Case
Situation
After the dawn had faded and the jet-black had taken over the sky, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan were walking down a deserted street, grumbling that they had just completed a request concerning a lost cat. All of a sudden, they heard a high-pitched whistle out of nowhere, resonating the entire street in Haido City. When they got there to examine the circumstances, they saw a security guard lying on the pavement, struggling with weak vitality but still alive. Apparently, he fell off the big staircase that was above him. The security guard uttered "White clothes" repeatedly using his last breath, while using his finger to point at the pavement, which led towards the major avenue. Conan noticed that there were bloody footprints throughout the pavement that the security guard pointed at.

At the same time, Conan also heard a woman sobbing, which seemed to come from the top of the staircase. The police then arrived and found out that there was another person murdered on top of the staircase. The woman who was sobbing next to the corpse was the victim's wife, Keiko Yuki.

Hideto Yuki was the president of an IT company, and his IT company building was situated right behind the crime scene. Therefore, Sato deduced that Hideto was most likely killed when he was exiting his IT company building, as there was a platform in front of the building, followed by a huge staircase that led to the place where the IT company security guard Goro Nezu was murdered. Conan then scrutinised the crime scene meticulously and discovered that the blood stains ended abruptly and must have been splattered onto the culprit as well. Thus he turned his sight towards the victim's wife, Keiko, who had precisely a lot of blood stains on her clothes due to her first contact with the corpse and was wearing white clothes, just as the security guard Goro said before his death. The police discovered a stun gun, always carried by Hideto for self-defence, ditched among the blood stains, and judging by its voltage, it must have been used on the culprit once. After checking the situation at the top, everyone began to investigate the dead Goro at the bottom of the staircase. It happened to be the same knife that took away their lives, and when they looked closely, there were numerous cut wounds on Goro's chest, and that might be the result of his battle with the culprit. With regards to the bloody footprints, they extended towards the avenue. Sato once again deduced that the culprit might have escaped in that direction, switched their shoes, or fled in a vehicle.
