&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical. He presses more, asking if there were anything out of the ordinary with the palette boxes; the officer states that because of privacy laws, they were only limited to visual checks to the clear plastic coverings. Gennori’s box contained Fumiko’s medicine and Seiichi had paintbrushes loaded to the ferrules. Given their occupations, nothing of interest stood out. With that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Just as Richard proclaims to be tired and exhausted from being sick all day, he is put to sleep by Conan using his trademark wristwatch stun gun. Using Richard’s voice, Conan successfully breaks down the killer’s psychological profile and informs Inspector Meguire to take caution as the culprit they are looking for doesn’t handle rejection very well and is a dangerous narcissistic psychopath who is willing to murder people who criticize their work. Conan reveals that everyone was lead to believe that the killer had to approach the victim and force poison down into her system. While natural to believe at first glance, this is entirely false; for the killer was actually making homemade poison and slowly systematically transforming Fumiko’s bedroom into a massive death chamber under the false pretense of performing basic duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing forward, the killer had already applied a few methods way before Fumiko was murdered in cold blood. One of these methods included the heater in her room. Fumiko had been inflicted with a cold, most likely from sleeping multiple nights with the air conditioner running. The killer took note of that and waged their bets that it wouldn’t be used, and set the timer heater on during the function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As noted by Gennori beforehand, it is June, meaning hot days and cool nights. With the heater on, Fumiko’s room became warm and humidified. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. In damp environments, mycotoxins attach themselves to airborne mold spores and microscopic dust fragments. When humans inhale this dust, the toxins bypass the body&#039;s primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all elements and components in place, it was time to reveal the direct link in Fumiko’s brutal demise. The actual poison itself has been in the room the entire time, specially embedded in the painting on the ceiling. The killer is someone who could nonchalantly apply poison to the environment and, when the time and combination of the two factors mentioned from earlier, eventually reach Fumiko without them being present in the same room as her. The killer is revealed to be the painter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Seiichi Hashimoto&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To satisfy the formula for a legal conviction, Conan breaks down Seiichi and his crime. Hashimoto used paint and then weaponized the toxic substances and properties of the mold. Inspector Meguire, once a fully mandated court order has been signed and dated by an independent judge or a competent court, has full legal authority to check Fumiko’s cell phone records and emails; upon doing so will reveal an undeniable timeline that proves that Fumiko has consulted with Seiichi on a number of occasions in regards to the ceiling painting, plus the verbal and eyewitness testimonies of Fumiko’s loyal maids not only putting Seiichi in the crime scene, but also the tools and murder weapon in his physical hands. During those times, Seiichi wasn’t painting a damn thing, he was actually applying his murder weapon, called Scheele’s Green, to the ceiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scheele’s Green is created by combining copper(II) sulfate acting as the base element for the green color, arsenious oxide added to provide brilliance, durability, and a much cheaper production cost than older vegetable dyes, and sodium carbonate as the solvent agent mixing the two compounds. When Scheele’s Green is broken down into its individual compounds, it undergoes chemical and biological degradation that transforms solid copper arsenite into highly toxic, airborne arsenic gases (primarily trimethylarsine or arsine gas), alongside corrosive chemical subproducts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The timed heater turns on causing the mold to explode rapidly, releasing the fatal fumes and choking and eventually killing Fumiko Asaka in her own bedroom. After two hours have past, Seiichi went into Fumiko’s room to open the balcony door and released the arsenic fumes to the environment where it dispersed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is proof of this; Rachel had previously gifted Fumiko a bonquet of flowers when they first arrived, however, they were a mixture of full blowns and baby buds. As of now, due to the warm humidity from the timed heater as mentioned at the start of the resolution, every flower in that bonquet has fully bloomed and blossomed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To survive the toxic arsenic in the pigment, the fungus metabolized the copper arsenite through a process called biomethylation. The fungus converted the solid arsenic into trimethylarsine gas. This lethal, invisible gas has a distinct garlic-like odor and slowly poisons anyone sleeping or sitting in the room, leading to severe illness and death. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of Scheele’s Green sounds like a script out of a horror film. People inflicted with this demonic color have vomited green fluid, the dusting of the green powder that landed on their face, when mixed with clear liquid fluids, gave victims the horrid appearance of shedding green tears. A few candles burning in a room released arsenic vapers to a group of people attending parties in Victorian-era London. Those same people had their lives drastically altered and maimed, majority of them cut short. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The staggering math comes directly from the pioneering work of Dr. A.W. Hofmann, a famous German chemist who published a scathing exposé in 1862 titled &amp;quot;The Dance of Death&amp;quot;. An average Victorian ballgown made of green tarlatan fabric contained roughly 58 to 60 grams of pure arsenic. To put that into context, because a lethal dose of arsenic for an adult is only about 0.1 to 0.3 grams, a single fashion-forward dress carried enough poison to kill around 200 people. It is a truly mind-boggling and terrifying statistic to wrap one’s head around. The fact that a woman could walk into a crowded ballroom literally covered in enough lethal material to poison hundreds of people—all in the name of high fashion—perfectly captures the bizarre dangers of the Victorian era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer&#039;s eyes turned green before she died. Not only that, but because of her occupation as a fluffer (a specific type of factory laborer whose job was to apply a velvety, lifelike texture or vibrant finish to artificial leaves and flowers) her nail beds went from normal to a terrifying green. Because her eyes were physically coated in a layer of copper arsenite, it completely distorted her vision. On her deathbed, she frantically told her doctor that &amp;quot;everything she looked at was green&amp;quot;. She wasn&#039;t just hallucinating; she was literally looking at the world through a literal film of toxic green pigment caked over her own eyes before finally being called by the heavens to come to glory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone in the room, with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. It is because of those brutal side effects and mounting death tolls that Scheele’s Green was discontinued. As a professional painter of global recognition, Seiichi knows ALL too well of the horrors of Scheele’s Green; it is taught more often as a lesson in art history than a modern day painting technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. Conan (though Richard) states his patience has been rewarded because now he can play his “Ace”, otherwise called the legal doctrine of Exigent Circumstances and Immediate Threat to Public Safety.  At first, Inspector Meguire was virtually powerless to do anything in regards to Seiichi’s palette box, but with this ace in effect, Meguire has the immediate authority to seize the box without a pre-signed warrant under the aforementioned legal doctrine. The law has an immediate obligation to secure and neutralize active poisons or volatile chemical hazards at a crime scene to protect the public, the maids, and themselves from lethal arsine gas exposure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, calling his bluff, stating innocent men have nothing to hide and the truth shall set him free, considering if he was truly innocent. The reason why Seiichi is hesitant is because it had already been mentioned: two palette boxes were found in the luggage from two suspects, Dr. Gennori, and the other from Seiichi. Dr. Gennori’s is genuinely innocent and safe to open, but what about Seiichi’s? Yes, there were harmless paints and brushes, but were they really harmless as he claims? The short answer is no, they are lethally laced with mold and paints to give off the same fatal fumes that murdered Fumiko. Seiichi couldn’t very well have trashed these certain tools in the garbage and gone about his day because someone somewhere would have gotten ahold of them and pieced it all together, eventually linking him to this cold blooded murder. They were sealed off to protect himself. The tip off came from one of Meguire’s men, “there were paintbrushes loaded with paint all the way to the ferrule.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan states that while no one there is an art student, that’s one of the things a painter of international recognition should never do. Painters keep paint on the bottom two-thirds of the bristles. Paint dried inside the metal band (ferrule) is almost impossible to remove and splits the brush head permanently. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to stand out. The formula is complete: Seiichi has the weapons, plus the access of the crime scene, plus his direct paints and mold applications that released the poison that caused her death, and adding in the time for which said mold and paints were applied, equals a painting of absolute justice for Fumiko, and a lifetime of punishment and atonement for Seiichi. Conan yields back, putting his bow tie back around his neck as Meguire has the poisonous palette box bagged, tagged, and safety waiting outside the mansion for the Fire Department Hazardous Materials Unit (HazMat). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi kindly asks the room if they know who is he, then asks again, before exploding in a rage filled rant that he is the Master Painter, Seiichi Hashimoto. His work is his life, his passion, and his legacy. He confesses to brutally murdering Fumiko, because she simply stated that she didn’t like the painting Seiichi did and wanted him to remake it. Seiichi continues, with veins popping out of his neck and at the top of his lungs, asking the room if Richard knows who he is and what he’s capable of. Meguire places Seiichi in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic narcissist from doing harm, as a bonus, he takes full pride to know that Matilda (the 1891 19-year-old Scheele’s Green victim) got the peaceful spiritual send off that was wrongfully denied to her for more than a century. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flowers that Rachel gave Fumiko have fully bloomed, releasing clusters of pollen from the petals, blowing outside and disappearing into the mountains of the now peaceful countryside, almost as if Fumiko and Matilda’s spirits was finally set free and Fumiko-sama knowing her killer was brought to absolute justice. &amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Sachi Makise&#039;&#039;&#039;. Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical and with that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Just as Richard proclaims to be tired and exhausted from being sick all day, he is put to sleep by Conan using his trademark wristwatch stun gun. Using Richard’s voice, Conan successfully breaks down the killer’s psychological profile and informs Inspector Meguire to take caution as the culprit they are looking for doesn’t handle rejection very well and is a dangerous narcissistic psychopath who is willing to murder people who criticize their work. Conan reveals that everyone was lead to believe that the killer had to approach the victim and force poison down into her system. While natural to believe at first glance, this is entirely false; for the killer was actually making homemade poison and slowly systematically transforming Fumiko’s bedroom into a massive death chamber under the false pretense of performing basic duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing forward, the killer had already applied a few methods way before Fumiko was murdered in cold blood. One of these methods included the heater in her room. Fumiko had been inflicted with a cold, most likely from sleeping multiple nights with the air conditioner running. The killer took note of that and waged their bets that it wouldn’t be used, and set the timer heater on during the function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As noted by Gennori beforehand, it is June, meaning hot days and cool nights. With the heater on, Fumiko’s room became warm and humidified. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. In damp environments, mycotoxins attach themselves to airborne mold spores and microscopic dust fragments. When humans inhale this dust, the toxins bypass the body&#039;s primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all elements and components in place, it was time to reveal the direct link in Fumiko’s brutal demise. The actual poison itself has been in the room the entire time, specially embedded in the painting on the ceiling. The killer is someone who could nonchalantly apply poison to the environment and, when the time and combination of the two factors mentioned from earlier, eventually reach Fumiko without them being present in the same room as her. The killer is revealed to be the painter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Seiichi Hashimoto&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To satisfy the formula for a legal conviction, Conan breaks down Seiichi and his crime. Hashimoto used paint and then weaponized the toxic substances and properties of the mold. Inspector Meguire, once a fully mandated court order has been signed and dated by an independent judge or a competent court, has full legal authority to check Fumiko’s cell phone records and emails; upon doing so will reveal an undeniable timeline that proves that Fumiko has consulted with Seiichi on a number of occasions in regards to the ceiling painting, plus the verbal and eyewitness testimonies of Fumiko’s loyal maids not only putting Seiichi in the crime scene, but also the tools and murder weapon in his physical hands. During those times, Seiichi wasn’t painting a damn thing, he was actually applying his murder weapon, called Scheele’s Green, to the ceiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scheele’s Green is created by combining copper(II) sulfate acting as the base element for the green color, arsenious oxide added to provide brilliance, durability, and a much cheaper production cost than older vegetable dyes, and sodium carbonate as the solvent agent mixing the two compounds. When Scheele’s Green is broken down into its individual compounds, it undergoes chemical and biological degradation that transforms solid copper arsenite into highly toxic, airborne arsenic gases (primarily trimethylarsine or arsine gas), alongside corrosive chemical subproducts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The timed heater turns on causing the mold to explode rapidly, releasing the fatal fumes and choking and eventually killing Fumiko Asaka in her own bedroom. After two hours have past, Seiichi went into Fumiko’s room to open the balcony door and released the arsenic fumes to the environment where it dispersed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is proof of this; Rachel had previously gifted Fumiko a bonquet of flowers when they first arrived, however, they were a mixture of full blowns and baby buds. As of now, due to the warm humidity from the timed heater as mentioned at the start of the resolution, every flower in that bonquet has fully bloomed and blossomed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To survive the toxic arsenic in the pigment, the fungus metabolized the copper arsenite through a process called biomethylation. The fungus converted the solid arsenic into trimethylarsine gas. This lethal, invisible gas has a distinct garlic-like odor and slowly poisons anyone sleeping or sitting in the room, leading to severe illness and death. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of Scheele’s Green sounds like a script out of a horror film. People inflicted with this demonic color have vomited green fluid, the dusting of the green powder that landed on their face, when mixed with clear liquid fluids, gave victims the horrid appearance of shedding green tears. A few candles burning in a room released arsenic vapers to a group of people attending parties in Victorian-era London. Those same people had their lives drastically altered and maimed, majority of them cut short. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The staggering math comes directly from the pioneering work of Dr. A.W. Hofmann, a famous German chemist who published a scathing exposé in 1862 titled &amp;quot;The Dance of Death&amp;quot;. An average Victorian ballgown made of green tarlatan fabric contained roughly 58 to 60 grams of pure arsenic. To put that into context, because a lethal dose of arsenic for an adult is only about 0.1 to 0.3 grams, a single fashion-forward dress carried enough poison to kill around 200 people. It is a truly mind-boggling and terrifying statistic to wrap one’s head around. The fact that a woman could walk into a crowded ballroom literally covered in enough lethal material to poison hundreds of people—all in the name of high fashion—perfectly captures the bizarre dangers of the Victorian era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer&#039;s eyes turned green before she died. Not only that, but because of her occupation as a fluffer (a specific type of factory laborer whose job was to apply a velvety, lifelike texture or vibrant finish to artificial leaves and flowers) her nail beds went from normal to a terrifying green. Because her eyes were physically coated in a layer of copper arsenite, it completely distorted her vision. On her deathbed, she frantically told her doctor that &amp;quot;everything she looked at was green&amp;quot;. She wasn&#039;t just hallucinating; she was literally looking at the world through a literal film of toxic green pigment caked over her own eyes before finally being called by the heavens to come to glory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone in the room, with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. It is because of those brutal side effects and mounting death tolls that Scheele’s Green was discontinued. As a professional painter of global recognition, Seiichi knows ALL too well of the horrors of Scheele’s Green; it is taught more often as a lesson in art history than a modern day painting technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. Conan (though Richard) states his patience has been rewarded because now he can play his “Ace”, otherwise called the legal doctrine of Exigent Circumstances and Immediate Threat to Public Safety.  At first, Inspector Meguire was virtually powerless to do anything in regards to Seiichi’s palette box, but with this ace in effect, Meguire has the immediate authority to seize the box without a pre-signed warrant under the aforementioned legal doctrine. The law has an immediate obligation to secure and neutralize active poisons or volatile chemical hazards at a crime scene to protect the public, the maids, and themselves from lethal arsine gas exposure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, calling his bluff, stating innocent men have nothing to hide and the truth shall set him free, considering if he was truly innocent. The reason why Seiichi is hesitant is because it had already been mentioned: two palette boxes were found in the luggage from two suspects, Dr. Gennori, and the other from Seiichi. Dr. Gennori’s is genuinely innocent and safe to open, but what about Seiichi’s? Yes, there were harmless paints and brushes, but were they really harmless as he claims? The short answer is no, they are lethally laced with mold and paints to give off the same fatal fumes that murdered Fumiko. Seiichi couldn’t very well have trashed these certain tools in the garbage and gone about his day because someone somewhere would have gotten ahold of them and pieced it all together, eventually linking him to this cold blooded murder. They were sealed off to protect himself. The tip off came from one of Meguire’s men, “there were paintbrushes loaded with paint all the way to the ferrule.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan states that while no one there is an art student, that’s one of the things a painter of international recognition should never do. Painters keep paint on the bottom two-thirds of the bristles. Paint dried inside the metal band (ferrule) is almost impossible to remove and splits the brush head permanently. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to stand out. The formula is complete: Seiichi has the weapons, plus the access of the crime scene, plus his direct paints and mold applications that released the poison that caused her death, and adding in the time for which said mold and paints were applied, equals a painting of absolute justice for Fumiko, and a lifetime of punishment and atonement for Seiichi. Conan yields back, putting his bow tie back around his neck as Meguire has the poisonous palette box bagged, tagged, and safety waiting outside the mansion for the Fire Department Hazardous Materials Unit (HazMat). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi kindly asks the room if they know who is he, then asks again, before exploding in a rage filled rant that he is the Master Painter, Seiichi Hashimoto. His work is his life, his passion, and his legacy. He confesses to brutally murdering Fumiko, because she simply stated that she didn’t like the painting Seiichi did and wanted him to remake it. Seiichi continues, with veins popping out of his neck and at the top of his lungs, asking the room if Richard knows who he is and what he’s capable of. Meguire places Seiichi in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic narcissist from doing harm, as a bonus, he takes full pride to know that Matilda (the 1891 19-year-old Scheele’s Green victim) got the peaceful spiritual send off that was wrongfully denied to her for more than a century. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flowers that Rachel gave Fumiko have fully bloomed, releasing clusters of pollen from the petals, blowing outside and disappearing into the mountains of the now peaceful countryside, almost as if Fumiko and Matilda’s spirits was finally set free and Fumiko-sama knowing her killer was brought to absolute justice. &amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical and with that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Just as Richard proclaims to be tired and exhausted from being sick all day, he is put to sleep by Conan using his trademark wristwatch stun gun. Using Richard’s voice, Conan successfully breaks down the killer’s psychological profile and informs Inspector Meguire to take caution as the culprit they are looking for doesn’t handle rejection very well and is a dangerous narcissistic psychopath who is willing to murder people who criticize their work. Conan reveals that everyone was lead to believe that the killer had to approach the victim and force poison down into her system. While natural to believe at first glance, this is entirely false; for the killer was actually making homemade poison and slowly systematically transforming Fumiko’s bedroom into a massive death chamber under the false pretense of performing basic duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing forward, the killer had already applied a few methods way before Fumiko was murdered in cold blood. One of these methods included the heater in her room. Fumiko had been inflicted with a cold, most likely from sleeping multiple nights with the air conditioner running. The killer took note of that and waged their bets that it wouldn’t be used, and set the timer heater on during the function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As noted by Gennori beforehand, it is June, meaning hot days and cool nights. With the heater on, Fumiko’s room became warm and humidified. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. In damp environments, mycotoxins attach themselves to airborne mold spores and microscopic dust fragments. When humans inhale this dust, the toxins bypass the body&#039;s primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all elements and components in place, it was time to reveal the direct link in Fumiko’s brutal demise. The actual poison itself has been in the room the entire time, specially embedded in the painting on the ceiling. The killer is someone who could nonchalantly apply poison to the environment and, when the time and combination of the two factors mentioned from earlier, eventually reach Fumiko without them being present in the same room as her. The killer is revealed to be the painter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Seiichi Hashimoto&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To satisfy the formula for a legal conviction, Conan breaks down Seiichi and his crime. Hashimoto used paint and then weaponized the toxic substances and properties of the mold. Inspector Meguire, once a fully mandated court order has been signed and dated by an independent judge or a competent court, has full legal authority to check Fumiko’s cell phone records and emails; upon doing so will reveal an undeniable timeline that proves that Fumiko has consulted with Seiichi on a number of occasions in regards to the ceiling painting, plus the verbal and eyewitness testimonies of Fumiko’s loyal maids not only putting Seiichi in the crime scene, but also the tools and murder weapon in his physical hands. During those times, Seiichi wasn’t painting a damn thing, he was actually applying his murder weapon, called Scheele’s Green, to the ceiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scheele’s Green is created by combining copper(II) sulfate acting as the base element for the green color, arsenious oxide added to provide brilliance, durability, and a much cheaper production cost than older vegetable dyes, and sodium carbonate as the solvent agent mixing the two compounds. When Scheele’s Green is broken down into its individual compounds, it undergoes chemical and biological degradation that transforms solid copper arsenite into highly toxic, airborne arsenic gases (primarily trimethylarsine or arsine gas), alongside corrosive chemical subproducts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The timed heater turns on causing the mold to explode rapidly, releasing the fatal fumes and choking and eventually killing Fumiko Asaka in her own bedroom. After two hours have past, Seiichi went into Fumiko’s room to open the balcony door and released the arsenic fumes to the environment where it dispersed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is proof of this; Rachel had previously gifted Fumiko a bonquet of flowers when they first arrived, however, they were a mixture of full blowns and baby buds. As of now, due to the warm humidity from the timed heater as mentioned at the start of the resolution, every flower in that bonquet has fully bloomed and blossomed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To survive the toxic arsenic in the pigment, the fungus metabolized the copper arsenite through a process called biomethylation. The fungus converted the solid arsenic into trimethylarsine gas. This lethal, invisible gas has a distinct garlic-like odor and slowly poisons anyone sleeping or sitting in the room, leading to severe illness and death. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of Scheele’s Green sounds like a script out of a horror film. People inflicted with this demonic color have vomited green fluid, the dusting of the green powder that landed on their face, when mixed with clear liquid fluids, gave victims the horrid appearance of shedding green tears. A few candles burning in a room released arsenic vapers to a group of people attending parties in Victorian-era London. Those same people had their lives drastically altered and maimed, majority of them cut short. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The staggering math comes directly from the pioneering work of Dr. A.W. Hofmann, a famous German chemist who published a scathing exposé in 1862 titled &amp;quot;The Dance of Death&amp;quot;. An average Victorian ballgown made of green tarlatan fabric contained roughly 58 to 60 grams of pure arsenic. To put that into context, because a lethal dose of arsenic for an adult is only about 0.1 to 0.3 grams, a single fashion-forward dress carried enough poison to kill around 200 people. It is a truly mind-boggling and terrifying statistic to wrap one’s head around. The fact that a woman could walk into a crowded ballroom literally covered in enough lethal material to poison hundreds of people—all in the name of high fashion—perfectly captures the bizarre dangers of the Victorian era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer&#039;s eyes turned green before she died. Not only that, but because of her occupation as a fluffer (a specific type of factory laborer whose job was to apply a velvety, lifelike texture or vibrant finish to artificial leaves and flowers) her nail beds went from normal to a terrifying green. Because her eyes were physically coated in a layer of copper arsenite, it completely distorted her vision. On her deathbed, she frantically told her doctor that &amp;quot;everything she looked at was green&amp;quot;. She wasn&#039;t just hallucinating; she was literally looking at the world through a literal film of toxic green pigment caked over her own eyes before finally being called by the heavens to come to glory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone in the room, with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. It is because of those brutal side effects and mounting death tolls that Scheele’s Green was discontinued. As a professional painter of global recognition, Seiichi knows ALL too well of the horrors of Scheele’s Green; it is taught more often as a lesson in art history than a modern day painting technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. Conan (though Richard) demands he show them right now. Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, calling his bluff, stating innocent men have nothing to hide and the truth shall set him free, considering if he was truly innocent. The reason why Seiichi is hesitant is because it had already been mentioned: two palette boxes were found in the luggage from two suspects, Dr. Gennori, and the other from Seiichi. Dr. Gennori’s is genuinely innocent and safe to open, but what about Seiichi’s? Yes, there were harmless paints and brushes, but were they really harmless as he claims? The short answer is no, they are lethally laced with mold and paints to give off the same fatal fumes that murdered Fumiko. Seiichi couldn’t very well have trashed these certain tools in the garbage and gone about his day because someone somewhere would have gotten ahold of them and pieced it all together, eventually linking him to this cold blooded murder. They were sealed off to protect himself. The tip off came from one of Meguire’s men, “there were paintbrushes loaded with paint all the way to the ferrule.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan states that while no one there is an art student, that’s one of the things a painter of international recognition should never do. Painters keep paint on the bottom two-thirds of the bristles. Paint dried inside the metal band (ferrule) is almost impossible to remove and splits the brush head permanently. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to stand out. The formula is complete: Seiichi has the weapons, plus the access of the crime scene, plus his direct paints and mold applications that released the poison that caused her death, and adding in the time for which said mold and paints were applied, equals a painting of justice for Fumiko, and a lifetime of punishment and atonement for Seiichi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi kindly asks the room if they know who is he, then asks again, before exploding in a rage filled rant that he is the Master Painter, Seiichi Hashimoto. His work is his life, his passion, and his legacy. He confesses to brutally murdering Fumiko, because she simply stated that she didn’t like the painting Seiichi did and wanted him to remake it. Seiichi continues, with veins popping out of his neck and at the top of his lungs, asking the room if Richard knows who he is and what he’s capable of. Meguire places Seiichi in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic narcissist from doing harm, as a bonus, he takes full pride to know that Matilda (the 1891 19-year-old Scheele’s Green victim) got the peaceful spiritual send off that was wrongfully denied to her for more than a century. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flowers that Rachel gave Fumiko have fully bloomed, releasing clusters of pollen from the petals, blowing outside and disappearing into the mountains of the now peaceful countryside, almost as if Fumiko and Matilda’s spirits was finally set free and Fumiko-sama knowing her killer was brought to absolute justice. &amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical and with that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Just as Richard proclaims to be tired and exhausted from being sick all day, he is put to sleep by Conan using his trademark wristwatch stun gun. Using Richard’s voice, Conan successfully breaks down the killer’s psychological profile and informs Inspector Meguire to take caution as the culprit they are looking for doesn’t handle rejection very well and is a dangerous narcissistic psychopath who is willing to murder people who criticize their work. Conan reveals that everyone was lead to believe that the killer had to approach the victim and force poison down into her system. While natural to believe at first glance, this is entirely false; for the killer was actually making homemade poison and slowly systematically transforming Fumiko’s bedroom into a massive death chamber under the false pretense of performing basic duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing forward, the killer had already applied a few methods way before Fumiko was murdered in cold blood. One of these methods included the heater in her room. Fumiko had been inflicted with a cold, most likely from sleeping multiple nights with the air conditioner running. The killer took note of that and waged their bets that it wouldn’t be used, and set the timer heater on during the function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As noted by Gennori beforehand, it is June, meaning hot days and cool nights. With the heater on, Fumiko’s room became warm and humidified. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. In damp environments, mycotoxins attach themselves to airborne mold spores and microscopic dust fragments. When humans inhale this dust, the toxins bypass the body&#039;s primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all elements and components in place, it was time to reveal the direct link in Fumiko’s brutal demise. The actual poison itself has been in the room the entire time, specially embedded in the painting on the ceiling. The killer is someone who could nonchalantly apply poison to the environment and, when the time and combination of the two factors mentioned from earlier, eventually reach Fumiko without them being present in the same room as her. The killer is revealed to be the painter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Seiichi Hashimoto&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To satisfy the formula for a legal conviction, Conan breaks down Seiichi and his crime. Hashimoto used paint and then weaponized the toxic substances and properties of the mold. Inspector Meguire, once a fully mandated court order has been signed and dated by an independent judge or a competent court, has full legal authority to check Fumiko’s cell phone records and emails; upon doing so will reveal an undeniable timeline that proves that Fumiko has consulted with Seiichi on a number of occasions in regards to the ceiling painting, plus the verbal and eyewitness testimonies of Fumiko’s loyal maids not only putting Seiichi in the crime scene, but also the tools and murder weapon in his physical hands. During those times, Seiichi wasn’t painting a damn thing, he was actually applying his murder weapon, called Scheele’s Green, to the ceiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scheele’s Green is created by combining copper(II) sulfate acting as the base element for the green color, arsenious oxide added to provide brilliance, durability, and a much cheaper production cost than older vegetable dyes, and sodium carbonate as the solvent agent mixing the two compounds. When Scheele’s Green is broken down into its individual compounds, it undergoes chemical and biological degradation that transforms solid copper arsenite into highly toxic, airborne arsenic gases (primarily trimethylarsine or arsine gas), alongside corrosive chemical subproducts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The timed heater turns on causing the mold to explode rapidly, releasing the fatal fumes and choking and eventually killing Fumiko Asaka in her own bedroom. After two hours have past, Seiichi went into Fumiko’s room to open the balcony door and released the arsenic fumes to the environment where it dispersed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is proof of this; Rachel had previously gifted Fumiko a bonquet of flowers when they first arrived, however, they were a mixture of full blowns and baby buds. As of now, due to the warm humidity from the timed heater as mentioned at the start of the resolution, every flower in that bonquet has fully bloomed and blossomed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To survive the toxic arsenic in the pigment, the fungus metabolized the copper arsenite through a process called biomethylation. The fungus converted the solid arsenic into trimethylarsine gas. This lethal, invisible gas has a distinct garlic-like odor and slowly poisons anyone sleeping or sitting in the room, leading to severe illness and death. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of Scheele’s Green sounds like a script out of a horror film. People inflicted with this demonic color have vomited green fluid, the dusting of the green powder that landed on their face, when mixed with clear liquid fluids, gave victims the horrid appearance of shedding green tears. A few candles burning in a room released arsenic vapers to a group of people attending parties in Victorian-era London. Those same people had their lives drastically altered and maimed, majority of them cut short. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The staggering math comes directly from the pioneering work of Dr. A.W. Hofmann, a famous German chemist who published a scathing exposé in 1862 titled &amp;quot;The Dance of Death&amp;quot;. An average Victorian ballgown made of green tarlatan fabric contained roughly 58 to 60 grams of pure arsenic. To put that into context, because a lethal dose of arsenic for an adult is only about 0.1 to 0.3 grams, a single fashion-forward dress carried enough poison to kill around 200 people. It is a truly mind-boggling and terrifying statistic to wrap one’s head around. The fact that a woman could walk into a crowded ballroom literally covered in enough lethal material to poison hundreds of people—all in the name of high fashion—perfectly captures the bizarre dangers of the Victorian era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer&#039;s eyes turned green before she died. Not only that, but because of her occupation as a fluffer (a specific type of factory laborer whose job was to apply a velvety, lifelike texture or vibrant finish to artificial leaves and flowers) her nail beds went from normal to a terrifying green. Because her eyes were physically coated in a layer of copper arsenite, it completely distorted her vision. On her deathbed, she frantically told her doctor that &amp;quot;everything she looked at was green&amp;quot;. She wasn&#039;t just hallucinating; she was literally looking at the world through a literal film of toxic green pigment caked over her own eyes before finally being called by the heavens to come to glory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone in the room, with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. It is because of those brutal side effects and mounting death tolls that Scheele’s Green was discontinued. As a professional painter of global recognition, Seiichi knows ALL too well of the horrors of Scheele’s Green; it is taught more often as a lesson in art history than a modern day painting technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. Conan (though Richard) demands he show them right now. Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, calling his bluff, stating innocent men have nothing to hide and the truth shall set him free, considering if he was truly innocent. The reason why Seiichi is hesitant is because it had already been mentioned: two palette boxes were found in the luggage from two suspects, Dr. Gennori, and the other from Seiichi. Dr. Gennori’s is genuinely innocent and safe to open, but what about Seiichi’s? Yes, there were harmless paints and brushes, but were they really harmless as he claims? The short answer is no, they are lethally laced with mold and paints to give off the same fatal fumes that murdered Fumiko. Seiichi couldn’t very well have trashed these certain tools in the garbage and gone about his day because someone somewhere would have gotten ahold of them and pieced it all together, eventually linking him to this cold blooded murder. They were sealed off to protect himself. The tip off came from one of Meguire’s men, “there were paintbrushes loaded with paint all the way to the ferrule.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan states that while no one there is an art student, that’s one of the things a painter of international recognition should never do. Painters keep paint on the bottom two-thirds of the bristles. Paint dried inside the metal band (ferrule) is almost impossible to remove and splits the brush head permanently. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to stand out. The formula is complete: Seiichi has the weapons, plus the access of the crime scene, plus his direct paints and mold applications that released the poison that caused her death, and adding in the time for which said mold and paints were applied, equals a painting of justice for Fumiko, and a lifetime of punishment and atonement for Seiichi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi kindly asks the room if they know who is he, then asks again, before exploding in a rage filled rant that he is the Master Painter, Seiichi Hashimoto. His work is his life, his passion, and his legacy. He confesses to brutally murdering Fumiko, because she simply stated that she didn’t like the painting Seiichi did and wanted him to remake it. Seiichi continues, with veins popping out of his neck and at the top of his lungs, asking the room if Richard knows who he is and what he’s capable of. Meguire places Seiichi in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic narcissist from doing harm, as a bonus, he takes full pride to know that Matilda (the 1891 19-year-old Scheele’s Green victim) got the peaceful spiritual send off that was wrongfully denied to her for more than a century. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The flowers that Rachel gave Fumiko have fully bloomed, releasing clusters of pollen from the petals, blowing outside and disappearing into the mountains of the now peaceful countryside, almost as if Fumiko and Matilda’s spirit was finally set free and Fumiko-sama knowing her killer was brought to absolute justice. &amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical and with that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Just as Richard proclaims to be tired and exhausted from being sick all day, he is put to sleep by Conan using his trademark wristwatch stun gun. Using Richard’s voice, Conan successfully breaks down the killer’s psychological profile and informs Inspector Meguire to take caution as the culprit they are looking for doesn’t handle rejection very well and is a dangerous narcissistic psychopath who is willing to murder people who criticize their work. Conan reveals that everyone was lead to believe that the killer had to approach the victim and force poison down into her system. While natural to believe at first glance, this is entirely false; for the killer was actually making homemade poison and slowly systematically transforming Fumiko’s bedroom into a massive death chamber under the false pretense of performing basic duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing forward, the killer had already applied a few methods way before Fumiko was murdered in cold blood. One of these methods included the heater in her room. Fumiko had been inflicted with a cold, most likely from sleeping multiple nights with the air conditioner running. The killer took note of that and waged their bets that it wouldn’t be used, and set the timer heater on during the function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As noted by Gennori beforehand, it is June, meaning hot days and cool nights. With the heater on, Fumiko’s room became warm and humidified. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. In damp environments, mycotoxins attach themselves to airborne mold spores and microscopic dust fragments. When humans inhale this dust, the toxins bypass the body&#039;s primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all elements and components in place, it was time to reveal the direct link in Fumiko’s brutal demise. The actual poison itself has been in the room the entire time, specially embedded in the painting on the ceiling. The killer is someone who could nonchalantly apply poison to the environment and, when the time and combination of the two factors mentioned from earlier, eventually reach Fumiko without them being present in the same room as her. The killer is revealed to be the painter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Seiichi Hashimoto&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To satisfy the formula for a legal conviction, Conan breaks down Seiichi and his crime. Hashimoto used paint and then weaponized the toxic substances and properties of the mold. Inspector Meguire, once a fully mandated court order has been signed and dated by an independent judge or a competent court, has full legal authority to check Fumiko’s cell phone records and emails; upon doing so will reveal an undeniable timeline that proves that Fumiko has consulted with Seiichi on a number of occasions in regards to the ceiling painting, plus the verbal and eyewitness testimonies of Fumiko’s loyal maids not only putting Seiichi in the crime scene, but also the tools and murder weapon in his physical hands. During those times, Seiichi wasn’t painting a damn thing, he was actually applying his murder weapon, called Scheele’s Green, to the ceiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scheele’s Green is created by combining copper(II) sulfate acting as the base element for the green color, arsenious oxide added to provide brilliance, durability, and a much cheaper production cost than older vegetable dyes, and sodium carbonate as the solvent agent mixing the two compounds. When Scheele’s Green is broken down into its individual compounds, it undergoes chemical and biological degradation that transforms solid copper arsenite into highly toxic, airborne arsenic gases (primarily trimethylarsine or arsine gas), alongside corrosive chemical subproducts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The timed heater turns on causing the mold to explode rapidly, releasing the fatal fumes and choking and eventually killing Fumiko Asaka in her own bedroom. After two hours have past, Seiichi went into Fumiko’s room to open the balcony door and released the arsenic fumes to the environment where it dispersed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is proof of this; Rachel had previously gifted Fumiko a bonquet of flowers when they first arrived, however, they were a mixture of full blowns and baby buds. As of now, due to the warm humidity from the timed heater as mentioned at the start of the resolution, every flower in that bonquet has fully bloomed and blossomed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To survive the toxic arsenic in the pigment, the fungus metabolized the copper arsenite through a process called biomethylation. The fungus converted the solid arsenic into trimethylarsine gas. This lethal, invisible gas has a distinct garlic-like odor and slowly poisons anyone sleeping or sitting in the room, leading to severe illness and death. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of Scheele’s Green sounds like a script out of a horror film. People inflicted with this demonic color have vomited green fluid, the dusting of the green powder that landed on their face, when mixed with clear liquid fluids, gave victims the horrid appearance of shedding green tears. A few candles burning in a room released arsenic vapers to a group of people attending parties in Victorian-era London. Those same people had their lives drastically altered and maimed, majority of them cut short. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The staggering math comes directly from the pioneering work of Dr. A.W. Hofmann, a famous German chemist who published a scathing exposé in 1862 titled &amp;quot;The Dance of Death&amp;quot;. An average Victorian ballgown made of green tarlatan fabric contained roughly 58 to 60 grams of pure arsenic. To put that into context, because a lethal dose of arsenic for an adult is only about 0.1 to 0.3 grams, a single fashion-forward dress carried enough poison to kill around 200 people. It is a truly mind-boggling and terrifying statistic to wrap one’s head around. The fact that a woman could walk into a crowded ballroom literally covered in enough lethal material to poison hundreds of people—all in the name of high fashion—perfectly captures the bizarre dangers of the Victorian era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer&#039;s eyes turned green before she died. Not only that, but because of her occupation as a fluffer (a specific type of factory laborer whose job was to apply a velvety, lifelike texture or vibrant finish to artificial leaves and flowers) her nail beds went from normal to a terrifying green. Because her eyes were physically coated in a layer of copper arsenite, it completely distorted her vision. On her deathbed, she frantically told her doctor that &amp;quot;everything she looked at was green&amp;quot;. She wasn&#039;t just hallucinating; she was literally looking at the world through a literal film of toxic green pigment caked over her own eyes before finally being called by the heavens to come to glory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone in the room, with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. It is because of those brutal side effects and mounting death tolls that Scheele’s Green was discontinued. As a professional painter of global recognition, Seiichi knows ALL too well of the horrors of Scheele’s Green; it is taught more often as a lesson in art history than a modern day painting technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. Conan (though Richard) demands he show them right now. Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, calling his bluff, stating innocent men have nothing to hide and the truth shall set him free, considering if he was truly innocent. The reason why Seiichi is hesitant is because it had already been mentioned: two palette boxes were found in the luggage from two suspects, Dr. Gennori, and the other from Seiichi. Dr. Gennori’s is genuinely innocent and safe to open, but what about Seiichi’s? Yes, there were harmless paints and brushes, but were they really harmless as he claims? The short answer is no, they are lethally laced with mold and paints to give off the same fatal fumes that murdered Fumiko. Seiichi couldn’t very well have trashed these certain tools in the garbage and gone about his day because someone somewhere would have gotten ahold of them and pieced it all together, eventually linking him to this cold blooded murder. They were sealed off to protect himself. The tip off came from one of Meguire’s men, “there were paintbrushes loaded with paint all the way to the ferrule.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan states that while no one there is an art student, that’s one of the things a painter of international recognition should never do. Painters keep paint on the bottom two-thirds of the bristles. Paint dried inside the metal band (ferrule) is almost impossible to remove and splits the brush head permanently. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to stand out. The formula is complete: Seiichi has the weapons, plus the access of the crime scene, plus his direct paints and mold applications that released the poison that caused her death, and adding in the time for which said mold and paints were applied, equals a painting of justice for Fumiko, and a lifetime of punishment and atonement for Seiichi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi kindly asks the room if they know who is he, then asks again, before exploding in a rage filled rant that he is the Master Painter, Seiichi Hashimoto. His work is his life, his passion, and his legacy. He confesses to brutally murdering Fumiko, because she simply stated that she didn’t like the painting Seiichi did and wanted him to remake it. Seiichi continues, with veins popping out of his neck and at the top of his lungs, asking the room if Richard knows who he is and what he’s capable of. Meguire places Seiichi in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic narcissist from doing harm. The flowers that Rachel gave Fumiko have fully bloomed, releasing clusters of pollen from the petals, blowing outside and disappearing into the mountains of the now peaceful countryside, almost as if Fumiko’s spirit was finally set free knowing her killer was brought to absolute justice. &amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Sachi Makise&#039;&#039;&#039;. Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical and with that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Just as Richard proclaims to be tired and exhausted from being sick all day, he is put to sleep by Conan using his trademark wristwatch stun gun. Using Richard’s voice, Conan successfully breaks down the killer’s psychological profile and informs Inspector Meguire to take caution as the culprit they are looking for doesn’t handle rejection very well and is a dangerous narcissistic psychopath who is willing to murder people who criticize their work. Conan reveals that everyone was lead to believe that the killer had to approach the victim and force poison down into her system. While natural to believe at first glance, this is entirely false; for the killer was actually making homemade poison and slowly systematically transforming Fumiko’s bedroom into a massive death chamber under the false pretense of performing basic duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing forward, the killer had already applied a few methods way before Fumiko was murdered in cold blood. One of these methods included the heater in her room. Fumiko had been inflicted with a cold, most likely from sleeping multiple nights with the air conditioner running. The killer took note of that and waged their bets that it wouldn’t be used, and set the timer heater on during the function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As noted by Gennori beforehand, it is June, meaning hot days and cool nights. With the heater on, Fumiko’s room became warm and humidified. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. In damp environments, mycotoxins attach themselves to airborne mold spores and microscopic dust fragments. When humans inhale this dust, the toxins bypass the body&#039;s primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all elements and components in place, it was time to reveal the direct link in Fumiko’s brutal demise. The actual poison itself has been in the room the entire time, specially embedded in the painting on the ceiling. The killer is someone who could nonchalantly apply poison to the environment and, when the time and combination of the two factors mentioned from earlier, eventually reach Fumiko without them being present in the same room as her. The killer is revealed to be the painter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Seiichi Hashimoto&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To satisfy the formula for a legal conviction, Conan breaks down Seiichi and his crime. Hashimoto used paint and then weaponized the toxic substances and properties of the mold. Inspector Meguire, once a fully mandated court order has been signed and dated by an independent judge or a competent court, has full legal authority to check Fumiko’s cell phone records and emails; upon doing so will reveal an undeniable timeline that proves that Fumiko has consulted with Seiichi on a number of occasions in regards to the ceiling painting, plus the verbal and eyewitness testimonies of Fumiko’s loyal maids not only putting Seiichi in the crime scene, but also the tools and murder weapon in his physical hands. During those times, Seiichi wasn’t painting a damn thing, he was actually applying his murder weapon, called Scheele’s Green, to the ceiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scheele’s Green is created by combining copper(II) sulfate acting as the base element for the green color, arsenious oxide added to provide brilliance, durability, and a much cheaper production cost than older vegetable dyes, and sodium carbonate as the solvent agent mixing the two compounds. When Scheele’s Green is broken down into its individual compounds, it undergoes chemical and biological degradation that transforms solid copper arsenite into highly toxic, airborne arsenic gases (primarily trimethylarsine or arsine gas), alongside corrosive chemical subproducts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The timed heater turns on causing the mold to explode rapidly, releasing the fatal fumes and choking and eventually killing Fumiko Asaka in her own bedroom. After two hours have past, Seiichi went into Fumiko’s room to open the balcony door and released the arsenic fumes to the environment where it dispersed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is proof of this; Rachel had previously gifted Fumiko a bonquet of flowers when they first arrived, however, they were a mixture of full blowns and baby buds. As of now, due to the warm humidity from the timed heater as mentioned at the start of the resolution, every flower in that bonquet has fully bloomed and blossomed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To survive the toxic arsenic in the pigment, the fungus metabolized the copper arsenite through a process called biomethylation. The fungus converted the solid arsenic into trimethylarsine gas. This lethal, invisible gas has a distinct garlic-like odor and slowly poisons anyone sleeping or sitting in the room, leading to severe illness and death. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of Scheele’s Green sounds like a script out of a horror film. People inflicted with this demonic color have vomited green fluid, the dusting of the green powder that landed on their face, when mixed with clear liquid fluids, gave victims the horrid appearance of shedding green tears. A few candles burning in a room released arsenic vapers to a group of people attending parties in Victorian-era London. Those same people had their lives drastically altered and maimed, majority of them cut short. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The staggering math comes directly from the pioneering work of Dr. A.W. Hofmann, a famous German chemist who published a scathing exposé in 1862 titled &amp;quot;The Dance of Death&amp;quot;. An average Victorian ballgown made of green tarlatan fabric contained roughly 58 to 60 grams of pure arsenic. To put that into context, because a lethal dose of arsenic for an adult is only about 0.1 to 0.3 grams, a single fashion-forward dress carried enough poison to kill around 200 people. It is a truly mind-boggling and terrifying statistic to wrap one’s head around. The fact that a woman could walk into a crowded ballroom literally covered in enough lethal material to poison hundreds of people—all in the name of high fashion—perfectly captures the bizarre dangers of the Victorian era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer&#039;s eyes turned green before she died. Not only that, but because of her occupation as a fluffer (a specific type of factory laborer whose job was to apply a velvety, lifelike texture or vibrant finish to artificial leaves and flowers) her nail beds went from normal to a terrifying green. Because her eyes were physically coated in a layer of copper arsenite, it completely distorted her vision. On her deathbed, she frantically told her doctor that &amp;quot;everything she looked at was green&amp;quot;. She wasn&#039;t just hallucinating; she was literally looking at the world through a literal film of toxic green pigment caked over her own eyes before finally being called by the heavens to come to glory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone in the room, with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. It is because of those brutal side effects and mounting death tolls that Scheele’s Green was discontinued. As a professional painter of global recognition, Seiichi knows ALL too well of the horrors of Scheele’s Green; it is taught more often as a lesson in art history than a modern day painting technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. Conan (though Richard) demands he show them right now. Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, calling his bluff, stating innocent men have nothing to hide and the truth shall set him free, considering if he was truly innocent. The reason why Seiichi is hesitant is because it had already been mentioned: two palette boxes were found in the luggage from two suspects, Dr. Gennori, and the other from Seiichi. Dr. Gennori’s is genuinely innocent and safe to open, but what about Seiichi’s? Yes, there were harmless paints and brushes, but were they really harmless as he claims? The short answer is no, they are lethally laced with mold and paints to give off the same fatal fumes that murdered Fumiko. Seiichi couldn’t very well have trashed these certain tools in the garbage and gone about his day because someone somewhere would have gotten ahold of them and pieced it all together, eventually linking him to this cold blooded murder. They were sealed off to protect himself. The tip off came from one of Meguire’s men, “there were paintbrushes loaded with paint all the way to the ferrule.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan states that while no one there is an art student, that’s one of the things a painter of international recognition should never do. Painters keep paint on the bottom two-thirds of the bristles. Paint dried inside the metal band (ferrule) is almost impossible to remove and splits the brush head permanently. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to stand out. The formula is complete: Seiichi has the weapons, plus the access of the crime scene, plus his direct paints and mold applications that released the poison that caused her death, and adding in the time for which said mold and paints were applied, equals a painting of justice for Fumiko, and a lifetime of punishment and atonement for Seiichi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi kindly asks the room if they know who is he, then asks again, before exploding in a rage filled rant that he is the Master Painter, Seiichi Hashimoto. His work is his life, his passion, and his legacy. He confesses to brutally murdering Fumiko, because she simply stated that she didn’t like the painting Seiichi did and wanted him to remake it. Seiichi continues, with veins popping out of his neck and at the top of his lungs, asking the room if Richard knows who he is and what he’s capable of. Meguire places Seiichi in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic narcissist from doing harm. The flowers that Rachel gave Fumiko have fully bloomed, releasing clusters of pollen from the petals, blowing outside and disappearing into the now peaceful countryside, almost as if Fumiko’s spirit was finally set free knowing her killer was brought to absolute justice. &amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Sachi Makise&#039;&#039;&#039;. Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical and with that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Just as Richard proclaims to be tired and exhausted from being sick all day, he is put to sleep by Conan using his trademark wristwatch stun gun. Using Richard’s voice, Conan successfully breaks down the killer’s psychological profile and informs Inspector Meguire to take caution as the culprit they are looking for doesn’t handle rejection very well and is a dangerous narcissistic psychopath who is willing to murder people who criticize their work. Conan reveals that everyone was lead to believe that the killer had to approach the victim and force poison down into her system. While natural to believe at first glance, this is entirely false; for the killer was actually making homemade poison and slowly systematically transforming Fumiko’s bedroom into a massive death chamber under the false pretense of performing basic duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing forward, the killer had already applied a few methods way before Fumiko was murdered in cold blood. One of these methods included the heater in her room. Fumiko had been inflicted with a cold, most likely from sleeping multiple nights with the air conditioner running. The killer took note of that and waged their bets that it wouldn’t be used, and set the timer heater on during the function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As noted by Gennori beforehand, it is June, meaning hot days and cool nights. With the heater on, Fumiko’s room became warm and humidified. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. In damp environments, mycotoxins attach themselves to airborne mold spores and microscopic dust fragments. When humans inhale this dust, the toxins bypass the body&#039;s primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all elements and components in place, it was time to reveal the direct link in Fumiko’s brutal demise. The actual poison itself has been in the room the entire time, specially embedded in the painting on the ceiling. The killer is someone who could nonchalantly apply poison to the environment and, when the time and combination of the two factors mentioned from earlier, eventually reach Fumiko without them being present in the same room as her. The killer is revealed to be the painter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Seiichi Hashimoto&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To satisfy the formula for a legal conviction, Conan breaks down Seiichi and his crime. Hashimoto used paint and then weaponized the toxic substances and properties of the mold. Inspector Meguire, once a fully mandated court order has been signed and dated by an independent judge or a competent court, has full legal authority to check Fumiko’s cell phone records and emails; upon doing so will reveal an undeniable timeline that proves that Fumiko has consulted with Seiichi on a number of occasions in regards to the ceiling painting, plus the verbal and eyewitness testimonies of Fumiko’s loyal maids not only putting Seiichi in the crime scene, but also the tools and murder weapon in his physical hands. During those times, Seiichi wasn’t painting a damn thing, he was actually applying his murder weapon, called Scheele’s Green, to the ceiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scheele’s Green is created by combining copper(II) sulfate acting as the base element for the green color, arsenious oxide added to provide brilliance, durability, and a much cheaper production cost than older vegetable dyes, and sodium carbonate as the solvent agent mixing the two compounds. When Scheele’s Green is broken down into its individual compounds, it undergoes chemical and biological degradation that transforms solid copper arsenite into highly toxic, airborne arsenic gases (primarily trimethylarsine or arsine gas), alongside corrosive chemical subproducts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The timed heater turns on causing the mold to explode rapidly, releasing the fatal fumes and choking and eventually killing Fumiko Asaka in her own bedroom. After two hours have past, Seiichi went into Fumiko’s room to open the balcony door and released the arsenic fumes to the environment where it dispersed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is proof of this; Rachel had previously gifted Fumiko a bonquet of flowers when they first arrived, however, they were a mixture of full blowns and baby buds. As of now, due to the warm humidity from the timed heater as mentioned at the start of the resolution, every flower in that bonquet has fully bloomed and blossomed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To survive the toxic arsenic in the pigment, the fungus metabolized the copper arsenite through a process called biomethylation. The fungus converted the solid arsenic into trimethylarsine gas. This lethal, invisible gas has a distinct garlic-like odor and slowly poisons anyone sleeping or sitting in the room, leading to severe illness and death. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of Scheele’s Green sounds like a script out of a horror film. People inflicted with this demonic color have vomited green fluid, the dusting of the green powder that landed on their face, when mixed with clear liquid fluids, gave victims the horrid appearance of shedding green tears. A few candles burning in a room released arsenic vapers to a group of people attending parties in Victorian-era London. Those same people had their lives drastically altered and maimed, majority of them cut short. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The staggering math comes directly from the pioneering work of Dr. A.W. Hofmann, a famous German chemist who published a scathing exposé in 1862 titled &amp;quot;The Dance of Death&amp;quot;. An average Victorian ballgown made of green tarlatan fabric contained roughly 58 to 60 grams of pure arsenic. To put that into context, because a lethal dose of arsenic for an adult is only about 0.1 to 0.3 grams, a single fashion-forward dress carried enough poison to kill around 200 people. It is a truly mind-boggling and terrifying statistic to wrap one’s head around. The fact that a woman could walk into a crowded ballroom literally covered in enough lethal material to poison hundreds of people—all in the name of high fashion—perfectly captures the bizarre dangers of the Victorian era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer&#039;s eyes turned green before she died. Not only that, but because of her occupation as a fluffer (a specific type of factory laborer whose job was to apply a velvety, lifelike texture or vibrant finish to artificial leaves and flowers) her nail beds went from normal to a terrifying green. Because her eyes were physically coated in a layer of copper arsenite, it completely distorted her vision. On her deathbed, she frantically told her doctor that &amp;quot;everything she looked at was green&amp;quot;. She wasn&#039;t just hallucinating; she was literally looking at the world through a literal film of toxic green pigment caked over her own eyes before finally being called by the heavens to come to glory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone in the room, with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. It is because of those brutal side effects and mounting death tolls that Scheele’s Green was discontinued. As a professional painter of global recognition, Seiichi knows ALL too well of the horrors of Scheele’s Green; it is taught more often as a lesson in art history than a modern day painting technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. Conan (though Richard) demands he show them right now. Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, calling his bluff, stating innocent men have nothing to hide and the truth shall set him free, considering if he was truly innocent. The reason why Seiichi is hesitant is because it had already been mentioned: two palette boxes were found in the luggage from two suspects, Dr. Gennori, and the other from Seiichi. Dr. Gennori’s is genuinely innocent and safe to open, but what about Seiichi’s? Yes, there were harmless paints and brushes, but were they really harmless as he claims? The short answer is no, they are lethally laced with mold and paints to give off the same fatal fumes that murdered Fumiko. Seiichi couldn’t very well have trashed these certain tools in the garbage and gone about his day because someone somewhere would have gotten ahold of them and pieced it all together, eventually linking him to this cold blooded murder. They were sealed off to protect himself. The tip off came from one of Meguire’s men, “there were paintbrushes loaded with paint all the way to the ferrule.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan states that while no one there is an art student, that’s one of the things a painter of international recognition should never do. Painters keep paint on the bottom two-thirds of the bristles. Paint dried inside the metal band (ferrule) is almost impossible to remove and splits the brush head permanently. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to stand out. The formula is complete: Seiichi has the weapons, plus the access of the crime scene, plus his direct paints and mold applications that released the poison that caused her death, and adding in the time for which said mold and paints were applied, equals a painting of justice for Fumiko, and a lifetime of punishment and atonement for Seiichi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi kindly asks the room if they know who is he, then asks again, before exploding in a rage filled rant that he is the Master Painter, Seiichi Hashimoto. His work is his life, his passion, and his legacy. He confesses to brutally murdering Fumiko, because she simply stated that she didn’t like the painting Seiichi did and wanted him to remake it. Seiichi continues, with veins popping out of his neck and at the top of his lungs, asking the room if Richard knows who he is and what he’s capable of. Meguire places Seiichi in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic narcissist from doing harm. The flowers that Rachel gave Fumiko have fully bloomed, releasing clusters of pollen from the petals, blowing outside and disappearing into the now peaceful countryside, almost as if Fumiko’s spirit was finally set free knowing her killer was brought to absolute justice. &amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Sachi Makise&#039;&#039;&#039;. Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical and with that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Just as Richard proclaims to be tired and exhausted from being sick all day, he is put to sleep by Conan using his trademark wristwatch stun gun. Using Richard’s voice, Conan successfully breaks down the killer’s psychological profile and informs Inspector Meguire to take caution as the culprit they are looking for doesn’t handle rejection very well and is a dangerous narcissistic psychopath who is willing to murder people who criticize their work. Conan reveals that everyone was lead to believe that the killer had to approach the victim and force poison down into her system. While natural to believe at first glance, this is entirely false; for the killer was actually making homemade poison and slowly systematically transforming Fumiko’s bedroom into a massive death chamber under the false pretense of performing basic duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing forward, the killer had already applied a few methods way before Fumiko was murdered in cold blood. One of these methods included the heater in her room. Fumiko had been inflicted with a cold, most likely from sleeping multiple nights with the air conditioner running. The killer took note of that and waged their bets that it wouldn’t be used, and set the timer heater on during the function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As noted by Gennori beforehand, it is June, meaning hot days and cool nights. With the heater on, Fumiko’s room became warm and humidified. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. In damp environments, mycotoxins attach themselves to airborne mold spores and microscopic dust fragments. When humans inhale this dust, the toxins bypass the body&#039;s primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Cheyenne.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all elements and components in place, it was time to reveal the direct link in Fumiko’s brutal demise. The actual poison itself has been in the room the entire time, specially embedded in the painting on the ceiling. The killer is someone who could nonchalantly apply poison to the environment and, when the time and combination of the two factors mentioned from earlier, eventually reach Fumiko without them being present in the same room as her. The killer is revealed to be the painter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Seiichi Hashimoto&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To satisfy the formula for a legal conviction, Conan breaks down Seiichi and his crime. Hashimoto used paint and then weaponized the toxic substances and properties of the mold. Inspector Meguire has full legal authority to check Fumiko’s cell phone records and emails; upon doing so will reveal an undeniable timeline that proves that Fumiko has consulted with Seiichi on a number of occasions in regards to the ceiling painting, plus the verbal and eyewitness testimonies of Fumiko’s loyal maids not only putting Seiichi in the crime scene, but also the tools and murder weapon in his physical hands. During those times, Seiichi wasn’t painting a damn thing, he was actually applying his murder weapon, called Scheele’s Green, to the ceiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scheele’s Green is created by combining copper(II) sulfate acting as the base element for the green color, arsenious oxide added to provide brilliance, durability, and a much cheaper production cost than older vegetable dyes, and sodium carbonate as the solvent agent mixing the two compounds. When Scheele’s Green is broken down into its individual compounds, it undergoes chemical and biological degradation that transforms solid copper arsenite into highly toxic, airborne arsenic gases (primarily trimethylarsine or arsine gas), alongside corrosive chemical subproducts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The timed heater turns on causing the mold to explode rapidly, releasing the fatal fumes and choking and eventually killing Fumiko Asaka in her own bedroom. After two hours have past, Seiichi went into Fumiko’s room to open the balcony door and released the arsenic fumes to the environment where it dispersed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is proof of this; Rachel had previously gifted Fumiko a bonquet of flowers when they first arrived, however, they were a mixture of full blowns and baby buds. As of now, due to the warm humidity from the timed heater as mentioned at the start of the resolution, every flower in that bonquet has fully bloomed and blossomed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To survive the toxic arsenic in the pigment, the fungus metabolized the copper arsenite through a process called biomethylation. The fungus converted the solid arsenic into trimethylarsine gas. This lethal, invisible gas has a distinct garlic-like odor and slowly poisons anyone sleeping or sitting in the room, leading to severe illness and death. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of Scheele’s Green sounds like a script out of a horror film. People inflicted with this demonic color have vomited green fluid, the dusting of the green powder that landed on their face, when mixed with clear liquid fluids, gave victims the horrid appearance of shedding green tears. A few candles burning in a room released arsenic vapers to a group of people attending parties in Victorian-era London. Those same people had their lives drastically altered and maimed, majority of them cut short. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The staggering math comes directly from the pioneering work of Dr. A.W. Hofmann, a famous German chemist who published a scathing exposé in 1862 titled &amp;quot;The Dance of Death&amp;quot;. An average Victorian ballgown made of green tarlatan fabric contained roughly 58 to 60 grams of pure arsenic. To put that into context, because a lethal dose of arsenic for an adult is only about 0.1 to 0.3 grams, a single fashion-forward dress carried enough poison to kill around 200 people. It is a truly mind-boggling and terrifying statistic to wrap one’s head around. The fact that a woman could walk into a crowded ballroom literally covered in enough lethal material to poison hundreds of people—all in the name of high fashion—perfectly captures the bizarre dangers of the Victorian era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer&#039;s eyes turned green before she died. Not only that, but because of her occupation as a fluffer (a specific type of factory laborer whose job was to apply a velvety, lifelike texture or vibrant finish to artificial leaves and flowers) her nail beds went from normal to a terrifying green. Because her eyes were physically coated in a layer of copper arsenite, it completely distorted her vision. On her deathbed, she frantically told her doctor that &amp;quot;everything she looked at was green&amp;quot;. She wasn&#039;t just hallucinating; she was literally looking at the world through a literal film of toxic green pigment caked over her own eyes before finally being called by the heavens to come to glory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone in the room, with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. It is because of those brutal side effects and mounting death tolls that Scheele’s Green was discontinued. As a professional painter of global recognition, Seiichi knows ALL too well of the horrors of Scheele’s Green; it is taught more often as a lesson in art history than a modern day painting technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. Conan (though Richard) demands he show them right now. Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, calling his bluff, stating innocent men have nothing to hide and the truth shall set him free, considering if he was truly innocent. The reason why Seiichi is hesitant is because it had already been mentioned: two palette boxes were found in the luggage from two suspects, Dr. Gennori, and the other from Seiichi. Dr. Gennori’s is genuinely innocent and safe to open, but what about Seiichi’s? Yes, there were harmless paints and brushes, but were they really harmless as he claims? The short answer is no, they are lethally laced with mold and paints to give off the same fatal fumes that murdered Fumiko. Seiichi couldn’t very well have trashed these certain tools in the garbage and gone about his day because someone somewhere would have gotten ahold of them and pieced it all together, eventually linking him to this cold blooded murder. They were sealed off to protect himself. The tip off came from one of Meguire’s men, “there were paintbrushes loaded with paint all the way to the ferrule.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan states that while no one there is an art student, that’s one of the things a painter of international recognition should never do. Painters keep paint on the bottom two-thirds of the bristles. Paint dried inside the metal band (ferrule) is almost impossible to remove and splits the brush head permanently. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to stand out. The formula is complete: Seiichi has the weapons, plus the access of the crime scene, plus his direct paints and mold applications that released the poison that caused her death, and adding in the time for which said mold and paints were applied, equals a painting of justice for Fumiko, and a lifetime of punishment and atonement for Seiichi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi kindly asks the room if they know who is he, then asks again, before exploding in a rage filled rant that he is the Master Painter, Seiichi Hashimoto. His work is his life, his passion, and his legacy. He confesses to brutally murdering Fumiko, because she simply stated that she didn’t like the painting Seiichi did and wanted him to remake it. Seiichi continues, with veins popping out of his neck and at the top of his lungs, asking the room if Richard knows who he is and what he’s capable of. Meguire places Seiichi in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic narcissist from doing harm. The flowers that Rachel gave Fumiko have fully bloomed, releasing clusters of pollen from the petals, blowing outside and disappearing into the now peaceful countryside, almost as if Fumiko’s spirit was finally set free knowing her killer was brought to absolute justice. &amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Sachi Makise&#039;&#039;&#039;. Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical and with that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Just as Richard proclaims to be tired and exhausted from being sick all day, he is put to sleep by Conan using his trademark wristwatch stun gun. Using Richard’s voice, Conan successfully breaks down the killer’s psychological profile and informs Inspector Meguire to take caution as the culprit they are looking for doesn’t handle rejection very well and is a dangerous narcissistic psychopath who is willing to murder people who criticize their work. Conan reveals that everyone was lead to believe that the killer had to approach the victim and force poison down into her system. While natural to believe at first glance, this is entirely false; for the killer was actually making homemade poison and slowly systematically transforming Fumiko’s bedroom into a massive death chamber under the false pretense of performing basic duties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Continuing forward, the killer had already applied a few methods way before Fumiko was murdered in cold blood. One of these methods included the heater in her room. Fumiko had been inflicted with a cold, most likely from sleeping multiple nights with the air conditioner running. The killer took note of that and waged their bets that it wouldn’t be used, and set the timer heater on during the function.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As noted by Gennori beforehand, it is June, meaning hot days and cool nights. With the heater on, Fumiko’s room became warm and humidified. Humidity is the concentration of water vapor present in the air. Water vapor, the gaseous state of water, is generally invisible to the naked eye. Humidity indicates the likelihood for precipitation, dew, or fog to be present. In damp environments, mycotoxins attach themselves to airborne mold spores and microscopic dust fragments. When humans inhale this dust, the toxins bypass the body&#039;s primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Cheyenne.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With all elements and components in place, it was time to reveal the direct link in Fumiko’s brutal demise. The actual poison itself has been in the room the entire time, specially embedded in the painting on the ceiling. The killer is someone who could nonchalantly apply poison to the environment and, when the time and combination of the two factors mentioned from earlier, eventually reach Fumiko without them being present in the same room as her. The killer is revealed to be the painter, Seiichi Hashimoto.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To satisfy the formula for a legal conviction, Conan breaks down Seiichi and his crime. Hashimoto used paint and then weaponized the toxic substances and properties of the mold. Inspector Meguire has full legal authority to check Fumiko’s cell phone records and emails; upon doing so will reveal an undeniable timeline that proves that Fumiko has consulted with Seiichi on a number of occasions in regards to the ceiling painting, plus the verbal and eyewitness testimonies of Fumiko’s loyal maids not only putting Seiichi in the crime scene, but also the tools and murder weapon in his physical hands. During those times, Seiichi wasn’t painting a damn thing, he was actually applying his murder weapon, called Scheele’s Green, to the ceiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scheele’s Green is created by combining copper(II) sulfate acting as the base element for the green color, arsenious oxide added to provide brilliance, durability, and a much cheaper production cost than older vegetable dyes, and sodium carbonate as the solvent agent mixing the two compounds. When Scheele’s Green is broken down into its individual compounds, it undergoes chemical and biological degradation that transforms solid copper arsenite into highly toxic, airborne arsenic gases (primarily trimethylarsine or arsine gas), alongside corrosive chemical subproducts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The timed heater turns on causing the mold to explode rapidly, releasing the fatal fumes and choking and eventually killing Fumiko Asaka in her own bedroom. After two hours have past, Seiichi went into Fumiko’s room to open the balcony door and released the arsenic fumes to the environment where it dispersed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is proof of this; Rachel had previously gifted Fumiko a bonquet of flowers when they first arrived, however, they were a mixture of full blowns and baby buds. As of now, due to the warm humidity from the timed heater as mentioned at the start of the resolution, every flower in that bonquet has fully bloomed and blossomed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To survive the toxic arsenic in the pigment, the fungus metabolized the copper arsenite through a process called biomethylation. The fungus converted the solid arsenic into trimethylarsine gas. This lethal, invisible gas has a distinct garlic-like odor and slowly poisons anyone sleeping or sitting in the room, leading to severe illness and death. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The history of Scheele’s Green sounds like a script out of a horror film. People inflicted with this demonic color have vomited green fluid, the dusting of the green powder that landed on their face, when mixed with clear liquid fluids, gave victims the horrid appearance of shedding green tears. A few candles burning in a room released arsenic vapers to a group of people attending parties in Victorian-era London. Those same people had their lives drastically altered and maimed, majority of them cut short. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The staggering math comes directly from the pioneering work of Dr. A.W. Hofmann, a famous German chemist who published a scathing exposé in 1862 titled &amp;quot;The Dance of Death&amp;quot;. An average Victorian ballgown made of green tarlatan fabric contained roughly 58 to 60 grams of pure arsenic. To put that into context, because a lethal dose of arsenic for an adult is only about 0.1 to 0.3 grams, a single fashion-forward dress carried enough poison to kill around 200 people. It is a truly mind-boggling and terrifying statistic to wrap one’s head around. The fact that a woman could walk into a crowded ballroom literally covered in enough lethal material to poison hundreds of people—all in the name of high fashion—perfectly captures the bizarre dangers of the Victorian era.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer&#039;s eyes turned green before she died. Not only that, but because of her occupation as a fluffer (a specific type of factory laborer whose job was to apply a velvety, lifelike texture or vibrant finish to artificial leaves and flowers) her nail beds went from normal to a terrifying green. Because her eyes were physically coated in a layer of copper arsenite, it completely distorted her vision. On her deathbed, she frantically told her doctor that &amp;quot;everything she looked at was green&amp;quot;. She wasn&#039;t just hallucinating; she was literally looking at the world through a literal film of toxic green pigment caked over her own eyes before finally being called by the heavens to come to glory. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone in the room, with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. It is because of those brutal side effects and mounting death tolls that Scheele’s Green was discontinued. As a professional painter of global recognition, Seiichi knows ALL too well of the horrors of Scheele’s Green; it is taught more often as a lesson in art history than a modern day painting technique.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. Conan (though Richard) demands he show them right now. Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, calling his bluff, stating innocent men have nothing to hide and the truth shall set him free, considering if he was truly innocent. The reason why Seiichi is hesitant is because it had already been mentioned: two palette boxes were found in the luggage from two suspects, Dr. Gennori, and the other from Seiichi. Dr. Gennori’s is genuinely innocent and safe to open, but what about Seiichi’s? Yes, there were harmless paints and brushes, but were they really harmless as he claims? The short answer is no, they are lethally laced with mold and paints to give off the same fatal fumes that murdered Fumiko. Seiichi couldn’t very well have trashed these certain tools in the garbage and gone about his day because someone somewhere would have gotten ahold of them and pieced it all together, eventually linking him to this cold blooded murder. They were sealed off to protect himself. The tip off came from one of Meguire’s men, “there were paintbrushes loaded with paint all the way to the ferrule.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan states that while no one there is an art student, that’s one of the things a painter of international recognition should never do. Painters keep paint on the bottom two-thirds of the bristles. Paint dried inside the metal band (ferrule) is almost impossible to remove and splits the brush head permanently. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to stand out. The formula is complete: Seiichi has the weapons, plus the access of the crime scene, plus his direct paints and mold applications that released the poison that caused her death, and adding in the time for which said mold and paints were applied, equals a painting of justice for Fumiko, and a lifetime of punishment and atonement for Seiichi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiichi kindly asks the room if they know who is he, then asks again, before exploding in a rage filled rant that he is the Master Painter, Seiichi Hashimoto. His work is his life, his passion, and his legacy. He confesses to brutally murdering Fumiko, because she simply stated that she didn’t like the painting Seiichi did and wanted him to remake it. Seiichi continues, with veins popping out of his neck and at the top of his lungs, asking the room if Richard knows who he is and what he’s capable of. Meguire places Seiichi in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic narcissist from doing harm. The flowers that Rachel gave Fumiko have fully bloomed, releasing clusters of pollen from the petals, blowing outside and disappearing into the now peaceful countryside, almost as if Fumiko’s spirit was finally set free knowing her killer was brought to absolute justice. &amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life.

Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical and with that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;

Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function.

&lt;br /&gt;
Within minutes, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene and secures the area, while his team has already put in work: the deceased’s name is Fumiko Asaka-sama, her cause of death appears to be necrosis due to poisoning. No poisonous substances have been yet to be discovered in the venomous species and the time of passing is estimated at 3AM, this early morning. He has already made headway into the case and has talked with a few of Fumiko’s maidens in the mansion with three suspects in mind: the first suspect is Gennori Sugita, Fumiko’s bedside doctor. The hospital works for is financially collapsing to rebuild the hospital’s struggling management team and the building itself, none of which will happen. He has since been working by her side believing she doesn’t have long left. Seiichi Hashimoto is a world renowned painter but hasn’t won any international painting competitions in years. As a result, Fumiko has repeatedly threatened to cut off funding but has employed him to work on personal projects to keep food on the table. Finally, Koichi Saito is Fumiko’s younger, more physically fit lover. He has been overheard by Fumiko’s maids making marriage proposals to the deceased, but Fumiko had determined through independent reports that Koichi is involved with other women and he is more likely after her wealth than anything else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Meguire states that all 3 men have more than enough motivation to warrant further investigation and that each suspect will be interrogated in a separate room. Conan wonders how the killer was able to deliver the poison and make Fumiko drink it while Richard becomes suspicious of Gennori because of his occupation. Rachel smiles at Conan because “he’s so smart.” Actually, Conan realizes that Fumiko’s room doesn’t need a key, which means anyone could have walked in uncontested. Rachel notices the massive painting of Adam and Eve on the ceiling above Fumiko’s bed before shifting her attention to the bonquet of flowers she gifted Fumiko with at the beginning of the function. Conan sees the painting as well, noting a color that he’s never seen before.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel sees that her bonquet of flowers have began to blossom completely with the exception of a few buds leftover. Conan ponders if the room could have been warmed to a certain degree. Seeing a maid nearby, Conan asks if she noticed anything out of the ordinary. The maid points out that her daily routines are to open the window of her bedroom twice a day, once before waking Fumiko-sama up, and in the evening before bed. Today is different because the bedroom window was already open before the maid got to it. The maid states it is unusual because Fumiko had a cold, refused to sleep with the air conditioner on, but decided midway through the night to open her window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan’s attention is shifted to the heater of the bedroom as he agrees with the maid: having the window open and either the AC/Heater running at the same time is something a normal person wouldn’t do. He wonders if someone turned the heater and what their purpose was for doing so.&lt;br /&gt;
His silent frustration nearly gets the best of him but he is certain that one of the three men, Koichi, Seiichi, and Gennori, is the killer, but he can’t connect the dots to how they stealthy maneuvered around and delivered the fatal substance. Inspector Meguire’s team comes back with news, stating they found palette boxes in Seiichi and Gennori’s rooms but given their occupations, nothing out of the ordinary was found that could be linked to poison. Gennori had Fumiko-sama’s medication that was legally prescribed and receipted to confirm purchases. Seiichi, being a world class internationally known master painter, only had harmless paints and brushes. Richard quickly blames Koichi, stating he must’ve had poison in his palette box and gotten rid of it, but this comically couldn’t be more farther to the truth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This wasn’t the news Conan was hoping for but his mind knows anything is hardly what it is portrayed to be. Rachel complaints about the heat and worries about the mold that will start growing from the humidity. Remembering what Dr. Gennori said, “It&#039;s historically true: when certain molds grow on materials containing arsenic, they can release a highly toxic gas called trimethylarsine”, Conan opens a book from Fumiko’s collection and reads an article entitled, “Scheele’s Green.” Conan consults with one of Meguire’s men about the ingredients of a certain chemical and with that being said, Conan gives an authoritative grin as the sunshine reflects off his glasses. The pieces of the puzzle are firmly in place, and the identity of Fumiko’s murderer is unlocked. With a keen eye for details, only one truth will prevail. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier that have now fully bloomed.&lt;br /&gt;

Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

Richard, with Rachel and Conan in tow, is personally invited to the beautiful mansion of successful businesswoman Asuka Fumiko for a dinner and function. During the introductions, Richard makes a beeline for the bathroom while Rachel hands over a beautiful bouquet of flowers to Fumiko. When Richard returns, Conan playfully jokes that Richard ate some moldy food before coming, earning him a knot on his head from Richard. In attendance is Fumiko’s personal physician, Gennori Sugita, who asks her not to push herself too hard. Fumiko agrees and decides to call it a night. Local painter Seiichi Hashimoto is there, telling Fumiko about the unfinished ceiling painting that is still being looked at. Finally, there is Koichi Saito, who attempts to put the moves on Fumiko, but is allegedly shut down. Before leaving, Fumiko asks all three men, Gennori, Seiichi, and Koichi, to visit her room later that night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That same night, when trying to relax in his guest room provided by Fumiko, Richard’s condition worsens. Rachel warns him not to eat anymore molded buns while Conan runs to fetch Gennori. A maid directs him to the second floor. Conan notices Fumiko’s room slightly open and peers inside. Gennori is tending to the needs of Fumiko, telling her that although it’s June, her mansion sits on high hills and it gets very cold at night. He asks her to keep her humidifier on and to keep warm. As the men depart from Fumiko’s room, they see Conan. Conan asks for Gennori’s assistance with Richard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inside Richard’s room, Gennori tells Richard to be careful when it comes to eating, especially foods that’s expired and have mold on them as they can produce very dangerous toxins, including arsine, that is lethal to humans. Some toxins can be turned into medicine, depending on the species. Rachel praises Gennori on his knowledge, stating Fumiko can rest easy at night knowing she’s in the good hands of a professional doctor; Gennori looks the other way, doesn’t respond, and walks out the door, before bidding everyone a good night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Deeper into the night, everyone is sound asleep, save for Richard’s obnoxious snoring that’s keeping Conan up. Meanwhile, inside Fumiko’s room, her window balcony door is closed. It slightly opens and a mysterious figure pushes it completely open, allowing the cold air to rush inside Fumiko’s room. This figure walks across the room to the exit door, looking back at the sleeping defenseless Fumiko, cracks a haunting smile, and leaves her room. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next morning, a house maid discovers Fumiko in her room in her bed, dead, with a pool of blood out of her mouth and under her head. Conan notices Fumiko’s window is left open and the bonquet of flowers Rachel had given her earlier.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Sachi Makise&#039;&#039;&#039;. Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals the culprit as &#039;&#039;&#039;Naoko Takahashi&#039;&#039;&#039;. After she murdered Akagawa, she sliced his corpse into thin layers and hid them in laboratory files. She accomplished this nearly impossible feat by use of the hospital’s rotary microtome, an instrument most commonly found in laboratories and research centers. A microtome can easily cut through bone, teeth, human flesh and tissue into extremely thin ribbons. Conan notices her relation to the victim when she confidently picked a red pen and gave it to Akagawa when he requested her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naoko&#039;s motive is, as suspected, because Akagawa broke up with her after he became a famous writer and married Yumi, and refused to honor her request to wrote the story of their time together into a novel. In anger and madness, she decided to kill him and &amp;quot;turned him into books&amp;quot; instead. After her grisly deeds are exposed, she feels no remorse for what’s done and maniacally laughs as she is arrested for murder.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== File 3 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuku Sakano&#039;&#039;&#039;. She used an extract of a Scopolia Japonica, a poisonous plant known to accelerate heartbeat mixed with muscle relaxant cream to murder Yoshizawa, by coating the cloth used during the Relay Race with it. Onigawara, who was in the race between her and Yoshizawa, was not poisoned because he was wearing gloves. Because Yoshizawa&#039;s gloves have been missing before the race, Shinichi concludes that she must&#039;ve stolen it to make sure that the victim&#039;s hands come into contact with the poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sakano confesses and reveals her motive: the rumor about the marriage between her and Yoshizawa was a lie, as she still loves her late husband, Shoichi&#039;s father. Because of her husband&#039;s death and her being busy as a teacher, Soichi became a delinquent and was regularly arrested by the police. Yoshizawa, who took Soichi from the station, would then extorted her each time in exchange for keeping quiet about Soichi&#039;s crime, but once her money began to run out he threatened to let Soichi be sent to the Youth detention center. Not wanting to part with her son, she decided to kill Yoshizawa and silenced him.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== The Mystery of the Murder-Arson ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 4 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Detective Boys and Ran help Kazuhiko Miyatake, a renown carpenter, in constructing a soil house for the wealthy Kaneo Zenita, in exchange for him giving wooden boards for Ran&#039;s Karate training. Later at night, while the four are on their Neighborhood Watch for arson crime, which has continued after had stopped three months ago, they find that Zenita&#039;s house that had just completes was burned down with Zenita himself inside it. The suspicion fall on Koji Kaji, an arsonist responsible for the most of the arson in the past, and Mana Zenita, who would benefit from Kaneo&#039;s death as the sole inheritor of his fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 5 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The wife of Zenita is able to provide an alibi during the time of the murder, as she was with her lover in Hawaii, causing the suspicion to immediately fall on Kaji. Although saddened that the house he built was destroyed, Miyatake invites the Detective Boys and Ran to his house to show his gratitude for their help. However, the Detective Boys discover a shocking truth about the arson, and the culprit behind it. With this information, they confront the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is the carpenter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kazuhiko Miyatake&#039;&#039;&#039;. Since Kaneo Zenita had planned to cook using the new kitchen which utilise strong flames, Kazuhiko sabotaged the structures of Kaneo&#039;s house by building them with worn out bamboos that was used to build Kazuhiko&#039;s own house before rather than fresh new bamboos. Fresh Bamboos are very hard to be ignited compared to already worn out bamboos, which is why Kaneo&#039;s house easily burn when he uses strong flames when cooking. Prior to the murder, he committed arson in the area that he had built houses in order to frame Koji Kaji, the original arsonist from three months ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Kazuhiko confesses that Kenzo illegally dumped poisonous chemical in the area that he unknowingly used the soil to build his own house, caused his wife and daughter to succumb to cancer and passed away last year ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Two months after his arrest, Kazuhiko passes away due to the same cancer, with Ran and Conan attending his funeral, noting that he passed away in peace. Conan also snarky comments that Kogoro is sure to live until he is a hundred years old.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Saki confesses that she has always been envious of her sister, because Sayuri was the favorite child since the old days, became a famous idol and married, later divorced, her boyfriend Keiichi, but her last straw broke when Sayuri came to star in Saki&#039;s plays and performed even BETTER than her.

== The Murderer with an Alibi ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, being accompanied by Ran and Conan, has a toothache and sets up an appointment at Ejinbara General Hospital to correct his issue. Through Kogoro’s words, his nurse, Tomoko Egashira, agrees to help but has problems of her own. She suspects the head nurse, Yuko Morita, has been attempting to murder her because she accidently discovered her secret. Kogoro agrees to assist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group arrives at the hospital, which is guarded by Man (he is unnamed). The Guard informs Kogoro that Ejinbara is an all-female exclusive dormitory. Kogoro introduces himself and is allowed access inside, where they encounter a small hamster in the hallway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro meets with Tomoko face to face who explains that her life is in mortal danger and it is because of Yuko. Tomoko states that Yuko has pushed her down a flight of stairs and has had garden pruners nearly fall on top of her. In one very creepy incident, Tomoko woke up one morning, only to find that Yuko had broken in her home, sitting at the edge of the bed holding a sharp syringe in hand. Yuko went into Tomoko’s bathroom, came back, and left without incident.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Tomoko told the higher ups of the situation, they laughed and brushed it off as Yuko, being the head nurse, is well respected and loved by virtually everyone on campus. The dormitory management system is designed to where people from outside can enter. That includes the head nurse Yuko, especially if she has a master key in her possession. Kogoro changes the locks on the door to give Tomoko at least an eased mind until he gets to the bottom of the matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the night goes on, Tomoko gets a call from the hospital staff saying they are short staffed and need her to come in as soon as possible. Tomoko leaves and heads for work, where they meet the head nurse for the first time, 41-year-old Yuko Morita. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Conan, and Kogoro are shocked as they do not pick up any bloodlust, murderous intent, or criminal malice from Yuko. Richard’s treatment begins and Yuko aids Tomoko in the dental procedure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 hours later, Kogoro is recovering while staking out at Tomoko’s dormitory. They notice Yuko chilling in their 4WD right beside the draining pipe that traverses the dormitory building with her fiancée who is a smoker. Yuko had just returned from picking up a cigarette butt that he threw out the window. More questions are raised as to why Tomoko is fearing that Yuko would try to murder her if Yuko is planning on getting married. Kogoro concludes that Tomoko is suffering from [[persecution complex]], a term used to describe people who feel they are being targeted without any evidence to support their claim. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomoko sits in her room, doors locked, windows latched, everything sealed, in a state of complete uncertainty. Her hands begin sweating, and her shirt builds perspiration. Even with Kogoro now holding the key to her newly changed locked door, Tomoko can not help but feel she’s going to die. She looks down to see Yuko and her fiancé’s car still running with Richard watching her carefully. Still, the feeling of impending doom is too much. She has her hands in her hair, wondering how Yuko will get to her. The thoughts of Yuko pushing Tomoko down the stairs, dropping potted plants from high places, and waking up with her holding a syringe, play out in her mind over and over as if it was a CD on repeat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro begins to drive home, until the Guard bangs on his car window with frantic news; Tomoko is not responding to any of his attempts at the door or by text message. Even banging on her door countless times doesn’t phase her. Yuko, still in her car with her fiancé, listens to the commotion with an eerie smile on her face. Conan notices Yuko’s car nearby that hasn’t moved an inch and she’s still inside. The Guard’s key doesn’t work because Kogoro changed the locks. Kogoro and the gang rush to Tomoko’s room to find Tomoko’s lifeless body lying on the floor with a visible bruise on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan quickly makes his observations and notices that Tomoko’s eyes have turned abnormally white and cloudy. Judging the state of the corpse, it has been 2-3 hours since Tomoko’s demise and it is highly believed that she had been poisoned. The poor girl most likely struggled for air in her last moments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the investigation, the CCTV footage and surveillance camera system monitored by Taiki show nobody approaching Tomoko’s room from the door and window. Since Richard only has the one key in the entire known universe to the newly changed lock and didn’t inform anyone, Tomoko’s room was completely sealed off to the rest of the outside world. In the evaluation of Tomoko’s mental state before her death and the shape of her apartment, Inspector Meguire concludes that Tomoko took her own life due to the heavy mental stress from her occupation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to Tomoko’s death, Richard had been asked to safeguard her from a potential murderer; that person is revealed to be Yuko Morita, the head nurse. Due to a busy schedule, Tomoko began to fear Yuko. Nevertheless, Meguire questions Yuko for her whereabouts and alibi, to which Yuko grins and passes the question to Richard. Richard reluctantly confirms Yuko’s alibi and whereabouts as having been in her car riding around with her fiancé; she never once approached Tomoko’s apartment. Meguire confirms is thoughts on suicide, but Conan isn’t convinced. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a series of “accidents”, Tomoko Egashira hired Richard Moore to protect her from a possible murder attempt that was to be carried out by her superior, head nurse Yuko Morita. After locking herself in her dormitory with Richard the only one having access to and from it, Tomoko was still killed inside in what the Inspector believed was a tragic suicide. There is no doubts to be had: Ejinbara Head of Nurses Yuko Morita murdered Tomoko. She made Tomoko’s last moments on Earth a living Hell, having made the poor girl suffer brutally and slowly until there was no more life in her body. Conan intends to make Yuko pay for what she’s done, but one obstacle remains: HOW DID YUKO GET INSIDE A PERFECTLY SEALED ROOM WITHOUT BEING SEEN OR DETECTED??&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomoko Egashira is dead in what appears to be a stress-induced suicide, and no one couldn’t be more happier to see her corpse than the prime suspect, Ejinbara Head of Nurses, Yuko Marita, whose medical career spans a decade and a half, and is well known and respected in the field of medicine. While Tomoko’s corpse is taken for an autopsy, Conan knows that Tomoko didn’t kill herself, but just like all her patients, Yuko took care of that on her own. The only question remains: how?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After seeing for herself that Tomoko is dead and gone and having Richard reluctantly verifying her perfect alibi, Yuko smugly asks to be excused to her room. A police officer appears with results from Tomoko’s autopsy have came in. It is revealed that she died from carbon monoxide poisoning and another unidentified substance was found in her system, giving a 3/3 ratio. Carbon monoxide accounted for 2/3, while the unknown substance makes up the remaining 1/3. This type of poisoning can occur when breathing in carbon monoxide at excess levels. One can experience dizziness, vomitting, headaches, chest pain, overall weakness in lower levels. Chronic fatigue, memory issues, and death may occur in higher doses and levels. People who tend to use a kerosene stove or a heating burner during the winter months are subjected to carbon monoxide poisoning due to a poor ventilation system in place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given the fact that it is midsummer, the chance of Tomoko dying from carbon monoxide poisoning is a surprise. Her apartment is well maintained and has adequate ventilation. How could one prepare such large amounts of carbon monoxide to get into the room? As the investigation continues, police have discovered a dead rat-like creature on the bathroom floor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel and Conan quickly identify it as the cute little hamster from earlier. It belonged to Tomoko, but how it died and why it smells like stinky sewage water is a mystery. &lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a moment of clarity and goes to check the drainage pipe in the bathroom. He notices that it can come loose and confirms his suspicions that head nurse Yuko Morita is the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Conan, without hesitation, instantly puts Richard to sleep with his wristwatch tranquilizer dart and explains that the poor Tomoko did not commit suicide but was maliciously killed by way of the drainage pipe in the bathroom. The killer pumped carbon monoxide by the tons that resulted in the cruel deaths of Tomoko and her beloved pet hamster, Kari. The results in Tomoko’s autopsy had stated that she died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning, but there was also another chemical present in her system. The drainage pipes extend to the top of the dormitory building from the ground. Pumping such large amounts of carbon monoxide would require a considerable amount of gasoline or an oversized stove or burner. Taking into consideration the first option, there was a large 4-wheel drive vehicle parked in the back of the building: that vehicle belongs to &#039;&#039;&#039;Yuko Morita&#039;&#039;&#039;, who is revealed to be the killer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tonight was a bit hot and humid, so normally Tomoko had her air conditioning unit on, thus having her windows closed. Tomoko’s apartment is narrow as well, so the carbon monoxide coming in would expand and fill up in no time. To ensure Tomoko suffered a slow painful death with no chance of survival, Yuko pumped nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, into Tomoko’s room first, rendering her unconscious for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the other 1/3 unidentified chemical that was found in Tomoko’s system, now completing the 3/3 ratio. As the head of nurses at Ejinbara Hospital, Yuko can get laughing gas with ease and no one would question her if caught outside the hospital with it due to her high rank position. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuko was aware that her movements were being watched. She took advantage of this and created an alibi by pretending to pick up cigarette butts outside by the building. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although other people were home at the time and the draining pipe is connected to all the units, only Tomoko was killed. The S-shaped drains are infamously known to be the direct link of cockroaches, sewer water, and rats passing into homes causing infections and diseases for the occupants. For that reason, s-shaped drains have been banned from the plumbing code and it is advised to have it replaced. Water is collected at the s-shaped part of the drain, thereby preventing the aforementioned items from getting inside. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also noteworthy of the S-shaped sink drain pipes are that they are mostly subjected to a phenomenon called capillary action, the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space in opposition to or at least without the assistance of any external forces like gravity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Capillary comes from the Latin word capillaris, meaning &amp;quot;of or resembling hair&amp;quot;. The meaning comes from the tiny, hairlike diameter of a capillary. For example, if one is to put just a part of a towel in a small bowl of water, the liquid would be absorbed and most of the towel will be wet. If there is lint or long hair in the S-shaped drain, water will channel through and end up in the drain. With no water inside the S-shaped drain to block anything coming in or out, Yuko proceeded to murder Tomoko Egashira. This is evidenced by the fact that the hamster was able to crawl its way in and out of the drain without any resistance. Unfortunately, it met the same brutal fate as its master. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Inspector removes the S-shaped drain and there is a long band of hairs. Tomoko is a short haired woman, while Yuko sports a long hairstyle. Tomoko has said and made valid complaints that Yuko has been inside her dormitory without her expressed consent. During one of these visits and most likely while Tomoko was asleep given that all her previous attempts at harming her would end in failure, Yuko went to the bathroom, made her way to the S-shaped drain, cut a long piece of her hair and left it in to ensure all water going through would pass and not be collected as explained earlier. Though Yuko denies it, Conan, using Richard’s voice, confirms that through a DNA test, they will compare the hairs in the drain to Yuko’s hair and have a perfect match. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Defeated, Yuko confesses to murdering Tomoko. Her motive was that she made a clinical error while on duty. One night at work, she gave a patient the wrong medication. The honest accidental mix-up ended up leading Kenji to die of organ failure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the patient’s death was a legitimate accident (and no formal investigation was conducted into that matter), Tomoko just happened to be there at the time. Fearing the possibility of having her wedding canceled, being blackmailed, on top of wanting to be happy and not get caught, she resorted to killing her colleague without detection in order to protect her own sanity. In an act of irony moved by the hands of justice, that failed too. Conan concludes, “Happiness can not be built on the suffering and misfortune of others”, as Yuko bursts into tears and is arrested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, the clinical error made by Yuko is looked at and it is discovered that she was one of three nurses working the floor and there were as many as 50 patients admitted that night. Rachel expresses sympathy for Yuko as jobs in the medical field are stressful and unforgiving. Richard gorges himself in sweets, believing he can eat as many as he wants without worrying about cavities forming in his mouth. Suddenly, another toothache strikes Richard with Conan laughing, ending the story arc.&lt;br /&gt;

Prior to murder, she put wool coat on Tamba and in the elevator she used her necklace as a ground wire to connect electricity from floor to Tamba&#039;s pacemaker thus, destroy it and end his life. Makise confessed that she did that because Tamba rejected her proposal. Saito revealed that Tamba rejected her because he often told him that Makise is so perfect that she will find someone better than him. This put Makise in tears.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afterward Genta fully declared that he&#039;s indeed the best leader of Detective Boys which is objectioned by the rest.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== The Intense Cold World of Murder ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan and the Detective Boys, accompanied by their teacher Ms. Koyabashi, are on a school field trip to a food factory. Disinterested, Conan listens to the Japan-Brazil soccer game on his MP3 player which is confiscated by Koyabashi. They are given a tour of the facility by employees Kashiwa and Minamoto. Minamoto abruptly leaves, forcing Kashiwa to handle the tour on her own. Before he departs, Kashiwa gives him a brown paper bag, reminding Minamoto of “that thing” they talked about yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kids are shown a movie about the factory and tour goes well and ends. Conan sneaks off to the employee lounge to watch the last minutes of the soccer game but is caught by Kashiwa. She reprimands Conan for sneaking off on his own. Conan is upset that he can’t watch the game but Kashiwa informs him that the game is over and the Brazilian team won, 3-1. An hour after the tour, and as promised for being good students, Kashiwa gives the kids ice cream. While the loud energetic children enjoy their ice cream, Kashiwa presents a small demonstration using the factory’s large walk-in freezer using another banana. She opens the door of the large walk-in freezer and, to her and the kids’ shock and horror, discover Minamoto on the floor, face up, frozen to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

| footnotes           = Instead of finding ice cream in the freezer, they find Minamoto, dead, frozen solid. &lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched. The exact cause of Minamoto’s death is uncertain as well as his accurate time of death due to the extreme cold conditions, but indicators point to hypothermia as he was froze solid. Minamoto was last seen alive and well at 10AM, which is the time where the tour had begun. As far as hypothermia goes, it is an involuntary drop in core body temperature that occurs during long exposure to extreme cold temperatures. Death varies due to a number of factors depending on the individual. Bright red lividy marks are found at the nape of Minamoto’s neck. The banana Kashiwa gave Minamoto before he left is found near his corpse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is determined that Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put the banana away, but everyone assumes Minamoto slipped and was stuck to the floor, until Conan discovers a pack of broken rice crackers in the victim’s chest pocket. With the given circumstances, Conan believes that someone knocked Minamoto unconscious, causing him to fall facing the front thereby breaking the rice crackers, then turned him on his back to alter the crime scene. While Kashiwa tearfully blames herself for what has happened, Conan fearfully believes that Minamoto has been murdered, and his killer went out of their way to stage it as an accident. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The security guards say no one out of the ordinary in the vicinity of the factory was seen with the exception of Conan, the Detective Boys (who are of no use in this case due to their separation from Conan), their classmates, and Ms. Koyabashi, effectively ruling out the possibility of an outsider job. Kashiwa’s weird behavior lands her on Conan’s suspect list. Furthermore, is it virtually above possible means for anyone to freeze a human body very quickly, even at -60 degrees, but one matter remains: if Kashiwa is the killer, how was she able to freeze a human being with so quickly while being surrounded with children the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a brief encounter with the factory’s owner and maid. The owner says that Minamoto had been reprimanded for slacking off at work and was on the verge of being fired for taking long excessive breaks in the lounge and bathroom. Cell phones and other electronic devices are prohibited during work hours to improve safety. After wrapping up with the boss, Conan hides from Ms. Koyabashi inside the factory’s kitchenette. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Curious, Conan looks inside the trash bin and comes across rice cracker wrappers and cola cans. The maid says Minamoto used to eat his favorite snacks which included rice crackers and a can of cola which was thrown in the garbage. She remembers Minamoto grabbing a few snacks at the beginning of the shift, but strangely enough, she believes someone else threw them in the garbage because Minamoto would have eaten all his snacks and not throw them in the garbage so hastily. After realizing Minamoto was a soccer fan, Conan understands the truth behind his death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Due to the incompetence of the local police, Conan takes matters into his own hands and solves the case. The key factor in solving this crime is to retrace and analyze the victim’s movements, work ethics, and final moments that directly led to his death. Without Kogoro or Sonoko to impersonate, or the Detective Boys to help assist, Conan goes directly for the jugular vein and handles the details of the case himself in front of everyone. Minamoto’s passing was NOT the result of a tragic workplace accident, but instead a cruel malicious murder; the culprit is his coworker, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kashiwa&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Initial Setup and Pretext Facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put inside the brown paper bag containing a banana. This was nothing more than pretext, as she needed the children she was guiding to confirm that Minamoto went into the freezer acting under a harmless favor and giving him a legitimate reason for being in there in the first place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Deadly Assault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, during her break, Kashiwa went straight to the walk-in freezer (which is where Minamoto had been at slacking off on the job), and bashed the unsuspecting Minamoto in the back of his neck near his skull with a metal cylinder, causing the rice crackers in his chest pocket to crush as he fell forward from the unprovoked assault (the bright pink mark started to form thereafter and was found on his neck from this attack). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Kill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Kashiwa proceeded to open the same cylinder, turned the still-alive but unconscious Minamoto on his back, oblivious to the rice crackers in his chest pocket, then dumped &#039;&#039;liquid nitrogen&#039;&#039; all over Minamoto‘s body, effectively freezing and killing him in a sheet of ice. The duration of the murder lasted no more than 10 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Explaination of the real murder weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic liquified gas capable of freezing human flesh almost instantly upon contact. It is a hazardous material commonly found in food factories, hospitals, and construction sites and it is primarily used for flash-freezing, food preservation, packaging, medical uses, freezing pipes, among other things. It is incredibly cold at -196 degrees Celsius, or -321 degrees Fahrenheit, and must be handled with care at all times. That was Kashiwa’s murder weapon, not the freezer itself. Liquid nitrogen expands rapidly into nitrogen gas as it warms up. If one pours enough liquid nitrogen into a sealed room to freeze a person, the gas would instantly displace all the oxygen. Even if Minamoto survived the initial freeze because of the Leidenfrost Effect, the victim would lose consciousness within seconds and die of asphyxiation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Counterintuitively, pouring liquid nitrogen onto someone who is wearing clothes is vastly more dangerous than pouring it on someone who is naked. Standard fabrics (like a cotton shirt, jeans, or cloth gloves) will instantly absorb and trap the liquid nitrogen. This holds the cryogenic liquid tightly against the skin, bypassing the Leidenfrost effect completely and causing immediate, catastrophic freezing that can require surgical amputation. Liquid nitrogen isn’t hard for Kashiwa to obtain considering the murder taking place at a food factory where it is commonly found. Kashiwa denies having any involvement in Minamoto’s murder, but Conan asks the investigation team to follow up and look where the cylinders of liquid nitrogen are stored; because both Kashiwa and Minamoto are both factory tour guides and not apart of the food processing and production team, there is not logical reason why Kashiwa’s fingerprints and Minamoto’s hair and skin cells should taint one. This undeniably ties Kashiwa to the murder weapon, satisfying access and physical ties, but more is still to be discussed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cover-Up and Grim Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Committing the crime this way, Kashiwa made it appear that Minamoto accidentally slipped in the freezer and was there for hours. Under natural circumstances, a healthy fit human being would take anywhere between 10 minutes to just about several hours to completely freeze solid. This would undoubtedly give Kashiwa the perfect alibi as she was hoping the investigators would write off his death as a tragic accident. In reality, he was brutally murdered just minutes before the discovery of his corpse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Victim’s Habits and Miscellaneous History &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minamoto was a well-known slacker at work and often left Kashiwa to handle his duties, as such at the beginning of the tour. Kashiwa most likely told their boss that she would get him to cooperate. This is evidenced by Minamoto’s boss who had threatened termination because of his work ethics. Had Minamoto been caught inside the freezer by another random coworker, he could easily state that he was doing that favor for Kashiwa with the banana, and her plan would remain intact. Minamoto had rice crackers and cola inside the freezer and had consumed most of them. The rest were discarded by Kashiwa after she brutally murdered him to remove any trace of his laziness. The maid testifies to this as she has witnessed him indulging on his favorite snacks during work hours on multiple occasions; Minamoto would not have thrown his snacks away so easily. His reason for leaving so abruptly was because he was in a rush to watch the soccer game. Kashiwa told him that the best hiding place was the freezing unit. She would then betray Minamoto, using his laziness against him, and carry out her gruesome crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Final Whistle &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa angrily denies the allegations again made against her and ridicules the police for listening to Conan. As evidence of her crime, Conan testifies that during the encounter he had with Kashiwa while at the employee lounge, she had told him that the soccer game was over and Brazil won 3-1. In addition to witnessing Minamoto eating his favorite snacks during work hours, the maid also testifies and confirms that Minamoto was a soccer fanatic. The reason why this is extraordinarily important is because there is no way Kashiwa should have known about the final score of the soccer game considering she was in the middle of a tour. The soccer game started at 10:00AM, and ended around 11:45. This is usually the time that the final score of the game is announced along with the winner. That being said, the only way Kashiwa could have known ANYTHING regarding the soccer game is if she was in close proximity of someone who was listening to the details, who should have been working but instead decided to slack off and listen to the soccer game in the freezer.  She overheard the details of the game, then she ended Minamoto’s life in the manner described above. This is undeniable concrete evidence placing Kashiwa nowhere else in the factory but in the freezer with Minamoto. In an ironic twist of poetic justice, it is Minamoto’s own slacker lifestyle and passion for soccer that became Kashiwa’s downfall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Killer’s Confession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa, upon realizing her undoing, confesses to Minamoto’s murder. She states that she had a rough life, her parents divorced when she was young, and began getting in more trouble than the law could allow. Kashiwa says she became rebellious and started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Eventually, she got tangled up with Minamoto, who Kashiwa claims was a terrible person, but to which degree is up for interpretation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The End of an Ordeal and Final Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she regrets killing Minamoto and is ashamed that she was caught, Kashiwa states that Conan saw through everything and has a moment of deep relief. Kashiwa falls to her knees, defeated, and hugs a confused Conan tightly. She states that Conan is no regular child, that he saw through everything, and blew the metaphorical whistle on her. Kashiwa says that next time, she’ll stand guard at the goal post. Tears flow down Kashiwa’s face as she is arrested for murder.&lt;br /&gt;

== Famous Detective VS The Perfect Crime ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Kogoro, and Conan are enjoying their time viewing cherry blossoms. Kogoro claims himself to be a master detective and his deductions can cut through any deception thrown his way. Their evening is interrupted when they come across Mr. Mita, a man who proclaims that the perfect crime is possible, then goes on to say that he could pull it off. This disturbs Kogoro, Conan, Mr. Mita’s coworkers, and everyone else within earshot. His boss and the only man capable of putting an end to his shenanigans, Ariyuki Kashima, is laid out and drunk past the point of no return, having consumed massive amounts of alcohol. Conan states that the perfect crime is useless when there is a detective on the scene. Mita proclaims that it was only a joke to see how Kogoro would react. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To soothe the situation, Mita puts on a pair of black leather gloves and pours everyone another round of drinks. The garbage bin is filled to the brim with trash and Kogoro suggests just leaving the trash there, but Ran objects and decides to take their empty cans home to dispose of properly. Mita takes Ariyuki home in a cab. Conan notices that Ariyuki dropped his wallet and goes to return it, but Mita and Ariyuki have already left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving at Ariyuki’s condo, Mita reveals that he actually intends on committing the perfect crime and his selected victim is the unfortunate Ariyuki. The drunk Ariyuki is led to his condo and dragged to the back and inside a sauna room. Mita puts on the same pair of leather gloves from the cherry blossom function, strips Ariyuki of his clothing, even his boxer briefs, prompts him onto the wooden seat, and sets the sauna to its highest temperature possible. Before leaving, Mita forges a note and leaves the condo key in the mailbox. Mita looks back and up at Ariyuki’s condo from outside with complete arrogance and over confidence, showing no remorse and pure excitement for tomorrow’s events. In probably the most unsettling display of zero empathy or a shred of remorse, the intellectual terrifying Mita sings in absolute bliss outside Ariyuki’s condominium complex. Mita finishes his creepy musical number and walks away, hands in pocket, fading into the darkness, as Ariyuki himself dies a slow brutal death inside his sauna.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, Mita returns to Ariyuki to act surprise and concerned for his boss. To his actual dismay and genuine shock, he sees Conan making an appearance as he wants to return Ariyuki’s wallet that he dropped yesterday at the function. Mita has the building owner open the door, claiming he left important documents inside and that Ariyuki himself isn’t opening the door and not answering any calls, fearing for the worst. Once inside, they locate the note and key in the mail slot, but Conan detects a foul odor in the air coming from the back of the condo. He rushes through the condo and inside of the sauna, finds Ariyuki’s corpse, covered in gruesome burns all over.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Coroner’s Office arrives on the scene and launches an investigation into Ariyuki’s death. Based on the condition of the body, it appears if he had fallen asleep in his sauna and was burned to death after he had drunk large amounts of alcohol prior at the previous function. There are no physical injuries or wounds to suggest a confrontation or struggle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks around and finds nothing out of the ordinary in various parts of the victim’s condo: the kitchen, bathroom, and trash. During his search for clues, he has an unsettling feeling of how Mita was just telling a group of people a horrific story about committing the perfect crime and yet he is at the scene of a crime of his late boss. Conan can not yet confirm if foul play is involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giving the circumstances of this case and manner of death, the dispatch of the police is left at the discretion of the medical examiner. There is nothing suspicious about Ariyuki’s corpse. The medical examiner will assume he got home after drinking with his employees, went into the sauna, fell asleep, and was burnt all over his body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, the manner of death makes perfect sense. An autopsy investigator would have no doubts. They would see Ariyuki’s death and rule it an unfortunate accident, submit the documents, all would be forgotten, and the case would be over. Conan replays the voice of Mita in his head where he asks Kogoro if the perfect crime is impossible, claiming he feels he can do it. With virtually no clue or evidence to be found, Conan wonders if Ariyuki Kashima’s gruesome death is the result of a gross accident, or if really a murder, how can it be proven?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan continues to apply pressure to Mr Mita who he believes to have viciously murdered his employer, Ariyuki Kashima. Mita is on Ariyuki’s computer, apparently deleting files. Conan tricks Mita into leaving the computer to search for a phone in Ariyuki’s coat pocket. When he returns, Mita, developing a dark demeanor, menacingly asks Conan on his actions. Conan does not back down and voices his theory: Ariyuki Kashima may have been murdered. This locks Conan and Mita into an intense psychological battle of cat-and-mouse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan does not denounce the facts that Ariyuki was indeed drunk to the point where he needed support from others. It is just odd that he would strip from his clothing, go into the sauna, and fall asleep. Ariyuki wasn’t force to drink massive amounts of alcohol against his will. He wasn’t attacked as there were no bruises, cuts, or abrasions on his physical body with the exception of the fatal burns. Suspicious enough, Ariyuki’s cell phone wasn’t nearby, despite being home. Most people would keep their cell phones nearby in case of work, an emergency, or a need to call for help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita has once stated that the perfect crime was possible but he counters saying that stating something isn’t the same as doing it. Conan adds that Ariyuki came home but didn’t drink any water, a move most drunk people do in an attempt to sober up. There was no signs of any movement inside the kitchen, refrigerator, or trash bin to indicate that Ariyuki consumed any beverage before he was killed. Mita feels Conan’s growing confidence and begins to appreciate the challenge Conan brings to the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan begins to understand Mita on what he meant by “the perfect crime.” The key points he was talking about were: one, meeting the victim, two, using what is available at home, and in Mr. Kashima’s case, a sauna, third, never use force to minimize leaving unnecessary clues behind. Even if these fail, wait for the next opportunity. When all conditions are met, everything will be examined and ruled an accident. Another point given if one looks at it from a different perspective and realize that alcohol is the most dangerous poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alcohol, sometimes referred by its scientific name ethanol, is a psychoactive drug and central nervous system (CNS) depressant, decreasing electrical activity of neurons in the brain. It is the second most consumed psychoactive drug globally behind caffeine, and alcohol use disorders are the most prevalent of all substance use disorders worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies alcohol as a toxic, psychoactive, dependence-producing, and carcinogenic substance. Drinking alcohol reduces alertness, awareness, among other things. Excessive drinking can lead to cancer, liver and heart diseases, mental issues, and even death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Kashima was not forced to drink, he did it on his own accord. He was brought back home drunk out of his mind, stripped of his clothing, placed into the lethally hot sauna without resistance, and was killed. Doing it this way, it reduces the risks of leaving evidence behind, and if a murder attempt goes awry, alcohol will take the blame and the case comes to an end. Conan believes that all of Mita’s horrific crimes have gone off without a hitch and evidence to be found. If the investigation continues at this rate, Mita, with all his flawless calculations, may walk free with the ultimate victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The landlord walks up and asks for Conan and Mita to leave, but Conan isn’t ready yet. When Conan considers if Mita could have removed fingerprints and remembers that he was wearing gloves, he has a stark revelation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Mita is on the phone with a friend planning to go to Italy during Golden Week when there is a ring at his front door. He opens to see Detective Harry Takagi who wishes to talk more about Kashima and his death. Though caught off guard, Mita gives an evil grin, proclaiming to himself how his best performance will prevail and get him off the hook. Conan is besides Takagi, also smiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; If it was any doubts in anyone’s mind about anything regarding this gross murder case, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mita&#039;&#039;&#039; did indeed murder his boss, Ariyuki Kashima, but how his so-called perfect crime will begin crumbling before his very eyes at the hands of Conan (whom Mita has greatly underestimated up until this point) and how Mita will be caught and brought to justice to face punishment for his crime is where the real fun begins. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita looks down at Conan and states that the police and forensics team is at his residence at Conan’s request. He asks Takagi if any of his fingerprints were pulled from the crime scene or near or in Kashima’s sauna. Takagi says no but something of interest was definitely found. That something is an unusual smudge, almost invisible if not for the thorough investigation. Conan confirms that Mita was indeed wearing a pair during the cherry blossom viewing at the get-together that was held at the Japanese Garden the day before. Although because he was wearing gloves, Mita’s fingerprints wasn’t pulled from the sauna switch, but he did leave something behind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular belief, wearing gloves may seem like a clever way to conceal evidence, but depending on the material, it can do more harm than good. Leather products hold their own special qualities and characteristics, almost like a human. This is due to the fact of the natural grain of leather coming from an animal’s hide, meaning it can potentially be used for identification purposes. This is true when examining high-quality leather with visible grain patterns. In some forensic investigations, the police can attempt to lift latent fingerprints from leather surfaces by using special techniques to visualize the ridge details left behind by touch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan inserts that neither Mr. Ariyuki Kashima nor Mita is innocent; both have committed crimes under the law. Ariyuki learned that Mita was embezzling money from his company. Instead of going to the authorities, Mr. Kashima blackmailed him, further fueling the deep hatred inside Mita that eventually manifested into murder. Miniature proof is that Mita was on Kashima’s computer, allegedly looking for Kashima’s address book, but he was really deleting the incriminating emails. Just because one deletes files from a computer, it doesn’t mean they went away completely. Conan states that after Mita did what he did, Conan went after him and confirmed his partial theory. Some of the emails stuck out to Conan in particular: specifically where Mita was a good standing citizen who rose up the ranks in Ariyuki’s company. He even shared aspirations of living in the suburbs, finally marrying his high school sweetheart, having children, grandchildren, and dying without regrets knowing he left a legacy that would be upheld and remembered for generations to come. Based on the heartfelt emails alone, Ariyuki saw Mita’s gentle well mannered heart for weakness and began an extremely relentless campaign in keeping Mita in check, turning Mita into a victim of blackmail, and unfortunately, a cold hearted bloodthirsty sadistic monster that’s led them to this current moment and situation. He even asked some exports on the matter and the results were astounding to say the least. If Mita had any motives for wanting Kashima dead in the worst way possible, it would be that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth of the matter is, Mita is dating a coworker in his department. That woman has said she was pushing Mr. Kashima to drink alot of alcoholic beverages at the cherry blossom viewing party. Mita had to get someone else to get Kashima liquored up to the point of no return and make him drink as much as possible. The gathering of alcohol is also calculated. It would be beneficial if someone else got it on Mita’s behalf. His girlfriend’s behavior matched the given conditions and was investigated as well. During Mita’s girlfriend’s questioning, she stated that Mita asked her to get Kashima drunk and if it was successful, he would take her on vacation to Italy, all expenses paid, just show up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita claims that there is nothing wrong with playing a harmless adult game. Also, the gloves that Takagi wants has been thrown in the incinerator due to their defectiveness and holes. Mita gives another evil grin and states that Conan’s attempts at naming him the killer was entertaining but have came up short, leaving Conan and Takagi helpless. Takagi asks Mita if he remembers pouring Detective Kogoro Mouri a beer in his cup at the garden party. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During that time, Mita was wearing his leather gloves, the &#039;&#039;very same ones&#039;&#039; from the cherry blossom party. The trash bin at the garden was full to capacity so nothing else could have been disposed of. With no other choice, that same beer can that Mita touched with his gloves went to Detective Mouri’s house and was discarded there. If the unique characteristic mark made by Mita’s leather gloves matches the mark on Kashima’s sauna switch with the beer can, then Mita’s perfect crime theory is a bust, and the link between the cherry blossom and hot sauna is therefore satisfied. He can kiss his girlfriend and his trip to Italy goodbye for the rest of his life. Mita is promptly arrested by Takagi as Conan tells him that his words held true: “when there is a detective who stands on business, there is no such thing as a perfect crime.” With Mita now in custody to face judgment for murder, Conan takes his rightfully earned victory in triumph and returns to the Mouri agency.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Haunted Mansion Murder Case ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 10 === &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking advantage of the calm sunny day, Conan and the Detective Boys are playing soccer in the neighborhood. Genta kicks the ball a little harder than intended, sending it over a bricked fence of a massive eerie mansion. A mysterious figure peers at the kids from a top window, sending chills down their spines. The figure, only known as House Keeper (nameless in the story, but named for plot identification purposes), turns out to be harmless and comes down the stairs to greet the children outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
House Keeper invites the children inside and gives them a tour of the premises where Ayumi notices a picture of who she believes is the House Keeper in her youth. Out of nowhere, Mitsuhiko is shouted at. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone rushes over to find Mitsuhiko inside a brightly lit study room with the mansion owner, Shozo Ohara. Shozo is furious that one of the many antique guns sitting on the table could have went off and Mitsuhiko could have been seriously hurt or even killed by accident. He demands to know why children are in his mansion, until Shozo’s wife, Suzue, carrying a pitcher of water, empty glass, and packet of medicine, enters and claims she invited them. Conan is left confused but Shozo stands firm on his stance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue asks her husband if he has taken his medication, to which he has not. Shozo tells his wife to leave the tray of glasses and medicine on the table. She does carefully next to one of the guns and tells him to not forget to take them. Shozo asks everyone to leave so he may tend to his work. As they leave, HK jumps at a reflection of herself in a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To ease the tension, Suzue has House Keeper give the children strawberry shortcake while Mitsuhiko excuses himself to the toilet. Ayumi questions Suzue why is their large mansion so dark, following up with a suggestion to open the window. Suzue gives a haunting grin and states that she is absolutely right: she loves bright spaces, but her husband despises them. Suddenly, a loud gunshot is heard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group springs into action, led by Conan to the source of the sound coming from the study room where Shozo was last seen. House Keeper confirms that the door is locked , prompting Conan to hop on Genta’s shoulders to peep though the window above the door. He discovers that Shozo has been shot to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is underway with Kogoro and Megure helming operations. Kogoro instantly recognizes Suzue as &#039;&#039;The Phantom Actress&#039;&#039;, who, at the height of her career and popularity, disappeared from the lens of the camera. Kogoro himself is a fan of Suzue’s career. The study is opened by Conan so the investigation may start.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notices the gun used in the death is still at the scene. The bullet that killed Shozo is in the wall. While looking for potential suspects, they consider people who may have a grudge, but Suzue can’t think of anyone. Based on the scene, it appears that someone confronted Shozo and popped him on sight, dropped the gun, and fled. Megure questions Suzue, and she explains that she was eating cake with the children. House Keeper and the Detective Boys confirm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only person unaccounted for, who went to use the restroom, was Mitsuhiko, but the investigation team doesn’t bother making him a suspect. The skylight is impossible to pass through unless you are a child. Moreover, the&lt;br /&gt;
study door was locked by Shozo from the inside; entry inside to the study to reach Shozo is absolutely impossible. With every entry/exit point sealed away, Conan declares a perfectly locked room murder case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks at the gun and notices the hammer is still up. Under normal conditions, once a gun is fired, the hammer closes. A bloody Japanese hiragana character (光)”hikari, meaning “light”, is found near the body. Mitsuhiko finally returns from the bathroom. Kogoro sends him through believing he unknowingly activated a trick. Mitsuhiko struggles but manages to barely squeeze through. Genta and Ayumi ridicule Kogoro for not having the case solved already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notes a line of black substance near the upside down glass on the table and is zapped in the eye by a ray of sunlight. He measures and angles bullet holes in the wall. After everything has been examined, Conan understands the mystery of the Haunted Mansion and its Locked Room Scenario.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Conan catches Kogoro lacking and tranquilizes him, then immediately names Shozo’s wife, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mrs. Suzue Ohara&#039;&#039;&#039;, as the killer. First, Kogoro (actually Conan using his voice) apologizes to Mitsuhiko for forcing him through the tight space from earlier. Second, while true that she was indeed sitting amongst the children, Conan, and the House Keeper and eating some yummy cake, Suzue pulled off a near perfect murder and gave herself an ironclad alibi to look pristine and innocent in case any suspicious eyes fell upon her. As hard as this may sound, all that was needed was sunlight and water pitcher from earlier. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ray of sunlight shines down from the tilted down skylight to the titled window above the door, which then hits the water pitcher. That water pitcher will now act like a magnifying glass. If the pitcher is moved slightly closer to the gun, and the sun moves on its own which it does regularly, the ray of sunlight will enter the gun’s opening, ignite the gunpowder, and shoot Shozo; this is a perfectly executed plan only Suzue could pull off. A demonstration is created for visualization just as Conan described, and the ray of shiny sunlight shoots off a flintlock gun, firing a harmless blank. The only reason why Suzue allowed the children to stay in the mansion was so they could be witnesses to her crime and confirm that she was in another room when the gun went off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shozo, who was in this locked room of his own accord, grew suspicious of the burning smell produced by the beam of light. He turned around and was immediately shot. Ayumi correctly guesses that was the reason he wrote the 光 character in his blood to leave as a dying message as to what happened to him. Megure interjects and claims that while every described in this case is accurate and holds weight, including the determination of the gun being fired, everything will be looked at as an unfortunate coincidence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To seal Suzue for the murder of her husband, Conan notes that the position of the mirror had to be strategically shifted in order for the beam to trigger the antique gun. Suzue stealthy adjusted the mirror immediately after the murder investigation began, while everyone was already inside the study examining the crime scene. Shozo’s bloody corpse naturally dominated the attention of nearly everyone except for the killer who knew he’d end up in such a brutal predicament. Suzue took advantage and did what needed to be done. Only the lower part had to be moved; the dirty white wall behind it should be visible now. Ayumi again confirms that her reflection in the mirror was visible just moments ago, now it is not. The inside of the mansion is dark, so Suzue didn’t realized it yet but it makes no difference as now it is too late; Suzue’s hands are dirty because they are tainted with soot that covered the mirror after the gun was fired. She had to adjust the mirror back to its original position to tie up loose ends, or risk leaving them exposed so investigators would have pieced together the elements of her plan either here or the station, sooner or later. Speaking of soot, if a forensic examination reveals that the soot on Suzue’s hands matches the soot on the mirror and the profile of the antique flintlock gun, plus access and motive, there is no need to make any excuses; a conviction is highly likely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue, after confirming her hands are indeed laced with soot, confesses and states that Shozo was in the way of her making a comeback into the movie industry. A quick look into Shozo’s diary and previous scripts show that Shozo actually loved his wife and saw the potential she had. He wanted her to continue her career, however, movie studios and producers wouldn’t touch any project given to them as long as Suzue was attached to it, as they viewed her as an old vessel. Finally, Shozo wrote a script and studios were prepared to pay millions if they could substitute Suzue. Producers were going for a younger actress with no acting experience or credentials to her name. He turned them down if Suzue wasn’t the lead actress, leading him to board up the windows of the mansion so Suzue wouldn’t be able to see her reflection in the windows and lose her ambitions. Shozo’s frustrations grew and in order to calm himself down, he put up pictures of Suzue in her younger days around the mansion as a constant reminder that the ambitious actress inside her, he still believes in, regardless of anyone’s opinions. Suzue wanted to reclaim the fame and fortune she once had from an industry that has long discarded her. Nevertheless, She took the life of her biggest supporter in an incredibly sad, senseless murder that didn’t need to happen, and she must live with that for the rest of her life—behind bars. An emotionally devastated Suzue is escorted out of the mansion by Inspector Meguire’s men; her handcuffed hands covering her tear-drawn face as the House Keeper, with the Detective Boys in tow, watches in sadness. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, having woken up unexpectedly, takes full credit despite not being able to recall any moments during the resolution. He remembers a few movies of Suzue, noting how she was the number one star back in her day, and the sadness and regret that will come to her. He is happy that at least she has been brought back to reality.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Haunted Mansion Murder Case ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 10 === &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking advantage of the calm sunny day, Conan and the Detective Boys are playing soccer in the neighborhood. Genta kicks the ball a little harder than intended, sending it over a bricked fence of a massive eerie mansion. A mysterious figure peers at the kids from a top window, sending chills down their spines. The figure, only known as House Keeper (nameless in the story, but named for plot identification purposes), turns out to be harmless and comes down the stairs to greet the children outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
House Keeper invites the children inside and gives them a tour of the premises where Ayumi notices a picture of who she believes is the House Keeper in her youth. Out of nowhere, Mitsuhiko is shouted at. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone rushes over to find Mitsuhiko inside a brightly lit study room with the mansion owner, Shozo Ohara. Shozo is furious that one of the many antique guns sitting on the table could have went off and Mitsuhiko could have been seriously hurt or even killed by accident. He demands to know why children are in his mansion, until Shozo’s wife, Suzue, carrying a pitcher of water, empty glass, and packet of medicine, enters and claims she invited them. Conan is left confused but Shozo stands firm on his stance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue asks her husband if he has taken his medication, to which he has not. Shozo tells his wife to leave the tray of glasses and medicine on the table. She does carefully next to one of the guns and tells him to not forget to take them. Shozo asks everyone to leave so he may tend to his work. As they leave, HK jumps at a reflection of herself in a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To ease the tension, Suzue has House Keeper give the children strawberry shortcake while Mitsuhiko excuses himself to the toilet. Ayumi questions Suzue why is their large mansion so dark, following up with a suggestion to open the window. Suzue gives a haunting grin and states that she is absolutely right: she loves bright spaces, but her husband despises them. Suddenly, a loud gunshot is heard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group springs into action, led by Conan to the source of the sound coming from the study room where Shozo was last seen. House Keeper confirms that the door is locked , prompting Conan to hop on Genta’s shoulders to peep though the window above the door. He discovers that Shozo has been shot to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is underway with Kogoro and Megure helming operations. Kogoro instantly recognizes Suzue as &#039;&#039;The Phantom Actress&#039;&#039;, who, at the height of her career and popularity, disappeared from the lens of the camera. Kogoro himself is a fan of Suzue’s career. The study is opened by Conan so the investigation may start.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notices the gun used in the death is still at the scene. The bullet that killed Shozo is in the wall. While looking for potential suspects, they consider people who may have a grudge, but Suzue can’t think of anyone. Based on the scene, it appears that someone confronted Shozo and popped him on sight, dropped the gun, and fled. Megure questions Suzue, and she explains that she was eating cake with the children. House Keeper and the Detective Boys confirm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only person unaccounted for, who went to use the restroom, was Mitsuhiko, but the investigation team doesn’t bother making him a suspect. The skylight is impossible to pass through unless you are a child. Moreover, the&lt;br /&gt;
study door was locked by Shozo from the inside; entry inside to the study to reach Shozo is absolutely impossible. With every entry/exit point sealed away, Conan declares a perfectly locked room murder case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks at the gun and notices the hammer is still up. Under normal conditions, once a gun is fired, the hammer closes. A bloody Japanese hiragana character (光)”hikari, meaning “light”, is found near the body. Mitsuhiko finally returns from the bathroom. Kogoro sends him through believing he unknowingly activated a trick. Mitsuhiko struggles but manages to barely squeeze through. Genta and Ayumi ridicule Kogoro for not having the case solved already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notes a line of black substance near the upside down glass on the table and is zapped in the eye by a ray of sunlight. He measures and angles bullet holes in the wall. After everything has been examined, Conan understands the mystery of the Haunted Mansion and its Locked Room Scenario.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Conan catches Kogoro lacking and tranquilizes him, then immediately names Shozo’s wife, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mrs. Suzue Ohara&#039;&#039;&#039;, as the killer. First, Kogoro (actually Conan using his voice) apologizes to Mitsuhiko for forcing him through the tight space from earlier. Second, while true that she was indeed sitting amongst the children, Conan, and the House Keeper and eating some yummy cake, Suzue pulled off a near perfect murder and gave herself an ironclad alibi to look pristine and innocent in case any suspicious eyes fell upon her. As hard as this may sound, all that was needed was sunlight and water pitcher from earlier. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ray of sunlight shines down from the tilted down skylight to the titled window above the door, which then hits the water pitcher. That water pitcher will now act like a magnifying glass. If the pitcher is moved slightly closer to the gun, and the sun moves on its own which it does regularly, the ray of sunlight will enter the gun’s opening, ignite the gunpowder, and shoot Shozo; this is a perfectly executed plan only Suzue could pull off. A demonstration is created for visualization just as Conan described, and the ray of shiny sunlight shoots off a flintlock gun, firing a harmless blank. The only reason why Suzue allowed the children to stay in the mansion was so they could be witnesses to her crime and confirm that she was in another room when the gun went off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shozo, who was in this locked room of his own accord, grew suspicious of the burning smell produced by the beam of light. He turned around and was immediately shot. Ayumi correctly guesses that was the reason he wrote the 光 character in his blood to leave as a dying message as to what happened to him. Megure interjects and claims that while every described in this case is accurate and holds weight, including the determination of the gun being fired, everything will be looked at as an unfortunate coincidence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To seal Suzue for the murder of her husband, Conan notes that the position of the mirror had to be strategically shifted in order for the beam to trigger the antique gun. Only the lower part had to be moved; the dirty white wall behind it should be visible now. Ayumi again confirms that her reflection in the mirror was visible just moments ago, now it is not. The inside of the mansion is dark, so Suzue didn’t realized it yet but it makes no difference as now it is too late; Suzue’s hands are dirty because they are tainted with soot that covered the mirror after the gun was fired. She had to adjust the mirror back to its original position to tie up loose ends, or risk leaving them exposed so investigators would have pieced together the elements of her plan either here or the station, sooner or later. Speaking of soot, if a forensic examination reveals that the soot on Suzue’s hands matches the soot on the mirror and the profile of the antique flintlock gun, plus access and motive, there is no need to make any excuses; a conviction is highly likely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue, after confirming her hands are indeed laced with soot, confesses and states that Shozo was in the way of her making a comeback into the movie industry. A quick look into Shozo’s diary and previous scripts show that Shozo actually loved his wife and saw the potential she had. He wanted her to continue her career, however, movie studios and producers wouldn’t touch any project given to them as long as Suzue was attached to it, as they viewed her as an old vessel. Finally, Shozo wrote a script and studios were prepared to pay millions if they could substitute Suzue. Producers were going for a younger actress with no acting experience or credentials to her name. He turned them down if Suzue wasn’t the lead actress, leading him to board up the windows of the mansion so Suzue wouldn’t be able to see her reflection in the windows and lose her ambitions. Shozo’s frustrations grew and in order to calm himself down, he put up pictures of Suzue in her younger days around the mansion as a constant reminder that the ambitious actress inside her, he still believes in, regardless of anyone’s opinions. Suzue wanted to reclaim the fame and fortune she once had from an industry that has long discarded her. Nevertheless, She took the life of her biggest supporter in an incredibly sad, senseless murder that didn’t need to happen, and she must live with that for the rest of her life—behind bars. An emotionally devastated Suzue is escorted out of the mansion by Inspector Meguire’s men; her handcuffed hands covering her tear-drawn face as the House Keeper, with the Detective Boys in tow, watches in sadness. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, having woken up unexpectedly, takes full credit despite not being able to recall any moments during the resolution. He remembers a few movies of Suzue, noting how she was the number one star back in her day, and the sadness and regret that will come to her. He is happy that at least she has been brought back to reality.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 10 === &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking advantage of the calm sunny day, Conan and the Detective Boys are playing soccer in the neighborhood. Genta kicks the ball a little harder than intended, sending it over a bricked fence of a massive eerie mansion. A mysterious figure peers at the kids from a top window, sending chills down their spines. The figure, only known as House Keeper (nameless in the story, but named for plot identification purposes), turns out to be harmless and comes down the stairs to greet the children outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
House Keeper invites the children inside and gives them a tour of the premises where Ayumi notices a picture of who she believes is the House Keeper in her youth. Out of nowhere, Mitsuhiko is shouted at. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone rushes over to find Mitsuhiko inside a brightly lit study room with the mansion owner, Shozo Ohara. Shozo is furious that one of the many antique guns sitting on the table could have went off and Mitsuhiko could have been seriously hurt or even killed by accident. He demands to know why children are in his mansion, until Shozo’s wife, Suzue, carrying a pitcher of water, empty glass, and packet of medicine, enters and claims she invited them. Conan is left confused but Shozo stands firm on his stance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue asks her husband if he has taken his medication, to which he has not. Shozo tells his wife to leave the tray of glasses and medicine on the table. She does carefully next to one of the guns and tells him to not forget to take them. Shozo asks everyone to leave so he may tend to his work. As they leave, HK jumps at a reflection of herself in a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To ease the tension, Suzue has House Keeper give the children strawberry shortcake while Mitsuhiko excuses himself to the toilet. Ayumi questions Suzue why is their large mansion so dark, following up with a suggestion to open the window. Suzue gives a haunting grin and states that she is absolutely right: she loves bright spaces, but her husband despises them. Suddenly, a loud gunshot is heard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group springs into action, led by Conan to the source of the sound coming from the study room where Shozo was last seen. House Keeper confirms that the door is locked , prompting Conan to hop on Genta’s shoulders to peep though the window above the door. He discovers that Shozo has been shot to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is underway with Kogoro and Megure helming operations. Kogoro instantly recognizes Suzue as &#039;&#039;The Phantom Actress&#039;&#039;, who, at the height of her career and popularity, disappeared from the lens of the camera. Kogoro himself is a fan of Suzue’s career. The study is opened by Conan so the investigation may start.&lt;br /&gt;

While looking for potential suspects, they consider people who may have a grudge, but Suzue can’t think of anyone. Based on the scene, it appears that someone confronted Shozo and popped him on sight, dropped the gun, and fled. Megure questions Suzue, and she explains that she was eating cake with the children. House Keeper and the Detective Boys confirm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only person unaccounted for, who went to use the restroom, was Mitsuhiko, but the investigation team doesn’t bother making him a suspect. The skylight is impossible to pass through unless you are a child. Moreover, the&lt;br /&gt;
study door was locked by Shozo from the inside; entry inside to the study to reach Shozo is absolutely impossible. With every entry/exit point sealed away, Conan declares a perfectly locked room murder case.&lt;br /&gt;

A bloody Japanese hiragana character (光)”hikari, meaning “light”, is found near the body. Mitsuhiko finally returns from the bathroom. Kogoro sends him through believing he unknowingly activated a trick. Mitsuhiko struggles but manages to barely squeeze through. Genta and Ayumi ridicule Kogoro for not having the case solved already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notes a line of black substance near the upside down glass on the table and is zapped in the eye by a ray of sunlight. He measures and angles bullet holes in the wall. After everything has been examined, Conan understands the mystery of the Haunted Mansion and its Locked Room Scenario.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Conan catches Kogoro lacking and tranquilizes him, then immediately names Shozo’s wife, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mrs. Suzue Ohara&#039;&#039;&#039;, as the killer. First, Kogoro (actually Conan using his voice) apologizes to Mitsuhiko for forcing him through the tight space from earlier. Second, while true that she was indeed sitting amongst the children, Conan, and the House Keeper and eating some yummy cake, Suzue pulled off a near perfect murder and gave herself an ironclad alibi to look pristine and innocent in case any suspicious eyes fell upon her. As hard as this may sound, all that was needed was sunlight and water pitcher from earlier. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ray of sunlight shines down from the tilted down skylight to the titled window above the door, which then hits the water pitcher. That water pitcher will now act like a magnifying glass. If the pitcher is moved slightly closer to the gun, and the sun moves on its own which it does regularly, the ray of sunlight will enter the gun’s opening, ignite the gunpowder, and shoot Shozo; this is a perfectly executed plan only Suzue could pull off. A demonstration is created for visualization just as Conan described, and the ray of shiny sunlight shoots off a flintlock gun, firing a harmless blank. The only reason why Suzue allowed the children to stay in the mansion was so they could be witnesses to her crime and confirm that she was in another room when the gun went off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shozo, who was in this locked room of his own accord, grew suspicious of the burning smell produced by the beam of light. He turned around and was immediately shot. Ayumi correctly guesses that was the reason he wrote the 光 character in his blood to leave as a dying message as to what happened to him. Megure interjects and claims that while every described in this case is accurate and holds weight, including the determination of the gun being fired, everything will be looked at as an unfortunate coincidence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To seal Suzue for the murder of her husband, Conan notes that the position of the mirror had to be strategically shifted in order for the beam to trigger the antique gun. Only the lower part had to be moved; the dirty white wall behind it should be visible now. Ayumi again confirms that her reflection in the mirror was visible just moments ago, now it is not. The inside of the mansion is dark, so Suzue didn’t realized it yet but it makes no difference as now it is too late; Suzue’s hands are dirty because they are tainted with soot that covered the mirror after the gun was fired. She had to adjust the mirror back to its original position to tie up loose ends, or risk leaving them exposed so investigators would have pieced together the elements of her plan either here or the station, sooner or later. Speaking of soot, if a forensic examination reveals that the soot on Suzue’s hands matches the soot on the mirror and the profile of the antique flicklock gun, plus access and motive, there is no need to make any excuses; a conviction is highly likely.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue, after confirming her hands are indeed laced with soot, confesses and states that Shozo was in the way of her making a comeback into the movie industry. A quick look into Shozo’s diary and previous scripts show that Shozo actually loved his wife and saw the potential she had. He wanted her to continue her career, however, movie studios and producers wouldn’t touch any project given to them as long as Suzue was attached to it, as they viewed her as an old vessel. Finally, Shozo wrote a script and studios were prepared to pay millions if they could substitute Suzue. Producers were going for a younger actress with no acting experience or credentials to her name. He turned them down if Suzue wasn’t the lead actress, leading him to board up the windows of the mansion so Suzue wouldn’t be able to see her reflection in the windows and lose her ambitions. Shozo’s frustrations grew and in order to calm himself down, he put up pictures of Suzue in her younger days around the mansion as a constant reminder that the ambitious actress inside her, he still believes in, regardless of anyone’s opinions. Suzue wanted to reclaim the fame and fortune she once had from an industry that has long discarded her. Nevertheless, She took the life of her biggest supporter in an incredibly sad, senseless murder that didn’t need to happen, and she must live with that for the rest of her life—behind bars. An emotionally devastated Suzue is escorted out of the mansion by Inspector Meguire’s men; her handcuffed hands covering her tear-drawn face as the House Keeper, with the Detective Boys in tow, watches in sadness. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, having woken up unexpectedly, takes full credit despite not being able to recall any moments during the resolution. He remembers a few movies of Suzue, noting how she was the number one star back in her day, and the sadness and regret that will come to her. He is happy that at least she has been brought back to reality.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Haunted Mansion Murder Case ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 10 === &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking advantage of the calm sunny day, Conan and the Detective Boys are playing soccer in the neighborhood. Genta kicks the ball a little harder than intended, sending it over a bricked fence of a massive eerie mansion. A mysterious figure peers at the kids from a top window, sending chills down their spines. The figure, only known as House Keeper (nameless in the story, but named for plot identification purposes), turns out to be harmless and comes down the stairs to greet the children outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
House Keeper invites the children inside and gives them a tour of the premises where Ayumi notices a picture of who she believes is the House Keeper in her youth. Out of nowhere, Mitsuhiko is shouted at. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone rushes over to find Mitsuhiko inside a brightly lit study room with the mansion owner, Shozo Ohara. Shozo is furious that one of the many antique guns sitting on the table could have went off and Mitsuhiko could have been seriously hurt or even killed by accident. He demands to know why children are in his mansion, until Shozo’s wife, Suzue, carrying a pitcher of water, empty glass, and packet of medicine, enters and claims she invited them. Conan is left confused but Shozo stands firm on his stance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue asks her husband if he has taken his medication, to which he has not. Shozo tells his wife to leave the tray of glasses and medicine on the table. She does carefully next to one of the guns and tells him to not forget to take them. Shozo asks everyone to leave so he may tend to his work. As they leave, HK jumps at a reflection of herself in a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To ease the tension, Suzue has House Keeper give the children strawberry shortcake while Mitsuhiko excuses himself to the toilet. Ayumi questions Suzue why is their large mansion so dark, following up with a suggestion to open the window. Suzue gives a haunting grin and states that she is absolutely right: she loves bright spaces, but her husband despises them. Suddenly, a loud gunshot is heard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group springs into action, led by Conan to the source of the sound coming from the study room where Shozo was last seen. House Keeper confirms that the door is locked , prompting Conan to hop on Genta’s shoulders to peep though the window above the door. He discovers that Shozo has been shot to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is underway with Kogoro and Megure helming operations. Kogoro instantly recognizes Suzue as &#039;&#039;The Phantom Actress&#039;&#039;, who, at the height of her career and popularity, disappeared from the lens of the camera. Kogoro himself is a fan of Suzue’s career. The study is opened by Conan so the investigation may start.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notices the gun used in the death is still at the scene. The bullet that killed Shozo is in the wall. While looking for potential suspects, they consider people who may have a grudge, but Suzue can’t think of anyone. Based on the scene, it appears that someone confronted Shozo and popped him on sight, dropped the gun, and fled. Megure questions Suzue, and she explains that she was eating cake with the children. House Keeper and the Detective Boys confirm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only person unaccounted for, who went to use the restroom, was Mitsuhiko, but the investigation team doesn’t bother making him a suspect. The skylight is impossible to pass through unless you are a child. Moreover, the&lt;br /&gt;
study door was locked by Shozo from the inside; entry inside to the study to reach Shozo is absolutely impossible. With every entry/exit point sealed away, Conan declares a perfectly locked room murder case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks at the gun and notices the hammer is still up. Under normal conditions, once a gun is fired, the hammer closes. A bloody Japanese hiragana character (光)”hikari, meaning “light”, is found near the body. Mitsuhiko finally returns from the bathroom. Kogoro sends him through believing he unknowingly activated a trick. Mitsuhiko struggles but manages to barely squeeze through. Genta and Ayumi ridicule Kogoro for not having the case solved already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notes a line of black substance near the upside down glass on the table and is zapped in the eye by a ray of sunlight. He measures and angles bullet holes in the wall. After everything has been examined, Conan understands the mystery of the Haunted Mansion and its Locked Room Scenario.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Conan catches Kogoro lacking and tranquilizes him, then immediately names Shozo’s wife, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mrs. Suzue Ohara&#039;&#039;&#039;, as the killer. First, Kogoro (actually Conan using his voice) apologizes to Mitsuhiko for forcing him through the tight space from earlier. Second, while true that she was indeed sitting amongst the children, Conan, and the House Keeper and eating some yummy cake, Suzue pulled off a near perfect murder and gave herself an ironclad alibi to look pristine and innocent in case any suspicious eyes fell upon her. As hard as this may sound, all that was needed was sunlight and water pitcher from earlier. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ray of sunlight shines down from the tilted down skylight to the titled window above the door, which then hits the water pitcher. That water pitcher will now act like a magnifying glass. If the pitcher is moved slightly closer to the gun, and the sun moves on its own which it does regularly, the ray of sunlight will enter the gun’s opening, ignite the gunpowder, and shoot Shozo; this is a perfectly executed plan only Suzue could pull off. A demonstration is created for visualization just as Conan described, and the ray of shiny sunlight shoots off a flintlock gun, firing a harmless blank. The only reason why Suzue allowed the children to stay in the mansion was so they could be witnesses to her crime and confirm that she was in another room when the gun went off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shozo, who was in this locked room of his own accord, grew suspicious of the burning smell produced by the beam of light. He turned around and was immediately shot. Ayumi correctly guesses that was the reason he wrote the 光 character in his blood to leave as a dying message as to what happened to him. Megure interjects and claims that while every described in this case is accurate and holds weight, including the determination of the gun being fired, everything will be looked at as an unfortunate coincidence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To seal Suzue for the murder of her husband, Conan notes that the position of the mirror had to be strategically shifted in order for the beam to trigger the antique gun. Only the lower part had to be moved; the dirty white wall behind it should be visible now. Ayumi again confirms that her reflection in the mirror was visible just moments ago, now it is not. The inside of the mansion is dark, so Suzue didn’t realized it yet but it makes no difference as now it is too late; Suzue’s hands are dirty because they are tainted with soot that covered the mirror after the gun was fired. She had to adjust the mirror back to its original position to tie up loose ends, or risk leaving them exposed so investigators would have pieced together the elements of her plan either here or the station, sooner or later. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue, after confirming her hands are indeed laced with soot, confesses and states that Shozo was in the way of her making a comeback into the movie industry. A quick look into Shozo’s diary and previous scripts show that Shozo actually loved his wife and saw the potential she had. He wanted her to continue her career, however, movie studios and producers wouldn’t touch any project given to them as long as Suzue was attached to it, as they viewed her as an old vessel. Finally, Shozo wrote a script and studios were prepared to pay millions if they could substitute Suzue. Producers were going for a younger actress with no acting experience or credentials to her name. He turned them down if Suzue wasn’t the lead actress, leading him to board up the windows of the mansion so Suzue wouldn’t be able to see her reflection in the windows and lose her ambitions. Shozo’s frustrations grew and in order to calm himself down, he put up pictures of Suzue in her younger days around the mansion as a constant reminder that the ambitious actress inside her, he still believes in, regardless of anyone’s opinions. Suzue wanted to reclaim the fame and fortune she once had from an industry that has long discarded her.

An emotionally devastated Suzue is escorted out of the mansion by Inspector Meguire’s men; her handcuffed hands covering her tear-drawn face as the House Keeper, with the Detective Boys in tow, watches in sadness. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, having woken up unexpectedly, takes full credit despite not being able to recall any moments during the resolution. He remembers a few movies of Suzue, noting how she was the number one star back in her day, and the sadness and regret that will come to her. He is happy that at least she has been brought back to reality.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Haunted Mansion Murder Case ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 10 === &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking advantage of the calm sunny day, Conan and the Detective Boys are playing soccer in the neighborhood. Genta kicks the ball a little harder than intended, sending it over a bricked fence of a massive eerie mansion. A mysterious figure peers at the kids from a top window, sending chills down their spines. The figure, only known as House Keeper (nameless in the story, but named for plot identification purposes), turns out to be harmless and comes down the stairs to greet the children outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
House Keeper invites the children inside and gives them a tour of the premises where Ayumi notices a picture of who she believes is the House Keeper in her youth. Out of nowhere, Mitsuhiko is shouted at. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone rushes over to find Mitsuhiko inside a brightly lit study room with the mansion owner, Shozo Ohara. Shozo is furious that one of the many antique guns sitting on the table could have went off and Mitsuhiko could have been seriously hurt or even killed by accident. He demands to know why children are in his mansion, until Shozo’s wife, Suzue, carrying a pitcher of water, empty glass, and packet of medicine, enters and claims she invited them. Conan is left confused but Shozo stands firm on his stance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue asks her husband if he has taken his medication, to which he has not. Shozo tells his wife to leave the tray of glasses and medicine on the table. She does carefully next to one of the guns and tells him to not forget to take them. Shozo asks everyone to leave so he may tend to his work. As they leave, HK jumps at a reflection of herself in a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To ease the tension, Suzue has House Keeper give the children strawberry shortcake while Mitsuhiko excuses himself to the toilet. Ayumi questions Suzue why is their large mansion so dark, following up with a suggestion to open the window. Suzue gives a haunting grin and states that she is absolutely right: she loves bright spaces, but her husband despises them. Suddenly, a loud gunshot is heard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group springs into action, led by Conan to the source of the sound coming from the study room where Shozo was last seen. House Keeper confirms that the door is locked , prompting Conan to hop on Genta’s shoulders to peep though the window above the door. He discovers that Shozo has been shot to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is underway with Kogoro and Megure helming operations. Kogoro instantly recognizes Suzue as &#039;&#039;The Phantom Actress&#039;&#039;, who, at the height of her career and popularity, disappeared from the lens of the camera. Kogoro himself is a fan of Suzue’s career. The study is opened by Conan so the investigation may start.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notices the gun used in the death is still at the scene. The bullet that killed Shozo is in the wall. While looking for potential suspects, they consider people who may have a grudge, but Suzue can’t think of anyone. Based on the scene, it appears that someone confronted Shozo and popped him on sight, dropped the gun, and fled. Megure questions Suzue, and she explains that she was eating cake with the children. House Keeper and the Detective Boys confirm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only person unaccounted for, who went to use the restroom, was Mitsuhiko, but the investigation team doesn’t bother making him a suspect. The skylight is impossible to pass through unless you are a child. Moreover, the&lt;br /&gt;
study door was locked by Shozo from the inside; entry inside to the study to reach Shozo is absolutely impossible. With every entry/exit point sealed away, Conan declares a perfectly locked room murder case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks at the gun and notices the hammer is still up. Under normal conditions, once a gun is fired, the hammer closes. A bloody Japanese hiragana character (光)”hikari, meaning “light”, is found near the body. Mitsuhiko finally returns from the bathroom. Kogoro sends him through believing he unknowingly activated a trick. Mitsuhiko struggles but manages to barely squeeze through. Genta and Ayumi ridicule Kogoro for not having the case solved already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notes a line of black substance near the upside down glass on the table and is zapped in the eye by a ray of sunlight. He measures and angles bullet holes in the wall. After everything has been examined, Conan understands the mystery of the Haunted Mansion and its Locked Room Scenario.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Conan catches Kogoro lacking and tranquilizes him, then immediately names Shozo’s wife, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mrs. Suzue Ohara&#039;&#039;&#039;, as the killer. First, Kogoro (actually Conan using his voice) apologizes to Mitsuhiko for forcing him through the tight space from earlier. Second, while true that she was indeed sitting amongst the children, Conan, and the House Keeper and eating some yummy cake, Suzue pulled off a near perfect murder and gave herself an ironclad alibi to look pristine and innocent in case any suspicious eyes fell upon her. As hard as this may sound, all that was needed was sunlight and water pitcher from earlier. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ray of sunlight shines down from the tilted down skylight to the titled window above the door, which then hits the water pitcher. That water pitcher will now act like a magnifying glass. If the pitcher is moved slightly closer to the gun, and the sun moves on its own which it does regularly, the ray of sunlight will enter the gun’s opening, ignite the gunpowder, and shoot Shozo; this is a perfectly executed plan only Suzue could pull off. A demonstration is created for visualization just as Conan described, and the ray of shiny sunlight shoots off a flintlock gun, firing a harmless blank. The only reason why Suzue allowed the children to stay in the mansion was so they could be witnesses to her crime and confirm that she was in another room when the gun went off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shozo, who was in this locked room of his own accord, grew suspicious of the burning smell produced by the beam of light. He turned around and was immediately shot. Ayumi correctly guesses that was the reason he wrote the 光 character in his blood to leave as a dying message as to what happened to him. Megure interjects and claims that while every described in this case is accurate and holds weight, including the determination of the gun being fired, everything will be looked at as an unfortunate coincidence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To seal Suzue for the murder of her husband, Conan notes that the position of the mirror had to be strategically shifted in order for the beam to trigger the antique gun. Only the lower part had to be moved; the dirty white wall behind it should be visible now. Ayumi again confirms that her reflection in the mirror was visible just moments ago, now it is not. The inside of the mansion is dark, so Suzue didn’t realized it yet but it makes no difference as now it is too late; Suzue’s hands are dirty because they are tainted with soot that covered the mirror after the gun was fired. She had to adjust the mirror back to its original position to tie up loose ends, or risk leaving them exposed so investigators would have pieced together the elements of her plan either here or the station, sooner or later. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue, after confirming her hands are indeed laced with soot, confesses and states that Shozo was in the way of her making a comeback into the movie industry. A quick look into Shozo’s diary and previous scripts show that Shozo actually loved his wife and saw the potential she had. He wanted her to continue her career, however, movie studios and producers wouldn’t touch any project given to them as long as Suzue was attached to it, as they viewed her as an old vessel. Finally, Shozo wrote a script and studios were prepared to pay millions if they could substitute Suzue. Producers were going for a younger actress with no acting experience or credentials to her name. He turned them down if Suzue wasn’t the lead actress, leading him to board up the windows of the mansion so Suzue wouldn’t be able to see her reflection in the windows and lose her ambitions. Shozo’s frustrations grew and in order to calm himself down, he put up pictures of Suzue in her younger days around the mansion as a constant reminder that the ambitious actress inside her, he still believes in, regardless of anyone’s opinions. Suzue wanted to reclaim the fame and fortune she once had from an industry that has long discarded her. Nevertheless, She took the life of her biggest supporter in an incredibly sad, senseless murder that didn’t need to happen, and she must live with that for the rest of her life—behind bars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, having woken up unexpectedly, takes full credit despite not being able to recall any moments during the resolution. He remembers a few movies of Suzue, noting how she was the number one star back in her day, and the sadness and regret that will come to her. He is happy that at least she has been brought back to reality.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

== The Haunted Mansion Murder Case ==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 10 === &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Taking advantage of the calm sunny day, Conan and the Detective Boys are playing soccer in the neighborhood. Genta kicks the ball a little harder than intended, sending it over a bricked fence of a massive eerie mansion. A mysterious figure peers at the kids from a top window, sending chills down their spines. The figure, only known as House Keeper (nameless in the story, but named for plot identification purposes), turns out to be harmless and comes down the stairs to greet the children outside.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
House Keeper invites the children inside and gives them a tour of the premises where Ayumi notices a picture of who she believes is the House Keeper in her youth. Out of nowhere, Mitsuhiko is shouted at. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone rushes over to find Mitsuhiko inside a brightly lit study room with the mansion owner, Shozo Ohara. Shozo is furious that one of the many antique guns sitting on the table could have went off and Mitsuhiko could have been seriously hurt or even killed by accident. He demands to know why children are in his mansion, until Shozo’s wife, Suzue, carrying a pitcher of water, empty glass, and packet of medicine, enters and claims she invited them. Conan is left confused but Shozo stands firm on his stance. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue asks her husband if he has taken his medication, to which he has not. Shozo tells his wife to leave the tray of glasses and medicine on the table. She does carefully next to one of the guns and tells him to not forget to take them. Shozo asks everyone to leave so he may tend to his work. As they leave, HK jumps at a reflection of herself in a mirror.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To ease the tension, Suzue has House Keeper give the children strawberry shortcake while Mitsuhiko excuses himself to the toilet. Ayumi questions Suzue why is their large mansion so dark, following up with a suggestion to open the window. Suzue gives a haunting grin and states that she is absolutely right: she loves bright spaces, but her husband despises them. Suddenly, a loud gunshot is heard.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group springs into action, led by Conan to the source of the sound coming from the study room where Shozo was last seen. House Keeper confirms that the door is locked , prompting Conan to hop on Genta’s shoulders to peep though the window above the door. He discovers that Shozo has been shot to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is underway with Kogoro and Megure helming operations. Kogoro instantly recognizes Suzue as &#039;&#039;The Phantom Actress&#039;&#039;, who, at the height of her career and popularity, disappeared from the lens of the camera. Kogoro himself is a fan of Suzue’s career. The study is opened by Conan so the investigation may start.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notices the gun used in the death is still at the scene. The bullet that killed Shozo is in the wall. While looking for potential suspects, they consider people who may have a grudge, but Suzue can’t think of anyone. Based on the scene, it appears that someone confronted Shozo and popped him on sight, dropped the gun, and fled. Megure questions Suzue, and she explains that she was eating cake with the children. House Keeper and the Detective Boys confirm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only person unaccounted for, who went to use the restroom, was Mitsuhiko, but the investigation team doesn’t bother making him a suspect. The skylight is impossible to pass through unless you are a child. Moreover, the&lt;br /&gt;
study door was locked by Shozo from the inside; entry inside to the study to reach Shozo is absolutely impossible. With every entry/exit point sealed away, Conan declares a perfectly locked room murder case.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks at the gun and notices the hammer is still up. Under normal conditions, once a gun is fired, the hammer closes. A bloody Japanese hiragana character (光)”hikari, meaning “light”, is found near the body. Mitsuhiko finally returns from the bathroom. Kogoro sends him through believing he unknowingly activated a trick. Mitsuhiko struggles but manages to barely squeeze through. Genta and Ayumi ridicule Kogoro for not having the case solved already.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan notes a line of black substance near the upside down glass on the table and is zapped in the eye by a ray of sunlight. He measures and angles bullet holes in the wall. After everything has been examined, Conan understands the mystery of the Haunted Mansion and its Locked Room Scenario.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Conan catches Kogoro lacking and tranquilizes him, then immediately names Shozo’s wife, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mrs. Suzue Ohara&#039;&#039;&#039;, as the killer. While true that she was indeed sitting amongst the children, Conan, and the House Keeper and eating some yummy cake, Suzue pulled off a near perfect murder and gave herself an ironclad alibi to look pristine and innocent in case any suspicious eyes fell upon her. As hard as this may sound, all that was needed was sunlight and water pitcher from earlier. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A ray of sunlight shines down from the tilted down skylight to the titled window above the door, which then hits the water pitcher. That water pitcher will now act like a magnifying glass. If the pitcher is moved slightly closer to the gun, and the sun moves on its own which it does regularly, the ray of sunlight will enter the gun’s opening, ignite the gunpowder, and shoot Shozo; this is a perfectly executed plan only Suzue could pull off. The only reason why Suzue allowed the children to stay in the mansion was so they could be witnesses to her crime and confirm that she was in another room when the gun went off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shozo, who was in this locked room of his own accord, grew suspicious of the burning smell produced by the beam of light. He turned around and was immediately shot. Ayumi correctly guesses that was the reason he wrote the 光 character in his blood to leave as a dying message as to what happened to him. Megure interjects and claims that while every described in this case is accurate and holds weight, including the determination of the gun being fired, everything will be looked at as an unfortunate coincidence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To seal Suzue for the murder of her husband, Conan notes that the position of the mirror had to be strategically shifted in order for the beam to trigger the antique gun. Only the lower part had to be moved; the dirty white wall behind it should be visible now. Ayumi again confirms that her reflection in the mirror was visible just moments ago, now it is not. The inside of the mansion is dark, so Suzue didn’t realized it yet but it makes no difference as now it is too late; Suzue’s hands are dirty because they are tainted with soot that covered the mirror after the gun was fired. She had to adjust the mirror back to its original position to tie up loose ends, or risk leaving them exposed so investigators would have pieced together the elements of her plan either here or the station, sooner or later. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suzue, after confirming her hands are indeed laced with soot, confesses and states that Shozo was in the way of her making a comeback into the movie industry. A quick look into Shozo’s diary and previous scripts show that Shozo actually loved his wife and saw the potential she had. He wanted her to continue her career, however, movie studios and producers wouldn’t touch any project given to them as long as Suzue was attached to it, as they viewed her as an old vessel. Finally, Shozo wrote a script and studios were prepared to pay millions if they could substitute Suzue. Producers were going for a younger actress with no acting experience or credentials to her name. He turned them down if Suzue wasn’t the lead actress, leading him to board up the windows of the mansion so Suzue wouldn’t be able to see her reflection in the windows and lose her ambitions. Shozo’s frustrations grew and in order to calm himself down, he put up pictures of Suzue in her younger days around the mansion as a constant reminder that the ambitious actress inside her, he still believes in, regardless of anyone’s opinions. Nevertheless, Suzue took the life of her biggest supporter in a senseless murder that didn’t need to happen, and she must live with that for the rest of her life—behind bars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, having woken up unexpectedly, takes full credit despite not being able to recall any moments during the resolution. He remembers a few movies of Suzue, noting how she was the number one star back in her day, and the sadness and regret that will come to her. He is happy that at least she has been brought back to reality.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Intense Cold World of Murder ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan and the Detective Boys, accompanied by their teacher Ms. Koyabashi, are on a school field trip to a food factory. Disinterested, Conan listens to the Japan-Brazil soccer game on his MP3 player which is confiscated by Koyabashi. They are given a tour of the facility by employees Kashiwa and Minamoto. Minamoto abruptly leaves, forcing Kashiwa to handle the tour on her own. Before he departs, Kashiwa gives him a brown paper bag, reminding Minamoto of “that thing” they talked about yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kids are shown a movie about the factory and tour goes well and ends. Conan sneaks off to the employee lounge to watch the last minutes of the soccer game but is caught by Kashiwa. She reprimands Conan for sneaking off on his own. Conan is upset that he can’t watch the game but Kashiwa informs him that the game is over and the Brazilian team won, 3-1. An hour after the tour, and as promised for being good students, Kashiwa gives the kids ice cream. While the loud energetic children enjoy their ice cream, Kashiwa presents a small demonstration using the factory’s large walk-in freezer using another banana. She opens the door of the large walk-in freezer and, to her and the kids’ shock and horror, discover Minamoto on the floor, face up, frozen to death.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched. The exact cause of Minamoto’s death is uncertain as well as his accurate time of death due to the extreme cold conditions, but indicators point to hypothermia as he was froze solid. Minamoto was last seen alive and well at 10AM, which is the time where the tour had begun. As far as hypothermia goes, it is an involuntary drop in core body temperature that occurs during long exposure to extreme cold temperatures. Death varies due to a number of factors depending on the individual. Bright red lividy marks are found at the nape of Minamoto’s neck. The banana Kashiwa gave Minamoto before he left is found near his corpse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is determined that Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put the banana away, but everyone assumes Minamoto slipped and was stuck to the floor, until Conan discovers a pack of broken rice crackers in the victim’s chest pocket. With the given circumstances, Conan believes that someone knocked Minamoto unconscious, causing him to fall facing the front thereby breaking the rice crackers, then turned him on his back to alter the crime scene. While Kashiwa tearfully blames herself for what has happened, Conan fearfully believes that Minamoto has been murdered, and his killer went out of their way to stage it as an accident. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The security guards say no one out of the ordinary in the vicinity of the factory was seen with the exception of Conan, the Detective Boys (who are of no use in this case due to their separation from Conan), their classmates, and Ms. Koyabashi, effectively ruling out the possibility of an outsider job. Kashiwa’s weird behavior lands her on Conan’s suspect list. Furthermore, is it virtually above possible means for anyone to freeze a human body very quickly, even at -60 degrees, but one matter remains: if Kashiwa is the killer, how was she able to freeze a human being with so quickly while being surrounded with children the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a brief encounter with the factory’s owner and maid. The owner says that Minamoto had been reprimanded for slacking off at work and was on the verge of being fired for taking long excessive breaks in the lounge and bathroom. Cell phones and other electronic devices are prohibited during work hours to improve safety. After wrapping up with the boss, Conan hides from Ms. Koyabashi inside the factory’s kitchenette. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Curious, Conan looks inside the trash bin and comes across rice cracker wrappers and cola cans. The maid says Minamoto used to eat his favorite snacks which included rice crackers and a can of cola which was thrown in the garbage. She remembers Minamoto grabbing a few snacks at the beginning of the shift, but strangely enough, she believes someone else threw them in the garbage because Minamoto would have eaten all his snacks and not throw them in the garbage so hastily. After realizing Minamoto was a soccer fan, Conan understands the truth behind his death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Due to the incompetence of the local police, Conan takes matters into his own hands and solves the case. The key factor in solving this crime is to retrace and analyze the victim’s movements, work ethics, and final moments that directly led to his death. Without Kogoro or Sonoko to impersonate, or the Detective Boys to help assist, Conan goes directly for the jugular vein and handles the details of the case himself in front of everyone. Minamoto’s passing was NOT the result of a tragic workplace accident, but instead a cruel malicious murder; the culprit is his coworker, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kashiwa&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Initial Setup and Pretext Facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put inside the brown paper bag containing a banana. This was nothing more than pretext, as she needed the children she was guiding to confirm that Minamoto went into the freezer acting under a harmless favor and giving him a legitimate reason for being in there in the first place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Deadly Assault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, during her break, Kashiwa went straight to the walk-in freezer (which is where Minamoto had been at slacking off on the job), and bashed the unsuspecting Minamoto in the back of his neck near his skull with a metal cylinder, causing the rice crackers in his chest pocket to crush as he fell forward from the unprovoked assault (the bright pink mark started to form thereafter and was found on his neck from this attack). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Kill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Kashiwa proceeded to open the same cylinder, turned the still-alive but unconscious Minamoto on his back, oblivious to the rice crackers in his chest pocket, then dumped &#039;&#039;liquid nitrogen&#039;&#039; all over Minamoto‘s body, effectively freezing and killing him in a sheet of ice. The duration of the murder lasted no more than 10 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Explaination of the real murder weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic liquified gas capable of freezing human flesh almost instantly upon contact. It is a hazardous material commonly found in food factories, hospitals, and construction sites and it is primarily used for flash-freezing, food preservation, packaging, medical uses, freezing pipes, among other things. It is incredibly cold at -196 degrees Celsius, or -321 degrees Fahrenheit, and must be handled with care at all times. That was Kashiwa’s murder weapon, not the freezer itself. Liquid nitrogen expands rapidly into nitrogen gas as it warms up. If one pours enough liquid nitrogen into a sealed room to freeze a person, the gas would instantly displace all the oxygen. Even if Minamoto survived the initial freeze because of the Leidenfrost Effect, the victim would lose consciousness within seconds and die of asphyxiation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Counterintuitively, pouring liquid nitrogen onto someone who is wearing clothes is vastly more dangerous than pouring it on someone who is naked. Standard fabrics (like a cotton shirt, jeans, or cloth gloves) will instantly absorb and trap the liquid nitrogen. This holds the cryogenic liquid tightly against the skin, bypassing the Leidenfrost effect completely and causing immediate, catastrophic freezing that can require surgical amputation. Liquid nitrogen isn’t hard for Kashiwa to obtain considering the murder taking place at a food factory where it is commonly found. Kashiwa denies having any involvement in Minamoto’s murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cover-Up and Grim Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Committing the crime this way, Kashiwa made it appear that Minamoto accidentally slipped in the freezer and was there for hours. Under natural circumstances, a healthy fit human being would take anywhere between 10 minutes to just about several hours to completely freeze solid. This would undoubtedly give Kashiwa the perfect alibi as she was hoping the investigators would write off his death as a tragic accident. In reality, he was brutally murdered just minutes before the discovery of his corpse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Victim’s Habits and Miscellaneous History &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minamoto was a well-known slacker at work and often left Kashiwa to handle his duties, as such at the beginning of the tour. Kashiwa most likely told their boss that she would get him to cooperate. This is evidenced by Minamoto’s boss who had threatened termination because of his work ethics. Had Minamoto been caught inside the freezer by another random coworker, he could easily state that he was doing that favor for Kashiwa with the banana, and her plan would remain intact. Minamoto had rice crackers and cola inside the freezer and had consumed most of them. The rest were discarded by Kashiwa after she brutally murdered him to remove any trace of his laziness. The maid testifies to this as she has witnessed him indulging on his favorite snacks during work hours on multiple occasions; Minamoto would not have thrown his snacks away so easily. His reason for leaving so abruptly was because he was in a rush to watch the soccer game. Kashiwa told him that the best hiding place was the freezing unit. She would then betray Minamoto, using his laziness against him, and carry out her gruesome crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Final Whistle &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa angrily denies the allegations again made against her and ridicules the police for listening to Conan. As evidence of her crime, Conan testifies that during the encounter he had with Kashiwa while at the employee lounge, she had told him that the soccer game was over and Brazil won 3-1. In addition to witnessing Minamoto eating his favorite snacks during work hours, the maid also testifies and confirms that Minamoto was a soccer fanatic. The reason why this is extraordinarily important is because there is no way Kashiwa should have known about the final score of the soccer game considering she was in the middle of a tour. The soccer game started at 10:00AM, and ended around 11:45. This is usually the time that the final score of the game is announced along with the winner. That being said, the only way Kashiwa could have known ANYTHING regarding the soccer game is if she was in close proximity of someone who was listening to the details, who should have been working but instead decided to slack off and listen to the soccer game in the freezer.  She overheard the details of the game, then she ended Minamoto’s life in the manner described above. This is undeniable concrete evidence placing Kashiwa nowhere else in the factory but in the freezer with Minamoto. In an ironic twist of poetic justice, it is Minamoto’s own slacker lifestyle and passion for soccer that became Kashiwa’s downfall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Killer’s Confession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa, upon realizing her undoing, confesses to Minamoto’s murder. She states that she had a rough life, her parents divorced when she was young, and began getting in more trouble than the law could allow. Kashiwa says she became rebellious and started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Eventually, she got tangled up with Minamoto, who Kashiwa claims was a terrible person, but to which degree is up for interpretation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The End of an Ordeal and Final Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she regrets killing Minamoto and is ashamed that she was caught, Kashiwa states that Conan saw through everything and has a moment of deep relief. Kashiwa falls to her knees, defeated, and hugs a confused Conan tightly. She states that Conan is no regular child, that he saw through everything, and blew the metaphorical whistle on her. Kashiwa says that next time, she’ll stand guard at the goal post. Tears flow down Kashiwa’s face as she is arrested for murder.&lt;br /&gt;

== Famous Detective VS The Perfect Crime ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Kogoro, and Conan are enjoying their time viewing cherry blossoms. Kogoro claims himself to be a master detective and his deductions can cut through any deception thrown his way. Their evening is interrupted when they come across Mr. Mita, a man who proclaims that the perfect crime is possible, then goes on to say that he could pull it off. This disturbs Kogoro, Conan, Mr. Mita’s coworkers, and everyone else within earshot. His boss and the only man capable of putting an end to his shenanigans, Ariyuki Kashima, is laid out and drunk past the point of no return, having consumed massive amounts of alcohol. Conan states that the perfect crime is useless when there is a detective on the scene. Mita proclaims that it was only a joke to see how Kogoro would react. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To soothe the situation, Mita puts on a pair of black leather gloves and pours everyone another round of drinks. The garbage bin is filled to the brim with trash and Kogoro suggests just leaving the trash there, but Ran objects and decides to take their empty cans home to dispose of properly. Mita takes Ariyuki home in a cab. Conan notices that Ariyuki dropped his wallet and goes to return it, but Mita and Ariyuki have already left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving at Ariyuki’s condo, Mita reveals that he actually intends on committing the perfect crime and his selected victim is the unfortunate Ariyuki. The drunk Ariyuki is led to his condo and dragged to the back and inside a sauna room. Mita puts on the same pair of leather gloves from the cherry blossom function, strips Ariyuki of his clothing, even his boxer briefs, prompts him onto the wooden seat, and sets the sauna to its highest temperature possible. Before leaving, Mita forges a note and leaves the condo key in the mailbox. Mita looks back and up at Ariyuki’s condo from outside with complete arrogance and over confidence, showing no remorse and pure excitement for tomorrow’s events. In probably the most unsettling display of zero empathy or a shred of remorse, the intellectual terrifying Mita sings in absolute bliss outside Ariyuki’s condominium complex. Mita finishes his creepy musical number and walks away, hands in pocket, fading into the darkness, as Ariyuki himself dies a slow brutal death inside his sauna.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, Mita returns to Ariyuki to act surprise and concerned for his boss. To his actual dismay and genuine shock, he sees Conan making an appearance as he wants to return Ariyuki’s wallet that he dropped yesterday at the function. Mita has the building owner open the door, claiming he left important documents inside and that Ariyuki himself isn’t opening the door and not answering any calls, fearing for the worst. Once inside, they locate the note and key in the mail slot, but Conan detects a foul odor in the air coming from the back of the condo. He rushes through the condo and inside of the sauna, finds Ariyuki’s corpse, covered in gruesome burns all over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Coroner’s Office arrives on the scene and launches an investigation into Ariyuki’s death. Based on the condition of the body, it appears if he had fallen asleep in his sauna and was burned to death after he had drunk large amounts of alcohol prior at the previous function. There are no physical injuries or wounds to suggest a confrontation or struggle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks around and finds nothing out of the ordinary in various parts of the victim’s condo: the kitchen, bathroom, and trash. During his search for clues, he has an unsettling feeling of how Mita was just telling a group of people a horrific story about committing the perfect crime and yet he is at the scene of a crime of his late boss. Conan can not yet confirm if foul play is involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giving the circumstances of this case and manner of death, the dispatch of the police is left at the discretion of the medical examiner. There is nothing suspicious about Ariyuki’s corpse. The medical examiner will assume he got home after drinking with his employees, went into the sauna, fell asleep, and was burnt all over his body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, the manner of death makes perfect sense. An autopsy investigator would have no doubts. They would see Ariyuki’s death and rule it an unfortunate accident, submit the documents, all would be forgotten, and the case would be over. Conan replays the voice of Mita in his head where he asks Kogoro if the perfect crime is impossible, claiming he feels he can do it. With virtually no clue or evidence to be found, Conan wonders if Ariyuki Kashima’s gruesome death is the result of a gross accident, or if really a murder, how can it be proven?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan continues to apply pressure to Mr Mita who he believes to have viciously murdered his employer, Ariyuki Kashima. Mita is on Ariyuki’s computer, apparently deleting files. Conan tricks Mita into leaving the computer to search for a phone in Ariyuki’s coat pocket. When he returns, Mita, developing a dark demeanor, menacingly asks Conan on his actions. Conan does not back down and voices his theory: Ariyuki Kashima may have been murdered. This locks Conan and Mita into an intense psychological battle of cat-and-mouse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan does not denounce the facts that Ariyuki was indeed drunk to the point where he needed support from others. It is just odd that he would strip from his clothing, go into the sauna, and fall asleep. Ariyuki wasn’t force to drink massive amounts of alcohol against his will. He wasn’t attacked as there were no bruises, cuts, or abrasions on his physical body with the exception of the fatal burns. Suspicious enough, Ariyuki’s cell phone wasn’t nearby, despite being home. Most people would keep their cell phones nearby in case of work, an emergency, or a need to call for help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita has once stated that the perfect crime was possible but he counters saying that stating something isn’t the same as doing it. Conan adds that Ariyuki came home but didn’t drink any water, a move most drunk people do in an attempt to sober up. There was no signs of any movement inside the kitchen, refrigerator, or trash bin to indicate that Ariyuki consumed any beverage before he was killed. Mita feels Conan’s growing confidence and begins to appreciate the challenge Conan brings to the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan begins to understand Mita on what he meant by “the perfect crime.” The key points he was talking about were: one, meeting the victim, two, using what is available at home, and in Mr. Kashima’s case, a sauna, third, never use force to minimize leaving unnecessary clues behind. Even if these fail, wait for the next opportunity. When all conditions are met, everything will be examined and ruled an accident. Another point given if one looks at it from a different perspective and realize that alcohol is the most dangerous poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alcohol, sometimes referred by its scientific name ethanol, is a psychoactive drug and central nervous system (CNS) depressant, decreasing electrical activity of neurons in the brain. It is the second most consumed psychoactive drug globally behind caffeine, and alcohol use disorders are the most prevalent of all substance use disorders worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies alcohol as a toxic, psychoactive, dependence-producing, and carcinogenic substance. Drinking alcohol reduces alertness, awareness, among other things. Excessive drinking can lead to cancer, liver and heart diseases, mental issues, and even death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Kashima was not forced to drink, he did it on his own accord. He was brought back home drunk out of his mind, stripped of his clothing, placed into the lethally hot sauna without resistance, and was killed. Doing it this way, it reduces the risks of leaving evidence behind, and if a murder attempt goes awry, alcohol will take the blame and the case comes to an end. Conan believes that all of Mita’s horrific crimes have gone off without a hitch and evidence to be found. If the investigation continues at this rate, Mita, with all his flawless calculations, may walk free with the ultimate victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The landlord walks up and asks for Conan and Mita to leave, but Conan isn’t ready yet. When Conan considers if Mita could have removed fingerprints and remembers that he was wearing gloves, he has a stark revelation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Mita is on the phone with a friend planning to go to Italy during Golden Week when there is a ring at his front door. He opens to see Detective Harry Takagi who wishes to talk more about Kashima and his death. Though caught off guard, Mita gives an evil grin, proclaiming to himself how his best performance will prevail and get him off the hook. Conan is besides Takagi, also smiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; If it was any doubts in anyone’s mind about anything regarding this gross murder case, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mita&#039;&#039;&#039; did indeed murder his boss, Ariyuki Kashima, but how his so-called perfect crime will begin crumbling before his very eyes at the hands of Conan (whom Mita has greatly underestimated up until this point) and how Mita will be caught and brought to justice to face punishment for his crime is where the real fun begins. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita looks down at Conan and states that the police and forensics team is at his residence at Conan’s request. He asks Takagi if any of his fingerprints were pulled from the crime scene or near or in Kashima’s sauna. Takagi says no but something of interest was definitely found. That something is an unusual smudge, almost invisible if not for the thorough investigation. Conan confirms that Mita was indeed wearing a pair during the cherry blossom viewing at the get-together that was held at the Japanese Garden the day before. Although because he was wearing gloves, Mita’s fingerprints wasn’t pulled from the sauna switch, but he did leave something behind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular belief, wearing gloves may seem like a clever way to conceal evidence, but depending on the material, it can do more harm than good. Leather products hold their own special qualities and characteristics, almost like a human. This is due to the fact of the natural grain of leather coming from an animal’s hide, meaning it can potentially be used for identification purposes. This is true when examining high-quality leather with visible grain patterns. In some forensic investigations, the police can attempt to lift latent fingerprints from leather surfaces by using special techniques to visualize the ridge details left behind by touch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan inserts that neither Mr. Ariyuki Kashima nor Mita is innocent; both have committed crimes under the law. Ariyuki learned that Mita was embezzling money from his company. Instead of going to the authorities, Mr. Kashima blackmailed him, further fueling the deep hatred inside Mita that eventually manifested into murder. Miniature proof is that Mita was on Kashima’s computer, allegedly looking for Kashima’s address book, but he was really deleting the incriminating emails. Just because one deletes files from a computer, it doesn’t mean they went away completely. Conan states that after Mita did what he did, Conan went after him and confirmed his partial theory. Some of the emails stuck out to Conan in particular: specifically where Mita was a good standing citizen who rose up the ranks in Ariyuki’s company. He even shared aspirations of living in the suburbs, finally marrying his high school sweetheart, having children, grandchildren, and dying without regrets knowing he left a legacy that would be upheld and remembered for generations to come. Based on the heartfelt emails alone, Ariyuki saw Mita’s gentle well mannered heart for weakness and began an extremely relentless campaign in keeping Mita in check, turning Mita into a victim of blackmail, and unfortunately, a cold hearted bloodthirsty sadistic monster that’s led them to this current moment and situation. He even asked some exports on the matter and the results were astounding to say the least. If Mita had any motives for wanting Kashima dead in the worst way possible, it would be that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth of the matter is, Mita is dating a coworker in his department. That woman has said she was pushing Mr. Kashima to drink alot of alcoholic beverages at the cherry blossom viewing party. Mita had to get someone else to get Kashima liquored up to the point of no return and make him drink as much as possible. The gathering of alcohol is also calculated. It would be beneficial if someone else got it on Mita’s behalf. His girlfriend’s behavior matched the given conditions and was investigated as well. During Mita’s girlfriend’s questioning, she stated that Mita asked her to get Kashima drunk and if it was successful, he would take her on vacation to Italy, all expenses paid, just show up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita claims that there is nothing wrong with playing a harmless adult game. Also, the gloves that Takagi wants has been thrown in the incinerator due to their defectiveness and holes. Mita gives another evil grin and states that Conan’s attempts at naming him the killer was entertaining but have came up short, leaving Conan and Takagi helpless. Takagi asks Mita if he remembers pouring Detective Kogoro Mouri a beer in his cup at the garden party. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During that time, Mita was wearing his leather gloves, the &#039;&#039;very same ones&#039;&#039; from the cherry blossom party. The trash bin at the garden was full to capacity so nothing else could have been disposed of. With no other choice, that same beer can that Mita touched with his gloves went to Detective Mouri’s house and was discarded there. If the unique characteristic mark made by Mita’s leather gloves matches the mark on Kashima’s sauna switch with the beer can, then Mita’s perfect crime theory is a bust, and the link between the cherry blossom and hot sauna is therefore satisfied. He can kiss his girlfriend and his trip to Italy goodbye for the rest of his life. Mita is promptly arrested by Takagi as Conan tells him that his words held true: “when there is a detective who stands on business, there is no such thing as a perfect crime.” With Mita now in custody to face judgment for murder, Conan takes his rightfully earned victory in triumph and returns to the Mouri agency.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Intense Cold World of Murder ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan and the Detective Boys, accompanied by their teacher Ms. Koyabashi, are on a school field trip to a food factory. Disinterested, Conan listens to the Japan-Brazil soccer game on his MP3 player which is confiscated by Koyabashi. They are given a tour of the facility by employees Kashiwa and Minamoto. Minamoto abruptly leaves, forcing Kashiwa to handle the tour on her own. Before he departs, Kashiwa gives him a brown paper bag, reminding Minamoto of “that thing” they talked about yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kids are shown a movie about the factory and tour goes well and ends. Conan sneaks off to the employee lounge to watch the last minutes of the soccer game but is caught by Kashiwa. She reprimands Conan for sneaking off on his own. Conan is upset that he can’t watch the game but Kashiwa informs him that the game is over and the Brazilian team won, 3-1. An hour after the tour, and as promised for being good students, Kashiwa gives the kids ice cream. While the loud energetic children enjoy their ice cream, Kashiwa presents a small demonstration using the factory’s large walk-in freezer using another banana. She opens the door of the large walk-in freezer and, to her and the kids’ shock and horror, discover Minamoto on the floor, face up, frozen to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched. The exact cause of Minamoto’s death is uncertain as well as his accurate time of death due to the extreme cold conditions, but indicators point to hypothermia as he was froze solid. Minamoto was last seen alive and well at 10AM, which is the time where the tour had begun. As far as hypothermia goes, it is an involuntary drop in core body temperature that occurs during long exposure to extreme cold temperatures. Death varies due to a number of factors depending on the individual. Bright red lividy marks are found at the nape of Minamoto’s neck. The banana Kashiwa gave Minamoto before he left is found near his corpse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is determined that Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put the banana away, but everyone assumes Minamoto slipped and was stuck to the floor, until Conan discovers a pack of broken rice crackers in the victim’s chest pocket. With the given circumstances, Conan believes that someone knocked Minamoto unconscious, causing him to fall facing the front thereby breaking the rice crackers, then turned him on his back to alter the crime scene. While Kashiwa tearfully blames herself for what has happened, Conan fearfully believes that Minamoto has been murdered, and his killer went out of their way to stage it as an accident. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The security guards say no one out of the ordinary in the vicinity of the factory was seen with the exception of Conan, the Detective Boys (who are of no use in this case due to their separation from Conan), their classmates, and Ms. Koyabashi, effectively ruling out the possibility of an outsider job. Kashiwa’s weird behavior lands her on Conan’s suspect list. Furthermore, is it virtually above possible means for anyone to freeze a human body very quickly, even at -60 degrees, but one matter remains: if Kashiwa is the killer, how was she able to freeze a human being with so quickly while being surrounded with children the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a brief encounter with the factory’s owner and maid. The owner says that Minamoto had been reprimanded for slacking off at work and was on the verge of being fired for taking long excessive breaks in the lounge and bathroom. Cell phones and other electronic devices are prohibited during work hours to improve safety. After wrapping up with the boss, Conan hides from Ms. Koyabashi inside the factory’s kitchenette. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Curious, Conan looks inside the trash bin and comes across rice cracker wrappers and cola cans. The maid says Minamoto used to eat his favorite snacks which included rice crackers and a can of cola which was thrown in the garbage. She remembers Minamoto grabbing a few snacks at the beginning of the shift, but strangely enough, she believes someone else threw them in the garbage because Minamoto would have eaten all his snacks and not throw them in the garbage so hastily. After realizing Minamoto was a soccer fan, Conan understands the truth behind his death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Due to the incompetence of the local police, Conan takes matters into his own hands and solves the case. The key factor in solving this crime is to retrace and analyze the victim’s movements, work ethics, and final moments that directly led to his death. Without Kogoro or Sonoko to impersonate, or the Detective Boys to help assist, Conan goes directly for the jugular vein and handles the details of the case himself in front of everyone. Minamoto’s passing was NOT the result of a tragic workplace accident, but instead a cruel malicious murder; the culprit is his coworker, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kashiwa&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Initial Setup and Pretext Facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put inside the brown paper bag containing a banana. This was nothing more than pretext, as she needed the children she was guiding to confirm that Minamoto went into the freezer acting under a harmless favor and giving him a legitimate reason for being in there in the first place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Deadly Assault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, during her break, Kashiwa went straight to the walk-in freezer (which is where Minamoto had been at slacking off on the job), and bashed the unsuspecting Minamoto in the back of his neck near his skull with a metal cylinder, causing the rice crackers in his chest pocket to crush as he fell forward from the unprovoked assault (the bright pink mark started to form thereafter and was found on his neck from this attack). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Kill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Kashiwa proceeded to open the same cylinder, turned the still-alive but unconscious Minamoto on his back, oblivious to the rice crackers in his chest pocket, then dumped &#039;&#039;liquid nitrogen&#039;&#039; all over Minamoto‘s body, effectively freezing and killing him in a sheet of ice. The duration of the murder lasted no more than 10 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Explaination of the real murder weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic liquified gas capable of freezing human flesh almost instantly upon contact. It is a hazardous material commonly found in food factories, hospitals, and construction sites and it is primarily used for flash-freezing, food preservation, packaging, medical uses, freezing pipes, among other things. It is incredibly cold at -196 degrees Celsius, or -321 degrees Fahrenheit, and must be handled with care at all times. That was Kashiwa’s murder weapon, not the freezer itself. Liquid nitrogen expands rapidly into nitrogen gas as it warms up. If one pours enough liquid nitrogen into a sealed room to freeze a person, the gas would instantly displace all the oxygen. Even if Minamoto survived the initial freeze because of the Leidenfrost Effect, the victim would lose consciousness within seconds and die of asphyxiation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Counterintuitively, pouring liquid nitrogen onto someone who is wearing clothes is vastly more dangerous than pouring it on someone who is naked. Standard fabrics (like a cotton shirt, jeans, or cloth gloves) will instantly absorb and trap the liquid nitrogen. This holds the cryogenic liquid tightly against the skin, bypassing the Leidenfrost effect completely and causing immediate, catastrophic freezing that can require surgical amputation. Liquid nitrogen isn’t hard for Kashiwa to obtain considering the murder taking place at a food factory where it is commonly found. Kashiwa denies having any involvement in Minamoto’s murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cover-Up and Grim Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Committing the crime this way, Kashiwa made it appear that Minamoto accidentally slipped in the freezer and was there for hours. Under natural circumstances, a healthy fit human being would take anywhere between 10 minutes to just about several hours to completely freeze solid. This would undoubtedly give Kashiwa the perfect alibi as she was hoping the investigators would write off his death as a tragic accident. In reality, he was brutally murdered just minutes before the discovery of his corpse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Victim’s Habits and Miscellaneous History &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minamoto was a well-known slacker at work and often left Kashiwa to handle his duties, as such at the beginning of the tour. Kashiwa most likely told their boss that she would get him to cooperate. This is evidenced by Minamoto’s boss who had threatened termination because of his work ethics. Had Minamoto been caught inside the freezer by another random coworker, he could easily state that he was doing that favor for Kashiwa with the banana, and her plan would remain intact. Minamoto had rice crackers and cola inside the freezer and had consumed most of them. The rest were discarded by Kashiwa after she brutally murdered him to remove any trace of his laziness. The maid testifies to this as she has witnessed him indulging on his favorite snacks during work hours on multiple occasions; Minamoto would not have thrown his snacks away so easily. His reason for leaving so abruptly was because he was in a rush to watch the soccer game. Kashiwa told him that the best hiding place was the freezing unit. She would then betray Minamoto, using his laziness against him, and carry out her gruesome crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Final Whistle &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa angrily denies the allegations again made against her and ridicules the police for listening to Conan. As evidence of her crime, Conan testifies that during the encounter he had with Kashiwa while at the employee lounge, she had told him that the soccer game was over and Brazil won 3-1. In addition to witnessing Minamoto eating his favorite snacks during work hours, the maid also testifies and confirms that Minamoto was a soccer fanatic. The reason why this is extraordinarily important is because there is no way Kashiwa should have known about the final score of the soccer game considering she was in the middle of a tour. The soccer game started at 10:00AM, and ended around 11:45. This is usually the time that the final score of the game is announced along with the winner. That being said, the only way Kashiwa could have known ANYTHING regarding the soccer game is if she was in close proximity of someone who was listening to the details, who should have been working but instead decided to slack off and listen to the soccer game in the freezer.  She overheard the details of the game, then she ended Minamoto’s life in the manner described above. This is undeniable concrete evidence placing Kashiwa nowhere else in the factory but in the freezer with Minamoto. In an ironic twist of poetic justice, it is Minamoto’s own slacker lifestyle and passion for soccer that became Kashiwa’s downfall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Killer’s Confession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa, upon realizing her undoing, confesses to Minamoto’s murder. She states that she had a rough life, her parents divorced when she was young, and began getting in more trouble than the law could allow. Kashiwa says she became rebellious and started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Eventually, she got tangled up with Minamoto, who Kashiwa claims was a terrible person, but to which degree is up for interpretation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The End of an Ordeal and Final Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she regrets killing Minamoto and is ashamed that she was caught, Kashiwa states that Conan saw through everything and has a moment of deep relief. Kashiwa falls to her knees, defeated, and hugs a confused Conan tightly. She states that Conan is no regular child, that he saw through everything, and blew the metaphorical whistle on her. Kashiwa says that next time, she’ll stand guard at the goal post. Tears flow down Kashiwa’s face as she is arrested for murder.&lt;br /&gt;

== Famous Detective VS The Perfect Crime ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Kogoro, and Conan are enjoying their time viewing cherry blossoms. Kogoro claims himself to be a master detective and his deductions can cut through any deception thrown his way. Their evening is interrupted when they come across Mr. Mita, a man who proclaims that the perfect crime is possible, then goes on to say that he could pull it off. This disturbs Kogoro, Conan, Mr. Mita’s coworkers, and everyone else within earshot. His boss and the only man capable of putting an end to his shenanigans, Ariyuki Kashima, is laid out and drunk past the point of no return, having consumed massive amounts of alcohol. Conan states that the perfect crime is useless when there is a detective on the scene. Mita proclaims that it was only a joke to see how Kogoro would react. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To soothe the situation, Mita puts on a pair of black leather gloves and pours everyone another round of drinks. The garbage bin is filled to the brim with trash and Kogoro suggests just leaving the trash there, but Ran objects and decides to take their empty cans home to dispose of properly. Mita takes Ariyuki home in a cab. Conan notices that Ariyuki dropped his wallet and goes to return it, but Mita and Ariyuki have already left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving at Ariyuki’s condo, Mita reveals that he actually intends on committing the perfect crime and his selected victim is the unfortunate Ariyuki. The drunk Ariyuki is led to his condo and dragged to the back and inside a sauna room. Mita puts on the same pair of leather gloves from the cherry blossom function, strips Ariyuki of his clothing, even his boxer briefs, prompts him onto the wooden seat, and sets the sauna to its highest temperature possible. Before leaving, Mita forges a note and leaves the condo key in the mailbox. Mita looks back and up at Ariyuki’s condo from outside with complete arrogance and over confidence, showing no remorse and pure excitement for tomorrow’s events. In probably the most unsettling display of zero empathy or a shred of remorse, the intellectual terrifying Mita sings in absolute bliss outside Ariyuki’s condominium complex. Mita finishes his creepy musical number and walks away, hands in pocket, fading into the darkness, as Ariyuki himself dies a slow brutal death inside his sauna.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, Mita returns to Ariyuki to act surprise and concerned for his boss. To his actual dismay and genuine shock, he sees Conan making an appearance as he wants to return Ariyuki’s wallet that he dropped yesterday at the function. Mita has the building owner open the door, claiming he left important documents inside and that Ariyuki himself isn’t opening the door and not answering any calls, fearing for the worst. Once inside, they locate the note and key in the mail slot, but Conan detects a foul odor in the air coming from the back of the condo. He rushes through the condo and inside of the sauna, finds Ariyuki’s corpse, covered in gruesome burns all over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Coroner’s Office arrives on the scene and launches an investigation into Ariyuki’s death. Based on the condition of the body, it appears if he had fallen asleep in his sauna and was burned to death after he had drunk large amounts of alcohol prior at the previous function. There are no physical injuries or wounds to suggest a confrontation or struggle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks around and finds nothing out of the ordinary in various parts of the victim’s condo: the kitchen, bathroom, and trash. During his search for clues, he has an unsettling feeling of how Mita was just telling a group of people a horrific story about committing the perfect crime and yet he is at the scene of a crime of his late boss. Conan can not yet confirm if foul play is involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giving the circumstances of this case and manner of death, the dispatch of the police is left at the discretion of the medical examiner. There is nothing suspicious about Ariyuki’s corpse. The medical examiner will assume he got home after drinking with his employees, went into the sauna, fell asleep, and was burnt all over his body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, the manner of death makes perfect sense. An autopsy investigator would have no doubts. They would see Ariyuki’s death and rule it an unfortunate accident, submit the documents, all would be forgotten, and the case would be over. Conan replays the voice of Mita in his head where he asks Kogoro if the perfect crime is impossible, claiming he feels he can do it. With virtually no clue or evidence to be found, Conan wonders if Ariyuki Kashima’s gruesome death is the result of a gross accident, or if really a murder, how can it be proven?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan continues to apply pressure to Mr Mita who he believes to have viciously murdered his employer, Ariyuki Kashima. Mita is on Ariyuki’s computer, apparently deleting files. Conan tricks Mita into leaving the computer to search for a phone in Ariyuki’s coat pocket. When he returns, Mita, developing a dark demeanor, menacingly asks Conan on his actions. Conan does not back down and voices his theory: Ariyuki Kashima may have been murdered. This locks Conan and Mita into an intense psychological battle of cat-and-mouse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan does not denounce the facts that Ariyuki was indeed drunk to the point where he needed support from others. It is just odd that he would strip from his clothing, go into the sauna, and fall asleep. Ariyuki wasn’t force to drink massive amounts of alcohol against his will. He wasn’t attacked as there were no bruises, cuts, or abrasions on his physical body with the exception of the fatal burns. Suspicious enough, Ariyuki’s cell phone wasn’t nearby, despite being home. Most people would keep their cell phones nearby in case of work, an emergency, or a need to call for help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita has once stated that the perfect crime was possible but he counters saying that stating something isn’t the same as doing it. Conan adds that Ariyuki came home but didn’t drink any water, a move most drunk people do in an attempt to sober up. There was no signs of any movement inside the kitchen, refrigerator, or trash bin to indicate that Ariyuki consumed any beverage before he was killed. Mita feels Conan’s growing confidence and begins to appreciate the challenge Conan brings to the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan begins to understand Mita on what he meant by “the perfect crime.” The key points he was talking about were: one, meeting the victim, two, using what is available at home, and in Mr. Kashima’s case, a sauna, third, never use force to minimize leaving unnecessary clues behind. Even if these fail, wait for the next opportunity. When all conditions are met, everything will be examined and ruled an accident. Another point given if one looks at it from a different perspective and realize that alcohol is the most dangerous poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alcohol, sometimes referred by its scientific name ethanol, is a psychoactive drug and central nervous system (CNS) depressant, decreasing electrical activity of neurons in the brain. It is the second most consumed psychoactive drug globally behind caffeine, and alcohol use disorders are the most prevalent of all substance use disorders worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies alcohol as a toxic, psychoactive, dependence-producing, and carcinogenic substance. Drinking alcohol reduces alertness, awareness, among other things. Excessive drinking can lead to cancer, liver and heart diseases, mental issues, and even death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Kashima was not forced to drink, he did it on his own accord. He was brought back home drunk out of his mind, stripped of his clothing, placed into the lethally hot sauna without resistance, and was killed. Doing it this way, it reduces the risks of leaving evidence behind, and if a murder attempt goes awry, alcohol will take the blame and the case comes to an end. Conan believes that all of Mita’s horrific crimes have gone off without a hitch and evidence to be found. If the investigation continues at this rate, Mita, with all his flawless calculations, may walk free with the ultimate victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The landlord walks up and asks for Conan and Mita to leave, but Conan isn’t ready yet. When Conan considers if Mita could have removed fingerprints and remembers that he was wearing gloves, he has a stark revelation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Mita is on the phone with a friend planning to go to Italy during Golden Week when there is a ring at his front door. He opens to see Detective Harry Takagi who wishes to talk more about Kashima and his death. Though caught off guard, Mita gives an evil grin, proclaiming to himself how his best performance will prevail and get him off the hook. Conan is besides Takagi, also smiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two immensely powerful opponents of their respective fields have gathered for one of the most intense psychological games of cat-and-mouse in the history of the franchise. This was a battle of intellect and mental prowess, with each combatant exchanging blow for blow. This test of wits is about to reach its breaking point. Who will fold? Who will remain standing. Who will walk away with victory? Conan or Mita?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; If it was any doubts in anyone’s mind about anything regarding this gross murder case, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mita&#039;&#039;&#039; did indeed murder his boss, Ariyuki Kashima, but how his so-called perfect crime will begin crumbling before his very eyes at the hands of Conan (whom Mita has greatly underestimated up until this point) and how Mita will be caught and brought to justice to face punishment for his crime is where the real fun begins. Please do not allow Mita’s self absorbed mega inflated ego and narcissism gaslight into thinking he is superior than anyone; view him as the disgusting sadistic monster for who is truly is and not an individual of God-like intellect that he wants you to think.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita looks down at Conan and states that the police and forensics team is at his residence at Conan’s request. He asks Takagi if any of his fingerprints were pulled from the crime scene or near or in Kashima’s sauna. Takagi says no but something of interest was definitely found. That something is an unusual smudge, almost invisible if not for the thorough investigation. Conan confirms that Mita was indeed wearing a pair during the cherry blossom viewing at the get-together that was held at the Japanese Garden the day before. Although because he was wearing gloves, Mita’s fingerprints wasn’t pulled from the sauna switch, but he did leave something behind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular belief, wearing gloves may seem like a clever way to conceal evidence, but depending on the material, it can do more harm than good. Leather products hold their own special qualities and characteristics, almost like a human. This is due to the fact of the natural grain of leather coming from an animal’s hide, meaning it can potentially be used for identification purposes. This is true when examining high-quality leather with visible grain patterns. In some forensic investigations, the police can attempt to lift latent fingerprints from leather surfaces by using special techniques to visualize the ridge details left behind by touch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan inserts that neither Mr. Ariyuki Kashima nor Mita is innocent; both have committed crimes under the law. Ariyuki learned that Mita was embezzling money from his company. Instead of going to the authorities, Mr. Kashima blackmailed him, further fueling the deep hatred inside Mita that eventually manifested into murder. Miniature proof is that Mita was on Kashima’s computer, allegedly looking for Kashima’s address book, but he was really deleting the incriminating emails. Just because one deletes files from a computer, it doesn’t mean they went away completely. Conan states that after Mita did what he did, Conan went after him and confirmed his partial theory. Some of the emails stuck out to Conan in particular: specifically where Mita was a good standing citizen who rose up the ranks in Ariyuki’s company. He even shared aspirations of living in the suburbs, finally marrying his high school sweetheart, having children, grandchildren, and dying without regrets knowing he left a legacy that would be upheld and remembered for generations to come. Based on the heartfelt emails alone, Ariyuki saw Mita’s gentle well mannered heart for weakness and began an extremely relentless campaign in keeping Mita in check, turning Mita into a victim of blackmail, and unfortunately, a cold hearted bloodthirsty sadistic monster that’s led them to this current moment and situation. He even asked some exports on the matter and the results were astounding to say the least. If Mita had any motives for wanting Kashima dead in the worst way possible, it would be that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth of the matter is, Mita is dating a coworker in his department. That woman has said she was pushing Mr. Kashima to drink alot of alcoholic beverages at the cherry blossom viewing party. Mita had to get someone else to get Kashima liquored up to the point of no return and make him drink as much as possible. The gathering of alcohol is also calculated. It would be beneficial if someone else got it on Mita’s behalf. His girlfriend’s behavior matched the given conditions and was investigated as well. During Mita’s girlfriend’s questioning, she stated that Mita asked her to get Kashima drunk and if it was successful, he would take her on vacation to Italy, all expenses paid, just show up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita claims that there is nothing wrong with playing a harmless adult game. Also, the gloves that Takagi wants has been thrown in the incinerator due to their defectiveness and holes. Mita gives another evil grin and states that Conan’s attempts at naming him the killer was entertaining but have came up short, leaving Conan and Takagi helpless. Takagi asks Mita if he remembers pouring Detective Kogoro Mouri a beer in his cup at the garden party. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During that time, Mita was wearing his leather gloves, the &#039;&#039;very same ones&#039;&#039; from the cherry blossom party. The trash bin at the garden was full to capacity so nothing else could have been disposed of. With no other choice, that same beer can that Mita touched with his gloves went to Detective Mouri’s house and was discarded there. If the unique characteristic mark made by Mita’s leather gloves matches the mark on Kashima’s sauna switch with the beer can, then Mita’s perfect crime theory is a bust, and the link between the cherry blossom and hot sauna is therefore satisfied. He can kiss his girlfriend and his trip to Italy goodbye for the rest of his life. Mita is promptly arrested by Takagi as Conan tells him that his words held true: “when there is a detective who stands on business, there is no such thing as a perfect crime.” With Mita now in custody to face judgment for murder, Conan takes his rightfully earned victory in triumph and returns to the Mouri agency.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Intense Cold World of Murder ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan and the Detective Boys, accompanied by their teacher Ms. Koyabashi, are on a school field trip to a food factory. Disinterested, Conan listens to the Japan-Brazil soccer game on his MP3 player which is confiscated by Koyabashi. They are given a tour of the facility by employees Kashiwa and Minamoto. Minamoto abruptly leaves, forcing Kashiwa to handle the tour on her own. Before he departs, Kashiwa gives him a brown paper bag, reminding Minamoto of “that thing” they talked about yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kids are shown a movie about the factory and tour goes well and ends. Conan sneaks off to the employee lounge to watch the last minutes of the soccer game but is caught by Kashiwa. She reprimands Conan for sneaking off on his own. Conan is upset that he can’t watch the game but Kashiwa informs him that the game is over and the Brazilian team won, 3-1. An hour after the tour, and as promised for being good students, Kashiwa gives the kids ice cream. While the loud energetic children enjoy their ice cream, Kashiwa presents a small demonstration using the factory’s large walk-in freezer using another banana. She opens the door of the large walk-in freezer and, to her and the kids’ shock and horror, discover Minamoto on the floor, face up, frozen to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched. The exact cause of Minamoto’s death is uncertain as well as his accurate time of death due to the extreme cold conditions, but indicators point to hypothermia as he was froze solid. Minamoto was last seen alive and well at 10AM, which is the time where the tour had begun. As far as hypothermia goes, it is an involuntary drop in core body temperature that occurs during long exposure to extreme cold temperatures. Death varies due to a number of factors depending on the individual. Bright red lividy marks are found at the nape of Minamoto’s neck. The banana Kashiwa gave Minamoto before he left is found near his corpse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is determined that Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put the banana away, but everyone assumes Minamoto slipped and was stuck to the floor, until Conan discovers a pack of broken rice crackers in the victim’s chest pocket. With the given circumstances, Conan believes that someone knocked Minamoto unconscious, causing him to fall facing the front thereby breaking the rice crackers, then turned him on his back to alter the crime scene. While Kashiwa tearfully blames herself for what has happened, Conan fearfully believes that Minamoto has been murdered, and his killer went out of their way to stage it as an accident. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The security guards say no one out of the ordinary in the vicinity of the factory was seen with the exception of Conan, the Detective Boys (who are of no use in this case due to their separation from Conan), their classmates, and Ms. Koyabashi, effectively ruling out the possibility of an outsider job. Kashiwa’s weird behavior lands her on Conan’s suspect list. Furthermore, is it virtually above possible means for anyone to freeze a human body very quickly, even at -60 degrees, but one matter remains: if Kashiwa is the killer, how was she able to freeze a human being with so quickly while being surrounded with children the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a brief encounter with the factory’s owner and maid. The owner says that Minamoto had been reprimanded for slacking off at work and was on the verge of being fired for taking long excessive breaks in the lounge and bathroom. Cell phones and other electronic devices are prohibited during work hours to improve safety. After wrapping up with the boss, Conan hides from Ms. Koyabashi inside the factory’s kitchenette. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Curious, Conan looks inside the trash bin and comes across rice cracker wrappers and cola cans. The maid says Minamoto used to eat his favorite snacks which included rice crackers and a can of cola which was thrown in the garbage. She remembers Minamoto grabbing a few snacks at the beginning of the shift, but strangely enough, she believes someone else threw them in the garbage because Minamoto would have eaten all his snacks and not throw them in the garbage so hastily. After realizing Minamoto was a soccer fan, Conan understands the truth behind his death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Due to the incompetence of the local police, Conan takes matters into his own hands and solves the case. The key factor in solving this crime is to retrace and analyze the victim’s movements, work ethics, and final moments that directly led to his death. Without Kogoro or Sonoko to impersonate, or the Detective Boys to help assist, Conan goes directly for the jugular vein and handles the details of the case himself in front of everyone. Minamoto’s passing was NOT the result of a tragic workplace accident, but instead a cruel malicious murder; the culprit is his coworker, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kashiwa&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Initial Setup and Pretext Facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put inside the brown paper bag containing a banana. This was nothing more than pretext, as she needed the children she was guiding to confirm that Minamoto went into the freezer acting under a harmless favor and giving him a legitimate reason for being in there in the first place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Deadly Assault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, during her break, Kashiwa went straight to the walk-in freezer (which is where Minamoto had been at slacking off on the job), and bashed the unsuspecting Minamoto in the back of his neck near his skull with a metal cylinder, causing the rice crackers in his chest pocket to crush as he fell forward from the unprovoked assault (the bright pink mark started to form thereafter and was found on his neck from this attack). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Kill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Kashiwa proceeded to open the same cylinder, turned the still-alive but unconscious Minamoto on his back, oblivious to the rice crackers in his chest pocket, then dumped &#039;&#039;liquid nitrogen&#039;&#039; all over Minamoto‘s body, effectively freezing and killing him in a sheet of ice. The duration of the murder lasted no more than 10 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Explaination of the real murder weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic liquified gas capable of freezing human flesh almost instantly upon contact. It is a hazardous material commonly found in food factories, hospitals, and construction sites and it is primarily used for flash-freezing, food preservation, packaging, medical uses, freezing pipes, among other things. It is incredibly cold at -196 degrees Celsius, or -321 degrees Fahrenheit, and must be handled with care at all times. That was Kashiwa’s murder weapon, not the freezer itself. Liquid nitrogen expands rapidly into nitrogen gas as it warms up. If one pours enough liquid nitrogen into a sealed room to freeze a person, the gas would instantly displace all the oxygen. Even if Minamoto survived the initial freeze because of the Leidenfrost Effect, the victim would lose consciousness within seconds and die of asphyxiation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Counterintuitively, pouring liquid nitrogen onto someone who is wearing clothes is vastly more dangerous than pouring it on someone who is naked. Standard fabrics (like a cotton shirt, jeans, or cloth gloves) will instantly absorb and trap the liquid nitrogen. This holds the cryogenic liquid tightly against the skin, bypassing the Leidenfrost effect completely and causing immediate, catastrophic freezing that can require surgical amputation. Liquid nitrogen isn’t hard for Kashiwa to obtain considering the murder taking place at a food factory where it is commonly found. Kashiwa denies having any involvement in Minamoto’s murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cover-Up and Grim Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Committing the crime this way, Kashiwa made it appear that Minamoto accidentally slipped in the freezer and was there for hours. Under natural circumstances, a healthy fit human being would take anywhere between 10 minutes to just about several hours to completely freeze solid. This would undoubtedly give Kashiwa the perfect alibi as she was hoping the investigators would write off his death as a tragic accident. In reality, he was brutally murdered just minutes before the discovery of his corpse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Victim’s Habits and Miscellaneous History &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minamoto was a well-known slacker at work and often left Kashiwa to handle his duties, as such at the beginning of the tour. Kashiwa most likely told their boss that she would get him to cooperate. This is evidenced by Minamoto’s boss who had threatened termination because of his work ethics. Had Minamoto been caught inside the freezer by another random coworker, he could easily state that he was doing that favor for Kashiwa with the banana, and her plan would remain intact. Minamoto had rice crackers and cola inside the freezer and had consumed most of them. The rest were discarded by Kashiwa after she brutally murdered him to remove any trace of his laziness. The maid testifies to this as she has witnessed him indulging on his favorite snacks during work hours on multiple occasions; Minamoto would not have thrown his snacks away so easily. His reason for leaving so abruptly was because he was in a rush to watch the soccer game. Kashiwa told him that the best hiding place was the freezing unit. She would then betray Minamoto, using his laziness against him, and carry out her gruesome crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Final Whistle &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa angrily denies the allegations again made against her and ridicules the police for listening to Conan. As evidence of her crime, Conan testifies that during the encounter he had with Kashiwa while at the employee lounge, she had told him that the soccer game was over and Brazil won 3-1. In addition to witnessing Minamoto eating his favorite snacks during work hours, the maid also testifies and confirms that Minamoto was a soccer fanatic. The reason why this is extraordinarily important is because there is no way Kashiwa should have known about the final score of the soccer game considering she was in the middle of a tour. The soccer game started at 10:00AM, and ended around 11:45. This is usually the time that the final score of the game is announced along with the winner. That being said, the only way Kashiwa could have known ANYTHING regarding the soccer game is if she was in close proximity of someone who was listening to the details, who should have been working but instead decided to slack off and listen to the soccer game in the freezer.  She overheard the details of the game, then she ended Minamoto’s life in the manner described above. This is undeniable concrete evidence placing Kashiwa nowhere else in the factory but in the freezer with Minamoto. In an ironic twist of poetic justice, it is Minamoto’s own slacker lifestyle and passion for soccer that became Kashiwa’s downfall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Killer’s Confession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa, upon realizing her undoing, confesses to Minamoto’s murder. She states that she had a rough life, her parents divorced when she was young, and began getting in more trouble than the law could allow. Kashiwa says she became rebellious and started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Eventually, she got tangled up with Minamoto, who Kashiwa claims was a terrible person, but to which degree is up for interpretation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The End of an Ordeal and Final Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she regrets killing Minamoto and is ashamed that she was caught, Kashiwa states that Conan saw through everything and has a moment of deep relief. Kashiwa falls to her knees, defeated, and hugs a confused Conan tightly. She states that Conan is no regular child, that he saw through everything, and blew the metaphorical whistle on her. Kashiwa says that next time, she’ll stand guard at the goal post. Tears flow down Kashiwa’s face as she is arrested for murder.&lt;br /&gt;

== Famous Detective VS The Perfect Crime ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Kogoro, and Conan are enjoying their time viewing cherry blossoms. Kogoro claims himself to be a master detective and his deductions can cut through any deception thrown his way. Their evening is interrupted when they come across Mr. Mita, a man who proclaims that the perfect crime is possible, then goes on to say that he could pull it off. This disturbs Kogoro, Conan, Mr. Mita’s coworkers, and everyone else within earshot. His boss and the only man capable of putting an end to his shenanigans, Ariyuki Kashima, is laid out and drunk past the point of no return, having consumed massive amounts of alcohol. Conan states that the perfect crime is useless when there is a detective on the scene. Mita proclaims that it was only a joke to see how Kogoro would react. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To soothe the situation, Mita puts on a pair of black leather gloves and pours everyone another round of drinks. The garbage bin is filled to the brim with trash and Kogoro suggests just leaving the trash there, but Ran objects and decides to take their empty cans home to dispose of properly. Mita takes Ariyuki home in a cab. Conan notices that Ariyuki dropped his wallet and goes to return it, but Mita and Ariyuki have already left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving at Ariyuki’s condo, Mita reveals that he actually intends on committing the perfect crime and his selected victim is the unfortunate Ariyuki. The drunk Ariyuki is led to his condo and dragged to the back and inside a sauna room. Mita puts on the same pair of leather gloves from the cherry blossom function, strips Ariyuki of his clothing, even his boxer briefs, prompts him onto the wooden seat, and sets the sauna to its highest temperature possible. Before leaving, Mita forges a note and leaves the condo key in the mailbox. Mita looks back and up at Ariyuki’s condo from outside with complete arrogance and over confidence, showing no remorse and pure excitement for tomorrow’s events. In probably the most unsettling display of zero empathy or a shred of remorse, the intellectual terrifying Mita sings in absolute bliss outside Ariyuki’s condominium complex. Mita finishes his creepy musical number and walks away, hands in pocket, fading into the darkness, as Ariyuki himself dies a slow brutal death inside his sauna.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, Mita returns to Ariyuki to act surprise and concerned for his boss. To his actual dismay and genuine shock, he sees Conan making an appearance as he wants to return Ariyuki’s wallet that he dropped yesterday at the function. Mita has the building owner open the door, claiming he left important documents inside and that Ariyuki himself isn’t opening the door and not answering any calls, fearing for the worst. Once inside, they locate the note and key in the mail slot, but Conan detects a foul odor in the air coming from the back of the condo. He rushes through the condo and inside of the sauna, finds Ariyuki’s corpse, covered in gruesome burns all over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Coroner’s Office arrives on the scene and launches an investigation into Ariyuki’s death. Based on the condition of the body, it appears if he had fallen asleep in his sauna and was burned to death after he had drunk large amounts of alcohol prior at the previous function. There are no physical injuries or wounds to suggest a confrontation or struggle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks around and finds nothing out of the ordinary in various parts of the victim’s condo: the kitchen, bathroom, and trash. During his search for clues, he has an unsettling feeling of how Mita was just telling a group of people a horrific story about committing the perfect crime and yet he is at the scene of a crime of his late boss. Conan can not yet confirm if foul play is involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giving the circumstances of this case and manner of death, the dispatch of the police is left at the discretion of the medical examiner. There is nothing suspicious about Ariyuki’s corpse. The medical examiner will assume he got home after drinking with his employees, went into the sauna, fell asleep, and was burnt all over his body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, the manner of death makes perfect sense. An autopsy investigator would have no doubts. They would see Ariyuki’s death and rule it an unfortunate accident, submit the documents, all would be forgotten, and the case would be over. Conan replays the voice of Mita in his head where he asks Kogoro if the perfect crime is impossible, claiming he feels he can do it. With virtually no clue or evidence to be found, Conan wonders if Ariyuki Kashima’s gruesome death is the result of a gross accident, or if really a murder, how can it be proven?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan continues to apply pressure to Mr Mita who he believes to have viciously murdered his employer, Ariyuki Kashima. Mita is on Ariyuki’s computer, apparently deleting files. Conan tricks Mita into leaving the computer to search for a phone in Ariyuki’s coat pocket. When he returns, Mita, developing a dark demeanor, menacingly asks Conan on his actions. Conan does not back down and voices his theory: Ariyuki Kashima may have been murdered. This locks Conan and Mita into an intense psychological battle of cat-and-mouse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan does not denounce the facts that Ariyuki was indeed drunk to the point where he needed support from others. It is just odd that he would strip from his clothing, go into the sauna, and fall asleep. Ariyuki wasn’t force to drink massive amounts of alcohol against his will. He wasn’t attacked as there were no bruises, cuts, or abrasions on his physical body with the exception of the fatal burns. Suspicious enough, Ariyuki’s cell phone wasn’t nearby, despite being home. Most people would keep their cell phones nearby in case of work, an emergency, or a need to call for help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita has once stated that the perfect crime was possible but he counters saying that stating something isn’t the same as doing it. Conan adds that Ariyuki came home but didn’t drink any water, a move most drunk people do in an attempt to sober up. There was no signs of any movement inside the kitchen, refrigerator, or trash bin to indicate that Ariyuki consumed any beverage before he was killed. Mita feels Conan’s growing confidence and begins to appreciate the challenge Conan brings to the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan begins to understand Mita on what he meant by “the perfect crime.” The key points he was talking about were: one, meeting the victim, two, using what is available at home, and in Mr. Kashima’s case, a sauna, third, never use force to minimize leaving unnecessary clues behind. Even if these fail, wait for the next opportunity. When all conditions are met, everything will be examined and ruled an accident. Another point given if one looks at it from a different perspective and realize that alcohol is the most dangerous poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alcohol, sometimes referred by its scientific name ethanol, is a psychoactive drug and central nervous system (CNS) depressant, decreasing electrical activity of neurons in the brain. It is the second most consumed psychoactive drug globally behind caffeine, and alcohol use disorders are the most prevalent of all substance use disorders worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies alcohol as a toxic, psychoactive, dependence-producing, and carcinogenic substance. Drinking alcohol reduces alertness, awareness, among other things. Excessive drinking can lead to cancer, liver and heart diseases, mental issues, and even death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Kashima was not forced to drink, he did it on his own accord. He was brought back home drunk out of his mind, stripped of his clothing, placed into the lethally hot sauna without resistance, and was killed. Doing it this way, it reduces the risks of leaving evidence behind, and if a murder attempt goes awry, alcohol will take the blame and the case comes to an end. Conan believes that all of Mita’s horrific crimes have gone off without a hitch and evidence to be found. If the investigation continues at this rate, Mita, with all his flawless calculations, may walk free with the ultimate victory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The landlord walks up and asks for Conan and Mita to leave, but Conan isn’t ready yet. When Conan considers if Mita could have removed fingerprints and remembers that he was wearing gloves, he has a stark revelation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Mita is on the phone with a friend planning to go to Italy during Golden Week when there is a ring at his front door. He opens to see Detective Harry Takagi who wishes to talk more about Kashima and his death. Though caught off guard, Mita gives an evil grin, proclaiming to himself how his best performance will prevail and get him off the hook. Conan is besides Takagi, also smiling. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two immensely powerful opponents of their respective fields have gathered for one of the most intense psychological games of cat-and-mouse in the history of the franchise. This was a battle of intellect and mental prowess, with each combatant exchanging blow for blow. This test of wits is about to reach its breaking point. Who will fold? Who will remain standing. Who will walk away with victory? Conan or Mita?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; If it was any doubts in anyone’s mind about anything regarding this gross murder case, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mita&#039;&#039;&#039; did indeed murder his boss, Ariyuki Kashima, but how his so-called perfect crime will begin crumbling before his very eyes at the hands of Conan (whom Mita has greatly underestimated up until this point) and how Mita will be caught and brought to justice to face punishment for his crime is where the real fun begins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita looks down at Conan and states that the police and forensics team is at his residence at Conan’s request. He asks Takagi if any of his fingerprints were pulled from the crime scene or near or in Kashima’s sauna. Takagi says no but something of interest was definitely found. That something is an unusual smudge, almost invisible if not for the thorough investigation. Conan confirms that Mita was indeed wearing a pair during the cherry blossom viewing at the get-together that was held at the Japanese Garden the day before. Although because he was wearing gloves, Mita’s fingerprints wasn’t pulled from the sauna switch, but he did leave something behind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular belief, wearing gloves may seem like a clever way to conceal evidence, but depending on the material, it can do more harm than good. Leather products hold their own special qualities and characteristics, almost like a human. This is due to the fact of the natural grain of leather coming from an animal’s hide, meaning it can potentially be used for identification purposes. This is true when examining high-quality leather with visible grain patterns. In some forensic investigations, the police can attempt to lift latent fingerprints from leather surfaces by using special techniques to visualize the ridge details left behind by touch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan inserts that neither Mr. Ariyuki Kashima nor Mita is innocent; both have committed crimes under the law. Ariyuki learned that Mita was embezzling money from his company. Instead of going to the authorities, Mr. Kashima blackmailed him, further fueling the deep hatred inside Mita that eventually manifested into murder. Miniature proof is that Mita was on Kashima’s computer, allegedly looking for Kashima’s address book, but he was really deleting the incriminating emails. Just because one deletes files from a computer, it doesn’t mean they went away completely. Conan states that after Mita did what he did, Conan went after him and confirmed his partial theory. Some of the emails stuck out to Conan in particular: specifically where Mita was a good standing citizen who rose up the ranks in Ariyuki’s company. He even shared aspirations of living in the suburbs, finally marrying his high school sweetheart, having children, grandchildren, and dying without regrets knowing he left a legacy that would be upheld and remembered for generations to come. Based on the heartfelt emails alone, Ariyuki saw Mita’s gentle well mannered heart for weakness and began an extremely relentless campaign in keeping Mita in check, turning Mita into a victim of blackmail, and unfortunately, a cold hearted bloodthirsty sadistic monster that’s led them to this current moment and situation. He even asked some exports on the matter and the results were astounding to say the least. If Mita had any motives for wanting Kashima dead in the worst way possible, it would be that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth of the matter is, Mita is dating a coworker in his department. That woman has said she was pushing Mr. Kashima to drink alot of alcoholic beverages at the cherry blossom viewing party. Mita had to get someone else to get Kashima liquored up to the point of no return and make him drink as much as possible. The gathering of alcohol is also calculated. It would be beneficial if someone else got it on Mita’s behalf. His girlfriend’s behavior matched the given conditions and was investigated as well. During Mita’s girlfriend’s questioning, she stated that Mita asked her to get Kashima drunk and if it was successful, he would take her on vacation to Italy, all expenses paid, just show up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita claims that there is nothing wrong with playing a harmless adult game. Also, the gloves that Takagi wants has been thrown in the incinerator due to their defectiveness and holes. Mita gives another evil grin and states that Conan’s attempts at naming him the killer was entertaining but have came up short, leaving Conan and Takagi helpless. Takagi asks Mita if he remembers pouring Detective Kogoro Mouri a beer in his cup at the garden party. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During that time, Mita was wearing his leather gloves, the &#039;&#039;very same ones&#039;&#039; from the cherry blossom party. The trash bin at the garden was full to capacity so nothing else could have been disposed of. With no other choice, that same beer can that Mita touched with his gloves went to Detective Mouri’s house and was discarded there. If the unique characteristic mark made by Mita’s leather gloves matches the mark on Kashima’s sauna switch with the beer can, then Mita’s perfect crime theory is a bust, and the link between the cherry blossom and hot sauna is therefore satisfied. He can kiss his girlfriend and his trip to Italy goodbye for the rest of his life. Mita is promptly arrested by Takagi as Conan tells him that his words held true: “when there is a detective who stands on business, there is no such thing as a perfect crime.” With Mita now in custody to face judgment for murder, Conan takes his rightfully earned victory in triumph and returns to the Mouri agency.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Intense Cold World of Murder ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan and the Detective Boys, accompanied by their teacher Ms. Koyabashi, are on a school field trip to a food factory. Disinterested, Conan listens to the Japan-Brazil soccer game on his MP3 player which is confiscated by Koyabashi. They are given a tour of the facility by employees Kashiwa and Minamoto. Minamoto abruptly leaves, forcing Kashiwa to handle the tour on her own. Before he departs, Kashiwa gives him a brown paper bag, reminding Minamoto of “that thing” they talked about yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kids are shown a movie about the factory and tour goes well and ends. Conan sneaks off to the employee lounge to watch the last minutes of the soccer game but is caught by Kashiwa. She reprimands Conan for sneaking off on his own. Conan is upset that he can’t watch the game but Kashiwa informs him that the game is over and the Brazilian team won, 3-1. An hour after the tour, and as promised for being good students, Kashiwa gives the kids ice cream. While the loud energetic children enjoy their ice cream, Kashiwa presents a small demonstration using the factory’s large walk-in freezer using another banana. She opens the door of the large walk-in freezer and, to her and the kids’ shock and horror, discover Minamoto on the floor, face up, frozen to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched. The exact cause of Minamoto’s death is uncertain as well as his accurate time of death due to the extreme cold conditions, but indicators point to hypothermia as he was froze solid. Minamoto was last seen alive and well at 10AM, which is the time where the tour had begun. As far as hypothermia goes, it is an involuntary drop in core body temperature that occurs during long exposure to extreme cold temperatures. Death varies due to a number of factors depending on the individual. Bright red lividy marks are found at the nape of Minamoto’s neck. The banana Kashiwa gave Minamoto before he left is found near his corpse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is determined that Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put the banana away, but everyone assumes Minamoto slipped and was stuck to the floor, until Conan discovers a pack of broken rice crackers in the victim’s chest pocket. With the given circumstances, Conan believes that someone knocked Minamoto unconscious, causing him to fall facing the front thereby breaking the rice crackers, then turned him on his back to alter the crime scene. While Kashiwa tearfully blames herself for what has happened, Conan fearfully believes that Minamoto has been murdered, and his killer went out of their way to stage it as an accident. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The security guards say no one out of the ordinary in the vicinity of the factory was seen with the exception of Conan, the Detective Boys (who are of no use in this case due to their separation from Conan), their classmates, and Ms. Koyabashi, effectively ruling out the possibility of an outsider job. Kashiwa’s weird behavior lands her on Conan’s suspect list. Furthermore, is it virtually above possible means for anyone to freeze a human body very quickly, even at -60 degrees, but one matter remains: if Kashiwa is the killer, how was she able to freeze a human being with so quickly while being surrounded with children the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a brief encounter with the factory’s owner and maid. The owner says that Minamoto had been reprimanded for slacking off at work and was on the verge of being fired for taking long excessive breaks in the lounge and bathroom. Cell phones and other electronic devices are prohibited during work hours to improve safety. After wrapping up with the boss, Conan hides from Ms. Koyabashi inside the factory’s kitchenette. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Curious, Conan looks inside the trash bin and comes across rice cracker wrappers and cola cans. The maid says Minamoto used to eat his favorite snacks which included rice crackers and a can of cola which was thrown in the garbage. She remembers Minamoto grabbing a few snacks at the beginning of the shift, but strangely enough, she believes someone else threw them in the garbage because Minamoto would have eaten all his snacks and not throw them in the garbage so hastily. After realizing Minamoto was a soccer fan, Conan understands the truth behind his death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Due to the incompetence of the local police, Conan takes matters into his own hands and solves the case. The key factor in solving this crime is to retrace and analyze the victim’s movements, work ethics, and final moments that directly led to his death. Without Kogoro or Sonoko to impersonate, or the Detective Boys to help assist, Conan goes directly for the jugular vein and handles the details of the case himself in front of everyone. Minamoto’s passing was NOT the result of a tragic workplace accident, but instead a cruel malicious murder; the culprit is his coworker, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kashiwa&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Initial Setup and Pretext Facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put inside the brown paper bag containing a banana. This was nothing more than pretext, as she needed the children she was guiding to confirm that Minamoto went into the freezer acting under a harmless favor and giving him a legitimate reason for being in there in the first place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Deadly Assault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, during her break, Kashiwa went straight to the walk-in freezer (which is where Minamoto had been at slacking off on the job), and bashed the unsuspecting Minamoto in the back of his neck near his skull with a metal cylinder, causing the rice crackers in his chest pocket to crush as he fell forward from the unprovoked assault (the bright pink mark started to form thereafter and was found on his neck from this attack). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Kill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Kashiwa proceeded to open the same cylinder, turned the still-alive but unconscious Minamoto on his back, oblivious to the rice crackers in his chest pocket, then dumped &#039;&#039;liquid nitrogen&#039;&#039; all over Minamoto‘s body, effectively freezing and killing him in a sheet of ice. The duration of the murder lasted no more than 10 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Explaination of the real murder weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic liquified gas capable of freezing human flesh almost instantly upon contact. It is a hazardous material commonly found in food factories, hospitals, and construction sites and it is primarily used for flash-freezing, food preservation, packaging, medical uses, freezing pipes, among other things. It is incredibly cold at -196 degrees Celsius, or -321 degrees Fahrenheit, and must be handled with care at all times. That was Kashiwa’s murder weapon, not the freezer itself. Liquid nitrogen expands rapidly into nitrogen gas as it warms up. If one pours enough liquid nitrogen into a sealed room to freeze a person, the gas would instantly displace all the oxygen. Even if Minamoto survived the initial freeze because of the Leidenfrost Effect, the victim would lose consciousness within seconds and die of asphyxiation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Counterintuitively, pouring liquid nitrogen onto someone who is wearing clothes is vastly more dangerous than pouring it on someone who is naked. Standard fabrics (like a cotton shirt, jeans, or cloth gloves) will instantly absorb and trap the liquid nitrogen. This holds the cryogenic liquid tightly against the skin, bypassing the Leidenfrost effect completely and causing immediate, catastrophic freezing that can require surgical amputation. Liquid nitrogen isn’t hard for Kashiwa to obtain considering the murder taking place at a food factory where it is commonly found. Kashiwa denies having any involvement in Minamoto’s murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cover-Up and Grim Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Committing the crime this way, Kashiwa made it appear that Minamoto accidentally slipped in the freezer and was there for hours. Under natural circumstances, a healthy fit human being would take anywhere between 10 minutes to just about several hours to completely freeze solid. This would undoubtedly give Kashiwa the perfect alibi as she was hoping the investigators would write off his death as a tragic accident. In reality, he was brutally murdered just minutes before the discovery of his corpse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Victim’s Habits and Miscellaneous History &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minamoto was a well-known slacker at work and often left Kashiwa to handle his duties, as such at the beginning of the tour. Kashiwa most likely told their boss that she would get him to cooperate. This is evidenced by Minamoto’s boss who had threatened termination because of his work ethics. Had Minamoto been caught inside the freezer by another random coworker, he could easily state that he was doing that favor for Kashiwa with the banana, and her plan would remain intact. Minamoto had rice crackers and cola inside the freezer and had consumed most of them. The rest were discarded by Kashiwa after she brutally murdered him to remove any trace of his laziness. The maid testifies to this as she has witnessed him indulging on his favorite snacks during work hours on multiple occasions; Minamoto would not have thrown his snacks away so easily. His reason for leaving so abruptly was because he was in a rush to watch the soccer game. Kashiwa told him that the best hiding place was the freezing unit. She would then betray Minamoto, using his laziness against him, and carry out her gruesome crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Final Whistle &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa angrily denies the allegations again made against her and ridicules the police for listening to Conan. As evidence of her crime, Conan testifies that during the encounter he had with Kashiwa while at the employee lounge, she had told him that the soccer game was over and Brazil won 3-1. In addition to witnessing Minamoto eating his favorite snacks during work hours, the maid also testifies and confirms that Minamoto was a soccer fanatic. The reason why this is extraordinarily important is because there is no way Kashiwa should have known about the final score of the soccer game considering she was in the middle of a tour. The soccer game started at 10:00AM, and ended around 11:45. This is usually the time that the final score of the game is announced along with the winner. That being said, the only way Kashiwa could have known ANYTHING regarding the soccer game is if she was in close proximity of someone who was listening to the details, who should have been working but instead decided to slack off and listen to the soccer game in the freezer.  She overheard the details of the game, then she ended Minamoto’s life in the manner described above. This is undeniable concrete evidence placing Kashiwa nowhere else in the factory but in the freezer with Minamoto. In an ironic twist of poetic justice, it is Minamoto’s own slacker lifestyle and passion for soccer that became Kashiwa’s downfall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Killer’s Confession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa, upon realizing her undoing, confesses to Minamoto’s murder. She states that she had a rough life, her parents divorced when she was young, and began getting in more trouble than the law could allow. Kashiwa says she became rebellious and started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Eventually, she got tangled up with Minamoto, who Kashiwa claims was a terrible person, but to which degree is up for interpretation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The End of an Ordeal and Final Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she regrets killing Minamoto and is ashamed that she was caught, Kashiwa states that Conan saw through everything and has a moment of deep relief. Kashiwa falls to her knees, defeated, and hugs a confused Conan tightly. She states that Conan is no regular child, that he saw through everything, and blew the metaphorical whistle on her. Kashiwa says that next time, she’ll stand guard at the goal post. Tears flow down Kashiwa’s face as she is arrested for murder.&lt;br /&gt;

== Famous Detective VS The Perfect Crime ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Kogoro, and Conan are enjoying their time viewing cherry blossoms. Kogoro claims himself to be a master detective and his deductions can cut through any deception thrown his way. Their evening is interrupted when they come across Mr. Mita, a man who proclaims that the perfect crime is possible, then goes on to say that he could pull it off. This disturbs Kogoro, Conan, Mr. Mita’s coworkers, and everyone else within earshot. His boss and the only man capable of putting an end to his shenanigans, Ariyuki Kashima, is laid out and drunk past the point of no return, having consumed massive amounts of alcohol. Conan states that the perfect crime is useless when there is a detective on the scene. Mita proclaims that it was only a joke to see how Kogoro would react. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To soothe the situation, Mita puts on a pair of black leather gloves and pours everyone another round of drinks. The garbage bin is filled to the brim with trash and Kogoro suggests just leaving the trash there, but Ran objects and decides to take their empty cans home to dispose of properly. Mita takes Ariyuki home in a cab. Conan notices that Ariyuki dropped his wallet and goes to return it, but Mita and Ariyuki have already left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving at Ariyuki’s condo, Mita reveals that he actually intends on committing the perfect crime and his selected victim is the unfortunate Ariyuki. The drunk Ariyuki is led to his condo and dragged to the back and inside a sauna room. Mita puts on the same pair of leather gloves from the cherry blossom function, strips Ariyuki of his clothing, even his boxer briefs, prompts him onto the wooden seat, and sets the sauna to its highest temperature possible. Before leaving, Mita forges a note and leaves the condo key in the mailbox. Mita looks back and up at Ariyuki’s condo from outside with complete arrogance and over confidence, showing no remorse and pure excitement for tomorrow’s events. In probably the most unsettling display of zero empathy or a shred of remorse, the intellectual terrifying Mita sings in absolute bliss outside Ariyuki’s condominium complex. Mita finishes his creepy musical number and walks away, hands in pocket, fading into the darkness, as Ariyuki himself dies a slow brutal death inside his sauna.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, Mita returns to Ariyuki to act surprise and concerned for his boss. To his actual dismay and genuine shock, he sees Conan making an appearance as he wants to return Ariyuki’s wallet that he dropped yesterday at the function. Mita has the building owner open the door, claiming he left important documents inside and that Ariyuki himself isn’t opening the door and not answering any calls, fearing for the worst. Once inside, they locate the note and key in the mail slot, but Conan detects a foul odor in the air coming from the back of the condo. He rushes through the condo and inside of the sauna, finds Ariyuki’s corpse, covered in gruesome burns all over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Coroner’s Office arrives on the scene and launches an investigation into Ariyuki’s death. Based on the condition of the body, it appears if he had fallen asleep in his sauna and was burned to death after he had drunk large amounts of alcohol prior at the previous function. There are no physical injuries or wounds to suggest a confrontation or struggle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks around and finds nothing out of the ordinary in various parts of the victim’s condo: the kitchen, bathroom, and trash. During his search for clues, he has an unsettling feeling of how Mita was just telling a group of people a horrific story about committing the perfect crime and yet he is at the scene of a crime of his late boss. Conan can not yet confirm if foul play is involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giving the circumstances of this case and manner of death, the dispatch of the police is left at the discretion of the medical examiner. There is nothing suspicious about Ariyuki’s corpse. The medical examiner will assume he got home after drinking with his employees, went into the sauna, fell asleep, and was burnt all over his body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, the manner of death makes perfect sense. An autopsy investigator would have no doubts. They would see Ariyuki’s death and rule it an unfortunate accident, submit the documents, all would be forgotten, and the case would be over. Conan replays the voice of Mita in his head where he asks Kogoro if the perfect crime is impossible, claiming he feels he can do it. With virtually no clue or evidence to be found, Conan wonders if Ariyuki Kashima’s gruesome death is the result of a gross accident, or if really a murder, how can it be proven?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan continues to apply pressure to Mr Mita who he believes to have viciously murdered his employer, Ariyuki Kashima. Mita is on Ariyuki’s computer, apparently deleting files. Conan tricks Mita into leaving the computer to search for a phone in Ariyuki’s coat pocket. When he returns, Mita, developing a dark demeanor, menacingly asks Conan on his actions. Conan does not back down and voices his theory: Ariyuki Kashima may have been murdered. This locks Conan and Mita into an intense psychological battle of cat-and-mouse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan does not denounce the facts that Ariyuki was indeed drunk to the point where he needed support from others. It is just odd that he would strip from his clothing, go into the sauna, and fall asleep. Ariyuki wasn’t force to drink massive amounts of alcohol against his will. He wasn’t attacked as there were no bruises, cuts, or abrasions on his physical body with the exception of the fatal burns. Suspicious enough, Ariyuki’s cell phone wasn’t nearby, despite being home. Most people would keep their cell phones nearby in case of work, an emergency, or a need to call for help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita has once stated that the perfect crime was possible but he counters saying that stating something isn’t the same as doing it. Conan adds that Ariyuki came home but didn’t drink any water, a move most drunk people do in an attempt to sober up. There was no signs of any movement inside the kitchen, refrigerator, or trash bin to indicate that Ariyuki consumed any beverage before he was killed. Mita feels Conan’s growing confidence and begins to appreciate the challenge Conan brings to the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan begins to understand Mita on what he meant by “the perfect crime.” The key points he was talking about were: one, meeting the victim, two, using what is available at home, and in Mr. Kashima’s case, a sauna, third, never use force to minimize leaving unnecessary clues behind. Even if these fail, wait for the next opportunity. When all conditions are met, everything will be examined and ruled an accident. Another point given if one looks at it from a different perspective and realize that alcohol is the most dangerous poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alcohol, sometimes referred by its scientific name ethanol, is a psychoactive drug and central nervous system (CNS) depressant, decreasing electrical activity of neurons in the brain. It is the second most consumed psychoactive drug globally behind caffeine, and alcohol use disorders are the most prevalent of all substance use disorders worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies alcohol as a toxic, psychoactive, dependence-producing, and carcinogenic substance. Drinking alcohol reduces alertness, awareness, among other things. Excessive drinking can lead to cancer, liver and heart diseases, mental issues, and even death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Kashima was not forced to drink, he did it on his own accord. He was brought back home drunk out of his mind, stripped of his clothing, placed into the lethally hot sauna without resistance, and was killed. Doing it this way, it reduces the risks of leaving evidence behind, and if a murder attempt goes awry, alcohol will take the blame and the case comes to an end. Conan believes that all of Mita’s horrific crimes have gone off without a hitch and evidence to be found. If the investigation continues at this rate, Sebastian may walk free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The landlord walks up and asks for Conan and Mita to leave, but Conan isn’t ready yet. When Conan considers if Mita could have removed fingerprints and remembers that he was wearing gloves, he has a stark revelation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Mita is on the phone with a friend planning to go to Italy during Golden Week when there is a ring at his front door. He opens to see Detective Harry Takagi who wishes to talk more about Kashima and his death. Though caught off guard, Mita gives an evil grin, proclaiming to himself how his best performance will prevail and get him off the hook. Conan is besides Takagi, also smiling. The intense psychological of game cat-and-mouse is about to reach its breaking point. Who will fold?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; If it was any doubts in anyone’s mind about anything regarding this gross murder case, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mita&#039;&#039;&#039; did indeed murder his boss, Ariyuki Kashima, but how his so-called perfect crime will begin crumbling before his very eyes at the hands of Conan (whom Mita has greatly underestimated up until this point) and how Mita will be caught and brought to justice to face punishment for his crime is where the real fun begins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita looks down at Conan and states that the police and forensics team is at his residence at Conan’s request. He asks Takagi if any of his fingerprints were pulled from the crime scene or near or in Kashima’s sauna. Takagi says no but something of interest was definitely found. That something is an unusual smudge, almost invisible if not for the thorough investigation. Conan confirms that Mita was indeed wearing a pair during the cherry blossom viewing at the get-together that was held at the Japanese Garden the day before. Although because he was wearing gloves, Mita’s fingerprints wasn’t pulled from the sauna switch, but he did leave something behind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular belief, wearing gloves may seem like a clever way to conceal evidence, but depending on the material, it can do more harm than good. Leather products hold their own special qualities and characteristics, almost like a human. This is due to the fact of the natural grain of leather coming from an animal’s hide, meaning it can potentially be used for identification purposes. This is true when examining high-quality leather with visible grain patterns. In some forensic investigations, the police can attempt to lift latent fingerprints from leather surfaces by using special techniques to visualize the ridge details left behind by touch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan inserts that neither Mr. Ariyuki Kashima nor Mita is innocent; both have committed crimes under the law. Ariyuki learned that Mita was embezzling money from his company. Instead of going to the authorities, Mr. Kashima blackmailed him, further fueling the deep hatred inside Mita that eventually manifested into murder. Miniature proof is that Mita was on Kashima’s computer, allegedly looking for Kashima’s address book, but he was really deleting the incriminating emails. Just because one deletes files from a computer, it doesn’t mean they went away completely. Conan states that after Mita did what he did, Conan went after him and confirmed his partial theory. Some of the emails stuck out to Conan in particular: specifically where Mita was a good standing citizen who rose up the ranks in Ariyuki’s company. He even shared aspirations of living in the suburbs, finally marrying his high school sweetheart, having children, grandchildren, and dying without regrets knowing he left a legacy that would be upheld and remembered for generations to come. Based on the heartfelt emails alone, Ariyuki saw Mita’s gentle well mannered heart for weakness and began an extremely relentless campaign in keeping Mita in check, turning Mita into a victim of blackmail, and unfortunately, a cold hearted bloodthirsty sadistic monster that’s led them to this current moment and situation. He even asked some exports on the matter and the results were astounding to say the least. If Mita had any motives for wanting Kashima dead in the worst way possible, it would be that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth of the matter is, Mita is dating a coworker in his department. That woman has said she was pushing Mr. Kashima to drink alot of alcoholic beverages at the cherry blossom viewing party. Mita had to get someone else to get Kashima liquored up to the point of no return and make him drink as much as possible. The gathering of alcohol is also calculated. It would be beneficial if someone else got it on Mita’s behalf. His girlfriend’s behavior matched the given conditions and was investigated as well. During Mita’s girlfriend’s questioning, she stated that Mita asked her to get Kashima drunk and if it was successful, he would take her on vacation to Italy, all expenses paid, just show up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita claims that there is nothing wrong with playing a harmless adult game. Also, the gloves that Takagi wants has been thrown in the incinerator due to their defectiveness and holes. Mita gives another evil grin and states that Conan’s attempts at naming him the killer was entertaining but have came up short, leaving Conan and Takagi helpless. Takagi asks Mita if he remembers pouring Detective Kogoro Mouri a beer in his cup at the garden party. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During that time, Mita was wearing his leather gloves, the &#039;&#039;very same ones&#039;&#039; from the cherry blossom party. The trash bin at the garden was full to capacity so nothing else could have been disposed of. With no other choice, that same beer can that Mita touched with his gloves went to Detective Mouri’s house and was discarded there. If the unique characteristic mark made by Mita’s leather gloves matches the mark on Kashima’s sauna switch with the beer can, then Mita’s perfect crime theory is a bust, and the link between the cherry blossom and hot sauna is therefore satisfied. He can kiss his girlfriend and his trip to Italy goodbye for the rest of his life. Mita is promptly arrested by Takagi as Conan tells him that his words held true: “when there is a detective who stands on business, there is no such thing as a perfect crime.” With Mita now in custody to face judgment for murder, Conan takes his rightfully earned victory in triumph and returns to the Mouri agency.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Intense Cold World of Murder ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan and the Detective Boys, accompanied by their teacher Ms. Koyabashi, are on a school field trip to a food factory. Disinterested, Conan listens to the Japan-Brazil soccer game on his MP3 player which is confiscated by Koyabashi. They are given a tour of the facility by employees Kashiwa and Minamoto. Minamoto abruptly leaves, forcing Kashiwa to handle the tour on her own. Before he departs, Kashiwa gives him a brown paper bag, reminding Minamoto of “that thing” they talked about yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kids are shown a movie about the factory and tour goes well and ends. Conan sneaks off to the employee lounge to watch the last minutes of the soccer game but is caught by Kashiwa. She reprimands Conan for sneaking off on his own. Conan is upset that he can’t watch the game but Kashiwa informs him that the game is over and the Brazilian team won, 3-1. An hour after the tour, and as promised for being good students, Kashiwa gives the kids ice cream. While the loud energetic children enjoy their ice cream, Kashiwa presents a small demonstration using the factory’s large walk-in freezer using another banana. She opens the door of the large walk-in freezer and, to her and the kids’ shock and horror, discover Minamoto on the floor, face up, frozen to death.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched. The exact cause of Minamoto’s death is uncertain as well as his accurate time of death due to the extreme cold conditions, but indicators point to hypothermia as he was froze solid. Minamoto was last seen alive and well at 10AM, which is the time where the tour had begun. As far as hypothermia goes, it is an involuntary drop in core body temperature that occurs during long exposure to extreme cold temperatures. Death varies due to a number of factors depending on the individual. Bright red lividy marks are found at the nape of Minamoto’s neck. The banana Kashiwa gave Minamoto before he left is found near his corpse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is determined that Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put the banana away, but everyone assumes Minamoto slipped and was stuck to the floor, until Conan discovers a pack of broken rice crackers in the victim’s chest pocket. With the given circumstances, Conan believes that someone knocked Minamoto unconscious, causing him to fall facing the front thereby breaking the rice crackers, then turned him on his back to alter the crime scene. While Kashiwa tearfully blames herself for what has happened, Conan fearfully believes that Minamoto has been murdered, and his killer went out of their way to stage it as an accident. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The security guards say no one out of the ordinary in the vicinity of the factory was seen with the exception of Conan, the Detective Boys (who are of no use in this case due to their separation from Conan), their classmates, and Ms. Koyabashi, effectively ruling out the possibility of an outsider job. Kashiwa’s weird behavior lands her on Conan’s suspect list. Furthermore, is it virtually above possible means for anyone to freeze a human body very quickly, even at -60 degrees, but one matter remains: if Kashiwa is the killer, how was she able to freeze a human being with so quickly while being surrounded with children the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a brief encounter with the factory’s owner and maid. The owner says that Minamoto had been reprimanded for slacking off at work and was on the verge of being fired for taking long excessive breaks in the lounge and bathroom. Cell phones and other electronic devices are prohibited during work hours to improve safety. After wrapping up with the boss, Conan hides from Ms. Koyabashi inside the factory’s kitchenette. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Curious, Conan looks inside the trash bin and comes across rice cracker wrappers and cola cans. The maid says Minamoto used to eat his favorite snacks which included rice crackers and a can of cola which was thrown in the garbage. She remembers Minamoto grabbing a few snacks at the beginning of the shift, but strangely enough, she believes someone else threw them in the garbage because Minamoto would have eaten all his snacks and not throw them in the garbage so hastily. After realizing Minamoto was a soccer fan, Conan understands the truth behind his death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Due to the incompetence of the local police, Conan takes matters into his own hands and solves the case. The key factor in solving this crime is to retrace and analyze the victim’s movements, work ethics, and final moments that directly led to his death. Without Kogoro or Sonoko to impersonate, or the Detective Boys to help assist, Conan goes directly for the jugular vein and handles the details of the case himself in front of everyone. Minamoto’s passing was NOT the result of a tragic workplace accident, but instead a cruel malicious murder; the culprit is his coworker, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kashiwa&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Initial Setup and Pretext Facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put inside the brown paper bag containing a banana. This was nothing more than pretext, as she needed the children she was guiding to confirm that Minamoto went into the freezer acting under a harmless favor and giving him a legitimate reason for being in there in the first place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Deadly Assault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, during her break, Kashiwa went straight to the walk-in freezer (which is where Minamoto had been at slacking off on the job), and bashed the unsuspecting Minamoto in the back of his neck near his skull with a metal cylinder, causing the rice crackers in his chest pocket to crush as he fell forward from the unprovoked assault (the bright pink mark started to form thereafter and was found on his neck from this attack). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Kill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Kashiwa proceeded to open the same cylinder, turned the still-alive but unconscious Minamoto on his back, oblivious to the rice crackers in his chest pocket, then dumped &#039;&#039;liquid nitrogen&#039;&#039; all over Minamoto‘s body, effectively freezing and killing him in a sheet of ice. The duration of the murder lasted no more than 10 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Explaination of the real murder weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic liquified gas capable of freezing human flesh almost instantly upon contact. It is a hazardous material commonly found in food factories, hospitals, and construction sites and it is primarily used for flash-freezing, food preservation, packaging, medical uses, freezing pipes, among other things. It is incredibly cold at -196 degrees Celsius, or -321 degrees Fahrenheit, and must be handled with care at all times. That was Kashiwa’s murder weapon, not the freezer itself. Liquid nitrogen expands rapidly into nitrogen gas as it warms up. If one pours enough liquid nitrogen into a sealed room to freeze a person, the gas would instantly displace all the oxygen. Even if Minamoto survived the initial freeze because of the Leidenfrost Effect, the victim would lose consciousness within seconds and die of asphyxiation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Counterintuitively, pouring liquid nitrogen onto someone who is wearing clothes is vastly more dangerous than pouring it on someone who is naked. Standard fabrics (like a cotton shirt, jeans, or cloth gloves) will instantly absorb and trap the liquid nitrogen. This holds the cryogenic liquid tightly against the skin, bypassing the Leidenfrost effect completely and causing immediate, catastrophic freezing that can require surgical amputation. Liquid nitrogen isn’t hard for Kashiwa to obtain considering the murder taking place at a food factory where it is commonly found. Kashiwa denies having any involvement in Minamoto’s murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cover-Up and Grim Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Committing the crime this way, Kashiwa made it appear that Minamoto accidentally slipped in the freezer and was there for hours. Under natural circumstances, a healthy fit human being would take anywhere between 10 minutes to just about several hours to completely freeze solid. This would undoubtedly give Kashiwa the perfect alibi as she was hoping the investigators would write off his death as a tragic accident. In reality, he was brutally murdered just minutes before the discovery of his corpse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Victim’s Habits and Miscellaneous History &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minamoto was a well-known slacker at work and often left Kashiwa to handle his duties, as such at the beginning of the tour. Kashiwa most likely told their boss that she would get him to cooperate. This is evidenced by Minamoto’s boss who had threatened termination because of his work ethics. Had Minamoto been caught inside the freezer by another random coworker, he could easily state that he was doing that favor for Kashiwa with the banana, and her plan would remain intact. Minamoto had rice crackers and cola inside the freezer and had consumed most of them. The rest were discarded by Kashiwa after she brutally murdered him to remove any trace of his laziness. The maid testifies to this as she has witnessed him indulging on his favorite snacks during work hours on multiple occasions; Minamoto would not have thrown his snacks away so easily. His reason for leaving so abruptly was because he was in a rush to watch the soccer game. Kashiwa told him that the best hiding place was the freezing unit. She would then betray Minamoto, using his laziness against him, and carry out her gruesome crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Final Whistle &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa angrily denies the allegations again made against her and ridicules the police for listening to Conan. As evidence of her crime, Conan testifies that during the encounter he had with Kashiwa while at the employee lounge, she had told him that the soccer game was over and Brazil won 3-1. In addition to witnessing Minamoto eating his favorite snacks during work hours, the maid also testifies and confirms that Minamoto was a soccer fanatic. The reason why this is extraordinarily important is because there is no way Kashiwa should have known about the final score of the soccer game considering she was in the middle of a tour. The soccer game started at 10:00AM, and ended around 11:45. This is usually the time that the final score of the game is announced along with the winner. That being said, the only way Kashiwa could have known ANYTHING regarding the soccer game is if she was in close proximity of someone who was listening to the details, who should have been working but instead decided to slack off and listen to the soccer game in the freezer.  She overheard the details of the game, then she ended Minamoto’s life in the manner described above. This is undeniable concrete evidence placing Kashiwa nowhere else in the factory but in the freezer with Minamoto. In an ironic twist of poetic justice, it is Minamoto’s own slacker lifestyle and passion for soccer that became Kashiwa’s downfall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Killer’s Confession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa, upon realizing her undoing, confesses to Minamoto’s murder. She states that she had a rough life, her parents divorced when she was young, and began getting in more trouble than the law could allow. Kashiwa says she became rebellious and started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Eventually, she got tangled up with Minamoto, who Kashiwa claims was a terrible person, but to which degree is up for interpretation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The End of an Ordeal and Final Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she regrets killing Minamoto and is ashamed that she was caught, Kashiwa states that Conan saw through everything and has a moment of deep relief. Kashiwa falls to her knees, defeated, and hugs a confused Conan tightly. She states that Conan is no regular child, that he saw through everything, and blew the metaphorical whistle on her. Kashiwa says that next time, she’ll stand guard at the goal post. Tears flow down Kashiwa’s face as she is arrested for murder.&lt;br /&gt;

== Famous Detective VS The Perfect Crime ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Kogoro, and Conan are enjoying their time viewing cherry blossoms. Kogoro claims himself to be a master detective and his deductions can cut through any deception thrown his way. Their evening is interrupted when they come across Mr. Mita, a man who proclaims that the perfect crime is possible, then goes on to say that he could pull it off. This disturbs Kogoro, Conan, Mr. Mita’s coworkers, and everyone else within earshot. His boss and the only man capable of putting an end to his shenanigans, Ariyuki Kashima, is laid out and drunk past the point of no return, having consumed massive amounts of alcohol. Conan states that the perfect crime is useless when there is a detective on the scene. Mita proclaims that it was only a joke to see how Kogoro would react. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To soothe the situation, Mita puts on a pair of black leather gloves and pours everyone another round of drinks. The garbage bin is filled to the brim with trash and Kogoro suggests just leaving the trash there, but Ran objects and decides to take their empty cans home to dispose of properly. Mita takes Ariyuki home in a cab. Conan notices that Ariyuki dropped his wallet and goes to return it, but Mita and Ariyuki have already left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving at Ariyuki’s condo, Mita reveals that he actually intends on committing the perfect crime and his selected victim is the unfortunate Ariyuki. The drunk Ariyuki is led to his condo and dragged to the back and inside a sauna room. Mita puts on another pair of leather gloves, strips Ariyuki of his clothing, even his boxer briefs, prompts him onto the wooden seat, and sets the sauna to its highest temperature possible. Before leaving, Mita forges a note and leaves the condo key in the mailbox. Mita looks back and up at Ariyuki’s condo from outside with complete arrogance and over confidence, showing no remorse and pure excitement for tomorrow’s events. In probably the most unsettling display of zero empathy or a shred of remorse, the intellectual terrifying Mita sings in absolute bliss outside Ariyuki’s condominium complex. Mita finishes his creepy musical number and walks away, hands in pocket, fading into the darkness, as Ariyuki himself dies a slow brutal death inside his sauna.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, Mita returns to Ariyuki to act surprise and concerned for his boss. To his actual dismay and genuine shock, he sees Conan making an appearance as he wants to return Ariyuki’s wallet that he dropped yesterday at the function. Mita has the building owner open the door, claiming he left important documents inside and that Ariyuki himself isn’t opening the door and not answering any calls, fearing for the worst. Once inside, they locate the note and key in the mail slot, but Conan detects a foul odor in the air coming from the back of the condo. He rushes through the condo and inside of the sauna, finds Ariyuki’s corpse, covered in gruesome burns all over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Coroner’s Office arrives on the scene and launches an investigation into Ariyuki’s death. Based on the condition of the body, it appears if he had fallen asleep in his sauna and was burned to death after he had drunk large amounts of alcohol prior at the previous function. There are no physical injuries or wounds to suggest a confrontation or struggle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks around and finds nothing out of the ordinary in various parts of the victim’s condo: the kitchen, bathroom, and trash. During his search for clues, he has an unsettling feeling of how Mita was just telling a group of people a horrific story about committing the perfect crime and yet he is at the scene of a crime of his late boss. Conan can not yet confirm if foul play is involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giving the circumstances of this case and manner of death, the dispatch of the police is left at the discretion of the medical examiner. There is nothing suspicious about Ariyuki’s corpse. The medical examiner will assume he got home after drinking with his employees, went into the sauna, fell asleep, and was burnt all over his body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, the manner of death makes perfect sense. An autopsy investigator would have no doubts. They would see Ariyuki’s death and rule it an unfortunate accident, submit the documents, all would be forgotten, and the case would be over. Conan replays the voice of Mita in his head where he asks Kogoro if the perfect crime is impossible, claiming he feels he can do it. With virtually no clue or evidence to be found, Conan wonders if Ariyuki Kashima’s gruesome death is the result of a gross accident, or if really a murder, how can it be proven?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan continues to apply pressure to Mr Mita who he believes to have viciously murdered his employer, Ariyuki Kashima. Mita is on Ariyuki’s computer, apparently deleting files. Conan tricks Mita into leaving the computer to search for a phone in Ariyuki’s coat pocket. When he returns, Mita, developing a dark demeanor, menacingly asks Conan on his actions. Conan does not back down and voices his theory: Ariyuki Kashima may have been murdered. This locks Conan and Mita into an intense psychological battle of cat-and-mouse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan does not denounce the facts that Ariyuki was indeed drunk to the point where he needed support from others. It is just odd that he would strip from his clothing, go into the sauna, and fall asleep. Ariyuki wasn’t force to drink massive amounts of alcohol against his will. He wasn’t attacked as there were no bruises, cuts, or abrasions on his physical body with the exception of the fatal burns. Suspicious enough, Ariyuki’s cell phone wasn’t nearby, despite being home. Most people would keep their cell phones nearby in case of work, an emergency, or a need to call for help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita has once stated that the perfect crime was possible but he counters saying that stating something isn’t the same as doing it. Conan adds that Ariyuki came home but didn’t drink any water, a move most drunk people do in an attempt to sober up. There was no signs of any movement inside the kitchen, refrigerator, or trash bin to indicate that Ariyuki consumed any beverage before he was killed. Mita feels Conan’s growing confidence and begins to appreciate the challenge Conan brings to the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan begins to understand Mita on what he meant by “the perfect crime.” The key points he was talking about were: one, meeting the victim, two, using what is available at home, and in Mr. Kashima’s case, a sauna, third, never use force to minimize leaving unnecessary clues behind. Even if these fail, wait for the next opportunity. When all conditions are met, everything will be examined and ruled an accident. Another point given if one looks at it from a different perspective and realize that alcohol is the most dangerous poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alcohol, sometimes referred by its scientific name ethanol, is a psychoactive drug and central nervous system (CNS) depressant, decreasing electrical activity of neurons in the brain. It is the second most consumed psychoactive drug globally behind caffeine, and alcohol use disorders are the most prevalent of all substance use disorders worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies alcohol as a toxic, psychoactive, dependence-producing, and carcinogenic substance. Drinking alcohol reduces alertness, awareness, among other things. Excessive drinking can lead to cancer, liver and heart diseases, mental issues, and even death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Kashima was not forced to drink, he did it on his own accord. He was brought back home drunk out of his mind, stripped of his clothing, placed into the lethally hot sauna without resistance, and was killed. Doing it this way, it reduces the risks of leaving evidence behind, and if a murder attempt goes awry, alcohol will take the blame and the case comes to an end. Conan believes that all of Mita’s horrific crimes have gone off without a hitch and evidence to be found. If the investigation continues at this rate, Sebastian may walk free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The landlord walks up and asks for Conan and Mita to leave, but Conan isn’t ready yet. When Conan considers if Mita could have removed fingerprints and remembers that he was wearing gloves, he has a stark revelation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Mita is on the phone with a friend planning to go to Italy during Golden Week when there is a ring at his front door. He opens to see Detective Harry Takagi who wishes to talk more about Kashima and his death. Though caught off guard, Mita gives an evil grin, proclaiming to himself how his best performance will prevail and get him off the hook. Conan is besides Takagi, also smiling. The intense psychological of game cat-and-mouse is about to reach its breaking point. Who will fold?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; If it was any doubts in anyone’s mind about anything regarding this gross murder case, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mita&#039;&#039;&#039; did indeed murder his boss, Ariyuki Kashima, but how his so-called perfect crime will begin crumbling before his very eyes at the hands of Conan (whom Mita has greatly underestimated up until this point) and how Mita will be caught and brought to justice to face punishment for his crime is where the real fun begins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita looks down at Conan and states that the police and forensics team is at his residence at Conan’s request. He asks Takagi if any of his fingerprints were pulled from the crime scene or near or in Kashima’s sauna. Takagi says no but something of interest was definitely found. That something is an unusual smudge, almost invisible if not for the thorough investigation. Conan confirms that Mita was indeed wearing a pair during the cherry blossom viewing at the get-together that was held at the Japanese Garden the day before. Although because he was wearing gloves, Mita’s fingerprints wasn’t pulled from the sauna switch, but he did leave something behind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular belief, wearing gloves may seem like a clever way to conceal evidence, but depending on the material, it can do more harm than good. Leather products hold their own special qualities and characteristics, almost like a human. This is due to the fact of the natural grain of leather coming from an animal’s hide, meaning it can potentially be used for identification purposes. This is true when examining high-quality leather with visible grain patterns. In some forensic investigations, the police can attempt to lift latent fingerprints from leather surfaces by using special techniques to visualize the ridge details left behind by touch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan inserts that neither Mr. Ariyuki Kashima nor Mita is innocent; both have committed crimes under the law. Ariyuki learned that Mita was embezzling money from his company. Instead of going to the authorities, Mr. Kashima blackmailed him, further fueling the deep hatred inside Mita that eventually manifested into murder. Miniature proof is that Mita was on Kashima’s computer, allegedly looking for Kashima’s address book, but he was really deleting the incriminating emails. Just because one deletes files from a computer, it doesn’t mean they went away completely. Conan states that after Mita did what he did, Conan went after him and confirmed his partial theory. Some of the emails stuck out to Conan in particular: specifically where Mita was a good standing citizen who rose up the ranks in Ariyuki’s company. He even shared aspirations of living in the suburbs, finally marrying his high school sweetheart, having children, grandchildren, and dying without regrets knowing he left a legacy that would be upheld and remembered for generations to come. Based on the heartfelt emails alone, Ariyuki saw Mita’s gentle well mannered heart for weakness and began an extremely relentless campaign in keeping Mita in check, turning Mita into a victim of blackmail, and unfortunately, a cold hearted bloodthirsty sadistic monster that’s led them to this current moment and situation. He even asked some exports on the matter and the results were astounding to say the least. If Mita had any motives for wanting Kashima dead in the worst way possible, it would be that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth of the matter is, Mita is dating a coworker in his department. That woman has said she was pushing Mr. Kashima to drink alot of alcoholic beverages at the cherry blossom viewing party. Mita had to get someone else to get Kashima liquored up to the point of no return and make him drink as much as possible. The gathering of alcohol is also calculated. It would be beneficial if someone else got it on Mita’s behalf. His girlfriend’s behavior matched the given conditions and was investigated as well. During Mita’s girlfriend’s questioning, she stated that Mita asked her to get Kashima drunk and if it was successful, he would take her on vacation to Italy, all expenses paid, just show up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita claims that there is nothing wrong with playing a harmless adult game. Also, the gloves that Takagi wants has been thrown in the incinerator due to their defectiveness and holes. Mita gives another evil grin and states that Conan’s attempts at naming him the killer was entertaining but have came up short, leaving Conan and Takagi helpless. Takagi asks Mita if he remembers pouring Detective Kogoro Mouri a beer in his cup at the garden party. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During that time, Mita was wearing his leather gloves, the &#039;&#039;very same ones&#039;&#039; from the cherry blossom party. The trash bin at the garden was full to capacity so nothing else could have been disposed of. With no other choice, that same beer can that Mita touched with his gloves went to Detective Mouri’s house and was discarded there. If the unique characteristic mark made by Mita’s leather gloves matches the mark on Kashima’s sauna switch with the beer can, then Mita’s perfect crime theory is a bust, and the link between the cherry blossom and hot sauna is therefore satisfied. He can kiss his girlfriend and his trip to Italy goodbye for the rest of his life. Mita is promptly arrested by Takagi as Conan tells him that his words held true: “when there is a detective who stands on business, there is no such thing as a perfect crime.” With Mita now in custody to face judgment for murder, Conan takes his rightfully earned victory in triumph and returns to the Mouri agency.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Intense Cold World of Murder ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan and the Detective Boys, accompanied by their teacher Ms. Koyabashi, are on a school field trip to a food factory. Disinterested, Conan listens to the Japan-Brazil soccer game on his MP3 player which is confiscated by Koyabashi. They are given a tour of the facility by employees Kashiwa and Minamoto. Minamoto abruptly leaves, forcing Kashiwa to handle the tour on her own. Before he departs, Kashiwa gives him a brown paper bag, reminding Minamoto of “that thing” they talked about yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kids are shown a movie about the factory and tour goes well and ends. Conan sneaks off to the employee lounge to watch the last minutes of the soccer game but is caught by Kashiwa. She reprimands Conan for sneaking off on his own. Conan is upset that he can’t watch the game but Kashiwa informs him that the game is over and the Brazilian team won, 3-1. An hour after the tour, and as promised for being good students, Kashiwa gives the kids ice cream. While the loud energetic children enjoy their ice cream, Kashiwa presents a small demonstration using the factory’s large walk-in freezer using another banana. She opens the door of the large walk-in freezer and, to her and the kids’ shock and horror, discover Minamoto on the floor, face up, frozen to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched. The exact cause of Minamoto’s death is uncertain as well as his accurate time of death due to the extreme cold conditions, but indicators point to hypothermia as he was froze solid. Minamoto was last seen alive and well at 10AM, which is the time where the tour had begun. As far as hypothermia goes, it is an involuntary drop in core body temperature that occurs during long exposure to extreme cold temperatures. Death varies due to a number of factors depending on the individual. Bright red lividy marks are found at the nape of Minamoto’s neck. The banana Kashiwa gave Minamoto before he left is found near his corpse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is determined that Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put the banana away, but everyone assumes Minamoto slipped and was stuck to the floor, until Conan discovers a pack of broken rice crackers in the victim’s chest pocket. With the given circumstances, Conan believes that someone knocked Minamoto unconscious, causing him to fall facing the front thereby breaking the rice crackers, then turned him on his back to alter the crime scene. While Kashiwa tearfully blames herself for what has happened, Conan fearfully believes that Minamoto has been murdered, and his killer went out of their way to stage it as an accident. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The security guards say no one out of the ordinary in the vicinity of the factory was seen with the exception of Conan, the Detective Boys (who are of no use in this case due to their separation from Conan), their classmates, and Ms. Koyabashi, effectively ruling out the possibility of an outsider job. Kashiwa’s weird behavior lands her on Conan’s suspect list. Furthermore, is it virtually above possible means for anyone to freeze a human body very quickly, even at -60 degrees, but one matter remains: if Kashiwa is the killer, how was she able to freeze a human being with so quickly while being surrounded with children the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a brief encounter with the factory’s owner and maid. The owner says that Minamoto had been reprimanded for slacking off at work and was on the verge of being fired for taking long excessive breaks in the lounge and bathroom. Cell phones and other electronic devices are prohibited during work hours to improve safety. After wrapping up with the boss, Conan hides from Ms. Koyabashi inside the factory’s kitchenette. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Curious, Conan looks inside the trash bin and comes across rice cracker wrappers and cola cans. The maid says Minamoto used to eat his favorite snacks which included rice crackers and a can of cola which was thrown in the garbage. She remembers Minamoto grabbing a few snacks at the beginning of the shift, but strangely enough, she believes someone else threw them in the garbage because Minamoto would have eaten all his snacks and not throw them in the garbage so hastily. After realizing Minamoto was a soccer fan, Conan understands the truth behind his death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Due to the incompetence of the local police, Conan takes matters into his own hands and solves the case. The key factor in solving this crime is to retrace and analyze the victim’s movements, work ethics, and final moments that directly led to his death. Without Kogoro or Sonoko to impersonate, or the Detective Boys to help assist, Conan goes directly for the jugular vein and handles the details of the case himself in front of everyone. Minamoto’s passing was NOT the result of a tragic workplace accident, but instead a cruel malicious murder; the culprit is his coworker, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kashiwa&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Initial Setup and Pretext Facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put inside the brown paper bag containing a banana. This was nothing more than pretext, as she needed the children she was guiding to confirm that Minamoto went into the freezer acting under a harmless favor and giving him a legitimate reason for being in there in the first place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Deadly Assault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, during her break, Kashiwa went straight to the walk-in freezer (which is where Minamoto had been at slacking off on the job), and bashed the unsuspecting Minamoto in the back of his neck near his skull with a metal cylinder, causing the rice crackers in his chest pocket to crush as he fell forward from the unprovoked assault (the bright pink mark started to form thereafter and was found on his neck from this attack). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Kill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Kashiwa proceeded to open the same cylinder, turned the still-alive but unconscious Minamoto on his back, oblivious to the rice crackers in his chest pocket, then dumped &#039;&#039;liquid nitrogen&#039;&#039; all over Minamoto‘s body, effectively freezing and killing him in a sheet of ice. The duration of the murder lasted no more than 10 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Explaination of the real murder weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic liquified gas capable of freezing human flesh almost instantly upon contact. It is a hazardous material commonly found in food factories, hospitals, and construction sites and it is primarily used for flash-freezing, food preservation, packaging, medical uses, freezing pipes, among other things. It is incredibly cold at -196 degrees Celsius, or -321 degrees Fahrenheit, and must be handled with care at all times. That was Kashiwa’s murder weapon, not the freezer itself. Liquid nitrogen expands rapidly into nitrogen gas as it warms up. If one pours enough liquid nitrogen into a sealed room to freeze a person, the gas would instantly displace all the oxygen. Even if Minamoto survived the initial freeze because of the Leidenfrost Effect, the victim would lose consciousness within seconds and die of asphyxiation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Counterintuitively, pouring liquid nitrogen onto someone who is wearing clothes is vastly more dangerous than pouring it on someone who is naked. Standard fabrics (like a cotton shirt, jeans, or cloth gloves) will instantly absorb and trap the liquid nitrogen. This holds the cryogenic liquid tightly against the skin, bypassing the Leidenfrost effect completely and causing immediate, catastrophic freezing that can require surgical amputation. Liquid nitrogen isn’t hard for Kashiwa to obtain considering the murder taking place at a food factory where it is commonly found. Kashiwa denies having any involvement in Minamoto’s murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cover-Up and Grim Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Committing the crime this way, Kashiwa made it appear that Minamoto accidentally slipped in the freezer and was there for hours. Under natural circumstances, a healthy fit human being would take anywhere between 10 minutes to just about several hours to completely freeze solid. This would undoubtedly give Kashiwa the perfect alibi as she was hoping the investigators would write off his death as a tragic accident. In reality, he was brutally murdered just minutes before the discovery of his corpse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Victim’s Habits and Miscellaneous History &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minamoto was a well-known slacker at work and often left Kashiwa to handle his duties, as such at the beginning of the tour. Kashiwa most likely told their boss that she would get him to cooperate. This is evidenced by Minamoto’s boss who had threatened termination because of his work ethics. Had Minamoto been caught inside the freezer by another random coworker, he could easily state that he was doing that favor for Kashiwa with the banana, and her plan would remain intact. Minamoto had rice crackers and cola inside the freezer and had consumed most of them. The rest were discarded by Kashiwa after she brutally murdered him to remove any trace of his laziness. The maid testifies to this as she has witnessed him indulging on his favorite snacks during work hours on multiple occasions; Minamoto would not have thrown his snacks away so easily. His reason for leaving so abruptly was because he was in a rush to watch the soccer game. Kashiwa told him that the best hiding place was the freezing unit. She would then betray Minamoto, using his laziness against him, and carry out her gruesome crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Final Whistle &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa angrily denies the allegations again made against her and ridicules the police for listening to Conan. As evidence of her crime, Conan testifies that during the encounter he had with Kashiwa while at the employee lounge, she had told him that the soccer game was over and Brazil won 3-1. In addition to witnessing Minamoto eating his favorite snacks during work hours, the maid also testifies and confirms that Minamoto was a soccer fanatic. The reason why this is extraordinarily important is because there is no way Kashiwa should have known about the final score of the soccer game considering she was in the middle of a tour. The soccer game started at 10:00AM, and ended around 11:45. This is usually the time that the final score of the game is announced along with the winner. That being said, the only way Kashiwa could have known ANYTHING regarding the soccer game is if she was in close proximity of someone who was listening to the details, who should have been working but instead decided to slack off and listen to the soccer game in the freezer.  She overheard the details of the game, then she ended Minamoto’s life in the manner described above. This is undeniable concrete evidence placing Kashiwa nowhere else in the factory but in the freezer with Minamoto. In an ironic twist of poetic justice, it is Minamoto’s own slacker lifestyle and passion for soccer that became Kashiwa’s downfall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Killer’s Confession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa, upon realizing her undoing, confesses to Minamoto’s murder. She states that she had a rough life, her parents divorced when she was young, and began getting in more trouble than the law could allow. Kashiwa says she became rebellious and started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Eventually, she got tangled up with Minamoto, who Kashiwa claims was a terrible person, but to which degree is up for interpretation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The End of an Ordeal and Final Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she regrets killing Minamoto and is ashamed that she was caught, Kashiwa states that Conan saw through everything and has a moment of deep relief. Kashiwa falls to her knees, defeated, and hugs a confused Conan tightly. She states that Conan is no regular child, that he saw through everything, and blew the metaphorical whistle on her. Kashiwa says that next time, she’ll stand guard at the goal post. Tears flow down Kashiwa’s face as she is arrested for murder.&lt;br /&gt;

== Famous Detective VS The Perfect Crime ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Kogoro, and Conan are enjoying their time viewing cherry blossoms. Kogoro claims himself to be a master detective and his deductions can cut through any deception thrown his way. Their evening is interrupted when they come across Mr. Mita, a man who proclaims that the perfect crime is possible, then goes on to say that he could pull it off. This disturbs Kogoro, Conan, Mr. Mita’s coworkers, and everyone else within earshot. His boss and the only man capable of putting an end to his shenanigans, Ariyuki Kashima, is laid out and drunk past the point of no return, having consumed massive amounts of alcohol. Conan states that the perfect crime is useless when there is a detective on the scene. Mita proclaims that it was only a joke to see how Kogoro would react. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To soothe the situation, Mita puts on a pair of black leather gloves and pours everyone another round of drinks. The garbage bin is filled to the brim with trash and Kogoro suggests just leaving the trash there, but Ran objects and decides to take their empty cans home to dispose of properly. Mita takes Ariyuki home in a cab. Conan notices that Ariyuki dropped his wallet and goes to return it, but Mita and Ariyuki have already left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving at Ariyuki’s condo, Mita reveals that he actually intends on committing the perfect crime and his selected victim is the unfortunate Ariyuki. The drunk Ariyuki is led to his condo and dragged to the back and inside a sauna room. Mita puts on another pair of leather gloves, strips Ariyuki of his clothing, even his boxer briefs, prompts him onto the wooden seat, and sets the sauna to its highest temperature possible. Before leaving, Mita forges a note and leaves the condo key in the mailbox. Mita looks back and up at Ariyuki’s condo from outside with complete arrogance and over confidence, showing no remorse and pure excitement for tomorrow’s events. In probably the most unsettling display of zero empathy or a shred of remorse, the intellectual terrifying Mira sings in absolute bliss outside Ariyuki’s condominium complex as Ariyuki himself dies a slow brutal death inside his sauna. Mita finishes his creepy musical number and walks away, hands in pocket, fading into the darkness. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, Mita returns to Ariyuki to act surprise and concerned for his boss. To his actual dismay and genuine shock, he sees Conan making an appearance as he wants to return Ariyuki’s wallet that he dropped yesterday at the function. Mita has the building owner open the door, claiming he left important documents inside and that Ariyuki himself isn’t opening the door and not answering any calls, fearing for the worst. Once inside, they locate the note and key in the mail slot, but Conan detects a foul odor in the air coming from the back of the condo. He rushes through the condo and inside of the sauna, finds Ariyuki’s corpse, covered in gruesome burns all over.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Coroner’s Office arrives on the scene and launches an investigation into Ariyuki’s death. Based on the condition of the body, it appears if he had fallen asleep in his sauna and was burned to death after he had drunk large amounts of alcohol prior at the previous function. There are no physical injuries or wounds to suggest a confrontation or struggle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks around and finds nothing out of the ordinary in various parts of the victim’s condo: the kitchen, bathroom, and trash. During his search for clues, he has an unsettling feeling of how Mita was just telling a group of people a horrific story about committing the perfect crime and yet he is at the scene of a crime of his late boss. Conan can not yet confirm if foul play is involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giving the circumstances of this case and manner of death, the dispatch of the police is left at the discretion of the medical examiner. There is nothing suspicious about Ariyuki’s corpse. The medical examiner will assume he got home after drinking with his employees, went into the sauna, fell asleep, and was burnt all over his body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, the manner of death makes perfect sense. An autopsy investigator would have no doubts. They would see Ariyuki’s death and rule it an unfortunate accident, submit the documents, all would be forgotten, and the case would be over. Conan replays the voice of Mita in his head where he asks Kogoro if the perfect crime is impossible, claiming he feels he can do it. With virtually no clue or evidence to be found, Conan wonders if Ariyuki Kashima’s gruesome death is the result of a gross accident, or if really a murder, how can it be proven?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan continues to apply pressure to Mr Mita who he believes to have viciously murdered his employer, Ariyuki Kashima. Mita is on Ariyuki’s computer, apparently deleting files. Conan tricks Mita into leaving the computer to search for a phone in Ariyuki’s coat pocket. When he returns, Mita, developing a dark demeanor, menacingly asks Conan on his actions. Conan does not back down and voices his theory: Ariyuki Kashima may have been murdered. This locks Conan and Mita into an intense psychological battle of cat-and-mouse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan does not denounce the facts that Ariyuki was indeed drunk to the point where he needed support from others. It is just odd that he would strip from his clothing, go into the sauna, and fall asleep. Ariyuki wasn’t force to drink massive amounts of alcohol against his will. He wasn’t attacked as there were no bruises, cuts, or abrasions on his physical body with the exception of the fatal burns. Suspicious enough, Ariyuki’s cell phone wasn’t nearby, despite being home. Most people would keep their cell phones nearby in case of work, an emergency, or a need to call for help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita has once stated that the perfect crime was possible but he counters saying that stating something isn’t the same as doing it. Conan adds that Ariyuki came home but didn’t drink any water, a move most drunk people do in an attempt to sober up. There was no signs of any movement inside the kitchen, refrigerator, or trash bin to indicate that Ariyuki consumed any beverage before he was killed. Mita feels Conan’s growing confidence and begins to appreciate the challenge Conan brings to the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan begins to understand Mita on what he meant by “the perfect crime.” The key points he was talking about were: one, meeting the victim, two, using what is available at home, and in Mr. Kashima’s case, a sauna, third, never use force to minimize leaving unnecessary clues behind. Even if these fail, wait for the next opportunity. When all conditions are met, everything will be examined and ruled an accident. Another point given if one looks at it from a different perspective and realize that alcohol is the most dangerous poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alcohol, sometimes referred by its scientific name ethanol, is a psychoactive drug and central nervous system (CNS) depressant, decreasing electrical activity of neurons in the brain. It is the second most consumed psychoactive drug globally behind caffeine, and alcohol use disorders are the most prevalent of all substance use disorders worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies alcohol as a toxic, psychoactive, dependence-producing, and carcinogenic substance. Drinking alcohol reduces alertness, awareness, among other things. Excessive drinking can lead to cancer, liver and heart diseases, mental issues, and even death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Kashima was not forced to drink, he did it on his own accord. He was brought back home drunk out of his mind, stripped of his clothing, placed into the lethally hot sauna without resistance, and was killed. Doing it this way, it reduces the risks of leaving evidence behind, and if a murder attempt goes awry, alcohol will take the blame and the case comes to an end. Conan believes that all of Mita’s horrific crimes have gone off without a hitch and evidence to be found. If the investigation continues at this rate, Sebastian may walk free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The landlord walks up and asks for Conan and Mita to leave, but Conan isn’t ready yet. When Conan considers if Mita could have removed fingerprints and remembers that he was wearing gloves, he has a stark revelation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Mita is on the phone with a friend planning to go to Italy during Golden Week when there is a ring at his front door. He opens to see Detective Harry Takagi who wishes to talk more about Kashima and his death. Though caught off guard, Mita gives an evil grin, proclaiming to himself how his best performance will prevail and get him off the hook. Conan is besides Takagi, also smiling. The intense psychological of game cat-and-mouse is about to reach its breaking point. Who will fold?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; If it was any doubts in anyone’s mind about anything regarding this gross murder case, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mita&#039;&#039;&#039; did indeed murder his boss, Ariyuki Kashima, but how his so-called perfect crime will begin crumbling before his very eyes at the hands of Conan (whom Mita has greatly underestimated up until this point) and how Mita will be caught and brought to justice to face punishment for his crime is where the real fun begins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita looks down at Conan and states that the police and forensics team is at his residence at Conan’s request. He asks Takagi if any of his fingerprints were pulled from the crime scene or near or in Kashima’s sauna. Takagi says no but something of interest was definitely found. That something is an unusual smudge, almost invisible if not for the thorough investigation. Conan confirms that Mita was indeed wearing a pair during the cherry blossom viewing at the get-together that was held at the Japanese Garden the day before. Although because he was wearing gloves, Mita’s fingerprints wasn’t pulled from the sauna switch, but he did leave something behind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular belief, wearing gloves may seem like a clever way to conceal evidence, but depending on the material, it can do more harm than good. Leather products hold their own special qualities and characteristics, almost like a human. This is due to the fact of the natural grain of leather coming from an animal’s hide, meaning it can potentially be used for identification purposes. This is true when examining high-quality leather with visible grain patterns. In some forensic investigations, the police can attempt to lift latent fingerprints from leather surfaces by using special techniques to visualize the ridge details left behind by touch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan inserts that neither Mr. Ariyuki Kashima nor Mita is innocent; both have committed crimes under the law. Ariyuki learned that Mita was embezzling money from his company. Instead of going to the authorities, Mr. Kashima blackmailed him, further fueling the deep hatred inside Mita that eventually manifested into murder. Miniature proof is that Mita was on Kashima’s computer, allegedly looking for Kashima’s address book, but he was really deleting the incriminating emails. Just because one deletes files from a computer, it doesn’t mean they went away completely. Conan states that after Mita did what he did, Conan went after him and confirmed his partial theory. Some of the emails stuck out to Conan in particular: specifically where Mita was a good standing citizen who rose up the ranks in Ariyuki’s company. He even shared aspirations of living in the suburbs, finally marrying his high school sweetheart, having children, grandchildren, and dying without regrets knowing he left a legacy that would be upheld and remembered for generations to come. Based on the heartfelt emails alone, Ariyuki saw Mita’s gentle well mannered heart for weakness and began an extremely relentless campaign in keeping Mita in check, turning Mita into a victim of blackmail, and unfortunately, a cold hearted bloodthirsty sadistic monster that’s led them to this current moment and situation. He even asked some exports on the matter and the results were astounding to say the least. If Mita had any motives for wanting Kashima dead in the worst way possible, it would be that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth of the matter is, Mita is dating a coworker in his department. That woman has said she was pushing Mr. Kashima to drink alot of alcoholic beverages at the cherry blossom viewing party. Mita had to get someone else to get Kashima liquored up to the point of no return and make him drink as much as possible. The gathering of alcohol is also calculated. It would be beneficial if someone else got it on Mita’s behalf. His girlfriend’s behavior matched the given conditions and was investigated as well. During Mita’s girlfriend’s questioning, she stated that Mita asked her to get Kashima drunk and if it was successful, he would take her on vacation to Italy, all expenses paid, just show up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita claims that there is nothing wrong with playing a harmless adult game. Also, the gloves that Takagi wants has been thrown in the incinerator due to their defectiveness and holes. Mita gives another evil grin and states that Conan’s attempts at naming him the killer was entertaining but have came up short, leaving Conan and Takagi helpless. Takagi asks Mita if he remembers pouring Detective Kogoro Mouri a beer in his cup at the garden party. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During that time, Mita was wearing his leather gloves, the &#039;&#039;very same ones&#039;&#039; from the cherry blossom party. The trash bin at the garden was full to capacity so nothing else could have been disposed of. With no other choice, that same beer can that Mita touched with his gloves went to Detective Mouri’s house and was discarded there. If the unique characteristic mark made by Mita’s leather gloves matches the mark on Kashima’s sauna switch with the beer can, then Mita’s perfect crime theory is a bust, and the link between the cherry blossom and hot sauna is therefore satisfied. He can kiss his girlfriend and his trip to Italy goodbye for the rest of his life. Mita is promptly arrested by Takagi as Conan tells him that his words held true: “when there is a detective who stands on business, there is no such thing as a perfect crime.” With Mita now in custody to face judgment for murder, Conan takes his rightfully earned victory in triumph and returns to the Mouri agency.&lt;br /&gt;

== The Intense Cold World of Murder ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan and the Detective Boys, accompanied by their teacher Ms. Koyabashi, are on a school field trip to a food factory. Disinterested, Conan listens to the Japan-Brazil soccer game on his MP3 player which is confiscated by Koyabashi. They are given a tour of the facility by employees Kashiwa and Minamoto. Minamoto abruptly leaves, forcing Kashiwa to handle the tour on her own. Before he departs, Kashiwa gives him a brown paper bag, reminding Minamoto of “that thing” they talked about yesterday. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The kids are shown a movie about the factory and tour goes well and ends. Conan sneaks off to the employee lounge to watch the last minutes of the soccer game but is caught by Kashiwa. She reprimands Conan for sneaking off on his own. Conan is upset that he can’t watch the game but Kashiwa informs him that the game is over and the Brazilian team won, 3-1. An hour after the tour, and as promised for being good students, Kashiwa gives the kids ice cream. While the loud energetic children enjoy their ice cream, Kashiwa presents a small demonstration using the factory’s large walk-in freezer using another banana. She opens the door of the large walk-in freezer and, to her and the kids’ shock and horror, discover Minamoto on the floor, face up, frozen to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched. The exact cause of Minamoto’s death is uncertain as well as his accurate time of death due to the extreme cold conditions, but indicators point to hypothermia as he was froze solid. Minamoto was last seen alive and well at 10AM, which is the time where the tour had begun. As far as hypothermia goes, it is an involuntary drop in core body temperature that occurs during long exposure to extreme cold temperatures. Death varies due to a number of factors depending on the individual. Bright red lividy marks are found at the nape of Minamoto’s neck. The banana Kashiwa gave Minamoto before he left is found near his corpse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is determined that Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put the banana away, but everyone assumes Minamoto slipped and was stuck to the floor, until Conan discovers a pack of broken rice crackers in the victim’s chest pocket. With the given circumstances, Conan believes that someone knocked Minamoto unconscious, causing him to fall facing the front thereby breaking the rice crackers, then turned him on his back to alter the crime scene. While Kashiwa tearfully blames herself for what has happened, Conan fearfully believes that Minamoto has been murdered, and his killer went out of their way to stage it as an accident. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The security guards say no one out of the ordinary in the vicinity of the factory was seen with the exception of Conan, the Detective Boys (who are of no use in this case due to their separation from Conan), their classmates, and Ms. Koyabashi, effectively ruling out the possibility of an outsider job. Kashiwa’s weird behavior lands her on Conan’s suspect list. Furthermore, is it virtually above possible means for anyone to freeze a human body very quickly, even at -60 degrees, but one matter remains: if Kashiwa is the killer, how was she able to freeze a human being with so quickly while being surrounded with children the entire time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a brief encounter with the factory’s owner and maid. The owner says that Minamoto had been reprimanded for slacking off at work and was on the verge of being fired for taking long excessive breaks in the lounge and bathroom. Cell phones and other electronic devices are prohibited during work hours to improve safety. After wrapping up with the boss, Conan hides from Ms. Koyabashi inside the factory’s kitchenette. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Curious, Conan looks inside the trash bin and comes across rice cracker wrappers and cola cans. The maid says Minamoto used to eat his favorite snacks which included rice crackers and a can of cola which was thrown in the garbage. She remembers Minamoto grabbing a few snacks at the beginning of the shift, but strangely enough, she believes someone else threw them in the garbage because Minamoto would have eaten all his snacks and not throw them in the garbage so hastily. After realizing Minamoto was a soccer fan, Conan understands the truth behind his death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Due to the incompetence of the local police, Conan takes matters into his own hands and solves the case. The key factor in solving this crime is to retrace and analyze the victim’s movements, work ethics, and final moments that directly led to his death. Without Kogoro or Sonoko to impersonate, or the Detective Boys to help assist, Conan goes directly for the jugular vein and handles the details of the case himself in front of everyone. Minamoto’s passing was NOT the result of a tragic workplace accident, but instead a cruel malicious murder; the culprit is his coworker, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kashiwa&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Initial Setup and Pretext Facts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
First, Kashiwa sent Minamoto to the freezer to put inside the brown paper bag containing a banana. This was nothing more than pretext, as she needed the children she was guiding to confirm that Minamoto went into the freezer acting under a harmless favor and giving him a legitimate reason for being in there in the first place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Deadly Assault.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Secondly, during her break, Kashiwa went straight to the walk-in freezer (which is where Minamoto had been at slacking off on the job), and bashed the unsuspecting Minamoto in the back of his neck near his skull with a metal cylinder, causing the rice crackers in his chest pocket to crush as he fell forward from the unprovoked assault (the bright pink mark started to form thereafter and was found on his neck from this attack). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Kill.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Kashiwa proceeded to open the same cylinder, turned the still-alive but unconscious Minamoto on his back, oblivious to the rice crackers in his chest pocket, then dumped &#039;&#039;liquid nitrogen&#039;&#039; all over Minamoto‘s body, effectively freezing and killing him in a sheet of ice. The duration of the murder lasted no more than 10 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Explaination of the real murder weapon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liquid nitrogen is a cryogenic liquified gas capable of freezing human flesh almost instantly upon contact. It is a hazardous material commonly found in food factories, hospitals, and construction sites and it is primarily used for flash-freezing, food preservation, packaging, medical uses, freezing pipes, among other things. It is incredibly cold at -196 degrees Celsius, or -321 degrees Fahrenheit, and must be handled with care at all times. That was Kashiwa’s murder weapon, not the freezer itself. Liquid nitrogen expands rapidly into nitrogen gas as it warms up. If one pours enough liquid nitrogen into a sealed room to freeze a person, the gas would instantly displace all the oxygen. Even if Minamoto survived the initial freeze because of the Leidenfrost Effect, the victim would lose consciousness within seconds and die of asphyxiation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Counterintuitively, pouring liquid nitrogen onto someone who is wearing clothes is vastly more dangerous than pouring it on someone who is naked. Standard fabrics (like a cotton shirt, jeans, or cloth gloves) will instantly absorb and trap the liquid nitrogen. This holds the cryogenic liquid tightly against the skin, bypassing the Leidenfrost effect completely and causing immediate, catastrophic freezing that can require surgical amputation. Liquid nitrogen isn’t hard for Kashiwa to obtain considering the murder taking place at a food factory where it is commonly found. Kashiwa denies having any involvement in Minamoto’s murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Cover-Up and Grim Reality&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Committing the crime this way, Kashiwa made it appear that Minamoto accidentally slipped in the freezer and was there for hours. Under natural circumstances, a healthy fit human being would take anywhere between 10 minutes to just about several hours to completely freeze solid. This would undoubtedly give Kashiwa the perfect alibi as she was hoping the investigators would write off his death as a tragic accident. In reality, he was brutally murdered just minutes before the discovery of his corpse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Victim’s Habits and Miscellaneous History &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minamoto was a well-known slacker at work and often left Kashiwa to handle his duties, as such at the beginning of the tour. Kashiwa most likely told their boss that she would get him to cooperate. This is evidenced by Minamoto’s boss who had threatened termination because of his work ethics. Had Minamoto been caught inside the freezer by another random coworker, he could easily state that he was doing that favor for Kashiwa with the banana, and her plan would remain intact. Minamoto had rice crackers and cola inside the freezer and had consumed most of them. The rest were discarded by Kashiwa after she brutally murdered him to remove any trace of his laziness. The maid testifies to this as she has witnessed him indulging on his favorite snacks during work hours on multiple occasions; Minamoto would not have thrown his snacks away so easily. His reason for leaving so abruptly was because he was in a rush to watch the soccer game. Kashiwa told him that the best hiding place was the freezing unit. She would then betray Minamoto, using his laziness against him, and carry out her gruesome crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Final Whistle &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa angrily denies the allegations again made against her and ridicules the police for listening to Conan. As evidence of her crime, Conan testifies that during the encounter he had with Kashiwa while at the employee lounge, she had told him that the soccer game was over and Brazil won 3-1. In addition to witnessing Minamoto eating his favorite snacks during work hours, the maid also testifies and confirms that Minamoto was a soccer fanatic. The reason why this is extraordinarily important is because there is no way Kashiwa should have known about the final score of the soccer game considering she was in the middle of a tour. The soccer game started at 10:00AM, and ended around 11:45. This is usually the time that the final score of the game is announced along with the winner. That being said, the only way Kashiwa could have known ANYTHING regarding the soccer game is if she was in close proximity of someone who was listening to the details, who should have been working but instead decided to slack off and listen to the soccer game in the freezer.  She overheard the details of the game, then she ended Minamoto’s life in the manner described above. This is undeniable concrete evidence placing Kashiwa nowhere else in the factory but in the freezer with Minamoto. In an ironic twist of poetic justice, it is Minamoto’s own slacker lifestyle and passion for soccer that became Kashiwa’s downfall. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Killer’s Confession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kashiwa, upon realizing her undoing, confesses to Minamoto’s murder. She states that she had a rough life, her parents divorced when she was young, and began getting in more trouble than the law could allow. Kashiwa says she became rebellious and started hanging out with the wrong crowd. Eventually, she got tangled up with Minamoto, who Kashiwa claims was a terrible person, but to which degree is up for interpretation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The End of an Ordeal and Final Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although she regrets killing Minamoto and is ashamed that she was caught, Kashiwa states that Conan saw through everything and has a moment of deep relief. Kashiwa falls to her knees, defeated, and hugs a confused Conan tightly. She states that Conan is no regular child, that he saw through everything, and blew the metaphorical whistle on her. Kashiwa says that next time, she’ll stand guard at the goal post. Tears flow down Kashiwa’s face as she is arrested for murder.&lt;br /&gt;

== Famous Detective VS The Perfect Crime ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Kogoro, and Conan are enjoying their time viewing cherry blossoms. Kogoro claims himself to be a master detective and his deductions can cut through any deception thrown his way. Their evening is interrupted when they come across Mr. Mita, a man who proclaims that the perfect crime is possible, then goes on to say that he could pull it off. This disturbs Kogoro, Conan, Mr. Mita’s coworkers, and everyone else within earshot. His boss and the only man capable of putting an end to his shenanigans, Ariyuki Kashima, is laid out and drunk past the point of no return, having consumed massive amounts of alcohol. Conan states that the perfect crime is useless when there is a detective on the scene. Mita proclaims that it was only a joke to see how Kogoro would react. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To soothe the situation, Mita puts on a pair of black leather gloves and pours everyone another round of drinks. The garbage bin is filled to the brim with trash and Kogoro suggests just leaving the trash there, but Ran objects and decides to take their empty cans home to dispose of properly. Mita takes Ariyuki home in a cab. Conan notices that Ariyuki dropped his wallet and goes to return it, but Mita and Ariyuki have already left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Arriving at Ariyuki’s condo, Mita reveals that he actually intends on committing the perfect crime and his selected victim is the unfortunate Ariyuki. The drunk Ariyuki is led to his condo and dragged to the back and inside a sauna room. Mita puts on another pair of leather gloves, strips Ariyuki of his clothing, even his boxer briefs, prompts him onto the wooden seat, and sets the sauna to its highest temperature possible. Before leaving, Mita forges a note and leaves the condo key in the mailbox. Mita looks back and up at Ariyuki’s condo from outside with complete arrogance and over confidence, showing no remorse and pure excitement for tomorrow’s events, as Ariyuki dies a slow brutal death inside his sauna.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, Mita returns to Ariyuki to act surprise and concerned for his boss. To his actual dismay and genuine shock, he sees Conan making an appearance as he wants to return Ariyuki’s wallet that he dropped yesterday at the function. Mita has the building owner open the door, claiming he left important documents inside and that Ariyuki himself isn’t opening the door and not answering any calls, fearing for the worst. Once inside, they locate the note and key in the mail slot, but Conan detects a foul odor in the air coming from the back of the condo. He rushes through the condo and inside of the sauna, finds Ariyuki’s corpse, covered in gruesome burns all over.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Coroner’s Office arrives on the scene and launches an investigation into Ariyuki’s death. Based on the condition of the body, it appears if he had fallen asleep in his sauna and was burned to death after he had drunk large amounts of alcohol prior at the previous function. There are no physical injuries or wounds to suggest a confrontation or struggle.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan looks around and finds nothing out of the ordinary in various parts of the victim’s condo: the kitchen, bathroom, and trash. During his search for clues, he has an unsettling feeling of how Mita was just telling a group of people a horrific story about committing the perfect crime and yet he is at the scene of a crime of his late boss. Conan can not yet confirm if foul play is involved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Giving the circumstances of this case and manner of death, the dispatch of the police is left at the discretion of the medical examiner. There is nothing suspicious about Ariyuki’s corpse. The medical examiner will assume he got home after drinking with his employees, went into the sauna, fell asleep, and was burnt all over his body. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Therefore, the manner of death makes perfect sense. An autopsy investigator would have no doubts. They would see Ariyuki’s death and rule it an unfortunate accident, submit the documents, all would be forgotten, and the case would be over. Conan replays the voice of Mita in his head where he asks Kogoro if the perfect crime is impossible, claiming he feels he can do it. With virtually no clue or evidence to be found, Conan wonders if Ariyuki Kashima’s gruesome death is the result of a gross accident, or if really a murder, how can it be proven?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan continues to apply pressure to Mr Mita who he believes to have viciously murdered his employer, Ariyuki Kashima. Mita is on Ariyuki’s computer, apparently deleting files. Conan tricks Mita into leaving the computer to search for a phone in Ariyuki’s coat pocket. When he returns, Mita, developing a dark demeanor, menacingly asks Conan on his actions. Conan does not back down and voices his theory: Ariyuki Kashima may have been murdered. This locks Conan and Mita into an intense psychological battle of cat-and-mouse. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan does not denounce the facts that Ariyuki was indeed drunk to the point where he needed support from others. It is just odd that he would strip from his clothing, go into the sauna, and fall asleep. Ariyuki wasn’t force to drink massive amounts of alcohol against his will. He wasn’t attacked as there were no bruises, cuts, or abrasions on his physical body with the exception of the fatal burns. Suspicious enough, Ariyuki’s cell phone wasn’t nearby, despite being home. Most people would keep their cell phones nearby in case of work, an emergency, or a need to call for help.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita has once stated that the perfect crime was possible but he counters saying that stating something isn’t the same as doing it. Conan adds that Ariyuki came home but didn’t drink any water, a move most drunk people do in an attempt to sober up. There was no signs of any movement inside the kitchen, refrigerator, or trash bin to indicate that Ariyuki consumed any beverage before he was killed. Mita feels Conan’s growing confidence and begins to appreciate the challenge Conan brings to the table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan begins to understand Mita on what he meant by “the perfect crime.” The key points he was talking about were: one, meeting the victim, two, using what is available at home, and in Mr. Kashima’s case, a sauna, third, never use force to minimize leaving unnecessary clues behind. Even if these fail, wait for the next opportunity. When all conditions are met, everything will be examined and ruled an accident. Another point given if one looks at it from a different perspective and realize that alcohol is the most dangerous poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alcohol, sometimes referred by its scientific name ethanol, is a psychoactive drug and central nervous system (CNS) depressant, decreasing electrical activity of neurons in the brain. It is the second most consumed psychoactive drug globally behind caffeine, and alcohol use disorders are the most prevalent of all substance use disorders worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) classifies alcohol as a toxic, psychoactive, dependence-producing, and carcinogenic substance. Drinking alcohol reduces alertness, awareness, among other things. Excessive drinking can lead to cancer, liver and heart diseases, mental issues, and even death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mr. Kashima was not forced to drink, he did it on his own accord. He was brought back home drunk out of his mind, stripped of his clothing, placed into the lethally hot sauna without resistance, and was killed. Doing it this way, it reduces the risks of leaving evidence behind, and if a murder attempt goes awry, alcohol will take the blame and the case comes to an end. Conan believes that all of Mita’s horrific crimes have gone off without a hitch and evidence to be found. If the investigation continues at this rate, Sebastian may walk free.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The landlord walks up and asks for Conan and Mita to leave, but Conan isn’t ready yet. When Conan considers if Mita could have removed fingerprints and remembers that he was wearing gloves, he has a stark revelation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later that day, Mita is on the phone with a friend planning to go to Italy during Golden Week when there is a ring at his front door. He opens to see Detective Harry Takagi who wishes to talk more about Kashima and his death. Though caught off guard, Mita gives an evil grin, proclaiming to himself how his best performance will prevail and get him off the hook. Conan is besides Takagi, also smiling. The intense psychological of game cat-and-mouse is about to reach its breaking point. Who will fold?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; If it was any doubts in anyone’s mind about anything regarding this gross murder case, &#039;&#039;&#039;Mita&#039;&#039;&#039; did indeed murder his boss, Ariyuki Kashima, but how his so-called perfect crime will begin crumbling before his very eyes at the hands of Conan (whom Mita has greatly underestimated up until this point) and how Mita will be caught and brought to justice to face punishment for his crime is where the real fun begins.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita looks down at Conan and states that the police and forensics team is at his residence at Conan’s request. He asks Takagi if any of his fingerprints were pulled from the crime scene or near or in Kashima’s sauna. Takagi says no but something of interest was definitely found. That something is an unusual smudge, almost invisible if not for the thorough investigation. Conan confirms that Mita was indeed wearing a pair during the cherry blossom viewing at the get-together that was held at the Japanese Garden the day before. Although because he was wearing gloves, Mita’s fingerprints wasn’t pulled from the sauna switch, but he did leave something behind. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Contrary to popular belief, wearing gloves may seem like a clever way to conceal evidence, but depending on the material, it can do more harm than good. Leather products hold their own special qualities and characteristics, almost like a human. This is due to the fact of the natural grain of leather coming from an animal’s hide, meaning it can potentially be used for identification purposes. This is true when examining high-quality leather with visible grain patterns. In some forensic investigations, the police can attempt to lift latent fingerprints from leather surfaces by using special techniques to visualize the ridge details left behind by touch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan inserts that neither Mr. Ariyuki Kashima nor Mita is innocent; both have committed crimes under the law. Ariyuki learned that Mita was embezzling money from his company. Instead of going to the authorities, Mr. Kashima blackmailed him, further fueling the deep hatred inside Mita that eventually manifested into murder. Miniature proof is that Mita was on Kashima’s computer, allegedly looking for Kashima’s address book, but he was really deleting the incriminating emails. Just because one deletes files from a computer, it doesn’t mean they went away completely. Conan states that after Mita did what he did, Conan went after him and confirmed his partial theory. Some of the emails stuck out to Conan in particular: specifically where Mita was a good standing citizen who rose up the ranks in Ariyuki’s company. He even shared aspirations of living in the suburbs, finally marrying his high school sweetheart, having children, grandchildren, and dying without regrets knowing he left a legacy that would be upheld and remembered for generations to come. Based on the heartfelt emails alone, Ariyuki saw Mita’s gentle well mannered heart for weakness and began an extremely relentless campaign in keeping Mita in check, turning Mita into a victim of blackmail, and unfortunately, a cold hearted bloodthirsty sadistic monster that’s led them to this current moment and situation. He even asked some exports on the matter and the results were astounding to say the least. If Mita had any motives for wanting Kashima dead in the worst way possible, it would be that. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The truth of the matter is, Mita is dating a coworker in his department. That woman has said she was pushing Mr. Kashima to drink alot of alcoholic beverages at the cherry blossom viewing party. Mita had to get someone else to get Kashima liquored up to the point of no return and make him drink as much as possible. The gathering of alcohol is also calculated. It would be beneficial if someone else got it on Mita’s behalf. His girlfriend’s behavior matched the given conditions and was investigated as well. During Mita’s girlfriend’s questioning, she stated that Mita asked her to get Kashima drunk and if it was successful, he would take her on vacation to Italy, all expenses paid, just show up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mita claims that there is nothing wrong with playing a harmless adult game. Also, the gloves that Takagi wants has been thrown in the incinerator due to their defectiveness and holes. Mita gives another evil grin and states that Conan’s attempts at naming him the killer was entertaining but have came up short, leaving Conan and Takagi helpless. Takagi asks Mita if he remembers pouring Detective Kogoro Mouri a beer in his cup at the garden party. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During that time, Mita was wearing his leather gloves, the &#039;&#039;very same ones&#039;&#039; from the cherry blossom party. The trash bin at the garden was full to capacity so nothing else could have been disposed of. With no other choice, that same beer can that Mita touched with his gloves went to Detective Mouri’s house and was discarded there. If the unique characteristic mark made by Mita’s leather gloves matches the mark on Kashima’s sauna switch with the beer can, then Mita’s perfect crime theory is a bust, and the link between the cherry blossom and hot sauna is therefore satisfied. He can kiss his girlfriend and his trip to Italy goodbye for the rest of his life. Mita is promptly arrested by Takagi as Conan tells him that his words held true: “when there is a detective who stands on business, there is no such thing as a perfect crime.” With Mita now in custody to face judgment for murder, Conan takes his rightfully earned victory in triumph and returns to the Mouri agency.&lt;br /&gt;

== Nightmare Escape ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Richard is at a hotel having his picture taken with fans by mystery magazine editor Yutaka Nanbara, much to Rachel and Conan’s dismay. Beside Yutaka is the beautiful Miwako Najima, a  recent college graduate and mystery writer. She plans to celebrate her graduation with friends later on and excuses herself to go get her manuscript to give to Yutaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the 5th floor of the hotel, Miwako walks into her room to find a mysterious person, represented by the traditional black humanoid, going through her laptop. Miwako, apparently knowing the individual, shows them that it is too late if they were looking to tamper with her transcript, shocking the individual. She has named her project, Nightmare Escape, and further explains that she changed some details in her manuscript as to not involve anyone she knew. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miwako also shows a number of floppy disks containing police investigations and past crimes which she uses as research to give her stories and future novels more depth and realism. After Miwako realizes she is late turning her manuscript in, the individual takes a floppy disk and throws it out the window, causing Miwako to look over the balcony of her room. The individual  creepingly grins, walks up on Miwako and grabs her by the ankle, causing Miwako to dangerously tilt forward …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While downstairs, Richard is talking with Yukata when suddenly Miwako’s terror filled scream is heard. The group looks outside to see Miwako’s lifeless body laying on the ground, her head laying in a pool of her blood. The killer makes their way to Miwako’s laptop and begins deleting her manuscript and wiping the keyboard with a cloth. They walk out, noticing three women nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched into Miwako’s death and a saddened Yutaka proclaims that she committed suicide, though Richard isn’t ready to come to that conclusion yet. Inside Miwako’s room, they discover her laptop. Conan manages to recover a deleted file entitled “Nightmare Escape” from the laptop’s trash bin. It had been deleted at exactly 2:33, and Miwako’s death was approximately at 2:30, meaning someone had tampered with the laptop after Miwako was killed. An indention is found near the chair. Three women are interviewed as they were standing near Miwako’s room and all three did not see anything or anyone, with the exception of the bell girl, go in and out at the time of the crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three suspects are named: the hotel manager, Higashida, and two of his employees, the bell girl Shizuko Nishioka and hotel valet Toshiaki Kitagami. Their alibis and movements before, during, and after the crime are thoroughly checked. Higashida explains that there were no other guests on the 5th floor. Toshiaki and Shizuko were making beds and preparing rooms on opposite ends, and both state that they never went inside Miwako’s room. When a floppy disk outside in the bushes is discovered and one missing from Miwako’s collection is noted, Conan begins to suspect that Miwako’s brutal death was the product of foul play, but heavy hitting questions linger in the mind of the young determined detective: “Who else was in Miwako’s room, what could have made the imprint on the floor, and if truly a murder, how did the killer get out and away without being detected?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A quick examination of Miwako’s corpse reveals no signs of an immediate struggle. The only signs of injury are those most likely sustained from the fall. There were no other traumatic injuries to report, further cementing the theory that Miwako jumped to her own death. When no fingerprints were found on the keyboard of Miwako’s laptop, suspicions begin to arise that someone wiped it clean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A floppy disk is found in a tree underneath the balcony. Conan notices a mysterious figure roaming around the hotel apparently in search of something. The figure looks up at Conan when he calls out but leaves soon after. The floppy disk is recovered and analyzed. On it is the contents of Nightmare Escape, a story based on true events which follows a criminal couple on the run after they deceived an elderly man out of his fortune. While the couple was never arrested, the story focuses heavily on the psychological state of the two after their crime. At the end of the story, the criminal is revealed to be a hotel employee, having adopted a disguise to cover their tracks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan asks a question to one of the women who was near Miwako’s room when was killed. He goes and accidentally bumps into Shizuko and asks her if he could see her make a bed, to which she replies that all the rooms are done. Conan drops the idea and a police officer walks in to announce that another set of fingerprints besides Miwako’s was found on the floppy disk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan tranquillizes Richard and explains his theory. Given that Miwako Najima had organized a file of police reports and past investigations and was intending to use them in future projects, she had no intention on committing suicide. This is evidenced by the fact that she was planning on going out to celebrate her recent graduation. The balcony from which she fell upon had a railing which would have prevented such an incident to occur. Putting into account that Miwako has frequently visited the hotel in the past, she would have known of such a danger. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, there were no drugs nor alcohol found or reported in her system; an accidental stumble over the railing is simply out of the question. It is no wonder why another pair of fingerprints, besides Miwako’s, was found on the floppy disk. They threw the floppy disk out of the room, causing Miwako to go to the veranda and see where it had landed in the branches of the tree; it was apart of the killer’s plan. After an unknowing Miwako got close enough, they pushed her off, instantly killing her the moment her head struck the ground. The killer sat in the chair, explaining the crevice in the carpet, wiped the computer of fingerprints after deleting Miwako’s story and left without being noticed. The fingerprints that was found besides actually belong to her killer, who is revealed to be &#039;&#039;&#039;Toshiaki Kitagami&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
As Toshiaki is an employee of the hotel, is it common for his fingerprints to be on various items throughout a normal hotel room. The situation changes if his fingerprints are on items they have no business having them and it wouldn’t be long before more questions are asked. This is why Toshiaki was wandering around underneath the tree a few moments ago; he was in search of the floppy disk he threw out of Miwako’s room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To escape the crime scene, Toshiaki actually had an accomplice aid in his criminal wrongdoing. That accomplice is &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuko Nishioka&#039;&#039;&#039;, the bell girl. All of the rooms on the 5th floor are done in perfection with the exception of Miwako’s room given the active crime investigation in progress. As part of Shizuko’s job, she pushes a cart from room to room doing her routine duties. When she was done with the room before Miwako’s, she turned around for a reason. That reason was to shield Toshiaki with the bell cart, who proceeded to crawl on his knees back to the elevator. This way, he dodged his presence to the three girls in the hallway next to Miwako’s room. They pretend to meet once the dark deeds are done and proceed to the lobby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Miwako’s story, &#039;&#039;Nightmare Escape&#039;&#039;, the criminal flees the scene and disguises himself as an employee of the hotel. By one mere stroke of coincidence, the criminal meets his elderly victim who just so happens to be staying at the same hotel and things go south thereafter. If the elderly victim from Toshiaki’s past crime is brought forth, they will no doubt testify that Toshiaki and Shizuko are in fact the criminal couple that deceived them of his fortune, eerily as done in Miwako’s story. To seal Toshiaki for his crimes, Conan reveals that the second set of fingerprints belongs Toshiaki; if memory serves correctly, Toshiaki’s occupation is a hotel valet, his primary duties are to handle guests’ vehicles at ground floors and garages. In other words, he has no business going past the hotel lobby, much less being in Miwako’s room located on the 5th floor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toshiaki confesses in defeat that Miwako changed the elderly character to herself in the end of her novel. Back in the day, Miwako volunteered to care for the elderly and used to talk with them. Toshiaki had just met his elderly victim at the hotel. As if things couldn’t get any worse, his elderly victim was one of Miwako’s patients. As Miwako started working on her novel, using the past investigations and police reports on hand, she discovered Toshiaki and Shizuko’s real identities, much to the shock and horror of the criminals, and that they were hiding in the hotel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Believing they had been caught, Toshiaki and Shizuko prepared for the worst case scenario, until Miwako made a deal with them: “tell her every possible detail of their past crime as well as their mental state and psychological well being that they experienced while committing said crime, or be turned over to the police”, thus revealing Miwako to not only be a tragic victim of a horrific murder, but a scheming blackmailing con artist. Despite being in compliance with Miwako’s blackmail demands and having her murdered, Toshiaki and Shizuko both realize that there is no changing their past, regardless of what they had done, there is no escape from what is to come next: their punishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The solution to Chizu&#039;s puzzle is &amp;quot;Pitcher who throws&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで投げる) and &amp;quot;Use the Pitcher&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで使う), with both being based on Kojiro and Mayo&#039;s occupations. Arranging the 4 characters in the given order reveals that Chizu hid her bank account book inside the peanut box, her favorite snack. As the siblings fight with each other to claim their inheritance, Conan stops them and reveals that Chizu also hid a letter along with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The letter contains an apology from Chizu as she had realized that she was too strict with her grandchildren, causing a great rift between the three of them. However, she still wanted Mayo and Kojiro to reconcile with each other, like during their happy days building the bird house together. Understanding their Chizu&#039;s true feeling, the siblings agree to return to live together at their grandmother house once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Back at the Detective Agency, Conan finds Kogoro dead drunk and thinks to himself that Kojiro&#039;s plan of getting Kogoro to work for him for free wouldn&#039;t work in a million years.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Nightmare Escape ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Richard is at a hotel having his picture taken with fans by mystery magazine editor Yutaka Nanbara, much to Rachel and Conan’s dismay. Beside Yutaka is the beautiful Miwako Najima, a  recent college graduate and mystery writer. She plans to celebrate her graduation with friends later on and excuses herself to go get her manuscript to give to Yutaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the 5th floor of the hotel, Miwako walks into her room to find a mysterious person, represented by the traditional black humanoid, going through her laptop. Miwako, apparently knowing the individual, shows them that it is too late if they were looking to tamper with her transcript, shocking the individual. She has named her project, Nightmare Escape, and further explains that she changed some details in her manuscript as to not involve anyone she knew. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miwako also shows a number of floppy disks containing police investigations and past crimes which she uses as research to give her stories and future novels more depth and realism. After Miwako realizes she is late turning her manuscript in, the individual takes a floppy disk and throws it out the window, causing Miwako to look over the balcony of her room. The individual  creepingly grins, walks up on Miwako and grabs her by the ankle, causing Miwako to dangerously tilt forward …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While downstairs, Richard is talking with Yukata when suddenly Miwako’s terror filled scream is heard. The group looks outside to see Miwako’s lifeless body laying on the ground, her head laying in a pool of her blood. The killer makes their way to Miwako’s laptop and begins deleting her manuscript and wiping the keyboard with a cloth. They walk out, noticing three women nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched into Miwako’s death and a saddened Yutaka proclaims that she committed suicide, though Richard isn’t ready to come to that conclusion yet. Inside Miwako’s room, they discover her laptop. Conan manages to recover a deleted file entitled “Nightmare Escape” from the laptop’s trash bin. It had been deleted at exactly 2:33, and Miwako’s death was approximately at 2:30, meaning someone had tampered with the laptop after Miwako was killed. An indention is found near the chair. Three women are interviewed as they were standing near Miwako’s room and all three did not see anything or anyone, with the exception of the bell girl, go in and out at the time of the crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three suspects are named: the hotel manager, Higashida, and two of his employees, the bell girl Shizuko Nishioka and hotel valet Toshiaki Kitagami. Their alibis and movements before, during, and after the crime are thoroughly checked. Higashida explains that there were no other guests on the 5th floor. Toshiaki and Shizuko were making beds and preparing rooms on opposite ends, and both state that they never went inside Miwako’s room. When a floppy disk outside in the bushes is discovered and one missing from Miwako’s collection is noted, Conan begins to suspect that Miwako’s brutal death was the product of foul play, but heavy hitting questions linger in the mind of the young determined detective: “Who else was in Miwako’s room, what could have made the imprint on the floor, and if truly a murder, how did the killer get out and away without being detected?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A quick examination of Miwako’s corpse reveals no signs of an immediate struggle. The only signs of injury are those most likely sustained from the fall. There were no other traumatic injuries to report, further cementing the theory that Miwako jumped to her own death. When no fingerprints were found on the keyboard of Miwako’s laptop, suspicions begin to arise that someone wiped it clean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A floppy disk is found in a tree underneath the balcony. Conan notices a mysterious figure roaming around the hotel apparently in search of something. The figure looks up at Conan when he calls out but leaves soon after. The floppy disk is recovered and analyzed. On it is the contents of Nightmare Escape, a story based on true events which follows a criminal couple on the run after they deceived an elderly man out of his fortune. While the couple was never arrested, the story focuses heavily on the psychological state of the two after their crime. At the end of the story, the criminal is revealed to be a hotel employee, having adopted a disguise to cover their tracks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan asks a question to one of the women who was near Miwako’s room when was killed. He goes and accidentally bumps into Shizuko and asks her if he could see her make a bed, to which she replies that all the rooms are done. Conan drops the idea and a police officer walks in to announce that another set of fingerprints besides Miwako’s was found on the floppy disk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan tranquillizes Richard and explains his theory. Given that Miwako Najima had organized a file of police reports and past investigations and was intending to use them in future projects, she had no intention on committing suicide. This is evidenced by the fact that she was planning on going out to celebrate her recent graduation. The balcony from which she fell upon had a railing which would have prevented such an incident to occur. Putting into account that Miwako has frequently visited the hotel in the past, she would have known of such a danger. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, there were no drugs nor alcohol found or reported in her system; an accidental stumble over the railing is simply out of the question. It is no wonder why another pair of fingerprints, besides Miwako’s, was found on the floppy disk. They threw the floppy disk out of the room, causing Miwako to go to the veranda and see where it had landed in the branches of the tree; it was apart of the killer’s plan. After an unknowing Miwako got close enough, they pushed her off, instantly killing her the moment her head struck the ground. The killer sat in the chair, explaining the crevice in the carpet, wiped the computer of fingerprints after deleting Miwako’s story and left without being noticed. The fingerprints that was found besides actually belong to her killer, who is revealed to be &#039;&#039;&#039;Toshiaki Kitagami&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
As Toshiaki is an employee of the hotel, is it common for his fingerprints to be on various items throughout a normal hotel room. The situation changes if his fingerprints are on items they have no business having them and it wouldn’t be long before more questions are asked. This is why Toshiaki was wandering around underneath the tree a few moments ago; he was in search of the floppy disk he threw out of Miwako’s room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To escape the crime scene, Toshiaki actually had an accomplice aid in his criminal wrongdoing. That accomplice is &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuko Nishioka&#039;&#039;&#039;, the bell girl. All of the rooms on the 5th floor are done in perfection with the exception of Miwako’s room given the active crime investigation in progress. As part of Shizuko’s job, she pushes a cart from room to room doing her routine duties. When she was done with the room before Miwako’s, she turned around for a reason. That reason was to shield Toshiaki with the bell cart, who proceeded to crawl on his knees back to the elevator. This way, he dodged his presence to the three girls in the hallway next to Miwako’s room. They pretend to meet once the dark deeds are done and proceed to the lobby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Miwako’s story, &#039;&#039;Nightmare Escape&#039;&#039;, the criminal flees the scene and disguises himself as an employee of the hotel. By one mere stroke of coincidence, the criminal meets his elderly victim who just so happens to be staying at the same hotel and things go south thereafter. If the elderly victim from Toshiaki’s past crime is brought forth, they will no doubt testify that Toshiaki and Shizuko are in fact the criminal couple that deceived them of his fortune, eerily as done in Miwako’s story. To seal Toshiaki for his crimes, Conan reveals that the second set of fingerprints belongs Toshiaki; if memory serves correctly, Toshiaki’s occupation is a hotel valet, his primary duties are to handle guests’ vehicles at ground floors and garages. In other words, he has no business going past the hotel lobby, much less being in Miwako’s room located on the 5th floor&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toshiaki confesses in defeat that Miwako changed the elderly character to herself in the end of her novel. Back in the day, Miwako volunteered to care for the elderly and used to talk with them. Toshiaki had just met his elderly victim at the hotel. As if things couldn’t get any worse, his elderly victim was one of Miwako’s patients. As Miwako started working on her novel, using the past investigations and police reports on hand, she discovered Toshiaki and Shizuko’s real identities, much to the shock and horror of the criminals, and that they were hiding in the hotel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Believing they had been caught, Toshiaki and Shizuko prepared for the worst case scenario, until Miwako made a deal with them: “tell her every possible detail of their past crime as well as their mental state and psychological well being that they experienced while committing said crime, or be turned over to the police”, thus revealing Miwako to not only be a tragic victim of a horrific murder, but a scheming blackmailing con artist. Despite being in compliance with Miwako’s blackmail demands and having her murdered, Toshiaki and Shizuko both realize that there is no changing their past, regardless of what they had done, there is no escape from what is to come next: their punishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The solution to Chizu&#039;s puzzle is &amp;quot;Pitcher who throws&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで投げる) and &amp;quot;Use the Pitcher&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで使う), with both being based on Kojiro and Mayo&#039;s occupations. Arranging the 4 characters in the given order reveals that Chizu hid her bank account book inside the peanut box, her favorite snack. As the siblings fight with each other to claim their inheritance, Conan stops them and reveals that Chizu also hid a letter along with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The letter contains an apology from Chizu as she had realized that she was too strict with her grandchildren, causing a great rift between the three of them. However, she still wanted Mayo and Kojiro to reconcile with each other, like during their happy days building the bird house together. Understanding their Chizu&#039;s true feeling, the siblings agree to return to live together at their grandmother house once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Back at the Detective Agency, Conan finds Kogoro dead drunk and thinks to himself that Kojiro&#039;s plan of getting Kogoro to work for him for free wouldn&#039;t work in a million years.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Nightmare Escape ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Richard is at a hotel having his picture taken with fans by mystery magazine editor Yutaka Nanbara, much to Rachel and Conan’s dismay. Beside Yutaka is the beautiful Miwako Najima, a  recent college graduate and mystery writer. She plans to celebrate her graduation with friends later on and excuses herself to go get her manuscript to give to Yutaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the 5th floor of the hotel, Miwako walks into her room to find a mysterious person, represented by the traditional black humanoid, going through her laptop. Miwako, apparently knowing the individual, shows them that it is too late if they were looking to tamper with her transcript, shocking the individual. She has named her project, Nightmare Escape, and further explains that she changed some details in her manuscript as to not involve anyone she knew. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miwako also shows a number of floppy disks containing police investigations and past crimes which she uses as research to give her stories and future novels more depth and realism. After Miwako realizes she is late turning her manuscript in, the individual takes a floppy disk and throws it out the window, causing Miwako to look over the balcony of her room. The individual  creepingly grins, walks up on Miwako and grabs her by the ankle, causing Miwako to dangerously tilt forward …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While downstairs, Richard is talking with Yukata when suddenly Miwako’s terror filled scream is heard. The group looks outside to see Miwako’s lifeless body laying on the ground, her head laying in a pool of her blood. The killer makes their way to Miwako’s laptop and begins deleting her manuscript and wiping the keyboard with a cloth. They walk out, noticing three women nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched into Miwako’s death and a saddened Yutaka proclaims that she committed suicide, though Richard isn’t ready to come to that conclusion yet. Inside Miwako’s room, they discover her laptop. Conan manages to recover a deleted file entitled “Nightmare Escape” from the laptop’s trash bin. It had been deleted at exactly 2:33, and Miwako’s death was approximately at 2:30, meaning someone had tampered with the laptop after Miwako was killed. An indention is found near the chair. Three women are interviewed as they were standing near Miwako’s room and all three did not see anything or anyone, with the exception of the bell girl, go in and out at the time of the crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three suspects are named: the hotel manager, Higashida, and two of his employees, the bell girl Shizuko Nishioka and hotel valet Toshiaki Kitagami. Their alibis and movements before, during, and after the crime are thoroughly checked. Higashida explains that there were no other guests on the 5th floor. Toshiaki and Shizuko were making beds and preparing rooms on opposite ends, and both state that they never went inside Miwako’s room. When a floppy disk outside in the bushes is discovered and one missing from Miwako’s collection is noted, Conan begins to suspect that Miwako’s brutal death was the product of foul play, but heavy hitting questions linger in the mind of the young determined detective: “Who else was in Miwako’s room, what could have made the imprint on the floor, and if truly a murder, how did the killer get out and away without being detected?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A quick examination of Miwako’s corpse reveals no signs of an immediate struggle. The only signs of injury are those most likely sustained from the fall. There were no other traumatic injuries to report, further cementing the theory that Miwako jumped to her own death. When no fingerprints were found on the keyboard of Miwako’s laptop, suspicions begin to arise that someone wiped it clean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A floppy disk is found in a tree underneath the balcony. Conan notices a mysterious figure roaming around the hotel apparently in search of something. The figure looks up at Conan when he calls out but leaves soon after. The floppy disk is recovered and analyzed. On it is the contents of Nightmare Escape, a story based on true events which follows a criminal couple on the run after they deceived an elderly man out of his fortune. While the couple was never arrested, the story focuses heavily on the psychological state of the two after their crime. At the end of the story, the criminal is revealed to be a hotel employee, having adopted a disguise to cover their tracks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan asks a question to one of the women who was near Miwako’s room when was killed. He goes and accidentally bumps into Shizuko and asks her if he could see her make a bed, to which she replies that all the rooms are done. Conan drops the idea and a police officer walks in to announce that another set of fingerprints besides Miwako’s was found on the floppy disk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan tranquillizes Richard and explains his theory. Given that Miwako Najima had organized a file of police reports and past investigations and was intending to use them in future projects, she had no intention on committing suicide. This is evidenced by the fact that she was planning on going out to celebrate her recent graduation. The balcony from which she fell upon had a railing which would have prevented such an incident to occur. Putting into account that Miwako has frequently visited the hotel in the past, she would have known of such a danger. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, there were no drugs nor alcohol found or reported in her system; an accidental stumble over the railing is simply out of the question. It is no wonder why another pair of fingerprints, besides Miwako’s, was found on the floppy disk. They threw the floppy disk out of the room, causing Miwako to go to the veranda and see where it had landed in the branches of the tree; it was apart of the killer’s plan. After an unknowing Miwako got close enough, they pushed her off, instantly killing her the moment her head struck the ground. The killer sat in the chair, explaining the crevice in the carpet, wiped the computer of fingerprints after deleting Miwako’s story and left without being noticed. The fingerprints that was found besides actually belong to her killer, who is revealed to be &#039;&#039;&#039;Toshiaki Kitagami&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
As Toshiaki is an employee of the hotel, is it common for his fingerprints to be on various items throughout a normal hotel room. The situation changes if his fingerprints are on items they have no business having them and it wouldn’t be long before more questions are asked. This is why Toshiaki was wandering around underneath the tree a few moments ago; he was in search of the floppy disk he threw out of Miwako’s room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To escape the crime scene, Toshiaki actually had an accomplice aid in his criminal wrongdoing. That accomplice is &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuko Nishioka&#039;&#039;&#039;, the bell girl. All of the rooms on the 5th floor are done in perfection with the exception of Miwako’s room given the active crime investigation in progress. As part of Shizuko’s job, she pushes a cart from room to room doing her routine duties. When she was done with the room before Miwako’s, she turned around for a reason. That reason was to shield Toshiaki with the bell cart, who proceeded to crawl on his knees back to the elevator. This way, he dodged his presence to the three girls in the hallway next to Miwako’s room. They pretend to meet once the dark deeds are done and proceed to the lobby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Miwako’s story, &#039;&#039;Nightmare Escape&#039;&#039;, the criminal flees the scene and disguises himself as an employee of the hotel. By one mere stroke of coincidence, the criminal meets his elderly victim who just so happens to be staying at the same hotel and things go south thereafter. If the elderly victim from Toshiaki’s past crime is brought forth, they will no doubt testify that Toshiaki and Shizuko are in fact the criminal couple that deceived them of his fortune, eerily as done in Miwako’s story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toshiaki confesses in defeat that Miwako changed the elderly character to herself in the end of her novel. Back in the day, Miwako volunteered to care for the elderly and used to talk with them. Toshiaki had just met his elderly victim at the hotel. As if things couldn’t get any worse, his elderly victim was one of Miwako’s patients. As Miwako started working on her novel, using the past investigations and police reports on hand, she discovered Toshiaki and Shizuko’s real identities, much to the shock and horror of the criminals, and that they were hiding in the hotel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Believing they had been caught, Toshiaki and Shizuko prepared for the worst case scenario, until Miwako made a deal with them: “tell her every possible detail of their past crime as well as their mental state and psychological well being that they experienced while committing said crime, or be turned over to the police”, thus revealing Miwako to not only be a tragic victim of a horrific murder, but a scheming blackmailing con artist. Despite being in compliance with Miwako’s blackmail demands and having her murdered, Toshiaki and Shizuko both realize that there is no changing their past, regardless of what they had done, there is no escape from what is to come next: their punishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The solution to Chizu&#039;s puzzle is &amp;quot;Pitcher who throws&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで投げる) and &amp;quot;Use the Pitcher&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで使う), with both being based on Kojiro and Mayo&#039;s occupations. Arranging the 4 characters in the given order reveals that Chizu hid her bank account book inside the peanut box, her favorite snack. As the siblings fight with each other to claim their inheritance, Conan stops them and reveals that Chizu also hid a letter along with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The letter contains an apology from Chizu as she had realized that she was too strict with her grandchildren, causing a great rift between the three of them. However, she still wanted Mayo and Kojiro to reconcile with each other, like during their happy days building the bird house together. Understanding their Chizu&#039;s true feeling, the siblings agree to return to live together at their grandmother house once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Back at the Detective Agency, Conan finds Kogoro dead drunk and thinks to himself that Kojiro&#039;s plan of getting Kogoro to work for him for free wouldn&#039;t work in a million years.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Nightmare Escape ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Richard is at a hotel having his picture taken with fans by mystery magazine editor Yutaka Nanbara, much to Rachel and Conan’s dismay. Beside Yutaka is the beautiful Miwako Najima, a  recent college graduate and mystery writer. She plans to celebrate her graduation with friends later on and excuses herself to go get her manuscript to give to Yutaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the 5th floor of the hotel, Miwako walks into her room to find a mysterious person, represented by the traditional black humanoid, going through her laptop. Miwako, apparently knowing the individual, shows them that it is too late if they were looking to tamper with her transcript, shocking the individual. She has named her project, Nightmare Escape, and further explains that she changed some details in her manuscript as to not involve anyone she knew. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miwako also shows a number of floppy disks containing police investigations and past crimes which she uses as research to give her stories and future novels more depth and realism. After Miwako realizes she is late turning her manuscript in, the individual takes a floppy disk and throws it out the window, causing Miwako to look over the balcony of her room. The individual  creepingly grins, walks up on Miwako and grabs her by the ankle, causing Miwako to dangerously tilt forward …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While downstairs, Richard is talking with Yukata when suddenly Miwako’s terror filled scream is heard. The group looks outside to see Miwako’s lifeless body laying on the ground, her head laying in a pool of her blood. The killer makes their way to Miwako’s laptop and begins deleting her manuscript and wiping the keyboard with a cloth. They walk out, noticing three women nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched into Miwako’s death and a saddened Yutaka proclaims that she committed suicide, though Richard isn’t ready to come to that conclusion yet. Inside Miwako’s room, they discover her laptop. Conan manages to recover a deleted file entitled “Nightmare Escape” from the laptop’s trash bin. It had been deleted at exactly 2:33, and Miwako’s death was approximately at 2:30, meaning someone had tampered with the laptop after Miwako was killed. An indention is found near the chair. Three women are interviewed as they were standing near Miwako’s room and all three did not see anything or anyone, with the exception of the bell girl, go in and out at the time of the crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three suspects are named: the hotel manager, Higashida, and two of his employees, the bell girl Shizuko Nishioka and hotel valet Toshiaki Kitagami. Their alibis and movements before, during, and after the crime are thoroughly checked. Higashida explains that there were no other guests on the 5th floor. Toshiaki and Shizuko were making beds and preparing rooms on opposite ends, and both state that they never went inside Miwako’s room. When a floppy disk outside in the bushes is discovered and one missing from Miwako’s collection is noted, Conan begins to suspect that Miwako’s brutal death was the product of foul play, but heavy hitting questions linger in the mind of the young determined detective: “Who else was in Miwako’s room, what could have made the imprint on the floor, and if truly a murder, how did the killer get out and away without being detected?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A quick examination of Miwako’s corpse reveals no signs of an immediate struggle. The only signs of injury are those most likely sustained from the fall. There were no other traumatic injuries to report, further cementing the theory that Miwako jumped to her own death. When no fingerprints were found on the keyboard of Miwako’s laptop, suspicions begin to arise that someone wiped it clean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A floppy disk is found in a tree underneath the balcony. Conan notices a mysterious figure roaming around the hotel apparently in search of something. The figure looks up at Conan when he calls out but leaves soon after. The floppy disk is recovered and analyzed. On it is the contents of Nightmare Escape, a story based on true events which follows a criminal couple on the run after they deceived an elderly man out of his fortune. While the couple was never arrested, the story focuses heavily on the psychological state of the two after their crime. At the end of the story, the criminal is revealed to be a hotel employee, having adopted a disguise to cover their tracks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan asks a question to one of the women who was near Miwako’s room when was killed. He goes and accidentally bumps into Shizuko and asks her if he could see her make a bed, to which she replies that all the rooms are done. Conan drops the idea and a police officer walks in to announce that another set of fingerprints besides Miwako’s was found on the floppy disk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan tranquillizes Richard and explains his theory. Given that Miwako Najima had organized a file of police reports and past investigations and was intending to use them in future projects, she had no intention on committing suicide. This is evidenced by the fact that she was planning on going out to celebrate her recent graduation. The balcony from which she fell upon had a railing which would have prevented such an incident to occur. Putting into account that Miwako has frequently visited the hotel in the past, she would have known of such a danger. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, there were no drugs nor alcohol found or reported in her system; an accidental stumble over the railing is simply out of the question. It is no wonder why another pair of fingerprints, besides Miwako’s, was found on the floppy disk. They threw the floppy disk out of the room, causing Miwako to go to the veranda and see where it had landed in the branches of the tree; it was apart of the killer’s plan. After an unknowing Miwako got close enough, they pushed her off, instantly killing her the moment her head struck the ground. The killer sat in the chair, explaining the crevice in the carpet, wiped the computer of fingerprints after deleting Miwako’s story and left without being noticed. The fingerprints that was found besides actually belong to her killer, who is revealed to be &#039;&#039;&#039;Toshiaki Kitagami&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
As Toshiaki is an employee of the hotel, is it common for his fingerprints to be on various items throughout a normal hotel room. The situation changes if his fingerprints are on items they have no business having them and it wouldn’t be long before more questions are asked. This is why Toshiaki was wandering around underneath the tree a few moments ago; he was in search of the floppy disk he threw out of Miwako’s room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To escape the crime scene, Toshiaki actually had an accomplice aid in his criminal wrongdoing. That accomplice is &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuko Nishioka&#039;&#039;&#039;, the bell girl. All of the rooms on the 5th floor are done in perfection with the exception of Miwako’s room given the active crime investigation in progress. As part of Shizuko’s job, she pushes a cart from room to room doing her routine duties. When she was done with the room before Miwako’s, she turned around for a reason. That reason was to shield Toshiaki with the bell cart, who proceeded to crawl on his knees back to the elevator. This way, he dodged his presence to the three girls in the hallway next to Miwako’s room. They pretend to meet once the dark deeds are done and proceed to the lobby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Miwako’s story, &#039;&#039;Nightmare Escape&#039;&#039;, the criminal flees the scene and disguises himself as an employee of the hotel. By one mere stroke of coincidence, the criminal meets his elderly victim who just so happens to be staying at the same hotel and things go south thereafter. If the elderly victim from Toshiaki’s past crime is brought forth, they will no doubt testify that Toshiaki and Shizuko are in fact the criminal couple that deceived them of his fortune, eerily as done in Miwako’s story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toshiaki confesses in defeat that Miwako changed the elderly character to herself in the end of her novel. Back in the day, Miwako volunteered to care for the elderly and used to talk with them. Toshiaki had just met his elderly victim at the hotel. As if things couldn’t get any worse, his elderly victim was one of Miwako’s patients. As Miwako started working on her novel, using the past investigations and police reports on hand, she discovered Toshiaki and Shizuko’s real identities, much to the shock and horror of the criminals, and that they were hiding in the hotel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Believing they had been caught, Toshiaki and Shizuko prepared for the worst case scenario, until Miwako made a deal with them: “tell her every possible detail of their past crime as well as their mental state and psychological well being that they experienced while committing said crime, or be turned over to the police”, thus revealing Miwako to not only be a tragic victim of a horrific murder, but a scheming blackmailing con artist. Despite being in compliance with Miwako’s blackmail demands and having her murdered, Toshiaki and Shizuko both realize that there is no changing their past, regardless of what they had done, there is no escape from what is to come next: their punishment.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The solution to Chizu&#039;s puzzle is &amp;quot;Pitcher who throws&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで投げる) and &amp;quot;Use the Pitcher&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで使う), with both being based on Kojiro and Mayo&#039;s occupations. Arranging the 4 characters in the given order reveals that Chizu hid her bank account book inside the peanut box, her favorite snack. As the siblings fight with each other to claim their inheritance, Conan stops them and reveals that Chizu also hid a letter along with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The letter contains an apology from Chizu as she had realized that she was too strict with her grandchildren, causing a great rift between the three of them. However, she still wanted Mayo and Kojiro to reconcile with each other, like during their happy days building the bird house together. Understanding their Chizu&#039;s true feeling, the siblings agree to return to live together at their grandmother house once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Back at the Detective Agency, Conan finds Kogoro dead drunk and thinks to himself that Kojiro&#039;s plan of getting Kogoro to work for him for free wouldn&#039;t work in a million years.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Nightmare Escape ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Richard is at a hotel having his picture taken with fans by mystery magazine editor Yutaka Nanbara, much to Rachel and Conan’s dismay. Beside Yutaka is the beautiful Miwako Najima, a  recent college graduate and mystery writer. She plans to celebrate her graduation with friends later on and excuses herself to go get her manuscript to give to Yutaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the 5th floor of the hotel, Miwako walks into her room to find a mysterious person, represented by the traditional black humanoid, going through her laptop. Miwako, apparently knowing the individual, shows them that it is too late if they were looking to tamper with her transcript, shocking the individual. She has named her project, Nightmare Escape, and further explains that she changed some details in her manuscript as to not involve anyone she knew. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miwako also shows a number of floppy disks containing police investigations and past crimes which she uses as research to give her stories and future novels more depth and realism. After Miwako realizes she is late turning her manuscript in, the individual takes a floppy disk and throws it out the window, causing Miwako to look over the balcony of her room. The individual  creepingly grins, walks up on Miwako and grabs her by the ankle, causing Miwako to dangerously tilt forward …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While downstairs, Richard is talking with Yukata when suddenly Miwako’s terror filled scream is heard. The group looks outside to see Miwako’s lifeless body laying on the ground, her head laying in a pool of her blood. The killer makes their way to Miwako’s laptop and begins deleting her manuscript and wiping the keyboard with a cloth. They walk out, noticing three women nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched into Miwako’s death and a saddened Yutaka proclaims that she committed suicide, though Richard isn’t ready to come to that conclusion yet. Inside Miwako’s room, they discover her laptop. Conan manages to recover a deleted file entitled “Nightmare Escape” from the laptop’s trash bin. It had been deleted at exactly 2:33, and Miwako’s death was approximately at 2:30, meaning someone had tampered with the laptop after Miwako was killed. An indention is found near the chair. Three women are interviewed as they were standing near Miwako’s room and all three did not see anything or anyone, with the exception of the bell girl, go in and out at the time of the crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three suspects are named: the hotel manager, Higashida, and two of his employees, the bell girl Shizuko Nishioka and hotel valet Toshiaki Kitagami. Their alibis and movements before, during, and after the crime are thoroughly checked. Higashida explains that there were no other guests on the 5th floor. Toshiaki and Shizuko were making beds and preparing rooms on opposite ends, and both state that they never went inside Miwako’s room. When a floppy disk outside in the bushes is discovered and one missing from Miwako’s collection is noted, Conan begins to suspect that Miwako’s brutal death was the product of foul play, but heavy hitting questions linger in the mind of the young determined detective: “Who else was in Miwako’s room, what could have made the imprint on the floor, and if truly a murder, how did the killer get out and away without being detected?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A quick examination of Miwako’s corpse reveals no signs of an immediate struggle. The only signs of injury are those most likely sustained from the fall. There were no other traumatic injuries to report, further cementing the theory that Miwako jumped to her own death. When no fingerprints were found on the keyboard of Miwako’s laptop, suspicions begin to arise that someone wiped it clean.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A floppy disk is found in a tree underneath the balcony. Conan notices a mysterious figure roaming around the hotel apparently in search of something. The figure looks up at Conan when he calls out but leaves soon after. The floppy disk is recovered and analyzed. On it is the contents of Nightmare Escape, a story based on true events which follows a criminal couple on the run after they deceived an elderly man out of his fortune. While the couple was never arrested, the story focuses heavily on the psychological state of the two after their crime. At the end of the story, the criminal is revealed to be a hotel employee, having adopted a disguise to cover their tracks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan asks a question to one of the women who was near Miwako’s room when was killed. He goes and accidentally bumps into Shizuko and asks her if he could see her make a bed, to which she replies that all the rooms are done. Conan drops the idea and a police officer walks in to announce that another set of fingerprints besides Miwako’s was found on the floppy disk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan tranquillizes Richard and explains his theory. Given that Miwako Najima had organized a file of police reports and past investigations and was intending to use them in future projects, she had no intention on committing suicide. This is evidenced by the fact that she was planning on going out to celebrate her recent graduation. The balcony from which she fell upon had a railing which would have prevented such an incident to occur. Putting into account that Miwako has frequently visited the hotel in the past, she would have known of such a danger. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Furthermore, there were no drugs nor alcohol found or reported in her system; an accidental stumble over the railing is simply out of the question. It is no wonder why another pair of fingerprints, besides Miwako’s, was found on the floppy disk. They threw the floppy disk out of the room, causing Miwako to go to the veranda and see where it had landed in the branches of the tree; it was apart of the killer’s plan. After an unknowing Miwako got close enough, they pushed her off, instantly killing her the moment her head struck the ground. The killer sat in the chair, explaining the crevice in the carpet, wiped the computer of fingerprints after deleting Miwako’s story and left without being noticed. The fingerprints that was found besides actually belong to her killer, who is revealed to be &#039;&#039;&#039;Toshiaki Kitagami&#039;&#039;&#039;. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
As Toshiaki is an employee of the hotel, is it common for his fingerprints to be on various items throughout a normal hotel room. The situation changes if his fingerprints are on items they have no business having them and it wouldn’t be long before more questions are asked. This is why Toshiaki was wandering around underneath the tree a few moments ago; he was in search of the floppy disk he threw out of Miwako’s room.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To escape the crime scene, Toshiaki actually had an accomplice aid in his criminal wrongdoing. That accomplice is &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuko Nishioka&#039;&#039;&#039;, the bell girl. All of the rooms on the 5th floor are done in perfection with the exception of Miwako’s room given the active crime investigation in progress. As part of Shizuko’s job, she pushes a cart from room to room doing her routine duties. When she was done with the room before Miwako’s, she turned around for a reason. That reason was to shield Toshiaki with the bell cart, who proceeded to crawl on his knees back to the elevator. This way, he dodged his presence to the three girls in the hallway next to Miwako’s room. They pretend to meet once the dark deeds are done and proceed to the lobby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Miwako’s story, &#039;&#039;Nightmare Escape&#039;&#039;, the criminal flees the scene and disguises himself as an employee of the hotel. By one mere stroke of coincidence, the criminal meets his elderly victim who just so happens to be staying at the same hotel and things go south thereafter. If the elderly victim from Toshiaki’s past crime is brought forth, they will no doubt testify that Toshiaki and Shizuko are in fact the criminal couple that deceived them of his fortune, eerily as done in Miwako’s story.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Toshiaki confesses in defeat that Miwako changed the elderly character to herself in the end of her novel. Back in the day, Miwako volunteered to care for the elderly and used to talk with them. Toshiaki had just met his elderly victim at the hotel. As if things couldn’t get any worse, his elderly victim was one of Miwako’s patients. As Miwako started working on her novel, using the past investigations and police reports on hand, she discovered Toshiaki and Shizuko’s real identities, much to the shock and horror of the criminals, and that they were hiding in the hotel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Believing they had been caught, Toshiaki and Shizuko prepared for the worst case scenario, until Miwako made a deal with them: “tell her every possible detail of their past crime as well as their mental state and psychological well being that they experienced while committing said crime, or be turned over to the police”, thus revealing Miwako to not only be a tragic victim of a horrific murder, but a scheming blackmailing con artist. Despite being in compliance with Miwako’s blackmail demands and having her murdered, Toshiaki and Shizuko both realize that there is no changing their past, regardless of what they had done, there is no escape from what is to come next: their punishment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The fingerprints on Miwako&#039;s floppy disk reveals that the murderer of the case is &#039;&#039;&#039;Toshiaki Kitagami&#039;&#039;&#039; the valet. After leaving the crime scene, he crawled on the floor toward the other end of the hallway with &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuko Nishioka&#039;&#039;&#039; using the trolley to hide his presence. Conan reveals that the plot of Miwako&#039;s novel is actually based on Kitagawa and Nishioka, who are the conartists that decieved an old man and stole his fortune, and once the police contact the victim of the case it will be a decisive evidence against them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Kitagawa confesses that he and Nishioka are the suspects of the case that fled to the hotel after being chased by the authority. In a stroke of bad luck, they met Miwako who managed to deduce his identity as she was once a volunteer who took care of the old man that they had decieved. In exchange for not turning them to the police, Miwaki had Kitagawa tell her every single details regarding the crime, his feeling while committing it, and all of his escapes up until the present. Once he discovered that Miwako had written his and Nishioka&#039;s altered story into a novel, he sought to silence her before the final part that contains the fact that they&#039;re hiding at the hotel could be published. However, the two have a breakdown, as they realizes that even though they murdered her, their inescapable end cannot be changed, ever.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The solution to Chizu&#039;s puzzle is &amp;quot;Pitcher who throws&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで投げる) and &amp;quot;Use the Pitcher&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで使う), with both being based on Kojiro and Mayo&#039;s occupations. Arranging the 4 characters in the given order reveals that Chizu hid her bank account book inside the peanut box, her favorite snack. As the siblings fight with each other to claim their inheritance, Conan stops them and reveals that Chizu also hid a letter along with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The letter contains an apology from Chizu as she had realized that she was too strict with her grandchildren, causing a great rift between the three of them. However, she still wanted Mayo and Kojiro to reconcile with each other, like during their happy days building the bird house together. Understanding their Chizu&#039;s true feeling, the siblings agree to return to live together at their grandmother house once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Back at the Detective Agency, Conan finds Kogoro dead drunk and thinks to himself that Kojiro&#039;s plan of getting Kogoro to work for him for free wouldn&#039;t work in a million years.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Nightmare Escape ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 1 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Richard is at a hotel having his picture taken with fans by mystery magazine editor Yutaka Nanbara, much to Rachel and Conan’s dismay. Beside Yutaka is the beautiful Miwako Najima, a  recent college graduate and mystery writer. She plans to celebrate her graduation with friends later on and excuses herself to go get her manuscript to give to Yutaka.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the 5th floor of the hotel, Miwako walks into her room to find a mysterious person, represented by the traditional black humanoid, going through her laptop. Miwako, apparently knowing the individual, shows them that it is too late if they were looking to tamper with her transcript, shocking the individual. She has named her project, Nightmare Escape, and further explains that she changed some details in her manuscript as to not involve anyone she knew. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miwako also shows a number of floppy disks containing police investigations and past crimes which she uses as research to give her stories and future novels more depth and realism. After Miwako realizes she is late turning her manuscript in, the individual takes a floppy disk and throws it out the window, causing Miwako to look over the balcony of her room. The individual  creepingly grins, walks up on Miwako and grabs her by the ankle, causing Miwako to dangerously tilt forward …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While downstairs, Richard is talking with Yukata when suddenly Miwako’s terror filled scream is heard. The group looks outside to see Miwako’s lifeless body laying on the ground, her head laying in a pool of her blood. The killer makes their way to Miwako’s laptop and begins deleting her manuscript and wiping the keyboard with a cloth. They walk out, noticing three women nearby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An investigation is launched into Miwako’s death and a saddened Yutaka proclaims that she committed suicide, though Richard isn’t ready to come to that conclusion yet. Inside Miwako’s room, they discover her laptop. Conan manages to recover a deleted file entitled “Nightmare Escape” from the laptop’s trash bin. It had been deleted at exactly 2:33, and Miwako’s death was approximately at 2:30, meaning someone had tampered with the laptop after Miwako was killed. An indention is found near the chair. Three women are interviewed as they were standing near Miwako’s room and all three did not see anything or anyone, with the exception of the bell girl, go in and out at the time of the crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three suspects are named: the hotel manager, Higashida, and two of his employees, the bell girl Shizuko Nishioka and hotel valet Toshiaki Kitagami. Their alibis and movements before, during, and after the crime are thoroughly checked. Higashida explains that there were no other guests on the 5th floor. Toshiaki and Shizuko were making beds and preparing rooms on opposite ends, and both state that they never went inside Miwako’s room. When a floppy disk outside in the bushes is discovered and one missing from Miwako’s collection is noted, Conan begins to suspect that Miwako’s brutal death was the product of foul play, but heavy hitting questions linger in the mind of the young determined detective: “Who else was in Miwako’s room, what could have made the imprint on the floor, and if truly a murder, how did the killer get out and away without being detected?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 2 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The fingerprints on Miwako&#039;s floppy disk reveals that the murderer of the case is &#039;&#039;&#039;Toshiaki Kitagami&#039;&#039;&#039; the valet. After leaving the crime scene, he crawled on the floor toward the other end of the hallway with &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuko Nishioka&#039;&#039;&#039; using the trolley to hide his presence. Conan reveals that the plot of Miwako&#039;s novel is actually based on Kitagawa and Nishioka, who are the conartists that decieved an old man and stole his fortune, and once the police contact the victim of the case it will be a decisive evidence against them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Kitagawa confesses that he and Nishioka are the suspects of the case that fled to the hotel after being chased by the authority. In a stroke of bad luck, they met Miwako who managed to deduce his identity as she was once a volunteer who took care of the old man that they had decieved. In exchange for not turning them to the police, Miwaki had Kitagawa tell her every single details regarding the crime, his feeling while committing it, and all of his escapes up until the present. Once he discovered that Miwako had written his and Nishioka&#039;s altered story into a novel, he sought to silence her before the final part that contains the fact that they&#039;re hiding at the hotel could be published. However, the two have a breakdown, as they realizes that even though they murdered her, their inescapable end cannot be changed, ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The solution to Chizu&#039;s puzzle is &amp;quot;Pitcher who throws&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで投げる) and &amp;quot;Use the Pitcher&amp;quot; (ピッチャーで使う), with both being based on Kojiro and Mayo&#039;s occupations. Arranging the 4 characters in the given order reveals that Chizu hid her bank account book inside the peanut box, her favorite snack. As the siblings fight with each other to claim their inheritance, Conan stops them and reveals that Chizu also hid a letter along with it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The letter contains an apology from Chizu as she had realized that she was too strict with her grandchildren, causing a great rift between the three of them. However, she still wanted Mayo and Kojiro to reconcile with each other, like during their happy days building the bird house together. Understanding their Chizu&#039;s true feeling, the siblings agree to return to live together at their grandmother house once again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Back at the Detective Agency, Conan finds Kogoro dead drunk and thinks to himself that Kojiro&#039;s plan of getting Kogoro to work for him for free wouldn&#039;t work in a million years.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals the culprit as &#039;&#039;&#039;Naoko Takahashi&#039;&#039;&#039;. After she murdered Akagawa, she sliced his corpse into thin layers and hid them in laboratory files. She accomplished this nearly impossible feat by use of the hospital’s rotary microtome, an instrument most commonly found in laboratories and research centers. A microtome can easily cut through bone, teeth, human flesh and tissue into extremely thin ribbons. Conan notices her relation to the victim when she confidently picked a red pen and gave it to Akagawa when he requested her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naoko&#039;s motive is, as suspected, because Akagawa broke up with her after he became a famous writer and married Yumi, and refused to honor her request to wrote the story of their time together into a novel. In anger and madness, she decided to kill him and &amp;quot;turned him into books&amp;quot; instead. After her grisly deeds are exposed, she feels no remorse for what’s done and maniacally laughs as she is arrested for murder.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuku Sakano&#039;&#039;&#039;. She used an extract of a Scopolia Japonica, a poisonous plant known to accelerate heartbeat mixed with muscle relaxant cream to murder Yoshizawa, by coating the cloth used during the Relay Race with it. Onigawara, who was in the race between her and Yoshizawa, was not poisoned because he was wearing gloves. Because Yoshizawa&#039;s gloves have been missing before the race, Shinichi concludes that she must&#039;ve stolen it to make sure that the victim&#039;s hands come into contact with the poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sakano confesses and reveals her motive: the rumor about the marriage between her and Yoshizawa was a lie, as she still loves her late husband, Shoichi&#039;s father. Because of her husband&#039;s death and her being busy as a teacher, Soichi became a delinquent and was regularly arrested by the police. Yoshizawa, who took Soichi from the station, would then extorted her each time in exchange for keeping quiet about Soichi&#039;s crime, but once her money began to run out he threatened to let Soichi be sent to the Youth detention center. Not wanting to part with her son, she decided to kill Yoshizawa and silenced him.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== The Mystery of the Murder-Arson ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 4 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Detective Boys and Ran help Kazuhiko Miyatake, a renown carpenter, in constructing a soil house for the wealthy Kaneo Zenita, in exchange for him giving wooden boards for Ran&#039;s Karate training. Later at night, while the four are on their Neighborhood Watch for arson crime, which has continued after had stopped three months ago, they find that Zenita&#039;s house that had just completes was burned down with Zenita himself inside it. The suspicion fall on Koji Kaji, an arsonist responsible for the most of the arson in the past, and Mana Zenita, who would benefit from Kaneo&#039;s death as the sole inheritor of his fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 5 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The wife of Zenita is able to provide an alibi during the time of the murder, as she was with her lover in Hawaii, causing the suspicion to immediately fall on Kaji. Although saddened that the house he built was destroyed, Miyatake invites the Detective Boys and Ran to his house to show his gratitude for their help. However, the Detective Boys discover a shocking truth about the arson, and the culprit behind it. With this information, they confront the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is the carpenter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kazuhiko Miyatake&#039;&#039;&#039;. Since Kaneo Zenita had planned to cook using the new kitchen which utilise strong flames, Kazuhiko sabotaged the structures of Kaneo&#039;s house by building them with worn out bamboos that was used to build Kazuhiko&#039;s own house before rather than fresh new bamboos. Fresh Bamboos are very hard to be ignited compared to already worn out bamboos, which is why Kaneo&#039;s house easily burn when he uses strong flames when cooking. Prior to the murder, he committed arson in the area that he had built houses in order to frame Koji Kaji, the original arsonist from three months ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Kazuhiko confesses that Kenzo illegally dumped poisonous chemical in the area that he unknowingly used the soil to build his own house, caused his wife and daughter to succumb to cancer and passed away last year ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Two months after his arrest, Kazuhiko passes away due to the same cancer, with Ran and Conan attending his funeral, noting that he passed away in peace. Conan also snarky comments that Kogoro is sure to live until he is a hundred years old.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The evidence is that she didn&#039;t known that apart from the sportcar accident and Kogoro flirting women that there is one more bigger accident that she supposed to acknowledge of nearby, due to the camera&#039;s position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saki confesses that she has always been envious of her sister, because Sayuri was the favorite child since the old days, became a famous idol and married, later divorced, her boyfriend Keiichi, but her last straw broke when Sayuri came to star in Saki&#039;s plays and performed even BETTER than her. She couldn&#039;t take it anymore as she didn&#039;t want to lose the applauding sound from the crowd to her.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== The Murderer with an Alibi ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, being accompanied by Ran and Conan, has a toothache and sets up an appointment at Ejinbara General Hospital to correct his issue. Through Kogoro’s words, his nurse, Tomoko Egashira, agrees to help but has problems of her own. She suspects the head nurse, Yuko Morita, has been attempting to murder her because she accidently discovered her secret. Kogoro agrees to assist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group arrives at the hospital, which is guarded by Man (he is unnamed). The Guard informs Kogoro that Ejinbara is an all-female exclusive dormitory. Kogoro introduces himself and is allowed access inside, where they encounter a small hamster in the hallway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro meets with Tomoko face to face who explains that her life is in mortal danger and it is because of Yuko. Tomoko states that Yuko has pushed her down a flight of stairs and has had garden pruners nearly fall on top of her. In one very creepy incident, Tomoko woke up one morning, only to find that Yuko had broken in her home, sitting at the edge of the bed holding a sharp syringe in hand. Yuko went into Tomoko’s bathroom, came back, and left without incident.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Tomoko told the higher ups of the situation, they laughed and brushed it off as Yuko, being the head nurse, is well respected and loved by virtually everyone on campus. The dormitory management system is designed to where people from outside can enter. That includes the head nurse Yuko, especially if she has a master key in her possession. Kogoro changes the locks on the door to give Tomoko at least an eased mind until he gets to the bottom of the matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the night goes on, Tomoko gets a call from the hospital staff saying they are short staffed and need her to come in as soon as possible. Tomoko leaves and heads for work, where they meet the head nurse for the first time, 41-year-old Yuko Morita. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Conan, and Kogoro are shocked as they do not pick up any bloodlust, murderous intent, or criminal malice from Yuko. Richard’s treatment begins and Yuko aids Tomoko in the dental procedure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 hours later, Kogoro is recovering while staking out at Tomoko’s dormitory. They notice Yuko chilling in their 4WD right beside the draining pipe that traverses the dormitory building with her fiancée who is a smoker. Yuko had just returned from picking up a cigarette butt that he threw out the window. More questions are raised as to why Tomoko is fearing that Yuko would try to murder her if Yuko is planning on getting married. Kogoro concludes that Tomoko is suffering from [[persecution complex]], a term used to describe people who feel they are being targeted without any evidence to support their claim. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomoko sits in her room, doors locked, windows latched, everything sealed, in a state of complete uncertainty. Her hands begin sweating, and her shirt builds perspiration. Even with Kogoro now holding the key to her newly changed locked door, Tomoko can not help but feel she’s going to die. She looks down to see Yuko and her fiancé’s car still running with Richard watching her carefully. Still, the feeling of impending doom is too much. She has her hands in her hair, wondering how Yuko will get to her. The thoughts of Yuko pushing Tomoko down the stairs, dropping potted plants from high places, and waking up with her holding a syringe, play out in her mind over and over as if it was a CD on repeat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro begins to drive home, until the Guard bangs on his car window with frantic news; Tomoko is not responding to any of his attempts at the door or by text message. Even banging on her door countless times doesn’t phase her. Yuko, still in her car with her fiancé, listens to the commotion with an eerie smile on her face. Conan notices Yuko’s car nearby that hasn’t moved an inch and she’s still inside. The Guard’s key doesn’t work because Kogoro changed the locks. Kogoro and the gang rush to Tomoko’s room to find Tomoko’s lifeless body lying on the floor with a visible bruise on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan quickly makes his observations and notices that Tomoko’s eyes have turned abnormally white and cloudy. Judging the state of the corpse, it has been 2-3 hours since Tomoko’s demise and it is highly believed that she had been poisoned. The poor girl most likely struggled for air in her last moments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the investigation, the CCTV footage and surveillance camera system monitored by Taiki show nobody approaching Tomoko’s room from the door and window. Since Richard only has the one key in the entire known universe to the newly changed lock and didn’t inform anyone, Tomoko’s room was completely sealed off to the rest of the outside world. In the evaluation of Tomoko’s mental state before her death and the shape of her apartment, Inspector Meguire concludes that Tomoko took her own life due to the heavy mental stress from her occupation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to Tomoko’s death, Richard had been asked to safeguard her from a potential murderer; that person is revealed to be Yuko Morita, the head nurse. Due to a busy schedule, Tomoko began to fear Yuko. Nevertheless, Meguire questions Yuko for her whereabouts and alibi, to which Yuko grins and passes the question to Richard. Richard reluctantly confirms Yuko’s alibi and whereabouts as having been in her car riding around with her fiancé; she never once approached Tomoko’s apartment. Meguire confirms is thoughts on suicide, but Conan isn’t convinced. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a series of “accidents”, Tomoko Egashira hired Richard Moore to protect her from a possible murder attempt that was to be carried out by her superior, head nurse Yuko Morita. After locking herself in her dormitory with Richard the only one having access to and from it, Tomoko was still killed inside in what the Inspector believed was a tragic suicide. There is no doubts to be had: Ejinbara Head of Nurses Yuko Morita murdered Tomoko. She made Tomoko’s last moments on Earth a living Hell, having made the poor girl suffer brutally and slowly until there was no more life in her body. Conan intends to make Yuko pay for what she’s done, but one obstacle remains: HOW DID YUKO GET INSIDE A PERFECTLY SEALED ROOM WITHOUT BEING SEEN OR DETECTED??&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomoko Egashira is dead in what appears to be a stress-induced suicide, and no one couldn’t be more happier to see her corpse than the prime suspect, Ejinbara Head of Nurses, Yuko Marita, whose medical career spans a decade and a half, and is well known and respected in the field of medicine. While Tomoko’s corpse is taken for an autopsy, Conan knows that Tomoko didn’t kill herself, but just like all her patients, Yuko took care of that on her own. The only question remains: how?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After seeing for herself that Tomoko is dead and gone and having Richard reluctantly verifying her perfect alibi, Yuko smugly asks to be excused to her room. A police officer appears with results from Tomoko’s autopsy have came in. It is revealed that she died from carbon monoxide poisoning and another unidentified substance was found in her system, giving a 3/3 ratio. Carbon monoxide accounted for 2/3, while the unknown substance makes up the remaining 1/3. This type of poisoning can occur when breathing in carbon monoxide at excess levels. One can experience dizziness, vomitting, headaches, chest pain, overall weakness in lower levels. Chronic fatigue, memory issues, and death may occur in higher doses and levels. People who tend to use a kerosene stove or a heating burner during the winter months are subjected to carbon monoxide poisoning due to a poor ventilation system in place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given the fact that it is midsummer, the chance of Tomoko dying from carbon monoxide poisoning is a surprise. Her apartment is well maintained and has adequate ventilation. How could one prepare such large amounts of carbon monoxide to get into the room? As the investigation continues, police have discovered a dead rat-like creature on the bathroom floor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel and Conan quickly identify it as the cute little hamster from earlier. It belonged to Tomoko, but how it died and why it smells like stinky sewage water is a mystery. &lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a moment of clarity and goes to check the drainage pipe in the bathroom. He notices that it can come loose and confirms his suspicions that head nurse Yuko Morita is the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; Conan, without hesitation, instantly puts Richard to sleep with his wristwatch tranquilizer dart and explains that the poor Tomoko did not commit suicide but was maliciously killed by way of the drainage pipe in the bathroom. The killer pumped carbon monoxide by the tons that resulted in the cruel deaths of Tomoko and her beloved pet hamster, Kari. The results in Tomoko’s autopsy had stated that she died as a result of carbon monoxide poisoning, but there was also another chemical present in her system. The drainage pipes extend to the top of the dormitory building from the ground. Pumping such large amounts of carbon monoxide would require a considerable amount of gasoline or an oversized stove or burner. Taking into consideration the first option, there was a large 4-wheel drive vehicle parked in the back of the building: that vehicle belongs to &#039;&#039;&#039;Yuko Morita&#039;&#039;&#039;, who is revealed to be the killer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tonight was a bit hot and humid, so normally Tomoko had her air conditioning unit on, thus having her windows closed. Tomoko’s apartment is narrow as well, so the carbon monoxide coming in would expand and fill up in no time. To ensure Tomoko suffered a slow painful death with no chance of survival, Yuko pumped nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, into Tomoko’s room first, rendering her unconscious for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the other 1/3 unidentified chemical that was found in Tomoko’s system, now completing the 3/3 ratio. As the head of nurses at Ejinbara Hospital, Yuko can get laughing gas with ease and no one would question her if caught outside the hospital with it due to her high rank position. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yuko was aware that her movements were being watched. She took advantage of this and created an alibi by pretending to pick up cigarette butts outside by the building. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although other people were home at the time and the draining pipe is connected to all the units, only Tomoko was killed. The S-shaped drains are infamously known to be the direct link of cockroaches, sewer water, and rats passing into homes causing infections and diseases for the occupants. For that reason, s-shaped drains have been banned from the plumbing code and it is advised to have it replaced. Water is collected at the s-shaped part of the drain, thereby preventing the aforementioned items from getting inside. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also noteworthy of the S-shaped sink drain pipes are that they are mostly subjected to a phenomenon called capillary action, the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space in opposition to or at least without the assistance of any external forces like gravity. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Capillary comes from the Latin word capillaris, meaning &amp;quot;of or resembling hair&amp;quot;. The meaning comes from the tiny, hairlike diameter of a capillary. For example, if one is to put just a part of a towel in a small bowl of water, the liquid would be absorbed and most of the towel will be wet. If there is lint or long hair in the S-shaped drain, water will channel through and end up in the drain. With no water inside the S-shaped drain to block anything coming in or out, Yuko proceeded to murder Tomoko Egashira. This is evidenced by the fact that the hamster was able to crawl its way in and out of the drain without any resistance. Unfortunately, it met the same brutal fate as its master. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Inspector removes the S-shaped drain and there is a long band of hairs. Tomoko is a short haired woman, while Yuko sports a long hairstyle. Tomoko has said and made valid complaints that Yuko has been inside her dormitory without her expressed consent. During one of these visits and most likely while Tomoko was asleep given that all her previous attempts at harming her would end in failure, Yuko went to the bathroom, made her way to the S-shaped drain, cut a long piece of her hair and left it in to ensure all water going through would pass and not be collected as explained earlier. Though Yuko denies it, Conan, using Richard’s voice, confirms that through a DNA test, they will compare the hairs in the drain to Yuko’s hair and have a perfect match. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Defeated, Yuko confesses to murdering Tomoko. Her motive was that she made a clinical error while on duty. One night at work, she gave a patient the wrong medication. The honest accidental mix-up ended up leading Kenji to die of organ failure. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the patient’s death was a legitimate accident (and no formal investigation was conducted into that matter), Tomoko just happened to be there at the time. Fearing the possibility of having her wedding canceled, being blackmailed, on top of wanting to be happy and not get caught, she resorted to killing her colleague without detection in order to protect her own sanity. In an act of irony moved by the hands of justice, that failed too. Conan concludes, “Happiness can not be built on the suffering and misfortune of others”, as Yuko bursts into tears and is arrested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The next day, the clinical error made by Yuko is looked at and it is discovered that she was one of three nurses working the floor and there were as many as 50 patients admitted that night. Rachel expresses sympathy for Yuko as jobs in the medical field are stressful and unforgiving. Richard gorges himself in sweets, believing he can eat as many as he wants without worrying about cavities forming in his mouth. Suddenly, another toothache strikes Richard with Conan laughing, ending the story arc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals the culprit as &#039;&#039;&#039;Naoko Takahashi&#039;&#039;&#039;. After she murdered Akagawa, she sliced his corpse into thin layers and hid them in laboratory files. She accomplished this nearly impossible feat by use of the hospital’s rotary microtome, an instrument most commonly found in laboratories and research centers. A microtome can easily cut through bone, teeth, human flesh and tissue into extremely thin ribbons. Conan notices her relation to the victim when she confidently picked a red pen and gave it to Akagawa when he requested her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naoko&#039;s motive is, as suspected, because Akagawa broke up with her after he became a famous writer and married Yumi, and refused to honor her request to wrote the story of their time together into a novel. In anger and madness, she decided to kill him and &amp;quot;turned him into books&amp;quot; instead. After her grisly deeds are exposed, she feels no remorse for what’s done and maniacally laughs as she is arrested for murder.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuku Sakano&#039;&#039;&#039;. She used an extract of a Scopolia Japonica, a poisonous plant known to accelerate heartbeat mixed with muscle relaxant cream to murder Yoshizawa, by coating the cloth used during the Relay Race with it. Onigawara, who was in the race between her and Yoshizawa, was not poisoned because he was wearing gloves. Because Yoshizawa&#039;s gloves have been missing before the race, Shinichi concludes that she must&#039;ve stolen it to make sure that the victim&#039;s hands come into contact with the poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sakano confesses and reveals her motive: the rumor about the marriage between her and Yoshizawa was a lie, as she still loves her late husband, Shoichi&#039;s father. Because of her husband&#039;s death and her being busy as a teacher, Soichi became a delinquent and was regularly arrested by the police. Yoshizawa, who took Soichi from the station, would then extorted her each time in exchange for keeping quiet about Soichi&#039;s crime, but once her money began to run out he threatened to let Soichi be sent to the Youth detention center. Not wanting to part with her son, she decided to kill Yoshizawa and silenced him.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== The Mystery of the Murder-Arson ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 4 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Detective Boys and Ran help Kazuhiko Miyatake, a renown carpenter, in constructing a soil house for the wealthy Kaneo Zenita, in exchange for him giving wooden boards for Ran&#039;s Karate training. Later at night, while the four are on their Neighborhood Watch for arson crime, which has continued after had stopped three months ago, they find that Zenita&#039;s house that had just completes was burned down with Zenita himself inside it. The suspicion fall on Koji Kaji, an arsonist responsible for the most of the arson in the past, and Mana Zenita, who would benefit from Kaneo&#039;s death as the sole inheritor of his fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 5 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The wife of Zenita is able to provide an alibi during the time of the murder, as she was with her lover in Hawaii, causing the suspicion to immediately fall on Kaji. Although saddened that the house he built was destroyed, Miyatake invites the Detective Boys and Ran to his house to show his gratitude for their help. However, the Detective Boys discover a shocking truth about the arson, and the culprit behind it. With this information, they confront the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is the carpenter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kazuhiko Miyatake&#039;&#039;&#039;. Since Kaneo Zenita had planned to cook using the new kitchen which utilise strong flames, Kazuhiko sabotaged the structures of Kaneo&#039;s house by building them with worn out bamboos that was used to build Kazuhiko&#039;s own house before rather than fresh new bamboos. Fresh Bamboos are very hard to be ignited compared to already worn out bamboos, which is why Kaneo&#039;s house easily burn when he uses strong flames when cooking. Prior to the murder, he committed arson in the area that he had built houses in order to frame Koji Kaji, the original arsonist from three months ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Kazuhiko confesses that Kenzo illegally dumped poisonous chemical in the area that he unknowingly used the soil to build his own house, caused his wife and daughter to succumb to cancer and passed away last year ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Two months after his arrest, Kazuhiko passes away due to the same cancer, with Ran and Conan attending his funeral, noting that he passed away in peace. Conan also snarky comments that Kogoro is sure to live until he is a hundred years old.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Saki Kataoka&#039;&#039;&#039;, Sayuri&#039;s sister. She used her computer to watch through internet camera at the town crossroad to makeup an alibi. The evidence is that she didn&#039;t known that apart from the sportcar accident and Kogoro flirting women that there is one more bigger accident that she supposed to acknowledge of nearby, due to the camera&#039;s position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saki confesses that she has always been envious of her sister, because Sayuri was the favorite child since the old days, became a famous idol and married, later divorced, her boyfriend Keiichi, but her last straw broke when Sayuri came to star in Saki&#039;s plays and performed even BETTER than her. She couldn&#039;t take it anymore as she didn&#039;t want to lose the applauding sound from the crowd to her.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== The Murderer with an Alibi ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 8 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, being accompanied by Ran and Conan, has a toothache and sets up an appointment at Ejinbara General Hospital to correct his issue. Through Kogoro’s words, his nurse, Tomoko Egashira, agrees to help but has problems of her own. She suspects the head nurse, Yuko Morita, has been attempting to murder her because she accidently discovered her secret. Kogoro agrees to assist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group arrives at the hospital, which is guarded by Man (he is unnamed). The Guard informs Kogoro that Ejinbara is an all-female exclusive dormitory. Kogoro introduces himself and is allowed access inside, where they encounter a small hamster in the hallway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro meets with Tomoko face to face who explains that her life is in mortal danger and it is because of Yuko. Tomoko states that Yuko has pushed her down a flight of stairs and has had garden pruners nearly fall on top of her. In one very creepy incident, Tomoko woke up one morning, only to find that Yuko had broken in her home, sitting at the edge of the bed holding a sharp syringe in hand. Yuko went into Tomoko’s bathroom, came back, and left without incident.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Tomoko told the higher ups of the situation, they laughed and brushed it off as Yuko, being the head nurse, is well respected and loved by virtually everyone on campus. The dormitory management system is designed to where people from outside can enter. That includes the head nurse Yuko, especially if she has a master key in her possession. Kogoro changes the locks on the door to give Tomoko at least an eased mind until he gets to the bottom of the matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the night goes on, Tomoko gets a call from the hospital staff saying they are short staffed and need her to come in as soon as possible. Tomoko leaves and heads for work, where they meet the head nurse for the first time, 41-year-old Yuko Morita. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Conan, and Kogoro are shocked as they do not pick up any bloodlust, murderous intent, or criminal malice from Yuko. Richard’s treatment begins and Yuko aids Tomoko in the dental procedure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 hours later, Kogoro is recovering while staking out at Tomoko’s dormitory. They notice Yuko chilling in their 4WD right beside the draining pipe that traverses the dormitory building with her fiancée who is a smoker. Yuko had just returned from picking up a cigarette butt that he threw out the window. More questions are raised as to why Tomoko is fearing that Yuko would try to murder her if Yuko is planning on getting married. Kogoro concludes that Tomoko is suffering from [[persecution complex]], a term used to describe people who feel they are being targeted without any evidence to support their claim. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomoko sits in her room, doors locked, windows latched, everything sealed, in a state of complete uncertainty. Her hands begin sweating, and her shirt builds perspiration. Even with Kogoro now holding the key to her newly changed locked door, Tomoko can not help but feel she’s going to die. She looks down to see Yuko and her fiancé’s car still running with Richard watching her carefully. Still, the feeling of impending doom is too much. She has her hands in her hair, wondering how Yuko will get to her. The thoughts of Yuko pushing Tomoko down the stairs, dropping potted plants from high places, and waking up with her holding a syringe, play out in her mind over and over as if it was a CD on repeat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro begins to drive home, until the Guard bangs on his car window with frantic news; Tomoko is not responding to any of his attempts at the door or by text message. Even banging on her door countless times doesn’t phase her. Yuko, still in her car with her fiancé, listens to the commotion with an eerie smile on her face. Conan notices Yuko’s car nearby that hasn’t moved an inch and she’s still inside. The Guard’s key doesn’t work because Kogoro changed the locks. Kogoro and the gang rush to Tomoko’s room to find Tomoko’s lifeless body lying on the floor with a visible bruise on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan quickly makes his observations and notices that Tomoko’s eyes have turned abnormally white and cloudy. Judging the state of the corpse, it has been 2-3 hours since Tomoko’s demise and it is highly believed that she had been poisoned. The poor girl most likely struggled for air in her last moments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the investigation, the CCTV footage and surveillance camera system monitored by Taiki show nobody approaching Tomoko’s room from the door and window. Since Richard only has the one key in the entire known universe to the newly changed lock and didn’t inform anyone, Tomoko’s room was completely sealed off to the rest of the outside world. In the evaluation of Tomoko’s mental state before her death and the shape of her apartment, Inspector Meguire concludes that Tomoko took her own life due to the heavy mental stress from her occupation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to Tomoko’s death, Richard had been asked to safeguard her from a potential murderer; that person is revealed to be Yuko Morita, the head nurse. Due to a busy schedule, Tomoko began to fear Yuko. Nevertheless, Meguire questions Yuko for her whereabouts and alibi, to which Yuko grins and passes the question to Richard. Richard reluctantly confirms Yuko’s alibi and whereabouts as having been in her car riding around with her fiancé; she never once approached Tomoko’s apartment. Meguire confirms is thoughts on suicide, but Conan isn’t convinced. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a series of “accidents”, Tomoko Egashira hired Richard Moore to protect her from a possible murder attempt that was to be carried out by her superior, head nurse Yuko Morita. After locking herself in her dormitory with Richard the only one having access to and from it, Tomoko was still killed inside in what the Inspector believed was a tragic suicide. There is no doubts to be had: Ejinbara Head of Nurses Yuko Morita murdered Tomoko. She made Tomoko’s last moments on Earth a living Hell, having made the poor girl suffer brutally and slowly until there was no more life in her body. Conan intends to make Yuko pay for what she’s done, but one obstacle remains: HOW DID YUKO GET INSIDE A PERFECTLY SEALED ROOM WITHOUT BEING SEEN OR DETECTED??&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 9 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomoko Egashira is dead in what appears to be a stress-induced suicide, and no one couldn’t be more happier to see her corpse than the prime suspect, Ejinbara Head of Nurses, Yuko Marita, whose medical career spans a decade and a half, and is well known and respected in the field of medicine. While Tomoko’s corpse is taken for an autopsy, Conan knows that Tomoko didn’t kill herself, but just like all her patients, Yuko took care of that on her own. The only question remains: how?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After seeing for herself that Tomoko is dead and gone and having Richard reluctantly verifying her perfect alibi, Yuko smugly asks to be excused to her room. A police officer appears with results from Tomoko’s autopsy have came in. It is revealed that she died from carbon monoxide poisoning and another unidentified substance was found in her system, giving a 3/3 ratio. Carbon monoxide accounted for 2/3, while the unknown substance makes up the remaining 1/3. This type of poisoning can occur when breathing in carbon monoxide at excess levels. One can experience dizziness, vomitting, headaches, chest pain, overall weakness in lower levels. Chronic fatigue, memory issues, and death may occur in higher doses and levels. People who tend to use a kerosene stove or a heating burner during the winter months are subjected to carbon monoxide poisoning due to a poor ventilation system in place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given the fact that it is midsummer, the chance of Tomoko dying from carbon monoxide poisoning is a surprise. Her apartment is well maintained and has adequate ventilation. How could one prepare such large amounts of carbon monoxide to get into the room? As the investigation continues, police have discovered a dead rat-like creature on the bathroom floor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rachel and Conan quickly identify it as the cute little hamster from earlier. It belonged to Tomoko, but how it died and why it smells like stinky sewage water is a mystery. &lt;br /&gt;
Conan has a moment of clarity and goes to check the drainage pipe in the bathroom. He notices that it can come loose and confirms his suspicions that head nurse Yuko Morita is the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is the head of nurses &#039;&#039;&#039;Yuko Morita&#039;&#039;&#039;. She used the 4 WD car&#039;s muffler that her fiance is driving to send carbon-dixode gas into Egashira&#039;s room via the drain pipe, which she send sleeping gas in first. Before committing the crime she went to Egashira&#039;s room to put a strand of hair to drain out all water from the sink&#039;s pipe. The evidence is that hamster was able to enter the room through draining pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morita confessed that she once caused a malpractice due to the fact that she gave wrong medicine to people with same name and caused his death. Egashira accidentally know about this, so she silenced her. She just want to get married and be happy, which Conan tells that &amp;quot;One cannot be happy over other&#039;s suffering&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afterward, Ran and Conan symphatize with Morita after they discovered that on the day of the malpractice there were only three nurses compared to fifty patients. Kogoro then gets a toothache again.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals the culprit as &#039;&#039;&#039;Naoko Takahashi&#039;&#039;&#039;. After she murdered Akagawa, she sliced his corpse into thin layers and hid them in laboratory files. She accomplished this nearly impossible feat by use of the hospital’s rotary microtome, an instrument most commonly found in laboratories and research centers. A microtome can easily cut through bone, teeth, human flesh and tissue into extremely thin ribbons. Conan notices her relation to the victim when she confidently picked a red pen and gave it to Akagawa when he requested her.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naoko&#039;s motive is, as suspected, because Akagawa broke up with her after he became a famous writer and married Yumi, and refused to honor her request to wrote the story of their time together into a novel. In anger and madness, she decided to kill him and &amp;quot;turned him into books&amp;quot; instead. After her grisly deeds are exposed, she feels no remorse for what’s done and maniacally laughs as she is arrested for murder.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Shizuku Sakano&#039;&#039;&#039;. She used an extract of a Scopolia Japonica, a poisonous plant known to accelerate heartbeat mixed with muscle relaxant cream to murder Yoshizawa, by coating the cloth used during the Relay Race with it. Onigawara, who was in the race between her and Yoshizawa, was not poisoned because he was wearing gloves. Because Yoshizawa&#039;s gloves have been missing before the race, Shinichi concludes that she must&#039;ve stolen it to make sure that the victim&#039;s hands come into contact with the poison.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sakano confesses and reveals her motive: the rumor about the marriage between her and Yoshizawa was a lie, as she still loves her late husband, Shoichi&#039;s father. Because of her husband&#039;s death and her being busy as a teacher, Soichi became a delinquent and was regularly arrested by the police. Yoshizawa, who took Soichi from the station, would then extorted her each time in exchange for keeping quiet about Soichi&#039;s crime, but once her money began to run out he threatened to let Soichi be sent to the Youth detention center. Not wanting to part with her son, she decided to kill Yoshizawa and silenced him.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== The Mystery of the Murder-Arson ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 4 - Part 1 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The Detective Boys and Ran help Kazuhiko Miyatake, a renown carpenter, in constructing a soil house for the wealthy Kaneo Zenita, in exchange for him giving wooden boards for Ran&#039;s Karate training. Later at night, while the four are on their Neighborhood Watch for arson crime, which has continued after had stopped three months ago, they find that Zenita&#039;s house that had just completes was burned down with Zenita himself inside it. The suspicion fall on Koji Kaji, an arsonist responsible for the most of the arson in the past, and Mana Zenita, who would benefit from Kaneo&#039;s death as the sole inheritor of his fortune.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 5 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
The wife of Zenita is able to provide an alibi during the time of the murder, as she was with her lover in Hawaii, causing the suspicion to immediately fall on Kaji. Although saddened that the house he built was destroyed, Miyatake invites the Detective Boys and Ran to his house to show his gratitude for their help. However, the Detective Boys discover a shocking truth about the arson, and the culprit behind it. With this information, they confront the culprit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is the carpenter, &#039;&#039;&#039;Kazuhiko Miyatake&#039;&#039;&#039;. Since Kaneo Zenita had planned to cook using the new kitchen which utilise strong flames, Kazuhiko sabotaged the structures of Kaneo&#039;s house by building them with worn out bamboos that was used to build Kazuhiko&#039;s own house before rather than fresh new bamboos. Fresh Bamboos are very hard to be ignited compared to already worn out bamboos, which is why Kaneo&#039;s house easily burn when he uses strong flames when cooking. Prior to the murder, he committed arson in the area that he had built houses in order to frame Koji Kaji, the original arsonist from three months ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Kazuhiko confesses that Kenzo illegally dumped poisonous chemical in the area that he unknowingly used the soil to build his own house, caused his wife and daughter to succumb to cancer and passed away last year ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Two months after his arrest, Kazuhiko passes away due to the same cancer, with Ran and Conan attending his funeral, noting that he passed away in peace. Conan also snarky comments that Kogoro is sure to live until he is a hundred years old.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The evidence is that she didn&#039;t known that apart from the sportcar accident and Kogoro flirting women that there is one more bigger accident that she supposed to acknowledge of nearby, due to the camera&#039;s position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Saki confesses that she has always been envious of her sister, because Sayuri was the favorite child since the old days, became a famous idol and married, later divorced, her boyfriend Keiichi, but her last straw broke when Sayuri came to star in Saki&#039;s plays and performed even BETTER than her.

Kogoro, being accompanied by Ran and Conan, has a toothache and sets up an appointment at Ejinbara General Hospital to correct his issue. Through Kogoro’s words, his nurse, Tomoko Egashira, agrees to help but has problems of her own. She suspects the head nurse, Yuko Morita, has been attempting to murder her because she accidently discovered her secret. Kogoro agrees to assist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group arrives at the hospital, which is guarded by Man (he is unnamed). The Guard informs Kogoro that Ejinbara is an all-female exclusive dormitory. Kogoro introduces himself and is allowed access inside, where they encounter a small hamster in the hallway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro meets with Tomoko face to face who explains that her life is in mortal danger and it is because of Yuko. Tomoko states that Yuko has pushed her down a flight of stairs and has had garden pruners nearly fall on top of her. In one very creepy incident, Tomoko woke up one morning, only to find that Yuko had broken in her home, sitting at the edge of the bed holding a sharp syringe in hand. Yuko went into Tomoko’s bathroom, came back, and left without incident.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Tomoko told the higher ups of the situation, they laughed and brushed it off as Yuko, being the head nurse, is well respected and loved by virtually everyone on campus. The dormitory management system is designed to where people from outside can enter. That includes the head nurse Yuko, especially if she has a master key in her possession. Kogoro changes the locks on the door to give Tomoko at least an eased mind until he gets to the bottom of the matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the night goes on, Tomoko gets a call from the hospital staff saying they are short staffed and need her to come in as soon as possible. Tomoko leaves and heads for work, where they meet the head nurse for the first time, 41-year-old Yuko Morita. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran, Conan, and Kogoro are shocked as they do not pick up any bloodlust, murderous intent, or criminal malice from Yuko. Richard’s treatment begins and Yuko aids Tomoko in the dental procedure.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3 hours later, Kogoro is recovering while staking out at Tomoko’s dormitory. They notice Yuko chilling in their 4WD right beside the draining pipe that traverses the dormitory building with her fiancée who is a smoker. Yuko had just returned from picking up a cigarette butt that he threw out the window. More questions are raised as to why Tomoko is fearing that Yuko would try to murder her if Yuko is planning on getting married. Kogoro concludes that Tomoko is suffering from [[persecution complex]], a term used to describe people who feel they are being targeted without any evidence to support their claim. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tomoko sits in her room, doors locked, windows latched, everything sealed, in a state of complete uncertainty. Her hands begin sweating, and her shirt builds perspiration. Even with Kogoro now holding the key to her newly changed locked door, Tomoko can not help but feel she’s going to die. She looks down to see Yuko and her fiancé’s car still running with Richard watching her carefully. Still, the feeling of impending doom is too much. She has her hands in her hair, wondering how Yuko will get to her. The thoughts of Yuko pushing Tomoko down the stairs, dropping potted plants from high places, and waking up with her holding a syringe, play out in her mind over and over as if it was a CD on repeat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro begins to drive home, until the Guard bangs on his car window with frantic news; Tomoko is not responding to any of his attempts at the door or by text message. Even banging on her door countless times doesn’t phase her. Yuko, still in her car with her fiancé, listens to the commotion with an eerie smile on her face. Conan notices Yuko’s car nearby that hasn’t moved an inch and she’s still inside. The Guard’s key doesn’t work because Kogoro changed the locks. Kogoro and the gang rush to Tomoko’s room to find Tomoko’s lifeless body lying on the floor with a visible bruise on her neck.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan quickly makes his observations and notices that Tomoko’s eyes have turned abnormally white and cloudy. Judging the state of the corpse, it has been 2-3 hours since Tomoko’s demise and it is highly believed that she had been poisoned. The poor girl most likely struggled for air in her last moments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the investigation, the CCTV footage and surveillance camera system monitored by Taiki show nobody approaching Tomoko’s room from the door and window. Since Richard only has the one key in the entire known universe to the newly changed lock and didn’t inform anyone, Tomoko’s room was completely sealed off to the rest of the outside world. In the evaluation of Tomoko’s mental state before her death and the shape of her apartment, Inspector Meguire concludes that Tomoko took her own life due to the heavy mental stress from her occupation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to Tomoko’s death, Richard had been asked to safeguard her from a potential murderer; that person is revealed to be Yuko Morita, the head nurse. Due to a busy schedule, Tomoko began to fear Yuko. Nevertheless, Meguire questions Yuko for her whereabouts and alibi, to which Yuko grins and passes the question to Richard. Richard reluctantly confirms Yuko’s alibi and whereabouts as having been in her car riding around with her fiancé; she never once approached Tomoko’s apartment. Meguire confirms is thoughts on suicide, but Conan isn’t convinced. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a series of “accidents”, Tomoko Egashira hired Richard Moore to protect her from a possible murder attempt that was to be carried out by her superior, head nurse Yuko Morita. After locking herself in her dormitory with Richard the only one having access to and from it, Tomoko was still killed inside in what the Inspector believed was a tragic suicide. There is no doubts to be had: Ejinbara Head of Nurses Yuko Morita murdered Tomoko. She made Tomoko’s last moments on Earth a living Hell, having made the poor girl suffer brutally and slowly until there was no more life in her body. Conan intends to make Yuko pay for what she’s done, but one obstacle remains: HOW DID YUKO GET INSIDE A PERFECTLY SEALED ROOM WITHOUT BEING SEEN OR DETECTED??&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The culprit is the head of nurses &#039;&#039;&#039;Yuko Morita&#039;&#039;&#039;. She used the 4 WD car&#039;s muffler that her fiance is driving to send carbon-dixode gas into Egashira&#039;s room via the drain pipe, which she send sleeping gas in first. Before committing the crime she went to Egashira&#039;s room to put a strand of hair to drain out all water from the sink&#039;s pipe. The evidence is that hamster was able to enter the room through draining pipe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Morita confessed that she once caused a malpractice due to the fact that she gave wrong medicine to people with same name and caused his death. Egashira accidentally know about this, so she silenced her. She just want to get married and be happy, which Conan tells that &amp;quot;One cannot be happy over other&#039;s suffering&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Afterward, Ran and Conan symphatize with Morita after they discovered that on the day of the malpractice there were only three nurses compared to fifty patients. Kogoro then gets a toothache again.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are enjoying their time at the Historic Fudo Falls Inn and Resort, located on the shores of Fudo Lake in the gently rolling hills of northern Japan. During their stay, Kogoro encounters award-winning author Miyabi Shoko, who is enjoying fame from her previous work but is also suffering from exhaustion. Along with Miyabi are her two companions: magazine editor Katsuya Otaka and Kanaya Chisato.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miyabi is currently working the finishing touches to her latest story while Katsuya states that he chose Fudo Inn for Miyabi to work in a peaceful environment. She states that Katsuya had alternative motives for bringing her here which was to cut her times to rest and play and just focus on her work. Katsuya offers her to go on an hour-long hike through the hills. Walking on the trail for an hour will lead one to the beautiful Fudo Falls. Miyabi personally asks Kogoro’s group to join them, to which they accept. Katsuya asks that everyone meet at the dock by one o’clock where he has a paddle boat waiting for them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group meets as planned and they trek from the inn to Fudo Falls in roughly an hour. Kogoro, Conan, and Ran head for the boat dock on the lake while Katsuya and Miyabi venture off on their own. Kogoro asks Kanaya if they have a romantic connection to which she claims no knowledge of. Katsuya rejoins the group soaking wet, but without Miyabi. They ask for her whereabouts but Katsuya claims to have fallen in the creek and walked in a different direction while Miyabi walked off on her own. They search for her, believing she is nearby, but to no avail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanaya states that Miyabi has a tendency to leave abruptly without telling anyone, even at parties, but her behavior has been unsettling since they arrived. Katsuya insists that they continue on with the boat ride believing Miyabi went back to her hotel room and is sleeping; all agree. With everyone onboard, the boat’s rim sits very close to the lake’s surface. Kanaya snaps pictures of everyone on the boat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the boat ride through Fudo Lake, everyone returns back to the docks and heads back inside the hotel expecting to find Miyabi, but she herself is nowhere to be found. Kanaya goes to Miyabi’s room and finds it empty. Believing she may be in the back, Kanaya exits the back door and makes a grisly discovery. She screams, causing the others to rush to her aid. They find Miyabi’s semi-surmerged lifeless nude body in the open air bath covered in bloody water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly disturbed Kogoro takes charge and goes to investigate, noticing a bloody sharp straight razor blade near the bath. He pulls Miyabi’s arm out of the water and discovers cuts to her wrists, coming to the conclusion that Miyabi did herself in. Kogoro commands Ran to call the police as Kanaya breaks down in tears over Miyabi’s sudden death. Kogoro examines the body and states that Makayla had been deceased for a little over an hour. Around that time, everyone was on the boat riding around Lake Fudo. That’s when it is believed that Miyabi came back to the inn after returning from the waterfall, and she tragically took her own life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The belief that Miyabi committed suicide is a rather confusing statement in itself. Although she was suffering from epilepsy and writer’s block, nothing warranted a dramatic event as this. Miyabi was invited by Katsuya to give her a change of scenery and pace, but not even he could have thought that it would turn out this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran returns with news that the police has been delayed in arriving on the scene due to the sudden landslide that’s blocking their only entrance. Kogoro remains in control of the case as Conan notices something odd with the clothes baskets and slippers in front of the door of Miyabi’s room. The clothes Conan changed out of have disappeared. The clothes and shoes that Miyabi wore aren’t present either. Conan wonders if Miyabi could have came outside bare naked but Kogoro strongly disagrees. Kogoro now believes that Miyabi’s life wasn’t taken of her own accord, but by someone else’s and was made to look like suicide. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both Katsuya and Kanaya deny any involvement in Miyabi’s death. Katsuya states that everyone was together when they met at Fudo Falls. Moreover, according to Kogoro himself, Miyabi’s time of death was a little more than an hour ago, during which, everyone was in the middle of Fudo Lake on the boat. There is, given the circumstances, no way that one could have murdered Miyabi and returned to the inn, body in hand, without avoiding detection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro points out that while everyone was together for a while, they also had some free time. Katsuya, now bearing a confident grin, was the last person to see Miyabi alive as they both ventured deeper into the woods. Kogoro begins applying pressure on Katsuya, flat out accusing him of murdering Miyabi at the waterfall, took her corpse to the inn, and dumped her body in the open air bath while making it look like a suicide. Conan waits for the bombshell as Katsuya not only denies again, but also states that it is impossible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanaya is quietly removed from Kogoro’s suspect list as tensions between him and Katsuya continue to rise. Katsuya states that he is innocent of all wrongdoing Kogoro is accusing him of because it would take one hour to walk from Fudo Inn to Fudo Falls, two hours on a round trip. Even by use of a boat through Fudo Lake, the waterfall to the inn is 30 minutes to and an hour tops back, and Katsuya was never seen carrying a corpse in his hands. Anyone who would have seen Katsuya carrying a corpse in broad daylight would have almost immediately said something. He, in fact, left and returned with empty hands and no materials to smuggle Miyabi’s corpse back to the inn, considering if she was killed somewhere else. To add insult to an already bleeding wound, Kogoro and his group are unwitting witnesses to those facts, whether they want to admit it or not. Kogoro himself is left temporarily speechless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katsuya continues to taunt Kogoro for not noticing the routes and questions his status as a great detective, causing him to grow more frustrated by the second. With all his basis covered, Kogoro has no choice but to remove Katsuya remove from the suspect list as well, but Conan believes that he is the killer. Accepting the proposal and challenge laid before him, Conan smiles and internally calls Katsuya’s moves excellent, while thinking to himself how he will expose the method and him as the cold blooded monster he truly is as Kogoro and Katsuya close out File 5 with an intense stare down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 6 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The standoff between Kogoro and Katsuya, the freshly crowned prime suspect in the brutal death of novelist Miyabi Shoko, comes to a close as Katsuya maintains his innocence. Katsuya states that he was alone for 30 minutes and it would take one person an hour to walk from Fudo Falls to the resort by foot and 30 minutes by boat through the lake. Kogoro claims that Katsuya used some bike and stashed in the mountains where Katsuya challenges him to go find it. Conan sneaks off to speak with the innkeeper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan finds Katsuya’s confidence offense, as opposed to him feeling sadden over Miyabi’s death just moments prior. Granted that it isn’t a good feeling to be accused of murder, but Katsuya’s character and demeanor has changed to that of an arrogant and cocky person, almost as if had been planned in advance. Katsuya was definitely with the rest of the group and he was seen carrying no corpse in his hands, that is a cold hard fact. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a random person killed Miyabi out in the woods, why was it important to bring the corpse back to the resort? That poses a risk of getting caught then arrested. Why not just dump the corpse into Lake Fudo and called it a day. If Katsuya is the killer, he had to have murdered Miyabi somewhere else, meaning the crime scene at her open-air bath was a lie and somewhere else, most likely Fudo Falls which was Miyabi’s last known location. Nevertheless, the body still made its way back to the resort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan sees Miyabi’s body laying on the floor with a bedsheet covering most of it with the exception of her hair. He notices something caught in the hair which turns out to be algae, an aquatic plant of a large group that includes the seaweeds and many single-celled forms. Conan detects no algae growing in the open air bath where Miyabi was found. The only known source of algae is the menacing Lake Fudo itself. Believing there more to be found, Conan lifts the sheet up and finds marks on Miyabi’s hands and her feet. Kanaya walks nearby and Conan asks to see her digital camera. Kogoro walks around the corner and grabs Conan, believing he is bothering Kanaya, and the two go outside toward the boat dock. As Kogoro scolds Conan for being a “nusiance” and turns his back, Conan tranquillizes him as the waters of Lake Fudo ripple gently from the breeze. Kogoro unconsciously falls into position as Conan returns to the group and tells everyone that Kogoro has solved the case and demands that everyone get to the boat dock so he can explain his theory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; With everyone present in regards to this vicious murder, Conan, by way of Kogoro’s voice, lays down his theories. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Introduction to the Final Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keys in unlocking the truth to the mystery is to revisit Lake Fudo, its surrounding area, Miyabi herself, the people she was with, and their actions and behavior because it all plays apart before the crime, the crime itself, as well as what happened after. To clear the air of doubt and confusion, it had been a mistake to even think that Katsuya could make a round trip across the lake and back with Miyabi’s corpse in tow and everyone in full view; that indeed is impossible. This is actually what Katsuya wanted everyone, especially Kogoro, to think; that he somehow murdered Miyabi by the waterfall, then went back and brought her corpse to the inn for it to be discovered. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Surveying the Playing Field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naturally speaking, there are two routes from the inn to the falls: the main trail which takes an hour to complete, two hours &lt;br /&gt;
roundtrip, and through the lake by use of the boat, which is a 30 minute ride one way, and a one hour trip back. There are no hidden shortcuts. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Revelation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Miyabi was murdered in this lakeside resort, Kanaya and Katsuya would no doubt make the suspect list, however, by process of elimination, Kanaya would be ruled out and free to go. Katsuya, on the other hand, would become public enemy number one because Miyabi was with him before her demise. The body was discovered within a 10 minute time frame of arriving at the inn after the boat ride on the lake. With these factors in play, it is safe to believe that the crime itself took place within the 30 minute boat ride between Kamiya Falls, and the resort. After a thorough investigation in the death of novelist Miyabi Shoko, it has been determined that she was murdered, and Miyabi’s killer is &#039;&#039;&#039;Katsuya Otaka&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Dismantling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group was together, Conan, Ran, Kogoro, Kanaya, and Katsuya, EXCEPT for the 30 minutes that Katsuya separated. If anyone had any sense, it was during that time that Miyabi was murdered, right there at Fudo Falls. Now how her corpse got back to the open-air bath at the resort is where the real fun begins. She actually rode with the group, no one noticed it until now. Miyabi’s corpse took a ride on the boat along with everyone else, her seat—was under the boat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Devil makes Its Move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from the top, after the group broke into two and went different ways, Katsuya waited for the others to be out of earshot and sight, and brutally murdered the poor defenseless Miyabi along the banks of the river that feeds into Lake Fudo. He got to the boat dock where the boat was waiting and tied Miyabi’s corpse to the bottom of it using thin wires and hooks on the side of the boat. After securing Miyabi’s dead body to the bottom of the boat, Katsuya put the boat back to its original resting position in the lake and then approached Kogoro’s group from the back with an innocent expression and a lousy excuse to explain why he was soaked from head to toe saying he slipped in the water. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Fooling the Sheep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the group on the boat, and Miyabi secured to the bottom of it, Katsuya sat sails back to the resort as if nothing had happened. Although while true that a round trip from the inn to the waterfalls would take considerable time, it &#039;&#039;NEVER&#039;&#039; happened. Katsuya never went back to the waterfalls because there was no need. &#039;&#039;He brought Miyabi’s corpse back with the rest of the group on the first AND only trip back to the resort&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Suicide for Sale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once back at the resort, Katsuya was the last one to enter inside and remained outside until everyone was in. He recovered Miyabi’s corpse from under the boat and dragged it to the open air bath in hee resort room where it would later be found. Katsuya chose the open air bath because Miyabi’s corpse had been in the lake underneath the boat. An autopsy report will reveal that Miyabi did indeed drown with water from Lake Fudo in her lungs, not water from her bath. As if the unfortunate Miyabi didn’t suffer enough, Katsuya grabbed a straight razor and slit her wrist, leaving it behind in an attempt to sell her death as a suicide; at first glance, he succeeded in the purchase, but now refunds are demanded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Little Things that make a Big Difference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the midst of staging the scene, Katsuya planned to change Miyabi out of her wet clothes to further push the agenda of Miyabi returning to the inn on her own accord, changing outfits, then killing herself. Katsuya asks for evidence, and Conan, still through Kogoro, points out the marks on Miyabi’s hands and wrists that was slightly bound by wires. Someone who is thinking of suicide wouldn’t have such marks on their feet. Also, there was a strand of algae, seaweed to be exact, found in her hair, though no such aquatic plant species can be found growing in Miyabi’s open air bath. The only way Miyabi could have gotten seaweed in her hair is if she had been in close contact to the shore of Lake Fudo. The boat itself also had algae growing on it and, for some odd reason, built with metal fittings meant to hold fishing nets and rope. The owner and manager of the resort and boat has stated that he has no knowledge of the fittings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Devil’s Chilling Laugh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katsuya menacingly laughs, asking for real evidence of him having tied a body to the bottom of the boat. Conan asks Kanaya to review the photo of the group on the boat shortly before taking off. When comparing the photo to their current situation now, the boat is closer to the water surface with a full load. In both instances, the boat held 4 people but yet at the waterfall, the boat was deeper than what it is now. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Pictures Speak louder than Words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is because there was another object, exactly another person on the boat before everyone else got there; That person being the deceased Miyabi who everyone thought went back to the resort to rest. The innkeeper had already said that he gave Katsuya complete authority over the boat as long as he returned it in mint condition. This means, that Katsuya was in control and the only person who could have rigged the boat to his specifications. If they were to add a weight similar to Miyabi’s body, the boat will float closely to the surface of the water, exactly the same way in the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Defeat of the Devil. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Devastated, Katsuya collapses onto the seat of the boat, tears flowing down his face uncontrollably. He confesses that he and Miyabi in fact had a romantic relationship, but things got complicated. What started out as a game quickly grew beyond his limitations which began threatening his own family and life. Conan, through Kogoro, denounces this, and correctly questions Katsuya if he is the one who broke and overstepped preexisting boundaries. Katsuya covers his guilt-ridden face while his wedding ring shines through his short confession. A rightfully defeated Katsuya is arrested by the waiting law enforcement officers and loaded into the squad car. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Simple Laugh and Closing Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the case closed and Katsuya taken into custody, Ran attempts to wake her father Kogoro up to congratulate him on a fantastic performance. The boat’s uneven weight sends Kogoro overboard and into Lake Fudo, ending the arc on a lighthearted note.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are enjoying their time at the Historic Fudo Falls Inn and Resort, located on the shores of Fudo Lake in the gently rolling hills of northern Japan. During their stay, Kogoro encounters award-winning author Miyabi Shoko, who is enjoying fame from her previous work but is also suffering from exhaustion. Along with Miyabi are her two companions: magazine editor Katsuya Otaka and Kanaya Chisato.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miyabi is currently working the finishing touches to her latest story while Katsuya states that he chose Fudo Inn for Miyabi to work in a peaceful environment. She states that Katsuya had alternative motives for bringing her here which was to cut her times to rest and play and just focus on her work. Katsuya offers her to go on an hour-long hike through the hills. Walking on the trail for an hour will lead one to the beautiful Fudo Falls. Miyabi personally asks Kogoro’s group to join them, to which they accept. Katsuya asks that everyone meet at the dock by one o’clock where he has a paddle boat waiting for them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group meets as planned and they trek from the inn to Fudo Falls in roughly an hour. Kogoro, Conan, and Ran head for the boat dock on the lake while Katsuya and Miyabi venture off on their own. Kogoro asks Kanaya if they have a romantic connection to which she claims no knowledge of. Katsuya rejoins the group soaking wet, but without Miyabi. They ask for her whereabouts but Katsuya claims to have fallen in the creek and walked in a different direction while Miyabi walked off on her own. They search for her, believing she is nearby, but to no avail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanaya states that Miyabi has a tendency to leave abruptly without telling anyone, even at parties, but her behavior has been unsettling since they arrived. Katsuya insists that they continue on with the boat ride believing Miyabi went back to her hotel room and is sleeping; all agree. With everyone onboard, the boat’s rim sits very close to the lake’s surface. Kanaya snaps pictures of everyone on the boat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the boat ride through Fudo Lake, everyone returns back to the docks and heads back inside the hotel expecting to find Miyabi, but she herself is nowhere to be found. Kanaya goes to Miyabi’s room and finds it empty. Believing she may be in the back, Kanaya exits the back door and makes a grisly discovery. She screams, causing the others to rush to her aid. They find Miyabi’s semi-surmerged lifeless nude body in the open air bath covered in bloody water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly disturbed Kogoro takes charge and goes to investigate, noticing a bloody sharp straight razor blade near the bath. He pulls Miyabi’s arm out of the water and discovers cuts to her wrists, coming to the conclusion that Miyabi did herself in. Kogoro commands Ran to call the police as Kanaya breaks down in tears over Miyabi’s sudden death. Kogoro examines the body and states that Makayla had been deceased for a little over an hour. Around that time, everyone was on the boat riding around Lake Fudo. That’s when it is believed that Miyabi came back to the inn after returning from the waterfall, and she tragically took her own life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The belief that Miyabi committed suicide is a rather confusing statement in itself. Although she was suffering from epilepsy and writer’s block, nothing warranted a dramatic event as this. Miyabi was invited by Katsuya to give her a change of scenery and pace, but not even he could have thought that it would turn out this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran returns with news that the police has been delayed in arriving on the scene due to the sudden landslide that’s blocking their only entrance. Kogoro remains in control of the case as Conan notices something odd with the clothes baskets and slippers in front of the door of Miyabi’s room. The clothes Conan changed out of have disappeared. The clothes and shoes that Miyabi wore aren’t present either. Conan wonders if Miyabi could have came outside bare naked but Kogoro strongly disagrees. Kogoro now believes that Miyabi’s life wasn’t taken of her own accord, but by someone else’s and was made to look like suicide. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both Katsuya and Kanaya deny any involvement in Miyabi’s death. Katsuya states that everyone was together when they met at Fudo Falls. Moreover, according to Kogoro himself, Miyabi’s time of death was a little more than an hour ago, during which, everyone was in the middle of Fudo Lake on the boat. There is, given the circumstances, no way that one could have murdered Miyabi and returned to the inn, body in hand, without avoiding detection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro points out that while everyone was together for a while, they also had some free time. Katsuya, now bearing a confident grin, was the last person to see Miyabi alive as they both ventured deeper into the woods. Kogoro begins applying pressure on Katsuya, flat out accusing him of murdering Miyabi at the waterfall, took her corpse to the inn, and dumped her body in the open air bath while making it look like a suicide. Conan waits for the bombshell as Katsuya not only denies again, but also states that it is impossible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanaya is quietly removed from Kogoro’s suspect list as tensions between him and Katsuya continue to rise. Katsuya states that he is innocent of all wrongdoing Kogoro is accusing him of because it would take one hour to walk from Fudo Inn to Fudo Falls, two hours on a round trip. Even by use of a boat through Fudo Lake, the waterfall to the inn is 30 minutes to and an hour tops back, and Katsuya was never seen carrying a corpse in his hands. Anyone who would have seen Katsuya carrying a corpse in broad daylight would have almost immediately said something. He, in fact, left and returned with empty hands and no materials to smuggle Miyabi’s corpse back to the inn, considering if she was killed somewhere else. To add insult to an already bleeding wound, Kogoro and his group are unwitting witnesses to those facts, whether they want to admit it or not. Kogoro himself is left temporarily speechless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katsuya continues to taunt Kogoro for not noticing the routes and questions his status as a great detective, causing him to grow more frustrated by the second. With all his basis covered, Kogoro has no choice but to remove Katsuya remove from the suspect list as well, but Conan believes that he is the killer. Accepting the proposal and challenge laid before him, Conan smiles and internally calls Katsuya’s moves excellent, while thinking to himself how he will expose the method and him as the cold blooded monster he truly is as Kogoro and Katsuya close out File 5 with an intense stare down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 6 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The standoff between Kogoro and Katsuya, the freshly crowned prime suspect in the brutal death of novelist Miyabi Shoko, comes to a close as Katsuya maintains his innocence. Katsuya states that he was alone for 30 minutes and it would take one person an hour to walk from Fudo Falls to the resort by foot and 30 minutes by boat through the lake. Kogoro claims that Katsuya used some bike and stashed in the mountains where Katsuya challenges him to go find it. Conan sneaks off to speak with the innkeeper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan finds Katsuya’s confidence offense, as opposed to him feeling sadden over Miyabi’s death just moments prior. Granted that it isn’t a good feeling to be accused of murder, but Katsuya’s character and demeanor has changed to that of an arrogant and cocky person, almost as if had been planned in advance. Katsuya was definitely with the rest of the group and he was seen carrying no corpse in his hands, that is a cold hard fact. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a random person killed Miyabi out in the woods, why was it important to bring the corpse back to the resort? That poses a risk of getting caught then arrested. Why not just dump the corpse into Lake Fudo and called it a day. If Katsuya is the killer, he had to have murdered Miyabi somewhere else, meaning the crime scene at her open-air bath was a lie and somewhere else, most likely Fudo Falls which was Miyabi’s last known location. Nevertheless, the body still made its way back to the resort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan sees Miyabi’s body laying on the floor with a bedsheet covering most of it with the exception of her hair. He notices something caught in the hair which turns out to be algae, an aquatic plant of a large group that includes the seaweeds and many single-celled forms. Conan detects no algae growing in the open air bath where Miyabi was found. The only known source of algae is the menacing Lake Fudo itself. Believing there more to be found, Conan lifts the sheet up and finds marks on Miyabi’s hands and her feet. Kanaya walks nearby and Conan asks to see her digital camera. Kogoro walks around the corner and grabs Conan, believing he is bothering Kanaya, and the two go outside toward the boat dock. As Kogoro scolds Conan for being a “nusiance” and turns his back, Conan tranquillizes him as the waters of Lake Fudo ripple gently from the breeze. Kogoro unconsciously falls into position as Conan returns to the group and tells everyone that Kogoro has solved the case and demands that everyone get to the boat dock so he can explain his theory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; With everyone present in regards to this vicious murder, Conan, by way of Kogoro’s voice, lays down his theories. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Introduction to the Final Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keys in unlocking the truth to the mystery is to revisit Lake Fudo, its surrounding area, Miyabi herself, the people she was with, and their actions and behavior because it all plays apart before the crime, the crime itself, as well as what happened after. To clear the air of doubt and confusion, it had been a mistake to even think that Katsuya could make a round trip across the lake and back with Miyabi’s corpse in tow and everyone in full view; that indeed is impossible. This is actually what Katsuya wanted everyone, especially Kogoro, to think; that he somehow murdered Miyabi by the waterfall, then went back and brought her corpse to the inn for it to be discovered. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Surveying the Playing Field.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naturally speaking, there are two routes from the inn to the falls: the main trail which takes an hour to complete, two hours &lt;br /&gt;
roundtrip, and through the lake by use of the boat, which is a 30 minute ride one way, and a one hour trip back. There are no hidden shortcuts. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Revelation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If Miyabi was murdered in this lakeside resort, Kanaya and Katsuya would no doubt make the suspect list, however, by process of elimination, Kanaya would be ruled out and free to go. Katsuya, on the other hand, would become public enemy number one because Miyabi was with him before her demise. The body was discovered within a 10 minute time frame of arriving at the inn after the boat ride on the lake. With these factors in play, it is safe to believe that the crime itself took place within the 30 minute boat ride between Kamiya Falls, and the resort. After a thorough investigation in the death of novelist Miyabi Shoko, it has been determined that she was murdered, and Miyabi’s killer is &#039;&#039;&#039;Katsuya Otaka&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Dismantling.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group was together, Conan, Ran, Kogoro, Kanaya, and Katsuya, EXCEPT for the 30 minutes that Katsuya separated. If anyone had any sense, it was during that time that Miyabi was murdered, right there at Fudo Falls. Now how her corpse got back to the open-air bath at the resort is where the real fun begins. She actually rode with the group, no one noticed it until now. Miyabi’s corpse took a ride on the boat along with everyone else, her seat—was under the boat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Devil makes Its Move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from the top, after the group broke into two and went different ways, Katsuya waited for the others to be out of earshot and sight, and brutally murdered the poor defenseless Miyabi along the banks of the river that feeds into Lake Fudo. He got to the boat dock where the boat was waiting and tied Miyabi’s corpse to the bottom of it using thin wires and hooks on the side of the boat. After securing Miyabi’s dead body to the bottom of the boat, Katsuya put the boat back to its original resting position in the lake and then approached Kogoro’s group from the back with an innocent expression and a lousy excuse to explain why he was soaked from head to toe saying he slipped in the water. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Fooling the Sheep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the group on the boat, and Miyabi secured to the bottom of it, Katsuya sat sails back to the resort as if nothing had happened. Although while true that a round trip from the inn to the waterfalls would take considerable time, it &#039;&#039;NEVER&#039;&#039; happened. Katsuya never went back to the waterfalls because there was no need. &#039;&#039;He brought Miyabi’s corpse back with the rest of the group on the first AND only trip back to the resort&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Suicide for Sale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once back at the resort, Katsuya was the last one to enter inside and remained outside until everyone was in. He recovered Miyabi’s corpse from under the boat and dragged it to the open air bath in hee resort room where it would later be found. Katsuya chose the open air bath because Miyabi’s corpse had been in the lake underneath the boat. An autopsy report will reveal that Miyabi did indeed drown with water from Lake Fudo in her lungs, not water from her bath. As if the unfortunate Miyabi didn’t suffer enough, Katsuya grabbed a straight razor and slit her wrist, leaving it behind in an attempt to sell her death as a suicide; at first glance, he succeeded in the purchase, but now refunds are demanded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Little Things that make a Big Difference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the midst of staging the scene, Katsuya planned to change out of his soaking wet clothes but had forgotten to prepare dry ones for his return. He couldn’t have just dumped them in the clothes basket, pretty much why Conan and Miyabi’s clothes, also her shoes, went missing. Katsuya asks for evidence, and Conan, still through Kogoro, points out the marks on Miyabi’s hands and wrists that was slightly bound by wires. Someone who is thinking of suicide wouldn’t have such marks on their feet. Also, there was a strand of algae, seaweed to be exact, found in her hair, though no such aquatic plant species can be found growing in Miyabi’s open air bath. The only way Miyabi could have gotten seaweed in her hair is if she had been in close contact to the shore of Lake Fudo. The boat itself also had algae growing on it and, for some odd reason, built with metal fittings meant to hold fishing nets and rope. The owner and manager of the resort and boat has stated that he has no knowledge of the fittings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Devil’s Chilling Laugh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katsuya menacingly laughs, asking for real evidence of him having tied a body to the bottom of the boat. Conan asks Kanaya to review the photo of the group on the boat shortly before taking off. When comparing the photo to their current situation now, the boat is closer to the water surface with a full load. In both instances, the boat held 4 people but yet at the waterfall, the boat was deeper than what it is now. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Pictures Speak louder than Words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is because there was another object, exactly another person on the boat before everyone else got there; That person being the deceased Miyabi who everyone thought went back to the resort to rest. The innkeeper had already said that he gave Katsuya complete authority over the boat as long as he returned it in mint condition. This means, that Katsuya was in control and the only person who could have rigged the boat to his specifications. If they were to add a weight similar to Miyabi’s body, the boat will float closely to the surface of the water, exactly the same way in the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Defeat of the Devil. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Devastated, Katsuya collapses onto the seat of the boat, tears flowing down his face uncontrollably. He confesses that he and Miyabi in fact had a romantic relationship, but things got complicated. What started out as a game quickly grew beyond his limitations which began threatening his own family and life. Conan, through Kogoro, denounces this, and correctly questions Katsuya if he is the one who broke and overstepped preexisting boundaries. Unable to answer, a rightfully defeated Katsuya is arrested by the waiting law enforcement officers and loaded into the squad car. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Simple Laugh and Closing Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the case closed and Katsuya taken into custody, Ran attempts to wake her father Kogoro up to congratulate him on a fantastic performance. The boat’s uneven weight sends Kogoro overboard and into Lake Fudo, ending the arc on a lighthearted note.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are enjoying their time at the Historic Fudo Falls Inn and Resort, located on the shores of Fudo Lake in the gently rolling hills of northern Japan. During their stay, Kogoro encounters award-winning author Miyabi Shoko, who is enjoying fame from her previous work but is also suffering from exhaustion. Along with Miyabi are her two companions: magazine editor Katsuya Otaka and Kanaya Chisato.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Miyabi is currently working the finishing touches to her latest story while Katsuya states that he chose Fudo Inn for Miyabi to work in a peaceful environment. She states that Katsuya had alternative motives for bringing her here which was to cut her times to rest and play and just focus on her work. Katsuya offers her to go on an hour-long hike through the hills. Walking on the trail for an hour will lead one to the beautiful Fudo Falls. She asks Kogoro’s group to join them, to which they accept. Katsuya asks that everyone meet at the dock by one o’clock where he has a boat waiting for them. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The group meets as planned and they trek from the inn to Fudo Falls in roughly an hour. Kogoro, Conan, and Ran head for the boat dock on the lake while Katsuya and Miyabi venture off on their own. Kogoro asks Kanaya if they have a romantic connection to which she claims no knowledge of. Katsuya rejoins the group soaking wet, but without Miyabi. They ask for her whereabouts but Katsuya claims to have fallen in the creek and walked in a different direction while Miyabi walked off on her own. They search for her, believing she is nearby, but to no avail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanaya states that Miyabi has a tendency to leave abruptly without telling anyone, even at parties, but her behavior has been unsettling since they arrived. Katsuya insists that they continue on with the boat ride believing Miyabi went back to her hotel room and is sleeping; all agree. With everyone onboard, the boat’s rim sits very close to the lake’s surface. Kanaya snaps pictures of everyone on the boat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the boat ride through Fudo Lake, everyone returns back to the docks and heads back inside the hotel expecting to find Miyabi, but she herself is nowhere to be found. Kanaya goes to Miyabi’s room and finds it empty. Believing she may be in the back, Kanaya exits the back door and makes a grisly discovery. She screams, causing the others to rush to her aid. They find Miyabi’s semi-surmerged lifeless body in the open air bath covered in bloody water.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A highly disturbed Kogoro takes charge and goes to investigate, noticing a bloody sharp straight razor blade near the bath. He pulls Miyabi’s arm out of the water and discovers cuts to her wrists, coming to the conclusion that Miyabi did herself in. Kogoro commands Ran to call the police as Kanaya breaks down in tears over Miyabi’s sudden death. Kogoro examines the body and states that Makayla had been deceased for a little over an hour. Around that time, everyone was on the boat riding around Lake Fudo. That’s when it is believed that Miyabi came back to the inn after returning from the waterfall, and she tragically took her own life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The belief that Miyabi committed suicide is a rather confusing statement in itself. Although she was suffering from epilepsy and writer’s block, nothing warranted a dramatic event as this. Miyabi was invited by Katsuya to give her a change of scenery and pace, but not even he could have thought that it would turn out this way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran returns with news that the police has been delayed in arriving on the scene due to the sudden landslide that’s blocking their only entrance. Kogoro remains in control of the case as Conan notices something odd with the clothes baskets and slippers in front of the door of Miyabi’s room. The clothes Conan changed out of have disappeared. The clothes and shoes that Miyabi wore aren’t present either. Conan wonders if Miyabi could have came outside bare naked but Kogoro strongly disagrees. Kogoro now believes that Miyabi’s life wasn’t taken of her own accord, but by someone else’s and was made to look like suicide. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both Katsuya and Kanaya deny any involvement in Miyabi’s death. Katsuya states that everyone was together when they met at Fudo Falls. Moreover, according to Kogoro himself, Miyabi’s time of death was a little more than an hour ago, during which, everyone was in the middle of Fudo Lake on the boat. There is, given the circumstances, no way that one could have murdered Miyabi and returned to the inn, body in hand, without avoiding detection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro points out that while everyone was together for a while, they also had some free time. Katsuya, now bearing a confident grin, was the last person to see Miyabi alive as they both ventured deeper into the woods. Kogoro begins applying pressure on Katsuya, flat out accusing him of murdering Miyabi at the waterfall, took her corpse to the inn, and dumped her body in the open air bath while making it look like a suicide. Conan waits for the bombshell as Katsuya not only denies again, but also states that it is impossible. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kanaya is quietly removed from Kogoro’s suspect list as tensions between him and Katsuya continue to rise. Katsuya states that he is innocent of all wrongdoing Kogoro is accusing him of because it would take one hour to walk from Fudo Inn to Fudo Falls, two hours on a round trip. Even by use of a boat through Fudo Lake, the waterfall to the inn is 30 minutes to and an hour tops back, and Katsuya was never seen carrying a corpse in his hands. Kogoro is left temporarily speechless.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katsuya taunts Kogoro for not noticing the routes and questions his status as a great detective, causing him to grow more frustrated by the second. With all his basis covered, Kogoro has no choice but to remove Katsuya remove from the suspect list as well, but Conan believes that he is the killer. Accepting the proposal and challenge laid before him, Conan calls Katsuya’s moves excellent, while thinking to himself how he will expose the method and him as the cold blooded monster he truly is as Kogoro and Katsuya close out File 5 with an intense stare down.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== File 6 - Part 2 ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The standoff between Kogoro and Katsuya, the freshly crowned prime suspect in the brutal death of novelist Miyabi Shoko, comes to a close as Katsuya maintains his innocence. Katsuya states that he was alone for 30 minutes and it would take one person an hour to walk from Fudo Falls to the resort by foot and 30 minutes by boat through the lake. Kogoro claims that Katsuya used some bike and stashed in the mountains where Katsuya challenges him to go find it. Conan sneaks off to speak with the innkeeper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan finds Katsuya’s confidence offense, as opposed to him feeling sadden over Miyabi’s death just moments prior. Granted that it isn’t a good feeling to be accused of murder, but Katsuya’s character and demeanor has changed to that of an arrogant and cocky person, almost as if had been planned in advance. Katsuya was definitely with the rest of the group and he was seen carrying no corpse in his hands, that is a cold hard fact. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a random person killed Miyabi out in the woods, why was it important to bring the corpse back to the resort? That poses a risk of getting caught then arrested. Why not just dump the corpse into Lake Fudo and called it a day. If Katsuya is the killer, he had to have murdered Miyabi somewhere else, meaning the crime scene at her open-air bath was a lie and somewhere else, most likely Fudo Falls which was Miyabi’s last known location. Nevertheless, the body still made its way back to the resort.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan sees Miyabi’s body laying on the floor with a bedsheet covering most of it with the exception of her hair. He notices something caught in the hair which turns out to be algae, an aquatic plant of a large group that includes the seaweeds and many single-celled forms. Conan detects no algae growing in the open air bath where Miyabi was found. The only known source of algae is the menacing Lake Fudo itself. Believing there more to be found, Conan lifts the sheet up and finds marks on Miyabi’s hands and her feet. Kanaya walks nearby and Conan asks to see her digital camera. Kogoro walks around the corner and grabs Conan, believing he is bothering Kanaya, and the two go outside toward the boat dock. As Kogoro scolds Conan for being a “nusiance” and turns his back, Conan tranquillizes him as the waters of Lake Fudo ripple gently from the breeze. Kogoro unconsciously falls into position as Conan returns to the group and tells everyone that Kogoro has solved the case and demands that everyone get to the boat dock so he can explain his theory.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt; With everyone present in regards to this vicious murder, Conan, by way of Kogoro’s voice, lays down his theories. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Introduction to the Final Act.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The keys in unlocking the truth to the mystery is to revisit Lake Fudo, its surrounding area, Miyabi herself, the people she was with, and their actions and behavior because it all plays apart before the crime, the crime itself, as well as what happened after. To clear the air of doubt and confusion, it had been a mistake to even think that Katsuya could make a round trip across the lake and back with Miyabi’s corpse in tow and everyone in full view; that indeed is impossible. This is actually what Katsuya wanted everyone, especially Kogoro, to think; that he somehow murdered Miyabi by the waterfall, then went back and brought her corpse to the inn for it to be discovered. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The group was together, Conan, Ran, Kogoro, Kanaya, and Katsuya, EXCEPT for the 30 minutes that Katsuya separated. If anyone had any sense, it was during that time that Miyabi was murdered, right there at Fudo Falls. Now how her corpse got back to the open-air bath at the resort is where the real fun begins. She actually rode with the group, no one noticed it until now. Miyabi’s corpse took a ride on the boat along with everyone else, her seat—was under the boat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Devil makes Its Move.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Starting from the top, after the group broke into two and went different ways, Katsuya waited for the others to be out of earshot and sight, and brutally murdered the poor defenseless Miyabi along the banks of the river that feeds into Lake Fudo. He got to the boat dock where the boat was waiting and tied Miyabi’s corpse to the bottom of it using thin wires and hooks on the side of the boat. After securing Miyabi’s dead body to the bottom of the boat, Katsuya put the boat back to its original resting position in the lake and then approached Kogoro’s group from the back with an innocent expression and a lousy excuse to explain why he was soaked from head to toe saying he slipped in the water. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Fooling the Sheep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the group on the boat, and Miyabi secured to the bottom of it, Katsuya sat sails back to the resort as if nothing had happened. Although while true that a round trip from the inn to the waterfalls would take considerable time, it &#039;&#039;NEVER&#039;&#039; happened. Katsuya never went back to the waterfalls because there was no need. &#039;&#039;He brought Miyabi’s corpse back with the rest of the group on the first AND only trip back to the resort&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Suicide for Sale.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once back at the resort, Katsuya was the last one to enter inside and remained outside until everyone was in. He recovered Miyabi’s corpse from under the boat and dragged it to the open air bath in hee resort room where it would later be found. Katsuya chose the open air bath because Miyabi’s corpse had been in the lake underneath the boat. An autopsy report will reveal that Miyabi did indeed drown with water from Lake Fudo in her lungs, not water from her bath. As if the unfortunate Miyabi didn’t suffer enough, Katsuya grabbed a straight razor and slit her wrist, leaving it behind in an attempt to sell her death as a suicide; at first glance, he succeeded in the purchase, but now refunds are demanded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Little Things that make a Big Difference.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the midst of staging the scene, Katsuya planned to change out of his soaking wet clothes but had forgotten to prepare dry ones for his return. He couldn’t have just dumped them in the clothes basket, pretty much why Conan and Miyabi’s clothes, also her shoes, went missing. Katsuya asks for evidence, and Conan, still through Kogoro, points out the marks on Miyabi’s hands and wrists that was slightly bound by wires. Someone who is thinking of suicide wouldn’t have such marks on their feet. Also, there was a strand of algae, seaweed to be exact, found in her hair, though no such aquatic plant species can be found growing in Miyabi’s open air bath. The only way Miyabi could have gotten seaweed in her hair is if she had been in close contact to the shore of Lake Fudo. The boat itself also had algae growing on it and, for some odd reason, built with metal fittings meant to hold fishing nets and rope. The owner and manager of the resort and boat has stated that he has no knowledge of the fittings. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Devil’s Chilling Laugh.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katsuya menacingly laughs, asking for real evidence of him having tied a body to the bottom of the boat. Conan asks Kanaya to review the photo of the group on the boat shortly before taking off. When comparing the photo to their current situation now, the boat is closer to the water surface with a full load. In both instances, the boat held 4 people but yet at the waterfall, the boat was deeper than what it is now. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Pictures Speak louder than Words.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That is because there was another object, exactly another person on the boat before everyone else got there; That person being the deceased Miyabi who everyone thought went back to the resort to rest. The innkeeper had already said that he gave Katsuya complete authority over the boat as long as he returned it in mint condition. This means, that Katsuya was in control and the only person who could have rigged the boat to his specifications. If they were to add a weight similar to Miyabi’s body, the boat will float closely to the surface of the water, exactly the same way in the photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*The Defeat of the Devil. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Devastated, Katsuya collapses onto the seat of the boat, tears flowing down his face uncontrollably. He confesses that he and Miyabi in fact had a romantic relationship, but things got complicated. What started out as a game quickly grew beyond his limitations which began threatening his own family and life. Conan, through Kogoro, denounces this, and correctly questions Katsuya if he is the one who broke and overstepped preexisting boundaries. Unable to answer, a rightfully defeated Katsuya is arrested by the waiting law enforcement officers and loaded into the squad car. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*A Simple Laugh and Closing Remarks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the case closed and Katsuya taken into custody, Ran attempts to wake her father Kogoro up to congratulate him on a fantastic performance. The boat’s uneven weight sends Kogoro overboard and into Lake Fudo, ending the arc on a lighthearted note.&lt;br /&gt;
