Chapter 639 638. Detective Reasoning

at the same time.

   in the room where Byron was being held.

   Stone looked at the desolate charlatan in front of him and was thinking about a question.

   That's why the internal organs of Gothe's corpse found in [Summer Record] will point to Byron.

  Obviously, after Lu Kian's inspection, there was no Gothe's body fragment in Byron's body, and he should not be the one who ate Gothe's internal organs.

   So what is the problem?

   Stone didn't know the investigation status of Lu Bian and Shia. He took a sip of wine and watched the storm outside the window getting stronger and stronger. Due to the long-term erosion, the soil was lost, and some trees were directly washed away by their roots and staggered.

  Those trees piled up, blocking the road and making the way up the mountain even more difficult.

   Seeing this scene, a little inspiration suddenly appeared in Stone's mind.

   Obviously, Byron was not the one who killed Gothe, at least not the one who devoured Gothe's viscera. In the case of believing that Stone's own [Summer Record] will not go wrong, there is only one explanation.

   Gothe's internal organs and Byron are the same thing.

   Stone thought he might be crazy when he thought of this possibility.

  Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for Stone to think of such a development, but now, after going through this, his idea has grown stronger and has even taken over the mainstream.

  Stone glanced at Byron, the man was staring at the clock in a daze, and didn't even notice Stone's gaze.

Once the spark of   Stone's thinking emerges, it is difficult to contain.

   He quickly thought of his answer.

   The reason why Gothe's internal organs point to Byron is because Byron is Gothe's internal organs.

   Or if you think about it from another angle, Gothe is Byron.

   This may sound outrageous and incredible, but in an exotic context, it makes perfect sense.

   Both Gothe and Byron are one.

  Gothe is Byron, and Byron is Gothe.

   They are all part of the silt monster.

  Since a silt monster can mimic a human, he can mimic two people.

  Gothe and Byron are humans imitated by silt monsters.

   This is why Stone's [Summer Reappearance] will find Byron's hideout when tracking Gothe.

  The two of them were originally one.

  Thinking of this, Stone suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

   He is now in the same room with this silt monster.

   For the power of silt monsters, Stone is very clear, and it can even be said that no one understands what these monsters can do better than him.

   Ten years ago, he witnessed these monsters burrowing into the human body, causing a glass flower to bloom from their internal organs, and all this, just the monster's gaze.

  Although Stone knows how to get along with these monsters and avoid their damage, this does not make them less dangerous.

"What's up?"

   Byron asked suddenly, he looked away from the swinging pendulum and turned to Stone.

   "I thought of something."

  Stone turned his head calmly and looked at Byron.

   "Do you know how detectives handle cases?"

   "How could I possibly know, sir, I'm just a wanderer."

  Byron frowned slightly, indicating that he was not sure.

   "A detective must first believe."

  Stone said solemnly.

   "Believe? Isn't it suspicious?"

  Byron felt strange, he asked curiously.

   "If you choose to doubt, then all people and things are doubtful, all evidence and testimony can be overturned, and the world's affairs will no longer be true, and the investigation will never be able to proceed normally."

   Stone said, putting both hands on the table to give Byron a sense of security.

   "So, the first step in the investigation is to believe, believe the testimony of each witness, agree with each piece of evidence, and use these evidence and testimony to start the restoration of the case."

   "But won't there be a contradiction?"

   Byron questioned.

   "That's the point."

   Stone replied.

   "When all the testimonies and evidences are combined to produce contradictions, we can find suspicious targets. We investigate these contradictions and we can know who is lying."

   "Good way."

   Byron couldn't help saying.

"Yeah, so, I asked Mr. Butler before, and he said that no vehicle has ever arrived at the Rainstorm Villa during this period of time. We assume that what he said is true, then during this period of time, except for us , no one else will come here by car."

   Stone said slowly.

"But according to what you said, Mr. Byron, you fell asleep on the way here and woke up to find yourself in a wine barrel, and Mr. Gothe arrived one step before you, then there must be a car carrying You entered this Rainstorm Villa and contradicted the testimony of Mr. Butler."

   "You, are you saying that I lied to you?"

   Byron was suddenly a little nervous, he shrank his hands, looking very cramped.

   "But according to my investigation, you didn't lie. There was indeed a car that took you in, and you were indeed put in a wine barrel and were not released until we found out."

   Stone looked at Byron.

   "This is where the contradiction lies."

   "Mr. Detective, I'm not lying, really, I don't know anything."

  Byron leaned back, which was a subconscious action to avoid danger.

   "I don't think either you or Mr. Butler lied."

   Stone mused.

   "It's just that there are some deviations in the middle."

  Byron looked confused.

   "Simply put, you did go here at the invitation of Gothe, and you did come by car and lost consciousness halfway through, but it wasn't these days."

   Stone explained.

"You were seen by Gothe a long time ago. As the material for this ceremony, I don't know why he saw you. Maybe it was because you came into contact with Daoist Heming's writings, or for other reasons. You made up a reason for you to come here to conduct a spiritual ceremony, and then on the way, you lost consciousness, you were locked in wine barrels, stored in underground wine cellars, until now."

   "How long has it been in between, I'm not very sure. According to the arrangement of all this, it is even possible that when the mansion was sold to Browning, you were already locked in the underground wine cellar."

   Hearing what Stone said, Byron was even more puzzled. If it was really like what Stone said, then he should have starved to death long ago!

   "That's right."

  Stone saw Byron's doubts, and he quickly explained.

   "Because you are no longer human."

   He connected everything.

  When Byron was unconscious, he had been swallowed by the silt monster, and his soul and memory had been absorbed, and the culprit of all this was Gothe himself.

  When "Gothe" was fatally injured, in order to hide himself, the silt monster activated Byron's consciousness in the wine barrel, pretending to know nothing and hiding in Gothe's subconscious.

   Obviously, because "God" needs to hide something.

  What is he hiding?

   When Stone was thinking about this, a thunderstorm struck. He saw that the expression on Byron's face was constantly changing. After being frightened and confused, it finally turned into numbness and indifference.

   His eyes were lost, like a broken doll.

   "Ah woo. Ah. qua."

   From Byron's throat, a sound like a burst of bubbles echoed.
