The world was spinning, and another beautiful night had passed...

Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, an investigation meeting is held.

Shiratori Renzaburo reported his findings:

"According to our investigation, the seven victims, including Shindo Sumire, went to Kyoto on July 7th of the previous year."

Yokomizo Shigego rested his chin on one hand and analyzed:

"So the 'Tanabe' and 'Kyoto' the witnesses heard were referring to Tanabata and Kyoto."

"It can't be a coincidence that they chose this kind of day specifically," Bai Quanyi added indifferently.

"I've asked Shiratori to contact the detectives in Kyoto to help investigate what exactly happened to them in Kyoto."

Undercover Agent Ireland looked down at the documents in his hands. "The problem now lies with the message the prisoner left on the tiles, and the meaning of the tiles themselves. The only thing left to be painted red is the circle in the lower left corner of the Seven of Tongs."

Ogino Ayami added, "So, the serial killer must have another target."

"Come to think of it, today is July 7th..." Yamato Gansuke murmured in a low voice.

"That means there's a high possibility that the last person will be killed today!" Yamamura Cao felt like he had discovered a blind spot.

"But... who does he plan to kill, and where is he going to commit the crime?" Megure Jusan scratched his head.

Ireland was speechless. This group of detectives really knew nothing. He began to doubt the meaning of his undercover work. It seemed that he was really working for the Metropolitan Police Department.

"Huh?! I figured it out!"

At this moment, a tool man who had not spoken since the meeting started suddenly let out a strange cry.

Before everyone could cast inquiring glances.

Kogoro Mouri put down the documents and walked quickly to the whiteboard. He picked up a water-based pen and was about to connect the crime scene.

"Has Kogoro Mouri figured it out?" Shiraizumi Mashi looked at Kogoro Mouri in surprise.

In fact, after he entered the venue, he noticed the map hanging on the whiteboard and the seven circles on the map that were equal in shape to the North Star and the Big Dipper.

Of course, since only six of the Big Dipper's seven stars are marked, it is sometimes easy to fall into misconceptions if you don't ignore the North Star as an association.

However, Baiquan Yi really didn't expect that, besides him, the person who discovered this clue would be Maori Kogoro...

,

Maori Kogoro not only connected the North Star and the six Big Dippers together, but also said seriously:

"This is the Lake Ashi Monster, comparable to the Loch Ness Monster—Luxi!"

Lu, Luxi...

The atmosphere in the conference hall suddenly became quiet.

Seeing Kogoro Mouri making the movements of a drake climbing a tree, Megure Jusan almost tore the wound on his abdomen that had just been sutured.

Ireland:"……"

"Is there really such a legend?" Ogino Ayami walked forward and asked Shiraizumi Masu in a low voice.

"No," Bai Quanyi shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

"Yeah," Megure Jusan took a few breaths and said helplessly, "I didn't understand it either."

"But since it is Mr. Maori's reasoning, it may be unexpectedly unique..." Baiquanyi said lazily.

"What if I draw it like this?"

Kogoro Mouri immediately and considerately drew a triangular face for Matcha Lucy.

Everyone: "..."

Ireland rubbed his eyebrows and was about to tell Kogoro Maori to stop messing around and to say something more constructive even when reasoning.

·· ········Request flowers 0 ··

Before he could speak, Yamamura Cao asked, "Mr. Maori, why is it Luxi? It could also be Shanxi from Yamanaka Lake."

"Hehe, of course I have to draw an association from the shape of the lake!"

Kogoro Mouri chuckled twice, indicating that this little problem was not difficult for him at all.

Then, after a long explanation, he took Yamamura So directly to Annaka City in Gunma Prefecture to look for the so-called serial killer.

After watching the two of them leave the search meeting on their own, Ireland paused for a moment, and to avoid anyone bringing up the topic of 'Lu Xi' again, he quickly said:

"Superintendent Bai, what do you think?"

"I do have a suggestion." Bai Quanyi said lightly.

"Oh?"

Everyone looked at it together. After all, the highest-level person in charge here was Bai Quanyi.

....... ....... .......

"How about putting up another map?" Bai Quanyi pointed at the whiteboard and said, "Maybe we can find something else."

Ireland glanced sideways, staring. "Officer White, have you found any clues on the map?"

Baiquan Yiqu pointed at the documents on the table and said in a low and calm voice, "These mahjong tiles may represent elevators."

"elevator?"

Now, not only Ireland, but all the detectives present were pondering the connection between the two.

...The more I look at it, the more similar it seems, especially the black line in the middle.

"I'll call Officer Ayanokouji right away and tell him about this!"

Shiratori Renzaburo immediately took out his cell phone, dialed the number and reminded the other party to narrow the search range to buildings with elevators.

Then, everyone started discussing the meaning of English letters and triangles.

On this issue, Bai Quanyi once again returned to the state of just watching and not saying anything.

About half an hour later.

Officer Ayanokouji called and began to tell about what he had investigated.

"Did all seven victims stay in that hotel?"

Shiratori Renzaburo's face was serious. "Are there any other people besides them?"

"some."

Officer Ayanokouji said:

"Nanako Motogami, who died in the fire, was only 20 years old. She had a boyfriend named Kousuke Mizutani, who also came to investigate the fire a year ago..."

"That can't be wrong!"

Ireland slammed the table and said, "This serial murder case is definitely related to the fire two years ago. I'm afraid Miss Ben was kicked out of the elevator on the day of the fire, which is why she died!"

216. The Black Organization was wiped out

Megure Juzo immediately led his men to the Vega Hotel to investigate. They discovered that the hotel elevator had a capacity of seven people. The eighth occupant was Shuhei Jinno, who was on the first cylinder. The other six people were located in the elevator, each with a different red circle on the seventh cylinder. The last person was Nanako Motogami, who was originally inside the elevator but was ejected. The other six, fearing they would also be ejected, pretended not to notice. This was the murderer's motive...

The focus of the case suddenly shifted to Mizutani Hirosuke, and Shiraizumi Masu immediately ordered a wanted notice for Mizutani Hirosuke.

However, everyone was confused about where to capture Mizutani Kosuke.

Ayami Ogino is a very responsible policewoman. Although she has a lot of fun with Shiraizumi Masu in life, she is absolutely serious and diligent at work.

She asked, "Shiraizumi Masaru, where do you think Mizutani Kousuke will go?"

Bai Quanyi pointed at the computer screen and said, "I discovered that the seven murder scenes should represent the positions of the North Pole Star and the Big Dipper. Expanding on the map, the location corresponding to the last star, Tianxuan, should be Shiba Park in the port area..."

"You said the murderer dumped the bodies according to the positions of the stars?"

"It shouldn't be wrong."

……

9:30 p.m.

The wind blew, and dark clouds overhead covered the sky.

Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo.

When the police arrived here, tonight's Qixi Festival activities were already coming to an end.

Shiraizumi Masu did not go to Shiba Park in Minato Ward, Tokyo, but instead went to the Tokyo Tower with Ogino Ayami, where the serial killer was.

Dongdu Tower, the observation deck on the top floor.

Mizutani Kosuke was sipping a glass of red wine. The thick clouds outside the window were reflected in his slightly sad eyes, making it easy to guess what he was thinking.

“It’s very cloudy today…”

Bai Quanyi slowly walked out from the corner: "So I can't see that you still have the stars that Miss Nanako likes."

Mizutani Kosuke was startled, "Why are you here?"

Bai Quanyi said: "I am a new detective, catching criminals."

On the other side, it was Ogino Ayami: "Mizutani Kosuke, you can't escape."

Bai Quanyi looked at Mizutani Kosuke for a few seconds and said tentatively:

"It's a shame. We're standing so high up, but we can't see any stars."

"No," Mizutani Kosuke shook his head slightly, "I can see those stars anytime and anywhere."

This reaction, assuming he wasn't a vicious criminal, then... Baiquanyi had some guesses in his mind, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Mr. Mizutani, after drinking this wine, you plan to commit suicide, right?"

"Ok?"

Mizutani Kosuke's dark gray pupils dilated a lot, and he subconsciously withdrew his gaze from the sky and turned to look at the detective behind him.

Sure enough!

The key to his doubts is that Kosuke Mizutani, who loves stargazing, especially the North Star and the Big Dipper, deliberately chose a location that is proportional to the map to dispose of the body.

From this perspective, it is easy to find that the real murderer who carried out this murder plan is actually a rigid and stubborn person.

This is completely different from Kousuke Mizutani, who can't even write the name on the doorplate crookedly and can't zip up his pants completely.

Bai Quanyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and then based on these clues, he analyzed that the murderer who committed these seven murders was someone else, and Mizutani Kosuke was just a shield used by the other party to take the blame.

After hearing his reasoning, Benshang Heshu, who was hiding in the dark, finally couldn't help but come out.

same moment.

Ireland also entered the Toudou Tower. He had to quickly capture Mizutani Kousuke and force the tragic murderer to reveal the hidden location of the amulet he had taken from Okakura Masaaki. His goal was the memory card, and he wanted to use it to overthrow Gin and replace him.

Ireland sneered as he took the elevator to the observation deck.

At this moment, he looked into the lobby of the observation tower and said, "Oh no! Shiraizumi Masushi and Ogino Ayami are here first."

Even though Ireland heard the noise, he did not show up, but immediately stopped to understand the situation.

"Mr. Mizutani, Nanako did die because of those seven people. However, she died for others, willingly giving up her seat in the elevator. There's a world of difference between you and Mr. Motogami, who took the blame!"

Bai Quanyi's harsh voice reached his ears.

Ireland hid in the shadows, peering out silently.

Shiraizumi Masushi, Ogino Ayami, Mizutani Kousuke, and Motogami Nanako's brother... Motogami Kazuki.

Shocked by the truth, Mizutani Kosuke, after a fierce mental struggle, suddenly turned his head to look at the deep night outside the window, took out a drawstring bag and handed it to Motokami Kazuki: "I'm sorry, I still won't commit suicide. I decided to listen to the police officer and confess the truth. Brother...you should surrender too!"

Motokami Kazuki: "..."

"Inside that should be the things you took from the seven victims. Let Mr. Mizutani commit suicide with them, and then he will be confirmed as the real murderer!"

Bai Quanyi said.

"Haha...hahaha, hahahaha! As expected, I came to the right place..."

Motokazuki snatched the drawstring bag that Ireland was targeting and sneered:
