Case

Situation

Part 1

Ran, Sonoko, and Conan attend a pottery class. Sonoko wants to make pottery for Makoto, while Ran wants to make some for Shinichi. A man is strangled to death with a necktie and found in a closet.

Murder
	Location: Pottery class Victim: Motoo Mino Cause of death: Strangulation Culprit: Muneyuki Mino

Conan knows who the culprit is, to the point of confronting the culprit when they're all alone, but still has no evidence. He tries to find evidence to prove it was him.

Part 2

It appeared that Kikuyo had a 10 million yen debt and needed the insurance money to pay it. So, the police staff and Muneyuki started accusing her and as she was about to be taken to the police station, Sonoko was stunned by Conan's stun watch and stopped them.

Resolution

After explaining the trick used and the evidence, Muneyuki Mino gave himself in. It turned out that during Christmas, while Muneyuki was cleaning the things of his late daughter, he found the broken box of the tie his daughter gave to Motoo, her husband. And when he went to the airport, wanting to give the tie to Motoo, instead of seeing a grieving man, he saw a cheerful man together with Kikuyo. Sonoko gives her pottery to Makoto, who doesn't know what it's supposed to be used for. Ran decides to not send Shinichi her pottery. Conan discovers it a few days later, where it says on the bottom "I will wait for you," with a heart next to it. This makes Conan happy for the rest of the day.
