A student's detective skills cause a stir in China! In a surprising turn of events, a young learner unlocked a school safe with an unconventional method. But here's where it gets intriguing: using only chalk dust, they traced fingerprints on the number pad, revealing the secret combination.
The incident, as reported by Sin Chew Daily, occurred on November 14 at a high school in Shenzhen. Inspired by a detective novel, this student detective applied chalk dust to the number pad, identifying the pressed numbers. With the help of two classmates, they cracked the password, and the combination was soon shared among others.
And this is the part most people miss—the consequences. Five days later, another student used the code to open the safe and steal phones. The school staff, upon discovering the theft, punished all four involved students.
The school, being a boarding institution, has a strict no-phone policy during the week. After the incident, the safe's password was changed, and it was relocated to the teachers' office.
