The name of the chapter "The Mark of the Witch" or "Witch's Mark" depending on the translation, seems to be a reference to the Devil's Marks used by Matthew Hopkins to "find" witches. The events from the chapter fit his modus operandi, the mole being a supernatural mark, as well as testing it to see if said mark was subjectable to pain and the spring-loaded needle for the scam. The mangaka clearly did his research for this series.

One of the sources she linked in the description.

"Much of Matthew Hopkins theories of deduction were based on Devils Marks. A wart or mole or even a flea-bite he took to be a Devils Mark and he used his ‘jabbing needle’ to see if these marks were insensitive to pain. His ‘needle’ was a 3 inch long spike which retracted into the spring-loaded handle so the unfortunate woman never felt any pain."
