As soon as I stepped through the door of the School of Biochemistry, I felt a silent sense of oppression.
The students who used to talk casually during recess now had a tacit understanding and only dared to whisper.
Sheng Wantang captured the key words from these whispers:
Chu Yi, academic fraud.
Sheng Wantang walked into the elevator without stopping and pressed the button for fifth floor.
"Classmate Sheng?"
The fifth floor is mostly filled with teachers' offices. The teacher on duty in the corridor recognized Sheng Wantang.
"Teacher, I'm here to see Chu Yi." Sheng Wantang explained his purpose.
"I watched Chu Yi go from freshman to postdoc and believed in her abilities, but what happened this time... ugh! It's not easy to handle!"
The teacher on duty sighed and took Sheng Wantang to the office where Chu Yi was supervised.
Sheng Wantang breathed a sigh of relief until he saw Chu Yi sitting safely in the office.
"Chuchu, what's going on?"
Sheng Wantang held Chu Yi's hand, but the other person's hand was cold.
"The paper I published at the end of last month, others tested the experiment according to my experimental method, but they couldn't produce the effect in my paper."
Su Su looks ugly. Once this matter is not handled properly, her entire career will be ruined!
Sheng Wantang asked: "Is there any problem with your experimental process?"
"No." Chu Yi's face turned even uglier, "However, I later used the equipment in our laboratory to conduct several verification experiments... Even I... couldn't get the original results. And someone verified my experiment.
The result cannot happen, and there is no problem with the other party’s argument.”
Others can't do it, not even Chu Yi can do it herself. This is the most fatal thing!
The reason can only be explained by Chu Yi’s own deception!
Sheng Wantang frowned.
"Tangtang, I...I don't know what went wrong. I strictly followed the plan and rules. The results of the experiment were like that. I..."
Su Su comforted and said: "Chuchu, don't worry, we all believe in you!"
Chu Yi felt powerless and more confused.
"I have a clear conscience, but I don't understand why the results can no longer be obtained. The data were all printed by me from the college's experimental equipment. Obviously -"
Chu Yi suddenly paused when he said this.
Almost at the same time, Sheng Wantang looked at Chu Yi.
"I'm going to take a look at the equipment!" Sheng Wantang made a quick decision.
Chu Yi cannot leave the supervision of the college teachers now, and cannot see the instruments in person.
Although Su Su is a bad student, she is not stupid.
Since there are no problems with Chuyi's experiments and there are no problems with Chuyi's academic ethics, is it possible that the problem lies in the experimental equipment?
Chu Yi also said that when she did her own verification experiments, she used laboratory instruments, not the college's!
However, when Sheng Wantang rushed to the test building without stopping, the news he learned was:
That experimental instrument is broken!
"Sister, this instrument was used by students from the Department of Automation the day before yesterday to do research. It was improperly operated, causing the core parts inside to be scrapped. It is not cost-effective to repair the instrument, so I plan to eliminate it and buy a new one." said the classmate who received it.
Sheng Wantang's face darkened.
What a coincidence!
"Are the discarded instruments still there? Can I take a look? And who are the students from the automation department who came to do research that day? Can I know?"
The students gave the list to Sheng Wantang, but they still need to ask the college for instructions on how to dispose of the equipment.
Sheng Wantang saw a familiar name on the student list:
Ye Yucheng!
"What's wrong?" Su Su asked confusedly when Sheng Wantang looked at her.
Sheng Wantang shook his head and said it was nothing. He sent a message to Manager Shi and asked him to check all the interpersonal relationships of Ye Yucheng.
That night, Sheng Wantang saw a familiar name again: Yu Yi'an!
