Rain poured relentlessly over the city, washing blood across the pavement but never washing away the truth.
Another murder Another mystery. Tonight, everything was about to change.
Mia Brook
What have we got?
Officer
Mid-fifties. Richard Collins, CEO of Collins Tech.
Officer
Less than an hour ago.
Mia Brook
Anyone see the shooter?
Mia adjusted her gloves before stepping into the silent penthouse.
The expensive furniture, shattered glass, and crimson stains painted a horrifying picture.
Sophia Hayes
Detective... you should see this.
Sophia Hayes
This flash drive was clutched in his hand.
Mia Brook
Bag it. Carefully.
Sophia Hayes
Already on it.
The tiny flash drive looked ordinary, yet Mia couldn't shake the feeling that it was worth more than millions. People didn't kill for nothing.
Unknown Number
*New Message*
Unknown Number
"Leave the flash drive alone... or you're next."
Mia Brook
Trace this number.
Officer
Like it never existed.
Across the street, a silent observer watched every move. Ethan Carter wasn't there by accident.
He recognised the victim's name... and he knew the bloodstained flash drive was only the beginning.
Ethan carter
Looks like the hunt has finally begun.
Episode 2:
<The Bloodstained Flash Drive>
The city had welcomed a new day, but the murder from the previous night continued to cast a dark shadow.
One small flash drive had become the centre of a dangerous mystery.
Sophia Hayes
The blood belongs to the victim.
Mia Brook
Any fingerprints?
Mia Brook
Whoever did this knew exactly what they were doing.
Sophia Hayes
Should I open it?
Sophia carefully connected the flash drive to the forensic computer.
A loading screen appeared.
Sophia Hayes
It's encrypted.
Mia Brook
Can you break it?
Sophia Hayes
Not with our system.
Cut to another location...
Miles away, Ethan Carter had already heard about the murder.
He recognised the victim immediately.
Richard Collins wasn't just another billionaire.
He was investigating Victor Kane.
Noah Reed
"You saw the news?"
Noah Reed
"Collins is dead."
He recognised the victim's name... and he knew the bloodstained flash drive was only the beginning.
Back at the police station...
Officer
Someone hacked into the evidence server.
Officer
They were trying to steal the flash drive's data.
Sophia Hayes
But nobody has opened it yet...
Officer
That's the strange part.
Officer
Whoever hacked us already knows what's inside.
Mia slowly looked at the sealed evidence bag.
If criminals were willing to kill for a flash drive...
hen he'll regret it.
Then whatever it contained could destroy someone powerful.
Episode 3
The encrypted flash drive had become the target of everyone who knew its value. Some wanted to protect it. Others would kill to possess it.
Mia Brook
Sophia, keep analysing the drive.
Sophia Hayes
I'll let you know the moment I find something.
As Mia stepped onto the pavement, she felt someone's eyes on her.
A man dressed in black never looked away.
Mia walked towards Ethan.
Mia Brook
You've been watching this station since yesterday.
Ethan carter
Good observation.
Ethan carter
Someone trying to stop more people from dying.
Mia Brook
That's not an answer.
Ethan carter
It's the only one you're getting.
Mia Brook
How do you know about the murder?
Ethan carter
Because Richard Collins contacted me three days ago.
Mia Brook
He contacted you?
Ethan carter
Before he died.
Mia Brook
Why didn't you tell the police?
Ethan carter
Because someone inside the police is leaking information.
Mia Brook
That's a serious accusation.
Ethan carter
And it's true.
Before Mia could question him further...
A black SUV sped towards them.
Gunman
Don't let them escape!
Mia Brook
They're shooting at us!
Ethan carter
Stay behind me!
*Gunshots: Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Ethan carter
The people looking for the flash drive.
Mia Brook
They know about me?
Ethan carter
They know about everyone.
As the SUV disappeared into the traffic, Ethan stared at its number plate.
A small silver emblem was painted on the rear window.
He recognised it instantly.
Ethan carter
Victor Kane...
Ethan carter
You're moving faster than I expected.
