Indeed, where spent shells casings are collected, it is usually done using an internal void space.
The problem with that is that it takes up a considerable amount of precious internal volume (bigger than the magazine for the gun, since spent shells are not going to be neatly packed like fresh shells), and creates another potential point of failure in the system, as a clogged collection chute could easily jam the gun.
It just makes more sense to eject the cases out on deck and use the internal space that would have been required for internal collection for a bigger magazine for the gun.
Yes, it is a front mast of 052D, we are just looking at it from behind and it hasn't got all sponsons for various electronics.Good question.....i asked the same thing recently too, hope some member here can give us an answer.

Here's two real life photos:
I also modeled a Type 052C and it shows the same:
You can see that on the starboard side they have the compartment where the landing and takeoff are controlled and monitored.
The hanger is offset to the port side. There is no hanger under the VLS or the CIWS.

I am more interested in the internal layout. If it's just one narrow, self-contained section, what's the opposite side used for?
The 730 and VLS effectively bisect the rear superstructure, but the 730 shouldn't need deck penetration all the way down to the flight deck, so it should be possible to position the flight control room in the centreline, under the 730, thereby freeing up the right hand side, to allow a second hanger there.
I should have said the rear superstructure. But I am just curious what they have behind the control room that they feel is more useful than a second hanger.
