Golden Apple Case
File 351 - Golden Apple 2
Sharon Vineyard speaks of her past filled with misfortunes, mentioning her daughter, Chris Vineyard. She reveals that Chris and her had fallen out, and haven't seen each other in over ten years as Chris had begun "hanging out with a bad crowd." Sharon escorts Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the dressing room to meet the cast: Lilas Sanchez, Rose Hewitt, Akane Neilson, and Iberis Hamilton. After brief introductions, Iberis mentions a mysterious gift sent to the actresses, a golden apple with the words "For the Fairest" written on it. Then, Heath Flockhart, the star actor, enters the room recommending to show their guests backstage.
While exploring the narrow gaps that make up the backstage, Ran notices the play's costumes hung up on the ceiling. Suddenly, a tether snaps causing a large armor piece to fall onto the group. Most manage to escape, but Rose's dress is caught on a sign. Seeing this, Ran rushes over and tackles her out of the way as the armor crashes onto the floor. Rose suspects that she's being targeted, stating that the prop mirror — which is the cast's lucky charm — must've given her the luck to survive. Sharon, however, points to Ran as Rose's savior. After Rose expresses her gratitude to her, Ran notices she's scraped her arm. Sharon hands her a handkerchief before leaving the set, saying that she has "something to take care of."
Yukiko and Ran enjoy the performance while Shinichi calls it cliche. He explains that the play is based on an ancient Greek myth where a festival is held on Mount Olympus where most of the Gods are invited. Eris, the Goddess of discord, however, is not invited. Angered, she throws a Golden Apple with the words "For the Fairest" into the crowd. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite see the apple challenging them to determine who the apple is for, letting a Trojan Prince decide. Shinichi explains that Lilas plays Hera, Akane plays Athena, and Rose plays Aphrodite with Iberis playing Eris and that in the end, it is Aphrodite who is chosen by the prince. Yukiko then states that this show is different from the Greek myth and that there is a twist at the end. Heath, who was playing the Trojan Prince, reveals himself as the Christian Archangel, Michael. Before Michael can reveal the answer to Eris' question, Shinichi notices a red beam of light coming from the audience and into the smokescreen shrouding the stage. Michael is then lifted into the air by the stage cables but to everyone's horror, he is shown dead.

Pandemonium ensues as Michael (played by Heath) is shot. Shinichi rushes up to the spectator box from which he sees the red beam of light. All that is left is a single bullet cartridge. Radish Redwood examines Heath's body, learning that he was shot at an angle of 40 degrees. Yukiko arrives, recounting the events of Heath's assassination to the police. Meanwhile, Shinichi pulls on Redwood's face to test if he's still a disguise worn by Sharon Vineyard.
Redwood discovers strange burn marks under Heath's neck, as well as smudged blood on Heath's hands despite there being no traces of him touching his bloodstained costume. With Yusaku unavailable, Ran entertains the idea of Shinichi solving the case, citing his contributions to the murder case on the airplane on the way to New York.[1] Hearing Ran's praise, Yukiko is surprised by her son's apparent proficiency at deduction. Shinichi concludes that the murderer is one of the four actresses on stage alongside Heath. The gun cartridge Shinichi had found in the spectator box wasn't hot, meaning it wasn't fired and instead placed there to throw off the investigation. Shinichi also says that the falling armor was likely not an accident as he found a cut on the floor as well as a segment of nylon string — the same type of nylon string found on the armor. Redwood and Yukiko then press Shinichi on how someone less than 6ft tall could shoot Heath from a higher angle, but Shinichi confesses that he hasn't figured that out yet.
Later, the four actresses are seen fidgeting with various items while arguing about their flings they each had with Heath. However, Yukiko reveals to Redwood and Ran that Iberis was Heath's wife but decided to keep it a secret from her colleagues.
Shinichi goes to investigate the mirror in which the murder took place. He asks Ran to hold up a pamphlet above her head to grasp Heath's height. Comparing the simulated height to the mirror's height, Shinichi notices that the all-important mirror has been truncated, leaving a visible mark on the glass. Shinichi goes around the back of the mirror and sees a feather from Heath's costume stuck on a grate that seemingly covers nothing. He lifts the grate to see two streaks of blood running across the floor.
