Ep. 574: Conan and Heiji deduce the culprit by analyzing alibis and baseball terminology

574

Conan and Heiji question three suspects who claim to have attended a sumo match, a volleyball game, and a soccer game. They deduce that Teruaki actually went to a baseball game, meaning one suspect must have been there too. Takuya Kyuma, the soccer fan, used baseball terms to describe his soccer outing, revealing him as the culprit. The detectives expose that Kyuma attacked Teruaki to obtain a home run baseball, which is hidden in his popcorn bag. Kyuma confesses, explaining his deceased girlfriend’s wish was to receive such a ball. At the hospital, Teruaki gives Kyuma the baseball and drops the charges. Teruaki then apologizes to Kazuha, stating Heiji has her charm. Heiji finds the picture doodled on, misinterprets Kazuha’s feelings, and becomes enraged.
