Doctor will never die in a hellish situation.

Everyone suddenly realized how remarkable it was that this person could notice such easily overlooked details while wearing a mask that obstructed their vision.

Aside from casting slightly admiring glances at Qin Duanyu, the researchers had no other thoughts. After all, it was normal for someone from the Major Crimes Unit to have some unusual talents.

The members of the Major Crimes Unit were wide-eyed with surprise. They hadn't expected that the doctor not only could correct documents, but also had such meticulous observation skills. No wonder Swire brought him here.

If this were in a skydiving simulator, it would be like noticing a pixel in the bottom left corner of the screen that's not the right color, then casually raising your gun and swinging it to instantly kill someone – the ultimate master!

"Basic operation, don't be silly. Pick up your glasses and shut your mouth. Is the God's perspective a joke?" Qin Duanyu calmly accepted the admiring gazes, silently exited the command module, and disappeared into the shadows.

Cheating? Can Xiao Tou be considered cheating?

The name I randomly chose for the word processing software shouldn't offend anyone named Zhou Wenjie, right? (Just kidding!)

By the way, unless it's a single-player game, I don't recommend using cheats. I won't elaborate on the second half of the title.

Section 69, Chapter Sixty-Six: I'm a Temporary Worker

"Texas, would you like something to drink?" Qin Duanyu breathed a sigh of relief as he walked out of the temporarily requisitioned director's office and said to the girl waiting outside.

Dozens of people in the research institute, from the director Zhou Wenjie to the old gatekeeper, were all subjected to rigorous questioning in order to screen suspects one by one. The workload was considerable.

Qin Duanyu felt this was even more tiring than reviewing documents in the office, and desperately needed a bottle of energy drink to refresh herself.

"Probably Dr. Pepper," Texas thought for a moment.

A few minutes later, in front of the vending machine located on the corner of the first floor.

"Why can't this thing accept cards? It's so inconvenient and unintelligent. It even let Lao Wei make six yuan." Qin Duanyu sighed, taking out her wallet to count her coins.

He felt bad about spending his own money. If he wasn't afraid of angering Lao Wei too much, he would have even charged Lao Wei's bill when he went shopping at Taikoo Li.

Ding!

The coin made a crisp sound as it hit the ground. Qin Duanyu hurriedly tried to stop it with her foot, but the coin still rolled under the vending machine.

Can one dollar be counted as money?

No!

That's fate!

Without saying a word, he lay down on the ground and tried to pull out the coin, but the beast was so eager to get out of his embrace that it rolled to the deepest part.

You only realize how short your time is when you need it most.

I tried all sorts of contorted poses, but I was always just a little bit off.

"Sir, let me help you." Just as Qin Duanyu was about to give up, a timid voice sounded from behind.

He got up somewhat awkwardly and looked at the girl who had called him.

He had long brown and white hair, a slightly worn but very clean robe, and a build similar to that of An Suo, who suffered from long-term malnutrition. He held a strange mechanical grappling hook in his hand.

Snow pheasant?

This little hen wasn't on the list of researchers, so how did she end up here? Qin Duanyu was absolutely certain that she didn't have Alzheimer's or any similar illness, and there was no way she could have overlooked such a special agent.

I originally wanted to use Swire's connections to investigate, but the little hen delivered herself to my door. If I don't try to recruit her, how can I organize the team to play matches?

"Sir, I...I'm not a bad person!" Seemingly sensing that the masked man in front of her was scrutinizing her, the little hen trembled violently, as if she had seen a weasel.

"Don't worry, I didn't mean to doubt you." Qin Duanyu tried not to sound like a creepy uncle and said softly, "It's just a little strange, the researchers should all be upstairs being questioned."

"I'm sorry, I'm just a temporary worker and I'm not qualified to be a full-fledged researcher." Xuezhi lowered her head with some shame. "Compared to the director and the others, I still need to work harder."

As she spoke, she reached the mechanical claw under the vending machine and skillfully retrieved the coins with a gentle tug.

"Thank you so much, you've really helped me a lot. What would you like to drink? It's on me!" Qin Duanyu took the money, bought two bottles of Sichuan pepper wine, and turned to ask the little hen.

If a bottle of beverage can win over Snowsick and lead to her joining Rhodes Island, then this deal is incredibly worthwhile. At least in terms of operator benefits, he's quite willing to spend money.

After all, only when you eat and drink well will people work hard to earn money for you.

"No need, it's no trouble at all. I'll just go get some water..." Xue Zhi quickly declined, but Qin Duanyu had already put in a coin and was looking at the drinks on the menu to choose from.

"Havana chili sauce? Aloe vera and bitter melon juice? What kind of weird drinks are these? Do people at the research institute have such unique tastes? Since you're Li Boli, this earthworm and sweet potato juice should be to your liking, right?"

"No, just your regular sugary drink, please, thank you."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse the hospitality, and also because she hadn't had a sweet drink in a long time, Xuezhi hesitated for a moment before bowing to Qin Duanyu.

"Although I don't know much about mechanics, I feel that your grappling hook is quite impressive. How can a researcher as talented as you only be a temporary worker in the institute?" Qin Duanyu tried to start a conversation while taking a sip of her drink.

"Sir, you must have seen the cranes used at the dock, right? Their claws use the same design concept, which involves the laws of mechanics and materials mechanics..." Xuezhi suddenly became interested and began to talk at length.

After discarding the bunch of incomprehensible formulas, Qin Duanyu extracted the following information: First, the pheasant's grappling hook is very powerful. If it grabs something, it will be impossible to break free unless the structure is forcibly destroyed by external force or it releases itself.

Secondly, many of the equipment in Longmen use this structure, and the specially made large grab hook has always been the second most profitable project in the research institute after the sweeping robot.

Finally, it turns out that the designer of the mechanical gripper was a little hen.

This was her first independently developed product. Because she didn't know how to use patent rights and promotional methods to profit herself, she simply used it to participate in an industrial design competition, winning a meager prize to buy a ticket to Colombia and begin her journey to pursue her dream.

Qin Duanyu frowned. In Zhou Wenjie's file, under the section for achievements, it was written in black and white: "Independent research and development and improvement of mechanical gripper hook structure".

It can be said that it was through this invention that Zhou Wenjie's research capabilities were recognized by his superiors, and he gained the key to promotion.

Embezzling scientific research results.

Such things were commonplace before he transmigrated, but he never expected that the people in the Terra world would be of such low character.

According to Xuezhi, when she was studying at Columbia University, her research was plagiarized by a small research institute where she worked, and the institute registered the research under someone else's name and obtained research funding.

Just then, the Third Research Institute of Longmen sent an invitation, and the innocent and lovely Snow Pheasant returned to her hometown with longing. She was exploited again in a different place, but she was still grateful to Zhou Wenjie.

Qin Duanyu roughly guessed the truth: Zhou Wenjie must have been a judge in that pheasant competition, and after realizing the potential of the snow pheasant invention, he immediately coaxed and tricked his way into getting the result.

Although he rose to prominence by stealing things and climbed to a high position step by step, his lies were eventually exposed, and he once again turned his attention to the little girl who had been deceived.

"And that smart robotic vacuum cleaner, I improved its internal programming, making it not only more stable but also easier to manufacture. For this, the director not only praised me but also rewarded me with 5,000 Lungmen Dollars," Xuezhi said proudly. "Although it was just a small job, if I keep working hard like this, I'll be able to become a full-fledged employee sooner or later, so that I won't let down the director who specially recruited me into the research institute!"

Five thousand Lungmen dollars?

Do you know how popular that smart robotic vacuum cleaner is? Even with prices soaring to 50,000 yuan per unit, it's still sold out in many places. Even without the capital to open a factory and produce it yourself, you can become quite wealthy just by using the patent!

This is more than just losing a watermelon for a sesame seed; it's like buying a watermelon only to have it stolen and eaten by someone else, and then that bastard tricks you into spending money to buy watermelon seeds to grow your own, and then splitting the profits from selling the watermelon.

More importantly, this silly girl actually believed it!

Qin Duanyu patted Xue Zhi's shoulder with concern and said earnestly to the girl who had been fooled, "Girl, don't work here as a temporary worker. I think you should have a better way out."

For example, they can come to Rhodes Island to sell gold bars.

Don't overthink it, everyone. It's just that the outline has reached this stage. The little hen is really a cute character, and her personality easily reminds me of those scientists who returned from overseas in the past.

Once this part of the story is over, the little muscular guy should make his appearance, and everyone will be able to see the beloved Kingslayer again.

A short skit will be presented later.

Section 71, Chapter 67: You are truly vigorous for your age.

"I'm sorry, sir, I don't have any plans to change jobs at the moment." Faced with Qin Duanyu's offer of five social insurances and one housing fund, plus guaranteed research funding, Xue Zhi was somewhat tempted, but quickly shook her head and refused.

"Even if your work is stolen and you are treated unfairly, does it matter?" He probably understood what Xuezhi was thinking, but he still couldn't help but frown and advise her.

It is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow.

When Xuezhi was studying at Columbia University, her patented technology was stolen by the research institute where she worked. Helpless, she wandered the bustling streets of Columbia. Just then, an invitation from the Third Research Institute of Lungmen gave her a chance to cheer up again.

The original research institute belatedly offered funds to try and retain her, but it failed to change Xuezhi's mind. She returned to her homeland with dreams in her heart, but little did she know that she had just escaped one danger only to fall into another.

Zhou Wenjie's invitation was definitely not for some noble purpose of valuing talent.

"My seniors told me that this is a very normal thing, that they have encountered similar situations, and advised me to think more positively." Xue Zhi smiled helplessly and continued, "Besides, life in Lungmen is much better than in Columbia. The salary is 800 Lungmen dollars higher, and at least I can eat steamed buns to fill my stomach every day while ensuring my research."

Let alone Swire, although she had her own purposes, the lives of the Guards officers had genuinely improved, which, from a certain perspective, could be considered a mutually beneficial and positive development, a very clever approach.

Take Rhodes Island for example. No matter how professional they are, they would never exploit their operators like this. This goes beyond feeding them grass and milking them; it's like squeezing blood out of an empty stomach.

Is this silly girl so easily satisfied? Where's my black duffel bag? I'll tie her up and take her back to Rhodes Island today!

Qin Duanyu was both angry and amused. These researchers under Zhou Wenjie might have indeed encountered similar situations before, but now they had gone from being victims to perpetrators. They probably even picked up some leftovers from that rat's mouth, which is why they were acting as accomplices to the wicked.

No wonder the snow pheasant had such an expression.

After all, one is a well-established professor, while the other is an unknown temporary worker. Everyone else is also tied together by interests. Even if she really wanted to expose the plagiarism, she would probably be counter-attacked by the other party.

Not to mention, the silly girl was so focused on her research that she had no time to deal with such trivial matters. If her pure heart had been corrupted by the filth and greed of the world, she would never have achieved so much.

A pure researcher, a hardworking genius, and a girl who is so "foolish" that it breaks your heart.

Unfortunately, the idea of ​​imitating the personnel department to recruit agents could not be implemented in the end.

"Doctor, isn't it taking too long to buy a drink?"

"Miss Snow Chickadee, it's your turn to be questioned."

Texas and Joseph arrived one after the other, so Qin Duanyu had to temporarily abandon her recruitment plan and return to the director's office.

……

"Doctor, these are the transcripts that were just recorded. Please take a look and see if there's anything suspicious." As soon as I sat down in the office, Swire handed me several documents.

"Oh, okay." Because she was still thinking about Xuezhi, Qin Duanyu aimlessly flipped through the confession until she saw a certain name that she disliked, at which point her eyes lit up.

It might be difficult to help the snow pheasant regain its patent rights, but it's really annoying to let this guy hang around in front of us. Even just helping the little hen vent her anger and disgusting this dead rat would be fine.

Soon, a bewildered Zhou Wenjie was taken back to his office.

"Where did you go between 8 pm and 11 pm last night?" Qin Duanyu looked at him and asked coldly.

"Sir, what do you mean by that? I'm the person in charge of the explosion-proof robot project. Would I steal my own research results?" Zhou Wenjie slammed his hand on the table, unusually, and asked sternly.

"It's just a routine inquiry about suspicious points. Cooperating with the police investigation is the duty of every citizen of Lungmen. As the director of the research institute, I'm sure you also hope to solve the case as soon as possible, right?" Qin Duanyu said calmly without any panic. "Or, should I ask my colleagues in the Major Crimes Unit to investigate?"

Whether it was the sword Texas brandished behind him or Swire's scrutinizing gaze, Zhou Wenjie deflated like a punctured balloon, his face pale as he slumped back into his chair.

"I... I also serve as a visiting professor at Longmen University, so last night I went to a student's home to answer her academic questions." After a long silence, Zhou Wenjie blushed and mumbled.

"Oh, what exactly is the problem? By the way, please tell me the lady's name, and we will send an officer to verify it." Qin Duanyu rested her chin on her hands, her mask reflecting a sharp light.
