The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 99 East Coast Mathematical Circle
Faced with Peggy's funny jokes, Monica didn't find it funny at all.

As Peggy's guardian, she has naturally seen this Professor Harlan Epland, but she never thought that such a friendly fat man would have such a quirk!

Don't like the distance between yourself and numbers, so like to take off your clothes to solve problems...Naked Professor?
Thinking about it is too spicy for the eyes!
"Don't get me wrong, that's what happens when I'm just alone."

Professor Harlan Epland was not an idiot, he immediately noticed Monica's expression and quickly explained.

Peggy is his student, and she is still such a young female student. He is not as ignorant of common sense as Sheldon and the others.

In case there is a misunderstanding, this is no joke.

And he really only strips when no one is around, at best shirtless when there are people around.

"Better so."

Monica didn't know what to say.

Although she knew that Peggy meant to scare her, the fact was that the things Peggy used to scare her were all true.

Are all geniuses in this world like this?Isn't there a normal one?
At this time, a balding middle-aged man walked in with a kind smile on his face, and said to everyone with a smile, "Hello, everyone."

"It seems that there are still normal people."

Monica looked at the bald middle-aged man for a while, and was slightly relieved.

At least this one looks normal.

"who are you?"

Professor Harlan Epland looked at him strangely.

As No.1 in the Applied Mathematics Department of Columbia University, he also likes this kind of mathematical treasure hunt very much. He knows or understands people in the mathematics circle, at least those in the east coast mathematics circle.

But the one in front of him didn't match any of the ones he remembered.

"Oh, don't worry about me, I'm just a tool man."

The bald man smiled and said, "I'm here on behalf of someone else, look!"

Having said that, under the gaze of everyone, he took out a photo from his pocket, unfolded it, and put it in front of his face, blocking his face.

"Interesting form."

Little Sheldon's eyes lit up and he praised.

"Oliver McDenny!"

Professor Harlan Epland looked at the large photo that replaced the bald man's face in front of the bald man, and immediately said it in relief.

"Who is Oliver McDenny?"

Monica looked down at Peggy.

"You'd better ask Professor Epland."

Peggy smiled strangely: "Otherwise, if you say it out of my mouth, you may suspect that I'm scaring you again."

"..."

The corner of Monica's mouth twitched. Needless to say, she already had an ominous premonition.

Professor Harlan Epland also heard this, and immediately smiled to Monica Cope: "Oliver McDenny graduated from Harvard University at the age of 16 and graduated from graduate school at the age of 19. He is a mathematical genius."

"It's not a doctor?"

Monica was a little strange: "Why didn't he come by himself? Instead, he used this weird way?"

"He can't come."

Professor Harlan Epland smiled awkwardly: "He had some mental problems and was imprisoned in a mental hospital, so he didn't continue his PhD."

"..."

Monica is numb.

Peggy is right. If Peggy said this to her, she would probably not believe and doubt it. It can’t be that the geniuses in their country are all mentally ill, right?
But now this statement was said by the naked professor who seemed to be quite normal, and there was no communication beforehand, so she had to believe it.

Although numb, she still couldn't help asking: "Why?"

"He has a mental problem..."

The naked professor Harlan explained a sentence, caught everyone's eyes, and immediately knew that he had said a nonsense, so he continued to explain: "He almost strangled his father."

Monica couldn't help touching her neck and glanced at Chuck, she understood the suffocating trembling.

"why?"

Hearing this, Little Sheldon frowned: "I understand the complex feelings of a genius boy towards his stupid father, but it's a bit too intense to do it directly?"

"He said it wasn't his father."

The naked professor Harlan showed a helpless smile: "The other party is a computer clone sent by the Quantum King of the Milky Way. He said they wanted to drive him crazy, but they would not succeed."

"It's strange."

Little Sheldon was amazed.

"right!"

Seeing that finally someone felt the same way as herself, Monica looked at Little Sheldon happily.

"Ah."

Little Sheldon nodded: "In Asimov's novels, there are three laws of robotics. The first law is that a robot must not harm an individual human being, or stand idly by when an individual human being is in danger.

When I used to dream, I also dreamed of the world of the Galactic Empire, and there were robots like computer clones, but there, they all came to invite me, the smartest person in the world, to save their world, and there was no harm at all. Or insane situations. "

"..."

Monica was numb again and again.

She is no longer sure whether there is something wrong with the geniuses of this world, or something wrong with her.

"You can do whatever you want, I will write down the title of the fifth level and pass it to Oliver."

The bald man put away his photo face and walked towards the clue wall.

"Mona, isn't our world interesting?"

Peggy joked to the numb Monica.

Monica was dumbfounded.

"That's the expression."

Seeing Monica ignoring her, Peggy rolled her eyes and said with a playful smile, "Look, what a match for Chuck."

"..."

Monica glanced at Chuck who had been calm (paralyzed) from beginning to end, and didn't know what expression to make.

Everyone started to read the questions, and the scene fell silent for a while, then Monica heard footsteps coming from outside the door again, and when she looked back, she saw a young couple walking in.

The blonde girlfriend has an average appearance, and the young man is shy and timid, not daring to meet the eyes of everyone.

"Noah, you can."

The blond girlfriend met everyone's gaze, smiled awkwardly, then turned to look at her boyfriend and continued to encourage him.

"Noah!"

Harlan, the naked professor, said hello.

"Professor Epland."

The young Noah glanced at the naked professor, responded, and immediately looked away.

"Is this your girlfriend?"

The naked professor Harlan looked at Noah's girlfriend with surprise and envy in his eyes.

"Daphne."

The blonde girl introduced herself with a smile: "I am Noah's fiancee."

"Noah is a lucky man."

The naked professor Harlan sighed.

Monica looked at Daphne with surprise and scrutiny.

Noah looked like a genius with problems at first glance, she no longer felt much about it, and now the only thing she was curious about was what was wrong with Daphne, a normal-looking woman.

Ok.

She was basically sure that there was something wrong with Daphne, otherwise a normal woman would not be the fiancée of a genius with problems like Noah.

She no longer believes that there are any normal human beings among the people so close to this group of geniuses, because she feels that she is going crazy in just a few months.
