048 Subtle differences

In today's Iwabuchi, camera technology has been born, but it is still relatively cumbersome and simple:

The camera consists of two wooden boxes, one of which is inserted into the other box for focusing, and the lens cover is used as a shutter to control the exposure time of up to 30 minutes, and finally to capture clear images.

Because the exposure time is as long as 30 minutes, and the average person has no way to stay still for 30 minutes, this also means that the camera can only be used to shoot or record the scene for the time being.

Rumor has it that Oro has invented the latest version of the camera, and although the exposure time is still not solved, the camera is equipped with the first mathematically calculated photographic lens on the entire continent with a maximum phase aperture of "1:3.4", which is also hailed as a major technological breakthrough.

The mere use of instruments to take photographs also allows every Enlightened Person to record the moment of an image, and these technologies have enabled psykers to complete the update, allowing them to focus and expose images in just three seconds through their flexible use of elements.

St. Crobert's College has produced a number of cameras that only psionics can use, and only need to inject light elements to complete the photograph.

Although Issa didn't understand why Hodden needed to take a picture of a blank carpet, the principle was not complicated, and after answering in the affirmative, she continued, "You mean, we use photos to document the murder scene?"

Up to now, psionic cameras are still a luxury - after all, professional photographers have not yet risen, and professional painters are still the mainstream of society, which also means that very few psionic people are willing to fiddle with cameras, and psionic cameras have not been popularized and used more in high society.

Now Hoden has come up with a new idea: to use a psionic camera to record the murder scene.

Isa was able to see the prospect of development, as most of the vigilantes were psykers, and it seemed feasible to set up a department to collect evidence.

Issa couldn't help but get excited.

Horden nodded in affirmation, and said casually, "In fact, the security team can set up a department to collect evidence, which can be called the 'crime scene investigation team', they specially come to protect the crime scene, complete the work of taking photos and records, evidence collection, etc., only after they have collected all the evidence, the investigation team can walk in, so as to avoid the possibility of destroying the scene." ”

Hoden's words were lighthearted, but they caused a big explosion in Isa's mind.

"Wait, wait, Holden! What did you just say? Slow down, say it again?" Issa tried to stop Howlen, and his whole brain went up by storm.

However, Holden had already bypassed Isa's position and walked up to the second floor.

Issa hurriedly chased after him, "Holden! Wait! At least, you can tell me what's wrong with that carpet? I didn't find anything. ”

"I can't be sure, it's just a gut feeling that there's something there. Hoden irresponsibly threw a sentence over.

Issa's head was full of black lines, "Intuition? Are you serious? So the next step, should we ask for tarot cards?"

"I like the crystal ball even more. Hodden replied solemnly.

Issa couldn't laugh or cry either.

Immediately after, Hodden and Issa followed each other to the second floor.

Holden stopped and moved out of the way, and Issa stepped forward again and took Holden to three other murder scenes:

Nine-year-old Alec and six-year-old Laura, both of whom were clutched to their beds with pillows, were presumably poisoned in their sleep.

The host, Frank, collapsed at the foot of the bed in the master bedroom in a seppuku manner, ending his life.

Now that the bodies had been removed, a large patch of dried crimson blood still remained on the dark gray carpet of the master bedroom, a shocking reminder of what had happened here, not to mention the smell of blood in the air, which had become more and more damp and cold from the light rain of last night, and seemed to linger in the depths of the skin.

One very interesting little detail, which only Hadden could spot, was that the gore in the master bedroom was even more intense than in the kitchen.

Of course, the size of the space will inevitably have an impact, and the master bedroom is not as spacious as the kitchen and living room, and the fermentation of the atmosphere may be more obvious.

But that aside, Mrs. Lenoll was killed by a powerful blow to her head in the kitchen, and her brain could even be seen to burst, while Mr. Lenoll committed suicide in his bedroom, with a different concentration of blood—does that mean that Mr. Lenoll was bleeding more?

In addition, the master bedroom does not have the breath of the "wind element", it cannot be said that there is no at all, in fact, there are some faint ones, but the concentration is very weak, far less intense than staying.

"Seppuku, that should look like suicide, is there a suicide note?" Hoden's gaze narrowly and slowly scanned the room, as if he did not let go of every corner, so that the expression of inquiry was somewhat casual and perfunctory.

"Isn't a room full of corpses the best suicide note?" Issa's voice was steady and steady, as if he was reluctant to deal with questions like Hoden, but the suppressed emotion, mixed with sadness and anger, was hidden under the calm exterior, and he did his best to maintain his professionalism -

Issa wasn't angry with Holden, but was expressing her anger.

This came as a slight surprise to Holden.

Hodden knew that such a tragedy would make anyone angry, and to his surprise, as the squadron leader of the Eighth Precinct Homicide Squad, Issa should have witnessed countless tragedies, even unimaginable tragedies, but she still did not lose her softness, either because she had not been in the industry for a long time, or because she had her own beliefs.

Judging by today's brief contact, it should be the latter.

In fact, Hoden does not like to deal with people who are strong in their beliefs, because they are too determined and too persistent, for better or worse, and they are always able to make those souls who go with the flow aware of their insignificance, and of course, because they are too paranoid.

But it is undeniable that people with strong beliefs often mean brave and strong, who may not succeed, but who are able to stand up in the midst of chaos. This is admirable.

It's just that...... Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing for the vigilantes is not something that can be said in a few words, at least for the victims, and Holden can only conclude that.

Issa did not find herself the subject of Holden's observation, and she tried to calm her mind as she continued, "A small advertisement was found in Mr. Lenor's trouser pocket, which was the private advertisement for Senior Joya of 'Maple Lane', and only senior clients could get it. We guess this should be the fuse. ”

Senior Joya?

Isn't this a little too simple?
