Tập 66: Richard điều tra một vụ giết người liên quan đến một người bạn đại học và một tiếng gõ kỳ lạ.

66

Richard runs into Jim Fleming, his friend from college, who requests him to investigate a banging noise. Whilst drinking in Jim's apartment, one of his windows breaks and Zachery Byers is found dead outside on the street. Conan is baffled when he finds the victim's blood on the wall, the railing and glass from Jim's broken window. After finding a slingshot and red thread in a fishtank, Conan is able to find out who the murderer is. Richard is tranquilized and Conan reveals Torman Lloyd as the killer; he shot rope and string over the railing, tied his sock filled with rocks, and used the glow of the victim's cigarette to bludgeon Zachery to death. It is explained that Torman has been practicing his methods, hence the banging noise that has Jim bothered. Evidence is the victim's blood which can be found within Torman's sock. Torman confesses and reveals that the victim aided him in murdering his wife to claim her life insurance and feared exposure. (Source: Wikipedia)
