You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Lin Chen's thoughts stirred slightly.

The entire model then began to operate at a speed that surpassed quantum computing, frantically filtering and eliminating!

"Did you find out? Who is Chen Man's advisor?"

"She has several advisors! Advisors for her major courses, elective courses, and even her graduation project!"

"What are her social relationships like? Is she particularly close to any teacher, or has she had any conflicts with them?"

"We can't find anything! Her social media accounts were deactivated six months ago, and her emails are all just routine academic exchanges!"

The entire lobby of the Major Crimes Unit had been turned into a pressure cooker.

Everyone was roaring, everyone was running, everyone's eyes were bloodshot, yet they were all like headless flies.

"A hypocritical mentor"...

This area is too large!

Who is hypocritical?

How do we define hypocrisy?

The clues left by the killer were more like a vicious mockery, plunging everyone into a quagmire of impotent rage.

Li Mingyu was also shouting in the crowd, pretending to direct several interns.

"Quick! Check Professor Wang's schedule! Then check Professor Li's paper! Hurry!"

He tried to use this method to cover up the panic and jealousy in his heart that he had nowhere to put after being crushed by Lin Chen.

And this moment.

At the eye of the storm, however, lay utter silence.

Lin Chen didn't even look at the information board that was filled with everyone's hard work but was completely useless.

His fingertips blurred across the keyboard, producing not a chaotic clatter, but a steady, almost frighteningly rapid rhythm with a metallic quality.

Amidst the clamor, a secluded and absolute tranquility existed just three feet around him.

Nobody cared what he was doing.

Everyone assumed that he was simply searching for publicly available information in vain.

Only Jiang Tingxue, sitting diagonally behind him, stared intently at Lin Chen's profile and the ordinary computer screen with her cold eyes.

She couldn't understand the fleeting data streams on the screen.

But she could sense it.

An invisible aura was emanating from Lin Chen.

That is absolute control.

A kind of indifference that treats all network barriers as nothing.

suddenly!

Lin Chen's fingers, which were typing on the keyboard, stopped.

The noise in the entire hall seemed to be silenced at that moment.

Lin Chen's gaze pierced through the complex model composed of countless data points, accurately locking onto several nodes that were flashing with unusual light.

Zhao Bowen, Head of the Vocal Performance Department.

Liu Zhen, Chief Professor of the Piano Department.

as well as……

Professor Wang Dehai, a leading figure in the music department.

All three individuals had engaged in extensive academic exchanges with the deceased, Chen Man, over the past year.

A cold smile curled at the corners of Lin Chen's lips.

His finger lightly tapped the mouse.

[Divine Insight] Pierces through the screen, descending across endless network cables!

Om-!

The first profile picture is of Zhao Bowen, with a sin value of 35. The annotation states that he has repeatedly accepted bribes from students' parents.

exclude.

The second profile picture is of Liu Zhen, with a sin value of 52. It is marked as: marital infidelity and having improper relationships with multiple female students.

exclude.

Lin Chen's gaze fell on the third profile picture.

Wang Dehai.

In that photo, he had gray hair, a kind face, and wore gold-rimmed glasses, exuding the refined air of a scholar and artist.

He is the living symbol of Jiangcheng Conservatory of Music and a revered master among countless students.

however!

The moment Lin Chen's gaze locked onto it!

Above Wang Dehai's portrait, a thick, blood-red light suddenly exploded!

The number of sins jumped wildly like boiling magma, finally settling on a shocking number!

[Sin Value: 488!]

[Details of Crimes: Abusing his position for a long period, he plagiarized and appropriated the original works of at least seven gifted students, then published and distributed them under his own name, reaping huge profits and fame… This includes the unpublished posthumous work of the deceased Chen Man—the violin concerto "Deep Sea"!]

found it!

it's him!

"A hypocritical mentor!"

Lin Chen's eyes turned as cold as ice for a moment.

Without pausing for a moment, he immediately typed another command in the background command line.

The instruction was so simple it consisted of only one word.

"Open".

next second.

Wang Dehai's private cloud, stored on a Swiss bank's highest-level encrypted server, was instantly torn apart by a firewall built by a world-class hacker team that was supposedly absolutely unbreakable!

A hidden folder named "My Treasure" was forcibly opened by a tyrannical force.

There was no gold or silver jewelry inside, nor any bank deposits.

Only original drafts of musical scores, radiating genius yet stained with filth and blood!

At the end of each manuscript, there is a different student's childish signature.

These works are now prominently displayed in Wang Dehai's personal collection of works, bringing him endless glory and wealth.

The truth is shocking!

Lin Chen slowly leaned back in his chair.

He raised his head and glanced at his colleagues who were still running around like headless flies.

Then, he spoke in a calm voice devoid of any emotion.

"No need to check anymore."

"The killer's next target is a leading figure in the music department."

"Wang Dehai, Professor Wang."

Dead silence.

The entire Major Crimes Unit lobby fell into utter silence in an instant.

Everyone froze in place.

They turned around abruptly, staring intently at Lin Chen with eyes that looked at him as if he were a madman.

Li Mingyu was the first to jump up, as if he had grasped a lifeline, and screamed.

"Lin Chen! What nonsense are you spouting! Do you even know who Professor Wang is? He's a cultural icon of Jiangcheng! What gives you the right to slander him without any evidence? And say he's the next target? What proof do you have?!"

"evidence?"

Lin Chen didn't even bother to look at him, and simply tapped his computer screen lightly with his finger.

"The evidence is here."

Su Qingge was the first to rush over.

Jiang Tingxue followed closely behind.

When they saw the original manuscripts on the screen and compared them with the collection of Wang Dehai's publicly published works in the window next to them, the two women's faces turned deathly pale!

Plagiarism!

Blatant plagiarism!

Especially when they saw Chen Man's manuscript titled "Deep Sea", Su Qingge's body trembled slightly with anger!

"Damn it! That old bastard!"

Other officers also gathered around, and when they saw the irrefutable evidence on the screen, a collective gasp filled the hall!

Everyone felt that their worldview had been severely shaken.

That highly respected art master was, in secret, such a despicable and shameless thief!

And Lin Chen...

How on earth did he manage to dig out these core secrets, enough to nail Wang Dehai to the pillar of shame, from the vast sea of ​​online information in such a short time?!

The way all the police officers looked at Lin Chen completely changed.

It was a mixture of awe, worship, and a hint of fear from the depths of the soul!

Li Mingyu stood there blankly, staring at the evidence on the big screen that he couldn't even understand, yet he could feel its weight. He felt a burning pain in his cheeks.

It felt like being slapped hundreds of times, countless times.

He wanted to refute, to question, but found that his throat was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and he couldn't utter a single word.

His pitiful criminal investigation experience was as insignificant as a speck of dust in the face of Lin Chen's methods.

"Let's go immediately!"

Su Qingge snapped back to her senses, her queenly aura fully unleashed, her voice decisive and sharp!

"Wang Dehai is now the killer's next open target; we must get there first!"

"Team One, come with me to Wang Dehai's villa! He's in grave danger!"

"Team Two, immediately begin 24-hour surveillance of Wang Dehai and investigate all suspicious individuals around him!"

"Notify the SWAT team! Set up a triple cordon around the villa! Not even a fly is allowed to get in!"

"yes!"

After a brief period of stagnation, the entire Major Crimes Unit sprang into action with unprecedented efficiency!
