第79話: コンランが銀行強盗事件を捜査、従業員が犯人を黙らせるために殺害

79

After bowling, Rachel, Serena, and an ill Conan head to the bank to run an errand where they meet bank employees Barton Spacklecrisp, Nigel Aramont, Martin Shorzlow, and Eddie Crockerly. Barton gives Conan cough drops to help with his sickness. An armed bank robbery abruptly occurs. A cell phone rings and Martin is shot but survives. Barton jumps in and kills the robber who is identified as Randy Whitman. After finding cough drop wrappers on the floor and listening to a recording of the robbery provided by a bystander named Tave Linster, Conan puts Serena to sleep and explains that Randy had an accomplice who attempted to call him and warn of Martin's interference. Randy's accomplice and eventual killer is revealed to be Barton Spacklecrisp. After Randy unexpectedly shot Martin, everything went haywire and Barton jumped on Randy with every intention of murdering him in order to keep his part of the crime silent. As proof, Randy was also sick and Barton gave him cough drops, the same he gave to Conan, effectively linking the two together. As Barton is taken away, he explains his motive as justice as he and Randy were a part of the same platoon, which half was killed because of Randy. (Source: Wikipedia)
