Situation

Riichi Tengan, a popular ventriloquist wants Kogoro to help himself from killing his wife Kazuko because he had always hallucinations that the doll he had wanted him to killed his wife. Few days later, the apprentice called Kogoro and tell that Kazuko was killed. Afterwards, Ran, Conan and Kogoro go to the house and found the wife lying on the sofa.

Inspector Megure confirms that the weapon used at the crime is the "trophy" and the only possible for the crime is the husband Riichi, because his fingerprints was found that the trophy but when Conan and Kogoro merely investigate, they found speakers on the different sides of the house and give it to Inspector Megure. When the forsenics tested it, Inspector Megure spilled out that the apprentice Haruomi had his fingerprints on the speakers, pointing him to be the suspect, but he denied that the speakers were gone missing last week. Later on, the police found out Haruomi's glasses with the victim's blood on it and he turned out to be the major suspect, but he denied and Inspector Megure said that its just a matter of time if he confessed. But Conan has that uneasy feeling that there's something wrong. Is Haruomi really the suspect?

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The real culprit is Riichi Tengan. The motive was obviously the affair between his wife and Togawa, which had injured his personal pride.

In order to make it appear that Togawa wanted to drive him into insanity, Tengan stole the speakers and recorder from Togawa and planted them inside his own house to be easily found. In addition, the sudden change of the act in the opening scene was meant to further "confirm" that he was already driven into insanity by the time he hired Kogoro. This was all meant to initially cast suspicion on himself, only to have him cleared by both pinning the blame on his apprentice and claiming innocence by reason of his "induced" split personality.

The decisive pieces of evidence are Togawa's glasses Tengan had drenched with Kazuko's blood and then planted inside Togawa's bag. In the process, the glasses had caught some fibers from Tengan's gloves, which were found clinging to the glasses' frame by the forensics. To avoid discovery of the bloodstained gloves, Tengan hid them inside his puppet and later disposed of them. But Conan has deduced their hiding place, and by having it examined, traces of the gloves' fibers with Kazuko's blood and Tengan's sweat were found on the puppet. Before his presentation of the facts, Conan additionally hid two fake gloves on the puppet, making Tengan burst out with an involuntary confession and thus completely shattering his alibi.
