Ép. 120: Richard enquête sur la chute de Stacy Young depuis le balcon d’une maison de montagne

120

Richard is invited by Stacy Young, a previous client, to her mountain house who wishes Richard to help with the announcement of a spa resort. While Richard is looking out the window, Stacy falls from the second floor and is pronounced dead on the scene. Evidence shows Stacy was attacked by bees and accidentally ran off the balcony, but Conan believes there's more to the story and does an investigation of his own. Conan tranquilizes Richard and declares the housekeeper, Stanley Aikman, as the killer. Stanley covered Stacy's doorknob, her only means of escape, with bees and honey thus using Stacy's apiphobia to his advantage. He weakened her balcony railing in advance with ether and when Stacy leaned against it, it broke, sending her to her death below. As evidence, Stanley has thread in his pocket that was used to release the bees from a balloon that was hidden in her chimney. Stanley confesses and says he saved Stacy from a bee attack when they were younger, but in return, she berated and humiliated him every chance she got. (Source: Wikipedia)
