The subject of physical evidence analysis has been rarely mentioned in major film and television works.

Even if it is mentioned, it is difficult to explain in one go how much knowledge this department needs in order to deal with more and more complex crimes in this era.

Although the tasks undertaken by this department are heavy and require a lot of knowledge, modern crime solving relies on them as the backbone.But after all, it's not on the front line——

It will subconsciously make people feel less exciting.

But there is no so-called stimulating and pleasant pursuit in solving a case, and there is no so-called destiny and doom. Only by comparing the evidence bit by bit can the truth be found.

·

Lin Xichen rushed to the navigation AI of the evidence department.

"I need, the last time we sent the picture for analysis, I need to know whether the species of that bee is the European black bee."

Hu Rui and the others have already followed.

The AI ​​prompt sounded, [The Evidence Section responsible for following up this case is Mr. Matsushita, please wait a moment. 】

Five minutes later, the person in charge of the evidence department came.

Matsushita hurried over, and the other party nodded to Lin Xichen and the others to wait for a while, and then invited them into the room. This person put a series of pictures that had been magnified countless times and re-confirmed the pixels on the table.

Mr. Matsushita pointed, "After our confirmation, this is indeed a group of European black bees. Judging from the things they carry, this group of bees was even in the honey-gathering period when they appeared."

The other four people present couldn't help but frowned.

Snake frowned, "What? From Europe? The crime was committed in Europe?"

Mudley seems to have taken a good course in nature, she sighed, "It's a subspecies of bees, there are many kinds of bees..."

Lin Xichen interrupted directly, "A swarm of bees? Can you be [-]% sure it's a swarm?"

Standing aside, Hu Rui raised his neck and asked, "What exactly is the European black bee? How is it different from ordinary bees?"

"..."

Mr. Matsushita opened his mouth wide and didn't know which one to answer for a while.

·

Seeing this kind of scene, the few people who had just opened their mouths shut up one after another, and everyone looked at Hu Rui, because this one is the boss.

And Hu Rui looked at Lin Xichen, because it was the one next to him who proposed the concept of the European black bee.

Hu Rui then beckoned to Matsushita, "How about this, take your time one by one, and you talk about Lin Xichen first. How many bees are there?"

"A lot of them."

Everyone frowned.

"That's right, colleagues in the serious crime team."

The desktop under Panasonic is a huge display.The man tapped the desktop, and the screen flickered twice, and then the person in charge of the evidence department brought up the screen of the case.

"You are professional in investigating cases, and we are also professional in finding details."

The man magnified some small black dots in the distance of Victim No. [-], and magnified them again.

Matsushita pointed to the screen and said, "These are too."

·

Mudley whispered, "I thought those were flies..."

"No, no, little girl, it is skillful to judge whether a person's environment is winter or summer, whether the temperature is high or low. The main thing is to observe the person's hair and metabolism, but this is not the case. key point……"

Everyone listen carefully.

"You didn't notice a little bit, but we noticed it."

Matsushita adjusted his glasses, showing off a bit.

"Look, the video of this case was processed frame by frame by the criminal suspect, right? This person messed up the order of the victims and spliced ​​the video together, trying to express something..."

Hu Rui snorted, "Get to the point!"

Mr. Matsushita raised his eyebrows, apparently not expecting Hu Rui to be so direct.

"What I mean is, this person has carefully selected what is on the screen and what he wants to show. He tried to make the whole picture smooth but still feel similar to the plot of the movie. Do you think this matter Is it easy to do?"

·

Anyone who has tried to remake a video knows that it must be extremely difficult to be [-]% similar.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Matsushita tried to persuade, "So what do you think is the most worthwhile scene in a horror movie for everyone to watch?"

Everyone fell into silence. Sometimes speaking too euphemistically is really not a good thing.

Matsushita's persuasive teaching didn't work, but Snake realized something.

"If it were me, it would definitely be the first wonderful picture."

"That's what I want to say. You arranged the victims in the order in which they appeared on the screen, right? Because M told you who were there, the first victim was No. [-], and so on No. [-]." Go down, but!"

Mr. Matsushita pointed to the picture of the face of victim No. [-] being cut with excitement on his face.

"The point is, even though you arranged the videos in the order they appeared in the video, it doesn't mean that they were murdered at this time! Otherwise, in the first scene, they wouldn't be so proficient even if they sliced ​​open the flesh with a knife!"

·

Hu Rui knew what this man wanted to say.

"I see, Panasonic, what you mean is that there is a mistake in the order in which the victims appeared on the video and the actual time of death."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes," Matsushita said happily.

Snake couldn't help complaining, "Actually, you don't need to waste these 5 minutes and tell us directly, the serious crime team can accept it."

Hearing this, Matsushita couldn't accept it. He stretched out a finger and shook it, but Shi Yi and his group still didn't understand what he meant.

"This suspect is trying to control everything, and trying to overlap all the images and details with the film content, which requires a lot of practice and prior rehearsal. And I confirmed through these cutting methods, what you call 'number one' ’, should actually be the last victim.”

Panasonic pointed at several screens.

"Why does the video need to be spliced? Because he is constantly growing, and his technique has changed from unfamiliar at the beginning to gradually proficient. People who have watched every frame and every second of this kind of video will definitely notice that the bee is still there." There are those insects."

Mudley understood, "But he doesn't care."

"It may be that it doesn't matter, or it may be that he knows that bugs can't decide anything, or it may be that he knows that he is growing up and will soon abandon this video and have his own creation. It doesn't matter if it's a bug or not..."

Matsushita gave his inference with a little hesitation and a little shock.

"He's growing like crazy. I think the meaning of this video is that he has abandoned his previous ways. This is a declaration that if we don't solve it now, we won't be able to catch him unless you find him elsewhere. .”

·

The topic gradually drifted away, Lin Xichen stood aside with arms folded and did not speak.

Hu Rui didn't express any thoughts on what Matsushita said. His thinking has not been confused by this guy. This Beta still remembers the key points.

"That is to say, victim No. [-] was the last victim at the time point. When he died, there was still a bee in the video."

Matsushita added, "It's a few bees, there must be a colony there."

Hu Rui looked at Lin Xichen, "Then what does this have to do with your European bees?"

Lin Xichen looked over, and what Matsushita said just now verified his conjecture.

"Currently, the main bee species in the world are divided into four categories, namely the Chinese bee, the Italian bee, and the Carniola bee. The rest is it..."

Everyone looked at the picture, Lin Xichen explained softly, "European black bee."

·

"So? Don't tell me this bee glows at night."

Hu Rui really wants to tell Lin Xichen that Matrix can do everything, but it can't track a bee.

Lin Xichen clicked on this picture, "We confirmed that the third prisoner was killed at the end of the second summer when the video came out, and then this bee appeared in the video of victim No. [-]."

Snake became interested, "The first victim was actually the last one. If I remember correctly, the third victim, what-san, died almost at the end of summer, right?"

"An from the information department found the video in December last year."

Mudley pinched her fingers and calculated, "Then the time left for the suspect is only three short months. But it happens to be autumn when the temperature turns cold."

Lin Xichen raised his head, and he made eye contact with Mr. Matsushita from the Physical Evidence Department, "Is there a lot of European black bees in our country?"

Mr. Matsushita stared at Lin Xichen, suddenly realized.

"I understand!"

·

The other three were at a loss, especially Snake, who didn't understand insects, let alone any subject.

Team leader Hu Rui narrowed his eyes and asked Panasonic.

"What's the secret of bees?"

"Because there is no European black bee in our country! European black bee is an alien species! It is mainly distributed in the northwest of the Apennine Peninsula in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea!"

Mr. Matsushita was very excited. He picked up the picture and muttered to himself, "I have to consult an expert, wait for me for 10 minutes!"

"However, bees are a common bee species," Mudley frowned, "It may also be a species invasion, or it may be..."

"European black bees are not." Lin Xichen asked, "Do you know what is the biggest crisis of modern mechanized agriculture? Do you know what is the most important job of bees?"

The three city people present shook their heads in unison.

Hu Rui, who likes sweets, hesitantly raised his point, "Picking honey? Making honey?"

·

"It is the lack of pollination caused by the death of bees in large numbers. Pesticides and agriculture have caused great damage to bees. Now there are very few wild bee colonies in China that can provide natural pollination services in groups..."

It was only when Lin Xichen said this that he realized that what he said was too professional. One of his parents was a geologist and the other a botanist. Lin Xichen must have been more aware of this aspect than they were.

So he explained carefully.

"That's what the bumblebee book in Snake's hand meant. Bees not only undertake the work of making honey, but also pollination. Modern large-scale agricultural crops cannot provide pollination business only by manual work. , must rely on renting out bees.”

"Wait," Hu Rui pointed out, "Your point of view is too far-fetched. What if this bee is not a European black bee? What if..."

"Because it is a European black bee, this bee is the decisive existence. Because European black bees are prone to diseases and are aggressive, there are almost no pure breeds under modern farming and natural conditions. Yes, it is just some The beekeepers kept some samples."

"..."

Everyone present looked at Lin Xichen, and felt as if they had taken a biology class again.

Lin Xichen leaned on the table and explained to Hu Rui in a low voice.

"If there is only one, my point of view is a bit weak, but the Evidence Department has confirmed that there are several species of a population. A few months ago, it was the freezing autumn and winter season, so there are no bees. Except... "

Hu Rui remembered the dessert he had just eaten.

"The beekeepers just happen to be released in the fall to gather honeydew."

·

Snake narrowed his eyes, "Don't other bees harvest honey in winter? Then how do they live?"

Mudley complained, "You are a bee species that was born to collect honey for you?"

Mr. Matsushita is back.

"Listen to me, the European black bee is indeed a bee species that can still obtain honey in the cold."

The man looked excited, it seemed that he had received a first-line news, and Panasonic put the communicator on the table.

"And I just got in touch with the most authoritative bee scientist in China, this police detective, Mr. Lin." Panasonic confirmed Lin Xichen's nameplate, and he was very excited.

"Mr. Lin Xichen is right. Experts have also confirmed that the European black bee is really a very special bee species."

The person clicked on the holographic map, and the regional maps of all parts of the country were displayed.

"This kind of bee is not very capable of breeding insects. Is there any competition in spring? They rarely come out of the nest. They are aggressive and the whole population is prone to illness and death. So they have not been favored by beekeepers, except for one thing..."

Hu Rui recalled what Elvis said when he persuaded himself to eat sweets, "Except for nectar?"

"Yes," Mr. Matsushita explained to everyone, "and manna honey does not come from the nectaries or extrafloral nectaries of plant flowers. It is the secretions collected by bees from the stems and leaves of plants or the insect dew produced by insects."

Mudli couldn't help asking, "Then why is there so little nectar?"

"Because one is that ordinary bees are easy to be poisoned when collecting, and the other is that this kind of thing will only appear when the weather is cold and the temperature is low. If you want to collect it, only European black bees that are not easy to be poisoned can do it."

Snake snorted, "That is to say, only this kind of bees will go out to work in the cold, right? It's the same as me."

Mr. Matsushita nodded, "And it saves a lot of hard work and can survive in winter."

·

The person in charge of the Evidence Division straightened up, and everyone stepped forward to take a look.

"After confirmation, there are only three merchants in the country that still sell authentic pure natural manna honey, but only one still uses European black bees to collect it."

Lin Xichen added, "Then there should be a record of this family's venue where the European black bees are released every year."

"That's right, the source of honey must be traceable, because pesticides and other sources of pollution must be ruled out. Food poisoning is a big deal." Mr. Matsushita nodded.

The man clicked on the icon, and a patch of orange spots appeared scattered on the map.

The existence rate of European black bees is extremely low, the number of releases is extremely small, and the distribution area cannot even be described by a piece.

These are a few points for precise positioning.

When the matter came to this point, Lin Xichen stood beside Hu Rui and asked softly with his hands behind his back.

"Then team leader, do you think there is any overlap between the distribution area of ​​these bees and the distribution of the missing Mr. Victor Yang's private residence?"

·

Hu Rui turned to look at Lin Xichen.

The team leader of the serious crime team silently called out all the residences and rental locations owned by Victor.

These points distributed all over the country are gradually superimposed, and then there is a property that surprisingly coincides with a point on the bee distribution map.

Snake laughed, "Fortunately, that bee didn't run away from home."

Mudley said with emotion, "I may have to re-take a high school biology class. Tonight I have to go to an open class to refresh my knowledge."

"How?" Lin Xichen asked Hu Rui, "Can this circumstantial evidence allow you to apply for unlocking the high-level permission of Matrix at a higher level, saying that the criminal accidentally let a bee in and entered the murder scene?"

Snake breathed a sigh of relief, "Remember to make it clear, it's a group."

"Remember that Floater?"

Mudley scratched her head, most of her heart was relieved, "At that time we said that this kind of insect must survive in places with excellent water sources, but the distribution of that thing is too wide across the country, but look at that Victor's near the house..."

The location is remote, the environment is elegant, the river is everywhere, there are many private houses and areas, so there is no use of pesticides and insecticides - it is an excellent place to stock bees and kill people.

Mr. Matsushita glanced at it and then whispered silently, "I think it's okay, anyway, I was persuaded."

Seeing this, Hu Rui couldn't help turning his head and took a deep look at Lin Xichen, with some praise and other things in his eyes.

The group leader nodded.

"Sure, I'll try it."
