第61話: リチャードが灯台守のハンス・ハマダの殺人で濡れ衣を着せられ逮捕される

61

The Ryujinmaru, an abandoned ship said to carry $1 billion dollars in gold, makes an appearance after being missing for several years; however, the gold is nowhere to be found. Richard, accompanied by Conan and Rachel, is invited by Chief Mikami to speak on the matter where he arrives on stage completely drunk. A miniature bomb explodes and Richard's buttocks is scorched. Conan speaks with Edmund Hanratty who explains to him of the Pirate's Curse. One night, a university professor was decapitated by a pirate while investigating a haunted cave. Two men, Rex Lager and Hank Hamada, encounter each other but Hank wants nothing to do with Rex and leaves. Richard discovers that Chief Mikami has no intentions of turning the gold over when found. Mikami betrays him and forces him to stay on the island. Later that night, Richard is attacked again and chases his attacker but is bashed in the head. He is subsequently arrested, apparently for killing Hank Hamada, his alleged attacker and lighthouse care-taker, by impaling him through his neck with a katana. Conan must prove his innocence or Richard could face life behind bars. (Source: Wikipedia)
