Heng Qiongsi watched as the monkey thief was played around with by the police like a monkey. She was very interested and said, "That girl is so pitiful, being deceived by such a stupid guy."
Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Because he's handsome, so he has a filter."
"The guy didn't even tell the girl his real name."
Wei Zhenguo also shook his head and said, "If she finds out, she'll be devastated."
"Will the girl be sentenced too?"
Heng Qiongsi was quite concerned.
She probably will be.
"She just wanted to release the monkey, not for the money, but she'll still be sentenced, right?"
"It depends on the thoughts of the prosecutor's office and the court, but whether it's theft or intentional destruction of property, she can't escape three years."
Wei Zhenguo, who had been catching thieves for so many years, added, "The amount is too high."
Based on his experience, if she's the main culprit, for a case with this amount, she would definitely be sentenced to more than seven years.
Only by including various factors that evoke pity for the girl, would it be possible to sentence her to three years.
Heng Qiongsi said, "In that case, her life is ruined."
"And my doctoral thesis is ruined too."
A gloomy complaint came from behind.
Heng Qiongsi was startled, only to find the teacher in charge of the monkey house in the corner, who she hadn't noticed just now.
Heng Qiongsi quickly said, "Teacher Wang, don't worry too much. Now that the monkey has been found, you can continue writing your thesis."
"One monkey is not enough."
The teacher in charge of the monkey house said with a blank expression, "I don't know what it was fed, but it's been vomiting and having diarrhea since yesterday."
"Was it taken to the hospital?"
The teacher in charge of the monkey house glanced at her and said, "The monkeys are not kept outside the veterinary building."
This novel is available on bit.ly/3iBfjkV.
"But... is our veterinary program relatively poor?"
Heng Wenxuan's voice was loud.
The teacher in charge of the monkey house's eyebrows furrowed.
"Then... let's take it to the animal hospital."
Heng Wenxuan persuaded.
"It hasn't been taken there yet."
The teacher in charge of the monkey house said angrily.
"So..." Heng Wenxuan suddenly realized and quickly shut her mouth.
The teacher in charge of the monkey house said helplessly, "After the monkey has been out of control for so long, and you know what it ate and drank, the foundation for the experiment has been completely destroyed... you should reconsider your thesis topic."
Heng Wenxuan inwardly exclaimed "This is terrible," and could only say, "It's fortunate that the monkey has been found."
The teacher in charge of the monkey house didn't say anything and left with a high head.
Heng Wenxuan felt helpless.
In fact, Qinghe College encourages teachers to pursue doctoral degrees.
Just like the students, there is no demand for upgrading from junior college to university.
For a junior college to upgrade to a university, the number of doctoral degree holders among the teaching staff is an important indicator, as well as the hardware conditions.
Compared to recruiting a doctoral degree holder from outside, it is more cost-effective to train non-doctoral faculty members to obtain a doctoral degree within the institution.
But in the current Chinese teaching environment, it is definitely overestimating the number of doctoral degree holders, and it is very difficult to obtain a doctoral degree.
If the teacher in charge of the monkey house's thesis is completely ruined, depression would be the least of it.
It's probably more stressful than reading for a doctoral degree for a year.
As they left the police station, they happened to meet the parents of the young man.
They were not a particularly special middle-aged couple. The woman wore a slightly new but old jacket, a belt around her waist, leather shoes, and a slightly bulging belly, with an anxious expression.
The man had a small wavy perm, wearing a blue suit inside, and was slightly overweight.
Standing behind the police station's reception desk, they asked, "We were told he was at the police station, why was he sent to the detention center?"
"The court has already made a ruling, why was he sent to the detention center?"
The receptionist didn't encounter this situation often and said, "The detention center and the prison are the same. The detention center is a temporary place of detention. If the court has made a ruling, he will go to prison. He will be held in the detention center for now."
The man said slowly, "How can they just send him like that?"
The woman said, "Yes, your son is still young. Just because of a few monkeys, why did they do that?" The man said, "You can compensate, right?"
The receptionist said, "If you can actively compensate for the victim's losses, the court will consider a heavier sentence."
"How much heavier?"
"Ten percent at least."
"How much do we have to compensate?"
"You know the specifics. I heard that a monkey died, and one monkey is worth about 150,000. Can't you negotiate with them?"
The receptionist didn't have much authority and said, "I only know what I know."
The young man's parents were dumbfounded when they heard 150,000.
The man continued to ask the receptionist, and the woman silently went to the door, took out her phone, and borrowed money.
Wen Lin, Wen Linyi, and Heng Wenxuan walked quickly and happened to meet halfway, and they had something to say.
There are always some people who don't cherish what they have and are crazy about pursuing niche things.Some people can't afford the price, and some have turned their loved ones into that price.
Seeing the couple, Jiang Yuan and the others decided to linger outside the police station. They went out, found a hot drink shop, and sat down with a cup of tea each. Then Heng Qiongsi took out the plan book and handed it to Jiang Yuan.
Wen Linyi was nervously excited, took out her phone, and silently scrolled through Douyin videos.
Compared to outside the home, the cost of counter-surveillance was significantly less.
What Wei Zhenguo needed Jiang Yuan's advice on was actually the selection of the monitoring system or the configuration of storage devices, which were all tasks for the contractor company, and they were also supposed to provide the reports.
Wei Zhenguo needed Jiang Yuan to advise on this matter from the perspective of the client.
It was somewhat like the military making demands to a manufacturer.
The performance you need to achieve, the guarantees you want to secure, the maintainability you wish to have, as well as your expenses and maintenance costs, etc.
For a surveillance system, using the best of everything could be complicated, but when it comes to spending money, where to focus the surveillance and where to be less demanding still needs to be strategically planned.
The company selling the equipment certainly has designers, but our work experience and position determine that our thinking may not completely align with that of Qinghe College.
Jiang Yuan didn't actually know Wen Linyi's needs too well, so he started by considering his own thoughts about Ningtai County.
After some deeper thought, the little knowledge Jiang Yuan had accumulated, along with the associated knowledge from image enhancement, proved to be sufficient.
Jiang Yuan was not verbose. Following the plan, he converted the merit he would later receive into Level 3 Technical Defense Monitoring Technology. A blue light flashed, and when Jiang Yuan looked at the plan book again, a small amount of information suddenly flooded his mind.
Standards like "Civil Building Electrical Design Specifications," "Telecommunications Dedicated Housing Design Specifications," "General Technical Conditions for Burglar Alarm Controllers"... A whole array of things that if one were to memorize... many people would probably do so.
Mainly because Technical Defense Monitoring Technology is a broad field, and Level 3 is quite a low level.
After all, earning a merit of the eighth degree is quite a feat.
Just look at Mu Zhiyang and Wen Ming to understand.
"You have quite a few original ideas," Jiang Yuan said without having looked at the plan book yet. Ideas naturally formed in his mind, and he quickly wrote them down, saying, "The purpose of surveillance is usually not just one, but several: to reduce labor costs, to assist in physical security, to facilitate work in ordinary situations, and to enhance stealth."
Heng Qiongsi nodded in agreement.
Jiang Yuan continued, "From your observations of Qinghe College, the first point is actually meaningful to them.
Their number of security personnel is so small, and there are no groups like a student council to take on security responsibilities.
For ordinary situations, there's basically nothing."
Heng Qiongsi nodded eagerly.
"The rest is mainly about letting the cameras play a special role, something that is easier for humans to do in surveillance work..." Jiang Yuan briefly wrote down a few points and handed them back to Heng Qiongsi.
While Heng Qiongsi was carefully reading, Jiang Yuan, still with thoughts to spare, took out his notebook and recorded his current train of thought.
Heng Qiongsi subconsciously moved her phone away, allowing her eyes to look up from below the phone and clearly see Jiang Yuan writing something about "key arrangements." Below the text he was writing were a series of numbers forming an account: Expenses: Water purchase 36 yuan.
Meals and groceries, 6228 yuan.
Hotel room, 2088 yuan.
Income: Travel allowance, 180 yuan per day, father's meal subsidy 10,000 yuan.
Little master's red envelope 6666 yuan (hard work in the field, eat less meat).
Eighth little master's red envelope 8888 yuan (take a few days off when tired, give the leaders some nice gifts to speak well).
Aunt Hua 10,000 yuan (take care of yourself when out).
Seventh uncle's red envelope 5000 yuan (reported in the newspaper, really made our Jiang village proud), Eighth uncle 2000 yuan (pride fee), Fourth aunt 2000 yuan (pride fee), Fourth uncle's wife 2000 yuan (pride fee), Seventh aunt 2000 yuan (pride)... Heng Qiongsi decisively closed her eyes!
