The handprints that remained on Nightingale's neck were not clear, and Issa rightfully questioned them, and her mind was not entirely led away by Howlen.

Hodden didn't mind, but smiled, "Because the duration of the pain is different." You can try pinching your own neck, because of the suffocating sensation of not being able to breathe, your survival instinct will cry for help, and your nerves will instinctively loosen your muscles and you won't be able to push harder. ”

"But eye-gouging is a different story. Hodden said, poking his fingers into his eyes, so much so that both Director Zvi and Julian exclaimed, which made Howlen chuckle, "This is a one-time thing, as long as you make up your mind, you can do it quickly." ”

Issa bowed her head slightly, she could understand Howlen's reasoning.

Pasia, who was standing at the door, couldn't understand, so he really grabbed his neck with both hands, only a little harder, and then let go directly, coughing violently, the noisy sound made everyone cast their eyes, Pacia hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he was fine.

In fact, Nightingale's pinching of himself should not be light, but the reason why he did not leave traces is mainly because he soon faced the crisis of excessive blood loss, and those scars were not able to form enough bruises, coupled with the cover of blood stains, so now the handprints are not obvious. ”

Hoden explained further.

Issa didn't express any more doubts this time, "You just said four pieces of evidence, so what about another?" So far, none of the evidence has been scientifically verified, it is just Holden's reasoning, she is willing to believe it, but Director Zvi standing next to him is not necessarily willing to believe it, this is the problem.

So they need more evidence.

Hodden didn't pause, and replied directly, "The last piece of evidence, we can also complete the reverse extrapolation from the follow-up actions, and then depict the scene." ”

"Why did Nightingale gouge out or 'be' eyeballs?"

"If there was a murderer at the scene, then why did the murderer torture Nightingale for so long?

"A place where everyone can hear sounds, a place where you can expose yourself at any moment, a place where you can be interrupted at any time. What if they are discovered? What should the murderer do? Flee or kill them en masse?"

"And yet, Nightingale's next-door neighbors all survived, and no one noticed the anomaly?"

"What's more, Nightingale didn't let out a terrible scream when she gouged out her eyeballs, so what was the reason for that?"

"There may be a lot, and we still need more clues to rule out different possibilities, but the act of autonomy is the most likely explanation, and at the same time the most plausible explanation based on the evidence on the ground. ”

Holden is still Holden, giving the most reliable inference based on limited clues, but still retaining other possibilities.

But at this moment, in the midst of the fragments of the sea of blood, Holden's calmness was more like cold-bloodedness, and even Julian couldn't help but step back a little and distance himself.

Issa was probably the only one on the scene who could keep up with Howlen's speed of thinking, "but why would he do this to himself?"

"Motivation. There's still a lot I haven't figured out enough to fully explain, but remember what I guessed at first?"

Holden didn't sell it, and after asking questions, he immediately completed it.

"He was met with a fearful threat. But now, there is no way to decipher this threat for the time being, it could be a murderer, or it could be a hallucination. Let's leave this question in mind for now, starting with Nightingale's death. ”

"Puzzles, after all, will pay to the surface. ”

Hodden smiled and looked around, and then Issa understood, "You're saying that regardless of whether the threat at the scene is the real killer or something, it's Nightingale herself who does it in the end?"

"Yes, that's what it means. Hoden nodded in the affirmative.

Immediately afterward, Holden went on to explain, "After gouging out the eyeball, Nightingale fell into extreme pain and fear, and he fell into complete madness. ”

"At this point, you can see the marks left on the walls and even on the ceiling, the rough marks left by Nightingale after he went mad. Some were made with props, and some were done by his own body impact. ”

"Notice that there are some footprints and handprints left on the ceiling, which will need to be compared next, but I strongly suspect that Nightingale himself left them. This also means that Nightingale's death must have been intervened by abnormal forces. ”

Everyone looked up at the ceiling, but there were more and more question marks, and it was impossible to imagine how Nightingale had left a mark on the top of his head, could it be that he climbed up with his hands and feet like a spider?

But how exactly is that done?

Brain-made up the picture, and then looked down at Nightingale's broken corpse, the chilling sensation made the surface of the skin begin to faintly hair, and I couldn't help but slap my arm and shake those goosebumps, but it always lingered.

"You mean, psionics?" Isa asked cautiously.

Hodden smiled, but didn't respond, neither affirmed nor denied, but continued, "Next is the last key. ”

"Even after the eyeball was gouged out, the threat didn't go away. That's why I don't think there's anyone else at the scene - how can Nightingale tell that the murderer is still at the scene when he can't see it? ”

At this point, Hoden paused slightly, waiting for the others to respond, and both Pascia and Issa tried to open their mouths, but the speculation that came to their mouths was not very reliable, so they swallowed again, and finally there was no sound in the audience, and even the sound of breathing had disappeared.

Hodden then continued.

"After Nightingale lost his sight, he was still able to perceive the threat, either because his five senses were so well developed that his ears and nose could sense the presence of the murderer, or ...... It is the threat that exists in his brain consciousness, vision is the first way to appear, when the vision is cut off, he can still feel the threat in his mind, or even another kind of 'seeing', so he is forced into a desperate situation. ”

In desperation, he decided to dissect his body. ”

Before Holden could finish his words, there was a low cry from the scene, and then Julian's trembling voice could be heard, "But, why?"

"What would you do if you noticed a bug under your skin?" Hodden didn't answer directly, but asked a question.

Everyone was stunned - the picture of such a phenomenon was still a bit ahead of their time, and the feeling at this time had exceeded the range of stomach discomfort, and the whole body began to feel uncomfortable, and they always felt that their skin began to itch.
