In episode 1113 of Detective Conan titled "Last Dinner For You," Kogoro Mouri, his daughter Ran, and Conan visit the restaurant Tarafuku, which promises a free drink to every guest. Upon their arrival, they notice a fire in the restaurant. After instructing Ran to call the fire department, Kogoro discovers the body of the head chef, Salerno Marcello, suggesting murder rather than an accident. The investigation reveals that Marcello was stabbed before the fire broke out, disproving the initial suspicion of a botched burglary.
Inspector Yuminaga and his team, which includes Kogoro, begin unraveling the complex web surrounding Marcello's death. The initial suspicions point to a burglary, but Kogoro introduces another scenario in which the perpetrator remained in the house longer than assumed. The investigation deepens with the introduction of the restaurant owner Kurasaka and his employees, shedding light on Marcello's character and his interactions with others.
The plot thickens with the arrival of Mariko, the owner's daughter and Marcello's assistant, and Arisa, Marcello's estranged wife. The narrative intertwines with a series of complicated details, including a suspiciously set table that suggests Marcello was preparing a special dinner, perhaps to reconcile with Arisa. However, Arisa reveals her strained relationship and her unawareness of the restaurant's location, casting doubt on her involvement.
As the investigation progresses, a multitude of personal relationships, secrets, and motives come to light. Initially, Akimura, a waiter, is suspected, but further clues point to a more complicated situation involving Marcello's private life, particularly his relationship with Mariko and his tumultuous marriage with Arisa.
The climax is reached when Conan and Kogoro reconstruct the final moments leading to Marcello's death, including the discovery of a ring hidden in a squid fritter—a crucial piece of evidence that directs suspicion toward Arisa. In a poignant final twist, it is revealed that Marcello himself tried to protect Arisa in his final moments, highlighting his complex emotions and the tragic end of his life.
