People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

Early the next morning, Asakawa Yu, Miyano Akemi, and the others were told by Inspector Megure to come to the Metropolitan Police Department after breakfast, as he said there was something he wanted to discuss with them.

“However, Inspector Megure and the others called us over early this morning. I wonder if something has happened again,” Akemi said as she put on her shoes.

"Hehe, I guess it must be some kind of case that has happened again."

Ai Haibara stood beside the two with her arms crossed, looking quite serious.

"Don't overthink it. Maybe it's just some trivial matter?"

Asakawa Yu stepped in to lighten the mood, but he also knew that the truth was exactly as Haibara Ai had said...

…………

"Great, Brother Asakawa, you've finally arrived. Now everyone is here."

As soon as they entered the Metropolitan Police Department, Inspector Megure hurriedly came out to greet them, which surprised Asakawa Yu.

But he quickly realized, "Good morning, Inspector Megure. So, if you're saying that, there are other people besides us?"

"Yes, you guys go first..."

"Good morning, Haibara-san! And also, Asakawa-nii and Ayami-neechan!"

Just as Inspector Megure was about to take Asakawa Hayao and the others to the meeting room, Genta and the other children suddenly ran out from inside.

"It's you guys, so that means..."

Upon seeing the children, it was only natural that Ai Haibara's gaze would drift behind them, and she would then spot someone she knew all too well.

"Good morning."

That's right, it's Conan Edogawa.

"Sigh~ I knew it."

Ai Haibara silently rolled her eyes, thinking that something must have happened this time.

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's go inside."

After Inspector Megure finished speaking, he went inside first. Seeing this, everyone followed in with a clamor, led by Asakawa Yu.

"Good morning, Uncle Mori. We meet again."

As soon as Asakawa Yu entered the room, he saw Kogoro Mouri, who had arrived early.

Good morning, Asakawa-kun.

After greeting him, Kogoro Mori yawned, and Asakawa Yu thought he must have been playing pachinko or something like that last night.

As for Akemi, she went over to greet Ran and the others.

"Ahem, the reason I called everyone here today is actually because a body that was assassinated was found in a suite in the Twin Towers skyscraper last night."

As Inspector Megure spoke, Inspector Chiba readily agreed and pasted the victim's photo onto the whiteboard behind him.

"This...this person is!"

"what?!"

“Iwamatsu Ōki, a councilor from Nishitama City!”

When they saw the victim, everyone, including Kogoro Mouri, stared wide-eyed. After all, this person was perfectly fine yesterday, and today they were suddenly told that he was dead.

Moreover, the murder of a member of parliament is no small matter.

Seeing everyone's shock, Inspector Megure continued, "I heard that you were all there when he asked Mio Tokiwa for accommodation, Chiba!"

After saying that, Inspector Megure turned to him and gestured for him to explain the details of what had happened.

"Yes! The time of Oki's death was probably between 10 p.m. and midnight. The murder weapon was likely a knife, but it was not found at the scene. However, Oki was holding a small wine glass that had been cut in half."

"Shot glass?"

"This is it."

Shiratori handed the small wine glasses, which were packed in a bag, to everyone.

“This small wine glass is an expensive item. Oki likes to drink, so it was probably brought along with sake. We analyze that it might be a message left by the murderer to hint at their identity…”

"In other words, the police believe the killer is one of those five people?"

Kogoro Mouri looked at the five photos on the whiteboard; the people in the photos were some of the people who were present that day.

“Yes.” Shiratori nodded in agreement, “because the building on site is a new building that hasn’t been put into use yet.”

"That's it! I understand now, the small wine glass refers to chocolate, and the murderer is Hara Yoshiaki, who loves chocolate!"

Kogoro Mouri suddenly stood up from his chair, pounded his other hand, and said happily.

However, his reasoning drew dissatisfaction and disdain from the crowd.

"Eh?"

"Liar!"

"It couldn't be Mr. Hara!"

The Junior Detective League members were the most obvious example of this.

The three of them were discussing quietly below, all of them defending Hara Yoshiaki.

"Hey! You bunch of jerks, stop arguing, okay?!" Seeing this, Kogoro Mori shouted angrily at the group.

“Mr. Hara Yoshiaki is innocent,” Inspector Megure suddenly said.

"Ok?"

“We questioned all five of them, and only he had an alibi. However, what's strange is that when we tried to ask him for some details, we found that we could no longer contact him…”

Inspector Megure's words were like a pebble dropped into a lake, instantly causing a huge uproar.

"It must be him, Inspector Megure! It must be because he has something to hide, so he fled first to avoid punishment! That's it, it must be!"

Upon hearing this, Kogoro Mouri said excitedly, and although he didn't know why, he was convinced that Yoshiaki Hara was the murderer.

"Impossible! Mr. Yuan could never be the murderer!"

"Yeah, he even shared his chocolate with us!"

Hearing these kids contradicting him again, Kogoro Mouri was instantly enraged. "You lot!"

However, when Asakawa Yu heard that Hara Yoshiaki could no longer be contacted, a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

It seems that Shuichi Akai and his group have started their operation... so his plan can be put into practice soon.

If it weren't for the fact that she now has something on her mind, Asakawa Yu would probably choose to go to the scene herself to investigate and ensure the accuracy of the information. But now...

Thinking this, Asakawa Yu turned to look at Akemi, a hint of tenderness unconsciously appearing in her eyes.

"Huh? Is there something on my face, boss?"

Seeing Asakawa Yu suddenly staring at her, Akemi couldn't help but ask.

Seeing this, Asakawa Yu simply shook her head and then continued to focus her attention on the conversation.

"By the way, Brother Asakawa, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

After witnessing Kogoro Mouri's muddled reasoning, Inspector Megure, having exhausted all other options, could only place his last hope on Yu Asakawa.

"Hmm... I think..."
