Case

Situation

Part 1

Conan and the Detective Boys run into Naeko Miike and Yumi Miyamoto, who were talking about Yumi's ex-boyfriend. Naeko Miike shortly receives a call from her acquaintance, Sakurako Yonehara, about a dead body. When the police arrive on the scene, the case seems to be a suicide, but Conan points out that the ripped-out suicide note does not match the ripped page of the victim's notebook. Also, the note is signed with the victim's full name, while all of her other notes were signed with only her first name. Thus, the case develops into a possible murder.

Suicide?
	Location: 1802 Room of Chateau Beika Mansion Victim: Chiyoko Itami Cause of death: Hanging Suspects: Naganobu Itami, Shukichi Haneda, and Yasuie Itami

Part 2

Conan pieces all the clues together: the suicide note with somewhat strange contents, Shukichi Haneda mentioning a "well-prepared move", same phone models of all the family members, the trick behind the bedroom door closing upon Sakurako and the victim's husband entering the room, and the victim's phone on the floor.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Naganobu Itami. Because his wife was addicted to high stakes stock playing to where she put there condo as collateral. He was exposed because he used a public pay phone to call his cell - which had a changed phone cover to match his wife's - so it would play into his trick.
