The next day, afternoon.

Metropolitan Police Department, search a lesson.

Today Shinji was called to the police station by the Megure police station.

Not only Shinji was called over.

Anyone who has been to the Twin Towers a few days ago was called by Police Officer Megure.

The reason is that the city councilor Oki Iwamatsu was killed.

Officer Megure needs to ask about the situation of the people in the double skyscraper at the time.

So Sonoko, Xiaolan, and Mouri Kogorou all came to the Metropolitan Police Department, except for Haibara of course.

In the reception room.

Chiba and Takagi are pouring tea for Shinji and others.

At this moment, the door of the reception room opened, and Officer Megure and Officer Shiratori walked in.

"I'm really sorry, I called you here after school." Officer Megure apologized.

"It's okay, Officer Megure, I have nothing to do anyway, Xiaolan doesn't have to go to the karate club today."

"And it's the first time I've come to the Metropolitan Police Department, so I just came to have a look." Sonoko said with a smile.

"Yes! Officer Megure." Xiao Lan said.

"Police Officer Megure, you don't have to be polite with us. If you want to ask, please tell me directly!" Mouri Kogorou said.

Upon hearing this, Officer Megure smiled and said, "Then I will trouble you all today."

"I called everyone here today just for the case of Nishitama City Councillor, Oki Iwamatsu."

Upon hearing this, Mouri Kogorou wondered: "Oki Iwamatsu? What's wrong with this person?"

"He died, in a suite in Building B of the Twin Towers skyscraper in Nishitama City."

"What?" everyone exclaimed.

This person just met the day before yesterday, and he died like this, which really surprised them.

"Shiratori, take out the photo."

Hearing what Police Officer Megure said, Shiratori took out a stack of photos from the cowhide bag.

A photo of Damu Yansong.

There are also photos of Mio Tokiwa, Yoshiaki Hara, Minami Kazuki, Hidehiko Kazama, and Secretary Sawaguchi.

All were posted on the whiteboard in the meeting room.

"Yes, Damu Yansong is dead, he was killed by someone."

"The time of death was between ten o'clock the night before and midnight in the morning."

"The murder weapon may be a knife, but it was not found at the scene."

"But in Ogi Iwamatsu's hand, he still held a small wine glass that was split in two." Officer Megure explained.

At the same time, Officer Shiratori took out an evidence bag from the box.

Inside is a small wine glass that is divided into two.

"This small wine glass is a high-priced item, and Oki loves drinking."

"It's probably brought along with Japanese sake."

"However, according to our analysis, it is also possible that the murderer deliberately left messages suggesting his identity."

"The police believe that the murderer may be among these five, of course."

"And the murderer is most likely Yuan Jiaming." Officer Megure pointed to Yuan Jiaming in the photo and said.

Upon hearing this, Shinji murmured in his heart: "The murderer is obviously the old man, why do you think it is Hara Ming?"

"Why does Officer Megure think that Hara Ming is the murderer?" Shinji asked.

Officer Megure looked at Shinji and said, "According to our police investigation."

"Yuan Jiaming lost contact yesterday."

"No one can contact him, there is no one in the residence, and we also found that his wallet, existence, and seals were all gone."

"And today was originally a day at work, Yuan Jiaming didn't go to work either."

"So we suspect that Yuan Jiaming ran away with the money after killing Omu Yansong."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence. He lost contact just after Oki Iwamatsu was killed." Officer Megure said with a serious face.

Hearing Officer Megure's explanation, Shinji also thinks Yuan Jiaming is the murderer.

But he knew that Yuan Jiaming lost contact because he was taken to Neon Police by Furuya Rei, so he lost contact with the outside world.

It was also because of Yuan Jiaming's sudden disappearance that Officer Megure thought of all this.

"It's me who put Yuan Jiaming on the back of a murderer!" Shinji thought to himself.

"Officer Megure, isn't there a surveillance camera in Building B?" Shinji asked.

There should be monitors installed in places like this, unless Mio Tokiwa is reluctant to pay for it.

"There are monitors, but Building B has not opened for business, so the monitors were not turned on, and the murderer was not photographed." Officer Megure explained.

Hearing this, Shinji covered his head.

"That's it. The monitor isn't on."

Then, Shinji asked again, "Can you show me the photo of Ogi Iwasong when he died?"

The photo on the whiteboard is just an ordinary photo, not a photo after the death of Damuyanpine.

Officer Megure nodded and pulled out a photo.

This photo was taken by the forensic staff after the death of Damu Yansong.

"Kid Shinji, let me take a look too." Mouri Kogorou stuck his head over.

The big wood rock pine in the photo died leaning against the cabinet.

The blood on the cabinet is quite unnatural.

Shinji put the photo on the table, pointed to the unnatural blood, and said, "Sergeant Megure, look here."

Officer Megure looked at where Shinji was pointing.

But he found nothing.

"Is there something wrong with the photo?"

"Here, don't you think this is weird?"

"There's blood here, but there's no blood right above him."

"I feel like there should be something hanging here, and the blood splattered on it, and then the murderer took the thing hanging on it, so the blood splattered looks unnatural," Shinji explained.

Hearing what Shinji said, Officer Megure and others felt that this place was really unnatural.

"You said that there are things hanging on it, and the things that can be hung on the cabinet are... paintings!"

"Could it be that there used to be a painting on it?" Inspector Megure said with wide eyes.

"I'm not sure if it's a painting, but if you ask Tokiwa Mio, you'll probably know what's hanging on the cabinet."

"Shiratori, immediately call Tokiwa Mio and ask if there was a painting on the cabinet?"

"I'll call right away."

Soon, Shiratori called Tokiwa Mio.

On the phone, Tokiwa Mio confirmed that there was a painting hanging on the cabinet, a painting like Yuefengshui.

"I see." Mouri Kogorou clapped his palms and said, "The murderer must be a fan of Mr. Ruyuefengshui's paintings, otherwise the murderer could not have taken away Mr. Ruyuefengshui's paintings."

"It must be so!"

Shinji looked at Mouri Kogorou speechlessly.

"You are a real dish!"

"No, the murderer is not a painting fan of Ruyuefengshui."

"It's like Moon Peak Water!" Shinji affirmed.

"What?" everyone exclaimed.

Looking at the confused look of the crowd, Shinji explained, "What do you think this upside-down wine glass looks like?"

Hearing this, everyone began to think hard.

Then, Shiratori seemed to think of something and exclaimed, "Mt. Fuji."

"The upside down shot glass is like Mount Fuji."

"And Ruyuefengshui teacher is specializing in painting Mount Fuji."

"So it is possible that he took back his paintings after killing Damu Yansong."

"Yes!" Shinji nodded. "The upside-down shot glass is very similar to Mount Fuji."

"But what does it mean that the shot glass is split in two?" Shiratori asked.

"After you go to Ruyuefengshui's studio, you will know why the wine glass is divided into two.".
