To many people who do not know the truth, detective is a romantic, handsome, and dream-filled profession.
But in fact.
Detectives in novels and animations are extremely rare in modern society, or even non-existent. Detectives in the real world basically do not use so-called reasoning skills. To put it bluntly, these people are actually paparazzi.
There are deep-seated factors involved.
Of course, this does not mean that this society no longer needs detectives. Since this profession exists, it means that there is a market for it. It’s just that we no longer need detectives who rely on their reasoning skills to help the police solve cases, or even are treated as guests of honor by the police. That is literary beautification.
In fact.
The vast majority of detectives do not even have legal authorization and are not allowed to get involved in criminal cases. They can only get involved in civil cases and daily disputes, such as marriage, property, gossip, and the like. The work they do has absolutely nothing to do with reasoning.
So to speak.
"Girl, I know you like reasoning, so I suggest that if you are interested, you can write a mystery novel. This will not only give full play to your talents, but also satisfy your interests. Why not do it?"
"Varied... .!"
Hua Qiong widened her cute little eyes, with an expression as if her dream had betrayed her.
"You're a detective!?"
"I have no legal authority to participate in a criminal case."
"Even if there is no legal authorization, you can still fight for it! And with your ability, isn't it easy to get the police's approval?"
“… … ..”
Gu Moli sighed, this girl has been deeply poisoned.
It's obvious.
This is because he has not experienced the beatings of society.
Thinking of this, Gu Moli, with the mood of educating the flowers of the motherland, continued: "How about this, let me put it another way. You think my reasoning just now is very powerful, right?"
"yes!"
When talking about the reasoning just now, Hua Qiong's eyes lit up again and he looked excited.
"So handsome!"
"... ..But reasoning is prone to error. What I just said is basically speculation. There is no solid evidence, and this is the only information we can get. But in today's society, the police can easily find out what I just said."
"This, this is a gap in intelligence! It's not a problem of reasoning!"
"That's right."
Gu Moli nodded: "This is the difference. Many things that could only be done by reasoning before can now be done with technology alone. Crime is no longer limited to methods, but has begun to use various high-tech methods, such as shooting someone from 800 miles away... How do you deduce?"
Hua Qiong: “（*゜ー゜*）???”
"Besides, there aren't that many high-IQ criminals in this world. Ninety percent of them are impulsive crimes, which don't require any reasoning at all. As for the very few high-IQ criminals, with today's technology, it's basically difficult for them to hide. If even the police can't find them, then I can't deduce them either."
In short, the detective's current situation is that it is useless to eat and a pity to throw it away.
"in other words."
Gu Moli patted Hua Qiong on the shoulder.
"Girl, times have changed."
Hua Qiong: "Σ(っ°Д°;)っ!!!"
Gu Moli's words obviously dealt a heavy blow to Hua Qiong's love of reasoning, but this girl was very strong in spirit, and after her body swayed, she actually managed to hold on.
"... No, that's not right!"
"Even if the role of reasoning has been greatly reduced, it is still useful! No matter how advanced technology is, when faced with complex intelligence and information, if you want to filter out reliable intelligence and useful clues, you still need reasoning, right? Times have not changed!"
"Well said!"
Gu Moli clapped his hands and immediately changed the subject:
"child."
“Do you know artificial intelligence?”
Hua Qiong: “???”
"It's already 2059, and computer technology is no longer what it used to be. Faced with a lot of complicated information, the police naturally have dedicated computer systems to conduct professional analysis and quickly screen out clues."
"Give me an example."
Gu Moli rolled up his sleeves, looked at his watch, and then said, "It hasn't been long since we came out, right? Let's go to the snack bar next to the community downstairs to eat a bowl of wonton, and then take a break. I estimate that within three hours, the police will be able to finish their work and go home."
"Eh? Why?"
“Because the case was solved.”
Gu Moli said as a matter of course: "There is a high probability that this case is an attempted murder. In this case, we just need to retrieve the surveillance video in the building, investigate everyone who has entered the building during this period of time, and then collect fingerprints, hair, and bloodstains left at the scene to compare with the corresponding candidates. This process and difficulty may have taken some time decades ago, but it is normal to get results in a few hours in modern times."
"What... then, you can't deduce anything at all?"
"That's not it either."
Gu Moli smiled; "At least I know that the murderer should be an unemployed vagrant who just moved into this residential building recently. He may have some smelly feet. It is likely that he committed a crime on impulse, but I don't know who it is. If I want to know, I must visit each one, collect intelligence, and slowly check, but the police can complete these tasks in an hour at most."
Hua Qiong was still a little unconvinced when he heard this: "How can you be sure..."
"Don't believe it?"
Gu Moli stretched out his hand: "If you don't believe me, let's go eat a bowl of wontons together. I'm almost starving."
... ... ... ...
So.
An hour and a half later.
The police swarmed in and brought out a middle-aged man with a stubble on his face from the building where Li Qin's room was, and then put him in a police car.
At that moment, Hua Qiong felt that her soul had gone away along with the police car.
"How about it?"
"Am I right?"
After paying the bill, Gu Moli stood up contentedly and patted his belly: "Okay, I'm almost going home. Kid, you should go home too, right? I still have classes at Renmin University tomorrow."
"Wait a moment!"
Hua Qiong came to her senses and hurriedly ran out after Gu Moli.
"What's wrong?"
"Haven't you been beaten enough by the cruel reality?"
"no... ."
Hua Qiong looked unhappy, but still said, "You said before that you knew the criminal was in that building, but I also carefully observed the crime scene before, but the police did not allow me to investigate further, so in the end I didn't see anything. How did you see it from the crime scene?"
"How did you know that?"
"Oh?"
Gu Moli raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Hua Qiong was still struggling with the details of reasoning even though she was beaten so badly by him with reality. This was obviously true love. As a senior detective, he should kindly explain the process and method of reasoning to her... ..
... .No way!
"Just think about it slowly after you go home!"
"Hello!"
Although Hua Qiong was still shouting behind Gu Moli, trying to keep him, Gu Moli still chose to leave without looking back.
But he never expected it.
This matter is far from over.
