Ep. 717: The Noh Mask Mansion Demon Dances Again as Murders Persist

717

While waiting for police, further assassination attempts target the museum curator. A fire erupts, trapping the group inside a building. A masked woman, resembling the conspiring ex-wife, kills her two accomplices. The survivors escape and use an internal phone to check on the nurse and curator. After the nurse confirms their safety, she screams and disconnects. The group rushes to her location, finding her unconscious, the ex-wife dead from stabbing, and the curator critically injured. Inspectors initially rule that the ex-wife attacked the curator and the nurse acted in self-defense. However, the sleeping Kogoro identifies the nurse as the actual culprit. The curator survives because Conan previously advised him to wear protective armor beneath his clothing.
