[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] claimed that no one entered his sight ever since two o'clock, when the Detective Boys began playing footbal in the park, which means, it would not be possible for the culprit to flee after murdering Takamatsu. Despite that, Genta pointed out a shortcut path he knew for exiting this park - this offered Conan a breaking point in this elusive case. He found some blood on the plant, nearby the path they took to exit the park, so it could be deduced that instead of escaping through the proper gateway, the culprit used the shortcut as well. Following the traits left by the culprit, since there were loads of blood ejected from the crime scene, the culprit must have a considerable amount of blood on them, traces of blood are bound to be retained on his getaway. And, in fact, there were dozens! [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] used her perceptive keen eye and found several of them, until the blood stain indications ended. On the huge crossing road, they met Takagi and [[Kazunobu Chiba|Chiba]] again, and learned the fact that the investigation might come into a halt due to the miniscule clues they had found.

Conan felt rather discouraged; he compromised, he insticaged everyone to go home. [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] was puzzled: he could not believe that Conan actually gave on cracking the case, which shocked him completely. [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] explained that probably Conan realised the case was not suitable for a detective to unravel, as it is a random indiscriminate murder committed by a random culprit, which does not have any relationship to the victim, so victim's friend circle could not be inquired about, and as a result, no suspects can be narrowed down to. At this instant, they just got to see a lady cleaning the mess near a metal pole; it was supposedly caused by a guy riding a bicycle, who bumped into the pole. Conan's sorrow had transformed into pure chuckle in just a heartbeat - he got it, the truth, and the trick the culprit used to flee in the middle of the city pavement with a bunch of witnesses, and had a large amount of blood stained on their clothes.

The Detective Boys visited a sickhouse in a hospital, and the patient was named '''Kanta Sakaguchi'''. Conan and the rest began revealing the trick he used to flee using the ambulance. Haibara proposed the famous quote "the best place to hide a leaf is in a forest", Sakaguchi camouflaged the blood from the deceased Takamatsu with his own blood, by bumping into the metal pole to cause the injury. That way, the police would not track him down in this aspect. The bicycle was just a random one being parked casually by someone, seemingly abandoned.

Conan then showed him the evidence he got: a piece of paper that was initially stuck on that bicycle.

''Abandoned bicycles will be removed. Abandoning bicycles is prohibited in this area. Please park your bicycle at a parking station.''

When Sakaguchi was in a rush, he hastily took out this piece of paper off the bicycle and left it near a bush. And some fingerprints with the blood he had were deposited. After seeing the positive proof, Sakaguchi was enraged; he seized that apper from Conan's hand and immediatly ate it.

Sakaguchi confessed the sin. He explained that he did not know the victim; he only saw him sleeping on top of the bench in the park, so he attempted to steal the golden watch. However, Takamatsu woke up abruptly midway, and they got into a fight, eventually leading to the death of Takamatsu.

After the case has been solved, the Detective Boys were on their way home, and Genta proposed that he knew another shortcut to go. He led everyone into the off-beaten-track forest, and Mistuhiko roared that they would definitely get home faster and easier with the normal route. Implying that shortcuts may not always be the optimal solution, just like how they tried to find shortcut in the murder case.</spoiler>

Cast

Case

Situation

On another peaceful morning, the Detective Boys were hanging out on the park, playing footbal cheerfully, while rejoicing the cozy day. Accidentally, Genta used excessive strength to kick the football, which led the ball to land midst the bush. Ayumi thus went inside to fetch the football. And luckily, she found the ball effortless, but just as she raised her head to observe the vincinity, she was utterly astounded - right next to the fallen footbal, there was a rather "fresh" corpse lying on the ground...

Murder

EP1104 Case.jpg

Location: Unknown park
Victim: Jiro Takamatsu
Age: 50 years old
Cause of death: Blunt-force trauma
Suspects: Unknown
He was hit by a large rock, evidently picked up from the park. An abundance of blood was splattered around the crime scene.

According to the investigation by Detective Takagi, the victim is apparently a loan shark and runs a financial business in a nearby building. He always wears luxury clothes and equips expensive accessories (such as his golden watch); however, they found his wallet in his dead body to be empty, and those so-called luxury goods disappeared as well. So they boldly assume the murder to be a robbery, and from someone who probably could not afford the high interest rate of the loan the victim offered.

Conan claimed that no one entered his sight ever since two o'clock, when the Detective Boys began playing footbal in the park, which means, it would not be possible for the culprit to flee after murdering Takamatsu. Despite that, Genta pointed out a shortcut path he knew for exiting this park - this offered Conan a breaking point in this elusive case. He found some blood on the plant, nearby the path they took to exit the park, so it could be deduced that instead of escaping through the proper gateway, the culprit used the shortcut as well. Following the traits left by the culprit, since there were loads of blood ejected from the crime scene, the culprit must have a considerable amount of blood on them, traces of blood are bound to be retained on his getaway. And, in fact, there were dozens! Ayumi used her perceptive keen eye and found several of them, until the blood stain indications ended. On the huge crossing road, they met Takagi and Chiba again, and learned the fact that the investigation might come into a halt due to the miniscule clues they had found.

Conan felt rather discouraged; he compromised, he insticaged everyone to go home. Mitsuhiko was puzzled: he could not believe that Conan actually gave up on cracking the case, which shocked him completely. Haibara explained that probably Conan realised the case was not suitable for a detective to unravel, as it is a random indiscriminate murder committed by a random culprit, which does not have any relationship to the victim, so victim's friend circle could not be inquired about, and as a result, no suspects can be narrowed down to. At this instant, they just got to see a lady cleaning the mess near a metal pole; it was supposedly caused by a guy riding a bicycle, who bumped into the pole. Conan's sorrow had transformed into pure chuckle in just a heartbeat - he got it, the truth, and the trick the culprit used to flee in the middle of the city pavement with a bunch of witnesses, and had a large amount of blood stained on their clothes.
