=== Resolution ===

<spoiler>
After putting Kogoro to sleep on the diving tower, Conan tells Ran to bring Inspector Megure into the pool area, for he has solved the case! After Megure and his men are brought back into the pool area, Kogoro (Conan) reveals to them that Naoya Saijo's death was murder, not an accident. He mentions that the murderer first knocked Naoya out and dressed him up in swim clothes and ear plugs. However, the earplugs were not the same ones that Naoya had when Conan first saw him. He then points out that a swimming cap was used to disguise that fact that there was no blood or hair found on the diving board. This leads him to reveal that Naoya was killed poolside and the swimming cap was just a ruse. Lastly, he mentions that the old man was unwillingly used as witness for the murder. He could attest that he saw someone diving, as he viewed the building from his apartment at the same time every night. However, the old man never saw who it was exactly due to the lights being turned off, but it was the culprit that took the dive. Kogoro (Conan) then points to '''Hisashi Kijima''' as the murderer, due the fact that he was a speed swimmer, who all wore swimming caps. Kogoro's (Conan's) evidence to seal the case is that the old man drew the sparkle from Hisashi Kijima's earring.
Hisashi reveals that his motive was Naoya blackmailing him for Hisashi's drunk driving accident that led to the injury of Hisashi's girlfriend.

=== Situation ===
Two security guards at the Beika Art Museum see a medieval suit of armor moving on its own. Ran hears the rumor and wants to visit the museum; when Conan and Kogoro mock her for believing it might be true, she forces them to come along for fear of her karate skills. While admiring a painting, Ran meets Ochiai, the curator of the museum, who explains his love for the art and then berates a museum worker named Kubota for not handling a painting properly. Another worker, Iijima, takes over the job before they are interrupted by the museum's new owner, Manaka, arriving with an architect. The museum will be demolished soon to make a casino, despite the sale having hinged on the promise to keep the museum open. After Kubota accidentally drops a helmet, Manaka mentions his plans to sell all the museum pieces, which frustrates Kubota enough to throw it down after, but Conan notices that Ochiai doesn't lecture Kubota this time.
Conan, Kogoro and Ran visit the rest of the museum. As they are about to leave, Ran notices a previously closed gallery has reopened and convinces the other two to come along. In the "Hell Gallery" they first see a large painting of a knight having stabbed a demon in the name of justice. Ran then hears a dripping sound and turns to find that Manaka has been pinned to the opposite wall by a sword through the throat.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = EP8 Case.jpg
| location = Beika Art Museum
| victim = Manaka

| description = Manaka, the new owner of the Beika Art Museum, is found dead in one of the exhibit rooms. The murder scene is a tableau of ''Divine Punishment'', a painting depicting a righteous knight who battled the devil and imprisoned it.
}}

Inspector Megure arrives to investigate, and he, Kogoro, and Conan check the surveillance cameras to see if the culprit was recorded. However, the murderer had been lying in wait in the guise of a knight's suit of armor.

The surveillance camera caught all of Manaka's brutal murder, multiple stabbings ending with him pinned to the wall and the knight walking away, towards the camera — exactly like, Kogoro and Conan realize, the painting in the gallery. Because the gallery was blocked off at 4 p.m. but re-opened by 5 p.m., and the video timestamps set the murder at about 4:30 p.m., Inspector Megure deduces that the murderer must be a museum worker. Conan also notices that Manaka tried to write something on a piece of paper between the first attack and his death; while he threw the pen away, the paper remains crumpled in his hand, and names Kubota as the killer. Kubota has no alibi as Ochiai had him doing a task in the office, where he was alone. He has motive because, as Iijima reveals, the owner wanted Kubota to repay the money he'd made selling pieces off secretly.

Conan finds a pen on the ground, which anyone in the museum could have forgotten on the table. It matches the video image and has ink, so Inspector Megure concludes that it was the pen Manaka used. Kubota is detained as they wait for the suit of armor to be found. Conan is unsatisfied with Kubota's apparent carelessness and why he would mirror a painting when he has no great love for art. He's also not sure if he's really the suspect. When Conan went back to the surveillance camera room, he lies the police officers that Inspector Megure needs help. When the police officers went out, he has now the chance to watch the surveillance footage one more time. He notices that Manaka looks shocked when he sees the paper he writes on, and realizes that the pen Conan found had its point retracted, when there wouldn't have been reason or time for Manaka to retract it before throwing it away. Conan tricks his way into re-examining the dying message, and finds inkless scribbles over the original writing. The police find the armor in Kubota's locker, but Conan has figured out the truth and knows the murderer's trick.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
**The security camera recorded Manaka as he seemingly waited for someone. Suddenly, with agility and precision, the relic knight behind him struck him with its sword. While it prepared to strike again, the owner barely managed to grab a painting tag, write something down and throw the pen away. The knight slashed and a final thrust ended his life.
**Inspectors Megure and Kogoro found a museum staff's name, Kubota, written in the crumpled paper in Manaka's hand.
**Conan also found the pen on the floor;
**The bloodied suit of armor was discovered in Kubota's locker.
**Conan noticed that the pen had its point retracted, the crumpled paper had inkless pen marks on it, and that the artwork tags were in the room, but the pieces weren't. Certainly, Kubota, who didn't seem to have a penchant for the arts, wouldn't have thought to protect those from being damaged.

* '''Conclusion'''
Manaka was scheduled to have a meeting with '''Ochiai''', the art museum director. Little did the owner know that the director already staged his death. Ochiai dressed himself with the suit of armor, strategically placed the tag with Kubota's name written on it and the pen with which Manaka apparently used to write the note, then murdered Manaka medieval style.

But the little eye of justice had tricks of his own. Conan pulled an "innocent" act of wanting the directions to the toilet be written by Ochiai. And before the director knew it, he drew the inkless pen from his pocket.

* '''Motive'''
In the hopes of getting the art museum to stay opened, the previous owner who got bankrupt sold the museum to Manaka. Manaka, however, was consumed by his own greed and planned to convert the building into a casino.

Ochiai was not going to let it happen as he considered the artworks as his own. He killed Manaka to prevent the inevitable.

And as for Kubota, Ochiai thought it just right to punish the person who had been selling art relics and pieces secretly.

While Kogoro and the group are watching a news report on a recent bank robbery, Amuro stops by with sandwiches from the Poirot after finishing his part time job for the day. After commenting on the robbery, Amuro reveals that he wants the scoop on Kogoro's newest case request after deducing from Kogoro's appearance and habits that Kogoro had a case. Kogoro gets a text from the client requesting that Kogoro switch the meeting location to the Café Columbo, and Amuro goes with them after changing out of his work clothes.

At the Columbo, Kogoro explains to Amuro the request was to find the locker a key belongs to. The client fails to show, so Amuro, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran go back to the Mouri Detective Agency to make sure the client didn't actually turn up there instead. When Amuro arrives at the agency, he and Conan notice someone had broken in and appeared to have intercepted the client while they were out. Stepping outside, Amuro explains his deductions to the rest of the gang and that the culprit is hiding in the restroom. Before Amuro can open the bathroom door, a gunshot rings out, and Conan rushes in to find a dead man who apparently committed suicide with a gun and a taped-up crying woman.

**Before the tragedy, he was in his small party where they ate and drank. On Valentine’s day (because of the tradition), each girl gives a guy a bar of chocolate, to which the guy would consume preferentially.
**Conan noticed that even though her son died, Katsuhiko's mother is doing the dishes.
**Susumu drank the coffee, which makes his mother mad, but she suddenly had a change of heart and gave him some cake despite Susumu's previous troubles with cavities.

* '''Conclusion'''
After putting Kogoro to sleep with the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], Conan, using the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]], revealed how Katsuhiko’s real killer was '''his mother'''.

Katsuhiko does not smoke with filters, that’s why Naomichi’s attempt to poison him through this, failed. Meanwhile, his mother knew his habits, and put poison in his coffee, knowing that he wouldn’t eat the antidote in the cake. The reason she had a change of heart when Susumu drank the coffee is because he drank the coffee with the poison, so she quickly gave him the antidote in the cake so he wouldn't die. She also framed Yoshimi by switching the chocolates she gave him with a half-eaten bar that Katsuhiko apparently ate. Though his mother immediately washed all the cups and switched the chocolates, poison lingers much deeper than the naked eye could see.

* '''Motive'''
When her husband’s business took a turn for the worse, Katsuhiko's mother had to think of the quickest way to acquire Katsuhiko’s estate, and save the house.

Katsuhiko is an orphan who was adopted by his only living relative when he was a kid. His foster mother knew he fell in love with Yoshimi since she closely resembled his deceased mother, so she framed her.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
**Two years ago, an anonymous person started sending Dr. Ogawa boxes full of toys, along with some cash, on the first day of each month. And once every year on a winter, Morning Glory flowers get delivered to the hospital where he worked.
**Dr. Ogawa received the flowers on that exact same day. However, this time the money came separately with a letter.
**Coincidentally, as Conan was playing with one of the toys, he discovered that there was a username in the video game that was not of Dr. Ogawa's five-year old son, Yuta. He rummaged through patient records and found that Tomoya Ogino, indeed, was a kid who passed away three years ago on that day after being operated on by the doctor.

* '''Conclusion'''
Conan deduced that the presents were not given to Dr. Ogawa in gratitude, but with grudge and hate, by someone related to Tomoya Ogino.

Sensing that Yuta was in danger, they rushed and found him in a park near his kindergarten with an unknown man. Turned out, this man was '''Tomoya's father''', who planned to end Yuta's life on the same day and at the same age that Tomoya died. The father lured Dr. Ogawa and Yuta with his son's old toys and life insurance money, and sent his son's favorite flower to commemorate his death.

Had Conan not interfered by kicking a nearby soccer ball towards the man, Yuta wouldn't have been saved from an ill fate.

As for Ran, she stopped her suspicion that Conan was Shinichi. He had asked Dr. Agasa to call Ran as him using the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]].

* '''Motive'''
Tomoya's father could not accept that Tomoya died not of surgical complications from Dr. Ogawa's hands. He blamed Dr. Ogawa and planned to have his revenge by taking away what he believed was also taken from him: a father's son.

== Case ==

=== Situation ===
Two security guards at the Beika Art Museum see a medieval suit of armor moving on its own. Ran hears the rumor and wants to visit the museum; when Conan and Kogoro mock her for believing it might be true, she forces them to come along for fear of her karate skills. While admiring a painting, Ran meets Ochiai, the curator of the museum, who explains his love for the art and then berates a museum worker named Kubota for not handling a painting properly. Another worker, Iijima, takes over the job before they are interrupted by the museum's new owner, Manaka, arriving with an architect. The museum will be demolished soon to make a casino, despite the sale having hinged on the promise to keep the museum open. After Kubota accidentally drops a helmet, Manaka mentions his plans to sell all the museum pieces, which frustrates Kubota enough to throw it down after, but Conan notices that Ochiai doesn't lecture Kubota this time.
Conan, Kogoro and Ran visit the rest of the museum. As they are about to leave, Ran notices a previously closed gallery has reopened and convinces the other two to come along. In the "Hell Gallery" they first see a large painting of a knight having stabbed a demon in the name of justice. Ran then hears a dripping sound and turns to find that Manaka has been pinned to the opposite wall by a sword through the throat.

{{InfoBox Crime

| description = Manaka, the new owner of the Beika Art Museum, is found dead in one of the exhibit rooms. The murder scene is a tableau of ''Divine Punishment'', a painting depicting a righteous knight who battled the devil and imprisoned it.
}}

Inspector Megure arrives to investigate, and he, Kogoro, and Conan check the surveillance cameras to see if the culprit was recorded. However, the murderer had been lying in wait in the guise of a knight's suit of armor.

The surveillance camera caught all of Manaka's brutal murder, multiple stabbings ending with him pinned to the wall and the knight walking away, towards the camera — exactly like, Kogoro and Conan realize, the painting in the gallery. Because the gallery was blocked off at 4 p.m. but re-opened by 5 p.m., and the video timestamps set the murder at about 4:30 p.m., Inspector Megure deduces that the murderer must be a museum worker. Conan also notices that Manaka tried to write something on a piece of paper between the first attack and his death; while he threw the pen away, the paper remains crumpled in his hand, and names Kubota as the killer. Kubota has no alibi as Ochiai had him doing a task in the office, where he was alone. He has motive because, as Iijima reveals, the owner wanted Kubota to repay the money he'd made selling pieces off secretly.

Conan finds a pen on the ground, which anyone in the museum could have forgotten on the table. It matches the video image and has ink, so Inspector Megure concludes that it was the pen Manaka used. Kubota is detained as they wait for the suit of armor to be found. Conan is unsatisfied with Kubota's apparent carelessness and why he would mirror a painting when he has no great love for art. He's also not sure if he's really the suspect. When Conan went back to the surveillance camera room, he lies the police officers that Inspector Megure needs help. When the police officers went out, he has now the chance to watch the surveillance footage one more time. He notices that Manaka looks shocked when he sees the paper he writes on, and realizes that the pen Conan found had its point retracted, when there wouldn't have been reason or time for Manaka to retract it before throwing it away. Conan tricks his way into re-examining the dying message, and finds inkless scribbles over the original writing. The police find the armor in Kubota's locker, but Conan has figured out the truth and knows the murderer's trick.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
**The security camera recorded Manaka as he seemingly waited for someone. Suddenly, with agility and precision, the relic knight behind him struck him with its sword. While it prepared to strike again, the owner barely managed to grab a painting tag, write something down and throw the pen away. The knight slashed and a final thrust ended his life.
**Inspectors Megure and Kogoro found a museum staff's name, Kubota, written in the crumpled paper in Manaka's hand.
**Conan also found the pen on the floor;
**The bloodied suit of armor was discovered in Kubota's locker.
**Conan noticed that the pen had its point retracted, the crumpled paper had inkless pen marks on it, and that the artwork tags were in the room, but the pieces weren't. Certainly, Kubota, who didn't seem to have a penchant for the arts, wouldn't have thought to protect those from being damaged.

* '''Conclusion'''
Manaka was scheduled to have a meeting with '''Ochiai''', the art museum director. Little did the owner know that the director already staged his death. Ochiai dressed himself with the suit of armor, strategically placed the tag with Kubota's name written on it and the pen with which Manaka apparently used to write the note, then murdered Manaka medieval style.

But the little eye of justice had tricks of his own. Conan pulled an "innocent" act of wanting the directions to the toilet be written by Ochiai. And before the director knew it, he drew the inkless pen from his pocket.

* '''Motive'''
In the hopes of getting the art museum to stay opened, the previous owner who got bankrupt sold the museum to Manaka. Manaka, however, was consumed by his own greed and planned to convert the building into a casino.

Ochiai was not going to let it happen as he considered the artworks as his own. He killed Manaka to prevent the inevitable.

And as for Kubota, Ochiai thought it just right to punish the person who had been selling art relics and pieces secretly.

=== Situation ===
During the night of the Tenkaichi Festival at the hotel, the author named Satoru Imatake is brushing his teeth in the bathroom and his friend named Norikazu Sasai is making a mess. When he checked what Sasai's doing, he's confused that Sasai dressed up weird and saw that the hotel room was a big mess. Sasai raises his gun to aim at Imatake's forehead and fired. He also took the rest of the money from his wallet.

He went out of the hotel room and fled out of the hotel. He throws away his gun, coat, and his glasses. He took the disposable camera out of his pocket.

While at the Tenkaichi Festival, Ran, Conan, and Kogoro are having a good time. Sasai just finally arrived at the festival while sweating. He found Ran and asked her to take a picture of him behind the background of the mountain that says, "Ichi" so Sasai gives the camera to Ran and Ran takes a picture. Sasai tells Ran that he's collecting an archive based on the theme, "Local Festivals" which is the photo that Ran took. Ran realizes that he's an author. Sasai also told Ran that he writes with the pen name, Tomokazu Imai. After Ran hears that, she got excited that she read about it while at junior high. Kogoro thinks it's strange because he mentions that name was used by Satoru Imatake when he made his debut. Sasai also told them that he's a friend of Imatake and he will drink in celebration for Imatake's Naomoto award. Suddenly, Sasai's sweating more because he's wearing a white jacket. After the conversation, Sasai asked Ran if she could take more pictures of him around the festival and Ran doesn't mind at all. While she's taking pictures of Sasai, the man just appeared behind Sasai. The man's name is Yokomizo, he's a policeman. He wants Sasai for questioning because Imatake's been murdered at the hotel where Sasai is staying.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
**Satoru Imatake's murderer was his long-time friend and colleague, Norikazu Sasai. He shot the unsuspecting victim point-blank and left the scene immediately after.
**Imatake was found dead with traces of toothpaste on his mouth and a toothbrush lying on the ground near him. His wallet was empty and the room was ransacked.
**Sasai was the primary suspect, but he had an alibi. In his disposable camera, there were pictures of him at the festival; and the festival events coincided with the time the killing took place.

* '''Conclusion'''
Conan, aiding Inspector Yokomizo through Kogoro Mouri, proved that it wasn't just a simple case of robbery and that '''Norikazu Sasai''' was indeed the killer.

Imatake was murdered while brushing his teeth, an act done without inhibitions in front of people whom a person is very familiar with. The bad condition of the room was evidence enough that the robbery was a setup, for the killer fled the scene right away after the gun was fired. And the pictures that were seemingly taken that night proving Sasai's innocence were actually taken from the past Tenkaichi festival. In the picture, his wrist was captured without its current watch tan line.

* '''Motive'''
Over a year ago, Sasai felt ridiculed when the more well-known writer Imatake's work was chosen to be published over his at the last minute. Imatake apparently became famous when he won an award for a book that they co-wrote, while Sasai wasn't credited for it.

Sasai planned the murder, so that he could take Imatake's place as top writer in the literary world.</spoiler>

<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
**There were marks on the front door lock of the Akagis' house indicating a forced entry.
**The shoe rack contained men's and children's shoes only.
**The way Ryoko rummaged through the cupboards was as if she didn't know where the utensils were.
**One of the rooms was trashed. A picture of a man and a boy confirmed that its occupant was a child named Mamoru Akagi and a man.
**The man who was with Mamoru in the picture was Hideo Akagi, the professional soccer player whom Ryoko was watching on TV.

* '''Conclusion'''
Conan knew that something was up because he didn't really know Ryoko. With the clues at hand, Conan pieced things together.

He immediately called Ryoko as Shinichi using the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and the [[Portable Bentou Box Fax]]. He confirmed that '''Mamoru was kidnapped'''. Mamoru was Hideo's older brother whom Hideo has been taking care of since their parents died two years ago. Hideo was ordered by the kidnapper to throw the game. Threatened that Mamoru would be hurt if the police was involved, Ryoko decided to pose as Shinichi's girlfriend.

When Ryoko came over to make breakfast, she found a letter left by the kidnapper and another which the kidnapper apparently made Mamoru wrote. Ryoko faxed Conan a ripped letter with the words: "Brother, resurrect me."

While trying to find more clues in Mamoru's room, Conan thought that it was just too messed up, even if the child retaliated. With further investigation, Conan found an empty game box called Onimaru Quest - a game where the hero has to be 'resurrected'. The main character in that game was named Mamoru. Another character in the game was named Naoki. Uemura Naoki was a soccer player who joined the Tokyo Spirits a year ago. He was also Hideo's good friend who lives nearby.

Conan deduced that Mamoru was with '''Naoki Uemura''' and that it was just made to look like it was a case of kidnapping. The note that Mamoru left must have been a part of the whole saying that he was going to Naoki's to have his character revived.

The group rushed to Naoki's place and sure enough, they found Mamoru there unharmed.

* '''Motive'''

Naoki envied Hideo because even though their skills were pretty much the same, Hideo was still more popular than he was. He came close to surpassing Hideo, but during one of their practices, Hideo accidentally injured his leg. Naoki thought that it was done on purpose so he wouldn't be able to play.

Naoki didn't plan to hurt Mamoru. He would send Mamoru home after the soccer finals and Naoki would disappear after getting back at Hideo.

=== Situation ===
Kogoro Mouri received a strange cut-and-paste letter from a client called Keiji Asou asking him investigate something on Tsukikage Island. He then found out that the man requesting for the investigation, Keiji Asou, 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 Asou caused the islanders to think the piano has been cursed.

*'''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|500px|thumb|right|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 drugs 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 Asou left sheet music in his safe to which it read: “To my son, Seiji”. Asou had a son who became ill when he was a child and had to be hospitalized.

*'''Conclusion'''

The person who knocked out Murasawa in the piano room was 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 of drugs 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 '''Dr. Narumi Asai''' and that she was, in fact, Asou's son, Seiji. 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. He stayed all night so that they'd make him last for questioning.

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

Seiji then committed suicide by dying like his father. Conan failed to stop him, but 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, and his family was murdered. Kawashima, Nishimoto, Kuroiwa, and Kameyama used Asou's international concerts as a front for their international drug trade. When Asou stated that he wouldn't cooperate any longer, they got scared that their secret might be exposed. This was all written in the sheet music that he left behind in the safe as his confession to his son. Seiji was hospitalized in Tokyo at the time of the murder.

Seiji went back to the island to avenge his family's death. When he told Kameyama that he was Asou's son, the late mayor was terrified and told him everything. He then had a heart attack. Seiji played the Moonlight Sonata that his father loved so much upon seeing the mayor dead.

=== Situation ===
A woman named Masami Hirota shows up at Kogoro's Detective Agency and asks him to find her father, Kenzou Hirota. She is reunited with her father when they located him in a horse racing track. The next day, Kenzou is found dead and Masami missing. Meanwhile, another detective is tracking Kenzou down for his client, Akira Hirota.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
**Masami had make-up on and looked mature when reunited with Kenzou
**Every night, Kenzou would run the same taxi route over and over, even without customers, and at high speed
**Judging from the bruises from Kenzou's neck, the killer was a large man
**Masami's glasses were found in the crime scene
**Because of Conan's tracking button believed to be in Masami's watch, Akira was found dead due to cyanide poisoning in the hotel

* '''Resolution'''
The Hirotas were the criminals involved in the '''1 Billion Yen Robbery Case'''. The route Kenzou drove at night was the practice route of the getaway. But Kenzou betrayed his partners, he ran and took the money for himself. In order to find him, his partners made '''fake identities''' - Masami and Akira. When found, Akira killed Kenzou and made it look like suicide. He broke his watch while doing so that's why Masami gave him hers. But the real mastermind of the 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case was '''Okita'''. The poison that killed Akira was originally intended for Masami.

* '''Motive'''
Okita planned to kill the three from the very beginning. Kenzou realized this so he ran away with the money.

{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
In the manga version of the story [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] are the masterminds of the case (rather than Okita), and they end up killing [[Akemi Miyano|Masami Hirota/Akemi Miyano]] who informs Conan of the organization's existence and that they dress in black. Her death is the motive of [[Shiho Miyano|Shiho Miyano's]] defection which leads to [[Ai Haibara|Ai Haibara's]] appearance later in the series. Furthermore, Shiho makes a silhouetted appearance when Akemi is demanding for herself and her sister to be free of the organization, which is also omitted. To repair the storyline, Episode 128 [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case]] was written with a similar ending to the manga version.

Conan finds a calculator under a small concrete block which he believes was left behind by the sniper. Kogoro, Ran and Conan, joined by the Detective Boys, find a stretch of road that mirrors the river used for the test. They call the police and find out that the sniper, Koichi Yamabe, and his girlfriend, Eri, were recently reported missing. However, while waiting for the criminals to arrive at the supposed sniping spot, Conan realizes that the numbers on the calculator, when read upside down, spell out a different message entirely.

* '''Evidence'''
**The sniper left behind a calculator with the numbers 3,135,134,162 on the screen.
**The sniper's test was held at about one o'clock in the afternoon.
**When Ran suggested that the numbers 162 might be a road, Kogoro declared that the shape of the river might be similar to the bends of the road for the sniping site.
**When Conan accidentally sees the numbers upside down, the numbers can be read as "291 Heisei E".

* '''Resolution'''
The sniper that Conan saw was '''Koichi Yamabe''', a police officer and former rifle marksman of Japan's Olympic team. He and his girlfriend, Eri, were abducted by the criminals while on vacation. The criminals held Eri hostage so that Koichi Yamabe would work for them.

When the criminals don't arrive at the site on Saitama Route 162, Conan and the Detective Boys try reexamining the code. As Mitsuhiko punches the numbers into his calculator, Conan accidentally sees that when upside down, the numbers can read as "291 Heisei E". The decoded message means the one o'clock train on February 9th of the Heisei Express train. The shape of the river turns out to mirror a double-curve in the train tracks of the Express. The criminals want Koichi to shoot someone inside the train and the balloon was just an accuracy test.

Conan sneaks into the helicopter taking Inspector Megure to the train line. Before Koichi can assassinate the target, Inspector Megure instructs the pilot to swoop down and distract the criminals. Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] to kick his helmet towards one criminal before he can shoot Koichi. Koichi is able to take down the remaining criminals and save Eri from harm.

* '''Motive'''
The criminals were former members of a gang whose leaders were caught in a sting operation last year. They wanted revenge on the district attorney who set up the operation, and planned to shoot him while he was on his way back from a vacation with his family.

They call the police, and [[Inspector Megure]] arrives with a squad to investigate. The elder brother, a rough and rude man, lets them into the house but then goes into a room while they search. The soft-spoken younger brother arrives soon after, but is cooperative with the police. However, despite a thorough examination of the entire house, no corpse is found.

Between when the kids saw the body and the police arrived, he cleaned the body and set it up in the room as if it were watching TV, then answered the door ''as'' his brother. After establishing the presence of Kazuyoshi, he went into the bedroom with corpse and climbed out into the nearby culvert using the tree, sneaking around to re-enter the house as himself. The TV that Kazuyoshi appeared to turn off at Tomofumi's request was set to turn off by timer, rather than remote, and Kazuyoshi's voice was simulated by Tomofumi's voice on the phone's answering machine, which Tomofumi dialed using the cell phone hidden in his pocket.

'''Motive'''

Kazuyoshi had been blackmailing Tomofumi to let him freeload there forever and be given more and more money whenever he wanted, or else he would reveal that Tomofumi had been illegally trading stocks. Tomofumi finally snapped at the frustration of being used by the elder brother he had once greatly admired, and killed Kazuyoshi.

<spoiler>
* '''Conclusion'''

Using his gadgets to use Kogoro, Conan reveals that the killer is '''Yuji Suwa'''.

While Suwa was fiddling with the answering machine to prove he wasn't the killer, with the last of his strength, Denjiro wrote Suwa's name on the drawers for a dying message to prove he was the killer. When Suwa noticed this, he shuffled the drawers then added a few more markings so it couldn't be recognized, and marked the rest of the room so it wouldn't stand out, to erased a dying message from the police's eyes.

Suwa then charged at Kogoro with a sword to kill him, but stopped just when the sword was about to hit deep into Kogoro's head. Suwa claims Kogoro must be very brave to just stay still in the face of death. After Suwa was arrested however, Kogoro finally wakes up and notices a tiny drip of blood on his head and freaks out.

* '''Motive'''

Suwa's family had an antique sword that was passed down from generation to generation, but Denjiro sold it. Suwa couldn't control his anger that Denjiro sold his family heirloom, so he gave him the kill.

=== Resolution ===

<spoiler>
Conan found out who the criminal was and put Sonoko to sleep. Through Sonoko, Conan explained that the criminal had actually but in the capsule they found floating in the drink and the poison in separately to make it look like the poison was but in 15 minutes before when it actually had been put in more recently. By looking at the video Ran took he showed that Sonoko had put her lemon tea right next the victim's and the criminal had put the poison in Sonoko's instead of the one the victim had been drinking. Proof of this was the fact that Sonoko's fingerprints were all over the can and 2 of the people that had touched the can did have their fingerprints on it.

The only 4 people that had been near the can after it was switch was Sonoko, Ran, Conan, and the groom, Toshihiko Takasugi. Sonoko and Ran had never touched the can after the switch and once they exclude Conan, Takasugi and the victim herself are the only people that could of poisoned the lemon tea. Then he explains how it couldn't of been the victim because there was no container to hold it in and drying agent found in the room. Those two things were needed to carry around sodium hydroxide, the poison used, because sodium hydroxide liquefies in a few minutes and the victim was in the room the whole time there would be no way to dispose of the container and drying agent outside in the hall where it was found. Therefore, the criminal was '''Toshihiko Takasugi'''.

The motive was that superintendent Matsumoto had crashed into a suspect's car 20 years ago, and Takasugi's mother and only direct relative got caught in the crash. Not seeing Takasugi's mom, Matsumoto told him to go away when he tried to tell him; 15 min later Takasugi's mom died on the street. Upon hearing this, Matsumoto admitted his share of guilt in the accident, but also added that once he learned about Takasugi's mother, he never forgave himself for inadvertedly killing her.

Takasugi was adopted by a rich family, and then destiny brought him back to Matsumoto and Sayuri. When he learned that his girlfriend was the superintendent's daughter, he was consumed by anger and bitterness, wanted to kill her to show the superintendent how much it hurt to lose someone he cared for. Kazumi Takenaka, however, slapped Takasugi and told him that Sayuri's first love was a boy who loved Lemon Tea andn never forgot him after he moved away for undisclosed reasons. Once Sayuri started dating Takasugi and noticed he also drank Lemon Tea, she deduced what had happened in the past... therefore she ''did'' know that Takasugi was her lost first love, knew what he wanted to do to her, and ''willingly'' took the poison to atone for all the pain that transformed Takasugi from a kind boy to an embittered adult.

Later they were told that Sayuri's surgery was a success and that she was going to recover soon... even to the relief of Takasugi himself, who had genuinely repented from what he had done. He was given a light sentence due to Sayuri telling the judge about how she drank his poison voluntarily; three years later, Sayuri and Takasugi rekindled their relationship, and they got married for real.

<spoiler>
The killer is '''Kazushi Nakamichi'''. He and Yumi had been dating for years yet Yumi refused his marriage proposals; however, as soon as he got engaged to the daughter of his boss, Yumi got so jealous that she started blackmailing Nakamishi with private photos that she threatened to send to his fiancée.

The school reunion was supposed to be the last time they'd see each other; Nakamishi took the photos from Yumi's purse, then shot her in the head (with the gun that had been missing in the bank robbing case, which he stole) so she wouldn't ruin his married life, and tricked everyone (except for Conan, and later Kogoro) into thinking that Yumi had commited suicide, taking also advantage of how Yumi had mentioned that she ''did'' want to kill herself due to depression and her really bad economic situation.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
Everything in the Okida household seems to be controlled by a computer, from accessing doors to the air-conditioning.

Conan comments that Okida sweated way too much during the night considering the house is set to maintain a specific cool temperature.

Conan's notices wilted flowers on a table and finds a receipt for the bouquet in the trash. The flowers were purchased the day before, so it doesn't make sense for the flowers to have already wilted so much. Examining the chocolates on the table Conan notes they have all melted into lumps.

Okida's sweat, flowers, and chocolates imply that the temperature control in the house changed the night when Okida died, but Aslan, the Himalayan cat, appears to be fine. According to what Ran heard from Tokito, cats like Aslan need to be in a relatively controlled temperature environment.

Miura explains to Conan that Tokito used to be a programmer for Okida until Tokito and a friend decided to set out and form their own company. The company however ended up being a failure and Okida "graciously" allowed Tokito to work for him again as his chauffeur.

Tokito seems enraged remembering a "certain man" who drove his business partner into committing suicide. Conan asks if the "certain man" is Okida, but Tokito doesn't answer.

Agasa confirms Conan's theory that someone could hack the Okida household to change the house's settings, but it would have to be done by someone really versed in programming.

When Conan visits Tokito's apartment he steps on an unusual "flake" thing. Upon returning to Agasa's house, he realizes he stepped on something else: a cat hair.

* '''Conclusion'''
Thanks to Agasa, Conan realizes that '''Tokito''' must've programmed Okida's computer system to heat up the house really quickly and then cause a sudden drop in temperature. This sudden change in temperature is what triggered Okida's heart attack.

The flakey object Conan stepped on in Tokito's apartment was actually a piece of cat litter. The cat hair on Conan's sock was also from Conan's visit to Tokito's apartment. To protect Aslan from being involved in his revenge scheme, Tokito took Aslan back to his apartment so the cat wouldn't get hurt.

* '''Motive'''
Tokito's motive for killing Okida was revenge for his business partner who committed suicide.

* The day of the crime (August 19th, 1996) is the same as the original airdate. This is indicated by the receipt that Conan finds in the trash bin.

During the phone call, an musical melody is heard from Kazumi's side. Souhei takes over the phone call and tells his wife he will call later and asks Conan and Ran to leave so he may talk with Kogoro. Kogoro returns telling Conan and Ran he took Souhei's request to spy on Kazumi and her affair. On the way home, they spot police cars in front of a house and decide to investigate.

He then went to the bottom floor, placed her body in the trunk and drove her home where he then placed her body in the bathtub. As evidence, Conan gives Megure a tape of the alarm clock in Tatsumi's guest room to compare with the recorded phone call. The alarm clock in the guest room is revealed to have a missing note and matches with the musical melody in the phone call.

'''TV Station Murder Case''' is the 31st episode of the '''[[Detective Conan]]''' [[anime]]. It first aired on September 2, 1996 and is based on Chapters [[Volume 11|102-104]] of the manga.

The idea for the original manga story came about when TV celebrity [[Takashi Matsuo]] asked [[Gosho Aoyama]] to write a ''Detective Conan'' story featuring himself as the murderer. Additionally, the producer victim is named after actual ''Detective Conan'' producer [[Michihiko Suwa]]. Matsuo provides his own voice in the episode.

=== Situation ===
The TV presenter Takashi Matsuo calls his colleague, Michihiko Suwa and tells him that he wants to meet him after the show in the conference room. Matsuo hangs a photo of himself and Suwa, throws it across the room, and shoots it with a gun.

Soon after the shipment is shown "Detective Agency", in which is always a special guest invited. This time it's Kogoro Mouri, who promptly pulls some pranks and the audience, among which there are also Conan and Ran, laugh. Kogoro brings the audience laugh by declaring that the use of mobile phones is even more dangerous, as they can be intercepted more easily than phones.

During the so-called "four-minute thrillers", Suwa's phone rings and Suwa answers. It's Matsuo and Matsuo tells Suwa that he will kill himself by jumping off the building. Suwa looks out the window by telling him to calm down but suddenly, the gunshot was heard.

After the four-minute thriller, Matsuo came back from the bathroom. Conan has solved the four-minute thriller now, while Ran is waiting for the resolution. It is now announced that the culprit has been the sister of the victim. As Ran herself would not have come to this solution. Later, the dead body of Michihiko Suwa is found.

}}

Soon after, Inspector Megure and the police arrived at the crime scene to investigate. The crime scene investigators discovered the first three bullets. Kogoro deduces that the offender may have come through the door. Conan realizes that the victim was on the phone shortly before his death with someone and interested in for the person who called him last. It turns out that it was the last caller, the wizard. Since Matsuo was briefly away during the live show, he comes now under suspicion. He tries to overcome by stating that he could never be within the four minutes come from the TV studio to the conference room. Then the police test it out how long it takes for the track. Kogoro made it in a time of 6 minutes and 41 seconds, so Megure demands that he tries again. The result remains the same: It is impossible to run during the four-minute thrillers from the studio into the conference room and back.

Meanwhile, Conan speculates that Matsuo could be the culprit, but lack of evidence. However, the staircase between the ninth and the seventh floor is not monitored by cameras. He also discovered a storage room, which is located directly above the window of the conference room. Conan, who wonders why the killer called the victim, if he is to have it faced directly, comes a new idea, and it checks whether there are some on the road under the stockroom bullet holes - and in fact, he discovered what he was looking for. Now it is clear how the killer has taken. So when Matsuo is called during the repetition, Conan has the evidence he needs.

=== Resolution ===

<spoiler>
Conan deceives Kogoro, puts him in the storage room, puts him to sleep with his stun gun wristwatch, borrows a paint gun, and staged a "Live Show" with the sleeping Kogoro appearing before the police on the screen.

In this way, he reconstructed the crime and prove his conclusions immediately: The culprit is '''Takashi Matsuo'''. Matsuo called Suwa, because he claimed to want to kill himself. Therefore, Suwa was leaning out the window of the conference room, to see it with his own eyes. Matsuo, who has been in a further floor above the storage room had, from the window just vertically shoot down because Suwa has learned far enough out of the window. Because the window can be tilted along a horizontal central axis, it is returned to the murder back to the starting position, so it looks as if the offender had shot from the front and not from above. That it was so, the bullet holes show on the road.

Conan reconstruct the crime by pretending to fall out the window. At that moment, hits Megure from the top to add a splash of color from the gun. While he was shooting from the storage room, Matsuo had not run up to the conference room could thus committing the murder during the four-minute thriller. The call log on the phone is the proof. Matsuo confesses to the murder.

In the end, when the case has completely cleared up, Kogoro wakes up so that Conan must flee.

{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}

[[Image:Sonoko Watching Television.jpg|thumb|right|270px|Sonoko's movie is interrupted by Kogoro's deduction show.]]
* In the manga, Michihiko Suwa is characterized as being far more self-centered and concerned with his career than in the anime. When Matsuo calls the producer claiming that he'll commit suicide by jumping from the television studio roof, he tells Suwa that he will be "going down" with him. Stating that he has listed all of Suwa's misdeeds in his will, Matsuo frightens the producer by insinuating that everything will be written in tomorrow's newspaper. Fearful for his own future, Suwa rushes to the window to try and convince Matsuo not to jump. In the anime, Matsuo does not make such threats, and Suwa runs to the window out of concern for Matsuo's life as opposed to his career being ruined.
* In the manga, when [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s deduction show is televised outside of the Nichiuri Television Studio for the public's viewing, more time is spent showing people's reactions to the broadcast than in the anime. One such scene that was entirely omitted involved [[Sonoko Suzuki]]. While watching a movie, her mother tells her to go to bed as it's getting late. Just as Sonoko asks if she can stay up a bit longer, her movie is interrupted by a news bulletin concerning the death of Michihiko. When the screen switches to Kogoro's deduction, Sonoko's facial expression of confusion turns to complete shock.

<spoiler>
The killer was '''Juzo Tonoyama''', and Yayoi was "the other woman" in his marriage. She apparently didn't know that Tonoyama was a married man so she angrily started to demand for marriage, and he decided to kill her before his wife found out she was cheated on. In his anger, Tonoyama attacked Eri but she used judo to pin him down, which allows the police to catch him.

After that, Conan uses his child-like looks to try force Wakaoji reveal that he wanted to have sex with the girl he was waiting for, thinking said girl was Ran. To his surprise, it wasn't Ran... but it ''was'' someone they knew: Sonoko, who angrily calls him out. Conan is confused, and then Ran and Eri meet up. Eri lectures Ran on her too short miniskirt and she calls her "mom", sending Conan into a shock.

==== Part 1 ====
Conan and Ran visit Sonoko's mountain villa to see the autumn leaves and meet up with some old friends. 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. Everything seems fine as Ran tries to find her room, accidentally walking in on the boys of the house. When everyone is asked about the bandaged man he is brushed off as possibly a crazy man with nothing better to do. However he is taken far more seriously when later one of the girls is seen being carried off by him from the windows, the boys give chase and find her dismembered body in the woods.

| description = The boys are after the bandaged man when they saw him carrying Chikako's body from outside. While they're in the woods, Ryoichi got freaked out when he found Chikako's arm. When Hiroki found Chikako, he raised her body, but her head falls apart. Now Hiroki screams!
}}
He had previously attacked Ran in the woods earlier, but ran off when Conan gave chase. Everyone panics and decides that it's best to go to bed for the night, when he strikes again, this time trying to kill Ran in her sleep. Conan kicks Ran out of the way, using his bow-tie to wake her up, she freezes up as Conan grabs for him, but he is thrown against the bed, twisting his ankle. The bandaged man quickly makes a hasty retreat, leaving Conan to wonder why he is targeting Ran.

==== Part 2 ====
Everyone decides to stay up for the night and keep together to throw off the murderous man in bandages.
Conan suspects that Ran saw something that made her a target for the bandaged man, and the culprit is one of the people staying there.
The rush for remembrance is on as Conan desperately tries to solve the mystery before the bandaged man strikes again.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Using Sonoko's persona to express his thoughts, Conan unravels the whole mystery of the murder and attempted murder. Revealing the heavier set of the men was not really heavy set! Ran saw this when she walked in on him, making her a target to cover his tracks (he hid part of the body under himself so that Conan would not think that the medium builded bandaged man was him).

The culprit is '''Ryoichi Takahashi'''. Takahashi tries to explain that Chikako Ikeda deserved her horrible death, as she stole the manuscript of her friend Atsuko's book and turned it into her own movie, causing poor Atsuko (whom he was in love with) to commit suicide. After he tries to explain why it was noble to do this, Conan (as Sonoko) tells him that trying to kill Ran was never noble and that it was not something someone valiant would do. Realizing his mistake, the man falls to the ground in sorrow and regret for what he has done as the sun comes out, ridding them of the horrors of that cold night.
</spoiler>

==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.
*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]]''.

=== Resolution ===

<spoiler>
The killer was '''Takashi Ichieda'''. Two years ago Mrs. Yone's granddaughter, Yaeko, died by drowning when she went searching for Reika and Nikaido, who were stranded in a small isle in the sea. It turned out they took her swimming supplies and left her to die; Ichieda noticed the odd situation when Yaeko's body was found and asked them about it, but they denied everything and said they had not even seen Yaeko.

Ichieda, who actually was in love with Yaeko, kept his bad feelings to himself until Reika's 24th birthday. After isolating the group in the mansion, he first kidnapped Reika and kept her hostage in one of the bathrooms, bound and gagged inside a covered bath tub, getting everything ready so she would slowly drown. Then he confronted Nikaido, and when he admitted his share of guilt, Ichieda drowned him outside with his own hands and left his lifeless body there. The attack on Ran wasn't intended to be fatal; he only needed a witness to throw suspicions off himself, making everyone believe that the assassin was an outside. Few later, a still kidnapped Reika drowned in the tub, and Ichieda pulled her lifeless body and left it next to said tub for everyone to find.

The killer is '''Mari Terahara''', the manager.

Mari killed Kimura because he turned psychologically abusive to her after she had a nose job. It turns out that not only he liked her better when she was just a sweet girl next door, but that he was psychologically broken after finding out that Mari had specifically gotten plastic surgery to please him, which he could never forgive her and himself for.

Kimura decided to punish both of them by abusing her, while he secretly wrote a love song for Mari which would have been his first single; however, his taunting went so far that Mari was completely embittered, and then decided to have revenge by killing him.

==Manga to anime changes==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
*This episode takes place right after [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]], 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 scene as a whole was used at the end of the Mountain Villa Bandaged Murder Case episode.
*The manga reveals that Tatsuya was rude to his band, because he didn't want them to miss him after he left.
*The anime ends with Ran receiving her present, whereas the manga ends with her trying to find Shinichi (while Conan is shown, nervously hiding). The scene as it appeared in the anime was used for the ending of the ''Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case''.

== Remastered version ==
On October 22, 2011, a remastered version of the case was aired.

== Trivia ==
*Despite his face not being shown on-screen, this marks the first time [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] is listed in the ending credits. He's the inspector that brings the box of Tatsuya's items to Inspector Megure.

After realizing that Conan's parents have not contacted them (Kogoro and Ran Mouri) for a long stretch of time, Ran asks when his parents will be returning from overseas. Suddenly, a woman by the name of Fumiyo Edogawa enters the Mouri Detective Agency and admits to the group that she is Conan's mother and wishes to take Conan home. Soon after, Conan revels on the idea and absolute truth that this person is indeed not his mother, as Conan does not really exist, and begins to grow anxious. Worrying that she might harm his new found "family", he goes along with Fumiyo, planning to get away and figure out the mess he's gotten himself into.

The woman is really Shinichi's mother, Yukiko Kudo. The man is Yusaku Kudo and had disguised as one of his own novel characters, the Night Baron. The tall man was Professor Agasa who had worn a special suit to make him look taller. Yusaku created this scenario to test Shinichi's detective skills. Shinichi's parents are worried about him and want Shinichi to realize the danger of hunting the Black Organization. They also want Shinichi to go with them to America and have Interpol or another professional law enforcement try to find the Black Organization instead. Shinichi refuses because he wants to stay near Ran and look for the Black Organization too. Then Yukiko (in disguise as Fumiyo) gave 10 million yen to Kogoro to offset Conan's freeloading.

The killer was... none of the Hottas. It was '''Masahiro Yamauchi''', whose son was a deceased piano player. When he and Fumiko got in a relationship and Hotta Sr. objected, they tried to convince him otherwise, but in reply Hotta broke the younger Yamauchi's hand which left him unable to play anymore. The younger Yamauchi fell into despair and killed himself by driving into a nearby cliff. His father then became the family butler only to get revenge, preparing the bomb that killed Hotta Sr..

Yamauchi had also planned to kill Fumiko by tampering with her car, mistakenly thinking that she had rejected his son after the incident. In reality, Fumiko was very traumatised as well: she showed it by dressing in black like a widow and wearing a pendant with a photo of her lost love. Fortunately, Yamauchi's trap failed and she returned to the mansion, making Yamauchi break down in tears for misjudging her.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
The killer was '''Kaori Nakahara'''. It was find out that she bought a large number of various snacks in advance in the afternoon when she went to go buy ingredients for the hot pot they had for dinner. Before the crime, she took everyone's order and pretended to drive away, then parked the car a short distance away and took out everything that was on the list. By doing this she created an alibi so you she could go kill Oyama. The evidence were in the room that shows Kaori is the murderer it was,in the table. The blood suddenly stops, and it was revealed that it was in the tablecloth, Kogoro told them to place the tablecloth on the table so that the blood stains match. The dying message of Oyama left behind, he then recalls that Oyama died on his knees then said it now becomes quite obvious that their names have the same kanji as the pieces in shogi, and it was find out that Oyama always said that if he had a horse then he'd have it all. He then said that their names represent every piece, except for the knight, then told Ran to get the lighter that's on the sofa and put it on the tablecloth, the deduction continues that there's only one place where the bloodstains on the lighter and tablecloth match, then it shows that it was the rook. In other words, this dying message points to the person with the same kanji as the rook- Kaori Nakahara, then he reveals that she is the one who knocked the tablecloth off, then he reveals that the blood on the table suddenly stops, there's no blood on the sofa that the lighter was on. This proves that it was moved after the blood had completely dried. In other words, the murderer returned to to the scene of the crime and realized the message. The last is the unlucky thing for her was that she realized the message after she screamed.

Kaori confesses that she respected Oyama as a father, that's why she couldn't forgive him for stealing her thesis, Ginji reveals that it was about "The Development of Genetic Treatment for Intestinal Cancer". She then reveals that the thesis Oyama stole, it was the thesis that she put all her passion into for the past six years. The reason she write the thesis was for her father, who passed away because of intestinal cancer when she was young. The reason she became a doctor is that she devoted herself to that research was so that no other people would go through what her father did. She reveals that that's not the only motive she kill Oyama but not only he stole her thesis that she finally completed that Oyama also said, "It's no use! No one would believe that this thesis is yours now. And with me releasing that thesis, the scientific community is more likely to pay attention to it. That would make your dead father so happy." And laughed loudly. That was when she came with this plan, since that man stepped all over her father's memories. That's why she decided to open up holes in his lungs and make him die from one of the most excruciating deaths possible. But she then said to Kogoro that he made one mistake, she actually predicted someone would order salad and ice cream, salad was sold out, but she bought ice cream but it melted inside her car's heater.

<spoiler>
After putting Kogoro to sleep on the diving tower, Conan tells Ran to bring Inspector Megure into the pool area, for he has solved the case! After Megure and his men are brought back into the pool area, Kogoro (Conan) reveals to them that Naoya Saijo's death was murder, not an accident. He mentions that the murderer first knocked Naoya out and dressed him up in swim clothes and ear plugs. However, the earplugs were not the same ones that Naoya had when Conan first saw him. He then points out that a swimming cap was used to disguise that fact that there was no blood or hair found on the diving board. This leads him to reveal that Naoya was killed poolside and the swimming cap was just a ruse. Lastly, he mentions that the old man was unwillingly used as witness for the murder. He could attest that he saw someone diving, as he viewed the building from his apartment at the same time every night. However, the old man never saw who it was exactly due to the lights being turned off, but it was the culprit that took the dive. Kogoro (Conan) then points to '''Hisashi Kijima''' as the murderer, due the fact that he was a speed swimmer, who all wore swimming caps. Kogoro's (Conan's) evidence to seal the case is that the old man drew the sparkle from Hisashi Kijima's earring.
Hisashi reveals that his motive was Naoya blackmailing him for Hisashi's drunk driving accident that led to the injury of Hisashi's girlfriend.

<spoiler>
Young '''Shunen''' is the killer... as well as the younger brother of the deceased monk Chunen. Some time ago Chunen was in love with Tenei's granddaughter Kikuno, who not only was the heiress to the temple but had just accepted to marry another Buddhist monk from a very important monastery. Tenei was so upset at such an affair, that when he learned that Chunen and Kikuno were about to elope, he killed Chunen using exactly the same trick that Shunen later used on him (which is described below), managing to strangle the guy and then set the scene in such a way that it looked like a perfect killing by the Mist Goblin.

Shunen was always suspicious of Tenei and the other monks, so he hid his identity and entered the monastery to gain their trust and learn what had happened to his brother. He spent six months quietly snooping around, managing to more or less figure out how the murder was commited, but not the identity of the killer.

Shunen confronted Tenei right after the Mouris and Conan had gone to bed, having noticed how he had openly spoken about the Chunen incident when prior to that no one had ever menttioned it; under the effects of alcohol, Tenei told Shunen everything. The young novice begged his superior to turn himself in, but Tenei refused and said he'd rather let everyone think the Mist Goblin took Chunen's life, since such a "mystery" had let him raise the fame of the monstery. Shunen then lost it and used his newfound knowledge to kill Tenei in the same way Chunen died: he grabbed a rope, wrapped it around Tenei's neck, and pulled it as if he was carrying a heavy bag on his back (the "bag being, of course, Tenei).

After recovering his senses and seeing that he had murdered Tenei, Shunnen decided to use the same tricks Tenei used on Chunen to throw suspicions off him: placing the body in a lifeboat, using the nearby cascade water to slowly fill up the room, hanging Tenei's body from the ceiling, and then breaking the wooden wall.

===Resolution===
<spoiler>
Conan knocks Kogoro out and uses his voice changing bow tie to reveal what had happened. Conan reveals that Tequila and Hideaki Nakajima, one of the game designers, secretly exchanged suitcases. Conan reveals that the bomber is game designer '''Hironobu Takeshita''' and that Nakajima was his intended target. As evidence, Conan reveals that Nakajima's suitcase's key would fit into the suitcase Takeshita is holding since that is originally Nakajima's suitcase. Takeshita confesses and denounces Nakajima for having an affair with his wife. Conan asks Nakajima what he knows about Tequila's acquaintances only to learn that he always meets them in the cafe in the Apollo building. Conan heads there only to find out Gin and Vodka had cause an explosion to hide evidence of them being there.
</spoiler>

==Continuity error==
By the time that this story was told in the manga, Conan had a second encounter with [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] (learning their names in the process), as well as learning about the [[Black Organization|organization]]. In the anime, however, [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]] and [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]] omitted ties to The Organization and it's members. Thus Conan at this point in the anime shouldn't know the names of the men who shrank him, or their organization.
==Dub error==
Conan upon hearing Kogoro mentioning having some Gin and Vodka, recalls that [[Heiji Hattori]] telling him that the two men in black who he met went by the name of Gin and Vodka. In the Japanese Version, he merely recalls that those were the two men responsible for his condition.

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

=== Situation ===
As Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are on their way home from a hot spring, they boarded a train together with a pair of doctors. They arrived at a station where one may change trains to another line, but no one could possibly change trains since the two lines are scheduled differently by a mere five-minute difference. At the station where the trio are to change trains to one going to Tokyo, a murder is discovered. The only suspect rides in the train with Conan's group while the victim rides on a train from a different line.

<spoiler>
'''Hideyuki Nakayama''' is the killer...he put the favorite instrument of the victim in the ground and he placed the truck in front of the murder scene so he would see the reflection of the victim using his binoculars and he would know when to let go the metals above that would cause the victim's death. Conan found out because of the camera installed by Nakayama's company in the rooftop.
