Ep. 40: The Wealthy Daughter Murder Case Part Two Unveiling Takashi's Alibi and Motive
Aired on December 2, 1996

40
Reika’s soaked body is recovered from the bathtub, bound and taped. Conan notices water stains on the men’s shirts after Kogoro accidentally activates the shower, identifying Takashi as the killer. Takashi had isolated Yuji to murder him, then caused a blackout and broke a window to fake an escape. He attacked Ran to create a witness, though Reika was not drowned like Yuji. Instead, she was taped to the tub bottom with the shower running to ensure a quiet death, preserving Takashi’s alibi. Water stains on his elbows confirm he moved her. Takashi confesses that Reika and Yuji killed Yaeko by stealing life jackets, leaving her to die. They confessed to this crime before Takashi killed them in revenge, a act Yone condemns despite his grief.
