قسمت 368: قتل در خانه آبنبات: مغازه شیرین و فریبکار جادوگر

368

Sonoko takes Conan and Ran to the "Candy House", a Hansel and Gretel-themed store specializing in various sweets and candies. The trio then meets three masters who make pastries and puddings: Maeda Gou, Fujino Yasuo and Morimoto Tomomi. Behind the scenes of the shop is their boss, Sachiko Hashigaki, who has stern words for her employees about their performance. When things have cooled down, Sachiko is found bludgeoned to death, her employees are now suspects, but no murder weapon can be found. Conan discovers that they all have a motive and finds wood shavings in different parts of the crime scene. He goes on to stun Sonoko and reveals that a real log was used to kill Sachiko, and the only suspect who specializes in making cakes that resemble pieces of logs is Fujino Yasuo. As evidence, Fujino baked the murder weapon into a cake which is found at his station. Fujino confesses that Sachiko promised that he could leave and start his own company if he won a baking competition. Hatred grew when Sachiko went back on her promise, seeing how Fujino's popularity is the source of her clientele plus the abuse he was suffering from her hands. Sachiko is the prime example of the witch in Hansel and Gretel, the story which the Candy House was themed after. (Source: Wikipedia)
