== Case ==
=== Situation ===
In [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house, after rejecting [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]'s invitation for shopping at the [[Beika (Town)#Beika Department Store|Beika Department Store]], [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] sat on top of the sofa, and was watching a TV drama named "Flying Squir Murders", while urging Agasa to tag along. Agasa brought some pizza and they began to watch the TV drama.
[[File:EP1091-1.jpeg|thumb|left|200px|The girls' chit chats at the restaurant.]]
"We two girls should enjoy today to our hearts' content!" exclaimed [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], who was shopping with Ran at the Beika Department Store, which was as crowded as ever. After all the fun and excitement, they encountered [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] just by chance, when they were chilling on top of the roof of the shopping mall building. In addition, [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] also passed by, and the reunion of the five old acquaintances instigated an afternoon tea at the Beika Department Store restaurant. Sato explained that she came here to seize the limited edition pear sweets from Tadano Fruits Parlour. This brought up their following conversations, nevertheless, after mentioning about [[Juzo Megure|Megure]]'s funniness, Sonoko uttered that she noticed someone who acted very strangely on the third floor: a man dressed in green, with a peculiar hair style that contained yellow and black, who bumped into the two girls. He was mumbling to himself and kept looking at the ceiling, with no intent of buying clothes. Ayumi afterwards also pointed out that she also saw a man acting weird on the sixth floor: a man in a shirt with a pattern of sun. He was not looking at the paintings that were displayed in the art gallery, but instead, he chose to peer at the empty white wall. Ran later remarked that she saw another man looking queer as well on the roof: he wore a black trench coat, sunglasses, and possessed short black hair, he was also mumbling to himself while looking at the sky, trying to figure out the direction of the wind using his fingers. And after hearing all of the speeches given by the others, Sato also could not stand concealing anything, she confessed that she saw a curious man too, on the ground floor outside the department store: he was rather stout and strong, wore a pink shirt, and was pushing a stroller while mumbling to himself. The most intriguing thing was, the stroller was empty. They attempted to consider all of these as solely coincidences, but Haibara deduced that it might not be the case if too many repetitions emerged. She said that it was possible that their mumbling was in fact the communication between each other through the radio. Therefore, Sato concluded that they were most likely planning to implement a crime. Sonoko speculated that the thieves might be targeting the huge diamond in a jewelry exhibition named "Harry Murzabayev Design Diamond Collection Special Exhibition" on the sixth floor which will take place from the 1st of August onward.

[[File:EP1091-2.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|A precious mask at the exhibition caught Sato's attention.]]
The five of them decided to keep an eye on the incident at least and investigate it. Ran called [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] for help, and at the same time, Ayumi called Conan. Unfortunately, Conan was too fascinated by watching the detective drama to realize the two phone calls ringing from his phones. Sato leads the others to the "World Mask Exhibition", which was still open, and met the security guard, Kazuo Takahashi, who told them the security system for the building: during business hours, there were forty guards overlooking every floor; after business hours, the exits will be locked and only the service entrance will remain open; all visitors will be thoroughly checked when entering the exhibition; six guards will be constantly looking at the images captured by the security footage; once every three hours, they will patrol the building; the security footage will cover all areas and there will be no blind spots; the security footage will be stored on the cloud; every door had a sensor installed and will notify the guards if forcibly broken; during the diamond exhibition, they plan to double the number of guards. So the security system was impeccably flawless, then what was the point of them poking around and acting suspiciously?
[[File:EP1091-3.jpeg|thumb|left|200px|The girls' robbery outfit in their "rehearsal".]]
The only place that the building did not have guards watching was the rooftop, thus Sato requested the security guard to strengthen the security there as the suspicious man measuring wind direction on the roof was seen by Ran. After meeting with the security guard, they went to the karaoke and rented a room to "rehearse" the criminals plan. Which was basically to pretend being the robbers and trying to simulate the most realistic scenario that may be advantageous for capturing the real criminals. Sato interrupted her and proposed to gather clues first, and the others started to analyse the situation: the man looking at the ceiling was trying to check security cameras; the man watching at the walls was trying to find a way to get in without breaking the door and activating the sensors; the man measuring the wind direction also showed that they intend to sneak in from above; and the last man with the empty stroller, maybe he was checking out the traffic conditions on the ground that will make their way out of the building. There were also some notable clues pointed out by the girls: they all wore flashy clothes, they all had weird hairstyles, and they had weird stickers on their car. Haibara also surmised that since the security footage was stored on the cloud, it would be susceptible to getting hacked, which might also be part of the robbers' plan. Here goes the robbery rehearsal imagined by the five girls: the thieves attempt to enter from the skies → Hack into the security system and turn off the alarm → Incapacitate the guards → Avoid the sensors on the doors → Destroy the walls → Enter the building → Acquire the diamonds as quickly as possible → Flee using their car on the ground floor. Although their simulation seemed plausible, Haibara went into a deep contemplation, and kept staring at the large diamond on the exhibition promotion poster. She said something, which suddenly hinted Sato. "I see. So that's how it is." Sato uncovered the truth, the scales fell from her eyes. "I know what they're actually after."

"They're the culprit!" on the other hand, Conan, who was watching the detective drama with Agasa, also knew the truth of the detective drama. Agasa doubted Conan's deduction, however, Conan confirmed it with a cocksure face. But he never knew that a formidable robbery show was taking place at the Beika Department Store.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Haibara said that it would be useless to steal those big diamonds, as they were too large and famous enough to be tracked down by the police if they sold them for money. But if they attempt to re-polish or split it into smaller pieces, the value of it will drop significantly. Hence, it would not be worthy to do this kind of robbery. Moreover, their checkings would be pointless if they knew that the security group would double when the diamond exhibition came. From that, they could deduce the thieves were after what was displayed at that time, namely, the mask exhibition.

==== The end of the robber group ====
At night, unsurprisingly, the thieves sallied. As predicted, they had used hang-gliding, which helped them swing across in the sky from the roof of another building. After landing on the roof of the Beika Department Store, and they were about to begin their crime, several spotlights opened and shined directly onto the three thieves. They were the suspicious men who were mumbling around the department store during the day. Sato arrested them for burglary and claimed that their accomplice, the fourth theive, who was waiting downstairs for them near their getaway car, was also arrested at the same time.
[[File:EP1091-4.jpeg|thumb|left|200px|A photo of El Desto with Morela.]]
Sato deduced that the actual target was the '''pro-wrestling mask''', which was on display right now. That mask was precisely the one Sato stared at when they went to consult regarding the security mechanism of the building with the security guard, Kazuo Takahashi. Incidently, the mask display would end just tomorrow, and after that, the diamond exhibition would take over, on the 1st of August as mentioned, so they would definitely dispatch this night. That mask was a masterpiece made by a famous Mexican mask-maker called Morela. It was priceless because the pro-wrestling champion El Desto once wore that mask in his title match. Ayumi then took the bait and remarked the four suspicious men's hair styles looked like those of pro-wrestlers, so they must have some sort of relationship with them.
[[File:EP1091-5.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|The weird stickers on their getaway car.]]
In addition, the stickers on their getaway car also indicated something, for example, "I love Caras" referred to the Spanish word for face, and in the wrestling context, it can be seen as the masks wore by pro-wrestlers. The three thieves, looking at the crowds of police that surrounded them, kneeled and confessed their crimes. Later, it was revealed that the robbery group was actually called the '''Masked Leotards''' crime group.

==== Aftermath ====
In the end, the five girls met up once again to celebrate their success in capturing the robber group. They felt pride as they were able to solve the case without [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] or Conan/Shinichi's help. Sato also praised Haibara's insight for declining to call it a coincidence. They all agreed to gather another day and solve another case.

Conan, who was still watching the detective drama, also got really proud of himself for knowing the culprit in advance, however, Agasa told him the culprit in the TV drama was not the one he said earlier.</spoiler>

It is still unknown what style she uses, but she has shown proficiency in [[Wikipedia:Jōdō|Jōdō]] and elbow strikes.

=== Keen observation and deduction skills ===
She has also shown her reasoning and deductive abilities, giving hints to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] to solve a case. She may also be aware of Conan's peculiar use of gadgets as she has witnessed him tranquilizing [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]], and using the voice changer bow tie to perform a sleeping deduction show. Conan mentioned using his tranquilizer watch to her on her first appearance.

=== Painting ===
She is shown to be able to paint a life-sized tiger in a realistic style in one afternoon, and is able to easily fix a smudged painting.

=== Firearms ===
She is shown to be a capable sniper and counter-sniper, tricking assailants into shooting at a decoy to reveal their positions, before successfully returning fire.

Rumi approaches the Detective Boys for their help retrieving quicklime from the old warehouse in the school yard which causes them to come across a dead body.

Later she accidently destroys a picture that was going to be used for a school play and she says that she will redraw it. Conan and the detective boys accompanied her to help. After they finish, Rumi treats them to dinner. But when they hear loud sounds from the neighbor, they goes over to check it out and finds a dead body and an unconscious man. Later back in Rumi's apartment, Conan finds a receipt that may prove that she knew the case would happen before hand and invited them there on purpose. Later Rumi incapacitates the culprit under the guise of falling over. The news crews outside happen to take a picture and Ayumi gives them Rumi's name. [[Hyoue Kuroda]] is shown reading the news article on his phone. [[Kanenori Wakita]] is shown reading a newspaper, but the article is not shown to us.

=== Burning Tent Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 93#Burning Tent Murder Case|987-989]], Anime: [[Mystery of the Burning Tent|909-910]]) ===
Rumi takes the Detective Boys camping. Conan is suspicious of her and thought of strange things that he noticed in her present. When they approach a group cooking curry over a fire nearby, one of them mentions that he has an injured eye and nearly had to get a prosthetic eye. Rumi clenches up, and Conan notices her gripping something in her pocket. Later one of the other campers is burned alive inside his own tent. Kuroda emerges from an adjacent tent and asks her whether the police should be called. However Rumi is standing in stunned silence, staring forward. When she snaps back to reality, Haibara seems to notice that Rumi can't see out of her right eye. Conan starts to wonder if Rumi is clumsy on purpose or because she cannot see. When Kuroda seems to know the order that everyone introduced themselves in, despite originally claiming to have had earplugs in while sleeping. Rumi accuses him of spying on someone. Rumi has the Detective Boys build an acorn balance toy, which leads to the solution of the case. After Conan and Kuroda uncover the culprit, the culprit uses Ayumi as a hostage, Rumi manages to distract him long enough for Kuroda and Yuminaga to arrest him. Kuroda showed interest in the intimidating words that Rumi used to distract him. On the other hand, Conan becomes more suspicious of Rumi, and notices a strange object in her back pocket that has a shape similar to that of a Shogi piece.

=== Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|928]]) ===
[[File:Rumi scars atpx.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rumi with scars.]]
At the end of the case, news of Shinichi being one of the detectives that had solved the case spread to the internet. Both Kuroda and Wakita were shown seeing the information on their phones. However, Rumi was shown sitting in the dark looking at the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, with a smirk on her face. The names [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] appear to be highlighted. Additionally this is the first time we see her without a shirt on and she has scars on her upper arms as well as her back.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===

Rumi and Kobayashi take the Detective Boys out to collect edible plants. As they do so, Rumi detects the scent of blood blown by the wind and immediately thinks about Kohji's death. At the mention of good luck charms, Rumi remembers back to when Kohji said, "With the watchtower bishop, you can be sure of making a good move", while holding up a shogi bishop. Then he says, "So they're going to kill me despite that?" She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a "foolish person", while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk. When Ayumi gives a 4-leaf clover to Rumi, saying that because Rumi is clumsy she needs good fortune, Rumi waits for the Detective Boys in front of her to look away, except Conan who is standing behind her looking at her, and throws away the 4-leaf clover. Conan notices her doing this and appears angry at her for it (or cognizant why she does not feel she needs it) as Rumi's face is in shadow.

=== Trapped at Hatoyama Farm (Manga: [[Volume 99#Trapped at Hatoyama Farm|1051-1054]], Anime: [[The Spark That Fell on the Ranch|1053-1054]]) ===
Rumi and Kobayashi take the Detective Boys out to a farm to collect chicken. During the trip, she mentions Karasu being black, sly and a conspirator, making Conan suspicious of her as she might personally know [[Renya Karasuma]] as [[Rum]] candidate. They meet up with [[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]] who is also going to the farm with another purpose. She seems to have a strange glare upon hearing Amuro is a detective. Later, they receive a call from the [[Detective Boys Badge]], knowing that Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Kobayashi, and Amuro gets trapped inside the farmhouse's cellar as the farm's owner brother uses Ayumi as a hostage and calling them for the police. However, they are unable to contact police by their phone. Also, Rumi notices the shogi piece which has been kept on her back pocket is missing and finds out it has been picked up by Amuro according to Genta. After they are rescued from the cellar, Rumi uses the badge as a bait to lure Amuro back into the cellar and knocks him out in order to retrieve the shogi piece. Rumi tells Amuro that she lost her grip and let go for the trap door cutting all the light, which caused him to miss a step on the stairs.

When one of them mentions that [[Akemi Miyano]] also attended the school before, he mistakes Haibara for [[Shiho Miyano]], Akemi's younger sister who he'd seen before. As Conan and Haibara are whispering about Akemi, Rumi suspects that Haibara is Sherry in a shrunken state, and that she betrayed the [[Black Organization]] following the death of Akemi. When Conan rushes outside the classroom to look for someone suspicious after someone triggers Haibara's anxiety, Rumi witnesses Wakita leaving after he delivered sushi.

=== Beach House Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 103#Beach House Murder Case|1097-1099]], Anime: TBD) ===
Rumi takes the Detective Boys to Shizuoka. Conan is suspicious of her intentions regarding Haibara so he asks [[Subaru Okiya]] to join them. When Subaru asks her why she is concerned about Haibara, she lets slip that she believes Haibara is the daughter of certain woman who ruined her life. When they encounter the criminal gang involved in the case, Subaru calls for Rumi to take the Detective Boys to a safe place while he uses Jeet Kune Do to fend them off, causing Rumi to have flashbacks of [[Tsutomu Akai]] seventeen years ago after hearing his words. Rumi locks the Detective Boys in a safe place, bending the doorknob to make it unusable, so she can secretly defeat their pursuers. When Subaru arrives and finds the criminals unconscious, Rumi lies to Subaru that they must have fought among themselves, unaware that he and Conan witnessed the scars on her hand.

=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===
[[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]
Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]]. Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely uses clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occured in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she has bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behinds his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.

Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquilizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquilizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys. She allowed them to thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, Sumiko, be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the Black Organization back.

Rumi has a interest in Ai Haiabra since she says she resembled the woman (Ai mother) who ruined her.<ref>Beach House Murder Case</ref>
=== Sumiko Kobayashi ===
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.
However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to "gambit" in chess, and was praised by Rum.

=== Ryujiro Uematsu ===
[[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.

=== Hyoue Kuroda ===
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.

=== Kohji Haneda ===
Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend and it's implied that she also has feelings for him. She thought of him as a "foolish person" because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf "Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end. "She still seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.

== Name origin ==
[[Gosho Aoyama]] claims to have named Rumi after [[Wikipedia: Rumiko Takahashi|Rumiko Takahashi]], the author of the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', whom heroine [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]] is performed by her voice actress in the anime.

After they finish, Rumi treats them to dinner. But when they hear loud sounds from the neighbor, they goes over to check it out and finds a dead body and an unconscious man. Later back in Rumi's apartment, Conan finds a receipt that may prove that she knew the case would happen before hand and invited them there on purpose.

[[Hyoue Kuroda]] is shown reading the news article on his phone. [[Kanenori Wakita]] is shown reading a newspaper, but the article is not shown to us.

When they approach a group cooking curry over a fire nearby, one of them mentions that he has an injured eye and nearly had to get a prosthetic eye. Rumi clenches up, and Conan notices her gripping something in her pocket. Later one of the other campers is burned alive inside his own tent. Kuroda emerges from an adjacent tent and asks her whether the police should be called. However Rumi is standing in stunned silence, staring forward. When she snaps back to reality, Haibara seems to notice that Rumi can't see out of her right eye. Conan starts to wonder if Rumi is clumsy on purpose or because she cannot see. When Kuroda seems to know the order that everyone introduced themselves in, despite originally claiming to have had earplugs in while sleeping. Rumi accuses him of spying on someone. Rumi has the Detective Boys build an acorn balance toy, which leads to the solution of the case. After Conan and Kuroda uncover the culprit, the culprit uses Ayumi as a hostage, Rumi manages to distract him long enough for Kuroda and Yuminaga to arrest him.

At the mention of good luck charms, Rumi remembers back to when Kohji said, "With the watchtower bishop, you can be sure of making a good move", while holding up a shogi bishop. Then he says, "So they're going to kill me despite that?" She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a "foolish person", while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk. When Ayumi gives a 4-leaf clover to Rumi, saying that because Rumi is clumsy she needs good fortune, Rumi waits for the Detective Boys in front of her to look away, except Conan who is standing behind her looking at her, and throws away the 4-leaf clover.

Also, Rumi notices the shogi piece which has been kept on her back pocket is missing and finds out it has been picked up by Amuro according to Genta. After they are rescued from the cellar, Rumi uses the badge as a bait to lure Amuro back into the cellar and knocks him out in order to retrieve the shogi piece.

=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===
[[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]
Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]]. Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely uses clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occured in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she has bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behinds his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.

Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquilizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquilizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys. She allowed them to thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, Sumiko, be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the Black Organization back.

Rumi has a interest in Ai Haiabra since she says she resembled the woman (Ai mother) who ruined her.<ref>Beach House Murder Case</ref>
=== Sumiko Kobayashi ===
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.
However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to "gambit" in chess, and was praised by Rum.

=== Ryujiro Uematsu ===
[[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.

=== Hyoue Kuroda ===
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.

=== Kohji Haneda ===
Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend and it's implied that she also has feelings for him. She thought of him as a "foolish person" because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf "Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end. "She still seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.

== Name origin ==
[[Gosho Aoyama]] claims to have named Rumi after [[Wikipedia: Rumiko Takahashi|Rumiko Takahashi]], the author of the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', whom heroine [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]] is performed by her voice actress in the anime.

Her personality seems to be that of a well meaning but really clumsy and incapable teacher.

It is still unknown what style she uses, but she has shown proficiency in [[Wikipedia:Jōdō|Jōdō]] and elbow strikes.

=== Keen observation and deduction skills ===
She has also shown her reasoning and deductive abilities, giving hints to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] to solve a case. She may also be aware of Conan's peculiar use of gadgets as she has witnessed him tranquilizing [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]], and using the voice changer bow tie to perform a sleeping deduction show. Conan mentioned using his tranquilizer watch to her on her first appearance.

=== Painting ===
She is shown to be able to paint a life-sized tiger in a realistic style in one afternoon, and is able to easily fix a smudged painting.

=== Firearms ===
She is shown to be a capable sniper and counter-sniper, tricking assailants into shooting at a decoy to reveal their positions, before successfully returning fire.

=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===
[[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]
Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]]. Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely uses clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occured in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she has bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behinds his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.

Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquilizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquilizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys. She allowed them to thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, Sumiko, be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the Black Organization back.

Rumi has a interest in Ai Haiabra since she says she resembled the woman (Ai mother) who ruined her.<ref>Beach House Murder Case</ref>
=== Sumiko Kobayashi ===
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.
However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to "gambit" in chess, and was praised by Rum.

=== Ryujiro Uematsu ===
[[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.

=== Hyoue Kuroda ===
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.

=== Kohji Haneda ===
Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend and it's implied that she also has feelings for him. She thought of him as a "foolish person" because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf "Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end. "She still seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.

== Name origin ==
[[Gosho Aoyama]] claims to have named Rumi after [[Wikipedia: Rumiko Takahashi|Rumiko Takahashi]], the author of the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', whom heroine [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]] is performed by her voice actress in the anime.

== Personality ==
Her personality seems to be that of a well meaning but really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the [[Detective Boys]] on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her. However, once she was out of sight of them, her personality changed dramatically to that of a skilled fighter with a scary face, where she rendered three assailants unconscious with a broom in what could have been seconds.

== Appearance ==

== Abilities ==
=== Martial arts ===
While well-hidden, she is a skilled fighter, much stronger than [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]. So coordinated and precise, she can seamlessly create the illusion that her taking down foes is a mixture of clumsiness and pure luck. It is still unknown what style she uses, but she has shown proficiency in [[Wikipedia:Jōdō|Jōdō]] and elbow strikes.

=== Keen observation and deduction skills ===
She has also shown her reasoning and deductive abilities, giving hints to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] to solve a case. She may also be aware of Conan's peculiar use of gadgets as she has witnessed him tranquilizing [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]], and using the voice changer bow tie to perform a sleeping deduction show. Conan mentioned using his tranquilizer watch to her on her first appearance.

=== Painting ===
She is shown to be able to paint a life-sized tiger in a realistic style in one afternoon, and is able to easily fix a smudged painting.

=== Firearms ===
She is shown to be a capable sniper and counter-sniper, tricking assailants into shooting at a decoy to reveal their positions, before successfully returning fire.

Kuroda emerges from an adjacent tent and asks her whether the police should be called. However Rumi is standing in stunned silence, staring forward. When she snaps back to reality, Haibara seems to notice that Rumi can't see out of her right eye. Conan starts to wonder if Rumi is clumsy on purpose or that she cannot see so she is clumsy.

Then he says, "So they're going to kill me despite that?" She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a "foolish person", while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
** Katsuhiko’s heart literally stopped on Valentine's Day. Beside his dead body, a cigarette and a chocolate bar were found among his usual items.
** Before the tragedy, he was in his small party where they ate and drank. On Valentine’s day (because of the tradition), each girl gives a guy a bar of chocolate, to which the guy would consume preferentially.
** Conan noticed that even though her son died, Katsuhiko's mother is doing the dishes.
** Susumu ate chocolate which angered his mother, but she suddenly had a change of heart and gave him some cake despite Susumu's previous troubles with cavities.

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

Katsuhiko does not smoke with filters, that's why Naomichi's attempt to poison him through this, failed. Meanwhile, his mother knew his habits, and put poison in his coffee, knowing that he wouldn't have eaten the antidote in the cake. The reason she had a change of heart when Susumu drank the coffee is because he took the poison, so she quickly gave him the antidote in the cake so he wouldn't die. She also tried to frame Yoshimi by switching the chocolate she gave him with a half-eaten bar that Katsuhiko apparently ate. Though his mother immediately washed all the cups and switched the chocolates, it is pointed out that forensics could inspect the drainage to find the poison and the swapped chocolate is already visibly melting through the culprit's kimono. After Kaori exposes Katsuhiko's back story and his love for Yoshimi, she breaks down and confesses, apologizing to Yoshimi for everything.

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

Katsuhiko was an orphan who was adopted by his only living relative, his paternal aunt, when he was a kid. His foster mother knew he fell in love with Yoshimi since she closely resembled his deceased mother, so she tried to frame her.</spoiler>
