第59話: 最初の用件殺人事件は、誘拐と建物の倒壊に関する謎を含んでいる。

59

Conan and the Junior Detective League volunteer to follow and videotape participants of the "Toddler Shopping Day". While following Christopher, a series of strange events occur. Conan deduces that the child witnessed a murder. The boy, not understanding what he had seen or that he is in danger, continues to shop. The culprit kidnaps Hiroshi, drugging him and placing him with another man's body in a building to be demolished that day. The man then locks Conan and the gang in the room and escapes. As the building begins to fall apart, Conan finds a water pipe that leads outside, and safely guides everyone out of the building and confronts the killer. He reveals that the dead man was a loan shark who loaned him the money he used to build his grocery store. He claims that he killed the loan shark because even though he had paid off the loan, the man kept demanding for more money until nothing was left. The boy awakens, asking the former shopkeeper for items on his list, bringing him to tears that someone actually remembered his store. In a twisted way, the situation is humorous; the ex-shopkeeper could have gotten away with the murder, since Hiroshi never actually saw the body. (Source: Wikipedia)
