Within the context of these arcs being mystery stories on their own, they do need a culprit, and a motive for these crimes.

It's entirely possible that on Rokkenjima Prime there is simply no culprit.
Except, you see, on either side of the spectrum he would be reusing the plot like you say. Whether it be the supernatural aspect or the tragic twins aspect. Even the sin could be rehash. Therefore you have no point.

IMO scapegoating isn't as convoluted since his stories have a theme of supernatural means vs human means. One could expect that trope to be consistent with his writing style instead of being directly lifted.
