Ep. 103: Conan exposes Johnny Hijikata's elaborate elevator and room plate tricks to clear Harrisan's name.

103

Conan returns to Johnny's apartment to prove Harrisan's innocence. Richard distracts the media while the Inspector leads Harrisan outside but is tranquilized by Conan to announce that Johnny Hijikata is the real killer. After strangling his wife to death in another room, he utilized a series of tricks including the switching of room plates and manipulating the elevator's control panel. In doing so, Johnny tricked everyone by taking them to his 6th floor condo while everyone believed they were at the 5th floor condo by creating duplicate rooms on both floors. He lowered Isabel’s corpse from the 6th floor unto Harrisan’s actual balcony on the 5th floor once attention was cleared, effectively framing him for the murder. As proof, Conan directs Detective Wilder to find the model gun under the sofa wielding Richard's fingerprints in the room on the 6th floor. Defeated, Johnny confesses, stating his wife was cheating on him and was needing money from her life insurance. He claims he won't do jail time as he is a celebrity, though Inspector Meguire thinks otherwise.
