Episode 1076: The Charismatic CEO's Secret Plan
Scenario: Conan and Kogoro find a body downtown. It appears that he was killed by a blow to the head with a pipe, and a dying message was left on the road surface. Conan and his friends visit the apartment where the victim lived, and are told by the caretaker that he said he would pay the rent that had accumulated tomorrow. Furthermore, the presence of Utagawa Sogyo's president emerges from a response to a weekly magazine the caretaker was reading that day. The possibility that he was involved in the incident by trying to extort him came up.
Kogoro and Conan discovered a corpse on the street while taking a stroll. Seemingly, the deceased have been hit in the head with a metal pipe, and remained a dying message that looks like "1-1-2". The estimated time of death is around 9PM last night, Conan visited the deceased's apartment.
According to the apartment manager, no one seem to hold grudge with the victim Komoda. Owing to the fact that Komoda doesn't have a job and claimed yesterday afternoon that he will pay off all of his unpaid apartment rent tomorrow, Kogoro deduces that he must be blackmailing people for a living, and Komoda might be anti-killed by his blackmailed target.
The manager added that Komoda also noticed the photo of Tosuke Utagawa on the magazine, who is the CEO of Utagawa Corporation. He declared that Utagawa would be the perfect target to blackmail, due to his wealth. They went to talk with the CEO, Utagawa. He seemed rather arrogant, and he doesn't have an alibi when the crime was carried out. Up until now, he looks like the person who would kill Komoda for a plausible reason.
Tomoe Izumi, the lady that they encountered in the crime scene, said that yesterday morning Komoda approached her to consult about Juichi Innami, who was a her former resident. Innami had been gone for ten days and he only came back the other night and said he was moving away, however no one knew where did he move to. She showed a video with the appearance of Innami which shocked everyone, Innami looks exactly identical with the CEO Utagawa. Are they the same person?
After a long time of reasoning, another possibility emerged. Innami may be a substitute of Utagawa for fabricating certain alibi, in the premise of their exact same appearances. Kogoro said that it is possible that Komoda blackmailed Utagawa by taking advantage of this matter, and Innami might be killed by Utagawa after the alibi was fabricated. Later, they found out that there was a reward ceromony that held within Utagawa's company on the evening of 9th. This leads to the assumption that Innami might've substituted Utagawa to attend the ceromony. However, the fingerprints on the winner award matched with Utagawa's. This means that it was the real CEO who attended the ceremony.
Conan thinks there's more behind this case, and finally discovers a shocking truth.
