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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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, some of which can be 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = IMG_0755.jpeg<br /> | location = Fumiko’s Mansion inside her bedroom<br /> | victim = Fumiko Asaka<br /> | age = <br /> | cause-death = Necrosis via unidentified poison<br /> | time of death = 3:00AM<br /> | suspects = Gennori Sugita, Seiichi Hashimoto, and Koichi Saito<br /> | description = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> 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. Inspector Meguire has his female forensic do a physical exhaustive search of Fumiko’s body to find any hidden entry points for poison while the investigation team moves outside to search for any poisonous materials, plants, animals or any venomous infested within a 5-mile radius. 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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'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. <br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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's primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.<br /> <br /> 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'''.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Some have been documented to suffer from agonizing skin lesions and their pores oozing green liquids. 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. Autopsies of victims of Scheele’s Green, reveal that even internal organs had a visible shade of green<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;The Dance of Death&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.<br /> <br /> Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer'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 &quot;everything she looked at was green&quot;. She wasn'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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Conan pauses. Everyone in the room (including Gennori, Koichi, Meguire and his team), with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. One of the maids breaks silence, screams and shouts obscenities at Seiichi, before falling to her knees in despair. Seiichi puts his hands in his pocket and grins.<br /> <br /> Seiichi claims innocence and denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. He claims his words are truthful and that only he can give permission for the police to search the inside of his palette box due to privacy laws. 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''. <br /> <br /> Because Richard is a licensed private investigator and is labeled an ordinary citizen by law, he has no legal powers or authority to invoke this powerful doctrine. Inspector Meguire, being a sworn government law enforcement officer with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, can, shall and indeed do so.<br /> <br /> Meguire was virtually powerless to do anything in regards to Seiichi’s palette box, but with this ace in effect, two things happen: one, the strict privacy laws that Seiichi cowardly hid behind no longer apply, and two, Meguire has the immediate authority to seize the box without a pre-signed warrant under the aforementioned legal doctrine. In actuality, the choice to use Exigent Circumstances didn’t appear out of nowhere: an immediate threat MUST be present and proven harmful and life-theatening. In case Seiichi is wondering, yes, the possession of lethal arsine gas in a palette box would highly likely trigger the exigent circumstances doctrine. This situation falls squarely under the public safety emergency exception due to the extreme and immediate threat the material poses to human life. Before the events of the resolution even began, there were talks between Richard and Meguire in regards to Seiichi’s palette box. After the formula and circumstances were analyzed, it made perfect sense to seize the box within the boundaries of the law, secure it, and have it taken outside. The law states that neither Richard nor Inspector Meguire are obligated to inform Seiichi that palette box was seized. 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. Meguire already has the poisonous palette box bagged, tagged, and safety waiting outside the mansion for the Fire Department Hazardous Materials Unit (HazMat) with armed forces. <br /> <br /> Seiichi grows hesitant, cautiously taking a step back, and Conan capitalizes forward with a brutal barrage of psychological attacks, menacingly stating that Seiichi likes to choke sick defenseless women in their sleep with lethal gas, but can’t stand to face reality when the law requires him to give his life in exchange and to look himself in the mirror to face the reality of his own creation: Seiichi Hashimoto is NOT a master painter, he is a pathetic narcissistic murderer who used a banned historical toxic sludge because his feelings were hurt over his mundane drawing. 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. He also feared of tying them in a garbage bag, throwing them in the woods and retrieving it later to destroy; as a precaution, the Inspector did in fact have a thorough sweep of the estate and everywhere within a 5 mile radius of it, leaving Seiichi indefinitely stuck with the “smoking gun.” 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.”<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Seiichi violently snaps, taking offense of Richard’s barrage of psychological attacks to his ego and psyche. 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.<br /> <br /> Seiichi cruelly mocks the maids for their grief, calling their act worthless. He turns his attention to the grief stricken Rachel who is still emotionally devastated from the Scheele’s Green story. Seiichi tells Rachel, who he fully blames for his rightfully earned arrest, that he wished her bonquet of flowers died along with Fumiko. Fully consumed by his self-driven maniacal self image and narcissism, Seiichi continues to gloat, failing to realize the Inspector placing him in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan states that he knows a man of Seiichi’s caliber can’t be brought down with traditional methods, psychological warfare and torture of Seiichi’s psyche was needed in order to shatter his narcissistic armor. He has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic monster from committing more 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. <br /> <br /> 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. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Night of Fireworks, A Murder!! ==<br /> === File 6 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 7 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Missing Bride ==<br /> === File 8 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 9 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Demon's Thunder ==<br /> === File 10 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 11 - Part 2 ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;The culprit is '''Sachi Makise'''.

This put Makise in tears.<br /> <br /> Afterward Genta fully declared that he's indeed the best leader of Detective Boys which is objectioned by the rest.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Takashi Tamba|Takashi Tamba.jpg|<br /> * Victim (heart attack)<br /> * 46 years old<br /> * Science teacher}}<br /> {{People|Sachi Makise|Sati Makise.jpg|<br /> * 25 years old<br /> * Science teacher}}<br /> {{People|Saito|Saito specialvol4.jpg|<br /> * 50 years old<br /> * Head of teachers}}<br /> {{People|Wakamatsu|Wakamatsu specialvol4.jpg|<br /> * 55 years old<br /> * Principal's helper}}<br /> {{People|Yoshida|Yoshida specialvol4.jpg|<br /> * 26 years old<br /> * Gym teacher}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4bbi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia (reprint)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4i.jpg|160px|thumb|left|Italy]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4k.jpg|162px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4sp.jpg|170px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4th.jpg|164px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4bth.jpg|164px|thumb|left|Thailand (reprint)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 1-10]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 4 (Short Stories)]]</div>

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.<br /> <br /> 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, some of which can be 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = IMG_0755.jpeg<br /> | location = Fumiko’s Mansion inside her bedroom<br /> | victim = Fumiko Asaka<br /> | age = <br /> | cause-death = Necrosis via unidentified poison<br /> | time of death = 3:00AM<br /> | suspects = Gennori Sugita, Seiichi Hashimoto, and Koichi Saito<br /> | description = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> 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. Inspector Meguire has his female forensic do a physical exhaustive search of Fumiko’s body to find any hidden entry points for poison while the investigation team moves outside to search for any poisonous materials, plants, animals or any venomous infested within a 5-mile radius. 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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'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. <br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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's primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.<br /> <br /> 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'''.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Some have been documented to suffer from agonizing skin lesions and their pores oozing green liquids. 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. Autopsies of victims of Scheele’s Green, reveal that even internal organs had a visible shade of green<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;The Dance of Death&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.<br /> <br /> Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer'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 &quot;everything she looked at was green&quot;. She wasn'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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Conan pauses. Everyone in the room (including Gennori, Koichi, Meguire and his team), with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. One of the maids breaks silence, screams and shouts obscenities at Seiichi, before falling to her knees in despair. Seiichi puts his hands in his pocket and grins.<br /> <br /> Seiichi claims innocence and denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. He claims his words are truthful and that only he can give permission for the police to search the inside of his palette box due to privacy laws. 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''. <br /> <br /> Because Richard is a licensed private investigator and is labeled an ordinary citizen by law, he has no legal powers or authority to invoke this powerful doctrine. Inspector Meguire, being a sworn government law enforcement officer with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, can, shall and indeed do so.<br /> <br /> Meguire was virtually powerless to do anything in regards to Seiichi’s palette box, but with this ace in effect, two things happen: one, the strict privacy laws that Seiichi cowardly hid behind no longer apply, and two, Meguire has the immediate authority to seize the box without a pre-signed warrant under the aforementioned legal doctrine. In actuality, the choice to use Exigent Circumstances didn’t appear out of nowhere: an immediate threat MUST be present and proven harmful and life-theatening. In case Seiichi is wondering, yes, the possession of lethal arsine gas in a palette box would highly likely trigger the exigent circumstances doctrine. This situation falls squarely under the public safety emergency exception due to the extreme and immediate threat the material poses to human life. Before the events of the resolution even began, there were talks between Richard and Meguire in regards to Seiichi’s palette box. After the formula and circumstances were analyzed, it made perfect sense to seize the box within the boundaries of the law, secure it, and have it taken outside. The law states that neither Richard nor Inspector Meguire are obligated to inform Seiichi that palette box was seized. 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. Meguire already has the poisonous palette box bagged, tagged, and safety waiting outside the mansion for the Fire Department Hazardous Materials Unit (HazMat) with armed forces. <br /> <br /> Seiichi grows hesitant, cautiously taking a step back, and Conan capitalizes forward with a brutal barrage of psychological attacks, menacingly stating that Seiichi likes to choke sick defenseless women in their sleep with lethal gas, but can’t stand to face reality when the law requires him to give his life in exchange and to look himself in the mirror to face the reality of his own creation: Seiichi Hashimoto is NOT a master painter, he is a pathetic narcissistic murderer who used a banned historical toxic sludge because his feelings were hurt over his mundane drawing. 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 paintsi 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. He also feared of tying them in a garbage bag, throwing them in the woods and retrieving it later to destroy; as a precaution, the Inspector did in fact have a thorough sweep of the estate and everywhere within a 5 mile radius of it, leaving Seiichi indefinitely stuck with the “smoking gun.” 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.”<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Seiichi violently snaps, taking offense of Richard’s barrage of psychological attacks to his ego and psyche. 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.<br /> <br /> Seiichi cruelly mocks the maids for their grief, calling their act worthless. He turns his attention to the grief stricken Rachel who is still emotionally devastated from the Scheele’s Green story. Seiichi tells Rachel, who he fully blames for his rightfully earned arrest, that he wished her bonquet of flowers died along with Fumiko. Fully consumed by his self-driven maniacal self image and narcissism, Seiichi continues to gloat, failing to realize the Inspector placing him in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan states that he knows a man of Seiichi’s caliber can’t be brought down with traditional methods, psychological warfare and torture of Seiichi’s psyche was needed in order to shatter his narcissistic armor. He has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic monster from committing more 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. <br /> <br /> 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. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Night of Fireworks, A Murder!! ==<br /> === File 6 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 7 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Missing Bride ==<br /> === File 8 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 9 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Demon's Thunder ==<br /> === File 10 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 11 - Part 2 ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;The culprit is '''Sachi Makise'''.

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informs the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen.

As the inspector questions her claim and Conan looks on silently, Amy terrifiedly explains that the area used to be an ancient graveyard torn down to make a national highway, and they dug right through where bones were buried to build the tunnel. Mitsuhiko tries to calm her down, but she tearfully insists that the supernatural curse is absolutely real.<br /> <br /> Conan silently rejects the childish ghost stories, but the grim reality he uncovers is far more terrifying than any supernatural curse: this was a calculated, cold-blooded execution. The crime scene defies all logic, leaving a chilling paradox because the helpless victim was completely alone, trapped inside the claustrophobic darkness of the tunnel with no visible attacker in sight when he drew his final, agonized breath. As the shadows stretch over the lifeless body, a disturbing question lingers in the air like a nightmare—how could unseen forces brutally murder a man from afar without ever leaving a trace?<br /> <br /> === File 2 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> In this continuation of the investigation, Inspector Meguire questions Mimiraki, confirming that the deceased victim, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, was indeed the president of his company. The focus of the investigation quickly shifts to the physical cause of death as they discuss the possibility of a gas leak inside the tunnel. However, an onsite gas company worker explicitly refutes this theory, confirming that they performed the construction work perfectly and pointing out that modern city gas is natural gas, which is non-toxic and wouldn't cause someone to drop dead from simply inhaling it. This revelation leaves the police force and Conan back at square one, ruling out a simple environmental accident. <br /> <br /> A forensic worker reveals that the victim's vomit carries a distinct almond scent, confirming the true cause of death as hydrogen cyanide poisoning. A mere 50 milligrams of this fast-acting, deadly toxin can instantly induce cardiac arrest, adding truth to Conan’s internal statement that Tsuyoshi Hiruta was deliberately murdered with terrifying precision.<br /> <br /> The investigation shifts toward a homeless man living in the park near the tunnel, who aggressively defends himself by claiming he stayed outside due to the scheduled gas leak maintenance. The kids notice he is the same homeless man from before. Although Inspector Joseph Meguire notes that hydrogen cyanide is a highly restricted substance that a typical citizen or a homeless individual could not easily acquire, Conan remains observant as the police struggle to pinpoint how such a lethal poison was surreptitiously administered.<br /> <br /> Hydrogen cyanide is a volatile, colorless chemical agent with a deceptively faint scent of bitter almonds, first isolated in 1782 by chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele from the pigment Prussian blue. (Scheele is also known in the streets at the inventor of Scheele’s Green). It acts as a swift cellular asphyxiant by binding to mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme essential for cellular energy production. By disrupting this biological process, it prevents the body from utilizing oxygen at a cellular level, even when oxygen is present in the bloodstream. The central nervous system and the heart, which have the highest oxygen requirements, are particularly sensitive to these effects. Its toxicity is extreme and rapid: inhalation of concentrated vapors can trigger immediate respiratory distress, neurological symptoms, and cardiovascular collapse.<br /> <br /> Inside a 20-meter tunnel ideal for murder due to low foot traffic, Conan questions why the culprit chose a location where they risked being easily caught by anyone entering from the outside. Nearby, a company representative expresses relief that an illegally parked car is being towed, noting it caused major trouble in front of their building. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko point out how strange and relaxed the gentleman seems, finding it highly suspicious that he is fussing over parking logistics immediately after his company's president has died. Conan quickly takes note of this odd behavior, agreeing that his misplaced priorities are incredibly unnatural.<br /> <br /> Conan notices that the car window, which was closed moments ago, is now open, prompting him to wonder if the owner briefly returned or if someone else tampered with it for a specific reason. He then spots a brand-new dent on the vehicle's door that definitely was not there before, heightening his suspicion. While Ayumi and Genta comment on how the illegally parked car is a dangerous nuisance and feel bad for the owner, a sudden squeaking sound rings out. Mitsuhiko realizes that the noise is coming from a squeeze-toy horn being used in place of a regular doorbell, a crucial auditory detail that is caught by Conan.<br /> <br /> Conan has a sudden breakthrough, declaring that he has completely figured out the culprit's deception and method. He takes immediate charge, instructing Ayumi to go call Inspector Megure while ordering Mitsuhiko and Genta to sprint over and stop the tow truck from moving the vehicle. As the children rush off to carry out their tasks, Conan concludes that only one specific person could have orchestrated this setup, confidently identifying them in his mind as the true killer.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt; Conan halts the towing of the vehicle by declaring it critical evidence, explaining to a confused Inspector Meguire and the suspect, Shozo Mimiraki, that the car was actively used to commit the murder. Conan directly accuses '''Shozo Mimiraki''' as the killer and asks the inspector if he is familiar with cardboard box air cannons, explaining how striking a box with a round hole shoots out a compressed ring of air. He reveals that the killer used this exact scientific principle to launch lethal toxic gas at the victim. In realistic terms, Mimiraki turned a car into a massive air cannon. Mimiraki frantically dismisses the accusation as nonsense, arguing that a cardboard air cannon's range is restricted to a mere four or five meters, which makes it impossible to bridge the tunnel's massive 20-meter distance.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that Mr. Mimiraki achieved the required 20-meter range by turning the vehicle itself into a massive air cannon. Ayumi presents a roundly cut-out piece of cardboard found outside Mimiraki's office, which Conan demonstrates fits the car's window perfectly to form the weapon's nozzle. Conan reveals that Mimiraki filled the car's interior with toxic gas ahead of time and strategically positioned the window to face the tunnel's entrance. The moment the president stepped inside, Mimiraki delivered a powerful kick to the vehicle's exterior—leaving behind the fresh, noticeable dent—which forcefully compressed the cabin air and launched a high-velocity vortex of lethal gas straight at the unsuspecting victim.<br /> <br /> Mimiraki didn't just kick a car door. He completely sealed the cabin's vents, transforming the vehicle's interior into a pressurized plenum chamber equipped with a spring-loaded mechanical piston. By mixing the volatile hydrogen cyanide with a dense, aerosolized smoke carrier, he gave the gas the physical mass it needed to survive the trip. When he tripped the external release, the piston slammed inward, launching a perfectly stable, heavy toroidal vortex straight down the corridor. The confined walls of the tunnel acted like a rifle barrel, guiding the invisible, poison-laden ring directly into the victim's path before it could ever dilute into the surrounding air. Thereby the victim Tsuyoshi, with all his resentment and hatred in the world, never saw an invisible cloud of hydrogen cyanide heading his way. He took a literal carload full of hydrogen cyanide from the back as he walked alone in the tunnel. <br /> <br /> Using 50mg, the lethal amount for humans, at face value would more than likely have given Tsuyoshi a fighting chance for survival. In order to ensure a successful kill on the first strike, Mimiraki likely used 10 times the amount to compensate for the size of the car and travel distance of the vortex ring. Realizing something is amiss and that he was no longer breathing properly, Tsuyoshi naturally doubled back to the closet entrance where the Junior Detective League was, and before he even processed the danger, he was already clutching his chest and was murdered in less than a minute. The more he walked into the vortex ring, the more poison he unintentionally consumed. <br /> <br /> Conan explains that the air cannon works by trapping the poison inside a high-velocity, tornado-like vortex ring that immediately incapacitates anyone it hits. When a panicked Inspector Megure worries about lingering toxic fumes, Conan reassures him that the suspect used a stolen car and deliberately left the window rolled down to ventilate the cabin before the tow truck could clear the scene. Conan then drops the definitive piece of evidence: Mimiraki’s factory manufactures plating sprayers, meaning he has direct, unmonitored workplace access to the hydrogen cyanide used in the electroplating process, leaving the killer completely speechless.<br /> <br /> Mr. Mimiraki breaks down and confesses, explaining that he co-founded the company with Hiruta's late father out of a shared, lifelong passion for vinyl records and a desire to build the world's finest record players for nostalgic collectors. Inspector Meguire empathizes, agreeing that everyone has music tied to deeply personal memories. However, Mimiraki reveals his furious motive: the moment Hiruta's father passed away, Hiruta completely disregarded his father’s legacy and put the factory up for sale solely because it was no longer profitable, driving a resentful Mimiraki to murder him out of absolute betrayal. <br /> <br /> Amy tearfully denies Shozo’s motive. She understands him clearly and completely but when Shozo crossed the moral line of no return, any and all high ground he stood on evaporates. When she looked up at Shozo, she saw a musical genius passionately sharing his knowledge of his field but what stands before her is a cold calculated murderer. Shozo weaponized his talent for a monstrous act that adds yet another dark mark on the world. Tsuyoshi shielded the children from running inside the tunnel to save him, but he gave his own life so that she and her friends can continue walking this earth. Tsuyoshi may have undoubtedly been a “big meanie”, but his absolute human right to live should not have been violated with such a monstrous act of overkill, it’s not his place to make that judgment. Amy looks at Shozo with tears, asking him kindly to return to the man she saw at the record shop. Shozo looks down at Amy, the weight of his actions landing square in his shoulders. He nods in agreement with Amy, sheds a tear of his own and is arrested, looking back at the record store one final time before being taken away by Meguire and his men. Conan notes Amy’s words, acknowledging for the first time that her statement s were profoundly powerful, more so than his theory.<br /> <br /> On a happier note, the homeless man from earlier is exonerated and given resources to help his situation. On the other side of town, Richard enthusiastically claims that vinyl records contain far more auditory data than CDs, boasting that his new record player will finally allow him to hear every hidden sound. While Conan skeptically notes that fully capturing that detail isn't so simple, Rachel enjoys the music, remarking on its beautiful quality. This prompts Conan to reflect on how music brings back old memories, which leads a nostalgic Rachel to warmly reveal that the song currently playing is the exact one from her very first cafe date with Jimmy.<br /> <br /> The gentle, nostalgic melody of the vinyl record fills the quiet room, weaving a bridge between the present and a cherished yesterday. Rachel closes her eyes with a soft smile, entirely lost in the warmth of her memories, completely unaware that the boy standing right beside her is the very person she is longing for. As Conan watches her, his usual analytical mind falls silent, replaced by a quiet, bittersweet tenderness. He realizes that even though he cannot stand before her as Jimmy right now, the music has closed the distance between them, proving that the bond they share is entirely untouched by time or distance. For just a moment, as the song spins on the vintage player, they are together again on their very first date, bound by a wonderful sound that remembers what the heart could never forget. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraki|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old<br /> * Sound and Phonetics Expert}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informs the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hydrogen cyanide poisoning <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Shozo Mimiraki and the homeless man<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and Inspector Meguire arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory.

As Conan watches her, his usual analytical mind falls silent, replaced by a quiet, bittersweet tenderness. He realizes that even though he cannot stand before her as Jimmy right now, the music has closed the distance between them, proving that the bond they share is entirely untouched by time or distance. For just a moment, as the song spins on the vintage player, they are together again on their very first date, bound by a wonderful sound that remembers what the heart could never forget. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraki|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old<br /> * Sound and Phonetics Expert}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informsp the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hydrogen cyanide poisoning <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Shozo Mimiraki and the homeless man<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and Inspector Meguire arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory. While the inspector concludes that leaking gas must have filled the tunnel earlier when Tsuyoshi Hiruta emerged agonizing in pain, the gas utility workers firmly protest, insisting they completed their repair construction work perfectly. Conan remains completely silent and deeply skeptical of the official theory as he analyzes the details, just as another officer suddenly brings forward a suspicious, bearded man caught loitering in front of the tunnel entrance.<br /> <br /> The bearded suspect loudly protests his innocence, but before the inspector can question him, Amy frantically interrupts to declare that the tragedy is actually a curse from the tunnel. As the inspector questions her claim and Conan looks on silently, Amy terrifiedly explains that the area used to be an ancient graveyard torn down to make a national highway, and they dug right through where bones were buried to build the tunnel. Mitsuhiko tries to calm her down, but she tearfully insists that the supernatural curse is absolutely real.<br /> <br /> Conan silently rejects the childish ghost stories, but the grim reality he uncovers is far more terrifying than any supernatural curse: this was a calculated, cold-blooded execution. The crime scene defies all logic, leaving a chilling paradox because the helpless victim was completely alone, trapped inside the claustrophobic darkness of the tunnel with no visible attacker in sight when he drew his final, agonized breath. As the shadows stretch over the lifeless body, a disturbing question lingers in the air like a nightmare—how could unseen forces brutally murder a man from afar without ever leaving a trace?<br /> <br /> === File 2 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> In this continuation of the investigation, Inspector Meguire questions Mimiraki, confirming that the deceased victim, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, was indeed the president of his company. The focus of the investigation quickly shifts to the physical cause of death as they discuss the possibility of a gas leak inside the tunnel. However, an onsite gas company worker explicitly refutes this theory, confirming that they performed the construction work perfectly and pointing out that modern city gas is natural gas, which is non-toxic and wouldn't cause someone to drop dead from simply inhaling it. This revelation leaves the police force and Conan back at square one, ruling out a simple environmental accident. <br /> <br /> A forensic worker reveals that the victim's vomit carries a distinct almond scent, confirming the true cause of death as hydrogen cyanide poisoning. A mere 50 milligrams of this fast-acting, deadly toxin can instantly induce cardiac arrest, adding truth to Conan’s internal statement that Tsuyoshi Hiruta was deliberately murdered with terrifying precision.<br /> <br /> The investigation shifts toward a homeless man living in the park near the tunnel, who aggressively defends himself by claiming he stayed outside due to the scheduled gas leak maintenance. The kids notice he is the same homeless man from before. Although Inspector Joseph Meguire notes that hydrogen cyanide is a highly restricted substance that a typical citizen or a homeless individual could not easily acquire, Conan remains observant as the police struggle to pinpoint how such a lethal poison was surreptitiously administered.<br /> <br /> Hydrogen cyanide is a volatile, colorless chemical agent with a deceptively faint scent of bitter almonds, first isolated in 1782 by chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele from the pigment Prussian blue. (Scheele is also known in the streets at the inventor of Scheele’s Green). It acts as a swift cellular asphyxiant by binding to mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme essential for cellular energy production. By disrupting this biological process, it prevents the body from utilizing oxygen at a cellular level, even when oxygen is present in the bloodstream. The central nervous system and the heart, which have the highest oxygen requirements, are particularly sensitive to these effects. Its toxicity is extreme and rapid: inhalation of concentrated vapors can trigger immediate respiratory distress, neurological symptoms, and cardiovascular collapse.<br /> <br /> Inside a 20-meter tunnel ideal for murder due to low foot traffic, Conan questions why the culprit chose a location where they risked being easily caught by anyone entering from the outside. Nearby, a company representative expresses relief that an illegally parked car is being towed, noting it caused major trouble in front of their building. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko point out how strange and relaxed the gentleman seems, finding it highly suspicious that he is fussing over parking logistics immediately after his company's president has died. Conan quickly takes note of this odd behavior, agreeing that his misplaced priorities are incredibly unnatural.<br /> <br /> Conan notices that the car window, which was closed moments ago, is now open, prompting him to wonder if the owner briefly returned or if someone else tampered with it for a specific reason. He then spots a brand-new dent on the vehicle's door that definitely was not there before, heightening his suspicion. While Ayumi and Genta comment on how the illegally parked car is a dangerous nuisance and feel bad for the owner, a sudden squeaking sound rings out. Mitsuhiko realizes that the noise is coming from a squeeze-toy horn being used in place of a regular doorbell, a crucial auditory detail that is caught by Conan.<br /> <br /> Conan has a sudden breakthrough, declaring that he has completely figured out the culprit's deception and method. He takes immediate charge, instructing Ayumi to go call Inspector Megure while ordering Mitsuhiko and Genta to sprint over and stop the tow truck from moving the vehicle. As the children rush off to carry out their tasks, Conan concludes that only one specific person could have orchestrated this setup, confidently identifying them in his mind as the true killer.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt; Conan halts the towing of the vehicle by declaring it critical evidence, explaining to a confused Inspector Meguire and the suspect, Shozo Mimiraki, that the car was actively used to commit the murder. Conan directly accuses '''Shozo Mimiraki''' as the killer and asks the inspector if he is familiar with cardboard box air cannons, explaining how striking a box with a round hole shoots out a compressed ring of air. He reveals that the killer used this exact scientific principle to launch lethal toxic gas at the victim. Mimiraki frantically dismisses the accusation as nonsense, arguing that a cardboard air cannon's range is restricted to a mere four or five meters, which makes it impossible to bridge the tunnel's massive 20-meter distance.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that Mr. Mimiraki achieved the required 20-meter range by turning the vehicle itself into a massive air cannon. Ayumi presents a roundly cut-out piece of cardboard found outside Mimiraki's office, which Conan demonstrates fits the car's window perfectly to form the weapon's nozzle. Conan reveals that Mimiraki filled the car's interior with toxic gas ahead of time and strategically positioned the window to face the tunnel's entrance. The moment the president stepped inside, Mimiraki delivered a powerful kick to the vehicle's exterior—leaving behind the fresh, noticeable dent—which forcefully compressed the cabin air and launched a high-velocity vortex of lethal gas straight at the unsuspecting victim.<br /> <br /> Mimiraki didn't just kick a car door. He completely sealed the cabin's vents, transforming the vehicle's interior into a pressurized plenum chamber equipped with a spring-loaded mechanical piston. By mixing the volatile hydrogen cyanide with a dense, aerosolized smoke carrier, he gave the gas the physical mass it needed to survive the trip. When he tripped the external release, the piston slammed inward, launching a perfectly stable, heavy toroidal vortex straight down the corridor. The confined walls of the tunnel acted like a rifle barrel, guiding the invisible, poison-laden ring directly into the victim's path before it could ever dilute into the surrounding air. Thereby the victim Tsuyoshi, with all his resentment and hatred in the world, never saw an invisible cloud of hydrogen cyanide heading his way. He took a literal carload full of hydrogen cyanide from the back as he walked alone in the tunnel. <br /> <br /> Using 50mg, the lethal amount for humans, at face value would more than likely have given Tsuyoshi a fighting chance for survival. In order to ensure a successful kill on the first strike, Mimiraki likely used 10 times the amount to compensate for the size of the car and travel distance of the vortex ring. Realizing something is amiss and that he was no longer breathing properly, Tsuyoshi naturally doubled back to the closet entrance where the Junior Detective League was, and before he even processed the danger, he was already clutching his chest and was murdered in less than a minute. The more he walked into the vortex ring, the more poison he unintentionally consumed. <br /> <br /> Conan explains that the air cannon works by trapping the poison inside a high-velocity, tornado-like vortex ring that immediately incapacitates anyone it hits. When a panicked Inspector Megure worries about lingering toxic fumes, Conan reassures him that the suspect used a stolen car and deliberately left the window rolled down to ventilate the cabin before the tow truck could clear the scene. Conan then drops the definitive piece of evidence: Mimiraki’s factory manufactures plating sprayers, meaning he has direct, unmonitored workplace access to the hydrogen cyanide used in the electroplating process, leaving the killer completely speechless.<br /> <br /> Mr. Mimiraki breaks down and confesses, explaining that he co-founded the company with Hiruta's late father out of a shared, lifelong passion for vinyl records and a desire to build the world's finest record players for nostalgic collectors. Inspector Meguire empathizes, agreeing that everyone has music tied to deeply personal memories. However, Mimiraki reveals his furious motive: the moment Hiruta's father passed away, Hiruta completely disregarded his father’s legacy and put the factory up for sale solely because it was no longer profitable, driving a resentful Mimiraki to murder him out of absolute betrayal. <br /> <br /> Amy tearfully denies Shozo’s motive. She understands him clearly and completely but when Shozo crossed the moral line of no return, any and all high ground he stood on evaporates. When she looked up at Shozo, she saw a musical genius passionately sharing his knowledge of his field but what stands before her is a cold calculated murderer. Shozo weaponized his talent for a monstrous act that adds yet another dark mark on the world. Tsuyoshi shielded the children from running inside the tunnel to save him, but he gave his own life so that she and her friends can continue walking this earth. Amy looks at Shozo with tears, asking him kindly to return to the man she saw at the record shop. Shozo looks down at Amy, the weight of his actions landing square in his shoulders. He nods in agreement with Amy, sheds a tear of his own and is arrested, looking back at the record store one final time before being taken away by Meguire and his men.<br /> <br /> On a happier note, the homeless man from earlier is exonerated and given resources to help his situation.

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informsp the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hydrogen cyanide poisoning <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Shozo Mimiraki and the homeless man<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and Inspector Meguire arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory. While the inspector concludes that leaking gas must have filled the tunnel earlier when Tsuyoshi Hiruta emerged agonizing in pain, the gas utility workers firmly protest, insisting they completed their repair construction work perfectly. Conan remains completely silent and deeply skeptical of the official theory as he analyzes the details, just as another officer suddenly brings forward a suspicious, bearded man caught loitering in front of the tunnel entrance.<br /> <br /> The bearded suspect loudly protests his innocence, but before the inspector can question him, Amy frantically interrupts to declare that the tragedy is actually a curse from the tunnel. As the inspector questions her claim and Conan looks on silently, Amy terrifiedly explains that the area used to be an ancient graveyard torn down to make a national highway, and they dug right through where bones were buried to build the tunnel. Mitsuhiko tries to calm her down, but she tearfully insists that the supernatural curse is absolutely real.<br /> <br /> Conan silently rejects the childish ghost stories, but the grim reality he uncovers is far more terrifying than any supernatural curse: this was a calculated, cold-blooded execution. The crime scene defies all logic, leaving a chilling paradox because the helpless victim was completely alone, trapped inside the claustrophobic darkness of the tunnel with no visible attacker in sight when he drew his final, agonized breath. As the shadows stretch over the lifeless body, a disturbing question lingers in the air like a nightmare—how could unseen forces brutally murder a man from afar without ever leaving a trace?<br /> <br /> === File 2 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> In this continuation of the investigation, Inspector Meguire questions Mimiraki, confirming that the deceased victim, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, was indeed the president of his company. The focus of the investigation quickly shifts to the physical cause of death as they discuss the possibility of a gas leak inside the tunnel. However, an onsite gas company worker explicitly refutes this theory, confirming that they performed the construction work perfectly and pointing out that modern city gas is natural gas, which is non-toxic and wouldn't cause someone to drop dead from simply inhaling it. This revelation leaves the police force and Conan back at square one, ruling out a simple environmental accident. <br /> <br /> A forensic worker reveals that the victim's vomit carries a distinct almond scent, confirming the true cause of death as hydrogen cyanide poisoning. A mere 50 milligrams of this fast-acting, deadly toxin can instantly induce cardiac arrest, adding truth to Conan’s internal statement that Tsuyoshi Hiruta was deliberately murdered with terrifying precision.<br /> <br /> The investigation shifts toward a homeless man living in the park near the tunnel, who aggressively defends himself by claiming he stayed outside due to the scheduled gas leak maintenance. The kids notice he is the same homeless man from before. Although Inspector Joseph Meguire notes that hydrogen cyanide is a highly restricted substance that a typical citizen or a homeless individual could not easily acquire, Conan remains observant as the police struggle to pinpoint how such a lethal poison was surreptitiously administered.<br /> <br /> Hydrogen cyanide is a volatile, colorless chemical agent with a deceptively faint scent of bitter almonds, first isolated in 1782 by chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele from the pigment Prussian blue. (Scheele is also known in the streets at the inventor of Scheele’s Green). It acts as a swift cellular asphyxiant by binding to mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme essential for cellular energy production. By disrupting this biological process, it prevents the body from utilizing oxygen at a cellular level, even when oxygen is present in the bloodstream. The central nervous system and the heart, which have the highest oxygen requirements, are particularly sensitive to these effects. Its toxicity is extreme and rapid: inhalation of concentrated vapors can trigger immediate respiratory distress, neurological symptoms, and cardiovascular collapse.<br /> <br /> Inside a 20-meter tunnel ideal for murder due to low foot traffic, Conan questions why the culprit chose a location where they risked being easily caught by anyone entering from the outside. Nearby, a company representative expresses relief that an illegally parked car is being towed, noting it caused major trouble in front of their building. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko point out how strange and relaxed the gentleman seems, finding it highly suspicious that he is fussing over parking logistics immediately after his company's president has died. Conan quickly takes note of this odd behavior, agreeing that his misplaced priorities are incredibly unnatural.<br /> <br /> Conan notices that the car window, which was closed moments ago, is now open, prompting him to wonder if the owner briefly returned or if someone else tampered with it for a specific reason. He then spots a brand-new dent on the vehicle's door that definitely was not there before, heightening his suspicion. While Ayumi and Genta comment on how the illegally parked car is a dangerous nuisance and feel bad for the owner, a sudden squeaking sound rings out. Mitsuhiko realizes that the noise is coming from a squeeze-toy horn being used in place of a regular doorbell, a crucial auditory detail that is caught by Conan.<br /> <br /> Conan has a sudden breakthrough, declaring that he has completely figured out the culprit's deception and method. He takes immediate charge, instructing Ayumi to go call Inspector Megure while ordering Mitsuhiko and Genta to sprint over and stop the tow truck from moving the vehicle. As the children rush off to carry out their tasks, Conan concludes that only one specific person could have orchestrated this setup, confidently identifying them in his mind as the true killer.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt; Conan halts the towing of the vehicle by declaring it critical evidence, explaining to a confused Inspector Meguire and the suspect, Shozo Mimiraki, that the car was actively used to commit the murder. Conan directly accuses '''Shozo Mimiraki''' as the killer and asks the inspector if he is familiar with cardboard box air cannons, explaining how striking a box with a round hole shoots out a compressed ring of air. He reveals that the killer used this exact scientific principle to launch lethal toxic gas at the victim. Mimiraki frantically dismisses the accusation as nonsense, arguing that a cardboard air cannon's range is restricted to a mere four or five meters, which makes it impossible to bridge the tunnel's massive 20-meter distance.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that Mr. Mimiraki achieved the required 20-meter range by turning the vehicle itself into a massive air cannon. Ayumi presents a roundly cut-out piece of cardboard found outside Mimiraki's office, which Conan demonstrates fits the car's window perfectly to form the weapon's nozzle. Conan reveals that Mimiraki filled the car's interior with toxic gas ahead of time and strategically positioned the window to face the tunnel's entrance. The moment the president stepped inside, Mimiraki delivered a powerful kick to the vehicle's exterior—leaving behind the fresh, noticeable dent—which forcefully compressed the cabin air and launched a high-velocity vortex of lethal gas straight at the unsuspecting victim.<br /> <br /> Mimiraki didn't just kick a car door. He completely sealed the cabin's vents, transforming the vehicle's interior into a pressurized plenum chamber equipped with a spring-loaded mechanical piston. By mixing the volatile hydrogen cyanide with a dense, aerosolized smoke carrier, he gave the gas the physical mass it needed to survive the trip. When he tripped the external release, the piston slammed inward, launching a perfectly stable, heavy toroidal vortex straight down the corridor. The confined walls of the tunnel acted like a rifle barrel, guiding the invisible, poison-laden ring directly into the victim's path before it could ever dilute into the surrounding air. Thereby the victim Tsuyoshi, with all his resentment and hatred in the world, never saw an invisible cloud of hydrogen cyanide heading his way. He took a literal carload full of hydrogen cyanide from the back as he walked alone in the tunnel. <br /> <br /> Using 50mg, the lethal amount for humans, at face value would more than likely have given Tsuyoshi a fighting chance for survival. In order to ensure a successful kill on the first strike, Mimiraki likely used 10 times the amount to compensate for the size of the car and travel distance of the vortex ring. Realizing something is amiss and that he was no longer breathing properly, Tsuyoshi naturally doubled back to the closet entrance where the Junior Detective League was, and before he even processed the danger, he was already clutching his chest and was murdered in less than a minute. The more he walked into the vortex ring, the more poison he unintentionally consumed. <br /> <br /> Conan explains that the air cannon works by trapping the poison inside a high-velocity, tornado-like vortex ring that immediately incapacitates anyone it hits. When a panicked Inspector Megure worries about lingering toxic fumes, Conan reassures him that the suspect used a stolen car and deliberately left the window rolled down to ventilate the cabin before the tow truck could clear the scene. Conan then drops the definitive piece of evidence: Mimiraki’s factory manufactures plating sprayers, meaning he has direct, unmonitored workplace access to the hydrogen cyanide used in the electroplating process, leaving the killer completely speechless.<br /> <br /> Mr. Mimiraki breaks down and confesses, explaining that he co-founded the company with Hiruta's late father out of a shared, lifelong passion for vinyl records and a desire to build the world's finest record players for nostalgic collectors. Inspector Meguire empathizes, agreeing that everyone has music tied to deeply personal memories. However, Mimiraki reveals his furious motive: the moment Hiruta's father passed away, Hiruta completely disregarded his father’s legacy and put the factory up for sale solely because it was no longer profitable, driving a resentful Mimiraki to murder him out of absolute betrayal. Shozo is arrested, looking back at the record store one final time before being taken away by Meguire and his men.<br /> <br /> On a happier note, the homeless man from earlier is exonerated and given resources to help his situation. On the other side of town, Richard enthusiastically claims that vinyl records contain far more auditory data than CDs, boasting that his new record player will finally allow him to hear every hidden sound. While Conan skeptically notes that fully capturing that detail isn't so simple, Rachel enjoys the music, remarking on its beautiful quality. This prompts Conan to reflect on how music brings back old memories, which leads a nostalgic Rachel to warmly reveal that the song currently playing is the exact one from her very first cafe date with Jimmy.<br /> <br /> The gentle, nostalgic melody of the vinyl record fills the quiet room, weaving a bridge between the present and a cherished yesterday. Rachel closes her eyes with a soft smile, entirely lost in the warmth of her memories, completely unaware that the boy standing right beside her is the very person she is longing for. As Conan watches her, his usual analytical mind falls silent, replaced by a quiet, bittersweet tenderness. He realizes that even though he cannot stand before her as Jimmy right now, the music has closed the distance between them, proving that the bond they share is entirely untouched by time or distance. For just a moment, as the song spins on the vintage player, they are together again on their very first date, bound by a wonderful sound that remembers what the heart could never forget. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraki|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old<br /> * Sound and Phonetics Expert}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hydrogen cyanide poisoning <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Shozo Mimiraki and the homeless man<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and Inspector Meguire arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory. While the inspector concludes that leaking gas must have filled the tunnel earlier when Tsuyoshi Hiruta emerged agonizing in pain, the gas utility workers firmly protest, insisting they completed their repair construction work perfectly. Conan remains completely silent and deeply skeptical of the official theory as he analyzes the details, just as another officer suddenly brings forward a suspicious, bearded man caught loitering in front of the tunnel entrance.<br /> <br /> The bearded suspect loudly protests his innocence, but before the inspector can question him, Amy frantically interrupts to declare that the tragedy is actually a curse from the tunnel. As the inspector questions her claim and Conan looks on silently, Amy terrifiedly explains that the area used to be an ancient graveyard torn down to make a national highway, and they dug right through where bones were buried to build the tunnel. Mitsuhiko tries to calm her down, but she tearfully insists that the supernatural curse is absolutely real.<br /> <br /> Conan silently rejects the childish ghost stories, but the grim reality he uncovers is far more terrifying than any supernatural curse: this was a calculated, cold-blooded execution. The crime scene defies all logic, leaving a chilling paradox because the helpless victim was completely alone, trapped inside the claustrophobic darkness of the tunnel with no visible attacker in sight when he drew his final, agonized breath. As the shadows stretch over the lifeless body, a disturbing question lingers in the air like a nightmare—how could unseen forces brutally murder a man from afar without ever leaving a trace?<br /> <br /> === File 2 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> In this continuation of the investigation, Inspector Meguire questions Mimiraki, confirming that the deceased victim, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, was indeed the president of his company. The focus of the investigation quickly shifts to the physical cause of death as they discuss the possibility of a gas leak inside the tunnel. However, an onsite gas company worker explicitly refutes this theory, confirming that they performed the construction work perfectly and pointing out that modern city gas is natural gas, which is non-toxic and wouldn't cause someone to drop dead from simply inhaling it. This revelation leaves the police force and Conan back at square one, ruling out a simple environmental accident. <br /> <br /> A forensic worker reveals that the victim's vomit carries a distinct almond scent, confirming the true cause of death as hydrogen cyanide poisoning. A mere 50 milligrams of this fast-acting, deadly toxin can instantly induce cardiac arrest, adding truth to Conan’s internal statement that Tsuyoshi Hiruta was deliberately murdered with terrifying precision.<br /> <br /> The investigation shifts toward a homeless man living in the park near the tunnel, who aggressively defends himself by claiming he stayed outside due to the scheduled gas leak maintenance. The kids notice he is the same homeless man from before. Although Inspector Joseph Meguire notes that hydrogen cyanide is a highly restricted substance that a typical citizen or a homeless individual could not easily acquire, Conan remains observant as the police struggle to pinpoint how such a lethal poison was surreptitiously administered.<br /> <br /> Hydrogen cyanide is a volatile, colorless chemical agent with a deceptively faint scent of bitter almonds, first isolated in 1782 by chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele from the pigment Prussian blue. (Scheele is also known in the streets at the inventor of Scheele’s Green). It acts as a swift cellular asphyxiant by binding to mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme essential for cellular energy production. By disrupting this biological process, it prevents the body from utilizing oxygen at a cellular level, even when oxygen is present in the bloodstream. The central nervous system and the heart, which have the highest oxygen requirements, are particularly sensitive to these effects. Its toxicity is extreme and rapid: inhalation of concentrated vapors can trigger immediate respiratory distress, neurological symptoms, and cardiovascular collapse.<br /> <br /> Inside a 20-meter tunnel ideal for murder due to low foot traffic, Conan questions why the culprit chose a location where they risked being easily caught by anyone entering from the outside. Nearby, a company representative expresses relief that an illegally parked car is being towed, noting it caused major trouble in front of their building. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko point out how strange and relaxed the gentleman seems, finding it highly suspicious that he is fussing over parking logistics immediately after his company's president has died. Conan quickly takes note of this odd behavior, agreeing that his misplaced priorities are incredibly unnatural.<br /> <br /> Conan notices that the car window, which was closed moments ago, is now open, prompting him to wonder if the owner briefly returned or if someone else tampered with it for a specific reason. He then spots a brand-new dent on the vehicle's door that definitely was not there before, heightening his suspicion. While Ayumi and Genta comment on how the illegally parked car is a dangerous nuisance and feel bad for the owner, a sudden squeaking sound rings out. Mitsuhiko realizes that the noise is coming from a squeeze-toy horn being used in place of a regular doorbell, a crucial auditory detail that is caught by Conan.<br /> <br /> Conan has a sudden breakthrough, declaring that he has completely figured out the culprit's deception and method. He takes immediate charge, instructing Ayumi to go call Inspector Megure while ordering Mitsuhiko and Genta to sprint over and stop the tow truck from moving the vehicle. As the children rush off to carry out their tasks, Conan concludes that only one specific person could have orchestrated this setup, confidently identifying them in his mind as the true killer.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt; Conan halts the towing of the vehicle by declaring it critical evidence, explaining to a confused Inspector Meguire and the suspect, Shozo Mimiraki, that the car was actively used to commit the murder. Conan directly accuses '''Shozo Mimiraki''' as the killer and asks the inspector if he is familiar with cardboard box air cannons, explaining how striking a box with a round hole shoots out a compressed ring of air. He reveals that the killer used this exact scientific principle to launch lethal toxic gas at the victim. Mimiraki frantically dismisses the accusation as nonsense, arguing that a cardboard air cannon's range is restricted to a mere four or five meters, which makes it impossible to bridge the tunnel's massive 20-meter distance.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that Mr. Mimiraki achieved the required 20-meter range by turning the vehicle itself into a massive air cannon. Ayumi presents a roundly cut-out piece of cardboard found outside Mimiraki's office, which Conan demonstrates fits the car's window perfectly to form the weapon's nozzle. Conan reveals that Mimiraki filled the car's interior with toxic gas ahead of time and strategically positioned the window to face the tunnel's entrance. The moment the president stepped inside, Mimiraki delivered a powerful kick to the vehicle's exterior—leaving behind the fresh, noticeable dent—which forcefully compressed the cabin air and launched a high-velocity vortex of lethal gas straight at the unsuspecting victim.<br /> <br /> Mimiraki didn't just kick a car door. He completely sealed the cabin's vents, transforming the vehicle's interior into a pressurized plenum chamber equipped with a spring-loaded mechanical piston. By mixing the volatile hydrogen cyanide with a dense, aerosolized smoke carrier, he gave the gas the physical mass it needed to survive the trip. When he tripped the external release, the piston slammed inward, launching a perfectly stable, heavy toroidal vortex straight down the corridor. The confined walls of the tunnel acted like a rifle barrel, guiding the invisible, poison-laden ring directly into the victim's path before it could ever dilute into the surrounding air. Thereby the victim Tsuyoshi, with all his resentment and hatred in the world, never saw an invisible cloud of hydrogen cyanide heading his way. He took a literal carload full of hydrogen cyanide from the back as he walked alone in the tunnel. <br /> <br /> Using 50mg, the lethal amount for humans, at face value would more than likely have Tsuyoshi a fighting chance for survival. In order to ensure a successful kill on the first strike, Mimiraki likely used 10 times the amount to compensate for the size of the car and travel distance of the vortex ring.Realizing something is amiss and that he was no longer breathing properly, Tsuyoshi naturally doubled back to the closet entrance where the Junior Detective League was, and before he even processed the danger, he was already clutching his chest and was murdered in less than a minute. The more he walked into the vortex ring, the more poison he unintentionally consumed. <br /> <br /> Conan explains that the air cannon works by trapping the poison inside a high-velocity, tornado-like vortex ring that immediately incapacitates anyone it hits. When a panicked Inspector Megure worries about lingering toxic fumes, Conan reassures him that the suspect used a stolen car and deliberately left the window rolled down to ventilate the cabin before the tow truck could clear the scene. Conan then drops the definitive piece of evidence: Mimiraki’s factory manufactures plating sprayers, meaning he has direct, unmonitored workplace access to the hydrogen cyanide used in the electroplating process, leaving the killer completely speechless.<br /> <br /> Mr. Mimiraki breaks down and confesses, explaining that he co-founded the company with Hiruta's late father out of a shared, lifelong passion for vinyl records and a desire to build the world's finest record players for nostalgic collectors. Inspector Meguire empathizes, agreeing that everyone has music tied to deeply personal memories. However, Mimiraki reveals his furious motive: the moment Hiruta's father passed away, Hiruta completely disregarded his father’s legacy and put the factory up for sale solely because it was no longer profitable, driving a resentful Mimiraki to murder him out of absolute betrayal. Shozo is arrested, looking back at the record store one final time before being taken away by Meguire and his men.<br /> <br /> On a happier note, the homeless man from earlier is exonerated and given resources to help his situation. On the other side of town, Richard enthusiastically claims that vinyl records contain far more auditory data than CDs, boasting that his new record player will finally allow him to hear every hidden sound. While Conan skeptically notes that fully capturing that detail isn't so simple, Rachel enjoys the music, remarking on its beautiful quality. This prompts Conan to reflect on how music brings back old memories, which leads a nostalgic Rachel to warmly reveal that the song currently playing is the exact one from her very first cafe date with Jimmy.<br /> <br /> The gentle, nostalgic melody of the vinyl record fills the quiet room, weaving a bridge between the present and a cherished yesterday. Rachel closes her eyes with a soft smile, entirely lost in the warmth of her memories, completely unaware that the boy standing right beside her is the very person she is longing for. As Conan watches her, his usual analytical mind falls silent, replaced by a quiet, bittersweet tenderness. He realizes that even though he cannot stand before her as Jimmy right now, the music has closed the distance between them, proving that the bond they share is entirely untouched by time or distance. For just a moment, as the song spins on the vintage player, they are together again on their very first date, bound by a wonderful sound that remembers what the heart could never forget. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraki|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old<br /> * Sound and Phonetics Expert}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informsp the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through.

Conan reveals that Mimiraki filled the car's interior with toxic gas ahead of time and strategically positioned the window to face the tunnel's entrance. The moment the president stepped inside, Mimiraki delivered a powerful kick to the vehicle's exterior—leaving behind the fresh, noticeable dent—which forcefully compressed the cabin air and launched a high-velocity vortex of lethal gas straight at the unsuspecting victim.<br /> <br /> Mimiraki didn't just kick a car door. He completely sealed the cabin's vents, transforming the vehicle's interior into a pressurized plenum chamber equipped with a spring-loaded mechanical piston. By mixing the volatile hydrogen cyanide with a dense, aerosolized smoke carrier, he gave the gas the physical mass it needed to survive the trip. When he tripped the external release, the piston slammed inward, launching a perfectly stable, heavy toroidal vortex straight down the corridor. The confined walls of the tunnel acted like a rifle barrel, guiding the invisible, poison-laden ring directly into the victim's path before it could ever dilute into the surrounding air. Thereby the victim Tsuyoshi, with all his resentment and hatred in the world, never saw an invisible cloud of hydrogen cyanide heading his way. He took a literal carload full of hydrogen cyanide from the back as he walked alone in the tunnel. Using 50mg, the lethal amount for humans, at face value would more than likely have Tsuyoshi a fighting chance for survival. In order to ensure a successful kill on the first strike, Mimiraki likely used 10 times the amount to compensate for the size of the car and travel distance of the vortex ring.Realizing something is amiss and that he was no longer breathing properly, Tsuyoshi naturally doubled back to the closet entrance where the Junior Detective League was, and before he even processed the danger, he was already clutching his chest and was murdered in less than a minute. The more he walked into the vortex ring, the more poison he unintentionally consumed. <br /> P<br /> Conan explains that the air cannon works by trapping the poison inside a high-velocity, tornado-like vortex ring that immediately incapacitates anyone it hits. When a panicked Inspector Megure worries about lingering toxic fumes, Conan reassures him that the suspect used a stolen car and deliberately left the window rolled down to ventilate the cabin before the tow truck could clear the scene. Conan then drops the definitive piece of evidence: Mimiraki’s factory manufactures plating sprayers, meaning he has direct, unmonitored workplace access to the hydrogen cyanide used in the electroplating process, leaving the killer completely speechless.<br /> <br /> Mr. Mimiraki breaks down and confesses, explaining that he co-founded the company with Hiruta's late father out of a shared, lifelong passion for vinyl records and a desire to build the world's finest record players for nostalgic collectors. Inspector Meguire empathizes, agreeing that everyone has music tied to deeply personal memories. However, Mimiraki reveals his furious motive: the moment Hiruta's father passed away, Hiruta completely disregarded his father’s legacy and put the factory up for sale solely because it was no longer profitable, driving a resentful Mimiraki to murder him out of absolute betrayal. Shozo is arrested, looking back at the record store one final time before being taken away by Meguire and his men.<br /> <br /> On a happier note, the homeless man from earlier is exonerated and given resources to help his situation. On the other side of town, Richard enthusiastically claims that vinyl records contain far more auditory data than CDs, boasting that his new record player will finally allow him to hear every hidden sound. While Conan skeptically notes that fully capturing that detail isn't so simple, Rachel enjoys the music, remarking on its beautiful quality. This prompts Conan to reflect on how music brings back old memories, which leads a nostalgic Rachel to warmly reveal that the song currently playing is the exact one from her very first cafe date with Jimmy.<br /> <br /> The gentle, nostalgic melody of the vinyl record fills the quiet room, weaving a bridge between the present and a cherished yesterday. Rachel closes her eyes with a soft smile, entirely lost in the warmth of her memories, completely unaware that the boy standing right beside her is the very person she is longing for. As Conan watches her, his usual analytical mind falls silent, replaced by a quiet, bittersweet tenderness. He realizes that even though he cannot stand before her as Jimmy right now, the music has closed the distance between them, proving that the bond they share is entirely untouched by time or distance. For just a moment, as the song spins on the vintage player, they are together again on their very first date, bound by a wonderful sound that remembers what the heart could never forget. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraki|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old<br /> * Sound and Phonetics Expert}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informsp the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hydrogen cyanide poisoning <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Shozo Mimiraki and the homeless man<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and Inspector Meguire arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory. While the inspector concludes that leaking gas must have filled the tunnel earlier when Tsuyoshi Hiruta emerged agonizing in pain, the gas utility workers firmly protest, insisting they completed their repair construction work perfectly. Conan remains completely silent and deeply skeptical of the official theory as he analyzes the details, just as another officer suddenly brings forward a suspicious, bearded man caught loitering in front of the tunnel entrance.<br /> <br /> The bearded suspect loudly protests his innocence, but before the inspector can question him, Amy frantically interrupts to declare that the tragedy is actually a curse from the tunnel. As the inspector questions her claim and Conan looks on silently, Amy terrifiedly explains that the area used to be an ancient graveyard torn down to make a national highway, and they dug right through where bones were buried to build the tunnel. Mitsuhiko tries to calm her down, but she tearfully insists that the supernatural curse is absolutely real.<br /> <br /> Conan silently rejects the childish ghost stories, but the grim reality he uncovers is far more terrifying than any supernatural curse: this was a calculated, cold-blooded execution. The crime scene defies all logic, leaving a chilling paradox because the helpless victim was completely alone, trapped inside the claustrophobic darkness of the tunnel with no visible attacker in sight when he drew his final, agonized breath. As the shadows stretch over the lifeless body, a disturbing question lingers in the air like a nightmare—how could unseen forces brutally murder a man from afar without ever leaving a trace?<br /> <br /> === File 2 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> In this continuation of the investigation, Inspector Meguire questions Mimiraki, confirming that the deceased victim, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, was indeed the president of his company. The focus of the investigation quickly shifts to the physical cause of death as they discuss the possibility of a gas leak inside the tunnel. However, an onsite gas company worker explicitly refutes this theory, confirming that they performed the construction work perfectly and pointing out that modern city gas is natural gas, which is non-toxic and wouldn't cause someone to drop dead from simply inhaling it. This revelation leaves the police force and Conan back at square one, ruling out a simple environmental accident. <br /> <br /> A forensic worker reveals that the victim's vomit carries a distinct almond scent, confirming the true cause of death as hydrogen cyanide poisoning. A mere 50 milligrams of this fast-acting, deadly toxin can instantly induce cardiac arrest, adding truth to Conan’s internal statement that Tsuyoshi Hiruta was deliberately murdered with terrifying precision.<br /> <br /> The investigation shifts toward a homeless man living in the park near the tunnel, who aggressively defends himself by claiming he stayed outside due to the scheduled gas leak maintenance. The kids notice he is the same homeless man from before. Although Inspector Joseph Meguire notes that hydrogen cyanide is a highly restricted substance that a typical citizen or a homeless individual could not easily acquire, Conan remains observant as the police struggle to pinpoint how such a lethal poison was surreptitiously administered.<br /> <br /> Hydrogen cyanide is a volatile, colorless chemical agent with a deceptively faint scent of bitter almonds, first isolated in 1782 by chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele from the pigment Prussian blue. (Scheele is also known in the streets at the inventor of Scheele’s Green). It acts as a swift cellular asphyxiant by binding to mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme essential for cellular energy production. By disrupting this biological process, it prevents the body from utilizing oxygen at a cellular level, even when oxygen is present in the bloodstream. The central nervous system and the heart, which have the highest oxygen requirements, are particularly sensitive to these effects. Its toxicity is extreme and rapid: inhalation of concentrated vapors can trigger immediate respiratory distress, neurological symptoms, and cardiovascular collapse.<br /> <br /> Inside a 20-meter tunnel ideal for murder due to low foot traffic, Conan questions why the culprit chose a location where they risked being easily caught by anyone entering from the outside. Nearby, a company representative expresses relief that an illegally parked car is being towed, noting it caused major trouble in front of their building. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko point out how strange and relaxed the gentleman seems, finding it highly suspicious that he is fussing over parking logistics immediately after his company's president has died. Conan quickly takes note of this odd behavior, agreeing that his misplaced priorities are incredibly unnatural.<br /> <br /> Conan notices that the car window, which was closed moments ago, is now open, prompting him to wonder if the owner briefly returned or if someone else tampered with it for a specific reason. He then spots a brand-new dent on the vehicle's door that definitely was not there before, heightening his suspicion. While Ayumi and Genta comment on how the illegally parked car is a dangerous nuisance and feel bad for the owner, a sudden squeaking sound rings out. Mitsuhiko realizes that the noise is coming from a squeeze-toy horn being used in place of a regular doorbell, a crucial auditory detail that is caught by Conan.<br /> <br /> Conan has a sudden breakthrough, declaring that he has completely figured out the culprit's deception and method. He takes immediate charge, instructing Ayumi to go call Inspector Megure while ordering Mitsuhiko and Genta to sprint over and stop the tow truck from moving the vehicle. As the children rush off to carry out their tasks, Conan concludes that only one specific person could have orchestrated this setup, confidently identifying them in his mind as the true killer.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt; Conan halts the towing of the vehicle by declaring it critical evidence, explaining to a confused Inspector Meguire and the suspect, Shozo Mimiraki, that the car was actively used to commit the murder. Conan directly accuses '''Shozo Mimiraki''' as the killer and asks the inspector if he is familiar with cardboard box air cannons, explaining how striking a box with a round hole shoots out a compressed ring of air. He reveals that the killer used this exact scientific principle to launch lethal toxic gas at the victim. Mimiraki frantically dismisses the accusation as nonsense, arguing that a cardboard air cannon's range is restricted to a mere four or five meters, which makes it impossible to bridge the tunnel's massive 20-meter distance.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that Mr. Mimiraki achieved the required 20-meter range by turning the vehicle itself into a massive air cannon. Ayumi presents a roundly cut-out piece of cardboard found outside Mimiraki's office, which Conan demonstrates fits the car's window perfectly to form the weapon's nozzle. Conan reveals that Mimiraki filled the car's interior with toxic gas ahead of time and strategically positioned the window to face the tunnel's entrance.

However, Mimiraki reveals his furious motive: the moment Hiruta's father passed away, Hiruta completely disregarded his father’s legacy and put the factory up for sale solely because it was no longer profitable, driving a resentful Mimiraki to murder him out of absolute betrayal.

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informsp the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hydrogen cyanide poisoning <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Shozo Mimiraki and the homeless man<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and Inspector Meguire arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory. While the inspector concludes that leaking gas must have filled the tunnel earlier when Tsuyoshi Hiruta emerged agonizing in pain, the gas utility workers firmly protest, insisting they completed their repair construction work perfectly. Conan remains completely silent and deeply skeptical of the official theory as he analyzes the details, just as another officer suddenly brings forward a suspicious, bearded man caught loitering in front of the tunnel entrance.<br /> <br /> The bearded suspect loudly protests his innocence, but before the inspector can question him, Amy frantically interrupts to declare that the tragedy is actually a curse from the tunnel. As the inspector questions her claim and Conan looks on silently, Amy terrifiedly explains that the area used to be an ancient graveyard torn down to make a national highway, and they dug right through where bones were buried to build the tunnel. Mitsuhiko tries to calm her down, but she tearfully insists that the supernatural curse is absolutely real.<br /> <br /> Conan silently rejects the childish ghost stories, but the grim reality he uncovers is far more terrifying than any supernatural curse: this was a calculated, cold-blooded execution. The crime scene defies all logic, leaving a chilling paradox because the helpless victim was completely alone, trapped inside the claustrophobic darkness of the tunnel with no visible attacker in sight when he drew his final, agonized breath. As the shadows stretch over the lifeless body, a disturbing question lingers in the air like a nightmare—how could unseen forces brutally murder a man from afar without ever leaving a trace?<br /> <br /> === File 2 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> In this continuation of the investigation, Inspector Meguire questions Mimiraki, confirming that the deceased victim, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, was indeed the president of his company. The focus of the investigation quickly shifts to the physical cause of death as they discuss the possibility of a gas leak inside the tunnel. However, an onsite gas company worker explicitly refutes this theory, confirming that they performed the construction work perfectly and pointing out that modern city gas is natural gas, which is non-toxic and wouldn't cause someone to drop dead from simply inhaling it. This revelation leaves the police force and Conan back at square one, ruling out a simple environmental accident. <br /> <br /> A forensic worker reveals that the victim's vomit carries a distinct almond scent, confirming the true cause of death as hydrogen cyanide poisoning. A mere 50 milligrams of this fast-acting, deadly toxin can instantly induce cardiac arrest, adding truth to Conan’s internal statement that Tsuyoshi Hiruta was deliberately murdered with terrifying precision.<br /> <br /> The investigation shifts toward a homeless man living in the park near the tunnel, who aggressively defends himself by claiming he stayed outside due to the scheduled gas leak maintenance. The kids notice he is the same homeless man from before. Although Inspector Joseph Meguire notes that hydrogen cyanide is a highly restricted substance that a typical citizen or a homeless individual could not easily acquire, Conan remains observant as the police struggle to pinpoint how such a lethal poison was surreptitiously administered.<br /> <br /> Hydrogen cyanide is a volatile, colorless chemical agent with a deceptively faint scent of bitter almonds, first isolated in 1782 by chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele from the pigment Prussian blue. (Scheele is also known in the streets at the inventor of Scheele’s Green). It acts as a swift cellular asphyxiant by binding to mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme essential for cellular energy production. By disrupting this biological process, it prevents the body from utilizing oxygen at a cellular level, even when oxygen is present in the bloodstream. The central nervous system and the heart, which have the highest oxygen requirements, are particularly sensitive to these effects. Its toxicity is extreme and rapid: inhalation of concentrated vapors can trigger immediate respiratory distress, neurological symptoms, and cardiovascular collapse.<br /> <br /> Inside a 20-meter tunnel ideal for murder due to low foot traffic, Conan questions why the culprit chose a location where they risked being easily caught by anyone entering from the outside. Nearby, a company representative expresses relief that an illegally parked car is being towed, noting it caused major trouble in front of their building. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko point out how strange and relaxed the gentleman seems, finding it highly suspicious that he is fussing over parking logistics immediately after his company's president has died. Conan quickly takes note of this odd behavior, agreeing that his misplaced priorities are incredibly unnatural.<br /> <br /> Conan notices that the car window, which was closed moments ago, is now open, prompting him to wonder if the owner briefly returned or if someone else tampered with it for a specific reason. He then spots a brand-new dent on the vehicle's door that definitely was not there before, heightening his suspicion. While Ayumi and Genta comment on how the illegally parked car is a dangerous nuisance and feel bad for the owner, a sudden squeaking sound rings out. Mitsuhiko realizes that the noise is coming from a squeeze-toy horn being used in place of a regular doorbell, a crucial auditory detail that is caught by Conan.<br /> <br /> Conan has a sudden breakthrough, declaring that he has completely figured out the culprit's deception and method. He takes immediate charge, instructing Ayumi to go call Inspector Megure while ordering Mitsuhiko and Genta to sprint over and stop the tow truck from moving the vehicle. As the children rush off to carry out their tasks, Conan concludes that only one specific person could have orchestrated this setup, confidently identifying them in his mind as the true killer.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt; Conan halts the towing of the vehicle by declaring it critical evidence, explaining to a confused Inspector Meguire and the suspect, Shozo Mimiraki, that the car was actively used to commit the murder. Conan directly accuses '''Shozo Mimiraki''' as the killer and asks the inspector if he is familiar with cardboard box air cannons, explaining how striking a box with a round hole shoots out a compressed ring of air. He reveals that the killer used this exact scientific principle to launch lethal toxic gas at the victim. Mimiraki frantically dismisses the accusation as nonsense, arguing that a cardboard air cannon's range is restricted to a mere four or five meters, which makes it impossible to bridge the tunnel's massive 20-meter distance.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that Mr. Mimiraki achieved the required 20-meter range by turning the vehicle itself into a massive air cannon. Ayumi presents a roundly cut-out piece of cardboard found outside Mimiraki's office, which Conan demonstrates fits the car's window perfectly to form the weapon's nozzle. Conan reveals that Mimiraki filled the car's interior with toxic gas ahead of time and strategically positioned the window to face the tunnel's entrance. The moment the president stepped inside, Mimiraki delivered a powerful kick to the vehicle's exterior—leaving behind the fresh, noticeable dent—which forcefully compressed the cabin air and launched a high-velocity vortex of lethal gas straight at the unsuspecting victim.<br /> <br /> Mimiraki didn't just kick a car door. He completely sealed the cabin's vents, transforming the vehicle's interior into a pressurized plenum chamber equipped with a spring-loaded mechanical piston. By mixing the volatile hydrogen cyanide with a dense, aerosolized smoke carrier, he gave the gas the physical mass it needed to survive the trip. When he tripped the external release, the piston slammed inward, launching a perfectly stable, heavy toroidal vortex straight down the corridor. The confined walls of the tunnel acted like a rifle barrel, guiding the invisible, poison-laden ring directly into the victim's path before it could ever dilute into the surrounding air. Thereby the victim Tsuyoshi, with all his resentment and hatred in the world, never saw an invisible cloud of hydrogen cyanide heading his way. He took a full carload of the substance and before he even processed the danger, he was already clutching his chest and was murdered in less than a minute.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that the air cannon works by trapping the poison inside a high-velocity, tornado-like vortex ring that immediately incapacitates anyone it hits. When a panicked Inspector Megure worries about lingering toxic fumes, Conan reassures him that the suspect used a stolen car and deliberately left the window rolled down to ventilate the cabin before the tow truck could clear the scene. Conan then drops the definitive piece of evidence: Mimiraki’s factory manufactures plating sprayers, meaning he has direct, unmonitored workplace access to the hydrogen cyanide used in the electroplating process, leaving the killer completely speechless.<br /> <br /> Mr. Mimiraki breaks down and confesses, explaining that he co-founded the company with Hiruta's late father out of a shared, lifelong passion for vinyl records and a desire to build the world's finest record players for nostalgic collectors. Inspector Megure empathizes, agreeing that everyone has music tied to deeply personal memories. However, Mimiraki reveals his furious motive: the moment Hiruta's father passed away, Hiruta completely disregarded his father’s legacy and put the factory up for sale solely because it was no longer profitable, driving a resentful Mimiraki to murder him out of absolute betrayal. <br /> <br /> Richard enthusiastically claims that vinyl records contain far more auditory data than CDs, boasting that his new record player will finally allow him to hear every hidden sound. While Conan skeptically notes that fully capturing that detail isn't so simple, Rachel enjoys the music, remarking on its beautiful quality. This prompts Conan to reflect on how music brings back old memories, which leads a nostalgic Rachel to warmly reveal that the song currently playing is the exact one from her very first cafe date with Jimmy.<br /> <br /> The gentle, nostalgic melody of the vinyl record fills the quiet room, weaving a bridge between the present and a cherished yesterday. Rachel closes her eyes with a soft smile, entirely lost in the warmth of her memories, completely unaware that the boy standing right beside her is the very person she is longing for. As Conan watches her, his usual analytical mind falls silent, replaced by a quiet, bittersweet tenderness. He realizes that even though he cannot stand before her as Jimmy right now, the music has closed the distance between them, proving that the bond they share is entirely untouched by time or distance. For just a moment, as the song spins on the vintage player, they are together again on their very first date, bound by a wonderful sound that remembers what the heart could never forget. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraki|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old<br /> * Sound and Phonetics Expert}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hydrogen cyanide poisoning <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Shozo Mimiraki and the homeless man<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and Inspector Meguire arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory. While the inspector concludes that leaking gas must have filled the tunnel earlier when Tsuyoshi Hiruta emerged agonizing in pain, the gas utility workers firmly protest, insisting they completed their repair construction work perfectly. Conan remains completely silent and deeply skeptical of the official theory as he analyzes the details, just as another officer suddenly brings forward a suspicious, bearded man caught loitering in front of the tunnel entrance.<br /> <br /> The bearded suspect loudly protests his innocence, but before the inspector can question him, Amy frantically interrupts to declare that the tragedy is actually a curse from the tunnel. As the inspector questions her claim and Conan looks on silently, Amy terrifiedly explains that the area used to be an ancient graveyard torn down to make a national highway, and they dug right through where bones were buried to build the tunnel. Mitsuhiko tries to calm her down, but she tearfully insists that the supernatural curse is absolutely real.<br /> <br /> Conan silently rejects the childish ghost stories, but the grim reality he uncovers is far more terrifying than any supernatural curse: this was a calculated, cold-blooded execution. The crime scene defies all logic, leaving a chilling paradox because the helpless victim was completely alone, trapped inside the claustrophobic darkness of the tunnel with no visible attacker in sight when he drew his final, agonized breath. As the shadows stretch over the lifeless body, a disturbing question lingers in the air like a nightmare—how could unseen forces brutally murder a man from afar without ever leaving a trace?<br /> <br /> === File 2 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> In this continuation of the investigation, Inspector Meguire questions Mimiraki, confirming that the deceased victim, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, was indeed the president of his company. The focus of the investigation quickly shifts to the physical cause of death as they discuss the possibility of a gas leak inside the tunnel. However, an onsite gas company worker explicitly refutes this theory, confirming that they performed the construction work perfectly and pointing out that modern city gas is natural gas, which is non-toxic and wouldn't cause someone to drop dead from simply inhaling it. This revelation leaves the police force and Conan back at square one, ruling out a simple environmental accident. <br /> <br /> A forensic worker reveals that the victim's vomit carries a distinct almond scent, confirming the true cause of death as hydrogen cyanide poisoning. A mere 50 milligrams of this fast-acting, deadly toxin can instantly induce cardiac arrest, adding truth to Conan’s internal statement that Tsuyoshi Hiruta was deliberately murdered with terrifying precision.<br /> <br /> The investigation shifts toward a homeless man living in the park near the tunnel, who aggressively defends himself by claiming he stayed outside due to the scheduled gas leak maintenance. The kids notice he is the same homeless man from before. Although Inspector Joseph Meguire notes that hydrogen cyanide is a highly restricted substance that a typical citizen or a homeless individual could not easily acquire, Conan remains observant as the police struggle to pinpoint how such a lethal poison was surreptitiously administered.<br /> <br /> Hydrogen cyanide is a volatile, colorless chemical agent with a deceptively faint scent of bitter almonds, first isolated in 1782 by chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele from the pigment Prussian blue. (Scheele is also known in the streets at the inventor of Scheele’s Green). It acts as a swift cellular asphyxiant by binding to mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme essential for cellular energy production. By disrupting this biological process, it prevents the body from utilizing oxygen at a cellular level, even when oxygen is present in the bloodstream. The central nervous system and the heart, which have the highest oxygen requirements, are particularly sensitive to these effects. Its toxicity is extreme and rapid: inhalation of concentrated vapors can trigger immediate respiratory distress, neurological symptoms, and cardiovascular collapse.<br /> <br /> Inside a 20-meter tunnel ideal for murder due to low foot traffic, Conan questions why the culprit chose a location where they risked being easily caught by anyone entering from the outside. Nearby, a company representative expresses relief that an illegally parked car is being towed, noting it caused major trouble in front of their building. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko point out how strange and relaxed the gentleman seems, finding it highly suspicious that he is fussing over parking logistics immediately after his company's president has died. Conan quickly takes note of this odd behavior, agreeing that his misplaced priorities are incredibly unnatural.<br /> <br /> Conan notices that the car window, which was closed moments ago, is now open, prompting him to wonder if the owner briefly returned or if someone else tampered with it for a specific reason. He then spots a brand-new dent on the vehicle's door that definitely was not there before, heightening his suspicion. While Ayumi and Genta comment on how the illegally parked car is a dangerous nuisance and feel bad for the owner, a sudden squeaking sound rings out. Mitsuhiko realizes that the noise is coming from a squeeze-toy horn being used in place of a regular doorbell, a crucial auditory detail that is caught by Conan.<br /> <br /> Conan has a sudden breakthrough, declaring that he has completely figured out the culprit's deception and method. He takes immediate charge, instructing Ayumi to go call Inspector Megure while ordering Mitsuhiko and Genta to sprint over and stop the tow truck from moving the vehicle. As the children rush off to carry out their tasks, Conan concludes that only one specific person could have orchestrated this setup, confidently identifying them in his mind as the true killer.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt; Conan halts the towing of the vehicle by declaring it critical evidence, explaining to a confused Inspector Meguire and the suspect, Shozo Mimiraki, that the car was actively used to commit the murder. Conan directly accuses '''Shozo Mimiraki''' as the killer and asks the inspector if he is familiar with cardboard box air cannons, explaining how striking a box with a round hole shoots out a compressed ring of air. He reveals that the killer used this exact scientific principle to launch lethal toxic gas at the victim. Mimiraki frantically dismisses the accusation as nonsense, arguing that a cardboard air cannon's range is restricted to a mere four or five meters, which makes it impossible to bridge the tunnel's massive 20-meter distance.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that Mr. Mimiraki achieved the required 20-meter range by turning the vehicle itself into a massive air cannon. Ayumi presents a roundly cut-out piece of cardboard found outside Mimiraki's office, which Conan demonstrates fits the car's window perfectly to form the weapon's nozzle. Conan reveals that Mimiraki filled the car's interior with toxic gas ahead of time and strategically positioned the window to face the tunnel's entrance. The moment the president stepped inside, Mimiraki delivered a powerful kick to the vehicle's exterior—leaving behind the fresh, noticeable dent—which forcefully compressed the cabin air and launched a high-velocity vortex of lethal gas straight at the unsuspecting victim.<br /> <br /> Mimiraki didn't just kick a car door. He completely sealed the cabin's vents, transforming the vehicle's interior into a pressurized plenum chamber equipped with a spring-loaded mechanical piston. By mixing the volatile hydrogen cyanide with a dense, aerosolized smoke carrier, he gave the gas the physical mass it needed to survive the trip. When he tripped the external release, the piston slammed inward, launching a perfectly stable, heavy toroidal vortex straight down the corridor. The confined walls of the tunnel acted like a rifle barrel, guiding the invisible, poison-laden ring directly into the victim's path before it could ever dilute into the surrounding air. Thereby the victim Tsuyoshi, with all his resentment and hatred in the world, never saw an invisible cloud of hydrogen cyanide heading his way. He took a full carload of the substance and before he even processed the danger, he was already clutching his chest and was murdered in less than a minute.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that the air cannon works by trapping the poison inside a high-velocity, tornado-like vortex ring that immediately incapacitates anyone it hits. When a panicked Inspector Megure worries about lingering toxic fumes, Conan reassures him that the suspect used a stolen car and deliberately left the window rolled down to ventilate the cabin before the tow truck could clear the scene. Conan then drops the definitive piece of evidence: Mimiraki’s factory manufactures plating sprayers, meaning he has direct, unmonitored workplace access to the hydrogen cyanide used in the electroplating process, leaving the killer completely speechless.<br /> <br /> Mr. Mimiraki breaks down and confesses, explaining that he co-founded the company with Hiruta's late father out of a shared, lifelong passion for vinyl records and a desire to build the world's finest record players for nostalgic collectors. Inspector Megure empathizes, agreeing that everyone has music tied to deeply personal memories. However, Mimiraki reveals his furious motive: the moment Hiruta's father passed away, Hiruta completely disregarded his father’s legacy and put the factory up for sale solely because it was no longer profitable, driving a resentful Mimiraki to murder him out of absolute betrayal. <br /> <br /> Richard enthusiastically claims that vinyl records contain far more auditory data than CDs, boasting that his new record player will finally allow him to hear every hidden sound. While Conan skeptically notes that fully capturing that detail isn't so simple, Rachel enjoys the music, remarking on its beautiful quality. This prompts Conan to reflect on how music brings back old memories, which leads a nostalgic Rachel to warmly reveal that the song currently playing is the exact one from her very first cafe date with Jimmy.<br /> <br /> The gentle, nostalgic melody of the vinyl record fills the quiet room, weaving a bridge between the present and a cherished yesterday. Rachel closes her eyes with a soft smile, entirely lost in the warmth of her memories, completely unaware that the boy standing right beside her is the very person she is longing for. As Conan watches her, his usual analytical mind falls silent, replaced by a quiet, bittersweet tenderness. He realizes that even though he cannot stand before her as Jimmy right now, the music has closed the distance between them, proving that the bond they share is entirely untouched by time or distance. For just a moment, as the song spins on the vintage player, they are together again on their very first date, bound by a wonderful sound that remembers what the heart could never forget. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraki|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informsp the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hydrogen cyanide poisoning <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Shozo Mimiraki and the homeless man<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and Inspector Meguire arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory.

Inspector Megure empathizes, agreeing that everyone has music tied to deeply personal memories. However, Mimiraki reveals his furious motive: the moment Hiruta's father passed away, Hiruta completely disregarded his father’s legacy and put the factory up for sale solely because it was no longer profitable, driving a resentful Mimiraki to murder him out of absolute betrayal. <br /> <br /> Richard enthusiastically claims that vinyl records contain far more auditory data than CDs, boasting that his new record player will finally allow him to hear every hidden sound. While Conan skeptically notes that fully capturing that detail isn't so simple, Rachel enjoys the music, remarking on its beautiful quality. This prompts Conan to reflect on how music brings back old memories, which leads a nostalgic Rachel to warmly reveal that the song currently playing is the exact one from her very first cafe date with Jimmy.<br /> <br /> The gentle, nostalgic melody of the vinyl record fills the quiet room, weaving a bridge between the present and a cherished yesterday. Rachel closes her eyes with a soft smile, entirely lost in the warmth of her memories, completely unaware that the boy standing right beside her is the very person she is longing for. As Conan watches her, his usual analytical mind falls silent, replaced by a quiet, bittersweet tenderness. He realizes that even though he cannot stand before her as Jimmy right now, the music has closed the distance between them, proving that the bond they share is entirely untouched by time or distance. For just a moment, as the song spins on the vintage player, they are together again on their very first date, bound by a wonderful sound that remembers what the heart could never forget. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraku|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informsp the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hydrogen cyanide poisoning <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Shozo Mimiraki and the homeless man<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and Inspector Meguire arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory. While the inspector concludes that leaking gas must have filled the tunnel earlier when Tsuyoshi Hiruta emerged agonizing in pain, the gas utility workers firmly protest, insisting they completed their repair construction work perfectly. Conan remains completely silent and deeply skeptical of the official theory as he analyzes the details, just as another officer suddenly brings forward a suspicious, bearded man caught loitering in front of the tunnel entrance.<br /> <br /> The bearded suspect loudly protests his innocence, but before the inspector can question him, Amy frantically interrupts to declare that the tragedy is actually a curse from the tunnel. As the inspector questions her claim and Conan looks on silently, Amy terrifiedly explains that the area used to be an ancient graveyard torn down to make a national highway, and they dug right through where bones were buried to build the tunnel. Mitsuhiko tries to calm her down, but she tearfully insists that the supernatural curse is absolutely real.<br /> <br /> Conan silently rejects the childish ghost stories, but the grim reality he uncovers is far more terrifying than any supernatural curse: this was a calculated, cold-blooded execution. The crime scene defies all logic, leaving a chilling paradox because the helpless victim was completely alone, trapped inside the claustrophobic darkness of the tunnel with no visible attacker in sight when he drew his final, agonized breath. As the shadows stretch over the lifeless body, a disturbing question lingers in the air like a nightmare—how could unseen forces brutally murder a man from afar without ever leaving a trace?<br /> <br /> === File 2 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> In this continuation of the investigation, Inspector Joseph Meguire questions the elderly gentleman, confirming that the deceased victim, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, was indeed the president of his company. The focus of the investigation quickly shifts to the physical cause of death as they discuss the possibility of a gas leak inside the tunnel. However, an onsite gas company worker explicitly refutes this theory, confirming that they performed the construction work perfectly and pointing out that modern city gas is natural gas, which is non-toxic and wouldn't cause someone to drop dead from simply inhaling it. This revelation leaves the police force and Conan back at square one, ruling out a simple environmental accident. <br /> <br /> A forensic worker reveals that the victim's vomit carries a distinct almond scent, confirming the true cause of death as hydrogen cyanide poisoning. A mere 50 milligrams of this fast-acting, deadly toxin can instantly induce cardiac arrest, adding truth to Conan’s internal statement that Tsuyoshi Hiruta was deliberately murdered with terrifying precision.<br /> <br /> The investigation shifts toward a homeless man living in the park near the tunnel, who aggressively defends himself by claiming he stayed outside due to the scheduled gas leak maintenance. The kids notice he is the same homeless man from before. Although Inspector Joseph Meguire notes that hydrogen cyanide is a highly restricted substance that a typical citizen or a homeless individual could not easily acquire, Conan remains observant as the police struggle to pinpoint how such a lethal poison was surreptitiously administered.<br /> <br /> Hydrogen cyanide is a volatile, colorless chemical agent with a deceptively faint scent of bitter almonds, first isolated in 1782 by chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele from the pigment Prussian blue. (Scheele is also known in the streets at the inventor of Scheele’s Green). It acts as a swift cellular asphyxiant by binding to mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, an enzyme essential for cellular energy production. By disrupting this biological process, it prevents the body from utilizing oxygen at a cellular level, even when oxygen is present in the bloodstream. The central nervous system and the heart, which have the highest oxygen requirements, are particularly sensitive to these effects. Its toxicity is extreme and rapid: inhalation of concentrated vapors can trigger immediate respiratory distress, neurological symptoms, and cardiovascular collapse.<br /> <br /> Inside a 20-meter tunnel ideal for murder due to low foot traffic, Conan questions why the culprit chose a location where they risked being easily caught by anyone entering from the outside. Nearby, a company representative expresses relief that an illegally parked car is being towed, noting it caused major trouble in front of their building. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko point out how strange and relaxed the gentleman seems, finding it highly suspicious that he is fussing over parking logistics immediately after his company's president has died. Conan quickly takes note of this odd behavior, agreeing that his misplaced priorities are incredibly unnatural.<br /> <br /> Conan notices that the car window, which was closed moments ago, is now open, prompting him to wonder if the owner briefly returned or if someone else tampered with it for a specific reason. He then spots a brand-new dent on the vehicle's door that definitely was not there before, heightening his suspicion. While Ayumi and Genta comment on how the illegally parked car is a dangerous nuisance and feel bad for the owner, a sudden squeaking sound rings out. Mitsuhiko realizes that the noise is coming from a squeeze-toy horn being used in place of a regular doorbell, a crucial auditory detail that is caught by Conan.<br /> <br /> Conan has a sudden breakthrough, declaring that he has completely figured out the culprit's deception and method. He takes immediate charge, instructing Ayumi to go call Inspector Megure while ordering Mitsuhiko and Genta to sprint over and stop the tow truck from moving the vehicle. As the children rush off to carry out their tasks, Conan concludes that only one specific person could have orchestrated this setup, confidently identifying them in his mind as the true killer.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt; Conan halts the towing of the vehicle by declaring it critical evidence, explaining to a confused Inspector Megure and the suspect, Mr. Mimiraki, that the car was actively used to commit the murder. Conan directly accuses Shozo Mimiraki as the killer and asks the inspector if he is familiar with cardboard box air cannons, explaining how striking a box with a round hole shoots out a compressed ring of air. He reveals that the killer used this exact scientific principle to launch lethal toxic gas at the victim. Mimiraki frantically dismisses the accusation as nonsense, arguing that a cardboard air cannon's range is restricted to a mere four or five meters, which makes it impossible to bridge the tunnel's massive 20-meter distance.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that Mr. Mimiraki achieved the required 20-meter range by turning the vehicle itself into a massive air cannon. Ayumi presents a roundly cut-out piece of cardboard found outside Mimiraki's office, which Conan demonstrates fits the car's window perfectly to form the weapon's nozzle. Conan reveals that Mimiraki filled the car's interior with toxic gas ahead of time and strategically positioned the window to face the tunnel's entrance. The moment the president stepped inside, Mimiraki delivered a powerful kick to the vehicle's exterior—leaving behind the fresh, noticeable dent—which forcefully compressed the cabin air and launched a high-velocity vortex of lethal gas straight at the unsuspecting victim.<br /> <br /> Mimiraki didn't just kick a car door. He completely sealed the cabin's vents, transforming the vehicle's interior into a pressurized plenum chamber equipped with a spring-loaded mechanical piston. By mixing the volatile hydrogen cyanide with a dense, aerosolized smoke carrier, he gave the gas the physical mass it needed to survive the trip. When he tripped the external release, the piston slammed inward, launching a perfectly stable, heavy toroidal vortex straight down the corridor. The confined walls of the tunnel acted like a rifle barrel, guiding the invisible, poison-laden ring directly into the victim's path before it could ever dilute into the surrounding air. Thereby the victim Tsuyoshi, with all his resentment and hatred in the world, never saw an invisible cloud of hydrogen cyanide heading his way. He took a full carload of the substance and before he even processed the danger, he was already clutching his chest and was murdered in less than a minute.<br /> <br /> Conan explains that the air cannon works by trapping the poison inside a high-velocity, tornado-like vortex ring that immediately incapacitates anyone it hits. When a panicked Inspector Megure worries about lingering toxic fumes, Conan reassures him that the suspect used a stolen car and deliberately left the window rolled down to ventilate the cabin before the tow truck could clear the scene. Conan then drops the definitive piece of evidence: Mimiraki’s factory manufactures plating sprayers, meaning he has direct, unmonitored workplace access to the hydrogen cyanide used in the electroplating process, leaving the killer completely speechless.<br /> <br /> Mr. Mimiraki breaks down and confesses, explaining that he co-founded the company with Hiruta's late father out of a shared, lifelong passion for vinyl records and a desire to build the world's finest record players for nostalgic collectors. Inspector Megure empathizes, agreeing that everyone has music tied to deeply personal memories. However, Mimiraki reveals his furious motive: the moment Hiruta's father passed away, Hiruta completely disregarded his father’s legacy and put the factory up for sale solely because it was no longer profitable, driving a resentful Mimiraki to murder him out of absolute betrayal. <br /> <br /> Richard enthusiastically claims that vinyl records contain far more auditory data than CDs, boasting that his new record player will finally allow him to hear every hidden sound. While Conan skeptically notes that fully capturing that detail isn't so simple, Rachel enjoys the music, remarking on its beautiful quality. This prompts Conan to reflect on how music brings back old memories, which leads a nostalgic Rachel to warmly reveal that the song currently playing is the exact one from her very first cafe date with Jimmy.<br /> <br /> The gentle, nostalgic melody of the vinyl record fills the quiet room, weaving a bridge between the present and a cherished yesterday. Rachel closes her eyes with a soft smile, entirely lost in the warmth of her memories, completely unaware that the boy standing right beside her is the very person she is longing for. As Conan watches her, his usual analytical mind falls silent, replaced by a quiet, bittersweet tenderness. He realizes that even though he cannot stand before her as Jimmy right now, the music has closed the distance between them, proving that the bond they share is entirely untouched by time or distance. For just a moment, as the song spins on the vintage player, they are together again on their very first date, bound by a wonderful sound that remembers what the heart could never forget. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraku|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informsp the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Hydrogen cyanide poisoning <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Shozo Mimiraki and the homeless man<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and Inspector Meguire arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory.

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informsp the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Accident?<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Unknown <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Unknown<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and inspector arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory.

As the children rush off to carry out their tasks, Conan concludes that only one specific person could have orchestrated this setup, confidently identifying them in his mind as the true killer.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraku|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

Mitch stops the group, remembering that the tunnel is reportedly haunted and a ghost regularly appears. While true, Amy suggests walking the sidewalk along the National Highway; it’s safer, in open public space, and more lighting. George refuses to listen, believing they are wasting time and tries to cut through the tunnel anyway. <br /> <br /> Before George can step a foot inside, a shadowy figure walks up to him, catching the kids off guard and having them cower in fear with their hands over their heads. The figure turns out to be a harmless homeless man aimlessly wandering around for food and scraps. Conan recognizes the man, stating he has taken up residence with a mattress inside the tunnel. Amy’s suggestion turns out to be correct with her asking George if it wasn’t just a homeless man next time. During the conversation, a man named Shozo Mimiraki informsp the children that passing through the area is off limits as there is a gas leak present. The homeless man disappears in the distance. <br /> <br /> Conan notices Shozo carrying a rare record player while George insists on leaving and using the tunnel, but construction inside has already started, though no road workers are present. With the equipment and construction scattered inside the tunnel, it will take an hour to walk through. Amy points out a raffle lottery that the kids would like to participate in but worry Behind Conan comes Tsuyoshi Hiruta, an acquaintance of Shozo, making a thunderous appearance. Tsuyoshi demands to know whose car is parked blocking his office and threatens to call a tow truck to have the car removed. <br /> <br /> Upon reaching reaching the lottery venue for the drawing, the Detective Boys are upset to see the drawing over and done with. Genta throws his ticket away in frustration but Conan objects to it. Nearby is the &quot;9th Record Appreciation Event” with an antique record player is playing music. Ayumi handles the record and Genta grabs it, attempting to eat after mistaking it for chocolate. Walking deeper into the store, they come across Shozo, the man from earlier. Shozo explains that even music can come out of plastic, revealing himself as a sound and phonetic expert, a professional who studies the physical properties of human speech sounds, acoustic signals, and how sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived. Key subfields and applications include acoustic analysis, forensic speech examination, and speech technology development. Shozo Mimiraki is showing the kids a handmade device that records and plays back sound using a paper cup and a phonograph needle. Specifically, he demonstrates how sound vibrations can be physically carved into and played back from a non-electronic, everyday medium like paper.<br /> <br /> Shozo explains that the brains hear sound when air vibrations hit the eardrums, sharing that he studies these vibrations day and night to bring beautiful music to everyone. Amy compares him to Thomas Edison inventing the phonograph, though she insists that modern CDs must have the best sound. However, once the music plays, the kids are completely amazed by the record player, with Genta and Mitsuhiko noting that the impact is way better than a CD because you can perfectly hear every single instrument in the orchestra. Amy points out that the music has a completely different depth that is loud yet incredibly gentle, while Conan agrees with the final realization that vinyl records have a warm, welcoming sound, whereas CDs feel powerful but sharp and cold.<br /> <br /> When Mitsuhiko and Amy ask why Shozo Mimiraki’s incredible record players aren't selling well, the angry president, Tsuyoshi Hiruta, suddenly bursts in and demands they shut off the music. Hiruta furiously yells that they have completely lost the market to small, cheap, and lightweight CDs, pointing out that nobody would ever carry such a massive machine just to listen to music on a train. He complains that despite giving Mimiraki a week to make a sale, the only audience he managed to attract is a bunch of kids who could never afford an instrument worth hundreds of thousands of yen. Hiruta completely cancels the public demonstration and orders them to pack up immediately, prompting Conan, Mitsuhiko, and Genta to scramble so they can at least finish doing their lottery drawing before they have to leave.<br /> <br /> Tsuyoshi, having grown fed up with the car due to the tow truck not come and move it, decides to walk through the pedestrian-only tunnel, completely ignoring the children’s pleads not to. Only a few steps insidet, Tsuyoshi notices that he isn’t breathing anymore. He desperately clutches his check and neck. George, Amy, and Mitch attempt to rush in but Tsuyoshi throw his hand out, signaling them to stop, lets out a loud scream that echoes throughout the tunnel, collapses on the floor, and tragically passes away. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Accident?<br /> | image = Tsuyoshi_dies.jpeg<br /> | location = Pedestrian-only Tunnel<br /> | victim = Tsuyoshi Hiruta<br /> | age = 47 years old<br /> | cause-death = Unknown <br /> | time of death = Unknown<br /> | suspects = Unknown<br /> | description = After walking just a short distance into the tunnel, Tsuyoshi clutches his throat, falls to the ground, and dies.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> When the police and inspector arrive at the scene, an officer wearing a gas mask confirms that no gas is actually being detected inside the tunnel, casting serious doubt on the initial accident theory. While the inspector concludes that leaking gas must have filled the tunnel earlier when Tsuyoshi Hiruta emerged agonizing in pain, the gas utility workers firmly protest, insisting they completed their repair construction work perfectly. Conan remains completely silent and deeply skeptical of the official theory as he analyzes the details, just as another officer suddenly brings forward a suspicious, bearded man caught loitering in front of the tunnel entrance.<br /> <br /> The bearded suspect loudly protests his innocence, but before the inspector can question him, Amy frantically interrupts to declare that the tragedy is actually a curse from the tunnel. As the inspector questions her claim and Conan looks on silently, Amy terrifiedly explains that the area used to be an ancient graveyard torn down to make a national highway, and they dug right through where bones were buried to build the tunnel. Mitsuhiko tries to calm her down, but she tearfully insists that the supernatural curse is absolutely real.<br /> <br /> Conan silently rejects the childish ghost stories, but the grim reality he uncovers is far more terrifying than any supernatural curse: this was a calculated, cold-blooded execution. The crime scene defies all logic, leaving a chilling paradox because the helpless victim was completely alone, trapped inside the claustrophobic darkness of the tunnel with no visible attacker in sight when he drew his final, agonized breath. As the shadows stretch over the lifeless body, a disturbing question lingers in the air like a nightmare—how could an invisible monster murder a man from afar without ever leaving a trace?<br /> <br /> === File 2 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Shozo Mimiraku|ShozoSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * 72 years old}}<br /> {{People|Tsuyoshi Hiruta|TsuyoshiSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Victim (Poisoned)<br /> * 47 years old}}<br /> {{People|Man|HomelessSV20F1.jpeg|<br /> * Homeless<br /> *Tunnel Dweller<br /> }}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Eridanus's Tears ==<br /> === File 3 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 4 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Footprints Left Behind ==<br /> === File 5 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chie Kanda|Chie Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Kanda's daughter}}<br /> {{People|Kanda|Kanda.jpg|<br /> * Victim (injury)<br /> * Chie's father<br /> * Kogoro's friend<br /> * Convinence store manager}}<br /> {{People|Toshio Goto|Toshio Goto.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hit by car)}}<br /> {{People|[[Minor law enforcement#Detective Tsukita|Detective Tsukita]]|Detective Tsukita.jpg|<br /> * Police Investigator}}<br /> {{People|Rumiko Imaeda|Rumiko Imaeda.jpg|<br /> * 19 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Shingo Takahashi|Shingo Takahashi.jpg|<br /> * 23 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Keisuke Matsubara|Keisuke Matsubara.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{People|Yuzo Kawano|Yuzo Kawano.jpg|<br /> * 45 years old<br /> * Suspect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Missing Cameo and the Time of the Crime ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Keizo Uozumi|Keizo Uozumi.jpg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * Exhibition owner}}<br /> {{People|Hajime Momofude|Hajime Momofude.jpg|<br /> * 71 years old<br /> * Host}}<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == False Accusation: Innocent of the Crime ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Mystery of the Missing Submarine and Ruins ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20hkcw.jpg|144px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20k.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cw.jpg|155px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special20v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 20 (Short Stories)]]</div>

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud terrifying scream interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo trembling in fear outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood, his milky white soulless eyes staring at both Endo and Hiromi. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Exsanguination via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is exsanguination, the medical term for blood loss, due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover. Committing the slaughter this way, the killer successfully fooled everyone into thinking Haruki held onto some make-believe bomb or drank an overly superconductive explosive liquid compound that snuck into his system, thereby sending investigators on a wild goose chase for typical bomb fragments and run analysis tests for foreign chemicals that would never be found. In a twisted sense of humor, Haruki ''was'' the bomb.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protection. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that what he has done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved. <br /> <br /> He looks at Endo and Hiromi, who remind him so much of himself in his younger years, ready and full of life to jump into the world of science. Ezaki never actually intended to have witnesses to his crime because he knew what a monstrously gruesome site awaited once the elevator doors opened. Instead of lashing out at them because it was their actions that added to his downfall, he apologizes for the trauma he inflicted on them. He could have used legal connections and had Haruki investigated and prosecuted, filed a complaint with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), but his rage blew up until, he stops and looks at the site of the elevator, where Haruki once stood.. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession with a rather deadpan emotionless face and a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends. The three savage what is left of the night, ending the story with smiles as they continue to walk down the quiet moon-kissed street.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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, some of which can be 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = IMG_0755.jpeg<br /> | location = Fumiko’s Mansion inside her bedroom<br /> | victim = Fumiko Asaka<br /> | age = <br /> | cause-death = Necrosis via unidentified poison<br /> | time of death = 3:00AM<br /> | suspects = Gennori Sugita, Seiichi Hashimoto, and Koichi Saito<br /> | description = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> 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. Inspector Meguire has his female forensic do a physical exhaustive search of Fumiko’s body to find any hidden entry points for poison while the investigation team moves outside to search for any poisonous materials, plants, animals or any venomous infested within a 5-mile radius. 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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'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. <br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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's primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.<br /> <br /> 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'''.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Some have been documented to suffer from agonizing skin lesions and their pores oozing green liquids. 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. Autopsies of victims of Scheele’s Green, reveal that even internal organs had a visible shade of green<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;The Dance of Death&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.<br /> <br /> Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer'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 &quot;everything she looked at was green&quot;. She wasn'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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Conan pauses. Everyone in the room (including Gennori, Koichi, Meguire and his team), with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. One of the maids breaks silence, screams and shouts obscenities at Seiichi, before falling to her knees in despair. Seiichi puts his hands in his pocket and grins.<br /> <br /> Seiichi claims innocence and denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. He claims his words are truthful and that only he can give permission for the police to search the inside of his palette box due to privacy laws. 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''. <br /> <br /> Because Richard is a licensed private investigator and is labeled an ordinary citizen by law, he has no legal powers or authority to invoke this powerful doctrine. Inspector Meguire, being a sworn government law enforcement officer with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, can, shall and indeed do so.<br /> <br /> Meguire was virtually powerless to do anything in regards to Seiichi’s palette box, but with this ace in effect, two things happen: one, the strict privacy laws that Seiichi cowardly hid behind no longer apply, and two, Meguire has the immediate authority to seize the box without a pre-signed warrant under the aforementioned legal doctrine. In actuality, the choice to use Exigent Circumstances didn’t appear out of nowhere: an immediate threat MUST be present and proven harmful and life-theatening. In case Seiichi is wondering, yes, the possession of lethal arsine gas in a palette box would highly likely trigger the exigent circumstances doctrine. This situation falls squarely under the public safety emergency exception due to the extreme and immediate threat the material poses to human life. Before the events of the resolution even began, there were talks between Richard and Meguire in regards to Seiichi’s palette box. After the formula and circumstances were analyzed, it made perfect sense to seize the box within the boundaries of the law, secure it, and have it taken outside. The law states that neither Richard nor Inspector Meguire are obligated to inform Seiichi that palette box was seized. 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. Meguire already has the poisonous palette box bagged, tagged, and safety waiting outside the mansion for the Fire Department Hazardous Materials Unit (HazMat) with armed forces. <br /> <br /> Seiichi grows hesitant, cautiously taking a step back, and Conan capitalizes forward, menacingly stating that Seiichi likes to choke sick defenseless women in their sleep with lethal gas, but can’t stand to face reality when the law requires him to give his life in exchange and to look himself in the mirror to face the reality of his own creation: Seiichi Hashimoto is NOT a master painter, he is a pathetic narcissistic murderer who used a banned historical toxic sludge because his feelings were hurt over his mundane drawing. 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 paintsi 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. He also feared of tying them in a garbage bag, throwing them in the woods and retrieving it later to destroy; as a precaution, the Inspector did in fact have a thorough sweep of the estate and everywhere within a 5 mile radius of it, leaving Seiichi indefinitely stuck with the “smoking gun.” 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.”<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Seiichi violently snaps, taking offense of Richard’s barrage of psychological attacks to his ego and psyche l. 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.<br /> <br /> Seiichi cruelly mocks the maids for their grief, calling their act worthless. He turns his attention to the grief stricken Rachel who is still emotionally devastated from the Scheele’s Green story. Seiichi tells Rachel, who he fully blames for his rightfully earned arrest, that he wished her bonquet of flowers died along with Fumiko. Fully consumed by his self-driven maniacal self image and narcissism, Seiichi continues to gloat, failing to realize the Inspector placing him in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan states that he knows a man of Seiichi’s caliber can’t be brought down with traditional methods, psychological warfare and torture of Seiichi’s psyche was needed in order to shatter his narcissistic armor. He has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic monster from committing more 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. <br /> <br /> 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. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Night of Fireworks, A Murder!! ==<br /> === File 6 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 7 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Missing Bride ==<br /> === File 8 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 9 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Demon's Thunder ==<br /> === File 10 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 11 - Part 2 ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;The culprit is '''Sachi Makise'''.

This put Makise in tears.<br /> <br /> Afterward Genta fully declared that he's indeed the best leader of Detective Boys which is objectioned by the rest.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Takashi Tamba|Takashi Tamba.jpg|<br /> * Victim (heart attack)<br /> * 46 years old<br /> * Science teacher}}<br /> {{People|Sachi Makise|Sati Makise.jpg|<br /> * 25 years old<br /> * Science teacher}}<br /> {{People|Saito|Saito specialvol4.jpg|<br /> * 50 years old<br /> * Head of teachers}}<br /> {{People|Wakamatsu|Wakamatsu specialvol4.jpg|<br /> * 55 years old<br /> * Principal's helper}}<br /> {{People|Yoshida|Yoshida specialvol4.jpg|<br /> * 26 years old<br /> * Gym teacher}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4bbi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia (reprint)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4i.jpg|160px|thumb|left|Italy]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4k.jpg|162px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4sp.jpg|170px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4th.jpg|164px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4bth.jpg|164px|thumb|left|Thailand (reprint)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special4v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 1-10]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 4 (Short Stories)]]</div>

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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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, some of which can be 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = IMG_0755.jpeg<br /> | location = Fumiko’s Mansion inside her bedroom<br /> | victim = Fumiko Asaka<br /> | age = <br /> | cause-death = Necrosis via unidentified poison<br /> | time of death = 3:00AM<br /> | suspects = Gennori Sugita, Seiichi Hashimoto, and Koichi Saito<br /> | description = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> 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. Inspector Meguire has his female forensic do a physical exhaustive search of Fumiko’s body to find any hidden entry points for poison while the investigation team moves outside to search for any poisonous materials, plants, animals or any venomous infested within a 5-mile radius. 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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'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. <br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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's primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.<br /> <br /> 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'''.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Some have been documented to suffer from agonizing skin lesions and their pores oozing green liquids. 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. Autopsies of victims of Scheele’s Green, reveal that even internal organs had a visible shade of green<br /> <br /> 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 &quot;The Dance of Death&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.<br /> <br /> Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer'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 &quot;everything she looked at was green&quot;. She wasn'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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Conan pauses. Everyone in the room (including Gennori, Koichi, Meguire and his team), with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. One of the maids breaks silence, screams and shouts obscenities at Seiichi, before falling to her knees in despair. Seiichi puts his hands in his pocket and grins.<br /> <br /> Seiichi claims innocence and denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. He claims his words are truthful and that only he can give permission for the police to search the inside of his palette box due to privacy laws. 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''. <br /> <br /> Because Richard is a licensed private investigator and is labeled an ordinary citizen by law, he has no legal powers or authority to invoke this powerful doctrine. Inspector Meguire, being a sworn government law enforcement officer with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, can, shall and indeed do so.<br /> <br /> Meguire was virtually powerless to do anything in regards to Seiichi’s palette box, but with this ace in effect, two things happen: one, the strict privacy laws that Seiichi cowardly hid behind no longer apply, and two, Meguire has the immediate authority to seize the box without a pre-signed warrant under the aforementioned legal doctrine. In actuality, the choice to use Exigent Circumstances didn’t appear out of nowhere: an immediate threat MUST be present and proven harmful and life-theatening. In case Seiichi is wondering, yes, the possession of lethal arsine gas in a palette box would highly likely trigger the exigent circumstances doctrine. This situation falls squarely under the public safety emergency exception due to the extreme and immediate threat the material poses to human life. Before the events of the resolution even began, there were talks between Richard and Meguire in regards to Seiichi’s palette box. After the formula and circumstances were analyzed, it made perfect sense to seize the box within the boundaries of the law, secure it, and have it taken outside. The law states that neither Richard nor Inspector Meguire are obligated to inform Seiichi that palette box was seized. 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. Meguire already has the poisonous palette box bagged, tagged, and safety waiting outside the mansion for the Fire Department Hazardous Materials Unit (HazMat) with armed forces. <br /> <br /> Seiichi grows hesitant, cautiously taking a step back, and Conan capitalizes forward, menacingly stating that Seiichi likes to choke sick defenseless women in their sleep with lethal gas, but can’t stand to face reality when the law requires him to give his life in exchange and to look himself in the mirror to face the reality of his own creation: Seiichi Hashimoto is NOT a master painter, he is a pathetic narcissistic murderer who used a banned historical toxic sludge because his feelings were hurt over his mundane drawing. 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 paintsi 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. He also feared of tying them in a garbage bag, throwing them in the woods and retrieving it later to destroy; as a precaution, the Inspector did in fact have a thorough sweep of the estate and everywhere within a 5 mile radius of it, leaving Seiichi indefinitely stuck with the “smoking gun.” 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.”<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Seiichi violently snaps, taking offense of Richard’s barrage of psychological attacks to his ego and psyche l. 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.<br /> <br /> Seiichi cruelly mocks the maids for their grief, calling their act worthless. He turns his attention to the grief stricken Rachel who is still emotionally devastated from the Scheele’s Green story. Seiichi tells Rachel, who he fully blames for his rightfully earned arrest, that he wished her bonquet of flowers died along with Fumiko. Fully consumed by his self-driven maniacal self image and narcissism, Seiichi continues to gloat, failing to realize the Inspector placing him in handcuffs and escorts him out. Conan states that he knows a man of Seiichi’s caliber can’t be brought down with traditional methods, psychological warfare and torture of Seiichi’s psyche was needed in order to shatter his narcissistic armor. He has successfully ridden the streets of another psychopathic minsters from committing more 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. <br /> <br /> 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. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Night of Fireworks, A Murder!! ==<br /> === File 6 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 7 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Missing Bride ==<br /> === File 8 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 9 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Demon's Thunder ==<br /> === File 10 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 11 - Part 2 ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;The culprit is '''Sachi Makise'''.

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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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, some of which can be 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = IMG_0755.jpeg<br /> | location = Fumiko’s Mansion inside her bedroom<br /> | victim = Fumiko Asaka<br /> | age = <br /> | cause-death = Necrosis via unidentified poison<br /> | time of death = 3:00AM<br /> | suspects = Gennori Sugita, Seiichi Hashimoto, and Koichi Saito<br /> | description = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> 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. Inspector Meguire has his female forensic do a physical exhaustive search of Fumiko’s body to find any hidden entry points for poison while the investigation team moves outside to search for any poisonous materials, plants, animals or any venomous infested within a 5-mile radius. 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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'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. <br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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's primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.<br /> <br /> 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'''.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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 &quot;The Dance of Death&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.<br /> <br /> Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer'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 &quot;everything she looked at was green&quot;. She wasn'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. <br /> <br /> Autopsies of victims of Scheele’s Green, including Matilda, reveal that even internal organs had a visible shade of green. 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.<br /> <br /> Conan pauses. Everyone in the room (including Gennori, Koichi, Meguire and his team), with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. One of the maids breaks silence, screams and shouts obscenities at Seiichi, before falling to her knees in despair. Seiichi puts his hands in his pocket and grins.<br /> <br /> Seiichi claims innocence and denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. He claims his words are truthful and that only he can give permission for the police to search the inside of his palette box due to privacy laws. 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''. <br /> <br /> Because Richard is a licensed private investigator and is labeled an ordinary citizen by law, he has no legal powers or authority to invoke this powerful doctrine. Inspector Meguire, being a sworn government law enforcement officer with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, can, shall and indeed do so.<br /> <br /> Meguire was virtually powerless to do anything in regards to Seiichi’s palette box, but with this ace in effect, two things happen: one, the strict privacy laws that Seiichi cowardly hid behind no longer apply, and two, Meguire has the immediate authority to seize the box without a pre-signed warrant under the aforementioned legal doctrine. In actuality, the choice to use Exigent Circumstances didn’t appear out of nowhere: an immediate threat MUST be present and proven harmful and life-theatening. In case Seiichi is wondering, yes, the possession of lethal arsine gas in a palette box would highly likely trigger the exigent circumstances doctrine. This situation falls squarely under the public safety emergency exception due to the extreme and immediate threat the material poses to human life. Before the events of the resolution even began, there were talks between Richard and Meguire in regards to Seiichi’s palette box. After the formula and circumstances were analyzed, it made perfect sense to seize the box within the boundaries of the law, secure it, and have it taken outside. The law states that neither Richard nor Inspector Meguire are obligated to inform Seiichi that palette box was seized. 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. Meguire already has the poisonous palette box bagged, tagged, and safety waiting outside the mansion for the Fire Department Hazardous Materials Unit (HazMat) with armed forces. <br /> <br /> Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, menacingly stating that Seiichi likes to choke sick defenseless women in their sleep with lethal gas, but can’t stand to face reality when the law requires him to give his life in exchange and to look himself in the mirror to face the reality of his own creation: Seiichi Hashimoto is NOT a master painter, he is a narcissistic psychotic murderer who used a banned historical toxic sludge because his feelings were hurt over his mundane drawing. 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 paintsi 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. He also feared of tying them in a garbage bag, throwing them in the woods and retrieving it later to destroy; as a precaution, the Inspector did in fact have a thorough sweep of the estate and everywhere within a 5 mile radius of it, leaving Seiichi indefinitely stuck with the “smoking gun.” 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.”<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. Seiichi violently snaps, taking offense of Richard’s barrage of psychological attacks to his ego and psyche l. 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.<br /> <br /> Seiichi cruelly mocks the maids for their grief, calling their act worthless. He turns his attention to the grief stricken Rachel who is still emotionally devastated from the Scheele’s Green story. Seiichi tells Rachel, who he fully blames for his rightfully earned arrest, that he wished her bonquet of flowers died along with Fumiko. Fully consumed by his self-driven maniacal self image and narcissism, Seiichi continues to gloat, failing to realize the Inspector placing him 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. <br /> <br /> 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. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Night of Fireworks, A Murder!! ==<br /> === File 6 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 7 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Missing Bride ==<br /> === File 8 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 9 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Demon's Thunder ==<br /> === File 10 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 11 - Part 2 ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;The culprit is '''Sachi Makise'''.

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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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, some of which can be 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = IMG_0755.jpeg<br /> | location = Fumiko’s Mansion inside her bedroom<br /> | victim = Fumiko Asaka<br /> | age = <br /> | cause-death = Necrosis via unidentified poison<br /> | time of death = 3:00AM<br /> | suspects = Gennori Sugita, Seiichi Hashimoto, and Koichi Saito<br /> | description = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> 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. Inspector Meguire has his female forensic do a physical exhaustive search of Fumiko’s body to find any hidden entry points for poison while the investigation team moves outside to search for any poisonous materials. 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.<br /> <br /> 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.

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.<br /> <br /> 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's primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.<br /> <br /> 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'''.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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 &quot;The Dance of Death&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.<br /> <br /> Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer'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 &quot;everything she looked at was green&quot;. She wasn'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. <br /> <br /> Conan pauses. Everyone in the room (including Gennori, Koichi, Meguire and his team), with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. One of the maids breaks silence, screams and shouts obscenities at Seiichi, before falling to her knees in despair. Seiichi puts his hands in his pocket and grins.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Seiichi claims innocence and denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. He claims his words are truthful and that only he can give permission for the police to search the inside of his palette box due to privacy laws. 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''. <br /> <br /> At first, Inspector Meguire was virtually powerless to do anything in regards to Seiichi’s palette box, but with this ace in effect, two things happen: one, the strict privacy laws that Seiichi cowardly hid behind no longer apply, and two, Meguire has the immediate authority to seize the box without a pre-signed warrant under the aforementioned legal doctrine. In actuality, the choice to use Exigent Circumstances didn’t appear out of nowhere: an immediate threat MUST be present and proven harmful and life-theatening. In case Seiichi is wondering, yes, the possession of lethal arsine gas in a palette box would highly likely trigger the exigent circumstances doctrine. This situation falls squarely under the public safety emergency exception due to the extreme and immediate threat the material poses to human life. Before the events of the resolution even began, there were talks between Richard and Meguire in regards to Seiichi’s palette box. After the formula and circumstances were analyzed, it made perfect sense to seize the box within the boundaries of the law, secure it, and have it taken outside. The law states that neither Richard nor Inspector Meguire are obligated to inform Seiichi that palette box was seized. 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. Meguire already has the poisonous palette box bagged, tagged, and safety waiting outside the mansion for the Fire Department Hazardous Materials Unit (HazMat) with armed forces. <br /> <br /> Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, menacingly stating that Seiichi likes to choke sick defenseless women in their sleep with lethal gas, but can’t stand to face reality when the law requires him to give his life in exchange and to look himself in the mirror to face the reality of his own creation: Seiichi Hashimoto is NOT a master painter, he is a narcissistic psychotic murderer who used a banned toxic sludge because his feelings were hurt over his mundane drawing. 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. He also feared of tying them in a garbage bag, throwing them in the woods and retrieving it later to destroy; as a precaution, the Inspector did in fact have a thorough sweep of the estate and everywhere within a 5 mile radius of it, leaving Seiichi indefinitely stuck with the “smoking gun.” 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.”<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Seiichi cruelly mocks the maids for their grief, calling their act worthless. He turns his attention to the grief stricken Rachel who is still emotionally devastated from the Scheele’s Green story. Seiichi tells Rachel, who he fully blames for his rightfully earned arrest, that he wished her bonquet of flowers died along with Fumiko. Fully consumed by his self-driven maniacal self image and narcissism, Seiichi continues to gloat, failing to realize the Inspector placing him 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. <br /> <br /> 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. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Night of Fireworks, A Murder!! ==<br /> === File 6 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 7 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Missing Bride ==<br /> === File 8 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 9 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Demon's Thunder ==<br /> === File 10 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 11 - Part 2 ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;The culprit is '''Sachi Makise'''.

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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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, some of which can be 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = IMG_0755.jpeg<br /> | location = Fumiko’s Mansion inside her bedroom<br /> | victim = Fumiko Asaka<br /> | age = <br /> | cause-death = Necrosis via unidentified poison<br /> | time of death = 3:00AM<br /> | suspects = Gennori Sugita, Seiichi Hashimoto, and Koichi Saito<br /> | description = <br /> }}<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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'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. <br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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's primary filters and enter the respiratory system directly, as documented in a study published by the University of Wyoming in Laramie.<br /> <br /> 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'''.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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 &quot;The Dance of Death&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.<br /> <br /> Historical records explicitly state that the whites of 19-year-old Matilda Scheurer'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 &quot;everything she looked at was green&quot;. She wasn'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. <br /> <br /> Conan pauses. Everyone in the room (including Gennori, Koichi, Meguire and his team), with the exception of Seiichi, is left utterly speechless, shocked, and mortified. One of the maids breaks silence, screams and shouts obscenities at Seiichi, before falling to her knees in despair. Seiichi puts his hands in his pocket and grins.<br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Seiichi claims innocence and denies any involvement in Fumiko-sama’s murder and claims to have only painted with the tools he came with. He claims his words are truthful and that only he can give permission for the police to search the inside of his palette box due to privacy laws. 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''. <br /> <br /> At first, Inspector Meguire was virtually powerless to do anything in regards to Seiichi’s palette box, but with this ace in effect, two things happen: one, the strict privacy laws that Seiichi cowardly hid behind no longer apply, and two, Meguire has the immediate authority to seize the box without a pre-signed warrant under the aforementioned legal doctrine. In actuality, the choice to use Exigent Circumstances didn’t appear out of nowhere: an immediate threat MUST be present and proven harmful and life-theatening. In case Seiichi is wondering Yes, the possession of lethal arsine gas in a palette box would highly likely trigger the exigent circumstances doctrine. This situation falls squarely under the public safety emergency exception due to the extreme and immediate threat the material poses to human life. Before the events of the resolution even began, there were talks between Richard and Meguire in regards to Seiichi’s palette box. After the formula and circumstances were analyzed, it made perfect sense to seize the box within the boundaries of the law, secure it, and have it taken outside. 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. Meguire already has the poisonous palette box bagged, tagged, and safety waiting outside the mansion for the Fire Department Hazardous Materials Unit (HazMat) immediately. <br /> <br /> Seiichi grows hesitant and Conan capitalizes, calling his bluff, stating innocent men have nothing to hide and the truth shall set him free, there is no need for a look of concern. 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.”<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> Seiichi cruelly mocks the maids for their grief, calling their act worthless. He turns his attention to the grief stricken Rachel who is still emotionally devastated from the Scheele’s Green story. Seiichi tells Rachel, who he fully blames for his rightfully earned arrest, that he wished her bonquet of flowers died along with Fumiko. Fully consumed by his self-driven maniacal self image and narcissism, Seiichi continues to gloat, failing to realize the Inspector placing him 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. <br /> <br /> 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. &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Night of Fireworks, A Murder!! ==<br /> === File 6 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 7 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == The Missing Bride ==<br /> === File 8 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 9 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> == Demon's Thunder ==<br /> === File 10 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 11 - Part 2 ===<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;The culprit is '''Sachi Makise'''.

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud terrifying scream interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo trembling in fear outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood, his milky white soulless eyes staring at both Endo and Hiromi. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Exsanguination via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is exsanguination, the medical term for blood loss, due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover. Committing the slaughter this way, the killer successfully fooled everyone into thinking Haruki held onto some make-believe bomb or drank an overly superconductive explosive liquid compound that snuck into his system, thereby sending investigators on a wild goose chase for typical bomb fragments and run analysis tests for foreign chemicals that would never be found. In a twisted sense of humor, Haruki ''was'' the bomb.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that what he has done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved. <br /> <br /> He looks at Endo and Hiromi, who remind him so much of himself in his younger years, ready and full of life to jump into the world of science. Ezaki never actually intended to have witnesses to his crime because he knew what a monstrously gruesome site awaited once the elevator doors opened. Instead of lashing out at them because it was their actions that added to his downfall, he apologizes for the trauma he inflicted on them. He could have used legal connections and had Haruki investigated and prosecuted, filed a complaint with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), but his rage blew up until, he stops and looks at the site of the elevator, where Haruki once stood.. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession with a rather deadpan emotionless face and a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends. The three savage what is left of the night, ending the story with smiles as they continue to walk down the quiet moon-kissed street.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud terrifying scream interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo trembling in fear outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood, his milky white soulless eyes staring at both Endo and Hiromi. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Exsanguination via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is exsanguination, the medical term for blood loss, due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover. Committing the slaughter this way, the killer successfully fooled everyone into thinking some make-believe bomb or an overly superconductive explosive liquid compound snuck its way into Haruki’s system, thereby sending investigators on a wild goose chase for typical bomb fragments and run analysis tests for foreign chemicals that would never be found. <br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that what he has done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved. <br /> <br /> He looks at Endo and Hiromi, who remind him so much of himself in his younger years, ready and full of life to jump into the world of science. Ezaki never actually intended to have witnesses to his crime because he knew what a monstrously gruesome site awaited once the elevator doors opened. Instead of lashing out at them because it was their actions that added to his downfall, he apologizes for the trauma he inflicted on them. He could have used legal connections and had Haruki investigated and prosecuted, filed a complaint with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), but his rage blew up until, he stops and looks at the site of the elevator, where Haruki once stood.. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession with a rather deadpan emotionless face and a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends. The three savage what is left of the night, ending the story with smiles as they continue to walk down the quiet moon-kissed street.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud terrifying scream interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo trembling in fear outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood, his milky white soulless eyes staring at both Endo and Hiromi. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Exsanguination via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is exsanguination, the medical term for blood loss, due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that what he has done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved. <br /> <br /> He looks at Endo and Hiromi, who remind him so much of himself in his younger years, ready and full of life to jump into the world of science. Ezaki never actually intended to have witnesses to his crime because he knew what a monstrously gruesome site awaited once the elevator doors opened. Instead of lashing out at them because it was their actions that added to his downfall, he apologizes for the trauma he inflicted on them. He could have used legal connections and had Haruki investigated and prosecuted, filed a complaint with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), but his rage blew up until, he stops and looks at the site of the elevator, where Haruki once stood.. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession with a rather deadpan emotionless face and a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends. The three savage what is left of the night, ending the story with smiles as they continue to walk down the quiet moon-kissed street.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Exsanguination via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is exsanguination, the medical term for blood loss, due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that what he has done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved. <br /> <br /> He looks at Endo and Hiromi, who remind him so much of himself in his younger years, ready and full of life to jump into the world of science. Ezaki never actually intended to have witnesses to his crime because he knew what a monstrously gruesome site awaited once the elevator doors opened. Instead of lashing out at them because it was their actions that added to his downfall, he apologizes for the trauma he inflicted on them. He could have used legal connections and had Haruki investigated and prosecuted, filed a complaint with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), but his rage blew up until, he stops and looks at the site of the elevator, where Haruki once stood.. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession with a rather deadpan emotionless face and a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends. The three savage what is left of the night, ending the story with smiles as they continue to walk down the quiet moon-kissed street.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Exsanguination via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is exsanguination, the medical term for blood loss, due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked in jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that what he has done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved. <br /> <br /> He looks at Endo and Hiromi, who remind him so much of himself in his younger years, ready and full of life to jump into the world of science. Ezaki never actually intended to have witnesses to his crime because he knew what a monstrously gruesome site awaited once the elevator doors opened. Instead of lashing out at them because it was their actions that added to his downfall, he apologizes for the trauma he inflicted on them. He could have used legal connections and had Haruki investigated and prosecuted, filed a complaint with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), but his rage blew up until, he stops and looks at the site of the elevator, where Haruki once stood.. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession with a rather deadpan emotionless face and a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends. The three savage what is left of the night, ending the story with smiles as they continue to walk down the quiet moon-kissed street.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Exsanguination via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is blood loss due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked in jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that what he has done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved. <br /> <br /> He looks at Endo and Hiromi, who remind him so much of himself in his younger years, ready and full of life to jump into the world of science. Ezaki never actually intended to have witnesses to his crime because he knew what a monstrously gruesome site awaited once the elevator doors opened. Instead of lashing out at them because it was their actions that added to his downfall, he apologizes for the trauma he inflicted on them. He could have used legal connections and had Haruki investigated and prosecuted, filed a complaint with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), but his rage blew up until, he stops and looks at the site of the elevator, where Haruki once stood.. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession with a rather deadpan emotionless face and a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends. The three savage what is left of the night, ending the story with smiles as they continue to walk down the quiet moon-kissed street.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = exsanguination via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is blood loss due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked in jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that what he has done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved. <br /> <br /> He looks at Endo and Hiromi, who remind him so much of himself in his younger years, ready and full of life to jump into the world of science. Ezaki never actually intended to have witnesses to his crime because he knew what a monstrously gruesome site awaited once the elevator doors opened. Instead of lashing out at them because it was their actions that added to his downfall, he apologizes for the trauma he inflicted on them. He could have used legal connections and had Haruki investigated and prosecuted, filed a complaint with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), but his rage blew up until, he stops and looks at the site of the elevator, where Haruki once stood.. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession with a rather deadpan emotionless face and a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends. The three savage what is left of the night, ending the story with smiles as they continue to walk down the quiet moon-kissed street.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Blood loss via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is blood loss due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked in jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that what he has done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved. <br /> <br /> He looks at Endo and Hiromi, who remind him so much of himself in his younger years, ready and full of life to jump into the world of science. Ezaki never actually intended to have witnesses to his crime because he knew what a monstrously gruesome site awaited once the elevator doors opened. Instead of lashing out at them because it was their actions that added to his downfall, he apologizes for the trauma he inflicted on them. He could have used legal connections and had Haruki investigated and prosecuted, filed a complaint with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), but his rage blew up until, he stops and looks at the site of the elevator, where Haruki once stood.. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession with a rather deadpan emotionless face and a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends. The three savage what is left of the night, ending the story with smiles as they continue to walk down the quiet moon-kissed street.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Blood loss via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is blood loss due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked in jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that what he has done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved. He looks at Endo and Hiromi, who remind him so much of himself in his younger years, ready and full of life to jump into the world of science. Instead of lashing out at them because it was their actions that added to his downfall, he apologizes for the trauma he inflicted on them. He could have used legal connections and had Haruki investigated and prosecuted, filed a complaint with the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), but his rage blew up until, he stops and looks at the site of the elevator, where Haruki once stood.. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession on a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends. The three savage what is left of the night, ending the story with smiles as they continue to walk down the quiet moon-kissed street.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Blood loss via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is blood loss due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked in jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that he what he done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved and any trauma inflicted. Though he is grateful that another worthy scientist is what became his downfall, he expresses profound deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place. He ends his remorseful confession on a chilling note to Dr. Agasa: “please chose your friends carefully in the next life.” Ezaki is formally arrested in connection to Haruki’s murder.<br /> <br /> Later that night, Dr. Agasa walks home, still feeling the effects of the crime. Conan is beside him, telling him that a pain of this magnitude won’t go away overnight. Agasa calls him by his real name, Jimmy (Shinichi), completely forgetting that Rachel is behind him. Agasa is completely caught off guard and quickly explains that Conan just reminds him of Jimmy with his quick reflexes and theories. Rachel drops her suspicions and agrees with the Doctor. She also tells Agasa that no matter what life throws at them, the three of them, Rachel, Conan, and Agasa, will always remain the best of friends.

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Blood loss via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is blood loss due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the anchor that ties everything together and gives Inspector Meguire the authority to walk Ezaki down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked in jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that he what he done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved and any trauma inflicted. He express deep regret for turning his academic gift into a horrifying tragedy instead of trying to make the world a better place.

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Blood loss via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is blood loss due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for the killer’s hidden weapon.<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the one that gives Inspector Meguire to walk him down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked in jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that he what he done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved.

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Blood loss via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is blood loss due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;Agasa announces to everyone that he knows who the murderer is. The killer managed to do the impossible and blow Haruki up to smithereens in every literal part of the phase. Although it sounds something out of a science fiction-horror film, this was achieved by using a small machine called a multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron. These devices are not small; they weigh hundreds of pounds, require liquid cooling systems (water or oil jackets to prevent them from melting themselves), and are roughly the size of a water heater. Physically mounting this on top of a moving elevator cab without altering the elevator's counterweights and tripping mechanical balance alarms is a massive engineering hurdle, thereby turning a harmless everyday elevator into a lethal microwave oven.<br /> <br /> First and foremost, for the sake of non-scientific civilians, a standard kitchen mangetron will be used. A magnetron is the high-powered vacuum tube that generates the electromagnetic waves (microwaves) used to heat one’s food. It converts high-voltage electricity into powerful, 2.45 GHz radio waves, which then cause water molecules in your food to vibrate rapidly and generate heat. The magnetron relies on a combination of electricity, magnetic fields, and structured metal cavities to generate microwave energy.<br /> <br /> Second, water molecules are electrical dipoles. This means they have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other.<br /> When the magnetron shoots microwaves into the oven, the electric field pulls these charges in opposite directions. The terrifying part is the speed. The electric field reverses direction 2.45 billion times per second. To keep up, the water molecules must twist back and forth at that exact same frantic frequency. As billions of these molecules bump and violently rub against each other, the resulting molecular friction generates intense thermal energy throughout the mass. Materials with no water molecules are completely ignored by the waves. But almost anything containing moisture will be instantly brought to a furious boil—while dry organic materials are simply scorched to a crisp.<br /> <br /> Finally, a real life example can be drawn back to Agasa’s house: Agasa placed two eggs in his personal microwave and tried to have hard boiled eggs for dinner, but ended up with scrambled eggs instead. The resulting explosion from the eggs completely destroyed the microwave. What actually happened was the waves easily penetrate the porous calcium carbonate eggshell. The waves are immediately absorbed by the water molecules heavily concentrated inside both the egg white (albumen) and the yolk. Unlike a stovetop where heat moves slowly from the outside in, the microwave heats the entire liquid volume of the egg almost simultaneously.<br /> <br /> The moisture in the yolk evaporates, causing it to violently expand. But because the egg is encased in a hard shell, that evaporated moisture has nowhere to escape. The internal pressure has no choice but to skyrocket.<br /> Now, this simple, cautionary kitchen warning becomes a gruesome murder method when you replace the egg with our victim, Haruki Yukawa.<br /> The laws of physics unfortunately apply to the human body as well—though with a few distinct, terrifying exceptions. Unlike a uniform egg, a human being is a complex network of tissues. Even if the internal organs rupture from the intense steam generation, the outer boundaries of the body create a completely different kind of pressure trap.<br /> <br /> Haruki Yukawa was a well-known heavyset man who rarely missed a meal. Now, while the human body averages sixty to seventy percent water inside the boundaries of the skin, that number is never universal. The exact amount varies significantly between individuals based on their body composition. Although the moisture inside his internal organs rapidly evaporated due to the intense microwave effects, human skin is surprisingly tough and resilient. Because it can stretch and resist tearing, the internal steam pressure inside his torso continued to get higher and higher. The fatal trigger was a simple habit. Roughly an hour or two before stepping into that elevator, Haruki consumed stomach medicine—and drank a full glass of water to wash it down. That concentrated pool of fluid became the perfect, highly volatile target for Fumio Ezaki's hidden weapon<br /> <br /> Haruki was completely trapped, with absolutely nowhere to go. He was surrounded on all sides by solid steel walls. Because of the killer’s modifications, the invisible waves and chaotic frequencies were distributed evenly throughout the entire cab. Blasted by thousands of watts of raw micro energy—with zero protection, no defense, and his mind rightfully racing while registering the otherworldly, agonizing pain through it all—the internal steam moisture continued to build exponentially. The pressure skyrocketed second by second, until the inevitable, horrifying breaking point. The structural tissue failed, and Haruki’s stomach violently exploded from within, his intestines, guts, and pieces of his stomach laying on his lap—leaving the police with a truly gruesome and unforgettable scene to discover.<br /> <br /> Inspector Meguire states that having a magnetron inside, on, or near a public elevator is not only extremely dangerous but also illegal under the Radio Act. This law treats the electromagnetic spectrum as critical national infrastructure. High-frequency equipment (like a raw magnetron) requires strict licensing and a &quot;Technical Conformity Mark&quot; (Giteki). Operating an unshielded, high-powered emitter that actively disrupts telecommunications (like blocking the officer's cell signal) carries severe prison time and millions of yen in fines under unlicensed radio station laws. In order for this to be true, they have to find the illegal mangetron.<br /> <br /> Dr. Agasa steps forward, pointing up at the ceiling. He states that there is indeed one hidden inside the elevator structure—mounted face down and aimed directly at anyone standing inside the cab. The magnetron’s opening is sealed by a mundane mica cover, otherwise known as a waveguide sheet. In an ordinary kitchen microwave, this heat-resistant insulation board protects the delicate antenna from food splatters, grease, and moisture. Because of its dull, industrial color, it can easily be mistaken for a harmless element of the elevator ceiling. Elevator cab builders frequently use matching laminate sheets on both the ceilings and the wall panels to create a seamless interior. The killer weaponized this exact design choice, using a genuine radio-transparent mica window to mask a deadly engineering trap right in plain sight.<br /> <br /> The killer had to invent a highly illegal, heavily modified 'focusing waveguide tube' alongside the magnetron just to prevent the waves from hitting the metal walls and detonating the building's electrical system. With this fact laid bare, and so much evidence pointing toward the lab panels, the pool of suspects vanishes. The guilty party must be someone with a brilliant, lifetime specialty in microwave research and engineering. That terrifying, once-in-a-generation engineering madman is sitting right among us. He is a former university professor—and tragically, one of Dr. Agasa’s closest friends: '''Fumio Ezaki'''.<br /> <br /> The immense weight of the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron mentioned earlier required Ezaki visiting the award venue earlier than everyone. He went straight to the elevator, and wired his contraption up. That’s why Ezaki completely missed the entirety of the award ceremony and subsequent party that followed immediately after, only showing up that night after the crowd dispersed. Messing with the university’s electrical grid is a serious violation and raises a red flag, however, given his close ties with the university and friendship with Haruki, Ezaki could easily state he was conducting a scientific experiment in the name of academics and all eyes would be diverted. With his knowledge of microwaves, only he possesses the skills to strengthen the microwaves to literally cook a man alive from the inside out.<br /> <br /> Ezaki vehemently denies the gruesome, highly illegal accusations made against him, stating he was also inside the elevator as well, carrying the risk that he could have been brutally killed too. The professor says that Endo’s phone call to Haruki didn’t go through, mainly because the lethal microwaves shooting down were blocking the signal. If one were to put a cell phone inside a running microwave, no calls would go through. Conan chimes in and states that the lethal elevator microwave worked too well. There are a few clues to look at. The first being the flowers that Hiromi gave to Haruki: they were fully blossomed, but after the murder was committed, they wilted. The gentle, soft wilting proves the heating happened uniformly from the inside out, targetting only the water content while leaving the dry organic structure of the petals visually smooth and unburnt.<br /> <br /> The second clue is the victim himself, Haruki Yukawa. Although deceased and unable to speak, he was able to leave the investigation a vital clue: his eyes, which are now a haunting white. This is the immediate physical result of microwave cataractogenesis and thermal keratopathy. The clear proteins inside the human lens are highly sensitive to heat. Because the eye is filled with fluid and lacks blood vessels to dissipate energy, your invisible 2.45 GHz waves superheated the orbit instantly, cooking those clear lens proteins until they clumped into a solid, opaque white—exactly like an egg white solidifying in a hot pan. This wasn't a natural medical event. Those milky white eyes prove Haruki was looking directly up at the decorative mica ceiling panel the exact millisecond Ezaki flooded that sealed box with a lethal, concentrated payload. It is perhaps that Haruki realized his life was coming to a gruesome end when he looked at Ezaki across the elevator shielded with protected. Despite his agonizing pain and suffering, he looked up at the ceiling in an act of defiance and left the investigators a clue to point to what happened inside that elevator. <br /> <br /> There is a little more evidence that Ezaki has to offer, unfortunately for him, it’s the one that gives Inspector Meguire to walk him down with handcuffs: the inside of his thick coat jacket. The outside of the jacket looks like ordinary wool, perfectly matching the everyday wardrobe of a university professor. The inside lining, however, is a dense, ultra-fine weave of metal-infused radiofrequency (RF) shielding fabric (made of woven silver or nickel fibers). While it feels silk-smooth to the touch, it possesses a completely different, almost synthetic weight and slickness compared to standard fabrics. This lining served as Ezaki's personal, flexible Faraday shield. He knew that even with a precise waveguide, microwave frequencies would scatter off Haruki's 280-pound frame inside that sealed steel box. The smooth metal-mesh lining reflected those stray waves away while he stood in the corner, keeping his own internal organs safe while he stood inches away from a horrific execution. The blood soaked in jacket alone is not enough to convict for murder, however, it proves beyond a reasonable doubt that Ezaki possessed the mind to pursue his murderous act and didn’t look back. When locked with the denatured milky white eyes of Haruki, Endo’s missed phone call, Hiromi’s lightly wilted flowers, and the sci-fi technology murder weapon that personally has ties to the suspect, the modified jacket will serve as the legal loophole that no attorney could break.<br /> <br /> With the police finding the multi-kilowatt plasma-heating magnetron and the modified focusing waveguide tube above the elevator, Ezaki confesses, stating that he and Haruki co-authored an award-winning thesis together an submitted it to the committee. The thing is, the committee could crown one person with the victory IF their thesis was chosen: Haruki would proceed to erase Ezaki’s name without his consent, and a month later, Haruki won the award. This wasn’t the first incident, Haruki has been doing this for the past 30 years, and it did not stop there unfortunately. Haruki would pull the strings behind the stage to have Ezaki removed from the university. Ezaki states that he what he done was exceptionally evil, takes full responsibility for his actions, and apologizes to everyone involved.

When they walk inside his home, an mini explosion occurs, blowing smoke everywhere. Dr Agasa explains that he was trying to make a boiled egg by way of the microwave, but the egg exploded. With the doctor is his friend, 56-year-old former university professor Fumio Ezaki, fixing the microwave.<br /> <br /> After some time had past, Agasa worries that they return to the university, but Ezaki sternly objects, stating that the university’s laboratories are crammed up, adding on that the professor has all basic tools and household goods and basic necessities, all free of charge and can work at their own leisurely pace. Agasa states that tomorrow is the Imperial Science and Technology Award Ceremony and Party and he will be in attendance. Ezaki says he will be there as well along with three of his friend. <br /> <br /> The next day, the ceremony event and party takes place. Agasa, with Rachel and Conan in tow, meet Haruki Yukawa, the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His assistant, 30-year-old Susumi Endo, reminds Haruki that it’s time to take his medicine. Susumi hands over a glass of water and his medication; Haruki explains that he has been up all night writing his thesis and it’s caused his stomach to ache from time to time. He consumes his medication right there on the spot in front of everyone.<br /> <br /> Ezaki, who said he would be at the party, has yet to make his presence known, causing Agasa to grow concerned. Haruki states he may be opening the health labs with other students and dismissed Agasa’s concerns stating that Ezaki won’t miss a party. He even offers Agasa a desk at the labs if he wants. Agasa claims that best friends are rare and his circle of friends should be grateful to have met during their student days.<br /> <br /> Haruki is called to the stage to give a speech by the lovely 21-year-old university student Hiromi Suzuki, who passes a beautiful bouquet of flowers to him. <br /> <br /> The party comes to a peaceful end and everyone says their goodbyes before parting ways. Ezaki and Agasa are encouraged by the others to return to the campus more often. Ezaki realizes he left his lighter inside the research lab and asks Haruki for his key to retrieve it. Haruki decides to tag along with Ezaki to help the process. Endo suddenly realizes that forgot to ask Haruki about the preparation for tomorrow’s experiment. Hiromi suggests calling his cell phone, but the call goes straight to voicemail. The inside of the elevator is made of metal on 5 sides and the top is made of plastic; the call should have went through. Endo suggests that he’ll wait for Haruki to leave the elevator and then try again. Agasa, Conan, and Rachel take their leave.<br /> <br /> On the walk home, Agasa becomes emotional in a good way, praising Haruki for his hard work and dedication to the scientific studies. Haruki grew up poor in the rough parts of town, in the worst of conditions, with no parents to guide him on the right path. Agasa was grateful for their time together, but a loud explosion interrupts his speech and heartfelt moment. Conan wastes no time in running back to the building with Rachel and Agasa behind him. They see Hiromi and Endo outside, what appears to be, a literal blood soaked elevator.<br /> <br /> Getting closer to the scene, Conan discovers a grisly sight: an uninjured but deeply horrified Ezaki, covered in blood with the exception of his face, but it doesn’t belong to him, it belongs to Haruki, who has been gruesomely disemboweled, his literal intestines and guts are hanging out and sitting in his lap while pieces of his insides scatter on the elevator floor and his blood covered legs, Haruki’s face, also covered in blood, his corpse seated on the elevator floor in a massive pool of his own blood. The entire elevator is a literal blood bath. What is even wilder is the testimony of Ezaki: Haruki spontaneously combusted right before his very eyes. <br /> <br /> {{InfoBox Crime<br /> | crime = Murder<br /> | image = Haruki_death.jpeg<br /> | location = University elevator <br /> | victim = Haruki Yukawa<br /> | age = 57 years old<br /> | cause-death = Blood loss via disembowelment<br /> | suspects = Fumio Ezaki, Hirumi Suzuki, and Susumi Endo<br /> | description = A literal bloodbath awaits everyone.<br /> }}<br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa is nearly numb before being moved to tears at the sudden yet gruesome death of Haruki. As a sign of respect, Agasa closes Haruki’s eyes before being demanded by Conan to step away from the crime scene. Agasa begins to harden up as his sadness turns into anger, flat out accusing both Hiromi and Endo of this grisly incident. Both did possess the opportunity: Hiromi did give Haruki a bouquet of flowers before the crime and Endo did give Haruki a glass of water along with his medicine. Neither of these things had a bomb hidden. <br /> <br /> Despite Haruki being torn from literally inside out, Agasa hugs his dearly departed best friend and bids him a farewell to the afterlife. Conan menacingly growls at Agasa to step away from the crime scene so he may analyze any clues left behind. Seeing Agasa shed genuine tears in a full blown cry for a murdered friend sends rage down Conan’s spine, internally promising to expose the killer in this murder case of an unprecedented scale.<br /> <br /> === File 6 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> <br /> Picking up from Part 1, Inspector Meguire arrives on the scene, but quickly wishes he didn’t given the grisly scene of the crime, but states that the flow of justice will continue without delay and won’t rest until the guilty is rightfully punished by the law. The deceased’s name is Haruki Yukawa, aged 57, current university professor, and the the inaugural winner of the Imperial Science and Technology Award. His cause of death is blood loss due to being disemboweled. The investigation team turns to Ezaki who repeats his story, Haruki suddenly, and out of nowhere, spontaneously combusted while riding with him inside the elevator. <br /> <br /> Doctor Agasa doubles down on his accusations and claims someone must’ve given Haruki some kind of explosives and made him drink it. This makes everyone turn to Susumi Endo, as he was the one who did give Haruki medicine. The medicine in question turns out to be stomach medicine and not a form of explosives. Conan states that whoever gave Haruki some sort of explosives did an amazing job because there is a lack of gunpowder to be found nor can it be smelled or detected. No sharp weapons can be found. The most disturbing aspect of the murder is that if it truly is a homicide, the victim’s fatal wound came from inside the body coming out. If a sharp weapon like a knife or hook was used, then there would be marks indicating an inward push into the victim, not the other way around. <br /> <br /> Agasa again goes after the emotionally distraught Hiromi, claiming she must’ve smuggled a bomb in the bouquet of flowers she gave to Haruki before he went up on stage. Hiromi denies giving him anything but flowers and she respected him too much to even consider taking his life. Conan quickly denounces this because the flowers Hiromi gave to Haruki, although covered in blood, are still intact, however, Conan notices that they have began to wilt despite just blooming freshly when in Haruki’s possession just moments ago. <br /> <br /> Conan asks Agasa to remain calm of his emotions; he can not accuse someone of a crime when his mood flairs up. It’s not good for the investigation and police will legally remove or arrest Agasa regardless of his emotional connection to the victim. It is indeed deeply saddening and frustrating to lose a beloved friend and fellow devoted scientist to such gruesome violence but allow justice to take form. Agasa questions on how he can be calm when his friend of 3 decades has been slaughtered in less than 3 seconds, but begins cooling down due to the commanding presence of Inspector Meguire. The law will ensure due process and the murderer of the professor’s friend will be brought to justice, just as Inspector Meguire promised.<br /> <br /> Turning back to the crime scene without going inside, Conan spots a corner inside the elevator that is voided of blood. It is determined that Ezaki had been standing in that exact spot. Conan finds it strange that Ezaki’s coat and trousers are drenched in blood with the expectation of his face. According to Ezaki’s own testimony, Haruki exploded out of nowhere, there were no warnings, signs, weird smells, or abnormalities: it just happened suddenly. There is blood on his coat yes, however, even just a little should have tainted his face and hands.<br /> <br /> Agasa secretly asks Conan, (referring to him by his real name, Jimmy) if he’s solved the case while still feeling the emotional effects from<br /> his slain friend. Agasa continues saying if Haruki had a signal inside the elevator, perhaps his death could have been avoided. When Conan asks about the cell phone, the investigating officer explains that he had a cell phone connection climbing up the elevator and successfully called Inspector Meguire.<br /> <br /> Conan discovers that Haruki’s cell phone, contained in an evidence bag, was indeed on, and still is. He leads him to believe that an incident had occurred but the signal didn’t reach the elevator. A small “ching” is heard and Conan tells Rachel that it sounds very similar to that of a microwave. Having a stroke of luck, Conan grabs Agasa and they travel to the second floor in a completely different elevator that hasn’t been blocked by police. Once on the second floor, Conan uses his powered shoes to forcefully open the elevator shaft of the first elevator. He looks down and makes a discovery. With a serious face, Conan tells Agasa that he wants to confirm everything before explaining to Agasa that there are things that the doctor should not do going forward in this case.<br /> <br /> Conan runs toward Ezaki and “trips”, catching onto the bottom of his coat jacket for leverage. Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>

Rachel warns Conan to be careful, but he ignores her and looks at Agasa, telling him it is perfect. Agasa agrees and knows what to do.<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Fumio Ezaki|Fumio_Ezaki_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 56 years old<br /> * University Professor}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> {{People|Haruki Yukawa|Haruki_Yukawa_SV17.jpeg|<br /> * 57 years old<br /> * Victim (Disemboweled)<br /> * Award Recipient}}<br /> {{People|Susumi Endo|Susumi_endosv17.jpeg|<br /> * 30 years old<br /> * Haruki’s assistant}}<br /> {{People|Hirumi Suzuki|Hirumi_Suzukisv17.jpeg|<br /> * 21 years old<br /> *University student}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == The Figureless Kidnapper ==<br /> === File 7 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 8 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == The Lake Pension Murder Case ==<br /> === File 9 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 10 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == From Type O to Type A ==<br /> === File 11 - Part 1 ===<br /> <br /> === File 12 - Part 2 ===<br /> <br /> === People ===<br /> <br /> == Cover in other countries ==<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cc.jpg|150px|thumb|left|China]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17g.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Germany]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17hkcw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Hong Kong]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17bi.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Indonesia]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17k.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Korea]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17ct.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17m.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Malaysia (Malay)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cw.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Rep. of China (Taiwan)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17cy.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Singapore (Chinese)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17sp.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Spain (Spanish)]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17th.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Thailand]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> &lt;div class=&quot;left&quot;&gt;[[File:Special17v.jpg|150px|thumb|left|Vietnam]]&lt;/div&gt;<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Detective Conan Special]]<br /> * [[Special Volume 11-20]]<br /> <br /> {{Special Volumes}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Detective Conan Special]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Band 17 (Short Stories)]]</div>
