Odc. 168: Tottori Spider Mansion Demon Resolution: Robert's Confession and Arrest

168

Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and cooperates with Heiji to shed light on the case. First, Misa’s real father is Ryuji, not Nobukazu. The conception was an arrangement between Ryuji and Kinuyo, because Nobukazu had been declared steril and Kinuyo desperately wanted a child. Second, after setting up massive piles of fishing line and a noose that was connected to a car with string, Nobukazu was lured to the room under the promise of a fruitful drug deal and killed; A BB gun pellet was shot at the window to get Nobukazu to look out. The killer drove away, the noose wraps around Nobukazu’s neck pulling him in the opposite direction, the string snaps causing his corpse to fall into the fishing line below in order to take revenge for Misa's suicide as well to put blame on the spider curse. Robert is the murderer, he is revealed to have killed Negishi as well for making a rude comment about Misa, and attacked Kazuha because she found a BB gun pellet mistaking it for a pearl. As evidence, a few people knew about Nobukazu's death as he was entangled in strings and outside of those, one more person knew, the killer himself. Robert confesses how he was enraged how no one stopped Misa's suicide. When he shows no mercy for attacking Kazuha, Heiji reveals it was his own message; Robert wrote "SHINE" as in "the shine of his life." "SHI-NE" in Japanese means "die." Robert, completely devastated and regretting his actions, is arrested for the murders. (Source: Wikipedia)
