Just as Kogoro&#039;s luck seems to be running out after a bad day at the horse races with a revenge fueled escaped con bearing down on him, a beautiful woman practically falls into his arms. The only problem is, she can&#039;t remember a thing about herself, except her name. Can Kogoro help this woman regain her memory and, if so, will it only get him into more trouble than he&#039;s already in?&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;The &amp;quot;bearded guy with sunglasses&amp;quot; was &#039;&#039;&#039;Hitoshi Yuda&#039;&#039;&#039; in a disguise, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Maya Tachibana&#039;&#039;&#039; was a hitwoman that he hired to kill Kogoro for &amp;quot;revealing&amp;quot; him as the killer of his wife. She lost her memories when she got involved in a traffic accident and hit her head; midway through the episode she recovered it, specially after Yuda kept trying to kill Kogoro himself. Maya then decided to pretend she was still amnesiac, both to set the deal with Yuda and then finish her mission of killing Kogoro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Maya&#039;s weapon was a garrote wire, which she used to strangle her victims. She managed to trap Kogoro and use the garrote to hang him in a makeshift gallow.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{InfoBox Crime&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By then, Conan had already notified the police and then used his super sneakers to kick a baseball towards Maya, forcing her to release Kogoro.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
Maya Tachibana and Hitoshi Yuda are arrested.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
It&#039;s the first two-parter episode, adapting the [[Volume 3#Hatamoto Family Case|Hatamoto Family Case]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;(ch 20-25)&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; of the &#039;&#039;Detective Conan&#039;&#039; [[Manga|manga]]. The Part 1 was first aired in July 1, 1996 and Part 2 at July 8, 1996, while the remastered version was aired in April 6, 2013 and April 13, 2013 retrospectively.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this two-parter, [[Kogoro]], [[Ran]], and [[Conan]] miss their boat home from a vacation and are lucky to hitch a ride with the rich Hatamoto family on a private ship. The head of the Hatamoto family, Gozo, is murdered, and the evidence all points to Takeshi, whose father committed suicide when his company was taken over by the Hatamoto family. Later, a Hatamoto family member, Tatsuo, is found dead and Takeshi is missing from the storage room. It&#039;s up to Conan to find the evidence to prove Takeshi&#039;s innocence and the culprit guilty. &lt;br /&gt;

=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Part 1 ====&lt;br /&gt;
Ran and Conan enjoy the view from a luxury cruise ship, whose owners are charitably giving them a ride back to Tokyo since Kogoro forgot the departure time of their original boat. Ran and Conan notice another passenger, Natsue Hatamoto, who just married her husband, Takeshi, on the island they just left. Natsue&#039;s grandfather, Gozo, the head of the Hatamoto family and businesses, rants at his son-in-law, Kitarou, for allowing non-family members onto the ship. Natsue&#039;s uncle, Joji Hatamoto, muses that Gozo&#039;s bad mood is likely from Joji cooking Western rather than traditional food. Gozo also belittles Kitarou&#039;s son, Ichirou, for being an artist and pursuing a hopeless dream. Gozo then orders Takeshi to come visit his room before dinner, and leaves.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:EP22-23 Gallery 1.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Gozo orders Takeshi to come visit his room before dinner.]]&lt;br /&gt;
After he leaves, the disdain his descendants feel for him is revealed as Kitarou&#039;s wife/Gozo&#039;s daughter Mariko, Natsue&#039;s older sister Akie, and Akie&#039;s husband Tatsuo, argue over who will inherit everything after Gozo finally dies. Akie whispers shocking information to Mariko and mentions that there is only the twenty-four hours of the cruise to try to change anything.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, Gozo confronts Takeshi over the fact that Takeshi&#039;s identity is fake, and demands to know how he intends to avenge his father, though how Gozo wronged Isao Zaiki is not mentioned. Takeshi does not answer, but someone in the shadows overhears the conversation. As the family assembles for dinner, the butler goes to summon Gozo and finds the flower that Natsue gave Takeshi earlier just outside the door. Takeshi arrives at dinner a bit late and says he was thinking alone in his room, just before the butler&#039;s yell summons everyone to discover Gozo&#039;s dead body.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

The butler Suzuki went to his room, unlocked the door, and found Gozo dead from a blade wound in his abdomen. However, the murder weapon was not found in the room. Takeshi was suspected because his lapel flower was found in front of the door.&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro confirms Gozo&#039;s death, to Natsue&#039;s dismay, and declares that he died approximately 40-50 minutes ago.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:EP22-23 Gallery 2.jpeg|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro declares that Gozo died approximately 40-50 minutes ago.]]&lt;br /&gt;
He confirms Kenji&#039;s alibi, and that the locked door and lack of a weapon may imply murder. The family argues suicide, but Conan proves that it was a murder by the blood spatters on the doorframe that could have only have occurred with the door open. After being stabbed, Gozo closed the door and locked it from the inside, but then died from blood loss. The timing, however, means the culprit could have been anyone not in the dining room 40-50 minutes ago, which leaves the entire Hatamoto family but Natsue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenji reports that the only unusual thing he noticed was a flower in front of the door — the flower Natsue had given to Takeshi. Takeshi denies guilt, but Mariko reports overhearing his conversation with Gozo about how he was the son of Zaiki Isao, a business rival who committed suicide after the Hatamoto group took over his company. Takeshi confessed to being Zaiki Takehiko, but denies having murdered Gozo in the face of repeated accusations from the Hatamoto family members, and Natsue&#039;s heartbroken doubt of his innocence. Conan ignores the drama to inspect the scene, and discovers something odd in the blood spatter.&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
The odd thing is a bloody piece of bread crust. Conan learns from Kenji that the wedding meal included french bread made by Joji, chef and manager of a french restaurant. Gozo hated Western style food, but any of the family ate and could have dropped the bread, and Joji owns cooking knives. Takeshi is locked in a storeroom to await arrest when the ship docks in Tokyo. The family minus Natsue, who has run off alone in distress, discuss the inheritance (and inadvertently reveal why they could benefit from Gozo&#039;s death), until Kenji reveals that rather than defaulting into division between members, a will designates Natsue as sole heir. No one takes the news well, though Kogoro tries to keep them calm. The most upset one is Tatsuo, who reveals that he only married Akie to try getting money out of the Hatamoto inheritance. Akie, who clearly didn&#039;t know that, is completely shocked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ran and Conan find Natsue outside, afraid she can&#039;t trust Takeshi to have loved her. Ran encourages Natsue to believe in him. Conan hears strange sounds - a splash, and then a dull thud - from the lower deck, and after a moment he, Ran, and Natsue investigate only to find Tatsuo dead.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The family gathers at the scene, with Akie tearfully holding her husband&#039;s corpse then thinks to check whether Takeshi is still confined; Kogoro or Conan find the storeroom unlocked and empty.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:EP22-23d Case.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan found the storeroom door unlocked, making it seem that Takeshi has escaped.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro and Conan return to the Hatamoto family and explain that Takeshi is likely out to murder the entire family as revenge for his father, shocking everyone, especially Natsume.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Part 2 ====&lt;br /&gt;
After reviewing the crime, Kogoro suggests they should gather for the rest of the night together in the dining hall, to keep Takeshi from murdering anyone else. Akie and Mariko blame Natsue for giving Takeshi access to the family, but Conan interjects that Takeshi&#039;s guilt isn&#039;t proven, because the room had to be opened from the outside, as it was a sliding lock, not one that required a key and therefore could be lock-picked. Someone had to let Takeshi out of the room, otherwise he would still have been in there.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Akie and Mariko argue further about motives and blame, Ran notices Ichiro&#039;s sketches of Natsue, which embarrasses him and bring him to Akie&#039;s attention. She accuses him and Kitaro of having motives to kill both, before Kogoro interrupts and orders everyone to calm down. Ichiro leaves to use the restroom. While he&#039;s gone, Joji suggests that Tatsuo may have let Takeshi out himself, with a plausible reasoning; with his usefulness expended, Tatsuo was likely killed to prevent interference. Suddenly, a blackout occurs. Kogoro sends Ran and Conan to check on Ichiro while he restores the power, and they arrive to find Ichiro alive, but stabbed in the leg.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:EP22-23 Gallery 3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Two knives from Joji&#039;s collection are missing.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Ichiro denies having seen his attacker, but the knife on the floor is engraved with Joji&#039;s name. Joji claims the dining hall as an alibi for everyone but Takeshi, but Kogoro reveals that the blackout occurred on its own due to a timing device anyone could have set up. Conan studies the device carefully while Kogoro promises to find Takeshi. The family remain in the dining hall while Kogoro, Ran, Conan, and Kenji search the ship, including the rooms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Kitaro&#039;s room, Kenji mentions that Mariko and Kitaro are cousins, who were close since childhood and married despite Gozo&#039;s disapproval. Joji&#039;s room reveals that two knives from his collection are missing; Ichiro&#039;s room contains nothing besides an easel sketchpad full of well-drawn pictures of Natsue and typical art supplies. The other rooms reveal nothing except for Akie&#039;s, where Conan sees something surprising in the closet but claims that nothing is there. Conan asks Kenji a whispered question that shocks the butler how he could possibly know a closely kept secret of one of the family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kenji&#039;s confirmation resolves the three incidents in Conan&#039;s mind, and he lures Kogoro back into Akie&#039;s room and knocks him out using Agasa&#039;s latest invention, the Stun-Gun Wristwatch. Conan tells Ran to gather the family on Kogoro&#039;s behalf, and drags Kogoro&#039;s sleeping form into a chair facing away from the door to look normal. Ran and the others arrive after Conan hides out of sight, and Conan uses the bow-tie to explain that he knows who the criminal is.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Evidence&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
** Breadcrumbs were found at the crime scene. Gozo Hatamoto&#039;s grandson, Ichiro, was a skilled artist who specialized in charcoal drawing, and breadcrumbs can be used as erasers when drawing with charcoal. The crumbs were stained not only in blood, but in charcoal; they likely were inside Ichiro&#039;s sleeve and were unknowingly dropped as he struggled with Gozo.&lt;br /&gt;
** In contrast, the white flower that was found in said crime scene (the main &amp;quot;evidence&amp;quot; against Takeshi, who wore it on his lapel) lacked any blood stains, therefore Conan deduced that it was &amp;quot;planted&amp;quot; at the scene to make it look like Takeshi was the killer. &lt;br /&gt;
** Takeshi &amp;quot;ran away&amp;quot; from the storeroom he was thrown into, but the door could NOT be opened from the inside due to how it was built. Therefore, it was impossible for him to have simply opened the door and run away, so someone should have freed him from the outside. Ichiro did that to make everyone believe Takeshi was on the loose and ready to kill again; in reality, Takeshi &#039;&#039;did&#039;&#039; run away once he noticed the door was open, but by then he found out about Tatsuo&#039;s death and heard the tearful Akie blame him for the murder, so he hid in the closet in Joji&#039;s room to wait and figure out what to do.&lt;br /&gt;
** The murder of Tatsuo was not pre-planned. He actually was killed by Ichiro because he saw him throw the knife he used to kill Gozo into the sea, so Ichiro panicked again and beat him with the first blunt object he found: a metal pipe.  &lt;br /&gt;
** Ichiro&#039;s attacker was himself. He used a trick to make the lights go out, and once this happened he stole his uncle&#039;s cooking knife, locked himself in the bathroom and stabbed his own leg, blaming Takeshi for it. It&#039;s hard to believe that a struggle in the dark would result in someone being stabbed merely in a non-lethal spot, but in the heat of the moment no one would really notice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Conclusion&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
The killer was &#039;&#039;&#039;Ichiro Hatamoto&#039;&#039;&#039;, Gozo&#039;s grandson and Natsue&#039;s cousin and unlucky childhood friend. He had not straightforwardly intended to kill his grandfather, but after dinner they got into a very ugly verbal fight. Ichiro couldn&#039;t withstand Gozo&#039;s abusive treatment and attacked his grandfather, and in the middle of the struggle he took a knife that was on the table and stabbed him to death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once Ichiro realized what he had done, he started to cover his own steps by making everyone believe that Natsue&#039;s husband Takeshi (and his love rival) was the real killer. Takeshi himself had reasons to be angry at Gozo Hatamoto: his family owned a small business that was absorbed by the Hatamoto company (causing the suicide of Takeshi&#039;s father Isao) and Gozo himself not only knew it, but he also abused Takeshi because of it, thinking that he was a mere gold digger (which he wasn&#039;t, since he &#039;&#039;did&#039;&#039; come to truly care for Natsue). Therefore, Ichiro easily dropped fake leads that led to Takeshi being blamed for Gozo&#039;s death, and later for Tatsuo&#039;s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* &#039;&#039;&#039;Motive&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:EP22-23 Gallery 4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Ichiro Hatamoto was madly in love with Natsue, which was indicated when his sketchbook was revealed with nothing but drawings of Natsue.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Ichiro Hatamoto, as explained, was madly in love with his cousin Natsue, which was indicated when his sketchbook was revealed with nothing but drawings of Natsue. But Gozo had repeatedly said no when he asked him if he could marry her, and kept mistreating Ichiro afterwards. This time however, Gozo&#039;s taunts were directed to Ichiro himself, calling him a failure to the Hatamoto family and telling him to give up his dreams of being an artist. To add further insult to injury he revealed to Ichiro that Natsue was already engaged to Takeshi, which triggered Ichiro so badly that he completely snapped and attacked his grandfather.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It should be noted that in Japanese society, first cousin marriage is relatively acceptable and not that unheard of. (i.e., in real life ex-Premier Naoto Kan is married to his cousin Nobuko). Ichiro&#039;s own parents Mariko and Kitaro actually were first cousins and in love ever since they were teens: twenty-five years ago they did manage to get Gozo&#039;s approval for their marriage, but it actually took them lots of time and much pleading with the old man, who still treated his nephew and son-in-law badly. Therefore Gozo was furious when he saw that his least favorite grandson was developing feelings for his favorite granddaughter, whom he also had appointed as his only heir.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, while waiting for Ichiro to return from the restroom, Joji Hatamoto comes up with a thought that the one who released Takeshi from the storeroom was the murdered Tatsuo Hatamoto. His theory: Upon learning that the entire inheritance was to be passed on to Natsue only, and not wanting to be cut off, Tatsuo released Takeshi and offered to help prove his innocence in return for a considerable share of the inheritance, and Takeshi, on the pretense of wanting to negotiate with him further, lured Tatsuo to the boat deck where he attacked and killed him there. This is not depicted in the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the anime, there is an additional scene not depicted in the manga: After the case is solved, Natsue and Takeshi have a small talk on the boat deck in which Takeshi confesses that he &#039;&#039;did&#039;&#039; indeed intially join the Hatamoto family for revenge, but abandoned his motive after realizing that he had developed genuine feelings for Natsue, and the two make up. Conan and Ran are shown overhearing the conversation.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, this marks the first case in which Conan uses the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] to knock out Kogoro, as well as showing a flashback to Agasa presenting it to him.  In the anime, Conan’s already had it since &amp;quot;[[Valentine Murder Case]]&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
To the request of Ayumi, the Detective Boys visit a so-called haunted mansion on 4th Street. Armed with various objects to protect themselves and help themselves navigate the mansion, they break in from the back. They are scared by various things in the mansion, such as statues of gargoyles used as decoration and a door opened by the wind.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* There is a working secret entrance that allows entry or exit onto the grounds without being seen by anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
* The house still has running water.&lt;br /&gt;
* A window had been left open, with no signs of wind or rain wear.&lt;br /&gt;
* The house shows no overt signs of life, but the kids smell something cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
The house is not abandoned, but rather hides the dead mansion owner&#039;s wife and son, Akio. &#039;&#039;&#039;Akio&#039;&#039;&#039; 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 &amp;quot;protection&amp;quot;, however, meant locking Akio in the basement until the statute of limitations for the murder expired and he couldn&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s help, this time he is successful, and both mother and son turn themselves in together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
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 &#039;&#039;&#039;Eto&#039;&#039;&#039; family to investigate, much to the shock of Conan as it&#039;s his own house due to the fact Ayumi has misread the kanji &amp;quot;Ku&amp;quot; 工 in &#039;&#039;&#039;Kudo&#039;&#039;&#039; (工藤) as katakana &amp;quot;E&amp;quot; エ as in &#039;&#039;&#039;Eto&#039;&#039;&#039; (エ藤).&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* At the end of the episode, Mitsuhiko says that they are going to investigate Shinichi&#039;s house which he says &amp;quot;is the last house on the left&amp;quot;. This could be an allusion to the 1972 horror film of the same name.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Translation changes ===&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* Akio&#039;s name in the English Dub is Abraham.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;Conan notices that some of the words are dry while others are wet, revealing the dry message to spell &amp;quot;Attractive Man&amp;quot; (ニマイメ, Nimaime) which refers to Shingo, one of the actors. Shingo reveals he changed the message to avoid being suspected of murdering Anzai. Conan discovers the name was altered to frame Shingo and that the real name is under Shingo&#039;s. As Sleeping Kogoro, Conan reveals that the name left by Anzai is &amp;quot;Mame&amp;quot; (マメ) from &amp;quot;Mamegaki&amp;quot; (マメガキ), and reveals &#039;&#039;&#039;Taeko Mamegaki&#039;&#039;&#039; to be the murderer. He reveals that when Taeko killed Anzai, she did not notice the dying message. When her fiancée, Yuji, was searching for her, he discovered Anzai&#039;s body and his dying message, so he changed it to frame Shingo, and also disguised himself as Anzai to alter the estimated time of death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Motive ==&lt;br /&gt;
Taeko confesses and reveals that she accidentally murdered Anzai in a fight because he had blackmailed her about her past. She reveals that she had once been in a bad place and had hung out with Anzai and his gang during her high school days. She also reveals that she had indirectly caused the robbery of her grandfather&#039;s shrine as Anzai and his gang were the ones responsible for committing the robbery in the first place, which in turn caused the shrine&#039;s supervisor, Sugiyama, to commit suicide. Taeko wanted to tell her grandfather the truth, but after Sugiyama committed suicide, she panicked, believing it was all her fault, leaving her with an immense amount of guilt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually she left Anzai&#039;s gang and straightened out her life, but she ran into Anzai again. He convinced her that she was responsible for what happened using her guilt, and from that point on, started to blackmail her. When she went to meet up with Anzai, instead of bringing the money he asked for, she brought the knife used during the filming. She had tried to threaten him into leaving her alone instead he lunged at her, as they struggled they both fell, which ended with Anzai landing on the knife. Yuji admits his guilt as well stating that he just wanted to protect her and did so by altering the dying message and disguised himself as Anzai taking his vest, hat, and his very noticeable watch. In the end, both of them are arrested for their crimes.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Translation changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Anime ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The names of the characters in the English dub are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Shingo Nachi - Ringo Norris&lt;br /&gt;
:* Taketoshi Gondo - Gregor&lt;br /&gt;
:* Taeko Mamegaki - Tina Fontana&lt;br /&gt;
:* Yuji Shimazaki - Jeremiah Suarez&lt;br /&gt;
:* Morio Anzai - Mario Abbott&lt;br /&gt;
:* Kyusaku Mamegaki - Constantine Fontana&lt;br /&gt;
:* Sugiyama (Shrine supervisor) - Stoddard&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the first screenplay written by the fourth generation director, [[Koujin Ochi]], in the &#039;&#039;Detective Conan&#039;&#039; anime.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kogoro watches the completed TV drama in [[The Black Wings of Icarus]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;(ep 203-204)&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Shrine Supervisor&#039;s name in the Funimation dub, Stoddard, is likely an homage to Mark Stoddard, the Funimation dub voice actor for Inspector Megure.&lt;br /&gt;

== Case ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
To the request of Ayumi, the Detective Boys visit a so-called haunted mansion on 4th Street. Armed with various objects to protect themselves and help themselves navigate the mansion, they break in from the back. They are scared by various things in the mansion, such as statues of gargoyles used as decoration and a door opened by the wind.&lt;br /&gt;

The visit goes awry once the Detective Boys separate and start disappearing one by one. On his quest to locate them, Conan finds clues that indicate that this house may not be empty after all.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{InfoBox Crime&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* There is a working secret entrance that allows entry or exit onto the grounds without being seen by anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
* The house still has running water.&lt;br /&gt;
* A window had been left open, with no signs of wind or rain wear.&lt;br /&gt;
* The house shows no overt signs of life, but the kids smell something cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
The house is not abandoned, but rather hides the dead mansion owner&#039;s wife and son, Akio. &#039;&#039;&#039;Akio&#039;&#039;&#039; 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 &amp;quot;protection&amp;quot;, however, meant locking Akio in the basement until the statute of limitations for the murder expired and he couldn&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s help, this time he is successful, and both mother and son turn themselves in together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
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 &#039;&#039;&#039;Eto&#039;&#039;&#039; family to investigate, much to the shock of Conan as it&#039;s his own house due to the fact Ayumi has misread the kanji &amp;quot;Ku&amp;quot; 工 in &#039;&#039;&#039;Kudo&#039;&#039;&#039; (工藤) as katakana &amp;quot;E&amp;quot; エ as in &#039;&#039;&#039;Eto&#039;&#039;&#039; (エ藤).&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* At the end of the episode, Mitsuhiko says that they are going to investigate Shinichi&#039;s house which he says &amp;quot;is the last house on the left&amp;quot;. This could be an allusion to the 1972 horror film of the same name.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Translation changes ===&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* Akio&#039;s name in the English Dub is Abraham.&lt;br /&gt;

== Case ==&lt;br /&gt;
To the request of Ayumi, the Detective Boys visit a so-called haunted mansion on 4th Street. Armed with various objects to protect themselves and help themselves navigate the mansion, they break in from the back. They are scared by various things in the mansion, such as statues of gargoyles used as decoration and a door opened by the wind.&lt;br /&gt;

{{InfoBox Crime&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* There is a working secret entrance that allows entry or exit onto the grounds without being seen by anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;
* The house still has running water.&lt;br /&gt;
* A window had been left open, with no signs of wind or rain wear.&lt;br /&gt;
* The house shows no overt signs of life, but the kids smell something cooking.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
The house is not abandoned, but rather hides the dead mansion owner&#039;s wife and son, Akio. &#039;&#039;&#039;Akio&#039;&#039;&#039; 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 &amp;quot;protection&amp;quot;, however, meant locking Akio in the basement until the statute of limitations for the murder expired and he couldn&#039;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&#039;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&#039;s help, this time he is successful, and both mother and son turn themselves in together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Aftermath ====&lt;br /&gt;
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 &#039;&#039;&#039;Eto&#039;&#039;&#039; family to investigate, much to the shock of Conan as it&#039;s his own house due to the fact Ayumi has misread the kanji &amp;quot;Ku&amp;quot; 工 in &#039;&#039;&#039;Kudo&#039;&#039;&#039; (工藤) as katakana &amp;quot;E&amp;quot; エ as in &#039;&#039;&#039;Eto&#039;&#039;&#039; (エ藤).&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* At the end of the episode, Mitsuhiko says that they are going to investigate Shinichi&#039;s house which he says &amp;quot;is the last house on the left&amp;quot;. This could be an allusion to the 1972 horror film of the same name.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Translation changes ===&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* Akio&#039;s name in the English Dub is Abraham.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Personality ==&lt;br /&gt;
He is a fearful little animal that always stays on Ayanokoji&#039;s shoulder and doesn&#039;t like other strangers to touch him, such as [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], except children like the [[Detective Boys]].&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;/tabs&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Plot overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1001-1002]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|927-928]]) ===&lt;br /&gt;
At the introduction of Ayanokoji, he sits on his shoulder and [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] is amazed by that. [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] tells her that Ayanokoji always has his chipmunk with him. As the case progresses, the animal is not present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Detective Play Director Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Detective Play Director Murder Case|1089]], Anime: [[Momiji Ooka&#039;s Sweet Trap|1135-1136]]) ===&lt;br /&gt;
While Ayanokoji is at the crime scene, he has to hide in his breast pocket so that [[Hyoe Kuroda|Kuroda]] doesn&#039;t notice the animal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Non-canon plot overview ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Crossroad in the Ancient Capital (Movie: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital|7]]) ===&lt;br /&gt;
He is with Ayanokoji at a press conference given by the police on a series of murders in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. During a conversation between [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] and [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] about Ayanokoji, it is learned about the chipmunk. Ayanokoji prefers to carry him in the left breast pocket of his jacket, but later [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] adds that he stays at home when the inspector visits a crime scene. Unlike [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] is reluctant to say goodbye to the animal. She would like to take it home, but Ayanokoji tells her he can&#039;t give away his best friend.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Raven Chaser (Movie: [[The Raven Chaser|13]]) ===&lt;br /&gt;
While Ayanokoji is on the phone with [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Shiratori]] regarding a case, he climbs around him twice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Missing Sweets in the Old Shop (Anime: [[The Missing Sweets in the Old Shop|694]]) ===&lt;br /&gt;
On his day off, Ayanokoji takes him for a walk and bumps into the Kogoro, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], and the Detective Boys. They search and puzzle together for a missing piece of chocolate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Dimensional Sniper (Movie: [[Dimensional Sniper|18]]) ===&lt;br /&gt;
In a sniper killing spree, Ayanokoji questions a former sniper and tells him to be careful. The inspector was startled briefly, which is why he falls down and climbs back onto his shoulder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== The Crimson Love Letter (Movie: [[The Crimson Love Letter|21]]) ===&lt;br /&gt;
When Conan and Heiji arrive in Kyoto to investigate the crime scene, Ayanokoji greets them. The chipmunk chirps briefly. Heiji monitors [[Momiji Ooka|Momiji]] and stands in front of her mansion. Ayanokoji also shows up there with him. When the door opens, the attentive and shy chipmunk looks over there and hides in his jacket pocket in fear. He sits on the inspector&#039;s shoulder as spectators are admitted to the final venue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Kaiju Gomera vs. Kamen Yaiba (Anime: [[Kaiju Gomera vs. Kamen Yaiba|965-968]]) ===&lt;br /&gt;
After Ayanokoji saves Ran&#039;s life, he climbs from the jacket pocket over his shoulders. While reporting to the Osaka police, Ayanokoji and the chipmunk bow down, disappointed that they couldn&#039;t find anything concrete on the case. When Ayanokoji is in a meeting with the police officers, he rests on his shoulder and gets up when Ayanokoji opens his eyes again. When pronouncing the evidence about the suspected perpetrator, the animal appears scowls on the shoulder and looks angry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Pome&#039;s Wonderful Life (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 8#File 048: Pome&#039;s Wonderful Life|48]], Anime: TBD) ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Name origin ==&lt;br /&gt;
The name &amp;quot;Maro&amp;quot;, revealed in file 1089, is believed to derive from the word &amp;quot;マロン&amp;quot; (Maron), which was borrowed from French into Japanese and means &amp;quot;chestnut&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;chestnut&amp;quot;. It could also derive from Ayanokoji&#039;s own first name &amp;quot;Fumimaro&amp;quot; (文麿).&lt;br /&gt;

Ayanokoji also shows up there with him. When the door opens, the attentive and shy chipmunk looks over there and hides in his jacket pocket in fear.

What began as an enjoyable day for Kogoro, Conan, and Ran, who is being interviewed for a potential job as a fashion model for Eiko Ashiya, a top fashion designer in Japan, soon turns deadly as Mika Taniguchi, Eiko&#039;s secretary, is found dead. All signs point to a simple break in, but Conan knows that not all is as it seems.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* There was a wrinkle on Mika’s sleeve, suggesting she was leaning against something during the time of her death.&lt;br /&gt;
* The shoe prints supposedly left by the culprit were too neat, as if the killer causally strolled around before leaving.&lt;br /&gt;
* Mika’s body was found lying on her back facing the elevator from outside, which is strange, because this means that her killer stabbed her from inside the elevator when the evidence proves otherwise.&lt;br /&gt;
* Flower pollen was found on a different floor, most likely from the bouquet Ran gave to Eiko.&lt;br /&gt;
* Eiko still had the shoes and gloves in her purse that she used to commit the murder with.&lt;br /&gt;
* Eiko somehow “deduced” how Mika was killed after witnessing a robbery in progress even though Conan never had a chance to investigate what had happened.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
The culprit is &#039;&#039;&#039;Eiko Ashiya&#039;&#039;&#039;. Through Kogoro, Conan reveals that Ashiya called Mika to come in the 15th floor and killed her, then placed her&#039;s body in the elevator with her back leaning on the door, and then sent her to the 8th floor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Ashiya confesses that she murdered Mika in vengeance for stealing her clothing designs and selling them to a rival company.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan, Ran, and Sonoko visit their old middle school music teacher, Sayuri Matsumoto, as she prepares for her wedding to Toshihiko Takasugi. Sayuri teases Conan because he reminds her of a boy she once taught. Conan manages to escape suspicion before too many parallels to Shinichi are noticed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Not everyone seems to be completely satisfied with Sayuri&#039;s marriage choice: a former student with a crush, Sayuri&#039;s doubting police father, and the groom&#039;s ex-girlfriend are all present. As Sonoko films the proceedings, Sayuri drinks from a can of her favorite lemon tea. She then collapses and is rushed to the hospital. The tea was spiked with a caustic substance.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;Conan found out who the criminal was and put Sonoko to sleep.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* By looking at the video Ran took, it showed that Sonoko had put her lemon tea right next to the victim&#039;s, and the criminal had put the poison in Sonoko&#039;s lemon tea instead of the one the victim had been drinking. Proof of this was the fact that Sonoko&#039;s fingerprints were all over the can, and that two of the people that had touched the can also had their fingerprints on it.&lt;br /&gt;
* The criminal had actually brought the capsule and the poison separately, put the capsule in the drink first, and put the poison afterwards, to make it look like the poison was put in 15 minutes before when it actually had been put in more recently.&lt;br /&gt;
* The only four people that had been near the can after it was switched was Sonoko, Ran, Conan, and the groom, Toshihiko Takasugi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
The criminal was &#039;&#039;&#039;Toshihiko Takasugi&#039;&#039;&#039;. Sonoko and Ran had never touched the can after the switch and once they exclude Conan, Takasugi and the victim herself are the only people that could of poisoned the lemon tea. It couldn&#039;t have been the victim because there was no container to hold the poison in or the drying agent. Those two things were needed to carry around sodium hydroxide - the poison used -because sodium hydroxide liquefies in a few minutes, and the victim was in the room the whole time. Thus, there would be no way to dispose of the container and drying agent outside in the hall where it was found.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
The motive was that superintendent Matsumoto had crashed into a suspect&#039;s car twenty years ago, and Takasugi&#039;s mother and only direct relative got caught in the crash.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Not seeing Takasugi&#039;s mother, Matsumoto told him to go away when he tried to tell him. 15 minutes later Takasugi&#039;s mother died on the street. Upon hearing this, Matsumoto admitted his share of guilt in the accident, but also added that once he learned about Takasugi&#039;s mother, he never forgave himself for inadvertently killing her. He did intend to apologize to Takasugi, but he had already moved away by then.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Takasugi was adopted by a rich family, and then destiny brought him back to Matsumoto and Sayuri. When he learned that his girlfriend was the superintendent&#039;s daughter, he was consumed by anger and bitterness, and wanted to kill her to show the superintendent how much it hurt to lose someone he cared for. Kazumi Takenaka, however, slapped Takasugi and told him that Sayuri&#039;s first love was a boy who loved lemon tea, and that she never forgot him after he moved away for undisclosed reasons. Once Sayuri started dating Takasugi and noticed he also drank lemon tea, she deduced what had happened in the past, therefore she &#039;&#039;did&#039;&#039; know that Takasugi was her lost first love, knew what he wanted to do to her, and &#039;&#039;willingly&#039;&#039; took the poison to atone for all the pain that transformed Takasugi from a kind boy to an embittered adult.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Later they were told that Sayuri&#039;s surgery was a success and that she was going to recover soon, even to the relief of Takasugi himself, who had genuinely repented from what he had done. He was given a light sentence due to Sayuri telling the judge about how she drank his poison voluntarily. Three years later, Sayuri and Takasugi rekindled their relationship, and they got married for real.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Translation changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Anime ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Sayuri Matsumoto - Catherine McLaughlin&lt;br /&gt;
:* Kazumi Takenaka - Celia Torres&lt;br /&gt;
:* Kiyonaga Matsumoto - Kristopher McLaughlin&lt;br /&gt;
:* Atsushi Umemiya - Johnny Umina&lt;br /&gt;
:* Toshihiko Takasugi - Tony Tsugi&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* In anime, Kazumi only bought two cans of lemon tea. In the manga, there were also a can of coffee and a can of oolong tea. Ran took the coffee while Conan took the oolong tea.&lt;br /&gt;
* Details about Umemiya being former council president and the fact that he performed on graduation day is not mentioned by Sonoko in anime version.&lt;br /&gt;
* In manga, Conan had to ask the police officer where he found the glass bottle containing the desiccant. In the anime, the police officer directly reports the location to Megure.&lt;br /&gt;
* Several scenes not adapated into the anime:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Conan directly asked Ran to call an ambulance, before proceeded to examine Sayuri&#039;s condition. He then deduced that the poison was sodium hydroxide. He first used oolong tea to rinse out Sayuri&#039;s mouth in an effort to neutralize the poison in her body, but this did not work, so he used the milk Ran bought. It is later stated that this bit of first aid may have been the reason to why Sayuri was discharged from the hospital sooner than anticipated. &lt;br /&gt;
:* Every suspects&#039; initial reactions when they heard that Sayuri collapsed are not present in the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Superintendant Matsumoto stop Takasugi, Sonoko, and Ran who wanted to ride the ambulance. Takasugi then asks Matsumoto if he should worry more about her daughter, which made Matsumoto have suspicion towards Takasugi.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;Conan confronts the elevator lady &#039;&#039;&#039;Ryoko&#039;&#039;&#039; and exposes her as the &#039;&#039;&#039;fifth member&#039;&#039;&#039; of the robber group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* As the remaining members were busy chasing after the Detective Boys on the upper floor, only she who was &amp;quot;confined&amp;quot; at the security room could&#039;ve activated the escalator to obstruct their escape.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ryoko&#039;s role in the robbery is to get employed in various department stores as an elevator lady in order to gather information and plan out the robbery, and by pretending to be one of the hostages no one would ever suspect her of being involved with the crime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unknown to Conan, Ryoko is not just a normal member of the robber group but is actually the &#039;&#039;&#039;leader of the gang&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Soon the robbers are arrested while Ran, Kogoro, and Megure watch the Detective Boys sleep. The next day, the Detective Boys receive a reward for catching the five robbers.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Remastered version ==&lt;br /&gt;
* A remastered version of this case was aired on October 31, 2015. Some dialogues between the Detective Boys were cut in order to fit the time slot. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Insert song: [[HAPPY END]], by [[ZIGGY]].&lt;br /&gt;
* According to the Detective Boys in [[The Mysterious Mole Alien Case#Trivia|The Mysterious Mole Alien Case]], this case happens a month before the current one they&#039;re in.&lt;br /&gt;
* The culprit shoots at Conan with a Beretta 8000 Cougar.&lt;br /&gt;
* The guards equipment is a Kenwood Walkie Talkie.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
*Denjiro Maru went to his cottage to meet with a visitor.&lt;br /&gt;
*Conan heard a strange sound.&lt;br /&gt;
*There were three calls from the phone.&lt;br /&gt;
*The killer is an expert swordsman.&lt;br /&gt;
*There is a small scar between the thumb and index finger of Yuji Suwa, meaning he is an expert swordsman.&lt;br /&gt;
*Denjiro Maru is holding his sword with his right hand while the picture is in his left hand, meaning that the killer moved the body.&lt;br /&gt;
*The carving that belongs to Makoto Akutsu is undamaged.&lt;br /&gt;
*At 4:30 Ikuya Hatano called saying that he is arriving at 5:00. At 4:41 Yuji Suwa called saying that he will arrive at 6:00. &lt;br /&gt;
*When Ineko Maru tries to get the key to the safe, it is in a different drawer than it was.&lt;br /&gt;
*All of the sword cuts that are larger are not connected on the drawer.&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
Using his gadgets to tranquilize Kogoro, Conan reveals that the killer is &#039;&#039;&#039;Yuji Suwa&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Suwa was fiddling with the answering machine to prove he wasn&#039;t the killer, with the last of his strength, Denjiro wrote Suwa&#039;s name on the drawers using the katana Suwa used to cut him in the first place as a dying message to prove he was the killer. When Suwa noticed this, he shuffled the drawers then added a few more markings so it couldn&#039;t be recognized, and marked the rest of the room so it wouldn&#039;t stand out, to erase a dying man’s message from the police&#039;s eyes.&lt;br /&gt;

}}     &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Suwa then charged at Kogoro with a sword to kill him, but stopped just when the sword was about to hit deep into Kogoro&#039;s head. Suwa claims Kogoro must be very brave to just stay still in the face of death. After Suwa was arrested however, Kogoro finally wakes up and notices a tiny drip of blood on his head and freaks out.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Suwa&#039;s family had an antique sword that was passed down from generation to generation, but Denjiro sold it and mockingly told him that it was barely worth anything when he sold it. Suwa couldn&#039;t control his anger knowing that Denjiro sold his family heirloom, and in his rage he grabbed a katana that was behind him and cut Denjiro down.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
Because this one episode case was adapted from four manga chapters, several scenes were shortened or removed.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Denjiro is shouting a couple times for someone to greet the visitor at the door before realizing he gave the staff time off and sent them out due to having a detective over. Kogoro asks if his wife was told to leave as well with Denjiro mentioning that she left at noon for a Koto lesson, though he&#039;s disbelieving due to the photo. Afterwards, he leaves to greet his visitor while mentally cursing Ineko. In the anime, Denjiro simply calls for someone to answer the door once before realizing that his staff is out and simply goes to greet the visitor.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Conan also points out that the culprit must escaped through the backgate after committing the murder, this part it omitted in the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Conan and Ran realize that Hatano was lying about watching movie &amp;quot;[[The Santa Claus of Summer]]&amp;quot; during the time of murder, and Ineko reveals shortly afterward that she has been having an affair with him, providing their affair disguises as evidences. In the anime, Conan tips off Kogoro immediately about Hatano having the same perfume smell as Ineko, with Kogoro announcing that Hatano is Ineko&#039;s affair partner instead of Ineko herself.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Conan temporary removes Suwa from the suspect list along side Kogoro due to him supposedly being framed before the resolution. This is not the case in the anime where he still considers Suwa as a suspect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

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&#039;s window, covered in blood.

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&#039;s frustration.&lt;br /&gt;

==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* When Tomofumi arrives home, a small leaf falls out from his slipper.&lt;br /&gt;
* While the police are there, Tomofumi abruptly answers the phone when it does not ring audibly, only with a flashing light.&lt;br /&gt;
* The tree outside the room where Kazuyoshi was sleeping leads to a culvert with a ledge that one person could stand and walk on.&lt;br /&gt;
* After sunset, the curtains of the room Kazuyoshi is in haven&#039;t been drawn, and he hasn&#039;t moved from the chair.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Resolution ====&lt;br /&gt;
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 &#039;&#039;&#039;Tomofumi Tanaka&#039;&#039;&#039; murdered. Between when the kids saw the body and when the police arrived, he cleaned the body and set it up in the room as if it were watching TV, then answered the door &#039;&#039;as&#039;&#039; his brother. After establishing the presence of Kazuyoshi, he went into the bedroom with the 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&#039;s request was set to turn off by timer, rather than remote, and Kazuyoshi&#039;s voice was simulated by Tomofumi&#039;s voice on the phone&#039;s answering machine, which Tomofumi dialed using the cell phone hidden in his pocket.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
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.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* The manga version of the story takes place before [[Ayumi-chan Kidnapping Case]], and is the first story with the Detective Boys&#039; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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&#039;s pain is not depicted in the anime episode.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

:* Tomofumi Tanaka - Hadrian Timberman&lt;br /&gt;

While fishing, Conan and the Detective Boys spot a sniper shooting a balloon tied to a remote controlled boat on the river. This sniper is held at gunpoint by other men.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
The Detective Boys go to find these men but when they get to their location, the gunmen have left.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan finds a calculator under a small concrete block which he believes was left behind by the sniper. Kogoro, Ran, and Conan, joined by the Detective Boys, find a stretch of road that mirrors the river used for the test. They call the police and find out that the sniper, Koichi Yamabe, and his girlfriend, Eri, were recently reported missing. However, while waiting for the criminals to arrive at the supposed sniping spot, Conan realizes that the numbers on the calculator, when read upside down, spell out a different message entirely.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* The sniper left behind a calculator with the numbers 3,135,134,162 on the screen.&lt;br /&gt;
* The sniper&#039;s test was held at about one o&#039;clock in the afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Ran suggested that the numbers 162 might be a road, Kogoro declared that the shape of the river might be similar to the bends of the road for the sniping site.&lt;br /&gt;
* When Conan saw the numbers upside down when Mitsuhiko was typing them into a calculator, the numbers could be read as &amp;quot;291 Heisei E&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Resolution ====&lt;br /&gt;
The sniper that Conan saw was &#039;&#039;&#039;Koichi Yamabe&#039;&#039;&#039;, a police officer and former rifle marksman of Japan&#039;s Olympic team. He and his girlfriend, Eri, were abducted by the criminals while on vacation. The criminals held Eri hostage so that Koichi would work for them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the criminals didn&#039;t arrive at the site on Saitama Route 162, Conan and the Detective Boys tried reexamining the code. As Mitsuhiko punched in the numbers into his calculator, Conan accidentally saw that when upside down, the numbers can be read as &amp;quot;291 Heisei E&amp;quot;. The decoded message points to the one o&#039;clock train on February 9th of the Heisei Express train. The shape of the river turns out to mirror a double-curve in the train tracks of the Express. The criminals want Koichi to shoot someone inside the train and the balloon was just an accuracy test. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Conan sneaks into the helicopter taking Inspector Megure to the train line. Before Koichi can assassinate the target, Inspector Megure instructs the pilot to swoop down and distract the criminals. Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] to kick his helmet towards their leader before he can shoot Koichi. Koichi is able to take down the remaining criminals and save Eri from harm.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
The criminals were former members of a {{nihongo|Tiger gang|オニトラ|Onitora}} whose leaders were caught in a sting operation last year. They wanted revenge on the district attorney who set up the operation, and planned to shoot him while he was on his way back from a vacation with his family.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* The Heisei Express train in real-life is the Keisei Express train named the [[Wikipedia: Keisei AE series (1972)|Keisei AE series (1972)]].&lt;br /&gt;
* Megure, Ran, Kogoro, and the Detective Boys delivery van is a 1986 Toyota Quick Delivery 200.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Translation changes ===&lt;br /&gt;
* While Eri is merely Koichi&#039;s girlfriend, the [[Funimation]] changes their relationship to husband and wife.&lt;br /&gt;
* The names of the characters and places in the Funimation Dub are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Heisei Express - Soho Express&lt;br /&gt;
:* Route 162 - Highway 162&lt;br /&gt;
:* Kyoto - Ruffleton&lt;br /&gt;
:* Koichi Yamabe - Charles Mulligan&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Okita.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan found the criminal mastermind, Okita.]]&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* Judging from the bruises from Kenzo&#039;s neck, the killer was a large man.&lt;br /&gt;
* Masami&#039;s glasses were found in the crime scene.&lt;br /&gt;
* Because of Conan&#039;s tracking button believed to be in Masami&#039;s watch, Akira was found dead due to cyanide poisoning (sleeping pills) in the hotel.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Resolution ====&lt;br /&gt;
The three Hirotas were the criminals involved in the &#039;&#039;&#039;1 Billion Yen Robbery Case&#039;&#039;&#039;. 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 &#039;&#039;&#039;fake identities&#039;&#039;&#039; - Masami and Akira. When found, Akira killed Kenzo and made it look like suicide. He broke his watch while doing so that&#039;s why Masami gave him hers. But the real mastermind of the 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case was &#039;&#039;&#039;Okita&#039;&#039;&#039;. The poison that killed Akira may have originally been intended for Masami.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
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&#039;t pay lots of attention to her at first, but Conan soon realises that she is &#039;&#039;&#039;Masami Hirota&#039;&#039;&#039;, carrying the stolen money in said suitcases and probably about to meet the mastermind.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Masami confronts Okita and angrily asks him why he tricked her into giving Akira the poisoned drink and killing him. Okita says Akira was too dumb to handle such a large quantity of money. After drawing his gun he adds that he will also kill Masami to silence her and take all the money. Conan steps in and uses his Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes to kick a can into Okita&#039;s torso, and another time into his face, knocking him out. Masami asks him who he is, and Conan calmly tells her &amp;quot;I&#039;m Conan Edogawa, and I&#039;m a detective!&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* 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&#039;s existence and that they dress in black. Her death is the motive of [[Shiho Miyano]]&#039;s defection which leads to [[Ai Haibara]]&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
** In 2016, the anime special [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small]] was released. It finishes with a rendition of Akemi&#039;s death that follows the manga rather than the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode marks the introduction of a new image for the &amp;quot;next episode&amp;quot; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* The spy&#039;s car is a gray Toyota Corolla AE100.&lt;br /&gt;
* Kenzo Hirota drives a white Toyota Crown taxi.&lt;br /&gt;
* At the end of the episode, Conan&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
* Although the [[Black Organization]] was involved in the manga version of this episode, the anime version has Okita take over Gin and Vodka&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Translation changes ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Masami Hirota - Michelle Hamlin/Kendra Miyano&lt;br /&gt;
:* Kenzo Hirota - Kent Hamlin&lt;br /&gt;
:* Kenzo&#039;s cats: Kai, Tei, Gou &amp;amp; Ou - Kent&#039;s cats: Tea, Pair, Eyes &amp;amp; Prose&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
** Just outside the park, Conan saw two men who hurriedly left in a white car.&lt;br /&gt;
** Inside the trunk were paper bags with lots of money inside.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayumi found a saw covered in a slippery fluid.&lt;br /&gt;
** Ayumi discovered a girl&#039;s head wrapped in newspaper.&lt;br /&gt;
** The suspects were heard talking about ransom money and killing the girl who saw their faces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
Turns out, the kidnappers were &#039;&#039;&#039;stage actors for a mystery play&#039;&#039;&#039;, 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&#039;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, &amp;quot;I am never playing hide and seek again!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* 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]].&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Insert song: [[Soba ni Iru Kara]], by [[↑THE HIGH-LOWS↓]].&lt;br /&gt;
* The two kidnappers drive a white Toyota Crown S140.&lt;br /&gt;
* A remastered version of the case was aired on June 27, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;

Despite thinking the letter is a poor prank, Kogoro decides to investigate and finds the island is holding mayoral elections. 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.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;First murder&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
::Victim: Hideo Kawashima&lt;br /&gt;
::Cause of death: Drowning&lt;br /&gt;
::Location: Piano room&lt;br /&gt;
::Time of death: 30 minutes – 1 hour before being found&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:* The first movement of the Moonlight Sonata was played from a tape recorder.&lt;br /&gt;
:* There was a sea water trail from the door to Kawashima&#039;s body, and he had dirt and sand on the back of his shirt.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Kawashima&#039;s jacket was found on the beach.&lt;br /&gt;
:* The doors and windows of the piano room were locked from the inside. &lt;br /&gt;
:* There were several minutes of silence at the beginning of the tape.&lt;br /&gt;
:* The Moonlight Sonata sheet music was found, but the notes in the fourth bar were &amp;quot;strange&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Conan decoded that the “strange” notes actually say: &amp;quot;The hellfire of hatred made you pay.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Second murder&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
::Victim: Tatsuji Kuroiwa&lt;br /&gt;
::Cause of death: Stabbing&lt;br /&gt;
::Location: Broadcasting room&lt;br /&gt;
::Time of death: 5 minutes and 30 seconds before being found&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[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&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;quot;You realize it don&#039;t you? You&#039;re next.&amp;quot; (&amp;quot;Wakatteru na? Tsugi ha omae no ban da.&amp;quot;)]]&lt;br /&gt;
:* The second movement of the Moonlight Sonata was played.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Nishimoto discovered the body.&lt;br /&gt;
:* The first 5 minutes and 30 seconds of the tape are silent. &lt;br /&gt;
:* Music notes written with the victim&#039;s blood were found.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Conan decoded the music notes: &amp;quot;You realize it don&#039;t you? You&#039;re next.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Third murder&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
::Victim: Ken Nishimoto&lt;br /&gt;
::Cause of death: Hanging&lt;br /&gt;
::Location: Storage room&lt;br /&gt;
::Time of death: 30 minutes before being found&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:* The third movement of the Moonlight Sonata was set to play.&lt;br /&gt;
:* 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&#039;t want people to find out the wrongdoing they did years ago.&lt;br /&gt;
:* There was no chair or anything to stand on, so Nishimoto couldn&#039;t have hanged himself.&lt;br /&gt;
:* No one would bother writing a suicide note in code.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:&#039;&#039;&#039;Other incriminating evidence&#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
:* The dusty piano in the city hall was tuned perfectly.&lt;br /&gt;
:* After the first murder, there was someone outside the piano room whom Conan and Kogoro failed to catch.&lt;br /&gt;
:* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
:* After the third murder, Conan returned to the piano room and found a tuning hammer for the piano.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Under the piano was a secret drawer with cocaine in it.&lt;br /&gt;
:* 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&#039;s neck.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Conan found that Hirata had powder-like substance under his sleeves and his left hand was bandaged. He also had lots of foreign money with him.&lt;br /&gt;
:* Keiji Asoh left sheet music in his safe to which it read: &amp;quot;To my son, Seiji&amp;quot;. 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
The person who knocked out Murasawa in the piano room was &#039;&#039;&#039;Kazuaki Hirata&#039;&#039;&#039;. 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&#039;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&#039;t have related the piano to the crimes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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&#039;t smear, even 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 lit near Kuroiwa&#039;s neck.  But after the body was moved, the light was turned off. This was actually the reverse button. While the police weren&#039;t looking, the killer turned off the light. The killer used the reverse side (the blank side that didn&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the third murder, the killer didn&#039;t have the time to put a chair or desk at Nishimoto&#039;s feet because he had to escape in time. The killer was probably male because the murders required a lot of physical strength.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan deduced that the killer was &#039;&#039;&#039;Narumi Asai&#039;&#039;&#039; and that she was, in fact, Asoh&#039;s aforementioned son, &#039;&#039;&#039;Seiji Asoh&#039;&#039;&#039;. 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&#039;s name could be read as either &amp;quot;Seiji&amp;quot; (a male-only name) or &amp;quot;Narumi&amp;quot; (a female-only name): coupled with Asoh&#039;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&#039;d make him last for questioning, keeping the &amp;quot;disguise&amp;quot; intact.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Conan-through-Kogoro is explaining all of this, the police suddenly comes in and say that Seiji/Narumi had escaped. As they look for him, the community center building suddenly goes 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan, carrying Asoh&#039;s last music sheets with his message for the then-young Seiji, managed to slip in and tells Seiji, who was sitting at the piano, to keep on living. Seiji confirmed that he was the young boy who escaped his family&#039;s murder, plus everything that Conan-through-Kogoro had already said (explained below in &amp;quot;Motive&amp;quot;). When Seiji is done, Conan insists that he should escape and live; Seiji refuses, however, saying that he was already too bloodstained. Then, he grabs Conan and throws him through the window, saving his life. Afterwards, he plays one last music code message in the burning flames: &amp;quot;Thank you, little detective&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Seiji&#039;s motive dated back when his father, the pianist Keiji Asoh, and his family was murdered. Kawashima, Nishimoto, Kuroiwa, and Kameyama used Asoh&#039;s international concerts as a front for their international drug trade. When Asoh stated that he wouldn&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seiji went back to the island, under his &amp;quot;Narumi&amp;quot; disguise, because he never believed the official &amp;quot;Keiji Asoh killed his family and himself&amp;quot; version and wanted to find out the truth. As said above, when he told Kameyama that he was Asoh&#039;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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Seiji&#039;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&#039;t just a challenge - that deep down, Seiji &#039;&#039;wanted&#039;&#039; Kogoro to stop him.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
When Conan comes back home, he finds a hesitant-looking female student in front of Mouri Detective Agency&#039;s office. He asks her to come inside the agency, seeing as she wants to talk with Kogoro. The girl in question, named Ryoko Akagi, asks Kogoro to find a missing person.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Ryoko claims that she and Shinichi were in a relationship, which leads Conan to doubt her, since they didn&#039;t really know each other. Agasa calls the agency&#039;s phone to ask Conan about his new gadget. Conan pretends that it was Shinichi who called, and says he will contact Ryoko later. Ran insists on going to Ryoko&#039;s home so she might catch Shinichi, forcing Conan to go alongside her as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At Ryoko&#039;s apartment, Conan finds several clues that lead him to believe Ryoko doesn&#039;t actually live there, and there&#039;s a kidnapping involved. Conan figures out Ryoko pretended to be Shinichi&#039;s girlfriend to get contact with him quickly, as an alternative to calling the police. He decides to call Ryoko as Shinichi using [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] and the [[Portable Bento Box Fax]] that Agasa gave him earlier to ask about the case. At the same time, Conan tries to not get his real identity exposed to Ran, as she was furious about him &#039;supposedly&#039; having a girlfriend without her knowing.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* The letter written by Mamoru was worded very strangely, and there were spots of ink next to the text.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan found a video game called Onimaru Quest inside the ransacked room. In the game, there are four characters named &#039;&#039;&#039;Mamoru&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Hideo&#039;&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;&#039;Ryoko&#039;&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;&#039;Naoki&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
** According to the Detective Boys, there is a point in Onimaru Quest where the main character dies and have to be resurrected to continue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
Conan deduced that &#039;Naoki&#039; in the game was likely named after &#039;&#039;&#039;Naoki Uemura&#039;&#039;&#039;, a soccer player who joined the Tokyo Spirits a year ago and is a good friend of Hideo. He is known to like video games.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He then deduced that Mamoru was not kidnapped, but instead was with Naoki Uemura, which made the situation look like it was a kidnapping. The letter that Mamoru left must have been a part of the whole letter saying that he was going to Naoki&#039;s apartment to have his main character resurrected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan, Ran and Ryoko rush to Naoki&#039;s place, where they Mamoru there unharmed. After everything is cleared up, Ran tries to find Shinichi since she believes he&#039;s nearby. Conan ends up having to pull a trick with Agasa&#039;s help to disguise himself as Shinichi for a moment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Naoki envied Hideo because even though their skills were pretty much the same, Hideo was still more popular than he was. He came close to surpassing Hideo, but during one of their practices, Hideo accidentally injured his leg. Naoki thought that Hideo did it on purpose so he wouldn&#039;t be able to play.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Naoki didn&#039;t plan to hurt Mamoru to begin with however. He planned to send Mamoru home after the soccer finals and then disappear afterward. When he hears that Hideo dedicates his goals of the night to him (without knowing that he was the one who &#039;kidnapped&#039; Mamoru), however, Naoki realises that Hideo cherishes him, and is brought to tears.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, the [[Detective Boys]]&#039; conversation about the soccer match occurs while they are walking home from school, while the anime has them discussing it while sitting down on a park bench. Additionally, the scene in the manga ends on Conan reflecting how he&#039;d be playing soccer on his high school fields if not for the [[Black Organization|men in black]] poisoning him, with a brief background appearance by [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Ran later finds out about the ransacked room and had Conan clean up the room. This does not happen in the anime.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, the story ends with a narrative exposition of Conan mentioning that it took three days before Ran accepted Ryoko&#039;s explanation of Shinichi&#039;s presence. The anime ends with the narration following the discussion in question back at the Detective Agency.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Onimaru]] appears as cameo in a DVD cover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Translation changes ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Ryoko - Riana&lt;br /&gt;
:* Mamoru Akagi - Matthias Acres&lt;br /&gt;
:* Naoki Uemura - Nicholas Underwood&lt;br /&gt;
:* Hideo Akagi - Harrison Acres&lt;br /&gt;
:* Tadeka - Vasquez&lt;br /&gt;

=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
During the night of the Tenkaichi Festival at the Okeyama Hotel, an author named Satoru Imatake is brushing his teeth in the bathroom, and his friend, Norikazu Sasai is making a mess. When he checks on Sasai, he is confused about Sasai being dressed up weird, and sees that the hotel room was a big mess. Sasai raises his gun to aim at Imatake&#039;s forehead and shoots him. He also takes his money from his wallet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He leaves the hotel room and flees out of the hotel. He throws away his gun, coat, and his glasses, and keeps his disposable camera.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While at the Tenkaichi Festival, Ran, Conan, and Kogoro are having a good time. Sasai just finally arrives at the festival while sweating. He finds Ran and asks her to take a picture of him behind the background of the mountain on which the character &amp;quot;Ichi&amp;quot; is written. Sasai gives the camera to Ran and she takes a picture. He tells Ran that he&#039;s collecting an archive based on the theme &amp;quot;Local Festivals&amp;quot;, which includes the photo that Ran took. Ran realizes that he&#039;s an author. Sasai also tells her that he used to write under the pen name &amp;quot;Tomokazu Imai&amp;quot;, and Ran is excited, since she read his books while in junior high. Kogoro thinks it&#039;s strange and mentions that that name was used by Satoru Imatake when he made his debut. Sasai tells them that he&#039;s a friend of Imatake, and plans to drink in celebration for Imatake&#039;s Naomoto award. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sasai starts sweating more because he&#039;s wearing a jacket. After the conversation, Sasai asks Ran if she could take more pictures of him around the festival and Ran doesn&#039;t mind at all. While she&#039;s taking pictures of Sasai, a man appears behind him. The man&#039;s name is Yokomizo, a policeman. Yokomizo reveals Imatake has been murdered in the hotel room where he and Sasai are staying, and takes Sasai in for questioning. Conan, Ran and Kogoro follow them.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* Imatake was found dead with traces of toothpaste on his mouth and a toothbrush lying on the ground near him. His wallet was empty and the room was ransacked.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasai was the primary suspect, but he had an alibi. In his disposable camera, there were pictures of him at the festival; and the festival events coincided with the time the killing took place.&lt;br /&gt;
* Sasai, for some odd reason, kept his heavy clothes on, although it is plainly obvious that he was sweaty from the heat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
Conan, aiding Inspector Yokomizo through Kogoro Mouri, proved that it wasn&#039;t just a simple case of robbery and that &#039;&#039;&#039;Norikazu Sasai&#039;&#039;&#039; was indeed the killer. Imatake was murdered while brushing his teeth, an act done without inhibitions in front of people whom a person is very familiar with. The bad condition of the room was evidence enough that the robbery was a setup, for the killer fled the scene right away after the gun was fired. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pictures that were seemingly taken that night proving Sasai&#039;s innocence were actually taken from the past Tenkaichi festival. In the picture, his wrist was captured without its current watch tan line. He also did not change his clothes to create his alibi, as he wanted his clothes to match what he wearing in the photos taken years ago.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Over a year ago, Sasai felt ridiculed when the more well-known writer Imatake&#039;s work was chosen to be published over his at the last minute. Imatake apparently became famous when he won an award for a book that they co-wrote, while Sasai wasn&#039;t credited for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sasai planned the murder so that he could take Imatake&#039;s place as top writer in the literary world.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the first case that we see the culprit&#039;s actions early as the main characters, as the mystery is to determinate how&#039;s Sasai is the culprit who&#039;s behind the murder of his friend Imatake.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

{{nihongo|&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;{{PAGENAME}}&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;|美術館オーナー殺人事件|Bijutsukan Ōnā Satsujin Jiken}}, known in English as &#039;&#039;&#039;The Art Museum Murder Case&#039;&#039;&#039; in Funimation&#039;s version, is the 8th episode of &#039;&#039;[[Detective Conan]]&#039;&#039; [[anime]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It adapts the [[Volume 4#Museum Owner Murder Case|Museum Owner Murder Case]]&amp;lt;sup&amp;gt;(ch 30-32)&amp;lt;/sup&amp;gt; of the [[Manga|original manga]]. It was first aired in February 26, 1996, while the remastered version was aired in January 21, 2017.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this episode, [[Conan]], [[Ran]] and [[Kogoro]] go to visit the Beika Art Museum. However, they find out that its owner has been murdered, so Conan had to find who did it.&lt;br /&gt;

== Case ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
Two security guards at the Beika Art Museum see a medieval suit of armor moving on its own. Ran hears the rumor and wants to visit the museum; when Conan and Kogoro mock her for believing it might be true, she forces them to come along after her fearsome display of smashing Kogoro&#039;s desk with her fist. While admiring a painting, Ran meets Ochiai, the curator of the museum, who explains his love for the art and then berates a museum worker named Kubota for not handling a painting properly. Another worker, Iijima, takes over the job before they are interrupted by the museum&#039;s new owner, Manaka, arriving with an architect. The museum will be demolished soon to make a casino, despite the sale having hinged on the promise to keep the museum open. After Kubota accidentally drops a helmet, Manaka mentions his plans to sell all the museum pieces, which frustrates Kubota enough to throw it down after, but Conan notices that Ochiai doesn&#039;t lecture Kubota this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan, Kogoro and Ran visit the rest of the museum. As they are about to leave, Ran notices a previously closed gallery has reopened and convinces the other two to come along. In the &amp;quot;Hell Gallery&amp;quot; they first see a large painting of a knight having stabbed a demon in the name of justice, as the wrath of heaven. Ran then hears a dripping sound and turns to find that Manaka has been pinned to the opposite wall by a sword through the throat.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Megure arrives to investigate, and he, Kogoro, and Conan check the surveillance cameras to see if the culprit was recorded. However, the murderer had been lying in wait in the guise of a knight&#039;s suit of armor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The surveillance camera caught all of Manaka&#039;s brutal murder, multiple stabbings ending with him pinned to the wall and the knight walking away, towards the camera — exactly like, Kogoro and Conan realize, the painting in the gallery. Because the gallery was blocked off at 4 p.m. but re-opened by 5 p.m., and the video timestamps set the murder at about 4:30 p.m., Inspector Megure deduces that the murderer must be a museum worker. Conan also notices that Manaka tried to write something on a piece of paper between the first attack and his death; while he threw the pen away, the paper remains crumpled in his hand, and names Kubota as the killer. Kubota has no alibi as Ochiai had him doing a task in the office, where he was alone. He has motive because, as Iijima reveals, the owner wanted Kubota to repay the money he&#039;d made selling pieces off secretly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan finds a pen on the ground, which anyone in the museum could have forgotten on the table. It matches the video image and has ink, so Inspector Megure concludes that it was the pen Manaka used. Kubota is detained as they wait for the suit of armor to be found. Conan is unsatisfied with Kubota&#039;s apparent carelessness and why he would mirror a painting when he has no great love for art. He&#039;s also not sure if he&#039;s really the suspect. When Conan went back to the surveillance camera room, he lies to the police officers that Inspector Megure needs help. When the police officers leave, he gets the chance to watch the surveillance footage one more time. He notices that Manaka looks shocked when he sees the paper he writes on, and realizes that the pen Conan found had its point retracted, when there wouldn&#039;t have been reason or time for Manaka to retract it before throwing it away. Conan tricks his way into re-examining the dying message, and finds inkless scribbles over the original writing. The police find the armor in Kubota&#039;s locker, but Conan has figured out the truth and knows the murderer&#039;s trick.&lt;br /&gt;

{{People|Iijima|Iijima.jpg|&lt;br /&gt;
* Beika Art Museum staff}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{People|Manaka|Manaka.jpg|&lt;br /&gt;

* Beika Art Museum owner}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{EndBox}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* The security camera recorded Manaka as he seemingly waited for someone. Suddenly, with agility and precision, the relic knight appeared behind him and struck him in the back with its sword. While it prepared to strike again, the owner barely managed to grab a tag from a painting display and a pen that was left right below the art tags, and wrote something down and threw the pen away. The knight slashed him once more and, with a final thrust, ended his life.&lt;br /&gt;
* Inspector Megure and Kogoro found a museum staff member&#039;s name, Kubota, written on the crumpled paper in Manaka&#039;s hand.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan also found the pen on the floor nearby at the armor display.&lt;br /&gt;
* The bloodied suit of armor was discovered in Kubota&#039;s locker.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan noticed that the pen had its point retracted, the crumpled paper had inkless pen marks on it, and that the artwork tags were in the room, but the pieces weren&#039;t. Certainly, Kubota, who didn&#039;t seem to have a penchant for the arts, wouldn&#039;t have thought to protect those from being damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan viewed the security footage one more time and noticed that when Manaka took the tag and looked at it, he was shocked by what he saw on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
Manaka was scheduled to have a meeting with &#039;&#039;&#039;Ochiai&#039;&#039;&#039;, the art museum director. Little did the owner know that the director had planned for his death. Ochiai dressed himself with the suit of armor, strategically placed the tag with Kubota&#039;s name written on it and the pen with which Manaka apparently used to write the note, and then murdered Manaka medieval style. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the little eye of justice had tricks of his own. Conan pulled an &amp;quot;innocent&amp;quot; act of wanting the directions to the toilet be written down by Ochiai. And before the director knew it, he drew the inkless pen from his pocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
In the hopes of getting the art museum to stay open, the previous owner who got bankrupt sold the museum to Manaka. Manaka, however, was consumed by his own greed and planned to convert the building into a casino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ochiai was not going to let it happen as he considered the artworks as his children. He killed Manaka to prevent the inevitable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And as for Kubota, Ochiai thought it just right to punish the person who had been selling the museum’s art relics and pieces secretly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ochiai also stated that although he committed the murder mimicking the painting of the Heroic Knight killing the Devil. There was more to the story; after the Heroic Knight killed the Devil, he became soaked in the Devil&#039;s tainted blood, causing him to become what he tried to destroy.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* In the anime, Ran smashes Kogoro&#039;s desk to make him and Conan come to the museum. In the manga, she smashes a storage locker.&lt;br /&gt;
* At the end of the case in the manga version, Kogoro Mouri is shown reading a newspaper article about himself because he helped the police solve the murder of the museum&#039;s owner. This marks the first claim to fame of Kogoro. In the anime version, this is replaced with a scene of the Detective Boys discussing about the aftermath of the museum, and their plan of investigating a case about a &amp;quot;moving skeleton&amp;quot; at night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Divine Punishment&amp;quot; is modeled after the archangel Michael as he&#039;s casting a demon out of Heaven.&lt;br /&gt;
* In &amp;quot;Detective Conan: Episode Selections&amp;quot; Crunchyroll version of the [[Episode 7|previous episode]], it features the dubbed preview for this episode with [[Case Closed##Studio Nano|Studio Nano]] cast. While the episode aren&#039;t released in the selection, it&#039;s confirmed that it would be titled as &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;The Case of the Art Museum Owner&#039;s Murder&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
** Currently, it is unknown if this episode would get an official release with Studio Nano&#039;s English dub.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Translation changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Funimation dub ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Ochiai - Mr. O&#039;Donnell&lt;br /&gt;
:* Iijima - Isaac&lt;br /&gt;
:* Manaka - Bruce Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
* While Manaka and Kubota retain their names in the English Dub, they are named Morrison and Kowalski respectively in the ending credits.&lt;br /&gt;

== Case ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
Two security guards at the Beika Art Museum see a medieval suit of armor moving on its own. Ran hears the rumor and wants to visit the museum; when Conan and Kogoro mock her for believing it might be true, she forces them to come along after her fearsome display of smashing Kogoro&#039;s desk with her fist. While admiring a painting, Ran meets Ochiai, the curator of the museum, who explains his love for the art and then berates a museum worker named Kubota for not handling a painting properly. Another worker, Iijima, takes over the job before they are interrupted by the museum&#039;s new owner, Manaka, arriving with an architect. The museum will be demolished soon to make a casino, despite the sale having hinged on the promise to keep the museum open. After Kubota accidentally drops a helmet, Manaka mentions his plans to sell all the museum pieces, which frustrates Kubota enough to throw it down after, but Conan notices that Ochiai doesn&#039;t lecture Kubota this time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan, Kogoro and Ran visit the rest of the museum. As they are about to leave, Ran notices a previously closed gallery has reopened and convinces the other two to come along. In the &amp;quot;Hell Gallery&amp;quot; they first see a large painting of a knight having stabbed a demon in the name of justice, as the wrath of heaven. Ran then hears a dripping sound and turns to find that Manaka has been pinned to the opposite wall by a sword through the throat.&lt;br /&gt;

}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Inspector Megure arrives to investigate, and he, Kogoro, and Conan check the surveillance cameras to see if the culprit was recorded. However, the murderer had been lying in wait in the guise of a knight&#039;s suit of armor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The surveillance camera caught all of Manaka&#039;s brutal murder, multiple stabbings ending with him pinned to the wall and the knight walking away, towards the camera — exactly like, Kogoro and Conan realize, the painting in the gallery. Because the gallery was blocked off at 4 p.m. but re-opened by 5 p.m., and the video timestamps set the murder at about 4:30 p.m., Inspector Megure deduces that the murderer must be a museum worker. Conan also notices that Manaka tried to write something on a piece of paper between the first attack and his death; while he threw the pen away, the paper remains crumpled in his hand, and names Kubota as the killer. Kubota has no alibi as Ochiai had him doing a task in the office, where he was alone. He has motive because, as Iijima reveals, the owner wanted Kubota to repay the money he&#039;d made selling pieces off secretly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan finds a pen on the ground, which anyone in the museum could have forgotten on the table. It matches the video image and has ink, so Inspector Megure concludes that it was the pen Manaka used. Kubota is detained as they wait for the suit of armor to be found. Conan is unsatisfied with Kubota&#039;s apparent carelessness and why he would mirror a painting when he has no great love for art. He&#039;s also not sure if he&#039;s really the suspect. When Conan went back to the surveillance camera room, he lies to the police officers that Inspector Megure needs help. When the police officers leave, he gets the chance to watch the surveillance footage one more time. He notices that Manaka looks shocked when he sees the paper he writes on, and realizes that the pen Conan found had its point retracted, when there wouldn&#039;t have been reason or time for Manaka to retract it before throwing it away. Conan tricks his way into re-examining the dying message, and finds inkless scribbles over the original writing. The police find the armor in Kubota&#039;s locker, but Conan has figured out the truth and knows the murderer&#039;s trick.&lt;br /&gt;

{{People|Iijima|Iijima.jpg|&lt;br /&gt;
* Beika Art Museum staff}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{People|Manaka|Manaka.jpg|&lt;br /&gt;

* Beika Art Museum owner}}&lt;br /&gt;
{{EndBox}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* The security camera recorded Manaka as he seemingly waited for someone. Suddenly, with agility and precision, the relic knight appeared behind him and struck him in the back with its sword. While it prepared to strike again, the owner barely managed to grab a tag from a painting display and a pen that was left right below the art tags, and wrote something down and threw the pen away. The knight slashed him once more and with a final thrust ended his life.&lt;br /&gt;
* Inspector Megure and Kogoro found a museum staff member&#039;s name, Kubota, written on the crumpled paper in Manaka&#039;s hand.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan also found the pen on the floor nearby at the armor display.&lt;br /&gt;
* The bloodied suit of armor was discovered in Kubota&#039;s locker.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan noticed that the pen had its point retracted, the crumpled paper had inkless pen marks on it, and that the artwork tags were in the room, but the pieces weren&#039;t. Certainly, Kubota, who didn&#039;t seem to have a penchant for the arts, wouldn&#039;t have thought to protect those from being damaged.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan viewed the security footage one more time and noticed that when Manaka took the tag and looked at it, he was shocked by what he saw on it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
Manaka was scheduled to have a meeting with &#039;&#039;&#039;Ochiai&#039;&#039;&#039;, the art museum director. Little did the owner know that the director had planned for his death. Ochiai dressed himself with the suit of armor, strategically placed the tag with Kubota&#039;s name written on it and the pen with which Manaka apparently used to write the note, and then murdered Manaka medieval style. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But the little eye of justice had tricks of his own. Conan pulled an &amp;quot;innocent&amp;quot; act of wanting the directions to the toilet be written down by Ochiai. And before the director knew it, he drew the inkless pen from his pocket.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
In the hopes of getting the art museum to stay open, the previous owner who got bankrupt sold the museum to Manaka. Manaka, however, was consumed by his own greed and planned to convert the building into a casino.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ochiai was not going to let it happen as he considered the artworks as his children. He killed Manaka to prevent the inevitable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And as for Kubota, Ochiai thought it just right to punish the person who had been selling the museum’s art relics and pieces secretly.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ochiai also stated that although he committed the murder mimicking the painting of the Heroic Knight killing the Devil. There was more to the story, after the Heroic Knight killed the Devil he became soaked in the Devil&#039;s tainted blood causing him to become what he tried to destroy.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* In the anime, Ran smashes Kogoro&#039;s desk to make him and Conan come to the museum. In the manga, she smashes a storage locker.&lt;br /&gt;
* At the end of the case in the manga version, Kogoro Mouri is shown reading a newspaper article about himself because he helped the police solve the murder of the museum&#039;s owner. This marks the first claim to fame of Kogoro. In the anime version, this is replaced with a scene of the Detective Boys discussing about the aftermath of the museum, and their plan of investigating a case about a &amp;quot;moving skeleton&amp;quot; at night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* &amp;quot;Divine Punishment&amp;quot; is modeled after the archangel Michael as he&#039;s casting a demon out of Heaven.&lt;br /&gt;
* In &amp;quot;Detective Conan: Episode Selections&amp;quot; Crunchyroll version of the [[Episode 7|previous episode]], it features the dubbed preview for this episode with [[Case Closed##Studio Nano|Studio Nano]] cast. While the episode aren&#039;t released in the selection, it&#039;s confirmed that it would be titled as &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;The Case of the Art Museum Owner&#039;s Murder&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
** Currently, it is unknown if this episode would get an official release with Studio Nano&#039;s English dub.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Translation changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Funimation dub ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Ochiai - Mr. O&#039;Donnell&lt;br /&gt;
:* Iijima - Isaac&lt;br /&gt;
:* Manaka - Bruce Manaka&lt;br /&gt;
* While Manaka and Kubota retain their names in the English Dub, they are named Morrison and Kowalski respectively in the ending credits.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
==== Part 1 ====&lt;br /&gt;
Takagi and Sato are on a date at Tropical Land. Meanwhile, Shiratori, along with several other officers, are at the park in a surveillance van investigating a rumored drug deal involving a dealer in hiding named Asakichi Yakura. Shiratori also plans to intentionally interfere with Takagi&#039;s date. Shiratori has one of the officers bring the Detective Boys to the park and put them in Takagi and Sato&#039;s care. Takagi plans to present Sato with a ring inside his green backpack and discovers a bag of [[Wikipedia: Heroin|heroin]] inside. He realizes that he picked up the wrong backpack during the roller coaster ride. They return to the ride and learn from the attendant that no one returned asking for the backpack. Conan discerns the bag&#039;s owner was delivering the drugs without knowing what was inside, causing Sato to suspect Yakura&#039;s involvement. The backpack&#039;s strap reveals that the owner wore it on his left shoulder, suggesting he is left handed. They proceed to a photo-booth to examine the passengers who were with them on the roller coaster. Meanwhile, the officers misunderstand Sato&#039;s conversation, believing Kekkon (血痕?, lit. &amp;quot;Bloodstain&amp;quot;) to mean Kekkon (結婚?, lit. &amp;quot;Marriage&amp;quot;) and Heroin to mean Hirōen (披露宴?, lit. &amp;quot;Reception&amp;quot;) which causes them to believe that Takagi proposed. This allures them to seek out Takagi&#039;s backpack with the ring. At the photo booth, the four suspects are a golfer, a baseball player, soccer player, and swimmer. The golfer&#039;s writing reveals him to be left handed due to the ink smearing to the right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Part 2 ====&lt;br /&gt;
They confront the golfer and discover he is not the owner of the backpack.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;Conan investigates the backpack&#039;s contents and upon sniffing oil from a rag, revealing the owner to be the &#039;&#039;&#039;baseball player&#039;&#039;&#039;. Conan explains that out of the other three athletes, the baseball player uses the oil for his baseball glove. They then search for the baseball player and upon finding him, follow him to the aquatic show. When Sato discovers the baseball player is meeting with Yakura, she attempts to apprehend him. Yakura manages to escape Sato&#039;s grip and flees towards the ferris wheel. The fireworks and ferris wheel cause Sato to remember a traumatic moment, halting her to a standstill.&lt;br /&gt;

After Yumi had mistakenly put it in an old magazine and took it out to the trash on the wrong day. The envelope was given to her by Shukichi Haneda, and was said to open it when he had collected all seven. Those seven were figured out to be the seven titles of shogi meijin. The building manager, a shogi fan and a former pickpocket, looked inside the envelope to find the marriage registration form, and made a game that would uncover the 8 digit password for the marriage registration.

Meanwhile, Shukichi lost the last game and therefore was unable to acquire the seventh Meijin title. He then called Yumi to cancel the proposal.

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* Two years ago, an anonymous person started sending Ogawa boxes full of toys, along with one million yen, on the first day of each month. And on Feburary 19, Morning Glory flowers get delivered to the hospital where he worked.&lt;br /&gt;
* Usually, the money came with the toys, but on the 25th time, the money came separately in an envelope alongside a letter. Saying they have paid off 25 million yen, and is going to complete their side of the transaction.&lt;br /&gt;
* The toys did not have barcodes on it, and the fact that some of them were beat up and broken when Ogawa recieved them. Suggested all the toys are at least a few years old.&lt;br /&gt;
** Coincidentally, as Conan was playing with one of the toys: a handheld video game system, he discovered that there were save files in the Onimaru video game that was named &#039;&#039;&#039;Tomoya Ogino&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan deduced that the presents were not given to Ogawa in gratitude, but with grudge and hate. The toys belonged to Tomoya and the flowers were sent as a memento of the boy. The meaning of the letter is that they will take the life of Ogawa&#039;s son as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After calling Ogawa&#039;s wife, they found out someone else had picked up Yuta instead of her. They rushed out to find him and eventually found him in a park near his kindergarten school with an unknown man. It turns out that this man was &#039;&#039;&#039;Tomoya&#039;s father&#039;&#039;&#039;, Ogino, who planned to end Yuta&#039;s life on the same day, at the same age that Tomoya died. Ogino was paying Ogawa by using Yuta&#039;s life insurance money.&lt;br /&gt;

{{EndBox}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
Conan was able to stop the murder by using his Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes to kick a nearby soccer ball towards Ogino. After Ogino saw Yuta&#039;s gratitude for the toys, he was reminded of his own son, causing him to break down and admit that he knows Tomoya&#039;s death wasn&#039;t really the doctor&#039;s fault. Ogawa, however, forgave Ogino and decided not call the police, citing that as a father, he understood how devastating it is to lose a son.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the case, Conan asked Professor Agasa to call Ran as Shinichi later using the Voice-Changing Bowtie to deceive her to into believing that Shinichi and Conan are not the same person. It works but Ran did notice that Shinichi was talking like an old man.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, this story takes place after the [[Luxury Liner Serial Murder Case]], as Ran gets a letter from Natsue who mentions that she and Takeshi are living a more quiet life on the ranch. Natsue tells Ran to give her regards to her &amp;quot;detective boyfriend&amp;quot;, which sets up the story. The anime instead starts with Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta asking Ran about Shinichi and whether he is her boyfriend.&lt;br /&gt;
** Additionally, Ran&#039;s recollection of the past cases included a flashback to &amp;quot;Luxury Liner Serial Murder Case&amp;quot; in the manga only.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode marks canon day 10 of Shinichi&#039;s life as Conan.&lt;br /&gt;
* The &#039;&#039;Game Man&#039;&#039; video game system is a parody of Nintendo&#039;s [[Wikipedia: Game Boy|Game Boy]] system.&lt;br /&gt;
** Futhermore, the game that Conan plays is based off on [[Yaiba]], which it&#039;s a manga series written by [[Gosho Aoyama]]. Both [[Yaiba Kurogane]] and [[Takeshi Onimaru]] appears in the game. This is the first time Yaiba is referenced in [[Detective Conan]] [[anime]].&lt;br /&gt;
* This is the first case Ran gets suspicious of Conan. The second case this happens is in [[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Translation changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Funimation dub ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Masayuki Ogawa - John Woodman&lt;br /&gt;
:* Mr. Ogino - Mr. Oswald&lt;br /&gt;
:* Tomoya Ogino - Tommy Oswald&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
** Katsuhiko’s heart literally stopped on Valentine&#039;s Day. Beside his dead body, a cigarette and a chocolate bar were found among his usual items.&lt;br /&gt;
** Before the tragedy, he was at his small party where they ate and drank. On Valentine’s Day (because of the tradition), each girl gives a guy a bar of chocolate, which the guy would consume preferentially.&lt;br /&gt;
** Conan noticed that even though her son died, Katsuhiko&#039;s mother is doing the dishes.&lt;br /&gt;
** Susumu ate chocolate which angered his mother, but she suddenly had a change of heart and gave him some cake despite Susumu&#039;s previous troubles with cavities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
After putting Kogoro to sleep with the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], Conan, using the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]], revealed how Katsuhiko’s real killer was &#039;&#039;&#039;his mother&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katsuhiko does not smoke with filters, that&#039;s why Naomichi&#039;s attempt to poison him through this, failed. Meanwhile, his mother knew his habits, and put poison in his coffee, knowing that he wouldn&#039;t have eaten the antidote in the cake. The reason she had a change of heart when Susumu drank the coffee is because he took the poison, so she quickly gave him the antidote in the cake so he wouldn&#039;t die. She also tried to frame Yoshimi by switching the chocolate she gave him with a half-eaten bar that Katsuhiko apparently ate. Though his mother immediately washed all the cups and switched the chocolates, it is pointed out that forensics could inspect the drainage to find the poison and the swapped chocolate is already visibly melting through the culprit&#039;s kimono. After Kaori exposes Katsuhiko&#039;s back story and his love for Yoshimi, she breaks down and confesses, apologizing to Yoshimi for everything.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
When her husband&#039;s business took a turn for the worse, Katsuhiko&#039;s mother had to think of the quickest way to acquire Katsuhiko&#039;s estate, and save the house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Katsuhiko was an orphan who was adopted by his only living relative, his paternal aunt, when he was a kid. His foster mother knew he fell in love with Yoshimi since she closely resembled his deceased mother, so she tried to frame her.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode features the first use of the anime&#039;s second post-credits stinger image, featuring Conan in a &amp;quot;thinking&amp;quot; pose.&lt;br /&gt;
* When the Detective Boys are handing out flyers, Genta refers to them by the English &#039;Detective Boys&#039; rather than the typically used Japanese &#039;Shōnen Tantei-dan.&#039;&lt;br /&gt;
* This is Sonoko&#039;s first appearance in the anime. However, she wouldn&#039;t appear in the manga until [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]].&lt;br /&gt;
* This is Ryo Horikawa&#039;s first vocal appearance in the series. He plays the victim Katsuhiko, but returns to voice Heiji beginning in [[Diplomat Murder Case]].&lt;br /&gt;
* In &amp;quot;Detective Conan: Episode Selections&amp;quot; Crunchyroll version of the [[Episode 5|previous episode]], it features the dubbed preview for this episode with [[Case Closed##Studio Nano|Studio Nano]] cast. While the episodes aren&#039;t released in the selection, it&#039;s confirmed that it would be titled as &#039;&#039;&#039;&amp;quot;The Valentine Murder Case&amp;quot;&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br /&gt;
** Currently, it is unknown if this episode will get an official release with Studio Nano&#039;s English dub.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan remembers the Vodka lookalike saying &amp;quot;I can finally have a smoke&amp;quot;. 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* The Gin lookalike made a remark about how the person with the bomb is probably &amp;quot;looking out at the last scenic view&amp;quot; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* The woman in the Green Car has a cell phone and remarks to Conan that since the sky is clear today &amp;quot;you can see Mt. Fuji&amp;quot; from her window. The woman claims to have not visited the dining car during the trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* The elderly man does not seem to hear Conan&#039;s question correctly, so Conan is unclear whether the man did or did not visit the dining car.&lt;br /&gt;
* Although the brutish man with gold rimmed glasses doesn&#039;t answer Conan&#039;s question outright, it&#039;s clear the man visited the dining car because he wipes his glasses with one of the dining car napkins.&lt;br /&gt;
* When the Vodka lookalike questions his partner about the bomb being timed, the Gin lookalike replies that although the bomb isn&#039;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&#039;s &amp;quot;reaction to something&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
After ruling out the brutish man Conan knows went to the dining car, since his briefcase was full of underwear, Conan realizes one of the passengers he spoke to said something strange.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &#039;&#039;&#039;woman&#039;&#039;&#039; 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The woman lied about going to the dining car in order to cover up the transaction she had with the men in black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
The woman&#039;s motive for making a deal with the men in black was to gain &amp;quot;inside information on the trading market&amp;quot; in exchange for 100 million yen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The men in black&#039;s motive for planting the bomb was to kill off the woman and cover their tracks while getting away with a hefty amount of money.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Conan meets Gin and Vodka.]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko didn&#039;t appear in the manga version of the story. Thus, it&#039;s Ran who deposits the gum that Conan uses.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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.&lt;br /&gt;
* The manga version ends with Conan reflecting on the knowledge he learned about the two men in black. Ran&#039;s questioning of his true identity doesn&#039;t occur here, but in [[The Coded Map of the City Case]], which follows the story in the manga rather than preceding it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* This train is a [[Wikipedia: 100 Series Shinkansen|100 series (100系, Hyaku-kei) Shinkansen]].&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode marks canon day 9 of Shinichi&#039;s life as Conan.&lt;br /&gt;
* 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&#039;s role, and therefore cutting out the Black Organization involvement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Translation changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Studio Nano dub ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The Anpanman reference is removed, replaced by the generic term &amp;quot;superhero&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
After visiting an exhibit on hidden treasures, Conan and his friends find a piece of paper with symbols and the word &amp;quot;Oro&amp;quot; written on it. A treasure hunt ensues but they do not discover much. Conan, initially not interested in the children&#039;s treasure hunt finally realizes that the paper is a treasure map after learning that &amp;quot;Oro&amp;quot; means gold in Italian. That night, Conan determines that the symbols refer to neon light signs on buildings.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
* There&#039;s no doubt that &#039;&#039;&#039;Dino Cavane&#039;&#039;&#039; and his &#039;&#039;&#039;accomplices&#039;&#039;&#039; are responsible for the theft of the Maple Leaf coins, but Cavane refuses to say where the coins are hidden.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan and the Detective Boys find a piece of paper with odd symbols drawn on it and the word &amp;quot;ORO&amp;quot; as they leave a museum.&lt;br /&gt;
* After looking at an Italian-Japanese dictionary, Conan realizes &amp;quot;ORO&amp;quot; means &amp;quot;Gold&amp;quot; in Italian. Conan is shocked to realize he and the Detective Boys really did find a treasure map.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan is puzzled why someone who is Italian would make a reference to a Japanese street name near Tohto Tower.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
Conan realizes that the shapes on the treasure map really refer to the shapes of neon signs near Tohto Tower. It wouldn&#039;t make sense for someone who does not speak Japanese to make a reference to a Japanese named street, but rather draw pictures of a recognizable objects they saw.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan and the Detective Boys manage to find the location of the missing Maple Leaf coins, only to be confronted by Cavane&#039;s thugs. Thanks to Conan&#039;s quick thinking, Conan and the Detective Boys manage to knock the thugs unconscious and run to the police.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* An entire portion of the story is left out of the anime where Ran takes Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko to [[Setting#Tokyo Tower/Tohto Tower|Tohto Tower]]. She recalls a time when she and Shinichi visited the tower and when he bought her a cold drink, which he put up to her cheek. Conan does the same thing, which prompts her to ask him about his true identity (as the manga version takes place after the [[The Shinkansen&#039;s Bomb Case]]). Conan responds by stating that he is [[Kamen Yaiba]]. The scene in question would later appear (ironically) at the begining of the fourth movie [[Captured in Her Eyes]] which Ran has a flashback too.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Genta envisions that the Italian gangsters will shoot him, and imagines himself lying in a pool of his own blood. The anime substitutes a less graphic and more stylized image, with a miniature Genta being riddled with colorful, cartoon-like gunshots.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, the 4th sign in the paper is a bowtie instead of an umbrella in the anime. The word &amp;quot;ORO&amp;quot; and the fish sign is in different sides.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Conan notices ahead of time that they are being followed by the Italian gangsters, so he tosses the map pretending to know nothing about it and sends the kids home. After the gangsters leave, Conan is revealed to have made a copy of the map and uses it to try and find the treasure but the kids figure him out and force him to let them cooperate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* This episode marks canon day 8 of Shinichi&#039;s life as Conan.&lt;br /&gt;
* Dino Cavane is modeled after [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]].&lt;br /&gt;
* A remastered version of the case was aired in June 6, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;

When a client arrives during one of her shows, Kogoro even tries to make them return later, until he realizes that the client is Yoko Okino herself, accompanied by her manager. Kogoro quickly makes himself presentable and hears her concerns about a recent stalker. He agrees to investigate at her apartment, and Ran and Conan tag along. Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko were watching the agency and also follow, so when the front door opens everyone sees the body on the floor inside.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
=== Evidence ===&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan discovers a hoop earring underneath a couch in Yoko&#039;s apartment. Yoko reveals this earring belongs to Yuko Ikezawa, her rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuko, despite claiming never to have been in Yoko&#039;s apartment before, somehow knew where the bathroom is located and that the Statue of Liberty figurine in the apartment is actually a lighter.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yamagishi explains that the spare key to Yoko&#039;s apartment had been missing for awhile.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yamagishi removed a strand of hair from Fujie&#039;s hand when he pretended to slip on the floor. When Conan retrieves the hair, he realizes Yamagishi must think it belongs to Yoko.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan discovers an odd indentation mark on the floor as well as traces of water. He also notes that it is strange that only a chair is standing upright on the floor near the body while the rest of the room is in shambles. &lt;br /&gt;
* Upon entering Yoko&#039;s apartment, Megure notes that the room seems to be at an unusually hot temperature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Conclusion ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan knocks Kogoro unconscious by kicking him in the head with an ashtray. Using the voice-changing bowtie, Conan as Kogoro reveals the truth behind the strange things that happened to Yoko, as well as the murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Yuko&#039;&#039;&#039; is responsible for the missing apartment key, as well as the threatening phone calls, etc. This is why Yuko knew where Yoko&#039;s bathroom was and that the Statue of Liberty was actually a lighter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan as Kogoro reveals that Fujie&#039;s murder was not a murder at all; Fujie committed &#039;&#039;&#039;suicide&#039;&#039;&#039; by freezing a knife inside a block of ice, after grabbing a hair from Yoko&#039;s hairbrush and then falling backwards onto the knife from the chair in the room. The odd indentation in the floor was caused by the knife when Fujie landed on it. The water spots on the floor are from the melted ice. Before killing himself, Fujie turned up the heat in Yoko&#039;s apartment in order to melt the ice, and therefore the evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Motive ===&lt;br /&gt;
Yuko&#039;s motive for playing mean pranks and tricks on Yoko was to frighten her and find potential scandal material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fujie&#039;s motive for committing suicide was Yuko&#039;s startled reaction to Fujie grabbing her by the shoulder. Fujie used to be Yoko&#039;s boyfriend until Yamagishi asked him to break up with her for the sake of Yoko&#039;s career. Mistaking Yuko for Yoko, whom he still loved, Fujie took this reaction to mean that Yoko never wanted to see him again. Unable to bear the thought, Fujie committed suicide, framing Yoko for the murder in revenge.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* In the anime, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta introduce themselves to Conan and follows him on the case. The Detective Boys don&#039;t appear in the manga until [[Volume 2#Scary Building Case|the haunted mansion case in the next volume]].&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Ran suspects that Shinichi&#039;s absence might have to due with the two [[Vodka|men]] in [[Gin|black]] that he pursued and planned to call the police. In the anime she merely plans to report his absence to the police without any mention of the men in black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Insert song: [[Utakata no Yume]], by Tomoko Shinohara.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is used as the song performed by Yoko Okino in the episode.&lt;br /&gt;
* According to the post-credit scene, this episode takes place a canon week after Shinichi has shrunk down to Conan.&lt;br /&gt;
* A painting in Yoko&#039;s apartment features London, with Big Ben as seen from the bridge. It also appears in the ending scenes.&lt;br /&gt;

* Yuko, despite claiming never to have been in Yoko&#039;s apartment before, somehow knew where the bathroom is located and that the Statue of Liberty figurine in the apartment is actually a lighter.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yamagishi explains that the spare key to Yoko&#039;s apartment had been missing for awhile.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yamagishi removed a strand of hair from Fujie&#039;s hand when he pretended to slip on the floor. When Conan retrieves the hair, he realizes Yamagishi must think it belongs to Yoko.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan discovers an odd indentation mark on the floor as well as traces of water. He also notes that it is strange that only a chair is standing upright on the floor near the body while the rest of the room is in shambles. &lt;br /&gt;
* Megure upon entering Yoko&#039;s apartment, notes that the room seems to be at an unusually hot temperature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Conclusion ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan knocks Kogoro unconscious by kicking him in the head with an ashtray. Using the voice-changing bowtie, Conan as Kogoro reveals the truth behind the strange things that happened to Yoko, as well as the murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Yuko&#039;&#039;&#039; is responsible for the missing apartment key, as well as the threatening phone calls, etc. This is why Yuko knew where Yoko&#039;s bathroom was and that the Statue of Liberty was actually a lighter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan as Kogoro reveals that the Fujie&#039;s murder was not a murder at all; Fujie committed &#039;&#039;&#039;suicide&#039;&#039;&#039; by freezing a knife inside a block of ice, after grabbing a hair from Yoko&#039;s hairbrush and then falling backwards onto the knife from the chair in the room. The odd indentation in the floor was caused by the knife when Fujie landed on it. The water spots on the floor are from the melted ice. Before killing himself, Fujie turned up the heat in Yoko&#039;s apartment in order to melt the ice, and therefore the evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Motive ===&lt;br /&gt;
Yuko&#039;s motive for playing mean pranks and tricks on Yoko was to frighten her and find potential scandal material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fujie&#039;s motive for committing suicide was Yuko&#039;s startled reaction to Fujie grabbing her by the shoulder. Fujie used to be Yoko&#039;s boyfriend until Yamagishi asked him to break up with her for the sake of Yoko&#039;s career. Mistaking Yuko for Yoko, whom he still loved, Fujie took this reaction to mean that Yoko never wanted to see him again. Unable to bear the thought, Fujie committed suicide, framing Yoko for the murder in revenge.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* In the anime, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta introduce themselves to Conan and follows him on the case. The Detective Boys don&#039;t appear in the manga until [[Volume 2#Scary Building Case|the haunted mansion case in the next volume]].&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Ran suspects that Shinichi&#039;s absence might have to due with the two [[Vodka|men]] in [[Gin|black]] that he pursued and planned to call the police. In the anime she merely plans to report his absence to the police without any mention of the men in black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Insert song: [[Utakata no Yume]], by Tomoko Shinohara.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is used as the song performed by Yoko Okino in the episode.&lt;br /&gt;
* According to the post-credit scene, this episode takes place a canon week after Shinichi has shrunk down to Conan.&lt;br /&gt;
* A painting in Yoko&#039;s apartment features London, with Big Ben as seen from the bridge. It also appears in the ending scenes.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] declines to walk home from school with classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]]. He arrives at the Mouri Detective Agency to see that without work, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] spent all day drinking beer and watching his favorite popstar, [[Yoko Okino]], on TV. When a client arrives during one of her shows, Kogoro even tries to make them return later, until he realizes that the client is Yoko Okino herself, accompanied by her manager. Kogoro quickly makes himself presentable and hears her concerns about a recent stalker. He agrees to investigate at her apartment, and Ran and Conan tag along. Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko were watching the agency and also follow, so when the front door opens everyone sees the body on the floor inside.&lt;br /&gt;

* Conan discovers a hoop earring underneath a couch in Yoko&#039;s apartment. Yoko reveals this earring belongs to Yuko Ikezawa, her rival.&lt;br /&gt;
* Yuko, despite claiming never to have been in Yoko&#039;s apartment before, somehow knew where the bathroom is located and that the Statue of Liberty figurine in the apartment is actually a lighter.&lt;br /&gt;

* Yamagishi removed a strand of hair from Fujie&#039;s hand when he pretended to slip on the floor. When Conan retrieves the hair, he realizes Yamagishi must think it belongs to Yoko.&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan discovers an odd indentation mark on the floor as well as traces of water. He also notes that it is strange that only a chair is standing upright on the floor near the body while the rest of the room is in shambles. &lt;br /&gt;
* Megure upon entering Yoko&#039;s apartment, notes that the room seems to be at an unusually hot temperature.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Conclusion ===&lt;br /&gt;
Conan knocks Kogoro unconscious by kicking him in the head with an ashtray. Using the voice-changing bowtie, Conan as Kogoro reveals the truth behind the strange things that happened to Yoko, as well as the murder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&#039;&#039;&#039;Yuko&#039;&#039;&#039; is responsible for the missing apartment key, as well as the threatening phone calls, etc. This is why Yuko knew where Yoko&#039;s bathroom was and that the Statue of Liberty was actually a lighter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conan as Kogoro reveals that the Fujie&#039;s murder was not a murder at all; Fujie committed &#039;&#039;&#039;suicide&#039;&#039;&#039; by freezing a knife inside a block of ice, after grabbing a hair from Yoko&#039;s hairbrush and then falling backwards onto the knife from the chair in the room. The odd indentation in the floor was caused by the knife when Fujie landed on it. The water spots on the floor are from the melted ice. Before killing himself, Fujie turned up the heat in Yoko&#039;s apartment in order to melt the ice, and therefore the evidence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Motive ===&lt;br /&gt;
Yuko&#039;s motive for playing mean pranks and tricks on Yoko was to frighten her and find potential scandal material.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fujie&#039;s motive for committing suicide was Yuko&#039;s startled reaction to Fujie grabbing her by the shoulder. Fujie used to be Yoko&#039;s boyfriend until Yamagishi asked him to break up with her for the sake of Yoko&#039;s career. Mistaking Yuko for Yoko, whom he still loved, Fujie took this reaction to mean that Yoko never wanted to see him again. Unable to bear the thought, Fujie committed suicide, framing Yoko for the murder in revenge.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* In the anime, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta introduce themselves to Conan and follows him on the case. The Detective Boys don&#039;t appear in the manga until [[Volume 2#Scary Building Case|the haunted mansion case in the next volume]].&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Ran suspects that Shinichi&#039;s absence might have to due with the two [[Vodka|men]] in [[Gin|black]] that he pursued and planned to call the police. In the anime she merely plans to report his absence to the police without any mention of the men in black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Insert song: [[Utakata no Yume]], by Tomoko Shinohara.&lt;br /&gt;
** It is used as the song performed by Yoko Okino in the episode.&lt;br /&gt;
* According to the post-credit scene, this episode takes place a canon week after Shinichi has shrunk down to Conan.&lt;br /&gt;
* A painting in Yoko&#039;s apartment features London, with Big Ben as seen from the bridge. It also appears in the ending scenes.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] realizes that the poison shrunk him, and after making it home, asks [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] for help. Agasa warns that to stay safely hidden from the men in black, Shinichi can tell no one else, even [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] - who coincidentally shows up, intending to check on Shinichi. Agasa convinces her to look after Shinichi, who tells her his name is [[Conan Edogawa]]. On the way to her house, Ran confides to Conan that she really likes Shinichi, but Conan&#039;s reply is interrupted by [[Kogoro Mouri|Ran&#039;s father]] rushing outside on the trail of a case. He brags that he&#039;s been hired to find a CEO&#039;s daughter, who was kidnapped by a &amp;quot;man in black&amp;quot;. Conan sneaks along in case it is a lead, followed by Ran, who explains Conan&#039;s situation to Kogoro. Kogoro can&#039;t kick them out of a moving taxi, so simply orders them to stay out of the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the butler, Aso, CEO Tani&#039;s daughter Akiko was taken from the house&#039;s garden by a man in black, who escaped without alerting any of the guard dogs on the premises. The kidnapper demands that the CEO shut down his company for a while, as well as deliver a large ransom.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Case Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
Conan hints to Kogoro that it is strange that Jumbo the guard dog did not bark at the supposed man dressed in black kidnapping Akiko, since the kidnapper supposedly used the pine tree Jumbo was near to escape the household.&lt;br /&gt;
Aso seems surprised when Tani claims the kidnapper is asking for ransom money in addition to shutting down his company temporarily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a phone call with the kidnapper, Akiko manages to say she thinks she&#039;s in the storeroom of a school and sees a chimney outside the window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, thanks to hints from Conan, figures out that Akiko&#039;s kidnapping is a &#039;&#039;&#039;fake&#039;&#039;&#039; and that she should be in a nearby hotel. Unfortunately, Akiko was kidnapped for real after the fake kidnapping by a man demanding ransom money in return for Akiko&#039;s safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After searching nearby schools using Jumbo as transportation and a guide, Conan determines that what Akiko saw outside the school window wasn&#039;t a chimney at all, but rather the side of a large skyscraper. Conan then finds Akiko but is unable to take down the kidnapper due to his shrunken size. Thankfully, Jumbo summoned the others and Ran uses her karate on the kidnapper in the nick of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

| image               = EP02 Case2.jpg&lt;br /&gt;
| location            = School Storeroom&lt;br /&gt;

| age                 = 10 years old, 7 years old&lt;br /&gt;
| suspects            = &amp;quot;kidnapper&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
| suspects-label      = Culprit&lt;br /&gt;
| description         = After the kidnapper got off the phone with Akiko&#039;s father, who was about to make the drop, he told her that he no longer has a use for her, and was about to kill her with a knife, when Conan and Jumbo showed up. However, he is a lot weaker in his 7 year old state, and he also cannot kick a ball hard enough to save them. The kidnapper had already scared Jumbo away, probably after hurting him, and was about to kill the children, when Ran showed up, and saved them with her karate moves, while Conan is having to come to terms that he cannot fight the culprits now, due to his weakened body.&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Akiko&#039;s motive for getting Aso to cooperate with her &amp;quot;kidnapping&amp;quot; was that she wanted to spend more time with her father who is always at work and doesn&#039;t play with her very much anymore.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Episode Resolution: The New Status Quo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;On the way home, Ran reminds Kogoro about Conan&#039;s situation and asks if he can stay. Kogoro thinks that Conan acted like a good luck charm with how well the case turned out, and enthusiastically consents. The next scene shows Conan in his new elementary school classroom, introducing himself, though he privately wishes that being stuck back in first grade could be just a bad dream.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* The younger Shinichi is in a medical center at Tropical Land whereas in the anime he runs off after being awoken by the police.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, after finding the culprit, Conan, after being hit once, is repeatedly hit by the culprit causing him to bleed from his head.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Tani immediately puts the vacation plans with Akiko on hold, much to the latter&#039;s disappointment before he changes his mind. The anime leaves this scene out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rather than showing Conan being introduced to his new class (with Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta as students), the manga version of the story ends with Conan reflecting on how he is incapable of fighting the bad guys in his younger form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan/Shinichi misquotes Sherlock Holmes by repharising the quote &#039;Elementary, my dear Agasa&#039;, as Sherlock never says the phrase &#039;Elementary, my dear Watson&#039; in any of Conan Doyle&#039;s novels. The line originates from film adaptions of the Holmes books.&lt;br /&gt;
* A remastered version of the case was aired on April 11, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Translation changes ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Tani - Mr. Tanner&lt;br /&gt;
:* Akiko Tani - Michelle Tanner&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Funimation Dub, Ran pointed out that Kogoro did not have a case, with him responding that he polished off a case (a case of beer), whereas in the Japanese Version, Ran states that his messy office is why [[Eri]] left him and why Kogoro hasn&#039;t had work with him responding that he&#039;s selective with his job. In the dub, Eri / Eva Kaden is not mentioned until the [[Coffee Shop Murder Case]].&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Funimation Dub, Conan blushes during Ran&#039;s hug because he was that close to her, whereas in the Japanese Version he blushed because he felt her chest.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Situation ===&lt;br /&gt;
[[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] realizes that the poison shrunk him, and after making it home, asks [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] for help. Agasa warns that to stay safely hidden from the men in black, Shinichi can tell no one else, even [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] - who coincidentally shows up, intending to check on Shinichi. Agasa convinces her to look after Shinichi, who tells her his name is [[Conan Edogawa]]. On the way to her house, Ran confides to Conan that she really likes Shinichi, but Conan&#039;s reply is interrupted by [[Kogoro Mouri|Ran&#039;s father]] rushing outside on the trail of a case. He brags that he&#039;s been hired to find a CEO&#039;s daughter, who was kidnapped by a &amp;quot;man in black&amp;quot;. Conan sneaks along in case it is a lead, followed by Ran, who explains Conan&#039;s situation to Kogoro. Kogoro can&#039;t kick them out of a moving taxi, so simply orders them to stay out of the way.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the butler, Aso, CEO Tani&#039;s daughter Akiko was taken from the house&#039;s garden by a man in black, who escaped without alerting any of the guard dogs on the premises. The kidnapper demands that the CEO shut down his company for a while, as well as deliver a large ransom.&lt;br /&gt;

=== Case Resolution ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
==== Evidence ====&lt;br /&gt;
Conan hints to Kogoro that it is strange that Jumbo the guard dog did not bark at the supposed man dressed in black kidnapping Akiko, since the kidnapper supposedly used the pine tree Jumbo was near to escape the household.&lt;br /&gt;
Aso seems surprised when Tani claims the kidnapper is asking for ransom money in addition to shutting down his company temporarily.&lt;br /&gt;
* During a phone call with the kidnapper, Akiko manages to say she thinks she&#039;s in the storeroom of a school and sees a chimney outside the window.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Conclusion ====&lt;br /&gt;
Kogoro, thanks to hints from Conan, figures out that Akiko&#039;s kidnapping is a &#039;&#039;&#039;fake&#039;&#039;&#039; and that she should be in a nearby hotel. Unfortunately, Akiko was kidnapped for real after the fake kidnapping by a man demanding ransom money in return for Akiko&#039;s safety.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After searching nearby schools using Jumbo as transportation and a guide, Conan determines that what Akiko saw outside the school window wasn&#039;t a chimney at all, but rather the side of a large skyscraper. Conan then finds Akiko but is unable to take down the kidnapper due to his shrunken size. Thankfully, Jumbo summoned the others and Ran uses her karate on the kidnapper in the nick of time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

| location            = School Storeroom&lt;br /&gt;

| suspects            = &amp;quot;kidnapper&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
| suspects-label      = Culprit&lt;br /&gt;
| description         = After the kidnapper got off the phone with Akiko&#039;s father, who was about to make the drop, he told her that he no longer has a use for her, and was about to kill her with a knife, when Conan and Jumbo showed up. However, he is a lot weaker in his 7 year old state, and he also cannot kick a ball hard enough to save them. The kidnapper had already scared Jumbo away, probably after hurting him, and was about to kill the children, when Ran showed up, and saved them with her karate moves, while Conan is having to come to terms that he cannot fight the culprits now, due to his weakened body.&lt;br /&gt;
}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==== Motive ====&lt;br /&gt;
Akiko&#039;s motive for getting Aso to cooperate with her &amp;quot;kidnapping&amp;quot; was that she wanted to spend more time with her father who is always at work and doesn&#039;t play with her very much anymore.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Episode Resolution: The New Status Quo ===&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;spoiler&amp;gt;On the way home, Ran reminds Kogoro about Conan&#039;s situation and asks if he can stay. Kogoro thinks that Conan acted like a good luck charm with how well the case turned out, and enthusiastically consents. The next scene shows Conan in his new elementary school classroom, introducing himself, though he privately wishes that being stuck back in first grade could be just a bad dream.&amp;lt;/spoiler&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Manga to anime changes ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}&lt;br /&gt;
* The younger Shinichi is in a medical center at Tropical Land whereas in the anime he runs off after being awoken by the police.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, after finding the culprit Conan after being hit once is repeatedly hit by the culprit causing him to bleed from his head.&lt;br /&gt;
* In the manga, Tani immediately puts the vacation plans with Akiko on hold, much to the latter&#039;s disappointment before he change his mind. The anime leaves this scene out.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rather than showing Conan being introduced to his new class (with Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta as students), the manga version of the story ends with Conan reflecting on how he is incapable of fighting the bad guys in his younger form.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
== Trivia ==&lt;br /&gt;
* Conan/Shinichi misquotes Sherlock Holmes by repharising the quote &#039;Elementary, my dear Agasa&#039;, as Sherlock never says the phrase &#039;Elementary, my dear Watson&#039; in any of Conan Doyle&#039;s novels. The line originates from film adaptions of the Holmes books.&lt;br /&gt;
* A remastered version of the case was aired on April 11, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Translation changes ===&lt;br /&gt;
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:&lt;br /&gt;
:* Tani - Mr. Tanner&lt;br /&gt;
:* Akiko Tani - Michelle Tanner&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Funimation Dub, Ran pointed out that Kogoro did not have a case, with him responding that he polished off a case (a case of beer), whereas in the Japanese Version, Ran states that his messy office is why [[Eri]] left him and why Kogoro hasn&#039;t had work with him responding that he&#039;s selective with his job. In the dub, Eri / Eva Kaden is not mentioned until the [[Coffee Shop Murder Case]].&lt;br /&gt;
* In the Funimation Dub, Conan blushes during Ran&#039;s hug because he was that close to her, whereas in the Japanese Version he blushed because he felt her chest.&lt;br /&gt;
