47

Saijo Naoya, the reigning diving champion, has apparently drowned to death; he was diving in the dark and struck his head on another diving board. Foul play is suggested when Conan notes the earplugs are not the same brand that the victim usually wears and finds clothes in the victim’s locker which smells like chloroform. Conan suspects Saeki Reiko, who is being blackmailed for tax evasion, Naruse Keiichi who lost the championship to Naoya, and Kijima Hisashi who was also blackmailed for having an affair. With doubts in mind, Conan goes to question an elderly artist who lives in the adjacent building. He shows Conan a sketch of the diver though he didn’t see his face because the pool area was dimmed. Conan notices that in the sketch are sparkles. At the sports club, Kogoro is put to sleep and Conan reveals that Naoya was murdered poolside with a brick. His killer, revealed to be Hisashi, deliberately dimmed the lights and took a dive, not the victim. As evidence, the elderly artist sketched every aspect of the diver’s performance, even the sparkle. Hisashi is the only suspect wearing earrings. He confesses that Naoya’s blackmail is what drove him to murder. (Source: Wikipedia)
