Meitantei Conan

Synopsis

Okino Yoko is starring in a television drama and invites Kogoro, Ran, and Conan to watch the filming. They meet the TV cast: Nachi Shingo, Anzai Morio, Gondo Taketoshi, Mamegaki Taeko, Taeko's grandfather Kyusaku Mamegaki and Taeko's fiancé Shimazaki Yuji respectively. Later that night after production is done, Anzai Morio is found stabbed to death; his dying message in katakana spells "Komainu" (or Shrine God in the dub). Inspector Megure is called alongside Detective Takagi. Conan observes that some of the words are dry while others are wet. The dry strokes spell out "Nimaime" (Nachi Shingo), the name of one of the actors. Shingo confesses that he changed the message, but only to avoid suspicion. Conan further realizes that the name was altered before Shingo changed it. The real name is written under his. Kogoro is tranquilized and Conan reveals that Taeko killed Morio, who wrote her name. When her husband, Yuji, spotted the message while searching for her, he disguised himself as Morio and threw off his real time of death and changed Morio's message to frame Shingo. Taeko confesses, stating Morio had been blackmailing her. Back in the day, Taeko ran with Morio and his bandits. She told them about her grandfather's shrine, which they robbed, and the shrine's supervisor Sugiyama committed suicide.
