Chapter 2144: Analysis Method Effective, Judgment Acknowledged

Xia Duo first used Scrying spells to obtain precise characteristic values of the behavioral patterns of sentient beings, such as blink frequency, muscle distribution, center-of-gravity curves, and so on.

Subsequently, he substituted these values into a temporarily crude Behavioral Analysis Algorithm.

Although, judging from the collected data itself, the difference between the two test subjects was minimal; looking at the data alone, the vast majority of people would believe these data originated from the same person.

But when these data were entered into the algorithm and underwent a series of complex calculations, the difference was no longer minimal, but became exceptionally distinct.

This is somewhat similar to the butterfly effect; for two truly different samples, that tiny difference, after being amplified by the algorithm, becomes a result that even an ordinary person can distinguish.

In fact, this approach of amplifying differences is also the core key of the vast majority of detection methods.

Of course, if it were merely to crudely distinguish whether those two test subjects were the same person, that was already the premise of the test; what Xia Duo wanted was not just this, he also wanted to analyze who exactly was imitating whom.

This is actually not difficult to handle.

An imitator, after all, is not the person being imitated; the behavioral characteristics they display might be very similar to the person being imitated, but Xia Duo is now able to distinguish them.

Further, it is about whose behavioral characteristics are more stable, and whose behavioral characteristics sway around the characteristics of another person.

If one were to describe it using curves, the behavioral characteristics of the person being imitated are roughly a straight line, while the imitator is a wavy line pierced through by a straight line.

It is just that when the final result came out, Xia Duo's expression was somewhat gloomy; it was not that the result was inaccurate or that an effective conclusion could not be drawn, but that the characteristic curves of both these people changing over time were unstable.

In other words, both of these people were imitating an unknown third party, or rather, the person being imitated did not "be himself" as agreed.

"Mage Aisite, if you have an opinion of me, you can bring it up to my face, rather than playing these little tricks. We had clearly agreed just now to let one imitate the other; why did you have them both imitate a third party at the same time! Do you really think I cannot see it?"

Xia Duo's tone was full of displeasure, and he then pointed his finger at General Hashimu, "I had one of the test subjects be a Calimshan person because I wanted the Calimshan side to also have the right to know. Now that they are both imitating a third party, General Hashimu surely cannot be unaware of this!"

General Hashimu managed to squeeze out an awkward smile, but his surprised gaze turned toward Aisite. Seeing this, Aisite hurriedly apologized to Xia Duo:

"I am very sorry. At first, I thought that precise behavioral characteristic analysis might just be a farce. Now the facts prove that I was wrong. I apologize for my arrogance."

Hearing this, Xia Duo's expression cleared slightly, and then he questioned Aisite: "Then do you believe my previous judgment now?"

"I personally believe it, but to make the surging public opinion within Kaitemier believe it because of this matter, I think Lord Xia Duo can do more."

"Oh? Then how does Mage Aisite think I should do it?"

"Uh—"

Perhaps it was the pride of an Elf that could not be set aside, or perhaps it was truly thin-skinned, but under the gaze of Xia Duo's all-piercing eyes, Aisite could not say a single word.

It was General Hashimu on the side who suddenly interjected, "I think Mage Aisite's meaning might be that he hopes Lord Xia Duo will hand over this kind of behavioral analysis method or Spell to them."

After Hashimu finished speaking, the group of people beside the Static Field almost all cast their gazes toward Aisite. Xia Duo could see that Aisite at this moment was embarrassed to the extreme, so he stopped pressing and asked directly:

"Is that so, Mage Aisite? Is it what General Hashimu said, that you want me to hand over the analysis method?"

With the principal party asking, Aisite could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. Gritting his teeth as if having made some major decision, he gave a firm answer in a resolute tone:

"Yes. If an analysis method cannot be made public, then on what grounds should the public believe the results obtained through it?"

"Very well," Xia Duo said suddenly.

Aisite had not yet reacted for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out: "What?!"

"I said I can hand over this analysis method to Kaitemier!"

Xia Duo only said this one sentence, but then changed the subject, proposing: "Mage Aisite saying this, does it mean that the Kaitemier side accepts my previous judgment, that is—the assassin and Talibu are not the same person, or at least not the same will."

"This—"

Aisite hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to answer, but after he was stunned for a moment, he suddenly changed his tune, "Yes, as long as you provide the behavioral analysis method, Kaitemier will agree with the judgment just now. In addition, our side will also provide corresponding compensation for the behavioral analysis method; we will certainly not let you be disappointed."

"Is Special Envoy Yilati also observing here?"

Perception Fields were spread all over the square. Xia Duo actually could not distinguish whether Special Envoy Yilati was among them, but judging from the other party's status and duties, even if there was no Perception Field from the other party here, the other party must be paying attention to this place at all times.

Regarding Xia Duo's inquiry, Aisite gave an affirmative answer and conveyed Special Envoy Yilati's attitude on this matter: "I hope Lord Xia Duo can continue to investigate; the Kaitemier side will definitely cooperate fully."

At the same time, General Hashimu here also received news from the Grand Archon. Besides expressing gratitude to Xia Duo, there was also an inquiry about whether the behavioral analysis method could be traded.

At the moment, the assassin Talibu being excluded from the identity of the assassin is very good news for Calimshan. Although the suspicion of the Mairide Family cannot be completely ruled out, at least it is not as serious as the initial situation where family members actively participated in the assassination.

At least there is no need to apologize with death; this can also be seen from Talafu's continuous Sending messages of gratitude.

【To be honest, I have been using Wild Fruit Reading to keep up with books recently. The source switching is easy, and there are many reading voices. Both Android and Apple are supported.】

But for Xia Duo, now is not the time to relax. The longer the time drags on, the more blurred the clues will become. Only by finding more direct evidence as soon as possible can the Mairide Family be freed from disaster, and can the already turbulent South be spared another war.

Of course, Xia Duo is not some Bodhisattva who saves the world, but a South with expectations of peace is more in line with his long-term interests.

Added to the fact that he is already involved and some short-term high returns that are difficult to refuse, he cannot quickly withdraw and leave.

It is just a pity for that Prince Xisi! I do not know where Kaitemier will go after this matter!

Under the premise of clarifying that "the day before the assassination and at the time of the assassination, Talibu was not dominated by the same will," the direction of the subsequent investigation was very clear.

It is to find out how Talibu was replaced, even if it was only his will!
