== Case ==
=== 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.

==== 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.

<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>

However, Conan tells Bungo Tatei to follow him, and shows him Joji Narukawa at the site where the car accident took place. A small memorial was made for his girlfriend, there Narukawa is shown placing the tickets he received from Bungo next to the memorial.

Seeing this Bungo realizes that he had nearly made a terrible mistake and understands that the accident was just that and nothing more.</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.

=== 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.

}}

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]].

=== 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>

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

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
A seven year old movie star by the name of Kazuki Kinukawa comes to the Mouri Detective Agency to try and find his mother who abandoned him at a church. His reasons are to tell his mother he will not give her any money now that he is famous. Conan is able to deduce Kazuki's mother is a hotel employee in Atami due to the old dirty postcards she sent him. Kazuki reveals that he remembered that his mother had a beauty mark near her breast. The trio and Kazuki travels to Atami to track down the hotel. They manage to find the hotel that sells the postcards and an employee there comfirms that the leftovers get divided between them. However they don't have one named Atsuko working here, but Kazuki's mother might have use another name. A freelance writer named Yasuhiro Kamoshita checks into the hotel as he plans to find Kazuki's mother and interview her to confirm whether Kazuki's father was truly a murderer. Later that day, Kamoshita is strangled to death but managed to take a picture on his cellphone during the attack.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = EP354-355 Case1.jpg
| location = Japanese-style inn in Atami
| victim = Yasuhiro Kamoshita
| age = 37 years old
| time = Around 11:48 PM
| cause-death = Strangulation and blunt force trauma
| suspects = Mitsu Kusano, Toshiko Bessho, and Tomoka Saegusa
| description = Yasuhiro was first bludgeoned with a shower head before he was strangled with a kite-string-like thread.
| footnotes =
}}

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.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Blackmail-Extortion
| image = EP354-355 Case2.jpg
| amount of money = ¥20 million
| suspects = Atsuko
| 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.
| footnotes =
}}

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]].

=== 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>

| 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.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Kidnapping (Extortion)

| location = Four-story building scheduled for demolition
| victim = Unknown old man, [[Conan Edogawa]], and [[Ai Haibara]]
| victim-label = Hostage
| cause-death =
| suspects = Two fake demolition workers
| 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...

{{EndBox}}

=== 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.

| 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.

}}

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.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = EP390-391 Case.jpg
| location = Apartment
| victim = Hirotoshi Nakamoto
| age = 27 years old
| time = 7:00-7:30 AM
| cause-death = Stab wound on stomach
| suspects = Akira Kato
| description =
}}

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.

==== Part 2 ====

=== People ===

{{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.

=== 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.

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.

* [[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>

==== 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.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Kogoro Mouri gets an invitation for an engagement party from his favorite idol, Yoko Okino. Kaoru is the one who is getting engaged is another star and a former member of a group they all used to be in. She is a fan of Kogoro Mouri and wanted him to find out who was stalking her. Kaoru decides to take a bath. And the rest of the girl group decide to dress up and sing their old song to surprise her. Conan discovers blood leading to the door and they find her attacked. Bloody clothes are found outside which were made to make it seem like it was Kaoru's stalker but really is someone at the party.

{{EndBox}}

=== 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).

=== Situation ===
==== 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.

==== Will-o'-The-Wisp Chapter ====
Kogoro takes Ran, Kazuha, Conan, and Heiji to the Inubushi household where they are introduced to the family. They learn about the legend passed down in the Inubushi family where their ancestor set his dog on fire after mistakenly assuming the dog killed his daughter while in reality, the dog saved his daughter. The ancestor was then killed in a house fire and the myth of the Inubushi curse was passed down. Conan and Heiji decide to investigate the headstone of the supposed dog when they witness Saki Inubushi fall from a cliff. Saki claims an ablaze demon dog chased her and dies shortly after.

Ran and Kazuha feed the family dog and are confronted by the demon dog.

==== Footsteps Chapter ====
Ran and Kazuha retreat inside the house and discover the demon dog is gone. Conan and Heiji's investigation leads them to find conclusive evidence Saki's death was planned by the culprit. After hearing Ran and Kazuha's story, they realize the culprit is housing the inugami nearby and investigate an abandoned cabin. Inside the cabin yeilds evidence of a dog living there.

=== 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.

=== 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.

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.

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.

=== 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>

=== Situation ===
Kogoro and Conan are checking out costumes for Kogoro's one day of being a chief firemen. Later they meet people attending a costume party. While walking home, they find a police car in front of the house and meet the people from the costume shop earlier, realizing the host has been murdered.

=== 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.

{{EndBox}}

=== 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.

== Case ==
=== 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|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.

== Case ==
=== 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.

=== People ===

{{People|Billy|Billy.jpg|
* Fusae's step-father's friend}}
{{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]].

== Case ==
=== 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.

{{People|Billy|Billy.jpg|

{{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]].

==== 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.

==== 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.

{{EndBox}}

=== 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>

== Remastered version ==
A remastered version was aired on May 16, 2026 and May 23, 2026. During the TV broadcast of the 1st part, there is a running text reporting about the death of [[Wakana Yamazaki]], who voiced [[Ran Mouri]]. She passed away on April 18, 2026, and was officially announced on May 15, 2026.

=== Situation ===
==== The Murder ====
Conan visits the Southern Island with Kogoro, Ran, Heiji, and Kazuha, only to realise that yet another case was available for them to solve and this time, it was a case written on the beach.

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.

{{InfoBox Crime

}}

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.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = EP291-293b Case.jpg
| location = Onikame Island
| victim = Yoshie Taira
| age = 26 years old
| cause-death = Strangulation
| suspects = Masao Taketomi, Yoshitsugu Kume, Noburo Ikema, Mikihiko Daito, and Takashi Shimoji
| description = Taira is found dead by Conan and Heiji on the beachshore, having been strangled. A message is left next to the body.
}}

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.

{{InfoBox Crime

| description = Kazuha and Ran see a boat crashed into the pier. They saw the dead captain beaten and hanging on the crashed boat.
}}

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.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Later, Kume escapes and everyone splits up and searches for him on the island. Elsewhere, the culprit attempts to strangle Kume, but it is revealed to be Heiji wearing Kume's clothes. He reveals the culprit to be '''Mikihiko Daito'''.

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.

==== 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.

}}

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>

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
One evening, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] watch the latest episode of a drama based on the mystery novel series ''[[Detective Samonji]]'', written by Nintaro Shinmei. Ran then talk about how the novel is continuing after it ended ten years ago.

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. This cause Kogoro, Ran, and Conan to go the publisher's editorial office and investigate.

==== Part 2 ====
Due to the fact Mr. Shinmei's signature from chapter seven onward were copy of his. It was determined he and his wife is in danger. Heiji Hattori later calls in and explain how he deciphered the text in the first new chapter, and with this information Conan manages to solve the rest of the hidden riddles, but can him and the cops get to the place Mr. and Mrs. Shinmei live before it was too late?

=== 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>

She also has some suspects in mind: specifically, his three disciples and prospect successors.

As Ran carefully watches Conan decipher clues, she becomes more convinced he is Shinichi. Is there some way to reverse this discovery?

Conan helps Kogoro solve his case without even having to knock him out, but after wards Ran escorts him to Shinichi's house for a confession of him being Shinichi. But Ran shows strong intuition about his personality, and it makes Conan look wary for a no way out situation.

When Shinichi's mom appears on the scene, Conan is worried thinking that Yukiko might slip about his identity. However, she told Ran a complex but convincing story about why Conan's behavior is similar to Shinichi's, helping him escape suspicion. Ran thought for some time but finally apologized to Conan for treating him that way. They were about to go back but Yukiko requested Ran to let her keep Conan for a few days since she'll be living for a while in Japan all alone. Yukiko thereafter starts to treat Shinichi as a real baby and even carried him into their house, but why has she left America for Japan?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer was '''Mako Miyoshi''', whose real name was Mako Kinoshita. She was the younger sister of Yoshirou Kinoshita, a promising stage magician who drowned on-stage 14 years ago when he tried an escape trick that went horribly wrong, but said death actually was a murder committed by his mentor Tsukumo, who was jealous and fearful of Yoshirou's raw talent.

}}

When Yoshirou Kinoshita was 20, he became famous. Motoyasu tampered with Yoshirou's handcuffs, so that when he attempted to perform a water escape trick, he was unable to free himself and drowned. Young Mako Kinoshita, who just turned 7, had observed him tampering backstage, but she was too young to properly testify. The murder was ruled an accident. Mako studied magic so that she could become Motoyasu's understudy and get revenge for her brother. What Mako didn't know was that Motoyasu knew her true identity and that she intended to murder him. Because Motoyasu remained calmly once Mako had him tied up and poisoned, Mako threatened to kill Ayano so she could see a genuinely frightened emotion from him. Mako couldn't bring herself to murder Ayano in the end because Ayano was truly innocent, although Mako admits she wanted to more than once.</spoiler>

== Case 2: ==
=== Situation ===
Yukiko and Conan arrived in Gunma to meet her childhood friend, Hiromi Yabuuchi. After that, Hiromi introduces her uncle to Yukiko. Also, Hiromi's uncle has a friend named Carlos from Brazil. However, she has noticed some odd behaviors from her uncle, and since Yukiko also knows the old man from her and Hiromi's childhood times, Hiromi summoned her old friend to see if she can help.

With Yukiko calling Conan her second son to her friends outside the city, Conan must play along and act like he is a genius thanks to detective books. When a murder takes place and he can't figure out the answer, Conan must figure out if his mom will be safe or if she could be the next target.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Yoshifusa Yabuuchi''', who actually is only impersonating the real Yoshifusa Yabuuchi, who died in Brazil years ago and was a good friend of his. The fake Yoshifusa is named '''Hickson Tanaka''', a man born in Brazil to Japanese parents and Carlos' bodyguard, since young Carlos is the real Yoshifusa's son with a Brazilian woman as well as one of the heirs. Hickson Tanaka impersonated Yoshifusa, so the threats would be directed at him and made everyone believe Carlos was his bodyguard to protect him from the others (since they thought he was a bodyguard, they wouldn't attempt anything against Carlos), and he killed Machiko in self-defense when she attempted to stab him in the bath.

The person who set up the crossbow was '''Keiko Yabuuchi.''' She tried to scare Yoshifusa into going back to Brazil, because without him, her share of the inheritance would cover up her debts.

Machiko's aim in killing "Yoshifusa Yabuuchi" was to seize his supposed share of inheritance, not knowing that he wasn't the actual heir since up until then none of the potential heirs knew about the real Yoshifusa's death. (Yoshichika ''did'' know that his brother had died, but he didn't say anything about it save for signaling it in the tape that contained his until-then secret will.) She went to an urban party and gave a phone call to establish an alibi, then drove back in a car waiting for the opportunity to kill. She told Hiromi Yabuuchi in advance to rekindle the fire heating the rural hot-tub creating an opportunity where Yoshifusa could be isolated. She had the flower in her pocket with the intention to throw suspicious on her husband's former brother-in-law, who had accused the family of murdering his sister. Much to her misfortune, Hickson/Yoshifusa was a very skilled martial artist: when she tried to stab him in the bath, he blocked her attack and then redirected it, stabbing Machiko to death as a consequence.

The reason why he did come forward, was because he received two threatening letters. One from Machiko and one from Keiko. He couldn't leave Carlos alone until both threats were eliminated.

Some of these details are revealed by Shinichi/Conan's father Yusaku, who had followed Yukiko back to Japan and then snuck into the household. Conan himself helps by drugging up Inspector Yamamura and revealing the rest. HIckson accepts his part in Machiko's death and explains his role as Carlos's tutor and bodyguard, then surrenders quietly to the police.

After all is said and done, Yusaku properly reveals himself and goes to Yukiko. The ''other'' reason why she came alone was that they had a big fight in New York, and she shoots down several of his reconciliation attempts, much to Conan's embarrassment.</spoiler>

== Continuity ==
* This is the second case that show's Ran considering the possibility that Conan is really Shinichi (the first being [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]]), though she retains suspicion after the end of the case up until [[The Desperate Revival]].<ref>Yukiko notes at the end of the story that Ran's smile is a sign that she isn't completely unconvinced by her and Conan's charade, while Yusaku tells Conan not to underestimate her. The manga version of "The Desperate Revival ([[volume 26]], file 254), has Conan recalling their advice when he considers telling Ran everything.</ref>
*Ran identifies Kazumi Sanada as the magician hired to impersonate Kaitou Kid in episode 76 [[Conan vs. Kaitou Kid]], despite the fact she had already been knocked out and replaced by Kid during his introduction.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Nanae Tsukumo - Nina Tathers
:* Motoyasu Tsukumo - Carl Tathers
:* Yuji Momochi - Wymer Mindle
:* Mako Miyoshi (Real name: Mako Kinoshita) - Marvella Asundi (Real name: Marvella Plomthloyd)
:* Ayano Tsukumo - Anya Tathers
:* Yoshiro Kinoshita - Atrimus Plomthloyd
:* Hiromi Yabuuchi - Hiedi Xanderbilt

:* Hidekazu Yabuuchi - Herman MacBalm
:* Yoshiyuki Yabuuchi - Olaf Xanderbilt
:* Keiko Yabuuchi - Kari Xanderbilt
:* Machiko Yabuuchi - Marlena Xanderbilt
:* Misao Yamamura - Detective Magnum
* In the Funimation Dub, the Yabuuchi Family Attorney is named Chauncey Shiflett.
* The dub also changed Keiko's motive for setting up the timed crossbow. Instead of attempting suicide, Keiko had set it up purposely to 'scare Yoshifusa off'.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first episode to be digitally animated. However, the next episodes that will use digital animation will be [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|episode 219]], and later on, [[The Osaka Double Mystery - The Naniwa Swordsman and Toyotomi's Castle|episode 263]]. Every other episode will still be animated traditionally until [[Chinatown Deja Vu in the Rain|episode 284]].

=== Situation ===
==== Departure ====
[[Vermouth]] is on the phone with [[Gin]]. Vermouth passes on the information that [[Bourbon]] came across, that [[Sherry]] [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|was hiding in Gunma]] and was going to travel on the Bell Tree Express, a train owned by the Suzuki family which hosts a special mystery onboard. Vermouth [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|recalls her encounter with Conan Edogawa and her promise to let Sherry go]]. She justifies the upcoming attack on Sherry as Bourbon's job and asks Gin not to interfere before the train reaches its destination.

Conan, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], and the Detective Boys including [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] prepare to board the Bell Tree Express. Haibara still has a cold and has on her cold mask on the platform. The Detective Boys learn that the train usually runs only once a year, but this year will be different because [[Jirokichi Suzuki]] plans to run it a month later in another attempt to lure out [[Kaitou Kid]]. Sonoko also plans to leave her love letter for Kid in the train car. Suddenly [[Masumi Sera]] shows up, and she says she is interested in the deduction quiz that will take place in the train. Haibara notices her and covers herself with her jacket's hood.

Next, more passengers arrive. Satoru Ando of Room 8C is the first to arrive, and he is traveling with a client's painting with a solid gold frame. Taisaku Noto (8A) and Mari Idenami (8E) show their familiarity with the conductor. Natsue Komino (8D), an old lady in a wheelchair, is accompanied by her maid Hiruka Sumitomo. And lastly, the angry Etsuto Murobashi appears (7B), and he accosts the conductor for not having his usual room in Car 8. [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] (8B) introduces himself to the group after adjusting his mustache into the style of Hercule Poirot, explaining to him that his daughter, Ran, is a friend of the owner of the train, so he got Murobashi's room.

In Agasa's room, 6B, Conan and the Detective Boys are chatting. Someone knocks on their door. They find a mystery card lying there, telling them they have received the role of detective that will investigate the murder which will occur in Room 7B. The group (excluding Agasa) goes to 7B and witnesses a supposed murder incident. A masked man with hood shoots Etsuto Murobashi. They run after the murderer, but he gets away.

Later, they run into a train conductor, and learn that the quiz is supposed to happen an hour later and the card was fake. Conan, with a shocked expression, runs back to 7B only to found out that Ran, Sonoko, and Masumi are there instead, and to complicate thing further, Ran's group tell them they're in 8B. It seems that after the murder happened, Car 7 disappear into thin air.

Meanwhile, Haibara, who's slightly behind Conan group, follows them half-heartly, shows a strong reaction when Scar Akai leaves one of the rooms. But Scar Akai, who is dressed in a formal outfit, does not notice her and walks in the opposite direction. Haibara catches a glimpse of him.

Conan tries to convince the train conductor that something was wrong with the mystery murder that took place to no avail. Nevertheless, they learn more about the nature of the train. Passengers can ring a bell which turns on a light above their door to summon the carriage attendant who sits in the hall. Additionally, each car has no indication of its number inside, only from outside can one tell the car number, a feature added by Jirokichi Suzuki to make the train more mysterious. Meanwhile, Haibara recalls her encounter with Scar Akai a moment ago. She thinks he has the "feeling" of Dai Moroboshi but doesn't understand why he has a burn mark.

Conan then recalls seeing Masumi holding a card when they first ran into Ran's cabin. They go back to 7B and confront the girls with the correct conclusion: everything happened in 7B all along and the girls had lied that the room was 8B. Ran's party received the role of accomplices (assigned by the card that Masumi held) and temporarily switched rooms with Murobashi as part of the trick. As the Detective Boys followed Conan into the room, Masumi notices that Haibara is with the group, and says she wants to have a word with her. Haibara is spooked, but the conversation is cut short because Scar Akai had been lurking outside the door. Masumi demands to know who was there, but Scar Akai hides himself before Masumi sees him.

After the trick is revealed, they return to Ran's original room, 8B, to inform Murobashi that their trick got exposed. They try to open the door, but it is chained shut and Murobashi is "sleeping" on the couch. Just then, Masumi and Conan notice the gunpowder smell and break the chain link to open the door. They found Etsuto Murobashi was killed in a sealed room!

==== Tunnel ====
Conan and Masumi explain the reason why Murobashi's case could not be a suicide. Conan then receives a message from an unknown sender and tells the Detective Boys to go back to their room with Ran, and shouts angrily when they don't comply. Haibara thinks about the "ominous feeling" inside her, as well as Conan's tense behavior, as she clinging to Ran and wonders what is going on. Immediately, Scar Akai walks past and glares at Haibara which frightens her. Tooru Amuro also appears right behind Scar Akai, and greets Ran, who informs him a murder has taken place. This happens in the hallway right outside Subaru Okiya's room. Inside, Subaru hears the conversation and is also accompanied by a woman resembling Vermouth who is seemingly busy with her cellphone, but we don't see her face. He says to her that, "Heaven is siding with us".

Jirokichi Suzuki, who waits at Nagoya station, orders the train to head there without stopping, so he can witness the murderer captured. Without any other choice, Kogoro, Conan, and Masumi go to interrogate the passengers. Ran, Sonoko, Agasa, and the Detective Boys return to their room. The Car 8 conductor was the last to see Murobashi alive and gives his recount during the interrogations: The call bell sounded but no light was on so he visited Noto (8A), whose light was burnt out. Noto says he didn't call for service. It was at this time the conductor saw Murobashi on his phone at 8B's door. The conductor was then summoned to 8E, where Idenami complains about a noise in her room. During this time, Komino and Sumitomo (8D) exited their room and headed away, after which the conductor noticed someone peeking at him from behind the opened 8A door. Kogoro, Conan, and Masumi discover the connection between the suspects: They were all at a wealthy person's birthday party five years ago which ended with a big fire that killed the host and most of their family. They also discover the light bulb wasn't fixed as all the spares were missing, along with a set of conductor's uniform. Conan receives another unknown message.

Mitsuhiko brings up the subject of the woman (Shiho Miyano) who saved them from the fire in the last case. It is revealed that Mitsuhuko had sent a video recording of the woman to Kogoro, so Kogoro could find and thank her. Kogoro also thought of uploading the video to the internet. This causes Haibara to panic and think her ominous feeling is due to Black Organization members on the train. Haibara receives a message from an unknown address asking, "Are you ready?" and signed "Vermouth". Haibara makes an excuse to go out. Ran notices her strange behavior and tries but fails to follow her. Alone, Haibara recalls the tape left by her mother, Elena Miyano, for Shino's 18th birthday: She talks about Haibara's parents starting a drug project that will require them to leave Shiho and Akemi behind, a project they call "Silver Bullet". Haibara then regrets making the drug, thinking it was something that shouldn't have been made. She looks at the antidote to APTX 4869 that she is holding and decides to take it so that she can avoid involving those associated with her Haibara persona. Before she can take it, Subaru confronts Haibara, commenting that he accurately predicted her actions from knowing her sister, and invites her to "enter our area". Haibara runs away from him instead, thinking she can't be killed while in a shrunken state.

==== Intersection ====
Conan is still investigating the case. He asks the suspects to be filmed while running. They also learn the wealthy person was a collector of famous paintings, most of which were lost in the fire. While Sumitomo is filmed running, Conan tries to talk to Komino, who doesn't respond and smokes a pipe. Masumi leaves the group, intending to take the recordings to the Detective Boys to ask them which looks most like the masked suspect they chased earlier. On the way, Amuro notices her from a room and contacts someone with his cellphone. Scar Akai then walks past the mysterious woman who had come with Subaru. The woman says something to Scar Akai as he passes which startles him. But before he can follow her, Masumi confronts him and asks, "Who are you?" Scar Akai smiles and tells Masumi, "you haven't changed a bit." and he reveals his face to her. Masumi, surprised and confused, responds with "Shu-nii". (nii is Japanese suffix to call an older brother). She questions Scar Akai, stating that Shuichi should be dead. Masumi and Scar Akai's confrontation ends abruptly when Scar Akai knocks Masumi unconscious with a taser. Scar Akai then comments that Masumi's response was the one he wanted to hear.

==== Conclusion ====
Amuro opens the large painting Ando brought with him and reveals it is a folding mirror that fits the door, with a blob of brown paint placed to hide the number of the reflected door. Ando confesses to the crime.

==== Motive ====
Satoru Ando wanted retribution against Etsuto Murobashi because his wife was killed in the fire that Etsuto Murobashi set in order to steal valuable artworks from the mansion unnoticed. Initially Ando was going to force Murobashi to confess to the rest of the passengers, but Murobashi gleefully recalling his exciting escape from the fire enraged Ando.

While the deduction show still continues, Scar Akai enters the room belonging to the mysterious lady and throws her luggage out the window. The mysterious woman appears at the door and tells Scar Akai that the dress in the luggage was her favorite. The mysterious woman reveals herself to be [[Yukiko Kudo]] by naming Scar Akai as her old friend, "[[Sharon Vineyard|Sharon]]". Scar Akai rips his mask off and confirms Yukiko's deduction that she is none other than '''Vermouth'''.

Yukiko boasts to Vermouth that they know Vermouth's weakness, which is Vermouth that doesn't want anyone, including her partner on the train, to know that Conan and Haibara shrunk from the [[APTX 4869]]. Also, Vermouth had ordered software from CG programmer, [[Suguru Itakura]] that probably is related to the de-aging. Yukiko deduced this as Vermouth placed the order despite her and Itakura having hated each other since a fight on the film set. Vermouth responds to Yukiko's boast by saying she is the one who saw through Yukiko's team's plan. Vermouth deducts that they will try to fake Shiho Miyano's death so the Black Organization will let go of her for good. Vermouth explains then that Haibara can't be shown dead in her child body because it will cause the Detective Boys to panic and cry, which would bring the Black Organization's attention to them as Sherry's acquaintances. But if Haibara dies in her original body (played by Yukiko with makeup), then the Detective Boys will be none the wiser. Vermouth tells Yukiko that's not only Yukiko's luggage that she disposed of, but the bullet-proof vest with blood contraption that she hid in the basin closet as well. Yukiko say the two are even because even though Vermouth sees through her plan, neither has found Haibara. Vermouth reveals her trick to smoke Haibara out by detonating multiple smoke bombs she placed earlier. (The bombs can be seen under the attendant's seat and also in the crime scene.)

At the deduction scene, Amuro is the first to notice the smoke, concludes the train is on fire and tells everyone to evacuate to the front of the train. The suspects, who are pyrophobics after surviving the mansion fire incident, become panicked and run. Conan wakes up Kogoro and urges Komino and Sumitomo of room 8D to hurry up and leave. Next, Vermouth correctly deduces that Haibara won't escape the fire to the front like everyone else, but will go in the opposite direction. Then Haibara is shown, now in her original body, running through the smoke past the victim's room (7B). A voice from behind states that Shiho is "as expected of Hell's Angel's daughter" that she is "very much alike". The voice belongs to '''Tooru Amuro''', who introduces himself to Shiho with his codename, [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]].

Meanwhile, Vermouth continues to predict Sherry's movement that she will head to the back of train and be killed by the Organization alone, rather than involving her friends. Conan then phones Yukiko to inform her that he can't find Haibara anywhere. Vermouth grabs Yukiko's phone away and impersonates her on the phone, misguiding Conan into looking for Haibara at the front of the train. Vermouth then receives a message from Bourbon confirming that Sherry is indeed in carriage 8. She then boasts to Yukiko that's it's her team that has the advantage.

In carriage 8, Bourbon tells Sherry he has met her parents and sister. Sherry says she has heard about him and knows he is a rival to Dai Moroboshi, [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]]'s lover. Bourbon says Dai was an FBI mole, as he suspected. When he heard that Dai/Shuichi was dead, he didn't believe it at first and enlists Vermouth's help to disguise himself as Scar Akai, hanging around people who knew Shuichi to observe their reactions. However, this time he had Vermouth disguise as Shuichi in place of him. He comes to the conclusion that Shuichi is really dead.

At the Nagoya train station, Gin reveal the platform is lined with explosives for when the train arrives. Gin comments that the presence of the Jirokichi and Aichi police only make the explosion seem like an attempt on their lives, which covers the Black Organization's intention (manga only). Gin then becomes surprised when Vodka informs him Vermouth was asking for explosives, without telling him the purpose.

Bourbon, meanwhile, reveals his plan to take Sherry back to the Black Organization alive. Carrying a handgun, he'll have her step inside the storage hold, knock her out, bomb the carriage link to separate the storage hold form the rest of the train, then have allies take her away. Sherry refuses to cooperate, stating that the storage hold is full of explosives, causing Bourbon to realize that Vermouth had a different plan, wanting to kill Sherry from the start. Sherry steps inside the carriage and closes the door. Bourbon is about to follow her but a mysterious figure appears behind Bourbon, obscured by smoke. Bourbon thinks it's Vermouth; the mysterious figure throws a hand grenade over the carriage link. Bourbon, surprised at this, asks who the person is. The figure is revealed to the readers (but not to Bourbon) that he has Shuichi Akai's face, without the scar, and dresses in an outfit like those of Subaru Okiya's, wearing Masumi's hat. The grenade explodes, interrupting their one-sided conversation. The storage hold is separated from the train, and seconds later, it explodes, triggered by Vermouth's cellphone.

Vermouth explains to Yukiko she purposefully detonated the second bomb having heard the first one (which confirmed that the storage hold was separated from the train), making sure the explosion wouldn't cause the train to derail. Vermouth leaves the room while Yukiko begins frantically calling for Haibara, but she stops immediately after Vermouth is out of sight (manga only). Bourbon is left wondering who the figure was, but he seems to have an idea.

The train stops and the passengers disembark. Vermouth phones Gin about the situation, in which Bourbon claims he saw Sherry die in the explosion; Gin shows doubt about Sherry's survival. Gin points out that Vermouth wanted an explosion on the train so the train couldn't reach its destination at Nagoya (where Gin was waiting). Vermouth tells him they have to be questioned, along with other passengers and that he should be satisfied enough hearing that Sherry is dead. Vermouth hangs up and overhears the Detective Boys talk to Agasa (who has Haibara sleeping on his back) about how they found Haibara in room 7B. Haibara claimed she got dizzy after taking the drug for her cold and decided to rest there. The room was empty due to it being a crime scene. Vermouth realizes Yukiko's team figured that Haibara would go there, so they waited for her there. Conan's phone call to Yukiko was just an act to keep Vermouth in Yukiko's room and not look for Haibara. But Vermouth can't figure out who the woman who was supposedly killed in front of Bourbon was.

Vermouth then figures out Kaitou Kid's involvement after overhearing Sonoko voice her frustration to Ran that Kaitou Kid won't be able to board the train after the explosion. Vermouth also overhears Conan on the phone with Kaitou Kid, apologizing to him for dragging him into a situation with guns and bombs. Kaitou Kid is shown leaving the exploding train on his hang-glider, the gadget Conan deduced Kid would hide in the storage room in the first place. It is revealed in a flashback that Conan had deduced Kid's identity. Kid disguised as '''Hiruka Sumitomo''' (the maid) and had his accomplice disguised as '''Natsue Komino''' (the wheelchair lady). His accomplice, heavily hinted to be [[Konosuke Jii]], can't mimic the voice of the lady, and relied on Kid to talk like a ventriloquist. So when Conan has Sumitomo run in the corridor, Komino can't speak. Conan has the advantage of being short (looking from below) and saw through Jii's act easily (manga only), as well as their reaction about the fire, which wouldn't match the reaction of a pyrophobic.

Conan brings up the point that he purposefully overlooked Kid's actions to avoid being involved with the case as leverage to ask Kid for help. Conan shows him a video of Shiho Miyano and has Kid disguise as her. Haibara would tell him what to say through an earpiece. Conan tells him to be careful because guns and explosives are involved (manga only). Conan finishes his conversation by asking Kid to return his cellphone to the detective agency. Kid, annoyed, doesn't consider them even and comments that Conan should be in debt to him for helping.

Because of the explosion, the train is brought to an early stop and the passengers disembark so they can be questioned by the police at the station. Konosuke Jii, Kaitou Kid's assistant, has removed his old woman disguise because he is unable to speak without Kid to assist him. Masumi tries to figure out what's going on as Ran returns her hat, which she found in the corridor. Bourbon watches them silently and then asks Vermouth to give him the files from before and after Shuichi's death one more time. Vermouth agrees and Bourbon thinks he must reopen his investigation from "square one". Lastly, Subaru Okiya, is watching Vermouth and Bourbon from behind. One of his eyes is shown for the first time to reveal his Shuichi Akai-like eyes.</spoiler>

=== Character background revelations ===
* [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] is revealed to be the Black Organization member [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]], and he seems to know Shiho's mother, Elena, in which he instantly realizes Shiho as "Hell Angel's daughter".
* [[Scar Akai]] is revealed to be a disguise used by Bourbon and [[Vermouth]] to impersonate [[Shuichi Akai]] to ensure that the real Shuichi is dead by judging the reactions of Shuichi's sister and close friends. Bourbon had been using the disguise prior to boarding the train, but he had Vermouth take the role because she can imitate Shuichi's voice and block Masumi Sera from interfering.
* [[Masumi Sera]] is [[Shuichi Akai]]'s younger sister.
* [[Subaru Okiya]] is an ally of Conan's and his heavily hinted to be the real [[Shuichi Akai]]. The man who looks like Shuichi who drops the grenade is wearing Subaru's clothes and had taken Masumi's hat which had been in her room when Subaru returned Masumi.

=== Important event summaries ===
* Vermouth reports to Gin that [[Shiho Miyano]] has been killed. Although she later realizes she had been tricked, Vermouth keeps this discovery a secret.
* Yukiko deduces that Vermouth has some vital reason to hide from the rest of the Black Organization that Shiho and Shinichi have deaged due to [[APTX 4869]]. She also confirms that Vermouth was involved in trying to force [[Suguru Itakura]] to finish a special project he had stopped.
* Yukiko wins the bet she made with Vermouth, with the stakes being that Vermouth had to give up on hunting Shiho completely.
* Bourbon, who had earlier concluded Shuichi was truly dead, begins to second-guess his deductions. He asks Vermouth for detailed information from before and after Shuichi's death so he can begin from square one.
* Conan discovers Tooru Amuro is Bourbon, which Bourbon does not realize.
* [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] and [[Atsushi Miyano]] had worked on a project for the Black Organization called [[Silver Bullet (drug)|Silver Bullet]] which ultimately caused them to leave Shiho and Akemi. Shiho realizes that she should have never tried to complete the project. This solves the mystery of what Elena said on the final part of the tape left for Shiho's 18th birthday.
* [[Kaitou Kid]]'s heist has been postponed because the Belltree Express where [[Jirokichi Suzuki]]'s challenge would have been issued is under investigation. Kaitou Kid now considers Conan to be in his debt.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Departure ====
[[Vermouth]] is on the phone with [[Gin]]. Vermouth passes on the information that [[Bourbon]] came across, that [[Sherry]] [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|was hiding in Gunma]] and was going to travel on the Bell Tree Express, a train owned by the Suzuki family which hosts a special mystery onboard. Vermouth [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|recalls her encounter with Conan Edogawa and her promise to let Sherry go]]. She justifies the upcoming attack on Sherry as Bourbon's job and asks Gin not to interfere before the train reaches its destination.

Conan, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], and the Detective Boys including [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] prepare to board the Bell Tree Express. Haibara still has a cold and has on her cold mask on the platform. The Detective Boys learn that the train usually runs only once a year, but this year will be different because [[Jirokichi Suzuki]] plans to run it a month later in another attempt to lure out [[Kaitou Kid]]. Sonoko also plans to leave her love letter for Kid in the train car. Suddenly [[Masumi Sera]] shows up, and she says she is interested in the deduction quiz that will take place in the train. Haibara notices her and covers herself with her jacket's hood.

Next, more passengers arrive. Satoru Ando of Room 8C is the first to arrive, and he is traveling with a client's painting with a solid gold frame. Taisaku Noto (8A) and Mari Idenami (8E) show their familiarity with the conductor. Natsue Komino (8D), an old lady in a wheelchair, is accompanied by her maid Hiruka Sumitomo. And lastly, the angry Etsuto Murobashi appears (7B), and he accosts the conductor for not having his usual room in Car 8. [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] (8B) introduces himself to the group after adjusting his mustache into the style of Hercule Poirot, explaining to him that his daughter, Ran, is a friend of the owner of the train, so he got Murobashi's room.

In Agasa's room, 6B, Conan and the Detective Boys are chatting. Someone knocks on their door. They find a mystery card lying there, telling them they have received the role of detective that will investigate the murder which will occur in Room 7B. The group (excluding Agasa) goes to 7B and witnesses a supposed murder incident. A masked man with hood shoots Etsuto Murobashi. They run after the murderer, but he gets away.

Later, they run into a train conductor, and learn that the quiz is supposed to happen an hour later and the card was fake. Conan, with a shocked expression, runs back to 7B only to found out that Ran, Sonoko, and Masumi are there instead, and to complicate thing further, Ran's group tell them they're in 8B. It seems that after the murder happened, Car 7 disappear into thin air.

Meanwhile, Haibara, who's slightly behind Conan group, follows them half-heartly, shows a strong reaction when Scar Akai leaves one of the rooms. But Scar Akai, who is dressed in a formal outfit, does not notice her and walks in the opposite direction. Haibara catches a glimpse of him.

Conan tries to convince the train conductor that something was wrong with the mystery murder that took place to no avail. Nevertheless, they learn more about the nature of the train. Passengers can ring a bell which turns on a light above their door to summon the carriage attendant who sits in the hall. Additionally, each car has no indication of its number inside, only from outside can one tell the car number, a feature added by Jirokichi Suzuki to make the train more mysterious. Meanwhile, Haibara recalls her encounter with Scar Akai a moment ago. She thinks he has the "feeling" of Dai Moroboshi but doesn't understand why he has a burn mark.

Conan then recalls seeing Masumi holding a card when they first ran into Ran's cabin. They go back to 7B and confront the girls with the correct conclusion: everything happened in 7B all along and the girls had lied that the room was 8B. Ran's party received the role of accomplices (assigned by the card that Masumi held) and temporarily switched rooms with Murobashi as part of the trick. As the Detective Boys followed Conan into the room, Masumi notices that Haibara is with the group, and says she wants to have a word with her. Haibara is spooked, but the conversation is cut short because Scar Akai had been lurking outside the door. Masumi demands to know who was there, but Scar Akai hides himself before Masumi sees him.

After the trick is revealed, they return to Ran's original room, 8B, to inform Murobashi that their trick got exposed. They try to open the door, but it is chained shut and Murobashi is "sleeping" on the couch. Just then, Masumi and Conan notice the gunpowder smell and break the chain link to open the door. They found Etsuto Murobashi was killed in a sealed room!

==== Tunnel ====
Conan and Masumi explain the reason why Murobashi's case could not be a suicide. Conan then receives a message from an unknown sender and tells the Detective Boys to go back to their room with Ran, and shouts angrily when they don't comply. Haibara thinks about the "ominous feeling" inside her, as well as Conan's tense behavior, as she clinging to Ran and wonders what is going on. Immediately, Scar Akai walks past and glares at Haibara which frightens her. Tooru Amuro also appears right behind Scar Akai, and greets Ran, who informs him a murder has taken place. This happens in the hallway right outside Subaru Okiya's room. Inside, Subaru hears the conversation and is also accompanied by a woman resembling Vermouth who is seemingly busy with her cellphone, but we don't see her face. He says to her that, "Heaven is siding with us".

Jirokichi Suzuki, who waits at Nagoya station, orders the train to head there without stopping, so he can witness the murderer captured. Without any other choice, Kogoro, Conan, and Masumi go to interrogate the passengers. Ran, Sonoko, Agasa, and the Detective Boys return to their room. The Car 8 conductor was the last to see Murobashi alive and gives his recount during the interrogations: The call bell sounded but no light was on so he visited Noto (8A), whose light was burnt out. Noto says he didn't call for service. It was at this time the conductor saw Murobashi on his phone at 8B's door. The conductor was then summoned to 8E, where Idenami complains about a noise in her room. During this time, Komino and Sumitomo (8D) exited their room and headed away, after which the conductor noticed someone peeking at him from behind the opened 8A door. Kogoro, Conan, and Masumi discover the connection between the suspects: They were all at a wealthy person's birthday party five years ago which ended with a big fire that killed the host and most of their family. They also discover the light bulb wasn't fixed as all the spares were missing, along with a set of conductor's uniform. Conan receives another unknown message.

Mitsuhiko brings up the subject of the woman (Shiho Miyano) who saved them from the fire in the last case. It is revealed that Mitsuhuko had sent a video recording of the woman to Kogoro, so Kogoro could find and thank her. Kogoro also thought of uploading the video to the internet. This causes Haibara to panic and think her ominous feeling is due to Black Organization members on the train. Haibara receives a message from an unknown address asking, "Are you ready?" and signed "Vermouth". Haibara makes an excuse to go out. Ran notices her strange behavior and tries but fails to follow her. Alone, Haibara recalls the tape left by her mother, Elena Miyano, for Shino's 18th birthday: She talks about Haibara's parents starting a drug project that will require them to leave Shiho and Akemi behind, a project they call "Silver Bullet". Haibara then regrets making the drug, thinking it was something that shouldn't have been made. She looks at the antidote to APTX 4869 that she is holding and decides to take it so that she can avoid involving those associated with her Haibara persona. Before she can take it, Subaru confronts Haibara, commenting that he accurately predicted her actions from knowing her sister, and invites her to "enter our area". Haibara runs away from him instead, thinking she can't be killed while in a shrunken state.

==== Intersection ====
Conan is still investigating the case. He asks the suspects to be filmed while running. They also learn the wealthy person was a collector of famous paintings, most of which were lost in the fire. While Sumitomo is filmed running, Conan tries to talk to Komino, who doesn't respond and smokes a pipe. Masumi leaves the group, intending to take the recordings to the Detective Boys to ask them which looks most like the masked suspect they chased earlier. On the way, Amuro notices her from a room and contacts someone with his cellphone. Scar Akai then walks past the mysterious woman who had come with Subaru. The woman says something to Scar Akai as he passes which startles him. But before he can follow her, Masumi confronts him and asks, "Who are you?" Scar Akai smiles and tells Masumi, "you haven't changed a bit." and he reveals his face to her. Masumi, surprised and confused, responds with "Shu-nii". (nii is Japanese suffix to call an older brother). She questions Scar Akai, stating that Shuichi should be dead. Masumi and Scar Akai's confrontation ends abruptly when Scar Akai knocks Masumi unconscious with a taser. Scar Akai then comments that Masumi's response was the one he wanted to hear.

Amuro opens the large painting Ando brought with him and reveals it is a folding mirror that fits the door, with a blob of brown paint placed to hide the number of the reflected door. Ando confesses to the crime.

==== Motive ====
Satoru Ando wanted retribution against Etsuto Murobashi because his wife was killed in the fire that Etsuto Murobashi set in order to steal valuable artworks from the mansion unnoticed. Initially Ando was going to force Murobashi to confess to the rest of the passengers, but Murobashi gleefully recalling his exciting escape from the fire enraged Ando.

While the deduction show still continues, Scar Akai enters the room belonging to the mysterious lady and throws her luggage out the window. The mysterious woman appears at the door and tells Scar Akai that the dress in the luggage was her favorite. The mysterious woman reveals herself to be [[Yukiko Kudo]] by naming Scar Akai as her old friend, "[[Sharon Vineyard|Sharon]]". Scar Akai rips his mask off and confirms Yukiko's deduction that she is none other than '''Vermouth'''.

Yukiko boasts to Vermouth that they know Vermouth's weakness, which is Vermouth that doesn't want anyone, including her partner on the train, to know that Conan and Haibara shrunk from the [[APTX 4869]]. Also, Vermouth had ordered software from CG programmer, [[Suguru Itakura]] that probably is related to the de-aging. Yukiko deduced this as Vermouth placed the order despite her and Itakura having hated each other since a fight on the film set. Vermouth responds to Yukiko's boast by saying she is the one who saw through Yukiko's team's plan. Vermouth deducts that they will try to fake Shiho Miyano's death so the Black Organization will let go of her for good. Vermouth explains then that Haibara can't be shown dead in her child body because it will cause the Detective Boys to panic and cry, which would bring the Black Organization's attention to them as Sherry's acquaintances. But if Haibara dies in her original body (played by Yukiko with makeup), then the Detective Boys will be none the wiser. Vermouth tells Yukiko that's not only Yukiko's luggage that she disposed of, but the bullet-proof vest with blood contraption that she hid in the basin closet as well. Yukiko say the two are even because even though Vermouth sees through her plan, neither has found Haibara. Vermouth reveals her trick to smoke Haibara out by detonating multiple smoke bombs she placed earlier. (The bombs can be seen under the attendant's seat and also in the crime scene.)

At the deduction scene, Amuro is the first to notice the smoke, concludes the train is on fire and tells everyone to evacuate to the front of the train. The suspects, who are pyrophobics after surviving the mansion fire incident, become panicked and run. Conan wakes up Kogoro and urges Komino and Sumitomo of room 8D to hurry up and leave. Next, Vermouth correctly deduces that Haibara won't escape the fire to the front like everyone else, but will go in the opposite direction. Then Haibara is shown, now in her original body, running through the smoke past the victim's room (7B). A voice from behind states that Shiho is "as expected of Hell's Angel's daughter" that she is "very much alike". The voice belongs to '''Tooru Amuro''', who introduces himself to Shiho with his codename, [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]].

Meanwhile, Vermouth continues to predict Sherry's movement that she will head to the back of train and be killed by the Organization alone, rather than involving her friends. Conan then phones Yukiko to inform her that he can't find Haibara anywhere. Vermouth grabs Yukiko's phone away and impersonates her on the phone, misguiding Conan into looking for Haibara at the front of the train. Vermouth then receives a message from Bourbon confirming that Sherry is indeed in carriage 8. She then boasts to Yukiko that's it's her team that has the advantage.

In carriage 8, Bourbon tells Sherry he has met her parents and sister. Sherry says she has heard about him and knows he is a rival to Dai Moroboshi, [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]]'s lover. Bourbon says Dai was an FBI mole, as he suspected. When he heard that Dai/Shuichi was dead, he didn't believe it at first and enlists Vermouth's help to disguise himself as Scar Akai, hanging around people who knew Shuichi to observe their reactions. However, this time he had Vermouth disguise as Shuichi in place of him. He comes to the conclusion that Shuichi is really dead.

At the Nagoya train station, Gin reveal the platform is lined with explosives for when the train arrives. Gin comments that the presence of the Jirokichi and Aichi police only make the explosion seem like an attempt on their lives, which covers the Black Organization's intention (manga only). Gin then becomes surprised when Vodka informs him Vermouth was asking for explosives, without telling him the purpose.

Bourbon, meanwhile, reveals his plan to take Sherry back to the Black Organization alive. Carrying a handgun, he'll have her step inside the storage hold, knock her out, bomb the carriage link to separate the storage hold form the rest of the train, then have allies take her away. Sherry refuses to cooperate, stating that the storage hold is full of explosives, causing Bourbon to realize that Vermouth had a different plan, wanting to kill Sherry from the start. Sherry steps inside the carriage and closes the door. Bourbon is about to follow her but a mysterious figure appears behind Bourbon, obscured by smoke. Bourbon thinks it's Vermouth; the mysterious figure throws a hand grenade over the carriage link. Bourbon, surprised at this, asks who the person is. The figure is revealed to the readers (but not to Bourbon) that he has Shuichi Akai's face, without the scar, and dresses in an outfit like those of Subaru Okiya's, wearing Masumi's hat. The grenade explodes, interrupting their one-sided conversation. The storage hold is separated from the train, and seconds later, it explodes, triggered by Vermouth's cellphone.

Vermouth explains to Yukiko she purposefully detonated the second bomb having heard the first one (which confirmed that the storage hold was separated from the train), making sure the explosion wouldn't cause the train to derail. Vermouth leaves the room while Yukiko begins frantically calling for Haibara, but she stops immediately after Vermouth is out of sight (manga only). Bourbon is left wondering who the figure was, but he seems to have an idea.

The train stops and the passengers disembark. Vermouth phones Gin about the situation, in which Bourbon claims he saw Sherry die in the explosion; Gin shows doubt about Sherry's survival. Gin points out that Vermouth wanted an explosion on the train so the train couldn't reach its destination at Nagoya (where Gin was waiting). Vermouth tells him they have to be questioned, along with other passengers and that he should be satisfied enough hearing that Sherry is dead. Vermouth hangs up and overhears the Detective Boys talk to Agasa (who has Haibara sleeping on his back) about how they found Haibara in room 7B. Haibara claimed she got dizzy after taking the drug for her cold and decided to rest there. The room was empty due to it being a crime scene. Vermouth realizes Yukiko's team figured that Haibara would go there, so they waited for her there. Conan's phone call to Yukiko was just an act to keep Vermouth in Yukiko's room and not look for Haibara. But Vermouth can't figure out who the woman who was supposedly killed in front of Bourbon was.

Vermouth then figures out Kaitou Kid's involvement after overhearing Sonoko voice her frustration to Ran that Kaitou Kid won't be able to board the train after the explosion. Vermouth also overhears Conan on the phone with Kaitou Kid, apologizing to him for dragging him into a situation with guns and bombs. Kaitou Kid is shown leaving the exploding train on his hang-glider, the gadget Conan deduced Kid would hide in the storage room in the first place. It is revealed in a flashback that Conan had deduced Kid's identity. Kid disguised as '''Hiruka Sumitomo''' (the maid) and had his accomplice disguised as '''Natsue Komino''' (the wheelchair lady). His accomplice, heavily hinted to be [[Konosuke Jii]], can't mimic the voice of the lady, and relied on Kid to talk like a ventriloquist. So when Conan has Sumitomo run in the corridor, Komino can't speak. Conan has the advantage of being short (looking from below) and saw through Jii's act easily (manga only), as well as their reaction about the fire, which wouldn't match the reaction of a pyrophobic.

Conan brings up the point that he purposefully overlooked Kid's actions to avoid being involved with the case as leverage to ask Kid for help. Conan shows him a video of Shiho Miyano and has Kid disguise as her. Haibara would tell him what to say through an earpiece. Conan tells him to be careful because guns and explosives are involved (manga only). Conan finishes his conversation by asking Kid to return his cellphone to the detective agency. Kid, annoyed, doesn't consider them even and comments that Conan should be in debt to him for helping.

Because of the explosion, the train is brought to an early stop and the passengers disembark so they can be questioned by the police at the station. Konosuke Jii, Kaitou Kid's assistant, has removed his old woman disguise because he is unable to speak without Kid to assist him. Masumi tries to figure out what's going on as Ran returns her hat, which she found in the corridor. Bourbon watches them silently and then asks Vermouth to give him the files from before and after Shuichi's death one more time. Vermouth agrees and Bourbon thinks he must reopen his investigation from "square one". Lastly, Subaru Okiya, is watching Vermouth and Bourbon from behind. One of his eyes is shown for the first time to reveal his Shuichi Akai-like eyes.</spoiler>

== Resolution ==
<spoiler>
=== Character background revelations ===
* [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] is revealed to be the Black Organization member [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]], and he seems to know Shiho's mother, Elena, in which he instantly realizes Shiho as "Hell Angel's daughter".
* [[Scar Akai]] is revealed to be a disguise used by Bourbon and [[Vermouth]] to impersonate [[Shuichi Akai]] to ensure that the real Shuichi is dead by judging the reactions of Shuichi's sister and close friends. Bourbon had been using the disguise prior to boarding the train, but he had Vermouth take the role because she can imitate Shuichi's voice and block Masumi Sera from interfering.
* [[Masumi Sera]] is [[Shuichi Akai]]'s younger sister.
* [[Subaru Okiya]] is an ally of Conan's and his heavily hinted to be the real [[Shuichi Akai]]. The man who looks like Shuichi who drops the grenade is wearing Subaru's clothes and had taken Masumi's hat which had been in her room when Subaru returned Masumi.

=== Important event summaries ===
* Vermouth reports to Gin that [[Shiho Miyano]] has been killed. Although she later realizes she had been tricked, Vermouth keeps this discovery a secret.
* Yukiko deduces that Vermouth has some vital reason to hide from the rest of the Black Organization that Shiho and Shinichi have deaged due to [[APTX 4869]]. She also confirms that Vermouth was involved in trying to force [[Suguru Itakura]] to finish a special project he had stopped.
* Yukiko wins the bet she made with Vermouth, with the stakes being that Vermouth had to give up on hunting Shiho completely.
* Bourbon, who had earlier concluded Shuichi was truly dead, begins to second-guess his deductions. He asks Vermouth for detailed information from before and after Shuichi's death so he can begin from square one.
* Conan discovers Tooru Amuro is Bourbon, which Bourbon does not realize.
* [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] and [[Atsushi Miyano]] had worked on a project for the Black Organization called [[Silver Bullet (drug)|Silver Bullet]] which ultimately caused them to leave Shiho and Akemi. Shiho realizes that she should have never tried to complete the project. This solves the mystery of what Elena said on the final part of the tape left for Shiho's 18th birthday.
* [[Kaitou Kid]]'s heist has been postponed because the Belltree Express where [[Jirokichi Suzuki]]'s challenge would have been issued is under investigation. Kaitou Kid now considers Conan to be in his debt.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* Several conversations were removed in the anime adaptation.
:* Part of Yukiko and Vermouth's conversation: "Especially since it seems that the kids have met her in her former appearance..."
:* Amuro's explanation of why Vermouth was using the Scar Akai disguise on the train: "She's the only one who can completely immerse herself into the role of that man, and you know her well, after all..."
:* Gin commenting about how it is good the police and Jirokichi are on the platform: "It's good for us that the boss of the Suzuki Corporation and the top of the Aichi Prefecture police force are here... They'll misunderstand the whole situation as an attempt on their lives..."
:* Yukiko cutting off her scream for Ai once Vermouth left her room.
:* The carriage attendants commenting on the black smoke from the explosion: "Did the storage hold really blow up? Ye... yes sir. There was a bang, and when I looked out the window, there was black smoke."
:* Bourbon's retreat to the front of the car and his wondering about the identity of the man he saw: "Could it be, that silhouette I just saw..."
:* Vermouth noting that Conan had been eavesdropping: "He'd been listening to our conversation!"
:* Part of Conan's conversation with Kaitou Kid: "You came to scout out the train before your heist."
:* Part of Conan's conversation with Kaitou Kid: "But I'm short, so I could see her chin and saw through it all straight away."
:* Part of Conan's conversation with Kaitou Kid: "They'll probably try and corner her in the storage hold, where they've set some explosives, so be careful..."
:* Part of Conan's conversation with Kaitou Kid: "The reason you chose the wheelchair bound...yes, the real old lady and her maid..."

== Trivia ==
[[File:704 coloring error.png|thumb|right|200px|Coloring error from episode 704.]]
* In episode 704, there is a single frame coloring error in the scene where [[Vermouth]] speaks to Yukiko. The black in Vermouth's eyes and eyebrows is omitted.
* This case marks the first time [[Kaitou Kid]] has had a personal brush with the [[Black Organization]], assuming the [[Magic Kaito Organization]] and the Black Organization are not the same.
* This case was adapted into an animanga that was released on February 16, 2018.
* The train is being pulled by the preserved SNCF steam locomotive 230-G-353, which appeared in the 1974 film 'Murder on the Orient Express'.
<spoiler>
* Frequently missed clue as to Bourbon's identity is when Amuro opened the door, after the smoke, he saw that there was NO Fire, yet, he told everyone, "Fire."
</spoiler>
* The names of the suspects come from characters in [[Agatha Christie]]'s "[[wikipedia:Murder on the Orient Express|Murder on the Orient Express]]"<ref>http://mysteriouscolors.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-18.html</ref> :

=== Situation ===
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] are walking down the street past several construction sites. One in particular used to be a bathhouse, and as they pass by, they hear a loud crash from the construction site.

}}

The bands that held the pipe has marks suggesting that they had been deliberately cut, so this is not an accident, but a murder. The murderer would have to climb the stack to cut the bands to kill the victim, but other than the victim, none of the three workers approached the scene of the crime. Kaneda's knife is found at the scene, making him the prime suspect. Conan has his doubts, and investigates to find out how it is possible to cause this fake accident. He engages the culprit along with Kogoro's voice.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Naoki Murase'''.

Murase had likely stolen the knife from Kaneda the previous day. He used that to make cuts on the inside of the bands, where they wouldn't be seen, and tied the bands slightly tighter than usual. He used a pitching machine from the "Fan Fan" building next to where the crime had been committed to shoot a ball at the steel bars, causing the bands to break and the pipes to fall down. This is how he caused the fake accident without being seen or risking getting crushed himself.

His shoes have red threads from Fan-Fan's carpet floor and his footprints were left on Fan-Fan's waxed floor, proving that he went there. After returning to the scene of the crime, he would have to dispose of the ball somewhere. It was found in the debris pile.

Murase admitted to loathing Inomata. Inomata had used cowardly methods to buy plots of land for cheap to build his chain of spa resorts: one of which was a bathhouse owned by Murase's family. His mother passed away from an illness, and his father committed suicide. But he hated Inomata for rejecting and insulting his design concept incorporating the bathhouse, and thereby insulting and destroying his father's memories.

A few days later, Ran and Conan accompany Kogoro to play bowling with a girl during the opening ceremony of "Fan Fan".</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
Conan, Professor Agasa and the rest of the Detective Boys goes to a shrine ground to view Cherry blossom. There Conan meets up with Jodie to tell her that Scar Akai was Bourbon in disguise to test the FBI's reaction and find out if Akai is really dead. He futher tells her that Bourbon calls himself Tooru Amuro and works at Poirot under the detective agency.

Conan is worried because he doesn't know why Bourbon is staying despite that his mission being complete and asks the FBI to investigate him. During their conversation, a man who introduces himself as Tohei Benzaki butts in and asks Jodie if she is that foreign woman from the bank robbery case, futher saying that his wife was the woman who tied her up. He says that he had seen the scarred man a few days ago, but can't remember where, because he had a cold.

}}

Conan finds three black fem-yens placed near the victim's hand and recognize them as the signature act of Kurobee, a pickpocker known for leaving those three black coins in her victim's pockets, rumored to be a mocking thank you to the victims for earning money the pickpocker steals from them. He goes through the victim's belongings and discovers that victim herself was Kurobee due to the fact that she had a purse filled with black coins. He also finds a GPS wrapped in bills, coming to the conclusion that most likely Kurobee was killed by one of her own victims.

The Detective Boys finds four wallets that Kurobee had pickpocketed in order to identify her victims. Excluding Jodie, who has an alibi, since she stayed with Conan, there is three suspects left, Tohei Benzaki, Yoriko Danno and Shigemori Sakamaki. All three of them have three black five-yens in their possession, which is odd, since Conan thought that the ones left near the victim's body meant that the killer was left with none.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Yoriko Danno''' who used her shoelace to stack together a lot of 5 yen coins to form a rod. The murder was committed because the victim (Ikuyo Yatani) indirectly killed the murderer's son. Ikuyo Yatani was the pickpocket who stole Yoriko's wallet a year earlier with her car keys in it, which kept her son (who had asthma) stuck in her car to die from suffocation.

}}

In a quest of revenge she began researching for the thief and hung out in the spots where she usually appeared. Next to the body she left those three black coins from the incident. Tohei Benzaki is actually Bourbon in disguise and Vermouth disguises herself as his pregnant wife to get him out of the case. Bourbon comments on Conan being a terrifying man for a boy.

=== Situation ===

==== Part 1 ====
Conan, Ran, and Sonoko are cleaning up Shinichi's house, and their chat goes from Sonoko complaining about doing this in summer break to Ran wondering who could have been Shinichi's first love and Sonoko speculating whether Ran was his first love or not. Almost as if on cue, an old classmate stops by to check on Shinichi's well-being, then joins the group in their cleaning: her name is Asami Uchida, she used to be the student council president of [[Setting#Teitan Middle School|Teitan Middle School]] when Ran Sonoko and Shinichi were in the Grade 7 and she now attends a local art-centered university as a literature major.

While helping Conan and the girls with their work, Asami mentions that she'll throw her birthday party in a nearby bungalow that she and her friends rented specially for the event. She had come to personally invite Shinichi, however, and drops hints about a love confession that he might have given her four years ago. Sonoko mentions rumors about a younger student stalking Asami in these days, and Ran concludes that Asami was Shinichi's first love. Sonoko manages to rope Asami into inviting them as well, and Kogoro agrees to go there, once he learns one of the people has been a three time beauty contest winner.

The party starts normally, with the additional perk that it's also a celebration for Asami winning a literary prize, a tennis tournament ''and'' a beauty contest, and everyone seems to have quite a good time. A pretty girl named Tomoko Hayasaka teases the handsome Manabu Sawai about being a playboy, but he ignores it and focuses on complimenting Kogoro for having a way with words. Around the same time the older students Yoshinobu Morimoto, Chika Miyazaki and Shigehisa Noguchi mention Asami's accomplishments: she defeated Morimoto in the literary contest, Chika was just a runner-up for the beauty one that she won, ''and'' she was a part of the couple that won a mixed tennis tournament that Noguchi participated in as well.

In the meantime, Ran and Asami are baking Asami's trademark recipe: lemon pie. Asami forgot to bring the one she already baked. The pie itself looks messy since Ran had never baked any pies, but it actually tastes good; Asami says what matters is what's on the inside, rather than how it looks.

The party goes on well, and the bungalow's fax machine gets a fax from one of Asami's professors, wishing her a happy birthday. Asami herself, however, is feeling like crap all of a sudden so she's taking a nap. Sawai and mentions a nearby karaoke parlor where they already booked a room, saying they should let Asami sleep and go there for a while.

As everyone has fun, Sonoko notices Ran is rather mopey instead. She mentions how Asami is sweet, gorgeous, smart, once was the manager of the school's soccer club that Shinichi was a member of, and looks like she's super perfect, so she guesses that Shinichi admires Asami quite a bit and correctly deduced that Ran is feeling inferior to her. Ran mentions that Asami said Shinichi likes lemon pie a lot and offered to teach her (Ran) the recipe, and confirms that she feels like she can't compare to Asami. Sonoko tries to cheer her up by saying Asami is herself and so is Ran, so she shouldn't bring herself down.

Around 3 AM, the group starts getting ready to return to the rented bungalow nevermind one or two problems: like Noguchi being drunk, Sawai taking too much time to bring cigarettes or Kogoro being for too long in the restroom. They decide to go back and then go to bed so they can clean up in the morning, but then they look through the window and the bungalow ''is on fire''. Kogoro and Sawai immediately look for the keys to the rental car they have handy, so they can go there and rescue her.

When the group arrives, the bungalow's completely surrounded by fire, so much that it almost pours from the windows and even the doors. Ran, who was praying for Asami's safety in their way there, sees Chika trying to move a nearby motorcycle and has an idea: she puts on the moto's driving helmet, goes inside followed by Conan, kicks the door to the nearby open and rescues Asami.

==== Part 2 ====
Ran passes out almost immediately after rescuing Asami, both from the smoke inhalation and the huge effort. She wakes up in the nearby hospital and is fine, but Asami is still unconscious. She tells Sonoko that the helmet idea came from Conan, who gave it to her so she'd have extra protection, and mentions that he did something incredible.

Conan, Kogoro and the birthday guests are back to what remains of the bungalow and gather information. The fire began at 2:50 AM, at the living room, and was apparently caused by the b-day people's carelessness: Asami's birthday cake was left with its candles burning, they fell on the floor and the gift-wrapping papers, which triggered the fire itself and spreads it all around. Kogoro doesn't really believe this, and he wonders if Asami herself set the fire.

At the hospital, Sonoko tells Ran that when she was brought to the hospital, Asami was calling out to Shinichi and apologizing to him in whispers. They decide to go get some drinks and take a break, unaware of how Asami awakens once they leave.

Conan hears what Kogoro says and is troubled by several details. He's sure that Asami was lying on the couch when they left, but she was on the floor when he and Ran found her; additionally, several furniture pieces were in different spots. He wonders if Morimoto, who had the key to the house, set the place on fire, but decides against it since the fire began at 2:50 AM so he couldn't have had enough time ''and'' the window was open so the key wasn't needed. He also wonders about Noguchi (he had the car keys) and Chika (who has a bike), since there was some time when everyone was out of the karaoke parlor, but decides against it too: he couldn't have enough time, and her bike was already parked. Also, the policemen haven't found any specific things that could have been used to set the fire from a distance.

Conan wonders if Asami ''did'' truly set the fire, whether to kill herself or get attention. One of the firemen tells Conan not to stay too close to the burned remains and hands him two sheets of paper, apparently coming from the fax machine. Then Conan checks on the sheets and realizes that they were from two different faxes. The firemen also tell Conan that the cake was placed right under the fax machine.

Ran and Sonoko are still in the hospital, commenting how Asami switched from the tennis to the soccer club despite her natural tennis talent. Then they find out that Asami has disappeared. Around the same time, Conan snoops around the nearby store and finds out that Tomoko, Sawai and the already drunk Noguchi were around, and one of them may have something to do with the incident. It is here where the gas station manager tells Conan that Sawai had attempted to put a piece of sticky paper into the fax machine and then "send it backwards". After realizing that Asami had disappeared, Ran and Sonoko call Mouri. With everyone gathered around, Conan tranquilizes Mouri and begins his deduction.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Having realized the truth, Conan heads back to the villa. Ran and Sonoko have told Kogoro about Asami's disappearance, and he believes she may attempt to kill herself again. However, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro to reveal the truth.

=== Evidence ===
'''Manabu Sawai''' is the culprit. He set up the birthday cake with lit candles on a chair below the fax machine and sent a fax from a convenience store while pretending to use the phone, so the received fax caught fire as soon as the paper sheets touched the still-lit candles. To make sure this would happen, he sent ''several'' faxes and tested this method to be sure it would work. It's demonstrated when Conan through Kogoro tells the firemen to set up a similar trick in what remains of the house, effectively showing how easy it was for Sawai to set everything on fire without being there.

*He adds that when everyone was getting ready to leave to the karaoke box, Sawai took the "time out" to rearrange the furniture and place the sleeping Asami, whom he surely drugged with pills, on the floor so she wouldn't get burned.

*The owner of the shop saw Sawai using the fax machine when everyone else was singing in the parlor; then Conan appears holding two pieces of burned paper and showing them as proof as they do not match each other meaning they came from two different pieces of paper. The confirmation paper coming from the fax machine also holds info about Sawai's presence, like his phone name and fingerprints. Also Sawai had problems handling the fax machine itself so he had to use the birthday fax from Asami's professor as a test and the shop owner recalled his odd behavior.

Sawai angrily retorts all of this and asks for ''real'' proof.

*When the group arrived and they suggested to call Asami to see if she was okay, Sawai openly said the phone itself would be gone.
*The prof's fax, still smeared with cream, which Sawai probably kept in his pocket.

=== Conclusion ===
'''Manabu Sawai''' is the culprit. Chika and Noguchi openly wonder why Sawai would have wanted to kill Asami, but Conan through Kogoro says he never wanted to ''kill'' her and adds he wanted to ''save'' her, to be her "knight in shining armor" who would win her affections after rescuing her from mortal danger.

=== Motive ===
One of the firemen approaches Sawai and he tells him to stop, then pulls out the the fax paper and admits what he did, saying that he never expected the fire to spread as fast as he did. His motive was, effectively, to save Asami's life and thus catch her attention and gratitude, after having been rejected by her the previous month. Up until then, no girl had ever refused the handsome and charming Sawai's affections, so he was shell-shocked and wanted her to love him. However, Conan through Kogoro angrily calls Sawai out, stating that Asami would've died had they not made it back to the villa in time due to a potential traffic jam, car breakdown, or flat tire. He further states that if Sawai really wanted Asami to love him, then he should do something honorable and worth her affection rather than putting her in mortal danger and potentially killing her.

Asami appears on the doorstep right as Sawai surrenders peacefully. Sawai tells her she's such a beautiful and perfect girl, that she can have any man at her feet. She, however, replies that things don't work that way: if someone's heart won't open to someone else, then there's no way to force them to do so.

=== Aftermath ===
Later, a more cheerful Asami reveals to Ran and Sonoko that she was bluffing when she said she was Shinichi's first love. In reality he was ''her'' first love: she wasn't immediately attracted to him from the start, but came to like him for his talent and for his blunt approach to things - she once baked a ''terrible'' lemon pie for her tennis and soccer club friends, and he was the only person who told her it wasn't tasty, so she baked and baked until she made one he actually liked. She adds that she taught Ran a ''bad'' lemon pie recipe on a whim, but Ran was still skilled enough at baking to make it edible, and that she wanted to invite Shinichi to the party to get back at him for all the times he told her the pie sucked.

Asami then explains what ''actually'' happened when she confessed to Shinichi, much to Conan's embarrassment (and Sonoko has to gag him with her hands). She says Shinichi rejected her affections, yes, but that he also shyly explained why he couldn't go out with her: he already had a girl he liked, a girl he's "known from childhood" and who's "strong, stubborn, yet also gentle and kind of a crybaby". Sonoko joyfully shouts that the girl must be Ran, but she's oblivious.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
<spoiler>
* In the anime, when Sawai admits that he didn't think the fire would expand as quick as it did, Conan gets so angry that through Kogoro, he calls him on how selfish he has been: had the group been late for less than two minutes, Asami ''would'' have burned or asphyxiated to death, and Sawai never thought of it since he was that wrapped in his own feelings. He adds that if Sawai ''actually'' wanted to be loved by Asami, he should've simply stuck to become an honorable guy that she would've admired and come to love.
</spoiler>
* In the anime, the professor who sent the fax to Asami was named Masao Takamura, whereas in the manga, the professor was called Hideo Takamura.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Asami Uchida - Annette Peters
:* Manabu Sawai - Damon
:* Tomoko Hayasaka - Tammy
:* Shigehisa Noguchi - Nory
:* Chika Miyazaki - Cherie
:* Yoshinobu Morimoto - Mark

== Remastered version ==
* A remastered version of this case was aired August 20, 2016 and August 27, 2016.

== Trivia ==
* Nazo can be heard playing in a jukebox.
* Although Conan may not want to take part in cleaning his own house, he said that "if it is not cleaned, it'll turn into a haunted house", making a reference to [[A Haunted Mansion Murder Case]], when the [[Detective Boys]] said that the Kudo House was a haunted house.
* Asami Uchida claims to always get Shinichi's answering machine when she calls, although in [[The Time-Bombed Skyscraper]] all Kudo House calls would be rerouted to Agasa's house.
* Asami Uchida may not have known at first, but she deduced from this case that Ran must be the one that Shinichi has been in love with since he was little, just based on his vague description of her, however Ran still has no idea that he was describing her.
* Shigehisa's (茂久) name is wrongly written as Shibahisa (芝久) in his introductory suspects' box.
* Chika Miyazaki's motorbike is a 1998 Honda Global.

=== Situation ===
Kogoro is in the hospital after his leg injured by a criminal he was chasing down. While there, he witnesses a silhouette of one person stabbing another person in the back. He notifies the nurses immediately, only to find out that the room in which the murder took place is empty. This happens continuously for three nights in a row, before an actual murder has taken place on the 4th night. Even worse, Kogoro is found passed out next to the corpse and mistaken to be the killer, and now Conan will have to clear his name.

From a different room the first three murders, were in reality a CPR dummy that was stabbed to look like a murder, while the fourth and real murder occurred in the room opposite to Kogoro's.

The first three murders were to make it look like Kogoro was imagining things, and thus would appear to be losing his mind and he would be an easy target for pinning the murder on. The culprit who murdered Eto is '''Mitsuo Shirai'''. The evidence is his coffee cup, he was served coffee by a nurse who left it in his room. His fingerprints were no where to be found on from the cup he supposedly drank from, in reality he actually rinsed the cup holding it from its handle while wearing latex gloves.

If he had drank coffee why would he need to wear latex gloves? The reason being he had just knocked out Kogoro with the blunt weapon. Doctor Mitsuo refutes saying that he washed away his fingerprints when he was cleaning the cup he drank from. However Conan as Kogoro says that cannot be possible as the nurse's fingerprints were on that cup, meaning that he wants them to believe that when he washed the coffee cup, he somehow managed to leave the nurse's fingerprints intact while washing off his.

The reason that he cleaned his cup the way he did was because he never drank from the cup in the first place. He wasn't even in his office when the coffee was delivered, he was talking to the nurse via speaker phone creating the illusion that he had been there that whole time. Realizing his mistake he confesses and says his motive was that he was always mocked by his rival Eto and wanted to receive the promotion that both of the doctors were vying for. He reveals that Eto tried to blackmail him into backing off the promotion so that he could receive it for himself, that's when Mitsuo decided to kill him to get him out of the way.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
Ran and Conan are at Sonoko's place for her big sister, Ayako. Ayako is getting married so she’s there to meet her new dad-in-law. However, when they are at their house, they witness a murder outside in the rain. The victim is the dad-in-law, Tetsuharu Tomizawa. The killer at first looks like Ayako's fiancé, but then they find out he's the younger of triplet sons, and nevermind their more or less different looks they all have the same eyes, the only part of the killer that Ayako, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan saw. Which of the triplets is the real murderer: eldest son Taichi, second son Tatsuji, or youngest son Yuzo?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan is sure its one of the triplets. Since Kogoro isn't with them, he uses Sonoko instead. The culprit is the eldest triplet, '''Taichi Tomizawa'''. He told them that he has an alibi. He said that he was at the pachinko at the time of 11:30 PM. However, according to the law, every pachinko must be closed after 11:00 PM meaning that Taichi is lying and lacking a good alibi. In fact, at the time of 11:30 PM, he was really in the house, hiding. He followed the match there. When it ended, he recorded his message on the answerphone, having previously changed the time to an earlier one. All of this were to make them believe that he were calling at the time of murder. Then, he changed the time back and waited for his father to come back home. When he got back, he killed him with a stone. Taichi knew everything of what was happening because he was listening to them using a mike. He hid the mike in the watch of his father. Using it, it would be easy to follow every occurrence, from the match to his father's return. After the murder, he took the watch to get rid of any evidence. He also break the satellite to force his father to come there. There was a power cut during ten minutes at 11:30. If the power is cut, the answerphone stops working all. Of course, the clock still works because of batteries and we can still phone but it's impossible to record a message when there is no electricity. It would take an incredible luck to make his message and the time of the murder matched and that is the proof that he is the only one who can change the time on the answerphone. This is the evidence that Taichi is the culprit. He did it for the money and inheritance to be able to go on writing. He had less work and was starting to lose money so he asked his father to give him and that's when he understood. His father was pressuring his editor to make him refuse the work that he was asked to do. Taichi thought that his father wanted him to stop writing so that he could follow his steps in the company. When he found out that his father was coming to see Yuzo's fiancee, he found it a good chance to commit the murder. That's why he offered him the watch with the mike and broke the satellite. He also thought of getting Yuzo accused so that his part of heritage would be bigger. He did all of this to be able to continue to write. He is soon arrested.</spoiler>

Kogoro is invited to a party for the release of a game which stars himself. While there, Conan runs into a man who uses the alias Tequila and learns that he plans to meet with Gin and Vodka. Conan follows Tequila to the bathroom where an explosion occurs and kills the man. Conan investigates the explosion and realizes that it was a murder attempt but the wrong person was killed.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan attempts to knock out Kogoro, but his dart hits Ran in the rear when she walks over to check on her father's hangover. Conan is left shocked, but then surprised as Ran remains conscious; the dart had hit the keychain in her back pocket. Conan attempts to get the dart back, but instead accidently grabbed her rear. Ran reflexively struck with a mighty karate kick in defense; she believed a pervert was after her. Luckily, Ran misses Conan's small form and instead kicked Kogoro's head into the beam he was resting against; this knocks him out successfully, allowing Conan to use his voice-changing bow tie to reveal what had happened.

Conan reveals that Tequila and Hideaki Nakajima, one of the game designers, secretly exchanged suitcases. Conan reveals that the bomber is game designer '''Hironobu Takeshita''' and that Nakajima was his intended target. As evidence, Conan reveals that Nakajima's suitcase's key would fit into the suitcase Takeshita is holding since that is originally Nakajima's suitcase. The mix-up happened due to the fact that Takeshita had switched the numbers before Nakajima made the exchange with the victim. As a result the suitcase with the bomb was given to Tequila instead. Takeshita confesses and denounces Nakajima for leading '''Yoshimi''' (their university boxing club manager who had dated Takeshita and Nakajima afterwards) to suicide when he dumped her.

Further evidence is the number of the hotel keys; Kogoro's is 96 while Ran's is 100. Hironobu feared his plan would fall apart if the number he and his victim had were too different; he convinced his co-workers to cut in front of Ran to ensure all three had a number in the 90s. Another piece of evidence is the fact that Conan as Kogoro instructed Megure to check Nakajima’s suitcase, thinking that he had the case with the bomb Hironobu braced himself. But in the suitcase was only money Nakajima had recieved from tequilla, which proves his guilt as he believed that the bomb he planted in his suitcase was going to explode.

Conan asks Nakajima what he knows about Tequila's acquaintances only to learn that he always meets them in the [[Setting|"Cocktail" bar at the Daikoku building]].<ref>[https://www.megane-shufu.com/conan-boss Someone noticed] that this is also the surname of a guest appeared in [[And Then There Were No Mermaids#Trivia|And Then There Were No Mermaids]].</ref> Conan heads there only to find out Gin and Vodka had caused an explosion to hide evidence of them being there.

}}

After the explosion, Conan afterwards learns that Nakajima was selling a list of top computer programmers to Tequila.</spoiler>

== Continuity error ==
By the time that this story was told in the manga, Conan had a second encounter with Gin and Vodka (learning their names in the process), as well as learning about the [[Black Organization|organization]]. In the anime, however, [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]] and [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]] omitted ties to The Organization and its members. Thus Conan at this point in the anime shouldn't know the names of the men who shrank him, or their organization. Funimation fixes this problem in English dub of [[Diplomat Murder Case]], where [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] hints at the names of both Gin and Vodka. This makes it plausible for Conan to recall their names in this episode.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Hideaki Nakajima - Henry Nelbit
:* Koji Ueda - Kelvin Tug
:* Hironobu Takeshita - Charles Shore
:* Ishikawa - George Fuman
:* Yoshimi - Bonnie Shore
:* Daikoku Building - Apollo Building

::* Bonnie Shore's fate is ambiguous in the dub instead of committing suicide, which also changed her relationship with Charles Shore as ex-wife after they divorced when Charles found out she had an affair with Henry Nelbit, according to Kelvin. It could be implied that Bonnie might've went on her own path after she and Charles divorced.

==== Error ====
Conan upon hearing Kogoro mentioning having some Gin and Vodka, recalls that Heiji Hattori telling him that the two men in black who he met went by the name of Gin and Vodka. In the Japanese Version, he merely recalls that those were the two men responsible for his condition, however he should still not know their names, since he never learned their names at all.

This particular error originated in the Dub for Diplomat Murder Case. Presumably, this was done as a means of explaining how Conan knows the codename of the two men due to their omission in several episodes, but Heiji wouldn't discover Conan's secret until [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]].

=== Manga ===
* Due to Viz Media originally referring to Gin and Vodka as Kaspar and Melkior ([[volume 4]]), their translation of this story in [[volume 12]] has Conan's recollection of the two brought on by Kogoro mentioning that he had Kaspar Gin and Melkior Vodka. Following this, [[volume 18]] is the final time that Viz continued with altered names.

== Trivia ==
* In the English dub, the explosion in the Apollo Building killed 23 people, some of whom could not be identified by authorities.
* Mantendo is a reference to [[Wikipedia: Nintendo|Nintendo Co., Ltd.]], a Japanese video game company.
* Technically this is one of the few cases that Conan solves as The Sleeping Kogoro without knocking him out with his Stun-Gun Wristwatch, as he misfires and hits Ran on the butt, and upon attempting to retrieve the dart (which was stuck on the coat check tickets) she does a roundhouse kick, hitting Kogoro in the forehead in the process and knocking him out.
* Years later, this case would be mentioned again in [[On the Trail of a Silent Witness|episode 308]] due to Tequila being brought up by the associates of [[Suguru Itakura]] and Tequila having visited Itakura regarding a computer program that he wanted for the Organization along with Vermouth. In that case, Kogoro reassures Itakura's friends that the tall man with the black suit and mustache couldn't be the culprit for Itakura's absence, as the individual described (Tequila) was killed in a bombing accident a while back.

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

{{EndBox}}

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

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

}}

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

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

=== Situation ===
==== The Incident ====
Heiji is asked by Kasukawa to investigate a man who is lurking near the house of Ryoko Morozumi. An arsonist, dubbed the Red Horse after the red horse figurines he leaves behind at the fires, has been burning precincts in order. With the first three having already experienced a fire, and Ryoko's house being on the fourth precinct, they suspect the strange man to be the arsonist. While Kogoro, Conan, and Heiji stalk the house, it catches fire in the middle of the night.

| description = Shortly after Conan, Kogoro and Heiji left the Morozumi household, the house goes on fire and Ryoko dies. However, three of the four suspects have an alibi during the time of murder, was Genda the true culprit!?
}}

There are four suspected to be the arsonist: A salesmen named Takanori Genda, Ryoko's paramour and a Feng shui reader Misao Soga, Ryoko's sister Keiko Gondo, and Ryoko's husband Akira Morozumi. Since the latter three have established alibi's, this leaves Genda as their prime suspect.

==== The Investigation ====
Ran and Kazuha receive a red horse from Genda on the way home. Kogoro realizes that Genda plans to burn the Mouri Detective Agency with Ran and Kazuha in it and rushes home to find out that Genda had been arrested. Ran explains that Genda appeared at the agency asking for the red horse back since it will cause the building to be set ablaze and she called the police due to his strange behavior. Conan and Heiji suspect that while Genda was the cause of the first three fires, the fourth fire might have been created to murder Ryoko while placing the blame on Genda. Conan and Heiji investigate and realize that Genda has been experience psychological problems and that the other three suspects could have manipulated him to cause the fires. They investigate Ryoko's house and realize how the fire was started.

==== The Resolution ====
After investigating Genda's home, they found out that there were covert listening devices planted by Soga and Gondo and realize who the culprit is.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>That night, the three culprits enter Genda's house with Soga and Gondo retrieving their listening devices in a Feng Shui vase and zabuton cushion respectively. Apparently they had Genda as a client and committed fraud to trick him into using their services more often. Heiji and Conan confront '''Akira Morozumi''' before he could start the fifth fire and declares him as the culprit. They reveal that Akira, Genda's psychiatrist, made him believe he was starting the fires but in reality, the first fire was an accident while the other three were done by Akira.

The owner of the house where the first fire occurred was a customer of Genda and had gotten a key chain from him. But the fire broke and burned both the box and Guan Yu, leaving only the horse. The owner never got to open the box, so he honestly testified that he never saw the horse before. And because 'Red Horse' was an old police slang for 'arsonist', everyone jump to the conclusion that it was the beginning of a crime spree. Genda recognized the horse in the paper, but was confused that the owner claimed to not have seen it, so he became confused and sought out Dr. Akira Morozumi, thinking that he had begun sleepwalking again. Akira saw an opportunity to burn his wife's family home by using Genda as a scapegoat.

Heiji reveals that Akira started the fourth fire by wrapping a light bulb with sheets of tissue and placing a match in between the sheets. When it reached a certain temperature, the match would ignite and start the fire. The evidence to convict him is the fingerprints found on the key holder base found inside the zabuton cushion Ryoko died clutching. The base matches the horse left at the third crime scene. Akira emotionally rants he wanted to burn his home so it could be converted into a new psychiatric clinic. He killed his wife as she had figured out what her husband was doing and tried to blackmail him into a divorce. Akira is later arrested and Genda is released from custody.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* The kissing scene between Ryoko and Misao in the manga original was censored.
* This case is like the plot of [[Wikipedia: Agatha Christie|Agatha Christie]]'s ''[[Wikipedia: The A. A.B.C.|Murder Case]]'' with [[Wikipedia: Hercule Poirot|Hercule Poirot]].

=== Situation ===
==== Prologue ====
Nichiuri TV celebrates the opening of their new office building in Osaka and announce the production of the movie "Kaiju Gomera vs. Kamen Yaiba" by Taiho Pictures. Conan, Kogoro, Ran, the Detective Boys, Heiji and Kazuha are all there to take part in the filming as extras. TV producer Yonekura gets killed when a large monster action figure falls on him in the warehouse. Conan and Heiji deduce there were two culprits and that they are his subordinates Mihara and Kouchi, who killed Yonekura for taking credit for their work. Mihara and Kouchi try to escape arrest in Yonekura's car but Mihara is stopped by police. Kouchi drives off and crashes the car into a river. A bomb in the car goes off and kills him.

}}

==== Interlude ====
The next day, [[Fumimaro Ayanokoji]] joins the investigation as Yonekura was connected to a scriptwriter Onda, who died in Kyoto the day before Yonekura's death when he drove off a cliff. Onda drives a red car on even days and a blue car on odd days but he died in the red car on an even day. Yonekura and Onda worked together on an independent film 20 years ago. A third death occurs in Suemura, an employee of Taiho Pictures, when a bomb explodes at an abandoned warehouse. Suemura was also a part of Yonekura's team 20 years ago. The bomb used matches the one that was in Yonekura's car and the police suspect a bomb was also used in Onda's death. They learn of a fourth member of the team 20 years ago in Katsuji Ishizawa and look for him only to find him bound and gagged in the kitchen of his own home.

==== Climax ====
Ishizawa's brought to a hospital. He had been starved for two to three days with bruises all over. Conan and Kogoro investigate Ishizawa's residence. They deduce Ishizawa was locked in his room on the second floor, broke out and fell down the stairs but couldn't explain why he didn't go outside for help. Conan notices a newspaper in the entranceway with a story on Yonekura's death. Conan meets with Haibara, who tells Conan about how Yonekura, Onda and Suemura all paid off their debts ten years ago and, at around the same time, there was an unsolved robbery of 120 million yen by a four-man group. Also, before his death, Onda was close to bankruptcy after failed investments. Conan deduces the robbery was committed by Yonekura's team and the deaths were due to a falling out but can't work out the culprit. Conan considers the possibility that Yonekura killed Onda after being blackmailed but he couldn't explain why Yonekura's car had a bomb. Haibara suspects Ishizawa staged his confinement but Conan didn't find evidence of that. Conan couldn't explain why a bomb was only planted in one of Onda's two cars or why the bomb in Yonekura's car had no timer or detonator.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan deduces '''Yonekura''' was behind the bombings and the plan was to kill Onda, Ishizawa and Suemura on the same day to make his alibi. Yonekura could have directed Suemura to the warehouse and the bomb in his car was actually explosives yet to be made into a bomb, presumably for killing and framing Ishizawa or for setting off at the airport carpark to make it look like he was also a target but escaped death on account of being on a business trip and not in the car. But Onda's death happened a day earlier than expected when his blue car broke down and he had to drive the red one. Seeing the news of this distressed Yonekura to the point that he couldn't avoid being killed. This also threw off the rest of his plan. Ishizawa couldn't ask for help due to the risk of the robbery coming to light.

Heiji finds a home video at the Onda residence showing there was a fifth man on the team. The fifth man was Katsuji Ishizawa's brother Koichi. Heiji and Conan set up Katsuji to lead them to Koichi. Koichi says he was supposed to be working as a guard at Abeno Harukas for an event related to the Gomera/Yaiba movie. Yonekura set it up for him. Heiji and Conan realize there are two bombs there and that Ran, Kazuha and the Detective Boys are there too. Heiji and Conan get there and find one of the bombs on the terrace but the other one is inside with Kazuha and Ran. They communicate over the phone and deactivate both bombs together.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first anime-original case that occupies the length of four episodes; the episodes' production standard is also extremely close to the movies.
** In the summer of 2018, after Takahiro Okura had finished composing the script for [[The Fist of Blue Sapphire|'''Movie 23''': The Fist of Blue Sapphire]], the director Yasuichiro Yamamoto commissioned him to conceive the script of this case.
* This was the first episode to be dubbed by Macias Group, and also the first one to be dubbed into English in nearly fourteen years after Funimation last dubbed episode.
** As of February 2025, however, all episodes dubbed by Macias Group have been removed at Tubi for unknown reasons.
* The producer victim is named after actual ''Detective Conan'' producer [https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/people.php?id=40768 Isato Yonekura]; which is also the second ''Detective Conan'' producer who was "persecuted" in the anime, after [[Michihiko Suwa]].
* The case reveals that Kazuha actually likes the ''Gomera'' movies since she watched them when she was young with Heiji although this fact is not confirmed in the [[manga]].
* ''Taiho Pictures'' is a pun to [[wikipedia:Toho|Toho Pictures]], the company which produces the ''Detective Conan'' [[movies]] and Godzilla movies.
* The ultimate scene regarding the bomb disposal pays homage to [[The Time-Bombed Skyscraper|'''Movie 1''': The Time-Bombed Skyscraper]] with the red cord left uncut.
* The four section titles: {{nihongo|'''序'''|Jo}}, {{nihongo|'''破'''|Yabu}}, {{nihongo|'''急'''|Kyū}}, and {{nihongo|'''結'''|Ketsu}} originate from concepts of Japanese traditional literature; whilst paying homage to the naming manner of the TV movie ''[[wikipedia:Rebuild of Evangelion|Rebuild of Evangelion]]''.
* Yonekura's SUV stolen by Mihara and Kouchi is a 2007 black clearcoat Lincoln Navigator (U326). The license plate number is 浪速 300, よ 12-09 (Naniwa 300, Yo 12-09).
* One of the cars in the parking is a brown Toyota Prius. The license plate number is 浪速 301, ふ 68-20 (Naniwa 301, Fu 68-20). Another Toyota Prius, although white, is seen at the scene of Onda's accident.
* The {{nihongo|Naniwa Police Hospital|浪速警察病院|Naniwa keisatsu byōin}} is in fact the {{nihongo|Osaka Police Hospital|大阪警察病院|Ōsaka keisatsu byōin}}.
* Onda's blue car is a bleu abysse 2018 Alpine A110 Premiere Edition. The license plate number is 浪速 332, り 1-10 (Naniwa 332, Ri 1-10).
* Onda's red car was a rosso portofino pearl 2018 Ferrari Portofino [F164]. The license plate number was 浪速 332, は 1-64 (Naniwa 332, Wa 1-64).
* Otaki's police car is a Toyota Crown. The license plate number is 浪速 800, ? 33-86 (Naniwa 800, ? 33-86).

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] were playing soccer while [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] were sitting at a bench, watching them run around. At one point, the ball hit Mitsuhiko in face as he was trying to volley a pass from Conan and it flew towards the fences. As Conan went to pick up the ball, a car passed by, making its way down a hill. He and Haibara noticed there were drops of brake fluid on the road and immediately realized that car was out of control. She tells him there is a railroad crossing up ahead and tosses his skateboard to him. As Conan skateboards down the hill to stop the car, she calls the police. At the crossing, [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] was in a car using her phone when she heard that car honking. She turns around and sees Conan airborne with his skateboard, catching her by surprise. He manages to stop the car by wrapping his belt around a railing and shooting a soccer ball, which inflated and redirected the car toward a pile of cardboard boxes at Tohto Paper Recycling Plant.

}}

The police arrive at the plant and tell Takuya Hosoo, that car's driver, that someone messed with its brakes. Takuya tells them he knew that, but he had no choice since having to hurry. He even says who does not have time to take any questioning from them. Soon after, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] arrive at the scene to scold Conan, not knowing that the kid saved Takuya, and Sonoko came soon after. They misunderstood Conan's intentions because Sonoko told them the kid caused the car to crash, since she saw it right after Conan flew onto the road.

As Takuya was opening the trunk of his car to look at a briefcase, which he had to deliver to someone, he turned his head and recognized Sonoko as [[Shiro Suzuki|President Suzuki]]'s daughter. It turns out they meet each other often during Kabuki after-parties, since her father is a huge fan. Ran and Conan bugged out when Sonoko told them she dined with the famous Kabuki theater actor Ichikawa Ebizo XI a bunch of times. Takuya tells them Ebizo is a big fan of Sleeping Kogoro, who is famous as the best detective in Japan.

Takuya, Kogoro, Ran, Sonoko, and Conan are on Hitoshi Takahashi's car, heading toward Kabuki theater where Ebizo is currently. He is aware that Conan was actually a detective since Kaitou Kid's midair walk, and kept calling him "Detective". On the way there, Takuya and Hitoshi discuss the incident from earlier. Hitoshi tells Takuya that he did not see anyone suspicious near the garage of his luxury house last night. At the theater, they see Ebizo and some other people practicing "[[Wikipedia: Nanatsumen|Nanatsu Men]]" of the [[Wikipedia: Jūhachiban Kabuki|Jūhachiban Kabuki]]. After some practice, everyone gathers around to see Ebizo open the briefcase Takuya gave to him. Inside, there was a two-faced mask, made by someone from the wood leftover used to restore the Buddha at [[Wikipedia: Tōdai-ji|Todaiji Temple]] during the Kamakura Period. As everyone gazes at it in awe, Conan notices something peculiar about it.

The next morning, when the president was shocked about the two-faced mask is gone, it was found on Hitoshi's car, who is dead, but the stolen mask is gone and only the briefcase is there. According to [[Officer Tome|Tome]], the culprit used vinyl gloves to complete the crime.

While Conan is talking to Kaneko, he was kidnapped and left in an abandoned building being demolished. He manages to make his way through the rubble, but the door is locked and no one can hear his screams. Ran, Sonoko, Haibara, and the [[Detective Boys]] are wondering where's Conan and go looking for him around Ginza 4-chome, Iwaibashi. Ebizo also joins them.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Takuya Hosoo'''. He was the one who manipulated his brakes just to make an alibi to himself. He was supposed to have crashed into a safety barrels, but ended up in the paper station due to Conan's intervention. That way, he looked like he was being threatened by someone. His trading company was going under, so he needed the money. He decided in secret to take out a life insurance policy for his secretary and then killed him to get the money. While he was committing the murder, a button fell from his sleeve and was later found in the car engine. He was supposed to have changed his polo at the Hotel New Baker, but was found by his accounting secretary during a work's discussion. Shioji was the one who replaced the mask for him and the real one is secured at Haneda Airport, since he asked Richard to pay a million yen for it, after stolen the one false since he knew the code given by the security guard to Iwami and wasn't seen in the surveillance footage. However, when she learns Takahashi's murder, his vengeful girlfriend confesses all to [[Juzo Megure|Megure]]. Kaneko had started to blackmail him at the basement of his abandoned building being torn down, which was the staff office, using all incriminating photos he had taken of him. He payed Kaneko for the memory card, but ultimately decided to kill the cameraman to keep him quiet. However, unbeknownst to him, Kaneko had kept a copy of the pictures on his computer, so that he could continue to blackmail him, but this action ultimately helped Conan to solve this case. Iwami was seen on the surveillance camera threatened and blackmailed by Kaneko, who saw him going inside the Kabuki museum, even if the cameraman knew that he didn't steal the mask. Since Kaneko had kidnapped Conan in order to stop his investigation, Hosoo left him to die along with the cameraman because he could be a witness. After Hosoo's arrest, with Conan's surprise, Ebizo wants to put the great detective Sleeping Kogoro, who is awakened still beliving him the culprit, in his next show.</spoiler>
