Case

Situation

Kogoro and Shiratori are invited somewhere in the mountains of Tokyo as guests to a wine appreciation party hosted by Murozo Honjo, a wine collector, in order to celebrate the 70th birthday of Shinya Hirose, a famous wine critic. While exploring the villa, Ran and Conan notice Honjo in an argument with Goro Akamaru, a wine critic. From afar, Conan witnesses Honjo smashing a brick into Akamaru's skull.

Attempted Murder
	Location: Outside of the villa Victim: Goro Akamaru Age: 50 years old Injury: Blunt force trauma Culprit: Murozo Honjo

Conan runs to their location but is unable to find evidence of the assault. While Conan investigates, he notices a thread in a barrel, and realizes Akamaru's body was stored there but had been moved to a different location so he would not be found. Conan realizes the only room he had not investigated is the wine storage room which is secured by a system requiring Honjo's fingerprint.

During the wine tasting ceremony, Honjo's prized wine has been found to had the dregs mixed with the wine, ruining the taste. Conan examines the bottle and finds a bloody fingerprint. This leads him to conclude that Akamaru regained consciousness while imprisoned in the wine cellar, and ruined Honjo's wine in an act of revenge. Since he hasn't returned, he's likely still trapped there. The question is, how to get into the wine cellar?

Quotes

Perhaps the true victim in this case might be the bottle whose taste was ruined when it got involved in the dirty infighting between humans... That bottle of wine.
(もしかしたら、この事件の本当の被害者は、人間の醜い争いに巻き込まれ、その味を怪我された、一本のワインかもしれない。)

—Conan Edogawa
