Episode 44: The Murder Case of the Three Hotta Brothers
This case made no sense. It’s called the case of the three Hotta brothers, but the Hotta brothers have nothing to do with any of it. Pretty much there’s an evil rich guy with three sons and an eldest daughter, and a gardener who makes bombs out of sulfur. The gardener put a bomb in a whiskey bottle in a wooden box and gave it to the evil rich guy as a present. We forget why Mouri, Ran, and Conan are even there, but their dinner is ruined because the evil rich guy gets super angry and flips the table over. Then he goes up to his room and gets blown up. It turns out the evil rich guy wouldn’t let the gardener’s son marry his eldest daughter, so the son committed suicide and the gardener took revenge. The eldest daughter kept a picture of the son in her gigantic diamond locket, and the third Hotta brother was kept in the basement just in case you were wondering.
Best Quotes:
Conan: (At the end of the episode) “Ryouji-san was kept in the basement.”
Mouri: “Why would I waste time looking for an iguana?!”
