== Case 1: Missing Older Brother Case ==
=== Situation ===
A new girl named [[Ai Haibara]] transfers into [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s [[Teitan Elementary School|class]]. Conan is apathetic, but the rest of the [[Detective Boys]] are excited. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and [[Genta]] notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them she lives at Beika 2-chōme, 22-banchi, which Conan deduces is right near [[Setting#Kudo Residence|his house]], but can't think of any candidate houses or apartments where a Haibara family has lived.

After school, the detective boys check Genta's locker where their detective group cases are received and Genta finds a request in his shoe. [[Ayumi]] tells Haibara to come along with them. The request is from a first grade boy named Toshiya asking the Detective Boys to find his high school aged brother who has been missing for a week. The Detective Boys, along with Toshiya and Haibara, investigate Toshiya's older brother's room. Conan notices the older brother's wallet is still in his drawer which rules out running away from home, and he also discounts kidnapping for extortion because kidnappers would have gone after Toshiya instead. The Detective Boys find the older brother's artwork which are copies of famous paintings. The fidelity is good, but not good enough to be used as forgeries. Conan takes interest in a portrait of Natsume Sōseki which had been in a city exhibition. Toshiya reveals that, before his brother disappeared, a woman in a hat wearing black had an interest in that portrait and approached Toshiya's older brother. Conan panics, thinking that this could be the work of [[Black Organization]]. Haibara observes Conan's sudden attitude change.

| description = Toshiya's older brother disappeared one week ago after telling his family he was going to a friend's house.
}}

The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother without luck. The detective boys stop at a convenience story for drinks and Conan notices that a man wearing a black jacket and hat used a ¥1000 bill to pay for ¥330 cigarettes. Conan thinks that the transaction probably wasn't for change because the man could have also bought the same cigarettes at a vending machine outside faster. Conan grabs the bill from the startled cashier and notices it has no watermark; it's a counterfeit ¥1000.

Conan and the detective boys start following the man in black. The portrait on ¥1000 bills is Natsume Sōseki, so Conan explains that the man's counterfeit may have to do with Toshiya's brother's disappearance. In a fit of oblivious deductive monologue, Conan starts talking about the men in black shrinking his body in front of the detective boys. Conan cuts himself off quickly and says it was a joke, but Haibara took notice anyway. Conan decides to plant a tracker on the man in black. Conan tells the man he dropped a ¥1000 bill which he snatches from Conan without realizing a button transmitter was stuck to the bill. To keep them from danger, Conan ditches the detective boys by telling them he has something to do and they should look for Toshiya's brother tomorrow. Ai watches as Conan runs away...

Now alone, Conan tracks the bill to a vender where the man in black bought a ¥110 can of iced coffee. A janitor testifies that the man used a ¥500 coin to buy a train ticket which left him with at least 3 coins of change. Looking at the ticket prices, Conan deduces the man went to Daitoma station. Once there, Conan begins to question a local broker who may have rented a space big enough to print fake money. The broker then asks Conan if he is with the kids outside; the detective boys, Toshiya, and Haibara have been following Conan. Haibara was the one who predicted Conan might try to continue investigating alone and suggested they follow. Toshiya then describes a quick phone call his missing brother made; he said something about being with people like Sōseki. The broker tells the kids he rented a location by the local police post to a newspaper printing company two years ago and they recently got a new printer. The broker says the lady in charge favors wide brimmed hats. With this, Conan realizes the meaning of the hint that Toshiya's older brother said over the phone.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Natsume Sōseki took his name from the proverb ''Sōseki Chinryu'' - "rinsing one's mouth with a stone and laying one's head on a pillow of flowing water." The proverb describes someone who would act the opposite of the people's expectations; a forgery outfit operating next door to a police post matches.

Conan and the rest of the children go to the local police station where the officers shrugs them off for watching too much TV. Conan then uses [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s voice to call [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] and inform him of the situation. While Conan is making the call, the detective boys decide to infiltrate on their own accord. True to Conan's deduction, Haibara notices different paints that the counterfeiters tested.

Upstairs, the counterfeiters are forcing Toshiya's brother to draw the ¥10,000 bills (Yukichi Fukuzawa). One of the men keeping watch notices the snooping children over the closed circuit television. The older brother exclaims when he sees Toshiya on screen, and the head counterfeiter, the lady with the black hat, decide to come up with a plan. Conan realizes that the children are gone, asks the police where they went, and discovers they went into the hideout without him. Horrified, he chases after them. Elsewhere, [[Gin]] takes a call over the phone from [[Vodka]] about someone who escaped from the Black Organization. Gin orders Vodka to find that person dead or alive.

As Conan enters the building, he is caught at gunpoint by a bulky man. Upstairs, the head of the counterfeiters confronts the children, and plans to kill the children one by one to motivate Toshiya's older brother to work faster.

}}

Just as she is about to shoot Ayumi, Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|shoes]] to knock the gun out of the lady's hand. He reveals that the counterfeiter's original artist had become injured, so they needed a replacement to finish the bills. They saw the older brother's painting of Sōseki and decided to kidnap him in order to finish the bills. Conan takes out the lady's two goons with pots of paint. Before the lady can reach for the gun, Haibara grabs it, takes a Weaver stance, and fires it just over the lady's shoulder, breaking the window behind her.

The sound rouses the police next door and they arrive and are shocked to find that the children were telling the truth after all. They call for back up and apprehend the counterfeiters. As they are hauled off, Conan asks the lead counterfeiter if she is part of a large organization with alcoholic code names. The lady doesn't seem to know what Conan is talking about. Megure reveals that she is the leader of a counterfeit group called the "The silver fox", and he then berates Haibara for firing a gun. Which causes Haibara to break down in tears, Megure seeing this immediately apologizes for being too hard on her.

Conan walks Haibara to her home, while she is still sobbing. On the way, Haibara's demeanor suddenly changes and she reveals to Conan that she's really [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], a former member of the Black Organization and creator of [[APTX 4869]], the drug that shrunk both her and Shinichi. Haibara points out that her home address is actually [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s. Conan starts to call Agasa in a panic and he doesn't pick up. Haibara replies that's because he is not in this world anymore, implying that he’s 'dead'. Conan rushes over to Agasa's and finds the professor is completely well and jovial and that his line was busy because he was surfing the internet.

Conan demands an explanation as to why a member of the Black Organization is staying with Agasa. Agasa explains that she also took APTX 4869 which caused her to shrink into a child. Haibara adds that the professor adopted her after he found her passed out in front of Shinichi's house. She had been part of the Black Organization team that investigated Shinichi's house twice to ensure his death. She noticed Shinichi's childhood clothes went missing between investigations, and thus suspected he de-aged like one of her test mice did. She declared Shinichi deceased anyway because she didn't want the Organization to kill him before she could see him.

Haibara then explains that she betrayed the Organization because she didn't like that they were using her drug on people and because the Organization killed her sister and refused to explain the reason why. Sherry boycotted the drug's development, and was then locked up and scheduled to be executed because of her insubordination. She took an APTX drug that she had secretly pocketed hoping to commit suicide, instead she shrank which allowed her to free herself from the handcuffs, and then escape via laundry chute.

Haibara explains that she went to find Shinichi hoping he would lend her his aid, seeing as he was the only person who would understand her unique situation. However, Conan berates her angered at the fact that she didn’t seem to understand how much pain and suffering her drug had caused to so many innocent people. Agasa calms him down and Conan asks her if she can create an antidote for the drug, and she notes that she would need to go back to her lab. Conan tells her to tell him the location of the lab and he will get the info she needs himself.

However, Haibara states that there is no point she shows them a newspaper article of a Beika building that apparently burst into flames. That building was her lab, the Organization fearful of what she might leak, burned down the building her lab used to be in and began looking for her. Haibara asks if Conan will abandon or help her and he says that he will help her.</spoiler>

== Case 2: Murdered Professor Case ==
=== Situation ===
Haibara explains her story about the drug, her sister's death and her escape. She reveals that she accidentally sent a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization to her older sister... which is now in the possession of her sister's professor, Masami Hirota. They track down Hirota through the university and Agasa posed as a friend of Haibara's sister Akemi Miyano, and Hirota agrees to give them the disk, but first after he has some other visitors.

Agasa takes Conan and Haibara to Hirota's home so they can get the disk, only to realize that Hirota has been murdered. Discovering the voice messages, they discovered the suspects are Hirota's three students who visited that day and the Black Organization. However, they quickly rule out the Black Organization involvement because the crime was too messy to be Black Organization's style.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan reveals the culprit to be '''Akira Shirakura'''; Shirakura after bludgeoning Hirota to death tied the answering machine cassette tape around the key to the room which rewound when a call was made and subsequently bringing the key into the room. The cassette tape was also wrapped around some pawn chess pieces that were placed upside with a notebook on top. Once that was done, he simply called the phone and as the cassette tape was being rewound it knocked the chess pieces causing the notebook to fall on top of the key at the same time. As evidence, Conan reveals that Shirakura's fingerprints should be found on the tape.

Shirakura says that he killed Hirota because he possessed some very embarrassing and compromising photos of himself, which could ruin his career as a model. Additionally, Hirota had mocked him on the phone when he begged him to give him the photos which made his temper flare. Upon hearing Shirakura's motives, Agasa counters saying that he misunderstood Hirota's words - he actually wanted Shirakura to let go of his pride, only that he did so in the wrong way. Shirakura then gives himself up to the police.

Once Shirakura is taken away, Haibara breaks down in tears. She explains the rest of her story, revealing that her sister was Akemi Miyano alias the same ex-Black Organization member who died in Conan's arms. Then she asks Conan why, if he's so good with his deductions, why he couldn’t he have saved her sister, and ends up crying further while holding on a shocked Conan's shirt.

Later that day, Haibara attempts to read the files off the disk only to have a virus delete all the data.

'''{{nihongo|Misao Yamamura|山村ミサオ|Yamamura Misao}}''', also known as '''Detective Magnum''' in the English dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Misao is a detective and police officer from the Gunma district who covers multiple divisions, including robbery cases, escorting criminals, traffic observation, and homicide cases. Later on in the series, Yamamura is finally promoted to an Inspector role,<ref name="m13" /> much to the chagrin of Conan and especially Kogoro.

== Background ==
Yamamura was born and grew up in the Gunma Prefecture. He became a police detective because he was a fan of [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s television show in which she played a police woman, ''Dangerous Policewoman Story''.<ref name=Misao>[[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|Episode 96: The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases]]</ref> Yamamura, before being promoted to Inspector, was considered a rookie detective.<ref name=Misao>[[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|Episode 96: The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases]]</ref> In his first case, he mentioned that the only reason why he was put on the case was because everyone else in his precinct had a cold.<ref name=Misao/> His reputation grows after Conan knocks him out to solve a case, which gives him more assignments. Yamamura has a grandmother, named [[Misae Yamamura]],<ref name=Tobacco/> who sometimes gets indirectly involved in Yamamura's cases.<ref name=Witch />

[[Image:Inspector Yamamura's Badge.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Inspector Yamamura shows off his badge to Kogoro, Conan, and Ran.]]
The reaction of most characters when they see Yamamura is complete bewilderment; Kogoro even notes that he cannot believe that this is the only detective from the Gunma prefecture that can help him out during a murder case.<ref name=Curry/> Misao also does other work in the department, including robbery cases, as well as covering traffic observations.<ref name=Contact>[[Contact with the Black Organization|Episode 309-311: Contact with the Black Organization]]</ref> He also has escorted criminals to different places.<ref name=Mitsuhiko>[[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|Episode 289-290: Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]</ref>

In time, Yamamura was finally named [[Police Organization|an inspector]], which he proudly showed off to Kogoro, Ran, and Conan. However, this annoyed Kogoro, who still called Yamamura "Yamamura-kei'''ji'''" (''Officer'' Yamamura) instead of "Yamamura-"kei'''bu'''" (''Inspector'' Yamamura); Conan expressed worry about the future of Gunma police with Yamamura in charge of other detectives, while Ran appeared to be the only one in support of Yamamura's new promotion.<ref name=Witch>[[The Witch Enshrouded by Fog|Episode 545-546: The Witch Enshrouded by Fog]]</ref> Later, he is revealed to work for Division 1 of the prefectural police department which covers only homicide.<ref>[[The Dangerous Fossil Finding Trip|Episode 939: The Dangerous Fossil Finding Trip]]</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[Image:Misao scared.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Misao is terrified.]]
For being a detective, Yamamura makes many unnecessary mistakes, including not noticing completely obvious clues, and even feels fear at the sight of blood or a dead body. He is also incredibly naive and superstitious, fully believing that a "curse" was left by ghosts in a case, to the point of being scared.<ref name=Window/> He even messes up in trying to escort a criminal to Nakanojō forest, deserting his own post because he wanted to buy himself some lunch.<ref name=Mitsuhiko/> He also does not act in good conduct, publicly fawning over Yukiko Kudo when he found out who she was.<ref name=Misao/> Misao also once got heavily distracted by a portable television that he brought during a case because he had wanted to watch a romantic drama that was airing at the time of an investigation.<ref name=Sonoko>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 466-467: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> And when it comes to Gunma, Misao doesn't even fully know the whole area, and has to be corrected by locals on certain things.<ref name=Snowman>[[The Unsmashable Snowman|Episode 457-458: The Unsmashable Snowman]]</ref>

However, even though he is a little clueless, Yamamura still knows the basics of his work and what to do in a crisis. For instance, he often writes in his notebook every piece of information he has been given about the case - even if that does not prevent him from forgetting what he has written,<ref>[[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|Episode 481-482: Mountain Witch's Cutlery]] where he forgets a name before realizing he had noted it in his notebook.</ref> He is also very supportive, and always wants to lend a helping hand in solving a case. He is not completely lost during murder cases, figuring it out when Conan has to resort to giving out hand signs to him due to losing his voice from a cold.<ref name=Curry>[[The Suspicious Spicy Curry|Episode 331-332: The Suspicious Spicy Curry]]</ref> Also, Misao is very handy in helping catch a criminal, having been used by Conan to help confront a criminal that was trying to proclaim their innocence.<ref name=Suspect /> He also helped catch another criminal, mostly through instructions Conan, pretending to be Kogoro, left for him on his cell phone as a text message.<ref name=Window>[[The Sealed Western-Style Window|Episode 446-447: The Sealed Western-Style Window]]</ref> He even tried giving Kogoro credit for the case, showing that unlike Kogoro, he can be modest.<ref name=Window/> However, Conan indicated in the text message that "Kogoro" wanted Misao to take all of the credit.<ref name=Window/>

[[Image:Misao and Conan.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan whispers to Misao an observation at a murder case.]]
[[Image:Misao's Cell.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yamamura's cell phone.]]
Whenever Yamamura is involved in catching a criminal, he tends to become very excited. He noted that it felt like a "movie" when he had to shoot one of the runaway robbers in a bank robbery case.<ref name=Contact/> He is extremely excited to be involved in helping [[Eri Kisaki]] and Conan catch the real killer in another case to the point of acting like a little kid after the killer was arrested, talking about how he acted and looked when confronting the killer.<ref name=Suspect/> His child-like reactions also manifest on the opposite end of the spectrum. One time when Yamamura decides that he is a bad police officer after making two big blunders during one case, it became up to Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys do their best to cheer him up so that he could feel better and lend them a hand in finding [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]].<ref name=Mitsuhiko/> Still, he is quite conscious of the importance of his role in society and his profession, making him in morale - if not in skill - a true police officer.<ref name=Mitsuhiko/>

== Plot overview ==
=== Suspicious Uncle Case (Manga: [[Volume 14#Suspicious Uncle Case|136-138]], Anime: [[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|96]]) ===
In his debut case, Yamamura is shown as being incredibly incompetent and Yukiko actually begins to feel sorry for him, and Conan feels that Kogoro is a genius compared to Yamamura. In the Funimation Dub, he explains his shock and squeamish nature around the murder victim as being due to the fact that he is actually the head of the Fraud Investigation Department, and that this is his first time working on a murder case, so he's not accustomed to seeing a cadaver. Initially, Conan plans on having Yukiko lipsync his deduction while using the Voice Changing Bow Tie, just like how he did with Agasa in episode 63. However, Yukiko refuses to help him out, forcing Conan to decide to knock out Yamamura to solve the case. However, part way through Conan's deduction, Yusaku shows up and sheds some light on more mysterious details that Conan had failed to notice. Yamamura would later wake up, though Yusaku convinced the culprit to go and speak with Inspector Megure.

Misao is the Gunma officer sent for the case because he knew Kogoro. He brings a camera and is excited by the idea of having an opportunity to record "Sleeping Kogoro" to show it to his Gunma co-workers. Nevertheless, he is not very helpful with resolving the case. He becomes disappointed at the end of the episode, realizing that he stopped his recording to save some battery and forgot to resume it later. He even asks Kogoro to repeat the deduction show so that he can get all of it on film.

Inspector Misao Yamamura arrived to investigate. Conan also tries to gather clues to help, but is limited to what he can do when a sneaky Eisuke starts to spy and watch him. Conan has to use different tactics so he won't seem suspicious to him. Conan sends a mail to Detective Yamamura as Mouri telling him who the actual culprit is. In the end, Conan said to himself, that the reason that he didn't put Detective Yamamura or Sonoko to sleep is because he noticed Eisuke was watching him.

Misao is the officer sent for this case, and brings a portable TV with him so that he will not miss his favorite drama, "The Maple Leaves of Winter", which he became a fan of, after his grandmother recommended it to him. This drama relates to the case, so he tries to make the suspects confess that they like the movie, without success. To his big disappointment, the drama episode that night was cancelled. He later appears to arrest the culprits, but only after they have already been defeated by [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Makoto Kyogoku|Makoto]].

=== Unsmashable Snowman Case (Manga: [[Volume 54#Unsmashable Snowman Case|557-558]], Anime: [[The Unsmashable Snowman|466-467]]) ===
Misao is sent for what seems to be a snowboard accident, and appears not to know the case's location very well, despite it being in Gunma. He first explains the victim's death as the result of a curse, and is then deeply convinced by the thesis of an accident; as a result, Conan tranquilizes him to expose the truth.

=== Onibaba Legend Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 56#Onibaba Legend Murder Case|580-581]], Anime: [[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|481-482]]) ===
In front of the events of the case, Misao first declares that the culprit is a member of the house - a correct conclusion - and wishes to proceed to a thorough investigation; however, realizing that none of the suspects could have committed the crime, he later concludes that the culprit is an outsider having used a trick. Misao is also surprised to encounter Agasa so frequently at crime scenes, and advices Conan to be exorcised of his habit of attracting crimes.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== A Mysterious Spring Beetle (Anime: [[A Mysterious Spring Beetle|360]]) ===

=== The Raven Chaser (Movie: [[The Raven Chaser|13]]) ===
One of the murders of the case having happened on the Gunma border, Misao is called onto the investigation. He behaves as he always does, is immediately despised by [[Kansuke Yamato]], and is even disrespectful towards [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]]. Misao is one of the few inspectors (with Sango) to follow Kogoro's whimsical theory about the murder, and he is eventually the only one to come with him when he leaves the headquarters on his own, saying he is going to catch the culprit. He still plays a role in the movie, by hearing Vermouth dialing her Boss' phone number; the tune unconsciously makes him whistle the ''[[Nanatsu no Ko]]'' song, leading Conan to suspect that a member of the Organization infiltrated the meeting.

=== The Devil Hidden in the Tennis Court (Anime: [[The Devil Hidden in the Tennis Court|602]]) ===

=== A Happy E-mail Brings Sadness (Anime: [[A Happy E-mail Brings Sadness|726]]) ===

=== The Dangerous Fossil Finding Trip (Anime: [[The Dangerous Fossil Finding Trip|939]]) ===
In the Onino village, Yamamura is called there after a possible murder has occured at the village's fossil excavating site and museum's toilet. The victim was the museum's owner who was poisoned and Yamamura quickly deduced that the victim is likely to have been murdered and that the two other guests are the suspects. After the sunset, Conan used Agasa to solve the case instead of Yamamura and, seeing the culprit, Yamamura exclaims himself that the culprit must show remorse and atone for his crimes which stuns the forensics officer and Conan before making a thumbs up since the case is solved. The [[Detective Boys]] approve his statement and make also a thumbs up except for Haibara who just stares at him. He then laughs out just like Kogoro.

=== Rube Goldberg Machine (Anime: [[Rube Goldberg Machine|1111-1112]]) ===
[[File:EP1112-13.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|Yamamura making a (non-sense) deduction.]]
While Yamamura is investigating a murder case within a villa resort, he meets Kogoro, Ran, and Conan, who also happen to be nearby. According to Conan's deduction, the victim in this murder case is murdered by a convoluted mechanical gimmick that undergoes several complicated movements and eventually combine to contribute to carry out a simple intent - in this case, murdering. This type of machine is generally being called "Rube Goldberg Machine". The victim is apparently the CEO and founder of a well-known restaurant "Cheom Cheom", which specialises in making Yangnyeom chicken. After some brief investigations, Yamamura finds out that the suspects with regards to this case seem to be somewhat intricate; therefore, Yamamura and the Mouri family start to fumble the case further. They then encounter numerous incidents that happened, related to the case, but just like a Rube Goldberg Machine, acting as each piece of device that makes up a Rube Goldberg Machine, propagating by every element...

[[File:EP1112-21.jpeg|thumb|left|200px|Yamamura appearing on the TV.]]

After some indescribable efforts they etch, Conan figures out the truth to all of these Rube Goldberg Machine-like murder cases, and Inspector Yamamura gatheres all of the suspects at the police station. Due to the fact that Conan was originally using Shinichi Kudo's name to grant some findings to Yamamura, this made Yamamura think that Shinichi was in fact working alongside with him. Just as he explains the situation, he mentions about Shinichi: "Great detective Kogoro Mouri is here... but," says Yamamura. "the greater detective Kudo..." Conan then perceives that by letting Yamamura finishing this sentence, it might shatter Kogoro's vanity, and also make Ran feel confused. So right in time, Conan tranquillizes him and takes over this awkward speech, "Kudo Shinichi won't be solving this case either." Conan solves the case superbly with Yamamura fully asleep.

After all of that, Yamamura gained popularity, and the case got rather famous. He was interviewed and his speech was braodcast on the TV. In that programme, Yamamura claims that "their daily efforts that turned luck their way in the first place".

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Kogoro Mouri ===
[[File:Kogoro and Misao Relationship.png|thumb|200px|right|Kogoro and Misao]]
Misao met [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] from the [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|case]]. He is a very big fan of him, to the point of fawning over him, acting as if he was Mouri's biggest fan, and often being the only one to approve and follow his more bizarre deductions. He considers that they are partners and that, when on a case together, they have a 100% chance to catch the criminal; however, Kogoro does not approve of the "partner" appellation.<ref name=Eisuke1st/> Misao is very disappointed when he cannot film Kogoro during his "sleeping" form, musing that he wanted to show the other detectives at the Gunma Police Department.<ref name=Imposter>[[Kogoro Mouri's Imposter|Episode 243-244: Kogoro Mouri's Imposter]]</ref> However, when he finally does get to film Kogoro's sleeping deduction, he leaves the camera on pause during the whole deduction, showing off his carelessness.<ref name=Eisuke1st>[[Two People Who Can't Return|Episode 429-430: Two People Who Can't Return]]</ref> He even cries heavily when he thinks that Kogoro has killed himself, not knowing that it was merely an imposter that looked like him.<ref name=Imposter/> However, this does not mean that Kogoro doesn't fall victim to Misao's bad deductions; the first time that Misao meets him, he announces that Kogoro is the killer without barely any evidence at all.<ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> Although Kogoro does not like his detective skills, he considers Yamamura a friend on a purely personal level, especially when both detectives drink together.<ref name=Imposter/>

=== Misae Yamamura ===
[[Misae Yamamura]] is Misao Yamamura's paternal grandmother. They are very close. She lives in the Tottori prefecture, and he often talks about calling or visiting her. They seem to have the same interests: she recommended a romantic drama to Misao which later captivated him.<ref>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 466-467]]: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief</ref>

=== Hiromitsu Morofushi ===
When Yamamura was young, he was friends with Hiromitsu Morofushi who called him Mit-Chan. Together they built a hideout in a forest between Nagano and Gunma, and being closer by talking about their dream as police officer, but then Hiromitsu was moved to Tokyo, Yamamura who was unknown whereabout he is, still wating at a hideout, and trying to find a contact but failed, when Yamamura grow up, he became police officer as they dreamt, but still want to meet Morofushi, before the Nagano-Gunma case, he recieved a mystery envelope from Hiromitsu, but can't solve the mystery, until Takaa'ki helping, he found the answer that Hiromitsu becomes police force, he becomes devastated that Hiromitsu left the police force, after know the semitruth from Takaa'ki, he have a hope that someday they will meet each other again, unknown that it's impossible anymore, because Hiromitsu was dead in the mission.

=== Taka'aki Morofushi ===
[[File:Misao and Taka'aki relationship.png|thumb|200px|right|Misao and Taka'aki]]
Yamamura and Morofushi are good acquaintances, although they are jokingly at odds since they are from neighbouring prefectures. When Yamumura first met Taka'aki Morofushi, he recalled how similar Taka'aki and Hiromitsu, Yamamura's childhood friend, looked. He revealed to Yamamura that he was his brother, which made them even closer, and both solved the case together along with Yamato, Yui and the Mouri family. He however kept it from Yamamura that his brother died, since Hiromitsu was a dear friend of his and he wants Yamamura to keep the hope that both made it to the force.

== Name origin ==
Yamamura's name comes from mystery writer [[wikipedia:Misa Yamamura|Misa Yamamura]]. In the english Funimation Dub, his surname is a reference to detective series Magnum P.I.

His last name Yamamura (山村) translates as "mountain village". His first name Misao (ミサオ) may have the meaning "chastity, fidelity", but since it is written with purely phonetic Katakana, no definite meaning can be assigned to it.

Voice-Changing Bowtie

The {{nihongo|'''Voice-Changing Bowtie'''|蝶ネクタイ型変声機|Chō Nekutai-gata Henseiki}} is the first gadget created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] for [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].

== Description ==

By turning the dial on the back Conan is able to imitate all kinds of voices that he hears. When Conan isn't wearing the bowtie, he'll usually store it away in a pocket until he needs it. This gadget is usually used together with the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], prior to receiving it, Conan was shown to knock Kogoro unconscious by kicking an ashtray, though there are some cases he solves as Kogoro such as [[Kogoro's Date Murder Case|episode 95]] where Kogoro is knocked out by accident, forcing Conan to use his bow tie.

Voice changing bow tie has a megaphone mode as shown in File 998.

There is a white version of the bow tie as shown only in episode 505-506, and 520.

=== Technical details ===

[[File:vlcsnap-2019-01-05-11h48m34s096.png|thumb|left|Bowtie Specifications]]
The theory behind the Voice-Changing Bowtie is that it works on a frequency modifier system based on patterns from the voice it is to emulate. Voice changers are real technology.

In the real world the Voice-Changing Bowtie has many flaws, such as the frequency response for the size of the speakers in the bowtie wouldn't be able to reproduce frequency of a voice realistically. The frequency modifier, in most cases, wouldn't be able reproduce the subtle but also distinguishable variations of another persons voice. In order to even change the sound in the first place they will need components such as a mic, speaker, processor and powerful batteries to keep it all running. Last but not least the Voice-Changing Bowtie needs to have Conan voice inverted to cancel out his voice completely, otherwise it would be present and noticeable. As this is a fictional drama with many factual references take it with a grain of salt that this is subject to a persons imagination, but these types of technology can and will be possible in the near future if they utilise extremely thin and small magnetic speakers which can accurately reproduce the frequencies accordingly, and the other components reduce drastically in size.

==Usage==
''Under Construction''

In most cases, Conan will use the bowtie to simulate Kogoro's voice; and less frequently Sonoko's to solve a case, and in other cases he's had Agasa lip sync or phoned in as Shinichi Kudo to solve the case, and a handful of times has solved cases as Misao Yamamura. In some unique situations, Conan used the bowtie to take other people's voices, such as Heiji Hattori in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case|Holmes Freak Murder]] or Eri Kisaki in [[Magician of the Silver Sky]]. The voice-changing function on the bowtie works by turning the dial behind the left bow to a different preset number. In the anime [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Luxury_Liner_Serial_Murder_Case Episode 23], Conan mentioned in his inner speech that Kogoro Mouri's voice is stored in preset number 59.
===Kogoro Mouri===
Below is the list of episodes in which Conan mimicked Kogoro's voice. "???" means that the information needs to be verified.

Voice-Changing Bowtie

The {{nihongo|'''Voice-Changing Bowtie'''|蝶ネクタイ型変声機|Chō Nekutai-gata Henseiki}} is the first gadget created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] for [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].

== Description ==

By turning the dial on the back Conan is able to imitate all kinds of voices that he hears. When Conan isn't wearing the bowtie, he'll usually store it away in a pocket until he needs it. This gadget is usually used together with the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], prior to receiving it, Conan was shown to knock Kogoro unconscious by kicking an ashtray, though there are some cases he solves as Kogoro such as [[Kogoro's Date Murder Case|episode 95]] where Kogoro is knocked out by accident, forcing Conan to use his bow tie.

Voice changing bow tie has a megaphone mode as shown in File 998.

There is a white version of the bow tie as shown only in episode 505-506, and 520.

=== Technical details ===

[[File:vlcsnap-2019-01-05-11h48m34s096.png|thumb|left|Bowtie Specifications]]
The theory behind the Voice-Changing Bowtie is that it works on a frequency modifier system based on patterns from the voice it is to emulate. Voice changers are real technology.

In the real world the Voice-Changing Bowtie has many flaws, such as the frequency response for the size of the speakers in the bowtie wouldn't be able to reproduce frequency of a voice realistically. The frequency modifier, in most cases, wouldn't be able reproduce the subtle but also distinguishable variations of another persons voice. In order to even change the sound in the first place they will need components such as a mic, speaker, processor and powerful batteries to keep it all running. Last but not least the Voice-Changing Bowtie needs to have Conan voice inverted to cancel out his voice completely, otherwise it would be present and noticeable. As this is a fictional drama with many factual references take it with a grain of salt that this is subject to a persons imagination, but these types of technology can and will be possible in the near future if they utilise extremely thin and small magnetic speakers which can accurately reproduce the frequencies accordingly, and the other components reduce drastically in size.

==Usage==
''Under Construction''

In most cases, Conan will use the bowtie to simulate Kogoro's voice; and less frequently Sonoko's to solve a case, and in other cases he's had Agasa lip sync or phoned in as Shinichi Kudo to solve the case, and a handful of times has solved cases as Misao Yamamura. In some unique situations, Conan used the bowtie to take other people's voices, such as Heiji Hattori in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case|Holmes Freak Murder]] or Eri Kisaki in [[Magician of the Silver Sky]]. The voice-changing function on the bowtie works by turning the dial behind the left bow to a different preset number. In the anime [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Luxury_Liner_Serial_Murder_Case Episode 23], Conan mentioned in his inner speech that Kogoro Mouri's voice is stored in preset number 59.
===Kogoro Mouri===
Below is the list of episodes in which Conan mimicked Kogoro's voice. "???" means that the information needs to be verified.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Eri meets up with four other lawyers, one female, and the others male. Kogoro later gets drunk and falls asleep in the bedroom of the female lawyer's room. When they return to the room, she's dead, and the door is locked from the inside, making Kogoro the prime suspect.

| location = Karuizawa Hotel
| victim = Ritsuko Usui
| age = 32 years old
| cause-death = Strangulation
| suspects = [[Kogoro Mouri]]
| suspects-label = Suspect
| description = Ritsuko Usui, one of Eri's associates, was found murdered in her hotel room. The room was sealed off by the door chain, making it impossible for no one else but Kogoro, who had been sleeping inside the room, to commit the murder. Will Kogoro be given a life sentence, or worse, death penalty, for a crime he didn't commit?
}}

==== Part 2 ====
Eri pretends to believe that Kogoro is the criminal in order to decieve the true culprit. She and Conan search for clues in order to clear his name, and find a way to trick the true culprit into revealing that he's the criminal.

=== People ===

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Norifumi Saku''' who originally planned to form a suicide case but that was hindered due to Kogoro's presence during that event. He was tricked onto entering a room, where he believes belongs to the victim's and began his contradictions of him being the murderer. The DND (Do Not Disturb) sign was hung on the door knob was evident that he was unaware that the victim had arranged a meeting with a lawyer named Hayashi at 2 o'clock and mistook the note with 'Hayashi, 2' as a memo for a order on Hayashi rice for 2, due to a menu that was lying next to the note. The other note on the door with 'Pay later'-message was referring to the non-existing order. After strangling his victim, he placed Kogoro's cellphone near the door so when they everyone arrives and calls, Kogoro could become the primary suspect. The motive for the killer was to end the victims' own devious intentions of "torturing villages" and gaining reputation by overruling Eri as the lawyer. The scandal had affected his birth town, and he wanted the responsible punished. He wouldn't have killed her, if she 'just' did her job, but he was further enraged when he discovered that she attempted to make Kogoro appear to have an affair while being under the influence of sleeping drugs, a plan that would create the biggest scandal to defame Eri of her popularity. He swears that after the case, victim was working on, was done, he would have turned himself in and hand over the evidence.

Afterwards, Kogoro tries to ask Eri to return home with him, since he's getting bored of Ran's cooking. Eri pretends not to hear and later at her office, listens again to the recording of Kogoro's plead for her return and she not ready to forgive him yet.</spoiler>

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

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

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

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

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

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

== Trivia ==
* Despite his face not being shown on-screen, this marks the first time Detective Takagi is listed in the ending credits. He's the inspector that brings the box of Tatsuya's items to Inspector Megure.
* In [[Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case]], Conan thought to himself that "I asked the Inspector not to release my 'real name'", referring to this case.
* This is the first Christmas themed episode of the anime, and is also the first case directly solved by Shinichi Kudo in front of everyone as opposed to him knocking out Sonoko Suzuki.
** The reason why he did this was to let Ran know he was still alive and well and to not make her worry.
** He did also solve the case in the 10th episode over the phone using his voice changing bow tie to help as Shinichi, though this was done privately, whereas in this case he calls in and solves it in front of all the suspects and Inspector Megure and Ran and Sonoko.

While at a painting exhibit in Beika Art Museum, Conan notices a man in rag examining a picture. The next day while playing baseball with his friends, he notices the man again. After being asked about his drawings of a home, the man realizes he has been drawing unconsciously, and holds his head in pain. In the hospital, he was revealed to have been affected by amnesia and the pain was his returning memories. Later that day, the man runs away from the hospital. The next day while playing baseball, Genta finds the man dead.

Using the sketch book in the dead man's possession, the Detective Boys are able to locate the house that match the pictures in the sketch book. The four of them traces the sketch trail to a house owned by a woman named Kimie Hayase, who had ordered a cleaning company to clean her entire house. The lady gives the Detective Boys some lemonade while Conan notices that the placement of the funitures in the living room is different from the sketch. The group notice a picture of Kimie's former husband who shares the exact features with the man who was murdered. However, Kimie denies their claim, as her husband had already perished a year ago.

Later, Conan informs Ran and Kogoro about the case's situation, prompting Kogoro to remember a case about the missing man which happened roughly a year ago.

Because the deceased Tatsuo has no family left other than his wife, the police ask Kimie to identify the man's body. While agreeing that the man greatly resembles her late husband, she claims that the two are different people. Kimie then criticizes Takagi for smoking his the interrogation room before continues that she loathes her husband for the crime he committed, resulted in her being condemned by the society, and in the attempt to forget him she threw away all of his possessions. Conan, believing that the deceased man is truly Tatsuo, visits the house again to find concrete evidence. Noticing the expensive painting that Kimie had just bought from the art gallery, Conan figures out the truth and call everyone to the place as he explains them through the stunned Kogoro.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan finds out that the man is Tatsuo Hayase, an artist who's been missing for a year. His wife, Kimie, is the only one who can identify the body but she proclaims it's not him. Conan proves that the murdered man is Tatsuo by the fingerprints he left behind when he came home after regaining his memories. Conan reveals that the murderer is '''Kimie Hayase'''.

==== Motive ====
Kimie murdered her husband in order to claim the embezzled money as payback at him for leaving her to be condemned by the society for the crime that he had committed, and she planned to use them to bring back "the time that she had lost". Conan, while showing little to no amount of sympathy, informs her of her wrongness with "she still has a lot of time behind the bars".</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
While at a painting exhibit in Beika Art Museum, Conan notices a man in rag examining a picture. The next day while playing baseball with his friends, he notices the man again. After being asked about his drawings of a home, the man realizes he has been drawing unconsciously, and holds his head in pain. In the hospital, he was revealed to have been affected by amnesia and the pain was his returning memories. Later that day, the man runs away from the hospital. The next day while playing baseball, Genta finds the man dead.

Using the sketch book in the dead man's possession, the Detective Boys are able to locate the house that match the pictures in the sketch book. The four of them traces the sketch trail to a house owned by a woman named Kimie Hayase, who had ordered a cleaning company to clean her entire house. The lady gives the Detective Boys some lemonade while Conan notices that the placement of the funitures in the living room is different from the sketch. The group notice a picture of Kimie's former husband who shares the exact features with the man who was murdered. However, Kimie denies their claim, as her husband had already perished a year ago.

Later, Conan informs Ran and Kogoro about the case's situation, prompting Kogoro to remember a case about the missing man which happened roughly a year ago.

Because the deceased Tatsuo has no family left other than his wife, the police ask Kimie to identify the man's body. While agreeing that the man greatly resembles her late husband, she claims that the two are different people. Kimie then criticizes Takagi for smoking his the interrogation room before continues that she loathes her husband for the crime he committed, resulted in her being condemned by the society, and in the attempt to forget him she threw away all of his possessions. Conan, believing that the deceased man is truly Tatsuo, visits the house again to find concrete evidence. Noticing the expensive painting that Kimie had just bought from the art gallery, Conan figures out the truth and call everyone to the place as he explains them through the stunned Kogoro.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan finds out that the man is Tatsuo Hayase, an artist who's been missing for a year. His wife, Kimie, is the only one who can identify the body but she proclaims it's not him. Conan proves that the murdered man is Tatsuo by the fingerprints he left behind when he came home after regaining his memories. Conan reveals that the murderer is '''Kimie Hayase'''.

==== Motive ====
Kimie murdered her husband in order to claim the embezzled money as payback at him for leaving her to be condemned by the society for the crime that he had committed, and she planned to use them to bring back "the time that she had lost". Conan, while showing little to no amount of sympathy, informs her of her wrongness with "she still has a lot of time behind the bars".</spoiler>

Ran and Conan are at Sonoko's place for her big sister, Ayako. Ayako is getting married so she’s there to meet her new dad-in-law. However, when they are at their house, they witness a murder outside in the rain. The victim is the dad-in-law, Tetsuharu Tomizawa. The killer at first looks like Ayako's fiancé, but then they find out he's the younger of triplet sons, and nevermind their more or less different looks they all have the same eyes, the only part of the killer that Ayako, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan saw. Which of the triplets is the real murderer: eldest son Taichi, second son Tatsuji, or youngest son Yuzo?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan is sure its one of the triplets. Since Kogoro isn't with them, he uses Sonoko instead. The culprit is the eldest triplet, '''Taichi Tomizawa'''. He told them that he has an alibi. He said that he was at the pachinko at the time of 11:30 PM. However, according to the law, every pachinko must be closed after 11:00 PM meaning that Taichi is lying and lacking a good alibi. In fact, at the time of 11:30 PM, he was really in the house, hiding. He followed the match there. When it ended, he recorded his message on the answerphone, having previously changed the time to an earlier one. All of this were to make them believe that he were calling at the time of murder. Then, he changed the time back and waited for his father to come back home. When he got back, he killed him with a stone. Taichi knew everything of what was happening because he was listening to them using a mike. He hid the mike in the watch of his father. Using it, it would be easy to follow every occurrence, from the match to his father's return. After the murder, he took the watch to get rid of any evidence. He also break the satellite to force his father to come there. There was a power cut during ten minutes at 11:30. If the power is cut, the answerphone stops working all. Of course, the clock still works because of batteries and we can still phone but it's impossible to record a message when there is no electricity. It would take an incredible luck to make his message and the time of the murder matched and that is the proof that he is the only one who can change the time on the answerphone. This is the evidence that Taichi is the culprit. He did it for the money and inheritance to be able to go on writing. He had less work and was starting to lose money so he asked his father to give him and that's when he understood. His father was pressuring his editor to make him refuse the work that he was asked to do. Taichi thought that his father wanted him to stop writing so that he could follow his steps in the company. When he found out that his father was coming to see Yuzo's fiancee, he found it a good chance to commit the murder. That's why he offered him the watch with the mike and broke the satellite. He also thought of getting Yuzo accused so that his part of heritage would be bigger. He did all of this to be able to continue to write. He is soon arrested.</spoiler>

==== Part 1 ====
Conan thinks about Kohji Haneda's murder case. The website with the information has been taken down and hasn't been re-uploaded yet. But Kogoro get a call from the TV-station giving him an offer to appear in a show with Gaito Hotta, a known 'spirit-detective', who claims that he is going to call Kōji Haneda's spirit and have him reveal the truth of the murder. Conan suspects that Hotta might have dig up some information on the murder and tags along with Kogorō to meet him. In the taxi Kogoro and Conan discuss Hotta. Gaito Hotta is a TV-personality, who claims to solve mysteries by contacting the souls of dead people. Kogoro explain that Hotta is a fraud who had been exposed once during a case about a missing climber. A body had been found, but it was a completely different person. And it has been proved that Hotta had paid people to testify false witness statements and had done some investigation beforehand. Now he is probably trying to do a comeback. Conan guess that Hotta has chosen the Haneda murder, because it was so long ago, but Conan decides to see if Hotta has some information that can help him in figuring out Rum's identity.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Sanpei Kokuri'''. The motive was that Hotta used his late sister's corpse for his show. A few years ago Kokuri's sister committed suicide in the mountains due to a break-up. But her body was never found. Later Hotta was making a show in the mountain (most likely in connection with a missing person case, that Conan and Kogorō discussed in the taxi) and 'found' the body claiming to have 'felt' its spirit. Kokuri realized that Hotta must have found his sister's body a long time ago, but instead of reporting it to the police, he had buried it to use it in his show. So he killed Hotta in revenge for having humiliated her.

[[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] calls [[Mary Sera|Mary]] 'mama', Indicating she is her mother. The only thing that Hotta knew is that someone saw Asaka holding a small mirror and that he believed Asaka, the bodyguard, is a woman. Mary considers that information boring and warns Masumi that she should be careful around Conan and that he may not be the same boy they met ten years ago.
Later at night, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] talk about the case. Gin comments that Rum screwed up in the [[Case from 17 years ago]]. Gin is more concerned about the fact that Kogoro went to investigate the murder. Gin immediately suggests that Kogoro be ''finished off'' before he becomes more of a threat.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The manga begins when Conan passes by the Poirot, whereas the anime begins by showing Conan walking down a street, and one minute after, passing by the Poirot.
* When Kogoro is on the phone being tricked into appearing in a TV show with "Soul Detective" Hotta Gaito, the person on the phone tells him he'll star in a show with Yoko Okino. In the anime, a visual with Kogoro and Yoko Okino in disguise and a banner with "Solve the cold case!!" written on it are shown. This was not in the manga.
* The scene where Conan thinks: "I see, that's how it is!" is longer in the anime, because flashbacks of episode 862 are shown.

== Trivia ==
* The name Gaito Hotta (katakana: '''ホ'''ッ'''タガイト''') comes from "poltergeist" ('''ポ'''ル'''タ'''ー'''ガイ'''ス'''ト''').
* The name '''San'''pei '''Kokuri''' comes from "''Kokkuri-san''" ([[Wikipedia: table-turning|table-turning]]).
* Gin and Vodka are shown entering a black Porsche with the license plate "48-69", but there is a temporary mistake where the license plate is written as "43-68" when the car is leaving the parking lot.
* This is the first time a case is solved via someone else using the Voice Changing Bow Tie instead of Conan.
** It's worth mentioning that in at least 2 prior cases that Conan was demonstrated as having a spare Voice Changing Bow Tie, though that one is white, and he likely doesn't carry around a second bow tie with him, nor would he carry around the voice changing face mask.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>'''Miho Nishitani''' used a poisoned Guts-man drink to kill Tatsuya Nagai. He had pushed her down a set of stairs in public after she called the cops on him for stalking her. Worrying for her life, she knew a stalker would even want to drink what she did, purchasing a Guts-man drink in advance and putting poison in it. She did purchase another bottle from the machine, but pretended to get it, taking out the poisoned bottle instead and pretending to drink it. She left it behind on a fence for Tatsuya to drink. However, two things were wrong with the plan: a sticker on the bottle containing the poison advertised a contest that was already over, and the machine would not likely still have any left. Secondly, Kogoro found the bottle she actually paid for, but mistook it for a machine error for getting a second bottle for free. Another thing she not expect was that Nagai had made a hidden camera, hidden in his lighter which he used to take pictures of her actually committing the murder in the exact way Conan described.

Miho says that she was too afraid knowing Tatsuya had planned to kill her eventually and the police would not help her so she decided to take matters into her own hands. Sympathetic as Miho is, a self-defense plea will '''not''' count in her case: self-defense can only be invoked if there's no premeditation, and since Miho made a whole plan to kill Nagai, it doesn't apply. However, there ''is'' evidence in Miho's favor: a bag containing an assortment of harmful tools was found by Conan in the bushes outside her home, with Tatsuya's fingerprints. This means, he had been planning on not only killing her but also torturing her in ways too gruesome to imagine. Due to this evidence, Miho will likely receive a light sentence: self-defense may not be technically appliable, but she ''was'' in a desperate enough situation to warrant killing Tatsuya to save herself.

Afterwards, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan discuss the case and how Miho had feared for life so much that she resorted to committing murder. Kogoro comments that had she not killed Tatsuya, they would have been investigating her murder instead. Ran also comments how this could happen to any woman at any time, but Kogoro laughs this off saying no one obsess over her. Insulted, Ran slices off the top of the Guts-man Soda bottle Kogoro is holding with a karate chop, frightening both Conan and Kogoro.</spoiler>

* The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Tatsuya Nagai - Cary Mantle
:* Miho Nishitani - Quinly Peartree

:* Haido- chou Family Restaurant - Greasy Meat Diner

== Trivia ==
* This episode features the first use of the show's fifth post-credits stinger image, featuring Ran and Conan rushing toward the foreground, with a grim-looking Shinichi in the background.
* This episode was likely inspired by the real life Vending Machine Killer, an unidentified serial killer or killers in Japan who tampered with drinks from vending machines. Around the time of the initial murders, the culprit was targeting vending machines that had no CCTV cameras and tampered with a specific type of energy drink, and the poison used was a pesticide that is lethal in humans and currently has no know treatment or antidote for, and the anime similarly identifies the poison as being a phosphoric acid compound typically used in pesticides. The company in the episode is similarly running a contest, which Conan realizes is a clue to identifying the culprit, and the energy drink targeted in real life was running a "Buy 1 get 1 free" promotion at the time, and since many people were only wanting 1 drink, they would leave the extra bottles in the pickup slot at the vending machine or next to the machine. Given that this was the early to mid 80's, and that compared to western countries like the United States or Canada, Japan has a low crime rate and typically people there wouldn't be as suspicious of a free full bottle by a vending machine, this likely is why there were so many victims. Kogoro even finds an extra bottle in the pickup slot but is cautioned against drinking it by Ran and Conan.
** The drink in the real life cases is known as Paraquat, and is also an energy drink. In the episode, just like in the real life cases, the culprit bought a beverage from a vending machine that had no CCTV cameras near it so as to avoid being caught easily, though it should be mentioned that the Paraquat murders were indiscriminate homicides, while in the episode there's a specific target in mind that the culprit intended to kill.
* While the poison used in the episode is determined to be a phosphoric acid compound, this is actually a bit ironic, as plenty of soft drinks like Coca-Cola use phosphoric acid as an ingredient, though in very small amounts.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>'''Miho Nishitani''' used a poisoned Guts-man drink to kill Tatsuya Nagai. He had pushed her down a set of stairs in public after she called the cops on him for stalking her. Worrying for her life, she knew a stalker would even want to drink what she did, purchasing a Guts-man drink in advance and putting poison in it. She did purchase another bottle from the machine, but pretended to get it, taking out the poisoned bottle instead and pretending to drink it. She left it behind on a fence for Tatsuya to drink. However, two things were wrong with the plan: a sticker on the bottle containing the poison advertised a contest that was already over, and the machine would not likely still have any left. Secondly, Kogoro found the bottle she actually paid for, but mistook it for a machine error for getting a second bottle for free. Another thing she not expect was that Nagai had made a hidden camera, hidden in his lighter which he used to take pictures of her actually committing the murder in the exact way Conan described.

Miho says that she was too afraid knowing Tatsuya had planned to kill her eventually and the police would not help her so she decided to take matters into her own hands. Sympathetic as Miho is, a self-defense plea will '''not''' count in her case: self-defense can only be invoked if there's no premeditation, and since Miho made a whole plan to kill Nagai, it doesn't apply. However, there ''is'' evidence in Miho's favor: a bag containing an assortment of harmful tools was found by Conan in the bushes outside her home, with Tatsuya's fingerprints. This means, he had been planning on not only killing her but also torturing her in ways too gruesome to imagine. Due to this evidence, Miho will likely receive a light sentence: self-defense may not be technically appliable, but she ''was'' in a desperate enough situation to warrant killing Tatsuya to save herself.

Afterwards, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan discuss the case and how Miho had feared for life so much that she resorted to committing murder. Kogoro comments that had she not killed Tatsuya, they would have been investigating her murder instead. Ran also comments how this could happen to any woman at any time, but Kogoro laughs this off saying no one obsess over her. Insulted, Ran slices off the top of the Guts-man Soda bottle Kogoro is holding with a karate chop, frightening both Conan and Kogoro.</spoiler>

=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Tatsuya Nagai - Cary Mantle
:* Miho Nishitani - Quinly Peartree
:* Guts-man - Shugi Soda
:* Midori Dai, 3rd District - 1774 Perrybolt LN, Polbe District 55478
:* Haido- chou Family Restaurant - Greasy Meat Diner

== Trivia ==
* This episode features the first use of the show's fifth post-credits stinger image, featuring Ran and Conan rushing toward the foreground, with a grim-looking Shinichi in the background.
* This episode was likely inspired by the real life Vending Machine Killer, an unidentified serial killer or killers in Japan who tampered with drinks from vending machines. Around the time of the initial murders, the culprit was targeting vending machines that had no CCTV cameras and tampered with a specific type of energy drink, and the poison used was a pesticide that is lethal in humans and currently has no know treatment or antidote for, and the anime similarly identifies the poison as being a phosphoric acid compound typically used in pesticides. The company in the episode is similarly running a contest, which Conan realizes is a clue to identifying the culprit, and the energy drink targeted in real life was running a "Buy 1 get 1 free" promotion at the time, and since many people were only wanting 1 drink, they would leave the extra bottles in the pickup slot at the vending machine or next to the machine. Given that this was the early to mid 80's, and that compared to western countries like the United States or Canada, Japan has a low crime rate and typically people there wouldn't be as suspicious of a free full bottle by a vending machine, this likely is why there were so many victims. Kogoro even finds an extra bottle in the pickup slot but is cautioned against drinking it by Ran and Conan.
** The drink in the real life cases is known as Paraquat, and is also an energy drink. In the episode, just like in the real life cases, the culprit bought a beverage from a vending machine that had no CCTV cameras near it so as to avoid being caught easily, though it should be mentioned that the Paraquat murders were indiscriminate homicides, while in the episode there's a specific target in mind that the culprit intended to kill.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Heiji invites Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to visit him in [[Wikipedia: Osaka|Osaka]], taking them on a sightseeing tour. In a restaurant, they run into Kazuha Toyama, Heiji's childhood friend, who appears to be jealous of Ran, asking her if she's "that Kudo girl" that Heiji keeps talking about and telling Ran to back off, because Heiji and her have been "joined by steel" for ages. Ran laughs and explains herself and the two girls hit it off. After finishing their meal, Kazuha joins them on their exploration of the city, but, as they leave the restaurant, a dead body falls from the roof of the building, hitting Kogoro's rental car.

The police arrive and quickly realise that this newest victim, a man in his forties, has been killed in the same fashion as two other people who died a few days earlier, by being stabbed in the heart through their wallets.

Conan joins Ran and Kazuha who tell him that Osaka Police have discovered the hiding place of a criminal on the run, and that they suspect said criminal, Kiichiro Numabuchi, to be involved in the murders.

Yusuke's father Tetsuji was a driving instructor who died in an accident 20 years ago. Six of his students had played a prank on him by plying him with alcohol, and he suffered a fatal car crash. The students involved in the fatal prank were the four murder victims, MP Sotaro Goshi, and the escaped convict Numabuchi. They had done so because he was always strict with them and they hated that, all they wanted to do was scare him a little not kill him.

Sakata says he had always wondered about his father's death, he was usually a very careful driver. When he stumbled upon Numabuchi after he had escaped from prison, the latter got frightened and asked "Instructor Inaba" immediately for forgiveness, confusing Yusuke with his father. Yusuke heard the true story behind his father's death and forced Numabuchi to stay in the hut in the forest, planning to take revenge on the other five students before eventually framing Numabuchi for the murders, and making his death look like a suicide.

Both Heiji and Sakata manage to escape blaze and are taken to the hospital, however before being taken to the hospital Sakata talks to Ginshiro Toyama about everything that’s happened. When suddenly Sotaro Goshi tries to attack Sakata after learning he had killed his friends and was after him as well, but is stopped by Ginshiro who states that they need to have a conversation about his past, leaving Goshi hanging his head in shame.

=== Aftermath ===
Heiji after being rescued from the burning shack and is rushed to hospital, accompanied by a panicked Kazuha, Ran and Conan. He wakes up in the ambulance, and says he couldn't just let Sakata die as "some idiot told me once that a detective who doesn't do anything when a culprit, confronted with his deductions, commits suicide, is just as guilty of murder", and Conan is stunned that Heiji remembers him saying that. Heiji closes his eyes again, exhausted, and Kazuha starts to cry, believing he is about to die. Her sobs wake an angry Heiji up, he yells that he was just trying to sleep and she should stop being "so noisy". Smirking, Kazuha "accidentally" leans over Heiji and digs her elbow into his bullet wound. They bicker all the way to the hospital.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* In the manga, Heiji remarks that the trick that was used to make the corpse of the third victim fall to the ground is the same as [[Volume 13#Illustrator Murder Case|the one]] used in a case that Kogoro (or rather, Conan) solved before. This part was removed in the anime.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Kazuha Toyama - Kirsten Thomas
:* Ginshiro Toyama - Chief Thomas
:* Goro Otaki - Inspector Odin
:* Yusuke Sakata - Truman Salinger
:* Sotaro Goshi - Congressman Grady
:* Tayo Nishiguchi - Tammy Nightengale
:* Hidetoshi Nagao - Nathan Tollingsworth
:* Kazuto Noyasu - Castron Odalis
:* Sumie Okazaki - Susan Connely
:* Ki'ichiro Numabuchi - Cornelius Graver

== Rerun ==
* The episode was rerun on July 19, 2004. It was unchanged except for the addition of a new scene at the beginning.

== Trivia ==
* This is the only episode where [[Masato Sako]] voiced [[Ginshiro Toyama]], as he developed tongue cancer in July 2000 (thus cancelling all his acting plans) and later passed away on January 11, 2003.
* In the English Dub, for unknown reasons the last scene showing Hattori in the ambulance was cut out and never shown.
* These episodes mark the first use of the soundtrack from The Fourteenth Target.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Kouji Takeno'''. His reason was that both he and Ikuta were in love with the same woman, Keiko Togawa, but she died in a hiking incident where the group had to leave her in the mountains to search for help and couldn't return in time to save her from freezing to death. Later, Takeno found out that Ikuta messed up with the group in purpose to have the unfortunate Keiko dead since she rejected his affections in favor of Takeno's. Ikuta was actually ''bragging'' about it while drunkenly rambling to the also drunk Kusaka.

The weapon of choice was actually Takeno's socks, which are very resistent special socks used by sportsmen and specially by hikers. He easily filled them with lots of small rocks he got from an aquarium, since they wouldn't break; once he built a very hard and heavy "weapon", which would easily kill a person if used to hit them, Takeno put the used some fishing rope to tie everything up, and then launch it towards Ikuta, who was merely standing in the street while smoking.

Ikuta was a heavy smoker, so Takeno could easily see his lit cigarette and pinpoint his improvised "sock full of rocks" towards him; the blood in the different buildings came from the "sack" bouncing on them due to the full strength of the impact. The proof came when some strands of wool coming from the socks were found in the aquarium: Takeno returned the rocks to their original place but the tiny strands remained, and Takeno had not changed his socks, which had Ikuta's blood on them.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Yoshiro Ikuta - Zachery Byers
:* Masami Kusaka - Shane Vanderburg
:* Yoichi Shimizu - Buford Pulmer
:* Kouji Takeno - Torman Lloyd
:* Hidenori Nakamura - Ned Armstrong
:* Keiko Togawa - Pamela Harding
* In the Funimation Dub Kouji and Keiko had secretly eloped three weeks prior to the mountain trip, and he had taken a life insurance policy on her. When Yoshiro caught wind of his plan, Kouji had to cut him in. They worked together to kill Keiko for the money, however, when Kouji came to her, she was still alive, and he was the one that killed her, taking the chance as he was the first one in the group to reach her. His reason for killing Yoshiro in the dub was because Yoshiro was bragging about the plan while he was drunk.
* In the Funimation Dub, the mountain that Keiko/Pamela died on is stated to be in Alaska, as opposed to remaining unknown. Based on this, it's likely that the dub was referring to Mount Rainier, the tallest peak in North America and the trickiest to summit due to the remote location of the mountain, as Alaska is mostly vast wilderness without too many population centers.

== Trivia ==
* This is first episode where [[Wataru Takagi]] officially debuted in the anime, indicated by "Detective Takagi" written in the ending credit.
* Although only 17-year-old, Ran is shown purchasing alcoholic drinks from the convenience store. (Accurate reflection of society at the time.)

{{nihongo|'''Tequila'''|テキーラ|Tekīra}} is a [[Black Organization]] member who was killed by a bombing by accident. He works in the external division on computer software related development related tasks, presumably by recruiting, dealing with, and making exchanges with programmers.<ref name=CD237>Conan drill page 237</ref>

== Background ==
[[File:EP307 5.png|left|thumb|200px|Tequila as he leaves Itakura's office after being rejected, saying: "I don't need you anymore!"<ref>Manga, volume 37, file 377; anime episode 307.</ref>]]
Tequila was heard speaking in a Kansai dialect (Boston or New York accent in the [[Funimation]] dub) by [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. He is described by Conan as being very tall. Nothing much is known about him as he dies a few pages after he is introduced into the manga. Two years ago before Conan's encounter with Gin and Vodka, Tequila was negotiating with a famous computer system programmer [[Suguru Itakura]] and asked him if he could develop some software program that would be useful for the syndicate. Itakura described him in diary as someone who he won't want to meet ever again in his life. Ryusuke Soma, a game company executive described him as a suspicious large tall man with a big mustache. On the day of his death, he had a deal with a Mantendo game developer, Hideaki Nakajima. The deal was that Nakajima sold the organization a list of the world's top computer developers. The exchange happened that after both Tequila and Nakajima had check in their briefcases at a convention, they switch numbers and keys and afterwards claim their 'new' briefcases. However prior to the switch, a third party named Hironobu Takeshita, who had a grudge against Nakajima, put a bomb in his own briefcase and swapped keys and number secretly behind Nakajima's back to kill him with the bomb, so Tequila ended up the bomb instead and went to toilet to check the briefcase's contents and died.

== Personality ==
Being large in size, he usually intimidates people, which helps with his transactions. When he had his fateful encounter with Conan, he bumped into Conan and Hideaki Nakajima, knocking them to the floor. He didn't even apologize, and continued on his way. Also, when Conan pretended he dropped a 10 yen coin that had fallen beneath Tequila's shoe and really tried to stick a transmitter and bug on the sole of his shoe, Conan was hit hard by Tequila for annoying him. This shows Tequila has an impatient personality and isn't afraid to hit young children.

== Plot overview ==
=== Game Convention Case (Manga: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]]) ===
This is Tequila's introduction, and he's the first codenamed Black Organization agent featured in the show since Gin and Vodka in the 1st episode. Tequila had some dealings with the video game company Mantendo, and had requested a list of the top computer programmers in the world. The briefcase he has gets mixed up, and he is mistakenly killed when the briefcase he opens detonates a bomb, which was meant for someone else. Tequila speaks with Vodka over the phone in this episode, and argues a bit with him. Conan, upon realizing Tequila's codename and overhearing the conversation with Vodka, attempts to place the microphone from his glasses as well as the wireless transmitter to continue eavesdropping on his phone conversation and uses his Criminal Tracking Glasses to try and find Tequila's meeting place with Gin and Vodka, though Tequila is killed before the meeting takes place.

=== On the trail of the Silent Witness (Manga: [[Volume 37#Footsteps of Darkness|377-378]], Anime: [[On the Trail of a Silent Witness|307-308]]) ===
Associates of famed software programmer Suguru Itakura come to the Mouri Detective Agency and explain to Kogoro that Itakura has been missing for a few days, and that they're concerned that someone may have harmed Itakura, and mention that a few years prior, a tall man in a black suit with a mustache and Kansai dialect had visited Itakura requesting the completion of a computer program that Itakura had abandoned. They also mention that this man along with Itakura attended a Mantendo convention. Conan realizes that the man they described is Tequila, and Kogoro soon realizes that too, and briefly mentions the events of The Game Company Murder Case, explaining to the men that the person they described couldn't be responsible, as Tequila was killed in a bombing at a video game company in a case Kogoro solved a while back.
There is a flashback of Tequila at Itakura's office, and he appears in background shots a few times during the episode.

=== Meeting with Vodka (Manga: [[Volume 37#Meeting with Vodka|380]], Anime: [[Contact with the Black Organization|309]]) ===
Just like in the 2 previous episodes, Tequila appears in some background sequences, along with Gin, and Vodka, but only during the first part of the 3 episodes.

== Non-Canon Plot Overview ==
=== Movie 26 ===
* Tequila (after a 20 year absence) is mentioned during the cold opening for this film while Conan reflects on the fact that the male codename agents of the Black Organization are named after types of hard liquor AKA distilled spirits, in an attempt to deduce the identity of a new agent known as [[Pinga]]. Tequila has no lines and only appears briefly as a background character during Conan's brainstorm along with other male agents, both past and present, such as Gin, Vodka, [[Pisco]], [[Korn]], [[Irish]], [[Bourbon]] and [[Rum]].

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Gin ===
Although Tequila is a subordinate of [[Gin]]'s, he doesn't use honorifics like Vodka does<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> to refer to Gin, giving the impression Tequila and Gin appear equally ranked.<ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref>

=== Vodka ===
Tequila and [[Vodka]] are approximately equally ranked and both are Gin's subordinates.<ref name=CD239/>

=== Vermouth ===
Though not shown interacting together, it can be assumed that [[Vermouth]] likely did meet with Tequila in a coordinated effort to try and intimidate Suguru Itakura into completing the computer program for the Organization.

[[File:Screenshot 20240315-051246 Chrome.jpg|thumb|Movie 26]]

== Trivia ==
* He is one of the only codename agents, along with Gin, Vodka, and [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], to appear in the Funimation English dub.
* He is the first Black Organization member to be killed in the anime.
** He is also the first person to be killed by mistake in the series, as the briefcase bomb that killed him was actually meant for someone else entirely unrelated to him or the organization.
* Despite him being one of the earliest Black Organization agents to appear in the series, after his debut in [[Game Company Murder Case|Episode 54]], he wouldn't appear again until "On the Trail of the Silent Witness" case, which directly tied into the "[[Contact with the Black Organization]]" case, which aired in 2003, over 6 years after Tequila's introduction. His debut episode was the season 2 finale, and despite it being a big deal about the Organization appearing, the very next episode makes absolutely no mention of the Black Organization or Conan's encounter with Tequila. He has one of, if not the longest gap between appearances of any Detective Conan character, as following the "Contact with the Black Organization" case, Tequila wouldn't be mentioned or appear again for 20 years until 2023 in movie 26, "[[Movie 26|The Black Iron Submarine]]."
* The [[Magic Kaito Organization]] member [[Snake]] bears some resemblance to Tequila.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Shugo Matsui'''. Matsui had made the footprints in advance, putting the paint there and making it seem Adachi did. He had used only Gomera's feet, since there was no tail mark on the floor. He then took off the suit at the stairs, ran into a storage room downstairs and threw the costume out the window on fire. Adachi and Tomomi lied to cover up for him. The wound on his leg was faked at first, using studio blood. After the murder incident, he stabbed his own leg with a separate knife and hid it in the props box. To hide the sign of sweat, he changed shirts, which also had a spill of juice from Ayumi who spilled it on his shirt earlier.

* '''Motive'''
The news that Matsui was tired of playing Gomera and wanted to move onto other roles was a rumor spread by Kamei. Matsui was unaware of the rumor until he found out himself. Not wanting the final Gomera movie to be made, he killed Kamei.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Daisuke Mikami - Josh Listenburg
:* Ryota Adachi - Ramone Amberwitz
:* Shugo Matsui - Lester Higgins
:* Tonomi Sakaguchi - Tamera Heatherly
:* Osamu Kamei - Orville Kessle
* In the Funimation Dub, Conan/Jimmy narrates that the Gomera movie became a hit. And though Lester was sent to prison, he continues writing new Gomera movies under "A. Gomer".

== Remastered version ==
A remastered version of the episode aired on January 9, 2010.

== Trivia ==
* "Gomera" is a reference to Toho's Gozilla Kaiju franchise. The fairy that calms Gomera's rage is a reference to the twin fairies from Toho's Mothra series, in which Mothra becomes enraged whenever the fairies are threatened and only the fairies can calm Mothra.
* Another kaiju that possibly used as model is Gamera which has similar name and long lower canine. The name "Gomera" comes from replacing the "Ga" katakana in "Gamera" (ガ) with the "Go" katakana from Godzilla's Japanese name "Gojira" (ゴ) and both monster's names end in "ra" (ラ), thus making "Gomera" a portmanteau.
* This is the first case Conan solves using Agasa.
** The reason given (at least in the English Dub) for why Conan didn't knock anyone out to solve the case is due to him not having his Wristwatch Stun-Gun with him, therefore prompting him to ask Agasa to lipsync while using the voice-changing bow tie to solve the case, since Agasa of course knows Conan's real identity, and since this was before the widespread use of cellphones or Agasa's invention of the Earring Cell Phone, having Conan call in as Shinichi would have been more complicated and likely raised suspicions.
** This is also the only case Agasa solves via Conan in the Funimation dub or really any of the official English Dubs, though a fan dub of "[[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|The University Professor Murder Case]]" exists, which is the next case that Agasa solves via Conan. Netflix would dub it in 2025 as well.
* The trick utilised in this case pays tribute to ''[[wikipedia:Death on the Nile|Death on the Nile]]'', a novel written by [[Agatha Christie]].

== Case 1: Missing Older Brother Case ==
=== Situation ===
A new girl named [[Ai Haibara]] transfers into [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s [[Teitan Elementary School|class]]. Conan is apathetic, but the rest of the [[Detective Boys]] are excited. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and [[Genta]] notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them she lives at Beika 2-chōme, 22-banchi, which Conan deduces is right near [[Setting#Kudo Residence|his house]], but can't think of any candidate houses or apartments where a Haibara family has lived.

After school, the detective boys check Genta's locker where their detective group cases are received and Genta finds a request in his shoe. [[Ayumi]] tells Haibara to come along with them. The request is from a first grade boy named Toshiya asking the Detective Boys to find his high school aged brother who has been missing for a week. The Detective Boys, along with Toshiya and Haibara, investigate Toshiya's older brother's room. Conan notices the older brother's wallet is still in his drawer which rules out running away from home, and he also discounts kidnapping for extortion because kidnappers would have gone after Toshiya instead. The Detective Boys find the older brother's artwork which are copies of famous paintings. The fidelity is good, but not good enough to be used as forgeries. Conan takes interest in a portrait of Natsume Sōseki which had been in a city exhibition. Toshiya reveals that, before his brother disappeared, a woman in a hat wearing black had an interest in that portrait and approached Toshiya's older brother. Conan panics, thinking that this could be the work of [[Black Organization]]. Haibara observes Conan's sudden attitude change.

{{InfoBox Crime

| description = Toshiya's older brother disappeared one week ago after telling his family he was going to a friend's house.
}}

The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother without luck. The detective boys stop at a convenience story for drinks and Conan notices that a man wearing a black jacket and hat used a ¥1000 bill to pay for ¥330 cigarettes. Conan thinks that the transaction probably wasn't for change because the man could have also bought the same cigarettes at a vending machine outside faster. Conan grabs the bill from the startled cashier and notices it has no watermark; it's a counterfeit ¥1000.

Conan and the detective boys start following the man in black. The portrait on ¥1000 bills is Natsume Sōseki, so Conan explains that the man's counterfeit may have to do with Toshiya's brother's disappearance. In a fit of oblivious deductive monologue, Conan starts talking about the men in black shrinking his body in front of the detective boys. Conan cuts himself off quickly and says it was a joke, but Haibara took notice anyway. Conan decides to plant a tracker on the man in black. Conan tells the man he dropped a ¥1000 bill which he snatches from Conan without realizing a button transmitter was stuck to the bill. To keep them from danger, Conan ditches the detective boys by telling them he has something to do and they should look for Toshiya's brother tomorrow. Ai watches as Conan runs away...

Now alone, Conan tracks the bill to a vender where the man in black bought a ¥110 can of iced coffee. A janitor testifies that the man used a ¥500 coin to buy a train ticket which left him with at least 3 coins of change. Looking at the ticket prices, Conan deduces the man went to Daitoma station. Once there, Conan begins to question a local broker who may have rented a space big enough to print fake money. The broker then asks Conan if he is with the kids outside; the detective boys, Toshiya, and Haibara have been following Conan. Haibara was the one who predicted Conan might try to continue investigating alone and suggested they follow. Toshiya then describes a quick phone call his missing brother made; he said something about being with people like Sōseki. The broker tells the kids he rented a location by the local police post to a newspaper printing company two years ago and they recently got a new printer. The broker says the lady in charge favors wide brimmed hats. With this, Conan realizes the meaning of the hint that Toshiya's older brother said over the phone.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Natsume Sōseki took his name from the proverb ''Sōseki Chinryu'' - "rinsing one's mouth with a stone and laying one's head on a pillow of flowing water." The proverb describes someone who would act the opposite of the people's expectations; a forgery outfit operating next door to a police post matches.

Conan and the rest of the children go to the local police station where the officers shrugs them off for watching too much TV. Conan then uses [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s voice to call [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] and inform him of the situation. While Conan is making the call, the detective boys decide to infiltrate on their own accord. True to Conan's deduction, Haibara notices different paints that the counterfeiters tested.

Upstairs, the counterfeiters are forcing Toshiya's brother to draw the ¥10,000 bills (Yukichi Fukuzawa). One of the men keeping watch notices the snooping children over the closed circuit television. The older brother exclaims when he sees Toshiya on screen, and the head counterfeiter, the lady with the black hat, decide to come up with a plan. Conan realizes that the children are gone, asks the police where they went, and discovers they went into the hideout without him. Horrified, he chases after them. Elsewhere, [[Gin]] takes a call over the phone from [[Vodka]] about someone who escaped from the Black Organization. Gin orders Vodka to find that person dead or alive.

As Conan enters the building, he is caught at gunpoint by a bulky man. Upstairs, the head of the counterfeiters confronts the children, and plans to kill the children one by one to motivate Toshiya's older brother to work faster.

}}

Just as she is about to shoot Ayumi, Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|shoes]] to knock the gun out of the lady's hand. He reveals that the counterfeiter's original artist had become injured, so they needed a replacement to finish the bills. They saw the older brother's painting of Sōseki and decided to kidnap him in order to finish the bills. Conan takes out the lady's two goons with pots of paint. Before the lady can reach for the gun, Haibara grabs it, takes a Weaver stance, and fires it just over the lady's shoulder, breaking the window behind her.

The sound rouses the police next door and they arrive and are shocked to find that the children were telling the truth after all. They call for back up and apprehend the counterfeiters. As they are hauled off, Conan asks the lead counterfeiter if she is part of a large organization with alcoholic code names. The lady doesn't seem to know what Conan is talking about. Megure reveals that she is the leader of a counterfeit group called the "The silver fox", and he then berates Haibara for firing a gun. Which causes Haibara to break down in tears, Megure seeing this immediately apologizes for being too hard on her.

Conan walks Haibara to her home, while she is still sobbing. On the way, Haibara's demeanor suddenly changes and she reveals to Conan that she's really [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], a former member of the Black Organization and creator of [[APTX 4869]], the drug that shrunk both her and Shinichi. Haibara points out that her home address is actually [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s. Conan starts to call Agasa in a panic and he doesn't pick up. Haibara replies that's because he is not in this world anymore, implying that he’s 'dead'. Conan rushes over to Agasa's and finds the professor is completely well and jovial and that his line was busy because he was surfing the internet.

Conan demands an explanation as to why a member of the Black Organization is staying with Agasa. Agasa explains that she also took APTX 4869 which caused her to shrink into a child. Haibara adds that the professor adopted her after he found her passed out in front of Shinichi's house. She had been part of the Black Organization team that investigated Shinichi's house twice to ensure his death. She noticed Shinichi's childhood clothes went missing between investigations, and thus suspected he de-aged like one of her test mice did. She declared Shinichi deceased anyway because she didn't want the Organization to kill him before she could see him.

Haibara then explains that she betrayed the Organization because she didn't like that they were using her drug on people and because the Organization killed her sister and refused to explain the reason why. Sherry boycotted the drug's development, and was then locked up and scheduled to be executed because of her insubordination. She took an APTX drug that she had secretly pocketed hoping to commit suicide, instead she shrank which allowed her to free herself from the handcuffs, and then escape via laundry chute.

Haibara explains that she went to find Shinichi hoping he would lend her his aid, seeing as he was the only person who would understand her unique situation. However, Conan berates her angered at the fact that she didn’t seem to understand how much pain and suffering her drug had caused to so many innocent people. Agasa calms him down and Conan asks her if she can create an antidote for the drug, and she notes that she would need to go back to her lab. Conan tells her to tell him the location of the lab and he will get the info she needs himself.

However, Haibara states that there is no point she shows them a newspaper article of a Beika building that apparently burst into flames. That building was her lab, the Organization fearful of what she might leak, burned down the building her lab used to be in and began looking for her. Haibara asks if Conan will abandon or help her and he says that he will help her.</spoiler>

== Case 2: Murdered Professor Case ==
=== Situation ===
Haibara explains her story about the drug, her sister's death and her escape. She reveals that she accidentally sent a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization to her older sister... which is now in the possession of her sister's professor, Masami Hirota. They track down Hirota through the university and Agasa posed as a friend of Haibara's sister Akemi Miyano, and Hirota agrees to give them the disk, but first after he has some other visitors.

Agasa takes Conan and Haibara to Hirota's home so they can get the disk, only to realize that Hirota has been murdered. Discovering the voice messages, they discovered the suspects are Hirota's three students who visited that day and the Black Organization. However, they quickly rule out the Black Organization involvement because the crime was too messy to be Black Organization's style.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan reveals the culprit to be '''Akira Shirakura'''; Shirakura after bludgeoning Hirota to death tied the answering machine cassette tape around the key to the room which rewound when a call was made and subsequently bringing the key into the room. The cassette tape was also wrapped around some pawn chess pieces that were placed upside with a notebook on top. Once that was done, he simply called the phone and as the cassette tape was being rewound it knocked the chess pieces causing the notebook to fall on top of the key at the same time. As evidence, Conan reveals that Shirakura's fingerprints should be found on the tape.

Shirakura says that he killed Hirota because he possessed some very embarrassing and compromising photos of himself, which could ruin his career as a model. Additionally, Hirota had mocked him on the phone when he begged him to give him the photos which made his temper flare. Upon hearing Shirakura's motives, Agasa counters saying that he misunderstood Hirota's words - he actually wanted Shirakura to let go of his pride, only that he did so in the wrong way. Shirakura then gives himself up to the police.

Once Shirakura is taken away, Haibara breaks down in tears. She explains the rest of her story, revealing that her sister was Akemi Miyano alias the same ex-Black Organization member who died in Conan's arms. Then she asks Conan why, if he's so good with his deductions, why he couldn’t he have saved her sister, and ends up crying further while holding on a shocked Conan's shirt.

Later that day, Haibara attempts to read the files off the disk only to have a virus delete all the data.

Shiho was set to be killed for insubordination, so Shiho took the drug she made to commit suicide. It instead de-aged her without the Black Organization's knowing, and she managed to escape. Because of this, Shiho realized that [[Shinichi Kudo]] likely shrank so she went to his house where she ran into [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]].
* Shiho moves in with Agasa, takes the alias Ai Haibara, and transfers to [[Setting#Teitan Elementary School|Teitan Elementary]].
* Conan discovers that the woman from the [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|billion yen bank robbery]], [[Akemi Miyano]], is Shiho's sister. Viewers also learn that the scientist sister of Akemi's that [[Gin]] said was too valuable to leave the Organization was Shiho.<ref>Manga Volume 2, File 7, Page 12: "A Devil-like Woman"</ref>
* Conan discovers the name of the drug that shrunk him is [[APTX 4869]], and its creator is Sherry.
* Conan discovers the Black Organization searched [[Setting#Kudo Residence|Shinichi's house]] twice to make sure he was dead.
* The disk of APTX 4869 data which also contained real names and funding sources or involved agents is erased by the [[Night Baron]] virus that had been planted on the disk.
* The Black Organization calls off plans to kill Masami Hirota because he was murdered by someone else first.
* Various members of the Black Organization, including Gin, start hunting for Sherry.</spoiler>

* Interestingly, a narration voice done by [[Akio Otsuka]] is used during the part where Conan runs upstairs to the Silver Fox's hideout after the commercial break. This is the only episode that he's featured in the anime.
{{clear}}
* The University Professor Murder Case is the second case Conan solves via Agasa, and also marks the Agasa's first time meeting Sango Yokomizo, who last appeared in the Triplet Murder Case.
* There is a fan dub of these episodes, making this the only other English dubbed case which Agasa solves via Conan.
* The culprit in the University Professor Murder Case could be considered a drag queen or crossdresser, however at the time of that episode's airing, the LGBT community was not viewed with anywhere near the same respect as they are nowadays, and even in western countries like Canada or the United States, something like that could raise eyebrows by possible employers, which is what lead the culprit to kill their professor, due to the potential for extortion.

== Case 1: Missing Older Brother Case ==
=== Situation ===
A new girl named [[Ai Haibara]] transfers into [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s [[Teitan Elementary School|class]]. Conan is apathetic, but the rest of the [[Detective Boys]] are excited. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and [[Genta]] notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them she lives at Beika 2-chōme, 22-banchi, which Conan deduces is right near [[Setting#Kudo Residence|his house]], but can't think of any candidate houses or apartments where a Haibara family has lived.

After school, the detective boys check Genta's locker where their detective group cases are received and Genta finds a request in his shoe. [[Ayumi]] tells Haibara to come along with them. The request is from a first grade boy named Toshiya asking the Detective Boys to find his high school aged brother who has been missing for a week. The Detective Boys, along with Toshiya and Haibara, investigate Toshiya's older brother's room. Conan notices the older brother's wallet is still in his drawer which rules out running away from home, and he also discounts kidnapping for extortion because kidnappers would have gone after Toshiya instead. The Detective Boys find the older brother's artwork which are copies of famous paintings. The fidelity is good, but not good enough to be used as forgeries. Conan takes interest in a portrait of Natsume Sōseki which had been in a city exhibition. Toshiya reveals that, before his brother disappeared, a woman in a hat wearing black had an interest in that portrait and approached Toshiya's older brother. Conan panics, thinking that this could be the work of [[Black Organization]]. Haibara observes Conan's sudden attitude change.

}}

The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother without luck. The detective boys stop at a convenience story for drinks and Conan notices that a man wearing a black jacket and hat used a ¥1000 bill to pay for ¥330 cigarettes. Conan thinks that the transaction probably wasn't for change because the man could have also bought the same cigarettes at a vending machine outside faster. Conan grabs the bill from the startled cashier and notices it has no watermark; it's a counterfeit ¥1000.

Conan and the detective boys start following the man in black. The portrait on ¥1000 bills is Natsume Sōseki, so Conan explains that the man's counterfeit may have to do with Toshiya's brother's disappearance. In a fit of oblivious deductive monologue, Conan starts talking about the men in black shrinking his body in front of the detective boys. Conan cuts himself off quickly and says it was a joke, but Haibara took notice anyway. Conan decides to plant a tracker on the man in black. Conan tells the man he dropped a ¥1000 bill which he snatches from Conan without realizing a button transmitter was stuck to the bill. To keep them from danger, Conan ditches the detective boys by telling them he has something to do and they should look for Toshiya's brother tomorrow. Ai watches as Conan runs away...

Now alone, Conan tracks the bill to a vender where the man in black bought a ¥110 can of iced coffee. A janitor testifies that the man used a ¥500 coin to buy a train ticket which left him with at least 3 coins of change. Looking at the ticket prices, Conan deduces the man went to Daitoma station. Once there, Conan begins to question a local broker who may have rented a space big enough to print fake money. The broker then asks Conan if he is with the kids outside; the detective boys, Toshiya, and Haibara have been following Conan. Haibara was the one who predicted Conan might try to continue investigating alone and suggested they follow. Toshiya then describes a quick phone call his missing brother made; he said something about being with people like Sōseki. The broker tells the kids he rented a location by the local police post to a newspaper printing company two years ago and they recently got a new printer. The broker says the lady in charge favors wide brimmed hats. With this, Conan realizes the meaning of the hint that Toshiya's older brother said over the phone.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Natsume Sōseki took his name from the proverb ''Sōseki Chinryu'' - "rinsing one's mouth with a stone and laying one's head on a pillow of flowing water." The proverb describes someone who would act the opposite of the people's expectations; a forgery outfit operating next door to a police post matches.

Conan and the rest of the children go to the local police station where the officers shrugs them off for watching too much TV. Conan then uses [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s voice to call [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] and inform him of the situation. While Conan is making the call, the detective boys decide to infiltrate on their own accord. True to Conan's deduction, Haibara notices different paints that the counterfeiters tested.

Upstairs, the counterfeiters are forcing Toshiya's brother to draw the ¥10,000 bills (Yukichi Fukuzawa). One of the men keeping watch notices the snooping children over the closed circuit television. The older brother exclaims when he sees Toshiya on screen, and the head counterfeiter, the lady with the black hat, decide to come up with a plan. Conan realizes that the children are gone, asks the police where they went, and discovers they went into the hideout without him. Horrified, he chases after them. Elsewhere, [[Gin]] takes a call over the phone from [[Vodka]] about someone who escaped from the Black Organization. Gin orders Vodka to find that person dead or alive.

As Conan enters the building, he is caught at gunpoint by a bulky man. Upstairs, the head of the counterfeiters confronts the children, and plans to kill the children one by one to motivate Toshiya's older brother to work faster.

Just as she is about to shoot Ayumi, Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|shoes]] to knock the gun out of the lady's hand. He reveals that the counterfeiter's original artist had become injured, so they needed a replacement to finish the bills. They saw the older brother's painting of Sōseki and decided to kidnap him in order to finish the bills. Conan takes out the lady's two goons with pots of paint. Before the lady can reach for the gun, Haibara grabs it, takes a Weaver stance, and fires it just over the lady's shoulder, breaking the window behind her.

The sound rouses the police next door and they arrive and are shocked to find that the children were telling the truth after all. They call for back up and apprehend the counterfeiters. As they are hauled off, Conan asks the lead counterfeiter if she is part of a large organization with alcoholic code names. The lady doesn't seem to know what Conan is talking about. Megure reveals that she is the leader of a counterfeit group called the "The silver fox", and he then berates Haibara for firing a gun. Which causes Haibara to break down in tears, Megure seeing this immediately apologizes for being too hard on her.

Conan walks Haibara to her home, while she is still sobbing. On the way, Haibara's demeanor suddenly changes and she reveals to Conan that she's really [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], a former member of the Black Organization and creator of [[APTX 4869]], the drug that shrunk both her and Shinichi. Haibara points out that her home address is actually [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s. Conan starts to call Agasa in a panic and he doesn't pick up. Haibara replies that's because he is not in this world anymore, implying that he’s 'dead'. Conan rushes over to Agasa's and finds the professor is completely well and jovial and that his line was busy because he was surfing the internet.

Conan demands an explanation as to why a member of the Black Organization is staying with Agasa. Agasa explains that she also took APTX 4869 which caused her to shrink into a child. Haibara adds that the professor adopted her after he found her passed out in front of Shinichi's house. She had been part of the Black Organization team that investigated Shinichi's house twice to ensure his death. She noticed Shinichi's childhood clothes went missing between investigations, and thus suspected he de-aged like one of her test mice did. She declared Shinichi deceased anyway because she didn't want the Organization to kill him before she could see him.

Haibara then explains that she betrayed the Organization because she didn't like that they were using her drug on people and because the Organization killed her sister and refused to explain the reason why. Sherry boycotted the drug's development, and was then locked up and scheduled to be executed because of her insubordination. She took an APTX drug that she had secretly pocketed hoping to commit suicide, instead she shrank which allowed her to free herself from the handcuffs, and then escape via laundry chute.

Haibara explains that she went to find Shinichi hoping he would lend her his aid, seeing as he was the only person who would understand her unique situation. However, Conan berates her angered at the fact that she didn’t seem to understand how much pain and suffering her drug had caused to so many innocent people. Agasa calms him down and Conan asks her if she can create an antidote for the drug, and she notes that she would need to go back to her lab. Conan tells her to tell him the location of the lab and he will get the info she needs himself.

However, Haibara states that there is no point she shows them a newspaper article of a Beika building that apparently burst into flames. That building was her lab, the Organization fearful of what she might leak, burned down the building her lab used to be in and began looking for her. Haibara asks if Conan will abandon or help her and he says that he will help her.</spoiler>

== Case 2: Murdered Professor Case ==
=== Situation ===
Haibara explains her story about the drug, her sister's death and her escape. She reveals that she accidentally sent a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization to her older sister... which is now in the possession of her sister's professor, Masami Hirota. They track down Hirota through the university and Agasa posed as a friend of Haibara's sister Akemi Miyano, and Hirota agrees to give them the disk, but first after he has some other visitors.

Agasa takes Conan and Haibara to Hirota's home so they can get the disk, only to realize that Hirota has been murdered. Discovering the voice messages, they discovered the suspects are Hirota's three students who visited that day and the Black Organization. However, they quickly rule out the Black Organization involvement because the crime was too messy to be Black Organization's style.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan reveals the culprit to be '''Akira Shirakura'''; Shirakura after bludgeoning Hirota to death tied the answering machine cassette tape around the key to the room which rewound when a call was made and subsequently bringing the key into the room. The cassette tape was also wrapped around some pawn chess pieces that were placed upside with a notebook on top. Once that was done, he simply called the phone and as the cassette tape was being rewound it knocked the chess pieces causing the notebook to fall on top of the key at the same time. As evidence, Conan reveals that Shirakura's fingerprints should be found on the tape.

Shirakura says that he killed Hirota because he possessed some very embarrassing and compromising photos of himself, which could ruin his career as a model. Additionally, Hirota had mocked him on the phone when he begged him to give him the photos which made his temper flare. Upon hearing Shirakura's motives, Agasa counters saying that he misunderstood Hirota's words - he actually wanted Shirakura to let go of his pride, only that he did so in the wrong way. Shirakura then gives himself up to the police.

Once Shirakura is taken away, Haibara breaks down in tears. She explains the rest of her story, revealing that her sister was Akemi Miyano alias the same ex-Black Organization member who died in Conan's arms. Then she asks Conan why, if he's so good with his deductions, why he couldn’t he have saved her sister, and ends up crying further while holding on a shocked Conan's shirt.

Later that day, Haibara attempts to read the files off the disk only to have a virus delete all the data.

== Episode resolution ==
<spoiler>'''Summary'''
* [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], real name Shiho Miyano, betrayed the [[Black Organization]] after they refused to justify the circumstances of her sister's death. Shiho was set to be killed for insubordination, so Shiho took the drug she made to commit suicide. It instead de-aged her without the Black Organization's knowing, and she managed to escape. Because of this, Shiho realized that [[Shinichi Kudo]] likely shrank so she went to his house where she ran into [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]].
* Shiho moves in with Agasa, takes the alias Ai Haibara, and transfers to [[Setting#Teitan Elementary School|Teitan Elementary]].
* Conan discovers that the woman from the [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|billion yen bank robbery]], [[Akemi Miyano]], is Shiho's sister. Viewers also learn that the scientist sister of Akemi's that [[Gin]] said was too valuable to leave the Organization was Shiho.<ref>Manga Volume 2, File 7, Page 12: "A Devil-like Woman"</ref>
* Conan discovers the name of the drug that shrunk him is [[APTX 4869]], and its creator is Sherry.
* Conan discovers the Black Organization searched [[Setting#Kudo Residence|Shinichi's house]] twice to make sure he was dead.
* The disk of APTX 4869 data which also contained real names and funding sources or involved agents is erased by the [[Night Baron]] virus that had been planted on the disk.
* The Black Organization calls off plans to kill Masami Hirota because he was murdered by someone else first.
* Various members of the Black Organization, including Gin, start hunting for Sherry.</spoiler>

* The Night Baron virus is shown for the first time, although it was mentioned during the Night Baron Murder Case.
* The pistol in case 1 is Kel-Tec P-11 (Lady in black) and Colt M1911A1 (Inuyama).
* Interestingly, a narration voice done by [[Akio Otsuka]] is used during the part where Conan runs upstairs to the Silver Fox's hideout after the commercial break. This is the only episode that he's featured in the anime.
{{clear}}
* The University Professor Murder Case is the second case Conan solves via Agasa, and also marks the Agasa's first time meeting Sango Yokomizo, who last appeared in the Triplet Murder Case.
* There is a fan dub of these episodes, making this the only other case which Agasa solves via Conan.
* The culprit in the University Professor Murder Case could be considered a drag queen or crossdresser, however at the time of that episode's airing, the LGBT community was not viewed with anywhere near the same respect as they are nowadays, and even in western countries like Canada or the United States, something like that could raise eyebrows by possible employers, which is what lead the culprit to kill their professor, due to the potential for extortion.

=== Situation ===
Conan, Haibara and the Detective Boys have just visited Agasa due to his injury from [[Chihaya Hagiwara, Goddess of the Wind|a previous case]] and are now returning. They help each other to cheer Haibara up after [[The Black Organization's Scheme|the previous]] [[Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|events]], and luckily Yukiko also came back to cook for her at that time so everything was fine. However, they encounter a robber being chased by Inspector Takagi, and he runs toward the boys, terrifying Haibara because she associated that image with Gin chasing her. Fortunately, Sato comes to the rescue in time, much to the admiration of the Detective Boys, and then when Takagi is about to write down the time the robber was captured in Date's notebook, he sees a string of characters and a note: Meet Takagi on Sunday. This made him remember the memory of his senior, the day before he passed away due to a traffic accident, Sato and the boys also begin to pay attention to the note above, and from here the decoding begins at Poirot's, where Conan quickly notices the code.
==== Part 1 ====
Azusa is a little surprised to see Takagi and Sato with the kids, but is later drawn into the group to solve the code, first starting with the reason why the code leads to Poirot's:
<spoiler>
*Call the SMS center with a phone with a tone and a recorded message will play.
*Follow the instructions and enter the recipient's phone number
*Start the message with '''*2*2''', compose the message with two numbers for each character according to this table, and finally end it with '''#s'''

Then Conan asks Azusa to do the same and send the numbers in Date's notes as a text message to the phone of the shop. The meaning was: '''"Sunday afternoon, 12pm, Beika City 5-6"; " {{font color|#ff0000|Poirot}}'s seat next to the door, wearing a red tie and waiting."''' </spoiler>

Explaining why Date wanted to appeal to Takagi's male instincts, Amuro assumes that his deceased friend wanted Takagi to solve a case to become a real detective, and thinks that a shady plot might be going on here. While discussing the location, Conan notices a piece of tape under the table he and the others are sitting at, so he asks Azusa about it, who only remembers that there was a game console with a game running in sleep mode with tape right on the floor in that chair and she is now currently holding it. It seems that the person who was supposed to appear in the shop didn't show up, causing it to fall down after a while.

She is then asked if she had seen anyone suspicious, to which she mentions a boy who would make a strange gesture in front of the shop while in his car every Sunday afternoon. During those five minutes, the boy would always hold up five fingers, then fold his thumb, then fold his other four fingers, and then rewind the action. Conan and Haibara immediately recognize this as a distress signal after confirming that he was a foreigner, as the hand gesture was a distress signal originating from Canada.

Also, Azusa mentions that it had just happened last week, while Takagi tries to remember if he was leaving behind any cases related to some clues; and finally, he remembers about a kidnapping case that happened a year ago involving the child of an automobile manufacturer named VP Pieere Cassel. As for why Date and Takagi were involved in that case despite Date having moved to MPD ever since Matsuda's death, which was 2 years ago at that time, it was simply because their houses were near Cassel's house so they were asked.

The suspect in that case was initially thought to be a member of the Deisan gang, who was in a dispute with the aforementioned car manufacturer over land use rights, but Date became interested in the former leader of that gang named Natsufusa Kidou, who was in huge debt due to gambling at the time. After the ransom call, the two of them began to follow him, but Kidou ended up being severely beaten by a drunk man and was taken to the hospital. Kidou also seems to have accidentally left a note, which Date copied while waiting for the forensics to arrive, '''and since the kidnappers didn't have any information afterwards''', we can confirm that Kidou '''was''' one of the two perpetrators of the above kidnapping. That also means that Kidou's henchman had blindly followed his orders because the henchman had no idea about his death. It just so happens that today is Sunday, but they only have 5 minutes left until the transaction time so calling the police won't be enough time. And it seems like everyone is going to carry out the plan to rescue the boy.

==== Part 2 ====
The specific plan was: Amuro would use Conan's voice changer to disguise himself as the other accomplice, and since the boy was a foreigner like Amuro, he would think that Amuro also worked for VP Cassel and send messages to the electronic game console. Then, after reading the instructions, Amuro would start taking the paper bag from the gap between the sofa and the floor and pretend to put money in it to fool him because his vision was blocked by the grass in front of the shop so he wouldn't notice. Then Amuro would pay and leave with the paper bag, and once Inspector Takagi also left with him, the kidnapper would go out and fall for the trick as planned. However, he has prepared a can of pepper spray to buy more time to run away, leaving the boy in the car.

Further information gathered reveal that the kidnapping location is the fourth floor of the Shiromino Apartment on Third Street, Lot 2, and the person closest to the location is Takagi, so he is assigned to be there. However, as soon as he reaches the fourth floor, the kidnapper manages to drag the boy down the elevator, forcing Takagi to go back down. Meanwhile, the boy resists because he couldn't see Alain, so the robber lies that the boy had been in a traffic accident and they are going to the hospital now, but Takagi gets down just in time and confirms Alain's condition. Will Takagi be able to save the boy?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The kidnapper threatens him not to come near and tells himself that his boss, referring to Natsufusa Kidou, will have a new plan, but Takagi reminds him that he beat Kidou to death. The kidnapper initially doesn't believe it, but Takagi continues that he thinks he saw the news and that he thinks he's nothing without Kidou, even saying that if he doesn't hand over the child, he'll end up like his boss. This really makes him mad and he beats Takagi with all his might, all to buy time for Sato and Amuro to come to the rescue.

==== Aftermath ====
Amuro is seen looking at Sato's car and is then asked by her, apparently because they are driving the same car type, and then he is asked if they had met before. He answers no, essentially protecting his identity while thinking about the time they met at the police academy. Alain and Yuji are then reunited when Megure drives the sooner and his older brother in the police car while waiting for their parents, the older brother asks Takagi about Date and asks him to give him a box of toothpicks as gift for saving his brother. Even though it is a heartwarming for us, this might leave scar as we knew what happened to Wataru Date. </spoiler>

== Case 1: Missing Older Brother Case ==
=== Situation ===
A new girl named [[Ai Haibara]] transfers into [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s [[Teitan Elementary School|class]]. Conan is apathetic, but the rest of the [[Detective Boys]] are excited. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and [[Genta]] notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them she lives at Beika 2-chōme, 22-banchi, which Conan deduces is right near [[Setting#Kudo Residence|his house]], but can't think of any candidate houses or apartments where a Haibara family has lived.

After school, the detective boys check Genta's locker where their detective group cases are received and Genta finds a request in his shoe. [[Ayumi]] tells Haibara to come along with them. The request is from a first grade boy named Toshiya asking the Detective Boys to find his high school aged brother who has been missing for a week. The Detective Boys, along with Toshiya and Haibara, investigate Toshiya's older brother's room. Conan notices the older brother's wallet is still in his drawer which rules out running away from home, and he also discounts kidnapping for extortion because kidnappers would have gone after Toshiya instead. The Detective Boys find the older brother's artwork which are copies of famous paintings. The fidelity is good, but not good enough to be used as forgeries. Conan takes interest in a portrait of Natsume Sōseki which had been in a city exhibition. Toshiya reveals that, before his brother disappeared, a woman in a hat wearing black had an interest in that portrait and approached Toshiya's older brother. Conan panics, thinking that this could be the work of [[Black Organization]]. Haibara observes Conan's sudden attitude change.

}}

The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother without luck. The detective boys stop at a convenience story for drinks and Conan notices that a man wearing a black jacket and hat used a ¥1000 bill to pay for ¥330 cigarettes. Conan thinks that the transaction probably wasn't for change because the man could have also bought the same cigarettes at a vending machine outside faster. Conan grabs the bill from the startled cashier and notices it has no watermark; it's a counterfeit ¥1000.

Conan and the detective boys start following the man in black. The portrait on ¥1000 bills is Natsume Sōseki, so Conan explains that the man's counterfeit may have to do with Toshiya's brother's disappearance. In a fit of oblivious deductive monologue, Conan starts talking about the men in black shrinking his body in front of the detective boys. Conan cuts himself off quickly and says it was a joke, but Haibara took notice anyway. Conan decides to plant a tracker on the man in black. Conan tells the man he dropped a ¥1000 bill which he snatches from Conan without realizing a button transmitter was stuck to the bill. To keep them from danger, Conan ditches the detective boys by telling them he has something to do and they should look for Toshiya's brother tomorrow. Ai watches as Conan runs away...

Now alone, Conan tracks the bill to a vender where the man in black bought a ¥110 can of iced coffee. A janitor testifies that the man used a ¥500 coin to buy a train ticket which left him with at least 3 coins of change. Looking at the ticket prices, Conan deduces the man went to Daitoma station. Once there, Conan begins to question a local broker who may have rented a space big enough to print fake money. The broker then asks Conan if he is with the kids outside; the detective boys, Toshiya, and Haibara have been following Conan. Haibara was the one who predicted Conan might try to continue investigating alone and suggested they follow. Toshiya then describes a quick phone call his missing brother made; he said something about being with people like Sōseki. The broker tells the kids he rented a location by the local police post to a newspaper printing company two years ago and they recently got a new printer. The broker says the lady in charge favors wide brimmed hats. With this, Conan realizes the meaning of the hint that Toshiya's older brother said over the phone.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Natsume Sōseki took his name from the proverb ''Sōseki Chinryu'' - "rinsing one's mouth with a stone and laying one's head on a pillow of flowing water." The proverb describes someone who would act the opposite of the people's expectations; a forgery outfit operating next door to a police post matches.

Conan and the rest of the children go to the local police station where the officers shrugs them off for watching too much TV. Conan then uses [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s voice to call [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] and inform him of the situation. While Conan is making the call, the detective boys decide to infiltrate on their own accord. True to Conan's deduction, Haibara notices different paints that the counterfeiters tested.

Upstairs, the counterfeiters are forcing Toshiya's brother to draw the ¥10,000 bills (Yukichi Fukuzawa). One of the men keeping watch notices the snooping children over the closed circuit television. The older brother exclaims when he sees Toshiya on screen, and the head counterfeiter, the lady with the black hat, decide to come up with a plan. Conan realizes that the children are gone, asks the police where they went, and discovers they went into the hideout without him. Horrified, he chases after them. Elsewhere, [[Gin]] takes a call over the phone from [[Vodka]] about someone who escaped from the Black Organization. Gin orders Vodka to find that person dead or alive.

As Conan enters the building, he is caught at gunpoint by a bulky man. Upstairs, the head of the counterfeiters confronts the children, and plans to kill the children one by one to motivate Toshiya's older brother to work faster.

}}

Just as she is about to shoot Ayumi, Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|shoes]] to knock the gun out of the lady's hand. He reveals that the counterfeiter's original artist had become injured, so they needed a replacement to finish the bills. They saw the older brother's painting of Sōseki and decided to kidnap him in order to finish the bills. Conan takes out the lady's two goons with pots of paint. Before the lady can reach for the gun, Haibara grabs it, takes a Weaver stance, and fires it just over the lady's shoulder, breaking the window behind her.

The sound rouses the police next door and they arrive and are shocked to find that the children were telling the truth after all. They call for back up and apprehend the counterfeiters. As they are hauled off, Conan asks the lead counterfeiter if she is part of a large organization with alcoholic code names. The lady doesn't seem to know what Conan is talking about. Megure reveals that she is the leader of a counterfeit group called the "The silver fox", and he then berates Haibara for firing a gun. Which causes Haibara to break down in tears, Megure seeing this immediately apologizes for being too hard on her.

Conan walks Haibara to her home, while she is still sobbing. On the way, Haibara's demeanor suddenly changes and she reveals to Conan that she's really [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], a former member of the Black Organization and creator of [[APTX 4869]], the drug that shrunk both her and Shinichi. Haibara points out that her home address is actually [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s. Conan starts to call Agasa in a panic and he doesn't pick up. Haibara replies that's because he is not in this world anymore, implying that he’s 'dead'. Conan rushes over to Agasa's and finds the professor is completely well and jovial and that his line was busy because he was surfing the internet.

Conan demands an explanation as to why a member of the Black Organization is staying with Agasa. Agasa explains that she also took APTX 4869 which caused her to shrink into a child. Haibara adds that the professor adopted her after he found her passed out in front of Shinichi's house. She had been part of the Black Organization team that investigated Shinichi's house twice to ensure his death. She noticed Shinichi's childhood clothes went missing between investigations, and thus suspected he de-aged like one of her test mice did. She declared Shinichi deceased anyway because she didn't want the Organization to kill him before she could see him.

Haibara then explains that she betrayed the Organization because she didn't like that they were using her drug on people and because the Organization killed her sister and refused to explain the reason why. Sherry boycotted the drug's development, and was then locked up and scheduled to be executed because of her insubordination. She took an APTX drug that she had secretly pocketed hoping to commit suicide, instead she shrank which allowed her to free herself from the handcuffs, and then escape via laundry chute.

Haibara explains that she went to find Shinichi hoping he would lend her his aid, seeing as he was the only person who would understand her unique situation. However, Conan berates her angered at the fact that she didn’t seem to understand how much pain and suffering her drug had caused to so many innocent people. Agasa calms him down and Conan asks her if she can create an antidote for the drug, and she notes that she would need to go back to her lab. Conan tells her to tell him the location of the lab and he will get the info she needs himself.

However, Haibara states that there is no point she shows them a newspaper article of a Beika building that apparently burst into flames. That building was her lab, the Organization fearful of what she might leak, burned down the building her lab used to be in and began looking for her. Haibara asks if Conan will abandon or help her and he says that he will help her.</spoiler>

== Case 2: Murdered Professor Case ==
=== Situation ===
Haibara explains her story about the drug, her sister's death and her escape. She reveals that she accidentally sent a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization to her older sister... which is now in the possession of her sister's professor, Masami Hirota. They track down Hirota through the university and Agasa posed as a friend of Haibara's sister Akemi Miyano, and Hirota agrees to give them the disk, but first after he has some other visitors.

Agasa takes Conan and Haibara to Hirota's home so they can get the disk, only to realize that Hirota has been murdered. Discovering the voice messages, they discovered the suspects are Hirota's three students who visited that day and the Black Organization. However, they quickly rule out the Black Organization involvement because the crime was too messy to be Black Organization's style.

<spoiler>
Conan reveals the culprit to be '''Akira Shirakura'''; Shirakura after bludgeoning Hirota to death tied the answering machine cassette tape around the key to the room which rewound when a call was made and subsequently bringing the key into the room. The cassette tape was also wrapped around some pawn chess pieces that were placed upside with a notebook on top. Once that was done, he simply called the phone and as the cassette tape was being rewound it knocked the chess pieces causing the notebook to fall on top of the key at the same time. As evidence, Conan reveals that Shirakura's fingerprints should be found on the tape.

Shirakura says that he killed Hirota because he possessed some very embarrassing and compromising photos of himself, which could ruin his career as a model. Additionally, Hirota had mocked him on the phone when he begged him to give him the photos which made his temper flare. Upon hearing Shirakura's motives, Agasa counters saying that he misunderstood Hirota's words - he actually wanted Shirakura to let go of his pride, only that he did so in the wrong way. Shirakura then gives himself up to the police.

Once Shirakura is taken away, Haibara breaks down in tears. She explains the rest of her story, revealing that her sister was Akemi Miyano alias the same ex-Black Organization member who died in Conan's arms. Then she asks Conan why, if he's so good with his deductions, why he couldn’t he have saved her sister, and ends up crying further while holding on a shocked Conan's shirt.

Later that day, Haibara attempts to read the files off the disk only to have a virus delete all the data.

<spoiler>'''Summary'''
* [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], real name Shiho Miyano, betrayed the [[Black Organization]] after they refused to justify the circumstances of her sister's death. Shiho was set to be killed for insubordination, so Shiho took the drug she made to commit suicide. It instead de-aged her without the Black Organization's knowing, and she managed to escape. Because of this, Shiho realized that [[Shinichi Kudo]] likely shrank so she went to his house where she ran into [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]].
* Shiho moves in with Agasa, takes the alias Ai Haibara, and transfers to [[Setting#Teitan Elementary School|Teitan Elementary]].
* Conan discovers that the woman from the [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|billion yen bank robbery]], [[Akemi Miyano]], is Shiho's sister. Viewers also learn that the scientist sister of Akemi's that [[Gin]] said was too valuable to leave the Organization was Shiho.<ref>Manga Volume 2, File 7, Page 12: "A Devil-like Woman"</ref>
* Conan discovers the name of the drug that shrunk him is [[APTX 4869]], and its creator is Sherry.
* Conan discovers the Black Organization searched [[Setting#Kudo Residence|Shinichi's house]] twice to make sure he was dead.
* The disk of APTX 4869 data which also contained real names and funding sources or involved agents is erased by the [[Night Baron]] virus that had been planted on the disk.
* The Black Organization calls off plans to kill Masami Hirota because he was murdered by someone else first.
* Various members of the Black Organization, including Gin, start hunting for Sherry.</spoiler>

== Case 1: Missing Older Brother Case ==
=== Situation ===
A new girl named [[Ai Haibara]] transfers into [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s [[Teitan Elementary School|class]]. Conan is apathetic, but the rest of the [[Detective Boys]] are excited. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and [[Genta]] notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them she lives at Beika 2-chōme, 22-banchi, which Conan deduces is right near [[Setting#Kudo Residence|his house]], but can't think of any candidate houses or apartments where a Haibara family has lived.

After school, the detective boys check Genta's locker where their detective group cases are received and Genta finds a request in his shoe. [[Ayumi]] tells Haibara to come along with them. The request is from a first grade boy named Toshiya asking the Detective Boys to find his high school aged brother who has been missing for a week. The Detective Boys, along with Toshiya and Haibara, investigate Toshiya's older brother's room. Conan notices the older brother's wallet is still in his drawer which rules out running away from home, and he also discounts kidnapping for extortion because kidnappers would have gone after Toshiya instead. The Detective Boys find the older brother's artwork which are copies of famous paintings. The fidelity is good, but not good enough to be used as forgeries. Conan takes interest in a portrait of Natsume Sōseki which had been in a city exhibition. Toshiya reveals that, before his brother disappeared, a woman in a hat wearing black had an interest in that portrait and approached Toshiya's older brother. Conan panics, thinking that this could be the work of [[Black Organization]]. Haibara observes Conan's sudden attitude change.

}}

The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother without luck. The detective boys stop at a convenience story for drinks and Conan notices that a man wearing a black jacket and hat used a ¥1000 bill to pay for ¥330 cigarettes. Conan thinks that the transaction probably wasn't for change because the man could have also bought the same cigarettes at a vending machine outside faster. Conan grabs the bill from the startled cashier and notices it has no watermark; it's a counterfeit ¥1000.

Conan and the detective boys start following the man in black. The portrait on ¥1000 bills is Natsume Sōseki, so Conan explains that the man's counterfeit may have to do with Toshiya's brother's disappearance. In a fit of oblivious deductive monologue, Conan starts talking about the men in black shrinking his body in front of the detective boys. Conan cuts himself off quickly and says it was a joke, but Haibara took notice anyway. Conan decides to plant a tracker on the man in black. Conan tells the man he dropped a ¥1000 bill which he snatches from Conan without realizing a button transmitter was stuck to the bill. To keep them from danger, Conan ditches the detective boys by telling them he has something to do and they should look for Toshiya's brother tomorrow. Ai watches as Conan runs away...

Now alone, Conan tracks the bill to a vender where the man in black bought a ¥110 can of iced coffee. A janitor testifies that the man used a ¥500 coin to buy a train ticket which left him with at least 3 coins of change. Looking at the ticket prices, Conan deduces the man went to Daitoma station. Once there, Conan begins to question a local broker who may have rented a space big enough to print fake money. The broker then asks Conan if he is with the kids outside; the detective boys, Toshiya, and Haibara have been following Conan. Haibara was the one who predicted Conan might try to continue investigating alone and suggested they follow. Toshiya then describes a quick phone call his missing brother made; he said something about being with people like Sōseki. The broker tells the kids he rented a location by the local police post to a newspaper printing company two years ago and they recently got a new printer. The broker says the lady in charge favors wide brimmed hats. With this, Conan realizes the meaning of the hint that Toshiya's older brother said over the phone.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Natsume Sōseki took his name from the proverb ''Sōseki Chinryu'' - "rinsing one's mouth with a stone and laying one's head on a pillow of flowing water." The proverb describes someone who would act the opposite of the people's expectations; a forgery outfit operating next door to a police post matches.

Conan and the rest of the children go to the local police station where the officers shrugs them off for watching too much TV. Conan then uses [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s voice to call [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] and inform him of the situation. While Conan is making the call, the detective boys decide to infiltrate on their own accord. True to Conan's deduction, Haibara notices different paints that the counterfeiters tested.

Upstairs, the counterfeiters are forcing Toshiya's brother to draw the ¥10,000 bills (Yukichi Fukuzawa). One of the men keeping watch notices the snooping children over the closed circuit television. The older brother exclaims when he sees Toshiya on screen, and the head counterfeiter, the lady with the black hat, decide to come up with a plan. Conan realizes that the children are gone, asks the police where they went, and discovers they went into the hideout without him. Horrified, he chases after them. Elsewhere, [[Gin]] takes a call over the phone from [[Vodka]] about someone who escaped from the Black Organization. Gin orders Vodka to find that person dead or alive.

As Conan enters the building, he is caught at gunpoint by a bulky man. Upstairs, the head of the counterfeiters confronts the children, and plans to kill the children one by one to motivate Toshiya's older brother to work faster.

Just as she is about to shoot Ayumi, Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|shoes]] to knock the gun out of the lady's hand. He reveals that the counterfeiter's original artist had become injured, so they needed a replacement to finish the bills. They saw the older brother's painting of Sōseki and decided to kidnap him in order to finish the bills. Conan takes out the lady's two goons with pots of paint. Before the lady can reach for the gun, Haibara grabs it, takes a Weaver stance, and fires it just over the lady's shoulder, breaking the window behind her.

The sound rouses the police next door and they arrive and are shocked to find that the children were telling the truth after all. They call for back up and apprehend the counterfeiters. As they are hauled off, Conan asks the lead counterfeiter if she is part of a large organization with alcoholic code names. The lady doesn't seem to know what Conan is talking about. Megure reveals that she is the leader of a counterfeit group called the "The silver fox", and he then berates Haibara for firing a gun. Which causes Haibara to break down in tears, Megure seeing this immediately apologizes for being too hard on her.

Conan walks Haibara to her home, while she is still sobbing. On the way, Haibara's demeanor suddenly changes and she reveals to Conan that she's really [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], a former member of the Black Organization and creator of [[APTX 4869]], the drug that shrunk both her and Shinichi. Haibara points out that her home address is actually [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s. Conan starts to call Agasa in a panic and he doesn't pick up. Haibara replies that's because he is not in this world anymore, implying that he’s 'dead'. Conan rushes over to Agasa's and finds the professor is completely well and jovial and that his line was busy because he was surfing the internet.

Conan demands an explanation as to why a member of the Black Organization is staying with Agasa. Agasa explains that she also took APTX 4869 which caused her to shrink into a child. Haibara adds that the professor adopted her after he found her passed out in front of Shinichi's house. She had been part of the Black Organization team that investigated Shinichi's house twice to ensure his death. She noticed Shinichi's childhood clothes went missing between investigations, and thus suspected he de-aged like one of her test mice did. She declared Shinichi deceased anyway because she didn't want the Organization to kill him before she could see him.

Haibara then explains that she betrayed the Organization because she didn't like that they were using her drug on people and because the Organization killed her sister and refused to explain the reason why. Sherry boycotted the drug's development, and was then locked up and scheduled to be executed because of her insubordination. She took an APTX drug that she had secretly pocketed hoping to commit suicide, instead she shrank which allowed her to free herself from the handcuffs, and then escape via laundry chute.

Haibara explains that she went to find Shinichi hoping he would lend her his aid, seeing as he was the only person who would understand her unique situation. However, Conan berates her angered at the fact that she didn’t seem to understand how much pain and suffering her drug had caused to so many innocent people. Agasa calms him down and Conan asks her if she can create an antidote for the drug, and she notes that she would need to go back to her lab. Conan tells her to tell him the location of the lab and he will get the info she needs himself.

However, Haibara states that there is no point she shows them a newspaper article of a Beika building that apparently burst into flames. That building was her lab, the Organization fearful of what she might leak, burned down the building her lab used to be in and began looking for her. Haibara asks if Conan will abandon or help her and he says that he will help her.</spoiler>

== Case 2: Murdered Professor Case ==
=== Situation ===
Haibara explains her story about the drug, her sister's death and her escape. She reveals that she accidentally sent a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization to her older sister... which is now in the possession of her sister's professor, Masami Hirota. They track down Hirota through the university and Agasa posed as a friend of Haibara's sister Akemi Miyano, and Hirota agrees to give them the disk, but first after he has some other visitors.

Agasa takes Conan and Haibara to Hirota's home so they can get the disk, only to realize that Hirota has been murdered. Discovering the voice messages, they discovered the suspects are Hirota's three students who visited that day and the Black Organization. However, they quickly rule out the Black Organization involvement because the crime was too messy to be Black Organization's style.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan reveals the culprit to be '''Akira Shirakura'''; Shirakura after bludgeoning Hirota to death tied the answering machine cassette tape around the key to the room which rewound when a call was made and subsequently bringing the key into the room. The cassette tape was also wrapped around some pawn chess pieces that were placed upside with a notebook on top. Once that was done, he simply called the phone and as the cassette tape was being rewound it knocked the chess pieces causing the notebook to fall on top of the key at the same time. As evidence, Conan reveals that Shirakura's fingerprints should be found on the tape.

Shirakura says that he killed Hirota because he possessed some very embarrassing and compromising photos of himself, which could ruin his career as a model. Additionally, Hirota had mocked him on the phone when he begged him to give him the photos which made his temper flare. Upon hearing Shirakura's motives, Agasa counters saying that he misunderstood Hirota's words - he actually wanted Shirakura to let go of his pride, only that he did so in the wrong way. Shirakura then gives himself up to the police.

Once Shirakura is taken away, Haibara breaks down in tears. She explains the rest of her story, revealing that her sister was Akemi Miyano alias the same ex-Black Organization member who died in Conan's arms. Then she asks Conan why, if he's so good with his deductions, why he couldn’t he have saved her sister, and ends up crying further while holding on a shocked Conan's shirt.

Later that day, Haibara attempts to read the files off the disk only to have a virus delete all the data.

<spoiler>'''Summary'''
* [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], real name Shiho Miyano, betrayed the [[Black Organization]] after they refused to justify the circumstances of her sister's death. Shiho was set to be killed for insubordination, so Shiho took the drug she made to commit suicide. It instead de-aged her without the Black Organization's knowing, and she managed to escape. Because of this, Shiho realized that [[Shinichi Kudo]] likely shrank so she went to his house where she ran into [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]].
* Shiho moves in with Agasa, takes the alias Ai Haibara, and transfers to [[Setting#Teitan Elementary School|Teitan Elementary]].
* Conan discovers that the woman from the [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|billion yen bank robbery]], [[Akemi Miyano]], is Shiho's sister. Viewers also learn that the scientist sister of Akemi's that [[Gin]] said was too valuable to leave the Organization was Shiho.<ref>Manga Volume 2, File 7, Page 12: "A Devil-like Woman"</ref>
* Conan discovers the name of the drug that shrunk him is [[APTX 4869]], and its creator is Sherry.
* Conan discovers the Black Organization searched [[Setting#Kudo Residence|Shinichi's house]] twice to make sure he was dead.
* The disk of APTX 4869 data which also contained real names and funding sources or involved agents is erased by the [[Night Baron]] virus that had been planted on the disk.
* The Black Organization calls off plans to kill Masami Hirota because he was murdered by someone else first.
* Various members of the Black Organization, including Gin, start hunting for Sherry.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Shugo Matsui'''. Matsui had made the footprints in advance, putting the paint there and making it seem Adachi did. He had used only Gomera's feet, since there was no tail mark on the floor. He then took off the suit at the stairs, ran into a storage room downstairs and threw the costume out the window on fire. Adachi and Tomomi lied to cover up for him. The wound on his leg was faked at first, using studio blood. After the murder incident, he stabbed his own leg with a separate knife and hid it in the props box. To hide the sign of sweat, he changed shirts, which also had a spill of juice from Ayumi who spilled it on his shirt earlier.

* '''Motive'''
The news that Matsui was tired of playing Gomera and wanted to move onto other roles was a rumor spread by Kamei. Matsui was unaware of the rumor until he found out himself. Not wanting the final Gomera movie to be made, he killed Kamei.</spoiler>

* In the Funimation Dub, Conan/Jimmy narrates that the Gomera movie became a hit. And though Lester was sent to prison, he continues writing new Gomera movies under "A. Gomer".

== Remastered version ==
A remastered version of the episode aired on January 9, 2010.

== Trivia ==
* "Gomera" is a reference to Toho's Gozilla Kaiju franchise. The fairy that calms Gomera's rage is a reference to the twin fairies from Toho's Mothra series, in which Mothra becomes enraged whenever the fairies are threatened and only the fairies can calm Mothra.
* Another kaiju that possibly used as model is Gamera which has similar name and long lower canine. The name "Gomera" comes from replacing the "Ga" katakana in "Gamera" (ガ) with the "Go" katakana from Godzilla's Japanese name "Gojira" (ゴ) and both monster's names end in "ra" (ラ), thus making "Gomera" a portmanteau.
* This is the first case Conan solves using Agasa.
** The reason given (at least in the English Dub) for why Conan didn't knock anyone out to solve the case is due to him not having his Wristwatch Stun-Gun with him, therefore prompting him to ask Agasa to lipsync while using the voice-changing bow tie to solve the case, since Agasa of course knows Conan's real identity, and since this was before the widespread use of cellphones or Agasa's invention of the Earring Cell Phone, having Conan call in as Shinichi would have been more complicated and likely raised suspicions.
* The trick utilised in this case pays tribute to ''[[wikipedia:Death on the Nile|Death on the Nile]]'', a novel written by [[Agatha Christie]].
** This is also the only case Agasa solves via Conan in the Funimation dub or really any of the official English Dubs, though a fan dub of "[[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|The University Professor Murder Case]]" exists, which is the next case that Agasa solves via Conan.

==== Part 1 ====
Ran and Conan accompany Kogoro to Shiki Island, a very superstitious island, where many of the residents believe in local legends.

Into the eerie darkness of the Pirates' Cave.
}}

Conan proves that Kogoro did not kill the caretaker. Next, Conan enters the cave to show that the sounds were from the wind in the tunnels. But before he can Suzu finds him and threatens to tell, unless conan kisses her that is. So after a quick peck on the cheek they both head into the cave. Conan finds a staircase which breaks away to reveal another dead man and the killer. Conan deduces that the ghost ship was stuck in this part of the cave for seven years due to a cave-in. Conan finds the gold hidden in the bricks of the staircase covered in moss. Another cave-in occurs, forcing Conan and the killer to leave. The gold is sealed inside the cave.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Goro Kinoshita'''. Kouji Hamada was originally one of the Ryuujinmaru’s shipmates who killed the captain and threw Uehara, who was also a crew member of the Ryujinmaru, overboard to keep the gold for himself and set up an identity as the island's new lighthouse keeper, whose name is apparently '''Aoki'''. Kinoshita captured and tortured him for the ship's location, later killing him. He then attempted to frame Kogoro for the murder, to no avail as Conan as Kogoro proved his innocence. He then killed Uehara to prevent him from getting the spoils as well.

| description = Goro Kinoshita attempted to kill Conan and Suzu after they had stumbled onto the body of his newest victim.
}}

Conan deduces the gunshot wound he received from Uehara was in fact self-inflicted, the evidence is his scorched skin that had been scorched, and that there was a gunpowder burn, indicating indirect close range fire. For Uehara the gunshot was on the wrong side of his head, including the gun that placed in the wrong hand. Shortly after, Conan after distracting Kinoshita kicks one of the bricks on the floor knocking him out. As the same time revealing the "bricks" were actually the gold along, as the gold had been covered in moss due to it being hidden in the cave for so long.

=== Motive ===
His motive was for the missing billion yen gold on the Shiki Island Ghost Ship. The gold however was buried in the rubble thus allowing the islanders to live in peace believing their debt had been paid and the curse was over.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Goro Kinoshita - Edmund Hanratty
:* Takeo Mikami - Chief Mikami
:* Yasuo Uehara - Rex Lager
:* Kouji Hamada - Hank Hamada
:* Ryuujinmaru - Ryumaru
:* Water Army Reference Hall - Museum of Nautical History
* In the Venus Arabic Dub, Since they remove anything about alcohol, Instead of saying that Kogoro got drunk on "juice". They opted to say that he gets dizzy whenever he smells gasoline making it a plot point in which made Conan figure out the exploding ball.
* The backing track and vocals and lyrics for Kimi ga Ireba are changed, likely due to copyright issues. This would also be the case in [[The Time-Bombed Skyscraper]] and [[A Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case|The Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case]], though in [[The Fourteenth Target]], the original backing track is used, with the English dub lyrics.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first two-part anime original episode.
* The Funimation Dub's version of Kimi ga Ireba never did receive any official release, possibly due to the difficulties of navigating copyright laws between different countries, since Kimi ga Ireba was made in Japan, and despite the transformative nature of the Dub's version, they may have been unable to legally release a full version as per terms of an agreement with Toei.
* This episode is the first time where Conan doesn't use the Sleeping Kogoro to solve the big case.

Into the eerie darkness of the Pirates' Cave.

Conan proves that Kogoro did not kill the caretaker. Next, Conan enters the cave to show that the sounds were from the wind in the tunnels. But before he can Suzu finds him and threatens to tell, unless conan kisses her that is. So after a quick peck on the cheek they both head into the cave. Conan finds a staircase which breaks away to reveal another dead man and the killer. Conan deduces that the ghost ship was stuck in this part of the cave for seven years due to a cave-in. Conan finds the gold hidden in the bricks of the staircase covered in moss. Another cave-in occurs, forcing Conan and the killer to leave. The gold is sealed inside the cave.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Goro Kinoshita'''. Kouji Hamada was originally one of the Ryuujinmaru’s shipmates who killed the captain and threw Uehara, who was also a crew member of the Ryujinmaru, overboard to keep the gold for himself and set up an identity as the island's new lighthouse keeper, whose name is apparently '''Aoki'''. Kinoshita captured and tortured him for the ship's location, later killing him. He then attempted to frame Kogoro for the murder, to no avail as Conan as Kogoro proved his innocence. He then killed Uehara to prevent him from getting the spoils as well.

Conan deduces the gunshot wound he received from Uehara was in fact self-inflicted, the evidence is his scorched skin that had been scorched, and that there was a gunpowder burn, indicating indirect close range fire. For Uehara the gunshot was on the wrong side of his head, including the gun that placed in the wrong hand. Shortly after, Conan after distracting Kinoshita kicks one of the bricks on the floor knocking him out. As the same time revealing the "bricks" were actually the gold along, as the gold had been covered in moss due to it being hidden in the cave for so long.

=== Motive ===
His motive was for the missing billion yen gold on the Shiki Island Ghost Ship. The gold however was buried in the rubble thus allowing the islanders to live in peace believing their debt had been paid and the curse was over.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Goro Kinoshita - Edmund Hanratty
:* Takeo Mikami - Chief Mikami
:* Yasuo Uehara - Rex Lager
:* Kouji Hamada - Hank Hamada
:* Ryuujinmaru - Ryumaru
:* Water Army Reference Hall - Museum of Nautical History
* In the Venus Arabic Dub, Since they remove anything about alcohol, Instead of saying that Kogoro got drunk on "juice". They opted to say that he gets dizzy whenever he smells gasoline making it a plot point in which made Conan figure out the exploding ball.
* The backing track and vocals and lyrics for Kimi ga Ireba are changed, likely due to copyright issues. This would also be the case in The Time-Bombed Skyscraper and The Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case, though in The Fourteenth Target, the original backing track is used, with the English dub lyrics.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first two-part anime original episode.
* The Funimation Dub's version of Kimi ga Ireba never did receive any official release, possibly due to the difficulties of navigating copyright laws between different countries, since Kimi ga Ireba was made in Japan, and despite the transformative nature of the Dub's version, they may have been unable to legally release a full version as per terms of an agreement with Toei.
* This episode is the first time where Conan doesn't use the Sleeping Kogoro to solve the big case.

Conan and the Detective Boys visit the film set of their favorite monster, Gomera, and stumble onto a real-life murder. The most puzzling aspect of the case is the prime suspect: Gomera. The kids must uncover the truth behind the grizzly killing before the death toll rises higher.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Shugo Matsui'''. Matsui had made the footprints in advance, putting the paint there and making it seem Adachi did. He had used only Gomera's feet, since there was no tail mark on the floor. He then took off the suit at the stairs, ran into a storage room downstairs and threw the costume out the window on fire. Adachi and Tomomi lied to cover up for him. The wound on his leg was faked at first, using studio blood. After the murder incident, he stabbed his own leg with a separate knife and hid it in the props box. To hide the sign of sweat, he changed shirts, which also had a spill of juice from Ayumi who spilled it on his shirt earlier.

* '''Motive'''
The news that Matsui was tired of playing Gomera and wanted to move onto other roles was a rumor spread by Kamei. Matsui was unaware of the rumor until he found out himself. Not wanting the final Gomera movie to be made, he killed Kamei.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Daisuke Mikami - Josh Listenburg
:* Ryota Adachi - Ramone Amberwitz
:* Shugo Matsui - Lester Higgins
:* Tonomi Sakaguchi - Tamera Heatherly
:* Osamu Kamei - Orville Kessle
* In the Funimation Dub, Conan/Jimmy narrates that the Gomera movie became a hit. And though Lester was sent to prison, he continues writing new Gomera movies under "A. Gomer".

== Remastered version ==
A remastered version of the episode aired on January 9, 2010.

== Trivia ==
* "Gomera" is a reference to Toho's Gozilla Kaiju franchise. The fairy that calms Gomera's rage is a reference to the twin fairies from Toho's Mothra series, in which Mothra becomes enraged whenever the fairies are threatened and only the fairies can calm Mothra.
* Another kaiju that possibly used as model is Gamera which has similar name and long lower canine. The name "Gomera" comes from replacing the "Ga" katakana in "Gamera" (ガ) with the "Go" katakana from Godzilla's Japanese name "Gojira" (ゴ) and both monster's names end in "ra" (ラ), thus making "Gomera" a portmanteau.
* This is the first case Conan solves using Agasa.
** The reason given (at least in the English Dub) for why Conan didn't knock anyone out to solve the case is due to him not having his Wristwatch Stun-Gun with him, therefore prompting him to ask Agasa to lipsync while using the voice-changing bow tie to solve the case, since Agasa of course knows Conan's real identity, and since this was before the widespread use of cellphones or Agasa's invention of the Earring Cell Phone, having Conan call in as Shinichi would have been more complicated and likely raised suspicions.
* The trick utilised in this case pays tribute to ''[[wikipedia:Death on the Nile|Death on the Nile]]'', a novel written by [[Agatha Christie]].

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Professor Agasa takes the Detective Boys camping. It is a beautiful day and they enjoy a view of Mt. Fuji as well as the newly built Nishitamashi Twin Towers, the now tallest buildings in Japan. Mitsuhiko asks Agasa if they can have a look at the towers on their way back and Agasa agrees. They set up camp and Agasa and Ai prepare rice and curry for everyone. Genta chastises Mitsuhiko for not finishing his rice, saying "there will be consequences from the gods, that's what my parents always say".

[[File:M5-8.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ai phoning someone enigmatically amidst nighttime.]]
[[File:M5-5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Twin Towers of Nishitamashi.]]

At night, everyone sleeps soundly in their tents when Genta wakes up because he has to go to the bathroom. On his way back, he spots Ai in a phone booth. He doesn't think there is anything suspicious about it and runs back to the tent because he feels cold. Ai talks to an unknown person on the phone and says she will go to the Twin Towers and "he" will join her as well. Somewhere else, at the same time, Gin and Vodka finish a phone call in their Porsche 356 A, though it isn't clear if they were talking to Ai. Gin says they are going to the Nishitamashi towers the following day.

In the afternoon, the Detective Boys and Agasa return to Tokyo. Genta complains that his seatbelt is a bit tight and Mitsuhiko replies that that isn't any surprise, after all Genta ate five bowls of rice at breakfast. To pass the time, Mitsuhiko suggests playing the 30 seconds-game. Players have to count down to 30 seconds without looking at a timer and whoever is closest, wins. Ai and Agasa sit the game out. Mitsuhiko goes first and gets 40 seconds, Conan does a bit better, stopping at 27 seconds, Genta gets all the way up to 59 seconds and Ayumi manages a perfect 30 seconds. Genta then asks Ai who she was talking to on the phone the previous night and Ai replies that he must have imagined that. They park in front of the towers, where, to their great surprise, Sonoko, Ran and Kogoro join them, having taken a taxi. Everyone decides to go to the towers together and Kogoro explains that he was invited by the owner of the building, his old college friend Mio Tokiwa. Chinami Sakaguchi, Mio's secretary, greets her guests in front of the towers and explains she is going to take them on a tour of the buildings. She says the Tokiwa Corporation uses all of the floors above the 31st floor and that she will first take them to the Tokiwa showroom on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Mitsuhiko tells Ayumi that Tokiwa specialises in software but deals with everything concerning computers. Yoshiaki Hara, an executive and programmer for Tokiwa, meets them in front of the showroom and presents his newest invention - a machine that can predict what someone will look like in ten years. Ayumi and Agasa try it out first. Agasa looks exactly the same but everyone is stunned by Ayumi's pretty appearance. Genta and Mitsuhiko try the machine out next and aren't sure what to make of their appearance as 17-year olds. Sonoko and Ran decide to give it a go. Sonoko is disappointed, declaring she looks old, but Ran, Kogoro - and quite obviously Conan, who tries to remain inconspicuous - are impressed by Ran's photo, Kogoro says she reminds him of Eri. Mitsuhiko and Ayumi wonder about Conan's strange reaction.

[[File:M5-15.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi's predicted look in ten years.]]

Conan and Ai refuse to participate for obvious reasons, fearing they will be exposed by the machine. Kogoro forces Conan to sit down and have his photo taken and Mitsuhiko and Genta pressure Ai to sit down as well. The machine takes a photo of them but then shows an error message, keeping Conan and Ai safe.

Sawaguchi's phone rings and she tells her guests to follow her to the 75th floor where everything is being prepared for the grand opening party of the towers. As they go to the elevator, Sawaguchi accidentally treads on Kogoro's toes and apologises, embarassed. Hara jokes it isn't a surprise that Sawaguchi is clumsy, she was born in the Chinese year of the Boar after all. Sawaguchi gets everyone into the VIP elevator which instantly accesses any floor of the building. She explains that the VIP elevator can only be entered on this floor and the 66th floor where there is a concert hall. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko admire the view as the elevator takes them up and say it feels like going straight to heaven. The reception room on the 75th floor is in a complete mess while everything is being set up for the party. Mio Tokiwa comes to join her guests as they get out of the elevator and introduces them to some other VIP guests: Hosui Kisaragi, a painter who specialises in the traditional Japanese ways of painting, Iwamatsu Oki, a council member in Nishitamashi who supported the building of the towers and Hidehiko Kazama, the architect who designed the buildings. Kazama explains that he studied under Teiji Moriya, which instantly alarms Conan and Kogoro but Kazama assures them that he doesn't plan on blowing his creations up at all. Conan points out Moriya wouldn't have approved of the towers because they are assymetrical. Kazama says this was intentional. One side of the tower they are in right now offers a perfect view of Mount Fuji, on the other side you can see tower B which is a commercial building with a hotel on the top floors. The hotel has a rooftop pool with a retractable roof.

[[File:M5-20.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hara offers chocolates hospitably.]]

Oki, who is already quite drunk, asks Mio if he can't spend the night in the hotel and she arranges for him to stay in a suite on the 67th floor on tower B. Oki thanks her and says he wants to take her out for dinner, before noticing Mio's unusual brooch. She replies she got it as a gift. Kisaragi abruptly decides he has to leave. Kazama explains that the painter feels insulted by the way Mio treats his art. She buys his paintings and sells them for a profit without appreciating him as an artist. Hara hands chocolates to Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko and invites them to his house to test a new game he created. He tells the Detective Boys to visit him the following Sunday. Ai decides to leave and Mitsuhiko approaches Ran in private and says he needs Ran's help. Ayumi also asks to speak to Ran in private. in the meantime, Sonoko still studies her photo when Ai walks past, wondering if she should get a perm. Two Tokiwa employees get out of the VIP elevator and discuss a "luxury car" that just parked in front of the towers. They say it is a Porsche 356A which alarms Conan immensely. He asks the employees to describe the car to him and is shocked when their descriptions match the car used by Gin. Conan hurries to the elevator and keeps an eye on the car as he goes down. The Porsche drives off as soon as he gets out of the building.

The next day Mitsuhiko meets up with Ran at a fast food restaurant and asks for Ran's help. He says he has a crush on Ayumi but it is obvious that Ayumi prefers Conan. He is also confused because he feels like he is developing feelings for Ai and wonders if he's a bad person for liking two girls. Ran says there is no need for him to be ashamed and that he should treasure those feelings but stay friends with both girls. Later, Ayumi meets Ran at a donut shop and confesses that she has a crush on Conan. She worries Conan has a crush on Ran as well. Ran doesn't believe that but Ayumi insists, saying she watched Conan and "female intuition" told her Conan has feelings for Ran. Ran is amused how serious the children take all of this. During same night, Ran calls Shinichi and they discuss Conan having feelings for her. Shinichi laughs Ran's suggestion off. Meanwhile, an intruder breaks into Oki's room in the hotel on the 67th floor of tower B, pulls out a knife, backs Oki into a corner and fatally stabs the politician with his knife before he escapes.

[[File:M5-suspects.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The case suspects.]]

As they were among the last people to see Oki alive, Inspector Megure calls everyone to police headquarters to inform them of Oki's death and question their alibis. Chiba reports that Oki died between 10 o'clock and midnight and that they found a sake cup broken in half at the crime scene. Megure says he has two theories about the cup's meaning. Either it fell out of Oki's pocket or it was a message left by either the murderer or the victim. Shiratori says the police have five main subjects. Because the building isn't open to the public, only Tokiwa, Hara, Kisaragi, Sawaguchi and Kazama could have entered Oki's room and committed the crime. Kogoro puts a theory forward - "choko" (sake cup) could refer to "chocolate" and point to Hara who is known for loving chocolate. Megure informs Kogoro that Hara is the only one among the suspects who has an alibi. The police don't really have a valid motive yet but wonder if Oki's death had something to do with the towers themselves. Oki was an influential politician who made the city government give up their opposition to the building project.

Conan asks if the sake cup couldn't refer to Mio Tokiwa because her brooch looks like it. Kogoro angrily objects but Megure says she is actually the current main suspect since she was staying on the 68th floor of tower B, making her closest to the victim.
Sonoko says the sake cup reminds her of the bowl used to mix powder in traditional Japanese painting.
They realise it could point to almost every one of the subjects except Kazama and Sawaguchi. Conan tells the police officers that he heard Kazama studied under Teiji Moriya but Shiratori replies that that doesn't make him suspicious as Kazama is nowhere near as much a perfectionist as Moriya was. Megure adds that Sawaguchi maybe had a motive for killing Oki as well. Her father was an investigative journalist who was looking into Oki when he suddenly died from exhaustion. Sawaguchi was in her last year at university when she lost her father. However, there is no evidence that ties Oki to Mr. Sawaguchi's death.

Conan sneaks another look at the photo of the victim hidden in Megure's notebook and notices that blood is suspiciously missing from a place where it should be. Ai looks at the photo with him and says she has noticed the same. Conan quietly tells her he worries the sake cup could point to the Black Organization but Ai calms him, saying they would never leave such an obvious message.

[[File:M5-28.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Detective Boys' investigation.]]

Out of the corner of his eye, Conan sees Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi having a quiet discussion and apparently agreeing on something. The three friends meet up at Beika Station to get ahead of Conan in their investigation, but Conan sneaks up on them, surprising them and makes them promise never to do anything this dangerous again, after all they could meet a murderer. Genta explains he asked Ai to join them - she declined, saying she had housework to do. Actually, Ai spends the afternoon by herself and watches a gangster movie in the cinema, which reminds her a lot of herself now she left the organization after her older sister's death, because there is a scene where a man betrayed the gang and was killed by them while escaping along with his beloved younger sister.

Mitsuhiko explains their plans to Conan. They are on their way to Kazama's house and plan to visit Hara the following day. Mitsuhiko says they also found out Kisaragi lives in a house he had built in Asahino, in walking distance from Kazama, and that he moved there three years ago.

Upon arrival at Asahino station, the Detective Boys first go to visit Kazama. Conan is impressed by the CAD system the architect uses to digitally design his buildings and models. Mitsuhiko starts questioning Kazama on Oki's death. He says he had no reason to be angry at the politician and was actually quite grateful for his support in the twin towers project and thanked Oki for it. Kazama also tells them about his son and that he has to call his family now. Conan realises Kazama can't be the murderer as he was completely relaxed around them.

[[File:M5-75.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|Meeting with the painter Kisaragi.]]

Kisaragi is working on a painting of Mount Fuji when the Detective Boys knock on his door. He is originally furious with them for disturbing him in the middle of his work. Conan notices Kisaragi has the blinds drawn even though his house overlooks Mount Fuji perfectly. Kisaragi draws caricatures of all the Detective Boys, hands them to the kids with a grin and shoos them away.

That night, Professor Agasa wakes up from his own loud snoring. He gets up to have a glass of water and overhears Ai speaking to someone on the phone. The following morning, he calls Conan and says Genta told him something similar had happened during their recent camping trip. Agasa fears the organization has lured Ai back in, but Conan tells the professor to trust her. Conan puts the phone down and meets up with the rest of the Detective Boys to visit Hara. Hara's doors are not fully closed, making Conan instantly suspicious. He takes his shoes off, sneaks into the apartment and they find Hara dead on the floor of his living room.

[[File:M5-21.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan scrutinising the clue left in the crime scene.]]

Hara has a single wound in his chest that could come from a gunshot. Conan also spots a knife with chocolate cake remains on the floor next to Hara's body and another broken sake cup. The police arrive and Takagi wonders what the sake cup could mean. Shiratori says it is obvious that they're now dealing with a serial killer. Conan privately asks Investigator Tome from the Crime Scene Team about the cup and Tome points out that this one doesn't have any bloodstains on it, meaning it could have been placed at the scene after Hara's murder to draw attention away from the actual murderer. Shiratori and Megure update Kogoro on the newest developments and say Hara was likely killed between 5 and 6 at night a day ago. Someone apparently also wiped Hara's entire computer data. The remaining suspects are Tokiwa, Kazama; Sawaguchi and Kisaragi. Megure says he wanted to ask Tokiwa to postpone the opening party, but she refused, sending two ivnitations to the party to the police instead.

[[File:M5-4.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Gin's conspiracy.]]

A black Porsche 356A parks in front of a block of flats and Gin steps out. He enters the building and meets with Vodka who is searching one of the apartments, previously belonging to Akemi Miyano. Gin says they could use Akemi's computer to run a call tracing program to find out where Sherry is and Vodka switches the computer on. At the same time, Ai gets up and calls Akemi's number, leaving a message about the party that will happen the following day. Gin's program is almost successful, but three seconds before it can reveal Sherry's current location to him and Vodka, the line is cut. Conan has secretly followed Ai and pulled the plug. He chastises her for being so reckless, reminding her that the organization already turned up at the Twin Towers. Ai runs back to her room in tears. Akemi's phone rings again shortly afterwards but the caller only uses it to remotely delete Ai's message.

The following morning, Ai explains herself to her friends at Teitan Elementary. She says she knows she is doing something dangerous, but she misses hearing her sister's voice and the only way she can do that is by calling Akemi's number and listening to her mailbox message. The Detective Boys comfort her and reassure her she isn't alone anymore, she has got all of them now.

Opening night at the Twin towers arrives. A metallic ball is rolled into the central surveillance room in the first level of the tower basements. The ball releases a gas that immediately knocks out the guards watching the CCTV screens. The culprit plants bombs in the main server room, near the entrance and on the rooftop of tower A.

[[File:M5-78.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Sonoko's new hairstyle.]]

At the same time, at Kogoro's Detective Agency, everyone meets up to go to the party but Sonoko is late. Conan and Ai quietly discuss the case and Conan asks Ai if Hara could be involved with the Black Organization. Ai says it might be possible, the Organization looks to recruit different sorts of specialists from all possible fields to work on its research projects.

Sonoko finally arrives, wearing her hair in a perm like Ai. Outside of the buildings, Takagi, Chiba, Megure and Shiratori stand guard, having had their entrance refused by Tokiwa, so all the police can do for now is watch the guests arriving for the party.

In the reception room, everyone immediately notices a shiny red Ford Mustang Convertible on a pedestal. The kids wonder how it was transported to the 75th floor as the car is too big to fit into the regular elevator, but Ayumi notices there is another elevator for cargo that was used to bring the car upstairs.

The guests enjoy a beautiful view of the sunset from the high windows and Mio Tokiwa walks on stage. She announces the guests will now be able to join a game she herself learned from her father, the "30 seconds- game". Participants will have to guess when 30 seconds have passed without using their watches or phones. Whoever comes closest will win the Mustang. If there is a tie, the winner will be decided by rock-paper-scissors and the loser receives a mountain bike with a helmet. Mio's assistant collects everyone's watches except for Conan's and Ai's. Before the game officially begins, Conan notices that Kisaragi didn't participate either.

Mio starts the stopwatch and, to everyone's immense surprise, Kogoro wins the game.

Sawaguchi calls up several guests of honour who helped build the Twin Towers to the stage before the lights are switched off for a special presentation. On a screen in front of the stage, the guests see a variety of paintings made by Hosui Kisaragi as an announcer talks about his artistic career, saying they will now officially present his latest masterpiece.

The spotlights are turned on, revealing a massive painting of Mount Fuji and Mio Tokiwa's body dangles from a wire in front of the painting. She was hanged.

Kogoro brings her body down to do a first inspection and notices a sake cup on the floor next to Mio's corpse. This one, however, is unbroken.
They draw the curtains and Kogoro calls Megure and his officers to join him at the scene of the crime. They notice Mio's body was attached to a hook tied to the ceiling with piano wire, so she choked to death when the painting lowered and the wire was being pulled upwards. They decide to recreate the moment the murder was committed, instructing all suspects to stand where they stood when the lights went out.
Kogoro accuses Kisaragi of committing the murder as he stood next to Mio, saying his motive was to prevent Mio from making a profit with his paintings. Takagi interjects, saying Kisaragi had no idea about the sake cups being left at the other crime scenes.
Kogoro now declares it has to have been Sawaguchi, accusing her of being as ambitious as her father and of continuing her father's investigation into Oki's wrongdoings. Sawaguchi's father believed Oki was being bribed by Tokiwa to allow the building of the Twin Towers to continue. Sawaguchi asks Kogoro if he has any proof and he comes up with an outlandish theory. He says "choko" (sake cup) is spelled with the kanji for boar and kuchi and is a hint at Sawaguchi, who was born in the year of the boar.
Conan wants to interrupt but Ai motions him over, saying she has an idea about the way the murder was committed. Ai says Mio couldn't have noticed someone attached a piano wire to her Pearl necklace as she had been drinking and this is how she was lured to her death. Conan has a look and finds a lone pearl next to the place Kisaragi stood in. He quickly gets the elevator to the ground level to confirm his suspicion for Kisaragi's motive.

Suddenly, at the 4th basement level, one of the bombs planted by the culprit explodes in the power generator room and all the lights in A tower go out. The second bomb detonates in the Server room and eradicates all data on the servers belonging to the Tokiwa corporation, setting off a giant fire in the process.

Sawaguchi remembers that the VIP elevators are still working as they run on an independent power source. All women and children are instructed to escape by the elevators which directly lead out of A tower and Megure instructs the men to use the emergency stairs, cross over the Sky Bridge and run down tower B. Firefighters arrive and formulate a plan to put the fires out. The evacuation begins.

Conan almost fits in the elevator but the weight sensors go off, making him wait for the next one. The elevator stops on the 66th floor and the Detective Boys get out as well, leaving their place to a frightened young woman and her baby, but leaving them stuck in the building as well. Conan realises the way the bombs were planted directly points to the Organization, it was too precise to be committed to an ordinary criminal.

The elevator finally returns to the 75th floor and Conan, Ran and Sonoko step in. On the way down, Conan suddenly realises that the Organization think Ai, or rather Shiho Miyano, is at the party as well and that they now mistake Sonoko for her thanks to her new hairstyle. He zooms in to the roof of B tower, using his glasses and spots Gin who has a sniper pointing his rifle directly at Sonoko.

Conan tricks Sonoko into moving out of the way and Gin, who observes them from the roof, realises that this can't be Shiho, as Sonoko behaves rather strangely when a bullet hits the elevator next to her.
The elevator gets stuck.

Conan uses the elevator hatch to escape and Ran opens the door to the 45th floor. With flames making their way upwards, Conan hurries everyone across to the second Sky Bridge.

Gin and Vodka lock their scope lenses onto the second Bridge, believing Sherry must be escaping with the men. When they don't see her, they decide to blow up both bridges in the 60th and 45th floors, leaving Sherry trapped in tower A. Just as the Detective Boys want to hurry across the bridge in the 60th floor, it is blown up by Vodka, sending it crashing into the bridge on the 45th floor, trapping Conan and Ran as well. Smoke starts billowing into the room and Conan and Ran start to feel nauseous. Ran quickly thinks of a way to escape, breaks the glass hatch next to her, grabs a fire hose behind the hatch, ties it around Conan and herself and jumps off the building, using the force to break another glass window just as the hose starts to burn.

Conan and Ran reach the police downstairs but Conan can't see the Detective Boys. At exactly that moment, Genta contacts him with his badge, telling him they are still stuck on the 60th floor. Megure calls for a helicopter to rescue the kids. Conan sneaks across to Agasa's car to grab his skateboard, takes the elevator up to the 60th floor of B tower and jumps across the remains of the Sky Bridge to A tower, helping the Detective Boys escape to the roof before he goes back to the 75th floor to confront the serial killer.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>After everyone has evacuated from floor 75th, Conan and Ai confront the culprit who has yet to evacuate from the party room: '''Hosui Kisaragi'''.

* Kisaragi send an expensive pearl necklace to President Mio, which she wore at the party. At the backstage prior to the murder, he hooked a wire from the top of his painting of Mount Fuji along the top of the curtain and tied it to an identical necklace. Shortly before his painting would be displayed, he silently approched Mio and removed the necklace from her neck. After calming her down, he pretended to pick it the necklace up and put the second necklace on her instead. With his trap in place, all he had to do was wait for the painting to be lowered down, choking Mio to death. Kisaragi left a sake cup on the stage to frame the serial killer for it.

* During the first murder, Kisaragi visited Oki by presenting him a painting as a gift, lowering Oki's guard. After Oki was murdered, he removed the painting which was hung on the wardrobe door from the crime scene, creating a strange shape of bloodstains.

* However, Kisaragi wasn't the one who killed Hara, as Hara was already murdered by the time that he arrived at the latter's house. Instead, he used the broken cup that he had prepared to make it appears that the murderer of both Oki and Hara was the same person, and removing himself from the suspect list as his alibi during the second murder was verified by the Detective Boys.

* The evidence that proves Kisaragi's crime is hidden in his cane: the '''first necklace''' that Mio wore. Conan noticed strange sound coming from the can after the murder, meaning that Kisaragi had hidden something inside it.

== Motive ==
Kisaragi concedes and confesses: he committed all three murders for the sake of Mount Fuji. For ten years, he always climbed a hill just outside of Nishitama City to paint the mountain. When old age caught up with him, he built a house on top of the hill to keep enjoying his favourite perspective of Mount Fuji when he painted, a view that was ruined by the Twin Towers which split the mountain in half, thus he murdered Mio and planned to murder Hara in vengeance for their involvement in constructing the towers, and Oki for approving the towers' construction plan. The broken sake cup was a reference to his now spoiled view of Mount Fuji. He left an unbroken sake cup at the third crime scene because the serial cases had already ended, and that Mio's body provided the same symbolism as she was hung in front of his painting, dividing the mountain the same way.

With all of his crimes exposed, Kisaragi tries to commit suicide by poison, which he originally intended to do so after he had succeeded in his goal, but is tranquilized by Conan with his watch, stating that as a detective he cannot allow Kisaragi to commit suicide as he must pay for his own sin.

== Aftermath ==
Ai, who listened to Conan's deduction, asks when Conan became suspicious of Kisaragi. Conan says he noticed the Twin Towers seemingly splitting Mount Fujii in two when they got out of Asahino Station and that he wondered why Kisaragi had his blinds drawn even though his house supposedly offered a perfect view of the mountain.

He also explains that he knows who actually killed Hara. Hara grabbed his silver knife to leave a dying message - silver in Japanese means "GIN". Gin didn't suspect this, thinking Hara wanted to defend himself with the knife. Conan says Hara must have hacked into the Black Organization's computers, which explains why his entire hard drive was erased.

Conan goes upstairs and Ai remains in the room, noticing a glowing red light behind the bar that she thinks has to come from a bomb. Just as Conan reaches the roof, Vodka remotely activates a bomb making it impossible for the rescue helicopter to land, so Conan quickly helps the Detective Boys down to the reception room again.

Ai shows a horrified Conan that she found a bomb under every table in the reception room. Conan frantically looks around and spots the dome on the roof of B tower, remembering that it is retractable. He thinks they can bridge the distance between both towers with the Mustang which remained in the room. Ai challenges Conan's assumption, saying the distance is 50 metres and they would need a minimum of 60 metres to successfully land on B tower. With the height difference taken into account, it will take only 2 seconds for the car to hit the tower and they would need a speed of 108 km/h. Conan explains he wants to use the explosion as an accelerant.

This plan, however, needs absolutely precise timing and Conan's watch battery just died. They remember how good Ayumi was at the 30 seconds game so they tell her to help everyone and tell Conan to start the car on time. Ai decides she will also count down to 30 to help Ayumi and remains sitting on one of the tables. Conan calls Megure and asks for the roof of B tower to be opened.

They load an unconscious Kisaragi into the car and start the countdown a minute before the bombs are due to explode. As 30 seconds approach, Ai doesn't want to make any move so Genta jumps out of the car, hauls her over his shoulder and runs back into the car with Ai with five seconds remaining.

Conan hits the accelerator, the bombs detonate and the car flies through the air. Ai almost falls out but Mitsuhiko saves her. Conan suddenly notices a glass sculpture inside the pool on tower B, realising how dangerous this could be for Ai so he kicks Ayumi's helmet (which she had won for coming second in the 30 seconds game at the party) into the sculpture, breaking it and saving Ai.

The car safely lands in the pool. Ayumi explains that she always gets excited when Conan is near her so she can count her heartbeat to help guessing how many seconds have passed.

Vodka is informed that five children and an old man have escaped with the car and finally realises Sherry was nowhere near the towers.
Gin says he doesn't care, their main objective has been fulfilled - the servers used by Tokiwa are destroyed.

The police arrest Kisaragi.

Suddenly, a horrified Kogoro realises that his brand new car is now swimming in the pool, completely submerged.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* For some unknown reason, Gin refers to [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] as "Shelly" in the English dub. This could be because of a translator error in the script or yet another edit TMS Entertainment required in the dub version.
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Chinami Sawaguchi - Cherilyn Chrisabel
:* Iwamatsu Oki - Augustine Odell
:* Mio Tokiwa - Madison Monroe
:* Hidehiko Kazama - Theodore Radcliff

== Trivia ==
* The car that Kogoro won which was used by Conan to jump from Tower A to the pool in Tower B is a 2002 red Ford Mustang GT convertible [SN95].
* Yoshiaki Hara drives a 1996 silver metallic Toyota Crown Majesta [S150].
* The Black Organization spies from a 1998 dark blue Chevrolet Astro van. The license plate number is 新宿 33-06 (Shinjuku 33-06).
* There are conspiracy theories stating that the plot of this movie was meant as a warning about 9/11, as the film was released the same year that the attacks happened, and the attacks were very similar to some of the events depicted in the film, with twin tower buildings being bombed in both and the subsequent fires causing massive structural damage.
** It's worth pointing out as well that Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind 9/11 and former head of Al-Quaeda, was killed in 2011 and his computer's hard drive had episodes of Detective Conan on it, though the parallels between the movie and 9/11 are likely just an eerie coincidence.
* The movie Haibara watches in the cinema, in which a gangster uses a M1928 Thompson submachine gun to shoot out of a car with "927-215" as license plate number, the same for one of his men in 1987 ''[[Wikipedia: The Untouchables (film)|The Untouchables]]'', is about Al Capone's gang.
* Gin's sniper assault rifle used to shoot Sonoko is a Colt M16A2.
* The design in Kazama's CAD system is the same of the light attraction appearing in the climax scene from [[Captured in Her Eyes]].
* The scene where Ran uses the fire hose as a rope and jumps out of the fire with Conan and breaks the glass below is a reference to Bruce Willis ''[[Wikipedia: Die Hard|Die Hard]]'' movie 1988, where John McClain had to do the same thing on the rooftop.
* Gin and Vodka appear in the movie, though no other codenamed Black Organization members appear, likely because [[Vermouth]] hadn't been well established at this point. The only other code-named agents at this point who hadn't appeared in the movie were [[Pisco]], though in Movies [[Movie 13|13]] and 26 would be mentioned, and [[Tequila]] who at this point when the film aired, an episode exclusive character for [[Game Company Murder Case|The Game Company Murder Case]] though he would appear in a background sequence in [[Movie 26]] like Pisco.
* In the Funimation dub, Troy Baker reprised his role as Gin, while Vodka's voice was changed to be less gravelly and done by Christopher R Sabat this time around.
** This also marks the final appearance of Gin and Vodka in the Funimation dub, as well as Troy Baker's last performance as Gin. The new English dub replaced him with Albert Wesker voice actor DC Douglas.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
A TV program introduces Hiroki Sawada, a ten-year old computer prodigy. The reporter explains that Hiroki is already in graduate school at MIT. He has developed a DNA-tracker software and is now about to complete his second major project, an artificial mind called Noah's Ark. Since Hiroki's mother died, he has been looked after by Thomas Schindler, CEO of Schindler Inc., an influential software company. Schindler recognised Hiroki's enormous talent and encouraged him to develop it further, putting him under a rigorous study program with little free time or time to be a child.

Hiroki, who has been watching the program about himself, turns his TV off and goes back to his computer, putting the finishing touches on Noah's Ark. Once he is satisfied, he sends the artificial intelligence on his way and his computer shows the message "Noah's Ark sailed away", which also triggers an alarm in the building he is working in. A security guard notices the alarm and calls Thomas Schindler. Together, they try to enter Hiroki's room. When they finally manage to open the door, Hiroki is nowhere to be found. Dismayed, Schindler sees Hiroki's shoes on the balcony and has to conclude the inevitable: Hiroki committed suicide by jumping off the balcony.

}}

His computer screen shows a sailing boat ([[Wikipedia: Noah's Ark|Noah's Ark]]) on water and a message that reads: "Goodbye from Hiroki".

Two years later, Schindler Inc. presents its newest product at Beika City hall, a virtual reality game system called Cocoon. Many children attend the presentation, hoping they are among the lucky ones who are allowed to test Cocoon for the first time. To be included among the first players, the children have to obtain a special badge that was quite expensive. Conan, Ayumi, Genta, Haibara, and Mitsuhiko watch the crowd sadly, realising none of them could afford to pay for it, when Professor Agasa and Yusaku Kudo join them. Agasa hands Conan a badge and says it was paid for for his parents and that his mother Yukiko could not join them because she has a class reunion.

The other Detective Boys trade Golden Kamen Yaiba Cards with some other children in exchange for a Cocoon badge. So, all five of them end up being called up for the game tests.

Meanwhile, CEO Schindler gets into an argument with Tadaaki Kashimura, one of his top programmers, in the basement of City Hall. Schindler stabs Kashimura fatally then use a CD data theft and leaves. In his dying moments, Kashimura dips his finger into his own blood and leaves a message for the police. He presses the letters "J", "T" and "R" on the keyboard before he sinks back dead.

Conan finds the body and decides to actually join the Cocoon test as well, recognising that there might be a clue to the murderer's identity in the game. Yusaku, who was consulted by Kashimura when they developed the game, realises "JTR" has to mean "Jack the Ripper".

Among great interest from the audience, Cocoon is turned on and the children are instructed to sit into special chairs fitted with virtual reality glasses. Thomas Schindler explains that participants in Cocoon are put into a trance-like state to fully immerse themselves in the game. Suddenly, the system comes alive and a computer-generated voice explains that it is "Noah's ark" and has taken control of the program to "reset Japan". Most of the children participating in the game come from wealthy and influential families and Noah's Ark explains that it is challenging that status quo. Two parents try to get their children out of the chairs but a sudden burst of electricity shocks them as they try to open the cover of the seats. Noah's Ark further explains that it has modified the virtual games so they are more challenging and the children have to play them. If all children fail, the artificial intelligence will kill them with an [[Wikipedia: Electromagnetic pulse|electromagnetic burst (EMP)]], but they are allowed to leave if one child wins their game.

The participants are told they can chose between five different virtual reality (VR) levels of the game: Vikings, [[Wikipedia: Paris-Dakar Rally|Paris-Dakar Rally]], Colosseum, [[Wikipedia: King Solomon's Treasure|Solomon's Treasure]], and Old Time London.

Conan, Ran and the Detective Boys choose level 5, a mystery set in 19th century London. The game starts and Conan discovers he can't use Agasa's inventions. Professor Agasa is able to communicate with Conan and sends him a hint which makes Conan realise that Sherlock Holmes is the "supporting character" they have to find. Near [[Wikipedia: 221B Baker Street|221 B Baker Street]] a vagrant plays the accordion and sings an odd song. The children don't pay him any attention.

Mrs. Hudson mistakes the children for the Baker Street Irregulars and invites them into 221 B Baker Street, explaining that Holmes and Watson left for Dartmoor a day earlier. Ran has a look through Holmes' notes and realises he is investigating Jack the Ripper, which, as Conan immediately figures out, means the serial killer must be connected to Professor Moriarty.

Finding the criminal mastermind is next to impossible so Conan tells everyone they will have to seek out his right-hand man Colonel Sebastian Moran. Luckily, Colonel Moran spends his afternoons at one and the same gentlemen's club so they know where to go. At the club, they end up in a brawl and Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko have to quit the game. Conan forces the colonel into a stand-off, but before he can reply, an elderly man enters the room and tells Conan that Professor Moriarty has sent for them.

A carriage driver leads them to a carriage and tells them it will bring everyone to Moriarty. Conan exposes the driver's identity: it is nobody other than Professor Moriarty himself. Moriarty reveals that he feels responsible for Jack the Ripper's crimes. He took the boy in when he was living on the streets and Jack the Ripper learned a lot of the tricks of the trade from the master criminal. Professor Moriarty wants to play a part in bringing Jack the Ripper down and announces he will post a message to Jack in the following day's newspapers, requesting him to kill someone. He refuses to name the newest target, saying the children will figure it out once they read his message.

Moriarty keeps his promise and, reading through the message, Conan deduces that Moriarty has put a prize on the head of Irene Adler, a famous actress and, famously, the only woman Sherlock Holmes ever respected.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
[[File:Jack the Ripper game.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The identity of Jack the Ripper revealed by Conan.]]
At the same time, in the real world, Yusaku announces he has solved Kashimura's murder. He explains that Kashimura, his old college friend, didn't just recruit him to help with the Cocoon games, he also wanted Yusaku to investigate the sucide of Hiroki Sawada, Kashimura's son.

Kashimura was killed by '''Thomas Schindler'''. Schindler was also responsible for Hiroki's suicide. Through his research for his DNA program, Hiroki discovered the DNA of Jack the Ripper's confirmed second victim on a dagger that apparently belonged to the notorious serial killer and was now in Schindler's possession. Schindler realised it was only a matter of time before Hiroki would realise Schindler was a direct descendant of Jack the Ripper and pressured Hiroki further, leading to his suicide. He killed Kashimura because he found out Noah's Ark had sent Hiroki's research to Kashimura.

Schindler confesses everything and is arrested by the police.

In the meantime, two more children fail level 5 while protecting Irene Adler. Ai protects Conan and fails the game as well. Out of all fifty players, only Ran, Conan and a boy named Hideki Moroboshi remain. The tree of them follow follow Jack the Ripper to a runaway train from [[Wikipedia: Charing Cross railway station|London Charing Cross]], where he, in disguise, mixes in with the other passengers.

Conan sees through his disguise with the help of the notes taken from Holmes' office. Jack the Ripper throws a smoke bomb to escape when Ran tries to attack him. Once the smoke clears, all the passengers have disappeared. Conan and Hideki hurry to the engine room and realise the train is speeding up dangerously and someone destroyed the brakes. Jack the Ripper has taken Ran hostage and waits for Conan and Hideki on top of the train, revealing he has tied himself to Ran with a rope. Ran decides to sacrifice herself and jumps off the train, taking Jack the Ripper with her.

The train still races down the tracks and Conan starts to panic. Just then, the vagrant, actually a disguised Sherlock Holmes, appears on top of the train and gives Conan and Hideki advice that helps them to survice.

The train crashes into [[Wikipedia: St Pancras railway station|King's Cross Railway Station]].

Conan wins the game and tells Hideki he knows he is an avatar created by Hiroki Sawada/Noah's ark. The Ark explains he actually created this game so he could play with some friends, something Hiroki never could do while he was alive. Hiroki says goodbye to Conan, but before Noah's Ark deletes itself, it announces that it actually knows Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

The game ends and the children are released from Cocoon. Yusaku congratulates Conan on his win.</spoiler>

* Yusaku Kudo and Professor Agasa's limousine is dark blue Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
* The date in London is declared to be September 30, 1888 which is a Sunday, yet Moriarty says that the following day is to be Sunday.
* Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are said to be away on business at Dartmoor in reference to ''The Hound of the Baskervilles'' case, however this case did not take place until a year later in 1889.
* Noah's Ark is a reference to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Ultron from Marvel Comics, who is shown as backing himself up and traveling through the internet to create chaos. It also shares settings with the popular sci-fi horror manga and anime franchise "Gantz" as the cocoon gaming pods are similar to the black orb that is Gantz. Gantz forces people to play against their will for their own survival in it's own sick twisted almost video-game like setting.
* It's also similar to John Kramer/Jigsaw from the Saw movies, despite this movie being released 2 years before the first Saw movie. John Kramer seeks to place his Victims in death traps which can be escaped in order to make people more appreciative of their lives, just as Noah's Ark wishes to reset Japan's youth and prevent the repetition of their parent's mistakes.
* Conan plays [[Wikipedia: Pac-Man|Pac-Man]] in the last scene.
* The gun picked up by Genta at Sherlock Holmes' house is a Tranter 54-bore self-cocking revolver.
* Even though the children are unaware that the parents can hear their voices in the game, Haibara did call Conan "Kudo-kun" during her game over, and no one said anything about it at all.
* The names of the victims are changed (at least in the Funimation dub) likely as to not disrespect the descendants of some of the real life victims of Jack the Ripper, as well as to not exploit the names of those actual victims. In real life, the women who were slain by Jack the Ripper were either part time or full time prostitutes, something that the film omitted likely due to the extreme sexual nature of that being deemed unacceptable in a children's film.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
A TV program introduces Hiroki Sawada, a ten-year old computer prodigy. The reporter explains that Hiroki is already in graduate school at MIT. He has developed a DNA-tracker software and is now about to complete his second major project, an artificial mind called Noah's Ark. Since Hiroki's mother died, he has been looked after by Thomas Schindler, CEO of Schindler Inc., an influential software company. Schindler recognised Hiroki's enormous talent and encouraged him to develop it further, putting him under a rigorous study program with little free time or time to be a child.

Hiroki, who has been watching the program about himself, turns his TV off and goes back to his computer, putting the finishing touches on Noah's Ark. Once he is satisfied, he sends the artificial intelligence on his way and his computer shows the message "Noah's Ark sailed away", which also triggers an alarm in the building he is working in. A security guard notices the alarm and calls Thomas Schindler. Together, they try to enter Hiroki's room. When they finally manage to open the door, Hiroki is nowhere to be found. Dismayed, Schindler sees Hiroki's shoes on the balcony and has to conclude the inevitable: Hiroki committed suicide by jumping off the balcony.

}}

His computer screen shows a sailing boat ([[Wikipedia: Noah's Ark|Noah's Ark]]) on water and a message that reads: "Goodbye from Hiroki".

Two years later, Schindler Inc. presents its newest product at Beika City hall, a virtual reality game system called Cocoon. Many children attend the presentation, hoping they are among the lucky ones who are allowed to test Cocoon for the first time. To be included among the first players, the children have to obtain a special badge that was quite expensive. Conan, Ayumi, Genta, Haibara, and Mitsuhiko watch the crowd sadly, realising none of them could afford to pay for it, when Professor Agasa and Yusaku Kudo join them. Agasa hands Conan a badge and says it was paid for for his parents and that his mother Yukiko could not join them because she has a class reunion.

The other Detective Boys trade Golden Kamen Yaiba Cards with some other children in exchange for a Cocoon badge. So, all five of them end up being called up for the game tests.

Meanwhile, CEO Schindler gets into an argument with Tadaaki Kashimura, one of his top programmers, in the basement of City Hall. Schindler stabs Kashimura fatally then use a CD data theft and leaves. In his dying moments, Kashimura dips his finger into his own blood and leaves a message for the police. He presses the letters "J", "T" and "R" on the keyboard before he sinks back dead.

Conan finds the body and decides to actually join the Cocoon test as well, recognising that there might be a clue to the murderer's identity in the game. Yusaku, who was consulted by Kashimura when they developed the game, realises "JTR" has to mean "Jack the Ripper".

Among great interest from the audience, Cocoon is turned on and the children are instructed to sit into special chairs fitted with virtual reality glasses. Thomas Schindler explains that participants in Cocoon are put into a trance-like state to fully immerse themselves in the game. Suddenly, the system comes alive and a computer-generated voice explains that it is "Noah's ark" and has taken control of the program to "reset Japan". Most of the children participating in the game come from wealthy and influential families and Noah's Ark explains that it is challenging that status quo. Two parents try to get their children out of the chairs but a sudden burst of electricity shocks them as they try to open the cover of the seats. Noah's Ark further explains that it has modified the virtual games so they are more challenging and the children have to play them. If all children fail, the artificial intelligence will kill them with an [[Wikipedia: Electromagnetic pulse|electromagnetic burst (EMP)]], but they are allowed to leave if one child wins their game.

The participants are told they can chose between five different virtual reality (VR) levels of the game: Vikings, [[Wikipedia: Paris-Dakar Rally|Paris-Dakar Rally]], Colosseum, [[Wikipedia: King Solomon's Treasure|Solomon's Treasure]], and Old Time London.

Conan, Ran and the Detective Boys choose level 5, a mystery set in 19th century London. The game starts and Conan discovers he can't use Agasa's inventions. Professor Agasa is able to communicate with Conan and sends him a hint which makes Conan realise that Sherlock Holmes is the "supporting character" they have to find. Near [[Wikipedia: 221B Baker Street|221 B Baker Street]] a vagrant plays the accordion and sings an odd song. The children don't pay him any attention.

Mrs. Hudson mistakes the children for the Baker Street Irregulars and invites them into 221 B Baker Street, explaining that Holmes and Watson left for Dartmoor a day earlier. Ran has a look through Holmes' notes and realises he is investigating Jack the Ripper, which, as Conan immediately figures out, means the serial killer must be connected to Professor Moriarty.

Finding the criminal mastermind is next to impossible so Conan tells everyone they will have to seek out his right-hand man Colonel Sebastian Moran. Luckily, Colonel Moran spends his afternoons at one and the same gentlemen's club so they know where to go. At the club, they end up in a brawl and Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko have to quit the game. Conan forces the colonel into a stand-off, but before he can reply, an elderly man enters the room and tells Conan that Professor Moriarty has sent for them.

A carriage driver leads them to a carriage and tells them it will bring everyone to Moriarty. Conan exposes the driver's identity: it is nobody other than Professor Moriarty himself. Moriarty reveals that he feels responsible for Jack the Ripper's crimes. He took the boy in when he was living on the streets and Jack the Ripper learned a lot of the tricks of the trade from the master criminal. Professor Moriarty wants to play a part in bringing Jack the Ripper down and announces he will post a message to Jack in the following day's newspapers, requesting him to kill someone. He refuses to name the newest target, saying the children will figure it out once they read his message.

Moriarty keeps his promise and, reading through the message, Conan deduces that Moriarty has put a prize on the head of Irene Adler, a famous actress and, famously, the only woman Sherlock Holmes ever respected.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
[[File:Jack the Ripper game.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The identity of Jack the Ripper revealed by Conan.]]
At the same time, in the real world, Yusaku announces he has solved Kashimura's murder. He explains that Kashimura, his old college friend, didn't just recruit him to help with the Cocoon games, he also wanted Yusaku to investigate the sucide of Hiroki Sawada, Kashimura's son.

Kashimura was killed by '''Thomas Schindler'''. Schindler was also responsible for Hiroki's suicide. Through his research for his DNA program, Hiroki discovered the DNA of Jack the Ripper's confirmed second victim on a dagger that apparently belonged to the notorious serial killer and was now in Schindler's possession. Schindler realised it was only a matter of time before Hiroki would realise Schindler was a direct descendant of Jack the Ripper and pressured Hiroki further, leading to his suicide. He killed Kashimura because he found out Noah's Ark had sent Hiroki's research to Kashimura.

Schindler confesses everything and is arrested by the police.

In the meantime, two more children fail level 5 while protecting Irene Adler. Ai protects Conan and fails the game as well. Out of all fifty players, only Ran, Conan and a boy named Hideki Moroboshi remain. The tree of them follow follow Jack the Ripper to a runaway train from [[Wikipedia: Charing Cross railway station|London Charing Cross]], where he, in disguise, mixes in with the other passengers.

Conan sees through his disguise with the help of the notes taken from Holmes' office. Jack the Ripper throws a smoke bomb to escape when Ran tries to attack him. Once the smoke clears, all the passengers have disappeared. Conan and Hideki hurry to the engine room and realise the train is speeding up dangerously and someone destroyed the brakes. Jack the Ripper has taken Ran hostage and waits for Conan and Hideki on top of the train, revealing he has tied himself to Ran with a rope. Ran decides to sacrifice herself and jumps off the train, taking Jack the Ripper with her.

The train still races down the tracks and Conan starts to panic. Just then, the vagrant, actually a disguised Sherlock Holmes, appears on top of the train and gives Conan and Hideki advice that helps them to survice.

The train crashes into [[Wikipedia: St Pancras railway station|King's Cross Railway Station]].

Conan wins the game and tells Hideki he knows he is an avatar created by Hiroki Sawada/Noah's ark. The Ark explains he actually created this game so he could play with some friends, something Hiroki never could do while he was alive. Hiroki says goodbye to Conan, but before Noah's Ark deletes itself, it announces that it actually knows Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

The game ends and the children are released from Cocoon. Yusaku congratulates Conan on his win.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* This is the last ''Detective Conan'' movie to be made using traditional animation.
* This movie is notable for having a screenplay written by a famous Japanese screenwriter and mystery novelist [[Wikipedia: Hisashi Nozawa|Hisashi Nozawa]]. [[Kazunari Kochi]] had written all previous movies and most of the later movies up until [[Dimensional Sniper]].
* This is the final movie to be dubbed in english by Funimation Entertainment. Dubbing of the movies was reprised in 2019 by Bangzoom!, starting with [[Zero the Enforcer]].
* Thomas Schindler's limousine is a silver Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
* Yusaku Kudo and Professor Agasa's limousine is dark blue Cadillac Fleetwood Limousine.
* The date in London is declared to be September 30, 1888 which is a Sunday, yet Moriarty says that the following day is to be Sunday.
* Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are said to be away on business at Dartmoor in reference to ''The Hound of the Baskervilles'' case, however this case did not take place until a year later in 1889.
* Noah's Ark is a reference to HAL 9000 from 2001: A Space Odyssey, or Ultron from Marvel Comics, who is shown as backing himself up and traveling through the internet to create chaos. It also shares settings with the popular sci-fi horror manga and anime franchise "Gantz" as the cocoon gaming pods are similar to the black orb that is Gantz. Gantz forces people to play against their will for their own survival in it's own sick twisted almost video-game like setting.
* It's also similar to John Kramer/Jigsaw from the Saw movies, despite this movie being released 2 years before the first Saw movie. John Kramer seeks to place his Victims in death traps which can be escaped in order to make people more appreciative of their lives, just as Noah's Ark wishes to reset Japan's youth and prevent the repetition of their parent's mistakes.
* Conan plays [[Wikipedia: Pac-Man|Pac-Man]] in the last scene.
* The gun picked up by Genta at Sherlock Holmes' house is a Tranter 54-bore self-cocking revolver.
* Even though the children are unaware that the parents can hear their voices in the game, Haibara did call Conan "Kudo-kun" during her game over, and no one said anything about it at all.
* The names of the victims are changed (at least in the Funimation dub) likely as to not disrespect the descendants of some of the real life victims of Jack the Ripper, as well as to not exploit the names of those actual victims. In real life, the women who were slain by Jack the Ripper were either part te or full time prostitutes, something that the film omitted likely due to the extreme sexual nature of that being deemed unacceptable in a children's film.

They start bullying her, and as the result, her smile disappered from her face. Currently, Kayoko Kakurai is having a hiatus after that incident.

Unfortunately, Kogoro suddenly asleep because he drank too much beer. Later, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] arrives at home and says that she, [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], and [[Masumi Sera|Sera]] saw Kayoko Kakurai at Beika Park in a van with her manager. Suddenly, Kakurai started to cry. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] then solve the case using Kogoro's voice.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>'''Miho Nishitani''' used a poisoned Guts-man drink to kill Tatsuya Nagai. He had pushed her down a set of stairs in public after she called the cops on him for stalking her. Worrying for her life, she knew a stalker would even want to drink what she did, purchasing a Guts-man drink in advance and putting poison in it. She did purchase another bottle from the machine, but pretended to get it, taking out the poisoned bottle instead and pretending to drink it. She left it behind on a fence for Tatsuya to drink. However, two things were wrong with the plan: a sticker on the bottle containing the poison advertised a contest that was already over, and the machine would not likely still have any left. Secondly, Kogoro found the bottle she actually paid for, but mistook it for a machine error for getting a second bottle for free. Another thing she not expect was that Nagai had made a hidden camera, hidden in his lighter which he used to take pictures of her actually committing the murder in the exact way Conan described.

Miho says that she was too afraid knowing Tatsuya had planned to kill her eventually and the police would not help her so she decided to take matters into her own hands. Sympathetic as Miho is, a self-defense plea will '''not''' count in her case: self-defense can only be invoked if there's no premeditation, and since Miho made a whole plan to kill Nagai, it doesn't apply. However, there ''is'' evidence in Miho's favor: a bag containing an assortment of harmful tools was found by Conan in the bushes outside her home, with Tatsuya's fingerprints. This means, he had been planning on not only killing her but also torturing her in ways too gruesome to imagine. Due to this evidence, Miho will likely receive a light sentence: self-defense may not be technically appliable, but she ''was'' in a desperate enough situation to warrant killing Tatsuya to save herself.

Afterwards, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan discuss the case and how Miho had feared for life so much that she resorted to committing murder. Kogoro comments that had she not killed Tatsuya, they would have been investigating her murder instead. Ran also comments how this could happen to any woman at any time, but Kogoro laughs this off saying no one obsess over her. Insulted, Ran slices off the top of the Guts-man Soda bottle Kogoro is holding with a karate chop, frightening both Conan and Kogoro.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* The names of the characters and places in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Tatsuya Nagai - Cary Mantle
:* Miho Nishitani - Quinly Peartree
:* Guts-man - Shugi Soda
:* Midori Dai, 3rd District - 1774 Perrybolt LN, Polbe District 55478
:* Haido- chou Family Restaurant - Greasy Meat Diner

== Trivia ==
* This episode features the first use of the show's fifth post-credits stinger image, featuring Ran and Conan rushing toward the foreground, with a grim-looking Shinichi in the background.
* This episode was likely inspired by the real life Vending Machine Killer, an unidentified serial killer or killers in Japan who tampered with drinks from vending machines. Around the time of the initial murders, the culprit was targeting vending machines that had no CCTV cameras and tampered with a specific type of energy drink, and the poison used was a pesticide that is lethal in humans and currently has no know treatment or antidote for, and the anime similarly identifies the poison as being a phosphoric acid compound typically used in pesticides. The company in the episode is similarly running a contest, which Conan realizes is a clue to identifying the culprit, and the energy drink targeted in real life was running a "Buy 1 get 1 free" promotion at the time, and since many people were only wanting 1 drink, they would leave the extra bottles in the pickup slot at the vending machine or next to the machine. Given that this was the early to mid 80's, and that compared to western countries like the United States or Canada, Japan has a low crime rate and typically people there wouldn't be as suspicious of a free full bottle by a vending machine, this likely is why there were so many victims. Kogoro even finds an extra bottle in the pickup slot but is cautioned against drinking it by Ran and Conan.

In the Mermaid Curse Murder Case and later in [[opening 50]], [[Shiho Miyano]]'s name shows up in one of the guestbooks logging past contestants for the arrows, as well as Gin and [[Vodka]]'s aliases, Kurosawa Jin (黒澤陣) and Uokka Saburō (魚塚三郎). Actually, Gin's name is only drawn as "Sawa" (澤) in the [[Volume 28#Mermaid's Curse Case|manga]], and only half of "Kuro" (黒) is drawn in the [[And Then There Were No Mermaids|anime episode]] (thus, even if the manga and anime depictions are combined, only the last name Kurosawa is recognizable). The full name Jin Kurosawa was first revealed in an interview with [[Gosho Aoyama]] in [[Interviews#Love Conan Interview|''Love♥Conan: Conan Official Fan Book for Girls'']], published by [[Shogakukan]] on March 1, 2004 in Japan. In addition, some say that these names are derived from the [[Wikipedia: Seven Lucky Gods|Seven Lucky Gods]] and Japanese actors and film directors and Gin's name would derive from an [[Wikipedia:Ateji|ateji]] of "Gin" + [[Wikipedia:Akira Kurosawa|Akira Kurosawa]].

'''{{nihongo|Gin|ジン|Jin}}''' is a member of the [[Black Organization]] and a primary antagonist of the series. He is the organization member who gave [[Shinichi Kudo]] the experimental poison [[APTX 4869]] which turned him into [[Conan Edogawa]].<ref name=Eyes>Manga Chapter 1: The Heisei Holmes</ref> He is frequently paired on missions with [[Vodka]]. In the English manga, he was first introduced as Melkior, but later was reverted to Gin. This is likely due to the fact that Conan is often reminded of the Black Organization by references to alcohol.

== Background ==
Gin is a high-ranking "executive agent", often giving the other members their orders and supervising group missions. He works in the "[[Black Organization#Organization structure and divisions|general oversight division]]" along with [[Vodka]] who is his partner. Despite his high ranking leadership position, he often takes to the field to participate in missions, complete business transactions, and assassinate people. When on missions, he is typically the one giving orders, even to agents who are equally ranked, like Vermouth. Gin seems to be able to communicate freely with the [[The Boss|boss]].

Virtually nothing of Gin's history before the present timeline is known. From the FBI's discussion, he was in a high ranking position, perhaps the same one, two years ago, and his appearance has not changed between then and the current timeline.

Two years ago, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]], who was on a infiltration mission, was promoted to the codename Rye. He was called to work under Gin and a meeting for them was set in a warehouse. The FBI staked out the warehouse hoping to capture Gin as it was believed he could lead them to the boss,<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>

When the tracker placed on the new agent [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]] indicated she was in a warehouse where she shouldn't be, Gin and Vodka went to investigate. At the time she was meeting with her father and fellow CIA agent, [[Ethan Hondou]]. Recognizing that if Gin discovered the situation he would know they were spies, Ethan committed suicide to protect Hidemi by making it look like she had confronted him for being a spy and had killed him. Gin believed the ploy.

== Personality ==
Of the high ranking members of the Black Organization shown, Gin is the most loyal: he follows the boss' orders most closely and virtually never acts against the Organization's greater interests. He is also one of the Black Organization's most dangerous operatives; Conan miscalculating his intelligence, abilities, and speed of response have resulted in several very close calls and awry plans.<ref>Volume 24, Files 7-11, Chapters 238-242</ref><ref name=383p>Volume 38, File 1, Chapter 383: "The New Weapon Gadget"</ref><ref>Volumes 48, Files 9-10, Volume 49, Files 1-4, Chapters 599-504</ref>

[[Image:Gin's murderous eyes.png‎|thumb|left|200px|Gin's murderous eyes.]]
Gin is a merciless and efficient assassin. He has no compunctions about killing or threatening fellow teammates. Fitting his icy personality, Gin's displayed range of emotions so far is relatively limited. Wearing a threatening smirk, he enjoys hunting traitors, watching the plans he has concocted succeed, and cornering his targets. Although he seems to take satisfaction with taking out someone personally, Gin is also satisfied with orchestrating a target's death even if he does not pull the trigger himself.<ref>In the Red Shirt's case while Gin was staking out the Beika department store waiting for Scar Akai to appear, he replies to Kir's remark that "Why don't you [Gin]... just enjoy the fact your nemesis is gone?" with "Yeah, I'm so happy... If he is still alive, I get to kill him again." This shows that Gin considers Akai's death as "his kill" even though it was Kir who pulled the trigger at Raiha pass, and if scar Akai is killed, it will be Chianti or Korn who finishes the job. He is apparently satisfied with the orchestrator role and doesn't feel the need to personally kill Akai himself.</ref> He is not easily frustrated and takes setbacks in good stride, shown when he coolly orders a retreat when Shuichi Akai ambushed the Black Organization and when [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] tricks him and wastes his time by disguising as [[Scar Akai]]. He is patient and cautious, preferring to wait until success is most likely.<ref>He orders Chianti and Korn on several occasions to wait before shooting for better opportunities.</ref> He does not like potential loose ends, preferring to get rid of anything doubtful.<ref>In Volume 49, File 4, Chapter 504, Gin orders for Conan to be shot because he acted suspiciously, even though he was a child.</ref> Gin does not trust anyone and does not fully believe anything he doesn't witness himself.<ref>Manga Chapter 702: The Bomber's Aim</ref>
 Certain individuals elicit more of a response than others from Gin. Gin doesn't seem to enjoy Vermouth's antics; he tried to put an icepick through her head after she disguised herself as a waiter to tease him. Gin finds Bourbon<ref name=703p3>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm"</ref>, who has several shared characteristics with Vermouth<ref name=703p3/>, annoying as well. He has a personal rivalry with Shuichi Akai, and takes interest when the FBI agent gets involved. [[Gin#Sherry|For uncertain reasons]], Gin has an abnormal attachment<ref>[[Conan Drill]] page 239, Gin's feelings towards Shiho on a relationship diagram were listed as "異常な執着": "abnormal attachment"</ref> to Shiho Miyano, so he broke from his normal efficiency-oriented hunting strategy in favor of a more dramatic confrontation with her for his personal enjoyment.

Gin is very skilled in his managerial role; he keeps the boss informed on current happenings, yet is also a decisive and quick acting leader in his own regard. Gin often consults the boss about actions that may have potentially serious ramifications, like getting permission to kill Kogoro, who is popular and closely connected to the police, after Gin found a [[Microphone|listening device]] and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracking device]] on Kir's shoe that he believes were planted by the detective. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion. One such action was deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] at [[Tropical Land]] after Gin caught him spying. Gin is more than willing to take matters into his own hands when he feels another member has endangered the Organization.<ref name=Smart>Manga Chapter 383: The New Weapon</ref> He even once pulled a gun on his own partner, Vodka, when he went against orders and rescheduled a meeting with one of their contacts outside of the organization to an earlier time.<ref name=Smart/>
[[File:Maybe he really did know Conan was in there....PNG|thumb|right|200px|Gin opens the locker Conan is hiding in.]]
Gin's effective leadership is shown in how he manages the diverse personalities of his team on missions. If Gin feels any frustration or scorn regarding the behavior or abilities of any of his teammates, he does not show it unless it is actively interfering with his plans or threatening the Organization. However, that doesn't stop him from being contemptuous about others behind their backs.<ref>Gin disliked Pisco, but did not show it while detailing him about his mission. Gin only complains about Bourbon, Vermouth, and Pisco when they are not around (Bourbon, Vermouth) or their opinion does not matter. (Pisco)</ref> The other members' respect for Gin keeps them in line and coerces them into obeying orders. Only Vermouth has actively objected to Gin's plans on a mission. He also respects the desires of his teammates to a certain degree, even though he may distrust them. Despite his personal suspicions, he let Vermouth persuade him to leave Conan and Kogoro alone, and he decided not to kill anyone at the hospital after [[Rena Mizunashi|Kir]] requested it even though he was unsure of her loyalty.

However, Gin has two notorious weaknesses. He has difficulty remembering the faces and names of those he has killed. Vodka's memory makes up for this somewhat, but Gin notices connections later as a result. As soon as Gin becomes suspicious of someone he gets to work looking into them,<ref>Manga Chapter 700: Dangerous Area</ref> but if his suspicions are proven wrong he tends to lose interest completely.<ref>Vodka's report about "Shinichi" appearing on the Ghost Ship.</ref><ref name=Scar/><ref>Movie 13: [[The Raven Chaser]]</ref> His more conventional logic has also meant he has missed important deductions. This was most notable when Gin decided to stop searching lockers because no adult could fit in them, apparently overlooking that one of the lookouts had mentioned a kid entering the station earlier, although this was mentioned to Vodka, and not to him, and Vodka did not notify him of that fact.

In Black Impact, it might also be suggested that he is quick to jump to conclusions, as seen in a previous episode.

He found a strand of [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]]'s hair in his car, and he immediately convinced himself that [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] is the one that planted the bug, which was planted by Conan in his own car, without any other proof, In Black Impact, he is still convinced that the bug is hers, without trying to deduce where she got it from.

In Black Impact, Conan planted a bug and transmitter outside Rena's apartment, to help with a ding dong dash case. She did hire Kogoro to help solve the case. After that case was resolved, Conan completely forgot about the bug and transmitter completely, and just walked off.

He began remembering it, when it began raining. To make matters more interesting, the rain dislodged them from the wall, and it was immediately stepped on by Rena, and stuck to one of her shoes.

Shortly afterwards, Conan heard the 7 children melody, her talk to Gin, Vodka, Vermouth, Chianti, and Korn, and that her code name is Kir, and managed to stop one assassination attempt before Kir got hurt, and was taken to the Haido Central Hospital.

Shortly afterward, Gin found the bug and transmitter that was stuck on Kir's shoe, and was convinced Kogoro planted it, and he immediately changed their target to [[Kogoro Mouri|Detective Kogoro Mouri]].
Nothing could convince him that it was not planted by Mouri at all, not even when Akai sniped the bug and transmitter, and was sniping at the snipers.

It did not change at all, when Conan managed to kick a soccor ball hard into the Detective Agency window, and asked, "Uncle, how is the horse races going?" Even though they found out that Kogoro was merely listening to the horse races, Gin did give the order to kill Kogoro and the [[Conan Edogawa|little kid]], which thankfully, Akai diverted their attention to him instead.

Akai's plan worked, and they thought that the FBI planted the bug and transmitter, but nothing could convince him that Detective Kogoro Mouri was innocent of any meddlling in their affairs.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Gin2 color page V24-7 closeup.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Gin's manga appearance in color.]]
Gin is a tall, thin man of uncertain age. His most noticeable feature is his long silver hair that goes down to his hips. (In the anime, Gin's hair was light-brown at first, then blond, then finally changed to match the manga as can be seen in the 13th movie: [[The Raven Chaser]].) It is cut at the front into bangs which often obscure his eyes, which are blue (like all the other characters) in the manga, and green in the anime. He has, as Shinichi had put it, the eyes of someone who has easily killed many people without a care.<ref name=Eyes/> In the manga, his face is somewhat gaunt, with visible cheekbones and a triangular dark patch below each eye. Later in the series he receives a scar on his left cheek after a bullet from Shuichi Akai's rifle grazes him.<ref name=Scar>Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref>

Gin's look has never changed in all of his appearances. He wears a black fedora with a grey or white hatband. His only shown outfit is a knee length, notched lapel, black trenchcoat with the collar upturned to obscure part of his face and a loose white turtleneck underneath. He likely also wears a ballistic vest beneath these. He wears black trousers and black dress shoes. When trying to avoid leaving fingerprints, he dons a pair of white gloves, black in the anime.

Gin is a heavy smoker. He is also left handed.

== Abilities ==
=== Intelligence and instinct ===
Gin is quite perceptive and intelligent.<ref name=Smart/>. He can smell out traps his partner Vodka easily falls for. Gin is also good at deduction. He correctly infers the FBI plan to move the captured Organization member Kir, and also explains to Vodka the biological principles behind why an old man with severe heart conditions wouldn't go to a cold cabin in the dead of winter. Unlike most intelligent characters in the series, Gin also relies on his good instinct. A few times so far, he correctly suspects there is more to a situation than the evidence alone indicates. He correctly suspects that Kogoro (really Conan) was not completely innocent<ref>Volumes 48, Files 9-10, Volume 49, Files 1-4, Chapters 599-504</ref> and that getting Kir back from the FBI was too easy. At one point while searching for the "clever fox" who set them up, Gin begins opening child size lockers on a whim. He just stops at the one Conan was hiding in and chides himself for doing so because there was no way an adult could hide in those lockers.<ref>Volume 38, File 1, Chapter 383</ref> By the close of the Bourbon arc, he is aware [[Conan Edogawa|someone]] is investigating the organization and that there are likely spies within it, thus a purge is justified.

=== Stamina ===
Gin seems to have undergone serious physical training, giving him incredible stamina and a high pain tolerance, as shown when he remained conscious after being hit by Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|stun-gun wristwatch]] and then shot himself in the arm to regain full consciousness in Episode 178. He then climbed down and back up a chimney despite the shot in the arm.<ref>Manga Chapter 242: A White World</ref> In Episode 425, he was able to flee with internal injuries bad enough to cause him to bleed from the mouth when Akai put two rifle rounds in his ballistic vest.

=== Firearms ===
==== Handguns ====
Gin is skilled with handguns. He prefers a Beretta 92.

=== Sniping ===
Gin is a skilled sniper, handling Korn's rifle to locate [[Shuichi Akai]] who is 700 yards away, center him in the scope, and steadily aim at him while standing up.<ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref> In Volume 100, he shot Mark, an FBI Agent in a moving car, through the leg. His skills are also shown in non-canon, as in [[Countdown to Heaven]], Gin attempts to snipe [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], mistaking her for Sherry.<ref>Movie 5: Countdown to Heaven</ref>

=== Pain tolerance ===
After he was shot with Conan's tranquilizer dart, he shot himself in the exact spot in order to negate the effects, and did not fall unconscious at all.

== Plot overview ==
==== Shinichi and APTX 4869 (Manga: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ====
[[File:EP1 26.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi Kudo is forced to ingest the poison APTX 4869.]]
In his first appearance in the series, Gin goes to [[Tropical Land]] with Vodka to complete a transaction with [[Black organization#Unnamed Weapons Smuggler|a company owner]] they were blackmailing for gun smuggling. The two board the Mystery Coaster before the meeting to observe from the pinnacle of the coaster if the business man had come alone to the meeting spot below the ferris wheel. A murder occurs on the coaster and the two are forced to remain at the scene as suspects, although Gin yells at [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] several times to hurry up and let them go. Shinichi observes that Gin has the appearance and air of a cold-blooded killer. They are released after Shinichi apprehends the true killer. His and Vodka's suspicious appearance cause Shinichi to follow them and encounter them completing the transaction with the businessman. Gin, who seems to have been keeping watch, knocks down Shinichi with a pipe he found, then force-feeds him [[APTX 4869]]. His parting words to Shinichi are "So long, great detective."

==== Murder of Akemi Miyano (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|16]], Anime: [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|13]]&[[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]]) ====
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|150px|Gin converses with Akemi just before he murders her.]]
Before the current storyline, undercover [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] dated [[Akemi Miyano]], the older sister of [[Shiho Miyano]], in order to infiltrate the Organization. Akai's true allegiance was discovered and he was expelled from the organization. Initially, the Organization couldn't do anything about Akemi because they needed the loyalty of her sister Shiho Miyano, who very valuable as a researcher on the APTX 4869 project.

Two years later the Organization decided that the risk of her contact with Akai was too much. They decided to create a situation where they could eliminate her by having her do a bank heist she was supposed to fail, and Gin was put in charge of making a deal with her. Akemi Miyano was told that the only way that she and [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] would be allowed to leave the Black Organization was to successfully pull off a 10 billion yen bank robbery. After succesfully completing the robbery and tricking her into accidentally poisoning one of her team members, she confronts Gin at the shipping yard to complete the transaction. She tries to tell Gin to hold up his end of the bargain, but he tells her the Organization wouldn't let her sister leave anyway because she was too valuable. He then kills Akemi and flees.

==== Bullet Train Case (Manga: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|33]], Anime: [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|5]]) ====
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Gin and Vodka appear on the Shinkansen in the manga.]]
Gin and Vodka are tasked with eliminating a former business parter who had become useless by tricking her into making a transaction with them involving what she thinks is information about 400 million yen worth of gold. Their plan is set aboard a [[Wikipedia: Shinkansen|Shinkansen]]. During a meeting in the dining car, Gin and Vodka will receive a large case of money from the client who will be given a black attaché containing what she believes is the gold information. However, the case actually contains a bomb rigged to explode when she calls a certain number on her mobile phone.

Conan almost walks into Gin's legs when Gin and Vodka board the Shinkansen. Vodka yells at Conan, and Gin glares coldly, but neither recognize him. It is much later revealed Gin is particularly bad at remembering the faces of those he killed. They sit down nearby with their black attaché case. When they leave to go to the dining car and make the transaction, Conan bugs their seats. After they return with the suitcase full of the client's money, Conan overhears Gin explain to Vodka the details of the bombing plan. Conan is also able to learn Gin and Vodka's codenames. Gin and Vodka disembark at Nagoya to avoid being caught in the explosion, and Conan is stopped from chasing them by Ran. Conan then turns his attention to finding the bomb and successfully ejects the black case from the train before it explodes. Unfortunately, the client knows little about Gin and Vodka or their Organization so the police are unable to do anything.

==== Game Company Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]]) ====
[[Tequila]] calls Vodka and tells him to inform Gin that the briefcase exchange for the list of world's best programmers was successful. Gin does not show up in person in this case.

==== Sherry's Escape (Manga: [[Volume 18#Missing Older Brother Case|177]], [[Volume 19#Murdered Professor Case|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ====
Gin and Vodka were supposed to kill Sherry because she stopped all work on the APTX project to boycott the Organization's reticence about Akemi Miyano's death. Gin and Vodka pull Shiho from her lab and handcuff her to a pipe in a small locked room to await the Organization's judgment. At this time, Sherry takes the Apoptoxin 4869 she had hidden to commit suicide, but instead she shrinks and escapes through a rubbish chute. When Gin and Vodka return, she isn't there. They and many other members of the Organization are ordered to find her, but he and Vodka have no luck. Gin in particular is shown to have an obsession with capturing Sherry and killing her himself.

==== Haido City Hotel (Manga: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|238-242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|176-178]]) ====
One day, Conan and Haibara saw Gin's car on a street. They attached a transmitter to it only some seconds before he arrived there. After a while, Gin found an auburn hair in the car and he deduced it was Shiho's. He also found the transmitter and destroyed it, after that is the famous moment when he imagines Shiho naked.
However, Conan and Haibara knew he was going to go to the Haido Hotel, so they followed him too. There, Pisco kidnapped Haibara and took her to a room with a big fireplace. When Gin and Vodka arrived at the room, she (with her adult body because of the Baikal) was hidden in the fireplace. Gin heard her breathing, and intercepted Haibara at the roof when she tried to flee, shooting her many times. When he was ready to kill her, Conan arrived and shot a sleeping dart at Gin. However, he showed a resistance to it, not falling asleep instantly, and shot himself in the arm so that he could stay conscious. After that, he climbed down the chimney, killed Pisco and climbed back up. He returned to his car with Vodka and Vermouth and conversed about Sherry or Shiho. In this chapter, it is hinted that he knows Shiho very well, predicting her movements and being able to confidently identify her by just a hair she left in his car.

==== Prior to the Bus Hijacking (Manga: [[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|287]], Anime: [[The Mysterious Passenger|230]]) ====
Gin and Vodka are in a bar discussing plans to capture Sherry with Vermouth. Meanwhile, the detective boys and Conan are taking a bus to a ski resort and meet Araide and Jodie on the bus. Haibara senses that Vermouth is on that bus and hides to prevent herself from getting caught. Soon after, the bus gets hijacked by two armed men who use the passengers as hostages and demand the city to release their boss. Conan attempts to search for a way to apprehend the men, investigating their bags and realizing that they contain explosives.

[[File:EP 311 Gun does not contain roses.png|thumb|left|200px|Gin threatens Vodka after he changed the meeting time.]]
[[File:Heat Checking.png|thumb|right|200px|Gin can tell the CD was planted very recently.]]
Once arriving at their destination point, Conan reveals that the two people are the jewelry robbers. Conan reveals that they hijacked a car as evidenced by the man's inability to handle the foreign car and how coins were found in the ashtray yet the man is a smoker. Conan apprehends the two culprits and proceeds to the subway. Once there Conan places the CD containing the program the Black Organization wants and places it in a coin locker with a check sticking out of the prearranged locker. Vodka arrives and takes the CD but is stopped by Gin who revealed that there is tape on the CD which means that someone was trying to get his fingerprint. Gin finds a tracker device. He places his hand on the case to find out its warm meaning the one who set up the disk is nearby. Conan manages to hide in a coin locker and passes out due to the lack of oxygen; He is found by Haibara the next day.

==== Vermouth's Unmasking (Manga: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|429, 434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ====
Gin has been ordered by the boss to look into Vermouth's movements related to a Halloween party aboard a ship and tells Vodka to board in costume and investigate. Gin has no idea what Vermouth is doing but tells Vodka to kill her if she does anything weird even if she is the boss’s favorite. Aboard the ship, a man blackmailed by Vermouth kills the ship's captain, and the murder is solved by [[Heiji Hattori]] in disguise as Shinichi Kudo. Vodka initially reports Shinichi's presence to Gin, but then corrects the information when Heiji takes off the Shinichi disguise and states that he was hoping that appearing as Shinichi would lure the real guy out.

The murderer then begins shouting that someone named Vermouth forced him to murder the captain. Vodka presumably reports this development to Gin who reports to the boss because Vermouth later receives a message from the boss ordering her back. Vermouth, who was never aboard the ship in the first place, is badly injured by [[Shuichi Akai]] and a self-inflicted gunshot and calls Gin from a telephone booth for pickup because she can't move. While on the phone, Gin asks her if she knows someone named Shinichi Kudo and she lies, saying she doesn't know him.

==== Black Impact (Manga: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|500]][[Volume 49#Black Organization vs FBI|-504]], Anime: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|425]]) ====
[[File:Gin's scope sniped.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shuichi Akai shoots Gin's scope out and grazes his cheek. The wound will eventually scar and is seen in all of Gin's later appearances.]]
Gin coordinates the assassination of Domon Yasuteru. His first plan, is to get Domon interviewed using Kir, have him sit down on a bench, where [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to kill him. His backup plan; which consisted of Vermouth in disguise crashing in front of Domon's car, after which Kir, Chianti, and Korn would kill Domon and his two bodyguards, was canceled when he discovered the transmitter Conan set up. Gin assumes the transmitter was set up by Kogoro, and gets permission from the boss to kill him. However, the assassination of Kogoro is interrupted by Conan whose soccer ball breaks Mouri's window, distracting Chianti and Korn who were taking aim. Over the protests of Vermouth, Gin orders the two snipers to kill Conan as well for, as Vodka says, being suspicious. This too is interrupted when Shuichi Akai snipes the transmitter out from between Gin's fingers from 700 yards away. A brief exchange of gunfire ensues but ends quickly after Akai shoots out Gin's scope and puts two bullets in his flak jacket and one in his cheek, leaving a small permanent scar on his face. Gin recognizes the disadvantage and orders the Black Organization members to disperse without taking any more action against Conan or Kogoro. Gin and the other operatives assume the transmitter was set up by the FBI, but still has residual suspicions about Kogoro. Gin eventually decides not to kill Kogoro at the word of Vermouth.

==== The Search for Kir (Manga: [[Volume 53#Mysterious Job Case|553,]] [[Volume 54#Mysterious Job Case|555]], Anime: [[The Shadow of the Black Organization|464-465]]) ====
In an attempt to locate Kir's whereabouts throughout the city, Gin is convinced that Kir is captured by the FBI. Chianti wonders if Kir could betray the organization, but Gin dismisses the idea, saying there's no chance of that happening. He recalls an incident from the past when Kir discovered a traitor within the organization. Although she was caught by them and supposedly tortured, she never revealed any information. Gin also remembers the traitor's name being [[Ethan Hondou|Hondou]].

Gin, suspicious of how easy it was to recapture Kir from the FBI, orders Kir to kill Akai to prove her loyalty. He tells her to call Akai and lure him out by telling him that she wants to leave the organization and that she will give him information about the organization if he helps her. He tells her that he will be watching the whole assassination by planting a bug and microphone on Kir so that she can't do anything suspicious. Gin watches as Kir shoots Akai twice, one in the lung and one in the forehead, and believes that Akai is dead and that Kir is on their side.

Before Gin orders Chianti to shoot Scar Akai, Vermouth appears and speaks with Gin about a plan she received the boss' authorization for. Scar Akai notices Chianti taking aim at him and smirks, which makes her lose her aim and allows Scar Akai to disappear into the crowd. Gin lowers the gun from Kir's head and decides to drop the assassination attempt, commenting how Bourbon likes to do what he pleases.

After finding out from Vermouth that Sherry was going to board the Bell Tree Express train, Gin and Vodka organized an effort to place enough explosives at the train's destination station to blow up the entire train. Meanwhile, Vermouth and [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] boarded the train with a separate plan in mind to catch Sherry. When Vodka wondered how Vermouth and Bourbon were going to get off the train before it arrived at the station, Gin revealed that he didn't know or care about their fates. Vermouth's attempted assassination of Sherry wound up stopping the train before it arrived at the destination station, rendering Gin's plan moot. Gin asked for confirmation that Sherry was killed, which Vermouth endorsed only to find out soon after that she had been tricked. Because Vermouth kept this deception secret, Gin believes Shiho to be dead.

As they retreat, Gin notices a fire burning in Umizarujima, realizing that Camel swam to the island to hide. They arrive at Umizarujima and split up to search for Camel. After a skirmish, Conan and Akai were able to fool the Black Organization into thinking that they successfully eliminated Camel. After that, Vermouth shows Camel's photo to Korn and he remembers that Camel is the person from the photo that Rum sent to him 2 years ago.

=== Differences in the anime ===
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
==== The Shinkansen's Bomb Case ([[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|Anime 5]]) ====
In the manga, this case occurred after [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin and Vodka are replaced with unrelated criminals who look and dress very similarly. The replacement of Gin and Vodka created a continuity error because the episode omitted how Conan learned their codenames, which was important to identifying Tequila as a member of the Black Organization in the [[Game Company Murder Case]].

==== The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case ([[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|Anime 13]]) ====
In the manga, this case occurred before [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin was replaced by a similar looking man with glasses who shot but did not kill Akemi Miyano. This created a rather large continuity error.<ref>Akemi's participation in the robbery was a deal she made with the Black Organization stipulating that if she successfully stole the money, she and her sister would be freed. However, the Organization had intended for her to fail so they could kill her for having a relationship with the FBI infiltrator Shuichi Akai. Although Akemi was successful, Gin killed her anyway. Her death, which the Black Organization refused to explain, was part of the motive that led to Sherry betraying the Organization.</ref> The continuity error was corrected in [[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|episode 128]]. Other information that wound up being delayed included Gin revealing that Akemi had a scientist sister who was valuable to the Organization, and that he was left handed based on how he held his handgun.

==== The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case ([[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|Anime 128]]) ====
This case corrected a continuity error created in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]] by having Gin kill Akemi. Akemi Miyano under the alias "Masami Hirota" and two other robbers successfully steal 10 billion yen. A mask with forged lipstick mark is left behind with the empty getaway vehicle by an unknown party to implicate Hirota. Later that night, Gin and Vodka assassinate the two other bank robbers and place Hirota's lipstick at the crime scene. After realizing she was set up my someone, Conan sneaks into Hirota's apartment and attempts to stop her from meeting the assailants. Ignoring Conan's warning, Hirota heads to an empty warehouse and meets Gin who reveals her true identity to be Akemi Miyano. She asks him to release her sister in exchange for the 10 billion yen. Gin however murders her and takes the keys to a coin locker containing the money from the robbery. Akemi then reveals to Conan the existence of the Black Organization, and the location that she hid the stolen money before dying.

=== Movie Appearances ===
==== [[Countdown to Heaven]] ====
Initially, Gin is involved in the plot because he is to eliminate a traitor in the Organization. Later though, he finds out that Sherry was attending a party at the Twin Tower Buildings, the targeted location, and decides to kill two birds with one stone. He shoots at Sonoko, who got her hair permed and looks a lot like Sherry, but he realizes that it wasn't her after all after Conan gets Sonoko to dodge the bullet and she starts panicking in a very uncomposed manner. He leaves the towers in the end, looking forward to killing Sherry the next time he sees her.

==== [[The Raven Chaser]] ====
In the beginning, during Conan's dream, Gin appears and is shown to know Conan's true identity. Later, in reality, Gin is looking for a memory card that contains information crucial to the Organization. His next appearance is during the climax of the movie. He, Vodka, Chianti, and Korn arrive at the top of Tokyo Tower in a black helicopter. Gin calls Irish and tells him to hold out the computer chip, then orders Chianti to kill Irish and destroy the chip in one shot. He spots someone (Conan) trying to hide and orders Vodka to start using the machine gun that was built into the helicopter. After Conan catapults the broken light into the back of the helicopter and Vodka is trying to get it back in control, he wonders who could have done so much damage to the Organization and leaves the scene.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== The Boss ====
The [[The Boss|boss]] trusts Gin enough to make him an executive agent in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking BO members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the Organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. He has his boss ear which make him a made-man, anything he want to handling the operatings that against the interests of the organization, such as change the assasination plan from Domon to Kogoro, because his wanting to deal with Sherry and set up a lot of bombs in station containing police officers. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
Gin is [[Vodka]]'s superior and they frequently work together, or are seen communicating with one another by phone. Vodka shows Gin absolute respect, using honorifics<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> while speaking with Gin rather than simply using his codename like other agents do. Gin in turn values Vodka for his obedience, so Gin occasionally orders Vodka to go on missions where he needs objective observation or that are annoying.<ref>Both of these were requirements in the Halloween Showdown. Gin and the boss needed a clear idea of what Vermouth was doing so Gin sent Vodka because he could trust him. The mission also required Vodka to dress up in a monster costume, something most other agents, Vodka included, would not have liked to do.</ref> Gin views and treats Vodka as an "inexperienced little brother".<ref name=CD239a>Conan drill page 239: 出来の悪い弟分</ref> Despite this, Gin does not truly trust anyone, including Vodka, and interrogated Vodka about his actions at gunpoint before. Although Vodka is slower than Gin and frequently jumps to incorrect conclusions, Gin patiently explains his deductions to Vodka creating a sort of Sherlock Holmes and Watson dynamic between the two. Vodka covers for Gin's weakness of not remembering the names or faces of those he has killed.

==== Sherry ====
[[Image:Gin imagines Sherry naked.png|thumb|right|200px|Gin imagines Shiho Miyano naked.]]
{{Main|Gin and Sherry}}
Gin has an abnormal attachment for [[Shiho Miyano]]<ref name=CD239/> and seems to enjoy hunting for her, while she seems to fear and hate him. They appear to know each other well despite being in different parts of the Organization. Gin can identify Shiho from a single auburn hair. [[Episode 129|When Shiho escaped from the Black Organization]], Gin began searching for her, ordering Vodka to bring her back dead or alive. Gin and Shiho had [[Reunion with the Black Organization|a direct confrontation]] later in the [[Setting#Haido City Hotel|Haido City Hotel]]. Since then, Shiho has managed to avoid any more direct contact with Gin.

The theory that the two may have had a relationship in the past has been mentioned in at least one official guidebook for the manga<ref name=CD239/> and has some traction in the fandom. [[Gosho Aoyama]] has deferred questions related to the issue in past interviews, asking for fans to be patient.<ref>青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013 [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/?p=287218]

Q: A girl asked about the "Sherry naked" thing, that why does Gin always think about her without clothes, what exactly is their relationship?

A: Gosho answered that they indeed had a relationship, but it wouldn't be interesting if (he) revealed it there, so please wait for it. The poster also mentioned that Gosho had a trolling (or something like that) laugh/smile at the time.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
{{Main|Gin and Vermouth}}
[[File:Ep704-14.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Gin hates Vermouth's treacherous personality.]]
Gin and [[Vermouth]] have rather different personalities. They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Gin and Vermouth mostly trusted one another<ref name=CD239/>, but Gin's trust seems to have eroded as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her activities and intentions on several occasions and also possibly are or were in a romantic relationship with one another, this was hinted in [[Episode 230]] when Vermouth asked Gin if they could make a martini tonight, noting that a martini is a mix of Vermouth and Gin.<ref name=CD239>[[:File:ConanDrill239.jpg|Conan drill page 239]]</ref>. At one point, Gin told Vodka to kill her if he noted her doing anything suspicious, and he didn't particularly care about how she would escape a train heading towards a station packed with explosives.

==== Tequila ====
Although [[Tequila]] is a subordinate of Gin's, he doesn't use honorifics like Vodka does<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> to refer to Gin, giving the impression Tequila and Gin appear equally ranked.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Pisco ====
Although [[Pisco]] and Gin are executive members and Pisco is Gin's senior, Gin dislikes and looks down on him.<ref name=CD239/> He does not show emotion when he kills him in the burning hotel.

==== Irish ====
It seems as though Gin did't really care about Irish, leading to his death in the Raven Chaser.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Shuichi Akai ====
{{Main|Gin and Shuichi Akai}}
Gin and [[Shuichi Akai]] are rivals and enemies.

== Name origin ==
Gin comes from the [[Wikipedia: Gin|hard liquor]] which is known for its juniper berry flavor. It follows the Black Organization codename pattern of hard liquor codenames for men. The codename is probably also a pun on Gin's hair color. Gin pronounced with a hard "g" like "gun" in Japanese (ぎん ''Gin'') means "silver" (銀). This pun was used by a victim to implicate Gin as his killer in [[Countdown to Heaven]].

Gin's English name, Melkior, is the name of one of the Magi, or three kings, who visits the infant Jesus in Christian tradition. The name is Semitic and means 'king city.' Gin's English name was later switched to Gin to follow the Japanese.

== Trivia ==
[[Image:Gin's Porsche.png|thumb|right|200px|Gin's Porsche.]]
* Gin is left handed.<ref name=304p16>Manga Volume 30, File 9, pg 16: "Genta's Trap"</ref>
* Gin can't seem to remember faces he encounters or kills, which explains that he doesn't remember Shinichi.
:* In the anime, although Gin doesn't recognize the name Shinichi Kudo when Vodka mentions it in episode 345, he knows who he is immediately in episode 1 stating: "Sure didn't want him around". Gin shows no recognition of Shinichi in the corresponding manga scene; only Vodka seems to have heard of the high school detective.
* His favorite car is his [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Porsche 356 A|Porsche 356 A]], which he refers to as "German black rain frog". Notably, the car's registration is A 48-69, the same numbers that are used in APTX-4869. In episodes after the reunion with Sherry, the plate is changed to MI 43-68.
* Gin's design has drastically been changed throughout the anime. At first, his hair is actually light brown, and the line structure is not as detailed. In addition, part of his hair comes down his face across his nose. As the series progresses Gin's hair is blond, and the line structure is strongly detailed. Moreover, there is no hair that comes down across his face anymore. Gin's hair color changes once again in Opening 24 where it is then silver to match his manga depiction.
* One glare from Gin can end an argument before it even starts. In episode 176, Gin and Vodka were jaywalking and a man from vehicle that had been forced to stop sharply was preparing to yell at them. Gin looks at him harshly, and the man fearfully shrinks back into his car. In some regions, it is believed that the people with green eyes can bestow the evil eye, intentionally or unintentionally.
* In episode 425, Gin took Korn's rifle to locate Shuichi Akai who was on a building that is 700 yards. At that moment Akai shot at Gin and the bullet was very visible on Gin's reticule. Gin managed to move his head in time to mostly dodge the bullet.
* The name "Gin" (銀) is also known as "Silver" in Japanese, which is also the color of Gin's hair, a point that is noted in Countdown to Heaven.
* While Troy Baker voiced Gin in the Funimation dub, the new English dub has DC Douglas as the voice of Gin, who is most famous for his portrayal of Albert Wesker in the Resident Evil games.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Professor Agasa takes the Detective Boys camping. It is a beautiful day and they enjoy a view of Mt. Fuji as well as the newly built Nishitamashi Twin Towers, the now tallest buildings in Japan. Mitsuhiko asks Agasa if they can have a look at the towers on their way back and Agasa agrees. They set up camp and Agasa and Ai prepare rice and curry for everyone. Genta chastises Mitsuhiko for not finishing his rice, saying "there will be consequences from the gods, that's what my parents always say".

[[File:M5-8.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ai phoning someone enigmatically amidst nighttime.]]
[[File:M5-5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Twin Towers of Nishitamashi.]]

At night, everyone sleeps soundly in their tents when Genta wakes up because he has to go to the bathroom. On his way back, he spots Ai in a phone booth. He doesn't think there is anything suspicious about it and runs back to the tent because he feels cold. Ai talks to an unknown person on the phone and says she will go to the Twin Towers and "he" will join her as well. Somewhere else, at the same time, Gin and Vodka finish a phone call in their Porsche 356 A, though it isn't clear if they were talking to Ai. Gin says they are going to the Nishitamashi towers the following day.

In the afternoon, the Detective Boys and Agasa return to Tokyo. Genta complains that his seatbelt is a bit tight and Mitsuhiko replies that that isn't any surprise, after all Genta ate five bowls of rice at breakfast. To pass the time, Mitsuhiko suggests playing the 30 seconds-game. Players have to count down to 30 seconds without looking at a timer and whoever is closest, wins. Ai and Agasa sit the game out. Mitsuhiko goes first and gets 40 seconds, Conan does a bit better, stopping at 27 seconds, Genta gets all the way up to 59 seconds and Ayumi manages a perfect 30 seconds. Genta then asks Ai who she was talking to on the phone the previous night and Ai replies that he must have imagined that. They park in front of the towers, where, to their great surprise, Sonoko, Ran and Kogoro join them, having taken a taxi. Everyone decides to go to the towers together and Kogoro explains that he was invited by the owner of the building, his old college friend Mio Tokiwa. Chinami Sakaguchi, Mio's secretary, greets her guests in front of the towers and explains she is going to take them on a tour of the buildings. She says the Tokiwa Corporation uses all of the floors above the 31st floor and that she will first take them to the Tokiwa showroom on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Mitsuhiko tells Ayumi that Tokiwa specialises in software but deals with everything concerning computers. Yoshiaki Hara, an executive and programmer for Tokiwa, meets them in front of the showroom and presents his newest invention - a machine that can predict what someone will look like in ten years. Ayumi and Agasa try it out first. Agasa looks exactly the same but everyone is stunned by Ayumi's pretty appearance. Genta and Mitsuhiko try the machine out next and aren't sure what to make of their appearance as 17-year olds. Sonoko and Ran decide to give it a go. Sonoko is disappointed, declaring she looks old, but Ran, Kogoro - and quite obviously Conan, who tries to remain inconspicuous - are impressed by Ran's photo, Kogoro says she reminds him of Eri. Mitsuhiko and Ayumi wonder about Conan's strange reaction.

[[File:M5-15.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi's predicted look in ten years.]]

Conan and Ai refuse to participate for obvious reasons, fearing they will be exposed by the machine. Kogoro forces Conan to sit down and have his photo taken and Mitsuhiko and Genta pressure Ai to sit down as well. The machine takes a photo of them but then shows an error message, keeping Conan and Ai safe.

Sawaguchi's phone rings and she tells her guests to follow her to the 75th floor where everything is being prepared for the grand opening party of the towers. As they go to the elevator, Sawaguchi accidentally treads on Kogoro's toes and apologises, embarassed. Hara jokes it isn't a surprise that Sawaguchi is clumsy, she was born in the Chinese year of the Boar after all. Sawaguchi gets everyone into the VIP elevator which instantly accesses any floor of the building. She explains that the VIP elevator can only be entered on this floor and the 66th floor where there is a concert hall. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko admire the view as the elevator takes them up and say it feels like going straight to heaven. The reception room on the 75th floor is in a complete mess while everything is being set up for the party. Mio Tokiwa comes to join her guests as they get out of the elevator and introduces them to some other VIP guests: Hosui Kisaragi, a painter who specialises in the traditional Japanese ways of painting, Iwamatsu Oki, a council member in Nishitamashi who supported the building of the towers and Hidehiko Kazama, the architect who designed the buildings. Kazama explains that he studied under Teiji Moriya, which instantly alarms Conan and Kogoro but Kazama assures them that he doesn't plan on blowing his creations up at all. Conan points out Moriya wouldn't have approved of the towers because they are assymetrical. Kazama says this was intentional. One side of the tower they are in right now offers a perfect view of Mount Fuji, on the other side you can see tower B which is a commercial building with a hotel on the top floors. The hotel has a rooftop pool with a retractable roof.

[[File:M5-20.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hara offers chocolates hospitably.]]

Oki, who is already quite drunk, asks Mio if he can't spend the night in the hotel and she arranges for him to stay in a suite on the 67th floor on tower B. Oki thanks her and says he wants to take her out for dinner, before noticing Mio's unusual brooch. She replies she got it as a gift. Kisaragi abruptly decides he has to leave. Kazama explains that the painter feels insulted by the way Mio treats his art. She buys his paintings and sells them for a profit without appreciating him as an artist. Hara hands chocolates to Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko and invites them to his house to test a new game he created. He tells the Detective Boys to visit him the following Sunday. Ai decides to leave and Mitsuhiko approaches Ran in private and says he needs Ran's help. Ayumi also asks to speak to Ran in private. in the meantime, Sonoko still studies her photo when Ai walks past, wondering if she should get a perm. Two Tokiwa employees get out of the VIP elevator and discuss a "luxury car" that just parked in front of the towers. They say it is a Porsche 356A which alarms Conan immensely. He asks the employees to describe the car to him and is shocked when their descriptions match the car used by Gin. Conan hurries to the elevator and keeps an eye on the car as he goes down. The Porsche drives off as soon as he gets out of the building.

The next day Mitsuhiko meets up with Ran at a fast food restaurant and asks for Ran's help. He says he has a crush on Ayumi but it is obvious that Ayumi prefers Conan. He is also confused because he feels like he is developing feelings for Ai and wonders if he's a bad person for liking two girls. Ran says there is no need for him to be ashamed and that he should treasure those feelings but stay friends with both girls. Later, Ayumi meets Ran at a donut shop and confesses that she has a crush on Conan. She worries Conan has a crush on Ran as well. Ran doesn't believe that but Ayumi insists, saying she watched Conan and "female intuition" told her Conan has feelings for Ran. Ran is amused how serious the children take all of this. During same night, Ran calls Shinichi and they discuss Conan having feelings for her. Shinichi laughs Ran's suggestion off. Meanwhile, an intruder breaks into Oki's room in the hotel on the 67th floor of tower B, pulls out a knife, backs Oki into a corner and fatally stabs the politician with his knife before he escapes.

[[File:M5-suspects.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The case suspects.]]

As they were among the last people to see Oki alive, Inspector Megure calls everyone to police headquarters to inform them of Oki's death and question their alibis. Chiba reports that Oki died between 10 o'clock and midnight and that they found a sake cup broken in half at the crime scene. Megure says he has two theories about the cup's meaning. Either it fell out of Oki's pocket or it was a message left by either the murderer or the victim. Shiratori says the police have five main subjects. Because the building isn't open to the public, only Tokiwa, Hara, Kisaragi, Sawaguchi and Kazama could have entered Oki's room and committed the crime. Kogoro puts a theory forward - "choko" (sake cup) could refer to "chocolate" and point to Hara who is known for loving chocolate. Megure informs Kogoro that Hara is the only one among the suspects who has an alibi. The police don't really have a valid motive yet but wonder if Oki's death had something to do with the towers themselves. Oki was an influential politician who made the city government give up their opposition to the building project.

Conan asks if the sake cup couldn't refer to Mio Tokiwa because her brooch looks like it. Kogoro angrily objects but Megure says she is actually the current main suspect since she was staying on the 68th floor of tower B, making her closest to the victim.
Sonoko says the sake cup reminds her of the bowl used to mix powder in traditional Japanese painting.
They realise it could point to almost every one of the subjects except Kazama and Sawaguchi. Conan tells the police officers that he heard Kazama studied under Teiji Moriya but Shiratori replies that that doesn't make him suspicious as Kazama is nowhere near as much a perfectionist as Moriya was. Megure adds that Sawaguchi maybe had a motive for killing Oki as well. Her father was an investigative journalist who was looking into Oki when he suddenly died from exhaustion. Sawaguchi was in her last year at university when she lost her father. However, there is no evidence that ties Oki to Mr. Sawaguchi's death.

Conan sneaks another look at the photo of the victim hidden in Megure's notebook and notices that blood is suspiciously missing from a place where it should be. Ai looks at the photo with him and says she has noticed the same. Conan quietly tells her he worries the sake cup could point to the Black Organization but Ai calms him, saying they would never leave such an obvious message.

[[File:M5-28.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Detective Boys' investigation.]]

Out of the corner of his eye, Conan sees Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi having a quiet discussion and apparently agreeing on something. The three friends meet up at Beika Station to get ahead of Conan in their investigation, but Conan sneaks up on them, surprising them and makes them promise never to do anything this dangerous again, after all they could meet a murderer. Genta explains he asked Ai to join them - she declined, saying she had housework to do. Actually, Ai spends the afternoon by herself and watches a gangster movie in the cinema, which reminds her a lot of herself now she left the organization after her older sister's death, because there is a scene where a man betrayed the gang and was killed by them while escaping along with his beloved younger sister.

Mitsuhiko explains their plans to Conan. They are on their way to Kazama's house and plan to visit Hara the following day. Mitsuhiko says they also found out Kisaragi lives in a house he had built in Asahino, in walking distance from Kazama, and that he moved there three years ago.

Upon arrival at Asahino station, the Detective Boys first go to visit Kazama. Conan is impressed by the CAD system the architect uses to digitally design his buildings and models. Mitsuhiko starts questioning Kazama on Oki's death. He says he had no reason to be angry at the politician and was actually quite grateful for his support in the twin towers project and thanked Oki for it. Kazama also tells them about his son and that he has to call his family now. Conan realises Kazama can't be the murderer as he was completely relaxed around them.

[[File:M5-75.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|Meeting with the painter Kisaragi.]]

Kisaragi is working on a painting of Mount Fuji when the Detective Boys knock on his door. He is originally furious with them for disturbing him in the middle of his work. Conan notices Kisaragi has the blinds drawn even though his house overlooks Mount Fuji perfectly. Kisaragi draws caricatures of all the Detective Boys, hands them to the kids with a grin and shoos them away.

That night, Professor Agasa wakes up from his own loud snoring. He gets up to have a glass of water and overhears Ai speaking to someone on the phone. The following morning, he calls Conan and says Genta told him something similar had happened during their recent camping trip. Agasa fears the organization has lured Ai back in, but Conan tells the professor to trust her. Conan puts the phone down and meets up with the rest of the Detective Boys to visit Hara. Hara's doors are not fully closed, making Conan instantly suspicious. He takes his shoes off, sneaks into the apartment and they find Hara dead on the floor of his living room.

Hara has a single wound in his chest that could come from a gunshot. Conan also spots a knife with chocolate cake remains on the floor next to Hara's body and another broken sake cup. The police arrive and Takagi wonders what the sake cup could mean. Shiratori says it is obvious that they're now dealing with a serial killer. Conan privately asks Investigator Tome from the Crime Scene Team about the cup and Tome points out that this one doesn't have any bloodstains on it, meaning it could have been placed at the scene after Hara's murder to draw attention away from the actual murderer. Shiratori and Megure update Kogoro on the newest developments and say Hara was likely killed between 5 and 6 at night a day ago. Someone apparently also wiped Hara's entire computer data. The remaining suspects are Tokiwa, Kazama; Sawaguchi and Kisaragi. Megure says he wanted to ask Tokiwa to postpone the opening party, but she refused, sending two ivnitations to the party to the police instead.

[[File:M5-4.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Gin's conspiracy.]]

A black Porsche 356A parks in front of a block of flats and Gin steps out. He enters the building and meets with Vodka who is searching one of the apartments, previously belonging to Akemi Miyano. Gin says they could use Akemi's computer to run a call tracing program to find out where Sherry is and Vodka switches the computer on. At the same time, Ai gets up and calls Akemi's number, leaving a message about the party that will happen the following day. Gin's program is almost successful, but three seconds before it can reveal Sherry's current location to him and Vodka, the line is cut. Conan has secretly followed Ai and pulled the plug. He chastises her for being so reckless, reminding her that the organization already turned up at the Twin Towers. Ai runs back to her room in tears. Akemi's phone rings again shortly afterwards but the caller only uses it to remotely delete Ai's message.

The following morning, Ai explains herself to her friends at Teitan Elementary. She says she knows she is doing something dangerous, but she misses hearing her sister's voice and the only way she can do that is by calling Akemi's number and listening to her mailbox message. The Detective Boys comfort her and reassure her she isn't alone anymore, she has got all of them now.

Opening night at the Twin towers arrives. A metallic ball is rolled into the central surveillance room in the first level of the tower basements. The ball releases a gas that immediately knocks out the guards watching the CCTV screens. The culprit plants bombs in the main server room, near the entrance and on the rooftop of tower A.

[[File:M5-78.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Sonoko's new hairstyle.]]

At the same time, at Kogoro's Detective Agency, everyone meets up to go to the party but Sonoko is late. Conan and Ai quietly discuss the case and Conan asks Ai if Hara could be involved with the Black Organization. Ai says it might be possible, the Organization looks to recruit different sorts of specialists from all possible fields to work on its research projects.

Sonoko finally arrives, wearing her hair in a perm like Ai. Outside of the buildings, Takagi, Chiba, Megure and Shiratori stand guard, having had their entrance refused by Tokiwa, so all the police can do for now is watch the guests arriving for the party.

In the reception room, everyone immediately notices a shiny red Ford Mustang Convertible on a pedestal. The kids wonder how it was transported to the 75th floor as the car is too big to fit into the regular elevator, but Ayumi notices there is another elevator for cargo that was used to bring the car upstairs.

The guests enjoy a beautiful view of the sunset from the high windows and Mio Tokiwa walks on stage. She announces the guests will now be able to join a game she herself learned from her father, the "30 seconds- game". Participants will have to guess when 30 seconds have passed without using their watches or phones. Whoever comes closest will win the Mustang. If there is a tie, the winner will be decided by rock-paper-scissors and the loser receives a mountain bike with a helmet. Mio's assistant collects everyone's watches except for Conan's and Ai's. Before the game officially begins, Conan notices that Kisaragi didn't participate either.

Mio starts the stopwatch and, to everyone's immense surprise, Kogoro wins the game.

Sawaguchi calls up several guests of honour who helped build the Twin Towers to the stage before the lights are switched off for a special presentation. On a screen in front of the stage, the guests see a variety of paintings made by Hosui Kisaragi as an announcer talks about his artistic career, saying they will now officially present his latest masterpiece.

The spotlights are turned on, revealing a massive painting of Mount Fuji and Mio Tokiwa's body dangles from a wire in front of the painting. She was hanged.

}}

Kogoro brings her body down to do a first inspection and notices a sake cup on the floor next to Mio's corpse. This one, however, is unbroken.
They draw the curtains and Kogoro calls Megure and his officers to join him at the scene of the crime. They notice Mio's body was attached to a hook tied to the ceiling with piano wire, so she choked to death when the painting lowered and the wire was being pulled upwards. They decide to recreate the moment the murder was committed, instructing all suspects to stand where they stood when the lights went out.
Kogoro accuses Kisaragi of committing the murder as he stood next to Mio, saying his motive was to prevent Mio from making a profit with his paintings. Takagi interjects, saying Kisaragi had no idea about the sake cups being left at the other crime scenes.
Kogoro now declares it has to have been Sawaguchi, accusing her of being as ambitious as her father and of continuing her father's investigation into Oki's wrongdoings. Sawaguchi's father believed Oki was being bribed by Tokiwa to allow the building of the Twin Towers to continue. Sawaguchi asks Kogoro if he has any proof and he comes up with an outlandish theory. He says "choko" (sake cup) is spelled with the kanji for boar and kuchi and is a hint at Sawaguchi, who was born in the year of the boar.
Conan wants to interrupt but Ai motions him over, saying she has an idea about the way the murder was committed. Ai says Mio couldn't have noticed someone attached a piano wire to her Pearl necklace as she had been drinking and this is how she was lured to her death. Conan has a look and finds a lone pearl next to the place Kisaragi stood in. He quickly gets the elevator to the ground level to confirm his suspicion for Kisaragi's motive.

Suddenly, at the 4th basement level, one of the bombs planted by the culprit explodes in the power generator room and all the lights in A tower go out. The second bomb detonates in the Server room and eradicates all data on the servers belonging to the Tokiwa corporation, setting off a giant fire in the process.

Sawaguchi remembers that the VIP elevators are still working as they run on an independent power source. All women and children are instructed to escape by the elevators which directly lead out of A tower and Megure instructs the men to use the emergency stairs, cross over the Sky Bridge and run down tower B. Firefighters arrive and formulate a plan to put the fires out. The evacuation begins.

Conan almost fits in the elevator but the weight sensors go off, making him wait for the next one. The elevator stops on the 66th floor and the Detective Boys get out as well, leaving their place to a frightened young woman and her baby, but leaving them stuck in the building as well. Conan realises the way the bombs were planted directly points to the Organization, it was too precise to be committed to an ordinary criminal.

The elevator finally returns to the 75th floor and Conan, Ran and Sonoko step in. On the way down, Conan suddenly realises that the Organization think Ai, or rather Shiho Miyano, is at the party as well and that they now mistake Sonoko for her thanks to her new hairstyle. He zooms in to the roof of B tower, using his glasses and spots Gin who has a sniper pointing his rifle directly at Sonoko.

Conan tricks Sonoko into moving out of the way and Gin, who observes them from the roof, realises that this can't be Shiho, as Sonoko behaves rather strangely when a bullet hits the elevator next to her.
The elevator gets stuck.

Conan uses the elevator hatch to escape and Ran opens the door to the 45th floor. With flames making their way upwards, Conan hurries everyone across to the second Sky Bridge.

Gin and Vodka lock their scope lenses onto the second Bridge, believing Sherry must be escaping with the men. When they don't see her, they decide to blow up both bridges in the 60th and 45th floors, leaving Sherry trapped in tower A. Just as the Detective Boys want to hurry across the bridge in the 60th floor, it is blown up by Vodka, sending it crashing into the bridge on the 45th floor, trapping Conan and Ran as well. Smoke starts billowing into the room and Conan and Ran start to feel nauseous. Ran quickly thinks of a way to escape, breaks the glass hatch next to her, grabs a fire hose behind the hatch, ties it around Conan and herself and jumps off the building, using the force to break another glass window just as the hose starts to burn.

Conan and Ran reach the police downstairs but Conan can't see the Detective Boys. At exactly that moment, Genta contacts him with his badge, telling him they are still stuck on the 60th floor. Megure calls for a helicopter to rescue the kids. Conan sneaks across to Agasa's car to grab his skateboard, takes the elevator up to the 60th floor of B tower and jumps across the remains of the Sky Bridge to A tower, helping the Detective Boys escape to the roof before he goes back to the 75th floor to confront the serial killer.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>After everyone has evacuated from floor 75th, Conan and Ai confront the culprit who has yet to evacuate from the party room: '''Hosui Kisaragi'''.

* Kisaragi send an expensive pearl necklace to President Mio, which she wore at the party. At the backstage prior to the murder, he hooked a wire from the top of his painting of Mount Fuji along the top of the curtain and tied it to an identical necklace. Shortly before his painting would be displayed, he silently approched Mio and removed the necklace from her neck. After calming her down, he pretended to pick it the necklace up and put the second necklace on her instead. With his trap in place, all he had to do was wait for the painting to be lowered down, choking Mio to death. Kisaragi left a sake cup on the stage to frame the serial killer for it.

* During the first murder, Kisaragi visited Oki by presenting him a painting as a gift, lowering Oki's guard. After Oki was murdered, he removed the painting which was hung on the wardrobe door from the crime scene, creating a strange shape of bloodstains.

* However, Kisaragi wasn't the one who killed Hara, as Hara was already murdered by the time that he arrived at the latter's house. Instead, he used the broken cup that he had prepared to make it appears that the murderer of both Oki and Hara was the same person, and removing himself from the suspect list as his alibi during the second murder was verified by the Detective Boys.

* The evidence that proves Kisaragi's crime is hidden in his cane: the '''first necklace''' that Mio wore. Conan noticed strange sound coming from the can after the murder, meaning that Kisaragi had hidden something inside it.

== Motive ==
Kisaragi concedes and confesses: he committed all three murders for the sake of Mount Fuji. For ten years, he always climbed a hill just outside of Nishitama City to paint the mountain. When old age caught up with him, he built a house on top of the hill to keep enjoying his favourite perspective of Mount Fuji when he painted, a view that was ruined by the Twin Towers which split the mountain in half, thus he murdered Mio and planned to murder Hara in vengeance for their involvement in constructing the towers, and Oki for approving the towers' construction plan. The broken sake cup was a reference to his now spoiled view of Mount Fuji. He left an unbroken sake cup at the third crime scene because the serial cases had already ended, and that Mio's body provided the same symbolism as she was hung in front of his painting, dividing the mountain the same way.

With all of his crimes exposed, Kisaragi tries to commit suicide by poison, which he originally intended to do so after he had succeeded in his goal, but is tranquilized by Conan with his watch, stating that as a detective he cannot allow Kisaragi to commit suicide as he must pay for his own sin.

== Aftermath ==
Ai, who listened to Conan's deduction, asks when Conan became suspicious of Kisaragi. Conan says he noticed the Twin Towers seemingly splitting Mount Fujii in two when they got out of Asahino Station and that he wondered why Kisaragi had his blinds drawn even though his house supposedly offered a perfect view of the mountain.

He also explains that he knows who actually killed Hara. Hara grabbed his silver knife to leave a dying message - silver in Japanese means "GIN". Gin didn't suspect this, thinking Hara wanted to defend himself with the knife. Conan says Hara must have hacked into the Black Organization's computers, which explains why his entire hard drive was erased.

Conan goes upstairs and Ai remains in the room, noticing a glowing red light behind the bar that she thinks has to come from a bomb. Just as Conan reaches the roof, Vodka remotely activates a bomb making it impossible for the rescue helicopter to land, so Conan quickly helps the Detective Boys down to the reception room again.

Ai shows a horrified Conan that she found a bomb under every table in the reception room. Conan frantically looks around and spots the dome on the roof of B tower, remembering that it is retractable. He thinks they can bridge the distance between both towers with the Mustang which remained in the room. Ai challenges Conan's assumption, saying the distance is 50 metres and they would need a minimum of 60 metres to successfully land on B tower. With the height difference taken into account, it will take only 2 seconds for the car to hit the tower and they would need a speed of 108 km/h. Conan explains he wants to use the explosion as an accelerant.

This plan, however, needs absolutely precise timing and Conan's watch battery just died. They remember how good Ayumi was at the 30 seconds game so they tell her to help everyone and tell Conan to start the car on time. Ai decides she will also count down to 30 to help Ayumi and remains sitting on one of the tables. Conan calls Megure and asks for the roof of B tower to be opened.

They load an unconscious Kisaragi into the car and start the countdown a minute before the bombs are due to explode. As 30 seconds approach, Ai doesn't want to make any move so Genta jumps out of the car, hauls her over his shoulder and runs back into the car with Ai with five seconds remaining.

Conan hits the accelerator, the bombs detonate and the car flies through the air. Ai almost falls out but Mitsuhiko saves her. Conan suddenly notices a glass sculpture inside the pool on tower B, realising how dangerous this could be for Ai so he kicks Ayumi's helmet (which she had won for coming second in the 30 seconds game at the party) into the sculpture, breaking it and saving Ai.

The car safely lands in the pool. Ayumi explains that she always gets excited when Conan is near her so she can count her heartbeat to help guessing how many seconds have passed.

Vodka is informed that five children and an old man have escaped with the car and finally realises Sherry was nowhere near the towers.
Gin says he doesn't care, their main objective has been fulfilled - the servers used by Tokiwa are destroyed.

The police arrest Kisaragi.

Suddenly, a horrified Kogoro realises that his brand new car is now swimming in the pool, completely submerged.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* For some unknown reason, Gin refers to [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] as "Shelly" in the English dub. This could be because of a translator error in the script or yet another edit TMS Entertainment required in the dub version.
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Chinami Sawaguchi - Cherilyn Chrisabel
:* Iwamatsu Oki - Augustine Odell
:* Mio Tokiwa - Madison Monroe
:* Hidehiko Kazama - Theodore Radcliff

== Trivia ==
* The car that Kogoro won which was used by Conan to jump from Tower A to the pool in Tower B is a 2002 red Ford Mustang GT convertible [SN95].
* Yoshiaki Hara drives a 1996 silver metallic Toyota Crown Majesta [S150].
* The Black Organization spies from a 1998 dark blue Chevrolet Astro van. The license plate number is 新宿 33-06 (Shinjuku 33-06).
* There are conspiracy theories stating that the plot of this movie was meant as a warning about 9/11, as the film was released the same year that the attacks happened, and the attacks were very similar to some of the events depicted in the film, with twin tower buildings being bombed in both and the subsequent fires causing massive structural damage.
** It's worth pointing out as well that Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind 9/11 and former head of Al-Quaeda, was killed in 2011 and his computer's hard drive had episodes of Detective Conan on it, though the parallels between the movie and 9/11 are likely just an eerie coincidence.
* The movie Haibara watches in the cinema, in which a gangster uses a M1928 Thompson submachine gun to shoot out of a car with "927-215" as license plate number, the same for one of his men in 1987 ''[[Wikipedia: The Untouchables (film)|The Untouchables]]'', is about Al Capone's gang.
* Gin's sniper assault rifle used to shoot Sonoko is a Colt M16A2.
* The design in Kazama's CAD system is the same of the light attraction appearing in the climax scene from [[Captured in Her Eyes]].
* The scene where Ran uses the fire hose as a rope and jumps out of the fire with Conan and breaks the glass below is a reference to Bruce Willis ''[[Wikipedia: Die Hard|Die Hard]]'' movie 1988, where John McClain had to do the same thing on the rooftop.
* Gin and Vodka appear in the movie, though no other codenamed Black Organization members appear, likely because Vermouth hadn't been well established at this point.
* In the Funimation dub, Troy Baker reprised his role as Gin, while Vodka's voice was changed to be less gravelly and done by Christopher R Sabat this time around.
** This also marks the final appearance of Gin and Vodka in the Funimation dub, as well as Troy Baker's last performance as Gin. The new English dub replaced him with Albert Wesker voice actor DC Douglas.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Professor Agasa takes the Detective Boys camping. It is a beautiful day and they enjoy a view of Mt. Fuji as well as the newly built Nishitamashi Twin Towers, the now tallest buildings in Japan. Mitsuhiko asks Agasa if they can have a look at the towers on their way back and Agasa agrees. They set up camp and Agasa and Ai prepare rice and curry for everyone. Genta chastises Mitsuhiko for not finishing his rice, saying "there will be consequences from the gods, that's what my parents always say".

[[File:M5-8.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ai phoning someone enigmatically amidst nighttime.]]
[[File:M5-5.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Twin Towers of Nishitamashi.]]

At night, everyone sleeps soundly in their tents when Genta wakes up because he has to go to the bathroom. On his way back, he spots Ai in a phone booth. He doesn't think there is anything suspicious about it and runs back to the tent because he feels cold. Ai talks to an unknown person on the phone and says she will go to the Twin Towers and "he" will join her as well. Somewhere else, at the same time, Gin and Vodka finish a phone call in their Porsche 356 A, though it isn't clear if they were talking to Ai. Gin says they are going to the Nishitamashi towers the following day.

In the afternoon, the Detective Boys and Agasa return to Tokyo. Genta complains that his seatbelt is a bit tight and Mitsuhiko replies that that isn't any surprise, after all Genta ate five bowls of rice at breakfast. To pass the time, Mitsuhiko suggests playing the 30 seconds-game. Players have to count down to 30 seconds without looking at a timer and whoever is closest, wins. Ai and Agasa sit the game out. Mitsuhiko goes first and gets 40 seconds, Conan does a bit better, stopping at 27 seconds, Genta gets all the way up to 59 seconds and Ayumi manages a perfect 30 seconds. Genta then asks Ai who she was talking to on the phone the previous night and Ai replies that he must have imagined that. They park in front of the towers, where, to their great surprise, Sonoko, Ran and Kogoro join them, having taken a taxi. Everyone decides to go to the towers together and Kogoro explains that he was invited by the owner of the building, his old college friend Mio Tokiwa. Chinami Sakaguchi, Mio's secretary, greets her guests in front of the towers and explains she is going to take them on a tour of the buildings. She says the Tokiwa Corporation uses all of the floors above the 31st floor and that she will first take them to the Tokiwa showroom on the 2nd and 3rd floor. Mitsuhiko tells Ayumi that Tokiwa specialises in software but deals with everything concerning computers. Yoshiaki Hara, an executive and programmer for Tokiwa, meets them in front of the showroom and presents his newest invention - a machine that can predict what someone will look like in ten years. Ayumi and Agasa try it out first. Agasa looks exactly the same but everyone is stunned by Ayumi's pretty appearance. Genta and Mitsuhiko try the machine out next and aren't sure what to make of their appearance as 17-year olds. Sonoko and Ran decide to give it a go. Sonoko is disappointed, declaring she looks old, but Ran, Kogoro - and quite obviously Conan, who tries to remain inconspicuous - are impressed by Ran's photo, Kogoro says she reminds him of Eri. Mitsuhiko and Ayumi wonder about Conan's strange reaction.

[[File:M5-15.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi's predicted look in ten years.]]

Conan and Ai refuse to participate for obvious reasons, fearing they will be exposed by the machine. Kogoro forces Conan to sit down and have his photo taken and Mitsuhiko and Genta pressure Ai to sit down as well. The machine takes a photo of them but then shows an error message, keeping Conan and Ai safe.

Sawaguchi's phone rings and she tells her guests to follow her to the 75th floor where everything is being prepared for the grand opening party of the towers. As they go to the elevator, Sawaguchi accidentally treads on Kogoro's toes and apologises, embarassed. Hara jokes it isn't a surprise that Sawaguchi is clumsy, she was born in the Chinese year of the Boar after all. Sawaguchi gets everyone into the VIP elevator which instantly accesses any floor of the building. She explains that the VIP elevator can only be entered on this floor and the 66th floor where there is a concert hall. Ayumi and Mitsuhiko admire the view as the elevator takes them up and say it feels like going straight to heaven. The reception room on the 75th floor is in a complete mess while everything is being set up for the party. Mio Tokiwa comes to join her guests as they get out of the elevator and introduces them to some other VIP guests: Hosui Kisaragi, a painter who specialises in the traditional Japanese ways of painting, Iwamatsu Oki, a council member in Nishitamashi who supported the building of the towers and Hidehiko Kazama, the architect who designed the buildings. Kazama explains that he studied under Teiji Moriya, which instantly alarms Conan and Kogoro but Kazama assures them that he doesn't plan on blowing his creations up at all. Conan points out Moriya wouldn't have approved of the towers because they are assymetrical. Kazama says this was intentional. One side of the tower they are in right now offers a perfect view of Mount Fuji, on the other side you can see tower B which is a commercial building with a hotel on the top floors. The hotel has a rooftop pool with a retractable roof.

[[File:M5-20.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Hara offers chocolates hospitably.]]

Oki, who is already quite drunk, asks Mio if he can't spend the night in the hotel and she arranges for him to stay in a suite on the 67th floor on tower B. Oki thanks her and says he wants to take her out for dinner, before noticing Mio's unusual brooch. She replies she got it as a gift. Kisaragi abruptly decides he has to leave. Kazama explains that the painter feels insulted by the way Mio treats his art. She buys his paintings and sells them for a profit without appreciating him as an artist. Hara hands chocolates to Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko and invites them to his house to test a new game he created. He tells the Detective Boys to visit him the following Sunday. Ai decides to leave and Mitsuhiko approaches Ran in private and says he needs Ran's help. Ayumi also asks to speak to Ran in private. in the meantime, Sonoko still studies her photo when Ai walks past, wondering if she should get a perm. Two Tokiwa employees get out of the VIP elevator and discuss a "luxury car" that just parked in front of the towers. They say it is a Porsche 356A which alarms Conan immensely. He asks the employees to describe the car to him and is shocked when their descriptions match the car used by Gin. Conan hurries to the elevator and keeps an eye on the car as he goes down. The Porsche drives off as soon as he gets out of the building.

The next day Mitsuhiko meets up with Ran at a fast food restaurant and asks for Ran's help. He says he has a crush on Ayumi but it is obvious that Ayumi prefers Conan. He is also confused because he feels like he is developing feelings for Ai and wonders if he's a bad person for liking two girls. Ran says there is no need for him to be ashamed and that he should treasure those feelings but stay friends with both girls. Later, Ayumi meets Ran at a donut shop and confesses that she has a crush on Conan. She worries Conan has a crush on Ran as well. Ran doesn't believe that but Ayumi insists, saying she watched Conan and "female intuition" told her Conan has feelings for Ran. Ran is amused how serious the children take all of this. During same night, Ran calls Shinichi and they discuss Conan having feelings for her. Shinichi laughs Ran's suggestion off. Meanwhile, an intruder breaks into Oki's room in the hotel on the 67th floor of tower B, pulls out a knife, backs Oki into a corner and fatally stabs the politician with his knife before he escapes.

[[File:M5-suspects.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The case suspects.]]

As they were among the last people to see Oki alive, Inspector Megure calls everyone to police headquarters to inform them of Oki's death and question their alibis. Chiba reports that Oki died between 10 o'clock and midnight and that they found a sake cup broken in half at the crime scene. Megure says he has two theories about the cup's meaning. Either it fell out of Oki's pocket or it was a message left by either the murderer or the victim. Shiratori says the police have five main subjects. Because the building isn't open to the public, only Tokiwa, Hara, Kisaragi, Sawaguchi and Kazama could have entered Oki's room and committed the crime. Kogoro puts a theory forward - "choko" (sake cup) could refer to "chocolate" and point to Hara who is known for loving chocolate. Megure informs Kogoro that Hara is the only one among the suspects who has an alibi. The police don't really have a valid motive yet but wonder if Oki's death had something to do with the towers themselves. Oki was an influential politician who made the city government give up their opposition to the building project.

Conan asks if the sake cup couldn't refer to Mio Tokiwa because her brooch looks like it. Kogoro angrily objects but Megure says she is actually the current main suspect since she was staying on the 68th floor of tower B, making her closest to the victim.
Sonoko says the sake cup reminds her of the bowl used to mix powder in traditional Japanese painting.
They realise it could point to almost every one of the subjects except Kazama and Sawaguchi. Conan tells the police officers that he heard Kazama studied under Teiji Moriya but Shiratori replies that that doesn't make him suspicious as Kazama is nowhere near as much a perfectionist as Moriya was. Megure adds that Sawaguchi maybe had a motive for killing Oki as well. Her father was an investigative journalist who was looking into Oki when he suddenly died from exhaustion. Sawaguchi was in her last year at university when she lost her father. However, there is no evidence that ties Oki to Mr. Sawaguchi's death.

Conan sneaks another look at the photo of the victim hidden in Megure's notebook and notices that blood is suspiciously missing from a place where it should be. Ai looks at the photo with him and says she has noticed the same. Conan quietly tells her he worries the sake cup could point to the Black Organization but Ai calms him, saying they would never leave such an obvious message.

[[File:M5-28.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Detective Boys' investigation.]]

Out of the corner of his eye, Conan sees Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi having a quiet discussion and apparently agreeing on something. The three friends meet up at Beika Station to get ahead of Conan in their investigation, but Conan sneaks up on them, surprising them and makes them promise never to do anything this dangerous again, after all they could meet a murderer. Genta explains he asked Ai to join them - she declined, saying she had housework to do. Actually, Ai spends the afternoon by herself and watches a gangster movie in the cinema, which reminds her a lot of herself now she left the organization after her older sister's death, because there is a scene where a man betrayed the gang and was killed by them while escaping along with his beloved younger sister.

Mitsuhiko explains their plans to Conan. They are on their way to Kazama's house and plan to visit Hara the following day. Mitsuhiko says they also found out Kisaragi lives in a house he had built in Asahino, in walking distance from Kazama, and that he moved there three years ago.

Upon arrival at Asahino station, the Detective Boys first go to visit Kazama. Conan is impressed by the CAD system the architect uses to digitally design his buildings and models. Mitsuhiko starts questioning Kazama on Oki's death. He says he had no reason to be angry at the politician and was actually quite grateful for his support in the twin towers project and thanked Oki for it. Kazama also tells them about his son and that he has to call his family now. Conan realises Kazama can't be the murderer as he was completely relaxed around them.

[[File:M5-75.jpeg|thumb|right|200px|Meeting with the painter Kisaragi.]]

Kisaragi is working on a painting of Mount Fuji when the Detective Boys knock on his door. He is originally furious with them for disturbing him in the middle of his work. Conan notices Kisaragi has the blinds drawn even though his house overlooks Mount Fuji perfectly. Kisaragi draws caricatures of all the Detective Boys, hands them to the kids with a grin and shoos them away.

That night, Professor Agasa wakes up from his own loud snoring. He gets up to have a glass of water and overhears Ai speaking to someone on the phone. The following morning, he calls Conan and says Genta told him something similar had happened during their recent camping trip. Agasa fears the organization has lured Ai back in, but Conan tells the professor to trust her. Conan puts the phone down and meets up with the rest of the Detective Boys to visit Hara. Hara's doors are not fully closed, making Conan instantly suspicious. He takes his shoes off, sneaks into the apartment and they find Hara dead on the floor of his living room.

[[File:M5-21.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan scrutinising the clue left in the crime scene.]]

Hara has a single wound in his chest that could come from a gunshot. Conan also spots a knife with chocolate cake remains on the floor next to Hara's body and another broken sake cup. The police arrive and Takagi wonders what the sake cup could mean. Shiratori says it is obvious that they're now dealing with a serial killer. Conan privately asks Investigator Tome from the Crime Scene Team about the cup and Tome points out that this one doesn't have any bloodstains on it, meaning it could have been placed at the scene after Hara's murder to draw attention away from the actual murderer. Shiratori and Megure update Kogoro on the newest developments and say Hara was likely killed between 5 and 6 at night a day ago. Someone apparently also wiped Hara's entire computer data. The remaining suspects are Tokiwa, Kazama; Sawaguchi and Kisaragi. Megure says he wanted to ask Tokiwa to postpone the opening party, but she refused, sending two ivnitations to the party to the police instead.

[[File:M5-4.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Gin's conspiracy.]]

A black Porsche 356A parks in front of a block of flats and Gin steps out. He enters the building and meets with Vodka who is searching one of the apartments, previously belonging to Akemi Miyano. Gin says they could use Akemi's computer to run a call tracing program to find out where Sherry is and Vodka switches the computer on. At the same time, Ai gets up and calls Akemi's number, leaving a message about the party that will happen the following day. Gin's program is almost successful, but three seconds before it can reveal Sherry's current location to him and Vodka, the line is cut. Conan has secretly followed Ai and pulled the plug. He chastises her for being so reckless, reminding her that the organization already turned up at the Twin Towers. Ai runs back to her room in tears. Akemi's phone rings again shortly afterwards but the caller only uses it to remotely delete Ai's message.

The following morning, Ai explains herself to her friends at Teitan Elementary. She says she knows she is doing something dangerous, but she misses hearing her sister's voice and the only way she can do that is by calling Akemi's number and listening to her mailbox message. The Detective Boys comfort her and reassure her she isn't alone anymore, she has got all of them now.

Opening night at the Twin towers arrives. A metallic ball is rolled into the central surveillance room in the first level of the tower basements. The ball releases a gas that immediately knocks out the guards watching the CCTV screens. The culprit plants bombs in the main server room, near the entrance and on the rooftop of tower A.

[[File:M5-78.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Sonoko's new hairstyle.]]

At the same time, at Kogoro's Detective Agency, everyone meets up to go to the party but Sonoko is late. Conan and Ai quietly discuss the case and Conan asks Ai if Hara could be involved with the Black Organization. Ai says it might be possible, the Organization looks to recruit different sorts of specialists from all possible fields to work on its research projects.

Sonoko finally arrives, wearing her hair in a perm like Ai. Outside of the buildings, Takagi, Chiba, Megure and Shiratori stand guard, having had their entrance refused by Tokiwa, so all the police can do for now is watch the guests arriving for the party.

In the reception room, everyone immediately notices a shiny red Ford Mustang Convertible on a pedestal. The kids wonder how it was transported to the 75th floor as the car is too big to fit into the regular elevator, but Ayumi notices there is another elevator for cargo that was used to bring the car upstairs.

The guests enjoy a beautiful view of the sunset from the high windows and Mio Tokiwa walks on stage. She announces the guests will now be able to join a game she herself learned from her father, the "30 seconds- game". Participants will have to guess when 30 seconds have passed without using their watches or phones. Whoever comes closest will win the Mustang. If there is a tie, the winner will be decided by rock-paper-scissors and the loser receives a mountain bike with a helmet. Mio's assistant collects everyone's watches except for Conan's and Ai's. Before the game officially begins, Conan notices that Kisaragi didn't participate either.

Mio starts the stopwatch and, to everyone's immense surprise, Kogoro wins the game.

Sawaguchi calls up several guests of honour who helped build the Twin Towers to the stage before the lights are switched off for a special presentation. On a screen in front of the stage, the guests see a variety of paintings made by Hosui Kisaragi as an announcer talks about his artistic career, saying they will now officially present his latest masterpiece.

The spotlights are turned on, revealing a massive painting of Mount Fuji and Mio Tokiwa's body dangles from a wire in front of the painting. She was hanged.

Kogoro brings her body down to do a first inspection and notices a sake cup on the floor next to Mio's corpse. This one, however, is unbroken.
They draw the curtains and Kogoro calls Megure and his officers to join him at the scene of the crime. They notice Mio's body was attached to a hook tied to the ceiling with piano wire, so she choked to death when the painting lowered and the wire was being pulled upwards. They decide to recreate the moment the murder was committed, instructing all suspects to stand where they stood when the lights went out.
Kogoro accuses Kisaragi of committing the murder as he stood next to Mio, saying his motive was to prevent Mio from making a profit with his paintings. Takagi interjects, saying Kisaragi had no idea about the sake cups being left at the other crime scenes.
Kogoro now declares it has to have been Sawaguchi, accusing her of being as ambitious as her father and of continuing her father's investigation into Oki's wrongdoings. Sawaguchi's father believed Oki was being bribed by Tokiwa to allow the building of the Twin Towers to continue. Sawaguchi asks Kogoro if he has any proof and he comes up with an outlandish theory. He says "choko" (sake cup) is spelled with the kanji for boar and kuchi and is a hint at Sawaguchi, who was born in the year of the boar.
Conan wants to interrupt but Ai motions him over, saying she has an idea about the way the murder was committed. Ai says Mio couldn't have noticed someone attached a piano wire to her Pearl necklace as she had been drinking and this is how she was lured to her death. Conan has a look and finds a lone pearl next to the place Kisaragi stood in. He quickly gets the elevator to the ground level to confirm his suspicion for Kisaragi's motive.

Suddenly, at the 4th basement level, one of the bombs planted by the culprit explodes in the power generator room and all the lights in A tower go out. The second bomb detonates in the Server room and eradicates all data on the servers belonging to the Tokiwa corporation, setting off a giant fire in the process.

Sawaguchi remembers that the VIP elevators are still working as they run on an independent power source. All women and children are instructed to escape by the elevators which directly lead out of A tower and Megure instructs the men to use the emergency stairs, cross over the Sky Bridge and run down tower B. Firefighters arrive and formulate a plan to put the fires out. The evacuation begins.

Conan almost fits in the elevator but the weight sensors go off, making him wait for the next one. The elevator stops on the 66th floor and the Detective Boys get out as well, leaving their place to a frightened young woman and her baby, but leaving them stuck in the building as well. Conan realises the way the bombs were planted directly points to the Organization, it was too precise to be committed to an ordinary criminal.

The elevator finally returns to the 75th floor and Conan, Ran and Sonoko step in. On the way down, Conan suddenly realises that the Organization think Ai, or rather Shiho Miyano, is at the party as well and that they now mistake Sonoko for her thanks to her new hairstyle. He zooms in to the roof of B tower, using his glasses and spots Gin who has a sniper pointing his rifle directly at Sonoko.

Conan tricks Sonoko into moving out of the way and Gin, who observes them from the roof, realises that this can't be Shiho, as Sonoko behaves rather strangely when a bullet hits the elevator next to her.
The elevator gets stuck.

Conan uses the elevator hatch to escape and Ran opens the door to the 45th floor. With flames making their way upwards, Conan hurries everyone across to the second Sky Bridge.

Gin and Vodka lock their scope lenses onto the second Bridge, believing Sherry must be escaping with the men. When they don't see her, they decide to blow up both bridges in the 60th and 45th floors, leaving Sherry trapped in tower A. Just as the Detective Boys want to hurry across the bridge in the 60th floor, it is blown up by Vodka, sending it crashing into the bridge on the 45th floor, trapping Conan and Ran as well. Smoke starts billowing into the room and Conan and Ran start to feel nauseous. Ran quickly thinks of a way to escape, breaks the glass hatch next to her, grabs a fire hose behind the hatch, ties it around Conan and herself and jumps off the building, using the force to break another glass window just as the hose starts to burn.

Conan and Ran reach the police downstairs but Conan can't see the Detective Boys. At exactly that moment, Genta contacts him with his badge, telling him they are still stuck on the 60th floor. Megure calls for a helicopter to rescue the kids. Conan sneaks across to Agasa's car to grab his skateboard, takes the elevator up to the 60th floor of B tower and jumps across the remains of the Sky Bridge to A tower, helping the Detective Boys escape to the roof before he goes back to the 75th floor to confront the serial killer.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>After everyone has evacuated from floor 75th, Conan and Ai confront the culprit who has yet to evacuate from the party room: '''Hosui Kisaragi'''.

* Kisaragi send an expensive pearl necklace to President Mio, which she wore at the party. At the backstage prior to the murder, he hooked a wire from the top of his painting of Mount Fuji along the top of the curtain and tied it to an identical necklace. Shortly before his painting would be displayed, he silently approched Mio and removed the necklace from her neck. After calming her down, he pretended to pick it the necklace up and put the second necklace on her instead. With his trap in place, all he had to do was wait for the painting to be lowered down, choking Mio to death. Kisaragi left a sake cup on the stage to frame the serial killer for it.

* During the first murder, Kisaragi visited Oki by presenting him a painting as a gift, lowering Oki's guard. After Oki was murdered, he removed the painting which was hung on the wardrobe door from the crime scene, creating a strange shape of bloodstains.

* However, Kisaragi wasn't the one who killed Hara, as Hara was already murdered by the time that he arrived at the latter's house. Instead, he used the broken cup that he had prepared to make it appears that the murderer of both Oki and Hara was the same person, and removing himself from the suspect list as his alibi during the second murder was verified by the Detective Boys.

* The evidence that proves Kisaragi's crime is hidden in his cane: the '''first necklace''' that Mio wore. Conan noticed strange sound coming from the can after the murder, meaning that Kisaragi had hidden something inside it.

== Motive ==
Kisaragi concedes and confesses: he committed all three murders for the sake of Mount Fuji. For ten years, he always climbed a hill just outside of Nishitama City to paint the mountain. When old age caught up with him, he built a house on top of the hill to keep enjoying his favourite perspective of Mount Fuji when he painted, a view that was ruined by the Twin Towers which split the mountain in half, thus he murdered Mio and planned to murder Hara in vengeance for their involvement in constructing the towers, and Oki for approving the towers' construction plan. The broken sake cup was a reference to his now spoiled view of Mount Fuji. He left an unbroken sake cup at the third crime scene because the serial cases had already ended, and that Mio's body provided the same symbolism as she was hung in front of his painting, dividing the mountain the same way.

With all of his crimes exposed, Kisaragi tries to commit suicide by poison, which he originally intended to do so after he had succeeded in his goal, but is tranquilized by Conan with his watch, stating that as a detective he cannot allow Kisaragi to commit suicide as he must pay for his own sin.

== Aftermath ==
Ai, who listened to Conan's deduction, asks when Conan became suspicious of Kisaragi. Conan says he noticed the Twin Towers seemingly splitting Mount Fujii in two when they got out of Asahino Station and that he wondered why Kisaragi had his blinds drawn even though his house supposedly offered a perfect view of the mountain.

He also explains that he knows who actually killed Hara. Hara grabbed his silver knife to leave a dying message - silver in Japanese means "GIN". Gin didn't suspect this, thinking Hara wanted to defend himself with the knife. Conan says Hara must have hacked into the Black Organization's computers, which explains why his entire hard drive was erased.

Conan goes upstairs and Ai remains in the room, noticing a glowing red light behind the bar that she thinks has to come from a bomb. Just as Conan reaches the roof, Vodka remotely activates a bomb making it impossible for the rescue helicopter to land, so Conan quickly helps the Detective Boys down to the reception room again.

Ai shows a horrified Conan that she found a bomb under every table in the reception room. Conan frantically looks around and spots the dome on the roof of B tower, remembering that it is retractable. He thinks they can bridge the distance between both towers with the Mustang which remained in the room. Ai challenges Conan's assumption, saying the distance is 50 metres and they would need a minimum of 60 metres to successfully land on B tower. With the height difference taken into account, it will take only 2 seconds for the car to hit the tower and they would need a speed of 108 km/h. Conan explains he wants to use the explosion as an accelerant.

This plan, however, needs absolutely precise timing and Conan's watch battery just died. They remember how good Ayumi was at the 30 seconds game so they tell her to help everyone and tell Conan to start the car on time. Ai decides she will also count down to 30 to help Ayumi and remains sitting on one of the tables. Conan calls Megure and asks for the roof of B tower to be opened.

They load an unconscious Kisaragi into the car and start the countdown a minute before the bombs are due to explode. As 30 seconds approach, Ai doesn't want to make any move so Genta jumps out of the car, hauls her over his shoulder and runs back into the car with Ai with five seconds remaining.

Conan hits the accelerator, the bombs detonate and the car flies through the air. Ai almost falls out but Mitsuhiko saves her. Conan suddenly notices a glass sculpture inside the pool on tower B, realising how dangerous this could be for Ai so he kicks Ayumi's helmet (which she had won for coming second in the 30 seconds game at the party) into the sculpture, breaking it and saving Ai.

The car safely lands in the pool. Ayumi explains that she always gets excited when Conan is near her so she can count her heartbeat to help guessing how many seconds have passed.

Vodka is informed that five children and an old man have escaped with the car and finally realises Sherry was nowhere near the towers.
Gin says he doesn't care, their main objective has been fulfilled - the servers used by Tokiwa are destroyed.

The police arrest Kisaragi.

Suddenly, a horrified Kogoro realises that his brand new car is now swimming in the pool, completely submerged.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* For some unknown reason, Gin refers to [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] as "Shelly" in the English dub. This could be because of a translator error in the script or yet another edit TMS Entertainment required in the dub version.
* The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Chinami Sawaguchi - Cherilyn Chrisabel
:* Iwamatsu Oki - Augustine Odell
:* Mio Tokiwa - Madison Monroe
:* Hidehiko Kazama - Theodore Radcliff

== Trivia ==
* The car that Kogoro won which was used by Conan to jump from Tower A to the pool in Tower B is a 2002 red Ford Mustang GT convertible [SN95].
* Yoshiaki Hara drives a 1996 silver metallic Toyota Crown Majesta [S150].
* The Black Organization spies from a 1998 dark blue Chevrolet Astro van. The license plate number is 新宿 33-06 (Shinjuku 33-06).
* There are conspiracy theories stating that the plot of this movie was meant as a warning about 9/11, as the film was released the same year that the attacks happened, and the attacks were very similar to some of the events depicted in the film, with twin tower buildings being bombed in both and the subsequent fires causing massive structural damage.
** It's worth pointing out as well that Osama Bin Laden, the mastermind behind 9/11 and former head of Al-Quaeda, was killed in 2011 and his computer's hard drive had episodes of Detective Conan on it, though the parallels between the movie and 9/11 are likely just an eerie coincidence.
* The movie Haibara watches in the cinema, in which a gangster uses a M1928 Thompson submachine gun to shoot out of a car with "927-215" as license plate number, the same for one of his men in 1987 ''[[Wikipedia: The Untouchables (film)|The Untouchables]]'', is about Al Capone's gang.
* Gin's sniper assault rifle used to shoot Sonoko is a Colt M16A2.
* The design in Kazama's CAD system is the same of the light attraction appearing in the climax scene from [[Captured in Her Eyes]].
* The scene where Ran uses the fire hose as a rope and jumps out of the fire with Conan and breaks the glass below is a reference to Bruce Willis ''[[Wikipedia: Die Hard|Die Hard]]'' movie 1988, where John McClain had to do the same thing on the rooftop.

=== Situation ===
After finding a wounded bird on the ground Conan, Kogoro, and Ran hear a loud scream coming from the building next to them. Once upon entering the building they find a terrified woman in the hall, screaming about how she has just found her husband dead. The murder victim on the balcony, believed to have been killed by a plant pot.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Norio Terasawa'''. He used a fishing rod as a murder weapon, using its sinker to smash Imoto's head. Sunflower pots were broken in the process and so the illusion the murder was created by physical bludgeoning was created. Evidence to his crime includes the deep imprint he left on the abandoned apartment next-door to the victim's (an imprint that in these circumstances could only be caused by a whip fishing stance) and that could be examined with the murderer's own shoes. Also in the process of the murder a stray bird was accidentally struck in the weapon's line of fire and a mark from the sinker was formed on the veranda railing. The final decisive evidence was the grip rod found in the building that had his fingerprints on it.

His motive for killing Imoto was that he shut down a fishing tackle shop he owned which the victim was going to renovate into company property. The last straw came when he rejected Terasawa's pleas and broke one of his precious fishing rods.

In the post credit scene, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan were fishing, which led Kogoro to wonder if Conan gave him that fishing hint on purpose. However, his suspicion ended when he fell in the water, after Conan bumped into him.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Tomofumi Minami'''. The bomb was actually not contained in the golf ball Eisuke Tachibana hit but rather the golfball that was already stuffed into the driver head he was using. Tomofumi was the only one who could do it as he was supposedly repairing some shaft damages on Tachibana's driver for two nights. The ball they discovered at the crime scene was just a substitute. Tomofumi planned to frame Yasui for the murder by faking a stomach ache so Yasui would collect the ten balls Tachibana would use and leave the explosion as the only uninjured suspect. Tomofumi claimed he did not care if innocent people died, but Conan tells Ran that he didn't believe it because Minami warned him to not get too close right before Tachibana's "explosive" death, meaning he saved Conan from the explosion at the last minute.

=== Motive ===
Tomofumi killed his boss for overlooking his talent and framed Yasui who received preferential treatment for brown-nosing.</spoiler>

A relaxing day at the driving range leads Kogoro, Ran, and Conan to their next explosive case, as the president of a leading electronics manufacturer meets an untimely end. With many suspects and few clues, will Conan unravel the mystery in time to catch a killer?

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Tomofumi Minami'''. The bomb was actually not contained in the golf ball Eisuke Tachibana hit but rather the golfball that was already stuffed into the driver head he was using. Tomofumi was the only one who could do it as he was supposedly repairing some shaft damages on Tachibana's driver for two nights. The ball they discovered at the crime scene was just a substitute. Tomofumi planned to frame Yasui for the murder by faking a stomach ache so Yasui would collect the ten balls Tachibana would use and leave the explosion as the only uninjured suspect. Tomofumi claimed he did not care if innocent people died, but Conan tells Ran that he didn't believe it because Minami warned him to not get too close right before Tachibana's "explosive" death, meaning he saved Conan from the explosion at the last minute.

=== Motive ===
Tomofumi killed his boss for overlooking his talent and framed Yasui who received preferential treatment for brown-nosing.</spoiler>

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], the [[Detective Boys]], [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] are all watching a decisive, fever-pitched soccer game involving the Tokyo Spirits and Noir. While everyone walks out of the stadium, they see a game involving Big Osaka on a store television. Haibara takes special interest in a certain player on the team, [[Ryusuke Higo]], because his situation in soccer closely mirrors her own situation with the [[Black Organization]], though she never admits this. He is considered a "traitor" by fans, for going from one team to another, and even fans of his own team boo at him when he makes mistakes.

While Haibara and the Detective Boys are focused on the game, Conan asks Agasa about if he has new information on [[Chris Vineyard]], and learns of a scandal which occured during the burial of her mother [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. While they watch the game on TV, they spot a man by the name of Kadotake Akano, a self-styled Noir Tokyo hooligan who takes pride on starting trouble and riots during soccer matches. Later on, while everyone is on a train packed with Noir and Tokyo supporters, the hooligan is suddenly murdered, stabbed inside of the train.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = EP279-280 Case 1.jpg

| suspects = Hasue Kira, Mitsuaki Funato, and Etsutoshi Oba
| description = Kadotake Akano is stabbed on stomach in a train with Noir and Tokyo supporters.
}}

Inspector Megure and Detective Takagi arrive on the scene. Conan is able to narrow the suspects down to three people, but can he solve the case? And where did Haibara go? The last scene of the episode shows her walking away from everyone.

==== Part 2 ====
After questioning the three suspects, Conan still cannot determine who the culprit is, but notices that Haibara is watching the next soccer match on the subway's TV. She empathizes with the player Higo, who has changed from playing for Noir Tokyo to the Tokyo Spirits, but is now hated by both teams.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
[[Image:Ep280 Oba twin death.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The motive for the murder.]]
The culprit is '''Etsutoshi Oba'''. A year ago, his younger twin brother was pushed down a stadium staircase by Akano during a Noir Tokyo game, because Oba had complained about the boastful tales of violence recounted on Akano's website, ''Tokyo Hooligan''. Akano's misdeed caused the younger Oba's skull to be indented, resulting in his death three days later. Upon reading his brother's blog comments, Oba confronted Akano and thus confirmed him as his twin brother's killer because when Akano (who did not know about the existence of the twin brothers) reacted with a snide comment at Oba's apparent survival.

Oba decided to kill Akano to avenge his brother, but he was incriminated because he wore his brother's Noir Tokyo T-shirt with the name Higo, which would have earned him the Noir fans' undivided wrath if he had actually attended the game as a live spectator while wearing it. Oba had overlooked that fact because he wasn't an avid soccer fan and had followed the match via radio to avoid having Akano disappear into the crowd. Another evidence to incriminate him was an imprint of the knife's sheath on the inside of his upper arm, where Oba had kept it hidden in readiness to deliver his deathblow to Akano.

{{BeginBox}}
{{People|Mr. Oba|EP280-Mr Oba.png|

{{People|Mrs. Oba|EP280-Mrs Oba.jpg|
* Oba twins's mother}}
{{EndBox}}

Oba wonders that if a Noir Tokyo fan had notice the T-Shirt and had called out to him, maybe it would have put a stop to his murder plans. If someone just had said: 'What do you think you are doing?'</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
* In the manga version, Oba only states what the victim Akano said to him, while in the anime Akano says it himself as a flashback.

== Trivia ==
* The stadium is [[Wikipedia: Ajinomoto Stadium|Ajinomoto Stadium]], Nishimachi, Chofu, Tokyo.
* This episode marks the final use of the original vocal version of the Detective Conan Main Theme.

A remastered version of the episode aired on April 7, and April 14, 2012.

=== Situation ===
Because of Kogoro's love for horses, he takes Ran and Conan to an OK corral ranch in Kisarazu, a city from Chiba Prefecture. One of their prize winning horses gets spooked and they all go running after her. They reach the horse and Conan finds blood on her horseshoe. They then find the farrier, the one who shoes the horses, murdered.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>They find out that Sugiyama had been meeting with a businessman, Mochizuki, who wanted to buy the ranch. They planned to ruin breeding process so that there wouldn't be any more horses that would save the ranch. Conan deduces that it wasn't an accident and that someone gave the horse chocolate which is stimulant for horses. But it wasn't the cause for the death and was a cover-up for the real criminal. The criminal is '''Hirohito Ninomiya''' and Okusu was the one who's covering for him. The murder weapon was the horseshoe that, in his haste, he put on the horse incorrectly. Hirohito confesses and had killed the farrier accidentally in self-defense after confronting him about his business dealings.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* This case is named after the famous [[Wikipedia: Gunfight at the O.K. Corral|Gunfight at the O.K. Corral]].
* Motoo Sugiyama's car is a 1996 red BMW Z3 [E36/7].
* While in the episode chocolate is said to be a stimulant for horses, in reality chocolate is potentially lethal for most animals aside from humans, due to the presence of a chemical known as theobromine, which humans do have a tolerance to, though animals like dogs and cats and possibly even horses would get very sick if they ingested enough chocolate or even die from.

Kogoro Mouri gets an invitation for an engagement party from his favorite idol, Yoko Okino. Kaoru is the one who is getting engaged is another star and a former member of a group they all used to be in. She is a fan of Kogoro Mouri and wanted him to find out who was stalking her. Kaoru decides to take a bath. And the rest of the girl group decide to dress up and sing their old song to surprise her. Conan discovers blood leading to the door and they find her attacked. Bloody clothes are found outside which were made to make it seem like it was Kaoru's stalker but really is someone at the party.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The hospital calls and informs them that Kaoru's surgery went well. Meanwhile, Conan confronts the culprit, '''Yuki Takeno''', Yuki used her sharp filed nail as a weapon and used a fake nail to cover it. The evidence is the kissmark on the whiteboard that has Kaoru's blood on it due to Yuki's discovery that Kaoru has no nail cutter so she used her teeth and Kaoru's blood got on Yuki's lips. Her motive is that she has crush on Kenzaki and she thought that the fake engagement was just Kaoru playing prank on her emotion. She attempted to commit suicide to pay for her crime of trying to kill Kaoru with hypoglycemic drug, but Conan saved her life using sugar sticks. When Yuki woke up in the hospital Kaoru said that she testified wrongly to cover for Yuki and felt sorry that she wasn't aware of Yuki's crush on Kenzaki. Kaoru revealed that the rumor of the engagement was to get her manager to have enough courage to confess her and later they become engaged (Kaoru wants to get married at age 20 like [[Yukiko Kudo]]). It is later revealed that Terumi has idolized Shinichi.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* As episode 249 ends with Terumi bringing up how Megure needs to still find the murder weapon to deduce the suspect, Conan wonders what feeling he's getting off of her.
* The anime cuts out the scene where Ran and Yoko asks Yuki about Kaoru's status.

== Trivia ==
* In this case, Kogoro is wearing the Yoko headband that Masayo Aoshima was wearing in [[The Locked Bathroom Murder Case]].
* Although Terumi Hoshino appeared on a poster in The Locked Bathroom Murder Case, this is the first time with her having a speaking role.
* Kogoro told Conan that these four female idols are referred to as the four 'Earth Ladies', since:
** Kaoru Kusano represent the fields, Kusa meaning grass (草);
** Yuki Takeno represents the glaciers at the top of the mountains, Take meaning peak (岳);
** Terumi Hoshino represents the stars in the sky, Hoshi meaning star (星);
** Yoko Okino represents the water and oceans, Oki meaning the high seas (沖).
*** This may be a reference to the popular American music group Earth, Wind and Fire.

The {{nihongo|'''Voice-Changing Bowtie'''|蝶ネクタイ型変声機|Chō Nekutai-gata Henseiki}} is the first gadget created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] for [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].

== Description ==

By turning the dial on the back Conan is able to imitate all kinds of voices that he hears. When Conan isn't wearing the bowtie, he'll usually store it away in a pocket until he needs it. This gadget is usually used together with the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], prior to receiving it, Conan was shown to knock Kogoro unconscious by kicking an ashtray, though there are some cases he solves as Kogoro such as [[episode 95]] where Kogoro is knocked out by accident, forcing Conan to use his bow tie.

Voice changing bow tie has a megaphone mode as shown in File 998.

There is a white version of the bow tie as shown only in episode 505-506, and 520.

=== Technical details ===

[[File:vlcsnap-2019-01-05-11h48m34s096.png|thumb|left|Bowtie Specifications]]
The theory behind the Voice-Changing Bowtie is that it works on a frequency modifier system based on patterns from the voice it is to emulate. Voice changers are real technology.

In the real world the Voice-Changing Bowtie has many flaws, such as the frequency response for the size of the speakers in the bowtie wouldn't be able to reproduce frequency of a voice realistically. The frequency modifier, in most cases, wouldn't be able reproduce the subtle but also distinguishable variations of another persons voice. In order to even change the sound in the first place they will need components such as a mic, speaker, processor and powerful batteries to keep it all running. Last but not least the Voice-Changing Bowtie needs to have Conan voice inverted to cancel out his voice completely, otherwise it would be present and noticeable. As this is a fictional drama with many factual references take it with a grain of salt that this is subject to a persons imagination, but these types of technology can and will be possible in the near future if they utilise extremely thin and small magnetic speakers which can accurately reproduce the frequencies accordingly, and the other components reduce drastically in size.

==Usage==
''Under Construction''

In most cases, Conan will use the bowtie to simulate Kogoro's voice; and less frequently Sonoko's to solve a case, and in other cases he's had Agasa lip sync or phoned in as Shinichi Kudo to solve the case, and a handful of times has solved cases as Misao Yamamura. In some unique situations, Conan used the bowtie to take other people's voices, such as Heiji Hattori in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case|Holmes Freak Murder]] or Eri Kisaki in [[Magician of the Silver Sky]]. The voice-changing function on the bowtie works by turning the dial behind the left bow to a different preset number. In the anime [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Luxury_Liner_Serial_Murder_Case Episode 23], Conan mentioned in his inner speech that Kogoro Mouri's voice is stored in preset number 59.
===Kogoro Mouri===
Below is the list of episodes in which Conan mimicked Kogoro's voice. "???" means that the information needs to be verified.

The {{nihongo|'''Voice-Changing Bowtie'''|蝶ネクタイ型変声機|Chō Nekutai-gata Henseiki}} is the first gadget created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] for [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].

== Description ==

By turning the dial on the back Conan is able to imitate all kinds of voices that he hears. When Conan isn't wearing the bowtie, he'll usually store it away in a pocket until he needs it. This gadget is usually used together with the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], prior to receiving it, Conan was shown to knock Kogoro unconscious by kicking an ashtray, though there are some cases he solves as Kogoro such as [[episode 95]] where Kogoro is knocked out by accident, forcing Conan to use his bow tie.

Voice changing bow tie has a megaphone mode as shown in File 998.

There is a white version of the bow tie as shown only in episode 505-506, and 520.

=== Technical details ===

[[File:vlcsnap-2019-01-05-11h48m34s096.png|thumb|left|Bowtie Specifications]]
The theory behind the Voice-Changing Bowtie is that it works on a frequency modifier system based on patterns from the voice it is to emulate. Voice changers are real technology.

In the real world the Voice-Changing Bowtie has many flaws, such as the frequency response for the size of the speakers in the bowtie wouldn't be able to reproduce frequency of a voice realistically. The frequency modifier, in most cases, wouldn't be able reproduce the subtle but also distinguishable variations of another persons voice. In order to even change the sound in the first place they will need components such as a mic, speaker, processor and powerful batteries to keep it all running. Last but not least the Voice-Changing Bowtie needs to have Conan voice inverted to cancel out his voice completely, otherwise it would be present and noticeable. As this is a fictional drama with many factual references take it with a grain of salt that this is subject to a persons imagination, but these types of technology can and will be possible in the near future if they utilise extremely thin and small magnetic speakers which can accurately reproduce the frequencies accordingly, and the other components reduce drastically in size.

==Usage==
''Under Construction''

In most cases, Conan will use the bowtie to simulate Kogoro's voice; and less frequently Sonoko's to solve a case, and in other cases he's had Agasa lip sync or phoned in as Shinichi Kudo to solve the case, and a handful of times has solved cases as Misao Yamamura. In some unique situations, Conan used the bowtie to take other people's voices, such as Heiji Hattori in the [[Holmes Freak Murder Case|Holmes Freak Murder]] or Eri Kisaki in [[Magician of the Silver Sky]]. The voice-changing function on the bowtie works by turning the dial behind the left bow to a different preset number. In the anime [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Luxury_Liner_Serial_Murder_Case Episode 23], Conan mentioned in his inner speech that Kogoro Mouri's voice is stored in preset number 59.
===Kogoro Mouri===
Below is the list of episodes in which Conan mimicked Kogoro's voice. "???" means that the information needs to be verified.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Sonoko, Ran, Eisuke, and Conan were hiking to Sonoko's Gunma Prefecture mountain villa when they discovered the bridge leading to the lodge had collapsed due to disrepair. Out of range of mobile phone signals, they went to a neighbouring villa to request the use of the house phone, and learned that it was recently bought over by a music group "Dorcus" as a den for composing new music.

The band members revealed that they got the villa dirt cheap as it was supposed to be haunted. The seller had originally built it together with his older brother.

After moving in a while, the older brother declared an evil spirit had invaded the house. Despite nailing shut one of the casement windows on the second floor which he claimed was used by the malevolent presence, the older brother went into despair. One of the servants claimed to have seen the sealed window opened with a peering face behind it. Shortly afterwards, the older brother's wife was found dead, hung in a classical locked-room scenario. This was followed by the older brother's suicide. The younger brother decided to get rid of the property.

While waiting for Sonoko's sister, Ayako, to pick them up, Ran and her friends walked around the villa. Eisuke suddenly announced he saw a peering face from the sealed window which mysteriously opened briefly. They rushed into the house and discovered one of the band members hung dead in the same room as the older brother's wife, and in the same locked room style.

Inspector Misao Yamamura arrived to investigate. Conan also tries to gather clues to help, but is limited to what he can do when a sneaky Eisuke starts to spy and watch him. Conan has to use different tactics so he won't seem suspicious to him.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan sends a mail to Detective Yamamura as Kogoro telling him who the actual culprit is. The culprit is '''Yoji Kuramoto'''. He escaped her room by using a secret entrance, that one of the former owners, the oldest of two rich brothers, had built. The older brother build the passage to be able to spy on a birdhouse, which his wife and his younger brother used to signal their time of their affair. The older brother pretended to have seen a demon to shut the window and build the secret passage. He in fact only shut the left half of the window adding a fake window pane at the left of it leaving the right half of it behind the walls of the secret passage where he would be able to spy on them. He might have killed his wife and committed suicide out of guilt. The younger brother and his wife are in fact not involved in the past case and are innocent. Yoji admits his guilt and say that he killed Rinko in a fit of anger after she insulted his favorite musicians and said that he should start over because he didn't fit in the new trend. Upon going in the secret passage, he saw the rope that was used to kill the older brother's wife and decided to kill Rinko with it. The proof is that because Conan pointed out that the encyclopedias at the bottom of Rinko's room's bookshelf aren't in order, Yoji at night went in the passage to replace them since they were in front of the passage to avoid the police noticing the oddity and was seen by Sonoko, Ran, Eisuke, the other band members and Yamamura. In the end, Conan said to himself, that the reason that he didn't put Detective Yamamura or Sonoko to sleep is because he noticed Eisuke was watching him.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* The three musicians' vehicle is a medium cadet blue metallic 2005 Chevrolet Astro.
* The Sonoko's villa which appears at the beginning is the one from [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]].
** Ryoichi Takahashi who was present during that case is shown again in a background sequence.
* Though Conan opts to not knock out Misao Yamamura or Sonoko Suzuki like he had in previous cases, part of why he likely didn't just knock out Eisuke Hondou may be due to him wanting to avoid the situation he went through in [[Holmes Freak Murder Case|The Holmes Freak Murder Case]] with Heiji Hattori where after knocking Hattori out, Hattori regained consciousness partway through Conan's deduction and discovered that he's Shinichi Kudo as a result.

Conan knocks out Kogoro with his stun gun wristwatch and begins to reveal his deductions with the voice changing bowtie. It was no suicide but it was actually a murder. Someone had this planned out right from the beginning. The person could have suggested, something like this to Mishima, that they should put up an act at the party, so that they could give people a scare. For this act, they quarreled before everybody so as to lay the setting for today.

The killer is '''Osamu Honda'''. Honda first modified two guns of the same model and then prepared two different kind of bullets. First which would be a real bullet, and the other one an empty blank. The gun that Honda gave to Mishima before the whole performance was the one with blanks. Before the official opening for the party in the morning, Honda met Mishima at the temple and handed over the gun to him and brought the gun that had the real bullets inside. Honda's excuse would be that he needed to check the gun. That means that the gun on Honda's waist is Mishima's gun. The gun that Honda gave to Mishima wasn't sealed at all because he was afraid it would be involved afterwards. Honda chose a Laser Police costume instead of the Kamen Yaiba costume he usually wore. That's because only the Laser Police have guns, and it also wouldn't be strange if he wore a bullet-proof vest.

Just when Mishima dashed in, Honda purposely moved a few steps so that the other people wouldn't be caught in the fray. This also let Mishima get a good aim at his target. Since Mishima had no knowledge of guns, he didn't feel like anything was wrong when he fired the gun. Honda had considered the gunshot and the movement as nothing strange as they had practiced with Mishima. So when Honda saw Mishima being shot down, he misunderstood it, since it had the same effect as when they were practicing, and believed that it was going as they had planned beforehand. Mishima didn't commit suicide because if he was someone who really wanted to commit suicide, he would have pressed the gun to his temple and pulled the trigger. There should be burn mark on his temple. Mishima doesn't have any burn marks on his temple, because even it was a blank, it would still have left some burns. At that time, he didn't want to hurt himself and didn't press the gun against his head.

As evidence, the crime scene investigator found that they were other fingerprints on the gun besides Mishima's. The fingerprint on Mishima's gun and the fingerprint on Genta's Detective Boys Badge (which Conan gave it to the crime scene investigator to check it) is the same. The other fingerprint belongs to Genta. Genta never touched Mishima's gun, but then why were Genta's fingerprints found on the gun? Before Honda went to the party, Conan and the Detective Boys met Honda at the temple. At that time, Genta touched the gun. That means, that the gun Honda had on was later used by Mishima at the party. It proves that Honda's gun has been swapped with Mishima's.

=== Motive ===
Some time ago Mishima, who was a Kamen Yaiba fan to the point of mental illness, had stolen Honda's little brother's extremely rare Kamen Yaiba poster while he was riding his motorcycle; the poor boy ran after Mishima's motorcycle and was hit by a truck, dying two days later. In his last words, the younger Honda begged his brother to "capture that Kamen Yaiba".

Honda joined many fan clubs to find the person who had caused his brother's death. A year and a half after the accident, he found his brother's poster in Mishima's apartment. Mishima himself lied and said it was a gift from his own brother, though Honda knew that Mishima had no siblings with the name Hiroshi. Honda then engineered the meeting of Kamen Yaiba fans to trick the mentally-unbalanced Mishima into first shooting him, then committing suicide under the belief that it was all an act.

Honda also comments that he at first only joined the Kamen Yaiba fan clubs for the sole purpose of revenge, however slowly but surely that reason started dissipating. He had gotten genuinely hooked on Kamen Yaiba, and to him it was no coincidence as Kamen Yaiba had a similar backstory to his. Kamen Yaiba had lost his little sister and had vowed to bring all those who are evil to justice, he comments that they similar backstorys with different circumstances and that are very alike. However, Ayumi scolds him saying he is nothing like Kamen yaiba, Genta and Mitshiko comment on how Kamen Yaiba always did the right thing. Madoka agrees with them stating that after Kamen Yaiba lost his little sister he wanted to help people, not hurt them. Hearing this leaves, Honda shocked and ashamed of himself as he lowers his head in shame.</spoiler>

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
In Frankfurt, an [[Wikipedia: Europol|Europol]] agent is being chased by [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] and [[Gin]]. Although Kir tries to help her escape, Gin eventually murders the agent. Some time later, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], the [[Detective Boys]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] are invited to the resort at Hachijo-jima, owned by [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]]'s family. Conan later receives information from [[Subaru Okiya|Subaru]] about the Europol agent who was murdered and a new [[Black Organization]] agent known as [[Pinga]] is on the move.

Having discovered [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Shiratori]] and [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]], Conan secretly went after them to an [[Wikipedia: Interpol|Interpol]] underwater facility known as the Pacific Buoy. The facility hosts a new state-of-the-art system that allows them to connect to all the surveillance cameras in Japan, Europe, and eventually all over the world. Headed by Yosuke Makino, four other engineers (Ed from India, Grace from France, Leonhardt from Germany, and Naomi Argento from United States) also work in the facility. Another function of the system is the "All-Age Recognition" system, which uses facial recognition and [[Wikipedia: Artificial intelligence|AI]] reconstruction of a person’s facial structure to identify individuals whose age may have differed from the source material.

At the same time [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and [[Vermouth]] have secretly infiltrated the Pacific Buoy and arranged for the kidnapping of Naomi Argento, holding her captive in a submarine. They along with [[Vodka]] and Kir discover from Naomi's flash drive that was hidden in her necklace that the All-Age Recognition system had apparently identified [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] as [[Shiho Miyano]].

}}

That same night, [[Chianti]], Vodka, and Pinga kidnap Haibara from Sonoko's resort. Conan and Agasa try to chase after them, but unfortunately witness Vodka and Pinga driving their vehicle with Haibara into the sea to board their submarine underwater. The incident was reported to Kuroda, and Conan asked to use the Buoy's surveillance system to check the security cameras on the route of the car chase and the presence of the submarine, but they discovered that no submarine or vehicles were caught on the camera, seemingly indicating that the system had been tampered with.

However, Leonhardt had figured out who the person responsible for tampering with the surveillance footage was and tried to confront the culprit, but was drugged and was seen on the cctv camera committing suicide via poisoning in the Buoy's Cafe. The confession letter apparently written by Leonhardt also mentioned that he was responsible for the [[Wikipedia: Backdoor (computing)|Backdoor]] in the Buoy's system.

Meanwhile, Vodka tried to force Naomi to tell them how to use the All-Age Recognition program, and when she refused to do so, he arranged for her father, a member of the European Parliament that proposed the use of the surveillance system, to be killed.

Later on, Vermouth informed Gin that after running the All-Age Recognition system once again, she discovered that the system is able to pick up the image of other people with similar faces, but not necessarily the same person, indicating that the system is flawed. Frustrated by this development and following orders from [[Kanenori Wakita|Rum]], Gin decided to use the submarine to destroy the Buoy. However, when he tried to confront Haibara and Naomi, he discovered that the two had escaped from the submarine using the clues provided by Kir.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan went back to the Buoy and revealed through Kogoro that the person who murdered Leonhardt is '''Grace'''. Grace murdered Leonhardt as he had examined the access log and discovered that Grace was the only person who accessed the camera footage. Grace is then revealed to be '''Pinga''', who used the [[Wikipedia: Deepfake|Deepfake]] method to fake Leonhardt’s suicide footage and tried to escape from the Buoy. With the submarine set to attack the Buoy, Conan tries to light the position of the submarine from underwater and arranged for [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]] to launch a rocket that severely damaged the submarine, forcing the Black Organization to flee from the submarine. Pinga dies from the blast when the submarine exploded as Gin had intentionally left him there to die. Conan later loses consciousness underwater, only to be rescued by Haibara who went after him and took him to the surface.

During the mid-credits scene, the Detective Boys reunite with Conan and Haibara. [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] is seen visiting Nina's grave with Hans. It is revealed on the news that Naomi's father had survived the attempted murder by the black organization.

In the post credit scene, the Pacific Buoy project is reported to have been moved to another country. Naomi realizes that Haibara is in fact Shiho Miyano, a friend who shielded her from being bullied when they studied in the United States. Furuya told Conan that the flaw in the system is revealed to have been staged by Vermouth, who disguised herself as Sherry and appeared in security camera footages around [[Wikipedia: Shibuya|Shibuya]], [[Wikipedia: Okinawa (city)|Okinawa]], and [[Wikipedia: Manila|Manila]], to hide the fact that Haibara is Shiho Miyano. An elderly woman whom Haibara earlier in the movie had offered her ticket to purchase a [[Fusae Brand|Fusae Campbell-branded ginkgo leaf pin]] is revealed to be Vermouth, who thinks to herself that [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]] should figure out the [[Renya Karasuma|reason she helped fabricate the flaw in the system]] himself.</spoiler>

The soundtrack is directed by [[Yugo Kanno]], who took the role from [[Katsuo Ohno]] in the previous movie.
