That would be one hell of a twist.
It would be, and I have a theory on the Crime Coefficient that might make it possible.

We don't really know what precisely it is that the CC is a measurement of.

But Monir raising the "lie detector test" made me think that what the CC is measuring might be simple guilt (or at least a person's guilt factors in considerably into the score). It's just quantifying precisely how guilty people feel about themselves and/or their actions.

But what if you run into a criminal that's completely amoral, and hence feels no guilt over his or her actions? Or what if you run into a criminal that believes that his end goals justify the means, and hence while he recognizes some of the means are harmful to other people, he doesn't feel guilty over them?

One or both of the above may well apply to Makishim.
