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

Summary

The chapter unfolds with a tense atmosphere as Conan and Lin Feng, alongside Officer Hekoguchi, investigate a murder scene. Uncle Maori, despite being asleep, reveals crucial insights about the case. The focus shifts to a videotape borrowed from the victim, Mr. Yashita, which is found to be tampered with. Conan deduces that the murderer used the tape as a weapon, shortening its duration by a minute during the crime. The investigation leads to the discovery that the murderer likely submerged the upper half of the corpse in a bathtub to conceal evidence, including carbon powder from the videotape. The identity of the murderer becomes clearer as it is suggested that the mole seen in a photo may have been a bloodstain, implicating one of the suspects while exonerating another. The chapter concludes with a solid theory on the murderer's actions and motives, emphasizing the cleverness of the detective work involved.
