Before the court session, Lynch received a call from the professor he had entrusted.
"Mr. Lynch, a sample is missing from the laboratory. I thought I should inform you about this..."
As a professor who could secure projects, he understood his laboratory and finances better than anyone.
No one could deceive him on these matters, or he wouldn't have lasted in this field.
In the morning, as he arrived at the lab to verify some data, he discovered that one sample was missing—of the five types of dried tobacco leaves collected from different regions, along with their respective seeds.
He didn't report to the police immediately but called Lynch instead, as you never know if employers sometimes prefer not to have the police or the investigation bureau involved in their work.
"I am a bit surprised, but it's not a problem. You don't need to panic."
"Just handle it your way. Don't worry about any impact on me. Is there anything else?"
