    A Chance Meeting at the Beach

    Characters introduced

    File 972 - Encounter with Ripples

    Flashback ten years ago. Mary, Shuichi, Shukichi and Masumi are out on a beach in Japan. This is the first time Shuichi meets his little sister, Masumi. He shows a wound from a knife strike from Mary, due to a fight they had earlier that day. The reason for the fight was Shuichi's decison to join the FBI and see the truth behind the incident involving his father. He explains how he has found a good part-time job to live off on his own in America. Mary remarks how her husband told them in a mail to go to a safe country like Japan and think of him as dead as he got himself involved with some horrible people. Meanwhile, little Masumi tries her best to make Shuichi laugh. Upon Mary's remark to Masumi about getting chip salt under her nose, Yukiko, who is nearby, correctly deduces their home country, which is England. She enquires about having seen a little boy in green shorts, and moves ahead.

    Little Shinichi comes across the Akai family. He says Shuichi must be a pierrot, based on the bruise mark on his left wrist which is left by playing an accordian, and his left eye has a crying makeup (which actually is the bruise from the fight mentioned earlier). This makes Shuichi laugh. He confesses to having played the accordian at a bar on a request as a part time job. When he asks Shinichi who he is, he replies as 'Holmes' Apprentice'.

    Just then, they spot a car breaking the rails and jumping over a cliff into the sea water.

    File 973 - Investigator among Ripples

    Seeing the car drown, Shuichi plunges into the water towards it. He notices that the driver, not having put the seat belt on, died on hitting the water and the passenger side window is fully open. He brings up the dead driver of the car to the shore along with a bag full of watches left on the backseat. He then tells Shinichi to go at the store selling swimsuits and look for any one dripping wet. He makes Ran tell Yukiko to call the police, and Masumi to ask the parking lot staff to look for any soaking wet person leaving the beach.

    Shuichi remarks to the police about there being another person escaped from the drowning car, and since blended in the crowd. He deduces that the driver and the missing companion are robbers responsible for the robbery theft of watches that happened earlier that day. Shinichi with the help of Shuichi gets three suspects to appear.

    Fukumzu Shigekatsu explains how he was pushed in the water by his girlfriend from a rubber boat. When he surfaced up, he found the wallet left on the boat. She left and he had to change into t-shirts and shorts at the store. Kitamori Yasue says her sandal's strap tore from swimming a lot in the sea, and thus she had to buy a new one at the store. She had left her wallet in a locker. Ooami Raiya tells he was robbed while he went to have a shower, and hence had to buy a shirt at the store. His wallet was safe, since he kept it among the bath towels while showering. He flaunts the two watches on his hands, one showing Japan time and the other showing New york.

    Yukiko calls Yusaku, who is at the hotel, and sends him the pictures of the suspects. Upon looking at it once, Yusaku sees through it all. At the beach, Shuichi also reaches the truth.

    Interchanged Betting Ticket Case

    Characters introduced

    File 975 - A True Tokyoite Detective!?

    Kogoro complains of having a bad day. He had to face rains without an umbrella after returning from the betting office, his favourite cigarette was sold out at the vending machine, he bumped into someone thus dropping all the coins from his wallet, and also his wallet fell in a puddle thus wetting the betting tickets. Conan points out that Kogoro has won that day's betting, which was hundred fold betting for 10,000 yen, and whose winning total thus amounts to 1 million yen. Ran remarks that he never buys tickets worth above 1,000 yen. Conan says he might have picked it up after bumping into someone back then. Kogoro decides to treat them sushi for supper.

    Wakita Kanekori, the waiter at the Iroha sushi, correctly deduces that Kogoro won that day's betting. He tells how he moves around places for work, as staying at one place isn't his style. He goes on to tell that having injured one eye, he is unable to help in the kitchen and is therefore ask to serve the tables. Conan wonders about Rum having an artificial eye. While the food is served, Wakita asks Kogoro to recite some of his cases.

    Another customer, Harashima Tsunetama, arrives. He orders superior nigirim chawan mushi and cola, a lot of gari and asks for the way to the bathroom. Another customer, Munechika Tameshige, orders limited salt-grilled sanma. Ashino Natsume, a regular customer, arrives soaked wet in rain. She orders her usual : highball, kaisen chiashi with a lot of salmon roe, wasabi and sea urchin. Just when they are done having their supper, a woman, Hijirisawa Suzuyo, enters the restaurant banging the door aside. She rushes straight to the bathroom, and comes out with a pouch. She demands who kept it there. She explains about getting pickpocket on the train and having tracked the pouch through GPS and followed it. She announces that the thief has her blood on their cuff, which was imparted while trying to grab them in the train. In response to which, all three of the customers show their cuffs, but none have any spots. She remarks that a 1 million yen betting ticket is stolen.

    File 976 - The Stolen Big-Winning Betting Ticket

    Hijirisawa recounts that she was on the train listening to the horse race on the radio. When she realised her betting ticket won, she exclaimed loudly to her friend next to her. Having heard her, the thief stole her pouch containing the ticket. She tried to grab the thief's sleeve, but only managed to get the blood from her injured finger on to it. She checks each one's sleeve and finds all of them wet. She mentions that she carried the betting ticket in her uninjured hand and thus should be free of any blood traces.

    Wakita challanges Kogoro in finding the thief first. Harashima tries to leave, saying he wants to watch his favourite show. Wakita remarks how he can afford the superior nigiri and not a recorder to record the show. This keeps him in check, and he returns back to his seat. Munechika wants to leave as well, as he gets a call from his wife. Wakita answers it with a lie, prolonging his stay. Munechika explains how he gets nervous infront of his wife's parents, whom he is supposed to meet later in a high class restaurant, and is not able to eat properly. Ashino says she can tag along, but will leave soon, as she is the winning bidder at an auction and must hurry up home to follow it on her pc. When Hijirisawa threatens to call the police, Wakita remarks it is not neccessary as he has seen through the case.

    Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case

    File 978 - Wakasa-sensei's Home

    A pro-golf player, Teigo Banno, and his girlfriend, Kurumi Iiyama, are having a fight outside his apartment. He wants to break up with her and move to Seattle, but she demands 100 million yen from him. They agree to discuss this later in the evening, and he promises to cook her favourite meal. When she is out of earshot, he mumbles about the meal being her last. Rumi Wakasa hears this and smiles.

    The class of 1-B are rehearsing for the play, in which Conan plays the lead role, Ikkyu, who goes up against a tiger. After the rehearsal, they start cleaning up the place. Rumi carries a bucket of black water to refill it, but slips on a newspaper and ends up spilling it on the painting of a tiger, which was to be used in the play the next day. Having painted it herself, she promises to repaint it again at her house. She worries she won't be able to get the tiger's height to match Conan's, and thus invites the Detective Boys at her place.

    Rumi lives in a condominium. While entering her room, they spot a effluent woman banging on the neighbouring door. Rumi remarks about not knowing the neighbours very well. After repainting the tiger, Rumi serves them omelete rice. While having the meal, they hear loud sounds from the neighbouring room. Genta rushes into the room to complain, followed by the others, and ends up coming across Teigo and Kurumi lying on the floor. Teigo wakes up from the commotion and is shocked to see Kurumi lying beside him, her head in a pool of blood. Conan explains Kurumi is dead, due to a blunt weapon having hit her head. Haibara points out to Teigo that the letters 'I love you' are written across his cheek in red. He picks up a photograph fallen beside him, which shows a white-skinned hand writing on his cheek when he had fallen unconscious.

    File 979 - A White-Handed Woman

    Teigo tells the police that a 'strange woman' visited him that evening, and knocked him out with a stun gun when he opened the door. He says, Kurumi then entered after some time, and the strange woman, still inside the room, hit her to death. Haibara points out that the hand in the photograph could be his own, but Teigo refutes this by showing the part of his hand raised above his shoulders. Mitsuhiko says he could have made Kurumi write on his cheek before killing her, but he refutes this also with another photograph in the same position, but having no letters written on his cheek. Teigo says the strange woman could be one of his weird fans that he acquired after winning a championship. He shouts angrily at Genta for touching his files on the lower shelf, but composes himself saying it took a long time to sort those out. Rumi tells the police what she overheard between the two of them in the morning. Conan remarks about the empty fridge and absence of any cooked food smell.

    Rumi and the kids head to her room. Upon learning that Genta's hand smells of cosmetics, Conan remarks that the culprit is the pro-golfer. He comes across a reciept under the carpet, which lists grocery items bought in bulk quantities. Conan asks why Rumi took so long to arrive at the school that morning, to which she replies about having gone for grocery shopping. Takagi explains that other people in the condominium also noticed the strange lady, and she is seen in the CCTV footage of the elevator. Conan gets the clue to the case, when he notices Genta getting tiger stripes imprinted on his cheek from falling asleep on the painting, and from Haibara's attempt to write on her cheek with a permanent marker.

A customer to their right, over hears their conversation and goes on to elaborate on the various bad happenings around the world in the past, and advises Heiji to avoid any confessions even in a country like Japan.

He places the bag on the sofa and heads to the restroom, complaining of his sick stomach. His teammates Yamashita Yui and Anzai Tengo later arrive. Anzai remarks how he can have fun with Yamashita all by herself, till her boyfriend arrives. Yamashita warns him to keep 'the secret', to which he replies it might slip unknowingly.
