Sas141: /* Subaru Okiya */

'''{{nihongo|[[Shuichi Akai]]|赤井秀一|Akai Shūichi}}''' is an [[federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent and a major figure in the battle against the [[Black Organization]]. He once assumed the identity of '''{{nihongo|Dai Moroboshi|諸星大|Moroboshi Dai}}''' and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename '''{{nihongo|Rye|ライ|Rai}}'''. During this time he made enemies with [[Gin]] and [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and became romantically involved with [[Akemi Miyano]]. Since his exit from the Black Organization, he has become one of their most feared enemies, and has been a key player in several FBI clashes with the Organization, gaining the nickname [[Silver Bullet]]. More recently, he faked his own death in order to keep the CIA infiltrator [[Hidemi Hondou]] from being uncovered as a spy within the Organization. With [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s disguise help, he became '''[[Subaru Okiya]]''', a friendly engineering graduate student. As Subaru Okiya, he sought to protect [[Ai Haibara]] from the Black Organization and Bourbon in accordance with the promise he made with Akemi. He also helped Conan with assorted cases, and kept an eye on his FBI comrades.

== History ==
Ten year ago Akai as meet Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri, with his family at the beach.

Five years prior to the current time-line, [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the [[Black Organization]] using the alias Dai Moroboshi as a mole and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], a low-ranking members, in order to meet [[Shiho Miyano]] and use her influence to get into the Black Organization.<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> Although at first he was simply using Akemi as a tool, they both fell in love with each other. During at least one mission four years ago he was assigned to work with the members Scotch and Bourbon. At one point Scotch was killed, and since then there has been animosity between Bourbon and Akai. Eventually Akai distinguished himself as an agent and two years prior to the current time-line received the codename Rye and was called to work under executive agent [[Gin]]. The FBI laid a trap hoping to capture Gin at a warehouse where the meeting was supposed to take place,<ref name=599p9/> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>

One year ago Akai was spotted in New York City chasing after [[Vermouth]] who was disguised as a serial killer. After the death of [[Akemi Miyano]] he cut his hair. When the FBI had discovered that Vermouth had returned to Japan, Akai followed suit along with [[Jodie Starling]] and [[James Black]]. He seems focused on capturing Gin, who he has nicknamed "Koibito-kun" due to his role in Akemi's death.

=== Bus Jack (Manga: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|287-289]], Anime: [[The Mysterious Passenger|230-231]]) ===
[[File:Akai First Appearance.PNG|thumb|right|125px|Akai's first appearance on the bus]]
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], and the [[Detective Boys]] board a bus headed to a ski resort. Akai gets on the bus wearing a face mask in order to tail [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Vermouth]] who is disguised as Dr. [[Tomoaki Araide]]. The bus is hijacked by robbers and Conan discovers they must have an accomplice in the back row where Shuichi Akai is sitting. At one point the robbers call Akai and Dr. Araide up to the front to put on the hijackers' ski jackets. Conan ruins the hijackers' plans by directing the bus driver to slam on the brakes, so the hijackers crash to the floor. Akai attacks one of the hijackers but is confused when the robber faceplants before he could strike: Conan's tranquilizer dart got him first. The police move in to apprehend the hijackers and Akai watches as Araide accosts Conan for wanting to leave before having the gash on his arm tended. Before moving out, Akai records a message saying he couldn't find Vermouth's target, [[Shiho Miyano]].<ref>It is clear Akai is looking for Shiho Miyano, Vermouth's target, because the FBI already know Araide is Vermouth at this point in time and don't need to look for her.</ref>

After the bus jacking, [[Haibara]] tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is Shuichi Akai whose behavior seemed suspicious.<ref name=291p11>Manga Volume 29, File 7, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"</ref>

=== James Black Kidnapping (Manga: [[Volume 32#Kidnapped Tourist Case|325-327]], Anime: [[The Man from Chicago|258-259]]) ===
[[File:Akai's happy face.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Akai leers at the kidnappers.]]
[[James Black]] plans to meet with Akai in a stadium lobby after the Paul & Annie animal circus show. Akai and James probably haven't met in a while because James doesn't know Akai cut his previously waist length hair. He was unable to meet with Akai at first because he was accosted by reporters but is saved by the Detective Boys. James is then mistakenly kidnapped by criminals who plan to ransom him. Akai, who was looking for him, drives past the Detective Boys. As a former member of the Black Organization, Akai's gaze triggers Haibara's senses, and she whips around asking if Conan saw who was driving the Chevrolet truck.

Somehow, Akai figures out where James is and catches up to the kidnappers and begins following it. Akai quickly zooms ahead when Conan and the police force the kidnappers' car to stop. Akai drives by Agasa's car and looks in, and Conan notices and shields Haibara from his view. In the confusion of the aftermath, James leaves with Akai before he could be questioned by the police. He points out that Akai has cut his hair. Then he retells the events of the kidnapping and asks if Akai brought him to Japan to "make (Akai's) lover come back to (Akai)" Akai affirms this and says that he wants "his lover (koibito-san) to regret they ever left me with tears of blood."<ref name=327p18>Manga Volume 32, File 10, page 18: "A Stupid Plan"</ref>. Akai's "lover" is a reference to the ironic codename he gave Gin: "koibito" meaning lover.

=== Sato's Matchup (Manga: [[Volume 32#Sato.27s Omiai Case|328]]-[[Volume 33#Sato.27s Omiai Case|330]], Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4|253-254]]) ===
Ran notices Akai leave the restaurant where [[Miwako Sato]] was having her [[Wikipedia:Miai|Omiai]] with officer [[Shiratori]]. Akai had come to check on on Dr. Araide who is really [[Vermouth]] in disguise. Ran realizes she met him somewhere once before, but she cannot remember where.<ref name=329p14>Manga Volume 33, File 1, page 14: "Satou's Odds"</ref>

=== Bloody Valentine (Manga: [[Volume 33#Valentine Chocolate Case|331-334]], Anime: [[The Truth Behind Valentine's|266-268]]) ===
Later, at a chocolate-making cottage, one of the suspects says he shot at a tall man wearing a black beanie thinking he was a bear. Ran says she might know the person in the black knitted hat and Conan wonders if she means Akai.<ref name=333p2>Manga Volume 33, File 5, Page 2: "The Bloody Valentine 3"</ref> He later starts to ask her about it, but changes his mind mid-sentence.<ref name=337p17>Manga Volume 33, File 9, Page 17: "Life of a Flower"</ref>

=== The Life of a Flower (Manga: [[Volume 33#Missing Watch Case|335-337]], Anime: [[The Forgotten Memento from the Crime|269-270]]) ===
[[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.<ref name=336p9>Manga Volume 33, File 8, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"</ref> Conan begins to wonder who the target is and first suspects Akai may be behind the incident because of the timing. He wonders if Akai is a Black Organization member. He tries calling the Mouri Detective Agency, but nobody picks up. When Conan rushes back, he finds the items in the kitchen left unsupervised and the television on. Just when Conan begins to fear that Akai has taken care of Ran and Kogoro, he is relieved to find out that Ran had only gone out to buy meat. He again tries to ask Ran whether she she knows Akai, but changes his mind by shifting his sentence, thinking there is no way Ran would know a guy like Akai. Unknown to Conan, Akai is staking out the Mouri Detective Agency.<ref name=337p18>Manga Volume 33, File 9, Page 18: "Life of a Flower"</ref>

=== The Rotten Apple Case (Manga: [[Volume 34#Golden Apple Case|350]]-[[Volume 35#Golden Apple Case|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]]) ===
[[Image:Shuuichi Akai long hair.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shuichi Akai in New York with his longer hair.]]
One year prior to the current timeline, Shinichi, Ran, [[Yukiko]], Akai, and Vermouth are in America. After leaving Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran at the theater, Sharon Vineyard, aka, Vermouth, disguises as a silver haired serial killer to lure out Shuichi Akai and kill him. Vermouth underestimates Akai and he shoots her in the side. Vermouth escapes, but Akai continues to look for her. During the search, Akai encounters a crying Ran who is waiting in the rain by a taxi for Shinichi to return. The taxi driver and Ran both initially mistake Akai for the serial killer, and the taxi drives off leaving Ran behind. Akai asks Ran if she saw a man with long silver hair. One of Akai's colleagues comes up to ask Akai if he found the serial killer and Ran sees the FBI logo on his jacket. Akai grabs her elbow to take her from the area, but she resists because Shinichi is still around. Akai harshly orders Ran to leave the area as it is dangerous.<ref>Manga Chapter 354: Golden Apple 5</ref>

=== Meeting with Ran (Manga: [[Volume 37#Footsteps of Darkness|379-380]], Anime: [[On the Trail of a Silent Witness|308]]-[[Contact with the Black Organization|309]]) ===
[[File:Ran and Akai meet.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Ran and Akai meet coincidentally in the street.]]
Conan and Ran are walking home from the Itakura case. Ran talks to Conan about how it is hard waiting for Shinichi to return and begins to cry. They approach a phone booth and Akai steps out. Ran and Akai recognize one another.
{{Cquote|Akai: You are crying again... You are always crying. Ran: Is it wrong? Akai: No. ... I was just remembering. You remind me of a [[Akemi Miyano|woman]]... One who was always crying in the dark trying to sound casual, a stupid woman.|The conversation between Akai and Ran at the phonebooth|Manga Chapter 380: "White Snow, Black Shadow"}}
Conan is surprised Ran and Akai seem to know each other and asks Ran who Akai is. Ran replies with the story of her meeting with Akai in New York. She mentions she saw him with a man with in an FBI jacket. Akai has walked away in the meanwhile and Conan loses sight of him. Conan is surprised at this new information and wonders what the FBI could be doing in Japan. He also considers the possibility that Shuichi Akai is a Black Organization spy in the FBI and killed the serial killer in New York and might be involved with Haibara's past.

=== Contact with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume 38#Footsteps of Darkness|383]], Anime: [[Contact with the Black Organization|311]]) ===
Haibara finds Conan passed out in a locker at Kenbashi Station. As they leave, Akai sees Haibara close up and immediately recognizes her. Akai's focus caused Haibara to sense his presence and she spins around in fear, but he has already retreated and she doesn't catch sight of him.

=== Following Yukiko (Manga: [[Volume 41#Dark and Cluttered Room Case|417-419]], Anime: [[Secret of the Tohto Film Development Studio|335-336]]) ===
Shuichi Akai, suspicious that Haibara is Shiho, asks two subordinates to follow [[Yukiko]] who is driving the Detective Boys to a film studio to see a preview showing of [[Kamen Yaiba]]. The two people take several pictures, one of which Akai keeps in his truck after this. Conan and Yukiko notice the two are following. They continue to wait in the film developer's parking lot until Takagi asks them if they have been drinking at Conan's request. They report to Akai that they are unable to follow any more. Akai looks at the newly developed pictures they gave to him and he thinks Haibara's resemblance to Shiho Miyano is too similar to ignore.

=== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume 41#Four Porsches Case|420-422]], Anime: [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ===
While driving, Akai sees Conan on TV broadcast waiting in line to get porridge. He quickly heads towards the direction of the shopping center where Conan is. When he arrives, a murder had already been committed in the underground parking lot and the police have arrived. Agasa calls Araide to pick up Haibara, and Akai overhears the conversation through the bugs planted in Araide's office. He follows Jodie and Araide to Agasa's house and waits out front listening in to the bugs Jodie just planted at Agasa's.

=== Showdown with Vermouth (Manga: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===
[[File:Akai with shotgun.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Akai shoots Vermouth to protect himself and Jodie]]
Conan and Jodie confront Vermouth and reveal her disguise. During the confrontation, Jodie is shot by [[Calvados]], a sniper who was hidden on some shipping crates. Calvados also attempts to shoot Ran who rushed to Haibara in order to shield her from the gunfire. Akai, unseen, sneaks from behind and disables Calvados, silently breaking both his legs and taking his rifle, shotgun, and three pistols. Akai walks around the shipping crates towards Jodie and Vermouth's location. Vermouth mistakes the incoming footsteps for Calvados and orders him to kill Jodie. Vermouth is shocked when it is Akai who walks into view. Akai then begins provoking Vermouth:
{{Cquote|Akai: Well, Calvados is a distilled liquor of apples... where he goes perfectly for the accomplice of the rotten apple. Vermouth: Rotten apple? Akai: That's our codename for you. The famous actress who bathed in the limelight was the golden apple of the stage. Your beauty is the same as before but... inside your heart has become a wilted rotten apple|Akai insulting Vermouth|Manga Volume 42, File 10 , pg 10}}

Provoked by his remark, Vermouth attempts to shoot him, but Akai fires the shotgun first into her flak jacket, breaking several of her ribs and tearing Vermouth's face slightly which proves that she isn't wearing a mask. To escape, Vermouth grabs the unconscious Conan as a hostage and roars away in Jodie's car. To prevent them from following, she aims with the side mirror and shoots Araide's car's gas tank, causing it to explode
{{Cquote|Akai: To shoot the gasoline tank using the mirror and with that body is... not bad. Jodie: What are you being impressed for!? She just got away with a hostage!|Jodie and Akai's conversation about Vermouth's getaway with [[Conan]] as a hostage|Manga Volume 42 , File 10 , pg 12}}
Akai comments that they at least have her accomplice Calvados, but at that moment, Calvados commits suicide with a pocket pistol that Akai overlooked. Akai hears the police sirens and tells Jodie to make up a story about randomly getting involved in a kidnapping case. Akai's parting words to Jodie are that he still isn't ready to face Haibara, likely referring to his use of Haibara's sister, [[Akemi Miyano]], to infiltrate the Black Organization which resulted in her being killed when they uncovered that he was a spy.

=== Black Impact (Manga: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|499]]-[[Volume 49#Black Organization vs FBI|504]], Anime: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|425]]) ===
[[Image:Akai sniping.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Akai with a sniper rifle aiming at the Black Organization 700 yards away.]]
Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan help newscaster [[Rena Mizunashi]] with a door bell prank case. In order to catch the prankster, Conan sticks a bug and microphone wrapped in gum outside the door. The case is solved, but Conan forgets the bug and it gets stuck on Rena's shoe. Unfortunately Conan discovers Rena is a member of the Black Organization, [[Kir]], and she is participating in an [[Black Organization#Domon Yasudera|assassination mission]]. Conan has to retrieve the tracker before the Black Organization notices and suspects that Kogoro planted it. Jodie Starling contacts Akai and tells him about the predicament, but doesn't say what he will do to help. James Black comments that Akai was always the reticent type, but has closed up even more since the death of his girlfriend (later revealed to be [[Akemi Miyano]]).

After hearing a lot of static on their radios, Gin looks for the cause of the interference and finds Conan's tracker on Kir's shoe which had been left in his car when she changed clothes. With the boss's approval, Gin abandons the original assassination plans and heads towards the Mouri Detective Agency to kill Kogoro. Conan stops Kogoro from being assassinated, but Gin still has Conan's tracker which has his fingerprints on it. As Gin holds it up for a closer look, it is shot out from between his fingers by Akai who had set up with a sniper rifle on a building 700 yards away.
[[Image:Gin sniped.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Gin is shot by Akai.]]
Gin, perhaps anticipating who would be responsible, grabs Korn's rifle and uses it to locate Shuichi Akai. At this time, Akai fires a bullet that passes through Gin's scope and grazes his left cheek causing it to bleed. At this time Akai says "we finally meet, my lovely, lovely koibito-san".<ref name=504p14>Manga Volume 49, File 4, pg 14: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref> Gosho Aoyama uses a Japanese literary device to give the word "koibito" a double meaning. Japanese in Detective Conan includes the pronunciation, called "[[wiki:furigana|furigana]]", in [[wiki:hiragana|hiragana]] next to the [[wiki:kanji|kanji]]. Normally the furigana matches the word in the kanji; however, Gosho Aoyama used the kanji for "old enemy" (宿敵), but the furigana for "koibito" (こいびと), giving Akai's word a double meaning. The true meaning of what Akai meant is "old enemy", but what he said out loud was the furigana "koibito". Akai had ironically nicknamed Gin "loved one" despite thinking of him as his arch enemy. By grazing Gin's cheek, Akai fulfilled his promise he made at the end of the James Black Kidnapping to make his "lover" bleed tears of blood.

Akai then fired twice into Gin's bullet proof vest to encourage him to leave quietly, purposefully avoiding killing Gin although he was capable of finishing him. Akai's stated reason for letting Gin and the rest of the Black Organization members go was to avoid having a gunfight erupt in the middle of Beika city where innocent people might be injured.<ref name=504p17>Manga Volume 49, File 4, pg 17: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref> Despite Gin's reservations, Akai also successfully made the Black Organization think that the FBI was behind the tracker, and that Kogoro had been the bait to draw them into Akai's range.

=== Kir in the hospital (Manga: [[Volume 53#Giant Hammer Case|550]], Anime: [[The Shadow of the Black Organization|462]]) ===
The FBI discuss what to do with Mizunashi Rena. Akai wants to use her as bait to trap the Black Organization and points out her her name is a pun on "007", James Bond's code number. <ref>Manga Volume 53, File 7</ref>

=== Red vs. Black (Manga: [[Volume 57#Fake Patient Case|595]]-[[Volume 59#Foreign Suspect Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-504]]) ===
Eventually, following the capture of Organization member [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]], Akai was introduced to Conan, and the two worked on a plan to re-introduce Rena, who was in fact a CIA mole, back into the ranks of the Organization. One condition of her reintegration, however, was that she should personally kill Akai, who had been declared the Organization's most dangerous enemy. Mizunashi lured him to an isolated spot for a meeting and shot him at point-blank range before incinerating his truck with a bomb.

==== The Fake Patient (Manga: [[Volume 57#Fake Patient Case|595]]-[[Volume 58#Fake Patient Case|598]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-497]]) ====
After hearing that [[Eisuke]] has zeroed in on Haido Central Hospital after finding a clue, Conan and Jodie discuss [[Ethan Hondou]]. Jodie says Akai verified Ethan Hondou was a CIA agent. Conan asks Ran more about the clue Eisuke found and discovers that it was someone dialing the [[Anokata|Black Organization's boss's phone number]]. Jodie reports to Akai that a member of the Black Organization has infiltrated the hospital. Akai takes the news in stride and goes to Rena's room. He already suspects Rena is a member of the CIA as well, and wants to use her to gain more leverage against the Organization.

Conan asks one of the nurses about Eisuke and she tells Conan about a different patient, a member of the Black Organization, who had asked about Rena Mizunashi. Akai seems pleased to hear the news, and thinks it is a good opportunity to add a second lead. The FBI gets profiles of three patients most likely to be the Black Organization member and Conan films them. Akai and Conan both correctly deduce the member of the Black Organization hiding in the hospital is [[Kusuda Rikumichi]]. The FBI watch Kusuda, but get caught and he threatens to blow up a bomb. Kusuda escapes in a car with Akai and Conan in hot pursuit. After realizing it is Akai who is chasing him, Kusuda commits suicide. Akai knows that now Kusuda's reports have stopped, the Black Organization will know Rena is at the Haido Central Hospital and plan a counter-attack.

==== The Black Organization's counterattack (Manga: [[Volume 58#Kir Transport Case|599-605]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|498-503]]) ====
The FBI hold a meeting and decide that they have to move Kir now that the Black Organization knows she is at Haido Central Hospital. Akai proposes that the best idea is to set a trap for the Organization by allowing them to come after Kir and then ambushing them. Akai heads to the roof alone to think of a plan. Conan takes the opportunity to ask James Black about Akai's past. James reveals that Akai wants revenge for his girlfriend who was killed by the Organization. Akai had infiltrated the Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi by dating Miyano Akemi in order to get close to a [[Sherry|high ranking scientist]], feed information to the FBI, and hopefully learn the identity of [[anokata|the boss]].<ref>Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past</ref> Dai earned the codename "Rye" and was called to work for [[Gin]], but the FBI bungled the plan to capture Gin, so Akai was discovered and expelled from the Organization. James Black further explains that the Organization wanted to get rid of Akemi too, but couldn't because her sister was too valuable to them. The Organization came up with a plan to have Akemi perform [[Volume 2#File 013 - The Missing Man|a billion yen bank heist]] as an excuse to kill her when she failed. Contrary to the Org's expectations, Akemi succeeded but was killed by Gin regardless. Akai has kept the last text message from Akemi asking if Akai will date her for real if she leaves the Organization. There is a further P.S. that has not been revealed.

Conan and Akai meet on the roof and exchange plans. Their first move is to get Kir's cooperation. Akai and Conan trick the FBI officers on guard to leave Kir's room which provides an opportunity for Eisuke to sneak in and "wake the sleeping princess". With Eisuke's provocation, Kir stops pretending that she is unconscious. Conan and Akai enter the room, and Akai escorts Eisuke out so that they can convince Kir to return to Organization. Akai and Conan answer Kir's questions about how they found out she was a CIA agent and she fills them in on her past. Kir agrees to their plan to trick the Organization and promises to funnel information back to the FBI as well. Akai calls [[Andre Camel]] to help with their secret plan which requires also fooling the FBI who don't yet know Kir is a CIA agent.

The FBI plans to put Rena in one of three vans and trick the Organization into chasing one of the decoys while the van with Kir in it is driven by Camel back to hospital. Meanwhile, the Organization launches their counterattack. They cause three separate accidents nearby to flood the hospital with people and then give them gifts with small bombs hidden inside. Akai suspects they may be trying to kill Kir by detonating the bombs and collapsing the hospital. Akai and the FBI collect the bombs from the innocent patients, but are startled when the TV starts airing an announcement from Mizunashi Rena in the hospital. Akai and Conan realize the bombs have tracking devices embedded in them, but they aren't fast enough to stop the rest of the FBI agents from going to Kir's room.

With the location of Kir's room exposed, the FBI launch the three van plan without delay. Akai in his Chevrolet follows one of the vans from a distance and he is eventually found by Vermouth who had been assigned by the boss to look for him. Gin correctly deduces which van Kir is in and recaptures her all according to Conan and Akai's plan. The FBI are at first very dismayed they failed, but then Akai explains the plan to them and that they were left out of the loop in order to make the Organization believe they were not set up. Gin, however, is suspicious that Akai didn't interfere more strongly when they recaptured Kir and that Akai may have something else up his sleeve.

==== Death at Raiha Pass (Manga: [[Volume 58#Foreign Suspect Case|605-609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|501-504]]) ====
Gin is suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi didn't make a strong move. Gin thinks Shuichi is still hiding something and that doubt is relayed to [[anokata|the boss]] who plans a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. Shuichi is somewhat amused at the predicament, and Jodie plans to go to Andre Camel and bail him out. As Jodie leaves, Shuichi calls out to her and says he has a bad feeling about today, and that she should be careful. Jodie notes it is Friday the thirteenth.

The Black Organization takes advantage of the distraction provided by Andre Camel's murder case, and Gin meets with Kir and conveys [[the Boss of the Black Organization|the boss's]] ultimatum: Kir must kill Shuichi in order to regain the Organization's trust. Gin explains that Kir will call out Shuichi with the excuse that she wants to flee the country because the Organization is pressuring her after she was caught by the FBI. Shuichi will take the bait if Kir says she will give him good information. When she meets with him alone, Kir will kill Shuichi while wearing a camera and bug. Gin will be watching out of range of Shuichi's acute sense for traps. With Gin's gun at her back, Kir calls Shuichi.

At the murder case, Jodie meets up with Camel and their discussion turns to Camel's mistake which caused Shuichi to be rejected from the Organization two years ago. Camel explains that Shuichi had just been promoted, and the FBI planned to capture Gin who was set to meet with Shuichi. The FBI hid in the warehouse waiting for Gin, but instead an old man walked in and sat down. Shuichi ignored the old man, but Camel came out from hiding and told the old man to leave. The old man turned out to be a member of the Organization, and Gin never showed. This lead to a chain of events leading to Shuichi's girlfriend [[Akemi Miyano]]'s death almost two years later. Camel, who felt most responsible, felt obligated to take the role of driver for the plan to return Kir.

Meanwhile Shuichi, sitting in his truck, remembers some of the last moments he had with Akemi. Shuichi revealed to her that he was an FBI agent. She seemed to already know, prompting Shuichi to desperately ask her why she didn't get away from him. Akemi's simple tearful reply was, "Can't you tell without asking?" Shuichi is brought back to present by [[James Black]] telling him that his phone is ringing. Kir is on the other end, and relays Gin's concocted story and asks to meet Shuichi alone. James's impression is that the meeting with Rena is likely a trap and that Shuichi shouldn't go. Shuichi confidently says that he is sure his sixth sense will work and that he will trust Rena to have some way out of the situation. James starts to call Jodie as support but, the confidently grinning Shuichi stops James from dialing and asks for his trust. The meeting location is set at 19:00 at the seventh left curve of Raiha falls and Shuichi heads out.

[[File:Kir kills Akai.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kir kills the 'Silver-bullet'.]]
Shuichi arrives at the meeting place where Kir is waiting from the other side after scouting out ahead. Kir shoots Shuichi in the lung as Gin and Vodka watch from across the gorge via Kir's collar camera. Blood trickling from his mouth, Shuichi turns and sees their Porsche and smirks to himself. Kir tells Gin he will die soon from the lung shot, but Gin orders that Kir makes his death certain by shooting Shuichi in the head. As Kir walks up to him, Shuichi seems to accept his impending doom with great calm.<ref>Manga Chapters 605-608: Foreign Suspect Case</ref> He calmly remarks that he didn't think that she would go this far, to which she agrees. Kir shoots Shuichi in the forehead, with blood cascading from both sides of his head. Shuichi collapses in the front seat of his truck. At that moment the police on the way to an accident begin to approach and Gin orders Kir to place a bomb and blow Shuichi's truck up with the body. Kir plants the bomb and leaves. It detonates just as the police pass by. The ensuing explosion and fire destroys most of the body but the right hand fingerprints survive.

Jodie and Camel leave the murder case as the police finish wrapping it up return the the hospital where the FBI meet. James announces that Kir set up a meeting alone with Shuichi and the a news program begins reporting on a truck that exploded with a body inside whose right hand fingerprints remain intact. Jodie wonders if it is Shuichi, and takes Conan's phone which Shuichi had touched earlier with his right hand to the police. The fingerprint results are a match, Jodie reports the news to James and then breaks down crying. James remarks that they can't blame Rena Mizunashi for this as she had warned them. He sadly comments that with Shuichi, they managed to drive a wedge of steel in the Black Organization, but his death was a price far too big.

==== Faked Death ====
{{main|Akai's fake death technique}}
Akai fakes his death with Conan and Rena Mizunashi's help. Blank cartridges and blood packets with small detonators are used to simulate gunshots. When Kir moves to the front of Akai's truck to prepare the bomb, it creates a gap of time where Gin and Vodka cannot see Akai's body with Kir's camera. At this time, Akai switches places with [[Rikumichi Kusuda]]'s body which had been dressed up beforehand to look like Akai. Akai escapes the truck before it explodes. Meanwhile, Conan loans Jodie Starling one of his identical cellphones which has Rikumichi's fingerprints on it. She will think they are Akai's because Akai had touched Conan's phone earlier with fingertips protected by glue to avoid leaving any prints. When she goes to validate the identity of the body with the police, the fingerprints will match Rikumichi's and she will be fooled into thinking Akai died.

After Akai faked his death, he developed a disguised persona with [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s help. As '''[[Subaru Okiya]]''', he sought to protect Haibara from the Black Organization and the new threat from Bourbon in accordance with the promise he made with Akemi. He also helped Conan with assorted cases, and kept an eye on his FBI comrades. {{clear}}

=== Red, white, and yellow arson case (Manga: [[Volume 60#Red, White, and Yellow Case|622-624]], Anime: [[Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys|509]]-[[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|510]]) ===
[[Image:Okiya burnt apartment.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Subaru Okiya standing in front of the remains of his burnt apartment talking with [[Inspector Yuminaga]].]]
After school, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] receives a phone call from [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] who tells him that the Black Organization has activated a new member codenamed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]. Meanwhile, the [[Detective Boys]] receive a request from their classmate, Kaito Suigiura, to investigate the actions of a strange man at his father's apartment building which is close to [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house.<ref>Based on the Japanese address system, the houses are very close. Okiya's previous apartment was at Beika city district 2 #23A. Agasa's address is Beika city district 2 #22. Shinichi's house address is Beika city district 2 21B. Basically, Okiya's apartment is going to be across in the adjacent block of houses across a little street. The Okiya's apt isn't marked on [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/images/8/8d/Conandrillmap.jpg the map of Beika city], but it should be on the same chunk of buildings that Shinichi's and Agasa's house are (i.e. not separated by a major road as that would change the city district number i.e Mouri agency is city district 5).</ref> The next day the Detective Boys find that the apartment has been burned down. Subaru Okiya first appeared as one of the suspects in this arson case. When [[Inspector Yuminaga]] introduces the detective boys to the suspects, Okiya gives [[Ai Haibara]] the chills which she only gets from those who have been in the Black Organization, although she isn't sure who is responsible at the time and the feeling of pressure unexpectedly disappears.

The revelation that Kaito Suigiura's diary describes a suspicious "yellow" tenant who had argued with the landlord the night the apartment was burnt down leads to the police to question the three suspects about their alibis at the time of the arson as well as their favorite color. Subaru Okiya's alibi was that he was driving alone that night long the verdant Teimuzu river to clear his head after submitting a paper to his professor. Although he likes the greenery of plants, Okiya declared that his favorite is black, "because it covers things inside me that I don't want known", although he hates the color for the same reason.

Conan and Subaru Okiya seem to hit it off when Okiya recognizes Conan quote a line from Sir AC Doyle's "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches". After Conan solves the case, Okiya asks to meet Professor Agasa. After introducing himself, Okiya asks Professor Agasa if he could stay for at his house until he finds another place to live, offering to help Agasa with his research in the spare time. Agasa consents, as long as Haibara also agrees, but Haibara strongly refuses. Conan chimes in offering Shinichi's house, saying that Shinichi has gone missing all of a sudden and Conan will tell Shinichi later that Okiya moved in. Conan overrules Haibara's concerns that the Org may find out through Okiya that Shinichi is still alive by simply saying, "A Holmes fan can't be a bad person!" Conan gives Okiya the key along with the request to take care of the place while he (Shinichi) is gone and Okiya agrees.

=== Paper airplane case (Manga: [[Volume 61#Paper Airplane Case|638-640]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|510]]-[[Deduction Showdown! Shinichi vs. Subaru Okiya|511]]) ===
[[Image:Episode 510-Okiya-Ran.jpg‎|thumb|right|200px|[[Ran Mouri]] greets Subaru Okiya with a kick to the face after mistaking him for a robber.]]
Ran and Sonoko visit Shinichi's house to clean up unaware that Okiya is living there, and they confront him thinking he is a thief. Okiya fails to explain fast enough and winds up on the receiving end of Ran's karate kick. Conan calls Ran to explain that Okiya has been living in the house after the fire and warns her not to talk about Shinichi in front of him. After the two girls apologize, Okiya correctly deduces they had been to "Welcome Burger" earlier. Okiya makes a strong impression on Sonoko, while Ran thinks "he looks like someone" and she had met him before.

=== Sports Car Arson Case (Manga: [[Volume 61#Sports Car Arson Case|635-637]], Anime: [[The Blue Spark of Hate|524-525]]) ===
Conan and Agasa are quick to view Okiya as a resource, seen in the Rolls Royce explosion case where Agasa suggests calling Okiya to bring gasoline when his beetle runs out in a remote location, and later in the same case where Conan secretly asks for his help to set up a trap to trick the culprit into confessing. Okiya secretly watches Conan's plan to trick the culprit into confessing in action.

[[Image:Paper airplane okiya.jpg‎|thumb|left|200px|Subaru Okiya figuring out the paper airplane message.]]
Sonoko then concocts a deduction battle between Okiya and Shinichi to see who can solve the mystery of the paper airplane first. Shinichi and Subaru prove to be equally skilled although neither know they are competing against one another. During the detective showdown, Okiya overhears Sonoko talking about Shinichi's deductions and asks this Shinichi is also the landlord of the house. Ran, thinking of Conan's warning not to talk about Shinichi to Okiya, interrupts Sonoko to say they are consulting one "Kinichi" and that the landlord Shinichi has no special deduction ability. Okiya easily sees through the lie and reveals he had looked around the house but found no personally identifying items. Sonoko and Ran leave to find another paper airplane and Okiya is left to ponder over the landlord.

The deduction battle continues with Okiya and Conan matching each others' deductions perfectly. With the case solved, Okiya suggests that he will leave calling the police up to Ran and Sonoko because they have police acquaintances, revealing he knows something of the backgrounds of the girls and their connections. When the pair leaves, Okiya celebrates the successful resolution of the case with a Sherlock Holmes story and a glass of bourbon.

=== Ikkaku rock (Manga: [[Volume 64#Ikkaku Rock Case|664-666]], Anime: [[Ikkaku Rock's Disappearing Fish|542-543]]) ===
[[Image:Okiya rescues Haibara.jpg‎|thumb|right|200px|Subaru Okiya stops [[Ai Haibara]] from slipping off a dock.]]
Okiya's next appearance occurs when he comes at the request of Professor Agasa to pick up the Detective Boys who had gone fishing. Haibara is again suspicious of him, but Conan brushes her feelings aside. Okiya stops Haibara from slipping and offers to cook the Detective Boys' fish. When the Detective Boys stop at an island called Ikkaku Rock, Okiya Subaru takes a group photo. The gang stumble into a dead woman who appeared to have gotten lost and died on accident, but Okiya and Conan quickly recognize that she was deliberately abandoned to die. When Inspector [[Jugo Yokomizo]] tried to prevent the Detective Boys from questioning the suspects, Okiya stepped in, pointing out that sometimes a child's perspective can be the hint that unlocks the truth and, "Weren't there a number of cases that were solved as a result of some hint from these children?" revealing he knows about the Detective Boys' many prior successes.<ref name=665p13>Manga Volume 64, File 2, pg 13: "Mackerel, Carp, Sea Bream, Flounder"</ref> Indeed, with such a hint from Mitsuhiko and Haibara, Conan and Okiya simultaneously realize who the culprit is. After they took turns explaining the case, the culprit pulled out a knife and grabbed [[Ayumi Yoshida]] as a hostage. Conan didn't have any gadgets to help him. At that moment, Haibara felt a menacing aura from Okiya, and he slowly approached the criminal, saying he couldn't escape and even if he did, could he bear the pressure and loneliness of hiding in fear of someone uncovering his identity? The provoked criminal removed the knife from Ayumi's neck and lunged at Okiya. In one effortless movement, Okiya knocked the criminal's knife away and took Ayumi from his grasp. Despite his rescue, the malicious pressure Okiya emitted and his words left a strong impression on Haibara who is certain he is one of the Black Organization members.
Note: In the anime version, an extra scene has been added, in which Okiya is seen reading books under the moonlight while drinking a glass of bourbon and smiling. The scene ends with Haibara watching the Kudo House from Agasa´s with a preoccupied expression.

=== A Dangerous Couple (Manga: [[Volume 65#Dangerous Couple Case|680]], Anime: [[A Dangerous Party of Two|557]]) ===
Later, Haibara, who had gone with Professor Agasa on a trip because she did not want to be alone while Okiya was around, demanded that Conan find some excuse to kick Okiya out of Shinichi's house. She explained to Conan that she thinks Conan is keeping him around and using her as bait in order to spy on him. Conan replies that he thinks Okiya is a good man and as for using Haibara as bait, "I-Idiot, you think I would do that!?"<ref name=680p5>Manga Volume 65, File 6, pg 5: "A Dangerous Couple"</ref>

=== Haunted Warehouse (Manga: [[Volume 66#Haunted Warehouse Case|691]], Anime: [[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|572]]) ===
Conan calls Agasa and finds out he invited Subaru Okiya over to cook because Haibara was out. Agasa says Okiya is a pretty good cook.

[[Image:Okiya Jodie.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Subaru Okiya knocks [[Jodie Starling]] over to prevent her from catching up with [[Scar Akai]].]]
[[Jodie Starling]] visits the [[Setting#Beika Department Store|Beika Department Store]], the origin of [[Scar Akai]]'s cap, to look for clues about him. Okiya follows her there. Subaru Okiya, along with Scar Akai and Conan, is then trapped on one of the department store floors by a bomber demanding to find the sender of thirteen red shirts. Meanwhile the [[Black Organization]] has heard that someone who looks like Akai appeared at the department store. [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] park outside the department store with the snipers [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to wait for Scar Akai.

Back on the bombed floor, Subaru Okiya takes an interest in the red shirts case. He solves the flag semaphore message and deduces it has to do with an incident in the mountains. Okiya then sees Scar Akai in the crowd and ducks away before scar Akai could spot him, and smiles mysteriously. Okiya goes to the windows out front and spies [[Gin]]'s Porsche and [[Chianti]] who has set up in a hotel across the street.

Conan tranquilizes [[Kogoro Mouri]] to begin his deduction show just as Kogoro receives an anonymous text message containing a mostly complete solution to the case from Scar Akai. After the case is over, [[Andre Camel]] reveals to Jodie the Black Organization are waiting outside with a sniper. Jodie rushes after scar Akai to stop him from being killed, but is prevented from reaching him by Okiya who knocks her over.

To prevent Scar Akai from being shot, Conan stirs the crowd up by lying that the store is giving out 10,000 yen gift cards. Okiya confronts Conan, who is surprised to see him, and introduces himself to Kogoro Mouri. He reveals that he was trapped on the bombed floor and tells Conan he was in the area because he visited the [[Scar Akai#Teito Bank Heist|Teito bank]] and followed Conan when he saw Conan enter the Beika Dept store. He leaves Conan with the mysterious quote:

{{cquote|Remember how there was a robbery at that bank? There was someone I knew in the footage from that robbery, so I was trying to find out if they use that bank. If that person uses it, they must live nearby. I was hoping to run into them.... Well, coincidentally they were also on this floor, but it turned out to be a look-alike, so I didn't say anything. I know that person from a long time ago, so there is no way I would mistake them with a look-alike.|File 704 pg 16|Subaru Okiya}}

Okiya comes to rescue Conan and the Detective Boys who had been trapped by kidnappers in a building. Okiya thought they had encountered trouble when he noticed that no lights came on at Agasa's house after dark, and when he went over to inspect, the front door was unlocked, nobody was there, and two suspicious phone calls arrived. Okiya uses a spare pair of Conan's tracking glasses in order to find the Detective Boys, proving he knows about the function of Conan's tracking glasses and that they lock onto the detective badges.<ref name=755p14>Chapter 755 page 14: Communications Code</ref> Conan has never used the tracking glasses in front of Okiya before. Okiya knocks out one of the kidnappers, but tells the Detective Boys that the robber fell down the stairs. When Haibara questions why he had been paying so much attention to Agasa's house, Okiya tells her he wanted to give them some extra curry he had made for lunch.

=== Ayumi Kidnapping Case (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-776]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]]) ===
[[Masumi Sera]] stops [[Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko]] outside of Agasa's house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa's. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to the two detective boys about the [[Masumi_Sera#Kogoro_Detective_Agency_Hostage_Crisis_.28Manga_771-774.29|prior hostage case]]. Sera asks who is living in the Kudo house now because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The detective boys tell her that Subaru Okiya has been staying there since his apartment burnt down.
[[Image:Okiya776.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Subaru hearing Conan's conversation.]]
Sera cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, "And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing..." while looking up at where Okiya Subaru is hiding and secretly observing the conversation.

Later, after Genta ruins Agasa's curry, Okiya secretly follows the detective boys on an errand to buy new ingredients. He tails the detective boys rather closely; Haibara, who is wearing a hat, seems determined not to acknowledge his presence. He stops and looks over his shoulder to watch a car that parked on a side street. The car pulls out of sight and Okiya turns away and continues on, but soon enough car reverses back into its former position. Okiya is later seen in the grocery store, and he worriedly watches Conan and Haibara dash out of the grocery store after hearing that Sera saw Haibara's reflection in Agasa's glasses in an online video. Okiya follows the detective boys back and listens into Conan's conversation at Agasa's via an earpiece while watching on the professor's house from one of the Kudo household's upper story windows.

[[Image:Okiya frightens Haibara.jpg‎‎|thumb|right|200px|Okiya frightens Haibara as he determines to stop the culprit.]]
Okiya appears at Haibara and Agasa's house and goes with them in [[Vehicles#Subaru 360|his car]] to save Conan who had been kidnapped. During the chase, Okiya uses the phrase "Don't make that kind of face", to reassure Haibara that he will definitely catch up to Conan. When he pulls up behind the suspect's car, he leans out the driver's side and puts his hand in his jacket, likely to pull out a handgun to shoot out the suspect's tires. Okiya aborts this plan when [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] pulls up alongside him and they look at one another. Amuro and [[Sera]] successfully stop the kidnapper and Okiya drives away without lingering at the scene.

=== Don't make that kind of face (Manga: [[Volume 76|802]], Anime: [[Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter|675]]) ===
In chapter 802, Haibara hears the same "Don't make that kind of face" phrase from Conan, causing her to remember both the statement that Okiya made in chapter 800, and Akai making the same statement while under the Dai Moroboshi persona about protecting her sister. After this Haibara begins referring to Okiya using his given name "Subaru".

Haibara and Conan are late for a ski trip with professor Agasa and the detective boys because Haibara forgot something at Agasa's house. Unable to rouse the drunk sleeping Kogoro into getting a rental car, Haibara suggests calling Okiya for a ride. Conan is surprised at Haibara's change of heart regarding Okiya. On the way to the ski site, Okiya suggests he might join in because he feels he has been getting out of shape. Haibara directly questions Okiya about why he needs to stay in shape. Okiya comments, "Well, in a way... I ''do'' want to look good for the ladies." A murder case happens, interrupting the trip. After Conan runs off to question the suspects with Takagi, Subaru examines the body and gives his thoughts. Haibara suggests that he is rather knowledgeable about murders. Okiya gently corrects her, saying his interest is derived from his love of Holmes, and that he likes solving puzzles.

While the case suspects are being questioned by the Police, Haibara is waiting outside together with Okiya in front of the Police Headquarters. She mentions that this is "the first time" that she's alone with him. Okiya suggests that they should move to the parking lot and wait inside the car. However, Haibara doesn't seem to like the idea, and sarcastically answers that he can force her to come along with him if that's what he wants. Okiya doesn't do so, because of an unknown promise he made with ''"her"''.

The sky has turned dark. Okiya takes a nap inside his car. Haibara decides to take advantage of this moment and secretly tries to remove his scarf. However, Okiya has waken up and stops her from doing so. He explained: "Beyond here is my area... and not your space... Adults get cold... They're not outdoor creatures, after all..."

While the three girls are trying to solve the case, Sera mentions Shinichi Kudo, which reveal to Subaru that the owner of the house was the high school detective. He tells them that there is a rumor that Shinichi got killed during a case. While Sonoko and Ran discuss the rumors, the word Ninja comes up, which brings up a thought in Subaru. They decide to call Shinichi, and Conan is obligated to go to the bathroom and take the call. Subaru notices this and realizes he is going to play the Shinichi Kudo role. Rather than disturbing him, Subaru sends a message to Shinichi via Ran, telling him the name "Kumogakure Saizou", a clue to solve the case. After revealing the truth, Conan runs out from the bathroom, but he does not realize that Subaru had been watching him. Sera points out Conan left his bow tie on his cellphone. Then Subaru teases him by pretending to address Conan as Shinichi Kudo before suddenly switching topics.

Subaru is seen in a room with a woman who looks like Vermouth, but the top part of her face is hidden by her hat. Haibara receives a text message from Vermouth asking, "Are you ready?" Haibara locks herself in her bathroom and prepares to take the drug, presumably to turn herself into Sherry to protect her alternate identity. However, before she can consume the drug, Subaru enters, states "Just as expected of sisters, I can read all your moves." He is holding up a cell phone as he speaks, "Now, can I have you step this way...into our area?" However Haibara quickly runs past him, trying to escape. Later, Subaru is shown setting an unconscious Sera on the sofa of the train, smiling as she unconsciously mutters the words "Shuu-nii".

A while later when it appears like the Black Organization agent won't be coming to rescue them, Conan checks the packages for electronics they could try to use and unexpectedly finds a cake intended for Professor Agasa. He changes the address to direct the parcel to Kudo's house knowing that Okiya will deduce the situation and provide help. Okiya then gives the unwitting murderers a package containing a phone to deliver. Amuro finally locates the truck and comes to the rescue, so Okiya's phone is only used to call the police.

Subaru removes his mask, but it is normal looking. However, Amuro says that wasn't what he meant, and demands that Subaru remove his disguise to show his real identity as Shuichi. He searches Subaru's neck for a voice changer but finds none. Subaru states he has no idea about the Shuichi person that Amuro is talking about.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Ran, Sonoko and Masumi follow Conan as he leads them to an alternate route. It seems Conan wanted Ran to see the Cherry Blossoms. A petal falls on Conan's nose. Ran picks it up and reminisces the first time she met Shinichi. She wonders if Shinichi knows that she hated him the first time she met him.

==== Ran GIRL ====
This part emphasises on Ran's perception of the story.

13 years ago, Eri is still married to Kogoro. It is Kogoro's first day at the headquarters and she is searching for Ran's Sakura Badge for pre-school. Kogoro accidentally steps on it and breaks it, so Eri makes Ran a temporary one using colored paper and cardboard.

Meanwhile, a man and a woman are heard talking over something. Their faces are not yet revealed. He says, "She isn't going to come back." Not bothered at all, the woman tells him to "reset everything" and that "there are no time constraints to starting over".

In another scene, Yusaku is in book-signing event where a fan admires his writing that says that she liked one of the last lines of the wandering woman detective in his story: "There are no time constraints to starting over." She hails from Hokkaido. Yukiko calls Yusaku to inform that Shinichi's pre-school badge is missing. Yusaku accidently brought everything that was on his desk, including the badge.

Ran's paper badge is admired by Sonoko in school, but some guys don't seem too happy about it. Sonoko and one of them get into a fight over Ran's badge, which is resolved by their teacher, Efune-sensei. Unfortunately, Ran's badge is all crumpled up but she says that she can make it again since she saw her mom make it.

While everyone is sleeping, Ran is struggling to make her badge out of paper again. This is when Shinichi approaches her. "It's a Cherry Blossom, right?", he says. Upon Ran asking why, he presents his deduction. By the time he finishes, everyone is listening and amused. But Ran doesn't seem too flattered by someone who called her a "crybaby". Sonoko admires him but Ran tries to refute his claim exclaiming that she wasn't crying. Yukiko arrives and scolds Shinichi for running away and losing his badge. Shinichi says that he was telling Ran to make a new one for him. Yukiko recognizes Ran as Eri's daughter. Ran asks for Shinichi name and writes it on the badge, telling him that he can keep it, but he has to promise that Ran is not a crybaby so he won't ever call her that.

Back to the present, Ran says that she couldn't digest the fact that Shinichi being just a kid himself like everyone was acting all like an adult. She was actually crying because the badge her mom made for her was ruined. At that time, she couldn't understand the real reason why Shinichi asked her to make a badge for him.

Another day in the school, Shinichi catches Efune-sensei staring at Ran while singing. Sonoko claims that Efune-sensei can do that since he's the teacher and very popular, so much that many kids want to marry him when they grow up. Upon asking if she likes Efune-sensei, Ran shies away from Shinichi shouting why would she tell him that.

Later that day, Shinichi confronts Efune-sensei regarding some inconsistencies he found in his behavior towards Ran. He presents his questions: Why would he hold her hand when they cross the street? Why would he let her slide first in the park? Why would the location of the park be changed to a distant one without any reason? Why does Ran only have a designated spot for sleeping? He concludes that Efune-sensei is trying to win her over and do bad things to her. Efune-sensei states his reasons: He holds her hand because one time she lost the way and ended up on the other side of town in Haido City. He lets her slide first because she always ends up letting everybody go first and doesn't get to slide herself sometimes. And she sleeps where she does because it is nearest to the bathroom as one time she was sleeping so far away that she didn't make it. He says that he'll state his reasons for switching the park the next day.

<spoiler>
[[Image:EP853 Newfound Friendship.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi's new-found friendship.]]
The next day, Ran seems sad. When asked why, she tells Sonoko that she got scolded by her mom for bullying her classmates while in reality the case is the complete opposite. On reaching the park, Shinichi asks for the reason Efune brings them to a distant park. Efune points to his wife peeking through the hospital window and says that she loves children. They are actually moving to another hospital in the mountains where the air is better but there are only elderly people on that area. So he thought that he'd let her see the children for one last time, and admits that he was selfish to do that. Ran tells him that it's okay and that they should all wave to her. When the guy who bullied her before says that why should they listen to an outsider wearing a weird badge, Shinichi tells him that he is wearing the same badge as hers. The bully says that then he's an outsider too. In retaliation, Shinichi headbutts him and exclaims: "If there's two of us, then we're friends. And if we're friends, then we're not outsiders." Ran realizes that Shinchi must have seen her being bullied by the guys earlier, so he intentionally told her to make him a badge too. Regaining her lost enthusiasm, Ran holds Shinichi's hand high cheering, "Wave at the teacher's wife, Shinichi!" Shinichi objects to her calling him without honorifics, but Ran tells him that he can call her by her name too. Ran's viewpoint of the story ends with Shinichi saying: "On the back of cherry blossom petals, I made a new childhood friend."</spoiler>

==== Shinichi BOY ====
Ran says that Shinichi actually pretended to solve her 'Sakura badge' case, when he had seen her being bullied and thus knew everything from the beginning. Conan's perspective of the story is explored in this episode. Back then, all he saw through the glass was a girl who was upset because she had something taken from her and the word 'outsider'. "It was the first time I had made a heart-pounding deduction.", he speaks to himself and continues to narrate his side of the story.

The story goes back to the scene when everything started. Yukiko is searching for Shinichi's badge and calls Yusaku to enquire about it. Meanwhile, Shinichi is lost in a mystery book. He reads, "If one simply knocks out all the central inferences, and presents one's audience with the starting-point and conclusion, one may produce a startling, though possibly a meretricious, effect." Shinichi seems typically embarrassed about wearing glasses when his mother tells him that he will end up wearing them if he reads in the dark.

They leave to Yusaku's book-signing event where Yusaku hands-over the badge and Shinichi clips it to his shirt. Shinichi and his mother arrive next at Beika Pre-school. Efune is carrying out the formalities for Shinichi joining pre-school. Wandering in search of the library, Shinichi ends up opening the doors to the room Ran and others are sleeping in. His first reaction is to be shocked at the sight of so many children lying in rows, which he mistook for a morgue from a scene he saw in a movie. He walks by the sleeping children and finds Ran crying. He sees her uniform missing a badge. He looks at the folds she is making from a distance and accurately deduces it to be a Cherry Blossom Petal from when he saw his dad making stars for decorating the Christmas Tree. He's embarrassed to ask her if he's right. When he tries to speak, he sees a badge made of paper. "What was taken from her wasn't a plastic badge.", he realises. He removes his own badge and all while maintaining his serious expression, tells her, "Make me one, too. (Pause) It's a cherry blossom, right?" He is worried if he's wrong in his deduction. Ran asks him how did he know that. Shinichi thinks she is making of him and explains his deduction, additionally calling her a 'crybaby'. Everyone is amused but Ran is mad at him. "I'm not a crybaby." She exclaims. Shinichi argues that she was crying, but Ran is insistent that she wasn't. That's when Yukiko finds Shinichi and starts scolding him. Shinichi tells her that he lost his nametag while he hides it in his pocket. The situation plays out like Ran's viewpoint, except only that Shinichi notices Efune staring darkly at Ran.

That day Shinichi explains to his parents why he finds that something is wrong with his new teacher Efune. Yukiko teases Shinchi that he's just being jealous because his teacher gives all his attention to Ran. Yusaku, however, thinks that there is a problem if Efune-sensei is playing favorites. He enquires if Shinichi had asked his teacher about his weird behavior. Shinichi tells the reasons Efune explained him earlier. Yusaku finally asks if Ran is the last one to wake up from sleep, to which Shinichi replies yes. Yusaku apparently has a fan from Hokkaido who shares her surname "Efune" with Shinichi's teacher.

The next day continues to Ran telling Sonoko about her mom scolding her for bullying. Only this time, a detective watches a suspicious figure in a car taking a photo of the kids. In the next scene in Beika Park where Efune explains his reason to Shinichi for changing their park, the detective watches the suspicious figure behind Efune's wife handing her the camera. The detective is none other than Yusaku.

==== Resolution ====
<spoiler>
{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Kidnapping Attempt
| image = Sakura Memories Kidnapping.jpg
| location = Beika Pre-School
| victim = Ran Mouri
| suspects = Efune and his brother-in-law
}}

Two days later, it is raining and the kids are sleeping. Efune is worried about something. Two teachers in the hallway notice a black van parked outside the rear exit of the pre-school for a while and wonder if they should report it to the police. Efune tells them that he will go and check it out. While Efune runs towards in the rain, it is revealed that the woman and man in the scene at the very start of the previous episode were none other than his wife and Efune himself. Efune opens the door of the van and shouts, "Let's not do this!" To which Yusaku, who is seated as the driver, replies: "Let's not have this conversation in the rain." He invites him in the passenger seat and explains to him that his plan has been foiled. His brother-in-law who was breaking into the pre-school through the bathroom window has been arrested and is being questioned by the Police, in suspicion of trying to kidnap Ran Mouri.

==== Evidence ====
* Each day Efune held Ran's hand so that his brother-in-law would know which child they should kidnap.
* He announced her name and held her high in the slide in the park so that his wife could get a good look at her.
* He had Ran take her nap closer to the bathroom so that she'd be the one closest when his brother-in-law broke into the daycare through the bathroom window.
* Efune had also slipped Ran sedatives to make the whole process easier. As a result, she was confused and did certain things unintentionally, like soiling herself in her nap.
* Efune showed her special attention so that other children would be jealous of her and bully her. Then he wrote in her handbook that she was bullying children and made her mother scold her without an actual reason; that way, Ran would come to trust her teacher more than her parents.

==== Conclusion ====
Efune was aiding his brother-in-law in kidnapping a gentle and quiet little girl like Ran Mouri, so that his wife could start raising 'her' daughter all over again, from when she was the cutest and more docile. He was trying to win her over so that he and his wife could live happily with her thereafter, but Shinichi caught on some details so he rushes the plan to kidnap her before he'd be found out. Still, when Shinichi told his parents about Efune's behavior, Yusaku started putting two and two together. He even tells Efune that, while the other children are asleep, Shinichi is fully awake -- and standing next to Ran's sleeping spot, taking care of her.

==== Motive ====
Efune explains that few ago, his teenage daughter ran away from home. His very frail suffers from neurosis and has been so grief-stricken over the situation that she tried to kill herself and developed anorexia, so he and his brother-in-law believed that they had to carry out the kidnapping plan so she'd be more stable and recover the will to live.

==== Progress ====
Efune requests Yusaku that his wife be left out of this, but she has already surrendered to the Police with their daughter. The daughter is none other than Yusaku's fan from Hokkaido, who was deeply touched by his story. She had said a runaway herself, she could relate to the situation when the female detective discovers the runaway faking her suicide and says those words to make her return to her parents. Additionally, she said that she was from Hokkaido (a place where many students from Tokyo go on school trips and which could be a reasonable hiding spot for a runaway teen), but had habits that weren't shared by Hokkaido people (like using an umbrella when it snowed). Yusaku concludes that Efune will be able to see his daughter, but in exchange, he must to turn himself in to the Police. Nearby, Kogoro Mouri and Juzo Megure are impatiently waiting for the culprit to surrender.

The next day, the kids are shocked and those who liked Efune cry hearing that he has quit. However, Ran, who earlier said that she wasn't a crybaby, holds back her tears. Shinichi tells her then that she can cry when she feels like it and that he won't call her a crybaby anymore. Ran finally gives in to her sorrow, and cries leaning on Shinichi's shoulder.</spoiler>

==== Epilogue ====
[[Image:Memories from Sakura Class Shinichi BOY E854.jpg|thumb|right|"I've been head-over-heels to see that smile" - Conan.]]
In the present, Sonoko makes fun of Shinichi for saying those "touching" words, being just a five-year-old. Ran concludes their childhood story with Sera questioning Shinchi being in love with Ran from then on. Sonoko claims that Shinichi's first crush has to be his mom, an actress. Ran agrees, blushing. However, Conan isn't amused. He doubts if Ran knows ever since the time they met, he has been head-over-heels for that smile. He didn't think she hated him that much though.

When the guy who bullied her before says that why should they listen to an outsider wearing a weird badge, Shinichi tells him that he is wearing the same badge as hers. The bully says that then he's an outsider too. In retaliation, Shinichi headbutts him and exclaims: "If there's two of us, then we're friends. And if we're friends, then we're not outsiders." Ran realizes that Shinchi must have seen her being bullied by the guys earlier, so he intentionally told her to make him a badge too. Regaining her lost enthusiasm, Ran holds Shinichi's hand high cheering, "Wave at the teacher's wife, Shinichi!" Shinichi objects to her calling him without honorifics, but Ran tells him that he can call her by her name too. Ran's viewpoint of the story ends with Shinichi saying: "On the back of cherry blossom petals, I made a new childhood friend."</spoiler>

==== Shinichi BOY ====
Ran says that Shinichi actually pretended to solve her 'Sakura badge' case, when he had seen her being bullied and thus knew everything from the beginning. Conan's perspective of the story is explored in this episode. Back then, all he saw through the glass was a girl who was upset because she had something taken from her and the word 'outsider'. "It was the first time I had made a heart-pounding deduction.", he speaks to himself and continues to narrate his side of the story.

The story goes back to the scene when everything started. Yukiko is searching for Shinichi's badge and calls Yusaku to enquire about it. Meanwhile, Shinichi is lost in a mystery book. He reads, "If one simply knocks out all the central inferences, and presents one's audience with the starting-point and conclusion, one may produce a startling, though possibly a meretricious, effect." Shinichi seems typically embarrassed about wearing glasses when his mother tells him that he will end up wearing them if he reads in the dark.

They leave to Yusaku's book-signing event where Yusaku hands-over the badge and Shinichi clips it to his shirt. Shinichi and his mother arrive next at Beika Pre-school. Efune is carrying out the formalities for Shinichi joining pre-school. Wandering in search of the library, Shinichi ends up opening the doors to the room Ran and others are sleeping in. His first reaction is to be shocked at the sight of so many children lying in rows, which he mistook for a morgue from a scene he saw in a movie. He walks by the sleeping children and finds Ran crying. He sees her uniform missing a badge. He looks at the folds she is making from a distance and accurately deduces it to be a Cherry Blossom Petal from when he saw his dad making stars for decorating the Christmas Tree. He's embarrassed to ask her if he's right. When he tries to speak, he sees a badge made of paper. "What was taken from her wasn't a plastic badge.", he realises. He removes his own badge and all while maintaining his serious expression, tells her, "Make me one, too. (Pause) It's a cherry blossom, right?" He is worried if he's wrong in his deduction. Ran asks him how did he know that. Shinichi thinks she is making of him and explains his deduction, additionally calling her a 'crybaby'. Everyone is amused but Ran is mad at him. "I'm not a crybaby." She exclaims. Shinichi argues that she was crying, but Ran is insistent that she wasn't. That's when Yukiko finds Shinichi and starts scolding him. Shinichi tells her that he lost his nametag while he hides it in his pocket. The situation plays out like Ran's viewpoint, except only that Shinichi notices Efune staring darkly at Ran.

That day Shinichi explains to his parents why he finds that something is wrong with his new teacher Efune. Yukiko teases Shinchi that he's just being jealous because his teacher gives all his attention to Ran. Yusaku, however, thinks that there is a problem if Efune-sensei is playing favorites. He enquires if Shinichi had asked his teacher about his weird behavior. Shinichi tells the reasons Efune explained him earlier. Yusaku finally asks if Ran is the last one to wake up from sleep, to which Shinichi replies yes. Yusaku apparently has a fan from Hokkaido who shares her surname "Efune" with Shinichi's teacher.

The next day continues to Ran telling Sonoko about her mom scolding her for bullying. Only this time, a detective watches a suspicious figure in a car taking a photo of the kids. In the next scene in Beika Park where Efune explains his reason to Shinichi for changing their park, the detective watches the suspicious figure behind Efune's wife handing her the camera. The detective is none other than Yusaku.

==== Resolution ====

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Kidnapping Attempt
| image = Sakura Memories Kidnapping.jpg
| location = Beika Pre-School
| victim = Ran Mouri
| suspects = Efune and his brother-in-law
}}

Two days later, it is raining and the kids are sleeping. Efune is worried about something. Two teachers in the hallway notice a black van parked outside the rear exit of the pre-school for a while and wonder if they should report it to the police. Efune tells them that he will go and check it out. While Efune runs towards in the rain, it is revealed that the woman and man in the scene at the very start of the previous episode were none other than his wife and Efune himself. Efune opens the door of the van and shouts, "Let's not do this!" To which Yusaku, who is seated as the driver, replies: "Let's not have this conversation in the rain." He invites him in the passenger seat and explains to him that his plan has been foiled. His brother-in-law who was breaking into the pre-school through the bathroom window has been arrested and is being questioned by the Police, in suspicion of trying to kidnap Ran Mouri.

==== Evidence ====
* Each day Efune held Ran's hand so that his brother-in-law would know which child they should kidnap.
* He announced her name and held her high in the slide in the park so that his wife could get a good look at her.
* He had Ran take her nap closer to the bathroom so that she'd be the one closest when his brother-in-law broke into the daycare through the bathroom window.
* Efune had also slipped Ran sedatives to make the whole process easier. As a result, she was confused and did certain things unintentionally, like soiling herself in her nap.
* Efune showed her special attention so that other children would be jealous of her and bully her. Then he wrote in her handbook that she was bullying children and made her mother scold her without an actual reason; that way, Ran would come to trust her teacher more than her parents.

==== Conclusion ====
Efune was aiding his brother-in-law in kidnapping a gentle and quiet little girl like Ran Mouri, so that his wife could start raising 'her' daughter all over again, from when she was the cutest and more docile. He was trying to win her over so that he and his wife could live happily with her thereafter, but Shinichi caught on some details so he rushes the plan to kidnap her before he'd be found out. Still, when Shinichi told his parents about Efune's behavior, Yusaku started putting two and two together. He even tells Efune that, while the other children are asleep, Shinichi is fully awake -- and standing next to Ran's sleeping spot, taking care of her.

==== Motive ====
Efune explains that few ago, his teenage daughter ran away from home. His very frail suffers from neurosis and has been so grief-stricken over the situation that she tried to kill herself and developed anorexia, so he and his brother-in-law believed that they had to carry out the kidnapping plan so she'd be more stable and recover the will to live.

==== Progress ====
Efune requests Yusaku that his wife be left out of this, but she has already surrendered to the Police with their daughter. The daughter is none other than Yusaku's fan from Hokkaido, who was deeply touched by his story. She had said a runaway herself, she could relate to the situation when the female detective discovers the runaway faking her suicide and says those words to make her return to her parents. Additionally, she said that she was from Hokkaido (a place where many students from Tokyo go on school trips and which could be a reasonable hiding spot for a runaway teen), but had habits that weren't shared by Hokkaido people (like using an umbrella when it snowed). Yusaku concludes that Efune will be able to see his daughter, but in exchange, he must to turn himself in to the Police. Nearby, Kogoro Mouri and Juzo Megure are impatiently waiting for the culprit to surrender.

The next day, the kids are shocked and those who liked Efune cry hearing that he has quit. However, Ran, who earlier said that she wasn't a crybaby, holds back her tears. Shinichi tells her then that she can cry when she feels like it and that he won't call her a crybaby anymore. Ran finally gives in to her sorrow, and cries leaning on Shinichi's shoulder.</spoiler>

==== Epilogue ====
[[Image:Memories from Sakura Class Shinichi BOY E854.jpg|thumb|right|"I've been head-over-heels to see that smile" - Conan.]]
In the present, Sonoko makes fun of Shinichi for saying those "touching" words, being just a five-year-old. Ran concludes their childhood story with Sera questioning Shinchi being in love with Ran from then on. Sonoko claims that Shinichi's first crush has to be his mom, an actress. Ran agrees, blushing. However, Conan isn't amused. He doubts if Ran knows ever since the time they met, he has been head-over-heels for that smile. He didn't think she hated him that much though.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Ran, Sonoko and Masumi follow Conan as he leads them to an alternate route. It seems Conan wanted Ran to see the Cherry Blossoms. A petal falls on Conan's nose. Ran picks it up and reminisces the first time she met Shinichi. She wonders if Shinichi knows that she hated him the first time she met him.

==== Ran GIRL ====
This part emphasises on Ran's perception of the story.

13 years ago, Eri is still married to Kogoro. It is Kogoro's first day at the headquarters and she is searching for Ran's Sakura Badge for pre-school. Kogoro accidentally steps on it and breaks it, so Eri makes Ran a temporary one using colored paper and cardboard.

Meanwhile, a man and a woman are heard talking over something. Their faces are not yet revealed. He says, "She isn't going to come back." Not bothered at all, the woman tells him to "reset everything" and that "there are no time constraints to starting over".

In another scene, Yusaku is in book-signing event where a fan admires his writing that says that she liked one of the last lines of the wandering woman detective in his story: "There are no time constraints to starting over." She hails from Hokkaido. Yukiko calls Yusaku to inform that Shinichi's pre-school badge is missing. Yusaku accidently brought everything that was on his desk, including the badge.

Ran's paper badge is admired by Sonoko in school, but some guys don't seem too happy about it. Sonoko and one of them get into a fight over Ran's badge, which is resolved by their teacher, Efune-sensei. Unfortunately, Ran's badge is all crumpled up but she says that she can make it again since she saw her mom make it.

While everyone is sleeping, Ran is struggling to make her badge out of paper again. This is when Shinichi approaches her. "It's a Cherry Blossom, right?", he says. Upon Ran asking why, he presents his deduction. By the time he finishes, everyone is listening and amused. But Ran doesn't seem too flattered by someone who called her a "crybaby". Sonoko admires him but Ran tries to refute his claim exclaiming that she wasn't crying. Yukiko arrives and scolds Shinichi for running away and losing his badge. Shinichi says that he was telling Ran to make a new one for him. Yukiko recognizes Ran as Eri's daughter. Ran asks for Shinichi name and writes it on the badge, telling him that he can keep it, but he has to promise that Ran is not a crybaby so he won't ever call her that.

Back to the present, Ran says that she couldn't digest the fact that Shinichi being just a kid himself like everyone was acting all like an adult. She was actually crying because the badge her mom made for her was ruined. At that time, she couldn't understand the real reason why Shinichi asked her to make a badge for him.

Another day in the school, Shinichi catches Efune-sensei staring at Ran while singing. Sonoko claims that Efune-sensei can do that since he's the teacher and very popular, so much that many kids want to marry him when they grow up. Upon asking if she likes Efune-sensei, Ran shies away from Shinichi shouting why would she tell him that.

Later that day, Shinichi confronts Efune-sensei regarding some inconsistencies he found in his behavior towards Ran. He presents his questions: Why would he hold her hand when they cross the street? Why would he let her slide first in the park? Why would the location of the park be changed to a distant one without any reason? Why does Ran only have a designated spot for sleeping? He concludes that Efune-sensei is trying to win her over and do bad things to her. Efune-sensei states his reasons: He holds her hand because one time she lost the way and ended up on the other side of town in Haido City. He lets her slide first because she always ends up letting everybody go first and doesn't get to slide herself sometimes. And she sleeps where she does because it is nearest to the bathroom as one time she was sleeping so far away that she didn't make it. He says that he'll state his reasons for switching the park the next day.

<spoiler>
[[Image:EP853 Newfound Friendship.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi's new-found friendship.]]
The next day, Ran seems sad. When asked why, she tells Sonoko that she got scolded by her mom for bullying her classmates while in reality the case is the complete opposite. On reaching the park, Shinichi asks for the reason Efune brings them to a distant park. Efune points to his wife peeking through the hospital window and says that she loves children. They are actually moving to another hospital in the mountains where the air is better but there are only elderly people on that area. So he thought that he'd let her see the children for one last time, and admits that he was selfish to do that. Ran tells him that it's okay and that they should all wave to her. When the guy who bullied her before says that why should they listen to an outsider wearing a weird badge, Shinichi tells him that he is wearing the same badge as hers. The bully says that then he's an outsider too. In retaliation, Shinichi headbutts him and exclaims: "If there's two of us, then we're friends. And if we're friends, then we're not outsiders." Ran realizes that Shinchi must have seen her being bullied by the guys earlier, so he intentionally told her to make him a badge too. Regaining her lost enthusiasm, Ran holds Shinichi's hand high cheering, "Wave at the teacher's wife, Shinichi!" Shinichi objects to her calling him without honorifics, but Ran tells him that he can call her by her name too. Ran's viewpoint of the story ends with Shinichi saying: "On the back of cherry blossom petals, I made a new childhood friend."
</spoiler>

==== Shinichi BOY ====
Ran says that Shinichi actually pretended to solve her 'Sakura badge' case, when he had seen her being bullied and thus knew everything from the beginning. Conan's perspective of the story is explored in this episode. Back then, all he saw through the glass was a girl who was upset because she had something taken from her and the word 'outsider'. "It was the first time I had made a heart-pounding deduction.", he speaks to himself and continues to narrate his side of the story.

The story goes back to the scene when everything started. Yukiko is searching for Shinichi's badge and calls Yusaku to enquire about it. Meanwhile, Shinichi is lost in a mystery book. He reads, "If one simply knocks out all the central inferences, and presents one's audience with the starting-point and conclusion, one may produce a startling, though possibly a meretricious, effect." Shinichi seems typically embarrassed about wearing glasses when his mother tells him that he will end up wearing them if he reads in the dark.

Yukiko teases Shinchi that he's just being jealous because his teacher gives all his attention to Ran. Yusaku, however, thinks that there is a problem if Efune-sensei is playing favorites. He enquires if Shinichi had asked his teacher about his weird behavior. Shinichi tells the reasons Efune explained him earlier. Yusaku finally asks if Ran is the last one to wake up from sleep, to which Shinichi replies yes. Yusaku apparently has a fan from Hokkaido who shares her surname "Efune" with Shinichi's teacher.

The next day continues to Ran telling Sonoko about her mom scolding her for bullying. Only this time, a detective watches a suspicious figure in a car taking a photo of the kids. In the next scene in Beika Park where Efune explains his reason to Shinichi for changing their park, the detective watches the suspicious figure behind Efune's wife handing her the camera. The detective is none other than Yusaku.

Two days later, it is raining and the kids are sleeping. Efune is worried about something. Two teachers in the hallway notice a black van parked outside the rear exit of the pre-school for a while and wonder if they should report it to the police. Efune tells them that he will go and check it out. While Efune runs towards in the rain, it is revealed that the woman and man in the scene at the very start of the previous episode were none other than his wife and Efune himself.

* Each day Efune held Ran's hand so that his brother-in-law would know which child they should kidnap.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Ran, Sonoko and Masumi follow Conan as he leads them to an alternate route. It seems Conan wanted Ran to see the Cherry Blossoms. A petal falls on Conan's nose. Ran picks it up and reminisces the first time she met Shinichi. She wonders if Shinichi knows that she hated him the first time she met him.

==== Ran GIRL ====
This part emphasises on Ran's perception of the story.

13 years ago, Eri is still married to Kogoro. It is Kogoro's first day at the headquarters and she is searching for Ran's Sakura Badge for pre-school. Kogoro accidentally steps on it and breaks it, so Eri makes Ran a temporary one using colored paper and cardboard.

Meanwhile, a man and a woman are heard talking over something. Their faces are not yet revealed. He says, "She isn't going to come back." Not bothered at all, the woman tells him to "reset everything" and that "there are no time constraints to starting over".

In another scene, Yusaku is in book-signing event where a fan admires his writing that says that she liked one of the last lines of the wandering woman detective in his story: "There are no time constraints to starting over." She hails from Hokkaido. Yukiko calls Yusaku to inform that Shinichi's pre-school badge is missing. Yusaku accidently brought everything that was on his desk, including the badge.

Ran's paper badge is admired by Sonoko in school, but some guys don't seem too happy about it. Sonoko and one of them get into a fight over Ran's badge, which is resolved by their teacher, Efune-sensei. Unfortunately, Ran's badge is all crumpled up but she says that she can make it again since she saw her mom make it.

While everyone is sleeping, Ran is struggling to make her badge out of paper again. This is when Shinichi approaches her. "It's a Cherry Blossom, right?", he says. Upon Ran asking why, he presents his deduction. By the time he finishes, everyone is listening and amused. But Ran doesn't seem too flattered by someone who called her a "crybaby". Sonoko admires him but Ran tries to refute his claim exclaiming that she wasn't crying. Yukiko arrives and scolds Shinichi for running away and losing his badge. Shinichi says that he was telling Ran to make a new one for him. Yukiko recognizes Ran as Eri's daughter. Ran asks for Shinichi name and writes it on the badge, telling him that he can keep it, but he has to promise that Ran is not a crybaby so he won't ever call her that.

Back to the present, Ran says that she couldn't digest the fact that Shinichi being just a kid himself like everyone was acting all like an adult. She was actually crying because the badge her mom made for her was ruined. At that time, she couldn't understand the real reason why Shinichi asked her to make a badge for him.

Another day in the school, Shinichi catches Efune-sensei staring at Ran while singing. Sonoko claims that Efune-sensei can do that since he's the teacher and very popular, so much that many kids want to marry him when they grow up. Upon asking if she likes Efune-sensei, Ran shies away from Shinichi shouting why would she tell him that.

Later that day, Shinichi confronts Efune-sensei regarding some inconsistencies he found in his behavior towards Ran. He presents his questions: Why would he hold her hand when they cross the street? Why would he let her slide first in the park? Why would the location of the park be changed to a distant one without any reason? Why does Ran only have a designated spot for sleeping? He concludes that Efune-sensei is trying to win her over and do bad things to her. Efune-sensei states his reasons: He holds her hand because one time she lost the way and ended up on the other side of town in Haido City. He lets her slide first because she always ends up letting everybody go first and doesn't get to slide herself sometimes. And she sleeps where she does because it is nearest to the bathroom as one time she was sleeping so far away that she didn't make it. He says that he'll state his reasons for switching the park the next day.

<spoiler>
[[Image:EP853 Newfound Friendship.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi's new-found friendship.]]
The next day, Ran seems sad. When asked why, she tells Sonoko that she got scolded by her mom for bullying her classmates while in reality the case is the complete opposite. On reaching the park, Shinichi asks for the reason Efune brings them to a distant park. Efune points to his wife peeking through the hospital window and says that she loves children. They are actually moving to another hospital in the mountains where the air is better but there are only elderly people on that area. So he thought that he'd let her see the children for one last time, and admits that he was selfish to do that. Ran tells him that it's okay and that they should all wave to her. When the guy who bullied her before says that why should they listen to an outsider wearing a weird badge, Shinichi tells him that he is wearing the same badge as hers. The bully says that then he's an outsider too. In retaliation, Shinichi headbutts him and exclaims: "If there's two of us, then we're friends. And if we're friends, then we're not outsiders." Ran realizes that Shinchi must have seen her being bullied by the guys earlier, so he intentionally told her to make him a badge too. Regaining her lost enthusiasm, Ran holds Shinichi's hand high cheering, "Wave at the teacher's wife, Shinichi!" Shinichi objects to her calling him without honorifics, but Ran tells him that he can call her by her name too. Ran's viewpoint of the story ends with Shinichi saying: "On the back of cherry blossom petals, I made a new childhood friend."
</spoiler>

==== Shinichi BOY ====
Ran says that Shinichi actually pretended to solve her 'Sakura badge' case, when he had seen her being bullied and thus knew everything from the beginning. Conan's perspective of the story is explored in this episode. Back then, all he saw through the glass was a girl who was upset because she had something taken from her and the word 'outsider'. "It was the first time I had made a heart-pounding deduction.", he speaks to himself and continues to narrate his side of the story.

The story goes back to the scene when everything started. Yukiko is searching for Shinichi's badge and calls Yusaku to enquire about it. Meanwhile, Shinichi is lost in a mystery book. He reads, "If one simply knocks out all the central inferences, and presents one's audience with the starting-point and conclusion, one may produce a startling, though possibly a meretricious, effect." Shinichi seems typically embarrassed about wearing glasses when his mother tells him that he will end up wearing them if he reads in the dark.

They leave to Yusaku's book-signing event where Yusaku hands-over the badge and Shinichi clips it to his shirt. Shinichi and his mother arrive next at Beika Pre-school. Efune is carrying out the formalities for Shinichi joining pre-school. Wandering in search of the library, Shinichi ends up opening the doors to the room Ran and others are sleeping in. His first reaction is to be shocked at the sight of so many children lying in rows, which he mistook for a morgue from a scene he saw in a movie. He walks by the sleeping children and finds Ran crying. He sees her uniform missing a badge. He looks at the folds she is making from a distance and accurately deduces it to be a Cherry Blossom Petal from when he saw his dad making stars for decorating the Christmas Tree. He's embarrassed to ask her if he's right. When he tries to speak, he sees a badge made of paper. "What was taken from her wasn't a plastic badge.", he realises. He removes his own badge and all while maintaining his serious expression, tells her, "Make me one, too. (Pause) It's a cherry blossom, right?" He is worried if he's wrong in his deduction. Ran asks him how did he know that. Shinichi thinks she is making of him and explains his deduction, additionally calling her a 'crybaby'. Everyone is amused but Ran is mad at him. "I'm not a crybaby." She exclaims. Shinichi argues that she was crying, but Ran is insistent that she wasn't. That's when Yukiko finds Shinichi and starts scolding him. Shinichi tells her that he lost his nametag while he hides it in his pocket. The situation plays out like Ran's viewpoint, except only that Shinichi notices Efune staring darkly at Ran.

That day Shinichi explains to his parents why he finds that something is wrong with his new teacher Efune. Yukiko teases Shinchi that he's just being jealous because his teacher gives all his attention to Ran. Yusaku, however, thinks that there is a problem if Efune-sensei is playing favorites. He enquires if Shinichi had asked his teacher about his weird behavior. Shinichi tells the reasons Efune explained him earlier. Yusaku finally asks if Ran is the last one to wake up from sleep, to which Shinichi replies yes. Yusaku apparently has a fan from Hokkaido who shares her surname "Efune" with Shinichi's teacher.

The next day continues to Ran telling Sonoko about her mom scolding her for bullying. Only this time, a detective watches a suspicious figure in a car taking a photo of the kids. In the next scene in Beika Park where Efune explains his reason to Shinichi for changing their park, the detective watches the suspicious figure behind Efune's wife handing her the camera. The detective is none other than Yusaku.

==== Resolution ====

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Kidnapping Attempt
| image = Sakura Memories Kidnapping.jpg
| location = Beika Pre-School
| victim = Ran Mouri
| suspects = Efune and his brother-in-law
}}

Two days later, it is raining and the kids are sleeping. Efune is worried about something. Two teachers in the hallway notice a black van parked outside the rear exit of the pre-school for a while and wonder if they should report it to the police. Efune tells them that he will go and check it out. While Efune runs towards in the rain, it is revealed that the woman and man in the scene at the very start of the previous episode were none other than his wife and Efune himself. Efune opens the door of the van and shouts, "Let's not do this!" To which Yusaku, who is seated as the driver, replies: "Let's not have this conversation in the rain." He invites him in the passenger seat and explains to him that his plan has been foiled. His brother-in-law who was breaking into the pre-school through the bathroom window has been arrested and is being questioned by the Police, in suspicion of trying to kidnap Ran Mouri.

==== Evidence ====
* Each day Efune held Ran's hand so that his brother-in-law would know which child they should kidnap.
* He announced her name and held her high in the slide in the park so that his wife could get a good look at her.
* He had Ran take her nap closer to the bathroom so that she'd be the one closest when his brother-in-law broke into the daycare through the bathroom window.
* Efune had also slipped Ran sedatives to make the whole process easier. As a result, she was confused and did certain things unintentionally, like soiling herself in her nap.
* Efune showed her special attention so that other children would be jealous of her and bully her. Then he wrote in her handbook that she was bullying children and made her mother scold her without an actual reason; that way, Ran would come to trust her teacher more than her parents.

==== Conclusion ====
Efune was aiding his brother-in-law in kidnapping a gentle and quiet little girl like Ran Mouri, so that his wife could start raising 'her' daughter all over again, from when she was the cutest and more docile. He was trying to win her over so that he and his wife could live happily with her thereafter, but Shinichi caught on some details so he rushes the plan to kidnap her before he'd be found out. Still, when Shinichi told his parents about Efune's behavior, Yusaku started putting two and two together. He even tells Efune that, while the other children are asleep, Shinichi is fully awake -- and standing next to Ran's sleeping spot, taking care of her.

==== Motive ====
Efune explains that few ago, his teenage daughter ran away from home. His very frail suffers from neurosis and has been so grief-stricken over the situation that she tried to kill herself and developed anorexia, so he and his brother-in-law believed that they had to carry out the kidnapping plan so she'd be more stable and recover the will to live.

==== Progress ====
Efune requests Yusaku that his wife be left out of this, but she has already surrendered to the Police with their daughter. The daughter is none other than Yusaku's fan from Hokkaido, who was deeply touched by his story. She had said a runaway herself, she could relate to the situation when the female detective discovers the runaway faking her suicide and says those words to make her return to her parents. Additionally, she said that she was from Hokkaido (a place where many students from Tokyo go on school trips and which could be a reasonable hiding spot for a runaway teen), but had habits that weren't shared by Hokkaido people (like using an umbrella when it snowed). Yusaku concludes that Efune will be able to see his daughter, but in exchange, he must to turn himself in to the Police. Nearby, Kogoro Mouri and Juzo Megure are impatiently waiting for the culprit to surrender.

The next day, the kids are shocked and those who liked Efune cry hearing that he has quit. However, Ran, who earlier said that she wasn't a crybaby, holds back her tears. Shinichi tells her then that she can cry when she feels like it and that he won't call her a crybaby anymore. Ran finally gives in to her sorrow, and cries leaning on Shinichi's shoulder.
</spoiler>

==== Epilogue ====
[[Image:Memories from Sakura Class Shinichi BOY E854.jpg|thumb|right|"I've been head-over-heels to see that smile" - Conan]]
In the present, Sonoko makes fun of Shinichi for saying those "touching" words, being just a five-year-old. Ran concludes their childhood story with Sera questioning Shinchi being in love with Ran from then on. Sonoko claims that Shinichi's first crush has to be his mom, an actress. Ran agrees, blushing. However, Conan isn't amused. He doubts if Ran knows ever since the time they met, he has been head-over-heels for that smile. He didn't think she hated him that much though.

Two days later, it is raining and the kids are sleeping. Efune is worried about something. Two teachers in the hallway notice a black van parked outside the rear exit of the pre-school for a while and wonder if they should report it to the police. Efune tells them that he will go and check it out.

Still, when Shinichi told his parents about Efune's behavior, Yusaku started putting two and two together. He even tells Efune that, while the other children are asleep, Shinichi is fully awake -- and standing next to Ran's sleeping spot, taking care of her.

==== Motive ====
Efune explains that few ago, his teenage daughter ran away from home. His very frail suffers from neurosis and has been so grief-stricken over the situation that she tried to kill herself and developed anorexia, so he and his brother-in-law believed that they had to carry out the kidnapping plan so she'd be more stable and recover the will to live.

==== Progress ====
Efune requests Yusaku that his wife be left out of this, but she has already surrendered to the Police with their daughter. The daughter is none other than Yusaku's fan from Hokkaido, who was deeply touched by his story. She had said a runaway herself, she could relate to the situation when the female detective discovers the runaway faking her suicide and says those words to make her return to her parents. Additionally, she said that she was from Hokkaido (a place where many students from Tokyo go on school trips and which could be a reasonable hiding spot for a runaway teen), but had habits that weren't shared by Hokkaido people (like using an umbrella when it snowed). Yusaku concludes that Efune will be able to see his daughter, but in exchange, he must to turn himself in to the Police. Nearby, Kogoro Mouri and Juzo Megure are impatiently waiting for the culprit to surrender.

The next day, the kids are shocked and those who liked Efune cry hearing that he has quit. However, Ran, who earlier said that she wasn't a crybaby, holds back her tears. Shinichi tells her then that she can cry when she feels like it and that he won't call her a crybaby anymore. Ran finally gives in to her sorrow, and cries leaning on Shinichi's shoulder.

==== Epilogue ====
[[Image:Memories from Sakura Class Shinichi BOY E854.jpg|thumb|right|"I've been head-over-heels to see that smile" - Conan]]
In the present, Sonoko makes fun of Shinichi for saying those "touching" words, being just a five-year-old. Ran concludes their childhood story with Sera questioning Shinchi being in love with Ran from then on. Sonoko claims that Shinichi's first crush has to be his mom, an actress. Ran agrees, blushing. However, Conan isn't amused. He doubts if Ran knows ever since the time they met, he has been head-over-heels for that smile. He didn't think she hated him that much though.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Ran, Sonoko and Masumi follow Conan as he leads them to an alternate route. It seems Conan wanted Ran to see the Cherry Blossoms. A petal falls on Conan's nose. Ran picks it up and reminisces the first time she met Shinichi. She wonders if Shinichi knows that she hated him the first time she met him.

==== Ran GIRL ====
This part emphasises on Ran's perception of the story.

13 years ago, Eri is still married to Kogoro. It is Kogoro's first day at the headquarters and she is searching for Ran's Sakura Badge for pre-school. Kogoro accidentally steps on it and breaks it, so Eri makes Ran a temporary one using colored paper and cardboard.

Meanwhile, a man and a woman are heard talking over something. Their faces are not yet revealed. He says, "She isn't going to come back." Not bothered at all, the woman tells him to "reset everything" and that "there are no time constraints to starting over".

In another scene, Yusaku is in book-signing event where a fan admires his writing that says that she liked one of the last lines of the wandering woman detective in his story: "There are no time constraints to starting over." She hails from Hokkaido. Yukiko calls Yusaku to inform that Shinichi's pre-school badge is missing. Yusaku accidently brought everything that was on his desk, including the badge.

Ran's paper badge is admired by Sonoko in school, but some guys don't seem too happy about it. Sonoko and one of them get into a fight over Ran's badge, which is resolved by their teacher, Efune-sensei. Unfortunately, Ran's badge is all crumpled up but she says that she can make it again since she saw her mom make it.

While everyone is sleeping, Ran is struggling to make her badge out of paper again. This is when Shinichi approaches her. "It's a Cherry Blossom, right?", he says. Upon Ran asking why, he presents his deduction. By the time he finishes, everyone is listening and amused. But Ran doesn't seem too flattered by someone who called her a "crybaby". Sonoko admires him but Ran tries to refute his claim exclaiming that she wasn't crying. Yukiko arrives and scolds Shinichi for running away and losing his badge. Shinichi says that he was telling Ran to make a new one for him. Yukiko recognizes Ran as Eri's daughter. Ran asks for Shinichi name and writes it on the badge, telling him that he can keep it, but he has to promise that Ran is not a crybaby so he won't ever call her that.

Back to the present, Ran says that she couldn't digest the fact that Shinichi being just a kid himself like everyone was acting all like an adult. She was actually crying because the badge her mom made for her was ruined. At that time, she couldn't understand the real reason why Shinichi asked her to make a badge for him.

Another day in the school, Shinichi catches Efune-sensei staring at Ran while singing. Sonoko claims that Efune-sensei can do that since he's the teacher and very popular, so much that many kids want to marry him when they grow up. Upon asking if she likes Efune-sensei, Ran shies away from Shinichi shouting why would she tell him that.

Later that day, Shinichi confronts Efune-sensei regarding some inconsistencies he found in his behavior towards Ran. He presents his questions: Why would he hold her hand when they cross the street? Why would he let her slide first in the park? Why would the location of the park be changed to a distant one without any reason? Why does Ran only have a designated spot for sleeping? He concludes that Efune-sensei is trying to win her over and do bad things to her. Efune-sensei states his reasons: He holds her hand because one time she lost the way and ended up on the other side of town in Haido City. He lets her slide first because she always ends up letting everybody go first and doesn't get to slide herself sometimes. And she sleeps where she does because it is nearest to the bathroom as one time she was sleeping so far away that she didn't make it. He says that he'll state his reasons for switching the park the next day.

<spoiler>
[[Image:EP853 Newfound Friendship.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi's new-found friendship.]]
The next day, Ran seems sad. When asked why, she tells Sonoko that she got scolded by her mom for bullying her classmates while in reality the case is the complete opposite. On reaching the park, Shinichi asks for the reason Efune brings them to a distant park. Efune points to his wife peeking through the hospital window and says that she loves children. They are actually moving to another hospital in the mountains where the air is better but there are only elderly people on that area. So he thought that he'd let her see the children for one last time, and admits that he was selfish to do that. Ran tells him that it's okay and that they should all wave to her. When the guy who bullied her before says that why should they listen to an outsider wearing a weird badge, Shinichi tells him that he is wearing the same badge as hers. The bully says that then he's an outsider too. In retaliation, Shinichi headbutts him and exclaims: "If there's two of us, then we're friends. And if we're friends, then we're not outsiders." Ran realizes that Shinchi must have seen her being bullied by the guys earlier, so he intentionally told her to make him a badge too. Regaining her lost enthusiasm, Ran holds Shinichi's hand high cheering, "Wave at the teacher's wife, Shinichi!" Shinichi objects to her calling him without honorifics, but Ran tells him that he can call her by her name too. Ran's viewpoint of the story ends with Shinichi saying: "On the back of cherry blossom petals, I made a new childhood friend."
</spoiler>

==== Shinichi BOY ====
Ran says that Shinichi actually pretended to solve her 'Sakura badge' case, when he had seen her being bullied and thus knew everything from the beginning. Conan's perspective of the story is explored in this episode. Back then, all he saw through the glass was a girl who was upset because she had something taken from her and the word 'outsider'. "It was the first time I had made a heart-pounding deduction.", he speaks to himself and continues to narrate his side of the story.

The story goes back to the scene when everything started. Yukiko is searching for Shinichi's badge and calls Yusaku to enquire about it. Meanwhile, Shinichi is lost in a mystery book. He reads, "If one simply knocks out all the central inferences, and presents one's audience with the starting-point and conclusion, one may produce a startling, though possibly a meretricious, effect." Shinichi seems typically embarrassed about wearing glasses when his mother tells him that he will end up wearing them if he reads in the dark.

They leave to Yusaku's book-signing event where Yusaku hands-over the badge and Shinichi clips it to his shirt. Shinichi and his mother arrive next at Beika Pre-school. Efune is carrying out the formalities for Shinichi joining pre-school. Wandering in search of the library, Shinichi ends up opening the doors to the room Ran and others are sleeping in. His first reaction is to be shocked at the sight of so many children lying in rows, which he mistook for a morgue from a scene he saw in a movie. He walks by the sleeping children and finds Ran crying. He sees her uniform missing a badge. He looks at the folds she is making from a distance and accurately deduces it to be a Cherry Blossom Petal from when he saw his dad making stars for decorating the Christmas Tree. He's embarrassed to ask her if he's right. When he tries to speak, he sees a badge made of paper. "What was taken from her wasn't a plastic badge.", he realises. He removes his own badge and all while maintaining his serious expression, tells her, "Make me one, too. (Pause) It's a cherry blossom, right?" He is worried if he's wrong in his deduction. Ran asks him how did he know that. Shinichi thinks she is making of him and explains his deduction, additionally calling her a 'crybaby'. Everyone is amused but Ran is mad at him. "I'm not a crybaby." She exclaims. Shinichi argues that she was crying, but Ran is insistent that she wasn't. That's when Yukiko finds Shinichi and starts scolding him. Shinichi tells her that he lost his nametag while he hides it in his pocket. The situation plays out like Ran's viewpoint, except only that Shinichi notices Efune staring darkly at Ran.

That day Shinichi explains to his parents why he finds that something is wrong with his new teacher Efune. Yukiko teases Shinchi that he's just being jealous because his teacher gives all his attention to Ran. Yusaku, however, thinks that there is a problem if Efune-sensei is playing favorites. He enquires if Shinichi had asked his teacher about his weird behavior. Shinichi tells the reasons Efune explained him earlier. Yusaku finally asks if Ran is the last one to wake up from sleep, to which Shinichi replies yes. Yusaku apparently has a fan from Hokkaido who shares her surname "Efune" with Shinichi's teacher.

The next day continues to Ran telling Sonoko about her mom scolding her for bullying. Only this time, a detective watches a suspicious figure in a car taking a photo of the kids. In the next scene in Beika Park where Efune explains his reason to Shinichi for changing their park, the detective watches the suspicious figure behind Efune's wife handing her the camera. The detective is none other than Yusaku.

==== Resolution ====

}}

Two days later, it is raining and the kids are sleeping. Efune is worried about something. Two teachers in the hallway notice a black van parked outside the rear exit of the pre-school for a while and wonder if they should report it to the police. Efune tells them that he will go and check it out. While Efune runs towards in the rain, it is revealed that the woman and man in the scene at the very start of the previous episode were none other than his wife and Efune himself. Efune opens the door of the van and shouts, "Let's not do this!" To which Yusaku, who is seated as the driver, replies: "Let's not have this conversation in the rain." He invites him in the passenger seat and explains to him that his plan has been foiled. His brother-in-law who was breaking into the pre-school through the bathroom window has been arrested and is being questioned by the Police, in suspicion of trying to kidnap Ran Mouri.

==== Evidence ====
* Each day Efune held Ran's hand so that his brother-in-law would know which child they should kidnap.
* He announced her name and held her high in the slide in the park so that his wife could get a good look at her.
* He had Ran take her nap closer to the bathroom so that she'd be the one closest when his brother-in-law broke into the daycare through the bathroom window.
* Efune had also slipped Ran sedatives to make the whole process easier. As a result, she was confused and did certain things unintentionally, like soiling herself in her nap.
* Efune showed her special attention so that other children would be jealous of her and bully her. Then he wrote in her handbook that she was bullying children and made her mother scold her without an actual reason; that way, Ran would come to trust her teacher more than her parents.

==== Conclusion ====
Efune was aiding his brother-in-law in kidnapping a gentle and quiet little girl like Ran Mouri, so that his wife could start raising 'her' daughter all over again, from when she was the cutest and more docile. He was trying to win her over so that he and his wife could live happily with her thereafter, but Shinichi caught on some details so he rushes the plan to kidnap her before he'd be found out. Still, when Shinichi told his parents about Efune's behavior, Yusaku started putting two and two together. He even tells Efune that, while the other children are asleep, Shinichi is fully awake -- and standing next to Ran's sleeping spot, taking care of her.

==== Motive ====
Efune explains that few ago, his teenage daughter ran away from home. His very frail suffers from neurosis and has been so grief-stricken over the situation that she tried to kill herself and developed anorexia, so he and his brother-in-law believed that they had to carry out the kidnapping plan so she'd be more stable and recover the will to live.

==== Progress ====
Efune requests Yusaku that his wife be left out of this, but she has already surrendered to the Police with their daughter. The daughter is none other than Yusaku's fan from Hokkaido, who was deeply touched by his story. She had said a runaway herself, she could relate to the situation when the female detective discovers the runaway faking her suicide and says those words to make her return to her parents. Additionally, she said that she was from Hokkaido (a place where many students from Tokyo go on school trips and which could be a reasonable hiding spot for a runaway teen), but had habits that weren't shared by Hokkaido people (like using an umbrella when it snowed). Yusaku concludes that Efune will be able to see his daughter, but in exchange, he must to turn himself in to the Police. Nearby, Kogoro Mouri and Juzo Megure are impatiently waiting for the culprit to surrender.

The next day, the kids are shocked and those who liked Efune cry hearing that he has quit. However, Ran, who earlier said that she wasn't a crybaby, holds back her tears. Shinichi tells her then that she can cry when she feels like it and that he won't call her a crybaby anymore. Ran finally gives in to her sorrow, and cries leaning on Shinichi's shoulder.

'''{{nihongo|Eri Kisaki|妃英理|Kisaki Eri}}''', known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the English Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Her real name is '''{{nihongo|Eri Mouri|毛利英理|Mōri Eri}}'''. She began to to use her maiden name again after she began living separate from her husband [[Kogoro Mouri]]. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. In a recent hospitalization her name was displayed as "Eri Mouri" on the door. She has one daughter, [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Eri and her childhood friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]].]]
The legally separated wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.

Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had actually left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref>

In high school, Eri and her schoolmate and close friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]], were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" pageant, and were tied in the number of votes, due to the lateness of Kogoro.<ref name=Alike>[[Alike Princesses|Episode 333-334: Alike Princesses]]</ref> He had forgotten to vote, and by the time he had come to vote, it was too late.<ref name=Alike /> It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, he thought that the "Miss" meant "mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to her anger later on.<ref name=Alike />
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Eri's pet cat, [[Goro]], whom she named after [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].]]
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee /><ref name=LoveOf>[[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike /> However, even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee />

Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning, and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She has a cat, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Blue Russian Blue] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf /> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].

Eri is highly intelligent and has a sharp eye for details, and is also a skilled judoka, taught by Kogoro himself.<ref name=coffee /> She has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.<ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect /> Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee />

In chapter 985, its revealed Lawyers like Eri use Western-style comma (,).

== Appearance ==
Eri is a fairly tall and light-skinned woman. She has long and wavy brown hair with shorter bangs framing the sides of her face, most of which she usually keeps done up in a bun. She is rather slender yet curvaceous in built, she is shown to be very beautiful and admired by most men as she and Kudo Shinichi's mother were shown to be stunning beauties when they were in high school. She wears simple black glasses and is commonly seen wearing business suits.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Eri's Father ====
Eri's father has only been mention once, but it's notes that he cares a lot for his daughter and is very overprotective.
[[File:Eris father.jpg|thumb|left|400px|Kogoro and Eri speaking to Eri's Father.]]
{{clear}}

==== [[Kogoro Mouri]] ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}

[[File:Kogoro and Eri.PNG|thumb|right|210px|Kogoro and Eri.]]
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him, and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref>

[[File:Eri Kisaki hair down.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Eri with her hair down while getting a hair cut.]]

In ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]'', Eri and Kogoro are shown having a great time eating dinner, but it ends when Kogoro looks out the window and sees the very attractive owner of the bar that he visits.<ref name=target /> This makes Eri turn angry and act how she normally acts to Kogoro. In the two-part episode, ''[[Scuba Diving Murder Case]]'', Eri accidentally loses her wedding ring on the beach, but pretends to have left it at home to see if Kogoro noticed.<ref name=scuba /> She gets visibly angry when Kogoro doesn't appear to notice it, especially when he leaves their lunch early to go back to the beach.<ref name=scuba /> Later, it is discovered that Kogoro had always known that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring, and had gone back to the beach to look for it.<ref name=scuba /> This left a visibly shocked Eri to drive home speechless, but pleased.<ref name=scuba />

In another episode, Eri actually captures a confession from Kogoro saying that he misses her and wishes she would come back to him on a minidisc, replaying it over and over again afterwards.<ref name=Suspect /> However, even though they both miss each other, both of them still pretend not to care, and even become incredibly nasty to each other.<ref name=scuba /> Kogoro even goes on the opposing side of a case that Eri is working on, in a plan done by her professional rival [[Reiko Kujo]] to try and get under Eri's skin.<ref name=Battle>[[Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro|Episode 264-265: Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro]]</ref> However, her plan fails, as Kogoro's testimony is able to help out Eri's case instead of Reiko's.<ref name=Battle />
{{clearleft}}

==== [[Ran Mouri]] ====
Despite having a rocky relationship with Kogoro, Eri continues to have a very loving and nurturing relationship with their only daughter. Ran has been trying to get her parents back together ever since they started living separately when she was 6 years old <ref name=The Two Mysteries>Manga Volume 11: Files 107 (The Two Mysteries)</ref>. When they can find the time, Eri and Ran like to meet up so they can catch up on what's been happening in each others lives and during those moments together Ran tries to convince her mother to come back home to live with them as a family again <ref name=Coffee Shop Case>Manga Volume 11: Files 105-107 (Coffee Shop Case)</ref>.

==== [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]] ====
Shinichi/Conan and Eri share a somewhat equal level of intelligence when analysing crime scenes. Eri's deducing skills were more notable in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where she was able to submit a string and a piece of metal before Conan could bring it to Inspector Yamamura's attention. She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills, and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).

On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime, since he hasn't met her for 10 years.

==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri, a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote.

=== Rival ===
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====
[[File:Reiko876543456.png|thumb|right]]
Reiko Kujo is a prosecutor and rival of Eri Kisaki . They compete in several anime-only episodes called variations of "Courtroom Confrontation".

National Police Agency

2018-06-20T03:50:06Z

Sas141:

The {{Nihongo|'''National Police Agency (NPA)'''|警察庁|Keisatsu-chō}} is the central coordinating agency of the Japanese police system. It is administered by the [[National Public Safety Commission]], which appoints the {{nihongo|Commissioner General|警察庁長官|Keisatsu-chō Chōkan|National Police Agency (Japan)}}. As head of the NPA, the Commissioner General holds the highest position in the Japanese police.

The NPA supervises the Regional Police Bureaus and prefectural police organizations, as well as the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]]. Unlike the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] of the United States, the NPA does not have any police officers of its own. Instead, its role is to determine general standards and policies, although in national emergencies or large-scale disasters the agency is authorized to take command of prefectural police forces.

== Background ==
At some point the NPA, or namely its [[#Security Bureau|Security Bureau]], learned of the existence of the [[Black Organization]]. [[Rei Furuya]], using the alias Tooru Amuro, and [[Scotch|another man]] who was an officer from the [[Tokyo_Metropolitan_Police#Public_Security_Bureau|Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau]] infiltrated the Organization. After distinguishing themselves in an unknown fashion, [[the Boss of the Black Organization]] gave the two codenames. Rei became "Bourbon" and the other man became "Scotch".

Eventually, Scotch's identity as a spy was found out by the Black Organization. When he was confronted by [[Shuichi Akai]], who was also infiltrating the organization on behalf of the FBI at the same time, Scotch attempted to steal Shuichi's gun to commit suicide and destroy his phone which contains sensitive data, but was stopped as Shuichi revealed his true affiliation to him. However, at that moment, a worried Rei quickly arrived at the scene and Scotch mistook his ally's approaching footsteps for those of a Black Organization member. He then pulled the trigger and shot himself along with the phone. Shuichi, not knowing of Rei's true identity at the time, picked up the gun and made it look like he had killed Scotch himself. As a result, Rei hated Shuichi and the FBI generally and hoped they would leave Japan altogether.

== Known Agents ==


=== Canon agents ===
* '''[[Rei Furuya]]''': Also going by the alias Tooru Amuro, he has the codename Bourbon in the [[Black Organization]]. He has a rivalry with [[Shuichi Akai]] and the FBI as a whole stemming form [[Scotch]]'s death. He works in the '''Security Bureau Security Planning Division'''.
* Various '''unnamed agents''' ordered by Rei in [[The Scarlet Return]].

=== Security Bureau ===
[[File:Rei Furuya.jpg|thumb|right|Rei Furuya]]
The {{nihongo|'''Security Bureau of the National Police Agency (NPA SB)'''|警察庁警備局|Keisatsu-chō Keibi-kyoku}} is a bureau of the NPA in charge of national-level public security. It is charged with counter-terrorism, counter-intelligence, countering cybercrime and surveillance of potentially threatening groups, organizations, and social phenomena. It also supervises the prefectural police forces for those issues.<ref>[[wikipedia:National Police Agency Security Bureau (Japan)|Wikipedia: National Police Agency Security Bureau (Japan)]]</ref>

In the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]'', the NPA SB is one of the [[Japanese intelligence agencies]] that participate in the fight against the [[Black Organization]]. The undercover agent [[Rei Furuya]] is a member of one of the departments of the NPA SB called the {{nihongo|'''National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning Division'''<ref>[[:File:Postcard2016 40.jpg]]</ref>|警察庁警備局警備企画課|Keisatsuchō Keibi-kyoku Keibi-Kikaku-ka}} which has the nickname '''Zero'''.

In the movie [[The Darkest Nightmare]] they kept a list of NOCs from bureaus around the world who infiltrated the organization.
{{clear}}

== Plot Overview ==
=== Bourbon and Akai Arc ===
Rei was assigned to locate [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]]. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], with the help of [[Kaitou Kid]] and several others, managed to convince Rei that [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|she was killed in a train bombing.]] While Rei was looking for Shiho he also took the time to investigate [[Shuichi Akai]]'s alleged death and the FBI illegally stationed in Japan. With the help of [[Vermouth]], he impersonated Shuichi and discovered that he was not actually dead.

Rei later gathered up a team of men to confront a man he believed to be Shuichi in disguise: [[Subaru Okiya]]. Shuichi then challenged the Security Bureau directly, preventing them from detaining [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Andre Camel]]. Rei confronted Shuichi by phone and found out that Shuichi did not kill [[Scotch]] out of malice, and he was genuinely sorry he died. Shuichi also turned over a handgun to the Security Bureau for analysis. Rei's discovery of Shuichi's faked death was not disclosed to the [[Black Organization]].

=== Rum Arc ===
Despite the events of [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|Scarlet Showdown]], Rei still blames Shuichi for Scotch's death. When [[Masumi Sera]] encounters Rei during the [[Volume 88#Girls Band Murder Case|Girls Band Murder Case]], she has a flashback to 4 years ago when she saw her brother Shuichi along with a man who teaches her a few notes of base guitar. A third man, who appears to resemble Rei, appeared and referred to that man as Scotch.

== Non-canon Plot Overview ==
=== Episode 813: [[The Shadow Approaching Amuro]] ===
This episode is a pre-story for movie 20, The Darkest Nightmare.

=== Movie 20: [[The Darkest Nightmare]] ===
At the beginning of the movie, [[Curaçao]] is caught breaking into the NPA's headquarter in order to retrieve the data about undercover agents who infiltrated the Black Organization all over the world.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== The NPA and the [[Black Organization]] ===
It hasn't been stated how the Security Bureau and the NPA in general discovered the Black Organization. The Black Organization in general hasn't shown any indication that they specifically suspect the Security Bureau might be investigating them.

=== The NPA and the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] ===
Initially Rei Furuya and the NPA SB in general wanted the FBI, who are operating illegally in Japan, completely deported. Rei Furuya in particular wanted to arrest Shuichi Akai for killing Scotch. After [[The Scarlet Return]], the NPA SB appear to be grudgingly tolerating the FBI's presence.

=== The NPA and the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] ===

=== The NPA and the ordinary [[Law Enforcement#Police|Japanese Law Enforcement]] ===
The NPA in general is the central coordinating and supervising agency of the Japanese police system. While the NPA SB works closely with the [[Tokyo_Metropolitan_Police#Public_Security_Bureau|Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau]] in the fight against the Black Organization, the ordinary Japanese law enforcement doesn't appear to know about its mission or about the organization at all. [[Hyoue Kuroda]], an ex-NPA agent who has since moved to the Tokyo MPD division one, may know something courtesy of Rei Furuya who is currently an NPA agent.

=== The NPA and [[Conan Edogawa]] ===
It is stated by Hyoue Kuroda that he heard the rumor of Conan being the real brain behind Sleeping Kogoro from the NPA, indicating that they have known or at least suspect Conan's true intelligence.

National Police Agency

2018-06-20T03:49:02Z

Sas141:

The {{Nihongo|'''National Police Agency (NPA)'''|警察庁|Keisatsu-chō}} is the central coordinating agency of the Japanese police system. It is administered by the [[wikipedia:National Public Safety Commission|National Public Safety Commission]], which appoints the [[wikipedia:{{nihongo|Commissioner General|警察庁長官|Keisatsu-chō Chōkan|National Police Agency (Japan)}}|National Public Safety Commission]]. As head of the NPA, the Commissioner General holds the highest position in the Japanese police.

The NPA supervises the Regional Police Bureaus and prefectural police organizations, as well as the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]]. Unlike the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation]] of the United States, the NPA does not have any police officers of its own. Instead, its role is to determine general standards and policies, although in national emergencies or large-scale disasters the agency is authorized to take command of prefectural police forces.

== Background ==
At some point the NPA, or namely its [[#Security Bureau|Security Bureau]], learned of the existence of the [[Black Organization]]. [[Rei Furuya]], using the alias Tooru Amuro, and [[Scotch|another man]] who was an officer from the [[Tokyo_Metropolitan_Police#Public_Security_Bureau|Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau]] infiltrated the Organization. After distinguishing themselves in an unknown fashion, [[the Boss of the Black Organization]] gave the two codenames. Rei became "Bourbon" and the other man became "Scotch".

Eventually, Scotch's identity as a spy was found out by the Black Organization. When he was confronted by [[Shuichi Akai]], who was also infiltrating the organization on behalf of the FBI at the same time, Scotch attempted to steal Shuichi's gun to commit suicide and destroy his phone which contains sensitive data, but was stopped as Shuichi revealed his true affiliation to him. However, at that moment, a worried Rei quickly arrived at the scene and Scotch mistook his ally's approaching footsteps for those of a Black Organization member. He then pulled the trigger and shot himself along with the phone. Shuichi, not knowing of Rei's true identity at the time, picked up the gun and made it look like he had killed Scotch himself. As a result, Rei hated Shuichi and the FBI generally and hoped they would leave Japan altogether.

The {{nihongo|'''Security Bureau of the National Police Agency (NPA SB)'''|警察庁警備局|Keisatsu-chō Keibi-kyoku}} is a bureau of the NPA in charge of national-level public security. It is charged with counter-terrorism, counter-intelligence, countering cybercrime and surveillance of potentially threatening groups, organizations, and social phenomena. It also supervises the prefectural police forces for those issues.<ref>[[wikipedia:National Police Agency Security Bureau (Japan)|Wikipedia: National Police Agency Security Bureau (Japan)]]</ref>

In the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]'', the NPA SB is one of the [[Japanese intelligence agencies]] that participate in the fight against the [[Black Organization]]. The undercover agent [[Rei Furuya]] is a member of one of the departments of the NPA SB called the {{nihongo|'''National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning Division'''<ref>[[:File:Postcard2016 40.jpg]]</ref>|警察庁警備局警備企画課|Keisatsuchō Keibi-kyoku Keibi-Kikaku-ka}} which has the nickname '''Zero'''.

== Plot Overview ==
=== Bourbon and Akai Arc ===
Rei was assigned to locate [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]]. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], with the help of [[Kaitou Kid]] and several others, managed to convince Rei that [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|she was killed in a train bombing.]] While Rei was looking for Shiho he also took the time to investigate [[Shuichi Akai]]'s alleged death and the FBI illegally stationed in Japan. With the help of [[Vermouth]], he impersonated Shuichi and discovered that he was not actually dead.

Rei later gathered up a team of men to confront a man he believed to be Shuichi in disguise: [[Subaru Okiya]]. Shuichi then challenged the Security Bureau directly, preventing them from detaining [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Andre Camel]]. Rei confronted Shuichi by phone and found out that Shuichi did not kill [[Scotch]] out of malice, and he was genuinely sorry he died. Shuichi also turned over a handgun to the Security Bureau for analysis. Rei's discovery of Shuichi's faked death was not disclosed to the [[Black Organization]].

=== Rum Arc ===
Despite the events of [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|Scarlet Showdown]], Rei still blames Shuichi for Scotch's death. When [[Masumi Sera]] encounters Rei during the [[Volume 88#Girls Band Murder Case|Girls Band Murder Case]], she has a flashback to 4 years ago when she saw her brother Shuichi along with a man who teaches her a few notes of base guitar.

{{nihongo|'''Rei Furuya'''|降谷零|Furuya Rei}}, also known as {{nihongo|'''Tooru Amuro'''|安室透|Amuro Tōru}} and {{nihongo|'''Bourbon'''|バーボン|Bābon}}, is a [[Public Security Bureau|National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning, Chiyoda Division]]<ref name="Postcard2016" /> agent working undercover in the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a recently dispatched operative who specializes in deduction and intelligence gathering and frequently works with [[Vermouth]]. At present, Rei poses as a private detective who works as a waiter at Café Poirot and is [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s apprentice.

==Background==
Little is known about Rei Furuya as a PSB agent. Most of his appearances are as the Café Poirot waiter and private eye Tooru Amuro, or as the [[Black Organization]] operative Bourbon.

Rei makes his first appearance as Tooru Amuro when acting as a private investigator. He meets [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the Mouris while disguised as a waiter in order to help a client with a case<ref name=f793>[[Volume 75#Private Eye|Volume 75, Files 9-11: "Private Eye"]]</ref>. When Sleeping Kogoro appears to solve a case relating to his client before he can, he claims he wants to learn from [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]<ref name=f793 />. Rei succeeds in becoming his apprentice by offering him a hefty tuition fee as an incentive <ref name=f793 />. Thus, he begins working at Café Poirot, right under the Mouri Detective Agency, to remain close to Kogoro <ref name=f793 />. Presently, he continues to work under this cover.

Bourbon is first mentioned when [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] reports that a new Organization member is on the move, with the goal of capturing the escaped scientist [[Shiho Miyano]]<ref name=622p4>[[Volume 60#Red, White, and Yellow Case|Volume 60, File 3, Page 4: "Red, White and Yellow Case"]]</ref>. Kir reports that Bourbon has excellent information gathering skills and keen insight<ref name=622p4 />. However, Bourbon's first actual appearance is when disguised as [[Scar Akai]]<ref name=704p15>[[Volume 67#Department Store Bomber Case|Volume 67, File 8 (704): "Department Store Bomber Case"]]</ref> in order to determine the veracity of [[Akai Shuichi]]'s death.

Currently, Rei's main appearance as a PSB agent is during the [[The Scarlet Return|Scarlet Showdown]], when he orders around subordinates during the confrontation with [[Yusaku Kudo]] (who was disguised as [[Subaru Okiya]])<ref>[[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|Volume 85, File 4 (897): "Scarlet Truth"]]</ref>. He additionally gives an order to a PSB subordinate, [[Yuya Kazami]], during Haibara's Lost Phone Strap case<ref>[[Volume 94#Haibara's Lost Phone Strap Case|Volume 94, File 6 (998): "Search for the Phone Strap!"]]</ref>.

=== Childhood ===
As a child, it is likely that Rei often got into fights. During the Tense Tea Party case, Rei is shown in a flashback sequence with [[Elena Miyano]]<ref name="889p13">[[Volume 84#Tea Poisoning Murder Case|Volume 84, File 7 (889): "Zero"]]</ref>. During this flashback, Elena chides Rei for fighting and implies that she has treated his injuries more than once<ref name=889p13/>. She additionally calls herself 'sensei', suggesting that Rei had a teacher or doctor-like relationship with her<ref name=889p13/>. During the Black Bunny's Club case, it is revealed that he is half Japanese, which was the main reason for him to get bullied and involved in many fights.

Rei's childhood nickname was 'Zero', which has been used by [[Scotch]]<ref name=954p1>[[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|Volume 90, File 6 (954): "Sanction of the Betrayal"]]</ref>, his childhood friend<ref>https://imgur.com/a/y2BAH</ref>.

He is known to have ties with other members of the Miyano family. In the [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Jet-Black Mystery Train]] case, he mentions that he has met [[Shiho Miyano]]'s parents, [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] and [[Atsushi Miyano]], as well as her sister [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]]<ref name=824p5>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Volume 78, File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"]]</ref>.

=== Black Organization ===
At some point in the past, Rei began inflitrating the [[Black Organization]] for the PSB, eventually gaining the codename Bourbon. In the Organization, he works as an agent specializing in deduction and information gathering. [[Gin]] even goes as far to call him a 'great detective like Sherlock Holmes'<ref name=704p15/>.

==== Rivalry with Akai Shuichi ====

During his time in the Organization, at some point he became the rival of [[Shuichi Akai]] (alias Dai Moroboshi). However, despite the rivalry, they may have still worked together. During the [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Unfriendly Girls Band]] case, [[Masumi Sera]] mentions that she spotted Rei, Shuichi, and Scotch on the same train platform<ref name=937p12>[[Volume 88#Girls Band Murder Case|Volume 88, File 11 (937): "The Disappeared Clue"]]</ref>. As Shuichi and Scotch were holding instrument bags that may have held rifles, it is possible that they were on a mission together. Rei additionally suspected that Shuichi was a spy for the FBI<ref name=824p5/>, which turned out to be the case.

Rei's animosity towards Akai Shuichi appears to stem from the death of Scotch, a fellow spy from the PSB and his childhood friend. At some point in the past, Scotch was found out as a NOC and confronted by Shuichi on top of a rooftop<ref name=954p1 />. During this confrontation, Scotch stole away Shuichi's gun and attempted to commit suicide with it. While Shuichi succeeded in talking him down him temporarily, the sound of Rei's steps coming up the stairs distracted Shuichi, allowing Scotch to commit suicide. And so Shuichi, not knowing that Rei was a fellow NOC, pretended that he had been the one to kill Scotch<ref name=954p1 />.

While Rei is aware that Scotch committed suicide<ref name=954p1 />, he believes that Shuichi forced or pressured Scotch into doing it. Thus, he still blames Shuichi for Scotch's death.

== Personality ==
[[File:Amuro_Personality.jpg|thumb|right|Rei and Ran are happy that Kogoro cracked the code in the [[Detectives' Nocturne]] Case.]]
Rei has a cheerful personality. He is also generous, bringing a plate of sandwiches for the detective agency bought with his money. In more serious situations, he seems to be patient, keeping calm even while others are abusing him. Although somewhat of a "cool type", he does not hide his emotions and is quite expressive. Like other detectives in ''[[Detective Conan]]'', he enjoys presenting his deductions about cases to others. Kogoro calls him "effeminate".

Rei has a darker side. He is manipulative, tricking others into performing certain actions so he can gather information. He favors using psychological traps and catching his enemies offguard. Rei can also be extremely cruel in the pursuit of goals. He planned to run over and hospitalize an elementary school teacher with his car in order to lure out FBI agents, and he would have allowed a suspect destroy his exonerating evidence in order to test Kogoro. Rei alternates between going out of his way to care about the wellbeing others and ignoring them when it is inconvenient. As Scar Akai, he saved Conan at the [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group|Teito bank heist]], but neglected to inform Ran and Kogoro later when he noticed that Conan might have been kidnapped by a murderer in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].

[[Gin]] says Bourbon has a secretive personality like [[Vermouth]], and that no one can ever guess what he's up to or what he will do.<ref name=703p3/> [[Vodka]] says that Bourbon hates Shuichi Akai even more than Gin does, presumably because Rei thinks that Akai killed Scotch.<ref name=703p3/> Bourbon believes he is the only person capable of killing Akai.<ref name=703p3/> Gin said that if Bourbon found out Akai was alive, he would surely boast that his suspicion was correct.<ref name=703p3/> Gin and Bourbon probably don't get along and they don't seem to communicate with one another.<ref name=703p3/>

== Appearance ==
[[File:Low res Amuro colored.PNG|thumb|left|125px|Colored drawing by Gosho Aoyama]]
Rei is a good-looking man (claimed by [[Sonoko]] and [[Ayumi]]) with dark skin, lighter than, but closer to [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]]'s color and has brown hair <ref> "Lets Talk with Gosho Day 2014" : Amuro-san’s white hair… is that dyed? Aah.Rather than white it’s brown. I can’t answer this. His dark skin too, there is a profound meaning behind it. (laughs) </ref> He wears glasses at first, but it is unknown if he actually needs them because he was using them to conceal his identity at the time and takes them off midway through the case and has not had them on since. Unlike other Black Organization members, he dresses mostly casually and sometimes wears outfits with only a little black, suggesting that he is an undercover of the Black Organization.
{{clear}}

== Abilities ==
=== Deduction and intelligence ===
Rei is a good detective with excellent information gathering skills. Although, since Rei is undercover as Kogoro's apprentice, he hasn't shown his real deduction skills, which is his specialty in the Black Organization. His friend, [[Wataru Date]], said Rei was the smartest student at the police academy.<ref name=807p11>Manga [[Volume 77]], File 1 (807), pg 11: "The Strongest Senpai"</ref>

=== Driving ===
Rei is a capable driver, capable of precisely swinging his car in front of another during a high speed car chase in order to stop it with a controlled collision.

=== Tennis ===
Rei is an excellent tennis player. He claimed he was a junior champion in middle school, but quit after he injured his shoulder.<ref name=825p7>Manga Volume 78, File 8 (825), pg 7: "Special Coach"</ref> He offered to tutor [[Sonoko]] who had surpassed her teammates and friends.

=== First aid ===
When Conan received a concussion from an errant tennis racket, Rei "carried out the procedures pretty efficiently" before the doctor even arrived.<ref name=825p11>Manga Volume 78, File 8 (825), pg 11: "Special Coach"</ref>

=== Lockpicking ===
Rei seems to carry lockpicks with him and was able to lockpick a door fairly quickly. He claimed he learned it from a friend in a security company.<ref name=825p15>Manga Volume 78, File 8 (825), pg 15: "Special Coach"</ref> Japan's law prohibits possession of any lock picking tools and carries a penalty of one year imprisonment or a 500,000 yen fine.<ref>[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%89%B9%E6%AE%8A%E9%96%8B%E9%8C%A0%E7%94%A8%E5%85%B7%E3%81%AE%E6%89%80%E6%8C%81%E3%81%AE%E7%A6%81%E6%AD%A2%E7%AD%89%E3%81%AB%E9%96%A2%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E6%B3%95%E5%BE%8B Japan Possession of Lock-picking Tools Act - Wikipedia]</ref>

=== Martial arts ===
Rei is good at boxing,<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__view__findpost__p__287218 青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY] (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013 安室はボクシングをしている。 (Amuro is doing boxing.)</ref> shown when a single punch to an attacker's gut causes him to spray blood from the mouth and collapse.<ref name=843p15>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 4 (843), pg 15: "A parcel for Kudo-samakata"</ref> Rei also likely knows some [[Wikipedia:Jujutsu|Jujutsu]] from his time in police academy; Jujutsu is routinely taught to Tokyo police officers to aid in suspect immobilization and arrest.

==Mission==
Bourbon's primary mission was to search for the escaped scientist [[Shiho Miyano]], which the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spy [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] heard about and informed the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] of. He also had a second secret mission fueled by his hunch that his archenemy Shuichi Akai should not have died so easily;<ref name=703p3>Manga [[Volume 67]], File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm"</ref> he received the [[The Boss|boss]]' permission to verify Shuichi's death. He approached the FBI as [[Scar Akai|an Shuichi lookalike]] by using [[Vermouth]]'s disguise help hoping to see if Akai was truly dead.<ref name=824p7>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824), pg 7: "Final Destination"</ref> He later apprenticed himself to [[Kogoro Mouri]] because Bourbon suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry.<ref name=827p16>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 10 (827), pg 16: "The key to solving the mystery"</ref> (Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] and assumed that Sherry planted it.)

Currently, Bourbon thinks Shiho has been killed,<ref name=824p12>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824), pg 12: "Final Destination"</ref> and had come to believe Shuichi was dead as well until a suspicious man shrouded by smoke threw a grenade by him on the [[Volume_78#Mystery_Train|Mystery Express]].<ref name=824p16>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824), pg 16: "Final Destination"</ref> The sighting caused Bourbon to second guess himself and request that Vermouth show him the detailed files from before and after Shuichi's death again.<ref name=824p16/> Bourbon has also decided to continue as Kogoro's apprentice because he noticed [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is the real brains behind "Sleeping Kogoro" and is curious.<ref name=827p16/>

One of the most important missions of Bourbon, however, is implied that he infiltrates and undermines the Black Organization like Kir. Shuichi Akai has revealed that Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to the [[The Boss|boss]].

After the Shinichi Kudo's uproar has been calmed down by the blogger who claims that the Shinichi he saw was an illusion, and [[Heiji Hattori]] who claims that the one they saw was [[Soshi Okita]] instead, [[Rum]] sends en email to Bourbon giving him his new mission; to gather information about [[Shinichi Kudo]], telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money". Bourbon eventually accepts his new mission.

== Plot overview ==
{{main|Rei Furuya timeline}}

===Childhood===
When Rei was a child he got in fights with other children. When this happened he would get bandaged up by Elena Miyano. At one point she told him that she had to move far away and would not be able to bandage him up again. As a child Rei had the nickname "Zero".

=== National Police Association ===

=== Black Organization ===
==== With Scotch ====
[[Shuichi Akai]] (Rye), Rei Furuya (Bourbon), and [[Scotch]] were all members of the [[Black Organization]] at a point four years ago. Between four years ago and two years ago, Shuichi was found by Rei, standing over Scotch's dead body holding a smoking gun. Ever since then Rei has blamed Shuichi and has sought out to kill him.

==== Scar Akai ====
{{main|Scar Akai}}[[File:Scar Akai.jpg|right]]
Before Rei Furuya appeared as Tooru Amuro, he disguised as [[Scar Akai|Shuichi with a large burn]] with [[Vermouth]]'s help. In this disguise, he approached the close friends of [[Shuichi Akai]] to gauge whether he was truly dead. Rei first used the disguise to approach [[Jodie Starling]] at [[Teito Bank]], then [[Andre Camel]] at [[Beika Department Store]], he also sends Kogoro a text message on his deduction of the current case using a borrowed phone from a bystander. Whether he did this out of concern for the hostages or his own well being is not mentioned.
{{clear}}

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[File:Amuro_abuse.jpg|thumb|right|Amuro gets knocked over by a case suspect]]
After that Rei Furuya appeared as a private investigator on a case, where he runs into Kogoro and Conan. Through this interaction he became Kogoro's apprentice and monitored his actions by working at the Poirot Cafe below the Detective Agency. During this monitoring, he saw a video of [[Shiho Miyano]] with a Mystery Train Pass ring, resulting in a [[Black Organization]] attack in an attempt to kill her on the train. Later, through information gathered from Jodie, Takagi, and Camel, he managed to discover the truth behind Shuichi Akai's death. Now that he knows that knows he is alive, he wishes to kill Shuichi himself as a way of getting revenge for Shuichi killing [[Scotch]].

==Non-Canon Plot Overview==

=== Episode 813: [[The Shadow Approaching Amuro]] ===
This episode will be a pre-story to [[The Darkest Nightmare|Movie 20]]

=== Movie 20: [[The Darkest Nightmare]] ===
=== Movie 22: [[Zero the Enforcer]] ===

== Hints that Tooru Amuro was Bourbon ==
* The character Tooru Amuro is named after, Amuro Ray, is the mortal enemy of the character [[Shuichi Akai]] is named after, Char Aznable.
* He is a detective and very skilled at information gathering as Kir described.
* He is male as the codename Bourbon implies. The [[Black Organization]] codename pattern is that hard liquors are used for men's codenames, and [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] used a male specific pronoun to refer to Bourbon in the [[Volume_67#Department_Store_Bomber_Case|Department Store Bomber Case]].<ref name=703p3elab>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm" Kir uses the masculine only term "kare" (彼) to refer to Bourbon instead of a gender neutral term.</ref>
* He has a type of personality [[Gin]] would not like. Gin thinks Bourbon is irritating.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8, pages 13-14: "Silent Clash"</ref>
* When Rei offers Kogoro an unknown "tuition" per case Kogoro brings him on, the amount he offers is enough to get Kogoro excited and accept Rei as an apprentice without hesitation. This is strange because Rei would not be expected to have much money because he is young, lacks a formal agency, and works part time at restaurants in one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.
* Unlike other detectives so far, Rei is a calculating type who chose avoidable courses of action (or non-action) that may have resulted in harm to others if things had gone slightly differently. In his introductory case, Rei doesn't intervene when a suspect he knows to be innocent is half a step from destroying his exonerating evidence because it seems Rei was testing Kogoro. Later, Rei noticed that Conan was alone with a murderer and considered that Conan might have been kidnapped, yet said nothing about it until others realized Conan and the murder suspect were gone.
* The timing of Bourbon's report to [[Vermouth]] about [[Volume_77#Cabin_Trap|Shiho's appearance at Gunma]] suggested Rei was Bourbon. The other two Bourbon suspects, [[Subaru Okiya|Subaru]] and [[Masumi]], both had seen Haibara and were suspicious of her long before Bourbon reported Shiho to Vermouth, but the video from Gunma was the first time Rei had seen an image of Shiho or Haibara. Subaru had met Haibara in person in his [[Volume_60#Red.2C_White.2C_and_Yellow_Case|first appearance case]] and multiple times afterward. Masumi had obtained a picture of Haibara via a reflection from Agasa's glasses in the [[Volume_74#Target_on_Tape|Ayumi kidnapping case]]. Both of them should have reported to Vermouth if they were Bourbon soon after their respective encounters.
* He completely cut off communication with his close friend [[Wataru Date]]. A complete cutoff would not be necessary if Rei worked for a non-secret organization like the Tokyo Metropolitan Police District. It is more sensible that Rei was trying to protect Date from any potential dangers associated with infiltrating the Black Organization as a member of the National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning Division.
* Rei kept a bug detector with him - only Organization members have been shown to do this, while normal detectives like Conan do not.
* In 793, the first case in which appears Rei, the detective Sanji Haruoka order to the waiter (Rei himself) to bring him the Bourbon with ice.
* Amuro is the most likely suspect of the three (Subaru, Masumi, Amuro) to be Bourbon via the process of elimination. Subaru Okiya is not Bourbon, as Conan, who is normally a very careful person, invites him to stay as his Shinichi's home. If Subaru was someone that Conan did not know, it would be very unlikely that Conan would let him live in the Kudo's house and near Haibara (Sherry). Masumi Sera who looks like Shuichi Akai, is most likely a relative of the FBI agent and thus not an enemy. She also knew Conan was Shinichi, and thus must have deduced that shrinking was possible. Despite knowing this, Haibara was not threatened until her adult form was captured on video prior to the mystery train case.
* Of the three major suspects, only Amuro isn't particularly interested in Conan at first. Instead he kisses up to Kogoro. There was no reason for a member of the Black Organization to care about Conan since all the blame for Conan's prior meddling has fallen on Sherry, Kogoro, the FBI, or an unknown person. The other two suspects, Subaru and Masumi, either were interested in or knew Conan's true identity from the outset.


=== Hints that Scar Akai was Tooru Amuro/Bourbon ===
[[File:Scar_Akai.jpg|right]]
:''For the former theory, please see [[Scar Akai is Bourbon Theory]]'' 
While [[Scar Akai]] was played by Vermouth during the last appearance on the train, Bourbon had been Scar Akai during the three earlier appearances at [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group|Teito Bank]], [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|Beika Department Store]], and outside [[Volume_76#Domestic_Violence|Mouri Detective Agency]].<ref>Manga File 824, pg 5: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> The evidence that Rei being Scar Akai these times was:
* In Scar Akai's appearance at the Beika Dept. Store, Rei was the only known Black Organization operative not seen at the same time time as Scar Akai. Gin began discussing Bourbon with Kir after seeing this Scar Akai. 
* Rei was absent from his job at the Poirot when Scar Akai appeared outside the detective agency where Masumi was walking with Ran. This also notable because this occurred right after Masumi and Rei met and Rei found out Masumi was friends with Ran.
* In Scar Akai's appearances at the Teito Bank case, the Beika Dept Store, and outside Mouri Detective Agency, he never spoke in front of anyone who would know Shuichi's real voice, suggesting that this Scar Akai could not imitate voices like Vermouth.
* Rei is right-handed like Scar Akai.
* He has the right body size, face shape, and height to disguise as Scar Akai.
* He has an interest in the Mouri Detective Agency which makes sense because [[Scar_Akai_is_Bourbon_Theory#Bourbon.27s_investigation-_He_suspects_Kir_is_a_traitor.|Scar Akai saw fit to keep Kogoro's cellphone number with him]].
* Rei's hypothetical disguise suggestion in 795, a knit cap and long windbreaker, are articles of clothing Shuichi Akai and Scar Akai wear respectively.
=== Hints that Tooru Amuro was a NPA undercover agent ===
* Tooru attended police academy and was close friends with police officer [[Wataru Date]]. Amuro cut off contact with Date to protect him from the Black Organization's investigation while infiltrating. Tooru later paid his respects at the grave of detective Wataru Date.<ref>Manga Volume 77, File 808, Page 16: "The Late Grave Visit"</ref>
* Tooru reacted negatively to the presence of the FBI investigating illegally in Japan. He told them to "get out of his Japan" because they were infringing on his and the PSB's jurisdiction.

* Tooru was able to amass a number of assistants to help him capture the person he thought was Shuichi Akai despite not having the backing of the Black Organization with his plan. The assistants were members of the National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning Division.

==Relationships analysis==
===Family & Friends===
====Wataru Date====
[[File:Amuro deletes message.jpg|thumb|right|125px|Amuro deleting Date's message.]]
[[Wataru Date]] and Rei Furuya were friends in the police academy; Rei was the top ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else and fell out of contact with Date for unknown reasons. Date's last text to Rei asked him where he was and chided Rei to communicate once in a while. Rei was shown visiting Date's grave, and likely left a toothpick out of respect for Date; Date used them habitually.
Date had called Rei for a gentleman like detective Takagi.
{{clear}}

==== Jinpei Matsuda ====
It has not been specified in manga about the relationship between Rei and Matsuda. However, in movie 20, [[The Darkest Nightmare]] Matsuda was recounted by Rei to be his friend in the police academy.

====Conan Edogawa====
Rei seems to respect [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s intelligence and also seems to look out for Conan as well. He wound up protecting Conan while disguised as [[Scar Akai]] at the Teito Bank, and as Rei helped Conan get out of a kidnapping situation and doctored him when Conan took a racket to the head. Before knowing he was Bourbon, Conan was generally friendly towards Rei. After the events of the Bell Tree Express, dealing with Rei hanging around has become awkward for Conan especially because he worries for Ran's safety around a member of the Black Organization.

Although his mission concerning Sherry is over, Rei has decided to investigate Conan. Rei seems to know that Conan is using Mouri Kogoro as a puppet for his deductions. He also overheard a conversation between Jodie and Conan about how Conan helped the FBI fight the Black Organization while [[Kir]] was at Haido Central Hospital. He comments that Conan is a terrifying man.

During the Teacher Assault Case, Conan indirectly asks Rei if he is undercover in the Black Organization, whispering, "You are an enemy, right? Of the bad guys..." unaware that Rei was wearing a wire at the time, monitored by Vermouth. To throw off suspicion, Rei assures Conan in a very threatening manner that Conan was mistaken. After the Scarlet Showdown, however, Conan approaches Rei in Poirot Cafe and calls him a liar. Rei returns the favor, the two of them exchanging knowing smiles.

====Kogoro Mouri====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|Amuro wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]]
Rei tends to act ingratiating whenever [[Kogoro Mouri]] is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Rei's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Rei flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the Black Organization, Rei doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Rei is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Rei is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.
{{clear}}

====Yuya Kazami====
[[File:Yuya Kazami.jpg|thumb|right|Officer Kazami]]
Yuya Kazami is a Rei's direct subordinate who first appeared in the movie 20,''[[The Darkest Nightmare]]''. However, recently, he has officially appeared in manga, Chapter 998, for the first time, as Rei's subordinate as well.
{{clear}}

====Hyoue Kuroda====
It was revealed in [[Movie 22]] that Zero/Rei only has two superiors above him in the Public Security Bureau and that Kuroda was one of the two. It was shown when he received orders from him through a phone call.

===Black Organization===

====Scotch====
Scotch was an undercover agent, who got killed on duty. He was aware of Rei's true identity, and Rei most likely was aware of Scotch's. His death appears to be caused by Shuichi Akai, which is the reason behind Rei's vendetta against him.

====Shuichi Akai====
Rei has a deep-seeded hatred for [[Shuichi Akai]], because he thinks that Shuichi is responsible for the death of [[Scotch]]. Rei believes he is the only one capable of killing Shuichi.<ref name=703p3/>

====Vermouth====
[[File:783-6.jpg|thumb|Vermouth threatens Bourbon for holding hostage a critical secret of hers as insurance.]]

[[Vermouth]] and Bourbon keep close contact with one another, and seem to be closer to one another than, say, Bourbon and Gin. Bourbon specializes in intelligence gathering, so he likely belongs to the same [[Black_Organization#Organization_structure_and_divisions|reconnaissance division of the Black Organization]] as Vermouth. While it is still uncertain whether Bourbon is working directly under Vermouth, she seems to keep track of his actions during his missions at times,<ref>[[Detectives' Nocturne]]</ref> and he also often informs her about his discoveries or his future plans.<ref>[[Volume 78|File 818]] (Bourbon was said to have told Vermouth about Sherry's video); [[Volume 78|File 827]] (Bourbon tells Vermouth that he is now interested in "Sleeping Kogoro")</ref> Vermouth helped Bourbon create a [[Scar Akai|disguise]] that looked like Akai so he can investigate his enemy's death. Later, she somehow helped him approach [[Kogoro]] because he suspected that the detective was in contact with [[Sherry]]. Bourbon made an unknown promise to Vermouth (in File 955, it was revealed that Bourbon promised Vermouth to not let any harm comes to Conan and Ran no matter what happens.) , and she calls to ask him if he will be upholding it after the car chase in [[Detectives' Nocturne]]. 

The two have shown to be working together, not unlike Gin and Vodka, though the bond and trust between them are somewhat lacking. In addition to Bourbon's promise to Vermouth, he is also aware of her secret relationship to the boss, as noted at the end of the Scarlet Showdown. Bourbon utilizes this information to enlist Vermouth's assistance in his investigations, arranging for her secret to be released to the other members of the Organization if he is killed by her.

==== Elena Miyano ====
Rei was probably close with [[Elena Miyano]] as a child before she died. Elena would doctor Rei after he got into fights. She is also aware of his true name, calling him "Rei-kun."

====Gin====
[[Gin]] dislikes Bourbon's personality and finds him annoying for being secretive and always doing what he pleases. At the same time, Gin respects Bourbon's detective abilities. The two do not seem to be in contact with one another, as Gin has no idea what Bourbon is doing.

====Akemi Miyano====
[[Akemi Miyano]] and Rei seem to have met at some point because Akemi told Shiho that Bourbon has a rivalry with Akai. The moment where they met for this time, although not specified if it was, in File 1011 they are shown together, when a younger Akemi tries to bring Rei to her mother's office in order to heal up his wounds.

====Shiho Miyano====
Rei doesn't seem to have any hostility towards [[Shiho Miyano|Shiho]] unlike other Black Organization members. He attempted to capture the person he thought was her alive instead of trying to kill her, regretting he might have to resort to violence to do so. Rei says he had met Elena and Atsushi Miyano while they were alive. Rei does not know Shiho is [[Ai Haibara|Ai]]. During a car chase in [[Detectives' Nocturne‎]], Shiho gets a strong feeling that member of the Black Organization was behind her, but she doesn't seem to pinpoint it to Rei's pursuing [[Vehicles_in_Detective_Conan#Mazda_RX-7_2|Mazda FD RX-7]].

===Others===
====Masumi Sera====
Rei first saw [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] at a train station four years ago. He approached Scotch while he was teaching Masumi several notes on a base guitar. It is unknown whether he saw that she was connected to Shuichi at that time.

Much later when Conan gets kidnapped by a murderer they cross each-other's paths again. After both of them save Conan, he becomes very surprised to see her and wonders why she is there and presumably notices that she looks similar to Shuichi Akai. The next day Rei takes the day off from his job at Poirot cafe. In order to confirm his theory, Rei once again disguises himself as [[Scar Akai]] in order to gauge her reaction. Suddenly, Masumi sees him in the crowd ahead and just like Jodie and Camel, Masumi becomes just as shocked by his appearance. She runs after him, but he disappears before she can catch him. Ran wonders who Masumi was chasing, but Masumi replies she thought it was someone she knew. Masumi silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was. While Rei watches her from a little ahead, confirming his suspicion that Masumi is related to Akai.

During another case, Masumi recalls a time that she saw her brother in a train station four years ago with Scotch, who taught her the basics of a bass guitar. Masumi believes that the man who approached them at that time wearing a hat that hid his face must have been Rei. However, each time she asks him if they have met before, he avoids the question. When she announces aloud that her brother's name is [[Shuichi Akai]], Rei inwardly comments that her brother had killed Scotch.

Despite his hatred toward Akai, it doesn't seem like he is letting it cloud his judgment toward Masumi

==Speculation==
Gin has revealed that Bourbon is as secretive as Vermouth. Bourbon has shown a friendly relationship with Vermouth but not with other members so far. Bourbon even hid some details from Conan. It is possible that Bourbon, as well as Kir, is a member who doesn´t like the Organization. Date himself revealed that Bourbon was the best man at the police academy, and that Bourbon was a gentleman like Takagi, too. Besides, at the end of Takagi´s Kidnapping Case, Bourbon refers to Date as "my friend", which means he had no option but to cut all means of contact with him for his own safety.

== Name origin ==
Tooru Amuro has a [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] inspired name. He is named after the main protagonist [[wikipedia:Amuro Ray|'''Amuro''' Ray]], and Amuro's voice actor [[Tohru_Furuya|'''Tohru''' Furuya]].<ref>Sherry's Soliloquy http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/2609-file-793-private-eye/page__view__findpost__p__207297</ref> Amuro is also played by Furuya in the animated series. His real name, Rei Furuya, shares the same source.

{{nihongo|'''Rei Furuya'''|降谷零|Furuya Rei}}, also known as {{nihongo|'''Tooru Amuro'''|安室透|Amuro Tōru}} and {{nihongo|'''Bourbon'''|バーボン|Bābon}}, is a [[Public Security Bureau|National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning, Chiyoda Division]]<ref name="Postcard2016" /> agent working undercover in the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a recently dispatched operative who specializes in deduction and intelligence gathering and frequently works with [[Vermouth]]. At present, Rei poses as a private detective who works as a waiter at Café Poirot and is [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s apprentice.

==Background==
Little is known about Rei Furuya as a PSB agent. Most of his appearances are as the Café Poirot waiter and private eye Tooru Amuro, or as the [[Black Organization]] operative Bourbon.

Rei makes his first appearance as Tooru Amuro when acting as a private investigator. He meets [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the Mouris while disguised as a waiter in order to help a client with a case<ref name=f793>[[Volume 75#Private Eye|Volume 75, Files 9-11: "Private Eye"]]</ref>. When Sleeping Kogoro appears to solve a case relating to his client before he can, he claims he wants to learn from [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]<ref name=f793 />. Rei succeeds in becoming his apprentice by offering him a hefty tuition fee as an incentive <ref name=f793 />. Thus, he begins working at Café Poirot, right under the Mouri Detective Agency, to remain close to Kogoro <ref name=f793 />. Presently, he continues to work under this cover.

Bourbon is first mentioned when [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] reports that a new Organization member is on the move, with the goal of capturing the escaped scientist [[Shiho Miyano]]<ref name=622p4>[[Volume 60#Red, White, and Yellow Case|Volume 60, File 3, Page 4: "Red, White and Yellow Case"]]</ref>. Kir reports that Bourbon has excellent information gathering skills and keen insight<ref name=622p4 />. However, Bourbon's first actual appearance is when disguised as [[Scar Akai]]<ref name=704p15>[[Volume 67#Department Store Bomber Case|Volume 67, File 8 (704): "Department Store Bomber Case"]]</ref> in order to determine the veracity of [[Akai Shuichi]]'s death.

Currently, Rei's main appearance as a PSB agent is during the [[The Scarlet Return|Scarlet Showdown]], when he orders around subordinates during the confrontation with [[Yusaku Kudo]] (who was disguised as [[Subaru Okiya]])<ref>[[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|Volume 85, File 4 (897): "Scarlet Truth"]]</ref>. He additionally gives an order to a PSB subordinate, [[Yuya Kazami]], during Haibara's Lost Phone Strap case<ref>[[Volume 94#Haibara's Lost Phone Strap Case|Volume 94, File 6 (998): "Search for the Phone Strap!"]]</ref>.

=== Childhood ===
As a child, it is likely that Rei often got into fights. During the Tense Tea Party case, Rei is shown in a flashback sequence with [[Elena Miyano]]<ref name="889p13">[[Volume 84#Tea Poisoning Murder Case|Volume 84, File 7 (889): "Zero"]]</ref>. During this flashback, Elena chides Rei for fighting and implies that she has treated his injuries more than once<ref name=889p13/>. She additionally calls herself 'sensei', suggesting that Rei had a teacher or doctor-like relationship with her<ref name=889p13/>. During the Black Bunny's Club case, it is revealed that he is half Japanese, which was the main reason for him to get bullied and involved in many fights.

Rei's childhood nickname was 'Zero', which has been used by [[Scotch]]<ref name=954p1>[[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|Volume 90, File 6 (954): "Sanction of the Betrayal"]]</ref>, his childhood friend<ref>https://imgur.com/a/y2BAH</ref>.

He is known to have ties with other members of the Miyano family. In the [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Jet-Black Mystery Train]] case, he mentions that he has met [[Shiho Miyano]]'s parents, [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] and [[Atsushi Miyano]], as well as her sister [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]]<ref name=824p5>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Volume 78, File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"]]</ref>.

=== Black Organization ===
At some point in the past, Rei began inflitrating the [[Black Organization]] for the PSB, eventually gaining the codename Bourbon. In the Organization, he works as an agent specializing in deduction and information gathering. [[Gin]] even goes as far to call him a 'great detective like Sherlock Holmes'<ref name=704p15/>.

==== Rivalry with Akai Shuichi ====

During his time in the Organization, at some point he became the rival of [[Shuichi Akai]] (alias Dai Moroboshi). However, despite the rivalry, they may have still worked together. During the [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|Unfriendly Girls Band]] case, [[Masumi Sera]] mentions that she spotted Rei, Shuichi, and Scotch on the same train platform<ref name=937p12>[[Volume 88#Girls Band Murder Case|Volume 88, File 11 (937): "The Disappeared Clue"]]</ref>. As Shuichi and Scotch were holding instrument bags that may have held rifles, it is possible that they were on a mission together. Rei additionally suspected that Shuichi was a spy for the FBI<ref name=824p5/>, which turned out to be the case.

Rei's animosity towards Akai Shuichi appears to stem from the death of Scotch, a fellow spy from the PSB and his childhood friend. At some point in the past, Scotch was found out as a NOC and confronted by Shuichi on top of a rooftop<ref name=954p1 />. During this confrontation, Scotch stole away Shuichi's gun and attempted to commit suicide with it. While Shuichi succeeded in talking him down him temporarily, the sound of Rei's steps coming up the stairs distracted Shuichi, allowing Scotch to commit suicide. And so Shuichi, not knowing that Rei was a fellow NOC, pretended that he had been the one to kill Scotch<ref name=954p1 />.

While Rei is aware that Scotch committed suicide<ref name=954p1 />, he believes that Shuichi forced or pressured Scotch into doing it. Thus, he still blames Shuichi for Scotch's death.

== Personality ==
[[File:Amuro_Personality.jpg|thumb|right|Rei and Ran are happy that Kogoro cracked the code in the [[Detectives' Nocturne]] Case.]]
Rei has a cheerful personality. He is also generous, bringing a plate of sandwiches for the detective agency bought with his money. In more serious situations, he seems to be patient, keeping calm even while others are abusing him. Although somewhat of a "cool type", he does not hide his emotions and is quite expressive. Like other detectives in ''[[Detective Conan]]'', he enjoys presenting his deductions about cases to others. Kogoro calls him "effeminate".

Rei has a darker side. He is manipulative, tricking others into performing certain actions so he can gather information. He favors using psychological traps and catching his enemies offguard. Rei can also be extremely cruel in the pursuit of goals. He planned to run over and hospitalize an elementary school teacher with his car in order to lure out FBI agents, and he would have allowed a suspect destroy his exonerating evidence in order to test Kogoro. Rei alternates between going out of his way to care about the wellbeing others and ignoring them when it is inconvenient. As Scar Akai, he saved Conan at the [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group|Teito bank heist]], but neglected to inform Ran and Kogoro later when he noticed that Conan might have been kidnapped by a murderer in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].

[[Gin]] says Bourbon has a secretive personality like [[Vermouth]], and that no one can ever guess what he's up to or what he will do.<ref name=703p3/> [[Vodka]] says that Bourbon hates Shuichi Akai even more than Gin does, presumably because Rei thinks that Akai killed Scotch.<ref name=703p3/> Bourbon believes he is the only person capable of killing Akai.<ref name=703p3/> Gin said that if Bourbon found out Akai was alive, he would surely boast that his suspicion was correct.<ref name=703p3/> Gin and Bourbon probably don't get along and they don't seem to communicate with one another.<ref name=703p3/> 
{{clear}}

== Appearance ==
[[File:Low res Amuro colored.PNG|thumb|left|125px|Colored drawing by Gosho Aoyama]]
Rei is a good-looking man (claimed by [[Sonoko]] and [[Ayumi]]) with dark skin, lighter than, but closer to [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]]'s color and has brown hair <ref> "Lets Talk with Gosho Day 2014" : Amuro-san’s white hair… is that dyed? Aah.Rather than white it’s brown. I can’t answer this. His dark skin too, there is a profound meaning behind it. (laughs) </ref> He wears glasses at first, but it is unknown if he actually needs them because he was using them to conceal his identity at the time and takes them off midway through the case and has not had them on since. Unlike other Black Organization members, he dresses mostly casually and sometimes wears outfits with only a little black, suggesting that he is an undercover of the Black Organization.
{{clear}}

== Abilities ==
=== Deduction and intelligence ===
Rei is a good detective with excellent information gathering skills. Although, since Rei is undercover as Kogoro's apprentice, he hasn't shown his real deduction skills, which is his specialty in the Black Organization. His friend, [[Wataru Date]], said Rei was the smartest student at the police academy.<ref name=807p11>Manga [[Volume 77]], File 1 (807), pg 11: "The Strongest Senpai"</ref>

=== Driving ===
Rei is a capable driver, capable of precisely swinging his car in front of another during a high speed car chase in order to stop it with a controlled collision.

=== Tennis ===
Rei is an excellent tennis player. He claimed he was a junior champion in middle school, but quit after he injured his shoulder.<ref name=825p7>Manga Volume 78, File 8 (825), pg 7: "Special Coach"</ref> He offered to tutor [[Sonoko]] who had surpassed her teammates and friends.

=== First aid ===
When Conan received a concussion from an errant tennis racket, Rei "carried out the procedures pretty efficiently" before the doctor even arrived.<ref name=825p11>Manga Volume 78, File 8 (825), pg 11: "Special Coach"</ref>

=== Lockpicking ===
Rei seems to carry lockpicks with him and was able to lockpick a door fairly quickly. He claimed he learned it from a friend in a security company.<ref name=825p15>Manga Volume 78, File 8 (825), pg 15: "Special Coach"</ref> Japan's law prohibits possession of any lock picking tools and carries a penalty of one year imprisonment or a 500,000 yen fine.<ref>[http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%89%B9%E6%AE%8A%E9%96%8B%E9%8C%A0%E7%94%A8%E5%85%B7%E3%81%AE%E6%89%80%E6%8C%81%E3%81%AE%E7%A6%81%E6%AD%A2%E7%AD%89%E3%81%AB%E9%96%A2%E3%81%99%E3%82%8B%E6%B3%95%E5%BE%8B Japan Possession of Lock-picking Tools Act - Wikipedia]</ref>

=== Martial arts ===
Rei is good at boxing,<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__view__findpost__p__287218 青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY] (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013 安室はボクシングをしている。 (Amuro is doing boxing.)</ref> shown when a single punch to an attacker's gut causes him to spray blood from the mouth and collapse.<ref name=843p15>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 4 (843), pg 15: "A parcel for Kudo-samakata"</ref> Rei also likely knows some [[Wikipedia:Jujutsu|Jujutsu]] from his time in police academy; Jujutsu is routinely taught to Tokyo police officers to aid in suspect immobilization and arrest. [[Wataru Date]] said Rei was the strongest student at the police academy.<ref name=807p11/>

==Mission==
Bourbon's primary mission was to search for the escaped scientist [[Shiho Miyano]], which the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spy [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] heard about and informed the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] of. He also had a second secret mission fueled by his hunch that his archenemy Shuichi Akai should not have died so easily;<ref name=703p3>Manga [[Volume 67]], File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm"</ref> he received the [[The Boss|boss]]' permission to verify Shuichi's death. He approached the FBI as [[Scar Akai|an Shuichi lookalike]] by using [[Vermouth]]'s disguise help hoping to see if Akai was truly dead.<ref name=824p7>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824), pg 7: "Final Destination"</ref> He later apprenticed himself to [[Kogoro Mouri]] because Bourbon suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry.<ref name=827p16>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 10 (827), pg 16: "The key to solving the mystery"</ref> (Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] and assumed that Sherry planted it.)

Currently, Bourbon thinks Shiho has been killed,<ref name=824p12>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824), pg 12: "Final Destination"</ref> and had come to believe Shuichi was dead as well until a suspicious man shrouded by smoke threw a grenade by him on the [[Volume_78#Mystery_Train|Mystery Express]].<ref name=824p16>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824), pg 16: "Final Destination"</ref> The sighting caused Bourbon to second guess himself and request that Vermouth show him the detailed files from before and after Shuichi's death again.<ref name=824p16/> Bourbon has also decided to continue as Kogoro's apprentice because he noticed [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is the real brains behind "Sleeping Kogoro" and is curious.<ref name=827p16/>

One of the most important missions of Bourbon, however, is implied that he infiltrates and undermines the Black Organization like Kir. Shuichi Akai has revealed that Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to the [[The Boss|boss]].

After the Shinichi Kudo's uproar has been calmed down by the blogger who claims that the Shinichi he saw was an illusion, and [[Heiji Hattori]] who claims that the one they saw was [[Soshi Okita]] instead, [[Rum]] sends en email to Bourbon giving him his new mission; to gather information about [[Shinichi Kudo]], telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money". Bourbon eventually accepts his new mission.

== Plot overview ==
{{main|Rei Furuya timeline}}

===Childhood===
When Rei was a child he got in fights with other children. When this happened he would get bandaged up by Elena Miyano. At one point she told him that she had to move far away and would not be able to bandage him up again. As a child Rei had the nickname "Zero".

=== National Police Association ===

=== Black Organization ===
==== With Scotch ====
[[Shuichi Akai]] (Rye), Rei Furuya (Bourbon), and [[Scotch]] were all members of the [[Black Organization]] at a point four years ago. Between four years ago and two years ago, Shuichi was found by Rei, standing over Scotch's dead body holding a smoking gun. Ever since then Rei has blamed Shuichi and has sought out to kill him.

==== Scar Akai ====
{{main|Scar Akai}}[[File:Scar Akai.jpg|right]]
Before Rei Furuya appeared as Tooru Amuro, he disguised as [[Scar Akai|Shuichi with a large burn]] with [[Vermouth]]'s help. In this disguise, he approached the close friends of [[Shuichi Akai]] to gauge whether he was truly dead. Rei first used the disguise to approach [[Jodie Starling]] at [[Teito Bank]], then [[Andre Camel]] at [[Beika Department Store]], he also sends Kogoro a text message on his deduction of the current case using a borrowed phone from a bystander. Whether he did this out of concern for the hostages or his own well being is not mentioned.
{{clear}}

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[File:Amuro_abuse.jpg|thumb|right|Amuro gets knocked over by a case suspect]]
After that Rei Furuya appeared as a private investigator on a case, where he runs into Kogoro and Conan. Through this interaction he became Kogoro's apprentice and monitored his actions by working at the Poirot Cafe below the Detective Agency. During this monitoring, he saw a video of [[Shiho Miyano]] with a Mystery Train Pass ring, resulting in a [[Black Organization]] attack in an attempt to kill her on the train. Later, through information gathered from Jodie, Takagi, and Camel, he managed to discover the truth behind Shuichi Akai's death. Now that he knows that knows he is alive, he wishes to kill Shuichi himself as a way of getting revenge for Shuichi killing [[Scotch]].

==Non-Canon Plot Overview==

=== Episode 813: [[The Shadow Approaching Amuro]] ===
This episode will be a pre-story to [[The Darkest Nightmare|Movie 20]]

=== Movie 20: [[The Darkest Nightmare]] ===
=== Movie 22: [[Zero the Enforcer]] ===

== Hints that Tooru Amuro was Bourbon ==
* The character Tooru Amuro is named after, Amuro Ray, is the mortal enemy of the character [[Shuichi Akai]] is named after, Char Aznable.
* He is a detective and very skilled at information gathering as Kir described.
* He is male as the codename Bourbon implies. The [[Black Organization]] codename pattern is that hard liquors are used for men's codenames, and [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] used a male specific pronoun to refer to Bourbon in the [[Volume_67#Department_Store_Bomber_Case|Department Store Bomber Case]].<ref name=703p3elab>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm" Kir uses the masculine only term "kare" (彼) to refer to Bourbon instead of a gender neutral term.</ref>
* He has a type of personality [[Gin]] would not like. Gin thinks Bourbon is irritating.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8, pages 13-14: "Silent Clash"</ref>
* When Rei offers Kogoro an unknown "tuition" per case Kogoro brings him on, the amount he offers is enough to get Kogoro excited and accept Rei as an apprentice without hesitation. This is strange because Rei would not be expected to have much money because he is young, lacks a formal agency, and works part time at restaurants in one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.
* Unlike other detectives so far, Rei is a calculating type who chose avoidable courses of action (or non-action) that may have resulted in harm to others if things had gone slightly differently. In his introductory case, Rei doesn't intervene when a suspect he knows to be innocent is half a step from destroying his exonerating evidence because it seems Rei was testing Kogoro. Later, Rei noticed that Conan was alone with a murderer and considered that Conan might have been kidnapped, yet said nothing about it until others realized Conan and the murder suspect were gone.
* The timing of Bourbon's report to [[Vermouth]] about [[Volume_77#Cabin_Trap|Shiho's appearance at Gunma]] suggested Rei was Bourbon. The other two Bourbon suspects, [[Subaru Okiya|Subaru]] and [[Masumi]], both had seen Haibara and were suspicious of her long before Bourbon reported Shiho to Vermouth, but the video from Gunma was the first time Rei had seen an image of Shiho or Haibara. Subaru had met Haibara in person in his [[Volume_60#Red.2C_White.2C_and_Yellow_Case|first appearance case]] and multiple times afterward. Masumi had obtained a picture of Haibara via a reflection from Agasa's glasses in the [[Volume_74#Target_on_Tape|Ayumi kidnapping case]]. Both of them should have reported to Vermouth if they were Bourbon soon after their respective encounters.
* He completely cut off communication with his close friend [[Wataru Date]]. A complete cutoff would not be necessary if Rei worked for a non-secret organization like the Tokyo Metropolitan Police District. It is more sensible that Rei was trying to protect Date from any potential dangers associated with infiltrating the Black Organization as a member of the National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning Division.
* Rei kept a bug detector with him - only Organization members have been shown to do this, while normal detectives like Conan do not.
* In 793, the first case in which appears Rei, the detective Sanji Haruoka order to the waiter (Rei himself) to bring him the Bourbon with ice.
* Amuro is the most likely suspect of the three (Subaru, Masumi, Amuro) to be Bourbon via the process of elimination. Subaru Okiya is not Bourbon, as Conan, who is normally a very careful person, invites him to stay as his Shinichi's home. If Subaru was someone that Conan did not know, it would be very unlikely that Conan would let him live in the Kudo's house and near Haibara (Sherry). Masumi Sera who looks like Shuichi Akai, is most likely a relative of the FBI agent and thus not an enemy. She also knew Conan was Shinichi, and thus must have deduced that shrinking was possible. Despite knowing this, Haibara was not threatened until her adult form was captured on video prior to the mystery train case.
* Of the three major suspects, only Amuro isn't particularly interested in Conan at first. Instead he kisses up to Kogoro. There was no reason for a member of the Black Organization to care about Conan since all the blame for Conan's prior meddling has fallen on Sherry, Kogoro, the FBI, or an unknown person. The other two suspects, Subaru and Masumi, either were interested in or knew Conan's true identity from the outset.


=== Hints that Scar Akai was Tooru Amuro/Bourbon ===
[[File:Scar_Akai.jpg|right]]
:''For the former theory, please see [[Scar Akai is Bourbon Theory]]'' 
While [[Scar Akai]] was played by Vermouth during the last appearance on the train, Bourbon had been Scar Akai during the three earlier appearances at [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group|Teito Bank]], [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|Beika Department Store]], and outside [[Volume_76#Domestic_Violence|Mouri Detective Agency]].<ref>Manga File 824, pg 5: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> The evidence that Rei being Scar Akai these times was:
* In Scar Akai's appearance at the Beika Dept. Store, Rei was the only known Black Organization operative not seen at the same time time as Scar Akai. Gin began discussing Bourbon with Kir after seeing this Scar Akai. 
* Rei was absent from his job at the Poirot when Scar Akai appeared outside the detective agency where Masumi was walking with Ran. This also notable because this occurred right after Masumi and Rei met and Rei found out Masumi was friends with Ran.
* In Scar Akai's appearances at the Teito Bank case, the Beika Dept Store, and outside Mouri Detective Agency, he never spoke in front of anyone who would know Shuichi's real voice, suggesting that this Scar Akai could not imitate voices like Vermouth.
* Rei is right-handed like Scar Akai.
* He has the right body size, face shape, and height to disguise as Scar Akai.
* He has an interest in the Mouri Detective Agency which makes sense because [[Scar_Akai_is_Bourbon_Theory#Bourbon.27s_investigation-_He_suspects_Kir_is_a_traitor.|Scar Akai saw fit to keep Kogoro's cellphone number with him]].
* Rei's hypothetical disguise suggestion in 795, a knit cap and long windbreaker, are articles of clothing Shuichi Akai and Scar Akai wear respectively.
=== Hints that Tooru Amuro was a NPA undercover agent ===
* Tooru attended police academy and was close friends with police officer [[Wataru Date]]. Amuro cut off contact with Date to protect him from the Black Organization's investigation while infiltrating. Tooru later paid his respects at the grave of detective Wataru Date.<ref>Manga Volume 77, File 808, Page 16: "The Late Grave Visit"</ref>
* Tooru reacted negatively to the presence of the FBI investigating illegally in Japan. He told them to "get out of his Japan" because they were infringing on his and the PSB's jurisdiction.

* Tooru was able to amass a number of assistants to help him capture the person he thought was Shuichi Akai despite not having the backing of the Black Organization with his plan. The assistants were members of the National Police Agency Security Bureau Security Planning Division.

==Relationships analysis==
===Family & Friends===
====Wataru Date====
[[File:Amuro deletes message.jpg|thumb|right|125px|Amuro deleting Date's message.]]
[[Wataru Date]] and Rei Furuya were friends in the police academy; Rei was the top ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else and fell out of contact with Date for unknown reasons. Date's last text to Rei asked him where he was and chided Rei to communicate once in a while. Rei was shown visiting Date's grave, and likely left a toothpick out of respect for Date; Date used them habitually.
Date had called Rei for a gentleman like detective Takagi.
{{clear}}

==== Jinpei Matsuda ====
It has not been specified in manga about the relationship between Rei and Matsuda. However, in movie 20, [[The Darkest Nightmare]] Matsuda was recounted by Rei to be his friend in the police academy.

====Conan Edogawa====
Rei seems to respect [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s intelligence and also seems to look out for Conan as well. He wound up protecting Conan while disguised as [[Scar Akai]] at the Teito Bank, and as Rei helped Conan get out of a kidnapping situation and doctored him when Conan took a racket to the head. Before knowing he was Bourbon, Conan was generally friendly towards Rei. After the events of the Bell Tree Express, dealing with Rei hanging around has become awkward for Conan especially because he worries for Ran's safety around a member of the Black Organization.

Although his mission concerning Sherry is over, Rei has decided to investigate Conan. Rei seems to know that Conan is using Mouri Kogoro as a puppet for his deductions. He also overheard a conversation between Jodie and Conan about how Conan helped the FBI fight the Black Organization while [[Kir]] was at Haido Central Hospital. He comments that Conan is a terrifying man.

During the Teacher Assault Case, Conan indirectly asks Rei if he is undercover in the Black Organization, whispering, "You are an enemy, right? Of the bad guys..." unaware that Rei was wearing a wire at the time, monitored by Vermouth. To throw off suspicion, Rei assures Conan in a very threatening manner that Conan was mistaken. After the Scarlet Showdown, however, Conan approaches Rei in Poirot Cafe and calls him a liar. Rei returns the favor, the two of them exchanging knowing smiles.

====Kogoro Mouri====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|Amuro wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]]
Rei tends to act ingratiating whenever [[Kogoro Mouri]] is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Rei's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Rei flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the Black Organization, Rei doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Rei is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Rei is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.
{{clear}}

====Yuya Kazami====
[[File:Yuya Kazami.jpg|thumb|right|Officer Kazami]]
Yuya Kazami is a Rei's direct subordinate who first appeared in the movie 20,''[[The Darkest Nightmare]]''. However, recently, he has officially appeared in manga, Chapter 998, for the first time, as Rei's subordinate as well.
{{clear}}

====Hyoue Kuroda====
It was revealed in [[Movie 22]] that Zero/Rei only has two superiors above him in the Public Security Bureau and that Kuroda was one of the two. It was shown when he received orders from him through a phone call.

===Black Organization===

====Scotch====
Scotch was an undercover agent, who got killed on duty. He was aware of Rei's true identity, and Rei most likely was aware of Scotch's. His death appears to be caused by Shuichi Akai, which is the reason behind Rei's vendetta against him.

====Shuichi Akai====
Rei has a deep-seeded hatred for [[Shuichi Akai]], because he thinks that Shuichi is responsible for the death of [[Scotch]]. Rei believes he is the only one capable of killing Shuichi.<ref name=703p3/>

====Vermouth====
[[File:783-6.jpg|thumb|Vermouth threatens Bourbon for holding hostage a critical secret of hers as insurance.]]

[[Vermouth]] and Bourbon keep close contact with one another, and seem to be closer to one another than, say, Bourbon and Gin. Bourbon specializes in intelligence gathering, so he likely belongs to the same [[Black_Organization#Organization_structure_and_divisions|reconnaissance division of the Black Organization]] as Vermouth. While it is still uncertain whether Bourbon is working directly under Vermouth, she seems to keep track of his actions during his missions at times,<ref>[[Detectives' Nocturne]]</ref> and he also often informs her about his discoveries or his future plans.<ref>[[Volume 78|File 818]] (Bourbon was said to have told Vermouth about Sherry's video); [[Volume 78|File 827]] (Bourbon tells Vermouth that he is now interested in "Sleeping Kogoro")</ref> Vermouth helped Bourbon create a [[Scar Akai|disguise]] that looked like Akai so he can investigate his enemy's death. Later, she somehow helped him approach [[Kogoro]] because he suspected that the detective was in contact with [[Sherry]]. Bourbon made an unknown promise to Vermouth (in File 955, it was revealed that Bourbon promised Vermouth to not let any harm comes to Conan and Ran no matter what happens.) , and she calls to ask him if he will be upholding it after the car chase in [[Detectives' Nocturne]]. 

The two have shown to be working together, not unlike Gin and Vodka, though the bond and trust between them are somewhat lacking. In addition to Bourbon's promise to Vermouth, he is also aware of her secret relationship to the boss, as noted at the end of the Scarlet Showdown. Bourbon utilizes this information to enlist Vermouth's assistance in his investigations, arranging for her secret to be released to the other members of the Organization if he is killed by her.

==== Elena Miyano ====
Rei was probably close with [[Elena Miyano]] as a child before she died. Elena would doctor Rei after he got into fights. She is also aware of his true name, calling him "Rei-kun."

====Gin====
[[Gin]] dislikes Bourbon's personality and finds him annoying for being secretive and always doing what he pleases. At the same time, Gin respects Bourbon's detective abilities. The two do not seem to be in contact with one another, as Gin has no idea what Bourbon is doing.

====Akemi Miyano====
[[Akemi Miyano]] and Rei seem to have met at some point because Akemi told Shiho that Bourbon has a rivalry with Akai. The moment where they met for this time, although not specified if it was, in File 1011 they are shown together, when a younger Akemi tries to bring Rei to her mother's office in order to heal up his wounds.

====Shiho Miyano====
Rei doesn't seem to have any hostility towards [[Shiho Miyano|Shiho]] unlike other Black Organization members. He attempted to capture the person he thought was her alive instead of trying to kill her, regretting he might have to resort to violence to do so. Rei says he had met Elena and Atsushi Miyano while they were alive. Rei does not know Shiho is [[Ai Haibara|Ai]]. During a car chase in [[Detectives' Nocturne‎]], Shiho gets a strong feeling that member of the Black Organization was behind her, but she doesn't seem to pinpoint it to Rei's pursuing [[Vehicles_in_Detective_Conan#Mazda_RX-7_2|Mazda FD RX-7]].

===Others===
====Masumi Sera====
Rei first saw [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] at a train station four years ago. He approached Scotch while he was teaching Masumi several notes on a base guitar. It is unknown whether he saw that she was connected to Shuichi at that time.

Much later when Conan gets kidnapped by a murderer they cross each-other's paths again. After both of them save Conan, he becomes very surprised to see her and wonders why she is there and presumably notices that she looks similar to Shuichi Akai. The next day Rei takes the day off from his job at Poirot cafe. In order to confirm his theory, Rei once again disguises himself as [[Scar Akai]] in order to gauge her reaction. Suddenly, Masumi sees him in the crowd ahead and just like Jodie and Camel, Masumi becomes just as shocked by his appearance. She runs after him, but he disappears before she can catch him. Ran wonders who Masumi was chasing, but Masumi replies she thought it was someone she knew. Masumi silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was. While Rei watches her from a little ahead, confirming his suspicion that Masumi is related to Akai.

During another case, Masumi recalls a time that she saw her brother in a train station four years ago with Scotch, who taught her the basics of a bass guitar. Masumi believes that the man who approached them at that time wearing a hat that hid his face must have been Rei. However, each time she asks him if they have met before, he avoids the question. When she announces aloud that her brother's name is [[Shuichi Akai]], Rei inwardly comments that her brother had killed Scotch.

Despite his hatred toward Akai, it doesn't seem like he is letting it cloud his judgment toward Masumi

==Speculation==
Gin has revealed that Bourbon is as secretive as Vermouth. Bourbon has shown a friendly relationship with Vermouth but not with other members so far. Bourbon even hid some details from Conan. It is possible that Bourbon, as well as Kir, is a member who doesn´t like the Organization. Date himself revealed that Bourbon was the best man at the police academy, and that Bourbon was a gentleman like Takagi, too. Besides, at the end of Takagi´s Kidnapping Case, Bourbon refers to Date as "my friend", which means he had no option but to cut all means of contact with him for his own safety.

== Name origin ==
Tooru Amuro has a [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] inspired name. He is named after the main protagonist [[wikipedia:Amuro Ray|'''Amuro''' Ray]], and Amuro's voice actor [[Tohru_Furuya|'''Tohru''' Furuya]].<ref>Sherry's Soliloquy http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/2609-file-793-private-eye/page__view__findpost__p__207297</ref> Amuro is also played by Furuya in the animated series. His real name, Rei Furuya, shares the same source.

'''{{nihongo|Sumiko Kobayashi|小林澄子|Kobayashi Sumiko}}''', also known as '''Liz Faulkner''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the homeroom teacher of [[Conan Edogawa]] and the girlfriend of [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]]. She is also the self-appointed (and somewhat unwelcome) "manager" of the [[Detective Boys]].

== Background ==
Sumiko Kobayashi attended Teitan Elementary and was in the 18th graduating class, two classes above [[Kazunobu Chiba]]. She became the new class teacher of [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]] after their previous teacher had married and retired. Her harsh behavior towards her charges had earned her the nickname "oni-baba" (hag) amongst her students.

One night, the Detective Boys came into the school to investigate strange occurrences involving busts from art class and an anatomy model from the sick room, which had been mysteriously moved around, and the unexplained absence of the vice principal. The busts and the model had actually been used by Sumiko for a rehearsal for the next parent-teacher conference. Sumiko is in fact very fond of children, but her kindness had caused her to have very little control over her class at her previous school, resulting in a disastrous parent-teacher conference. To fix this, she had forced herself to be strict and harsh when she transferred to Teitan Elementary, but after the Detective Boys discovered her nicer side, she decided to be herself again and has become very popular with her students ever since.<ref>Manga Chapter 155: Is Someone There?</ref>

On one occasion, she accompanied Conan and the Detective Boys to an interview which became a murder investigation as they found the reporter slain. After witnessing Conan in action, she announced her desire to join the Detective Boys and become their manager - a decision which was immediately vetoed<ref>Manga Chapter 517: The Detective Boys</ref> and is commonly neglected in the field.<ref>Manga Chapter 691: Conan vs. The Detective Boys</ref>

As it turned out later, when Sumiko was still a small child, she had confronted two no-good juveniles attempting to steal mangas from a bookshop. When the culprits contemptuously shoved her aside, a young boy intervened on her behalf, cooly citing a paragraph from Japanese law concerning theft. As a sign of gratitude, Sumiko bought her rescuer a drink ornamented with a circle of sakura flowers made from the straw wrapper, as a symbol of goodness and justice (referring to the sakura shaped Japanese police badges). It would not be until many years later that she would encounter him again as a member of the police force, under the name of [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].<ref>Manga Chapters 687-689: Sakura Girl Case</ref>

Shiratori recognized Sumiko on first sight, and it turned out he had held deep feelings for her all these years. However, he wanted to win properly Sumiko's affection first and then tell her about what he viewed as the hand of fate, so he kept silent about their first encounter and banned the Detective Kids from helping him in any way. This scheme backfired when she found out that she had a dead lookalike in the police department whom Shiratori had once pursued romantically (unbeknownst to her, that was because Shiratori mistook her for Sumiko)...

Thinking that Shiratori considered her a mere replacement for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]], Sumiko was understandably hurt and started distancing herself from him, even after Shiratori personally explained their common past to her - a move which came at a bad time, because she had become an unwitting (and the sole) witness to a murder and the murderer would therefore try everything to silence her. And for worse, Sumiko's own memories of their encounter were much more vague than Shiratori's own. so she thought Sato was his "girl of destiny".<ref>Manga Chapters 707: The Sakura Girl is...?</ref> When the culprit was apprehended and Shiratori subdued him with words, Sumiko did indeed remember Shiratori as her childhood savior/friend, and the relationship was reaffirmed.<ref>Manga Chapters 708: The Sakura in Full Bloom</ref>

== Personality ==
Sumiko is very kind and fond of children, considering them the most wonderful thing in the world. Sumiko is also quite timid and sensitive, not to mention that she suffers from serious stagefright. Even though she has appointed herself the manager of the Detective Boys, the kids often leave her out of case or ignore her warnings. She was also quite hurt when she believed [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Inspector Shiratori]] was only interested in her because of her resemblance to [[Miwako Sato]] - a resemblance so striking it even fooled Sato's close associates [[Kazunobu Chiba|Chiba]] and [[Yumi Miyamoto|Yumi]].<ref>Manga Chapter 706: Kobayashi-sensei's Misunderstanding</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 707: The Sakura Girl is...</ref>

In contrast of Sumiko's physical resemblance to Sato, however, the two women have almost entirely different personality traits: While Sato is reckless, outspoken, daring, and impulsive, Sumiko is more gentle, softspoken, cautious, and careful in any given situation.

Sumiko loves mystery novels, particularly the works of [[Edogawa Rampo]]. Because of this, [[Ai Haibara]] suggests that she and Shiratori would work well together because Sumiko would enjoy hearing about cases from him.<ref>Manga Chapter 690: The Haunted Warehouse</ref>

== Plot overview ==

===School Mystery Case (Manga: [[Volume 16#School Mystery Case|154-155]]; Anime: [[The Seven Mysteries of Teitan Elementary School Case|112]])===

In her first appearance, Sumiko was known by the students of Class 1-B, including Conan and the Detective Boys, as a strict, mean teacher, who was always disciplining her class, never showing any kindness. Her initial personality led to her students nicknaming her "Old Demon Hag". Then, one night, the [[Detective Boys]] decided to figure out why many dolls were missing one after another. Conan deduces the one behind the "kidnappings" was Sumiko herself, which relieved the children. Sumiko finally revealed the reason behind her "dictator-like" teaching was that, in the past, two of her students fought at a parent-teacher conference, because of her lack in discipline. She would come at Teitan Elementary at night to practice for the next parent-teacher conference, so there would be no more fights. However, with some suggestions from the Detective Boys, she changed her teaching style and became more well liked.

===Missing Older Brother Case (Manga: [[Volume 18#Missing Older Brother Case|176]]; Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]])===

===Magazine Interview Case (Manga: [[Volume 50#Magazine Interview Case|515-517]]; Anime: [[Information Gathered About the Detective Boys|435-436]])===

Sumiko agrees to give the Detective Boys a ride to a writer's home, since he wanted to do a report on them for their involvement in complicated cases. However, the gang didn't expect a dead writer. When [[Inspector Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi]] arrive at the scene, both believe that Sumiko is Sato because, without her glasses on, she bears a scary resemblance to the officer. Soon Conan tries to prove the Detective Boy's skills in catching the criminal, however, he also had to conceal his vast intelligence, so his secret wouldn't be questioned by Sumiko. Conan and his friends manage to drop hints on who the real culprit is which leads to his arrest.

After the case, Sumiko dubbed herself the "manager" of the group, wanting to solve and capture "bad guys" along with them.

===Kobayashi-sensei's Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 53#Kobayashi-sensei's Mystery|548-549]]; Anime: [[Class 1-B's Great Operation!|460]])===

Sumiko, along with Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Haibara, and Genta, listen to Conan's story of how Shinichi (himself) and Ran as children had their first "coded mystery".

During another one of the kids' cases, Sumiko is called to pick up the children by Megure. However, Shiratori (who had learned about Sumiko's existence few minutes before and was wondering if she was "the girl" from his past, since the other non-Sato candidate turned out to be the culprit of the case) offered that she should take them home in his car, while holding her hand in a romantic style.

===Haunted Warehouse Case (Manga: [[Volume 66#Haunted Warehouse Case|690-691]]; Anime: [[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|571-572]])===

Over the next few days, he has made constant visits to where she works, warning her of any and all danger in the vicinity, which sparks Sumiko developing a crush on him, unaware of their actual history.

===Purse Snatcher Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 67#Purse Snatcher Murder Case|705-708]]; Anime: [[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|583-585]])===

Later, Shiratori again warns Sumiko of a vicious, serial purse thief, who might be a woman, who's still at large. During the conversation, the latter asks why Shiratori kept calling her, and he simply replied, "Because I worry about you". The Detective Boys soon arrive and ask her if they want to come to a festival with her and she agrees. Soon, she loses sight of the children and as she's trying to find her way around, she becomes a witness of a murder. She was able to see the culprit's silhouette and hear their voice.

The next day, Sumiko goes to the police station, with the kids to testify what she saw. She meets [[Yumi Miyamoto]] and [[Kazunobu Chiba]], who confuse her with Sato until Shiratori clears up the misunderstanding and escorts Sumiko to a conference so they can discuss the case in more detail. While on her way back from the restroom, she sees Sato from afar and is initially ''very'' happy and giddy at the thought of a woman who looks like her... but then she learns of Shiratori's former interest in Sato. This leads her to suspect that Shiratori only liked her because of her physical traits to the female officer, and depresses her greatly.

From then on Sumiko begins to treat Shiratori harshly and, after seeing that the three main suspects weren't the criminal, she coldly tells Shiratori not to bother her anymore and leaves. The next day at school school, he tells her the real reason why he liked her, but she dismisses it, as she believes Sato was "the girl of destiny" and cannot remember their supposed "meeting". However, while working late at night, she was almost killed by the criminal in order to silence her, but is saved by Shiratori, the Detective Boys and Sato.

Sumiko then finally remembers Shiratori, after he calls out the culprit in almost exactly the way he called out the shoplifters to help her. Shiratori then confesses he was always in love with her and Sumiko blushes and replies, "Yes.". Later, she makes a special bento for Shiratori, signifying that the two are now a couple.

===White Day Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 69#White Day Murder Case|725]]; Anime: [[White Day of Betrayal|608]])===

== Relationships analysis ==

=== Family & Friends ===
==== Ninzaburo Shiratori ====
{{main|Ninzaburo Shiratori and Sumiko Kobayashi}}
As a child, Sumiko instantly became Shiratori's true love, and was the very reason why he entered the police force. They had confronted a bunch of shoplifters together as children; Shiratori had prevented her from getting hurt and also stopped the theft, and as thanks she gave him a cup of cola with a band made of straw wrappers, shaped like the ''sakura'' blossoms that look like the symbol of the Japanese Police.

For quite a while Shiratori believed that [[Miwako Sato]] was the girl he had loved since childhood and changed his life forever (due to her resemblance with the "girl of destiny"), hence he was interested in her. At the beginning of a case that revealed parts of Shiratori's past, he realized Sato wasn't his true love, and even if she was, she had chosen [[Wataru Takagi]] over him. Even worse, at the end of the said case, Shiratori was left depressed and exhausted, since another woman who could have been his long-lost love actually turned out to be the culprit. However, Ayumi cheered him up by saying the exact same lines that the girl from his past said and by making the same design on the wristband she gave him. Shiratori desperately asked who taught her that, and Ayumi told him it was her school teacher, Sumiko. Then, at that exact moment, Sumiko came to pick up the Detective Boys upon [[Juzo Megure]]'s request.

When Shiratori laid his eyes on Sumiko, he instantly recognized her as his true "woman of destiny", and their relationship began to spark. He would always warn her of any dangers nearby where she worked or lived, which caused Sumiko to develop romantic feelings. In fact, his concern over her, constant visits, and kindness towards her, often caused her to blush deeply.

When Sumiko became a witness in a murder investigation, she learned of her resemblance to Detective Sato. And after hearing about Shiratori's former crush on her from other policemen, she thought that the only reason he was so interested in her was because of her striking resemblance to Sato. This left her not only shocked, but also hurt, thinking Shiratori didn't have feelings for her. This wasn't helped by Shiratori not having told her about their shared past, as he was waiting for the right moment to do so.

Not knowing the real reason why Shiratori liked her, Sumiko began to act coldly and harshly towards him. Even when he confessed his true feelings to her and told her about their meeting, she brushed it off, thinking Shiratori confused her with Detective Sato. However, it was all cleared up by the end of the case, when he not only saved her from the culprit, but also coolly recited a law the same way he did as a child in that book store, which finally reminded her of their first meeting. Shiratori romantically confessed to her, which made her blush. She replied with a quick and simple "Yes".

Afterwards, the two began dating, and Sumiko started giving Shiratori bentos every morning for his "energy demanding" work. On White Day, Shiratori was seen with many presents inside his car for her. Later on, she was shown with all the delicious sweets Shiratori had brought for her, at her house, happily not knowing where to begin.

'''{{nihongo|Sumiko Kobayashi|小林澄子|Kobayashi Sumiko}}''', also known as '''Liz Faulkner''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the homeroom teacher of [[Conan Edogawa]] and the girlfriend of [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]]. She is also the self-appointed (and somewhat unwelcome) "manager" of the [[Detective Boys]].

== Background ==
Sumiko Kobayashi attended Teitan Elementary and was in the 18th graduating class, two classes above [[Kazunobu Chiba]]. She became the new class teacher of [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]] after their previous teacher had married and retired. Her harsh behavior towards her charges had earned her the nickname "oni-baba" (hag) amongst her students.

One night, the Detective Boys came into the school to investigate strange occurrences involving busts from art class and an anatomy model from the sick room, which had been mysteriously moved around, and the unexplained absence of the vice principal. The busts and the model had actually been used by Sumiko for a rehearsal for the next parent-teacher conference. Sumiko is in fact very fond of children, but her kindness had caused her to have very little control over her class at her previous school, resulting in a disastrous parent-teacher conference. To fix this, she had forced herself to be strict and harsh when she transferred to Teitan Elementary, but after the Detective Boys discovered her nicer side, she decided to be herself again and has become very popular with her students ever since.<ref>Manga Chapter 155: Is Someone There?</ref>

On one occasion, she accompanied Conan and the Detective Boys to an interview which became a murder investigation as they found the reporter slain. After witnessing Conan in action, she announced her desire to join the Detective Boys and become their manager - a decision which was immediately vetoed<ref>Manga Chapter 517: The Detective Boys</ref> and is commonly neglected in the field.<ref>Manga Chapter 691: Conan vs. The Detective Boys</ref>

As it turned out later, when Sumiko was still a small child, she had confronted two no-good juveniles attempting to steal mangas from a bookshop. When the culprits contemptuously shoved her aside, a young boy intervened on her behalf, cooly citing a paragraph from Japanese law concerning theft. As a sign of gratitude, Sumiko bought her rescuer a drink ornamented with a circle of sakura flowers made from the straw wrapper, as a symbol of goodness and justice (referring to the sakura shaped Japanese police badges). It would not be until many years later that she would encounter him again as a member of the police force, under the name of [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].<ref>Manga Chapters 687-689: Sakura Girl Case</ref>

Shiratori recognized Sumiko on first sight, and it turned out he had held deep feelings for her all these years. However, he wanted to win properly Sumiko's affection first and then tell her about what he viewed as the hand of fate, so he kept silent about their first encounter and banned the Detective Kids from helping him in any way. This scheme backfired when she found out that she had a dead lookalike in the police department whom Shiratori had once pursued romantically (unbeknownst to her, that was because Shiratori mistook her for Sumiko)...

Thinking that Shiratori considered her a mere replacement for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]], Sumiko was understandably hurt and started distancing herself from him, even after Shiratori personally explained their common past to her - a move which came at a bad time, because she had become an unwitting (and the sole) witness to a murder and the murderer would therefore try everything to silence her. And for worse, Sumiko's own memories of their encounter were much more vague than Shiratori's own. so she thought Sato was his "girl of destiny".<ref>Manga Chapters 707: The Sakura Girl is...?</ref> When the culprit was apprehended and Shiratori subdued him with words, Sumiko did indeed remember Shiratori as her childhood savior/friend, and the relationship was reaffirmed.<ref>Manga Chapters 708: The Sakura in Full Bloom</ref>

== Personality ==
Sumiko is very kind and fond of children, considering them the most wonderful thing in the world. Sumiko is also quite timid and sensitive, not to mention that she suffers from serious stagefright. Even though she has appointed herself the manager of the Detective Boys, the kids often leave her out of case or ignore her warnings. She was also quite hurt when she believed [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Inspector Shiratori]] was only interested in her because of her resemblance to [[Miwako Sato]] - a resemblance so striking it even fooled Sato's close associates [[Kazunobu Chiba|Chiba]] and [[Yumi Miyamoto|Yumi]].<ref>Manga Chapter 706: Kobayashi-sensei's Misunderstanding</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 707: The Sakura Girl is...</ref>

In contrast of Sumiko's physical resemblance to Sato, however, the two women have almost entirely different personality traits: While Sato is reckless, outspoken, daring, and impulsive, Sumiko is more gentle, softspoken, cautious, and careful in any given situation.

Sumiko loves mystery novels, particularly the works of [[Edogawa Rampo]]. Because of this, [[Ai Haibara]] suggests that she and Shiratori would work well together because Sumiko would enjoy hearing about cases from him.<ref>Manga Chapter 690: The Haunted Warehouse</ref>

== Plot overview ==

===School Mystery Case (Manga: [[Volume 16#School Mystery Case|154-155]]; Anime: [[The Seven Mysteries of Teitan Elementary School Case|112]])===

In her first appearance, Sumiko was known by the students of Class 1-B, including Conan and the Detective Boys, as a strict, mean teacher, who was always disciplining her class, never showing any kindness. Her initial personality led to her students nicknaming her "Old Demon Hag". Then, one night, the [[Detective Boys]] decided to figure out why many dolls were missing one after another. Conan deduces the one behind the "kidnappings" was Sumiko herself, which relieved the children. Sumiko finally revealed the reason behind her "dictator-like" teaching was that, in the past, two of her students fought at a parent-teacher conference, because of her lack in discipline. She would come at Teitan Elementary at night to practice for the next parent-teacher conference, so there would be no more fights. However, with some suggestions from the Detective Boys, she changed her teaching style and became more well liked.

Sumiko agrees to give the Detective Boys a ride to a writer's home, since he wanted to do a report on them for their involvement in complicated cases. However, the gang didn't expect a dead writer. When [[Inspector Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi]] arrive at the scene, both believe that Sumiko is Sato because, without her glasses on, she bears a scary resemblance to the officer. Soon Conan tries to prove the Detective Boy's skills in catching the criminal, however, he also had to conceal his vast intelligence, so his secret wouldn't be questioned by Sumiko. Conan and his friends manage to drop hints on who the real culprit is which leads to his arrest.

After the case, Sumiko dubbed herself the "manager" of the group, wanting to solve and capture "bad guys" along with them.

During another one of the kids' cases, Sumiko is called to pick up the children by Megure. However, Shiratori (who had learned about Sumiko's existence few minutes before and was wondering if she was "the girl" from his past, since the other non-Sato candidate turned out to be the culprit of the case) offered that she should take them home in his car, while holding her hand in a romantic style.

===Haunted Warehouse Case (Manga: [[Volume 66#Haunted Warehouse Case|690-691]]; Anime: [[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|571-572]])===

Over the next few days, he has made constant visits to where she works, warning her of any and all danger in the vicinity, which sparks Sumiko developing a crush on him, unaware of their actual history.

===Purse Snatcher Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 67#Purse Snatcher Murder Case|705-708]]; Anime: [[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|583-585]])===

Later, Shiratori again warns Sumiko of a vicious, serial purse thief, who might be a woman, who's still at large. During the conversation, the latter asks why Shiratori kept calling her, and he simply replied, "Because I worry about you". The Detective Boys soon arrive and ask her if they want to come to a festival with her and she agrees. Soon, she loses sight of the children and as she's trying to find her way around, she becomes a witness of a murder. She was able to see the culprit's silhouette and hear their voice.

The next day, Sumiko goes to the police station, with the kids to testify what she saw. She meets [[Yumi Miyamoto]] and [[Kazunobu Chiba]], who confuse her with Sato until Shiratori clears up the misunderstanding and escorts Sumiko to a conference so they can discuss the case in more detail. While on her way back from the restroom, she sees Sato from afar and is initially ''very'' happy and giddy at the thought of a woman who looks like her... but then she learns of Shiratori's former interest in Sato. This leads her to suspect that Shiratori only liked her because of her physical traits to the female officer, and depresses her greatly.

From then on Sumiko begins to treat Shiratori harshly and, after seeing that the three main suspects weren't the criminal, she coldly tells Shiratori not to bother her anymore and leaves. The next day at school school, he tells her the real reason why he liked her, but she dismisses it, as she believes Sato was "the girl of destiny" and cannot remember their supposed "meeting". However, while working late at night, she was almost killed by the criminal in order to silence her, but is saved by Shiratori, the Detective Boys and Sato.

Sumiko then finally remembers Shiratori, after he calls out the culprit in almost exactly the way he called out the shoplifters to help her. Shiratori then confesses he was always in love with her and Sumiko blushes and replies, "Yes.". Later, she makes a special bento for Shiratori, signifying that the two are now a couple.

=== Family & Friends ===
==== Ninzaburo Shiratori ====
{{main|Ninzaburo Shiratori and Sumiko Kobayashi}}
As a child, Sumiko instantly became Shiratori's true love, and was the very reason why he entered the police force. They had confronted a bunch of shoplifters together as children; Shiratori had prevented her from getting hurt and also stopped the theft, and as thanks she gave him a cup of cola with a band made of straw wrappers, shaped like the ''sakura'' blossoms that look like the symbol of the Japanese Police.

For quite a while Shiratori believed that [[Miwako Sato]] was the girl he had loved since childhood and changed his life forever (due to her resemblance with the "girl of destiny"), hence he was interested in her. At the beginning of a case that revealed parts of Shiratori's past, he realized Sato wasn't his true love, and even if she was, she had chosen [[Wataru Takagi]] over him. Even worse, at the end of the said case, Shiratori was left depressed and exhausted, since another woman who could have been his long-lost love actually turned out to be the culprit. However, Ayumi cheered him up by saying the exact same lines that the girl from his past said and by making the same design on the wristband she gave him. Shiratori desperately asked who taught her that, and Ayumi told him it was her school teacher, Sumiko. Then, at that exact moment, Sumiko came to pick up the Detective Boys upon [[Juzo Megure]]'s request.

When Shiratori laid his eyes on Sumiko, he instantly recognized her as his true "woman of destiny", and their relationship began to spark. He would always warn her of any dangers nearby where she worked or lived, which caused Sumiko to develop romantic feelings. In fact, his concern over her, constant visits, and kindness towards her, often caused her to blush deeply.

When Sumiko became a witness in a murder investigation, she learned of her resemblance to Detective Sato. And after hearing about Shiratori's former crush on her from other policemen, she thought that the only reason he was so interested in her was because of her striking resemblance to Sato. This left her not only shocked, but also hurt, thinking Shiratori didn't have feelings for her. This wasn't helped by Shiratori not having told her about their shared past, as he was waiting for the right moment to do so.

Not knowing the real reason why Shiratori liked her, Sumiko began to act coldly and harshly towards him. Even when he confessed his true feelings to her and told her about their meeting, she brushed it off, thinking Shiratori confused her with Detective Sato. However, it was all cleared up by the end of the case, when he not only saved her from the culprit, but also coolly recited a law the same way he did as a child in that book store, which finally reminded her of their first meeting. Shiratori romantically confessed to her, which made her blush. She replied with a quick and simple "Yes".

Afterwards, the two began dating, and Sumiko started giving Shiratori bentos every morning for his "energy demanding" work. On White Day, Shiratori was seen with many presents inside his car for her. Later on, she was shown with all the delicious sweets Shiratori had brought for her, at her house, happily not knowing where to begin.

Conan and his friends manage to drop hints on who the real culprit is which leads to his arrest.

After the case, Sumiko dubbed herself the "manager" of the group, wanting to solve and capture "bad guys" along with them.

===Kobayashi-sensei's Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 53#Kobayashi-sensei's Mystery|548-549]]; Anime: [[Class 1-B's Great Operation!|460]])===

She devised a riddle for the students to deduce without the aid of Conan, so some new students would feel more welcome.

===Shinichi's Childhood Adventure (Manga: [[Volume 55#Shinichi's Childhood Adventure|570-573]]; Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure|472-473]])===

Sumiko, along with Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Haibara, and Genta, listen to Conan's story of how Shinichi (himself) and Ran as children had their first "coded mystery".

===Paper Airplane Case (Manga: [[Volume 61#Paper Airplane Case|638-640]]; Anime: [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|510-511]])===

===Sakura Girl Case (Manga: [[Volume 66#Sakura Girl Case|687-689]]; Anime: [[Inspector Shiratori, Memories of the Cherry Blossom|568-569]])===

During another one of the kids' cases, Sumiko is called to pick up the children by Megure. However, Shiratori (who had learned about Sumiko's existence few minutes before and was wondering if she was "the girl" from his past, since the other non-Sato candidate turned out to be the culprit of the case) offered that she should take them home in his car, while holding her hand in a romantic style.

===Haunted Warehouse Case (Manga: [[Volume 66#Haunted Warehouse Case|690-691]]; Anime: [[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|571-572]])===

Over the next few days, he has made constant visits to where she works, warning her of any and all danger in the vicinity, which sparks Sumiko developing a crush on him, unaware of their actual history.

===Purse Snatcher Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 67#Purse Snatcher Murder Case|705-708]]; Anime: [[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|583-585]])===

Later, Shiratori again warns Sumiko of a vicious, serial purse thief, who might be a woman, who's still at large. During the conversation, the latter asks why Shiratori kept calling her, and he simply replied, "Because I worry about you". The Detective Boys soon arrive and ask her if they want to come to a festival with her and she agrees. Soon, she loses sight of the children and as she's trying to find her way around, she becomes a witness of a murder. She was able to see the culprit's silhouette and hear their voice.

The next day, Sumiko goes to the police station, with the kids to testify what she saw. She meets [[Yumi Miyamoto]] and [[Kazunobu Chiba]], who confuse her with Sato until Shiratori clears up the misunderstanding and escorts Sumiko to a conference so they can discuss the case in more detail. While on her way back from the restroom, she sees Sato from afar and is initially ''very'' happy and giddy at the thought of a woman who looks like her... but then she learns of Shiratori's former interest in Sato. This leads her to suspect that Shiratori only liked her because of her physical traits to the female officer, and depresses her greatly.

From then on Sumiko begins to treat Shiratori harshly and, after seeing that the three main suspects weren't the criminal, she coldly tells Shiratori not to bother her anymore and leaves. The next day at school school, he tells her the real reason why he liked her, but she dismisses it, as she believes Sato was "the girl of destiny" and cannot remember their supposed "meeting". However, while working late at night, she was almost killed by the criminal in order to silence her, but is saved by Shiratori, the Detective Boys and Sato.

Sumiko then finally remembers Shiratori, after he calls out the culprit in almost exactly the way he called out the shoplifters to help her. Shiratori then confesses he was always in love with her and Sumiko blushes and replies, "Yes.". Later, she makes a special bento for Shiratori, signifying that the two are now a couple.

== Relationships analysis ==

=== Family & Friends ===
==== Ninzaburo Shiratori ====
{{main|Ninzaburo Shiratori and Sumiko Kobayashi}}
As a child, Sumiko instantly became Shiratori's true love, and was the very reason why he entered the police force. They had confronted a bunch of shoplifters together as children; Shiratori had prevented her from getting hurt and also stopped the theft, and as thanks she gave him a cup of cola with a band made of straw wrappers, shaped like the ''sakura'' blossoms that look like the symbol of the Japanese Police.

For quite a while Shiratori believed that [[Miwako Sato]] was the girl he had loved since childhood and changed his life forever (due to her resemblance with the "girl of destiny"), hence he was interested in her. At the beginning of a case that revealed parts of Shiratori's past, he realized Sato wasn't his true love, and even if she was, she had chosen [[Wataru Takagi]] over him. Even worse, at the end of the said case, Shiratori was left depressed and exhausted, since another woman who could have been his long-lost love actually turned out to be the culprit. However, Ayumi cheered him up by saying the exact same lines that the girl from his past said and by making the same design on the wristband she gave him. Shiratori desperately asked who taught her that, and Ayumi told him it was her school teacher, Sumiko. Then, at that exact moment, Sumiko came to pick up the Detective Boys upon [[Juzo Megure]]'s request.

When Shiratori laid his eyes on Sumiko, he instantly recognized her as his true "woman of destiny", and their relationship began to spark. He would always warn her of any dangers nearby where she worked or lived, which caused Sumiko to develop romantic feelings. In fact, his concern over her, constant visits, and kindness towards her, often caused her to blush deeply.

When Sumiko became a witness in a murder investigation, she learned of her resemblance to Detective Sato. And after hearing about Shiratori's former crush on her from other policemen, she thought that the only reason he was so interested in her was because of her striking resemblance to Sato. This left her not only shocked, but also hurt, thinking Shiratori didn't have feelings for her. This wasn't helped by Shiratori not having told her about their shared past, as he was waiting for the right moment to do so.

Not knowing the real reason why Shiratori liked her, Sumiko began to act coldly and harshly towards him. Even when he confessed his true feelings to her and told her about their meeting, she brushed it off, thinking Shiratori confused her with Detective Sato. However, it was all cleared up by the end of the case, when he not only saved her from the culprit, but also coolly recited a law the same way he did as a child in that book store, which finally reminded her of their first meeting. Shiratori romantically confessed to her, which made her blush. She replied with a quick and simple "Yes".

Afterwards, the two began dating, and Sumiko started giving Shiratori bentos every morning for his "energy demanding" work. On White Day, Shiratori was seen with many presents inside his car for her. Later on, she was shown with all the delicious sweets Shiratori had brought for her, at her house, happily not knowing where to begin.

==== Detective Boys ====

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

== Background ==
Vermouth's background is very mysterious because she has been secretly living at least two lives through the art of disguise: that of actress Sharon Vineyard (now "deceased") and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard.

As the actress Sharon Vineyard, Vermouth gained much fame on Broadway and in movies, even winning an Oscar. Even then, she was a member of the Black Organization. Twenty years ago, she murdered [[Jodie Starling]]'s [[FBI]] father who had collected information on her. Jodie Starling would eventually grow up to be an FBI agent and one of Vermouth's most bitter enemies. As Sharon, Vermouth became close friends with [[Yukiko Kudo]] back when they were studying disguise under [[Toichi Kuroba]].

At some point Sharon began to pretend to have a daughter named Chris, who she did not got along with after she played a rude prank. That fact might have serve as a pretext to why the two 'identities' wouldn't be seen together in public. While Sharon was still alive, Chris kept out of the public eye except for acting in movies and giving interviews. Less than one year ago, Vermouth staged Sharon Vineyard's death, which allowed Chris to come out publicly. Currently, Vermouth serves the Black Organization with the public name Chris Vineyard.

Vermouth is the [[The Boss|boss]]' favorite which grants her some independence. Vermouth also has some particular connection to the boss that she does not want known by the greater organization, which [[Bourbon]] is blackmailing her with.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 898: "Scarlet Epilogue"</ref> She also appears not to age or have de-aged over a period of twenty years between when she killed Jodie's parents and her current appearance. She doesn’t seem to like [[APTX 4869|the research]] that [[Shiho Miyano]] and [[Atsushi Miyano|her]] [[Elena Miyano|parents]] engaged in, calling it “foolish". <ref>[[Volume 42#File 434 - Rotten Apple|Volume 42, File 434: "Rotten Apple"]]</ref>

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

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

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

[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|left|Vermouth teases Gin and Vodka by disguising as a waiter.]]
Vermouth's personality is contradictory at times. On one hand, she is a cruel and ruthless agent who will blackmail an unwilling man to commit murder by threatening him and his family just to provide a distraction and happily tell [[Jodie Starling|an FBI agent]] she should smile because she will see her dead father again in heaven. On the other hand, she risks her life several times to protect Conan (Cool Guy), [[Ran]] (Angel), and [[Kogoro]], and her friendly behavior while in disguise as Tomoaki Araide left the real Araide wondering if Vermouth is really a bad person. This inconsistency may reflect an underlying conflict of conscience after [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and Ran (Angel) saved her life during the events of the [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354_Anime:_286-288.29|Golden Apple case]]. Vermouth also appears to be an atheist at first as she claims to not believe in god nor angels until Ran unknowingly rescued her which seems to have given her back some faith.

At this point, Vermouth's motives are very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. She dislikes the Miyano family's research. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (Cool Guy) (as the son of [[Yukiko Kudo|her best friend]]) and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].(Angel)<ref name="e288">[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, Part 3]].</ref> As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.

While she does kill people, something suggests that she is not much into killing children. When Jodie, as a child, caught Vermouth, Vermouth didn't kill her directly but instead asked her to stay in the house, which she later set on fire. It could mean that she doesn't like to kill children directly. And when she questions a young witness, [[Toji Funemoto]], about Kir's accident, she lets him live.

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

==Abilities==
===Disguise===
[[File:Vermouth_taking_off_Araide's_mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes a latex mask.]]
Vermouth is able to mimic anyone's appearance and voice exactly with her disguise and acting skills even after observing them for only a short period of time. Vermouth frequently utilizes latex masks. Her disguising ability has been noted by Conan to be on par with the current Kaito Kid (Kaito Kuroba).<ref>[[Volume 44|Volume 44, File 457, Page 7]]</ref> Although she may have known how to disguise prior to meeting [[Toichi Kuroba]], she studied disguise under him. Her disguise ability was first shown in [[The Mysterious Passenger]]<ref>[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287: "The Unseen Horror"]], [[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 230: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref> where she dressed as a male waiter to tease [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]]. [[Jodie Starling]] once referred to Vermouth's disguise abilities as a frightening type of perfection.<ref>[[Episode 362]]</ref>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

=== The Shadow Sneaking Up on Amuro ===
At the end of episode 813, [[The Shadow Approaching Amuro]], Bourbon receives a phone call from Vermouth who warns him not to take his current "secret investigation" too deeply, lest it arouses Gin's undue attention.

=== The Darkest Nightmare ===

==Plot Exposition==
===Family History===
[[File:Vermouth_as_Sharon_Vineyard_EP345.jpg|thumb|right|Chris and Sharon Vineyard]]
In order to camouflage the fact that Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person, Vermouth concocted personal histories for her real life cover roles in order to make them seem like different people. When Sharon and Chris Vineyard were revealed to be one and the same, at least part of the stated Vineyard family history was revealed to be a lie. The fall-out between mother and daughter probably serves as an excuse to why the two of them never are seen together. It is unknown how much of the remainder is truthful, based on the truth, or outright fabrication because the primary source of the information is Vermouth herself who may have more to hide.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

====Conan's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person====
[[File:Vermouth protecting Conan.png|thumb|right|Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide protects Conan on the hijacked bus. This action puzzled Conan until he realized he had unknowingly saved Vermouth in New York city one year before.]]
At the same time Shinichi and Ran were in New York City, Vermouth disguised as a silver-haired serial killer in order to lure out [[Shuichi Akai]]. Later, Conan suspected the serial killer may have been someone in disguise when he heard that the serial killer’s blood and fingerprints on the stair rails were cleaned up, an action uncharacteristic for someone intending to commit suicide.<ref name=354p3>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (354), pg 3: "Golden Apple 5". Note that Conan had not figured out everything completely at this point.</ref><ref>Manga [[Volume 37]], File 8 (380), pg 6: "White Snow... Black Shadow...". Conan is now convinced that the serial killer was killed. He had begun suspecting Shuichi Akai previously, and he still does at this point after Ran informs him Shuichi is an FBI agent, because Shuichi could be a spy in the FBI from the Black Organization.</ref> Sharon was the only person Conan knew about in the local area with high disguise abilities, so suspicion naturally fell onto her.

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

Conan who didn't exist a year ago has no reason to be “protected” by Vermouth. Conan deduces Vermouth must know his identity as Shinichi and the reason for her “protection” must have to do with something he did as Shinichi. However, Sharon was the only one Shinichi had a connection with, and she is apparently dead. Sharon’s daughter Chris has never met Shinichi and is estranged from Sharon Vineyard so she alone doesn't have an adequate motive to protect Shinichi. Also, it wouldn’t make sense for Chris Vineyard, who isn’t a family friend like Sharon, to be able to recognize Shinichi as Conan; presumably Vermouth saw young Shinichi with Yukiko when she was Sharon.<ref>Manga [[Volume 42]], File 10, pg 5</ref>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==== The Boss ====
In file 898, Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the [[The Boss|boss]], implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his/her favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.

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

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

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

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

==== Vodka====
Throughout the series, Vermouth has not been shown as having any negative emotions regarding [[Vodka]], unlike other members of the Organization (like [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]). Vodka and Vermouth have been seen along on missions sometimes, but in general they don't pay much attention to each other.
She does tease Vodka about his lack of literary knowledge when he fails to understand how Haido Park could be a place most suited for hunting.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Background ==
Vermouth's background is very mysterious because she has been secretly living at least two lives through the art of disguise: that of actress Sharon Vineyard (now "deceased") and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard.

As the actress Sharon Vineyard, Vermouth gained much fame on Broadway and in movies, even winning an Oscar. Even then, she was a member of the Black Organization. Twenty years ago, she murdered [[Jodie Starling]]'s [[FBI]] father who had collected information on her. Jodie Starling would eventually grow up to be an FBI agent and one of Vermouth's most bitter enemies. As Sharon, Vermouth became close friends with [[Yukiko Kudo]] back when they were studying disguise under [[Toichi Kuroba]].

At some point Sharon began to pretend to have a daughter named Chris, who she did not got along with after she played a rude prank. That fact might have serve as a pretext to why the two 'identities' wouldn't be seen together in public. While Sharon was still alive, Chris kept out of the public eye except for acting in movies and giving interviews. Less than one year ago, Vermouth staged Sharon Vineyard's death, which allowed Chris to come out publicly. Currently, Vermouth serves the Black Organization with the public name Chris Vineyard.

Vermouth is the [[The Boss|boss]]' favorite which grants her some independence. Vermouth also has some particular connection to the boss that she does not want known by the greater organization, which [[Bourbon]] is blackmailing her with.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 898: "Scarlet Epilogue"</ref> She also appears not to age or have de-aged over a period of twenty years between when she killed Jodie's parents and her current appearance. She doesn’t seem to like [[APTX 4869|the research]] that [[Shiho Miyano]] and [[Atsushi Miyano|her]] [[Elena Miyano|parents]] engaged in, calling it “foolish". <ref>[[Volume 42#File 434 - Rotten Apple|Volume 42, File 434: "Rotten Apple"]]</ref>

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

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

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

[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|left|Vermouth teases Gin and Vodka by disguising as a waiter.]]
Vermouth's personality is contradictory at times. On one hand, she is a cruel and ruthless agent who will blackmail an unwilling man to commit murder by threatening him and his family just to provide a distraction and happily tell [[Jodie Starling|an FBI agent]] she should smile because she will see her dead father again in heaven. On the other hand, she risks her life several times to protect Conan (Cool Guy), [[Ran]] (Angel), and [[Kogoro]], and her friendly behavior while in disguise as Tomoaki Araide left the real Araide wondering if Vermouth is really a bad person. This inconsistency may reflect an underlying conflict of conscience after [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and Ran (Angel) saved her life during the events of the [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354_Anime:_286-288.29|Golden Apple case]]. Vermouth also appears to be an atheist at first as she claims to not believe in god nor angels until Ran unknowingly rescued her which seems to have given her back some faith.

At this point, Vermouth's motives are very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. She dislikes the Miyano family's research. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (Cool Guy) (as the son of [[Yukiko Kudo|her best friend]]) and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].(Angel)<ref name="e288">[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, Part 3]].</ref> As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.

While she does kill people, something suggests that she is not much into killing children. When Jodie, as a child, caught Vermouth, Vermouth didn't kill her directly but instead asked her to stay in the house, which she later set on fire. It could mean that she doesn't like to kill children directly. And when she questions a young witness, [[Toji Funemoto]], about Kir's accident, she lets him live.

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

==Abilities==
===Disguise===
[[File:Vermouth_taking_off_Araide's_mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes a latex mask.]]
Vermouth is able to mimic anyone's appearance and voice exactly with her disguise and acting skills even after observing them for only a short period of time. Vermouth frequently utilizes latex masks. Her disguising ability has been noted by Conan to be on par with the current Kaito Kid (Kaito Kuroba).<ref>[[Volume 44|Volume 44, File 457, Page 7]]</ref> Although she may have known how to disguise prior to meeting [[Toichi Kuroba]], she studied disguise under him. Her disguise ability was first shown in [[The Mysterious Passenger]]<ref>[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287: "The Unseen Horror"]], [[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 230: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref> where she dressed as a male waiter to tease [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]]. [[Jodie Starling]] once referred to Vermouth's disguise abilities as a frightening type of perfection.<ref>[[Episode 362]]</ref>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

=== The Shadow Sneaking Up on Amuro ===
At the end of episode 813, [[The Shadow Approaching Amuro]], Bourbon receives a phone call from Vermouth who warns him not to take his current "secret investigation" too deeply, lest it arouses Gin's undue attention.

In order to camouflage the fact that Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person, Vermouth concocted personal histories for her real life cover roles in order to make them seem like different people. When Sharon and Chris Vineyard were revealed to be one and the same, at least part of the stated Vineyard family history was revealed to be a lie. The fall-out between mother and daughter probably serves as an excuse to why the two of them never are seen together. It is unknown how much of the remainder is truthful, based on the truth, or outright fabrication because the primary source of the information is Vermouth herself who may have more to hide.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

====Conan's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person====
[[File:Vermouth protecting Conan.png|thumb|right|Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide protects Conan on the hijacked bus. This action puzzled Conan until he realized he had unknowingly saved Vermouth in New York city one year before.]]
At the same time Shinichi and Ran were in New York City, Vermouth disguised as a silver-haired serial killer in order to lure out [[Shuichi Akai]]. Later, Conan suspected the serial killer may have been someone in disguise when he heard that the serial killer’s blood and fingerprints on the stair rails were cleaned up, an action uncharacteristic for someone intending to commit suicide.<ref name=354p3>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (354), pg 3: "Golden Apple 5". Note that Conan had not figured out everything completely at this point.</ref><ref>Manga [[Volume 37]], File 8 (380), pg 6: "White Snow... Black Shadow...". Conan is now convinced that the serial killer was killed. He had begun suspecting Shuichi Akai previously, and he still does at this point after Ran informs him Shuichi is an FBI agent, because Shuichi could be a spy in the FBI from the Black Organization.</ref> Sharon was the only person Conan knew about in the local area with high disguise abilities, so suspicion naturally fell onto her.

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

Conan who didn't exist a year ago has no reason to be “protected” by Vermouth. Conan deduces Vermouth must know his identity as Shinichi and the reason for her “protection” must have to do with something he did as Shinichi. However, Sharon was the only one Shinichi had a connection with, and she is apparently dead. Sharon’s daughter Chris has never met Shinichi and is estranged from Sharon Vineyard so she alone doesn't have an adequate motive to protect Shinichi. Also, it wouldn’t make sense for Chris Vineyard, who isn’t a family friend like Sharon, to be able to recognize Shinichi as Conan; presumably Vermouth saw young Shinichi with Yukiko when she was Sharon.<ref>Manga [[Volume 42]], File 10, pg 5</ref>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==== The Boss ====
In file 898, Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the [[The Boss|boss]], implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his/her favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.

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

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

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

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

==== Vodka====
Throughout the series, Vermouth has not been shown as having any negative emotions regarding [[Vodka]], unlike other members of the Organization (like [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]). Vodka and Vermouth have been seen along on missions sometimes, but in general they don't pay much attention to each other.
She does tease Vodka about his lack of literary knowledge when he fails to understand how Haido Park could be a place most suited for hunting.

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

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

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

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

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

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

=== Situation ===

==== Part 1 ====

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

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Suicide?
| image = EP 608-609 case.jpg
| location = Haido City Hotel
| victim = Taruto Urai
| age = 53 Years old
| cause-death = Cyanide poisoning
| suspects = Hoshie Urai
| description = Taruto Urai collapsed on the floor during the White day party.
}}

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

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

=== People ===

{{EndBox}}

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

{{InfoBox Crime
| image = EP608-609_Case2.jpg
| crime = Suicide
| victim = Hoshie's boyfriend
| location = Boyfriend's house
| cause-death = Hanging
| description = He committed suicide when Taruto says that his cooking is bad.
}}

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

On the way home, Ran is visibly saddened since she thinks she is the only one of her acquaintances not to have received a [[wikipedia:White Day|White Day]] gift. She's about to cry when they get to the Agency, but is cheered up when she discovers a bag of white throat lozenge ([[wikipedia:Throat_lozenge|medicine candy for sore throats]]) left there. Said package is from Shinichi/Conan (who pretends to be the one who found it), and a note left with it says that during their last phone talk he noticed her voice was strained so he wants to help her feel better.

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

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

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

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

On the way home, Ran is visibly saddened since she thinks she is the only one of her acquaintances not to have received a ([[wikipedia:White Day|White Day gift]]). She's about to cry when they get to the Agency, but is cheered up when she discovers a bag of white throat lozenge ([[wikipedia:Throat_lozenge|medicine candy for sore throats]]) left there. Said package is from Shinichi/Conan (who pretends to be the one who found it), and a note left with it says that during their last phone talk he noticed her voice was strained so he wants to help her feel better.
