Case

Situation

Part 1

Eisuke returns to school and Ran and Sonoko take him to karaoke to celebrate his return. Conan notices that there is a strange man following them and presumes he is an FBI agent sent to keep an eye on Eisuke. While there, Eisuke disappears to the bathroom for a suspiciously long time, and returns with a horrified expression. Shortly after the strange man is found dead from repeated beatings to the head with a blunt weapon.

Murder

EP507-508 Case.jpg

Location: Karaoke Box
Victim: Tatsumi Moniwa
Age: 46 years old
Cause of death: Blunt force trauma
Suspects: Kyota Honma, Konji Arimoto, Kunio Tamai, and Eisuke Hondou
Eisuke Hondou is scared by seeing Tatsumi dead in the karoke box. He is the first discoverer and alerts the others.

Conan suspects Eisuke to be the murderer due to his strange behavior after returning from the bathroom. However, Eisuke explains that the reason he was so horrified was that while he was heading back to their karaoke room, he stumbled into the wrong room and found two men kissing. The other man whom he saw kissing is revealed to be a woman who looks masculine since she is a body builder. The woman gets mad over the mistake, while Arimoto seems more understanding over that someone could mistake her for a man. The police decide to interrogate the four suspects, including Eisuke, for the murder.

Part 2

The police search the rooms of the four suspects for the blunt weapon used to murder Tatsumi Moniwa. The pictures on Moniwa's cameras were developed revealing pictures of Sonoko. Conan realizes that the man is not an FBI but a stalker who was targeting Sonoko.

    Trivia

    • When decide to celebrate Hondou Eisuke return, Ran suggest a pastry shop front of station, probably she is refer to same pastry shop on The City Crows which locate in front of Beika station.
    • Ran, Sonoko, and Conan are seen at the karaoke box singing opening 20. As usual, Conan's hilariously awful singing made Ran and Sonoko speechless.
    • In this case, Eisuke reveals that he does not like sweet or spicy food.
    • In Clash of Red and Black, it was confirmed that Conan had Jodie's cell phone number, although near the end of that story arc, Jodie had to borrow Conan's phone since hers was not working well at the time, and in this case, Conan tried to call Jodie, but his replacement phone was not connecting to her phone, which goes to state, that her phone is still not working at optimum level.
    • This is the first time that Conan begins speaking in Sonoko's voice before he tranquilized her.
    • This case really makes Eisuke the second person to deduce Conan's identity, the first being Heiji Hattori in Holmes Freak Murder Case.
