The mystery was solved. Thanks to the work of the forensic police and the researchers of the IMDEA Institutes , we could discover the person guilty of the robbery that ended with a victim in the morgue. According to the police, they had it much easier than normal, because in addition to the superb analysis of the tests carried out by researchers from IMDEA, the culprit confessed! And for the third consecutive year, the chosen stage was the Residencia de Estudiantes of Madrid.
Susana Molina and Isabel Espinosa IMDEA Food confirmed the first impressions of their colleagues: after analysing the DNA of the samples that did not correspond to the victim blood and skin under the fingernails , they proved his genetic tendency to have high cholesterol and his lactose intolerance.
And the grip was tightening on the culprit. Patricia Horcajada IMDEA Energy thoroughly analysed the scissors found at the crime scene and a piece of material embedded in the wound of the victim and gave scientifically irrefutable arguments that the piece of material from the wound matched with the piece missing from the weapon of the crime.
Narseo Vallina IMDEA Networks and Juan Caballero IMDEA Software with their analysis of the mobile phone of the victim, recovering deleted photos and chats, reconstructing the places they had visited in the final days,β¦ left the guilty party without any possible way out. The culprit, seeing that he had no way out, had to confess. All the evidence pointed to him, and he collapsed on stage.
For some time, he had been developing along with the victim a new material much better than graphene. Juan Pedro wanted to give their discovery to humanity altruistically, while the victim wanted to become rich by selling the patent. While he was opening the safe with a thermal lance without worrying much about the noise, because he thought that the victim was not home, he was surprised by him. Half jokingly and half seriously, with undoubted police and scientific rigor, IMDEA researchers and members of the forensic police of IMDEA-CSI showed that the research done in laboratories extends "out on the street" on many occasions, including at the scene of a crime to assist in police work.
