Hey you, Tarsh.
What are you doing, Tarsh?
I'm opening the safe, Tafsh, what's wrong?
Are we meeting in a resort?
I'm a thief so I'm stealing!
You'll do it empty handed?
Sorry, I didn't have time to get cake!
Next time I'll get something, now let me do my job!
Take this pair of gloves...
Because of the fingerprints.
Throw better.
If they caught you for fingerprints, you won't get bailed out.
All good now.
Wait, why aren't you wearing anything over your head? You want to get caught?
Don't be afraid, I won't fully open it,
I'll just slightly open it and reach inside.
Are you jealous on me, Tarsh?
What are you saying, man?
Take this and wear it over your head.
If your hair is uncovered like this,
a hair may fall from you, the investigator will find it and find your DNA!
Then you'd say "I swear it's not my DNA",
although we all know that it is your DNA.
What is that, Tafsh?
You stole from the clinic where you work?
You stole the place that pays you?
Shame on you.
Well yeah, I'm not a doctor.
Plus, we're in your uncle's apartment.
I feel like I am still working in Burger King.
Take this, wear it too.
So that your smell does not stick on the safe,
and then blow in the face of the officer.
My smell? Am I a herring?
No, but so your wife doesn't know that you were here.
Come on, get it done!
I'll sweep the place while you're at it.
Is there something else I should do before I open this ill-fated safe?
Yes.
I want you after you finish your robbery...
and make sure you remove all fingerprints...
to come and examine me because I've been having a pain here for a week.
I can't take it.
Hello?
Police?
I want to report myself...
-You stupid! You called from your phone? -...about a crazy person stealing a safe.
-...in doctor's clothes! -This is how they will reach you!
Save me from this man!
Hello my dear viewers,
welcome to another episode of ElDaheeh.
There is an important note before the beginning of the episode:
This episode, my friend, includes talking about death, murder, and suicide.
We advise sensitive viewers not to watch it,
and our little friends to not watch it either.
I'll give you a 20-minute interval to get the little children out.
Did you get them out? I'm clear to curse?
I'm kidding, my friend. We are a respectable show, even if there are no children watching.
In the novel "The Book of Destiny" by the French philosopher Voltaire,
the hero, Sadiq, is isolated in a simple house on the banks of the Euphrates River.
One day, he saw the queen's men looking around the forest with great concern.
They asked him, "Have you seen a lost dog?"
He said, "You mean a female dog?"
They told him, "Yes, the queen's female dog, Spaniel!"
He said, "Does she limping on her left leg, and her ears are a little long?
Congratulate her, she got married!"
The leader approached him and said, "Where is she?"
He said, "Honestly, I didn't even know that the Queen has a dog!"
No one knew what he was high on, so they just left him and went on.
A few days later, he was surprised by the soldiers again,
as they looked around in the forest with the same concern.
"All good, guys?" and they replied, "The king's horse ran away. Didn't you see it?"
He told them, "He's about 1.5 meters high,
with a meter long tail and wearing a silver horseshoe?"
They said "Yes!", he replied, "I don't know, I haven't seen it."
Here, the soldiers suspected that Sadiq had hidden the dog and the horse.
He was imprisoned and fined.
But after a few days, they were surprised by the dog and horse in the forest.
They asked Sadiq to explain his situation,
"How did you know them without you being the one who took them?"
Here, Sadiq replies "I saw marks among her footprints...
that made me deduce she had dangling breasts,
and on the sides of her front feet,
there were traces that made me know that her ears were long and dangling,
and the footprints all have a specific curve, except for one leg,
so, I knew she was limping.
As for the horse, I found tree dust fallen about a meter away,
so I concluded that this is the length of his tail that dusted off,
the leaves he was shaking off were from a tree that's 1.5 meters high,
so I was able to deduce the height of the horse,
and from the fingerprints his horseshoes left behind, I deduced they were silver.
Sadiq's astonishing conclusions, which may seem like fiction,
are, without exaggeration, the same thing that forensic investigators do.
So that they can imagine and build the scenario in which the crime occurred,
from some traces and signs.
And in this episode, my friend,
we will showcase some tools that help investigators solve cases.
Also, we will learn how to deceive them and have the perfect crime.
Let me tell you, my friend, if you don't already know
that we live in a society, and there are rules by which society is organized.
Therefore, when we break these rules, we commit a crime.
"Seriously, Abo Hmeed? I thought we lived in a refrigerator door."
Crime is as old as man because of human nature.
Our beautiful nature, my friend, is being mutilated
with feelings such as anger, greed, or revenge.
In order for the society to maintain its order,
it needed to hold accountable those who break his rules.
But how can it hold them accountable, when no one saw them committing the crime?
Of course, my friend, as you know, any criminal leaves evidence behind.
But no one will be able to know whether this is evidence or not.
But even the worst criminals leave behind evidence.
This evidence only needs a specialist who can find it.
The specialist was not always there,
so the law had no choice but to conduct an interrogation.
They told the thief to swear!
Of course the suspect will deny,
so the law resorted to primitive tricks to detect lies.
Like what? Torture, to set the suspect on fire,
if he was burned, he was guilty, and if he survived, he was innocent.
Or throw them into the sea, who drowns is guilty, and who floats is innocent.
Or the accused challenges his accuser to a duel,
like Game of Thrones,
and God will have the truthful one win.
These interrogation methods were based on divine intervention.
If the accused is innocent, the gods will intervene and save him.
With progress through time, humans have found more logical ways.
In ancient India, they filled the accused person with dry rice and let him blow,
and see if the rice came out or remained stuck in his mouth.
Here, my friend, they are not interested in rice,
they are interested in the accused's mouth,
because if he was honest, his mouth wouldn't be dry.
Of course, these methods made many innocent people
pay for mistakes they did not commit.
A need arose for knowledge that could help the law perform its mission.
One of the earliest attempts for this was in the 14th century in China,
when a farmer was killed with a machete,
so they gathered all the machetes and stacked them side by side.
They waited a while until they see which machete would have flies gathered on it,
and the machete with the flies on it
they knew that this was the murder weapon.
"Wow Abo Hmeed, what a brilliant story,
now what does a machete mean?"
It is, my friend, something similar to this banana knife, if you know it.
"Sorry, Abo Hmeed, I have a question. What's the name of the science that helps law?"
It, my friend, is known as "Forensic Science",
not forensic pathology.
"It didn't get a high score for medicine?"
No, my friend.
let me tell you that forensic medicine is a branch of Forensic Science.
"Forensic Science"
Which has different branches,
like, for example, the study of ballistics,
that studies the physics and behavior of different bullets,
and also forensic psychiatry,
that determines the mental state of the accused,
there's also forensic dentistry.
"What do these do, Abo Hmeed?"
My friend, imagine with me if the body decomposed,
what will remain of it so that we can know the age and identity of its owner?
Teeth!...Teeth are the last organs in the body to decay,
this helps us a lot, for example, in plane accidents
that are all pieces and remains.
Another science, such as forensic toxicology,
which is used in cases of poisoning and drug abuse,
and lets us know the victim died of which poison or drug.
If someone was driving a car, for example, was he under the influence of alcohol or not?
And so, and so, and so.
Every aspect of the crime has science that can reveal and explain it.
The truth is that movies and series created an inaccurate idea of investigation.
The case gets complicated, so they call a genius investigator,
who lifts fingerprints and solves the mystery.
He sends evidence to the laboratory, and the tests are delivered on the same day,
and confirm his conclusions, which were correct from the beginning.
This, my friend, is a completely unrealistic efficiency.
"Abo Hmeed, what is realistic?"
Let me tell you, in 1910,
when the French scientist Edmund Locard established the first crime laboratory,
he put a simple rule, the principle of exchange or transmission of evidence,
anyone who has been in the crime scene will leave something behind,
and won't leave without carrying something from it.
Especially, in crimes that involve physical contact, such as murder and rape,
the victim and the criminal exchange evidence with each other.
The starting point of the investigation is the crime scene evidence.
Therefore, the most important thing for the police
is that the crime scene is preserved as it is,
protected from being contaminated.
"Wait Abo Hmeed, there's bodies, blood, and remains everywhere,
and Ahmed Samir, from Helwan, is the one who will contaminate it?"
What is meant here, my friend, is to change the location of anything or touch it.
I'm telling you, my friend, this so you don't do like what most movie heroes do
who enter the crime scene, and hold the knife with their fingerprints,
then they play around with the knife,
and then be on the run from a crime they didn't commit!
For 29 episodes, we are watching someone retarded!
Stay away from the crime scene! You found a crime, don't play with anything!
Scream, call the police, walk, run away!
The first policeman to arrive is the one who tapes around the crime scene.
There is nothing to be lifted or changed.
Those who examine wear protective clothing as they look for evidence,
evidence like blood stains, boot marks, the patter of a car wheel,
fibers fell from the criminal's body,
the victim's clothes are also checked to see if they have traces,
like saliva or semen.
They describe the evidence, photograph it, and record its location
an a detailed sketch of the crime scene.
This is an important strategy for
if the accused's lawyer tries to dispute the evidence.
"Everything is intact, sir, it's all as it is."
We then start analyzing the evidence, and see what we'll find.
For example, blood spots,
specialists analyze it based on their knowledge of blood behavior.
Our blood behaves according to certain biological, physical and chemical principles.
So from the amount of blood and the pattern of its distribution,
we can conclude some things,
for example, if the victim died with a sharp object or a strong blow,
this will leave a pool of blood behind.
If it's a gunshot, it will produce smaller drops of blood dispersed over a wide area.
If a drop of blood falls at an angle of 90,
it will create a perfect spherical shape.
Whenever the angle of attack changes, the shape of the blood stain will change,
which indicates how the victim was standing,
and if the injury came from the door or from the window,
and what happened after the bloodshed?
Is the blood found at the crime scene of one type, or of two types?
In order to know whether the perpetrator while attacking
was injured or not during the crime.
And so, and so, and so.
Another important piece of evidence, my friend, is hair.
That's why, when you commit a crime, shave your hair!
Man, my friend, as is clear, all the time sheds hair,
approximately, 100 hairs a day.
Hair at a crime scene can determine whether it is a man or a woman,
human or animal, and if it is an animal, what is it?
Was the hair pulled during a fight or fell naturally?
Was it from a freshly cut hair or a dyed hair?
If there are suspects, we can compare the hair samples with their hair,
with a device called the Comparison Microscope;
two microscopes that give you an image of the two samples to compare,
and based on this, you determine whether this hair is the killer's.
Of course, my friend, this is not 100% conclusive evidence.
But it's a jackpot if the hair fell with its follicle.
Here, we can analyze using DNA technology,
this is the gold standard for identification.
"Yes, Abo Hmeed, like fingerprints."
Let me tell you, my friend, that fingerprints are evidence.
But it is not conclusive evidence.
"Wait Abo Hmeed, so if I'm committing a murder
I don't have to wear plastic gloves?"
My friend, please, don't do this! Plastic is very harmful to the environment!
Why are fingerprints not conclusive evidence,
while we both know that no two people have the same fingerprint,
not even identical twins.
Not even the fingers of your hand have the same fingerprint.
Also, its shape is fixed in your hand for the rest of your life.
It's the same fingerprint, even when your skin changes.
The problem, my friend, is in the way we analyze it.
We have oil on our skin, no offense, we are sticky,
this oil is like ink.
You hold a knife so the oil is left on it,
like your phone's screen, my friend.
When the killer holds the knife, he leaves traces of this oil on it.
The investigators put a powder that sticks to the oil, and the fingerprint is revealed.
Our fingerprints have bumps and grooves, things going up and things going down.
This creates a unique pattern for each person.
The fingerprint consists of 3 things:
60% of them are loops, winding around themselves,
35% circular or spiral vortices,
and 5% wave-like arcs.
Analysts look at certain points of the fingerprint,
and compare the fingerprints side by side.
If they have sufficient details,
the fingerprint will be identified because it is from the same person.
Of course, this is a very important tool.
But studies have found that the error rates are not zero.
Researchers make 0.1% errors.
Because of what is known as "contextual bias."
"So what, Abo Hmeed? 0.1% is 1 in 1000. This is a very small number."
My friend, if you were to be 1 out of 1000, you wouldn't think like that!
If I'm innocent, why would I get mistakenly arrested? and it actually happened.
Let me, my friend, tell you the story of Brandon Mayfield.
An Oregon lawyer was accused of the Madrid train bombing in 2004.
His fingerprints were matched positively
with a fingerprint found at the scene of the accident.
Fingerprints were the same,
the suspect was very suitable in their view,
especially since he recently converted to Islam.
We, my friend, are talking 2004, after the events of September 11, 2001.
Here, the FBI handed him over to the authorities
so they could begin investigating him.
Brandon, of course, denied the accusation.
He asked that he would get his own experts and analysts.
But surprisingly, the analysts who came from his side,
found the fingerprints matching too.
But a month later, the Spanish authorities found the real criminal,
and release Brandon.
The FBI issued a 330-page report,
about the mistakes made by analysts,
a case study report on the potential drawbacks of fingerprinting.
These examples confirm that there is no conclusive evidence, other than DNA.
Here, fingerprints are very likely to be inconclusive evidence.
Imagine, my friend, someone in America being accused of something in Spain!
Because the fingerprints match.
"One second, Abo Hmeed! We haven't talked about the body yet.
we're picking hair and looking at blood and fingerprints,
we want to talk about the bodies now."
What's wrong with you, my friend? You are weird.
But I am weirder than you, and I will tell you this is the role of forensic pathology.
And I love it!
A forensic pathologist is a doctor who has studied medicine.
But in many countries, forensic medicine is not a health care specialty.
On the contrary, actually, it is subject to the legal system,
the police or the public prosecutor are the ones who ask for the forensic pathologist to be involved,
if there is suspicion of murder,
and in the event that the identity of the killer is not certain.
The forensic pathologist is responsible for 3 things:
Initial examination for the body and determination of time of death,
secondly, transferring the body to the morgue to be examined,
and finally, submitting their statement before the court.
"After all the analyzes you did, and the tests you did, give your testimony."
They submit a report containing the cause and manner of death.
All this, in order to reach two important pieces of information:
time of death and cause of death.
The first thing the forensic pathologist determines is the time of death,
because even if we hear the sound of a gunshot, beating, banging, or screaming,
this could simply be the time of shock that led to death,
not the actual moment of death.
It is possible for someone to survive an injury for hours, days, and months.
"Abo Hmeed, how do we know the time of death, I'm worried about the body!"
The normal doctor who graduated from medical school
usually asks the patient and the patient replies,
but in the case of forensic pathology, it'll be difficult for the patient to reply.
-"Why, Abo Hmeed?" -Just being sassy, maybe.
It's a corpse, my friend. The corpse doesn't talk!
So, my friend, in the case of forensics,
the doctor listens to the story that the body tells after death.
The first thing is called Algor Mortis, "the cold of death",
as soon as our heart stops beating,
body temperature is about 37,
when our blood circulation stops,
and he temperature regulating center in the brain stops,
our body stops warming itself.
It begins to cool with a rate of 1 degree Celsius every hour,
until it reaches the temperature of the room it is in.
The pathologist measures the body temperature rectally,
and calculates the difference with comparison to the room temperature.
If the man's temperature is 30 and the room temperature is 24,
then we know how long has he been dead,
probably 6 or 7 hours.
The problem may appear, if the temperature in the room was 35,
so if his temperature is 35, and the temperature of the room is 35,
then we wouldn't know, maybe he was dead longer than that,
but the temperature, as we said, cannot go below room temperature.
Of course, my friend, these are the words of experts.
But I thought I'd tell you so you understand the difficulty of the situation.
The forensic pathologist also takes into account other factors
such as body mass and fat distribution,
Was he a drunk or not?
Did he have a fever before he died or not?
And so, and so, and so.
The problem is if the body temperature reached the room temperature,
here, there is no way to know the manner of death based on temperature,
So the forensic pathologist turns to the muscles,
as the muscles of the body after death are completely relaxed.
But one by one, they start to harden.
Let me tell you that our muscles contain two types of proteins:
actin and myosin.
At the time of contraction, actin hooks to the myosin,
creating the Actin-Myosin Complex.
Here, the muscle contracts.
Then, they need energy in the form of something called ATP,
that can pull them apart, so our muscle relaxes.
After death, breathing stops.
Therefore, the body does not receive oxygen,
thus, it will not be able to make ATP.
Here, the muscles contract, and there is no energy to release them.
A phenomenon known as Rigor Mortis.
This stiffness begins in the entire body at the same time.
But it is completed in certain places first,
because the muscles in it are small,
a phenomenon known as the Rigor March.
For example, the facial muscles around the eyes and jaw
their muscles show stiffness first after about two hours.
After that, stiffness occurs in the arms and hands.
Then, the big muscles in our lower limbs,
which takes from 6 to 8 hours.
If the doctor finds only the face stiffened,
then this death occurred approximately within two hours ago,
but it hasn't exceeded 6 hours yet.
There are still other signs that I will talk about in a few
that'll let the pathologist know accurately the exact time of death.
The entire body completely stiffen 24 hours after death,
after that, the stiffness begins to disappear.
When the proteins actin and myosin, which we talked about, begin to decompose,
it disappears in the same order,
first from the face, and then the arms,
then, the big muscles underneath,
until all the stiffness goes away after 36 hours.
Depending on the state the body is in now,
the forensic pathologist can calculate the time,
if the body was killed at 7 AM on a Saturday,
and the time between death and the body being found was estimated
by maybe 10 to 12 hours,
then, we can say that the time of death is from 7 to 9 PM.
The third sign is the blood condition.
When the body dies, the blood stops responding to the heart.
And it begins to respond to gravity,
so, roughly about a half hour after the heart stops,
blood begins to pool in the parts of the body closest to the ground,
and leaves a color where the blood has collected of bluish or dark purple.
After approximately 6 to 8 hours,
these marks are fixed and permanent marks.
But it may turn white,
if you press on it, it turns a little white, because the blood leaves it,
when you remove your hand, the blood comes again.
These signs are called Livor Mortis.
Not only is it useful in determining time,
but it also lets us know the position of the body when it died,
for example, if the blood marks were on one side of the body,
this means that the victim died and remained asleep on his back.
If the blood came down to the legs, it means that the victim was standing,
and the body remained standing 6 hours after death.
When we find a corpse with signs of blood different than its position now,
we'd know that this body moved,
someone might have intervened and changed its location.
Also, by analyzing the color and quantity of deposited blood,
we can know the cause of death.
If it is not a lot, it may be due to severe bleeding.
If it was too much, the body was trying to increase the amount of blood bleeding,
because the heart cannot pump,
and the cause here would be a heart failure,
he had a heart attack.
If the marks are light in color, it may be carbon monoxide poisoning.
If it is dark, then it's suffocation.
These are the 3 important signs to check for.
"No offense, Abo Hmeed, but there is a loophole in what you are saying,
which is you are talking about if the body was found shortly after the death,
what if this body was found days, weeks, months or years later?
then all these signs become toys for you and that forensic pathologist,
you're all now a burned card, you, and the forensic pathology."
Wait, my friend, please! Who is this burned card?
Why are you talking like that?
The truth, my friend, is that in cases like this,
investigators turn to other scientists, entomologists.
Let me tell you, my friend, that the first person to know that there is a body,
not the police, nor relatives, nor neighbors,
nor the neighbor's son, nor the neighbor's dog, but the blowflies.
Remember, my friend, those in the 14th century
using them to know the murder weapon?
Blowflies are very sensitive to the smell of decaying corpses,
they can reach the crime scene after only 15 minutes.
Let me tell you, my friend, that corpses are open homes for many insects,
they really feed a lot of strains,
entire insect lives revolve around corpses.
They eat it, lay eggs in it, and leave their larvae to feed on the corpse.
A corpse for them is like a mall.
Also, there are insects that attack the body immediately after death.
And other insects wait after the corpse decomposes,
those are the well-done folks.
Insects come to feed on the larvae that other insects have planted.
The pattern of insects provides important information about the time of death.
In some cases of poisoning, the body had decomposed,
and the only source for knowing the type of poison,
are the insects that consumed the poison from the corpse.
Forensic entomologists determine the postmortem period
by examining the insects that live inside the body.
For example, an insect such as Lucilia Sericata
feeds and lays eggs in one of the openings of the body,
in the eyes, mouth, or genitals.
What if it laid eggs in an enclosed place?
Then more likely there was a wound.
It takes 21 hours for these eggs to hatch,
that's if the temperature is 21 Celsius,
if the temperature is 27, it will only take 18 hours.
The larvae hatch, they keep eating,
after about 20 hours, the larvae move to another stage.
After that, a third stage, until it grows,
this growth process takes 4 days,
if the temperature is 20, or 3 days if the temperature is 27.
And then, it turns into a cocoon,
after about 7 to 10 days,
and adult fly comes out to us.
It mates and lays about 200 eggs again.
Generations come and generations go, and the corpse still there...
We count from these insects, these generations.
The role of forensic entomologists lies in determining the type of insect,
and which stage it is in now,
therefore, the time since death.
-This does not happen easily. -"They sure are disgusted!"
My friend, after a while of dealing with things, you stop being disgusted.
The difficulty always lies in the presence of different types of worms and insects.
Because, as you saw, temperature varies in time and rate.
If it's hot, things happen quickly, if it's cold, things happen slowly.
Therefore, they calculate the temperature at the crime scene,
and take a meteorological record of maximum and minimum temperatures,
and calculate the difference between
the temperature of the crime scene and the air temperature.
They check the temperatures of the previous days in the same way.
After that, they find out what kind of insect does the larva belong to, by DNA,
if a DNA record is not available,
they take the larvae and raise them until they reach adulthood.
From here, they know exactly what insect it is.
"So, Abo Hmeed, they left the body, and the suspect,
and are raising larvae?"
These larvae are the only witness, my friend.
Mind you, my friend, all this is to know something very important,
which is the time of death.
Because the time of death can help you when you investigate the suspects,
and you see the alibi of each one of them
when the crime happened in that window of time
where were you? what were you doing?
Do you have evidence to prove what you were doing?
Where were you on Wednesday from 8:45 to 10:45?
"I was watching the Champions League."
Also keep in mind that the time of death is not 100% accurate,
that's why it's called "estimated time of death."
This is not only important for criminal investigations,
but it is also important for civil cases such as insurance companies.
"Okay Abo Hmeed, now we know how forensic pathology deduces time of death,
how does it know the cause and manner of death?"
Let me, my friend, make a very important distinction:
which is the difference between cause of death and manner of death.
The cause of death is the disease or defect that led to death.
The forensic pathologist knows it from the autopsy.
As for the manner of death, it means whether the death was a natural death,
or accident, or suicide, or murder?
One cause of death can occur in different ways,
for example, suffocation,
there are signs that let the pathologist know that this is death by suffocation,
such as the eye is bulging or prominent,
and the lips are bluish, and there are splotches of blood on the face.
The tongue is flat, the mouth is open and foam is coming out of it.
Upon autopsy, the internal organs are found congested,
the lung severely affected, and there is an accumulation of abdominal fluids.
This is the cause of death, but it can happen in more than one way.
Who died of suffocation, the respiratory centers in his brain may have malfunctioned,
due to internal toxins, such as urea or ammonia,
or an external poison, such as opium or datura,
or a stroke or a brain tumor
that disrupted the breathing centers in the brain.
Death by these methods, have signs of death by suffocation.
But also, it is possible that the suffocation occurred
as a result of him inhaling toxic air,
or suffocated from dust or high humidity,
or a closed place with no oxygen.
Suffocation may occur as a result of the blood not carrying enough oxygen,
such as the cases of bleeding, dehydration, or heart failure.
It's possible that something blocked the airway,
a disease or someone held his breath,
maybe someone held his breath with his hand or a pillow,
or strangled him with a rope or a toy or whatever.
Each case of suffocation has different signs,
and the pathologist then sees,
are there signs of rope, or hands, or signs of resistance?
Therefore, he can determine which one was the manner of death.
After that, he determines whether this was suicide, murder, manslaughter.
"Abo Hmeed, you want to tell me someone can accidentally choke someone?"
Yes my friend, for example, a woman could be breastfeeding
her baby then roll over him whilst,
his airway was blocked and he died. It happens.
Thus, by diagnosis and using logic,
the pathologist can deduce the manner of death.
In the end, criminal investigations, by their nature remain
with an area of ambiguity and tension,
an attractive space for writers and artists,
with works and ideas that are exciting and attractive,
even if it's unrealistic.
While the reality of the investigations
is not less exciting or important than this image.
The forensic pathologist cannot deal with a living case
or see his effect on it,
but he helps justice in an important and pivotal way to take its course,
a very big responsibility, no less important than any other specialty.
Therefore, there is no room for individual opinions.
Sadiq, which I told you about in the beginning of the episode,
had an amazing sense of humor that could entertain us.
But when we shift to an important topic such as law enforcement,
destinies, and lives of people,
the right of a victim that can't say who killed him,
here, wittiness and intuition must be supported by science, logic, and art.
When you are dealing with the unknown, there is no easy answer.
As you saw, my friend, throughout the episode,
the investigation is not the task of one person,
but it is the task of many specialists in different scientific branches,
what they have in common is that their work begins when a person's life ends.
There is no way to know the full truth,
but when each branch does its part,
a final image is produced from their cooperation,
