第1127話: 小五郎は、木尾健吾の完全な自白にもかかわらず、彼を起訴する手続き上の遅延を問う。

1127

At the MPD Asahidai Police Station, Kogoro roared in an exceedingly anxious tone to Inspector Megure - the reason was, that a culprit behind a murder case who he had assisted the Division 1 to arrest, whose name was Kengo Kitao, was invariably on stand-by mode in terms of the formal prosecution procedure. This definitely struck Kogoro puzzled and kept insisting on getting a justifiable answer for it. Confronting the out-of-mind-Kogoro, Megure sighed and showed the situation: strangely, Kitao admitted everything frankly, but regardless of how Takagi questioned him regarding the details to his crime, he was utterly speechless, yet decided to simply get by the inquiries utilising the fact of his aging. Conan who was also present in the interrogation room, sensed something odd as well. Eights days ago, the police received an anonymous tip and discovered that, near a suspended construction area located in Asahidai, a seemingly abandoned car was parked and a body was seen within. The man who suffered was named Masato Honda, who apparently owned that car. He was first being fed with sleeping pills and was murdered thereafter. (Source: DCW Wiki)
