Case

Situation

Part 1

Thanks to Kogoro, he overslept and made Ran and Conan miss their boat while they were on vacation. Luckily, the island happen to be where the Hatamoto family have their weddings, and when their were just leaving the island, the passengers of a nearby boat noticed them and picked them up. However, trouble strikes when the clan leader Gozo Hatamoto is found murdered.

Murder

EP22-23a Case.jpg

Location: Gozo's room in the Hatamoto Family Cruise Boat
Victim: Gozo Hatamoto
Cause of death: Stab wound
Suspects: Takeshi Hatamoto
After confronting Takeshi on his heritage, Gozo never showed up for dinner. The butler Suzuki went to his room, unlocked the door, and found Gozo dead from a blade wound in his abdomen. However, the murder weapon was found in the room. Takeshi was suspected because his lapel flower was found in front of the door.

Takeshi Zaiki who just married Natsue Hatamoto is the prime suspect since his flower was found at the crime scene and Gozo was the reason that his father committed suicide. He is then locked in the storeroom. Later, Tatsuo Hatamoto is found murdered too and the storeroom door is unlocked, making it seem that Takeshi have escaped.

  • Resolution

    Manga to anime changes

    • In the manga, while waiting for Ichiro to return from the restroom, Joji Hatamoto comes up with a thought that the one who released Takeshi from the storeroom was the murdered Tatsuo Hatamoto. His theory: Upon learning that the entire inheritance was to be passed on to Natsue only, and not wanting to be cut off, Tatsuo released Takeshi and offered to help prove his innocence in return for a considerable share of the inheritance, and Takeshi, on the pretence of wanting to negotiate with him further, lured Tatsuo to the boat deck where he attacked him there. This is not depicted in the anime.
    • In the anime, there is an additional scene not depicted in the manga: After the case is solved, Natsue and Takeshi have a small talk on the boat deck in which Takeshi confessed that he did indeed intially joined the Hatamoto family for revenge, but abandoned his motive after realizing that he had developed genuine feelings for Natsue, and the two make up. Conan and Ran are shown overhearing the conversation.
    • In the manga, this marks the first case in which Conan uses the Stun-Gun Wristwatch to knock out Kogoro, as well as showing a flashback to Agasa presenting it to him. In the anime, Conan already had it since "Valentine Murder Case".
