To me it's clear that Jesus Christ makes a clear distinction between what He was saying in the NT and what was said in the OT, hence the word "said".
What do you think about my finding?

Could Jesus say "In book X, chapter Y and verse 7.........?
No!
Chapter and verses came later, a lot later.
A person in Jesus time would reference something that we would later call the Old Testament by saying
such expressions as "You have heard it said "and those listening that he was referencing something
mentioned in what would later be called the Old Testament.
His audiences were aware of the scriptures and were aware of who inspired the scriptures.
There was no reason to recite and rehash this information: it was already a given.
