Ep. 53: Conan and friends investigate a murder involving a potted plant and a wounded bird.

53

Conan, Kogoro, and Ran discover Imoto Ryuusuke dead on a balcony with a potted plant as the suspected weapon. Suspects include his soon-to-be-divorced wife Imoto Takako, Dobashi Tetsuo, and Terasawa Norio. Clues involve metallic sounds, the injured bird, and scratches on the railing. Conan guides Kogoro to deduce that Norio killed Ryuusuke by throwing a weighted object from an adjacent abandoned building. Norio’s footprint confirms his guilt, and he confesses that Ryuusuke ruined his business. Following the case resolution, Kogoro attempts surf fishing but accidentally falls into the river.
