One of the most fascinating aspects of Kyokou Suiri is the innovative use of Xu Gou Tui Li, a fictional Chinese term that roughly translates to "inverse inference" or "retroactive reasoning." This concept, invented by the series' author, refers to Kyoko's remarkable ability to work backward from a conclusion to deduce the facts and circumstances surrounding a case. Xu Gou Tui Li has become a hallmark of the series, allowing Kyoko to solve seemingly impossible cases and leaving readers in awe of her intellectual prowess.

While Kotoko spins her intricate webs of "invented inference," Kuro handles the physical and temporal consequences.
