第35話: 山荘の包帯男殺人事件 その2 続編

35

The bandaged killer tries to go after Ran’s life again but she breaks the killer’s axe with a karate kick. When Conan figures out the case, he attempts tranquilizing Ran but knocks out Sonoko instead and reveals that Ryoichi, the set designer, killed Chikako. Conan elaborates how Ryoichi had already murdered Chikako, then faked her kidnapping with her decapitated head and a dummy that he made rush past the window to create the illusion that she was taken against her will. Ryoichi is also revealed to have faked obesity; he stuffed his shirt with the axe murderer's costume and at one point, Chikako's head, making him appear heavier than he actually is. Ran had seen a much-thinner Ryoichi momentarily when she accidentally barged into his room, therefore becoming a target before even realizing what she saw. Ryoichi confesses and explains that Atsuko, the sixth member of the club, wrote Blue Kingdom, an award-winning script that Chikako stole, took credit for, and won an award and a day later, Atsuko committed suicide, enraging Ryoichi. He attempts suicide but is stopped when Conan, through Sonoko, scolds him for trying to murder Ran and killing Chikako, stating his actions have dishonored Atsuko's memory. Ryoichi brokenheartedly surrenders to the club. (Source: Wikipedia)
