Suspects: Unknown

Last week at 4:30, Oide Raita falls asleep onto the floor, only to later die. At the same time, a robber enters the house to steal whatever belongings they can find.

Kogoro and Conan then met An Oide, the daughter of Raita and older sister of Fusaya, and Io Oide, the victim's wife and Fusaya's mother. Suddenly, due to the shock of losing her husband, Io loses consciousness. Meanwhile the ambulance takes Io to the hospital, Kogoro and Conan see a strange woman smiling.

Later, Conan and Kogoro find out that an employee of Tebai engineering called Yasushi Taira was the robber. He robbed the house while Raita Oide was sleeping on the floor. However, it turns out that he was not the murderer. So, the robbery-murder case was two separate cases.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

There was no culprit. Ironically, the murder turned out to be a involuntary manslaughter committed by Fusaya Oide. He accidentally pushed his father to a wall when they were arguing, causing the shelf to fall and hit Raita on his head, giving him a concussion. Nevertheless, he got up and searched for Fusaya. At 4:30 p.m., when Taira entered the house, he saw Raita sleeping on the floor, but didn't notice Raita was passing away due to the hematoma he got from the concussion. Fusaya breaks down in tears after learning he killed his father indirectly, and later turns himself in to the police.

Trivia

• A convenience store form the same chain as in Intersection of Fear, RANSUN, appears in Part 2.
