Case

Situation

Part 1

Kogoro Mouri was invited to make an introduction in an episode of a popular detective TV serial. The star of the show revealed himself to be very disagreeable with the rest of the cast, one of whom, Ruri Ujo turned out to be a fellow classmate of Kogoro when they were children. Ruri revealed to Ran and Conan who were present that she, Kogoro, and Kisaki, were classmates since kindergarten. Ran and Conan learned that the brainy Kisaki and the underachiever Kogoro seemed inexplicably drawn to each other, to quarrel. As the other classmates suspected, time showed that the arguments were intended to disguise their mutual attraction. The star challenged Kogoro to solve the mystery of the murder scene being filmed. To prevent Kogoro from embarrassing himself, Conan used the tranquilizer dart on Kogoro and cracked the puzzle with the clues present. During a break in the filming, the star was discovered with his throat slit, with Ruri over the body and her hands bloody.

Part 2

During a break in the filming, the star was discovered with his throat slit, with Ruri over the body and her hands bloody. No murder weapon could be found. The immediate suspects were members of the cast, including Ruri and the Nagumo father-son.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

While the police investigate, Kogoro takes Ruri to an empty room to talk with her, where he reveals that Akira Nagumo is the murderer and Ruri's biological father. Akira murdered Yoshiki in order to stop the public from finding out that he and Ruri are actually father and daughter which would cause a great scandal for her family. Ruri realized her father was the murderer upon accidentally seeing his reflection from a glass on the door (the door was opened by the crew members who exited the room) near the victim's room. She then diverted everyone else's attention to a trivial sighting of snowflakes outside the building.

Akira Nagumo slit Yoshiki's throat by using a box-cutter blade. It was speculated beforehand that none of the bladed objects at the filmset could be used as a weapon because all Luminol tests were negative and none of them (excluding the box cutter blade) are long enough to cause a 10 cm indentation. However, the blood splatter could be negated by wrapping the weapon using duct tape and the blade can be hidden by breaking it into tiny 2 cm pieces. Akira then hides the blade fragments in the interior of a lighter. The cotton inside the mechanism was removed and taped onto the floor along with the rest of the duct tape under the guise that the crew was making maintenance repairs at those taped locations. The evidence that seals his guilt is that he is the only person aside Mouri who would use a lighter as a hiding place having been a heavy smoker; it is further speculated that the crime was committed at the spur of the moment. Fingerprints of some sort will definitely be found upon further inspection.
