Conan: This repairman doesn't quite embody the essence of Conan (1-426).

Summary

In this chapter, Conan and his friends investigate a homicide involving Mr. Ming Shi Yan Fu. They discover that the victim had a tooth extracted shortly before his death and that he was found with curry on his plate, suggesting he had eaten despite his dental condition. The investigation reveals that the deceased had been bound and hanged, biting the rope in a desperate attempt to avoid strangulation. The evidence points to Ming Shi Kuan Ren, the victim's son, who had been cooking the curry. The detectives simulate the scenario of the hanging to demonstrate how the victim's teeth ended up in the curry dish, concluding that the father's death was a result of foul play rather than suicide. The chapter ends with the realization that the son had likely orchestrated the situation to create an alibi.
