Yea I know, its been a bit and now you are wondering if I gave up on the blog. No, I got a new computer. Turns out that E machines is an AWFUL brand and so my PC died, and I lose everything. No joke. The motherboard caught fire and fried my hard drive too, so I even lost my files for the Case Closed Visual Novel. Ugh... so yea, that will be delayed until further notice! So... lets get on with the review. Also, as always, my reviews contain full spoilers, so if you choose to read on, don't blame me if I spoil it for you if you haven't watched this CC yet.
In this episode, a pop idol, Yoko Okino, arrives unexpectedly at Richards office requesting help. Turns out, a man is following her and breaking into her home, which is scaring Yoko to no end. They all go to her apartment and they come to the horrific (But not surprising), discovery of a body. Instantly, all eyes are on Yoko, where everyone, besides Richard (Due to him being the "Ladies Man" he is, he likes Yoko), and the investigation starts.
Eventually they find an earring under the couch and they find out it is not Yoko's, but instead, Yuko's, which is Yoko's rival.
Yuko arrives and now people start to think it was her, especially Richard. However, Conan still thinks different.
Eventually, Conan knocks Richard out and tells everyone using Richards voice the truth. Turns out, Yuko and Yoko look alike from the backside, and because of this, the man who was dead, actually attacked Yuko because he thought she was Yoko. Being rejected, he committed suicide, but purposely made it look like murder. So this means it was suicide, and everything was solved.
Later on, Rachel is walking Conan home and gets upset, worrying about the missing Jimmy, as she always will. (Curse you Jimmy!)
This episode was actually better than the previous two. It had an unexpected conclusion rather than the usual murdercase solved ending, and was actually a well planned suicide that was intended to look like murder.
As usual, leave your thoughts in the comments and I will attempt to get back to you! More reviews should be posted soon, as well as information about the delay of Case Closed Files.
The first two cases were too easy, though we had to get used to Jimmy's style. The third one, from episode 2, was obvious that there was more going.
ReplyDeleteAs for this episode, I think it was where the show got interesting because of the things you mention.
