The screams that filled the entire teahouse suddenly sobered up Kogoro Mouri, who was drunk just a second ago. He stood up suddenly and ran downstairs following the screams. Soon he saw Yamakura Tae sitting in fear at the door.

He didn't bother to say a few words of comfort. He quickly walked into the house and saw the body of Sakura Masazo and Sosuke Takashi who had put on gloves and started to examine the victim's body.

"Officer Takashi, Mr. Sakura..."

"The victim's carotid artery was severed with a sharp weapon. The technique was very clean and neat. It can be seen that the murderer has a certain understanding of the human body structure." Fujiwara Yu replied with a calm face. He did not expect that the murderer would kill people under his nose. It was his biggest mistake that he did not notice it.

Hattori Heiji squatted down and checked the contents of his wallet. After confirming that nothing was missing, he said:

"It seems Mr. Ying was not robbed. His bank cards and cash were untouched, and the scene was very messy. I feel like either the murderer was searching for something, or Mr. Ying was looking for something."

Fujiwara Yuu searched the victim's body and found the key. He had a plan in mind. If he was not mistaken, the murderer of Sakura Masazo was the mysterious helmeted man in this serial murder case.

Then Sakura Masazō might not be a simple antique art dealer, but a member of the thief group Genji Hotaru.

If you want to confirm your guess, you can only go to his shop or house to take a look.

Kogoro Mouri fell into deep thought as he looked at the body of Sakura Masazo. The reason he accepted the invitation and came here was because he suspected that there were members of the thief group Genji Hotaru among them.

Now that someone is dead, does that mean there is still a murderer among them?

He thought that the murderer was someone who was good at archery and kendo, and he turned around and looked at Chiha Suzu who was comforting Yamakura Tae. Could it be that she really did it?

"Officer Ying Si, I didn't expect we would meet again."

Fujiwara Yuu didn't need to turn around to know that the person coming was Kyoto Prefectural Police Officer Ayanokouji Fumimaro. His gorgeous Kyoto accent was so unique. He took out the key he had found and said calmly:

"Officer Ayanokouji, why don't you come with me?"

"You Tokyo people really like to act on your own. This is Kyoto, not your Tokyo. Officer Takashi, please don't take away important evidence at will." Ayanokouji Fumimaro narrowed his eyes. It can be seen that he has no good feelings towards Tokyo, or perhaps Kyoto people always have a weird sense of superiority.

Fujiwara Yuu didn't know how he had offended him. He calmly put the key in his hand and said:

"Officer Ayanokouji, have you forgotten something? A joint investigation team has been established for the Genji Hotaru case. You and I are both members of it, so don't talk about Kyoto or Tokyo."

"How do you know for sure that the victim's death is related to the Genji Hotaru case?" asked Ayanokouji Fumimaro.

Fujiwara Yuu couldn't help but curl his lips when he heard this. He walked past Ayanokouji Fumimaro and said something that the other party couldn't refute:

"Then why is Officer Ayanokouji lingering near the teahouse?"

The subtext is simply this - don't you also suspect that there are members of the thief group Genji Hotaru among them?

The police officer who respected Ayanokouji Fumimaro couldn't accept it. He frowned and shouted at Sosuke Takashi's back:

"How did you talk to Inspector Ayanokouji? You..."

Before he could finish his words, Ayanokouji Fumimaro raised his hand to quiet him down, with a smile in his narrow eyes. He was not angry because Sosuke Takagi had intervened in his case without authorization. Instead, he found it interesting that he could sense his purpose.

As expected of a big shot in the Metropolitan Police Department, he does have some real skills.

Fujiwara Yuu arrived at the entrance of the teahouse and bought two cans of Coca-Cola from the vending machine. Then he heard a sarcastic Kyoto accent coming from the side:

"I didn't expect Officer Yingsi to have such a unique taste. Does this civilian drink suit your taste?"

"Never?" Fujiwara Yuu confirmed the expression on Ayanokouji Fumimaro's face and revealed a regretful expression: "Then you're really pitiful. I'm afraid you didn't have a childhood."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro was about to retort, but one of the cans of "common people's drinks" was stuffed into his hand. He looked at Takagi Sosuke in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

"Try drinking it. The carbonation can also keep your brain awake and replenish some sugar, so you'll have the energy to find the truth of the case."

“…”

Ayanokouji Fumimaro stared at the Coke in his hand for a while. Perhaps he was a little thirsty, but he did not refuse it. Occasionally, drinking some ordinary drinks could also give him a different taste.

He drank half a can in one breath. The carbonated bubbles were a bit irritating to his throat, causing him to burp.

This disrespectful behavior made him blush with embarrassment. He thought that Takashi Sosuke would definitely take this opportunity to tease him, but he didn't do so. Instead, he pointed to the car parked on the side of the road and said:

"What are you still standing there for? What if the murderer or his accomplice died first? We won't be able to find any clues."

Ayanokouji Fumimaro pursed his lips and didn't reply. After getting in the car and fastening his seat belt, he tilted his head and asked:

"Do you have any suspects?"

"Everyone who was in the teahouse just now is a suspect. As for who to suspect, there is no one yet."

"Suspect...are you included in this?"

Fujiwara Yuu found Ayanokouji Fumimaro's question quite interesting. He started the car and said with a smile:

"Officer Ayanokouji, you're also a suspect, right?"

"It's not a good idea for two suspects to go to the victim's house, right?"
