== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Child prodigy Hiroki Sawada is introduced by a TV program running in the background, while Hiroki himself is working on a computer. The program host explains that by the age of ten, he is already a MIT graduate school student and has developed a DNA Tracker software and is now in the final stage of his second major project, an artificial brain dubbed Noah's Ark. The program host goes on to explain that Hiroki has been under the guardianship of Thomas Schindler, owner of the software giant Schindler, Inc., since his mother died, and that he has been put under a rigorous study program and has had a somewhat deprived childhood. After turning the TV off, Hiroki finishes Noah's Ark, and sends the software through the telephone lines, which causes his computer to show the message "Noah's Ark Sailed Out", simultaneously triggering an alarm in the guardroom. The security guard calls Thomas Schindler and both try to enter Hiroki's room. When they finally break into Hiroki's room, they find that Hiroki is not in the room. Schindler finds Hiroki's shoes on the balcony; He jumped from the top of the building to his death.

The image on his computer screen shows an ark sailing in water and the words "Good-bye Hiroki."

Two years later, at the Beika City Hall, Schindler, Inc. holds a demonstration of a virtual reality game system called Cocoon. Many kids, including the Detective Boys, are invited to the demonstration. However, only the kids with badges are chosen for the demonstration. Professor Agasa and Yusaku Kudo arrive at the City Hall. Agasa gives Conan Edogawa a badge and tells Conan that his mother, Yukiko Kudo, would not be there because of an alumni reunion. The rest of Detective Boys trick a few kids by exchanging badges for the Premium Golden Yaiba Cards. They all use the badges and participate in the demonstration.

In another room, Schindler kills Kashimura, one of his top employees, and Kashimura types in a dying message: the letters J, T and R.

Conan discovers the murder and decides to participate in the demonstration, hoping that the game would lead him to an answer. Yusaku, having worked with Kashimaru on the game, recognizes that J-T-R stands for "Jack The Ripper".

When the demonstration begins, Hiroki's artificial intelligence system, Noah's Ark takes control of the game system Cocoon. When two of the parents try to get the children out, the parents get shocked by a sudden burst of electricity. Noah's Ark then warns the audience that if all fifty kids in the demonstration lose the game, it will kill the kids with a large electromagnetic burst.

The kids in the demonstration are given a choice of five stages in the game, and Conan and the Detective Boys choose the final stage, a re-creation of an 1800 London mystery. In the beginning of the game, Conan discovers that Agasa's inventions don't work. After receiving a hint from Prof.Agasa they decide to go to Sherlock Holmes for help. As they near 221B Baker Street they meet a strange accordion playing vagrant who sings a strange song, but they shrug it off. Conan and his friends arrive at 221b Baker Street, only to find that Holmes and Watson are at Dartmoor. Mistaken for the Baker Street Irregulars by Mrs Hudson, they are invited inside. Ran finds Sherlock's investigation notes on Jack the Ripper, which implies that Jack is highly likely to have a connection to Professor Moriarty. Since finding the Professor is next to impossible, the kids decide to talk to his right hand man Colonel Moran at his favorite hang-out to find out the Professor's location. After causing a brawl and losing Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Genta, Conan forces the Colonel into a standoff by holding Moriarty's wine hostage. It is at this moment an elderly gentleman comes and announces that Professor Moriarty requests an audience with the group. After being led to another gentleman in a carriage, Conan calls out Moriarty for testing them; Moriarty was the gentleman who led them there. After explaining their situation, Moriarty reveals that he found and trained Jack the Ripper when Jack was a street urchin. The professor promises the children an opportunity to bring Jack down by posting a message in the next day's newspaper to kill someone, but refuses to name the victim-to-be, telling them they'd find out by reading the paper. The next day after reading the paper they realize the next victim is to be Irene Adler, the only woman Holmes ever loved.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
[[File:Jack the Ripper game.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The identity of Jack the Ripper revealed by Conan.]]
It is revealed by Yusaku that while he and Tadaaki Kashimura were both college friends and partners in developing the game, he was also employed by Kashimura as a detective to investigate the motive behind Hiroki Sawada's suicide. Yusaku also reveals Kashimura was Hiroki's real father. In the real world, Yusaku continues to reveal the truth behind the case. Yusaku reveals that the murderer is the company's president, '''Thomas Schindler'''. Schindler is revealed to also be responsible for Hiroki's suicide. Hiroki discovered the DNA of Jack's second victim on a dagger purported to have belonged to Jack himself through his DNA searching program. Schindler realized that it was only a matter of time before Hiroki would consequently discover that Jack's blood now runs through Schindler himself. Schindler then proceeded to isolate and pressure Hiroki further, ultimately leading to Hiroki's suicide. Kashimura was killed because Noah's Ark gave that same data to Kashimura. Schindler is immediately arrested.

While protecting Irene Adler two more children are lost. Ai also loses while protecting Conan, leaving only three: Conan, Ran and another child, Hideki Moroboshi. They follow Jack the Ripper to a runaway train from [[wikipedia:Charing Cross railway station|London Charing Cross]], where he dons a disguise and merges with the passengers. Conan correctly deduces which one of the passengers Jack is disguised through the use of Sherlock's notes. After being revealed. Jack throws a smoke bomb while Ran charges him. When the smoke clears Conan and Moroboshi find that everyone is gone. Traveling to the engine room they find that there is no driver and that the train is speeding out of control, with the brakes destroyed. Conan discovers Jack and Ran on the top of the train. There, Jack the Ripper reveals that he has tied himself to Ran and threatens Conan. Ran decides to save Conan and sacrifices herself by jumping off the train and into a ravine, taking Jack the Ripper with her. As Conan begins to lose hope, the mysterious vagrant, who is actually Sherlock Holmes, appears and gives Conan some useful advice that eventually helps Conan and Hideki survive the game (The Train Crash into the [[wikipedia: St Pancras railway station|King's Cross Railway Station]]). After winning the game, Conan reveals that Moroboshi is actually the deceased Hiroki Sawada (in the form of the Ark) in disguise. They chat a little and before saying goodbye to Conan, Hiroki reveals to him that he knows the detective's identity as Shinichi Kudo. After that, the Noah's Ark destroys itself. All the children, including Ran and the Detective Boys, are released from the cocoons. Yusaku then congratulates Conan for beating the game.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* This is the last Detective Conan movie to be made using traditional animation.
* Currently, this is the final movie to be dubbed in english by Funimation Entertainment. No new movies have been announced thus far, though another dubbing company has since done an English dub of [[Zero the Enforcer]].
* This movie is notable for having a screenplay written by a famous Japanese screenwriter and mystery novelist [[Wikipedia: Hisashi Nozawa|Hisashi Nozawa]]. [[Kazunari Kochi]] had written all previous movies and most of the later movies up until [[Dimensional Sniper]].
* Hiroki Sawada is possibly modeled after Doctor Zell, a former Nazi officer and mad experimental scientist in episode 50-51 of the anime ''[[Wikipedia: Lupin III: Part II|Lupin III: Part II]]'', a source of inspiration for ''Detective Conan''. Indeed, before death, Zell uploaded his mind into a computer and created an artificial intelligence system.
* Thomas Schindler's limousine is a silver Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
* Yusaku Kudo and Professor Agasa's limousine is dark blue Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
* The date in London is declared to be September 30, 1888 which is a Sunday, yet Moriarty says that the following day is to be Sunday.
* Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are said to be away on business at Dartmoor in reference to The Hound of the Baskervilles case, however this case did not take place until a year later in 1889.
* Noah's Ark may be a reference to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Ultron from Marvel Comics, who is shown as backing himself up and traveling through the internet to create chaos.
* This is the first movie to use a virtual reality game as the main setting.
* Conan plays [[Wikipedia: Pac-Man|Pac-Man]] in the last scene.
* The gun picked up by Genta at Sherlock Holmes' house is a Tranter 54-bore self-cocking revolver.
* This is the first movie where Conan's gadgets are primarily absent, as in the game, they are converted to a normal accessories, rendering them useless. The next movie where Conan is unable to utilize them is [[The Fist of Blue Sapphire]], though he gains them back later on.
* [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] make appearances in the introduction sequence of the movie as always, but are also featured in a cameo where Yukiko and Yusaku Kudo are disguised as the pair cornering Conan in an alley way.
* Yukiko, aside from appearing in the introduction sequence and her in game portrayal of Irene Adler, is absent in the film itself, with Agasa explaining to Conan that she had a high school reunion, and was unable to attend, meaning that she technically hasn't appeared in the movie herselves.
* This is the only movie where either of Shinichi's parents are directly involved with the storyline. Yusaku make a cameos appearance in [[The Fourteenth Target]] and the two appear in the introduction sequences for [[Countdown to Heaven]] and [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]], but not in the movie themselves, though Yusaku is mentioned later on in Countdown to Heaven
* The version of the main theme used in the film is a slightly modified version of the one from Countdown to Heaven and would again later be reused and modified again for [[Strategy Above the Depths]].

'''{{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 at numerous occasions in different anime series (i.e. mainly cameo appearances) as well as other medias.

== Background ==
''Conan Edogawa'' is [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s alter ego. He did not exist prior to 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 business man 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 in fact 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 Profressor 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 really 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 much later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterwards 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 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 an 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 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 in a professional manner 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 seem willing to give culprits, who has attempted murder due to misunderstandings and fail, a second chance and let them off the hook.

After he had one time failed to stop the culprit from committing suicide, 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.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Conan full face.png|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. Additionally, in the Red, White, Yellow case, Conan was specifically referred to and asked for help by a fellow classmate.

== Skills ==
:''See also: [[Shinichi Kudo#Skills|Shinichi's Skills]]''
=== Detective skills ===
[[File:Glasses Modification(Microphone).PNG|210px|thumb|right|
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 the 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 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 in order to link them to the crime. Conan has 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 few people like [[Heiji]], [[Hakuba]] 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>

=== 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 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 being 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 back flip on his skateboard in order 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.

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

=== Stamina ===

=== 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 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 because he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 (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.

Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in movie 12 of the '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.

=== Criminal psychology ===
Conan shows a keen understanding for criminal psychology, occasionally being able to sense if someone is the true criminal. He can also predict movement and plan of the criminals, and in some cases, he used this skill to "bluff". By deliberately giving 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]].]]

=== Computer skills ===
Conan has some programming skills, for being able to create Mouri Detective Agency's website. He doesn't have the knowledge of 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.

== 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. The following is a list of the different appellations for Conan (and the ones Conan gives in return) encountered in the series.

== 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 name [[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.

=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] Conan and Haibara crossed paths with them at an hotel party while they were 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 back to Shinichi several times, but never permanently.
==== East versus West Detective ====
First he temporary 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 as Conan and appears in front of Ran with Shinichi in order 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 actually a six-year-old they saw. In a phone booth, Conan takes the pill originally meant for his return trip to Tokyo in order 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>

=== Family and friends ===
==== 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 an 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 actually 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 actually 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 troubles 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 in order to show Conan how dangerous his goals are. However after seeing that their son is determent 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 span of time, 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, like an uncle. Due to the fact that 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 for 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" ====
They never meet each other for obvious reasons: Conan is Shinichi's secret identity. However, since Conan tries to act as a child, he often thinks Shinichi as a separate character (in one episode, when Ran claims to go to a date with Shinichi, Conan bids goodbye, oblivious for a while that he is actually 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 really admires and loves Shinichi. In turn, Shinichi is willing to satiate Conan's curiosity, but at one point he gets really 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.
{{clearright}}

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====

==== Masumi Sera ====
Masumi Sera is like a older sister figure to Conan. She knows that Conan is actually 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 Suguru. 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 of 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 CIA infiltrating the organization, the relationship between the two seems to have improved somehow after Conan reveals his identity to Eisuke without hesitating refusing his offer to take Ran with him in America. At that moment, Eisuke confesses to Conan in an amicable way 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 it's possible that 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.
{{clearright}}

==== 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 clearly seems to like Conan and isn't aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of him because of this. Sonoko is also thinking the same after Sera teased Conan about the girl he likes.

==== 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]]
With the exception of 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.

==== Wataru Takagi ====
Wataru Takagi is the only police officer who has come the closest to finding out about [[Conan]]'s identity .In episode 304 ,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 so as to take him for questioning the suspects. He trusts Conan so much that he would take him seriously.

==== Kansuke Yamato ====

==== Hyoue Kuroda ====
[[Kuroda]] is aware how good Conan is as a detective, calling him " Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", he also trusts his deductions and have 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.

==== 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.

==== 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.

==== 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 one and 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."

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin and Vodka ====
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's interfering with their operations, Gin has been shown to be 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.

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] seems to have great personal interest in Conan, referring to him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet'. 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 is able to bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

==== Bourbon ====
[[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] (codenamed Bourbon) has attached himself to the Mouri Detective Agency as Kogoro's "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person's showed up" when he learns Amuro will be joining Kogoro on cases. After learning of Amuro's membership in the Black Organization, though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near Ran. He's become more cautious and is somewhat confused by Amuro's helpful behavior, though he attempts to pretend nothing has changed. His bond with Amuro later seemed to improve when he learns that Amuro is actually an undercover operative from Japanese Secret Police when the two exchange smiles in Café Poirot.<ref>[[Volume 85#File 897 - Scarlet Truth|Volumes 85, File 897: "Scarlet Truth"]]</ref>

=== 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 in order 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 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 in to 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 find 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.

== 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 chapter 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 actually Shinichi Kudo.

The 3rd, 8th, 14th, 19th and 23th movies also demonstrate that [[Kaitou Kid]] apparently 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.

== 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.

== 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.

* In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Conan placed 1st overall with 2,843 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== 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 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 ==
* 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>
* [[Image:EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]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 tranquilized 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.
* Conan/Shinchi's favorite food is lemon pie and favorite drink is iced coffee. Shinichi's favorite food is lemon pie and was first shown in [[The Memories of First Love Case]] and is also shown in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]] when Daisuke say's that he isn't the only one who drinks iced coffee throughout the year.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Child prodigy Hiroki Sawada is introduced by a TV program running in the background, while Hiroki himself is working on a computer. The program host explains that by the age of ten, he is already a MIT graduate school student and has developed a DNA Tracker software and is now in the final stage of his second major project, an artificial brain dubbed Noah's Ark. The program host goes on to explain that Hiroki has been under the guardianship of Thomas Schindler, owner of the software giant Schindler, Inc., since his mother died, and that he has been put under a rigorous study program and has had a somewhat deprived childhood. After turning the TV off, Hiroki finishes Noah's Ark, and sends the software through the telephone lines, which causes his computer to show the message "Noah's Ark Sailed Out", simultaneously triggering an alarm in the guardroom. The security guard calls Thomas Schindler and both try to enter Hiroki's room. When they finally break into Hiroki's room, they find that Hiroki is not in the room. Schindler finds Hiroki's shoes on the balcony; He jumped from the top of the building to his death.

The image on his computer screen shows an ark sailing in water and the words "Good-bye Hiroki."

Two years later, at the Beika City Hall, Schindler, Inc. holds a demonstration of a virtual reality game system called Cocoon. Many kids, including the Detective Boys, are invited to the demonstration. However, only the kids with badges are chosen for the demonstration. Professor Agasa and Yusaku Kudo arrive at the City Hall. Agasa gives Conan Edogawa a badge and tells Conan that his mother, Yukiko Kudo, would not be there because of an alumni reunion. The rest of Detective Boys trick a few kids by exchanging badges for the Premium Golden Yaiba Cards. They all use the badges and participate in the demonstration.

In another room, Schindler kills Kashimura, one of his top employees, and Kashimura types in a dying message: the letters J, T and R.

Conan discovers the murder and decides to participate in the demonstration, hoping that the game would lead him to an answer. Yusaku, having worked with Kashimaru on the game, recognizes that J-T-R stands for "Jack The Ripper".

When the demonstration begins, Hiroki's artificial intelligence system, Noah's Ark takes control of the game system Cocoon. When two of the parents try to get the children out, the parents get shocked by a sudden burst of electricity. Noah's Ark then warns the audience that if all fifty kids in the demonstration lose the game, it will kill the kids with a large electromagnetic burst.

The kids in the demonstration are given a choice of five stages in the game, and Conan and the Detective Boys choose the final stage, a re-creation of an 1800 London mystery. In the beginning of the game, Conan discovers that Agasa's inventions don't work. After receiving a hint from Prof.Agasa they decide to go to Sherlock Holmes for help. As they near 221B Baker Street they meet a strange accordion playing vagrant who sings a strange song, but they shrug it off. Conan and his friends arrive at 221b Baker Street, only to find that Holmes and Watson are at Dartmoor. Mistaken for the Baker Street Irregulars by Mrs Hudson, they are invited inside. Ran finds Sherlock's investigation notes on Jack the Ripper, which implies that Jack is highly likely to have a connection to Professor Moriarty. Since finding the Professor is next to impossible, the kids decide to talk to his right hand man Colonel Moran at his favorite hang-out to find out the Professor's location. After causing a brawl and losing Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Genta, Conan forces the Colonel into a standoff by holding Moriarty's wine hostage. It is at this moment an elderly gentleman comes and announces that Professor Moriarty requests an audience with the group. After being led to another gentleman in a carriage, Conan calls out Moriarty for testing them; Moriarty was the gentleman who led them there. After explaining their situation, Moriarty reveals that he found and trained Jack the Ripper when Jack was a street urchin. The professor promises the children an opportunity to bring Jack down by posting a message in the next day's newspaper to kill someone, but refuses to name the victim-to-be, telling them they'd find out by reading the paper. The next day after reading the paper they realize the next victim is to be Irene Adler, the only woman Holmes ever loved.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
[[File:Jack the Ripper game.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The identity of Jack the Ripper revealed by Conan.]]
It is revealed by Yusaku that while he and Tadaaki Kashimura were both college friends and partners in developing the game, he was also employed by Kashimura as a detective to investigate the motive behind Hiroki Sawada's suicide. Yusaku also reveals Kashimura was Hiroki's real father. In the real world, Yusaku continues to reveal the truth behind the case. Yusaku reveals that the murderer is the company's president, '''Thomas Schindler'''. Schindler is revealed to also be responsible for Hiroki's suicide. Hiroki discovered the DNA of Jack's second victim on a dagger purported to have belonged to Jack himself through his DNA searching program. Schindler realized that it was only a matter of time before Hiroki would consequently discover that Jack's blood now runs through Schindler himself. Schindler then proceeded to isolate and pressure Hiroki further, ultimately leading to Hiroki's suicide. Kashimura was killed because Noah's Ark gave that same data to Kashimura. Schindler is immediately arrested.

While protecting Irene Adler two more children are lost. Ai also loses while protecting Conan, leaving only three: Conan, Ran and another child, Hideki Moroboshi. They follow Jack the Ripper to a runaway train from [[wikipedia:Charing Cross railway station|London Charing Cross]], where he dons a disguise and merges with the passengers. Conan correctly deduces which one of the passengers Jack is disguised through the use of Sherlock's notes. After being revealed. Jack throws a smoke bomb while Ran charges him. When the smoke clears Conan and Moroboshi find that everyone is gone. Traveling to the engine room they find that there is no driver and that the train is speeding out of control, with the brakes destroyed. Conan discovers Jack and Ran on the top of the train. There, Jack the Ripper reveals that he has tied himself to Ran and threatens Conan. Ran decides to save Conan and sacrifices herself by jumping off the train and into a ravine, taking Jack the Ripper with her. As Conan begins to lose hope, the mysterious vagrant, who is actually Sherlock Holmes, appears and gives Conan some useful advice that eventually helps Conan and Hideki survive the game (The Train Crash into the [[wikipedia: St Pancras railway station|King's Cross Railway Station]]). After winning the game, Conan reveals that Moroboshi is actually the deceased Hiroki Sawada (in the form of the Ark) in disguise. They chat a little and before saying goodbye to Conan, Hiroki reveals to him that he knows the detective's identity as Shinichi Kudo. After that, the Noah's Ark destroys itself. All the children, including Ran and the Detective Boys, are released from the cocoons. Yusaku then congratulates Conan for beating the game.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* This is the last Detective Conan movie to be made using traditional animation.
* Currently, this is the final movie to be dubbed in english by Funimation Entertainment. No new movies have been announced thus far, though another dubbing company has since done an English dub of [[Zero the Enforcer]].
* This movie is notable for having a screenplay written by a famous Japanese screenwriter and mystery novelist [[Wikipedia: Hisashi Nozawa|Hisashi Nozawa]]. [[Kazunari Kochi]] had written all previous movies and most of the later movies up until [[Dimensional Sniper]].
* Hiroki Sawada is possibly modeled after Doctor Zell, a former Nazi officer and mad experimental scientist in episode 50-51 of the anime ''[[Wikipedia: Lupin III: Part II|Lupin III: Part II]]'', a source of inspiration for ''Detective Conan''. Indeed, before death, Zell uploaded his mind into a computer and created an artificial intelligence system.
* Thomas Schindler's limousine is a silver Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
* Yusaku Kudo and Professor Agasa's limousine is dark blue Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
* The date in London is declared to be September 30, 1888 which is a Sunday, yet Moriarty says that the following day is to be Sunday.
* Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are said to be away on business at Dartmoor in reference to The Hound of the Baskervilles case, however this case did not take place until a year later in 1889.
* Noah's Ark may be a reference to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Ultron from Marvel Comics, who is shown as backing himself up and traveling through the internet to create chaos.
* This is the first movie to use a virtual reality game as the main setting.
* Conan plays [[Wikipedia: Pac-Man|Pac-Man]] in the last scene.
* The gun picked up by Genta at Sherlock Holmes' house is a Tranter 54-bore self-cocking revolver.
* This is the first movie where Conan's gadgets are primarily absent, as in the game, they are converted to a normal accessories, rendering them useless. The next movie where Conan is unable to utilize them is [[The Fist of Blue Sapphire]], though he gains them back later on.
* [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] make appearances in the introduction sequence of the movie as always, but are also featured in a cameo where Yukiko and Yusaku Kudo are disguised as the pair cornering Conan in an alley way.
* Yukiko, aside from appearing in the introduction sequence and her in game portrayal of Irene Adler, is absent in the film itself, with Agasa explaining to Conan that she had a high school reunion, and was unable to attend, meaning that she technically hasn't appeared in the movie herselves.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Conan and Ran are invited by Sonoko to her family's mountain villa in Gunma Prefecture to see the autumn leaves and meet up with Sonoko's sister Ayako and some old friends of hers. At first they get lost thanks to Ran's lack of direction sense, but they find their way and see themselves in front of a bridge. On the way to the front they see a strange bandaged man in a dark cloak crossing the bridge. When they see him he turns around, shocking them with his face and eye contact as he quickly makes a retreat around the side of the house.

Ran and Conan are greeted by Sonoko herself, who is a bit disappointed since with a "kid" around, she won't be able to flirt a lot. Ran asks Sonoko about the bandaged guy, but Sonoko brushes her off saying he might be a bored local hoping to prank people. Everything seems fine as Ran tries to find her room, accidentally walking in on the boys of the house who are either relaxing or changing clothes, including seeing at least one of them fully nude. Conan is greatly embarrassed as he witnesses this.

When everyone is ready they gather at the dining room, and Sonoko introduces them as members of their university's film club: the handsome Ohta was the main star, the tall Sumiya was the cameraman and SFX man, the pudgy Takahashi was the handyman, the gentle Ayako was the make-up/costume artist and the beautiful Chikako was the script writer. Chikako also happens to have netted herself a great deal as a professional writer, after her first script was a total knock-out some time ago! However, Ayako mentions someone named "Atsuko", which makes Chikako very angry and then leave for a walk.

It begins to rain, and Chikako hasn't returned. Ran and Sonoko chat about the handsome Ohta, and Sonoko seems smitten with him, but he flirts with ''Ran'' instead, making both Sonoko and Conan angry and jealous. They go out for a walk in the rain, with both Conan and Sonoko following them, but a huge thunder booms, and Ran runs away in terror. When she's trying to get back to the villa.

Ran is attacked by the mysterious man, who corners her and attacks with an axe! Ran is so terrified that she can barely fight back, but the man leaves as soon as Conan and Sonoko arrive.

The three make their way back to the mansion, and tell the others (Chikako included) about the attack on Ran. They aren't very convinced, and Chikako angers Sumiya by revealing he's scared of thunder, but Takahashi says he ''did'' see a man in a black cape around. Sumiya and Ohta also saw him before, and for worse, it turns out that not only the phones are down, but the bridge has also been cut. Therefore, they're all stuck at the villa.

Takahashi is about to panic and the others are also uneasy, but the more practical Chikako scolds them severely for giving into what this "bandaged man" wants and says they'll have to wait. However, when she finds a mysterious letter under her doorstep, she's terrified and decides to not have dinner with the group.

Before dinner, Ayako explains that the group disbanded after the death of their friend Atsuko, who hung herself in their club room. She then asks Conan not to talk about it, since she planned the reunion to get everyone back together. When Takahashi is done fixing the rooftop he gets ready to join them for a lavish dinner prepared by Ayako and Ran, but all of a sudden he's terrified and says he's seen someone besides the window. Said someone is the bandaged man, and he has kidnapped Chikako and is taking her into the woods.

Sumiya covers Chikako's remains with his jacket, and the group returns to the villa. Ayako blames herself for everything since she organized the meeting, but Sumiya says it's only the "bandaged man's" fault. Everyone is very shaken and they decide that it's best to go to bed for the night after checking on every window and door for safety; they'll try finding their way to the nearest village in the morning. Conan, Sonoko, and Ran find Chikako's slippers near the house's back door, and Conan thinks she willingly left to meet up with someone in secret.

Ran and Conan are sharing a room, and Ran is so scared of how she was targeted that she asks Conan if they can share a bed too. He tries to focus on the current info but is distracted by how close Ran is to him.

The bandaged man strikes again, this time trying to kill Ran in her sleep. Since Ran is an extremely heavy sleeper, Conan first kicks her out of the way and then grabs his bow-tie to amplify the volume of his voice and yell at her to wake up. Ran opens her eyes and she freezes up as Conan tries to tackle the guy to the ground, then the man escapes through the window but not before tossing Conan away and making him twist his ankle. The bandaged man quickly makes a hasty retreat, leaving Conan to wonder why he is targeting Ran ''and'' why, if the guy came from the outside, there are no mud or water stains on the floor.

==== Part 2 ====
Everyone decides to stay up for the night and keep together to throw off the murderous man in bandages. Conan sees that Ayako has a choker that belonged to the dead Chikako. She says she found it a short while ago, but Conan recalls that she had it on when she was abducted. This means that yes, the "bandaged man" is someone in the group.

The group stays in the dining room, and Ohta tries to comfort Ran by hitting on her again much to Conan's displeasure. He mentions how he was the closest to the man and tried to grab him, saying he was thin enough for him to wrap his arms around his waist.

Conan realizes that Sumiya accidentally left his camera on, so there's a video with the window incident and Chikako's abduction. He sees Chikako ''was'' wearing her choker when abducted, but that poses doubts about how fast she was taken away from the house; none of the three men (the only ones with enough physical strength) could have been fast enough to carry a woman of normal weight around ''that'' fast. Also, the three men were inside the building when Chikako was kidnapped.

Ayako, the last one to see Chikako alive, tells Conan that she saw her holding a letter and looking disturbed; this confirms Conan's suspicions about a secret meeting between Chikako and her eventual murderer. He wonders why Ran is a target now, however, and asks her if she remembers seeing something special when she got into the guys's rooms.

The lights go off, thanks to the thunderstorm. Ayako, Ran and Conan go for candles, and Ran is attacked again, but this time she manages to react and breaks the "man"'s axe with a kick. The lights return and one of the windows is all broken; Conan thinks it was done from the inside to fool everyone into thinking the man used it to get into the house, when he's actually among the group. Additionally, he sees some odd signals in the veranda, and that tells him who the "bandaged man" is.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>As Ran and Sonoko are talking, Conan decides to put Ran to sleep and use her to resolve the case, but the sleeping needle hits Sonoko instead. So using Sonoko's persona to express his thoughts, Conan unravels the whole mystery of the murder and attempted murder.

Conan begins by telling everyone that the killer is NOT from the outside, since Ran and his room was too clean for a space that was supposedly broken into. The killer actually came from Chikako's now-empty room barefoot, went out on the balcony, cut a hole in the window (right next to the lock, a detail only insiders knew about) to enter silently and attack Ran, going back into Chikako's room when she screamed/Conan repelled him and changing clothes inside before joining the group.

Conan/Sonoko continues by saying that Chikako's kidnapping wasn't such, but a trick made with a puppet, a cape, two wires and the already dead Chikako's severed head. A wire was strung over one of the rails, and both of them were tied above the window: when the killer cut them off, the "fake killer" slid over and passed in front of the window (which is what the group saw), then was 'hauled back' by the actual murderer. Only one person could have done that '''Ryoichi Takahashi''', who was repairing the roof ''and'' as a former stagehand, is the only one with enough skills to do so.

Takahashi retorts that he was with the group the whole time, and adds that he couldn't have carried Chikako's body with him. Conan/Sonoko retorts that maybe he couldn't have carried the ''whole'' corpse, ''but could do that with only her head''. He tries to retort with how the "bandaged man" isn't exactly fat like he is, but can't finish the sentence - because Conan/Sonoko adds that Takahashi ''is not as fat as he looks'' and uses padding as well as baggy clothes. So he discarded the padding, killed Chikako and dismembered her body, then carried her head under his baggy clothes and disimulately left it next to her mutilated torso to find, and put the padding back to keep pretending he's overweight.

Conan/Sonoko then says this is why Takahashi, as the "bandaged man", '''attacked Ran Mouri''' because she had seen him half-naked when she barged into his room, and thus saw how he wasn't fat, and he tried to kill her before she could recall it and throw the plan off. Since this happened ''before'' he could kill his target, Takahashi also cut the phones and the bridge, then wrote the letter that led Chikako to meet up with him so he would kill her and dismember her corpse, probably a letter mentioning Atsuko, the girl who committed suicide.

Takahashi admits his guilt, and says that he did it for his beloved Atsuko. He explains that he always suspected there was something odd in how Atsuko, a very cheerful girl who had told him about a script of hers that she thought of as a masterpiece, suddenly fell into an eventually suicidal depression around the time Chikako's script was a hit. He went to see the movie based off it and realized that Chikako had stolen Atsuko's "treasure" and made it pass as hers, winning prizes and fame off Atsuko's work.

The day before Chikako got the proper award, Atsuko met up with Takahashi and told him the truth, sobbing about how no one would believe her if she tried to prove she was the author of Chikako's story. The day afterwards, Atsuko committed suicide in the club room, and Takahashi swore revenge on Chikako since she caused the ruin and death of the girl he loved. He consummated this by writing the letter, where he threatened Chikako to reveal the truth if she didn't meet up with him, and then decapitated Chikako when she came to find him.

Takahashi opens his baggy sweater and shirt, dropping his bandaged man's costume on the floor as well as a knife, which he then points at his neck while saying he's going to join Atsuko in death and be the brave messenger of justice who avenged her. Conan/Sonoko tells him to stop screwing around because he never was as brave as he claimed to be, since he attacked an innocent person like Ran. Realizing his mistake, Takahashi falls to the ground in sorrow and regrets what he has done as the sun comes out, ridding them of the horrors of that cold night. Sonoko soon wakes up, and she accepts the credit for resolving the mystery.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
[[File:EP162-passengers.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Episode 162]]
* Ryoichi Takahashi reappears in the one year ago flashback from [[The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case]].

== Continuity ==
* First case in which the Suzuki family villa is shown. It is revisited again in [[The Sealed Western-Style Window]].

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The manga version of this story was the first appearance of Sonoko Suzuki (while in the anime she made her debut in [[Valentine Murder Case]]), as well as the first time that Conan solved a murder through her (which in the anime was first done in [[A June Bride Murder Case]]). The manga version established that she never met Conan until now.
* In the manga, immediately after the attack by the bandaged man in Ran and Conan's room, Conan was still able to walk and run.
* The anime version ends with Ran bringing up Sonoko's deduction of the case. Conan is worried as his cover might be blown, only for Sonoko to accept the credit for solving the murder. The manga placed this at the beginning of the [[Karaoke Box Murder Case]].
** Additionally in the manga, Kogoro and Shinichi briefly are shown in the background when Sonoko claims that they couldn't measure up to her deduction skills.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Masaru Ohta - Michel
:* Hiroki Sumiya - Randall
:* Ryoichi Takahashi - Felix
:* Chikako Ikeda - Jessica "Jessie" Star
:* Atsuko Tokumoto - Emily
* In the Italian dub Chikako's name has been changed to Yoko.

Kogoro Mouri received a strange cut-and-paste letter from a client called Keiji Asoh asking him investigate something on Tsukikage Island. He then found out that the man requesting for the investigation, Keiji Asoh, has been dead for 12 years. He was a world-renowned pianist who suddenly killed his family, set his house on fire, and played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata as his house burnt around him.

Despite thinking the letter is a poor prank, Kogoro decides to investigate anyway and finds the island is holding elections for mayor. Two years ago, a passerby heard the Moonlight Sonata playing from the community center and discovered the body of the mayor slumped over the piano. Although he died from a heart attack, the similarity to the death of Keiji Asoh caused the islanders to think the piano has been cursed.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
:'''First Murder'''
::Victim: Hideo Kawashima
::Cause of Death: Drowning
::Location: Piano Room
::Time of Death: 30 minutes – 1 hour before being found

:* The first movement of the Moonlight Sonata was played from a tape recorder.
:* There was a sea water trail from the door to Kawashima's body and he has dirt and sand on the back of his shirt.
:* Kawashima's jacket was found on the beach.
:* The doors and windows of the piano room were locked from the inside.
:* There were several minutes of silence at the beginning of the tape.
:* The Moonlight Sonata sheet music was found, but the notes in the fourth bar were "strange".
:* Conan decoded that the “strange” notes actually say: "The hellfire of hatred made you pay."

:'''Second Murder'''
::Victim: Tatsuji Kuroiwa
::Cause of Death: Stabbed to death
::Location: Broadcasting Room
::Time of Death: 5 minutes and 30 seconds before being found

[[Image:MoonlightSonataCode.gif|thumb|right|200px|G A G A E E C♯ D F B♭ A E D♯ F D♯ F E A B A A C♯ B♭ B B♭ A B♭ C A "You realize it don't you? You're next." ("Wakatteru na? Tsugi ha omae no ban da.")]]
:* The second movement of the Moonlight Sonata was played.
:* Nishimoto discovered the body.
:* The tape has 5 minutes and 30 seconds lead in silence.
:* Music notes written with the victim's blood were found.
:* Conan decoded the music notes: "You realize it don't you? You're next."

:'''Third Murder'''
::Murder: Ken Nishimoto
::Cause of Death: Hanging
::Location: Storage Room
::Time of Death: 30 minutes before being found

:* The third movement of the Moonlight Sonata was set to play.
:* Sheet music that looked liked a suicide note was found under his feet. The decoded note said he regretted killing Kawashima and Kuroiwa and that he didn't want people to find out the wrongdoing they did years ago.
:* There was no chair or anything to stand on, so Nishimoto couldn't hang himself.
:* No one would bother writing a suicide note in code.

:'''Other incriminating evidence:'''
:* The dusty piano in the city hall was tuned perfectly.
:* After the first murder, there was someone outside the piano room whom Conan and Kogoro failed to catch.
:* When the gang returned to the city hall after the second murder, there was someone in the piano room who jumped out the window and Murasawa was found unconscious on the floor.
:* After the third murder, Conan returned to the piano room and found a tuning hammer for the piano.
:* Under the piano was a secret drawer with cocaine in it.
:* Upon looking at the pictures of the crime scene where Kuroiwa was murdered, there was a button with its red light on near the victim's neck.
:* Conan found that Hirata has powder-like substance under his sleeves and his left hand was bandaged. He also had lots of foreign money with him.
:* Keiji Asoh left sheet music in his safe to which it read: “To my son, Seiji”. Asoh had a son who became ill when he was a child and had to be hospitalized, meaning he was NOT killed in the incident that took the lives of the Asoh family.

* '''Conclusion'''
The person who knocked out Murasawa in the piano room was '''Kazuaki Hirata'''. The bandage on his left hand was the result of smashing the window when he was trying to escape. He was also the one that Kogoro and Conan chased outside the piano room. The piano room was his meeting place with Kawashima when doing business: dealing drugs. He was using the piano's secret compartment as a hiding place for cocaine he got from overseas to which he exchanged later for large sums of money. The reason why he was always talking about the cursed piano was because he wanted to keep everyone in the town away from it. Murasawa saw the drugs that he had left in there earlier so he hit him. Still, he was unrelated to the murders because he wouldn't have related the piano to the crimes.

In the second murder, they found that he had been dead for only a few minutes but when Conan fell on the code of blood, it didn't smear when it takes 25-30 minutes for human blood to dry. It was just a trick that the killer used to manipulate the time of death of the victim. Upon looking at the pictures, there was a button that was lighted near Kuroiwa's neck. But after the body was moved, the light was turned off. This was actually the reverse button. While the police weren't looking, the killer turned off the light. The killer used the reverse side (the blank side that didn't have the song), which played for over 30 min and then it reversed. That was when the 5 minutes and 30 seconds of gap played before the music started.

In the third murder, the killer didn't have the time to put a chair or desk at Nishimoto's feet because he had to escape in time. The killer was probably male because the murders required a lot of physical strength.

The purpose of drowning Kawashima was to send the forensic examiner back to Tokyo, because it was impossible to do an autopsy on the island. The tape in the second murder was a setup so the killer could create an alibi.

Conan deduced that the killer was '''Narumi Asai''' and that she was, in fact, Asoh's aforementioned son, '''Seiji Asoh'''. Asai was probably the surname of the family that adopted him. After graduation, he came to the island as a female doctor. The pronunciation of his name was not written on his diploma, nor the medical license, because if they checked his history, they would have found out that he was a man: the kanji forming Asoh's name could be read as either "Seiji" (a male-only name) or "Narumi" (a female-only name): coupled with Asoh's feminine features and rather girlish voice, it let him masquerade as a female doctor rather well, plus falsifying the times of death and manipulating the crime scenes. He also stayed all night so that they'd make him last for questioning, keeping the "disguise" intact.

As for Murasawa, he was an admirer of the late Asoh and he was the one who kept the donated piano in tune just like that night.

As Conan-through-Kogoro explained all of this, suddenly the police came in and said that Seiji/Narumi had escaped. While they were looking for him, the community center building suddenly went up in flames: it turns out Seiji, who had realized that he had been found out, locked himself inside and set it on fire, intending to die like his father.

Conan, carrying Asoh's last music sheets with his message for the then-young Seiji, managed to slip in and told Seiji, who was sitting at the piano, to keep on living. Seiji confirmed that he was the young boy who escaped his family's murder, plus everything that Conan-through-Kogoro had already said (explained below in "Motive"). When Seiji was done, Conan insisted that he should escape and live; Seiji refused, however, saying that he was already too bloodstained. Then, he grabbed Conan and threw him through the window, saving his life. Afterwards, he played one last music code message in the burning flames: "Thank you, little detective."

* '''Motive'''
Seiji's motive dated back when his father, the pianist Keiji Asoh, and his family was murdered. Kawashima, Nishimoto, Kuroiwa, and Kameyama used Asoh's international concerts as a front for their international drug trade. When Asoh stated that he wouldn't cooperate any longer, they got scared that their secret might be exposed, so they locked the family in their home and set it on fire, . This was all written in the sheet music that he left behind in the safe as his confession to his remaining son. Seiji was hospitalized in Tokyo at the time of the murder, and later was adopted by a friend of the Asoh family.

Seiji went back to the island, under his "Narumi" disguise, bewcause he never believed the official "Keiji Asoh killed his family and himself" version and wanted to find out the truth. As said above, when he told Kameyama that he was Asoh's son, the late mayor was terrified and told him everything an then had a fatal heart attack. Seiji played the Moonlight Sonata that his father loved so much upon seeing the mayor dead, and ultimately that gave him the idea of taking justice in his own hands.

After Seiji's death and the end of the case, Conan and Ran talked about him. They wondered why did Seiji summon Kogoro when he knew how risky that would be for his plan, and Conan speculated that it wasn't just a challenge - that deep down, Seiji ''wanted'' Kogoro to stop him.</spoiler>
