International students returning to 90

Chapter 16 He's a Scientist

Sitting in the interrogation room of the U.S. police station, Lin Yi's face was so sullen that water dripped out. He sat on the chair with his mouth pursed, without saying a word.

He Qun's face turned pale with fright. If he hadn't been in front of foreign friends and still thought about national pride, he would probably have passed out straight away.

Because they were suspected of being "terrorists", even after entering the interrogation room, the handcuffs on both of their hands were not removed.

"Chinese?" The policeman glanced at their passports and asked.

"How is the hotel's electrical circuit damaged? Has the power supply been restored?" Lin Yi didn't answer the question, but raised a question he cared about.

Maybe Lin Yi's mouth was too natural, and the policeman who asked the question unconsciously answered his question before he realized it.

"The hotel activated the backup circuit immediately, and the impact was not too great..." The policeman suddenly realized that he was the questioner, and his face sank.

"FUCK, I'm asking you something!"

"All losses shall be borne by me personally, and the hotel shall list the losses and send them to the New Energy Center of Berkeley Simpson Laboratory." Still not answering the question.

The police laughed angrily at the Chinese man's uncooperative arrogance, "Do you know what crime you are charged with, terrorism! This is a felony!"

When He Qun heard this, he didn't catch his breath and just passed over.

Lin Yi rubbed his temples, "It's not terrorism, it's a scientific experiment. I'll talk about the rest when my lawyer comes."

Hearing the words, the American police uttered a foul language, slammed the record on the table, and slammed the door out.

Does Lin Yi have a lawyer?Before today, he didn't have one.

But just like Yanda always has two friends from Huaqing, Harvard students always have one or two Stanford students in their phone contacts.

Through a friend, Lin Yi contacted an associate professor of law at Stanford and asked him to deal with the matter.

The associate professor of the law department came very quickly. In less than an hour, a tall man in a suit and leather shoes walked into the police station with a bag, followed by an acquaintance.

"I'm Nick Brown, Mr. Lin Yi's lawyer, and I'm asking to see my client." Nick handed over his lawyer's license to the policeman behind the desk.

The police took over the lawyer's license and glanced at it, "Do you know what crime your client committed?"

"Mr. Police, I solemnly remind you that my client has not been convicted by the court, so please pay attention to your words."

"Moreover, I think this matter is just a misunderstanding. My client is a great scientist whose scientific research achievements have been recognized by the physics community in the United States. The U.S. authorities have invited my client for naturalization more than once. I think our U.S. police There needs to be more kindness and sanity to keep this talent for our country."

Nick talked condescendingly, fully showing the professionalism of a top American lawyer.

"Scientists?" Many police officers in the police station raised their heads curiously. The police officers in charge, who were sitting slack before, sat up straight unconsciously. Since the Industrial Revolution, people who have enjoyed the dividends of science have always been in awe of knowledge. heart of.

"Do you have any evidence?"

"I will provide my client's work information and his previous scientific research project information later, but before that, I hope to meet with my client to understand the whole story."

"Of course, this is your right." The policeman, who didn't look so easy to get along with at first, seemed to become milder all of a sudden. He coughed dryly and stood up, standing up to lead Nick the way.

"Zhuang, are you waiting here?" Nick is a lawyer and has the right to see his client, but Zhuang Cheng is different. Lin Yi is still, ahem, a criminal suspect. He cannot meet with others at will until he is cleared of his charges .

Zhuang Cheng nodded, found a seat in the rest area and sat down.

Until now, he felt that what happened today was a little unbelievable.

An hour ago, he had just had a phone call with a new materials laboratory in New York, hoping to further communicate with them on cooperation matters, but before he hung up the phone, Nick broke in.

"Oh, Zhuang, do you know what happened just now? Lin Yi! That genius is really an interesting person. Just now my friend called me and hoped that I would go to the police station to help his friend explain the misunderstanding. "

"Oh! This is really unbelievable! Did you know what crime Lin Yi was charged with? Terrorism! I heard that he did an experiment in the hotel, which caused a short circuit in the hotel circuit and caused panic among the guests. Funny!"

Zhuang Cheng showed an expression of disbelief, "Terrorism?"

"Yes yes, are you interested in taking a trip with me to meet our great scientist and see what great experiments he has done to get himself into the police station?" Nick's face was completely A look of gloating.

The scene of Lin Yi calmly and confidently describing his experimental design appeared in Zhuang Cheng's mind, and he couldn't help being dumbfounded. How can there be such a big contrast between the front and back of a person?

Nick walked into the interrogation room and whistled when he saw Lin Yi with a dark complexion.

"Hello, let me introduce myself, Nick Brown, Adams' friend and your current lawyer." Nick sat down opposite Lin Yi, and stretched out his hand with a smile.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that it's not convenient for you to shake hands now." He seemed to look regretfully at Lin Yi's handcuffed hands.

Lin Yi... This lawyer is really unpleasant.

"Aren't you going to introduce yourself?" Nick asked with great interest.

No matter how unpleasant he was, he was here to help him. Lin Yi understood the basic manners.

"Lin Yi, from Huaguo, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley, and a part-time researcher at Simpson Laboratory, engaged in research on new materials."

"Oh, I know this, Professor Zhuang Chengzhuang, you know it, I heard him mention you."

"He... What did he say about me?" Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, and he immediately entered the working state, trying to get some news from Nick so that he could prescribe the right medicine to get this cooperation opportunity.

"He said you are amazing." Nick also forgot whether he said this sentence or Zhuang Cheng said it, but in order to quickly establish a good cooperative relationship with the person involved, he didn't mind telling some white lies.

For the first time, Lin Yi felt the feeling of being "flattered". His complexion, which had been dark all afternoon, could not help but warm up a lot, and even his tone of speech softened. face.

He leaned back slightly, leaned back in the chair relaxedly, and clasped his hands flat on the table.

"Mr. Brown, thank you very much for taking this trip. This matter is a misunderstanding. I am doing a small experiment in the hotel room and need to borrow a current. You know, for us scientific scientists, the circuit It's not a problem at all, but maybe because of incomplete preparation and careful inspection of the equipment, there was a little problem."

"I am willing to take full responsibility for the hotel's compensation, including the compensation for the guests, so please explain to the police that I am really not a terrorist." Lin Yi showed a suitable expression of anxiety and gratitude, which was very easy to let People have a good impression.

Nick nodded, "Of course, this is my responsibility. But can you tell me what kind of experiment this is? If you can't, don't force it. I know what confidentiality regulations you researchers have. Zhuang once told me about it."

"There's nothing to keep secret, a small experiment of high-temperature superconducting cables, very rough." His eyes flashed, "You have a good relationship with Professor Zhuang?"

"Yes, we are very good friends. When Zhuang first came to the United States, he was a very small one. I think he was not as old as my younger brother who was in junior high school. He boarded with us. I had just passed the entrance examination Stanford's Juris Doctor, Zhuang You happened to be admitted to Stanford, and we got along very well."

"Professor Zhuang is very lucky to meet a friend like you."

Every word in this sentence is fine, but when added together, Nick has an illusion, as if Zhuang Cheng and Lin Yi are together, and he has become an outsider instead.

So-and-so, so-and-so is very lucky to meet a friend like you, don’t you feel familiar with this sentence pattern?

Although Nick felt weird, he didn't think much about it.

"Thank you, let's get back to business. I need you to provide proof of your current work and some scientific research results to explain your identity as a scientist. As for explaining what you did at that time, it was just an accident of a scientific experiment. It would be a good choice to do an experiment.”

"Of course, if this matter involves technical secrets, just pretend that I didn't say anything." Nick obviously knows the way of scientific researchers.

Lin Yi chuckled, "Just do as you say, there is nothing to keep secret."

Even if Lin Yi went through the experiment in detail from beginning to end, the policemen wouldn't be able to see anything. You can understand it as a top student's disdain for the scumbags.

"Great, I'm very glad that we have reached an agreement. By the way, is the high-temperature superconducting cable experiment you mentioned practicing Zhuang's theory? I think he will be very happy to see the experimental process."

Nick reached out his hand and shook hands with Lin Yi, although the posture was a bit weird because of the handcuffs.

Lin Yi had a bad premonition in his heart. He was silent for a few seconds, but he still couldn't help asking, "Professor Zhuang knows about this?"

Nick's eyes widened in surprise, "Didn't I say? Zhuang is outside."

a bolt from the blue!

The smile on Lin Yi's face could no longer be maintained, and Zhuang Cheng found out about this stupid thing he did!Lin Yi's current mood is like those fans in the later generations picking their noses and being caught by their idols. Their hearts are full of turmoil and mixed feelings, which are difficult to express in words.

"Hehehehe, what a coincidence..."
