Case

Situation

Due to being chosen to participate as a baton twirler during the Grand Opening of the Beika Park's Flower Clock, Ayumi has been practicing her moves in front of the clock every morning. When she invites Conan and the others to watch, they witness a drunk man wandering around and generally being a nuisance. The next morning, the man is found dead, his head smashed on the stone number 6.

Accident?
	Location: Beika Park Victim: Shousaku Yoda Cause of death: Blunt force trauma Suspects: Kyouichirou Kawaguchi

During the investigation, the drunk man is revealed to be a local painter and a heavy boozer, Shousaku Yoda. He also knew a man with a grudge, Kyouichirou Kawaguchi. He claimed that the victim killed his girlfriend, and clearly stated he holds a grudge, but he also has an alibi.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Conan's investigation soon uncovers the alibi trick. Kawaguchi confined Yoda in the clock's utility room while he established his alibi. Then he came back, killed him, and cut Yoda's cheek on the clock hand, before leaving the corpse and escaping. He had used the giant clock’s hands as a means of travel, he stepped using them as a makeshift walkway to shorten the time of his travel.

The proof is the blood on the stone next to the #12 and the dying message in the utility room, clearly identifying Kyouichirou Kawaguchi as the culprit. Seeing all this evidence he breaks down in disbelief as he throws a fit stating that he thought his plan was foolproof.

The opening of the clock was pushed back a week, and it was a huge success with Ayumi giving a wonderful performance.
