[Story]

In a small town, a mug was found covered in mud near a murder scene. The townspeople were sympathetic to the victims family, but no one could explain how the mug ended up there. At a symposium, experts gathered to discuss the case. They analyzed the mud on the mug and discovered a synthetic substance that could only have come from a nearby factory. The symphony playing in the background added to the eerie atmosphere as the experts hypothesized about the motive for the murder. Meanwhile, the victims family struggled to cope with their loss, finding solace in the communitys sympathy.
