I really can't control myself

"The real culprit is...one of the seven missing people." Linton said loudly.

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

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

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

"..." Nakiri Erina automatically filtered out some unintelligible words, and actually followed Linton's words and said, "Then... tell me what this puzzle is all about.

"Yeah, yeah, so don't look at the seven people missing now. There is a high probability that we will find seven bodies in the future. However, the real dead people are not seven at all, but six." Linton said, " The reason why the murderer cut off parts of each corpse was to splice them together, splicing six corpses into seven..."

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

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

"But I must interrupt. After all, you, a famous detective, don't even understand the current situation." Nakiri Erina said, "Let's not talk about what you said about splicing corpses. I have no idea at all. I saw that part of the body was missing, but only one part was left. Is this the case you are talking about? "

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

"Ahem, um, I just mentioned that case just to lay the groundwork. Now I'm going to talk about the methods of this case." Linton started to insist on nonsense, "Then look at this time The case is somewhat similar to the case I mentioned, right? I mentioned this case just so that everyone can understand the background, right?”

Linton started to stall for time. After all, he had just said so confidently that the case had been solved. Now he was a bit embarrassed to say that he had made a mistake. So while talking nonsense, he began to seriously think about the situation of the case.

Seeing Nakiri Erina's brows begin to curl here, he continued to compile: "Then the cases you have seen twice have an obvious common feature, and that is... the reason for dismemberment."

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

"The reason is obviously to pretend that the living person is dead." Linton also said smoothly, "It is obviously a human being who committed the crime, why do you have to pretend to be eaten by a demon? This is definitely intentional. Right. So like the case I just mentioned, this person’s purpose is most likely to fish in troubled waters.”

As he talked, Linton explained it to himself: "Look, in ordinary detective dramas, as long as the person who has not seen the real body will not die afterwards, and is he still the real murderer? The one with the lower finger and one palm left behind, have you ever seen a similar plot? "

"It seems, indeed..." A JING member 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 a group of people next to him, so they quickly lowered their heads.

"He left the palms and so on just so that you can determine the identity. He probably calculated the order in which we found the corpses. The first corpse left a head. This first person was obviously really killed, and Everyone who sees this head will take it for granted that all the missing people may be dead. So when you see this hand, is your first reaction that this person is dead? "Linton? He pointed to the severed hand next to him.

"So what you mean is..." Aoki Hiroto heard Linton's words and instantly understood what Linton meant.

"You're talking nonsense!" Hasegawa Horihei, who was next to him, suddenly became excited, because Linton's words obviously meant that the man who left his hand was not dead, and he was the real murderer.

Even if he knew Linton's identity, Hasegawa Horihei couldn't hold it in anymore. After all, Dongju Tiancheng is his best friend. Of course he doesn't believe that his best friend would do such a thing. "What evidence do you have to say that?"

"Uh..." Linton was indeed stunned by the question. After all, he was just talking nonsense along his own train of thought. Of course, there was no so-called evidence.

He didn't know whether this was the case or not. Just as he was thinking about what to do, a JING member from the identification department next to him suddenly said: "It's true. I don't believe that the victim is still alive. If nothing else, Just looking at the amount of blood left at the scene, one can tell that with such a large amount of bleeding, people would definitely be dead. "

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

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

"Look at you, say you don't understand." Linton said, "If my guess is correct, then such a large amount of bleeding is obviously problematic. If a person wants to live, it is impossible for him to bleed so much ”

"So, you said that the blood here may not be all human blood, or someone else's blood?" A Jing member next to him took over.

"Well... I don't think it should be that simple. Now that DNA testing is so simple, it's probably not a plan that's so easy to see through. It should be his own blood, but... it's probably drawn in advance, that is, prepared in advance..."

At this point, Linton paused: "But if it's prepared in advance, there will be a problem, that is, the blood will contain anticoagulant components. This kind of test should not be as routine as DNA testing. He just needs to delay it until the time when demons are rampant later."

"So he is betting that we can't think of checking the anticoagulant before this. Then I'm betting that there are anticoagulant components in his blood. If there are, is this ironclad evidence?" Linton said, pointing to the pool of blood on the ground.

This really stunned the people around him.

At first, it felt like Linton was talking nonsense, and it sounded unreliable. But how come he really sounded reliable as he talked?

This time, even Hasegawa Horihira was a little shaken, after all, what Linton said was too true.

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