== Case ==
=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Conan's class finds an oxhide wallet containing a message from Ran, who left it ten years ago. Conan shares the story of how it got there. Ten years ago, Shinichi and Ran enter the school at night to investigate the rumors of a ghost. They run into a mysterious man who claims to be Shinichi's younger brother and who challenges them to a treasure hunt; He then leaves them the wallet with a note containing the message "Quell the anger of Haido" in Japanese and a hint that he likes red things. "Quell the anger" is a pun of "drop the anchor" so the riddle refers to Haido Port. With Agasa, the pair finds another riddle hidden on a red fire hydrant which says "Clear the allegations against Toriya and demolish the liver of Goroukou" in Japanese. Conan reveals that clearing the allegation is to prove innocent, which is {{nihongo|"white"|白|shiro}} in police slang, which is a pun of {{nihongo|castle|城|shiro}}, so the hint means Toriya Castle. Goroukou is a reference to {{nihongo|[[Wikipedia: Mito Kōmon|Mito Kōmon]]|水戸黄門}}. Destroying the liver means destroying the middle, so removing the middle kanji of Mito Kōmon yields {{nihongo|3=suimon|2=水門|4=lit. flood gates}}. They find the next clue near a railroad crossing with red lights by the floodgates of Toriya Castle: "Erase the evidence of Okuho. With a raspy voice, endure loneliness."

==== Part 2 ====
"Erase the evidence" means a cancellation postal mark so they head to the Okuho post office but couldn't find anything. Shinichi then solves the rest of the riddle and heads to the school and finds the next riddle on a stop sign. The letter contains kanji, some of which are also mahjong jargon, and decodes to mean Beika City Hall. Once there, Shinichi finds the last riddle on a flag pole with the Japanese flag: "S → W". Shinichi presumes it means the sunset and assumes his father created the riddle for his entertainment, with the cooperation from the mysterious man. Shinichi and Ran waited for the mysterious man to show up but never met him again.

Back in present time, Kobayashi and the Detective Boys remarked that the last clue was really disappointing and seemed redundant: it was just a simple "S → W" message, and to point to the sunset, it sufficed to use "W" alone. Conan suddenly realized his deduction years ago was wrong.

=== People ===
{{People|Mysterious man|EP472-473 Mysterious Man.jpg|
* Mysterious man?
* "Shinichi Kudo's younger brother"}}
{{clearleft}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Back in the present time, Conan realizes what the riddle actually means. Conan writes down the symbols for port, castle, flood gate, post office, middle school, and town hall. It is revealed that even if "S → W" could mean South to West, when the symbols are turned 90 degrees, they mean 'ox hide' in English letters. Conan rips open the leather wallet which reveals a message for Yusaku Kudo from the original Phantom Thief Kid: a single question mark. "Younger brother" was in reference to Yusaku being the one who gave Kid his name. In the past, Yukiko Kudo has dinner with Toichi Kuroba and hands him a letter from Yusaku. It contains a single exclamation mark, revealing that Yusaku received Toichi's message and implying that he knows Kid's true identity.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Takeo Izumi'''. He killed his boss Ikuko when she first threatened to take him to court for a huge lost sum of money, then openly and cruelly told him that she had asked Izumi's much loved parents into selling their country land for his sake. So Izumi lost it and choked Ikuko with his own hands, and one of her contact lenses fell in his clothes.

The person who actually met up with the police, however, was Ikuko's daughter Chihiro, wearing similar bed clothes and a mask on. She did so after finding Ikuko's body, trying to avert being signaled as the culprit.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Beppu Chapter ====
A man named Hidetora Nakadai and his secretary Yozo Hozogai goes into Mouri Detective Agency, to save his daughter named Manami Nakadai, at first they threatened the Nakadai family that she was kidnapped. Also, without noticing [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].

[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan have been invited by [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] to the ''jigoku'' ("hell") hot springs near the city of Beppu in the Oita Prefecuture. However, during the train ride Conan notices that Kogoro is unusually serious, and he also spots [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] onboard, who desperately pleads with him not to reveal his presence.

While taking a tour at the springs, Conan notices a strange man wearing shades and carrying an ''oni'' mask strapped to his backpack. Right afterwards, he and Ran surprise Kogoro when he walks by holding the picture of a pretty young woman in his hands. As Kogoro reveals under pressure, he has travelled to Beppu on an assignment. The woman is Manami Nakadai, daughter of Hidetora Nakadai, the president of a prestigious electrics company. Manami has run away, leaving only a picture of her holding a ticket to the ''jigoku'' springs. The reason is that she recently became engaged with Kenichiro Ehara, a move which apparently drove her ex-boyfriend, Hiroyuki Hayami, a paper craftsman located in Beppu, into blackmailing her with pictures of their dissolved relationship.

While inspecting the picture, Conan notices a van with a special logo in its background, which leads them to an inn with an outdoor hot spring for bathing. However, while discussing the case during their bath, they unknowingly catch the attention of Manami, who is also staying at the inn. Shortly afterwards, Conan and Kogoro encounter Manami, but before they can react on their discovery, a scream from Manami sends them rushing to her room, where they see what appears to be a pair of glowing red eyes hovering before the window; just moments later, the eyes suddenly float away into the darkness. When Conan investigates the scene in the light of the next morning, he notices a peculiar set of cut marks on the tree in front of the window.

Manami declares her willingness to accompany Conan and the Mouris back to Tokyo the following day, whereupon Hidetora Nakadai declares that he will come to Beppu personally to fetch her. However, when left alone in her room while Conan and the Mouris receive Hidetora, Hozogai and Ehara, Manami is kidnapped from her room by an individual wearing a red ''oni'' mask. When the others come up to look after her, they find the room ransacked and some tire tracks near the inn's emergency exit. Right afterwards, the kidnapper calls President Nakadai and demands a ransom of 100 million yen for Manami's release, to be delivered by Ehara to the Takasakiyama Zoo. Conan, suspecting that there may be more to the case than meets the eye, marks the money bundles with a highlighter pen.

At the same time, in nearby Yufuin, Detective Takagi is ostensibly taking a vacation with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]], despite him having been assigned to handle an armed robbery case, with one of the perpetrators being the man with the ''oni'' mask Conan encountered in Beppu. Because Takagi is still holding his hopes high that his relationship should progress into marriage soon, he has taken a sick leave, actually an absence without justified leave, in order to spend some private time with her in Yufuin and capitalize on the emotion of the moment. However, a call from [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] not only reveals his duplicity to a furious Sato, it also points out that the car of the robbers was found at Oita Marine Palace Aquarium by the Prefecture police. Sato immediately takes up the case, towing a devastated Takagi along for some atonement, suspecting that the culrpit must be visiting the aquarium park, which incidentally lies right next to the Takasamiyama Zoo. While invesitating the zoo for clues, Takagi inadvertently crosses paths with Conan's entourage on their own stakeout of the ransom delivery.

Ehara is supposed to wait inside a visitor's cabin on the zoo grounds, but soon he comes running out with the ransom money bag in his hands, claiming that he can't handle the pressure. Then the kidnapper calls, leaving instructions to deposit the bag at the Monkey Rock, a local landmark. Expecting the kidnapper to arrive on foot, the group is taken by surprise when a remote-controlled drone arrives instead to snag the bag with a hook. Conan tries to stop it, only to be hoisted into the air along with the bag.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>It is revealed that the whole kidnapping was fake, it is because Manami was going to Oita in order to find her ex-boyfriend. It turns out that they send letter to each other, and the sculpture was made by Hiroyuki. The first culprit that was caught is '''Ryuji Ogikubo'''.

It turns that he was an accomplice, but he didn't kidnapped Manami, but in order to split the stolen money. In his deduction, there was one more accomplice, and it was '''Yozo Hozogai''', the second accomplice, his order was to get the stolen money, and '''the real culprit''' would have the half of it. It turns that the real culprit was '''Kenichiro Ehara'''. Ehara called the company and threatened him that his daughter is kidnapped. Ehara hid the money in the visitor's cabin and changed the money into books. The evidence is there are marks on his hand which is the highlighter that Conan draw, so that the culprit would have touched it and leave evidence. His motive is his company was going bankrupt. If he marry Manami, he could have all the money. The robbery before was staged by Ehara, but the door was locked so he didn't got the stolen money. Now, Ehara and Hosogai are arrested. Moreover, with the president's approval, Hiroyuki and Manami can return a couple.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Using a knocked out Kogoro, Conan declares the housekeeper, '''Shingo Aihara''' to be the culprit, and reveals that there is honey in the connecting part of the doorknob of Yamazaki's room. Then, if wasps attack inside, they would normally run out the door but there was a bunch of wasps on the honey-covered doorknob, so President Yamazaki ran in the opposite direction to the window, the rail on the veranda was quite corroded, it had been corroded in advance using sulfuric acid, and reveals he put wasps into the bag attached to the balloon and placed it in the chimney. They were probably gathered after spraying them with ether. To incriminate him, Conan concludes that he found a beekeeper outfit that smelled of ether in the shed, and also reveals that there were three helium tanks in the shed were used to test flights for the balloon with a bag attached in it. And reveals he murdered Yamazaki by:

* First, to temporarily keep the balloon inside the chimney, he tied fishing line to it led it to the downstairs kitchen through a small hole in the floor by the fireplace, and tied it to a nail.
* He also stuck fishing line to a piece of tape on the bag and led it to the kitchen.
* And reveals the call President Yamazaki recieved, was actually from Aihara to get her into the room.
* After confirming that she had picked up the receiver, he pulled a thread leading into the kitchen, the tape covering made a pre-made rip in the bag came off and sent wasps flying out.
* The balloon blocked the chimney's top, so the wasps flew into the room, the agitated wasps then attacked President Yamazaki. While spraying the insecticide, she headed for the door, but she was unable to open it because it was crawling with wasps.
* With no other choice, she ran around the room, broke the window and leapt onto the veranda. she leaned against the rail and aimed the spray at wasps, but the rail broke and she fell over.
* After they rushed outside, he quickly returned to the kitchen and undid the other thread, and so the balloon went flying out the chimney, and also reveals that his towel must've used in covering the doorknob in honey and there is the thread he used in his pocket.

Aihara confesses and reveals Yamazaki lied to him that she will make him as the manager of the spa resort, so he tried so hard to endure it and also he wanted to ruin the ground-breaking ceremony of the spa resort tomorrow.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
=== Evidence ===
* The spotlight that had been shining on Masao Takada had been specially made to follow the miniature microphone he was wearing at the time.
* The photo of the suspect (Shiro Hiraoka) that Conan had intentionally taken before the murder took place, was also found dead in an abandoned building.
* In the same abandoned building, Conan found the murder weapon hidden under a broken piece of concrete.
* The gun had been rigged with a motor and fishing line, so that with a push of a button the gun would fire automatically.
* The remote for the mechanism was found in Seiji Ishimoto's room in a closet hidden under some towels.
* Tsuneaki Niikura blurted out where the remote had been hidden even though no one else knew except Conan and Kenichi Shibata.
* Earlier before the murder took place, Niikura dropped the remote causing the battery to fall out he put the battery back in leaving behind his fingerprints.

=== Motive ===
Kogoro calls everyone to the murder scene where he declares the boyfriend Kenichi Shibata to be the killer. Conan stuns Kogoro to reveal '''Tsuneaki Niikura''' as the true killer who sent the threat letters to Seiji as a diversion. He set things up with his accomplice Shiro Hiraoka, who he murdered later after meeting him in a abandoned building.

He had tried to find the gun rigged with the motor but failed to do so, instead he tried to pin the murder on Seiji Ishimoto by hiding the remote in his room. He attached the gun with the motor on the spotlight, and at precisely the exact moment when his boss and Seiji Ishimoto crossed paths he pushed the button on the remote firing the gun. Afterwards, Shiro Hiraoka took the murder weapon and went to a abandoned building and waited for Niikura.

Niikura planned the murder to make it look like his boss had been caught in the crossfire and was accidentally killed. It is later revealed that Tsuneaki Niikura killed his boss to inherit his position as leader of parliament.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Even though Miwako Sato will not make her official introduction until [[The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case]], she made a non-speaking cameo in this episode.
* This is the first episode to have never been dubbed by Funimation Entertainment or in English.
* Shiro Hiraoka weapon Revolver in case is Smith & Wesson Model 29.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] tells [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] that the butter sandwiches he ate were past their expiration date. She thinks that he is cheating when she notices that his desk is tidy and that he is dressed up. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] tells her that it might be because [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]] is coming there as his client.

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

{{InfoBox Crime

| suspects = Wanya Heijima, Fuugo Baba, and Himi Baba
| description =
}}

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

==== Part 2 ====
Yoko also mention one odd thing that Hejima said about the number of pine trees being less. In the toilet, Kogoro prepares a coded message to ask for tissue paper and sends it to Conan, who along with Wakita see through the code immediately. From this coded message, Conan and Wakita also solve the case.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Himi Baba'''.

Conan explains how to decode Nukiyasu Baba’s playing cards message. If the card was a heart and was the number 1, it made a reference to the first letter of the english word for the card, "HEART", in this case "H". If using this decoding, the code finally It says "Help, I am in the attic. Himi is the culprit" Nukiyasu was responsible for his wife’s disappearance two years ago. Two years ago, Nukiyasu Baba had killed his wife Houka Baba by domestic violence. Himi killed him to take revenge for killing her friend. Nukiyasu’s coded message was understood by Fuggo, but he decided to play along to protect his wife and avenge her best friend’s death.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Amuro get a call from Kazami, who says that he is being trapped in a room, where there is a corpse lying on the bed. Amuro decides to help Kazami.

Later, the Detective Boys along with Kobayashi dan Wakasa are on the bus heading to Hatoyama Farm. They plan to get a new chicken for the school, replacing the old one that just died. On the bus, there are three other people who also heading for Hatoyama Farm. One of them is watching a video and Mitsuhiko tries to find out about the video. Suddenly, the man gets angry and grabs Mitsuhiko's hand, asking him to erase the video. Fortunately, Amuro is also on the bus, and successfully resolves the situation.

Arriving at Hatoyama Farm, they find out that there is no one in the office. There is no chicken left in the ranch, and there is a huge hole in the side of the ranch.

While some people go to the toilet, Ayumi sees a chicken wandering around. She plans to tell Conan, but he is talking to Amuro, so she decides to quietly chase the chicken. When everybody gathers again, they realize that Ayumi is missing. They later divides into two groups: Kobayashi with Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Amuro, while Wakasa go with Haibara and Genta. When the others start searching, Amuro finds a bishop shogi piece on the ground, which he feels he has seen it before.

Ayumi manages to catch the chicken, but then found herself in the woods. There are lots of burnt branches and a weird trail on ground, along with the tree being wrapped with something. Someone then approaches Ayumi.

Conan, Mitsuhiko, Amuro, and Kobayashi later meet Umisuke Hatoyama, the younger brother of Hatoyama Farm manager Gisuke Hatoyama. He admits that he saw Ayumi, but in fact she is being held hostage by Umisuke himself. He asks them to throw out their cellphone and follows his direction. Umisuke then locks them in the basement. They later finds Kazami and the corpse.

The dead man is Gisuke Hatoyama, and Conan deduces that he committed suicide. The evidence is there is no sign that he resisted when he got strangled, and his shoes are located near the desk. Kazami says that the chair was not knocked down, and there is a leather bootprints, which suggest that Umisuke, who is wearing leather boots, discovered Gisuke's body, and stood on the chair to bring the bosy down.

Using detective badge, Conan warns Haibara, Genta, and Wakasa about Umisuke, and asks them to call the police. Suddenly, Umisuke appears, along with two other people from the same bus. Umisuke tells the two people that his brother is in the hospital ,and that he got a message to go to a certain spot on the mountain. They also decide to find the other person.

After Umisuke and the other leave, Rumi plans to use her phone to call the police, when Genta notices that there is a hole in her butt pocket. Wakasa then realizes that there is something missing. Genta then mentions about Amuro picking something earlier. Later, Wakasa's phone slipped from her hands, and falls into a bucket of water.

Meanwhile, Amuro examines the shogi piece he found. When Kazami metions about Shukichi defended his title, Amuro realized that the shogi piece is the lost Kohji Haneda's shogi piece, and he wonders if the killer of Kohji is at the ranch.

Later, Haibara tries to open the door to the office, but it is locked. Wakasa then suddenly falls down, while also breaking the window. Ayumi then wakes up, and she tells Conan what she saw.

==== Part 2 ====
Conan deduces that the three men come to the farm to find a meteorite, while Amuro deduces their job based on their behavior. Meanwhile, Haibara, Genta, and Wakasa, using a handmade lamp, find some documents on the floor, and there is a broken yellow highlighter above of it. Someone has stepped on the highlighter, leaving some footprints nearby. They also find two rocks that perfectly fit each other. However, by using the compass, the rock is not a meteorite, but an ordinary rock that got colored.

When Genta finds some magnets on the desk, Kazami then deduces that Gisuke found the meteorite and had it appraised by an expert. however, the expert said that it was an ordinary rock. They got into argument and the expert decided to ignore him, unaware that they stepped on the highlighter. After realizing that he had been scammed, Gisuke killed himself.

Conan then deduces that the main goal of Umisuke is to get revenge on the person who drove Gisuke to suicide. When Ayumi says that the trees she saw was wrapped with something long and skinny, Conan and Amuro realizes that those are some explosives Umisuke had stolen, and he plans to lure the three suspects to the location so that he can kill them.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit who drove Gisuke to suicide is '''Takashi Nanbu'''.

Conan explains the truth of the case. He has Haibara prepare a pseudo backlight to tell apart the highlighter marks on the papers that were stepped upon. They reach the place where Umisuke had gathered the three suspects. Conan asks him to make them kneel and point the backlight at their boots, to tell apart those who had stepped on the highlighter in the room. At the same time he learns who the culprit is, Rumi manages to disarm Umisuke's mobile phone, which was to be used to set off the bombs by dunking it in a bucket of water she prepared beforehand.

[[File:Takashi Nanbu unmasked.jpg|thumb|right|x150px|Takashi Nanbu's real appearance.]]

Regardless, Umisuke identifies the person Takashi Nanbu who scammed his little brother and grabs him. The con artist, terrified, apologizes and offers to return the meteorite back to his brother. Enraged, Umisuke punches him and tells him to his shock that his brother committed suicide. Umisuke prepares to beat Nanbu to death, but one of the other meteorite hunters Shougo Kanou tries to calm him down. But Umisuke threatens him revealing that he was once a champion boxer. But Kanou effortlessly takes him down with a single blow and reveals himself to have been a former Professional kickboxer. He removes the Nanbu’s disguise and tells to him to confess to everything promising to be there with him every step of the way and he agrees.

==== Aftermath ====
The police arrive later and those trapped in the basement are rescued. After the case, a Detective Badge is flicked into the basement, causing Amuro to check the basement when the trap door is suddenly closed. A silhouette of Rumi is shown attacking Amuro inside the basement. Amuro who had been knocked out regains consciousness after the kids wake him up. Rumi apologizes and says she lost her grip and accidentally let go of the trap door. Amuro hearing that, is left wondering whether it was all an illusion or not. It is also shown that a outline of a shogi piece is on Rumi's back pocket which means it was indeed her who was inside the basement, retrieving her lost bishop shogi piece.</spoiler>

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Yumi overhears that a promotion for Takagi will send him to a case in a far away place where he shall remain there until the case is solved. Apparently the case involves a large number of people in a crime organization, where he is expected to be there for three years. Later the Detecitve Boys are walking home when they noticed a strange jogger. Takagi, Sato, and Chosuke are placed on the case of a murder.

Yui Shimura is one of the office workers. The Detective Boys come across them and identify the jogger as the suspect. When they arrive, Akiro Kato's alibi of video recordings proves he was there the whole time the murder took place, but the Detective Boys are certain he was the jogger. What's more, the alibi is confirmed by Detective Chiba, since it's his roommate.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan discovers that '''Akira Kato''' tricked Chiba's sense of time. He revealed that there was a re-airing of the news, and it was dubbed. He also revealed that Kato cut out parts and fast forwarded parts of the video to manipulate time. He also spun the time two hours behind, and slowly fixed it as the day dragged on.

==== Motive ====
Kato confesses that Nakamoto was responsible for Yui breaking up with him: during the time that he was working abroad, Nakamoto hid all of his letters
that he had sent her from Yui, which made her believed that Kato stop caring for her and broke up with him to be with Nakamoto. He went to talk to Nakamoto and he gave all of his letters back to him, while calling him a sucker. Realizing what he had done Kato had decided to kill him right then.

Afterwards, Takagi almost proposes to Sato but Megure reveals to him "Chosuke Takagi" is the one being sent to another prefecture for another case. They later take the Detective Boys to karaoke.</spoiler>

Because of Kogoro's love for horses, he takes Ran and Conan to an OK corral ranch in Kisarazu, a city from Chiba Prefecture. One of their prize winning horses gets spooked and they all go running after her. They reach the horse and Conan finds blood on her horseshoe. They then find the farrier, the one who shoes the horses, murdered.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>They find out that Sugiyama had been meeting with a businessman, Mochizuki, who wanted to buy the ranch. They planned to ruin breeding process so that there wouldn't be any more horses that would save the ranch. Conan deduces that it wasn't an accident and that someone gave the horse chocolate which is stimulant for horses. But it wasn't the cause for the death and was a cover-up for the real criminal. The criminal is '''Hirohito Ninomiya''' and Okusu was the one who's covering for him. The murder weapon was the horseshoe that, in his haste, he put on the horse incorrectly. Hirohito confesses and had killed the farrier accidentally in self-defense after confronting him about his business dealings.</spoiler>

Conan and the Detective Boys wake up at 5:30 am in the morning to go get in line for a roller coaster ride in Beika Land. There are only three other people on the train at that time, and they plan on going there in order to take pictures of the train. One of the photographers waits outside so he can take pictures of the train coming towards him. Suddenly, the ladder underneath him tips over and he falls onto the track.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Rumi Shimizu'''.

She tampered with the ladder Kawasaki was using to take the head on picture of the train to create an accident that would disguise her bludgeoning murder. The ladder was set up beforehand with a hook attached to piano wire spanning over the tracks. This was so that the ladder would tip when the train arrived and cause the accident. Because there had been another train on the tracks earlier at 5:40, the wire had to be set up after that. Additionally, it also meant that the killer knew that Kawasaki would be taking photos there at that time. When the accident occurred and everyone else was distracted, she took the opportunity to kill Horii by bashing his head with the trunk the group was carrying. When the brake was applied, the Horii's body slid forward, hitting his head on the corner. The proof is the injuries to her wrist and palm. She likely received those injuries when she picked up the camera case, so her blood should still be on it.

She and Masao Horii were engaged and promised to marry each other, even discussing their wedding. When Horii said he was going to continue his university studies in Germany, she wanted to go with him, but he dumped her, saying his parents have already proposed an arranged marriage for him over there.</spoiler>

==== Part 1 ====
When a famous samurai movie star, Kozaburo Hijikata, hires Kogoro for some consultations, the group is led to believe that he wants to learn about detective work for an upcoming TV series where he is to star as a detective. However, rumors of an affair between his beautiful and much younger wife Isami Nagakura and stunt actor Hajime Okita can't help but lead Conan to doubt the reason. When Isami is found dead on Okita's balcony, the group believes it is an open and shut case, but Conan doubts the authenticity when he sees a big smile form on Hijikata's face. Which side is truly right?

==== Part 2 ====
Kogoro tells the media all of the current suspicions so Inspector Megure and Detective Takagi can sneak Hijikata and Okita out the backdoor for questioning, but before doing so Conan goes up to the sixth floor to try and find some evidence that his suspicion of Hijikata being the killer is accurate. In the end one truth as always will prevail, but which side is truly innocent here?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Kozaburo Hijikata'''. Hijikata not only killed Isami since she cheated on him, but because of her life insurance which he needed to cash in on due to his upcoming bankruptcy. As such, he purchased three apartments with exactly the same furnishing, but in different floors of the same building; via tampering a little with the elevator numbers, he managed to trick Conan, Kogoro, and Ran. They ended up going to the sixth floor instead of the fifth, Hijikata had tampered with elevator by blacking out the bottom left line of the number display, with this he successfully turned the number six into number five.

And for the second floor number he kept their attention away by standing in front of the digital display, and handing out his business cards by forcing their heads down. Said apartment was right next to the one where Hijikata strangled Isami and left her body to be found by having her body hung with thread which he rigged to snap and caused her body to fall at the right time. With some rope he lowered Isami's lifeless body in the balcony below where her body was actually found. Which explains why Isami's body was found outside the balcony rather than halfway out the door like everyone had witnessed earlier.

In reality the room where Isami had supposedly been murdered was actually empty all along as the room belonged to Hijikata, so it was simple for him to have set up this trick. He also switched the room number tags to give the illusion that they were on the fifth floor but they were actually on the sixth. After lowering Isami’s body he switched the room tags back and waited outside the real room on the fifth floor. He also told Kogoro and the others to take the stairs because they were faster, but in reality it was because the altered elevator display hadn't been cleaned yet and he did not want them to find out about it.

* '''Evidence'''
The proof that Conan needed was a prop pistol that Kogoro accidentally broke in one of the apartments, and which he hid under a couch pillow; the model gun was found in the couch in the room on the sixth floor, proving that Kogoro and the others were taken to the sixth floor not the fifth. When the fingerprints are lifted off the model gun it will prove that Kogoro and the others had been on the sixth floor, as Hijikata wiped all their fingerprints from everything except the model gun. Faced with this evidence he admits his guilt stating he did this because Isami had been cheating on him and he needed her insurance money. In the end Hijikata is confident stating that the court will not charge him because he is a celebrity but Megure states he believes otherwise.</spoiler>

* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Kozaburo Hijikata - Johnny Hijikata
:* Hajime Okita - Harrison Blackwell
:* Isami Nagakura - Isabel Nottingham

== Trivia ==
* Each of the characters introduced in this case (Hijikata, Okita, and Isami) are named after historical figures of the [[Wikipedia: Shinsengumi|Shinsengumi]]: [[Wikipedia: Hijikata Toshizō|Hijikata Toshizō]], [[Wikipedia: Okita Sōji|Okita Sōji]], and [[Wikipedia: Kondō Isami|Kondō Isami]] respectively.

=== Situation ===
Yoko takes the Detective Boys and Professor Agasa to a TV studio for a tour, though they're a bit disappointed when they can't go to the Kamen Yaiba studio. When they run into Satan Onizuka, the vocalist for a visual kei rock band who's there for a TV show, they're scared at first and pass him up. However, they decide to search for his room to get his autograph anyway since Mitsuhiko recalls that his older sister Asami is a huge fangirl of Satan's band.

In his room, Satan speaks to his manager and asks him for some food from three specific restaurants and a mirror to replace the broken one in the room itself. They also talk about a huge fight between Satan and the president of his production company, Tenji Urushihara, and Satan says he'll need the mirror soon to take off his make up, since he needs to catch a nap due to his lack of sleep after the scuffle.

In the meantime, the children and Professor Agasa look for Satan's dressing room. A little later, a Satan ''without'' make-up and with a raincoat over his clothes meets with Urushihara and, after a chat, stabs him to death with a knife.

Few later, the Detective Boys find Satan Onizuka's room and meet Satan who is somehow back in full make up, who forgives them for the impasse and gives them an autograph. Ayumi notes some origami birds on Satan's table and is delighted, with Satan even teasing the kids a little about it. Soon after, however, Urushihara's corpse is found by an employee and the police arrive at the station.

The police suspect the murderer to be Satan, due to his recent fight with the victim. Satan retorts that, with his make up and costume, it would have been impossible to leave his room without being noticed. Since there is still no mirror in Satan's dressing room, it would be impossible to put on his make up and they cannot charge him with the murder. Conan still suspects Satan as the murderer, and he decides to find out how did he pull such a difficult trick.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The investigation leads Conan to confirm the suspicion that '''Satan Onizuka''' is the culprit, and that he covered the lack of a mirror in his dressing room via a make-shift mirror made with a transparent ruler and a black sheet of origami paper.

To prove this, Conan reveals through Professor Agasa that the origami cranes, which he supposedly made to ease his boredom, were used to camouflage the origami paper, plus he used the ruler both for the origami and for the "mirror", but the evidence suggested it was not made on that day. Additionally, the clean-faced Satan was easily able to disguise himself as a delivery boy, using a DB outfit that he brought and kept in a bag for comic sketches that he was supposed to do in the show: he also put on the raincoat right before killing Urushihara. Few people lifted an eyebrow at the sight of a man in restaurant delivery clothes in the studio. That's why he asked for food from three different places, so his manager would mention it and then inadvertedly trick people for his sake.

Satan more or less admits that he's the killer and explains his motive. He reveals that three years ago he was in a very low point of both his life and career, having almost lost his voice due to a throat injury ''and'' needing to spend months in an hospital for treatment. A teenage fangirl of his comforted him through letters and gifts that always included tiny origami cranes, but at some point the letters from the girl stopped coming, and initially he didn't really think much of it since he believed she had changed interests. Satan reveals that he found out the exact reason why she stopped writing just one month ago, during a bar meeting with Urushihara: behind his back, his boss impersonated him and posted some creepy messages on the band's official website, asking his fans for a "blood sacrifice" as a publicity stunt. Urushihara added that the young fangirl's last letter, implied to not have been given to Satan himself, included a message about "giving you [Satan Onizuka] my blood", meaning that the girl had killed herself in what she thought was a sacrifice in the name of her beloved Satan Onizuka. After this meeting with Urushihara, Satan located the girl's family and spoke to her grieving mother, who confirmed that the girl had commited suicide three years ago, apparently for no reason.

The cruel discovery of the girl's death sent Satan into both an horrible depression and a massive creative slump, since even when he told jokes about death, murder and the Devil in his public persona, he would've never ''actually'' told his fans to harm themselves or commit suicide. He concludes by saying that, in the present, he wanted to retire due to his fame waning and his inspiration leaving him, so he and his band agreed to perform in one last farewell concert, but Urushihara cruelly cancelled it and threatened Satan himself with a huge lawsuit if he insisted on retirement. Then Satan officially confesses to the crime and refers to Urushihara as the real Devil.

As one last confession, when Satan Onizuka begins to cry over having let his suicidal fangirl down and not being able to create music anymore, the tears coming from his right eye are lightly tainted with blood. Conan and Ai say that this is because Satan uses contact lenses, and when he killed Urushihara, he was unknowingly stained with the victim's blood beneath one of his eyes. Conan says that Satan did not realize this until it was too late as he had already applied his make up.

Satan surrenders himself to the police quietly, and Ai and Conan comment on how when the Devil sheds tears, he loses his powers.

In the epilogue, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are shown watching Yoko Okino and the other celebrities taking part in a game show on their television. Yoko rings the buzzer seemingly knowing the answer to the question, however her seat suddenly moves down and she loses. It is revealed that she had accidentally said Kogoro Mouri, when the correct answer was Kogoro Akechi, leaving Conan and the others dumbfounded.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The anime version starts at night with Satan Onizuka in his beautiful penthouse, being told by Urushihara through the phone that his performance is canceled. Satan tries to object but it told that if he insists, he'll be sued. When Urushihara hangs up, an extremely angry Onizuka unsheaths a knife (the one used in the murder itself) and then throws it to the nearest wall.
* The manga version has Satan Onizuka's real face shown during his last talk with Urushihara. The anime, on the other hand, goes through quite the lengths to not show it clearly until the very end of the episode: first, it chooses to show his eyes and back in the above mentioned opening scene, and then focuses on his torso and hands during the pre-murder talk. And when there's a close-up to Satan's face right before he kills Urushihara, only his eyes are clearly seen.
* The manga version of the story takes place within the [[Clash of Red and Black]] storyline (between ''Hades'' and ''Coma'') and has a scene with Conan and Haibara debating on the relation between [[Hidemi Hondou|Hidemi]] and [[Eisuke Hondou]]. The anime version, taking place ''before'' the storyline, replaces the scene with the Detective Boys introducing themselves to Waka Inoue and Azusa Yamamoto and interacting with them and Yoko.
* The anime includes an additional scene that has Kogoro, Ran, and Conan watching the TV show recorded by Yoko, Waka and Azusa. Hilariously, Yoko loses the game show when she incorrectly answers the last question about Ranpo Edogawa and the answer she gave which was Kogoro Mouri mistaking his name for detective Kogoro Akechi.

== Trivia ==
* The character Satan Onizuka and his stage persona is very similar to that of real life musician [[Wikipedia: Demon Kakka|Demon Kogure]], vocalist of the heavy metal band [[Wikipedia: Seikima-II|Seikima-II]].
* Satan Onizuka was voiced by the late actor, comedian and singer Yasuo Saitou, better known by his stage name [[Wikipedia: Yakkun Sakurazuka|Yakkun Sakurazuka]]. He, along with [[Wikipedia:Waka Inoue|Waka Inoue]] and [[Wikipedia:Azusa Yamamoto|Azusa Yamamoto]] (both appeared as themselves in the episode), were involved in [[Movie 11]] promotion as "Conan Cheering Squad".
* There is an animation error roughly 17-18 minutes in, where when Inamori is just starting to reach into the bag for the mirror, Satan Onizuka's body has a space between him and the frame, thus showing the background between his waist and the bottom edge.
* This case had a unique opening, which is the same song as the last case, however all of the opening animation for this case dealt exclusively with Professor Agasa, Haibara, Detective Boys, Conan, and those they will probably encounter in this case only. Like the opening animation for the song, the closing song animation is unique to this one case, with the same closing song as in the last case.
* The three different things Satan ordered for delivery are ramen from Tenpuku-tei, fried rice from Jan Jan Ken, and some gyoza from Eirinan, which appear to be three different fictional Chinese restaurants.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
The Detective Boys are at a small ski resort. Conan had told Haibara and the professor about the case, Touji who witness Kir's accident and that Vermouth learn about it. It turns out that the man, who was hired by the murderer for the strange garbage job was a big fan of Mizunashi Rena and ran a homepage about her. On it he had written about meeting Touji who talked about the accident after seeing the man's stadium jumper with Kir's picture on it. Both Vermouth and Eisuke Hondou have read the web journal and seek out to meet the boy and question him about the accident. So now both Hondou and the organization knows that Kir has been injured and is probably in a hospital. The detective boys meet up with four university students who are building a snowman for an art project. Later that evening, Sakuko Kokura, one of the university students, becomes lost in the blizzard and the two groups begin their search for her. Conan finds Kokura dead at the bottom of a cliff in a lake.

The police declare that Kokura's death was a snowboarding accident. However, Conan notices that the body is missing a hat, goggles, and gloves and believes that she was murdered and that one of the university students is the culprit.

==== Part 2 ====
Genta trips and falls into the snow and comments how it was hard and salty. Conan realizes how the murder was done and gathers the suspects along with Inspector Misao Yamamura.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan tranquilizes Yamamura and impersonates him using his voice changing bow tie to reveal that the murderer is the university student '''Kazuya Itabashi'''. Conan reveals that during the snow storm, Kazuya used salt to harden the snowman he was working on. He then called Sakuko to his room where he Shoved to drown her in his sink which contained the water from the lake. Afterwords, he attached Sakuko's snow shoes on and placed her in the body of the hardened snowman and rolled her into the lake. He then used the Detective Boy's snowman to rebuild a new body for the snowman. As evidence, Conan reveals that the Detective Boy's snowman had their detective badges, which are now found in Kazuya's snowman. He also declares that the forensic team should find traces of lake water or Sakuko's DNA in Kazuya's sink. Kazuya confesses to the crime revealing that Sakuko purposely disabled Asaka Onoe, one of the other university students, out of envy; this sparked Kazuya's murder in the name of vengeance.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
Takagi and Miyamoto pose as a bride and groom in order to catch a serial killer/burglar who had threatened to kill the real bride and groom. When Chiba reports that the burned corpse of one of the weddings guests is found near the river, Megure deduces that the victim was killed by the serial killer in order to obtain the wedding invitation. A mysterious video arrives at the wedding party from a friend of the groom. After watching the video, Megure suspects that the killer is already in the chapel and Conan suggests that the bride should meet with the guests in order to find the burglar who broke into her house. The bride reports that there are three suspicious guests: a photographer named Rinzo Gunji, a snowboarding instructor named Teigo Shimabukuro, and an internet administrator named Fukuharu Karube. The groom insists that the wedding continues, despite Megure's protests.

Megure also reveals that the groom, '''Masateru Taira''', was the burglar's accomplice and in the end killed the burglar so he could marry Rei solely for money and then kill her.

When Taira attempts to escape, he grabs the knife from Chiba and stabs "Yumi" who is actually Sato because they had traded places earlier since Sato had already realised Taira's true intentions and wanted to keep Yumi away from danger. Sato turns out to be fine because the wedding corset blocked the knife from penetrating, and she chases after Taira, but cannot go as fast as usual because of the dress's length.

Outside, Takagi hears what's happening to Sato over the phone, so he rushes to the front of the church. Conan tries to take Taira but he doesn't have his super sneakers on, so he helps Ran take him down the moment he steps outside. Finally catching up, Sato mistakes Takagi for Taira, and she throws him down and pins him. Gunji captures this moment on film.

In the end, Gunji used Sato and Takagi's photo for a wedding billboard which embarrasses both Takagi and Sato. The wedding billboard also makes Shiratori jealous and causes Chiba to caution Shiratori that tearing it down would be vandalism.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>After solving clues Takagi leaves suddenly and Conan reveals who the kidnapper is. Just then, Kouta returns home unharmed, making them believe the culprit ('''Takuji Rokuda''') will try to make a run for it. After arriving to Rokuda's house it is revealed that a winning lottery ticket was returned to the culprit in his mailbox, making him realise his friends had no intention of stealing money from him. The guilt Rokuda feels upon this realisation is so crushing that he decides it's best for him to kill himself.

Takagi arrives when Rokuda has already slashed his wrists and placed his arms in his full bath tub, and manages to stop him. When Sato and Conan arrive, they see Takagi sitting on the ground and covered in both water and blood; they believe he's been injured, but Megure arrives and proudly tells them what he did, adding that Rokuda will live and likely will receive a light sentence since he didn't harm Kouta. Sato is still angry and sad at Takagi, and yells at him for the danger he could have been in.

In the end, when Takagi and Sato are talking about their rekindled relationship, they almost kiss. Bad thing, they're in the car; Mouri interrupts because he, Ran and Conan are in the backseat, and since Takagi is driving they could crash in their way to the police station.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Kazunobu Chiba and Masashi Emoto have been friends since middle school.

The investigation reveals that the victim had been approaching the employees one by one and saying 'If you remember the 20 million yens, come to my room. Or else I will reveal everything.'

The picture reveals that a woman with a beauty mark near her breast is the murderer. The police gather three female employees with no alibi during the time of the murder; Each of them has a beauty mark but none of them are near the breast. But as they take a closer look at the phone they discover that Kamoshita made a phone call shortly before the murder, around 11:48 PM. They call the number and get a hold of a chief editor Izumiya from 'Weekly Hot'. He explains that Kamoshita had been on the trail of a hot scoop and that the person he was going to interview was taking a shower before the interview.

| description = A woman claiming to be Kazuki's mother claims that his father is a wanted murderer that is still on the run. She demanded 20 million yen from the production company, where Kazuki is working, for her silence. Due to that she could give accurate details on Kazuki, the company decided to pay the money.

The woman with the hot scoop was Atsuko, Kazuki's mother. Kamoshita had gotten wind of that she had contacted Kazuki's production company and blackmailed them for ¥20 million if they didn't want it public that his father was a wanted murderer who is still on the lose. The company paid the money after the woman proved her identity by showing knowledge of Kazuki's birthmark and the name of the church where he was brought up. But no one known the woman's face or her voice, since the communication had been through e-mails. Kamoshita decided to track the woman down and get the whole story from her. He was planning on taking a picture of her with his phone.

Conan realized that the reason that the victim kept mentioning 20 million yen to the inn's employers was to scare one of them and find the blackmailer.

==== Part 2 ====
The forensic team reveals that Kamoshita was knocked on the head with a shower nozzle knocking him unconscious and was later strangled. While the police are watching a videotape found in Kamoshita's room, Conan notices that the movie ended one minute earlier than the time indicated on the box and realizes how the murder is done.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and uses his voice changing bowtie to impersonate him. The murder weapon used to strangle Kamoshita is in fact the video tape, evidenced by that the movie started earlier by one minute missing the company logo and prologue. The culprit first entered the bath room, lured Kamoshita inside then beat him with the shower head. After killing him, she threw his body into the bathtub to conceal the fact that the tape was used as a murder weapon. Conan reveals that the beauty mark on the murderer was actually a blood stain and that the culprit is revealed to be '''Toshiko Bessho''' as evidenced by the small blood stain near her collar which she covers with her clothes. Toshiko confesses to the murder and explains that she decided to play a joke on Kazuki's production company by threatening to reveal Kazuki's father is a murderer unless they pay her ¥20 million. Her only goal was to make them stop giving postcards to Kazuki from his mother. However, they actually paid her which sparked Kamoshita's investigation. Kamoshita upon finding the truth, blackmails Toshiko for money which motivated her for murder.

Toshiko had also lied about being Kazuki's mother, but this is because she cannot have children and has a deep envy of one of her fellow hosts who had a child but gave him away, the real mother of Kazuki, who also had told the details of him which Toshiko used in the blackmail. Said woman turns out to be '''Tomoka Saegusa'''. Conan later confirms to Ran that Tomoka is the mother because she used to carry Kazuki on her back with a sling while doing household chores, until she gave him up; this is why Kazuki, who had very good memory for a little kid yet couldn't recall all details, mistakenly recalled his mom's mole to be on her breast instead of on the back of her neck, where it actually is. He suggest at Kazuki might have mixed his memories from his time at the church.

The following day, Kazuki gives Tomoka a package of post cards and tells her she has to continue to send her monthly post cards or he will visit her again. As Kazuki leaves, Tomoka breaks down in guilt for abandoning her son those many years ago.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
* The anime added an extra scene that Kazuki bumped into Saegusa which she helped him and Kazuki noticed a mole on the back of her neck.
* The female criminal's entire figure is obscured unlike in manga which the female criminal's figure is naked and only her face is obscured.
* In the anime, Conan simply hides under Kogoro's outer shirt while in the manga he hides in Kogoro's yukata.

== Trivia ==
* The spa in the two inns posters is that from [[The 14th Round of the Matsue Tamatsukuri Linked Verse Contest#Trivia|The 14th Round of the Matsue Tamatsukuri Linked Verse Contest]]. Open spoiler box to see images.

=== Situation ===
==== Conan in a Locked Room ====
After the Bell Tree Express incident, Sonoko invites Ran, Kogoro, and Conan to a campsite where she is learning tennis, because she got a text from Makoto holding a tennis racket. Conan, glad to be leaving the Mouri Detective Agency after learning Amuro is Bourbon, finds out he is Sonoko's tennis teacher. Amuro tries to warn Conan that a racket is about to hit him, but it hits his head and knocks him unconscious. Amuro applies immediate first aid, and Conan recuperates at the cabin of Machi Umejima and her friend Kotone Momozono, the girl whose racket went flying and hit Conan. As Machi and Kotone treats Conan's party, there is an obvious animosity between Noboru Takanashi and Saburou Ishiguri, two other friends and classmates. It stems from the untimely death of their friend Uriu. When Conan wakes up, he finds the room overwhelmingly hot and Saburou dead from blunt force trauma to the head.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
As Conan was about to tranquilize Kogoro, Amuro looked through his lens and asked what was he doing. Conan, not wanting Bourbon to realize who he really is, instead manipulated everyone's attention to the culprit: '''Kotone Momozono'''. Kotone hid a spare key to the room, which was used in the locked room murder in a bottle of a frozen sports drink, had it thaw a bit, then used it to commit the murder. She used the still melting Dry ice of the ice cream cake with the tennis racket to move his body in front of the door.

Although, the episode did not state this she also probably turned off the AC in the room, since it apparently was on when Conan went to sleep in there and was off, when he woke up several hours later, by the sound of the falling vase. Also turning off the AC would cause the dry ice and the ice in the vase to melt even quicker, than it would have if the AC was still on.

She did it because Uriu, who was an easily emotional guy, would've been afraid to go jump in the snow from the balcony. But Saburou made a joke that the snow would cushion his fall which Uriu took seriously, and he ended up dying as a result. At first, Kotone thought Saburou's frantic digging in the snow was from disbelief that a friend had died. But he was retrieving the scarf that he himself worn, as it was evidence that he forced Uriu to jump off the balcony because at his last moment he grabbed Saburou’s scarf and didn't simply jump.

Later that night, Bourbon gives Vermouth a call, saying the case was solved but will stay around little longer. When she asks him why, he says the Sleeping Kogoro has caught his interest, while thinking of Conan, hinting he knows Conan is behind the Sleeping Kogoro persona.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* The tennis court in this case is the same tennis court that appears in [[The Suspicious Spicy Curry]].
* The suspects have names related to fruits and tennis:
:* Kotone Momozono (桃園琴音) is related to peaches (桃) and court (コート, ''kōto'').
:* Machi Umejima (梅島真知) is related to plums (梅) and match (マッチ, ''macchi'').
:* Noboru Takanashi (高梨昇) is related to pears (梨) and ball (ボール, ''bōru'').
:* Saburo Ishiguri (石栗三朗) is related to chestnuts (栗) and serve (サーブ, ''sābu'').
:* Uriu (瓜生) is related to melons (瓜).

=== Situation ===
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] went to Ohama Coast from Beika Street for two hours and they are going to have fun surfing at the beach. First of all, the reason why Kogoro wants to go surfing is because of the woman named Nagisa Imaoka. She invited Kogoro. While at the beach, Nagisa is pretty good at surfing.

After surfing, they went back to the Surf Shop Seagull to take a break and the man named Kaishiro Imaoka recognized the famous detective, Kogoro Mouri. Kogoro still wants to continue surfing. Conan found the moon phase calendar on the wall and tonight is going to be a spring tide. The place, Ohama Coast, is famous for the large high tides and low tides. Kogoro thought Nagisa is Kaishiro's daughter but it's actually his wife. When Nagisa, Ran, and Conan are about to go back surfing, Kaishiro tells them to stop because he heard the forecast in the car that the storm is coming. When they looked through the window, they still see the waves that it is still normal size. Ran heard that it will be fun if there are few waves. Kaishiro thinks they are people like that but he's against it. He mentions that they are bunch of people who lost their lives to tall waves. They should never underestimate the ocean. Nagisa argues with Kaishiro that if he keeps saying such childish things, people will never enjoy surfing. Then, Kaishiro argues back to Nagisa to stop being so ignorant. After the argument, Kaishiro left, and Nagisa thinks Kaishiro is just an old geezer who likes to play with plastic models. Nagisa isn't afraid of the tall waves and she still has the guts to go surfing. Since they can't go surfing, they'll have to wait till tomorrow morning.

Later, the storm has arrived and in the lodge, Conan is stepping on Kogoro's back for massage. While massaging, Ran mentions that Nagisa used to be the surf shop's customer. According to the landlord, she would come challenge the waves frequently. Then three years ago, she got conquered by the waves instead. Suddenly, Kaishiro entered the lodge and told Kogoro that Nagisa is missing. She must've gone surfing during the storm. Conan sees Kaishiro's cell phone in his shirt pocket that it's flashing. Kaishiro checks it out and he got a text from Nagisa. It says, "Sorry for not getting permission. At a karaoke bar. Don't worry." They felt relieved that she didn't go surfing during the storm.

The next morning, the storm is over and it's a beautiful day. Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are just taking a walk on the beach. While walking, they found Nagisa and she is found dead.

Kogoro tells Ran to call the police and tells Conan to get Kaishiro. He also tells Conan to bring cardboard boxes or something to prevent more footprints just in case. They were no footprints around Nagisa's body until Kogoro, Ran, and Conan came near the body.

When the police arrived to investigate, Kaishiro is crying over Nagisa's death. While Kaishiro's crying, Conan notice that there's sand on Kaishiro's back shirt. The police recognize Kogoro and they might get an autograph from him later.

While checking the dead body inside the shop, Kogoro deduces that it is an unfortunate accident. Nagisa couldn't sit still after seeing the huge waves. That's when she texted a lie about going to a karaoke bar to Kaishiro. She wore the shop's wetsuit, grabbed the shop's surfboard, and left through the backdoor towards the ocean. Conan asks that why didn't Nagisa not wear her own wetsuit. Kaishiro answers that's probably because she thought he would notice it missing. She knew if Kaishiro finds out, he would stop her. While Nagisa was enjoying surfing, a tall wave engulfed her. Then, the leash cord wrapped around her neck. Furthermore, the waves pulled on the cord, eventually strangling her. Conan mentions that the strangle mark goes into the wetsuit. Kogoro thinks the cord going inside the wetsuit is a possibility. Conan then said the wetsuit is on tightly stuck to the body, preventing any water inside. Kogoro then tells Conan to go away to continue his own deduction. Kogoro deduces that the surfboard went missing, and Nagisa came back to Kaishiro's coast for him. Conan notices something strange about Nagisa's toenail. When Ran and the detective take a look at Nagisa's toenail, her right toenails are painted with yellow nail polish but her left toenails are unfinished. Conan just remembered something. While he was calling Kaishiro that he found Nagisa's dead body at the beach and getting a cardboard, he found the bag with yellow marks. When he goes back checking it, he has no doubt about it. When he went back to the beach, he ask the policeman about the footprints in the range of 100 km from the corpse. The policeman confirms there weren't any footprints and it was a smooth beach. Conan is still thinking how did Nagisa's dead body get to the beach with no footprints until sudden, he found the dead crab. It was smashed down by something. Conan remembered that there is a crane truck model that's displayed in the shop. When he went back inside the shop, Conan found the cardboard that has a crab mark on it and he finally solved the case.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Nagisa is first shown to be '''35''' years old, and not 25. Through Kogoro, Conan then reveals that this is a murder case disguised as an accident; the culprit is '''Kaishiro Imaoka'''. The proof is Nagisa's half-finished pedicure, indicating she hadn't planned to surf, and the strangle mark under her wetsuit: she wore the suit ''after'' her death. Kaishiro protests that a corpse lacks the strength to wear a wetsuit (due to the suit's tightness), and Kogoro (Conan's voice) has the police demonstrate the trick with plastic bags on a volunteer's feet. He explains that the bags reduce friction, making it easy to slip on a wetsuit. Ran then brings forth a box containing two similar bags with stains matching Nagisa's pedicure. Conan goes on to explain that after killing his wife, Kaishiro buried her in the sand, later bringing her to the edge of the waves with cardboard 'treads': cardboard stuck together at the ends he used much like a hamster's wheel, allowing him to leave no tracks as he carried Nagisa's corpse. Caught, Kaishiro confesses to the crime, revealing that after Kogoro's group had left, Nagisa had announced that she was meeting someone: "If it goes well, I'm sending you the divorce papers(...)in the end, the world is ruled by looks and money. Give it up." She had married Kaishiro for the money.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Outbreak ====
Sera asks Ran if she can come over to talk to Conan. Once there, she learns Conan is at Agasa's with the Detective Boys and the fact Conan is with Kogoro on every case. They are soon interrupted when a gunman strapped with bombs and three hostages are brought into the agency.

}}

The gunman, Isao Sawaguri, demands Kogoro to determine which of his three hostages killed his younger sister.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Suicide? (Past)

| suspects = Tamami Mitsui, Shinobu Yuchi, and Sumika Nihei
| description = According to newspaper reports, novelist Miku Sawaguri committed suicide at the Furitsukaya Ryokan a month previous to Isao's threat on the Mouri Detective Agency. Despite the reports, Isao is convinced that his younger sister's novelist friends are responsible for killing Miku.
}}

Conan calls Ran to ask who she was spotted walking with. Sera answers and pretends to end the call, allowing Conan to eavesdrop on the situation. Conan learns the case of Sawaguri's sister, Miku Sawaguri, was concluded to be suicide when she was found with her wrist slit and her ryokan room locked. Agasa and the Detective Boys leave to interview the local neighborhood association who were at the ryokan during Miku's death. Conan gradually learns more about the case from information spoken by Sawaguri, the media, and the Detective Boys. Sawaguri then realizes Ran's cellphone is still connected and prepares to shoot Sera until Conan speaks with his voice changing bow-tie as Shinichi Kudo.

==== Sniping ====
Sawaguri, pleased to have another detective to find the culprit, obeys his requests to take pictures of the hostage's books which were autographed by Miku. During the course of the investigation, the authorities lose the chance to snipe Sawaguri after Ran closes the curtain as she believes Shinichi can find a solution to prevent any deaths. Miku's blog post reveals her last three visitors were from an elephant, a fox, and a rat. Conan explains the animals were based on the hostage's professions: The elephant is Sumika Nihei, due to her husband's seal designs is similar to an elephant's tusk. Shinobu Yuchi is the fox since she is a bakery and her food is colored like a fox's coat, and the rat is Tamami Mitsui whom is a stonemasonry which is gray like a rat's coat. In response, Sawaguri prepares to kill Mitsui.

==== Release ====
Conan declares Mitsui is innocent as Miku was still alive due to the fact that the witness was able to identify the room's number, something that is not possible if the door was left wide open as the number would be hidden from the view, and only possible if they saw it when Miku was closing the door after Mitsui had left. As for Miku's death, it is a suicide or not?

<spoiler>Conan explains she was mimicking the suicide of the main character in her book. Sawaguri becomes distraught as a result and is taken in by the authorities.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Later, Conan reveals his previous deduction was a bluff to contain the situation and that Miku was really murdered by one of her three novelist friends.

* First, Conan excludes Mitsui from the list of suspects due to her action on that day was too unnatural for the culprit who'd carefully planned out a murder disguised as suicide. Her action of leaving the room in hurry would not only cast suspicion on her, but also making it even more unlikely for her to return to Miku's room and commit the murder.

* Rereading Miku's message reveals that the person who still remained in the room was not '''the rat''' (Mitsui), but actually '''the fox''' (Yuchi), thus '''Shinobu Yuchi''' was the last person who remained in the room after Mitsui had left.

==== Timeline of the day of murder ====
* Nihei was the first person to come to Miku's room and asked Miku to sign an autograph for her shortly after the later took a bath in her room.

* Later, Yuchi came to the room and had a quarrel with Miku, refusing to leave even after she had signed an autograph for her.

* During this time, Mitsui arrived in front of the room, forcing Miku to hide Yuchi inside her bathroom. However, Yuchi took Miku's slippers instead of her own, causing Mitsui to mistakenly believe that Miku had gone to the outdoor bath.

* After Miku signed an autograph for Mitsui and made her leave the room by not letting the latter use her bathroom. Yuchi drugged Miku and murdered her, disguising the crime as suicide, then utilized the stated trick to escape the room.

* While there is a possibility that Nihei could also utilize the same method, her methodical personality means that it was less likely for her to pick up the wrong slippers.

==== Evidence ====
* There was a strange blood mark on the bathroom towel indicating that Miku was grasping something before she died. However, no such object was found at the crime scene.

* Despite the fact that they were from the same printing, the pages on Yuchi's autographed book was neatly aligned unlike those of Mitsui's and Nihei's, which means that she filed the edge with sandpaper in order to remove something from it: Miku's bloodstain. She also replaced the blooded cover for the same reason. However, Yuchi was unable to remove the remaining bloodstain that had soaked deeper into the pages, incriminating her as the true culprit of the case.

==== Motive ====
Yuchi confesses and reveals that Miku's debut book was actually a collaboration between the two. While Yuchi was initially proud of Miku when she received a Naomoto Award. She was shocked and angered when she discovered that Miku had been copying her writing style after she had tried to make her own debut as a novelist and visited an editor, who told her of the similarity between their writing styles. When Miku refused Yuchi's request to announce her involvement in the debut work, she decided to murder her in vengeance.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Outbreak ====
Sera asks Ran if she can come over to talk to Conan. Once there, she learns Conan is at Agasa's with the Detective Boys and the fact Conan is with Kogoro on every case. They are soon interrupted when a gunman strapped with bombs and three hostages are brought into the agency.

| age = 41 years old (Mitsui), 36 years old (Yuchi), and 39 years old (Nihei)
| suspects = Isao Sawaguri
| suspects-label = Culprit
| description = Isao Sawaguri came to the Mouri Detective Agency and brought together three female novelists he believes are responsible for his younger sister Miku's death the previous month. Isao threatens to blow up the Agency unless Kogoro reveals to him the truth about his sister's death and reveals her murderer.
}}

The gunman, Isao Sawaguri, demands Kogoro to determine which of his three hostages killed his younger sister.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Suicide? (Past)
| image = EP648-650 Case2.jpg
| location = Furitsukaya Ryokan
| victim = Miku Sawaguri
| cause-death = Loss of blood through wrist slit
| suspects = Tamami Mitsui, Shinobu Yuchi, and Sumika Nihei
| description = According to newspaper reports, novelist Miku Sawaguri committed suicide at the Furitsukaya Ryokan a month previous to Isao's threat on the Mouri Detective Agency. Despite the reports, Isao is convinced that his younger sister's novelist friends are responsible for killing Miku.
}}

Conan calls Ran to ask who she was spotted walking with. Sera answers and pretends to end the call, allowing Conan to eavesdrop on the situation. Conan learns the case of Sawaguri's sister, Miku Sawaguri, was concluded to be suicide when she was found with her wrist slit and her ryokan room locked. Agasa and the Detective Boys leave to interview the local neighborhood association who were at the ryokan during Miku's death. Conan gradually learns more about the case from information spoken by Sawaguri, the media, and the Detective Boys. Sawaguri then realizes Ran's cellphone is still connected and prepares to shoot Sera until Conan speaks with his voice changing bow-tie as Shinichi Kudo.

==== Sniping ====
Sawaguri, pleased to have another detective to find the culprit, obeys his requests to take pictures of the hostage's books which were autographed by Miku. During the course of the investigation, the authorities lose the chance to snipe Sawaguri after Ran closes the curtain as she believes Shinichi can find a solution to prevent any deaths. Miku's blog post reveals her last three visitors were from an elephant, a fox, and a rat. Conan explains the animals were based on the hostage's professions: The elephant is Sumika Nihei, due to her husband's seal designs is similar to an elephant's tusk. Shinobu Yuchi is the fox since she is a bakery and her food is colored like a fox's coat, and the rat is Tamami Mitsui whom is a stonemasonry which is gray like a rat's coat. In response, Sawaguri prepares to kill Mitsui.

==== Release ====
Conan declares Mitsui is innocent as Miku was still alive due to the fact that the witness was able to identify the room's number, something that is not possible if the door was left wide open as the number would be hidden from the view, and only possible if they saw it when Miku was closing the door after Mitsui had left. As for Miku's death, it is a suicide or not?

<spoiler>Conan explains she was mimicking the suicide of the main character in her book. Sawaguri becomes distraught as a result and is taken in by the authorities.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Later, Conan reveals his previous deduction was a bluff to contain the situation and that Miku was really murdered by one of her three novelist friends.

* First, Conan excludes Mitsui from the list of suspects due to her action on that day was too unnatural for the culprit who'd carefully planned out a murder disguised as suicide. Her action of leaving the room in hurry would not only cast suspicion on her, but also making it even more unlikely for her to return to Miku's room and commit the murder.

* Rereading Miku's message reveals that the person who still remained in the room was not '''the rat''' (Mitsui), but actually '''the fox''' (Yuchi), thus '''Shinobu Yuchi''' was the last person who remained in the room after Mitsui had left.

==== Timeline of the day of murder ====
* Nihei was the first person to come to Miku's room and asked Miku to sign an autograph for her shortly after the later took a bath in her room.

* Later, Yuchi came to the room and had a quarrel with Miku, refusing to leave even after she had signed an autograph for her.

* During this time, Mitsui arrived in front of the room, forcing Miku to hide Yuchi inside her bathroom. However, Yuchi took Miku's slippers instead of her own, causing Mitsui to mistakenly believe that Miku had gone to the outdoor bath.

* After Miku signed an autograph for Mitsui and made her leave the room by not letting the latter use her bathroom. Yuchi drugged Miku and murdered her, disguising the crime as suicide, then utilized the stated trick to escape the room.

* While there is a possibility that Nihei could also utilize the same method, her methodical personality means that it was less likely for her to pick up the wrong slippers.

==== Evidence ====
* There was a strange blood mark on the bathroom towel indicating that Miku was grasping something before she died. However, no such object was found at the crime scene.

* Despite the fact that they were from the same printing, the pages on Yuchi's autographed book was neatly aligned unlike those of Mitsui's and Nihei's, which means that she filed the edge with sandpaper in order to remove something from it: Miku's bloodstain. She also replaced the blooded cover for the same reason. However, Yuchi was unable to remove the remaining bloodstain that had soaked deeper into the pages, incriminating her as the true culprit of the case.

==== Motive ====
Yuchi confesses and reveals that Miku's debut book was actually a collaboration between the two. While Yuchi was initially proud of Miku when she received a Naomoto Award. She was shocked and angered when she discovered that Miku had been copying her writing style after she had tried to make her own debut as a novelist and visited an editor, who told her of the similarity between their writing styles. When Miku refused Yuchi's request to announce her involvement in the debut work, she decided to murder her in vengeance.</spoiler>

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
While discussing [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s journey to London and the case he had to solve there, Conan and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] once again discuss Conan's reckless behavior in ingesting the anti-[[APTX 4869]] meant for his return journey in order to reveal himself to [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. An accidental comment makes the other Detective Boys suggest that they play hide and seek inside an abandoned building [[Genta]] knows.

As they begin playing (with Conan once again prevailing with his detective skills), Genta hears a strange knocking that Conan deduces is emergency code 252 - a plea for rescue. While searching through the building, they encounter two men, apparently demolition workers, who claim that they made the knocking sound with hammers. But noticing three consumed sushi bento boxes nearby and catching them with a trick question about how the house is to be torn down, Conan deduces they are fakes and have are really holding someone hostage in the building somewhere.

| description = The kidnappers have kidnapped a rich old man and are attempting to contact his middle-school aged daughter who lives with him to force her to bring ransom cash. When she comes to make the exchange, the kidnappers plan on trapping her in the abandoned building as well and burning it down with the old man and daughter inside.
}}
[[File:Ayumi Cellphone.jpg|thumb|200px|Ayumi talking about her cellphone.]]
In between, the Detective Boys reveal each other's cell phone screen motives: Conan's is a picture showing him and the drunken [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]; Ayumi playing with fireworks; Mitsuhiko's motive is [[Kamen Yaiba]], Haibara's the sleeping [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], and Genta's a stray cat.

Unfortunately, the two culprits have overheard the children's conversation and plan to put them out of the action. Conan manages to trick them and sends his friends running downstairs while he prepares to call the police; but then he trips, losing his cell phone and alerting one of his pursuers. Conan prepares to knock the culprit senseless with his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|power shoes]] and [[Anywhere Ball Dispensing Belt|ball dispenser]], but suddenly the second culprit opens a door between them; the soccer ball bounces off the door right back at Conan, knocking him unconscious.

When the others arrive downstairs, they find the shutters on the entry door closed by the culprits, leaving them trapped inside. Haibara offers herself as a bait, distracting the culprits so that Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta can escape and alert the police. But just as they are about to make the call, the culprits use Haibara and Conan as leverage to force them to abandon that idea, leaving the children stuck between a rock and a hard place.

==== Part 2 ====
With them being secure from the police, the culprits decide to find the remaining children and silence them once and for all to ensure the smoothness of their plan: to have the daughter of their original victim bring the ransom, lock her into the building, and eliminating all witnesses by setting it on fire. While one scours the empty building, the other remains behind in one of the rooms on the fourth floor, with Conan and Haibara kept tied up in the open and their other victim sealed away in a locker. But what the two don't know is that Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta have actually managed to slip into the very same room and hidden themselves in one of the lockers, now able to overhear the two culprits safely but unable to reveal themselves in order to rescue their friends!

However, Conan has managed to grab hold of his [[Detective Boys Badge]] and, taking a leaf from the kidnap victim, he begins to tap messages based on the Tokyo Fire Department emergency codes to his hidden friends. Deciphering the messages with the help of Mitsuhiko's note book, they gradually begin to understand that Conan wants them to call their individual cell phones, which have ended up scattered all around the building, matching the codes he transmits with the cell phone wallpapers in order to play through a chaotic sequence and thereby to draw the kidnappers out of the room.

The plan eventually works: Frazzled with their continuous lack of success in apprehending the kids and contacting their kidnapper's daughter, the second culprit temporarily leaves the room in order to help in the search. The culprits eventually come behind the ruse, but by the time they react, it is already too late: Conan knocks their guard out with his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer watch]] and prepares to ambush his accomplice, unaware that the latter has in the meantime encountered someone on the stairs. And now ominous footsteps are approaching...

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The new arrival turns out to be not the remaining culprit, but [[Subaru Okiya]]. Okiya declares that he had noticed that no one had turned up at [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasas]]' house, and after he had caught two attempts to call up the occupants, he had borrowed one of the spare [[Criminal Tracking Glasses]] to home in on the children's badges and found his way to the house. The other culprit, he claims, must have slipped on the stairs and knocked himself out.

}}

The kidnap victim of course turns out to be Agasa himself, knocked out, bound and gagged inside the sealed locker, and the girl whom the kidnappers had mistaken for his middle-school student daughter has really been Ai, due to her rather adult-like way of talking on the phone (they never saw her personally). The next day, the Professor confesses over a serving of curry rice for everyone that he did tap the fateful message the children had caught after hearing their voices, but did not know of any emergency codes. He had actually meant to convey "''Sugu keisatsu-ni yobe!''" ("Call the police right away"), with the words as syllables - only just - coincidentally matching the knocking sequence 252.

Clues as to how Conan discovered the culprits to be impostors:
* Since there are still buildings in use right next to the building, it would be impossible for it to be imploded.
* Even though there are three lunches and the man claims to have ate two, there were three pairs of chopsticks, so why would he need an extra pair?
* The two men who claim they are going to demolish this building, so they're striking the walls to inspect their strength. However you need to cross-check and thoroughly examine the building's construction blueprints in order to fine-tune the amount of explosive power and it's placement. That's why it can't be done using just a hammer without any machinery.</spoiler>

[[File:252 deleted scene 1.PNG|thumb|left|200px|The deleted earthquake scene.]][[File:252 deleted scene 2.PNG|thumb|right|200px|The aftermath of the earthquake.]]
* The manga version of this case featured an earthquake between the hide and seek scenes and Genta discovering the knocking. This scene was removed from the anime out of sensitivity to the recent [[Wikipedia:2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami| Tōhoku earthquake]] that occurred in March 2011. In the deleted section, Conan was the seeker and had just finished finding everyone except Genta when the earthquake struck. After recovering, they asked Genta to return to the first floor using the detective badge so they could leave in case of aftershocks. Genta was upset that the game was ending prematurely and yelled into the detective badge. Genta then heard the knocking. The Detective Boys were worried the knocking signaled someone was trapped in the building because of the earthquake, so they investigated and encountered the two workers.
* In the manga, Conan's bruise disappeared after some time during the kidnapping. In the anime, his bruise remains there until the end, and during the scene at Agasa's house, his bruise has been bandaged.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Sato is the talk of the police department after she is spotted wearing a new ring on her left-hand's ring finger. The other officers jealously corner Takagi thinking he got engaged to Sato and had been hiding it. Much to everyone's shock, Takagi did not give Sato the ring, which leads to even more speculation. Takagi is depressed and want to know who captured Sato's heart, but he isn't able to successfully ask her.

Meanwhile, Kogoro is invited to attend an interview of the mystery book writer Masataka Moroguchi. Masataka Moroguchi recently acquired a gaudy diamond ring embedded with dozens and dozens of small diamonds. The next day, Moroguchi is found dead from consumption of poison and his ring is gone.

{{InfoBox Crime

| description = The locked room was inaccessible to an outsider except for a small window. The only key was in Masataka's palm.
}}

The room was locked and the key was in Masataka's upward facing, open palm. The only opening to the room is a small window that a child would have trouble squeezing through. The body was on the opposite side of the room, quite a distance from the window. Sato and Takagi are called to the scene. Despite these circumstances, the two officers and Conan believe Masataka was murdered by one of his three interviewers.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>After a thorough investigation, Conan drops hints allowing Sato, Takagi and Kogoro to solve the murder. After the murderer gave Moroguchi poisoned coffee, he left the room, locked the door, and used a trick to deposit the key in Moroguchi's hand from the small window. Kogoro reveals that the murderer looped an unknown string-like-object around Moroguchi's ring and led the string to the window. This created a direct line from the window to the hand that the key could slide down. The only object fitting this description was the interviewer's '''Kakuji Dejima''' cassette tape strings. They reveal that the forensic team should find Moroguchi's blood on the cassette tape. Dejima confesses and reveals that he murdered Moroguchi in vengeance for his friend, Akiba. Akiba was Moroguchi's assistant and was forced to be a test subject for murder ideas which eventually resulted in Akiba's death. Since the police were unable to determine how Akiba was killed, they ruled it as a suicide and Moroguchi was left unpunished. Later that day, Ran asks Sato about the ring on her ring finger. Sato replies that Yumi told her the ring was a charm that would keep bugs away and accepts Takagi's proposal to use his ring as a replacement to the charm.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Detective Conan chief producer, [[Michihiko Suwa]], voiced one of the police detectives in this episode.
* This case featured an [[Sekai wa Mawaru to Yū Keredo|unique closing animation]] based on the case's police and ring theme. The unique opening animation was also based solely on this case. No other person was shown in this opening other than Sato, Takagi, Megure, and Shiratori, except for other Police officers behind Shiratori.
* This case came out in both the manga and the anime, and it was brought up about [[Wikipedia: Cassette tape|cassette tape]] recorders being outdated, and most people are using [[Wikipedia: Digital audio|digital]] recorders at this time.
* When Conan remembered Sato fiddling with 'Sleeping Kogoro's' mouth, he was referring to [[The Shinkansen Transport Case]], which is why he was hesitant to put Kogoro to sleep in this case, however in the [[Photo E-mail from the Clown]] he did put Kogoro to sleep in front of her without hesitation, however that case was a filler.
* Many paintings in Moroguchi household are from Oikawa's house in [[Kaitou Kid and the Four Masterpieces#Trivia|Kaitou Kid and the Four Masterpieces]], and two of them are from the recycle shop in [[The Victim Who Came Back#Trivia|The Victim Who Came Back]], from [[Kogoro Gets Drunk in Satsuma#Trivia|Kogoro Gets Drunk in Satsuma]], and from Akagi Inn in [[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief#Trivia|Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]].

=== Situation ===
Takagi and Miyamoto pose as a bride and groom in order to catch a serial killer/burglar who had threatened to kill the real bride and groom. When Chiba reports that the burned corpse of one of the weddings guests is found near the river, Megure deduces that the victim was killed by the serial killer in order to obtain the wedding invitation. A mysterious video arrives at the wedding party from a friend of the groom. After watching the video, Megure suspects that the killer is already in the chapel and Conan suggests that the bride should meet with the guests in order to find the burglar who broke into her house. The bride reports that there are three suspicious guests: a photographer named Rinzo Gunji, a snowboarding instructor named Teigo Shimabukuro, and an internet administrator named Fukuharu Karube. The groom insists that the wedding continues, despite Megure's protests.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>As the bride walks down the aisle, the burglar suddenly appears. However, the groom announces that the burglar is actually a police officer, Chiba, posing as the burglar. Megure points out that Chiba has been by the river and the groom could not have figured out the burglar's true identity. Megure also reveals that the groom, '''Masateru Taira''', was the burglar's accomplice and in the end killed the burglar so he could marry Rei solely for money and then kill her.

| suspects = Masateru Taira

| description = Taira stabs Sato whom he believes is Yumi.
}}

When Taira attempts to escape, he grabs the knife from Chiba and stabs "Yumi" who is actually Sato because they had traded places earlier since Sato had already realised Taira's true intentions and wanted to keep Yumi away from danger. Sato turns out to be fine because the wedding corset blocked the knife from penetrating, and she chases after Taira, but cannot go as fast as usual because of the dress's length.

Outside, Takagi hears what's happening to Sato over the phone, so he rushes to the front of the church. Conan tries to take Taira but he doesn't have his super sneakers on, so he helps Ran take him down the moment he steps outside. Finally catching up, Sato mistakes Takagi for Taira, and she throws him down and pins him. Gunji captures this moment on film.

In the end, Gunji used Sato and Takagi's photo for a wedding billboard which embarrasses both Takagi and Sato. The wedding billboard also makes Shiratori jealous and causes Chiba to caution Shiratori that tearing it down would be vandalism.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The anime added a prolouge scene where Takagi had a dream that he is marrying with Yumi, Sato then congratulate him before throws him down, which cause him to wake up as he's also fall down from the bed.

== Trivia ==
* This is the final outsourcing production from the Japanese animation studio, [[Sunshine Corporation]].

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Detective Takagi comes back to the police department after an all night stakeout and gets reprimanded by Detective Sato for his poorly appearance. She then starts fixing his necktie, only for him to get flustered when he notices a group of other male policemen (save for Shiratori) giving him death glares out of jealousy.

The other policemen start gossiping in the hall about how Sato and Takagi kissed and had lunch together, and then Shiratori arrives. As the "Sato Miwako Defense Line" group, they try to rope Shiratori into their antics, but he doesn't take the bait and walks out by saying he's resigning to the group. One of the policemen says he's found out that Shiratori has a girlfriend, and adds how she looks exactly like Sato - said girlfriend is Sumiko Kobayashi.

Shiratori calls Sumiko at work and tells her to be careful at night, since there's a purse snatcher in the area. She asks him why he's so concerned and is flustered when he mistakenly thinks she's bothered. The Detective Boys, Ai and Conan are there since they're on cleaning duty, and the younger kids are happy to find out the call's from Shiratori and try to clue her in the supposed encounter she and Shiratori had in the past. While she feels that they've met before, she can't exactly recall when or where.

Later that day, the Detective Boys and Sumiko go to see a summer festival's fireworks display: Agasa can't take them there because he's helping out a friend who has just movbed to Tokyo, Ran is in a summer camp, and Kogoro will go drinking with some friends. Sumiko gets left behind since she arrived late, started talking to herself in the middle of a conversation with them ''and'' the fireworks had already started, but as she's looking for the children she overhears a quarrel. She walks into the alley the voices come from, briefly thinking of whether she should call Shiratori or not. Then she sees the figure of the culprit run away in the shadows and finds a person who has been stabbed to death.

In the middle of the fireworks display Conan realises that Sumiko hasn't arrived. He tells the others to stay put before he goes look for her and arrives to the alley, where he hears Kobayashi scream. With her hands covered in blood, Sumiko looks at her side and sees the culprit again. Then Conan arrives and he or she is gone.

The next day, the kids and Sumiko are in the police station. Upon her arrival Sumiko is mistaken as Sato by Yumi (who teases her and even slaps her butt playfully), and later by Chiba. Shiratori arrives and explains the situation, leaving the two dumbfounded about the physical similarities and the completely different behavior of both women. Takagi arrives and says he was just as shocked when he met her, and is scolded by Sato though he's a bit late to see her.

The group is questioned as witnesses by the police. Sumiko tells them all she can remember of the encounter last night, including how she believes the suspect to be a woman due to the figure's long hair and apparent large breasts. Conan and Shiratori fear that said suspect will go after her, and when the Detective Boys offer to stay over, Shiratori says it won't be needed and then tells a flustered Sumiko that he will protect her even with his life. Ai says he might be getting over his head, and then Sumiko adds that she saw a truck around. Other details go to the surface: namely, the victim Akira Sumida's manly looks, and she looks so manly in the picture given to the kids that Conan can only distinguish her gender by how she wears a blouse rather than a man's shirt, and her incredibly unpleasing and ruthless business manners, as well as how Sumiko heard a voice right before the murder.

Three suspects are interrogated, and all three had personal motives to murder Akira Sumida. The first one is the former gang leaderess Kikuna Kagitani, who hated Sumida for having callously called her late mother's very expensive ring that she pawned as a "worthless item" and claiming she had sold it, when she was actually wearing it. The second is the restaurateur Ryouko Takimoto, who was angry because she was tricked by Sumida into buying a fake antique plate for half a million yens, which was revealed to be a cat's plate worth only 300 yens. The third and last one is the ex-baseball player and now host club worker Ryousuke Kodama, who says that Sumida repeteadly and menacingly ordered him to return the money that she loaned him. None of them have fool-proof alibis: Kagitani says she was home alone watching a soccer match, Takimoto tells she was sleeping off her huge cold, and Kodama says he was drinking heavily at his apartment, but no one else can confirm it.

In the middle of the investigation, Sumiko goes to the rest room with Ai and Ayumi. While waiting for the girls to be done, Sumiko briefly sees Satou and Takagi walking by and is very giddy by how similar they are in looks. Before she can do anything, however, she also overhears the male policemen from the beginning saying that Shiratori was part of the "Miwako Sato Ultimate Defense Line" head and that they believe Sumiko is a replacement for Sato. Sumiko, who was starting to develop a huge crush on Shiratori, slumps to her knees in disappointment and sadness, much to the worry of the girls when they see her.

Shiratori has Sumiko listen to the three culprit's voices, and she says that none of them was the voice that shouted out. For worse, Chiba hasn't been able to find the truck that was supposed to be around. When done with the interrogation, Sumiko says she cannot do anything else to help and storms out of the police station, coldly refusing Shiratori's offers to escort her. Chiba does so, under Shiratori's request, so she won't be attacked by the actual culprit. Shiratori doesn't understand why is she so angry, so Ai tells him that she and Ayumi saw Sumiko depressed all of a sudden; she deduces that she surely saw Sato ''and'' heard the rumors that Shiratori is only settling for her in place of Sato, which must have hurt her deeply. Shiratori is shocked since he's completely sure that Sumiko is his "girl of destiny" and not Sato, and the kids try to convince him to speak up. The situation is made even more awkward when Sato and Takagi arrive to the scene, because Sato has just learned about Kobayashi, is very happy to find out Shiratori is in love, and now she wants to show her support to his "bid" to Sumiko's affections.

The next day, the kids keep company to the still depressed Sumiko after class and switch from discussing the deals with Shiratori to discussing the backgrounds and probable motivations of the culprits. They conclude that the voice Sumiko heard may have been altered by a mask, but Conan and Ai aren't certain about it being the voice of the only culprit who wore a mask (Takimoto, who had a huge cold and thus wore one to not spread her illness). Mitsuhiko and Ayumi add that the culprit may have been a woman, thanks to the figure that Sumiko saw, and Conan wonders if Sumiko heard the ''victim'' talk rather than the culprit. Mitsuhiko adds that Agasa told him that his friend had hired a truck from the ''Osaka Nikko Nikko'' company when he moved, but it lingered around the streets for a while and arrived late to the friend's new home because the driver was unused to Tokyo's street layouts and got lost in his way.

Shiratori arrives and tries to have Sumiko listen to the recorded voices again, but when she asks if he believes her to be a liar, he says he's the one lying since he has come to see her. He attempts to rectify the misunderstanding by properly revealing to her how they met many years ago in a bookstore when confronting a pair of thieves, but Sumiko claims to be unable to remember the event and replies it must have been Sato after all, running away into the school grounds. The children realise some changes in his version, and Shiratori admits that he made slight modifications to reinforce his pre-existing claim; since this backfired, they tell him not to give up, and then Conan says that if Shiratori catches the culprit, Sumiko might open her heart to him again. In the middle of this, however, someone is seen lurking around the school grounds; Conan checks around and then tries to convince everyone that there's nothing to talk about anymore.

Later that night, at the school, Sumiko receives a phone call from a mysterious police member. S/he claims that the truck was found and that s/he is coming to see her since s/he wants to show her photos of it; s/he adds s/he's an ex-pupil of Teitan Elementary and asks Sumiko to meet up at the music room, since s/he felt "nostalgic" around it. As the only teacher around the grounds, Sumiko accepts, but then she recalls that the person didn't tell her his/her name and that the music room was remodelled few ago so this person can't be "nostalgic" for it, and ''then'' a presence behind her shocks her.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Sumiko enters the music room, where the culprit proceeds to attack her with a baseball bat. However, she manages to incapacitate the culprit with an elbow to the face and then a suplex, and she is revealed to be Sato in disguise. The Detective Boys and Shiratori appear alongside the real Sumiko, revealing Sato replaced her in the hallway and naming the culprit to be '''Ryusuke Kodama'''.

The Detective Boys reveal that Sumiko's testimony was correct, and that she mistook Kodama to be a woman in the alley due to his long hair (which he has now cut short) and the position of his arm (which was grabbing his shoulder) making him seem as if he had breasts. Conan explains the woman's voice that was heard belonged to Sumida, and that 09 was actually OS and stood for the first two letters of ''Osaka Nico Nico transportation'', the company it belongs to. Shiratori reveals that they questioned the truck driver, who saw the victim and Kodama entering the alley. Conan adds that Kodama knew from the start that Sumiko was a teacher, since he heard him call out to her; based on that, he looked for the nearest elementary school and easily located his second target.

Kodama admits that he wanted to silence Sumiko before she spoke up more, and explains that Sumida once was his sponsor in his very promising career as a baseball player for the Koshien team. When he hurt his shoulder twice and couldn't even play in small teams anymore, Sumida started to get more and more demanding in regards to the money she loaned him; according to Kodama, she was planning to force him get a life insurance and then kill him to receive money from it and settle the massive debt.

Kodama finishes his confession saying that his murder of Sumida was in self-defense and to protect his life and dreams. But Shiratori refuses this explanation because according to the law, self-defense relies on ''lack of actual killing plans'' (unlike in Kodama's case, since he was carrying a knife when he met up with Sumida for the last time), ''and'' he's used a baseball bat to harm innocent people which earns him no right to talk about any dreams. Shiratori does this in a manner than triggers Sumiko's memories of his young self telling similar things to the shoplifters they stopped, and she finally remembers their chance encounter. When she tells him so, Shiratori says that he's loved Sumiko even from before the children before them were born, and she shyly but happily accepts his definitive love confession. Sato pulls Conan aside to ask him if she's the cute teacher who caught Shiratori's attention and obliviously wonders where she has seen her.

The next day Shiratori refuses to go have lunch with Chiba, Sato and Takagi, since Sumiko has made him a ''bento'' lunch. He leaves rather cheerfully and Takagi tries to ask Sato if she'd make him a ''bento'', but she misunderstands the question and believes he wants to buy bento lunches for the two.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* Right after Sumiko and the girls go to the bathroom, the anime inserts a short scene wherre a confused Shiratori tells them to take their time and both Genta and Mitsuhiko say he was very rude, which greatly embarrasses him.
* In the manga, there's a short scene where Takagi and Sato talk about the case in the hallway and Takagi tries to discourage Sato from meeting up with Sumiko for the moment, right before Sumiko sees her from afar and realises how similar they look. The anime switches Sato and Takagi's POV with Sumiko's own: as she's waiting for Ayumi and Ai next to the door, she cheerfully remembers that as a kid she wanted to be a police woman and fantasizes about it until she catches glimpses of Takagi and Sato and realises how similar she and Sato look.
* The moment where Sato meets up with Shiratori and the kids and tries to ask them about Sumiko is less than a page long in the manga, but it's expanded in the anime to a sequence where Shiratori gets increasingly dispirited as she talks to him and the children end up giving her borderline death glares.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Yumi overhears that a promotion for Takagi will send him to a case in a far away place where he shall remain there until the case is solved. Apparently the case involves a large number of people in a crime organization, where he is expected to be there for three years. Later the Detecitve Boys are walking home when they noticed a strange jogger. Takagi, Sato, and Chosuke are placed on the case of a murder.

Yui Shimura is one of the office workers. The Detective Boys come across them and identify the jogger as the suspect. When they arrive, Akiro Kato's alibi of video recordings proves he was there the whole time the murder took place, but the Detective Boys are certain he was the jogger. What's more, the alibi is confirmed by Detective Chiba, since it's his roommate.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan discovers that '''Akira Kato''' tricked Chiba's sense of time. He revealed that there was a re-airing of the news, and it was dubbed. He also revealed that Kato cut out parts and fast forwarded parts of the video to manipulate time. He also spun the time two hours behind, and slowly fixed it as the day dragged on.

==== Motive ====
Kato confesses that Nakamoto was responsible for Yui breaking up with him: during the time that he was working abroad, Nakamoto hid all of his letters
that he had sent her from Yui, which made her believed that Kato stop caring for her and broke up with him to be with Nakamoto. He went to talk to Nakamoto and he gave all of his letters back to him, while calling him a sucker. Realizing what he had done Kato had decided to kill him right then.

Afterwards, Takagi almost proposes to Sato but Megure reveals to him "Chosuke Takagi" is the one being sent to another prefecture for another case. They later take the Detective Boys to karaoke.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* One of the figurines on the TV's shelf is ''[[Wikipedia: Astro Boy|Astro Boy]]''.
* When Yumi sneezed, she is standing beside a policewoman poster of what looks like herself.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Conan gets a new book, then returns home to discover that Heiji and Kazuha have dropped by for a surprise visit. The gang then goes to a pasta restaurant where Heiji wants to go see a baseball game the next day, while Kazuha wants to see a [[Wikipedia:Takarazuka Revue|Takarazuka]] theater show. Mouri decides that to figure out where to go, they will have a deduction contest on a case that Mouri just received. Kazuha then says that it's unfair, because Heiji is a great detective. Hence, Mouri says that he will support Kazuha in the case. Heiji notices that Kogoro wants to see showgirls at the theater. Ran also supports Kazuha, since they're good friends, leaving Conan on Heiji's side.

==== Part 2 ====
Heiji decides to throw the match for Kazuha but he accidentally solves the case. Kazuha tells Ran she does not really mind, as she just wanted to see Heiji's excitement when he solves a case.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>In the end, Heiji and Conan solve the case. The murderer turns out to be '''Atsushi Hasami'''. The proof is the calendar which is torn by the suspect because of the blood. The suspect used Hajime Iwatomi shoes because the president can only see the shoes, allowing the suspect to use the video camera to see what the president was doing and witnessed him leaving behind a dying message implicating Iwatomi just as he planned.

==== Motive ====
Hasami murdered president Tsuchiya while pinning the blame on Iwatomi also because he and Iwatomi tried to push selling unsafe toys which may harm the children that bought it, claiming that the company doesn't have enough income for the safety procedure, despite the fact that the president himself had embezzled huge amounts of the profit and hid them inside the safe under everyone's nose. Hasami didn’t want to lie to children to sell shoddy dangerous toys.
</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* The book Conan bought is named ''Detective Samonji Series, File 44: "The Last Will and Testament Prepared by the Devil"'', and it's also considered the final chapter.
* The suspects names are all themed after the game, rock paper scissors. Hasami Atsushi is scissors, as scissors in Japanese is hasami (although written with different kanji). The gami in Nakagami Isao is paper, and the iwa in Iwatomi Hajime is boulder, the kanji of which is made up of mountain and rock. When kids in Japan end in a tie in rock paper scissors they say aiko desho when they play again, which overlaps with Aiko Nao.

{{nihongo|'''''{{PAGENAME}}'''''|黒の組織と真っ向勝負満月の夜の二元ミステリー|Kuro no Soshiki to Makkō Shōbu Mangetsu no Yoru no Nigen Misuterī}}, known as '''The Confrontation with the Black Organization Night of the Full Moon Dual Mystery''' in [[Case Closed#Studio Nano (3rd English dub)|Studio Nano]]'s English release, is the 345th episode of ''[[Detective Conan]]'' [[anime]].

It adapts [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case]](ch 429-434) in [[volume 42]] of the ''Detective Conan'' [[Manga|manga]] and it was first aired in January 5, 2004. The English-dubbed version of the episode was released in August 21, 2025, as part of the ''Detective Conan Episode Selections'', [[Case Closed#Studio Nano (3rd English dub)|Conan vs. The Black Organization]].

It is the first two-and-a-half-hour special to be aired, split in five thirty-minute segments. It makes use of quality animation from experienced animators, showing the potential of digital animation in the early days of the series. It was storyboarded by [[Yasuichiro Yamamoto]] and [[Chika Ichimaru]], and animated by [[Keiko Sasaki]], [[Rei Masunaga]], [[Atsushi Aono]], [[Akiko Kawashima]] and [[Katsunori Enomoto]].

It is one of the most important episodes of the series, being the culmination of the [[Timeline|Vermouth storyline]]. It is regarded by many fans as one of the best episodes of the series, due to its contrived plot surrounding Conan's plan to take down Vermouth and for the major revelations that will be important later on in the series<ref>https://tomsoya.hatenablog.com/entry/2020/05/08/004948</ref>.

Taking place at a mysterious off-season halloween party on a pirate ship in Tokyo Bay where the event organizer is killed, it shows a confrontation between [[Conan]] and [[Vermouth]], the latter knowing Conan's real identity as [[Shinichi Kudo]] and planning for him to arrive at the event so the [[Black Organization]] can corner him. However, Conan has prepared a cunning plan to take down Vermouth, as she is also targeting [[Ai Haibara]], the runaway scientist from the Organization. The case's conclusion results with Conan's discovery of [[the Boss]]'s cellphone number.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] receives a letter containing an invitation to an off-season Halloween party that will happen on the following day, and a mildly sarcastic letter from someone named '''Vermouth''' in Latin. Later that day, while [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] is trying out makeups on Kogoro so he is ready to join the party and show that Vermouth has underestimated his deductive skills, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] calls [[Agasa Hiroshi|Agasa]] to ask him if he knows anyone named Vermouth, to which he denies. In addition, Ran also asks him if [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] received a similar letter to Kogoro, with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] hearing the call nearby and holding that same invitation. He asks Agasa to not say anything to Ran. Though the letter Conan received is for him, the letter was sent to the [[Kudo residence]], meaning that the party could potentially be a trap to lure Shinichi Kudo out and silence him. Conan then receives a message texting “OK” from someone that makes him smile, implying that he is ready to confront Vermouth.

Meanwhile, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] are discussing that off-season Halloween party as Vodka was ordered by the [[Black Organization|Organization]] to investigate Vermouth's whereabouts, with Gin being extremely annoyed and ordering Vodka to kill her regardless of [[The Boss|someone]] protecting her if she is acting on her own again.

That night, Conan is seen at his residence, seeing that the readings of the electricity, water, and gas meters have all increased suddenly ever since he received the invitation, and he decides to go in the house, only to hear a gun being cocked in the dark before the scene moves on to the next day.

That day, a sickened [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] wakes up and notices that she is once again left alone out of Conan's plan for his confrontation with Vermouth.

Kogoro and Sonoko are on a taxi to the location of the party and happen to know that their driver is also a guest of the party. In the reception desk outside of the Halloween cruise, Kogoro is surprised to learn that the crews in charge of the registration procedure have never seen that sarcastic letter. The surprise escalates as we hear the female receptionist asking if the Invisible Man is Shinichi, to which he confirms but tells the girl to keep silent about his participation. At the party, when most people have come, the Haunted Ghost Captain arrives and tells everyone to split based on a specific rule that has been determined earlier by the receptionists. The team Kogoro and Sonoko join includes people disguised as Medusa, Invisible Man, Mummy, Werewolf, and Frankenstein.

Meanwhile in Agasa’s residence, [[Tomoaki Araide]] calls Agasa’s desk phone offering to take Haibara to the hospital where a friend of his will be taking care of that night only, to which the left alone Haibara agrees, with [[Jodie Starling]] eavesdropping the conversation all along.

After Sonoko’s group gathered enough, she realizes that Frankenstein, Werewolf, and the Mummy have gone somewhere, with the two sooners are seen in the restroom. However, the Werewolf acts somewhat weirder than usual. The lights are off as the Captain starts the game intended from the beginning: Looking for the human who has been sneaking in the monsters and eating him as the trophy (no, we aren’t gonna eat him, right?).

Meanwhile, Araide is in his car to pick up Haibara when the road (which is later revealed to be deliberately laid out as the person blocking the way is seen contacting someone, signifying that Araide is the target) is jammed because some tools from the person’s truck have fallen, forcing Araide to wait as coincidentally, the alternative route has been blocked by a huge truck.

Back to the human tracing game, it appears that the Haunted Ghost Captain has been killed with a crossbow bolt hitting a card of a team member Kogoro and Sonoko as there are blood drops after everyone sees the hanged body of the Captain and thought it was for joking purpose.

Jodie arrives at the Agasa’s residence and tells Haibara that Araide has been stuck in a traffic jam and has asked her to take the girl into the hospital for him. The scene where Jodie led Haibara into the car is witnessed by Araide, making him wonder why she is there.

Returning to the scene of the murder, Kogoro asks for a camera that can take pictures immediately for investigation purposes before he opens the mask of the captain and learns that the person is Senzo Fukura, also famous for the “Friday the Thirteen” series outside of the The Haunted Ship. The mask also has a microphone that is connected directly to the nearby speaker system.

Kogoro directs his suspicion toward the receptionists, but the suspicion cool down as:
*Kogoro remembered that all the guests were hearing the riddle given by The Captain, who stopped it midway, so they couldn’t shoot an arrow without being noticed. But there were some guests who were in another place to have a view of the sea, so they could still be potential suspects.
*Kogoro also assumes that they could have made extra tarot cards so that they can frame one of the guests, but the cards were made by the Captain himself and there were no spare ones as well.

Medusa suggests that the culprit must have been one of the people in the group. Kogoro decides to call Ran that he will be home late due to the case, but is unable to contact her. He then has everyone in the group hold out their tarot card, but the mummy is unable to for some reason.

In an attempt to prove his innocence, the mummy reveals that he and other mummies are the crew members of the film that were ordered by The Captain to sneak in the monsters and choose the best candidates. The mummies were also told to only consume a specific kind of food/drink, and to not communicate, until the victim was found dead as they will have to join the interrogation.

At the moment, the Invisible Man also tries to investigate the scene on his own, doing things of a detective that are very familiar to us. He happens to discover a rooster above the ship.

The mummy (one that is a suspect) also claims that he was absent along with the Werewolf and Frankenstein in the restroom. However, Frankenstein and Werewolf couldn’t confirm his appearance when the mummy got out of the restroom like us. There is much evidence that suggests the mummy with the devil tarot card is the culprit, but is he the one?

Meanwhile, Araide is pursuing Jodie as he did not call her for help when he was stopped due to the traffic jam, unlike what Jodie had told Haibara earlier. So what is the true purpose of Jodie?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== The Murder at the off-season Halloween Party ====

[[File:Cocktail.jpg|thumb|right|demonstration of "cocktail" which points to the drink Silver Bullet.]]

The Invisible Man gathers the party guests to the bow of the boat and reveals his identity as Shinichi and declares the '''Werewolf''' as the murderer. He reveals that the werewolf placed his mask on the Mummy to establish his own alibi evidenced when the Werewolf come out of the Mummy's bathroom stall. Shinichi speculates that he obtained sleeping gas from the organization beforehand and drugged the Mummy participant unconscious to perform this trick. To support this, Shinichi points to the fact that the Werewolf claimed he was busy concentrating on staying in character so he could be hired to star in the movie, yet the Mummy participant unknowingly disguised as him was drinking a cocktail, known as a "[https://cocktails.fandom.com/wiki/Silver_Bullet Silver Bullet]" and this object being the only thing that could kill a werewolf brings suspicion to the Werewolf. This also means that he was the “human” in the human tracing game. Medusa asks for his permission to remove the bandage and verifies that this deduction was correct. As evidence, Shinichi reveals that there was glass shards on the balcony where the host was killed and that there should be glass shards between the soles of the Werewolf's shoes.

The Werewolf confesses blaming '''Vermouth''' for his ordeal and begging for help. He revealed that he expressed sentiments to kill Senzo Fukura on a hate forum because his taking over as the new producer of the "Ghost Captain" movie series completely ruined the show. Vermouth found this post and sent him threatening pictures of his house and family to blackmail him to kill the captain.

==== Pursuit for Haibara ====

As Araide’s car and Jodie’s car stop at the pier, Jodie asks Araide details about his father’s murder to help us realize that Araide is actually someone else in disguise, as based on what has been arranged in the event of [[The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]. Jodie then reveals to us that the person is '''Vermouth''', who killed Jodie’s father and burned his house to ashes to stop an investigation against her.

Jodie noticed that Vermouth's cover actress, Chris Vineyard, was visiting Araide's clinic regularly and realized that she was going to eliminate him and his family to impersonate the doctor. Fortunately, FBI intervened in a way so it went ahead as usual, except for the elimination part, and the Araide family are safe for now.

}}

One time when Jodie sneaked into Vermouth's hideout, she discovered a brown-haired girl picture was torn apart, while Ran and Conan were seen by her as Angel and Cool Guy, respectively. Jodie also wonders what Vermouth wants to do with the girl in the torn picture that looks similar to Haibara, why Araide protected Conan in [[The Mysterious Passenger]], and why hasn’t Vermouth aged since their last encounter.

However, unbeknownst to her, Vermouth had disguised as Jodie and lured the FBI agents away. Jodie was then shot by Vermouth's accompanying partner, [[Calvados]]. Vermouth also reveals that she stole all files of cases that involved Kogoro Mouri so that the FBI couldn’t figure out why Vermouth did that, and to reveal the position of FBI agents. One mystery that Vermouth couldn’t figure out is how Jodie knew the truth of Araide's father murder. The latter explains that she was informed and told to do that.

Back at the party once again before the scene focuses on the pursuit for Haibara, Shinichi is revealed to be '''Heiji''' in disguise, while upon seeing the situation change, Haibara reveals herself to be '''Conan''' in disguise. The person Conan encountered the night before the party is actually Yukiko Kudo. The whole disguise plan was done to distract Vermouth from noticing Conan's absence, as the whole party was the way for Vermouth to distract Shinichi, who had shrunk into Conan, away from Haibara so that she can approach Haibara and eliminate her as Araide. However, the real Haibara arrives at the pier and is narrowly saved from death by Ran's timely appearance.

}}

The last character then entered the scene. Akai Shuichi, revealed to be an FBI agent, shot Calvados to render him useless. Calvados then committed suicide.

Seeing the situation is disadvantaged on her side, Vermouth fled away, capturing unconscious Conan as hostage.

Conan reveals to Vermouth he has a covert listening device on him that will send everything that was said to the authorities in the event of his death. Vermouth exhales a sleeping gas on Conan and tells him she will postpone her plan on murdering Haibara for now. Conan awakens to find out the device has been destroyed and no evidence of the Black Organization remain.

'''Summary'''
* [[Vermouth]] was disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]].
* [[Vodka]] was disguised as Zombie.
* [[Conan Edogawa]] was disguised as [[Ai Haibara]].
* [[Heiji Hattori]] was disguised as [[Shinichi Kudo]] underneath the Invisible Man costume.
* [[Yukiko Kudo]] was disguised as Medusa.
* The murderer which Shinichi Kudo and [[Ran Mouri]] encountered in New York was actually Vermouth.
* The given codename for Vermouth in the FBI was "Rotten Apple".
* [[Shuichi Akai]] was previously considered by Vermouth as the Black Organization's "Silver Bullet", but from the end of this episode onwards (even up to [[The Raven Chaser]]) she finally thought the organization's real downfall would be Shinichi Kudo.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
<spoiler>
* In the anime, in the flashback to Vermouth killing Jodie's father, Vermouth has a bruise or dirt or a scratch of some kind on one side of her face that is consistent across several frames looking like a defensive mark. This mark is not present in the manga at all.
* Akai is shown to cock and fire the shotgun singlehandedly, having his other hand in his pocket, in the manga, and in the anime, they show him using both hands.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* This case is the first two and a half hour special. The second and final would be [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]](ep 425).
* In the post-credit scene, Gin is now driving a Porsche with the license plate of 43-68, instead of the 48-69, which it was in [[Reunion with the Black Organization]](ep 176-178).
* The type of vehicles shown in this episode are:
** Jodie's white Peugeot 607.
** Araide's Toyota Prius.
<spoiler>
* When Jodie was talking with Araide about an upcoming trial, she was referring to the case from [[The Blind Spot in the Darkness]](ep 170-171), where he is expected to testify at, only she now knows the truth about that case.
* Yukiko revealed that it took her six hours to perfect Heiji's disguise.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
This episode reveals bits and pieces of [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]]'s family. Haibara knows very little about her parents, and considers her mother a cold and mysterious woman, nicknamed "Hell Angel" by the [[Black Organization]]. [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] then brought [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and her to the house of her father's old friend in [[Wikipedia: Kōenji|Kōenji]], who is professor Miyano's friend. Haibara takes an interest in seeing the house, where her father grew up. They learn that Professor Miyano once came here with his wife Elena and their daughter Akemi. Professor Miyano wanted to discuss something with Dejima, but he wasn't home. The family waited for a while, but left. Later, after leaving the bathroom, professor Dejima is murdered, leading Haibara to believe the Black Organization is behind it.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Tetsuo Imai'''. Sohei Dejima as suspected was poisoned in design office's bathroom. The poison was lathered onto an empty toilet paper roll that the president touched by changing it with a new one. The poison found in his hamburger and hands were merely trace markings. To guarantee the president went to the bathroom when his trap was set, Imai served Dejima's morning coffee with laxatives.

When it was brought up that Zaitsu could be poisoned as he used the restroom last, it is reasoned that Imai knew his colleague would only urinate as there was hardly a sound of water being flushed (there was a water shortage in the building due to supposed tampering from the Black Organization) and the fact that he noticed him drinking a lot. The bag used to contain the poison was retrieved from the dirtiest part of the building's sink.

Imai confesses saying that twenty years ago he desired to work independently from Dejima and start afresh in a new company. Dejima colluded with his rival design companies to deny helping him achieve his dream, causing him to plan to murder his boss. Only the presence of the young Akemi Miyano, who Imai saw as his conscience, stopped him once she saw him seriously looking at the sink. He told her that he was just tired, and Akemi believed it.

Her pranks to hide design objects in the house was to give Imai rest. However, his vengeance resurfaced again when he decided to become independent, but was told by Dejima that "it wouldn't have worked out, unless it was him from 20 years ago". Akemi's short visit, as well as her promise to return with Shiho, would've sooth him of his revenge. Tragically, Imai went through with his vengeance as Akemi never returned, due to her untimely demise at the hands of Gin.

Conan retrieves the secret that Akemi hid in the bathroom. It turned out to be a set of cassette tapes, recorded by Akemi and Haibara's deceased mother Elena, for Haibara's birthday every year right up till the year she turns 20. The episode ended with Conan saying that Elena Miyano was a true angel.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* Atsushi Miyano wasn't shown in any flashback in the original manga version, where his true appearance remains unknown until file 1011.
* There is a scene where Haibara visualise a shadow figure who ressembles Dr. Araide turning into Vermouth. While in the manga there is only a panel of her thinking about Vermouth.

== Remastered version ==
On May 25 and on June 1, 2013, a remastered version of the case was aired.

== Trivia ==
* When Haibara had that memory of Conan giving her his glasses in order to disguise herself, it was in reference to [[Reunion with the Black Organization]], although the deceased [[Pisco]] did recognize her anyway.
* The bus backflash was from [[The Mysterious Passenger]].
* When Ran was making egg porridge for Haibara, and admitted, "It isn't as good as Tarugatei's though", she is referring to the famous restaurant in the Department store in [[The Four Porsches]], where Conan and Agasa were in line, but after a TV reporter interviewed Conan on LIVE TV, they had to quickly leave, before ordering any for them or for Haibara, which was the goal.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The hospital calls and informs them that Kaoru's surgery went well. Meanwhile, Conan confronts the culprit, '''Yuki Takeno''', Yuki used her sharp filed nail as a weapon and used a fake nail to cover it. The evidence is the kissmark on the whiteboard that has Kaoru's blood on it due to Yuki's discovery that Kaoru has no nail cutter so she used her teeth and Kaoru's blood got on Yuki's lips. Her motive is that she has crush on Kenzaki and she thought that the fake engagement was just Kaoru playing prank on her emotion. She attempted to commit suicide to pay for her crime of trying to kill Kaoru with hypoglycemic drug, but Conan saved her life using sugar sticks. When Yuki woke up in the hospital Kaoru said that she testified wrongly to cover for Yuki and felt sorry that she wasn't aware of Yuki's crush on Kenzaki. Kaoru revealed that the rumor of the engagement was to get her manager to have enough courage to confess her and later they become engaged (Kaoru wants to get married at age 20 like [[Yukiko Kudo]]). It is later revealed that Terumi has idolized Shinichi.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* As episode 249 ends with Terumi bringing up how Megure needs to still find the murder weapon to deduce the suspect, Conan wonders what feeling he's getting off of her.
* The anime cuts out the scene where Ran and Yoko asks Yuki about Kaoru's status.

== Trivia ==
* In this case, Kogoro is wearing the Yoko headband that Masayo Aoshima was wearing in [[The Locked Bathroom Murder Case]].
* Although Terumi Hoshino appeared on a poster in The Locked Bathroom Murder Case, this is the first time with her having a speaking role.
* Kogoro told Conan that these four female idols are referred to as the four 'Earth Ladies', since:
** Kaoru Kusano represent the fields, Kusa meaning grass (草);
** Yuki Takeno represents the glaciers at the top of the mountains, Take meaning peak (岳);
** Terumi Hoshino represents the stars in the sky, Hoshi meaning star (星);
** Yoko Okino represents the water and oceans, Oki meaning the high seas (沖).

==== The Case ====
Conan, Heiji, Kogoro, Ran, and Kazuha visit the solitary Isle of Mermaids, in the high seas off Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture, looking for Saori Kadowaki, who had sent a letter to Heiji asking them to save her from being killed by a mermaid. In secret Heiji confines to Conan that the letter was meant for Shinichi despite being send to Heiji's address. But when they try to look for Saori she has been reported missing. They decided to talk with Saori's childhood friend Kimie, who is the elder's great-granddaughter. Rokuro Fukuyama the fisherman is Toshimi's fiancé. Those two along with Naoko, a shop clerk, are also childhood friends with Saori. They don't seem concerned over Saori's disappearance, but that's because Saori often left home, when she had argued with her father. Every year on this island a festival is held where three people win the Dugong Arrow that is said to wield immortality to its carrier. Saori won one last year, but have lost it and had since been paranoid about being curse by mermaids up until her disappearance. Kimie offer Ran and Kazuha each a ticket to the lottery, since a couple called off, and promise to take them to Saori's house after the festival. During the festival Kazuha wins an arrow, which she receives along with Naoko and Saori's father Benzo. The festival is brought to a disastrous end when one of the winners is found dead hanging down the waterfall.

| description = Toward the end of the festival, one of the supposed winner, Toshimi, was found hanged over the waterfall like the mermaid of the legend. It could either be accident, suicide or murder. It's not certain why she would be the forest, but it's guessed that she was looking for a hidden grave, where an unidentified woman is buried.
}}

==== The Deduction ====
Conan and Heiji investigate the area and history of Mermaids Grave, a forest on mermaid island. They learn that an elder who is over 130 years old is a holder of the arrow and the head of the festival. Three years ago a warehouse got burned down and a half body was discovered missing its legs. The police from the coast said that the body was of a middle age woman, and concluded that it might have been a tourist, who snuck into the warehouse to look for a dugong arrow and accidently started the fire. The deceased was never identified. But rumors had been going around that it was a body of a mermaid. The year after the incident, the bones were buried on the island, but later moved into the forest on orders from the Elder due to grave robbers who had stolen bones from the grave. In myth it was believed that bones of a mermaid grant long life. It was that incident that made the Elder famous around the country. Naoko suggest that Toshimi had been looking for the grave, and Kimie confirms that Toshimi often spoke of it. While investigating two more murders occur. First Naoko being strangled and her arrow is missing. The only connection between the three women, beside being childhood friends, is that they all three believed in the power of the arrow, and that the Elder was immortal. Heiji and Conan decides to take a look at the book with the names and numbers for those who anticipated in the festival's lottery, but the most recent one is missing. While Kimie goes out to search for it. Heiji and Conan takes a look at the old ones. Conan finds a name, Shiho Miyano, and remembers that it was Haibara's real name, but doubts that's her. Then Kimie gets burned in the warehouse near the shrine. After the corpse's identity is determent by dental records, Rokuro breaks down crying and the 'Elder' takes to her bed muttering about seeing young life dying, while she still lives. The group splits up, Heiji and Kazuha goes out searching for Benzo, while Rokuro takes the rest to Saori's house, so Ran can see a picture of Saori and determent if she was the woman, she and Kazuha saw. After searching a bag for travel in the house Conan realizes that something is missing. He reveals to Heiji he knows who the murderer is, relay his theory, and asks him to meet up later, but later Heiji and Kazuha fall off a cliff after they discovered the much-talked-about grave. At the grave Heiji sees that someone has visited it recently and begins to wonder if Conan's solution was correct.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence and clues ====
* Benzo sold an arrow to a couple for one million yen.
* Rokuro doesn't have feelings for Toshimi but for Kimie.
* A swimming ring is found at the end of the Mermaid Falls.
* On Naoko's body are several fish scales and her arrow is nowhere to be found.
* The only thing that was able to identify that the burned body as Kimie is her dental record from three days ago, the same day that Saori disappeared.
* The notebook that shows the festival’s participant numbers was stolen by someone.
* Saori's "something" is nowhere to be found.
* Saori and Kimie both got awards for best director and makeup artist respectively.
* Heiji and Kazuha found the mermaid's grave on the mountain but the two of them fell off the cliff.

==== Conclusion ====
* Benzo was caught, but his only crime is that he stole the arrow from his daughter. He found Toshimi's number from the end of Mermaid Falls and the reason that he stole the notebook is because he didn't want the police to think he killed Toshimi for her number. Also, Naoko doesn't trust him so there is no way for him to call her to the fishing net and that his target doesn't have to be Naoko, it could be Kazuha if he just wanted to steal the arrow.
* Despite having motive for killing Toshimi, Rokuro has no motive at all to murder Kimie. Also he doesn't need a swimming ring to murder her.

==== Motive ====
Conan reveals that the murderer is '''Mikoto Shimabukuro'''. He then reveals the rumor of Mikoto being 130-years-old is a lie and that the "Elder" is just a fictional identity assumed by the Shimabukuro lineage to continue the tradition of the Dugong Arrow festival. The elder's true identity is '''Kimie Shimabukuro''', the only one capable of pulling off a disguise as she used to work as a cosmetic artist. She was able to move around at such a restricted height by attaching roller blade wheel guards to her calves.

Kimie's mother who was the previous "Elder" has moved in the same way and only half of her corpse was found because the bones of her lower body easily destroyed because she had died with her legs bound to shorten her height. She had used the accident on the sea, where her husband, Kimie's father, died, to make her 'death' official and to become the Elder full time.

Kimie then faked her death and the burnt corpse they found in the warehouse was actually Saori Kadowaki, who was already murdered a long time ago. Kimie fooled the authorities by tampering with Saori's denture records. Saori was the one who was treated by the dentist, but on way to the mainland, Kimie stole Saori health card; With it lost, Saori had no other choice than to borrow Kimie's card and be treated in Kimie's name. The scene where Kimie's voice was heard in front of the elder was just a tape recording she played in advance. She killed Ebihara by chloroforming her and placing her on a dinghy with her neck tied to a shore rock with a rope. The current would drive Ebihara off the falls and effectively hang her. Kimie established an alibi for Naoko's murder by disguising herself as the missing Saori Kadowaki, not long after they returned to the island after having gone to the dentist.

Kimie's motive for the murders was revenge. When Saori, Naoko, and Toshimi failed to win the Dugong Arrow lottery when her mother assumed the "Elder" title, they got drunk and burned her alive in one of the warehouses to see if the Elder was truly immortal.

When the women saw the Elder appearing unharmed (which was Kimie who took over the role), they became convinced that the Elder was immortal and her body was that of a mermaid, who she had supposedly ate flesh of. The reason Kimie didn't came forward after the fire and reveal who the body was, was because her mother's last wish had been that the existence of the 'Elder' should continue for the island.

Kimie herself discovered her mother's killers when Saori suffered a psychotic breakdown during a conversation between the two of them. In the middle of her sanity slippage, Saori asked Kimie for either a new arrow or the location of the 'mermaid's' grave, revealing that she had known that the 'Elder' had been inside the warehouse when it caught fire, and unknowingly insulting the dead Mrs. Shimabukuro. And since Naoko and Toshimi too were convinced of the Elder's power and that the body was of a mermaid, Kimie guessed that they too had been involved. After killing Saori, Kimie lured Naoko and Toshimi out, telling them that if they won an arrow at the festival, she would tell them the location of the grave.

Kimie continued the "Elder" tradition for her mother, but Heiji wounded but alive reveals that all the middle aged denizens of the isle knew her secret and that the half demolished mermaid corpse was her mother. After the fire they had considered ending the festival, but when they realized that Kimie was going to continue the myth of the Elder, they decided to support her from behind, as it was their duty. So all the town people bowed their heads and apologized for not telling her sooner.

Kimie cries due to her guilt ask why they did not tell her anything. Heiji states that she should have awoken from a nightmare to an extended life, he stated that life is short, will be appreciated, and to live their life to fullest. He asks an unconscious Kazuha if he is right.

The next morning, Kimie was taken away by the police and local residents came to say goodbye to her. As the large waves stop the police boat from leaving, Conan noted that it was as if the sea were trying to prevent her from leaving and that Kimie, who became the "Elder" three years ago, supported the island until the final night afterward.

Ran asks Heiji to show her the stab wound that Kazuha placed with love causing Kazuha to be embarrassed. Heiji told Ran that it healed and was already gone. When Kazuha checked, she said she should have made the wound much deeper if she had known that he would’ve recover that quickly but does not care about it since the arrow had gotten people killed and was not worried. Heiji in his thoughts stated that she was naive and he would never let her get hurt in which Conan noticed that Heiji's injury was on his other hand.

==== Aftermath ====
Heiji realized that the crying woman from his phone call to Saori was Kimie. She most likely had just killed Saori and was pretending to be her.

It turns out that it was Yukiko and Takayoshi from the murdered diplomat case who recommended Shinichi to Saori. Yukiko grew up on the island, and had been Saori's neighbor. The reason that Saori send her letter to Shinichi to Heiji's address was probably because Yukiko told Saori that the two detectives know each other. Saori might have hoped that Heiji would pass on the letter to Shinichi.

From the couple they also learn that the cuisine on the island is legendary, and conclude that the island has a chance to survive the tragedy.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
* In the manga when Kimie is removing her mask, she takes it off easily unlike in the anime where she removed the mask slowly for dramatic effect.

== Remastered version ==
On November 5, 2007, a remastered version of the case was aired. All three episodes were heavily edited and combined into one hour long special, and scenes were edited out to fit the timeslot. This was called a "Fall Mystery Version" of the episodes.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Later that night, they discover a letter signed by Miyuki confessing to the crime and is at the abandoned cabin. Conan and Heiji head there and discover the cabin covered in gasoline and the demon dog running towards it. Conan catches the demon dog revealing the fire effect was created by imitation fire clothing with remote controlled lights. The flaming dog-prints were caused by modified lighters placed on the ground and tied to a wire with a hoop at the end. The dog had a mesh-enclosed charcoal tied to its tail, and when passing over the lighters, ignited them. When the dog retrieved the hoop, the lighter came with it, explaining how the lighters were not found after creating the dog-prints. Heiji points out '''Tomoaki Inubushi''' as the culprit, evidenced by the demon dog recognizing him as his master, and Satomi's prayer beads. The beads indicated the fourth of the eight virtues which is found in Tomoaki's name. Satomi wanted Tomoaki to be the first to see the message and turn himself in. The onion that was placed at that time meant to misrepresent the odor Kazuha smelled. Also, the letter Miyuki sent saying she'd atone for her crimes was another one of Tomoaki's plans to put her up as the culprit. Tomoaki called Miyuki so they could for something near the cabin say, for Satomi's medicine that Tomoaki supposedly dropped when he was attacked by the dog. He planned to make her die along with the dog so it would hence the culprit killed herself and he drugged her and put her asleep in the cabin. To avoid her to die, Heiji and Conan, who were watching him from the cabin, moved her to a safer location. They tell Tomoaki that dogs never forget their masters and the reason Hatchi barked at him was because he smelled like his dog. As Tomoaki is taken into custody, he bursts into tears and reveals he wanted to increase his inheritance in order to maintain the Inubushi household for Satomi whom he loved more than his own mother.

==== Part 1 ====
Ran, Sonoko, and Conan are on the bus ride to Haido Hotel. Sonoko felt like that someone touched her butt. She caught the guy in the blue hat and accuses him that he's the pervert. The guy in the blue hat tells Sonoko that he's not a pervert but Sonoko thinks he's lying. So she told Ran to beat him up. Ran does as she says so she kicks but the guy in the blue hat blocks Ran's kick with his leg. He punches and Ran dodges. He kicks and Ran dodges again. Ran realizes that her opponent is using Jeet Kune Do. The guy in the blue hat is trying to explain that he's not a pervert but Conan explain for him instead. Conan saw that the real pervert was about to touch Sonoko's butt and the guy in the blue hat stopped the pervert. Sonoko got really mad at the real pervert. When the bus stops, the pervert got out quickly and runs away. Ran apologizes to the guy in the blue hat and he says it's okay. He asks where Ran is going and she told him that she and her friends are going to the Haido Hotel. The guy in the blue hat is going there too. He also thank Conan for explaining his innocence that he's not a pervert.

When they arrived at the hotel, the guy in the blue hat is making a reservation but it seems he's having problems. Conan wants to eat cake so Ran, Sonoko, and Conan are going to look for a place to eat cake at the second floor of the hotel. When they're about to take the elevator, the woman named Toshiko Hirukawa came out of the elevator. She asks Conan where he's going and Conan told Hirukawa that he's going to cake buffet at the second floor. Hirukawa told Conan that he can't use the elevator because she says it goes to the annex. Conan thought the annex was under the renovation. Ran apologizes to Hirukawa and she says it's okay. She suggest that they should help each other when in need. Hirukawa's friends found Hirukawa and she apologizes them for keeping them waiting. While Ran, Sonoko, and Conan left, the man mentions how the person is doing. Hirukawa explain that the person was drunk and keeps shouting curses as usual. She says that after she scolded the person severely, the person started crying. Hirukawa also says the person wants to apologize to everyone and admits his sins, so the person like them to go up to his room. After that, Hirukawa suggest for her friends to take a car ride and buy a recording device to record the person's repentance.

Ran, Sonoko, and Conan are at the entrance to the cake buffet in the first floor. The stairs full of people. Suddenly, they heard a big bang sound from the parking lot. Hirukawa and her friends found something terrible and screamed. Conan went to the parking lot to check what's going on. The man is found dead.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Toshiko Hirukawa'''. Hirukawa lied about the elevator usage to Conan. She reveals Hirukawa got Uesumi drunk, placed him on the wheelchair, and used a system of strings connected to the elevator to throw him out the window. However, re-acting the scene fails, until Conan voices his deductions over the phone as Shinichi revealing the paint cans were placed infront of the window to tilt the wheelchair. Hirukawa confesses and reveals her father begged Uesumi to apologize for scamming her mother but was refused. Afterwards, her father committed suicide after her mother died from shock. In the aftermath, Uesumi's hidden bank account was found and the transcations to it allowed the police to apprehend the scam group. Sera later enrolls into Ran and Sonoko's classroom. Sera is actually a girl.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan realizes that the culprit must've interfered with the rigor mortis and finds the evidence to convict the culprit. The culprit is '''Minoru Kijima''', who was romantically involved with the victim. After confessing to his girlfriend's murder, Minoru posthumously revealed Umeda as a villainous blackmailer. As a result of their relationship, Umeda gave Minoru benefits regarding their work, a gesture Minoru was happy with. But when Minoru began trying to pursue another relationship, the evil Umeda threatened to destroy her boyfriend's career if he broke up with her, driving Minoru to kill Umeda to escape her stranglehold.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* When Kogoro mentioned that five years ago, you could find a pay phone almost everywhere, and now, they are almost impossible to find. This is interesting, due to five years ago, Conan used the pay phone more than a regular phone, when not using the [[Earring Cellphone]], and at this time, he is using cellphones practically all the time, and no longer uses the earring cellphone.

=== Situation ===
==== The Seal ====
Professor Agasa, Haibara, Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta went camping. While they're camping, they find a lantern in a pond with some writing inside. They show the stone lantern to Conan who determines that it is a code to finding a large diamond. The lantern is also hiding another secret, a dead body at the bottom of the pond.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = EP394-396 Case.jpg
| location = Pond near Eccentric Mansion
| victim = Teruhisa Tamai
| age = 42 years old
| cause-death = Strangulation
| suspects = Unzo Suto, Sarina Akutsu, and Eri Senju
| description =
}}

After searching the body they find out that he was a treasure hunter who was strangled to death by another person looking for the treasure. They also find a tear-shaped stone with the kanji "inflammation" written on it and a notebook. The notebook suggests that he was murdered by his partner and that Kaitou Kid is also seeking the treasure. Professor Agasa goes back to camp to call the police.

==== The Mechanism ====
Conan, Haibara, and the kids decide to enter the house, which belonged to Kichiemon, a puppet maker and architect of the riddle. The house is filled with all kinds of booby-traps, which Genta almost falls victim to until another treasure hunter saves him from a pit of spikes. As they continue to search the house, they meet another treasure hunter and end up falling down a trap door into the basement. Luckily they are saved by Conan's supersized soccer ball. In the basement they find Kichiemon's grave, a bunch of human remains, and an old lady. The first treasure hunter reveals grudgingly that he found the mirror artifact, and Conan reveals the tear-shaped stone. They continue looking for the sword, which is the last piece of the puzzle.

==== The Resolution ====
The old lady nearly gets chopped up by four swinging blades when she steps on a trap. Conan realizes that if one stands in the right spot the blades will not harm you and that one of the blades actually has a handle allowing him to swing over towards the sword. The sword contains the last clue, which leads everyone back to the pond.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Mitsuhiko accidentally discovers that the diamond is at the bottom of the pond. The first treasure hunter dives in after it while the second ('''Sarina Akutsu''') pulls a gun planning to kill everyone and take the diamond for herself. She is the culprit of murdering Teruhisa Tamai. Conan is able to tranquilizer her, but when the treasure hunter comes back up with the diamond the spring starts to pour into the pond causing a massive flood. The only way to stop the flood is to put the diamond back. The old lady turns out to be Kaitou Kid who knew all along that the diamond was unable to be stolen, and Conan allows him to escape on his hang-glider.</spoiler>

== Remastered version ==
A remastered version of the entire case was aired over the span of April 3, 10, and 17, 2010. Instead of editing the episodes and combining them into an hour, all three standalone episodes were remastered.

== Trivia ==
* Before this case, Conan has been seen with either a black or grey cellphone. However, he now has a bright red one.
* [[Wikipedia: Magatama|Magatama Stones]] are curved, comma-shaped beads that appeared in prehistoric Japan.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
The Detective Boys are hiking on a trip to find stag beetles on a mountain forest. There Conan receives a photo of Ran in a swimsuit from Sonoko. Later Conan receives a phone call from Ran and Sonoko who tells "Shinichi" that a burglar tried to steal Sonoko's bag. Since it relates to a murder, Conan investigates the picture sent by Sonoko to learn about the dying message. While at it, he helps the Detective Boys solve one of Agasa's code.

{{People|Yanuma|Yanuma.jpg|

{{People|Bito|Bito.jpg|
* Miyama's co-worker}}
{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Later Conan solves both codes and finds out that Ran and Sonoko are riding with the murderer ('''Kano'''). The message on the window was misread, as the victim wrote it while lying down and Sonoko saw it in reverse. He was the one who stole Sonoko's phone because of the picture. The message that Conan got was an attempt to track him down and get rid of the picture that Sonoko had sent him. Ran's phone rans out of battery, so to warn the girls Conan calls Sonoko's phone, expecting that the killer left it on waiting for Shinichi to contact him.

{{InfoBox Crime

}}

The culprit demands to know of Shinichi's whereabouts and tries to kill them but Ran knocks (front kick to the face) him out with her karate and causes Kano's car to crash into a tree. Later, Conan's picture of Ran is deleted by Haibara and the Detective Boys say that they asked Haibara to do it and that he should not have access to those kind of materials.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Kano's vehicle is a Garnet Red Pearl 2003 Subaru Legacy B4 2.0 GT [BL].
* The anime included a joke episode title card "There was it, a murder case" when Sonoko explain her deduction to Shinichi.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
The [[Detective Boys]] are at [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house when they happen to find a postcard from Agasa's first love. In the postcard, she promises to meet every decade but they were unable to because Agasa could not solve the code from the postcard. The Detective Boys set out to solve it and find the "memorable place". The clues lead them to the zoo where Agasa sees a brown hair woman.

==== Part 2 ====
The woman turns out to be another classmate, previously a male but now a female. After [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] re-examines the hint, he realizes that they refer to animal noises in English.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan solved the riddle, revealing that the numbers corresponded to the number of letters in the English onomatopoetic sounds various animals make. 4163 was a rooster's "cock-a-doodle-doo". 33 was a dog's "bow-wow". 6 was a hamster's "squeak", and 0 meant no animal sounds could be heard. They in turn referred to the corresponding places where each could be found, which when put together made the phrase "under Teitan Elementary's Ginkgo trees" (in Japanese).

After finding her, she leaves pretending not to know Agasa, believing the Detective Boys were his grandchildren and that she was intruding his happy family. Agasa reveals he knows it is her as she drives away, which cause her to blush and ask Billy to bring her back here again next ten years. Billy smiles and replied that he think that it would be shorter than that.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Billy and Fusae's car is a white Jaguar Mk.II, and the license plate is 11-24.
* Billy is voiced by [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiyoshi_Kobayashi Kiyoshi Kobayashi], most known for voicing [[Daisuke Jigen]]. Jigen goes onto appear in a [[crossover]] [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan|special]] and [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie|movie]].

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
A famous magician hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] to keep watch on his staff members, as he believes one of them may be out to kill him. For his first act, he lies on a bed of spikes, and is slammed with another, which has Kogoro and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] worried until he's revealed to be alive. The next trick does not go so well, and he ends up trapped in a water tank where the entrance has been sealed. By the time it's open and he's rescued, it's too late, and one of his workers is responsible.

| description = In the water tank escape show, Fuyuki prepares to escape from the tank, but drowns after he fails to open the upper part of the cage.
}}

==== Part 2 ====
Conan fishes around for clues in hopes of finding the true culprit. After gaining info, he learns who's behind the trick, and exposes the true mastermind behind the death of the magician.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>After the investigation, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and declares '''Shingo Shoji''' to be the culprit and reveals that when the curtains were lifted, he got on top of the water tank and placed the pins in it again so Fuyuki would be unable to escape and also reveals he did not escape from above, he left from below by waiting behind the water tank and then escaped when the curtains got lifted again.

Then, he got back to his normal place that's why they did not see anything strange on the video. Shoji did not use a pin, instead it was a trick ring, he got the ring and put around in one of the hinges and then he got the other ring in the hole and then he closed it. The ring he used is the ring on his left hand and the ring easily detaches so that he can attach the two parts on their opposite sides and which can then be closed. After that he distracted the others by letting Kogoro do the first aid and he got his ring back before someone noticed it.

Shoji confesses and reveals he did it while watching Fuyuki, knowing that it is his last time showing off his magic which angers Kazuma who is stopped by Megure before he can attack Shoji. Megure then tells him that he has sullied the name of magic by turning something fun into crime.</spoiler>

Heiji and Kogoro are invited to Okinawa to solve the case of a body that was found on {{nihongo|3=Onikame|2=鬼亀|4=lit. Demon Turtle}} island alongside a mysterious carved message by the body.

The deduction battle between the two shall be televised in order to boast the declining tourism of Okinawa. Heiji, Conan, Ran, and Kazuha head to the island to investigate and are accompanied by four TV station employees. They find the mysterious message as "The sleeping place of a princess shall be Kō and not Otu" where Kō and Otu could stand for multiple meanings. When Yoshie Taira is found strangled from rope, the dying message "I am a Servitor of Goosoh", Heiji realises she must have found something and dives into the water only to find an anchor.

}}

When they prepare to head back, they find out the captain left with the boat, stranding them on the Onikame. They decide to wait in an abandoned house until a rescue boat arrives.

==== The Investigation ====
Heiji tells them the Anchor he found was approximately four to five years old, the same time period on which the strange events have been occurring on Onikame. It began with the mayor's daughter, Miyako Kenshiro, who was kidnapped and a year after that, burglars broke into the mayor's house stealing his byōbu and murdering a maid. The burglars had been the same people who were responsible for the kidnapping. In both incidents the mayor refused to pay ransom, and Miss Miyako and the byōbu are still missing today. They decide to search the house in case the culprit was hiding in one of the rooms and come upon evidence that Miyako lived in the house when she was young. After finding the house secure, they await for a boat. In the middle of the night, a boat crashes onto the pier. They investigate and find out it was their boat from before and that the captain was beaten to death.

}}

They find out the boat was set on autopilot and realize that the culprit of the murders is actually one of the four TV staff members with them.

==== The Resolution ====
When Conan and Heiji find the name "Kaa" and "Chi" written by Miyako many years ago, they realize who the names are referring to. Conan and Heiji have an epiphany and realize the culprit faked Taira's time of death. Heiji then calls Yoshitsuga Kume, one of the staff members, so they could talk privately.

Heiji reveals that Taira actually died much later. He reveals that the message written in sand was actually in a place the waves never reached. He reveals that the water, creating the idea that the message would be washed away when the tides raised, was from the boat which was searching around the island. Heiji reveals the man who was found dead on the island was part of the robber who invaded the mayor's house and the dying message refers to the treasure and Kō and Otsu refer to the folklore Urashima Tarō where Kō stands for the turtle while Otu stands for princess. The princess the inscription refers to is the stolen byōbu. Heiji also reveals Taira was actually Miyako Kaneshiro in disguise. Daito confesses to the murder revealing that the maid the robbers murdered was his fiance, nicknamed "Kaa-chan" by Miyako because her surname was from Matsumoto Castle, the famous Japanese black place known as "Crow Castle". Daito also revealed that Miyako was testing her father's love for her who was revealed to be her step-father, and when she faked the kidnapping and her father refused to pay the ransom, stole the byōbu in vengeance. When Daito left his job, the mayor asked him to not dive into the matter and blames himself for the incidents. Daito accepts that the mayor might have been right about that this case was a box that never should have been open.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* In the manga, Kazuha's belief that Kogoro would launch a rescue mission to get everybody off the island was followed with Heiji and Conan voicing their disbelief, then finished with a cut to Kogoro having dinner with Hyogo Kaneshiro. In the anime, Heiji and Conan's response was switched after the cut made to Kogoro.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan reveals the culprit to be '''Kyosuke Haga''' who murdered both Genzaburo and Ayane at that day. He murdered Genzaburo by starting the fire using a cigarette, and it was revealed that the door was not locked and Kyosuke pretends that it is locked when he tries to open the door. Kyosuke locked the door stealthily while Conan and the others are focused to the fire inside Genzaburo's room. The evidence was found at the lock plate, as only the top part is bent, meaning when the group tries to broke into the room it wasn't locked.

He murdered Ayane by switching the real and fake Stradivarius. When Ayane breaks the fake violin, she heard the music Kyosuke played downstairs. Kyosuke has reserved a violin that is hanged on the window using Genzaburo's command stick that is sticked to the window causing Ayane to think it is the real Stradivarius. She merely wants to grab it, but she fails and fell from the window resulting in her death. The evidence can be found as near Ayane's body, there are the bridge from the violin, and a part of the command's stick. It was also revealed that Kyosuke saved Ayane out of the fire because he doesn't want Genzaburo and Ayane die together in the fire.

Kyosuke reveals that the Stradivarius was originally from his branch of the family. One day, Kyosuke's father was asked by his brother, Choichiro, to borrow the Stradivarius. He then attempts to to send back a replica to Kyosuke's father, but was found out. In an argument, Kyosuke's father falls down the stairs. Choichiro orders his family to not call the ambulance and to staged it as robbery. He even went as far to murder Chinami to silence her. This is the cause of Kyosuke's father's death. Kyosuke know all the truth from Emi two years ago shortly before her accident. Kyosuke then decided to take his revenge and killed Furuto the year after. When it was clear that Choichiro didn't have long to live, he decided to hurry up the killings. But he wanted Hasuki to own the Stradivarus as a gift to one who like himself lost a father. As Kyosuke is taken away, he is a composer who has the perfect pitch so Conan asks him the tune of a song from the cellphone numbers and finds out the [[The Boss|boss]] of the [[Black Organization]]'s number is the song "[[Nanatsu no Ko]]".</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* In the manga, Emi's fall upturned but in the anime, she falls in reverse position.
* In the manga, Kyosuke only mentioned Aunt Emi dying the way his father did. While in the anime, it's shown she fell down the stairs when she ran out of the room after revealing what happened 30 years ago to Kyosuke.
* Kogoro's vehicle is an Airstream 2002 Nissan Elgrand.
* The Opera song played by Kyosuke Haga is said to be [[Wikipedia: Requiem (Mozart)|Mozart - Requiem in D minor, K. 626]], but it is not.
* Although Megure has called Kogoro the "God of Death" multiple times in non-canon, and even once in canon, such as in [[The Sullied Masked Hero]] case, this is the first time for him to flat-out call him "Harbinger of Death" to Kogoro's face. Even in The Sullied Masked Hero, it was more of a mumble, and not actually talking to Kogoro at the time. In this case, while talking with Kogoro, he actually called him "Harbinger of Death."
* At the beginning of the case, Conan told Agasa about the area code of Tottori, 0858 may be the first four digits of the Boss's e-mail address, since he heard these 4 digits being dialed in [[A Course Without Protest]], [[A Code of Stars and Tobacco]], and from Vermouth off-screen in [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night]], and she added the word "Boss," when she hit send.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Kogoro has won another contest and so he, Ran, and Conan go on vacation on the Kanmon Strait, which goes from Yamaguchi Prefecture and meets up in the middle with Fukuoka Prefecture. Four friends recognize him as that famous detective by the name of Eiko Nojima, Akane Isaka, Keisuke Otsubo, and Touru Akitaya. The friends had reunited after twelve years for anniversary of the death of their fifth friend, Hondo, as well as for the engagement of Akane and Otsubo.

After a minor fight with a rude man by the name of Seiji Hario, whom they have met before during their travel. Eiko excuses herself and leaves the group, at which point, Akane explains that Eiko was a girlfriend of Hondo and still remains single because she couldn't forget him. Akitaya also leaves as well which Ran senses something but chooses not to say.

The trio has dinner with them which is interrupted again by Hario, who is trying to buy Akitaya's businesses, but he refuse to sell. Hario quickly leaves afterward but not before insulting the late Hondo and knocking away Otsubo.

The next day, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan plan to visit the famous [[Wikipedia: Mōri Motonari|Mōri Motonari]], claimed by Kogoro to be one of the Mouri family's ancestors. However, they're soon caught up in a murder at Kanmonkyo Bridge.

{{InfoBox Crime

| victim = Seiji Hario
| age = 30 years old
| cause-death = Blunt force trauma
| suspects = Eiko Nojima, Akane Isaka, Keisuke Otsubo, and Touru Akitaya
| description = On the way to visit the late daimyo and their ancestor (Motonari), Kogoro, Ran, and Conan stumble on the murder of Seiji Hario that the police are investigating. The suspicion quickly falls on the four friends who all have motive to murder him. However, everyone has an airtight alibi. Is the murderer the work of an outsider?
}}

Kogoro immediately suspects the four friends, all of whom had motives. However, when he questions them, all of them have solid alibis during the murder time, forcing the police to release them. However, something tips Conan off when he notices that Eiko wears eyeglasses when driving.

==== Part 2 ====
With some investigation by the police and Kogoro, Conan begins and investigation of his own. He discovers that the friends took advantage of Eiko's poor eyesight, so that one of them could commit the murder. It is then revealed that thirteen years ago that man caused their fifth friend to commit suicide.

After some talk with Ran, Eiko turns herself to the police and confesses that she murdered Hario because he refused to apologize to the late Hondo. Kogoro doesn't trust her and deduces that she is trying to cover for the true murderers.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan stuns Kogoro and declares '''Touru Akitaya''' as the culprit. Kogoro says when Nojima hit Hario he was just unconscious but when she left he was killed by Hario who used the same rock that Nojima used. The evidence that Hario was attacked twice is that there's too much dirt on his hand and fingernail.

Akitaya confesses and reveals he was being forced to give his company to Hario and not want to yield to him, he decided to kill him. Ran then asked him if that is the only reason for him committing murder. Ran then said that she knows Akitaya wants to protect Nojima for being accused by Hario for their friendship and for love that he never confessed to her due to the fact that she still loved Hondo.</spoiler>

Just as they're talking about it. Mr.Shinmei's daughter [[List of notable case characters#Friends and acquaintances|Kaori]] came to the detective agency and hires Kogoro to find her father and mother. Despite the fact Mr. Shinmei has been sending his manuscript of the new ''Detective Samonji'' series via fax to the publisher every weeks, they've have been missing for two months.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>As it turns out. There never was a crime in the first place. Mr. Shinmei was living in Haido City Hotel with his wife and his personal physician the whole time. The whole deal was his last mystery. A set up to see if anyone can come to him and solve it before he says the answer, as his last wish before death. Unfortunately, Mr. Shinmei has passed away just moment after the latest chapter was sent due to terminal cancer. Leaving his last wish unfulfilled.

==== Aftermath ====
Though saddened by her father's passing, Kaori vows to not let Detective Samonji die along with him and continues the series under her name, which becomes a great success. She also adds three new characters to the series serving as Samonji's assistants: a scatterbrained detective based on Kogoro, an energetic schoolgirl based on Ran, and a showy boy based on Conan, much to Conan's chagrin.</spoiler>
