Case

Situation

Conan and Ran are at Sonoko’s place for her big sister, Ayako. Ayako is getting married so she’s there to meet her new dad-in-law. However, when they are at their house, they witness a murder outside in the rain. The victim is the dad-in-law, Tetsuharu Tomizawa. The killer at first looks like Ayako’s fiancé, but then they find out he's the younger of triplet sons, and nevermind their more or less different looks they all have the same eyes - the only part of the killer that Ayako, Sonoko, Ran and Conan saw. Which of the triplets is the real murderer: eldest son Taichi, second son Tatsuji, or youngest son Yuzo?

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Taichi Tomizawa. He was having a hard time writing a good novel so he decided the best way to do this was to live out a murder mystery. It didn't help that he and his father had a huge fight before the murder, in which Tomizawa Sr. threatened to disinherit him for not living up to the family name.

Manga to anime changes

• In the manga, Conan's second attempt to fire a tranquilizer dart at Sonoko is foiled by Ran who catches him behind the door, prompting him to get Ran and Sonoko to solve the mystery together. When his question fails to guide them in the right direction, Conan tries and succeeds at firing his dart. In the anime, he is successful on his second attempt.
