الحلقة 16: قضية مارو دينجيرو المتعلقة بمقتل جامع التحف والعملاء

16

Maru Denjiro, an antique collector, asks Kogoro to investigate his wife Maru Ineko's affair while he handles business with three of his clients. When Denjiro doesn't return, a housemaid finds his bloodied corpse pinned to the wall with a katana and the crime scene has been shredded. Clues point to Denjiro's clients: Suwa Yuji and Akutsu Makoto, as well as the family physician, Dr. Hatano Ikuya who is revealed to be Mrs. Maru's lover. Conan notices that scratches on the dresser drawers do not match up; so he photographs the drawer and re-arranges them. He discovers the murderer and through Kogoro, Conan reveals that the drawers spell out the name of the murderer when arranged in their original positions. It spells Suwa in hiragana revealing Suwa Yuuji (Jackie Sawyer) as the murderer. Yuji confesses to the crime and explains that Denjiro sold a sword that was a family heirloom that Yuji had put up as collateral on a loan. In a fit of rage, Yuji launches at Kogoro (he doesn't flinch due to being unconscious) but withdraws from attacking. He is arrested while Kogoro, now awake, overreacts after seeing his own blood.
