=== 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.

* '''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.

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.

== Manga characters pictures ==

Hi,

While it is kind of you to upload these pictures for the characters in volumes 19 to 21, please follow the [[Detective_Conan_Wiki:Manual_of_Style|Manual of style]] by adding only square pictures. Moreover, try to find better scans for some of them (for example, the Edward Crowe one), if possible with no text in it.

Thanks for your work,

[[User:Maxdefolsch|Maxdefolsch]] ([[User talk:Maxdefolsch|talk]]) 02:56, 10 August 2013 (PDT)
:Hi YuanataIvander! I have re-uploaded those manga images into square shape with recommended image size and higher scan quality. I've also removed the texts from the speech bubbles. Some of the images are incorrectly flipped because they're scanned from mangas with left-to-right reading order, likely in some Asian countries (versus right-to-left in the original Japanese version), and I've also fixed that too. Thanks so much for your hard works by the way! --- [[User:Black Demon|<font color="#000000">'''BLACK DEMON'''</font>]] | [[User talk:Black Demon|<font color="#FF0000">'''Reply'''</font>]] 06:54, 11 August 2013 (PDT)

== Spoiler boxes in episodes and [[List of Situation Case on Season 1]] ==

Hey, I noticed you removed pretty much all the spoiler boxes from a few episode pages. Please don't do that. In general all the pages have [[Detective Conan Wiki:Manual of Style|a standard style and format]] that we use and making changes to something that important which is used for 100s of pages needs approval from others first. Anime episode pages are anime spoiler safe, meaning the solutions to cases and people who appear as part of the solution to cases are listed in the spoiler box.

Second, what is the purpose of this page [[List of Situation Case on Season 1]]? It doesn't seem to be useful for anything.

:Like I said before, do not put case resolution spoilers outside the spoiler boxed resolution section, like you did in these two edits [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Special_Volume_10&curid=3122&diff=102048&oldid=92891&rcid=102579] [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Ski_Lodge_Murder_Case&curid=299&diff=102047&oldid=96320&rcid=102578] that were reverted. It's part of the manual of style that we follow here. It's problematic that you are still making these kind of edits. The fact that you haven't responded is worrisome, I can't tell if you actually got or understood these messages. Either way though, if this happens again, I'm going to have to start giving warnings, which could eventually lead to banning. I'd rather not have that happen because it's not friendly and you seem to be editing in good faith; however, it's the only thing I can do to stop continuing problems if you don't respond.

::Please consider this your first official warning on putting spoilers outside of the resolution section in anime episodes. If you want to avoid future warnings, please familiarize yourself with the manual of style and examine a few pages to see how we do things normally. I would prefer not to have to take further action.

=== File 010 - An Advantageous Shadow ===
To keep [[Conan]]'s cover as a child, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] enrolls Conan in 1st grade at [[Teitan Elementary School]]. Bored by the simple curriculum, during P.E. Conan decides to test the new gadget Agasa gave to him earlier (the Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes), using moderate power while playing soccer. To his and his classmates shock, the soccer ball shoots through the goal net and knocks over a large tree. On his way home, grumbling to himself about Agasa's lack of moderation, Conan notices [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] shadowing someone.

After 3 days of easy work, Kogoro receives payment of 500,000 yen. [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] wonders if Conan has brought them good luck, and when Kogoro asks how long Conan is going to be staying, explains that Agasa told her that Conan's parents are out of the hospital but left overseas on urgent business. Kogoro also finds Conan's face oddly familiar, but his train of thought is interrupted by a news report that Masaki Negishi, the man Kogoro had been following, was found murdered at the fire festival in Akaoni Village.

=== File 011 - A Perfect Alibi ===
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan go to the police station, where they find [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] questioning Yutaka Abe, the man who hired Kogoro to tail Masaki. He received 500 million yen as the beneficiary of Masaki's life insurance policy. He said that he hired Kogoro because Masaki had been worried about his life being in danger. Although Yutaku is the primary suspect for the murder, he has a perfect alibi - being out of the country when Masaki was found dead. Kogoro swears to expose Yutaka because Kogoro can't stand to be used as part of a killer's alibi, and they return home to examine the photos of Yutaku's trip and those photos Kogoro took while tailing Masaki. As he does, Kogoro grows suspicious of Conan's conveniently helpful innocent comments, but Conan distracts him by 'childishly' mixing the two photo batches together. With Kogoro distracted, Conan looks for a hint to break Yutaka's too-perfect alibi, and notices something about one of the photos.

=== File 012 - The Picture Speaks ===
Conan finds a discrepancy between some of the photos, but can't tell Kogoro without being suspicious. To solve the case, since Yutaka plans to pay off his company's debts and leave the country that night, Conan uses the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] to summon Kogoro and the police to Narita Airport.

<spoiler>
While they figure out that neither of them actually cracked the alibi, Conan confronts Yutaka alone and explains how Yutaka faked the alibi: Kogoro started following Masaki on Monday. Tuesday night, Yutaka murdered Masaki, but hired an impersonator to pretend to be Masaki through Thursday, when Masaki's body was found. When Yutaka returned on Friday from his three-day trip with photos suspiciously full of clocks he had an alibi that appeared solid, except for one thing:
* The photos of Masaki on Monday and Tuesday show him as a right-handed person, while on Wednesday the fake Masaki was left-handed.

Because Conan is only a child, Yutaka admits to the truth but believes no one will believe Conan, until Conan reveals that he recorded the confession. Yutaka snaps at having been tricked, and Conan uses his shoes and a spare tire to leave Yutaka unconscious in the parking lot with the tape recorder playing. Kogoro and the police find him like that while Conan hides nearby. The next day, Kogoro mentions that Yutaka claimed he was beaten by a kid, and Conan is the closest child around... but Ran, seeing Conan asleep on the desk with the kid's TV show [[Yaiba]] playing, says it's impossible.

=== File 013 - The Missing Man ===
[[File:Volume 2 File 013.jpg|125px|thumb|right|Masami Hirota]]
While [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] fiddles with [[Conan]]'s glasses, Conan reads the newspaper headline of a 10 billion yen bank robbery and comments on the never-ending stream of crime — which, when Conan solves any, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] gets the credit for. After receiving the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses]] from Agasa, Conan returns to the Agency to find Masami Hirota begging Kogoro to find her father, Kenzou. Uninterested in searches, Conan decides to test his tracker-sticker on [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], but slips and accidentally puts it on Masami's watch. Ran and Kogoro assure Masami that they will find her father quickly, but only after a week has gone by does Conan realize that Kenzou named his four cats after a racehorse. Ran sees Conan's notes and convinces Kogoro to go to the racetrack, where they find Kenzou. Masami comes immediately at the news, though Conan notices she looks more grown-up than before. As they leave the two to their reunion, Conan sees a suspicious man watching them... and later that night, Kenzou hangs from a noose, dead.
{{clearleft}}

=== File 014 - The Sad Girl ===
When Ran can't reach Masami Hirota to ask how everything turned out, her bad feeling prompts Kogoro to take them back to the apartment where they found Kenzou Hirota — where they hear that Kenzou was found dead the night before. Kogoro learns from [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] that evidence suggests a near-giant of a man was the murderer, and no sign of Masami was found besides her glasses. As Kogoro tries to console Ran that Masami may not be dead, Conan suddenly remembers the tracker he put on Masami's watch, and goes off alone to find her. Just after he reaches the tracker's location, a Pachinko parlor, he runs into a giant man and is knocked of his feet. The glasses' batteries run out before he can recover and try to pinpoint Masami's location further. After a failed search, he returns home. Ran looks out the windows as she worries about Masami, and notices a tall, suspicious man who was following them the day before. Assuming he murdered Kenzou, Ran jumps out the second story window, chases the man to his car, and kicks out the window glass to apprehend him — only to learn that the man is also a private detective, who had been hired to find Kenzou by the giant man Conan encountered at the Pachinko parlor.

=== File 015 - Follow the Giant! ===
[[File:Volume 2 File 015.jpg|175px|thumb|right|Holmes's ideals]]
As the suspicious detective explains himself, it comes to light that Masami and the giant man both claimed to be Kenzou's only living relative, each with different histories. The giant claimed to be Akira Hirota, younger brother. Another suspicious point is that Kenzou used to drive a particular route every night, without passengers, at reckless speeds. When Akira's great height is mentioned, Kogoro agrees with the detective's suspicions that Akira murdered Kenzou, but the contact addresses were all fakes and so there are no leads. Conan confirms to himself that Akira was the man at the pachinko parlor, but before he can track Akira down he must get Agasa to recharge the tracker's battery. Agasa warns Conan about the dangers, and about how a bank guard and now Kenzou are both dead, and uses Holmes's ideals to convince Conan to take Kogoro as backup.

Telling Kogoro that he found Akira's hiding place on the way home from school, rather than that he's directing the taxi via his glasses, Conan brings Ran, Kogoro and the other detective to the tracker's location, a hotel. After acquiring Akira's room number, their use of the elevator is postponed by a woman with a cart of multiple stacked suitcases that spill as she tries to move forward. By the time they reach the room, they find it has been left unlocked, and Akira is dead from potassium cyanide in his drink. Kogoro calls Inspector Megure about Akira's corpse before they can continue searching for Masami, dead or alive. Conan inspects the drink, the pile of empty briefcases haphazardly stacked nearby, and realizes how they connect to the contradictory stories, Kenzou's the erratic taxi driving, and Megure's news that Kenzou was a bachelor with no children.
{{clear}}

=== File 016 - A Devil-like Woman ===
<spoiler>
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|150px|thumb|right|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]
Conan concludes from the above evidence that Kenzou, Akira, and Masami are the 10 billion yen bank robbers; after Akira killed Kenzou, Masami must have killed Akira and then left with the money. Confirming that Akira's death was recent, Conan remembers the woman on the elevator, who had the right number of similarly shaped cases and looked similar to Masami. Conan races in pursuit, followed by Ran, who gets them a taxi to follow Masami's taxi from the hotel to the docks. As they go, Conan mentally berates himself for not having realized that Masami's oddly grown-up look indicated a rushed disguise, and Kenzou's shock was at being found by the partners he'd back-stabbed. Ran and Conan lose Masami at the docks, but continue looking desperately.

Meanwhile, Masami meets with Gin and Vodka, who call her Akemi Miyano. She asks why the "sleeping pills" she'd been given to dose Akira with apparently killed him, to which Gin replies that such is their way and then asks where the money is. Akemi refuses to reveal the location without them giving up her sister, since she'd done the job on the condition that the two of them could leave after. Gin answers that her sister, as a "top brain" in the organization, is too indispensable to have ever considered giving up. Akemi refuses Gin offer of one last chance to reveal the money cache.

Conan and Ran catch up to Akemi just as she falls from being shot, with the only evidence that anyone else had been present is the gun on the ground nearby. Ran goes to call the ambulance and the police and guide them back to the scene, leaving Conan trying to save Akemi until he silently realizes from the sheer amount of blood on his hands that it's too late. As a result, when Akemi recognizes him and asks how he knew where she was, he tells her the truth of the transmitter and his deduction. He answers her shocked inquiry about his identity with the truth of Shinichi Kudo, as well, and she tells him about how the [[Black Organization|organization]] behind her death wears black, like crows. With her last words, she tells Conan where to find the money and begs him to retrieve it before the organization can get it. She dies just as Ran returns with help; only her fingerprints are found on the gun, and after the money is recovered the police conclude that she killed herself from the guilt of her apparent crimes. Conan is the only one who knows otherwise, and he swears to someday pull the men in black out of the darkness.

=== File 017 - The Scary Building ===
At school, Conan's classmate Ayumi invites him to go ghost-hunting with her and Genta at a supposedly haunted mansion. While both Conan and another classmate, Mitsuhiko, express skepticism at the existence of ghosts, they end up coming along. At the mansion, Genta reveals a hidden entrance that gives the access to a door, which is unlocked. Ayumi has second thoughts due to the dark interior and onset of rain, until thunder scares her to run inside. She trips and gets dirty from the dust, but is able to clean up in a nearby bathroom. While exploring, a door seems to open on its own, but it turns out to be due to an open window. Mitsuhiko goes to use the bathroom, and after hearing a strange noise forces himself to be brave and investigate. He discovers stairs leading down to the basement, and follows the sounds to a well-lit room. Upstairs, the other three hear Mitsuhiko scream and rush to investigate.

=== File 018 - The Disappearing Children ===
Conan orders Genta and Ayumi to hide while he investigates. While he doesn't tell them, he's certain that the house is still being used for some reason due to:
* The existence of the secluded secret entrance,
* The water still being turned on after five years, and
* The window being open without evidence of wind or rain damage within the room.
While waiting for Conan, Genta and Ayumi eat nearly all of the snacks Ayumi brought. Genta remains hungry, however, so when he notices the scent of food he disregards Conan's orders and goes to investigate. Meanwhile, Conan finds a picture of the previous inhabitants — the owner who died, and the wife and son who purportedly moved away — but Genta screaming interrupts his musings. Ayumi also leaves the room to try to find Genta, but realized that the shadow approaching from around the corner that she thought belonged to him is too big; as she panics over who is coming, Conan grabs her from behind and pulls her into a small alcove in the hall. A shadowy woman with a candelabra and a cart passes by, but disappears into an apparent dead-end. Conan finds a handle for a trap-door in the floor, and uses the invention Agasa recently gave him, the [[Elasticity Suspenders]], to create the necessarily leverage to open it since he's not strong enough on his own. Conan and Ayumi descend the stairs and find a cell with a feral-looking man inside, only to realize they're trapped in the small area outside the cell because someone is coming down the stairs they just used.

=== File 019 - The Underground Room's Nightmare ===
Conan and Ayumi manage to hide behind the small cupboard outside the cell, and watch a woman enter with a tray of food. She tries to comfort the apparently haunted prisoner that the subject of his nightmares was over five years ago, and the dead don't come back.
<spoiler>
Conan realizes that the man and woman are the wife and son of the deceased mansion owner. She tells her son she keeps him locked up for his own good, right before Conan and Ayumi accidentally give their presence away. She mentions that she found two other "little rats" and takes a knife to corner them, but Conan confidently confronts her about the truth, using the mole under her son's eye as evidence that the man in the cell is the same as the young man in the picture Conan found. He concludes that since she locked her son up to protect him, that the son is wracked with guilt over killing his father, but she doesn't want him to be a convict and won't let him turn himself in.

The woman nearly stabs Conan, but her son begs her to stop and confesses to Conan that he did kill his father in a rage after he failed university exams three times in a row and his father called him scum. He wishes to atone, and Conan convinces her that unless she allows that to happen, while they might escape the police, they will never be able to escape the guilt of the crime — and she'll be forcing her son to carry that guilt for the rest of his life. The woman relents, and the next morning they turn themselves in to the police, Mitsuhiko and Genta are found safely sleeping outside the house, and all four kids are scolded. However, not long after, the three kids invite Conan to explore another spooky house. As the kids talk more about it, Conan realizes the house is actually the now-empty Kudou home.

=== File 001 - The Heisei Holmes ===
[[File:Volume 1 File 001.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Shinichi names the culprit]]
At a party in a mansion, high school detective Shinichi Kudo solves the murder of the host's wife for Inspector Megure: the wheelchair-bound host is the killer and his broken leg healed weeks ago. The next day, the newspapers and TV reporters proclaim Shinichi's latest success, but his childhood friend Ran Mouri is upset at him for once again taking business away from her father, a private detective. She reminds him of his promise to take her to [[Tropical Land]], since she won her karate tournament.

When they go, Shinichi spends a lot of time talking about his idol, [[Sherlock Holmes]], and even deduces that a woman in line with them for a roller coaster is a gymnast using Holmes's classic observation style. This focus on Holmes upsets Ran a little, as she was looking forward to a day with ''just'' Shinichi. On the roller coaster, a man named Kishida is mysteriously beheaded in the tunnel. The suspects are the victim's girlfriend Aiko, their friends Hitomi (the gymnast) and Hitomi's friend, and two mysterious men in black. After Inspector Megure and the police arrive, they discover a bloody knife in Aiko's bag and arrest her.

<spoiler>
However, Shinichi explains that a woman wouldn't have the strength to decapitate someone with just a knife. He then explains that the killer used an object like a purse or a backpack to escape the ride restraints and wrap a wire around the victim's head while in the darkness of the Mystery Coaster's tunnel. After tying the wire around the victim's head the killer tossed a hook attached to the other end onto the roller coaster's track, beheading the victim using the coaster's speed and movement.

Shinichi concludes the murderer is '''Hitomi''', as her expertise as a gymnast makes this feat possible. Shinichi proves her guilt through two crucial pieces of evidence:
# Hitomi's pearl necklace (the murder weapon) is missing after the end of the ride.
# Hitomi has a tear-trail on her face that runs horizontally, which is impossible unless she were crying during the course of the ride.

Hitomi breaks down and admits that Kishida was her boyfriend in college, but he dumped her for Aiko, so she decided to kill him at the same place where they had their first date.
</spoiler>

While consoling Ran, who was upset by the crime, Shinichi sees one of the men in black run by and decides to follow him. He tells Ran to go home without him and Ran has a strange feeling she will never see him again, but cannot run after him because her shoelace breaks. Shinichi spies on the man in black making a blackmail transaction with a company president. With Shinichi distracted by the scene, the other man in black hits him from behind and knocks him nearly unconscious. Many cops remain in the area, so the men in black force-feed Shinichi a [[APTX4869|"new poison"]] that purportedly leaves no trace behind in the body to provide a cause of death. After they depart, Shinichi's body begins to steam and feel like it's burning; his last thought before finally losing consciousness is of Ran. When he awakens, he has been found by park security guards who refer to him as a "boy". The last panel reveals that Shinichi now has the body of a 6 year old.

=== File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small ===
[[File:Volume 1 File 002.jpg|175px|thumb|right|Ran finds Conan]]
Unaware of his condition, Shinichi tries to explain to the security guards the events he witnessed but they dismiss it as an over-active imagination. Shinichi then sees himself in a mirror and realizes his body has shrunk. He escapes from the guards and heads home, where he runs into his neighbor and family friend Professor Agasa. Naturally, Agasa does not believe the child's claim that he is Shinichi Kudo, but when Shinichi correctly deduces that Agasa had just run home from a restaurant, Agasa realizes the truth. Inside his house's library, Shinichi dons his old elementary school uniform and discusses the situation with Agasa. Shinichi asks him to make an antidote, but Agasa cannot without knowing the ingredients to the poison. As Agasa insists that Shinichi keep his identity secret for fear of the men in black realizing he is alive — and coming to kill him and anyone he may have told about them — Ran arrives in search of him.

Agasa stalls Ran as Shinichi hides behind a desk and turns his father's old glasses into a makeshift disguise. When she discovers him, she finds him adorable and asks his name. Shinichi panics, looks at the nearby books, and answers '''Conan Edogawa''', from [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''Conan''' Doyle]] and [[Edogawa Rampo|'''Edogawa''' Rampo]]. Agasa tells Ran that Conan is a distant relative whose parents are in the hospital and have asked him to take care of him. But, he tells her, he is a single man and cannot properly take care of a child, so he asks Ran to take him in. When Conan hisses protests, Agasa quietly explains to him that Ran's father Kogoro is a detective, and Conan realizes that if he lives there he may find information leading to the men in black. Excited by the prospect, Conan agrees and goes with Ran to ask Kogoro if he can stay.

On the walk home, Ran asks Conan if he has a person he likes, explaining that she does. Intending to tease her, Conan asks if she is talking about Shinichi. To his surprise, she admits to it but asks Conan not to tell Shinichi. This revelation causes Conan to almost admit his identity to her, but they are interrupted by Kogoro rushing out to the street in pursuit of a case: a rich man's child was kidnapped by a man in black. He heads off in a taxi, but belatedly realizes that Conan snuck into the car and Ran followed Conan. As Kogoro and Ran argue about whether they'll interfere with his work, Conan is thinking only of the men in black...

=== File 003 - The Unwelcome Great Detective ===
Conan, Kogoro, and Ran arrive at the house of Kogoro's client. The house's butler saw the client's daughter, Akiko, kidnapped by a large man dressed in black, but the butler's behavior is oddly suspicious - among other things, he claims that the kidnapper's demand for ransom money on top of temporarily closing the client's company must be some sort of mistake. After realizing that an outsider couldn't have gotten past the house's guard dogs unnoticed, Conan sets up a few hints that lead Kogoro to finally deduce that the kidnapper was actually the butler. The butler confesses to hiding Akiko in a hotel, but before they can leave to collect her, a housemaid rushes out with a phone call. The caller reiterates his demand of 300 million yen for Akiko's ransom.

=== File 004 - The Sixth Smokestack ===
[[File:Volume 1 File 004.jpg|125px|thumb|right|The first of many such introductions]]
After initial skepticism from the adults, Akiko's plea for help over the phone proves that she has truly been kidnapped. The kidnapper threatens to kill her if his demands go unmet or if the police become involved, but Akiko interjects a clue about her location: she is in a school warehouse, and can see a smokestack from the window. The kidnapper quickly ends the call, and the adults debate how to proceed while Conan worries that Akiko's gamble has placed her in imminent danger.

Borrowing Akiko's favorite dog as a mount for the sake of speed, Conan investigates the five nearby school sites that match her description but finds nothing. However, Conan then notices a tall building that looks like a smokestack when viewed from the side, and deduces which school in the area views it from that angle. At the school, the kidnapper closes the ransom deal with Akiko's father and prepares to kill her, but Conan arrives just in time to interfere. The dog attacks the kidnapper while Conan reassures Akiko, but by using a school bat the kidnapper subdues the dog and then goes after Conan. Conan's new body is too weak to fight back, even with his prized soccer kick. All he can do is dodge for as long as possible, and when one too many hits lands, the kidnapper prepares for the finishing blow...
{{clear}}
=== File 005 - The Other Perpetrator ===
[[File:Volume 1 File 005.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Ran saves Conan's life]]
As Conan takes a beating, Akiko realizes that her dog has not helped because he has disappeared. Immobile, bruised, and bleeding, Conan mentally acknowledges that his tiny body seems incapable of subduing a caught criminal and he braces himself for the kidnapper's final attack. However, Ran suddenly darts in front of Conan, blocks the baseball bat's downward swing with an arm and then knocks the kidnapper unconscious with a series of powerful karate moves. Kogoro and the dog arrive as Ran unties Akiko, and Ran explains to Conan that the dog returned home with one of Akiko's shoes in order to lead them to Akiko's location. Client and daughter are reunited, and Akiko defends the butler's actions by explaining that she came up with the kidnapping scheme herself in order to spend time with her workaholic father. The client praises Kogoro's method of finding Akiko, though Shinichi privately grumbles that the credit really belongs to him — a fact Akiko acknowledges as she thanks Conan for saving her.

On the taxi ride home Kogoro gloats over the success of the day and the client's promised reward. Ran broaches the idea of Conan staying with them for a while, which Kogoro enthusiastically approves, treating Conan like a good luck charm. As Kogoro laughs, Conan broods over his new apparent helplessness, and how to change that by the time he tracks down the men in black.

=== File 006 - From Third-Rate to Great Detective ===
Three days after he initially shrank, Conan wakes up to find himself still stuck as a child. He visits Professor Agasa to complain about Kogoro's inability to do anything himself, but Agasa reminds him he is there to find leads on the men in black and that he must not reveal his identity to anyone, especially the Mouris. Agasa also mentions that to quiet Ran's fears over Shinichi's absence, he told her that Shinichi was gone on a case but will return home soon. To aid Shinichi's efforts, Agasa presents the Voice-Changing Bowtie, which will allow the imitation of any voice.

Shinichi returns to the Detective Agency, where Kogoro is woken by an alarm to see his favorite celebrity, Yoko Okino, perform on TV. For the sake of the show, Kogoro initially dismisses a prospective client — until he realizes that the client is Yoko Okino herself, in need of help. The scruffy detective instantly changes into a much more sophisticated version of himself, and Yoko explains her recent trouble with a stalker. Her manager, Yamagishi, asks Kogoro to solve the case discreetly, and Kogoro proudly assures them both of his skills. Ran convinces Kogoro to take her and Conan along to Yoko's apartment, but when they all arrive the door opens to reveal a bloody corpse lying on the floor inside.

=== File 007 - The Bloody Case of the Lovely Pop Idol ===
Seeing the dead body, Kogoro immediately orders Ran to summon the Police. When Inspector Megure arrives with his investigation unit, he is annoyed to see Kogoro because apparently when Kogoro was an officer under Megure's command he made cases difficult. Megure also complains about the heat in the room, which Yoko confirms is unusual. Conan points out several other oddities in the room and accidentally starts analyzing the case aloud, earning looks from both Kogoro and Megure. The coroner confirms that the body died from a knife that belongs to Yoko, and Megure inquires whether Yoko or Yamagishi recognize the victim.

Yamagishi nervously approaches the body to look and clumsily slips in the blood, which Conan realizes was manufactured to cover picking something up off the body to hide it. After Yamagishi denies recognition and prompts Yoko to agree, Conan discovers that the hidden object was a long hair. Megure suspects Yoko, but Kogoro assumes that Yamagishi having a key to Yoko's apartment means he is the killer instead. However, the key was recently lost at the recording studio — and Yoko's worries about a stalker began after that. Meanwhile, Conan continues investigating and discovers an earring under Yoko's couch, but cannot get the adults to look until he uses the bowtie to imitate an adult's voice. Yoko recognizes the earring as belonging to Yuko Ikezawa, a fellow TV star, and after Yamagishi mentions that Yuko holds a grudge for losing out on an acting role to Yoko, several officers go to bring Yuko to the scene for questioning.

=== File 008 - Resemblance ===
[[File:Volume 1 File 008.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Ran misses Shinichi]]
Yuko rants over being summoned to the crime scene, insisting that suspicion should fall on Yoko as the apartment owner. She does acknowledge the earring is hers, but denies the idea that she could be the murderer and goes to use the restroom. Conan notices that Yoko and Yuko look identical from behind, but when he tries to inform Megure and Kogoro they angrily dismiss him as an annoying distraction. Ran tells Conan that he's a little young to try solving cases like Kogoro and Megure, but they'll surely solve the case soon... A bit more melancholy, she adds that Shinichi would have solved the case right away, and wonders what happened to him, prompting Conan to passionately declare that Shinichi will definitely be home soon.

When Yuko lights a cigarette Conan acts like a little kid to point out that though she claimed to have never been at Yoko's apartment, she knew that a Statue of Liberty statuette is actually a cigarette lighter. Conan then immediately asks after the bathroom to make Kogoro realize that Yuko knew where that was, too, and he accuses Yuko of killing the victim to cause a scandal for Yoko. Yuko denies killing him, but confesses that she was the 'stalker' harassing Yoko and had entered the apartment to steal something, was attacked by the victim, fought back, and fled. Kogoro and Megure doubt the denial, but immediately afterward the victim is identified — a young man named Akayoshi Fujie, who attended Yoko's high school. Yamagishi continues to deny that Yoko might know him, but Yoko breaks and confesses that he used to be her boyfriend, who broke up with her before her debut but kept trying to get back together recently.

Yoko, Yamagishi, and Yuko all are suspicious, and as Conan tries to figure out the truth, he notices a strange dent in the wood floor where the body had been. Putting the dent together with the initial disarray of the room except for a single upright chair nearby, the unusual heat of the room, the water marks around the body, and the hair in the body's hand, Conan realizes he's solved the puzzle, but Kogoro prepares to pronounce his own conclusions about the culprit.

=== File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding ===
[[File:Volume 1 File 009.jpg|125px|thumb|right|Calling Ran]]
Kogoro again accuses Yamagishi of murdering Fujie to prevent a possible scandal, but Conan kicks an ashtray at the back of Kogoro's head. Knocked unconscious, Kogoro falls into the chair behind him, and Conan uses the Voice-Changer Bowtie to explain the truth.

<spoiler>
If Yoko or Yamagishi had planned the murder, they should have planned out alibis in advance, particularly since their keys made them prime suspects. However, Yuko admitted that she met and fought the victim, which she would have denied if she'd accidentally killed him trying to get away. The hair from Fujie's hand that Yamagishi hid would implicate Yoko, but he'd been stabbed from behind and died instantly — the hair is a false clue left by the real murderer, '''Fujie''' himself. Fujie froze the knife in a block of ice, and threw himself back-first onto the blade.

Conan proves that Fujie killed himself and and made it look like murder with the following evidence:
# The high temperature melted the ice, creating the water spots on the floor around the body
# The oblong dent in the floor will match the shape of the knife handle
# Fujie's fingerprints on Yoko's hairbrush prove the intent to frame

Fujie killed himself because he was still in love with Yoko, but broke up with her at Yamagishi's request and always regretted it. He approached Yuko desperate for one last chance with Yoko, but when Yuko screamed and ran, the love became despair and hatred. After Conan finishes the deduction, and officer returns with Fujie's diary that confirms his tragic state of mind.
</spoiler>

Kogoro re-awakens just in time for Megure to congratulate him on his excellent detective work. A few days later, Ran and Conan walk home with dinner groceries and see a public broadcast of Yoko. Ran comments that Yoko is so strong to continue on after all that occurred, and that she's not that strong... Shinichi's week-long absence leaves her unable to sleep at night. Later that day, as Ran continues to worry, Conan uses the bowtie to call from a payphone as himself, to reassure her that he's all right, and he'll return as soon as he finishes the case he's working on. As they talk, Conan wishes he could speak to Ran again, not through a machine, but with his real voice.

=== File 105 - An Important Person!? ===
Conan wakes up to catch Ran sneaking out of the house. She says she is going to meet Shinichi for breakfast, which makes Conan happy until he wakes up enough to realize that Ran can't possibly be going to meet ''him''. Though he tries not to care, he ends up following her with the excuse he wants to see Shinichi as well. Ran admits that she isn't meeting with Shinichi, but all she'll tell Conan about her 'date' is that it's someone important to her. When Conan refuses to leave, Ran goes out to get some cakes to bribe him with. Conan watches other cafe patrons arrive: a woman in dark hair and sunglasses who keeps checking her watch, a graduate student with his thesis, and a beautiful lady lawyer with an appointment. As Conan watches her, he gets a strong vibe that makes him think she's angry. Another patron arrives, a big man with a bandage on his ring finger who sits immediately at the bar. The dark-haired woman asks after the bathroom, though she already knows that they're not gender-separated. The odd knowledge piques Conan's interest before his thoughts are interrupted by the arrival of Shiro Wakaoji, a handsome young man with a scheduled rendezvous. Shiro's phone rings and he brags to a friend about how easily he'll be able to take advantage of his date, whose description sounds like she could be Ran.

Before Conan can do anything, Ran calls him on the restaurant phone, explaining her delay and asking if anyone was looking for her. Conan describes Shiro as "someone with long hair", which Ran affirms must be her date even though the hair is usually tied back, like Shiro did just after getting of his phone. Shiro goes into the bathroom just before Ran hangs up to come back to the cafe. However, almost immediately, Shiro screams because he found blood oozing out of a bathroom stall. Conan rushes in and after finding the stall door stuck, jumps up to peer over the top. The dark-haired woman from before, Yayoi Himeno, is messily dead on the floor.

=== File 106 - The Weapon Of The Crime ===
Ran arrives at the café, joining the crowd gawking at the crime scene. Inside, Megure confirms with Conan that Yayoi's body was up against the stall door, dead from a knife to the heart. In addition, a red line around her neck implies that she was likely strangled unconscious before she died. Megure concludes that Yayoi was the unlucky victim of robber who fled through the bathroom window. Conan protests that the window is clean, but when Megure sees no significance to the point the lady lawyer says that Megure should listen to Conan. Megure recognizes her with surprise, but before Conan can ask from where, she explains that the window should be bloody if a blood-spattered robber escaped through it. Because the weapon was also left behind, the culprit must still be one of the café patrons, who tried to disguise the murder as a robbery. Her quick deductions leave Conan in awe for matching him and a bit intimidated.

In order to leave the stall, the murderer had to climb over the top of the stall door, which the lawyer (Ms. Kisaki) proves is possible for some people. Following Kisaki's admonishment to find the culprit quickly, Megure tries to find who else visited the toilet. Conan volunteers that the four patrons he had been watching all did, including Kisaki, who smirks and compliments his memory. All four suspects explain why they came to the café. Conan finds himself oddly certain that something is different from before the murder, but he can't pinpoint what. Given the victim's behavior, he realizes the meeting place must have been the toilets, not the café, and suggests Megure have everyone try to fit over the stalls. Only Sumeragi and Kisaki fit, but the conclusive evidence of the strangling-string is absent. The ribbon Sumeragi uses to tie his books is found, but he denies being the murderer. Conan believes him because he used the toilet first and Yayoi didn't simply follow him in. As a result, Kisaki is the primary suspect, but if so then her involvement in the investigation is strange.

Conan's thoughts are interrupted by a CSI officer leaving with the knife—as it passes by, Conan realizes there is blood spatter on the entire knife except for a thin strip of the blade next to the handle. He snatches the knife evidence bag to look closer, and realizes he also has blood on one of his hands. The only place it could have happened was in looking over the stall door, but there's no way it should have been there. In a flash of inspiration, Conan realizes why and how it could be there, and thus who the murderer is. However, he still needs to find the string as evidence. Kisaki interrupts his thoughts to return the evidence bag; Conan finds it hard to think for some reason when facing her, but then notices the wedding ring on her finger and realizes what he missed before.

=== File 107 - The Two Mysteries ===
Conan realizes the culprit and evidence while Megure accuses Sumeragi of being the murderer. To prevent a wrong arrest, Conan draws attention to the blood on top of the door, which doesn't fit with someone climbing out of the stall. He then draws attention to the knife, and how the culprit likely has no blood on them, but something was tied to the knife to pull it out of the victim from a distance. Kisaki picks up on Conan's train of thought to conclude that the ''victim'' passed over the door rather than the murderer.

<spoiler>
The only person strong enough to perform such a task is '''Juzo Tonoyama''', but Kisaki admits there is insufficient proof. However, Conan calls out the fact that Tonoyama's bandage is now on his middle finger, whereas when he arrived it was on his ring finger as part of his "story". Megure realizes the bandages were used to strangle Yayoi and then tied to the knife. Tonoyama tries to escape by charging Kisaki, only to be stopped cold by a perfect Judo throw. Conan feels a strange ''deja vu'' witnessing it. It turns out that Tonoyama was having an affair with Yayoi, and he killed her when she asked him to marry her out of fear she would reveal his infidelity to his wife.

After Tonoyama is taken away by the police, Conan refocuses on who the person Ran was meeting must be. When Ran finally makes it into the restaurant, Conan calls out Shiro on his attitude, but Ran doesn't know him and is confused by Conan's behavior. It turns out that Sonoko was the man's intended rendezvous, while Ran's meeting was with Kisaki—her mother. Conan is shocked, and finds himself hiding behind Ran while they walk together because his body reflexively remembers the times Kisaki berated them for getting into trouble as children. Ran brings up that it has been ten years since Eri left Kogoro, and suggests she come back. Eri vehemently refuses, but it's clear she retains some feelings for Kogoro. However, upon seeing Kogoro's behavior on his recent TV show, she warns Ran off getting involved with any childhood friends and storms off, leaving Conan to glare at Kogoro's image on TV.</spoiler>

=== File 062 - The Invitation To Tsukikage Island ===
[[File:Volume 7 File 062.jpg|150px|thumb|right|A mysterious invitation.]]
Rather than take a vacation during Golden Week, Kogoro has been summoned by a strange letter and phone call from a man calling himself "Keiji Asou" to a small town on Tsukikage Island. When he, Ran, and Conan arrive, at first it seems as though Keiji Asou does not exist, until a man reacts badly to overhearing the name. He declares that Keiji was a famous pianist who committed suicide-murder ten years ago by setting his house on fire with himself, his wife, son and daughter trapped inside, and playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata until the blaze consumed him. Kogoro is dejected at the idea of an elaborate prank, but Conan suggests that since the anonymous client already paid, he likely wants them to investigate Keiji's death. Ran suggests asking the Mayor, who had been a friend of Keiji, for more information, and asks a woman (Narumi Asai) standing nearby where to find him.

During the conversation the looming mayoral election comes up, and Narumi explains the three candidates: Masato Shimizu , popular with the fisherman population of the island, Tatsuji Kuroiwa, the current mayor, and Hideo Kawashima, the island's richest inhabitant. All three should be at the community center, as the previous mayor, Isamu Kameyama, died exactly two years ago. As well as the candidates themselves, the mayors daughter, Reiko Kuroiwa, and her fiancee, Shuuichi Murasawa, are present to attend the memorial ceremony. When Kazuaki Hirata, the mayor's secretary, announces that a detective wishes to see Mayor Tatsuji, Tatsuji and Reiko both look shocked.

While Kogoro grumbles about the wait, Conan notices a piano in a nearby room that overlooks the ocean right outside. Ran notices how dirty the piano is, but Kazuaki stops her from touching it with the warning of a curse—not only is it the piano Keiji played the night of his suicide, but Kazuaki found Isamu at the piano, dead of a heart attack, just after hearing the Moonlight Sonata being played. Despite the tale, Conan plays the piano and notes how it remains in good shape. Kazuaki asks them to wait in the lobby until after the ceremony, where they find Narumi and Shimizu have just arrived. Narumi came to burn incense for Isamu because he was the first body that she inspected on Tsukikage Island. Also present at the ceremony is Ken Nishimoto, an old acquaintance of both Isamu and Kenji. Mayor Tatsuji privately accuses Hideo of hiring Kogoro to use against him, but Hideo dismisses it and steps out to the bathroom.

Still waiting, Conan wonders why someone would have been secretly tuning the "cursed" piano, and for what purpose, as well as what the mysterious letter that summoned Kogoro might mean. Suddenly, the sound of Moonlight Sonata fills the community center, and Conan rushes to the piano room only to find Hideo slumped at the piano, already dead as the song plays on.

=== File 063 - The Piano's Curse ===
Kogoro orders Ran to call the police and declares that Hideo's murder was planned, because a tape recorder hidden in the piano is playing the music just as it had for the previous mayor's death. Conan silently berates himself for not having realized the letter's meaning sooner while Narumi examines the body. Narumi declares the cause of death to be suffocation by drowning, which Conan supports by pointing out what looks like Hideo's jacket in the sea outside the music room. Since evidence points to Hideo having been drowned by someone in the community center, all the ceremony attendees are suspects. Narumi mentions that she went to the toilet soon after Hideo, but didn't see anyone suspicious. The remaining mayoral candidates accuse each other of killing Hideo, but Kogoro orders them to calm down.

Conan mentions that due to Hideo's size and build, his murderer was likely a man to have drowned him and dragged him into position so quickly. Kogoro wonders why risk using the piano; Kazuaki suggests the piano's curse, since Keiji donated it fifteen years ago. Kogoro discovers a piece of sheet music on the piano that hadn't been there before, the sight of which causes Ken Nishimoto to panic an run from the room. Kazuaki explains that Ken used to be rich and popular, but for the past two years he has become reclusive and seems afraid of something. Ken is an old friend of Tatsuji, though Tatsuji seems reluctant to confirm that they were.

Ran arrives with the islands only policeman, but due to the late hour, the guests are released home to be questioned in the morning. Reiko wishes the creepy piano would burn; Shuuichi agrees with a slightly creepy smile, which garners him a dark look from Kazuaki. After everyone else leaves, Narumi compliments Conan's intelligence and persuasiveness; Conan credits Kogoro to Narumi but privately is certain Kogoro has no chance of solving the case when even Conan is confused. As he ponders the murder, the music, and the letter mentioning that 'shadows will begin to vanish', Conan realizes with horror that Hideo's death is only the start.

=== File 064 - Left-Behind Music ===
With Conan's prompting, Kogoro realizes that the letter announces a set of serial murders. They return to the community center, as all three deaths were connected to the piano there. Ran notes that the sheet music left at the scene of the crime is for Moonlight Sonata; however, when she attempts to play it, they realize the notation has been modified into what might be a code, such as a dying message left by Hideo. A sudden noise startles the group, but it turns out to have been Narumi tracking them down to bring them some dinner. While eating, Narumi explains her position as a part-time doctor who visits family on the mainland on the weekends. She mentions that when the mayor died in the piano room, one of the windows was open, and when she point out which one, they see a shadowy figure standing outside. Kogoro and Conan give chase, assuming the culprit came back after the musical score, but the figure gets away. Kogoro plans to stay up all night standing watch, but wakes in the morning to discover Megure and a mainland investigation team have arrived while he was asleep. Megure has already been briefed by Conan, Ran and Narumi, who managed to stay awake but are now sleeping.

Megure and Kogoro go to the town hall to perform questioning while officers guard the community center. After all day tracking down and questioning most of the thirty-eight attendees, all that remain are those connected to the mayoral candidates. Kogoro says they'll question Narumi last, and she goes to freshen up in the bathroom. Kogoro thinks they'll find the killer once they decode the sheet music, but Conan knows that it was too complicated for a dying message and must have been left by the killer. Since the sight of the music frightened Ken, he is likely next. While Reiko is being questioned, Conan waits with Ran and Narumi and notices that Ken's questioning has finished, but he has yet to leave. When Ken finally walks away, Conan follows him upstairs; the second movement of Moonlight Sonata begins just as Conan catches up to Ken, who collapsed just outside the broadcasting room. Inside is the body of Mayor Tatsuji, fatally stabbed.

The police medical examiners already left the island, so Megure asks Narumi to examine the corpse. Conan privately vents his frustration at the cold-blooded, premeditated serial killing. Meanwhile, Narumi puts the time of death as less than ten minutes ago, corroborated by Megure's finding of only five minutes of blank tape before the Moonlight Sonata recording starts. Megure is confident the killer remains in the building, but all conjecture is interrupted by an officer discovering musical notation drawn on the floor underneath the corpse's chair.

=== File 065 - The Hellfire Secret ===
Kogoro thinks the bloody notes are another dying message, but Conan points out that Tatsuji could have left to get help if he'd had the strength for such a complicated message. Conan attributes this and the sheet music to the killer. Annoyed, Kogoro cuffs Conan with enough force to knock him into the message—but luckily, it's dry enough to not smudge. Kogoro shoos Conan off, and from the sidelines Conan gets another glimpse of Ken's terrified expression. Megure summons the remaining suspects: Ken, Narumi, Kazuaki, Reiko, and Masato. Reiko protests that she has an alibi for the time of the murder, which Ran realizes also rules out Narumi. Kazuaki tries to establish an alibi, but Masato can't corroborate it; Masato tries to do the same with Shuichi, but Shuichi denies that either of them were in the same place long enough to provide alibis. Ken says that Tatsuji asked to meet him in the broadcast room, and Megure remembers Tatsuji mentioning he had an appointment. Ken denies killing Tatsuji, but Kogoro doesn't believe him. However, Reiko interrupts by accusing Masato because with no political rivals, he will become the new mayor by default.

As the argument continues, Conan studies the musical code in puzzlement. Ran explains the way sharps and flats denote the keys on the piano keyboard, which inspires Conan to crack the code: "You understand... your turn is next.". Kogoro demands to know what the second message said, and Conan translates, "The hellfire's anger has burned away." Ken reacts with hysterical laughter and declares that Keiji Asou is still alive. The old police officer contradicts him, saying that Keiji and his wife and daughter were all identified in the ashes of the house; the only thing unburned was some sheet music in a safe. Kogoro and Megure speculate on a connection between that music and the case and send the officer to fetch the key to bring the music from the community center storeroom. Conan darts out to follow the policeman before Ran can stop him, and questions the officer about the details of Keiji's death. The three dead and Ken Nishimoto are the four witnesses to Keiji's suicide, and all five were old friends from piano school. The officer also mentions that Shuuichi first arrived three years ago, and Kazuaki had some unknown association with Hideo.

By the time the officer finds the key in the mess of the office, however, all the suspects have been released until the morning with the assumption no more murders will occur. Conan knows only two of the three movement of the sonata have been played, and rushes back to the community center. Ran and the officer follow; when they try to open the storeroom, Conan hears a noise from the piano room. Rushing in, he sees a shadowed figure standing over the piano and Shuichi on the ground. The figure escapes through the window, just as elsewhere, Ran screams.

=== File 066 - Blood-Stained Button ===
Conan runs back to the storeroom at Ran's scream--she and the police officer found Ken's body hung by a noose inside. The sound of a cassette player stopping alerts Conan that Ken must have died within the past 30-60 minutes. Ran notices sheet music on the floor Ken's feet, which turns out to say Ken committed suicide from the guilt of murdering the other two men in order to keep their secret. Megure and Kogoro assume the secret is related to Keiji and the missing sheet music, since Keiji taught the others the original code. The will also mentions a mysterious "demon's powder", but Megure states that with this suicide, the case should be closed.

[[File:Volume 7 File 066.jpg|125px|thumb|right|Licking an unknown white powder is usually unwise.]]
Conan questions the suicide, pointing out both the lack of a chair or stool that would have allowed Ken to hang himself, and that a last will would be unlikely to be written in code. A killer in a hurry might have made some simple mistakes, however. Conan mentions the suspicious figure he saw on the piano room; Narumi has been taking care of the unconscious Shuuichi. Reiko is there when Megure, Conan and Kogoro arrive, and she accuses Masato of using attacking Shuuichi as well as the three murders, though she can't explain why Shuuichi was in the piano room himself. Conan finds an odd tool that Reiko snatches away on Shuuichi's behalf, though she doesn't know its function or why Shuuichi always carried it. Conan recognizes it as a tuning hammer for pianos and wonders what unknown specialty school Shuuichi attended. While the police re-summon the suspects, Conan investigates the piano where the mysterious figure had been doing something underneath. He finds a secret compartment under the piano and tastes the traces of white powder on the ground: it is cocaine. Back at the town hall, Megure reviews the case and the remaining suspects are Shuuichi, Kazuaki, an Masato. Something Conan can't define bothers him. An officer arrives with pictures from the Mayor's crime scene, which Conan sneaks a peek at as they are laid out for Megure to inspect later. Conan points out an odd shimmering light by the body that is present in one picture and then gone the next. Kogoro shoos Conan away, at which point Conan notices a fresh bandage on Kazuaki's hand. He follows Kazuaki to the vending machine for cigarettes and claims to see white powder on his sleeve; Kazuaki freaks out and drops his change, which contains many foreign coins. As Kazuaki returns inside, the police officer arrives with the Keiji's old sheet music. Conan decodes that they are addressed to Keiji's son, Seiji, who was ill and hospitalized when he was young. The name sparks a realization on Conan's mind and he rushes back to the recording studio, where the light he noticed before turns out to denote something is being played in reverse. In that moment, Conan realizes who the killer must be, why Hideo was left in the piano room, the reason for the coded messages, and the significance of "Moonlight Sonata".

=== File 067 - The Secret Of The Name!! ===
Kogoro had followed Conan up to the broadcast room, which gives Conan the perfect opportunity to dart Kogoro unconscious. Downstairs, Megure's pondering of the case and suspects is interrupted by Kogoro's voice coming from the broadcast speaker.

<spoiler>
First, Conan explains that Kazuaki injured his hand escaping through the window after knocking out Shuuichi. Kazuaki has been using the piano to smuggle cocaine to Hideo, who was likely looking for the bag Kazuaki just reclaimed, when he was drowned and left at the piano. However, Kazuaki did not murder him, as he would not have wanted to risk a crime scene investigation finding the piano compartment.
As for the murders:
* Ken was killed and arranged via the storeroom window, but the will and the lack of an arranged step suggests the murderer left in a hurry after hearing someone else arrive. As such, Shuuichi's behavior does not match the killer either.
* For Mayor Tatsuji's murder, the 5 minutes of blank space on the tape and Narumi's statement setting his time of death as minutes before he was found is contradicted by the fact that Conan did not smear the blood on the floor—human blood takes at least 15-30 minutes to dry. Playing the tape in reverse, with the blank side first, adds 30 minutes to the time of death.
* The officers did not notice that reverse was pushed because the killer switched it off between the initial photo of the body and when the body was moved. The only person to approach the body, and in doing so provided a false time of death, was '''Narumi'''. Hideo's strange method of death, requiring autopsy on the mainland, was to create the chance to examine the Mayor's body herself and establish her alibi.

[[File:Volume 7 File 067.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Last words.]]
Megure protests that as a woman, Narumi can't possibly have the strength to accomplish the murders. Conan ignores this to examine the motive, which stems from the fact that Keiji Asou did not commit suicide, but was murdered for trying to back out of the cocaine smuggling operation he and the other four now-dead men had been operating. They killed him and his family in an effort to keep the secret. Conan discovered this in the 12-year-old sheet music, which was a confession addressed to Keiji's son, Seiji—the true identity of Narumi Asai. As Megure processes the deception, an officer notices that Seiji is missing. Everyone runs directly to the community center, where the last link between father and son remains in the piano room, but it's too late—the entire community center is ablaze with a gasoline-fueled fire. Inside, Seiji embraces the piano and waits for the end. Despite the flames, Conan appears in the doorway and offers Keiji's last words, which ask Seiji "to live a full life". Conan tries to get Seiji to save himself in the small time remaining. Seiji confesses that if he'd learned the truth about Keiji through the will, rather than from a panicked confession from the old mayor that ended with his genuine heart attack, Seiji might not have thought of and gone through with the other three murders. Now, however, it's far too late for redemption or escape, as Seiji's hands are covered with blood. So saying, Seiji picks Conan up and throws him through the window to the safety of the grounds outside. Conan tries to run back in, but Ran restrains him just as music from the piano picks out a message in the code. Helpless, Conan can do nothing but watch and listen to the music of Seiji's farewell message. By morning the fire burns itself out; nothing remains. Shuuichi awakes and confesses he was a great admirer of Keiji, and secretly kept the piano in tune, while Kazuaki confesses to the drug smuggling and is arrested. On the boat ride home, Ran wonders why Kogoro was summoned, assuming it was a challenge after all. Conan responds that Seiji was probably trying to get someone to stop him. Ran then asks what the piano code said. Conan claims he doesn't remember, but Ran doesn't believe him; as she tries to get him to answer, he remembers: "Thank you, little detective."

== Masumi Sera's connection to Shuichi Akai speculation ==
Out of curiosity, now that the connection is confirmed, what would you like to do with that section of the speculation on [[Masumi Sera]] and [[Shuichi Akai]]'s pages? You wrote the speculation, if I'm not mistaken, and I didn't want to remove your research without bringing the matter to you first. :) --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] 23:59, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

== If Bourbon is revealed ==
If Bourbon is revealed, do we really have to change the person's name into Bourbon? I think it would be better to make a Bourbon link redirect to someone. You know I was thinking like this, if Subaru Okiya is Bourbon, then we don't have to change the name of Subaru Okiya into display of Bourbon in all episode articles because the new readers might look at episode articles in chronological order. If the reader looks at Conan vs Double Code Mystery when Subaru Okiya is Bourbon label it, that would spoil the whole thing. Here's a good idea: in the previous episode articles before Bourbon's revealed, let's leave as regular names. After Bourbon's revealed, we will keep making as Bourbon display in the cast section in the future episode articles. So what do you say? Do you kind of get it about my idea? --[[User:S261157|S261157]] 03:06, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
:I guess that will be that. I'm sure this idea is great that we are not going to make a display of "Bourbon" in the previous articles of the cast section. And of course my favorite character is Sango Yokomizo. Because he's very nice policeman and I love how he interrogates people by getting close to people's face.

I love what I'm seeing on the handedness complaint. I told you before, I was an IP that previously clashed with you. I don't have that proxy any longer, but you can look me up: 113.192.1.99. I also love how you ran away from a challenge. But without a doubt, my favorite is the fact that you're randomly accusing people of being me sock puppetting and being guilty of a serious offense that makes them not worth your time any further, when you yourself were sock puppeting on Mangafox. By the way, if you still can't decipher my code: start with a Caesar Square. I'm reverting the edit since it's wrong, neither my various proxies nor my natural IP match out to 71.126.239.180 (and just to help you out, my natural IP is 66.87.125.212).

== Don't you remember ==
Don't you remember my name? Yong? It's me.

== Wrong person ==
I was surprised that this S261167 person shares the same location, but it's true. I live in the same location. You have block the wrong person and I must finish my gallery.

==Confession and a deal==
Okay fine, you got me, I am S261157 and listen. Please listen to me. Okay listen up, here's a deal. I wanted all things to start over. Of course I screwed up and argue stuff, making conflicts. Listen, if you can just change the block settings into one week for me not to edit the wiki, I will not evade the block. If I did evade the block, you can change the block settings into one year. I worked really hard on the wiki for two whole years and this isn't how I should get. I regret all my lies and sneaky things and all my actions. But you have to trust me on this one. Change the block settings into one week and I will not edit the wiki for a week by evading the block. If I did evade, you can change the block settings. I just want to get my chance back to edit the wiki. And look don't worry, I changed myself and I won't edit war ever again with you. I just didn't know how things were find out and I learned my lesson. You're the moderator and I underestimate you. So do we have a deal? I want to earn the trust back. I regret all my actions for evading the block.
:I am sorry about all those things. But please. Just test me, I want my block settings to a week. I just want one more chance. I suggest for you to test me if I'm not evading or not for a week. When you change the block settings to week of S261157, block the Holmes51 account infinite. Just test me.
::You have to trust me, please. I won't screw up again. One year is impossible for me! I love editing this wiki. If someone learned a lesson, you have to give them one more chance. Look, I know I am so ashame to myself. Just give me one week of ban. Please!
:::Okay, how about one month. That's my final offer. Look I was wrong and I won't do it again. Honest.
::::Whoa whoa whoa hold on, six months!? I said week of banning
:::::Oh oh ok ok ok, alright I got it. If the other mods agree, then you set to one week on banning. Alright I got ya.

== By accident for forgetting ==
Chekhov, please forgive me! I edit the magic kaito special 9 by forgetting the topic ban! Please, then can you ban me for a week then if that's my punishment? Not six months?! I didn't mean to break your rule, and I'm so sorry! It was an accident really! Honest! I totally forgot! --[[User:S261157|S261157]]
:Wait you said no editing special episodes but everything else where there aren't people boxes is ok. That's what you said right? Magic Kaito special 9 has no people boxes. So is it still breaking the rules?

== Corrections ==
In [[Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure]], Can you switch Kisaki Eri into Eri Kisaki and add "u" at the end of Kaito in Toichi Kuroba as Kaito Kid? --[[User:S261157|S261157]]

== Re: Ran saves Ai image ==

Hm... Actually I think that one has accurate scale, since it is a full screenshot of the scene. And full screenshots tend to have that kind of scale (even though it doesn't look very nice to the eyes). For example, if you compare it to the images with Shinichi and Ran on the same page and some other full screenshots, you'll see that the scales are approximately the same after re-sizing to the same pixel but still keep the ratio (even when the original sizes are different):
<div class="left">[[File:Ran saves Ai.jpg|left|200px]]</div>
<div class="left">[[File:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|left|200px]]</div>
<div class="left">[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|left|200px]]</div>
<div class="left">[[File:EP622-623 Gallery 2.jpg|left|200px]]</div>
<div class="left">[[File:MK8 building check.PNG|left|200px]]</div>

<div class="left">[[File:MK8 Jody used Flamethrower! It's Super Effective!.PNG|left|200px]]</div>
{{clearleft}}

I think the reason why other images look more "balanced" is either because they're not a full screenshot (e.g. cropped) or because they were sketched in size without maintaining the original ratio. - [[User:Black Demon|Black Demon]]

== Speaking of the Anokata article... ==

Some months ago there was an interview of Gosho that mentioned some facts about the Boss' identity, not sure if you have read it yet (I posted that somewhere in the forum).

Gosho said that The Boss is "a person who has appeared with his/her ''full name''" (translated by Mina from DCTP if I'm not mistaken, it was posted at the [http://www.dctp.ws/Latest/ConanNews.htm DCTP Spoiler Cbox] (the one used for translations) during the Mystery Train Case, you can read it there in an archive). However, I can't read much of Japanese so I'm not sure how to understand the phrase "has appeared" here. Is it safe to say that The Boss has been featured in person ?

This is the orginal Japanese Q&A:

－－コナンに登場する犯罪組織の黒幕は、男ですか、女ですか

　「それは言えない。でも、今までにフルネームで登場している人です」

The page itself: http://sankei.jp.msn.com/life/news/120630/bdy12063007000000-n1.htm (That part's in page 4)

But the only problem here is that no one is sure whether this interview is real or not, which is the reason why I never included it here. So what do you think, should we add it or not ?

== Re: S261157 ==
No problem; I've sporadically kept up with the wiki and relevant history, even though I haven't had time to edit much until recently. I hope the damage control is successful, as I noticed a lot of user-talk-page discussions in Recent Changes over the past few days. I'll stick to my comfy little section in the manga summaries, where no one else seems to tread anyway. ^^;; [[User:Ocianne|Ocianne]] ([[User talk:Ocianne|talk]]) 23:35, 16 February 2013 (PST)

Okay I admit it! I was a fool and a stupid guy who is so hopeless and I'm a big idiot!!!!!! I want to change and I'm heartbroken right now! I'm so ashamed of myself who has unhealthy problems. You were right all along. People section doesn't have to be what it says in the blue box. I want to have privilege back and edit the wiki in a happy way by letting the people edit the people section whatever they want. I caused so much troubleness but please give me the topic ban rules again, and I want to make things right! Being banned is the worstest thing ever in my entire life and I gives me sickness (really I am). I want to edit the wiki in and let anyone edit the wiki in peace. Wiki is supposed to be a website that anyone can edit. And it's not mine, it belongs to Maurice, the administrator. I should always follow his rule and follow the manual of style. I was wrong and your right. Your smart and I'm dumb. I was wrong as always. I really want to make things right. Please, I don't want to be banned for six months. I never expect this would have ever happened. You must understand my feelings. I'm in great pain and please I know your extremely disappointed. I want to edit this wiki and it's my greatest life. Serioulsy, I cross my heart. No more tricks, no more lying, and no more telling the users in a wrong way. Always edit the wiki in peace. --[[UserS261157]]

== Re: Stolen information ==

I know where you come from and I know how the licensings working, but, don't it frustrates you that the source that you've founded and added it by writing the text at your own and then some other website related to the mediawiki style then steels all of your hard work, that is not as simple as it seems by taking away content from another website. Each website should be original and by copying the source from another wiki is extremely unoriginal. Thanks for understanding this painful situation though, but it frustrates me that literally the text that I've written were I had to find tons of informations from different kind of websites evenly from Japanese websites to create something special of my own. Hope you understand how I felt about it, evenly your wikia is under GNU Free Documentation License by taking free contents from different websites it is still not right by taking the content without referencing the source were you've taken. Maybe you also dislikes it when I am going to take content from this wiki and placed it to my wiki right? Hopefully we can know clear thing because I've found out that the one who took the content is the one you've banned. Hope out websites can get along with each other what do you think? I've evenly created a special rule at my wiki which contains to prevent taking content from your wiki and adding to the mine. I want to be a wiki were the source can be trustworthy and original. Anyway good luck with your wiki. Sorry for my behavior, I was just furious that exact the same content has been made here as well.

== Cleanup ==

Hi,

I started to do a lot of cleanup yesterday, mainly with the redirect pages, and I came across some pretty useless pages (which aren't linked from any other page), which I think should be deleted :

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align: center"
|-
! Pages !! Reason
|-
| [[A Mysterious Sniper Murder Case (Part 1)]]<br />[[A Mysterious Sniper Murder Case (Part 2)]]<br />[[The Traveling Drama Troupe Murder Case (Part 1)]]<br />[[The Traveling Drama Troupe Murder Case (Part 2)]] || We don't create redirections for each part of an episode
|-
| [[Detectiv Conan timeline]]<br />[[Detéctive Conan]]<br />[[Eiichi Yamagishi (charatcer)]]<br />[[Héiji]]<br />[[Matsomoto family]]<br />[[Wataru Takagi Appearance]] || Based on very specific typos
|-
| [[Unknown]]<br />[[Mikami Sera]] || When the name wasn't known, I suppose
|-
| [[Decisive Battle At Skyscraper!]] || Doesn't lead anywhere, I don't know where it should (the first movie ?)
|-
| [[Mann (Fall 197)]] || Leads to [[Scar Akai]], don't know why
|-
| [[Other People]] || Leads to the main page talk, don't really know why either, and as I said it's not linked from any other page
|-
| [[Roller Coaster Murder Case/Images]] || Leads to the gallery, useless
|-
| [[Volume 61-Current]]<br />[[Volume 71-Current]] || Outdated
|-
| [[Xinichi]] || I checked on the Shinichi page, it's not even a foreign dub name
|-
| [[Midori Kuroba]] || Not sure about that one, she's supposed to be called Chikage but I don't know if the anime messed up or something
|}

There's also a bunch of file redirections but I'll not touch them for the time being.

Oh, and there are three "real" pages that (in my opinion) should be deleted as well :

[[Apollo Glass Appearances]] : As far as I know, we don't do the Appearances page for one-time characters.<br />
[[Diana Kingstone]] : The page is empty and it's a one-time character too. At best, maybe should we put her in the notable case characters list.<br />
[[Family & Friends]] : Almost empty, useless, not linked from anywhere.

So, what do you think ? Is it possible to delete these pages ?

Thank you,

==Kaito's age==
Not a good canon source, but his age is specified as 17 in the Clock Tower heist segment of [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|episode 219]]. (Just before the flashback to the heist when Kaito is getting ready to go to the Suzuki museum to steal the Black Star.) I would have to search through Magic Kaito itself to see if his age is specified within, but I do know that the manga version of the Clock Tower heist doesn't mention it since the characters don't have the introduction boxes. --[[User:Skyechan|Skyechan]] ([[User talk:Skyechan|talk]]) 16:24, 7 April 2013 (PDT)

== Bug with Appearances template ==

Hi,

I just created [["The Criminal" Appearances]] (by the way, I hope it won't be considered useless ...) and there seems to be a problem with the Appearances template. As you can see, instead of listing all the appearances, it only outputs the number of appearances like it does in the Appearances section of [["The Criminal"]]. I suppose this is caused by the quotation marks in "The Criminal". Is there anything I can do about it ?

Thanks,

'''{{nihongo|Vermouth|ベルモット|Berumotto}}''', also known as '''{{nihongo|Sharon Vineyard|シャロン・ヴィンヤード|Sharon Vinyādo}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Chris Vineyard|クリス・ヴィンヤード|Kurisu Vinyādo}}''', is a member of the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Vermouth's background is very mysterious. She was friends with [[Yukiko Kudo]] back when they were acting together under the name Sharon Vineyard and studied under [[Kuroba Toichi]], but she was even then secretly a member of the [[Black Organization]]. It is unknown for exactly how long she has been a member, but it is known that she had been secretly living at least two lives through the art of disguise: that of herself and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard. After staging Sharon Vineyard's death, she now lives as "Chris" and continues to serve the Black Organization. At one point, some twenty years ago, she killed the parents of a little girl who would become the FBI agent [[Jodie Starling]], one of her most bitter enemies.

Vermouth is [[Anokata|the boss]]’s favorite which grants her some independence. She also appears not to age or have de-aged over a period of twenty years between when she killed Jodie's parents and her current appearance. She doesn’t seem to like the research that Ai and her parents engaged in, calling it “foolish". <ref>[[Volume 42#File 434 - Rotten Apple|Volume 42, File 434: "Rotten Apple"]]</ref>

Vermouth entered the storyline some time after [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano/Sherry/Ai Haibara]]'s mysterious flight from the Organization. Her main objective was to track down and eliminate the 'traitor', and for that purpose she assumed the identity of doctor [[Tomoaki Araide]]. But although she managed to discover Shiho's reversion into a child, she did not succeed in killing her, as she met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was able to discover and thwart her plans. She also encountered the FBI during this process.

Vermouth has great personal interest in Conan, constantly calling him "[[Silver Bullet]]". Since it has been revealed that she knows about Ai and Kudo's reversion to their child forms, she seems to know the shrinking effect the drug can have, but for reasons yet unrevealed she keeps this knowledge secret from the rest of the Organization.

== Personality ==
Although she follows orders from [[Anokata|the boss]] and [[Gin]] when he is charge of missions, Vermouth often acts according to her own agenda and whims, even when it runs contrary to the [[Black Organization]]'s best interests. She is secretive and manipulative, even towards other Organization members. Vermouth is confident in her abilities, is very bold, and an expert at manipulating situations to her advantage: traits which allow her to single-handedly weave complex plots and take the upper hand even while she is being monitored by enemies. She is intelligent and insightful, correctly suspecting the allegiance of Kir, but she was successfully outwitted by [[Conan]] and forced by [[Shuichi Akai]] to retreat.

[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|left|Vermouth teases Gin and Vodka by disguising as a waiter.]]
Vermouth's personality is contradictory at times. On one hand, she is a cruel and ruthless agent who will blackmail an unwilling man to commit murder by threatening him and his family just to provide a distraction and happily tell [[Jodie Starling|an FBI agent]] she should smile because she will see her dead father again in heaven. On the other hand, she risks her life several times to protect Conan, [[Ran]], and [[Kogoro]], and her friendly behavior while in disguise as Tomoaki Araide left the real Araide wondering if Vermouth is really a bad person. This inconsistency may reflect an underlying conflict of conscience after [[Shinichi]] and Ran saved her life during the events of the [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354_Anime:_286-288.29|Golden Apple case]].

At this point, Vermouth's motives are very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. It is frequently implied that Vermouth does not approve with the Organization's plans and is willing to quit, but fears the consequences of doing so openly. She is frequently shown to hold hopes that Conan is the 'silver bullet' that will eventually stop the Organization. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (as the son of [[Yukiko Kudo|her best friend]]) and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].<ref name="e288">[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, Part 3]].</ref> As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.

She may enjoy teasing others, seen when she disguised as a male waiter and served Gin and Vodka martinis and taunted Chianti by wishing her good luck and blowing her a kiss.<ref>[[Volume 49#File 501 - Follow the Target!|Volume 49, File 501, page 7: "Follow the Target!"]]</ref>

==Abilities==
===Disguise===
[[File:Vermouth_taking_off_Araide's_mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes a latex mask.]]
Vermouth is able to mimic anyone's appearance and voice exactly with her disguise and acting skills even after observing them for only a short period of time. Vermouth frequently utilizes latex masks. Although she may have known how to disguise prior to meeting [[Toichi Kuroba]], she studied disguise under him. Her disguise ability was first shown in [[The Mysterious Passenger]]<ref>[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287: "The Unseen Horror"]], [[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 230: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref> where she dressed as a male waiter to tease [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].

===Reconnaissance===
Vermouth specializes in reconnaissance and infiltration, and has been shown to work very swiftly yet cautiously to rapidly acquire information. Her confidence and skill in disguise and imitation means she can execute bold plans that put her in very close contact with her targets and she can advance her plot even when they are suspicious of her. Without the aid of the other organization members, Vermouth successfully snuck into the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police headquarters]] in order to steal the records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases. She later returned them when presumably the surveillance would be even higher after the police noticed the files were missing. She then single-handedly staked out the [[FBI]] who were lured out into watching Kogoro Mouri and uncovered their numbers, addresses, and ways to contact them.

===Stamina===
Vermouth is quite strong and has developed a high pain tolerance. While she was disguised as a serial killer in New York City, Vermouth athletically vaults up from a dead hanging positioning over the railing of the stairwell to higher ground despite being shot in the side. She also shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Akai, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.

===Shooting===
As Vermouth pulled away in Jodie's car with broken ribs after her flak jacket absorbed a close range shotgun blast, she managed to aim a handgun backwards with her left hand using the side mirror while driving a car she wasn't used to and shoot Araide's car's gas tank standing 100 yards away, causing it to explode. Akai is impressed she managed that difficult shot with her battered body. Earlier however, she failed to draw fast enough to shoot Jodie or Akai; in the first case, the gun was shot out of her hand, in the second, Akai fired first.

==Non-aging==
[[File:Vermouth 20 years ago.png|thumb|right|Vermouth's appearance 20 years before the current timeline.]]
For some reason, Vermouth does not appear to age. Her apparent age hasn’t changed since she murdered Jodie’s parents twenty years ago.<ref name="f433">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> [[Shuichi Akai]] proved that Vermouth was not wearing a mask when his shotgun fire grazed her face. Specifically, it hasn't been clarified if Vermouth hasn't aged over time or if she became younger all at once. It is also important to note that Vermouth's talent for disguise makes it difficult to figure out when Vermouth stopped aging or deaged.

==Plot overview==
===Manga and Anime Timeline===
{{main|Vermouth timeline}}

===Raven Chaser===
In Movie 13: [[The Raven Chaser]], Vermouth disguises as a brown haired policeman in a dark suit with glasses to check on Irish's progress and the integrity of his disguise during the conference. After texting the boss outside the bathroom, she exits the building and leaves in Gin's Porsche 356A.

She is seen again disguising as a young brown-haired woman when trying to come closer to the believed serial killer but leaves as soon as she realizes he is not. [[Conan]] tracks her down in the underground parking lot and makes her reveal herself. She gives Conan essential information about an organization member named [[Irish]] and wishes him good luck when leaving.
It is later revealed that she was the one who supervised the captured [[Matsumoto]] and provided him with comestibles. When the police finds out about Matsumoto's remains, she informs [[Gin]] about it and leaves.
Finally, she is briefly seen driving along the Highway when Gin's helicopter crashes, complimenting Conan's accomplishments and calling him again a "silver bullet".

==Plot Exposition==
===Family History===
[[File:Chris_and_Sharon.png|thumb|right|Chris and Sharon Vineyard]]
In order to camouflage the fact that Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person, Vermouth concocted personal histories for her real life cover roles in order to make them seem like different people. When Sharon and Chris Vineyard were revealed to be one and the same, at least part of the stated Vineyard family history was revealed to be a lie. It is unknown how much of the remainder is truthful, based on the truth, or outright fabrication because the primary source of the information is Vermouth herself who may have more to hide.

Little is known of Sharon Vineyard's mother and father. Sharon's parents were not actors, at least not well known ones, because Agasa called Chris Vineyard a second generation actress.<ref name="f341p8">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 8: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> According to Sharon's story, both her mother and father died in a fire on the day Sharon debuted on screen.<ref name="f351p2">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 2: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref>

So far, Sharon Vineyard's age has not been given and nothing is known about her personal history before she became an actress. Even her fans knew little about her private life even after she became famous.<ref name="f344p9">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 9: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Sharon said her road to stardom was very difficult and full of misfortune, prompting her to doubt the existence of God: "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 18: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Sharon became a star actress<ref name="f350p16">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 16: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> and, according to [[Shuichi Akai]], is best known for her work in the Golden Apple broadway play. [[File:Chris with Veil.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Chris Vineyard coming out into public for the first time - at the funeral of her mother Sharon Vineyard]] At some point, she married and gave birth to her daughter Chris Vineyard. Her husband later died of an unspecified illness the day after Sharon won an Oscar. While studying for an acting role approximately 20 years ago, Sharon learned disguise techniques from [[Toichi Kuroba]] alongside the aspiring young Japanese actress [[Yukiko Kudo]].<ref name="f350p17">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 17: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref><ref>Yukiko started her career while in high-school. Yukiko is 37 currently so the time frame while Yukiko was studying as a beginning actress is approximately 20 years ago when Yukiko was 17 or 18.</ref> During their time together, Yukiko became Sharon's friend, and they have maintained contact with one another. Sharon later sent Yukiko three tickets to Golden Apple broadway production the year before she died. The cause of Sharon's death has not been revealed.

Chris Vineyard meanwhile became a successful actress quickly by riding the coattails of her mother's fame.<ref name="f351p2" /> She began to make movies and give interviews to reporters only, but otherwise she never appeared publicly.<ref name="f344p9" /> The first day she came out into public was the day of her mother's funeral some time less than one year ago.<ref name="f344p9" /> A reporter who tried to question Chris asked where she went to school, whether she got along with her mother, who her father is, and if the rumored lover she has will appear at Sharon's funeral.<ref name="f344p10">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 10: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Chris answered none of these, but the types of questions which were asked demonstrate the secrecy surrounding the Vineyard family history.

Sharon Vineyard and Chris apparently didn't get along; Sharon doesn't consider Chris to be her daughter.<ref name="f351p2" /> Sharon explained this by relaying a tale to Yukiko about Chris who disguised as Sharon's husband and then met with Sharon when she visited her husband's grave to lay flowers.<ref name="f351p3">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 3: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref> Sharon did teach Chris the disguise techniques she learned from Toichi after Chris begged for them.<ref name="f351p3" /> One year prior to the current timeline, Sharon says she hasn't seen Chris in ten years and that she is currently hanging out with a "bad crowd" of people.<ref name="f351p3" />{{clear}}

===Hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not Jodie===
[[File:Jodie mirror pictures.PNG|thumb|right|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images.]]
There were several hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not [[Jodie Saintemillion]] who was also a candidate for being Vermouth before her true identity was revealed.
*The records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases that Vermouth stole did not contain any cases involving [[Jodie Saintemillion]], but did contain the murder case [[Tomoaki Araide]] was involved in. This was the clue that allowed Conan to deduce Araide was Vermouth.
*Jodie's copies of [[Media:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard]] have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures.<ref name="f343p18">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 18: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> This detail was overlooked in the anime. Also, Jodie has a picture of Dr. Araide.
*Araide switches from the basketball to the drama club.<ref name="f270p3">[[Volume 27#File 270 - Game Start|Volume 27, File 270, page 3: "Game Start"]]</ref>
*Haibara skipped school on the day of the yearly health checkups that Dr. Araide gives the elementary school students. Conan wonders if Haibara thinks there is something wrong with Araide.<ref name="f287p3">[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287, page 9: "The Unseen Horror"]]</ref>
*Vermouth falls out of character. One of her patients says Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger.<ref name=355p6>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 6: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> Also, "Dr. Araide" claims to have sent his grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori,<ref name=355p5>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 5: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> which is strange because it was established in the Araide family murder case<ref>[[Volume 24#File 235 - In the Darkness...|Volume 24, Files 235-236: "In the Darkness..."]]</ref> that Araide didn't trust them (especially Hikaru) to take care of themselves.<ref>[[Volume 35#File 355 - Mystery of the Haunted House 1|Volume 35, File 355: "Mystery of the Haunted House 1"]], [[The Truth of the Haunted House|Episode 274: The Truth of the Haunted House]]</ref>

===Jodie's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ===
[[File:Vermouth with little Jodie.png|thumb|right|Seven year old Jodie encounters Vermouth twenty years ago]]
Jodie's father in the FBI was secretly investigating Vermouth twenty years before the current storyline.<ref name="f433" /> That is too young for Chris Vineyard to be in disguise as she is only 29 currently and would be 9 at the time. After Vermouth killed Jodie's father she inadvertently handled Jodie’s father’s glasses barehanded which had fallen off of him and got her fingerprints on them. Unexpectedly, little Jodie came in and saw Vermouth holding the glasses. When Vermouth left after setting the house on fire, she didn't anticipate that Jodie left to get juice, taking her father’s glasses with her and thus preserving her fingerprint. After she discovered Jodie's corpse was not found in the house, Vermouth looked for the girl desperately in order to rectify her mistake, but Jodie had since been put into witness protection.

Jodie suspected Chris Vineyard of being Vermouth when she saw her at Sharon’s funeral. She somehow determined Chris Vineyard’s prints matched those of the glasses. Chris would have been too young to commit a crime 20 years ago, so later Jodie obtained Sharon’s fingerprints and matched those as well. All three matched, proving to Jodie that the three people were one and the same.

===Conan's investigation===
====Conan's discovery Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide====
[[Conan]] suspects [[Pisco]] had help from another [[Black Organization]] member. He looks into [[Chris Vineyard]] and realizes that she is able to disguise herself and may be pretending to be someone close to him. [[Kogoro Mouri]]’s case records were stolen from the police department. Conan realizes [[Tomoaki Araide]] is Vermouth because Vermouth needed the files to testify at the trial properly while in disguise.

[[File:Vermouth_and_Dr._Araide.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Vermouth as Dr. Araide]]
Conan first suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the mourning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. Conan didn't realize that this Black Organization member might be after him or Haibara until after the bus jack case when [[Haibara]] tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is [[Shuichi Akai]] whose behavior seemed suspicious.<ref name="f291p11">[[Volume 29#File 291 - A Tiny Trace|Volume 29, File 291, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"]]</ref> After he recognizes Akai in the P & A case<ref name="f326">[[Volume 32#File 326 - P & A|Volume 32, File 326-328: "P & A"]]</ref>, Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of someone investigating them.<ref name="f332">[[Volume 33#File 332 - Bloody Valentine 2|Volume 33, File 332: "Bloody Valentine 2"]]</ref> Conan doesn't seem to suspect the person Vermouth has replaced, [[Tomoaki Araide|Dr. Araide]], yet because he was willing to use his voice changer in front of him.<ref name="f330">[[Volume 33#File 330 - Sato's Feelings|Volume 33, File 2: "Satou's feelings"]]</ref>

Conan gets his first tangible proof someone is investigating around him when [[Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.<ref name="f336p9">[[Volume 33#File 336 - Clean Scent|Volume 33, File 336, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"]]</ref> He begins to wonder who the target is and suspects Akai may be behind the incident because of the timing. Conan also begins to suspect the English teacher [[Jodie Starling|Jodie Saintemillion]] and Dr. Araide as well because they were also on the bus.<ref name="f343p17">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 17: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> He isn't sure of the motive for taking the records although Conan wonders if someone is trying to lure him out or if the person returned the files because they already knew what Conan would do.<ref name="f336p9">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref>

Conan's idea that Pisco had an accomplice among the other suspects has fully solidified. He has noticed one of the suspects who had a purple handkerchief, [[Chris Vineyard]], hasn't appeared in public since that case, thus Conan believes Chris is the Black Organization accomplice. He asks [[Agasa]] to go onto Chris's fansite and gather information on her past, interests, and habits<ref name="f341p3">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 3: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> and Agasa's investigation corroborates with Conan's deduction.<ref name="f344p9" /> Conan is already aware that Chris Vineyard has disguise abilities and may be in disguise as someone around him.<ref name="f343p17" />

At this point, Conan is still uncertain of Araide, Jodie, and Akai's allegiances. He learns from [[Ran]] that Shuichi Akai was seen with a man in an [[FBI]] jacket during the New York case, causing Conan to wonder if the FBI is in Japan for some reason or the Black Organization infiltrated the American law enforcement.<ref name="f380p5">[[Volume 37#File 380 - White Snow... Black Shadow...|Volume 37, File 380, pages 5-6: "White Snow... Black Shadow..."]]</ref> Conan begins to take precautions around Dr. Araide and Jodie by lying to them in order to minimize contact and information they have about Haibara.<ref name="f420">[[Volume 41#File 420 - The Enclosing Surrounding Net|Volume 41, File 420: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net"]]</ref><ref name="f422">[[Volume 41#File 422 - Inescapable Target|Volume 41, File 422: "Inescapable Target"]]</ref> However, Jodie and Dr. Araide both go over to Agasa's house and plant listening devices because Conan failed to communicate his suspicion and plans to Agasa.<ref name="f422" />

By the time Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he has realized that Vermouth is most likely Dr. Araide because Jodie wasn't in Mouri's case files when they were stolen, while Araide was. Vermouth needed the files to give proper testimony at the trial and to act correctly as Araide. Vermouth puts her plan to capture Haibara into action by calling Agasa's house as Dr. Araide saying he wants to take Haibara to a hospital because her cough hasn't gotten better.<ref name="f430p9">[[Volume 42#File 430 - The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood|Volume 42, File 430, page 9: "The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood"]]</ref> Conan is still unsure of Jodie's allegiance until she answers the door before Dr. Araide arrives. Jodie lies to "Haibara" (who is really Conan in disguise) saying that Dr. Araide's car has broken down and she has come in his place.<ref name="f431p3">[[Volume 42#File 431 - The Invisible Man Enters!|Volume 42, File 431, page 3: "The Invisible Man Enters!"]]</ref> Conan catches the lie and realizes that Jodie has been listening to the bugs as well and is acting to protect Haibara, meaning she is against Vermouth. Armed with this info, he asks Jodie to force the truth from Vermouth, and in return he will trust her.<ref name="f432p4">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 4: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

Conan tells Jodie the true scenario of Dr. Araide's family murder case.<ref name="f433p11">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433, page 11: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> Tomoaki Araide’s father, Yoshiteru Araide, was killed in his bathtub via electrocution. The murder was masterminded by Yoshiteru Araide's second wife, Yoko Araide. She caused a blackout to occur while she was supposedly on the phone, and during the ensuing darkness, snuck to the bathroom and put an electric shaver in the bathtub. She then crept back and asked the housemaid [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] to flip the circuit breaker, causing Yoshiteru Araide to be electrocuted. "Sleeping Kogoro", the police, and the criminal decided to create a false investigation record to protect the conscience of the maid Hikaru. Jodie used this to her advantage and forced Vermouth to reveal that she didn't know the true sequence of events.<ref name="f432p11">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 11: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

====Conan's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person====
[[File:Vermouth protecting Conan.png|thumb|right|Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide protects Conan on the hijacked bus. This action puzzled Conan until he realized he had unknowingly saved Vermouth in New York city one year before.]]
At the same time Shinichi and Ran were in New York City, Vermouth disguised as a silver-haired serial killer in order to lure out [[Shuichi Akai]]. Later, Conan suspected the serial killer may have been someone in disguise when he heard that the serial killer’s blood and fingerprints on the stair rails were cleaned up, an action uncharacteristic for someone intending to commit suicide. Sharon was the only person Conan knew about in the local area with high disguise abilities, so suspicion naturally fell onto her.

After Vermouth disguised as Araide, Conan deduced from the way Vermouth was behaving that she was trying to avoid involving Conan in her plan and was only targeting Haibara. Vermouth as Dr. Araide risked her life to protect Conan in the bus jack case and helped him out in Sato's matchup case. When Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he realizes that Vermouth's intentions are to only trap Haibara and that Vermouth is trying to lure Conan to the party to avoid catching him up in her plan.

Conan who didn't exist a year ago has no reason to be “protected” by Vermouth. Conan deduces Vermouth must know his identity as Shinichi and the reason for her “protection” must have to do with something he did as Shinichi. However, Sharon was the only one Shinichi had a connection with, and she is apparently dead. Sharon’s daughter Chris has never met Shinichi and is estranged from Sharon Vineyard so she alone doesn't have an adequate motive to protect Shinichi. Also, it wouldn’t make sense for Chris Vineyard, who isn’t a family friend like Sharon, to be able to recognize Shinichi as Conan; presumably Vermouth saw young Shinichi with Yukiko when she was Sharon.

All these clues come together when Conan makes the assumption that Sharon Vineyard is Chris Vineyard who disguised as the silver haired serial killer in New York and that she is grateful for being rescued by [[Shinichi]] and [[Ran]].<ref name="f429p9">[[Volume 42#File 429 - The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet|Volume 42, File 429, page 9: "The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet"]]. After Conan tells Agasa that Vermouth probably knows who they are, Agasa asks "If they know that much, why haven't they come here to kill you?". Conan's response is, "I don't know the reason, but... but I think I at least know one of the causes."</ref>

== Speculation ==
=== Vermouth's true age ===
Vermouth's age is unknown because her history is largely unclear. We know she has lived as Chris who is 29, and as Sharon whose age is unknown. Her face when she killed Jodie's father 20 years was youthful, suggesting she is currently at least 40 years old as long as no deaging has occurred.

===Vermouth did not use [[APTX 4869]]===
A popular theory on Vermouth's non-aging is that she used [[APTX 4869]] to achieve her youthfulness since this is the only known substance capable of producing such an effect ([[Silver Bullet]]'s effects are unknown at this point). However, at present there are things that contradict such a notion. Vermouth would have faced near certain death if she had used APTX 4869.<ref name=V2/> Before Vermouth discovered Haibara and Conan, the known members of the Black Organization (besides Sherry) only knew about APTX 4869's lethal effects,<ref>Sherry did not report the results that several of her mice shrank to the greater organization because they have not been able to figure out how Shiho managed to escape the locked room. If Shiho had reported her data, the Organization would have known that shrinking was a possible side effect of APTX 4869 and would have figured out how she escaped and begun looking for a child. Furthermore, if Shiho had reported to the Organization that APTX 4869 had the possibility of leaving the victim alive, the Boss and/or Shiho's superiors would not have permitted the drug in situations where the victim, if surviving, could escape as in Shinichi's case.</ref> and it was considered deadly enough that Sherry's superiors employed it as an untraceable murder weapon.<ref name=V2>Gin described APTX 4869 as a poison before using it on Shinichi, "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff..." (V1-1 pg 37) Haibara also mentions that it was used on a number of other people, "Of all the people who took the drug, only your death hadn't been confirmed yet." (V18-9 pg 6 The Org took great pains to ensure the people APTX4869 was used on were dead, evidenced when they sent Shiho out to investigate Shinichi's case twice to confirm his death. (V18-9 pg 6) Additionally, Gin gave the OK for it to be employed in a time sensitive assassination where failure would be unacceptable: "Anyway, our superior has ordered us to kill him before he rats us out. Don't screw up, Pisco! If there is any complication, you can use the 'experimental drug' [APTX 4869]" (V24-7 pg 17) If the boss, who has been stated to be cautious to a fault, knew about the risk that someone might survive APTX 4869, he would not let his subordinates use the drug without letting them know there was a chance it would leave people alive because, if someone escaped, they could talk to the police or someone else and leak the secret of the Black Organization's existence. If Gin knew it failed to work some of the time, he would have never left Shinichi alone while it acted, and would have also gone looking for him after his body disappeared if that was the case. Even Shiho Miyano who was aware APTX 4869 could rarely cause de-aging expected it to kill her. "I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8) Finally, Shiho makes it clear the Organization is not simply trying APTX 4869 out on victims, they are actively using it to kill. "If I reported your condition to the Organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." (V18-9 pg 7) Even though Shinichi was an "interesting specimen" (V18-9 pg 7), if the Org was field testing, they would try to capture Shinichi alive for study. Shiho was still project manager when use on humans began and when Shinichi was poisoned, so she would know the Organization's protocol should someone fail to die.</ref> However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series,<ref>"No angel has smiled upon me", "My life represents a series of misfortunes" (V35-1 pg 2)</ref> it is possible Vermouth took APTX 4869 hoping to commit suicide, but she de-aged instead, similar to Haibara's situation<ref>"I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8)</ref>. Vermouth could have also gambled on taking APTX 4869 after she recognized the deaged Shiho and Shinichi and then discovered that APTX 4869 was the common connection between them and likely cause of their conditions. However, both the suicide scenario (if it occurred while Shiho was working on the drug) and the gambling scenario fail to explain why no one in the Black Organization has questioned why Vermouth has become younger, especially after Gin saw her true face following the Haunted Ship case<ref>Akai's shotgun fire struck Vermouth's face and wounded it which made it apparent she wasn't wearing a mask and thus that was her true face. Vermouth was picked up by Gin in a telephone booth and he would have noticed her facial injury as well.</ref>, and then connected that with APTX 4869 use and Sherry's mysterious escape from the handcuffs and locked room. <br />
It is possible that Atsushi and Elena Miyano had something to do with Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging (e.g. Vermouth was their guinea pig). This might explain the personal animosity Vermouth feels towards the Miyanos and why she calls their APTX experiment foolish.

Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging may be a result of a project older than Shiho's APTX 4869, like her parents' [[Silver Bullet]], or something else even older than that. This would explain why none of the other members of the Black Organization suspect that APTX 4869 can also cause this effect and thus are unaware of the possibility Shiho de-aged to escape.

==Relationships analysis==
=== Family & Friends ===
[[File:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|thumb|right|125px|Vermouth with Yukiko approximately 20 years ago.]]
==== Yukiko Kudo ====
Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization.

=== Black Organization ===
[[File:Vermouth_provoking_Gin.png|thumb|right|125px|Vermouth teases Gin with a disguise.]]
==== Gin ====
Vermouth and [[Gin]] are or were in a sexual relationship with one another.<ref name="CD239a">Conan Drill page 239, "肉体関係" (sexual relations)</ref> They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Vermouth and Gin trusted one another, but some of Gin's trust may have disappeared as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her intentions.<ref name="CD239b">Conan Drill page 239, "同僚・信頼" (Colleagues Trusted)</ref> Gin doesn't mind threatening her with bodily harm, he nearly stabbed her through the head with an icepick on one occasion when she teased him disguised as a waiter, and he later pointed his gun at her when asking how she was connected with Kogoro. She doesn't seem especially bothered by any of these threats however. Because Vermouth is a high ranking member and the boss's favorite, she isn't scared of provoking the other agents, not even Gin who is extremely dangerous and sensitive. She smiled after moving her head to avoid Gin's deadly sweep with an icepick telling him that "She was just joking" which shows that she enjoys teasing him.

[[File:Vermouth_episode_230.png|thumb|125px|right|Vermouth terrifies Haibara.]]

==== Sherry ====
Vermouth and [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Vermouth appears to dislike the research the Miyanos engaged in, calling it foolish. Shiho fears Vermouth more than most other members except perhaps Gin. Shiho was Vermouth's target, but Vermouth gave up on her after Conan's intervention. If Shiho was in a romantic relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a sexual relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref> During the Bell Tree Express arc, Vermouth tries to use C4 explosives to kill Sherry without telling anyone about the plan, while Bourbon wanted to take her back alive hinting at an abnormal hatred towards her.

==== Calvados ====
[[Calvados]] was in love with Vermouth, and Vermouth took advantage of his feelings and used him. Vermouth called on Calvados to aid her in disposing with Jodie and capturing Haibara at the shipping yards. After Akai got the best of Calvados and Vermouth, she chose to run away, leaving him at the mercy of the FBI. Calvados chose to commit suicide rather than be caught.

==== Chianti and Korn ====
[[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] both hate Vermouth because they believe that Vermouth took advantage of Calvados' feelings for her and used him, leading him to his death. Chianti has been more vocal with her hatred than Korn.

==== Pisco ====
Although Vermouth and [[Pisco]] are executive members, Vermouth dislikes and looks down on Pisco despite cooperating with him.<ref name="CD239d">Conan Drill page 239, 見下す (despise look down on}</ref>

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]] worked with Vermouth on a plan to determine if [[Shuichi Akai]] was really dead. She made [[Scar Akai|masks that looked like Akai's face with a scar]] for him so he could approach Akai's friends and colleagues to see their reactions to him. She also interfered with his plans to capture Sherry alive by rigging the location Amuro intended to trap Sherry in with explosives to kill her.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Jodie Starling ====
[[Jodie Starling]] has a bitter hatred for Vermouth because Vermouth murdered her father, but Vermouth doesn't have any particular animosity for Jodie beyond her being a skilled FBI adversary whom she would like to kill. Jodie thinks Vermouth is an entirely evil person. Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to students and patients while disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], so when the real Araide wonders if Vermouth is really a bad person, Jodie takes offense and angrily yells at him, "How can someone be a good person if she kills people with a smile!?"<ref>Manga Volume 45, File 2, pg 18: "The truth behind the remaining desk"</ref>

20 years before the current timeline, Vermouth goes to the house of Jodie's father, an FBI agent, and kills him. An eight to nine year old [[Jodie Starling]] walks in while Vermouth was trying to put his glasses back on his body and thinks her father is asleep. Vermouth tells her that she should wait for her father to wake up. When the girl asks her who is she, Vermouth replies "A secret makes a woman, woman". Vermouth burns the house down, thinking Jodie stayed behind and was killed as well. However, the girl goes out of the house to buy orange juice for her father, narrowly escaping death. She also takes her father's glasses with her, preserving the fingerprints Vermouth left on them. When Vermouth finds out Jodie's body was not in the house, she looks for her to kill her, but the FBI enrolled her in witness protection. Jodie later becomes an FBI agent in order to find her father's killer.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Vermouth and [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]] don't have much personal animosity for each other in particular despite the fact that they have been hunting one another for some time. Vermouth regards Akai as a "silver bullet": someone with the potential to destroy the Black Organization. In accordance with this assessment, she attacks him immediately and preferentially in the confrontation with her at the docks. Akai seems to hit a nerve when he called her a rotten apple, wilted on the inside.

==== Kir ====
She suspected [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] is a member of the CIA though she didn't tell anyone about it.

=== Others ===
[[File:Vermouth_dartboard.PNG|thumb|150px|right|Vermouth's dartboard. Conan's picture has "Cool guy" written on it while Ran's says "Angel."]]
==== Shinichi Kudo ====
After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] helped Ran save Vermouth's life in New York while she was disguised as a serial killer, she nicknames him "Cool guy". Later in the series, after [[Conan]] successfully interfered with Vermouth's plan of killing [[Haibara]], then almost forced her to surrender and take him to find [[The Boss of the Black Organization|the boss]], she gives him another nickname - "Silver bullet" - as she believes that he has the potential to destroy the Black Organization, because he could touch her heart. Generally, Vermouth tries to protect Shinichi when she is able to, even if it means risking her own life. Although Shinichi found out later that he unknowingly rescued Vermouth in New York City and that Vermouth was a friend of Yukiko's, Shinichi doesn't understand why Vermouth would make the promise to give up on hunting Sherry and not inform the Black Organization about Haibara and himself.

==== Ran Mouri ====
After Ran saved Vermouth's life in New York City, Vermouth nicknames [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] "Angel". Earlier, Vermouth, as her Sharon Vineyard role, complained that her life was a series of misfortunes and, "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18" /> Even though Vermouth in disguise prepared to kill Ran later, Ran stopped Vermouth from taking a fatal fall. Vermouth was touched by this act of kindness. Much later in the story when Ran shielded Haibara from gunfire with her body, Vermouth refused to shoot Ran or allow her to be shot, instead firing around her in an attempt to frighten Ran into releasing Haibara. Although Ran does not know who Vermouth really is, she values the handkerchief that Sharon Vineyard gave her back in New York.

'''{{nihongo|Vermouth|ベルモット|Berumotto}}''', also known as '''{{nihongo|Sharon Vineyard|シャロン・ヴィンヤード|Sharon Vinyādo}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Chris Vineyard|クリス・ヴィンヤード|Kurisu Vinyādo}}''', is a member of the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Vermouth's background is very mysterious. She was friends with [[Yukiko Kudo]] back when they were acting together under the name Sharon Vineyard and studied under [[Kuroba Toichi]], but she was even then secretly a member of the [[Black Organization]]. It is unknown for exactly how long she has been a member, but it is known that she had been secretly living at least two lives through the art of disguise: that of herself and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard. After staging Sharon Vineyard's death, she now lives as "Chris" and continues to serve the Black Organization. At one point, some twenty years ago, she killed the parents of a little girl who would become the FBI agent [[Jodie Starling]], one of her most bitter enemies.

Vermouth is [[Anokata|the boss]]’s favorite which grants her some independence. She also appears not to age or have de-aged over a period of twenty years between when she killed Jodie's parents and her current appearance. She doesn’t seem to like the research that Ai and her parents engaged in, calling it “foolish". <ref>[[Volume 42#File 434 - Rotten Apple|Volume 42, File 434: "Rotten Apple"]]</ref>

Vermouth entered the storyline some time after [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano/Sherry/Ai Haibara]]'s mysterious flight from the Organization. Her main objective was to track down and eliminate the 'traitor', and for that purpose she assumed the identity of doctor [[Tomoaki Araide]]. But although she managed to discover Shiho's reversion into a child, she did not succeed in killing her, as she met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was able to discover and thwart her plans. She also encountered the FBI during this process.

Vermouth has great personal interest in Conan, constantly calling him "[[Silver Bullet]]". Since it has been revealed that she knows about Ai and Kudo's reversion to their child forms, she seems to know the shrinking effect the drug can have, but for reasons yet unrevealed she keeps this knowledge secret from the rest of the Organization.

== Personality ==
Although she follows orders from [[Anokata|the boss]] and [[Gin]] when he is charge of missions, Vermouth often acts according to her own agenda and whims, even when it runs contrary to the [[Black Organization]]'s best interests. She is secretive and manipulative, even towards other Organization members. Vermouth is confident in her abilities, is very bold, and an expert at manipulating situations to her advantage: traits which allow her to single-handedly weave complex plots and take the upper hand even while she is being monitored by enemies. She is intelligent and insightful, correctly suspecting the allegiance of Kir, but she was successfully outwitted by [[Conan]] and forced by [[Shuichi Akai]] to retreat.

[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|left|Vermouth teases Gin and Vodka by disguising as a waiter.]]
Vermouth's personality is contradictory at times. On one hand, she is a cruel and ruthless agent who will blackmail an unwilling man to commit murder by threatening him and his family just to provide a distraction and happily tell [[Jodie Starling|an FBI agent]] she should smile because she will see her dead father again in heaven. On the other hand, she risks her life several times to protect Conan, [[Ran]], and [[Kogoro]], and her friendly behavior while in disguise as Tomoaki Araide left the real Araide wondering if Vermouth is really a bad person. This inconsistency may reflect an underlying conflict of conscience after [[Shinichi]] and Ran saved her life during the events of the [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354_Anime:_286-288.29|Golden Apple case]].

At this point, Vermouth's motives are very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. It is frequently implied that Vermouth does not approve with the Organization's plans and is willing to quit, but fears the consequences of doing so openly. She is frequently shown to hold hopes that Conan is the 'silver bullet' that will eventually stop the Organization. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (as the son of [[Yukiko Kudo|her best friend]]) and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].<ref name="e288">[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, Part 3]].</ref> As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.

She may enjoy teasing others, seen when she disguised as a male waiter and served Gin and Vodka martinis and taunted Chianti by wishing her good luck and blowing her a kiss.<ref>[[Volume 49#File 501 - Follow the Target!|Volume 49, File 501, page 7: "Follow the Target!"]]</ref>
{{clearleft}}

==Abilities==
===Disguise===
[[File:Vermouth_taking_off_Araide's_mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes a latex mask.]]
Vermouth is able to mimic anyone's appearance and voice exactly with her disguise and acting skills even after observing them for only a short period of time. Vermouth frequently utilizes latex masks. Although she may have known how to disguise prior to meeting [[Toichi Kuroba]], she studied disguise under him. Her disguise ability was first shown in [[The Mysterious Passenger]]<ref>[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287: "The Unseen Horror"]], [[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 230: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref> where she dressed as a male waiter to tease [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].

===Reconnaissance===
Vermouth specializes in reconnaissance and infiltration, and has been shown to work very swiftly yet cautiously to rapidly acquire information. Her confidence and skill in disguise and imitation means she can execute bold plans that put her in very close contact with her targets and she can advance her plot even when they are suspicious of her. Without the aid of the other organization members, Vermouth successfully snuck into the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police headquarters]] in order to steal the records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases. She later returned them when presumably the surveillance would be even higher after the police noticed the files were missing. She then single-handedly staked out the [[FBI]] who were lured out into watching Kogoro Mouri and uncovered their numbers, addresses, and ways to contact them.

===Stamina===
Vermouth is quite strong and has developed a high pain tolerance. While she was disguised as a serial killer in New York City, Vermouth athletically vaults up from a dead hanging positioning over the railing of the stairwell to higher ground despite being shot in the side. She also shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Akai, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.

===Shooting===
As Vermouth pulled away in Jodie's car with broken ribs after her flak jacket absorbed a close range shotgun blast, she managed to aim a handgun backwards with her left hand using the side mirror while driving a car she wasn't used to and shoot Araide's car's gas tank standing 100 yards away, causing it to explode. Akai is impressed she managed that difficult shot with her battered body. Earlier however, she failed to draw fast enough to shoot Jodie or Akai; in the first case, the gun was shot out of her hand, in the second, Akai fired first.

==Non-aging==
[[File:Vermouth 20 years ago.png|thumb|right|Vermouth's appearance 20 years before the current timeline.]]
For some reason, Vermouth does not appear to age. Her apparent age hasn’t changed since she murdered Jodie’s parents twenty years ago.<ref name="f433">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> [[Shuichi Akai]] proved that Vermouth was not wearing a mask when his shotgun fire grazed her face. Specifically, it hasn't been clarified if Vermouth hasn't aged over time or if she became younger all at once. It is also important to note that Vermouth's talent for disguise makes it difficult to figure out when Vermouth stopped aging or deaged.

==Plot overview==
===Manga and Anime Timeline===
{{main|Vermouth timeline}}

===Raven Chaser===
In Movie 13: [[The Raven Chaser]], Vermouth disguises as a brown haired policeman in a dark suit with glasses to check on Irish's progress and the integrity of his disguise during the conference. After texting the boss outside the bathroom, she exits the building and leaves in Gin's Porsche 356A.

She is seen again disguising as a young brown-haired woman when trying to come closer to the believed serial killer but leaves as soon as she realizes he is not. [[Conan]] tracks her down in the underground parking lot and makes her reveal herself. She gives Conan essential information about an organization member named [[Irish]] and wishes him good luck when leaving.
It is later revealed that she was the one who supervised the captured [[Matsumoto]] and provided him with comestibles. When the police finds out about Matsumoto's remains, she informs [[Gin]] about it and leaves.
Finally, she is briefly seen driving along the Highway when Gin's helicopter crashes, complimenting Conan's accomplishments and calling him again a "silver bullet".

==Plot Exposition==
===Family History===
[[File:Chris_and_Sharon.png|thumb|right|Chris and Sharon Vineyard]]
In order to camouflage the fact that Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person, Vermouth concocted personal histories for her real life cover roles in order to make them seem like different people. When Sharon and Chris Vineyard were revealed to be one and the same, at least part of the stated Vineyard family history was revealed to be a lie. It is unknown how much of the remainder is truthful, based on the truth, or outright fabrication because the primary source of the information is Vermouth herself who may have more to hide.

Little is known of Sharon Vineyard's mother and father. Sharon's parents were not actors, at least not well known ones, because Agasa called Chris Vineyard a second generation actress.<ref name="f341p8">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 8: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> According to Sharon's story, both her mother and father died in a fire on the day Sharon debuted on screen.<ref name="f351p2">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 2: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref>

So far, Sharon Vineyard's age has not been given and nothing is known about her personal history before she became an actress. Even her fans knew little about her private life even after she became famous.<ref name="f344p9">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 9: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Sharon said her road to stardom was very difficult and full of misfortune, prompting her to doubt the existence of God: "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 18: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Sharon became a star actress<ref name="f350p16">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 16: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> and, according to [[Shuichi Akai]], is best known for her work in the Golden Apple broadway play. [[File:Chris with Veil.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Chris Vineyard coming out into public for the first time - at the funeral of her mother Sharon Vineyard]] At some point, she married and gave birth to her daughter Chris Vineyard. Her husband later died of an unspecified illness the day after Sharon won an Oscar. While studying for an acting role approximately 20 years ago, Sharon learned disguise techniques from [[Toichi Kuroba]] alongside the aspiring young Japanese actress [[Yukiko Kudo]].<ref name="f350p17">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 17: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref><ref>Yukiko started her career while in high-school. Yukiko is 37 currently so the time frame while Yukiko was studying as a beginning actress is approximately 20 years ago when Yukiko was 17 or 18.</ref> During their time together, Yukiko became Sharon's friend, and they have maintained contact with one another. Sharon later sent Yukiko three tickets to Golden Apple broadway production the year before she died. The cause of Sharon's death has not been revealed.

Chris Vineyard meanwhile became a successful actress quickly by riding the coattails of her mother's fame.<ref name="f351p2" /> She began to make movies and give interviews to reporters only, but otherwise she never appeared publicly.<ref name="f344p9" /> The first day she came out into public was the day of her mother's funeral some time less than one year ago.<ref name="f344p9" /> A reporter who tried to question Chris asked where she went to school, whether she got along with her mother, who her father is, and if the rumored lover she has will appear at Sharon's funeral.<ref name="f344p10">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 10: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Chris answered none of these, but the types of questions which were asked demonstrate the secrecy surrounding the Vineyard family history.

Sharon Vineyard and Chris apparently didn't get along; Sharon doesn't consider Chris to be her daughter.<ref name="f351p2" /> Sharon explained this by relaying a tale to Yukiko about Chris who disguised as Sharon's husband and then met with Sharon when she visited her husband's grave to lay flowers.<ref name="f351p3">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 3: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref> Sharon did teach Chris the disguise techniques she learned from Toichi after Chris begged for them.<ref name="f351p3" /> One year prior to the current timeline, Sharon says she hasn't seen Chris in ten years and that she is currently hanging out with a "bad crowd" of people.<ref name="f351p3" />{{clear}}

===Hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not Jodie===
[[File:Jodie mirror pictures.PNG|thumb|right|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images.]]
There were several hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not [[Jodie Saintemillion]] who was also a candidate for being Vermouth before her true identity was revealed.
*The records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases that Vermouth stole did not contain any cases involving [[Jodie Saintemillion]], but did contain the murder case [[Tomoaki Araide]] was involved in. This was the clue that allowed Conan to deduce Araide was Vermouth.
*Jodie's copies of [[Media:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard]] have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures.<ref name="f343p18">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 18: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> This detail was overlooked in the anime. Also, Jodie has a picture of Dr. Araide.
*Araide switches from the basketball to the drama club.<ref name="f270p3">[[Volume 27#File 270 - Game Start|Volume 27, File 270, page 3: "Game Start"]]</ref>
*Haibara skipped school on the day of the yearly health checkups that Dr. Araide gives the elementary school students. Conan wonders if Haibara thinks there is something wrong with Araide.<ref name="f287p3">[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287, page 9: "The Unseen Horror"]]</ref>
*Vermouth falls out of character. One of her patients says Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger.<ref name=355p6>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 6: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> Also, "Dr. Araide" claims to have sent his grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori,<ref name=355p5>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 5: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> which is strange because it was established in the Araide family murder case<ref>[[Volume 24#File 235 - In the Darkness...|Volume 24, Files 235-236: "In the Darkness..."]]</ref> that Araide didn't trust them (especially Hikaru) to take care of themselves.<ref>[[Volume 35#File 355 - Mystery of the Haunted House 1|Volume 35, File 355: "Mystery of the Haunted House 1"]], [[The Truth of the Haunted House|Episode 274: The Truth of the Haunted House]]</ref>

===Jodie's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ===
[[File:Vermouth with little Jodie.png|thumb|right|Seven year old Jodie encounters Vermouth twenty years ago]]
Jodie's father in the FBI was secretly investigating Vermouth twenty years before the current storyline.<ref name="f433" /> That is too young for Chris Vineyard to be in disguise as she is only 29 currently and would be 9 at the time. After Vermouth killed Jodie's father she inadvertently handled Jodie’s father’s glasses barehanded which had fallen off of him and got her fingerprints on them. Unexpectedly, little Jodie came in and saw Vermouth holding the glasses. When Vermouth left after setting the house on fire, she didn't anticipate that Jodie left to get juice, taking her father’s glasses with her and thus preserving her fingerprint. After she discovered Jodie's corpse was not found in the house, Vermouth looked for the girl desperately in order to rectify her mistake, but Jodie had since been put into witness protection.

Jodie suspected Chris Vineyard of being Vermouth when she saw her at Sharon’s funeral. She somehow determined Chris Vineyard’s prints matched those of the glasses. Chris would have been too young to commit a crime 20 years ago, so later Jodie obtained Sharon’s fingerprints and matched those as well. All three matched, proving to Jodie that the three people were one and the same.

===Conan's investigation===
====Conan's discovery Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide====
[[Conan]] suspects [[Pisco]] had help from another [[Black Organization]] member. He looks into [[Chris Vineyard]] and realizes that she is able to disguise herself and may be pretending to be someone close to him. [[Kogoro Mouri]]’s case records were stolen from the police department. Conan realizes [[Tomoaki Araide]] is Vermouth because Vermouth needed the files to testify at the trial properly while in disguise.

[[File:Vermouth_and_Dr._Araide.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Vermouth as Dr. Araide]]
Conan first suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the mourning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. Conan didn't realize that this Black Organization member might be after him or Haibara until after the bus jack case when [[Haibara]] tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is [[Shuichi Akai]] whose behavior seemed suspicious.<ref name="f291p11">[[Volume 29#File 291 - A Tiny Trace|Volume 29, File 291, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"]]</ref> After he recognizes Akai in the P & A case<ref name="f326">[[Volume 32#File 326 - P & A|Volume 32, File 326-328: "P & A"]]</ref>, Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of someone investigating them.<ref name="f332">[[Volume 33#File 332 - Bloody Valentine 2|Volume 33, File 332: "Bloody Valentine 2"]]</ref> Conan doesn't seem to suspect the person Vermouth has replaced, [[Tomoaki Araide|Dr. Araide]], yet because he was willing to use his voice changer in front of him.<ref name="f330">[[Volume 33#File 330 - Sato's Feelings|Volume 33, File 2: "Satou's feelings"]]</ref>

Conan gets his first tangible proof someone is investigating around him when [[Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.<ref name="f336p9">[[Volume 33#File 336 - Clean Scent|Volume 33, File 336, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"]]</ref> He begins to wonder who the target is and suspects Akai may be behind the incident because of the timing. Conan also begins to suspect the English teacher [[Jodie Starling|Jodie Saintemillion]] and Dr. Araide as well because they were also on the bus.<ref name="f343p17">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 17: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> He isn't sure of the motive for taking the records although Conan wonders if someone is trying to lure him out or if the person returned the files because they already knew what Conan would do.<ref name="f336p9">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref>

Conan's idea that Pisco had an accomplice among the other suspects has fully solidified. He has noticed one of the suspects who had a purple handkerchief, [[Chris Vineyard]], hasn't appeared in public since that case, thus Conan believes Chris is the Black Organization accomplice. He asks [[Agasa]] to go onto Chris's fansite and gather information on her past, interests, and habits<ref name="f341p3">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 3: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> and Agasa's investigation corroborates with Conan's deduction.<ref name="f344p9" /> Conan is already aware that Chris Vineyard has disguise abilities and may be in disguise as someone around him.<ref name="f343p17" />

At this point, Conan is still uncertain of Araide, Jodie, and Akai's allegiances. He learns from [[Ran]] that Shuichi Akai was seen with a man in an [[FBI]] jacket during the New York case, causing Conan to wonder if the FBI is in Japan for some reason or the Black Organization infiltrated the American law enforcement.<ref name="f380p5">[[Volume 37#File 380 - White Snow... Black Shadow...|Volume 37, File 380, pages 5-6: "White Snow... Black Shadow..."]]</ref> Conan begins to take precautions around Dr. Araide and Jodie by lying to them in order to minimize contact and information they have about Haibara.<ref name="f420">[[Volume 41#File 420 - The Enclosing Surrounding Net|Volume 41, File 420: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net"]]</ref><ref name="f422">[[Volume 41#File 422 - Inescapable Target|Volume 41, File 422: "Inescapable Target"]]</ref> However, Jodie and Dr. Araide both go over to Agasa's house and plant listening devices because Conan failed to communicate his suspicion and plans to Agasa.<ref name="f422" />

By the time Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he has realized that Vermouth is most likely Dr. Araide because Jodie wasn't in Mouri's case files when they were stolen, while Araide was. Vermouth needed the files to give proper testimony at the trial and to act correctly as Araide. Vermouth puts her plan to capture Haibara into action by calling Agasa's house as Dr. Araide saying he wants to take Haibara to a hospital because her cough hasn't gotten better.<ref name="f430p9">[[Volume 42#File 430 - The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood|Volume 42, File 430, page 9: "The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood"]]</ref> Conan is still unsure of Jodie's allegiance until she answers the door before Dr. Araide arrives. Jodie lies to "Haibara" (who is really Conan in disguise) saying that Dr. Araide's car has broken down and she has come in his place.<ref name="f431p3">[[Volume 42#File 431 - The Invisible Man Enters!|Volume 42, File 431, page 3: "The Invisible Man Enters!"]]</ref> Conan catches the lie and realizes that Jodie has been listening to the bugs as well and is acting to protect Haibara, meaning she is against Vermouth. Armed with this info, he asks Jodie to force the truth from Vermouth, and in return he will trust her.<ref name="f432p4">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 4: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

Conan tells Jodie the true scenario of Dr. Araide's family murder case.<ref name="f433p11">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433, page 11: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> Tomoaki Araide’s father, Yoshiteru Araide, was killed in his bathtub via electrocution. The murder was masterminded by Yoshiteru Araide's second wife, Yoko Araide. She caused a blackout to occur while she was supposedly on the phone, and during the ensuing darkness, snuck to the bathroom and put an electric shaver in the bathtub. She then crept back and asked the housemaid [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] to flip the circuit breaker, causing Yoshiteru Araide to be electrocuted. "Sleeping Kogoro", the police, and the criminal decided to create a false investigation record to protect the conscience of the maid Hikaru. Jodie used this to her advantage and forced Vermouth to reveal that she didn't know the true sequence of events.<ref name="f432p11">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 11: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

====Conan's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person====
[[File:Vermouth protecting Conan.png|thumb|right|Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide protects Conan on the hijacked bus. This action puzzled Conan until he realized he had unknowingly saved Vermouth in New York city one year before.]]
At the same time Shinichi and Ran were in New York City, Vermouth disguised as a silver-haired serial killer in order to lure out [[Shuichi Akai]]. Later, Conan suspected the serial killer may have been someone in disguise when he heard that the serial killer’s blood and fingerprints on the stair rails were cleaned up, an action uncharacteristic for someone intending to commit suicide. Sharon was the only person Conan knew about in the local area with high disguise abilities, so suspicion naturally fell onto her.

After Vermouth disguised as Araide, Conan deduced from the way Vermouth was behaving that she was trying to avoid involving Conan in her plan and was only targeting Haibara. Vermouth as Dr. Araide risked her life to protect Conan in the bus jack case and helped him out in Sato's matchup case. When Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he realizes that Vermouth's intentions are to only trap Haibara and that Vermouth is trying to lure Conan to the party to avoid catching him up in her plan.

Conan who didn't exist a year ago has no reason to be “protected” by Vermouth. Conan deduces Vermouth must know his identity as Shinichi and the reason for her “protection” must have to do with something he did as Shinichi. However, Sharon was the only one Shinichi had a connection with, and she is apparently dead. Sharon’s daughter Chris has never met Shinichi and is estranged from Sharon Vineyard so she alone doesn't have an adequate motive to protect Shinichi. Also, it wouldn’t make sense for Chris Vineyard, who isn’t a family friend like Sharon, to be able to recognize Shinichi as Conan; presumably Vermouth saw young Shinichi with Yukiko when she was Sharon.

All these clues come together when Conan makes the assumption that Sharon Vineyard is Chris Vineyard who disguised as the silver haired serial killer in New York and that she is grateful for being rescued by [[Shinichi]] and [[Ran]].<ref name="f429p9">[[Volume 42#File 429 - The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet|Volume 42, File 429, page 9: "The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet"]]. After Conan tells Agasa that Vermouth probably knows who they are, Agasa asks "If they know that much, why haven't they come here to kill you?". Conan's response is, "I don't know the reason, but... but I think I at least know one of the causes."</ref>

== Speculation ==
=== Vermouth's true age ===
Vermouth's age is unknown because her history is largely unclear. We know she has lived as Chris who is 29, and as Sharon whose age is unknown. Her face when she killed Jodie's father 20 years was youthful, suggesting she is currently at least 40 years old as long as no deaging has occurred.

===Vermouth did not use [[APTX 4869]]===
A popular theory on Vermouth's non-aging is that she used [[APTX 4869]] to achieve her youthfulness since this is the only known substance capable of producing such an effect ([[Silver Bullet]]'s effects are unknown at this point). However, at present there are things that contradict such a notion. Vermouth would have faced near certain death if she had used APTX 4869.<ref name=V2/> Before Vermouth discovered Haibara and Conan, the known members of the Black Organization (besides Sherry) only knew about APTX 4869's lethal effects,<ref>Sherry did not report the results that several of her mice shrank to the greater organization because they have not been able to figure out how Shiho managed to escape the locked room. If Shiho had reported her data, the Organization would have known that shrinking was a possible side effect of APTX 4869 and would have figured out how she escaped and begun looking for a child. Furthermore, if Shiho had reported to the Organization that APTX 4869 had the possibility of leaving the victim alive, the Boss and/or Shiho's superiors would not have permitted the drug in situations where the victim, if surviving, could escape as in Shinichi's case.</ref> and it was considered deadly enough that Sherry's superiors employed it as an untraceable murder weapon.<ref name=V2>Gin described APTX 4869 as a poison before using it on Shinichi, "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff..." (V1-1 pg 37) Haibara also mentions that it was used on a number of other people, "Of all the people who took the drug, only your death hadn't been confirmed yet." (V18-9 pg 6 The Org took great pains to ensure the people APTX4869 was used on were dead, evidenced when they sent Shiho out to investigate Shinichi's case twice to confirm his death. (V18-9 pg 6) Additionally, Gin gave the OK for it to be employed in a time sensitive assassination where failure would be unacceptable: "Anyway, our superior has ordered us to kill him before he rats us out. Don't screw up, Pisco! If there is any complication, you can use the 'experimental drug' [APTX 4869]" (V24-7 pg 17) If the boss, who has been stated to be cautious to a fault, knew about the risk that someone might survive APTX 4869, he would not let his subordinates use the drug without letting them know there was a chance it would leave people alive because, if someone escaped, they could talk to the police or someone else and leak the secret of the Black Organization's existence. If Gin knew it failed to work some of the time, he would have never left Shinichi alone while it acted, and would have also gone looking for him after his body disappeared if that was the case. Even Shiho Miyano who was aware APTX 4869 could rarely cause de-aging expected it to kill her. "I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8) Finally, Shiho makes it clear the Organization is not simply trying APTX 4869 out on victims, they are actively using it to kill. "If I reported your condition to the Organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." (V18-9 pg 7) Even though Shinichi was an "interesting specimen" (V18-9 pg 7), if the Org was field testing, they would try to capture Shinichi alive for study. Shiho was still project manager when use on humans began and when Shinichi was poisoned, so she would know the Organization's protocol should someone fail to die.</ref> However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series,<ref>"No angel has smiled upon me", "My life represents a series of misfortunes" (V35-1 pg 2)</ref> it is possible Vermouth took APTX 4869 hoping to commit suicide, but she de-aged instead, similar to Haibara's situation<ref>"I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8)</ref>. Vermouth could have also gambled on taking APTX 4869 after she recognized the deaged Shiho and Shinichi and then discovered that APTX 4869 was the common connection between them and likely cause of their conditions. However, both the suicide scenario (if it occurred while Shiho was working on the drug) and the gambling scenario fail to explain why no one in the Black Organization has questioned why Vermouth has become younger, especially after Gin saw her true face following the Haunted Ship case<ref>Akai's shotgun fire struck Vermouth's face and wounded it which made it apparent she wasn't wearing a mask and thus that was her true face. Vermouth was picked up by Gin in a telephone booth and he would have noticed her facial injury as well.</ref>, and then connected that with APTX 4869 use and Sherry's mysterious escape from the handcuffs and locked room. <br />
It is possible that Atsushi and Elena Miyano had something to do with Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging (e.g. Vermouth was their guinea pig). This might explain the personal animosity Vermouth feels towards the Miyanos and why she calls their APTX experiment foolish.

Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging may be a result of a project older than Shiho's APTX 4869, like her parents' [[Silver Bullet]], or something else even older than that. This would explain why none of the other members of the Black Organization suspect that APTX 4869 can also cause this effect and thus are unaware of the possibility Shiho de-aged to escape.

==Relationships analysis==
=== Family & Friends ===
[[File:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|thumb|right|125px|Vermouth with Yukiko approximately 20 years ago.]]
==== Yukiko Kudo ====
Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization.

=== Black Organization ===
[[File:Vermouth_provoking_Gin.png|thumb|right|125px|Vermouth teases Gin with a disguise.]]
==== Gin ====
Vermouth and [[Gin]] are or were in a sexual relationship with one another.<ref name="CD239a">Conan Drill page 239, "肉体関係" (sexual relations)</ref> They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Vermouth and Gin trusted one another, but some of Gin's trust may have disappeared as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her intentions.<ref name="CD239b">Conan Drill page 239, "同僚・信頼" (Colleagues Trusted)</ref> Gin doesn't mind threatening her with bodily harm, he nearly stabbed her through the head with an icepick on one occasion when she teased him disguised as a waiter, and he later pointed his gun at her when asking how she was connected with Kogoro. She doesn't seem especially bothered by any of these threats however. Because Vermouth is a high ranking member and the boss's favorite, she isn't scared of provoking the other agents, not even Gin who is extremely dangerous and sensitive. She smiled after moving her head to avoid Gin's deadly sweep with an icepick telling him that "She was just joking" which shows that she enjoys teasing him.

[[File:Vermouth_episode_230.png|thumb|125px|right|Vermouth terrifies Haibara.]]

==== Sherry ====
Vermouth and [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Vermouth appears to dislike the research the Miyanos engaged in, calling it foolish. Shiho fears Vermouth more than most other members except perhaps Gin. Shiho was Vermouth's target, but Vermouth gave up on her after Conan's intervention. If Shiho was in a romantic relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a sexual relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref> During the Bell Tree Express arc, Vermouth tries to use C4 explosives to kill Sherry without telling anyone about the plan, while Bourbon wanted to take her back alive hinting at an abnormal hatred towards her.

==== Calvados ====
[[Calvados]] was in love with Vermouth, and Vermouth took advantage of his feelings and used him. Vermouth called on Calvados to aid her in disposing with Jodie and capturing Haibara at the shipping yards. After Akai got the best of Calvados and Vermouth, she chose to run away, leaving him at the mercy of the FBI. Calvados chose to commit suicide rather than be caught.

==== Chianti and Korn ====
[[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] both hate Vermouth because they believe that Vermouth took advantage of Calvados' feelings for her and used him, leading him to his death. Chianti has been more vocal with her hatred than Korn.

==== Pisco ====
Although Vermouth and [[Pisco]] are executive members, Vermouth dislikes and looks down on Pisco despite cooperating with him.<ref name="CD239d">Conan Drill page 239, 見下す (despise look down on}</ref>

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]] worked with Vermouth on a plan to determine if [[Shuichi Akai]] was really dead. She made [[Scar Akai|masks that looked like Akai's face with a scar]] for him so he could approach Akai's friends and colleagues to see their reactions to him. She also interfered with his plans to capture Sherry alive by rigging the location Amuro intended to trap Sherry in with explosives to kill her.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Jodie Starling ====
[[Jodie Starling]] has a bitter hatred for Vermouth because Vermouth murdered her father, but Vermouth doesn't have any particular animosity for Jodie beyond her being a skilled FBI adversary whom she would like to kill. Jodie thinks Vermouth is an entirely evil person. Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to students and patients while disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], so when the real Araide wonders if Vermouth is really a bad person, Jodie takes offense and angrily yells at him, "How can someone be a good person if she kills people with a smile!?"<ref>Manga Volume 45, File 2, pg 18: "The truth behind the remaining desk"</ref>

20 years before the current timeline, Vermouth goes to the house of Jodie's father, an FBI agent, and kills him. An eight to nine year old [[Jodie Starling]] walks in while Vermouth was trying to put his glasses back on his body and thinks her father is asleep. Vermouth tells her that she should wait for her father to wake up. When the girl asks her who is she, Vermouth replies "A secret makes a woman, woman". Vermouth burns the house down, thinking Jodie stayed behind and was killed as well. However, the girl goes out of the house to buy orange juice for her father, narrowly escaping death. She also takes her father's glasses with her, preserving the fingerprints Vermouth left on them. When Vermouth finds out Jodie's body was not in the house, she looks for her to kill her, but the FBI enrolled her in witness protection. Jodie later becomes an FBI agent in order to find her father's killer.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Vermouth and [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]] don't have much personal animosity for each other in particular despite the fact that they have been hunting one another for some time. Vermouth regards Akai as a "silver bullet": someone with the potential to destroy the Black Organization. In accordance with this assessment, she attacks him immediately and preferentially in the confrontation with her at the docks. Akai seems to hit a nerve when he called her a rotten apple, wilted on the inside.

==== Kir ====
She suspected [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] is a member of the CIA though she didn't tell anyone about it.

=== Others ===
[[File:Vermouth_dartboard.PNG|thumb|150px|right|Vermouth's dartboard. Conan's picture has "Cool guy" written on it while Ran's says "Angel."]]
==== Shinichi Kudo ====
After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] helped Ran save Vermouth's life in New York while she was disguised as a serial killer, she nicknames him "Cool guy". Later in the series, after [[Conan]] successfully interfered with Vermouth's plan of killing [[Haibara]], then almost forced her to surrender and take him to find [[The Boss of the Black Organization|the boss]], she gives him another nickname - "Silver bullet" - as she believes that he has the potential to destroy the Black Organization, because he could touch her heart. Generally, Vermouth tries to protect Shinichi when she is able to, even if it means risking her own life. Although Shinichi found out later that he unknowingly rescued Vermouth in New York City and that Vermouth was a friend of Yukiko's, Shinichi doesn't understand why Vermouth would make the promise to give up on hunting Sherry and not inform the Black Organization about Haibara and himself.

==== Ran Mouri ====
After Ran saved Vermouth's life in New York City, Vermouth nicknames [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] "Angel". Earlier, Vermouth, as her Sharon Vineyard role, complained that her life was a series of misfortunes and, "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18" /> Even though Vermouth in disguise prepared to kill Ran later, Ran stopped Vermouth from taking a fatal fall. Vermouth was touched by this act of kindness. Much later in the story when Ran shielded Haibara from gunfire with her body, Vermouth refused to shoot Ran or allow her to be shot, instead firing around her in an attempt to frighten Ran into releasing Haibara. Although Ran does not know who Vermouth really is, she values the handkerchief that Sharon Vineyard gave her back in New York.

'''{{nihongo|Vermouth|ベルモット|Berumotto}}''', also known as '''{{nihongo|Sharon Vineyard|シャロン・ヴィンヤード|Sharon Vinyādo}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Chris Vineyard|クリス・ヴィンヤード|Kurisu Vinyādo}}''', is a member of the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Vermouth's background is very mysterious. She was friends with [[Yukiko Kudo]] back when they were acting together under the name Sharon Vineyard and studied under [[Kuroba Toichi]], but she was even then secretly a member of the [[Black Organization]]. It is unknown for exactly how long she has been a member, but it is known that she had been secretly living at least two lives through the art of disguise: that of herself and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard. After staging Sharon Vineyard's death, she now lives as "Chris" and continues to serve the Black Organization. At one point, some twenty years ago, she killed the parents of a little girl who would become the FBI agent [[Jodie Starling]], one of her most bitter enemies.

Vermouth is [[Anokata|the boss]]’s favorite which grants her some independence. She also appears not to age or have de-aged over a period of twenty years between when she killed Jodie's parents and her current appearance. She doesn’t seem to like the research that Ai and her parents engaged in, calling it “foolish". <ref>[[Volume 42#File 434 - Rotten Apple|Volume 42, File 434: "Rotten Apple"]]</ref>

Vermouth entered the storyline some time after [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano/Sherry/Ai Haibara]]'s mysterious flight from the Organization. Her main objective was to track down and eliminate the 'traitor', and for that purpose she assumed the identity of doctor [[Tomoaki Araide]]. But although she managed to discover Shiho's reversion into a child, she did not succeed in killing her, as she met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was able to discover and thwart her plans. She also encountered the FBI during this process.

Vermouth has great personal interest in Conan, constantly calling him "[[Silver Bullet]]". Since it has been revealed that she knows about Ai and Kudo's reversion to their child forms, she seems to know the shrinking effect the drug can have, but for reasons yet unrevealed she keeps this knowledge secret from the rest of the Organization.

== Personality ==
Although she follows orders from [[Anokata|the boss]] and [[Gin]] when he is charge of missions, Vermouth often acts according to her own agenda and whims, even when it runs contrary to the [[Black Organization]]'s best interests. She is secretive and manipulative, even towards other Organization members. Vermouth is confident in her abilities, is very bold, and an expert at manipulating situations to her advantage: traits which allow her to single-handedly weave complex plots and take the upper hand even while she is being monitored by enemies. She is intelligent and insightful, correctly suspecting the allegiance of Kir, but she was successfully outwitted by [[Conan]] and forced by [[Shuichi Akai]] to retreat.

[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|left|Vermouth teases Gin and Vodka by disguising as a waiter.]]
Vermouth's personality is contradictory at times. On one hand, she is a cruel and ruthless agent who will blackmail an unwilling man to commit murder by threatening him and his family just to provide a distraction and happily tell [[Jodie Starling|an FBI agent]] she should smile because she will see her dead father again in heaven. On the other hand, she risks her life several times to protect Conan, [[Ran]], and [[Kogoro]], and her friendly behavior while in disguise as Tomoaki Araide left the real Araide wondering if Vermouth is really a bad person. This inconsistency may reflect an underlying conflict of conscience after [[Shinichi]] and Ran saved her life during the events of the [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354_Anime:_286-288.29|Golden Apple case]].

At this point, Vermouth's motives are very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. It is frequently implied that Vermouth does not approve with the Organization's plans and is willing to quit, but fears the consequences of doing so openly. She is frequently shown to hold hopes that Conan is the 'silver bullet' that will eventually stop the Organization. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (as the son of [[Yukiko Kudo|her best friend]]) and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].<ref name="e288">[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, Part 3]].</ref> As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.

She may enjoy teasing others, seen when she disguised as a male waiter and served Gin and Vodka martinis and taunted Chianti by wishing her good luck and blowing her a kiss.<ref>[[Volume 49#File 501 - Follow the Target!|Volume 49, File 501, page 7: "Follow the Target!"]]</ref>
{{clearleft}}

==Abilities==
===Disguise===
[[File:Vermouth_taking_off_Araide's_mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes a latex mask.]]
Vermouth is able to mimic anyone's appearance and voice exactly with her disguise and acting skills even after observing them for only a short period of time. Vermouth frequently utilizes latex masks. Although she may have known how to disguise prior to meeting [[Toichi Kuroba]], she studied disguise under him. Her disguise ability was first shown in [[The Mysterious Passenger]]<ref>[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287: "The Unseen Horror"]], [[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 230: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref> where she dressed as a male waiter to tease [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].

===Reconnaissance===
Vermouth specializes in reconnaissance and infiltration, and has been shown to work very swiftly yet cautiously to rapidly acquire information. Her confidence and skill in disguise and imitation means she can execute bold plans that put her in very close contact with her targets and she can advance her plot even when they are suspicious of her. Without the aid of the other organization members, Vermouth successfully snuck into the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police headquarters]] in order to steal the records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases. She later returned them when presumably the surveillance would be even higher after the police noticed the files were missing. She then single-handedly staked out the [[FBI]] who were lured out into watching Kogoro Mouri and uncovered their numbers, addresses, and ways to contact them.

===Stamina===
Vermouth is quite strong and has developed a high pain tolerance. While she was disguised as a serial killer in New York City, Vermouth athletically vaults up from a dead hanging positioning over the railing of the stairwell to higher ground despite being shot in the side. She also shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Akai, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.

===Shooting===
As Vermouth pulled away in Jodie's car with broken ribs after her flak jacket absorbed a close range shotgun blast, she managed to aim a handgun backwards with her left hand using the side mirror while driving a car she wasn't used to and shoot Araide's car's gas tank standing 100 yards away, causing it to explode. Akai is impressed she managed that difficult shot with her battered body. Earlier however, she failed to draw fast enough to shoot Jodie or Akai; in the first case, the gun was shot out of her hand, in the second, Akai fired first.

==Non-aging==
[[File:Vermouth 20 years ago.png|thumb|right|Vermouth's appearance 20 years before the current timeline.]]
For some reason, Vermouth does not appear to age. Her apparent age hasn’t changed since she murdered Jodie’s parents twenty years ago.<ref name="f433">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> [[Shuichi Akai]] proved that Vermouth was not wearing a mask when his shotgun fire grazed her face. Specifically, it hasn't been clarified if Vermouth hasn't aged over time or if she became younger all at once. It is also important to note that Vermouth's talent for disguise makes it difficult to figure out when Vermouth stopped aging or deaged.

==Plot overview==
===Manga and Anime Timeline===
{{main|Vermouth timeline}}

===Raven Chaser===
In Movie 13: [[The Raven Chaser]], Vermouth disguises as a brown haired policeman in a dark suit with glasses to check on Irish's progress and the integrity of his disguise during the conference. After texting the boss outside the bathroom, she exits the building and leaves in Gin's Porsche 356A.

She is seen again disguising as a young brown-haired woman when trying to come closer to the believed serial killer but leaves as soon as she realizes he is not. [[Conan]] tracks her down in the underground parking lot and makes her reveal herself. She gives Conan essential information about an organization member named [[Irish]] and wishes him good luck when leaving.
It is later revealed that she was the one who supervised the captured [[Matsumoto]] and provided him with comestibles. When the police finds out about Matsumoto's remains, she informs [[Gin]] about it and leaves.
Finally, she is briefly seen driving along the Highway when Gin's helicopter crashes, complimenting Conan's accomplishments and calling him again a "silver bullet".

==Plot Exposition==
===Family History===
[[File:Chris_and_Sharon.png|thumb|right|Chris and Sharon Vineyard]]
In order to camouflage the fact that Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person, Vermouth concocted personal histories for her real life cover roles in order to make them seem like different people. When Sharon and Chris Vineyard were revealed to be one and the same, at least part of the stated Vineyard family history was revealed to be a lie. It is unknown how much of the remainder is truthful, based on the truth, or outright fabrication because the primary source of the information is Vermouth herself who may have more to hide.

Little is known of Sharon Vineyard's mother and father. Sharon's parents were not actors, at least not well known ones, because Agasa called Chris Vineyard a second generation actress.<ref name="f341p8">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 8: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> According to Sharon's story, both her mother and father died in a fire on the day Sharon debuted on screen.<ref name="f351p2">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 2: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref>

So far, Sharon Vineyard's age has not been given and nothing is known about her personal history before she became an actress. Even her fans knew little about her private life even after she became famous.<ref name="f344p9">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 9: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Sharon said her road to stardom was very difficult and full of misfortune, prompting her to doubt the existence of God: "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 18: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Sharon became a star actress<ref name="f350p16">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 16: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> and, according to [[Shuichi Akai]], is best known for her work in the Golden Apple broadway play. [[File:Chris with Veil.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Chris Vineyard coming out into public for the first time - at the funeral of her mother Sharon Vineyard]] At some point, she married and gave birth to her daughter Chris Vineyard. Her husband later died of an unspecified illness the day after Sharon won an Oscar. While studying for an acting role approximately 20 years ago, Sharon learned disguise techniques from [[Toichi Kuroba]] alongside the aspiring young Japanese actress [[Yukiko Kudo]].<ref name="f350p17">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 17: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref><ref>Yukiko started her career while in high-school. Yukiko is 37 currently so the time frame while Yukiko was studying as a beginning actress is approximately 20 years ago when Yukiko was 17 or 18.</ref> During their time together, Yukiko became Sharon's friend, and they have maintained contact with one another. Sharon later sent Yukiko three tickets to Golden Apple broadway production the year before she died. The cause of Sharon's death has not been revealed.

Chris Vineyard meanwhile became a successful actress quickly by riding the coattails of her mother's fame.<ref name="f351p2" /> She began to make movies and give interviews to reporters only, but otherwise she never appeared publicly.<ref name="f344p9" /> The first day she came out into public was the day of her mother's funeral some time less than one year ago.<ref name="f344p9" /> A reporter who tried to question Chris asked where she went to school, whether she got along with her mother, who her father is, and if the rumored lover she has will appear at Sharon's funeral.<ref name="f344p10">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 10: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Chris answered none of these, but the types of questions which were asked demonstrate the secrecy surrounding the Vineyard family history.

Sharon Vineyard and Chris apparently didn't get along; Sharon doesn't consider Chris to be her daughter.<ref name="f351p2" /> Sharon explained this by relaying a tale to Yukiko about Chris who disguised as Sharon's husband and then met with Sharon when she visited her husband's grave to lay flowers.<ref name="f351p3">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 3: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref> Sharon did teach Chris the disguise techniques she learned from Toichi after Chris begged for them.<ref name="f351p3" /> One year prior to the current timeline, Sharon says she hasn't seen Chris in ten years and that she is currently hanging out with a "bad crowd" of people.<ref name="f351p3" />{{clear}}

===Hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not Jodie===
[[File:Jodie mirror pictures.PNG|thumb|right|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images.]]
There were several hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not [[Jodie Saintemillion]] who was also a candidate for being Vermouth before her true identity was revealed.
*The records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases that Vermouth stole did not contain any cases involving [[Jodie Saintemillion]], but did contain the murder case [[Tomoaki Araide]] was involved in. This was the clue that allowed Conan to deduce Araide was Vermouth.
*Jodie's copies of [[Media:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard]] have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures.<ref name="f343p18">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 18: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> This detail was overlooked in the anime. Also, Jodie has a picture of Dr. Araide.
*Araide switches from the basketball to the drama club.<ref name="f270p3">[[Volume 27#File 270 - Game Start|Volume 27, File 270, page 3: "Game Start"]]</ref>
*Haibara skipped school on the day of the yearly health checkups that Dr. Araide gives the elementary school students. Conan wonders if Haibara thinks there is something wrong with Araide.<ref name="f287p3">[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287, page 9: "The Unseen Horror"]]</ref>
*Vermouth falls out of character. One of her patients says Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger.<ref name=355p6>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 6: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> Also, "Dr. Araide" claims to have sent his grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori,<ref name=355p5>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 5: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> which is strange because it was established in the Araide family murder case<ref>[[Volume 24#File 235 - In the Darkness...|Volume 24, Files 235-236: "In the Darkness..."]]</ref> that Araide didn't trust them (especially Hikaru) to take care of themselves.<ref>[[Volume 35#File 355 - Mystery of the Haunted House 1|Volume 35, File 355: "Mystery of the Haunted House 1"]], [[The Truth of the Haunted House|Episode 274: The Truth of the Haunted House]]</ref>

===Jodie's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ===
[[File:Vermouth with little Jodie.png|thumb|right|Seven year old Jodie encounters Vermouth twenty years ago]]
Jodie's father in the FBI was secretly investigating Vermouth twenty years before the current storyline.<ref name="f433" /> That is too young for Chris Vineyard to be in disguise as she is only 29 currently and would be 9 at the time. After Vermouth killed Jodie's father she inadvertently handled Jodie’s father’s glasses barehanded which had fallen off of him and got her fingerprints on them. Unexpectedly, little Jodie came in and saw Vermouth holding the glasses. When Vermouth left after setting the house on fire, she didn't anticipate that Jodie left to get juice, taking her father’s glasses with her and thus preserving her fingerprint. After she discovered Jodie's corpse was not found in the house, Vermouth looked for the girl desperately in order to rectify her mistake, but Jodie had since been put into witness protection.

Jodie suspected Chris Vineyard of being Vermouth when she saw her at Sharon’s funeral. She somehow determined Chris Vineyard’s prints matched those of the glasses. Chris would have been too young to commit a crime 20 years ago, so later Jodie obtained Sharon’s fingerprints and matched those as well. All three matched, proving to Jodie that the three people were one and the same.

===Conan's investigation===
====Conan's discovery Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide====
[[Conan]] suspects [[Pisco]] had help from another [[Black Organization]] member. He looks into [[Chris Vineyard]] and realizes that she is able to disguise herself and may be pretending to be someone close to him. [[Kogoro Mouri]]’s case records were stolen from the police department. Conan realizes [[Tomoaki Araide]] is Vermouth because Vermouth needed the files to testify at the trial properly while in disguise.

[[File:Vermouth_and_Dr._Araide.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Vermouth as Dr. Araide]]
Conan first suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the mourning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. Conan didn't realize that this Black Organization member might be after him or Haibara until after the bus jack case when [[Haibara]] tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is [[Shuichi Akai]] whose behavior seemed suspicious.<ref name="f291p11">[[Volume 29#File 291 - A Tiny Trace|Volume 29, File 291, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"]]</ref> After he recognizes Akai in the P & A case<ref name="f326">[[Volume 32#File 326 - P & A|Volume 32, File 326-328: "P & A"]]</ref>, Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of someone investigating them.<ref name="f332">[[Volume 33#File 332 - Bloody Valentine 2|Volume 33, File 332: "Bloody Valentine 2"]]</ref> Conan doesn't seem to suspect the person Vermouth has replaced, [[Tomoaki Araide|Dr. Araide]], yet because he was willing to use his voice changer in front of him.<ref name="f330">[[Volume 33#File 330 - Sato's Feelings|Volume 33, File 2: "Satou's feelings"]]</ref>

Conan gets his first tangible proof someone is investigating around him when [[Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.<ref name="f336p9">[[Volume 33#File 336 - Clean Scent|Volume 33, File 336, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"]]</ref> He begins to wonder who the target is and suspects Akai may be behind the incident because of the timing. Conan also begins to suspect the English teacher [[Jodie Starling|Jodie Saintemillion]] and Dr. Araide as well because they were also on the bus.<ref name="f343p17">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 17: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> He isn't sure of the motive for taking the records although Conan wonders if someone is trying to lure him out or if the person returned the files because they already knew what Conan would do.<ref name="f336p9">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref>

Conan's idea that Pisco had an accomplice among the other suspects has fully solidified. He has noticed one of the suspects who had a purple handkerchief, [[Chris Vineyard]], hasn't appeared in public since that case, thus Conan believes Chris is the Black Organization accomplice. He asks [[Agasa]] to go onto Chris's fansite and gather information on her past, interests, and habits<ref name="f341p3">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 3: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> and Agasa's investigation corroborates with Conan's deduction.<ref name="f344p9" /> Conan is already aware that Chris Vineyard has disguise abilities and may be in disguise as someone around him.<ref name="f343p17" />

At this point, Conan is still uncertain of Araide, Jodie, and Akai's allegiances. He learns from [[Ran]] that Shuichi Akai was seen with a man in an [[FBI]] jacket during the New York case, causing Conan to wonder if the FBI is in Japan for some reason or the Black Organization infiltrated the American law enforcement.<ref name="f380p5">[[Volume 37#File 380 - White Snow... Black Shadow...|Volume 37, File 380, pages 5-6: "White Snow... Black Shadow..."]]</ref> Conan begins to take precautions around Dr. Araide and Jodie by lying to them in order to minimize contact and information they have about Haibara.<ref name="f420">[[Volume 41#File 420 - The Enclosing Surrounding Net|Volume 41, File 420: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net"]]</ref><ref name="f422">[[Volume 41#File 422 - Inescapable Target|Volume 41, File 422: "Inescapable Target"]]</ref> However, Jodie and Dr. Araide both go over to Agasa's house and plant listening devices because Conan failed to communicate his suspicion and plans to Agasa.<ref name="f422" />

By the time Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he has realized that Vermouth is most likely Dr. Araide because Jodie wasn't in Mouri's case files when they were stolen, while Araide was. Vermouth needed the files to give proper testimony at the trial and to act correctly as Araide. Vermouth puts her plan to capture Haibara into action by calling Agasa's house as Dr. Araide saying he wants to take Haibara to a hospital because her cough hasn't gotten better.<ref name="f430p9">[[Volume 42#File 430 - The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood|Volume 42, File 430, page 9: "The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood"]]</ref> Conan is still unsure of Jodie's allegiance until she answers the door before Dr. Araide arrives. Jodie lies to "Haibara" (who is really Conan in disguise) saying that Dr. Araide's car has broken down and she has come in his place.<ref name="f431p3">[[Volume 42#File 431 - The Invisible Man Enters!|Volume 42, File 431, page 3: "The Invisible Man Enters!"]]</ref> Conan catches the lie and realizes that Jodie has been listening to the bugs as well and is acting to protect Haibara, meaning she is against Vermouth. Armed with this info, he asks Jodie to force the truth from Vermouth, and in return he will trust her.<ref name="f432p4">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 4: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

Conan tells Jodie the true scenario of Dr. Araide's family murder case.<ref name="f433p11">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433, page 11: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> Tomoaki Araide’s father, Yoshiteru Araide, was killed in his bathtub via electrocution. The murder was masterminded by Yoshiteru Araide's second wife, Yoko Araide. She caused a blackout to occur while she was supposedly on the phone, and during the ensuing darkness, snuck to the bathroom and put an electric shaver in the bathtub. She then crept back and asked the housemaid [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] to flip the circuit breaker, causing Yoshiteru Araide to be electrocuted. "Sleeping Kogoro", the police, and the criminal decided to create a false investigation record to protect the conscience of the maid Hikaru. Jodie used this to her advantage and forced Vermouth to reveal that she didn't know the true sequence of events.<ref name="f432p11">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 11: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

====Conan's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person====
[[File:Vermouth protecting Conan.png|thumb|right|Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide protects Conan on the hijacked bus. This action puzzled Conan until he realized he had unknowingly saved Vermouth in New York city one year before.]]
At the same time Shinichi and Ran were in New York City, Vermouth disguised as a silver-haired serial killer in order to lure out [[Shuichi Akai]]. Later, Conan suspected the serial killer may have been someone in disguise when he heard that the serial killer’s blood and fingerprints on the stair rails were cleaned up, an action uncharacteristic for someone intending to commit suicide. Sharon was the only person Conan knew about in the local area with high disguise abilities, so suspicion naturally fell onto her.

After Vermouth disguised as Araide, Conan deduced from the way Vermouth was behaving that she was trying to avoid involving Conan in her plan and was only targeting Haibara. Vermouth as Dr. Araide risked her life to protect Conan in the bus jack case and helped him out in Sato's matchup case. When Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he realizes that Vermouth's intentions are to only trap Haibara and that Vermouth is trying to lure Conan to the party to avoid catching him up in her plan.

Conan who didn't exist a year ago has no reason to be “protected” by Vermouth. Conan deduces Vermouth must know his identity as Shinichi and the reason for her “protection” must have to do with something he did as Shinichi. However, Sharon was the only one Shinichi had a connection with, and she is apparently dead. Sharon’s daughter Chris has never met Shinichi and is estranged from Sharon Vineyard so she alone doesn't have an adequate motive to protect Shinichi. Also, it wouldn’t make sense for Chris Vineyard, who isn’t a family friend like Sharon, to be able to recognize Shinichi as Conan; presumably Vermouth saw young Shinichi with Yukiko when she was Sharon.

All these clues come together when Conan makes the assumption that Sharon Vineyard is Chris Vineyard who disguised as the silver haired serial killer in New York and that she is grateful for being rescued by [[Shinichi]] and [[Ran]].<ref name="f429p9">[[Volume 42#File 429 - The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet|Volume 42, File 429, page 9: "The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet"]]. After Conan tells Agasa that Vermouth probably knows who they are, Agasa asks "If they know that much, why haven't they come here to kill you?". Conan's response is, "I don't know the reason, but... but I think I at least know one of the causes."</ref>

== Speculation ==
=== Vermouth's true age ===
Vermouth's age is unknown because her history is largely unclear. We know she has lived as Chris who is 29, and as Sharon whose age is unknown. Her face when she killed Jodie's father 20 years was youthful, suggesting she is currently at least 40 years old as long as no deaging has occurred.

===Vermouth did not use [[APTX 4869]]===
A popular theory on Vermouth's non-aging is that she used [[APTX 4869]] to achieve her youthfulness since this is the only known substance capable of producing such an effect ([[Silver Bullet]]'s effects are unknown at this point). However, at present there are things that contradict such a notion. Vermouth would have faced near certain death if she had used APTX 4869.<ref name=V2/> Before Vermouth discovered Haibara and Conan, the known members of the Black Organization (besides Sherry) only knew about APTX 4869's lethal effects,<ref>Sherry did not report the results that several of her mice shrank to the greater organization because they have not been able to figure out how Shiho managed to escape the locked room. If Shiho had reported her data, the Organization would have known that shrinking was a possible side effect of APTX 4869 and would have figured out how she escaped and begun looking for a child. Furthermore, if Shiho had reported to the Organization that APTX 4869 had the possibility of leaving the victim alive, the Boss and/or Shiho's superiors would not have permitted the drug in situations where the victim, if surviving, could escape as in Shinichi's case.</ref> and it was considered deadly enough that Sherry's superiors employed it as an untraceable murder weapon.<ref name=V2>Gin described APTX 4869 as a poison before using it on Shinichi, "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff..." (V1-1 pg 37) Haibara also mentions that it was used on a number of other people, "Of all the people who took the drug, only your death hadn't been confirmed yet." (V18-9 pg 6 The Org took great pains to ensure the people APTX4869 was used on were dead, evidenced when they sent Shiho out to investigate Shinichi's case twice to confirm his death. (V18-9 pg 6) Additionally, Gin gave the OK for it to be employed in a time sensitive assassination where failure would be unacceptable: "Anyway, our superior has ordered us to kill him before he rats us out. Don't screw up, Pisco! If there is any complication, you can use the 'experimental drug' [APTX 4869]" (V24-7 pg 17) If the boss, who has been stated to be cautious to a fault, knew about the risk that someone might survive APTX 4869, he would not let his subordinates use the drug without letting them know there was a chance it would leave people alive because, if someone escaped, they could talk to the police or someone else and leak the secret of the Black Organization's existence. If Gin knew it failed to work some of the time, he would have never left Shinichi alone while it acted, and would have also gone looking for him after his body disappeared if that was the case. Even Shiho Miyano who was aware APTX 4869 could rarely cause de-aging expected it to kill her. "I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8) Finally, Shiho makes it clear the Organization is not simply trying APTX 4869 out on victims, they are actively using it to kill. "If I reported your condition to the Organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." (V18-9 pg 7) Even though Shinichi was an "interesting specimen" (V18-9 pg 7), if the Org was field testing, they would try to capture Shinichi alive for study. Shiho was still project manager when use on humans began and when Shinichi was poisoned, so she would know the Organization's protocol should someone fail to die.</ref> However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series,<ref>"No angel has smiled upon me", "My life represents a series of misfortunes" (V35-1 pg 2)</ref> it is possible Vermouth took APTX 4869 hoping to commit suicide, but she de-aged instead, similar to Haibara's situation<ref>"I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8)</ref>. Vermouth could have also gambled on taking APTX 4869 after she recognized the deaged Shiho and Shinichi and then discovered that APTX 4869 was the common connection between them and likely cause of their conditions. However, both the suicide scenario (if it occurred while Shiho was working on the drug) and the gambling scenario fail to explain why no one in the Black Organization has questioned why Vermouth has become younger, especially after Gin saw her true face following the Haunted Ship case<ref>Akai's shotgun fire struck Vermouth's face and wounded it which made it apparent she wasn't wearing a mask and thus that was her true face. Vermouth was picked up by Gin in a telephone booth and he would have noticed her facial injury as well.</ref>, and then connected that with APTX 4869 use and Sherry's mysterious escape from the handcuffs and locked room. <br />
It is possible that Atsushi and Elena Miyano had something to do with Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging (e.g. Vermouth was their guinea pig). This might explain the personal animosity Vermouth feels towards the Miyanos and why she calls their APTX experiment foolish.

Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging may be a result of a project older than Shiho's APTX 4869, like her parents' [[Silver Bullet]], or something else even older than that. This would explain why none of the other members of the Black Organization suspect that APTX 4869 can also cause this effect and thus are unaware of the possibility Shiho de-aged to escape.

==Relationships analysis==
=== Family & Friends ===
[[File:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|thumb|right|125px|Vermouth with Yukiko approximately 20 years ago.]]
==== Yukiko Kudo ====
Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization.

=== Black Organization ===
[[File:Vermouth_provoking_Gin.png|thumb|right|125px|Vermouth teases Gin with a disguise.]]
==== Gin ====
Vermouth and [[Gin]] are or were in a sexual relationship with one another.<ref name="CD239a">Conan Drill page 239, "肉体関係" (sexual relations)</ref> They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Vermouth and Gin trusted one another, but some of Gin's trust may have disappeared as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her intentions.<ref name="CD239b">Conan Drill page 239, "同僚・信頼" (Colleagues Trusted)</ref> Gin doesn't mind threatening her with bodily harm, he nearly stabbed her through the head with an icepick on one occasion when she teased him disguised as a waiter, and he later pointed his gun at her when asking how she was connected with Kogoro. She doesn't seem especially bothered by any of these threats however. Because Vermouth is a high ranking member and the boss's favorite, she isn't scared of provoking the other agents, not even Gin who is extremely dangerous and sensitive. She smiled after moving her head to avoid Gin's deadly sweep with an icepick telling him that "She was just joking" which shows that she enjoys teasing him.

[[File:Vermouth_episode_230.png|thumb|125px|right|Vermouth terrifies Haibara.]]

==== Sherry ====
Vermouth and [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Vermouth appears to dislike the research the Miyanos engaged in, calling it foolish. Shiho fears Vermouth more than most other members except perhaps Gin. Shiho was Vermouth's target, but Vermouth gave up on her after Conan's intervention. If Shiho was in a romantic relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a sexual relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref> During the Bell Tree Express arc, Vermouth tries to use C4 explosives to kill Sherry without telling anyone about the plan, while Bourbon wanted to take her back alive hinting at an abnormal hatred towards her.

==== Calvados ====
[[Calvados]] was in love with Vermouth, and Vermouth took advantage of his feelings and used him. Vermouth called on Calvados to aid her in disposing with Jodie and capturing Haibara at the shipping yards. After Akai got the best of Calvados and Vermouth, she chose to run away, leaving him at the mercy of the FBI. Calvados chose to commit suicide rather than be caught.

==== Chianti and Korn ====
[[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] both hate Vermouth because they believe that Vermouth took advantage of Calvados' feelings for her and used him, leading him to his death. Chianti has been more vocal with her hatred than Korn.

==== Pisco ====
Although Vermouth and [[Pisco]] are executive members, Vermouth dislikes and looks down on Pisco despite cooperating with him.<ref name="CD239d">Conan Drill page 239, 見下す (despise look down on}</ref>

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]] worked with Vermouth on a plan to determine if [[Shuichi Akai]] was really dead. She made [[Scar Akai|masks that looked like Akai's face with a scar]] for him so he could approach Akai's friends and colleagues to see their reactions to him. She also interfered with his plans to capture Sherry alive by rigging the location Amuro intended to trap Sherry in with explosives to kill her.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Jodie Starling ====
[[Jodie Starling]] has a bitter hatred for Vermouth because Vermouth murdered her father, but Vermouth doesn't have any particular animosity for Jodie beyond her being a skilled FBI adversary whom she would like to kill. Jodie thinks Vermouth is an entirely evil person. Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to students and patients while disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], so when the real Araide wonders if Vermouth is really a bad person, Jodie takes offense and angrily yells at him, "How can someone be a good person if she kills people with a smile!?"<ref>Manga Volume 45, File 2, pg 18: "The truth behind the remaining desk"</ref>

20 years before the current timeline, Vermouth goes to the house of Jodie's father, an FBI agent, and kills him. An eight to nine year old [[Jodie Starling]] walks in while Vermouth was trying to put his glasses back on his body and thinks her father is asleep. Vermouth tells her that she should wait for her father to wake up. When the girl asks her who is she, Vermouth replies "A secret makes a woman, woman". Vermouth burns the house down, thinking Jodie stayed behind and was killed as well. However, the girl goes out of the house to buy orange juice for her father, narrowly escaping death. She also takes her father's glasses with her, preserving the fingerprints Vermouth left on them. When Vermouth finds out Jodie's body was not in the house, she looks for her to kill her, but the FBI enrolled her in witness protection. Jodie later becomes an FBI agent in order to find her father's killer.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Vermouth and [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]] don't have much personal animosity for each other in particular despite the fact that they have been hunting one another for some time. Vermouth regards Akai as a "silver bullet": someone with the potential to destroy the Black Organization. In accordance with this assessment, she attacks him immediately and preferentially in the confrontation with her at the docks. Akai seems to hit a nerve when he called her a rotten apple, wilted on the inside.

==== Kir ====
She suspected [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] is a member of the CIA though she didn't tell anyone about it.

=== Others ===
[[File:Vermouth_dartboard.PNG|thumb|150px|right|Vermouth's dartboard. Conan's picture has "Cool guy" written on it while Ran's says "Angel."]]
==== Shinichi Kudo ====
After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] helped Ran save Vermouth's life in New York while she was disguised as a serial killer, she nicknames him "Cool guy". Later in the series, after [[Conan]] successfully interfered with Vermouth's plan of killing [[Haibara]], then almost forced her to surrender and take him to find [[The Boss of the Black Organization|the boss]], she gives him another nickname - "Silver bullet" - as she believes that he has the potential to destroy the Black Organization, because he could touch her heart. Generally, Vermouth tries to protect Shinichi when she is able to, even if it means risking her own life. Although Shinichi found out later that he unknowingly rescued Vermouth in New York City and that Vermouth was a friend of Yukiko's, Shinichi doesn't understand why Vermouth would make the promise to give up on hunting Sherry and not inform the Black Organization about Haibara and himself.

==== Ran Mouri ====
After Ran saved Vermouth's life in New York City, Vermouth nicknames [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] "Angel". Earlier, Vermouth, as her Sharon Vineyard role, complained that her life was a series of misfortunes and, "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18" /> Even though Vermouth in disguise prepared to kill Ran later, Ran stopped Vermouth from taking a fatal fall. Vermouth was touched by this act of kindness. Much later in the story when Ran shielded Haibara from gunfire with her body, Vermouth refused to shoot Ran or allow her to be shot, instead firing around her in an attempt to frighten Ran into releasing Haibara. Although Ran does not know who Vermouth really is, she values the handkerchief that Sharon Vineyard gave her back in New York.

=== Situation ===

==== Part 1 ====

[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] appears in a commercial to promote white chocolate for White Day and is invited to the chocolate company's White Day party. Kogoro, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] attend and are introduced to the company presidents, Taruto Urai and his wife Hoshie Urai. During the party, Taruto collapses. At first thought to be one of his practical jokes, Conan quickly notices that Taruto has died from cyanide poisoning.

}}

[[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and his officers are called to investigate the death. The investigation leads Hoshie to be the prime suspect. As she is taken away to be searched, Hoshie trips and falls on a table causing many lemon tea glasses to shatter. Meanwhile, evidence of a medicinal wafer containing poison is found in Urai's mouth, suggesting suicide.

==== Part 2 ====
Despite all appearing to be a suicide case, Conan is certain that Hoshie is the culprit and investigates on how she delivered the poison to her husband, finally finding several pieces of critical evidence and exposing her.

* Taruto's wife}}
{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan discovers that the burn marks on Hoshie's napkin indicate that cyanide was on the napkin and the poison was placed on a lemon slice. Conan elaborately explains how Taruto was famously known to hate sour things, and had planned to surprise his guest by eating sour food with the use of synsepalum dulcificum, which would temporarily reorganize his taste buds to accept sour food as sweet. Upon testing if the synsepalum dulcificum was still in effect, Taruto ate the poisoned lemon slice. While down on the ground after her "accidental" stumble, Hoshie took the lemon and placed the medicinal wafer in her husband's mouth and hid the lemon slice among the others during her fall. Conan concludes that Hoshie's fingerprint and Taruto's saliva should be on the poisoned lemon slice.

When confronted with the facts, '''Hoshie Urai''' confesses, revealing her motive is revenge for the death of her boyfriend who had started his apprenticeship along with her in Taruto's confectionery. During a competition, her boyfriend was clearly considered the prospective winner because of his outstanding sour confections, but Taruto, who favored Hoshie, decided to push him out of the race by claiming that his confections were way too sour. Devastated by this fake assessment, the boy had hung himself; Taruto's subsequent distaste for sour things resulted from his panging conscience for inadvertently having caused his apprentice's death. His guilt came to daylight after Hoshie had recently fed him a sour lemon cake, whereupon Taruto had collapsed and told everything.

On the way home, Ran is visibly saddened since she thinks she is the only one of her acquaintances not to have received a White Day gift, but is cheered up when she discovers white throat lozenge from a postage left by Shinichi.

=== Situation ===

==== Part 1 ====
When a famous samurai movie star, Kozaburo Hijikata, hires Kogoro for some consultations, the group is led to believe that he wants to learn about detective work for an upcoming TV series where he is to star as a detective. However, rumors of an affair between his beautiful and much younger wife Isami Nagakura and stunt actor Hajime Okita can't help but lead Conan to doubt the reason. When Isami is found dead on Okita's balcony, the group believes it is an open and shut case, but Conan doubts the authenticity when he sees a big smile form on Hijikata's face. Which side is truly right?

==== Part 2 ====
Kogoro tells the media all of the current suspicions so Inspector Megure and Detective Takagi can sneak Hijikata and Okita out the backdoor for questioning, but before doing so Conan goes up to the sixth floor to try and find some evidence that his suspicion of Hijikata being the killer is accurate. In the end one truth as always will prevail, but which side is truly innocent here?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Effectively, Conan was right. The culprit was '''Kozaburo Hijikata'''. Hijikata not only killed Isami since she cheated on him, but because of her life insurance which he needed to cash on due to his upcoming bankruptcy. As such, he purchased three apartments with exactly the same furnishing, but in different floors of the same building; via tampering a little with the elevator numbers, he managed to trick Conan, Kogoro, and Ran. To go to one of them when they meant to go to the other. Said apartment was right next to the one where Hijikata strangled Isami and left her body to be found; with another trick he made Isami's lifeless body fall in the balcony in front of everyone.

The proof that Conan needed was a prop pistol that Kogoro accidentally broke in one of the apartments, and which he hid under a couch pillow; finding it in the right place is what uncovers Hijikata's plans.

'''{{nihongo|Ran Mouri|毛利蘭|Mōri Ran}}''', also known as '''Rachel Moore''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is the 2nd protagonist in the manga and anime series, ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Shinichi Kudo]].

==Background==
[[File:Child Ran and Fusae.jpg|thumb|left|First Grade Ran meets [[Fusae Campbell]] ten years ago and borrows her umbrella]]
Ran is a childhood friend of [[Shinichi Kudo]]. She is the daughter of [[Kogoro Mouri]], a private detective, and [[Eri Kisaki]], a lawyer. Her parents separated when she was seven,<ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> and one of her biggest goals is to get them back together. Her best friend besides Shinichi is her classmate [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], who often teases her about her relationship with Shinichi.

Over a year before the series' start, Ran and Shinichi visited Shinichi's parents in New York. They met [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother]] and her actress friend, [[Sharon Vineyard]] (also known as Vermouth, a member of the [[Black Organization]]). Later that evening, Vermouth disguised as a serial killer to do BO work, and was saved by Ran and Shinichi who encountered her on their way back from a show-turned-murder case. Vermouth have fallen to her death, but Ran caught her arm and Shinichi helped her pull Vermouth to safety. Due to this, Sharon gave Ran the nickname "Angel", and Shinichi the nickname "Cool Guy".<ref>[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volumes 34-35, Files 350-354: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Vermouth later showed hesitance to kill Ran and later Conan as well,<ref name="e345" /> but whether or not it was because of any emotional attachment is unclear. It was during this trip that Ran realized her feelings for Shinichi.

After Shinichi's disappearance, Ran met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was introduced by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] as a "distant relative". At Agasa's request, Ran agreed to look after him, and immediately came to think of him as a surrogate little brother.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> Ran has come to suspect Conan's identity multiple times, but Conan always manages a sufficient alibi to satisfy her concerns.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Ran's greatest personality trait is that she genuinely cares for those she loves. She is also patient, kind, and nurturing. Like Shinichi, she highly values justice to the point of idealism. To avoid making Shinichi choose between her and his important case (really an excuse because Shinichi has turned into Conan and can't return), she has decided to wait for him to finish it, trusting his promise that he will come back despite their separation causing Ran a lot of emotional pain. Ran is also very hot-blooded and tends to act on impulses when the people she cares about are involved; the combination of jumping to conclusions and not hesitating to use karate on those who she perceives to have wronged someone have led to several "near-miss" misunderstandings. Early on, she would become violently suspicious if she thought Shinichi was philandering, although more recently his confessions have lead her to trust his intentions.

Ran can be very brave and resourceful when she wants to be, and rescues Conan from trouble on occasion. However, she has an irrational fear of the supernatural and is thus—unlike her friend Sonoko—absolutely no fan of anything related to the horror genre.<ref name="e274">[[Truth About the Haunted House|Episode 274-275: Truth About the Haunted House]]</ref> She also constantly tries to reunite her father and mother again, though with little success, thanks to the mutual stubbornness of both parents. Ran is typically unaware of her attractiveness, and usually remains oblivious when men try to flirt with her, often to Sonoko's exasperation. If made aware, Ran doesn't respond in kind due to her feelings for Shinichi. Even though Ran is in love with Shinichi, she has repeatedly failed to convey her feelings because she suddenly becomes self conscious.

Ran is very self-sufficient for her age, since her father is often drunk, slovenly, and fiscally irresponsible. She handles many of the Mouri household's financial affairs and all the cooking and housework. She also ensures Kogoro doesn't slack off on his job, is on his best behavior for client meetings, and she often greets and provides refreshments for potential clients. She also appreciates fine art. Ran is noted by both Shinichi and Shuichi Akai to cry a lot. <ref> Manga file: "Ran's Tears"</ref>

==Appearance==
Ran is a light-skinned girl of average height. She is slender in frame, yet sports an athletic and fairly curvaceous built. She has big blue eyes and dark brown hair. Her hair is straight and hip-length tucked behind her ears with short wavy bangs over her forehead. What was originally a wave in her bangs has evolved into a stylized triangular point as the manga has progressed.

== Abilities ==
[[File:691-16.png|thumb|Ran beats a gangster]]

Ran's most notable ability is her great prowess in martial arts; she is skilled enough in karate to win regional tournaments at the high-school level. Ran is the captain and ace of the karate team of Teitan High School.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> She is also well-trained in Judo by her father. Her deceptive strength and skill have been seen repeatedly, both from her ability to effortlessly smash stone and other very sturdy objects and also take out various assailants. In the ninth movie, ''[[Strategy Above the Depths]]'', Conan states that Ran has an unusual amount of stamina.<ref name="m9">[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref> Despite her prowess, she may not always be able to fight if scared too much.<ref name="m2" /> In the fourth movie (''[[Captured in Her Eyes]]''), Ran also was unable to fight due to suffering of amnesia at the time, but as soon as she recovered her memories she also got the use of her abilities back and incapacitated the culprit who was about to kill her and Conan.<ref name="m4">[[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]]</ref>

Ran is also very skilled in running a household, including sewing and cooking. She is musically talented, noted to be a very good singer and able to memorize and transcrive the notes for the song ''Come Spring'', and she can also play the piano well. She also is astonishingly lucky at gambling, lotteries, and any game of chance, including poker.<ref>[[Volume 8]]</ref><ref name="e75">[[Loan Company President's Murder Case|Episode 75: Loan Company President's Murder Case]]</ref> Ran is also considered very beautiful as many men become infatuated with her as noted by Sonoko (much to Sonoko's annoyance); Ran was once even offered a modeling job. Ran also has a very good memory for history, and has used her knowledge to contribute to a case investigation more than once.

== Plot overview ==
=== Doubts about Conan's identity ===

[[File:096-1.png|thumb|Episode 096]]
[[File:191-1.png|thumb|Episode 191]]
[[File:Ran_suspecting_Conan.jpg|thumb|Episode 400]]
[[File:574-1.png|thumb|Episode 574]]
[[File:691-13.png|thumb|Episode 691]]

In time, Ran comes to suspect that Conan is actually Shinichi, despite what her common sense would say, but he always manages to trick her and prove her wrong. There are, however, occasions where she appears to be sure that Shinichi and Conan are one and the same.

====Episode 007====

The first time Ran suspects Conan is [[episode 7]]. After seeing how Conan, like Shinichi, can deduce someone's occupation by just touching the person's hand, Ran becomes very suspicious and keeps an eye on Conan during the whole case. However, Professor Agasa calls Ran with the voice changing bowtie at the end, freeing Conan of suspicion for a while.

====Episode 096====

[[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|Another time]], when Ran finds Conan asleep on the sofa, she takes off his glasses and notices the striking resemblance he has to Shinichi as a child. She later confronts Conan about this resemblance, his similar powers of deduction, and even his shared lack of any musical knowledge. However, Shinichi's mother unexpectedly shows up and covers for Conan by explaining that Conan resembles Shinichi because they are distant relatives and that Conan possesses Shinichi's deductive ability because he admires Shinichi and learns from him.

====Episode 191====

Despite apologizing to Conan for doubting him, Ran does not lose her suspicions, but keeps them to herself for awhile.<ref>[[Volume 26|Volume 26, File 254: "An Infatuated Heart"]]</ref> [[The Desperate Revival|When Conan is critically injured]] and requires a blood donation, Ran donates her blood without hesitation, knowing she and Shinichi share the same rare blood type. Since this act proves Ran's suspicions are correct, with the help of [[Ai Haibara]], Conan manages to fool Ran by allowing Shinichi to appear before her while Conan (Ai Haibara in disguise) is present.

====Episode 400====

In [[Ran's Suspicions]], Conan once forgets his cell phone on the couch and Ran, in the room at the time, remembers to send an email to Shinichi to let him know that she's going with her father on a case and that his presence would be most welcome as Kogoro could use the help. Right after sending the message, Conan's phone starts vibrating. Ran, quite perplexed by the perfect timing, checks his phone only to discover a new email (she hasn't seen the content yet). At that moment, Conan enters the room, and seeing his phone in Ran's hands, rushes towards it while shouting and grabs it back asking: "''Did you look?''". He quickly understands that Ran's email may have risen doubts about his identity.<ref name="e398">[[The Weird Family's Commission|Episode 398-399: The Weird Family's Commission]]</ref>

Following this event, Ran first believes that Shinichi often contacts Conan without her knowing, which would in some way explain how he always seems to help out on cases. Later on, after seeing Conan give an important clue to the investigation team without making use of his cell phone (to eventually contact Shinichi like she was suspecting), she starts to believe that Conan is actually Shinichi thinking that past occurrences of both being present at the same time was just a trick he used to fool her.<ref name="e398" />

At the end of the day, Ran is able to retrieve Conan's phone. Late at night, after waiting for everybody to go to bed, she tries to get past the phone's PIN code to check whether her email is there or not. This, to her, would be undeniable proof that Conan is indeed Shinichi. After finally guessing the number equivalent of "Sherlock" to be the PIN code, she's surprised not to see her email there. She instantly tries a few times to resend another email but nothing comes up on Conan's phone. That's when Shinichi calls her complaining about the numerous emails she's been sending. Conan, then knocks at the door and claims back his phone saying that he didn't want people looking inside because of messages he received from a girl he likes. It is later showed that Conan actually exchanged his phone with Agasa's (which are both of the same model) and used his phone upstairs to call Ran, while she was experimenting with the Professor's phone, to create this whole alibi. Shinichi then tells Ran that she now knows his phone number. And Ran, pleased with the situation, clears her mind out of all suspicions she had about Conan's identity<ref>[[Ran's Suspicions|Episode 400: Ran's Suspicions]]</ref> - at least, consciously.

====Episode 574====

During "[[The Whereabouts of the Embarrassing Charm]]" case we can see that Ran's suspicions are arising again. This is thanks to Heiji, openly revealed the fingerprint matching during the "Murder, Shinichi Kudo" case. Kazuha gave a likely, but not to Conan or Heiji, explanation on how Shinichi's fingerprints got onto the handcuff's piece of chain. However, for some reason Ran talked directly to Conan, which he pointed out that she is talking to the wrong person. Unconsciously she thinks she is talking to Shinichi.

====Episode 691====

In [[Volume 77|manga chapter 814]] / [[Yusaku_Kudo%27s_Cold_Case|Anime episode 690-691]], Conan and the girls solve a case similar to one [[Yusaku Kudo]] abandoned 10 years ago. While explaining the solution, Conan talks so convincingly that Ran feels a strong impression that Shinichi is the one speaking. It unnerves her to the point where she stops Conan, but he states that he's only reading Shinichi's e-mail.

=== Family & Friends ===
==== Shinichi Kudo ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Image:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Shinichi and Ran]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] and Ran Mouri have been friends ever since childhood.<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> As teenagers, their closeness has developed into romantic feelings for each other. Ran recalls that she realized she loved Shinichi during their trip to New York together.<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 286-288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case]]</ref> However, when Shinichi vanishes and Conan appears, her regard for Shinichi is mostly subsumed by her worry for his well-being. Conan tries to call her using his bowtie to impersonate his usual voice in order to allay her fears, but his long absence with no explanation other than a "tough case to solve" leaves her worried and hurt that even the times he does briefly appear, he vanishes before anything meaningful can be said. Shinichi also loves Ran and hates to see her hurt either emotionally or physically. Even as Conan he is very protective of her. For a long time, Shinichi has said nothing of his feelings so that his absence won't hurt Ran worse than it already does; he also wishes to tell Ran the truth about his identity but chooses her safety above their happiness.

[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|225px|[[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] reveals his feelings for Ran.]]
Ran and Shinichi have shared many romantic moments, such as when Shinichi bought Ran a pair of red gloves for Christmas,<ref name=Karaoke>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> or when he pretended that as Shinichi, while she was asleep he ate the Valentine's Day chocolate that she had made for him.<ref>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> In London, Ran's distress at Shinichi's seeming coldness to her care for him led Shinichi to confess his feelings for her—an act that left Ran so stunned that she didn't say anything about her own feelings in return. Sonoko speculates that Ran's omission will make Shinichi move on, but Conan is well aware of Ran's feelings already. Shinichi and Ran also appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making them almost impossibly aware of when the other is in extreme danger, and often able to sense the other's worried thoughts.<ref>[[Volume_36#File_372_-_The_Most_in_This_World...|Volume 36, File 372: "The Most in This World..."]] and [[Volume_37#File_373_-_Bye_Bye| Volume 37, File 373: "Bye-Bye"]]</ref>

==== Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Mouri family}}
Ran remains close to both [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Eri Kisaki|Eri]] even though they have been separated for ten years. Her constant hope is that they finally get together again, and on occasion she even plays (re-)matchmaker by arranging not-so-accidental meetings between them. However, while possible, any reunion has so far been constantly hampered by their mutual stubbornness as well as the occasional criminal incident taking place in the immediate vicinity.

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Despite having rather different temperaments and personalities, Kazuha and Ran have several things in common, including: proficiency in a martial art, father's connection to police work and detective work, and detective-obsessed childhood love interests. Kazuha was initially cold and rude to Ran, suspecting her of being interested in Heiji. However, thanks to Kazuha's frankness and Ran's accommodating nature, the girls quickly overcame this misunderstanding. They have since become close friends and seem to regard each other as confidantes, since they are in similar romantic situations: Ran and Shinichi cannot confess their feelings for each other, as Shinichi is, aside from telephone calls, physically absent from her life, and Kazuha and Heiji cannot confess their feelings for each other due to their own stubbornness and irascibility. While Conan/Shinichi and Heiji are on cases together, Ran and Kazuha almost always spend the time together. When Kazuha visits the Mouris' in Tokyo with Heiji, she is shown to share Ran's bed.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
[[Heiji]] acts brotherly toward Ran, at several occasions, he often called her "sister" (neechan in Japanese). Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side. Despite this, they have become very good friends.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
[[Image:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Ran and Sonoko]]
[[File:691-6.png|thumb|left|Sonoko likes to tease Ran]]

[[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] and Ran have been best friends ever since they were children.<ref name=Magic>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko was often there to help Ran whenever she was bullied by other school children, more so than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]].<ref name=Magic /> Sonoko and Ran are often shown walking together after school. Sonoko often invites Ran to join her on trips or events hosted by the Suzuki family (most commonly her [[Jirokichi Suzuki|uncle]]'s showdowns with [[Kaitou Kid]]). They also go out shopping or to karaoke together.<ref name=Karaoke />

Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=Loli>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

Meanwhile, even though Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in their friendship, not going to ski vacations with Sonoko because she doesn't have the money, when she knows that Sonoko would pay for her to go.<ref name=Friendship>[[Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money|Episode 329-330: Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money]]</ref> This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.

Before meeting [[Makoto Kyogoku|her boyfriend]], Sonoko was sometimes envious that Ran always got more attention from boys,<ref>[[Volume_22#File_219_-_Go_On.2C_Sonoko.21|Volume 22, File 219, Page 4.]]</ref> but this didn't affect the deep friendship between them.

=== Detective Boys ===
==== Ai Haibara ====
[[Image:Ran saves Ai aspect ratio fixed.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Ran saved Ai Haibara as she was about to be shot by [[Vermouth]] and [[Calvados]].]]
There are instances where [[Haibara]] will caution Conan from actions that involve Ran, though it's assumed this is due merely to the fact that she wants to keep her identity hidden. At one point, she was very cold and distant towards Ran, just like she was to most other people. Ran believed that it was because that Haibara had hated her.<ref>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref> However, later that day, after hearing Ran speak about the nature of justice to a criminal, Haibara finally properly introduced herself to Ran and they slowly became friends.

Haibara considers Ran to resemble her older sister, Akemi Miyano, so she takes special interest in protecting her. These feelings began after Ran jumped through a slew of bullets from [[Calvados]] (and later [[Vermouth]]), to save Haibara and hold her down to the ground to shield her from the gunfire.<ref name="e345">[[Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon|Episode 345: Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon]]</ref> Haibara is reminded of Akemi, and begins to treat Ran with more personal investment. When at a later point Haibara learns that [[Korn]], [[Chianti]], and the rest of the Black Organization are lurking about, Haibara begs for Ran to stay at Agasa's house, immediately thinking of her own sister's death, and wanting to keep Ran safe.<ref>[[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!]]</ref>

=== Black Organization ===
==== Vermouth ====
[[Image:Ran saves Vermouth.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Ran saved Vermouth (who was disguising as a serial killer) back in New York]]
Ran was a fan of the actress [[Sharon Vineyard]] and is currently unaware about Sharon's double-life as Chris Vineyard and Vermouth. Vermouth has a great deal of respect for Ran and protects her from the Organization's activities because Ran unknowingly saved a disguised Vermouth from falling to her death during the Golden Apple case (even though she was about to kill Ran).<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 286-288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case]]</ref> Vermouth's codename for Ran is "Angel".

=== Others ===
==== Eisuke Hondou ====
In [[The Blind Spot in the Karaoke Box]], [[Eisuke Hondou|Eisuke]] expresses romantic interest in Ran. He admits to Conan that he loves Ran and claims that he wants take Ran to America to live happily ever after there, and to ask for Shinichi's permission. Conan, without hesitating, refuses his permission, which confirms his true identity to Eisuke.

====Tomoaki Araide====
[[Tomoaki Araide]] and Ran Mouri became friends while Araide was acting as a temporary basketball coach in place of a teacher who broke his leg. During "The Unseen Angle of the Darkness" Conan wrongly came to the conclusion that Ran was attracted to Araide. In truth she wanted to borrow his sweater in order to knit a similarly patterned one for Shinichi. Some anime-original features play with the idea that Araide is interested in Ran, most notably in the OVA story [[The Stranger from Ten Years Later]] where he proposed to her.

====Subaru Okiya====
[[File:691-4.png|thumb|Ran apologizing Subaru]]

Ran lied [[Subaru]] about Shinichi's fact because she felt something terrible will happen to Shinichi if she doing so. She makes Subaru confuses about Shinichi and "Kinichi" but later in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]], Ran apologizes Subaru for lying him and tell the truth. In this episode, Subaru finds out that Conan is Shinichi.

== Fan theories ==
*''Ran's 17th birthday will play a major role during the main plot of Detective Conan.''

In an interview given on January 3, 2012, Gosho Aoyama revealed that there is an "obstacle" preventing him from revealing Ran's birth date, "but since the birthday hasn't passed Ran is 16 right now".<ref name="Goshodayinterview" />

== Name origin ==
Ran's Japanese name derives from the Japanese rendering of [[Maurice Leblanc|Maurice Leblanc]] (from ''Mouri''su Rubu''ran'', according to Aoyama).

== Trivia ==
* Her first phone (the pink one) was given by [[Shinichi Kudo]].
* Gosho Aoyama, the creator of the ''Detective Conan'' series, stated that Ran is one of his favorite female characters.<ref>Monthly B.L.T. magazine interview for the 16th Movie Eleventh Striker (approx April 29, 2012)<br />
Ｑ. 兰など素敌な女の子たちが登场しているが、『名探侦コナン』という作品の中で特に好きな女の子は谁か？<br />
Q. Charming girls like Ran appears (in your work). In the work called Detective Conan, which female character do you especially like?<br />
⇒やっぱヒロインの兰かな。好きなのは兰、そして特别な女の子が灰原かな。こなん通信社の中で灰原の一言もオレが考えているんだけど、ほぼ灰原はオレの代弁者になっているね。あと兰は勇往迈进というか（新一のことを）待っていてくれるのは嬉しいというか…あと强いしね。ちなみに女の子が强いシーンを描くのって嬉しい。今、世良ちゃんも出ているけど、描くのが楽しい…目の下にクマがあるけど(笑)。<br />
A. I guess it would have to be the heroine, Ran. I like Ran, and the special girl would be Haibara. I think about Haibara's comments in the Conan News Agency, too; she's become my spokeswoman, hasn't she? Ran is full of courage, and she waits for Shinichi, which makes (Gosho?) happy . . . she's strong, too. By the way, I feel happy drawing scenes where girls are strong. Right now, Sera-chan is appearing, too, and it's fun to draw (her) . . . although, she has bags under her eyes (laughs).</ref>
* On her phone, there is a blissful sea cucumber key-ring.

'''{{nihongo|Ran Mouri|毛利蘭|Mōri Ran}}''', also known as '''Rachel Moore''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is the 2nd protagonist in the manga and anime series, ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Shinichi Kudo]].

==Background==
[[File:Child Ran and Fusae.jpg|thumb|left|First Grade Ran meets [[Fusae Campbell]] ten years ago and borrows her umbrella]]
Ran is a childhood friend of [[Shinichi Kudo]]. She is the daughter of [[Kogoro Mouri]], a private detective, and [[Eri Kisaki]], a lawyer. Her parents separated when she was seven,<ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> and one of her biggest goals is to get them back together. Her best friend besides Shinichi is her classmate [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], who often teases her about her relationship with Shinichi.

Over a year before the series' start, Ran and Shinichi visited Shinichi's parents in New York. They met [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother]] and her actress friend, [[Sharon Vineyard]] (also known as Vermouth, a member of the [[Black Organization]]). Later that evening, Vermouth disguised as a serial killer to do BO work, and was saved by Ran and Shinichi who encountered her on their way back from a show-turned-murder case. Vermouth have fallen to her death, but Ran caught her arm and Shinichi helped her pull Vermouth to safety. Due to this, Sharon gave Ran the nickname "Angel", and Shinichi the nickname "Cool Guy".<ref>[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volumes 34-35, Files 350-354: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Vermouth later showed hesitance to kill Ran and later Conan as well,<ref name="e345" /> but whether or not it was because of any emotional attachment is unclear. It was during this trip that Ran realized her feelings for Shinichi.

After Shinichi's disappearance, Ran met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was introduced by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] as a "distant relative". At Agasa's request, Ran agreed to look after him, and immediately came to think of him as a surrogate little brother.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> Ran has come to suspect Conan's identity multiple times, but Conan always manages a sufficient alibi to satisfy her concerns.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Ran's greatest personality trait is that she genuinely cares for those she loves. She is also patient, kind, and nurturing. Like Shinichi, she highly values justice to the point of idealism. To avoid making Shinichi choose between her and his important case (really an excuse because Shinichi has turned into Conan and can't return), she has decided to wait for him to finish it, trusting his promise that he will come back despite their separation causing Ran a lot of emotional pain. Ran is also very hot-blooded and tends to act on impulses when the people she cares about are involved; the combination of jumping to conclusions and not hesitating to use karate on those who she perceives to have wronged someone have led to several "near-miss" misunderstandings. Early on, she would become violently suspicious if she thought Shinichi was philandering, although more recently his confessions have lead her to trust his intentions.

Ran can be very brave and resourceful when she wants to be, and rescues Conan from trouble on occasion. However, she has an irrational fear of the supernatural and is thus—unlike her friend Sonoko—absolutely no fan of anything related to the horror genre.<ref name="e274">[[Truth About the Haunted House|Episode 274-275: Truth About the Haunted House]]</ref> She also constantly tries to reunite her father and mother again, though with little success, thanks to the mutual stubbornness of both parents. Ran is typically unaware of her attractiveness, and usually remains oblivious when men try to flirt with her, often to Sonoko's exasperation. If made aware, Ran doesn't respond in kind due to her feelings for Shinichi. Even though Ran is in love with Shinichi, she has repeatedly failed to convey her feelings because she suddenly becomes self conscious.

Ran is very self-sufficient for her age, since her father is often drunk, slovenly, and fiscally irresponsible. She handles many of the Mouri household's financial affairs and all the cooking and housework. She also ensures Kogoro doesn't slack off on his job, is on his best behavior for client meetings, and she often greets and provides refreshments for potential clients. She also appreciates fine art. Ran is noted by both Shinichi and Shuichi Akai to cry a lot. <ref> Manga file: "Ran's Tears"</ref>

==Appearance==
Ran is a light-skinned girl of average height. She is slender in frame, yet sports an athletic and fairly curvaceous built. She has big blue eyes and dark brown hair. Her hair is straight and hip-length tucked behind her ears with short wavy bangs over her forehead. What was originally a wave in her bangs has evolved into a stylized triangular point as the manga has progressed.

== Abilities ==
[[File:691-16.png|thumb|Ran beats a gangster]]

Ran's most notable ability is her great prowess in martial arts; she is skilled enough in karate to win regional tournaments at the high-school level. Ran is the captain and ace of the karate team of Teitan High School.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> She is also well-trained in Judo by her father. Her deceptive strength and skill have been seen repeatedly, both from her ability to effortlessly smash stone and other very sturdy objects and also take out various assailants. In the ninth movie, ''[[Strategy Above the Depths]]'', Conan states that Ran has an unusual amount of stamina.<ref name="m9">[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref> Despite her prowess, she may not always be able to fight if scared too much.<ref name="m2" /> In the fourth movie (''[[Captured in Her Eyes]]''), Ran also was unable to fight due to suffering of amnesia at the time, but as soon as she recovered her memories she also got the use of her abilities back and incapacitated the culprit who was about to kill her and Conan.<ref name="m4">[[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]]</ref>

Ran is also very skilled in running a household, including sewing and cooking. She is musically talented, noted to be a very good singer and able to memorize and transcrive the notes for the song ''Come Spring'', and she can also play the piano well. She also is astonishingly lucky at gambling, lotteries, and any game of chance, including poker.<ref>[[Volume 8]]</ref><ref name="e75">[[Loan Company President's Murder Case|Episode 75: Loan Company President's Murder Case]]</ref> Ran is also considered very beautiful as many men become infatuated with her as noted by Sonoko (much to Sonoko's annoyance); Ran was once even offered a modeling job. Ran also has a very good memory for history, and has used her knowledge to contribute to a case investigation more than once.

[[File:Ran_suspecting_Conan.jpg|thumb|Episode 400]]
[[File:574-1.png|thumb|Episode 574]]
[[File:691-13.png|thumb|Episode 691]]

In time, Ran comes to suspect that Conan is actually Shinichi, despite what her common sense would say, but he always manages to trick her and prove her wrong. There are, however, occasions where she appears to be sure that Shinichi and Conan are one and the same.

====Episode 007====

The first time Ran suspects Conan is [[episode 7]]. After seeing how Conan, like Shinichi, can deduce someone's occupation by just touching the person's hand, Ran becomes very suspicious and keeps an eye on Conan during the whole case. However, Professor Agasa calls Ran with the voice changing bowtie at the end, freeing Conan of suspicion for a while.

====Episode 096====

[[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|Another time]], when Ran finds Conan asleep on the sofa, she takes off his glasses and notices the striking resemblance he has to Shinichi as a child. She later confronts Conan about this resemblance, his similar powers of deduction, and even his shared lack of any musical knowledge. However, Shinichi's mother unexpectedly shows up and covers for Conan by explaining that Conan resembles Shinichi because they are distant relatives and that Conan possesses Shinichi's deductive ability because he admires Shinichi and learns from him.

====Episode 191====

Despite apologizing to Conan for doubting him, Ran does not lose her suspicions, but keeps them to herself for awhile.<ref>[[Volume 26|Volume 26, File 254: "An Infatuated Heart"]]</ref> [[The Desperate Revival|When Conan is critically injured]] and requires a blood donation, Ran donates her blood without hesitation, knowing she and Shinichi share the same rare blood type. Since this act proves Ran's suspicions are correct, with the help of [[Ai Haibara]], Conan manages to fool Ran by allowing Shinichi to appear before her while Conan (Ai Haibara in disguise) is present.

====Episode 400====

In [[Ran's Suspicions]], Conan once forgets his cell phone on the couch and Ran, in the room at the time, remembers to send an email to Shinichi to let him know that she's going with her father on a case and that his presence would be most welcome as Kogoro could use the help. Right after sending the message, Conan's phone starts vibrating. Ran, quite perplexed by the perfect timing, checks his phone only to discover a new email (she hasn't seen the content yet). At that moment, Conan enters the room, and seeing his phone in Ran's hands, rushes towards it while shouting and grabs it back asking: "''Did you look?''". He quickly understands that Ran's email may have risen doubts about his identity.<ref name="e398">[[The Weird Family's Commission|Episode 398-399: The Weird Family's Commission]]</ref>

Following this event, Ran first believes that Shinichi often contacts Conan without her knowing, which would in some way explain how he always seems to help out on cases. Later on, after seeing Conan give an important clue to the investigation team without making use of his cell phone (to eventually contact Shinichi like she was suspecting), she starts to believe that Conan is actually Shinichi thinking that past occurrences of both being present at the same time was just a trick he used to fool her.<ref name="e398" />

At the end of the day, Ran is able to retrieve Conan's phone. Late at night, after waiting for everybody to go to bed, she tries to get past the phone's PIN code to check whether her email is there or not. This, to her, would be undeniable proof that Conan is indeed Shinichi. After finally guessing the number equivalent of "Sherlock" to be the PIN code, she's surprised not to see her email there. She instantly tries a few times to resend another email but nothing comes up on Conan's phone. That's when Shinichi calls her complaining about the numerous emails she's been sending. Conan, then knocks at the door and claims back his phone saying that he didn't want people looking inside because of messages he received from a girl he likes. It is later showed that Conan actually exchanged his phone with Agasa's (which are both of the same model) and used his phone upstairs to call Ran, while she was experimenting with the Professor's phone, to create this whole alibi. Shinichi then tells Ran that she now knows his phone number. And Ran, pleased with the situation, clears her mind out of all suspicions she had about Conan's identity<ref>[[Ran's Suspicions|Episode 400: Ran's Suspicions]]</ref> - at least, consciously.

====Episode 574====

During "[[The Whereabouts of the Embarrassing Charm]]" case we can see that Ran's suspicions are arising again. This is thanks to Heiji, openly revealed the fingerprint matching during the "Murder, Shinichi Kudo" case. Kazuha gave a likely, but not to Conan or Heiji, explanation on how Shinichi's fingerprints got onto the handcuff's piece of chain. However, for some reason Ran talked directly to Conan, which he pointed out that she is talking to the wrong person. Unconsciously she thinks she is talking to Shinichi.

====Episode 691====

In [[Volume 77|manga chapter 814]] / [[Yusaku_Kudo%27s_Cold_Case|Anime episode 690-691]], Conan and the girls solve a case similar to one [[Yusaku Kudo]] abandoned 10 years ago. While explaining the solution, Conan talks so convincingly that Ran feels a strong impression that Shinichi is the one speaking. It unnerves her to the point where she stops Conan, but he states that he's only reading Shinichi's e-mail.

=== Family & Friends ===
==== Shinichi Kudo ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Image:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Shinichi and Ran]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] and Ran Mouri have been friends ever since childhood.<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> As teenagers, their closeness has developed into romantic feelings for each other. Ran recalls that she realized she loved Shinichi during their trip to New York together.<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 286-288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case]]</ref> However, when Shinichi vanishes and Conan appears, her regard for Shinichi is mostly subsumed by her worry for his well-being. Conan tries to call her using his bowtie to impersonate his usual voice in order to allay her fears, but his long absence with no explanation other than a "tough case to solve" leaves her worried and hurt that even the times he does briefly appear, he vanishes before anything meaningful can be said. Shinichi also loves Ran and hates to see her hurt either emotionally or physically. Even as Conan he is very protective of her. For a long time, Shinichi has said nothing of his feelings so that his absence won't hurt Ran worse than it already does; he also wishes to tell Ran the truth about his identity but chooses her safety above their happiness.

[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|225px|[[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] reveals his feelings for Ran.]]
Ran and Shinichi have shared many romantic moments, such as when Shinichi bought Ran a pair of red gloves for Christmas,<ref name=Karaoke>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> or when he pretended that as Shinichi, while she was asleep he ate the Valentine's Day chocolate that she had made for him.<ref>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> In London, Ran's distress at Shinichi's seeming coldness to her care for him led Shinichi to confess his feelings for her—an act that left Ran so stunned that she didn't say anything about her own feelings in return. Sonoko speculates that Ran's omission will make Shinichi move on, but Conan is well aware of Ran's feelings already. Shinichi and Ran also appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making them almost impossibly aware of when the other is in extreme danger, and often able to sense the other's worried thoughts.<ref>[[Volume_36#File_372_-_The_Most_in_This_World...|Volume 36, File 372: "The Most in This World..."]] and [[Volume_37#File_373_-_Bye_Bye| Volume 37, File 373: "Bye-Bye"]]</ref>

==== Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Mouri family}}
Ran remains close to both [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Eri Kisaki|Eri]] even though they have been separated for ten years. Her constant hope is that they finally get together again, and on occasion she even plays (re-)matchmaker by arranging not-so-accidental meetings between them. However, while possible, any reunion has so far been constantly hampered by their mutual stubbornness as well as the occasional criminal incident taking place in the immediate vicinity.

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Despite having rather different temperaments and personalities, Kazuha and Ran have several things in common, including: proficiency in a martial art, father's connection to police work and detective work, and detective-obsessed childhood love interests. Kazuha was initially cold and rude to Ran, suspecting her of being interested in Heiji. However, thanks to Kazuha's frankness and Ran's accommodating nature, the girls quickly overcame this misunderstanding. They have since become close friends and seem to regard each other as confidantes, since they are in similar romantic situations: Ran and Shinichi cannot confess their feelings for each other, as Shinichi is, aside from telephone calls, physically absent from her life, and Kazuha and Heiji cannot confess their feelings for each other due to their own stubbornness and irascibility. While Conan/Shinichi and Heiji are on cases together, Ran and Kazuha almost always spend the time together. When Kazuha visits the Mouris' in Tokyo with Heiji, she is shown to share Ran's bed.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
[[Heiji]] acts brotherly toward Ran, at several occasions, he often called her "sister" (neechan in Japanese). Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side. Despite this, they have become very good friends.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
[[Image:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Ran and Sonoko]]
[[File:691-6.png|thumb|left|Sonoko likes to tease Ran]]

[[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] and Ran have been best friends ever since they were children.<ref name=Magic>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko was often there to help Ran whenever she was bullied by other school children, more so than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]].<ref name=Magic /> Sonoko and Ran are often shown walking together after school. Sonoko often invites Ran to join her on trips or events hosted by the Suzuki family (most commonly her [[Jirokichi Suzuki|uncle]]'s showdowns with [[Kaitou Kid]]). They also go out shopping or to karaoke together.<ref name=Karaoke />

Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=Loli>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

Meanwhile, even though Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in their friendship, not going to ski vacations with Sonoko because she doesn't have the money, when she knows that Sonoko would pay for her to go.<ref name=Friendship>[[Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money|Episode 329-330: Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money]]</ref> This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.

Before meeting [[Makoto Kyogoku|her boyfriend]], Sonoko was sometimes envious that Ran always got more attention from boys,<ref>[[Volume_22#File_219_-_Go_On.2C_Sonoko.21|Volume 22, File 219, Page 4.]]</ref> but this didn't affect the deep friendship between them.

=== Detective Boys ===
==== Ai Haibara ====
[[Image:Ran saves Ai aspect ratio fixed.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Ran saved Ai Haibara as she was about to be shot by [[Vermouth]] and [[Calvados]].]]
There are instances where [[Haibara]] will caution Conan from actions that involve Ran, though it's assumed this is due merely to the fact that she wants to keep her identity hidden. At one point, she was very cold and distant towards Ran, just like she was to most other people. Ran believed that it was because that Haibara had hated her.<ref>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref> However, later that day, after hearing Ran speak about the nature of justice to a criminal, Haibara finally properly introduced herself to Ran and they slowly became friends.

Haibara considers Ran to resemble her older sister, Akemi Miyano, so she takes special interest in protecting her. These feelings began after Ran jumped through a slew of bullets from [[Calvados]] (and later [[Vermouth]]), to save Haibara and hold her down to the ground to shield her from the gunfire.<ref name="e345">[[Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon|Episode 345: Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon]]</ref> Haibara is reminded of Akemi, and begins to treat Ran with more personal investment. When at a later point Haibara learns that [[Korn]], [[Chianti]], and the rest of the Black Organization are lurking about, Haibara begs for Ran to stay at Agasa's house, immediately thinking of her own sister's death, and wanting to keep Ran safe.<ref>[[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!]]</ref>

=== Black Organization ===
==== Vermouth ====
[[Image:Ran saves Vermouth.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Ran saved Vermouth (who was disguising as a serial killer) back in New York]]
Ran was a fan of the actress [[Sharon Vineyard]] and is currently unaware about Sharon's double-life as Chris Vineyard and Vermouth. Vermouth has a great deal of respect for Ran and protects her from the Organization's activities because Ran unknowingly saved a disguised Vermouth from falling to her death during the Golden Apple case (even though she was about to kill Ran).<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 286-288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case]]</ref> Vermouth's codename for Ran is "Angel".

=== Others ===
==== Eisuke Hondou ====
In [[The Blind Spot in the Karaoke Box]], [[Eisuke Hondou|Eisuke]] expresses romantic interest in Ran. He admits to Conan that he loves Ran and claims that he wants take Ran to America to live happily ever after there, and to ask for Shinichi's permission. Conan, without hesitating, refuses his permission, which confirms his true identity to Eisuke.

====Tomoaki Araide====
[[Tomoaki Araide]] and Ran Mouri became friends while Araide was acting as a temporary basketball coach in place of a teacher who broke his leg. During "The Unseen Angle of the Darkness" Conan wrongly came to the conclusion that Ran was attracted to Araide. In truth she wanted to borrow his sweater in order to knit a similarly patterned one for Shinichi. Some anime-original features play with the idea that Araide is interested in Ran, most notably in the OVA story [[The Stranger from Ten Years Later]] where he proposed to her.

====Subaru Okiya====
[[File:691-4.png|thumb|Ran apologizing Subaru]]

Ran lied [[Subaru]] about Shinichi's fact because she felt something terrible will happen to Shinichi if she doing so. She makes Subaru confuses about Shinichi and "Kinichi" but later in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]], Ran apologizes Subaru for lying him and tell the truth. In this episode, Subaru finds out that Conan is Shinichi.

* Her first phone (the pink one) was given by [[Shinichi Kudo]].
* Gosho Aoyama, the creator of the ''Detective Conan'' series, stated that Ran is one of his favorite female characters.<ref>Monthly B.L.T. magazine interview for the 16th Movie Eleventh Striker (approx April 29, 2012)<br />
Ｑ. 兰など素敌な女の子たちが登场しているが、『名探侦コナン』という作品の中で特に好きな女の子は谁か？<br />
Q. Charming girls like Ran appears (in your work). In the work called Detective Conan, which female character do you especially like?<br />
⇒やっぱヒロインの兰かな。好きなのは兰、そして特别な女の子が灰原かな。こなん通信社の中で灰原の一言もオレが考えているんだけど、ほぼ灰原はオレの代弁者になっているね。あと兰は勇往迈进というか（新一のことを）待っていてくれるのは嬉しいというか…あと强いしね。ちなみに女の子が强いシーンを描くのって嬉しい。今、世良ちゃんも出ているけど、描くのが楽しい…目の下にクマがあるけど(笑)。<br />
A. I guess it would have to be the heroine, Ran. I like Ran, and the special girl would be Haibara. I think about Haibara's comments in the Conan News Agency, too; she's become my spokeswoman, hasn't she? Ran is full of courage, and she waits for Shinichi, which makes (Gosho?) happy . . . she's strong, too. By the way, I feel happy drawing scenes where girls are strong. Right now, Sera-chan is appearing, too, and it's fun to draw (her) . . . although, she has bags under her eyes (laughs).</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Ran Mouri|毛利蘭|Mōri Ran}}''', also known as '''Rachel Moore''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is the 2nd protagonist in the manga and anime series, ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Shinichi Kudo]].

==Background==
[[File:Child Ran and Fusae.jpg|thumb|left|First Grade Ran meets [[Fusae Campbell]] ten years ago and borrows her umbrella]]
Ran is a childhood friend of [[Shinichi Kudo]]. She is the daughter of [[Kogoro Mouri]], a private detective, and [[Eri Kisaki]], a lawyer. Her parents separated when she was seven,<ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> and one of her biggest goals is to get them back together. Her best friend besides Shinichi is her classmate [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], who often teases her about her relationship with Shinichi.

Over a year before the series' start, Ran and Shinichi visited Shinichi's parents in New York. They met [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother]] and her actress friend, [[Sharon Vineyard]] (also known as Vermouth, a member of the [[Black Organization]]). Later that evening, Vermouth disguised as a serial killer to do BO work, and was saved by Ran and Shinichi who encountered her on their way back from a show-turned-murder case. Vermouth have fallen to her death, but Ran caught her arm and Shinichi helped her pull Vermouth to safety. Due to this, Sharon gave Ran the nickname "Angel", and Shinichi the nickname "Cool Guy".<ref>[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volumes 34-35, Files 350-354: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Vermouth later showed hesitance to kill Ran and later Conan as well,<ref name="e345" /> but whether or not it was because of any emotional attachment is unclear. It was during this trip that Ran realized her feelings for Shinichi.

After Shinichi's disappearance, Ran met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was introduced by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] as a "distant relative". At Agasa's request, Ran agreed to look after him, and immediately came to think of him as a surrogate little brother.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> Ran has come to suspect Conan's identity multiple times, but Conan always manages a sufficient alibi to satisfy her concerns.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Ran's greatest personality trait is that she genuinely cares for those she loves. She is also patient, kind, and nurturing. Like Shinichi, she highly values justice to the point of idealism. To avoid making Shinichi choose between her and his important case (really an excuse because Shinichi has turned into Conan and can't return), she has decided to wait for him to finish it, trusting his promise that he will come back despite their separation causing Ran a lot of emotional pain. Ran is also very hot-blooded and tends to act on impulses when the people she cares about are involved; the combination of jumping to conclusions and not hesitating to use karate on those who she perceives to have wronged someone have led to several "near-miss" misunderstandings. Early on, she would become violently suspicious if she thought Shinichi was philandering, although more recently his confessions have lead her to trust his intentions.

Ran can be very brave and resourceful when she wants to be, and rescues Conan from trouble on occasion. However, she has an irrational fear of the supernatural and is thus—unlike her friend Sonoko—absolutely no fan of anything related to the horror genre.<ref name="e274">[[Truth About the Haunted House|Episode 274-275: Truth About the Haunted House]]</ref> She also constantly tries to reunite her father and mother again, though with little success, thanks to the mutual stubbornness of both parents. Ran is typically unaware of her attractiveness, and usually remains oblivious when men try to flirt with her, often to Sonoko's exasperation. If made aware, Ran doesn't respond in kind due to her feelings for Shinichi. Even though Ran is in love with Shinichi, she has repeatedly failed to convey her feelings because she suddenly becomes self conscious.

Ran is very self-sufficient for her age, since her father is often drunk, slovenly, and fiscally irresponsible. She handles many of the Mouri household's financial affairs and all the cooking and housework. She also ensures Kogoro doesn't slack off on his job, is on his best behavior for client meetings, and she often greets and provides refreshments for potential clients. She also appreciates fine art. Ran is noted by both Shinichi and Shuichi Akai to cry a lot. <ref> Manga file: "Ran's Tears"</ref>

==Appearance==
Ran is a light-skinned girl of average height. She is slender in frame, yet sports an athletic and fairly curvaceous built. She has big blue eyes and dark brown hair. Her hair is straight and hip-length tucked behind her ears with short wavy bangs over her forehead. What was originally a wave in her bangs has evolved into a stylized triangular point as the manga has progressed.

== Abilities ==
[[File:691-16.png|thumb|Ran beats a gangster]]

Ran's most notable ability is her great prowess in martial arts; she is skilled enough in karate to win regional tournaments at the high-school level. Ran is the captain and ace of the karate team of Teitan High School.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> She is also well-trained in Judo by her father. Her deceptive strength and skill have been seen repeatedly, both from her ability to effortlessly smash stone and other very sturdy objects and also take out various assailants. In the ninth movie, ''[[Strategy Above the Depths]]'', Conan states that Ran has an unusual amount of stamina.<ref name="m9">[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref> Despite her prowess, she may not always be able to fight if scared too much.<ref name="m2" /> In the fourth movie (''[[Captured in Her Eyes]]''), Ran also was unable to fight due to suffering of amnesia at the time, but as soon as she recovered her memories she also got the use of her abilities back and incapacitated the culprit who was about to kill her and Conan.<ref name="m4">[[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]]</ref>

Ran is also very skilled in running a household, including sewing and cooking. She is musically talented, noted to be a very good singer and able to memorize and transcrive the notes for the song ''Come Spring'', and she can also play the piano well. She also is astonishingly lucky at gambling, lotteries, and any game of chance, including poker.<ref>[[Volume 8]]</ref><ref name="e75">[[Loan Company President's Murder Case|Episode 75: Loan Company President's Murder Case]]</ref> Ran is also considered very beautiful as many men become infatuated with her as noted by Sonoko (much to Sonoko's annoyance); Ran was once even offered a modeling job. Ran also has a very good memory for history, and has used her knowledge to contribute to a case investigation more than once.

== Plot overview ==
=== Doubts about Conan's identity ===
[[File:007-1.png|thumb|Episode 007]]
[[File:096-1.png|thumb|Episode 096]]
[[File:191-1.png|thumb|Episode 191]]
[[File:Ran_suspecting_Conan.jpg|thumb|Episode 400]]
[[File:574-1.png|thumb|Episode 574]]
[[File:691-13.png|thumb|Episode 691]]

In time, Ran comes to suspect that Conan is actually Shinichi, despite what her common sense would say, but he always manages to trick her and prove her wrong. There are, however, occasions where she appears to be sure that Shinichi and Conan are one and the same.

====Episode 007====

The first time Ran suspects Conan is [[episode 7]]. After seeing how Conan, like Shinichi, can deduce someone's occupation by just touching the person's hand, Ran becomes very suspicious and keeps an eye on Conan during the whole case. However, Professor Agasa calls Ran with the voice changing bowtie at the end, freeing Conan of suspicion for a while.

====Episode 096====

[[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|Another time]], when Ran finds Conan asleep on the sofa, she takes off his glasses and notices the striking resemblance he has to Shinichi as a child. She later confronts Conan about this resemblance, his similar powers of deduction, and even his shared lack of any musical knowledge. However, Shinichi's mother unexpectedly shows up and covers for Conan by explaining that Conan resembles Shinichi because they are distant relatives and that Conan possesses Shinichi's deductive ability because he admires Shinichi and learns from him.

====Episode 191====

Despite apologizing to Conan for doubting him, Ran does not lose her suspicions, but keeps them to herself for awhile.<ref>[[Volume 26|Volume 26, File 254: "An Infatuated Heart"]]</ref> [[The Desperate Revival|When Conan is critically injured]] and requires a blood donation, Ran donates her blood without hesitation, knowing she and Shinichi share the same rare blood type. Since this act proves Ran's suspicions are correct, with the help of [[Ai Haibara]], Conan manages to fool Ran by allowing Shinichi to appear before her while Conan (Ai Haibara in disguise) is present.

====Episode 400====

In [[Ran's Suspicions]], Conan once forgets his cell phone on the couch and Ran, in the room at the time, remembers to send an email to Shinichi to let him know that she's going with her father on a case and that his presence would be most welcome as Kogoro could use the help. Right after sending the message, Conan's phone starts vibrating. Ran, quite perplexed by the perfect timing, checks his phone only to discover a new email (she hasn't seen the content yet). At that moment, Conan enters the room, and seeing his phone in Ran's hands, rushes towards it while shouting and grabs it back asking: "''Did you look?''". He quickly understands that Ran's email may have risen doubts about his identity.<ref name="e398">[[The Weird Family's Commission|Episode 398-399: The Weird Family's Commission]]</ref>

Following this event, Ran first believes that Shinichi often contacts Conan without her knowing, which would in some way explain how he always seems to help out on cases. Later on, after seeing Conan give an important clue to the investigation team without making use of his cell phone (to eventually contact Shinichi like she was suspecting), she starts to believe that Conan is actually Shinichi thinking that past occurrences of both being present at the same time was just a trick he used to fool her.<ref name="e398" />

At the end of the day, Ran is able to retrieve Conan's phone. Late at night, after waiting for everybody to go to bed, she tries to get past the phone's PIN code to check whether her email is there or not. This, to her, would be undeniable proof that Conan is indeed Shinichi. After finally guessing the number equivalent of "Sherlock" to be the PIN code, she's surprised not to see her email there. She instantly tries a few times to resend another email but nothing comes up on Conan's phone. That's when Shinichi calls her complaining about the numerous emails she's been sending. Conan, then knocks at the door and claims back his phone saying that he didn't want people looking inside because of messages he received from a girl he likes. It is later showed that Conan actually exchanged his phone with Agasa's (which are both of the same model) and used his phone upstairs to call Ran, while she was experimenting with the Professor's phone, to create this whole alibi. Shinichi then tells Ran that she now knows his phone number. And Ran, pleased with the situation, clears her mind out of all suspicions she had about Conan's identity<ref>[[Ran's Suspicions|Episode 400: Ran's Suspicions]]</ref> - at least, consciously.

====Episode 574====

During "[[The Whereabouts of the Embarrassing Charm]]" case we can see that Ran's suspicions are arising again. This is thanks to Heiji, openly revealed the fingerprint matching during the "Murder, Shinichi Kudo" case. Kazuha gave a likely, but not to Conan or Heiji, explanation on how Shinichi's fingerprints got onto the handcuff's piece of chain. However, for some reason Ran talked directly to Conan, which he pointed out that she is talking to the wrong person. Unconsciously she thinks she is talking to Shinichi.

====Episode 691====

In [[Volume 77|manga chapter 814]] / [[Yusaku_Kudo%27s_Cold_Case|Anime episode 690-691]], Conan and the girls solve a case similar to one [[Yusaku Kudo]] abandoned 10 years ago. While explaining the solution, Conan talks so convincingly that Ran feels a strong impression that Shinichi is the one speaking. It unnerves her to the point where she stops Conan, but he states that he's only reading Shinichi's e-mail.

== Relationships analysis ==

=== Family & Friends ===
==== Shinichi Kudo ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Image:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Shinichi and Ran]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] and Ran Mouri have been friends ever since childhood.<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> As teenagers, their closeness has developed into romantic feelings for each other. Ran recalls that she realized she loved Shinichi during their trip to New York together.<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 286-288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case]]</ref> However, when Shinichi vanishes and Conan appears, her regard for Shinichi is mostly subsumed by her worry for his well-being. Conan tries to call her using his bowtie to impersonate his usual voice in order to allay her fears, but his long absence with no explanation other than a "tough case to solve" leaves her worried and hurt that even the times he does briefly appear, he vanishes before anything meaningful can be said. Shinichi also loves Ran and hates to see her hurt either emotionally or physically. Even as Conan he is very protective of her. For a long time, Shinichi has said nothing of his feelings so that his absence won't hurt Ran worse than it already does; he also wishes to tell Ran the truth about his identity but chooses her safety above their happiness.

[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|225px|[[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] reveals his feelings for Ran.]]
Ran and Shinichi have shared many romantic moments, such as when Shinichi bought Ran a pair of red gloves for Christmas,<ref name=Karaoke>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> or when he pretended that as Shinichi, while she was asleep he ate the Valentine's Day chocolate that she had made for him.<ref>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> In London, Ran's distress at Shinichi's seeming coldness to her care for him led Shinichi to confess his feelings for her—an act that left Ran so stunned that she didn't say anything about her own feelings in return. Sonoko speculates that Ran's omission will make Shinichi move on, but Conan is well aware of Ran's feelings already. Shinichi and Ran also appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making them almost impossibly aware of when the other is in extreme danger, and often able to sense the other's worried thoughts.<ref>[[Volume_36#File_372_-_The_Most_in_This_World...|Volume 36, File 372: "The Most in This World..."]] and [[Volume_37#File_373_-_Bye_Bye| Volume 37, File 373: "Bye-Bye"]]</ref>

==== Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Mouri family}}
Ran remains close to both [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Eri Kisaki|Eri]] even though they have been separated for ten years. Her constant hope is that they finally get together again, and on occasion she even plays (re-)matchmaker by arranging not-so-accidental meetings between them. However, while possible, any reunion has so far been constantly hampered by their mutual stubbornness as well as the occasional criminal incident taking place in the immediate vicinity.

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Despite having rather different temperaments and personalities, Kazuha and Ran have several things in common, including: proficiency in a martial art, father's connection to police work and detective work, and detective-obsessed childhood love interests. Kazuha was initially cold and rude to Ran, suspecting her of being interested in Heiji. However, thanks to Kazuha's frankness and Ran's accommodating nature, the girls quickly overcame this misunderstanding. They have since become close friends and seem to regard each other as confidantes, since they are in similar romantic situations: Ran and Shinichi cannot confess their feelings for each other, as Shinichi is, aside from telephone calls, physically absent from her life, and Kazuha and Heiji cannot confess their feelings for each other due to their own stubbornness and irascibility. While Conan/Shinichi and Heiji are on cases together, Ran and Kazuha almost always spend the time together. When Kazuha visits the Mouris' in Tokyo with Heiji, she is shown to share Ran's bed.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
[[Heiji]] acts brotherly toward Ran, at several occasions, he often called her "sister" (neechan in Japanese). Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side. Despite this, they have become very good friends.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
[[Image:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Ran and Sonoko]]
[[File:691-6.png|thumb|left|Sonoko likes to tease Ran]]

[[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] and Ran have been best friends ever since they were children.<ref name=Magic>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko was often there to help Ran whenever she was bullied by other school children, more so than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]].<ref name=Magic /> Sonoko and Ran are often shown walking together after school. Sonoko often invites Ran to join her on trips or events hosted by the Suzuki family (most commonly her [[Jirokichi Suzuki|uncle]]'s showdowns with [[Kaitou Kid]]). They also go out shopping or to karaoke together.<ref name=Karaoke />

Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=Loli>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

Meanwhile, even though Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in their friendship, not going to ski vacations with Sonoko because she doesn't have the money, when she knows that Sonoko would pay for her to go.<ref name=Friendship>[[Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money|Episode 329-330: Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money]]</ref> This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.

Before meeting [[Makoto Kyogoku|her boyfriend]], Sonoko was sometimes envious that Ran always got more attention from boys,<ref>[[Volume_22#File_219_-_Go_On.2C_Sonoko.21|Volume 22, File 219, Page 4.]]</ref> but this didn't affect the deep friendship between them.

=== Detective Boys ===
==== Ai Haibara ====
[[Image:Ran saves Ai aspect ratio fixed.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Ran saved Ai Haibara as she was about to be shot by [[Vermouth]] and [[Calvados]].]]
There are instances where [[Haibara]] will caution Conan from actions that involve Ran, though it's assumed this is due merely to the fact that she wants to keep her identity hidden. At one point, she was very cold and distant towards Ran, just like she was to most other people. Ran believed that it was because that Haibara had hated her.<ref>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref> However, later that day, after hearing Ran speak about the nature of justice to a criminal, Haibara finally properly introduced herself to Ran and they slowly became friends.

Haibara considers Ran to resemble her older sister, Akemi Miyano, so she takes special interest in protecting her. These feelings began after Ran jumped through a slew of bullets from [[Calvados]] (and later [[Vermouth]]), to save Haibara and hold her down to the ground to shield her from the gunfire.<ref name="e345">[[Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon|Episode 345: Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon]]</ref> Haibara is reminded of Akemi, and begins to treat Ran with more personal investment. When at a later point Haibara learns that [[Korn]], [[Chianti]], and the rest of the Black Organization are lurking about, Haibara begs for Ran to stay at Agasa's house, immediately thinking of her own sister's death, and wanting to keep Ran safe.<ref>[[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!]]</ref>

=== Black Organization ===
==== Vermouth ====
[[Image:Ran saves Vermouth.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Ran saved Vermouth (who was disguising as a serial killer) back in New York]]
Ran was a fan of the actress [[Sharon Vineyard]] and is currently unaware about Sharon's double-life as Chris Vineyard and Vermouth. Vermouth has a great deal of respect for Ran and protects her from the Organization's activities because Ran unknowingly saved a disguised Vermouth from falling to her death during the Golden Apple case (even though she was about to kill Ran).<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 286-288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case]]</ref> Vermouth's codename for Ran is "Angel".

=== Others ===
==== Eisuke Hondou ====
In [[The Blind Spot in the Karaoke Box]], [[Eisuke Hondou|Eisuke]] expresses romantic interest in Ran. He admits to Conan that he loves Ran and claims that he wants take Ran to America to live happily ever after there, and to ask for Shinichi's permission. Conan, without hesitating, refuses his permission, which confirms his true identity to Eisuke.

====Tomoaki Araide====
[[Tomoaki Araide]] and Ran Mouri became friends while Araide was acting as a temporary basketball coach in place of a teacher who broke his leg. During "The Unseen Angle of the Darkness" Conan wrongly came to the conclusion that Ran was attracted to Araide. In truth she wanted to borrow his sweater in order to knit a similarly patterned one for Shinichi. Some anime-original features play with the idea that Araide is interested in Ran, most notably in the OVA story [[The Stranger from Ten Years Later]] where he proposed to her.

====Subaru Okiya====
[[File:691-4.png|thumb|Ran apologizing Subaru]]

Ran lied [[Subaru]] about Shinichi's fact because she felt something terrible will happen to Shinichi if she doing so. She makes Subaru confuses about Shinichi and "Kinichi" but later in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]], Ran apologizes Subaru for lying him and tell the truth. In this episode, Subaru finds out that Conan is Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
Ran's Japanese name derives from the Japanese rendering of [[Maurice Leblanc|Maurice Leblanc]] (from ''Mouri''su Rubu''ran'', according to Aoyama).

== Trivia ==
* Her first phone (the pink one) was given by [[Shinichi Kudo]].
* Gosho Aoyama, the creator of the ''Detective Conan'' series, stated that Ran is one of his favorite female characters.<ref>Monthly B.L.T. magazine interview for the 16th Movie Eleventh Striker (approx April 29, 2012)<br />
Ｑ. 兰など素敌な女の子たちが登场しているが、『名探侦コナン』という作品の中で特に好きな女の子は谁か？<br />
Q. Charming girls like Ran appears (in your work). In the work called Detective Conan, which female character do you especially like?<br />
⇒やっぱヒロインの兰かな。好きなのは兰、そして特别な女の子が灰原かな。こなん通信社の中で灰原の一言もオレが考えているんだけど、ほぼ灰原はオレの代弁者になっているね。あと兰は勇往迈进というか（新一のことを）待っていてくれるのは嬉しいというか…あと强いしね。ちなみに女の子が强いシーンを描くのって嬉しい。今、世良ちゃんも出ているけど、描くのが楽しい…目の下にクマがあるけど(笑)。<br />
A. I guess it would have to be the heroine, Ran. I like Ran, and the special girl would be Haibara. I think about Haibara's comments in the Conan News Agency, too; she's become my spokeswoman, hasn't she? Ran is full of courage, and she waits for Shinichi, which makes (Gosho?) happy . . . she's strong, too. By the way, I feel happy drawing scenes where girls are strong. Right now, Sera-chan is appearing, too, and it's fun to draw (her) . . . although, she has bags under her eyes (laughs).</ref>
* On her phone, there is a blissful sea cucumber key-ring.

== Case ==

=== Situation ===

==== Begin Broadcasting ====
Takagi is walking on the sidewalk and he sneezes. When the patrol car came, it's Yumi and asks Takagi that he's on a stakeout but actually Takagi got let off early today. There's somewhere he has to go. Yumi expects it's a date between Takagi and Sato but it's not a date actually.

At the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters, Yumi asks Sato of where Takagi is but she doesn't know. Inspector Megure said he had to go and report to a certain someone. Yumi asks wouldn't Inspector Megure know who this certain person is and Sato answers that it seems like he really didn't say. He just said he'd say once he got back and settled in. Yumi and Sato think it's very suspicious. Sato wonders if Takagi's forgotten the anniversary of Date's death. He's the one who suggested they visit his grave together. Date was a police detective who tutored Takagi. He was a such a tough guy who wouldn't die even if he was killed, and then so easily, in a traffic accident. Date's parents live in Tokyo.

At the airport, Takagi is looking at his notebook planner that on February 2, it says, "Meet with parents" with the circle mark around it. Takagi suddenly cries in tears. He wiped the tears off of his face and turned the page. He got the ring out and thinks about Sato. He seem to have lost confidence in his ability to make Sato happy.

The next day, the Detective Boys are very excited that they're going to be models for pamphlets in a crime-prevention project for children. They're little worried about Professor Agasa and it's because he said he'd come straight over after parking his car but he was really coughing a lot. Also, Takagi's late and he said to phone him when the Detective Boys got to the police headquarters for him to guide them around the PR department that's running it, but he's not answering at all. They think that he's been flirting with Sato and of course Takagi wouldn't do that during his duty when they laugh about it. Suddenly, a strange old man appears and asks the Detective Boys if they are the acquaintances of Wataru Takagi. They are and the old man wants them to give a gift to a senior detective that Takagi's in love with, which that is Sato. He claims to have a message from Takagi for Sato, "That is perishable, so open it quickly. If you delay, tomorrow and the next day it'll be no good." Until sudden, Conan arrives and the strange old man fled. Conan asks what did the guy do. Mitsuhiko thinks that the strange old man is an acquaintance of Takagi. Genta asks where's Agasa and Haibara and Conan answers that Agasa did catch a cold. He went back home with Haibara. (Actually he's faking it, because Conan and Agasa couldn't let Haibara have her picture put on pamphlets after all.) Until sudden, Amuro appears and heard Kogoro that the Detective Boys were going in Professor Agasa's car today to have their pictures taken at police headquarters for a pamphlet. As he told Kogoro that he had to go police headquarters too. Though that's already finished. Conan asks why was Amuro called here and Amuro answers that it was about that case (Detectives' Nocturne) where he crashed his car into the car Conan's kidnapper was driving to stop it. They asked Amuro back in for questioning in deciding whether he'd gone too far. That reminds Conan, Sera said she was called back to police headquarters too. Though what she did was going 100% too far when she stopped the robber by riding a motorcycle. Well, Amuro has another reason for coming here, but he left and said that reason doesn't matter anymore. Genta asks who is that guy and Conan answers that he's a detective and Kogoro's apprentice. Ayumi thinks Amuro's handsome.

In the police headquarters, Sato got shocked hearing Chiba that Takagi was looking at a sticker from a phone booth in his notebook and crying. At a glance, it looked like a cute sticker, but when Chiba asked if it was of Sato, Takagi said, "Don't be so stupid!" while getting angry. Takagi said he'd explain why himself, so Chiba shouldn't say anything. Sato angrily asks Shiratori where's Takagi and Shiratori doesn't know that he hasn't seem him yet today. Suddenly, Sato's cellphone rings and answers it. It's from Conan.

In the hall, the Detective Boys give the present to Sato. When Sato opens it, it's a tablet pc. When she turns it on, the screen shows Takagi that he's been tied up while asleep. If he rolls over and falls, he'll end up being hanged. Takagi regained consciousness and wonders what's going on.

Takagi tries to calm down and remember what happened. He remembered meeting the strange old man last night, he said there was a landscape he wanted Takagi to see, so he brought him to the area. Then from behind, he suddenly drugged him. The footage from the cameras is going to the police headquarters.

At the police headquarters, Sato is showing all the police detectives the tablet pc of Takagi tied up at the unknown building. There are likely three cameras. Video from three angles: straight-on, horizontal and from below, seem to be being broadcast at random. Megure asks Shiratori can they tell where the video's coming from. Shiratori says yes if they can leave it to the Anti-Cybercrime Division. Conan doesn't think they'll be able to straight away. The only thing usable on that tablet pc is the button on the front to turn the video on and off. Other than that, the touch panel, the power button, and even the connector to charge it have been made unusable. Shiratori says if the tablet's taken apart, it can be charged directly from inside, and if they pull the data off the hard disc, they can tell where it's receiving from. Conan then says what happens if they can't watch Takagi anymore because it's been taken apart. They're up against someone who's modified the buttons and wrote a program to disable all input from the touch panel. It'd be wise to assume that they also set it up so that if it's taken apart, the video'll be disabled and not work anymore. Well, they could ask the tablet's network provider to trace it without needing to take the risk, but criminals like this usually use overseas servers, so Conan doesn't think they'll be able to find the source in a short time. But even if it takes quite some time, if there's a chance they can find out, the time limit's tomorrow or the next day though. Conan tells Megure that the strange old man who gave the tablet to the Detective Boys said, "That is perishable, so open it quickly. It'll be no good by tomorrow or the next day." It's probably that if he's left tied up like that, without drinking or eating, he'll reach his limit in three days. Basically, they have until the day after tomorrow. Until sudden, the superintendent of the police headquarters, Kiyonaga Matsumoto appears and asks Megure if it's true that Takagi said he was staying overnight somewhere to meet someone. Megure says yes and he was concerned about the monorail timetable, so he was probably headed for Haneda Airport. Matsumoto orders Megure to contact Haneda Airport and ask if Takagi was on any passengers list last night. He orders Shiratori to go to Takagi's house and check his post and the emails on his computer to find out who he was going to meet. He orders Chiba to watch the tablet's video and don't leave it on constantly. If they can't charge it, then they can't view the video for more than ten hours, so he wants him to turn it on for only ten minutes each hour, and record the video he's watching it, so they can try and find something to identify where he is. Sato asks Matsumoto what should she do and Matsumoto orders Sato to go question the Detective Boys who're waiting in another room. After all, they are precious witnesses who've met the suspect. He also orders to find out what he looked like, and also anything else helpful, like habits or speech patterns. Lastly, he orders every police detectives to investigate everyone connected with Takagi's prior investigations. Everyone, be they suspects or victims. When Conan and Sato are about to go, Sato looks at Takagi on the tablet screen and she will save him.

Meanwhile at the unknown place, Takagi realizes what's going on and suddenly makes his move. The wooden board tilted a little.

While Sato is questioning the Detective Boys, she shows the sketch of an old man to the Detective Boys if it's him or not. When they look at it, they confirm that's him. Mitsuhiko says he started by asking if they are acquaintances of Takagi and they said they are. He also said to give the tablet to Takagi's detective girlfriend. Sato thinks that he might hold a grudge against her too. Conan doesn't think that's the case. The strange old man knew Takagi by his full name, yet only knew Sato as Takagi's detective girlfriend. Sato asks does the old man have any special habits or speech patterns. Genta says there wasn't anything unusual. Suddenly, Chiba came to Sato and said there's trouble about Takagi. When Sato rushes back to the tablet, she sees that Takagi is about to fall off the wooden board. Chiba just turned it on to record the third video today, and he was like that. Suddenly, Takagi is shaking a little and his police notebook came out of his chest pocket. If anyone picks the police notebook and reports it, they'll know Takagi's location. It looks like Takagi's thinking clearly. Now Takagi went back to his prone position.

Superintendent Matsumoto wonders what's going on that Takagi's name wasn't on the passenger list for any flight leaving Haneda last night, there's no clues at all at his house, and there's nobody of notes in cases involving Takagi. Suddenly, the police detective says that last week, he saw Takagi coming out of the Record Office. He was crying and he wondered what records he's been looking at. Matsumoto orders the police detectives to bring every single one of those records.

While Conan and Sato are taking a walk through the hall, Conan learns that the records that Takagi looked at that day were all about women who committed suicide by hanging themselves about a year ago. Three cases in all. They all had no signs of foul play, so they were out of the jurisdiction. The first woman was called Yuuko Tokugi, a sixth year student at the Touto University faculty of medicine. She killed herself in the living room of her flat.

It didn't seem like a very feminine room, but it was meticulously clean, and from the suicide note left at her feet, several days ago she'd hurt someone in a hit and run, and her conscience couldn't bear it any longer. The second woman was a lecturer at an English conversation school, Natalie Kuruma, whose mother was American. From what was written on the calendar at her place, she'd been having dates with her boyfriend almost everyday, but fell to despair when he dumped her. It seemed she had a date planned for the day she committed suicide too.

}}

Her mobile said it. The rapid-response team that were first on the scene said she'd written that in English in an email to her mother. The third woman was the most popular hostess at a bar in Roppongi, Kyouka Hikoue. Even though she earned quite a lot, she lived in an old flat full of empty beer cans. From her diary, she realized that the boyfriend she'd been supporting was just a fraudster wanting to marry her for money, and in a fit of emotion, hung herself.

The fraudster was caught but the charge wasn't fraud, but murder. He'd been shouldering quite large debts, and having trouble with a loan shark. He went and stabbed someone. Sato thinks Date caught him. Of course, Conan never met Date. Straight after catching the fraudster, Date died in a traffic accident.

He'd dropped his notebook, and when he went to pick it up, he was hit by a driver who'd fallen asleep at that wheel, according to Takagi. Takagi happened to be there when it happened. It seems that they were on an all night stakeout, and when they were both heading home in the morning, he was trying to show Takagi something in his notebook when he got hit. The black notebook Takagi's always using, he inherited it from Date. He works hard trying to fill it completely black, as he wants to quickly become as good a detective as Date was. Takagi was good friends with Date. Date was Takagi's mentor, so he even said that the two of them were the "Wataru Brothers". Date's name is Wataru Date. His name was Wataru, just like Takagi's. Well, even though they're both "Wataru", unlike Takagi, who doesn't really notice women, Date was a real Casanova, and though he only had a year on Sato, Date had the face of an old man.

Meanwhile at night, Takagi is still breathing and is still lying in prone position on the wooden board.

== Case ==

=== Situation ===

==== Begin Broadcasting ====
Takagi is walking on the sidewalk and he sneezes. When the patrol car came, it's Yumi and asks Takagi that he's on a stakeout but actually Takagi got let off early today. There's somewhere he has to go. Yumi expects it's a date between Takagi and Sato but it's not a date actually.

At the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters, Yumi asks Sato of where Takagi is but she doesn't know. Inspector Megure said he had to go and report to a certain someone. Yumi asks wouldn't Inspector Megure know who this certain person is and Sato answers that it seems like he really didn't say. He just said he'd say once he got back and settled in. Yumi and Sato think it's very suspicious. Sato wonders if Takagi's forgotten the anniversary of Date's death. He's the one who suggested they visit his grave together. Date was a police detective who tutored Takagi. He was a such a tough guy who wouldn't die even if he was killed, and then so easily, in a traffic accident. Date's parents live in Tokyo.

At the airport, Takagi is looking at his notebook planner that on February 2, it says, "Meet with parents" with the circle mark around it. Takagi suddenly cries in tears. He wiped the tears off of his face and turned the page. He got the ring out and thinks about Sato. He seem to have lost confidence in his ability to make Sato happy.

The next day, the Detective Boys are very excited that they're going to be models for pamphlets in a crime-prevention project for children. They're little worried about Professor Agasa and it's because he said he'd come straight over after parking his car but he was really coughing a lot. Also, Takagi's late and he said to phone him when the Detective Boys got to the police headquarters for him to guide them around the PR department that's running it, but he's not answering at all. They think that he's been flirting with Sato and of course Takagi wouldn't do that during his duty when they laugh about it. Suddenly, a strange old man appears and asks the Detective Boys if they are the acquaintances of Wataru Takagi. They are and the old man wants them to give a gift to a senior detective that Takagi's in love with, which that is Sato. He claims to have a message from Takagi for Sato, "That is perishable, so open it quickly. If you delay, tomorrow and the next day it'll be no good." Until sudden, Conan arrives and the strange old man fled. Conan asks what did the guy do. Mitsuhiko thinks that the strange old man is an acquaintance of Takagi. Genta asks where's Agasa and Haibara and Conan answers that Agasa did catch a cold. He went back home with Haibara. (Actually he's faking it, because Conan and Agasa couldn't let Haibara have her picture put on pamphlets after all.) Until sudden, Amuro appears and heard Kogoro that the Detective Boys were going in Professor Agasa's car today to have their pictures taken at police headquarters for a pamphlet. As he told Kogoro that he had to go police headquarters too. Though that's already finished. Conan asks why was Amuro called here and Amuro answers that it was about that case (Detectives' Nocturne) where he crashed his car into the car Conan's kidnapper was driving to stop it. They asked Amuro back in for questioning in deciding whether he'd gone too far. That reminds Conan, Sera said she was called back to police headquarters too. Though what she did was going 100% too far when she stopped the robber by riding a motorcycle. Well, Amuro has another reason for coming here, but he left and said that reason doesn't matter anymore. Genta asks who is that guy and Conan answers that he's a detective and Kogoro's apprentice. Ayumi thinks Amuro's handsome.

In the police headquarters, Sato got shocked hearing Chiba that Takagi was looking at a sticker from a phone booth in his notebook and crying. At a glance, it looked like a cute sticker, but when Chiba asked if it was of Sato, Takagi said, "Don't be so stupid!" while getting angry. Takagi said he'd explain why himself, so Chiba shouldn't say anything. Sato angrily asks Shiratori where's Takagi and Shiratori doesn't know that he hasn't seem him yet today. Suddenly, Sato's cellphone rings and answers it. It's from Conan.

In the hall, the Detective Boys give the present to Sato. When Sato opens it, it's a tablet pc. When she turns it on, the screen shows Takagi that he's been tied up while asleep. If he rolls over and falls, he'll end up being hanged. Takagi regained consciousness and wonders what's going on.

Takagi tries to calm down and remember what happened. He remembered meeting the strange old man last night, he said there was a landscape he wanted Takagi to see, so he brought him to the area. Then from behind, he suddenly drugged him. The footage from the cameras is going to the police headquarters.

At the police headquarters, Sato is showing all the police detectives the tablet pc of Takagi tied up at the unknown building. There are likely three cameras. Video from three angles: straight-on, horizontal and from below, seem to be being broadcast at random. Megure asks Shiratori can they tell where the video's coming from. Shiratori says yes if they can leave it to the Anti-Cybercrime Division. Conan doesn't think they'll be able to straight away. The only thing usable on that tablet pc is the button on the front to turn the video on and off. Other than that, the touch panel, the power button, and even the connector to charge it have been made unusable. Shiratori says if the tablet's taken apart, it can be charged directly from inside, and if they pull the data off the hard disc, they can tell where it's receiving from. Conan then says what happens if they can't watch Takagi anymore because it's been taken apart. They're up against someone who's modified the buttons and wrote a program to disable all input from the touch panel. It'd be wise to assume that they also set it up so that if it's taken apart, the video'll be disabled and not work anymore. Well, they could ask the tablet's network provider to trace it without needing to take the risk, but criminals like this usually use overseas servers, so Conan doesn't think they'll be able to find the source in a short time. But even if it takes quite some time, if there's a chance they can find out, the time limit's tomorrow or the next day though. Conan tells Megure that the strange old man who gave the tablet to the Detective Boys said, "That is perishable, so open it quickly. It'll be no good by tomorrow or the next day." It's probably that if he's left tied up like that, without drinking or eating, he'll reach his limit in three days. Basically, they have until the day after tomorrow. Until sudden, the superintendent of the police headquarters, Kiyonaga Matsumoto appears and asks Megure if it's true that Takagi said he was staying overnight somewhere to meet someone. Megure says yes and he was concerned about the monorail timetable, so he was probably headed for Haneda Airport. Matsumoto orders Megure to contact Haneda Airport and ask if Takagi was on any passengers list last night. He orders Shiratori to go to Takagi's house and check his post and the emails on his computer to find out who he was going to meet. He orders Chiba to watch the tablet's video and don't leave it on constantly. If they can't charge it, then they can't view the video for more than ten hours, so he wants him to turn it on for only ten minutes each hour, and record the video he's watching it, so they can try and find something to identify where he is. Sato asks Matsumoto what should she do and Matsumoto orders Sato to go question the Detective Boys who're waiting in another room. After all, they are precious witnesses who've met the suspect. He also orders to find out what he looked like, and also anything else helpful, like habits or speech patterns. Lastly, he orders every police detectives to investigate everyone connected with Takagi's prior investigations. Everyone, be they suspects or victims. When Conan and Sato are about to go, Sato looks at Takagi on the tablet screen and she will save him.

Meanwhile at the unknown place, Takagi realizes what's going on and suddenly makes his move. The wooden board tilted a little.

While Sato is questioning the Detective Boys, she shows the sketch of an old man to the Detective Boys if it's him or not. When they look at it, they confirm that's him. Mitsuhiko says he started by asking if they are acquaintances of Takagi and they said they are. He also said to give the tablet to Takagi's detective girlfriend. Sato thinks that he might hold a grudge against her too. Conan doesn't think that's the case. The strange old man knew Takagi by his full name, yet only knew Sato as Takagi's detective girlfriend. Sato asks does the old man have any special habits or speech patterns. Genta says there wasn't anything unusual. Suddenly, Chiba came to Sato and said there's trouble about Takagi. When Sato rushes back to the tablet, she sees that Takagi is about to fall off the wooden board. Chiba just turned it on to record the third video today, and he was like that. Suddenly, Takagi is shaking a little and his police notebook came out of his chest pocket. If anyone picks the police notebook and reports it, they'll know Takagi's location. It looks like Takagi's thinking clearly. Now Takagi went back to his prone position.

Superintendent Matsumoto wonders what's going on that Takagi's name wasn't on the passenger list for any flight leaving Haneda last night, there's no clues at all at his house, and there's nobody of notes in cases involving Takagi. Suddenly, the police detective says that last week, he saw Takagi coming out of the Record Office. He was crying and he wondered what records he's been looking at. Matsumoto orders the police detectives to bring every single one of those records.

While Conan and Sato are taking a walk through the hall, Conan learns that the records that Takagi looked at that day were all about women who committed suicide by hanging themselves about a year ago. Three cases in all. They all had no signs of foul play, so they were out of the jurisdiction. The first woman was called Yuuko Tokugi, a sixth year student at the Touto University faculty of medicine. She killed herself in the living room of her flat.

}}

It didn't seem like a very feminine room, but it was meticulously clean, and from the suicide note left at her feet, several days ago she'd hurt someone in a hit and run, and her conscience couldn't bear it any longer. The second woman was a lecturer at an English conversation school, Natalie Kuruma, whose mother was American. From what was written on the calendar at her place, she'd been having dates with her boyfriend almost everyday, but fell to despair when he dumped her. It seemed she had a date planned for the day she committed suicide too.

}}

Her mobile said it. The rapid-response team that were first on the scene said she'd written that in English in an email to her mother. The third woman was the most popular hostess at a bar in Roppongi, Kyouka Hikoue. Even though she earned quite a lot, she lived in an old flat full of empty beer cans. From her diary, she realized that the boyfriend she'd been supporting was just a fraudster wanting to marry her for money, and in a fit of emotion, hung herself.

The fraudster was caught but the charge wasn't fraud, but murder. He'd been shouldering quite large debts, and having trouble with a loan shark. He went and stabbed someone. Sato thinks Date caught him. Of course, Conan never met Date. Straight after catching the fraudster, Date died in a traffic accident.

He'd dropped his notebook, and when he went to pick it up, he was hit by a driver who'd fallen asleep at that wheel, according to Takagi. Takagi happened to be there when it happened. It seems that they were on an all night stakeout, and when they were both heading home in the morning, he was trying to show Takagi something in his notebook when he got hit. The black notebook Takagi's always using, he inherited it from Date. He works hard trying to fill it completely black, as he wants to quickly become as good a detective as Date was. Takagi was good friends with Date. Date was Takagi's mentor, so he even said that the two of them were the "Wataru Brothers". Date's name is Wataru Date. His name was Wataru, just like Takagi's. Well, even though they're both "Wataru", unlike Takagi, who doesn't really notice women, Date was a real Casanova, and though he only had a year on Sato, Date had the face of an old man.

Meanwhile at night, Takagi is still breathing and is still lying in prone position on the wooden board.

Takefumi Kooriyama's death was an '''accident'''. The death characters were coincidental flukes made by candies and a thumb edge in Kooriyama's case, and coins, the edge of a wallet, and a cigarette in Isao's case. Megure correctly ruled '''Isao's case''' to be a '''theft''' as some thieves stole Isao's wallet post-mortem. The thieves returned to the crime scene and attacked Sera, Ran, Sonoko, and Conan to cover their involvement in the theft. A little Jeet Kun Do, karate, and a well placed soccer ball dispatched the thieves easily. Sera's thoughts at the end of the episode seem to indicate she knows something about Shinichi's past.

=== 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<br>"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 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 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, Asou's son, '''Seiji Asou'''. 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."

| description = 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.

=== File 040 - The Mysterious... Bandaged Man ===
[[Conan Edogawa]] and [[Ran Mouri]] are lost on their way to the secluded mountain villa belonging to the family of Ran's friend and classmate, [[Sonoko Suzuki]]. When they finally stumble across the bridge that leads there, they see a man in a coat and hat with his face wrapped in bandages ahead of them, but then he disappears. Sonoko greets them at the door, meeting Conan for the first time, though she complains that his presence will make it harder for her to land a date with any of the cute guys Sonoko's sister, [[Ayako Suzuki]], invited on the trip. Ran asks if any of them had a bandaged face, which Sonoko denies before sending them up to find their room on the second floor. Without knowing which of the rooms is theirs, Ran accidentally walks in on three men in various states of undress before finding the empty room set aside for her and Conan.

The three men turn out to have been in the same film club in college as Ayako and another woman, Chikako Ikeda. Masaru Ohta was an actor, Hiroki Sumiya was cameraman and did special effects, Ryoichi Takahashi was a handyman and props technician, Ayako covered makeup and costumes, and Chikako, a now-published screenwriter, did directing and writing. As they reminisce, Ayako mentions missing a girl named Atsuko, which immediately raises tension in the room. Chikako loses her temper and snaps that they came to relax, not bring up a death from two years ago. To restore the good atmosphere, Ayako goes to cook dinner and Ryoichi goes to repair part of the roof before it rains. Still looking angry, Chikako leaves alone to take a walk.

As they wait for dinner, Sonoko admires Masaru's good looks, having dismissed Hiroki's plainer appearance and Ryoichi for being overweight. Sonoko also teases Ran for her relationship with [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], before Masaru interrupts and invites Ran out to walk privately in the rain. Ran is too flustered by the invitation to reject it, to Sonoko and Conan's dismay. They follow at a distance, too far away to hear Ran explain to Masaru her feelings for Shinichi. Masaru tells her to find a new guy and offers to fill the role, but a sudden flash of lightning nearby spooks Ran and she runs off alone into the forest. Conan chases after, but she's out of sight — and as she tries to get her bearings alone, the bandaged man sneaks up behind her with an axe!

=== File 041 - The First Victim! ===
At the last second, Ran realizes her attacker is behind her and dodges, but the shock of seeing the bandaged man knocks her off her feet. She screams, and Conan and Sonoko arrive and scare the man off. Back at the mansion, Chikako, Hiroki, and Masaru all deny having seen the man in the forest, as well as Ryoichi and Ayako from around the house, though all five are without alibis. Ryoichi adds that he saw the bandaged man on his trip to the villa, and a few of the others saw a man in a cloak they'd wrongly assumed to be a neighbor, since the villa is the only one on its side of the mountain. Hiroki suggests calling the police to report the suspicious man and the attack, but the phone lines have been cut. Ryoichi panics and runs to the bridge, only to discover that the rope bridge has also been cut. Chikako thinks that the whole affair is a prank intended to frighten them. She tells Ayako that she plans to wait in the house until they can cross the mountain for help after sunrise, until Chikako discovers a mysterious letter slipped under the door to her room. She begs off dinner, saying she's tired and is going to sleep.

Later, in the kitchen, Ran and Sonoko help Ayako make dinner, and Conan asks Ayako about why everyone got tense when "Atsuko" was mentioned. Ayako explains that Atsuko was a film club member who hanged herself two years ago, and the club members have grown distant ever since. Hiroki and Masaru arrive for dinner, and Ryoichi is on his way in from the roof when he says that there's someone outside, near the window. Everyone looks, just in time to see the bandaged man rush by with Chikako in his arms. No one can see where he went in the dark and rain, but Conan grabs a nearby flashlight and jumps out the window to pursue. Masaru and Hiroki take Ryoichi and follow Conan into the forest, where the come upon dismembered body parts, and eventually, Chikako's severed body and head.

=== File 042 - Ran in Trouble! ===

The men report Chikako's death and Hiroki comforts Ayako when she feels responsible for planning the gathering. With no other recourse, the group locks all the doors and windows to the house and plans to summon the police in the morning. As Ran, Sonoko and Conan check the front door, Conan notices that Chikako's house slippers aren't by the door, indicating she didn't leave the house from the front even though she left of her own accord, since the severed legs had shoes on. They find the slippers by the back door, as if she tried to sneak out unseen.

[[File:Volume 5 File 042.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Ran ruins Conan's concentration.]]
In their bedroom, Conan asks Ran why the bandaged man might have attacked Ran as well, but she denies having any enemies. After going to bed, Conan tries to figure out why the bandaged man would also have grabbed Chikako from the back of the house, only to go past the dining room window on the front of the house where he would be sure to be seen. Conan's thoughts are interrupted by Ran asking to sleep next to him, though she tries to deny that she's scared. Conan tries to go back to analysis, only to realize that Ran's close proximity completely derails his train of thought. He decides to sleep, but then the window creaks, and a shadow on the bed resolves into the bandaged man, axe raised yet again to attack Ran.

Conan kicks him Ran off the bed, which also moves him back out of the swing of the axe. Unfortunately, Ran is an incredibly deep sleeper and doesn't wake, despite the impact and movement. The man ignores Conan and goes to attack her again. Conan tackles the man, only to get thrown into the wall above the other bed and sprain his ankle when it impacts the headboard. Desperate, Conan grabs the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and turns the speaker to max before yelling at Ran to wake up. Ran wakes, sees the bandaged man and screams, summoning Sonoko to investigate. The bandaged man flees out the window. Conan tries to follow, but his injured ankle prevents him. Conan wonders to himself why, with the pouring rain outside, the man didn't trail water into the room as the rest of the group decides to stay in the dining room together until morning. As they move, Conan notices Chikako's choker in Ayako's pocket; Ayako says she found it in the entranceway after they'd gone out chasing the bandaged man. However, Conan remembers that Chikako'd been wearing it when she went by the window, and they should have found the choker in the forest — not inside the house.

=== File 043 - Attack in the Dark! ===

As they ponder the bandaged man's motives, Sonoko asks why Ran didn't defend herself with karate and Ran reminds her that she's afraid of ghosts and monsters. Masaru flirtatiously comforts her until Conan grumpily interrupts him. Masaru tries to dismiss Conan, but Ran defends how Conan protected her. Conan didn't see the bandaged man's face, but by tackling him Conan learned that the man had an average waist, neither skinny or overweight. Masuru tries to dismiss him again, but Conan is distracted when he notices Hiroki's video camera, which recorded the bandaged man's flight past the window. Conan confirms that Chikako had her choker on at that point, which means one of the three men are suspicious, but appear to have alibis. Ayako asks Conan for the choker back, and he asks if Chikako had been acting oddly before. Ayako remembers that Chikako found the letter and turned pale — Conan realizes that one of the three men called her outside and then killed her.

Conan also realizes that Ran must be a suspect because she could have potentially seen something when she got the rooms mixed up when they first arrived. He asks if she saw anything suspicious; she denies having seen a cloak or bandages. She did see something odd, but now she can't recall what it was. As she thinks, lightning strikes and cuts power to the house. Ran, Conan, and Ayako go to gather candles; on the way back, they hear a noise not long before Ran senses another attack from behind. She defends herself, and they realize that it was set as a trap by someone.

In the dining room, a second floor window smashes inwards just before the power comes back; however, Conan discovers that one of the latches is undone and the murderer is still one of the three men. Out on the second floor balcony, Conan finds a pair of thin marks around the top railing, and realizes with a start who the bandaged man is, and what Ran might have seen to become a target. He plans to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] on Ran, but accidentally misses and knocks out Sonoko instead. With no other choice, Conan hides under the table that Sonoko slumped over, and declares that he knows who the murderer is.

=== File 044 - The Identity of the Murderer! ===

As Sonoko, Conan reviews the evidence pointing to one of the film club members as the murderer:
* To leave no mud behind in Ran's room, the bandaged man must have come from inside the house, via Chikako's empty room.
* The hole in the window was made directly next to the latch, indicating foreknowledge of the latch location.
Masaru objects to the accusation, citing everyone's presence in the room when Chikako and the man passed by the dining room. Conan explains that a foldable mannequin-prop and piano wire can create the illusion of another person.
<spoiler>
The illusion was created by stringing the puppet on a wire between two sides of the L-shaped balcony, with both ends of the wire tied just above the dining room window, and then alerting everyone to look at the window before cutting one side of the wire to make the mannequin swing past. By hauling the mannequin back up to the balcony before the window could be opened, the "bandaged man" and Chikako appeared to have vanished. The only person who could perform that trick is '''Ryoichi''', who had been supposedly repairing the roof and was on the balcony. Additionally, Ryoichi was a prop technician in the film club and had the knowledge to perform such a trick.

As for carrying the body, Conan argues that Ryoichi was the only person who could have done so secretly, if he only carried the head that he used for the trick. Ryoichi vehemently argues that he wasn't carrying the body, that he had no reason to attack Ran or Chikako and... hesitates, before trailing off that he couldn't be a murderer. Conan jumps on the hesitation, explaining that Ryoichi couldn't protest that he wasn't skinny enough to be the bandaged man because Ryoichi is not, in fact, as overweight as he pretends to be. After killing and dismembering Chikako, he carried her head in place of his stomach padding to the villa and pulled the doll trick, then dropped the choker as he carried it back to the forest switched back in the padding while they were searching. Ryoichi planted the idea of the bandaged man by appearing to them at the beginning of the trip, but the whole plan was at risk when Ran accidentally walked in on him changing and caught a glimpse of his true stature.

Ryoichi confesses that he killed Chikako to avenge Atsuko's death, after realizing that the script that Chikako won a prize for in school and was just turned into a released film, was in fact a script that Atsuko originally wrote. She committed suicide because the script was stolen from her and no one believed her. Ryoichi baited Chikako with revealing the secret of her script, and killed her. Ryoichi pulls out a knife and says he's going to join Atsuko as the bringer of justice who avenged her, before Conan yells that by attacking Ran, Ryoichi became nothing more than a murderer with a grudge. Ryoichi is shocked out of his suicidal intent, and soon the morning sun rises.

== Conan Kidnapping Case ==
{{ref anime|43|Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case}}

=== File 049 - An Unfamiliar Visitor ===
Ran wonders why Conan's parents haven't attempted to make contact or come back from overseas for him. Kogoro suggests trying to contact them through Agasa; Conan's immediate protests make Kogoro suspicious. As Conan tries to figure out a way to keep his identity hidden, Ran answers the door to a woman in black who claims to be Conan's mother, Fumiyo Edogawa. Conan freaks out, but Fumiyo placates Ran and Kogoro with explanations and takes Conan away. Once alone inu the car, Conan confronts her about not being his real mother, only for the woman to interrupt that his ''true'' mother is [[Yukiko Kudo]], who retired as an actress to marry [[Yusaku Kudo]] and had one son — Shinichi Kudo.

Conan panics that the woman may be in league with the men in black. She threatens him with a gun to stay quiet, but he hits the gas pedal and sends the car into the busy intersection and escapes in the confusion. Alone in the snowy streets, Conan worries that the men in black discovered that he's still alive because he used his name to solve the karaoke box murder, despite asking the police to keep things quiet. Conan decides that telling Ran would only place her in more danger, and goes instead to Agasa's house. The woman takes a phone call from a man in a black suit and top hat, and follows his advice to find Conan waiting outside for Agasa to return home. She knocks Conan out with a chloroform rag before Agasa sees them, and he regains consciousness tied up in the second floor kitchen of an abandoned house. As he investigates, Conan hears raised voices arguing about killing him now or following organization orders to keep him alive and study the drug effects. He peeps through a hole in the door and sees the woman and man, but when the man turns around to look at the room, Conan is shocked to see that his face is covered by a mask with narrow eyeholes and a sharp, stylized grin.

=== File 050 - Escape and Pursuit ===

The masked man approaches the room, but Conan pretends to still be knocked out cold. He overhears them discuss the impossibility of Conan's existence and the drug, and the man suggests testing a dose of the poison on a contact they're making a deal with the next day. If the drug does indeed shrink people, the man plans to kill both the contact and Conan to protect the organization's secrets; when the woman protests she was ordered to bring Conan in alive for study, the man threatens her with a gun to cooperate. They confirm the time of the meet to be 1:00 PM the next day.

With the pair sleeping soundly in the other room, Conan carefully breaks a wine bottle left in the room and escapes his bonds. Even with the snow, it's too dangerous to jump from the second story, so he plans to hide in the refrigerator, but notices wine dripping through the floor and discovers something hidden under some rags. In the morning, the woman discovers the empty room and declares that Conan must have escaped through the window; the man looks outside and declares Conan is still there. The man trashes some of the room, planning to kill Conan, but even the fridge turns out to be empty. The pair leave, planning to find him again after the deal, and once it's safe Conan climbs up out of a trapdoor room in the floor. Conan tries to find the drug, but they took it along. When he empties out the trash can, he discovers holes in the newspaper and then in a nearby calendar, and pieces together the missing kana and calendar dates to spell "Beika Hotel 30".

At the hotel, the "30" is neither a floor or a coat check number. He overhears a woman mention a numbered parking space, and investigates the car parked there to no avail. After the car leaves, a tall man in a mask walks through the garage and inspects the stall number briefly before returning into the hotel. Conan re-examines the numbers and realizes a small chalk mark makes it "301", a viable hotel room number. Conan discreetly follows the tall man to the hotel room, where the door is answered by the masked man. As Conan watches from around the corner, the elevator at the end of the hall open to reveal the woman — he's trapped between them, and only the corner and a hall plant currently hide him from being caught.

'''Detective Conan: The Mirage of Remembrance''' (Released as "Case Closed/Detective Conan: The Mirapolis Investigation" in Europe) is a game for Nintendo Wii.
This is the only Detective Conan video game so far to have been released in English, and in Europe but it has not been released yet in North America.

== Plot ==
=== Story ===
Kogoro receives tickets to the grand opening of the Mirapolis complex and is unwittingly forced to take along Ran, Conan, and the Detective Boys. At the opening speech, tensions run high as the Mirapolis staff begin to let their past with the owner get the better of themselves. Soon after, Conan and Ai discover a body by the Mirapolis's pool.

== Gameplay ==

Players control Conan who can either walk, run, or skateboard around the many hallways and rooms of the Mirapolis complex. Players need to gather information by talking to various people within the building which is then written down in a notebook for future reference. Once enough information is gathered, Conan can begin to piece together the truth by creating "links" and forming "clue chains". Perfect scoring during the game helps unlock bonus features like artwork.

For the player's convenience traveling around the Mirapolis is made easier by a handy teleportation option by selecting a floor from the in-game menu's map. This map also informs the player as to which characters are currently located on that floor.

The Mirapolis is home to a large arcade in its lower levels allowing the player to play mini-games including a version of Whack-a-Mole and an arcade shooter. Players can also try playing curling in the Mirapolis' ice rink.

The English release of the game has an option to change the audio back to its original Japanese, however the in-game text will still refer to the characters by their English names.

== Graphics ==
The graphics are generally alright for a Nintendo Wii, but they definitely could be improved. The graphics are 3D. There are several glitches in the game - such as getting stuck in walls, and other solid objects.

=== Situation ===

==== Part 1 ====
Conan and the Detective Boys are playing baseball at the construction site. When Mitsuhiko throws the ball, Genta hits it so hard that it went away to someone's yard. When they go there, they rang the door bell, and the mysterious man named Yoshikazu Watanuki appears to them. Conan asks if he could have the ball back from Watanuki's yard. Watanuki refuses and won't give the ball back. He then tells Conan and the Detective Boys to go away. The Detective Boys think that he's really mean. When Conan and the Detective Boys went to the Mouri Detective Agency, they see a man named Masao Kouda. Conan asks him if he's meeting the private detective, Kogoro Mouri. After that, they went inside, and Kouda asks Kogoro if he could find his missing sister named Sanae Kouda. Masao Kouda claims Watanuki has killed his sister and has buried her in his yard.

Masao Kouda begs Kogoro to go with him to find his missing sister into his yard but unfortunately, Kogoro can't do that. Later, Kouda had stolen the jewels.

Making things worse is the intent he has to break into Watanuki's yard when Watanuki's gone to the hospital for his weekly Saturday treatment. Conan believes the story at first, but a call with Kouda's voice causes him to begin doubting everything he has heard.

==== Part 2 ====
Kouda hides stolen jewelry in Watanuki's yard to force the police department to dig it up, but unbeknown to him is that Mother Nature has caused an optical illusion to fool witness Shinichi Mochida. Can Conan prove Masao's innocence before a guilty man gets away permanently?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Effectively, '''Yoshikazu Watanuki''' ''did'' kill Sanae. She worked for a firm which Watanuki had invested for, so Sanae tried to convince him to keep investing so she wouldn't lose her job upon it. Watanuki refused and went towards his room in the second floor, but Sanae tried to stop him; he tried to push her away and then Sanae lost her balance, plumetting down the stairs and dying when she hit her head on the wall.

Watanuki, upon seeing that he had accidentally killed the girl, buried her body in a small empty place near the construction site. He incessantly vigiled it so no one would find it... but there was something he didn't know. Sanae had a small flower seed bag in her pocket, a gift from one of her friends; the seeds grew and the flowers blossomed, signaling the place where she was "buried".

Masao had to go to trial due to the robbery, but was declared not to be a danger to society and given a suspended sentence. He retrieved his sister's ashes as well as the flower plant "born" from the seeds, and returned to his hometown in peace to arrange for Sanae's official burial.

=== Situation ===
The delivery truck left the house and there was an explosion inside the house at 12:00.

Meanwhile, the little girl named Mao Misawa, Ayumi's neighbor, is telling her pet dog, Candy, to wait for her. Candy went inside the delivery truck but the truck left. Mao is now worried about Candy.

At the Mouri Detective Agency, the Detective Boys are planning to go to the Beika Library. Mao appears to Ayumi and tells her that her dog, Candy, jumped into a delivery truck and left. Mao doesn't know what to do and felt very sad. The Detective Boys tell her not to worry and they will help her to find Candy. While finding Candy, they found the Fox Delivery truck. They went inside calling to Candy. Suddenly, Detective Chiba and the Fox delivery truck driver appear and asking them what are they doing. The Detective Boys cannot find Candy and it must be in another Fox Delivery truck. Takagi appears and Conan asks him is there a case. Takagi says there is a case and warns the kids to hurry home, so Takagi, Chiba, and the truck driver left by taking a ride on a truck. Conan now wonders what's going on.

Conan uses the cellphone to call Ran and asks what’s Kogoro’s doing. When Ran checks inside the detective agency, she found her dad being drunk while sleep talking about having another beer. Conan sees that and hangs up. Next, Conan calls Inspector Megure while using the voice changing bowtie using Kogoro's voice to get some information about the case. Megure told Conan that since midday, there have been two incidents. It's a serial bombing case. The first victim: Kouzou Tonomura, a district court judge. The second: Saeki Kazuhiko, a district public prosecutor. Although both victims suffered serious injuries, thankfully, they weren't life threatening. Both bombs were delivered with a timer. Furthermore, from the first incident's bomb wreckage, there were fingerprints that belonged to a man who served time until last month for a violation of the Explosives Control Act. That man was Masato Utsugi and he was arrested. His motive was revenge towards the people who unjustly persecuted and sentenced him. Also, according to Utsugi's testimony, he had delivered one more bomb. It was delivered to an ex- detective who arrested him. That’s why he used a delivery truck. In the flashback, Takagi told Megure that they’ve confirmed the ex-detective Kaneko’s safety. The bomb hasn’t been delivered yet.

}}

If they trust Utsugi's testimony, the last bomb will explode at 4 PM. Chiba reports to Megure that he received a fax from the Fox Delivery Courier Company. It's the package's shipping information. It seems it's timed to be delivered from three to four. Megure asks where the bomb is right now and Chiba answers he has asked the company to tell their delivery employees. Takagi already asked the bomb squad to be ready for dispatch. Upon discovery, they will mobilize. The police will somehow make it in time. Until sudden, the phone rings and Chiba picks it up to answer it. Chiba receives a report about that the delivery truck has been hijacked. Two men took the delivery truck and Candy jumps in. The police identified two men: Kingo Ebisawa and Ginji Kaniyama, they both have robbery in their criminal records. Today, before noon, at Margane Loan in Beika City, they robbed one million yen. The footage of those two in the security camera and the deliveryman's testimony matched. The Magane Loan is the corrupted loan shark. Their getaway car's engine failed, so it was found nearby so they had to used the delivery truck. Perhaps it's for intercepting the police radio. The abandoned car did have a radio and that's why they chose a vehicle equipped with a radio, so they probably don't know about the bomb. So currently, the police are searching, but as of now, the delivery truck carrying a bomb hasn’t been secured. The delivery truck’s been hijacked at Beika City District 3’s residential area. After Conan got all the information from Megure, he hangs up.

Genta asks Conan what's he doing and tells him to help Mao to look for Candy. Haibara kindly asks Mao where was the place Candy got in the delivery truck.

Meanwhile in the delivery truck, Ebisawa and Kaniyama are listening to the radio that the police HQ is telling all the stations to search the truck that was hijacked by the robbers. Ebisawa and Kaniyama are feeling great to make an escape from the police. Suddenly, Candy appears and Kaniyama thinks Candy is very adorable.

Mao found the area where Candy jumped into the truck. While they keep searching, Haibara and Conan know the correct pathway to find the truck. While going straight, they arrived at the street where there's traffic. When the group turn left, Conan calls Agasa for some assistance.

In the middle of the traffic, Ebisawa is struggling by tapping the navigation device. Kaniyama is wondering if they could stop by at the convenience store to get some snacks. Kaniyama also mentions that the navigator can trace the location of their car but luckily he broke the wire.

On the bridge, Conan uses the telescopic lenses and finds the right delivery truck. The Detective Boys went after it but it got away. They keep chasing it but Mao can't keep up the energy. Agasa finally picks them up and follow the truck while driving the beetle.

At the intersection, Agasa wonders which way did the truck turned. When Agasa asks Conan about the time before the bomb explodes, the Detective Boys and Mao got shocked hearing the word, "explodes". Conan and Haibara don't have a choice so they told them there's a bomb in the truck and at 4, it will explode. The Detective Boys got upset hearing that and Mao cries about Candy.

At the convenience store, Kaniyama got hack in the truck with food. Two kids notice Candy and they wanted to pet her. Kaniyama lets them pet Candy and Ebisawa is telling Kaniyama to hurry up.

Conan tells the Detective Boys to wait in the car and also tells Agasa to stay in standby. So Conan got out and calls Megure again using Kogoro's voice. When he asks that the robbers are listening to the police radio, Megure confirms it and that's what he believes. As Conan secretly requests something to Megure, he understands so he orders the police to make an urgent contact with the command center and also contact Takagi and Chiba.

At the convenience store, the robbers drove away. While driving, they listen to the radio about the police HQ telling all units to conduct the next inspection. They said all units report to the following points: Downtown loop, near the intersections of Kirinishimachi District 3. The robbers panicked and tries to look for a way to get out of the place where they currently are. Later, they finally got out and felt great that there's no more checkpoints.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Agasa's car and Takagi's car follow the truck. The Detective Boys are happy that they found the truck. Conan actually tells Megure to leak fake checkpoints so he created one free road and lured the robbers into it. While they are chasing the truck, Kaniyama opens the back door of the truck and blocks the road by throwing away all the packages. All the packages block the road. When Takagi and Chiba searches for the bomb, they can't find it. Which means the bomb is still in the truck. Conan uses the turbo engine skateboard to go after them. Conan got into the truck and searches for the bomb. When he found the package containing the bomb, he tells the robbers to drive to a place that's wide open. They still don't get it and as Conan explains about the bomb, they understand. They now only have two minutes left till the bomb explodes. Takagi and Chiba found the truck and they follow it.

When they arrived at the wide open place, Conan throws the package containing the bomb into the water and explodes. The robbers, Candy, and Conan are safe and sound. After the robbers got arrested by Takagi and Chiba, Mao hugs Candy in a happy way.

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Megure calls Kogoro telling him that he did a great job. Kogoro still doesn't get it while being drunk.

=== File 114 - An Unexpected Meeting ===
At the Baker Hotel, Mantendo gaming company reveals their new products, including a mystery game starring Kogoro as the player's assistant. However, Kogoro is hungover from the alcohol at the pre-release party the night before, and the alcohol names he mentions reminds Conan of his true goal, finding the men in black. At the coat check, Conan, Ran, and Kogoro encounter three of the game's developers: Hideaki Nakajima, who started the game project, Koji Ueda, who claims to have had the initial idea, and Hironobu Takeshite. Koji mentions that Hideaki is good at stealing from others, but Koji will be generous because he heard Hideaki is having trouble with creditors. [[File:Volume 12 File 114.jpg|175px|thumb|right|Conan overhears the [[Black Organization]] plan a meet.]] Kogoro trades in their belongings at the coat check, at which point Hironobu points out the time and he and Koji jump the queue to join Hideaki in checking their briefcases before the event starts. Ran notices that all three cases are identical, with the company logo, which was implemented by the director for brand awareness. The director appears and orders the developers to their places, right before Ran finally receives her cloakroom tag, 100, which she thinks is a sign of good luck.

In the display hall, Ran does well playing the various games. The developers invite Ran to participate in a strength-measuring booth with them. Hideaki gets a high score due to a history of boxing, and tells Ran it's good for releasing stress. Thinking of her frustration about Shinichi, Ran beats Hideaki's score by a wide margin. Conan passes on participating with the bathroom as an excuse, and Hideaki goes along with him. On the way, they bump into a large man dressed in black. Conan sees the man again on their way back, trading tag 98 for a Mantendo-employee briefcase. Conan is curious, but decides it's not his problem until he overhears the man start a phone-call by identifying himself as [[Tequila]] and promising to meet [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] later. Conan is so shocked that he drops his coin wallet, and uses the distraction and Vodka's dismissal of him to sneak a bug-tracker on the bottom of Vodka's shoe. He tracks Vodka into the toilets and overhears him mutter to himself that something won't go in, but something else is open—and a moment later, the entirety of the toilet are is engulfed in an explosion.

=== File 115 - The Whereabouts of the Bomb ===
Conan runs into the scene of the explosion, followed by the Mantendo employees. He finds the shoe with his bug, confirming that Tequila is dead and his only lead on the organization is gone. As he tries to determine if Tequila was deliberately targeted, [[Inspector Megure]] arrives with an investigation team. Megure asks if anyone saw or knew the victim, which the employees deny but Conan confirms, adding that Hideaki bumped into him earlier, to Hideaki's shock. Conan adds that Tequila was from Kansai, as he used the dialect when he made a comment about a door just before the bomb went off. Directo Ishikawa also reveals a threatening note he had been sent recently, that'd he'd assumed was a prank until the explosion occurred.

An investigation officer brings Megure a key and the company emblem from a company briefcase, leaving Conan to wonder how and why Tequila had access to a briefcase checked into the cloakroom. When Conan sees how the emblem is bent backwards, he realizes the explosion had to have come from inside the briefcase. As the others try to determine if Tequila was an employee or a prospective client, Conan accidentally almost blurts out the existence of the men in black, but catches himself just in time. He concludes that Tequila's comment about the trouble he was having must have referred to the briefcase itself. Conan confirms with the cloakroom employee that only Tequila claimed a briefcase, meaning that the other party in Tequila's deal is still in the hotel and may be a potential lead on Gin and Vodka. However, the hotel staff don't believe him and the police won't let him interrupt Megure's investigating. Conan struggles, protesting that the murderer will escape, just before Ran finds him. She asks who he was looking for but is distracted by the cut on his face; when she pulls a handkerchief from her pocket it dislodges their cloakroom numbers: 96 and 100. Conan realizes that Tequila's number was 98, and thus had to belong to one of the three Mantendo employees who cut between Ran and Kogoro. As he ponders how Tequila was murdered, Conan realizes that deliberately murdering Tequila at the company presentation doesn't make sense, and it's also odd that Tequila's key didn't fit properly.

Eventually, the police find nothing and release the guests. As the Mantendo employees reclaim their briefcases, Hideaki's number is 124, which seems to surprise Hironobu and Koji. Koji advises the other two to check their briefcases, as they're so easy to mix up. As he observes the trio, Conan concludes that Tequila was an accidental victim rather than the intended one.

=== File 116 - Conan's Mistake ===
In order to solve the case before he can lose his only lead on the Organization, Conan shoots Kogoro with the tranquilizer dart. However, Ran gets in the way and the dart hits the cloakroom tags in her back pocket. Conan attempts to retrieve that dart, which she mistakes for a perverted grope; her retaliatory kick accidentally hits Kogoro, conveniently knocking him out for Conan to use as a mouthpiece.

<spoiler>
As Kogoro, Conan calls attention to Hideaki's briefcase. Hideaki tries to keep the contents a secret, but when Koji wrestles for possession of it, the case accidentally opens. Hironobu yells and ducks for cover, revealing that Hironobu placed the bomb in the briefcase. However, Hideaki exchanged cases with Tequila using the cloakroom tickets for cover, as evidenced by the higher-number cloakroom tag compared to his colleagues, and Hironobu's bomb unwittingly killed Tequila instead. The reason Tequila's key didn't fit the briefcase was because Hironobu pulled the same briefcase switch, after cutting in line in front of Kogoro to get a tag of a similar number to Hideaki. The proof of the exchange is that the key Tequila had will fit Hironobu's current custom-Mantendo briefcase. Hironobu admits to making the bomb. He wished to kill Hideaki in revenge for the suicide of Yoshimi, the manager of the university boxing club and Hironobu's high school girlfriend, who committed suicide after Hideaki left the university club. Hironobu is led away by the police. Conan urges Hideaki to explain all he knows about Tequila and the Organization, but all Hideaki knows is that he met Tequila at a cafe, "Le Cocktail". While Megure fruitlessly tries to make Kogoro explain who or what "the Organization" is, Conan rushes out to the building Hideaki indicated. However, by the time Conan rides the building's elevator to Le Cocktail's location on the top floor, a huge explosion utterly destroys the cafe and any evidence within. Conan eventually learns that Hideaki's deal was receiving a large amount of money in exchange for a list of the world's top programmers, but Conan does not even know what happened to Gin or Vodka. The case remains a mystery unresolved.

=== Situation ===
After the Bell Tree Express incident, Sonoko invites Ran, Kogoro, and Conan to a camp site where she is learning tennis, because she got a text from Makoto holding a racquet. Conan, glad to be leaving the Mouri Detective Agency for a spell after learning Amuro is Bourbon (being near him would be awkward now,) finds out he is Sonoko's tennis teacher. Amuro tries to warn Conan that a racquet is about to hit him, but it impacts his head resulting in a concussion. Amuro applies immediate first aid, and Conan recuperates at the cabin of Machi Umejima and her friend Kotone Momozono, the girl whose racquet went flying and hit Conan. As Machi and Kotone treats Conan's party, there is an obvious animosity between Noboru Takanashi and Saburou Ishiguri, two other friends and classmates. It stems from the untimely death of their friend Uriu. When Conan wakes up, he finds the room overwhelmingly hot and Saburou dead from blunt force trauma to his head.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
As Conan was about to tranquilize Kogoro, Amuro looked through his lens and asked what was he doing. Conan, not wanting Bourbon to realize who he really is, instead manipulated everyone's attention to the culprit: '''Kotone Momozono'''. Kotone hid a spare key to the room in a bottle of a frozen sports drink, had it thaw a bit, then used it to commit the murder. She used the still melting ice of the hard bottle to move his body in front of the door. She did it because Uriu, who was an easily emotional guy, would've been afraid to go in the snow. But Saburou made a joke about the snow Uriu took seriously, and died. At first, Kotone thought Saburou's frantic digging in the snow was from disbelief a friend died. But he was retrieving the scarf Uriu worn, as it was evidence he was forced over and didn't simply jump.

Later that night, Bourbon give Vermouth a call, saying the case was solved but is staying around little longer. When she asks him why, he says the Sleeping Kogoro has caught his interest (while thinking of Conan, hinting he knows Conan is behind the Sleeping Kogoro persona.)

=== Situation ===

==== Part 1 ====
Kogoro receives a call from an unknown person to follow instructions for delivering the ransom money. The unknown caller wants Kogoro to go to the Nihonboshi Post Office. When he enters, he receives the briefcase and opens it. It has a microphone, a transceiver, and a note.

Specializing in the import and sales of the American cars, employees of the company called “New Image”, were victims of attempted murder and were seriously injured.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Attempted Murder (Past)
| image = EP692-693 Case1.jpg
| location = Road
| victim = "New Image" employee
| suspects = Unknown culprit
| description =
}}

The president of “New Image” named Gen Ishida received a threatening phone call from the unknown criminal. The criminal wants 24 million yen for ransom.

Back in the present time, Kogoro is putting 24 million yen into the brief case from his paper bag. While Conan is watching Kogoro, Sato saw Conan and she told him not to bother Kogoro’s work. Takagi came and pretends saying hi to Sato so they wouldn’t act suspicious. Kogoro crumbles up the note, throws away in the trash can, and leaves the post office. Sato and Takagi begin to follow him. Conan checks inside the trash can to see what it says on the note. The note says, “There’s money in the attaché case. The transceiver is to contact a disposable mobile phone. Out at the foot of Nihonbashi, on the Hanami boat cruise at 17:45. The microphone for communication with the police is discarded.”

Takagi and Sato are getting in the car and they were informed that the “M” is moving northward on the central sheet. The “M” is referred to be Kogoro. Before they were about to drive, Conan gave the criminal’s note to Sato and after that, the car went on.

Kogoro arrives at the pier in Nihonbashi and gets on the boat. The boat's motor starts and Chiba reports that "M" has departed on the ship.

At the pier, Conan asks the man of where the Hanami cruise ship is going and the man answers it's going to Sumida river, then onto Daiyokou. So the man gave the pamphlet to Conan for more information.

In the flashback at the Mouri Detective Agency. Kogoro will be the one who will deliver the ransom to the unknown criminal instead of the New Image president. So when he asks Megure about how could he be appointed to deliver cash, Megure said he doesn't know so the police will have to withdraw at anytime. There's no next life if Kogoro ignores the request. The request was for 24 million yen but Ishida wasn't able to deliver it at first so he asks Kogoro to deliver it for him for the sake of the New Image employees.

Back in the present on the cruise ship, the people are enjoying the ride while the captain announces that in ten minutes arriving at Sumida river, the waves will get little rougher so he tells the passengers to be careful.

Conan is on the skateboard following the boat. The radio transceiver reaches 100m at best, so the criminal's got to be within range.

Megure asks Sato where she is and Sato's at the Eitaibashi bridge. So Megure tells Sato to contact the company, the cruise ship is set to transfer onto the Daiyokou river from Sumida river. So Megure tells her to keep moving towards the Daiyokou river.

At nighttime, the people on the cruise ship are still having a great time. The criminal calls Kogoro and he says the boat is passing through the sluice by Oshima river and Daiyokou river. The criminal tells Kogoro to put the briefcase of 24 million yen on top of the roof of the boat. After that, Kogoro will wait for the next call.

Conan is now on the bridge where he can see Kogoro putting the briefcase on top of the roof of the boat. Kogoro got annoyed when he saw Conan smiling. The crew told Kogoro to get down because the bridge is coming.

Conan is still following the boat until he finds the criminal. After the boat goes through under the bridges, the briefcase went missing on top of the boat. When Conan calls Kogoro about it, Kogoro checks it, accidentally slips off the boat, and splashes into the water. Conan wonders how did the culprit get the briefcase?

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Kogoro has a terrible cold who always sneezes because he accidentally fell into the river. Right now, he is having a conversation with the police about the missing briefcase. At the start, Kogoro did listen to what the culprit said. He did put the briefcase on top of the boat when he passed onto the Daiyokou river. There was no indication that the criminal has taken it. Kogoro was told to sit down and wait for the instructions to come. Where Conan and Sato saw the briefcase last is at the Shiomibashi river. Where the briefcase was missing is at the Hamazona bridge. The culprit should've been somewhere from Heikyuu bridge to Hamazona bridge. That's where the briefcase was taken. When Megure asks Kogoro that did he notice anything, Kogoro says he remember that he heard a metal bump sound. It was a normal bridge but there were two boats parked underneath. The captain swayed to the right in order to not hit the passengers. When they passed under the bridge, the captain and Kogoro heard the bump sound. It's probably at Shigure bridge. When Takagi and Sato were watching from Shiomibashi bridge, they never saw any boat under Heikyuu bridge. Ishihama bridge had a sluice ahead of it, as Shigure bridge is right behind it. "Normal small bridge", that impression is curious. The next one is Hamazono bridge, so there's no doubt that it was at Shigure bridge when you heard the sound. All of a sudden, Takagi came and reports that he found the briefcase near the river at Heikyuu bridge. When Takagi opens it, it was empty but Conan also notice something strange. The cloth in the case is torn. Furthermore, the interior shows some evidence of there being some sort of gimmick. Conan knocks out Kogoro and starts deducing. The modus operandi for taking the brief case has been revealed. The culprit could've used a powerful magnet. The Daiyokou river's water level rises and falls as the tide changes. The distance to the bridge will be fairly short lengthwise in advance, the culprit probably knew the tide levels, so the culprit attached a powerful magnet to grab hold of the top lid of the briefcase. When the cruise ship rode underneath, the briefcase's attach. The culprit made sure the magnetic force worked only when it was convenient to do so. They employed an electromagnet. When a conductive electromagnetic coil is wound around a metal body, a magnetic force will be generated when an electric current runs through said coil. The culprit probably attached it within the lid most likely running the coil around a battery core. To enable the operation from afar, they likely had a remote switch. He then recovered it under the cover of night when nobody was around. After Megure, Takagi, and Sato finished listening to the deduction, they are going to take a fresher look at the surroundings of Daiyokou river and Heikyuu. After they left, Kogoro sleeps with the blanket covered. Conan still wonders what's the reason as to why the culprit would've want Kogoro. Conan asks Ran about that he could see what's left in Kogoro's case material. Ran checks it out in his files. It could be possible that the criminal has a grudge against Kogoro. While Ran is getting some books, she frowns. When Conan asks her what's wrong, Ran said it's nothing and mentions that in these times Shinichi would've been able to solve this case with her. Conan then tells Ran that they will solve it together. So now, Conan and Ran starts investigating and researching through Kogoro's case files something that involves "New Image". Hours later, Ran found something. Satoshi Nishizawa, 32 years old, employee of the imported cars sales, "New Image", mechanic engineer. There is a request from his client, Kaori Yoda. There was a consultation to track down the stalker, who ended up being Nishizawa. The woman filed a restraining order from the court, disallowing him to come close. He was laid off from the company. It was two months before the incident. His address is East District Fukagawa and the Daiyokou river isn't near there.

The next day, Ran and Conan arrived at Nishizawa's apartment. Ran rings the door bell but no one's answering. Conan checks the door knob and realizes that it's open so they decided to go inside. When they went to the bathroom, they found Nishizawa drowned to death.

==== Part 2 ====
When Ran was about go to near the dead body, Conan told her to wait and take a look. The water accumulated to the very top, yet there are no splashes, or droplets of water surrounding the tub. Nishizawa sank into the tub and it's probably been about 5-6 hours since he died. After Conan tells Ran to call the police, he goes and takes a closer look. He found an empty bottle of sleeping pills and more importantly, he found the flower petal in the middle of the water. The shape is similar to cherry blossom petal but the colors different. Suddenly, Sato and Takagi arrived so Sato told Takagi to contact the police headquarters. When Conan asked Sato why is she here, she answers a motorboat from Heikyuu river that was registered was stolen, turned up Nishizawa's fingerprints. Later, Conan went into another room and found some books on the desk.

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Megure tells Kogoro that Nishizawa committed suicide. From the boat involved with the crime, they found his fingerprints. Then they also found the note on his computer. The estimated time of death was about 01:00. He drank lots of sleeping pills and then drowned. Without the doubt, then it's suicide. According to the suicide note, it says, "I was after money, but did not plan this. You, Kogoro Mouri, the one who said I stalked my true love. When it was taken to the police, my boss fired me. I was humiliated by the Great Detective. Of course I couldn't deal with that. Then there was the restraining order. I'm not going to deal with the ridicule anymore. So that means I take my life." Well, even though Megure can't officially confirm it. When Megure is about to leave the agency, Kogoro asks him that did the police found the missing money, but actually, they didn't find it yet. After Megure leaves, Kogoro starts laughing because since the money hasn't been found yet, the case hasn't been solved completely. He stands up and declares himself that he will solve the case.

Kogoro visits to a "New Image" engineer named Atsushi Tanaka and starts questioning him. Tanaka says that he doesn't know Nishizawa but Kogoro heard that he was good friends with him. Kogoro asks Tanaka about his alibi at 01:00 but Tanaka got confused that the case was supposed to be a suicide but Kogoro is not sure about it and he suspects Tanaka tries to crush Ishida's HR, but the answer will come out eventually. Tanaka doesn't doubt Ishida suspected something. He reveals that Ishida was blackmailing Nishizawa. When Tanaka was taking a walk, he heard Ishida and Nishizawa arguing. Nishizawa accuses Ishida that he doesn't treat the employees right. If Ishida is going to fire Nishizawa, Ishida better put out severance pay. He was going to expose his fraud. He doesn't want to but he will destroy Ishida's company. That's motive enough for Ishida. At 01:00 of Tanaka's alibi, he was talking on the phone with someone.

Next, Kogoro visits to Ishida, the "New Image" president, for asking his alibi at 01:00 and Ishida says that he was sleeping. He doesn't have much in the way of the proof, given that he's a bachelor. Before Kogoro takes his leave to Nishizawa's funeral, Ishida mentions that Tanaka doubts it was Nishizawa. He liked to gamble with Nishizawa so he carried a significant amount of debt. Ishida once came to consult him. He wanted too big of an advance, Ishida couldn't pay him that much.

Meanwhile, Conan looks around the area where some few spots have surveillance cameras on. Next he sees the Toyusu canal. The route where you can see Toyusu canal has no surveillance camera so the criminal took the area where he can't be seen and if someone stop the boat at the pier so if he left from Yokogawa, the briefcase could be retrieved. Conan notice an old man who's a fisherman so he went to him and asks if he could give him a ride. While Conan and the old man are on the boat, they're going to Sendaiborigawa. Conan just took a stop at the area where Nishizawa's apartment is but he doesn't see any yellow flowers. He went back to the old man and asks about any flowers similar to cherry blossom but yellow in color. The old man says he know about ukon sakura. You can find them later on when they bloom at the Somei-Yoshino trees.

At the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters, Megure receives a call from Kogoro saying that he knows who the real culprit is meaning that Nishizawa did not kill himself. He said he's going to reveal his deduction tonight at 17:00 in the president's office of "New Image" company. He requests Megure to call Tanaka to be there. Suddenly, Sato receives a call about in Sumida river, there are lots of ten thousand yen bills floating in the water.

At the Sumida river, people were amazed that there's lot of money floating in the water. Probably money from yesterday. Apparently, an empty briefcase was found.

Kogoro still has a terrible cold but Ran can't let him go to the president's office of "New Image" company. His temperature says 40 degrees celsius which is impossible for him to go to work. His deduction shows starts at 17:00. After Conan mentions about the money floating on the water in Sumida river, Kogoro turned blue and got shocked hearing it. Since Kogoro can't go, Conan has an idea. He can just make a shooting of Kogoro's deduction with the video camera so the others will watch it at the "New Image" company.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
At the "New Image" company, the police, Ishida, and Tanaka were gathered to listen to Kogoro's deduction show. Conan turns on the television and starts. Kogoro appears on the tv and says known across the land, it's the great detective. They were two keys to solving the case. A grudge against New Image and mutual hostility. Suddenly, the Japanese words came on the screen which it says, "is not who it is. The true culprit took advantage both of these things." Now he says there are three suspects. Satoshi Nishizawa, whom died leaving a note. Atsushi Tanaka, one of the juniors. The president of New Image, Gen Ishida. Satoshi Nishizawa got the great detective Kogoro Mouri's assistance. He and the president were mutually hostile. He was blackmailed by the president. Ishida lost lot of money in Yokogawa. There is no alibi for Nishizawa's death. He was dead set on saying it wasn't murder. Although, Tanaka also resented New Image but there was no reason for him to kill Nishizawa. Plus, he has an alibi for the time of Nishizawa's death. Just the same, Tanaka carried debt from his gambling habits. However, if you think about it, even though Tanaka seems white, there is still a reason why he'd commit a crime. The Japanese words appear on the screen second time which it says, "this cannot be stated as a true fact!" Kogoro thinks that from the suicide note Nishizawa left, he mounted the electromagnet to the briefcase and stole the moored motorboat, and then took the money from Daiyokou river. However, he disposed of the case in the river, then returned to his apartment and swallowed a lot of sleeping pills, then he sank in the bathtub. This means Nishizawa committed suicide. The Japanese words appear on the screen third time which it says, "if suicide had been the case. However, this is a murder!" When Ishida asks what's Kogoro's saying, the Japanese words appear on the screen fourth time which it says, "the true culprit is you!!" The tv stops and Conan will read the rest of Kogoro's deduction. The paper says this: The real culprit is '''Atsushi Tanaka'''. Gambling from his financial institution, he amassed a debt of 20 million yen. He wanted to get out of debt even with money obtained through crime. Tanaka took the cash without losing money. He left the empty case, taking the contents, including the electromagnet. Flowing down the waterway, he came upon Nishizawa's apartment. He grabbed hold of Nishizawa and stunned him. He brought him from his apartment and carried him by boat. He took him to his place moving down the same waterway. In the apartment, Nishizawa was given a large amount of sleeping pills. This was preparation for the murder to look like a suicide. He had the idea to phone someone landline and make it seem like he was busy. Then he put hot water on while Nishizawa was sleeping in the bathtub. Kogoro thought something was suspicious. The time it took to get home was the same time Nishizawa died. He'd been talking on the phone with someone falsifying an alibi that seemed real. But, he made one mistake. The trees blooming near his house are ukon sakura. He hadn't noticed it had fallen onto Nishizawa's clothing. So after talking to someone on the phone, he left down the same waterway back to Nishizawa's apartment. He placed his body in his bathtub. That means, without changing the time of death, he were able to kill him elsewhere and disguise it as a suicide. The ukon sakura did not come to mind at the time. He has a debt of 20 million yen. He was going to receive 24 million yen. His crime was deceptive. He typed Nishizawa's suicide note, but then he had to leave the PC. The 4 million yen that'd not go toward his debt was unavoidable and he had to support the fabricated details of Nishizawa's trip down the river. Conan saw Tanaka's brother riding a bike near the river. Before the case was taken, and then after the incident, both the same bike had the same license plate. It was parked in the parking lot. On the road without any surveillance cameras. Suddenly, Tanaka tried to escape but got surrounded by Takagi and Sato. Tanaka is then arrested.

Megure also tells Ishida in regard of his window dressing, Megure will be turning over a copy of the report to Division 2. He told Ishida to prepare well, given his silence toward the tax office.

Agasa takes the Detective Boys to his uncles house which has been abandoned fifty years ago for a treasure hunt he had set up. Conan finds a 1 yen coin and reveals to Agasa that those coins were not produced until forty years ago and that someone had been living in the abandoned house. Conan investigates and finds evidence that an old man who spent his spare time carving coins lived in the house. Conan notices that someone has drawn strange codes on objects throughout the house. The codes are symbols consisting of the moon, star, and sun. The Detective Boys manage to find their treasure and realize that someone had destroyed them all. Conan deduces that an unknown culprit entered the house in search of some kind of treasure and was angered when Agasa's riddles lead him to a box of toys. Conan and the Detective Boys gather all the objects in the house with the strange codes on them and attempts to solve it. Agasa reveals that his aunt was receiving letters in the same code and that he had Yusaku Kudo decipher the message; He also reveals that when his aunt began receiving those letters, someone was looking through her mail. Conan realizes the symbols refer to Hiragana and that the culprit who was looking through Agasa's aunt's mail is the one who destroyed the toys and is searching for the treasure in the house.

They hear from the murderers that there is one exit, but all the other passages in the cavern are dead ends.

Luckily Haibara and Agasa informed Megure who has the cave surrounded. The culprits give up.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* '''The Wounded Great Detective''': When thinking over whether to tell Ran his secret, he recalls his parents parting words from ''[[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases]]''. The anime omits that scene.
* '''The Third Choice''': In the anime, after it's revealed that Shinichi is really Heiji, Megure made a comment about how they don't need anyone else showing idiotic behavior like Kogoro (prompting an annoyed stare by Kogoro, with Megure passing his comment as a joke).
