Chapter 268: Chapter 235: Astonishing Deduction_2

"But, in the process of mating, it was discovered by this family, seen, so it became very shy, very embarrassed, and in a moment of impulse started eating people. After eating people, it felt immense regret, afraid that it would have to spend the rest of its life in jail, so it tried to pass off as human by writing those bloodstained words, thinking this way it could escape its guilt, after all, no one would normally consider that a cat could do all of this, right? This seems quite logical to me."

[?????????????]

Don’t ask why the barrage is just question marks, what else could they send besides question marks?

"This..."

The police officer seemed like he wanted to say something more, but before he could, Hele stopped him.

"Enough! Shut up!" Hele, holding his forehead with a pained expression, said, "Why did you continue his line of thought? Didn’t that just give him the opportunity?"

Hele looked towards Xiao Yi, his tone filled with a touch of helplessness.

"Is this what you call deduction?"

"Absolutely!" Xiao Yi nodded confidently: "It has to be that cat’s doing! My suggestion is to quickly catch that cat and cook it! An eye for an eye! It ate the family, and now I eat it, wouldn’t that be as if the family never died?"

[Shouldn’t that be equivalent to you eating the family?]

Hele shook his head in disappointment and asked, "Then, according to your reasoning, why are the family still neatly seated at the dining table? If they saw a beast, wouldn’t they run? Or are you trying to say, the cat also neatly arranged their bodies and cleaned up the crime scene?"

"This..." Xiao Yi fell into thought once again.

Indeed, no matter what, it was just a cat, after all, lacking the intelligence of a human, incapable of doing anything too complex.

But then, Xiao Yi had a flash of inspiration!

"That’s it!" Xiao Yi said excitedly: "I got it! Someone must have used hypnotic gas!"

"...Ah?" Hele couldn’t help but think, how can this kid still come up with such ideas?

Then, Xiao Yi laid out his reasoning:

"It must be that someone released hypnotic gas before letting the cat in to eat people. The people were all knocked out, naturally they wouldn’t run from the beast and just let it feast on them. The cat is not the murderer, but the murder weapon!

Continually eliminate the possibilities, and whatever is left must be the truth! Therefore, it must be someone with access to hypnotic gas who committed the crime! And generally, those who have such things are surely doctors! Plus, criminals often have the trait of returning to the crime scene, hence I deduce! The murderer must be a doctor who is still at the scene!"

Carl: "...Ah?"

"..." Looking at Xiao Yi’s determined expression, Hele’s stern face twitched uncontrollably.

"Seeing your face, you don’t believe my deduction, huh." Xiao Yi said: "That can’t be helped, after all, your cognitive abilities are not as keen as mine. But you have to realize that for such complicated cases, you must abandon human logic and resort to a completely different set of reasoning, or perhaps no reasoning at all, in order to reach the actual truth. After all, reality does not have to adhere to logic, so it often exceeds human imagination."

"Let’s put aside those deductions of yours for a moment, your last statement does seem reasonable." Hele sighed, "Indeed, a fine piece of deduction, I initially had some expectations of you. Now, it seems... I was mistaken. Enough, get them out of here."

And so, Xiao Yi and Carl were sent out.

"Hmm..." Outside the door, Xiao Yi touched his chin, with a helpless look, "It seems like the lack of evidence is why they don’t believe my deduction, right? There’s really no helping it, without evidence, it’s indeed tough to convince people."

"...I don’t think it’s a matter of evidence." Carl said with a twitching smile.

"But then again, even if I don’t have evidence, my deduction is infinitely close to the truth, right!" Xiao Yi gritted his teeth and said: "But he doesn’t believe a bit of it! He really lacks any sort of logical thinking! No wonder he believes in all that supernatural stuff! Serves him right to wander for a lifetime amidst unsolvable puzzles!"

"..." What could Carl say? He could only remain silent.

Unlike before, Xiao Yi’s talent was tightly constrained by the rules in this instance, completely unable to interfere with others’ cognition.

Therefore, his mystical logic and deductive reasoning were exposed in their true form, bound to be denied by others.

However, even when denied by others, Xiao Yi himself failed to realize one thing, that what he took as fact, and what he denied, had no significant difference.

As Hele had said... it was even more outrageous than the Evil God committing murder.

"Sorry, Xiao Yi..." Carl suddenly said, "We couldn’t get the medicine from the Glor family, so it seems you’ve made a wasted trip."

"Ah, that..."

Xiao Yi then remembered that he and Carl had gone there to seek medicine, but he had completely forgotten about it since he was absorbed in solving the puzzle.

Nevertheless, Xiao Yi noticed that just when they planned to visit and ask for the medicine, the entire family was murdered in such an abnormal manner, making it hard to believe it was a coincidence.

Could it be that someone intentionally prevented them from getting the medicine?

"But no worries," Carl said again, "I won’t let your trip be a total waste. Even though the villa is sealed and we’re unlikely to get in again, I’ll find a way to get the medicine. I haven’t been here all this time for nothing... just give me a little more time, I’ll definitely cure your hallucinations!"

"Ah, um... huh? Hallucinations?"

Upon hearing the word hallucinations, Xiao Yi suddenly recalled something else.

That was... what the gentleman had mentioned.

Was what he experienced yesterday a hallucination... The person who could answer that question was right in front of him.

So, Xiao Yi, for once, took on a serious expression and looked at Carl.

"Hmm? What’s wrong?" Carl noticed Xiao Yi’s gaze and asked.

"Carl..." Xiao Yi said, "I went to the gentleman’s place today."

"Oh, you went there, huh? So... how is that fellow?"

"...He said, he did indeed go to the port to meet me because you told him to. He also said... what you told me yesterday... that I arrived earlier than scheduled, and that it could all be a hallucination if the gentleman was already dead."

"...Eh?" Carl was also taken aback, then he asked Xiao Yi, "Xiao Yi, what are you talking about? Yesterday? The gentleman dead? When did I say these things? No, what exactly did that guy tell you? I remember you said you wanted to go check on the gentleman, to see if he was making that poor mother and daughter do menial and tiring work, right?"

"...Eh?"

Xiao Yi finally knew the answer to his question, but his thoughts became even more confused.

More doubts surged toward him.

"When did I talk to you about a mother and daughter?"

"Last night, when we were talking about the gentleman, didn’t you mention a mother and daughter whose names you couldn’t even remember?" Carl noticed Xiao Yi’s condition and asked urgently, "Xiao Yi, what’s wrong?"

... Xiao Yi could only feel that the world before his eyes had suddenly become unfamiliar.

Not only others, even Xiao Yi himself was unsure of what he had done.
