Chapter 401 So Cool for Ying Yuexuan [1st Update]
"..."
After those words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent.
All eyes were on Ying Yuexuan.
Pei Tianyi found it even more unacceptable.
Everyone has their own selfish motives, and as long as he abides by the rules and regulations, he will always favor Ying Yuexuan.
Within his privileged position, he could pave a smooth, unobstructed path for Ying Yuexuan.
After all, she was his junior sister.
Pei Tianyi never expected that it was Ying Yuexuan who actually stole the experimental data.
Furthermore, Ying Yuexuan also transferred this experimental data to Ying Zijin's computer.
The timing is too coincidental, and the evidence is also quite obvious.
Pei Tianyi had no choice but to believe it, whether he wanted to or not.
"Yuexuan." Pei Tianyi's jaw tightened. "Prove that you have nothing to do with this."
Ying Yuexuan pinched her palm with her fingernails.
Despite being watched by so many people, she remained surprisingly calm: "Senior brother, do you really trust her that much?"
"I told you, fingerprints are easy to forge. Who knows if she deliberately waited for this moment to try and pin this kind of accusation on me?"
Teng Yunmeng's baby face turned red with anger: "Tell me, why would Zijing forge your fingerprints? What about you is worth her forging?"
"She doesn't even want to walk, so why would she have the time to forge your fingerprints?"
Apart from Pei Tianyi, neither Teng Yunmeng nor Feng Yue knew anything about the Ying family's affairs.
Ying Zijin never mentioned it.
In fact, Pei Tianyi didn't know about the real and fake daughters of the Ying family or what happened afterward.
Only people in Shanghai and a small group who participated in the Ying Luwei incident online at the time knew the real story and inside information.
Teng Yunmeng had never even met Ying Yuexuan, let alone knew who Ying Yuexuan was.
However, having known Ying Zijing for so long, she unconditionally trusted her.
Upon hearing this, Ying Zijing slowly turned her head: "..."
She didn't know for a moment whether Teng Yunmeng was criticizing her or defending her.
But it's a fact.
The technological world is nothing like the spiritual cultivation world she used to live in, where you can float around or teleport thousands of miles at will.
Even the strongest martial arts practitioners can only develop their body's potential to the limit.
"That's hilarious." Ying Yuexuan sneered. "Then you can tell me what I can achieve by doing this, and what benefits I'll get?"
"Besides this tiny wireless USB drive that even its true owner doesn't know about, what other evidence is there?"
She absolutely cannot admit it.
If she admits to this, her future research career will indeed be blocked.
Science knows no borders.
Whether in Europe or China, universities and professors on both sides are connected.
Aside from secret research involving the interests of large families, these leading figures in the scientific community frequently exchange information and the latest scientific discoveries.
Once this matter is fully resolved, within three days, all the major laboratories will know her name and add her to their blacklists.
She cannot let this happen.
Ying Yuexuan pursed her lips, a mocking smile appearing on her face: "Who doesn't know that you, Ying Zijing, also know professors at Imperial University? As far as I know, this miniature wireless USB drive is already being sold within Imperial University. You and Professor Zuo Li are such good friends, how could you not buy one?"
The Computer Science Department does have exchanges with the Physics Department, but does Ying Zijin have the authority to ask the Computer Science Department to retrieve last month's surveillance footage?
If Ying Zijing were to hack into the Computer Science department and forcibly seize the information, she would also be blacklisted.
"Looks like we need to." Ying Zijing raised her hand and tapped the table. "Give me your phone."
The investigation team leader immediately returned the phone.
Ying Zijing took it, tapped a few times, dialed a number, and put it on speakerphone.
After ringing three times, the call was answered.
"Hello, Professor Luo, I am Ying Zijin." The girl's voice was calm. "Someone has falsely accused me of stealing experimental data and needs the cooperation of the Computer Science Department to provide evidence. Please provide me with the surveillance footage from the warehouse where the miniature wireless USB drive was placed for the past two months."
The voice on the other end was that of a woman, and it was very straightforward: "Okay, I'll go adjust it right away, please wait a moment."
Upon hearing this, Ying Yuexuan's expression changed once again.
She knew this Professor Luo; although he wasn't a professor, he was in charge of managing most of the affairs of the computer science department.
She also oversees the monitoring room.
How did Ying Zijing come to know Teacher Luo?!
Ying Yuexuan was completely unable to calm down, and cold sweat broke out on her back.
She wanted to leave immediately, but there was no way to do so.
Pei Tianyi kept staring at her, his eyes growing increasingly disappointed.
Fifteen minutes later, Teacher Luo uploaded all the surveillance footage to Ying Zijing's computer.
Two months of surveillance footage is a long time and will be very troublesome to review.
"We need to get to the bottom of this." Ying Zijing leaned back in her chair, calm and collected. "Go ahead and investigate. I don't know which day it will be."
"Don't worry about that. We have a facial detection system that can directly match videos that meet the criteria." The investigation team leader gestured for his team members to import Ying Yuexuan's ID photo into the software. "I apologize for the misunderstanding."
"It's nothing," Ying Zijing said calmly. "It's only human nature; I can understand."
With the face detection system, the video footage was quickly matched.
The date is April 27th, at 3 PM.
Pei Tianyi was also watching, and after watching it, his heart turned completely cold.
The surveillance footage clearly shows that Ying Yuexuan did indeed take a miniature wireless USB drive.
The movement seemed very casual, as if it had accidentally stuck to his hand without him noticing.
The investigation team leader's expression turned cold: "Stealing experimental data and then falsely accusing others is adding insult to injury."
“Yes, I did take a mini wireless USB drive.” Ying Yuexuan’s fingers trembled violently, and she pulled them into her sleeve. “Then how can you prove that this mini wireless USB drive is mine?”
Ying Zijing raised her eyes, her pupils as cool as snow: "It seems you are indeed not qualified."
Ying Yuexuan trembled with anger: "Ying Zijin! Even at a time like this, you still can't resist belittling me?"
The phone rang at that moment; it was Teacher Luo calling.
"Zijin, you're absolutely right," Teacher Luo said in a deep voice. "Indeed, a mini wireless USB drive is missing, its code is 78."
Ying Yuexuan's face turned pale.
A mini wireless USB flash drive, and it even has encoding?
How come she didn't see it?
The investigation team leader picked up the round piece of iron again, examined it carefully, and exclaimed, "This is Morse code."
The sheet of metal has several horizontal lines and dots on it, which look messy, but actually represent two numbers.
Two horizontal lines and three dots represent the number "7", and three horizontal lines and two dots represent the number "8".
Encoding: 78.
Invented in 1837, Morse code is an early form of digital communication and a type of binary code.
Ying Zijin had not studied it, nor had she specifically sought to learn it.
She had only heard Zuo Li mention this matter before.
The computer science professor who designed the appearance of this miniature wireless USB flash drive was very interested in Morse code and Enigma codes.
So when he was designing, he incorporated these elements and even boasted that if he hadn't mentioned them, people from other departments wouldn't have understood them.
Ying Yuexuan's face turned deathly pale, and her body trembled.
Do those dots and lines represent Morse code?
She did notice it, but she didn't find any pattern and just thought it was a design.
With the evidence laid out before them, there's no point in Ying Yuexuan trying to deny it.
Pei Tianyi clenched his fists, unable to calm down at all.
"Speak," the investigation team leader said coldly. "Besides slandering others, where else did you put this experimental data?"
"No, nothing at all." Ying Yuexuan gave a bitter smile. "This experimental data belongs to my senior brothers. How could I possibly leak it?"
She only wanted to cut off Ying Zijing's path, not to involve Pei Tianyi.
If she knew that the experimental data had been leaked and the research base would fire Pei Tianyi, she would definitely find another way.
"Take her away first." The investigation team leader didn't want to waste words with Ying Yuexuan. "If you do anything else, you can prepare to go to jail."
Now that the evidence is conclusive, the investigation team can take Ying Yuexuan away directly.
At that moment, Ying Yuexuan seemed to realize something and suddenly looked up: "You did this on purpose!"
She did indeed transfer the files from the miniature wireless USB drive the moment the investigation team turned on Ying Zijing's computer and began testing it.
Because the firewall is on at this time.
In this way, Ying Yuexuan could take this opportunity to transfer the stolen files to Ying Zijing's computer.
But now, she suddenly thought of a very important question.
Ying Zijing's computer skills are quite good; even with the firewall on, her transmissions could still be blocked.
How could things have gone so smoothly?
Ying Zijing stood up and poured herself a glass of water: "I told you, you're not that important."
She already knew about the data leak in the experimental area when she got home last night.
As one of the people who entered the core area, she is definitely a suspect.
So she was already prepared.
After arriving at this university town, Fu Yunshen gave her a testing device.
This testing equipment can detect trackers and other electronic products that emit signals.
It's an essential item for IBI agents and detectives; you can't buy it on the market or even on the NOK forum.
The sheer number of bombs reveals just how many restless forces are eyeing this international final.
