The USB drive had been encrypted, and cracking it took some time. I waited until late at night when the technical department finally called.
When my mentor and I arrived at the technical department, we noticed that the expressions of two colleagues were somewhat unusual. As we examined the contents of the USB drive, we were all shocked.
The files were densely packed with records of cheating transactions involving Wang Ruiming and Zhao Zhe! They were not merely in a transactional relationship for money; rather, they were partners in crime.
Moreover, from the scope of their operations, it was clear that this cheating scheme was not limited to Port City High School No. 1 but extended to all key high schools in Port City. My mentor and I took the materials back to the criminal police team and gathered the special investigation team members for a thorough investigation. As we opened each document, a larger secret began to surface!
It became evident from these materials that Wang Ruiming and Zhao Zhe were not acting alone; they belonged to a secret society known as the Xueba Alliance. This organization had a sophisticated structure that integrated top students from various prestigious high schools. They set clear prices based on the difficulty and importance of exams and arranged for top students to take on assignments, providing organized cheating services for hefty fees.
Even more shocking was that the USB drive contained a list of the society's management members. It turned out that the masterminds behind this secret organization were actually high-ranking officials from various prestigious high schools! The principal of Port City High School No. 1, Zheng Botao, was also a member of the Xueba Alliance's management.
It seemed that the Xueba Alliance's goal was not only to exploit top students for profit but also to enhance admission rates, thereby providing long-term benefits to these high-ranking officials.
From Wang Ruiming and Zhao Zhe's chat records, it was clear that they had been part of the Xueba Alliance for nearly a year and had been actively taking on assignments. Dissatisfied with the profit-sharing ratio offered by the society, they secretly discussed extorting wealthy students for more money.
Could this be the reason for their murders?
"This case is not that simple," my mentor Zhou Weiguo said solemnly. "The management behind this Xueba Alliance consists of powerful individuals. To avoid alerting them, all investigations regarding this society must be conducted discreetly! Even other colleagues in our department must be kept in the dark for now. Mu Yang, go inform those two colleagues in the technical department to ensure they maintain confidentiality."
In the following days, the special investigation team immersed themselves in a covert investigation. As we verified each related individual, the outline of the Xueba Alliance case gradually became clearer. However, none of those involved in this secret society had either the time or means to have killed Wang Ruiming and Zhao Zhe.
What could have led to their deaths?
Late at night at the criminal police team office, the coffee machine worked tirelessly, filling the air with a rich aroma. After several days of effort, we finally managed to piece together this massive Cross-School Cheating ring operating within Port City's prestigious high schools.
"Damn it!" my senior brother Old Qian slammed his hand on the table, unable to hide his frustration as he muttered curses under his breath. "We've clearly investigated such a large organization, yet we haven't found a single suspect in this double homicide?"
It wasn't just Old Qian who felt disheartened; I was particularly frustrated as well. Over these days, we had searched and interrogated everyone connected to this society; those who needed detention had been detained, yet we hadn't found even one credible murder suspect. Was this case really going to remain unsolved?
A heavy atmosphere hung over the office as everyone sank into their thoughts. Just then, my mentor Zhou Weiguo suddenly slammed his hand on the table, startling us all.
"Don't lose heart! Everyone get your spirits up! Let's go through everything again; there must be something we've overlooked."
Thus, we gathered around the conference table once more and began reviewing every detail of the case again, trying to scrape together any clues that might have been ignored from our memories.
Suddenly, an image long forgotten flashed in my mind.
