Case

Situation

Part 1

Eri Kisaki is getting her hair done by her barber, Minayo Hasaka, prior to having dinner with Kogoro, Ran, and Conan that evening. Kogoro, who was on his way to pick up Eri, finds a dead body at a garbage collection point.

Murder
	Location: Garbage point Victim: Shiro Nagasaku Cause of death: Slit wound on the throat Culprit: Minayo Hasaka

The police arrive and Conan reveals that the victim, Shiro Nagasaku, was killed while receiving a hair cut as evidenced by the hair particles found mixed in his blood. Kogoro suspects Hasaka to be the murderer but Eri counters his accusations stating Hasaka only left her sights for a ten minute period during which Hasaka left to throw away the trash at a local convenience store. Eri stats that it would be impossible for Hasaka to carry a body to the bottom of a hill during that time period. During the investigation of Hasaka's salon, Conan notices that the back alley of Hasaka's salon is directly above the garbage collection point and the convenience store is in the opposite direction.

Part 2

The police confirm that Hasaka was at the convenience store during the ten minute period. Conan notices that there are strange scratch marks on the pole near the convenience store and the guard rail alley directly above the garbage collection point.

Conan realizes how the murder is done, tranquilizes Kogoro, and impersonates him using the voice changing bow tie. Conan reveals that Minayo Hasaka tied two strings to a chair with wheels; One short string looped around the guard rail and the longer string to the pole near the convenience store. They were then attached to her scooter and, using the force of her scooter, drives to the convenience store causing the string looped around the guardrail to retract and subsequently pulling the chair with enough speed to launch the body over the railing and into the garbage collection point. The longer string which is looped around the convenience store pole retracts the chair back to the Hasaka's beauty salon. Eri reveals that the trash bags Hasaka threw away would contain the weapon used for the murder. Hasaka confesses to the murder revealing that she hated the hair color Nagasaku changed to and since she promised to cut his hair forever, she didn't want to cut it anymore but don't want other to cut it so she murdered him.
