[Q. Why is Deduction Necessary?]

During an intermission, I crouched in a corner and conversed with the Mad Wizard.

He remained shrouded in darkness, even though we weren’t in the midst of a battle. Was he perhaps preparing in case “Goat” revealed his true nature? Maybe he intended to kill him outright?

Anyway, a question came to mind.

The Mad Wizard could forcibly prevent lying, and he claimed to be peering into their inner thoughts. So why was deduction necessary?

Couldn’t he just make them declare, “I am the culprit,” once and be done with it?

I asked him bluntly.
