I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3634 Reasoning
"The real murderer is... one of the seven missing people." Linton raised his voice.

"Uh..." Everyone looked at Linton for a long time without saying anything.

"No, just now you said that the real murderer was one of us, and now it is one of the seven missing people?" said Erina Nakiri.

"That's right. I have now completely solved the mystery of these seven bodies." Linton said, posing, "There is only one truth. I bet on my grandfather's name!"

“…” Nakiri Erina automatically filtered out some words that she didn’t understand, and was able to follow Linton’s words and said, “Then… tell me what this puzzle is all about.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. So even though seven people are missing now, we will most likely find seven bodies later. However, the actual number of dead people is not seven, but six." Linton said, "The murderer cut a part of each body so that he could splice them together, and splice six bodies into seven..."

"Wait a minute." Erina Nakiri couldn't help but say, "Let me interrupt your reasoning."

"Hey, it's very rude to interrupt my detective reasoning at this time, okay?" Linton said.

"But I have to interrupt. After all, you, a famous detective, haven't even figured out the current situation." Nakiri Erina said, "Let's not talk about what you said about splicing the body. I don't see any missing parts of the body here, but only one part is left. Is the reasoning you mentioned about this case?"

"Huh?" Linton was stunned for a moment, then thought about it carefully, it seemed to be true. The current situation seemed to be the opposite of the Kindaichi case he knew, where they cut off a part of each body, but in this case, they left a part of each body, it seemed that there was no such thing as piecing together people.

"Ahem, well, I just mentioned that case just to lay the foundation. I'm just going to talk about the methods used in this case." Linton began to force himself to talk nonsense. "Then you see, this case is somewhat similar to the case I mentioned, right? I mentioned this case just to let everyone understand the background, right?"

Linton began to stall for time. After all, he had just said so confidently that he had solved the case. It would be embarrassing to say that he had made a mistake. So he started talking nonsense and began to think seriously about the situation of the case.

Seeing that Nakiri Erina's brows were beginning to curl, he continued, "Then do you see that there is a significant common feature in the two cases, that is... the reason for dismemberment."

"What do you mean?" Erina Nakiri, who was about to question, was interrupted and asked.

"The reason is obviously to disguise the fact that the living person is dead." Linton continued, "It was obviously a human who committed the crime, so why did they have to pretend that it was eaten by a demon? This is definitely intentional, right? So just like the case I just mentioned, this person's purpose is most likely to fish in troubled waters."

As he was talking, Linton finally figured it out for himself: "Look, in general detective dramas, as long as the real body is not seen, the person is not dead afterwards, and is the real murderer? For example, if a finger is left behind, or a palm is left behind, have you seen similar plots?"

"It seems, indeed..." A police officer next to him actually nodded along with Linton's words. It seems that he also likes watching detective dramas. At that time, his words immediately attracted the attention of the group of people next to him, so they quickly lowered their heads.

"Leaving the palm and other things behind is just to let you confirm the identity. He probably calculated the order in which we found the bodies. The first body left a head. This first person was obviously really killed, and everyone who saw this head would naturally think that all the missing people might be dead. So when you saw this hand, your first reaction was that this person was dead?" Linton pointed to the severed hand next to him and said. "So what you mean is..." Hiroto Aoki heard what Linton said and instantly understood what Linton meant.

"You're talking nonsense!" Hasegawa Horihira next to him suddenly became excited, because what Linton meant by this was obviously that the person who left his hand was not dead, and he was the real murderer.

Even though he knew Linton's identity, Hasegawa Horihira couldn't hold back any more. After all, Dongju Tiancheng was his best friend, and he certainly didn't believe that his friend would do such a thing. "What evidence do you have to say that?"

"Uh..." Linton was indeed stumped. After all, he was just talking nonsense according to his own thoughts. Of course, there was no so-called evidence.

He had no idea if this was the case. Just as he was thinking about what to do, a member of the identification department suddenly spoke up, "That's true. I don't believe the victim is still alive. If nothing else, just looking at the amount of blood left at the scene, you can tell that with this amount of bleeding, the person must be dead."

"That's it!" Linton suddenly felt a flash of inspiration like Conan, and pointed directly at the identification officer and said, "This is the evidence."

"What? What evidence? Evidence that the criminal you mentioned is dead?" said Erina Nakiri next to her.

"Look at you, you say you don't understand." Linton said, "If my speculation is correct, then such a large amount of bleeding is obviously a problem. If a person wants to stay alive, it is impossible to bleed so much."

"So, you are saying that the blood here may not all be human blood, or it may be someone else's blood?" a police officer nearby asked.

"Well... I don't think it should be that simple. It's so easy to test DNA nowadays, so it's probably not a plan that can be easily seen through. It should be his own blood, but... it's probably drawn in advance, which means it was prepared in advance..."

At this point, Linton paused: "But if we prepare in advance, there will be a problem, that is, the blood will contain anticoagulants. The test in this regard should not be as routine as the DNA test. He just needs to delay it until the time when the demons are rampant."

"So he is betting that we didn't think of checking for anticoagulants before. Then I am betting that there are anticoagulants in his blood. If so, is this irrefutable evidence?" Linton said, pointing to the pool of blood on the ground.

This really stunned the people around.

At first, I felt that Linton was talking nonsense, and it didn't sound credible. But how come he started to sound credible?
This time even Hasegawa Horihei was a little shaken, after all, what Linton said was too realistic.

Seeing that he had really fooled these people, Linton was very satisfied. As for whether what he said was true, sorry, he didn't know it now, but fooling people was enough.
