Kip. 1050: Intrigue at Morikawa Mansion (Part 1)

1050

Conan and Ran accompany Kogoro to the mansion where he has received a request. The client is Yuyama Morikawa, known as the don of the soft-serve ice cream industry. Yuyama has been diagnosed with cancer and has very little time left to live, and he asked Kogoro to advise him on his inheritance. In the mansion were the owner, Yuyama, three brothers, Yuichiro, Yujiro, and Yousaburo Morikawa, who were candidates for inheritance, Hiroki Oi, a lawyer, and Tomoyoshi Shikatsu, the chief butler. All the three brothers talk about is their inheritance. When Conan goes around the mansion, he sees that each of them is eager to get their hands on the inheritance. They fight constantly, and Tomoka, who has known them since he was a child, seems lonely. 　At dinner, Yujiro is nowhere to be found among the members gathered in the dining room. The meal begins without Yujiro's arrival, and after dinner, they are informed that the will will be rewritten tomorrow afternoon. The next morning, neither Yujiro nor Yuuzaburo show up at the diner. Suspicious, Conan and his friends go to check their rooms. Yujiro is nowhere to be found, and Yuuzaburo was murdered in a locked room. Kogoro tries to call the police, but is stopped by Oi.
