During the disassembly process, the white bird, feeling a magnetic force, immediately spoke up to explain the special features of the painting.

After hearing this, everyone's faces couldn't help but grim.

After all, compared to paintings hung on the wall with nails, this kind of painting fixed on the wall with a magnet about half a meter high should be difficult to fall down.

But now it's the other way around...

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but look at the painting lying on the ground.

The painting had been on the wall for a long time, so Shiratori and the assistant prosecutor simply placed it upside down on the ground.

"There's blood."

Tang Ze's insight was as sharp as ever. Even without activating his super sense of smell, he could still see a dry black mark in the gap at the edge of the picture frame.

"But this is too strange, isn't it?" Maori Kogoro, who was standing by, couldn't help but wonder after hearing what Karasawa said. "If there were bloodstains on the front of the painting, it would be fine, but how could there be bloodstains on the back?" ... "If someone touched the painting with a bloody hand, wouldn't it be strange to get bloodstains on the back?"

Tang Ze squatted down and found the disassembly part of the picture frame, and removed the baffle that fixed the painting.

After the outermost baffle is removed, the interior is not directly the painting, but is fixed with a wooden cross.

This is to prevent the painting from being too large and shifting downwards if left for too long without internal support.

And within the small space formed by the cross, there is a stack of information placed underneath.

"This is...!"

After seeing the document, Kujo Reiko squatted down and picked it up to examine it in detail: "This is the IOU and bill, as well as the loan agreement!"

"I see. So, the picture frame is being used as a hidden safe."

Maori Kogoro saw this and suddenly said, "It makes sense that there are blood stains on the back edge of the frame."

"Perhaps this case is related to these IOUs." Tang Ze looked at Kujo Reiko and said, "Let's see who borrowed the money."

Kujo Reiko nodded when she heard this. When she turned to the second page, her eyes narrowed unconsciously: "This is..."

"The IOU for three million, and the borrower is actually Iwamatsu Toshio!?" Shiratori couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise when he saw the signatory on the IOU.

"Eh!?" Kobayashi Sumiko was stunned for a moment, then immediately shocked: "Isn't that the name of the defendant from before?"

Kujo Reiko looked at the IOU in front of her with a sharp look in her eyes: "If the defendant's original purpose of sneaking into the mansion was to get this IOU..."

"This is truly remarkable evidence."

Although Tang Ze had a serious expression, he looked at Kobayashi Sumiko after a moment and said with a smile, "When the second trial comes, Teacher Kobayashi, you will be the hero of this case.

Those who doubt you will be slapped in the face by you."

"How could it be..." Kobayashi Sumiko said shyly after hearing Tang Ze's words: "I didn't do anything. It just happened that the principal's office had that painting."

"No need to be modest."

Tang Ze smiled and said, "It's your credit. You can find things that we can't find. In addition to daily accumulation and knowledge, careful observation is the key.

Otherwise, even if you know the painting is hung upside down, but you don’t notice or care, we won’t be able to discover the secret hidden behind the painting.”

Of course, this is a bit exaggerated. After all, although Tang Ze does not use his super sense of smell on a daily basis, he will still turn on his super sense of smell when encountering situations or searching.

Even if Kobayashi Sumiko is not here this time, Tang Ze will still be able to find the evidence when he activates his super sense of smell.

"Detective Tang Ze, you're exaggerating." Kobayashi Sumiko was also self-aware: "Even without my warning, you would have definitely noticed it."

"Okay, enough about mutual modesty."

Seeing that the two were going on with their pleasantries, Bai Niao, who was standing by, took the initiative to end the topic and said, "That's right, isn't it?"

"As for this president, he doesn't seem that honest."

Kogoro Mouri folded his arms and looked at the stack of loans and said, "In addition to his own real estate company, the other party seems to be secretly running a lucrative business such as loan sharking."... "Mr. Tsukano, do you know about these things?" After Kujo Reiko stood up, she immediately looked at Tsukano Hiroshi, who had a close relationship with the deceased, and questioned him.

Upon hearing this, Tsukano Hiroshi quickly shook his head and explained, "The president has never mentioned these things, let alone anything related to the loan."

"Well, that's true. After all, it's an illegal activity, so it has to be kept secret." Kogoro Mouri agreed.

"Please take him to the next room and explain the specific situation in detail." Kujo Reiko said to her assistant.

Kujo Reiko took the initiative to take the person away, but Tang Ze and others did not try to stop her, because this was just a somewhat far-fetched excuse to get rid of the other party.

After all, Tsukano Hiroshi has already stated that he doesn't know, so even if you continue to ask, you probably won't get any answers.

The reason why the assistant was asked to take her away was mainly to avoid the pressure and concerns that Tsukano Hiroshi's presence would put on the other party when questioning Hara Yukie, so he was sent away.

After all, the other party is the younger brother of the deceased's wife, and no one knows whether there is any conflict of interest between the two.

Of course, no one knows whether Tsukano Hiroyuki will affect Hara Yukie's answer, but from this small matter, we can also see Kujo Reiko's meticulousness.

After all, this is just a possibility, but Reiko Kujo thought of this and killed this possibility in advance.
