Ep. 270: The Forgotten Memento from the Crime (Part 2)

270

Conan does not think that Idetsuki was attacked by an outsider. The kids detect the scent of flowers coming from the microwave and Conan gets how the crime was committed. Using Agasa‘s voice, Conan declares that Hideo murdered Idetsuki, having programmed the remote control to work for two VCR machines, one of which was hidden behind curtains above her with a vase in front of it. When Idetsuki finished the movie, she used the remote to eject the tape out and crouched below to retrieve it. This causes the tape in the top VCR to come out as well which pushes the vase over and crushes Idetsuki‘s skull. As evidence, Hideo removed the vase in the hallway which was separated in to two parts in advance and hid them in the cupboard among the dishes and tableware. The flowers were heated in the microwave and thrown in the trash can. Idetsuki persuaded Mrs. Morita to invest in the stock market which later built up massive debt, and she committed suicide. After solving the case, Conan rushes home, fearing Ran and Kogoro are kidnapped. He discovers that his suspicions were unfounded and that Ran is fine, but doesn’t realize that someone is really watching the agency: Shuichi Akai. (Source: Wikipedia)
