Ep. 53: Conan und seine Freunde untersuchen einen Mordfall, der eine Topfpflanze und einen verletzten Vogel betrifft.

53

After finding a wounded bird on the ground, Conan, Kogoro, and Ran hear a scream coming from the building next to them. Once upon entering the building, they find Imoto Ryuusuke, an arrogant businessman, on his balcony, bashed to death and the murder weapon appears to be the potted plant beside his corpse. Suspects in the case is his soon-to-be-divorced wife Imoto Takako, Dobashi Tetsuo, and Terasawa Norio. The only real clues at this point are metallic sounds heard from a suspect, the wounded bird from earlier, and fresh scratches on the railing nearby. Conan understands the situation at hand and drops hints for Kogoro, allowing him to form a theory and reveal Norio as the killer. From the abandoned building next door, Norio flung a weighted object and struck the back of Ryuusuke’s head, killing him instantly. Proof of his guilt is the footprint he left behind when he flung his weapon. Norio confesses and says Ryuusuke drove him out of business. Afterwards, Kogoro tries surf fishing but ends up falling into the river. (Source: Wikipedia)
