Trace Evidence Laboratory.
White paint, white tables, white scientific equipment, and lab technicians in white coats…
This was the highest-level laboratory at the Luo Jin City Bureau Criminal Science Center. Universities and research institutes might have more advanced labs, but in the field of criminal investigation, the Trace Evidence Laboratory was considered the pinnacle.
Not to mention, just the requirements for a clean room far exceeded the total budget of a standard laboratory, and as for the various pieces of equipment, the smaller they looked, the more expensive they naturally were.
The technicians working in the Trace Evidence Laboratory were typically full-time professionals—across other forensic disciplines like medical examiners that usually emphasized specialization, requiring professional certification and training, whether it be on-site investigation, trace examination, toxicology, or chemical analysis, all were an assembly of elites.
