Short Crime Stories.

In a university.

Anastazia was a hardworking student with a passion for science. She had always been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe and she had chosen to study physics at a prestigious university.

One day, Anastazia was studying late in the library when she overheard a group of students talking about a cheating scandal that was rumored to be happening in her physics class.

At first, Anastazia didn't believe it. She knew that cheating was against the university's strict code of ethics and she trusted her classmates to uphold those standards.

But as the weeks went on, Anastazia began to notice a very strange behavior from a few of her classmates. They would often gather together during exams, whispering and passing notes.

Anastazia decided to do some investigating of her own. She asked around and discovered that some students had been paying a group of hackers to break into the university's computer system and steal exam answers.

Anastazia was shocked. She knew that cheating was wrong, but she also knew that exposing the cheating scandal could ruin the lives and the careers of her classmates.

She thought a lot of what she should do. On one hand, she wanted to uphold the integrity of the university and the field of science. But on the other hand, she didn't want to betray her friends and classmates.

In the end, Anastazia decided to do what was right. She went to the professor in charge of her class and told him what she had discovered. The news scared the professor and saddened him, but he thanked Anastazia for her honesty and promised to investigate the matter.

The investigation was long and difficult, but in the end, the culprits were caught and punished. The students who had cheated were expelled from the university and the hackers were arrested and charged with computer fraud.

Anastazia was applauded as a hero for her bravery and her dedication to the principles of science and honesty. She had learned that doing the right thing was not always easy, but it was always worth it.

As she graduated from the university with her degree in physics, Anastazia felt proud of herself for upholding the values that had brought her to the university in the first place. She knew that the lessons she had learned about honesty and integrity would serve her well in whatever path she chose to take in life.
