Case

Situation

Part 1

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan fly to Okinawa to attend an interview with a famous baseball player, Toshio Nose. On the way there, they witness the player dead on the street.

Murder

Location: Okinawa (Naha City)

Victim: Toshizo Nose

Cause of death: Stab wound

Culprit: Masaharu Motoyama

Conan suspects Motoyama, since he urged his companions to call not just an ambulance but also the police (suggesting that Motoyama knew that Nose would be beyond help), but Motoyama has apparently an alibi: He came off his flight to Okinawa at about 9:50 am, while the murder was committed about twenty minutes earlier. Conan begins to also suspect him to be part of the Black Organization.

After investigating, it is revealed the culprit (Masaharu Motoyama) took two plane rides to create his alibi. Instead of taking the direct route from Miyazaki to Okinawa, Motoyama had taken a plane to Tokyo first, then a retour flight (Flight JAL 931) to Okinawa, where he arrived at 9:20 am, precisely 10 minutes before he committed the murder. He then returned to the airport, pretending that he had just come off the direct Miyazaki-Okinawa flight; hence Motoyama's cryptic historical reference to him being Hideyoshi and Noze being Mitsuhide (as Hideyoshi had caught up with Mitsuhide much quicker than anticipated).

Motoyama was incidentally on the same flight Conan, Ran and Kogoro had boarded and, in disguise, had caught one of the balls Ran had inadvertently dropped. While the tennis ball's felt coating could not retain Motoyama's fingerprints, Kogoro has suggested otherwise in order to have Motoyama guide him and the police to the location of the bloodstained raincoat and murder knife, still hidden in the trunk of the car Motoyama rented for the deed. Another clue was that, when he first met the Moris, he already knew that Conan (who stood apart from Kogoro and Ran at that time) was part of their company, proving that he had seen them together before, i.e. on Flight JAL 931.

The reason behind the murder was that Nose had suggested to Motoyama, who was a celebrated baseball pitcher himself at that time, that his throwing technique was flawed, prompting Motoyama to practice his pitching obsessively until his throwing arm was ruined. While Nose subsequently used his contacts to get Motoyama the sports reproting job, a shocked Motoyama learned later (through an unedited studio recording of a sports talkshow) that Nose had intentionally caused Motoyama to drop out of active sports in order to get rid of (what he considered) his competitor for fame.

After solving the case, Kogoro wonders how he can pass the autographed baseball to his wife, now that her favorite player is dead, but then realizes that with Nose's demise, the baseball has now become a collectors item.
