A guy, who unintentionally caused the death of a vibrant life, has already paid the price for it.
As for this outcome, Senichi had already anticipated it when he decided to save this person with an air cushion.
He fell from the 21st floor, and even with Dr. Agasa's specially designed cushion below, there would still be injuries. This was his punishment for unintentionally endangering a life.
Unfortunately, this guy wasn't the world's son. If it were Conan jumping down from there, it would probably be just a scratch.
The will of the world is just so biased. There's no help for it, or rather, not having his head hit the cushion first was already fortunate.
What?
You're saying that if Conan didn't have time to throw down the soccer belt, wouldn't Takai be in trouble? In that case, wouldn't Senichi, to some extent, become a murderer?
Senichi stated that everything was under control, and there was no need to worry about such things.
Even if Conan didn't throw down the soccer belt in time, or if it was damaged due to the height, Senichi could still save the person.
Because in his hands, he also held a soccer belt.
That's right, when Haibara handed him slippers at the door, the somewhat confusing conversation between them was actually about Haibara helping Senichi prepare the "soccer belt."
As a scientist who frequently stayed at Dr. Agasa's house, even though her expertise was in medicine, she was still a top student.
Since Senichi, the one who owed her a favor, asked for help, Haibara naturally couldn't help but do her best.
Moreover, Dr. Agasa's production of the soccer belt wasn't too difficult a technique. Every time Conan used the soccer to kick the culprit, Haibara would help bring it back for repairs in Agasa's presence.
Later on, she would also help Conan replenish the soccer when going to school and bring it back.
Coupled with Dr. Agasa, the original inventor, being present to answer questions at any time and provide backup props.
Is it really difficult to make another "soccer belt"?
Even if Senichi hardly used any other equipment of Conan's, Haibara would basically pack and arm Senichi with the props.
Nevertheless, even so, Haibara had transformed the soccer belt into a portable box shape, for Senichi to use as a cushion.
Although there was no anesthetic watch, that was only because Senichi's watch had too many functions, and it wasn't worth changing.
But even so, Senichi still got a portable miniaturized tranquilizer dart launcher.
Although it could only hold one dart, this tranquilizer dart was high-tech, and even after over a thousand episodes of fiercely stabbing Kogoro Mouri, it wouldn't cause any harm...
Senichi also suggested to Haibara to have both of them carry some. The sisters discussed and felt that it was a good self-defense tool, so they started researching how to carry it conveniently without attracting attention...
In any case, Conan's high-tech gadgets were already in Senichi's hands. Until Senichi obtains better replacements for similar items, he expressed that there's no distinction between yours and mine.
What's yours is mine, your gadgets, logistics, I have a share!
Without much ado, since Takai got his due punishment with this fall, the other person naturally had to pay the price for their actions.
Although Takai was seriously injured, he didn't injure his head after all. After some emergency treatment, he had a brief moment of consciousness.
Although Senichi and the others didn't see Takai, Chika Shimoda, the person who had been by his side, conveyed important information to Senichi.
After a brief moment of consciousness, he only uttered three words, "phone call, recording."
But with just these three words, Heiji Hattori and Conan had no place to use their skills.
The course of events and all the details became clear, and the method the culprit used to commit murder was also completely understood.
Because of the 21st-floor location, the mobile signal was consistently not very good.
And the victim had a habit of climbing from the bed to the balcony by flipping over the window.
Taking advantage of this habit, Kawakami set up this scheme.
While everyone was heavily drinking, Kawakami moved Takai's bed, originally facing the balcony window, to the side window without a guardrail.
After dinner, he and Nakamachi left. Shimoda, as the hostess, was responsible for seeing them off, while Takai, alone, went straight into the bedroom to sleep.
After parting ways, Kawakami called Takai, and then, during the call, pretended to have poor signal reception. The intoxicated Takai, who had the habit of flipping over the window to the balcony, in the dimly lit room, without any precautions, chose to flip over the window.
However, plans always have some deviations from reality. When Takai fell while flipping over the window, he actually had a moment of struggle. He grabbed onto the curtains inside the room.
Of course, this couldn't change the outcome of his fall, but it allowed him to record Kawakami's final words filled with murderous intent, preserving evidence of the culprit killing him.
After Takai briefly regained consciousness, he revealed this information to his girlfriend.
When Senichi and others arrived at the hospital and learned of this information from Shimoda, the case was essentially closed.
Listening to the recorded voice on the phone, Senichi immediately called Detective Shiratori, who was on his way to the crime scene, to arrest Kawakami.
With this solid evidence, the culprit had no room for denial.
As Senichi looked at the almost intact phone in his hand, he couldn't help but enter into contemplation.
This... feels like a damn phone marketing Ad!
Although the current situation was that Takai and his phone both landed on the football cushion without damage, Senichi remembered in the original plot... someone fell from the 21st floor, died, but the phone was unharmed...
So, was that phone made of titanium alloy steel plates or what!
Therefore, Senichi deeply suspected that Gosho Aoyama, the old thief, had some secret deals with phone manufacturers back then, secretly embedding phone advertisements.
Maybe that phone from back then was the latest model from a certain manufacturer...
Ahem, not mentioning Conan's "hardcore" evidence, after Senichi made the call and stayed at the hospital for a short time, he quickly received a call from Shiratori.
Kawakami had been arrested. Senichi informed Chika Shimoda of this news, and amidst her continuous gratitude, he, along with Heiji Hattori and Conan, left the hospital.
However, before Senichi could suggest inviting the two for a meal, Heiji Hattori received a call from Kazuha, so he hurriedly bidding farewell to the two and returned to Osaka.
Conan, after some consideration, also bid farewell to Senichi, preparing to go home and have dinner with Ran.
As for Senichi, he casually found a small restaurant, had a bowl of deluxe ramen, and then returned to his residence.
Needless to say, after the case, it was time for the customary rewards.
Even though Senichi was a bit uncertain about whether the handling of this case would reduce the rewards, the minimum would still be an excellent rating.
In that case, it's something to look forward to!
