Ep. 35: Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case Part Two Continues

35

The masked assailant targets Ran, who deflects his axe with a karate strike. Conan deduces the truth and accidentally tranquilizes Sonoko while exposing set designer Ryoichi as Chikako’s killer. Ryoichi fabricated Chikako’s abduction using a dummy and decapitated head, while hiding his true slim physique by stuffing his clothes with the killer’s costume and the victim’s head. Ran witnessed his actual form, making her a target. Ryoichi confesses that Chikako stole Atsuko’s script Blue Kingdom, leading to Atsuko’s suicide. Conan intervenes, arguing that Ryoichi’s violence dishonors Atsuko’s memory. Ryoichi breaks down and surrenders to the club.
