Episode 487: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 8 Left Hand's Ring Finger

Scenario: Kogoro is invited to attend an interview of the mystery book writer Masataka Moroguichi. The next day, Moroguichi is found dead from consumption of poison. The room was locked and the key was in Moroguichi's palm; The only opening to the room is a small window which can only fit a small child. Simone Miwako and Harry Wilder are called to the scene and believe that the murderer is one of Moroguichi's three interviewers. After a thorough investigation, Conan drops hints allowing Kogoro to solve the murder. Kogoro reveals that the murderer used an unknown object to loop around Moroguichi's hand from the window. After the murderer gave Moroguichi poisoned coffee, he left the room, locked the door, and used the unknown object to send it key back to Moroguichi's hand. The only object fitting this description was the interviewer's Kakuji Dejima cassette tape strings. They reveal that the forensic team should find Moroguichi's blood on the cassette tape. Dejima confesses and reveals that he murdered Moroguichi in vengeance for his friend, Akiba. Akiba was Moroguichi's assistant and was forced to be a test subject for murder ideas which eventually resulted in Akiba's death. Since the police were unable to determine how Akiba was killed, they ruled it as a suicide and Moroguichi was left unpunished. Later that day, Ran asks Simone about the ring on her ring finger. She replies that her friend told her the ring was a charm that would keep bugs away and accepts Wilder's proposal to use his ring as a replacement to the charm.

Sato is the talk of the police department after she is spotted wearing a new ring on her left-hand's ring finger. The other officers jealously corner Takagi thinking he got engaged to Sato and had been hiding it. Much to everyone's shock, Takagi did not give Sato the ring, which leads to even more speculation. Takagi is depressed and want to know who captured Sato's heart, but he isn't able to successfully ask her.

Meanwhile, Kogoro is invited to attend an interview of the mystery book writer Masataka Moroguchi. Masataka Moroguchi recently acquired a gaudy diamond ring embedded with dozens and dozens of small diamonds. The next day, Moroguchi is found dead from consumption of poison.

The locked room was inaccessible to an outsider except for a small window. The only key was in Masataka's palm.

The room was locked and the key was in Masataka's upward facing, open palm. The only opening to the room is a small window that a child would have trouble squeezing through. The body was on the opposite side of the room, quite a distance from the window. Sato and Takagi are called to the scene. Despite these circumstances, the two officers and Conan believe Masataka was murdered by one of his three interviewers.
