第199話: 高級ホテルで臼井律子殺害事件の主要な容疑者となった毛利小五郎

199

Kogoro is relaxing at a luxury hotel but is interrupted by Ran after catching him staring at girls at the pool. Upon leaving, they run into Eri Kisaki who is meeting up with a few lawyers, namely Ritsuko Usui and Norifumi Saku, for a conference. Ritsuko and Norifumi attended school with Eri in the past. After dinner, a drunken Kogoro goes missing, prompting the others to search for him. Eri calls his phone, hears it ringing from the inside of Ritsuko’s room, open the door with the chain lock in place, and find Ritsuko strangled to death. Worst of all, Kogoro emerges from the bed, much to everyone's shock. The investigation is led by Inspector Yamamura and Eri quickly discovers clues, including a crumpled memo saying "hayashi 2", suggesting that someone else killed Ritsuko and is using Kogoro as a scapegoat. Moreover, the "Do Not Disturb" and "pay later" signs left on the door have Conan wondering what culprit's intentions are. (Source: Wikipedia)
