== Case ==
=== Situation ===
At the beginning, Ran dreams about her mother Eri getting shot. After waking up she immediately calls Eri to ask if she is okay and tells her mother about her dream.

The scene then briefly changes to a scene of a jail, where a man named Jo Murakami holds out a notebook that says, "Beika City, Kogoro Mouri."
[[File:Movie 2-1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi tries Conan's fortune, which is "A chance for an A (kiss)".]]
The scene transitions again to the Detective Boys waiting for Professor Agasa on a bench . While waiting, Ayumi plays with a love oracle, and the machine tells her her and Conan are a perfect match. She then asks the oracle to tell Conan's romantic fortune, which is "A chance for an A (kiss)". Conan wonders just how old that machine is - "A", "B" and so on were very ancient expressions for romantic events. Agasa finally turns up and takes the Detective Boys to the Tohto Aeronautic Memorial Museum.

There are many kinds of helicopters and planes on display at the museum. Agasa wants to ask his traditional riddle to the children, but Mitsuhiko interrupts him and tells everyone he has also got a riddle for them. Mitsuhiko's riddle: Three guys, born on New Year's Day, April Fool's, and Children's Day formed a club. What was their club called? The answer: Tonakai (Reindeer). If you add up their birthdays, they become To-na-kai, a kind of audio-visual pun.
Conan figures out the answer, and they spot the photographer Shishido Eimei taking pictures around the museum.

Back at the Mouri Detective Agency, Jo Murakami is shown knocking on the door. When he gets no answer, he leaves.

Ran and Sonoko attend an autograph session with Minoru Nishina who has written several cookbooks. Ran is a big fan of Nishina's and tells him to keep writing "tasty" books. The girls later go to a café, and Ran tells Sonoko about the fight that caused Kogoro and Eri to separate when she was seven years old. Ran also says they are going to meet up with Eri for dinner at seven o'clock that evening.

Conan comes back home late just as Kogoro is getting ready for their dinner. The TV is on and Katsuyoshi Asashi, the owner of "Aquacrystal", a new entertainment complex, is being interviewed. Ran turns the TV off and tells Conan to hurry up and get changed.

When they meet Eri at the restaurant "La Fleur", she is as sharp as always, correctly guessing that Kogoro would be late because he played mahjong until late the night before. Hiroki Tsuji, a professional golfer and an acquaintance of Kogoro's, also enters the restaurant and Kogoro introduces him to his family. Tsuji explains he is currently training for the US Open.

During dinner, Ran shows a suprising amount of knowledge about wine, explaining to Conan why the sommelier Kohei Sawaki wears a grape badge and what a tastevin is for. Eri and Kogoro realise their daughter has grown up a lot.
Conan enjoys his meal as well. Ran notices he has got some foid in the corner of his mouth, and tries to wipe him off with a napkin. Conan thinks back to the oracle telling him he has "A chance for a kiss" and blushes. Kogoro interrupts them to wipe Conan's mouth off roughly.
Kogoro and Eri get along surprisingly well during dinner. They remember going on a date to the same restaurant ten years earlier and revel in the memory for a bit, when Kogoro suddenly notices Peter Ford, a journalist, near Towako Okano. Kogoro gets jealous, believing Ford is flirting with Okano and Eri angrily gets up and leaves as she has enough of Kogoro's flirting with other women.

A week later, Inspector Megure is shot by an arrow while out for a run.

}}

Kogoro, the Detective Boys, and Ranvisit Megure in the hospital. Shiratori tells them that the arrow was shot from a crossbow, and a western sword was found at the scene.

Eri is at work and her assistant brings her a package with Zigoba chocolates. The brand is Eri's favourite and Kogoro used to give it to her as a present. She therefore believes Kogoro has sent the chocolates, trying to make up with her, eats one, and collapses to the floor. There was poison in the chocolate.

}}

Midori Kuriyama calls for an ambulance and gets Eri to the hospital in time so she survives the poisoning. There is a paper flower on the chocolate box that seems familiar to Conan.

Conan visits Professor Agasa to get his skateboard repaired. Suddenly someone throws a rock through Agasa's front door. Agasa goes to look for the culprit and someone drives by on a motorcycle and shoots at him with a crossbow.

Conan chases after the culprit with his skateboard but loses him at a crossoad. He contacts the Detective Boys with their micro remitter and tells them to keep an eye out for a motorcycle. The children spot the culprit racing past them and quickly tell Conan who gives chase. When the attacker sees Conan, he makes a sudden sharp turn and rides up and down a stairway. Conan tries to follow, but is distracted by an old woman who stumbles on the stairs, and loses sight of the attacker. Back at Agasa's house, Conan finds a mysterious object in the grass, and finally realizes the connection between the sword, the flower, and the strange object, as well as the victims.

[[File:Movie 2-2.jpg|thumb|200px|The sword is held by the King of Spades In addition, Megure's first name, Juzo, can be read as 13.]]
All objects relate to playing cards, with the sword, flower and the odd object being held by the king, queen and jack respectively. Furthermore, Megure's first name Juzo can be read as 13. Eri's last name Kisaki means queen in English and the last character of Agasa's first name Hiroshi, is a combination of the characters for 10 and 1 or 11 in short.

Megure visits Eri, Ran, Kogoro and Conan in hospital to update them on the state of the investigation. The police believe the serial killer might be Jo Murakami, a former card dealer who was just released from prison. Kogoro says he wouldn't be surprised if Murakami was after him, after all it was Kogoro who arrested him ten years earlier. Shiratori wants to tell Ran and Conan all about the case but Megure stops him, saying they now have to focus on preventing the next murder. They believe that Murakami is now after someone among Kogoro's friends or acquaintances whose name contains the word or character for 10. Kogoro is shocked as he realises that he does indeed know "a ten" - Towako Okano, her name contains the word for ten, "to".

The police quickly dispatch two officers to guard Towako's house.

Shiratori is pressured by Ran and Conan and starts to explain the facts of the Murakami case to them. Murakami had just been interrogated at Kogoro's police precinct when Eri arrived at the station with a young Ran, because they wanted to surprise Kogoro and pick him up from work. Murakami was being led to his cell when he saw Eri and tried to escape, taking her hostage in the process.

As part of his police training, Kogoro had been taught never to shoot in a hostage situation, but on that day he did, injuring Eri and causing Murakami to let go of her, leading to his safe arrest and transfer to prison.
This was the case that led Kogoro to quit the police force.
[[File:Movie 2-3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan mentions that although Kogoro did shoot Eri, he questions if that was the whole truth, and hangs up.]]
When Conan calls Ran as Shinichi later, she asks him if he would do the same if Ran was held hostage, even if it meant injuring Ran. Conan says that although Kogoro did shoot Eri, he wonders if that was the whole truth, and hangs up.

At the agency, Conan later remembers another person with "ten" in his name, Hiroki Tsuji. Megure, Kogoro, and Shiratori quickly rush to Tsuji's house along with Ran and Conan. Tsuji was planning to go on a helicopter ride. The police warn him not to leave but he refuses to cancel the trip. He does allow Megure and Kogoro to escort him to Tohto Airport. Conan sneaks onto the helicopter as well.
During the flight, Tsuji suddenly can't keep his eyes open any longer and can't tolerate sunlight.

}}

Conan attempts to land the helicopter at Teitan Elementary. While doing so, he contacts the Detective Boys with their badge, asking them to help evacuate the schoolyard. The helicopter is caught by a downdraft and crashes onto the ground. Tsuji, Kogoro, Megure and Conan just about escape before the helicopter explodes due to gas leaking out.

The investigation reveals that someone replaced Tsuji's eyedrops with mydriatic drops, which caused his pupils to dilate and become light-sensitive. Because the effect of this medicine wear off in ten days to two weeks, Tsuji has to withdraw from the US Open.

The search for the next target, a "number nine", continues. Kogoro says he can't think of anyone but he does know someone with an eight, Kohei Sawaki. Therefore, Megure, Shiratori, Ran, Conan and Kogoro visit Sawaki at home to warn him. He shows them around and presents his large wine collection to them. Conan has a look through Sawaki's apartment and notices a dent in the floor. Sawaki explains he dropped a wine bottle. When asked about his plans for the next couple of days, Sawaki explains that he is supposed to meet Kazuyoshi Asahi in his not-yet-opened complex AquaCrystal to discuss the restaurant Asahi plans to open in the building.

Shiratori suddenly notices that Asahi has a nine in his name.

[[File:Movie 2-4.jpg|thumb|200px|The Aquacrystal]]

Everyone joins Sawaki for his meeting in the AquaCrystal restaurant. To their alarm, '''Nana''' (seven) Osanai, Minoru '''Ni'''shina (two), Eimei '''Shishi'''do and Peter '''Ford''' (his last name sounds like "four") are also waiting to board the monorail to the main building, all claim they have been summoned by Asahi. On the way to the restaurant, they also notice there is a three in Nin'''zabu'''ro Shiratori's name. Ran is anxious when she realises Shin'''ichi''' could also be a target as "ichi" means "one".

Osanai and Nishina get into an argument. Osanai complains that a restaurant that Nishina recommended in his book was actually terrible and that he has no taste at all.
She wants to challenge the critic once they arrive at the restaurant and gets him to taste a wine without looking, making him guess the type of grape. Nishina says it's a Chambertin but is wrong.
As sommelier, Sawaki takes on the challenge as well and correctly detects a Beaujolais Moulin-a-vent.

Everyone decides to get something to drink while they wait for Asahi to join them. Conan gets a box of juice for Ran and is surprised to see Kogoro help himself to a juice as well.
When Conan goes back to the storeroom, he notices Sawaki with chili powder on his hand, apparently trying to taste it.

The guests decide to explore the spacious wine cellar belonging to the restaurant. While they look for a wine, Sawaki narrowly avoids getting shot by an arrow, a trap with Eight of Spades apparently set by Jo Murakami.

The police worry that Asahi might already be dead.

As the guests go back upstairs to the restaurant and prepare to leave, Asahi's dead body suddenly floats past them in the fish tank. Nana yells out in panic.
Asahi has a Nine of Spades on his chest.

Kogoro decides to tell everyone about the ongoing investigation, saying he fears Jo Murakami, who has recently been released from prison, might target all of them.

Conan notices Nana behaving strangely when Kogoro tells them about Murakami and asks her about it.
Dejected, Nana reveals that she caused a serious accident three months ago. She was driving recklessly, as usual, and hit a motorcycle whose driver suffered serious injuries.
Panicking, she fled the scene before the emergency services and the police arrived.

The group heads for the emergency exit, which, to their dismay, has been blocked with cement. They decide to spread out to look for alternative exits and leave Nana with Ran and Conan in the restaurant. Conan wants to sneak off to help look for the emergency exit but Ran catches him. There is a sudden blackout which makes Nana panic. Conan notices a pink light and realizes her nail polish is actually fluorescent paint.

The power comes back on and Nana lies dead on the ground. She has been stabbed. Conan immediately notices something unusual. On her body there are two playing cards- the seven and the Joker of Spades, the culprit must be right-handed according to the handprint on Nana's back and the wine cork Nana had been playing with is missing.

}}

Conan sees the handprint on Nana's back and realises it has been left by someone who is right-handed.
This effectively excludes Jo Murakami who is left-handed.

Conan goes to get everyone something to drink from the storage and hands them glasses with mineral water. While watching them, he realises who actually committed the murders.
Just as he does so, a bomb causes the lights to shut down once again and a second bomb breaks the fish tank, causing the restaurant to flood.

Everyone swims for their lives. Kogoro has to save Nishina who can't swim.

They eventually make it to a helicopter launchpad and Conan, terrified, realises Ran is missing.

Ran's feet got caught in the wheels of a car that was left in the restaurant. Conan swims back and dives to help her out but gets stuck as well. He falls unconscious but Ran helps him by giving him oxygen in form of a kiss before she passes out as well. Conan uses his elastic suspenders to move the car and helps Ran back to the surface. Sawaki Point to the floating Two to Six of Spades.

[[File:Movie 2-6.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan knocks out Kogoro and starts his deduction.]]

Sawaki tries to resuscitate Nishina but Shiratori blocks him and gives Nishina CPR instead.

Conan hits Kogoro with his stun-watch and presents his deductions.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan explains that the murderer must be right-handed because of the handprint left on Nana's back. This means Murakami can't be the serial killer, he is left-handed.

The actual serial killer is '''Kohei Sawaki'''.

Sawaki suffers from Ageusia, a neurological disorder that takes someone's sense of taste away completely. Conan explains he first became suspicious when he saw Sawaki tasting chili powder, something a sommelier who relies on his good sense of taste would never do. To prove his theory, he slipped salt into Sawaki's glass when he brought everyone glasses of mineral water and knew he was right when Sawaki didn't react after he drank. Nana also managed to slip the cork that she drew on in Sawaki's pocket when he stabbed her, Conan throw 5 Cards of Spades (2-6♠️) to Sawaki as well as the Ace of Spades (A♠️) that stands for Shinichi.

Sawaki confesses. He explains Nana was responsible for the accident that caused his incurable condition and that he also wanted to take revenge on Tsuji, Asahi and Nishina. Tsuji requested Sawaki's services for a party and proceeded to make fun of him and belittle him in front of his guests, Asahi had priceless wines in his collection and had no idea how to take care of them and Nishina claimed to be an expert in wines but, according to Sawaki, everything he wrote in his books about wines was entirely wrong.

Sawaki says only those four were his actual targets, he attacked everyone else because he wanted to frame Jo Murakami for the murders. He set a trap for himself in the wine cellar to further remove suspicion. The bombs were planted to kill Nishina by drowning as Sawaki knew Nishina couldn't swim and he hoped to kill everyone else in the flooded restaurant should they not make it back to shore as well. He had the idea to frame Murakami when he accidentally ran into the former convict in front of Kogoro's detective agency. Murakami explained he wanted to apologise to Kogoro for his crimes and especially for taking Eri hostage. Sawaki saw a cheap scapegoat, invited Murakami to his home, got him drunk and strangled him.

[[File:Movie 2-7.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan about to shoot.]]
Shiratori corners Sawaki and points his gun at him. Conan notices his hands are shaking and worries that Shiratori might accidentally hit Ran if he shoots with unsteady hands. Shiratori drops his gun and confers with Megure, preparing to take Sawaki down. Sawaki notices and demands Conan bring the gun to him. As Conan walks up to Sawaki, he finally realises why Kogoro ended up injuring Eri ten years ago. An injured hostage is a burden for the kidnapper and he wanted to make Murakami let go of her. Conan decides to do the same, firing the gun and lightly grazing Ran's shoulder. Sawaki lets go of her and Ran faints from hypothermia and exhaustion. Kogoro takes Sawaki down and helps Conan stop Ran from sliding down the rooftop. Sawaki wants to kill himself but Kogoro stops him, saying he has to face the consequences of his crimes.

A rescue helicopter arrives and takes everyone back to shore. Kogoro suddenly remembers he is scared of heights when they are up in the air.

Ran is sent to hospital to be treated for hypothermia. She keeps holding on to the Ace of Spades, saying "Shinichi protected me".

When she recovers, Conan and Ran go to visit Eri and Ran tells her mother she now knows why she separated from Kogoro.
Eri says that is only half of the story. Kogoro and she went home after her wound was treated and Eri started preparing dinner for her family.
Kogoro, in his "charming" way, wanted to tell her to take it easy and rest, but what he actually said is "I won't be able to eat anything, your cooking is disgusting."
Eri was furious, packed up her things and left her husband that same night.

Ran and Conan share a sheepish grin. They both know Eri is anything but a good cook.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] reminisces about [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and her enjoying the fountain at [[Tropical Land]].

A while later, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], using his bowtie, calls Ran as Shinichi from a phone booth. Ran asks Shinichi if he really can't find the time to meet her at Tropical Land again and before Conan can answer, he sees the rest of the Detective Boys walking by, saying "it's no fun doing this without Conan", so Shinichi hangs up before replying to Ran.

Conan greets his friends and the Detective Boys excitedly tell him they have a new riddle and are confident Conan won't be able to figure this out. Conan does so, to their dismay, and they decide to go visit Professor Agasa together. [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] wants to cross the street when the traffic light blinks green, but a police officer stops him, explaining that he should wait because a blinking green light will turn red any second. Conan and his friends decide to wait for the next green light while the police officer goes to the next phone booth to make a call. The traffic light turns green but just as the Detective Boys reach the other side of the road, a man with an umbrella pulls out a gun and shoots the police officer. The culprit runs away and Conan chases after him but loses him in the crowd. Conan hurries to the dying officer and asks if he had any idea who shot him. The man gasps, reaches for his notebook and sinks back, dead.

}}

The Detective Boys are taken to police headquarters as witnesses and they are asked to describe the attacker. This is of little help to anyone because Ayumi, [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and Genta remember him fundamentally differently. Ayumi claims the culprit was a middle-aged man, Genta says it was a young man with a black umbrella and Mitsuhiko remembers seeing a woman with a green umbrella. Conan deduces that the culprit's raincoat and umbrella were both a shade of gray, and remembers the umbrella was in their right hand, showing that the culprit was left-handed.

A while leater a woman finds another police officer, [[Minor law enforcement#Yoichiro Shiba|Yoichiro Shiba]], murdered in a parking lot. Shiba held his police notebook in his left hand.

}}

The police now suspect a serial killer is targeting officers. The following morning, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] calls [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and asks about the state of the investigation, Megure abruptly ends the conversation, saying that he is busy. Kogoro thinks the inspector was acting strange.

Megure meets [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Inspector Shiratori]] and implores him to keep any information about the case strictly confidential.

In the evening, Megure, his officers, Conan, Ran, Kogoro, Sonoko and Eri attend a party for Shiratori's younger sister who recently got married. Kogoro approaches Megure again, thinking the inspector might be more forthcoming when he isn't in the office but Megure still keeps quiet. Conan thinks Megure must know something confidential. Therefore, Kogoro and he decide to blackmail [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] into sharing more details about the case, telling him they will inform [[Miwako Sato|Detective Sato]] that Takagi has a crush on her. Takagi panics and informs Conan and Kogoro that the second victim also held his police notebook in his dying moments. At this point, Shiratori arrives and leads Takagi away, saying that this is "as far as it goes" and the rest is "need not to know" for Kogoro. Conan deducts that the culprit could be a police officer.

[[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] and Ran chat to [[Eri Kisaki|Eri]] about her engagement with Kogoro.

At some point in the party, Sato goes to the bathroom and Ran follows her. While they are in the bathroom, there is a sudden blackout. Ran looks for a flashlight when, suddenly, the culprit appears, wielding a transparent umbrella and fires at her. Sato throws herself in the path of the bullet to protect Ran and collapses on the floor. Ran sees the culprit's face, who quickly realises that and escapes. Ran frantically runs over to Sato and, at this moment, she notices blood on her hands and faints as well, panicking that she was responsible for Sato getting shot.

| description = Sato protected Ran from the culprit. The culprit shot Sato with the gun and ran away.
}}

Sato and Ran are rushed to hospital and their friends and colleagues follow.

Megure speaks to the surgeon who performed an emergency operation on Sato. Kogoro asks Megure about Sato and Megure says the surgeon told him a bullet struck close to Sato's heart, she is in critical condition and it is currently only 50% sure that she will survive. While Kogoro and Conan try to process this shocking news, Sonoko, who had been keeping watch on Ran, runs to get them, looking panicked. Ran woke up but Sonoko says she is acting strange.

Doctor Kyosuke Kazato, a psychologist, examines Ran and explains to her family that Ran has [[Wikipedia: Retrograde amnesia|retrograde amnesia]] from the shock. She can't remember anything that happened that day and can't recognise her friends and family members, but she does not seem to have any brain damage. Kogoro presses Megure to finally let him have all the information about the serial killer and Megure relents.

He starts off by telling everyone about a surgeon named Tamotsu Jinno who was found dead.

{{InfoBox Crime

| description = Tamotsu Jinno, a notorious surgeon, apparently got drunk and committed suicide in his own apartment because of a lawsuit filed against him. His sister Tamaki insisted her brother would never kill himself just because of a malpractice suit and claimed he was murdered.
}}

Police investigated Jinno's death. The lead investigator was Chief Inspector [[Minor law enforcement#Nobukatsu Tomonari|Nobukatsu Tomonari]]: his subordinates were Narasawa, Shiba, and Sato.
While on a stakeout, Tomonari had a heart attack but insisted his officers to leave him alone, telling them not to worry. Sato followed Tomonari but could only stay with him as he died. Narasawa and Shiba continued their observation and realised that the son of Chief Superintendent Odagiri, Toshiya, was among their targets.

After Tomonari's death, the Jinno case was abruptly ruled a suicide.

The investigation was reopened after Narasawa and Shiba were killed and Sato was attacked.

Conan and Kogoro look after Ran. Conan realises Ran might have seen the culprit's face and worries that Ran could be the next target.

As she is, apart from her amnesia, in good health, Ran is discharged from the hospital. Kogoro and Eri take her home by car. It rained quite a bit during the previous night and there are puddles everywhere. Ran wants to get out of the car but a puddle on the ground makes her panic. Kogoro covers it and helps her leave the car. He leads Ran upstairs and reintroduces her to his office and their apartment. Ran seems to fixate on a picture of Shinichi on the wall. Kogoro, Eri and Conan try to help her regain her memory for a while but to no avail.

The following morning, the Detective Boys visit Ran and declare they are her new bodyguards. [[Ai Haibara|Ai]] wistfully ponders if it wouldn't be better if Ran never regained her memory. Ran often looks at the photo of Shinichi with a strange expression and asks Conan why Shinichi seems so familiar to her.

Eri arrives and takes her daughter shopping. Conan joins them. While they wait for the metro, the culprit, who secretly follow them, suddenly attacks and pushes Ran onto the rail tracks.

{{InfoBox Crime

| description = The killer attempts to kill Ran by pushing her into the railway but Conan manages to save her.
}}

Conan just about manages to save Ran from being run over by the incoming metro and they take Ran to the hospital to get examined. Doctor Kazato worries that Ran might now be too scared to regain her memory.

Conan throws all his energy into the case and speaks to everyone related to Tamotsu Jinno. This gives him the final clue and he now knows who the murderer is.

Everyone goes to Tropical Land in a further attempt to help Ran recover from her amnesia. When they arrive, Ran remembers Shinichi buying them a can of Coca-Cola each and surprising her when he pressed the cold can to her cheek.
Takagi leaves for the bathroom and a mascot of the amusement park suddenly starts following Ran. The Detective Boys chase after the mascot and make it trip. Kogoro tells the mascot to take the head piece off his costume - it is Makoto Tomonari, the dead Chief Inspector's son. Kogoro searches Tomonari's pockets and finds a knife, accusing him of planning to kill Ran. Tomonari wants to explain himself but at that moment, Takagi arrests him.

The Detective Boys celebrate and Kogoro thanks them for saving his daughter's life. He then tells Ran that he is going to join Takagi when he questions Makoto and that Ran should stay at the park and enjoy herself.

At the nearest police station, Makoto is finally able to tell his side of the story to Kogoro, Takagi and two other officers. He says he wasn't after Ran but actually wanted to speak to Kogoro because he feared for his life. Because he didn't want to be recognized, he dressed up as the Tropical Land mascot and he carried the knife for his own protection.

The officers realize his story is true and the actual culprit is still out there. Kogoro worries about Ran's safety.

At Tropical Land, everyone watches the nightly costume parade when the culprit takes aim at Ran once again. [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] protects her and ends up with a small wound as he pushes her aside.

Conan rushes to Ran's help and a chase for the culprit begins. Conan's father taught him how to drive a boat in Hawaii.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The chase comes to a head in front of an artificial volcano. Conan presents his deductions to the culprit, none other than '''Kyosuke Kazato''', the psychiatrist who treats Ran for her amnesia. Jinno and Kazato once worked together as surgeons. During a surgery, Jinno, who was drunk, injured Kazato, cutting his hands with a scalpel. Kazato could not use his hands with the precision a surgeon needed and had to abandon his promising career. He murdered Jinno to get revenge for this incident. He then kept on killing every police officer investigating Jinno's death to cover his tracks. He now wants Ran dead because she clearly saw his face when he shot at Sato.

Conan and Ran escape together, sliding through a hole in the ground and run to a lava lake. Ran wonders why Conan keeps protecting her. Conan says: "I love you so much my darling, more than anything in the world."

They suddenly end up at the exact fountain Ran and Shinichi went to on their date so many months ago.

Kazato catches up with them and tries to shoot Conan.

Upon seeing Conan in danger, Ran suddenly snaps out of her amnesia and tells Kazato she now remembers everything that happened in the bathroom and that Sato tried to save her life. Then, using the moment of surprise, she disables Kazato with a few karate kicks. The police arrive and arrest the serial killer. While they take Kazato away, Megure gets a phone call from the hospital: Sato is awake and will fully recover from her surgery.

Superintendent Odagiri wonders who Conan is and Conan says "need not to know, Superintendent - I'm just a boy."

* '''Motive'''
Kazato had a promising career as a surgeon until Jinno cut his left wrist with a scalpel when they performed an operation together. Kazato, who is left-handed, quit his career and switched to psychiatry. He also tried to re-train himself as a right-hander. Eventually, he decided to get his revenge on Jinno and asked him to meet up with him. They got drunk together and Kazato asked Jinno if his injury had been an accident. Jinno smugly told Kazato that he did it on purpose. Kazato, knowing Jinno was facing a malpractice lawsuit, killed Jinno because he knew the police would rule his death a suicide with this information.
When the Jinno murder case was reopened years later, Kazato killed every officer working on it to ensure his involvement in the death of Jinno wouldn't come out. He began targeting Ran once she became his patient.

* '''Conclusion'''
Chief Superintendent Odagiri orders his men to also arrest his son Toshiya. Toshiya was an accomplice of Jinno's, he smuggled drugs out of the hospital where Jinno worked and sold them.

At home, Ran tells Conan how lovely it was of him to help her get her memory back with these exact words, revealing that Kogoro said the same to Eri when he proposed.
Conan is horrified that he had the same idea as that "stupid old drunkard".</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Kogoro goes undercover at Beika Sports Center: stalking a man named Shoichiro Hitomi who is negotiating with a rich man by the swimming pool. After the negotiation failed, the man enters the sport club's restroom while Kogoro receives a call from Ran and Conan. The two informs him that since he won't be back for the lunch, they decide to go and have "cheap and unlimited buffet" by themselves at Viking which causes Kogoro's stomach to growl. At the same time, the target exits the restroom with a serious expression, worrying Kogoro. He follows Mr. Hitomi to Beika Hotel and witnesses him calling someone with a payphone. However, he runs into Ran and Conan who informs him that they are having lunch at the hotel. The three spy on Mr.Hitomi who repeatedly glances at the reception when a young woman asks the employee if he has a package from a man named Manabu Anzai. Later, as Ran and Conan are eating in the restaurant, they witness Mr.Hitomi falling off the building.

{{InfoBox Crime

| image = EP364-365b Case.jpg

| time = 12:15 PM
| suspects =
| description = As Ran and Conan are having lunch, Shoichiro Hitomi falls to death from the Kaoru Minamizato's room.
}}

The police soon arrive and take away Mr. Hitomi's body. Kogoro summarizes the situation before the accident to Megure: he was riding the elevator with the victim and Minamizato when the victim left on the ninth floor. Kogoro quickly followed him to the stairway and witnessed him forcing his way into Minamizato's room and attacked her. He broke the door down and saw the unconscious Minamizato on the floor and Hitomi attempting to escape through the balcony. The man slipped, and fell to his doom.

{{InfoBox Crime

| cause-death = Blunt force trauma
| cause-death-label = Injury
| suspects = Shoichiro Hitomi
| suspects-label = Culprit
| description = Minamizato was attacked by Hitomi shortly before the latter fell to death.
}}

Megure interrogates Minamizawa who denies having any connection with her attacker/the victim. They find out that the last person who made a call with the victim was his sister-in-law, Kanako, at 11:20 AM. Afterwards, Minamizawa asks the group to leave. At the lobby, Conan points out that despite having a mobile phone, the victim was using the payphone in the hotel prior to the accident. As they're conversing, Megure arrives and informs the three of the death of Hitomi's twin brother at Haido Mansion.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = EP364-365c Case.jpg
| location = Haido Mansion
| victim = Takehiko Hitomi
| age = 45 years old
| time = 12:15 PM
| suspects = Kaoru Minamizato and Kanako Hitomi
| cause-death = Blunt force trauma with wrench
| description = Around the same time of Hitomi's death, his twin brother Takehiko was murdered.
}}

Kogoro reveals that the person who hired him was Takehiko Hitomi as he suspected that his twin brother was impersonating as him and engaging in illegal businesses. He also found out that the man had a huge amount of debt. Although they think that the two cases are separate, they decide to head to the site of murder. The crime scene showed that the murderer broke in through the window to rob the house, and that the house key is a special one that cannot be duplicated easily. They interrogate Kanako, who informs them that she was at Beika City before returning home and witnessing her murdered husband. Kanako reveals that she gave her brother-in-law her spare key and her phone number as she wants them to reconcile after the two fought due to their father's will of leaving the company to Takehiko. She also reveals that she was called to Beika Station by Shoichiro at 12:30 PM but he never came. From the information, they conclude that the two cases are not connected and are just synchronicity. However, Conan still has his doubts about the attempted murder of Minamizato and her unknown connection with the two victims.

==== Part 2 ====
Recalling that Minamizato was at the lobby asking about a package from Anzai, the three head to her room to question her about the man's identity when a man in sunglasses attempted to murder her with an ash tray.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Attempted Murder

| victim = Kaoru Minamizato
| cause-death = Bashing with Ashtray
| cause-death-label = Attack Types
| age = 25 years old
| suspects = Manabu Anzai
| description = Minamizato is almost murdered by a man in sunglasses but is saved due to Kogoro, Ran, and Conan's intervention. Unfortunately, Ran's kick misses the man and knocks out Kogoro instead. The man uses the commotion to kick Ran onto Conan before escaping.
}}

At the hospital, Minamizato reveals that she was in a relationship with Anzai and they were thinking about marriage. However, she lost all contact with him half a year ago after giving him a huge amount of cash and came to Tokyo to find out about his whereabouts after some people told her that he was last seen in Tokyo. Kogoro concludes that the man must be a gold digger who is only after her money. Also, the picture of Anzai matches with the man Kogoro spotted in the Sports Centre where he tailed Shoichiro, which the fitness instructor reveals that the man also went under another alias known as Tanizaki. They also witness him with another woman who is clearly targeted by him for her money. With this revelation, Conan finally connects the relationships of all the people involved with the two cases and begins the deduction.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The murder of Takehiko was committed by '''Manabu Anzai''', whose real name is later revealed to be '''Chiezo Negura''' in a newspaper, who coerced Shoichiro into an exchange murder. The plan was for Shoichiro to call Kanako's outside to create an alibi for himself after he murdered Minamizato, while Anzai used Takehiko's house key received from Shoichiro to enter the house and kill him. Afterwards, he broke the window in the study to conceal the crime as a robbery. However, Shoichiro relented and failed in his part which forced him to carry out the act himself. His motive is to silence Minamizato before his gold digger history is exposed.
</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Manabu Anzai car driving with lady is a Red 2000 Ford Mustang Cobra GT [SN95] convertible.
* The pastry shop at Beika Station from [[The City Crows#Trivia|The City Crows]] reappears in the first part.
* The idea of murder exchange is based on the movie ''Strangers on a Train'', which is a 1951 American psychological thriller film noir. The story concerns two strangers who meet on a train, a young tennis player and a charming psychopath. The psychopath suggests that because they each want to "get rid" of someone, they should "exchange" murders, and that way neither will be caught. The psychopath commits the first murder, then tries to force the tennis player to complete the bargain.

==== Part 1 ====
Several years ago, the Fox known as the best assassin in the country had killed a president of a major company. However this assassination took place while his target was driving as a result, his car swerved into the path of a school bus carrying elementary school children. This caused a collision, that claimed the life of the young 5 year old Chisato Ushio, due to this unintended casualty The Fox went into hiding.

In the present, Kogoro is hired to capture the Fox, the client being Ushio Bunzo, a millionaire who once hired the Fox to kill him since he was supposedly about to die. But he found out from his doctor that he would live to see another day, as a result he wanted to back off the deal but he had no way of contacting the Fox, instead he wants to have the Fox captured.

Bunzo asks Kogoro to follow him alongside Ran and Conan in a hiking trip that the Fox is supposed to attend as well. Kogoro is about to decline when suddenly Conan notices a glint that is coming a sniper (apparently The Fox) who is aiming at them from a nearby rooftop. Conan manages to push him out of the way and save him, after firing wildly into the office the shooter leaves. Kogoro is relieved but at the same time distressed about his windows, Bunzo offers to pay him for damages as long as he helps him and he accepts.

After arriving at the entrance of the hiking trail, Kogoro along with Conan and Ran act like they are meeting Bunzo for the first time while meeting the others hikers who are: Wataru Takanashi, Shingo Nose, Kyoko Saegusa, Akira Kawabe and their guide Kenichi Hirai. They keep a close eye on these people as they believe one of them is the infamous Fox.

They then follow their guide Hirai through the hiking trail, along the way Bunzo nearly falls down a deep ravine after almost tripping off a cliff. Bunzo believes that Hirai tried to kill him but quickly calms down after Kogoro talks to him. Afterwards they decide to take a break and rest before they start to hike again, while Hirai leaves to check out their current location.

Ran and Conan discuss who The Fox could be as there are many suspicious individuals among them. Suddenly they hear a scream and check to see where it came from, they find Wataru Takanashi who directs them towards Hirai's body who apparently fell off the cliff. When Kogoro accuses Takanashi of murdering Hirai he suddenly panics and asks to be let go, leaving the others stunned and confused.

Conan and Kogoro climb down and examine Hirai's body where they find that he landed on the back of his head on a rock. However Conan notices that Hirai has a gash on his cheek and a knife nearby with some blood on it. Meaning someone threw this knife at him and although Hirai managed to barely dodge it while sustaining a cut on his face, he lost his balance and fell to his death. Conan and Kogoro both wonder if the killer who they believe to be The Fox is among them.

Afterwards they make it to a cabin and meet the caretaker there, whose name is Juukichi Iwata an elderly man that startles them. He invites them in and prepares food for them, and learns from them that one of their members was killed and he comments that it was most likely no accident. Later the group discuss who the murderer could be and Takanashi is labeled the criminal. He then suddenly pulls out his large hunting knife and throws it near one of the members of the group then re-holsters it.

During this exchange Bunzo accidentally reveals Kogoro real name and identity to the other members. One of them recognizes Kogoro as the famous Sleeping Kogoro which startles the couple Akira and Kyoko, who Conan deems suspicious.

While they are sleeping an unknown person approaches Kogoro and plunges their knife into the pillow which startles Kogoro enough to wake him up. Bunzo, Kogoro, and Conan give chase after believing that Takanashi is the culprit. They track him down after hearing him screaming, and learn that he is actually Claustrophobic explaining his strange demeanor and attitude. While traveling back to the cabin Takanashi explains why he became claustrophobic in the first place.

When they are near the cabin, they suddenly hear Ran screaming, and fearing the worst rush towards the cabin.

==== Part 2 ====
The others rush to the cabin and are relieved to see Ran unharmed, she apologizes saying that there is trouble and directs them toward Kyoko Saegusa who is dead with a knife in her back. Akira Kawabe is mourning her death apologizing for not being able to protect her. Shingo Nose asks what is going on, as it is obvious that Kogoro knows more then he’s letting on.

Kogoro decides to tell them the truth, he reveals that he came to the hiking trip to hunt the infamous assassin The Fox. Although Bunzo chastises Kogoro for revealing the truth, he justifies this saying that two of their members are dead enough is enough. However as they are talking Shingo reveals himself to be right handed just like The Fox. Kogoro believes and deduces that Shingo is The Fox but he laughs this off saying that he is wrong.

But Kogoro doesn't believe him stating that he is the only one capable and he is also right handed just like The Fox. Bunzo believing this grabs Shingo stating that he has business with him. Conan investigates and figures out that the one who stabbed Kyoko was her lover Akira Kawabe, as they were hugging he looped one of his arms around her back and stabbed her with a knife. Ran demonstrates this together with Conan.

Conan also finds Kyoko's backpack filled with bundles of cash, with some of them stained with blood. Just then Takanashi tells them that two of their members are missing: the caretaker Junnichi and Akira. A landslide occurs and they hear screaming nearby, so Conan, Ran, and Kogoro go to check it out. They find Akira and help him to safety, he tells them that he took the caretaker hostage but he ran off as soon as the landslide occurred.

Conan and the others return back to the cabin and learn that Bunzo left to help as well but hasn't returned. Kogoro is confident believing they have captured The Fox who he believes is Akira Kawabe, however he denies this saying that he hasn’t killed anyone. But Conan looks through Akira's bag and finds more bundles of cash with blood on them, Kogoro tries to get Akira to tell them where that bloody money came from but he remains silent.

Just then Takanashi tells them that he has managed to fix the radio and as a result the following news report airs: "The police are still searching for the suspects who have killed and robbed a rich man in his home, the suspects are said to be a man and woman in hiking clothes". As they listen Kogoro notices Akira panicking and puts two and two together realizing that Akira and Kyoko are the robbery-murderers on the run.

Akira seeing that he has been cornered admits being one of two suspects the police are looking for in the robbery-murder case. He also admits to killing Kyoko after learning that Kogoro was a famous detective and believing he was looking for them. Kyoko had wanted them to turn themselves in having enough of being a fugitive, however Akira refused saying they still had a chance to escape.

But Kyoko still insisted on turning themselves in, Akira pretending to agree hugged Kyoko and then stabbed her in the back just the way Conan had deduced. Akira said it was Kogoro's fault for Kyoko having to die, because he had hid the true reason for him being there scaring them unnecessarily. The group then sees that the caretaker has a phone and fax with him and it uses a landline meaning they have a chance of calling for help.

But when Kogoro tries to use the phone, he hears no dial tone. Conan wondering why suddenly sees the landline cable has been severed via a knife. Conan then deduces that the caretaker Iwata is in fact The Fox, the assassin they came for. Conan believes that the fake caretaker also killed their guide because he could've figured out that he was a fake, as he and the real caretaker have been acquaintances for quite some time.

Conan also realizes that Bunzo is after The Fox because of his own vendetta and goes to find him.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The Fox was responsible for Hirai's death and the one who was responsible for Saegusa's death was '''Akira Kawabe'''. However, the whole trip was a gambit from Bunzo, who wanted to ''kill the Fox with his own hands''. He never was ill or willing to die: it was all feigned to get close to the Fox and murder him in retaliation for having accidentally caused the death of his beloved daughter Chisato, a girl around Conan's (physical) age. Two years ago, during one of his assassinations, his target's car crashed into a school bus and she was the only fatal victim.

The Fox was disguised as '''Juukichi Iwata''', the cottage caretaker, and Hirai was killed because he regularly traversed and knew the real Iwata, so he was a potential spanner in the Fox's plans. At the same time, Saegusa's death was a completely unrelated incident; Kawabe killed her to silence her after they both committed a robbery-murder.

Bunzo figured out that Iwata was The Fox, after witnessing Iwata pushing Akira down the cliff during the landslide and running off despite the fact that he was a old man. This made Bunzo realize who his adversary was and that he had to kill him. Bunzo also reveals that the sniper who fired into Kogoro's office was in fact a friend of his who owed him a favor, he had asked his friend to shoot into the office to scare Kogoro into helping him.

Bunzo manages to confront "Iwata" aka the Fox, furiously calling him out for Chisato's death. Conan stops Bunzo by showing him the picture of Chisato that he kept in his wallet and begging him to not taint his hands, seeing this and remembering his daughter he decides to drop the gun. Which is then picked up by The Fox who tries to kill them, but Conan kicks the gun out of his hands via his super kick shoes.

The Fox tries to flee but is intercepted by Kogoro who judo throws him, in the process The Fox is revealed to have been wearing a disguise and was actually a lot younger then he appeared to be.

The Fox, Bunzo, and Akira are arrested, but before leaving Bunzo thanks Conan for stopping him and leaves with a smile.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Ran sends a message to Shinichi's phone only to find Conan's phone has also received the message causing her to suspect Conan calling Shinichi for help on cases. A woman named Tomoko Kariya hires Kogoro to search for her cellphone which contains messages of her affair. She attempted to call her phone and someone always hangs it up. She suspects that her either her father-in-law, brother-in-law, or husband has her phone. After questioning the three, Tomoko shows up with her phone, saying that she has found it on her own and sends Kogoro away promising to pay for his time. While heading to Professor Agasa's house to tell him about Ran's suspicion of Conan being Shinichi (despite Ran suspecting Conan calling Shinichi for help on cases), Conan learns from the news that Tomoko was found dead in her car after being stabbed and bludgeoned.

}}

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan return to the Kariya home with the police to investigate. The three have established alibis: The father was heard behind the shōji, the brother's shadow was seen by the shōji, and the husband's pipe smoking was smelt. After ruling out the man having an affair with Tomoko, the police's investigation leads them to believe the case is somehow related to a murder twelve years ago which was done by Eisuke Kariya, the third family son who disappeared after being suspected for the murder of his fiancé.
The man, whom Tomoko had an affair with, turns out to have an alibi.
Strange things had been happening in the house lately. An old friend of Eisuke had called Tomoko, to ask about phone calls he has been getting from her cellphone.
With Conan's help the police concluded that the thief, who took the phone, must have been someone who wouldn't be disturb for a long time, which is needed to figure out the password to the phone. While Conan is thinking, Ran waits for Conan to call Shinichi and when he does Ran would get the phone and talk with Shinichi.

}}

Ran begins to think about Conan's personality and ends up suspecting that Conan is Shinichi.  Then another doorbell prank happened.
The maids reveal that twenty years ago, Eisuke called the family, asking to let Motoka stay for the night, since she miss her train, but his father Daisaku began yell at Motoka in the phone, accusing her of being unfaithful. No one knows how he found out about it, but Daisaku is very strict about infidelity, because his wife had been unfaithful to him, which resulted in a divorce.
The maids tells the police that Tsugutaka gets really upset about the doorbell pranks and of phone call prank, but strangely there is no call in the log. That get Conan thinking. He asks Ran if she had send a message. When Ran, in suspicious mode, says yes, Conan asks if she check the number before sending it. Ran says that she didn't need to check, since she was just re-sending the message she send this morning, but as she takes out her phone to and realize that she actually send a message to a completely different address, and Conan realize how Tomoko was able to find her phone.
Conan reveals that the person who has the cellphone is obviously inexperienced with one. Since cellphones weren't popularized until a decade ago, the one who had the phone is Eisuke. Conan reveals that one of the three is hiding Eisuke.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
From Conan's hints, Kogoro, Megure, and Ran are able to solve the case and unveal the culprit identity.

* The person who took Tomoko's cellphone is the third son '''Eisuke Kariya''', who went missing after the murder of his fiance's Motoka Aida. Because cellphone only became well known during the period of ten years before the present time, Eisuke, who has been in hiding for the whole 12 year, is not well-accustomed to its function compared to his family members, thus was unable to turn it off or turn its volume down when a mail was sent to it or a call was performed. If one of the three suspects has been assisting in hiding Eisuke somewhere inside the house, then they could've had him creating an alibi for them while they went out with Tomoko to the Temuzu River and killed her.

* First, they remove the father Daisaku from the suspect list, as it is impossible to create an alibi regarding the smell of curry in advance due the maids only changed the meal from stew to curry 10 minutes before serving. Since it is necessary to leave the house at least 30 minutes in order to get to the location and commit the crime, this rules out that Daisaku's voice was pre-recorded in advance.

* Next, they deduct that Tsugutaka was unlikely to be the murderer since he took the curry into his room long after the time of murder: if he wanted to create an alibi during the time of murder, having Eisuke taking the curry into the room or taking it inside by himself after returning from the crime scene would be a more reasonable option, else if the curry was left behind he would've become the prime suspect anyway. This leave only Shigehide as the possible suspect for the crime.

The group then confront Shigehide about the fact that he has been hiding his brother inside the house.

* Shigehide's novels are unnaturally old fashioned: none of the characters in his stories use cellphone, and characters with bleached hair also rarely appear, and only as antagonists and alike, meaning that Eisuke was actually the person who wrote the novels. Additionally, since Eisuke has been hiding inside the house's attic, then he must had heard the conversation between Tomoko and her husband and used it in one of his novel.

At this point, Eisuke reveals himself and confesses to stabbing his fiancée twelve years ago after learning of her affair, though he denies of bludgeoning her to death, tipping the group off that Shigehide was actually the person who murdered Motoka and not Eisuke due to the same murder method used in the two cases, and the motive was because he was Motoka's affair partner. Because the affair took place in the family, it was discovered by Daisaku who never left the house after he was injured in the accident. The reason Tomoko was murdered in the same way was because Shigehide was trying to frame Eisuke for the crime, and the reason he had been hiding Eisuke all these years was to prevent the truth that he was actually the person who bludgeoned her to death from coming to light.

Though Shigehide demands evidence connecting him to the murders, Ran reveals how Tomoko was able to find her cellphone so easily: she repeatedly sent a mail to her own cellphone with Ran's, and used the ringtone to locate it along with Eisuke. Tomoko had set her call ringtone the same as the house's phone, while the mail ringtone is the same as the doorbell in order to always find a suitable excuse to contact with her affair partner. Since the mail ringtone is now heard by them, this means that Shigehide has been hiding the Tomoko's cellphone inside his room, along with the knife used in the murder. The reason he didn't destroy the cellphone or throw it aways is because he need to confirm that Tomoko didn't expose his secrets to any of her friends and associates.

====Motive====
Shigehide confesses that he murdered Tomoko because she demanded ¥10 million in exchange for not exposing him about the fact that he had been passing off Eisuke's novel as his own and had murdered Eisuke's fiance and framed him for the crime. As for Motoko's murder twelve years ago, he didn't planned to kill her and only went to check on her after hearing that she was stabbed by Eisuke, intending to take her to the hospital. However, when Motoka blasted that she actually intended to marry one of the brothers for money and threatened to drive him to misery after the ordeal she had suffered, he became enraged and killed her. He also reveals that he might had killed Eisuke long ago to cover up the crime, hasn't it for that he loves to read Eisuke's novels and has always been anticipated to read the next chapter.

====Aftermath====
Later that night, Ran grabs a hold of Conan's phone when he drops it in the car and checks to see the message she sent to Shinichi is there.
</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Tomoko Kariya's car is an Iris Red Pearl 2001 Honda Fit (Honda Jazz) [GD].
* This is the first case that shows Conan's soccer ball cell phone strap.
* Sometimes in this case, Conan's cell phone appeared red, and other times, grayish.

== Manga to anime changes ==
[[File:398 Shinichi Adultery.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The censored scene.]]
* The scene of Ran's imagination of Shinichi and his "secret girlfriend" is changed to avoid sexual content: the manga has Shinichi and the girl sleeping naked in the same bed, while the anime has him goes out to buy a snack while the girl is in the car. Both scenes featuring the girl checking out Shinichi's cellphone. Also, the anime cut out the part at the Temuzu River in which Ran, in bad mood after Kogoro keep repeating the word "cheating", screams at him that it is not cheating because (she and Shinichi) are not married.
* The "secret girlfriend"'s appearance appears to be an amalgamation of Ai Haibara (upper hair) and Vermouth (long wavy hair).
* The anime doesn't include a moment during the car ride home in the end of the case, where Ran suggest that maybe Tomoko's husband had known about his wife having an affair, since he always got in a bad mood, whenever those 'pranks' happened.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan tranquilizes Sonoko and reveals the culprit to be '''Hiroshi Akimoto'''. A bit after 11:30 p.m., he returned to the tower with Nonaka, and pushed him over the railing. In order to distract Ran, Sonoko, Conan and Eda, he lied about a satellite which should have passed there in those moments, causing them to pay attention to the opposite side of the tower. And, about the one they saw who fall, it wasn't Nonaka, it was a doll tied onto the railing a bit next to where he was standing and quickly secured it with fishing string, but there are fresh marks on the railing. And then fifteen minutes after midnight the timer connected to the string dropped the doll. He used them to witness his location at the time by watching it with them, by making himself one of the witnesses of the accident: he created a seamless alibi. And also, the doll is under of his car, where he hurried to the location as fast as possible making sure to stop over it, easily concealing it from them. And while they were around the dead Nonaka, he moved the doll, made with an orange blanket with fishing string attached, into the car. Alost, he's the one who arrived at the tower but the last to approach the corpse. To make things worse for him, the picture taken by Akimoto had a shooting star, where this evidences that Nonaka's picture wasn't taken that day. Actually, he wanted to replicate the same photo, so he bought a camera like Nonaka. Then, went to the tower the day before and took two photos, unless he had the murder plan, he wouldn't have done so. And after killing Nonaka today, he set the doll, replaced the recent film from Nonaka's camera, replacing it with the prepared film. But, then there is a flaw to his trick with the fixed filming method, that was the shutter noise, after changing the film, he can't press the shutter, that means, the prepared pictures would be distorted. Also, when he saw "Nonaka" falling from the tower, he ordered to call only the police, instead of an ambulance too. Akimoto confesses and reveals Nonaka took the Star Pioneer for himself, despite collaborating, when it was his dream, even though he had to do co-research with someone else.

==== Aftermath ====
Sonoko wakes up and is congratulated by Ran for solving the case. Sonoko complains that she didn't get to see a shooting star and make a wish about finding a boyfriend.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Kazuhiko Eda's off-road is a 1994 Arles Blue Honda Crossroad Series I [LJ].
* Hiroshi Akimoto's van is a 1986 white Toyota HiAce Commuter [H50].

{{nihongo|'''Akemi Miyano'''|宮野明美|Miyano Akemi}}, also known by her alias as {{nihongo|'''Masami Hirota'''|広田雅美|Hirota Masami}}, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Akemi is the older sister of [[Shiho Miyano]], and both were members of the [[Black Organization]]. However, unlike her sister, Akemi was never considered a high ranking member. Akemi dated [[Shuichi Akai]] while he was infiltrating the Organization. Akemi was shot by Gin and killed after she performed a bank robbery. Although she dies in her first appearance, Akemi shows up numerous times throughout the series, mostly in episodes featuring Haibara, whom looks at [[Ran Mouri]] as a spitting image of her sister.

== Background ==
Akemi Miyano, the oldest child of [[Elena Miyano]] and [[Atsushi Miyano]], was born into the Black Organization approximately some 25 years before the current timeline.<ref name=age></ref> Unlike her younger sister [[Shiho Miyano]], Akemi was never considered a high ranking member of the Organization and managed to live a mostly normal life, traveling about freely and going to school and college like normal, despite being watched over by the organization. Both of her parents later died an accident while she was young, orphaning Akemi and Shiho. Although her sister became a highly ranked codenamed scientist, Akemi remained in close contact with Shiho and served as her lifeline to normalcy. She only involved herself into the organization to try get Shiho out of it.

At some point 13 years ago she attended Teitan Elementary School and graduated from it. She was in Class 6-A.<ref>File 1070</ref>

Some five years before the current timeline, Akemi met undercover FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] who was using the alias Dai Moroboshi. He planned to date Akemi in order to get close to Shiho Miyano so he could gain standing within the Black Organization as part of his mission. Although Shuichi initially was just using her, they wound up really falling in love. Akemi discovered Shuichi was an FBI agent and guessed his plan, but kept this knowledge secret even from him. Three years later, Shuichi's true allegiance was uncovered and he was ejected from the Organization. Akemi then revealed that she knew his secret, and that she wished to leave the Organization and date him seriously.

This did not happen because Akemi was unwilling to leave without her sister, and the Black Organization would not allow Shiho to go because her work on the [[APTX 4869]] project was extremely valuable. Although Shuichi stopped contacting Akemi for her safety, the Organization was planning to get rid of her anyway because her connection to Shuichi was considered a serious risk. The Organization could not simply eliminate her though because it would jeopardize Shiho's loyalty. The Black Organization finally put their plan to kill Akemi into motion two years later just after [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] had shrunk into [[Conan Edogawa|Conan Edogawa]].
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Akemi had a nurturing, kind, friendly, cheerful and outgoing personality, with a good sense of humor. Playful as a child, she enjoyed playing games and creating codes for other people, but never to hurt them. For example, she hid the work tools of her father's friends and happily watched as they panicked; however, she only wanted them to work less hard. Even though she knew of her elementary classmates’ mischievings, in the class memory capsule, she did not rat them out but simply wished everyone well. She was popular among classmates for her sweet nature. She appeared likable and well-adjusted considering that she had to change schools many times.

As an adult, she remained loving despite being in the Black Organization. She likely had to violate her moral code to complete criminal missions for them. However, she was strong-willed enough to arrange an escape deal for her and her sister. Although they rarely saw each other, she and her sister Shiho were very close and confided in each other. However, Shuichi says Akemi was always crying in the dark while pretending to be strong, suggesting that she had painful memories she did not want to burden other people with. Her selfless, nurturing, and slightly vulnerable personality reminds Shiho (as Haibara Ai) as well as Akai Shuichi of Ran Mouri.

Akemi was clever and calculating, given that she could plan a 1-billion-yen robbery. Her convincing disguise and acting eluded even Conan.

== Appearance ==
[[Image:Akemi Before (1).png|thumb|right|200px|As Masami Hirota]]
Akemi is often noted to be very similar to [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. Both Haibara and Shuichi get the feeling that they are alike. She is a pretty Japanese girl with long black hair and a medium height.

== Plot overview ==
=== ¥1,000,000,000 Robbery Case (Manga: [[Volume 2#.C2.A51.2C000.2C000.2C000 Robbery|013-016]], Anime: [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|13]]/[[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]]) ===
[[Image:Conan and Akemi manga.png|thumb|right|200px|Akemi's death in the manga.]]
The Organization's plan to silence Akemi was to pretend to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful one billion yen bank robbery, [[Gin]] told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her. Akemi hired two partners to help her. Kenzo Hirota, a Tokyoite with no family, would be the get-away driver, because he used to work as a taxi driver. An unnamed giant man would serve as muscle. The day before the mission, she send a text to Akai, explaining the situation and asked if he would want to go out with her for real, should she manage to get out of the organization.

Akemi and her two partners successfully pull off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Unfortunately, Kenzo Hirota then backstabs Akemi and the giant by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approach different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Akemi creates the alias Hirota Masami, borrowing from [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|a professor friend's name]], and changing her hairstyle so she appears to be a high school girl from Yamagata looking for her missing "father".<ref>Manga [[Volume 2]], file 4 (13): "The Missing Man "</ref> Akemi approaches the then-not-well-known Detective [[Kogoro]] at his office and convinces him to help her. Kogoro begins to search for the man's via his contacts.

[[Image:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Akemi's death in the anime.]]
Sometime while Kogoro is searching for Kenzo, Akemi meets with Shiho at a restaurant and describes Conan to her. Akemi tells Shiho that Conan lives in the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] near the [[Setting|Kudo house]] that Shiho had visited earlier (as part of a search to ensure Shinichi was really killed by APTX 4869) and that he has the composure of an adult. Shiho then asks Akemi to tell her about the dangerous mission that Akemi had just performed, but Akemi tells Shiho she is fine and that she should stop working on that drug and try to get a boyfriend instead.

With Conan and Ran's help, Kogoro finds Kenzo and "Hirota Masami" pretends to be overjoyed at their "reunion". Later that night, Akemi and the giant man confront Kenzo to take back the money. A fight breaks out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo to death against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hang Kenzo's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grab the cash, and leave for a hotel. Akemi slips some pills given to her by Gin into the giant's drink so she could take the money, unaware that they were laced with cyanide and would kill him instantly. With both of her partners dead, she hides the suitcases of money at the hotel's front desk and takes a taxi to meet Gin and [[Vodka]] at the shipping yard, with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] following closely behind.<ref name=manga>Detective Conan Manga Files 13 to 16</ref>

When she arrives at the meeting place, she tells Gin that she will only tell him where the money is after he frees her sister, but Gin goes back on his word, saying her sister is far too valuable to let go of. He gives her one last chance to cooperate, but she refuses and he shoots her. Conan arrives at the scene with her bleeding out. Akemi is one of the few characters in the show that knows Conan is [[Shinichi Kudo]], as he admits it to her while she is dying in front of him, while she tells him about the dangers of the Black Organization and tells him where the money is.<ref name=Akemi/> Akemi's death is ruled a suicide, as Gin's fingerprints were not found on the gun that killed her,<ref name=Akemi/> but her fingerprints were.<ref name=manga/>

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Shuichi Akai ===
{{main|Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano}}
[[Shuichi Akai]] and Akemi Miyano were lovers while he was infiltrating the [[Black Organization]]. Shuichi's original mission was to date Akemi Miyano in order to meet Shiho Miyano. Shuichi used Shiho's influence to gain rank in the Organization, intending to become trusted enough to meet with high level agents so the FBI could capture one for questioning. As [[James Black]] later recalls, although Shuichi's relationship with Akemi was merely a stepping stone, Shuichi actually fell in love with Akemi, and considered her his real girlfriend. Because of this he broke up with the woman (and felow agent) he dated until then, [[Jodie Starling]]; he cared deeply for Jodie, but since he had fallen for Akemi he didn't want to keep two parallel relationships.

How Akemi and Shuichi met in the manga is unknown, but in the anime, Shuichi Akai originally met Akemi by an intentional accident. She accidentally hit him with her car when he deliberately walked into the street in front of her in order to be hit by her.<ref>Episode 497</ref> Akemi helped take him to the hospital, watching over him until he was better. When he woke up, he felt no anger over what she did, and even asked for her name, to which a very flustered Akemi replied, while he told her his fake name: Dai Moroboshi. After this they began dating.
[[File:Akai and Akemi.png|right|thumb|200px|Shuichi asks Akemi why she didn't get away from him after knowing that he was just using her.]]
Sometime later, Akemi develops the suspicion that Shuichi really wasn't who he claimed to be. Later, due to a massive error by [[Andre Camel]], Shuichi is discovered by the rest of the Organization to be an FBI agent, leading to his expulsion. Shuichi confirms that he is an FBI agent to her. To Shuichi's surprise, Akemi doesn’t seem surprised by this, prompting Shuichi to ask why she never mentioned her suspicions about being used by him. Akemi subtly hints that it’s because she loves him. Initially, the Organization couldn’t take action against Akemi due to their need to secure her sister’s loyalty. However, two years later, they deemed the risk of her contact with Shuichi too great. They orchestrated a plan to eliminate her by staging a bank heist, knowing she would fail. Shortly before the heist, Akemi sent Shuichi a long text, asking if he would want to be her real boyfriend once she was finally free from the Organization<ref>[[Volume 58#File 599 - Akai's Past|File 599 - Akai's Past]]</ref>. After the heist, Akemi is killed by [[Gin]], and it is unknown how Shuichi responded if at all. Shuichi treasures her final text message, and keeps it in his phone many months after Akemi's death.

Akemi never learned before her death that Shuichi was actually her cousin.<ref>[[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!]]</ref>

=== Ai Haibara ===
Despite the fact that they couldn't see each other often, Akemi and her sister Shiho were very close to each other. Akemi had constantly tried to encourage the studious and workaholic Shiho to relax and find herself a boyfriend.

Akemi's death scarred her sister deeply. Much of Akemi's personality Shiho finds personified in [[Ran Mouri]] - perhaps this is the main reason why Shiho was first reluctant to accept her (due to the still-fresh pain of her loss), but eventually came to consider her as a surrogate sister.

=== Rei Furuya ===
Akemi seems to have known [[Rei Furuya]], and described him and his relationship with Shuichi to Shiho.This is not revealed yet. In the flashback during [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case]], it shows that Akemi and Rei met and knew each other from when they were children. They might be close. Akemi cared about Rei. However, according to Aoyama Gosho, Akemi did not remember Rei when she is a adult. This implies that when meeting each other in the black organization, Akemi did not realize that Bourbon was Rei. This protected the true person of Rei.

=== Akai Family ===
In [[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049]], the flashback conversations between Vermouth and Mary confirmed that Mary and Elena are sisters. So that Akemi is blood relatives with [[Akai family]].

== Speculation ==
=== Hidden P.S. ===
[[Image:Akemi's Text Message.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The last text message Akemi had sent Shuichi, before her death.]]
In the text message that Akemi Miyano sent to [[Shuichi Akai]] before she commits the bank robbery, aside from the main content, there is also a '''"P.S."''' shown below it, at the bottom left corner of his cell phone's screen. However, what Akemi wrote ''under'' that part (the things she wanted to say in the P.S.) has never been revealed to the readers (watchers).

There is a common speculation among the fans that Akemi has asked [[Shuichi Akai]] to protect the safety of her sister, [[Shiho Miyano]], in case the robbery she planned ends up in failure, or that the [[Black Organization]] decides to betray their promise, which is to let her and her sister leave if she succeeds. It is important to note that in the Manga File 810, Shuichi, while disguising as [[Subaru Okiya]], has mentioned in his mind about the promise he made with a certain '''"her"''', because of which he refuses to make [[Ai Haibara]] go with him by force.<ref>[[Volume 77|Volume 77, File 810, Page 16]]</ref> This woman whom Shuichi was referring to might have been his late girlfriend Akemi, and his promise with her might be relevant to the hidden content of the mysterious P.S.

== Background ==
Not much is known about this elderly and high ranking member of the organization, though we do know that he is very rich and finances the Black Organization's operations. He was a car company chairman. He knew Atsushi and Elena Miyano and have met Shiho, when she was a baby, og heard a lot about the research. He was tasked with and succeeded in murdering the politician Shigehiko Nomiguchi and making it look like an accident by shooting a chandelier in the dark and crushing him. Despite [[Vermouth]]'s help, Conan uncovered him as the murderer. His house was burnt down after he was killed by Gin.

== Personality ==
He is a loyal member who would have told Gin that Sherry had turned into a child and was now living as [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] if he hadn't been killed by Gin first. He also seemed a bit careless, since that he didn't ensure that there wasn't taken a picture of him committing the murder and expressing an interest to the police about hearing about the caller who tipped them, despite he should have consider that the police shouldn't give details about a tipper, if they had more information.

{{nihongo|'''Tequila'''|テキーラ|Tekīra}} is a [[Black Organization]] member who was killed by a bombing by accident. He works in the external division on computer software related development related tasks, presumably by recruiting, dealing with, and making exchanges with programmers.<ref name=CD237>Conan drill page 237</ref>

== Background ==
[[File:EP307 5.png|left|thumb|200px|Tequila as he leaves Itakura's office after being rejected, saying: "I don't need you anymore!"<ref>Manga, volume 37, file 377; anime episode 307.</ref>]]
Tequila was heard speaking in a Kansai dialect (Boston or New York accent in the [[Funimation]] dub) by [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. He is described by Conan as being very tall. Nothing much is known about him as he dies a few pages after he is introduced into the manga. Two years ago before Conan's encounter with Gin and Vodka, Tequila was negotiating with a famous computer system programmer [[Suguru Itakura]] and asked him if he could develop some software program that would be useful for the syndicate. Itakura described him in diary as someone who he won't want to meet ever again in his life. Ryusuke Soma, a game company executive described him as a suspicious large tall man with a big mustache. On the day of his death, he had a deal with a Mantendo game developer, Hideaki Nakajima. The deal was that Nakajima sold the organization a list of the world's top computer developers. The exchange happened that after both Tequila and Nakajima had check in their briefcases at a convention, they switch numbers and keys and afterwards claim their 'new' briefcases. However prior to the switch, a third party named Hironobu Takeshita, who had a grudge against Nakajima, put a bomb in his own briefcase and swapped keys and number secretly behind Nakajima's back to kill him with the bomb, so Tequila ended up the bomb instead and went to toilet to check the briefcase's contents and died.

== Personality ==
Being large in size, he usually intimidates people, which helps with his transactions. When he had his fateful encounter with Conan, he bumped into Conan and Hideaki Nakajima, knocking them to the floor. He didn't even apologize, and continued on his way. Also, when Conan pretended he dropped a 10 yen coin that had fallen beneath Tequila's shoe and really tried to stick a transmitter and bug on the sole of his shoe, Conan was hit hard by Tequila for annoying him. This shows Tequila has an impatient personality and isn't afraid to hit young children.

== Plot overview ==
=== Game Convention Case (Manga: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]]) ===
This is Tequila's introduction, and he's the first codenamed Black Organization agent featured in the show since Gin and Vodka in the 1st episode. Tequila had some dealings with the video game company Mantendo, and had requested a list of the top computer programmers in the world. The briefcase he has gets mixed up, and he is mistakenly killed when the briefcase he opens detonates a bomb, which was meant for someone else. Tequila speaks with Vodka over the phone in this episode, and argues a bit with him. Conan, upon realizing Tequila's codename and overhearing the conversation with Vodka, attempts to place the microphone from his glasses as well as the wireless transmitter to continue eavesdropping on his phone conversation and uses his Criminal Tracking Glasses to try and find Tequila's meeting place with Gin and Vodka, though Tequila is killed before the meeting takes place.

=== On the trail of the Silent Witness (Manga: [[Volume 37#Footsteps of Darkness|377-378]], Anime: [[On the Trail of a Silent Witness|307-308]]) ===
Associates of famed software programmer Suguru Itakura come to the Mouri Detective Agency and explain to Kogoro that Itakura has been missing for a few days, and that they're concerned that someone may have harmed Itakura, and mention that a few years prior, a tall man in a black suit with a mustache and Kansai dialect had visited Itakura requesting the completion of a computer program that Itakura had abandoned. They also mention that this man along with Itakura attended a Mantendo convention. Conan realizes that the man they described is Tequila, and Kogoro soon realizes that too, and briefly mentions the events of The Game Company Murder Case, explaining to the men that the person they described couldn't be responsible, as Tequila was killed in a bombing at a video game company in a case Kogoro solved a while back.
There is a flashback of Tequila at Itakura's office, and he appears in background shots a few times during the episode.

=== Meeting with Vodka (Manga: [[Volume 37#Meeting with Vodka|380]], Anime: [[Contact with the Black Organization|309]]) ===
Just like in the 2 previous episodes, Tequila appears in some background sequences, along with Gin, and Vodka, but only during the first part of the 3 episodes.

== Non-Canon Plot Overview ==
=== Movie 26 ===
* Tequila (after a 20 year absence) is mentioned during the cold opening for this film while Conan reflects on the fact that the male codename agents of the Black Organization are named after types of hard liquor, and female members usually have codenames consistent with types of wine, in an attempt to deduce the identity of a new agent known as [[Pinga]]. Tequila has no lines and only appears briefly as a background character, along with other agents such as Gin, Vodka, Sherry, [[Pisco]], Vermouth, [[Chianti]], [[Korn]], [[Irish]], [[Bourbon]] and [[Rum]].

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Gin ===
Although Tequila is a subordinate of [[Gin]]'s, he doesn't use honorifics like Vodka does<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> to refer to Gin, giving the impression Tequila and Gin appear equally ranked.<ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref>

=== Vodka ===
Tequila and [[Vodka]] are approximately equally ranked and both are Gin's subordinates.<ref name=CD239/>

=== Vermouth ===
Though not shown interacting together, [[Vermouth]] did work with Tequila in trying to intimidate Suguru Itakura into completing the computer program for the Organization.

[[File:Screenshot 20240315-051246 Chrome.jpg|thumb|Movie 26]]

== Trivia ==
* He is one of the only codename agents, along with Gin, Vodka, and [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], to appear in the Funimation English dub.
* He is the first Black Organization member to be killed in the anime.
** He is also the first person to be killed by mistake in the series, as the briefcase bomb that killed him was actually meant for someone else entirely unrelated to him or the organization.
* Despite him being one of the earliest Black Organization agents to appear in the series, after his debut in [[Game Company Murder Case|Episode 54]], he wouldn't appear again until "On the Trail of the Silent Witness" case, which directly tied into the "[[Contact with the Black Organization]]" case, which aired in 2003, over 6 years after Tequila's introduction. His debut episode was the season 2 finale, and despite it being a big deal about the Organization appearing, the very next episode makes absolutely no mention of the Black Organization or Conan's encounter with Tequila. He has one of, if not the longest gap between appearances of any Detective Conan character, as following the "Contact with the Black Organization" case, Tequila wouldn't be mentioned or appear again for 20 years until 2023 in movie 26, "[[Movie 26|The Black Iron Submarine]]."
* The [[Magic Kaito Organization]] member [[Snake]] bears some resemblance to Tequila.

However, this project had been postponed for many years and was never completed.<ref name=F379>Manga volume 37, file 379; anime episode 308.</ref> Later at some point in time, he became very well-known with his work as a CG designer, especially to actresses like [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] and [[Vermouth|Sharon]]. His studio often appears on movie credits for special visual effect.<ref name=F377>Manga volume 37, file 377; anime episode 307.</ref> However, due to the fact that his vision has begun to turn worse, he quit being a CG graphic designer three years prior to the current timeline, and has only focused on system developing since then.<ref name=F377/> Even as a game programmer, he was still very famous and was usually hired to cooperate with different game companies. He had a serious heart disease and was required to take medicine three times a day.<ref name=F378>Manga volume 37, file 378; anime episode 307.</ref> This is also the direct cause of his death.

== Plot overview ==
=== Conflict with Sharon Vineyard ===
[[File:Sharon Itakura.png|thumb|right|200px|Itakura and Sharon arguing.]]
Yukiko stated that she heard a rumor from her actor friends, that at some point prior to three years ago, when was still a CG graphic designer for films, he and the actress Sharon had a serious fight during a film set, and their relationship had been very tense ever since then.<ref name=Sharon>Manga volume 78, file 823; anime episode 704.</ref> However, the exact cause of this conflict was never revealed.

=== Request from the Black Organization ===
Two years prior to the current timeline, [[Tequila]] arrived at his office and asked him about an unknown system program that he had been working on in the past. However, he had cancelled that program because his vision was getting worse. Some days later, he figured out that his working office and his home had been broken in by somebody, but nothing was stolen or damaged, so he couldn't get the police to take him seriously. Depressed and worrying about his own safety, he had no choice but to agree with the [[Black Organization]]'s request in order to avoid further intimidation. He left a note saying "I agreed to your demands". He followed the phone number left for him on a piece of paper, he got as a reply, and made a call. A mysterious woman, who is later revealed to be Vermouth<ref name=Sharon/>, answered the phone and demanded him to finish the project that he had given up on, with the deadline being one year from the time of the call. She also stated that she would pay a high price for it. Because of this, he came to the conclusion that this woman and the giant man were working together.

For some unknown reasons, he stated in his diary that he didn't want to finish this program, not for the sake of his vision, but for the sake of humanity.<ref name=F380/> He then decided to the leave the disk with the incomplete program and a check with the amount of money he had been paid at his cottage in the Gunma district, then took on as many game projects as possible to get enough money to escape to another country. However, he was murdered by his old friend Ryusuke Soma before he can do so. Soma was angered that he invested twenty years worth of money and time into Itakura to build him the shogi program, yet had made no development throughout the years. It hinted that the Black Organization intended to kill him, once the program was finished and delivered.

== Mysterious program ==
[[File:Conan Program.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan holding the CD with the program in it.]]
Not much is known about the program that he was creating under the order of the Black Organization, except that it was something he stated wouldn't want to complete for the sake of humanity.<ref name=F380/> The incomplete program itself was stored inside a CD and left at his cottage, but was later acquired by [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, the content of the CD and the reason why the organization ordered it was never discovered, as the program had been protected with password that only Itakura himself and the Black Organization know how to unlock. It was also programmed to block copying.<ref>Manga volume 37, file 381; anime episode 310.</ref> At the moment the incomplete program is in the hands of the organization.

=== Speculation ===
<spoiler>It is known that the Black Organization is interested in gathering skilled programmers, which was the motive behind Tequila's mission when he was killed. Therefore, it is likely the Black Organization has some agenda related to computing. Whether this dovetails with the objectives of the mysterious drug research programs like [[APTX 4869]] and [[Silver Bullet]] or is it's own separate agenda with a different goal is unclear.

It's speculated that the program he created had the purpose of raising the dead or a similar purpose, basing on a conversation with Vermouth he wrote about on his diary, where she says: "We can be both of God and The Devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time..." But he express in his diary that he wonder what the organization intended to use the program for, so it could mean that he was creating it for another purpose.</spoiler>

== His diary ==
[[File:Itakura's Diary.png|right|thumb|200px|The floppy disk that was used to store his diary.]]
He wrote his entries and stored them inside a floppy disk labelled {{nihongo|"Diary"|日記|Nikki}}. Fearing that the disk would be brought back to the police headquarter for further examination, after having tranquilized [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] in order to arrest his murderer, Conan tricked [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] into copying the content of the disk and paste it into another empty floppy disk. He later read it using the copied version instead of the original one.<ref name=F379/> His diary contains entries from the last five years.<ref name=F378/> Only some entries from two years ago, since Tequila first appeared at his office, to the present timeline were revealed to the readers. Open spoiler box to read it.

<spoiler>
=== Two years ago ===
[[File:EP307 5.png|thumb|left|200px|Tequila as he leaves his office after being rejected, saying: "I don't need you anymore!"<ref name=F377/>]]
'''''March 7''''' A giant speaking Kansai-ben visited today without an appointment. He seemed very interested in the system program I was working on. When I told him I had stopped working on it since my vision was declining, he left. That man dressed all in black... I hope I never see him again.

'''''March 20''''' The pen on my desk has been moved 5cm again... I'm almost positive someone has been sneaking into my office.

'''''April 15''''' Now someone has broken into my house. The police won't take me seriously... Likely because nothing was stolen or damaged.

'''''June 11''''' I changed the lock and set up a security camera. It was no use...

'''''July 6''''' Who are you? Show yourself!

'''''December 19''''' A friend of mine gave me a call from my cottage for the first time in five years. It looked like he was with a woman. What a carefree life he's having...<ref>This part hinted that the key to his cottage was hidden nearby because his friend could easily get inside the house.</ref>

I'm tired. At this rate, I will be killed in the near future...
{{clearleft}}

=== Last year ===
'''''January 6''''' To escape this fear, I left a message to the intruder in the desk drawer, saying: "I agreed to your demands."

'''''January 8''''' Much to my surprise, I've already gotten a reply. The intruder left a message on a piece of paper just like I did before. It only said: "OK." in red and has a phone number written on it. This "red" is probably blood... I wonder if they're trying to tell me that... I'll lose my life if I let it out?
[[File:Humanity's sake.jpg|right|200px|thumb|He doesn't want to finish the program for the sake of humanity.]]
'''''January 23''''' I finally decided on the matter. I decided to call the number without reporting it to the police. The one who answered was a woman. A woman who spoke as if she was a queen. Her only demand for me was to finish the computer program I had abandoned, and gave me one year to do it. She would pay a lot. This woman must be working with that giant from not too long ago.

'''''February 13''''' They changed our method of communication to e-mails. I decided to agree to their demands under two conditions: They must pay me through a bank transfer in advance, and they don't stalk me around.

'''''December 22''''' I can't. I refuse to finish it. I know this program mustn't be completed, not because of my vision, but for the sake of humanity.

=== The present year ===
[[File:GodDevil.jpg|thumb|left|200px|"We can be both of God and The Devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time..."]]
'''''February 9''''' The due time is coming soon. I've decided to flee abroad. I'll leave the incomplete software and their check near the computer at my cottage. They'll send me an email at midnight 5 days from today to specify the time and location for handing over the program. I must get out of the country.

'''''February 10''''' Today the hotel employee told me about a strange incident. Those three might have figured out that I'm staying here. Well, I can always switch hotel...<ref>This part was revealed much earlier in the murder case. In the entry of February 9, he stated that the Black Organization would email him at "5 days from today at midnight" (about 12AM or 00:00 of February 14). This would put the day his body was found (and the day Conan retrieved the diary) at February 13, as Conan mentioned that the entry of February 9 had been written four days before. Agasa also pointed out that February 10 was the last entry, which means no further content exists beyond this point.</ref>

I wonder... What are they planning to do with the program? I can't stop thinking about the strange thing that the woman said over the phone. Yes... When I lost my temper for her extreme highhandedness and asked her who the hell did she think she was, she answered the following in English, laughing: "We can be both of God and The Devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time..." Cat's cry in the background got louder when the woman said that. She hung up shortly after...<ref>This last line wasn't revealed until sometime after.</ref></spoiler>

<spoiler>The culprit is '''Eiichiro Kondo'''. Conan investigates the scene and realizes that it was a murder made to look like an accident. He explains that Kondo was the one who they saw jump off the observation deck and reveals that when Kondo jumped, he landed on a tree below the cliff where he then proceeded to push the unconscious Hirai off the tree. As evidence, Conan reveals that the tree had a mejiro's nest and that spider's web, a collectible that mejiro birds use to build their nests, was found on Hirai. To incriminate Kondo, Conan explains that Kondo's footprint from his mountaineering boots was found on the tree.

Kondo confesses and reveals that Hirai was blackmailing him after he accidentally caused the death of a co-worker. The accident occurred as they were arguing with Hirai who was illegally selling wildlife plants to young tourists. They were arguing on the edge of a cliff, when their female co-worker tried to calm them down he accidentally shoved causing her to fall from the cliff to her death.

On the bus, Kogoro found with the binoculars a nearby hotspring with some women bathing in it.</spoiler>

The kidnapper takes Conan to his hideout and locked him up in the old room. While locked in, Conan manages to bend lose a rusted old iron pipe belonging to the stairway railing to the door out. While first using the pipe on the door, Conan realizes his body lacks the strength to batter the door open and bends open an iron grating of a ventilation shack and crawls his way to freedom through it. Meanwhile the kidnapper picks up the ransom and manages to get away shortly before the Detective Boys with Jun returns from the arcade to his house to find the police there.

==== Part 2 ====
After Conan escaped the kidnapper, he told Inspector Megure everything that happened. Then after the kidnappers escape, the vehicle is finally found with Tadashi Yoshizawa murdered inside.

<spoiler>Conan manages to figure out the trick they used to change the trucks appearance to getaway and sets up a trap for the kidnappers partner using his Voice-Changing Bowtie to pretend he is Tadashi and that the kidnapper still alive. '''Goro Kitayama''', the Kataoka family's chauffeur shows up and is confronted by Conan, Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato. Sato realized that there is one more person other than Sachiko who know Kataoka's cellphone number and that the police hide GPS truck tracking device along with ransom is Goro. Takagi was finally able to deduce that Yoshizawa used a very large sticker to disguise the truck and peel it off in the tunnel.

In a final act of desperation Goro tackles Sato and hits Takagi with a wrench before he grabs the ransom money and tries to make his escape but is stopped by Conan using the Anywhere Ball Dispensing Belt to inflate and kick a ball at him.

Both police officers quickly regains their feets and takes Goro into custody. After the case is solved, Sachiko's fashion show is resumed and is very successful. She then became Shigeru Kataoka's second wife, and Jun finally accepted her as his second mother.</spoiler>

The kidnapper takes Conan to his hideout and locked him up in the old room. While locked in, Conan manages to bend lose a rusted old iron pipe belonging to the stairway railing to the door out. While first using the pipe on the door, Conan realizes his body lacks the strength to batter the door open and bends open an iron grating of a ventilation shack and crawls his way to freedom through it. Meanwhile the kidnapper picks up the ransom and manages to get away shortly before the Detective Boys with Jun returns from the arcade to his house to find the police there.

==== Part 2 ====
After Conan escaped the kidnapper, he told Inspector Megure everything that happened. Then after the kidnappers escape, the vehicle is finally found with Tadashi Yoshizawa murdered inside.

<spoiler>Conan manages to figure out the trick they used to change the trucks appearance to getaway and sets up a trap for the kidnappers partner using his Voice-Changing Bowtie to pretend he is Tadashi and that the kidnapper still alive. '''Goro Kitayama''', the Kataoka family's chauffeur shows up and is confronted by Conan, Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato. Sato realized that there is one more person other than Sachiko who know Kataoka's cellphone number and that the police hide GPS truck tracking device along with ransom is Goro. Takagi was finally able to deduce that Yoshizawa used a very large sticker to disguise the truck and peel it off in the tunnel.

The kidnapper takes Conan to his hideout and locked him up in the old room. While locked in, Conan manages to bend lose a rusted old iron pipe belonging to the stairway railing to the door out. While first using the pipe on the door, Conan realizes his body lacks the strength to batter the door open and bends open an iron grating of a ventilation shack and crawls his way to freedom through it. Meanwhile the kidnapper picks up the ransom and manages to get away shortly before the Detective Boys with Jun returns from the arcade to his house to find the police there.

After Conan escaped the kidnapper, he told Inspector Megure everything that happened. Then after the kidnappers escape, the vehicle is finally found with Tadashi Yoshizawa murdered inside.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan manages to figure out the trick they used to change the trucks appearance to getaway and sets up a trap for the kidnappers partner using his Voice-Changing Bowtie to pretend he is Tadashi and that the kidnapper still alive. '''Goro Kitayama''', the Kataoka family's chauffeur shows up and is confronted by Conan, Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato. Sato realized that there is one more person other than Sachiko who know Kataoka's cellphone number and that the police hide GPS truck tracking device along with ransom is Goro. Takagi was finally able to deduce that Yoshizawa used a very large sticker to disguise the truck and peel it off in the tunnel.

==== First Locked Room ====
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] knocked on a mansion door at night as they were lost. The door is open and a man in a hood is seen which makes them scream. They see behind the mysterious man more people dressed like him. One of them notices Kogoro and shows himself as Koji Yatsukawa. They are allowed to come in and everyone tells Kogoro who they are. Hirasaka tells them that they will be holding a séance for their idol, who was supposed to be a star in the Black Magic Girl Movie. They decided to hold a séance as rumors have come up saying if people ditched the club, they will be suffered with illness. They also brought up a murder who was supposed to be related to the death of Kira. So they decided to have the séance to ask Kira herself.

{{InfoBox Crime

}}

During the séance, they call out to Kira and voices of her coming out from the paintings around them telling them that one of them here has killed her and she shall have her vengeance. Soon the tables start shaking and things start breaking. Kogoro deducts that the person moving these objects (from a remote control) was Hirasaka which is proven to be right. He claims it was just a little performance but says that someone switched the audio as thats not what he put on the tape. Soon after Hirasaka and Honogi are in a room talking to each other. It seems that Honogi did or saw something a while ago. While eating with some other guests Conan asks questions about Kira and the previous murder. They learn the person who saw the body was Shouko. When they call her cellphone to see if she will talk to Kogoro a bit she says she has a headache and not now.

Later that night when everyone is sleeping. The club members get a message saying "I have returned to life" ~Kira from Shouko's phone. After breaking into the meditation room she is on the table dead.

}}

Conan quickly notices that this was a sealed door murder. Yutaka than lets out an evil laugh saying "Kira has returned."

==== Second Locked Room ====
Honogi reveals that he discovered Hirasaka in his room dead. Kogoro breaks open the room and confirms Hirasaka died from drinking poisoned wine.

The police arrive at the mansion where Kogoro shows them both locked rooms. In the séance room, Kogoro explains that the front door was padlocked from the inside and the only way out is through high window. The high window can only be opened with a switch in the room. In Hirasaka's room, a small window is found above the door but too small to fit a person through. On the floor of the room were the ripped posters of Kira from the séance room. The keys to both rooms were found in Hirasaka's drawer. The police interview the club members and discover Hirasaka, Honogi, and Sawanami have received threatening messages from a fan of Kira and their goal with the séance was to find the culprit. They deduce that the one sending the messages, swapped the recording, is the same person who committed the murders. Takagi shows Kogoro and Conan Sawanami's dying message written as キラ; Conan then discovers the identity of the culprit.

==== Opened Locked Room ====
Conan investigates the two rooms one last time and brings Kogoro to the séance room and tranquilizes him.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Ryuichi Mifune''', the cameraman. He actually was Kira's secret boyfriend, and had planned the séance in order to get revenge and to manipulate the situation so Kira's lifeless body, which was probably hidden in the mansion, would be found. (This was true: it was actually buried right under the séance table where Shouko's body was found) He had always thought that Kira, an excellent and careful driver, would have not died in a car accident, and since the "accident" took place near the mansion, he believed the people who had been there with her were related to her mysterious death.

Kira's killer was '''Reiki Hirasaka''', who was a very heavy drinker due to depression. They were in a party in the mansion and at some point he got too drunk, so when Kira tried to calm him down he shoved her causing her to fall and land on her head and dying from the impact and suffering a fatal concussion. He and the other people in the party then set up everything to make everyone believe she had died in an accident instead, hiding her body in the mansion.

Mifune had started to target the people who were known to have been with Kira the day she died. He first attacked Sawanami, being the one with the lowest guard. In regards to Hirasaka, Mifune killed him by poisoning his wine; the proof of it were some wine stains on his shirt, hidden under his tie. He also wanted to kill Honogi first, but then changed his mind and killed Shouko before him...

Finally, there are two "reasons" why Shouko Utakura was killed.

- Mifune thought Shouko was the girl who was at the party that ended with Kira's death (Sawanami had mentioned a female, but didn't say her name): but it wasn't her. It actually was '''Maho Izumi''', the cosplayer. She didn't come forward due to the trauma she had gone through when the kind-hearted Kira, who befriended her when nobody would and saved her from ending up as a ''hikikomori'' (house recluse), had died. She also ended up explaining to Mifune why Shouko committed the second mistake that would get her killed.

- Shouko found Sawanami's lifeless body and, thanks to the ''kana'' he spelled in his own blood before dying, deduced that Mifune was the one who attacked him. She later confronted Mifune by saying she knew the truth, but adding that she would cover up for him. Shouko was in love with Mifune and truly meant what she said, and not to mention she had decided to not tell him that she loved him since she knew he still loved Kira. When they spoke, however, Mifune misunderstood her and thought she'd blackmail him, so as soon as he could he strangled Shouko to silence her. Shouko didn't fight back because, upon being attacked by the guy she loved, the poor girl fell in despair and lost the will to live.

Mifune shocked by this revelation and realizing his mistake repeatedly bashes his head into the floor in despair before being stopped by Chiba. Later on it is revealed that Kira’s body had finally been found in the seance room after the police dug it up.

=== Situation ===
==== First Locked Room ====
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] knocked on a mansion door at night as they were lost. The door is open and a man in a hood is seen which makes them scream. They see behind the mysterious man more people dressed like him. One of them notices Kogoro and shows himself as Koji Yatsukawa. They are allowed to come in and everyone tells Kogoro who they are. Hirasaka tells them that they will be holding a séance for their idol, who was supposed to be a star in the Black Magic Girl Movie. They decided to hold a séance as rumors have come up saying if people ditched the club, they will be suffered with illness. They also brought up a murder who was supposed to be related to the death of Kira. So they decided to have the séance to ask Kira herself.

{{InfoBox Crime

}}

During the séance, they call out to Kira and voices of her coming out from the paintings around them telling them that one of them here has killed her and she shall have her vengeance. Soon the tables start shaking and things start breaking. Kogoro deducts that the person moving these objects (from a remote control) was Hirasaka which is proven to be right. He claims it was just a little performance but says that someone switched the audio as thats not what he put on the tape. Soon after Hirasaka and Honogi are in a room talking to each other. It seems that Honogi did or saw something a while ago. While eating with some other guests Conan asks questions about Kira and the previous murder. They learn the person who saw the body was Shouko. When they call her cellphone to see if she will talk to Kogoro a bit she says she has a headache and not now.

Later that night when everyone is sleeping. The club members get a message saying "I have returned to life" ~Kira from Shouko's phone. After breaking into the meditation room she is on the table dead.

Conan quickly notices that this was a sealed door murder. Yutaka than lets out an evil laugh saying "Kira has returned."

==== Second Locked Room ====
Honogi reveals that he discovered Hirasaka in his room dead. Kogoro breaks open the room and confirms Hirasaka died from drinking poisoned wine.

The police arrive at the mansion where Kogoro shows them both locked rooms. In the séance room, Kogoro explains that the front door was padlocked from the inside and the only way out is through high window. The high window can only be opened with a switch in the room. In Hirasaka's room, a small window is found above the door but too small to fit a person through. On the floor of the room were the ripped posters of Kira from the séance room. The keys to both rooms were found in Hirasaka's drawer. The police interview the club members and discover Hirasaka, Honogi, and Sawanami have received threatening messages from a fan of Kira and their goal with the séance was to find the culprit. They deduce that the one sending the messages, swapped the recording, is the same person who committed the murders. Takagi shows Kogoro and Conan Sawanami's dying message written as キラ; Conan then discovers the identity of the culprit.

==== Opened Locked Room ====
Conan investigates the two rooms one last time and brings Kogoro to the séance room and tranquilizes him.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Ryuichi Mifune''', the cameraman. He actually was Kira's secret boyfriend, and had planned the séance in order to get revenge and to manipulate the situation so Kira's lifeless body, which was probably hidden in the mansion, would be found. (This was true: it was actually buried right under the séance table where Shouko's body was found) He had always thought that Kira, an excellent and careful driver, would have not died in a car accident, and since the "accident" took place near the mansion, he believed the people who had been there with her were related to her mysterious death.

Kira's killer was '''Reiki Hirasaka''', who was a very heavy drinker due to depression. They were in a party in the mansion and at some point he got too drunk, so when Kira tried to calm him down he shoved her causing her to fall and land on her head and dying from the impact and suffering a fatal concussion. He and the other people in the party then set up everything to make everyone believe she had died in an accident instead, hiding her body in the mansion.

Mifune had started to target the people who were known to have been with Kira the day she died. He first attacked Sawanami, being the one with the lowest guard. In regards to Hirasaka, Mifune killed him by poisoning his wine; the proof of it were some wine stains on his shirt, hidden under his tie. He also wanted to kill Honogi first, but then changed his mind and killed Shouko before him...

Finally, there are two "reasons" why Shouko Utakura was killed.

- Mifune thought Shouko was the girl who was at the party that ended with Kira's death (Sawanami had mentioned a female, but didn't say her name): but it wasn't her. It actually was '''Maho Izumi''', the cosplayer. She didn't come forward due to the trauma she had gone through when the kind-hearted Kira, who befriended her when nobody would and saved her from ending up as a ''hikikomori'' (house recluse), had died. She also ended up explaining to Mifune why Shouko committed the second mistake that would get her killed.

- Shouko found Sawanami's lifeless body and, thanks to the ''kana'' he spelled in his own blood before dying, deduced that Mifune was the one who attacked him. She later confronted Mifune by saying she knew the truth, but adding that she would cover up for him. Shouko was in love with Mifune and truly meant what she said, and not to mention she had decided to not tell him that she loved him since she knew he still loved Kira. When they spoke, however, Mifune misunderstood her and thought she'd blackmail him, so as soon as he could he strangled Shouko to silence her. Shouko didn't fight back because, upon being attacked by the guy she loved, the poor girl fell in despair and lost the will to live.

Mifune shocked by this revelation and realizing his mistake repeatedly bashes his head into the floor in despair before being stopped by Chiba. Later on it is revealed that Kira’s body had finally been found in the seance room after the police dug it up.

{{nihongo|'''''{{PAGENAME}}'''''|妻探しの秘密|Tsuma Sagashi no Himitsu}} is the 975th episode of the ''[[Detective Conan]]'' [[anime]]. It was originally scheduled for April 25, 2020 as episode 976, but was postponed due to the [[Wikipedia: COVID-19 pandemic|COVID-19 pandemic]]. It finally aired on July 4, 2020 as episode 975, replacing [[The Beika City Shopping Center Garbage Bin Mystery|episode 1002]], which aired instead on April 17, 2021. Written by [[Asami Ishikawa]] and storyboarded by [[Koichiro Kuroda]], the story follows Ran and Conan who find a desperate Masaki Higuchi looking for his missing wife and decide to help him, along with the famous sleeping Kogoro. After looking around the neighborhood, things take a turn for the worse, as her corpse is found in the Higuchis' own backyard. However, this is not a case of domestic violence gone wrong, and something is amiss in the neighborhood.

=== Situation ===
A man named Masaki Higuchi is showing a poster of his missing wife Tomomi Higuchi to several people while he is getting wet from the rain. Ran and Conan approach him with an umbrella to offer him shelter and ask to see the poster. Ran immediately recognizes Tomomi from her workplace, a florist shop. Masaki asks for their help and Ran suggests he talk to her father Kogoro Mouri, known as "Sleeping Kogoro".

At the detective agency, Masaki tells them what he knows. He had planned a date with his wife Tomomi at an expensive restaurant but she never showed up. Kogoro asks if maybe she ran off, but Masaki tells him that that is impossible as they had a happy life together. As evidence, he reveals that her phone and wallet were left behind, something a person running away would never do.

Masaki asks Kogoro to investigate the case for him which he accepts. Kogoro along with Conan question Masaki's neighbors, getting different statements from them but nothing to lead them to Tomomi.

As Kogoro and Conan are walking around the neighborhood, they hear Masaki arguing with someone and go to investigate. They find detective Takagi with two officers. Kogoro asks what is wrong and Masaki reveals that Takagi came to dig up his garden because they believe Masaki killed his wife and buried her in their own backyard.

Masaki lets them dig stating that they will not find anything as he believes Tomomi is still alive. However the officers find Tomomi's body in the garden, much to Masaki's shock and grief.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is the '''woman with scratches''', whose name is in fact '''Sakie Tsutsumi'''.

Her motive was that Tomomi had decided to cut some branches off her tree, as it was blocking the sunlight necessary for her garden. Sakie had gone to confront her and had stepped through Tomomi's rose garden which was extremely thorny explaining the scratches on her legs. Tomomi was trying to explain why she cut the branches off her tree, but Sakie wouldn't have it and shoved the garden sheers into Tomomi killing her.

Seeing what happened she buried Tomomi's body in her own garden and left hoping she would never be found. However, Tomomi's husband Masaki Higuchi started to look for her as a result Kogoro was put on the case and he started asking the neighbors questions about Tomomi. Sakie saw this as a opportunity to frame Masaki and falsely told Kogoro that Tomomi and Masaki got into arguments often. And when Kogoro questioned the other neighbors they claimed the same thing, until it was revealed that Tomomi was also an aspiring actress. Which meant that all the "arguing" they heard was just acting from Tomomi's scripts that she was rehearsing with Masaki.

Walking near Masaki and Tomomi's home they hear Masaki yelling and see that Takagi and some MPD officers have arrived to his house. Masaki asks Kogoro for help, stating that the police said that they believe that Tomomi's body is buried in their garden. Takagi reveals that they got an anonymous tip from a phone call and decided to act. They later found Tomomi's body in the garden much to Masaki's shock and grief. It is later revealed that Sakie sent that anonymous tip in the hopes of framing Masaki for good.

Ironically this backfired as this was what made Conan suspicious, which ended up helping solve this case. The evidence to prove her guilt was her blood on the rose bushes and on the garden sheers that was used to kill Tomomi. Sakie reveals that she felt inferior after watching her and Masaki working so happily on their garden it make her sick and envious. She was pushed over the edge when Tomomi started cutting branches off her tree and caused her to kill her in retaliation.

Conan as Kogoro states that if she had not said anything and had not tried to frame Masaki then she never would have been caught. As Sakie is being led away by Takagi, Masaki grabs a shovel and is about to attempt to kill her after learning that she killed his wife over something so petty. However Megure talks him down stating that this is not what his wife would have wanted, and she would want better for him. After remembering Tomomi and her smile, he relents and breaks down knowing that Megure is right.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* The case shares similarities with [[The Missing Girlfriend]], written by [[Tatsuro Inamoto]].
* The restaurant where Masaki had a date with his wife is Arsène, the skyview restaurant which appeared in [[The Desperate Revival]], and he was bringing his wife a [[Fusae Brand]] gift.
* The play Tomomi is cast in is [[Wikipedia: William Shakespeare|Shakespeare]]'s ''[[Wikipedia: Othello|Othello]]''.
* The police car from [[The High School Girl Trio's Secret Café]] reappeared.

The "No parking" sign is an overlapping of the letters N and O, meaning "No". The color blue of the sign is pronounced as "Ao" in japanese. The two words combined gives "Aono". Furthermore, the "7155" message that the second victim left, is a reference to the article of japanese traffic law, that mentions that a driver must never use his cellphone while driving. Aono's girlfriend committed suicide the week before. He drove without his license while trying to call her, which got him caught by the two police women, Touko and Shiori, who held him back. He believed that he could have prevented the suicide, if they had let him go, and that they wasted time, when they got a call from their friend Yumiko, known as Yumi to them, who invited them to karaoke. But Chiba explains that he was held back, because he could have caused an accident, especially if he drove his car in a panic. Moreover, right after he got his girl friend's text message with a goodbye she had called him and left him a voicemail, that also recorded her fall. It proves that he could never have stopped her in any circumstances. Aono missed the voicemail, because he had been busy trying to call her phone and because he was too distressed to notice, realizing that he murdered two innocent women he breaks down crying.

Chiba finally recognises Naeko as his childhood friend after the latter used the same words that Chiba said to her about not crossing the red light and respecting traffic laws.

At the end of the case, Kuroda calls Amuro on the phone, calling him "Bourbon".</spoiler>

==== Part 1 ====
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan go to Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture, because of Sonoko's schemes to get a man. At the beach, Sonoko takes a picture of Ran fixing her bathing suit and threatens to send the picture to Shinichi. Sonoko is upset about her lack of love life. However, a college student approaches the girls and asks Sonoko to lunch. He appears to be romantically interested and asks Sonoko to dinner as well. They agree to meet at their lodgings later that day. The college student tells the group a story about a brunette that was murdered a year ago and now haunts the restaurant he wants to dine at. Ran is frighten by the story and forbids Sonoko in using the camera to capture a ghost in it. Sonoko suggest that maybe they could show such a picture to Shinichi and see if he can figure something out, since she is going to show the other picture anyway. The group then finds out that another brunette was murdered in the woods recently in the same manner as the brunette from a year ago.

The group goes to the crime scene and meet Sango Yokomizo who cautions them to stay safe. Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are staying at a cheap inn because Sonoko doesn't want to scare men away by staying at an expensive luxury hotel. In the evening, the three of them wait for the college student to pick them up in his car. Sonoko realizes that she forgot something in her room and goes back up to get it. Here she discovers a suspicious figure searching her bags. The figure attacks her and is about to stab her with a knife when Ran and Conan, worried about the time Sonoko is taking, come to find her.

Sonoko is saved and the figure escapes through the window. The stoic, and somewhat unfriendly, high school student Makoto Kyogoku that is working at the inn moves the group to another room. Ran thinks she has seen this person somewhere before but cannot remember where. The college student shows up muddy and wet and Conan suspects him of attacking Sonoko. Sonoko says she bit the attacker's bicep in her struggle and Conan makes the college student take off his shirt. However, the college student does not have a bite mark on his arm. Makoto has a bandaged bicep and falls under suspicion but Sonoko says he wasn't the attacker since the attacker was hairy. The college student, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan decide to have dinner at the inn because the college student says his car broke down. Conan speculates that Sonoko's attacker was looking for the photographs she was taking during the trip, but cannot figure out why. Conan does not think there are any incriminating photos after Sonoko shows them, after taking out the one of Ran. Perhaps the murderer overheard Sonoko talking about the photographs and misunderstood. This case is still full of mysteries and Conan cannot figure out why Sonoko was attacked and why the killer would think that she took a picture, that needs to get rid of.

Conan believes the culprit was the serial killer who attacked Sonoko last night.

While they walk to the police station, Sonoko says that she does have one picture left, which is the one she wants to show Shinichi. Conan realizes that culprit still thinks that Sonoko has an incriminating picture and has sent the car over the cliff to destroy it along with the luggage. But he's still confused as to why the culprit thinks such a picture exist.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The suspicious man, Terabayashi, is revealed to be a police detective from Chiba and he is not the serial murderer from the past. The actual murderer from one year ago and who tried to kill Sonoko is '''Tadahiko Michiwaki'''. Terabayashi had suspected him of murdering four other women from his district. Michiwaki is the one who attacked Sonoko last night and escaped before Ran and Conan came into Sonoko's room. Sonoko didn't bite her attacker in the arm, but in the leg. She had made the mistake because she was attacked in the dark. Michiwaki also made his own car move down towards the cliff by putting the hand brake down while talking to her. In order to prevent the car from moving, he put ice under the wheel. Which later melted due to the heat and caused the car to move. Anyone would assume that the water puddle left behind came from the air conditioner. He left the lock picking tool on the ground to make it look like someone had broken into his car.

}}

The motive as to why Michiwaki murdered many brown-haired woman is because he was rejected by his brown-haired girlfriend and Sonoko and the previous victims resembled the woman who rejected him. Another reason why he is targeting Sonoko was that when he was killing his latest victim, a train passed by behind him and he saw the lights from it. He mistook it as a flash from a camera and when he later saw Sonoko with a camera not far from the crime scene, he thought that she took a picture of him with the victim and was going to show it to Shinichi, when she talked about the picture with Ran. This was further strengthened by the fact that Sonoko's other pictures showed couples being intimate. It made him think that Sonoko took a picture in the belief that it was another intimate moment. Sonoko never told Michiwaki what the picture really showed, because Ran always interrupted or stopped her from telling anyone. So he approached the group with the intention to find the picture and destroy it. Conan, Ran and Terabayashi arrived at the scene, but it was almost too late, until Makoto saves Sonoko from being stabbed. He incapacitated Michiwaki easily using his karate moves.

Later, Makoto is revealed to be the captain of Haido High's karate team, which explains why Ran felt that she had met him before. He was worried for Sonoko, because he had seen Michiwaki flirting with two other girls before her. He explains that he once saw Sonoko during a karate competition that both he and Ran took part in, cheering for Ran in such a spirited way that he felt immediately drawn to her.

Later, it is revealed that Sonoko and Makoto had started dating but Makoto had to leave for another karate tournament. Sonoko sad, but not disheartened decided to flirt with more men, much to Ran and Conan’s chagrin.</spoiler>

}}

While they walk to the police station, Sonoko says that she does have one picture left, which is the one she wants to show Shinichi. Conan realizes that culprit still thinks that Sonoko has an incriminating picture and has sent the car over the cliff to destroy it along with the luggage. But he's still confused as to why the culprit thinks such a picture exist.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The suspicious man, Terabayashi, is revealed to be a police detective from Chiba and he is not the serial murderer from the past. The actual murderer from one year ago and who tried to kill Sonoko is '''Tadahiko Michiwaki'''. Terabayashi had suspected him of murdering four other women from his district. Michiwaki is the one who attacked Sonoko last night and escaped before Ran and Conan came into Sonoko's room. Sonoko didn't bite her attacker in the arm, but in the leg. She had made the mistake because she was attacked in the dark. Michiwaki also made his own car move down towards the cliff by putting the hand brake down while talking to her. In order to prevent the car from moving, he put ice under the wheel. Which later melted due to the heat and caused the car to move. Anyone would assume that the water puddle left behind came from the air conditioner. He left the lock picking tool on the ground to make it look like someone had broken into his car.

The motive as to why Michiwaki murdered many brown-haired woman is because he was rejected by his brown-haired girlfriend and Sonoko and the previous victims resembled the woman who rejected him. Another reason why he is targeting Sonoko was that when he was killing his latest victim, a train passed by behind him and he saw the lights from it. He mistook it as a flash from a camera and when he later saw Sonoko with a camera not far from the crime scene, he thought that she took a picture of him with the victim and was going to show it to Shinichi, when she talked about the picture with Ran. This was further strengthened by the fact that Sonoko's other pictures showed couples being intimate. It made him think that Sonoko took a picture in the belief that it was another intimate moment. Sonoko never told Michiwaki what the picture really showed, because Ran always interrupted or stopped her from telling anyone. So he approached the group with the intention to find the picture and destroy it. Conan, Ran and Terabayashi arrived at the scene, but it was almost too late, until Makoto saves Sonoko from being stabbed. He incapacitated Michiwaki easily using his karate moves.

Later, Makoto is revealed to be the captain of Haido High's karate team, which explains why Ran felt that she had met him before. He was worried for Sonoko, because he had seen Michiwaki flirting with two other girls before her. He explains that he once saw Sonoko during a karate competition that both he and Ran took part in, cheering for Ran in such a spirited way that he felt immediately drawn to her.

Later, it is revealed that Sonoko and Makoto had started dating but Makoto had to leave for another karate tournament. Sonoko sad, but not disheartened decided to flirt with more men, much to Ran and Conan’s chagrin.</spoiler>

==== Part 1 ====
Several years ago, the Fox known as the best assassin in the country had killed a president of a major company. However this assassination took place while his target was driving as a result, his car swerved into the path of a school bus carrying elementary school children. This caused a collision, that claimed the life of the young 5 year old Chisato Ushio, due to this unintended casualty The Fox went into hiding.

In the present, Kogoro is hired to capture the Fox, the client being Ushio Bunzo, a millionaire who once hired the Fox to kill him since he was supposedly about to die. But he found out from his doctor that he would live to see another day, as a result he wanted to back off the deal but he had no way of contacting the Fox, instead he wants to have the Fox captured.

Bunzo asks Kogoro to follow him alongside Ran and Conan in a hiking trip that the Fox is supposed to attend as well. Kogoro is about to decline when suddenly Conan notices a glint that is coming a sniper (apparently The Fox) who is aiming at them from a nearby rooftop. Conan manages to push him out of the way and save him, after firing wildly into the office the shooter leaves. Kogoro is relieved but at the same time distressed about his windows, Bunzo offers to pay him for damages as long as he helps him and he accepts.

After arriving at the entrance of the hiking trail, Kogoro along with Conan and Ran act like they are meeting Bunzo for the first time while meeting the others hikers who are: Wataru Takanashi, Shingo Nose, Kyoko Saegusa, Akira Kawabe and their guide Kenichi Hirai. They keep a close eye on these people as they believe one of them is the infamous Fox.

They then follow their guide Hirai through the hiking trail, along the way Bunzo nearly falls down a deep ravine after almost tripping off a cliff. Bunzo believes that Hirai tried to kill him but quickly calms down after Kogoro talks to him. Afterwards they decide to take a break and rest before they start to hike again, while Hirai leaves to check out their current location.

Ran and Conan discuss who The Fox could be as there are many suspicious individuals among them. Suddenly they hear a scream and check to see where it came from, they find Wataru Takanashi who directs them towards Hirai's body who apparently fell off the cliff. When Kogoro accuses Takanashi of murdering Hirai he suddenly panics and asks to be let go, leaving the others stunned and confused.

Conan and Kogoro climb down and examine Hirai's body where they find that he landed on the back of his head on a rock. However Conan notices that Hirai has a gash on his cheek and a knife nearby with some blood on it. Meaning someone threw this knife at him and although Hirai managed to barely dodge it while sustaining a cut on his face, he lost his balance and fell to his death. Conan and Kogoro both wonder if the killer who they believe to be The Fox is among them.

Afterwards they make it to a cabin and meet the caretaker there, whose name is Juukichi Iwata an elderly man that startles them. He invites them in and prepares food for them, and learns from them that one of their members was killed and he comments that it was most likely no accident. Later the group discuss who the murderer could be and Takanashi is labeled the criminal. He then suddenly pulls out his large hunting knife and throws it near one of the members of the group then re-holsters it.

During this exchange Bunzo accidentally reveals Kogoro real name and identity to the other members. One of them recognizes Kogoro as the famous Sleeping Kogoro which startles the couple Akira and Kyoko, who Conan deems suspicious.

While they are sleeping an unknown person approaches Kogoro and plunges their knife into the pillow which startles Kogoro enough to wake him up. Bunzo, Kogoro, and Conan give chase after believing that Takanashi is the culprit. They track him down after hearing him screaming, and learn that he is actually Claustrophobic explaining his strange demeanor and attitude. While traveling back to the cabin Takanashi explains why he became claustrophobic in the first place.

When they are near the cabin, they suddenly hear Ran screaming, and fearing the worst rush towards the cabin.

==== Part 2 ====
The others rush to the cabin and are relieved to see Ran unharmed, she apologizes saying that there is trouble and directs them toward Kyoko Saegusa who is dead with a knife in her back. Akira Kawabe is mourning her death apologizing for not being able to protect her. Shingo Nose asks what is going on, as it is obvious that Kogoro knows more then he’s letting on.

Kogoro decides to tell them the truth, he reveals that he came to the hiking trip to hunt the infamous assassin The Fox. Although Bunzo chastises Kogoro for revealing the truth, he justifies this saying that two of their members are dead enough is enough. However as they are talking Shingo reveals himself to be right handed just like The Fox. Kogoro believes and deduces that Shingo is The Fox but he laughs this off saying that he is wrong.

But Kogoro doesn't believe him stating that he is the only one capable and he is also right handed just like The Fox. Bunzo believing this grabs Shingo stating that he has business with him. Conan investigates and figures out that the one who stabbed Kyoko was her lover Akira Kawabe, as they were hugging he looped one of his arms around her back and stabbed her with a knife. Ran demonstrates this together with Conan.

Conan also finds Kyoko's backpack filled with bundles of cash, with some of them stained with blood. Just then Takanashi tells them that two of their members are missing: the caretaker Junnichi and Akira. A landslide occurs and they hear screaming nearby, so Conan, Ran, and Kogoro go to check it out. They find Akira and help him to safety, he tells them that he took the caretaker hostage but he ran off as soon as the landslide occurred.

Conan and the others return back to the cabin and learn that Bunzo left to help as well but hasn't returned. Kogoro is confident believing they have captured The Fox who he believes is Akira Kawabe, however he denies this saying that he hasn’t killed anyone. But Conan looks through Akira's bag and finds more bundles of cash with blood on them, Kogoro tries to get Akira to tell them where that bloody money came from but he remains silent.

Just then Takanashi tells them that he has managed to fix the radio and as a result the following news report airs: "The police are still searching for the suspects who have killed and robbed a rich man in his home, the suspects are said to be a man and woman in hiking clothes". As they listen Kogoro notices Akira panicking and puts two and two together realizing that Akira and Kyoko are the robbery-murderers on the run.

Akira seeing that he has been cornered admits being one of two suspects the police are looking for in the robbery-murder case. He also admits to killing Kyoko after learning that Kogoro was a famous detective and believing he was looking for them. Kyoko had wanted them to turn themselves in having enough of being a fugitive, however Akira refused saying they still had a chance to escape.

But Kyoko still insisted on turning themselves in, Akira pretending to agree hugged Kyoko and then stabbed her in the back just the way Conan had deduced. Akira said it was Kogoro's fault for Kyoko having to die, because he had hid the true reason for him being there scaring them unnecessarily. The group then sees that the caretaker has a phone and fax with him and it uses a landline meaning they have a chance of calling for help.

But when Kogoro tries to use the phone, he hears no dial tone. Conan wondering why suddenly sees the landline cable has been severed via a knife. Conan then deduces that the caretaker Iwata is in fact The Fox, the assassin they came for. Conan believes that the fake caretaker also killed their guide because he could've figured out that he was a fake, as he and the real caretaker have been acquaintances for quite some time.

Conan also realizes that Bunzo is after The Fox because of his own vendetta and goes to find him.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The Fox was responsible for Hirai's death and the one who was responsible for Saegusa's death was '''Akira Kawabe'''. However, the whole trip was a gambit from Bunzo, who wanted to ''kill the Fox with his own hands''. He never was ill or willing to die: it was all feigned to get close to the Fox and murder him in retaliation for having accidentally caused the death of his beloved daughter Chisato, a girl around Conan's (physical) age. Two years ago, during one of his assassinations, his target's car crashed into a school bus and she was the only fatal victim.

The Fox was disguised as '''Juukichi Iwata''', the cottage caretaker, and Hirai was killed because he regularly traversed and knew the real Iwata, so he was a potential spanner in the Fox's plans. At the same time, Saegusa's death was a completely unrelated incident; Kawabe killed her to silence her after they both committed a robbery-murder.

Bunzo figured out that Iwata was The Fox, after witnessing Iwata pushing Akira down the cliff during the landslide and running off despite the fact that he was a old man. This made Bunzo realize who his adversary was and that he had to kill him. Bunzo also reveals that the sniper who fired into Kogoro's office was in fact a friend of his who owed him a favor, he had asked his friend to shoot into the office to scare Kogoro into helping him.

Bunzo manages to confront "Iwata" aka the Fox, furiously calling him out for Chisato's death. Conan stops Bunzo by showing him the picture of Chisato that he kept in his wallet and begging him to not taint his hands, seeing this and remembering his daughter he decides to drop the gun. Which is then picked up by The Fox who tries to kill them, but Conan kicks the gun out of his hands via his super kick shoes.

The Fox tries to flee but is intercepted by Kogoro who judo throws him, in the process The Fox is revealed to have been wearing a disguise and was actually a lot younger then he appeared to be.

The Fox, Bunzo, and Akira are arrested, but before leaving Bunzo thanks Conan for stopping him and leaves with a smile.</spoiler>

==== Part 1 ====
Sonoko tricks Ran into attending a cooking class by famous French chef Michi Uemori, and in order to go she invites her father and Conan. When the group arrives, they met several other people: Uemori's assistant, Yuko Komiyama, Michi's daughter-in-law Kaoru, and the cooking students Kazue Yashiro and Hiroaki Nishitani. Finally, the cooking class teacher Michi Uemori shows up. Conan, Ran, and Kogoro learn everyone seems to have something against the instructor, who is also a very unpleasant person. At some point the lights go out, then Uemori gets stabbed in the back and her lung is punctured, causing her to die. Now Conan and Kogoro have to decipher four suspects's agenda against her, but can they find the killer?

==== Part 2 ====
All four students are found to be suspects in Uemori's murder, and it appears a needle or another small object is to be to blame. Conan begins to search for locations that could hide a needle. Can any person be proven to be the culprit?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Everyone had HUGE reasons to be angry at Michi Uemori, since she crapped on each one big time. Mrs. Yashiro, because 30 years ago Uemori stole her then-boyfriend and married him without any regards to their long-time friendship; Kaoru, because Uemori's son Tatsuhiko was an abusive husband (in fact, her eyepatch covered a black eye he just gave her during a fight) and Uemori kept backing him up; Yuko, because Uemori stole all of her original recipes to make them pass as her own in her next cooking book; Nishitani, because Uemori refused to sponsor him and favored someone else, thus seriously damaging his dream to open his own restaurant. The killer was actually '''Hiroaki Nishitani''', but not for her lack of support, but because he was in love with Yuko and wanted to avenge how Uemori ruined the career of the girl he liked.

The murder weapon was a very thin sewing needle, which Nishitani hid in his fountain pen. When he had excused himself to go to the bathroom he set up a block of ice under the breaker, along with a wire attached to a ring and large weight. When the ice melted, the weight would go down and as a result would pull the wire connected to the ring on the breaker switch. He also put on special contact lenses, tinted contact lenses that kept his pupils shielded from the light.

Once the trick to turn off the lights had darkened the entire house, he opened the back door, removed his contact lenses and was able to make out just enough to take out the sewing needle and swiftly pierce Uemori's lung with it, knowing that due to her respiratory problems she would soon die. To not harm his fingers, he used his ring to push the needle further, and then took it out pulling the string tied to it, using as a makeshift thimble; this was easily seen when it turned out Nishitani was the only person among the suspects wearing a ring on his fingers.

As evidence the contact lenses he used were found in his mixing bowl, as well as the sewing needle in his ink pen. He confesses and states that he did not do this for himself, but for the girl he loved. Uemori had stolen Yuko’s recipes and passed them off as her own, this made him furious as he was alright with being the victim but when it came to the girl he loved that’s were he drew the line.

However, Yuko reveals that she didn’t care that Uemori stole her recipes, as she had intended to open a restaurant together with Nishitani and leave behind the vicious Uemori once and for all. Hearing this he realizes the mistake he’s made and breaks down.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Kouji Takeno'''. His reason was that both he and Ikuta were in love with the same woman, Keiko Togawa, but she died in a hiking incident where the group had to leave her in the mountains to search for help and couldn't return in time to save her from freezing to death. Later, Takeno found out that Ikuta messed up with the group in purpose to have the unfortunate Keiko dead since she rejected his affections in favor of Takeno's. Ikuta was actually ''bragging'' about it while drunkenly rambling to the also drunk Kusaka.

The weapon of choice was actually Takeno's socks, which are very resistent special socks used by sportsmen and specially by hikers. He easily filled them with lots of small rocks he got from an aquarium, since they wouldn't break; once he built a very hard and heavy "weapon", which would easily kill a person if used to hit them, Takeno put the used some fishing rope to tie everything up, and then launch it towards Ikuta, who was merely standing in the street while smoking.

Ikuta was a heavy smoker, so Takeno could easily see his lit cigarette and pinpoint his improvised "sock full of rocks" towards him; the blood in the different buildings came from the "sack" bouncing on them due to the full strength of the impact. The proof came when some strands of wool coming from the socks were found in the aquarium: Takeno returned the rocks to their original place but the tiny strands remained, and Takeno had not changed his socks, which had Ikuta's blood on them.</spoiler>

:* Keiko Togawa - Pamela Harding
* In the Funimation Dub Kouji and Keiko had secretly eloped three weeks prior to the mountain trip, and he had taken a life insurance policy on her. When Yoshiro caught wind of his plan, Kouji had to cut him in. They worked together to kill Keiko for the money, however, when Kouji came to her, she was still alive, and he was the one that killed her, taking the chance as he was the first one in the group to reach her. His reason for killing Yoshiro in the dub was because Yoshiro was bragging about the plan while he was drunk.

=== Situation ===
Kenjin Hanaoka is a popular painter who seems to have everything that a man could want: his own design firm, best selling books, and untold wealth. But when he decides to eat the forbidden fruit and have an affair with one of his pretty, young illustrators his life starts to come apart at the seams. But rather than face the consequences of his mistakes, Hanaoka tries to cover them up in a brutal and bloody manner. Can Conan see through his ingenious plot and expose Hanaoka for what he really is?

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

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

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

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

==== Part 1 ====
Sonoko tricks Ran into attending a cooking class by famous French chef Michi Uemori, and in order to go she invites her father and Conan. When the group arrives, they met several other people: Uemori's assistant, Yuko Komiyama, Michi's daughter-in-law Kaoru, and the cooking students Kazue Yashiro and Hiroaki Nishitani. Finally, the cooking class teacher Michi Uemori shows up. Conan, Ran, and Kogoro learn everyone seems to have something against the instructor, who is also a very unpleasant person. At some point the lights go out, then Uemori gets stabbed in the back and her lung is punctured, causing her to die. Now Conan and Kogoro have to decipher four suspects's agenda against her, but can they find the killer?

==== Part 2 ====
All four students are found to be suspects in Uemori's murder, and it appears a needle or another small object is to be to blame. Conan begins to search for locations that could hide a needle. Can any person be proven to be the culprit?

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Everyone had HUGE reasons to be angry at Michi Uemori, since she crapped on each one big time. Mrs. Yashiro, because 30 years ago Uemori stole her then-boyfriend and married him without any regards to their long-time friendship; Kaoru, because Uemori's son Tatsuhiko was an abusive husband (in fact, her eyepatch covered a black eye he just gave her during a fight) and Uemori kept backing him up; Yuko, because Uemori stole all of her original recipes to make them pass as her own in her next cooking book; Nishitani, because Uemori refused to sponsor him and favored someone else, thus seriously damaging his dream to open his own restaurant. The killer was actually '''Hiroaki Nishitani''', but not for her lack of support, but because he was in love with Yuko and wanted to avenge how Uemori ruined the career of the girl he liked.

The murder weapon was a very thin sewing needle, which Nishitani hid in his fountain pen. When he had excused himself to go to the bathroom he set up a block of ice under the breaker, along with a wire attached to a ring and large weight. When the ice melted, the weight would go down and as a result would pull the wire connected to the ring on the breaker switch. He also put on special contact lenses, tinted contact lenses that kept his pupils shielded from the light.

Once the trick to turn off the lights had darkened the entire house, he opened the back door, removed his contact lenses and was able to make out just enough to take out the sewing needle and swiftly pierce Uemori's lung with it, knowing that due to her respiratory problems she would soon die. To not harm his fingers, he used his ring to push the needle further, and then took it out pulling the string tied to it, using as a makeshift thimble; this was easily seen when it turned out Nishitani was the only person among the suspects wearing a ring on his fingers.

As evidence the contact lenses he used were found in his mixing bowl, as well as the sewing needle in his ink pen. He confesses and states that he did not do this for himself, but for the girl he loved. Uemori had stolen Yuko’s recipes and passed them off as her own, this made him furious as he was alright with being the victim but when it came to the girl he loved that’s were he drew the line.

However, Yuko reveals that she didn’t care that Uemori stole her recipes, as she had intended to open a restaurant together with Nishitani and leave behind the vicious Uemori once and for all. Hearing this he realizes the mistake he’s made and breaks down.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Sonoko tricks Ran into attending a cooking class by famous French chef Michi Uemori, and in order to go she invites her father and Conan. When the group arrives, they met several other people: Uemori's assistant, Yuko Komiyama, Michi's daughter-in-law Kaoru, and the cooking students Kazue Yashiro and Hiroaki Nishitani. Finally, the cooking class teacher Michi Uemori shows up. Conan, Ran, and Kogoro learn everyone seems to have something against the instructor, who is also a very unpleasant person. At some point the lights go out, then Uemori gets stabbed in the back and her lung is punctured, causing her to die. Now Conan and Kogoro have to decipher four suspects's agendas against her, but can they find the killer?

==== Part 2 ====
All four students are found to be suspects in Uemori's murder, and it appears a needle or another small object is to be to blame. Conan begins to search for locations that could hide a needle. Can any person be proven to be the culprit?

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Everyone had HUGE reasons to be angry at Michi Uemori, since she crapped on each one big time. Mrs. Yashiro, because 30 years ago Uemori stole her then-boyfriend and married him without any regards to their long-time friendship; Kaoru, because Uemori's son Tatsuhiko was an abusive husband (in fact, her eyepatch covered a black eye he just gave her during a fight) and Uemori kept backing him up; Yuko, because Uemori stole all of her original recipes to make them pass as her own in her next cooking book; Nishitani, because Uemori refused to sponsor him and favored someone else, thus seriously damaging his dream to open his own restaurant. The killer was actually '''Hiroaki Nishitani''', but not for her lack of support, but because he was in love with Yuko and wanted to avenge how Uemori ruined the career of the girl he liked.

The murder weapon was a very thin sewing needle, which Nishitani hid in his fountain pen. When he had excused himself to go to the bathroom he set up a block of ice under the breaker, along with a wire attached to a ring and large weight. When the ice melted, the weight would go down and as a result would pull the wire connected to the ring on the breaker switch. He also put on special contact lenses, tinted contact lenses that kept his pupils shielded from the light.

Once the trick to turn off the lights had darkened the entire house, he opened the back door, removed his contact lenses and was able to make out just enough to take out the sewing needle and swiftly pierce Uemori's lung with it, knowing that due to her respiratory problems she would soon die. To not harm his fingers, he used his ring to push the needle further, and then took it out pulling the string tied to it, using as a makeshift thimble; this was easily seen when it turned out Nishitani was the only person among the suspects wearing a ring on his fingers.

As evidence the contact lenses he used were found in his mixing bowl, as well as the sewing needle in his ink pen. He confesses and states that he did not do this for himself, but for the girl he loved. Uemori had stolen Yuko’s recipes and passed them off as her own, this made him furious as he was alright with being the victim but when it came to the girl he loved that’s were he drew the line.

However, Yuko reveals that she didn’t care that Uemori stole her recipes, as she had intended to open a restaurant together with Nishitani and leave behind the vicious Uemori once and for all. Hearing this he realizes the mistake he’s made and breaks down.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Shortly after the class started, Kogoro bent down to ask Conan, "What's a [[Wikipedia: Agaricus bisporus|Champignon]]?," apparently knowing the 7 year old boy knew that it was the French word for "Mushroom".
* As Kogoro was talking about how Kaoru Uemori used her eyepatch so her covered eye, so when it went dark, she could see, which was proven to be plausable, by the Mythbusters in their pirate specials.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>After a thorough investigation, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals the culprit to be Shiro's wife, '''Kyoko Shibata'''.

* Because of the time frame between the murder and its discovery, Conan removes Shizuka and Yoshikawa from the suspect list. If Shizuka did murder Shiro, fled the crime scene, and went to hire Kogoro in order to create an alibi as the first to discover the body, then she should have known that the door wasn't locked and would’ve used it as an excuse to get everyone inside to the crime scene, not to stall the discovery time and the time of death further. Moveover, it's unlikely for her to not have noticed the photo in the victim's hand and retrieve it, since it would've been an incriminating piece of evidence against her. Likewise, Yoshikawa had a large amount of time to dispose of possible evidence(s) against him, and had no need to return to the crime scene after almost half the day had passed, and even if that's the case, it's unlikely for him to keep the arrived Kogoro and the rest from leaving if he wanted to sneak into the crime scene.

* Conan reveals that Kyoko falsified Shiro's time of death by placing the morning newspaper by Shiro's late night supper after she returned from the golf club in order to pretend it was breakfast, and by using a timed video cassette recorder to record a show the time of murder would be shifted to during the morning, thus she would be removed from the suspect list due to having an alibi during the time frame. Kyoko originally intended to become the first discoverer of the body, but after she heard a message from Yoshikawa she decided to let him play the role instead of her. She hid inside the emergency exit until the time came and pretended that she had just returned from the golf club.

* Conan reveals that the photo of Shizuka was used to hide Shiro's real dying message, his '''wedding ring covered in blood''' in his right hand, which he noticed after seeing the ring mark on his palm. After she successfully removed the ring, Kyoko knocked down the photo album to make it appeared that Shiro used his last strength to grab the photo. Failing to put the ring back in Shiro's finger, she used bandages to cover the ring mark and took the ring with her, planning to dispose of it after the police left. The fact that she is in possession of the bloodied ring is solid proof that she is the murderer of her own husband.

== Motive ==
Kyoko confesses and reveals that Shiro was addicted to gambling in Mahjong with Yoshikawa, causing them to fall in debt and forcing them to sell many of their possessions such as their television, jewelry, LD player, etc. When she heard that he had decided to sell her set of golf clubs and the dowry given to them by her father as their wedding gift she was forced to kill him. Before being taken by the police, Kyoko asks to change her clothes first, Conan realizes that the dowry she meant was in fact a katana that she was trying to use to commit suicide.

Conan rushes over and opens the door revealing Kyoko with the Katana, she threatens them and tells them to stay away. However Shizuka tells them to leave this to her and she pulls out her folding fan while slowly walking towards Kyoko. Kyoko swings the katana wildly but shizuka manages to block it with her fan at the same time swiftly disarming Kyoko in an instant.

Shizuka reprimands Kyoko for trying to take another life, however Kyoko confused says that she was trying to take her own life. But Shizuka calls her a fool stating that every life is valuable including hers and that she should not take these things lightly. Kyoko willingly surrenders and remains quiet as she is taken away by inspector Yokomizo. After Kyoko is taken away, Conan asks Shizuka about her true identity after noticing that she had lied to them four times:
* If she has dust allergy, it's unlikely that her hobby is knitting with yarn.
* She easily identified the fish in the victim's meal by it’s slices, meaning that she is skilled at cooking.
* Coincidentally, like Kyoko, Shizuka hides the fact that she is married by covering her wedding ring mark with bandages.
* There is no character named Reiko in the novel, as what she was referring to at the café was actually Rei-Co (冷コー) or Ice Coffee. She wanted to order the said drink, but relented as only Osakan would call Ice Coffee by that term.

Heiji and Kazuha arrive and reveal that Shizuka Ikenami is actually '''Heiji's mother''' from Osaka. Shizuka confesses and tells Kogoro that she wanted to see what kind of person he was since Heiji was injured the last time he visited Heiji in Osaka.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Masaya Amamori'''. First, at 7:25 he left the backyard saying he was going for a bit of coal he had already prepared the fishing line and pole you'd hid beforehand and carried out his trick before innocently going back to the party and he employed the newspaper sheets used for the stick to carry the coal. Judging by the length of the wire, the wire remained hooked up for ten minutes. In other words, they heard the gunshot at 7:35 which means the culprit left the party during the ten minute time frame from 7:25. He is the only one that could have done it.

Masaya confesses and reveals none of them knew the real Ryuichiro Kanazawa, that he's certain of that, and revealing the one who designed the Shanghai Museum of Modern Art was actually Masaya Amamori. Then one day, Masaya and Ryuichiro have an arguement about the design and Ryuichiro said, "Are you saying that I stole your design? Don't be so foolish, do you have any proof?" Then Masaya said, "I have always respected you, master!" But then, Ryuichiro said "I will only said this: You do not realize your current position, the design has won the eye of the public thanks to me and my name, if you want to stay here, be very careful about what you say." Then he walked out. At that moment, he swore to himself that he wouldn't allow him to attend the prize ceremony. And reveals that he was the stalker correspond with him.</spoiler>

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

{{InfoBox Crime

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.

== 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 ===
==== Part 1 ====
Conan enters a Sherlock Holmes contest to win a rare first-edition book and persuades Ran Mouri and Kogoro to attend. Once at the place of the contest, everyone must take a 1000-question test about Sherlock Holmes. Heiji also attends and reveals to Ran that he thought he would meet Shinichi there. Later that day, Hiroyuki Kanaya, the host, is seen driving his car off a cliff and into the ocean.

| description = He appeared to had driven the SUV off the cliff, but when Conan and Heiji looked inside the window when the SUV was about to drive off the cliff, they noticed a lot of strange things.
}}

Hiroyuki's death is presumed to be a murder and contestant Ayako Oki reveals she knows who the murderer is.

Later a garage explosion and fire occurs, after dousing the flames Ayako is found dead.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime =

| suspects = Ikuo Kawatsu, Toshiaki Fujisawa, Nanako Shimizu, Hitomi Iwai, Maria Toda, and Kento Togano
| description = Ayako went to get something in the back of a SUV. The murderer told her to get it. The car then ignited and exploded with her in it.
}}

Next, a blackout occurred and Toshiaki Fujisawa, another contestant, is stabbed in the arm with an ice pick due to the timely intervention by Conan and Heiji who realize that the murderer is indeed among them.

{{InfoBox Crime

| suspects = Ikuo Kawatsu, Nanako Shimizu, Hitomi Iwai, Maria Toda, and Kento Togano
| description = A fuse breaks and the lights go off. Conan and Heiji barely notice an item (ice pick) about to hit the victim. They dive and knock Toshiaki over so it doesn't kill him but is instead stabbed in the arm.
}}

==== Part 2 ====
After Conan reveals his insight, Heiji believes Conan is actually Shinichi Kudo. Heiji reveals that, when Kanaya was in the car, his body had already undergone rigor mortis. At that moment, Conan and Heiji realize who the murderer is. Heiji decides to wait for Conan to solve the case in order to see if he really is Shinichi. Conan tranquilizes Heiji and makes his deduction.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan accuses '''Kento Togano''', claiming he placed Hiroyuki in the car after murdering him. Kento, then placed and set Hiroyuki's foot on the brake and once rigor mortis had set in, turned on the car's heater, shifted the car into drive, and opened the garage. The heat caused Hiroyuki's body to leave rigor mortis quicker than usual, easing pressure on the brake and causing the car to accelerate into the ocean. The car fully accelerated after the car hit a speed bump causing his foot to completely shift off the brake pedal. The corpse had to be thrown down the cliff so the time of death wouldn't be found out.

For Ayako's murder, Kento told Ayako the book was hidden in a car in the garage. The car had a punctured gas tank and the batteries were dead. With the batteries dead, the car’s headlights did not work, forcing Ayako to use her lighter, igniting the fire because of the gasoline fumes that had scattered over time. He killed her because she found out he was the murderer, Ayako found out he was the killer because she found evidence that proved he was the murderer.

Since the garage fire was designed for Toshiaki, Kento decided to create a makeshift blackout and stab him. Togano was in the kitchen and he had the chance to manipulate the plug to create the blackout. Kento then asks Heiji for evidence, and Conan reveals the evidence Ayako discovered and mentioned: the questionnaire that they were all given.

Ayako had answered many of the questions however she did not know the answers to the other more difficult questions so she tried to cheat off of his questionnaire. However this unintentionally caused her to figure out that Kento was the murderer as she discovered that not a single question on the questionnaire had been filled in, because Kento apparently knew the host would be dead.

Faced with the evidence, Kento reveals that he did all this because he despised "Irene Adler Sneer", a book created by Hiroyuki and Toshiaki that had Sherlock's equal laughing at him as she would never do such a thing. Heiji wakes up and decides to blackmail Conan into revealing who he really is. Afterwards, Conan reveals his identity to Heiji, as well as how he shrank.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Two SUV in the case are Brown 1991 Mitsubishi Pajero [V20].
* The inn is named "Mycroft", which is the name of Sherlock Holmes' older brother.
* On May 4, 1891 is the day Holmes fell off of a cliff with Professor Moriarty.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Ikuo Kawatsu - Burt Bledsoe
:* Toshiaki Fujisawa - Ernie Bower
:* Nanako Shimizu - Nancy Schmit
:* Hitomi Iwai - Betsy
:* Maria Toda - Moira Krupp
:* Hiroyuki Kanaya - Harry Kanucka
:* Kento Togano - Alex Carr
:* Ayako Oki - Sheila Sands
* In the Funimation Dub, Heiji states that he was conscious the entire time and makes no mention of Conan speaking without an accent, whereas in the Japanese Version he specifies when he became conscious and noted that Conan didn't mimic his accent (Which the Funimation Dub never incorporated into Heiji).

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

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

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

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

| description = On the way to visit the late daimyo and their ancestor (Motonari), Kogoro, Ran, and Conan stumble on the murder of Seiji Hario that the police are investigating. The suspicion quickly falls on the four friends who all have motive to murder him. However, everyone has an airtight alibi. Is the murderer the work of an outsider?
}}

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

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

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

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

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

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Ryosuke Shiina'''. First, he added codes in the verses that you recited, the seventh word from the seventh verse, ninth word from the ninth verse and the eleventh word from the eleventh verse. It says "I am the culprit". And then, you recited provoking verses while subconsciously confessing that it was Ryosuke Shiina. Adding his message in your verses, ridiculing both Kogoro and the police, chuckling away. Judging from that part of your personality, Kogoro thought that with the appropriate conditions, you would definitely recite the verse stolen from Ushikubo, as his own. With the simple reason that you really like this verse. The proof is Ryosuke said, "I like verses with emotions, like the love of a father for his daughter". And the required conditions were, having Yagisawa taken into custody as the suspect, and connecting the thirteenth verse on flowers from the verse prior to it in shiritori manner. Just as Kogoro via Conan had predicted, you read the verse you stole from Ushikubo, as if to personally display your victory. He can know something like that easily by setting up some video cameras, that was under the hedge, Conan found some tripod marks, he had gone to Teien Art Museum in the morning, and set up a video camera by the pond. With, Ushikubo's spare cellphone that he had stolen, you sent a text message to Yagisawa, then he went to Matsue Castle and murdered Ushikubo. After that, you placed Yagisawa's eye medication near Ushikubo's finger, then threw the raincoat and the murder weapon at Gesshoji, retrieved the video from Teien Art Museum and nonchalantly you returned to the hotel. The proof is Ushikubo's dying message, that wasn't pointing to the bamboo nor to the samurai's mansion. The message was the number, '1'. That means the first verse of linked verse called Hokku. Then, asked Detective Tsubaki, the result of his observation is the the shoes of Ryosuke, on the left foot, topmost left hook, they confirmed Ushikubo's stretched bloody index finger fingerprints. In other words, his dying message was the hook on your shoe. His heart was probably taken in by the verse in Ushikubo's notebook and didn't notice him touching the hook on your shoe. The final evidence why Kogoro suspect Ryosuke was his first suspicion were when he was drawing a lots last night. Normally, the one who created the lots would draw last. But, he went on the second draw, he said "Next, according to age line up, will be my turn". He manipulated the lots at that time for Ushikubo to pick an easy place to be murdered and gave himself the furthest location where you could create your alibi easily.

Ryosuke confesses and reveals Ushikubo is tricking them out of their money, he couldn't forgive him.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Sonoko tricks Ran into attending a cooking class by famous French chef Michi Uemori, and in order to go she invites her father and Conan. When the group arrives, they met several other people: Uemori's assistant, Yuko Komiyama, Michi's daughter-in-law Kaoru, and the cooking students Kazue Yashiro and Hiroaki Nishitani. Finally, the cooking class teacher Michi Uemori shows up. Conan, Ran, and Kogoro learn everyone seems to have something against the instructor, who is also a very unpleasant person. At some point the lights go out, then Uemori gets stabbed in the back and her lung is punctured, causing her to die. Now Conan and Kogoro have to decipher four suspects's agendas against her, but can they find the killer?

All four students are found to be suspects in Uemori's murder, and it appears a needle or another small object is to be to blame. Conan begins to search for locations that could hide a needle. Can any person be proven to be the culprit?

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Everyone had HUGE reasons to be angry at Michi Uemori, since she crapped on each one big time. Mrs. Yashiro, because 30 years ago Uemori stole her then-boyfriend and married him without any regards to their long-time friendship; Kaoru, because Uemori's son Tatsuhiko was an abusive husband (in fact, her eyepatch covered a black eye he just gave her during a fight) and Uemori kept backing him up; Yuko, because Uemori stole all of her original recipes to make them pass as her own in her next cooking book; Nishitani, because Uemori refused to sponsor him and favored someone else, thus seriously damaging his dream to open his own restaurant. The killer was actually '''Hiroaki Nishitani''', but not for her lack of support, but because he was in love with Yuko and wanted to avenge how Uemori ruined the career of the girl he liked.

The murder weapon was a very thin sewing needle, which Nishitani hid in his fountain pen. When he had excused himself to go to the bathroom he set up a block of ice under the breaker, along with a wire attached to a ring and large weight. When the ice melted, the weight would go down and as a result would pull the wire connected to the ring on the breaker switch. He also put on special contact lenses, tinted contact lenses that kept his pupils shielded from the light.

Once the trick to turn off the lights had darkened the entire house, he opened the back door, removed his contact lenses and was able to make out just enough to take out the sewing needle and swiftly pierce Uemori's lung with it, knowing that due to her respiratory problems she would soon die. To not harm his fingers, he used his ring to push the needle further, and then took it out pulling the string tied to it, using as a makeshift thimble; this was easily seen when it turned out Nishitani was the only person among the suspects wearing a ring on his fingers.

As evidence the contact lenses he used were found in his mixing bowl, as well as the sewing needle in his ink pen. He confesses and states that he did not do this for himself, but for the girl he loved. Uemori had stolen Yuko’s recipes and passed them off as her own, this made him furious as he was alright with being the victim but when it came to the girl he loved that’s were he drew the line.

However, Yuko reveals that she didn’t care that Uemori stole her recipes, as she had intended to open a restaurant together with Nishitani and leave behind the vicious Uemori once and for all. Hearing this he realizes the mistake he’s made and breaks down.</spoiler>

User talk:I was testing XD

2025-06-23T06:26:09Z

I was testing XD: /* Consistency conventions (and welcome to our wiki) */

== Consistency conventions (and welcome to our wiki) ==

Hello I was testing XD, and welcome to our (unofficially defined) team of contributors! You recently made multiple edits involving a change of "Non-canon" to "Extended canon". While these could be a valid edits, it might be better to try and keep the naming consistent across the wiki. As you may notice, the greater majority of the other character pages still use "Non-canon". Even if we were to decide to change it, some preliminary discussion would be recommended due to its extent across our wiki. For now, I'll revert those edits to keep the consistency. Take care! --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 22:41, 21 June 2025 (UTC) P.S. What I've just described is both a bit of an unspoken rule and, I will confess, affected by my personal views, so consider it as a suggestion rather than a hard rule.

That's fair. I'll admit it was rash of me to edit as such without a discussion beforehand. May I know where I can discuss this? I can't do it on the forums because it said I need mod approval for my posts. --[[User:I was testing XD|I was testing XD]] ([[User talk:I was testing XD|talk]]) 06:26, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

User talk:AvidConanContributor

I was testing XD: /* Detective Conan canonicity */

== A request for some collaborative discussion (elsewhere) ==
Hey Avico! Thanks for writing me. I have not had the time to take a look at the interview and the related info but it does seem pertinent enough to be included somewhere on the Wiki. The "somewhere" is what I'm still not sure of, but it could be included directly in Gosho's biography and the "Detective Conan" page in a "history" segment or something along those lines. I'm currently overseas for business so I won't be much active these months and I'll be reaching out to the other admins to get a Discord server created for DCW users. Don't hesitate to contact other admins on their talk page, as there really is no general talk section that everyone would be able to see, less they're following "recent changes". No definite answer as for the Discord server yet, but please feel free to add the info where you feel more suitable and we'll lend you a hand if we see something atrociously OOP. Cheerios! --[[User:Nakamura|'''Nakamura''']] [[User talk:Nakamura|'''talk''']] 04:07, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

== Some trivial remarks ==

Long time no talk, Avico! I saw some of your open discussions you left last week. Since my exams were palpable so I had no choice but tentatively leave the wiki for a month or so (I'll be formally back next week). Matters are here and there, so I'll just start a general talk ''here'': 
1. '''Right Column Template:''' I saw your attempt at changing the countdown display by adding an "in" in front of the countdown template. I have also tried to attain that, but the [[Template:Latest news]] is seemingly obstructing me in doing so, and thus I implemented the dumbest method - that is simply adding "in" inside the countdown template. 
2. '''Main Page Padding:''' Thanks for paying attention to the render of the main page and the defect concerning the right column; it was in fact a careless act whereupon I just lifted the other <nowiki><div></nowiki> tags without adjusting the padding (now from padding 10px to 0px) and the issue is resolved. 
3. '''Aoyama Documentary:''' I was rather agitated after I saw you comment on this. There is no fear in deciding whether this page should be created. I read somewhere from this wiki (probably written by Maurice) that "as long as the content is Detective Conan-related, they ''are'' eligible to stay". There isn't any information or entires on other Conan wikis too, but some editors from the Chinese [https://www.conanpedia.com/ Conanpedia] are planning on the creation of this article as well, despite imcomplete: [https://www.conanpedia.com/User:%E6%B0%B8%E8%BF%9C%E7%9A%84%E5%B0%8F%E5%B7%A5%E8%97%A4/%E6%B2%99%E7%9B%92/%E8%A1%8C%E5%AE%B6%E6%9C%AC%E8%89%B2] 
4. '''Countdown Sandbox:''' This continues from the relative talk page; I replied to you with those words only because I thought I was "forcing" you to alter the countdown template, yet if you are spontaneous with regards to it, then all is well! It is rather challenging, as in my outlook, even if it was "dynamic" accurate to seconds, it might still require refreshing. Or else we have to amend other source codes, perhaps? 
5. '''Discord Server:''' I also second the fact that the wiki should have its own Discord server. Since almost every other wiki has their own channels for "private" communications. 
6. '''Did you know:''' I was trying to make this segment switch "automatically", or better saying, altering at regular intervals. ChatGPT provided me this scheme, which is somewhat doable. But there is still another problem: the templates only switch when editors edit their pages... I am still trying to find alternatives, as you see this is not optimal. (UPDATE - now it seems to be working perfectly fine! The modulus operation was removed and it shall change every hour looping from subpages of number 1 to 6) 
May the day be the best day you have ever had - a precious member of the DCW! --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 21:24, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

== Automated right column ==
Thank thee for thy attention. Please check this out: <pre>{{LE|971|The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|part=1|January 18, 2025}}</pre>

{{LE|560|The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|part=The Late Komei|December 19, 2009}}

It is surprisingly working! Now I believe the template is complete; it should work for all cases, even when the "part" parameter is non-numeric! --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 19:43, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

== To Be Or Not To Be? That's No Longer The Question ==

Avico, I must say something about the [[Template:Rightcolumn]].

I will not interfere with it anymore due to multiple reasons - currently time is of the essence for me; I will not waste any more of my time conducting this non-sense dispute and Rum is indeed correct, time is money.

The reason I abandoned the first version of the [[Template:Latest news]] and added [[Template:LE]] and [[Template:NE]] was to avoid the excessive use of parameters:

</pre></div></div>

Which one is more '''simplified'''? I wonder.

I do not mean to be overbearing, and would let other wiki editors' ideas to be put on the wiki. However in the premise of it being plausible. There is absolutely no need to intentionally find faults just to convince other people. First off, you were not being fair in "but I've found that these two episodes don't get written correctly", and by listsing examples of "the subheading of 'The Desperate Revival' is a hyphen instead of brackets" or "the subheading of 'Meiji Restoration Mystery Tour' is a colon instead of brackets" - the template is used for '''displaying useful information only''' and not for the accuracy of if it should be a hyphen or whatever. Furthermore, those episodes were broadcast many years ago ("The Desperate Revival" was at the start of the millennium) and so it will be extremely unlikely to have a similar case in years to come. Your reason given pertaining to "harder to debug" is also rather far-fetched to me, everything was indented nicely and fairly easy to spot the logic.

Now, regarding your latest message: I can accept the fact that "you replaced the template" but please do not give excuses such as "I found a glitch in your version". It was only faulty because you changed the [[Template:Latest news]] and not because the previous scheme was not working as it should be - even the [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Rightcolumn&diff=377346&oldid=377331 first version] is so lately.

Neither am I upset nor am I indignant; I just hope that we can communicate in a more truthful way rather than finding concoctive excuses like this - once again thank you for your engagement in this wiki and I will step aside from the [[Template:Rightcolumn]] from now on; good luck for you! --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 22:20, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

Hey Avico I have seen it just now! Your version is essentially the same as the former one. It only "embeds" the repeated parameter <code>date-of-birth</code> into the template itself. I just forgot to include that. The rest I think, is the same. What I referred to in the discord server would be practically unachievable without any switcheroos like "inserting Lua module" or "amending common.css" that Mr. GPT suggested.

Pretty Sure that now i have my summer along, so i could actually spend some of the time i have to watch Conan and doing summary for missing episode (with current season being set priority), Well until my storytelling isn't consistent, as some episode i don't have much content too add in like some other. What do you think if i do average of 2-3 episode summary/day with the pace tho (I still trying to make sure of the quality around) ?

== Detective Conan canonicity ==

Hi, I saw your message on my wall, and I'll admit it was rash of me to make changes without discussions beforehand. With that being said, while I was watching Detective Conan, I've discovered that the anime original episodes aren't necessarily non-canon. They are considered to be extended canon. One proof of this is going back to [[The Locked Bathroom Murder Case]], we saw references of characters that didn't exist in that manga chapter, but the anime version of that chapter included those characters (e.g. [[The Fourteenth Target|Minoru Nishina]] and [[The Death God Jinnai Murder Case|Hayato Nanjo]]). It means that they do indeed exist in the anime continuity of Detective Conan. There are more examples of this which I'll provide later. And thus, Detective Conan has 2 canons/continuities, the manga continuity and the anime continuity, which the anime continuity consists of everything happened in the manga + anime-original episodes + the movies. --[[User:I was testing XD|I was testing XD]] ([[User talk:I was testing XD|talk]]) 06:25, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Hey Avico! Thanks for writing me. I have not had the time to take a look at the interview and the related info but it does seem pertinent enough to be included somewhere on the Wiki. The "somewhere" is what I'm still not sure of, but it could be included directly in Gosho's biography and the "Detective Conan" page in a "history" segment or something along those lines. I'm currently overseas for business so I won't be much active these months and I'll be reaching out to the other admins to get a Discord server created for DCW users. Don't hesitate to contact other admins on their talk page, as there really is no general talk section that everyone would be able to see, less they're following "recent changes". No definite answer as for the Discord server yet, but please feel free to add the info where you feel more suitable and we'll lend you a hand if we see something atrociously OOP. Cheerios! --[[User:Nakamura|'''Nakamura''']] [[User talk:Nakamura|'''talk''']] 04:07, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

== Some trivial remarks ==

Long time no talk, Avico! I saw some of your open discussions you left last week. Since my exams were palpable so I had no choice but tentatively leave the wiki for a month or so (I'll be formally back next week). Matters are here and there, so I'll just start a general talk ''here'': 
1. '''Right Column Template:''' I saw your attempt at changing the countdown display by adding an "in" in front of the countdown template. I have also tried to attain that, but the [[Template:Latest news]] is seemingly obstructing me in doing so, and thus I implemented the dumbest method - that is simply adding "in" inside the countdown template. 
2. '''Main Page Padding:''' Thanks for paying attention to the render of the main page and the defect concerning the right column; it was in fact a careless act whereupon I just lifted the other <nowiki><div></nowiki> tags without adjusting the padding (now from padding 10px to 0px) and the issue is resolved. 
3. '''Aoyama Documentary:''' I was rather agitated after I saw you comment on this. There is no fear in deciding whether this page should be created. I read somewhere from this wiki (probably written by Maurice) that "as long as the content is Detective Conan-related, they ''are'' eligible to stay". There isn't any information or entires on other Conan wikis too, but some editors from the Chinese [https://www.conanpedia.com/ Conanpedia] are planning on the creation of this article as well, despite imcomplete: [https://www.conanpedia.com/User:%E6%B0%B8%E8%BF%9C%E7%9A%84%E5%B0%8F%E5%B7%A5%E8%97%A4/%E6%B2%99%E7%9B%92/%E8%A1%8C%E5%AE%B6%E6%9C%AC%E8%89%B2] 
4. '''Countdown Sandbox:''' This continues from the relative talk page; I replied to you with those words only because I thought I was "forcing" you to alter the countdown template, yet if you are spontaneous with regards to it, then all is well! It is rather challenging, as in my outlook, even if it was "dynamic" accurate to seconds, it might still require refreshing. Or else we have to amend other source codes, perhaps? 
5. '''Discord Server:''' I also second the fact that the wiki should have its own Discord server. Since almost every other wiki has their own channels for "private" communications. 
6. '''Did you know:''' I was trying to make this segment switch "automatically", or better saying, altering at regular intervals. ChatGPT provided me this scheme, which is somewhat doable. But there is still another problem: the templates only switch when editors edit their pages... I am still trying to find alternatives, as you see this is not optimal. (UPDATE - now it seems to be working perfectly fine! The modulus operation was removed and it shall change every hour looping from subpages of number 1 to 6)

== To Be Or Not To Be? That's No Longer The Question ==

Avico, I must say something about the [[Template:Rightcolumn]].

I will not interfere with it anymore due to multiple reasons - currently time is of the essence for me; I will not waste any more of my time conducting this non-sense dispute and Rum is indeed correct, time is money.

The reason I abandoned the first version of the [[Template:Latest news]] and added [[Template:LE]] and [[Template:NE]] was to avoid the excessive use of parameters:

There is absolutely no need to intentionally find faults just to convince other people. First off, you were not being fair in "but I've found that these two episodes don't get written correctly", and by listsing examples of "the subheading of 'The Desperate Revival' is a hyphen instead of brackets" or "the subheading of 'Meiji Restoration Mystery Tour' is a colon instead of brackets" - the template is used for '''displaying useful information only''' and not for the accuracy of if it should be a hyphen or whatever. Furthermore, those episodes were broadcast many years ago ("The Desperate Revival" was at the start of the millennium) and so it will be extremely unlikely to have a similar case in years to come.

No definite answer as for the Discord server yet, but please feel free to add the info where you feel more suitable and we'll lend you a hand if we see something atrociously OOP. Cheerios! --[[User:Nakamura|'''Nakamura''']] [[User talk:Nakamura|'''talk''']] 04:07, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

== Some trivial remarks ==

Long time no talk, Avico! I saw some of your open discussions you left last week. Since my exams were palpable so I had no choice but tentatively leave the wiki for a month or so (I'll be formally back next week). Matters are here and there, so I'll just start a general talk ''here'': 
1. '''Right Column Template:''' I saw your attempt at changing the countdown display by adding an "in" in front of the countdown template. I have also tried to attain that, but the [[Template:Latest news]] is seemingly obstructing me in doing so, and thus I implemented the dumbest method - that is simply adding "in" inside the countdown template. 
2. '''Main Page Padding:''' Thanks for paying attention to the render of the main page and the defect concerning the right column; it was in fact a careless act whereupon I just lifted the other <nowiki><div></nowiki> tags without adjusting the padding (now from padding 10px to 0px) and the issue is resolved. 
3. '''Aoyama Documentary:''' I was rather agitated after I saw you comment on this. There is no fear in deciding whether this page should be created. I read somewhere from this wiki (probably written by Maurice) that "as long as the content is Detective Conan-related, they ''are'' eligible to stay". There isn't any information or entires on other Conan wikis too, but some editors from the Chinese [https://www.conanpedia.com/ Conanpedia] are planning on the creation of this article as well, despite imcomplete: [https://www.conanpedia.com/User:%E6%B0%B8%E8%BF%9C%E7%9A%84%E5%B0%8F%E5%B7%A5%E8%97%A4/%E6%B2%99%E7%9B%92/%E8%A1%8C%E5%AE%B6%E6%9C%AC%E8%89%B2] 
4. '''Countdown Sandbox:''' This continues from the relative talk page; I replied to you with those words only because I thought I was "forcing" you to alter the countdown template, yet if you are spontaneous with regards to it, then all is well! It is rather challenging, as in my outlook, even if it was "dynamic" accurate to seconds, it might still require refreshing. Or else we have to amend other source codes, perhaps? 
5. '''Discord Server:''' I also second the fact that the wiki should have its own Discord server. Since almost every other wiki has their own channels for "private" communications. 
6. '''Did you know:''' I was trying to make this segment switch "automatically", or better saying, altering at regular intervals. ChatGPT provided me this scheme, which is somewhat doable. But there is still another problem: the templates only switch when editors edit their pages... I am still trying to find alternatives, as you see this is not optimal. (UPDATE - now it seems to be working perfectly fine! The modulus operation was removed and it shall change every hour looping from subpages of number 1 to 6) 
May the day be the best day you have ever had - a precious member of the DCW! --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 21:24, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

== Automated right column ==
Thank thee for thy attention. Please check this out: <pre>{{LE|971|The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|part=1|January 18, 2025}}</pre>

{{LE|560|The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|part=The Late Komei|December 19, 2009}}

It is surprisingly working! Now I believe the template is complete; it should work for all cases, even when the "part" parameter is non-numeric! --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 19:43, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

== To Be Or Not To Be? That's No Longer The Question ==

Avico, I must say something about the [[Template:Rightcolumn]].

I will not interfere with it anymore due to multiple reasons - currently time is of the essence for me; I will not waste any more of my time conducting this non-sense dispute and Rum is indeed correct, time is money.

The reason I abandoned the first version of the [[Template:Latest news]] and added [[Template:LE]] and [[Template:NE]] was to avoid the excessive use of parameters:

<div style="display: flex; gap: 10px;"><div style="padding: 10px; width: 45%;"><h4>New Version</h4><pre>

}}
</pre></div></div>

Which one is more '''simplified'''? I wonder.

I do not mean to be overbearing, and would let other wiki editors' ideas to be put on the wiki. However in the premise of it being plausible. There is absolutely no need to intentionally find faults just to convince other people. First off, you were not being fair in "but I've found that these two episodes don't get written correctly", and by listsing examples of "the subheading of 'The Desperate Revival' is a hyphen instead of brackets" or "the subheading of 'Meiji Restoration Mystery Tour' is a colon instead of brackets" - the template is used for '''displaying useful information only''' and not for the accuracy of if it should be a hyphen or whatever. Furthermore, those episodes were broadcast many years ago ("The Desperate Revival" was at the start of the millennium) and so it will be extremely unlikely to have a similar case in years to come. Your reason given pertaining to "harder to debug" is also rather far-fetched to me, everything was indented nicely and fairly easy to spot the logic.

Now, regarding your latest message: I can accept the fact that "you replaced the template" but please do not give excuses such as "I found a glitch in your version". It was only faulty because you changed the [[Template:Latest news]] and not because the previous scheme was not working as it should be - even the [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Rightcolumn&diff=377346&oldid=377331 first version] is so lately.

Neither am I upset nor am I indignant; I just hope that we can communicate in a more truthful way rather than finding concoctive excuses like this - once again thank you for your engagement in this wiki and I will step aside from the [[Template:Rightcolumn]] from now on; good luck for you! --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 22:20, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

== Follow-up for "communications elsewhere" ==

Hey Avico :) Thanks to many people's attention, your longing for communications on other platforms has just achieved. There is now a separate thread under the #detective-conan channel of the DCEN discord server. Please join it [https://discord.gg/jK9XGc9 by clicking this link]. I will mention you afterwards so that you can join the thread. --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 10:32, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

== RE: New age calculation for InfoBox Staff ==

Hey Avico I have seen it just now! Your version is essentially the same as the former one. It only "embeds" the repeated parameter <code>date-of-birth</code> into the template itself. I just forgot to include that. The rest I think, is the same. What I referred to in the discord server would be practically unachievable without any switcheroos like "inserting Lua module" or "amending common.css" that Mr. GPT suggested. We are not programming; why bother "extracting strings"? I think it is okay, I also appreciate your responsibility and attention on this, thanks. --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 10:40, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

== About Contributor Stuff ==

Pretty Sure that now i have my summer along, so i could actually spend some of the time i have to watch Conan and doing summary for missing episode (with current season being set priority), Well until my storytelling isn't consistent, as some episode i don't have much content too add in like some other. What do you think if i do average of 2-3 episode summary/day with the pace tho (I still trying to make sure of the quality around) ? '''Khá chắc bây giờ tui nghỉ hè rồi nên sẽ có thể dành 1 phần thời gian có để xem Conan và tóm tắt lại nội dung tập phim (Với mùa 30 vẫn sẽ có là ưu tiên cao nhất), Mà có lẽ cách dẫn dắt của tui nó cũng ko nhất quán mọi lúc , 1 số tập thì tui để nó ngắn hơn nhiều so với các tập khác. Bạn nghĩ sao với cái tiến độ 2-3 tập mỗi ngày của tui (tất nhiên tui cũng sẽ cố đảm bảo chất lượng cho nó) ?

P/s : I use gg doc and sometimes, even rewrite the whole sentence when trying for the summary. --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 14:03, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

== Detective Conan canonicity ==

Hi, I saw your message on my wall, and I'll admit it was rash of me to make changes without discussions beforehand. With that being said, while I was watching Detective Conan, I've discovered that the anime original episodes aren't necessarily non-canon. They are considered to be extended canon. One proof of this is going back to the episode Locked Bathroom Murder Case, we saw references of characters that didn't exist in the manga, but the anime version of that chapter included those characters (e.g. Minoru Nishina and Hayato Nanjo). It means that they do indeed exist in the anime continuity of Detective Conan. There are more examples of this which I'll provide later. And thus, Detective Conan has 2 canons/continuities, the manga continuity and the anime continuity, which the anime continuity consists of everything happened in the manga + anime-original episodes + the movies. --[[user:I was testing XD|I was testing XD]

==Template talk:InfoBox TV - In need of technical assistance :S==
Hi Nakamura. I'm sorry to bother you with this, I always try and stay out of the moderator's lane, I know how busy you can be. I tried posting my question on the page's talk, but nobody answered me and I thought that maybe no one could even see that I edited the page. Therefore, I'm writing to you, hoping not to disturb you more than needed. This is my problem:
I'd like to add to the anime episodes pages a link to Detective Conan Anime Shonen Sunday Comics Visual Selection (but only for the episodes that were actually transposed to manga), just like the box present at the bottom of the template in the movies' pages. Is there a way to do it? I apologize but I can't understand how this works, the code is too difficult for me. Also, I'd like to link Detective Conan Movies and Specials Shonen Sunday Comics Visual Selection to Detective Conan Lupin The Third Vs Detective Conan Special, The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History, Detective Conan Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small, Conan and Ebizo's Kabuki Jūhachiban Mystery, Detectives' Nocturne, Mystery Train, The Scarlet Return, Holmes' Revelation, Black Impact, The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid, Conan vs. Kaitou Kid, Kaitou Kid's Miraculous Midair Walk, Kaitou Kid vs. Makoto Kyogoku, The Scarlet School Trip, The Betrayal's Stage, The Wizard of the Ripples, Kaiju Gomera vs. Kamen Yaiba, A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night, The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages, Parade of Malice and Saint, The Girl from the Black Organization and Reunion with the Black Organization as well.--[[User:Vsc|Vsc]] ([[User talk:Vsc|talk]]) 16:15, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Hello Nakamura, I wanted to leave you a notification regarding my [[Detective Conan Wiki:Discussion#Should we create an article for this recent NHK-World Japan documentary on Gosho Aoyama?|Should we create an article for this recent NHK-World Japan documentary on Gosho Aoyama?]] discussion on the Detective Conan Wiki:Discussion page. It's been posted for a few days, and frankly, no one has replied. I'm not any sort of attention-seeker, as you might describe, but I would appreciate it if you could just take the time to read and leave a reply to my discussion. P.S. If you know a way that I can notify fellow wiki contributors without posting anything onto their talk page, then that would also be very helpful. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:04, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

'''{{nihongo|Vodka|ウォッカ|Wokka}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is [[Gin]]'s partner and, like him, was first introduced under the name of Kaspar in the English manga, but then was later renamed to Vodka.

== Background ==
Vodka is a member of the [[Black Organization]] who is often seen by Gin's side. His official position is that of secretary in the general oversight division<ref>Conan Drill page 237. Vodka's position is 全体監視役秘書係 which roughly translates to General Oversight division secretary</ref>, so he handles most of the research and information for the duo, such as setting up meetings (309-311), and relaying information to other members (54, 345). Vodka is often seen using some transport.

== Appearance ==
Vodka has a muscular body, a wide chin making him look more like a member of the mafia, yakuza or simply a thug. Vodka wears a black fedora with a red stripe around it, also he wears black clothes but his shirt is red. Vodka is mostly seen wearing black glasses.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vodka calls Itakura.png|thumb|left|200px|Vodka makes a phone call to Itakura, but instead of him, Agasa and Conan are in Itakura's cottage.]]
Vodka speaks and acts like a typical mafia or Yakuza type gangster, and he is just as ruthless a killer as his partner Gin. However, he is also more easy-going and trusting than the latter, thus making him more susceptible to traps Conan sets to apprehend the Organization. In addition, he tends to not perform well under stress without guidance from Gin or other characters, as exemplified in [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] when, distracted by Gin being sedated, he fails to realize Shiho is escaping and stop her before it is too late.

While his astuteness is largely overshadowed by Gin, Vodka can notice details that Gin does not, sometimes to the point of endangering Conan. An example of this would again be in Sherry’s Return, where Vodka noted Haibara’s partially consumed bottle of ''[[paikaru]]'' and the unfolded laptop containing data about [[APTX 4869]]. (She had left these behind in order to be able to climb through the chimney and successfully escape from the room before the two arrived).
On the bullet train's dining car,<ref>Note that in the anime, their appearance was replaced by a pair of generic lookalike criminals.</ref> Vodka spotted a piece of gum that Conan had previously planted; however, Vodka then confirmed it was just a piece of gum, apparently unaware of the tracker hidden inside.
Another example occurred while Vodka was on the phone with Conan, who at the time was impersonating the Organization contact [[Suguru Itakura]] with his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice changing bowtie]]. During the conversation, Vodka heard the click of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] turning on the lights in the background, although Conan again alleviates his suspicions by telling him that the sound was just the wind blowing. 

== Abilities ==
=== Marksmanship ===
Vodka is a fairly accurate shot with handguns. In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] he pretty accurately shoots at adult height where Conan is standing behind the door. Note that in the anime, Vodka is depicted as shooting wildly because the animators mistook the drawings of the muzzle flash for wall impacts.

=== Memory ===
Vodka apparently has a good memory. He could recall offhand the conditions, reasons, and circumstances of the Shinichi's death quite some time after the fact when Gin asked.

== Plot overview ==
Vodka was the first Black Organization member introduced to the series.

=== Blackmail Transaction with a Company Owner (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===
[[File:Vodka's blackmail transaction.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vodka conduct a blackmail transaction with a company owner.]]
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Murder of Akemi Miyano (Manga: [[Volume 2|16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]]) ===
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|150px|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]
In order to free both her sister and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. Meanwhile, Gin and Vodka meets Masami, who call her Akemi Miyano. Gin asks where the money is. Akemi refuses to reveal the location without them giving up her sister, since she'd done the job on the condition that the two of them could leave after. Gin answers that her sister, as a "top brain" in the organization, is too indispensable to have ever considered giving up. Akemi refuses Gin offer of one last chance to reveal the money cache.

=== Bullet Train Case (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]]) ===
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|150px|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]
Gin and Vodka board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.

=== Game Company Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]]) ===
[[File:Tequila talk with Vodka by phone-call.jpg|left|thumb|right|200px|Conan overhears Tequila start a phone-call with Vodka.]]
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima. The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him.

Meanwhile, Conan sees Tequila again on their way back, trading tag 98 for a Mantendo-employee briefcase. Conan is curious, but decides it's not his problem until he overhears the man start a phone-call with Vodka by identifying himself as Tequila and ask Vodka to tell Gin that he promise to meet both of them later.

Tequila and Vodka speak over the phone, though Vodka's dialogue is never heard in the episode, and we're left to interpret it through Tequila's responses. Tequila is easily frustrated talking to Vodka, though it may just be from Conan distracting Tequila for a few seconds. Neither Gin or Vodka appear in the episode aside from some background shots, and Vodka doesn't have lines.

=== The University Professor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 18|179-180]] and [[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===
[[File:Conan realize Vodka voice.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Haibara realize Vodka disguised as a person from "Kuro Life Insurance".]]
Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. Shiho mistakenly sent him an APTX 4869 disk when it was mixed up for a disk of Akemi's pictures Shiho was sending back via the professor's address. The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Reunion with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume 24|238-242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|176-178]]) ===
Gin and Vodka are planning to eliminate someone, and already has a member named [[Pisco]] in Haido City Hotel. Pisco recognizes Haibara's childhood form and on Gin's order, kidnaps her from the wake after he murders the target. Then Gin and Vodka are on their way to the hotel and intercept her, in Shiho's form, on the roof. Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara.

In the chimney, Haibara meet Kenzo Masuyama who is revealed to be Pisco. When he is just about to shoot Haibara, Conan reveals himself to Pisco. Ethanol fumes are set alight by Pisco's cigarette and the whole cellar catches fire. Conan and Haibara escape in the confusion. Pisco hears someone getting down the chimney. He thought that it was Conan and Haibara, but it was actually Gin who had survived from Conan's tranquilizer darts.

== Extended canon plot overview ==
=== Differences in the anime ===
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
==== The Shinkansen's Bomb Case ([[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|Anime 5]]) ====
In the manga, this case occurred after [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin and Vodka are replaced with unrelated criminals who look and dress very similarly. The replacement of Gin and Vodka created a continuity error because the episode omitted how Conan learned their codenames, which was important to identifying Tequila as a member of the Black Organization in the [[Game Company Murder Case]]. In the Funimation dub, they fixed this continuity error by having Heiji Hattori hint the code names Gin and Vodka.

==== The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case ([[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|Anime 13]]) ====
In the manga, this case occurred before [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin was replaced by a similar looking man with glasses who shot but did not kill Akemi Miyano. This created a rather large continuity error.<ref>Akemi's participation in the robbery was a deal she made with the Black Organization stipulating that if she successfully stole the money, she and her sister would be freed. However, the Organization had intended for her to fail so they could kill her for having a relationship with the FBI infiltrator [[Shuichi Akai]]. Although Akemi was successful, Gin killed her anyway. Her death, which the Black Organization refused to explain, was part of the motive that led to Sherry betraying the Organization.</ref> The continuity error was corrected in [[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|episode 128]]. Other information that wound up being delayed included Gin revealing that Akemi had a scientist sister who was valuable to the Organization, and that he was left handed based on how he held his handgun.

==== Murder of Akemi Miyano ([[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|Anime 128]]) ====
Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Meanwhile, Gin and Vodka meets Masami, who call her Akemi Miyano. Gin asks where the money is. Akemi refuses to reveal the location without them giving up her sister, since she'd done the job on the condition that the two of them could leave after. Gin answers that her sister, as a "top brain" in the organization, is too indispensable to have ever considered giving up. Akemi refuses Gin offer of one last chance to reveal the money cache.

=== Special Manga Appearances ===
==== [[Special Volume 35#Protect the Luxury Liner from the Virus|Protect the Luxury Liner from the Virus (Part 1)]] ====

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Gin ===
Vodka is a subordinate of [[Gin]]'s and they frequently work together as a team, or are seen communicating with one another by phone. Vodka shows Gin absolute respect, using honorifics<ref> Vodka refers to Gin as "aniki", which literally means "big brother" and is a quasi-affectionate term for people within a tight social circle. However, the term is also used by yakuza-types to respectfully refer to their bosses.</ref> while speaking with Gin rather than just simply using his codename. Gin in turn values Vodka for his obedience. Gin views and treats Vodka as an "inexperienced little brother".<ref name=CD239a>Conan drill page 239: 出来の悪い弟分</ref>

=== Tequila ===
Vodka and [[Tequila]] are approximately equally ranked, though despite being equals, Tequila is very impatient and easily frustrated with Vodka during their phone call in The Game Company Murder Case. Unlike Vodka, Tequila doesn't use honorifics when referring to Gin, showing that Vodka likely has more respect for Gin given their frequent partnership. Both are Gin's subordinates.<ref name=CD239/>

=== Sherry ===
Vodka is acquainted with [[Shiho Miyano]], and is just as willing to kill or harm her as Gin, as shown in Reunion with the Black Organization, though likely would leave any finishing blows for Gin to execute. <ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
Throughout the series, Vodka has not been shown as having any negative emotions regarding [[Vermouth]], unlike other members of the organization (like [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]). Vodka and Vermouth have been seen along on missions sometimes, but in general they don't pay much attention to each other.
She does tease Vodka about his lack of literary knowledge when he fails to understand how Haido Park could be a place most suited for hunting.

=== Chianti ===
During the [[Episode 1079|The Black Organization's Scheme]], he and Chianti hunt down FBI Agent Andre Camel, and Chianti asks him about what Rum looks like, and Vodka relays the info he knows from Gin regarding Rum. The two seem to have a mutual respect for each other despite their limited interactions together. Just like Tequila, Chianti and Vodka are both subordinates of Gin.

=== Korn ===
Korn and Vodka don't interact much, but likely respect each other, and seem to get along fairly well, and both are Gin's subordinates.

== Character popularity ==
eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Vodka placed 25th in the poll with 10 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Vodka is the name of a type of wine made by the distillation of converted substances such as grains, potatoes, or sometimes fruits or sugar.

Vodka's English dub name, Kaspar, is the name of one of the three Magi in Christian tradition. In accordance with that theme, Gin's English name, Melchior, is also the name of one of the Magi.

== Character inspiration ==
Vodka is modeled after a bad guy who was in the movie ''[[Wikipedia: Diva (1981 film)|Diva]]'', a guy with good body build.<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Vodka was the first Black Organization member to appear and speak. In the first episode of the anime, he rushed towards the roller coaster yelling, "Move it! Move it! We were here first!". His bulky body blocked Gin from view for a few seconds, who was walking right behind Vodka. Gin remained silent as they boarded the roller coaster and only uttered his first words after the murder took place.
* Vodka has never been seen taking off his hat or sunglasses. His eyes were shown only during episode 345.

{{nihongo|'''Conan Edogawa'''|江戸川コナン|Edogawa Konan}} is the alias used by [[Shinichi Kudo]] in his shrunken form. Shinichi took the appearance of his six or seven-year-old self after being exposed to a prototype poison called [[APTX 4869]], which he had been forced to swallow by two men in black later revealed to be members of the [[Black Organization]].<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]]</ref> The poison de-aged Shinichi's entire body except for his nervous system and therefore he still has the personality, memories, and incredible deductive ability of his teenage self. Conan's goal is to hunt down the Black Organization and have them arrested for their crimes, as well as find an antidote to the APTX 4869. To do so he plans to make the washout detective [[Kogoro Mouri]] famous in hopes of attracting cases related to the Black Organization.

Conan is often treated as a separate character from Shinichi by fans and often viewed as the main character of the series while Shinichi is viewed as a recurring character. He has become a popular figure in Japan and even appeared on numerous occasions in different anime series (i.e. mainly cameo appearances) as well as other media.

== Background ==
''Conan Edogawa'' is [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s alter ego. He did not exist before the chain of events, involving members of the [[Black Organization]], that led Shinichi to transform back into a child.

[[File:APTX 4869 given to Shinichi.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi being drugged.]]
=== The Transformation ===
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi brings his friend [[Ran Mouri]] to [[Setting#Tropical_Land|Tropical Land]], a local theme park, to celebrate her victory in the Metropolitan Karate Championships. He later ends up solving a murder case there.<ref name="e1" /> As they are leaving, Shinichi witnesses a suspicious exchange between an unknown businessman and [[Vodka|a man in black]] in a secluded area by the Ferris wheel. While spying on the suspicious men, Shinichi does not notice [[Gin|another man in black]], who knocks him out from behind and forces him to swallow a new experimental poison known as [[APTX 4869]]. They then leave him to die. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurred. Shinichi's body shrunk back to that of his six-year-old self.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 59: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> In desperation and confusion, Shinichi heads back to his house and runs into his next-door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. After a few attempts at proving he's Shinichi, he finally succeeds in convincing the Professor. The latter warns him he must keep his identity secret as the [[Black Organization]] will surely try to kill him and others associated with him should they learn the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>
{{clearleft}}
[[File:Agasa shinichi.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi as Conan in his shrunken form with Hiroshi Agasa first time met and Professor Agasa will go to
Report to the police about this kid.]]

=== Taking a new identity ===
Shinichi comes up with the alias Conan Edogawa using the mystery author names [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Edogawa Rampo|'''''Edogawa''''' Rampo]] and pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's who then places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2" /> Ran's father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], owns a Detective Agency which may provide a chance for Conan to run into a case involving the Black Organization. However, Kogoro is a terrible detective with little credibility. Using helpful gadgets that Agasa makes, Conan sets out to improve Kogoro's detective reputation by solving cases for him while also hiding the truth that Conan is the one solving cases. By knocking Kogoro out at crime scenes with a fast-acting [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer]] and using a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice modulator]] to relay deductions in Kogoro's voice, Conan creates 'Sleeping Kogoro'. The conceited Kogoro enjoys his newfound reputation and the money it brings in so much that he doesn't question why he is suddenly passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep.

=== Creation of the Detective Boys ===
Conan enrolls at [[Teitan Elementary School]] to further protect his identity and is befriended by classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], who create the ''[[Detective Boys]]'' not long after.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case|Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> In the beginning he found the kids annoying, but he started to warm up to them and even gives them missions to accomplish.

[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan stuns Kogoro with his wristwatch, ready to solve a case!]]

=== Solving cases ===
As Conan, Shinichi helps Ran's father solve cases by putting him to sleep and simulating Kogoro's voice using the special bowtie gadget Professor Agasa made for him. He also spends a good amount of time with his Detective Boys fellows and solves many small cases with them and sometimes in the company of Professor Agasa. In some situations, when there's only Ran, Sonoko, and himself, he will use Sonoko instead to solve the case at hand. Because of that, Sonoko eventually becomes another moderately well-known "sleeping" detective, although her reputation is only known to the local police investigation team and Sonoko's friends. In many later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterward that Shinichi told him what to say.

=== Encounter Black Organization ===
Soon after being shrunk, Conan sets the plan to pursue and arrest the Black Organization members. Initial attempts were in vain until Haibara appears and starts giving clues on their whereabouts. However, in some of his early attempts, Conan tends to underestimate the ability of the Organization, leading to situations where he or his close friends being harmed and almost killed. Once understood the Organization and having allies to help, among them Shuichi Akai, who had been undercover in the organization and knows their ways, his later plans are more successful to foil Black Organization's plans, although he hasn't been able to expose the Black Organization and arrest their members yet.
{{clear}}

== Personality ==
As Conan, Shinichi tries to behave like a child. He refers to Ran as "Ran-neechan" (''nee-chan'' meaning older sister, a common nickname Japanese children give to teenagers and young adults they look up to), and refers to Shinichi as "Shinichi-niichan" (''nii-chan'' meaning older brother). He also refers to Kogoro as "Oji-san" or "Occhan" (both meaning Uncle), although he also does this as Shinichi. As Shinichi, he refers to Conan as usually "Conan-kun" or the "Kid in the Glasses". Shinichi treats Conan as a separate person completely, thinking for example, "changing back into Conan".

[[File:Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]
[[File:Ran conan do not tell.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi (Picture from the "[[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode one]]" version).]]
Conan remains very close to Ran, who in return is very protective of him. However, because Ran is unaware of his true identity, Conan often finds himself in awkward situations with her, such as when she confessed her feeling for Shinichi to him and when she made him bathe with her at a hot spring.

Conan's intelligence remains intact even though he has shrunken into a child. As Shinichi, his deductive ability earned him the monikers "[[Wikipedia: Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and "Savior of the Japanese police force". Conan maintains extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases and escape tricky situations. Conan tries to speak in a child-like manner when dealing with adults, but he often gets caught up in the current case and begins speaking like an adult, referring to advanced topics and using reasoning much too complex for a normal child. When this happens, he often tries to pass it off as "something [he] heard on TV" or "taught by uncle Kogoro/professor Agasa/Shinichi-niichan".
Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he is called out for talking about either subject in too much detail, he tries to escape suspicion by saying it was something Shinichi told him about. Although as the series has progressed the adults around him have
become more used to his "being quite smart for a child", causing him to behave more like himself around them, he still tries to pass as a normal child.
[[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan whispers to [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]]
The only police officers with whom Conan can speak professionally are the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], especially [[Jodie Starling]], [[Shuichi Akai]], [[James Black]], and Inspector [[Kansuke Yamato]] of the Nagano Police, all of whom suspect that there is more to Conan than meets the eye.

Conan tends to act more like himself around the [[Detective Boys]], even to the point that they find it odd when he acts like a child around adults. He will often play games like baseball with the Detective Boys, but he is too used to soccer to perform well and will even instinctively use soccer techniques, such as kicking in games that do not call for it. Because he is unfamiliar with popular games and TV shows and bad at video games, Genta and the others tend to think of him as dumb. This annoys Conan so much that he will secretly watch TV in the living room after Kogoro and Ran go to sleep to get more "practice" in.

While he thinks that criminals should be punished, he also seems willing to give culprits, who have attempted murder due to misunderstandings and fail, a second chance and let them off the hook.<ref>The Celebrities' Secret</ref><ref>Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter</ref><ref>Scuba Diving Murder Case</ref><ref>Poisoned Fisherman Attempted Murder Case</ref>

After he had one time failed to stop the culprit from committing suicide,<ref>[[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case|Episodes 11: Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]].</ref> he began to believe that a detective who has cornered a killer and just let him kill himself is no better than a murderer, and therefore he tries to do everything to stop it. At times when he fails to save the killer, it haunts him. At first, he's callous and unempathetic: in The Bandage Man Villa murder case, when the culprit threatens to commit suicide, Shinichi calls his bluff by outright telling him to do it. However, soon after that Shinichi suffers through his own Norbury with the Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, during which a culprit commits suicide because Shinichi identified them without thinking ahead to how the culprit might react. The next two cases were, a culprit planning to commit suicide to have Shinichi removing the lethal tools before confronting them and placing officers around the perimeter to prevent the culprit from jumping respectively—and in each instance, Shinichi is haunted by the death of the culprit in the Moonlight Sonata case, enough to snap at Hattori for offhandedly suggesting it may have been better if they let the culprit of the day kill themself, stating that a detective that allows that is "no better than a murderer himself." The Detective's Nocturne case caps off this development arc, with Shinichi accompanying and befriending a suicidal murderer to form an emotional connection and convince them not to kill themself.

However, an innate characteristic that he has, and probably had as Shinichi may be due to being a detective. Whenever he hears a scream or sees a culprit, he will immediately and without hesitation run toward the sound or culprit instinctively.

If he is with another adult, or detective, he will most likely be in front of 2 people running toward the sound.
If by himself or with some other non-detective, he will still be running toward the sound.
Whether it is a victim or a culprit, he will be one of the first 2 people.

If it is to a victim, and another detective or officer is present, he may hang back a little, but he has no hesitations to checking on the victim, looking for clues, or going after culprits.

And while it may have been somewhat forced on, Shinichi/Conan stops being as attention-seeking as he was in his original body.
Subtle, but during "The 3 'K's of Osaka" story, Conan/Shinichi didn't want to investigate the case because his soccer idol was a suspect (and later confirmed to be the actual culprit). Afterward, he stopped thinking like this, deciding that even if his friends, family, or someone close to either one is a suspect, he will consider that person a suspect until proven otherwise (such as Genta's dad being a possible suspect in "The Culprit is Genta's Dad" or Ran in "Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid").

== Appearance ==
[[File:Conan full face.png|thumb|right|200px|]]
Conan has dark brown hair which mostly hangs downwards just above his blue eyes, but there are also a few strands that stick up at the front and back of his head. Conan's usual outfit consists of a blue blazer with a single button and a pair of shorts, red trainers, and white socks, even though he has taken to wearing more casual clothing as time goes on. He also wears a red bowtie and his dad's old glasses. Both these items were later [[Gadgets|specifically modified]] by Professor Agasa to include a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice changer]], [[Button Speaker|microphone]], and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|homing device]], to aid in Conan in his cases. His [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|red shoes]] have also been modified to harness electric and magnetic fields to stimulate pressure points on Conan's foot, greatly enhancing his kicking power.

Additionally, much like Hattori and Shinichi, Conan is incredibly popular. Ayumi and Haibara both have crushes on him, he has been hit on by girls around his shrunken age repeatedly, and even Jodie and Vermouth have both been charmed by his charisma. One even promised to make him her husband.

Conan eavesdrop Police investigation meeting in [[Zero the Enforcer|Conan the movie 22]] to save Kogoro mouri from being a suspect.]]
All of Shinichi's detective skills carry over to his Conan form, although Conan does not have the reputation Shinichi had. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to remember every detail of an investigation or other topics he cares about and may have a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory photographic memory] to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Conan's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony that other people miss, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies to link them to the crime. Conan has an extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases; something he likely acquired from his incessant reading in his "first childhood". There are only a few people like [[Heiji]], [[Saguru]] and [[Yusaku]] who are at the same detective level as Conan, with Yusaku, be the only person who is noticeably better than Conan.

As a child, Conan can attract less suspicion while investigating crime scenes, get away with searching people's personal property, and ask innocent questions without setting suspects on guard, although it comes with the drawback of not having Shinichi's authority or reputation. He is also shown able to read lips.<ref>[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]</ref>

Additionally, in the [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Red, White, Yellow case]], Conan was specifically referred to and asked for help by a classmate.

=== Observation Sense ===
He is highly observant on almost every single thing in his life, whether at a crime scene or his everyday life, whether he is Shinichi or Conan. If he notices anything amiss, he will frequently leave the Detective Boys, or whoever to investigate immediately, esp. if he thinks the organization is involved, but his curiousity knows no bounds.

It is kind of like his brain will not rest, as long as he is awake because he frequently observes everything, and wants to investigate it.

[[Conan Cornered in the Darkness|At one point]], this is why he was kidnapped, and placed in a coffin with a fake bottom, in an old-style hearse, which the kidnappers did not know was going to be sent to the scrapyard and crushed within hours of placing him in there.

He is also a real people watcher and spends a lot of time watching people help determine careers, emotions, what is going on with them to name a few. If need be he will get up, and investigate further.

He frequently notices momentary facial expressions that are only on a person's face for a second or two, which is all it takes for him to register the true emotions of people and various culprits. Such as a suddenly hidden smile upon finding the body of one's spouse, and the list goes on.

Some examples are the following:

In [[Home of Beika's Grenier]], when the old man used a hand to stand up, despite the presence of 4 little children, Conan noticed instantly the look that the old woman gave her husband since he should not have used his hands to stand up in the presence of others.

In [[The Tense Tea Party]], in [[Haido Central Hospital]], Conan was watching [[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]], and instantly noticed how he reacted after a small child was counting down, "Three... Two... One..." and shouted out, "Zero!!" Since Amuro noticed his reaction, he had to cover it up, and say that "'Zero' was one of his nicknames when he was a little child."

This was the first clue to Conan that Amuro may not just be the Black Organization Member Bourbon, but [[Public Security Bureau|something else too]]. During [[The Scarlet Return]], Conan began to deduce from his observations, that Amuro was from the Japanese Secret Police, which became confirmed by the end of the saga.

Even when he was little he was practicing observing details and guessing careers of people, [[Episode 881|not always accurately]], but he was a little boy at the time. This became much more accurate as he became older, and he retained this knowledge when he shrunk down to Conan.

=== Being Watched or Paranoia Sense ===
However, this particular Sense is the sense to know when he is being watched or observed by others. It may be called Paranoia, but it is not Paranoid if someone is really watching or following him, which he can quickly pick up on usually.

This may stem from his involvement with the [[Black Organization]], and others.

It may also help that his parents like to watch their son in disguise, and [[Yukiko Kudo|esp. his Master Of Disguise Mother]], with his [[Yusaku Kudo|Mystery Author father's]] habit of testing his son's observations and deductions from the time when he was a young child.

This ability is even more important due to the Black Organization wanting both [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] and his [[Shinichi Kudo|teenage self]] 'Dead," since it helps to protect them.

This sense comes in a lesser degree as well:

Although Conan can speak professionally with the FBI, especially [[Jodie Starling]], [[Shuichi Akai]], [[James Black]], and Inspector [[Kansuke Yamato]] of the Nagano Police, all of whom suspect that there is more to Conan than meets the eye, as well as everyone, who know his identity, it does cause problems with everyone else.
He can even speak this way to the [[Detective Boys]].

This Sense also allows him to eventually realize when he is being highly descriptive, and rambling with adult knowledge, for him to quickly cover it up with "saw it on Tv'" "Heard it from [[Kogoro Mouri|Uncle]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], or [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]," and to begin talking and acting like a kid, even though the Detective Boys do not get why he suddenly goes all child-like, which is the only time he does.

It may also help him to know when [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] is suspicious that he is Shinichi Kudo, so he has to attempt to behave more like a child to mislead her for her protection.

This sense also allows him to determine if it is safe to use his tranquilizer on someone for the "sleeping Detective" routine. If he is being too closely watched, he has to continue to give hints, and possibly throughout the entire deduction, if he is unable to tranquilize someone: Kogoro, [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], or someone else, if necessary.

This sense did not seem to activate at all at [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|the shrine]], when he was talking to Jodie, however, after a disguised Bourbon had a little chat with Jodie, and secretly placed a listening device in her sleeve, he wandered off, so that he can continue listening to them.

However, with that deceased pickpocketing case, he and the other pickpocket victims were brought to the crime scene, so he continued listening to Jodie and Conan's conversation, although he did not appear to watch or pay any attention to Jodie, Conan, Agasa, or any of the 4 kids, he probably had a good view of [[Haibara]], unlike every other time, [[Sweet and Cold Delivery Service|when she attempts to hide her face from him]].

If he was visually watching intently, Conan would probably have picked it up, but Bourbon's observations were done in a way, that did not place Conan on high alert, except for when Jodie kept bringing up "Shuu."

Needless to say, after the [[Kogoro in the Bar]] case, when Takagi told him some information, he was really on high alert, and this sense may not have activated due to his panic mode, which was still evident at the beginning of [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well]] case, although he was being observed by Bourbon, who was listening around the corner, however for several hours later, he did appear to be quite paranoid, and maybe that is why it did not appear to activate because he was already on high alert and frightened at the time.

Now, this sense is sometimes just a fleeting sense, however, something does seem to activate it, even if it was just momentarily, but it does leave a hint that someone might be watching him.

=== Speed Reader ===
In [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], he was shown to be able to read through hospital records at a lightning-fast speed.

=== Killer Radar ===
This radar is not completely accurate, but at times, he only has to see a person to know that they are the killer.

In the first episode, he could sense that [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] were killers, but that did not stop him from tailing Vodka, only to be knocked out by Gin, and fed a [[Apoptoxin 4869|poison pill, which made him shrink to the body of a 7-year-old]].

In [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion]], he knew who the killer was within minutes of the body being discovered, and merely had to get the evidence and figure out the trick.

There are many other instances as well.

In [[The Mysterious Woman With Amnesia Case]], he probably would have picked up on the amnesiac woman being a killer, but she did have amnesia, although he highly suspected when he saw her hands, which are the hands of someone who works with wire. He picked up that she was a hitwoman, who specialized in killing by use of a wire garrote, which she used to strangle her victims.

In one episode, someone fell from a balcony, and Conan instantly knew this woman was the killer. The police brought up the information of her husband being killed during a robbery a while back.

After she was questioned and was allowed to leave, Conan began acting and begging her to let him ride in her expensive-looking car, and she did. They left without [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].

He even managed to have her take him to see her place.

After she left him alone, he began investigating, and around the time of his deduction, Kogoro called him, and the call ended soon afterward.

When Conan stated that he knows that she is responsible for the death of her husband, and the guy who just fell, she threatened to kill him, and he lets her know that he hit redial on the phone, and Kogoro stated, "The police are on there way."

=== Suicide Alertness ===
This sense allows him to determine if a person, and most likely the culprit is likely to commit suicide, which would probably be a result of the deduction stage of a case.
Sometimes, it may be simply obvious, with the culprit stating their suicidal intentions, but it is not usually that way, and Conan's sense was developed after a specific incident.

In [[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]], Conan figured out that the serial killer planned to die, like his father, and before their mind could be changed, the culprit threw Conan through the window, just before the building went up in flames. Since that incident, Conan is more determined to take the suicidal choice away from the culprits.

In [[Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case]], Conan had asked, [[Heiji]], "If he ever killed anyone before," stating that he feels that letting a person commit suicide when it can be stopped is the same as killing the person oneself.
While Conan was talking with Heiji, he was also replacing the gasoline with water to stop the culprit's Murder/Suicide.

In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken.

The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency if Kogoro cannot name the killer and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].

After [[the Detective Boys]] managed to do the footwork, Conan was able to finish solving the case, but he first had to stop the gunman from committing a murder/suicide, so he bluffed that the sister killed herself.
After the gunman was arrested, Conan finished solving the case, out of earshot of the suicidal man and named the killer, who is not who they thought it was.

In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], Conan quickly figured out that the woman in the agency's bathroom was the killer of the "accused deceased guy.
After [[Bourbon|Amuro]], [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], Ran, and Conan escorted her home to her apartment, then Conan behaved like he was desperate to use the bathroom, which made sense, since a corpse was on the toilet seat of the apartment until the police removed it, and it is still a crime scene.

When everyone else went to the kitchen for tea or something, Conan rushed to the bathroom and quickly went in the other direction to investigate the apartment. Most likely, he discovered bugs, and especially a bug in the suitcase with another corpse, which was under the bed.

When he was finished with his investigation, he left the apartment and waited for her.

After Masumi called Ran, Amuro and Kogoro realized there are bugs present, and Amuro hung up on Masumi.

Amuro has a bug detector, and while Amuro, Kogoro, and Ran went on the search to discover all of the bugs in the apartment, the woman made up an excuse and immediately bumped into Conan, who was waiting for her.

She agreed to take him with her to a nearby convenience store and gave him some juice, which she drugged with sleeping pills. After he appeared to fall asleep, she continued driving.

When Kogoro, Ran, and Amuro discovered the body and noticed Conan's absence, Kogoro called the culprit/kidnapper, and she stated that Conan will be returned in the morning.

After Kogoro and Amuro did more investigating, and noticing that bank robbery, and that 2 of the suspects are the dead guy in the suitcase and the deceased one at the agency.

Ran told Masumi and Agasa that Conan has been kidnapped, which of course sets the stage for the big rescue scene:

Masumi on her motorcycle

[[Subaru]], [[Agasa]], and [[Haibara]] in Subaru's car, with Haibara wearing the tracking glasses.

Amuro, Ran, and Kogoro are in another Vehicle, with Kogoro in the back seat.

At some point, Conan stopped acting like he was asleep, and gave her his deduction and even helped her to discover which of those 3 women is the third bank robber, who killed her boyfriend in the bank. However, he would not give her the answer straight away, since he told her, "I do not want to lose anyone. I mean you," since he read that she intended to kill the third robber, and then herself.

By bonding with her, he managed to get her to agree to let the police handle it, and to turn herself in, once he told her.
His plan was working splendidly until the third robber, with a shooting gun, entered the car, and grabbed and immobilized Conan, as well as holding tightly to his right wrist, so that he could not tranquilize her, which is where the rescuers came in.

In another episode, Conan was with [[the Detective Boys]], when they came across a man, and after he dropped his lottery tickets, they helped him to pick it up. This man was talking positively about the future, and he even had lunch with the 5 children.

After he left, Conan notified and began teaching the other Detective Boys the signs that this man was about to commit suicide today, and they followed this man to a subway station.

Conan stating, "It'll hurt, you know," referring to jumping in front of the subway train.

Conan and all of the Detective Boys: [[Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko]], [[Ayumi]], and [[Haibara]] told him their evidence that he was about to commit suicide.

Conan even managed to help him to locate the winning lottery ticket that he had lost, which was inside of the eyeglass container that his sick and hospitalized granddaughter gave him. He had not opened it since he lost that ticket. He was contemplating suicide to have his life insurance pay for her operation, thankfully he now has the lottery ticket, which may be able to help his granddaughter.

After all, if he did commit suicide, the insurance company would not have paid it, if they were aware it was a suicide, which thankfully these 5 kids prevented.

Thankfully, Conan began teaching the other Detective Boys some of the signs of a suicidal person, so they may be aware of them next time they find another suicidal person.

=== Bluffing and Telling Lies===
He can bluff if needed to come to the correct deduction. However, he is not a great liar.

Bluffing is giving misinformation, to trip up the culprit. A few examples of Conan's Bluffs are the following:

In [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he stated the incorrect question of number 241 on that Holmes Test to prove that the culprit did not answer any of the 1,000 questions since he knew the test grader was already deceased.

In [[The Case of the Lucky Calico|the Lucky Calico]] case, he told 2 bluffs, although only 1 bluff was discussed:

The first one was to mistake the gender of a male calico, and stating it was a female, to gauge how this "supposed owner" would react since male calico cats are worth a fortune. Conan managed to see the reaction before [[the Detective Boys]] blew it. Either way, this "supposed owner would have backed out if the calico was a female.

The second bluff was discussed when [[Azusa]] stated that she did not know that "when a group of people is together, the cat will always jump to the one in the middle." [[Amuro]] stated that Conan did a bluff so that he can perform his experiment with the calico and the 3 "supposed owners," before remarking that Conan is like a cat sharpening his claws." Amuro also did not state that it was to allow more time to pass, so that the [http://catnip catnip], would not affect [[Taii]] or [[Goro]], so that Taii's true owner can be properly identified.

In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken.

The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency if Kogoro cannot name the killer and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].

After the [[Detective Boys]] managed to do the footwork, Conan was able to finish solving the case, but he first had to stop the gunman from committing a murder/suicide, so he bluffed that the sister killed herself.
After the gunman was arrested, Conan finished solving the case, out of earshot of the suicidal man and named the killer, who is not who they thought it was.

As far as his cover of Conan Edogawa, he does have a hard time keeping others ignorant of his true identity.
It does not help that he behaves more like an adult, when not actively playing with the Detective Boys, and he quickly switches to Adult Mode, if an investigation is in order, due to a crime or something else entirely.

Two major examples of his being a lousy liar:

When he had a hold of [[Kir]]'s shoe, with his bug and transmitter, at the park, she asked him if he followed her, while applying her CIA Lie Test to him.
She made him feel weird, and he did say "no," but she knew that he did follow her, and lied about it. It is a good thing that she previously turned off her camera or wire, so the other [[Black Organization|Black Organization Operatives]] may not kill him. She then thanked him for "picking up her shoe for her," before leaving.

In [[Haido Central Hospital]], [[Amuro]] asked Conan if he remembers his friend, [[Kusuda Rikumichi]], who was a patient, but went missing.
[[The Tense Tea Party|Conan, quickly trying to end that line of questioning from Bourbon, quickly answered, "No."]]

Amuro smiled and told him that he was amazing. He then went to question other people nearby, and returned to Conan, and stated, "Most people are not confident in their memories to instantly remember a person by their name only. Usually, they have to ask questions, before answering."
It is kind of like Amuro was aware of how amazing Conan is at so many different things, but he can't lie to save his life.
It is like Amuro decided to give the kid a tip on how to tell a convincing lie.

=== Strategist ===
He may not have always been a great strategist, but his strategies are becoming much better.

In [[Boy Genta's Misfortune]], he deduced information of the culprit, and ... He may not have organized the stakeout of that building yet, however, he did organize a roadblock with Sato, who got in contact with Yumi in [[The Man from Chicago]], when a [[James Black|foreign man]] was kidnapped. Unfortunately, Yumi did let them through since they were in a police car and dressed as policemen, however when they deduced that Conan came up with a scheme so that the police can surround the culprits, by making it look like they were chasing some kidnappers, who kidnapped some kids. The plan worked wonders. By the way, even James Black the kidnappee, knew who staged his rescue with that ploy, after just one encounter with the five "Detective Boys," and all Conan had to go on was "P & A."

In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], when Conan was on the phone with [[Vodka]], pretending to be the recently found '[[Suguru Itakura|dead guy]],' he successfully managed to move the meet up. He wanted to have the meet before they found out the guy was dead, and he was hoping to get fingerprints, saliva, DNA, etc.

The thing is it may have worked if [[Gin]] did not stop Vodka from touching the item. In short, Gin became aware that someone crafty, like a fox, is after them. In short, Conan forgot, who he was dealing with, the "[[Black Organization|Men in Black]]," and to be more precise, the two that [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|shrunk, and almost killed]] him before.

Conan managed to survive that encounter, but just barely due to Gin discounting something important. At any rate, Conan was stuck in that locker for several hours, and even lost some oxygen, and blacked out for a while. Conan has since that time became much more cautious when dealing with the organization, unfortunately, there is no one-hundred-percent safe way to take on that organization.

In [[Episode 345|Head-To-Head]], after he received an invitation from [[Vermouth]], he asked [[Haibara]] about her, and decided to tranquilize her, and lock her in the basement, and attempted to hide the spare tracking glasses.

He mentioned to [[Agasa]], that [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s name is on the invitation and envelope, and his: Conan Edogawa's name is on the letter, in short, Vermouth knows his identity.

He e-mailed someone and got a reply and a sudden cough.
He inspected his house and found [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother]].

He told his mother about Vermouth, and her knowing his identity. He had her do some disguises.
Yukiko disguised [[Hattori]] as first a teenage Shinichi, and then as the Invisible Man for the party.
She then disguised Conan to took like Haibara.
She then gave herself a Medusa Disguise and accompanied Hattori on the ship with Kudo's invitation.

[[Jodie]] picked up Haibara, who was a disguised Conan, and he told her what to say for Vermouth to reveal herself.

He planned on having her take him into the Organization, but she attempted to kill Jodie, he unmasked himself, and his plan went out the window, when Haibara escaped from the basement, and found the spare tracking glasses, and arrived at the scene since she was tracking Conan.

In [[Clash of Red and Black]], he came up with a few strategies:
He told his plan to [[Akai]], who was heavily involved with both major SECRET strategies.

First, you need a "[[Eisuke Hondo|Prince]] to wake up the [[Kir|sleeping Princess]]," which means Eisuke to wake up his sister, who is continuing to fake her comatose condition.

Then Conan, Akai, Kir, and [[Camel]] are involved in the returning Kir Undercover in the [[Black Organization]], keeping everyone else in the dark, until she is back undercover.

Then Conan came up with the plan to fake Akai's death by out-guessing [[Gin]], the entire way. Only Akai and Kir, as well as Conan, were in on this plan, but Conan could not be present, at this time at all, and did need to give Jodie his phone with the needed fingerprints. Everyone else was left in the dark, except for [[James Black]], who noticed the glue-like substance on Akai's fingertips just before the meet.

In [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]], Conan had even less time to come up with a working strategy, since he did have his guard down. Thankfully, his mother let him know Vermouth was on the train, and he saw the Picture [[Mitsuhiko]] took of [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] when she saved them a little earlier.

He had to quickly come up with a plan, which used an all-star cast of himself, his mother, [[Subaru]], and [[Kaito Kid|Kid disguised as Sherry]] as the finishing touches.

That strategy worked out big time, since they were able to save Haibara's life, discover [[Bourbon]]'s identity, and make Vermouth agree to quit trying to kill her.

In [[Scarlet showdown|the Scarlet episodes]], after Camel let it slip that [[Rikumichi Kusuda|Kusada]] shot himself in the head, Conan had less than a day to come up with a plan that made Bourbon think that Subaru and Akai were 2 different people and to save Akai again.

This time, Akai was in the back of Jodie and Camel's car.

His mother, Yukiko Kudo, was disguised as her husband appearing on tv at an awards ceremony.

His father, Yusaku Kudo, was dressed as [[Subaru]].
His father was wearing a voice-changing facemask and did a bit of coughing.
Sometimes he answered, and Conan listening in another room, with several cameras, had to also use Subaru's voice when talking to Bourbon in the living room.

=== Athletic ability ===
Conan is just as skilled as Shinichi in soccer, but a lot less powerful because he only has the strength of a young child. To make up for this, Conan uses Agasa's power-enhancing kick shoes. Conan uses a signature, powerful precision kick to knock out criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Like Shinichi, Conan's kick is accurate over distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing, snowboarding, and ice-skating.

Conan also has some skill with firearms despite the recoil is much more severe for a child's body. He shoots out a bus window during a bus hijacking and precisely grazes Ran's leg to render her useless as a hostage in the second movie.

Conan's nimbleness is especially noticeable in the non-[[canon]] movies. For example, in the sixth movie, Conan is seen to fight with various antagonists, and he even holds his own against Jack the Ripper, a notorious serial killer who bests even Ran in combat. In the fourteenth movie, Conan does a backflip on his skateboard to avoid being killed by the blimp's hijackers. Conan shows a proclivity for skateboarding. In the movies and anime, Conan can easily perform very complicated tricks and dodges with his skateboard at high speed.

=== Acting Ability ===
He may not have great acting ability, however, he is good enough to accomplish his goals.

In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], he was given some juice, drugged with sleeping pills. He noticed that the safety seal was broken, so he pretended to drink it, and also at some time, appeared to fall asleep, spilling half of the juice on the back seat floorboard of her car, and acted asleep for a long time.

At some point, she even laid him down in the back seat, where he remained in that pose for a long time.

When it was dark, and she stopped to get gas and go to the restroom, she covered him with her coat, so he would not get sick.

He continued acting asleep when she returned, although he probably went through her coat pockets when she was away.

He continued acting asleep, until he decided that he had enough evidence for his deduction, and to give it to her.

In [[Two Days with the Culprit]], after he was kidnapped by Ryousuke Oomine, when he had an opening in some kind of room, he acted like he was scared of a rat or something, and began hugging, but in reality, he was frisking him to determine if he is armed.

After he solved the case, he asked Ryousuke Oomine, "how are you at acting," and they went to the location of the three suspects, and put on an act like he was about to kill Conan, for the culprit to reveal himself. It worked.

In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night]], Conan did a good job of acting like [[Haibara]] in the car with [[Jodie]], but he probably broke character to tell Jodie what to say to [[Vermouth]] to get her to reveal herself to them, but that also earned his trust in Jodie at the same time.

After he removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wristwatch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.

After Vermouth abducted the unconscious Conan and drove some distance away, she e-mailed the boss and began thinking. When she touched his shoulders, she felt some wires and stuff on him, so she cut his coat, and found some tubes going from Conan's body into a box. She started to rip out the wires from the box, and heard, "I wouldn't if I were you." If those wires were pulled, it would send information to the machine that he is dead, and that e-mail that she just sent would be sent to his partner and the police. It is unknown just how long he was asleep, and when he woke up, but he later recalled the sound of the digits to the Boss.

In [[The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History]], the TV Special, while in a public bathroom, and after Conan saw some important evidence, he realized the danger, and faked a slip on the wet floor, where he was promptly chloroformed, and abducted.

When he woke up, he pretended that he had amnesia.
He eventually revealed that he was Edogawa Conan Detective to one of the people involved, however, the amnesiac child act had to continue for the duration of the case.

In [[The Woman with White Hands|The Woman with White Hands Case]], while rehearsing his lines for tomorrow's play, Conan is playing 'Ikku' in the school play.

All of the following: [[Kobayashi-sensei]], [[Rumi Wakasa|Rumi-sensei]] as well as Conan's classmates are astonished at his wonderful acting and delivery of his lines.

He told Haibara that he played that part when he was in third grade, and his parents had trained him well. With [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother being an actress]], and his [[Yusaku Kudo|father being a mystery writer]], who suggested a better phrase for him to say rather than the written line.

In short, neither of his parents would have permitted him to give anything less than stellar performance, so they made certain his performance was perfect. This is why he missed several rehearsals as Conan as he remembered most of his lines.

In [[A Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case]], at a beer garden at night, Conan overheard this man on the phone and surmised that his child had been abducted. Surprisingly Kogoro and Ran listened, and they followed this man, who they found out was a dentist.

However, the only way to find out more, and everything, is to talk to the dentist. Since there may be some onlookers, Conan decided to play the part of a patient.

He did a magnificent job of acting like a little boy who had an excruciatingly bad toothache to convince any onlookers that he was a patient so that they could enter the Dentist's office and talk to the Dentist. He appeared to be even louder than Kogoro on the intercom, asking for his child to be able to see the dentist, even though the dentist's office is closed.

As good as he is at acting, he is not always great at it.

Most notably, when he is petrified.

When he hears the [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children's melody]], he is unable to even act, like it is nothing, and esp. if he hears it in regards to dialing the [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Boss's]] [[The Raven Chaser|E-mail]] [[Dissonance of the Stradivarius Violin|address]].

At the [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|shrine with Jodie]], he was definitely unguarded, and the two did quite a bit of talking: before and after she had been bugged by a disguised [[Bourbon]] (Claiming to be [[Tohei Benzaki|a hostage, who was coincidentally pickpocketed just before being knocked out by Bourbon]], at the same bank with Jodie and the [[Scar Akai|scarred guy]]), until a disguised Vermouth (Claiming to be his [[Motoe Benzaki| 6-month pregnant wife, who taped up Jodie]] at the bank) removed the bug.

In the [[Kogoro in the Bar|Kogoro at the Bar Case]], [[Takagi Wataru|Detective Takagi]] notified Conan, that Tohei Benzaki, claims that he was never involved in a pickpocket case and that he is single, and Conan begins to remember that the Bank robbers separated the hostages, who came with someone, from those who came alone. Only those who came alone taped up the ones who came with others.

This placed Conan in a panicky state, and he began running from the bar, probably to the [[Agasa|professor]]'s house, since it is unlikely that he would have fled back to the Detective Agency, since [[Haibara]] might be in danger. If he did go to Agasa's house, it may also have placed [[Subaru]]/ [[Akai]] in danger too.

In [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|the Bathroom where Ran Collapsed As Well Case]], he was still running from the bar.

He began thinking that Bourbon and Vermouth may have made those purposeful mistakes in their story to trap him into making a mistake too, so he tried to calm down and called Haibara, who is safe, at this time. He then hung up.

Around the corner, Bourbon had been closely watching him, when he was on the phone.

Later that day, [[Ran]] and Conan were in an apartment complex lobby, while they were waiting for [[Eri Kisaki|Ran's mother]], to have lunch.

Conan was attempting to act normal, although he failed miserably since he was looking around the entire time, since they arrived, and probably ever since he hung up from Haibara earlier.

He was so obviously frightened, that Ran asked if he is okay. He answered in the affirmative, but soon afterward, he was sweating bullets.

Ran thought about taking him home, rather than eating with her Mom, since he might be coming down with something.

Soon afterward, an already terrified Conan begins hearing the shutter of a camera and becomes even more terrified. Soon afterward, he saw a camera take his picture from behind a nearby chair, and [[Masumi]] came out of hiding, which helped his fear to disappear, so that he can go back to his normal "Not terrified for your life" state again.

She probably witnessed his fear, while working on a case for her client, but chose to help him to calm down finally.

In short, when he is terrified, he is unable to act like everything is normal.

Another way that he fails at acting is when he cracks the culprit's trick and gets the last bit of evidence for his deduction.

If anyone is watching Conan at these times, he may have some explaining to do.
However, no one is paying attention to him at these many times. They are either not around, due to 'less footwork' or completely ignoring him, unless they (Kogoro) want to get on to him for being where he shouldn't, and react promptly to that reprimand, rather than observing him.

He has shown both of these expressions a lot, and sometimes even both of them.
The first is when he usually figures out the trick, and the momentary reaction he has when everything clicks into place.
The second has finally been termed as a 'Prankster Smile' in the lucky calico case, by the detective boys, most noticeably Haibara and Ayumi in that order to realize that when he shows that smile, he has cracked the case and figured out everything.

Unfortunately, he is frequently unable to act bored much of the time, even as Conan, since he is a genius, who could probably teach his high school teachers things as Shinichi Kudo, and bring him back to elementary school, and he is bored to death if he can't use his intellectual brain, which does help that most of the culprits do have a trick that requires to be cracked if they are to be caught.

However, if a trick, code, or riddle is highly perplexing, Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement, which he is not good at hiding from the observant.

=== Thirst For Intellectual Stimuli ===
In [[The Secret of the Moon, the Star, and the Sun]], Professor Agasa made a treasure hunt game for the Detective Boys, really wanting it to be very difficult that Shinichi would practically give up, forgetting that if it was that way, the three real first graders would be unable to crack it at all.

At any rate, Conan had already cracked the case and found the professor's box within five minutes of entering the house, and he was focused on a much more complex code that someone else had come up with at the house.

The Detective Boys reprimanded Conan for being lazy, and not help to figure out where the clues to the Professor's treasure hunt, so that Conan had to lead the lazy children to each clue, so it is surprising that he did not just tell them where the box is, and don't bother him while he is focused on this less boring code.

However, Agasa noticed Conan's deliriously happy expression when he was getting to solve a complicated riddle. Conan even stated, "The more I don't understand, the more excited I get."

It's worth noting that in [[The Scarlet School Trip]] he calls Ran a difficult case that even Holmes couldn't solve, and says that to decipher the heart of the woman he loves is very difficult. Considering how much he loves solving difficult mysteries, this kind of a confession is perfect for a boy like Shinichi. He also mentions during [[Momiji Ooka's Challenge]] (related to Ran and her heart) that the more difficult it is, the more fun it is to solve.

Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement in these cases, much like his boredom when he cannot use his brain, and [[The Final Screening Murder Case]] showed his limit is only two hours than he HAS to use his brain to be HAPPY.

He only seems happy when he can use his brain or with Ran.

Thankfully, most of the culprits do use a trick or code to excite him, in contrast to a very simple one in [[The Secret of the High Sales]], which was solved by 3 real first-grade children. He even stated at the end of that case, "His brain needs a smart culprit." Due to the simpleness of the culprit, he had a hard time with that case. That may explain why Haibara was uninvolved in that case since she was aware 'the culprit' was too simple and unintellectual for Conan's level of complexity.

In fact, in [[Conan vs. Kaitou Kid]], he was bored at the talk of the thief, since "This is stupid. Thieves are boring.," and planned on going to bed, however as soon as they mentioned a coded message of the announcement, he was all ears. In fact. Even though he cracked the code at Beika Museum, in the daytime, he did not tell anyone else that they were far off the mark.

Instead, he snuck out at night to meet the Kid that night. Conan asked Agasa about tome information in his father's files, before meeting Kid, since he was fascinated to meet Kaito Kid, a "strange retro-thief, whose crazy enough to announce his moves."

Thankfully, there are some detectives and federal agents, where he can show his intellectual stimuli, and this is done by them recognizing that he is the one solving Kogoro's cases and that he is a very smart child, even if they are unaware of who he is:
[[Jodie Starling]], [[James Black]], [[Miwako Sato]], [[Kansuke Yamato]], and [[Yui Uehara]], and even [[Wataru Takagi]], and the famous Shogi player, [[Shukichi Haneda]], an [[Black Organization|undercover]] [[Japanese Intelligence Agencies|Federal Agent]], [[Rei Furuya]].

It is hard to say if he can even hide his intellect and thirst for it from [[Hyoue Kuroda]], a [[Rum]] Contender, since before their [[Kawanakajima Murder Case|first case]], Kuroda had already allowed it to be known that he was aware of Conan's deductive intelligence, by his introduction of Conan, 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and say that Conan can crack cases by seeing what no one else does. Conan Edogawa, Detective," in front of the Nagano Policemen present. In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent]], he refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: Ninzaburo Shiratori and Inspector Yuminaga.

As much as Conan may want to hide his intellect from Hyoue Kuroda until he deduces Rum's identity, it may not be possible.
After all, in a case, Kuroda did tell Takagi and Megure to do whatever Conan says, and in another case, he did instruct Bourbon to answer all of Conan's questions about the case, when he realized that Conan is also investigating this case too.

=== First aid ===
Conan has repeatedly dispensed first aid to stabbed/shot/cardiac/poisoned/hurt victims before the rescuers arrive.

In [[A June Bride Murder Case]], In the manga, Conan rinses out Miss Matsumoto's mouth with milk after he sees her collapsing, to neutralize the poison in her body. It is later stated that this bit of first aid may have been the reason why Miss Matsumoto was discharged from the hospital sooner than anticipated. These parts are cut from the anime entirely.

In [[Scuba Diving Murder Case]], after a woman had suffered a snake bite from a water snake, Conan immediately grabbed a glass of ice tea and gave it to those sucking out the poison, and treating her.

Although Kogoro did not know of any of this, Eri told him, "Ice Tea has Tannin. The first thing to do in the case of a snake bite... is to make use of the Tannin component in tea to clean the wound and alleviate the poison." While Kogoro is flabbergasted that Conan is aware of what to do in a snake bite, Eri states, "That boy is quite sharp. Compared to people like us, sitting here with our arms folded, he's much more of an asset. More importantly, the ex-policeman here doesn't seem to know a thing about this."

In [[The Celebrities' Secret]], is the first case that does go more into detail about Conan's first aid skills, such as giving sugar sticks to a person who attempted suicide with a hypoglycemic drug, which is used to treat Diabetes. The other case that showed his first aid skills was in the Scuba Diving Murder Case, when he quickly grabbed a glass of ice tea, due to the needed Tannin, to combat the poisonous snake bite. In the other case, he handed the tea to the rescuers, however in this case, he began administering it himself.

In all three cases, the person survived, due to his first aid knowledge and skills.

However, these are just three of the cases that showcase it or two in the anime.

=== Stamina ===
It is hard to say about his stamina since he was shrunk down to Conan.
It is not as good when he is in his 17-year-old body since he now has the body of a 7-year-old.

Without Agasa's gadgets, His strength is also that of a 7-year-old too, which includes his kicking strength as well.

However, he is a very active, and maybe hyperactive little kid, who frequently uses his feet and legs, whether running, kicking, and skateboarding around the town. So his feet and leg muscles are probably stronger than when he was first shrunk, but still..., he would be toast without the professor's Gadgets and especially his superkick shoes.

He probably has normal stamina for a little kid, although some of the feats, and esp. in non-canon movies, may seem to exaggerate his stamina, but even in the scene when Ran was pushed in front of a moving train, and Conan immediately jumped down, grabbed her, and dragged her to safety, he was panting afterward.

=== Music ===
[[File:Conan singing.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Conan sings in the Karaoke.]]
Conan cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being [[Wikipedia:tone deaf|tone deaf]]. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Conan has [[Wikipedia:perfect pitch|perfect pitch]] and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody. In Episode 11: [[The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]], he knows that the piano is in tune and deciphers a message at the end just by listening to the notes that are played. Haibara directly described Shinichi Kudo as having a perfect pitch in the last scenes of the twelfth Detective Conan movie, [[Full Score of Fear]]. He also manages to replicate and sing dial tones for a phone, showing that the reason he can't sing is that he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 [[The Secret Played by the Diary|(Episode 614)]], Conan stated he isn't very knowledgeable about music but identified the untuned piano key whereupon Haibara joked about his sharp ears despite being tone-deaf. Surprisingly, Conan recognizes Twinkle Twinkle Little Star lyric from hearing 4 sets of 7-times tapping on the phone and can sing this song very well when he distracts a serial killer from assaulting Naeko in File 1017 [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|(Episode 974)]].

Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in Movie 12, 'Full Score of Fear' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

=== Bomb defusion ===
Conan can defuse a bomb effortlessly without external instruction. This has been demonstrated once in canon, and multiple times in movies.

When Conan was in the area with the bomb, which only he could reach, while the bomb squad was trying to determine the kind of bomb that Conan is with so that they can give the little boy instructions on how to disarm the bomb.<ref name="ep304">[[Episode 304]]</ref>

He had already begun disarming it, and only stopped, when he realized if he waited until 3 seconds before the detonation, he will receive a hint as to the location of another bomb, so he hesitated, and discovered that it was Teitan High School, with the letters E-V-I-T. He also managed to disarm it before it blew up.

=== Criminal psychology ===
Conan shows a keen understanding of criminal psychology, occasionally being able to sense if someone is the true criminal. He can also predict the movement and plan of the criminals, and in some cases, he used this skill to "bluff". By deliberately giving the wrong deduction, he managed to make the criminal reveal the key evidence of the case, confess, abandon suicide's attempt, or lead them to the wrong ends (if they are chasing Conan).

In non-canon, it was shown that if the criminal doesn't conform to the general intellectual pattern, Conan will have trouble deducing their crime, even if it is so obvious that the Detective Boys can deduce perfectly.

[[File:Conan First met Kaito Kid.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan introduces himself to Kaito Kid when they first met. "Conan Edogawa, a detective!" in [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode One]].]]

=== Reverse Psychology ===
In the Clash of Red and Black Arc, he planned along with Shuichi how to replace Kir ack undercover in the Black Organization, without telling the rest of the FBI until it was over, however he did have to outthink Gin.

He had to outthink Gin, and implement Reverse Psychology, if not Reverse Reverse Psychology when planning Akai's Faked death at Railla Pass.

They knew that Kir would have to prove herself by killing Akai and that Gin always kills with headshots, so he would demand that of her.

He also knew it would be at Railla Pass, and used Kusada's body, thanks to that spy shooting himself in the head and committing suicide.

He also knew since Kusada had already touched his phone, make it look to the other FBI Members that Akai touched Conan's phone, but Akai had some substance to keep his fingerprints off of it entirely.

In short, Conan had to predict what Gin would demand and where at, along with Kir and Akai, and at the same time, making Gin think that it is all "his idea."

The only ones allowed in on the following secrets:

Placing Kir back undercover:
Conan, who planned it
Akai
Kir
Andre Camel, who had to drive her.

The other FBI members did not find out until she was placed back undercover, otherwise, they may have given the act away.

Akai's Faked Death:
Conan, who planned it, and even arranged for Akai to meet his Mom and Agasa somewhere else to help his new disguise.
Kir, who was to kill him to prove herself to Gin
Akai, who was to die
James Black, who noticed the glue or substance to Akai's fingertips, just before the fateful meeting.

No one else was let in on that secret at all, until the scarlet episodes, when Jodie and Camel finally learned about it, including Bourbon, who figured it out due to his keen observation skills.

=== "7 Children" or "[[Nanatsu no Ko]]" Alertness ===
This can also be called the Boss's E-Mail Address Alertness as well.

After Conan's confrontation with Vermouth, when he appeared to still be unconscious from his tranquilizer dart, he heard her press the digits on her cell phone to reply to "BOSS" of the Black Organization at the end of Head to Head Halloween Party episode.

He remembered the sounds of the digits being pressed when she was dialing the boss's e-mail address to respond to a message that he had sent her.

Conan may be tone-deaf, but he does have Perfect Pitch and can recognize the tune of the Boss's e-mail address.

At the end of The Dissonance of the Stradivarius Episode 387, he found out those digits are for the song of "7 Children" or "Nanatsu no Ko," which happens to the Boss of the Black Organization's E-mail address.

He can recognize that tune in an instant, and immediately is on the hunt for the Black Organization Member, who just e-mailed their Boss.
He cannot even pretend to act normally when he hears this tune.

Even just the first four digits place him on high alert before he discovered the name of the tune.

Even though Haibara stated that the e-mail address is a Pandora Box, which should never be opened, or dialed.

Since he can recognize the Boss's e-mail immediately, which has shown many times:

After his bug and transmitter, accidentally fell on the ground, and Rena stepped on it, he immediately heard her dial the Boss's e-mail address, and found out her code name of Kir, among other stuff.

That tune also came in handy at finding out that a Black Organization Spy had infiltrated Haido Central Hospital, where Kir was hospitalized due to the e-mail being dialed.

Even in the non-canon movie: The Raven Chaser, after Conan found out that the Boss's E-mailed had been dialed, he immediately chased after a disguised Vermouth, and saw her enter Gin's Porsche. Unfortunately, Irish, another disguised Black Organization Member, who was impersonating the Superintendant Kiyonaga Matsumoto, noticed Conan's behavior, and immediately began investigating Conan, and he even managed to obtain Conan's fingerprints and match them to Kudo Shinichi's fingerprints, when he held that mask and helmet in the Desperate Revival Festival, earlier.
He may not have noticed if it was not for the Panic Mode or Near Panic Mode that this number and song instills in Conan.

=== Computer skills ===
Conan has some programming skills, for being able to create Mouri Detective Agency's website. He doesn't know about hacking, at least he is not able to crack Black Organization's encrypted data.

=== Kaitou Kid radar ===
Conan occasionally seems to be able to sense if [[Kaitou Kid]] is present at a crime scene.<ref>Black Star</ref><ref>Luna Memoria File 964 page 10</ref> Unlike [[Shiho Miyano#"Black Organization sense"|Haibara's "Black Organization smell" sense]], Conan's Kid detector isn't very reliable.

=== Codebreaker and Codewriter ===
He is great at discovering codes, as well as deciphering them.

He frequently can decipher Kid's codes, among many others.
In the paper airplane episode, Subaru and Conan, both managed to decipher the airplane code at about the same time.
He was also able to decipher from E-V-I-T, that the next bomb was Teitan High School.<ref name="ep304"></ref>

He has even been shown to be able to write codes as well. When Conan, Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, were locked in a freezing delivery van, without their cell phones, and all they had on hand were some odds and ends, taxi receipt, and Taii, the cat. Conan managed to create a code out of the taxi receipt, which would look like trash to almost everyone, except the only person who would be able to decipher it in an instant, Amuro, who works at Café Poirot, and Taii makes his stop there every day at around this time. The code read, COR...P..SE," and the license plate number.<ref>[[Episode 722]]</ref>

He then placed the note in Taii's collar, who managed to escape. However, when Azusa was about to hand the note to Amuro, it blew away in the wind, only for Bourbon to find out the spelling from Azusa, and pieced together instantly, "Corpse." After Azusa stated that Conan knows the cat comes here every day, he took the rest of the day off work to track the note using his Wind App, taking into account the location of the building.

Conan then remembered the cake that Agasa ordered for a delivery at a special time, located it, and wrote a message to redirect the cake to the Kudo Residence, where Subaru is living, and redirected it, "In the care of Mr. Kudo," and even added a message in the customer's copy of the receipt so that Subaru would know that they are trapped in the delivery van.

Subaru sent a package, which was a cell phone to help the kids. However, they were found out by the culprits. Fortunately, Amuro came in time and disabling the culprits. Conan was able to use that phone to call the police.

=== Literature ===
Conan recognizes a phrase ("Kill me tomorrow--but let me live tonight.") from Shakespeare's Othello, which helps him realize that the victim was rehearsing a play, not having an argument with someone.<ref>[[Episode 975]]</ref>

===Mystery Magnet===
No matter where Conan goes, he can't go anywhere without stumbling upon a murder or some other crime. Lampshaded after a while by whichever of the police officers happens to be on duty in that area and some of the characters:
:* Megure in particular begins to wonder if Kogoro is the Angel of Death, later on, more accurately shifting his joking suspicions towards Conan himself as seen in Episode 549.
:* During The Final Screening Murder Case (manga chapter 222/anime episode 138) where the Detective Boys are watching movies in a theatre and Ai tells Conan he should relax and enjoy a "child's vacation." When someone is killed at the back of the theatre, Ai remarks, "It seems you never have time for a vacation."
:* In episode 141, Heiji says about Conan, "Every time I see that guy a case occurs," ... about thirty seconds before a scream is heard and a body discovered.
:* In file 1088 Heiji said that the level of his Grim Reaper that gets him involved in cases is not high as Conan’s.
:* And during The Mystery in the Netcase (File 311-313/episodes 246-247) where the Detective Boys and Ran and Sonoko independently wind up at the same beach, Sonoko says of Conan, "The reason we didn't bring him was that there are always cases when he's around!"
:** Later in the same episode, Haibara learns where Conan and the others are after they're late returning to their hotel (having discovered a murder while she was not present) by asking the hotel staff if there is a murder being investigated nearby.
:*[[Misao Yamamura]] said Conan needed to be exorcised because Conan keeps getting caught up into cases in the Mountain Witch Case.
:* At the beginning of the first file of the paper aeroplane case, Conan notices how he seems to be running into cases all the time. This is the first time he's ever noticed, and this is over 600 chapters into the manga.
:* Except that in the very first chapter of the whole manga, he tells Ran that murders "happen all the time", which implies that encountering a lot of murders is normal to him. The rate of cases must have ramped up even further for him to notice that something is odd.
:* In [[Episode 748]] Sato has said Conan is every bit of the Angel of Death like Mouri is and she keeps finding him at murder scenes.
:* In Zero Tea Time File 52 Amuro thought about Conan when he thought that something bad happens wherever you go like the Grim Reaper when Sakurako Yonehara talked about the grim reaper when she said she feels like she cursed because there are cases and police investigations happen at the places she works as a housekeeper.

== Appellations ==
Although most people will call Conan by his name suffixed with ''-kun'', or simply ''kid'', a lot of the characters have different ways of calling him due to the special relationships they share.

== Plot overview ==
=== Initial pursuit ===
After Shinichi becomes Conan, he sets out to find the men in black almost immediately. At the suggestion of Agasa, he moves in with Ran and Kogoro, hoping that cases related to them come by. Pretty soon, a case involving a woman named [[Akemi Miyano]] (using the alias Masami Hirota) appears. Akemi robs a bank for the men in black in the hopes that they will free her sister from their organization. Conan is unable to realize the case's connection to the organization until after the men in black have shot Akemi and left her for dead rather than give up such a valuable asset as her sister. In her dying moments, Akemi warns Conan of the danger of the organization.<ref>[[Volume 2#File 013 - The Missing Man|Volume 2, Files 13-16: "The Missing Man"]]</ref>

Conan runs across the men in black again on a bullet train, this time learning their codenames: [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].

At a game convention, Conan meets a third man in black named [[Tequila]], only to have him die in an explosion meant for someone else. Conan learns about a meeting place from the murderer, but just before he reaches the bar an explosion set by the men in black destroys the place entirely, leaving Conan without any leads.

=== Introduction of Ai Haibara ===
Later on, Conan meets child-size biochemist [[Ai Haibara]], the creator of [[APTX 4869]]. Ai grew up within the Black Organization as [[Shiho Miyano]] and is a former member of it along with her deceased sister, Akemi.<ref name="f178">[[Volume_18#File 178 - Code Name Sherry|Volume 18, File 178: "Code Name Sherry"]]</ref> After Akemi died, Shiho refused to keep working and took APTX 4869 to die before the Black Organization could execute her. Instead, she shrinks like Conan did and is adopted by Agasa so she and Conan can work together to find a cure and catch the men in black.

However, when she introduced herself to him at night in front of the Kudo and Agasa's house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the Black Organization, even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ...

After the professor's case, he saw her real tears, when she was crying in his shirt, and since then their relationship has improved dramatically, and they even protect each other.

She is also helping him to be more cautious than his initial, "The Black Organization is involved. I am scared, but I will hunt them down, and try and get the antidote," without thinking of the consequences.

He is still determined to take down that organization, but he is now wiser than he was at in, whereas, she is more inclined to err on the side of caution, "Stop. Don't Go. Stay out of this," which will not take the organization down but may keep them safer.

In regards to the Black Organization, they both tend to withhold information to protect the other one.
It is difficult to know just how much she knows of the Organization's leaders and such, but she feels if she tells him anything until it comes up, he may carelessly act on it.

When Conan found out that the '7 Children' song's first lines' tone was the Boss's e-mail address, his initial thought was to have Takagi investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.
The e-mail address is Pandora's box that should never be opened.

In return, Conan protects her a lot in regards to the organization: saving her life, withholding risky information, and coming up with plans to save her life, when she has been found out and trying to hide her from them.

=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] Conan and Haibara cross paths with them at a hotel party while trying to prevent someone from dying at the hands of the organization. While there, Haibara is kidnapped by one of the members of the organization, [[Pisco]]. Conan manages to save Haibara and also learn about [[Anokata]]

=== After Vermouth ===

=== The Phone Number of 'That Person' ===
After Conan solves a [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius#Postlude|case]] of serial murders, the [[Kyosuke Haga#Friends and acquaintances|culprit]] tells Conan that the tune created by dialing the phone number for the Leader of the Black Organization is the song "[[Seven Children]]".

=== Returning Back to Shinichi ===
Throughout the series, Conan has returned to Shinichi several times, but never permanently.
==== East versus West Detective ====
First, he temporarily returns to normal after drinking alcohol while infected with a cold.<ref>[[Diplomat Murder Case|Episodes 48-49: Diplomat Murder Case]].</ref>
He quickly turns back into Conan after solving the case and develops an immunity to the alcohol.

==== Desperate revival ====
{{Main|Prototype antidote}}
Haibara invented an [[Prototype antidote|antidote]] prototype for the APTX 4869, and Conan first uses it in [[Volume 26]] to conceal his identity and allay Ran's suspicions that he is Shinichi. Haibara disguises herself as Conan and appears in front of Ran with Shinichi to put Ran's fears to rest.<ref>[[The Desperate Revival|Episodes 191-193: The Desperate Revival]].</ref><ref>[[Volume 26#File 256 - Concealed Truth|Volume 26, Files 256-258: "Concealed Truth"]]</ref>

==== Shiragami case ====
The antidote prototype is again taken, this time accidentally in place of cough syrup. It wears off 24 hours later, with Haibara giving him another one to protect his identity. This time it wears off in a shortened 4 hours, once again interrupting his chance to confess his feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 647 - The Lost Memory|Volumes 62-63, Files 647-654: "The Lost Memory"]]</ref>

==== London Arc ====
During the Holmes' Revelation arc in London, Conan takes an antidote so he can go overseas, because "Conan Edogawa" does not exist in real life, and has no passport. Ran quickly deduces that Shinichi is in London as well. She asks some Londoners about a Japanese boy, and they give her directions, without specifying it was a six-year-old they saw. In a phone booth, Conan takes the pill originally meant for his return trip to Tokyo to conceal his identity from Ran. During this time, he manages to confess his feelings to her. Luckily for Conan, Haibara asks Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo, his parents, to go to London and give him a third pill, as she guessed he would have used his spare one for Ran.<ref>[[Holmes' Revelation|Episode 616-621]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 71#Following Holmes|Volume 71, Files 743-751]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 72#Following Holmes|Volume 72, File 752]]</ref>

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Conan.jpg|thumb|200px|Ran holding Conan.]]
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
Although they are romantic interests as Shinichi and Ran, Conan and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share a brother/sister kind of relationship. Ran plays a nurturing protective role and treats Conan like a child version of Shinichi. They do a lot of activities together, such as swimming, going to the movies or festivals, and more. Ran and Conan both look out for each other's well-being. Ran stands up for Conan during Kogoro's outbursts and destroys any criminals seeking to inflict harm on Conan with her karate. Conan lends an ear and advice when Ran is in a difficult situation or needs to vent, and he comforts and encourages her when she is feeling down, especially about Shinichi being away for so long. It is even likely that Ran subconsciously knows that Conan actually ''is'' Shinichi, even though she seems reluctant to follow that notion.<ref>Ran told Conan that if only he is Shinichi on Episode 308.</ref>
{{clearright}}

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and Conan most often see each other as nuisances. Conan dislikes Kogoro's usually poor detective ability and case handling, slovenly personal habits, and overinflated ego. Kogoro's deduction doesn't seem to improve so Conan almost always needs to knock Kogoro out when he starts spouting off incorrect theories. Although in most cases Conan merely sees Kogoro as a drunk idiot, he often is impressed when Kogoro gets serious and gets the case right, so he will allow the "non-sleeping Kogoro" to take the spotlight. Kogoro views Conan as a freeloader who constantly gets underfoot and never fails to insinuate himself at cases, "interfere" with the scene, and pipe up with childish observations that consistently ruin Kogoro's deductions. Sometimes, Kogoro will also grab Conan by the jacket, leave him outside, or knock him on the head if he is too nosy when involved in a case. However, their relationship is intimate and Kogoro takes care of Conan just like a member of the house. At times when Conan is in danger or his life is in peril, Kogoro is seen to be visibly distressed, focused only on getting Conan back. In one episode where Conan was kidnapped, put into a car, and the car was in the process of being crushed, Kogoro was even in tears at Conan's apparent death but then rejoiced tearfully when he was shown to be unharmed.
Conan in return does everything in his power to protect Kogoro from getting into trouble with the Black Organization, saving his life multiple times whenever Kogoro unknowingly gets involved with them.
They are usually seen going to cases together (probably because Conan sneaks along with Kogoro, inserts himself into the case, or simply annoys Kogoro enough to bring him) and sometimes they'll follow Ran whenever they think she might be off to see a boy or "that detective brat" as Kogoro refers to Shinichi.
{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
[[File:783-2.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko nearly calls Conan "Shinichi" in public.]]
Conan's parents, [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], like to push their child towards becoming an even better detective. They enjoy giving him challenges, typically without letting Conan know who's giving them; once they disguised as Black Organization operatives trying to kill Shinichi Kudo to show Conan how dangerous his goals are. However, after seeing that their son is determined to dive into the matter, they decide to follow his wish and even helps him out with disguises and plans.

Yukiko loves to meddle in Conan's (and Shinichi's) love life, as she will often make allusions regarding Ran being her possible future daughter-in-law and Ai or Ayumi having feelings for Conan. He doesn't usually pay much attention to them. Once she told Conan that Ai has romantic feelings for him because she looked at him ten times in a short period, saying that the only time a girl would do that is if she likes the boy or the boy has something on his face. Conan simply pushes it off as Ai checking on her "lab mouse," but at night, in bed, Conan asks Ai if he has something on his face.

Yukiko helped him out once to keep his secret identity from being exposed to Ran by creating an alibi for him. Yukiko once nearly called Conan "Shinichi" in public but Conan was able to cover it by creating a distraction.
{{clearright}}

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[image:Agasa and Conan investigating.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan investigates with Agasa.]]
Conan treats [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] as a member of his own family, as an uncle. Because they both share the secret behind Shinichi's transformation and knowledge about the Black Organization, Conan often comes to him when in trouble or seeking help. Agasa's willingness to help whenever possible makes Shinichi's life as Conan more convenient. He was the one who created most of Conan's gadgets, including his power shoes and tracking glasses. He willingly plays Conan's case-solving mouthpiece when Conan lacks someone else convenient to use. When Conan needs something, such as information regarding past cases, he usually asks Agasa to get it. Agasa often acts as a chauffeur because he is trustworthy and the only adult with a car regularly available.

Agasa often worries about Shinichi, especially when he thinks Shinichi might be getting over his head. Agasa almost always responds positively to Shinichi's requests but doesn't like it when Shinichi hides the reasons for it, especially if it is dangerous.
{{clearright}}

==== "Shinichi Kudo" ====
[[File:EP398 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Shinichi.]]
They never meet each other for obvious reasons: Conan is Shinichi's secret identity. However, since Conan tries to act like a child, he often thinks of Shinichi as a separate character (in one episode, when Ran claims to go on a date with Shinichi, Conan bids goodbye, oblivious for a while that he is Shinichi). Judging from his completely made-up speech, Conan talks to Shinichi frequently by phone and learns a lot of skills and knowledge from him, and Conan admires and loves Shinichi. In turn, Shinichi is willing to satiate Conan's curiosity, but at one point he gets annoyed for Conan's inquisitiveness.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo beats Heiji in their first case. However, after discovering Conan's real identity, Heiji starts to act like an older brother towards him, much to the annoyance of Conan. Since then, the two have become closest friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They tend to stick together on cases, although sometimes this is because Heiji forces the less enthusiastic Conan to come along. While fond of Heiji as a fellow detective he can relate to, Conan finds Heiji's antics occasionally annoying. Much to Conan's chagrin, Heiji even convinces others that Conan is his disciple. Conan especially dislikes Heiji's dangerous habit of unthinkingly calling Conan 'Kudo' when others are present.

Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better, and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" (Osaka) is better than the "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives. Despite his teasing, Conan/Shinichi genuinely thinks Kazuha and Heiji would make a great couple.
{{clearright}}

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
She frequently talks to him like a brat and primary school kid, and he thinks of her as annoying.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Masumi Sera is like an older sister figure to Conan. She knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. She is a mystery but is revealed to be the sister of Shuichi Akai and Shukichi Haneda. Conan takes Sera to be like a fellow detective, similar to how he treats Heiji and Saguru. Sera in return is very protective of him and also seems to have a crush on him, calling him a "wizard"; because when they first met 10 years ago, Shinichi/Conan was able to make her brother Shuichi laugh when she couldn't.

==== Eisuke Hondou ====
Eisuke discovered that Conan is the real Sleeping Kogoro before they even first met. Conan found him suspicious due to his resemblance to Rena Mizunashi. Eisuke was quick to notice that Conan's behavior towards Ran was similar to that of a protective boyfriend and decided to monitor him. Eventually, Conan found that he is the younger brother of Rena who is a member of the CIA infiltrating the organization, the relationship between the two seems to have improved somehow after Conan reveals his identity to Eisuke without hesitating to refuse his offer to take Ran with him in America. At that moment, Eisuke amicably confesses to Conan that he was aware from the beginning that he was sleeping Kogoro and Shinichi Kudo. He asked Conan to take care of Ran and the two leave on good terms.

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
Shukichi seems to have noticed Conan's intelligence and trusted his deductions the first time they met. Shinichi has met Shukichi in the past as a child, so Shukichi might recognize him as Conan because of his memorization skills, and also due to Shukichi calling Conan a Wizard, the same nickname that Masumi attributed to Shinichi when they met 10 years ago.

=== Detective Boys ===
[[File:Conan and Ai.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan and Haibara investigating.]]
[[File:conan scary face.png|thumb|left|200px|Conan's scary face when he's intending to know Haibara's secret song.]]
==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}
Both are de-aged by APTX4869 and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes [[Ai Haibara]] and Conan close confidants and more empathetic with each other than most other characters. They share an interesting relationship. They believe and rely on each other. She certainly has no qualms about teasing him and is more than willing to poke a hole in his ego. While Conan initially was disgusted by Ai's ties to the Black Organization, especially with how she introduced herself, seeing her remorse and pain has improved his opinion of her. He is repeatedly protective of her and tries to give her hope when her fear of the men in black is overwhelming.

However, when she introduced herself to him at night in front of the [[Kudo]] and [[Agasa|Agasa's]] house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the [[Black Organization]], even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ...

After the professor's case, he saw her real tears, when she was crying in his shirt, and since then their relationship has improved dramatically, and they even protect each other.

She is also helping him to be more cautious than his initial, "The Black Organization is involved. I am scared, but I will hunt them down, and try and get the antidote," without thinking of the consequences.

He is still determined to take down that organization, but he is now wiser than he was at in, whereas, she is more inclined to err on the side of caution, "Stop. Don't Go. Stay out of this," which will not take the organization down but may keep them safer.

In regards to the Black Organization, they both tend to withhold information to protect the other one.
It is difficult to know just how much she knows of the Organization's leaders and such, but she feels if she tells him anything until it comes up, he may carelessly act on it.

When Conan found out that [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children]] was the [[Boss]]'s e-mail address, his initial thought was to have [[Takagi]] investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.
The e-mail address is Pandora's box that should never be opened.

In return, Conan protects her a lot in regards to the organization: saving her life, withholding risky information, and coming up with plans to save her life, when she has been found out and trying to hide her from them.

==== Ayumi Yoshida ====
[[File:759-3.png|thumb|200px|Sonoko is teasing Conan about Ayumi.]]
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ayumi Yoshida}}
Conan grows to respect the little girl in his class for her sharp wit and observational skills, along with the other members of the [[Detective Boys]]. [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] in turn has a very open crush for Conan as seen in instances when she gave him kisses on his cheek. However, she seems to not be aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of Conan because of this. Sonoko once mentioned that she thought Conan likes Ayumi to which shocked Conan and made him internally admit his love for Ran.

==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima ====
[[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] sees Conan as a role model, someone he looks up to. [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and more so Mitsuhiko, are often impressed by Conan's vast knowledge and incredible deduction skills. However, they both become quite jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi shows gestures of affection towards him (usually a small kiss on the cheek). While Conan initially only tolerated their presence, he has grown fond of them despite their relative immaturity.
In a case, where Genta's father was a suspect, Conan decided to solve the case without telling the other, because he didn't want Genta to worry about his father being a suspect for murder.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Police ====
[[File:Megure and Conan Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megure waffles between treating Conan like a child and a detective]]
Except for a few inspectors, most listen to the little clues that Conan points out. After a while, Conan gets the attention of the whole Tokyo police department for noticing things even pros miss. [[Wataru Takagi]] in particular has taken to trusting Conan completely and doing whatever Conan asks him to without hesitation. Even [[Sato]] also treats him more like a detective.

Even when Takagi is hesitant to do what Conan asks of him, as soon as Sato hears Conan's name, she immediately will take action or give him information sometimes.

After [[Hyoue Kuroda]] became the superintendent of the Tokyo Prefecture, he has told Takagi and [[Megure]] to do what Conan asks of them in the [[The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case|Actress Blogger Case]].

He even periodically refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" in front of the other police officers, such as Nagano Police Prefecture Officers, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and Inspector [[Yuminaga]], as well as Bourbon, who he instructed to answer all of Conan's questions when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case of [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]].

==== Wataru Takagi ====
Wataru Takagi is the only police officer who has come the closest to finding out about [[Conan]]'s identity.

In [[The Man from Chicago]], When Conan is telling the police officers present about the Panda colors of the Police Cars, and that the younger generation may not know this information about their black and white cars, Takagi asks himself, "What generation is this kid from?"

In [[The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages]], while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime. Takagi asked Conan about his real identity to which Conan answered that he would in the afterlife.

He also is aware of Conan's sharp intelligence and takes him seriously to take him for questioning the suspects. He trusts Conan so much that he would take him seriously.

Takagi has also come to acknowledge Conan's sharp mind and intellect, taking Conan's observations seriously and even allowing him to accompany him to question suspects, most notably during the New Scar and the Whistling Man Case where he has the rest of the Detective Boys remain in the car.

Conan also fully supports Takagi's relationship with Sato, at one point orchestrated a plan to foil [[Shiratori]]'s attempt at an arranged marriage with [[Sato]]. When asked for reasons, he didn't answer but quietly relate the experience with Ran's relationship.

==== Miwako Sato ====
[[File:EP424 5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Miwako and Conan during a case Investigation]]

She had developed a deep trust in Conan and his intelligence from her real first time investigating with him, and seeing him in action in the case of [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]].

Even when Takagi is hesitant to do as Conan says, unquestioningly, she will immediately and unhesitantly do as he says, almost all of the time, since she first met him.

==== Kansuke Yamato ====
Kansuke is one of the few police officers, who Conan can talk like an adult in front of.

In [[A Dangerous Party of Two]], he even told [[Yui Uehara|Yui]] Uehara that he suspects Conan of being "the one leading everything," in regards to [[Kogoro|Kogoro's]] cases, and that is after only after they met up in one case so far.

In fact, in that car ride, they were giving [[Agasa]] and [[Haibara]] a lift back to Tokyo, but he kept taking in a Nagano dialect, using phrases that terrified Haibara, such as "Half-Kill" and "Over-Kill, which dealt with a kind of Mochi, and not what Agasa and Haibara were thinking of."

The reason why he and Yui were heading to Tokyo was to enlist Kogoro's help with the Red Wall Case, which Yui told Conan that it was his help they were wanting.

==== Hyoue Kuroda ====
[[Kuroda]] is aware of how good Conan is as a detective, calling him " Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", he also trusts his deductions and has already ordered the Tokyo police to follow Conan's Instructions.

On the other hand, Conan is suspicious of Kuroda because he almost matches [[Rum]]'s description, he also became shocked that Kuroda became the Superintendent of Tokyo Police in [[Matsumoto]]'s place.

In [[Kawanakajima Murder Case]], which was his first appearance, he already knew that Conan was 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro,' and stated an entire dialogue stating his knowledge of Edogawa Conan in front of the Nagano Police Officers present, in his first speech to Conan.

In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent|Mystery of the Burning Tent]], He refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and [[Inspector Yuminaga]].

In [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]], he also instructed Amuro to answer all of Conan's questions, when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case as well.

==== Rei Furuya ====
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] (Aliases as Tooru Amuro) has attached himself to the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] as [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person has shown up" when he learns Rei will be joining Kogoro on cases. However, after he finds out [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Amuro's membership in the Black Organization]], though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. This was made even worse when Rei caught him attempting to tranquilize Kogoro, but due to Rei's attentiveness, he was unable to and had to give hints to Kogoro instead. Although Amuro may not have seen the trick, he became convinced that Conan was the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro, and began investigating Conan, which only made Conan more nervous of him. Their relationship later seemed to improve in [[The Scarlet Return]] when Conan learns that Rei is an undercover operative from the Japanese Secret Police when the two exchange smiles in Café Poirot. Conan even used his Voice Changing Bow Tie in front of Rei in [[The Heartfelt Strap]].

When Shinichi Kudo is exposed on the media due to [[The Scarlet School Trip|Kyoto Field Trip]], he receives an email from [[Rum]], ordering him to gather information about Shinichi. After he helped to solve the [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case|Bunny Girls Case]], Amuro broke into the Kudo home, so that he can find out information about [[Kudo Shinichi]]. He had the altercation with an [[Akai Shuichi|unmasked Akai]], and both of [[Yusaku Kudo|Shinichi's]] [[Yukiko Kudo|parents]] turned on the light, so that the four of them can have a meeting. Currently, it is unknown what was discussed in that meeting, other than Conan planned it.

It seemed to become strained again in the movie: [[Zero the Enforcer]], however that is due to Amuro had his subordinate, [[Yuya Kazami]] of the [[Public Security Bureau|Japanese Secret Police- Public Security Bureau]], plant phony incriminating evidence against Kogoro Mouri for a bombing incident. However, it turns out that the framing was to use Conan as a Collaborator and to rely on his strength so that Conan can do what he was unable to do for his investigation. This way, he was able to use Conan as a Collaborator and to rely on his strength.

=== FBI ===
The FBI contains most of the few people that Conan acts normally around despite them not knowing his identity. Conan seems to place trust in the FBI and occasionally helps in their operations.

==== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ====
[[File:The Scarlet Return-Shuichi and Conan.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Shuichi and Conan ([[The Scarlet Return|Ep. 782]])]]
[[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] has been shown to respect Conan's detective skills. Together they hatched a plan to send Hidemi Hondou back into the organization and fake Akai's death. He has discovered that Conan and Shinichi are the same by spying on him in a [[Volume 77#File 814 - Conan-kun, Right?|recent plot line]]. Conan once says to Shuichi, "I'm glad you're an ally."

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] nicknamed Conan "Cool Kid" and Conan (despite being wary when he first met her) now places complete trust in Jodie. Jodie has also called Conan to share what would normally be classified information, notifying him of a new Black Organization member, Bourbon.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin and Vodka ====
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's interfering with their operations, Gin is curious who "that guy" is, referring to Conan. In the movie [[The Raven Chaser]], Gin tries to catch a glimpse of Conan's face from a helicopter but fails when Conan successfully downs the helicopter. Conan seems to have a very bitter hatred towards them, and this only increases as more people are targeted by the Black Organization.

In [[Reunion with the Black Organization|Reunion of the Black Organization]], Gin had to shoot himself in the arm to stay awake, after he was shot with Conan's tranquilizer dart.
He also found Conan's bug and transmitter in his car, however, due to a strand of [[Haibara Ai|Haibara]]'s hair, he is convinced it was [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], who planted them.

In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], Gin told Vodka "You have to be always on guard. It seems Someone is investigating about us, a Detective clever as a Fox," without being aware that it happens to be a 7-year-old little child.

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]], he found Conan's bug and transmitter on [[Kir]]'s shoe and immediately planned to exterminate [[Kogoro Mouri]], who he was convinced left the bug. When Conan kicked a soccer ball into the Detective Agency window, Gin decided to add another victim, the little kid. Thankfully, [[Akai]] made him think the bug and transmitter were planted by the FBI, which saved them both.

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] seems to have a great personal interest in Conan, referring to him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet' and her "Cool Guy."

She also protects Conan, probably because when she was disguising as a serial killer in New York she was saved by Conan (Shinichi at the time) and Ran.

When the Organization plans on killing Kogoro, and later Conan, she strongly objects to a degree where Gin suspects whether Kogoro is related to Vermouth.

Because of this, Conan does not react strongly when she is mentioned, as opposed to Haibara. He also seems to consider her less of a threat than the other members because he can bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to Head]], After Conan removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wristwatch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.

She also destroyed the box that he was connected to by many wires, so as not to possibly accidentally kill or hurt him, which pulling out the wires would have, according to Conan.

After she used sleeping gas, to knock him back out, so that she can escape, and not lead the Black Organization members to him.

She even covered the sleeping boy up with her coat, so that he would not get sick, since she had cut his shirt wide open, to see the wires and connected box, which may have made him sick, if he is not found right away, since it is pretty cold, and colds are spreading at this time.

She shot herself in the leg and had to hobble some distance away from the car, so that he would remain out of sight, and nowhere around her when Gin came to pick her up.

In [[The Raven Chaser]], she even provided Conan with the name of [[Irish]] and gave him a little bit of information on why the Organization is interested in this serial murder case.

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to Gin, she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," to protect Conan.

=== Others ===
==== Kaitou Kid ====
{{Main|Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba}}
Before being shrunk, Shinichi encountered [[Kaitou Kid]] once during the Clock Tower heist, though they did not meet face-to-face. In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi has become Conan, Kid disguises himself as Ran to steal the Suzuki family's Black Star pearl. When Conan corners him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid implies that he stole all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ends up being a bluff, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid in subsequent encounters. Conan stops Kid from escaping with the jewel often enough that Conan has gained a reputation with the press as Kid's "natural enemy". In several instances Conan appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence, and seems excited by the chance to catch Kid again; appropriately, Kid seems to find Conan dangerous enough to warrant specific measures to keep him distracted.

[[File:704 20.png|thumb|200px|Kaitou Kid disguised as [[Shiho]] as requested from Conan]]

Conan does not buy into Kid's reputation as a mysterious, uncatchable phantom, saying once "He's only a thief that uses magic",<ref>Anime Episode 515: Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic</ref> and encouraging police officers that Kid is only a man and he can be arrested. However, if necessary, the two can put their rivalry aside for a little while and work together.<ref>[[Kaitou Kid and the Four Masterpieces]]</ref> Conan has something of a gentleman's agreement with Kaitou Kid, in that he doesn't try to find or catch the thief outside of heists. In several instances, when Kid does Conan a favor, such as saving Genta's life,<ref>[[Big Adventure in the Eccentric Mansion]]</ref> Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape mostly unhindered. This exchange of favors can sometimes become a bit unbalanced; in exchange for not giving Kid away on a train Conan has Kid face down the [[Black Organization]] in disguise, and because Kid narrowly escapes an explosion with his life, he says that Conan now owes ''him'' one.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"</ref>

In the non-[[canon]] movies, it is implied that Kid knows Conan's identity; he even helps Conan maintain his cover by disguising himself as Shinichi so that a suspicious Ran would stop suspecting Conan.

==== [[Mary Sera]] ====
Conan has been trying to discover the truth about [[Mary]] since the day he first saw her in a picture with Masumi Sera. In "The detective boys in the grove" case, he noticed Ai's uncanny resemblance to Mary. Then, he finds out that the mysterious girl is the mother of Masumi Sera, Shukichi Haneda, and Shuichi Akai, and the wife of Tsutomu Akai, now somehow shrunken. On the other hand, Mary remains skeptical of Conan telling her daughter to be aware of him as he isn't the same boy they met 10 years ago.

==== [[Kanenori Wakita]] ====
In his [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|introductory case]], Conan noticed that he had a medical patch on his left eye, although Wakita claims it is only temporary. He chose not to see the messy left eye, along with Kogoro and Ran.

In the [[Search for Maria-chan!]], while Conan is hiding at Agasa's due to the uproar or his appearance as Kudo Shinichi on a case, during his Kyoto Field Trip, he noticed that Wakita knocked on Agasa's door, and asked about all of the press stationed next door outside of the Kudo gate, while he claimed to be making a delivery to someone in the neighborhood.

(He could have just asked the person that his delivery was for, but no. Let's ask the Kudos' [[Agasa Hiroshi|next door neighbor]]. Plus it is highly unlikely that [[Subaru]], the supposedly DEAD FBI agent, [[Akai]], who is residing in the [[Kudo Shinichi|Kudo]] house, which is the house to the supposedly dead teenage detective, would ever order for Delivery. Take-out, maybe, but not Delivery.)

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity. None of them have ever betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], [[Yusaku Kudo]], [[Yukiko Kudo]], [[Heiji Hattori]], and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] of the Black Organization also knows about Conan's secret. Later, in Episode 508 of the anime, [[Eisuke Hondou]] confirms Conan's identity as [[Shinichi Kudo]] straight from him. In manga chapters 812-814, [[Subaru Okiya]] ([[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise,) confirms that Conan is Shinichi. [[Masumi Sera]] also knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo before they even first met. It is also hinted that [[Mary]] knows about Conan's true identity, telling her daughter Masumi to be wary of him.

In the 13th movie, the Black Organization member [[Irish]] discovers that Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

The 3rd, 8th, 14th, 19th, and 23rd movies also demonstrate that [[Kaitou Kid]] knows Conan's identity and acts to protect it. Though it was once unconfirmed if he knew in the manga, it was recently confirmed in the Fairy Lips case, where Kid thinks that there are "two high school detectives" on the scene, referring to Heiji, and Conan, the only other high school detective there. It is unknown how he came to figure this out.

== People who know that Conan is behind the "Sleeping Kogoro" ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro}}
There is even a varied list of those who know that Conan is the puppeteer behind the "Sleeping Kogoro."

== Gadgets ==
{{main|Gadgets}}
Professor Agasa has made many gadgets for Conan, including a tranquilizer wristwatch, voice-modulating bow tie, kick-enhancing shoes, tracking/binocular glasses, stretchable suspenders, and a solar-powered skateboard. Conan uses the first two regularly to create "Sleeping Kogoro", and the glasses and other gadgets to investigate cases or catch criminals. Agasa also created radio badges and watch flashlights Conan and the other Detective Boys.

== Name origin ==
Gosho Aoyama (and Shinichi, in the story) got the name 'Conan Edogawa' from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the famous Sherlock Holmes stories, and Edogawa Rampo, the pen name of Japanese mystery fiction writer Hirai Tarō. Hirai Tarō himself got the pen name "Edogawa Rampo" from a transliteration of "Edgar Allan Poe." Pronouncing Poe's name in a Japanese accent sounds like 'Edogawa Rampo.'

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho said Conan's hairstyle was designed in about one minute. He smoothed [[Yaiba]]'s hair and added a tuft modeled after the apostrophe hairstyle of Kabu from [[Wikipedia:Sally_the_Witch|Sally the Witch]]. The tuft on the hair on the top of Conan's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia:Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Conan's clothes were modeled after [[Wikipedia:Shichi-Go-San|Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) clothing]]. Young Gosho wore a bow tie and shorts in his Shichi-Go-San photographs. Gosho tries to restrict Conan's gadgets to what Conan can wear, but he has run out of ideas lately. The use of glasses as a disguise was modeled after [[Wikipedia:Superman|Superman]]'s Clark Kent. Conan's speech habits were meant to be slightly rough like Joe from [[Wikipedia:Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]] and [[Wikipedia:Touch (manga)|Touch]].<ref>File 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet</ref>

== Trivia ==
[[Image: EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]
* Conan's bad singing came to light as a joke after the anime began airing because Conan's voice actress [[Minami Takayama]] is a well-known singer. In [[Volume 15]] of the manga, Takayama herself is kidnapped and Conan, who sounds similar to her, tries to take her place at a concert. However, despite having similar voices, they sound completely different when it comes to singing.<ref>[[Volume 15|Volume 15, Files 144-146: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref>
* He owns two cellphones, the one he uses as Conan and one that he uses as Shinichi. He is also shown using different kinds of cellphones throughout the series.
* Conan often uses the expression "Ah-le-le?" when he is trying to point out a clue, something that is usually said by Japanese grade-schoolers. The expression was even [[The Sullied Masked Hero|said by Kogoro]] out of irritation at Conan (right before Conan tranquillized him). Conan's habit of acting juvenile to disguise his real abilities also [[Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun|draws the ire]] of the Detective Boys.
* Conan/Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share the same blood type as mentioned in episode 189.
* In [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Akako's Delivery Service|Akako's Delivery Service]], [[Saguru Hakuba]] acquires a strand of [[Kaitou Kid]]'s hair and runs a genetic scan on it, determining that Kid is a fifteen-to-seventeen-year-old male with a higher-than-average IQ. He then runs this information against a database of Tokyo teenagers and comes up with a list of possible Kaitou Kids, at the top of which was [[Kaito Kuroba]]'s name. However, it's interesting to wonder whether Shinichi, another sixteen-year-old Tokyo resident with a similar build and above-average intelligence, made Saguru's list, but the search included only teenagers with blood type B, and it has never actually been stated what Shinichi's is (although [[Kogoro Mouri]] mentions that Conan's blood type is rare<ref>Episode 189</ref>). Type B is not a common blood type,<ref>See population breakdown by country here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group_system#ABO_and_Rh_distribution_by_country</ref> so it is possible that this is Shinichi's type.
* Conan/Shinichi's favourite drink is iced coffee as shown in episode 814, 919, etc. Shinichi's favourite drink is shown in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]] when Daisuke says that he isn't the only one who drinks iced coffee throughout the year. The lemon pie does not count as Shinichi's favourite during [[The Memories of First Love Case]] because the woman Asami Uchida, whose first love was Shinichi, told this to Ran and her speciality in the past was baking that same lemon pie that she finally perfected so Shinichi will tell her that the pie was delicious. Unless Gosho Aoyama said otherwise, the lemon pie may not be Shinichi's favourite and it was only brought up during that case alone.
* Whenever dealing with a particularly difficult case, Shinichi/Conan juggles a soccer ball to think better. In scenes where he doesn't have one, he often holds his chin with his thumb and forefinger.
* Conan/Shinichi doesn't know that ironically, due to all his secret-keeping from Ran, he's potentially locked himself out of learning about Ran's encounter(s) with the Black Organization, because she has no reason to tell 'Conan' about them. Shinichi/Conan has no idea that Ran has encountered Vermouth and saved Haibara from her, even 500+ chapters after it occurred. The fact that Haibara herself is invested in keeping Ran out of anything to do with the Black Organization only adds to this, as she deliberately lied to Conan/Shinichi about who saved her that night. Ran not knowing Conan's identity also prevents them from confiding in each other or pooling together the information they might have in other areas and thus can extend the time it takes for important realizations to come to light.
* In file 1045, it is revealed that Conan and Yumi have each other's phone numbers.
* In file 900, it is revealed that Conan and Miwako Sato have each other's phone numbers.
* According to Gosho in Super Digest Book 90+ that from time to time, Conan wears a jumper with a "K" written on which stands for "Karl Helmutt", a Japanese clothing brand.
* In episode 681, it's revealed Conan has Detective Chiba's phone number.
* According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book he likes curry the most, he and his dad like Yukiko's paella the most.
* According to [[Gosho Aoyama]], Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara are in no way related to each other.<ref>[https://conannews.org/fragerunde-mit-gosho-aoyama-day2023/49323/ ''Fragerunde mit Gosho Aoyama: DAY2023.''] ''ConanNews.org'' (in German). 16 February 2023. Retrieved 16 February 2023.</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Gin|ジン|Jin}}''' is a member of the [[Black Organization]] and a primary antagonist of the series. He is the organization member who gave [[Shinichi Kudo]] the experimental poison [[APTX 4869]] which turned him into [[Conan Edogawa]].<ref name=Eyes>Manga Chapter 1: The Heisei Holmes</ref> He is frequently paired on missions with [[Vodka]]. In the English manga, he was first introduced as Melkior, but later was reverted to Gin. This is likely due to the fact that Conan is often reminded of the Black Organization by references to alcohol.

== Background ==
Gin is a high-ranking "executive agent", often giving the other members their orders and supervising group missions. He works in the "[[Black Organization#Organization structure and divisions|general oversight division]]" along with [[Vodka]] who is his partner. Despite his high ranking leadership position, he often takes to the field to participate in missions, complete business transactions, and assassinate people. When on missions, he is typically the one giving orders, even to agents who are equally ranked, like Vermouth. Gin seems to be able to communicate freely with the [[The Boss|boss]].

Virtually nothing of Gin's history before the present timeline is known. From the FBI's discussion, he was in a high ranking position, perhaps the same one, two years ago, and his appearance has not changed between then and the current timeline.

Two years ago, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]], who was on a infiltration mission, was promoted to the codename Rye. He was called to work under Gin and a meeting for them was set in a warehouse. The FBI staked out the warehouse hoping to capture Gin as it was believed he could lead them to the boss,<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>

When the tracker placed on the new agent [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]] indicated she was in a warehouse where she shouldn't be, Gin and Vodka went to investigate. At the time she was meeting with her father and fellow CIA agent, [[Ethan Hondou]]. Recognizing that if Gin discovered the situation he would know they were spies, Ethan committed suicide to protect Hidemi by making it look like she had confronted him for being a spy and had killed him. Gin believed the ploy.

== Personality ==
Of the high ranking members of the Black Organization shown, Gin is the most loyal: he follows the boss' orders most closely and virtually never acts against the Organization's greater interests. He is also one of the Black Organization's most dangerous operatives; Conan miscalculating his intelligence, abilities, and speed of response have resulted in several very close calls and awry plans.<ref>Volume 24, Files 7-11, Chapters 238-242</ref><ref name=383p>Volume 38, File 1, Chapter 383: "The New Weapon Gadget"</ref><ref>Volumes 48, Files 9-10, Volume 49, Files 1-4, Chapters 599-504</ref>

[[Image:Gin's murderous eyes.png‎|thumb|left|200px|Gin's murderous eyes.]]
Gin is a merciless and efficient assassin. He has no compunctions about killing or threatening fellow teammates. Fitting his icy personality, Gin's displayed range of emotions so far is relatively limited. Wearing a threatening smirk, he enjoys hunting traitors, watching the plans he has concocted succeed, and cornering his targets. Although he seems to take satisfaction with taking out someone personally, Gin is also satisfied with orchestrating a target's death even if he does not pull the trigger himself.<ref>In the Red Shirt's case while Gin was staking out the Beika department store waiting for Scar Akai to appear, he replies to Kir's remark that "Why don't you [Gin]... just enjoy the fact your nemesis is gone?" with "Yeah, I'm so happy... If he is still alive, I get to kill him again." This shows that Gin considers Akai's death as "his kill" even though it was Kir who pulled the trigger at Raiha pass, and if scar Akai is killed, it will be Chianti or Korn who finishes the job. He is apparently satisfied with the orchestrator role and doesn't feel the need to personally kill Akai himself.</ref> He is not easily frustrated and takes setbacks in good stride, shown when he coolly orders a retreat when Shuichi Akai ambushed the Black Organization and when [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] tricks him and wastes his time by disguising as [[Scar Akai]]. He is patient and cautious, preferring to wait until success is most likely.<ref>He orders Chianti and Korn on several occasions to wait before shooting for better opportunities.</ref> He does not like potential loose ends, preferring to get rid of anything doubtful.<ref>In Volume 49, File 4, Chapter 504, Gin orders for Conan to be shot because he acted suspiciously, even though he was a child.</ref> Gin does not trust anyone and does not fully believe anything he doesn't witness himself.<ref>Manga Chapter 702: The Bomber's Aim</ref>
 Certain individuals elicit more of a response than others from Gin. Gin doesn't seem to enjoy Vermouth's antics; he tried to put an icepick through her head after she disguised herself as a waiter to tease him. Gin finds Bourbon<ref name=703p3>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm"</ref>, who has several shared characteristics with Vermouth<ref name=703p3/>, annoying as well. He has a personal rivalry with Shuichi Akai, and takes interest when the FBI agent gets involved. [[Gin#Sherry|For uncertain reasons]], Gin has an abnormal attachment<ref>[[Conan Drill]] page 239, Gin's feelings towards Shiho on a relationship diagram were listed as "異常な執着": "abnormal attachment"</ref> to Shiho Miyano, so he broke from his normal efficiency-oriented hunting strategy in favor of a more dramatic confrontation with her for his personal enjoyment.

Gin is very skilled in his managerial role; he keeps the boss informed on current happenings, yet is also a decisive and quick acting leader in his own regard. Gin often consults the boss about actions that may have potentially serious ramifications, like getting permission to kill Kogoro, who is popular and closely connected to the police, after Gin found a [[Microphone|listening device]] and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracking device]] on Kir's shoe that he believes were planted by the detective. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion. One such action was deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] at [[Tropical Land]] after Gin caught him spying. Gin is more than willing to take matters into his own hands when he feels another member has endangered the Organization.<ref name=Smart>Manga Chapter 383: The New Weapon</ref> He even once pulled a gun on his own partner, Vodka, when he went against orders and rescheduled a meeting with one of their contacts outside of the organization to an earlier time.<ref name=Smart/>
[[File:Maybe he really did know Conan was in there....PNG|thumb|right|200px|Gin opens the locker Conan is hiding in.]]
Gin's effective leadership is shown in how he manages the diverse personalities of his team on missions. If Gin feels any frustration or scorn regarding the behavior or abilities of any of his teammates, he does not show it unless it is actively interfering with his plans or threatening the Organization. However, that doesn't stop him from being contemptuous about others behind their backs.<ref>Gin disliked Pisco, but did not show it while detailing him about his mission. Gin only complains about Bourbon, Vermouth, and Pisco when they are not around (Bourbon, Vermouth) or their opinion does not matter. (Pisco)</ref> The other members' respect for Gin keeps them in line and coerces them into obeying orders. Only Vermouth has actively objected to Gin's plans on a mission. He also respects the desires of his teammates to a certain degree, even though he may distrust them. Despite his personal suspicions, he let Vermouth persuade him to leave Conan and Kogoro alone, and he decided not to kill anyone at the hospital after [[Rena Mizunashi|Kir]] requested it even though he was unsure of her loyalty.

However, Gin has two notorious weaknesses. He has difficulty remembering the faces and names of those he has killed. Vodka's memory makes up for this somewhat, but Gin notices connections later as a result. As soon as Gin becomes suspicious of someone he gets to work looking into them,<ref>Manga Chapter 700: Dangerous Area</ref> but if his suspicions are proven wrong he tends to lose interest completely.<ref>Vodka's report about "Shinichi" appearing on the Ghost Ship.</ref><ref name=Scar/><ref>Movie 13: [[The Raven Chaser]]</ref> His more conventional logic has also meant he has missed important deductions. This was most notable when Gin decided to stop searching lockers because no adult could fit in them, apparently overlooking that one of the lookouts had mentioned a kid entering the station earlier, although this was mentioned to Vodka, and not to him, and Vodka did not notify him of that fact.

In Black Impact, it might also be suggested that he is quick to jump to conclusions, as seen in a previous episode.

He found a strand of [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]]'s hair in his car, and he immediately convinced himself that [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] is the one that planted the bug, which was planted by Conan in his own car, without any other proof, In Black Impact, he is still convinced that the bug is hers, without trying to deduce where she got it from.

In Black Impact, Conan planted a bug and transmitter outside Rena's apartment, to help with a ding dong dash case. She did hire Kogoro to help solve the case. After that case was resolved, Conan completely forgot about the bug and transmitter completely, and just walked off.

He began remembering it, when it began raining. To make matters more interesting, the rain dislodged them from the wall, and it was immediately stepped on by Rena, and stuck to one of her shoes.

Shortly afterwards, Conan heard the 7 children melody, her talk to Gin, Vodka, Vermouth, Chianti, and Korn, and that her code name is Kir, and managed to stop one assassination attempt before Kir got hurt, and was taken to the Haido Central Hospital.

Shortly afterward, Gin found the bug and transmitter that was stuck on Kir's shoe, and was convinced Kogoro planted it, and he immediately changed their target to [[Kogoro Mouri|Detective Kogoro Mouri]].
Nothing could convince him that it was not planted by Mouri at all, not even when Akai sniped the bug and transmitter, and was sniping at the snipers.

It did not change at all, when Conan managed to kick a soccor ball hard into the Detective Agency window, and asked, "Uncle, how is the horse races going?" Even though they found out that Kogoro was merely listening to the horse races, Gin did give the order to kill Kogoro and the [[Conan Edogawa|little kid]], which thankfully, Akai diverted their attention to him instead.

Akai's plan worked, and they thought that the FBI planted the bug and transmitter, but nothing could convince him that Detective Kogoro Mouri was innocent of any meddlling in their affairs.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Gin2 color page V24-7 closeup.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Gin's manga appearance in color.]]
Gin is a tall, thin man of uncertain age. His most noticeable feature is his long silver hair that goes down to his hips. (In the anime, Gin's hair was light-brown at first, then blond, then finally changed to match the manga as can be seen in the 13th movie: [[The Raven Chaser]].) It is cut at the front into bangs which often obscure his eyes, which are blue (like all the other characters) in the manga, and green in the anime. He has, as Shinichi had put it, the eyes of someone who has easily killed many people without a care.<ref name=Eyes/> In the manga, his face is somewhat gaunt, with visible cheekbones and a triangular dark patch below each eye. Later in the series he receives a scar on his left cheek after a bullet from Shuichi Akai's rifle grazes him.<ref name=Scar>Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref>

Gin's look has never changed in all of his appearances. He wears a black fedora with a grey or white hatband. His only shown outfit is a knee length, notched lapel, black trenchcoat with the collar upturned to obscure part of his face and a loose white turtleneck underneath. He likely also wears a ballistic vest beneath these. He wears black trousers and black dress shoes. When trying to avoid leaving fingerprints, he dons a pair of white gloves, black in the anime.

Gin is a heavy smoker. He is also left handed.

== Abilities ==
=== Intelligence and instinct ===
Gin is quite perceptive and intelligent.<ref name=Smart/>. He can smell out traps his partner Vodka easily falls for. Gin is also good at deduction. He correctly infers the FBI plan to move the captured Organization member Kir, and also explains to Vodka the biological principles behind why an old man with severe heart conditions wouldn't go to a cold cabin in the dead of winter. Unlike most intelligent characters in the series, Gin also relies on his good instinct. A few times so far, he correctly suspects there is more to a situation than the evidence alone indicates. He correctly suspects that Kogoro (really Conan) was not completely innocent<ref>Volumes 48, Files 9-10, Volume 49, Files 1-4, Chapters 599-504</ref> and that getting Kir back from the FBI was too easy. At one point while searching for the "clever fox" who set them up, Gin begins opening child size lockers on a whim. He just stops at the one Conan was hiding in and chides himself for doing so because there was no way an adult could hide in those lockers.<ref>Volume 38, File 1, Chapter 383</ref> By the close of the Bourbon arc, he is aware [[Conan Edogawa|someone]] is investigating the organization and that there are likely spies within it, thus a purge is justified.

=== Stamina ===
Gin seems to have undergone serious physical training, giving him incredible stamina and a high pain tolerance, as shown when he remained conscious after being hit by Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|stun-gun wristwatch]] and then shot himself in the arm to regain full consciousness in Episode 178. He then climbed down and back up a chimney despite the shot in the arm.<ref>Manga Chapter 242: A White World</ref> In Episode 425, he was able to flee with internal injuries bad enough to cause him to bleed from the mouth when Akai put two rifle rounds in his ballistic vest.

=== Firearms ===
==== Handguns ====
Gin is skilled with handguns. He prefers a Beretta 92.

=== Sniping ===
Gin is a skilled sniper, handling Korn's rifle to locate [[Shuichi Akai]] who is 700 yards away, center him in the scope, and steadily aim at him while standing up.<ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref> In Volume 100, he shot Mark, an FBI Agent in a moving car, through the leg. His skills are also shown in non-canon, as in [[Countdown to Heaven]], Gin attempts to snipe [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], mistaking her for Sherry.<ref>Movie 5: Countdown to Heaven</ref>

=== Pain tolerance ===
After he was shot with Conan's tranquilizer dart, he shot himself in the exact spot in order to negate the effects, and did not fall unconscious at all.

== Plot overview ==
==== Shinichi and APTX 4869 (Manga: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ====
[[File:EP1 26.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi Kudo is forced to ingest the poison APTX 4869.]]
In his first appearance in the series, Gin goes to [[Tropical Land]] with Vodka to complete a transaction with [[Black organization#Unnamed Weapons Smuggler|a company owner]] they were blackmailing for gun smuggling. The two board the Mystery Coaster before the meeting to observe from the pinnacle of the coaster if the business man had come alone to the meeting spot below the ferris wheel. A murder occurs on the coaster and the two are forced to remain at the scene as suspects, although Gin yells at [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] several times to hurry up and let them go. Shinichi observes that Gin has the appearance and air of a cold-blooded killer. They are released after Shinichi apprehends the true killer. His and Vodka's suspicious appearance cause Shinichi to follow them and encounter them completing the transaction with the businessman. Gin, who seems to have been keeping watch, knocks down Shinichi with a pipe he found, then force-feeds him [[APTX 4869]]. His parting words to Shinichi are "So long, great detective."

==== Murder of Akemi Miyano (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|16]], Anime: [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|13]]&[[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]]) ====
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|150px|Gin converses with Akemi just before he murders her.]]
Before the current storyline, undercover [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] dated [[Akemi Miyano]], the older sister of [[Shiho Miyano]], in order to infiltrate the Organization. Akai's true allegiance was discovered and he was expelled from the organization. Initially, the Organization couldn't do anything about Akemi because they needed the loyalty of her sister Shiho Miyano, who very valuable as a researcher on the APTX 4869 project.

Two years later the Organization decided that the risk of her contact with Akai was too much. They decided to create a situation where they could eliminate her by having her do a bank heist she was supposed to fail, and Gin was put in charge of making a deal with her. Akemi Miyano was told that the only way that she and [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] would be allowed to leave the Black Organization was to successfully pull off a 10 billion yen bank robbery. After succesfully completing the robbery and tricking her into accidentally poisoning one of her team members, she confronts Gin at the shipping yard to complete the transaction. She tries to tell Gin to hold up his end of the bargain, but he tells her the Organization wouldn't let her sister leave anyway because she was too valuable. He then kills Akemi and flees.

However, the case actually contains a bomb rigged to explode when she calls a certain number on her mobile phone.

Conan almost walks into Gin's legs when Gin and Vodka board the Shinkansen. Vodka yells at Conan, and Gin glares coldly, but neither recognize him.

When they leave to go to the dining car and make the transaction, Conan bugs their seats. After they return with the suitcase full of the client's money, Conan overhears Gin explain to Vodka the details of the bombing plan. Conan is also able to learn Gin and Vodka's codenames. Gin and Vodka disembark at Nagoya to avoid being caught in the explosion, and Conan is stopped from chasing them by Ran. Conan then turns his attention to finding the bomb and successfully ejects the black case from the train before it explodes.

At this time, Sherry takes the Apoptoxin 4869 she had hidden to commit suicide, but instead she shrinks and escapes through a rubbish chute. When Gin and Vodka return, she isn't there. They and many other members of the Organization are ordered to find her, but he and Vodka have no luck. Gin in particular is shown to have an obsession with capturing Sherry and killing her himself.

One day, Conan and Haibara saw Gin's car on a street. They attached a transmitter to it only some seconds before he arrived there. After a while, Gin found an auburn hair in the car and he deduced it was Shiho's. He also found the transmitter and destroyed it, after that is the famous moment when he imagines Shiho naked.
However, Conan and Haibara knew he was going to go to the Haido Hotel, so they followed him too. There, Pisco kidnapped Haibara and took her to a room with a big fireplace. When Gin and Vodka arrived at the room, she (with her adult body because of the Baikal) was hidden in the fireplace. Gin heard her breathing, and intercepted Haibara at the roof when she tried to flee, shooting her many times. When he was ready to kill her, Conan arrived and shot a sleeping dart at Gin. However, he showed a resistance to it, not falling asleep instantly, and shot himself in the arm so that he could stay conscious. After that, he climbed down the chimney, killed Pisco and climbed back up. He returned to his car with Vodka and Vermouth and conversed about Sherry or Shiho. In this chapter, it is hinted that he knows Shiho very well, predicting her movements and being able to confidently identify her by just a hair she left in his car.

Aboard the ship, a man blackmailed by Vermouth kills the ship's captain, and the murder is solved by [[Heiji Hattori]] in disguise as Shinichi Kudo. Vodka initially reports Shinichi's presence to Gin, but then corrects the information when Heiji takes off the Shinichi disguise and states that he was hoping that appearing as Shinichi would lure the real guy out.

The murderer then begins shouting that someone named Vermouth forced him to murder the captain. Vodka presumably reports this development to Gin who reports to the boss because Vermouth later receives a message from the boss ordering her back. Vermouth, who was never aboard the ship in the first place, is badly injured by [[Shuichi Akai]] and a self-inflicted gunshot and calls Gin from a telephone booth for pickup because she can't move. While on the phone, Gin asks her if she knows someone named Shinichi Kudo and she lies, saying she doesn't know him.

Gin assumes the transmitter was set up by Kogoro, and gets permission from the boss to kill him. However, the assassination of Kogoro is interrupted by Conan whose soccer ball breaks Mouri's window, distracting Chianti and Korn who were taking aim. Over the protests of Vermouth, Gin orders the two snipers to kill Conan as well for, as Vodka says, being suspicious. This too is interrupted when Shuichi Akai snipes the transmitter out from between Gin's fingers from 700 yards away. A brief exchange of gunfire ensues but ends quickly after Akai shoots out Gin's scope and puts two bullets in his flak jacket and one in his cheek, leaving a small permanent scar on his face. Gin recognizes the disadvantage and orders the Black Organization members to disperse without taking any more action against Conan or Kogoro. Gin and the other operatives assume the transmitter was set up by the FBI, but still has residual suspicions about Kogoro. Gin eventually decides not to kill Kogoro at the word of Vermouth.

He tells her that he will be watching the whole assassination by planting a bug and microphone on Kir so that she can't do anything suspicious.

When Vodka wondered how Vermouth and Bourbon were going to get off the train before it arrived at the station, Gin revealed that he didn't know or care about their fates. Vermouth's attempted assassination of Sherry wound up stopping the train before it arrived at the destination station, rendering Gin's plan moot.

== Extended canon plot overview ==
=== Differences in the anime ===
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
==== The Shinkansen's Bomb Case ([[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|Anime 5]]) ====
In the manga, this case occurred after [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin and Vodka are replaced with unrelated criminals who look and dress very similarly. The replacement of Gin and Vodka created a continuity error because the episode omitted how Conan learned their codenames, which was important to identifying Tequila as a member of the Black Organization in the [[Game Company Murder Case]].

==== The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case ([[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|Anime 13]]) ====
In the manga, this case occurred before [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin was replaced by a similar looking man with glasses who shot but did not kill Akemi Miyano. This created a rather large continuity error.<ref>Akemi's participation in the robbery was a deal she made with the Black Organization stipulating that if she successfully stole the money, she and her sister would be freed. However, the Organization had intended for her to fail so they could kill her for having a relationship with the FBI infiltrator Shuichi Akai. Although Akemi was successful, Gin killed her anyway. Her death, which the Black Organization refused to explain, was part of the motive that led to Sherry betraying the Organization.</ref> The continuity error was corrected in [[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|episode 128]]. Other information that wound up being delayed included Gin revealing that Akemi had a scientist sister who was valuable to the Organization, and that he was left handed based on how he held his handgun.

==== The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case ([[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|Anime 128]]) ====
This case corrected a continuity error created in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]] by having Gin kill Akemi. Akemi Miyano under the alias "Masami Hirota" and two other robbers successfully steal 10 billion yen. A mask with forged lipstick mark is left behind with the empty getaway vehicle by an unknown party to implicate Hirota. Later that night, Gin and Vodka assassinate the two other bank robbers and place Hirota's lipstick at the crime scene. After realizing she was set up my someone, Conan sneaks into Hirota's apartment and attempts to stop her from meeting the assailants. Ignoring Conan's warning, Hirota heads to an empty warehouse and meets Gin who reveals her true identity to be Akemi Miyano. She asks him to release her sister in exchange for the 10 billion yen. Gin however murders her and takes the keys to a coin locker containing the money from the robbery. Akemi then reveals to Conan the existence of the Black Organization, and the location that she hid the stolen money before dying.

=== Movie Appearances ===
==== [[Countdown to Heaven]] ====
Initially, Gin is involved in the plot because he is to eliminate a traitor in the Organization. Later though, he finds out that Sherry was attending a party at the Twin Tower Buildings, the targeted location, and decides to kill two birds with one stone. He shoots at Sonoko, who got her hair permed and looks a lot like Sherry, but he realizes that it wasn't her after all after Conan gets Sonoko to dodge the bullet and she starts panicking in a very uncomposed manner. He leaves the towers in the end, looking forward to killing Sherry the next time he sees her.

==== [[The Raven Chaser]] ====
In the beginning, during Conan's dream, Gin appears and is shown to know Conan's true identity. Later, in reality, Gin is looking for a memory card that contains information crucial to the Organization. His next appearance is during the climax of the movie. He, Vodka, Chianti, and Korn arrive at the top of Tokyo Tower in a black helicopter. Gin calls Irish and tells him to hold out the computer chip, then orders Chianti to kill Irish and destroy the chip in one shot. He spots someone (Conan) trying to hide and orders Vodka to start using the machine gun that was built into the helicopter. After Conan catapults the broken light into the back of the helicopter and Vodka is trying to get it back in control, he wonders who could have done so much damage to the Organization and leaves the scene.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== The Boss ====
The [[The Boss|boss]] trusts Gin enough to make him an executive agent in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking BO members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the Organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. He has his boss ear which make him a made-man, anything he want to handling the operatings that against the interests of the organization, such as change the assasination plan from Domon to Kogoro, because his wanting to deal with Sherry and set up a lot of bombs in station containing police officers. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
Gin is [[Vodka]]'s superior and they frequently work together, or are seen communicating with one another by phone. Vodka shows Gin absolute respect, using honorifics<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> while speaking with Gin rather than simply using his codename like other agents do. Gin in turn values Vodka for his obedience, so Gin occasionally orders Vodka to go on missions where he needs objective observation or that are annoying.<ref>Both of these were requirements in the Halloween Showdown. Gin and the boss needed a clear idea of what Vermouth was doing so Gin sent Vodka because he could trust him. The mission also required Vodka to dress up in a monster costume, something most other agents, Vodka included, would not have liked to do.</ref> Gin views and treats Vodka as an "inexperienced little brother".<ref name=CD239a>Conan drill page 239: 出来の悪い弟分</ref> Despite this, Gin does not truly trust anyone, including Vodka, and interrogated Vodka about his actions at gunpoint before. Although Vodka is slower than Gin and frequently jumps to incorrect conclusions, Gin patiently explains his deductions to Vodka creating a sort of Sherlock Holmes and Watson dynamic between the two. Vodka covers for Gin's weakness of not remembering the names or faces of those he has killed.

==== Sherry ====
[[Image:Gin imagines Sherry naked.png|thumb|right|200px|Gin imagines Shiho Miyano naked.]]
{{Main|Gin and Sherry}}
Gin has an abnormal attachment for [[Shiho Miyano]]<ref name=CD239/> and seems to enjoy hunting for her, while she seems to fear and hate him. They appear to know each other well despite being in different parts of the Organization. Gin can identify Shiho from a single auburn hair. [[Episode 129|When Shiho escaped from the Black Organization]], Gin began searching for her, ordering Vodka to bring her back dead or alive. Gin and Shiho had [[Reunion with the Black Organization|a direct confrontation]] later in the [[Setting#Haido City Hotel|Haido City Hotel]]. Since then, Shiho has managed to avoid any more direct contact with Gin.

The theory that the two may have had a relationship in the past has been mentioned in at least one official guidebook for the manga<ref name=CD239/> and has some traction in the fandom. [[Gosho Aoyama]] has deferred questions related to the issue in past interviews, asking for fans to be patient.<ref>青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013 [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/?p=287218]

Q: A girl asked about the "Sherry naked" thing, that why does Gin always think about her without clothes, what exactly is their relationship?

A: Gosho answered that they indeed had a relationship, but it wouldn't be interesting if (he) revealed it there, so please wait for it. The poster also mentioned that Gosho had a trolling (or something like that) laugh/smile at the time.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
{{Main|Gin and Vermouth}}
[[File:Ep704-14.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Gin hates Vermouth's treacherous personality.]]
Gin and [[Vermouth]] have rather different personalities. They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Gin and Vermouth mostly trusted one another<ref name=CD239/>, but Gin's trust seems to have eroded as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her activities and intentions on several occasions and also possibly are or were in a romantic relationship with one another, this was hinted in [[Episode 230]] when Vermouth asked Gin if they could make a martini tonight, noting that a martini is a mix of Vermouth and Gin.<ref name=CD239>[[:File:ConanDrill239.jpg|Conan drill page 239]]</ref>. At one point, Gin told Vodka to kill her if he noted her doing anything suspicious, and he didn't particularly care about how she would escape a train heading towards a station packed with explosives.

==== Tequila ====
Although [[Tequila]] is a subordinate of Gin's, he doesn't use honorifics like Vodka does<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> to refer to Gin, giving the impression Tequila and Gin appear equally ranked.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Pisco ====
Although [[Pisco]] and Gin are executive members and Pisco is Gin's senior, Gin dislikes and looks down on him.<ref name=CD239/> He does not show emotion when he kills him in the burning hotel.

==== Irish ====
It seems as though Gin did't really care about Irish, leading to his death in the Raven Chaser.

== Name origin ==
Gin comes from the [[Wikipedia: Gin|hard liquor]] which is known for its juniper berry flavor. It follows the Black Organization codename pattern of hard liquor codenames for men. The codename is probably also a pun on Gin's hair color. Gin pronounced with a hard "g" like "gun" in Japanese (ぎん ''Gin'') means "silver" (銀). This pun was used by a victim to implicate Gin as his killer in [[Countdown to Heaven]].

Gin's English name, Melkior, is the name of one of the Magi, or three kings, who visits the infant Jesus in Christian tradition. The name is Semitic and means 'king city.' Gin's English name was later switched to Gin to follow the Japanese.

== Trivia ==
[[Image:Gin's Porsche.png|thumb|right|200px|Gin's Porsche.]]
* Gin is left handed.<ref name=304p16>Manga Volume 30, File 9, pg 16: "Genta's Trap"</ref>
* Gin can't seem to remember faces he encounters or kills, which explains that he doesn't remember Shinichi.
:* In the anime, although Gin doesn't recognize the name Shinichi Kudo when Vodka mentions it in episode 345, he knows who he is immediately in episode 1 stating: "Sure didn't want him around". Gin shows no recognition of Shinichi in the corresponding manga scene; only Vodka seems to have heard of the high school detective.
* His favorite car is his [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Porsche 356 A|Porsche 356 A]], which he refers to as "German black rain frog". Notably, the car's registration is A 48-69, the same numbers that are used in APTX-4869. In episodes after the reunion with Sherry, the plate is changed to MI 43-68.
* Gin's design has drastically been changed throughout the anime. At first, his hair is actually light brown, and the line structure is not as detailed. In addition, part of his hair comes down his face across his nose. As the series progresses Gin's hair is blond, and the line structure is strongly detailed. Moreover, there is no hair that comes down across his face anymore. Gin's hair color changes once again in Opening 24 where it is then silver to match his manga depiction.
* One glare from Gin can end an argument before it even starts. In episode 176, Gin and Vodka were jaywalking and a man from vehicle that had been forced to stop sharply was preparing to yell at them. Gin looks at him harshly, and the man fearfully shrinks back into his car. In some regions, it is believed that the people with green eyes can bestow the evil eye, intentionally or unintentionally.
* In episode 425, Gin took Korn's rifle to locate Shuichi Akai who was on a building that is 700 yards. At that moment Akai shot at Gin and the bullet was very visible on Gin's reticule. Gin managed to move his head in time to mostly dodge the bullet.
* The name "Gin" (銀) is also known as "Silver" in Japanese, which is also the color of Gin's hair, a point that is noted in Countdown to Heaven.
* While Troy Baker voiced Gin in the Funimation dub, the new English dub has DC Douglas as the voice of Gin, who is most famous for his portrayal of Albert Wesker in the Resident Evil games.
