Case

Situation

Part 1

A threatening letter signed "the Guardian of Time" warns that Rukako Hoshina, the mistress of a large mansion with a clock tower, will be murdered during her birthday party. Kogoro, Ran and Conan are invited to the party, and Kogoro is protecting the mistress as her bodyguard. At exactly 6:00 PM, as Rukako was blowing out the candles on her birthday cake, it appears that an unknown person stabbed her with an ice pick and fled from the balcony, but shoe prints and the murder weapon weren't found.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Conan deduces that Hoshina was stabbed with an umbrella, which fitted the description perfectly. A contraption on the mansion's clock tower set up by the culprit dragged the umbrella away and out of sight when it hit 6:00. The culprit is one of the party guests, Teigo Karube, who had designed this mansion and lost his clock technician friend four years ago. He reveals that the mistress treated the previous clock technician like trash and even threw away his beloved clock, so he killed her in order to avenge his friend.
