Lord of Arcane

Chapter 2135 Backtracking Analysis
It's Talib!

At least on the surface, he is indeed Tarafu's younger brother!

As the slender figure continued to retreat in perception, more and more information was consciously received by Xia Duo into consciousness, including various characteristics of Talib itself, and related parameters in the environment that were affected by it.

At the same time, the intellectual brain connected to his essence also began to exert the power of the intelligent cluster, and countless information was classified and analyzed, and the key points were extracted one by one.

Then, under the command of Xia Duo, the focus of the scouting spell moved from the stagnant field in the center of the square to Talib's "backward" direction, and moved to the edge of the square, and even Talib's private house outside the square.

However, Talib’s “retrogression” in perception is still continuing, from various tracks in the private house, to Maired Pasha’s palace outside, and then to the private house again, during which there was a vague figure of Talaf.

However, Xia Duo focused on Talib, while Talaf was ignored by him for the time being. If necessary, it can be traced back in the future.

In addition, in terms of protection against scouting spells, Taraf is also more stringent than Talib. Xia Duo speculates that he can only trace Taraf twice at the current level at most, and it will be difficult to trace back after that. .

But Talib can go back at least four more times before the detection results are too vague to be of practical analysis value due to the interference of various factors.

This situation is a bit similar to the "uncertainty" on the earth, except that the measurement of the quantum on the earth may cause its state to change once, but here, there will be a gradual process according to the observation intensity of the detection spell .

In the same way, if there is no corresponding protection, interested people can erase some past information in advance through self-retrospection. In fact, this is also a very effective way to avoid detection.

……

In this way, Xia Duo went back to the scene when Talib and Talaf brothers had dinner three days before the assassination. At this time point, Talib’s figure was already very blurred, and Talaf was even more There is only a blank.

Even if we trace Tarafu specifically, it is difficult to find useful information at that time.

So Xia Duo naturally stopped the spell, "Master Esther, it's ok, let's go here this time!"

"Did Lord Xiaduo find anything?" Esther asked quickly.

"Yes, I have found some clues and am analyzing them. If there is no accident, it should be able to prove that the assassin is not Talib himself."

"what?!"

Esther suddenly turned pale with shock, "Lord Xiaduo, what have you found?"

"I'll talk about this later, I need a quiet environment for analysis."

Xia Duo rubbed the center of his brows, found a chair from the portable space, placed it next to the stagnant field, and sat on it directly. Seeing this, Savile immediately took charge of vigilance.

Talaf was also very excited when he heard the news, but he couldn't show it yet, he just kept sending messages to remind Jibril to send the news back as soon as possible.

Only Esther seemed to be pacing back and forth quite agitatedly, but after seeing that Xia Duo was unmoved, she gradually calmed down, waiting patiently for the final result.

……

At this moment, in Xia Duo's consciousness, ignoring the information is entangled together, and it seems that he is about to draw a certain conclusion, but he just can't come out.

Scouting spells do not provide analysis capabilities in essence, but only collect information. However, in this ancient era, seeing the scene often equals to restoring the truth.

Therefore, when facing events that only involve ordinary people, spells are often beneficial, but when facing spell casters, especially spell casters who are very familiar with the detection field, they are often powerless.

So there is a continuous evolution of scrying and avoiding scrying.

If he really fell into this kind of competition of pure technology, Xia Duo actually had no good solution, but he came from the earth, and he had more advanced analytical thinking, which was enough for him to see the truth through the fog.

Just like when the technology on the earth was not yet developed, to determine the identity of the murderer, to a large extent, it could only rely on very indirect evidence, such as witnesses, certificates, bills and so on.

But with the advent of DNA technology, a drop of blood is enough to lock the real body of the murderer.

Those criminals who left evidence of blood stains before the emergence of DNA may not have thought that there will be such a thing as DNA testing in the future. In the era of DNA testing, one by one can be easily detected.

As long as there is a general DNA database, arresting people is a matter of manual work. Even if there is no one, it is possible to analyze the gene generation to determine a general direction. This was already a very mature technology when Xia Duo traveled.

Of course, he is not going to test the blood before and after Talib. This is actually mentioned in the investigation report by Calinshan. The blood left by the assassin after committing suicide does belong to Talib, or to Mindray German family blood.

In the field of blood testing, Xia Duo thought he was not as professional as Calinshan's, and since the elves did not raise any objections, he was more inclined to agree with this judgment.

But the blood does not always mean that the assassin is Talib, or that the assassination is Talib's subjective will.

In Xia Duo’s hometown, there is a legend that “killing someone with a mental illness is not against the law”, which may seem absurd, but it actually says that the perpetrator can only bear responsibility for the behavior under the control of his free will.

In the magical world, although Xia Duo has never seen a mental patient, he has seen a lot of spiritual magic. What a person does may not be what he wants to do, or it may be directly manipulated by other people.

In this case, of course, it cannot be considered that the person being manipulated is the actual perpetrator.

In fact, in Talib's assassination of the Prince of Sith, Xia Duo discovered that it was far from simple mind spell control.

Through the analysis of Talib's behavior during the period from the time of the incident to three days before, Xia Duo found that almost one day before the assassination, Talib's behavior pattern took place on the way back to his private residence from Maired Pasha's palace. Variety.

To see whether a person has changed before and after, in addition to the characteristics of the body itself, there are also some more abstract characteristics, such as expressions, movements, and postures.

Of course, Xia Duo doesn't know much about professional micro-expression analysis or gait analysis, but as long as some parameters that can be described and measured in detail are written down in the form of data, the problem will return to his old business before time travel .

Xia Duo is not very proficient in data analysis, but this is not an extremely complicated problem, and it is just a data dimensionality reduction problem of less than 500 dimensions when abstracted.

If you use purely mathematical methods, it is far less difficult than reducing the dimensionality of the 1200-dimensional data of the feedback signal of the plane detection array during plane exploration.

It's just that Xia Duo has some understanding of plane exploration, and can perform some dimensionality reduction methods based on feature selection, which greatly reduces the workload.

However, he can only half-guess about micro-expression analysis, body movement analysis, and gait analysis. He mainly relies on empirical intuition and pure mathematics to reduce the dimensionality of data, so as to extract the expression, body, and gait characteristics reflected by the data. .

This is quite a mind-consuming job.

Fortunately, there is brain assistance!
