Ép. 229: Conan démasque Muneyuki comme le meurtrier qui a piégé Kikuyo à l'aide d'une cravate truquée et d'un pendentif.

229

Conan finds something suspicious about the pendant on the necktie and figures out Muneyuki and his methods. It appears that Kikuyo had a 10 million yen debt and insurance money from Motoo's death would cover it, thus giving her a motive. As police officers and Muneyuki start accusing Kikuyo, Conan puts Sonoko to sleep, revealing Muneyuki as the real killer. After killing Motoo, Muneyuki hung his corpse in the closet, hidden behind the clothes, and rigged the necktie and pendant on the left side holding it in place. He sent Kikuyo to look for Motoo who opened the right closet door, activating his trick and effectively framing her for the murder, but when Muneyuki opens both doors, Motoo's corpse fell out. As evidence, Muneyuki's fingerprints and nail imprints are on the necktie used to kill Motoo and perform the trick. Muneyuki sadly confesses that Motoo was having an affair with Kikuyo while married to his deceased daughter, hence why he continuously tried to frame her. He explains that while his daughter was still alive, she had bought a beige tie for Motoo as a Christmas present and that after her death he had found it thrown in the trash. Originally, he thought that the tie had accidentally fallen into the trash but when he went to the airport, he found Motoo, who he thought would be grieving, smiling happily with Kikuyo clutching onto his arm, enraging him. Muneyuki is arrested for murder. (Source: Wikipedia)
