Ep. 1107: Kogoro Investigates Sanada's Suspicious Request to Halt Detective Services Immediately

1107

Client Hiroaki Sanada abruptly terminates Kogoro Mouri’s services upon their first meeting, prompting the detective to investigate the unusual request. Sanada reveals that three days prior, extortionist Jiro Inumaru began blackmailing him regarding his conduct as a real estate manager. When Inumaru attacked Sanada, the latter pushed him back, causing Inumaru’s head to strike a table corner and die. Sanada’s friend Daigo Kawakatsu arrived, confirmed the death, and proposed burying the body in the woods to fabricate an alibi. They successfully concealed the corpse, believing their plan was flawless. However, their relief is shattered when a woman rings the doorbell, claiming Inumaru swindled her money. She threatens to call the police unless she is compensated, forcing Kawakatsu to advise Sanada to pay her 30 million yen to silence her and avoid further complications.
