Odc. 45: Śledztwo w sprawie morderstwa na tle maski

45

Kojima Ikuko has been choked to death in her own home and three suspects are brought in; her daughter Kojima Chihiro, home security worker Yoshioka Juro, and her employee Izumi Takeo. It is revealed that Takeo was embezzling money and Ikuko was going to expose him, so he had a motive, but she was already dead when he arrived at her house. Chihiro is extremely suspicious because of her bad relationship with her mother and reveals that Ikuko was indeed dead when she was there. Conan discovers that a facial mask was applied to the victim and one of her contact lens is missing. Chihiro later dressed her mother to look the same to throw off suspicion but forgot to wipe off her lipstick while in disguise. Nevertheless, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals Takeo to be the killer. Somehow, while Takeo was murdering Ikuko, her contact lens fell out into the helm of his slacks. Takeo confesses that Ikuko was going to sue him then asked his parents to sell their land for his sake. (Source: Wikipedia)
