Situation
Part 1
All the people witnessed the publishing company president named Daisaku Katsumoto fell to his death.
Murder
|
|
Location:
|
Apartment building
|
Victim:
|
Daisaku Katsumoto
|
Age:
|
58 years old
|
Cause of death:
|
Blunt force trauma after falling
|
Suspects:
|
Keisuke Ogino, Kaori Tsukihara, and Kazutomo Sodesaki
|
|
Conan and the police deduced the culprit must be a person inside the building, who assaulted the president and rushed to the first floor. The required amount of time should be at least 10 minutes. The three suspects all had good alibis since the cameraman named Keisuke Ogino was drinking beer with froth bubbling on the surface, the magazine editor named Kaori Tsukihara was having coffee which still had steams, and the writer named Kazutomo Sodesaki was smoking a cigarette with smoke still coming out. Takagi performed repeated experiments to show that the threshold limit for froth, steam or smoke to stop coming out was 7 to 8 minutes. Or was there something else going on?
Through investigation, all of them confessed they held grudges with the murdered. Previously, Katsumoto used their name to publish a fake article claiming a popular actress had an affair while engaged with a man. The "man in affair" was actually her half-brother which the actress had to keep secret, because he was born from an affair her father had. Pressure and the cancellation of the marriage drove her to suicide. The half-brother was attacked by her fans and is still in coma. They had prepared a lawsuit against Katsumoto for his action.

Resolution
The culprit is Keisuke Ogino. He sprinkle some used salt from his pocket in his beer, causing the froth to come out long after the 7 minute limit. Therefore he manipulated the time table of his alibi. The evidence lie inside his pocket: since he had to fabricate the abili on the spot, he took the salt bag from the funeral's bag, which left remains of salt in his pocket. He killed Daisaku Katsumoto because he published a false article that lead to the suicide of the actress it was about. Keisuke was disgusted at the disregard for the victim, and that the president only did so for sales, disgracing the company he was passionate to work for. He also couldn't bear the thought that perhaps the actress, an old classmate of his, died believing that he intentionally put the picture in the false article, and in a fit of rage he killed the president, when he threaten to make another false article if the lawsuit wasn't given up.
