Conan Mobile Toilet Drowning Incident
The mobile toilet drowning incident in Detective Conan appears in TV episodes 744 - 745 (overseas split version episodes 797 - 798) titled 'The Suspect is Kyogoku Makoto'. Here is a detailed introduction to the incident:
Case Background: The毛利 (Mouri) group originally planned to go to Karuizawa to play tennis. However, the weather turned bad and it started to rain, so they changed their itinerary and went to an indoor bowling alley. Kyogoku Makoto misunderstood that Serena was a flirtatious man and had an argument with her. After that, he went to the car alone to take a nap. During this time, their friend Ma Zouri was found drowned in a public toilet.
Scene Situation: The victim was a strong and athletic PE teacher, yet he inexplicably drowned in a narrow mobile toilet. Strangely, there was no water at the scene, and the toilet was drafty with both the ventilation and drainage openings being unobstructed. On the surface, it seemed that there were no environmental conditions that could lead to drowning.
Investigation Process: Police Officer Sao initially cast suspicion on Kyogoku Makoto because Kyogoku had an argument with the victim before and even punched him. In addition, a mark similar to an electric baton burn was found on the victim's upper arm, which further deepened Sao's suspicion of Kyogoku. However, Serena believed that Kyogoku was so powerful that he didn't need to use an electric baton at all. After listening to Serena's opinion, Sao released Kyogoku.
Case Characteristics: This case is full of mysteries. The strong contrast between the place where the victim drowned and the fact that there was no water at the scene, as well as the unobstructed ventilation and drainage openings, ruled out some common means of committing the crime. The mark similar to an electric baton burn on the victim's body further complicated the direction of the case investigation, attracting the audience to follow Conan's footsteps to uncover the truth.
