Odc. 1074: Kogoro, Ran i Conan badają sprawę kradzieży dziedzicznego garnka w restauracji z fugu w Shimonoseki.

1074

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan visit Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, with the introduction of Hiroki Oi, a lawyer they met in a preview case. The client is Makoto Izumiya, the fourth generation owner of a long-established puffer fish restaurant Izumiya, and his daughter Kaede. It is said that, when the store was at its busiest and no one was in the house, a burglar broke in and stole the heirloom pot. It's an expensive hot pot, but what's important to them is the soup stock that comes out of the hot pot's skin, which has been steeped in the umami flavor since the restaurant's founding. Conan and the others go to interview four suspect candidates narrowed down by the police. There are four suspects: Yasushi Kobayashi, an employee at a restaurant at Kanmon Wharf who was arrested two years ago for robbing Izumiya restaurant; Shinichi Fujii, the owner of Kan restaurant chain who failed to buy Izumiya; Satoru Daiehara, the owner of King Arthur restaurant who knows about Izumiya's pot; and Keisuke Ban, a former employee at Izumiya who was fired. They start to investigate by going to visit each suspects and ask them questions, while also traveling in different places. At the night, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan visit an izakaya where they start their deductions, but when they exit the Izakaya, the robber is seen and chased by Ran, but before escaping, he attacks Kogoro with a bottle. The police examine all of the security camera footage from Kyushu to Honshu on the day of the theft (e.g. Kanmon Tunnel, Mojiko Retro, Shin-Shimonoseki, and Shimonoseki station platforms), and none of the suspects appears in the camera footage. In addition to that all of them have perfect alibis, then what trick did the culprit use? (Source: Detective Conan Wiki)
