Science is amazing. It can explain so many things and solve so many problems.
Science can't solve everything, however.
DNA evidence has been misinterpreted. Blood splatter analysis is questionable. There are diseases that are decades old and still cannot be cured.
It might be convenient to use science to solve whatever mystery or crime is happening in your story, but it isn't always realistic.
It's hard to find complete fingerprints. You can't use forensic evidence to identify someone if their information is not in any system. Sometimes, there are traces of too many humans in a public place to pick out one suspect.
Science is great and can solve many things, but it can't solve everything. Exaggerating its abilities in crime solving can turn off your readers. Make sure that your science is realistic when you want your readers to believe your words.
