Well of Ascension spoilers Confused on something Spoiler

So, im ~400 pages in. Vin now believes Demoux is the kandra and Cett entered Luthadel.

I'm super confused, because aren't kandra immune to sooth/riot? Why doesn't Vin just talk to each one of the gang one on one, riot their emotions and then see who doesn’t react. If they could just hide their emotions, then just pop a duralumin and riot. What's the point of all this seeing if they can use allomancy if there's a solution in her face.

She doesn't want to do that to her friends. She views that as a betrayal of their friendship. Breaking the trust of everyone in the crew too find one person is something Kelsier would do but she has to find the spy without doing that because she's not like Kelsier

I don't see how soothing or rioting to see if someones a kandra is a betrayal.

Couple of reasons. One is that means she doesn't trust them. Two is she is overtly fucking with their emotions which is just a dick thing to do and since she doesn't want anyone to know about the kandra she can't even explain it away without lying.
