The average viewer only knows so much about the science and methodology of solving crimes. If they're going to understand your [[Crime and Punishment Series|Crime and Punishment]] story at all, you're going to have to rely on a couple of standard crime-solving tricks. This is the [[Applied Phlebotinum]] of the [[Mystery of the Week]].
