Detective Conan - Episode 1108

The episode begins with the Detective Boys, including Conan, in a store where they are playing a collectible card game. Mitsuhiko shows a rare card, and the group discusses the popularity of collectible card games among adults. They notice a group of top players, including Nitta Tsukasa and Masaki Naoto, who are known for their skills in tournaments.

During their game, an argument breaks out between another player, Zaizen Daigo, and Masaki. Zaizen, who is known for using expensive and rare cards, is accused of cheating and blackmailed by Masaki. The situation escalates, but Nitta steps in to mediate. Zaizen goes to the bathroom and warns everyone not to touch his cards.

Suddenly, a loud noise and a fire alarm trigger panic, and everyone runs out of the store. After the chaos, Masaki is found dead, crushed by a toppled shelf. The police, including Inspector Chiba, arrive to investigate the case. At first, it appears to be an accident, but Conan notices a fresh scratch on the shelf, suggesting foul play.

Professor Agasa, who observed the incident, accuses Nitta of murdering Masaki. He explains that Nitta used a nylon string attached to his body to topple the shelf and create a distraction. After the shelf fell, Nitta killed Masaki in the ensuing chaos. Agasa's theory was confirmed when the analysis of blood spatter on Nitta's legs revealed that he was standing right next to Masaki when the blood sprayed, indicating he was the murderer.

Nitta confesses to the crime and reveals that he, too, had been blackmailed by Masaki for a serious crime he had committed. He felt trapped and saw murder as the only way out. The episode ends with the Detective Boys playing a different game, Menko, and Agasa joining in on the fun.
