Situation
A struggling artist named Daijirou Manaka is nearly killed by a falling I beam. While he's lying in the hospital Takagi and the Detective Boys go through his bag and find his license, a rope, a pair of gloves, and a suicide note. Daijirou wakes up and when Takagi asks him about the bag he claims to have amnesia, but Conan notices he is lying. Daijirou's only living relative is his uncle who has refused to help him unless he gives up on being an artist. Conan deduces that this caused a deep seated hatred for his uncle who he planned to kill while making it look like a suicide. Conan goes to Daijirou's uncle's mansion and finds out that he has secretly been buying Daijirou's paintings. He eventually convinces him to go and stop Daijirou from committing suicide. Daijirou finally realizes that his uncle does care about him.
