Case

Situation

Part 1

Ran tells Kogoro that the butter sandwiches he ate were past their expiration date. She thinks that he is cheating when she notices that his desk is tidy and that he is dressed up. Conan tells her that it might be because Yoko is coming there as his client.

Yoko had come across a murder case while traveling to a villa in Karuizawa.

Victim: Nukiyasu Baba

Age: 46 years old

Time: Midnight

Cause of death: Blood loss due to arrow shot wound on the back

Suspects: Wanya Heijima, Fuugo Baba, and Himi Baba

Kogoro ends up with the stomach problems and head towards the toilet. Meanwhile, Wakita delivers the sushi and overhears the case from outside and shows interest of the case. Yoko also shows them the group photo of the four who were present with her that day. She mentions the past the brothers shared about playing card games in the attic, hiding from their strict parents. And also that Nukiyasu called his brother Fuugo Ace, despite him not being a pitcher in the past while Fuggo called Heijima the real Ace. She shows a photo of Hejima's sister, wearing long sleeves dress and sunglasses, who also went missing two years ago.
