'''{{nihongo|Yui Uehara|上原由衣|Uehara Yui}}''', formerly known as '''{{nihongo|Yui Torada|虎田由衣|Torada Yui}}''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Yui Uehara grew up together in a village somewhere in Nagano prefecture. She was close to [[Kansuke Yamato]] and to the popular village policeman Kuroto Kai. Inspired by him, Yui joined the police force in her early twenties. Soon after that, Officer Kai died under mysterious circumstances, prompting Yui (and Yamato, who was also close to Officer Kai and became a policeman following his example) to investigate the case. They were not able to make much progress during the next five years (presumably), until Yamato heard that a thief that Kai had arrested two years before his death broke out of jail. Yamato, believing that the thief had something to do with his death, went after him personally, but he suffered a deadly accident while on the chase, and subsequently went missing. As Yui believed that Yamato was dead, she thought that she must do more to get to the bottom of Officer Kai's death. As a result, she resigned from the police force and married Yoshiro Torada (changing her surname as a result), a man whose family might have had something to do with Officer Kai’s death. Yui did not really love her husband, although his feelings for her were genuine.

Yui spent the next year at the Torada household, but she was not able to gather sufficient information to find the truth, and the story behind Officer Kai's was revealed only when another string of mysterious murders occurred (with her husband winding up as the first victim) and that case was solved. Yui contributed to solving it, and Yamato (who had survived the accident), [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] also were able to figure everything out.

Soon after the resolution of the string of murders, and with the urging from Yamato, Yui rejoined the police force, and changed her surname back to “Uehara” (she did feel badly for her husband, however). She is now an assistant police inspector working under Yamato at Nagano’s prefectural police headquarters.

== Personality ==
Yui is a friendly and considerate person, which offsets Yamato's harsh appearance and behavior, complementing the two so different personalities. It is frequently hinted by her behavior that she is in love with him, but his professionalism has as yet prevented any serious personal engagement, although Yamato himself seems not reluctant to it.

Yui, just like Yamato, is very aware of Conan's intelligence, telling Conan about how Yamato believes that he is more intelligent than [[Kogoro Mouri]], sneakily trying to get Conan involved in investigating the crime.<ref name=UehCon>[[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|Episodes 558-561: The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall]]</ref>

== Plot overview ==
=== Furinkazan Case (Manga: [[Volume 59#Furinkazan Case|613-618]], Anime: [[Furinkazan|516-517]]) ===
* Yui makes her first appearance in this case. Her husband has just died a few days ago, and her surname is still “Torada”.
* When Yamato calls her “Uehara” and orders her to tell him the time (as he needs to know when exactly they discovered the body), Yui does so without thinking twice, and it is only after she answered that both suddenly realize that she is no longer his subordinate. Yamato apologizes, as Yui says that it is ok.
* Yui, knowing that [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] likes Hattori, advises her to not follow her path: Yui waited for too long, and before she was able to confess her feelings he was already gone, resulting in irreversible and immeasurable losses to her.
** Here, Yui is probably regretting over the fact that as she hesitated and did not confess to Yamato in time, he went missing, which (indirectly) drove her to marry Yoshiro Torada, which eventually resulted her current status as a widow.
* Yamato announces that Yui (and six other people, including some from the Torada family) are suspects, and orders them to go home and pray before he makes an arrest. Yui, hearing Yamato’s cold words, says “Kan-chan, you no longer call my name as you did before” with some sorrow on her face.
* Yamato replies that due to the case, instead of treating her as a childhood friend or as a former subordinate, he needs to see her as a suspect and as the widow of a victim.
* Yui is later shown to be looking at a photo taken with Yamato and Officer Kai when they were both still kids. Yui recalls asking Officer Kai to marry her, and remembers that he replies, amused: “Spare me of this, please! Kansuke would loathe me!”
* Yui is able to solve the case and predict that the culprit’s next target is Akira Tatsuo. She thus goes to his household to protect him, but is not anticipating the culprit to bring subordinates. Yamato, Conan and Heiji, who are anticipating this, are able to save her and Akira Tatsuo and defeat the culprit and her men.
* After the case concludes, Yui tells Yamato why she married Yoshiro Torada, adding that she feels sorry for him. Yamato tells that she should rejoin the police force once she feels ready, and jokes that their superintendent misses the coffee that she makes (despite it being terrible).

=== Dangerous Couple Case (Manga: [[Volume 65#Dangerous Couple Case|680-681]], Anime: [[A Dangerous Party of Two|557]]) ===
* Yui and Yamato, on their way to Tokyo, encounters [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] and [[Ai Haibara|Ai]] (they do not know that they know Conan) stranded in the forest of Yamanashi. They offer them a ride to Tokyo, which Agasa and Ai accept gracefully.
* After getting on the car, Ai senses that something is not right: Yui and Yamato talk suspiciously, there are bloodstains and bullet holes everywhere in the car, and their faces are hidden behind sunglasses. Ai's conclusion is that they might be from the Black Organization; Conan clears up the misunderstanding eventually.
* Yui reveals that she has rejoined Nagano’s police force already and that just a few months into the job, both she and her car are already bruised.
* It is revealed at the end of the case that they are coming to Tokyo to ask Kogoro for help on a difficult case. In order to convince him to go to Nagano to assist them, they have brought him some local snacks.

=== Red Wall Case (Manga: [[Volume 65#Red Wall Case|682-686]], Anime: [[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|558-561]]) ===
* Yui tells Conan secretly that it seems that Yamato went to Tokyo to seek Kogoro's help just for Conan to come along as well. She believes that Yamato has gone to such length to seek help because Morofushi is investigating the case as well, and since they have been rivals since childhood, he does not want to lose to Morofushi under any circumstances.
* Later, Yui seems to realize that the real purpose for Yamato to head to Tokyo is that he wants Conan to assist Morofushi, so that Morofushi can figure out the case more easily (and be promoted and come back to the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters).
* Yui expands on the accident that made Yamato lose his left eye: after he went missing for a few days, most people in the police headquarters thought that he was dead. But Morofushi did not give up, and decided to pursue the escaped thief that Yamato had been chasing, although this was going against his superiors' orders.
* In the end, after crossing prefectural borders, Morofushi managed to track down and arrest the thief, who revealed that Yamato had gone missing in an avalanche. But it turns out that Yamato was not dead, as Morofushi was later able to find him in a hospital.
* Yui is ordered by Yamato to follow Morofushi closely as he investigates the case. This ends up saving Morofushi's life when he is struck unconscious by the culprit and the mansion that he is in is set on fire.
* Near the end of the case, in order to fool the culprit and facilitate arresting him, Yui and Yamato are disguised as a couple.

=== Eye for an Eye (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|783-784]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|653-654]]) ===
* Kazuha, following Heiji's request, calls Yui to ask her about the case that Yamato, Morofushi and she are investigating, as that case has a lot to do with the one that Heiji and Conan has on hand.
* Yui agrees to share information about their case, saying that since they are detectives that have done favours to the police, she will break the rules for them. Later, Heiji is able to get crucial information from Yamato.

=== The Red Woman (Manga: [[Volume 83#The Red Woman|873-875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===
* As both Yamato and Morofushi are occupied, she comes to the investigate the murder case without them. She is not able to make much progress on the case, and the truth is finally revealed by [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], Conan, Yamato and Morofushi.

=== Kawanakajima Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Kawanakajima Murder Case|913]]-[[volume 87#Kawanakajima Murder Case|917]], Anime: [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|810-812]]) ===
* Since Yui cannot figure out the truth behind the case, she is misled to believe that Yamato is in grave danger and that his feud with Morofushi is real.
* After the case is solved, Yui is relieved, but thinks that Yamato could have told her about their plans to mislead the culprit beforehand to not make her worry.
* Yamato thinks that she is talking way to much and shouts at her to make her shut up, which prompts her to say bitterly that she will not be so concerned with him anymore, as he does not want attention from a widow anyways.
* In a rare act, Yamato smiles and replies warmly that the huge scar on his face puts him in a similar situation. Yui blushes after hearing this.

=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===
* Yui appears at the end with Yamato and Morofushi to investigate the crime scene.

=== Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case|1082-1084]], Anime: TBD) ===
* At the end of the case, the protagonists are at the hut that [[Yamamura Misao|Yamamura]] and [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Hiromitsu]] built together when they were kids. Yamamura discovers that Hiromitsu left him a message, and Yui is curious about it and wants to know what it says. Knowing that Morofushi and Yamamura are trying having a discussion about the message and want some privacy, Yamato changes topic to distract Yui.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Yoshiro Torada ===
Yoshiro had been Yui's husband before he died in a tornado. She married him in order to investigate his family's connections to the death of Kuroto Kai, a police officer that she admired. He loved her, and while this was not reciprocated, Yui does seem to feel bad about her motives for marrying him and his death.

=== Kansuke Yamato ===
Kansuke Yamato cares very deeply for his subordinate and childhood friend Yui, although, superficially, this does not seem to be the case at all, due to Yamato's short-tempered and serious personality. Yui cares for him in return and seems to have feeling for him, always affectionately referring to him as "Kan-chan" (he always scolds her for doing so while on duty). In the LOVE PLUS Super Digest Book, it reveals that Yui likes inspector Yamato for his passion and kindness.

== Name origin ==
The two kanjis for the name "Yui" (由衣) is derived from {{nihongo|Princess Yu|由布姫|Yū-hime}} and {{nihongo|Princess Koi|湖衣姫|Koi-hime}}, the two names used in novels for the daughter of [[Wikipedia: Suwa Yorishige|Suwa Yorishige]], head of the Suwa clan. Her last name, Uehara, comes from Uehara castle, the main stronghold of the Suwa clan.

==== File 664 - Ikkaku Rock ====

After a successful sea fishing trip (on some island belonging to Kanagawa Prefecture), Okiya comes with a large boat to take the Detective Boys back to the mainland. They are all surprised, as all were expecting Agasa, and Haibara is additionally scared, as she insists that Okiya has the special “smell” found only on Black Organization members. Conan (behind whom Haibara is now hiding), on the other hand, is not worried at all, and tells Haibara that perhaps her opinion is preconceived. Okiya does not seem to notice Haibara’s fear of him, and helps her get onto the boat when she slips; Haibara appears genuinely surprised by the fact that Okiya seems like a nice person and that nothing bad has befallen her.

The boat starts sailing. It is near evening, and the captain, Iwao Ida (whom the Detective Boys got to know in volume 45) suggests that the Detective Boys go to the deck to enjoy the beautiful sunset glow; they obey happily. While looking at the sun falling down the horizon, Ayumi spots something spiking out of the sea. Ida explains that the spike is actually a tiny, oddly-shaped isle called “Ikkaku rock”, and that according to legends it is the horn of a sea-dwelling dragon. This dragon is said to dislike fishermen so much that she will try to sink any boat daring to go near her (for this reason boats tend to avoid the seas around Ikkaku rock), but likes children very much. Upon hearing this, Ayumi and Genta both shout that they want to visit it; so to Ikkaku rock the boat goes. As they approach, they encounter another boat, and Ida reckons that the three young men (called Yusaji Kaita, Rokusuke Oto and Shuhei Aosato respectively) on that boat are divers trying to become friends with some rich entrepreneur’s daughter. They seem to be looking for someone, and when Aosato comments that “it does not appear to be near here” they sail away.

The boat reaches the island, and Okiya and the Detective Boys immediately start exploring. Okiya finds a rock with very recent carvings, and the carvings are katakana characters meaning “mackerel, carp, sea beam, flounder”; meanwhile, Conan finds a single flipper inserted into the crevice between two rocks. He immediately senses something wrong, as leaving the flipper there means that the person that depended on it to reach the isle could not return, and the carvings might be some sort of message. Therefore, Conan decides to head to the other side of the isle to see whether anything is going on there, and he ends up finding the body of a young woman who died a few hours ago of dehydration. Beside the body there is a diving tank and a scuba regulator, and the part of the scuba regulator that is supposed to make contact with the mouth is clean despite the woman having lipstick on. Conan and Okiya believe that this means that someone (for some unknown reason) replaced the regulator after the woman’s death but did not call the police, which makes it likely that they are dealing with a murder case.

==== File 665 - Mackerel · Carp · Sea Bream · Flounder ====

Jugo Yokomizo arrives at Ikkaku rock and comes to the same conclusion as Conan and Okiya did after examining the body. He is then told about the strangely inserted flipper and the carvings, but cannot figure out the carver or their purpose. Conan argues that the carver was definitely the victim: he has found a wristwatch on the isle whose abrasions are of a width matching the width of the carvings, and there is a clear mark on the wrist of the victim with a width matching that of the watch. Furthermore, since the wristwatch is well-hidden, it is unlikely that the murderer carved to confuse the police, as he (or she) would want to leave the isle as quickly as possible and thus would simply toss the watch aside after carving. Conan then hands the wristwatch to Yokomizo, who notices the initials H.A. on the back of the watch and the words “Akamine angle … club” the word between “angle” and “club” cannot be seen any more, probably because that part of the watch has been rubbed against some surface in order to make the word disappear).

Having established that the fish names constitute a dying message, Conan further reveals that the victim is called Hikari Akamine, the only child of a banker who opened a branch in Kanagawa Prefecture only recently. Yokomizo is stunned by Conan’s knowledge of the victim’s identity, but before he has a chance to ask how Conan figured it all out, he (and everyone else) is distracted by an approaching boat. It is the three young men that Conan and company encountered a while ago, and they explain (after Yokomizo tells them about the situation) that the victim is their friend, that they often dive together and that she disappeared during a dive three days ago, leaving them nothing but an email reading “you guys, take care of the rest!”. Yokomizo asks how they reacted to the message, and they say that they did nothing during the first two days, as it was not the first time that Akamine disappeared after leaving such a message. Once, she reappeared on the second day after partying all night long on another boat, and was very unhappy when realizing that her friends had called the police (to search for her). They also reveal that Akamine prefers going into the ocean alone (as opposed to going in a group or finding a partner to form a pair, which is a safer and the standard practice) despite not knowing how to swim, and that her stubbornness imperiled her life during a dive half a year ago and resulted in the death of a diver and friend called Yoshiro. Yokomizo wants to know more about this person, but Aosato insists that he has nothing to do with the case at hand; thus Yokomizo asks instead about the band-aid that he has attached under the mouth. Aosato claims that he is just trying to cover the scar formed after popping a pimple the day before; he adds that he did so while surfing on the Internet in a cybercafé (he wanted to see whether there was any news concerning Akamine) and supporting his chin on one of the hands.

Conan notices that all three divers possess a wristwatch identical to Akamine’s; by asking them about it, he soon knows that the word between “angle” and “club” is “fish”. He believes that this word is a part of the dying message, but does not understand how it is related to the rest. Meanwhile, the other members of the Detective Boys are trying to figure out the meaning of the dying message, with Mitsuhiko suggesting that by adding syllables to the fish names, new words emerge, and that by putting them together one can more or less construct a sentence. Haibara remarks that adding or deleting syllables could work, but that there must be a set of instructions contained in the dying message that tell people what to attach or remove and when (in other words, she is saying that Mitsuhiko’s arbitrary approach will likely not work, that they need something systematic). These words seem to enlighten Conan and Okiya, and they soon are able to decode the dying message and figure out the murderer. Conan thanks his friends for inspiring him, and Okiya comments that children’s naive thoughts cannot be underestimated and dismissed.

==== File 666 - Thirst for Blood ====

<spoiler>
Conan and Okiya point out that the message sent from Akamine’s email address must have been written and sent by one of her three friends, as Akamine never returned to the boat and could not take her phone into the ocean. The divers agree with the logic, but argue that there is no solid evidence of anyone impersonating Akamine, because of which deducing from this that the murderer is among them is foolish. Conan disputes what they are saying, and tells them that Akamine’s dying message indicates unequivocally that Shuhei Aosato is the murderer. The trick is that the fish names mentioned in the dying message should be “translated” from katakana to kanji. The result is as follows: “サバ” (mackerel) becomes “鯖”, “コイ” (carp) becomes “鯉”, “タイ” (sea beam) becomes “鯛” and “ヒラメ” (flounder) becomes “鮃” (note that the left half of all four kanjis is “魚”, which means “fish”). The word “fish” being removed from Akamine’s wristwatch means that one is supposed to read the four characters without the fish part (i.e. without “魚”). This leaves “青里周平”, which is the name of '''Shuhei Aosato''' written in kanji.

The accused dismisses their findings. He says that this kind of word game means nothing, and notes that if Akamine wanted to incriminate him it would have sufficed to write his name down directly. Okiya says that leaving such a straightforward message risked it being erased, so Aosato instead argues that they have no evidence of him returning to Ikkaku rock after the dying message was written. Conan retorts that although nobody saw anything, that he came is almost certain by following logic. Conan conjectures that three days ago, Aosato, when diving with Akamine, damaged her tank (claiming that it was an accident) and took her to the nearest landmass - the Ikkaku rock. He then promised Akamine that he would return with help, but never did, and her inability to swim combined with the lack of traffic around the isle trapped her on it and led to her dehydration and death. Conan further says that this theory explains the murderer’s need to come back to the isle after Akamine’s death: he had to replace the damaged diving tank (and scuba regulator) with a functional one so that people would not sow doubt on the abnormal state of the diving tank and realize that her death was not an unfortunate accident (in which Akamine encountered problems while diving, was able to swim to Ikkaku rock but eventually died because no boat would approach and rescue her) but a well-crafted murder.

Aosato is tired of yet another evidence-free guess and repeats that nobody has ever seen him do anything like that. But Okiya says that the evidence is right on him; namely, under the band-aid below his mouth. He explains that since the computer mouses in cybercafés are invariably on the right, the hand that Aosato used to support his chin must have been the left one. But the band-aid is on the right side of his face, which his left hand could not have reached. Yokomizo realizes that Aosato was lying, and thus tears off the band-aid; this reveals that what he was trying to hide is a lipstick mark. Conan explains that after replacing the diving tank, he had to dive back using the damaged one, which had lipstick on it and thus left a mark on his face. Yokomizo carries on where Conan leaves off and says that lipstick cannot be easily wiped off or washed away, which is why Aosato had to cover the mark with a band-aid.

Aosato, knowing that his whole plan has been uncovered, finally admits guilt. He says that during the dangerous dive half a year ago, when the three divers on the boat lost sight of Akamine because of the dreadful weather, Yoshiro jumped into the sea to look for her. A while after, Akamine appeared beside the boat, demanded that she be dragged up and indicated that she had not seen Yoshiro. However, Aosato later found that that was a lie, which he believes suggested that she did not care about Yoshiro at all. He shouts that for that he stranded Akamine on Ikkaku rock, and that now he will do so again. As he says so, he grabs Ayumi, produces a dagger, demands Yokomizo make his subordinates (on the police boat) leave and orders Ida to cut the tie and let his boat drift on itself (so that he can escape in his boat with Ayumi and nobody else can follow him). Conan realizes in dismay that none of his “weapons” is on him, and asks Haibara whether she has any. The latter is not able to respond properly, as she suddenly senses something and is horrified to the core. Haibara turns around, and sees Okiya calmly (but somehow also viciously) inform the murderer-kidnapper that the overwhelming majority of criminals that attempts to escape is eventually brought to justice, and that among the ones protected by Satan himself (i.e. the ones that manage to not be caught), most lives in a state of fear so mentally exhausting that they eventually commit suicide or turn themselves in. Okiya continues to say (while approaching Aosato) that for those reasons, the success rate of a fugitive is infinitesimal, and that Aosato must prepare himself for the immeasurable loneliness and stress that accompanies a a life on the run. Aosato is apparently shaken by the brutal truths that Okiya has uttered, and in an attempt to restore his confidence points his dagger at Okiya. This turns out to be counterproductive, as Okiya is completely unafraid and takes advantage of this to hit Aosato’s extending arm and send the dagger flying in the air. As Aosato stupidly watches his weapon fall into the bottomless sea, Okiya swiftly steals Ayumi from him and tells her gently that the danger is over. As Yokomizo escorts the defeated Aosato away, Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko cheer for Okiya, but Haibara only gets more frightened. She hides behind an unconcerned Conan, holds onto him tightly and thinks to herself that Okiya is undoubtedly from the Black Organization.

=== Convenience Store Case ===
{{ref anime|343-344|The Convenience Store Trap}}

==== File 426 - Goodbye Jodie ====

Jodie is resting at her desk in Teitan High School’s staff office, with her eyes closed. She recalls that many years ago, when she was still a little child, a stranger broke into her house on a rainy day. She (was completely in black, by the way) murdered a man, and proceeded to grab the pair of glasses that the man was clutching. At this moment, Jodie entered the same room, and asked innocently who the woman was. The woman put her index finger on her lips and was about to respond when Jodie’s recollection is abruptly terminated by a fellow staff member, who calls her name several times and asks in a caring manner if she is tired and if her students have been causing her headaches. Jodie answers in negative, saying that they are all good students; then she attributes her apparent tiredness to being saddened by the fact that she has to leave them.

In the next panels, Jodie is seen telling her students about her impending resignation, much to their surprise and disappointment. After school, Ran and Sonoko catch up with Jodie to ask for a more detailed explanation of her sudden resignation (what she told the class was that there were “family issues” that she had to attend to). Jodie tells them that the “family issue” explanation is inaccurate and that the real reason behind her departure is that she has found a long-sought and very important treasure map. The girls, bewildered by these words, demand elaboration, but Jodie replies that the topic is a secret of hers, and that “a secret makes a woman woman”. Ran, knowing that Jodie does not intend to divulge information, switches the topic by saying that, regretfully, she has never taught Shinichi. Sonoko comments that there is nothing to regret about, as, in her opinion, a person who focuses so much on some boring case that he leaves “his wife” behind cannot appreciate the novel teaching methods of Jodie anyway. Ran puts up some mild objection about the usage of “wife”, and says with a reddened face that Shinichi will not come back before solving the case, as he is not someone who gives up easily and will try everything within his capabilities to finish what he has started. Sonoko, apparently noticing Ran’s blushing face, picks up where Ran leaves off and says in a fangirly manner “Oh! That is what I love about him, let’s kiss!”. This embarrasses Ran considerably, and she proceeds to downplay her previous comments by retorting that she just wanted to say that Shinichi is a stubborn and overly persistent person.

At this point, Jodie comments that Conan seems to be a stubborn person as well. Ran mentions that he has been staying at Agasa’s lately because he wants to take care of Haibara, whom Conan believes is sick because of him, until she recovers completely. This comment gets Jodie thinking, while Sonoko changes the subject and proposes that they go to Jodie’s apartment for a farewell party. Jodie and Ran agree, and therefore they decide to first head to the convenience store where one of Ran and Sonoko’s friend (called Aya Nanakawa) currently works to buy drinks and desserts.

Upon arrival at the store, they see a furious store manager shouting at Aya and threatening to replace her with someone else. Sonoko and Ran intervene and try to soothe an upset and crying Aya while the store manager reveals that he suspects Aya of being a thief. Sonoko is quick to come to the defense of her friend (and former classmate), and the manager explains that he was initially unwilling to believe that Aya was the culprit either, but a series of events, including that the loss of goods only happened on days when Aya was on watch, that surveillance cameras failed to reveal wrongdoing by any customer and that theft happened even when nobody but Aya came and left the store, forced him to come to his present conclusion. The store manager further reveals that a myriad of items have been stolen, including game softwares, CDs, DVDs, many types of beverages, box lunches (whose best before date was always near), bars of chocolate and so on.

As learning these is insufficient for Ran and Sonoko to prove Aya’s innocence, they turn to Aya to listen to her opinion. Aya tells them that she finds three customers suspicious: the first is likely a university student, and this person sometimes come to the store to read gaming magazines until the store closes at night, and usually buys fast food and instant noodles; the second is a very quiet salaryman who never starts a quarrel even when being cut in line and usually buys things like toothbrushes, towels and batteries; and the third is an elderly woman who likes spending as little money as possible, often lectures the manager on how to save electricity and usually does not buy anything at all. Aya also says that all three suspects have in common that they frequently use the toilet of the store, which is located behind the storage area at the back of the store.

Despite these new pieces of information, Sonoko and Ran are not able make progress, and they can do little more than continuing defending Aya ardently. The store manager, seeing that they are not convinced, reveals yet another reason why he believes what he believes. He recounts that exactly one month ago he rebuked Aya as well, and after that theft stopped for a long time. Just when he thought that Aya had learned that her misdemeanors were unacceptable, theft started again, and this time the loss of goods was much more than usual. With this said, he demands an apology from Aya, and again threatens to fire her, but she insists that she has done nothing wrong. Ran and Sonoko, knowing that the situation is spiraling downwards quickly, suggest consulting with Shinichi or Conan, but Jodie says that they should try having a go at the case before turning to others for help, because “he who you rely upon can disappear at any time”.

==== File 427 - Ran's Deduction ====

Ran and Sonoko thus start considering the case again. After reviewing all the information at hand and getting nowhere, Ran asks herself what Shinichi would do in this situation. She recalls that he once told her that when there is a case, it is almost certain that something deviating from the norm happens, and such deviations, however slight and apparently insignificant, are clues that can be found by careful observation and that form the cornerstone of a deduction. Ran thus asks Aya whether anything special happened on the days when she was on watch. Neither she nor the store manager can think of anything, but another employee points out that the store is exceptionally clean whenever Aya is on watch. He elaborates that after newly arrived goods are taken into the storage room during the night, Aya will make sure that the boxes are arranged orderly so that they do not block the way to the bathroom. The employee adds that nobody else, including the manager himself, bothers to do that; they usually just leave the boxes all around the place and expect the employee working on the second day’s morning shift to clean things up for them. The store manager grudgingly concedes that the employee’s account is true, but insists that Aya’s good habit does not excuse her and that he will call the police unless Ran and company can find the real culprit.

Ran thinks about Shinichi again at this moment. Conan, who is in Agasa’s house, reciprocates this feeling; it is as if the two were connected by telepathy. Conan does not think too much about Ran though, and he instead asks Agasa about the whereabouts of the still-feverish Haibara. Agasa says that Haibara is probably in the laboratory listening to the tapes that her mother left her, and that since the air conditioner is on, they do not have to worry about her cold worsening. It turns out that Agasa is right: Haibara, with her eyes closed, and with an expression that clearly shows relish and inner peace, is presently listening to the recording that her mother prepared for her 18th birthday. In this recording, her mother asks what Shiho is doing in her life and tells her that as long as she does not regret her decisions, she will fully support Shiho. Haibara, thinking that the recording ends there, tries to switch to the recording for the 19th birthday, but her mother suddenly starts talking again. She says that it is probably time for Shiho to know that she is actually… Then, after a panel illustrating that Haibara is surprised by what she is hearing, the file takes a shape turn to show us a continuation of Jodie’s recollections: the unknown woman was bending over to her, her index finger still close to her lips, and then huge flames engulfed the house and reduced it to ashes. This time she is interrupted by her two students, who notice that this is the first time that Jodie has taken off her glasses. Ran additionally notices that they appear very old; Jodie concurs, and adds they are the only trace that someone very important to her left in the earthly world.

Sonoko and Ran fail to grasp the depth of her words, and the store manager, who is unhappy that they are not buying anything, orders them out. It is already night and, as usual, people from the transportation company bring new goods to the store. They tell the employee at the cashier that they will take the new goods to the storage room, but the employee, seeing that there are a lot of customers queuing before the bathroom, tells them to come back later. Ran, having overheard this conversation, starts thinking, and asks Sonoko whether she knows of any quote by Sherlock Holmes resembling “eliminating the impossible things…”. Sonoko is clueless, but Jodie confidently and seriously replies that the quote that Ran is looking for is “whenever you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.” After hearing this, Ran seems to have come up with a deduction, but she is afraid that it might be wrong, which she believes will be damaging to Aya, who is already in a perilous situation. She thus remains indecisive and thinks of Shinichi yet again, believing that he knows what to do in such situations. The telepathic connection between the two again manifests itself and Conan, using the voice of Shinichi, calls her at that exact moment.

==== File 428 - The Unbelievable Conclusion ====

Conan calls in order to ask whether Ran has recently been to Shinichi’s house to clean (he suspects that someone has been entering his house); Ran says that she has not. Ran then tells Conan that Aya is in big trouble, and she repeats to him all the information available to her. Conan is able to immediately work out the real culprit, but before he is able to tell Ran, she interrupts and says feebly that she also has a deduction, and that she would like to share it with him. Conan agrees to hearing it; thus Ran starts telling him about it, with Sonoko and Jodie listening in attentively. Once she finishes, Conan bursts out in laughter, and tells her that it is a bit funny that even though she has a rather complete and consistent deduction, she still remains hesitant. Ran thinks that this is Shinichi’s way of telling her that the deduction is correct, but Conan replies that since detectives, like other people, are mere human beings with limits in their abilities, they are rarely 100% confident when making a deduction and almost always worry about having neglected some small but crucial detail. He proceeds to say that this element of unknown is what makes detectives twice as satisfied as other people when the deduction hits right at the target, and that in order to not deprive Ran of this sense of satisfaction he cannot tell her whether the deduction is correct, but encourages her to find out by herself by luring the culprit out.

<spoiler>

Ran, inspired by Conan’s words, quickly comes up with a plan. She runs into the now-empty bathroom and screams “Fire in the store! Run! Otherwise you will be burnt to death!”. The store manager, confused and irate, storms to the bathroom, pounds the door heavily and threatens legal action. Ran comes out of the bathroom and signals him to stop talking, and the reason becomes clear very soon: loud noises are heard in the supposedly empty bathroom, the door is suddenly flung open violently, and a person rushes outside. Jodie stops this person (revealed to be the salaryman) at the entrance to the storage room, and Ran says “it is indeed you” coldly. She forcefully declares the salaryman to be the culprit, and, when the store manager says that he did not see this person despite having spent a whole night right outside the store watching, Ran reveals that the salaryman has been living in the space above the bathroom ceiling. Jodie asks why this person would take game softwares and DVDs, and Ran says that when he sneaks out of the store with these, he can sell them for money, which will allow him to take baths, cut hair and make himself clean. He comes out of his refuge only when the store is packed with people so that nobody becomes suspicious. Similarly, when he needs to go into hiding again, by letting others cut in line leading to the bathroom, he is sure to be the last one entering it, thus again raising no suspicion. Furthermore, with the batteries bought, he can power a flashlight, which is needed for searching for food and other basic necessities in the lightless, closed store during the night. And finally, he steals only when Aya is on watch because only she clears the path out of the bathroom of boxes (and stealing a large amount each time will ensure that he does not starve despite Aya being on watch only a few times a week). Sonoko thinks that this last explanation is not entirely convincing: she argues that the salaryman can simply push any blockage away. Ran has not considered this possibility, and is stunned by this remark, but fortunately Conan is there to prevent Ran’s deduction from falling apart. He explains on the phone that the salaryman does not dare to move any obstructing box because he fears that the movements, however slight, will be noticed by store employees, who then will infer that something is wrong with the bathroom and proceed to expose him.

The store manager accepts all Ran’s previous explanations, but he has one question remaining: why was there a prolonged period of time when the salaryman did not steal at all? Ran answers that the period that he is referring to was right after he reprimanded Aya, and that since the salaryman is not a truly bad person and realized that his actions hurt someone innocent, he decided to stop for some time. Ran further says that another piece of evidence supporting the “not so bad thief” theory is that the box lunches stolen were invariably the ones whose best before date was near (this suggests that the salaryman wanted to minimize the loss of the store).

The deduction is complete, and the salaryman admits straightaway that he is the real thief. He kneels down to ask for pardon, and recounts that three months ago, he lost his job and was evicted from his apartment; just when he was extremely hungry, he walked into the store and ended up in the bathroom. It was night and the light was turned off (potentially because the employee on watch that day assumed that all customers had left). After adapting to the darkness, the salaryman suddenly found himself surrounded by loads and loads of food, and, unable to resist the temptation, he started stealing in order to survive, and convinced himself that stealing such a small amount would not cause problems for the store. Upon hearing this, the store manager barks out, telling the salaryman that contrary to his belief, the store has suffered terrible losses. He then insists on being compensated. When the salaryman says that he does not have a single penny on him, the store manager, for the first time, brings out his merciful side, and tells him that he can compensate by working at his convenience store but with no salary for the first few months. The manager then comforts the salaryman by saying that his troubles and feelings are relatable, as he was fired by his company as well before opening the store. The salaryman cries in happiness, incredulous that whom he has inflicted huge damage on just saved him from misery and provided him with a path forward. Ran and Sonoko interrupt this warm moment and demand that both parties apologize immediately to Aya. They comply with this demand without any grudge.

With the case solved, Ran and Sonoko part with Aya, who is feeling better, and they and Jodie head to her apartment. When Ran is in the bathroom, she notices something hidden behind the mirror; upon closer inspection, she sees a few photos behind it, depicting her, Shinichi, Conan and a few other acquaintances of hers. Ran is puzzled by this.

==== File 340 - Time to Pick the Apple ====

Megure tells Jodie (which is ironic given that he just told her and other irrelevant people to stay out of the case) that he has just phoned Chujo's detective agency to see whether his employees knew anything about the case at hand; they said that they did not because Kisugi had insisted on keeping his investigation confidential. Furthermore, all data about Chujo's investigations are on his computer and nobody knows the password, and it is not any permutation of the four symbols in the dying message. Then they must refer to the killer's identity. Jodie and Sonoko say the murderer might be a quiz lover, because Japanese people answer quizzes by using symbols instead of "Yes" or "No". Megure again thinks that such deductions are nonsense and tries once more to keep Jodie and Sonoko away from the crime scene. 
<spoiler>
Conan steps in and says that Chiba should be a suspect. His rationale is that the first kanji in Chiba’s surname is "千", and a cross remains if the diagonal line on the top is covered, and something resembling a triangle remains if parts of the cross is covered. Similarly, he argues that Takagi should be a suspect because the first kanji of his surname is "高", which looks like a circle if the top and the sides are ignored. Sonoko retorts that what remains bears more similarity to a square, but Conan says that to save time, many Japanese simplify such “boxes” into circles (thus omitting strokes). Sonoko reprimands Conan and says that they cannot possibly be the culprit, but Conan ignores her and eyes Megure, who, by thinking about "omission", "save time" and "cover", figures out that the embezzler must be Bunta Kuniyoshi (the native form of this name is "国吉文太"). Conan smirks in satisfaction, and Megure explains to Sonoko and Jodie that the square refers to "国" with the strokes inside the "square" omitted in order to save time and that the other symbols represent the lower halves of the other kanjis. The upper halves are missing (this has the same effect as covering the upper halves) because they are on the documents that Kuniyoshi stole; therefore the fact that the square is slightly larger than the other symbols makes sense (this deduction also means that the enigmatic dying message is not what Chujo intended to write). 

Jodie wonders where Ran has been, since it is quite late already. Sonoko thinks she is probably phoning Shinichi to ask him what the cross means. Ran turns up blushing, saying that she is now aware of the meaning of the cross, and that whether Shinichi knows it or not is irrelevant, because he will not answer to such a question anyway. Noticing that Conan is gone, they all wonder where he is. 

In the meantime, the police rush upstairs to the company in search of Kuniyoshi. Upon finding him, Megure asks whether they can ask a few questions, and Kuniyoshi agrees to that. Megure tells Kuniyoshi about the police's findings, and the latter thinks that it is irresponsible for the police to label him as a murderer just because of what the dying message says. He points out that it is possible for the true killer to use Chujo's blood and finger to write that message so as to mislead the police. He further says that if they want to hold him responsible, then they have to show him the stolen documents. He adds that if he were the killer, he would have run away from the mall and burnt the papers instead of coming back to work. Megure is not able to give a response to Kuniyoshi’s self-defense, but Conan and Takagi come in with a reconstructed version of the upper half of the dying message. It turns out that the paper shredder in the office was spotted by them and together they have managed to put together the shredded pieces back into the dying message. Kuniyoshi starts getting upset, but this is only about to get worse for him: Megure informs him that it is only a matter of time before the police can reassemble the pieces of the other stolen documents and find his fingerprints on them. 

Knowing that the police have indisputable evidence of his crimes, Kuniyoshi finally admits that he is guilty. He says that he started diverting money from the company's account so that his family could live slightly more comfortably, and since he was unable to stop others eventually noticed. The case thus is solved and Conan rejoins Jodie and the girls, asking them to tell him what the cross means. Sonoko tells him to ask Ran, which he does, but at an unfortunate moment: Ran just finished writing a message ending with crosses to Shinichi, and she is blushing. So Conan’s untimely question startles her and she answers in panic that she cannot let him know (this also delays the sending of the message). Conan, confused, asks whether it means "cannot", and Ran, unwilling to let Conan know the truth, echoes his words and says that "cannot" is indeed its meaning. After this exchange, Conan and company leave the mall and while Jodie parts with them, she, in a delightful tone, again tells them to be careful of that stalker she was mentioning earlier. Jodie watches them go farther and farther and thinks "is it almost time to pick the apple?". 

During the night, Conan is awakened by the loud snores of Kogoro. As he checks his phone he finds that Ran has sent a message to Shinichi's phone. Conan reads it and becomes slightly disappointed at the fact that there are three crosses in the end; he erroneously thinks that Ran is implying that he “cannot” (do something) (i.e. that he is not able, that he is not competent). 

In a dark room only lit up by a computer's screen, next to a glass of alcohol, a smirking woman in babydoll is writing to Gin, saying "Can you tell me please Gin, do you believe in heaven? You must (i.e. I am sure that you will) say coldly: "It's not like you to be so silly (i.e. asking such a silly question is not something you would normally do). Until we lift our glasses filled with rotten sherry, please find the answer (i.e. please find the answer before we lift the glasses filled with rotten sherry). I can't wait... XXX". The woman then says to herself that a cross means a kiss and that it is a female's way of expressing affection, although it can also be an evil stamp of hatred. While saying so, she grabs a dart in an ashtray, kisses it, and slings it violently at a dartboard to which three pictures are pinned. The dart hit the center of the dartboard; as a picture of Shiho Miyano in lab coat is there, the dart also manages to pierce through the middle of her forehand. The two pictures below Shiho’s feature a happy Ran with “Angel” written in cursive and a thinking Conan with “Cool guy” written in cursive respectively. The woman, who at this moment is revealed to be Chris Vineyard, stares at the darboard and adds that the cross is "where the fatal silver arrow shoots" and "marks the target spot".

==== File 341 - The Hint That Was Against... ====

Conan eventually tells Agasa about Mouri's cases' police files having been recently stolen and then sent back by post to the headquarters. '''The Organization may be behind that theft, they may be aware that Shinichi is secretly helping Kogoro to solve cases, they could know he was shrunken by APTX, since Kogoro's fame all started when Shinichi went missing.''' Yet, who would believe a seven-year-old anesthetises Kogoro and speaks with a voice-changing bowtie ? Conan may well only be a boy genius, and it's not 100% sure the Organization stole the documents. Though, someone is discreetly investigating Kogoro, and Conan has something very important to ask to Agasa, the latter saying he's nothing but a search-machine for Shinichi, and not even a confidant. Conan answers he just didn't want Ai to know it (Vol. 33), since this would scare her once again, she would once again refuse to go out, and Conan promised her he would protect her and take things in hand if they were to worsen (Vol. 29). He doesn't want her to be frightened for nothing, but says they must keep it silent to her for now, since Ai isn't as strong as she wants others to believe she is. Conan is however unaware that Ai is eavesdropping their conversation, and inwardly calls him a moron. '''Conan still wonders what's the point for that thief carefully sending the documents back to the police instead of just getting rid of them.''' Is it to trap them or have them understand the thief knows what they're doing ? Or is it maybe a stratagem to scare someone in particular, Shinichi most probably, though it's a rather odd way to scare someone. Conan realises in surprise that Heiji is just next to them, having been secretly called by Agasa in order to be Shinichi's confidant, since at the moment the latter is racking his mind with the Organization matters. Agasa still wonders how they can catch such an elusive enemy, Heiji replying that if Conan came to tell him the truth and ask him something very important, this means either he's found out a paramount clue, or he just wants to retaliate now.

<spoiler>

Conan acknowledges he's right and tells them again about the Haido City Hotel Case (Vol. 24), during which they spotted Pisco, an Organization member who was tasked to kill Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a corrupt politician. Shinichi had called Megure telling him to bring and question seven suspects in a private room, since they were all given a purple handkerchief at a certain moment. Given Conan had found a purple handkerchief on the crime scene, it may well have belonged to Pisco, who could be one of them. '''Yet, Pisco was completely unaware of it, then how come is it that he had a purple handkerchief on him when he was questioned ? The only answer is that he had an accomplice among the six other suspects, one who was questioned before him and told him afterwards about it, giving him their own handkerchief. The six suspects are all very mediatised VIPs, but only one of them hasn't given some sign of life since then : Chris Vineyard, the famous American actress, daughter of world-famous actress Sharon Vineyard, and moreover a very beautiful and sly woman.''' Conan has investigated her so far, and she's the fishiest suspect, though he can't believe it for some reasons. Conan needs Agasa's help to browse a recent website created by Chris's fans to encourage her comeback on the stage, and he wants Agasa to pretend to be one of them, and to get as much information as possible on the actress. Conan can't do it since it would be strange that a schoolboy spends his time in Internet cafés searching for information on several websites. Conan says this information could be useful in good time. '''Heiji thinks that Conan is suspecting someone in particular in his entourage, which could be Chris Vineyard in disguise. Agasa thinks Conan is investigating Jodie Saintemilion''', and tells Heiji - despite Conan's refusal - that Jodie is Ran's new English teacher, originating from America. But Conan doesn't want such a hot-blooded guy as Heiji to know it since he would spoil everything by investigating her overtly and awkwardly. Heiji indeed suggests they both go to her place to investigate discreetly. Conan believes Heiji is completely unaware of the BO's dangerousness. '''Ai is startled by the "Chris Vineyard"'s name.'''

</spoiler>

The boys eventually come up to Jodie's flat's door, Heiji wondering how a mere English teacher can afford to live in such a huge and luxurious building, and Conan replying it's because she was born in a very wealthy family. Conan tells Heiji not to act recklessly, but Heiji seems to have no idea what to tell Jodie in order to account for their coming, and Conan can't believe it. They start having a row and Heiji inadvertently presses the door's ring. Conan has to tell Jodie on the intercom that he "came to pay her a liitle visit", and she's very happy about it, and asks him to wait a little moment. Meanwhile, they meet Jodie's neighbour Takai's friends who are leaving his place, all drunk. They seem to blame Takai for being so rude and nasty when he's drunk. After a very long wait, Conan and Heiji are eventually welcomed by Jodie, only dressed in a sexy robe, apologising for the wait, since she was having a bath when they rang. Conan explains he has brought a friend to introduce him to her, and she asks them to wait in the lounge while she gets herself ready. The boys say they need to go to the bathroom, '''and actually start checking out something in the bath and floor sink. Jodie overhears what they are doing behind the door, and smirks in satisfaction.''' Afterwards, she decides to take them to a restaurant since she has nothing at home to prepare a meal for them with. Heiji gets infuriated at her beacuse she tells him he looks like a foreigner who doesn't speak very good Japanese, but Conan tries to cool down the situation saying Kansai people are often very tanned and speak a very thick Japanese, such as Southern-American English for instance. Jodie is then told Heiji is also one of Mouri's friends. In front of Jodie's building, they notice Chika Shimoda, Takai's girlfriend who had left the latter's flat and locked it with two other men, is taking snaps of the building, towards the top. Heiji comments on it being rather odd, and suddenly, a phone falls down from upwards, followed by Takai's body, which crashes on the ground.

==== File 342 - The Flying Neighbor ====

The four people but Shimoda look at the corpse in a cold-blooded behaviour, saying the person died instantly. Jodie recognises her neighbour Takai and Shimoda starts crying in despair. She tells them Takai was drunk and sleeping on his bed when they all left, she would never have imagined he wanted to commit suicide. Jodie says he could have been pushed in the void from his flat by a kind of burglar just as well, but Shimoda says it's impossible : there was none in the apartment when they all left, and she locked the flat because Takai was too drunk to do it properly. Besides, there's only one key, and it's impossible to hear the doorbell from the bedroom. Then, it's nothing but a suicide. Though, Conan and Heiji tell her it's not necessarily the case, because Takai was speaking with a certain Kawakami on the phone just before dying, and one minute ago he had also received a text message from a certain Nakamichi. What's more, Shimoda was behaving strangely when taking pictures of the building in the dark, these are many peculiar reasons why the hypothesis of suicide can't be absolutely established for the moment. And a person who wants to kill themselves doesn't necessarily has a phone in hand. Heiji asks Shimoda to call her friends Michiya Nakamichi and Noboru Kawakami, and tell them to come along, while they'll also call the police for Shimoda to give a clearer explanation to them. Shimoda tells Megure she actually left Takai's flat to drive Nakamichi and Kawakami back home since they were far too drunk to drive carefully. She told Takai she would come back right after, which is why she locked the flat with his key. Afterwards, she drove back to Takai's, but before going upstairs, she took a few snaps of the building to show her friends where her new boyfriend was living. It is the first time she has come here, while Nakamichi and Kawakami already know the place. She intended to go back to Takai's flat right after, but never expected him to kill himself.

Shimoda, Nakamichi, Takai and Kawakami all work at the same place. They had come at noon to have a few drinks in order to celebrate Takai's promotion to the position of assistant manager of their company. They wanted to stay till late at night, but Takai was getting too drunk, and started to abuse everyone, then they decided to leave. He told them they were and will always be losers because they lacked something which would always prevent them from moving up the social ladder : insensitivity and ambition. Nakamichi later on sent a text message to Takai telling him never to forget "those at the bottom". They also discussed the "Hiraya case" : one of her friends and co-corkers Sumiyo Hiraya who committed suicide last month. Hiraya was a childhood friend of Nakamichi, and they met Takai and Kawakami at college. Takai and Kawakami already knew each other, and Shimoda belonged to the same year group as Hiraya. They remember Hiraya was a very kind and respectful person. She killed herself due to burnout, because she would work far too much. Probably because Takai had told her some day - though he was kidding her actually, and drunk - that if she didn't work even harder than the others, she would be quickly fired in the end. Takai seemed to have forgotten about that story, which is why Kawakami phoned him to remind him that he won his promotion out of blood, he is responsible for Hiraya's death, his career is being founded out of suffering and death. That left him speechless and he hung up afterwards, and Kawakami was then called by Shimoda and came back here at once with Nakamichi. Kawakami acknowledges he's more or less responsible for Takai's leaping in the void, though he never forced him to kill himself, then he's not a criminal. And he was drunk moreover, then Megure should just let them all go back home, since it's a mere suicide. The employees say they've actually already told all of this to Conan, Heiji and Jodie, who asked them to give them Takai's flat's key, and they're probably upstairs now, at the 21st floor. While the latter are thinking about the case, Megure and co, out of breath, turn up, too late, because the group already went into the flat, checked the place, and took pictures of it.

They all come in once again, Heiji telling Megure the door was indeed locked when they tried first. Heiji and co really thought to suicide too until they came in Takai's bedroom and saw the window near the bed was open and a curtain was fluttering in the wind outside. It's clear the victim jumped from that window, but Heiji attracts Megure's attention on the curtain in itself : it's as if someone had pulled it too much strongly, so much that it came off the rod and damaged it, and some hooks popped away. This means Takai was about to fall and then instinctively tried to grab hold of the curtain, in order to pull himself up. Therefore, it's not a suicide but a murder. Jodie appears saying it's just like in movies or novels, sealed chambers murders. She gives Megure her testimony and account of the events. Heiji says he's still not solved the case, but actually found strange impact marks left on the outside window pane, as if someone had hit it from the outside. Chiba then comes up saying he's got Shimoda's pictures' development, among which an enlargment showing Takai indeed grabbing hold of the curtain and about to fall into the void, and flinging his phone against the pane. Shimoda took this picture but couldn't see Takai, it was too far away from the ground, and it appeared like a tiny shadow on the picture. Jodie and co once more reflect about the case aloud, and Megure hollers at them, ordering them to let police work alone this time, commenting that it's been very frequent in these days that his investigations are being interrupted at some point by Ran, Conan, Sonoko, Jodie or co (Vol. 27, 33, etc.) - though Takagi acknowledges that cases are always solved thanks to them, at every time. Conan and Heiji still can't find out how Takai ended up outside his room, being forced to grab hold of a curtain not to fall. Shimoda just took flash pictures towards the top of the building, Nakamichi sent Takai a message a minute before the fall, and Kawakami abused him on the phone, but even though he'd have said "Die", Takai would never have done it. The victim may have flung his phone because there might have been a clue on it he wanted police to find, but actually Heiji checked it out and found nothing at all.

Jodie secretly looks at them as Heiji gets a phone call from an angry Kazuha, who can't believe he forgot their date at the mall. Conan tells Jodie he "doesn't know who Heiji is speaking with", and Heiji realises his mistake. He tries to promise Kazuha they'll do it some other day, but the reception is poor and they can barely hear each other. Heiji goes to the balcony to get better reception, telling Kazuha he's in Tokyo right now, and it's too late then. Doing so, he suddenly realises something very important. Kazuha says she doesn't understand a word he says, but is 100% sure they had planned a meeting, since she wrote it in her datebook. Upon hearing this, Heiji and Conan rush towards the other end of the balcony, and glance through a window at Takai's bedroom. '''They eventually find out the truth while Jodie secretly takes pictures of them.'''

==== File 343 - Who Are You? ====

Heiji suggests a reconstitution of the events in which he would give the police a hand, which would help them to find out who the killer is. He adds that, for the experiment to be conclusive, they need someone to get drunk and play the victim. Jodie is the perfect actress, given neither policemen who are on duty, nor Heiji and Conan who are minors, are allowed to drink alcohol. '''Jodie agrees, provided Heiji gives her some of her favourite drink : Sherry... Conan is puzzled about it, while Heiji finds ludicrous the way Jodie is getting drunk with it.''' Heiji then asks the police to leave Takai's bedroom for a moment while they're preparing the place for the reconstitution. Once they're done yet, they come out saying they "put Jodie to sleep" in the bed and left Takagi's phone near the pillow, and try not to wake her up, just like Takai's friends did with the latter.

<spoiler>

They start the reconstitution and '''Heiji sends a text message to Jodie''', just like Nakamichi send his's to Takai, which woke him up, and Jodie receives the message in the dark. '''She is startled when reading it : "Who are you ?". This makes her smile mysteriously. She then confirms she got the "cute" message, though Heiji refuses to tell Conan about it.''' Then, just like Shimoda took flash pictures of the top part of the building, Chiba, at the bottom, takes the flash snaps, using Jodie's camera. At last, just like Kawakami phoned Takai before the latter fell, Heiji phones Jodie, asking her to speak with him like Takai spoke with Kawakami, very casually and normally. '''He asks her to answer his text message, but first Jodie would like Heiji to tell her more about himself, who he really is too, and she asks him "You're not an ordinary teenager, are you ?" (in Japanese). To which Heiji replies "Yes, yes, (in English) I am a very ordinary teenager (in Japanese)".''' The call reception starts getting poorer, and Jodie says this has to do with them being at the 21st floor, they're very high and it's perfectly normal then that telephonic waves are getting rarer. It's just like at her own home when she's phoning. She gets up, goes to open the window on the left, and says she'll go on the balcony, and he'll hear her better. Suddenly, she screams in fear, asking them to help her. Megure rushes and switches on the light, only to find Jodie about to fall into the void, grabbing hold with her feet and hands to the window panes and frame, and he notices she's been tied to a rope itself tied to the bed, which actually prevents her from falling, something she was totally unaware of. Megure also realises they changed the place of the bed, which explains why Jodie confused the windows and thought she was going on the balcony, while actually she was stepping over the window overlooking the void. Jodie, just like Takai, is used to stepping over the window overlooking the balcony from the bed to have a better reception when phoning.

The murderer, '''Noboru Kawakami''', actually used that trick to have Takai fall into the void without the latter's knowing it. Usually, Takai's bed is placed just in front of the window overlooking the balcony, so as he would easily go to the balcony when phoning. He would get up on his bed, step over the window, and phone on the balcony. But Kawakami changed the bed's place, and Takai ended up stepping over the window overlooking the void, and falling. No wonder he fell then, especially if it was dark and he was hungover, and still drowsy. While the employees were all having drinks in the lounge, Kawakami pretended going to the bathroom, but actually went to Takai's bedroom, and moved the bed in front of the "void" window. Nobody would notice it, since Shimoda had come to Takai's for the first time, and Nakamichi would find no difference, in the dark, the windows being absolutely similar. Afterwards, Takai was put to sleep in his bed with his phone next to his head. Later on, Nakamichi texted him and Kawakami phoned him, and pretended not to hear him very well - or maybe it was the case - and forced Takai to leap unvoluntarily into the void. The police would never get it that Takai's bed was actually at the wrong place. Kawakami says Takai had actually told him in private to help him moving the furniture of his room because he wanted to change the layout, and Kawakami pretends he wasn't aware that this could be dangerous to Takai. But Conan presses a button on Takai's phone which plays a recording track of Kawakaki's voice saying "Farewell Takai, where you are going, you'll apologise to Hiraya". Heiji explains that before falling, Takai, who still had his phone in hand, recorded Kawakami's words with the "Memo" button, and then either he or Kawakami hung up (or when the phone fell on the ground), and Takai flung his phone at the window, hoping to scrape its screen and have the police understand he had recorded his killer's words, such contemptible words.

After the case, Heiji hands Jodie back her camera, apologising for using her as a test subject, but actually, to be very realistic, the reconstitution needed the "victim" to be completely unaware of it, just like Takai was. The police still believe it was very dangerous. Jodie says it was very pleasant actually, and asks Heiji's name, and Heiji asks her first to answer his text message. She says she is very skilled at speaking English, but Heiji doesn't seem to be very good at it as for him. She explains that, '''when she asked him "You're not an ordinary teenager, are you ?", Heiji answered "Yes, yes, I am a very ordinary teenager".''' '''She asked it in Japanese, and Heiji replied in English-Japanese, which means either he doesn't know how to speak English properly, or he wanted to answer in English. But the English answer to that "tag" is "Yes, I am (ordinary)", and Heiji said or meant "Yes, I am not (ordinary)". Japanese who are good at English usually answer to that "tag" by "Yes, I am (ordinary)" or "No, I am (ordinary)". Yet, Heiji confused everything and actually said he was both ordinary and extraordinary... Then either he's bad at English or he's lying, and Jodie assures she's a true English teacher. However, Heiji startles her replying, in excellent English, that he never pretended not to be able to speak English, he actually meant it in English, but silence is way better anyway than her funnily disguised Japanese. He explains Jodie actually speaks perfect Japanese, and pretends the opposite in order to be considered as a "poor foreigner", and not to be considered too seriously, while actually she is. Heiji heard her Japanese accent and it's clear she's forcing herself to speak "bad" Japanese.''' He then leaves with Conan, saying he'll discuss it more broadly with her next time, bidding her "Sayonara". Megure and Takagi comment on the fact that if they had known earlier Jodie was so good at Japanese, they wouldn't have asked her to take part to the reconstitution, or at least they would have explained her everything. '''Jodie suddenly thinks to something and checks her camera, only to find the roll is missing indeed - it's unclear if she expected it or not.'''

On their way home, Conan and Heiji discuss Jodie's "fishiness", since '''Heiji realised she took several pictures of them in secret. She also pretended to be having a bath when they rang, which is false : Conan and Heiji noticed it when searching the bathroom, the hairdryer was still hot, and there was still some wet body moisturising lotion on the floor. This means she had already taken her bath when they rang, and she was already dry, and she wasn't interrupted in her bath at all or hadn't started it at all. She actually needed some time to hide her "important things" and quickly wetted her hair and body again with hot water, along with the bath, and left some of her hair in the sinks, and all the rest, in order to make them believe she took so much time because she was in the water and needed to dry off, while it wasn't the case at all actually. Heiji says however he's got the roll now, yet he doesn't believe Jodie is such a bad woman, though she's quite weird. Moreover, he doesn't find any likeness between her and Chris Vineyard''' - depsite the "big breasts". '''Conan says he's probably right but can't help thinking about something :''' '''she's not that bad, as long as this is her true face...''' Heiji asks him to speak his mind, but Conan switch gears and advises him to go back to Osaka as quick as possible to meet Kazuha, since she's probably still waiting. Before leaving, Heiji recommends his friend to be very cautious, given '''that person who stole the documents is like an invisible enemy, someone who is able to steal classified police documents in the headquarters and send them back neatly as if nothing had happened.''' He asks Shinichi to call him if he ever spots shifty people around. '''As Heiji rushes away, Conan inwardly comments that he isn't suspecting only Jodie, but also two other people, of being very sleazy.'''

'''Alone in her flat, Jodie mysteriously and darkly comments on Heiji Hattori, son of Osaka's Prefectural Police Chief Heizo Hattori, being a very clever and interesting guy, and being, just like Shinichi Kudo, a private eye. Saying so, she uncouples her bathroom's mirror from its frame, revealing dozens of pictures among which two pictures of Conan and Ran with "Cool Guy" and "Angel" written respectively on each (the exact same as in Vermouth's/Chris Vineyard's room, Escalator Case, Vol. 34), pictures from the Mouri Agency, from Ran's high school or Conan's primary shcool, one picture from the School Play Case (Vol. 26) on which Shinichi is featured in his knight disguise along with Ran, Heiji and Kazuha, and one from the same case featuring Sonoko and Dr. Araide.'''

==== File 344 - The Storm of Booing ====

Agasa and the DBs have been to the derby between Tokyo Spirits and Noir Tokyo. The former won the match, and everyone is leaving the stadium towards the train station. On their way back, the DBs comment on the super-duper match they've just watched, and also on the supporters' constantly booing Ryusuke Higo from Big Osaka during a previous match against Noir some time ago. Ai says this is perfectly normal for a traitor, they have no place where to shelter at all. Higo "betrayed" his Noir team when he left them for Big Osaka, then it's probably well deserved. Conan says it's rather because Higo has still not scored any goals for five days now, since the tournament started. There's also a hearsay about Higo's possibly leaving once again his team to go and play in Spanish League. Ai says if this rumour were justified, then that would be the best he could do, running away from all this shame and suffering, to play in a faraway stadium where none will boo him anymore. Conan wonders what she is thinking to, while the DBs realise today at 5 PM there's actually a match in which Higo is playing. They watch it on a street TV, and notice Higo doesn't play properly, probably due to the thunder of booing in the audience. A passer-by, Kadotake Akano, says Higo deserves well his fate for having left his Noir Tokyo team, he adds traitors who fall down to hell never get over it. He then leaves laughing out loud, and Conan says Akano is a notorious superviolent hooligan who keeps picking up fights with supporters during and after matches, and he goes as far as encouraging the bullying, beating-up and sometimes killing of supporters he dislikes. His "Tokyo Hooligan" website prompted his blacklisting from several stadiums, fearing he might cause big trouble.

Conan secretly asks Agasa what information he's found so far about Chris Vineyard, and the professor says '''Chris's private life remains a complete mystery, while her mother Sharon's is known from everyone. The only time Chris appeared in public, except during filmings, was at her mother's funeral, last year.''' The event was so important it was even broadcast on Japanese TV. '''Tabloids' reporters harassed her with questions such as which school she attended, if she were on bad terms with her late mother, who her father was, was the man whom she allegedly had an affair with at the moment at the funeral too, etc. She only gave a "no comment" answer, and a reporter eventually asked her if this was because these truths could be detrimental to her if they were to be disclosed. She turned her back on her mother's coffin, and, smiling, she said " a secret makes a woman woman".''' Agasa remembers '''a very famous Japanese actress looking like Yukiko Kudo was seen among the cortege, but none seems to know who she was, since Chris's words had caught all and everyone's attention around.''' Conan stands wondering, and Agasa asks him '''if Chris Vineyard really belongs to the Black Organization, to which Conan answers if it were to be the case, she would then be a very, very problematic enemy. Agasa thinks Shinichi is still trying to conceal something from him, and Conan just says actually as an actress she's used to lie and fake reality, then she could lead them to red herrings very easily.'''

Conan suggests they all take the train now and go back home, while Ai is looking at Higo's match with some strange apprehension. The train is overcrowded with supporters from both teams, to the point they're all packed like sardines in a can. This is all because Genta wanted to take the first train to be quickly at home in order to watch Higo's match on his TV. Akano is also on the train, complaining aloud about the overcrowding. Mitsuhiko is listening to the match on his portable radio, and Ai puts her head and ear against his's in order to listen more carefully to the match results. Mitsuhiko blushes and tells her Higo's teammates now hesitate to pass the ball to him due to the audience's booing being unbearable now. Ai is saddened by this and asks him to tell her if there's any breaking news about him later on. Conan notices her state of mind, and suddenly the train brakes abruptly, and Conan sees Akano being stabbed to death by an unknown assailant. At Haido Station, the train is emptied at last due to most of the supporters leaving it for the subway, and Conan and co gaze awe-sricken at Akano's bloody corpse on the floor, next to a dagger.

==== File 345 - The Suspicious Supporters ====

Conan rushes out of the train towards a station manager, asking the latter to stop all trains immediately, and to tell his colleagues to control the tickets of every supporter leaving the station, since somebody was murdered by one of them in one of the train's carriages. Especially, they should keep aside those who bought their tickets before 5 PM, and he asks him to do it very quickly, or else the killer will escape. The police is called and Megure rapidly turns up. They recognise Akano, the infamous violent hooligan. It seems that the dagger found next to him, and which was used to kill him, is quite rare, with handmade embed patterns. Takagi called all resellers in Japan but they one and all told him it's something which was made in a foreign country, therefore it'll take a great deal of time to find the owner. Given the train was overcrowded, there are no witnesses of the crime at all. People started to realise there was a corpse only when all supporters left the train towards the subway stations. Nobody seemed fishy since they were all dressed in the same way, whether it was Tokyo Spirits or Noir Tokyo. The station manager tells Megure his colleagues kept aside three supporters, just as Conan had suggested him to do. Conan explains it's impossible to commit such a murder, among the crowd, and in a train, without having thought about it way beforehand. The murderer was probably stalking Akano, and bought a ticket in advance, which means before the end of the match, probably just before its beginning, so as not to be compelled to queue at the machines at the end, and in order then to follow Akano into his train car without any problems. They just needed to stand not far away from him, and stab him just before they arrived at Haido Station, when the train would brake abruptly, and people would be jostled, and would then one and all leave towards the subway. They just had to slip among them and pretend being a mere traveller. The culprit is probably a supporter, because otherwise people would have remembered their clothing. Moroever, there aren't so many people who buy their tickets in advance, then no wonder they're just three, most people just follow the crowd and buy their tickets at the same time, queueing, etc. And the match precisely ended at around 5 PM. However, Megure points at the fact they may have changed clothes in the station before leaving, or they could even just have gone to take another train in the opposite direction, or somewhere else. Conan says both suppositions are impossible : the restroom is located outside the station, then just after the "barrier" set up by the train station employees. And if the murderer had been to another platform, they would have been quickly spotted, since they probably would be the only one to wear a football shirt. And they couldn't of course change clothes on the platform, it would have seemed too much suspicious. The safest way to change clothes without being noticed at all was to go to the restroom located outside the station, and escape amidst the supporting crowd. They also knew that Haido Station is an important hub where many people get in/off the subways/trains.

The police are amazed, as usual, and Takagi asks Conan how come did he think to all this in a heartbeat right after the murder? Conan tries to protect hismelf claiming Agasa is the one who thought to everything and sent him to tell those things to the managers. Conan tells the police Agasa wanted them to question the three supporters kept aside. All three indeed bought their tickets beforehand in order to avoid queueing at the machines. Yet, they say it doesn't mean they're the murderers. Though, it's strange all of them got into a crowded train, since with their tickets already in hand at the end of the derby, they could just have caught the first carriage, instead of getting into an overcrowded one like all those who queued. Hazue Kira, a Noir supporter, explains she was in the central bleachers where supporters of both teams are mingled, and she got in a little fight with some Spirits supporters and wasted time, forcing her to take the next crowded train. Mitsuaki Funato, a Spirits supporter, had a phone call from his boss towards the end of the match, because he had lied to his boss about his absence so as to come here discreetly and skip work, and got severely told off by the latter, and the blaming was so long that it lasted until late after the match, and Funato even missed the goal of the "ace wingers" (Naoki and Hideo). Etsutoshi Aoba, a Noir supporter, got so shocked of the match's result, that he stood gaping in a blackout state for a long time even after the derby, and also wasted time. They can't remember in which carriage they got on, yet Conan is pretty sure they were all into overcrowded ones. First, Kira's left hand's ring left a mark on her right elbow because she was tightly holding her handbag's strap and zipper due to the place being crowded and therefore very suitable to stealing property, for a very long time. Then, Ooba crossed his arms for a long time during the fare, and left marks of his left wrist's watch on his right arm, due to him not wanting to be accused of having wandering hands. Lastly, Funato tightly held his leather bag between his hands and still has marks of it on all of his fingers, for the same reason as Kira, to avoid pickpocketing. Conan is almost sure it was like that, because the train was very, very crowded, and people could easily stand in the same position for a very long time, with crossed arms or without grabbing hold to bars or handles in the train, and without even being able to sit down. The three acknowledge this is all true, and Conan says this is what Agasa told him to say... Megure tells the suspects to try and remember as much as possible in which train car they were. Conan looks at the suspects' football shirts : Aoba wears Higo's "9" shirt, Kira wears a black Noir shirt, and Funato wears a black and white striped Spirits shirt, and Conan finds something's not quite right on them.

Ai is nowhere to be found, Mitsuhiko last saw her when she told him she was going to the restroom. Mitsuhiko laments that he's lost his radio due to the crowd movement, he hopes someone found it and brought it to the lost property's. Ai is actually watching Higo's match at the station's giant screen, and is shocked to see Higo's missed his goal, as if "the sky had abandoned him". Ai is joined by Conan and is startled when the latter tells her she's indeed just like Higo, leaving the Organization to go to another "better team", "betraying them" in a way. And just like Ai, Higo had a really good reason to leave them. Higo's father had had a secret child with his mistress : Rikuo Endo. Rikuo and Higo though got on very well, and decided to go and play together in first division in Noir Tokyo. Few people know that story actually, and they keep it secret. Shinichi was told that story by Higo and Endo themselves, he met them by chance some years ago, when he was in first-level secondary school, while he was playing a football match at school. They had come among the audience to see the match, and they told Shinichi he had the potential to join Noir Tokyo like they were about to do, his half-brother and himself. Though, this was all a trap, because two years after the brothers' arrival, Endo was told he lacked the necessary potential to stay with them and become a great player, whereas Higo had it actually. Endo figured out he was taken on for the sole ground of being Higo's brother and then being the only one able to attract him into their team, since they knew Higo was a great player, but Endo wasn't. Higo got it as well and soon left the team just like his brother did, and joined this latter in their new Big Osaka team, because he wanted to play there together with his brother. Endo became instructor there, and Higo player. It's exactly the same thing with Ai and her sister Akemi actually - the teams standing for the Organization and the "life outside the Organization".

Suddenly, their attention goes back to the screen as Higo gets knocked down by another player, but the referee doesn't seem to bat an eyelid, and the supporters rejoice when seeing him badly hurt, and keep on booing. Ai's mood turns darker when listening to the anchor saying "Higo doesn't seem to have any ally in this world, though it's a shame because he's so talented..." She leaves while Conan's attention is completely monopolised by the match, and he suddenly discovers something, looking at his derby ticket. He then inwardly declares he knows who the murderer is and that the latter has lied and that he still has the evidence of their doing. Ai goes straight away to the staircase leading to the platform just in front of where the DBs and Agasa are, and she seems to be preparing to take a train going in the opposite direction and leaving Tokyo...

==== File 346 - The Fake Supporter ====

Takagi tells Megure they’ve finished carefully examining the whole train and carriage where the murder took place, and brought it to the warehouse. Megure says now they’ll take the three suspects to the station to question them more thoroughly, though they refuse to follow him since he’s got no tangible evidence they’ve committed the murder. Conan and Agasa turn up saying the three suspects should leave in no case, unless Megure takes the chance to let slip away some important crime evidence.

<spoiler>

Conan impersonates Agasa saying the murderer is the « fake supporter » who lied to them. Kira says this might be Funato since he said « ace wingers » when referring to Hideo and Naoki, while actually this is a very old-fashioned expression, nowadays people don’t say « wingers » but « centre-forward players », modern football isn’t played using « winger » strategy anymore. Funato rationalises saying he’s quite old-fashioned indeed and isn’t such a football aficionado as them, he just heard about the « aces » and knew they had scored a goal, he didn’t lie at all. Agasa says it’s indeed the case, he’s only made a a language mistake, and the killer isn’t someone who isn’t a football fan but someone who hasn’t seen the match at all while they claim they have. He goes on explaining that the Spirits-Noir was a very important derby, so that thousands and thousands of people had come to see it, and then it’s very unlikely the murderer was among them, since they would have got lost into the crowd after the game, and would have eventually lost sight of the victim, Akano. The killer instead probably waited in the stadium’s bathroom listening to the match with a portable radio, and then quickly left once the game was over, in order to stand at a strategic place and wait for Akano to emerge, and track him down right after. In order to know who that murderer is, Agasa suggests they all once more listen to the suspects' testimonies. Kira claims she was in the central bleachers and perfectly saw the « aces »’ goal, which annoyed her a lot, to the point she easily got in a fight with Spirits’ supporters. Aoba claims he was watching the game in the bleachers’ curve section, with other Noir’s supporters, behind Spirits’ goal, and very perfectly saw Hideo’s and Naoki’s double goal. Funato was near the curve section, on the opposite side, among Spirits’ supporters, and, tough luck, missed the boys’ goal since his boss called him right at that moment, and just saw the players afterwards, hearing that both had scored the victorious point. The suspects believe Agasa wants to check if they’ve really been to the match, and they one and all show their tickets to prove it. The DBs say they were in the central section too and saw the goal but never notice Kira around, to which she answers it’s perfectly normal since there were hundreds of people, and their seats were probably far away from hers. Agasa asks her then in which direction Hide and Nao were running before shooting, and she says she saw them coming from the right, towards the left, and shooting then. Agasa says then according to her viewpoint, Noir’s goal is on the left.

Agasa tells Takagi Tokyo Spirits were the home team for the derby, and Noir was the away one, something which is clearly written on the game’s tickets. As a rule, in J-League, the home team’s supporters’ seats are mostly on the left according to the central bleachers’ viewpoint, and some of them can be seated behind Noir’s goal, which is on the left. That's the complete opposite for the away’s : they’re all on the right from the central and can be seated behind Spirits’ goal. This means in truth Naoki scored from left to right, in front of his team’s supporters, therefore it’s impossible someone from the complete opposite side could have very perfectly seen how it was all done, yet it’s what '''Etsutoshi Aoba''' told them. Because he probably heard it on the radio, he thought they had scored a goal in front of Noir supporters, since it was Noir’s goal, forgetting completely about the real seat arrangement in J-League, which proves he wasn’t seating in the bleachers but was instead in the bathroom or so. Aoba explains hismelf saying he did a language mistake just like Funato, he meant the boys were coming closer to the opposing goal, and that was just a slip of the tongue to refer to Noir, due to the questioning’s tension. He says he has the ticket proving he was seating with Noir’s supporters. Agasa says it’s false : if he really had been among Noir supporters with a « Ryusuke Higo »’s « 9 » football shirt like the one he is wearing, he would have been utterly lynched, and people would have remembered it - because Higo is considered a traitor by Noir. Megure says this is not tangible proof though, and Agasa tells him to look around Aoba’s underarm : since it’s quite weird to see someone holding a dagger in public, or to see someone taking one out of a bag, Aoba probably crossed his arms during the whole fare to conceal the dagger he had in hand, and given he’s wearing a T-shirt with short sleeves, the dagger’s sheath’s carved patterns left marks around his underarm, which is quite tangible proof. He had got into the train crossing his arms, and as the train was reaching Haido Station, he uncrossed his arms and stabbed Akano when the train braked. Of course, he wore a glove on his right hand, but it didn't prevent the sheath mark from being imprinted on the underarm. Megure tells the expert to take a picture of it, while Ooba comments on this irony: to avenge his brother, he had gathered material about football and had learned to be the « perfect supporter », which was completely useless in the end.

He says his twin brother was murdered by Akano one year ago. After attending a Noir match, his twin came back home covered with injuries and bruises, saying he had missed a step in the stairs and fallen down it. In the evening, he suddenly suffered a horribly painful headache and had to be taken to the hospital in emergency. He lost consciousness right after and died three days later, following a brain hemorrhage caused by a head trauma. Aoba figured out what happened when visiting « Tokyo Hooligans », Akano’s site his brother would often visit too, and reading about Akano's rejoicing about pushing someone « stupid » down the stairs just because he had been coming for quite a long time at the stadium. Aoba then went to meet Akano who got surprised « he was still alive ». Then he decided to avenge his brother’s death wearing the latter’s favourite Higo shirt, which actually kind of brought him bad luck, and which is maybe why Akano killed his twin that day. Wearing this shirt today was maybe a warning from his twin telling him not to revenge him, because on his way Aoba didn’t meet any Noir supporters, who could have blamed him for wearing that shirt, and if this had been the case, he could just have listened to them and probably gone back home, and things would have had a completely different turn. He is then taken away by police, as everyone gaze at him flabbergasted and thinking.

The DBs then wonder where Ai has been, and Ayumi spots her on the opposite platform, wondering what she’s doing there since the Beika train isn’t on that platform. Conan gets it Ai is fed up with her « traitor » life and wants to escape once again, forever, far away from Tokyo. A train arrives there and Conan rushes to that platform, hoping to stop her. Once there though, it’s too late, the train leaves, and Conan shouts Ai’s name in anger and despair. She has actually remained on the platform, asking him why he’s shouting that loud. She ironically tells him she didn’t run away, instead she had beforehand asked a station manager if he had found any radio around, and she was told to ask the cleaner on the opposite platform, who actually found Mitsuhiko’s radio. Conan seems relieved and Ai reminds him of his words to her not to always run away, and to face her fate, and also his oath to protect her whatever occurs. She realises Conan and co care about her a lot, and Conan is happy she took that decision, though she says she’s not the kind of girls in constant need of protection. Conan casually informs her Higo eventually scored a golden victorious goal for his team, and that all the booing and whistling at him were to prompt him to do his best, and eventually they got even louder after his goal, and turned into joyful and warm cheering-up. Ai coldly tells him she doesn't care a fig about it, she’s not a seven-year-old football fanatic like him. But actually, she secretly goes and watches Higo’s victorious smile on the giant screen, and seems to enjoy it a lot, and Conan spots her from far and inwardly comments on her being a liar, as usual, and that she is betraying her supposed poker face.

==== File 347 - Raining Deja-Vu ====

Ran has an important history exam the next day. Due to the many society activities that she has been taking part in, she has to mug up on it at the eleventh hour, while on the way to Yokohama’s Chinatown to have dinner. Conan is surprised that she is not getting carsick, and Ran answers that she is tougher than she looks.

It suddenly starts raining, and Ran starts having flashbacks of a scene that she is unable to date back exactly; the scene features Shuichi Akai looking daggers at her in a city unfamiliar to her, Akai standing still under the rain. Ran does not understand why she keeps connecting that scene to another one whenever she has it in mind, a scene where a slightly younger Shinichi is also standing still in the rain, completely soaked, with a warm but also melancholy smile on his face. As she dives deep into her memories, Conan calls her and asks her if everything is alright, and Ran again answers in affirmative. Despite this, Ran soon starts having a kind of bad fever and starts having blurred vision. She insists that it is not a big deal, but Conan decides to keep an eye on her anyways.

The subsequent pages of this file take place in the Chinese restaurant that Kogoro, Ran and Conan plan to have dinner in. At one table, four movie workers have gotten together to discuss what to do with their new movie when shooting cannot start due to the heroine having broken her leg in an accident. Kaizo Isogami, the film director, suggests they simply stop producing the “cursed movie”. Shiro Kawabata, the producer, however, refuses to give up on the sequel to such a blockbuster that they shot previously. The assistant director, Motohiro Ito, agrees with Isogami, reminding his colleagues that the actress has been refusing to shoot for a long time before changing her mind, and that her getting injured immediately after that cannot just be plain bad luck. And finally there is Keigo Kitaura, the author of the book on which the movie is based, who is even more opposed to producing the movie, and predicts that continuing regardless might lead to another death (“another” because someone died during the shooting of the first movie).

Kawabata, who does not seem to be moved by his colleagues’ pessimism, wonders if there is a young and beautiful girl skilled at acrobatics who can replace the injured actress. Kogoro, Ran and Conan enter the restaurant at this moment; despite showing the waiters their voucher, they are still refused entry. As Kogoro refuses to leave, a beefcake waiter approaches him and tries to make him leave by force. This prompts Ran to stop the waiter with a karate move, telling him firmly that unless an explanation is given, they will not be forced out. The waiter is scared by Ran’s move, and points out while sweating that the voucher only works on Sundays and public holidays. After Conan confirms this, Ran apologizes and prepares to leave, but she is stopped by Kawabata, who is deeply impressed and sees in Ran the new heroine of his movie. He subsequently invites all three to eat at his table and proposes that Ran take the leading role in the movie. Kogoro and Conan initially suggest that Ran refuses, but their eyes start sparkling after Kawabata points out the many benefits of being a famous actress (being able to know other famous people, to travel around the world etc.). Notwithstanding, before long, their minds change again: Kitaura warns that behind all the fame is the danger of being forced by unethical producers (he is clearly hinting at Kawabata) to shoot pointless love scenes for the film to make money, while Isogami comments that she might even end up dead during a filming session.

At this point, Kawabata asks his colleagues to stop scaring Ran unnecessarily, as “she is just about to agree to an acting career.” As Ran lifts her hands up to protest, saying that she has not made a decision yet, she inadvertently knocks Kawabata's soup bowl and chopsticks onto the floor, staining his trousers as a result. Ran apologizes and proceeds to clean up the mess while Kawabata cleans the stain with his napkin and comforts her. He then moves into the seat between Kogoro and Ran, telling her that they should talk about the matter privately and without Kogoro and Conan sticking their noses into their businesses.

After switching seats, Kawabata notices that someone has ordered Pidans and salted egg crab, much to his distaste (Kawabata is allergic to eggs). Conan, who is determined to stop Ran from even considering an acting career, sneaks into the space between Ran and Kawabata, and starts begging for curry rice. Conan knows that since this is a Chinese restaurant, curry rice will not be on the menu, so asking for it and being told that he will not get it will give him an excuse to throw a tantrum and plead with Ran to leave for another place to eat. The plan goes forwards, but Ran fails to realize Conan’s true intent; she thinks that Conan is just not liking the food. So she gives Conan her steamed dumplings, recalling that he once told her that he loved them. Conan is dismayed by this response, but decides to leave it behind and simply enjoy the dinner. He needs soy sauce and hot sauce to condiment the dumplings, and hence starts turning the turntable to get them. However, whenever he does so, someone else turns it in the opposite direction, resulting in several failed attempts, much to Conan’s annoyance. Ran eventually notices this and grabs them for him, but Conan remains embarrassed.

After a short while, the Peking duck that Kawabata has ordered is served. As Kawabata gets ready to eat the duck, he asks Ran about her favorite actresses. Ran gives him two names: Yukiko Fujimine (who is the mother of a friend of hers since childhood*), and Sharon Vineyard. Ran mentions that Sharon Vineyard passed away a year ago, but, fortunately, she was able to meet her before that, and found her to be a very refined person. Kogoro asks Ran where she met such a celebrity, and Ran decides to not tell him, saying that it is a secret. As for the movie workers, they start commenting on both actresses being indeed very famous and having epic careers, and Ito adds if "that person" were still alive, she could have entered history as well. As Ran asks him who he is referring to, Kawabata shrieks in pain, and drops dead in front of everyone.

Note: this friend is obviously just Shinichi Kudo, and “Fujimine” was the surname of Yukiko before she married.

==== File 348 - The Misleading Washcloth ====

The police arrive and start investigating; before long, they find that Kawabata was poisoned by cyanide, which was found in his mouth and on his plate, chopsticks and napkin. Since Kawabata got choked right after tasting the Peking duck, and there was no cyanide in the duck nor on the waiter who served it, the inspector in charge of the case deduces that the person who poisoned Kawabata must have been among his co-workers and invitees. The inspector then turns towards them for questioning, and at once finds Kogoro’s face familiar, although his first instinct is that Kogoro might be a former convict who has served his time in jail or a fugitive on the run.

Kogoro, naturally, cannot believe his ears, explaining that he is Kogoro Mouri, the famous detective. The inspector now manages to recognize Kogoro, and murmurs that he has seen “Bumbling Kogoro” on TV. As Kogoro corrects him, a subordinate of the inspector calls him and reports that except for Kawabata’s napkin, on which there is a great amount of poison, there is no poison anywhere else on the table (including the dishes) and on the chairs. Since Kogoro was sitting on the victim’s right, and Conan was on the left, the inspector believes that only Kogoro could have murdered Kawabata then, as it was very easy for him to switch his own poisoned napkin with Kawabata’s. As the inspector stares at Kogoro, trying to assert dominance, Kogoro starts finding the inspector’s face familiar as well, and after a subordinate calls him “inspector Yokomizo”, Kogoro exclaims that he must be Sango Yokomizo. Kogoro comments that Yokomizo has changed a lot: his hair is much shorter (and the hairstyle is much more normal now), and he is acting much colder.

The inspector, realizing the misunderstanding, clarifies (coldly, of course) that his name is Jugo Yokomizo, and works for the Kanagawa Prefectural Police, unlike his elder brother Sango, who works in Shizuoka Prefecture. He adds that unlike Sango, he does not have respect for and faith in detectives like Kogoro Mouri. Before Kogoro has a chance to respond, Yokomizo is summoned by a subordinate again; he informs him that the police have noticed a stain on Kawabata’s right leg. Ran explains that the stain was due to her accidentally spilling his soup on his trousers, which confuses Yokomizo, prompting him to ask who was sitting next to who. After a series of explanations, it becomes clear that originally, Isogami was sitting on Kawabata’ right; Kitaura was on his left, and Ito was in front of him. After Ran, Conan and Kogoro joined them, they decided to sit between Kawabata and Isogami in that order, with Ran on the immediate right of Kawabata. And finally, after the soup was spilled, Ran and Kawabata switched seats, and Conan, who was on the right of Kawabata, sneaked into the space on his left so that he could act as a buffer.

Conan suggests that the police check if cyanide is present on the stain on Kawabata's trousers, as this will allow them to find out if the napkin was poisoned before he switched seats with Ran, or after. If it was before, then Kogoro can be exonerated, as the poison on the napkin can then be explained by Kawabata mopping the stain up with that napkin. Yokomizo agrees to this suggestion, and the conclusion is that there is no cyanide on the stain, meaning that Kogoro still is the most suspicious person. Kogoro tries to defend himself by arguing that he had no motive at all to murder a man he had just met for the first time, to which Yokomizo answers that he may well have known the victim beforehand, and that it is peculiar that Kawabta decided to scout Ran on first sight. Upon hearing this, Ran gets tense and insists that Kogoro is telling the truth, and that they have never met Kawabata before. As she protests, Ran feels dizzy again; she staggers, and, while holding her head, leans onto the table, spilling a glass of water by accident. Akai’s image again appears in her head, and Ran is now sure that he met him on a rainy day. However, she is not able to put other pieces of memory together into anything coherent; all that goes through her mind is three faces: a blonde, mid-aged woman smiling mysteriously and slily under an umbrella, Akai's infuriated and scary eyes glaring at her, and a soaked-to-the-skin Shinichi trying to tell her something, with a warm and melancholy smile on his face. As Ran tries to listen to and understand the imaginary words of Shinichi, she is interrupted by Conan’s call; he asks her again, in a slightly worried way, if she is really doing fine. Ran says that it is nothing more than dizziness, and Conan sits her on a chair, telling her to rest a little and wait for Kogoro to solve the mystery. However, he inwardly comments that Ran is more than simply "out of sorts", and that she needs to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Conan turns to Yokomizo to tell him about Ran’s worsening condition, but the latter is interrupted by a subordinate, who shows Yokomizo an empty jar (possibly having contained cyanide), which he claims he has found in the restroom's bin. Yokomizo sees this as a further piece of evidence of Kogoro’s guilt (and Kogoro is, understandably, annoyed by this unrelenting stream of accusations), but Conan says that this proves Kogoro innocent, as he has not gone to the restroom once. He adds that when Kawabata switched seats with Ran, he took his napkin with him, for which Kogoro could not have switched it at that moment. Yokomizo is not convinced, and says there must be a way to switch napkins without anyone’s notice. Kogoro suggests that the murderer might have balanced a poisoned napkin on the edge of the turntable; then, upon spinning the turntable, the napkin would fall right near Kawabata. Yokomizo deems this hypothesis ridiculous, and dismisses it impatiently by saying that if the victim’s napkin was within hand reach, there was no way that he would use one that suddenly fell off the turntable by accident. These words remind Conan that when he tried to get the sauces, the turntable was being systematically spinned backwards, such that he could grab neither. He then tries to remember how the dishes were arranged on the table: if we list them clockwise, then it will be beef sauté, followed by stir-fried meat, salted egg crab, Pidan, soy sauce, vinegared pork, steamed dumplings, and hot sauce. Since vinegared pork was in front of Kawabta when he died, soy sauce would have been near Kogoro, and hot sauce near Kitaura. Conan thinks about Kawabata's severe allergy to eggs, and then stares at the Pidan and the salted egg crab, near the napkin.

He suddenly goes to ask a forensic agent if his team has checked every item on or near the table for poison. When he gets an affirmative answer, Conan whispers in his ear, asking him if they have checked "that" as well. This time Conan gets a negative answer, so he asks him to check that spot, and tells the agent that it is actually Kogoro’s request. Conan also inquires whether the forensic team has found unusual things on Kawabata’s napkin, apart from the poison. The agent answers that there is a soup stain, but apart from that there is nothing remarkable. Conan smiles confidently upon hearing this, and thinks to himself that the napkin must have been swapped only after Kawabata was dead; he believes that one of Kawabata’s co-workers did it, and that that person is the murderer. The file ends with Conan confidently gazing at the table, thinking that the evidence is probably still there, and Ran sitting at the table, gasping and still holding her head, feeling very feeble.

==== File 349 - Cleared Memory ====

Yokomizo eventually concludes the killer went to the restroom to soak his napkin with poison, and then came back, finding a way and moment to switch his’s with Kawabata’s, all the while being seated at the table, in broad daylight, in front of Mouri and co. Kogoro believes the killer used transparent fishing line and resorted to a rod and hook to carry the napkin and drop it near Kawabata…these are special techniques only movie workers know, though Yokomizo says this is utterly ridiculous. All of a sudden, Kogoro feels as if he’s about to sleep, but actually sneezes, and complains about the restaurant’s air conditioning being quite excessive. Yokomizo remembers his brother told him Kogoro would often make up cheesy deductions, but in fact it’s a trick to drop everyone’s guard, and he’s then immediately falling to sleep, starting his true deduction show, with a weird voice and a completely changed behaviour. He then turns unrecognisable, as if he were going into a trance. Though Jugo says his brother always makes a song and dances about it. Yet, they all remark Kogoro is falling asleep indeed, secretly anesthetised by Conan, who sticks a micro transmitter on his back. Kogoro/Conan says discussions have been running for too long now, it’s time to sit down at the same places everyone were when Kawabata died. Yokomizo will play the victim, and Ran agrees to resume her previous role, despite being exhausted and feeling very bad. Kogoro will now tell about the weird things that occurred right before the murder.

<spoiler>

Conan pops out saying someone at the table was constantly turning it backwards just to annoy him and prevent him from getting the soy or hot sauces. Conan had actually tried one to three times to get them, turning the table leftwards/rightwards to do so, but each time it would always turn backwards, and he would never get the sauces until Ran would grab them for him without turning the table. To make things clearer, Conan turns the table leftwards/rightwards, and this time none seems to « bother him ». Yokomizo asks Kogoro what’s the link between the boy’s stories and the murder, and Conan tells him not to bother asking Kogoro, since the latter told Conan there was no need to explain to him, given the culprit would eventually give himself away in a moment. Suddenly, a waiter brings Conan a Bao (Chinese steamed brioche), and Yokomizo asks him what the heck this means, the waiter answering Kogoro had asked him to bring Conan something to eat. Conan raises the Bao to his lips, and suddenly '''Kaizo Isogami''' hollers to him, ordering him to stop it. He goes on explaining his comrades there’s been a murder by poisoning at that table, and then there’s probably still poison on it, it’s dangerous for someone to eat anything after having touched the table. Yokomizo says the police have carefully checked the table and found absolutely no trace of poison on it. Kogoro says Isogami is right, there’s probably still poison on the table, Conan has laid his fingers on it « by accident », in a place human eyes can’t have access to, a blind spot. Yokomizo loses patience and orders Kogoro to speak his mind about the killer and poison right now. Kogoro asks Yokomizo how he would usually turn the table to get anything on it. Yokomizo says he would just put his hand on it and spin it. But Kogoro asks him now how he would do it if there were two plates of Chinese food next to each other on the edge of the table, just like the Pidan and egg crab, and Yokomizo replies he would just grab between his fingers the edge of the table between the two plates, and turn it accordingly. Yokomizo suddenly realises the killer put some poison under the table on that particular spot. When someone would grab it with their fingers, they would eventually get some poison on them and possibly die later on. Yet, Yokomizo says there were very fewer chances the victim would grab the edge of the table at this very particular spot, except, as Kogoro clarifies it, if he had in his sight two plates of egg meals he would loathe, and therefore he would immediately grab the under spot over which the plates are, and rapidly turn the table away not to have them anymore in his sight. If someone had blocked the spinning of the table, then the victim could even have touched that spot several times to turn away the table again.

Now Kogoro tells Yokomizo to tell him where the soy and hot sauces are when the egg meals are just in front of Kawabata : the soy sauce is near Conan, on the victim’s left, and the hot sauce is near Kawabata, who is sitting on the left of Conan, next to Ran. This means when Conan tried to get the hot sauce, he would have needed to turn the table rightwards, and then he would have prevented Kawabata from touching the spot, or would have possibly caused someone else to come in contact with it. The killer actually wanted to have the egg meals stand in Kawabata’s sight for a long time, in order to annoy and repel the latter, and have him touch the spot quickly and unconsciously so as to turn the table away, which is why he always prevented Conan from turning it first, until Kawabata had done it yet. Though, Yokomizo can’t explain why the killer did the same previously with the soy sauce, and Kogoro says the sauce was near himself at that moment and not near Conan, which means the egg meals were in front of the killer, the latter needing in fact some time to put poison under the table on the specific spot. This is why he would constantly stop Conan from spinning the table, since it would hamper him in his meticulous « work ». Also, the killer needed the poison to be added right before the Peking duck would be served. Indeed, Peking duck is usually eaten using one’s own fingers, and the murderer needed Kawabata to have poison on his fingers right before eating duck, and die afterwards accordingly. To do so, it was paramount to add poison on the spot just before, and the culprit couldn’t let anyone turn the table at that very moment, which would prevent poison from being added, and from being touched and then ingested by the victim. He couldn’t add poison before because it was very likely then someone would touch the spot and get poisoned, or that Kawabata would die before eating duck, which would have seemed too suspicious then. Therefore, the murderer is the person who had the egg plates right in front of him when Conan tried first to get the soy sauce, the person who had shouted to Conan, fearing he might get poisoned after unconsciously laying his fingers right on the spot : '''Kaizo Isogami'''.

The fact that there is also cyanide on Kawabata’s napkin - while it is supposed not to have been in contact with the spot ever - means that napkin is actually Isogami’s. He went to the restroom to soak it with poison beforehand, and then came back. When he saw Kawabata was mopping up a soup stain on his trousers with his own napkin, he also discreetly soaked his’s into his own soup bowl, exactly the same as Kawabata. When the latter died, Isogami rushed pretending to help him, but actually secretly took Kawabata’s napkin away, and dropped his’s instead, to make police believe he was poisoned due to the cyanide on his own napkin. Isogami deliberately put an enormous amount of poison on the napkin in order to fool police into believing it. He also had to use a napkin so as to put poison on the blind spot, he couldn’t use his fingers, it was too risky. He wanted therefore police to believe the napkin was really Kawabata’s due to the soup the latter had to mop up, yet Kawabata wore blue jeans, and when he mopped the stain up, he probably did it, as people usually do, quite vigorously, and then probably some of the jeans’ blue color bled onto the white napkin. Why is Isogami’s napkin having such a colour on it while it isn’t supposed to be Kawabata’s but his own ? Yet, this isn’t incontrovertible evidence, someone could well have left that napkin who isn’t Isogami’s to have him accused of the murder. Kogoro actually wishes Isogami would confess, given he’s still got his clear and good conscience, due to him telling off Conan in order to protect him because he was going to eat with poisoned fingers - which wasn’t the case actually since Kogoro had previously asked the forensics to clean the spot before the reconstitution. Isogami agrees, saying though he has « clear and good conscience », Kawabata didn’t, otherwise he wouldn’t have deliberately caused the death of Rika, the actress who died last year. It wasn’t a shooting accident at all : Rika was the perfectionist type who would always want to play her own scenes without any stunt performer, even the most dangerous scenes with biking for instance. Kawabata, as a sensible and ethical producer, was expected to strictly say no to it, though he would always agree, despite death danger, saying this would reduce costs and make things even more realistic. Ito says Isogami hated Rika though, he said she was nothing else but an ugly, arrogant, stupid and unskilled novice, then why would he seek to revenge her. Isogami says this stupid comment accounts for why Ito would probably always remain an assistant director : even if a filmmaker hates an actor, most of the time, they end up falling in love with the actor, by dint of always looking at them and following their slightest moves and reactions through their own lens, for days and months, no matter how unskilled or ugly the actor is.

As Isogami is about to be taken to the precinct by Yokomizo, he congratulates Kogoro for tricking him with Conan and the poisoned spot, but eventually asks him how he would have forced him to tell the truth if his « clear and good consciousness » had been absent and he had let Conan die. Kogoro says if this had been the case then he would have certainly used very bad, hurting, unbearable words to get Isogami to a corner. The latter says then he’s rather unlucky, he should complain to God who made such a scrupulous man out of him, anyway he doesn’t believe in God or whatever, and he would have loved to film Kogoro cornering him in that case. '''Ran suddenly reacts to the word « God », and pictures herself in a huge city with skyscrappers and Western-style buildings, in the rain, hearing a voice saying « Do you believe in the existence of God ? ». She remembers it to be the voice of a very calm woman, and she starts feeling very dizzy, sweating a lot, and she also hears the resonating sound of the rain, with Shinichi’s picture saying « Do you really need a reason ? ». Akai’s bleak and angry face also yells at her « Move it ! ». She pictures Sharon Vineyard in the rain as well, under an umbrella, telling her in a both sad and happy way « Angels have never smiled upon me, not even a single time ». Ran eventually remembers everything, where she met all those people and why Shinichi was there too, but ends up collapsing and passing out on the floor.'''

==== File 350 - Golden Apple 1 ====

'''Ran's fever is very high and Yokomizo decides to take her to Bay Bridge Hospital as quick as possible. She has a vision of Conan calling her name aloud in fear, but instead pictures Shinichi, and dreams about a case in New York, where she had been invited with Shinichi by Yukiko Kudo. She also comments on Shinichi being always here to save her, once again, just like that time, just like usual, every time she’s in danger. This always annoys her a bit, but she’s happy in the end.'''

Shinichi and Ran had actually taken the plane to Los Angeles from Tokyo, and Shinichi had solved a murder during the flight, his very first case (Vol. 21). However, once they'd arrived, they were told by Yukiko actually they'd all take another plane to New York, since she hardly managed to get tickets for the must-see opera "Golden Apple", in Broadway's Phantom Theater. However, the show is tonight, and they need to rush, especially because the person who got tickets for the three proposed to show them around the main artists' rooms, backstage, and they accordingly need to be at the theater at least one hour before the curtain riser. Yukiko realises she's actually one hour late due to her forgetting to set her watch fast to summertime. She's driving her beautiful Type-E Jaguar vintage car, and shows the teenagers what it is made of, stepping on it to arrive on time. Ran had been sleeping for a long time now due to the case in the plane frightening her so much she couldn't sleep at all afterwards, and also due to the length of the trip. She only wakes up in the Jaguar, in the back, at night, gazing at the Statue of Liberty in the distance, while Yukiko is driving with Shinichi on her left. She’s quite disappointed Shinichi hasn’t woken her up earlier, she wishes she had seen Brooklyn Bridge, but Shinichi says she was sleeping like a log and he didn't want to bother her. Besides, she can’t understand how Shinichi manages to find sleep in full satisfaction after having solved a recent murder, and he answers her none is always really satisfied « my dear Watson ». Yukiko tells them not to quarrel in the loveliest and most romantic place for lovers : Miss Liberty/Jiyu no Megami.

Shinichi believes her mom’s mild « English-lady-style » driving will never take them to Broadway on time. But Yukiko, saying Jaguar cars were designed to save their passengers, advises her son to fasten his seat belt, and Ran to do so and grab tight hold of anything she’ll find in the back, since she’s going to speed up…a lot. She starts hurtling down the highway, overtaking the other cars at full speed, Shinichi reminding her that, though that car drove the French 24-Hours’ Le Mans’ Race with its 276 hp, though a very skilled New York mechanic of her friends had a look at it, it’s been in reparation recently and she shouldn’t flog it too much. She takes a first tight bend and the right side of the car lifts, frightening both teenagers. Though, Yukiko seems to be a very skilled driver. Shinichi remarks police cars are here and there on the bridge, and her mom replies they’re driving on the other way, and they’ll only get it too late there is a road hog around. Yukiko asks her son to do her a favour, because the next bend is a really, really tight one. Shinichi gets her and takes Ran in his arms, asking her to grab tight hold of him while he sits on the open window, holding tightly the car’s door and bodywork, and lastly lying backwards, with Ran on him. Indeed, Yukiko’s full-speed-taken bend forces the car to do an almost 90° lifting, which would have badly hurt the teenagers if they had stayed at their seats. '''Shinichi seems very confident while Ran is awe-stricken, but trusts her friend.''' Once it’s over, Ran shouts at Shinichi, still panic-stricken, for saying it was « not so scary after all ». As they leave the bridge and highway at full speed, and eventually turn up in Broadway, they're arrested by a police car, and Yukiko is about to be in some great trouble due to an over 40-mile and more speeding. The agent says she looks familiar when glancing at her license and registration.

All of a sudden, Radish Redwood, a well-known police inspector of New York, who got helped many times by Yusaku in the past and knows the Kudos very well, along with speaking very good Japanese (his wife is Japanese), turns up telling the police agent he's probably already seen her in some previous case, since Yukiko is in fact "an undercover agent who was rushing to chase a suspect in the '''"Phantom Slasher" serial killer case''', but she seems to have missed him completely". '''A Japanese-looking man has indeed been murdering young girls in New York after midnight for a few weeks now, and that accounts for the high number of police patrols at night in New York at the moment.''' Radish tells the agent it's OK and the latter leaves, and the inspector starts speaking Japanese, asking Yukiko to thank "her" for saving her. '''And, tearing off his mask, that person disguised as Radish is revealed to be Sharon Vinyard.''' Sharon was waiting for Yukiko with the tickets, and when she heard the agent, one of her fans, telling her a yellow Jaguar is rushing at full throttle towards Broadway, and his comrades walkie-talkied him to arrest the female driver and the two teenagers inside, she decided to go and disguise as Redwood, that she also knows, in order to help her friend out, being compelled to buy a very expensive coat in the meantime to look perfectly like Radish.

'''Sharon and Yukiko met each other about twenty years ago, at world-renowned wizard Toichi Kuroba's (Kid's late father) make-up art courses, in order be taught how to perfectly play spy roles in movies, and hide their true faces behind masks or make-up, Sharon being very good at it, and having even taught her daughter Chris, a flourishing actress, that art, though she's been on very bad terms with her for quite a very long time. Sharon is a bit older than Yukiko. Shinichi confirms her mother’s disguise skills are not that good…being more carnival-like than spy-like.''' Yukiko wonders if it’s not too risky for her friend to show herself among the crowd, but Sharon says they’ll probably believe it’s a movie scene being filmed. Yukiko is very grateful to Sharon, but Shinichi doesn’t seem to know who this great American star is, and why she disguises herself as police officers.

'''Ran thanks heavens for having the opportunity to meet such a great actress, and Sharon is surprised to hear Ran believes in heaven or God or whatever. It starts raining and she takes out her umbrella. She adds if God truly existed, then wouldn’t all honest, hard-working people be happy ? She says "As for me, angels have never ever smiled upon me, not even a single time." The group doesn't seem to understand her words, and especially the both sad and happy way in which she said them.'''

Shinichi inwardly and retroactively comments on the tragic event that would come up soon and that he didn’t want to remember, to the contrary of Sharon's mysterious words.

Ran and her friends discuss how Kogoro san is always coming home late recently and is quite suspicious. Sonoko teases her and says maybe he has a new mistress. Conan has a another theory though and says that the food on his toothbrush and coming home drunk means that he is enjoying himself drinking somewhere. This enrages Ran and she starts bad mouthing her. An passerby scolds her and says she shouldn’t be talking badly about Kogoro especially since she does not know him. Shocked by this Ran replies that Kogoro is her father. The lady explains that Kogoro helps her for free with many cases and problems that she has and that he is a good man. Both Ran and Conan follow the lady home to see if what she says is true. They find out the lady is a landlord to an number of apartments, the lady invites them inside her home for a meal, meanwhile the doorbell rings and there stands a man dressed similar to Kogoro. Realising the man is an imposter Ran blurts out who are you and the man also asks the same question. The old lady is surprised and says this is Kogoro the great detective, however before Ran can blurt out this is untrue. The man pulls Ran’s hand and has a private word outside. There he admits that he is pretending to be the detective because he wants to please the lady since he’s going out with her granddaughter. Later Conan solves the case of why the TV is turning on mysteriously because the remote is under all the mess and the buttons is being pressed. While he solves this next door a murder has taken place.

==== File 788 - The Real Sleeping Kogoro ====
The deceased man’s name is Gensuke Denkawa, the three people claim that they broke the door down because the noise coming from his apartment was a nuisance. First they called to him but since he did not answer they broke the door down. All three have had a negative experience from the victim. As Conan searches the house he becomes more suspicious he finds that there are two remotes and one is a universal remote. He also finds out through looking at the old lady’s mobile that her real granddaughter is married so why is the man pretending to be her granddaughter’s boyfriend?

==== File 789 - The Kogoro Imposter's Great Deduction ====

<spoiler>
The culprit is '''Junji Hyodo''' because he was hiding drugs in his flat and the victim threatened to expose him. The man pretending to be Kogoro was actually an ex-pupil of the lady who was attached to her and fancied being near to help her out.

==== File 793 - Private Eye ====

Kogoro is invited to the pre-wedding party (taking place in a bar-restaurant) of Raita Banda, one of his friends in high school, and he attends the party in the company of Ran and Conan. Banda introduces them to his fiancée Hatsune Kamon, and, when prompted by an enthusiastic Ran, the couple reveals that they fell in love at first sight, as both felt that they were destined to meet and be together. Banda adds that when they got to know each other better, they found that their birthday and blood type are the same, and that they had had similar childhood experiences. Furthermore, they discovered that there was seemingly some sort of telepathic connection between them, as they knew what the other person was thinking even when both were silent. Ran is happy to see two people so suited to each other getting married, but the moment is soon ruined: a waiter (who is dark-skinned) accidentally drops a cake on Banda, staining his trousers and sports shoes. When the conversation resumes, the topic becomes Kogoro and Banda being overprotective in high school and not letting anyone approach their crushes (Kogoro’s crush was obviously Eri, and Ran is delighted to learn that Kogoro was once so), which slightly bores Kamon. She thus interrupts the two men and tells Banda that it is almost time for her nail salon appointment: she wanted to put on stick-on fingernails with a nuptial theme.

Now that his fiancée has left (after kissing him goodbye), Banda decides that he should get more involved in the party rather than sitting at a table. He soon gets drunk, and, as a result, fails to notice his phone ringtone until the dark-skinned waiter points it out. It turns out to be an email from Kamon; she is telling Banda that she will be back soon, and the email also contains an attachment, which is an image capturing Kamon and her stick-on nails. As Banda reads the email, his other phone also rings; this prompts him to head towards the bathroom. Since Banda hangs up right before entering. Conan deduces that the person calling Banda must be in the bathroom. Soon, a man with sunglasses on (despite it being evening) comes out; he proceeds to sit at an empty table, and tells the dark-skinned waiter (who happens to pass by) to bring a cup of bourbon. Conan finds this man slightly suspicious, and thus asks if Kogoro remembers him (for Banda has invited many former classmates). Kogoro replies in negative, but adds that it is possible that it is a former classmate that he never met after graduation.

The next few panels show Kamon parking her car in the parking lot outside the restaurant. As she leaves the car, she receives a call, and the caller tells her something which makes her suddenly frightened. We, the readers, will never know her response, as we are taken back into the restaurant at this moment. Presently, a drunk Banda attempts to hit the dark-skinned waiter, and while he manages to dodge Banda’s fist, he drops a glass cup, which ends up cutting Banda’s hand. His former classmates ask whether he wants bandages, and Banda refuses, saying that the only thing he wants is hearing from Kamon. Perhaps because of the telepathic connection, Kamon does call him at that moment. However, she says nothing more than bidding him farewell, which confuses Banda considerably. Then he looks out of the window and finds a car burning in the parking lot.

Kogoro and Conan also have noticed this abnormal situation, and while Banda stands where he is, petrified by the thought that it might be his fiancée’s car, they rush outside to see what is going on. But it is already too late.

The police are notified of the incident and Megure, Takagi and Chiba come to investigate. They confirm that the deceased is Hatsune Kamon, and find one of her stick-on nails under the burnt car and mostly intact. Since they suspect that the nail is there because it fell down during Kamon’s struggle against the hypothetical arsonist and murderer, they have sent the DNA material on the nail to the laboratory for amplification (possibly by using the PCR), hoping to identify the killer in this way. They also have sent the DNA contained in Banda’s hair cells (obtained from his comb, which was in the car) to the laboratory for comparison, and end up finding that the two patterns are nearly identical. Banda is horrified by this outcome, as he knows that it makes the police think that he has burnt his fiancée to death. The dark-skinned waiter agrees with the police’s suspicions, and suggests that perhaps Banda deliberately hit him and got himself hurt to cover up the fact that he had been injured during Kamon’s struggle. This angers Banda, but it is the man wearing the sunglasses that delivers a counterattack: he says that it is also possible that the waiter’s jealousy prompted him to kill whom he loved. Megure is confused by this tense exchange, and Banda, in order to explain the situation, lashes out at the dark-skinned waiter and declares him to be the secret lover of Kamon. The waiter, not scared by Banda’s accusation, replies that they did meet in private, but it was not an affair, as he is a detective and Kamon was a client of his.

And this is how Tooru Amuro makes his first appearance in Detective Conan.

==== File 794 - Genome ====

Amuro explains that since Kamon was not completely sure of Banda's loyalty to her, she hired him to spy on Banda. He continues to say that although Kamon can no longer prove this, the man wearing sunglasses probably can. Megure asks for the reason, and Amuro replies that he is likely a detective hired by Banda in order to spy on Kamon. He then describes the inconspicuous gesture that the man used in order to communicate with Banda as evidence of his deduction, and this forces the man (Sanji Haruoka) to admit that Amuro is correct. Kogoro, who saw Banda get somewhat intimate with various former female classmates during his fiancée’s absence, suggests that Amuro might have reported that to her, which caused her to break down and commit suicide. Amuro disputes this in panic, saying that they stayed in contact only by email, and that they only met in person once (which is why Banda chose to keep trusting Kamon and decided to marry her in the end).

At this point, Conan interjects this conversation among adults and asks why the fire burnt so fiercely despite many parts of cars being made from relatively fireproof materials. Takagi explains that while the car was indeed fireproof, there were a lot of inflammable items, such as bottles of paint and cardboards, in the car. Banda clarifies that those things were stored in the car because Kamon and he wanted to decorate the car before the wedding (scheduled on the next day) so as to surprise the invitees, and adds that checking the email communications between the couple would show that he is not falsifying. Megure thus takes Banda’s phone; he verifies that Banda is telling the truth, but also deduces from them that Banda knew both the approximate time of her return and the inflammability of the car, and thus could easily sneak out of the restaurant to kill Kamon. Banda, sensing that things are going against him, points out in an attempt to change Megure’s mind that the DNA patterns extracted from his hair and from the stick-on nails were not identical. To his frustration, Amuro says that his point is invalid: since the nail was exposed to water and soil (for it is an evening with heavy rain), the DNA was contaminated, and therefore one cannot expect the patterns to be exactly the same. Amuro keeps on going, which eventually infuriates Banda, and he throws his whole body at Amuro. However, Amuro is able to easily dodge him, and Banda ends up on the floor. As he gets back up, Conan looks at his shoes in curiosity and Kogoro calms him down and advises him to allow the police to do a proper DNA test (i.e. a test where the DNA amplified is extracted from the mucus in his mouth) so that he can prove his innocence. Banda reluctantly agrees, and Ran remarks that thanks to advances in biotechnology, DNA can now reveal the identity of a person, meaning that anyone trying to fake his (or her) identity by changing appearance will be immediately exposed; Conan is made speechless by this comment (although he knows that Ran is definitely not thinking about him and Shinichi) and can do nothing but agree by saying “yeah, yeah” weakly.

Takagi reports to Megure that he has inspected all possible exits from the restaurant. He details that the backdoor was locked, that people could go out through the front door (and risk being seen by other guests) and that theoretically people could climb the window in the bathroom. However, since the area below the window is muddy and watery, anyone exiting through here would leave footprints on the outside and get mud on their shoes and trousers (however, there is no footprint and no guest’s garment has been stained by mud). Megure, who thinks that Takagi’s findings indicate that nobody has left the restaurant for the parking lot, asks the detectives whether they know of anything that might drive Kamon towards suicide. Haruoka can only think of things related to Banda, but Amuro says that he noticed one instance when Kamon was visibly worried. He recounts that by doing some background research about Banda, he found that both Banda and Kamon were orphaned during infancy, with their parents dying in a hotel fire and themselves being rescued from the burning building. They were then sent to an orphanage, and since their parents were not identified both were given new names. Banda was soon adopted by a family, but Kamon remained in the orphanage until adulthood. Megure does not understand why this might worry Kamon, and Amuro says that he does not either, and that all he knows is that when he informed her of this, Kamon said that she would look into it. Conan, on the other hand, is alarmed by Amuro’s words, and asks Ran seriously whether it is the case that Kamon is shorter than her. Ran responds in affirmative, and adds that Kamon is probably around 150 cm tall (Conan thinks to himself that the average height of Japanese female adults is 159 cm).

Presently, Chiba tells Megure that according to the coroner, there are only three stick-on nails on the body, which means that one remains to be found. Conan thinks that he knows where the missing stick-on nail is, and thus heads out (to the parking lot) to look for it. He manages to find the nail under a van, and notices that it has not been contaminated by the rain (which has already stopped) like the other ones. He reports this to a security guard (or policeman?) nearby and tells him to take it carefully to Megure. Then Conan wanders around the parking lot, thinking that if his deduction is correct, then the truth behind Kamon’s death will be a very saddening one.

==== File 795 - Destined to Re-enter the Flames ====

The result of the DNA test is out: the DNA extracted from the comb has exactly the same pattern as the DNA extracted from Banda’s mucus, meaning that the DNA attached to the nail is extremely likely to be Banda’s. The police therefore tell Banda that they must take him to the police station for further questioning, and since Kogoro tells Banda that he can do nothing with this unfortunate development, Banda has no choice but to go resignedly. It starts raining heavily again, and as police’s vehicles are parked quite far from the restaurant, Takagi tells him to get ready to be soaked. Banda says that he does not care about the rain, and as he is about to walk out, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and orders Banda to stop. Conan asks whether Banda can really leave like that, and Banda, not knowing where Kogoro is coming from, responds that there is no other remedy, that he has to go to the police station and strive to prove his innocence.

<spoiler>
Upon hearing this, Conan announces that Banda definitely did not murder his fiancée. Amuro, who has been pushing for the murder theory for a while now, is surprised; so is Megure, who asks Kogoro why he can claim that Banda is not guility soley based on his willingness to collaborate with the investigation. Conan says that the only possible exit was the front door, and that people in the restaurant would certainly notice if Banda went out from there. Upon hearing this, Amuro smiles confidently and argues that since everybody saw Banda’s outfit during his speech at the party’s beginning, if he had changed in the bathroom before sneaking out, then nobody would have thought that it was him. He carries on saying that by wearing clothes and trousers that can be easily cut up and washed away in the toilet, the evidence can easily be destroyed and will never be found (unless the police search the sewage system as well, but that is unlikely). Conan agrees with Amuro’s inferences, but points out that he could not have cut shoes as well. Amuro contends that there was no need to change shoes, since nobody would have paid attention to them anyways. Conan agrees, and then orders Banda to take off his sports shoes, claiming that those are the best piece of evidence of his innocence. Banda obeys; Takagi carefully examines the right shoe and finds that there are traces of cream on the underside. Ran says that Banda must have gotten the cream when Amuro accidentally dropped the cake, and Takagi shouts excitedly that this is a piece of evidence because leaving the restaurant entails contact with the watery ground, which would wash the cream away completely. Conan says that when he first noticed this, he thought that Banda had used some sort of trick to change shoes in secret (and kept the cream on the other pair of shoes as evidence that he had never left the restaurant). However, he changed his mind later, as the cake drop was not planned by Banda, he never mentioned this critical piece of evidence to Kogoro and he did not care to step into the heavy rain and have the evidence destroyed (i.e. Banda’s lack of awareness that the cream is important proves that he is innocent).

Amuro, seeing that his deduction is being torn apart, demands to know how Kogoro would explain the issue with the DNA. Conan says that nobody has considered the possibility that the DNA material on the stick-on nail belongs to Kamon herself. Amuro fights back in a contemptuous tone that unless Kamon is related to Banda, the probability of her DNA being so similar to Banda’s is technically zero; he adds that while males have two different sex chromosomes (one X, one Y), females have two identical ones (two X), which can be easily spotted in the laboratory. Conan asks rhetorically what if the parts of the DNA contaminated by rain and soil include the sex chromosomes, and when Amuro protests and demands an answer to the miniscule probability, Conan reveals that Banda and Kamon are twins. He points to the birthday and blood type coincidences, as well as the telepathic connection between the two. Banda thinks that this is no proof of them being twins, so Conan informs him of Amuro’s background research, which leaves him in absolute astonishment. Megure enquires whether twins have the same DNA sequence, and Takagi tells him that this is the case for monozygotic twins (see note below).
Takagi adds that in most cases, monozygotic twins are of the same gender. Amuro, who seems to have accepted that his deduction is flawed, helps Conan in his deduction for the first time. He explains that when the zygote has an X and a Y chromosome (i.e. if the zygote is “masculine”) and after the first division (into two cells) one of the daughter cells loses the Y chromosome somehow, then the twins will have opposite genders given that the two daughter cells develop independently from each other. In this case the girl is said to have Turner syndrome, because her having only one X chromosome (instead of the normal two) causes anomalies during her growth, which ultimately leads to traits such as shortness.

Banda still refuses to accept that Kamon and he are twins, and tries to cling onto anything that might disprove Conan’s whole theory about Kamon’s death. It is in this mindset that he asks why Kamon’s own DNA would be found on her stick-on nails. Conan says that when Kamon said that she would “look into it”, she must have meant that she would request a specialized institution to test whether Banda and she are twins. Conan hypothesizes that she received a call from that institution while in the parking lot, and was subsequently notified of the result: that they are indeed twins and thus can never marry each other. As a consequence, she must have begun crying in sadness and disbelief while scratching her face frantically, leaving skin on all the stick-on nails and causing two of them to fall off (one of them was carried away by the wind to another part of the parking lot). Conan concludes by saying that the police have found the second, uncontaminated stick-on nail, and that the result of the DNA test from this nail will clear everything up.

As soon as Conan finishes, Megure receives a call from the laboratory. After hanging up, he announces gravely that the result is that with the exception of the sex chromosomes, the DNA found on the stick-on nail is identical to Banda’s DNA. In addition, it is identical (with no exception) to the DNA that, after a large amount of effort, was extracted from Kamon’s burnt body. '''These confirm that Kamon committed suicide and that the couple is indeed twins bonded forever by blood'''. Banda, who is well aware of these implications, lets out one after another shriek, and sobs while repeating his fiancée’s name, again and again. Outside, the rain is still pouring down relentlessly.

A few days later, Amuro, who is now an employee of café Poirot, tells Kogoro that he is willing to be his apprentice. Amuro explains that after hearing Kogoro’s deduction in Banda’s case, he felt that his deductive skills were childish and underdeveloped, and thus wanted to start at zero, stay near Kogoro and learn from him. Kogoro says that he has no plan of accepting apprentices, but after Amuro promises to pay him a large amount of tuition, he changes his mind. Kogoro then happily says that Amuro has been accepted and that he can now call him “Mouri-sensei”, and Amuro, looking equally happy, replies “understood, Mouri-sensei”. Ran looks at the two men puzzledly while Conan thinks to himself that yet another troublesome figure has entered his circle.

Note: in monozygotic twins, only one egg is fertilized, and both twins develop from that egg (the opposite is the concept of “dizygotic twins”, which happens when there are two fertilized eggs and each twin develops from one egg). In most cases, the zygote (i.e. fertilized egg) undergoes cell division repeatedly to make one human baby, but it also can be the case that during the first divisions, the “daughter cells” separate into two clusters and they develop independently from each other to give rise to two human babies.

'''{{nihongo|Yui Uehara|上原由衣|Uehara Yui}}''', formerly known as '''{{nihongo|Yui Torada|虎田由衣|Torada Yui}}''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Yui Uehara grew up together in a village somewhere in Nagano prefecture. She was close to [[Kansuke Yamato]] and to the popular village policeman Kuroto Kai. Inspired by him, Yui joined the police force in her early twenties. Soon after that, Officer Kai died under mysterious circumstances, prompting Yui (and Yamato, who was also close to Officer Kai and became a policeman, following his example) to investigate the case. They were not able to make much progress during the next five years (presumably), until Yamato heard that a thief arrested by Kai two years before his death broke out of jail. Yamato, believing that he had something to do with Officer Kai’s death, went after him personally, but while on the chase he suffered a deadly accident, and subsequently went missing. As Yui thought that Yamato was dead, she thought that she must do more to investigate the case, and thus married Yoshiro Torada (and changed her surname as a result), whose family she believed had something to do with Officer Kai’s death. Yui did not really love her husband, although his feelings for her were genuine.

Despite spending a year in the Torada household, she was not able to obtain sufficient information to find the truth, and the case was resolved only when another string of mysterious murders occurred (with her husband winding up as the first victim) that that case was solved. Yui contributed to solving the case, and Yamato, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] also were able to figure the case out.

Soon after the resolution of the case, and after Yamato urged her to do so, Yui rejoined the police force, and changed her surname back to “Uehara” (she did feel badly for her husband though). She is now an assistant police inspector working under Yamato at Nagano’s prefectural police headquarters.

== Personality ==
Yui is a friendly and considerate person, which offsets Yamato's harsh appearance and behavior, complementing the two so different personalities. It is frequently hinted by her behavior that she is in love with him, but his professionalism has as yet prevented any serious personal engagement, although Yamato himself seems not reluctant to it.

Yui, just like Yamato, is very aware of Conan's intelligence, telling Conan about how Yamato believes that he is more intelligent than [[Kogoro Mouri]], sneakily trying to get Conan involved in investigating the crime.<ref name=UehCon>[[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|Episodes 558-561: The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall]]</ref>

* Yui makes her first appearance in this case. Her husband has just died a few days ago, and her surname is still “Torada”.
* When Yamato calls her “Uehara” and orders her to tell him the time (as he needs to know when exactly they discovered the body), Yui does so without thinking twice, and it is only after she answered that both suddenly realize that she is no longer his subordinate. Yamato apologizes, as Yui says that it is ok.
* Yui, knowing that [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] likes Hattori, advises her to not follow her path: Yui waited for too long, and before she was able to confess her feelings he was already gone, resulting in irreversible and immeasurable losses to her.
** Here, Yui is probably regretting over the fact that as she hesitated and did not confess to Yamato in time, he went missing, which (indirectly) drove her to marry Yoshiro Torada, which eventually resulted her current status as a widow.
* Yamato announces that Yui (and six other people, including some from the Torada family) are suspects, and orders them to go home and pray before he makes an arrest. Yui, hearing Yamato’s cold words, says “Kan-chan, you no longer call my name as you did before” with some sorrow on her face.
* Yamato replies that due to the case, instead of treating her as a childhood friend or as a former subordinate, he needs to see her as a suspect and as the widow of a victim.
* Yui is later shown to be looking at a photo taken with Yamato and Officer Kai when they were both still kids. Yui recalls asking Officer Kai to marry her, and remembers that he replies, amused: “Spare me of this, please! Kansuke would loathe me!”
* Yui is able to solve the case and predict that the culprit’s next target is Akira Tatsuo. She thus goes to his household to protect him, but is not anticipating the culprit to bring subordinates. Yamato, Conan and Heiji, who are anticipating this, are able to save her and Akira Tatsuo and defeat the culprit and her men.
* After the case concludes, Yui tells Yamato why she married Yoshiro Torada, adding that she feels sorry for him. Yamato tells that she should rejoin the police force once she feels ready, and jokes that their superintendent misses the coffee that she makes (despite it being terrible).

=== Dangerous Couple Case (Manga: [[Volume 65#Dangerous Couple Case|680-681]], Anime: [[A Dangerous Party of Two|557]]) ===
* Yui and Yamato, on their way to Tokyo, encounters [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] and [[Ai Haibara|Ai]] (they do not know that they know Conan) stranded in the forest of Yamanashi. They offer them a ride to Tokyo, which Agasa and Ai accept gracefully.
* After getting on the car, Ai senses that something is not right: Yui and Yamato talk suspiciously, there are bloodstains and bullet holes everywhere in the car, and their faces are hidden behind sunglasses. Ai's conclusion is that they might be from the Black Organization; Conan clears up the misunderstanding eventually.
* Yui reveals that she has rejoined Nagano’s police force already and that just a few months into the job, both she and her car are already bruised.
* It is revealed at the end of the case that they are coming to Tokyo to ask Kogoro for help on a difficult case. In order to convince him to go to Nagano to assist them, they have brought him some local snacks.

=== Red Wall Case (Manga: [[Volume 65#Red Wall Case|682-686]], Anime: [[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|558-561]]) ===
* Yui tells Conan secretly that it seems that Yamato went to Tokyo to seek Kogoro's help just for Conan to come along as well. She believes that Yamato has gone to such length to seek help because Morofushi is investigating the case as well, and since they have been rivals since childhood, he does not want to lose to Morofushi under any circumstances.
* Later, Yui seems to realize that the real purpose for Yamato to head to Tokyo is that he wants Conan to assist Morofushi, so that Morofushi can figure out the case more easily (and be promoted and come back to the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters).
* Yui expands on the accident that made Yamato lose his left eye: after he went missing for a few days, most people in the police headquarters thought that he was dead. But Morofushi did not give up, and decided to pursue the escaped thief that Yamato had been chasing, although this was going against his superiors' orders.
* In the end, after crossing prefectural borders, Morofushi managed to track down and arrest the thief, who revealed that Yamato had gone missing in an avalanche. But it turns out that Yamato was not dead, as Morofushi was later able to find him in a hospital.
* Yui is ordered by Yamato to follow Morofushi closely as he investigates the case. This ends up saving Morofushi's life when he is struck unconscious by the culprit and the mansion that he is in is set on fire.
* Near the end of the case, in order to fool the culprit and facilitate arresting him, Yui and Yamato are disguised as a couple.

=== Eye for an Eye (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|783-784]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|653-654]]) ===
* Kazuha, following Heiji's request, calls Yui to ask her about the case that Yamato, Morofushi and she are investigating, as that case has a lot to do with the one that Heiji and Conan has on hand.
* Yui agrees to share information about their case, saying that since they are detectives that have done favours to the police, she will break the rules for them. Later, Heiji is able to get crucial information from Yamato.

=== The Red Woman (Manga: [[Volume 83#The Red Woman|873-875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===
* As both Yamato and Morofushi are occupied, she comes to the investigate the murder case without them. She is not able to make much progress on the case, and the truth is finally revealed by [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], Conan, Yamato and Morofushi.

=== Kawanakajima Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Kawanakajima Murder Case|913]]-[[volume 87#Kawanakajima Murder Case|917]], Anime: [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|810-812]]) ===
* Since Yui cannot figure out the truth behind the case, she is misled to believe that Yamato is in grave danger and that his feud with Morofushi is real.
* After the case is solved, Yui is relieved, but thinks that Yamato could have told her about their plans to mislead the culprit beforehand to not make her worry.
* Yamato thinks that she is talking way to much and shouts at her to make her shut up, which prompts her to say bitterly that she will not be so concerned with him anymore, as he does not want attention from a widow anyways.
* In a rare act, Yamato smiles and replies warmly that the huge scar on his face puts him in a similar situation. Yui blushes after hearing this.

=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===
* Yui appears at the end with Yamato and Morofushi to investigate the crime scene.

=== Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case|1082-1084]], Anime: TBD) ===
* At the end of the case, the protagonists are at the hut that [[Yamamura Misao|Yamamura]] and [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Hiromitsu]] built together when they were kids. Yamamura discovers that Hiromitsu left him a message, and Yui is curious about it and wants to know what it says. Knowing that Morofushi and Yamamura are trying having a discussion about the message and want some privacy, Yamato changes topic to distract Yui.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== The Raven Chaser (Movie: [[The Raven Chaser|13]]) ===

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Yoshiro Torada ===
Yoshiro had been Yui's husband before he died in a tornado. She married him in order to investigate his family's connections to the death of Kuroto Kai, a police officer that she admired. He loved her, and while this was not reciprocated, Yui does seem to feel bad about her motives for marrying him and his death.

=== Kansuke Yamato ===
Kansuke Yamato cares very deeply for his subordinate and childhood friend Yui, although, superficially, this does not seem to be the case at all, due to Yamato's short-tempered and serious personality. Yui cares for him in return and seems to have feeling for him, always affectionately referring to him as "Kan-chan" (he always scolds her for doing so while on duty). In the LOVE PLUS Super Digest Book, it reveals that Yui likes inspector Yamato for his passion and kindness.

== Name origin ==
The two kanjis for the name "Yui" (由衣) is derived from {{nihongo|Princess Yu|由布姫|Yū-hime}} and {{nihongo|Princess Koi|湖衣姫|Koi-hime}}, the two names used in novels for the daughter of [[Wikipedia: Suwa Yorishige|Suwa Yorishige]], head of the Suwa clan. Her last name, Uehara, comes from Uehara castle, the main stronghold of the Suwa clan.

'''{{nihongo|Yui Uehara|上原由衣|Uehara Yui}}''', formerly known as '''{{nihongo|Yui Torada|虎田由衣|Torada Yui}}''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Yui Uehara grew up together in a village somewhere in Nagano prefecture. She was close to [[Kansuke Yamato]] and to the popular village policeman Kuroto Kai. Inspired by him, Yui joined the police force in her early twenties. Soon after that, Officer Kai died under mysterious circumstances, prompting Yui (and Yamato, who was also close to Officer Kai and became a policeman, following his example) to investigate the case. They were not able to make much progress during the next five years (presumably), until Yamato heard that a robber arrested by Kai two years before his death broke out of jail. Yamato, believing that he had something to do with Officer Kai’s death, went after him personally, but while on the chase he suffered a deadly accident, and subsequently went missing. As Yui thought that Yamato was dead, she thought that she must do more to investigate the case, and thus married Yoshiro Torada (and changed her surname as a result), whose family she believed had something to do with Officer Kai’s death. Yui did not really love her husband, although his feelings for her were genuine.

Despite spending a year in the Torada household, she was not able to obtain sufficient information to find the truth, and the case was resolved only when another string of mysterious murders occurred (with her husband winding up as the first victim) that that case was solved. Yui contributed to solving the case, and Yamato, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] also were able to figure the case out.

Soon after the resolution of the case, and after Yamato urged her to do so, Yui rejoined the police force, and changed her surname back to “Uehara” (she did feel badly for her husband though). She is now an assistant police inspector working under Yamato at Nagano’s prefectural police headquarters.

== Personality ==
Yui is a friendly and considerate person, which offsets Yamato's harsh appearance and behavior, complementing the two so different personalities. It is frequently hinted by her behavior that she is in love with him, but his professionalism has as yet prevented any serious personal engagement, although Yamato himself seems not reluctant to it.

Yui, just like Yamato, is very aware of Conan's intelligence, telling Conan about how Yamato believes that he is more intelligent than [[Kogoro Mouri]], sneakily trying to get Conan involved in investigating the crime.<ref name=UehCon>[[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|Episodes 558-561: The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall]]</ref>

Kazunobu Chiba and Naeko Miike

2023-06-25T16:39:21Z

Hoshi30: major changes

The romantic relationship between [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Naeko Miike]].

== Relationship analysis ==
[[File:Chiba being reminded of the younger Miike.jpg|thumb|200px|Chiba being reminded of the younger Miike.]]
[[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Naeko Miike]] were childhood friends and attended Teitan Elementary together (until around 13 years ago); they were both in the school broadcasting committee (Chiba joined because he had a strong interest in Tokusatsu, and Naeko only joined because Chiba did). After Naeko told Chiba "don't make me say the reason why I joined the committee!", Chiba wrote down his feelings to her in a love letter. Naeko wrote back, but that letter did not contain the answer to the pressing question; instead, the answer was written down the side of a VHS in the committee storage room. Naeko's hope was that Chiba could find the VHS and that his sweating habit would cause the message "I like you, too" to show up on his hands after grabbing the tape. Unfortunately, Chiba could not find the right tape, and he could not ask Naeko because she moved away and transferred to another school right after their exchange. This would remain true for another 13 years.

In the present, after receiving a call from Naeko asking him whether he has found the VHS (the answer is clearly no), Chiba decides to return to Teitan Elementary to search for the tape again, as his feelings towards Naeko remain unchanged. With the help of Conan and the Detective Boys, he finally finds the message; he thus decides to head to the class reunion held that night, hoping that Naeko will show up. She does not, however, and Chiba learns from a former classmate that Naeko is "now with the one she loves". Chiba, believing that this means that Naeko is getting married with someone else, becomes dispirited. What he does not know is that "the one she loves" refers to him, and that "with" refers to the fact that Naeko has just been transferred to work in the police headquarters in Tokyo and looks forward to working with him.

They meet in several other cases after; Chiba does not manage to recognize her until the fourth: in that case, Naeko is injured, forcing Chiba to carry her to the hospital. On the way, Chiba comes across a red light with no one around. Worried about Naeko's injury, Chiba tries to cross, but Naeko orders him to stop and wait by using the same words that Chiba used 13 years ago when she tried to cross a road with no one around, but the light was red. After recognizing each other, their relationship develops quickly, and currently they are living together.

== Chiba and Miike moments ==
=== [[Volume 71|Volume 71: Files 741-742]] / [[A Video Letter of First Love|Episode 624: A Video Letter of First Love]] ===
[[Image:The first time Naeko Miike introduces herself.jpg|thumb|200px|The first time Naeko Miike introduces herself.]]
* See above for Chiba and Naeko's recollections of what happened between them 13 years ago.
* After leaving the class reunion dispirited, Chiba finds a lady traffic cop giving him a ticket; it turns out that he is parking illegally. When the officer offers to go easy on him, Chiba scolds her, telling her that she should enforce the law. The officer turns out to be Naeko, who has just been transferred to the police headquarters in Tokyo (working alongside Yumi) and looks forward to working with Chiba.
* Naeko, seeing that Chiba is still so strict with traffic rules, thinks to herself that he has not changed.
* Chiba really believes that Naeko is married, and thus tells the Detective Boys that he has been dumped. Naeko overhears this accidentally, and thus believes that she has a chance.

=== [[Volume 75|Volume 75: Files 790-792]] / [[The Joint Investigation with First Love|Episode 659-660: The Joint Investigation with First Love]] ===
* Naeko makes her second appearence alongside Yumi during a case involving threats that were placed in cars. One of the victims happens to be Chiba himself, so the Detective Boys try to convince them to investigate the case together, without interference from others.
* Naeko, before being encouraged by the Detective Boys, was hiding behind Yumi and not daring to go face-to-face with Chiba.
* However, Chiba remains oblivious to the fact that she is his childhood first love.
* When Yumi learns about the special relationship between Chiba and Naeko, she tries to separate the two as much as possible, as their successful pairing would mean that she would become the only single person among her best friends in the police headquarters.
* Chiba comes close to finding out who Naeko is when a gust of wind blows her hat off, but his attention quickly shifts to something else. Naeko feels like he does not remember her at all and calls him a dummy.
* At the end of the case, Chiba finally recalls having seen Naeko before. Unfortunately, he is thinking about the time when she gave him a parking ticket. This is not to say that Chiba's memory only went this deep into the past; he did consider the possibility that the officer in front of him is Naeko. But he considers it to be so unlikely that he does not even confirm with her, thus squandering the chance.

=== [[Volume 80|Volume 80: Files 847-849]] / [[The Ex-Boyfriend Living Next to a Crime Scene|Episode 731-732: The Ex-Boyfriend Living Next to a Crime Scene]] ===
* Naeko's childhood best friend, [[Sakurako|Sakurako Yonehara]], finds a corpse in the house where she works as a housemaid. She calls Naeko, who is on patrol with Yumi at that time; they head to the house while waiting for division 1 officers to come.
* Chiba, among others, is summoned to the crime scene, and, while investigating the the case, Chiba manages to recognize Sakurako but still not Naeko, to her disappointment.
* To be fair to Chiba, he even mentions Naeko to Sakurako, but before she has a chance to give him any information, Chiba is ordered to investigate something.

=== [[Volume 89|Volume 89: Files 942-944]] / [[Chiba's Difficult UFO Case|Episode 847-848: Chiba's Difficult UFO Case]] ===
* Naeko sends Chiba a package containing reports about the consequences of obesity, and this is followed up by a tape with steps to follow an 8-hour diet. Although Chiba is unaware of the person sending that package, he finds the package extremely helpful, and he loses a lot of weight in a short period of time (and changes so much that even Kogoro cannot recognize him).
* Naeko's motivation is that she heard a few fellow female officers laugh at Chiba's build.
* After Chiba becomes a lot skinnier, her colleagues change their attitude completely, and start showing interest in Chiba. Realizing that her efforts are being counterproductive, Naeko sends Chiba a huge package full of chocolate to make him gain weight again. This plan works out fine, and Naeko feels relieved when her colleagues' opinion about Chiba reverts back to the original one.

=== [[Volume 95|Volume 95: Files 1013-1014]] & [[Volume 96|Volume 96: Files 1015-1017]] / [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|Episode 971-974: The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]] ===
* After learning that Chiba is looking for a suitable partner for his next stakeout, Yumi suggests Naeko. The latter still does not recognize Naeko and tells her, to her embarrassment (as they are of the same age), that it would look like an inspector with a middle school girl.
* After getting kidnapped by the culprit, Naeko tries to contact Chiba so he could come to her rescue. Unfortunately, her suspicious actions are noticed by the culprit, and he takes her phone away.

Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki

Hoshi30: some changes

The romantic relationship between [[Kogoro Mouri]] and [[Eri Kisaki]].
[[File:Op25-11.JPG|thumb|250px|Kogoro and Eri in opening 25]]

== Relationship analysis ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Kogoro and Eri in school]]
[[Kogoro Mouri]] and [[Eri Kisaki]] (officially Eri Mouri) have been a married couple for about 18 years, with the last ten spent separately because of huge personality clashes. Before the marriage, they were very good friends and a couple since elementary school. Despite being separated, they still love and care about each other, although they often put on a show of disdain for each other. It is a running gag that over the course of a case, one of the pair will come close to asking the other if they could move back in together, but then somehow Kogoro ruins the situation by doing something inappropriate or drunkenly flirting with another woman. Their daughter, [[Ran]], is constantly trying to get them to hook up with each other; usually, it is by directly asking them or by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.

== Kogoro and Eri moments ==
=== Manga/Anime ===
==== [[Volume 11|Volume 11: Files 105-107]] / [[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]] ====
* Eri is revealed to be Ran's mother right before the end of the case (Conan does not recognize her because he have not seen her in ten years).
* When Ran asks whether she is considering going back home, Eri firmly rejects, and proceeds to list the many vices of Kogoro, and also claims that the only invaluable things that have come out of the marriage are Ran and the one-arm shoulder throw manoeuvre that Kogoro taught her.
* Ran does not give up, and asks why Eri married Kogoro if she knew that he had so may flaws in his personality; Eri replies that maybe it is just the destiny of childhood best friends.
* Ran also asks why Eri would not take off her wedding ring if in fact she thinks so poorly of Kogoro. This question turns out to be too easy for Eri; she casually replies that the ring serves to tell other "boring men" that they should not try to flirt with her.
* Although Eri cannot find anything positive to say about Kogoro, she still have feelings towards her, as evidenced by her proud expression when she sees Kogoro on TV (Kogoro, via Conan, is revealing the truth behind a previous murder case).
* The clip played on TV also includes a phone call where Kogoro tells some woman that since he and his wife no longer live together, he is available for an all-night celebration. This visibly annoys Eri, and she waves goodbye to Ran as she says that she will not go back home just yet.

==== [[Volume 14|Volume 14: Files 131-138]] / [[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|Episode 96: The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases]] ====
* Ran encourages Eri to call Kogoro; she does exactly that, and tries to introduce a new client to Kogoro, only to be yelled at by an indignant Kogoro, who says that he does not need her help. Kogoro then orders her to stop bothering him before hanging up angrily.

==== [[Volume 17|Volume 17: Files 163-165]] / [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episodes 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]] ====
* This is the first occasion where Ran tries to fix her parents' relationship by telling them to go somewhere separately and making them meet, pretending that it is a coincidence and that they meet because there is a telepathic connection or something like that between them.
* Eri accidentally loses her wedding ring on the beach, but pretends that she has deliberately left it at home in order to see if Kogoro has noticed.
* As Kogoro appears to not have noticed anything, Eri sighs and remarks that her marriage is a failure, and that maybe she should end it altogether and start a new stage in her life.
* The fact that Kogoro brings over a few young ladies to Eri later (and invites them to have lunch with them) makes Eri's thoughts firmer. As Kogoro introduces Eri to those ladies, she interjects and claims that she is his ex-wife.
* After the case is solved, Kogoro tosses Eri's missing ring to her, and tells her that he knows since the beginning that the ring was missing, and thus set out to find it. This implies that Kogoro actually met those young ladies accidentally, and did not meet them on the beach, flirted with them and invited them to have lunch with them.
* Eri is surprised and touched by Kogoro's words, but as Kogoro is soon back to his normal mode, Eri leaves, somewhat resigned. She is later seen with the wedding ring back on her ring finger again.

==== [[Volume 24|Volume 24: Files 234-237]] / [[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episodes 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]] ====
* Ran wants to sew a coat for Shinichi, but she does not know how to, prompting her to go to Eri for help. Eri agrees to demonstrate her the sewing process, and ends up sewing two coats herself. She tells Ran to dispose of them, and Ran, understanding the hidden message, gives one to Kogoro.
* Kogoro does not seem to know that the coat is sewed by Eri.

==== [[Volume 27|Volume 27: Files 264-266]] / [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episodes 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]] ====
* Kogoro, along with Ran and Conan, unexpectedly finds Eri shopping with a fellow lawyer at a resort in Gunma. He suspects that his wife is going out with that lawyer, not knowing that she is actually trying to pick a present for himself (as the next day will be their wedding anniversary).
* After it is revealed that Kogoro and Eri both keep track of the cases that the other one has been dealing with, their relationship softens, and they agree to have a drink together, along with a few of Eri's acquainted lawyers.
* Kogoro soon gets drunk, and his old bad habits while drunk once again enrages Eri. She then leaves, and laments that the tie that she picked for him will go to waste. Ran stops her and offers to give the tie to Kogoro, but Eri forcefully rejects, and then says shyly that she will give the present to Kogoro herself.
* Later, Kogoro is found in a locked room, with the corpse of the female lawyer that he flirted with a moment before; Kogoro is sleeping at the time Eri and others break into the room and sees the corpse.
* Much to everyone's surprise, Eri refuses to defend her husband in court, while openly declaring that in her opinion, the evidence strongly suggests that Kogoro has murdered that lawyer.
* Later, we see that her real intention is to remain at the crime scene in order to gather evidence that can prove Kogoro's innocence.
* Eri, with Conan's help, eventually manages to unmask the true murderer and clear Kogoro's name. The next morning, Kogoro walks to where Eri is having breakfast (presumably) and sincerely asks her to come back with him, even saying that he is tired of Ran's cooking and wants to try something new (remember that Kogoro knows very well that Eri's cooking was always horrible). Since Eri does not respond at all, Kogoro shakes her, and finds out that she is just listening to Ran's MD without actually hearing anything that he said.
* Ran runs towards her parents and asks what is going on, and Kogoro reply involves referring to himself as "the person whom Eri loves the most". Eri interrupts and corrects him, then lectures him on alcohol, which causes Kogoro to refuse to play nice anymore.
[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kogoro asks Eri to come back with him.]]
* Kogoro does not know that Eri was listening to him; actually, she even recorded his nice words. She would play those words again and again, while thinking that although they are sweet and sincere, they are not enough to convince her to go back.

==== [[Volume 28|Volume 28: Files 276-278]] / [[The Client Full of Lies|Episodes 220-221: The Client Full of Lies]] ====
* When Kogoro takes notice of Shizuka Ikenami's youth, beauty and temperament, he immediately becomes a gentleman, and tries to flirt with her, forcing Ran to emphasize whenever she can that he is already married.
* Sango Yokomizo mistakes Shizuka for Kogoro's wife; Kogoro blushes and asks: "Does it look like so?"

==== (TV Original) [[Courtroom Confrontation: Kisaki vs. Kogoro|Episodes 264-265: Courtroom Confrontation: Kisaki vs. Kogoro]] ====
* Kogoro goes on the opposing side of a case that Eri is working on, in a plan done by her professional rival [[Reiko Kujo]] to try and get under Eri's skin. However, his plan fails, as Kogoro's testimony is able to help out Eri's case instead of Reiko's.

==== [[Volume 37|Volume 37: Files 374-376]] / [[The Unseen Suspect|Episodes 305-306: The Unseen Suspect]] ====
* Both Kogoro and Eri find that the color grey looks warmer than black (later, it is revealed that Kogoro thinks so only because Eri does as well). [[File:jjuut.jpg|400px|thumb|right|250px|Kogoro and Eri share the same Opinion]]
* Ruri Ujo - a middle school classmate of Kogoro and Eri - reveals that the pair had a very good relationship since very young, but since they had widely different personalities, they used to bicker over everything, such as which sauce should be served with fried eggs.
* Since Ruri has changed a lot since middle school and now is an elegant and successful actress, Kogoro tries to hit on her at the beginning of the case, even saying that Ran is a neighbour's child when introducing her to Ruri.

==== [[Volume 39|Volume 40: Files 401-403]] / [[A Small Client|Episodes 354-355: A Small Client]] ====
* Ran restates her intention to get Kogoro and Eri back together, but it seems that Kogoro does not want to do that at all.
* Ran asks why Kogoro is not going on the dinner date that she planned for them, and Kogoro replies that he happens to be busy that day. He then says that since Eri is not dead, they can meet at any time.

==== [[Volume 40|Volume 40: File 413]] & [[Volume 41|Volume 41: Files 414-416]] / [[The Similar Princesses|Episodes 333-334: The Similar Princesses]] ====
* Kogoro lost more than 8 million yen to gambling, and is in a dire situation. Ran calls Eri for help; she initially wants to refuse and make Ran come live with her, but when Ran claims that Kogoro has been muttering her name even in sleep, her heart is softened and she agrees to help.
* When she arrives at the Detective Agency, she finds Kogoro muttering Yoko Okino's name instead. Ran swears that Kogoro was saying her name before, and Eri accepts this explanation, albeit reluctantly. She then says that she agrees to help only because she does not want Ran to have a father deep in debt.
* Eri meets Yukiko Kudo after not seeing her for ten years; both are excited to see each other. They bring up the "Miss Teitan" competition, which was held 20 years ago to decide who was the prettier and more talented between Eri and Yukiko.
* After Eri gets 10 million yen of commission fee, she pays off Kogoro's debt and head back to the Detective Agency, planning to leave the rest of the money to Kogoro and to ask him about whom he voted for in the competition.
* Kogoro reveals that if he had not thought that the competition was too boring, he would have voted for Eri, because he thought that the word "miss" in "Miss Teitan" was the verb referring to "fail to do something".
* Ran asks how he would have voted if he had understood the true purpose of the competition, and Kogoro says without hesitation or reservation that he would have voted for Yukiko instead of Eri.
* In the midst of anger and dismay, Eri decides that she would split most of the rest of the commission fee between her and Yukiko. Ran, who is obviously also very disappointed by the answer, says that from what is left, she will take most to pay for the fees essential for keeping the family running.
* So, in the end, Kogoro is left with about 4 thousand yen.

==== [[Volume 45|Volume 45: Files 463-465]] / [[A Course Without Protest|Episodes 371-372: A Course Without Protest]] ====

==== [[Volume 50|Volume 50: Files 511-514]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 7|Episodes 431-432: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 7]] ====
* Ran again plans a dinner date, but this time Eri has work to do and cannot come. She tells Ran to remind Kogoro to not drink too much, and makes it clear that she will not be there to help if Kogoro's drunkenness drives him to commit sexual assault.
* Kogoro, as usual, deems Ran's efforts to fix their relationship unnecessary.

==== [[Volume 51|Volume 51: Files 528-529]] / [[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]] ====
* It is revealed that Eri named her cat 'Goro' after Kogoro. As Kogoro fails to realize this, Eri thinks to herself that the two "Goros" differ a lot in terms of brightness.

==== [[Volume 55|Volume 55: Files 574-575]] / [[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]] ====
* Since Ran finds a photo of Eri and a man unknown to her in her office, and her wedding ring is in the rubbish bin, Ran suspects that Eri has an affair. He thus follows Eri to the café where Eri is meeting that man.
* Since Eri is brought to tears during the meeting and is saying strange things, Ran decides that the man is manipulating her and taking advantage of her soft spots for sinister purposes.
* Later, Ran finds out that the man that Eri is meeting is a vet, whom she is consulting because her cat, Goro, has been agitated in sleep lately. As for the wedding ring in the bin, it was because Goro thought it was rubbish.
* Ran is still not entirely convinced, and remarks that Eri is showing way too much of her body. This has an explanation as well: it is the anniversary of Kogoro and Eri's first ever date, and Eri is wearing the same as what she wore then such that, in her dinner with Kogoro, he will recall those good times and perhaps change his attitude towards her.
* The dinner does not happen in the end, and Kogoro ends up drinking alone. The suit he wears is also exactly what he wore during the first date.

==== [[Volume 62|Volume 62: Files 643-645]] / [[Lawyer Eri Kisaki's Testimony|Episodes 505-506: Lawyer Eri Kisaki's Testimony]] ====
* Kogoro, although not very willingly, heads to Eri's hairdresser's to pick her up for dinner.
* The hairdresser is later arrested for murderer, and she laments not being able to hear Eri tell more stories of Kogoro.
* Eri blushes when she hears this, and Kogoro asks "is this true?" Eri thinks that he is referring to the hairdresser's words, but then Kogoro says "you are already there drinking? Wait, I will be there soon...", which seems contradictory.
* It turns out that Kogoro did not hear the hairdresser at all, and was instead on the phone with a friend confirming horse race results and cheering because he just won 1.2 million yen.
* Eri gives him a harsh slap in the face when she realizes that Kogoro was not listening and that Kogoro's words in the phone call means that he is ditching the dinner in order to drink with friends.

==== [[Volume 69|Volume 69: Files 725-727]] / [[Might Over Mystery|Episodes 528-529: Might Over Mystery]] ====
* Kogoro figures out the trick of breaking an alibi by playing pre-recorded background noises using a tape player, because he used this same trick to fool his wife into thinking he was working. Kogoro tries to help Eri by demonstrating the trick. Unfortunately, he ruins the goodwill when his cassette tape plays a part where a woman flirts with him and Eri misunderstands.
*Eri refuses to consider the idea of actually divorcing Kogoro.

==== [[Volume 68|Volume 68: Files 708-710]] / [[The Worst Birthday|Episodes 589-590: The Worst Birthday]] ====
* Sango Yokomizo is excited as he finally gets to know Kogoro's wife. He remarks that he has seen many attractive ladies around Kogoro and thus has mistaken a few of them for Kogoro's wife.
* Kogoro gives Eri her birthday present, but on the wrong day. Eri still happily accepts the gift, not minding Kogoro's rather stupid strategy of treating her badly and lowering her expectations and finally surprising her with the present; she even gives him a kiss on the cheek.
* However, it turns out the next day that Kogoro messed up the gifts, and that Eri ends up getting prayer beads. She is utterly irate about this, and yells in her phone call to Ran, demanding to know whether Kogoro wants her dead.

==== [[Volume 69|Volume 69: Files 725-727]] / [[White Day of Betrayal|Episodes 608-609: White Day of Betrayal]] ====
* Kogoro gives Ran a wrapped gift, saying in a feigned nonchalant manner that Ran should give it to Eri when Ran sees her. Ran is happy and asks if it is for white day, and Kogoro exclaims that it is absolutely is not, and that he just does not want the chocolate that he was going to give to Yoko Okino to be wasted.
* However, Conan notes that the wrapping of his gift to Yoko is completely different, showing that in fact, Kogoro has prepared chocolate especially for Eri beforehand.
* When she receives Kogoro's White Dy gift, Eri tries to hold back her smile, and she is seen later to be enjoying it.

==== (TV Original) [[The Client's Message|Episode 689: The Client's Message]] ====
* Kogoro (inspired by the case) makes his own art out the of the shadows of beer cans, and although he does not know what the shadow will look like, when the lights close, the shadow is in the shape of Eri.

====[[Volume 75|Volume 75: Files 793-795]] / [[Wedding Eve|Episodes 667-668: Wedding Eve]]====
* Raita Banba, one of Kogoro and Eri's classmate during high school, mentions that during that time, Kogoro would glare at any guy who dared to talk to Eri. Ran, as usual, is delighted by such stories, and Kogoro, as usual, deems such old memories as unimportant and not worthy of bringing up.

====[[Volume 84|Volume 84: Files 888-890]] / [[The Tense Tea Party|Episodes 770-771: The Tense Tea Party]]====
* Kogoro runs straight to Haido Hospital when he gets a text from Ran (actually, there were dozens of unread texts and calls not picked up) saying that Eri is in the hospital for surgery. To make the moment sweeter, he keeps yelling her name until he gets to her room.
* However, he is later thrown out of the room by Eri, as he made some silly remarks while in Eri's room, and Eri found out that the reason why Kogoro was not able to get to the hospital as soon as she was transferred to the hospital was that he was gambling and turned off his phone.

==== [[Volume 93|Volume 93: File 984-986]] / [[Lawyer Kisaki's SOS|Episodes 901-902: Lawyer Kisaki's SOS]] ====
* For the first time, Kogoro is not interested in a Yoko Okino movie because she plays a female lawyer, and even worse, the case resembles one of Kogoro's own situation in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where Kogoro was a suspect of a murder case and Eri refused to protect him, but instead secretly find evidence to prove him innocent.
* Eri is kidnapped by some husbands who lost their divorce cases against her in court. They wants to strip her naked and force her to apologize. Upon them announcing their intention while holding Eri hostage, Kogoro, climbing a four-story building using the water pipes (despite having acrophobia), reaches Eri and declares that only he has the permission to see Eri naked.
* As he says this, Kogoro wraps his arm around Eri's shoulder; he proceeds to knock out the kidnappers.
* Eri and Kogoro hold hands after the case is solved. Takagi wants them to go to the police station for questioning, but Kogoro says that that is for another day, and then he outlines his plan to have dinner and then a date with Eri.
* Their happy moment is short-lived, as they start quarrelling again in the cinema after the movie ends.

The next morning, Kogoro walks to where Eri is having breakfast (presumably) and sincerely asks her to come back with him, even saying that he is tired of Ran's cooking and wants to try something new (remember that Kogoro knows very well that Eri's cooking was always horrible). Since Eri does not respond at all, Kogoro shakes her, and finds out that she is just listening to Ran's MD without actually hearing anything that he said.
* Ran runs towards her parents and asks what is going on, and Kogoro reply involves referring to himself as "the person whom Eri loves the most". Eri interrupts and corrects him, then lectures him on alcohol, which causes Kogoro to refuse to play nice anymore.
* Kogoro does not know that Eri was listening to him; actually, she even recorded his nice words. She would play those words again and again, while thinking that although they are sweet and sincere, they are not enough to convince her to go back.

* Kogoro even goes on the opposing side of a case that Eri is working on, in a plan done by her professional rival [[Reiko Kujo]] to try and get under Eri's skin. However, his plan fails, as Kogoro's testimony is able to help out Eri's case instead of Reiko's.

* Ruri Ujo - a middle school classmate of Kogoro and Eri - reveals that the pair had a very good relationship since very young, but since they had widely different personalities, they used to bicker over everything, such as which sauce should be served with fried eggs.
* Since Ruri has changed a lot since middle school and now is an elegant and successful actress, Kogoro tries to hit on her at the beginning of the case, even saying that Ran is a neighbour's child when introducing her to Ruri.

* Kogoro lost more than 8 million yen to gambling, and is in a dire situation. Ran calls Eri for help; she initially wants to refuse and make Ran come live with her, but when Ran claims that Kogoro has been muttering her name even in sleep, her heart is softened and she agrees to help.
* When she arrives at the Detective Agency, she finds Kogoro muttering Yoko Okino's name instead. Ran swears that Kogoro was saying her name before, and Eri accepts this explanation, albeit reluctantly. She then says that she agrees to help only because she does not want Ran to have a father deep in debt.
* Eri meets Yukiko Kudo after not seeing her for ten years; both are excited to see each other. They bring up the "Miss Teitan" competition, which was held 20 years ago to decide who was the prettier and more talented between Eri and Yukiko.
* After Eri gets 10 million yen of commission fee, she pays off Kogoro's debt and head back to the Detective Agency, planning to leave the rest of the money to Kogoro and to ask him about whom he voted for in the competition.
* Kogoro reveals that if he had not thought that the competition was too boring, he would have voted for Eri, because he thought that the word "miss" in "Miss Teitan" was the verb referring to "fail to do something".
* Ran asks how he would have voted if he had understood the true purpose of the competition, and Kogoro says without hesitation or reservation that he would have voted for Yukiko instead of Eri.
* In the midst of anger and dismay, Eri decides that she would split most of the rest of the commission fee between her and Yukiko. Ran, who is obviously also very disappointed by the answer, says that from what is left, she will take most to pay for the fees essential for keeping the family running.
* So, in the end, Kogoro is left with about 4 thousand yen.

* Later, Ran finds out that the man that Eri is meeting is a vet, whom she is consulting because her cat, Goro, has been agitated in sleep lately. As for the wedding ring in the bin, it was because Goro thought it was rubbish.
* Ran is still not entirely convinced, and remarks that Eri is showing way too much of her body. This has an explanation as well: it is the anniversary of Kogoro and Eri's first ever date, and Eri is wearing the same as what she wore then such that, in her dinner with Kogoro, he will recall those good times and perhaps change his attitude towards her.
* The dinner does not happen in the end, and Kogoro ends up drinking alone. The suit he wears is also exactly what he wore during the first date.

* Eri blushes when she hears this, and Kogoro asks "is this true?" Eri thinks that he is referring to the hairdresser's words, but then Kogoro says "you are already there drinking? Wait, I will be there soon...", which seems contradictory.
* It turns out that Kogoro did not hear the hairdresser at all, and was instead on the phone with a friend confirming horse race results and cheering because he just won 1.2 million yen.
* Eri gives him a harsh slap in the face when she realizes that Kogoro was not listening and that Kogoro's words in the phone call means that he is ditching the dinner in order to drink with friends.

==== [[Volume 69|Volume 69: Files 725-727]] / [[Might Over Mystery|Episodes 528-529: Might Over Mystery]] ====

* Kogoro gives Eri her birthday present, but on the wrong day. Eri still happily accepts the gift, not minding Kogoro's rather stupid strategy of treating her badly and lowering her expectations and finally surprising her with the present; she even gives him a kiss on the cheek.
* However, it turns out the next day that Kogoro messed up the gifts, and that Eri ends up getting prayer beads. She is utterly irate about this, and yells in her phone call to Ran, demanding to know whether Kogoro wants her dead.

==== [[Volume 69|Volume 69: Files 725-727]] / [[White Day of Betrayal|Episodes 608-609: White Day of Betrayal]] ====

Ran is happy and asks if it is for white day, and Kogoro exclaims that it is absolutely is not, and that he just does not want the chocolate that he was going to give to Yoko Okino to be wasted.
* However, Conan notes that the wrapping of his gift to Yoko is completely different, showing that in fact, Kogoro has prepared chocolate especially for Eri beforehand.

* However, he is later thrown out of the room by Eri, as he made some silly remarks while in Eri's room, and Eri found out that the reason why Kogoro was not able to get to the hospital as soon as she was transferred to the hospital was that he was gambling and turned off his phone.

==== [[Volume 93|Volume 93: File 984-986]] / [[Lawyer Kisaki's SOS|Episodes 901-902: Lawyer Kisaki's SOS]] ====
* For the first time, Kogoro is not interested in a Yoko Okino movie because she plays a female lawyer, and even worse, the case resembles one of Kogoro's own situation in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where Kogoro was a suspect of a murder case and Eri refused to protect him, but instead secretly find evidence to prove him innocent.
* Eri is kidnapped by some husbands who lost their divorce cases against her. They wants to strip her naked and force her to apologize.

Sonoko Suzuki and Makoto Kyogoku

Hoshi30: some corrections

The romantic relationship between [[Sonoko Suzuki]] and [[Makoto Kyogoku]].

== Relationship Analysis ==
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
[[Sonoko Suzuki]] originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while vacationing, where he was a waiter at a restaurant and worked at a hotel in his spare time.<ref name=Summer>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. He later saves her when he takes a knife in the arm for her, to protect her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer.<ref name=Summer /> This is when Ran finally realizes that he is the famous karate champion. After defeating the killer, he confesses his feelings for her, which leaves Sonoko dumbfounded and flustered.<ref name=Summer /> According to Makoto, he originally met Sonoko during one of Ran's tournaments, and loved how feisty and firey she was in trying to cheer her friend on.<ref name=Summer /> After this, Sonoko and Makoto begin a long distance relationship.<ref name=Summer />

Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=Valentine>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=Red>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> Sonoko loves to use some kind of concocted scheme to get Makoto to come to her, usually in some romantic way, to create a romantic and dreamy experience for her.<ref name=Red /> This, however, doesn't always end in success, but he sometimes does stumble through her little schemes.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red /> He often warns her of the way she is dressed, because he believes that guys will try to come after her because of it.<ref name=Summer /><ref name=Valentine />

Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=Megure>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=Pottery>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her bag, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=Photo>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him a chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=Valentine /> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=Valentine />

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, Sonoko has stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else.

== Sonoko and Makoto moments ==
===Manga/Anime===
====[[Volume 22|Volume 22: Files 219-221]] / [[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episodes 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]] ====
* While on vacation in Izu, Shizuoka, Sonoko is hit upon by a rather handsome college student named Tadahiko Michiwaki. Conan watches them converse in disbelief; he thought that nobody would like Sonoko.
* Makoto makes his debut in the series as a waiter to Sonoko, Conan, Ran, and Michiwaki, who a while ago asked Sonoko to have lunch with him (Sonoko agreed, but she was not confident enough to go alone).
* Makoto puts Michiwaki's beer down on the table with a loud bang, and then, rudely, orders him not to leave his cigarette's ashes on the floor. Later, Makoto abruptly comes in between Sonoko and Michiwaki to serve the fried noodles that he ordered. He then rudely tells them to wrap up quickly, as "there are a lot of customers waiting to eat".
* At the Karawuya Hotel, as the trio waits for Michiwaki to show up for dinner, Makoto appears next to Sonoko, and leaves an umbrella next to her, telling her that she can use it if she needs to (it is raining outside).
* After Sonoko is assaulted, Makoto quickly arrives at her room, and begins berating her for wearing revealing clothing, which, in his belief, contributed to the attack. He then persuades her and the others to change their room and stay at the hotel for dinner, since it is dangerous outside.
* At dinner, Makoto tells Sonoko that the meal for her and her friends, is free. In exchange, they are not to tell anyone about the assault (Makoto is probably worried about he hotel's reputation here).
* The next morning, Makoto follows the gang to a popular restaurant. After Conan notices Michiwaki's car rolling down the hill, with a sleepy Sonoko inside, Makoto quickly follows Conan and Ran outside in order to help Sonoko, but he is stopped by the staff at the restaurant, who demands that he pays his bill first.
* An angered Makoto demands an answer from Michiwaki as to why he did not put an emergency brake on his car, which could have killed Sonoko.
* As Michiwaki is about to kill Sonoko, Makoto comes to her rescue, and proceeds to cooly defeat the crazed murderer with his superb karate skills. Sonoko learns that he was following her to make sure she would not get hurt (Makoto noticed that Michiwaki had talked to a few other girls before Sonoko met him).
* Sonoko asks him why he would do all this for a total stranger, and Makoto reveals that he developed feelings for her when he saw her cheering with all her energy for Ran in a karate tournament. Before Makoto leaves, he says the words that make the young girl's face instantaneously turn neon pink. They are as follows:
{{cquote|"Oh, yes. Going around in lingerie like that is sure to seduce more men than necessary. If you could, I'd like you to stop doing that. Of course, as the guy who loves you the most in this world, it doesn't matter if you don't want to listen to me."|Makoto, confessing to Sonoko, how his feelings for her transformed into love.}}
* In the omake, Ran reveals that Makoto and Sonoko has begun dating, and that (to Sonoko's dismay) Makoto has decided to go abroad to study (as he has no more worthy rivals in Japan). Since Makoto is not around, Sonoko is still a bit "boy crazy".

==== [[Volume 25|Volume 25: Files 243-245]] / [[The Revival of the Dying Message|Episodes 172-173: The Resurrected Dying Message]] ====
* Sonoko thinks that Makoto is being cold to her for not calling her for two months in a row.
* Sonoko takes out her new cell phone, and, while staring at it, she thinks about Makoto and silently calls him an "idiot."
* Makoto finally calls Sonoko to tell her he won a huge Karate tournament, but Sonoko calls him "stupid" over and over with tears in her eyes, reflecting the frustration of not receiving a call from him for so long. Makoto apologizes, explaining he thought that there was nothing particularly important to talk about. Then, Makoto cautions her about the flu in Japan, and that she should not wear any short skirts.

==== [[Volume 28|Volume 28: File 284]] & [[Volume 29|Volume 29: Files 285-286]] / [[Megure's Sealed Secret|Episodes 217-218: Megure's Sealed Secret]] ====
* In Sonoko's letter to Makoto, she wrote that she is sewing a coat for "the one I like". However, she underestimated the difficulty of sewing, and thus is forced to by a coat instead. Ran asks why Sonoko refers to Makoto as "the one I like", and Sonoko replies that it is designed to make Makoto a bit nervous, so that when she says in a future letter that "you are that person" he is going to be overwhelmed with joy.
* Ran does not completely approve of this idea, prompting Sonoko to say that since Makoto is quite silent and slightly introverted, if she does not do so, then she will never know what he is thinking.

==== [[Volume 30|Volume 30: Files 305-306]] & [[Volume 31|Volume 31: File 307]]/ [[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episodes 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]] ====
* Sonoko signs up for a pottery class in order to make cups for herself and for Makoto. She excitedly shows both to Ran: hers has Makoto's full name written on it, and the one intended for Makoto, which is much larger, has her name on it.
* Sonoko explains that since she did not sew the bought coat herself, she thought that it would not be right to send it to Makoto. Furthermore, he would not need a coat much, while cups are everyday objects, so Makoto would be using it much more frequently and thus never forget about her.
* Makoto receives the cup a few weeks later, but he seems to believe that it is a flower pot. This makes Sonoko slightly disappointed.

==== [[Volume 33|Volume 33: Files 331-334]] / [[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episodes 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]] ====
* As Makoto has again not been contacting her for a while, Sonoko grows worried again.
* Since she told Makoto that she was making chocolate for "the one I like" (note that this is simply a continuation of her strategy in previous case), on Valentine's Day, Sonoko (along with Ran, Kogoro and Conan) heads to a mountain villa (in an unspecified prefecture) to make chocolate for Makoto.
* At the end of the episode, Makoto arrives at the mountain villa, jealous, to see who the chocolates are for; in the process, he successfully knocks down two armed killers, thus saving Sonoko and the others from danger.
* Sonoko says that the chocolate is for him, and shows him her masterpiece: a large heart-shaped chunk of chocolate with the words "to Makoto" on it. This causes Makoto to blush, and he tries to run away; but Sonoko tells him to stop, and subsequently Makoto takes the chocolate.
* This marks the beginning of the relationship between Sonoko and Makoto.
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]

==== [[Volume 52|Volume 52: Files 541-543]] / [[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episodes 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]] ====
* Imitating a popular TV series, Sonoko tied a red handkerchief to a maple tree in the mountains of Gunma and sent a message to Makoto to lure him there for a romantic rendezvous. Since the message was not written in plain language, Makoto was unable to understand when he was supposed to be there; so he decided to come to Japan as soon as he could (leaving his karate tournament behind) to set up a tent in the mountains of Gunma and wait for Sonoko.
* Sonoko, not knowing that Makoto has come to Japan, grabs Yamamura's pad and starts watching the live broadcast of Makoto's tournament. She is immensely pleased when the announcer, during his introduction of Makoto, mentions that he has not lost in 400 consecutive matches.
* Sonoko, Ran and Conan get involved in a murder case in those mountains and while Conan is able to determine the culprit, he cannot deal with the gang of which the culprit is a leader, and neither can Ran. During the fight between Ran and the gang, she gets injured and is gradually overpowered; Sonoko screams for help, and Makoto shows up right at this moment, and he is able to easily defeat the rest of the gang.
* He then tells Sonoko about what he did after receiving the message, making Sonoko immensely pleased again. However, he has no plan to stay in Japan with Sonoko; he asks Agasa whether it is possible to drive him to the airport instead so that he can head back to the tournament and fight against the champion to see who is better.

==== [[Volume 62|Volume 62: Files 638-640]] / [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Episodes 510-511: Conan vs. Double Code Mystery (Case 2)]] ====
* Sonoko meets Okiya; since she thinks that he is both handsome and highly educated (Okiya claims that he is a graduate student at a prestigious university), she tries to hit on him, only to be stopped by Ran, who reminds her that Makoto would get mad.

==== [[Volume 69|Volume 69: Files 725-727]] / [[White Day of Betrayal|Episodes 510-511: White Day of Betrayal]] ====
* Also Makoto remembers that he needs to give something back to Sonoko on the White Day, his return gift is rather unconventional: a message announcing his win at a major karate tournament. Sonoko is happy about this, but then asks Makoto whether he has anything material to give her. Makoto obviously has not prepared anything like that, forcing him to say that he is doing an interview (as he is the victor) and thus will talk to Sonoko later.

==== [[Volume 78|Volume 78: Files 818-824]] / [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Episodes 701-704: The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] ====
* Sonoko, having learned that her uncle Jirokichi will exhibit a gem on the Jet-black Mystery Train to lure Kaito Kid, decides to put a love letter near the gem so that when Kaito Kid comes to steal it, he would see her confession.
* Ran, as usual, expresses her disapproval, but Sonoko argues that her love to Makoto is different from that to Kaito Kid.

==== [[Volume 78|Volume 78: Files 815-827]] / [[Conan in a Locked Room|Episodes 705-706: Conan in a Locked Room]] ====
* Makoto sent a message to Sonoko saying that as part of his karate training, he has taken up tennis, and that he would be thrilled to play with Sonoko when he gets back to Japan. For this reason, Sonoko decided to take tennis classes. The coach turns out to be Amuro Tooru.

==== [[Volume 81|Volume 81: Files 859-861]] / [[The Suspect is Makoto Kyogoku|Episodes 744-745: The Suspect is Makoto Kyogoku]] ====
* As it is raining heavily, Makoto cannot play tennis with Sonoko as they previously wished. So, instead, Sonoko heads to a bowling alley.
* Like many others, Makoto mistakenly thinks that Sera is a boy in their first encounter. So, after seeing Sera get too close to Sonoko, he places his hand on Sera's shoulder, and gives her a menacing dart. A fight then ensues, and finally Sonoko has to step in in order to clarify the misunderstanding.
* In the bowling alley, Sonoko's cheers for Makoto makes him blush, and his bowling ball ends up breaking the bowling lane.
* When Yamamura accuses Makoto as the murderer, Sonoko blushes and claims that he is innocent by shouting that:
{{Cquote|"Makoto-san is...absolutely fantastic and nice and is a good person!|Sonoko trying to protect Makoto, causing him to blush deeply}}

==== [[Volume 82|Volume 82: Files 862-864]] / [[Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku|Episodes 746-747: Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku]] ====
* Sonoko introduces Makoto to her parents. Since her father, Shiro, is a fan of martial arts competitions, Sonoko tells them that Makoto has won 400 consecutive matches on the world stage and that if Makoto had not left his karate competition to come to Japan to meet her, the streak would have been longer. Shiro is in awe when he hears this, while her mother, Tomoko, is left with the impression that Makoto is too fight-obsessed and not qualified to be the prospective heir of the Suzuki family.
* She then turns her anger to Sonoko, questioning her judgement in choosing Makoto as boyfriend instead of someone who is from the same class as her. Sonoko thinks that it is her liberty to choose whoever she wants, and this quickly turns into a shouting match.
* Shiro reassures Makoto that since both he and Sonoko are still high school students, he needs not worry too much about the issues that his wife brought up just yet.
* Ran calls Sonoko, telling her that Kaito Kid has just accepted yet another challenge from Jirokichi, Sonoko's uncle. Sonoko is delighted to hear this, and calls Kid "Kid-sama" in the conversation, which irritates Makoto. He thus heads to Jirokichi's place to try to convince him to let him be a part of the security against Kid.
* After Jirokichi agrees, Tomoko challenges Makoto to a bet: if he successfully guard the jewel from Kid, then she will let their relationship develop; otherwise, Makoto is to leave Sonoko alone. Makoto accepts this bet.
* Sonoko, after knowing that Makoto will be defending the jewel alone, makes a deal with Kaito Kid. She will allow Kid to impersonate her during his mission (in order to test whether Makoto can distinguish between the real and the fake Sonoko), and in return, Kid is not to harm Makoto (as he has an upcoming karate tournament).
* Makoto manages to recognize that the impersonated Sonoko is fake. Upon asking him, he blushes shyly and says that Kid's ring finger is longer than his index finger, unlike Sonoko. Sonoko is reasonably disappointed by this explanation.
* Makoto also manages to guard the jewel, and Tomoko fulfills her promises and lets him continue his relationship with Sonoko. She remarks that he will be an easy target of bullying.

* Due to a series of coincidences, Makoto is invited to take part in the filming of a movie as an understudy. Sonoko thus dreams of being the wife of a superstar.

Sonoko Suzuki and Makoto Kyogoku

2023-06-24T17:18:31Z

Hoshi30: trivial link fix

The romantic relationship between [[Sonoko Suzuki]] and [[Makoto Kyogoku]].

== Relationship Analysis ==
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
[[Sonoko Suzuki]] originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while vacationing, where he was a waiter at a restaurant and worked at a hotel in his spare time.<ref name=Summer>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. He later saves her when he takes a knife in the arm for her, to protect her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer.<ref name=Summer /> This is when Ran finally realizes that he is the famous karate champion. After defeating the killer, he confesses his feelings for her, which leaves Sonoko dumbfounded and flustered.<ref name=Summer /> According to Makoto, he originally met Sonoko during one of Ran's tournaments, and loved how feisty and firey she was in trying to cheer her friend on.<ref name=Summer /> After this, Sonoko and Makoto begin a long distance relationship.<ref name=Summer />

Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=Valentine>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=Red>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> Sonoko loves to use some kind of concocted scheme to get Makoto to come to her, usually in some romantic way, to create a romantic and dreamy experience for her.<ref name=Red /> This, however, doesn't always end in success, but he sometimes does stumble through her little schemes.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red /> He often warns her of the way she is dressed, because he believes that guys will try to come after her because of it.<ref name=Summer /><ref name=Valentine />

Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=Megure>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=Pottery>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her bag, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=Photo>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him a chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=Valentine /> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=Valentine />

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, Sonoko has stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else.

== Sonoko and Makoto moments ==
===Manga/Anime===
====[[Volume 22|Volume 22: Files 219-221]] / [[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episodes 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]] ====
* While on vacation in Izu, Shizuoka, Sonoko is hit upon by a rather handsome college student named Tadahiko Michiwaki. Conan watches them converse in disbelief; he thought that nobody would like Sonoko.
* Makoto makes his debut in the series as a waiter to Sonoko, Conan, Ran, and Michiwaki, who a while ago asked Sonoko to have lunch with him (Sonoko agreed, but she was not confident enough to go alone).
* Makoto puts Michiwaki's beer down on the table with a loud bang, and then, rudely, orders him not to leave his cigarette's ashes on the floor. Later, Makoto abruptly comes in between Sonoko and Michiwaki to serve the fried noodles that he ordered. He then rudely tells them to wrap up quickly, as "there are a lot of customers waiting to eat".
* At the Karawuya Hotel, as the trio waits for Michiwaki to show up for dinner, Makoto appears next to Sonoko, and leaves an umbrella next to her, telling her that she can use it if she needs to (it is raining outside).
* After Sonoko is assaulted, Makoto quickly arrives at her room, and begins berating her for wearing revealing clothing, which, in his belief, contributed to the attack. He then persuades her and the others to change their room and stay at the hotel for dinner, since it is dangerous outside.
* At dinner, Makoto tells Sonoko that the meal for her and her friends, is free. In exchange, they are not to tell anyone about the assault (Makoto is probably worried about he hotel's reputation here).
* The next morning, Makoto follows the gang to a popular restaurant. After Conan notices Michiwaki's car rolling down the hill, with a sleepy Sonoko inside, Makoto quickly follows Conan and Ran outside in order to help Sonoko, but he is stopped by the staff at the restaurant, who demands that he pays his bill first.
* An angered Makoto demands an answer from Michiwaki as to why he did not put an emergency brake on his car, which could have killed Sonoko.
* As Michiwaki is about to kill Sonoko, Makoto comes to her rescue, and proceeds to cooly defeat the crazed murderer with his superb karate skills. Sonoko learns that he was following her to make sure she would not get hurt (Makoto noticed that Michiwaki had talked to a few other girls before Sonoko met him).
* Sonoko asks him why he would do all this for a total stranger, and Makoto reveals that he developed feelings for her when he saw her cheering with all her energy for Ran in a karate tournament. Before Makoto leaves, he says the words that make the young girl's face instantaneously turn neon pink. They are as follows:
{{cquote|"Oh, yes. Going around in lingerie like that is sure to seduce more men than necessary. If you could, I'd like you to stop doing that. Of course, as the guy who loves you the most in this world, it doesn't matter if you don't want to listen to me."|Makoto, confessing to Sonoko, how his feelings for her transformed into love.}}
* In the omake, Ran reveals that Makoto and Sonoko has begun dating, and that (to Sonoko's dismay) Makoto has decided to go abroad to study (as he has no more worthy rivals in Japan). Since Makoto is not around, Sonoko is still a bit "boy crazy".

==== [[Volume 25|Volume 25: Files 243-245]] / [[The Revival of the Dying Message|Episodes 172-173: The Resurrected Dying Message]] ====
* Sonoko thinks that Makoto is being cold to her for not calling her for two months in a row.
* Sonoko takes out her new cell phone, and, while staring at it, she thinks about Makoto and silently calls him an "idiot."
* Makoto finally calls Sonoko to tell her he won a huge Karate tournament, but Sonoko calls him "stupid" over and over with tears in her eyes, reflecting the frustration of not receiving a call from him for so long. Makoto apologizes, explaining he thought that there was nothing particularly important to talk about. Then, Makoto cautions her about the flu in Japan, and that she should not wear any short skirts.

==== [[Volume 28|Volume 28: File 284]] & [[Volume 29|Volume 29: Files 285-286]] / [[Megure's Sealed Secret|Episodes 217-218: Megure's Sealed Secret]] ====
* In Sonoko's letter to Makoto, she wrote that she is sewing a coat for "the one I like". However, she underestimated the difficulty of sewing, and thus is forced to by a coat instead. Ran asks why Sonoko refers to Makoto as "the one I like", and Sonoko replies that it is designed to make Makoto a bit nervous, so that when she says in a future letter that "you are that person" he is going to be overwhelmed with joy.
* Ran does not completely approve of this idea, prompting Sonoko to say that since Makoto is quite silent and slightly introverted, if she does not do so, then she will never know what he is thinking.

==== [[Volume 30|Volume 30: Files 305-306]] & [[Volume 31|Volume 31: File 307]]/ [[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episodes 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]] ====
* Sonoko signs up for a pottery class in order to make cups for herself and for Makoto. She excitedly shows both to Ran: hers has Makoto's full name written on it, and the one intended for Makoto, which is much larger, has her name on it.
* Sonoko explains that since she did not sew the bought coat herself, she thought that it would not be right to send it to Makoto. Furthermore, he would not need a coat much, while cups are everyday objects, so Makoto would be using it much more frequently and thus never forget about her.
* Makoto receives the cup a few weeks later, but he seems to believe that it is a flower pot. This makes Sonoko slightly disappointed.

==== [[Volume 33|Volume 33: Files 331-334]] / [[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episodes 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]] ====
* As Makoto has again not been contacting her for a while, Sonoko grows worried again.
* Since she told Makoto that she was making chocolate for "the one I like" (note that this is simply a continuation of her strategy in previous case), on Valentine's Day, Sonoko (along with Ran, Kogoro and Conan) heads to a mountain villa (in an unspecified prefecture) to make chocolate for Makoto.
* At the end of the episode, Makoto arrives at the mountain villa, jealous, to see who the chocolates are for; in the process, he successfully knocks down two armed killers, thus saving Sonoko and the others from danger.
* Sonoko says that the chocolate is for him, and shows him her masterpiece: a large heart-shaped chunk of chocolate with the words "to Makoto" on it. This causes Makoto to blush, and he tries to run away; but Sonoko tells him to stop, and subsequently Makoto takes the chocolate.
* This marks the beginning of the relationship between Sonoko and Makoto.
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|250px|right|thumb|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]

==== [[Volume 52|Volume 52: Files 541-543]] / [[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episodes 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]] ====
* Imitating a popular TV series, Sonoko tied a red handkerchief to a maple tree in the mountains of Gunma and sent a message to Makoto to lure him there for a romantic rendezvous. Since the message was not written in plain language, Makoto was unable to understand when he was supposed to be there; so he decided to come to Japan as soon as he could (leaving his karate tournament behind) to set up a tent in the mountains of Gunma and wait for Sonoko.
* Sonoko, not knowing that Makoto has come to Japan, grabs Yamamura's pad and starts watching the live broadcast of Makoto's tournament. She is immensely pleased when the announcer, during his introduction of Makoto, mentions that he has not lost in 400 consecutive matches.
* Sonoko, Ran and Conan get involved in a murder case in those mountains and while Conan is able to determine the culprit, he cannot deal with the gang of which the culprit is a leader, and neither can Ran. During the fight between Ran and the gang, she gets injured and is gradually overpowered; Sonoko screams for help, and Makoto shows up right at this moment, and he is able to easily defeat the rest of the gang.
* He then tells Sonoko about what he did after receiving the message, making Sonoko immensely pleased again. However, he has no plan to stay in Japan with Sonoko; he asks Agasa whether it is possible to drive him to the airport instead so that he can head back to the tournament and fight against the champion to see who is better.

==== [[Volume 62|Volume 62: Files 638-640]] / [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Episodes 510-511: Conan vs. Double Code Mystery (Case 2)]] ====
* Sonoko meets Okiya; since she thinks that he is both handsome and highly educated (Okiya claims that he is a graduate student at a prestigious university), she tries to hit on him, only to be stopped by Ran, who reminds her that Makoto would get mad.

==== [[Volume 69|Volume 69: Files 725-727]] / [[White Day of Betrayal|Episodes 510-511: White Day of Betrayal]] ====
* Also Makoto remembers that he needs to give something back to Sonoko on the White Day, his return gift is rather unconventional: a message announcing his win at a major karate tournament. Sonoko is happy about this, but then asks Makoto whether he has anything material to give her. Makoto obviously has not prepared anything like that, forcing him to say that he is doing an interview (as he is the victor) and thus will talk to Sonoko later.

==== [[Volume 78|Volume 78: Files 818-824]] / [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Episodes 701-704: The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] ====
* Sonoko, having learned that her uncle Jirokichi will exhibit a gem on the Jet-black Mystery Train to lure Kaito Kid, decides to put a love letter near the gem so that when Kaito Kid comes to steal it, he would see her confession.
* Ran, as usual, expresses her disapproval, but Sonoko argues that her love to Makoto is different from that to Kaito Kid.

==== [[Volume 78|Volume 78: Files 815-827]] / [[Conan in a Locked Room|Episodes 705-706: Conan in a Locked Room]] ====
* Makoto sent a message to Sonoko saying that as part of his karate training, he has taken up tennis, and that he would be thrilled to play with Sonoko when he gets back to Japan. For this reason, Sonoko decided to take tennis classes. The coach turns out to be Amuro Tooru.

==== [[Volume 81|Volume 81: Files 859-861]] / [[The Suspect is Makoto Kyogoku|Episodes 744-745: The Suspect is Makoto Kyogoku]] ====
* As it is raining heavily, Makoto cannot play tennis with Sonoko as they previously wished. So, instead, Sonoko heads to a bowling alley.
* Like many others, Makoto mistakenly thinks that Sera is a boy in their first encounter. So, after seeing Sera get too close to Sonoko, he places his hand on Sera's shoulder, and gives her a menacing dart. A fight then ensues, and finally Sonoko has to step in in order to clarify the misunderstanding.
* In the bowling alley, Sonoko's cheers for Makoto makes him blush, and his bowling ball ends up breaking the bowling lane.
* When Yamamura accuses Makoto as the murderer, Sonoko blushes and claims that he is innocent by shouting that:
{{Cquote|"Makoto-san is...absolutely fantastic and nice and is a good person!|Sonoko trying to protect Makoto, causing him to blush deeply}}

==== [[Volume 82|Volume 82: Files 862-864]] / [[Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku|Episodes 746-747: Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku]] ====
* Sonoko introduces Makoto to her parents. Her father approves of Makoto, as he is a fan of martial arts competitions, while her mother develops an instant dislike of Makoto, whom she thinks is uneducated, fight-obsessed, and certainly not qualified to be the prospective heir of the wealth that the Suzukis have accumulated.
* Sonoko's father steps in at this moment to calm the situation, saying that they are both still only in high school and that this topic should be left to the future.
* Sonoko reveals that Makoto left a karate competition in order to meet her parents and tightly hugs his arm while both are blushing.
* Sonoko asks Kaito Kid to disguise as her when he tries to steal the jewel; she wants to test whether Makoto can distinguish between her and Kaito Kid. In the end, Makoto manages to uncover Kid's disguise as Sonoko. Upon asking him, he blushes shyly and says that Kid's ring finger is longer than his index finger, unlike Sonoko.
* Sonoko is disappointed by this explanation and asks whether Makoto has noticed anything else (such as the fake Sonoko being less cute), and Makoto honestly answers that he has not noticed anything else.

* Due to a series of coincidences, Makoto is invited to take part in the filming of a movie as an understudy. Sonoko thus dreams of being the wife of a superstar. An actor overhears this and remarks derisively that Sonoko is just a gold digger, because of which Makoto warns him sternly that he should watch his mouth.

==== [[Volume 52|Volume 52: Files 541-543]] / [[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episodes 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]] ====
* Imitating a popular TV series, Sonoko tied a red handkerchief to a maple tree in the mountains of Gunma and sent a message to Makoto to lure him there for a romantic rendezvous. Since the message was not written in plain language, Makoto was unable to understand when he was supposed to be there; so he decided to come to Japan as soon as he could (leaving his karate tournament behind) to set up a tent in the mountains of Gunma and wait for Sonoko.
* Sonoko, not knowing that Makoto has come to Japan, grabs Yamamura's pad and starts watching the live broadcast of Makoto's tournament. She is immensely pleased when the announcer, during his introduction of Makoto, mentions that he has not lost in 400 consecutive matches.
* Sonoko, Ran and Conan get involved in a murder case in those mountains and while Conan is able to determine the culprit, he cannot deal with the gang of which the culprit is a leader, and neither can Ran. During the fight between Ran and the gang, she gets injured and is gradually overpowered; Sonoko screams for help, and Makoto shows up right at this moment, and he is able to easily defeat the rest of the gang.
* He then tells Sonoko about what he did after receiving the message, making Sonoko immensely pleased again. However, he has no plan to stay in Japan with Sonoko; he asks Agasa whether it is possible to drive him to the airport instead so that he can head back to the tournament and fight against the champion to see who is better.

==== [[Volume 62|Volume 62: Files 638-640]] / [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Episodes 510-511: Conan vs. Double Code Mystery (Case 2)]] ====
* Sonoko meets Okiya; since she thinks that he is both handsome and highly educated (Okiya claims that he is a graduate student at a prestigious university), she tries to hit on him, only to be stopped by Ran, who reminds her that Makoto would get mad.

==== [[Volume 69|Volume 69: Files 725-727]] / [[White Day of Betrayal|Episodes 510-511: White Day of Betrayal]] ====
* Also Makoto remembers that he needs to give something back to Sonoko on the White Day, his return gift is rather unconventional: a message announcing his win at a major karate tournament. Sonoko is happy about this, but then asks Makoto whether he has anything material to give her. Makoto obviously has not prepared anything like that, forcing him to say that he is doing an interview (as he is the victor) and thus will talk to Sonoko later.

==== [[Volume 78|Volume 78: Files 818-824]] / [[The Jet-black Mystery Train|Episodes 701-704: The Jet-black Mystery Train]] ====
* Sonoko, having learned that her uncle Jirokichi will exhibit a gem on the Jet-black Mystery Train to lure Kaito Kid, decides to put a love letter near the gem so that when Kaito Kid comes to steal it, he would see her confession.
* Ran, as usual, expresses her disapproval, but Sonoko argues that her love to Makoto is different from that to Kaito Kid.

==== [[Volume 78|Volume 78: Files 815-827]] / [[Conan in a Locked Room|Episodes 705-706: Conan in a Locked Room]] ====
* Makoto sent a message to Sonoko saying that as part of his karate training, he has taken up tennis, and that he would be thrilled to play with Sonoko when he gets back to Japan. For this reason, Sonoko decided to take tennis classes. The coach turns out to be Amuro Tooru.

==== [[Volume 81|Volume 81: Files 859-861]] / [[The Suspect is Makoto Kyogoku|Episodes 744-745: The Suspect is Makoto Kyogoku]] ====
* As it is raining heavily, Makoto cannot play tennis with Sonoko as they previously wished. So, instead, Sonoko heads to a bowling alley.
* Like many others, Makoto mistakenly thinks that Sera is a boy in their first encounter. So, after seeing Sera get too close to Sonoko, he places his hand on Sera's shoulder, and gives her a menacing dart. A fight then ensues, and finally Sonoko has to step in in order to clarify the misunderstanding.
* In the bowling alley, Sonoko's cheers for Makoto makes him blush, and his bowling ball ends up breaking the bowling lane.
* When Yamamura accuses Makoto as the murderer, Sonoko blushes and claims that he is innocent by shouting that:
{{Cquote|"Makoto-san is...absolutely fantastic and nice and is a good person!|Sonoko trying to protect Makoto, causing him to blush deeply}}

==== [[Volume 82|Volume 82: Files 862-864]] / [[Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku|Episodes 746-747: Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku]] ====
* Sonoko introduces Makoto to her parents. Her father approves of Makoto, as he is a fan of martial arts competitions, while her mother develops an instant dislike of Makoto, whom she thinks is uneducated, fight-obsessed, and certainly not qualified to be the prospective heir of the wealth that the Suzukis have accumulated.
* Sonoko's father steps in at this moment to calm the situation, saying that they are both still only in high school and that this topic should be left to the future.
* Sonoko reveals that Makoto left a karate competition in order to meet her parents and tightly hugs his arm while both are blushing.
* Sonoko asks Kaito Kid to disguise as her when he tries to steal the jewel; she wants to test whether Makoto can distinguish between her and Kaito Kid. In the end, Makoto manages to uncover Kid's disguise as Sonoko. Upon asking him, he blushes shyly and says that Kid's ring finger is longer than his index finger, unlike Sonoko.
* Sonoko is disappointed by this explanation and asks whether Makoto has noticed anything else (such as the fake Sonoko being less cute), and Makoto honestly answers that he has not noticed anything else.

* Due to a series of coincidences, Makoto is invited to take part in the filming of a movie as an understudy. Sonoko thus dreams of being the wife of a superstar. An actor overhears this and remarks derisively that Sonoko is just a gold digger, because of which Makoto warns him sternly that he should watch his mouth.

Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama

2023-06-24T10:23:55Z

Hoshi30: minor additions

[[Image:KazuHei 1.jpg|thumb|right|256px|Heiji and Kazuha]]
[[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Kazuha Toyama]] serve as the beta couple for [[Detective Conan]] and a foil for [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran Mouri's]] [[Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri|relationship]].

== Relationship analysis ==
[[File:Heiji and Kazuha.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Heiji and Kazuha.]]
[[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] grew up together and are easily each other's best friend and mutual love interest. They have gone at the same school since they were in pre-school. Neither of them have been shown to have other close friendships outside of their relationships with Shinichi and Ran, though Heiji does have a rivalry with fellow kendo practitioner [[The Osaka Double Mystery - The Naniwa Swordsman and Toyotomi%27s Castle#People|Okita]]. They often spend time together, and Kazuha typically comes along when Heiji visits the Mouri's or vice versa, and is usually getting caught up with Heiji in criminal investigations.
Kazuha and Heiji both wear twin good-luck charms that Kazuha made with pieces of the handcuff chain that stuck them together temporarily as children.<ref name=StabbedWallet>Manga Volume 19: Files 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref> Kazuha and Heiji have both shown jealousy when the other appears interested in someone else, even though they're not officially in a romantic relationship. Although, all their Jr. High School and High School classmates have commented that they're a couple. Their parents have known each other before they were even born. Making their families close.

Kazuha has demonstrated awareness of her love for Heiji, but has been either too shy or unfortunately interrupted any time she tries to tell him. Heiji, in contrast, is played off in the beginning to be oblivious to her romantic interest in him and has gotten confused many times whenever she tries to confess her love to him. This usually frustrates Kazuha and it leads to their "'''''Old Married Couple'''''" arguing that many people point out make them look like a real couple.

Heiji has been shown to be deadly protective of Kazuha and will put himself in harms way whenever she's in danger, such as when he got shot in the arm trying to protect her from being killed in [[Private Eye in the Distant Sea]] and when he refused to let her go when she stabbed him with her arrow when they were hanging off a side of a cliff.<ref name=Mermaid'sCurse>Manga Volume 28: Files 283 (Mermaid's Curse Case)</ref> At the conclusion of that same case, he made a silent promise that he would never let her get hurt while he was around.<ref name=Mermaid'sCurse>Manga Volume 28: Files 283 (Mermaid's Curse Case)</ref>

Heiji and Kazuha's fathers have worked together on the same police force for many years and are very close friends, it's actually because of their friendship that they even met in the first place. [[Ginshiro Toyama|Mr. Toyama]] has even admitted, albeit teasingly, that he preferred it if his daughter married Heiji instead of some other punk.<ref name=TigerScrollCase>Manga Volume 31: Files 317 (Tiger Scroll Case)</ref> Both families are very close to each other and because of that, that's how Heiji and Kazuha were handcuffed together in the first place after they were playing a game of cops and robbers.<ref name=StabbedWallet>Manga Volume 19: Files 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref>

Even though Heiji has been played off as oblivious to Kazuha's failed advancements on him romantically, it's later revealed that he does feel the same way about her. Such as when he grabbed a guy by the neck and asked, "'''''Whatcha Doin' to MY Kazuha?!'''''" when he thought she was being taken away and kidnapped on Ebisu Bridge.<ref name=DrugTrading>Manga Volume 83: Files 881 (Drug Trading Case)</ref> And how he admitted that "'''''Something That Important'''''" (Referencing his love for Kazuha) should be said in a more proper romantic setting than an old bridge. It is during this incident on Ebisu bridge that he finally realised his feelings for Kazuha.<ref name=KamaitachiMurder>Manga Volume 86: Files 912 (Kamaitachi Murder Case).</ref>

== Heiji and Kazuha moments ==
=== Manga/Anime ===
==== [[Volume 19|Volume 19: Files 185-188]] / [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case|Episode 118: The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] ====
[[File:Kazuha Accusation.png|thumb|right|250px|Kazuha accuses Ran of being the Kudo that Heiji is in love with.]]
* Kazuha watches Ran so intently that Ran can sense it, then appears and threatens Ran that if she has any designs on Heiji, she will have to approve it first. After Ran watches Heiji and Kazuha interact, and Heiji explain that the "Kudo" he has been talking about is actually a guy, Ran asks if they are a couple. They both deny it, citing their fathers' connections, but Kazuha admits with a blush that she had been following Heiji and Ran for some time to make sure Heiji did not "get carried away by some Tokyo girl".
* When Heiji leaves to investigate the murder case, Kazuha calls after him to ensure that he has his lucky charm for protection. Heiji confirms that he does and tells her to not worry.
* Kazuha reveals with a blush that she hid a piece of the handcuffs in the charm she gave to Heiji, though he may be unaware of it.
* After Heiji is shot in the stomach, he is sent to the hospital. On the ambulance, he appears to be dying, and Kazuha, believing so, cries and embraces him. This makes Heiji angry, because he was merely tired and wanted to get some sleep.

==== [[Volume 21|Volume 21: File 211]] & [[Volume 22|Volume 22: Files 212-214]] / [[The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case|Episode 141-142: The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case]] ====
* Kazuha accompanies Heiji to Tokyo to attend a wedding on behalf of his mother, and blushes when she claims that coming along was only a favour to Heiji's mother.
* Kazuha treats Ran coldly, to Ran's confusion, until Kazuha reveals she is annoyed by the fact that Ran and Heiji are wearing matching shirts like they did when they met in Osaka, as if they had planned it as a couple. Ran, hearing this, takes off the shirt immediately and changes into something else, despite the fact that she only has underwear below and they are in the middle of Shibuya, a busy shopping district. Kazuha is greatly surprised by this, and starts thinking that she was wrong about Ran.
* At a temple for prayers, Heiji says Kazuha should ask for nice legs, causing Kazuha to blush.
* After the case concludes, Ran pushes Kazuha to wear the same sort of shirt as Heiji. When Heiji notices, Kazuha blushes and says she will change. Heiji says he does not mind, because it makes them look like siblings. Kazuha looks nonplussed by this unromantic comparison.

==== [[Volume 23|Volume 23: File 230]] / [[The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case|Episode 174: The Symphony Serial Murder Case]] ====
* Heiji looks at the charm Kazuha secretly slipped into his things, wondering if that is what protected him. Ran realizes where he got it, causing him to blush and say he should have thrown it away already, although instead he tucks it safely away to keep.

==== [[Volume 25|Volume 25: Files 246-250]] / [[Tottori Spider Mansion Demon|Episodes 166-168: Tottori Spider Mansion Demon]]====
* When Heiji suggests that he and Kazuha might have to cuddle with each other so they won't get a cold while camping outdoors, Kazuha blushes and imagines a sleeping Heiji putting his arm around Kazuha inside the tent.
* Heiji frantically calls Kazuha's name and immediately calms down when he sees her. When Yuzo Takeda states how after both Conan and Heiji learned that the place the girls were going was cursed and dashed out, Kazuha, blushes and smiles,then asks if he was worried. Blushing, Heiji denies that's not the case.
* Heiji becomes horrified when he sees Kazuha tangled in wires; he proceeds to repeatedly shout her name, pleading that she wakes up. When Kazuha does wake up, Heiji has a content look on his face.
* When confronting the Takeda family on Kazuha being attacked by the murderer, Heiji mockingly states that after Kazuha wakes up, she will reveal who attempted to kill her. The classic "red, angry" mark can be seen on his head, meaning how ''furious'' Heiji is of who tried to hurt Kazuha.
* Kazuha blushes and twitches her eyes when Heiji tells her to "take off her clothes" (it had to do with the case). He even tries to take off her shirt, himself, earning him a well deserved slap in the face.
* When the murderer is revealed, Heiji confronts him about how he went too far by bringing Kazuha into things. When the killer dismisses this, Heiji angrily reveals how the man's love died (a misunderstanding due to the killer being foreign and not knowing that much about Japanese) just out of spite. Even Conan thinks that it is cruel to do so, but Heiji holds no remorse.

==== [[Volume 28|Volume 28: File 279-283]] / [[And Then There Were No Mermaids|Episodes 222-224: And Then There Were No Mermaids]] ====
* Kazuha says she has thought about staying forever young and beautiful. When Ran asks if she wants to because of liking Heiji, Kazuha blushes and tells Ran to not talk so loud.
* After the murder occurs, Kazuha happily tells Ran that the criminal will be found soon because Heiji has flipped his cap from back to front, a sign that he is now seriously investigating the case. She adds with a blush that she hopes that Ran will fall in love with him, because she thinks that she cannot compete with Ran. Ran hugs Kazuha and calls her cute in response.
* After the second murder, Heiji tells Kazuha not to wander off, causing her to blush. She takes him at his word and follows as he investigates, as well as offering to protect him with her blessed arrow. Heiji does not think much of it, but Kazuha privately affirms that she means it seriously.
* In pursuit of a memorial stone, Heiji runs nearly off a cliff, saved only by Kazuha swinging him around to trade places. As a result, she falls, and Heiji dives after her, catching onto a tree in the cliff face with one hand and her with the other. Kazuha believes the branch Heiji is holding will break if he tries to pull her up, and proceeds to stab the hand holding her wrist with the mermaid arrow to transfer her "long life" to Heiji. To her surprise, Heiji still does not let go, and eventually gets them both to safety despite the injury (in an unspecified manner).
{{cquote|Even if I die, I won't let you go.|Heiji refusing to drop Kazuha.}}
* After Kazuha expresses her relief that Heiji's hand has apparently already healed overnight, Heiji thinks to himself that he will not let her be hurt (even, apparently, with only feelings of guilt). He showed her and Ran the wrong hand, hiding the bandaged one in his pocket.
{{cquote|Fool. You're too naive. I will never... never... let you be hurt.|Heiji's secret promise to Kazuha.}}

* Kazuha overhears Heiji talking secretively on the phone with Shinichi, and assumes that he is "having an affair" with a mysterious woman. She attends the party with Heiji, suspicious that the "woman" asked Heiji to come.
* When the murder occurs, Heiji tells Kazuha to keep the suspects staying put, trusting that she will do so.
* Kazuha tells Ran not to worry about Conan helping Heiji investigate, and proudly adds that since Heiji's on the case, no one will get hurt.

==== [[Volume 31|Volume 31: Files 314-317]] & [[Volume 32|Volume 32: Files 318-321]] / [[The Osaka Double Mystery - The Naniwa Swordsman and Toyotomi's Castle|Episode 263: The Naniwa Swordsman and Toyotomi's Castle]] ====
*At the kendo tournament, Kazuha blushes as she tells [[Shizuka Hattori|Shizuka]] that Heiji has gotten very strong as a kendo fighter. She also helps Heiji put his gear on (only manga).
*Kazuha reassures Heiji's kendo team after Heiji is to preoccupied with the murder investigation to play on the team, saying that they'll win and when they do they'll rub it in his face.
*Kazuha grabs Heiji's hand to get to the final match in time.
*Exhausted from chasing Heiji at the tournament, Kazuha falls asleep on Heiji's shoulder at dinner. Causing Heiji to blush slightly.
* While in the car, Kazuha overhears [[Ginshiro Toyama|her father]] telling [[Heizo Hattori|Heiji's father]] that since Kazuha is reaching marriageable age, he would rather she marry Heiji than some "irresponsible punk". Kazuha blushes at the thought, and is disappointed when her father tells Heizo it was a joke.
* Heiji berates Kazuha for giving Kogoro, Ran, and Conan the exact same information and tour he did when they first came to Osaka, making Kazuha angry and embarrassed at Heiji's statement.
* Heiji leads Kazuha away from the role play group by the arm when she tries to interact with them more, calling them "'''Weirdos'''".
* When Kazuha loses her wallet, she refuses to give up looking for it because it had her good-luck charm (with the handcuff chain) and other charms to ward off a murder case inside.
* Heiji tells Kazuha not to cry in an uncomfortable voice after a raindrop falls on her face, making her look like she started to cry over her wallet.
* Kazuha called her father to help investigate because he knows additional information about the case; she initially tries to get Heiji to leave with her, but then leaves with just Ran because she wants to see his triumphant expression when he's solved the case. When he gets that expression, she blushes happily and assures the others that Heiji knows who the criminal is.
* Heiji looks the most concerned when he hears Kazuha's scream in the distance.
* Heiji pays close attention to Kazuha as she explains what happened when she and Ran were walking on the bridge to pick up Conan from the crime scene.

* Heiji interrupts two men flirting with Kazuha and Ran. When asked who he is, Heiji answers "My...", which causes Kazuha to blush, before he adds she is merely his childhood friend and a bit annoying, to Kazuha's disappointment. Ran comments in the background that his statement was phrased oddly, as if that might not have been what he originally intended to say.

* When Heiji drops the pin he was using to unlock the handcuffs, Kazuha becomes panicked and Heiji asks if she has some type of wire with her. She tells him that was the only thing she had.
* Kazuha asks Heiji if it would just be better for them to solve the code they gave them, since they said they would be released unharmed if they did.
* Heiji and Kazuha are threatened by the two kidnappers that if they didn't solve the code, then they would be as cold as the other guy they caught.
* Kazuha whispers Heiji's name softly in fear and Heiji comforts her by saying that they don't know "That Guy" (referencing Shinichi), causing Kazuha to become confused at his statement.

* When Heiji's plan is foiled to get the gun away from Misari, he gets kicked down and Kazuha cries out his name in concern and fear.
* While Misari is counting down before she shoots Heiji, He tells Kazuha that he was telling the truth when he said that his final words were for her.

* When the mother is late, Kazuha gives the baby over to Heiji telling him that she's gonna go check on her and to not make the baby cry while she's gone.
* When Kazuha comes back, she scolds Heiji for making the baby cry when she told him not to. Heiji defensively replies back that he couldn't help it if she cried or not as he hands the baby back to her.
* After Kazuha calms Kaoru, she tells Heiji that the mother wasn't in the bathroom and Heiji starts to ponder if the mother had abandoned Kaoru to them since she looked to be only 20 years old. To which Kazuha explains that couldn't be the case before Kaoru started to cry again.
* Kazuha tells Heiji that she's going to change her diaper and that he needs to take out a fresh diaper and some wet wipes for her. Heiji complies and hands over the baby supplies to Kazuha as she starts to change Kaoru's diaper.
* After Kazuha takes off the diaper, she informs Heiji that Kaoru is actually a boy. Shocking Heiji and Conan as they lean over to see for themselves.
* Heiji goes on to explain to Kazuha that Kaoru could've been kidnapped by the lady who gave him over for them to watch since she didn't know how to properly dress the baby up as a boy.
* After Heiji, Kazuha, and Conan solve the mystery of the baby Kaoru, Heiji says to Kazuha that nothing beats a happy ending and that he may have read to deeply into the situation. Causing Kazuha to yell at him calling him a crime maniac. But Heiji retorts saying that it was her fault in the first place for agreeing to watch over the baby to begin with. They start having one of their married couple arguments.
* Heiji and Kazuha jog in place and look at each other as a depressed Conan sighs about missing out on his lunch.
* Heiji and Kazuha wave Goodbye to Conan as he leaves with the rest back home to Tokyo with guilty looks on their faces.
* Heiji and Kazuha have a good time together as they eat Okonomiyaki, but Kazuha feels guilty and comments that Conan should be starving by now. Heiji tells her that she shouldn't worry about him since he's probably eating on boxed lunches on the train back home.
* Laughing together, Heiji and Kazuha continue to eat their Okonomiyaki joyfully.

Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato

2023-06-24T09:56:40Z

Hoshi30: some changes

The romantic relationship between [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Miwako Sato]].
== Relationship analysis ==
[[Image:Takagi and Sato.jpg|thumb|250px|Takagi and Sato]]
'''[[Wataru Takagi]]''' and '''[[Miwako Sato]]''' are two officers working under Inspector Megure in the first division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, where Sato is currently Takagi's superior. As the story progresses, they start developing strong mutual romantic feelings for one another.

Despite being heavily admired by many male colleagues around her, especially Inspector [[Shiratori]] in the beginning, Sato still cares and worries about Takagi deeply, most notably during situations where his safety was put at risk. She also finds in Takagi traits that remind her of her late colleague, [[Jinpei Matsuda]], whom she had become romantically inclined towards in the brief time they've known each other. Takagi, on the other hand, respects Sato as his senior and loves her sincerely as a girlfriend, even to the point of willingly sacrificing his own life just to keep her away from all dangers.<ref>Manga: [[Volume 64]], File 673: "The Common Pattern"; Anime: [[The Scar that Evokes the Past]].</ref> After going through numerous difficulties and challenges, in some later cases, their relationship was hinted to have entered a sexual level; however, the true nature of this development has yet to be confirmed.<ref>'''Hints of sexual relationship:'''
* [[Volume 76]], File 806, Page 6 ([[The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love]]): Sato accidentally reveals that she and Takagi have been sleeping together, and blushed awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation.
* [[Volume 82]], File 867, Page 6 ([[The Case of the Lucky Calico]]): Takagi accidentally reveals that he has slept on Sato's bed because he knows that it's "soft and fluffy", both of them blushed awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation; later in Page 9, Takagi whispers to Sato that "what was really soft and warm ''wasn't'', of course, the bedding..." in front of the kids, making her furiously embarrassed.
* [[Volume 82]], Files 869~871 ([[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9]]): Takagi misunderstands that Sato is pregnant, and is strongly convinced that the baby is his, which wouldn't make sense if they never had sexual relationship.</ref>

A running joke in the series is that their relationship never progresses because of interruptions by the rest of the police force or other characters.

== Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato moments ==
=== Manga/Anime ===
==== [[Volume 12|Volume 21: Files 208-210]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|Episodes 146-147: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]] ====
* Takagi tells the Detective Boys that he likes someone and they infer that it is Sato.
* Takagi was told by Yumi that the person Sato likes is in the first division. He wonders who it is, and worries that it might be [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], as, when Sato heard that Shiratori was just promoted to the rank of Police Inspector (despite being so young), she asked jokingly whether Shiratori could add her to the list of people who wished to marry him.
* Shiratori invites Sato out for dinner at a French restaurant after the case is resolved, and is dejected when he gets rejected politely by Sato (her reason is that she does not like the formalities in those restaurants).
* Sato instead invites Takagi to have ramen for dinner, but then completely forgets about this when Inspector Megure asks her whether she wants to celebrate having solved the case and have a drink alongside other colleagues. This makes Takagi worried that the one Sato likes might be Megure instead of Shiratori.

==== [[Volume 23|Volume 23: File 231-233]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2|Episodes 156-157: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] ====
* Takagi asks if Sato likes Inspector Megure, to which Sato replies "yes". She explains it is because he reminds her of her father (who was a police officer and died on duty when she was in primary school). This implies that Sato has no romantic feelings towards Megure, which greatly relieves Takagi.
* Sato's popularity among police officers in Tokyo is shown for the first time. When she is missing, male police officers from all departments and divisions start roaming through the city, frantically looking for her.

==== [[Volume 27|Volume 27: Files 267-269]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3|Episodes 205-206: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3]] ====
[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP206 (1).jpg|thumb|250px]]
* Sato says that she would grant any wish of the person who solves the case leading to her father's death (i.e. the Shuushirou case), prompting Takagi and Shiratori to fantasize about Sato in a wedding dress.
* Takagi forgets his handcuffs and says the fortune telling magazine says that he will be super lucky today. It gives Sato flashbacks of the day her father died, when he left home he had forgotten his handcuffs and also said he would be super lucky that day. Sato gives her old, rusty handcuffs to Takagi, telling him they are a memento of her father and that it will sure bring him luck. Shiratori looks decidedly put out.
* Later, Takagi is handcuffed to the windows of an abandoned warehouse that has been set on fire; Sato wants to rush into the warehouse to save Takagi but is stopped by Shiratori and Megure. As bits of the warehouse crumbles, Sato yells out that Takagi is a baka, with tears in her eyes, only to hear Takagi answering her from behind them.
* Takagi has managed to save himself, but was still handcuffed to a metal bar, he collapses from the wound to his head, and Sato notices he has a gun and asks him why he didn't just shoot the handcuffs with his gun. The Detective Boys answer that it must have been because the handcuffs were the memento from Sato's father and he didn't want to damage them.
* Sato holds Takagi's unconscious body, and Shiratori stands to the side with his arms crossed.
* To show her thanks and keep her promise (because Takagi figured out the mystery), she asks what Takagi's wish is, and he says that he wants to go on a date with her. Sato agrees to the date happily, but it ends up being an undercover mission instead.

==== [[Volume 30|Volume 30: Files 296-298]] / [[The Shinkansen Transport Case|Episodes 240-241: The Shinkansen Transport Case]] ====
* As Ran is mulling over her failed attempt to ask about Shinichi's feelings for her, Takagi walks by muttering, "doing it directly is bad..." about his situation with Sato (Ran, Kogoro and Conan do not realize what he is talking about, though).
* A ticket to a magic show drops out of Takagi's jacket, and when asked by Sato, Takagi says that Yumi had an extra ticket and invited him, but that he was not too interested. Takagi's words here are actually pre-meditated, and all this is part of Yumi's plan to test whether Sato likes Takagi. Since Sato's expression does not change when she hears this, and she instead encourages Takagi to go with Yumi, Takagi concludes that Sato has no feelings towards him. He thus becomes very dejected and resigned.
* Later, Takagi gets a phone call from Yumi asking how it has gone, and as it has gone badly and he is additionally in the middle of dealing with an important case, he hangs up quickly shouting for her to call him at a better time.
* After the case is solved Sato approaches Yumi and asks her if she likes Takagi. Yumi is thrown off guard by this question and exclaims loudly, and when Sato pursues, Yumi says that she does not like Takagi at all. Sato remarks that she thought so, and advises Yumi to stop messing with Takagi, as "Takagi has been really troubled ever since he got your tickets to the magic show".
* This interaction makes Yumi believe that Sato does indeed like Takagi. She initially wants to tell Takagi about this to lighten him up, but then changes his mind, as Sato concludes her advice by saying "you should find a man suitable for yourself and enter a serious relationship with him".
* Kogoro, Ran and Conan comment that Sato is in an awfully good mood for someone who just got her pay cut (because a suspect had died in police custody); Conan hypothesizes that "maybe something good happened" (of course, they do not know that Sato's good mood comes from the relief after confirming that Yumi does not like Takagi).

==== [[Volume 32|Volume 32: File 328-330]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4|Episodes 253-254: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4]] ====
* Sato, pressured by her mom to attend an omiai (arranged marriage meeting), randomly picks a photo of a possible suitor (with her toes, no less), and it turns out to be Shiratori.
* Yumi promises to send her a "servant" (Takagi) to save Sato (who had just agreed to a bet with Shiratori that she’d marry him if Takagi didn’t show up within the time the sun sets), and she texts Takagi. However, he is caught up with a case and doesn't read the message until Conan, (who happens to be there eavesdropping with Araide, Ran and Sonoko at the time) calls him using Shinichi's voice and explains the situation. He also helps Takagi with the case.
* Sato, who had just agreed to the wager, thinks that Takagi will definitely come, and then, blushing, she wonders why she thinks that.
* As the sun is about to set, Sato resigns herself to the deal and thinks herself a failure as a police officer for not realizing until just now how important Takagi has become to her.
* Just as Shiratori is about to seal their deal with a kiss, Conan uses Araide's shadow and his voice-changing bow tie to imitate Takagi's form and voice, stopping the kiss, and thus the deal.
* The real Takagi is waiting outside the house, thinking that he failed to stop the bet, when Sato runs out and gets in his car.
* Here it is shown that Conan approves of their relationship.

==== [[Volume 36|Volume 36: Files 366-368]] / [[Parade of Malice and Saint|Episodes 301-302: Parade of Malice and Saint]] ====
[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP302.jpg|thumb|250px]]
* Sato and Takagi are planning to go on a date, but since Takagi is interrogated on this matter and fails to keep silent, everyone in the first division learns about it, and it seems lots of them have requested days off and reserved binoculars for that day.
* Shiratori proudly tells Yumi that if there is a date between Sato and Takagi, they can rest assured that the date will be spied upon by many police officers, and that he will be in charge of the spying mission.
* Takagi puts on a disguise that reminds Sato of her former colleague [[Matsuda|Jinpei Matsuda]]. Because of the special role that Matsuda plays in Sato's heart, she slaps him and suddenly becomes icy cold towards Takagi (despite the fact that Takagi does not know about Matsuda at all).
* Takagi almost gets blown up and Sato frantically tries to rescue him, not knowing that Takagi is safe, burning her hands in the process. The other infer that she was trying to save both Takagi and Matsuda.
* At the end, Sato apologizes for having slapped Takagi, and Takagi frets over Sato's hands, resulting in them staring into each other's eyes until they pull away, both blushing.
* Sato says everyone she has ever cared about deeply has died, and that therefore it would be better if she and Takagi went back to just being colleagues. Takagi does not have the courage to say otherwise, so agrees after a while. Sato walks away sadly as Takagi stares after her and Yumi and the Detective Boys watch in the background, apparently disappointed.

==== [[Volume 36|Volume 36: File 369-373]] / [[The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: The Trembling Police Headquarters]] ====
[[Image:Sato Takagi interupted.jpg|thumb|250px|Sato and Takagi were close to kissing before Megure interrupted.]]
* Takagi thinks he cannot compete against Matsuda, and is mocked by the Detective Boys. Takagi says he doesn't want to give up either.
* Sato dreams and sees the grim reaper behind Takagi, and doesn't take him to investigate bomb sites, because she doesn't want anything to happen to him.
* Near the end of the case, Sato begins to cry on Takagi's shoulder saying that she wants to forget Matsuda, and after Takagi tells her she should not forget (as that would mean that Matsuda is really dead), Sato becomes deeply touched, and the two nearly kiss. However, they are interrupted by [[Juzo Megure|Megure]].
* Sato deletes her precious last message from Matsuda (the one where he told Sato about the next bombing site and confessed his love to her), but she thinks that she will never forget him.

==== (TV Original) [[The Kidnapper's Disappearing Getaway Car|Episode 321: The Kidnapper's Disappearing Getaway Car]] ====
* Sato and Takagi have to pretend to be lovers, and both are embarrassed, Sato makes Takagi sit closer to her and put his arm around her.

==== [[Volume 40|Volume 40: Files 404-406]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 5|Episodes 358-359: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 5]] ====
* Takagi and Sato are going on their very first date at the Tropical Marine Land, and Shiratori (as he once said he would) is leading a large group of police officers equipped with cameras, binoculars and camouflage to spy on and sabotage the date.
* Shiratori is not shy to use rather extreme methods for disruption, for example making police officers smear the police (in general) so that Sato would get angry, and giving the Detective Boys tickets to Tropical Marine Land and leading them to Takagi and Sato so that they would have to take care of them.
* Agasa was initially accompanying the Detective Boys, but Shiratori asks him to go home to confirm some details in a previous case, thus ensuring that the Detective Boys would never leave Takagi and Sato.
* Takagi thinks that the Detective Boys are a burden, as he has bought a ring for Sato and wants to take the opportunity to give it to her. Sato does not mind, though, and jokes that Takagi can view it as preparation of what comes when they have a baby.
* Before Takagi is able to give the ring to Sato, his bag has been switched with that of a drug dealer's; that bag is full of cocaine. So now Takagi is dragged into a case (on top of all the other troubles that Takagi is facing). Eventually the bag drops into a river and the ring is lost.
* Sato makes Takagi promise that he will never go away and leave her.
* Conan thinks to himself that although Takagi lost his ring, he has gained something much more precious.

==== [[Volume 44|Volume 44: Files 450-452]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 6|Episodes 390-391: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 6]] ====
* Sato sternly orders Takagi to get into her car, so Takagi wonders if he did something wrong. He starts worrying and even thinks she is going to break up with him. However, when he opens the door and a toy snake leaps out, scaring him, Sato starts laughing, commenting that the trick worked perfectly. Takagi is relieved and they flirt cutely (Chiba and Shiratori are actually watching them the entire time).
* The police department is led to believe that Takagi will be sent to Tottori to deal with a complex case. This makes them ecstatic, as, in this way, Takagi will be staying away from Sato for a long time (perhaps a few years). Takagi is disappointed that Sato seems to be indifferent, even asking for twentieth century pears while Yumi burst into tears.
* While investigating the case, Takagi yells, "I am definitely not going to find another woman! Definitely not!" when he overhears the Detective Boys chatting about Hide (the soccer player) leaving the country and finding a girlfriend as he thought they were talking about him. When he realizes that this is not the case, he is quite embarrassed.
* Takagi is upset that Sato still has not shown any emotion about his leaving Tokyo, but when Sato falls for her own trick with the toy snake, she is silent and appears upset. Then, she suddenly asks Takagi to swear that even if there are cute female police officers in Tottori, he will stay loyal to her. Takagi does exactly this.
* Right after Takagi blurts that he wants to be engaged with Sato before he leaves, Megure informs them that it is actually Chosuke Takagi who is being sent away, and not Wataru.
*Sato, who is blushing a lot, asks what Takagi just said, but he quickly changes the subject and says that they should go to karaoke with the kids. Takagi is shown sighing at the karaoke with Conan and Ai watching him.

==== [[Volume 47|Volume 47: Files 484-486]] / [[A Jewel Thief Caught Red-Handed|Episodes 401-402: A Jewel Thief Caught Red-Handed]] ====
* The Detective Boys run into Takagi as he enters into a jewelry shop to buy a brooch for Sato (he is doing so because Yumi claimed that when Sato saw the brooch on a magazine, she stared at it for a long time). The jewelry is subsequently robbed, and the robber took the brooch.
* Shiratori heckles him about the jewelry shop visit and the brooch.
* After solving the case, Takagi is able to retrieve the brooch from the culprit's coat. Sato remarks that Yumi once told her that she liked the brooch, and that since she does not like flashy things, she would lend jewelries to Yumi. This makes it clear that Yumi is just using Sato's popularity to trick male police officers into indirectly buying her things that she wants.
* Yumi mentions that she plans to continue doing this, and that her next victim will be Assistant Inspector Takano.

==== Not in manga / [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]] ====
* While Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are working on [[Rena Mizunashi|Rena Mizunashi]]'s bell ringer prank case, Conan hops to the apartment next door; it is supposed to be unoccupied.
* Conan looks on a glass door or window and sees "ki", "mi" and "wa" (き、み、わ) written on it.
* When it dawns on Conan what is going on, he calls Takagi, who admits that a few days ago, he was doing a stakeout, and wrote "Takagi Miwako" on the glass and forgot to wipe it up. In short, he wrote what Sato's name would be if they were to marry.
* By the time that Conan sees the glass, the "ta", "ka" and "ko" (た、か、こ) have disappeared.

* Takagi and Sato are invited to a goukon (singles mixer) separately, and both agree to go to even out the numbers. Since neither tells the other about this beforehand, when they meet at the goukon, they both get jealous (especially when they see each other paying attention to other people).
* In the middle of the case, Sato and Takagi get into a jealous quarrel.
* After the case is solved, Takagi and Sato come together to resolve the slightly awkward situation, and they come to the conclusion that neither has done anything wrong, and that just like winning lottery, them meeting at the same Toulon is something very unlikely. Takagi thus mentions that he has never won the lottery.
* Sato, upon hearing Takagi's words, asks whether getting her would count as winning the lottery. Takagi, of course, says that Sato is a super win ticket. The two then nearly kiss, before being reminded that Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are still in the backseat.

* Sato is annoyed that Yumi is sticking too close to Takagi as Yumi and Takagi play stand-ins for a couple on their wedding day (Shiratori, on the other hand, suggests that they make it real and marry on the spot).
* Later in the case, Sato switches places with Yumi to protect her from the culprit (i.e. the groom himself). She tries to arrest the groom as he escapes, but then mistakenly pins Takagi down to the ground (since the groom looks a lot like Takagi); the groom is instead taken down by Ran.
* It turns out that a witness to Sato's "assault" on Takagi is a famous photographer. So, it is not surprising that sometime later, while walking on the streets, the police officers see the picture that he took of Sato pinning Takagi down in a commercial ad. Sato and Takagi are embarrassed, and Chiba slyly tells Shiratori that taking the ad down would constitute a crime.

*Scared about the thunder, Takagi strongly hugs Sato at the height of the breasts causing her furiosly embarassed and hit him.

* Takagi (and the rest of the first division) notice the sudden appearance of a ring on Sato's left hand. Takagi's colleagues initially thought that it was his ring, but is turns out that Takagi is equally confused and annoyed.
* Ran congratulates Takagi on his engagement to Sato, and is shocked when Takagi tells her that the ring is not from him. He says that he feels like he is on a tightrope with Sato (this turns out to be a useful hint that helps Conan solve the case).
* It turns out that Sato was just wearing it as a charm. Takagi, summoning all his bravery, asks Sato to wear the ring that he has bought for her. Sato agrees, but because she still thinks it is but a charm.

[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP530 (5).jpg|thumb|250px|Sato almost kisses Takagi, Conan is scolded for interrupting ]]
* Takagi and Sato are on a stakeout mission when Sato says suddenly “give me a hot kiss right now!”. Takagi is greatly surprised by this but complies, but before their lips can meet, they are interrupted by Conan, who points out that they are pretending to be lovers so that the suspect that they are spying on would not grow suspicious (Conan is then scolded by Sonoko, as she is supportive of the relationship as well).
* Later, during the investigation of the suspect's mansion, they both trip in the bathroom. They end up face to face, staring into each others' eyes while blushing, until Conan coughs and interrupts them again.
* Takagi keeps thinking back to the almost kiss, and gets jealous and furious at Chiba over the fact that Sato also pulled the "appear as lovers, pretend to kiss" ploy with him on previous stakeouts (Chiba told Takagi that he would never forget that “soft feeling”, and Takagi mistakenly thought that Chiba was referring to Sato's lips).
* Later, Takagi realizes that Sato only asked Chiba to hold her hands, and that she asked Takagi to kiss her only because it was him.
* Wanting Sato to do the same again, Takagi suddenly become very enthusiastic about stakeout missions with Sato. However, there are other officers in the first division named Sato, and not informing himself before signing up for the stakeout leads to Takagi ending up doing stakeouts with a mid-aged man.

==== [[Volume 64|Volume 64: Files 667-673]] / [[The Scar that Evokes the Past|Episodes 534-535: The Scar that Evokes the Past]] ====
* Sato tells Takagi that if he manages to solve the case, she will go with him to the new hot springs place, and this motivates Takagi to takes up a more active role in the investigation. Sato, however, begins to worry when she hears from Matsumoto that this is a very bad signal and that such reckless behavior is likely to trigger Takagi's death in the line of duty. She is even reminded of her father and Jinpei Matsuda.
* Takagi is captured by the culprit, and then receives a cellphone call from Sato. The culprit deduces that Sato is Takagi's girlfriend and tries to force him to reply so that Sato could be lured to him for the culprit to take her as hostage. Takagi, not wanting to put Sato in danger, breaks said cellphone instead, winks to the culprit and tells him “guess I will be your only hostage now.”
* A few minutes later, the police is notified of Takagi's situation, and officers are dispatched to break into the culprit's house to save Takagi. Takagi
mistakenly believes that Sato is among them, and he fears that when she rushes in, the culprit would open fire on her. For this reason, he tries to take the culprit down by himself (despite being injured and having no weapons on himself); he ends up being shot, but luckily is able to survive, and the officers rushing in after hearing the gunshot are able to apprehend the culprit without being injured themselves.
* Sato is crushed when she believes Takagi has died, and then is greatly relieved when Shiratori tells her that he is actually alive. She rushes towards Takagi's room, and Takagi complains that he now cannot go to the new hot springs place, and that every kissing occasion that arose ended up being interrupted.
* Sato thus kisses Takagi on the spot. The Detective Boys witness this scene and ward off Matsumoto and others, who are about to enter the room to see how Takagi is recovering.

==== [[Volume 68|Volume 68: File 708]] / [[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|Episodes 583-585: Kobayashi-sensei's Love]] ====
* Since recent intelligence suggests that Takagi and Sato are getting closer and closer, their jealous colleagues at the first division rush to Shiratori to ask what the plan is now. Shiratori seems completely unbothered by those recent developments, and tells them that he has stepped down from the leadership role of the group trying to disrupt Takagi and Sato's relationship.
* After Shiratori shows off the bento that Sumiko made for him, Takagi asks Sato for one as well. Sato misinterprets Takagi's words and responds that if he is going to the convenience store to buy Bento, it would be great if he buy hers one as well. This leaves Takagi slightly dejected and Chiba amused.

==== [[Volume 69|Volume 69: File 725-727]] / [[White Day of Betrayal|Episodes 608-609: White Day of Betrayal]] ====
* On White Day, Sato overhears Ran and Sonoko's discussions about return gifts, and thus turns to Takagi and sticks out her hand expectantly. Takagi points out that he did not get any Valentine's Day presents from Sato, and Sato indignantly retorts that she gave him candy during a stakeout that night. Takagi points out that it was only pocky and that Sato had already eaten some beforehand. After Shiratori drives by with a carload of gifts for Sumiko, Sato throws Takagi a sour look.
* Later on, Sato is trying to focus and trying to forget something ominous her friend told her that will happen if her boyfriend does not give her return candy.
* After the case is solved, Takagi tricks Sato into opening the glove compartment of her car, which is where he hid the return gift. Sato becomes extremely happy with this turn of events, while Takagi remarks that he put the gift inside 3 days beforehand.

* Due to a massive misunderstanding, Takagi is kidnapped and placed in a cruel death trap in Hokkaido. Sato takes a very active role in his rescue, being very aggressive with the culprit when she finds him in order to find clues about the whereabouts of Takagi.
* At some point in the investigation, Sato lets it slip that she knows Takagi does not move too much when he is sleeping, even adding that he looks very cute. She is greatly embarrassed when she realizes the kids are listening, and claims that she knows these things because one time, they took a nap while on a stakeout mission.
* Sato saves Takagi barely in time and kisses him when he is finally back to safety. This scene is captured by the camera, and their colleagues at the first division become furious when they see it; one even remarks that he would rather Takagi to be dead than be saved.

==== [[Volume 82|Volume 82: Files 865-868]] / [[The Case of the Lucky Calico|Episodes 751-752: The Case of the Lucky Calico]] ====
* Takagi accidentally reveals that he has slept on Sato's bed (as he knows that it is "soft and fluffy"). Both of them blush awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation about their relationship, and they are unable to come up with an explanation.
* Later, on page 9 of file 867, Takagi whispers to Sato that "what was really soft and warm was not, of course, the bedding..." in front of the kids, thus embarrassing her again (note: the implication of them having a sexual relationship is so direct that this dialogue is not included in the anime).

* Takagi mistakenly believes that Sato is pregnant with his child, so he says he will take full responsibility (the fact that he jumps to this conclusion shows how far they have come in their relationship).
* As Yumi and Naeko are eavesdropping in the next car, they mistakenly believe that Sato is pregnant as well. They proceed to tell everyone in the first division about this, and they witness them go through all three stages of grief: they are first greatly astonished and begin weeping; then sadness turns into ire and fury; then, in the end, their rationality comes back, and they "arrest" Takagi for a new round of interrogation.
* The interrogation will certainly yield very little, as Takagi already knows at that point that Sato is not pregnant.

Sato is unaware of this, as Takagi told her that he had managed to take a day off, until she receives a call from Inspector Megure, who mentions that Takagi is on sick leave.

Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato

Hoshi30: Undo revision 346005 by Hoshi30 (talk)

The romantic relationship between [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Miwako Sato]].
== Relationship analysis ==
[[Image:Takagi and Sato.jpg|thumb|250px|Takagi and Sato]]
'''[[Wataru Takagi]]''' and '''[[Miwako Sato]]''' are two officers working under Inspector Megure in the first division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, where Sato is currently Takagi's superior. As the story progresses, they start developing strong mutual romantic feelings for one another.

Despite being heavily admired by many male colleagues around her, especially Inspector [[Shiratori]] in the beginning, Sato still cares and worries about Takagi deeply, most notably during situations where his safety was put at risk. She also finds in Takagi traits that remind her of her late colleague, [[Jinpei Matsuda]], whom she had become romantically inclined towards in the brief time they've known each other. Takagi, on the other hand, respects Sato as his senior and loves her sincerely as a girlfriend, even to the point of willingly sacrificing his own life just to keep her away from all dangers.<ref>Manga: [[Volume 64]], File 673: "The Common Pattern"; Anime: [[The Scar that Evokes the Past]].</ref> After going through numerous difficulties and challenges, in some later cases, their relationship was hinted to have entered a sexual level; however, the true nature of this development has yet to be confirmed.<ref>'''Hints of sexual relationship:'''
* [[Volume 76]], File 806, Page 6 ([[The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love]]): Sato accidentally reveals that she and Takagi have been sleeping together, and blushed awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation.
* [[Volume 82]], File 867, Page 6 ([[The Case of the Lucky Calico]]): Takagi accidentally reveals that he has slept on Sato's bed because he knows that it's "soft and fluffy", both of them blushed awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation; later in Page 9, Takagi whispers to Sato that "what was really soft and warm ''wasn't'', of course, the bedding..." in front of the kids, making her furiously embarrassed.
* [[Volume 82]], Files 869~871 ([[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9]]): Takagi misunderstands that Sato is pregnant, and is strongly convinced that the baby is his, which wouldn't make sense if they never had sexual relationship.</ref>

A running joke in the series is that their relationship never progresses because of interruptions by the rest of the police force or other characters.

==== [[Volume 12|Volume 21: Files 208-210]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|Episode 146-147: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]] ====
* Takagi tells the Detective Boys that he likes someone and they infer that it is Sato.
* Takagi was told by Yumi that the person Sato likes is in the first division. He wonders who it is, and worries that it might be [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], as, when Sato heard that Shiratori was just promoted to the rank of Police Inspector (despite being so young), she asked jokingly whether Shiratori could add her to the list of people who wished to marry him.
* Shiratori invites Sato out for dinner at a French restaurant after the case is resolved, and is dejected when he gets rejected politely by Sato (her reason is that she does not like the formalities in those restaurants).
* Sato instead invites Takagi to have ramen for dinner, but then completely forgets about this when Inspector Megure asks her whether she wants to celebrate having solved the case and have a drink alongside other colleagues. This makes Takagi worried that the one Sato likes might be Megure instead of Shiratori.

==== [[Volume 23|Volume 23: File 231-233]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2|Episode 156-157: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] ====
* Takagi asks if Sato likes Inspector Megure, to which Sato replies "yes". She explains it is because he reminds her of her father (who was a police officer and died on duty when she was in primary school). This implies that Sato has no romantic feelings towards Megure, which greatly relieves Takagi.
* Sato's popularity among police officers in Tokyo is shown for the first time. When she is missing, male police officers from all departments and divisions start roaming through the city, frantically looking for her.

==== [[Volume 27|Volume 27: Files 267-269]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3|Episode 205-206: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3]] ====
[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP206 (1).jpg|thumb|250px]]
* Sato says that she would grant any wish of the person who solves the case leading to her father's death (i.e. the Shuushirou case), prompting Takagi and Shiratori to fantasize about Sato in a wedding dress.
* Takagi forgets his handcuffs and says the fortune telling magazine says that he will be super lucky today. It gives Sato flashbacks of the day her father died, when he left home he had forgotten his handcuffs and also said he would be super lucky that day. Sato gives her old, rusty handcuffs to Takagi, telling him they are a memento of her father and that it will sure bring him luck. Shiratori looks decidedly put out.
* Later, Takagi is handcuffed to the windows of an abandoned warehouse that has been set on fire; Sato wants to rush into the warehouse to save Takagi but is stopped by Shiratori and Megure. As bits of the warehouse crumbles, Sato yells out that Takagi is a baka, with tears in her eyes, only to hear Takagi answering her from behind them.
* Takagi has managed to save himself, but was still handcuffed to a metal bar, he collapses from the wound to his head, and Sato notices he has a gun and asks him why he didn't just shoot the handcuffs with his gun. The Detective Boys answer that it must have been because the handcuffs were the memento from Sato's father and he didn't want to damage them.
* Sato holds Takagi's unconscious body, and Shiratori stands to the side with his arms crossed.
* To show her thanks and keep her promise (because Takagi figured out the mystery), she asks what Takagi's wish is, and he says that he wants to go on a date with her. Sato agrees to the date happily, but it ends up being an undercover mission instead.

==== [[Volume 30|Volume 30: Files 296-298]] / [[The Shinkansen Transport Case|Episode 240-241: The Shinkansen Transport Case]] ====
* As Ran is mulling over her failed attempt to ask about Shinichi's feelings for her, Takagi walks by muttering, "doing it directly is bad..." about his situation with Sato (Ran, Kogoro and Conan do not realize what he is talking about, though).
* A ticket to a magic show drops out of Takagi's jacket, and when asked by Sato, Takagi says that Yumi had an extra ticket and invited him, but that he was not too interested. Takagi's words here are actually pre-meditated, and all this is part of Yumi's plan to test whether Sato likes Takagi. Since Sato's expression does not change when she hears this, and she instead encourages Takagi to go with Yumi, Takagi concludes that Sato has no feelings towards him. He thus becomes very dejected and resigned.
* Later, Takagi gets a phone call from Yumi asking how it has gone, and as it has gone badly and he is additionally in the middle of dealing with an important case, he hangs up quickly shouting for her to call him at a better time.
* After the case is solved Sato approaches Yumi and asks her if she likes Takagi. Yumi is thrown off guard by this question and exclaims loudly, and when Sato pursues, Yumi says that she does not like Takagi at all. Sato remarks that she thought so, and advises Yumi to stop messing with Takagi, as "Takagi has been really troubled ever since he got your tickets to the magic show".
* This interaction makes Yumi believe that Sato does indeed like Takagi. She initially wants to tell Takagi about this to lighten him up, but then changes his mind, as Sato concludes her advice by saying "you should find a man suitable for yourself and enter a serious relationship with him".
* Kogoro, Ran and Conan comment that Sato is in an awfully good mood for someone who just got her pay cut (because a suspect had died in police custody); Conan hypothesizes that "maybe something good happened" (of course, they do not know that Sato's good mood comes from the relief after confirming that Yumi does not like Takagi).

==== [[Volume 32|Volume 32: File 328-330]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4|Episode 253-254: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4]] ====
* Sato, pressured by her mom to attend an omiai (arranged marriage meeting), randomly picks a photo of a possible suitor (with her toes, no less), and it turns out to be Shiratori.
* Yumi promises to send her a "servant" (Takagi) to save Sato (who had just agreed to a bet with Shiratori that she’d marry him if Takagi didn’t show up within the time the sun sets), and she texts Takagi. However, he is caught up with a case and doesn't read the message until Conan, (who happens to be there eavesdropping with Araide, Ran and Sonoko at the time) calls him using Shinichi's voice and explains the situation. He also helps Takagi with the case.
* Sato, who had just agreed to the wager, thinks that Takagi will definitely come, and then, blushing, she wonders why she thinks that.
* As the sun is about to set, Sato resigns herself to the deal and thinks herself a failure as a police officer for not realizing until just now how important Takagi has become to her.
* Just as Shiratori is about to seal their deal with a kiss, Conan uses Araide's shadow and his voice-changing bow tie to imitate Takagi's form and voice, stopping the kiss, and thus the deal.

* Sato and Takagi are planning to go on a date, but since Takagi is interrogated on this matter and fails to keep silent, everyone in the first division learns about it, and it seems lots of them have requested days off and reserved binoculars for that day.

* Takagi puts on a disguise that reminds Sato of her former colleague [[Matsuda|Jinpei Matsuda]]. Because of the special role that Matsuda plays in Sato's heart, she slaps him and suddenly becomes icy cold towards Takagi (despite the fact that Takagi does not know about Matsuda at all).
* Takagi almost gets blown up and Sato frantically tries to rescue him, not knowing that Takagi is safe, burning her hands in the process. The other infer that she was trying to save both Takagi and Matsuda.

* Sato says everyone she has ever cared about deeply has died, and that therefore it would be better if she and Takagi went back to just being colleagues. Takagi does not have the courage to say otherwise, so agrees after a while. Sato walks away sadly as Takagi stares after her and Yumi and the Detective Boys watch in the background, apparently disappointed.

However, when he opens the door and a toy snake leaps out, scaring him, Sato starts laughing, commenting that the trick worked perfectly. Takagi is relieved and they flirt cutely (Chiba and Shiratori are actually watching them the entire time).
* The police department is led to believe that Takagi will be sent to Tottori to deal with a complex case. This makes them ecstatic, as, in this way, Takagi will be staying away from Sato for a long time (perhaps a few years). Takagi is disappointed that Sato seems to be indifferent, even asking for twentieth century pears while Yumi burst into tears.
* While investigating the case, Takagi yells, "I am definitely not going to find another woman! Definitely not!" when he overhears the Detective Boys chatting about Hide (the soccer player) leaving the country and finding a girlfriend as he thought they were talking about him. When he realizes that this is not the case, he is quite embarrassed.
* Takagi is upset that Sato still has not shown any emotion about his leaving Tokyo, but when Sato falls for her own trick with the toy snake, she is silent and appears upset. Then, she suddenly asks Takagi to swear that even if there are cute female police officers in Tottori, he will stay loyal to her. Takagi does exactly this.

*Sato, who is blushing a lot, asks what Takagi just said, but he quickly changes the subject and says that they should go to karaoke with the kids. Takagi is shown sighing at the karaoke with Conan and Ai watching him.

* Months later, it turns out that a witness to the 'attack' is a famous photographer and has used a picture he took of Sato pining Takagi down in a commercial ad. Sato and Takagi are embarrassed, and Chiba slyly tells Shiratori that taking the ad down would constitute a crime.

* Takagi and Sato are on a stakeout mission when Sato says suddenly “give me a hot kiss right now!”. Takagi is greatly surprised by this but complies, but before their lips can meet, they are interrupted by Conan, who points out that they are pretending to be lovers so that the suspect that they are spying on would not grow suspicious (Conan is then scolded by Sonoko, as she is supportive of the relationship as well).
* Later, during the investigation of the suspect's mansion, they both trip in the bathroom. They end up face to face, staring into each others' eyes while blushing, until Conan coughs and interrupts them again.
* Takagi keeps thinking back to the almost kiss, and gets jealous and furious at Chiba over the fact that Sato also pulled the "appear as lovers, pretend to kiss" ploy with him on previous stakeouts (Chiba told Takagi that he would never forget that “soft feeling”, and Takagi mistakenly thought that Chiba was referring to Sato's lips).

She is even reminded of her father and Jinpei Matsuda.
* Takagi is captured by the culprit, and then receives a cellphone call from Sato. The culprit deduces that Sato is Takagi's girlfriend and tries to force him to reply so that Sato could be lured to him for the culprit to take her as hostage. Takagi, not wanting to put Sato in danger, breaks said cellphone instead, winks to the culprit and tells him “guess I will be your only hostage now.”
* A few minutes later, the police is notified of Takagi's situation, and officers are dispatched to break into the culprit's house to save Takagi. Takagi
mistakenly believes that Sato is among them, and he fears that when she rushes in, the culprit would open fire on her. For this reason, he tries to take the culprit down by himself (despite being injured and having no weapons on himself); he ends up being shot, but luckily is able to survive, and the officers rushing in after hearing the gunshot are able to apprehend the culprit without being injured themselves.
* Sato is crushed when she believes Takagi has died, and then is greatly relieved when Shiratori tells her that he is actually alive. She rushes towards Takagi's room, and Takagi complains that he now cannot go to the new hot springs place, and that every kissing occasion that arose ended up being interrupted.
* Sato thus kisses Takagi on the spot. The Detective Boys witness this scene and ward off Matsumoto and others, who are about to enter the room to see how Takagi is recovering.

Takagi points out that it was only pocky and that Sato had already eaten some beforehand. After Shiratori drives by with a carload of gifts for Sumiko, Sato throws Takagi a sour look.
* Later on, Sato is trying to focus and trying to forget something ominous her friend told her that will happen if her boyfriend does not give her return candy.
* After the case is solved, Takagi tricks Sato into opening the glove compartment of her car, which is where he hid the return gift. Sato becomes extremely happy with this turn of events, while Takagi remarks that he put the gift inside 3 days beforehand.

She is greatly embarrassed when she realizes the kids are listening, and claims that she knows these things because one time, they took a snap while on a stakeout mission.

* Takagi tells the Detective Boys that he likes someone and they infer that it is Sato.
* Takagi was told by Yumi that the person Sato likes is in the first division. He wonders who it is, and worries that it might be [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], as, when Sato heard that Shiratori was just promoted to the rank of Police Inspector (despite being so young), she asked jokingly whether Shiratori could add her to the list of people who wished to marry him.
* Shiratori invites Sato out for dinner at a French restaurant after the case is resolved, and is dejected when he gets rejected politely by Sato (her reason is that she does not like the formalities in those restaurants).
* Sato instead invites Takagi to have ramen for dinner, but then completely forgets about this when Inspector Megure asks her whether she wants to celebrate having solved the case and have a drink alongside other colleagues. This makes Takagi worried that the one Sato likes might be Megure instead of Shiratori.

* Takagi asks if Sato likes Inspector Megure, to which Sato replies "yes". She explains it is because he reminds her of her father (who was a police officer and died on duty when she was in primary school). This implies that Sato has no romantic feelings towards Megure, which greatly relieves Takagi.
* Sato's popularity among police officers in Tokyo is shown for the first time. When she is missing, male police officers from all departments and divisions start roaming through the city, frantically looking for her.

* Takagi forgets his handcuffs and says the fortune telling magazine says that he will be super lucky today. It gives Sato flashbacks of the day her father died, when he left home he had forgotten his handcuffs and also said he would be super lucky that day. Sato gives her old, rusty handcuffs to Takagi, telling him they are a memento of her father and that it will sure bring him luck. Shiratori looks decidedly put out.
* Later, Takagi is handcuffed to the windows of an abandoned warehouse that has been set on fire; Sato wants to rush into the warehouse to save Takagi but is stopped by Shiratori and Megure. As bits of the warehouse crumbles, Sato yells out that Takagi is a baka, with tears in her eyes, only to hear Takagi answering her from behind them.
* Takagi has managed to save himself, but was still handcuffed to a metal bar, he collapses from the wound to his head, and Sato notices he has a gun and asks him why he didn't just shoot the handcuffs with his gun. The Detective Boys answer that it must have been because the handcuffs were the memento from Sato's father and he didn't want to damage them.
* Sato holds Takagi's unconscious body, and Shiratori stands to the side with his arms crossed.
* To show her thanks and keep her promise (because Takagi figured out the mystery), she asks what Takagi's wish is, and he says that he wants to go on a date with her. Sato agrees to the date happily, but it ends up being an undercover mission instead.

* As Ran is mulling over her failed attempt to ask about Shinichi's feelings for her, Takagi walks by muttering, "doing it directly is bad..." about his situation with Sato (Ran, Kogoro and Conan do not realize what he is talking about, though).
* A ticket to a magic show drops out of Takagi's jacket, and when asked by Sato, Takagi says that Yumi had an extra ticket and invited him, but that he was not too interested. Takagi's words here are actually pre-meditated, and all this is part of Yumi's plan to test whether Sato likes Takagi. Since Sato's expression does not change when she hears this, and she instead encourages Takagi to go with Yumi, Takagi concludes that Sato has no feelings towards him. He thus becomes very dejected and resigned.
* Later, Takagi gets a phone call from Yumi asking how it has gone, and as it has gone badly and he is additionally in the middle of dealing with an important case, he hangs up quickly shouting for her to call him at a better time.
* After the case is solved Sato approaches Yumi and asks her if she likes Takagi. Yumi is thrown off guard by this question and exclaims loudly, and when Sato pursues, Yumi says that she does not like Takagi at all. Sato remarks that she thought so, and advises Yumi to stop messing with Takagi, as "Takagi has been really troubled ever since he got your tickets to the magic show".
* This interaction makes Yumi believe that Sato does indeed like Takagi. She initially wants to tell Takagi about this to lighten him up, but then changes his mind, as Sato concludes her advice by saying "you should find a man suitable for yourself and enter a serious relationship with him".
* Kogoro, Ran and Conan comment that Sato is in an awfully good mood for someone who just got her pay cut (because a suspect had died in police custody); Conan hypothesizes that "maybe something good happened" (of course, they do not know that Sato's good mood comes from the relief after confirming that Yumi does not like Takagi).

==== [[Volume 32|Volume 32: File 328-330]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4|Episodes 253-254: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4]] ====
* Sato, pressured by her mom to attend an omiai (arranged marriage meeting), randomly picks a photo of a possible suitor (with her toes, no less), and it turns out to be Shiratori.
* Yumi promises to send her a "servant" (Takagi) to save Sato (who had just agreed to a bet with Shiratori that she’d marry him if Takagi didn’t show up within the time the sun sets), and she texts Takagi. However, he is caught up with a case and doesn't read the message until Conan, (who happens to be there eavesdropping with Araide, Ran and Sonoko at the time) calls him using Shinichi's voice and explains the situation. He also helps Takagi with the case.
* Sato, who had just agreed to the wager, thinks that Takagi will definitely come, and then, blushing, she wonders why she thinks that.
* As the sun is about to set, Sato resigns herself to the deal and thinks herself a failure as a police officer for not realizing until just now how important Takagi has become to her.
* Just as Shiratori is about to seal their deal with a kiss, Conan uses Araide's shadow and his voice-changing bow tie to imitate Takagi's form and voice, stopping the kiss, and thus the deal.
* The real Takagi is waiting outside the house, thinking that he failed to stop the bet, when Sato runs out and gets in his car.
* Here it is shown that Conan approves of their relationship.

[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP302.jpg|thumb|250px]]
* Sato and Takagi are planning to go on a date, but since Takagi is interrogated on this matter and fails to keep silent, everyone in the first division learns about it, and it seems lots of them have requested days off and reserved binoculars for that day.
* Shiratori proudly tells Yumi that if there is a date between Sato and Takagi, they can rest assured that the date will be spied upon by many police officers, and that he will be in charge of the spying mission.
* Takagi puts on a disguise that reminds Sato of her former colleague [[Matsuda|Jinpei Matsuda]]. Because of the special role that Matsuda plays in Sato's heart, she slaps him and suddenly becomes icy cold towards Takagi (despite the fact that Takagi does not know about Matsuda at all).
* Takagi almost gets blown up and Sato frantically tries to rescue him, not knowing that Takagi is safe, burning her hands in the process. The other infer that she was trying to save both Takagi and Matsuda.
* At the end, Sato apologizes for having slapped Takagi, and Takagi frets over Sato's hands, resulting in them staring into each other's eyes until they pull away, both blushing.
* Sato says everyone she has ever cared about deeply has died, and that therefore it would be better if she and Takagi went back to just being colleagues. Takagi does not have the courage to say otherwise, so agrees after a while. Sato walks away sadly as Takagi stares after her and Yumi and the Detective Boys watch in the background, apparently disappointed.

[[Image:Sato Takagi interupted.jpg|thumb|250px|Sato and Takagi were close to kissing before Megure interrupted.]]
* Takagi thinks he cannot compete against Matsuda, and is mocked by the Detective Boys. Takagi says he doesn't want to give up either.
* Sato dreams and sees the grim reaper behind Takagi, and doesn't take him to investigate bomb sites, because she doesn't want anything to happen to him.
* Near the end of the case, Sato begins to cry on Takagi's shoulder saying that she wants to forget Matsuda, and after Takagi tells her she should not forget (as that would mean that Matsuda is really dead), Sato becomes deeply touched, and the two nearly kiss. However, they are interrupted by [[Juzo Megure|Megure]].
* Sato deletes her precious last message from Matsuda (the one where he told Sato about the next bombing site and confessed his love to her), but she thinks that she will never forget him.

==== (TV Original) [[The Kidnapper's Disappearing Getaway Car|Episode 321: The Kidnapper's Disappearing Getaway Car]] ====

==== [[Volume 40|Volume 40: Files 404-406]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 5|Episodes 358-359: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 5]] ====
* Takagi and Sato are going on their very first date at the Tropical Marine Land, and Shiratori (as he once said he would) is leading a large group of police officers equipped with cameras, binoculars and camouflage to spy on and sabotage the date.
* Shiratori is not shy to use rather extreme methods for disruption, for example making police officers smear the police (in general) so that Sato would get angry, and giving the Detective Boys tickets to Tropical Marine Land and leading them to Takagi and Sato so that they would have to take care of them.
* Agasa was initially accompanying the Detective Boys, but Shiratori asks him to go home to confirm some details in a previous case, thus ensuring that the Detective Boys would never leave Takagi and Sato.
* Takagi thinks that the Detective Boys are a burden, as he has bought a ring for Sato and wants to take the opportunity to give it to her. Sato does not mind, though, and jokes that Takagi can view it as preparation of what comes when they have a baby.
* Before Takagi is able to give the ring to Sato, his bag has been switched with that of a drug dealer's; that bag is full of cocaine. So now Takagi is dragged into a case (on top of all the other troubles that Takagi is facing). Eventually the bag drops into a river and the ring is lost.
* Sato makes Takagi promise that he will never go away and leave her.
* Conan thinks to himself that although Takagi lost his ring, he has gained something much more precious.

==== [[Volume 44|Volume 44: Files 450-452]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 6|Episodes 390-391: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 6]] ====
* Sato sternly orders Takagi to get into her car, so Takagi wonders if he did something wrong. He starts worrying and even thinks she is going to break up with him. However, when he opens the door and a toy snake leaps out, scaring him, Sato starts laughing, commenting that the trick worked perfectly. Takagi is relieved and they flirt cutely (Chiba and Shiratori are actually watching them the entire time).
* The police department is led to believe that Takagi will be sent to Tottori to deal with a complex case. This makes them ecstatic, as, in this way, Takagi will be staying away from Sato for a long time (perhaps a few years). Takagi is disappointed that Sato seems to be indifferent, even asking for twentieth century pears while Yumi burst into tears.
* While investigating the case, Takagi yells, "I am definitely not going to find another woman! Definitely not!" when he overhears the Detective Boys chatting about Hide (the soccer player) leaving the country and finding a girlfriend as he thought they were talking about him. When he realizes that this is not the case, he is quite embarrassed.
* Takagi is upset that Sato still has not shown any emotion about his leaving Tokyo, but when Sato falls for her own trick with the toy snake, she is silent and appears upset. Then, she suddenly asks Takagi to swear that even if there are cute female police officers in Tottori, he will stay loyal to her. Takagi does exactly this.
* Right after Takagi blurts that he wants to be engaged with Sato before he leaves, Megure informs them that it is actually Chosuke Takagi who is being sent away, and not Wataru.
*Sato, who is blushing a lot, asks what Takagi just said, but he quickly changes the subject and says that they should go to karaoke with the kids. Takagi is shown sighing at the karaoke with Conan and Ai watching him.

==== [[Volume 47|Volume 47: Files 484-486]] / [[A Jewel Thief Caught Red-Handed|Episodes 401-402: A Jewel Thief Caught Red-Handed]] ====
* The Detective Boys run into Takagi as he enters into a jewelry shop to buy a brooch for Sato (he is doing so because Yumi claimed that when Sato saw the brooch on a magazine, she stared at it for a long time). The jewelry is subsequently robbed, and the robber took the brooch.
* Shiratori heckles him about the jewelry shop visit and the brooch.
* After solving the case, Takagi is able to retrieve the brooch from the culprit's coat. Sato remarks that Yumi once told her that she liked the brooch, and that since she does not like flashy things, she would lend jewelries to Yumi. This makes it clear that Yumi is just using Sato's popularity to trick male police officers into indirectly buying her things that she wants.
* Yumi mentions that she plans to continue doing this, and that her next victim will be Assistant Inspector Takano.

==== Not in manga / [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]] ====
* While Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are working on [[Rena Mizunashi|Rena Mizunashi]]'s bell ringer prank case, Conan hops to the apartment next door; it is supposed to be unoccupied.
* Conan looks on a glass door or window and sees "ki", "mi" and "wa" (き、み、わ) written on it.
* When it dawns on Conan what is going on, he calls Takagi, who admits that a few days ago, he was doing a stakeout, and wrote "Takagi Miwako" on the glass and forgot to wipe it up. In short, he wrote what Sato's name would be if they were to marry.
* By the time that Conan sees the glass, the "ta", "ka" and "ko" (た、か、こ) have disappeared.

* Takagi and Sato are invited to a goukon (singles mixer) separately, and both agree to go to even out the numbers. Since neither tells the other about this beforehand, when they meet at the goukon, they both get jealous (especially when they see each other paying attention to other people).
* In the middle of the case, Sato and Takagi get into a jealous quarrel.
* After the case is solved, Takagi and Sato come together to resolve the slightly awkward situation, and they come to the conclusion that neither has done anything wrong, and that just like winning lottery, them meeting at the same Toulon is something very unlikely. Takagi thus mentions that he has never won the lottery.
* Sato, upon hearing Takagi's words, asks whether getting her would count as winning the lottery. Takagi, of course, says that Sato is a super win ticket. The two then nearly kiss, before being reminded that Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are still in the backseat.

[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP449 (3).jpg|thumb|250px]]
* Sato is annoyed that Yumi is sticking too close to Takagi as Yumi and Takagi play stand-ins for a couple on their wedding day (Shiratori, on the other hand, suggests that they make it real and marry on the spot).
* Later in the case, Sato switches places with Yumi to protect her from the culprit (i.e. the groom himself). She tries to arrest the groom as he escapes, but then mistakenly pins Takagi down to the ground (since the groom looks a lot like Takagi); the groom is instead taken down by Ran.
* It turns out that a witness to Sato's "assault" on Takagi is a famous photographer. So, it is not surprising that sometime later, while walking on the streets, the police officers see the picture that he took of Sato pinning Takagi down in a commercial ad. Sato and Takagi are embarrassed, and Chiba slyly tells Shiratori that taking the ad down would constitute a crime.

* Takagi (and the rest of the first division) notice the sudden appearance of a ring on Sato's left hand. Takagi's colleagues initially thought that it was his ring, but is turns out that Takagi is equally confused and annoyed.
* Ran congratulates Takagi on his engagement to Sato, and is shocked when Takagi tells her that the ring is not from him. He says that he feels like he is on a tightrope with Sato (this turns out to be a useful hint that helps Conan solve the case).
* It turns out that Sato was just wearing it as a charm. Takagi, summoning all his bravery, asks Sato to wear the ring that he has bought for her. Sato agrees, but because she still thinks it is but a charm.

[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP530 (5).jpg|thumb|250px|Sato almost kisses Takagi, Conan is scolded for interrupting ]]
* Takagi and Sato are on a stakeout mission when Sato says suddenly “give me a hot kiss right now!”. Takagi is greatly surprised by this but complies, but before their lips can meet, they are interrupted by Conan, who points out that they are pretending to be lovers so that the suspect that they are spying on would not grow suspicious (Conan is then scolded by Sonoko, as she is supportive of the relationship as well).
* Later, during the investigation of the suspect's mansion, they both trip in the bathroom. They end up face to face, staring into each others' eyes while blushing, until Conan coughs and interrupts them again.
* Takagi keeps thinking back to the almost kiss, and gets jealous and furious at Chiba over the fact that Sato also pulled the "appear as lovers, pretend to kiss" ploy with him on previous stakeouts (Chiba told Takagi that he would never forget that “soft feeling”, and Takagi mistakenly thought that Chiba was referring to Sato's lips).
* Later, Takagi realizes that Sato only asked Chiba to hold her hands, and that she asked Takagi to kiss her only because it was him.
* Wanting Sato to do the same again, Takagi suddenly become very enthusiastic about stakeout missions with Sato. However, there are other officers in the first division named Sato, and not informing himself before signing up for the stakeout leads to Takagi ending up doing stakeouts with a mid-aged man.

==== [[Volume 64|Volume 64: Files 667-673]] / [[The Scar that Evokes the Past|Episodes 534-535: The Scar that Evokes the Past]] ====
* Sato tells Takagi that if he manages to solve the case, she will go with him to the new hot springs place, and this motivates Takagi to takes up a more active role in the investigation. Sato, however, begins to worry when she hears from Matsumoto that this is a very bad signal and that such reckless behavior is likely to trigger Takagi's death in the line of duty. She is even reminded of her father and Jinpei Matsuda.
* Takagi is captured by the culprit, and then receives a cellphone call from Sato. The culprit deduces that Sato is Takagi's girlfriend and tries to force him to reply so that Sato could be lured to him for the culprit to take her as hostage. Takagi, not wanting to put Sato in danger, breaks said cellphone instead, winks to the culprit and tells him “guess I will be your only hostage now.”
* A few minutes later, the police is notified of Takagi's situation, and officers are dispatched to break into the culprit's house to save Takagi. Takagi
mistakenly believes that Sato is among them, and he fears that when she rushes in, the culprit would open fire on her. For this reason, he tries to take the culprit down by himself (despite being injured and having no weapons on himself); he ends up being shot, but luckily is able to survive, and the officers rushing in after hearing the gunshot are able to apprehend the culprit without being injured themselves.
* Sato is crushed when she believes Takagi has died, and then is greatly relieved when Shiratori tells her that he is actually alive. She rushes towards Takagi's room, and Takagi complains that he now cannot go to the new hot springs place, and that every kissing occasion that arose ended up being interrupted.
* Sato thus kisses Takagi on the spot. The Detective Boys witness this scene and ward off Matsumoto and others, who are about to enter the room to see how Takagi is recovering.

==== [[Volume 68|Volume 68: File 708]] / [[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|Episodes 583-585: Kobayashi-sensei's Love]] ====
* Since recent intelligence suggests that Takagi and Sato are getting closer and closer, their jealous colleagues at the first division rush to Shiratori to ask what the plan is now. Shiratori seems completely unbothered by those recent developments, and tells them that he has stepped down from the leadership role of the group trying to disrupt Takagi and Sato's relationship.
* After Shiratori shows off the bento that Sumiko made for him, Takagi asks Sato for one as well. Sato misinterprets Takagi's words and responds that if he is going to the convenience store to buy Bento, it would be great if he buy hers one as well. This leaves Takagi slightly dejected and Chiba amused.

==== [[Volume 69|Volume 69: File 725-727]] / [[White Day of Betrayal|Episodes 608-609: White Day of Betrayal]] ====
* On White Day, Sato overhears Ran and Sonoko's discussions about return gifts, and thus turns to Takagi and sticks out her hand expectantly. Takagi points out that he did not get any Valentine's Day presents from Sato, and Sato indignantly retorts that she gave him candy during a stakeout that night. Takagi points out that it was only pocky and that Sato had already eaten some beforehand. After Shiratori drives by with a carload of gifts for Sumiko, Sato throws Takagi a sour look.
* Later on, Sato is trying to focus and trying to forget something ominous her friend told her that will happen if her boyfriend does not give her return candy.
* After the case is solved, Takagi tricks Sato into opening the glove compartment of her car, which is where he hid the return gift. Sato becomes extremely happy with this turn of events, while Takagi remarks that he put the gift inside 3 days beforehand.

* Due to a massive misunderstanding, Takagi is kidnapped and placed in a cruel death trap in Hokkaido. Sato takes a very active role in his rescue, being very aggressive with the culprit when she finds him in order to find clues about the whereabouts of Takagi.
* At some point in the investigation, Sato lets it slip that she knows Takagi does not move too much when he is sleeping, even adding that he looks very cute. She is greatly embarrassed when she realizes the kids are listening, and claims that she knows these things because one time, they took a nap while on a stakeout mission.
* Sato saves Takagi barely in time and kisses him when he is finally back to safety. This scene is captured by the camera, and their colleagues at the first division become furious when they see it; one even remarks that he would rather Takagi to be dead than be saved.

==== [[Volume 82|Volume 82: Files 865-868]] / [[The Case of the Lucky Calico|Episodes 751-752: The Case of the Lucky Calico]] ====
* Takagi accidentally reveals that he has slept on Sato's bed (as he knows that it is "soft and fluffy"). Both of them blush awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation about their relationship, and they are unable to come up with an explanation.
* Later, on page 9 of file 867, Takagi whispers to Sato that "what was really soft and warm was not, of course, the bedding..." in front of the kids, thus embarrassing her again (note: the implication of them having a sexual relationship is so direct that this dialogue is not included in the anime).

* Takagi mistakenly believes that Sato is pregnant with his child, so he says he will take full responsibility (the fact that he jumps to this conclusion shows how far they have come in their relationship).
* As Yumi and Naeko are eavesdropping in the next car, they mistakenly believe that Sato is pregnant as well. They proceed to tell everyone in the first division about this, and they witness them go through all three stages of grief: they are first greatly astonished and begin weeping; then sadness turns into ire and fury; then, in the end, their rationality comes back, and they "arrest" Takagi for a new round of interrogation.
* The interrogation will certainly yield very little, as Takagi already knows at that point that Sato is not pregnant.

Sato is unaware of this, as Takagi told her that he had managed to take a day off, until she receives a call from Inspector Megure, who mentions that Takagi is on sick leave. Sato then gets furious at Takagi, making him tremble with fear.
* Near the end, Takagi apologizes profusely, but Sato says that she will not forgive him.

Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato

Hoshi30: some changes

The romantic relationship between [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Miwako Sato]].
== Relationship analysis ==
[[Image:Takagi and Sato.jpg|thumb|250px|Takagi and Sato]]
'''[[Wataru Takagi]]''' and '''[[Miwako Sato]]''' are two officers working under Inspector Megure in the first division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, where Sato is currently Takagi's superior. As the story progresses, they start developing strong mutual romantic feelings for one another.

Despite being heavily admired by many male colleagues around her, especially Inspector [[Shiratori]] in the beginning, Sato still cares and worries about Takagi deeply, most notably during situations where his safety was put at risk. She also finds in Takagi traits that remind her of her late colleague, [[Jinpei Matsuda]], whom she had become romantically inclined towards in the brief time they've known each other. Takagi, on the other hand, respects Sato as his senior and loves her sincerely as a girlfriend, even to the point of willingly sacrificing his own life just to keep her away from all dangers.<ref>Manga: [[Volume 64]], File 673: "The Common Pattern"; Anime: [[The Scar that Evokes the Past]].</ref> After going through numerous difficulties and challenges, in some later cases, their relationship was hinted to have entered a sexual level; however, the true nature of this development has yet to be confirmed.<ref>'''Hints of sexual relationship:'''
* [[Volume 76]], File 806, Page 6 ([[The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love]]): Sato accidentally reveals that she and Takagi have been sleeping together, and blushed awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation.
* [[Volume 82]], File 867, Page 6 ([[The Case of the Lucky Calico]]): Takagi accidentally reveals that he has slept on Sato's bed because he knows that it's "soft and fluffy", both of them blushed awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation; later in Page 9, Takagi whispers to Sato that "what was really soft and warm ''wasn't'', of course, the bedding..." in front of the kids, making her furiously embarrassed.
* [[Volume 82]], Files 869~871 ([[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9]]): Takagi misunderstands that Sato is pregnant, and is strongly convinced that the baby is his, which wouldn't make sense if they never had sexual relationship.</ref>

A running joke in the series is that their relationship never progresses because of interruptions by the rest of the police force or other characters.

== Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato moments ==
=== Manga/Anime ===
==== [[Volume 12|Volume 21: Files 208-210]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|Episode 146-147: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]] ====
* Takagi tells the Detective Boys that he likes someone and they infer that it is Sato.
* Takagi was told by Yumi that the person Sato likes is in the first division. He wonders who it is, and worries that it might be [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], as, when Sato heard that Shiratori was just promoted to the rank of Police Inspector (despite being so young), she asked jokingly whether Shiratori could add her to the list of people who wished to marry him.
* Shiratori invites Sato out for dinner at a French restaurant after the case is resolved, and is dejected when he gets rejected politely by Sato (her reason is that she does not like the formalities in those restaurants).
* Sato instead invites Takagi to have ramen for dinner, but then completely forgets about this when Inspector Megure asks her whether she wants to celebrate having solved the case and have a drink alongside other colleagues. This makes Takagi worried that the one Sato likes might be Megure instead of Shiratori.

==== [[Volume 23|Volume 23: File 231-233]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2|Episode 156-157: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] ====
* Takagi asks if Sato likes Inspector Megure, to which Sato replies "yes". She explains it is because he reminds her of her father (who was a police officer and died on duty when she was in primary school). This implies that Sato has no romantic feelings towards Megure, which greatly relieves Takagi.
* Sato's popularity among police officers in Tokyo is shown for the first time. When she is missing, male police officers from all departments and divisions start roaming through the city, frantically looking for her.

==== [[Volume 27|Volume 27: Files 267-269]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3|Episode 205-206: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3]] ====
[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP206 (1).jpg|thumb|250px]]
* Sato says that she would grant any wish of the person who solves the case leading to her father's death (i.e. the Shuushirou case), prompting Takagi and Shiratori to fantasize about Sato in a wedding dress.
* Takagi forgets his handcuffs and says the fortune telling magazine says that he will be super lucky today. It gives Sato flashbacks of the day her father died, when he left home he had forgotten his handcuffs and also said he would be super lucky that day. Sato gives her old, rusty handcuffs to Takagi, telling him they are a memento of her father and that it will sure bring him luck. Shiratori looks decidedly put out.
* Later, Takagi is handcuffed to the windows of an abandoned warehouse that has been set on fire; Sato wants to rush into the warehouse to save Takagi but is stopped by Shiratori and Megure. As bits of the warehouse crumbles, Sato yells out that Takagi is a baka, with tears in her eyes, only to hear Takagi answering her from behind them.
* Takagi has managed to save himself, but was still handcuffed to a metal bar, he collapses from the wound to his head, and Sato notices he has a gun and asks him why he didn't just shoot the handcuffs with his gun. The Detective Boys answer that it must have been because the handcuffs were the memento from Sato's father and he didn't want to damage them.
* Sato holds Takagi's unconscious body, and Shiratori stands to the side with his arms crossed.
* To show her thanks and keep her promise (because Takagi figured out the mystery), she asks what Takagi's wish is, and he says that he wants to go on a date with her. Sato agrees to the date happily, but it ends up being an undercover mission instead.

==== [[Volume 30|Volume 30: Files 296-298]] / [[The Shinkansen Transport Case|Episode 240-241: The Shinkansen Transport Case]] ====
* As Ran is mulling over her failed attempt to ask about Shinichi's feelings for her, Takagi walks by muttering, "doing it directly is bad..." about his situation with Sato (Ran, Kogoro and Conan do not realize what he is talking about, though).
* A ticket to a magic show drops out of Takagi's jacket, and when asked by Sato, Takagi says that Yumi had an extra ticket and invited him, but that he was not too interested. Takagi's words here are actually pre-meditated, and all this is part of Yumi's plan to test whether Sato likes Takagi. Since Sato's expression does not change when she hears this, and she instead encourages Takagi to go with Yumi, Takagi concludes that Sato has no feelings towards him. He thus becomes very dejected and resigned.
* Later, Takagi gets a phone call from Yumi asking how it has gone, and as it has gone badly and he is additionally in the middle of dealing with an important case, he hangs up quickly shouting for her to call him at a better time.
* After the case is solved Sato approaches Yumi and asks her if she likes Takagi. Yumi is thrown off guard by this question and exclaims loudly, and when Sato pursues, Yumi says that she does not like Takagi at all. Sato remarks that she thought so, and advises Yumi to stop messing with Takagi, as "Takagi has been really troubled ever since he got your tickets to the magic show".
* This interaction makes Yumi believe that Sato does indeed like Takagi. She initially wants to tell Takagi about this to lighten him up, but then changes his mind, as Sato concludes her advice by saying "you should find a man suitable for yourself and enter a serious relationship with him".
* Kogoro, Ran and Conan comment that Sato is in an awfully good mood for someone who just got her pay cut (because a suspect had died in police custody); Conan hypothesizes that "maybe something good happened" (of course, they do not know that Sato's good mood comes from the relief after confirming that Yumi does not like Takagi).

==== [[Volume 32|Volume 32: File 328-330]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4|Episode 253-254: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4]] ====
* Sato, pressured by her mom to attend an omiai (arranged marriage meeting), randomly picks a photo of a possible suitor (with her toes, no less), and it turns out to be Shiratori.
* Yumi promises to send her a "servant" (Takagi) to save Sato (who had just agreed to a bet with Shiratori that she’d marry him if Takagi didn’t show up within the time the sun sets), and she texts Takagi. However, he is caught up with a case and doesn't read the message until Conan, (who happens to be there eavesdropping with Araide, Ran and Sonoko at the time) calls him using Shinichi's voice and explains the situation. He also helps Takagi with the case.
* Sato, who had just agreed to the wager, thinks that Takagi will definitely come, and then, blushing, she wonders why she thinks that.
* As the sun is about to set, Sato resigns herself to the deal and thinks herself a failure as a police officer for not realizing until just now how important Takagi has become to her.
* Just as Shiratori is about to seal their deal with a kiss, Conan uses Araide's shadow and his voice-changing bow tie to imitate Takagi's form and voice, stopping the kiss, and thus the deal.
* The real Takagi is waiting outside the house, thinking that he failed to stop the bet, when Sato runs out and gets in his car.
* Here it is shown that Conan approves of their relationship.

==== [[Volume 36|Volume 36: Files 366-368]] / [[Parade of Malice and Saint|Episode 301-302: Parade of Malice and Saint]] ====
[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP302.jpg|thumb|250px]]
* Sato and Takagi are planning to go on a date, but since Takagi is interrogated on this matter and fails to keep silent, everyone in the first division learns about it, and it seems lots of them have requested days off and reserved binoculars for that day.
* Shiratori proudly tells Yumi that if there is a date between Sato and Takagi, they can rest assured that the date will be spied upon by many police officers, and that he will be in charge of the spying mission.
* Takagi puts on a disguise that reminds Sato of her former colleague [[Matsuda|Jinpei Matsuda]]. Because of the special role that Matsuda plays in Sato's heart, she slaps him and suddenly becomes icy cold towards Takagi (despite the fact that Takagi does not know about Matsuda at all).
* Takagi almost gets blown up and Sato frantically tries to rescue him, not knowing that Takagi is safe, burning her hands in the process. The other infer that she was trying to save both Takagi and Matsuda.
* At the end, Sato apologizes for having slapped Takagi, and Takagi frets over Sato's hands, resulting in them staring into each other's eyes until they pull away, both blushing.
* Sato says everyone she has ever cared about deeply has died, and that therefore it would be better if she and Takagi went back to just being colleagues. Takagi does not have the courage to say otherwise, so agrees after a while. Sato walks away sadly as Takagi stares after her and Yumi and the Detective Boys watch in the background, apparently disappointed.

==== [[Volume 36|Volume 36: File 369-373]] / [[The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: The Trembling Police Headquarters]] ====
[[Image:Sato Takagi interupted.jpg|thumb|250px|Sato and Takagi were close to kissing before Megure interrupted.]]
* Takagi thinks he cannot compete against Matsuda, and is mocked by the Detective Boys. Takagi says he doesn't want to give up either.
* Sato dreams and sees the grim reaper behind Takagi, and doesn't take him to investigate bomb sites, because she doesn't want anything to happen to him.
* Near the end of the case, Sato begins to cry on Takagi's shoulder saying that she wants to forget Matsuda, and after Takagi tells her she shouldn't forget, the two nearly kiss. However, they are interrupted by [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]].
* Sato deletes her precious last mail from Matsuda and says goodbye but that she won't forget him.

* Takagi and Sato are going on their very first date at the Tropical Marine Land, and Shiratori (as he once said he would) is leading a large group of police officers equipped with cameras, binoculars and camouflage to spy on and sabotage the date.
* Takagi has bought a ring for Sato but before he can give it to her, he realises his bag has been switched out with that of a drug dealer's.
* Eventually the bag drops into a river and the ring is lost.
* Sato makes Takagi promise that he will never go away and leave her.
* Conan thinks to himself that although Takagi lost his ring, he has gained something much more precious.

==== [[Volume 44|Volume 44: Files 450-452]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 6|Episode 390-391: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 6]] ====
* Sato sternly orders Takagi to get into her car, so Takagi wonders if he did something wrong. He starts worrying and even thinks she is going to break up with him. However, when he opens the door and a toy snake leaps out, scaring him, Sato starts laughing, commenting that the trick worked perfectly. Takagi is relieved and they flirt cutely (Chiba and Shiratori are actually watching them the entire time).
* The police department is led to believe that Takagi will be sent to Tottori to deal with a complex case. This makes them ecstatic, as, in this way, Takagi will be staying away from Sato for a long time (perhaps a few years). Takagi is disappointed that Sato seems to be indifferent, even asking for twentieth century pears while Yumi burst into tears.
* While investigating the case, Takagi yells, "I am definitely not going to find another woman! Definitely not!" when he overhears the Detective Boys chatting about Hide (the soccer player) leaving the country and finding a girlfriend as he thought they were talking about him. When he realizes that this is not the case, he is quite embarrassed.
* Takagi is upset that Sato still has not shown any emotion about his leaving Tokyo, but when Sato falls for her own trick with the toy snake, she is silent and appears upset. Then, she suddenly asks Takagi to swear that even if there are cute female police officers in Tottori, he will stay loyal to her. Takagi does exactly this.
* Right after Takagi blurts that he wants to be engaged with Sato before he leaves, [[Inspector Megure]] informs them that it is actually Chosuke Takagi who is being sent away, and not Wataru.
*Sato, who is blushing a lot, asks what Takagi just said, but he quickly changes the subject and says that they should go to karaoke with the kids. Takagi is shown sighing at the karaoke with Conan and Ai watching him.

* The Detective Boys run into Takagi as he enters into a jewelry shop to buy a brooch for Sato.
* Shiratori heckles him about the jewelry shop visit and the brooch.
* Takagi makes Sato go and look through the coat for the brooch, and it turns out Yumi tricked both Takagi and Shiratori into buying jewelry that Yumi liked. Sato laughs and remarks that she never was one for flashy things.

* When it dawned on Conan what was going on, he called Takagi, who admitted that a few days ago, he was doing a stake-out, and wrote on the glass, "Takagi Miwako," and forgot to wipe it up. In short, what Sato's name would be, if they married.
* By the time, that Conan saw the glass, the "TaKa" and "Ko" were erased.

[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP449 (3).jpg|thumb|250px]]
* Sato is annoyed that Yumi is sticking too close to Takagi as Yumi and Takagi play stand-ins for a couple on their wedding day.
* Later in the case, Sato switches places with Yumi to protect her from the culprit (i.e. the groom himself). She tries to arrest the groom when he attacks her, but then she mistakenly pins Takagi down to the ground since the groom looks a lot like Takagi.
* Months later, it turns out that a witness to the 'attack' is a famous photographer and has used a picture he took of Sato pining Takagi down in a commercial ad. Sato and Takagi are embarrassed, and Chiba slyly tells Shiratori that taking the ad down would constitute a crime.

* Takagi and Sato are on a stakeout mission when Sato says suddenly “give me a hot kiss right now!”. Takagi is greatly surprised by this but complies, but before their lips can meet, they are interrupted by Conan, who points out that they are pretending to be lovers so that the suspect that they are spying on would not grow suspicious (Conan is then scolded by Sonoko, as she is supportive of the relationship as well).
* Later, during the investigation of the suspect's mansion, they both trip in the bathroom. They end up face to face, staring into each others' eyes while blushing, until Conan coughs and interrupts them again.
* Takagi keeps thinking back to the almost kiss, and gets jealous and furious at Chiba over the fact that Sato also pulled the "appear as lovers, pretend to kiss" ploy with him on previous stakeouts (Chiba told Takagi that he would never forget that “soft feeling”, and Takagi mistakenly thought that Chiba was referring to Sato's lips).
* Later, Takagi realizes that Sato only asked Chiba to hold her hands, and that she asked Takagi to kiss her only because it was him.

==== [[Volume 64|Volume 64: Files 667-673]] / [[The Scar that Evokes the Past|Episode 534-535: The Scar that Evokes the Past]] ====
* Sato tells Takagi that if he manages to solve the case, she will go with him to the new hot springs place, and this motivates Takagi to takes up a more active role in the investigation. Sato, however, begins to worry when she hears from Matsumoto that this is a very bad signal and that such reckless behavior is likely to trigger Takagi's death in the line of duty. She is even reminded of her father and Jinpei Matsuda.
* Takagi is captured by the culprit, and then receives a cellphone call from Sato. The culprit deduces that Sato is Takagi's girlfriend and tries to force him to reply so that Sato could be lured to him for the culprit to take her as hostage. Takagi, not wanting to put Sato in danger, breaks said cellphone instead, winks to the culprit and tells him “guess I will be your only hostage now.”
* A few minutes later, the police is notified of Takagi's situation, and officers are dispatched to break into the culprit's house to save Takagi. Takagi
mistakenly believes that Sato is among them, and he fears that when she rushes in, the culprit would open fire on her. For this reason, he tries to take the culprit down by himself (despite being injured and having no weapons on himself); he ends up being shot, but luckily is able to survive, and the officers rushing in after hearing the gunshot are able to apprehend the culprit without being injured themselves.
* Sato is crushed when she believes Takagi has died, and then is greatly relieved when Shiratori tells her that he is actually alive. She rushes towards Takagi's room, and Takagi complains that he now cannot go to the new hot springs place, and that every kissing occasion that arose ended up being interrupted.
* Sato thus kisses Takagi on the spot. The Detective Boys witness this scene and ward off Matsumoto and others, who are about to enter the room to see how Takagi is recovering.

* On White Day, Sato overhears Ran and Sonoko's discussions about return gifts, and thus turns to Takagi and sticks out her hand expectantly. Takagi points out that he did not get any Valentine's Day presents from Sato, and Sato indignantly retorts that she gave him candy during a stakeout that night. Takagi points out that it was only pocky and that Sato had already eaten some beforehand. After Shiratori drives by with a carload of gifts for Sumiko, Sato throws Takagi a sour look.
* Later on, Sato is trying to focus and trying to forget something ominous her friend told her that will happen if her boyfriend does not give her return candy.
* After the case is solved, Takagi tricks Sato into opening the glove compartment of her car, which is where he hid the return gift. Sato becomes extremely happy with this turn of events, while Takagi remarks that he put the gift inside 3 days beforehand.

She is greatly embarrassed when she realizes the kids are listening, and claims that she knows these things because one time, they took a snap while on a stakeout mission.
* Sato saves Takagi barely in time and kisses him when he is finally back to safety. This scene is captured by the camera, and their colleagues at division 1 become furious when they see it; one even says that he would rather Takagi to be dead than be saved.

* Later, on page 9 of file 867, Takagi whispers to Sato that "what was really soft and warm was not, of course, the bedding..." in front of the kids, thus embarrassing her again (note: the implication of them having a sexual relationship is so direct that this dialogue is not included in the anime).

Shukichi Haneda and Yumi Miyamoto

Hoshi30: final additions

The romantic relationship between [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Yumi Miyamoto]].

== Relationship Analysis ==
[[File:KISS.jpg|thumb|250px|Yumi and Shukichi kissed just before a shogi match]] Shukichi and Yumi met for the first time while she was still in college, on a train where he overslept and rested his head on Yumi's shoulder, waiting for the stop. But Yumi waited and missed her stop just to wake Shukichi up for his own as shown in chapter 900. After this encounter, they met again and began dating ever since. But in the end they broke up because he was immature and gave her a letter containing a marriage registration, telling Yumi not to open it until he won all seven shogi titles. Stressed because she couldn't open the letter until he won them, Yumi decided to break up with him.

After some time, they met again in Chateau Beika Condo, where Shukichi currently lives. Their relationship began to improve when Shukichi rescued Yumi from a kidnapper thanks to the Detective Boys's help, and when Yumi kissed Shukichi as a good luck charm for the "Meijin" match. But Yumi was unaware of Shukichi being a famous shogi player for a long time until she saw Shukichi on television and figured it out. After realizing that meijins can make 100,000,000 yen in salary, she desperately tries to reclaim an envelope he left for her. Eventually, Yumi manages to find the envelope, however, Shukichi lost the Osho match, making the envelope that contains the marriage registration nullified. Yumi rips the letter, but encourages Shukichi to keep following his original plan and to never lose to anyone, calling him "Bald headed Rat", making the latter blush.

* It is revealed through Yumi's dream that a some time ago, Yumi was going on a date with someone; during the date, that person gave her an envelope, and instructed her to open it only after he obtained "seven of them".
* Since she still does not know what "seven of them" refers to and that person has not contacted her since, she has not taken great care of the envelope and now does not know where it is.
* Yumi does not know what that person does for a living, and speculates that he is from a wealthy family, and depends on his parents' money to sustain himself.
* While patrolling with Yumi, Naeko receives a call from her friend [[Sakurako Yonehara|Sakurako]], who tells her that she has found a dead body in the household where she works as the maid. They rush to the scene, and Yumi discovers that the neighbor next door is Shukichi Haneda, Yumi's ex-boyfriend.
* Shukichi is overjoyed at seeing Yumi again, and believes that they are still in a relationship. Yumi, on the other hand, thinks that it is a very awkward encounter and keeps insisting on calling him her ''ex''-boyfriend.
* The Detective Boys figure out that Shukichi is actually a shogi player close to claiming all seven titles that exist.
* Shukichi reveals to us readers that the reason why he has not contacted Yumi since handing her the envelope is that Yumi once mentioned that she wanted to be the woman of the king.

* Naeko tells Yumi about how Shukichi is a "Meijin" (名人, which is one of the seven titles of shogi and also means "famous person"); Yumi does not realize that she is talking about shogi and thinks that Shukichi's fame must be among fishing enthusiasts or something like that (note that Naeko is actually wrong about Shukichi, as he has not obtained the Meijin title yet).

==== [[Volume 85|Volume 85: Files 899-902]] / [[Taiko Meijin's Match of Love|Episodes 785-786: Taiko Meijin's Match of Love]] ====
* Yumi is kidnapped as Shukichi heads to his shogi match for the title of Meijin at a hotel in Yamanashi prefecture. After Shukichi realizes Yumi's situation, he leaves in the middle of the match and goes back to Tokyo in order to save Yumi.
* After rescuing Yumi, Shukichi heads back to finish the match, but suddenly he notices that Yumi's photo which he carries everywhere as his "good luck charm" is missing. Yumi gives Shukichi a kiss as the replacement good luck charm, and says that "this is more effective than a photo". He returns to Yamanashi in time to win his seventh and final shogi title (although he has almost no time left on the clock).
* Shukichi recalls that Yumi and he met for the first time ten years ago. They were sitting next to each other on a Tokyo tram, and since Shukichi just had a very tough shogi match, he fell asleep, with his head resting on Yumi's shoulder.
* Yumi did not wake him up until the tram almost reached his station (she knew his destination thanks to the ticket), even though she was supposed to get off much earlier to head to a karaoke box (with Sato, and perhaps others).
* Shukichi, realizing that Yumi had waited for him, rushed towards her to ask why she had done that, and Yumi replied that it was because his sleeping posture was really cute.

==== [[Volume 88|Volume 88: Files 928-930]] / [[Ramen So Good, It's to Die For 2|Episodes 828: Ramen So Good, It's to Die For 2]] ====
* Yumi tells Naeko that, despite the kiss that led to Shukichi's win in the Meijin's match, they still have not gotten back together, as whenever she tries to arrange a date, Shukichi would tell her that he is busy.
* Since Shukichi might have useful information related to a case, Yumi calls him. As Shukichi apologizes for not having time for a date, he receives another call, which he hangs up after saying "I am on a call with an important person right now, just call me later". Yumi asks whether another woman has called him, an allegation that Shukichi dismisses without being annoyed.

==== [[Volume 89|Volume 89: Files 945-947]] / [[The Marriage Registration's Password|Episodes 849-850: The Marriage Registration's Password]] ====

* With Conan's help, Yumi successfully passes the test. However, Shukichi just lost the Osho match, nullifying the marriage registration (where Shukichi states that his job is "a shogi player with all seven titles".

==== [[Volume 96|Volume 96: Files 1015-1017]] / [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|Episodes 972-974: The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]] ====
* While searching for clues in a photo to aid the investigation of the murder of fellow Traffic Department police officers, Yumi gets a call from an unknown number which turns out to be Shukichi. He has been frantically and repeatedly calling every 10 minutes to express his concern for her safety, as he had learned from the news that the killer is seemingly only targeting policewomen from her Department.
* Yumi asks whose phone Shukichi is using, to which Shukichi answer that it belongs to his senior, and that he is at the shogi hall for an interview. Yumi urges him to go home quickly, and he tells her to do the same; in their later exchanges, it is revealed that Yumi spent the night before at his place playing mahjong.
* Despite Yumi's promise, Shukichi remains worried about her safety, so he later sends a text message to his older brother, Akai, asking him to protect Yumi. Akai accepts to do so, and after interacting (indirectly) with Yumi, he remarks that she is not the type of girl that needs protection.

==== [[Volume 98|Volume 98: Files 1043-1046]] / [[Taiko Meijin's Shogi Board|Episodes 1033-1035: Taiko Meijin's Shogi Board]] ====
* Yumi, thinking that Shukichi has been behaving in a strange way lately, decides to tail him. She initially thought that Shukichi had been behaving so because they had started living together and he had not fully accustomed to that, but after Ai's suggestion that he could be secretly meeting another women, Yumi changes her mind and starts suspecting that as well.
* Later, Yumi finds out that Shukichi has been doing nothing more outrageous than holding Shogi practice sessions with other Shogi players.
* Yumi mentions to Conan that she has never met the family members of Shukichi (although she does know that he has a younger sister, an elder brother, and that his mother is still alive), and she erroneously assumes that their personalities will be similar to that of Shukichi. Conan, of course, knows that she is wrong, but he keeps quiet and does not reveal any relevant information.

But Yumi waited and missed her stop just to wake Shukichi up for his own as shown in chapter 900. After this encounter, they met again and began dating ever since. But in the end they broke up because he was immature and gave her a letter containing a marriage registration, telling Yumi not to open it until he won all seven shogi titles. Stressed because she couldn't open the letter until he won them, Yumi decided to break up with him.

After some time, they met again in Chateau Beika Condo, where Shukichi currently lives. Their relationship began to improve when Shukichi rescued Yumi from a kidnapper thanks to the Detective Boys's help, and when Yumi kissed Shukichi as a good luck charm for the "Meijin" match. But Yumi was unaware of Shukichi being a famous shogi player for a long time until she saw Shukichi on television and figured it out. After realizing that meijins can make 100,000,000 yen in salary, she desperately tries to reclaim an envelope he left for her. Eventually, Yumi manages to find the envelope, however, Shukichi lost the Osho match, making the envelope that contains the marriage registration nullified. Yumi rips the letter, but encourages Shukichi to keep following his original plan and to never lose to anyone, calling him "Bald headed Rat", making the latter blush.

Hoshi30: small changes

The romantic relationship between [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Naeko Miike]].

== Relationship analysis ==
[[File:Chiba being reminded of the younger Miike.jpg|thumb|200px|Chiba being reminded of the younger Miike.]]
[[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Naeko Miike]] were childhood friends and attended Teitan Elementary together where they both joined the school broadcasting committee (although Naeko only joined because Chiba did). When Naeko was to move away, Chiba wrote down his feelings in a love letter. Naeko wrote her response on the side of a VHS in the committee storage room, hoping Chiba's sweating habit would cause the message "I like you, too" to show up on his hands after grabbing the tape. Unfortunately, Chiba couldn't find the right tape and never got the message.

On the day of his elementary school reunion, Chiba returned to the school and searched for the tape again. With the help of Conan and the [[Detective Boys]], he finally finds the message and heads for the reunion. Unfortunately Naeko doesn't show, and he hears from a former classmate that she said she is "now with the one she loved". Depressed, Chiba immediately leaves and finds a lady traffic cop giving him a ticket. When the officer offers to forget about the ticket since he is a fellow officer, Chiba scolds her for offering to ignore his illegal parking. Chiba leaves with the ticket, but then wonders how the girl knew he was a detective. The officer turns out to be Naeko, who has just been transferred to the police headquarters in Tokyo (working under Yumi) and looks forward to working with the one she loves.

After some time, they met again during a case involving threats that were placed in cars. They forced to investigate the cases together by Detective Boys. Unfortunately, Chiba doesn't recognize who Naeko really is. Their relationship began to improve when Naeko tried to contact Chiba to rescue her when she gets kidnapped. Thanks to the Conan's help, Chiba managed to rescue Naeko and arrest the culprit. However, Naeko was injured while protecting Chiba, forcing Chiba to carry her to the hospital. On the way, Chiba worried about Naeko's bleeding, he tried to cross the red light, but Naeko managed to convince him from breaking the rules; using the same words that Chiba told her in the past. Chiba finally manages to recognize Naeko after hearing those words as his love interest. The two walk towards the hospital, while blushing at the same time.

Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato

Hoshi30: further edits

The romantic relationship between [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Miwako Sato]].
== Relationship analysis ==
[[Image:Takagi and Sato.jpg|thumb|250px|Takagi and Sato]]
'''[[Wataru Takagi]]''' and '''[[Miwako Sato]]''' are two officers working under Inspector Megure in the first division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, where Sato is currently Takagi's superior. As the story progresses, they start developing strong mutual romantic feelings for one another.

Despite being heavily admired by many male colleagues around her, especially Inspector [[Shiratori]] in the beginning, Sato still cares and worries about Takagi deeply, most notably during situations where his safety was put at risk. She also finds in Takagi traits that remind her of her late colleague, [[Jinpei Matsuda]], whom she had become romantically inclined towards in the brief time they've known each other. Takagi, on the other hand, respects Sato as his senior and loves her sincerely as a girlfriend, even to the point of willingly sacrificing his own life just to keep her away from all dangers.<ref>Manga: [[Volume 64]], File 673: "The Common Pattern"; Anime: [[The Scar that Evokes the Past]].</ref> After going through numerous difficulties and challenges, in some later cases, their relationship was hinted to have entered a sexual level; however, the true nature of this development has yet to be confirmed.<ref>'''Hints of sexual relationship:'''
* [[Volume 76]], File 806, Page 6 ([[The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love]]): Sato accidentally reveals that she and Takagi have been sleeping together, and blushed awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation.
* [[Volume 82]], File 867, Page 6 ([[The Case of the Lucky Calico]]): Takagi accidentally reveals that he has slept on Sato's bed because he knows that it's "soft and fluffy", both of them blushed awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation; later in Page 9, Takagi whispers to Sato that "what was really soft and warm ''wasn't'', of course, the bedding..." in front of the kids, making her furiously embarrassed.
* [[Volume 82]], Files 869~871 ([[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9]]): Takagi misunderstands that Sato is pregnant, and is strongly convinced that the baby is his, which wouldn't make sense if they never had sexual relationship.</ref>

A running joke in the series is that their relationship never progresses because of interruptions by the rest of the police force or other characters.

=== Manga/Anime ===
==== [[Volume 12|Volume 21: Files 208-210]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|Episode 146-147: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]] ====
* Takagi tells the Detective Boys that he likes someone and they quickly infer that it is Sato.
* Takagi is told that there is someone Sato likes in the 1st division and he wonders who it is, and worries if it is [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].
* Shiratori invites Sato out for dinner at a French restaurant after the case is resolved, and is dejected when he gets rejected by Sato (her reason is that she does not like the formalities).
* Sato instead invites Takagi to a dinner, but then completely forgets about this when Inspector Megure asks her whether she wants to celebrate having solved the case with other colleagues. This makes Takagi worried that the one Sato likes might be Megure instead of Shiratori.

==== [[Volume 23|Volume 23: File 231-233]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2|Episode 156-157: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] ====
* Takagi asks if Sato likes Inspector Megure (in that way), to which Sato replies "yes". She explains it's because he reminds her of her father, and Takagi realises what she means, that he misunderstood (from before). Sato teases and says he looks like he wants to say something more.

==== [[Volume 27|Volume 27: Files 267-269]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3|Episode 205-206: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3]] ====
[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP206 (1).jpg|thumb|250px]]
* Sato says that she would grant any wish of the person who solves the case leading to her father's death (i.e. the Shuushirou case), prompting Takagi and Shiratori to fantasize about Sato in a wedding dress. The Detective Boys immediately begin listing the wish they would like granted, and Sato thinks that only they would take it so seriously, but then notices the two men (Takagi and Shiratori) who have both gone quiet and looking like they're thinking hard (about their wishes), and she asks, "What's up with you two?"
* Takagi forgets his handcuffs and says the fortune telling magazine says that he will be super lucky today. It gives Sato flashbacks of the day her father died, when he left home he had forgotten his handcuffs and also said he would be super lucky that day. Sato gives her old, rusty handcuffs to Takagi, telling him they are a memento of her father and that it will sure bring him luck. Shiratori looks decidedly put out.
* Later, Takagi is handcuffed to the windows of an abandoned warehouse that has been set on fire; Sato wants to rush into the warehouse to save Takagi but is stopped by Shiratori and Megure. As bits of the warehouse crumbles, Sato yells out that Takagi is a baka, with tears in her eyes, only to hear Takagi answering her from behind them.
* Takagi has managed to save himself, but was still handcuffed to a metal bar, he collapses from the wound to his head, and Sato notices he has a gun and asks him why he didn't just shoot the handcuffs with his gun. The Detective Boys answer that it must have been because the handcuffs were the memento from Sato's father and he didn't want to damage them.
* Sato holds Takagi's unconscious body, and Shiratori stands to the side with his arms crossed.
* To show her thanks and keep her promise (because Takagi figured out the mystery), she asks what Takagi's wish is, and he says that he wants to go on a date with her. Sato agrees to the date happily, but it ends up being an undercover mission instead.

==== [[Volume 30|Volume 30: Files 296-298]] / [[The Shinkansen Transport Case|Episode 240-241: The Shinkansen Transport Case]] ====
* As Ran is mulling over her failed attempt to ask about Shinichi's feelings for her, Takagi walks by muttering, "Doing it directly is bad..." about his situation with Sato.
* A ticket to a magic show drops out of his jacket, and when asked, Takagi says that Yumi had an extra ticket and invited him, but that he said he wasn't interested. It was a plan Yumi thought up, to see whether Sato's face would change expression when she heard, but Sato instead encourages Takagi to go.
* Later, Takagi gets a phone call from Yumi asking how it went, he hangs up quickly shouting for her to call him at a better time, and Sato is behind him asking him what Yumi wanted.
* At the end of the episode, Yumi and Sato are talking, and Sato asks if Yumi likes Takagi. Yumi exclaims loudly, and thinks that her plan worked.
* Although Sato does not seem to care, the others remark that she is in an awfully good mood for someone who just got her pay cut (because a suspect had died in police custody) and "maybe something good happened."

==== [[Volume 32|Volume 32: File 328-330]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4|Episode 253-254: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4]] ====
* Sato, pressured/forced by her mom to attend an omiai (arranged marriage meeting), randomly picks a photo of a possible suitor (with her toes, no less), and it turns out to be Shiratori.
* Yumi promises to send her a "servant" (Takagi) to save Sato (who had just agreed to a bet with Shiratori that she’d marry him if Takagi didn’t show up within the time the sun sets), and she texts Takagi. However, he is caught up with a case and doesn't read the message until Conan, (who happens to be there eavesdropping with Araide sensei, Ran and Sonoko at the time) calls him using Shinichi's voice and explains the situation. He also helps Takagi with the case.
* Sato, who had just agreed to the wager, thinks that Takagi will definitely come, and then, blushing, she wonders why she thinks that.
* As the sun is about to set, Sato resigns herself to the deal and thinks herself a failure as a police officer for not realizing until just now how important Takagi has become to her.
* Just as Shiratori is about to seal their deal with a kiss, Conan uses Araide-sensei's shadow and his voice-changing bow tie to imitate Takagi's voice, stopping the kiss, and the deal.
* The real Takagi is waiting outside the house, thinking that he failed to stop the bet, when Sato runs out and gets in his car.

Here it is shown that Conan approves of their relationship.

* Takagi almost gets blown up and Sato frantically tries to rescue him, not knowing that Takagi is safe, burning her hands in the process. The other infer that she was trying to save both Takagi and Matsuda.
* At the end, Sato apologizes for having slapped Takagi, and Takagi frets over Sato's hands, resulting in them staring into each other's eyes until they pull away, both blushing.
* Sato says everyone she has ever cared about deeply has died, and that therefore it would be better if she and Takagi went back to just being colleagues. Takagi does not have the courage to say otherwise, so agrees after a while. Sato walks away sadly as Takagi stares after her and Yumi and the Detective Boys watch in the background, apparently disappointed.

* Takagi thinks he cannot compete against Matsuda, and is mocked by the Detective Boys. Takagi says he doesn't want to give up either.
* Sato dreams and sees the grim reaper behind Takagi, and doesn't take him to investigate bomb sites, because she doesn't want anything to happen to him.
* Near the end of the case, Sato begins to cry on Takagi's shoulder saying that she wants to forget Matsuda, and after Takagi tells her she shouldn't forget, the two nearly kiss. However, they are interrupted by [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]].

However, when he opens the door and a toy snake leaps out, scaring him, Sato starts laughing, commenting that the trick worked perfectly. Takagi is relieved and they flirt cutely (Chiba and Shiratori are actually watching them the entire time).
* The police department is led to believe that Takagi will be sent to Tottori to deal with a complex case. This makes them ecstatic, as, in this way, Takagi will be staying away from Sato for a long time (perhaps a few years). Takagi is disappointed that Sato seems to be indifferent, even asking for twentieth century pears while Yumi burst into tears.
* While investigating the case, Takagi yells, "I am definitely not going to find another woman! Definitely not!" when he overhears the Detective Boys chatting about Hide (the soccer player) leaving the country and finding a girlfriend as he thought they were talking about him. When he realizes that this is not the case, he is quite embarrassed.
* Takagi is upset that Sato still has not shown any emotion about his leaving Tokyo, but when Sato falls for her own trick with the toy snake, she is silent and appears upset. Then, she suddenly asks Takagi to swear that even if there are cute female police officers in Tottori, he will stay loyal to her. Takagi does exactly this.
* Right after Takagi blurts that he wants to be engaged with Sato before he leaves, [[Inspector Megure]] informs them that it is actually Chosuke Takagi who is being sent away, and not Wataru.
*Sato, who is blushing a lot, asks what Takagi just said, but he quickly changes the subject and says that they should go to karaoke with the kids. Takagi is shown sighing at the karaoke with Conan and Ai watching him.

The romantic relationship between [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Miwako Sato]].
== Relationship analysis ==
[[Image:Takagi and Sato.jpg|thumb|250px|Takagi and Sato]]
'''[[Wataru Takagi]]''' and '''[[Miwako Sato]]''' are two officers working under Inspector Megure in the first division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, where Sato is currently Takagi's superior. As the story progresses, they start developing strong mutual romantic feelings for one another.

Despite being heavily admired by many male colleagues around her, especially Inspector [[Shiratori]] in the beginning, Sato still cares and worries about Takagi deeply, most notably during situations where his safety was put at risk. She also finds in Takagi traits that remind her of her late colleague, [[Jinpei Matsuda]], whom she had become romantically inclined towards in the brief time they've known each other. Takagi, on the other hand, respects Sato as his senior and loves her sincerely as a girlfriend, even to the point of willingly sacrificing his own life just to keep her away from all dangers.<ref>Manga: [[Volume 64]], File 673: "The Common Pattern"; Anime: [[The Scar that Evokes the Past]].</ref> After going through numerous difficulties and challenges, in some later cases, their relationship was hinted to have entered a sexual level; however, the true nature of this development has yet to be confirmed.<ref>'''Hints of sexual relationship:'''
* [[Volume 76]], File 806, Page 6 ([[The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love]]): Sato accidentally reveals that she and Takagi have been sleeping together, and blushed awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation.
* [[Volume 82]], File 867, Page 6 ([[The Case of the Lucky Calico]]): Takagi accidentally reveals that he has slept on Sato's bed because he knows that it's "soft and fluffy", both of them blushed awkwardly in response to the Detective Boys' speculation; later in Page 9, Takagi whispers to Sato that "what was really soft and warm ''wasn't'', of course, the bedding..." in front of the kids, making her furiously embarrassed.
* [[Volume 82]], Files 869~871 ([[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9]]): Takagi misunderstands that Sato is pregnant, and is strongly convinced that the baby is his, which wouldn't make sense if they never had sexual relationship.</ref>

A running joke in the series is that their relationship never progresses because of interruptions by the rest of the police force or other characters.

==== [[Volume 12|Volume 21: Files 208-210]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|Episode 146-147: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]] ====
* Takagi tells the Detective Boys that he likes someone and they quickly infer that it is Sato.
* Takagi is told that there is someone Sato likes in the 1st division and he wonders who it is, and worries if it is [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].
* Shiratori invites Sato out for dinner at a French restaurant after the case is resolved, and is dejected when he gets rejected by Sato (her reason is that she does not like the formalities).
* Sato instead invites Takagi to a dinner, but then completely forgets about this when Inspector Megure asks her whether she wants to celebrate having solved the case with other colleagues. This makes Takagi worried that the one Sato likes might be Megure instead of Shiratori.

==== [[Volume 23|Volume 23: File 231-233]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2|Episode 156-157: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] ====
* Takagi asks if Sato likes Inspector Megure (in that way), to which Sato replies "yes". She explains it's because he reminds her of her father, and Takagi realises what she means, that he misunderstood (from before). Sato teases and says he looks like he wants to say something more.

==== [[Volume 27|Volume 27: Files 267-269]] / [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3|Episode 205-206: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3]] ====
[[Image:Takagi and Sato EP206 (1).jpg|thumb|250px]]
* Sato says that she would grant any wish of the person who solves the case leading to her father's death (i.e. the Shuushirou case), prompting Takagi and Shiratori to fantasize about Sato in a wedding dress. The Detective Boys immediately begin listing the wish they would like granted, and Sato thinks that only they would take it so seriously, but then notices the two men (Takagi and Shiratori) who have both gone quiet and looking like they're thinking hard (about their wishes), and she asks, "What's up with you two?"
* Takagi forgets his handcuffs and says the fortune telling magazine says that he will be super lucky today. It gives Sato flashbacks of the day her father died, when he left home he had forgotten his handcuffs and also said he would be super lucky that day. Sato gives her old, rusty handcuffs to Takagi, telling him they are a memento of her father and that it will sure bring him luck. Shiratori looks decidedly put out.
* Later, Takagi is handcuffed to the windows of an abandoned warehouse that has been set on fire; Sato wants to rush into the warehouse to save Takagi but is stopped by Shiratori and Megure. As bits of the warehouse crumbles, Sato yells out that Takagi is a baka, with tears in her eyes, only to hear Takagi answering her from behind them.
* Takagi has managed to save himself, but was still handcuffed to a metal bar, he collapses from the wound to his head, and Sato notices he has a gun and asks him why he didn't just shoot the handcuffs with his gun. The Detective Boys answer that it must have been because the handcuffs were the memento from Sato's father and he didn't want to damage them.
* Sato holds Takagi's unconscious body, and Shiratori stands to the side with his arms crossed.
* To show her thanks and keep her promise (because Takagi figured out the mystery), she asks what Takagi's wish is, and he says that he wants to go on a date with her. Sato agrees to the date happily, but it ends up being an undercover mission instead.

* Later, Takagi gets a phone call from Yumi asking how it went, he hangs up quickly shouting for her to call him at a better time, and Sato is behind him asking him what Yumi wanted.
* At the end of the episode, Yumi and Sato are talking, and Sato asks if Yumi likes Takagi. Yumi exclaims loudly, and thinks that her plan worked.
* Although Sato doesn't seem to care, the others remark that she is in an awfully good mood for someone who just got her pay cut (because a suspect had died in police custody) and "maybe something good happened."

However, he is caught up with a case and doesn't read the message until Conan, (who happens to be there eavesdropping with Araide sensei, Ran and Sonoko at the time) calls him using Shinichi's voice and explains the situation. He also helps Takagi with the case.
* Sato, who had just agreed to the wager, thinks that Takagi will definitely come, and then, blushing, she wonders why she thinks that.
* As the sun is about to set, Sato resigns herself to the deal and thinks herself a failure as a police officer for not realizing until just now how important Takagi has become to her.
* Just as Shiratori is about to seal their deal with a kiss, Conan uses Araide-sensei's shadow and his voice-changing bow tie to imitate Takagi's voice, stopping the kiss, and the deal.
* The real Takagi is waiting outside the house, thinking that he failed to stop the bet, when Sato runs out and gets in his car.

Here it is shown that Conan approves of their relationship.

Takagi does not have the courage to say otherwise, so agrees after a while.

=== Wedding Murder Case ===
{{ref anime|141-142|The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case}}

==== File 212 - A Matching Set ====
Kazuha sees the body and starts screaming; this attracts the rest of the family to the two rooms. Katagiri is terrified by the body and falls unconscious; her fiancé, on the other hand, seems completely unbothered by Shigematsu’s death. Kogoro orders everyone to stay out of the room as he calls the police, while Conan and Heiji confirm that all the windows in the two rooms are locked. Since Ran has not seen anyone jump out of the mansion, and the keychain on which hangs the key to the door of the two rooms is found on the body, Conan and Heiji conclude that they are facing a locked room murder case. Yurie asks why the possibility of suicide can be ruled out, and Heiji explains that the stab wound is fatal and leads to immediate death, so in case of a suicide the murder weapon should be close to the body. However, in reality, the weapon is nowhere to be found. 

At this point, Kikuhiko says that despite the butler’s death, his wedding shall go forward as planned. This disrespectful decision stuns the rest of the people present, but Kikuhito apparently cannot care less, as he insists on this decision and comments that letting the wedding go forward can actually console the soul of Kigematsu. This earns him a punch in the face from Sakuraba. So much force is used that Kikuhiko is sent flying; he eventually slams into a window, breaking the glass and suffering injuries on his face. As he attempts to get up and take revenge, his father, Mikio, orders him to exercise restraint. Mikio then hammers him for his shamelessness, and also makes it very clear to Sakuraba that he disapproves of his use of physical force against his master. 

The police arrive, prompting Mikio to head to the front door of the mansion to admit them. Meanwhile, Conan and Heiji notice that Rebecca is, for some reason, in the room as well; she was hiding behind Shigematsu’s body until now. 

The police join them in the investigation. Takagi reports that all other servants except for Sakuraba were having dinner at the time of the murder, for which they could not have killed him. So, the only suspects are Mikio, Kikuhiko, Yurie, Katagiri and Sakuraba. As for the murder weapon, since it is not in the room, Megure orders his men to search the mansion and the gardens thoroughly. Conan and Heiji accompany a few police officers to the garden, but not to look for the murder weapon: they appear more interested in understanding the case. They both have noticed four suspicious things, listed below:
# The murderer did not leave the weapon in the room. If he did, maybe the police will think that Shigematsu committed suicide.
# The murderer dragged Shigematsu’s body from the dark room to the well-lit one.
# The murderer only turned on the lights in one room.
# Rebecca was in the room at the time of the murder. 

As they ponder, they see Sakuraba asking a police officer whether he can join the search for the murder weapon as well. That officer refuses, and Kikuhiko, who has silently approached Sakuraba, avenges the facepunch; he throws Sakuraba onto the ground, and orders him to stop creating problems. As he leaves gleefully, Kazuha and Ran help Sakuraba get up; it is then when Kazuha notices that he and Katagiri are wearing the same necklace. This draws the attention of Conan and Heiji; they believe that this is not a coincidence, and that it is key to solving the case.

==== File 213 - The Evidence... ====
The police fail to find the murder weapon after a thorough search, so Megure orders them to do it all over again. Kogoro suggests that perhaps a burglar intruded into the mansion, was caught by the butler, killed him and escaped; Takagi and Heiji dismiss this possibility, saying that the security system of the mansion is excellent, and that it would not make sense for a burglar to devise a complex plan and make a locked room. Heiji also reasons that since a lot of blood must have splattered out of the body, the clothes that the murderer was wearing must be heavily stained, for which if the police can find the weapon, they might find bloodstained clothes as well. He then asks Megure about the alibi of the five suspects; it turns out that none of them has a valid one. 

Presently, a crime scene investigator informs Megure that there is a bloodstain on the latch of the window of the room. Megure (and Heiji) thus approach the window; after a careful examination, they deduce that the bloodstain was left when the murderer touched the latch with his blood-stained glove. This implies that, perhaps, the murderer left the room through the balcony (that the window leads to). Heiji thus goes to the balcony to investigate. Conan is already there, and he has found a broken piece of glass (broken because Kikuhiko slammed into that window a while ago) with a tiny hole through it. They both believe that this is an important piece of clue, and thus start searching for “the thing” that must appear on the balcony. They are interrupted by Mikio, though; he asks Megure whether the police can return to him the body of Shigematsu; he was a close friend of the couple, and Mikio thinks that it is pitiful for his body to just sit in the middle of the room (Megure, of course, has to decline this request, as autopsy has to be performed first). This prompts Heiji to mention that, according to his mother, Shigamatsu was actually the one that Mikio’s wife loved and the reason why she would come to Morizono family’s mansion so frequently (when she was a young adult). However, Mikio thought that his future wife came for him. Under this belief, he proposed to her; she was, little by little, overwhelmed by his courtship, and since all the parents approved of their getting together, they married in the end. 

Conan understands the significance of this story, and thus begins thinking. Heiji interrupts him and comments that the situation involving Katagiri, Sakuraba and Kakuhiko bears some resemblance to the story. Conan seemingly agrees with this analysis, but he chooses to not continue talking about this topic; he insteads asks whether Heiji has found “the thing”. As the answer is negative, Conan suggests that Heiji, with the help of a rope, try to jump off the balcony to reach that of the room below. Heij manages to do so easily; additionally, on the balcony of the room on the second floor, he is able to see something hanging on the branches of a tree in the garden. They immediately head there to determine what that object is (after an incident in which Conan fell from the balcony and survived only because Sakuraba arrived in time to save him); it turns out to be a bloodstained shirt tied up by a long, thin string. By loosening the string, the detectives discover that the shirt is coating a kitchen knife and a pair of gloves (both, of course, have a large amount of blood on their surfaces). Conan also notices the presence of a piece of one-sided tape on one end of the string; with this, the detectives are confident that they know who the murderer is and how the room was locked. But something doesn't feel right: a lot of details are still unexplained. 

Rain starts pouring down, and Ran and Kazuha suggest that unless they want to be completely soaked, Conan and Heiji should get back to the mansion. The word “rain” makes them think about “rain shutter”, and this in turn makes them realize that the truth behind the murder is actually different from their previous conjectures. Under this improved theory, the identity of the murderer changes, and definite evidence is lacking. Therefore, Conan and Heiji decide to devise a trap so that the murderer will hand over the evidence himself (or herself). This begins with the two detectives summoning everyone into the room where the murder took place and declaring Sakuraba to be the murderer.

He even feared that Sonoko was going to show it to Shinichi, when she talked about the picture of Ran. And since all of Sonoko's pictures were of couples, he thought that she might have taken the picture in the belief that it was another couple in an intimate moment.

<spoiler>

The culprit is '''Masuyo Mamiya'''. She is in reality a maid named '''Mutsumi Nishikawa''', who killed the grand mistress and took over her identity to search the castle for the treasure. The Grand Mistress had figured out that the maid was searching for the treasure and wanted to fire her, so since their voices were similar, Mutsumi came up with the plan to take her place. But she feared that the daughter couldn't be fooled, so she killed her and the long-time servants by setting the tower on fire. The fire also provided with a way for her old identity to 'die' official. She killed the assistant to get rid of other treasure hunters.
But Mitsuhiko rescues Conan, Genta and Agasa by using the glasses to track them, instead of going into Mutsumi's trap. Then Agasa asks a friend, who is a specialist in plastic surgery, if he had heard of someone who had requested to look like an old woman and managed to get Mutsumi's real identity.
Conan shows her the way to the treasure, which, to Mutsumi's chok turns out to be the castle itself and a beautiful view. Mutsumi break down upon realizing that she paid too high a price for nothing by killing people and change her appearance into a old woman.

=== Wedding Murder Case ===
{{ref anime|141-142|The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case}}

==== File 211 - A Nice Day in Tokyo ====
Heiji and Kazuha arrive in Tokyo in order to attend the wedding of the son of a former classmate of Heiji’s mother; she was originally the one invited, but since she broke her toe bones while cooking, Heiji was asked to attend instead. Kazuha comes along because, according to her, Heiji’s mother wants her to take care of him whilst he is in Tokyo; Heiji disputes this account, and claims instead that Kazuha is in Tokyo mainly for shopping. Since they arrive one day in advance, they decide to take a guided tour of the city that day (the guides, unsurprisingly, are Kogoro, Ran and Conan). After spending some time in Shibuya, Kazuha decides to go shopping; Ran suggests that they head to the stores that she knows of. Kazuha rejects this coldly, saying that she already has the stores that she wants to visit in mind. Ran thus offers to accompany her to the stores of her choice, which Kazuha accepts. The two girls thus head to a shopping mall; at one point, Ran asks Kazuha whether a particular shirt suits her; Kazuha, without lifting her head to look at Ran, answers in affirmative, adding indifferently that Ran’s cuteness will make everything fit her well. She then encourages Ran to buy the sweater, which she does. 

After shopping, the two girls head back to Kogoro’s rented car to wait for the detectives, who have not returned. Ran, having noticed that Kazuha seems to be holding something against her, asks her what the problem is. Kazuha, after hesitation, reveals that it bothers her that Ran and Heiji wear shirts with the same colors, patterns and styles in their encounters. She conjectures that they have a special relationship, and that before they meet they secretly agree on what to wear (which Kazuha finds gross). Ran, realizing the misunderstanding, takes off her shirt without thinking twice, and puts on the shirt that she just bought. Kazuha is astonished by this, as they are in the middle of a busy commercial district, and Ran only has underwear below. Ran, after changing, tells Kazuha joyfully that now Heiji and she are not wearing the same thing; Kazuha blushes, and exclaims that Ran is a genuinely good person. 

After the return of the three detectives, they head to Meiji Shrine, which, because of its historical importance and the fact that if one makes a wish there, it is likely to come true, is a major tourist attraction. There, they coincidentally meet the butler of the family whose son is getting married; his name is Akio Shigematsu. Heiji, who knows Shigematsu from when he was a child, asks what he is doing at the shrine; the latter replies that he is accompanying the fiancée Kaede Katagiri on a tour of Tokyo (as she is from somewhere else). Heiji thus wonders where the fiancé (whose name is Kikuhito Morizono) is, to which Katagiri replies, apologetically, that he is unwell because she insisted on ascending to the panoramic platform of Tokyo Tower, ignorant of his extreme acrophobia. 

At this point, Shigematsu asks Katagiri what wish she is making; the latter says that she wants to be blessed with children. Conan and Heiji notice that as she replies, her expression is somewhat unnatural; Ran explains, knowledgably, that women could be slightly unstable ahead of a wedding, and Kazuha adds that that is why the term “pre-wedding anxiety” exists. They then look at each other and say “right?” happily; Heiji is puzzled by this interaction, and wonders when their relationship has grown so close. 

After visiting the shrine, and upon the invitation of Shigematsu, Kogoro, Ran and Conan head to the mansion of Morizono family with the butler, the fiancée and the two wedding invitees. In the garden, they meet Kihuhito’s sister Yurie and servant Yuji Sakuraba. Sakuraba has just managed to find the naughty family pet Rebecca (who is a cat) in the crown of a tall tree; as he shows Rebecca to Ran and Kazuha, who find her lovely, Rebecca is able to escape again. 

At the dinner table, the visitors finally meet Mikio Morizono, the head of the family and the father of Kikuhito and Yurie. Noticing that Rebecca is not around, he asks Sakuraba to look for it, and tells Kogoro (of whom he is a fan) that her wife used to love the cat. Kogoro wonders why he used the past tense; Kikuhito interjects and explains that her mother passed away in an unfortunate car accident (Mikio is later revealed to be in the car then too, but he was lucky, and only injured his leg). 

After the dinner, Kogoro, Ran and Conan plan to return home; Heiji and Kazuha accompany them to the garden to say goodbye. As the three near the entrance of the mansion, Heiji sighs in relief, commenting that there is no murder case this time. This prediction is soon proven to be wrong: right as he speaks, a window on the third floor breaks, prompting the detectives to rush back into the mansion. Ran is ordered to stay where she is to see if anyone suspicious jumps out of the mansion, and Kazuha sets out to look for Shigematsu. He turns out to be missing, and the door leading to the room with the broken window is locked. Since Shigematsu is the only one with the key to that lock, Kogoro and Heiji have no choice but to break in with brute force. There is nothing but a blood trail in the dark room, but by following the blood trail, the detectives are led to the adjoining room; this one is well-lit, and Shigematsu is found sitting on the floor, soundless and unmoving. There is a huge red patch on his left chest, which suggests that he died from a stab wound that penetrated the heart directly.

==== File 351 - Golden Apple 2 ====
[[File:Sharon on Chris.png|thumb|left|150px|Sharon laments about her troubled life, mentioning her daughter, Chris]]
[[Sharon Vineyard]] speaks of her past filled with misfortunes, mentioning her daughter, [[Chris Vineyard]]. She reveals that Chris and her had fallen out, and haven't seen each other in over ten years as Chris had begun "hanging out with a bad crowd." Sharon escorts [[Yukiko]], [[Shinichi]], and [[Ran]] to the dressing room to meet the cast: Lilas Sanchez, Rose Hewitt, Akane Neilson, and Iberis Hamilton. After brief introductions, Iberis mentions a mysterious gift sent to the actresses, a golden apple with the words "For the Fairest" written on it. Then, Heath Flockhart, the star actor, enters the room recommending to show their guests backstage. While exploring the narrow gaps that make up the backstage, Ran notices the play's costumes hung up on the ceiling. Suddenly, a tether snaps causing a large armor piece to fall onto the group. Most manage to escape, but Rose's dress is caught on a sign. Seeing this, Ran rushes over and tackles her out of the way as the armor crashes onto the floor. Rose suspects that she's being targeted, stating that the prop mirror — which is the cast's lucky charm — must've given her the luck to survive. Sharon, however, points to Ran as Rose's savior. After Rose expresses her gratitude to her, Ran notices she's scraped her arm. Sharon hands her a handkerchief before leaving the set, saying that she has "something to take care of." [[File:Sharon's handkerchief.png|thumb|right|200px|Sharon hands Ran a handkerchief]]Yukiko and Ran enjoy the performance while Shinichi calls it cliche. He explains that the play is based on an ancient Greek myth where a festival is held on Mount Olympus where most of the Gods are invited. Eris, the Goddess of discord, however, is not invited. Angered, she throws a Golden Apple with the words "For the Fairest" into the crowd. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite see the apple challenging them to determine who the apple is for, letting a Trojan Prince decide. Shinichi explains that Lilas plays Hera, Akane plays Athena, and Rose plays Aphrodite with Iberis playing Eris and that in the end, it is Aphrodite who is chosen by the prince. Yukiko then states that this show is different from the Greek myth and that there is a twist at the end. Heath, who was playing the Trojan Prince, reveals himself as the Christian Archangel, Michael. Before Michael can reveal the answer to Eris' question, Shinichi notices a red beam of light coming from the audience and into the smokescreen shrouding the stage. Michael is then lifted into the air by the stage cables but to everyone's horror, he is shown dead.

==== File 352 - Golden Apple 3 ====
[[File:Dead Heath.png|thumb|left|200px|The Dead Archangel]]
Pandemonium ensues as Michael (played by Heath) is shot. Shinichi rushes up to the spectator box from which he saw the red beam of light. All that is left is a single bullet cartridge. Radish Redwood examines Heath's body, learning that he was shot at an angle of 40 degrees. Yukiko arrives, recounting the events of Heath's assassination to the police. Meanwhile, Shinichi pulls on Redwood's face to test if he's still a disguise worn by Sharon Vineyard. 
Redwood discovers strange burn marks under Heath's neck, as well as smudged blood on Heath's hands despite there being no traces of him touching his bloodstained costume. With Yusaku unavailable, Ran entertains the idea of Shinichi solving the case, citing his contributions to the murder case on the airplane on the way to New York.<ref name="Shinichi's_First_Murder_Case"> Shinichi's First Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume_21#Shinichi's_First_Murder_Case|Volume 21: 204-207]])</ref> Hearing Ran's praise, Yukiko is surprised by her son's apparent proficiency at deduction. Shinichi concludes that the murderer is one of the four actresses on stage alongside Heath. The gun cartridge Shinichi had found in the spectator box wasn't hot, meaning it wasn't fired and instead placed there to throw off the investigation. Shinichi also says that the falling armor was likely not an accident as he found a cut on the floor as well as a segment of nylon string — the same type of nylon string found on the armor. Redwood and Yukiko then press Shinichi on how someone less than 6ft tall could shoot Heath from a higher angle, but Shinichi confesses that he hasn't figured that out yet. [[File:Shinichi Investigates Mirror Behind Ran.png|thumb|right|250px|Shinichi investigates the scratched mirror behind Ran.]]
Later, the four actresses are seen fidgeting with various items while arguing about their flings they each had with Heath. However, Yukiko reveals to Redwood and Ran that Iberis was Heath's wife but decided to keep it a secret from her colleagues. 
Shinichi goes to investigate the mirror in which the murder took place. He asks Ran to hold up a pamphlet above her head to grasp Heath's height. Comparing the simulated height to the mirror's height, Shinichi notices that the all-important mirror has been truncated, leaving a visible mark on the glass. Shinichi goes around the back of the mirror and sees a feather from Heath's costume stuck on a grate that seemingly covers nothing. He lifts the grate to see two streaks of blood running across the floor.

==== File 353 - Golden Apple 4 ====
Shinichi wishes to examine the costumes that are hung above the stage, much to the dismay of the theater workers. Yukiko arrives, charming the men into giving up information. While Redwood and his associate discuss the possibility of an outside perpetrator, the lights suddenly shut off on stage. Yukiko, under the name "The Night Baroness," appears in the spotlight, reciting the deduction Shinichi had told her explained to her. Meanwhile, Shinichi explains to Ran his deduction. 
<spoiler>
'''The culprit is Rose Hewitt''' 
Shinichi states that Heath couldn't hide completely behind the mirror as it is too short, and Heath's wings didn't let him crouch. Hence, the production must've utilized a trap door to lower his stature. Yukiko commands to rotate the stage contraption behind the mirror until the grate that once led to nothing covers a hole to the stage's trap cellar. The police investigate and find the cartridge and several feathers from Heath's costume. Yukiko points to Rose Hewitt as the culprit as her position lying beside the base of the mirror lets her aim beneath the mirror, through the grate, and at Heath's chest. The other actresses protest that Rose couldn't have known that the production would use the trapdoor, but as Rose would be so close to the grate in question, the staff would have to notify her of its use. The reason for the truncated mirror must've been because Rose had purposely damaged the top corner of the mirror. Not wanting to demoralize the cast, the staff had quietly removed the damaged portion of the mirror and connected the remaining two pieces, losing some of its height in the process. Rose had also stuck the gun into Heath's costume, letting the gun rise into the air before eventually falling back down to the stage to mimic it being thrown onto the stage. Thus, a burn mark appears on Heath's chest. However, while positioning the gun on Heath's body, he grabbed Rose's forearm with his bloodstained hand, leaving his print on her gloves. 
Shinichi states that he saw how Rose had trouble opening a can with gloves back in the dressing room, a sign that she had a reason not to remove them. The inspector turns Rose's gloves inside out, revealing the aforementioned bloodstains. 
When asked about her motive, Rose states that she felt betrayed by Heath, as he said he'll quit his role as Michael to take on a film role, despite knowing how much Rose loved his portrayal of the archangel. Rose proceeds to callously thank Ran for saving her life from the falling armor, consequently letting her perpetrate her crime.
</spoiler>
[[File:Ran and Akai.png|thumb|right|200px|A mysterious long-haired Japanese man stands before Ran.]]
Yukiko departs to the police station for questioning, leaving Shinichi and Ran to go to the hotel. But before she leaves, she warns them of the serial killer: a long-haired Japanese man. On the cab ride, Shinichi notices Ran in a dazed state, asking her if Rose's words had gotten to her. She denies it. Ran leaves the cab window open, claiming that she can see the New York views better that way. Shinichi protests that the cab's interior will get wet from rain, but Ran says she'll use the handkerchief Sharon gave her to wipe the seat, but a sudden gust of wind blows the cloth out of her hands and into the streets. Ran immediately asked the driver to stop so she could retrieve it. Shinichi notices the handkerchief stuck on the service staircase of a dilapidated building and sets off to get it. As he leaves, Ran remembers Sharon's words, "I wonder if there is God. If he truly existed, he wouldn't let such a cruel thing happen," and Rose's words, "Thank you... You helped me to make it." Ran suspects Sharon knew Rose would kill Heath; that's why she pitied Ran for letting such a heinous thing happen. Wallowing in her rush of emotions, she notices someone approaching. Standing before her is [[Shuichi Akai|a long-haired Japanese man]].

==== File 354 - Golden Apple 5 ====
Ran is petrified by the long-haired man, thinking that he must be the infamous serial killer. The cab driver apparently thinks the same, so he urges Ran to quickly hop back in. Ran hesitates, as Shinichi has not come back yet; in the meantime, the long-haired man gets even nearer, causing the driver to drive off in panic. Ran turns around to face the man; fear is written all over her face, and she is completely frozen. To her great surprise, the man does not have hostile intentions; he just asks, in Japanese, whether Ran is from Japan. Ran answers in affirmative, so a conversation in Japanese ensues; from this conversation, we learn that the man is not the serial killer, but is seemingly in pursuit of him. 

A car stops right beside Ran and the man to interrupt their exchange. A blond man emerges from it and asks the man (in English) whether he has found the serial killer. The man replies that he has only found a tourist (i.e. Ran), and that the serial killer is probably somewhere else. The man then turns to Ran, grabs her by the arm, and warns her of the danger of the area. He then orders Ran to head to the main street around the corner to get a taxi, but Ran says that she needs to wait for Shinichi. The man, seeing that Ran is unwilling to leave, has no choice but to double down on his warnings: his facial expression turns menacing again, and he demands that Ran and Shinichi disappear immediately from that neighborhood. The man then leaves with his associate, murmuring that since all entrances to the alley have been secured, it is fine to leave Ran alone. 

Ran, knowing that the man’s words mean that the threat from the serial killer is real, heads into the abandoned building in an attempt to notify Shinichi about the danger. She climbs up the staircases on the exterior, and notices drops of blood on the stairs. Thinking that they have been left by Shinichi, she wonders what happened to him, and follows the drops upstairs. On the way, she experiences an overwhelming sensation of guilt, and she thinks that she is ultimately responsible for Heath’s death and the perilous situation that Shinichi and she are in at the present. Ran is also getting increasingly feeble due to the relapsing fever, but manages to hold on as she reminds herself that she needs to get Shinichi out of danger. 

After climbing a few floors, Ran hears the sound of footsteps descending the stairs. She is overjoyed by this; thinking that it must be Shinichi, she rushes forwards and calls out his name. To her horror, it is the serial killer who appears before her. Shinichi is on the floor above, apparently unharmed; he shouts to Ran, ordering her to run away. Ran, however, is again frozen, and the serial killer suddenly starts talking. He recounts that it took him a lot of effort to find a good hiding place; but Shinichi found him, so he is now on the run again. He goes on to say that if Ran is to resent someone, it should not be him, but the God who prepared this cruel ending for her. 

As he utters these words, grimming, the serial killer attaches a silencer to his pistol in an attempt to kill Ran without making noise. But the rusty railings that he is leaning against start cracking and breaking, causing the serial killer to fall off. As Death prepares to usher him into the underworld, Ran grabs onto his jacket, thus saving his life. She is followed by Shinichi; with their help, the serial killer is able to get a grip on an unbroken railing. Then, in a move that stuns the two rescuers, the serial killer catapults himself athletically onto the stairs, and demands to know why Shinichi and Ran decided to save him. Shinichi, having positioned himself between Ran and the serial killer, stares right into the serial killer’s eyes and responds that he does not know why one would kill anyone, but, when it comes to saving someone, there is no reason or a logical mind needed. The serial killer seems to be amazed by this answer; Ran, on the other hand, is put at ease, as she now realizes that she was justified in saving Rose's life. A smile emerges on her face as she finally surrenders to the worsening fever and falls unconscious. 

Shinichi tries to wake Ran up, to no avail, so he lifts her up, carries her in his arms, and starts descending the stairs, seemingly taking no notice of the serial killer behind them. The serial killer draws out his pistol, but is advised by Shinichi to not do anything. Shinichi reasons that the serial killer’s recent injury implies that the people after him are still close. Since the silencer has fallen to the alley below, gunshots will definitely attract them. Shinichi goes on to say that since his circumstances do not allow him to apprehend him, he will let him go this time; however, if they were to ever meet again, he would send him to hell. The serial killer is astonished by Shinichi’s analysis and boldness; he remains speechless, and allows Shinichi and an unconscious Ran to leave safely. [[File:Shinichi carries Ran.png|thumb|left|200px|Shinichi carries Ran down the stairs.]]
On the next morning, Yukiko, Shinichi and Ran (who apparently has recovered) are seen at Central Park. Shinichi and Ran play with a squirrel while Yukiko converses with Sharon on the phone; the topics of conversation include whether Sharon knew that Rose would take certain actions, the serial killer’s apparent suicide after his encounter with Shinichi and Ran, and Ran’s wellbeing. Sharon concludes the call by asking Yukiko to tell Ran that “just like you said, perhaps an angel is looking out for me after all”. 

Ran’s recollections end here. In the present, Ran awakens from her sleep, and finds herself on a hospital bed. Kogoro and Conan lean in to greet her, attributing Ran's sudden fever to exhaustion from overworking. Kogoro tells Ran that she should thank Inspector Yokomizo, as he was the one to drive her at full speed to the hospital. He then asks her about the strange words, such as “saving people” or “logical mind”, that she apparently murmured during the sleep. Both Ran and Conan (for some reason) are embarrassed by this question, and Ran fires back fiercely that it is her secret, and that Kogoro should not even utter those words with his “hoarse voice”. This retort makes Kogoro slightly awkward, so he and Conan decide to leave her alone and come back to pick her up the next day. 

After they leave, Ran begins reflecting on the recollections that she made during the sleep. She realizes that it was the moment when Shinichi uttered those words to the serial killer that she started to have feelings for him. She also ponders the identity of the long-haired man who told her to leave; perhaps he was an FBI agent, given that his associate was wearing a jacket with that acronym on it?

==== File 355 - Mystery of the Haunted House 1 ====
[[File:Araide on Ran's health.png|thumb|left|150px|Doctor Araide reassures that Ran is healthy.]]
[[Conan]] (speaking as [[Shinichi]]) expresses his worries about [[Ran]]'s recent fever on the phone. Ran states how she had regained memories of the events in New York, questioning Shinichi about the whereabouts of [[Sharon Vineyard]]'s handkerchief. Shinichi makes up an excuse, concealing the fact that he lost it. He also talks about the suspicious suicide of the New York serial killer. He explains that it doesn't make sense for a man about to commit suicide to clean his hideout, believing that the serial killer had tried to cover his tracks before fleeing, only to have been murdered before the police arrived. Noticing someone at the door, Ran goes to open it, oblivious to the fact that it is her caller, Conan. Ran is startled to see him, saying that she thought Conan was a ghost. 
Later, at Doctor [[Araide]]'s clinic, [[Kogoro]] laughs at Ran's fear of ghosts while Araide confirms that she has fully recovered. The three, along with Conan, walk through the winding halls of Araide's house. At the same time, Araide explains that his grandmother and helper have already traveled to the Aomori prefecture, and he stays to direct his patients to different clinics. The group runs into a particularly stubborn patient, Houichi Otonashi, who Araide explains won't go to the clinic he had recommended. Otonashi claims that his apartment is haunted, daring Conan to come and investigate. 
[[File:The yellow apparition.png|thumb|right|200px|A bright yellow apparition appears down the hall.]]
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan follow Otonashi to his weathered apartment building. Before the apartment is a park where the scorched remains of a young woman were once discovered, while beside the apartment is a construction site put on indefinite hiatus as the client had hanged himself. 
Inside, they meet Kikuji Bancho, a tenant who works at a miniature shop and is into making dolls. They also meet Iwahisa Yotsuya, a tenant who's into tokusatsu films and anime. And finally, they meet Tsuyuhiko Botan, a graduate university student who remains the only tenant to have not sighted the supernatural. Otonashi explains how the strange occurrences began when he spotted a fireball swirling outside the window. Since then, countless supernatural events have driven out half the apartment's tenants. 
The three guests fall asleep in Otonashi's room. Ran wakes up to see the television inexplicably play footage of a frightening woman with burn scars repeating the words: "Get out." Her screams awaken the others; after determining that there is nothing wrong with the TV, Kogoro leaves to seek out the bathroom. As Kogoro attempts to flush the filthy toilet, the water is replaced with blood. The commotion wakes up the other tenants. Botan inspects the toilet tank but sees no irregularities. The group is given no time to think as a bright yellow apparition appears in the window down the hall.

==== File 356 - Mystery of the Haunted House 2 ====
Bancho walks forward to slide the window open, proving that there's no one on the other side. He says it must've been the restless spirit of the woman who was burned to death in the park next door. Skeptical, Kogoro believes that the prankster must've scurried onto the roof. However, he soon realizes that the window is on a completely flat wall, leaving no room for anyone to stand. Additionally, Ran says that the apparition had an amorphous profile, meaning it wasn't a reflection of anything corporeal. Otonashi reveals that the burned woman's name was Rui Tabuchi, and she was murdered by two men, both of whom are not yet apprehended. The identity of one of the killers is known, but the other remains a total mystery. Ran is frightened by a moth clinging to Kogoro's shirt; Yotsuya states that the moths are attracted to light and tend to gather in swarms. 
Conan goes to investigate the bathroom. Kogoro remarks that the foul stench has disappeared, and Conan smells alcohol from the toilet tank. While searching the TV and the outdoor AC unit, Conan asks Otonashi on what part of the construction site he saw the fireball, to which Otonashi replies the center. Otonashi also points to Bancho and Yotsuya as they witnessed the fireball from their rooms. 
Yotsuya's room is filled with VHS tapes and mangas. He says he saw the fireball when visiting his senior's former room, which is directly above his own. Conan notices that Yotsuya owns an 8mm film camera. Bancho's room is littered with intricate and dynamic dolls that seemingly change form when shined on with blacklight. Bancho claims that he saw the fireball from a window not pointing at the construction site. While the trio visits Botan's room, another moth clings to Kogoro's shirt, prompting Conan to re-examine the apparition's window. Conan believes that the culprit set up these elaborate illusions to hide evidence linked to the burning of Rui Tabuchi.

==== File 357 - Mystery of the Haunted House 3 ====
Kogoro and Ran are preparing to leave, but Conan feigns wanting to use the bathroom, pleading for Kogoro to accompany him.

<spoiler>

Conan appears at Bancho's door pointing to the pungent smell of the bathroom. Bancho goes to flush the toilet and is shocked to see the water turn red. Next, Conan points to the cursed TV playing the same footage that Ran had seen. Dumbfounded, Bancho stumbles backwards only to witness the same bright yellow apparition appear on the window. Bancho's screams alerts everyone to his location. Conan reveals a sleeping Kogoro, ready to shed light upon Bancho's tricks. 

'''The Red Toilet Water:''' 
Kogoro explains that Ammonium added to Phenolphthalein will react by turning pink/red. By storing Ammonium in the tank and Phenolphthalein in the bowl, flushing will force the two compounds to mix. In an already dimly lit setting, the possible pinkish coloring of the reaction can be seen as blood-red. Conan states that he found a bottle of Ammonium water in Bancho's room, along with a bottle of chloroform and some "scary videotapes." 

'''The Cursed TV Footage:''' 
Kogoro goes on to describe how the TV trick works. Since the whole apartment shares the same TV antenna, you can broadcast footage to the targeted TV by connecting a cable to the antenna. By utilizing a multi-remote, Bancho was able to control the channel of Otonashi's TV, thus allowing for the footage to be played. Bancho must've stood on the wall separating the apartment from the construction site to use the remote on the TV. He also poured chloroform into the outdoor AC unit, knocking out everyone in Otonashi's room and giving the illusion of waking up to a haunted TV. 

'''The Bright Yellow Apparition:''' 
Finally, the apparition was created by attracting swarms of male moths to the window. By lacing the window screen's mesh with a female moth's pheromone, male moths flocked to the screen. The eyes and mouth are created using black paper. Bancho gave the effect of a disintegrating profile by turning on a blacklight in his room (moths are more attracted to blacklight than pheromones). Lastly, Bancho had walked over to the window, flinging it open to dispel any remaining moths. 

Kogoro states that Bancho likely wanted to scare away the guests, motivating Otonashi to finally leave the apartment. Kogoro also reveals that Bancho was the second unknown culprit of Rui Tabuchi's murder. And his partner has been hiding in the unfinished construction site next door. The fireball that the tenants witnessed was the light from his partner's cigarette. To cover up the suspicious light coming from next door, Bancho had orchestrated supernatural occurrences to make people believe that the apartment was haunted. The reason Bancho lives in this apartment is so he can give food and supplies to his partner living next door. 
[[File:Screwed Bancho.png|thumb|right|150px|Ran is unimpressed by Bancho's attempt to scare her.]]
Defeated, Bancho makes a run for it. He attempts to frighten Ran by pulling the skull on his T-shirt over his face, but to no avail. Ran proceeds to easily dispatch him. 
It's later revealed that Bancho and his partner murdered Rui Tabuchi due to her filing for bankruptcy despite being loaned a large sum of money by the two men.

</spoiler>
[[File:Scary Sonoko.png|thumb|right|250px|Sonoko frightens Ran.]] 
Sometime later, Ran, Conan, and [[Sonoko]] walk through the streets of [[Beika]]. Ran explains how she has gotten over her fear of ghosts, prompting Sonoko to play a prank on her. Ran is easily frightened and runs off screaming. Sonoko stands amused by Ran's fear of the supernatural, calling it her "charm point."

==== File 358 - Disappearing Mitsuhiko 1 ====
[[File:Visiting the Tsuburayas.png|thumb|left|150px|The Detective Boys ask Mitsuhiko's older sister about the whereabouts of her brother.]]
The [[Detective Boys]] and [[Professor Agasa]] participate in the community's radio calisthenics session. [[Haibara]] points out how [[Mitsuhiko]] is not present and hasn't been for the past few days. Believing he is sick, the Detective Boys visit Mitsuhiko's house, where his older sister, [[Asami Tsuburaya]], greets them. Asami says that Mitsuhiko was packing for a trip last night, packing Sasa Dangos for food; coupled with the fact that he took his wallet with him, [[Conan]] theorizes that Mitsuhiko traveled somewhere far away. The group also notices that Mitsuhiko has only been absent from the radio calisthenics on Sundays. [[Genta]] wonders if he's going on a date with someone, to which Asami recalls Mitsuhiko got excited after a girl working at the florist called him "cool." The Detective Boys then go to the florist girl and inquire about their friend. She states that she remembers Mitsuhiko talking to people about "Uesugi, Takeda, Toyotomi, and Tokugawa," exciting [[Ayumi]] and Genta. The girl also recalled that an inconspicuous Mitsuhiko had boarded the local bus in the morning and that he smelled like lemon. The Detective Boys then ask the bus driver if he remembers picking up Mitsuhiko. The bus driver confirms that he did board, noting that he suspiciously didn't gaze out of the window like most kids do and instead fixed his eyes straight forward. The bus driver also says that Mitsuhiko got off at [[Beika Station]]. [[File:Yamamura on Numabuchi.png|thumb|right|250px|Inspector Yamamura reveals that serial killer, Numabuchi Ki'ichiro, is loose in the forest.]]The Detective Boys ask the station attendants if they saw Mitsuhiko. The attendant says he remembers a capped boy with a lemon scent hustling to exchange his adult ticket with a child ticket. Since he paid ¥1900 for his train ticket, he must've traveled to a station in either the Chiba or Gunma prefecture. The Detective Boys arrive at a rural station in Gunma right as the sun begins to set. Conan sees the signal from Mitsuhiko's Detective Badge, confirming that he is near. They track the signal to a forest, where they notice a large group of people crowded amongst the shrubs. The Detective Boys go to ask if they saw their friend but find that the crowd is the Gunma Prefectural Police led by Inspector [[Misao Yamamura]]. Inspector Yamamura tells the boys to leave immediately, whispering that the serial killer, [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]], had just escaped from their custody and into the woods. Knowing Mitsuhiko is also somewhere in the woods, Conan desperately rings his detective badge to alert him of the danger.

==== File 359 - Disappearing Mitsuhiko 2 ====
Inspector Yamamura is shocked to learn that a child is lost in the forest. But after hearing that the Detective Boys used their gimmicky gadgets to figure out Mitsuhiko's location, he becomes skeptical. Conan steps forward to show him his glasses but notices it is out of battery. The other men arrive to scold Yamamura for losing Numabuchi before ordering him to send the children back to a safe place. 
[[File:Numabuchi discovered.png|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi spots a hiding Numabuchi.]]
The Detective Boys, escorted by Inspector Yamamura, look for Mitsuhiko as they leave the forest. As nightfall descends on the woods, Ayumi and Genta show off their [[Wristwatch Flashlight]]s, leading Yamamura to believe that the boys were not lying about their gadgets and that a boy is, in fact, lost in the forest. Yamamura scurries to inform his colleagues but realizes he left his phone in his car. Devastated by his failure to hold onto Numabuchi and inform his superiors about the missing child, Yamamura falls to his knees. He reflects on how he finally realized his dream of becoming a police inspector (after watching detective dramas as a kid), only to fail titanically. Seeing the distraught detective, Conan reminds him of the recent spectacular deeds the inspector has done, citing his deductions in all the cases where Conan knocked him out with the stun gun wristwatch and used him as the detective. Inspired, Yamamura rises, accepting Agasa's offer to help find Mitsuhiko. He also says that from now on, he wishes to go by: "Mr. Yama." 
An exhausted Mitsuhiko stands by a small river. He notices that his detective badge is buzzing; he's comforted by his friends actively looking for him but chooses not to answer, believing that his mission would be in vain. 
[[File:Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko.png|thumb|right|250px|Mitsuhiko encounters Numabuchi.]]
Meanwhile, inspector Yamamura reveals that during questioning, Numabuchi claimed he had killed an additional person (which would boost his kill count to four). He apparently buried the remains in the forest behind his hometown. Yamamura also talks about how Numabuchi didn't seem like he wanted to escape as he spoke of often visiting the woods in his childhood. 
With no physical clues as to where he is, the group decides to consider what Mitsuhiko was doing with his sasa dangos, lemon scent, and knowledge of Japanese warlords. Conan says that the smell of lemon is likely from the sunscreen he brought with him, as it had the dual functionality of being bug repellent. Ayumi suddenly notices Numabuchi hiding in the trees directly above them. Discovered, the serial killer jumps down and disappears back into the forest. Haibara is left in shock after sensing a horrifying aura coming from Numabuchi. Inspector Yamamura likens Numabuchi's tree climbing skills to Ushiwakamaru's flying ability. Ushiwakamaru triggers Conan's epiphany as he realizes what Mitsuhiko's motivations are, along with his current location. He sets off to bring his friend home. 
Mitsuhiko is at his limit, unable to walk much further. He determines that he can no longer continue his plan and must call his friends. Hearing Conan's voice in the distance, a joyous Mitsuhiko steps forward but runs into Numabuchi. The latter grins, stating that the two of them are the same.

[[File:Haibara's doubts.png|thumb|left|200px|Haibara believes she's being desensitized to danger.]]
While Conan frantically searches for his friend using the detective badge, Numabuchi ominously stands before a terrified Mitsuhiko. Conan considers if Numabuchi has already abducted Mitsuhiko, but then he runs into the remaining Gunma police force. He informs the officers of Mitsuhiko as the rest of the Detective Boys arrive. The senior officer reprimands Yamamura for losing Numabuchi again before extending the operation to a potential hostage crisis. Conan states that Mitsuhiko has to be near the small river, but Haibara finds Mitsuhiko's hat, saying that Mitsuhiko was likely in a situation that didn't let him retrieve it. Conan finds sweat on the rim of the cap, believing that it hasn't been long since Mitsuhiko dropped the hat. Additionally, Conan believes Mitsuhiko didn't answer his detective badge because his hands weren't free. [[File:Numabuch's file.png|thumb|right|100px|Numabuchi was set to be a test subject for the APTX4869.]]
Expecting the worst, Ayumi and Genta debate how to distinguish Numabuchi from the police in the darkness. Haibara proceeds to detail Numabuchi's description with unexpected precision. She then reveals to Conan and professor Agasa that Numabuchi was associated with the [[Black Organization]]. The organization originally hired him as one of their assassins, but his mental instability made him unfit. The organization transferred him to Haibara's department, set to become a subject to test the nascent [[APTX4869]] on. Numabuchi would escape before the test, aimlessly running from the organization and committing several murders. 
Conan asks why Haibara couldn't sense the Black Organization's aura on him. Haibara responds that her quiet life with the Detective Boys is slowly desensitizing her to the dangers and that her days may be numbered. Conan reassures her, and the two continue their search for Mitsuhiko. 
Ayumi and Genta hear Mitsuhiko's badge, believing their friend must be near. They pull back the bush to see Numabuchi holding Mitsuhiko. The Gunma police are alerted to the scene as Numabuchi compliantly releases Mitsuhiko while telling everyone to shut their lights off. 

<spoiler>

The Detective Boys ask why Mitsuhiko didn't respond to them and why he's cupping his hands. Genta forces his hands open out of curiosity, and out flies a firefly.
[[File:Numabuchi and fireflies.png|thumb|right|220px|Numabuchi looks upon his friends one last time.]]
* Conan explains that Mitsuhiko was getting scolded by the older men because he asked where he could find fireflies—an endangered species.
* Mitsuhiko had mentioned ancient Japanese warlords that were rivals, especially Genji and Heike: the names of the two most common species of fireflies in Japan.
* Mitsuhiko brought Sasa Dango so he could add habitat to a temporary insectarium for the bugs with the leaves.
* Mitsuhiko couldn't answer his badge because answering would mean uncupping his hands, thus letting the firefly escape.
* Mitsuhiko likely traveled here by himself so he could grant Ayumi and Haibara's wish of one day seeing the fireflies. 

Professor Agasa asks why Numabuchi asked to come to this forest. Conan replies that he likely came for the same reason as Mitsuhiko; he wanted to see the fireflies one last time before his execution—the fireflies he cherished during his childhood.

</spoiler>

A few days later, at school, Ayumi converses with Haibara about sightings of a Tsuchinoko—a mythical Japanese creature. Ayumi then expresses interest in seeing one herself. Hearing this, Genta and Mitsuhiko consider searching for one themselves in an attempt to impress the girls.

==== ''Majorr events'' ====
* Conan discovers that is the serial murderer Numabuchi who is in the forest with Mitsuhiko (and a chill goes through his body when he recalls the incident in which he was nearly killed).
* Numabuchi does not harm Mitsuhiko because he was reminded of himself as a child. He brings Mitsuhiko to safety and turns himself in to the police.
* Haibara tells Conan that Numabuchi was a member of the organization. According to Haibara, he was recruited into the organization for his speed but was not psychologically well and became a scapegoat for the APTX 4869. However, he escaped from the organization, committed three murders, became involved in the case of Naniwa and then got arrested.

=== Onikame Island Case ===
{{ref anime|291-293|Solitary Island of the Princess and the Dragon King's Palace}}

==== File 361 - Death Island ====
[[File:Conan Heiji Kazuha Ran Beach.png|thumb|left|275px|The four protagonists at the beach.]]
At a beach in Okinawa, [[Heiji]] and an unenthusiastic [[Conan]] attempt to deduce what kind of swimsuits girls are wearing. [[Kazuha]] and [[Ran]] catch the two, and the former mocks Heiji for playing such a lascivious activity with an elementary schooler. Heiji suspects she's upset as he made her wait in front of the BIGMAN at Umeda station for too long. Kazuha vehemently denies it—clearly signaling that she is upset. Kazuha reveals that she followed Heiji to Okinawa not because Heiji was trying to make it up to her but because Ran was tagging along with [[Kogoro]], who, along with Heiji, is set to star in an "East vs. West" match deciding who is the greater detective. Heiji is irritated by Kogoro's cocky attitude he expresses to the cameras, fully aware of the latter's fraudulent nature. Heiji overhears the director, Masao Taketomi, asking everyone to prepare as they plan on previewing the setting for tomorrow's shoot: an uninhabited island where a corpse and a mysterious message were discovered. Taketomi asks Heiji if he wants to tag along. After brief consideration, Heiji grabs Conan and accepts the offer. 
[[File:A flustered Kazuha.png|thumb|right|200px|Kazuha wonders what Heiji will call her.]]
The boat approaches the island, Funaurajima, more commonly known as Onigamejima (English: Demon Turtle Island), shaped like a turtle. Heiji says that the tourist business dried up after several crimes such as kidnappings and robberies were committed against mayor Kaneshiro's household. The mayor called the TV station to set the detective showdown on Funaurajima so they could revive its image and popularity. 
Heiji spots two men, Noburou Ikema and Yoshitsugu Kume, flirting with Kazuha and Ran. Annoyed, he pulls Kazuha away, almost claiming that "she's his," but instead labels her as a "random childhood friend." Yoshie Taira and Mikihiko Daito introduce themselves along with the boat's captain, Takashi Shimoji, who remains silent. Ikema and Kume scare the girls with tales of soul-sucking demons, while Heiji deduces that Taira's swimsuit will be white but soon sees her in the ocean wearing a black wetsuit. 
[[File:Deceased Taira.png|thumb|right|200px|Taira Yoshie is found strangled on the beach along with another message.]]
Heiji and Conan read the relevant mysterious message that's been etched into a beam of a dilapidated structure: "The princess sleeps in the Ko and not the Otsu (姫眠るは甲なりて乙にあらず)." Taketomi explains that people discovered an emaciated corpse leaning on the message's beam a year ago. It's theorized that he was a passenger on a boat that capsized due to massive hurricanes from the previous year. Kazuha wonders why someone would construct a house on an uninhabited island, to which Taira answers that mayor Kaneshiro built it to be a vacation getaway, but hurricanes eventually tore it apart. Heiji is pleased to see that, just like his deduction, Taira wore a white bikini under her wetsuit. Daito says that the island has changed since the last time he saw it, adding that until two years ago, he fished for mackerel near the island's waters. Ikema and Kume say that this island was a perfect place for diving, but they were the only two who'd still come around after the crimes. Taketomi sends the crew to scout for interesting locations on the island while he discusses matters with Heiji. 
Later that day, most of the crew returned to the boat. Conan and Heiji ponder the message's meaning. Because Ko (甲), Otsu (乙), and Hei (丙) was an ancient ranking system of one, two, and three, the detectives vaguely theorize that it's trying to say that "the princess is sleeping at one, not two." Ran and Kazuha worries about Taira as it has been an hour since everyone else returned. They wonder if she's still diving which alerts Conan and Heiji. The two boys sprint off and split up; Conan and Ran go around one side of the island while Heiji and Kazuha go around the other. The two converge at the opposite end only to see a deceased Taira with strangulation marks around her neck and another message written in the sand.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Kogoro's car runs out of gas while he is driving in the mountains with Ran and Conan. Fortunately, a man called Michiyoshi Majima passes by, and kindly picks them up and invites them to his mansion. Majima turns out to be the director of a furniture company, and he owns an enormous mansion in rural Shizuoka. The mansion has a beautiful stone garden with an artificial waterfall; three times every day, the water is allowed to flow into the empty sandy pool right next to the waterfall (then, in half an hour, the pool will be automatically drained), and the resulting sight is exceptionally pleasant. Majima proudly shows the three visitors this garden, and mentions that it was constructed under the order of Director Kiyama, the former head of the company; he died in a car accident, one year ago.

After this visit, the three visitors are ushered by the housekeeper Ayaka Honjo into the mansion. There, they meet Masayuki Hashimoto, the private secretary of Majima, Nobuaki Endo, the director of Kiyama Interior, and Tomonori Kiyama, a freelance writer of a travelling magazine and Director Kiyama's son. They are there to attend a ceremony, and after spending an afternoon and a dinner with them, it becomes clear that some of them hold grudges against Majima. So, it is hardly a surprise when Majima turns up dead the next morning in the middle of the (empty) sandy pool of the rock garden.

}}

==== Part 2 ====
Inspector Yokomizo arrives on the scene and begins an investigation. Kogoro accuses Hashimoto of committing the murder, as Kogoro knows that he owed Majima a lot of money and Majima threatened to fire him. After being proven wrong, Kogoro then floats the idea that Honjo committed the murder. He wants her to confess, but she swears that she did not kill anyone, and that the only thing that she has been hiding is that she is the daughter of Director Kiyama's driver, who died with the Director in the car accident. She says that after hearing rumors that Majima was behind the murder, she decided to work at his company in order to determine the truth. She further reveals that Endo knew all along who she is, and that, during the previous night (At around 10:40), he threatened to reveal her identity to Majima.

This disclosure, along with the fact that the police found a threatening note that Endo wrote to Majima, makes Kogoro and Yokomizo turn their attention to Endo. They head to the roof of the mansion to investigate, as, in the note, Endo wrote that he would expose Majima unless he would head to the roof at 11 PM the previous night (Endo planned to kill Majima there, but, as we will see, he did not succeed). Once there, Kogoro gets inspired again, and this time, he accuses Endo of committing murder. Kogoro says Endo just needed to tie a rope to an arrow and shoot the arrow towards the large tree beside the waterfall with a bow. Then, he would be able to to place the body in the middle of the sandy pool with a pulley and without having to step on the sand.

Kogoro confidently says that in order to destroy the rope afterwards, Endo would tie it to another arrow and shoot the arrow into the nearby forest. Following this line of thought, the police begins a search of the forest, and they actually manage to find a rope tied to an arrow. Conan is shocked by this finding, as he believes that the position that the dead body was in makes it impossible for that trick to have been used. So he begins his own investigation, and soon he is able to determine the truth.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler> Conan tranquillizes Kogoro and begins the deduction show. He claims that the crime was probably committed around 8:30 PM, and that after murdering Majima, the culprit would place Majima's body on an air mat so that it would float in the (then-filled) sandy pool. The culprit would also have tied a rope to the air mat, so that when the water started receding after 8:30 PM, they could shove Majima's body with the picking rod while pulling back the air mat. In this way, Majima's body would lie in the middle of the drying pool, the air mat could be retrieved, and the impossible crime was executed. The only downside of this plan is that dragging the air mat would leave marks on the rocks at the edge of the pool; this was subsequently noticed by Conan, and it became the cornerstone of his deduction.

Conan then declares '''Tomonori Kiyama''' to be the culprit. He conjuectures that during the previous night, after leaving the dining hall at around eight, Kiyama did not return to his room but went to the main wing of the mansion to kill Majima. Since everyone else was still in the dining hall, he did not have to worry about being seen during and after the murder (i.e. when he was in the rock garden). He did have to make sure to not be seen during the return to his room, though, and this was complicated by the fact that Honjo would be working at the "reception" near the mansion entrance after dinner. However, Kiyama knew that Endo planned to talk to Honjo in private in order to threaten her (Endo's real intention was to just distract Honjo, so that she would not notice Kiyama going up to the roof before 11 pm), so he just waited outside until Endo and Honjo started talking, around 10:40 pm.

Since Conan has yet to present any actual evidence, Kiyama fights back vehemently and denies that he killed Majima. However, after Conan showed him the air mat that he used, Kiyama gives up resisting. He recounts that Majima messed with the brakes of the car in order to murder his father, so that he could become the director of the company instead. Kiyama then says that once he learned this, he started planning how to murder Majima, and Endo's own murder plan gave him the perfect opportunity to do so. </spoiler>

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

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Heiji invites Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to visit him in [[Wikipedia: Osaka|Osaka]], taking them on a sightseeing tour. In a restaurant, they run into Kazuha Toyama, Heiji's childhood friend, who appears to be jealous of Ran, asking her if she's "that Kudo girl" that Heiji keeps talking about and telling Ran to back off, because Heiji and her have been "joined by steel" for ages. Ran laughs and explains herself and the two girls hit it off. After finishing their meal, Kazuha joins them on their exploration of the city, but, as they leave the restaurant, a dead body falls from the roof of the building, hitting Kogoro's rental car.

The police arrive and quickly realise that this newest victim, a man in his forties, has been killed in the same fashion as two other people who died a few days earlier, by being stabbed in the heart through their wallets.

Eventually, they discover that the victims as well as MP Goji all attended the same driving school and were involved in a fatal accident 20 years prior. Heiji, who makes the discovery, decides to confront the MP.
Conan joins Ran and Kazuha who tell him that Osaka Police have discovered the hiding place of a criminal on the run, and that they suspect said criminal, Kiichiro Numabuchi, to be involved in the murders.

Yusuke's father Tetsuji was a driving instructor who died in an accident 20 years ago. Six of his students had played a prank on him by plying him with alcohol, and he suffered a fatal car crash. The students involved in the fatal prank were the four murder victims, MP Sotaro Goshi, and the escaped convict Numabuchi. They had done so because he was always strict with them and they hated that, all they wanted to do was scare him a little not kill him.

Sakata says he had always wondered about his father's death, he was usually a very careful driver. When he stumbled upon Numabuchi after he had escaped from prison, the latter got frightened and asked "Instructor Inaba" immediately for forgiveness, confusing Yusuke with his father. Yusuke heard the true story behind his father's death and forced Numabuchi to stay in the hut in the forest, planning to take revenge on the other five students before eventually framing Numabuchi for the murders, and making his death look like a suicide.

In panic, Sakata blindly shoots at things in the shack, one of the projectiles hits a gas tank and the shack catches fire.
}}

Both Heiji and Sakata manage to escape blaze and are taken to the hospital, however before being taken to the hospital Sakata talks to Ginshiro Toyama about everything that’s happened. When suddenly Sotaro Goshi tries to attack Sakata after learning he had killed his friends and was after him as well, but is stopped by Ginshiro who states that they need to have a conversation about his past, leaving Goshi hanging his head in shame.

=== Aftermath ===
Heiji after being rescued from the burning shack and is rushed to hospital, accompanied by a panicked Kazuha, Ran and Conan. He wakes up in the ambulance, and says he couldn't just let Sakata die as "some idiot told me once that a detective who doesn't do anything when a culprit, confronted with his deductions, commits suicide, is just as guilty of murder", and Conan is stunned that Heiji remembers him saying that. Heiji closes his eyes again, exhausted, and Kazuha starts to cry, believing he is about to die. Her sobs wake an angry Heiji up, he yells that he was just trying to sleep and she should stop being "so noisy". Smirking, Kazuha "accidentally" leans over Heiji and digs her elbow into his bullet wound. They bicker all the way to the hospital.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* In the manga, Heiji remarks that the trick that was used to make the corpse of the third victim fall to the ground is the same as [[Volume 13#Illustrator Murder Case|the one]] used in a case that Kogoro (or rather, Conan) solved before. This part was removed in the anime.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Yusuke Sakata - Truman Salinger
:* Sotaro Goshi - Congressman Grady
:* Tayo Nishiguchi - Tammy Nightengale
:* Hidetoshi Nagao - Nathan Tollingsworth
:* Kazuto Noyasu - Castron Odalis
:* Sumie Okazaki - Susan Connely
:* Ki'ichiro Numabuchi - Cornelius Graver

== Rerun ==
* The episode was rerun on July 19, 2004. It was unchanged except for the addition of a new scene at the beginning.

== Trivia ==
* In the English Dub, for unknown reasons the last scene showing Hattori in the ambulance was cut out and never shown.

The {{nihongo|'''Detective Boys'''|少年探偵団|Shōnen Tantei-dan}}, also known as '''The Junior Detective League''' in the English [[Funimation]] adaption, are the pre-adolescent detectives with whom [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] solves the occasional crimes in which he and his [[Teitan Elementary]] classmates stumble into.

== History ==
The Detective Boys were informally founded when [[Ayumi Yoshida]] and [[Genta Kojima]] decided to [[A Haunted Mansion Murder Case|investigate a mansion]] which was once a murder site and had been abandoned. Conan and his classmate [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya]] were drafted into accompanying the two, and the foursome entered the house. In the course of this adventure, Conan found out that the house was still inhabited by the mother and son of the murder victim; the son had killed his father in a fit of rage over his abusive behavior, and his mother had subsequently locked her own son in a dungeon beneath the house to wait until the deed's time-bar had passed. After Conan succeeded in exposing the two, they were arrested and the case was resolved.<ref>Manga Chapters 17-19, Anime [[Episode 20]]: Scary Building Case</ref>

In time, the four kept stumbling into more and more criminal cases, which were resolved thanks to Conan's deductive skills and initiative. Particularly after the case involving a sizable cache of stolen Italian gold coins<ref>Manga Chapters 36-39: Code Sheet Case</ref>, Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko developed a taste for detective work and impulsively decided to become investigators themselves, mostly for fame and glory. After advertising their services in school<ref>Manga Chapter 56: Formation! The Detective Boys</ref>, they have become actively involved in many criminal cases provided by their schoolmates, though more often than not they keep accidentally coming upon such during their free-time activities. Some time later, their new classmate (and former [[Black Organization]] member) [[Ai Haibara]] was drafted into the group and replaced Mitsuhiko as the second-in-command. Two adults also joined this group informally, namely Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa]], who provides the group with special gadgets to aid them in their adventures, and their class teacher [[Sumiko Kobayashi]], a mystery novel enthusiast who proclaimed herself their manager.

In most cases, the Detective Boys act more like aides to Conan, who is the group's (mostly undisputed) leader due to his intelligence, extensive criminal knowledge and experience. In this role they function mostly as additional pairs of eyes who provide Conan with trivial-seeming but important clues, and display little investigative brilliance or determination of their own. As the series progresses, however, the other members, particularly Ai and Mitsuhiko, have demonstrated in some cases, especially where Conan is not present or out of commission, that the Detective Boys have the potential of becoming skilled investigators in their own right. Famous cases of such include:

'''Manga''':
* Chapter 251-253: [[Volume 25#Dangerous Cave Case|Dangerous Cave Case]]
* Chapter 548-549: [[Volume 53#Kobayashi-sensei's Mystery|Kobayashi-sensei's Mystery]]
* Chapter 712-715: [[Volume 68#Kaitou Kid and the Kirin's Horn|Kaitou Kid and the Kirin's Horn]]
* Chapter 753-755: [[Volume 72#Two-Five-Two|Two-Five-Two]]
* Chapter 759-761: [[Volume 72#Wolf-Crier|Wolf-Crier]]

'''Anime''':
* Episode 182: [[The Big Investigation of the Nine Doors]] (TV original)
* Episode 225: [[The Secret of the High Sales]] (TV original)
* Episode 303: [[The Victim Who Came Back]] (TV original)
* Episode 936: [[Intrigue at the Food Court]] (TV original)

'''Movie''':
* Movie 13: [[The Raven Chaser]]
* [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]

'''OVA''':
* OVA 07: [[A Challenge from Agasa! Agasa vs. Conan and the Detective Boys]]
* OVA 11: [[A Secret Order From London]]

'''Note:''' Caution must be advised for OVAs, movies and TV originals, as these are essentially non-canonical with the manga series and therefore not 100% diagnostically conclusive.

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
The Detective Boys love Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa]] very much and they have a good familial relationship with each other. Professor Agasa has invented the 'Wristwatch Flashlight' and the 'Detective Boys Badge' to help them in their deductions and to contact each other in any situation that might come up.

Agasa, in turn, seems to consider the actual children of the group as surrogate grandchildren, and is willing to help them with various cases.

==== Sumiko Kobayashi ====
Sumiko Kobayashi is the current teacher of the class that the Detective Boys are in. She also proclaims herself to be their manager, much to the children's chagrin.

==== Rumi Wakasa ====
Since becoming assistant teacher in the Detective Boys' class, she has gone on a number of outings with them. She is secretly highly skilled at fighting and has protected the Detective Boys on a number of occasions. She also has very sharp deduction skills and has had to drop hints for Conan on the cases they've had together. However, there are indications that she is using the Detective Boys to her own ends.

==== Ran Mouri ====

==== Kogoro Mouri ====

== Trivia ==
* Genta refers to Conan as his apprentice in various episodes, mainly to show off to people.<ref>Anime Episode 129: The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case</ref>
* In an interview, Gosho Aoyama stated that the purpose of the Detective Boys was to act as a cover for Haibara.
* Conan has notebook with the Detective Boys badge symbol on it as shown in Episode 231.
* The Detective Boys in ''Detective Conan'' and Nobita and his friends in ''Doraemon'' both share a lot of resemblance.
** Interestingly enough, Ai Haibara also draw parallel to Doraemon's sister Dorami, being a wise and intelligent member.

=== Situation ===
==== The Case ====
Heiji and Kazuha take a motorcycle ride to Karakuri Pass, in the Yonago mountains, Tottori Prefecture, but they get lost in their way there. Kazuha remarks on how they forgot their cellphones and have run out of gas, and Heiji yells at her for tagging along when it isn't needed. It turns out Heiji was hired for a nice amount of money by a rich Tottori family to investigate some odd things that have happened in their home, but didn't give him their phone number.

The two are close to the forest and don't have camping gear handy, so Heiji says they should just plop down and sleep close together to keep each other warm. Kazuha is flustered at the idea and then gets angry when Heiji adds that he hopes she won't snore, and them someone appears from behind them and teases them about how couples shouldn't fight. It's an American man named Robert Taylor who is fluent enough in Japanese to understand their banter and acts very familiar towards the two. He mentions a Takeda family that housed him some years ago, and Heiji and Kazuha recognize their surname as the one of the family that hired Heiji, but he's lost, so he cannot really help them to get to their mansion.

A van passes around and, to call up the attention of the people in it, Heiji throws his helmet towards them. The driver's compantion turns out to be Kogoro, who gets hit and gets very mad at Heiji. Ran and Conan are also with him and they give Heiji, Kazuha and Robert a ride to the Takeda property. It turns out Kogoro was also hired by the Takedas, and for a very high sum of money as well, even sending out one of the family members, third son Yuuzo, to pick the group up in their van. He and Heiji discuss how the cards they also got from the family are rather odd and refer to a "spider". Yuzo Takeda explains that this about a "spider curse" that has befallen the Takeda family and their home, known as the "Spider Mansion of Tottori", one that no criminal should get close to.

When the group arrives to the Takeda household, Robert is devastated to learn that Misa, who had taken care of him in his last visit, killed herself by hanging few after his departure. Her mother Kinuyo and the family friend/associate Akio Negishi also commited suicide in a similar way. The one who relays the news is Youko, Yuzo's sister-in-law, who has just come from Tokyo alongside her husband Ryuuji and their kids Sae and Emi. Negishi was the business partner of Nobukazu Takeda, a famous doll-maker and Misa's father, as well as the one who actually hired Kogoro.

Nobukazu is surprised to see that Kogoro has brought several people with him, and he makes Heiji, Kazuha and Conan pass off as Ran's friends. He then talks briefly to Robert, who thanks him for letting him stay around some time ago. The twin girls Sae and Emi also arrive, but when Robert greets them cheerfully, they quietly call him "murderer" and accuse him of coming to kill people again before their mother scolds them and run away. The matriarch of the family, Chie, also watches them from a distance.

Kazuha is attacked with a stun gun after discovering some bb pellets. While searching, Heiji notices that the warehouse door, that he closed, was open and the criminal runs before Kazuha is killed. The twins claim that Robert wrote "Die" on a note to Misa.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan and Heiji cooperate to reveal the murderer's identity and his trick. '''Robert Taylor''' is the murderer. While Kinuyo Takeda's suicide was genuine and started the rumor of the Takeda Tsuchigumo Yokai, Misa Takeda's was caused due to a misunderstanding in a temporary farewell message left by Robert. One day Robert was the victim of a rockslide accident and nearly died if Misa did not save him. The injuries were severe that he could temporary not talk and as he could only write romanji, the two were initially unable to communicate with each other. Misa was already facing depression because she had learn that she was not her father's daughter. The true father was Ryuji and the conception was an arrangement between him and Misa's mother, because Nobukazu had been declared steril and Kinuyo desperately wanted a child. The Takeda brothers' mother figured the truth on her own and named her two other grand-daughters, so along with Misa's name they would make a loop: MISA-SAE-EMI. A romantic relationship blossomed between her and Robert. When Robert left he wrote in English "SHINE" for his beloved to express the sentiments that he considered her the "shine of his life". The twins mistook it to mean "to die" seeing it as a death threat and committed suicide for this reason. Negishi and the people who knew the truth about Misa's birth assumed it was out of shame. Robert returns and hears about her death from Akio Negishi who upon making a perversed comment about his beloved drove Robert into a rage where Negishi was strangled/hanged. He then resolved to murder the entire/key members of the Takeda family in the belief that they were responsible for her death. He sees Nobukazu Takeda as a perfect excuse for a callous victim as he was secretly involved in a drug smuggling operation.

He murdered Nobukazu by luring him to the lodge where the Takeda females committed suicide via telephone call. He would threaten to reveal his operation if he did not comply. Before this was set, he laid massive piles of silk thread in the attic, with one particular thread tied in the manner of a slingshot by the window. He lured Nobukazu to this position and to have him peak his head out by firing Bee Bee gun rounds against the pane. The instant he peaks out Robert would pull a string that would release the slingshot mechanism: effectively snapping Nobukazu's neck and leaving him dangling in silk threads much like the yokai curse. This was done at the time he was leaving to view constellations at an observation point on a motorbike so as to create an alibi.

Kazuha becomes an unwanted victim in his revenge scheme because she managed to find one of his BB rounds thinking it to be a pearl. When confronted and his plans revealed, he refused to express remorse over having dragged Kazuha into his plans and blames the whole family for Misa's death until Heiji decides to reveal what really drove Misa to suicide and Conan tries to stop him knowing it would scar the murderer for life. Robert becomes utterly broken and, as he is taken away by the police, he repeatedly mutters "why did he have to be an American, why did could he not speak Japanese, and why she could not speak English" in the manner of a broken Karakuri Doll that had lost everything.</spoiler>

== Remastered version ==
On October 29, 2007, a remastered version of the case was aired. All three episodes were edited and combined into one hour long special, and scenes were edited out to fit the timeslot.

== Case 1: Missing Older Brother Case ==
=== Situation ===
A new girl named [[Ai Haibara]] transfers into [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s [[Teitan Elementary School|class]]. Conan is apathetic, but the rest of the [[Detective Boys]] are excited. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and [[Genta]] notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them she lives at Beika 2-chōme, 22-banchi, which Conan deduces is right near [[Setting#Kudo Residence|his house]], but can't think of any candidate houses or apartments where a Haibara family has lived.

After school, the detective boys check Genta's locker where their detective group cases are received and Genta finds a request in his shoe. [[Ayumi]] tells Haibara to come along with them. The request is from a first grade boy named Toshiya asking the Detective Boys to find his high school aged brother who has been missing for a week. The Detective Boys, along with Toshiya and Haibara, investigate Toshiya's older brother's room. Conan notices the older brother's wallet is still in his drawer which rules out running away from home, and he also discounts kidnapping for extortion because kidnappers would have gone after Toshiya instead. The Detective Boys find the older brother's artwork which are copies of famous paintings. The fidelity is good, but not good enough to be used as forgeries. Conan takes interest in a portrait of Natsume Sōseki which had been in a city exhibition. Toshiya reveals that, before his brother disappeared, a woman in a hat wearing black had an interest in that portrait and approached Toshiya's older brother. Conan panics, thinking that this could be the work of [[Black Organization]]. Haibara observes Conan's sudden attitude change.

The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother without luck. The detective boys stop at a convenience story for drinks and Conan notices that a man wearing a black jacket and hat used a ¥1000 bill to pay for ¥330 cigarettes. Conan thinks that the transaction probably wasn't for change because the man could have also bought the same cigarettes at a vending machine outside faster. Conan grabs the bill from the startled cashier and notices it has no watermark; it's a counterfeit ¥1000.

Conan and the detective boys start following the man in black. The portrait on ¥1000 bills is Natsume Sōseki, so Conan explains that the man's counterfeit may have to do with Toshiya's brother's disappearance. In a fit of oblivious deductive monologue, Conan starts talking about the men in black shrinking his body in front of the detective boys. Conan cuts himself off quickly and says it was a joke, but Haibara took notice anyway. Conan decides to plant a tracker on the man in black. Conan tells the man he dropped a ¥1000 bill which he snatches from Conan without realizing a button transmitter was stuck to the bill. To keep them from danger, Conan ditches the detective boys by telling them he has something to do and they should look for Toshiya's brother tomorrow. Ai watches as Conan runs away...

Now alone, Conan tracks the bill to a vender where the man in black bought a ¥110 can of iced coffee. A janitor testifies that the man used a ¥500 coin to buy a train ticket which left him with at least 3 coins of change. Looking at the ticket prices, Conan deduces the man went to Daitoma station. Once there, Conan begins to question a local broker who may have rented a space big enough to print fake money. The broker then asks Conan if he is with the kids outside; the detective boys, Toshiya, and Haibara have been following Conan. Haibara was the one who predicted Conan might try to continue investigating alone and suggested they follow. Toshiya then describes a quick phone call his missing brother made; he said something about being with people like Sōseki. The broker tells the kids he rented a location by the local police post to a newspaper printing company two years ago and they recently got a new printer. The broker says the lady in charge favors wide brimmed hats. With this, Conan realizes the meaning of the hint that Toshiya's older brother said over the phone.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Natsume Sōseki took his name from the proverb ''Sōseki Chinryu'' - "rinsing one's mouth with a stone and laying one's head on a pillow of flowing water." The proverb describes someone who would act the opposite of the people's expectations; a forgery outfit operating next door to a police post matches.

Conan and the rest of the children go to the local police station where the officers shrugs them off for watching too much TV. Conan then uses [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s voice to call [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] and inform him of the situation. While Conan is making the call, the detective boys decide to infiltrate on their own accord. True to Conan's deduction, Haibara notices different paints that the counterfeiters tested.

Upstairs, the counterfeiters are forcing Toshiya's brother to draw the ¥10,000 bills (Yukichi Fukuzawa). One of the men keeping watch notices the snooping children over the closed circuit television. The older brother exclaims when he sees Toshiya on screen, and the head counterfeiter, the lady with the black hat, decide to come up with a plan. Conan realizes that the children are gone, asks the police where they went, and discovers they went into the hideout without him. Horrified, he chases after them. Elsewhere, [[Gin]] takes a call over the phone from [[Vodka]] about someone who escaped from the Black Organization. Gin orders Vodka to find that person dead or alive.

As Conan enters the building, he is caught at gunpoint by a bulky man. Upstairs, the head of the counterfeiters confronts the children, and plans to kill the children one by one to motivate Toshiya's older brother to work faster.

Just as she is about to shoot Ayumi, Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|shoes]] to knock the gun out of the lady's hand. He reveals that the counterfeiter's original artist had become injured, so they needed a replacement to finish the bills. They saw the older brother's painting of Sōseki and decided to kidnap him in order to finish the bills. Conan takes out the lady's two goons with pots of paint. Before the lady can reach for the gun, Haibara grabs it, takes a Weaver stance, and fires it just over the lady's shoulder, breaking the window behind her.

The sound rouses the police next door and they arrive and are shocked to find that the children were telling the truth after all. They call for back up and apprehend the counterfeiters. As they are hauled off, Conan asks the lead counterfeiter if she is part of a large organization with alcoholic code names. The lady doesn't seem to know what Conan is talking about. Megure reveals that she is the leader of a counterfeit group called the "The silver fox", and he then berates Haibara for firing a gun. Which causes Haibara to break down in tears, Megure seeing this immediately apologizes for being too hard on her.

Conan walks Haibara to her home, while she is still sobbing. On the way, Haibara's demeanor suddenly changes and she reveals to Conan that she's really [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], a former member of the Black Organization and creator of [[APTX 4869]], the drug that shrunk both her and Shinichi. Haibara points out that her home address is actually [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s. Conan starts to call Agasa in a panic and he doesn't pick up. Haibara replies that's because he is not in this world anymore, implying that he’s 'dead'. Conan rushes over to Agasa's and finds the professor is completely well and jovial and that his line was busy because he was surfing the internet.

Conan demands an explanation as to why a member of the Black Organization is staying with Agasa. Agasa explains that she also took APTX 4869 which caused her to shrink into a child. Haibara adds that the professor adopted her after he found her passed out in front of Shinichi's house. She had been part of the Black Organization team that investigated Shinichi's house twice to ensure his death. She noticed Shinichi's childhood clothes went missing between investigations, and thus suspected he de-aged like one of her test mice did. She declared Shinichi deceased anyway because she didn't want the Organization to kill him before she could see him.

Haibara then explains that she betrayed the Organization because she didn't like that they were using her drug on people and because the Organization killed her sister and refused to explain the reason why. Sherry boycotted the drug's development, and was then locked up and scheduled to be executed because of her insubordination. She took an APTX drug that she had secretly pocketed hoping to commit suicide, instead she shrank which allowed her to free herself from the handcuffs, and then escape via laundry chute.

Haibara explains that she went to find Shinichi hoping he would lend her his aid, seeing as he was the only person who would understand her unique situation. However, Conan berates her angered at the fact that she didn’t seem to understand how much pain and suffering her drug had caused to so many innocent people. Agasa calms him down and Conan asks her if she can create an antidote for the drug, and she notes that she would need to go back to her lab. Conan tells her to tell him the location of the lab and he will get the info she needs himself.

However, Haibara states that there is no point she shows them a newspaper article of a building that apparently burst into flames. That building was her lab, The Organization fearful of what she might leak, burned down the building her lab used to be in and began looking for her. Haibara asks if Conan will abandon or help her and he says that he will help her.</spoiler>

== Case 2: Murdered Professor Case ==
=== Situation ===
Haibara explains her story about the drug, her sister's death and her escape. She reveals that she accidentally sent a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization to her older sister... which is now in the possession of her sister's professor, Masami Hirota. They track down Hirota through the university and Agasa posed as a friend of Haibara's sister Akemi Miyano, and Hirota agrees to give them the disk, but first after he has some other visitors.

Agasa takes Conan and Haibara to Hirota's home so they can get the disk, only to realize that Hirota has been murdered. Discovering the voice messages, they discovered the suspects are Hirota's three students who visited that day and the Black Organization. However, they quickly rule out the Black Organization involvement because the crime was too messy to be Black Organization's style.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan reveals the culprit to be '''Akira Shirakura'''; Shirakura after bludgeoning Hirota to death tied the answering machine cassette tape around the key to the room which rewound when a call was made and subsequently bringing the key into the room. The cassette tape was also wrapped around some pawn chess pieces that were placed upside with a notebook on top. Once that was done, he simply called the phone and as the cassette tape was being rewound it knocked the chess pieces causing the notebook to fall on top of the key at the same time. As evidence, Conan reveals that Shirakura's fingerprints should be found on the tape.

Shirakura says that he killed Hirota because he possessed some very embarrassing and compromising photos of himself, which could ruin his career as a model. Additionally, Hirota had mocked him on the phone when he begged him to give him the photos which made his temper flare. Upon hearing Shirakura's motives, Agasa counters saying that he misunderstood Hirota's words - he actually wanted Shirakura to let go of his pride, only that he did so in the wrong way. Shirakura then gives himself up to the police.

Once Shirakura is taken away, Haibara breaks down in tears. She explains the rest of her story, revealing that her sister was Akemi Miyano alias the same ex-Black Organization member who died in Conan's arms. Then she asks Conan why, if he's so good with his deductions, why he couldn’t he have saved her sister, and ends up crying further while holding on a shocked Conan's shirt.

Later that day, Haibara attempts to read the files off the disk only to have a virus delete all the data.

== Episode Resolution ==
<spoiler>'''Summary'''
* [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], real name Shiho Miyano, betrayed the [[Black Organization]] after they refused to justify the circumstances of her sister's death. Shiho was set to be killed for insubordination, so Shiho took the drug she made to commit suicide. It instead de-aged her without the Black Organization's knowing, and she managed to escape. Because of this, Shiho realized that [[Shinichi Kudo]] likely shrank so she went to his house where she ran into [[Agasa]].
* Shiho moves in with Agasa, takes the alias Ai Haibara, and transfers to [[Setting#Teitan Elementary School|Teitan Elementary]].
* Conan discovers that the woman from the [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|billion yen bank robbery]], [[Akemi Miyano]], is Shiho's sister. Viewers also learn that the scientist sister of Akemi's that [[Gin]] said was too valuable to leave the Organization was Shiho.<ref>Manga Volume 2, File 7, Page 12: "A Devil-like Woman"</ref>
* Conan discovers the name of the drug that shrunk him is [[APTX 4869]], and its creator is Sherry.
* Conan discovers the Black Organization searched [[Setting#Kudo Residence|Shinichi's house]] twice to make sure he was dead.
* The disk of APTX 4869 data which also contained real names and funding sources or involved agents is erased by the [[Night Baron|Night Baron Virus]] that had been planted on the disk.
* The Black Organization calls off plans to kill Masami Hirota because he was murdered by someone else first.
* Various members of the Black Organization, including Gin, start hunting for Sherry.</spoiler>

==== The Case ====
Sonoko invites Ran, to attend a meeting full of avid magic fans she met online. After dropping her off at the snowy lodge, Conan and Kogoro return home. During the ride, they hear on the radio that one of the members, Tsutomu Nishiyama, is found dead in his home and that his dying message was the name Dark Master, one of the members of the club.

Conan rushes back to the lodge only to find out the only bridge across is on fire. Fearing for Ran's life, Conan rushes through the bridge before it collapses and arrives at the lodge, though he inhales so much smoke that he passes out once he steps on its gate so Ran and Sonoko have to take care of him. Toshiya Hamano is later found dead ten metres from the lodge.

Conan wonders how the murder was done since no footprint was found in the snow.

==== The Suspicion ====
The members of the lodge decide to leave the Hamano's body untouched to preserve the crime scene and retreat back into the lodge. They discuss among themselves and believe that the club member with the Username Dark Master is the murderer.

Conan, Ran, Kikue Tanaka, and Katsuki Doito head upstairs to retrieve a sweater. While upstairs, an arrow breaks through the window and almost hits them. At the same time, another arrow breaks through the window on the bottom floor. The people of the lodge head outside to investigate and find a crossbow on the ground. The people begin to believe that the culprit is an outsider of the club. Conan investigates and notices that there was evidence that something was stapled to the outside of the house. Conan realizes how the murders are done.

==== The Resolution ====
Conan recreates the crossbow attack on the top floor and lures everyone outside.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Using a tranquilizer, Conan knocks Sonoko out and reveals the culprit to be '''Kikue Tanaka'''. Conan reveals that the crossbow incident was simple, Kikue pulled a string with an object at the end to break the window, and fired a concealed crossbow to create the idea the attack was coming from the outside. She did the same for the bottom window but had the arrow stuck to the mirror prepared beforehand. As for Hamano's murder, Kikue strangled him, and using resilient strings, fired them from the balcony to the forest until there was enough to support Hamano's weight. She then tied a string around Hamano's body and used the positioned string to slide the body downwards. She then tied all the strings into another arrow and fired it off. As evidence, Conan reveals that the arrows were specialized to have string connected to them and that they should be found on Tanaka's body somewhere.

Once all of this is explained, Tanaka confesses to the murder and being "Dark Master" and reveals that the group members online prompted her grandfather, Huden Harui, a famous magician, to attempt a dangerous trick which resulted in his death. While she accepted that the accident was her grandfather own fault, she couldn't forgive the comments from both Nishiyama and Hamano about his failure. Conan meanwhile confronts Katsuki Doito and reveals that his name is the anagram for Kaitou Kid. Kaitou Kid reveals that he saw that someone was on the magician's account and wanted to investigate it, and escapes the lounge with the use of his hang glider.

{{EndBox}}</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* In this episode, Kaito says to Conan, "Before the Bell announcing the century's end rings..." just as he flew off in his hang glider, which may have something to do with this case being originally aired in January to February of the year 1999 and that his next appearance is in [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Kudo Shinichi vs. Kaitou Kid]], which aired in 2001. The bell could have also been a reference to the next case Kid appears in, as it is about the [[Clock Tower (Black Star)|Clock Tower]] heist.
* When Sonoko says her favourite magician is Kaitou Kid, every other magic club member disagrees that he should deserve respect, as he is a thief, except for Doito, who aknowledges his fame, a hint towards his real identity.
* The Nagano Prefecture snow mountains painting in Ara lodge is from [[Ski Lodge Murder Case#Trivia|Ski Lodge Murder Case]]. The beginning snow scene reappears in a painting in Yokosuka Castle from from [[The Last Wizard of the Century]] and in Tenbu Station from [[The Entrance to the Maze: The Anger of the Colossus#Trivia|The Entrance to the Maze: The Anger of the Colossus]].

=== Situation ===
[[Miwako Sato]] reminisces about the bomber case three years ago in which a bomber sent a fax to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police containing the location of a bomb in the form of a riddle. [[Jinpei Matsuda]] deduced the bomb's location and realizes that the bomb contains a clue to an even larger bomb and that the clue is only revealed during the last three seconds before detonation; Matsuda sacrifices his life and allowed the police to locate the second bomb. In the present time, the bomber returns and sends a fax to the Police station.

The [[Detective Boys]], along with [[Wataru Takagi]] and Sato, attempt to decrypt the riddle and locate the bomb. The riddle reads: "I'm a fast pitching, hard-hitting major leaguer. Now the extra innings have begun. The games begin at noon tomorrow and end at 3 PM. Even if you prepare a good stopper, it won't help you. I'll turn it around in the end. If you want to end the game, come find me. When you police bastards climb the bloodstained mound, I'll be waiting in the steel batter's box."

Sato begins explaining the details of the previous bombing case to Conan. In the incident three years ago, two bombers blackmailed the police for 1 billion yen using time bombs planted in apartment buildings. The money was paid and the timers were stopped; however, they later received a phone call from one of the bombers who heard a misleading news flash via a radio and thought that the bomb was still on. The police decided to use the opportunity to capture one of the bombers, but an unfortunate accident caused the man's death. His partner, who managed to escape and witnessed his death, believed that the police had aired false information on the news on purpose to lure them into a trap. Enraged, the bomber vowed to take revenge on the police to avenge the death of his accomplice and friend and has finally returned to do so.

An explosion occurs at Tokyo Tower and a girl becomes stranded in an elevator. Takagi and Conan free her but become trapped in the elevator themselves due to a second explosion. [[Conan Edogawa]] finds a bomb in the elevator and begins to disarm it until a message appears revealing that a clue to a second bomb will appear in the last three seconds before detonation.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
[[File:EP304 Bomber.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The bomber's face revealed.]]
The content from the riddle indicates the bombing will occur in a school. Conan manages to decipher the code and disarms the bomb with one second remaining and reveals that the code refers to the English word "Detective" and when read backwards in its kanji form says Teitan, the name of the school. The bomb at Teitan High is disarmed and the bomber is captured.

When the bomber tries to set it off, Megure appears behind him with dozens of officers holding the cellphone that was to be the detonator revealing that they had secretly disarmed all of his bombs. Cornered he attempts to escape by jumping off the bridge onto a passing car below, however a visibly emotional and angry Sato chases him and corners him, attempting to take revenge for killing Matsuda.

}}

Takagi comes just in time to prevent Sato from doing so and brings her back to her senses. Sato says that she just wants to forget all the pain and the memories she shared with Matsuda, but Takagi says she cannot because if she does he will truly be dead. As they attempt to kiss, Megure interrupts them and the case ends with the bomber being arrested.

In the incident seven years ago, he only committed the crime with his colleague to steal money and had actually promised in secret to not kill any victims. However, after his colleague heard an old news report on the radio, he tried to get in touch with the police, believing that the bomb had not been stopped. The police took advantage of his call to track him down, leading to his death when he attempted to escape.

The other bomber believed the police had purposefully made that false announcement to take advantage of his accomplice's moral conscience that inadvertently caused him to die in a car accident. The other bomber vowed total vengeance against the Japanese police department and with these new serial bombing attacks threatened to ruin their reputation, slowly losing his sanity in the process.

In the epilogue, Conan, Agasa, and Haibara are discussing what Conan did at the last minute and how was able to disarm the bomb at the last second. Conan reveals that he had the tools nearby just in case, because he had intended to the solve the riddle before the timer ran out. He also states that he had planned to completely disarm the bomb from the beginning, after all he couldn't let Takagi die.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* In the manga version, not much is known about the bombing case that happened 7 years ago. Kenji Hagiwara also doesn't receive any specific character design like he does in the anime version, as he is only mentioned by name.
* In the manga, Sato recalled Matsuda when she saw the date on her phone while checking the crime scene of [[Parade of Malice and Saint|the previous case]] with the Detective Boys. In the anime, she recalls Matsuda when she see Haido Shopping Mall ferris wheel, while the Detective Boys are riding on it. After they finish riding, they see Sato and approach her.
* In the manga, the bombing happened on November 7 according to Matsuda's message. The anime change the date to January 6, the same as the airdate of the episode.
:* However, there is an error in the scene when Sato want to delete the message, where the date displayed is November 7. The date was fixed in remastered version.
* In the manga, Takagi doesn't slap Sato to calm her down when she tries to shoot the bomber.

== Trivia ==
* Gosho Aoyama, in an interview, indicated this was one of his favorite case.
* The bomber's car is a white 1992 Toyota Corolla Van DX [E100]. His watch brand is SEKO, an allusion to the famous brand SEIKO.
* Ran's cellphone was stepped on and broken by one of her kidnappers in [[The Smash of Determination and Love#Trivia|The Smash of Determination and Love]], but Shinichi gives her a new one in the beginning.
* The picture on Ran's new cellphone is the picture of her sleeping that Conan took of her in [[The Truth Behind Valentine's]] case, and sent it to her with his own cell phone, using Shinichi's voice. He also called himself "Detective Kid" in her message, and that picture does retain the words "Detective Kid" from the prior case.
* Although Conan had been shown knowing how do disarm some bombs, this is the first canon proof that he knows how to disarm some of them, and he is at least a step ahead of those directing him on how to disarm it, as well.
* The delivery truck which killed the culprit's accomplice is "Haido Unsou"'s from [[The Coffee Shop Truck's Wild Entrance Case#Trivia|The Coffee Shop Truck's Wild Entrance Case]].
* The bus at the ending is the same from [[The Mysterious Passenger]].

== Rerun ==
The episode was rerun on October 4, 2004. It was unchanged except for the addition of a new scene at the beginning.

=== Situation ===
The Detective Boys are on their way home (presumably after school), and, when they pass through the bottom of a building, they discover two S-Hooks and a wedding ring engraved with the initials M to A. They believe that this combination of items is an S.O.S. message, and therefore decide to investigate the building and its residents.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>After an investigation, Conan realizes that the letters on the ring "M to A" stand for "Misato to Akihiko", and therefore is a ring bought by a wife and gifted to her husband. He goes to their apartment, and since the woman opening the door and claiming to be Misato mistakenly thinks that it is a ring given to the wife by the husband, Conan deduces that she must be the kidnapper. The real name of the kidnapper is later revealed to be '''Ikuyo Hasegawa'''.

Hasegawa attempts to drug Conan, but Conan puts her to sleep with his tranquillizer. He then rescues the real Misato, and soon the police arrives to arrest Hasegawa. She reveals that Akihiko (i.e. Misato's husband) was a colleague of hers, and that after finding out that she was embezzling huge amounts of money from the company, he reported this to the company. This got Hasegawa fired, and she has since been planning to take revenge and murder him. This is why she went to Akihiko's apartment; however, it was Misato who opened the door. So Hasegawa had no choice but drug her, hide her in the storage room and wait for Akihiko to return home.

With the case solved, the Detective Boys can now go home. Since they think that Conan stole the spotlight of the case for himself, as punishment, they forced Conan to carry all their bags. Conan thought that Haibara would help him out, but she handed her bag to Conan as well. </spoiler>

=== Situation ===
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are invited to attend the opening ceremony of a ropeway which is built through a giant [[Wikipedia: Tennin|Goddess]]' statue on the Fuji mountains, Shizuoka Prefecture, by a certain Eizo Domoto's company. On the way there, they learn from Shizuka Kamiyama, a nun in a local temple and a very vocal opponent to the ropeway project, that everyone angering or disrespecting the goddess through the centuries has paid an enormous price, and that Eizo's company will not be an exception. Her words are not taken with complete seriousness, but during the ride through the ropeway right after the opening ceremony, Domoto disappears from the ropeway cart, and is later found dead on the goddess' hand.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan realizes the trick for this seemingly impossible crime after being inspired by the words of various people during the investigation of the case and by checking the incinerator of the hut (which provided a resting place to the workers during the construction of the ropeway) near the statue. There, he finds a fake hand, which allows him to confirm his suspicions and deduce that '''Ayaka Yoshino''' was the murderer. It turns out that what the people in the cart saw in the goddess' hands after leaving the tunnel is just Domoto's doll with a fake knife and stab wound on it. This will trick the reporters from Tokainippo newspaper, who have been harsh critics of the ropeway project, to think that Eizo is dead. Since this is breaking news, they will immediately have this published on the newspaper, making a retraction impossible. In reality, however, Eizo is still inside the cart; it is just that he has gotten into the space below the passenger seats (with the help of his son Yasunori). He stays there until the cart passes the tunnel again as it goes downhill; he jumps out of the cart from there, and uses the passage between the tunnel and the viewing platform right beside the goddess' hand to reach the goddess. He then throws away the doll, climbs onto her hand, and plans to greatly surprise everyone else on board when they rush to the platform to check on him. Eizo believes that this will serve two purposes: one, to prove that the rumour about the goddess' curse is pure fiction and two, to humiliate and make the public distrust the Tokainippo newspaper for having made a blunder in their reporting. Yoshino, as the secretary of Yasunori, was easily able to learn about the plan, and she decides uses the plan against Eizo. Namely, as the cart reaches the apex of the mount and everyone rushes downhill to check on Eizo, she will wait for them to be gone and slip into the next cart going downhill to kill Eizo and burn the doll in the incinerator of the hut. This plan goes forward quite successfully, but the incinerator fails to burn the whole doll, and, in addition to that, a bead on her brooch drops onto the unburnt palm of the unburnt hand and is preserved.

Knowing that Conan possesses definitive evidence, Yoshino admits to murdering Eizo. She then reveals that her motive is to avenge her mother and older brother. A year ago, her older brother Takahata, who was a construction worker hired by Eizo's company, died in an accident. Although Eizo was not directly involved or responsible, he did order the workers to complete the ropeway in an unreasonably short amount of time, and tried to cover up the accident by using money to make their mother stay silent. Takahata's death took an enormous toll on the old woman, and she soon passed away. While in her deathbed, she summoned Yoshino to tell her about the truth about Takahata's death and her hatred for Eizo's company, and right at this moment, Yoshino's fate of revenge is sealed.

=== Situation ===
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are invited to attend the opening ceremony of a ropeway which is built through a giant [[Wikipedia: Tennin|Goddess]]' statue on the Fuji mountains, Shizuoka Prefecture, by a certain Eizo Domoto's company. On the way there, they learn from Shizuka Kamiyama, a nun in a local temple and a very vocal opponent to the ropeway project, that everyone angering or disrespecting the goddess through the centuries has paid an enormous price, and that Eizo's company will not be an exception. Her words are not taken with complete seriousness, but during the ride through the ropeway right after the opening ceremony, Domoto disappears from the ropeway cart, and is later found dead on the goddess' hand.

By the time that the cart is out of the tunnel, Eizo has disappeared from the tunnel, and is seen on the goddess's hand, apparently dead. Is the the punishment from the goddess herself like what Shizuka Kamiyama said?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan realizes the trick for this seemingly impossible crime after being inspired by the words of various people during the investigation of the case and by checking the incinerator of the hut (which provided a resting place to the workers during the construction of the ropeway) near the statue. There, he finds a fake hand, which allows him to confirm his suspicions and deduce that '''Ayaka Yoshino''' was the murderer. It turns out that what the people in the cart saw in the goddess' hands after leaving the tunnel is just Domoto's doll with a fake knife and stab wound on it. This will trick the reporters from Tokainippo newspaper, who have been harsh critics of the ropeway project, to think that Eizo is dead. Since this is breaking news, they will immediately have this published on the newspaper, making a retraction impossible. In reality, however, Eizo is still inside the cart; it is just that he has gotten into the space below the passenger seats (with the help of his son Yasunori). He stays there until the cart passes the tunnel again as it goes downhill; he jumps out of the cart from there, and uses the passage between the tunnel and the viewing platform right beside the goddess' hand to reach the goddess. He then throws away the doll, climbs onto her hand, and plans to greatly surprise everyone else on board when they rush to the platform to check on him. Eizo believes that this will serve two purposes: one, to prove that the rumour about the goddess' curse is pure fiction and two, to humiliate and make the public distrust the Tokainippo newspaper for having made a blunder in their reporting. Yoshino, as the secretary of Yasunori, was easily able to learn about the plan, and she decides uses the plan against Eizo. Namely, as the cart reaches the apex of the mount and everyone rushes downhill to check on Eizo, she will wait for them to be gone and slip into the next cart going downhill to kill Eizo and burn the doll in the incinerator of the hut. This plan goes forward quite successfully, but the incinerator fails to burn the whole doll, and, in addition to that, a bead on her brooch drops onto the unburnt palm of the unburnt hand and is preserved.

Knowing that Conan possesses definitive evidence, Yoshino admits to murdering Eizo. She then reveals that her motive is to avenge her mother and older brother. A year ago, her older brother Takahata, who was a construction worker hired by Eizo's company, died in an accident. Although Eizo was not directly involved or responsible, he did order the workers to complete the ropeway in an unreasonably short amount of time, and tried to cover up the accident by using money to make their mother stay silent. Takahata's death took an enormous toll on the old woman, and she soon passed away. While in her deathbed, she summoned Yoshino to tell her about the truth about Takahata's death and her hatred for Eizo's company, and right at this moment, Yoshino's fate of revenge is sealed.

=== Situation ===
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are invited to attend the opening ceremony of a ropeway which is built through a giant [[Wikipedia: Tennin|Goddess]]' statue on the Fuji mountains, Shizuoka Prefecture, by a certain Eizo Domoto's company. On the way there, they learn from Shizuka Kamiyama, a nun in a local temple and a very vocal opponent to the ropeway project, that everyone angering or disrespecting the goddess through the centuries has paid an enormous price, and that Domoto's company will not be an exception. Her words are not taken with complete seriousness, but during the ride through the ropeway right after the opening ceremony, Domoto disappears from the ropeway cart, and is later found dead on the goddess' hand.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan realizes the trick for this seemingly impossible crime after being inspired by the words of various people during the investigation of the case and by checking the incinerator of the hut (which provided a resting place to the workers during the construction of the ropeway) near the statue. There, he finds the evidence that allows him to confirm the trick and deduce that '''Ayaka Yoshino''' was the murderer. It turns out that what the people in the cart saw in the goddess' hands after leaving the tunnel is just Domoto's doll with a fake knife and stab wound on it. This will trick the reporters from Tokainippo newspaper, who have also been harsh critics of the ropeway project, to think that Eizo is dead. Since this is breaking news, they will immediately have this published on the newspaper, making a retraction impossible. In reality, however, Eizo is still inside the cart; it is just that he has hid into the space below the passenger seats (with the help of his son Yasunori). He stays there until the cart passes the tunnel again as it goes downhill; then, he can use the passage between the tunnel and the viewing platform right beside the goddess' hand to reach the goddess. He will then throw away the doll, climb onto her hand, and greatly surprise everyone else on board, thus proving that the rumour about the goddess' curse is pure fiction and humiliating the reporters and their newspaper. Yoshino, as the secretary of Yasunori, was easily able to learn about the plan, and then uses the plan against Eizo. Namely, as the cart reaches the apex of the mount and everyone rushes downhill to check on Eizo, she will wait for them to be gone and slip into the next cart in order to kill Eizo and burn the doll in the incinerator of the hut.

used Domoto's trick against the news reporters against him. After completing his disappearing trick, he would've disproved of the curse by ruining the newspaper's reputation, but was stabbed. Then, she burned the doll in a furnace.

Ayaka reveals that in her opinion, Eizo Domoto was responsible for the death of her older brother, since he forced his workers to complete the ropeway in a unreasonably short amount of time and tried to cover up the accident by using money to make Takahata and Ayaka's mother stay silent. Her son's death took an enormous toll on the old woman, and she soon passed away. While in her deathbed, she summoned Ayaka to tell her the truth about her son's death, and this made Ayaka determined to join Domoto's company in order to avenge her mother and brother.

'''{{nihongo|Jugo Yokomizo|横溝重悟|Yokomizo Jūgo}}''', often referred to as the same name as his twin brother, '''Inspector Yokomizo''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jugo is the younger twin brother of [[Sango Yokomizo]], who is also an inspector from Kanagawa police district. Both started their police career in Saitama, but some time later, Sango transferred to the Shizuoka district. However, they do stay in touch and have even assisted each other in various (and even locally unrelated) cases.

As children, Sango and Jugo would often play with other kids near the beach. Both brothers were actually afraid of swimming in the ocean, but while Jugo would go near the water, Sango was so scared that he would never even leave the boat.<ref name=Ikkaku>[[Ikkaku Rock's Disappearing Fish|Episode 542: Ikkaku Rock's Disappearing Fish, Part 1]]</ref> Thus, Sango, even as an adult, does not know how to swim.<ref name=Net>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref>

== Personality ==
Unlike his brother Sango, Jugo is serious, stern, less easygoing, and more impatient. Jugo is considered an adept inspector, but because of his habitual sinister stare, he appears even more intimidating than his brother. As a result, he is not very popular with many people outside the force, especially if they can compare him with his brother.

In addition, Jugo is, unlike his brother, very critical of [[Kogoro Mouri]], whom he nicknames {{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|''Kemuri no Kogorō''}} because of his heavy smoking habits, instead of by his more common nickname {{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|''Nemuri no Kogorō''}}. He is also not a big fan of [[Conan Edogawa]] and the [[Detective Boys]], often yelling at them and telling them to stay away from an investigation; as a result, they believe that Sango is the nicer of the two brothers and the only one able to smile, and Haibara declares that even if they have a similar appearance, their ways of speaking and personalities are different<ref>[[Clam Digging With a Sigh|Episode 443: Clam Digging With a Sigh]]</ref>. However, when they do get through to him, Jugo always readily listens and considers their opinions. He is also quite capable in his own right, skeptical about suspects' alibis, and quick to spot obvious discrepancies in a case; he has shown to be able to resolve intricate cases while only relying on a few hints from Conan.<ref name=Ikkaku/>

He also seems to have a strong sense of moral. In a case, the murderer mocks his girlfriend about how he was only going out with her to use her as a scapegoat for his murder, Jugo hit him in the face with his elbow and told him that if he continued he might need to 'stretch' his leg (hinting that there would be more beating).<ref>Episode 741</ref>

He is also a competent officer in the heat of action, ready to threaten his own life without hesitation to protect the safety of a civilian<ref>[[Movie 10|Movie 10: Requiem of the Detectives]]</ref>.

== Plot overview ==
=== Chinatown Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 34#Chinatown Murder Case|348-350]], Anime: [[Chinatown Deja Vu in the Rain|284-286]]) ===
Jugo is called to investigate the murder case at the Chinese restaurant. Thanks to his resemblence to his brother, Kogoro initially thinks that they are the same person (and that Sango has changed his hairstyle); Jugo clears the misunderstanding by telling Kogoro coldly that he has a twin brother.

=== Poisoned Fisherman Case (Manga: [[Volume 45#Poisoned Fisherman Case|461-462]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Pier in Plain Sight|366-367]]) ===

=== Butsumetsu Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 48#Butsumetsu Murder Case|497-498]], Anime: [[The Evil Spirit Appears on An Unlucky Day|417]]) ===
Jugo is asked by his brother to help out in a case involving twins. Although Jugo does not seem to be very eager about this, he still agrees to help.

=== Seashell Hunt Case (Manga: [[Volume 51#Seashell Hunt Case|526-527]], Anime: [[Clam Digging With a Sigh|443-444]]) ===
Jugo is called to investigate the death of a man who seems to have drunk poison in his car. He first shows some doubts, but then concludes that it was a suicide; however, once hinted by Conan, he discloses the culprit's name and stratagem. This case is his first encounter with the Detective Boys.

=== Ikkaku Rock Case (Manga: [[Volume 64#Ikkaku Rock Case|665-666]], Anime: [[Ikkaku Rock's Disappearing Fish|542-543]]) ===
This is Jugo's second encounter with the Detective Boys. Despite being able to make some valid deductions, he is unable to understand the dying message, and so at the end it is still Conan who solves the case.

=== Onsen Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 69#Onsen Murder Case|723-724]], Anime: [[The Scenario of the Steaming Locked Room|597-598]]) ===

=== Steamy Relations (Manga: [[Volume 81#Steamy Relations|857-858]], Anime: [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|740-741]]) ===
Again, Jugo is not able to solve the case on his own. His most notable action in this case is hitting the murderer with his elbow as the murderer talks unremorsefully about him having broken the heart of countless girls, manipulating his current girlfriend (whom he does not love at all) etc.

=== Marriage Partner Searching Party Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Marriage Partner Searching Party Murder Case|1085-1087]], Anime: TPD) ===

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== The Private Eyes' Requiem (Movie: [[The Private Eyes' Requiem|10]]) ===
Although being part of the Investigation department, Jugo is sent to secure an art museum apparently targeted by Kaitou Kid. Later in the movie, he puts his life in danger in order to protect a kid threatened by a bomb, getting injured in the process.

=== Raven Chaser (Movie: [[The Raven Chaser|13]]) ===
Jugo is called to the police conference for the serial murder case. He is reluctant about calling in Kogoro to help the police and letting his brother follow him in his aberrant strategies.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Sango Yokomizo ===
[[Sango Yokomizo|Sango]] and Jugo are twin brothers. They seem to be in good relations, but Jugo disapproves of the way that Sango tends to admire every of Kogoro's theories. He sometimes prevents him from going to ridiculous lengths of following him. He is however willing to give a hand to his brother's investigation.<ref>[[Movie 13|Movie 13: The Raven Chaser]]</ref>.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
Unlike his twin brother, Jugo is not fond of Kogoro Mouri. He nicknames the detective "Smoking Kogoro" due to his heavy smoking habit.

=== Chihaya Hagiwara ===
Jugo is her superior and he got angry at her for what she did. But she doesn't seems to afraid Jugo. Jugo said he will report something other than truth and blushed and Chihaya said Of course, Love you, Jugo. From what Chihaya said Jugo asked her to go to dinner with him.

=== Conan Edogawa and the Detective Boys ===

=== Chihaya Hagiwara ===

=== Shinobu Ooe ===

== Name origin ==
Jugo's name comes from TV Drama [[wikipedia:ja:はぐれ刑事純情派|Stray Detective Pure-Hearted Group]] character {{nihongo|Shigetada Yokomizo|横溝重忠|''Yokomizo Shigetada''}}. His twin Sango's given name combines with his to make a numerical pun: {{nihongo|three|三|san}} times {{nihongo|five|五|go}} makes {{nihongo|fifteen|十五|jūgo}}.

{{ref anime|263|The Osaka Double Mystery - The Naniwa Swordsman and Toyotomi's Castle}}

==== File 318 - The Ruler's Treasure ====

The shopkeeper actually has Kazuha's wallet and the latter is overjoyed. She says there are plenty of charms in it in order to bring good luck around her, yet she adds it doesn't always work as the shopkeeper comments on a murder which has just occurred near the store. Otaki and the police arrive and Kogoro has some empathy for the inspector who has to solve two murders in two days. Kogoro says he quickly found the identity of the victim since the latter wore the paulownia flower badge emblem of Hideyoshi, then it's Yuji Kato, who plays Hideyoshi in the game trip. The four other participants introduce themselves to Otaki and confirm Kato's death, and explain Otaki the game. Kato had been missing and they all went and looked for him, hoping to find him very quickly as he wore a big and very noticeable red woolen jumper. They never expected him to die, and don't know at all the reason why Kato committed suicide by setting himself alight. Otaki asks why Kogoro thinks Kato killed himself, and he answers that Kato deliberately put on such a flammable jumper, and climbed up the roof, despite heavy rain, in order to commit suicide in a rather spectacular way.

Meanwhile, Heiji ties a rope around Conan and cranes him down over the roof, in order to hold him since the roof is dangerous and slippery. Conan investigates the place where Kato started to burn, and notices some small charred remains, along with a lighter, and under the lighter he notes there is a kind of cone-shaped mark. The four participants discuss Kato's death, and Katagiri says none can really know what one truly hides in their deeper self, and Kasuya adds Kato chose to die as a war hero on the Osaka Castle. Heiji shows Kato's lighter to Otaki, but refuses to believe the suicide theory : when someone sets themselves on fire, they don't usually take the time to close their lighter and put it leisurely over the roof. It's very likely that the lighter could have closed itself when falling from Kato's hand on the roof, but then why is it on the flat part of the roof, why didn't it slide along the curved part, and then fell down somewhere on the roof or on the ground ? Moreover, something cylindrical had been placed on the flat part of the roof before it started raining, and then someone removed that item, and put the lighter instead, explaing the cone-shaped mark. This item certainly has to do with the small charred remains over the roof.

The forensics show Otaki Kato's burned belongings, among which a small piece of burned earthenware, and a burned scroll. When Otaki says the ideogram "dragon" is featured on the top right corner of the scroll, the four participants suddenly get tense. Kazuha says the piece of earthenware maybe has to do with the similar ones found on corpses that were discovered at Osaka Castle recently and thirteen years ago, both completely burned. She goes on telling Heiji about the conversation she heard in the car yesterday, explaining the 848, the location of the bodies, and so on. As she tells about "the treasure of the mortals", the other participants listen carefully and with a certain excitement. Conan tells Heiji the inner part of the earthenware has shiny sparkles, which might be gold, but doesn't seem to be very worthy. Both detectives try to think more deeply about the case, and are reminded of Kato's dying message with the umbrella. They reflect on the link between umbrella/rain and Osaka Castle. Heiji says Osaka Castle's Sakura Gate has a stone called Tako on its left and right, and there is also a wall protecting its central tower, with a stone called Ryuko. And just like the Tako stone, the Ryuko stone, when it's raining, shows a kind of mirage where it's possible to make out a tiger and dragon.

Conan and Heiji suddenly realise something then, and snatch the scroll from Otaki's hands to wet it under the rain : their idea turns out to be the right one as the water discloses a hidden message on the scroll : a kind of double-circle item and its measurements (with old medieval units) on the left, and an illegible message on the right. Conan and Heiji believe there is indeed a hidden treasure somewhere in the castle, which greatly arouses Fukushima's curiosity, while Wakisaka is examining a piece of earthenware he seems to own, and Kasuya calls someone to which he says they should wait a moment and stay where they are for now, as the police seems to still have a long way to go. He adds they shouldn't worry as the item in question is close to hand, therefore no need to change their plans. Katagiri, as to her, mysteriously smirks at the whole situation.

==== File 319 - Back to the Past... ====

Heiji and Conan found out part of the truth about the treasure, and Heiji reveals that the pieces of earthenware found on the three victims, and that contain gold, are actually made of sand mixed with gold. He adds that rainwater actually disclosed the truth about the scroll : it was composed of several sheets stuck together one over the other, and only wetting it could enable the true scriptures to appear. Heiji says it's just like the Tako or Ryuko stones : when rainwater comes in contact with them, some dragon and tiger shapes come out, due to wetting. Though, Otaki says most of the scroll's instructions went into ashes. And Kogoro doesn't get the meaning of the double-circle shape on the scroll, and Ran and Kazuha say it might be a flask, an item which is representative of Hideyoshi's notorious alcoholism. Therefore, the piece of earthenware may be a flask's, in which gold dust would have been stored. As Kogoro says that, according to the measurements, the flask is quite small (30 centimetres), which makes for a rather tiny treasure, Heiji underlines that, indeed, a single flask of gold dust would not be enough, but what about that legend according to which Hideyoshi would, after each victory, tie a little flask to his spear, and it is said that his spear was considered as the symbol of his riches, since it would then carry not less than 1000 flasks each filled with gold dust, the "Bunch of the 1000 Flasks", which would resemble his paulownia emblem, with a huge flask on the top, the tiny others below, and several ribbons fluttering in the wind. If the scroll leads to the 1000 flasks Hideyoshi could have hidden in his castle after his death, then that really makes for a colossal wealth, not forgetting the added value of 500-year-old famous golden items.

Heiji supposes that, given three people were killed in the same way, each having a piece of flask in his pocket, and probably looking for the treasure, especially since Kato had a scroll, this means someone close to them and mad about Hideyoshi and his treasure could have killed them, in order to be the sole owner of the treasure, and, saying so, Heiji casts a suspect glance at the participants. Kazuha adds her father and Heiji's figured out the truth even without the scroll since one of the fragments Toyama had with him and had found on one of the first corpses had the shape of a jar opening, and moreover the 848 number could lead to the flask being the 848th out of the 1000. If they found gold dust inside, then it's perfectly normal they came up to that conclusion. This can't only be a myth then, since it is said Hideyoshi had poured a great quantity of gold dust into his castle's wells in order to purify the water, and Ieyasu would shudder at imagining his rival's enormous riches. Hideyoshi though made the whereabouts of his treasure secret as he concealed the clues that could lead to it : sticking the sheets of the scroll together, mixing gold dust with sand inside the flasks, etc.

Toyama comes along and interrupts Heiji to add that the dragon scroll inevitably refers to the tiger's one, since just like both Tako and Ryuko stones show a dragon and a tiger, there are actually two scrolls, one for the dragon to show part of the clue to the treasure, and one for the tiger to show the other part, and it's necessary to wet the tiger's one just as well to figure out the truth. Kazuha says she's the one who called her dad, as the Prefectural Police is very close, and she wants her father to investigate the case for Heiji to leave the crime scene at last, and come with her and the others to have a bite to eat. Besides, Toyama knows more about the previous similar cases than Heiji does. The latter starts yelling at Kazuha just like usual, but quickly stops as Toyama coldly glowers at him, and rather suggests she should go and wait for him there. Kazuha then leaves in anger, but turns around discreetly to cast a glance at Heiji and behold, with a certain loving interest, her friend's deep and passionate concentration on the case. The game participants ask if they can do the same, and then come back, as they haven't eaten a single thing since noon, and they want to change clothes due to rain. Otaki agrees to let them go as their hotel is near, but orders them to come back to the Castle as quick as possible once they're done. Toyama suddenly turns around as he recognises a voice he heard a long time ago, and which has to do with a bloody crime scene with banknotes all over. Toyama then gives Otaki a secret order and the latter complies and goes away, while Toyama gives a phone call to Heizo.

At the noodles restaurant close to the castle, Ran has Kazuha own up to having actually called her father to increase Heiji's interest in the case, and having the pleasure then to behold his lovely face when he's overfond of something. Ran says Kazuha's just as stupid as she is, since Ran also loves seeing Shinichi's passionate face during cases, though it gets on her nerves somehow. Ran realises Conan is not with them and probably remained at the castle. That same Conan finds a burned battery near the place where Kato had fallen, and he and Heiji realise Kato's death is actually not a suicide but a well-performed murder. Ran and Kazuha quickly leave the restaurant after eating since Ran is worried about Conan, and Kazuha tries to comfort her saying police agents are everywhere due to the recent crime, and he's not in danger, and no murders can occur any longer. Though, they notice in front of her Maho Katagiri who sets herself alight with a lighter and throws herself into the river. Ran and Kazuha rush to the bridge's guardrail and see her burning corpse in the river, and they start screaming and calling the police. Suddenly, they spot someone spying on them from behind, but the person runs away.

Katagiri's body is fished out, half-burned, and Otaki notices she actually died of a blunt force trauma, probably when her head violently hit one of the bridge's pillars when she jumped, leading them to believe she indeed committed suicide. However, Heiji harshly questions Kazuha, saying it's impossible she killed herself, and that the runaway person they saw must be the one who killed her from far, using a kind of trick. The girls though deny it as impossible. Heiji gets infuriated and starts searching the victim's corpse, despite this being strictly forbidden, and suddenly Heizo grabs him by the collar and punches him violently in the face.

==== File 320 - Naniwa Kanjinchō ====

Heiji doesn't get why his father punched him, and the latter answers his son is completely unable to keep a cool head, instead just annoying police, he's nothing but a vain sprog thinking he's a great detective but actually just destroying paramount exhibits by searching a corpse in such a disrespectful way. Heizo then tells his son to clear off, as the police will try to prevent the murders Heiji was unable just to foresee. As Otaki tries to step in, Toyama holds him back, asking him if he did follow his orders to have a certain person shadowed by his men. Hearing that, Otaki figures out why Heizo acted that way with Heiji : in order to protect his son. Otaki tells Heizo about the murders, adding that the forensics actually found nothing but Kato's fingerprints on his lighter. He underlines there's no point thinking about anything else but suicide, unless they find any other elements. Heizo orders him to leave a couple of agents dealing with the case, and tells the other ones, including himself, Toyama and Otaki, to leave the place since police have more serious cases to investigate than such base ones. Otaki stands flabbergasted while Toyama can't believe Heizo really "has the intention to do it". Meanwhile, a mysterious suspect is glaring at the police officers from among the crowd.

Otaki tries to convince Heiji to stop sulking and being so sad, since his father did it "just because he's infuriated at the fact two people were killed near the police headquarters". While Kogoro says this is not a reason to punch him in the face, Kazuha says maybe Heizo did it due to what she heard in the car, the fact that the murderer could be that serial bank robber who started to operate just after the first discovery of the burned out body thirteen years ago. Those 5 bank heists were responsible for the death of not less than seven people, and the robber and his dangerous gang are still walking free. Kogoro understands and pokes fun at the situation of a caring father going as far as beating up his son in order to protect him from a case which is even more dangerous than he thinks. Heiji gets up and says he would almost cry about this situation too, actually cry about his father's utter stupidity, since hitting him made him even more eager to looking for the true murderer, and he adds he's not as understanding as Minamoto no Yoshitsune in the ''Kanjinchō''.

Conan thinks about it, and wonders why Heizo beat up his son, knowing this would prompt him even more to disobey. Heiji says Katagiri didn't commit suicide, and asks Otaki to have a look at Katagiri's coat's right side, where they spot three strange but similar small blood marks. This probably means Katagiri was bashed by her attacker, and her blood splashed on the latter, who left three blood marks of "something" from his clothes on Katagiri's coat while carrying her body. This also means she was probably already dead when Kazuha and Ran saw her, though the girls deny it absolutely, since she was moving as if she suffered from fire. Anyway, Heiji says the three participants are the most suspicious ones since two victims out of the four were from their own tour group, and Heiji and Otaki question them as they arrive at the Gokuraku Bridge, wondering what's happened. Fukushima wonders why she committed suicide, and Otaki says suicide is just a possibility. Kasuya declares he went to have a snack in a close-by bar, while Wakisaka did the same but not at the same place, and Fukushima went back to Nanayari Hotel to change clothes and come back right after. He was with Katagiri but underlines he would have stayed with her if he had known what was about to occur. As Kogoro hears the girls say Kato and Katagiri might have been "ordered" to kill themselves, he turns to Wakisaka, saying that "Nobunaga" could have ordered them to die...

Kasuya steps in, saying Fukushima could have used Mitsuhide's three minutes to switch roles with any of the other characters and order something just as well. Kasuya also emphasizes that, being Ieyasu, he can't have ordered such a thing. Though, Wakisaka and Fukushima believe it impossible that someone just kill themselves on orders from anybody. What's more, Katagiri had the role of an observer, and then she would have certainly been more suspicious than usual, and it's just unlikely to think they kept on playing the game even though one of them had died before their eyes. The forensics tell Otaki they've found another fragment on Katagiri, along with a photograph showing five people standing around the dragon's scroll, including younger Kato and Katagiri, implying they know each other. None seems to know who are the three other people on the picture except the younger Hirano, the trip's planner, who was supposed to come with them but had a last-minute hitch which had him postpone his coming. The three participants say Hirano should be the first one to be questioned if the serial killer has a connection with the trip, and they tell Otaki the name of Hirano's website, before going back to their hotel.

Conan believes the person Kazuha and Ran saw on the bridge has to be the murderer, though he still can't figure out how Katagiri was killed since the girls saw her suffering from fire before leaping into the void. Both detective boys deduce the culprit left blood zipper marks on Katagiri, yet all three participants wear clothes with zippers, and Conan wonders what could be the reason why the murderer changed clothes before and after his deed. And eventually, he and Heiji find out something interesting. The wind then starts to pick up and Ran's umbrella flies away in the air, and at last the detectives understand their mistakes and discover the whole truth. Kazuha tells Otaki and co that Heiji seemed to have found out who the murderer is, and he's quickly run away with Conan. Both boys indeed rush into the city to try and find the three participants. Conan seems to have phoned the hotel and gotten confirmation that one of the participants at least is innocent since he directly went back to the hotel, while the two others didn't.

Heiji fears the killer might murder another person, and Conan says indeed it's the case, since the police will quickly find out something went wrong with the "suicides", and thus there's only little time left for the killer to assassinate his last victim. They suddenly spot '''Kasuya''' and deduce "he probably wants to erase the evidence of his guilt". Conan decides to call the police but Heiji tells him to hang up : police will probably have the murderer fly away, whereas a deduction show from two kids won't scare him and will lead him to confess more easily.

Saying so, they start tailing Kasuya, but are completely unaware that they are being followed by a gang of dangerous crooks.

==== File 321 - The Sad Tiger Scroll ====
Heiji and Conan notice Kasuya enters a strange warehouse, while Conan's got the feeling they are being watched for and followed. Indeed, as they enter the warehouse too, they don't realise the gangsters are just nipping at their heels. Conan prepares his stungun wristwatch while Heiji keeps an eye on Kasuya's moves. Suddenly, Conan is discreetly abducted by an unknown assailant in the dark, without Heiji's noticing it, and the latter says he'll go first after Kasuya, and Conan will follow him once he's done with relieving himself. Kasuya knows he's being tracked by Heiji but pretends not being aware of it, and keeps on climbing up the stairs, at the top of which he meets...

<spoiler>...'''Shigehiko Wakisaka''' who was waiting for him as planned. Wakisaka says the item is inside a big tools box, and Kasuya goes on searching for it, Wakisaka advising him to use the big flashlight next to the box, that will "give him some good light" in order to find the tiger's scroll. Heiji steps in and tells Kasuya not to switch it on, unless he wants to end up just like Kato did. Heiji reveals Wakisaka to be the serial killer who murdered Kato and Katagiri by both setting them alight and having it look like a suicide. Wakisaka, just like with Kasuya, enticed his victims with the tiger's scroll. He told Kato he had hidden the scroll under a tile of the castle's roof. Kato would ceratinly go and look for it by night, when nobody would be around and be able to spot him. Though, he needed some light and used his lighter first, only to find something better than this light: a big flashlight, which had been placed here beforehand by Wakisaka, a very special "bomblight" which exploded as soon as Kato switched it on, setting fire to his woolen jumper, and killing him afterwards. As Kato had placed his lighter on the exact place where the cylindrical lamp was (accounting for the strange shape on the roof, and the charred remains), and actually expected to retrieve it afterwards, the police would then believe Kato had committed suicide, as they would find the lighter with his fingerprints on the roof after his death, just like Wakisaka had planned. The burned battery Conan found was actually the flashlight's.

Later on, Wakisaka had Katagiri wait for him at Gokuraku Bridge to discuss something very important, and had asked her to wear a large coat, and he actually disguised as Katagiri, the large coat concealing most of his man's body, and then he bashed her with a kind of cinder block, and carried her up to the guardrail. There, he dumped her head first into the river, poured gas on her back, and then waited for a witness to come along. Actually, Wakisaka was wearing a fireproof diving suit - covering the whole body up to the head - under "Katagiri's clothes", and when Kazuha and Ran turned up, he set himself alight, knowing he wouldn't get hurt at all, bent over the guardrail and pretended to suffer, dropped his lighter on Katagiri's gased body in the river to set it on fire, and then dived into the river, and quickly swam and hid under the bridge's pillars. Therefore, when the girls would come up, they would only see Katagiri's burning corpse, having allegedly killed herself, and would never imagine there was another person under the bridge. Moreover, Wakisaka had left Katagiri's shoes at the guardrail, to add more realism to her "suicide". Also, people would have thought her head injury was due to hitting the bridge's pillar when falling, and Wakisaka perfectly knew that. His wetsuit allowed him to escape burning but also wetting, since he came directly afterwards to the crime scene without being wet at all. The suit's zipper though got bloodied by Katagiri's, and this accounts for the three marks when he carried her. He then swam again up to a safe place, removed his suit and fake Katagiri's clothes, and put on his right clothes again, and eventually joined the crowd and mingled with it.

Though, Kasuya says Wakisaka probably didn't really mind having witnesses to check Katagiri's suicide after all, since none would walk along the bridge since a murder had taken place previously close to the castle, but Ran's and Kazuha's presence helped him a lot in the end. Yet, Heiji says Wakisaka had also planned for a witness to come: he had called Fukushima to come along the bridge, pretending he was from the police, and that he needed his help to prevent maybe Katagiri from killing herself for instance. Fukushima then ran away after seeing actually things were not as he was told, and the girls believed someone was spying on them and escaped. Heiji and Conan knew it was Fukushima since he immediately said Katagiri had died by setting her alight, while he's supposed not to have listened to Otaki's account of events yet before saying so. Wakisaka needed a witness to confirm suicide, as otherwise people and especially police would have thought a killer had set her ablaze and that she had to leap into the water to put it out. Wakisaka had asked Kato to wear that woolen and nylon jumper and Katagiri to wear that large flammable coat in order to spot them more easily during the tour, but in fact to have them burn more rapidly.

The evidence of the murders are actually the zipper marks: there is some kind of round shape next to the zipper shape, and that round shape is Wakisaka's game badge: there's probably some of Katagiri's blood on it, and it's quite invisible since the badge's colours are very dark - this means Wakisaka didn't zip his suit fully and properly. Wakisaka ripped into Kato, Katagiri, almost Kasuya, and also Hirano: Heiji asked Agasa to search for Hirano's wherebaouts, and he discovered that his website hadn't been updated for three weeks, implying something had happened to him. Indeed, he was burned alive, maybe with the same trick used for Kato or Katagiri, by Wakisaka, very recently, in the castle's outer walls. Hirano was about to meet the tour group after his meeting with Wakisaka, explaining why actually he "didn't come due to a last-minute hitch". Wakisaka confesses to his three murders, along with the fourth attempt, in order to avenge his grandfather Masakiyo's death. Masakiyo was a big fan of Hideyoshi, and he was the one holding the dragon's scroll in the middle of Katagiri's picture, surrounded by Hirano, Kato, Katagiri and another man. Masakiyo had found the dragon's scroll and gathered a team of experts to try and find Hideyoshi's treasure. In the end, he decided to give up and donate the scroll to the National Musuem. He went to Osaka thirteen years ago to try and convince his team to give up with the treasure. Though, not only his comrades refused it but also got in a fume when they discovered Masakiyo had concealed to them the existence of a flask's fragment he thought useless, and they decided to burn him alive in the castle's moat, after stealing his scroll. Wakisaka then searched for his late grandfather's comrades one after the other with only a picture as sole clue, the same picture he put in Katagiri's pocket to probably scare Kasuya when he would see it.

Wakisaka also discovered '''the unknown man on the picture had completely changed face, name and life during all those years, and Heiji realises this man is Kasuya'''. It's too late though, as Kasuya suddenly takes aim at Heiji and Wakisaka with a gun, and the gangsters emerge from the dark and also take aim at them, cornering them completely. Kasuya says he had very good reasons to silence Masakiyo, and had actually thought about killing Katagiri as well, as she had discovered who he really was during the trip. Heiji says if they kill Wakisaka they will never be able to get hold of Hideyoshi's treasure. Kasuya answers he knows Wakisaka didn't bring the scroll, and he'll go and search his home afterwards. He orders them to switch on the flashlight, to make the police believe later on that Heiji had come and fought with the murderer, and they ended up perishing in an explosion together. Kasuya allows them a last answer to his question: how did Heiji figure out Wakisaka was the murderer, as neither him nor Kasuya nor Fukushima had valid alibis? Heiji refuses to reply, but actually Conan does, from up far, saying it's the umbrella, Heiji's umbrella, that Kato grasped before dying, which stands for Nobunaga's famous golden umbrella, which referred then to Wakisaka, the one who had told him where the scroll supposedly was.

Kasuya orders Conan to quickly get downstairs and if not to witness his friend's death, and while Heiji shouts to Conan never to do it, someone leaps into the void from Conan's storey, and lands just in front of the gangsters: that person is revealed to be Heizo. Heizo shelters his son, and tells Kasuya that even if he changed his whole appearance up to a million times, his despicable voice and rotten heart would never change as to them. Heizo reveals he had set a dragnet beforehand to lure Kasuya and his crooks into enetring the warehouse and to trap them afterwards, and, saying so, dozens of police squads surround them with weapons and lights, and arrest them, saying that '''they are the bank robbers''' who murdered so many people and who started thirteen years ago, when Kasuya needed an enormous amount of money to make up for the loss of income and to pay back his huge debt due to investing so much in that useless Hideyoshi's treasure quest at that time. Toyama says they still have, as obvious evidence, Kasuya's voice left on his victims' answerphones before silencing them, and his fingerprints he left here and there on the crime scenes - but he didn't mind since he spent millions in plastic surgery to change faces constantly. Heizo yells at them to surrender now, without putting up any resistance. And the squad launches assault, ending a long-lasting case with a spectatcular and to-be-remembered arrest. Otaki was the one who had abducted Conan, in order to shelter him away from danger.

In the police van, it is revealed that Wakisaka's grandfather or Wakiska himself had actually found the tiger's scroll, and Wakisaka lured his victims with it, sending a piece of earthenware to each of them to attract them all - then his grandfather had found a flask as well. He is the one who attracted Kasuya in the warehouse with another piece. It is therefore undertsood that Wakisaka was tracking Kasuya after the birdge case and Conan and Heiji were actually chasing Wakisaka and not Kasuya, rather wanting ot protect Kasuya from Wakisaka, and anyway they were completely ignorant of Kasuya being the last person of the picture, and being the gang leader. Kasuya blames Wakisaka for being so stupid since now he won't inherit a single penny from Hideyoshi's treasure. However, Wakisaka answers that the tiger's scroll wasn't a map but an Alexandrine written by Kajisuke: "The dragon's scroll is well worth those thousand items". Kajisuke was a famous Edo-era thief who constantly tried to steal Hideyoshi's gold in his castle's wells, which means he stole all of Hideyoshi's treasure and become rich. Thirteen years ago, Masakiyo found the scroll that Kajisuke had left hidden somewhere in the well as a joke, but said nothing to his comrades because they were all so obsessed with it, and they had put so much money in it, expecially Kasuya.

Later on, Heiji gets incensed at his father's actual plan to use him as a bait to lure Kasuya and Wakisaka. He deliberately beat up his son in order to prompt it to lose his temper and track down the two culprits, who wouldn't be suspicious of a teenage kid and a seven-year-old following them, and they would never imagine the good haul that was being prepared by Heizo. Toyama had actually told Otaki about Kasuya, and had especially told him to track him down but also not to let Heiji know a single thing about it, and also to have Heiji floowed bypolice as well, just in case. Heizo also said this was a risky plan though as Kasuya had told his crooks to come along to retrieve the 1000 flasks. Heizo knew that Wakisaka was the criminal given the umbrella thing he deduced as well. Heiji can't hold back his anger, and he's probably the one responsible for Heizo's ear injury, who is being treated by Shizuka later on.</spoiler>

==== File 322 - A Long-Awaited Gathering ====

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.

==== File 323 - The Secret of the Idols ====

Megure searches everyone for the murder weapon but it isn't found. Though they discover a listening device and find drawers tampered with.

==== File 324 - The Idols' Regret ====

<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. She then bit it and spat it out into the sink. She had chloroformed Kaoru beforehand, tried to kill her, and then left fake blood splatters in front of the door, and threw the bloody raincoat outside the apartment, to make it believe she had been attacked by the stalker.

Her motive is that she has a 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 (since her dad's got diabetes), 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 Atsushi Makuma 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.

==== File 325 - Something the Lion Dropped ====

Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys are at a circus (named "The Animal Show with Paul & Annie"), and they enjoy it very much. After the show, they leave the venue and notice a man who appears to be Randy Hawk (the show's sponsor, Paul and Annie's father and a businessman from the U.S. state of Oklahoma who is currently taking the circus on a worldwide tour) surrounded by reporters. Since the man seems very tired of and upset about the swarm of questions from them, Haibara comments that he should have hired bodyguards, and Conan explains that Hawk never does because, according to him, he "comes from a lineage of cowboys and cowboys know how to defend themselves". The man finally loses his temper with the reporters and lashes out by saying "Can you give me a break!?" Conan notices his British accent, realizes that he is not actually Randy Hawk and quickly comes up with a rescue plan. Conan tells the reporters that the man is a friend of his grandfather (Haibara points at Agasa at this moment) called "Thomas" and the rest of the Detective Boys takes advantage of their confusion to drag the man away, claiming that they have planned to have lunch with "Thomas".

After they have left the circus, the foreign man thanks the Detective Boys for having gotten him out of trouble and mentions that he has come to Japan because he adores Hawk's show and knows that only in Japan can he buy a limited edition of Hawk’s lion keychain. Agasa asks why Conan knows that the man is not Hawk, and Conan gives the above-mentioned rationale, and adds that Japanese people cannot differentiate between Westerners very well. The foreign man is impressed by Conan's deductions and bends down to congratulate him for being so perceptive. The man then introduces himself as James Black, and the Detective Boys also introduce themselves to him and show him their badges. James instantly recognizes that Sherlock Holmes is on the badges, and compares them to the Baker Street Irregulars. James further comments that coincidentally, he was born on Baker Street; he adds that he was raised in Chicago, the Windy City where Al Capone (a nefarious gangster active in the 1920s) stormed.

In order to show the Detective Boys his gratitude, James decides to treat his new friends to a nice lunch (he was going to meet with a friend, who he describes as a long-haired man, before being stopped by the reporters, but it appears that he has forgotten about this), and since Agasa's Beetle does not have enough seats, James says that he will fetch his crossover car parked not far away. After he is gone, Haibara asks Conan in a mildly concerned manner what he feels about James; the latter responds with "nothing negative" and is surprised that Haibara finds James slightly suspicious.

James reaches his crossover. As he opens the door, two police officers interrupt him. They explain that his crossover was stolen a week ago, and since they want to know the exact circumstances under which James rented it they have a few questions for him (including his name, where he is accommodated etc.). James agrees to take the questions beside their police car on the other end of the alley, and as they approach the vehicle, James tells the officers that he wants to notify the Detective Boys about his situation first. Upon hearing this, one of the officers takes out a gun; he proceeds to hold it against James’ back and order him, in a menacing manner, to get in the car immediately. James is petrified by the sudden turn of events, so he does not manage to move his body; this prompts the officer to kick James into the car. James' lion keychain falls off as a result, but since the “officers” deem it unimportant, they drive off without further ado (there is another “officer” in the driver's seat). On the way, they reveal to James the motive of the kidnapping: they want James to share with them the money that he earned by "whipping animals". James, knowing that they have mistaken him for Randy Hawk, starts protesting, but this is ignored by the kidnappers.

Agasa and the Detective Boys set out to look for James after waiting for him for 40 minutes, and they eventually spot his crossover (they know that it is his because Mitsuhiko notices that there is a cute lion figure beside the front window). The crossover is in a strange state: the door is open, and the keys are on the door lock. Some children playing nearby tell them that James entered an alley nearby with two men in coats, and with this clue the Detective Boys are able to find the lion keychain of James. They notice bloodstains on the keychain; namely, on the symbols "P", "&" and "A" of "Paul & Annie". Conan deduces that this must be a message from James to them, but he struggles with its meaning. This file ends with a panel in which James is sucking his finger (which has been injured for some reason), looking collected and unafraid, and a smirking kidnapper sitting beside him.

==== File 326 - P & A ====

The kidnappers brag about their "good catch", believing that they will get millions as ransom from Hawk's children in exchange for his release, and they completely disregard James' insistence that they are mistaken until they hear Randy Hawk speak on the radio. One of the kidnappers suggests killing James straightaway, but another reprimands him for being hot-headed and suggesting something this stupid and says that they must follow the original plan, drive to the mountains of Gunma Prefecture and dispose of James there. On the other hand, Agasa and the Detective Boys head to a police station nearby to ask for their help, but the policemen there completely fail to grasp that they might be dealing with a kidnap and that the situation is dire. Seeing that they cannot depend on the police, the Detective Boys try to figure out the meaning of "P & A" on themselves, and are unsuccessful. So they are forced to resort to asking pedestrians nearby whether they have noticed anything suspicious, and at this moment Ayumi notices that her detective badge is gone. She hypothesizes that James took it from her to appreciate the silhouette of Sherlock Holmes on it. Knowing that James likely has the badge, Conan changes the plan and uses his criminal-tracking glasses to try to track James' location. This reveals that James is 16 kilometers away from them, going towards Saitama Prefecture (which is located between Tokyo Metropolis and Gunma Prefecture) on Ikumo Highway and in all likelihood on a vehicle.

Conan calls the Tokyo Metropolitan Police and urges Takagi to set roadblocks on Ikumo Highway, on the border separating Tokyo and Saitama. Takagi patiently explains that he cannot do so, but Sato, knowing that Conan is the one calling, grabs the landline and listens to what Conan has to say. She agrees to do what Conan deems necessary and promises Conan that she and Takagi will set out immediately for Saitama. Takagi is astounded by her decision, but Sato justifies it by saying (happily) that cases involving Conan tend to be interesting and that there is not another case at hand anyways.

After the call, Conan asks Agasa to take them to Saitama as well, as they are the only ones besides the kidnappers who can actually recognize James. Haibara says that she finds it weird that James, knowing that whoever kidnapped him was fishy (if he did not know then he would not have time to injure himself and leave the message on the keychain), still went with them. Conan says that she is overthinking and wonders where she is going with this. At this instant, the mysterious man with the black knit hat (i.e. Shuichi Akai) passes the Detective Boys and stares discreetly at them. Haibara immediately reacts to his presence and turns around with an extremely frightened expression on her face, but Akai has already driven off. Haibara screams at Conan in panic, asking whether he has noticed Akai, and Conan says that he has not because of the car's high speed. This response (for some reason) calms Haibara down.

The kidnappers reach the roadblocks and encounter Yumi, who has been instructed by Sato to peep into every passing car to check for foreigners. Since they have made their car resemble a true police car, have covered James with a coat and have prepared a well-crafted fabrication, she allows them to pass without suspecting them in the slightest way and believing that they are police officers transporting a petty criminal. Agasa and the Detective Boys then arrive and are astonished to learn that the police have not noticed a single problematic vehicle. Since the battery of his glasses is dying, Conan knows that he cannot keep tracking James' movement for much longer; thus, Agasa encourages them to try to focus on the message again. After some unfruitful discussions, Ayumi suggests that since James likes animals so much, "P & A" might be related to animals. This inspires Conan, who exclaims at once that he knows where James is and thanks Ayumi excitedly. Meanwhile, more than 8 kilometers from Conan and company (and on a highway of Saitama), James sees through the rear-view mirror that Akai was right behind the kidnapper's car (note that it has never been revealed how Akai managed to find James), and he smirks mysteriously.

==== File 327 - A Stupid Plan ====

<spoiler>
Sato and Takagi arrive and Conan reveals that the kidnappers are driving a police car, which is why they have managed to bypass the roadblocks. He says that the ampersand ("&") in the message "P & A" represents the English word "and", and so the true message is "panda", which has black and white patches just like Japanese police cars. Sato and Takagi are not entirely convinced, and they say that the fact that panda was once used as a metonym for police cars in Japan is not something that a foreigner is likely to know; Yumi adds that an entirely white car with black wheels can also be referred to as "panda". Conan says that while it is true that an average foreigner might not be familiar with this usage of "panda", since black-and-white was extensively used on police cars in the United Kingdom (starting in 1965 in the county of Lancashire) and the use of panda as an alternative for police car is recorded in some dictionaries, the British-born and elderly James should know this jargon. Yumi now seems more convinced, and she recalls having checked a police car in which someone whose face was covered by a coat was sitting between two supposed police officers; the Detective Boys excitedly shout that that car must be it.

Sato and Takagi set off again to chase the kidnapper's car, and Sato says that the kidnappers might have already realized that the police is after them and thus will become desperate and dangerous and attempt to force their way through the further roadblocks that the police in Saitama have set. She is partially right: one of the kidnappers, by noting that Yumi checked every single car passing, indeed concludes that their misdeeds have already been leaked to the police; but he still stays calm, and tells the others that they simply need to threaten to kill James whenever the police interfere with their escape again. Akai is still behind them at this moment, but he is able to catch up and overtake the kidnappers eventually, and when driving parallel to them grins viciously and gives the driver an extremely chilling and intimidating look.

As Sato tries to figure out a way to arrest the kidnappers without imperiling James and other civilians, Conan, who has left a detective badge on her car unnoticed, tells her and Takagi that he has an idea, which, despite being "stupid", will certainly work if more police forces are willing to cooperate. Yumi, who (like Agasa and the Detective Boys) is also joining the chase, receives a call from Sato in which Sato asks her to use her influence in the Saitama Prefectural Police (as Yumi often organizes singles parties inviting police officers from both Tokyo and Saitama) to do something.

The driver-kidnapper is still recovering from Akai's devilish glare while the other kidnappers see the police approaching, become increasingly upset and demand him to drive faster. He barely finishes his answer ("ok") when Genta starts shouting "Mr. policeman, help" from Agasa's Beetle (which has overtaken the kidnappers as well, but by very little) and Takagi, who is beside him, tells him that as a police officer he should help capture the kidnappers in the Beetle in front of them. The kidnappers decide to pretend to obey and seek escape whenever possible, but not only does such an opportunity not present itself, but more police cars approach them over time, all of which seemingly under the assumption that they are real police officers and can do their part in preventing the criminals in the Beetle from escaping. The kidnappers are dumbfounded by this strategy and two of them begin having an anxiety attack as police cars gradually close in on them. The third kidnapper is able to remain relatively calm and takes out his gun, murmuring savagely that as long as they have control over the hostage the police will be unable to do anything. James seems to have understood Conan's strategy and praises his intelligence, and also remarks that the kidnappers' any further struggle will be futile. He thinks to himself that once the kidnappers are surrounded tightly and from all directions by the police, a commander will signal every car involved to brake simultaneously so as to force the kidnappers to do so as well. Since they are unprepared for this, their bodies will be thrown violently forwards and it will take them some time to regain control of the vehicle, during which he will be free from them and can leave the crime scene altogether and the police agents will surround the car and arrest them. This chain of events happens exactly as he has anticipated, and before anyone knows it the defeated kidnappers have already been carried away.

Yumi thanks the police officers from Saitama for participating, and they say that it is not a big deal at all as long as Sato (with whom they all are apparently in love with) comes to the next party that Yumi organizes. Sato, who is oblivious about this conversation and their feelings about her, notices that James is gone before the police can ask him about the incident. Haibara also notices this, which reaffirms her suspicion of James, but Conan is more worried about Akai, and recollects that he was involved in the bus hijacking case.

James shows up in Akai's car and explains that he knew from the very beginning that the two police officers were fake. He elaborates that since they did not even bother to ask him whether he knew Japanese when they approached him, it is certain that they (thought that they) knew exactly who they were dealing with. But later they wanted to ask his name, which is an obvious contradiction. James proceeds by saying that it surprises him to see that Akai has cut his long hair, and Akai responds that it was to commemorate the start of a new period in his life, as his lover (恋人さん in Japanese; this exact same phrase is used in Black Organization v.s. FBI and its true meaning, which is different from the apparent meaning, can be found there) has recently dumped him and he needs James' help to make that person pay and regret it for the rest of his/her life.

==== File 328 - Sato's Omiai ====

Sato's mother laments that her daughter is spending her day off lying lazily in the living room, after getting up at noon, eating mandarins and watching sports on TV, while this is not a behaviour that suits an important police officer. Instead, she suggests Sato should have a look at the pile of pictures her mother places in front of her, and Sato gets it that here we go again with the Omiai (arranged meeting and/or marriage in Japan) discussion, and as usual she has to force herself to get stuck with all the pictures of potential husbands. She first refuses to do it, explaining she sees enough pictures of corpses as part of her job, but her mother starts crying and tries to have her do it, saying she's been feeling so alone since Sato's father died in action. Miwako then accepts to only meet that person, and she flings a picture at random at her mother with her toes. Mrs. Sato opens the folder and when seeing the picture, she feels overjoyed, saying Miwako is indeed her daughter, given they have the exact same likes.

Meeting them in the street, Yumi tells Ran, Sonoko and Conan about Sato's doing a Omiai and being, at the moment, at the Japanese restaurant in order to meet her "future husband". Conan and the girls can't understand she chose a picture at random. Though, it's really unlikely any men, except unexperienced or serious ones, would accept dating a policewoman, spending most of her time on crime scenes. Yumi says not even Takagi is aware she's doing a Omiai, since all men at the police's are crazy about her, and she didn't want to wreak havoc nor shame herself by revealing it, and anyway she won't say yes to marriage. Moreover, there's absolutely no chance at all she will have to answer a proposal, since actually Yumi was tasked to tell Takagi about it, and she knows he will rush to the restaurant to stop her from saying yes, telling her she has "an unexpected and urgent case to investigate". After that, no groom will ever want to meet her again. Yumi wishes Takagi would at last declare his love to Miwako. Sonoko wants to see the Omiai with her own eyes, but Yumi can't give them a lift there since she's currently on duty. Though, they unexpectedly meet Dr. Araide, and ask him to drive them there. They want to see if Takagi really will come or not, as they know he and Miwako actually love each other.

At the Minatoro Restaurant, Sato, dressed up to the nines in a traditional Japanese outfit, gets annoyed at her "husband"'s being more than 10-minute late, and she's about to leave as Isokichi Kamoi, the "groom"'s butler, comes in and apologises for his young master's lateness. The master's parents are away and couldn't come, and that master comes in too, saying he's late due to taking much time to choose the most suitable flowers to "Inspector Sato", and he's revealed to be Shiratori. Mrs. Sato and Shiratori seem to know and like each other. Sato understands her mistake, though it's a rather huge stroke of bad luck. Sato's mom tells her that, just like herself, her daughter has a crush on police agents. Sato tries to have Shiratori believe she really chose him at random, and he replies fate then decided for them to meet and get married maybe. Miwako secretly hopes Yumi didn't forget her promise to tell "her knight" to go and fetch Miwako before things get worse. Though, Miwako wonders who "Yumi's knight" actually is - she is ignorant of him being actually Takagi.

Takagi has a sneezing fit as if someone were thinking about him. He gets Yumi's phone call telling him to check his text messages since she sent him something. Suddenly, someone screams behind him, saying a robber burglarised the convenience store and is trying to run away. Takagi and Chiba chase him, leaving Yumi's phone call into the car. They tell the crowd to stand aside and free the way for them, and they find an old man who's just been bumped into by the robber. The man says the robber went to hide into the park's public restroom. Takagi and Chiba rush there and find the gloves, helmet and long coat the robber was wearing, along with the booty bag, and they enter the restroom, ordering everyone to leave cabins and show up. Three people emerge : a tall and built man wearing a blue jumper and an earring named Hiroshi Zama, a small woman wearing a black hoodie named Eiko Koshimizu, and a middle-sized man wearing a green pullover. Takagi takes them near the old man, and asks him to tell them which of the three jostled him. He says he can't say for sure since his glasses had fallen during the shock, but he can at least say it was a woman wearing a blue jumper under her coat, smaller than or as small as him. Takagi doesn't understand since the only woman wears a black sweater... The three ask the police agents the permission to leave, since it seems they're out of the picture in that case, but Takagi and Chiba ask them to wait a moment as they need to listen to some other testimonies.

Sonoko and co are told by the restaurant's waitress that Sato is dating Shiratori in one of their rooms. They are astounded and don't know what to do, but Conan says they are old friends of Shiratori's parents, and they came to prepare a nice surprise for the couple, but they need some more time to finish it, and they ask to go into the next room to theirs to do so. In the meantime, the Satos, Shiratori and Kamoi are enjoying a delicious Japanese dinner, since Miwako doesn't appreciate French cuisine. Her mother is surprised to hear that, but Miwako seems to be lost in her thoughts, and Shiratori notices it.

Takagi asks the gathered crowd about any witnesses of the robbery around, and Zama, in the police car with the others, suggests Chiba should ask the convenience store about the robber. Chiba replies they did : the robber came in the place at around noon, when there's usually none or only a few people, and threatened the cashier and the manager with a knife, showing a "Take out money" paper to them. None could tell about his/her voice or appearance then. A high school student tells Takagi she was in a clothes' shop when she heard the scream and saw the robber running past the store : he/she's a very tall person, as he/she was at least one head taller than the other people in the crowd, and he/she wore a green sweater. She'd say the robber is a man, given his/her size and bulk. Takagi says the tallest suspect is Zama, but his sweater is blue. A passer-by then tells Takagi that a close-by bar's manager bragged about seeing the robber running past him. The manager is questioned, but can't say if the robber is a man or a woman, though he knows he/she wore a black sweater under his/her coat, and he/she's about 1.70 meters tall. Takagi says Kamieda is that tall but he wears a green jumper... The inspector is therefore all at sea and can't match testimonies.

In the meanwhile, Mrs. Sato and Kamoi decide to leave the couple alone, and Shiratori casts a glance at Sato who keeps looking at her phone in wait for the "knight" to call her. Shiratori tells her, all of a sudden, that he knew she expects a "valiant knight to come up and rescue her from the ugly ogre". Sato pretends not to understand a word he says, and he answers he agrees to make a deal with her : if Takagi comes along, Shiratori will leave the place and accept things how they are. But if Takagi doesn't, Sato will have to accept his marriage proposal. Sato asks him why he speaks about Takagi, and Shiratori says why not, and bursts into laughter, saying he got her there. Sato starts thinking deeply, while Conan and co are eavesdropping their conversation from the next room, and they suddenly hear Sato saying she agrees to the deal.

'''{{nihongo|Tomoaki Araide|新出智明|Araide Tomoaki}}''' is a character in the anime and manga franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a physician, and in his first appearance, thought to be a suitor for [[Ran Mouri]]'s affections.

== Background ==
Tomoaki Araide is the son of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s physician, Yoshiteru Araide, and also on occasion the basketball coach and school medic at Teitan High, the school [[Shinichi Kudo]], Ran Mouri and [[Sonoko Suzuki]] attended. Tomoaki had studied at the University of Tokyo; during this time, he had treated a young woman named [[Hikaru Yasumoto]], who was later hired into the Araide household as a maid.

When Yoshiteru Araide invited Kogoro Mouri, his daughter Ran and [[Conan Edogawa]] to dinner in his house, Conan noticed that Ran was paying a lot of unusual attention on Araide. The sojourn, however, quickly turned into a murder case as Yoshiteru Araide was found electrocuted in his bathtub. The murderer turned out to be Yoko Araide, Araide's wife and Tomoaki's stepmother, who had avenged the suicide of her dear friend Chiaki (Tomoaki's mother) over her husband's extramarital affairs four years previously. And as it turned out, Ran's attention on Tomoaki was in fact directed at the sweater he was wearing, of which she subsequently made two copies both for her father and Shinichi, who came to wear it still being Conan.<ref>Manga Chapter 237: Blackout Murder Case</ref>

=== Vermouth as Araide ===
Although he had been offered a position at a clinic in Aomori, Tomoaki stayed on and maintained his late father's practise. However, it was later learned that his identity had been usurped by [[Vermouth]], as a disguise to track down [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Jodie Starling]] of the FBI discovered this, which resulted in Araide and his family being rescued just as Vermouth attempted to kill them in order to cover her tracks, and eventually led to Vermouth ending her role as Araide.<ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind the Mask</ref>

Araide returned to Japan after Vermouth had been exposed, and has continued to practice in the Beika area ever since. He has also come to know about Conan's involvement with the FBI from [[Jodie Starling]], but remains unaware of his true role in the chain of events.<ref>Manga Chapter 457: School Ghost Story</ref>

== Personality ==
Araide is a very kind character and doctor, always lending a hand whenever he is needed. He tends to believe in the good of man and thus can be a bit too trusting at times.<ref>Manga Chapter 236: Blackout Murder Case</ref>

== Plot overview ==
=== The Unseen Angle of the Darkness (Manga: [[Volume 24#Blackout Murder Case|234-237]], Anime: [[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|170-171]]) ===
Kogoro Mouri visits Araide clinic with Ran and Conan so that his doctor Yoshiteru can give him the results of his health checkup. Ran goes to the bathroom during their visit and meets Tomoaki Araide on the way. Tomoaki Araide’s father is then killed in his bathtub via electrocution. Detective Takagi, Inspector Megure, and other nameless policemen investigate the murder.

Conan investigates and discovers Yoko Araide, Yoshiteru Araide's second wife was the murderer. She caused a blackout to occur while she was supposedly on the phone, and during the ensuing darkness, snuck to the bathtub and put the shaver in the bathtub. She then snuck back and asked the housemaid [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] to flip the circuit breaker, causing Yoshiteru Araide to be electrocuted.

The motive was that Araide's mother, Chiaki, died four years ago from driving under alcohol's influence, although she supposedly hated alcohol. She left a message to Yoko Araide to “Please take care of Tomoaki. Don’t let him follow his dad.” A journal Yoko found later indicates that Yoshiteru Araide was a flirtatious guy who drove Chiaki to drink. Meanwhile, Araide becomes very upset that his family is suspected by the police and that a trap was laid (by Conan) to catch the murderer. Araide rushes to the bathroom and overhears “Mouri’s” offer to conceal some of the details of the crime to protect the maid Hikaru’s conscience. This offer proves crucial as Vermouth does not know this detail because the records of investigation were altered to protect the maid’s conscience.

=== Bus Jack (Manga: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|287-289]], Anime: [[The Mysterious Passenger|230-231]]) ===
Vermouth disguised as Araide; same below and all the way to episode 345.

===Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume_41#Four_Porsches_Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]])===

===Head to Head with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume_42#Halloween_Party_Case|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]])===
[[File:Vermouth and Dr. Araide.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Vermouth as Araide.]]
The fact that Vermouth has been disguising as Araide for some time is revealed by Jodie Starling. The real Araide was in the U.S. with his family members during this time, under the protection of the FBI.

=== Teitan High School's Ghost Story (Manga: [[Volume 44#Classmate's Ghost Case|457]]-[[Volume 45#Classmate's Ghost Case|459]], Anime: [[Teitan High School's Ghost Story|361-362]]) ===
Since the FBI deems it safe for Araide (and his family members) to return to Japan, Araide comes back to Teitan High School and carries on Vermouth's work. Since he does not really know who Vermouth is, and learns that his impersonator seems to have been kind and helpful to students and staff alike, he asks Jodie whether Vermouth is really a bad person. Upon hearing this, Jodie becomes exceedingly grumpy, yells "how can a person who smiles while killing someone be a good person?" and hangs up, thinking at Vermouth has the terrifying ability of mimicking others' personality as well.

In these two episodes (or chapters) Araide also helps Sonoko, Ran and Conan with investigating the school ghost mystery. Conan solves the case and tranquillizes Sonoko in order to deduce, but this is interrupted by Araide, who attempts to examine Sonoko. Conan quickly stops Araide by using Sonoko's hand to slap his and by claiming (in Sonoko's voice) that it is her "show time".

After the case is solved, Araide tells Masao Monobe (a student of Teitan High School) that he, as the school's physician, was with Hideaki Hosaka (a fellow student of Monobe) shortly before Hosaka's death. Araide claims that although Hosaka was fatally injured at that time, he was still joking about the accident (which had been caused by Monobe). Araide later admits that the joking part is a white lie aiming to stop Monobe from keeping feeling guilty for a fellow student's death.

=== The Secret Path to School (Manga: [[Volume 49#Missing Classmate Case|507]], Anime: [[Super Secret of the Road to School|428]]) ===
A missing girl caught in a hit and run leads the detective boys to Araide’s hospital. Araide then starts raising two stray kittens while seeking new owners for them.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== The Stranger from Ten Years Later (OVA: [[The Stranger from Ten Years Later|9]]) ===
Tomoaki Araide appears to have developed feelings for Ran and proposes to her ten years in the future. Ran, however, rejects him, saying she's willing to wait another ten years for Shinichi's return. However, since this story was all part of a fever hallucination Conan was suffering at that time, it can be dismissed as non-relevant. Later, after his fever fell, Conan eats supper with his family and Araide, who has come to heal him and take care of him and at the glance of Ran talking to him, Conan remembers his dream and stares angrily at him.

=== Stork Mystery Tour (Anime: [[Stork Mystery Tour|554-555]]) ===
Tomoaki appears in a flashback in which Conan explains why he sprained his ankle. It was in fact because he was in a staircase in the street with the Detective Boys and saw Araide with Ran and thought about the idea of the two dating together and, as his attention was somewhere else, he slipped and fell off the staircase spraining his ankle.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Ran Mouri ===
[[File:araideran.png|thumb|right|200px|Ran and Tomoaki.]]
Araide and [[Ran Mouri]] became friends while Araide was acting as a temporary basketball coach in place of a teacher who broke his leg. During "[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]", Conan wrongly came to the conclusion that Ran was attracted to Araide. In truth, she wanted to borrow his sweater in order to knit a similarly patterned one for Shinichi. Some anime-original features play with the idea that Araide is interested in Ran, most notably in the OVA story [[The Stranger from Ten Years Later]] where he proposed to her, but this was only a dream of Conan's and can be ignored.

== Name origin ==
Araide's given name {{lang|ja|智明}} is an anagram of [[Kogoro Akechi]]'s surname {{lang|ja|明智}}.

'''{{nihongo|Taka'aki Morofushi|諸伏高明|Morofushi Takaaki}}''', more commonly known as '''{{nihongo|Komei|高明|Kōmei}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Morofushi's parents died prematurely, and while he remained in Nagano, his younger brother Hiromitsu was taken in by relatives in Tokyo and thus separated from Morofushi.

Morofushi first met [[Kansuke Yamato]] in elementary school.<ref name=Komei/> Morofushi's exploits were so well known there that a book about a child solving a case in an elementary school, titled "Kōmei-kun from Second Grade Class A!", was based off of him (another character in the book was based off of Yamato).<ref name=Komei/> Morofushi cherishes the book, keeping it in the glove compartment of his car, as the author was a friend of his.<ref name=Komei>[[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|Episodes 558-561: The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall]]</ref>

After (presumably) graduating from high school, Morofushi went to Tokyo to do a university degree, and finished top of his class. Then (presumably) he returned to Nagano and joined the prefectural police force, where climbed the ladder over the years and eventually became an Inspector. He once abandoned his job briefly in an attempt to save Yamato (who had been left to die in an avalanche),<ref name=Komei/> and while Yamato was eventually safe, Morofushi was demoted and sent to work at a local police station.<ref name=Komei/>

== Personality ==
Morofushi is generally shown to be calm and well-mannered, in contrast to the quick-tempered Yamato. According to Yamato, Morofushi tends to ignore others completely while investigating a case, and sometimes even goes out of his jurisdiction. If he has to, Morofushi will put his life on the line.

== Skills ==
Morofushi is highly skilled at the art of deduction, unlike many of the other police characters in Detective Conan. He also knows a lot about the [[Wikipedia: Three Kingdoms|Three Kingdoms]] era (an era in Chinese history lasting from 220 CE to 280 CE), and frequently quotes two of the most prominent military strategists of that era, namely [[Wikipedia: Zhuge Liang|Zhuge Liang]] (诸葛亮) and [[Wikipedia: Zhou Yu|Zhou Yu]] (周瑜).

== Plot overview ==
=== Red Wall Case (Manga: [[Volume 65#Red Wall Case|682-686]], Anime: [[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|558-561]]) ===
Morofushi is the first to realize that by looking at red things for a long time and then looking at something white, one sees green in the afterimage (this dying message thus implies the Italian flag, a vital clue to uncovering the culprit). While he texts Yamato "the late Kōmei" as a hint, he is abused by the culprit, who smacks Morofushi's head and renders him unconscious. The culprit later sets the house on fire to kill Morofushi, but he is able to escape before the whole house is engulfed by flames.

Later on, together with [[Conan]] and Yamato, Morofushi devises a scheme to trick the culprit to that the police can arrest him with ease.

=== Eye for an Eye (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|783-784]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|653-654]]) ===
It is revealed that Morofushi has managed to get back to the prefectural police force.

=== The Red Woman (Manga: [[Volume 83#The Red Woman|874-875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===

=== Kawanakajima Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Kawanakajima Murder Case|913]]-[[volume 87#Kawanakajima Murder Case|917]], Anime: [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|810-812]]) ===

=== Kaitou Kid and the Fairy's Lips (Manga: [[Volume 96#Kaitou Kid and the Fairy's Lips|1018-1021]], Anime: [[Kid vs. Komei: The Targeted Lips|983-984]]) ===
Morofushi arrives at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters to retrieve an envelope addressed to him, and stumbles upon a case involving [[Kaitou Kid]] after meeting [[Jirokichi Suzuki]]. While talking on the phone with Yamato, [[Yui Uehara]] mentions that he had a younger brother who had moved to Tokyo after their parents' deaths and working in MPD. Morofushi replies that he has not been in touch with his younger brother, and thus does not know where he is or what he is doing.

After seeing through Kid's tricks and "solving" the case, he meets up with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] and [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]], who hands him the envelope. Inside, Morofushi finds a phone with a huge hole on the screen and the letter "H" written on the back. Morofushi thus realizes that it is his brother Hiromitsu's phone, and conjectures that he has been working for the [[Public Security Bureau]] and died while carrying out some undercover mission. The number "0" is on the back of the envelope, which reminds Morofushi of the time when Hiromitsu called him and told him excitedly that he had made a friend nicknamed "Zero" in Tokyo.

=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1028-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===
Morofushi, along with Yamato and Uehara, investigates the video footage of the crime scene shot by [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]. He sees [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]] in the video and realizes that he has met him before. After thinking for a while, Morofushi recalls that when he was studying in Tokyo, he met up with Hiromitsu, who took "Zero" with him and told him that they were good friends and that both aspired to be a police officer. Morofushi thus suspects that the envelope was sent by Amuro. Shortly after this, his former boss, [[Kuroda]], talks to him in private; the conversation is not revealed to us readers, but it can be deduced from his subsequent behavior that Morofushi is instructed by Kuroda to pretend to not know Amuro.

After finally arriving at the crime scene, Morofushi greets Kogoro only and asks him who Amuro and Wakita are (Kogoro replies that they are his apprentices). As Yamato yells at him, telling him enter the church and start doing work, Morofushi goes past Amuro and says "every moment is precious and not a moment should be wasted." with the inner monologue "time is money, as the saying goes."

=== Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case|1082-1084]], Anime: TBD) ===

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Hiromitsu Morofushi ===
Taka'aki and Hiromitsu Morofushi are siblings. After their parents' death, Hiromitsu was taken in by relatives in Tokyo and was separated from Taka'aki, but they still kept a good relationship. Their contact was forced to stop when Hiromitsu quitted the Tokyo MPD and "took on another assignment" (i.e. began working for the PSB). Afterwards, Hiromitsu became an undercover and died during his mission, but Taka'aki was not aware of this until he retrieves Hiromitsu's broken phone four years later and infers from the phone the fate of his younger brother.

=== Kansuke Yamato ===
The rivalry between Yamato and Morofushi is mostly friendly, in which they see who can solve a case first. The two are also friends, and although they sometimes clash (with Yamato being quite rude to Morofushi), the overall relationship is not affected, and they keep working closely.

Morofushi is grateful that Yamato has introduced him to Conan, as he realizes after the Red Wall Case that Conan is highly intelligent.<ref name=Komei/> He even believes, and confides this to Yamato, that if it were not for Conan's observations, they would have never even come close to solving the case.<ref name=Komei/> He even compares Conan to a young version of Zhuge Liang.<ref name=Komei/>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Koumei nickname.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Komei nickname in kanji with a katakana reading.]]
Morofushi's name has a lot to do with Zhuge Liang (诸葛亮), a prominent Chinese military strategist living in the Three Kingdoms era. The courtesy name of Zhuge Liang is "孔明", which is pronounced as "Kōmei" in Japanese. Morofushi's given name "高明" is also pronounced in this way with the on'yomi reading, or the Sino-Japanese reading ("Taka'aki", on the other hand, is the kun'yomi reading, or native reading, of "高明"). Furthermore, the on'yomi reading of Morofushi ("Shofuku") is somewhat similar to the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese surname 诸葛 ("Shokatsu").

== Quotes ==
{{cquote|Make no intrusion into others' affairs. When it comes to relationships between close people, outsiders must never interfere.{{citation needed}}}}

== Trivia ==
* During Morofushi's first appearance, after hearing him noting that the case is under his department's jurisdiction and learning his name, Conan inwardly commented "''Shokatsu no Kōmei''" (Komei's jurisdiction). This is a pun on the Japanese reading of Zhuge Kongming.

{{nihongo|'''Hiromitsu Morofushi'''|諸伏景光|Morofushi Hiromitsu}} was a deceased investigator from the [[Public Security Bureau|Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau]] who used to work undercover in the [[Black Organization]] under the codename {{nihongo|'''Scotch'''|スコッチ|Sukotchi}}. He is a main character in the [[Wild Police Story]] manga, but is not mentioned frequently in the [[Detective Conan]] manga.

== Background ==
Hiromitsu's parents died when he and his brother Taka'aki were young. Taka'aki stayed in Nagano while Hiromitsu was taken in by relatives in Tokyo. But the brothers did keep in touch with each other and both later became police officers. He was an undercover member of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau inside the [[Black Organization]]. Not much has been revealed about his past and his time inside the organization, although he was acquainted with [[Rei Furuya]] (another undercover agent from the same organization) and [[Shuichi Akai]] (an undercover FBI agent using the alias Dai Moroboshi). Hiromitsu committed suicide before his real name and affiliation were revealed to the other Black Organization members.

In [[Wild Police Story]], it is revealed that his parents were actually murdered by a man. Hiromitsu and his friends manages to find that man, now having suicidal thoughts. The man attempts to commit suicide but is saved by Hiromitsu.

== Personality ==
The death of his parents during his childhood traumatized Hiromitsu. He found it hard to move on, and the trauma led to amnesia and aphasia. After he met Rei, he was able to overcome it in a way. Despite this trauma, he had a strong sense of justice, as when the murderer of his parents tried to commit suicide, he saved him. He was usually quiet but can talk to people if he intended to. He also liked going fishing with Rei and playing the guitar.

== Appearance ==

==Abilities==

Hiromitsu was likely skilled at guitar, as Amuro is a pro-level guitarist, and was taught by Hiromitsu. He was an outstanding gymnast and cook. In the Wild Police Story manga, he also displayed a refined aesthetics when designing the flag for the police academy sports festival and was recognized by his friends.

== Plot overview ==
=== Scarlet Epilogue (Manga: [[Volume 85|898]], Anime: [[The Scarlet Return|783]]) ===
[[File:Akai and Bourbon covered in blood.png|thumb|right|200px|Subaru has a flashback to himself as Shuichi and Bourbon covered in blood.]]
During the final part of the Scarlet arc [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] speaks to [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] on the phone and says "About him, I regret what happened. Even now...". In the Epilogue Shuichi mentions that Bourbon's grudge may be more deeply rooted than he thought. He has a brief flashback to himself and Bourbon covered in blood. During Bourbon and [[Vermouth]]'s conversation, she mentions a male infiltrator from the [[Public Security Bureau]] (PSB) who had been killed before they could figure out his name. Bourbon tells her that his code name was "Scotch".

=== Girls Band (Manga: [[Volume 88|937-938]], Anime: [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|836-837]]) ===
[[File:Scotch flashback on platform.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Masumi remembers meeting a man nicknamed Scotch.]]
[[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] has a flashback to four years ago where she saw her brother [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] on a train platform with another man. At that time, Masumi thought that Shuichi was supposed to be in America so she approached them. Shuichi told her to go away but she made the excuse that she did not have the money to get home. While Shuichi went to go buy her a ticket, the other man pulled a guitar out of the case on his back and taught her some notes. Before Shuichi returned, a third man that looks like [[Rei Furuya]] came over and called the other man "Scotch". Masumi believed this to be a nickname rather than an indication of his race because the man looked very Japanese.
[[File:EP837-Bourbon and Scotch.png|thumb|200px|Bourbon and Scotch.]]
Masumi reveals to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], and Rei that her older brother Shuichi Akai is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent. Sonoko then enquirers if her brother's friend might be an FBI agent as well but Masumi denies this possibility by saying that he must have been a friend that Shuichi was meeting with while on vacation. Rei thinks to himself that Scotch was a member of the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau]] and that Shuichi was the one responsible for his death.

=== Bourbon's Mission (Manga: [[Volume 90#Bourbon's Mission|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===
While driving around with [[Vermouth]], Amuro thinks of the death of Hiromitsu. Then, Amuro was running up the external staircases of a building while thinking of Scotch's words "I'm sorry Furuya, my PSB identity has been seen through by those people...it seems like the only route of retreat left is to the other world...goodbye Rei(Zero)". At the top of the building Amuro found Akai standing over Scotch's corpse holding a smoking gun and saying "Traitors...should be punished accordingly...right?". Amuro wakes up to Vermouth telling them they need to pry information out of a target and then destroy them in one swoop.

Later Conan, Subaru, Ran, and Sonoko run into Amuro and "Azusa", who Conan thinks is Vermouth, while trying to meet up with a musician who has some connection to a [[Rum]] case from [[Volume 90#The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters|17 years ago]]. Rei speaks directly to Subaru, who he doesn't realize is Shuichi in disguise due to [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|Scarlet Showdown]]. Conan reacts to them casually chatting and tells Subaru that they need to leave, but he doesn't want to. The group finds that the musician is already dead. At the end of the musician case it's revealed that Scotch's death was actually a suicide, as he tried to shoot himself to the chest where the bullet would have destroyed his phone where sensitive data is held.

Both Shuichi Akai and ironically, Rei (Bourbon / Amuro) played an indirect role in his drive to suicide. Being cornered by Shuichi, who was still undercover at the time, and without realizing his FBI affiliation, Scotch was forced to commit suicide. But as he was about to do finish the act, Shuichi tightly held the gun's cylinder, which prevented Scotch from being able to pull on the trigger. Then Shuichi revealed his true identity and motive, managing to prevent the death. However, in that moment, Rei's hurried footsteps were heard, and both Shuichi and Scotch took that as approaching Black members. Scotch used Shuichi's distraction to pull the trigger, as Rei arrived at the scene after Shuichi retrieved the gun from Scotch's hand. While Rei continued his investigation to try to understand more about Scotch's death, currently his conclusion is that Shuichi forced Scotch to commit suicide.

=== Kaitou Kid and the Fairy's Lips (Manga: [[Volume 96#Kaitou Kid and the Fairy's Lips|1018-1021]], Anime: [[Kid vs. Komei: The Targeted Lips|983-984]]) ===
[[Taka'aki Morofushi]], who arrived at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters to retrieve an envelope addressed to him, stumbled upon a case involving [[Kaitou Kid]] after meeting [[Jirokichi Suzuki]]. While talking on the phone with [[Kansuke Yamato]], Taka'aki says that he had lost contact with his younger brother who had moved to Tokyo after their parents' deaths.

After the case is solved, Taka'aki meets up with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] and [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] to receive the envelope. Inside is a destroyed phone with a hole on it. Here, Scotch's identity is revealed to be Hiromitsu Morofushi, Taka'aki's younger brother.

=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1030]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1004]]) ===
A flashback from [[Taka'aki Morofushi]] reveals that he brings Rei to introduce to his brother in a café during Taka'aki Morofushi collage life, which cause Taka'aki suspect that the envelope could be sent by Rei.

=== Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case|1082-1084]], Anime: TBD) ===

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Rei Furuya ===
Hiromitsu was friends with [[Rei Furuya]] since childhood. He helped Hiromitsu in overcoming his aphasia when he was still suffering due to his parents' sudden death.<ref>Wild Police Story file 11: Gathering and Discussing</ref> Hiromitsu also taught him how to cook.<ref>Wild Police Story file 7: Gentle Yet Firm</ref> They attended the police academy together, along with Date, Hagiwara, and Matsuda. Rei witnessed Hirotmisu's death. He has been blaming Shuichi for Hiromitsu's death due to a big misunderstanding. His resentment is strong enough that he continues chasing after Shuichi, even after he was told that Shuichi had been killed.

=== Shuichi Akai ===
[[Shuichi Akai]] has been on at least one mission inside the Black Organization with Scotch. The mission involved rifles inside bass guitar cases. During a later time, he is found standing over Scotch's bullet-ridden corpse while holding a handgun. Later, it is learned from Shuichi that after Scotch lost his cover, he tried to shoot himself and his phone, but Shuichi temporarily prevented him to do so, revealing his identity and offering him FBI protection. Unfortunately, overhearing someone footsteps, Scotch panicked and took the gun from a distracted Shuichi to shoot himself. He had no idea the footsteps were Rei Furuya's. Shuichi, not knowing that Bourbon was also a NOC, took back the gun and pretended to have been the one to eliminate the traitor.

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[Masumi Sera]] recalled meeting Scotch four years ago, when he was with Shuichi and Rei in a train station. Masumi also remembered Scotch teaching her how to play the bass and though it was only 10 minutes, she seemed to enjoy it. Masumi is not sure of Scotch's true identity or allegiance but thinks that Scotch is Japanese and that Scotch is not his real name.

'''{{nihongo|Taka'aki Morofushi|諸伏高明|Morofushi Takaaki}}''', more commonly known as '''{{nihongo|Komei|高明|Kōmei}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Taka'aki's parents died prematurely, and his younger brother Hiromitsu was taken in by relatives in Tokyo and separated from Taka'aki.
Morofushi and [[Kansuke Yamato]] were students at the same elementary school, which is where the two met.<ref name=Komei/> Morofushi's exploits were so well known that a book about a child who solved a case in a elementary school, titled "Komei-kun from Second Grade Class A!" was based off of him, while another character in the book was based off of Yamato.<ref name=Komei/> Morofushi cherishes the book, keeping it in the glove compartment of his car, as the author was a friend of his (she unfortunately died).<ref name=Komei>[[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|Episodes 558-561: The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall]]</ref> He was originally a high ranking inspector in Nagano, until he abandoned his job briefly to try and find Yamato when he was left for dead in the snow during a case.<ref name=Komei/> After Morofushi found the suspect, and helped save Yamato, he was demoted as an inspector in a local force in Nagano.<ref name=Komei/> In episode 653, it is revealed that he has returned to the main headquarters using his abilities.

== Personality ==
Komei is generally shown to be calm and well-mannered, in contrast to the quick-tempered Yamato. According to Yamato, Komei tends to ignore others completely while investigating, and sometimes goes out of his jurisdiction to try and solve a case. He will even put his life on the line if he has to.

== Plot overview ==
=== Red Wall Case (Manga: [[Volume 65#Red Wall Case|682-686]], Anime: [[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|558-561]]) ===
Morofushi is the first one to realize that by looking at red things for a long period of time and then looking at something white, one sees green in the after image (this dying message thus implies the Italian Flag, a vital clue to uncovering the culprit). Right after Morofushi notices the secret message, he texts [[Kansuke]] "the late Kōmei" as a hint, and the culprit ambushes him, smacks his head and renders him unconscious. The culprit later sets the house on fire to kill Morofushi, but fortunately he is able to escape before the whole house is engulfed by flames.

=== Eye for an Eye (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|783-784]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|653-654]]) ===

=== The Red Woman (Manga: [[Volume 83#The Red Woman|874-875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===

=== Kawanakajima Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Kawanakajima Murder Case|913]]-[[volume 87#Kawanakajima Murder Case|917]], Anime: [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|810-812]]) ===

=== Kaitou Kid and the Fairy's Lips (Manga: [[Volume 96#Kaitou Kid and the Fairy's Lips|1018-1021]], Anime: [[Kid vs. Komei: The Targeted Lips|983-984]]) ===
Morofushi arrives at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters to retrieve an envelope addressed to him, and stumbles upon a case involving [[Kaitou Kid]] after meeting [[Jirokichi Suzuki]]. While talking on the phone with Yamato, [[Yui Uehara]] mentions that he had a younger brother who had moved to Tokyo after their parents' deaths and working in MPD. Morofushi replies that he has not been in touch with his younger brother, and thus does not know where he is or what he is doing.

After seeing through Kid's tricks and "solving" the case, he meets up with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] and [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]], who hands him the envelope. Inside Morofushi finds a destroyed phone with a hole on it. He thus realizes that his brother Hiromitsu Morofushi has been working for the [[Public Security Bureau]] and died while in an undercover mission.

=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===
Morofushi appears with [[Kansuke Yamato]] and [[Yui Uehara]] for the investigation of the crime scene which is shown from the video footage. During the investigation, he sees [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]] and realizes he met him somewhere once before. In his flashback, he remembers that Amuro is his brother Hiromitsu's friend whom he met in the café during his study in the collage, who had a nickname "[[Zero]]". He suspect that the envelope could be send by Amuro. After that, [[Kuroda]] talks to him privately; the conversation is not revealed to us readers, but it can be deduced from his subsequent behavior that he is instructed by his former boss to pretend to not know Amuro.

After arriving at the crime scene, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Conan]], Amuro, and [[Kanenori Wakita|Wakita]], Morofushi greets Kogoro only (and ignoring Amuro) and asks him who Amuro and Wakita are. And as he is called away by Yamato, Morofushi goes past Amuro and says "every moment is precious and not a moment should be wasted." with the inner monologue "time is money, as the saying goes."

=== Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case|1082-1084]], Anime: TBD) ===

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Hiromitsu Morofushi ===
Taka'aki and [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Hiromitsu]] are siblings. After their parents' death, Hiromitsu was taken in by relatives in Tokyo and was separated from Taka'aki, but they still kept a good relationship. Their contact was forced to stop when Hiromitsu quitted the Tokyo MPD and "took on another assignment" (i.e. began working for the [[Public Security Bureau]]). Afterwards, Hiromitsu became an undercover and died during his mission, but Taka'aki was not aware of this until he retrieves Hiromitsu's broken phone four years later and infers from the phone the fate of his younger brother.

=== Kansuke Yamato ===
The rivalry between Yamato and Morofushi is mostly friendly, in which they see who can solve the case first. The two are also friends, and although they sometimes clash (with Yamato being quite rude to Morofushi), the overall relationship is not affected (as evidenced by, for example, Yamato's attempt to get Morofushi back to the prefectural police force after Morofushi's demotion to a local police station).

Morofushi is grateful that Yamato has introduced him to Conan, as he realizes after the Red Wall case that Conan is highly intelligent.<ref name=Komei/> He even believes, and confides this to Yamato, that if it were not for Conan's observations, they would have never even come close to solving the case.<ref name=Komei/> He even compares Conan to a young version of Zhuge Liang.<ref name=Komei/>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Koumei nickname.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The Komei nickname in kanji with a katakana reading.]]
Morofushi's name has a lot to do with [[Wikipedia: Zhuge Liang|Zhuge Liang]] (诸葛亮), a prominent Chinese military strategist living in the [[Wikipedia: Three Kingdoms|Three Kingdoms]] era, about 1800 years ago. The courtesy name of Zhuge Liang is "孔明", which is pronounced as "Kōmei" in Japanese. Morofushi's given name "高明" is also pronounced in this way with the on'yomi reading (Sino-Japanese reading) ("Taka'aki" is the kun'yomi reading, or native reading, of the name "高明"). Furthermore, the on'yomi reading of Morofushi ("Shofuku") is somewhat similar to the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese surname 诸葛 ("Shokatsu").

== Quotes ==
{{cquote|Make no intrusion into others' affairs. When it comes to relationships between close people, outsiders must never interfere.{{citation needed}}}}

== Trivia ==
* During Taka'aki's first appearance, after hearing him noting about the case being under his department's jurisdiction and learning his name, Conan inwardly commented "''Shokatsu no Kōmei''" (Komei's jurisdiction). This is a pun on the Japanese reading of Zhuge Kongming.

During the final part of the Scarlet arc [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] speaks to [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] on the phone and says "About him, I regret what happened. Even now...". In the Epilogue Shuichi mentions that Bourbon's grudge may be more deeply rooted than he thought. He has a brief flashback to himself and Bourbon covered in blood. During Bourbon and [[Vermouth]]'s conversation, she mentions a male infiltrator from the [[Public Security Bureau]] (PSB) who had been killed before they could figure out his name. Bourbon tells her that his code name was "Scotch".

[[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] has a flashback to four years ago where she saw her brother [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] on a train platform with another man. At that time, Masumi thought that Shuichi was supposed to be in America so she approached them. Shuichi told her to go away but she made the excuse that she did not have the money to get home. While Shuichi went to go buy her a ticket, the other man pulled a guitar out of the case on his back and taught her some notes. Before Shuichi returned, a third man that looks like [[Rei Furuya]] came over and called the other man "Scotch". Masumi believed this to be a nickname rather than an indication of his race because the man looked very Japanese.

Masumi reveals to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], and Rei that her older brother Shuichi Akai is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent. Sonoko then enquirers if her brother's friend might be an FBI agent as well but Masumi denies this possibility by saying that he must have been a friend that Shuichi was meeting with while on vacation. Rei thinks to himself that Scotch was a member of the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau]] and that Shuichi was the one responsible for his death.

=== Bourbon's Mission (Manga: [[Volume 90#Bourbon's Mission|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===
A flashback from [[Rei Furuya]] occurs while he is daydreaming while driving around with [[Vermouth]]. He runs up the external staircase of a building while thinking of Scotch's words "I'm sorry Furuya, my PSB identity has been seen through by those people...it seems like the only route of retreat left is to the other world...goodbye Rei(Zero)". At the top of the building he finds Shuichi standing over Scotch's corpse holding a smoking gun and saying "Traitors...should be punished accordingly...right?". He wakes up to Vermouth telling them they need to pry information out of a target and then destroy them in one swoop.

Later Conan, Subaru, Ran, and Sonoko run into Amuro and "Azusa", who Conan thinks is Vermouth, while trying to meet up with a musician who has some connection to a [[Rum]] case from [[Volume 90#The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters|17 years ago]]. Rei speaks directly to Subaru, who he doesn't realize is Shuichi in disguise due to [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|Scarlet Showdown]]. Conan reacts to them casually chatting and tells Subaru that they need to leave, but he doesn't want to. The group finds that the musician is already dead. At the end of the musician case it's revealed that Scotch's death was actually a suicide, as he tried to shoot himself to the chest where the bullet would have destroyed his phone where sensitive data is held.

Both Shuichi Akai and ironically, Rei (Bourbon / Amuro) played an indirect role in his drive to suicide. Being cornered by Shuichi, who was still undercover at the time, and without realizing his FBI affiliation, Scotch was forced to commit suicide. But as he was about to do finish the act, Shuichi tightly held the gun's cylinder, which prevented Scotch from being able to pull on the trigger. Then Shuichi revealed his true identity and motive, managing to prevent the death. However, in that moment, Rei's hurried footsteps were heard, and both Shuichi and Scotch took that as approaching Black members. Scotch used Shuichi's distraction to pull the trigger, as Rei arrived at the scene after Shuichi retrieved the gun from Scotch's hand. While Rei continued his investigation to try to understand more about Scotch's death, currently his conclusion is that Shuichi forced Scotch to commit suicide.
