In episode 1117 of "Detective Conan" titled "Karate Teacher Mori Ran," Ran Mori temporarily steps in as a karate instructor at a dojo after the regular teacher, Goda Ryota, is injured. During her lesson, an unexpected power outage occurs, setting off a chain of events that unravels the mystery behind a murder.
The dojo owner, Momohara Noriyuki, is found dead by his business partner and fellow student, Namisugi Toru. The police, led by Inspector Megure and Detective Takagi, begin their investigation. They determine that Momohara was murdered near the entrance to his apartment and, after an autopsy, was moved to his office. An open safe and missing cash suggest a botched robbery.
Conan, who is present at the crime scene, observes and examines subtle clues, including a warm cup of coffee and certain traces on the floor. These observations lead him to conclude that the crime scene was staged.
Namisugi becomes a suspect when inconsistencies arise in his story. He had attempted to create an alibi by setting the coffee machine's timer to cut the power, knowing that Goda would reset it with a golf club and frame him for the murder. However, his plan is thwarted by unexpected factors, including Goda's injury and actions that did not align with Namisugi's predictions.
As the investigation progresses, it is revealed that Namisugi was the actual culprit, motivated by his resentment toward Momohara, whom he felt was being bullied and overworked. Additionally, it turns out that Goda had faked his injury to blackmail Momohara.
The episode concludes with the resolution of the murder case, Ran reflecting on her commitment to the children at the dojo, and a teaser for the next episode, which involves a mystery during a girls' trip.
