== Case ==
=== Situation ===
In Tokyo International Airport, Conan and the group are going to take a trip to Okinawa by taking a passenger plane. When Ran takes the glasses off Conan, who was sound asleep, she smiled, as it reminded her of Shinichi sleeping. Ran falls asleep as well and dreams about going to [[Wikipedia: Los Angeles|Los Angeles]] with Shinichi.

On the way to Los Angeles, a company employee named Tsuneo Ukai is telling the photographer named Kazuhiro Otaka to not smoke. Otaka said sorry to Ukai and spits smoke at him. Next to him is another photographer named Tsugumi Amano, also his girlfriend, tells him to cut it out. Otaka then tells Amano to lighten up because he will be rich by selling the negatives to the newspaper office. Another photographer named Chizuru Tachikawa questions if the negatives are real or not. She also mentions that the congressman from America might have come to Japan to spread rumors. It would be embarrassing if they caught a wrong person by taking a picture. Otaka tells them that he already sent two pictures and they confirmed it's the right person. After the conversation, Otaka sees Saginuma, another photographer, sleeping. Another man who's in front of Otaka is the freelance journalist, Edward Crowe and he's just looking at Otaka.

Amano asked the stewardess to bring her medicine because she felt sick. Ukai stood up and walked around as he isn't comfortable sitting in a plane. Meanwhile, Amano is still feeling sicker and Tachikawa then switches seat with her. They notice that Otaka is missing from his seat.

Later, a drunk passenger is knocking on the restroom door for telling the person who's using the restroom to hurry up. The stewardess unlocks the door and finds the dead body of Kazuhiro Otaka.

Ran heard people saying they found a dead body in the restroom. Ran is about to tell the person next to her that something horrible happened but he's gone. Inspector Megure who happened to be onboard was taken to the crime scene, suddenly, a strange boy deduces that the cause of death is probably nerve damage. The weapon is pointed but has no blade, like a ice pick. Before he was killed, someone made him take something that put him to sleep. Inspector Megure angrily asks who he is and the strange boy reveals himself as, "Kudo Shinichi". Megure remembers Yusaku Kudo who was his friend but hardly recognizes Shinichi. He is happy to see him but angrily got him out of the crime scene because it is an official police investigation. Then, Megure asks the stewardess that if he could borrow the camera from someone to take a picture. The stewardess said that Shinichi already took the pictures and already returned the camera. Shinichi deduces that from the appearance of the corpse, and the hardening of the chin, he has been dead for around an hour or two. There are three things that Shinichi cannot understand. First, there are some bloodstains on the wall, but there are no stains on the back of victim's clothes. Second, to the right of the death causing injury, there is a scratch. Third is the corpse's left side pocket. The inside is soaking wet, but the victim's hand is dry. Megure makes Shinichi leave. Takagi had now arrived at the scene and starts investigating. The official verdict was the exact same as what Shinichi dedeuced. Takagi wonders of who he is and Megure explains that he is Yusaku's son. He told Takagi that in the past, whenever he gets stuck on cases, Yusaku always solved for him. He remembered Shinichi as a little kid who used to follow his father to the crime scenes. He was so good at analyzing the crime scenes. Takagi became really impressed and wonders if they could ask for his help, Megure calls Takagi an idiot because he doesn't want any help from an amateur.

Next, Megure and Takagi decided to find some eyewitnesses but of course Shinichi interrupts again that he's the only witness who saw everything. He thinks it's four suspects. The ones that went to the bathroom, besides the victim. He doesn't remember how long each one took, but he can recognize them. Since his seat is in the back, he was watching them the whole time.

The four suspect are, the two women next to the victim's empty seat, Tsugumi Amano and Chizuru Tachikawa. The man sitting next to the aisle, Tsuneo Ukai and the man named Edward Crowe in the front.

Tachikawa wonders why would he would be murdered. Megure is about to explain but Ukai mentions that it's because of the negatives. He would sell them to the newspapers for a lot of money. But there were no negatives in Otaka's possession. Saginuma asks if that he was murdered with a sharp object jabbed into his neck. Megure confirms that is correct which means this culprit was professional. But anyone with enough medical knowledge, as well as the right weapon, all of them including Saginuma could have done it.

Amano said that she wasn't feeling well, so she went to the restroom to throw up. When she came back, Otaka was still in his seat. After that, she asked the flight attendant for air sickness medication. Shortly after, Ukai left to go the restroom, which took about five minutes. Megure said that he should have been sitting next to the victim, with the aisle in between. Ukai said he was uncomfortable, so he walked around for a bit. When the flight attendant came back with the medicine and water, Otaka already left his seat. It took less than a minute. Tachikawa went to the bathroom too, after Tsugumi had taken the medicine. It had been about twenty minutes. Since Otaka hadn't come back yet, she went to check on him. At that time, he was still alive. She knocked and asked, "Is anything wrong?" He answered back by knocking. Next for Edward, Shinichi asks him when did he go to the toilet. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember when he did. Saginuma wonders how long is the police going to keep up with the pointless questioning. The one who has the weapon is the culprit so he thinks the police should search the other four because he said as for him, he was asleep the entire time. Ukai calls Saginuma a liar because he knows that he left his seat that's behind Otaka's. Saginuma got confused and Megure asks what is he saying. Ukai said that Otaka was in his seat before he left the restroom. At that time, Saginuma wasn't in his seat. Saginuma asks Ukai that what is he talking about because he was so sure that he was asleep the entire time. He also said that the other four had gone to the restroom and points at Shinichi that he saw it too. Since all five of them are suspects, the police are going to conduct a body search and inspect their luggages.

Later, the police couldn't find a murder weapon even by searching the five people's bodies and luggages. They decided to search the victim's belongings as nothing suspicious was found on the suspects.

Takagi opens the overhead bin door and asks Amano which luggage is Otaka's. Amano points to the bag so she reaches to get it with her right arm but suddenly stops. Amano remembers that Otaka said something strange. About a week ago, he left his bag in the photo studio. The next day, he found the bag had been cut up with a knife. So it's the new bag that Otaka brought currently and Amano reaches to get it with her left arm. In Otaka's bag, there's nothing that could be the murder weapon. After seeing his passport, Takagi remembers that three years ago, Kazuhiro Otaka won the newspaper's big journalistic photography contest. The picture he won was about the mother handing her baby to the fireman during a big apartment fire.

Meanwhile, Ukai is still accusing Saginuma that he's the culprit. He knows that Saginuma is lying about sleeping the whole time. He saw it when Amano was taking medication, Saginuma wasn't in his seat. Megure asks where was Saginuma at that time. The stewardess doesn't think he was in his seat. Saginuma asks the other flight attendant if he was asleep in his seat but unfortunately, she can't remember. When Shinichi asks something to the stewardess by whispering, she said yes. Shinichi had finally figured out who the culprit is. He then asks Ran something that's inappropriate and Ran confirms his suspicions. Shinichi finally found the weapon that the culprit used to killed the victim.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Shinichi begins his deduction by singling out the culprit among the suspects.

* First, although Megure claims that the most suspicious person is Saginuma, he is the least likely person to commit the crime as he was not among the people that went to the restroom. However, he is not entirely uninvolved with the case, as he was unknowingly '''used by''' the culprit, who is among the four people and told a lie to cover up their crime.

* Next, even though Tachikawa claims that the victim knocked on the restroom's door back when she went to check sounds not so believable, but the truth is that there was a person inside the restroom other than the victim: '''Edward Crowe''', who was searching for Otaka's negatives, causing his colonge's smell to get on the victim's clothes. Realizing this, he used his handkerchief dabbed with water to wipe the smell away, resulting in one of his hands not having the colonge's smell. Though Megure thinks that Edward doesn't understand what they're speaking, Shinichi reveals that Edward is actually fluent in Japanese due to having checkbook to buy art in Japan. With this revealed, Edward confessed that he was hired to buy the negatives by Representative Dickson before it could reach America. When Otaka went to the restroom, Edward thought it was a good time to make a deal with him and followed shortly later, but instead found the murdered Otaka. Not wanting to leave empty handed, he searched Otaka's body for the negatives, but didn't find it. When Tachikawa knocked on the restroom's door, he replied by knocking it back to prevent her from coming in. His statement is verified by Shinichi, as Otaka's body was moved from the original position after the blood on the wall'''had dried''': only the person who came in after the murderer was capable of such action as the murderer didn't need to wait until the blood dried if they wanted to move the body. Additionally, Edward was the only person among the suspects who didn't know that Otaka kept the the negatives in his pocket due to his seating position, thus it was necessary for him to search in every possible location, hence the need to move the body. Due to this, the murder must happened '''before''' Edward went to the restroom, thus Shinichi removes both Tachikawa and Edward from the suspect list, leaving Ukai and Amano.

* From Ukai's statement, when Amano asked the flight attendant for medicine, Saginuma was not in his seat. However, Saginuma was '''indeed''' in his seat sleeping and being '''used by''' the culprit '''Tsugumi Amano'''.

Shinichi then explains Amano's method in committing the murder.

* Before the trip, Amano reserved a seat behind Saginuma in advance for her alibi trick and canceled it shortly before the plane took off.

* While on the plane, Amano switched Tachikawa's sickness medicine with sleeping pills and gave it to Saginuma, causing him to fall asleep.

* She then waited until Tachikawa was asleep as well, and asked Otaka to go to the restroom because she needs to talk with him. She then brought a handkerchief soaked with chloroform and the murder weapon to the restroom, knocked out Otaka and stabbed him to death. Afterward, she hid the weapon and used scissors from her knitting set to cut the negatives in Otaka's possession to pieces and flushed them down the toilet in order to disguise the crime as Otaka being robbed for the negatives, in order to remove any suspicion from herself. Amano also didn't lock the door during the murder to see if there was a passenger waiting outside when she left the crime scene, and if someone tried to get in she would just use her hand to block them from coming in so that they would have to use another restroom instead.

* After leaving the crime scene, Amano went to sit next to the sleeping Saginuma, using a hat similar to the one worn by Otaka in her possession, a sleeping eye mask, and a blanket to disguise Saginuma as Otaka, and called one of the air hostesses for a sickness medicine in order for the hostess to confirm that Otoka was still alive after she returned from the toilet. She could’ve also used her luggage and another blacket to disguise the seat next to her as the sleeping Tachikawa to further this deception. The empty seat behind Saginuma was to prevent anyone from noticing that she wasn't sitting in her original seat, and to cast suspicion that Saginuma had left his seat at some point. Because the entire plane was dark, the hostess easily fell for Amano's trick, and while the hostess was fetching the medicine, Amano removed the disguise, returned to her own seat, and pretended to cough to wake up Tachikawa. Once the hostess came back with the medicine, Amano pretended to notice that Otaka hasn't returned from the restroom so that Tachikawa would go to check it out. All of her actions were to shift the exact time that Otaka went to the restroom, and with the hostess and Ukai as a witness, Amano would be removed from the suspect list as she was still in her seat during the time the murder supposedly took place. A piece of the cut negatives was found on a seat next to Saginuma's, confirming this theory.

* The murder weapon is something that can easily be passed through a metal detector at the airport and wouldn't be noticed even if she had undergone body check twice: her '''bra wire''' that was specifically sharpened on one end for the murder. By using all her strength, she could easily stab the back of Otaka's neck up to five or six centimeters and would be deep enough to hit a spinal nerve. The scratch besides the wound is concrete proof that it was used in the crime, and since it was impossible to get rid of the weapon without the police realizing that the woman who is missing a wire in her bra is the culprit, Amano must still have that specific wire in her possession, and Otaka's blood on it will prove beyond all doubts that she is the murderer.

==== Motive ====

Amano confesses to her crime and reveals that three years ago, Otaka won a journalistic photography award because of a picture of a mother inside a burning building handing her baby to a fireman. She began to like Otaka because of said picture that captured its emotion so well, as it was also the same fire that killed her older brother.

* Deceased (burned)

{{EndBox}}

After dating him, Amano discovered that the photo in fact wasn't the only one that he had taken: Otaka had taken dozens of pictures of the fire, many of them were even before the fire had started, from a small cloud of smoke until the entire building had become enveloped in flames, she then realized that he was the one who started it in the first place. Her suspicions were soon confirmed when Otaka revealed "Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, he created the moment himself".

Amano also expresses disappointment that Shinichi easily discovered her weapon, as she was very confident in her plan. Shinichi answers that it was because of her unnatural action of switching her hand from right to left midway while trying to take down the luggage. This seemingly unimportant action caused him to realize that the wire had started to poke into her arm, requiring her to switch her hand, and thus allowed him to come to conclusion that she is the murderer. Satisfied with Shinichi's explaination, Amano silently nods as Takagi places her under arrest.

=== Epilogue ===
In the end, Ran who is still dreaming about talking to Shinichi about how he asked to see her bra and asking if it has a steel wire is sexual harassment. Kogoro is asking Ran what did Shinichi do to her in a big fuss while the stewardess tries to calm Kogoro to get back in his seat. Ran wakes up shortly after while the befuddled Ayumi asks what is the meaning of sexual harassment.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan go to Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture, because of Sonoko's schemes to get a man. At the beach, Sonoko takes a picture of Ran fixing her bathing suit and threatens to send the picture to Shinichi. Sonoko is upset about her lack of love life. However, a college student approaches the girls and asks Sonoko to lunch. He appears to be romantically interested and asks Sonoko to dinner as well. They agree to meet at their lodgings later that day. The college student tells the group a story about a brunette that was murdered a year ago and now haunts the restaurant he wants to dine at. Ran is frighten by the story and forbids Sonoko in using the camera to capture a ghost in it. Sonoko suggest that maybe they could show such a picture to Shinichi and see if he can figure something out, since she is going to show the other picture anyway. The group then finds out that another brunette was murdered in the woods recently in the same manner as the brunette from a year ago.

The group goes to the crime scene and meet Sango Yokomizo who cautions them to stay safe. Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are staying at a cheap inn because Sonoko doesn't want to scare men away by staying at an expensive luxury hotel. In the evening, the three of them wait for the college student to pick them up in his car. Sonoko realizes that she forgot something in her room and goes back up to get it. Here she discovers a suspicious figure searching her bags. The figure attacks her and is about to stab her with a knife when Ran and Conan, worried about the time Sonoko is taking, come to find her.

}}

Sonoko is saved and the figure escapes through the window. The stoic, and somewhat unfriendly, high school student Makoto Kyogoku that is working at the inn moves the group to another room. Ran thinks she has seen this person somewhere before but cannot remember where. The college student shows up muddy and wet and Conan suspects him of attacking Sonoko. Sonoko says she bit the attacker's bicep in her struggle and Conan makes the college student take off his shirt. However, the college student does not have a bite mark on his arm. Makoto has a bandaged bicep and falls under suspicion but Sonoko says he wasn't the attacker since the attacker was hairy. The college student, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan decide to have dinner at the inn because the college student says his car broke down. Conan speculates that Sonoko's attacker was looking for the photographs she was taking during the trip, but cannot figure out why. Conan does not think there are any incriminating photos after Sonoko shows them, after taking out the one of Ran. Perhaps the murderer overheard Sonoko talking about the photographs and misunderstood. This case is still full of mysteries and Conan cannot figure out why Sonoko was attacked and why the killer would think that she took a picture, that needs to get rid of.

Conan believes the culprit was the serial killer who attacked Sonoko last night.

While they walk to the police station, Sonoko says that she does have one picture left, which is the one she wants to show Shinichi. Conan realizes that culprit still thinks that Sonoko has an incriminating picture and has sent the car over the cliff to destroy it along with the luggage. But he's still confused as to why the culprit thinks such a picture exist.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The suspicious man, Terabayashi, is revealed to be a police detective from Chiba and he is not the serial murderer from the past. The actual murderer from one year ago and who tried to kill Sonoko is '''Tadahiko Michiwaki'''. Terabayashi had suspected him of murdering four other women from his district. Michiwaki is the one who attacked Sonoko last night and escaped before Ran and Conan came into Sonoko's room. Sonoko didn't bite her attacker in the arm, but in the leg. She had made the mistake because she was attacked in the dark. Michiwaki also made his own car move down towards the cliff by putting the hand brake down while talking to her. In order to prevent the car from moving, he put ice under the wheel. Which later melted due to the heat and caused the car to move. Anyone would assume that the water puddle left behind came from the air conditioner. He left the lock picking tool on the ground to make it look like someone had broken into his car.

}}

The motive as to why Michiwaki murdered many brown-haired woman is because he was rejected by his brown-haired girlfriend and Sonoko and the previous victims resembled the woman who rejected him. Another reason why he is targeting Sonoko was that when he was killing his latest victim, a train passed by behind him and he saw the lights from it. He mistook it as a flash from a camera and when he later saw Sonoko with a camera not far from the crime scene, he thought that she took a picture of him with the victim and was going to show it to Shinichi, when she talked about the picture with Ran. This was further strengthened by the fact that Sonoko's other pictures showed couples being intimate. It made him think that Sonoko took a picture in the belief that it was another intimate moment. Sonoko never told Michiwaki what the picture really showed, because Ran always interrupted or stopped her from telling anyone. So he approached the group with the intention to find the picture and destroy it. Conan, Ran and Terabayashi arrived at the scene, but it was almost too late, until Makoto saves Sonoko from being stabbed. He incapacitated Michiwaki easily using his karate moves.

Later, Makoto is revealed to be the captain of Haido High's karate team, which explains why Ran felt that she had met him before. He was worried for Sonoko, because he had seen Michiwaki flirting with two other girls before her. He explains that he once saw Sonoko during a karate competition that both he and Ran took part in, cheering for Ran in such a spirited way that he felt immediately drawn to her.

Later, it is revealed that Sonoko and Makoto had started dating but Makoto had to leave for another karate tournament. Sonoko sad, but not disheartened decided to flirt with more men, much to Ran and Conan’s chagrin.</spoiler>

==== Part 1 ====
Conan, Kogoro, and Ran take the overnight North Star Express to Hokkaido to meet a former client. On the train, they meet up with a series of people. However, in the night, a murder case occurs when a burglar seemingly kills a jewelry trader, and escapes through the window.

Conan noticed that the plot is very similar to an unpublished novel written by his father that had been stolen ten years before. However, unable to contact Yusaku Kudo, Conan takes the case into his own hands, and finds his mother on the train.

==== Part 2 ====
Conan reveals to the suspicious woman that he knows her identity - it is Yukiko Kudo, his mother, in disguise. As they discuss the case, Kogoro calls all the passengers to witness his inaccurate deduction, enabling Conan to figure out the trick. However, a worried Conan recalls that in the novel, the detective boy who solved the case was murdered by the trap he set for the criminal. Yukiko volunteers to act as a decoy to help him find the proof.

<spoiler>
When the train lands at Sapporo Station, however, Conan and Yukiko are separated and the criminal moves, intending to push her onto the tracks.

Yusaku appears just in time and reveals the trick and his own identity to the criminal, who had idolized his work. The culprit is '''Toshinori Kaetsu'''.

Kaetsu dressed like Asama and made people believe that he jump off the train by using his fishing equipment. First, he hit Asama in the head until he died and broke the window using silenced gun. Then, he put the fishing line through the belt loop on the back of his pants and hung him outside the window. He tied the side of the fishing line to the pulley and the other to something stable outside the room. Lastly, he used another fishing line, looped one end, and put a piece of tape through it. He passed the other end into the lock and tied the end to the line he cut. After that, he went to the lobby car, shot Izumo, and ran back to Asama's room. He opened the door and fired some shots to make people believe he shattered the window then. He saw Kogoro and the conductors following him, so he shot at them. While they were shielding themselves from the bullets, he went to hide himself next to the stairs and cut the fishing line to release the string from the pulley so the corpse will be released. When the line was cut, the corpse would drag the fishing line tied to the door down. The dragging force released the tape but the inertia made the door close completely. He used this trick to framed Asama on the murder of Izumo. He chose to operate in the tunnel in the middle of the night because he didn't want people off the train to see the corpse hanging off. Also, the hallway was dark so no one would see the fishing line tied to the room. Lastly, he put sleeping pills in his wife's dinner box so she couldn't hear the gunshot. The shirt the criminal used is found on his luggage together with the disguise outfit. This is the evidence that he is really the culprit.

Kaetsu admitted the two murders and revealed he imitated the unpublished novel of a famous novelist that he likes. He, Asama and a female accomplice were members of the robbing gang. It is the accomplice who is his girlfriend dies of over consume drugs. Kaetsu left the gang and planned to avenge both Asuma for forcing his girlfriend to over consume drugs and Izumo for selling his girlfriend drugs. He had Asama rob Izumo's jewelry store but Izumo didn't know anything, he pressed the alert bell and Asama escaped. He later planned to have both Izumo and Asama to take the overnight North Star Express. Yusaku asks if he follows the incomplete novel of Yusaku and uses it to construct the murders, much to Kaetsu's surprise until Yusaku reveals himself to be the author of that unfished novel. After being convinced by Yusaku, Kaetsu surrendered. Yusaku and Yukiko flew back to Los Angeles.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Conan and the Detective Boys are watching a soccer game when someone calls the television station covering the game. This person demands that 50 million yen be given to him, or he will indiscriminately shoot someone in the stands.

==== Part 2 ====
When the money is being picked up, the police attempt to capture the culprit. However, it turns out that this person was just an accomplice and the real shooter is in the stands, and will shoot someone unless this person is set free. The police are forced to let him go, and he makes an impossible demand: 1 billion yen must be delivered before the end of the match. Conan realizes with this plan that the culprit had aimed to kill someone from the start, and he has to find out who the shooter who is still in the stadium is before he murders someone before his eyes.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan observed the recorded video feed and noticed that whenever the first culprit was on camera, the camera immediately turned away, and it was not a coincidence. His partner was thus likely to be the cameraman, who deliberately chose not to film him to avoid suspicion. The culprit is '''Hiruta'''. His motive was that the TV station inadvertently destroyed his and his partner's plan to rob a bank, because they arranged a TV show around the bank, which attracted a big crowd foiling their robbery plan. Hiruta's wife who was expecting money from that heist started drinking and ended up committing suicide. Upon being discovered, Hiruta was about to shoot Conan with a gun that he had hidden under his arm.

Conan attempted to tranquilize him with the Stun-Gun Wristwatch, but unfortunately the dart hit the gun instead, leaving him defenseless. Luckily, a soccer ball that was kicked out of bounds by Ramus flew past them, allowing Conan to kick the ball knocking out the culprit. In the end the police found the accomplice and was arrested along with the gunman.</spoiler>

== Remastered version ==
A remastered version of both episodes aired on January 21 and 28, 2012. It was reaired again on December 10 and 17, 2022, coinciding with the [[Wikipedia: 2022 FIFA World Cup|2022 FIFA World Cup]].

== Trivia ==
* A DVD that includes The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case was given out with the June 1st 2012 issue of Shonen Sunday Super for promoting [[The Eleventh Striker]].
* The culprit's pistol is a suppressed Beretta 92FS. Conan thought that the accomplice's gun was a Russian Tokarev gun, based on the 7.62 mm full metal jacket bullets.
* Although Miwako Sato has made a cameo in a previous [[A Mysterious Sniper Murder Case|anime-original case]], this is her first official and canon appearance.
* This game takes place at the final match of the [[Wikipedia: Emperor's Cup|Emperor's Cup]] on New Year's Day.
* There are 56,000 people in the audience, which could also be the capacity of the stadium.
* The ex-footballer [[Wikipedia: Ruy Ramos|Ruy Ramos]] makes a cameo.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan sneaks into Hirota's apartment and attempts to stop her from meeting the assailants. Ignoring Conan's warning, Hirota incapacitates Conan but doesn't knock him out, and after apologizing she heads off. Conan shoots one of his sensors towards Hirota's car and manages to get it stuck there, then follows her as fast as possible on his solar powered skateboard.

Almost at the end of the day, Hirota comes face to face with Gin and Vodka. She asks them why did they kill the other two, and they tell her that's just how the Organization does things. Then she asks Gin to release her little sister in exchange for the 1 billion yen she stole from the bank, betting on how they can't kill her because they won't get the money otherwise. Gin however shoots her fatally before she can do the same to him, and Vodka takes the keys to a coin locker containing the money from the robbery.

Conan arrives at the warehouse shortly after and finds a mortally wounded Akemi, who reveals to him the existence of the crime syndicate Black Organization and gives him another key, the real one belonging to the locker where she actually hid the billion yen. She then dies in Conan's arms, apologizing for everything and taking his secret with her. Conan somberly calls the police, who arrive and rule Akemi's death as a suicide since the murder weapon has only her fingerprints. Conan says nothing to disuade them, and soon they find the stolen money. As Ran tearfully hugs Conan, and Kogoro and Megure handle the rest, Conan promises to himself that he will take down the Black Organization.</spoiler>

== Plothole note ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
The [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|manga version]] of [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]] ended with Akemi Miyano encountering and being fatally wounded by Gin, then being found by Ran and Conan, and finally dying in Conan's arms.
The anime production team heavily altered the case in the Episode 13 version because they thought the anime was only going to last one season and end with Movie 1. Once they realized the show was going to continue, they had to redo the case and sticking closer to the manga version.

Since the story is very important to the continuity, such as leading up to [[Ai Haibara]]'s appearance, this episode was made to fix the plot hole. The murder scene proper is very similar to the original one, save for three details: Ran isn't present until after Akemi dies, [[Shiho Miyano]]'s silhouette when Akemi brings up her sister is omited, and the blood on the scene is ''severely'' censored.

Notably, the anime special [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small]], a re-telling of the first two episodes, showed a flashforward of Akemi's death and followed the manga version.

== Trivia ==
* Gin can be obviously seen using his right hand to fire the gun. Every other time Gin had used his left hand. It is assumed this was just a discontinuity, and does not suggest the fact that Gin is ambidextrous. [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode ONE]] shows Gin using his left hand in the re-adapted scene, same as the manga case.
* This is the first episode where Officer Tome is referred to by name.
* Shiro Kaizuka and the robbers packed the money in a white 1996 Mazda Demio (Mazda 121) [DW].
* Akemi Miyano's car used to see Gin is a vibrant red 1994 Ford Mustang (fourth generation).
* Although Kogoro, Ran, and Conan have met Masami Hirota, abet as a teenage girl in appearance in The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case, Ran and Kogoro appear completely unfamiliar to her.

==== Part 1 ====
When a fan of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], who works as a famous potter, invites the Mouri family out to his place for the weekend, Kogoro wins an valuable cup of pottery. After a long night of drinking, the group awakes and finds that a suicide has taken place. [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] thinks it may be more than a coincidence, but what is the real truth behind this mystery?

==== Part 2 ====
Despite most proof pointing to a suicide, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is convinced that a murder has taken place. He begins looking for additional proof that someone killed Masuko.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Ryuichi Seto'''. Earlier on, Masuko had freaked out after breaking what looked like an original Kikuemon pottery piece and it was theorized at first she 'killed herself' out of guilt for breaking something worth millions of yen. When Masuko was drunk and completely passed out, Ryuichi took the sleeping woman to the storage room instead of her bedroom, placing her inside a drawer and a hanging loose rope around her neck. After this he put Masuko's cellphone next to her, since she used it as an alarm clock; hours later, the still drunk and thus completely unaware Masuko woke up with the cellphone alarm, then tried to get out of bed, she ended up hanging herself instead. The blood came from a wound caused by a metal nail sticking out of the drawer. When Masuko "hung 'self", her leg hit the nail and got ripped open.

The motive was that Masuko was copying Kikuemon's prized pieces and selling them for huge prices behind her father-in-law's back. When she broke one of the copies, she was terrified because she believed she'd be found out. True to this belief, Ryouchi noticed the broken piece was a fake and later confronted her on it. He attempted to dissuade Masuko from her illegal gains, but when she harshly rebuffed him, Ryuichi was enraged both due to this and to his own pride and decided to kill her.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Kikuemon (Birth name, Mankichi Tsuchiya) - Forgemaster (Birth name, Stygas Wafulcot)
:* Masuko Tsuchiya - Margery Wafulcot
:* Yoshihiko Arita - Artie Stonewall
:* Ryuichi Seto - Sammy Hammerstoltz
:* Kaoru Otani - Otto

== Trivia ==
* During the party, Kogoro is asked to tell his deductions on some of the cases he solved. He was asked to tell how he solved [[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case|Tsukikage Island case]] and [[The Mist Goblin Legend Murder Case|Kiritengu case]] which Conan solved while as he was asleep, so he avoids telling those stories. He insists on telling the [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|reunion case]] which he partially solved and was not put asleep. But he had already told them that story. He also had already told them about [[Art Museum Owner Murder Case|museum case]] and [[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|magician case]] which he also partially solved and was not put asleep.
:* Conan notes that these are the only three cases that were solved while he was awake.
::* However, this is not true if TV original episodes are taken into consideration. In [[The Mystery Weapon Murder Case]], the case was also partially solved by Kogoro and he was not put asleep, so he could have told that story during the party.
* In the manga Japanese version, the hiragana ideograms on Kaoru's surname meaning "Ooya" and not "Otani".
* The name of Kikuemon is passed down from one treasure national pottery master onto his successor, and the trend continues. The current Kikuemon is the fifth or 6th one, and he had 3 apprentices, which one is expected to inherit the name after he passes on or retires. Kikuemon seems to be inspired from the world famous potter [[wikipedia:ja:樂吉左衛門|Raku Kichizaemon]], famous for the [[Wikipedia: Raku ware|Raku ware]], a type of ceramics used in tea. Raku Kichizaemon is also a hereditary title passed down from generation to generation.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and start his deduction. He tells them that the culprit manage to make the victim touch a certain thing laded with poison. The culprit did that by using a certain item that would provoke a concrete action with no possible error.

Inspector Megure thought of the telephone. If there's a call, everybody answers the phone. Minamizawa came to the office looking for his forgotten mobile phone. From that, Megure suspects him to have made a phone call from the outside so that Hida had to touch the phone which is laded with poison. However, Minamizawa is not the killer because he has a habit of biting his nails and in spite of this, when he came back, he took his phone barehanded. If there had been poison on the phone, he wouldn't have taken the risk to do that. He couldn't know which part of the phone Hida had touched. Moreover, it would have been impossible to know which hand Hida would use to take the phone. In addition, Hida could have taken the poisoned phone into his office, and that was a risk. This is the proof that Minamizawa is not the culprit.

Inspector Megure then thought of the computer. He said that the culprit put the poison on the power button and phoned the victim to ask him to check a document in the computer. Megure then suspects Iino. He said that Iino removed the poison by pretending to check the data in the computer. Again, Conan as Kogoro told him that Iino is not the culprit because there is no way he could have known beforehand that his boss would boot on the computer with his thumb. Furthermore, the poison could have spread to the keys of the keyboard if Hida had touched them. In addition, when Iino was verifying his data, several policemen were watching him. It would have been impossible to clean all the keyboard without being noticed. This is the proof that Iino is not the culprit.

Kogoro then points that there is one thing, an unstoppable way to put in contact the right thumb and the poison with no possible doubt. He explains that the victim heard the whistle noise of the whistle kettle in the kitchen and went to turn off the gas stove knob. The murderer put the poison on the knob of the cooker beforehand. Most cookers are made for right-handed people. It's difficult to turn the knob with the left hand. It was only necessary to put the poison on the left side of the knob. It was clear that Hida would put his right thumb there in order to turn off the fire. And, as a proof, the poison was only found on the inner handle of the door, and not on the outer handle because Hida left his office hastily leaving the door open, he touched the poison, went back to his office and locked the door. Hida was a mistrustful person, and he wouldn't have panicked because of a simple phone call. Kogoro then points out that the only person who was near the cooker after the body was found was '''Takako Fuji'''. Just before leaving the office, you put a whistle kettle on the fire so that the whistle sounded while Hida was counting the money. And, as she had foreseen, Hida was frightened by the whistle, touched the poisoned knob, and, later on, he licked the poison. She had planned to clean the poison tomorrow morning when she came to the office, but the corpse was found before than expected and the police arrived but she were afraid that they could find the poison traces. She used the moment when the policemen abandoned the kitchen to erase the poison, pretending to make some tea. Kogoro then points out that she used handkerchief and bleaching agent to erase completely the traces of poison in such a short time. Megure then put some iodine on her wet handkerchief and the color has disappeared. Kogoro then said that Takako's handkerchief was wet not because of water or sweat, but instead of bleaching agent. Bleaching agent is commonly used in medicine to clean the remains of disinfectant and it's also an antidote against the poison used in the crime. It neutralizes all the effects of cyanide. This is the proof that Takako is the one who erased the poison. Kogoro then points out that there still some bleaching agent left in the locker of the toilet. It's a product capable of bleaching at room temperature. He then said that after Takako's arrival, she went to the toilet to wet her handkerchief with the bleaching agent and then waited until she was able to remove the remaining poison on the knob of the cooker. Not only has she cleaned the poison, but also has changed its nature by means of that product in order to make it impossible to be discovered. She has deceived the police. Kogoro then said that the bleaching agent is colorless and odorless. Even if the handkerchief is wet, the police can think it is just water. Also, that product is not sold at normal chemist's. The fact of finding it in the toilet is surprising. Also, the fact that Fuji's handkerchief was soaked in bleaching agent, the product is found on the toilet, and she kept a wet handkerchief is the evidence that she is the culprit.

Fuji admitted the murder. Her boyfriend borrowed Hida some money and couldn't pay it back. Her boyfriend hung himself soon after. She then found out that her boyfriend borrowed money for her. Since she was a child, she suffered a heart disease. She had to be in a hospital since she left university three years ago. Her parents had died and, because of her bad temper, she had no friends. Only her boyfriend went to see her in the hospital. Her boyfriend told her to be brave because he was going to bear the expenses of her illness. She got over and went to visit him to his flat, where she found him hanging from the ceiling.

The contract of the loan granted by "Hida Finances" was lying under his feet. It turns out that she joined the company with the only purpose of taking revenge. She waited during all those time for the moment to come. Another proof that she is the culprit is because of her left hand, which was always in her pocket. When she take a cigarette, when she use her lighter, when she take an object, she only use her right hand. She used her left hand once: when she turned the knob of the cooker. She is a heavy smoker, her fingers touch her lips, she were afraid of that, so she deliberately turned the knob with your left hand because, even though she had cleaned the poison, it couldn't be assured that no poison remained. If she didn't take her left hand out of her pocket, it was because she didn't want to touch anything. Luckily, only her left hand fingerprints were found on the knob of the cooker. It was difficult to turn it with left hand. Fuji is soon arrested.

Three days later, Ran becomes addicted in playing mahjong much to Conan and Kogoro's surprise.</spoiler>

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
A baffling and seemingly impossible murder is committed at a secluded Mount Takao temple. Luckily Conan and Kogoro are on the scene. It is believed that the terrible Mist Goblin (Kiritengu), a creature with super strength, haunts the temple. Conan doesn't believe in goblins, but he may have to change his tune as the evidence suggests that the Mist Goblin may be more than just a legend.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Young '''Shunen''' is the killer, as well as the younger brother of the deceased monk Chunen. Some time ago, Chunen was in love with Tenei's grand-daughter Kikuno, who not only was the heiress to the temple but had just accepted to marry another Buddhist monk from a very important monastery. Tenei was so upset at such an affair, that when he learned that Chunen and Kikuno were about to elope, he killed Chunen using exactly the same trick that Shunen later used on him, which is described below, managing to strangle the guy and then set the scene in such a way that it looked like a perfect killing by the Mist Goblin.

{{InfoBox Crime

| victim = Chunen

}}

Shunen was always suspicious of Tenei and the other monks, so he hid his identity and entered the monastery to gain their trust and learn what had happened to his brother. He spent six months quietly snooping around, managing to more or less figure out how the murder was committed, but not the identity of the killer.

Shunen confronted Tenei right after the Mouris and Conan had gone to bed, having noticed how he had openly spoken about the Chunen incident when prior to that no one had ever mentioned it. Under the effects of alcohol, Tenei told Shunen everything. The young novice begged his superior to turn himself in, but Tenei refused and said he'd rather let everyone think the Mist Goblin took Chunen's life, since such a "mystery" had let him raise the fame of the monstery. Shunen then lost it and used his new found knowledge to kill Tenei in the same way Chunen died: he grabbed a rope, wrapped it around Tenei's neck, and pulled it as if he was carrying a heavy bag on his back: the "bag" being, of course, Tenei.

After recovering his senses and seeing that he had murdered Tenei, Shunen decided to use the same tricks Tenei used on Chunen to throw suspicions off himself: placing the body in a lifeboat, using the nearby cascade water to slowly fill up the room, hanging Tenei's body from the ceiling, and then breaking the wooden wall (most of it was done naturally from the internal water pressure). The room was easily filled with water by taping the priest hole with wooden planks and a tool board was used to divert the waterfall cascade. This explains why no hanging marks were left on the ceiling beam. Shunen, however, failed to dispose of the duct tape he used to tape the hole, which contained his fingerprints. When all of this is revealed, Shunen is arrested promptly and offers no resistance, only saying that he wishes Kogoro had been there to solve his brother's murder.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The anime version starts off with Conan, Ran and Kogoro looking at the cherry blossom trees, as well as Conan recaps his [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|first encounter]] with [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]]. The scene ends with Conan, Ran, and Kogoro having their picture taken.

== Continuity error ==
Conan mentioned his first encounter with Gin and Vodka in the episode. However, the anime staff replaced Gin and Vodka with random criminals in [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]], which means he shouldn't have known their codenames at this point of the anime.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Priest Tenei - Bonzai Tenei
:* Kikuno - Caitlin
:* Sandei Temple - Bendei Temple
* Conan didn't mention Gin and Vodka's names, although at this point of the anime he already knew their names in English dub for [[Diplomat Murder Case]] via [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]].

== Rerun ==
The episode was rerun on June 28, 2004. It was unchanged except for the addition of a new scene at the beginning.

== Trivia ==
* In the international version, not only the episode was split up into two parts, but the second part also used [[Nazo]] and its opening animation as the opening song instead of Feel Your Heart's.
* This is the second 1 hour special. [[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]] was the first.
* This is one of the few cases in which Conan solves the case as the Sleeping Kogoro without the use of his wristwatch stun gun, as Kogoro slips and falls, knocking himself out in the process.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Conan has to deal with some stiff competition when Heiji Hattori, heralded as the "Great Detective of the West", comes looking for Shinichi Kudo to prove which of them is the best detective. He shows up all of a sudden in the Mouri Agency (since he suspects Shinichi has a hand on Kogoro's recent success and Sonoko told him where it was located), bringing a nice Osakan liquor as a gift to Kogoro (so he'll let him stay overnight), and delivers the challenge, which will take place regarding the request coming from a rich woman: to make a background check on her future daughter-in-law, a young woman who's simply too good to be true so she could actually be a wolf in sheep's clothing or a gold digger in disguise.

However, before Conan can save his reputation, he must first save himself, as a mysterious sickness threatens to close his file for good, and then check on his surroundings, as the husband of their client appears dead right after the group arrives to his big and fancy house.

==== Part 2 ====
Heiji Hattori believes that the murder of the diplomat Isao Tsujimura is a locked room one, and he's also sure of who the killer is. But almost at the same time, Conan collapses due to his illness, and then Shinichi Kudo returns to the surprise of everyone, especially himself. As Shinichi tries to expose the real secret behind the perfectly sealed room, the rivalry between he and Heiji Hattori heats up. Deceit and treachery are revealed, as Isao Tsujimura's killer is finally unmasked and their reasons to commit the crime are explained.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Kimie Tsujimura'''. She murdered her husband by first drugging him with sleeping pills before going to the Mouri agency, then pretending to try waking him up, but actually poisoning him with a poison-imbibed needle that she hid inside a locket attached to her keychain. Which was exactly the same type of locket/keychain that Tsujimura himself had. She also tried to stage a fake locked room murder with Tsujimua's locket keychain and fishing lines specifically placed all around the home to make him look guilty no matter which room he visited after the murder and to make everyone believe that Tsujimura had died and had been locked inside the study with the sealed room trick; in reality, he was alive but asleep due to the drugs, so Kimie secretly prickled him to his death in front of everyone.

Kimie's reasons to murder her husband were the following: twenty years before she was was happily married to a man named Kenji Yamashiro and they had a little daughter, Yukiko. Tsujimura, who was in love with Kimie and jealous of Yamashiro, staged a cruel trap to accuse him of being involved in a fraud. Yamashiro was sent to jail and died there soon after, then Tsujimura courted the extremely distraught Kimie, and as soon as she was widowed he divorced his wife/Takayoshi's mother and convinced Kimie to marry him. Kimie was unaware of this and accepted, since she was completely devastated and had to give up her child's custody to Yamashiro's family.

{{EndBox}}

Twenty years after the "fraud", the adult Takayoshi brought a picture of a girl he had fallen for and intended to marry: she happened to be Yukiko, Kimie and Yamashiro's daughter, who had grown to look almost exactly like a younger Kimie save for her hair/color scheme. (As seen in an old picture of the just-married Kimie and Tsujimura, which the latter kept in his studio). Tsujimura realised who the girl was, was completely horrified and started screaming at his son for wanting to marry "that man's child". Kimie also recognized Yukiko in the picture and started to get suspicious, then Tsujimura revealed the truth to her. So she decided to kill her "husband" to get at him, using her visit to Kogoro to ask about Yukiko's background as an excuse that would provide her for an alibi.

(As a corollary, Toshimitsu Tsujimura had helped his son Isao in his plan to "steal" Kimie from Yamashiro and send him to jail. He had repented long ago, though, and he wanted to take the blame for his son's murder as a way to atone for his terrible sin. Therefore, when Heiji said that he was the culprit, he willingly confessed for a crime that he hadn't committed, trying to wash away the sin of ruining the Yamashiro family's lives.)

Kimie confesses that she is the killer, reveals the above mentioned motive and surrenders to the police without any resistence. Before being taken away, she begs Takayoshi to take good care of her daughter Yukiko, and Takayoshi promises to do so as Yukiko cries after learning the truth.

Heiji aknowledges his loss and tells this to Shinichi, aknowledging him officially as the winner of this case. Shinichi, however, calls him a fool and says that it's useless to compete, since there is and always be only one truth. After saying this, he almost collapses atop of the stairs; since he had recovered his original physical age solely as an effect of the homemade liquor (doubling as a folk cure for colds) that Heiji made him drink earlier ''and'' the cold he had, it was only temporary and it was wearing off.

Ran, who knew nothing about this, catches him trying to sneak away and tries to make him stay so he will go to a doctor. He tells her to wait and gets away by practically throwing himself down the stairs as his body begins to actually reverse to a child's one, nevermind his mental pleas to resist a little so he can stay with Ran a little longer. Then, Shinichi almost screams Ran's name before fully shrinking back.

When Ran finally catches up, she finds Conan alone in an oversized shirt. He tells her that Shinichi has just left and then passes out of pain and light-headness, which keeps Ran from making him answer any more questions.

Heiji returns to Osaka and, once Conan gets mildly better, he wonders why did his body return to normal even if for some minutes. He realises it was an after-effect of the liquor, but Ran catches him trying to snatch the bottle from the drunk Kogoro and takes it away. Conan is upset but then the Detective Kids drop by to visit, which cheers him up a little.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* In the English Dub, after the accusation of spying on Ran, Shinichi states that he's a detective and that's what he does, whereas in the Japanese version he states that he can tell how Ran is doing by hearing her voice.
* In the English Dub, Heiji drops subtle hints that the two men who poisoned him were [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]], whereas in the Japanese version he merely acknowledges Shinichi as a worthy rival. The dub change presumably was made to fix a story problem for the upcoming ''[[Game Company Murder Case]]'' (see that page's continuity error).
* In the English Dub, Heiji also, in the same lines about Gin and Vodka, alludes to the fact that he already knows that Shinichi is Conan, despite the fact that he doesn't deduce this until his next appearance in ''[[Holmes Freak Murder Case]]''.
* The names of the characters in the Funimation Dub are:
:* Heiji Hattori - Harley Hartwell
:* Heizo Hattori - Martin Hartwell
:* Kimie Tsujimura - Camiel Tarrington
:* Fumio Koike - Franklin Keene
:* Toshimitsu Tsujimura - Theodore Tarrington
:* Isao Tsujimura - Rudy Tarrington
:* Takayoshi Tsujimura - Thomas Tarrington
:* Yukiko Katsuragi - Jasmine Kassleschultz
:* Kenji Yamashiro - Mori Yasmeen
* This was the final episode aired by Adult Swim.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Kaori Nakahara'''. It was found out that she bought a large number of various snacks in advance in the afternoon when she went to go buy ingredients for the hot pot they had for dinner. She knew exactly what she needed to buy because she knew her colleagues too well, because of that she knew exactly what to buy. Before the crime, she took everyone's order and pretended to drive away, then parked the car a short distance away and took out everything that was on the list. By doing this she created an alibi so she could go kill Oyama.

The evidence was in the room that shows Kaori is the murderer it was on the table. The blood has been suddenly cut off, and it was revealed that it was one the tablecloth, Kogoro told them to place the tablecloth on the table so that the blood stains match. To prove that he left behind a dying message, he recalls that Oyama died on his knees then said it now became quite obvious that their names have the same kanji as the pieces in shogi, and it was found out that Oyama always said that if he had a horse then he'd have it all.

He then said that their names represent every piece, except for the knight, then told Ran to get the lighter that's on the sofa and put it on the tablecloth, where the bloodstains on the lighter and tablecloth match, then it shows that it was the rook. In other words, this dying message points to the person with the same kanji as the rook- Kaori Nakahara, then he reveals that she is the one who knocked the tablecloth off, then he reveals that the blood on the table suddenly stops, there's no blood on the sofa that the lighter was on. This proves that it was moved after the blood had completely dried. In other words, the murderer returned to to the scene of the crime and found the dying message. She saw the message after she had screamed so she hastily tried to hide it by removing the tablecloth causing the lighter to land on the couch.

Kaori confesses that she respected Oyama as a father, that's why she couldn't forgive him for stealing her thesis, Ginji reveals that it was about "The Development of Genetic Treatment for Intestinal Cancer". She then reveals that the thesis Oyama stole, it was the thesis that she put all her passion into for the past six years. The reason she wrote the thesis was for her father, who passed away because of intestinal cancer when she was young. The reason she became a doctor is so that she could devote herself to that research so that no other people would go through what her father did.

She also reveals that that's not was not her only motive, not only did he steal her thesis that she had finally completed but Oyama also said, "It's no use! No one would believe that this thesis is yours now. And with me releasing that thesis, the scientific community is more likely to pay attention to it. That would make your dead father so happy." And laughed loudly. That was when she came with this plan, since that man stepped all over her father's memories. That's why she decided to open up holes in his lungs and make him die from one of the most excruciating deaths possible. But she then said to Kogoro that he made one mistake, she actually predicted someone would order salad and ice cream, salad was sold out, but she actually had bought ice cream but it melted inside her car's heater due to her pondering about her father.</spoiler>

==== File 102 - A Death During a Live Broadcast ====
In the Nichiuri TV Production Team office Suwa receives a call from Director Kuroshima. Suwa starts to apologise about a special broadcast cancelling a movie when he recognises the voice as Matsuo's, a colleague of his. They reminisce about how they met - Matsuo imitating Kuroshima - and Suwa asks Matsuo what he wants. If it was about the decision at the meeting, the answer was still no. But no, Matsuo wanted to talk about an idea he had for a new show, and suggests that they meet up in the usual room after tonight's live show. He half-jokingly pleads for Suwa to come early when there are less people because he didn't want his idea to get stolen. He then pleads in earnest saying that it'll be the last time he asks, and then Suwa hangs up, saying that it better be. Matsuo is then revealed to be looking at a photograph of him and Suwa at an old press conference. He tosses the photo in the air and fires a gun at it.

A countdown begins for the live show. Matsuo and his assistant, Ayako Nagai, do the introduction. Kogoro is today's guest star. Ayako asks him what investigation caused him the most trouble and he answers that in truth, after each investigation, he can't resist falling asleep, so he doesn't remember a thing. Ran and Conan are in the audience. She says that's just like Kogoro while Conan thinks it's because Kogoro is sleeping. Everyone else laughs. Tonight's show has three hosts. Commercials are sent on.
During the commercial break Ayako asks Matsuo what joke they are ending the show on. She notices him groaning. He tells her he's had heatburn since morning and then wonders where Suwa is. Ayako knows Suwa usually comes to watch, but maybe he was busy. Matsuo asks an aide to find Suwa.

Ayako suggests they go for a drink after the show but Matsuo doesn't want to. He was going to be replaced but Suwa called him last night begging him to stay on. Wasn't the replacement idea was Suwa's? Matsuo says Suwa doesn't always know what he wants. Matsuo already has a new job elsewhere so he probably can't stay anyway.
Suwa is in a meeting room on the fourth floor assuring over the phone he was watching the show from a monitor. The show implies Kogoro is uneasy with firearms while revealing Matsuo is a pro at handling firearms. Suwa talks to himself, noting that TV ratings have stabilized but if Matsuo was replaced with the most beautiful TV host and the show was re-worked to appeal to a wider audience.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[[File:Shinichi and Ran get scolded by Eri.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Roughly 10 years ago.]]
After Juzo is taken away by the police, Conan refocuses on who the person Ran was meeting must be. When Ran finally makes it into the restaurant, Conan calls out Shiro on his attitude, but Ran doesn't know him and is confused by Conan's behavior. It turns out that Sonoko was the man's intended rendezvous, while Ran's meeting was with '''Eri Kisaki'''—her mother. Conan is shocked, and finds himself hiding behind Ran while they walk together because his body reflexively remembers the times Eri berated them for getting into trouble as children. Ran brings up that it has been ten years since Eri left Kogoro, and suggests she come back. Eri vehemently refuses, but it's clear she retains some feelings for Kogoro. However, upon seeing Kogoro's behavior on his recent TV show, she warns Ran off getting involved with any childhood friends and storms off, leaving Conan to glare at Kogoro's image on TV.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
When Sonoko's father uses his connections, Ran and Sonoko find themselves in a Karaoke Bar having dinner with the hottest band in the land! It seems like a dream come true until the lead singer, Tatsuya Kimura, is poisoned right in front of their eyes. The brash super-star had plenty of enemies (he constantly fought for nothing with Mari, Mieko had her love confession to him rejected, Katsumi was angry at him because he was about to go solo and that put the band's career on hold, Go was in his previous band till he left and he was very rude towards the whole band), but which of them hated him enough to commit murder? It's up to Conan to find out.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Mari Terahara'''. The potassium cyanide was not contained in the food as initially suspected but on the outer layering of the band's logo jacket. Kimura had the habit of dandily removing his jacket during performances and placing his hand at the predicted poisoned location. The poison in the food was thereby traces of the stuff that was already in the victim's hand. Conan, using Shinichi's voice for the first time while hiding away, indicts Terahara by making her perform the same gestures and daring her to take a bite out of the onigiri. Her unexplained fear of taking the bite confirms her guilt.

Mari killed Kimura, her ex-boyfriend, because he turned psychologically abusive to her after she had a nose job and had her freckles removed and he broke up with her. It turns out that not only did he like her better when she was a sweet girl next door, but that he was psychologically and emotionally broken after finding out that Mari had specifically gotten plastic surgery to look beautiful for him, which he could never forgive her and himself - he would've never asked her to change. Kimura decided to punish both of them by verbally abusing her, while he secretly wrote a love song for Mari which would have been his first solo single; however, his taunting went so far that Mari was completely embittered, her former love for him became seething hate, and then she decided get revenge by killing him. Sumii, the only person whom Kimura explained his reasons to, proves this as he shows a photo of the old band (including a pre-surgery Mari with a big nose and freckles); Kimura had written the lyrics of his new song on the back of the photo. After hearing all of that, Mari breaks down screaming and crying out to Kimura, while Mieko realizing that when Kimura turned down her love confession, he did it because Mari was his one and only love.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* This episode takes place right after [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]], with Ran bringing up Sonoko's deduction of the case. Conan is worried as his cover might be blown, only for Sonoko to accept the credit for solving the murder and claiming that Kogoro and Shinichi don't measure up to her (with the manga showing both detectives in the background). The scene as a whole was used at the end of the Mountain Villa Bandaged Murder Case episode.
** In the anime version, Sonoko brings up Tatsuya when Ran asks if she has a guy in her life, whereas the manga version has Ran asking about [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|Masaru Ohta]] (from the Mountain Villa Case), only for Sonoko to express disinterest for him as she is interested in Tatsuya.
* In the manga, Tatsuya was depicted as somewhat drunk up until his death. Immediately before his death, he coughed up blood before collapsing on to the floor.
* The anime leaves out the main theory of the crime, which is that Tatsuya committed suicide (based originally on the poison being found in the victims car and later supported by other evidence). This is what the police investigation concluded happened and what Inspector Megure was going to release as the cause of death at a press conference before receiving word of Shinichi Kudo's phone call.
* The manga reveals that Tatsuya was rude to his band because the record company forced him to pursue a solo career, so he didn't want them to miss him after he left.
* The anime ends with Ran receiving her present, whereas the manga ends with her trying to find Shinichi, while Conan is shown, nervously hiding.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Mieko Shibazaki - Amber Ling
:* Katsumi Yamada - Sledge
:* Tatsuya Kimura - Justin Moon
:* Mari Terahara - Mazy Mitchel
:* Go Sumii - Georgie

== Remastered version ==
On October 22, 2011, a remastered version of the case was aired.

== Trivia ==
* Despite his face not being shown on-screen, this marks the first time Detective Takagi is listed in the ending credits. He's the inspector that brings the box of Tatsuya's items to Inspector Megure.
* In [[Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case]], Conan thought to himself that "I asked the Inspector not to release my 'real name'", referring to this case.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Takashi Ichieda'''. Two years ago Mrs. Yone's granddaughter, Yaeko, died by drowning when she went searching for Reika and Nikaido, who were stranded on a small island in the sea. It turned out they took her swimming supplies and left her to die; Ichieda noticed the odd situation when Yaeko's body was found and asked them about it, but they denied everything and said they had not even seen Yaeko. Gotou had also asked them about Yaeko, but he didn't suspect them at all. Everyone else believed that Yaeko had simply drowned, with her grandmother even saying that she sacrificed her life to rescue Reika and Nikaido.

Ichieda, who was in love with Yaeko, kept his bad feelings to himself until Reika's 24th birthday. After isolating the group in the mansion, he first kidnapped Reika and kept her hostage in one of the bathrooms, then bound and gagged her inside a covered bath tub, getting everything ready so she would slowly drown automatically. The proof of this is Reika disappeared around 10 PM but she wasn't killed until 5 or 6 AM which means that she was left alive for 7 to 8 hours before her death. Second proof is her clothes, they couldn't possibly get that wet, no matter how much she struggled. Third proof is the duct tape and rope marks on the corpse, it is odd that she was restrained with both rope and duct tape when she had already had been restrained with rope. Ichieda switched the faucet with the shower so that he could fill the bath quietly. To prevent somebody finding the corpse in the tub, he burned out the bulbs beforehand to keep people from coming through and using the bathroom. Ichieda checked the bathtub himself and told the others that Reika was not there to fool them. He then created his alibi by staying with Kogoro during the murder. As soon as he could he confronted Nikaido, and when he admitted his share of guilt, Ichieda drowned him outside with his own hands and left his lifeless body there.

To throw people off again, Ichieda used the air conditioners and microwave to cause the lights to turn off by themselves. First, he set all the air conditioners to turn on simultaneously at a set time using their remote controls. Then, he set the microwave so that it would turn on at the same time as well. When the time came, the overuse of electricity within the mansion would would suddenly spark and would cause the breaker to overload causing the lights to go out. The proof is that the remote controls were still displaying the time that they were all set to 12:30, which is when the lights went out. Also, at the same time Conan heard the bell of the microwave. The microwaves there operate with dials so they will still work even without electricity. Another piece of evidence is when Conan touched the microwave, it was still warm. Lastly, a little while before the lights went out, Ichieda went into the kitchen with Conan and Kogoro to search for Reika. As they were leaving the kitchen he doubled back and set the timer on the microwave when no one was looking.

After turning off the lights, Ichieda broke a window in the dark and made it look like the killer ran away so that they would give chase. He pretended to get lost in the forest and then went back to the mansion and took the unguarded Ran to the kitchen and tried to drown her. He even drugged her beforehand so that she wouldn't be able to struggle. When he put the pills in, he could have turned the cup, moved the spoon, or done any number of things to identify the cup: all he had to do was avoid it. Also, it didn't matter who took the cup: It was just a coincidence that Ran was the one who took the drugged one. The attack on Ran wasn't intended to be fatal, he only needed a witness to throw suspicions off himself, by making everyone believe that the murderer was an outsider, and give fake evidence that the murderer had killed Reika in the same fashion.

Few hours later, a still restrained Reika drowned in the tub. Ichieda pulled her lifeless body out of the bathtub and left it next to said tub for everyone to find. The proof that only Ichieda could have committed the murder is the water on his undershirt. All of the suspects in fact have water on their shirts. However, the water on Goujo's sleeve is from when he washed his hands and the water on Mifune's collar is from when he washed his face. On the other hand, Ichieda's arms on his shirt had gotten soaked. This is proof that he took his jacket off first before water got on them. He took off his jacket so that it wouldn't get wet when he committed the murder. His elbows are wet because he rolled his sleeves up to take Reika out of the bathtub.

}}

Ichieda admits that he killed Reika and Nikaido and tells the others about how they murdered the sweet and gentle Yaeko, who had gone to help them but was repaid with abandonment and death. Before he murdered them he asked them to tell him the truth they both confessed to murdering Yaeko. He then proudly says that the two deserved to be murdered for what they had done... but Mrs. Yone angrily calls him a fool. She then goes to Reika's corpse and closes her eyes, saying that even when she cannot forgive the two victims for what they did to Yaeko, she belives that no one deserves to die violently because whenever that happens, someone else will always cry and grieve and no one should feel what she felt, no one.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* In the manga version, Reika announces to her father and the guests about her intention to get married to one of the suitors at the party. This scene is removed in the anime.
* Reika wears a white coat over her dress when she is about to leave the house with her father after the party had ended in the anime.
* Some of Reika's expressions and mannerisms were changed to be less malevolent, leaning more toward being childish, compared to the manga.
* In the anime, after Yone put a blanket on Ran who is sleeping on a sofa, she looks at Ran's face and is reminded of her granddaughter Yaeko.
<spoiler>
* In the anime, Ichieda doesn't drink the coffee served by Ran and Yone, as he has previously drugged one of the cups.
* In the anime, Conan states through Kogoro that Ichieda simply avoided the drugged coffee by not drinking it, compared to the manga in which he speculates that Ichieda must had marked the cup with a spoon or rotating/placing the cup in a recognizable position.
* In the anime, after Yone is angered by Ichieda's cruel and callous attitude and saddened by Reika's passing she also closes the lifeless Reika's eyes in sign of paying respect to her.</spoiler>

==== Evidence ====
* There is a working secret entrance that allows entry or exit onto the grounds without being seen by anyone else.
* The house still has running water.
* A window had been left open, with no signs of wind or rain wear.
* The house shows no overt signs of life, but the kids smell something cooking.

==== Conclusion ====
* The house is not abandoned, but rather hides the dead mansion owner's wife and son, Akio.
* '''Akio''' killed his father with a single blow to the head. Unlike many other suspects, Akio had actually intended to turn himself in as soon as he could, but his mother decided to protect him. Her "protection", however, meant locking Akio in the basement until the statute of limitations for the murder expired and he couldn't be prosecuted. He tried to convince his mother otherwise but she was so desperate to not lose her son and apparently her only living relative, that she wouldn't listen to his pleas. Eventually, as she loses it and attempts to kill the children for snooping in the now abandoned home, Akio manages to stop his mother and insists that he should atone for his crime. With Conan's help, this time he is successful, and both mother and son turn themselves in together.

==== Motive ====
* Five years ago, on a spring night, Akio killed his father in the heat of an argument over how he had flunked an important university exam, for the third time. Akio impulsively grabbed a bronze candle holder and hit his father on the head with it. He did not intend to murder him, however, and was emotionally broken when he realized what he had done.

==== Aftermath ====
Later in the morning, Genta and Mitsuhiko are found in the courtyard sleeping due to them being drugged by the mother. The four Detective Boys then receive a long scolding from their parents (and Ran) at the police station for sneaking out after dark. Sometimes after, Ayumi informs the group that she has found a new haunted house full of books that once belonged to the boy of the '''Eto''' family to investigate, much to the shock of Conan as it's his own house due to the fact Ayumi has misread the kanji "Ku" 工 in '''Kudo''' (工藤) as katakana "E" エ as in '''Eto''' (エ藤).</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
* The manga version of the story marks the debut of Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, Ayumi Yoshida, and Genta Kojima. In the anime, they appear in the first episode.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* In the English Dub, Genta brags about his intention to beat the ghost with the other Detective Boys teasing him about it, whereas in the Japanese Version the Detective Boys liken themselves as characters in an RPG game.
* Akio's name in the English Dub is Abraham.

== Trivia ==
* At the end of the episode, Mitsuhiko says that they are going to investigate Shinichi's house which he says "is the last house on the left". This could be an allusion to the 1972 horror film of the same name.

{{nihongo|'''''{{PAGENAME}}'''''|消えた死体殺人事件|Kieta Shitai Satsujin Jiken}} is the 15th episode of ''[[Detective Conan]]'' [[anime]]. In this episode, [[Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]] find a bloody corpse in the house's bathtub when trying to find a missing cat. As soon as they report to the police, the corpse has been mysteriously disappeared. It's up for Conan to find out the truth.

=== Situation ===
The Detective Boys are commissioned by a classmate to find his missing cat, Akira. When they do finally find Akira, the cat has just emerged from a house's window, covered in blood. The Detective Boys immediately investigate, and see a bloody corpse face-down in the house's bathtub.

They call the police, and [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] arrives with a squad to investigate. The elder brother, a rough and rude man, lets them into the house but then goes into a room while they search. The soft-spoken younger brother arrives soon after, but is cooperative with the police. However, despite a thorough examination of the entire house, no corpse is found. Inspector Megure believes that the Detective Boys were playing a prank and the police leave, to Conan's frustration.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* When Tomofumi arrives home, a small leaf falls out from his slipper.
* While the police are there, Tomofumi abruptly answers the phone when it does not ring audibly, only with a flashing light.
* The tree outside the room where Kazuyoshi was sleeping leads to a culvert with a ledge that one person could stand and walk on.
* After sunset, the curtains of the room with Kazoyoshi haven't been drawn, and he hasn't moved from the chair.

=== Resolution ====
With his [[Detective Boys Badge]] transmitting his deductions to the Detective Boys who are on the phone with [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], Conan explains that the corpse they saw in the bathtub was actually the body of Kazuyoshi, whom '''Tomofumi Tanaka''' murdered. Between when the kids saw the body and the police arrived, he cleaned the body and set it up in the room as if it were watching TV, then answered the door ''as'' his brother. After establishing the presence of Kazuyoshi, he went into the bedroom with corpse and climbed out into the nearby culvert using the tree, sneaking around to re-enter the house as himself. The TV that Kazuyoshi appeared to turn off at Tomofumi's request was set to turn off by timer, rather than remote, and Kazuyoshi's voice was simulated by Tomofumi's voice on the phone's answering machine, which Tomofumi dialed using the cell phone hidden in his pocket.

==== Motive ====
Kazuyoshi had been blackmailing Tomofumi to let him freeload there forever and be given more and more money whenever he wanted, or else he would reveal that Tomofumi had been illegally trading stocks. Tomofumi finally snapped at the frustration of being used by the elder brother he had once greatly admired, a writer who won the Literary Newcomer Award, and killed Kazuyoshi.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The manga version of the story takes place before [[Ayumi-chan Kidnapping Case]], and is the first story with the Detective Boys' badges. The story begins with Conan giving them to Mitsuhiko, Genta and Ayumi at school. Afterwards, they go into the P.A. Room to announce themselves to the school as the Detective Boys, only to be kicked out by a teacher, which then ends with them (except for Conan) imagining the fame that will come with their cases. The entire scene is absent from the anime.
* In the manga, after Conan knocks out Tomofumi with an iron kettle with the Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes, the kick causes him considerable pain in the foot and he jumps up screaming. Conan's pain is not depicted in the anime episode.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
[[File:Okita.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan found the criminal mastermind, Okita.]]
==== Evidence ====
* Masami had make-up on and wore more formal, adult clothing when reunited with Kenzo, despite having presented herself as a highschool student from the countryside at first.
* Every night, Kenzo would run the same taxi route over and over, even without customers, and at high speed. Also, he suddenly paid several months worth of rent to his landlady, who then told Kogoro that he did so in fresh and new cash.
* Judging from the bruises from Kenzo's neck, the killer was a large man.
* Masami's glasses were found in the crime scene.
* Because of Conan's tracking button believed to be in Masami's watch, Akira was found dead due to cyanide poisoning (Sleeping pills) in the hotel.

==== Resolution ====
The three Hirotas were the criminals involved in the '''1 Billion Yen Robbery Case'''. The route Kenzo drove at night was the practice route of the getaway. But Kenzo betrayed his partners, running away and taking the money for himself. In order to find him, his partners made '''fake identities''' - Masami and Akira. When found, Akira killed Kenzo and made it look like suicide. He broke his watch while doing so that's why Masami gave him hers. But the real mastermind of the 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case was '''Okita'''. The poison that killed Akira may have originally been intended for Masami.

==== Motive ====
Okita planned to kill the three from the very beginning. Kenzo realized this before the other two did, which is the true reason why he ran away with the money.

==== Conclusion ====
While investigating near the hotel where Akira was found dead, Conan and the others run into a pretty lady in elegant red clothes who carries several suitcases. They don't pay lots of attention to her at first, but Conan soon realises that she is '''Masami Hirota''', carrying the stolen money in said suitcases and probably about to meet the mastermind.

Masami confronts Okita and angrily asks him why did he trick her into giving Akira the poisoned drink and kill him. Okita says Akira was too dumb to handle such a large quantity of money, and after drawing his gun he adds that he will also kill Masami to silence her and take all the money. Then Conan steps in and uses his Power Shoes to kick a can into Okita's face, capturing and knocking him out. Masami asks him who he is, and Conan calmly tells her "I'm Conan Edogawa, and I'm a detective!".

</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* In the manga version of the story [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] are the masterminds of the case rather than Okita, and they end up killing Masami Hirota/Akemi Miyano who informs Conan of the organization's existence and that they dress in black. Her death is the motive of [[Shiho Miyano]]'s defection which leads to [[Ai Haibara]]'s appearance later in the series. Furthermore, Shiho makes a silhouetted appearance when Akemi is demanding for herself and her sister to be free of the organization, which is also omitted. To repair the storyline, [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case]] was written with a similar ending to the manga version.
** In 2016, the anime special [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small]] was released. It finishes with a rendition of Akemi's death that follows the manga rather than the anime.

== Trivia ==
* This episode marks the introduction of a new image for the "next episode" preview. The image features the Detective Boys looking at a painting hanging on the wall, which has the title of the next episode written on it.
* The spy's car is a gray Toyota Corolla AE100.
* Kenzo Hirota drives a white Toyota Crown taxi.
* At the end of the episode, Conan's transmitter was still on the watch that the dead guy was wearing, so Agasa probably had to make a new transmitter for future uses.
* Although the [[Black Organization]] was involved in the manga version of this episode, the anime version has Okita take over Gin and Vodka's role, and therefore cutting out the Black Organization involvement for a second time, since this anime episode did not give away that she was affiliated with them in any way, although it did give her real name.
=== Translation changes ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Masami Hirota - Michelle Hamlin/Kendra Miyano
:* Kenzo Hirota - Kent Hamlin
:* Kenzo's cats: Kai, Tei, Gou & Ou - Kent's cats: Tea, Pair, Eyes & Prose
:* Akira Hirota - Aaron Hamlin

{{nihongo|'''''{{PAGENAME}}'''''|歩美ちゃん誘拐事件|Ayumi-chan Yūkai Jiken}} is the 12th episode of ''[[Detective Conan]]'' [[anime]]. In this episode, [[Ayumi]] hides and gets stuck in a driving car's trunk while playing hide and seek, so [[Conan]], [[Mitsuhiko]] and [[Genta]] have to save her from the potential kidnappers.

<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
** Just outside the park, Conan saw two men who hurriedly left in a white car
** Inside the trunk were paper bags with lots of money inside
** Ayumi found a saw covered in a slippery fluid
** Ayumi discovered a girl's head wrapped in newspaper
** The suspects were heard talking about ransom money and killing the girl who saw their faces

==== Conclusion ====
Turns out, the kidnappers were '''stage actors for a mystery play''', and the head was a fake. Since Conan ruined the head and knocked out the other actor, the [[Detective Boys]] took part in the play so the show could go on. The three boys played the man in a brown coat: Genta, saying the lines, was at the bottom, Mitsuhiko in the middle and on Genta's shoulders, and Conan on top of them, with a hat, a mustache, and sunglasses. Ayumi played the dead girl covered in fake blood and hid inside a bag. And during the play, while acting with a dead face, she thought, "I am never playing hide and seek again!"</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The anime version includes a flashback with Agasa describing how the Detective Boys Badges work, which is absent from the manga version as they were introduced in the manga version of [[Missing Corpse Murder Case]].
* While searching for Ayumi, the boys notice [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] in a patrol car. After they find Ayumi, they see Inspector Megure pass by in the patrol car again, this time with a criminal. Both of these moments are anime-only.

== Trivia ==
* Insert song: [[Soba ni Iru Kara]], by [[↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓]].
* The two kidnappers drive a white Toyota Crown S140.
* A remastered version of the case was aired on June 27, 2009.

{{nihongo|'''''{{PAGENAME}}'''''|ピアノソナタ「月光」殺人事件|Piano Sonata "Gekkō" Satsujin Jiken}} is the 11th episode of ''[[Detective Conan]]'' [[anime]]. In this episode, [[Conan]], [[Ran]] and [[Kogoro]] goes to Tsukikage Island after receiving a message to investigate something there.

=== Situation ===
Kogoro Mouri received a strange cut-and-paste letter from a client called Keiji Asoh asking him investigate something on Tsukikage Island, in the Izu coast, which is part of the Tokyo Division, according to Megure. He then found out that the man requesting for the investigation, Keiji Asoh, has been dead for twelve years. He was a world-renowned pianist who suddenly killed his family, set his house on fire, and played Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata as his house burnt around him.

Despite thinking the letter is a poor prank, Kogoro decides to investigate anyway and finds the island is holding elections for mayor. Two years ago, a passerby heard the Moonlight Sonata playing from the community center and discovered the body of the mayor slumped over the piano. Although he died from a heart attack, the similarity to the death of Keiji Asoh caused the islanders to think the piano has been cursed.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
:'''First murder'''
::Victim: Hideo Kawashima
::Cause of death: Drowning
::Location: Piano room
::Time of death: 30 minutes – 1 hour before being found

:* The first movement of the Moonlight Sonata was played from a tape recorder.
:* There was a sea water trail from the door to Kawashima's body and he has dirt and sand on the back of his shirt.
:* Kawashima's jacket was found on the beach.
:* The doors and windows of the piano room were locked from the inside.
:* There were several minutes of silence at the beginning of the tape.
:* The Moonlight Sonata sheet music was found, but the notes in the fourth bar were "strange".
:* Conan decoded that the “strange” notes actually say: "The hellfire of hatred made you pay."

:'''Second murder'''
::Victim: Tatsuji Kuroiwa
::Cause of death: Stabbed to death
::Location: Broadcasting room
::Time of death: 5 minutes and 30 seconds before being found

[[File:MoonlightSonataCode.gif|thumb|right|200px|G A G A E E C♯ D F B♭ A E D♯ F D♯ F E A B A A C♯ B♭ B B♭ A B♭ C A "You realize it don't you? You're next." ("Wakatteru na? Tsugi ha omae no ban da.")]]
:* The second movement of the Moonlight Sonata was played.
:* Nishimoto discovered the body.
:* The tape has 5 minutes and 30 seconds lead in silence.
:* Music notes written with the victim's blood were found.
:* Conan decoded the music notes: "You realize it don't you? You're next."

:'''Third murder'''
::Victim: Ken Nishimoto
::Cause of death: Hanging
::Location: Storage room
::Time of death: 30 minutes before being found

:* The third movement of the Moonlight Sonata was set to play.
:* Sheet music that looked liked a suicide note was found under his feet. The decoded note said he regretted killing Kawashima and Kuroiwa and that he didn't want people to find out the wrongdoing they did years ago.
:* There was no chair or anything to stand on, so Nishimoto couldn't hang himself.
:* No one would bother writing a suicide note in code.

:'''Other incriminating evidence'''
:* The dusty piano in the city hall was tuned perfectly.
:* After the first murder, there was someone outside the piano room whom Conan and Kogoro failed to catch.
:* When the gang returned to the city hall after the second murder, there was someone in the piano room who jumped out the window and Murasawa was found unconscious on the floor.
:* After the third murder, Conan returned to the piano room and found a tuning hammer for the piano.
:* Under the piano was a secret drawer with cocaine in it.
:* Upon looking at the pictures of the crime scene where Kuroiwa was murdered, there was a button with its red light on near the victim's neck.
:* Conan found that Hirata has powder-like substance under his sleeves and his left hand was bandaged. He also had lots of foreign money with him.
:* Keiji Asoh left sheet music in his safe to which it read: "To my son, Seiji". Asoh had a son who became ill when he was a child and had to be hospitalized, meaning he was NOT killed in the incident that took the lives of the Asoh family.

==== Conclusion ====
The person who knocked out Murasawa in the piano room was '''Kazuaki Hirata'''. The bandage on his left hand was the result of smashing the window when he was trying to escape. He was also the one that Kogoro and Conan chased outside the piano room. The piano room was his meeting place with Kawashima when doing business: dealing drugs. He was using the piano's secret compartment as a hiding place for cocaine he got from overseas to which he exchanged later for large sums of money. The reason why he was always talking about the cursed piano was because he wanted to keep everyone in the town away from it. Murasawa saw the drugs that he had left in there earlier so he hit him. Still, he was unrelated to the murders because he wouldn't have related the piano to the crimes.

In the second murder, they found that he had been dead for only a few minutes but when Conan fell on the code of blood, it didn't smear when it takes 25-30 minutes for human blood to dry. It was just a trick that the killer used to manipulate the time of death of the victim. Upon looking at the pictures, there was a button that was lighted near Kuroiwa's neck. But after the body was moved, the light was turned off. This was actually the reverse button. While the police weren't looking, the killer turned off the light. The killer used the reverse side (the blank side that didn't have the song), which played for over 30 min and then it reversed. That was when the 5 minutes and 30 seconds of gap played before the music started.

In the third murder, the killer didn't have the time to put a chair or desk at Nishimoto's feet because he had to escape in time. The killer was probably male because the murders required a lot of physical strength.

The purpose of drowning Kawashima was to send the forensic examiner back to Tokyo, because it was impossible to do an autopsy on the island. The tape in the second murder was a setup so the killer could create an alibi.

Conan deduced that the killer was '''Narumi Asai''' and that she was, in fact, Asoh's aforementioned son, '''Seiji Asoh'''. Asai was probably the surname of the family that adopted him. After graduation, he came to the island as a female doctor. The pronunciation of his name was not written on his diploma, nor the medical license, because if they checked his history, they would have found out that he was a man: the kanji forming Asoh's name could be read as either "Seiji" (a male-only name) or "Narumi" (a female-only name): coupled with Asoh's feminine features and rather girlish voice, it let him masquerade as a female doctor rather well, plus falsifying the times of death and manipulating the crime scenes. He also stayed all night so that they'd make him last for questioning, keeping the "disguise" intact.

As for Murasawa, he was an admirer of the late Asoh and he was the one who kept the donated piano in tune just like that night.

As Conan-through-Kogoro explained all of this, suddenly the police came in and said that Seiji/Narumi had escaped. While they were looking for him, the community center building suddenly went up in flames: it turns out Seiji, who had realized that he had been found out, locked himself inside and set it on fire, intending to die like his father.

Conan, carrying Asoh's last music sheets with his message for the then-young Seiji, managed to slip in and told Seiji, who was sitting at the piano, to keep on living. Seiji confirmed that he was the young boy who escaped his family's murder, plus everything that Conan-through-Kogoro had already said (explained below in "Motive"). When Seiji was done, Conan insisted that he should escape and live; Seiji refused, however, saying that he was already too bloodstained. Then, he grabbed Conan and threw him through the window, saving his life. Afterwards, he played one last music code message in the burning flames: "Thank you, little detective".

==== Motive ====
Seiji's motive dated back when his father, the pianist Keiji Asoh, and his family was murdered. Kawashima, Nishimoto, Kuroiwa, and Kameyama used Asoh's international concerts as a front for their international drug trade. When Asoh stated that he wouldn't cooperate any longer, they got scared that their secret might be exposed, so they locked the family in their home and set it on fire, . This was all written in the sheet music that he left behind in the safe as his confession to his remaining son. Seiji was hospitalized in Tokyo at the time of the murder, and later was adopted by a friend of the Asoh family.

Seiji went back to the island, under his "Narumi" disguise, because he never believed the official "Keiji Asoh killed his family and himself" version and wanted to find out the truth. As said above, when he told Kameyama that he was Asoh's son, the late mayor was terrified and told him everything an then had a fatal heart attack. Seiji played the Moonlight Sonata that his father loved so much upon seeing the mayor dead, and ultimately that gave him the idea of taking justice in his own hands.

After Seiji's death and the end of the case, Conan and Ran talked about him. They wondered why did Seiji summon Kogoro when he knew how risky that would be for his plan, and Conan speculated that it wasn't just a challenge - that deep down, Seiji ''wanted'' Kogoro to stop him.</spoiler>

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Evidence ====
* Conan remembers the Vodka lookalike saying "I can finally have a smoke". Conan realizes this must be because the transaction the men in black had with the person in the dining car cannot stand the smell of smoke. Therefore the person with the bomb must be in a non-smoking car of the train. According to Mitsuhiko there are eight non-smoking cars on the bullet train.
* The Gin lookalike made a remark about how the person with the bomb is probably "looking out at the last scenic view" they will ever see. Conan and the Detective Boys realize the person with the briefcase must be in one of the two-story Green Cars. Mitsuhiko explains only one of the three Green Cars is non-smoking.
* Conan notes that the man in glasses with the laptop is trading stocks and has a gold Rolex watch. Conan remarks the man must really be raking in money. The man in glasses shouts at Conan that he could not possibly go anywhere on the train due to the amount of work he has.
* The woman in the Green Car has a cell phone and remarks to Conan that since the sky is clear today "you can see Mt. Fuji" from her window. The woman claims to have not visited the dining car during the trip.
* The elderly man does not seem to hear Conan's question correctly, so Conan is unclear whether the man did or did not visit the dining car.
* Although the brutish man with gold rimmed glasses doesn't answer Conan's question outright, it's clear the man visited the dining car because he wipes his glasses with one of the dining car napkins.
* When the Vodka lookalike questions his partner about the bomb being timed, the Gin lookalike replies that although the bomb isn't on a timer, the bomb will definitely go off when the person with the briefcase unknowingly triggers the detonation button. Conan realizes this means the explosion will be set off by the passenger's "reaction to something".

==== Conclusion ====
After ruling out the brutish man Conan knows went to the dining car, the briefcase was full of underwear, Conan realizes one of the passengers he spoke to said something strange.

The '''woman''' claims to have had a great view of Mt. Fuji earlier in the train ride, but it would be impossible to see Mt. Fuji from her window in the Green Car. She must have been in the dining car at the time and mistook her view from the dining car for the one back in her Green Car seat.

The woman lied about going to the dining car in order to cover up the transaction she had with the men in black.

Conan also realizes that the detonation button the Gin lookalike referred to is when the woman dials a specific telephone number on her cell phone.

The woman manages to dial the number on her cell phone at 3:10 PM, but thankfully Conan manages to use the Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes to kick the briefcase out of the train just before it exploded.

==== Motive ====
The woman's motive for making a deal with the men in black was to gain "inside information on the trading market" in exchange for 100 million yen.

The men in black's motive for planting the bomb of course was to kill off the woman and cover their tracks while getting away with a hefty amount of money.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Conan meets Gin and Vodka.]]
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* In the manga, the two men in black are in fact [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]]. It is here that Conan first learns of their codenames. The line about their [[The Boss|mastermind]] is omitted.
* Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko didn't appear in the manga version of the story. Thus, it's Ran who deposits the gum that Conan uses.
* The bullet train was stopped under the Kyoto police jurisdiction, but the anime version replaced them with [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and his men, who were too far away.
* The manga version ends with Conan reflecting on the knowledge he learned about the two men in black. Ran's questioning of his true identity doesn't occur here, but in [[The Coded Map of the City Case]], which follows the story in the manga rather than preceding it.

== Trivia ==
* This train is a [[Wikipedia: 100 Series Shinkansen|100 series (100系, Hyaku-kei) Shinkansen]].
* This episode marks canon day 9 of Shinichi's life as Conan.
* Although the Black Organization was involved in the manga version of this episode, the anime version has Ueda and Shimoda take over Gin and Vodka's role, and therefore cutting out the Black Organization involvement.
* A remastered version of this case was aired on December 3, 2016.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Six months ago, the Fox known as the best assassin in the country had killed a president of a major company. However this assassination took place while his target was driving as a result, his car swerved into the path of a school bus carrying elementary school children. This caused a collision, that claimed the life of the young 5 year old Chisato Ushio, due to this unintended casualty The Fox went into hiding.

In the present, Kogoro is hired to capture the Fox, the client being Ushio Bunzo, a millionaire who once hired the Fox to kill him since he was supposedly about to die. But he found out from his doctor that he would live to see another day, as a result he wanted to back off the deal but he had no way of contacting the Fox, instead he wants to have the Fox captured.

Bunzo asks Kogoro to follow him alongside Ran and Conan in a hiking trip that the Fox is supposed to attend as well. Kogoro is about to decline when suddenly Conan notices a glint that is coming a sniper (apparently The Fox) who is aiming at them from a nearby rooftop. Conan manages to push him out of the way and save him, after firing wildly into the office the shooter leaves. Kogoro is relieved but at the same time distressed about his windows, Bunzo offers to pay him for damages as long as he helps him and he accepts.

After arriving at the entrance of the hiking trail, Kogoro along with Conan and Ran act like they are meeting Bunzo for the first time while meeting the others hikers who are: Wataru Takanashi, Shingo Nose, Kyoko Saegusa, Akira Kawabe and their guide Kenichi Hirai. They keep a close eye on these people as they believe one of them is the infamous Fox.

They then follow their guide Hirai through the hiking trail, along the way Bunzo nearly falls down a deep ravine after almost tripping off a cliff. Bunzo believes that Hirai tried to kill him but quickly calms down after Kogoro talks to him. Afterwards they decide to take a break and rest before they start to hike again, while Hirai leaves to check out their current location.

Ran and Conan discuss who The Fox could be as there are many suspicious individuals among them. Suddenly they hear a scream and check to see where it came from, they find Wataru Takanashi who directs them towards Hirai's body who apparently fell off the cliff. When Kogoro accuses Takanashi of murdering Hirai he suddenly panics and asks to be let go, leaving the others stunned and confused.

Conan and Kogoro climb down and examine Hirai's body where they find that he landed on the back of his head on a rock. However Conan notices that Hirai has a gash on his cheek and a knife nearby with some blood on it. Meaning someone threw this knife at him and although Hirai managed to barely dodge it while sustaining a cut on his face, he lost his balance and fell to his death. Conan and Kogoro both wonder if the killer who they believe to be The Fox is among them.

Afterwards they make it to a cabin and meet the caretaker there, whose name is Juukichi Iwata an elderly man that startles them. He invites them in and prepares food for them, and learns from them that one of their members was killed and he comments that it was most likely no accident. Later the group discuss who the murderer could be and Takanashi is labeled the criminal. He then suddenly pulls out his large hunting knife and throws it near one of the members of the group then re-holsters it.

During this exchange Bunzo accidentally reveals Kogoro real name and identity to the other members. One of them recognizes Kogoro as the famous Sleeping Kogoro which startles the couple Akira and Kyoko, who Conan deems suspicious.

While they are sleeping an unknown person approaches Kogoro and plunges their knife into the pillow which startles Kogoro enough to wake him up. Bunzo, Kogoro, and Conan give chase after believing that Takanashi is the culprit. They track him down after hearing him screaming, and learn that he is actually Claustrophobic explaining his strange demeanor and attitude. While traveling back to the cabin Takanashi explains why he became claustrophobic in the first place.

When they are near the cabin, they suddenly hear Ran screaming, and fearing the worst rush towards the cabin.

==== Part 2 ====
The others rush to the cabin and are relieved to see Ran unharmed, she apologizes saying that there is trouble and directs them toward Kyoko Saegusa who is dead with a knife in her back. Akira Kawabe is mourning her death apologizing for not being able to protect her. Shingo Nose asks what is going on, as it is obvious that Kogoro knows more then he’s letting on.

Kogoro decides to tell them the truth, he reveals that he came to the hiking trip to hunt the infamous assassin The Fox. Although Bunzo chastises Kogoro for revealing the truth, he justifies this saying that two of their members are dead enough is enough. However as they are talking Shingo reveals himself to be right handed just like The Fox. Kogoro believes and deduces that Shingo is The Fox but he laughs this off saying that he is wrong.

But Kogoro doesn't believe him stating that he is the only one capable and he is also right handed just like The Fox. Bunzo believing this grabs Shingo stating that he has business with him. Conan investigates and figures out that the one who stabbed Kyoko was her lover Akira Kawabe, as they were hugging he looped one of his arms around her back and stabbed her with a knife. Ran demonstrates this together with Conan.

Conan also finds Kyoko's backpack filled with bundles of cash, with some of them stained with blood. Just then Takanashi tells them that two of their members are missing: the caretaker Junnichi and Akira. A landslide occurs and they hear screaming nearby, so Conan, Ran, and Kogoro go to check it out. They find Akira and help him to safety, he tells them that he took the caretaker hostage but he ran off as soon as the landslide occurred.

Conan and the others return back to the cabin and learn that Bunzo left to help as well but hasn't returned. Kogoro is confident believing they have captured The Fox who he believes is Akira Kawabe, however he denies this saying that he hasn’t killed anyone. But Conan looks through Akira's bag and finds more bundles of cash with blood on them, Kogoro tries to get Akira to tell them where that bloody money came from but he remains silent.

Just then Takanashi tells them that he has managed to fix the radio and as a result the following news report airs: "The police are still searching for the suspects who have killed and robbed a rich man in his home, the suspects are said to be a man and woman in hiking clothes". As they listen Kogoro notices Akira panicking and puts two and two together realizing that Akira and Kyoko are the robbery-murderers on the run.

Akira seeing that he has been cornered admits being one of two suspects the police are looking for in the robbery-murder case. He also admits to killing Kyoko after learning that Kogoro was a famous detective and believing he was looking for them. Kyoko had wanted them to turn themselves in having enough of being a fugitive, however Akira refused saying they still had a chance to escape.

But Kyoko still insisted on turning themselves in, Akira pretending to agree hugged Kyoko and then stabbed her in the back just the way Conan had deduced. Akira said it was Kogoro's fault for Kyoko having to die, because he had hid the true reason for him being there scaring them unnecessarily. The group then sees that the caretaker has a phone and fax with him and it uses a landline meaning they have a chance of calling for help.

But when Kogoro tries to use the phone, he hears no dial tone. Conan wondering why suddenly sees the landline cable has been severed via a knife. Conan then deduces that the caretaker Iwata is in fact The Fox, the assassin they came for. Conan believes that the fake caretaker also killed their guide because he could've figured out that he was a fake, as he and the real caretaker have been acquaintances for quite some time.

Conan also realizes that Bunzo is after The Fox because of his own vendetta and goes to find him.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The Fox was responsible for Hirai's death and the one who was responsible for Saegusa's death was '''Akira Kawabe'''. However, the whole trip was a gambit from Bunzo, who wanted to ''kill the Fox with his own hands''. He never was ill or willing to die: it was all feigned to get close to the Fox and murder him in retaliation for having accidentally caused the death of his beloved daughter Chisato, a girl around Conan's (physical) age. Two years ago, during one of his assassinations, his target's car crashed into a school bus and she was the only fatal victim.

The Fox was disguised as '''Juukichi Iwata''', the cottage caretaker, and Hirai was killed because he regularly traversed and knew the real Iwata, so he was a potential spanner in the Fox's plans. At the same time, Saegusa's death was a completely unrelated incident; Kawabe killed her to silence her after they both committed a robbery-murder.

Bunzo figured out that Iwata was The Fox, after witnessing Iwata pushing Akira down the cliff during the landslide and running off despite the fact that he was a old man. This made Bunzo realize who his adversary was and that he had to kill him. Bunzo also reveals that the sniper who fired into Kogoro's office was in fact a friend of his who owed him a favor, he had asked his friend to shoot into the office to scare Kogoro into helping him.

Bunzo manages to confront "Iwata" aka the Fox, furiously calling him out for Chisato's death. Conan stops Bunzo by showing him the picture of Chisato that he kept in his wallet and begging him to not taint his hands, seeing this and remembering his daughter he decides to drop the gun. Which is then picked up by The Fox who tries to kill them, but Conan kicks the gun out of his hands via his super kick shoes.

The Fox tries to flee but is intercepted by Kogoro who judo throws him, in the process The Fox is revealed to have been wearing a disguise and was actually a lot younger then he appeared to be.

The Fox, Bunzo, and Akira are arrested, but before leaving Bunzo thanks Conan for stopping him and leaves with a smile.</spoiler>

{{nihongo|'''''{{PAGENAME}}'''''|{{ruby|闇の男爵|ナイトバロン}}殺人事件|Naito Baron Satsujin Jiken}} is the 68th, 69th, and 70th episode of the ''[[Detective Conan]]'' [[anime]]. The first three-episode case of the series, it follows [[Conan]], [[Ran]] and [[Kogoro]] to the idyllic beach resort of Izu, having received hotel tickets from [[Hiroshi Agasa|professor Agasa]]. However, the trip quickly turns into an open-air mystery, as the tickets were only half-paid for, and the payout to the remaining part is only received if one solves a mystery tour organized by a mysterious person nicknamed the "[[Night Baron]]", a costumed thief turned murderer from [[Yusaku Kudo]]'s best selling novel series. As Conan nears the truth, he is sabotaged by Night Baron. Later, one of the tour participants is killed while wearing the Night Baron costume. While everyone suspects it to be an accident, Conan knows there is more to it, and that Night Baron is not just a reference to the novel character. Adapted from [[volume 8]] by [[Masato Sato]], it is animated by [[Keiko Sasaki]], [[Akio Kawamura]] and [[Izumi Shimura]], who would later become veterans of the animation team. The plot is praised for its well-thought-out tricks and for its traditional murder-mystery-styled investigation, and cements itself as one of the masterpieces of [[Gosho Aoyama]]'s early work.

==== The Case ====
[[File:EP68-hotel.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Izu Princess Hotel]]
At a beach in [[wikipedia:Izu Peninsula|Izu]], Conan mentally grumbles about being stuck outside of [[Tokyo]] when he should be looking for Gin and Vodka until Ran, wearing a showy swimsuit, convinces him to come swimming with her. However, when they check into their hotel, the reservations Agasa turned over to them has a catch. It is only half paid for. Agasa signed up for a "mystery tour". If Conan can figure out who of the ten guests in the tour is the sponsor, the other half of the reservation will be covered and he will also receive a certain computer program. Before Conan can remember what Agasa said was the sponsor's name, Kogoro is asked by another hotel patron if he is the "Night Baron", a character from Yusaku Kudo's novels. Kogoro reacts with confusion, and the man records the reaction as part of his dataset for determining who is the Night Baron, the alias of the tour's sponsor.

The man is Shiro Konno, a bank employee. His methods are derided by Tokio Ebara, a slightly drunk computer programmer who is another participant. Fellow participant Genichirou Kaneshiro, a computer company CEO, defends the method, backed by his butler, Shizue Hayashi. He defends his own slow response to Konno's question as having poor eyesight and did not know the question was at him. Konno is satisfied with his data, but Hideko Kamijo, another computer company CEO, turns his question back on himself. Kogoro is still confused by the conversation and who the "Night Baron" is. Though Ran explains who the character is, Kogoro remains uninterested and returns to the hotel room. Conan realizes that two people from the group of ten are missing at the same time Ebara tries to grope and flirt with Ran. Before Ran can defend herself, another man stops Ebara. She recognizes him as Satoru Maeda, the Japanese karate champion who inspired Ran to start karate in the first place six years ago.

[[File:Ep68-2.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan senses a mysterious presence spying on him.]]

Ran's minor fangirling is interrupted by the arrival of Maeda's fiancée, Akiko Sayama, a high school math teacher who responds coldly to Ran's admiration. Hideko mentions her surprise that Ran and Conan's group are different from expected. Ran explains they came in Agasa's place, and that Kogoro is a detective, which shocks all present. Afterwards, the group disperses, but Conan feels the gaze of someone watching him intently, though he cannot pinpoint the source. In the hotel room, Conan explains the terms of the mystery tour, which Kogoro is determined he can solve. He leaves to investigate, but Conan ponders at the extreme level of reaction from people involved in what should be simply a game-puzzle. Ran also leaves the hotel room, letting Conan stand on the outside balcony and wonder what Agasa meant when he said the other prize was a computer program that Conan would not find very useful. Conan plans to call Agasa after dinner, but suddenly the room door opens behind Conan. It is the Night Baron himself, and before Conan can react, he throws Conan over the balcony.

Luckily, Conan falls straight into the hotel pool below. When he races back to the balcony, the Night Baron is gone, but Conan cannot see any sort of clue toward the group sponsor's identity from an action like that. Conan is also concerned that the program prize might be the true aim of the participants, but Agasa can only remember that the program is shrouded in secrecy and might be a virus. Before Conan can ask more, Ran interrupts the phone call and asks how Conan got soaked. Conan lies that he slipped and fell so that Ran will not insist they leave the hotel until he can figure out the Night Baron's identity.

Later at dinner, Ran and Conan find Kogoro already sitting with Maeda and Akiko. Ran warns Akiko about Ebara, who is watching them with a perverted grin. Over dinner, Akiko reveals that she loves both Yusaku and the Night Baron, even cutting her hair to match the Baron's. Hideko walks by in a sexy dress and mentions that Akiko is not the only one to know about the Night Baron. Ran and Akiko get angry that Kogoro and Maeda stare at Hideko walking away, while Conan notices that Ebara completely ignores the woman. Conan also notices Kaneshiro alone at a table, and asks if Kaneshiro is after the computer virus and how he knows so much about it. Kaneshiro answers that anyone familiar with computers knows about a perfectly destructive, elusive virus, also named Night Baron. Kaneshiro seems to associate the Night Baron with his son, who died four years ago. Shizue's arrival prevents any more questions, but after Conan leaves Kaneshiro tells Shizue they must be careful because of Conan's suspicions.

[[File:EP68-KK2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hideko Kamijo tricks an unsuspecting Kogoro.]]

On his way back, Conan overhears Konno, on the phone, say that Ebara is a particular hacker. However, Conan cannot learn anything else. Back at the tables, Conan realizes Ebara is gone. A waitress asks Conan to return the necktie Ebara had tied around his forehead while drinking. Before Conan can do more than take the tie, Ran remonstrates Conan for wandering off and drags him back to their room. Surprisingly, Kogoro is not in their room, but Maeda and Akiko are down the hall. Akiko refuses to let Maeda in for staring at the waitress during dinner. He decides to wait in the top floor lounge until she calms down, and invites Ran to come along. Conan follows along and gets between Ran and Maeda when he tries to flirt a little. Ran asks how Maeda and Akiko met. Maeda was friends with Akiko's older brother, who died three years ago.

Downstairs in the hotel bar, Hideko attempts to convince Kogoro to share who the Night Baron's identity is, first by flirting and then by spiking his drink. Kogoro does not notice. After a while, Maeda decides to head back to Akiko and comments that Conan is like Ran's "little bodyguard". Conan asks if Maeda knows what a virus is, but Maeda only thinks it relates to having a cold rather than computers. Conan wonders why a virus that seems capable of stealing money from banks and large companies, among other things, would be promised by the sponsor to gather these participants. As he does, outside the hotel, someone dressed as Night Baron falls from somewhere high up in the hotel. The unlucky victim is impaled on a bronze statue in the dining courtyard.

==== The Suspicion ====
Conan and Ran hear about the death of someone "in a mask" and go to look. Conan slips through the police barrier only to be stopped by detective Yokomizo, who was recently transferred from [[Setting/Prefectures of Japan#Saitama|Saitama Prefecture]] to [[Setting/Prefectures of Japan#Shizuoka|Shizuoka Prefecture]]. While Yokomizo explains this to Ran, Conan slides the Night Baron mask off to reveal Tokio Ebara. Ran recognizes him and explains the mystery tour to Yokomizo while Conan discovers Ebara only has one glove on, and his costume's necktie tied backwards. Yokomizo assumes Ebara was the sponsor but wonders whether the death is a suicide or an accident and asks where Kogoro is. Hideko tells them he is still in the bar, but stays to look at the body. Conan realizes that behind her sunglasses, she is crying.

[[File:EP69-Yokomizo.jpg|thumb|200px|Sango Yokomizo enters the scene.]]

In the bar, Ran wakes Kogoro up and they all go to Ebara's room 2101. The anti-theft lock is in place from the inside and they could only enter the room after another officer cuts it with a handsaw. Ebara's clothes from earlier in the evening and his room key are on the floor just inside. The sliding door to the balcony is open, and a glove is stuck at the base of the railing. Kogoro assumes Ebara died accidentally as he was trying to scare the occupants of the room below, but Conan points out that on the 21st floor, Ebara would probably have used rope, and needed his room key to get back in. Kogoro smacks Conan in annoyance, causing Conan's fountain pen to fall to the ground below, and leaves with Yokomizo to examine the body.

On the ground, Conan tries to find his pen around the statue but is unsuccessful. The other tour participants gather around to learn what happened. Kaneshiro calls it a poor story for the Night Baron to die, and it ends the game. Conan gives him a suspicious look, and abruptly calls attention to the backwards necktie. Kogoro thinks it could be a habit, but Conan produces Ebara's other necktie which was given to him earlier, showing it to be tied normally. The belt is also backwards, leading Kogoro and Yokomizo to conclude that Ebara was murdered by one of the rest of the group. They start the process to question the others for their alibis.

Ran and Conan provide Maeda's alibi. Hideko reminds Kogoro she was with him, but Conan points out Kogoro was drunk. Kaneshiro and Shizue claim they were in the restaurant together, but with the chaos of the strange death no one may remember them. Konno claims he was reading emails and tells them to check the hotel's internet access logs, but he does not have an alibi that can be corroborated by someone else. Akiko was watching a movie on TV, where there was [[The Time-Bombed Skyscraper|a bomb on a skyscraper]], until Maeda returned and so has no alibi either. Meanwhile, in the room with Ebara's body, someone attacks the police officer on guard. After questioning, Akiko returns with Ran and Conan to their floor and complains that Kogoro and Yokomizo probably suspect her. While Conan ponders the overall lack of solid alibis and the unknown intent of the killer, Akiko tells Ran that she called the front desk for a wakeup call but did not think it was important enough to mention. Ran says Akiko should be in the clear, but just as the elevator door opens, the Night Baron reappears, bloody mask and all, standing just outside.

After an initial reaction of shock, Ran immediately attacks the Night Baron with powerful karate kicks, but the Night Baron is somehow able to dodge the kicks and escape. Conan tries to get her to chase, but Ran and Akiko are both stunned into immobility until it is too late. They go to tell Kogoro what happened, and also learn that the costume was stolen earlier from Ebara's body but has now (hat, mask, wig, and cape) suddenly appeared in the pool. Conan wonders if this appearance was unplanned while the police question everyone again and learn that everyone was staying in their room as instructed, so no one has an alibi. Even Maeda is unconfirmed, since they came straight back down without going to Akiko and Maeda's room 1901. The rooms are searched, starting with theirs. Conan notes from the balcony that they are a bit below and to the right of Ebara's room. He notes the position, annoyed that he lost his high-quality fountain pen, while inside Yokomizo finds some sleeping pills belonging to Akiko but nothing suspicious.

[[File:EP69-KSC.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan probes Kaneshiro in his room.]]

In Kaneshiro and Shizue's room 2001, Conan sees that Ebara's room was directly above, but it's difficult to make notes with all the wind rushing by. Kogoro is annoyed by Conan's presence until Conan says he is studying Kogoro's detective skills. Kaneshiro mentions that Konno has reasons to want the virus after having tampered with computers at his own bank. However, in his own room 2002, Konno says Kaneshiro hates the Night Baron because his son died as a result of "a virus". Konno's room was closest to Ebara's, but impossible to reach from Ebara's balcony. Kanno also says that Hideko was Ebara's wife, which she reluctantly confirms in her room 2102 but that she divorced him after she discovered he was a computer hacker. She also mentioned that Akiko's older brother used to have a small software company. Everyone has a motive.

Conan notices pills just like Akiko's. Hideko gets flustered when he asks about them, and says that they are cold pills. Conan does not get the chance to check her window, but she is directly above Konno, leaving Kaneshiro and Shizue's room as the only room reachable from Ebara's balcony. As he consults his sketch-map, he passes two officers looking at the remains of the anti-theft lock and finds scotch tape stuck to the tip, a shocking revelation.

==== The Resolution ====
In their hotel room, Ran sits miserably on the bed with the knowledge that only a certain person could have blocked her kick the way Night Baron did. Unsure what to do with the knowledge, she wishes for [[Shinichi]] to tell her what to do. A knock on the door interrupts her; she opens the door as far as the anti-theft lock allows to find Conan, who declares his experiment successful because she did not close the lock herself. He notices her face and asks if she was crying, but she passes it off as yawning and Conan runs off again. He ends up in the same elevator as the two policemen, and as he goes through the suspects list he overhears that the officer who was guarding Ebara's body and was later knocked out was himself a strong practitioner of karate. Like Ran earlier, Conan suddenly wonders if the identity of Night Baron may in fact be that of karate champion Satoru Maeda. Ran however confirms that Maeda has a perfect alibi because he was giving autographs to his fans, so Conan dismisses him as a killer and still wonders who did it. Talking to one of the hotel employees, Conan learns that the wind that blows in this time of the year is a famous one named "Himekaze" aka "Princess Wind", and it blows in a very specific direction. Thanks to that, he finally figures out who the killer is.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
==== Summary ====
Ebara's killer is revealed to be '''Akiko Sayama'''. Her motive was to avenge the suicide of her beloved older brother from three years ago. Ebara had hacked into her brother's company's records and stolen the program into which he'd invested every penny of his company, driving him to leap from a building to his death. To get revenge, Akiko organized the contest and lured Ebara into participating by pretending to have the legendary Night Baron virus.

Additionally, she disguised herself as the Night Baron for two reasons. She attacked Conan with the intention of scaring Kogoro out of the tour before the murder occurred to prevent his involvement in the investigation, knowing he was a detective. Akiko also planned to justify Ebara's fall in the costume by tricking the other participants and police into thinking that Ebara was the contest sponsor and died by mishap while trying to cause trouble as the Night Baron.

Satoru Maeda, Akiko's boyfriend, realized Akiko was the murderer, stole the Night Baron disguise from the police, and appeared in front of Ran and Akiko in order to give Akiko an alibi and take blame for her if the police discovered her trick.

==== Timeline ====
After dinner, Akiko called Ebara up to her room, implying that she would give him the Night Baron virus. Once he arrived, she drugged him to make him fall asleep, went to his room to plant the glove Kogoro found stuck to the balcony and create a room locked from the inside, and then put the rest of the Night Baron outfit on him, minus the unnecessary wig, before she threw him off the building. While landing on the statue was a fluke, having Ebara's body land in the area beneath his room's balcony was her goal. In order to conceal the fact that Ebara was in her room, she dropped his body out the window closest to his balcony, which happened to be sheltered from the "Princess Wind" that was blowing outside. This way, it seems like Ebara locked himself in his room, changed into the costume, and attempted to descend into the room below, occupied by Genichirou and Shizue, in order to cause more mischief, only to slip and fall to his death.

[[File:EP70-puppets.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Exposing the trick.]]

However, Akiko's plan backfired. She failed to factor in the force of the "Princess Wind" that was blowing at the time of the murder and continues to blow similarly all the time. Conan, as Sleeping Kogoro, had the police drop several rolled futons from each suspect's room, each futon carrying weights to give them approximately the same weight as a person and a sheet tied around them to act like Night Baron's cape, as well as the number of the room they were dropped from written on them for identification. Thanks to the force of the "Princess Wind" and the cape catching that wind, none of the futons landed beneath any of their respective balconies. In other words, if Ebara had fallen from his own balcony, the wind would have blown him ''to the right of the statue'' rather than on top of it. The only way to make Ebara's body land beneath his own balcony in spite of the wind was, as demonstrated by Conan and the police, to drop his body in an area of the hotel that would shield it from the wind, an area that is only accessible from a room below the 20th floor of the hotel. With the suspect list in mind, Ebara could only have fallen from room 1901, Akiko and Maeda's room.

The Night Baron that appeared before Akiko, Ran, and Conan, however, was '''Satoru Maeda''', who had no connection to the murder. After noticing a few anomalies about Ebara's body, he began to suspect Akiko and went through her luggage. He found the Night Baron wig in her suitcase. She had originally intended to include it with the rest of the costume she placed on Ebara, but she didn't need it since Ebara's hair already looked the part. With proof in hand, he realized his fiancée's plans and made his own plan to divert attention away from her so she would not go to jail. The first part was to not reveal the alibi that he ''did'' have, as to not create inconsistencies within any possible confession he may have to make. The second was to steal the costume and appear in front of Akiko and someone else, creating a phony alibi for Akiko; stealing the costume proves there is only one costume, and only one costume would lead people to believe there is only one Night Baron, who could not be Akiko.

[[File:EP70-Blinded.jpg|thumb|200px|Genichirou Kaneshiro is not blind!?]]

After Akiko is accused, Maeda insists that he is the real killer, but Ran had tracked down his alibi to clear his name, and Conan via Kogoro presents the phone call Akiko made to the front desk from her room to prove she was at the scene of the crime when Ebara was thrown to his death. Maeda is also convicted, but for interfering with the investigation and the offenses that came with it, and is likely to get a lighter sentence due to the circumstances of his crimes and his own good behavior beforehand. Before being taken away, Akiko bitterly tells Maeda to forget about her since she is not a good woman. He promises to wait for her release, however, and despite trying to put on a mask of stoicism, she cannot help crying as she is taken away.

==== Aftermath ====
Hideko Kamijo, Ebara's ex-wife, entered the contest because she wanted to make an antivirus for the Night Baron virus. Incidentally, Ebara sold Akiko's brother's program to Kamijo, but she realized that it was a stolen program and stopped its sale. Genichirou Kaneshiro wanted the virus in order to punish the creator for ruining his high school girl dating simulator four years ago, while simultaneously revealing that he was not blind. Shiro Konno's reason for wanting the virus is unconfirmed, but Kamijo suggested earlier that he had nefarious purposes. Genichirou seemed to concur with Kamijo's analysis, though his agreement came after Konno began sweating bullets over Kamijo's assertion. The only reason Kamijo drugged Kogoro's drink was to take a look at Kogoro's notes and figure out the solution to the tour. Ran tells Kamijo that she ended up following Shinichi's advice to find Maeda's alibi.</spoiler>

== Analysis ==
The Night Baron Murder Case is one of the iconic earlier cases from Detective Conan and is known for its skillfully written investigation part and the storytelling behind the Night Baron virus. Even though the sole victim is Tokio Ebara, the whole case spans six chapters (three episodes) in order to show Conan trying to recreate the trick by himself and following leads by listening to conversations. The investigation part was a key marker of Gosho's early storytelling. Another addition was the involvement of Ran Mouri, who starts her own investigation after the case gets personal. Rare are the occasions she is seen doing detective work and this case is a prime example of what she can be capable of, when relying on Shinichi. The case can be criticized by not having involved any of Shinichi's parents, including Yusaku Kudo, who wrote Night Baron, and for Kogoro's role, reduced to a running gag of him not being able to follow the case.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Shiro Konno - Mark McKean
:* Tokio Ebara - Romero Rojas
:* Genichirou Kaneshiro - Winston Cadbury
:* Shizue Hayashi - Clarissa Bunn
:* Hideko Kamijo - Heidi Camino
:* Satoru Maeda - Cliff Reed
:* Akiko Sayama - Audra Kelly
:* Satomi (Shiro's mother) - Naomi (Mark's mother)
:* Izu Princess Hotel Private Beach - St. Anne Island
* In the Venus Arabic dub, the Night Baron is called "رجل الظل" (meaning "The Shadow Man").

== Trivia ==
* This case takes place at least a month after [[Tenkaichi Night Festival Murder Case]], seeing how Yokomizo transferred to Shizuoka from Saitama the previous month.
* The Night Baron virus was mentioned in this episode, but it was not actually shown until [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case]].

== Remastered version ==
A remastered version of the entire case was aired over the span of August 15, 22, and 29, 2009. Instead of editing the episodes and combining them into an hour, all three standalone episodes were remastered.

{{nihongo|'''Juzo Megure'''|目暮十三|Megure Jūzō}} (also known as '''Joseph Meguire''' in the Funimation dub), commonly referred to as '''Inspector Megure''', is a Police Inspector (Rank 6) in Division 1 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department<ref name=PoliceRanks>http://forums.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=6114.0</ref> in the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Shortly after Megure had come to the police force, he was involved in a case in which he would meet his future wife, [[Midori Megure|Midori]]. As a result of the case, he has taken to wearing a hat in public in order to hide a scar which he gained and his own self-consciousness about how he came to his marriage.<ref>Manga Chapter 286: An Unexpected Motive</ref> Megure was also a good friend of star detective story novelist [[Yusaku Kudo]], and would in the past consult him about one case or another. On many such occasions, Yusaku would take his son [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] with him, who would pick up his father's investigative skills and eventually become a detective in his own right.<ref>Manga Chapter 204: The Initial Call</ref>

Megure is almost always there on the scene when a murder occurs, always interviewing the suspects, and acting as the commanding officer of the group of police he brings along with him, among them [[Wataru Takagi]], [[Miwako Sato]], [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], and [[Kazunobu Chiba]]. Megure and [[Kogoro Mouri]] were former co-officers in the district.<ref>Manga Chapters 570-573: Shinichi's Childhood Adventure</ref>

== Personality ==
Megure is a capable veteran officer who cares much for his underlings, but he is prone to occasional shouting fits whenever something does not go right or when his temper gets the better of him. He also has little patience for fools, but tends to be a bit too conservative, limiting his ability for flexible thinking.

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] solved their first mutual case for him, he has regularly consulted him in difficult cases and considered him a great help.<ref>Manga Chapter 207: Hidden Within The Depth Of The Heart</ref> In stark contrast to this, he tends not to think much of [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]], usually thinking of them as a nuisance until they solve the ongoing case for him. Likewise, from their common police days, he has no high regard for [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], and he thinks that he may actually be under some kind of jinx, since wherever Kogoro<ref>Episode 316</ref> shows up, there is always some murder case nearby (a fact which actually conforms to Conan, which in later cases<ref>Chapter 655</ref><ref>Chapter 919</ref> he seems to have realised).

In some anime originals, Megure has the habit of trying to tell the culprit about the morals of doing wrong, which he rarely does in the manga series. Megure also likes to look good in front of TV and interviewing which he makes himself look neat. He is not really able at talking English, for example instead of policeman he said poriceman wrongly, and has a hard time using computers and any modern technological device.

Megure has a strong sense of justice and a strong tolerance for pain like when been hit with a iron club on head and been stabbed in stomach with knife.

When suspects yell, Megure mostly keeps a doesn't care attitude and doesn't show reaction.

== Plot overview ==
Megure appears in a majority of the episodes. He is always involved in questioning suspects, although his deductive powers are not as well-developed as [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] or [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]].

== Non-canon plot overview ==

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Midori Megure ====
[[Midori Megure|Midori]] is Megure's wife. During a case a long time ago, she insisted on being a decoy for a serial killer. This is explained in episode 217-218. Juzo jumped in front of the car to save her. While she was hit, he only hit his head. This is explained why he never takes off his hat, which is to hide the scar. She survived and later they were married. She would always make a bento lunchbox for him.

==== Yusaku Kudo ====
Megure is on very friendly terms with [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and respects his deductive powers, so much so that he sometimes looks to him for guidance on tough cases.

==== Shinichi Kudo ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]] is respected and seen as a helpful guide on cases by Megure. Their working relationship began with [[The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case|Shinichi's first solo case aboard an airplane]]. Shinichi's habit of helping the police likely comes from his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]], whom Megure also respects. Megure often comments how cases would be much easier if "Kudo-kun" was still around. Conan often pretends that Shinichi tells him the truth to cases by phone so that Megure is more accepting of Conan's deductions.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP448 3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Juzo and Edogawa.]]
Megure tends to treat Conan as a nuisance, and does not think much of him. Unlike Takagi and Sato, he does not notice as much as others the tips and hints Conan drops regularly.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
In episode 218, Juzo shielded Sonoko from a serial killer. The serial killer was going to kill Sonoko with a iron club until Juzo shielded her at last second. The killer was arrested and Juzo went to the hospital. Sonoko, Ran, Conan, Kogoro and the Superintendent went to visit him.

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:EP588 3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megure and Kogoro.]]
[[Kogoro Mouri]] and Megure used to work together in the past before Kogoro left the police force. Megure found Kogoro's work behavior and poor deductions irritating. Now that Kogoro has become the "Sleeping Kogoro", Megure's respect for him has increased somewhat. It is a running gag that Megure refers to Kogoro as a shinigami or a 'death-god', because of the sheer number of murder cases that Kogoro coincidentally has come by. Now whenever Kogoro and Megure work together, the inspector always impatiently awaits [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|Kogoro's characteristic "Hynaaa~" sound and dance]] that marks the beginning of the [[Conan Edogawa|sleeping detective]]'s deduction.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Wataru Takagi and Ninzaburo Shiratori ====
Megure and [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] usually work together on criminal cases. [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], though an Inspector himself, is also frequently seen conducting investigations with Megure. Both policemen share cordial relationships with Megure and treat him with respect. He can be strict with them, but he also shows concern for them, if they are put in danger.

==== Miwako Sato ====
[[Miwako Sato|Miwako]] and Juzo have been shown to have a father-daughter relationship, probably because Sato's father had died at a young age.

==== Kiyonaga Matsumoto ====
[[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Superintendent Matsumoto]] is Megure's superior. He has great respect for him.

== Character popularity ==
eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of ''Detective Conan'' (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Megure placed 24th in the poll with 17 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Detective 5.jpg|thumb|right|Maigret was featured by Gosho Aoyama in the fifth volume.]]
"Juzo Megure" comes from '''[[Wikipedia: Jules Maigret|Jules Maigret]]''', a fictional Paris police detective created by the writer Georges Simenon. Maigret and Megure physically resemble one another as well, both are stocky and somewhat overweight. Megure's first name "Juzo" has also been used as a pun on thirteen, the Japanese numeral.

== Quotes ==
{{cquote|No matter what circumstances, there is no justify taking another's life!|Talking to the murderer|[[The Mystery I Loved]]}}

== Trivia ==
* Megure's scar has yet to be seen, because even when he was hospitalized, he either had his hat or had a bandage that wrapped the whole top of his head.
* Megure does not know how to work with computers well. He doesn't know the most basic jargon nor the proper way to turn one on or off.<ref name=379p>Manga Volume 37, File 7, :"Footsteps of Darkness 3"</ref>
* His last, name Megure (目暮), is written with the characters for 'eye' and 'to get dark'. His first name, Jūzō (十三), literally means 'thirteen'.
* Megure is the fourth character with most appearances, only less than the three protagonists.
* Megure’s original English voice actor, Mark Stoddard, reprised his role in the Netflix English dub.
** Mark Stoddard is also the only cast member that reprised his role from the original funimation English dub.

Time Lord Enthusiast: /* Additional concept */ Removing movie redirect

Since 1997, there has been an animated ''[[Detective Conan]]'' movie released during Golden Week each year. With the exception of the first movie, all ''Detective Conan'' movies have been among of the highest-grossing movies in the year it was screened in Japan.

== Additional concept ==
As per the first generation director, [[Kenji Kodama]]: while he was working on the anime, those movie-style scenes often appeared in his mind, but due to budget and time constraints, he deleted them with great reluctance. Therefore, in the plot that lasts for 90 to 100 minute, cases of greater scale can be introduced, and action scenes of higher impact can be included<ref group="N">Kenji Kodama also thinks producing a movie allows those insignificant and intriguing elements to be conceived, and so "[[Hiroshi Agasa]]'s" riddles were born.</ref>.

[[File:MovieProduction.jpg|thumb|right|250px|A sketch of the [[The Time-Bombed Skyscraper|Movie 1]] scene drawn by Gosho Aoyama, which Kodama Kenji pasted directly on the storyboard.]]

Aoyama works inextricably with the staff. In the first movie, Shinichi's birthday and other information related to the original work were told to the production team by Aoyama himself. For example, the scene where [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] asks [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] which colour wire to cut was an idea that Aoyama wanted to draw in the manga, but he generously allowed it to be used in the movie instead. The process of producing a ''Detective Conan'' movie (over the duration of one year) back then was as follows:
# '''The production team and Aoyama attend a conference:''' The core staff of the movie reunion at Aoyama's house, and each propose their own ideas. This often happens after two to three attempts.
# '''Draft proposal:''' Staff in charge of the screenplay, [[Kazunari Kouchi]], based on everyone's opinions, create a draft. This is followed by several other conferences; oftentimes the draft is refined until its sixth version.
# '''Screenplay proposal:''' The final screenplay should be determined after amending the screenplay for two to three times. Intensive conferences do not halt; meanwhile, they also contact Aoyama by phone or fax.
# '''Storyboard, art setting, design works:''' Obeying the final screenplay, various design works can be executed whilst working on location shooting.
# '''Colour design, art boards, background art:''' Through the setting of colour and storyboard, the production team begins to concretise the picture. Whichever part was completed first in the previous stage would come to this stage first.
# '''Key animation works:''' Dozens of key animators repeatedly draw, check, and correct the drawings. Aoyama is also involved therein.
# '''In-between animation works:''' Many more staff begin to add key frames which make key animation "move". However, some will be outsourced overseas.
# '''Colouring, background:''' Photocopy the drawings (originally drawn in pencil) onto celluloid sheets and colour them. At the same time, paint all the backgrounds before the photography work.
# '''Photography, editing<ref group="N">Modern movie production does not require this step, as key frames are drawn directly in the computer. For this reason, some advanced computer graphics may be applied nowadays.</ref>:''' First, coincide the celluloid sheets with the background; then, shoot it frame by frame; last, make necessary edits based on the shot negatives and the storyboard.
# '''Voice-over, recording:''' Voice actors perform by means of the edited masters; after this part is terminated, the addition of background sound effects and soundtracks will take place.

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Kogoro wins a horse race with the price money being 100 times of the original bet, which turns out to be 1 Million Yen. But he admits that it is a ticket he accidentally picked up. Regardless, they go to the neighbourhood sushi restaurant to celebrate. There they meet Wakita who turns out to be proficient in deductive reasoning. He correctly predicts the horse Kogoro bet on just by listening to their conversation. While introducing himself, Wakita says that he is a detective maniac and that he struggles to stay at one place and is constantly moving. He wanted Kogoro to narrate some cases he had solved. It seems that Wakita has a 'bad' eye, much to the suspicion of Conan as an eligible 'Rum' suspect.

Meanwhile, a lady storms into the restaurant shouting that somebody stole her pouch. The pouch is found by the lady on the restaurant bathroom. She says that it was stolen on the train and that the culprit should have an injury to the wrist administered by her as she caught the hand of the thief on the busy train.

{{InfoBox Crime

| suspects = Tsunetaka Harashima, Tameshige Munechika, and Natsume Ashino
| description = The thief most likely overhears the conversation and stole the pouch just for the winning ticket which pays a hundred fold.
}}

Wakita seems to be getting competitive with Kogoro, who avoids going any further into the matter as it seems that the ticket he accidentally picked up was originally hers.

==== Part 2 ====
Wakita volunteered to present his deduction to Kogoro but got wrong. Conan tranquilizes Kogoro when all of the suspects are trying to leave the sushi restaurant and start to pinpoint who the thief is.

{{endBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Wakita presents his deduction: he says the culprit utilized the ginger juices from the Gari to remove the bloodstains from his clothing and that therefore Tsunetaka Harashima, the customer who ordered a lot of Gari, is the culprit. Tsunetaka protests and empties his pockets, showing that he doesn't carry a betting ticket with him and advises the others to do the same. The pressure is too much for Ran and she reveals that Kogoro has a winning 10,000 Yen betting ticket with him that has a hundredfold payout of 1,000,000 Yen. She hands it over to Suzuyo and apologizes. Suzuyo takes a look at the ticket and says that this is not her ticket, since the one she had was a combination betting ticket worth 5,000 Yen, which has a two hundredfold payout, thus making it worth 1,000,000 Yen as well.

Conan knocks out Kogoro and reveals the true culprit, '''Tameshige Munechika'''. He used the daikon radish he ordered, which has the same protease as the ginger from the Gari in it, to remove the bloodstain on his sleeve. The reason he came to the restaurant was that he had to meet with his wife and her parents later, to which he couldn't come with blood on his sleeve, so he had to remove the blood with the daikon from the restaurant before the meeting. His reason for stealing the ticket were his financial problems: he married a woman from a wealthy family and her extravagant life-style and spendings drove him into debt, so he needed to shamefully ask her parents for financial help at their meeting, which is why he gave into the temptation of stealing the ticket, to avoid shaming himself before the parents of his wife. Tameshige than cancels his meeting with his wife and waits for the arrival of the police, who then take him to the station.

Wakita is happy with witnessing a great deduction from the Sleeping Kogoro and wants to become an apprentice of him. In exchange, Wakita offers price cuts in the restaurant for Kogoro at every visit. Kogoro agrees. Later, Kogoro is convinced by Conan and Ran to give the ticket he accidentally picked up to a police station, since it is the right thing to do.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* In the anime, twenty movie names are added for horses although the manga only mentionned two (Pirate's Spirit and Darkest Nightmare).
* In the anime, Conan sits next to Kogoro on the sofa to watch the horse race.
* Kogoro explains that he's been unlucky since the beginning of the day in the manga. In the anime, what he tells Conan is shown in flashbacks.
* Kogoro and Ran bicker in the anime while Conan notices Kogoro won his horse race bet. This doesn't happen in the manga.
* Kogoro kisses his winning ticket in the anime, when he only looks at it happily in the manga.
* When Kogoro, Conan and Ran enter the sushi restaurant in the manga, there's only one employee, Kanenori Wakita. In the anime, there are three employees.
* In the manga, when Kogoro orders three very expensive meals, Ran scolds him by implying they don't have the money. In the anime, Kogoro answers that he can spend this money thanks to the race he just won. Conan reacts to this by saying that the ticket is probably not his only in the anime.
* In the anime, Conan thinking "One of Rum's eyes... is artificial" is replaced by a flashback of [[Three First Discoverers|episode 793]].
* In the anime, after Kogoro explains the Zombie cottage case to Kanenori, he asks for more beer.
* In the manga, Kogoro or Ran reacts each time a client orders something. Kogoro is surprised that a young client drinks a coke with his sushi, so Ran doesn't tell Kogoro not to bicker with the other clients. Kogoro wants to eat something another client ordered, but Ran reminds him he has cholesterol. These reactions didn't make it to the anime adaptation.
* In the manga, when the victim arrives at the restaurant, she doesn't say anything and goes to the loos right away. In the anime, she immediately declares she knows the one who stole her pouch is in the restaurant.

{{nihongo|'''Aki Kumada'''|熊田亜輝|Kumada Aki}} is a Japanese animator. He takes part in the production of ''Detective Conan'' [[anime]].

== Biography ==
Aki Kumada was originally affiliated with [[Studio Wanpack|'''{{font color|#007A5E|Studio Wanpack}}''']]. Kumada joined the production of the ''Detective Conan'' anime in 2005, in which he served as key animator for [[Sword of the Eight-Headed Serpent|'''Episode 420''': Sword of the Eight-Headed Serpent (Part 2)]].

In 2009, Kumada returned to the anime production team, but this time, as an animator from Studio Wanpack. His drawing quality was apparently higher than the fellow animators affiliated with Studio Wanpack at that time. After 2012, Kumada's involvement in the ''Detective Conan'' had lowered significantly; until 2018, [[Kaitou Kid and the Trick Box|'''Episode 887''': Kaitou Kid and the Trick Box (Part 1)]], due to Studio Wanpack had gotten disbanded, Kumada completely quit the ''Detective Conan'' anime production.

'''{{nihongo|Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|円谷光彦|''Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko''}}''', also known as '''Mitch Tennison''' in the English dub and manga, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Mitsuhiko Clear Background.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Mitsuhiko]]
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya is a student in [[Teitan Elementary School]] when [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] joins his class as [[Conan Edogawa]]. Shortly afterwards, his classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] have the idea of investigating an apparently haunted mansion, and they persuade Conan to come along. When Mitsuhiko expresses his skepticism about supernatural hauntings, Genta forcefully 'persuades' him to tag along as well. As it turns out, the ghost story is a cover-up for an old homicide case.

Soon after, the accidental acquisition of a treasure map leads Ayumi, Genta, Mistuhiko and Conan on a hunt for a cache of stolen Italian gold coins, during which Conan saves them from getting killed by the mafia members who are also after the gold. After the case is resolved, Mitsuhiko joins Genta and Ayumi in forming the nucleus of an amateur detective group, the [[Detective Boys]].<ref>Manga Chapter 39: Code Sheet Case: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref>

Mitsuhiko's parents are both teachers, and he has an older sister, [[Asami Tsuburaya]], about ten years his senior. Mitsuhiko doesn't like to eat carrot but be careful.<ref>[[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|Episode 289: Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Mitsuhiko - Impressed Ayumi.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Mitsuhiko happy to have impressed Ayumi.]]
Mitsuhiko enjoys reading science books and takes a scientific approach to problem-solving. He is a smart and well-read first-grader who believes that technology can solve most problems. Due to his strict and formal upbringing by his parents, he tends to be very formal towards his elders, addressing them (in Japanese) with the formal suffix "-san" without regard to the intimacy of their relationship.<ref name=358p8>Volume 35, File 8, pg 8: "Mitsuhiko's Disappearance 1"</ref>
[[File:Mitsuhiko daydreams about Haibara Ai.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Mitsuhiko daydreams about marrying Ai.]]
It has been shown at numerous times that Mitsuhiko really likes to be prepared for any occasion. He enjoys studying scientific, historic and general subjects for his own interest and fun. This eventually allows him to provide useful insights whenever necessary. He's been (or felt) rewarded a few times for his knowledge. In one instance, Ayumi said how impressed she was after Mitsuhiko provided some precise historical facts behind the Ohashi House in Kurashiki, and he thought to himself with a big happy smile on his face: "I'm so glad I studied!".<ref name="ep377">[[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour|Episode 377-378: Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour]]</ref>
[[File:Mitsuhiko explains a riddle.png|thumb|left|200px|Mitsuhiko explaining a riddle.]]
One of his other qualities is that he tends to be proactive in many situations and thinks ahead to possible outcomes. For example, while the [[Detective Boys]] were trying to solve riddles they found in a Momotaro container in a small river in Kurashiki, a murder occurred which eventually led to the different codes to get burned. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], knowing that resolving those codes would lead to concrete proof as to who the murderer might be, was quite pleased when Mitsuhiko proudly announced that he took notes in his Detective Boys notebook "thinking that something like that could happen".<ref name="ep377"/> He has often been shown as shrewder and more quick-witted than Genta and Ayumi, sometimes leading the investigation when Conan and Haibara aren't present.

Despite the preciousness of his intelligence, Mitsuhiko remains an elementary school child, and enjoys activities of his age, such as making a snowman or treasure hunting. As a consequence, he is best friends with Genta and Ayumi.

Mitsuhiko has a dislike for carrots, and will always eat them last (if ever) if he can help it.

== Plot overview ==
=== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 25#Dangerous Cave Case|251]]-[[Volume 26#Dangerous Cave Case|254]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|188-189]]) ===
After the Detective Boys have been trapped in a cavern, and after Conan has fainted, Mitsuhiko, hinted by Conan's last words and Ayumi's opinion, is the one to find the solution of the riddle leading to the exit of the cavern.

=== Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys (Manga: [[Volume 27#Bear Hunters Case|273]]-[[Volume 28#Bear Hunters Case|275]], Anime: [[Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys|212-213]]) ===
* Searching for Genta, Mitsuhiko and Haibara find the body of a dead hunter, and start being tracked by his murderer, who fears they might have seen him. When Haibara sprains her ankle, he makes her a bandage, using a method that Conan had taught him; he then carries her to a safer place. With Haibara's help, he leaves a code to signal his position to the other Detective Boys.
* This is the case where Mitsuhiko develops romantic feelings for Haibara.

=== Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest (Manga: [[Volume 35#Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===
The Detective Boys realize that Mitsuhiko has been missing from his home for specific periods of time, and follow his trail to a forest in Gunma. Mitsuhiko, having heard Haibara and Ayumi expressing their admiration for the beauty of fireflies, wanted to please them by bringing them some. However, having caught a firefly, he realizes that he can't answer Conan's call on his badge without releasing it. He is eventually caught by the escaped serial killer [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] who was also hiding in the forest. Since Numabuchi loves fireflies too, he does not hurt Mitsuhiko, and even carries him back to his friends. This case is a good example of Mitsuhiko's dedication for Ayumi and Haibara.

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

=== Mountain Witch's Cutlery (Manga: [[Volume 56#Onibaba Legend Murder Case|579-581]], Anime: [[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|481-482]]) ===
During the night, Mitsuhiko catches sight of the owner of the house sharpening a cleaver with a fiendish face; a vision which leaves him terrified. It later becomes an essential element of incrimination against the owner during the police investigation.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== [[Countdown to Heaven]] ===
Noticing that both Haibara and Ayumi seem to be interested in Conan, Mitsuhiko asks Ran to meet with her at a café the day after. While they eat, Mitsuhiko tells Ran that he likes both Haibara and Ayumi equally, and asks her if that makes him a bad person. When Haibara falls from the car in mid-air from Tower A to Tower B at the end of the movie, Mitsuhiko saves Haibara by taking her hand and tells her "I'll never let you go!"

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Ayumi Yoshida ===
[[File:EP418 8.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mitsuhiko imagines Ayumi as his wife.]]
As the cheerful and innocent girl she is, [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] has attracted the romantic interests of her teammates Mitsuhiko and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], but she is blissfully unaware of that. Her crush on Conan and tendency to innocently flirt with him leads to feelings of annoyance or disappointment on Mitsuhiko's part. According to [[Movie 5]], Mitsuhiko seems to have liked Ayumi since kindergarten, and according to [[Magic File 2: Shinichi Kudo, The Case of the Mysterious Wall and the Black Lab|Magic File 2]], they have been friends since at least preschool.

=== Ai Haibara ===
[[Image:279haibaramitsuhiko.png|thumb|right|200px|Haibara listening in on Mitsuhiko's radio.]]
{{main|Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
After [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] joins the Detective Boys and replaced him as the second-in-command, Mitsuhiko develops a crush on her due to her intelligence and competence. To date, Ai hasn't shown any romantic feelings for him and uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also admires his intelligence and courage during missions. In some episodes, she even shows more confidence in Mitsuhiko than in Ayumi or Genta when the going gets tough. In some episodes, he notices that Ai and Conan interactions are more mature adults while she talks to Mitsuhiko and other Detective Boys like kids.

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Mitsuhiko's relationship with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is a bit of a two-faced matter. While he generally admires Conan for his intelligence, courage and expertise, he tends to become very jealous of him whenever Ayumi has set her romantic intentions on Conan. He also suffers from being less shrewd and dexterous than him in front of Haibara.<ref>[[Volume 28|Manga Volume 28, Case 274: The Shrunken Target]], page 11</ref>

=== Genta Kojima ===
Mitsuhiko and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] are generally on very good terms with each other, and are mutually jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi decides to give him romantic attention. However, the two do not feel rivalry with each other, likely because Ayumi sees them both as friends.<ref>Anime episode 418: ''[[Home of Beika's Grenier]]''</ref>

== Character popularity ==
eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Mitsuhiko placed 26th in the poll with 8 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Mitsuhiko's name comes from novelist [[wikipedia:ja:内田康夫|Yasuo Uchida]]'s reporter character {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:ja:浅見光彦|Mitsuhiko Asami]]|浅見光彦|Asami Mitsuhiko}}. His name in the funimation dub is named after the main protagonist of a popular TV show named [[Wikipedia: Prime Suspect 1973|Prime Suspect: Tennison]] and its sequel named [[Wikipedia: Prime Suspect|Prime Suspect]]. The protagonist is Jane Tennison, one of the first female Inspector in London who gets promoted to the rank of Superintendent and who confronts the sexism in law enforcement.

== Quotes ==

== Trivia ==
* It is stated in [[Conan Disappeared on the Cliff]] that Mitsuhiko's favorite meal is pudding. However, this episode is [[Canon#Non-canon|an anime original]], and hence not canon.
* Between episodes [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|425]]~[[Information Gathered About the Detective Boys|436]] Mitsuhiko's voice actor [[Ikue Otani]] went on maternity leave and was replaced by [[Ai Orikasa]].<ref>http://forums.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=2074.msg45241#msg45241</ref>
* Mitsuhiko's family name “Tsuburaya” (円谷) means “round valley”. “Mitsuhiko” (光彦) is written with the characters for “light” and “lad, boy”.
* Mitsuhiko's parents have been very rarely mentioned. A [[The Whistling Bookstore|filler episode]] indicates that his father likes photography, but this information has not been canonized as of yet.
* [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]] mentions that both of his parents are school teachers, and really strict about speaking politely.

{{nihongo|'''Kobun Shizuno'''|静野孔文|Shizuno Kōbun}} is a Japanese anime film and television director. He is best known for his work on episodes of ''Detective Conan'' [[anime]] and [[movies]]. Meanwhile, he is also the third ''Detective Conan'' movie director, succeeding [[Yasuichiro Yamamoto]]'s position and was in charge of the direction of movies 15-21.

== Biography ==
After working in the OVA ''[[wikipedia:Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still|Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still]]'' {{jp|ジャイアントロボ地球が静止する日}}, Kobun Shizuno began to serve as a {{Bracket|3DCG|3D Computer Graphics}} director. After turning freelance, he mainly participated in those animation works produced by the studio [[wikipedia:Gonzo (company)|Gonzo]] {{jp|ゴンゾ}}, yet in 2005 he was selected as the chief director of the animation ''[[wikipedia:G.I. Joe: Sigma 6|G.I. Joe: Sigma 6]]'', which was broadcast in the United States; he thus moved his career to North America.

At the [[wikipedia:Expo 2010|Shanghai World Expo]] held in 2010, Shizuno received invitation from the [[wikipedia:United Nations|United Nations]], in which, he produced a 3D animation named ''Millennium Baby'' {{jp|ミレニアムベビー}}, reflecting environmental issues (broadcast exclusively at the DEVNET pavilion of the United Nations area); he served as original author, director, as well as character design. This animation was then granted with the "United Nations Special Contribution Award".

In the ''Detective Conan'' anime, Shizuno served as episode director in 2004 and 2007, within cases [[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour|'''Episode 378''': Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour]] and [[The Shadow of the Black Organization|'''Episode 465''': The Shadow of the Black Organization (Shining Star of Pearl)]] respectively. In the ''Detective Conan'' movies, starting [[Quarter of Silence|'''Movie 15''': Quarter of Silence]] in 2011, Shizuno took over the movie director role from Yasuichiro Yamamoto and constantly did storyboard, technical director, and key animation along. After [[The Crimson Love Letter|'''Movie 21''': The Crimson Love Letter]] in 2017, he stepped down from the role (the proceeding movie was directed by [[Yuzuru Tachikawa]]). In 2020, Shizuno served as director in OP51 [[Makka na Lip]].

{{nihongo|'''Hiroyuki Notake'''|野武洋行|Notake Hiroyuki}} is a Japanese animator. He does key animation, animation director, sub-character designing, and design works in ''Detective Conan'' [[anime]] and [[movies]]. He was also animation supervisor for a short period from episode 710 to episode 719.

== Biography ==
Hiroyuki Notake first started as animator in 1993. He joined the production of ''Detective Conan'' in 2001, working on the movies as key animator for [[Countdown to Heaven|'''Movie 5''': Countdown to Heaven]]; later persistently engaged within the key animation group. In the main anime aspect, he only started to do key animation in 2004, starting with [[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour|'''Episode 377''': Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour (Part 1)]]. Later on, he was spontaneously involved in the production of some significant episodes throughout the anime: a typical example would be the animation correction work of [[The Scarlet School Trip|'''Episodes 927~928''': The Scarlet School Trip]], along with the key animation work of the remake [[The Moonlight Sonata Murder|'''Episode 1001''': The Moonlight Sonata Murder (Part 2)]].

[[File:EP712-1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan supervised by Notake.]]

Noteworthy, Notake has also been the animation supervisor of the ''Detective Conan'' anime in episodes 710-719 shortly. He is regarded as one of the capable staff when it comes to animation supervision - according to some fans, his personal art style is a combination of [[Masatomo Sudo]] and [[Seiji Muta]], ending up smooth and immaculate character outlines.

Meanwhile, he also does design-related works in ''Detective Conan'': he served as prop designer jointly with [[Kumiko Shishido]] in three episodes from the [[Clash of Red and Black|'''Episodes 491~504''': Clash of Red and Black]] series. He was also responsible for devising the exclusive J-League characters in [[The Eleventh Striker|'''Movie 16''': The Eleventh Striker]].

The ''Detective Conan'' movies are his main focuses, he became a regular staff ever since movie 12, and then did animation director work all along, even to this day.

{{nihongo|'''Shigeru Yamazaki'''|山崎茂|Yamazaki Shigeru}} is a Japanese technical director. He takes part in the production of ''Detective Conan'' [[anime]].

== Biography ==
Shigeru Yamazaki is affiliated with [[BIG BANG|'''{{font color|#007A5E|BIG BANG}}''']]. Yamazaki debuted as an animator in 1982, by virtue of his role as a key animator in the animation work ''[[wikipedia:Super Dimension Fortress Macross|Super Dimension Fortress Macross]]'' {{jp|超時空要塞マクロス}}.

Yamazaki joined the production of the ''Detective Conan'' anime in 2005, starting with [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|'''Episode 387''': The Dissonance of the Stradivarius (Postlude)]]; later began to take part in the anime production spontaneously.

Starting 2010, Yamazaki was in charge of the episode directing of those episodes outsourced to the [[BIG BANG]] studio, in a somewhat regular fashion. Until 2013, after the episode [[The Unsolvable Ice Trap|'''Episode 687''': The Unsolvable Ice Trap]], the BIG BANG regular episode director position was transitioned to [[Takanori Yano]].

'''{{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_provokes_Gin.jpg|thumb|left|200px|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 seemed 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>

== Abilities ==
=== Disguise ===
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|200px|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>[[Teitan High School's Ghost Story|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.

=== Pain Tolerance ===
She 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|200px|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.

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 356 A|Gin's Porsche 356 A]].

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".

== Plot exposition ==
=== Family history ===
[[File:Vermouth Sharon Vineyard EP345.png|thumb|right|200px|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.png|thumb|left|200px|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"/>

=== Hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not Jodie ===
[[File:Jodie mirror pictures.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images. This detail is erroneously omitted in the anime adaptation.]]
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|200px|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 as Araide.png|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="f341">[[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|200px|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...

On the train, when she was talking to Yukiko, Yukiko brought up whatever is used to keep your youthful appearance. She mentiioned about painful that it did not effect the rest of her body, however she sure does not move around like a person in their 40s, and let alone older.

=== 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.

Another possibility, could be if she ever administered the APTX 4869 orally, as in she hides it in her mouth, and transfers it to her intended target, as in Mary Sera's case, the de-aging effect may had kept her young, while it may kill or make young the target.

After all, she did state her skin care regiment for retaining her youthful glow to Yukiko in [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] painfully does not affect the entire body, which hints that it mostly affects the face, and other external appearances.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Yukiko Kudo ====
[[File:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth with Yukiko approximately 20 years ago.]]
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. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.

====Toichi Kuroba====
Sharon, along with the aspiring actress Yukiko Kudo, studied the finer arts of disguise under Toichi Kuroba. Sharon seems to be unaware of Toichi's alter ego as Kaitou Kid, and that his son, Kaito Kuroba, once interfered with her and Bourbon's plan of capturing Sherry.<ref>Bell Tree Express Train Case</ref>

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{Main|Gin and Vermouth}}
[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth teases Gin with a disguise.]]
Vermouth and [[Gin]] are both executive members. 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.

==== Sherry ====
[[File:Vermouth episode 230.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth terrifies Haibara.]]
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. 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. Additionally if Shiho was in a relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a romantic relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref>

==== 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 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. Within the syndicate, Vermouth is also known as the Boss' Favorite.
As the Boss' Favorite, Vermouth is granted some privileges such as limited independence and protection from other Black Organization Members.

==== 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,and it probably had nothing to do with her being aware that Gin and Vodka probably placed a ton of explosives at the destination platform, which would have caused the entire train, and everyone on it, including her and Boubon, to blow up as well.

==== Rum ====
The relationship between the Boss' Favorite and the Boss' Close Aide is somewhat unknown, although Vermouth was once seen taking orders from syndicate's Second-In-Command. Vermouth was tasked to investigate Yusaku Kudo, an individual whom Rum considers a threat to the Black Organization in Yusaku Kudo's TV Show Case.

==== Tequila (deceased) ====
Suguru Itakura suspected that Vermouth and [[Tequila]] were in cahoots when both individuals demanded him to finish a particular program that the Black Organization was interested in. Though Vermouth and Tequila are never shown interacting on screen or in the manga, it can be assumed they did speak at some point in a coordinated effort to intimidate Itakura to finish the computer program the Organization wanted.

==== 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>

Twenty 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 ====
Kir and her have a respectable relationship in the Black Organization. After Kir says a phrase that the CIA uses, she suspects that [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] is a member of the CIA though she hasn't told anyone about it.

=== Others ===
[[File:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's dartboard. Conan's picture has "Cool guy" written on it while Ran's says "Angel."]]
==== Shinichi Kudo/ Edogawa Conan ====
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 Kudo|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.

Because of this, Conan does not react strongly when she is mentioned, as opposed to [[Haibara]]. He also seems to consider her less of a threat than the other members because he is able to bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to Head]], After Conan removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wrist watch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.

She also destroyed the box that he was connected to by many wires, so as not to possibly accidentally kill or hurt him, which pulling out the wires would have, according to Conan.

After she used sleeping gas, in order to knock him back out, so that she can escape, and not lead the Black Organization members to him.

She even covered the sleeping boy up with her coat, so that he would not get sick, since she had literally cut his shirt wide open, in order to see the wires and connected box, which may have made him sick, if he is not found right away, since it is pretty cold, and colds are spreading at this time.

She shot herself in the leg, and had to hobble some distance away from the car, so that he would remain out of sight, and no where around her, when Gin came to pick her up.

In [[the Raven Chaser]], she even provided Conan with the name of [[Irish]], and gave him a little bit of information of why the Organization is interested in this serial murder case.

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to [[Gin]], she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," in order to protect Conan. Also, when the Gin ordered [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to kill [[Kogoro Mori]] together with Conan, Vermouth was against it.

==== 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. She also describes her as "one of only two treasures in her life" (the other being Shinichi Kudo) when Ran asked her if she was or wasn't Azusa Enomoto.

====Tomoaki Araide====
Vermouth originally intended to kill Araide and take his place to approach Conan and Haibara more closely. Anticipating this development, the FBI faked his death and Vermouth took his place as expected, giving the FBI an opportunity to investigate Vermouth in close proximity.
While disguised as Tomoaki Araide, Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to the students and patients. This fact made the real Araide wonder if Vermouth is really a bad person<ref> Teitan High School's Ghost Story</ref>.

====Suguru Itakura====
Vermouth's Target. Sharon and Itakura worked before in movies containing visual effects and the two were known for their constant quarelling. Although Itakura seems to be unaware of Sharon's persona as Vermouth, he follows her orders anyway and partially completed the program that the Black Organization was interested in.

====Yusaku Kudo====
Sharon and Yusaku were probably acquainted through Yukiko Kudo, a friend of Sharon's and Yusaku's wife. Vermouth once investigated him after being tasked by Rum to monitor the individual, considering him a threat to the Black Organization. However, Yusaku saw through the syndicate's ploy and tricked Vermouth into thinking that they are just staying for vacation.
Since Yusaku is Shinichi's Father, it is unclear if Vermouth really meant to kill him when she stated on planning to eliminate the "person of interest" when necessary.

====Kogoro Mouri====
Vermouth once stole Kogoro's files from the police to successfully testify as Tomoaki Araide in court and later returned them in one piece.
Since Kogoro is Ran's Father, Vermouth tried to protect him from being killed by Gin after he was suspected on planting a bug on Kir's shoe, implying her consideration for Ran's feelings and welfare.

====Mary Sera====
Vermouth once disguised as Tsutomu Akai in an attempt to lure out Mary Sera on Vauxhall Bridge in London.<ref>File 1048</ref> She intended to take her place and infiltrate the Secret Intelligence Service. However, as complications went underway, Vermouth forcibly ingested APTX 4869 into Mary's mouth, shrinking her to her childhood state.<ref>File 1049</ref>
