That's right, just now Professor Zhou suddenly came looking for me, so I went to his place, and I didn't come back until now."

Qin Shan laughed. He patted Shen Qingfan on the shoulder and joked, "Who told you to be Professor Zhou's favorite student? That old man is like this, he loves to boss people around."

"Who said it wasn't."

Shen Qingfan's tone was very helpless, and he couldn't help laughing after finishing speaking.

Hearing this, Xia Xingqiao also had a slight smile on his face.

Shen Qingfan was worried that the food would leave the taste in the laboratory, so he hurriedly prepared his lunch in the corridor.

But in fact, this boxed lunch was quite rich, and Xia Xingqiao specially picked dishes that fit Shen Qingfan's taste.

Xia Xingqiao and Qin Shan returned to the laboratory first. After a brief rest, Xia Xingqiao planned to continue with the final data sorting.

But at this moment, Xia Xingqiao suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some problems with his data.

If he remembered correctly, the last value Xia Xingqiao recorded before going out in the morning was not the one he saw now.

Xia Xingqiao frowned slightly.

He opened all the experimental data recorded before and browsed from the beginning.

After quickly reading all the data, Xia Xingqiao's strange feeling became even stronger.

In order to avoid data loss or damage, Xia Xingqiao backed up the data while recording.

But when Xia Xingqiao found his backup data and compared the backup with the data in his hand, Xia Xingqiao was surprised to find that they were the same!

Xia Xingqiao's frown deepened, and he swiped his fingers across the screen, browsing the previously recorded data again.

No... The more you look at this data, the more weird it seems.

Although Xia Xingqiao didn't have an exaggerated memory, he just felt that the current data was different from what he recorded at the beginning.

But Xia Xingqiao couldn't find any problems from the backup.

...to trust his own intuition, or to trust a backup?

Xia Xingqiao narrowed his eyes, the shadows under his eyelashes covered his eyes.

It didn't take long for Xia Xingqiao to decide - he wanted to start from scratch.

Science is rigorous, and there should be no mentality of "should be right" and "should be fine".

Since the data is weird, let him find out all the weirdness in it!

There was a soft knock at the door, Xia Xingqiao looked up.

It was Shen Qingfan who came in from outside after eating.

He tidied up the lunch box, and threw it into the trash can lightly. Seeing Xia Xingqiao looking at him, Shen Qingfan smiled and nodded at Xia Xingqiao.

Xia Xingqiao remained calm, but quickly looked away.

Before he and Qin Shan left the laboratory, only Shen Qingfan stayed here. If the data was really tampered with... would it be Shen Qingfan?

Xia Xingqiao didn't want to speculate on others with malice.

Especially during this period of time, they can be regarded as roommates who get along day and night.

Xia Xingqiao still suppressed his doubts in his heart, his top priority now was to finish the homework before the deadline.

The collation of experimental data is very cumbersome, and the workload is also very large.

Xia Xingqiao secretly sighed, she will be busy again these days.

Thinking that he promised to go on a date with Dr. Rong after finishing his work...... Xia Xingqiao had no choice but to say sorry to Rong Tingye from the bottom of his heart.

But fortunately, I've done all of them before, so I'm relatively proficient when I start over.

After spending another week in the lab, Xia Xingqiao finally finished the experimental data and the final homework.

When Qin Shan and the others asked, Xia Xingqiao didn't say that there was a problem with his previous data, but just said that he wanted to add more details.

"What does it mean to strive for excellence? Learn from the top student Qiao Qiao, salute!" Qin Shan made a gesture of salute to Xia Xingqiao.

Xia Xingqiao: "...I told you to spend less time surfing the Internet and learn some messy things."

Qin Shan gave a strange laugh.

After Qin Shan left, Xia Xingqiao looked down at the tablet in his hand.

The smile in Xia Xingqiao's eyes just now disappeared, replaced by ice.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and tapped his fingers on the tablet without haste.

Xia Xingqiao is usually so gentle that she doesn't seem to have any temper, but with her current appearance, it's easy to think of another person.

He looked at the data in his hand, one was rearranged by himself, and the other was before.

After comparing, Xia Xingqiao finally confirmed that the previous data was tampered with!

It seemed that his intuition had won this time.

If Xia Xingqiao didn't notice it, but used the falsified data, his final result would be quite biased.

This meant that not only Xia Xingqiao's hard work these days was in vain, but also his final grade of this course would be affected.

Xia Xingqiao's eyes got deeper and deeper, he never expected to encounter such a shady method in the top universities.

Scientific research should be selfless and aboveboard, but now some people with bad morals are stained with dust.

Xia Xingqiao felt deeply disdainful in her heart.

After finally handing in all the homework of all the students, Xia Xingqiao came to the security office and asked to call out the surveillance video of the laboratory that day.

"Damn it!" Qin Shan was still wondering why Xia Xingqiao came to the security office suddenly, and Qin Shan was shocked when he learned the reason.

Qin Shan can be said to be filled with righteous indignation, just as if he was the one who was tampered with.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is so useless? We must find out this villain. I want him to know why the flowers are so red!"

Xia Xingqiao: "..."

Seeing Qin Shan so angry, Xia Xingqiao also felt a burst of warmth in his heart.

Regardless of whether or not this matter had something to do with Shen Qingfan, at least he had made a sincere friend like Qin Shan.

Xia Xingqiao couldn't help laughing, he raised his hand and patted Qin Shan's shoulder, comforting him: "It's okay, we will definitely find evidence."

It was lunch time, and there was only one security guard sitting outside the monitoring room.

Hearing Xia Xingqiao's request to investigate and monitor, the security guard looked Xia Xingqiao up and down.

Just as Qin Shan was about to say something, Xia Xingqiao stopped him. Xia Xingqiao took out his student ID card and the approved application.

Xia Xingqiao and Qin Shan were not allowed to go in until the security guard confirmed it again and again.

"I'm sorry, student," the security guard called out the surveillance video, and said apologetically to Xia Xingqiao, "I'm mainly worried that you are not a student of our B University."

Xia Xingqiao shook her head and said, "It's okay, this is your job too."

After the security found the surveillance video of the laboratory that day and zoomed in on the screen, Xia Xingqiao and Qin Shan couldn't help but took a step forward.

The two held their breath in unison, staring intently at the picture on the screen.

In the surveillance, Xia Xingqiao stopped first, tidied up the desktop in an orderly manner, and then stood at the door looking at his phone while waiting for Qin Shan.

Although Qin Shan was in a hurry, he quickly completed the work in hand.

Qin Shan walked up to Xia Xingqiao and chatted with him. Xia Xingqiao still remembered that they were asking Shen Qingfan how long it would take, and Shen Qingfan told them to go to the cafeteria first without waiting for him.

The same is true in the monitoring. Brother Qin Shan can be seen hugging Xia Xingqiao's shoulders, and the two left together.

And Shen Qingfan was still recording something in the laboratory with his head down.

But when Xia Xingqiao and the others left for about five or six minutes, Shen Qingfan's movements suddenly stopped.

It looked like Shen Qingfan's cell phone rang.

When he picked up the phone, he didn't know what the person on the other side said. He could only see Shen Qingfan looking helplessly at the unfinished task on the table after hanging up the phone.

Shen Qingfan sighed, and simply tidied up the desktop.

Then he changed his white coat and hurriedly left the laboratory.

Seeing this, Xia Xingqiao and Qin Shan couldn't help but look at each other, and said in unison:

"Professor Zhou!"

That's right, according to what Shen Qingfan said, he was indeed called by Professor Zhou to help that day, and he was not in the laboratory.

It seems that Shen Qingfan is not lying...

Xia Xingqiao could be said to be relieved.

Because Xia Xingqiao didn't want to associate Shen Qingfan, who usually reminded them of the roll call time, and would take the initiative to help clean the dormitory, with that kind of thing.

Xia Xingqiao stabilized her thoughts, then looked behind.

Shen Qingfan was probably too anxious when he left, so he just turned off the lights in the laboratory and closed the door behind him.

Ten minutes later after Shen Qingfan left, the monitoring screen finally changed again.

Xia Xingqiao's eyes widened slightly, and his hands hanging on both sides of his body were also clenched, and the neatly manicured nails left small crescents in the palms of his hands.

Who the hell tampered with his experimental data...

Xia Xingqiao leaned forward, staring intently at the surveillance screen.

A boy in a black sweater opened the door and walked into the laboratory.

He was very purposeful, as soon as he entered the door, he walked directly towards Xia Xingqiao.

The boy is tall, about 1.8 meters five by visual inspection, but his body is very thin, and he looks like he will fall over when the wind blows.

He was wearing the same black baseball cap with the brim pressed down very low, plus a hooded hoodie, and he kept his head down, so he couldn't see the boy's face clearly in the surveillance.

The boy stretched out his left hand. Surprisingly, the back of his hand looked hideous, as if it was covered with terrible scars.

Xia Xingqiao snapped the pause button.

He looked at the strange boy in the picture, his eyes were cold, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
