Before discovering her husband's unfaithfulness, she was perceptive but her trusting nature caused her to dismiss them or let be assuaged by her loved one's reassurances. Now, she's quick to suspect foul play.

* Crime scene investigators and detectives have to pay attention to every detail of a case, in order to build convincing evidence for/against a suspect. All aspects of the evidence have to make sense and be able to stand up in a court of law. Anyone who has spend enough time in court (as part of their work, that is), will have had enough opportunity to observe trial proceedings and see how different pieces of evidence have to come together to build a case for/against a defendant.

* ComicBook/{{Robin|Series}} (Tim) usually does judicious amounts of background research and investigation on his own before approaching a suspect, and tends to notice clues overlooked by the police on scene. He's even employed P.I. Jason Bard to get further information on suspects and have a more experienced viewpoint on the matter. His eye for detail and ability to connect the dots is how he somewhat accidentally discovered Batman's secret id as a child.

* In ''Fanfic/VowOfNudity'', this is one of Serris of Tides' defining character traits. Thanks to his private investigator background, he regularly spots discrepencies in seemingly-innocuous scenes or makes large deductions about people from seemingly little information.

* Franchise/{{Batman}} employs this in his investigation of criminals, doing background research and analyzing clues to get information on the case at hand. He often ends up with a wealth of small details that he can piece together to solve the case. This shows up a number of times in the comics:
** In the Court of Owls storyline, Batman performs an autopsy on a corpse. He notices the body has several traces of physical scarring that mainly occur on martial arts coaches, leading him to deduce that the victim trains fighters (specifically, assassins).
** During the Hush storyline, Batman realizes that he isn't fighting a revived Jason Todd but instead Clayface when Jason's acrobatics look like Tim Drake's moves and when parts of Clayface start getting left on the ground in the rain.
** The Endgame storyline has Batman examining Joker's new toxin with a duality motif present in its molecular structure. This clues him into Joker's plans. Namely, that Joker isn't just out to beat the Batfamily but to humiliate and kill them all out of resentment as the "sequel" to their last encounter where Joker was beaten badly and fell off a cliff. Batman later figures out that the Joker found an esoteric chemical after falling off the cliff, allowing him to later find it and develop a cure for the toxin.

** Holmes-inspired ''Literature/DrThorndyke'' is also known for looking at clues other investigators - including the police - regularly miss. In ''"The Case of Oscar Brodski"'', a murder victim was found with smashed glass from his glasses, which the murderer planted so the scene looked like an accident. Thorndyke instantly noticed that the size and condition of the glass pieces were inconsistent with the "accident", each other, and the frames. He reassembled the glasses, noticed that there were an extra pieces, and assumed it was from a drinking glass, which turned out to be from the murder's home.
