Supernatural Elements in Shenmue IV and Beyond

Well, there is the fact that Master Chen claims that Iwao and Zhu brought the mirrors to Japan together. Or more precisely, "Zhu and [Iwao] brought back a certain mirror from China."
Fairly certain that Master Chen never met Iwao and only knows of him through Zhu. Zhu May have told Chen that they brought the mirror back together, but that still means all we have to go on is Zhou’s words (albeit as a secondary source this time).

If anything this line is even more damning (assuming they used the singular noun ‘mirror’) as it shows that Zhu initially only knew about Iwao having one of the mirrors. If Lan Di found out that Iwao had the dragon mirror from Zhu, this would explain how/why he didn’t know about the Phoenix mirror (Zhu didn’t know and so couldn’t tell him).
