===Re:Request to review===
Hi Tuan, thank you for telling me this. I will keep that in mind when writing down evidence that by it will lead to a deduction linking them together and I will make share to review my edits as well.

== Former discussion ==
Here are the list of messages that have been addressed. Any messages in the Discussion section that receive its reply will be moved to this section.

=== Some editing recommendations (and welcome to our wiki!) ===
-- Opened by [[User:AvidConanContributor]] --

Hello Tuan, and welcome to our (currently small) team of contributors! I saw your edits to [[The Secret's Afterimage|'''Episode 1161:''' The Secret's Afterimage]] and I've found a few things that you could improve on. The '''first''' is putting spoilers in spoiler boxes. Your resolution (shown below) reveals a major event of this episode that will make readers lose they're interest in watching the episode after reading the resolution, hence, a "spoiler." {{quote|The woman going with inspector Sawatari is Wani's girlfriends while Wani is also Sawatari's senpai, however, Wani has sacrificed in the event of the one-eyed flashback. Sawatari felt himself owning his senpai a lot, so he tried to help the woman to take what is destined to be her but currently not to due to his boyfriend's death, but he can't do that on his own due to the shop policy, so he ask her for help so the gift from Wani can be given to her. In the end, Megure decided to overlook this while him, Mori, Sawatari and Want's girlfriend burst into tear in memory of Wani}}
You can hide spoilers in spoiler box by putting the text in between <nowiki><spoiler></nowiki> and <nowiki></spoiler></nowiki> like this:
<pre><spoiler>The woman going with inspector Sawatari is Wani's girlfriends while Wani is also Sawatari's senpai, however, Wani has sacrificed in the event of the one-eyed flashback. Sawatari felt himself owning his senpai a lot, so he tried to help the woman to take what is destined to be her but currently not to due to his boyfriend's death, but he can't do that on his own due to the shop policy, so he ask her for help so the gift from Wani can be given to her. In the end, Megure decided to overlook this while him, Mori, Sawatari and Want's girlfriend burst into tear in memory of Wani</spoiler></pre>
Which gives you this (click on the Show spoilers link to read the hidden text):
<spoiler>The woman going with inspector Sawatari is Wani's girlfriends while Wani is also Sawatari's senpai, however, Wani has sacrificed in the event of the one-eyed flashback. Sawatari felt himself owning his senpai a lot, so he tried to help the woman to take what is destined to be her but currently not to due to his boyfriend's death, but he can't do that on his own due to the shop policy, so he ask her for help so the gift from Wani can be given to her. In the end, Megure decided to overlook this while him, Mori, Sawatari and Want's girlfriend burst into tear in memory of Wani</spoiler>

A second thing I'd like to note, and may need more effort to work on, is grammar and spelling issues. While it is not always possible to be 100% writing error-free the first time around, using software like Google Docs and Microsoft Word can help point out these errors. Rereading your writing will also help in finding these errors. A wiki with lots of writing errors is considered low-quality and readers will stay away from those sites, but as contributors of this wiki, we're on a mission to prevent that and create the best wiki possible.

And with that, I'd like to once again, unofficially, welcome to you that mission. Hope to see the improvement in your edits very soon! --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 20:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Tuan here, sorry not recieving the message til now (6th May 2025, 8:38 , UTC) I've Almost Never Notice About Coding In This Page But Glad To Recieve Extra Help And Improvement Suggestions! I Tried To Rewrite The Setences Correctly But Don't Actually Know How To Use The GG Doc Or Word To Find Errors, While Sometime My English Isn't Englishing (Working Properly) , I'll Get To Fix As Soon As I Get Extra Notification Or When I'm Fully Aware Of Grammarly While Editing, Which May Take Extra Time. Thank You For The Suggestions --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 20:41, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hello again! It's okay if you're not feeling confident about writing correct English; we have other tasks that are just as important, such as uploading images, creating new pages for the latest chapters/episodes, and, more recently, maintaining the [[Yaiba: Samurai Legend|Yaiba]] area of our wiki. If I were to suggest the easiest out of all of these, for a beginner, is uploading the image for the latest episode. As of now [[:File:TV_Episode_1161.jpg|TV_Episode_1161.jpg]] has not been uploaded yet, so you can try that out first. Remember that the image:
:* Must not be stretched or compressed
:* Has no watermarks (See the first few sentences of the following website for a quick summary of what watermarks are: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/digital-watermarking-and-its-types/)
:* Is able to represent the episode (You can see other episode images for an example)
:--[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:16, 7 May 2025 (UTC) P.S. Always attach <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your talk page messages to create a signature.

::Hello again! I can only contribute as a casual viewers as i don't have too much sense of the TV show completely, so i'd be here to add some summary of which i can ever understand (Check : Yuya Kazami Non-canon appearance movie 25), so most of the contribution is still up to you and the team itself --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 07:22, 7 May 2025 (UTC) P.S : I'm on my way to add episode summary for missing episode whenever it's possible, no spoiler on the resolution.

::If you want to write plot summaries, then you are welcome to, but they do require a lot more detail than the detail you had in your first attempt at writing an episode summary. Try going to edit [[The Secret's Afterimage]] and you will see that I have started a partial plot summary, which is currently being hidden as a comment. You can use that as a reference for how detailed the summary should be. Tip: Comments are surrounded by <nowiki></nowiki> in the editor. The text in a comment does not appear when published.Happy editing! --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:05, 8 May 2025 (UTC) P.S. On talk pages, to indicate a reply to a certain message, put a colon before your message to indent it. You can use multiple colons to indent it further (e.g., a reply of a reply needs two colons, a reply of a reply of a reply requires three colons, and so on). Note that this only works if you put the colon at the start of a line.

::My summary seems to be not the best one (i also checked whether the summary has grammar issue of not), though i'd try more on these but not many is having that much time for this nowaday, huh ?

::: Your summaries on the [[Season 30]] are '''''far''''' from being the worst, though honestly, more work needs to be done to improve the grammar on them. Even though something might not have a lot of people working on it, that doesn't mean '''you''' can't work on it. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:22, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

::: I just saw sth after coding for the next episode , Now i can create an episode seasonItem and put it in correctly, see : edit page since it is hidden (and may not be fully correct guess) --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 10:34, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

=== Important advice ===

-- Opened by [[User:AvidConanContributor]] --

Hello Tuan, I will get straight to the point: your recent writings have gone below the standards for the wiki. I’m sorry to be abrupt about this, but in the best interest of the wiki, I would like to '''strongly advise''' that you should stop writing until you can improve your English. To reassure you, this is not a ban—you are not going to lose your account or anything, this is just user-to-user advice. More importantly, even though you have stated that you are only a “casual viewer,” that does not mean you are limited to writing. There’s much more on this wiki that you can do, and I’d like for us to start discussing what should be your next step for contributing to this wiki, besides writing. Regards. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 16:56, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

: Hello Avid, Sorry If It Was Slightly Late. Took A While To Actually Recieve This.
Not Just My English Tho, It Also My Narrating Stuff Isn't Seem To Be Good As Well. I Did Try With Adding A Box (You May Have Noticed When Editing Season 30 - Or Probably Deleted)... So Let's Get Back To The Contribution As No One Seem To Do Summary For The Recent 6 Seasons (Which Is Quite A Lot, I Even Rushed Sometimes Which Lead To '''Trys''' (the Right One Turn Out To Be '''Tries''' , Somehow I Got It With '''Tried'''). Ok So Narrating Isn't My Best, Still Should I Kept My Future Summary As Hidden So Someone Can Work On It Later ?

:: Well, since your summaries are basically finished (just a bit low on quality), I wouldn't recommend hiding them necessarily. But definitely, let's change to contributing something else. First and foremost, what would '''you''' like to do? --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 19:05, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

::I hid summary for the upcoming 1164 , 971-974, though. I'm currently wanting to fill the season 25-29 summaries for now tho. Structuring the box does take a bit too long for me tho (1164 - source), probably adding content for the next time when i arrives, i have something to read. --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 11:36, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

::So it seems you are still committed to writing summaries? Let's hold off from writing for season 25-29 and stick to writing for the latest episode (it will be easier to manage). If all else fails, we can try something else. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 21:07, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Or probably which episode that i've recently watched, which might be easier to manage... well, not episode summary, sometimes, character appearance (Yuza Kazami , Too Long Ago). Surely we can try something else when it won't work but will s25 - s29 summary will be completed tho ? --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 13:09, 26 May 2025 (UTC) ,

::: To be honest, there's a lot more stuff on the wiki that is incomplete, and when you realize that, completing S25-S29 summaries won't be the main focus. The real main focus is to contribute in the best way possible, not to contribute to everything possible (the latter of which leads to lower quality edits). --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 17:32, 26 May 2025 (UTC).

::: Yeah , I Went Away Just To Have Rest Tho... S25-29 Isn't The Main Focus Tho... Summer Should Come And I SHould Have More Time For That , For Now , Wait For The Chess Tournament Murder case --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 05:58, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

::::Wait , Avid, Does Episode Title Need All Capitalization Like This Statement I'm Asking ? --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 03:56, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:::: To be honest, our wiki is really inconsistent with this, but I'd suggest using [[Wikipedia:title case|title case]] --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 03:59, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
:::: And also, congrats for finding something to contribute that actually suits your strengths! --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:00, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

::::Well since i have time in my summer vacation, so i'd have more time to focus on finishing those - and also season 29 if i watch conan tho

:::: À, và còn một điều nữa: các tựa tiếng Việt mà bạn thay thế có phải từ những nguồn chính thức không? (I used a machine translator for this, hehe) --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:05, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:::: POPS là công ty mua bản quyền phát hành Conan tại Việt Nam Á Bạn Nên Tựa Đề Là Của Bên POPS , Nên Sẽ Có 1 Số Nó Khá Buồn Cười - Xin Lỗi Nha , Người Ngoài Hành Tinh Tốt Bụng) , Tuy nhiên 1 số từ khá lắt léo để tui dịch nên thường sẽ bỏ qua tập đó hoặc máy dịch
POPS is the company that bought the copyright and publish Conan in Vietnam (Currently , it's from ep 1 to 920 int, coincide before the betryal's stage) , Some title are funny , some are a bit difficult to translate, even with machine , so i skip it (the 920 int is an example)

:::: Tôi cũng biết POPS là đơn vị nắm giữ bản quyền tại Việt Nam, chỉ xác nhận lại thôi. Còn về việc sử dụng ngôn ngữ nào để viết (tiếng Anh/tiếng Việt), hãy sử dụng ngôn ngữ mà bạn thấy thoải mái (khuyến khích sử dụng tiếng Anh). Nếu bạn chọn tiếng Việt, thì tôi chắc chắn 99% rằng chỉ có tôi mới hiểu được trong số những người đóng góp thường xuyên còn lại. '''English:''' I already know that POPS is the copyright holder for Vietnam, just confirming. And about using which language to communicate (English/Vietnamese), you should use the language you are comfortable with (English is recommended). If you choose Vietnamese, then I'm 99% sure that I will be the only one that can understand out of the rest of the regular contributors. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:18, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:::: Khá chắc là 1 số tựa đề của Pops Thay Đổi Phải Khiến Bạn Bật Ngửa Vì Độ Hài Hước Của Nó.

And You Probably The Only To Give Message In The Comunity Or Notice My Edit (Unless I Make Extremely Bad One Like Vodka Doing Gun shot)

:::: Thật sự ra thì POPS đã dịch tập 920 int một cách chính xác nhất có thể rồi... Còn về việc tôi để ý những edit của bạn thì đó đối với tôi là một chuyện bình thường khi có quá ít người đồng góp vào wiki này (so với những wiki khác) '''English:''' Actually, POPS has made the best translation possible for ep 920 int... And about my interest in your edits, I view that as something normal with the lacking amount of contributors on this wiki (compared with other wikis) --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:38, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Your season summaries could use some cleanup...some sentences are too long and separated with many commas, which makes it hard to read, like this sentence which I am exaggerating, but I hope this serves as a clear example, and also, I would usually never write like this, but again, it's length is for the sake of example. As for the episode name translations, they were fine to start with, but I just wanted to make some tweaks here and there. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:37, 3 June 2025 (UTC) P.S. Yes, I am dropping the Vietnamese because it takes too long (hehe)...

You Know Why Summary Haven't Been Made Starting From The End Of 2019 (Around Episode 960) Until When I Joined In To Do The Summary Avico ? Or Is It Became So Much Tiring To Do That ? '''vietnamese''' : Ông có biết tại sao tóm tắt tập phim ko còn xuất hiện kể từ cuối năm 2019 cho đến khi tui tham gia và bắt đầu từ tập dư ảnh của bí ẩn ko Avico ? Hay do là làm tóm tắt tập phim có thể thực sự gây mệt mỏi rất nhiều ?--[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 04:33, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Xưng ho bằng "bạn" thời...chứ "ông" thì lại giảm thọ quả haha. Theo tôi được biết thì lượng người đồng góp đã giảm rất nhiều so với hồi trước, nhưng tôi thì cũng ko biết chính xác là lúc nào. Có lẽ thời gian đó rơi vào khoảng năm 2019 dựa vào lúc các tóm tắt tập trong mùa bị ngưng viết. Cũng ko phải là mệt nhọc gì đâu, chỉ là thiểu người làm thôi. '''English:''' Rather call me by "bạn"..."ông" makes me feel way too old haha. As far as I know, the number of contributors has decreased quite a lot compared to the past, though I don't know exactly when. It seems that the specific timeframe for that is indicated by when the contributors stopped writing summaries for the season's episodes. It isn't really tiring to write, there's just so few people to write it. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:49, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Ah I Just Tried On The Ep 966-968 Just Now And End Up Somewhat Tiring When Trying To Make Them... Make Sense (Involved A Former Robbery, Stuff And What Just Happen) , Probably I Focused A Bit Too Hard hehe. maybe If I Do That Tho.. S25 might Get Completed Tho. '''Vietnamese''' Có Lẽ Xưng Hô vậy Cx Ko Quen Nhỉ , Chc Cứ Bình Thường Đi , Ko Giảm Thọ Nhau Nx. Nãy Mới Làm Quả Tập 966-968 Và Hơi Mệt Trong Việc Làm Nó...

:Tui mới tạo ra khung nội dung mới ở dưới Để dễ tìm nếu đang cần nói về tóm tắt tập (nếu tui có viết gì đó sai, vd thì thay tính logic, tập gần đây tui thêm tóm tắt vào nó.. ngắn củn) '''English''' I just made a new chatbox under for anyone who want to discuss with me about episode summary (if it went wrong tho, the recent summary i made seems... shorter than my usual)

=== RE: About contributor stuff ===

-- Replied by [[User:AvidConanContributor]] --

Xin lỗi nha! Hôm qua tôi lại rời xa máy tính và không thấy tin nhắn của bạn. Nói về tiến độ viết của bạn thì là rất tốt, còn về chuyện mà một số cải tóm tắt mà dài hơn hoặc ngắn hơn những tóm tắt khác thì cũng không sao. Bạn có thể dùng các tóm tắt của những mùa đầu tiên (được viết bởi những người đóng góp khá tốt) để làm thành tiêu chuẩn viết của bạn. '''English:''' Sorry! I was away from my computer yesterday and didn't see your message. Your writing progress is very good, and even though some of your summaries are shorter or longer than others, that's still acceptable. You can use summaries of the earlier seasons (written by some of our best contributors) to use as your writing standard. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 23:27, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Ko sao! Mà tuần trước tui cũng rời xa máy tính gần 1 tuần vì việc riêng mà hehe. Sáng nãy tui mới để ý với phần chỉnh sửa của người khác về mùa 25 mới thấy có mấy lỗi mà gg doc cũng ko thể phát hiện được (nó giúp lỗi chính tả và thời gian sự kiện hơn), ôi trời! Mà có lẽ sẽ ổn với tóm tắt vì tui xài tới 2-3 kiểu viết khi viết tóm tắt riêng biệt nhau (câu hỏi cuối mục, nói diễn biến bình thường, có lẽ còn giới thiệu nhanh là chưa có hehe). '''English''' It's okay! Btw, last week i went off from the computer for precular circumstances for almost a week. Few hours ago (I should've sleep hehe) i notices the edit even the gg doc can't help fixxing it (It can only do the dictation and time of the event) made by another user, oh my! For summaries, probably ok to use 2-3 different writting on seperate episode (end question, normal telling, probably quick note isn't there hehe).

end question example : who could've done such a thing / will they stop the horrendous explosion from happening ?

-- Replied by [[User:JayHas]] --

I know about writing my topics and statements with English language. I'm sorry I just wanted to make the proper words and statements without difficulties for the readers.
—-[[User:JayHas|JayHas]] ([[User talk:JayHas|talk]]) 10:41, 14 Dec 2025 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, your words are just not with you, as:
* Your edits are most of the time questionable, as some trim you made, '''make no sense'''. Take [[The Interrogation Room 3]] as an example, the animation has already mentioned that the one who killed the 45 yrs old man tried to escape in a motorcycle and hit the cafe maid in the process, so there is no reason to mark the culprit as '''unknown'''. Another example is [[It's a Ghost!]], the '''cause''' of injury is '''fell from high place''' while it would leave you an injury like: '''twisted ankle''' or '''broken arm''' - I take this from a wiki user who's been here longer than me (and has more experience)

* The statement "I know about writing my topics and statements with English language." from you feels off in a conversation because it shows that you are insecure instead (too harsh, i might think).

* If you don't understand what i mean in the second example, here's an easier thing: Between staff of death, or death's staff, what '''death''' would point '''a person''' (or a mystical creature, you get what i mean)?

Hello Tuan this is AllB33 here to discuss the revisions that you did on the '''Pet Dog John Murder Case''' episode. While I understand that I am new to this wiki
and have a lot to understand the reason I join this wiki in the first place is to ensure that pages that have episodes from the anime from the past are given the attention (which was one of the reasons that I join the wiki) while I have left some of them incomplete, I was hoping that uses like yourself will help finishing it. I am sorry that if I offended you in any way do to the ''meaningless words'' that that I add to the page. If there is a place that I need to go before editing the pages then tell me.

::Hello again! I can only contribute as a casual viewers as i don't have too much sense of the TV show completely, so i'd be here to add some summary of which i can ever understand (Check : Yuya Kazami Non-canon appearance movie 25), so most of the contribution is still up to you and the team itself --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 07:22, 7 May 2025 (UTC) P.S : I'm on my way to add episode summary for missing episode whenever it's possible, no spoiler on the resolution.

::If you want to write plot summaries, then you are welcome to, but they do require a lot more detail than the detail you had in your first attempt at writing an episode summary.

::My summary seems to be not the best one (i also checked whether the summary has grammar issue of not), though i'd try more on these but not many is having that much time for this nowaday, huh ?

::: Your summaries on the [[Season 30]] are '''''far''''' from being the worst, though honestly, more work needs to be done to improve the grammar on them.

=== Important advice ===

-- Opened by [[User:AvidConanContributor]] --

Hello Tuan, I will get straight to the point: your recent writings have gone below the standards for the wiki. I’m sorry to be abrupt about this, but in the best interest of the wiki, I would like to '''strongly advise''' that you should stop writing until you can improve your English. To reassure you, this is not a ban—you are not going to lose your account or anything, this is just user-to-user advice. More importantly, even though you have stated that you are only a “casual viewer,” that does not mean you are limited to writing. There’s much more on this wiki that you can do, and I’d like for us to start discussing what should be your next step for contributing to this wiki, besides writing. Regards. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 16:56, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

: Hello Avid, Sorry If It Was Slightly Late. Took A While To Actually Recieve This.
Not Just My English Tho, It Also My Narrating Stuff Isn't Seem To Be Good As Well. I Did Try With Adding A Box (You May Have Noticed When Editing Season 30 - Or Probably Deleted)... So Let's Get Back To The Contribution As No One Seem To Do Summary For The Recent 6 Seasons (Which Is Quite A Lot, I Even Rushed Sometimes Which Lead To '''Trys''' (the Right One Turn Out To Be '''Tries''' , Somehow I Got It With '''Tried'''). Ok So Narrating Isn't My Best, Still Should I Kept My Future Summary As Hidden So Someone Can Work On It Later ?

:: Well, since your summaries are basically finished (just a bit low on quality), I wouldn't recommend hiding them necessarily. But definitely, let's change to contributing something else. First and foremost, what would '''you''' like to do? --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 19:05, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

::I hid summary for the upcoming 1164 , 971-974, though. I'm currently wanting to fill the season 25-29 summaries for now tho. Structuring the box does take a bit too long for me tho (1164 - source), probably adding content for the next time when i arrives, i have something to read. --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 11:36, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

::So it seems you are still committed to writing summaries? Let's hold off from writing for season 25-29 and stick to writing for the latest episode (it will be easier to manage). If all else fails, we can try something else. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 21:07, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Or probably which episode that i've recently watched, which might be easier to manage... well, not episode summary, sometimes, character appearance (Yuza Kazami , Too Long Ago). Surely we can try something else when it won't work but will s25 - s29 summary will be completed tho ? --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 13:09, 26 May 2025 (UTC) ,

::: To be honest, there's a lot more stuff on the wiki that is incomplete, and when you realize that, completing S25-S29 summaries won't be the main focus. The real main focus is to contribute in the best way possible, not to contribute to everything possible (the latter of which leads to lower quality edits). --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 17:32, 26 May 2025 (UTC).

::: Yeah , I Went Away Just To Have Rest Tho... S25-29 Isn't The Main Focus Tho... Summer Should Come And I SHould Have More Time For That , For Now , Wait For The Chess Tournament Murder case --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 05:58, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

Your season summaries could use some cleanup...some sentences are too long and separated with many commas, which makes it hard to read, like this sentence which I am exaggerating, but I hope this serves as a clear example, and also, I would usually never write like this, but again, it's length is for the sake of example. As for the episode name translations, they were fine to start with, but I just wanted to make some tweaks here and there. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:37, 3 June 2025 (UTC) P.S.

Xưng ho bằng "bạn" thời...chứ "ông" thì lại giảm thọ quả haha. Theo tôi được biết thì lượng người đồng góp đã giảm rất nhiều so với hồi trước, nhưng tôi thì cũng ko biết chính xác là lúc nào. Có lẽ thời gian đó rơi vào khoảng năm 2019 dựa vào lúc các tóm tắt tập trong mùa bị ngưng viết. Cũng ko phải là mệt nhọc gì đâu, chỉ là thiểu người làm thôi. '''English:''' Rather call me by "bạn"..."ông" makes me feel way too old haha. As far as I know, the number of contributors has decreased quite a lot compared to the past, though I don't know exactly when. It seems that the specific timeframe for that is indicated by when the contributors stopped writing summaries for the season's episodes. It isn't really tiring to write, there's just so few people to write it. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:49, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

-- Replied by [[User:AvidConanContributor]] --

Xin lỗi nha! Hôm qua tôi lại rời xa máy tính và không thấy tin nhắn của bạn. Nói về tiến độ viết của bạn thì là rất tốt, còn về chuyện mà một số cải tóm tắt mà dài hơn hoặc ngắn hơn những tóm tắt khác thì cũng không sao. Bạn có thể dùng các tóm tắt của những mùa đầu tiên (được viết bởi những người đóng góp khá tốt) để làm thành tiêu chuẩn viết của bạn. '''English:''' Sorry! I was away from my computer yesterday and didn't see your message. Your writing progress is very good, and even though some of your summaries are shorter or longer than others, that's still acceptable. You can use summaries of the earlier seasons (written by some of our best contributors) to use as your writing standard. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 23:27, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Ko sao! Mà tuần trước tui cũng rời xa máy tính gần 1 tuần vì việc riêng mà hehe. Sáng nãy tui mới để ý với phần chỉnh sửa của người khác về mùa 25 mới thấy có mấy lỗi mà gg doc cũng ko thể phát hiện được (nó giúp lỗi chính tả và thời gian sự kiện hơn), ôi trời! Mà có lẽ sẽ ổn với tóm tắt vì tui xài tới 2-3 kiểu viết khi viết tóm tắt riêng biệt nhau (câu hỏi cuối mục, nói diễn biến bình thường, có lẽ còn giới thiệu nhanh là chưa có hehe). '''English''' It's okay! Btw, last week i went off from the computer for precular circumstances for almost a week. Few hours ago (I should've sleep hehe) i notices the edit even the gg doc can't help fixxing it (It can only do the dictation and time of the event) made by another user, oh my! For summaries, probably ok to use 2-3 different writting on seperate episode (end question, normal telling, probably quick note isn't there hehe).

end question example : who could've done such a thing / will they stop the horrendous explosion from happening ?

-- Replied by [[User:JayHas]] --

I know about writing my topics and statements with English language. I'm sorry I just wanted to make the proper words and statements without difficulties for the readers.
—-[[User:JayHas|JayHas]] ([[User talk:JayHas|talk]]) 10:41, 14 Dec 2025 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, your words are just not with you, as:
* Your edits are most of the time questionable, as some trim you made, '''make no sense'''. Take [[The Interrogation Room 3]] as an example, the animation has already mentioned that the one who killed the 45 yrs old man tried to escape in a motorcycle and hit the cafe maid in the process, so there is no reason to mark the culprit as '''unknown'''. Another example is [[It's a Ghost!]], the '''cause''' of injury is '''fell from high place''' while it would leave you an injury like: '''twisted ankle''' or '''broken arm''' - I take this from a wiki user who's been here longer than me (and has more experience)

* The statement "I know about writing my topics and statements with English language." from you feels off in a conversation because it shows that you are insecure instead (too harsh, i might think).

* If you don't understand what i mean in the second example, here's an easier thing: Between staff of death, or death's staff, what '''death''' would point '''a person''' (or a mystical creature, you get what i mean)?

Hello Tuan this is AllB33 here to discuss the revisions that you did on the '''Pet Dog John Murder Case''' episode. While I understand that I am new to this wiki
and have a lot to understand the reason I join this wiki in the first place is to ensure that pages that have episodes from the anime from the past are given the attention (which was one of the reasons that I join the wiki) while I have left some of them incomplete, I was hoping that uses like yourself will help finishing it. I am sorry that if I offended you in any way do to the ''meaningless words'' that that I add to the page. If there is a place that I need to go before editing the pages then tell me.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Shugo Matsui'''. Matsui had made the footprints in advance, putting the paint there and making it seem Adachi did. He had used only Gomera's feet, since there was no tail mark on the floor. He then took off the suit at the stairs, ran into a storage room downstairs and threw the costume out the window on fire. Adachi and Tomomi lied to cover up for him. The wound on his leg was faked at first, using studio blood. After the murder incident, he stabbed his own leg with a separate knife and hid it in the props box. To hide the sign of sweat, he changed shirts, which also had a spill of juice from Ayumi who spilled it on his shirt earlier.

* '''Motive'''
The news that Matsui was tired of playing Gomera and wanted to move onto other roles was a rumor spread by Kamei. Matsui was unaware of the rumor until he found out himself. Not wanting the final Gomera movie to be made, he killed Kamei.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Daisuke Mikami - Josh Listenburg
:* Ryota Adachi - Ramone Amberwitz
:* Shugo Matsui - Lester Higgins
:* Tonomi Sakaguchi - Tamera Heatherly
:* Osamu Kamei - Orville Kessle
* In the Funimation Dub, Conan/Jimmy narrates that the Gomera movie became a hit. And though Lester was sent to prison, he continues writing new Gomera movies under "A. Gomer".

== Remastered version ==
A remastered version of the episode aired on January 9, 2010.

== Trivia ==
* "Gomera" is a reference to Toho's Gozilla Kaiju franchise. The fairy that calms Gomera's rage is a reference to the twin fairies from Toho's Mothra series, in which Mothra becomes enraged whenever the fairies are threatened and only the fairies can calm Mothra.
* Another kaiju that possibly used as model is Gamera which has similar name and long lower canine. The name "Gomera" comes from replacing the "Ga" katakana in "Gamera" (ガ) with the "Go" katakana from Godzilla's Japanese name "Gojira" (ゴ) and both monster's names end in "ra" (ラ), thus making "Gomera" a portmanteau.
* This is the first case Conan solves using Agasa.
** In the set of episodes dubbed by Funimation, this is also the only case Agasa solves via Conan.
* The trick utilised in this case pays tribute to ''[[wikipedia:Death on the Nile|Death on the Nile]]'', a novel written by [[Agatha Christie]].

=== Situation ===
As Conan is waking form Agasa house he sees Kogoro following someone. When he asks, Kogoro sends Conan home for dinner. A few days later at the Akaoni Village Fire Festival a burnt body is found in the fire.

{{InfoBox Crime

}}

And when Kogoro finds out that the victim is the same man that he had been tailing for the past three days, he realizes that he has been had. The man who hired detective Mouri uses his testimony to create the perfect alibi. But Kogoro is sure that his client is the guilty one, and Conan agrees. Can Conan crack the case before this prime suspect leaves the country or will he get away with murder?

=== People ===

{{People|Yutaka Abe|Yutaka Abe.jpg|

* Company president
* Negishi's friend}}
{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Yutaka Abe'''. Yutaka's reason to kill his best friend is that he is on the verge of bankruptcy and he tricked the much richer Negishi to fall on his plan. He made a bet with a drunk Negishi that if he successfully went into hiding, Abe would give his life insurance policy to him. He betrayed Negishi, then commited the murder because he wanted to take the insurance.

Negishi really died on Tuesday night, the night before Yutaka left on his vacation in Kyushu. The next day, Yutaka had Kogoro follow a fake who looked like Negishi in order to make him think Negishi was alive through Wednesday night. Negishi is right-handed but the man on the photos is left-handed. This is the proof that the person Kogoro stalked is not Negishi but a different person.

Negishi's body was found on Thursday evening, during the famous fire festival. Yutaka carefully checked ahead of time to make sure the times matched. With the body burned by flames, it was impossible to find the exact time of death. This led to Kogoro to think that Negishi died from Wednesday night to Thursday night, when in fact, he really died on Tuesday evening. Then, Yutaka came back from his trip on Friday night acting innocent with his complete alibi. Kogoro is completely infuriated when he realizes that he had been lied to, but he can only prove that Yutaka tricked him into following a double, NOT that he is the criminal.

Yutaka's plan is to escape the country, going to [[Wikipedia: Seattle|Seattle]], taking Negishi's money with him. Fortunately, Conan confronts him for the murder before he escapes on an airplane and Conan manages to trick him and record him admitting the crime.

Conan then knocks him unconscious with a tire to the face. Conan also leaves the casette tape beside Yutaka so when the police find him, he will be arrested with sufficient evidence. Afterwards, the police arrests him together with Negishi's impersonator.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
A routine afternoon at the library turns into the hunt for a corpse after an attendant turns up missing. When Conan and the Detective Boys try to solve the mystery by staying after-hours, they find themselves trapped, in the dark, and not alone. Will they catch the killer before he catches them?

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>'''Shuji Tsugawa''' is the culprit and he hid the corpse on top of the elevator. Tamada discovered the illegal drugs hidden inside the fake books which meant Tsugawa was a drug dealer and that's why Tsugawa killed him to keep him quiet. After killing him Tsugawa threw his body down the elevator shaft causing him to land on top of the elevator, this would come back to bite him as Conan noticed that the elevator overweight alarm went off despite the elevator having enough room this was due to the corpse that was on top of the elevator.

The books with the drugs had no spine, so Tsugawa hid the books in the kids section creating three rows of books instead of two. As a result the books looked uneven and unaligned due to the one book pushing the other book out to the other side, because of the third additional row of books.

}}

After finishing the case, Conan walked back with the Detective Boys, thinking that should be his final case in Conan's form, as he will be drinking ''[[paikaru]]'' afterward and turning back to Shinichi Kudo permanently. However, a second round of Paikaru didn't work for him as Dr. Agasa explained that he had most likely built up an immunity against it, and the next day Conan appeared to be hung over in front of the Detective Boys.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* The police detective that appears during Megure's questioning of Tsugawa has Takagi's earlier character design, but he wasn't voiced by [[Wataru Takagi (voice actor)|Wataru Takagi]]. He was voiced by [[Isshin Chiba]] instead, who later would go on to inspire the creation of and provide the voice for [[Kazunobu Chiba]].
* A remastered version of this case was aired on March 15, 2014.
* In "Detective Conan: Episode Selections" Crunchyroll version of the [[Episode 49|previous episode]], it features the dubbed preview for this episode with [[Case Closed##Studio Nano|Studio Nano]] cast. While the episode aren't released in the selection, it's confirmed that it would be titled as '''"The Library Murder Case"'''.
** Currently, it is unknown if this episode would get an official release with Studio Nano's English dub.

=== Situation ===
Kenjin Hanaoka is a popular painter who seems to have everything that a man could want: his own design firm, best selling books, and untold wealth. But when he decides to eat the forbidden fruit and have an affair with one of his pretty, young illustrators his life starts to come apart at the seams.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Most of the works '''Kenjin Hanaoka''' created were actually created by his apprentice Izumi Chono, who coerced him into having a romantic relationship with her and then threatened to blackmail him to continue supporting her lest she reveal their secret. All the paintings contain a special mark of the victim, an artist's signature of sorts: a butterfly mark. She also occasionally paints the mark on her colleagues and boss/lover as a prank. This would confirm Hanaoka's guilt.

The trick Hanaoka used after bludgeoning her with a rock crystal ashtray was leaning her body over the balcony of his apartment room. The corpse is tied to a fishing line that is connected to a pulley system using a flower pot as a weight and a nail, which was attached to the apartment door and would become detached when it was opened. He hid evidence of the fishing line by using a contact lens cleaner container as a weight to pull the line down a drain after the pot fell. Hanaoka calls a botanist employee to come over to activate the mechanism and in the midst of the chaos has a one sided conversation, pretending to hear from Chono about her supposed plans to commit suicide.

After explaining the trick and with Hanaoka asserting that he'd never been to the apartment before, Conan reveals another butterfly mark hidden on his big toe's nail by spilling a cup of coffee and scalding his foot, making him remove his sock. At the start of the episode, Chono had painted said butterfly mark with a newly released nail polish right before Hanaoka woke up (he did not notice it as Chono had put his socks on). The reason Conan was able to figure that there was a butterfly mark on his toe was because bed sheets was stained with some of the nail polish.

Cornered he reveals his motive, Chono had been his ghost artist and secret lover. Although the two did spent time together a lot Hanaoka saw this as nothing more than a lover’s rendezvous, but Chono wanted more and tried to pressure him into divorcing his wife. That sent him over the edge, and he impulsively grabbed the ash tray and hit her on the head killing her.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
As Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are on their way home from a hot spring in Komono, Mie Prefecture, they boarded a train together with a pair of doctors. They arrived at a station where one may change trains to another line, but no one could possibly change trains since the two lines are scheduled differently by a mere five-minute difference. At the station where the trio are to change trains to one going to Tokyo, a murder is discovered. The only suspect rides in the train with Conan's group while the victim rides on a train from a different line.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Takashi Date'''.

He used a series of tricks to kill the victim and maintain a alibi. When the train stopped at Mizunokawa Station, he got off and disguised himself by putting on a mustache and hat as well as turning his reversible jacket inside out. Then he got on the train where Utsumi was. He was able to delay the train via phone call claiming to be a passenger who forgot his belongings on the train. He then sat down across from Utsumi and after talking he ambushed and injected him with a syringe full of medicine that induced a heart attack.

He robbed the victim including a substantial amount of coins to give the impression of an indiscriminate robbery. However this itself was strange as there was a better target: a rich woman who was wearing expensive jewelry and most likely had a large amount of money as well.

The possibility of fingerprints on the money was brought up, but Date claimed that Utsumi had lent him money so finding his fingerprints wouldn't mean anything. However Conan as Kogoro says that was not what he meant when he mentioned fingerprints. He meant that the coins had fingerprints from the Stewardess. Utsumi had bought a drink from the stewardess with a 10,000 yen bill, however she did not have 1,000 yen bills so she gave him his change in coins.

So should any of the stewardess's fingerprints be found on the those coins, that will prove that Date was on the train with Utsumi. Faced with the overwhelming evidence he breaks down and confesses his guilt, revealing his motive to be that the rumors about him receiving kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies were indeed true and that Utsumi had found out and blackmailed him for it. Date agreed to buy the negatives but believed Utsumi secretly had more. He did not want to be blackmailed for the rest of his life so he decided to kill him.</spoiler>

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are meeting Souhei Tatsumi, a well-known lawyer with many large corporations as clients, who's office is in a luxury hotel. While there, Conan picks up a phone call from Souhei's wife, Kazumi Tatsumi. During the phone call, a musical melody is heard from Kazumi's side. Souhei takes over the phone call and tells his wife he will call later and asks Conan and Ran to leave so he may talk with Kogoro. Kogoro returns telling Ran and Conan he took Souhei's request to spy on Kazumi and her affair. On the way home, they spot police cars in front of a house and decide to investigate. They found out it is Souhei Tatsumi's house. Inside they learn that Kazumi was found dead in the bathtub.

Conan suspects Souhei to be the murderer but Kogoro confirms his alibi. Conan investigates the hotels and learns the hotel room beside Souhei's is reserved for guests and also learns the musical melody from a musical box alarm clock is custom made for that hotel. At Kazumi's funeral, a man named Shunzou Hirose reveals he was Kazumi's lover.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>====Evidence====
*During the phone call there was music playing, with what sounded like a missing note.
*Souhei was spotted in the parking garage closing his car’s trunk.
*Kazumi’s body was found tied up in the bathroom.
*A staple was found near Kazumi’s body.
*The hotel laundry chute leads to the garage.
*The hotel uses staples to attach tags to the laundry bags.
*Souhei kept a regular room next to his office.
*The hotel has custom made music boxes in all of the rooms.
====Conclusion====
Kazumi was killed at the regular room Souhei has. Her body was put into a laundry bag and dumped into the laundry chute so that the murder won't draw suspicion to themselves. Then once the body was in their car, they drove to Souhei house to put her body in the bathtub.
====Motive====
The officers plan to arrest Shunzou Hirose until Conan tranquilizes Kogoro. Impersonating Kogoro's voice with his voice changing bowtie, Conan reveals '''Souhei Tatsumi''' to be the culprit. He reveals that after Tatsumi was done talking with Kogoro, he murdered his wife who was in the guest room beside his room.

Afterwards he placed his wife in a bag and pushed her down a laundry chute to the bottom floor. He then went to the bottom floor, placed her body in the trunk of his car and drove her home where he then placed her body in the bathtub. As evidence, Conan gives Megure a tape of the alarm clock in Tatsumi's guest room to compare with the recorded phone call. The alarm clock in the guest room is revealed to have a missing note and matches with the musical melody in the phone call. Souhei confesses to the murder and reveals Kazumi was blackmailing him for money in order to keep his corrupt deeds as a lawyer hidden.</spoiler>

<spoiler>The one who torn the flag with the cutter knife is the '''principal''' because the chairman wanted the team to withdraw from the tournament. Kenya only admitted to doing it to protect his mother who he thought did it. Mie had went up to the chairman's office to speak to him about withdrawing Kenya from the tournament not knowing that he wanted the whole team to dropout of the tournament. Then caretaker informs everyone that the chairman died in the hospital. The principal explains why he did it because the chairman didn't like sports and was afraid to do what was right and worried about the school's appearance. A month later, Kenya led the team back to the tournament where they would end up clinching the school's 2nd title and a brand new championship flag.</spoiler>

When a body is discovered in a bonfire at a ritual Fire Festival by a tourist, the murder investigation begins.

And when Kogoro finds out that the victim is the same man that he had been tailing for the past three days, he realizes that he has been had. The man who hired detective Mouri uses his testimony to create the perfect alibi. But Kogoro is sure that his client is the guilty one, and Conan agrees. Can Conan crack the case before this prime suspect leaves the country or will he get away with murder?

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Yutaka Abe'''. Yutaka's reason to kill his best friend is that he is on the verge of bankruptcy and he tricked the much richer Negishi to fall on his plan. He made a bet with a drunk Negishi that if he successfully went into hiding, Abe would give his life insurance policy to him. He betrayed Negishi, then commited the murder because he wanted to take the insurance.

Negishi really died on Tuesday night, the night before Yutaka left on his vacation in Kyushu. The next day, Yutaka had Kogoro follow a fake who looked like Negishi in order to make him think Negishi was alive through Wednesday night. Negishi is right-handed but the man on the photos is left-handed. This is the proof that the person Kogoro stalked is not Negishi but a different person.

Negishi's body was found on Thursday evening, during the famous fire festival. Yutaka carefully checked ahead of time to make sure the times matched. With the body burned by flames, it was impossible to find the exact time of death. This led to Kogoro to think that Negishi died from Wednesday night to Thursday night, when in fact, he really died on Tuesday evening. Then, Yutaka came back from his trip on Friday night acting innocent with his complete alibi. Kogoro is completely infuriated when he realizes that he had been lied to, but he can only prove that Yutaka tricked him into following a double, NOT that he is the criminal.

Yutaka's plan is to escape the country, going to [[Wikipedia: Seattle|Seattle]], taking Negishi's money with him. Fortunately, Conan confronts him for the murder before he escapes on an airplane and Conan manages to trick him and record him admitting the crime.

Conan then knocks him unconscious with a tire to the face. Conan also leaves the casette tape beside Yutaka so when the police find him, he will be arrested with sufficient evidence. Afterwards, the police arrests him together with Negishi's impersonator.</spoiler>

It's revealed that '''Noriko Okaya''' planned to kill Tsuyoshi Kitagawa and his fiancée, to punish them for causing the death of her lover Tastsuo. Dr. Saeki, the late Tatsuo's best friend and Noriko's treating doctor, explains her past to Conan and the Mouris. It is revealed that when they Noriko and Tatsuo had been driving on a mountain highway, Tsuyoshi and his fiancée had been driving erratically on the road and in an attempt to get ahead of them to ignore them Tatsuo accidentally crashed their car.

The rowdy couple just laughed and sneered while driving off without stopping to help or check to see if they were alright or not. Luckily some Good Samaritans came and helped pull Noriko out of the wreckage, however before they could get to Tatsuo their car exploded leaving Noriko to watch in horror as she watched the man she loved die in right in front of her eyes.

While recovering in the hospital Noriko learned that it was very unlikely that the rowdy couple would be convicted or sent to prison. Instead she worked herself to the bone to get back on her feet all to get revenge on the ones that killed her beloved.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Conan, Ran and Kogoro are walking in the city, with Kogoro and Ran talking about Kogoro upcoming reunion of his university Judo club at a hot spring. Ran wants to go because she went to one five years ago, while Kogoro wants Ran to stay so that the office will not be closed, despite the fact that it will be closed while Kogoro is on vacation. To convince Kogoro, Ran asks if Conan wants to come as well. To prevent Ran from going to the reunion, Kogoro tells them that he was going to treat her to a fancy meal instead, but Ran passes the meal for the hot spring instead. Kogoro then tells Ran that domestic flights are a lot more expensive than international ones, accidentally revealing that he does not want to pay at all.

When Conan asked Kogoro how Yumi killed herself, Kogoro responded by saying that Yumi put the gun to her head, he then stops when he realizes something is wrong. Going back to Yumi’s body with Kazushi, they both see the gunshot wound again in which they look more closely at, and see that there are no burn marks at all on the wound. Meaning Yumi did not commit suicide, instead someone killed her and made it look like it was suicide.

==== Part 2 ====
Kogoro's class reunion continues, but all the catching up has finally caught up to the classmates leaving one of them dead. Is the killer still among them, and if so, can Conan apprehend him in time? Everyone's a suspect in this exciting episode.

==== Conclusion ====
The killer is '''Kazushi Nakamichi'''. To settle their deals and as soon as the others were out of sight, he confronted her and shot her in the head by using the gun that had been missing in the bank robbery case, which he stole. He did so at the moment the fireworks were set off, that way, the sound of the gunshot would be drowned out. Kazushi manage to trick everyone (except for Conan and Kogoro) into thinking that Yumi had committed suicide, also taking advantage of how Yumi had mentioned that she did want to kill herself due to depression and her really bad economic situation.

Unfortunately, what Nakamichi didn't count on was accelerated rigor mortis, caused by exercising before dying; he played ping-pong with Yumi before killing her, but had to leave the room to make up an alibi when Conan and Ran were drawing close. Because Yumi held a ping-pong racket with her index finger pointing out, it was impossible to move it around to the trigger of the gun once rigor mortis settled in. Another fact was that when he shot her it was from a distance as a result there was no burn mark or gunshot residue around the entry wound, which meant that she did not kill herself.

Conan was about to tranquilize Kogoro to expose Nakamichi, but when he was about to do so, he heard Kogoro talking to himself about how angry he was at the idea of one of his beloved friends being a killer, then swearing to resolve the case no matter what. Conan was so moved by Kogoro's sincerity that instead of making him sleep, he limited himself to giving him the hints he needed to fully uncover Nakamichi's guilt. One of these was Conan mentioning a statue of the legendary Musashibō Benkei, a warrior who died while on his standing on his feet. That great hero made Kogoro realize the trick that Nakamichi used to fake the time of Yumi's death.

Nakamichi admitted to being the killer, and explained why he killed Yumi, and then angrily attacked Kogoro, who then easily used a Judo throw to immobilize him. Nakamichi says Kogoro is still as strong as ever but Kogoro denies it, saying that Nakamichi has become weaker.

=== Motive ===
Kazushi and Yumi had been secretly dating for years, yet Yumi refused his marriage proposals no matter how many times he begged her to marry him. However, at some point Kazushi went into an ''omiai'' (arranged date) with the daughter of his boss, the two liked one another, and Kazushi decided to marry her instead. When he told Yumi about it, Yumi got so horribly jealous that she started blackmailing Nakamichi with private photos of themselves, which she threatened to send to his fiancé. Sick and tired of her interfering with his life, he made a deal with her to buy all of the photos of them together at the day of the reunion.

The school reunion was supposed to be the last time Kazushi and Yumi would see each other. Kazushi took the photos from Yumi's purse, then told Yumi about that after playing a couple rounds of table ping pong, and she quickly ran up to her room where he shot her as she turned to look at him.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==

Afterwards, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran meet with Yumi who hopes to see all of them at the reunion. Meanwhile the culprit sneaks onto the scene to steal the gun used by the robber (though the culprit's not revealed until Part 2).

==== Evidence ====
* There is a working secret entrance that allows entry or exit onto the grounds without being seen by anyone else.
* The house still has running water.
* A window had been left open, with no signs of wind or rain wear.
* The house shows no overt signs of life, but the kids smell something cooking.

==== Conclusion ====
The house is not abandoned, but rather hides the dead mansion owner's wife and son, Akio. '''Akio''' killed his father with a single blow to the head. Unlike many other suspects, Akio had actually intended to turn himself in as soon as he could, but his mother decided to protect him. Her "protection", however, meant locking Akio in the basement until the statute of limitations for the murder expired and he couldn't be prosecuted. He tried to convince his mother otherwise but she was so desperate to not lose her son and apparently her only living relative, that she wouldn't listen to his pleas. Eventually, as she loses it and attempts to kill the children for snooping in the now abandoned home, Akio manages to stop his mother and insists that he should atone for his crime. With Conan's help, this time he is successful, and both mother and son turn themselves in together.

==== Motive ====
Five years ago, on a spring night, Akio killed his father in the heat of an argument over how he had flunked an important university exam, for the third time. Akio impulsively grabbed a bronze candle holder and hit his father on the head with it. He did not intend to murder him, however, and was emotionally broken when he realized what he had done.

==== Aftermath ====
Later in the morning, Genta and Mitsuhiko are found in the courtyard sleeping due to them being drugged by the mother. The four Detective Boys then receive a long scolding from their parents (and Ran) at the police station for sneaking out after dark. Sometimes after, Ayumi informs the group that she has found a new haunted house full of books that once belonged to the boy of the '''Eto''' family to investigate, much to the shock of Conan as it's his own house due to the fact Ayumi has misread the kanji "Ku" 工 in '''Kudo''' (工藤) as katakana "E" エ as in '''Eto''' (エ藤).</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* The manga version of the story marks the debut of Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, Ayumi Yoshida, and Genta Kojima. In the anime, they appear in the first episode.
* At the end of the episode, Mitsuhiko says that they are going to investigate Shinichi's house which he says "is the last house on the left". This could be an allusion to the 1972 horror film of the same name.
=== Translation changes ===
* In the English Dub, Genta brags about his intention to beat the ghost with the other Detective Boys teasing him about it, whereas in the Japanese Version the Detective Boys liken themselves as characters in an RPG game.
* Akio's name in the English Dub is Abraham.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The one who torn the flag with the cutter knife is the '''principal''' because the chairman wanted the team to withdraw from the tournament. Kenya only admitted to doing it to protect his mother who he thought did it. Mie had went up to the chairman's office to speak to him about withdrawing Kenya from the tournament not knowing that he wanted the whole team to dropout of the tournament. Then caretaker informs everyone that the chairman died in the hospital. The principal explains why he did it because the chairman didn't like sports and was afraid to do what was right and worried about the school's appearance. A month later, Kenya led the team back to the tournament where they would end up clinching the school's 2nd title and a brand new championship flag.</spoiler>

The killer is '''Takashi Ichieda'''. Two years ago Mrs. Yone's granddaughter, Yaeko, died by drowning when she went searching for Reika and Nikaido, who were stranded on a small island in the sea. It turned out they took her swimming supplies and left her to die; Ichieda noticed the odd situation when Yaeko's body was found and asked them about it, but they denied everything and said they had not even seen Yaeko. Gotou had also asked them about Yaeko, but he didn't suspect them at all. Everyone else believed that Yaeko had simply drowned, with her grandmother even saying that she sacrificed her life to rescue Reika and Nikaido.

Ichieda, who was in love with Yaeko, kept his bad feelings to himself until Reika's 24th birthday. After isolating the group in the mansion, he first kidnapped Reika and kept her hostage in one of the bathrooms, then bound and gagged her inside a covered bath tub, getting everything ready so she would slowly drown automatically. The proof of this is Reika disappeared around 10 PM but she wasn't killed until 5 or 6 AM which means that she was left alive for 7 to 8 hours before her death. Second proof is her clothes, they couldn't possibly get that wet, no matter how much she struggled. Third proof is the duct tape and rope marks on the corpse, it is odd that she was restrained with both rope and duct tape when she had already had been restrained with rope. Ichieda switched the faucet with the shower so that he could fill the bath quietly. To prevent somebody finding the corpse in the tub, he burned out the bulbs beforehand to keep people from coming through and using the bathroom. Ichieda checked the bathtub himself and told the others that Reika was not there to fool them. He then created his alibi by staying with Kogoro during the murder. As soon as he could he confronted Nikaido, and when he admitted his share of guilt, Ichieda drowned him outside with his own hands and left his lifeless body there.

To throw people off again, Ichieda used the air conditioners and microwave to cause the lights to turn off by themselves. First, he set all the air conditioners to turn on simultaneously at a set time using their remote controls. Then, he set the microwave so that it would turn on at the same time as well. When the time came, the overuse of electricity within the mansion would would suddenly spark and would cause the breaker to overload causing the lights to go out. The proof is that the remote controls were still displaying the time that they were all set to 12:30, which is when the lights went out. Also, at the same time Conan heard the bell of the microwave. The microwaves there operate with dials so they will still work even without electricity. Another piece of evidence is when Conan touched the microwave, it was still warm. Lastly, a little while before the lights went out, Ichieda went into the kitchen with Conan and Kogoro to search for Reika. As they were leaving the kitchen he doubled back and set the timer on the microwave when no one was looking.

After turning off the lights, Ichieda broke a window in the dark and made it look like the killer ran away so that they would give chase. He pretended to get lost in the forest and then went back to the mansion and took the unguarded Ran to the kitchen and tried to drown her. He even drugged her beforehand so that she wouldn't be able to struggle. When he put the pills in, he could have turned the cup, moved the spoon, or done any number of things to identify the cup: all he had to do was avoid it. Also, it didn't matter who took the cup: It was just a coincidence that Ran was the one who took the drugged one. The attack on Ran wasn't intended to be fatal, he only needed a witness to throw suspicions off himself, by making everyone believe that the murderer was an outsider, and give fake evidence that the murderer had killed Reika in the same fashion.

Few hours later, a still restrained Reika drowned in the tub. Ichieda pulled her lifeless body out of the bathtub and left it next to said tub for everyone to find. The proof that only Ichieda could have committed the murder is the water on his undershirt. All of the suspects in fact have water on their shirts. However, the water on Goujo's sleeve is from when he washed his hands and the water on Mifune's collar is from when he washed his face. On the other hand, Ichieda's arms on his shirt had gotten soaked. This is proof that he took his jacket off first before water got on them. He took off his jacket so that it wouldn't get wet when he committed the murder. His elbows are wet because he rolled his sleeves up to take Reika out of the bathtub.

Ichieda admits that he killed Reika and Nikaido and tells the others about how they murdered the sweet and gentle Yaeko, who had gone to help them but was repaid with abandonment and death. Before he murdered them he asked them to tell him the truth they both confessed to murdering Yaeko. He then proudly says that the two deserved to be murdered for what they had done... but Mrs. Yone angrily calls him a fool. She then goes to Reika's corpse and closes her eyes, saying that even when she cannot forgive the two victims for what they did to Yaeko, she belives that no one deserves to die violently because whenever that happens, someone else will always cry and grieve and no one should feel what she felt, no one.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==

<spoiler>
* In the anime, Ichieda doesn't drink the coffee served by Ran and Yone, as he has previously drugged one of the cups.
* In the anime, Conan states through Kogoro that Ichieda simply avoided the drugged coffee by not drinking it, compared to the manga in which he speculates that Ichieda must had marked the cup with a spoon or rotating/placing the cup in a recognizable position.
* In the anime, after Yone is angered by Ichieda's cruel and callous attitude and saddened by Reika's passing she also closes the lifeless Reika's eyes in sign of paying respect to her.</spoiler>

<spoiler>
[[File:EP37 Case.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan is showing the cactuses to Noriko Okaya.]]
It's revealed that '''Noriko Okaya''' planned to kill Tsuyoshi Kitagawa and his fiancée, to punish them for causing the death of her lover Tastsuo. Dr. Saeki, the late Tatsuo's best friend and Noriko's treating doctor, explains her past to Conan and the Mouris. It is revealed that when they Noriko and Tatsuo had been driving on a mountain highway, Tsuyoshi and his fiancée had been driving erratically on the road and in an attempt to get ahead of them to ignore them Tatsuo accidentally crashed their car.

The rowdy couple just laughed and sneered while driving off without stopping to help or check to see if they were alright or not. Luckily some Good Samaritans came and helped pull Noriko out of the wreckage, however before they could get to Tatsuo their car exploded leaving Noriko to watch in horror as she watched the man she loved die in right in front of her eyes.

While recovering in the hospital Noriko learned that it was very unlikely that the rowdy couple would be convicted or sent to prison. Instead she worked herself to the bone to get back on her feet all to get revenge on the ones that killed her beloved.

==== Part 1 ====
After Kogoro and Conan take down a would-be bank robber, they head off to Kogoro's 15-year class reunion with Ran in Tochigi Prefecture. Kogoro's old friends were all on the state-winning Judo team together, but when the beautiful Yumi Horikoshi turns up in her room dead of an apparent suicide, the fun is abruptly ended.

When Conan asked Kogoro how Yumi killed herself, Kogoro responded by saying that Yumi put the gun to her head, he then stops when he realizes something is wrong. Going back to Yumi’s body with Kazushi, they both see the gunshot wound again in which they look more closely at, and see that there are no burn marks at all on the wound. Meaning Yumi did not commit suicide, instead someone killed her and made it look like it was suicide.

==== Part 2 ====
Kogoro's class reunion continues, but all the catching up has finally caught up to the classmates leaving one of them dead. Is the killer still among them, and if so, can Conan apprehend him in time? Everyone's a suspect in this exciting episode.

==== Conclusion ====
The killer is '''Kazushi Nakamichi'''. To settle their deals and as soon as the others were out of sight, he confronted her and shot her in the head by using the gun that had been missing in the bank robbery case, which he stole. He did so at the moment the fireworks were set off, that way, the sound of the gunshot would be drowned out. Kazushi manage to trick everyone (except for Conan and Kogoro) into thinking that Yumi had committed suicide, also taking advantage of how Yumi had mentioned that she did want to kill herself due to depression and her really bad economic situation.

Unfortunately, what Nakamichi didn't count on was accelerated rigor mortis, caused by exercising before dying; he played ping-pong with Yumi before killing her, but had to leave the room to make up an alibi when Conan and Ran were drawing close. Because Yumi held a ping-pong racket with her index finger pointing out, it was impossible to move it around to the trigger of the gun once rigor mortis settled in. Another fact was that when he shot her it was from a distance as a result there was no burn mark or gunshot residue around the entry wound, which meant that she did not kill herself.

Conan was about to tranquilize Kogoro to expose Nakamichi, but when he was about to do so, he heard Kogoro talking to himself about how angry he was at the idea of one of his beloved friends being a killer, then swearing to resolve the case no matter what. Conan was so moved by Kogoro's sincerity that instead of making him sleep, he limited himself to giving him the hints he needed to fully uncover Nakamichi's guilt. One of these was Conan mentioning a statue of the legendary Musashibō Benkei, a warrior who died while on his standing on his feet. That great hero made Kogoro realize the trick that Nakamichi used to fake the time of Yumi's death.

Nakamichi admitted to being the killer, and explained why he killed Yumi, and then angrily attacked Kogoro, who then easily used a Judo throw to immobilize him. Nakamichi says Kogoro is still as strong as ever but Kogoro denies it, saying that Nakamichi has become weaker.

=== Motive ===
Kazushi and Yumi had been secretly dating for years, yet Yumi refused his marriage proposals no matter how many times he begged her to marry him. However, at some point Kazushi went into an ''omiai'' (arranged date) with the daughter of his boss, the two liked one another, and Kazushi decided to marry her instead. When he told Yumi about it, Yumi got so horribly jealous that she started blackmailing Nakamichi with private photos of themselves, which she threatened to send to his fiancé. Sick and tired of her interfering with his life, he made a deal with her to buy all of the photos of them together at the day of the reunion.

The school reunion was supposed to be the last time Kazushi and Yumi would see each other. Kazushi took the photos from Yumi's purse, then told Yumi about that after playing a couple rounds of table ping pong, and she quickly ran up to her room where he shot her as she turned to look at him.</spoiler>

Afterwards, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran meet with Yumi who hopes to see all of them at the reunion. Meanwhile the culprit sneaks onto the scene to steal the gun used by the robber (though the culprit's not revealed until Part 2).

When Sonoko's father uses his connections, Ran and Sonoko find themselves in a Karaoke Bar having dinner with the hottest band in the land! It seems like a dream come true until the lead singer, Tatsuya Kimura, is poisoned right in front of their eyes. The brash super-star had plenty of enemies (he constantly fought for nothing with Mari, Mieko had her love confession to him rejected, Katsumi was angry at him because he was about to go solo and that put the band's career on hold, Go was in his previous band till he left and he was very rude towards the whole band), but which of them hated him enough to commit murder? It's up to Conan to find out.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Mari Terahara'''. The potassium cyanide was not contained in the food as initially suspected but on the outer layering of the band's logo jacket. Kimura had the habit of dandily removing his jacket during performances and placing his hand at the predicted poisoned location. The poison in the food was thereby traces of the stuff that was already in the victim's hand. Conan, using Shinichi's voice for the first time while hiding away, indicts Terahara by making her perform the same gestures and daring her to take a bite out of the onigiri. Her unexplained fear of taking the bite confirms her guilt.

Mari killed Kimura, her ex-boyfriend, because he turned psychologically abusive to her after she had a nose job and had her freckles removed and he broke up with her. It turns out that not only did he like her better when she was a sweet girl next door, but that he was psychologically and emotionally broken after finding out that Mari had specifically gotten plastic surgery to look beautiful for him, which he could never forgive her and himself - he would've never asked her to change. Kimura decided to punish both of them by verbally abusing her, while he secretly wrote a love song for Mari which would have been his first solo single; however, his taunting went so far that Mari was completely embittered, her former love for him became seething hate, and then she decided get revenge by killing him. Sumii, the only person whom Kimura explained his reasons to, proves this as he shows a photo of the old band (including a pre-surgery Mari with a big nose and freckles); Kimura had written the lyrics of his new song on the back of the photo. After hearing all of that, Mari breaks down screaming and crying out to Kimura, while Mieko realizing that when Kimura turned down her love confession, he did it because Mari was his one and only love.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* This episode takes place right after [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]], with Ran bringing up Sonoko's deduction of the case. Conan is worried as his cover might be blown, only for Sonoko to accept the credit for solving the murder and claiming that Kogoro and Shinichi don't measure up to her (with the manga showing both detectives in the background). The scene as a whole was used at the end of the Mountain Villa Bandaged Murder Case episode.
** In the anime version, Sonoko brings up Tatsuya when Ran asks if she has a guy in her life, whereas the manga version has Ran asking about [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|Masaru Ohta]] (from the Mountain Villa Case), only for Sonoko to express disinterest for him as she is interested in Tatsuya.
* In the manga, Tatsuya was depicted as somewhat drunk up until his death. Immediately before his death, he coughed up blood before collapsing on to the floor.
* The anime leaves out the main theory of the crime, which is that Tatsuya committed suicide (based originally on the poison being found in the victims car and later supported by other evidence). This is what the police investigation concluded happened and what Inspector Megure was going to release as the cause of death at a press conference before receiving word of Shinichi Kudo's phone call.
* The manga reveals that Tatsuya was rude to his band because the record company forced him to pursue a solo career, so he didn't want them to miss him after he left.
* The anime ends with Ran receiving her present, whereas the manga ends with her trying to find Shinichi, while Conan is shown, nervously hiding.

== Remastered version ==
On October 22, 2011, a remastered version of the case was aired.

== Trivia ==
* Despite his face not being shown on-screen, this marks the first time Detective Takagi is listed in the ending credits. He's the inspector that brings the box of Tatsuya's items to Inspector Megure.
* In [[Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case]], Conan thought to himself that "I asked the Inspector not to release my 'real name'", referring to this case.

=== Situation ===
When a body is discovered in a bonfire at a ritual Fire Festival by a tourist, the murder investigation begins.

And when Kogoro finds out that the victim is the same man that he had been tailing for the past three days, he realizes that he has been had. The man who hired detective Mouri uses his testimony to create the perfect alibi. But Kogoro is sure that his client is the guilty one, and Conan agrees. Can Conan crack the case before this prime suspect leaves the country or will he get away with murder?

{{People|Yutaka Abe|Yutaka Abe.jpg|

* Negishi's friend}}
{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Yutaka Abe'''. Yutaka's reason to kill his best friend is that he is on the verge of bankruptcy and he tricked the much richer Negishi to fall on his plan. He made a bet with a drunk Negishi that if he successfully went into hiding, Abe would give his life insurance policy to him. He betrayed Negishi, then commited the murder because he wanted to take the insurance.

Negishi really died on Tuesday night, the night before Yutaka left on his vacation in Kyushu. The next day, Yutaka had Kogoro follow a fake who looked like Negishi in order to make him think Negishi was alive through Wednesday night. Negishi is right-handed but the man on the photos is left-handed. This is the proof that the person Kogoro stalked is not Negishi but a different person.

Negishi's body was found on Thursday evening, during the famous fire festival. Yutaka carefully checked ahead of time to make sure the times matched. With the body burned by flames, it was impossible to find the exact time of death. This led to Kogoro to think that Negishi died from Wednesday night to Thursday night, when in fact, he really died on Tuesday evening. Then, Yutaka came back from his trip on Friday night acting innocent with his complete alibi. Kogoro is completely infuriated when he realizes that he had been lied to, but he can only prove that Yutaka tricked him into following a double, NOT that he is the criminal.

Yutaka's plan is to escape the country, going to [[Wikipedia: Seattle|Seattle]], taking Negishi's money with him. Fortunately, Conan confronts him for the murder before he escapes on an airplane and Conan manages to trick him and record him admitting the crime.

Conan then knocks him unconscious with a tire to the face. Conan also leaves the casette tape beside Yutaka so when the police find him, he will be arrested with sufficient evidence. Afterwards, the police arrests him together with Negishi's impersonator.</spoiler>

Mie had went up to the chairman's office to speak to him about withdrawing Kenya from the tournament not knowing that he wanted the whole team to dropout of the tournament. Then caretaker informs everyone that the chairman died in the hospital. The principal explains why he did it because the chairman didn't like sports and was afraid to do what was right and worried about the school's appearance. A month later, Kenya led the team back to the tournament where they would end up clinching the school's 2nd title and a brand new championship flag.</spoiler>

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Kogoro and Megure are tasked with a critical case that involves the kidnapping of a girl named Naoko Takei, who is being held hostage in a van near a warehouse by the harbor. When the group plus Ran, Conan and Naoko's father, Katsuhiko Takei, approach the van, however, the kidnapper panics and drives the van into the sea itself, killing both Naoko and themself. It turns out Naoko was a classmate of Shinichi and Ran, and as Megure asks Ran about her, Conan thinks of how she was an awkward and quiet "lonely rich kid".

In the following days, Conan befriends a young woman named Akiko Hanai, who works as both Takei's secretary and Naoko's former caretaker. As he gathers information, he realises that Takei had more than one enemy thanks to his corrupt business tactics, and that there's a slim chance that Naoko may be still alive. But he has to be very fast and careful if he wants to uncover the truth and save her.

====Evidence====
*There is a hammer in the van.
*Conan notices Akiko plugging her nose in a way that divers do.
*A speedboat was spotted leaving where the van crashed.
*On the speedboat one set diving equipment was found.
*Akiko owns a scuba watch.
====Conclusion====
Naoko was never in the van to begin with, the kidnapper disguised themselves as Naoko to make Mr. Takei think she was in the van. After showing themselves to Katsuhiko they drive off of the road into the river. Once the van was in the river the kidnapper put on the diving equipment and used the hammer to break the window on the van. Once the kidnapper swam away from the van, they made their way to the speedboat that was nearby and speed away from the crash.
====Motive====
The kidnapper is '''Akiko Hanai'''. Four years ago, Takei drove a fellow businessman to bankruptcy and then to insanity. His parents killed themselves and their younger son Masahito, leaving their eldest daughter alone. She was adopted by her relatives, who changed her birth name. When she grew up, she decided to look for Takei and work for him under this new identity, to keep an eye on the man who ruined her life.

Akiko kidnapped Naoko after an outing and then faked her own death as well as the girl's, to prove Takei's affection for his child. Naoko was never held hostage in the van: Akiko played the role of both the kidnapper/driver and the victim, and drove the van into the sea to fake her and Naoko's deaths. When they were speaking, Conan noticed that at some point Akiko pinched her nose in a strange manner, to unclog her nose and ears after taking said "dive" and resurfacing too fast afterwards. He also saw that she was quite tanned save for her wrist, where she likely had a special wristwatch used by divers.

Later, Akiko contacts Takei and, still hiding her identity, tells him that Naoko is still alive, and that he should come alone to the same warehouse and bring five million yen in cash if he wants to recover her. However, Takei uses a small amount of bills and cut newspaper as the ransom. This enrages Akiko, and she decides to kill him as punishment via dousing him in gasoline and then gets ready to burn him to death.

As she does so, she reveals her identity to Takei and reveals that the warehouse they are in once belonged to her family which had long since been abandoned. She also reveals that she knew about his crusade against her family and the damage it had caused. She also adds that she would've released Naoko without even taking the ransom, had Takei cared enough for his child to use real money. Conan, who greatly reminds Akiko of the deceased Masahito, appears and talks her out from her murder plans.

Naoko is soon found unharmed by the police, and brought to the presence of Akiko and Takei. She ignores her father when he calls out to her and goes towards Akiko instead, who is arrested, giving her a hug and saying that now she knows her reasons, and forgives her for everything. Takei is left ashamed of himself, having saved the money for his company but lost forever his daughter's affection.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
When Katsuhiko Nakamoto, a seedy real estate agent, is murdered in his condominium, the police suspect Yoko Sawaki, a well-known dentist in town. They believe that she was getting back at Nakamoto for a crime that he committed twenty-six years ago in a village of East Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture. Will Conan's investigation vindicate the beautiful dentist or debunk her perfect alibi?

<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* There are curtains in Yoko's apartment
==== Conclusion ====
==== Motive ====
After giving Ayumi an anesthetic for her dental removal, Yoko transported the unconscious girl from her waiting room to her apartment room. The designs of both rooms are almost identical, and the differences are unlikely to be noticed by the sleepy witness.

To further keep Ayumi occupied as a witness, she woke her up in time to see Kamen Yaiba live. However, she promptly gave the sleepy child some sleeping pills instead of pain killers. After Ayumi fell asleep again, she picked her up, and drove her back to her office, and laid her down again.

She woke Ayumi up in time to see the preview for next week's episode of Kamen Yaiba. There was no altering of time, since even Ayumi's family can vouch that she was back at 8:05 PM, and they left right after the previews. She let her watch the episode live at her house, but the preview at her office.

The evidence that gave her trick away was the deck of the Kamen Yaiba cards in her apartment room. Before she got her tooth pulled, Ayumi took an Ace of Hearts from the deck for good luck. After her tooth was pulled, she put the card back in the deck. She took the card from the deck at the clinic, and 'returned' it into the deck at Yoko's apartment. There should be an extra Ace of Hearts in that deck with Ayumi's fingerprints, proving that she was there.

'''Yoko Sawaki''' killed Nakamoto because twenty-six years ago he kidnapped and killed her older brother. Due to lack of evidence, the police was forced to release Nakamoto as the only witness was her, who was only 7 years old at that time. She confessed to Conan that she wished there was a person like him in the police so that her brother wouldn't have died in vain. Yoko then turned herself in with Conan speculating that the reason she used Ayumi as a witness is because she wanted either Kogoro or Conan to find out the truth, which is what she wanted twenty-six years ago.</spoiler>

To settle their deals and as soon as the others were out of sight, he confronted her and shot her in the head by using the gun that had been missing in the bank robbery case, which he stole. He did so at the moment the fireworks were set off, that way, the sound of the gunshot would be drowned out. Kazushi manage to trick everyone (except for Conan and Kogoro) into thinking that Yumi had committed suicide, also taking advantage of how Yumi had mentioned that she did want to kill herself due to depression and her really bad economic situation.

Unfortunately, what Nakamichi didn't count on was accelerated rigor mortis, caused by exercising before dying; he played ping-pong with Yumi before killing her, but had to leave the room to make up an alibi when Conan and Ran were drawing close. Because Yumi held a ping-pong racket with her index finger pointing out, it was impossible to move it around to the trigger of the gun once rigor mortis settled in. Another fact was that when he shot her it was from a distance as a result there was no burn mark or gunshot residue around the entry wound, which meant that she did not kill herself.

Conan was about to tranquilize Kogoro to expose Nakamichi, but when he was about to do so, he heard Kogoro talking to himself about how angry he was at the idea of one of his beloved friends being a killer, then swearing to resolve the case no matter what. Conan was so moved by Kogoro's sincerity that instead of making him sleep, he limited himself to giving him the hints he needed to fully uncover Nakamichi's guilt. One of these was Conan mentioning a statue of the legendary Musashibō Benkei, a warrior who died while on his standing on his feet. That great hero made Kogoro realize the trick that Nakamichi used to fake the time of Yumi's death.

Nakamichi admitted to being the killer, and explained why he killed Yumi, and then angrily attacked Kogoro, who then easily used a Judo throw to immobilize him. Nakamichi says Kogoro is still as strong as ever but Kogoro denies it, saying that Nakamichi has become weaker.

=== Motive ===
Kazushi and Yumi had been secretly dating for years, yet Yumi refused his marriage proposals no matter how many times he begged her to marry him. However, at some point Kazushi went into an ''omiai'' (arranged date) with the daughter of his boss, the two liked one another, and Kazushi decided to marry her instead. When he told Yumi about it, Yumi got so horribly jealous that she started blackmailing Nakamichi with private photos of themselves, which she threatened to send to his fiancé. Sick and tired of her interfering with his life, he made a deal with her to buy all of the photos of them together at the day of the reunion.

The school reunion was supposed to be the last time Kazushi and Yumi would see each other. Kazushi took the photos from Yumi's purse, then told Yumi about that after playing a couple rounds of table ping pong, and she quickly ran up to her room where he shot her as she turned to look at him.</spoiler>

{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The manga starts off at the reunion during the moment where Conan and Ran are bathing. The anime starts before the reunion is held with Conan and Ran trying to convince Kogoro to take them. During which a robbery takes place with Kogoro and Conan pursuing the robber. Kogoro is saved when Conan kicks the gun away from the robber. Afterwards, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran meet with Yumi who hopes to see all of them at the reunion. Meanwhile the culprit sneaks onto the scene to steal the gun used by the robber (though the culprit's not revealed until Part 2).

=== Situation ===
When Sonoko's father uses his connections, Ran and Sonoko find themselves in a Karaoke Bar having dinner with the hottest band in the land! It seems like a dream come true until the lead singer, Tatsuya Kimura, is poisoned right in front of their eyes. The brash super-star had plenty of enemies (he constantly fought for nothing with Mari, Mieko had her love confession to him rejected, Katsumi was angry at him because he was about to go solo and that put the band's career on hold, Go was in his previous band till he left and he was very rude towards the whole band), but which of them hated him enough to commit murder? It's up to Conan to find out.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Mari Terahara'''. The potassium cyanide was not contained in the food as initially suspected but on the outer layering of the band's logo jacket. Kimura had the habit of dandily removing his jacket during performances and placing his hand at the predicted poisoned location. The poison in the food was thereby traces of the stuff that was already in the victim's hand. Conan, using Shinichi's voice for the first time while hiding away, indicts Terahara by making her perform the same gestures and daring her to take a bite out of the onigiri. Her unexplained fear of taking the bite confirms her guilt.

Mari killed Kimura, her ex-boyfriend, because he turned psychologically abusive to her after she had a nose job and had her freckles removed and he broke up with her. It turns out that not only did he like her better when she was a sweet girl next door, but that he was psychologically and emotionally broken after finding out that Mari had specifically gotten plastic surgery to look beautiful for him, which he could never forgive her and himself - he would've never asked her to change. Kimura decided to punish both of them by verbally abusing her, while he secretly wrote a love song for Mari which would have been his first solo single; however, his taunting went so far that Mari was completely embittered, her former love for him became seething hate, and then she decided get revenge by killing him. Sumii, the only person whom Kimura explained his reasons to, proves this as he shows a photo of the old band (including a pre-surgery Mari with a big nose and freckles); Kimura had written the lyrics of his new song on the back of the photo. After hearing all of that, Mari breaks down screaming and crying out to Kimura, while Mieko realizing that when Kimura turned down her love confession, he did it because Mari was his one and only love.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* This episode takes place right after [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]], with Ran bringing up Sonoko's deduction of the case. Conan is worried as his cover might be blown, only for Sonoko to accept the credit for solving the murder and claiming that Kogoro and Shinichi don't measure up to her (with the manga showing both detectives in the background). The scene as a whole was used at the end of the Mountain Villa Bandaged Murder Case episode.
** In the anime version, Sonoko brings up Tatsuya when Ran asks if she has a guy in her life, whereas the manga version has Ran asking about [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|Masaru Ohta]] (from the Mountain Villa Case), only for Sonoko to express disinterest for him as she is interested in Tatsuya.
* In the manga, Tatsuya was depicted as somewhat drunk up until his death. Immediately before his death, he coughed up blood before collapsing on to the floor.
* The anime leaves out the main theory of the crime, which is that Tatsuya committed suicide (based originally on the poison being found in the victims car and later supported by other evidence). This is what the police investigation concluded happened and what Inspector Megure was going to release as the cause of death at a press conference before receiving word of Shinichi Kudo's phone call.
* The manga reveals that Tatsuya was rude to his band because the record company forced him to pursue a solo career, so he didn't want them to miss him after he left.
* The anime ends with Ran receiving her present, whereas the manga ends with her trying to find Shinichi, while Conan is shown, nervously hiding.

== Translation changes ==

* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Mieko Shibazaki - Amber Ling
:* Katsumi Yamada - Eugene "Sledge" Corti

== Remastered version ==
On October 22, 2011, a remastered version of the case was aired.

== Trivia ==
* Despite his face not being shown on-screen, this marks the first time Detective Takagi is listed in the ending credits. He's the inspector that brings the box of Tatsuya's items to Inspector Megure.
* In [[Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case]], Conan thought to himself that "I asked the Inspector not to release my 'real name'", referring to this case.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Mari Terahara'''. The potassium cyanide was not contained in the food as initially suspected but on the outer layering of the band's logo jacket. Kimura had the habit of dandily removing his jacket during performances and placing his hand at the predicted poisoned location. The poison in the food was thereby traces of the stuff that was already in the victim's hand. Conan, using Shinichi's voice for the first time while hiding away, indicts Terahara by making her perform the same gestures and daring her to take a bite out of the onigiri. Her unexplained fear of taking the bite confirms her guilt.

Mari killed Kimura, her ex-boyfriend, because he turned psychologically abusive to her after she had a nose job and had her freckles removed and he broke up with her. It turns out that not only did he like her better when she was a sweet girl next door, but that he was psychologically and emotionally broken after finding out that Mari had specifically gotten plastic surgery to look beautiful for him, which he could never forgive her and himself - he would've never asked her to change. Kimura decided to punish both of them by verbally abusing her, while he secretly wrote a love song for Mari which would have been his first solo single; however, his taunting went so far that Mari was completely embittered, her former love for him became seething hate, and then she decided get revenge by killing him. Sumii, the only person whom Kimura explained his reasons to, proves this as he shows a photo of the old band (including a pre-surgery Mari with a big nose and freckles); Kimura had written the lyrics of his new song on the back of the photo. After hearing all of that, Mari breaks down screaming and crying out to Kimura, while Mieko realizing that when Kimura turned down her love confession, he did it because Mari was his one and only love.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* This episode takes place right after [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]], with Ran bringing up Sonoko's deduction of the case. Conan is worried as his cover might be blown, only for Sonoko to accept the credit for solving the murder and claiming that Kogoro and Shinichi don't measure up to her (with the manga showing both detectives in the background). The scene as a whole was used at the end of the Mountain Villa Bandaged Murder Case episode.
** In the anime version, Sonoko brings up Tatsuya when Ran asks if she has a guy in her life, whereas the manga version has Ran asking about [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|Masaru Ohta]] (from the Mountain Villa Case), only for Sonoko to express disinterest for him as she is interested in Tatsuya.
* In the manga, Tatsuya was depicted as somewhat drunk up until his death. Immediately before his death, he coughed up blood before collapsing on to the floor.
* The anime leaves out the main theory of the crime, which is that Tatsuya committed suicide (based originally on the poison being found in the victims car and later supported by other evidence). This is what the police investigation concluded happened and what Inspector Megure was going to release as the cause of death at a press conference before receiving word of Shinichi Kudo's phone call.
* The manga reveals that Tatsuya was rude to his band because the record company forced him to pursue a solo career, so he didn't want them to miss him after he left.
* The anime ends with Ran receiving her present, whereas the manga ends with her trying to find Shinichi, while Conan is shown, nervously hiding.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Mieko Shibazaki - Amber Ling
:* Katsumi Yamada - Eugene "Sledge" Corti
:* Tatsuya Kimura - Justin Moon
:* Mari Terahara - Mazy Mitchel
:* Go Sumii - Georgie Smalls

== Remastered version ==
On October 22, 2011, a remastered version of the case was aired.

== Trivia ==
* Despite his face not being shown on-screen, this marks the first time Detective Takagi is listed in the ending credits. He's the inspector that brings the box of Tatsuya's items to Inspector Megure.
* In [[Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case]], Conan thought to himself that "I asked the Inspector not to release my 'real name'", referring to this case.

=== Situation ===
When Katsuhiko Nakamoto, a seedy real estate agent, is murdered in his condominium, the police suspect Yoko Sawaki, a well-known dentist in town. They believe that she was getting back at Nakamoto for a crime that he committed twenty-six years ago in a village of East Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture. Will Conan's investigation vindicate the beautiful dentist or debunk her perfect alibi?

<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* There are curtains in Yoko's apartment
==== Conclusion ====
==== Motive ====
After giving Ayumi an anesthetic for her dental removal, Yoko transported the unconscious girl from her waiting room to her apartment room. The designs of both rooms are almost identical, and the differences are unlikely to be noticed by the sleepy witness.

To further keep Ayumi occupied as a witness, she woke her up in time to see Kamen Yaiba live. However, she promptly gave the sleepy child some sleeping pills instead of pain killers. After Ayumi fell asleep again, she picked her up, and drove her back to her office, and laid her down again.

She woke Ayumi up in time to see the preview for next week's episode of Kamen Yaiba. There was no altering of time, since even Ayumi's family can vouch that she was back at 8:05 PM, and they left right after the previews. She let her watch the episode live at her house, but the preview at her office.

The evidence that gave her trick away was the deck of the Kamen Yaiba cards in her apartment room. Before she got her tooth pulled, Ayumi took an Ace of Hearts from the deck for good luck. After her tooth was pulled, she put the card back in the deck. She took the card from the deck at the clinic, and 'returned' it into the deck at Yoko's apartment. There should be an extra Ace of Hearts in that deck with Ayumi's fingerprints, proving that she was there.

'''Yoko Sawaki''' killed Nakamoto because twenty-six years ago he kidnapped and killed her older brother. Due to lack of evidence, the police was forced to release Nakamoto as the only witness was her, who was only 7 years old at that time. She confessed to Conan that she wished there was a person like him in the police so that her brother wouldn't have died in vain. Yoko then turned herself in with Conan speculating that the reason she used Ayumi as a witness is because she wanted either Kogoro or Conan to find out the truth, which is what she wanted twenty-six years ago.</spoiler>

As Kogoro begins to explain why Okida had his card, Conan examines the Okida body and notices some oddities near the body.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* Everything in the Okida household seems to be controlled by a computer, from accessing doors to the air-conditioning.
* Conan comments that Okida sweated way too much during the night considering the house is set to maintain a specific cool temperature.
* Conan's notices wilted flowers on a table and finds a receipt for the bouquet in the trash. The flowers were purchased the day before, so it doesn't make sense for the flowers to have already wilted so much. Examining the chocolates on the table Conan notes they have all melted into lumps.
* Okida's sweat, flowers, and chocolates imply that the temperature control in the house changed the night when Okida died, but Aslan, the Himalayan cat, appears to be fine. According to what Ran heard from Tokito, cats like Aslan need to be in a relatively controlled temperature environment.
* Miura explains to Conan that Tokito used to be a programmer for Okida until Tokito and a friend decided to set out and form their own company. The company however ended up being a failure and Okida "graciously" allowed Tokito to work for him again as his chauffeur.
* Tokito seems enraged remembering a "certain man" who drove his business partner into committing suicide. Conan asks if the "certain man" is Okida, but Tokito doesn't answer.
* Agasa confirms Conan's theory that someone could hack the Okida household to change the house's settings, but it would have to be done by someone really versed in programming.
* When Conan visits Tokito's apartment he steps on an unusual "flake" thing. Upon returning to Agasa's house, he realizes he stepped on something else: a cat hair.

==== Conclusion ====
Thanks to Agasa, Conan realizes that '''Tokito''' must've programmed Okida's computer system to heat up the house really quickly and then cause a sudden drop in temperature. This sudden change in temperature is what triggered Okida's heart attack.

The flakey object Conan stepped on in Tokito's apartment was actually a piece of cat litter. The cat hair on Conan's sock was also from Conan's visit to Tokito's apartment. To protect Aslan from being involved in his revenge scheme, Tokito took Aslan back to his apartment so the cat wouldn't get hurt.

==== Motive ====
Tokito's motive for killing Okida was revenge for his business partner who committed suicide.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Okida - Claude Osgood
:* Miura - Todd Morris
:* Tokito - Ken Thomason
:* Aslan - Asia

== Trivia ==
* The day of the crime (August 19th, 1996) is the same as the original airdate. It is indicated by the receipt that Conan finds in the trash bin.
* Okida's vehicle is a 1994 Gray Pearl Metallic Mercedes-Benz E 280 [W124].

=== Situation ===
What began as an enjoyable day for Kogoro, Ran, and Conan, who is being interviewed for a potential job as a fashion model for Eiko Ashiya a top fashion designer in Japan, soon turns deadly as Mika Taniguchi the secretary for Eiko is found dead. All signs point to a simple break in, but Conan knows that not all is as it seems.

| suspects = Eiko Ashiya
| description = Sometime after deaparting from the lobby with the elevator, Taniguchi was found killed on the 8th floor. Near her body is found several footprints pointed toward the emergency exit. Is this case a robbery? Or is this a carefully planned murder?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* There was a wrinkle on Mika’s sleeve, suggesting she was leaning against something during the time of her death.
* The shoe prints supposedly left by the culprit were too neat, it was as if the killer causally strolled around before leaving.
* Mika’s body was found lying on her back facing the elevator from outside which is strange, because this means that her killer stabbed her from inside the elevator when the evidence proves otherwise.
* Flower pollen was found on a different floor, most likely from the bouquet Ran gave to Eiko.
* Eiko still had the shoes and gloves in her purse that she used to commit the murder with.
* Eiko somehow “deduced” how Mika was killed after witnessing a robbery in progress even though Conan never had a chance to investigate what had happened.

==== Conclusion ====
The culprit is '''Eiko Ashiya'''. Through Kogoro, Conan reveals that Ashiya called Mika to come in the 15th floor and killed her, then placed Taniguchi's body in the elevator with her back leaning on the door and then sent her to the 8th floor.

==== Motive ====
Ashiya confesses that she murdered Mika in vengeance for stealing her clothing designs and selling them to rival company.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Eiko Ashiya - Laurel Hallerand
:* Mika Taniguchi - Megan Klaus
:* Eda - Alan

== Trivia ==
* The office building had fifteen floors.

=== Situation ===
Daizo Kurokawa, a wealthy heart surgeon, was murdered in his own home, hit over the head with a statue. He left a dying message, grabbing the keys of his computer keyboard: JUN.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = Movie1 Case1.jpg

| victim = Daizo Kurokawa
| age = 62 years old

| suspects = Mina Kurokawa, Daisuke Kurokawa, and Manami Nagazawa
| description = While the victim sat at his computer, the culprit snuck up behind and hit him over the head with a statue.
}}

[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], wrongly of course, deduces that the dying message pointed to the victim's second wife Mina, saying that "JUN" means June and since June is also called "minazuki" or dry month and Mina was born in June, he wanted to leave a hint that he was murdered by his own wife. Mina is furious. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] hits Kogoro with his stun-wristwatch and begins explaining the actual facts of the case to the police and the three suspects.

====Evidence====
*Even though there is blood on the J-U-N keys, there is all so blood on the modified shift key when he had no reason to press it
====Conclusion====
Daizo Kurokawa did in fact saw his attacker’s face and left a message to their identity, but was unaware that he pressed the button changed that the keyboard so that is was set from hiragana to romaji when he fell from his chair
====Motive====
The actual murderer was '''Manami Nagazawa''', the housekeeper of the Kurokawa family. The message wasn't supposed to be "JUN" because the computer keyboard was set to romaji instead of hiragana when the dying victim typed out his message. Switched to hiragana, the message reads "Ma-Na-Mi". Conan also makes Manami show everyone a bloodstain on her sock and she confesses. Her motive was revenge for her late husband, who died after a heart surgery performed by Daizo while he was drunk last year. Manami says she tried to find witnesses that Daizo got drunk before the surgery, but his colleagues were too scared to come forward. So, she decided to work for Daizo as a housekeeper and planned her revenge for this day, the first anniversary of her husband's death.

{{clear}}

Then, Conan goes to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house, Conan looks through his mail and finds an unusual-looking letter adressed to [[Shinichi Kudo]], inviting Shinichi to a party.

The letter was sent by famous architect Teiji Moriya. Conan decides to call [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and tells her about the invitation, asking her to go to the party in his stead because he is "too busy with his case" and that Kogoro and "that boy who lives with you" can join her as well.

Ran accepts, under the condition that Shinichi joins her for a movie the following Saturday. Conan, horrified, tries to get her to agree to a later date but she insists it has to be on Saturday, May 3. She also asks "Shinichi" if he prefers red or blue. Conan, confused, replies red is his favourite colour and says goodbye to Ran. He has no idea why Ran insists on meeting Shinichi on May 3. On the way home, he meets [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] who introduces him to another constable working in his department, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].

At home, Ran tells Conan and Kogoro that she is going on a date with Shinichi on May 3. She wants to take Shinichi to a late showing at the cinema and, at midnight, surprise him with a red polo shirt because he said red was his favourite colour. Conan suddenly remembers that Shinichi birthday is on May 4. Ran also explains about the tea party invitation and Kogoro isn't exactly enthusiastic about going, so Conan comes up with a trick to convince him.

[[File:Movie1d.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro is pondering Moriya's quiz.]]
{{clear}}

On April 29, Kogoro, Ran and Conan attend the tea party at Teiji Moriya's house and explain that Shinichi couldn't make it, but Kogoro came instead, delighting their host at having "another famous detective" as his guest. Moriya greets his guests and gives them a riddle, telling everyone that whoever solves it first gets a private tour of his gallery, with the photos of fourteen works. Conan quickly figures it out and Moriya takes him and Ran upstairs. They chat with the famous architect and Ran says that she is going on a date with Shinichi and they will go watch a film in a building designed by Moriya.

The following day, Ran goes shopping and Conan meets Professor Agasa, asking for his help because he has no idea what to do about his date with Ran. Agasa's TV is on and they watch the news. Someone stole a large quantity of octane from a plant, a gas used to make plastic explosives.

Worried, Agasa switches the TV off and his phone rings suddenly. Someone using a voice changing device asks for Shinichi so Agasa hands his phone over. The unknown caller explains that he is the one who stole the octane and asks for Shinichi's phone number. Conan gives it to him and the man tells him "go to Greenbelt Park or the kids will die."

Conan hurries to Greenbelt Park and sees his friends [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] playing with a remote controlled plane. Mitsuhiko explains to Conan that a strange man with a beard offered the plane to them. Conan has a closer look and notices that there is a bomb attached to the plane, telling Ayumi to let go of it immediately. Ayumi drops the toy and the antenna on top of the plane breaks, causing it to begin flying around uncontrollably. Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] and kicks the controller into the plane, blowing it up.

Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko escape in time. When Conan looks at the flames created by the exploding plane, he realises that the bomb was actually filled with plastic explosives and that this was a serious incident.

As he goes home, his phone rings again and someone says there is going to be another bomb waiting for him.

}}

Conan locates the second bomb and only just about gets it to a deserted place before it blows up. He is knocked back by the blast and hits a tree, falling unconscious.

Conan wakes up in hospital. Agasa says the culprit could have a grudge to settle with Shinichi and Megure agrees. They try to remember Shinichi's most famous cases to see if that provides any hint to the bomber's identity. Megure recalls a past case that was solved by Shinichi.

Shinichi was called by Megure to help investigations.

<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* The fingerprints that were found on the car’s built-in lighter were that of Kohei Okamoto, but they were of his right hand, not his left hand which would only be possible if he was in the passenger seat.
==== Conclusion ====
Because the car’s built-in lighter has '''Kohei Okamoto''''s right hand fingerprints, not his left hand, it can be safely concluded that he was not the one who was driving but rather his father '''Shicho Okamoto''' instead.
==== Motive ====
Shinichi said the evidence didn't prove that Kohei was driving when the accident occurred and that he could be covering for his father, '''Shicho Okamoto'''. The evidence would support this.</spoiler>

There has been another bomb threat, this time somehow related to the train system. The threat carried another cryptic hint, "X the XX".

}}

Conan figures out the hint- the bombs are located "between" the "rail tracks" ("X" the "XX") based on the bomber's other hints to keep the trains going above 60 km/h and that the bombs would explode at sunset. They realise the bombs are using solar power to reset their timers. As sunset approaches, the police help navigate the trains off the tracks and are able to safely recover all five bombs.

Megure and Shiratori, together with Conan and Kogoro, go to question Moriya.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan figures out that the famous architect '''Teiji Moriya''' has been the bomber all along. He was driven to this due to his obsession with symmetry. His plan was to blow up his older, less symmetrical works (Kurokawa, Mizushima, Yasuda, and Akutsu buildings, and Sumida canal bridge) and replace them with symmetrical structures (all of the bomb targets were either at or near buildings he designed). His hatred for Shinichi is due to the fact that, because of him, Mayor Okamoto (who supported his "Perfect Nishitama City") was arrested, and his building plan was stopped. With his crimes exposed, Moriya attempts to detonate the bombs inside his house, but is stopped when Conan reveals that he removed the batteries earlier when he planted some fake evidence (Moriya's disguise outfits) to lure him into spilling the beans. However, Moriya taunts the group that he has "one more" place that he wants to destroy.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Bombing
| image = Movie1f.jpg
| location = Beika City Building
| victim = [[Ran Mouri]] and various people trapped inside the building
| suspects = Teiji Moriya
| suspects-label = Culprit
| description = A large amount of bombs were planted throughout the building to destroy Moriya's "ultimate disgrace", and some of the explosions begin to seal all the entrances, killing and injuring many innocent people. Since the last and most gigantic explosion will occur at 0:03, it's now up to Ran to disarm the bomb by herself.
}}

[[File:Movie1g.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the bomb.]]
Several bombs are revealed to be in the mall where Ran is. They explode and many civilians get trapped in the building. Conan (who enters the building after the first explosion) contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the last and largest bomb. Ran finds the box with the bomb. Conan, who is now separated from Ran by a damaged door, guides her through cutting various wires using plans left by Moriya. Ran is down to two wires, a red one and a blue one. The plans do not include any instructions regarding these two wires. If the wrong one is cut, it would result in the bomb detonating.

Conan loses hope, since this means that there's almost no way to keep the bomb from exploding, and tells Ran to do as she likes, since they are going to die together at this rate. Conan is then found by rescue workers and taken out of the building while realizing then the red wire is booby-trapped. However, Ran can no longer hear Conan's instructions, so he believes her to be in trouble. To his surprise, Ran cuts the "blue wire" and saves everyone. While Kogoro has all credit with the press for the resolution, since Shinichi has of course requested to not reveal his involvement and then he left to believe the culprit's target was Ran's father, Conan asks Ran why she didn't cut the red wire (her lucky color). She replies that she didn't cut because she didn't want to sever the red string of fate between her and Shinichi.

The movie ends with Conan remarking that there is no "red string", and mentions that it's because "it's no use... as long as I'm Conan".</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Funimation's English dub ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Daizo Kurokawa - Magnum Cornhouser
:* Mina Kurokawa - Mina Cornhouser
:* Daisuke Kurokawa - Mortimer Cornhouser
:* Manami Nakazawa - Manami Goodsbe
:* Teiji Moriya - Leo Joel
* In the English Dub, the name of Manami's husband is Kevin. He was not named in the original version.
* In the English Dub, neither Kohei Okamoto or Mayor Okamoto are addressed by their name.
* Teiji Moriya is said to be from the UK, specifically England in the Funimation dub, and speaks with a British accent.

== Trivia ==
* This is the shortest Detective Conan theatrical film, with the duration being 95 minutes long.
* According to ''[[Wikipedia: Red thread of fate|The Legend of Red Thread]]'' poster, the movie's original author is Issei Shinnai and it is directed by Shunzo Kano while starring [[Minami Takayama|Sansei Takayama]] and [[Wakana Yamazaki|Wakkanai Yamazaki]].
* The type of vehicles shown in this movie are:
** In the flashback scene, Kohei Okamoto and his father drive a 1996 silver Toyota Crown Majesta S150. The license plate number is 新宿 33, す 32-59 (Shinjuku 33, Su 32-59).
** The TR Beika Line in real-life is [[Wikipedia: Yamanote Line|JR Yamanote Line]] and the JR Tokyo inspired from [[Wikipedia: 205 series|JR Yamanote Line 205-0 series set 30]].
* The scene with the bombs on the city loop line, which involves the trains needing to go over 60 kmph, is a reference to the action thriller movie ''[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_(1994_film) Speed]'', starring Keanu Reeves, in which a bus has a bomb placed on board that will detonate should the speed of the bus drop below 60 mph. Agasa even mentions that a speed detector could be related to the detonator, which is a direct and clear reference to that film.
* First visible proof of Conan having a phone for just Shinichi, which is probably different from Conan's phone, although this is not canon.
* The name of Moriya Teiji is a pun on the name of Sherlock Holmes' antagonist [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]] if written as "Moriarty J."
* Beika City Building is modeled after the [[Wikipedia: Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building|Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building]], the Mizushima Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Nymphenburg Palace|Nymphenburg Palace]], the Yasuda Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Johnston–Felton–Hay House|Johnston-Felton-Hay House]], and the Akutsu Mansion after [[Wikipedia: Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District|Glen Auburn]].
* This movie features voice actors that do not normally perform voice acting. Yomiuri TV announcer [[wikipedia:ja:野村明大|Meidai Nomura]] voices announcer Satoshi Yokoyama, and Shuji Kawatani and Hiroyuki Kohori of comedy duo [[wikipedia:ja:2丁拳銃|2-cho Kenju]] voice train passengers.

=== Situation ===
Daizo Kurokawa, a wealthy heart surgeon, was murdered in his own home, hit over the head with a statue. He left a dying message, grabbing the keys of his computer keyboard: JUN.

{{InfoBox Crime

}}

[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], wrongly of course, deduces that the dying message pointed to the victim's second wife Mina, saying that "JUN" means June and since June is also called "minazuki" or dry month and Mina was born in June, he wanted to leave a hint that he was murdered by his own wife. Mina is furious. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] hits Kogoro with his stun-wristwatch and begins explaining the actual facts of the case to the police and the three suspects.

<spoiler>

[[File:Movie1b.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Daizo is making the message "Ma-Na-Mi".]]
{{clear}}
The actual murderer was '''Manami Nagazawa''', the housekeeper of the Kurokawa family. The message wasn't supposed to be "JUN" because the computer keyboard was set to romaji instead of hiragana when the dying victim typed out his message. Switched to hiragana, the message reads "Ma-Na-Mi". Conan also makes Manami show everyone a bloodstain on her sock and she confesses. Her motive was revenge for her late husband, who died after a heart surgery performed by Daizo while he was drunk last year. Manami says she tried to find witnesses that Daizo got drunk before the surgery, but his colleagues were too scared to come forward. So, she decided to work for Daizo as a housekeeper and planned her revenge for this day, the first anniversary of her husband's death.
</spoiler>

[[File:Movie1c.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan finds an unusual letter in his mail, an invitation to a party addressed to Shinichi.]]
{{clear}}

Then, Conan goes to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house, Conan looks through his mail and finds an unusual-looking letter adressed to [[Shinichi Kudo]], inviting Shinichi to a party.

The letter was sent by famous architect Teiji Moriya. Conan decides to call [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and tells her about the invitation, asking her to go to the party in his stead because he is "too busy with his case" and that Kogoro and "that boy who lives with you" can join her as well.

Ran accepts, under the condition that Shinichi joins her for a movie the following Saturday. Conan, horrified, tries to get her to agree to a later date but she insists it has to be on Saturday, May 3. She also asks "Shinichi" if he prefers red or blue. Conan, confused, replies red is his favourite colour and says goodbye to Ran. He has no idea why Ran insists on meeting Shinichi on May 3. On the way home, he meets [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] who introduces him to another constable working in his department, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].

At home, Ran tells Conan and Kogoro that she is going on a date with Shinichi on May 3. She wants to take Shinichi to a late showing at the cinema and, at midnight, surprise him with a red polo shirt because he said red was his favourite colour. Conan suddenly remembers that Shinichi birthday is on May 4. Ran also explains about the tea party invitation and Kogoro isn't exactly enthusiastic about going, so Conan comes up with a trick to convince him.

[[File:Movie1d.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro is pondering Moriya's quiz.]]
{{clear}}

On April 29, Kogoro, Ran and Conan attend the tea party at Teiji Moriya's house and explain that Shinichi couldn't make it, but Kogoro came instead, delighting their host at having "another famous detective" as his guest. Moriya greets his guests and gives them a riddle, telling everyone that whoever solves it first gets a private tour of his gallery, with the photos of fourteen works. Conan quickly figures it out and Moriya takes him and Ran upstairs. They chat with the famous architect and Ran says that she is going on a date with Shinichi and they will go watch a film in a building designed by Moriya.

The following day, Ran goes shopping and Conan meets Professor Agasa, asking for his help because he has no idea what to do about his date with Ran. Agasa's TV is on and they watch the news. Someone stole a large quantity of octane from a plant, a gas used to make plastic explosives.

Worried, Agasa switches the TV off and his phone rings suddenly. Someone using a voice changing device asks for Shinichi so Agasa hands his phone over. The unknown caller explains that he is the one who stole the octane and asks for Shinichi's phone number. Conan gives it to him and the man tells him "go to Greenbelt Park or the kids will die."

Conan hurries to Greenbelt Park and sees his friends [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] playing with a remote controlled plane. Mitsuhiko explains to Conan that a strange man with a beard offered the plane to them. Conan has a closer look and notices that there is a bomb attached to the plane, telling Ayumi to let go of it immediately. Ayumi drops the toy and the antenna on top of the plane breaks, causing it to begin flying around uncontrollably. Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] and kicks the controller into the plane, blowing it up.

Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko escape in time. When Conan looks at the flames created by the exploding plane, he realises that the bomb was actually filled with plastic explosives and that this was a serious incident.

As he goes home, his phone rings again and someone says there is going to be another bomb waiting for him.

}}

Conan locates the second bomb and only just about gets it to a deserted place before it blows up. He is knocked back by the blast and hits a tree, falling unconscious.

Conan wakes up in hospital. Agasa says the culprit could have a grudge to settle with Shinichi and Megure agrees. They try to remember Shinichi's most famous cases to see if that provides any hint to the bomber's identity. Megure recalls a past case that was solved by Shinichi.

}}

Shinichi was called by Megure to help investigations.

<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* The fingerprints that were found on the car’s built-in lighter were that of Kohei Okamoto, but they were of his right hand, not his left hand which would only be possible if he was in the passenger seat.
==== Conclusion ====
Because the car’s built-in lighter has '''Kohei Okamoto''''s right hand fingerprints, not his left hand, it can be safely concluded that he was not the one who was driving but rather his father '''Shicho Okamoto''' instead.
==== Motive ====
Shinichi said the evidence didn't prove that Kohei was driving when the accident occurred and that he could be covering for his father, '''Shicho Okamoto'''. The evidence would support this.</spoiler>

There has been another bomb threat, this time somehow related to the train system. The threat carried another cryptic hint, "X the XX".

{{InfoBox Crime

}}

Conan figures out the hint- the bombs are located "between" the "rail tracks" ("X" the "XX") based on the bomber's other hints to keep the trains going above 60 km/h and that the bombs would explode at sunset. They realise the bombs are using solar power to reset their timers. As sunset approaches, the police help navigate the trains off the tracks and are able to safely recover all five bombs.

Megure and Shiratori, together with Conan and Kogoro, go to question Moriya.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan figures out that the famous architect '''Teiji Moriya''' has been the bomber all along. He was driven to this due to his obsession with symmetry. His plan was to blow up his older, less symmetrical works (Kurokawa, Mizushima, Yasuda, and Akutsu buildings, and Sumida canal bridge) and replace them with symmetrical structures (all of the bomb targets were either at or near buildings he designed). His hatred for Shinichi is due to the fact that, because of him, Mayor Okamoto (who supported his "Perfect Nishitama City") was arrested, and his building plan was stopped. With his crimes exposed, Moriya attempts to detonate the bombs inside his house, but is stopped when Conan reveals that he removed the batteries earlier when he planted some fake evidence (Moriya's disguise outfits) to lure him into spilling the beans. However, Moriya taunts the group that he has "one more" place that he wants to destroy.

| crime = Bombing

| description = A large amount of bombs were planted throughout the building to destroy Moriya's "ultimate disgrace", and some of the explosions begin to seal all the entrances, killing and injuring many innocent people. Since the last and most gigantic explosion will occur at 0:03, it's now up to Ran to disarm the bomb by herself.
}}

[[File:Movie1g.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the bomb.]]
Several bombs are revealed to be in the mall where Ran is. They explode and many civilians get trapped in the building. Conan (who enters the building after the first explosion) contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the last and largest bomb. Ran finds the box with the bomb. Conan, who is now separated from Ran by a damaged door, guides her through cutting various wires using plans left by Moriya. Ran is down to two wires, a red one and a blue one. The plans do not include any instructions regarding these two wires. If the wrong one is cut, it would result in the bomb detonating.

Conan loses hope, since this means that there's almost no way to keep the bomb from exploding, and tells Ran to do as she likes, since they are going to die together at this rate. Conan is then found by rescue workers and taken out of the building while realizing then the red wire is booby-trapped. However, Ran can no longer hear Conan's instructions, so he believes her to be in trouble. To his surprise, Ran cuts the "blue wire" and saves everyone. While Kogoro has all credit with the press for the resolution, since Shinichi has of course requested to not reveal his involvement and then he left to believe the culprit's target was Ran's father, Conan asks Ran why she didn't cut the red wire (her lucky color). She replies that she didn't cut because she didn't want to sever the red string of fate between her and Shinichi.

The movie ends with Conan remarking that there is no "red string", and mentions that it's because "it's no use... as long as I'm Conan".</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Funimation's English dub ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Daizo Kurokawa - Magnum Cornhouser
:* Mina Kurokawa - Mina Cornhouser
:* Daisuke Kurokawa - Mortimer Cornhouser
:* Manami Nakazawa - Manami Goodsbe
:* Teiji Moriya - Leo Joel
* In the English Dub, the name of Manami's husband is Kevin. He was not named in the original version.
* In the English Dub, neither Kohei Okamoto or Mayor Okamoto are addressed by their name.
* Teiji Moriya is said to be from the UK, specifically England in the Funimation dub, and speaks with a British accent.

== Trivia ==
* This is the shortest Detective Conan theatrical film, with the duration being 95 minutes long.
* According to ''[[Wikipedia: Red thread of fate|The Legend of Red Thread]]'' poster, the movie's original author is Issei Shinnai and it is directed by Shunzo Kano while starring [[Minami Takayama|Sansei Takayama]] and [[Wakana Yamazaki|Wakkanai Yamazaki]].
* The type of vehicles shown in this movie are:
** In the flashback scene, Kohei Okamoto and his father drive a 1996 silver Toyota Crown Majesta S150. The license plate number is 新宿 33, す 32-59 (Shinjuku 33, Su 32-59).
** The TR Beika Line in real-life is [[Wikipedia: Yamanote Line|JR Yamanote Line]] and the JR Tokyo inspired from [[Wikipedia: 205 series|JR Yamanote Line 205-0 series set 30]].
* The scene with the bombs on the city loop line, which involves the trains needing to go over 60 kmph, is a reference to the action thriller movie ''[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_(1994_film) Speed]'', starring Keanu Reeves, in which a bus has a bomb placed on board that will detonate should the speed of the bus drop below 60 mph. Agasa even mentions that a speed detector could be related to the detonator, which is a direct and clear reference to that film.
* First visible proof of Conan having a phone for just Shinichi, which is probably different from Conan's phone, although this is not canon.
* The name of Moriya Teiji is a pun on the name of Sherlock Holmes' antagonist [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]] if written as "Moriarty J."
* Beika City Building is modeled after the [[Wikipedia: Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building|Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building]], the Mizushima Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Nymphenburg Palace|Nymphenburg Palace]], the Yasuda Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Johnston–Felton–Hay House|Johnston-Felton-Hay House]], and the Akutsu Mansion after [[Wikipedia: Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District|Glen Auburn]].
* This movie features voice actors that do not normally perform voice acting. Yomiuri TV announcer [[wikipedia:ja:野村明大|Meidai Nomura]] voices announcer Satoshi Yokoyama, and Shuji Kawatani and Hiroyuki Kohori of comedy duo [[wikipedia:ja:2丁拳銃|2-cho Kenju]] voice train passengers.

== Music ==

=== Situation ===
Daizo Kurokawa, a wealthy heart surgeon, was murdered in his own home, hit over the head with a statue. He left a dying message, grabbing the keys of his computer keyboard: JUN.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder

| description = While the victim sat at his computer, the culprit snuck up behind and hit him over the head with a statue.
}}

[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], wrongly of course, deduces that the dying message pointed to the victim's second wife Mina, saying that "JUN" means June and since June is also called "minazuki" or dry month and Mina was born in June, he wanted to leave a hint that he was murdered by his own wife. Mina is furious. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] hits Kogoro with his stun-wristwatch and begins explaining the actual facts of the case to the police and the three suspects.

<spoiler>
[[File:Movie1a.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The culprit hits over Daizo's head.]]
[[File:Movie1b.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Daizo is making the message "Ma-Na-Mi".]]
{{clear}}
The actual murderer was '''Manami Nagazawa''', the housekeeper of the Kurokawa family. The message wasn't supposed to be "JUN" because the computer keyboard was set to romaji instead of hiragana when the dying victim typed out his message. Switched to hiragana, the message reads "Ma-Na-Mi". Conan also makes Manami show everyone a bloodstain on her sock and she confesses. Her motive was revenge for her late husband, who died after a heart surgery performed by Daizo while he was drunk last year. Manami says she tried to find witnesses that Daizo got drunk before the surgery, but his colleagues were too scared to come forward. So, she decided to work for Daizo as a housekeeper and planned her revenge for this day, the first anniversary of her husband's death.
</spoiler>

[[File:Movie1c.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan finds an unusual letter in his mail, an invitation to a party addressed to Shinichi.]]
{{clear}}

Then, Conan goes to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house, Conan looks through his mail and finds an unusual-looking letter adressed to [[Shinichi Kudo]], inviting Shinichi to a party.

The letter was sent by famous architect Teiji Moriya. Conan decides to call [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and tells her about the invitation, asking her to go to the party in his stead because he is "too busy with his case" and that Kogoro and "that boy who lives with you" can join her as well.

Ran accepts, under the condition that Shinichi joins her for a movie the following Saturday. Conan, horrified, tries to get her to agree to a later date but she insists it has to be on Saturday, May 3. She also asks "Shinichi" if he prefers red or blue. Conan, confused, replies red is his favourite colour and says goodbye to Ran. He has no idea why Ran insists on meeting Shinichi on May 3. On the way home, he meets [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] who introduces him to another constable working in his department, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].

At home, Ran tells Conan and Kogoro that she is going on a date with Shinichi on May 3. She wants to take Shinichi to a late showing at the cinema and, at midnight, surprise him with a red polo shirt because he said red was his favourite colour. Conan suddenly remembers that Shinichi birthday is on May 4. Ran also explains about the tea party invitation and Kogoro isn't exactly enthusiastic about going, so Conan comes up with a trick to convince him.

[[File:Movie1d.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro is pondering Moriya's quiz.]]
{{clear}}

On April 29, Kogoro, Ran and Conan attend the tea party at Teiji Moriya's house and explain that Shinichi couldn't make it, but Kogoro came instead, delighting their host at having "another famous detective" as his guest. Moriya greets his guests and gives them a riddle, telling everyone that whoever solves it first gets a private tour of his gallery, with the photos of fourteen works. Conan quickly figures it out and Moriya takes him and Ran upstairs. They chat with the famous architect and Ran says that she is going on a date with Shinichi and they will go watch a film in a building designed by Moriya.

The following day, Ran goes shopping and Conan meets Professor Agasa, asking for his help because he has no idea what to do about his date with Ran. Agasa's TV is on and they watch the news. Someone stole a large quantity of octane from a plant, a gas used to make plastic explosives.

Worried, Agasa switches the TV off and his phone rings suddenly. Someone using a voice changing device asks for Shinichi so Agasa hands his phone over. The unknown caller explains that he is the one who stole the octane and asks for Shinichi's phone number. Conan gives it to him and the man tells him "go to Greenbelt Park or the kids will die."

Conan hurries to Greenbelt Park and sees his friends [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] playing with a remote controlled plane. Mitsuhiko explains to Conan that a strange man with a beard offered the plane to them. Conan has a closer look and notices that there is a bomb attached to the plane, telling Ayumi to let go of it immediately. Ayumi drops the toy and the antenna on top of the plane breaks, causing it to begin flying around uncontrollably. Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] and kicks the controller into the plane, blowing it up.

Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko escape in time. When Conan looks at the flames created by the exploding plane, he realises that the bomb was actually filled with plastic explosives and that this was a serious incident.

As he goes home, his phone rings again and someone says there is going to be another bomb waiting for him.

Conan "borrows" a bicycle from a boy to catch up with her and manages to take the bomb to a riverside, where it explodes away from other people. This time, Conan suffers several injuries in the explosion.
}}

Conan locates the second bomb and only just about gets it to a deserted place before it blows up. He is knocked back by the blast and hits a tree, falling unconscious.

Conan wakes up in hospital. Agasa says the culprit could have a grudge to settle with Shinichi and Megure agrees. They try to remember Shinichi's most famous cases to see if that provides any hint to the bomber's identity. Megure recalls a past case that was solved by Shinichi.

{{InfoBox Crime

| description = A year ago, while driving and smoking, Kohei Okamoto accidentally fatally hit a young woman. However, something doesn't match.
}}

Shinichi was called by Megure to help investigations.

<spoiler>
===== Evidence =====
* The fingerprints that were found on the car’s built-in lighter were that of Kohei Okamoto, but they were of his right hand, not his left hand which would only be possible if he was in the passenger seat.
===== Conclusion =====
Because the car’s built-in lighter has '''Kohei Okamoto''''s right hand fingerprints, not his left hand, it can be safely concluded that he was not the one who was driving but rather his father '''Shicho Okamoto''' instead.
===== Motive =====
Shinichi said the evidence didn't prove that Kohei was driving when the accident occurred and that he could be covering for his father, '''Shicho Okamoto'''. The evidence would support this.</spoiler>

There has been another bomb threat, this time somehow related to the train system. The threat carried another cryptic hint, "X the XX".

{{InfoBox Crime

| description = Five bombs were planted on the train tracks. The police instruct the drivers to keep speeding up the trains or else the bombs will explode.
}}

Conan figures out the hint- the bombs are located "between" the "rail tracks" ("X" the "XX") based on the bomber's other hints to keep the trains going above 60 km/h and that the bombs would explode at sunset. They realise the bombs are using solar power to reset their timers. As sunset approaches, the police help navigate the trains off the tracks and are able to safely recover all five bombs.

Megure and Shiratori, together with Conan and Kogoro, go to question Moriya.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan figures out that the famous architect '''Teiji Moriya''' has been the bomber all along. He was driven to this due to his obsession with symmetry. His plan was to blow up his older, less symmetrical works (Kurokawa, Mizushima, Yasuda, and Akutsu buildings, and Sumida canal bridge) and replace them with symmetrical structures (all of the bomb targets were either at or near buildings he designed). His hatred for Shinichi is due to the fact that, because of him, Mayor Okamoto (who supported his "Perfect Nishitama City") was arrested, and his building plan was stopped. With his crimes exposed, Moriya attempts to detonate the bombs inside his house, but is stopped when Conan reveals that he removed the batteries earlier when he planted some fake evidence (Moriya's disguise outfits) to lure him into spilling the beans. However, Moriya taunts the group that he has "one more" place that he wants to destroy.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Bombing
| image = Movie1f.jpg
| location = Beika City Building
| victim = [[Ran Mouri]] and various people trapped inside the building
| suspects = Teiji Moriya
| suspects-label = Culprit
| description = A large amount of bombs were planted throughout the building to destroy Moriya's "ultimate disgrace", and some of the explosions begin to seal all the entrances, killing and injuring many innocent people. Since the last and most gigantic explosion will occur at 0:03, it's now up to Ran to disarm the bomb by herself.
}}

[[File:Movie1g.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the bomb.]]
Several bombs are revealed to be in the mall where Ran is. They explode and many civilians get trapped in the building. Conan (who enters the building after the first explosion) contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the last and largest bomb. Ran finds the box with the bomb. Conan, who is now separated from Ran by a damaged door, guides her through cutting various wires using plans left by Moriya. Ran is down to two wires, a red one and a blue one. The plans do not include any instructions regarding these two wires. If the wrong one is cut, it would result in the bomb detonating.

Conan loses hope, since this means that there's almost no way to keep the bomb from exploding, and tells Ran to do as she likes, since they are going to die together at this rate. Conan is then found by rescue workers and taken out of the building while realizing then the red wire is booby-trapped. However, Ran can no longer hear Conan's instructions, so he believes her to be in trouble. To his surprise, Ran cuts the "blue wire" and saves everyone. While Kogoro has all credit with the press for the resolution, since Shinichi has of course requested to not reveal his involvement and then he left to believe the culprit's target was Ran's father, Conan asks Ran why she didn't cut the red wire (her lucky color). She replies that she didn't cut because she didn't want to sever the red string of fate between her and Shinichi.

The movie ends with Conan remarking that there is no "red string", and mentions that it's because "it's no use... as long as I'm Conan".</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Funimation's English dub ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Daizo Kurokawa - Magnum Cornhouser
:* Mina Kurokawa - Mina Cornhouser
:* Daisuke Kurokawa - Mortimer Cornhouser
:* Manami Nakazawa - Manami Goodsbe
:* Teiji Moriya - Leo Joel
* In the English Dub, the name of Manami's husband is Kevin. He was not named in the original version.
* In the English Dub, neither Kohei Okamoto or Mayor Okamoto are addressed by their name.
* Teiji Moriya is said to be from the UK, specifically England in the Funimation dub, and speaks with a British accent.

== Trivia ==
* This is the shortest Detective Conan theatrical film, with the duration being 95 minutes long.
* According to ''[[Wikipedia: Red thread of fate|The Legend of Red Thread]]'' poster, the movie's original author is Issei Shinnai and it is directed by Shunzo Kano while starring [[Minami Takayama|Sansei Takayama]] and [[Wakana Yamazaki|Wakkanai Yamazaki]].
* The type of vehicles shown in this movie are:
** In the flashback scene, Kohei Okamoto and his father drive a 1996 silver Toyota Crown Majesta S150. The license plate number is 新宿 33, す 32-59 (Shinjuku 33, Su 32-59).
** The TR Beika Line in real-life is [[Wikipedia: Yamanote Line|JR Yamanote Line]] and the JR Tokyo inspired from [[Wikipedia: 205 series|JR Yamanote Line 205-0 series set 30]].
* The scene with the bombs on the city loop line, which involves the trains needing to go over 60 kmph, is a reference to the action thriller movie ''[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_(1994_film) Speed]'', starring Keanu Reeves, in which a bus has a bomb placed on board that will detonate should the speed of the bus drop below 60 mph. Agasa even mentions that a speed detector could be related to the detonator, which is a direct and clear reference to that film.
* First visible proof of Conan having a phone for just Shinichi, which is probably different from Conan's phone, although this is not canon.
* The name of Moriya Teiji is a pun on the name of Sherlock Holmes' antagonist [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]] if written as "Moriarty J."
* Beika City Building is modeled after the [[Wikipedia: Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building|Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building]], the Mizushima Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Nymphenburg Palace|Nymphenburg Palace]], the Yasuda Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Johnston–Felton–Hay House|Johnston-Felton-Hay House]], and the Akutsu Mansion after [[Wikipedia: Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District|Glen Auburn]].
* This movie features voice actors that do not normally perform voice acting. Yomiuri TV announcer [[wikipedia:ja:野村明大|Meidai Nomura]] voices announcer Satoshi Yokoyama, and Shuji Kawatani and Hiroyuki Kohori of comedy duo [[wikipedia:ja:2丁拳銃|2-cho Kenju]] voice train passengers.

== Music ==
{{main|Detective Conan "The Time-Bombed Skyscraper" Original Soundtrack}}
The soundtrack is composed and arranged by Katsuo Ohno. The Ending theme song is ''[[Happy Birthday]]'', sung by [[Kyoko]]. There are two insert songs in the movie, ''[[Kimi ga Ireba]]'' and ''[[Aitaiyo]]'', sung by [[Iori (artist)|Iori]].

=== Situation ===
Daizo Kurokawa, a wealthy heart surgeon, was murdered in his own home, hit over the head with a statue. He left a dying message, grabbing the keys of his computer keyboard: JUN.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = Movie1 Case1.jpg
| location = Kurokawa household, Tokyo forest
| victim = Daizo Kurokawa
| age = 62 years old
| cause-death = Blunt-force trauma
| suspects = Mina Kurokawa, Daisuke Kurokawa, and Manami Nagazawa
| description = While the victim sat at his computer, the culprit snuck up behind and hit him over the head with a statue.
}}

[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], wrongly of course, deduces that the dying message pointed to the victim's second wife Mina, saying that "JUN" means June and since June is also called "minazuki" or dry month and Mina was born in June, he wanted to leave a hint that he was murdered by his own wife. Mina is furious. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] hits Kogoro with his stun-wristwatch and begins explaining the actual facts of the case to the police and the three suspects.

<spoiler>
[[File:Movie1a.jpg|thumb|200px|The culprit hits over Daizo's head.]]
[[File:Movie1b.jpg|thumb|200px|Daizo is making the message "Ma-Na-Mi".]]
The actual murderer was '''Manami Nagazawa''', the housekeeper of the Kurokawa family. The message wasn't supposed to be "JUN" because the computer keyboard was set to romaji instead of hiragana when the dying victim typed out his message. Switched to hiragana, the message reads "Ma-Na-Mi". Conan also makes Manami show everyone a bloodstain on her sock and she confesses. Her motive was revenge for her late husband, who died after a heart surgery performed by Daizo while he was drunk last year. Manami says she tried to find witnesses that Daizo got drunk before the surgery, but his colleagues were too scared to come forward. So, she decided to work for Daizo as a housekeeper and planned her revenge for this day, the first anniversary of her husband's death.</spoiler>

[[File:Movie1c.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan finds an unusual letter in his mail, an invitation to a party addressed to Shinichi.]]
Then, Conan goes to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house, Conan looks through his mail and finds an unusual-looking letter adressed to [[Shinichi Kudo]], inviting Shinichi to a party.
The letter was sent by famous architect Teiji Moriya. Conan decides to call [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and tells her about the invitation, asking her to go to the party in his stead because he is "too busy with his case" and that Kogoro and "that boy who lives with you" can join her as well.

Ran accepts, under the condition that Shinichi joins her for a movie the following Saturday. Conan, horrified, tries to get her to agree to a later date but she insists it has to be on Saturday, May 3. She also asks "Shinichi" if he prefers red or blue. Conan, confused, replies red is his favourite colour and says goodbye to Ran. He has no idea why Ran insists on meeting Shinichi on May 3. On the way home, he meets [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] who introduces him to another constable working in his department, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].

At home, Ran tells Conan and Kogoro that she is going on a date with Shinichi on May 3. She wants to take Shinichi to a late showing at the cinema and, at midnight, surprise him with a red polo shirt because he said red was his favourite colour. Conan suddenly remembers that Shinichi birthday is on May 4. Ran also explains about the tea party invitation and Kogoro isn't exactly enthusiastic about going, so Conan comes up with a trick to convince him.

[[File:Movie1d.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro is pondering Moriya's quiz.]]
On April 29, Kogoro, Ran and Conan attend the tea party at Teiji Moriya's house and explain that Shinichi couldn't make it, but Kogoro came instead, delighting their host at having "another famous detective" as his guest. Moriya greets his guests and gives them a riddle, telling everyone that whoever solves it first gets a private tour of his gallery, with the photos of fourteen works. Conan quickly figures it out and Moriya takes him and Ran upstairs. They chat with the famous architect and Ran says that she is going on a date with Shinichi and they will go watch a film in a building designed by Moriya.

The following day, Ran goes shopping and Conan meets Professor Agasa, asking for his help because he has no idea what to do about his date with Ran. Agasa's TV is on and they watch the news. Someone stole a large quantity of octane from a plant, a gas used to make plastic explosives.

Worried, Agasa switches the TV off and his phone rings suddenly. Someone using a voice changing device asks for Shinichi so Agasa hands his phone over. The unknown caller explains that he is the one who stole the octane and asks for Shinichi's phone number. Conan gives it to him and the man tells him "go to Greenbelt Park or the kids will die."

Conan hurries to Greenbelt Park and sees his friends [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] playing with a remote controlled plane. Mitsuhiko explains to Conan that a strange man with a beard offered the plane to them. Conan has a closer look and notices that there is a bomb attached to the plane, telling Ayumi to let go of it immediately. Ayumi drops the toy and the antenna on top of the plane breaks, causing it to begin flying around uncontrollably. Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] and kicks the controller into the plane, blowing it up.

Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko escape in time. When Conan looks at the flames created by the exploding plane, he realises that the bomb was actually filled with plastic explosives and that this was a serious incident.

As he goes home, his phone rings again and someone says there is going to be another bomb waiting for him.

| description = A second bomb is planted in a cat box alongside a stray cat, which was taken by an unaware old lady. Conan "borrows" a bicycle from a boy to catch up with her and manages to take the bomb to a riverside, where it explodes away from other people. This time, Conan suffers several injuries in the explosion.
}}

Conan locates the second bomb and only just about gets it to a deserted place before it blows up. He is knocked back by the blast and hits a tree, falling unconscious.

Conan wakes up in hospital. Agasa says the culprit could have a grudge to settle with Shinichi and Megure agrees. They try to remember Shinichi's most famous cases to see if that provides any hint to the bomber's identity. Megure recalls a past case that was solved by Shinichi.

{{InfoBox Crime

| age = 25 years old
| cause-death = Hit by a car
| suspects = Kohei Okamoto and his father
| description = A year ago, while driving and smoking, Kohei Okamoto accidentally fatally hit a young woman. However, something doesn't match.
}}

Shinichi was called by Megure to help investigations.

<spoiler>
===== Evidence =====
* The fingerprints that were found on the car’s built-in lighter were that of Kohei Okamoto, but they were of his right hand not his left hand which would only be possible if he was in the passenger seat.
===== Conclusion =====
Because the car’s built-in lighter has‘’’Kohei Okamoto’’’ fingerprints that belong to his right hand, but not his left hand which proves that he was not the one who was driving but rather his father ‘’’Shicho Okamoto’’’ instead.
===== Motive =====
Shinichi said the evidence didn't prove that Kohei was driving when the accident occurred and that he could be covering for his father, '''Mayor Okamoto'''. The evidence would support this.</spoiler>

There has been another bomb threat, this time somehow related to the train system. The threat carried another cryptic hint, "X the XX".

{{InfoBox Crime

| location = Train tracks and a bridge on Yamanote line
| victim =
| suspects = Unknown bomber
| description = Five bombs were planted on the train tracks. The police instruct the drivers to keep speeding up the trains or else the bombs will explode.
}}

Conan figures out the hint- the bombs are located "between" the "rail tracks" ("X" the "XX") based on the bomber's other hints to keep the trains going above 60 km/h and that the bombs would explode at sunset. They realise the bombs are using solar power to reset their timers. As sunset approaches, the police help navigate the trains off the tracks and are able to safely recover all five bombs.

Megure and Shiratori, together with Conan and Kogoro, go to question Moriya.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan figures out that the famous architect '''Teiji Moriya''' has been the bomber all along. He was driven to this due to his obsession with symmetry. His plan was to blow up his older, less symmetrical works (Kurokawa, Mizushima, Yasuda, and Akutsu buildings, and Sumida canal bridge) and replace them with symmetrical structures (all of the bomb targets were either at or near buildings he designed). His hatred for Shinichi is due to the fact that, because of him, Mayor Okamoto (who supported his "Perfect Nishitama City") was arrested, and his building plan was stopped. With his crimes exposed, Moriya attempts to detonate the bombs inside his house, but is stopped when Conan reveals that he removed the batteries earlier when he planted some fake evidence (Moriya's disguise outfits) to lure him into spilling the beans. However, Moriya taunts the group that he has "one more" place that he wants to destroy.

| description = A large amount of bombs were planted throughout the building to destroy Moriya's "ultimate disgrace", and some of the explosions begin to seal all the entrances, killing and injuring many innocent people. Since the last and most gigantic explosion will occur at 0:03, it's now up to Ran to disarm the bomb by herself.

[[File:Movie1g.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the bomb.]]
Several bombs are revealed to be in the mall where Ran is. They explode and many civilians get trapped in the building. Conan (who enters the building after the first explosion) contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the last and largest bomb. Ran finds the box with the bomb. Conan, who is now separated from Ran by a damaged door, guides her through cutting various wires using plans left by Moriya. Ran is down to two wires, a red one and a blue one. The plans do not include any instructions regarding these two wires. If the wrong one is cut, it would result in the bomb detonating.

Conan loses hope, since this means that there's almost no way to keep the bomb from exploding, and tells Ran to do as she likes, since they are going to die together at this rate. Conan is then found by rescue workers and taken out of the building while realizing then the red wire is booby-trapped. However, Ran can no longer hear Conan's instructions, so he believes her to be in trouble. To his surprise, Ran cuts the "blue wire" and saves everyone. While Kogoro has all credit with the press for the resolution, since Shinichi has of course requested to not reveal his involvement and then he left to believe the culprit's target was Ran's father, Conan asks Ran why she didn't cut the red wire (her lucky color). She replies that she didn't cut because she didn't want to sever the red string of fate between her and Shinichi.

The movie ends with Conan remarking that there is no "red string", and mentions that it's because "it's no use... as long as I'm Conan".</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Funimation's English dub ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Daizo Kurokawa - Magnum Cornhouser
:* Mina Kurokawa - Mina Cornhouser
:* Daisuke Kurokawa - Mortimer Cornhouser
:* Manami Nakazawa - Manami Goodsbe
:* Teiji Moriya - Leo Joel
* In the English Dub, the name of Manami's husband is Kevin. He was not named in the original version.
* In the English Dub, neither Kohei Okamoto or Mayor Okamoto are addressed by their name.
* Teiji Moriya is said to be from the UK, specifically England in the Funimation dub, and speaks with a British accent.

== Trivia ==
* This is the shortest Detective Conan theatrical film, with the duration being 95 minutes long.
* According to ''[[Wikipedia: Red thread of fate|The Legend of Red Thread]]'' poster, the movie's original author is Issei Shinnai and it is directed by Shunzo Kano while starring [[Minami Takayama|Sansei Takayama]] and [[Wakana Yamazaki|Wakkanai Yamazaki]].
* The type of vehicles shown in this movie are:
** In the flashback scene, Kohei Okamoto and his father drive a 1996 silver Toyota Crown Majesta S150. The license plate number is 新宿 33, す 32-59 (Shinjuku 33, Su 32-59).
** The TR Beika Line in real-life is [[Wikipedia: Yamanote Line|JR Yamanote Line]] and the JR Tokyo inspired from [[Wikipedia: 205 series|JR Yamanote Line 205-0 series set 30]].
* The scene with the bombs on the city loop line, which involves the trains needing to go over 60 kmph, is a reference to the action thriller movie ''[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_(1994_film) Speed]'', starring Keanu Reeves, in which a bus has a bomb placed on board that will detonate should the speed of the bus drop below 60 mph. Agasa even mentions that a speed detector could be related to the detonator, which is a direct and clear reference to that film.
* First visible proof of Conan having a phone for just Shinichi, which is probably different from Conan's phone, although this is not canon.
* The name of Moriya Teiji is a pun on the name of Sherlock Holmes' antagonist [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]] if written as "Moriarty J."
* Beika City Building is modeled after the [[Wikipedia: Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building|Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building]], the Mizushima Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Nymphenburg Palace|Nymphenburg Palace]], the Yasuda Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Johnston–Felton–Hay House|Johnston-Felton-Hay House]], and the Akutsu Mansion after [[Wikipedia: Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District|Glen Auburn]].
* This movie features voice actors that do not normally perform voice acting. Yomiuri TV announcer [[wikipedia:ja:野村明大|Meidai Nomura]] voices announcer Satoshi Yokoyama, and Shuji Kawatani and Hiroyuki Kohori of comedy duo [[wikipedia:ja:2丁拳銃|2-cho Kenju]] voice train passengers.

=== Situation ===
Daizo Kurokawa, a wealthy heart surgeon, was murdered in his own home, hit over the head with a statue. He left a dying message, grabbing the keys of his computer keyboard: JUN.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = Movie1 Case1.jpg
| location = Kurokawa household, Tokyo forest
| victim = Daizo Kurokawa
| age = 62 years old
| cause-death = Blunt-force trauma
| suspects = Mina Kurokawa, Daisuke Kurokawa, and Manami Nagazawa
| description = While the victim sat at his computer, the culprit snuck up behind and hit him over the head with a statue.
}}

[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], wrongly of course, deduces that the dying message pointed to the victim's second wife Mina, saying that "JUN" means June and since June is also called "minazuki" or dry month and Mina was born in June, he wanted to leave a hint that he was murdered by his own wife. Mina is furious. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] hits Kogoro with his stun-wristwatch and begins explaining the actual facts of the case to the police and the three suspects.

<spoiler>
[[File:Movie1a.jpg|thumb|200px|The culprit hits over Daizo's head.]]
[[File:Movie1b.jpg|thumb|200px|Daizo is making the message "Ma-Na-Mi".]]
The actual murderer was '''Manami Nagazawa''', the housekeeper of the Kurokawa family. The message wasn't supposed to be "JUN" because the computer keyboard was set to romaji instead of hiragana when the dying victim typed out his message. Switched to hiragana, the message reads "Ma-Na-Mi". Conan also makes Manami show everyone a bloodstain on her sock and she confesses. Her motive was revenge for her late husband, who died after a heart surgery performed by Daizo while he was drunk last year. Manami says she tried to find witnesses that Daizo got drunk before the surgery, but his colleagues were too scared to come forward. So, she decided to work for Daizo as a housekeeper and planned her revenge for this day, the first anniversary of her husband's death.</spoiler>

[[File:Movie1c.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan finds an unusual letter in his mail, an invitation to a party addressed to Shinichi.]]
Then, Conan goes to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house, Conan looks through his mail and finds an unusual-looking letter adressed to [[Shinichi Kudo]], inviting Shinichi to a party.
The letter was sent by famous architect Teiji Moriya. Conan decides to call [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and tells her about the invitation, asking her to go to the party in his stead because he is "too busy with his case" and that Kogoro and "that boy who lives with you" can join her as well.

Ran accepts, under the condition that Shinichi joins her for a movie the following Saturday. Conan, horrified, tries to get her to agree to a later date but she insists it has to be on Saturday, May 3. She also asks "Shinichi" if he prefers red or blue. Conan, confused, replies red is his favourite colour and says goodbye to Ran. He has no idea why Ran insists on meeting Shinichi on May 3. On the way home, he meets [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] who introduces him to another constable working in his department, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].

At home, Ran tells Conan and Kogoro that she is going on a date with Shinichi on May 3. She wants to take Shinichi to a late showing at the cinema and, at midnight, surprise him with a red polo shirt because he said red was his favourite colour. Conan suddenly remembers that Shinichi birthday is on May 4. Ran also explains about the tea party invitation and Kogoro isn't exactly enthusiastic about going, so Conan comes up with a trick to convince him.

[[File:Movie1d.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro is pondering Moriya's quiz.]]
On April 29, Kogoro, Ran and Conan attend the tea party at Teiji Moriya's house and explain that Shinichi couldn't make it, but Kogoro came instead, delighting their host at having "another famous detective" as his guest. Moriya greets his guests and gives them a riddle, telling everyone that whoever solves it first gets a private tour of his gallery, with the photos of fourteen works. Conan quickly figures it out and Moriya takes him and Ran upstairs. They chat with the famous architect and Ran says that she is going on a date with Shinichi and they will go watch a film in a building designed by Moriya.

The following day, Ran goes shopping and Conan meets Professor Agasa, asking for his help because he has no idea what to do about his date with Ran. Agasa's TV is on and they watch the news. Someone stole a large quantity of octane from a plant, a gas used to make plastic explosives.

Worried, Agasa switches the TV off and his phone rings suddenly. Someone using a voice changing device asks for Shinichi so Agasa hands his phone over. The unknown caller explains that he is the one who stole the octane and asks for Shinichi's phone number. Conan gives it to him and the man tells him "go to Greenbelt Park or the kids will die."

Conan hurries to Greenbelt Park and sees his friends [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] playing with a remote controlled plane. Mitsuhiko explains to Conan that a strange man with a beard offered the plane to them. Conan has a closer look and notices that there is a bomb attached to the plane, telling Ayumi to let go of it immediately. Ayumi drops the toy and the antenna on top of the plane breaks, causing it to begin flying around uncontrollably. Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] and kicks the controller into the plane, blowing it up.

Conan, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko escape in time. When Conan looks at the flames created by the exploding plane, he realises that the bomb was actually filled with plastic explosives and that this was a serious incident.

As he goes home, his phone rings again and someone says there is going to be another bomb waiting for him.

Conan "borrows" a bicycle from a boy to catch up with her and manages to take the bomb to a riverside, where it explodes away from other people. This time, Conan suffers several injuries in the explosion.
}}

Conan locates the second bomb and only just about gets it to a deserted place before it blows up. He is knocked back by the blast and hits a tree, falling unconscious.

Conan wakes up in hospital. Agasa says the culprit could have a grudge to settle with Shinichi and Megure agrees. They try to remember Shinichi's most famous cases to see if that provides any hint to the bomber's identity. Megure recalls a past case that was solved by Shinichi.

Shinichi was called by Megure to help investigations.

<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
==== Conclusion ====
==== Motive ====
Shinichi said the evidence didn't prove that Kohei was driving when the accident occurred and that he could be covering for his father, '''Mayor Okamoto'''. The evidence would support this.</spoiler>

There has been another bomb threat, this time somehow related to the train system. The threat carried another cryptic hint, "X the XX".

| description = Five bombs were planted on the train tracks. The police instruct the drivers to keep speeding up the trains or else the bombs will explode.
}}

Conan figures out the hint- the bombs are located "between" the "rail tracks" ("X" the "XX") based on the bomber's other hints to keep the trains going above 60 km/h and that the bombs would explode at sunset. They realise the bombs are using solar power to reset their timers. As sunset approaches, the police help navigate the trains off the tracks and are able to safely recover all five bombs.

Megure and Shiratori, together with Conan and Kogoro, go to question Moriya.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan figures out that the famous architect '''Teiji Moriya''' has been the bomber all along. He was driven to this due to his obsession with symmetry. His plan was to blow up his older, less symmetrical works (Kurokawa, Mizushima, Yasuda, and Akutsu buildings, and Sumida canal bridge) and replace them with symmetrical structures (all of the bomb targets were either at or near buildings he designed). His hatred for Shinichi is due to the fact that, because of him, Mayor Okamoto (who supported his "Perfect Nishitama City") was arrested, and his building plan was stopped. With his crimes exposed, Moriya attempts to detonate the bombs inside his house, but is stopped when Conan reveals that he removed the batteries earlier when he planted some fake evidence (Moriya's disguise outfits) to lure him into spilling the beans. However, Moriya taunts the group that he has "one more" place that he wants to destroy.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Bombing
| image = Movie1f.jpg
| location = Beika City Building
| victim = [[Ran Mouri]] and various people trapped inside the building
| suspects = Teiji Moriya
| suspects-label = Culprit
| description = A large amount of bombs were planted throughout the building to destroy Moriya's "ultimate disgrace", and some of the explosions begin to seal all the entrances, killing and injuring many innocent people. Since the last and most gigantic explosion will occur at 0:03, it's now up to Ran to disarm the bomb by herself.
}}

[[File:Movie1g.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the bomb.]]
Several bombs are revealed to be in the mall where Ran is. They explode and many civilians get trapped in the building. Conan (who enters the building after the first explosion) contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the last and largest bomb. Ran finds the box with the bomb. Conan, who is now separated from Ran by a damaged door, guides her through cutting various wires using plans left by Moriya. Ran is down to two wires, a red one and a blue one. The plans do not include any instructions regarding these two wires. If the wrong one is cut, it would result in the bomb detonating.

Conan loses hope, since this means that there's almost no way to keep the bomb from exploding, and tells Ran to do as she likes, since they are going to die together at this rate. Conan is then found by rescue workers and taken out of the building while realizing then the red wire is booby-trapped. However, Ran can no longer hear Conan's instructions, so he believes her to be in trouble. To his surprise, Ran cuts the "blue wire" and saves everyone. While Kogoro has all credit with the press for the resolution, since Shinichi has of course requested to not reveal his involvement and then he left to believe the culprit's target was Ran's father, Conan asks Ran why she didn't cut the red wire (her lucky color). She replies that she didn't cut because she didn't want to sever the red string of fate between her and Shinichi.

The movie ends with Conan remarking that there is no "red string", and mentions that it's because "it's no use... as long as I'm Conan".</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Funimation's English dub ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Daizo Kurokawa - Magnum Cornhouser
:* Mina Kurokawa - Mina Cornhouser
:* Daisuke Kurokawa - Mortimer Cornhouser
:* Manami Nakazawa - Manami Goodsbe
:* Teiji Moriya - Leo Joel
* In the English Dub, the name of Manami's husband is Kevin. He was not named in the original version.
* In the English Dub, neither Kohei Okamoto or Mayor Okamoto are addressed by their name.
* Teiji Moriya is said to be from the UK, specifically England in the Funimation dub, and speaks with a British accent.

== Trivia ==
* This is the shortest Detective Conan theatrical film, with the duration being 95 minutes long.
* According to ''[[Wikipedia: Red thread of fate|The Legend of Red Thread]]'' poster, the movie's original author is Issei Shinnai and it is directed by Shunzo Kano while starring [[Minami Takayama|Sansei Takayama]] and [[Wakana Yamazaki|Wakkanai Yamazaki]].
* The type of vehicles shown in this movie are:
** In the flashback scene, Kohei Okamoto and his father drive a 1996 silver Toyota Crown Majesta S150. The license plate number is 新宿 33, す 32-59 (Shinjuku 33, Su 32-59).
** The TR Beika Line in real-life is [[Wikipedia: Yamanote Line|JR Yamanote Line]] and the JR Tokyo inspired from [[Wikipedia: 205 series|JR Yamanote Line 205-0 series set 30]].
* The scene with the bombs on the city loop line, which involves the trains needing to go over 60 kmph, is a reference to the action thriller movie ''[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_(1994_film) Speed]'', starring Keanu Reeves, in which a bus has a bomb placed on board that will detonate should the speed of the bus drop below 60 mph. Agasa even mentions that a speed detector could be related to the detonator, which is a direct and clear reference to that film.
* First visible proof of Conan having a phone for just Shinichi, which is probably different from Conan's phone, although this is not canon.
* The name of Moriya Teiji is a pun on the name of Sherlock Holmes' antagonist [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]] if written as "Moriarty J."
* Beika City Building is modeled after the [[Wikipedia: Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building|Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building]], the Mizushima Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Nymphenburg Palace|Nymphenburg Palace]], the Yasuda Mansion after the [[Wikipedia: Johnston–Felton–Hay House|Johnston-Felton-Hay House]], and the Akutsu Mansion after [[Wikipedia: Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District|Glen Auburn]].
* This movie features voice actors that do not normally perform voice acting. Yomiuri TV announcer [[wikipedia:ja:野村明大|Meidai Nomura]] voices announcer Satoshi Yokoyama, and Shuji Kawatani and Hiroyuki Kohori of comedy duo [[wikipedia:ja:2丁拳銃|2-cho Kenju]] voice train passengers.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* As Kenya was about to throw to ball he stopped because he saw someone.
* One of the windows is broken and there is an ladder underneath it.
* The key to the storeroom is missing.
* The floor of the Principal's office is scratch free meaning that the criminal entered thru the door.
* The slash marks on the flag
* The school use to be the top prep school, but because the school introduced sports some people like the headmaster
==== Conclusion ====
The '''Principal''' was the one who torn up the flag.
==== Motive ====
The one who torn the flag with the cutter knife is the '''principal''' because the chairman wanted the team to withdraw from the tournament. Kenya only admitted to doing it to protect his mother who he thought did it.

==== Conclusion ====
'''Noriko Okaya''' is planning to kill
==== Motive ====
[[File:EP37 Case.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan is showing the cactuses to Noriko Okaya.]]
It's revealed that '''Noriko Okaya''' planned to kill Tsuyoshi Kitagawa and his fiancée, to punish them for causing the death of her lover Tastsuo. Dr. Saeki, the late Tatsuo's best friend and Noriko's treating doctor, explains her past to Conan and the Mouris. It is revealed that when they Noriko and Tatsuo had been driving on a mountain highway, Tsuyoshi and his fiancée had been driving erratically on the road and in an attempt to get ahead of them to ignore them Tatsuo accidentally crashed their car.

The rowdy couple just laughed and sneered while driving off without stopping to help or check to see if they were alright or not. Luckily some Good Samaritans came and helped pull Noriko out of the wreckage, however before they could get to Tatsuo their car exploded leaving Noriko to watch in horror as she watched the man she loved die in right in front of her eyes.

While recovering in the hospital Noriko learned that it was very unlikely that the rowdy couple would be convicted or sent to prison. Instead she worked herself to the bone to get back on her feet all to get revenge on the ones that killed her beloved.

==== Conclusion ====
==== Motive ====
[[File:EP37 Case.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan is showing the cactuses to Noriko Okaya.]]
It's revealed that '''Noriko Okaya''' planned to kill Tsuyoshi Kitagawa and his fiancée, to punish them for causing the death of her lover Tastsuo. Dr. Saeki, the late Tatsuo's best friend and Noriko's treating doctor, explains her past to Conan and the Mouris. It is revealed that when they Noriko and Tatsuo had been driving on a mountain highway, Tsuyoshi and his fiancée had been driving erratically on the road and in an attempt to get ahead of them to ignore them Tatsuo accidentally crashed their car.

The rowdy couple just laughed and sneered while driving off without stopping to help or check to see if they were alright or not. Luckily some Good Samaritans came and helped pull Noriko out of the wreckage, however before they could get to Tatsuo their car exploded leaving Noriko to watch in horror as she watched the man she loved die in right in front of her eyes.

While recovering in the hospital Noriko learned that it was very unlikely that the rowdy couple would be convicted or sent to prison. Instead she worked herself to the bone to get back on her feet all to get revenge on the ones that killed her beloved.

AllB33:

== Some editing recommendations (and welcome to our wiki!) ==

Hello Tuan, and welcome to our (currently small) team of contributors! I saw your edits to [[The Secret's Afterimage|'''Episode 1161:''' The Secret's Afterimage]] and I've found a few things that you could improve on. The '''first''' is putting spoilers in spoiler boxes. Your resolution (shown below) reveals a major event of this episode that will make readers lose they're interest in watching the episode after reading the resolution, hence, a "spoiler." {{quote|The woman going with inspector Sawatari is Wani's girlfriends while Wani is also Sawatari's senpai, however, Wani has sacrificed in the event of the one-eyed flashback. Sawatari felt himself owning his senpai a lot, so he tried to help the woman to take what is destined to be her but currently not to due to his boyfriend's death, but he can't do that on his own due to the shop policy, so he ask her for help so the gift from Wani can be given to her. In the end, Megure decided to overlook this while him, Mori, Sawatari and Want's girlfriend burst into tear in memory of Wani}}
You can hide spoilers in spoiler box by putting the text in between <nowiki><spoiler></nowiki> and <nowiki></spoiler></nowiki> like this:
<pre><spoiler>The woman going with inspector Sawatari is Wani's girlfriends while Wani is also Sawatari's senpai, however, Wani has sacrificed in the event of the one-eyed flashback. Sawatari felt himself owning his senpai a lot, so he tried to help the woman to take what is destined to be her but currently not to due to his boyfriend's death, but he can't do that on his own due to the shop policy, so he ask her for help so the gift from Wani can be given to her. In the end, Megure decided to overlook this while him, Mori, Sawatari and Want's girlfriend burst into tear in memory of Wani</spoiler></pre>
Which gives you this (click on the Show spoilers link to read the hidden text):
<spoiler>The woman going with inspector Sawatari is Wani's girlfriends while Wani is also Sawatari's senpai, however, Wani has sacrificed in the event of the one-eyed flashback. Sawatari felt himself owning his senpai a lot, so he tried to help the woman to take what is destined to be her but currently not to due to his boyfriend's death, but he can't do that on his own due to the shop policy, so he ask her for help so the gift from Wani can be given to her. In the end, Megure decided to overlook this while him, Mori, Sawatari and Want's girlfriend burst into tear in memory of Wani</spoiler>

A second thing I'd like to note, and may need more effort to work on, is grammar and spelling issues. While it is not always possible to be 100% writing error-free the first time around, using software like Google Docs and Microsoft Word can help point out these errors. Rereading your writing will also help in finding these errors. A wiki with lots of writing errors is considered low-quality and readers will stay away from those sites, but as contributors of this wiki, we're on a mission to prevent that and create the best wiki possible.

And with that, I'd like to once again, unofficially, welcome to you that mission. Hope to see the improvement in your edits very soon! --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 20:40, 4 May 2025 (UTC)

Hello, Tuan here, sorry not recieving the message til now (6th May 2025, 8:38 , UTC) I've Almost Never Notice About Coding In This Page But Glad To Recieve Extra Help And Improvement Suggestions! I Tried To Rewrite The Setences Correctly But Don't Actually Know How To Use The GG Doc Or Word To Find Errors, While Sometime My English Isn't Englishing (Working Properly) , I'll Get To Fix As Soon As I Get Extra Notification Or When I'm Fully Aware Of Grammarly While Editing, Which May Take Extra Time. Thank You For The Suggestions --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 20:41, 6 May 2025 (UTC)

:Hello again! It's okay if you're not feeling confident about writing correct English; we have other tasks that are just as important, such as uploading images, creating new pages for the latest chapters/episodes, and, more recently, maintaining the [[Yaiba: Samurai Legend|Yaiba]] area of our wiki. If I were to suggest the easiest out of all of these, for a beginner, is uploading the image for the latest episode. As of now [[:File:TV_Episode_1161.jpg|TV_Episode_1161.jpg]] has not been uploaded yet, so you can try that out first. Remember that the image:
:* Must not be stretched or compressed
:* Has no watermarks (See the first few sentences of the following website for a quick summary of what watermarks are: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/digital-watermarking-and-its-types/)
:* Is able to represent the episode (You can see other episode images for an example)
:--[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:16, 7 May 2025 (UTC) P.S. Always attach <nowiki>--~~~~</nowiki> at the end of your talk page messages to create a signature.

::Hello again! I can only contribute as a casual viewers as i don't have too much sense of the TV show completely, so i'd be here to add some summary of which i can ever understand (Check : Yuya Kazami Non-canon appearance movie 25), so most of the contribution is still up to you and the team itself --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 07:22, 7 May 2025 (UTC) P.S : I'm on my way to add episode summary for missing episode whenever it's possible, no spoiler on the resolution.

::If you want to write plot summaries, then you are welcome to, but they do require a lot more detail than the detail you had in your first attempt at writing an episode summary. Try going to edit [[The Secret's Afterimage]] and you will see that I have started a partial plot summary, which is currently being hidden as a comment. You can use that as a reference for how detailed the summary should be. Tip: Comments are surrounded by <nowiki></nowiki> in the editor. The text in a comment does not appear when published.Happy editing! --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:05, 8 May 2025 (UTC) P.S. On talk pages, to indicate a reply to a certain message, put a colon before your message to indent it. You can use multiple colons to indent it further (e.g., a reply of a reply needs two colons, a reply of a reply of a reply requires three colons, and so on). Note that this only works if you put the colon at the start of a line.

::My summary seems to be not the best one (i also checked whether the summary has grammar issue of not), though i'd try more on these but not many is having that much time for this nowaday, huh ?

::: Your summaries on the [[Season 30]] are '''''far''''' from being the worst, though honestly, more work needs to be done to improve the grammar on them. Even though something might not have a lot of people working on it, that doesn't mean '''you''' can't work on it. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:22, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

::: I just saw sth after coding for the next episode , Now i can create an episode seasonItem and put it in correctly, see : edit page since it is hidden (and may not be fully correct guess) --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 10:34, 19 May 2025 (UTC)

== Important advice ==

Hello Tuan, I will get straight to the point: your recent writings have gone below the standards for the wiki. I’m sorry to be abrupt about this, but in the best interest of the wiki, I would like to '''strongly advise''' that you should stop writing until you can improve your English. To reassure you, this is not a ban—you are not going to lose your account or anything, this is just user-to-user advice. More importantly, even though you have stated that you are only a “casual viewer,” that does not mean you are limited to writing. There’s much more on this wiki that you can do, and I’d like for us to start discussing what should be your next step for contributing to this wiki, besides writing. Regards. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 16:56, 23 May 2025 (UTC)

: Hello Avid, Sorry If It Was Slightly Late. Took A While To Actually Recieve This.
Not Just My English Tho, It Also My Narrating Stuff Isn't Seem To Be Good As Well. I Did Try With Adding A Box (You May Have Noticed When Editing Season 30 - Or Probably Deleted)... So Let's Get Back To The Contribution As No One Seem To Do Summary For The Recent 6 Seasons (Which Is Quite A Lot, I Even Rushed Sometimes Which Lead To '''Trys''' (the Right One Turn Out To Be '''Tries''' , Somehow I Got It With '''Tried'''). Ok So Narrating Isn't My Best, Still Should I Kept My Future Summary As Hidden So Someone Can Work On It Later ?

:: Well, since your summaries are basically finished (just a bit low on quality), I wouldn't recommend hiding them necessarily. But definitely, let's change to contributing something else. First and foremost, what would '''you''' like to do? --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 19:05, 24 May 2025 (UTC)

::I hid summary for the upcoming 1164 , 971-974, though. I'm currently wanting to fill the season 25-29 summaries for now tho. Structuring the box does take a bit too long for me tho (1164 - source), probably adding content for the next time when i arrives, i have something to read. --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 11:36, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

::So it seems you are still committed to writing summaries? Let's hold off from writing for season 25-29 and stick to writing for the latest episode (it will be easier to manage). If all else fails, we can try something else. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 21:07, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

:::Or probably which episode that i've recently watched, which might be easier to manage... well, not episode summary, sometimes, character appearance (Yuza Kazami , Too Long Ago). Surely we can try something else when it won't work but will s25 - s29 summary will be completed tho ? --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 13:09, 26 May 2025 (UTC) ,

::: To be honest, there's a lot more stuff on the wiki that is incomplete, and when you realize that, completing S25-S29 summaries won't be the main focus. The real main focus is to contribute in the best way possible, not to contribute to everything possible (the latter of which leads to lower quality edits). --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 17:32, 26 May 2025 (UTC).

::: Yeah , I Went Away Just To Have Rest Tho... S25-29 Isn't The Main Focus Tho... Summer Should Come And I SHould Have More Time For That , For Now , Wait For The Chess Tournament Murder case --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 05:58, 31 May 2025 (UTC)

::::Wait , Avid, Does Episode Title Need All Capitalization Like This Statement I'm Asking ? --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 03:56, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:::: To be honest, our wiki is really inconsistent with this, but I'd suggest using [[Wikipedia:title case|title case]] --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 03:59, 2 June 2025 (UTC)
:::: And also, congrats for finding something to contribute that actually suits your strengths! --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:00, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

::::Well since i have time in my summer vacation, so i'd have more time to focus on finishing those - and also season 29 if i watch conan tho

:::: À, và còn một điều nữa: các tựa tiếng Việt mà bạn thay thế có phải từ những nguồn chính thức không? (I used a machine translator for this, hehe) --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:05, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

POPS is the company that bought the copyright and publish Conan in Vietnam (Currently , it's from ep 1 to 920 int, coincide before the betryal's stage) , Some title are funny , some are a bit difficult to translate, even with machine , so i skip it (the 920 int is an example)

:::: Tôi cũng biết POPS là đơn vị nắm giữ bản quyền tại Việt Nam, chỉ xác nhận lại thôi. Còn về việc sử dụng ngôn ngữ nào để viết (tiếng Anh/tiếng Việt), hãy sử dụng ngôn ngữ mà bạn thấy thoải mái (khuyến khích sử dụng tiếng Anh). Nếu bạn chọn tiếng Việt, thì tôi chắc chắn 99% rằng chỉ có tôi mới hiểu được trong số những người đóng góp thường xuyên còn lại. '''English:''' I already know that POPS is the copyright holder for Vietnam, just confirming. And about using which language to communicate (English/Vietnamese), you should use the language you are comfortable with (English is recommended). If you choose Vietnamese, then I'm 99% sure that I will be the only one that can understand out of the rest of the regular contributors. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:18, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

:::: Thật sự ra thì POPS đã dịch tập 920 int một cách chính xác nhất có thể rồi... Còn về việc tôi để ý những edit của bạn thì đó đối với tôi là một chuyện bình thường khi có quá ít người đồng góp vào wiki này (so với những wiki khác) '''English:''' Actually, POPS has made the best translation possible for ep 920 int... And about my interest in your edits, I view that as something normal with the lacking amount of contributors on this wiki (compared with other wikis) --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:38, 2 June 2025 (UTC)

Your season summaries could use some cleanup...some sentences are too long and separated with many commas, which makes it hard to read, like this sentence which I am exaggerating, but I hope this serves as a clear example, and also, I would usually never write like this, but again, it's length is for the sake of example. As for the episode name translations, they were fine to start with, but I just wanted to make some tweaks here and there. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:37, 3 June 2025 (UTC) P.S. Yes, I am dropping the Vietnamese because it takes too long (hehe)...

You Know Why Summary Haven't Been Made Starting From The End Of 2019 (Around Episode 960) Until When I Joined In To Do The Summary Avico ? Or Is It Became So Much Tiring To Do That ? '''vietnamese''' : Ông có biết tại sao tóm tắt tập phim ko còn xuất hiện kể từ cuối năm 2019 cho đến khi tui tham gia và bắt đầu từ tập dư ảnh của bí ẩn ko Avico ? Hay do là làm tóm tắt tập phim có thể thực sự gây mệt mỏi rất nhiều ?--[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 04:33, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Xưng ho bằng "bạn" thời...chứ "ông" thì lại giảm thọ quả haha. Theo tôi được biết thì lượng người đồng góp đã giảm rất nhiều so với hồi trước, nhưng tôi thì cũng ko biết chính xác là lúc nào. Có lẽ thời gian đó rơi vào khoảng năm 2019 dựa vào lúc các tóm tắt tập trong mùa bị ngưng viết. Cũng ko phải là mệt nhọc gì đâu, chỉ là thiểu người làm thôi. '''English:''' Rather call me by "bạn"..."ông" makes me feel way too old haha. As far as I know, the number of contributors has decreased quite a lot compared to the past, though I don't know exactly when. It seems that the specific timeframe for that is indicated by when the contributors stopped writing summaries for the season's episodes. It isn't really tiring to write, there's just so few people to write it. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:49, 6 June 2025 (UTC)

Ah I Just Tried On The Ep 966-968 Just Now And End Up Somewhat Tiring When Trying To Make Them... Make Sense (Involved A Former Robbery, Stuff And What Just Happen) , Probably I Focused A Bit Too Hard hehe. maybe If I Do That Tho.. S25 might Get Completed Tho. '''Vietnamese''' Có Lẽ Xưng Hô vậy Cx Ko Quen Nhỉ , Chc Cứ Bình Thường Đi , Ko Giảm Thọ Nhau Nx. Nãy Mới Làm Quả Tập 966-968 Và Hơi Mệt Trong Việc Làm Nó... Hợp Lí (Vụ Cướp 10 Năm Trc Và Sự Việc Thực Sự Xảy Ra) , Nma Nếu Kiên Trì Thì Chc Cx Sẽ Có Thêm Tóm tắt Thôi

:Tui mới tạo ra khung nội dung mới ở dưới Để dễ tìm nếu đang cần nói về tóm tắt tập (nếu tui có viết gì đó sai, vd thì thay tính logic, tập gần đây tui thêm tóm tắt vào nó.. ngắn củn) '''English''' I just made a new chatbox under for anyone who want to discuss with me about episode summary (if it went wrong tho, the recent summary i made seems... shorter than my usual)

== RE: About contributor stuff ==

Xin lỗi nha! Hôm qua tôi lại rời xa máy tính và không thấy tin nhắn của bạn. Nói về tiến độ viết của bạn thì là rất tốt, còn về chuyện mà một số cải tóm tắt mà dài hơn hoặc ngắn hơn những tóm tắt khác thì cũng không sao. Bạn có thể dùng các tóm tắt của những mùa đầu tiên (được viết bởi những người đóng góp khá tốt) để làm thành tiêu chuẩn viết của bạn. '''English:''' Sorry! I was away from my computer yesterday and didn't see your message. Your writing progress is very good, and even though some of your summaries are shorter or longer than others, that's still acceptable. You can use summaries of the earlier seasons (written by some of our best contributors) to use as your writing standard. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 23:27, 16 June 2025 (UTC)

Ko sao! Mà tuần trước tui cũng rời xa máy tính gần 1 tuần vì việc riêng mà hehe. Sáng nãy tui mới để ý với phần chỉnh sửa của người khác về mùa 25 mới thấy có mấy lỗi mà gg doc cũng ko thể phát hiện được (nó giúp lỗi chính tả và thời gian sự kiện hơn), ôi trời! Mà có lẽ sẽ ổn với tóm tắt vì tui xài tới 2-3 kiểu viết khi viết tóm tắt riêng biệt nhau (câu hỏi cuối mục, nói diễn biến bình thường, có lẽ còn giới thiệu nhanh là chưa có hehe). '''English''' It's okay! Btw, last week i went off from the computer for precular circumstances for almost a week. Few hours ago (I should've sleep hehe) i notices the edit even the gg doc can't help fixxing it (It can only do the dictation and time of the event) made by another user, oh my! For summaries, probably ok to use 2-3 different writting on seperate episode (end question, normal telling, probably quick note isn't there hehe).

end question example : who could've done such a thing / will they stop the horrendous explosion from happening ?

== RE: A Suggestion ==

I know about writing my topics and statements with English language. I'm sorry I just wanted to make the proper words and statements without difficulties for the readers.
—-[[User:JayHas|JayHas]] ([[User talk:JayHas|talk]]) 10:41, 14 Dec 2025 (UTC)

:Unfortunately, your words are just not with you, as:
* Your edits are most of the time questionable, as some trim you made, '''make no sense'''. Take [[The Interrogation Room 3]] as an example, the animation has already mentioned that the one who killed the 45 yrs old man tried to escape in a motorcycle and hit the cafe maid in the process, so there is no reason to mark the culprit as '''unknown'''. Another example is [[It's a Ghost!]], the '''cause''' of injury is '''fell from high place''' while it would leave you an injury like: '''twisted ankle''' or '''broken arm''' - I take this from a wiki user who's been here longer than me (and has more experience)

* The statement "I know about writing my topics and statements with English language." from you feels off in a conversation because it shows that you are insecure instead (too harsh, i might think).

* If you don't understand what i mean in the second example, here's an easier thing: Between staff of death, or death's staff, what '''death''' would point '''a person''' (or a mystical creature, you get what i mean)?

== The edits ==
Hello Tuan this is AllB33 here to discuss the revisions that you did on the '''Pet Dog John Murder Case''' episode. While I understand that I am new to this wiki
and have a lot to understand the reason I join this wiki in the first place is to ensure that pages that have episodes from the anime from the past are given the attention (which was one of the reasons that I join the wiki) while I have left some of them incomplete, I was hoping that uses like yourself will help finishing it. I am sorry that if I offended you in any way do to the ''meaningless words'' that that I add to the page. If there is a place that I need to go before editing the pages then tell me.

=== Situation ===
The Detective Boys are commissioned by a classmate to find his missing cat, Akira. When they do finally find Akira, the cat has just emerged from a house's window, covered in blood. The Detective Boys immediately investigate, and see a bloody corpse face-down in the house's bathtub.

They call the police, and [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] arrives with a squad to investigate. The elder brother, a rough and rude man, lets them into the house but then goes into a room while they search. The soft-spoken younger brother arrives soon after, but is cooperative with the police. However, despite a thorough examination of the entire house, no corpse is found. Inspector Megure believes that the Detective Boys were playing a prank and the police leave, to Conan's frustration.

* After sunset, the curtains of the room with Kazoyoshi haven't been drawn, and he hasn't moved from the chair.

==== Resolution ====
With his [[Detective Boys Badge]] transmitting his deductions to the Detective Boys who are on the phone with [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], Conan explains that the corpse they saw in the bathtub was actually the body of Kazuyoshi, whom '''Tomofumi Tanaka''' murdered. Between when the kids saw the body and the police arrived, he cleaned the body and set it up in the room as if it were watching TV, then answered the door ''as'' his brother. After establishing the presence of Kazuyoshi, he went into the bedroom with corpse and climbed out into the nearby culvert using the tree, sneaking around to re-enter the house as himself. The TV that Kazuyoshi appeared to turn off at Tomofumi's request was set to turn off by timer, rather than remote, and Kazuyoshi's voice was simulated by Tomofumi's voice on the phone's answering machine, which Tomofumi dialed using the cell phone hidden in his pocket.

==== Motive ====
Kazuyoshi had been blackmailing Tomofumi to let him freeload there forever and be given more and more money whenever he wanted, or else he would reveal that Tomofumi had been illegally trading stocks. Tomofumi finally snapped at the frustration of being used by the elder brother he had once greatly admired, a writer who won the Literary Newcomer Award, and killed Kazuyoshi.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The manga version of the story takes place before [[Ayumi-chan Kidnapping Case]], and is the first story with the Detective Boys' badges. The story begins with Conan giving them to Mitsuhiko, Genta and Ayumi at school. Afterwards, they go into the P.A. Room to announce themselves to the school as the Detective Boys, only to be kicked out by a teacher, which then ends with them (except for Conan) imagining the fame that will come with their cases. The entire scene is absent from the anime.
* In the manga, after Conan knocks out Tomofumi with an iron kettle with the Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes, the kick causes him considerable pain in the foot and he jumps up screaming. Conan's pain is not depicted in the anime episode.

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are meeting Souhei Tatsumi, a well-known lawyer with many large corporations as clients, who's office is in a luxury hotel. While there, Conan picks up a phone call from Souhei's wife, Kazumi Tatsumi. During the phone call, a musical melody is heard from Kazumi's side. Souhei takes over the phone call and tells his wife he will call later and asks Conan and Ran to leave so he may talk with Kogoro. Kogoro returns telling Ran and Conan he took Souhei's request to spy on Kazumi and her affair. On the way home, they spot police cars in front of a house and decide to investigate. They found out it is Souhei Tatsumi's house. Inside they learn that Kazumi was found dead in the bathtub.

==== Evidence ====
* There is an paper staple
==== Conclusion ====
'''Souhei Tatsumi''' was the one who kill his wife
==== Motive ====
The officers plan to arrest Shunzou Hirose until Conan tranquilizes Kogoro. Impersonating Kogoro's voice with his voice changing bowtie, Conan reveals '''Souhei Tatsumi''' to be the culprit. He reveals that after Tatsumi was done talking with Kogoro, he murdered his wife who was in the guest room beside his room.

Afterwards he placed his wife in a bag and pushed her down a laundry chute to the bottom floor. He then went to the bottom floor, placed her body in the trunk of his car and drove her home where he then placed her body in the bathtub. As evidence, Conan gives Megure a tape of the alarm clock in Tatsumi's guest room to compare with the recorded phone call. The alarm clock in the guest room is revealed to have a missing note and matches with the musical melody in the phone call. Souhei confesses to the murder and reveals Kazumi was blackmailing him for money in order to keep his corrupt deeds as a lawyer hidden.</spoiler>
