How did Kid know that Nakamori wouldn't be the first to check the tank? Still, this case made me laugh until I drooled.

What did Jirokichi mean by "Shirou's wee lass?" As for the log thing, you can kind of see it in page 4 of ch 829. As for the sign and the water line, if you're right, than the water volume rose for a short time during the exhibition. I have to say I don't think that had anything to do with the case.

It has been said many times before that she probably did not take APTX.

While I'm in the addictive mode and continually watch the series, I do it because it's exiting and I just love mysteries. But afterwards, I love thinking about each cases and engaging my brains on major things such as who Bourbon and Scar Akai is and other major things like that. I also like how Conan has to deal with being the cruel bringer of justice. At the end of the Gomera case, while he was expected to be thanked, he was told that not everything is black and white. Most people, not just the murderers, of the series would say the same thing. Conan is never allowed to side with the criminal but sometimes he can't help but feeling sorry for the criminals which can be hard. Even Sherlock Holmes let a murderer get away once and concealed the truth about her identity. Conan, being a Sherlock fan and through experience, would understand how he felt. He realizes that the world is not black and white but at the same time, he is fighting something that is completely black: The BO. This organization causes the blackness of one's heart to be in the dark society. As Gin said, "Mixing black with black will only get you black." However, there is "white" as well. Ran's pure heart for all people lets Conan see good in people as well because as she represents, there's good in everyone. Some people see this as weakness but in reality, this makes them strong (which metaphoracally explains Ran's karate). Perhaps this is why Conan tries to make the criminals realize that what they were dong were wrong: while they'll never be cleansed of the blood they spilt, they can still redeem themselves. Ai is the exemplary. She has turned her back on the society of pure evil and has found her way to those will help her redeem herself. Although at first she was uncomfortable to accept Ran, she eventually accepts her and has time and time again redeemed herself. She has gone from a person willing to test drugs on live human beings, to a kind person willing to sacrifice herself for the safety of others. The thing she wants to protect them from is the pure blackness that may mean she doesn't want them to fall victims to society.

True, with what we've got now it seems that they are the same person. However, we don't know where Jodie got the fingerprint of Vermouth. It could have been forged to trick the FBI because that is very possible, especially with a big criminal organization. Forging fingerprint would be very useful to them in other ways as well.

Maybe Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are not the same person?? Has anyone thought of that possibility? I have for a long time now.

If Okiya is Boubon, then Ai would be dead by now since the BO knows what she looks like as a child and Bourbon is good at gathering informtion so I don't think that he's Okiya. Someone tell me if it's been said before but I don't think Okiya is Akai. If so, why did Ai try to look under Okiya's scarf? Most likely to check if there's anything on his neck and since she thought that he might be Akai at the time, I think it's safe to say that Akai has something like a scar on his neck but we clearly know that Okiya doesn't have anything on his neck as Sonoko and Ran confirmed. Shinichi has like 3 look-alikes in the series. I don't think it'd be that weird that Akai has one too.

Although I never cried, I was disturbed by the way that hunter killed a bear cub to lure his mother to kill her if that counts. It's funny how I feel bad when an animal dies and not when other 500 people die in the series.

I wonder why Yusaku's not in many of these lists. He's the best detective in DC and it's not even his profession. Probably because the real cases are too easy for him so he makes his own which makes him more arrogant than every other detectives combined. I love the way he mess with Conan.

If Kaito Kid could figure out that Conan's identity, then I think the FBI would definitely know too. Judging from how Jodie asked Vermouth why she called Conan Cool guy instead of Cool kid and asked why she was after Haibara when she was clearly can't be the person in the photo with the X across her face and asked why she didn't age, (If she knew that Shinichi shrunk, it wouldn't be too crazy that Vermouth deaged as well) by the end of the Vermouth arc, I think it's pretty clear that she doesn't know that they are the same person. However, she does know that Conan isn't an ordinary kid and neither does Kaito Kid. The FBI have more resources and reason to find out Conan's identity. It is possible that Aoko used her magic to figure out Conan's identity and told Kaito about it but I don't think he would believe her. Besides, he's a Shinichi look-alike, why can't there be another one?

If that's the case, can you explain why Kir warned Jodie about Bourbon and made it sound like he was a threat? I think the CIA would tell Kir if they sent a back up for her. Also, why would he tell the BO that Sherry is on that train and let them set up traps for her? Does he not value life? I think you got this idea from Gin calling Bourbon secretive but that isn't a good reason.

Why would the Boss of the Organization alow experiments to be done on his/her favorite? It also seem as if all of the members of the organization fear him to much to do it in secret so I say the theory of her aging being a result of experiments done to her is not likely. If she had plastic sergery and she really is about 45-60, then I feel sorry for Gin (even though he kind of deserves it for those of you who know what I'm talking about)
