31

Matsuo Takashi, the host of Prime time Mystery hour, disturbingly shoots a picture with him and co-host Suwa Michihiko. Later, Kogoro is invited to appear on the aforementioned show at the studio as special guest. During a 4 minute break, Michihiko receives a call from Takeshi, who brutally murders him with a shot between his eyes. Michihiko’s corpse is discovered and Conan immediately suspects Takeshi due to the smirk on his face, however, Takeshi and Michihiko were on different floors of the building during the time of Michihiko's murder, making it impossible. Conan investigates and finds missing blood splatter on the window and a bullet hole outside and notices the storage room is two floors up from where Michihiko was killed. Conan realizes how the murder was done, and lures Kogoro to the room and puts him to sleep. Thorough Kogoro, Conan reveals that Takeshi called Michihiko announcing suicidal intentions. In doing so, Michihiko was coaxed into looking outside his window and was murdered; Takeshi dropped the gun into the open window which is how the gun was found in the room with him, and then returned to the ninth floor with time to spare. As evidence, the redial button remains active, and pressing it will call Michihiko’s phone as opposed to Takeshi claiming he didn’t know his number. Takeshi confesses and reveals that it had to be done in order to save the show from being canceled. Afterwards, Kogoro wakes up and suspects Conan is the cause of his sudden drowsiness during a case. Before he could pursue that idea any further, the appearance of Okino Yoko distracts him, leaving Kogoro hopeless. (Source: Wikipedia)
