The little star from the Gobi Desert, handed over to the state, is hailed as a national treasure.

"Huh?" Liang Zhe was still under immense pressure and didn't come to his senses for a moment.

Master Zhou suddenly turned his head. "Young lady, what did you say? The medicine wasn't spoiled by a rat? Could it be me? I've worked in a pharmacy my whole life, but I've never made a mistake like this before!"

He wanted to clear his name more than anyone else, but the girl's words seemed to be trying to pin the blame on him.

"Director, please take me to the police station! I'm willing to cooperate with the investigation and let the organization clear my name!"

"Old Zhou, don't get agitated." The dean looked at his flushed face and was afraid that the elderly man would get sick from the stress, so he quickly advised, "This child is only a few years old. He was just saying it casually. Don't take it seriously."

"Hey, you can't say that!" Song Dazhuang was displeased upon hearing this and immediately stood up to shield Tian Tian, ​​saying protectively, "Don't underestimate Tian Tian just because she's young. She never lies! Every word she says is absolutely true. If she says it wasn't broken by a mouse, then it definitely wasn't!"

The dean was also anxious; they absolutely couldn't bear the accusation of "deliberately damaging the medicine." "Comrade, you can't say that! Everyone saw it with their own eyes; the rat was covered in medicine and broken glass, and the angle at which it fell matches up. If the rat didn't steal the medicine bottle, how could the medicine, which was stored properly, have broken?"

"That's not necessarily true!" Song Dazhuang's eyes widened, his tone full of doubt. "Why did this medicine break just when Old Qian needed it to save his life? What a coincidence!"

"What do you mean by this? Do you suspect we're doing this on purpose?" The dean's face darkened, and his tone became accusatory.

"Stop arguing!" Seeing that the two sides were about to clash again, Liang Zhe raised his hand in time to stop the argument.

He walked to the medicine cabinet and examined it closely: the top ten or so bottles of medicine were intact, but the two trays in the middle were empty, with broken glass and medicine spilled from top to bottom, and the rat carcass was also covered with medicine stains and glass shards.

The storekeeper, Zhou, continued to explain, "As soon as I opened the cabinet door, this rat fell out first, and that's when I realized the medicine was broken. Tell me, if I had broken it, where would I have gotten a dead rat to put here?"

"Sweetie," Liang Zhe looked at his daughter and said softly, "You just said that the medicine wasn't spoiled by a rat, so who could it have been?"

Before Tian Tian could even speak, everyone's eyes were already on her.

The dean couldn't help but speak up: "Good child, don't you know who broke it either? This is very important, you can't just say things like that."

Sweetie gently bit her finger and said earnestly, "Grandpa, Sweetie isn't lying. The medicine wasn't ruined by the mouse."

She took small steps and walked to the mess on the ground. The dead rat emitted a foul odor, and the surrounding medical staff instinctively took a few steps back, afraid of being choked by the smell.

Sweetie, however, seemed not to smell anything. She reached out her little hand, avoiding the shards of glass, and poked the stiff back of the dead mouse.

"Little mouse, who hurt you?"

This naive question left the medical staff present looking at each other in bewilderment, and Old Zhou even stamped his foot and let out a long sigh.

It's outrageous that an adult would believe what a little girl says.

But everyone at the base became serious. They had witnessed Sweetie's special abilities firsthand and knew that the little girl wouldn't talk to a dead rat for no reason; she must have found some clues from the rat.

The problem is, the mouse is already dead, so how can I give her an answer?

Sweetie, oblivious to everyone's confusion, muttered something to herself, glancing down at the mouse and scanning the floor. After a moment, she stood up, pointed to the medicine cabinet above her, and said, "Daddy, the spoiled medicine, there's still some!"

Upon hearing this, not only was Liang Zhe taken aback, but the dean also gasped.

"This child isn't just talking nonsense. There are clear records of all medications used and stored in the facility, and it's absolutely true that there are only two vials of Vitamin C left!"

The dean's beard practically bristled with anger. "If you don't believe me, you can check the files right now!"

"Dean, please calm down and let the child finish speaking." Dr. Sun quickly stopped the dean, turning to look at Tian Tian. "Tian Tian, ​​tell Grandpa Sun, is the rest of the medicine in this cabinet?"

Sweetie shook her head and said in her childish voice, "It was taken by Tall Uncle."

"How could that be? Where did this Uncle Gao come from?" The dean frowned, his face full of displeasure.

But these words made Master Zhou think. He pondered for two seconds, then quickly walked to the table and started looking for the medicine withdrawal records.

Sweetie, with her two little braids sticking up, tilted her head back and explained to everyone, "Uncle Gao Gao smells of medicine. Uncle Bad Boy came and put the mouse next to the medicine, and then the medicine went bad."

As she spoke, she walked around the medicine cabinet and straight to a small door in the corner, calling out in a clear voice, "Daddy, look!"

This door leads to the nurses' station, usually hidden by various cabinets, and only those inside the pharmacy know about it. Yet, Tian Tian, ​​who had never been inside the pharmacy before, found this hidden little door at a glance. The hospital director and Master Zhou exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming somewhat serious.

Liang Zhe strode over, and the others followed. Sure enough, the door was ajar, and there was a faint, blurry mark on the threshold, like a shoe sole.

The dean's face instantly turned extremely serious: "Whose footprints are these? The pharmacy is a restricted area, and this door is not usually used. Who would come in and out from here?"

The medical staff on duty in the pharmacy looked at each other and shook their heads.

The hospital director pressed further, "Has anyone from the nurses' station entered the pharmacy?"

The head nurse stepped forward and said, "Director, the pharmacy door is locked from the inside, so we can't get in. Besides, we usually use the main entrance or window to pick up our medications."

Master Zhou came over to check the door lock, then pondered for a moment. "Director, this is the spare door. If someone really wants to sneak out of the pharmacy, this is indeed the safest way. And," he paused, "I just checked the records. There should have been four vitamin injections, but the records from three days ago show that there were only two left. The other two were taken by pharmacist Huo Liye."

"Huo Liye? Did he have a doctor's prescription to get his medication?"

"He's a pharmacist, responsible for dispensing medication according to prescriptions. Our pharmacy is only responsible for dispensing the medication and doesn't verify the original prescriptions," Master Zhou explained.

"Go find Huo Liye! Have him bring the original prescription over for verification!" the dean ordered immediately.

Nurse Zhang took the order and left, returning shortly afterward with a puzzled look on her face: "Director, Dr. Huo isn't here. Dr. Yang, who works in the same group as him, said that Dr. Huo didn't come to work this morning and didn't submit a leave slip."

A hint of doubt immediately arose in everyone's minds. The dean suddenly turned around: "Old Zhou, isn't Huo Liye tall and rather thin?"

Master Zhou nodded slowly with a solemn expression.

The dean slapped his thigh: "Quick! Send people to his house to search! Now!"
