371

Kogoro is invited to attend an interview with famed baseball player Toshizo Nose. Ran and Conan tag along hoping to get photos of Nose as he is Eri’s favorite baseball player. They see on TV, sports reporter Masaharu Motoyama, getting ready for the aforementioned interview. Across town, Toshizo talks with Masaharu, unaware that he is planning to murder him. The next day on the streets, while cryptically referencing historical terms, Masaharu pulls a knife out and stabs Toshizo to death. Kogoro and the group discover Toshizo dead, and Conan instantly suspects Masaharu to be the culprit especially after calling for the police, despite Toshizo laying face down with no injuries. Masaharu has an alibi as he was on a direct flight at the time of the murder. It is discovered that both Masaharu and Toshizo were both on the same team before Masaharu left for a job as a sports reporter. When Conan closes in on Masaharu, he begins seeing Vermouth, possibly hinting ties with the Black Organization. (Source: Wikipedia)
