Episode 199: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect (Part 1)

Ritsuko Usui, one of Eri's associates, was found murdered in her hotel room. The room was sealed off by the door chain, making it impossible for no one else but Kogoro, who had been sleeping inside the room, to commit the murder. Will Kogoro be given a life sentence, or worse, death penalty, for a crime he didn't commit?

Scenario: Kogoro is relaxing at a luxury hotel but is interrupted by Ran after catching him staring at girls at the pool. Upon leaving, they run into Eri Kisaki who is meeting up with a few lawyers, namely Ritsuko Usui and Norifumi Saku, for a conference. Ritsuko and Norifumi attended school with Eri in the past. After dinner, a drunken Kogoro goes missing, prompting the others to search for him. Eri calls his phone, hears it ringing from the inside of Ritsuko’s room, open the door with the chain lock in place, and find Ritsuko strangled to death. Worst of all, Kogoro emerges from the bed, much to everyone’s shock. The investigation is led by Inspector Yamamura and Eri quickly discovers clues, including a crumpled memo saying “hayashi 2”, suggesting that someone else killed Ritsuko and is using Kogoro as a scapegoat. Moreover, the “Do Not Disturb” and “pay later” signs left on the door have Conan wondering what culprit’s intentions are.

Eri Kisaki meets up with two other lawyers, one male, and the other female. Both attended school with her in the past. Kogoro later gets drunk and falls asleep in the bedroom of the female lawyer's room. When they return to the room, she's dead, and the door is locked from the inside, making Kogoro the prime suspect.
