第540話: 毛利小五郎が依頼人・蒲生良三の怪死を調査

540

Kogoro receives a request from a client named Ryozo Gamo to find a witness to confirm his alibi. On the sixth day Gamo calls Kogoro and tells him he has lost hope in him. The next day, Gamo is found hanged in a forest an hour in distance away. The police suspect it to be suicide but Kogoro reveals it is a murder, as Gamo could have killed himself at home if he wanted to. After interrogating Gamo's nephew, Kyosuke Arai, Kogoro returns home to find news reporters who question Kogoro about the suicide revealed to be murder. The next day, Kogoro heads to the horse track and meets up with his old friend, Isao Takeoka, the detective who falsely accused Gamo of a crime five years ago. They work together and investigate Ryozo's ties and end up at his nephew's house. They interrogate Arai and reveal his motive for the murder would be the inheritance. The next day, Arai is found in his house hanged and Kogoro decides to close his detective agency by removing its sign. (Source: Detectiveconanworld)
