Rather than scientific, this rule actually emphasizes the application of the scientific spirit, in other words, the supremacy of experimentation. Logical reasoning that can be repeatedly tested and supported by a complete knowledge system theory is trustworthy. ”

Hugo continued to ramble on the topic of reasoning or real cases.

In fact, his and Junsha's discussion of "pseudo-evidence" and "pseudo-solutions" in reasoning has gone beyond the scope of reality and genre literature, and has almost become philosophical empty talk, which is too esoteric and boring even for those readers who are interested in detectives.

No one knows why Hugo analyzed the case with Junsha in such a roundabout way, and it is almost a miracle that Sheriff Junsha can follow the detective's train of thought for so long.

Miss Goethe, who was guarding the door, even yawned secretly.

After the handouts were explained, the detective began to shake his head and analyze the specific facts of the case.

I saw him point his finger at the corner of the desk, and said calmly-

"For this electric Pokémon mass death case, we have one detail that needs to be confirmed first, that is: Is the place where the elf died really the biopower area of the factory where the body was found? It is not difficult to judge this issue, as long as anyone who has investigated the scene should be able to present evidence that meets the rules. ”

"Hmm, does it mean that physical evidence can be reproduced and cannot be falsified?"

Junsha closed her eyes and recalled the detective's reasoning handout, and then opened her eyes, and the answer had already come to her mouth-

"I thought of a piece of evidence: in the crater created by the explosion, there were fewer traces of damage from the ground explosion under the bodies of those covered Pokémon. This is a fact that cannot be faked in a short period of time, and it should prove that the Pokémon was in the center of the explosion at the time of the explosion. ”

Hugo shook his head and denied: "There is no problem with this evidence, but the proof logic is a little weak, because killing Pokémon and moving their corpses to the explosion site can also fake the same effect." ”

Looking at the sheriff's frowning brow, the detective proudly showed his reasoning logic-

"As Rule 3 explains, scientific theories can be trusted. I wonder if Ms. Sheriff has learned about the principle of resistance residue on Pokémon corpses? ”

"You mean the new forensic discovery that used the Sentry Mouse Curve?" Officer Junsha seems to have learned about the detective's paper in some strange way of remembering.

"Pokémon will spontaneously form resistance to external shocks in a living state, and when facing skills, it will also spontaneously form different degrees of resistance according to the different attributes of both parties."

As he spoke, Hugo took out his mobile phone and clicked on a few pictures in the album to show them in front of Junsha's eyes.

It was captured by detectives and assistants during the investigation of the explosion scene.

"This is the ground trace I found when I investigated the crime scene, the scene has been washed by rain, and the police have preliminarily cleaned it aside, but the uneven bumps near the crater of the explosion can still show traces. These clean-looking shallow platforms are where the elves originally displayed their corpses, right? ”

Seeing Junsha nodding, Hugo scratched to the next picture, which was a pile of fragmented mechanical devices, the metal surface was black and twisted, and the internal structure was all burned out—

"And this is the tragic condition of the abiotic substrate left behind at the site, even if it is as hard as steel. According to the comparison method, we can imagine that if the crime scene is placed in a Pokémon corpse that has died and lost most of its attribute resistance, those soft biological substrates will be defenseless against this level of explosion, turning into pieces of black shadow on the ground, and the police will not even be able to clean up the scene as perfectly as they are now. ”

"Yes. When the police disposed of the Pokémon corpses, they had lost signs of life, but they still remained in their original state. This can indeed prove that the place where they were killed was at the center of the explosion was correct. ”

Junsha nodded, remembering yet another piece of evidence that supported the detective's reasoning. Sure enough, after grasping the main point, the logical clues will emerge one by one like mud fish after rain?

"Very good, let's analyze these electric Pokémon, whether they died by suicide, homicide, or accident."

Hugo's fingertips moved a step on the table—

"In the eyes of ordinary investigators, whether it is the elves who collectively used the "Big Bang" and were killed by the moves of their companions after exhaustion; died as a result of an explosion accident in the factory; Or was it as a result of an outside attack, killed by a person who had planted explosives in advance - these were all deaths caused by violent blast injuries, and all of them would be scorched by flames, and the real reason for his death could not be discerned from the autopsy. Continuing to reason while the cause of Pokémon's death is still unknown will lead to a bifurcation of logic, leading to different and ambiguous solutions - leaving a gap in the reasoning that can be overturned. ”

"But in this case, now that Director William is exercising his right to silence, the existing information will not be able to determine the true cause of their deaths. Not to mention your harsh reasoning. Junsha couldn't help but say.

"No, in fact, you can." The detective raised his index finger and said, "That's what I just mentioned. ”

There are five types of Pokémon in the power plant: small magnets, three-in-one magnets, self-detonating magnets, lightning balls, and naughty bullets.

The first three are the composite properties of electricity and steel, and the last two are pure electric......

Hugo asked meaningfully: "Officer Junsha, when the police moved the elves away from the scene, did they find that the ground under the little magneto's body would be much more damaged than elsewhere?" ”

"If you say that, it seems to be ......" Junsha desperately recalled the scene of the whole department mobilizing to carry the corpse,

"Don't rely on vague memories to reason." Hugo reminded the other party and flipped to the next page.

"This is a top-down view of the scene, and because it was buried by a collapsed roof, there was no trace of anything other than the outline of the center of the explosion. But if we mark the shallow platforms found in those places on the map, we can see a clear difference......"

"In a dot matrix arrangement!" Junsha's mouth opened wide in surprise, "This is different from what we saw at the scene!" The elves we saw were scattered around the pits! ”

"This is where our reasoning comes in." The white-coated detective spread his palms and stared into Junsha's eyes, "Do you believe in the logic of reasoning in front of you, or do you trust your own eyes?" ”

"In the case of a murder or an accidental explosion, the impact from a specific direction will shake the elves away from their place, and it is impossible to leave such a neat dot matrix - only by lining up and using the 'Big Bang' at the same time, the elves will be able to balance the power of each other's moves, and it will be possible to form the scene shown in this photo."

"So it's suicide! This coincides with the testimony provided by Director William! ”

Junsha excitedly added: "The factory director did not lie, it was the demonstrators who chose to blow up the factory with a suicide attack, which caused this tragedy." ”

She hadn't thought about the possibility before, but so many answers and questions piled up that the answer that was supposed to come out was buried in the rambling discussion.

But then she became confused again—

"But why did these Pokémon choose such an extreme way? Working in a factory feels depressed, wouldn't it be nice to leave? Even if you are not satisfied with the working environment, if you lose your life, it will be all gone! No matter how extreme the elves are, it is impossible for them to express their demands by self-destructing. And Director William had previously reported to the police that an elf was about to blow himself up, so why did he keep silent after the incident? In terms of William's noble and upright conduct, this is completely unconscionable. ”

Hugo shook his head slowly: "This is actually the end of the answer. It is true that the elves committed suicide during the demonstration, but the murderer who forced them to commit suicide was the noble and upright character of the factory director in your mouth. ”
