Chapter 5 - Biological Evidence
“Let me set the record straight, you want to make my grandson's corpse as a test subject and go to the scene?” Saintess Vallie was slightly surprised after hearing the young man's request.
“Of course” briefly reply the young man.
Saintess Vallie was a little hesitant to take this decision. According to the religious teachings he believed, disturbing the body of someone who had died was a taboo act with great sin consequences. In his belief, the corpse should be given final respect for the rest of his life and buried it properly.
Of course, that did not apply to the young man before him. You could say he was currently very interested in examining the corpse he had just met. Moreover, the condition of the corpse is still fresh, although most of the body blackened.
“Is there no other way?” Saintess Vallie tried to persuade the young man.
The young man wore a flat expression and pretended not to hear Saintess Vallie's words.
“Corpse trials..it feels a little outrageous. shouldn't they rest in peace without any more interruptions?”
“...” the young man fell silent.
“Wait.. don't tell me you're serious about this?”
“...” the young man is still silent.
“Please.. whatever it is. can you not damage the body of one of my grandchildren.”.
“...”
“Please.. let it last time.” Saintess Vallie looked frustrated with her words.
The burden on his mind was easily felt. Of course because her responsibility as a Saintess made her so attached to her grandchildren.
“At least.. let her calm down this time.” this time Saintess Vallie's voice sounded so weak.
“...”
The young man still ignored him.
His memory was still clear about what had just happened. With both hands, he killed one of the NPCs.
In fact, he still held a small grudge for being used to end the life of an NPC. Although this was the game world, but the mental attack he received was so great. Because of this anyway, she planned to blackmail Saintess Vallie with a considerable amount of pay to exchange in the native world currency.
This young man realized something, he had killed one of the NPCs but his character's status at getting into the Wanted level. It bothered him a little but he would focus on this matter first.
Saintess Vallie bowed lethargic.
“You know, there's one way for that” the young man finally opened his voice.
Saintess Vallie looked at the young man.
“Give me at least some samples of his body or blood.”
“Blood?” Saintess Vallie was very confused. He tried to understand why the young man needed the blood of one of his grandchildren.
“At least I want a blood sample on a different part of the body. If you see from the condition of his damaged body like that please separate some parts that rot and that have not rotted. At least, I want to know the difference between the two.”
Saintess Vallie is still confused.
“What is blood for?” finally Saintess Vallie gave in to her confusion and decided to ask.
“Of course for trial material, didn't I already say it before.”
“You're serious about it?” Saintess Vallie looked at the young man with a sharp gaze.
“Of course I'm serious, you should be grateful that only blood samples taken even in the world of blood forensics are still not enough. The information that can be obtained may be lacking. I'm interested in the condition of his blood on such a body.”
“Fo-forensic?” saintess Vallie's face was inundated with questions.
“Because I'm still too beginner to this, at least I need a lot of materials to test. In this case, your granddaughter is very suitable.”
Saintess Vallie holding her head. A deep dizzy feeling began to strike his head. Right now, he was so indecisive in taking the decision from the young man's request.
“After you leave it in that condition, don't tell me you can't do it?” ask the young man.
“...” Saintess Vallie was silent.
“Do not forget, because you do not want to let go of his suffering. He was tormented like that. You know, it's been really torturing him. Living in such conditions is just filled with pain.”
The young man's words were right. Under such conditions, adding to life expectancy for a few days was indirect physical and mental torture, he now understood just how much pain his grandson was going through.
Saintess Vallie could not say anything else. He only felt guilty for adding to the suffering of one of his grandchildren.
Saintess Vallie looked back at the young man, this time her gaze was slightly brighter than before.
“What by taking one of my grandson's blood can know who is behind all this?”
“I don't know. but it's possible that” the young man opened his skill list settings.
“Alright. if it can help you. But what will you do with that blood?”
“It's okay, just a small DNA check only.”
“DNA?” just looking at Saintess Vallie's expression, the young man knew that Saintess had no information about what DNA was.
“Good grandma, time for a light lesson for you. To be honest I'm still studying it too but I think we can jointly dig up what information your granddaughter has been through by investigating her blood. Especially on the part of his body that is rotting.”
“...” of course the facial expression of Saintess Vallie was very grim when she remembered her grandson.
“First, we start from the base first. What is DNA? DNA is short for deoxyribonucleic acid. This DNA is the main foundation that makes up the individual's genetic makeup that can be ascertained in every cell of the human body. DNA is a very remarkable tool because it is able to distinguish each individual through a series of DNA bands except for identical twins, there are some that can distinguish identical twins but we can just skip it. If only we had DNA samples alone, it could help connect the perpetrators, attribute supporting evidence, victim identification, he said, even if lucky we can find the physical condition of the suspect locked to the DNA left at the scene.”
“Wait a minute, we can find out the perpetrator only from blood?” ask Saintess Vallie.
“Of course, but if we find ‘Biological Evidence’ in this case the blood belongs to the perpetrator. But for your granddaughter this maybe we can find out why her body could be like that after checking her blood.”
“How do we find the perpetrator's blood?”
“That's our main problem, it's been up to three days, isn't it? There are several factors that affect the DNA left at the scene of the event, namely temperature, humidity, bacteria, and fungi. I want some blood samples because not all of the DNA evidence found can help the investigation even the resulting DNA profile could have been damaged after a few days with uncertain place conditions especially in the case it's blood. In the crystal recording at least I hope from all the bodies that fall, one of them is able to hurt the main perpetrator.
“So it does not guarantee to find the perpetrator?”
“Although that does not guarantee but can still help with investigation and get additional information.”
“But, you said you wanted to come to the scene for what?”
“Of course to look for any other evidence left. I wish I could find other DNA evidence or a clue, I wish I could find another biological evidence there. The blood of your grandson can only guarantee the cause of his body becoming rotten.”
“I'm getting dizzy. We can talk slowly” Saintess Vallie holds her head.
“...” the young man fell silent.
“Oh, there's one thing that bothers me. Why should I thank you for only the blood samples taken?” ask Saintess Vallie.
“Because there are other sources to take DNA.”
“Don't tell me that, dissect a corpse?”
“Well, I'm not very expert to get to that level but there are other samples that contain DNA more or less like the blood we just discussed, semen, skin cells, hair, muscles, etc, brain cells, bones, teeth, saliva, mucus, sweat, nails, urine, feces, and it seemed to be there again but I didn't know what it was. I'm still a beginner here, too. All of that will help identify the victim and collect information adjacent to the victim.”
“Why are there so many?” ask Saintess Vallie.
“Because logically, our bodies are made up of a wide variety of materials right? If we take an example from this place. To find out how this place was built we can take some parts of this place starting from the wood that supports the wall, a small layer of stone that stands firmly as a support ladder, he said, as well as the ceramic floor that stores the basic material of the foundation. With that part taken, we can estimate how to build this place. Similarly, DNA, many constituents until we are facilitated to find out what form it is composed of a series of DNA constituents.”
“I.. makin. do not understand..”
“Yeah, it's only natural. Because this science basically does not exist in this world. Even I doubt myself if I can find any other DNA. There are many races in this world that are not human. That raises a new question for me, what does their DNA look like?”
Saintess Vallie felt a bad aura regarding this. He stood up and walked to the exit.
“...” The young man looked at Saintess Vallie who had quietly gone to the door of this room.
As Saintess Vallie opened the door, two maid-clothed girls stood up in the position of wanting to knock on the door of the room.
Saintes Vallie was not surprised to see the two girls as if she already knew why they were standing there.
“What do you guys do next?” ask Saintess Vallie.
The two girls looked at each other, with their small nods then looked at Saintess Vallie.
“Saintess Vallie, let us take care of our sister's body” both girls talk at the same time.
Saintess Vallie looked at the two girls, “So, you already know the condition of your sister?”
“Of course! especially when knowing the condition of big brother like that, there is no way we can keep quiet!” said one of the girls.
“You two enter” Saintess Vallie invites the two girls into the room.
When the two girls entered, their gazes were turned to the young man who was sitting on the sofa. Saintess Vallie sat down next to the young man and they sat down opposite.
“ Introduce, they are the younger brother of someone you.. uh. how do you explain... who you ask help, maybe?” while saying that Saintess Vallie introduced them.
“Viona Nala, nice to meet you, Guest177013.”
“Viera Nala, nice to meet you, Guest177013.”
They say it simultaneously, not just their physical appearance of twins but their words seem to be connected to each other. Is it just a coincidence for twins?
The young man looked at them.
“Em.. Can I help you?” ask the young man.
Hearing the question the young man asked made one of the girls raise her hand.
“I don't deny that, do you mind?” reply the young man.
“Of course!” the girl immediately replied.
“Viona, enough! Even if brother is not killed, he will only suffer more! Recovery magic alone did not give any effect” the girl next to him held back the hand movement that wanted to hit the young man.
“Viera, didn't you hear just now? He admitted to killing our brother! And you just let it go? Don't you care about our sister? Moreover.. You heard it is not. he wants to do something on our sister's body!” the girl looked so angry that even her fist was already preparing to hit the young man.
It's catchy.
The girl in appearance made no difference but their natures were different from each other. Extremely aggressive and passive, a surprising combination to behold.
The young man only gave a small smile seeing this, it seemed like he had opened a pandora box that only contained problems with each other and was growing.
“It's very funny” said the young man.
Hearing that sentence, the two girls looked at the young man.
“What's funny?” the tone of voice of the girl named Viona sounded so upset. His emotions were still embedded in the look of his face.
“It's okay, I only remember past events.”
“Viona, relax! Let's listen to the explanation first. Although this is the first time we know if blood can be a proof to lead to the real culprit-“
“It's just Viera crap!” protest Viona who cut Viera's words.
The young man was seen enjoying this charade, even he had already confirmed that the plan to get a DNA sample would fail and preferred to enjoy this little drama.
“But Viona. It could happen!” this time Viera denied Viona's words.
“!”
The young man was surprised at the thought of this girl named Viera. Put aside the fact that this was a game world, but the intellectual quality of each NPC was apparently different. This becomes important information to see how far the development of NPCs in a game.
Viera may think logically and Viona uses her emotions to act.
“That kind of incident where there might be!” deny Viona.
“...”
“...”
“...”
“...”
Viona's larger voice made this room become silent. He was not wrong at all, the truth was like that. It happened because of the lack of evidence found.
But, once again the two twin girls argue with each other again.
Beside them, Saintess Vallie only covered her face with her hands. “I knew this would happen” her little voice rang out to the young man next to her.
“Oh.. so this isn't their first time this far?” reply the young man.
“I-iya..so..” Saintess Vallie slightly awkwardly answered him.
“Of course they don't know how important biological evidence is. If they know that blood can have a big impact on additional information, of course they will be aware of why there is work to clean up the crime site to clean it does not leave any evidence.”
“It looks like your world is so complicated, is the job worth the pay?”
“Of course, cleaning the corpse, bloodstains, scratches, it is enough to make police investigators difficult especially if the condition of the scene in the enclosed space.”
“But, to be honest. is there a crime case that can be solved by blood?” ask Saintess Vallie.
“Of course there are, there are actually unique cases that even you might be hesitant to believe in”
“What case is it?” ask Saintess Vallie.
“Actually it's an ordinary car theft case, but the solving of their case is very unique because the suspect was led by a mosquito.”
“Car theft? Mosquito?” Saintess Vallie is confused.
“Oh, right too, I forgot, in this world there is no such thing huh?”
“Of course! Our world is different! Explain it using our world logic!” replied Saintess Vallie who was a little upset.
“Seeing you like this is interesting as well, if only you were younger maybe I would have fallen in love at first sight.”
Saintess Vallie was silent.
“Are you trying to seduce a Saintess?” ask Saintess Vallie.
“Sial! Caught!” quickly answer the young man.
“You should be even more creative for that, in my youth, which like that was very common. Back to the main topic! Explain what you mean! Don't try to move the subject again!” this time Saintess Vallie's expression was forced with a serious look but the red hue on her face was clearly visible.
The young man finally understood how the original character of Saintess Vallie was.
“For starters, are there insects in the world that suck human blood?”
“Eh? Whatisit? Isn't that so terrible!”
“...”
“You live in a comfortable world without mosquitoes apparently. It's delicious, I'm a little envious of this.”
“So this mosquito is an insect capable of sucking human blood? And what is a car?”
“Mobil itself is a vehicle with four wheels on its side.”
“Oh, like a horse carriage!”
“Ya, maybe like that.”
“Continue!”
“Are you in too much of a hurry?”
“I'm a little curious about the case!”
“Alright, I will continue. according to the information given. The incident took place in June in the Finnish city of Lapua. The car itself was found adjacent to the Seinaejoki train station about 25 kilometers from the initial location of the stolen car.”
“...”
“You don't want to ask something?”
“The name of the city or place does not interest me, please continue.”
“...”
“After the car was found and thoroughly investigated. They found a mosquito that seemed to have sucked blood. With such a small finding they sent the mosquito to the lab to be tested and found the blood the mosquito had sucked matched the blood of a man not far from living in the area. After the incident, they charged the suspect with blood that matched it to conduct litigation. The blood evidence then became trial evidence, they even admitted for the first time that insects were used to solve a case. For that blood DNA samples taken from the mosquito was a solution to a unique theft case, because the suspect only had an alibi get a ride from a man who drove the car, he said, but such coincidences are rare, right? Moreover, the car was stolen. What kind of thief offers a ride on his stolen car?”
“Hey, if only you had a DNA sample from my grandson. Could there have been a lead to the culprit?”
“Maybe, but.” the young man looked at the two girls who were still arguing. “With conditions like this is very impossible right?”
“You're right” Saintess Vallie agrees with the young man's words.
“Oh, by the way, where was the scene of the incident? Maybe I can find another clue there.”
“Location of the place is in Boot Camp Server, may currently have guarded warriors from the kingdom.”
“Boot Camp Server, familiar name. Isn't this a coincidence?” the young man remembered the words of the maid he met.
“What will you do after this?”
“Hmm..Might pay a visit to Boot Camp Server, Oh! By the way. May I get a down payment first? I'm a little out of money now.”
“...” Saintess Vallie looked at the young man cynically.
“How much do you need?” ask Saintess Vallie.
“Honestly, if you want me to do a DNA check of about 30 Ema-“ Coins
“30 Gold Coins!” Saintess Vallie was shocked to hear that.
“Well, because I didn't get that DNA sample. I think 15 Gold Coins is enough to cover it right now. Think of it as a down payment, after all checking DNA takes a lot of time and you think there are how many races in the world?”
“Guh-“ Saintess Vallie slightly depressed.
“I can only pay him 10 Gold Coins for now.”
“It doesn't matter” reply the young man.
“You don't mind that apparently. Oh yeah, I'll prepare your trip to Boot Camp Serere but can reduce your payment amount?”
“Itu.. can be set.”
Saintess Vallie and the young man stood up and left the two girls still immersed in their argument fight.
Until the door closed though, their voices were still heard to the outside.
“About, until how long have they been like that?” ask the young man.
“All day” replied Saintess Vallie.
