<div>[[File:702 e.png|thumb|right|Haibara remebering Elena's tapes. The tape for her 18th birthday revealed the existence of "Silver Bullet". Tape's contents were revealed between two flashbacks.]]<br />
<br />
"Silver Bullet" is the name given to a mysterious drug created by [[Elena Miyano]] and [[Atsushi Miyano]] for the [[Black Organization]]. <br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[Elena Miyano#Elena.27s Mysterious Death|In a tape left for Shiho]]<ref>Bathroom Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423-425]]; Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]])</ref>, Elena reveals she had been working on "a truly terrifying drug" the Miyano parents called the ''Silver Bullet''.<ref>Mystery Train (Manga: [[Volume 78#Mystery Train|821, 823-824]]; Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|702, 704]])</ref> It was something incredible enough that Elena said they were "putting their hopes on it",<ref name=821p7>Manga Chapter 821, pg 7: "Mystery Train 「Junction」"</ref> and Elena's lab mates had taken to calling it "a dream drug". It was important enough that Elena and Atsushi had to leave behind [[Shiho Miyano|Shiho]] and [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] in order to complete the drug.<ref name=821p7/><br />
<br />
After thinking about this message left by Elena, [[Ai Haibara]] expresses her resentment that she had only later realized that the drug was something that should have never been made.<ref name=821p7/><br />
<br />
The research related to Silver Bullet may have partially or wholly destroyed by a fire which destroyed much of the Miyanos' research and apparently took their lives.<ref>'''Haibara:''' And the fact that <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[Kohji Haneda]]'s] name was on the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869_Victims|list of victims]] who were given [[APTX 4869]], I'd say there's a good chance that [[Asaka]] was one of the members of the Black Organization!<br><br />
'''Conan:''' I don't get it. Kohji Haneda was killed 17 years ago. Then why is his name under mine in the list?<br><br />
'''Haibara:''' Perhaps the person who compiled the list wasn't going by chronological order. Maybe it was sorted by blood type or something.<br><br />
'''Conan:''' Wait a minute, so the drug that I was forced to take existed 17 years ago? And you are its creator? How old are you really?<br> <br />
'''Haibara:''' How rude. I've told you before. I am 18 now. Perhaps it was an early prototype of a drug made by my parents. The information for the drug that I created was mostly taken from the burnt remains of the data that my parents left behind.<br><br />
'''Conan:''' Burnt remains? What do you mean?<br> <br />
'''Haibara:''' Well, the research lab that my parents worked in caught fire, and along with them, most of their research materials were burnt. I heard from the other members of the Organization that it was an accident.<br><br />
''Well, what I was really ordered to make was another drug, however...<!-- SPIMER EXACT TRANS FOR THIS ONE LINE-->''<br>Manga [[Volume 89]], File 11 (948), Pages 3-4: "The Clenched Scissors"<br />
</ref> If some of it survived, it's possible that Shiho Miyano may have incorporated it into one of her modern projects. At the current time, it is still unstated how [[Silver Bullet]], [[APTX 4869]], and any other research projects the Black Organization are related to one another. <br />
<br />
== Quotes ==<br />
{{cquote|Shiho, won't you regret what you are about to do? If so, I'm totally on your side! Well, it will be you nineteenth birthday next time. Bye-bye, honey. Oh yes, maybe it's about time I told you... The truth is, your mom is making a truly ''terrifying'' drug at the moment. My lab mates are getting really excited about it, they say it's like a dream drug. Your dad and I are putting all our hopes on it and calling it the [[Silver Bullet (drug)|Silver Bullet]]! But in order to complete the drug, your dad and I will have to leave you and your sister. Please understand, Shiho.|Part of Elena's message on Shiho's 18th tape.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 4 (821), pgs 7-8: "Mystery Train: Junction"</ref>}}<br />
<br />
== Speculation ==<br />
=== "Silver Bullet" and "APTX 4869" are two names for the same project ===<br />
:''See also: [[APTX 4869]]''<br />
It is unclear whether Silver Bullet is the Miyano parents' personal nickname for what is currently called [[APTX 4869]], or if it was a closely related project they developed in parallel. Whatever the case, the Miyanos' Silver Bullet drug and Shiho's APTX 4869 are probably closely linked if not the same in-development drug. <br />
<br />
Haibara took over her parents' research after they died by reconstructing their work from surviving fragments after a lab fire which supposedly killed her parents.<ref>Manga [[Volume 89]], File 11 (948), Pages 3-4: "The Clenched Scissors"</ref> One of these projects was the [[APTX 4869]] project. The proof some version of APTX 4869 existed in the Miyano parents' time lies in a [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|death list]] which includes the name of [[Kohji Haneda|a man]] killed with the drug [[Case from 17 years ago|17 years prior]] to the current timeline. Because Shiho had to reconstruct her parents' research from the fragments that survived, intentionally or unintentionally, it's possible that some of what the Miyanos called the [[Silver Bullet]] became incorporated into Shiho's modern version of [[APTX 4869]].<br />
<br />
Regardless of what the parents' version of APTX 4869 was intended for, those characters who know about the shrinking side effect of Shiho's modern version of APTX 4869 have a tendency to compare it to the Miyanos' research. After watching Haibara shrink, Pisco, who knew about the project the Miyanos worked on, commented that Shiho's parents would be proud of the progress Shiho had made on the drug.<ref name=V24-11p9>Manga [[Volume 24]], File 11, page 9: "The White World"</ref> During her recollection of the tapes, Haibara was holding and considering the antidote to APTX 4869. She then regrets that she didn't understand the drug was something that should have never been made, strongly implying she had worked on the same drug as well.<ref name=821p7/> Lastly, [[Vermouth]], who opposed the Miyanos' research seems to have transposed her distaste onto Shiho's research and Shiho herself.<ref>"If you [Shiho] want to blame someone, blame your parents who took over this foolish research." Episode 345</ref> <br />
<br />
It is also notable that Vermouth has been a part of the Black Organization long enough to have heard the Miyanos use the name "Silver Bullet",<ref>Vermouth has been in the Organization at least 20 years dated by when she assassinated Jodie's father which is more time than the theoretical maximum 18 years the tapes could be recorded -- dated to Shiho's conception.</ref> and may have given Conan the same nickname in reference to his deaged state caused by the drug.<br />
<br />
During the conversation, where Conan and Haibara discuss APTX 4869 and it's connection to Kohji Haneda's death, Haibara thought 'what they (the organization) wanted me to make, was another drug'. Its possible that the 'other drug' was the intended result of the APTX 4869 research, and maybe that drug had the name 'Silver Bullet'.<br />

<div>[[File:APTX 4869.jpg|thumb|right|250px|APTX 4869]]<br />
'''APTX {{nihongo|4869|四八六九|Yon-Hachi-Roku-Kyū}}''', nicknamed "Prototype Detective" by members of the Black Organization, is a fictional toxin and derivative of an experimental formula of unknown purpose developed by [[Shiho Miyano]], which is used by the [[Black Organization]] as an untraceable, lethal poison. Right now, there is a [[prototype antidote]] for it made by Shiho.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
[[File:APTX 4869 victim list.jpg|thumb|left|Haibara recalls [[List_of_Black_Organization_related_characters#APTX_4869_Victims|a list of all of the victims APTX was used to kill]]. Only Shinichi's death was unconfirmed.]]<br />
APTX is an abbreviation of "Apoptoxin," and, as the name implies, it involves the activation of [[wikipedia:apoptosis|apoptosis]]: the mechanism by which cells kill themselves. APTX contains ingredients which have other functions as well. It contains a component which activates [[wikipedia:telomerase|telomerase]]: an enzyme which lengthens the caps at the end of DNA whose length limits the number of times a cell can divide.<ref>Manga Volume 24, File 10</ref> <br />
<br />
In practice, most of the time APTX 4869 works as a lethal poison. [[Gin]] says it can't be detected when used, possibly indicating it leaves few traces that forensic examination could uncover. However, as said by [[Ai Haibara]], a rare side effect can in fact de-age victims. When talking about her own and Conan's shrinking, she said that the side effect causes everything apart from the nervous system to revert back to a childlike state,<ref>“[Shrinking] is an unexpected side effect. The nervous system is unaffected, but everything else—bones, muscle tissue, internal organs, hair – reverts to a childlike state” (VIZ english version of the quote in volume 18 file 8.)</ref><ref>[[Episode 129]]</ref> but the adult personality and memories remain intact.<!--However, in very rare cases, it causes the apoptosis of non-neural cells only and the apoptosis stabilizes at some point, causing the victim's apparent age to be decreased while leaving higher thought processes, memory, and personality unaltered--><br />
<br />
[[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], the series' protagonist, was forced by Gin and Vodka to take the poison with the intention of killing him silently due to the police being around in [[Episode 1]]. Later [[Shiho Miyano]], was set to be executed for being a possible loose end after Gin and Vodka killed her sister Akemi. Instead of letting herself be murdered, Shiho took her own poison intending to commit suicide; however, her body was reverted back to a childhood state like Shinichi's.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
[[Atsushi Miyano]] and [[Elena Miyano]] joined the Black Organization as researchers thirty years before the present timeline<ref name=f423>[[Volume_41#File_423_-_A_Mystery_Left_by_a_Visitor|Volume 41, File 423: "A Mystery Left by a Visitor"]]</ref> and started developing APTX 4869. [[Vermouth]] may have hinted that there was an earlier project that the Miyanos assumed control over when they joined,<ref>“If you [Shiho] want to blame someone, blame your parents '''who took over''' this foolish research.” Episode 345</ref> perhaps the one Shiho implied was at least 50 years old.<ref>Manga [[Volume 19]], File 9 (189): "The Endangered Ball "; Episodes [[Episode 130|130]]-[[Episode 131|131]] "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century."</ref> Regardless, the pair worked on APTX 4869 until they met their untimely deaths in a labratory fire<ref>Manga [[Volume 89]], File 11 (948), Pages 3-4: "The Clenched Scissors"</ref> which destroyed much of their research, leaving their daughter [[Shiho Miyano]] behind and the project in an unfinished state. The Miyano parents' version of the APTX 4869 was used to kill at least one person, [[Kohji Haneda]] who was murdered 17 years ago and included on Shiho's list of APTX victims.<br />
<br />
Shiho was then groomed to take over their APTX 4869 research project.<ref name="387p7">Manga [[Volume 38]], File 2 (384), pg 7: "An unexpected Treasure"</ref><ref>Manga [[Volume 89]], File 11 (948), Pages 3-4: "The Clenched Scissors</ref> She was educated overseas in America<ref name="387p7"/> before returning to Japan at or before she was 13<ref>13 is the latest age she was codenamed by according to Akai Shuuichi's version of events.</ref>. Shiho advanced the drug to the point where she observed at least one of her lab mice reverting in age.<ref>Shiho's intro when she first explains APTX to Shinichi</ref> She was also ordered to test the most recent, yet still incomplete, version of APTX 4869 on [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]], a failed assassin. Shiho received the data about him, but he managed to escape the Black Organization before she could test it on him. The drug was still considered incomplete by the time it was used on [[Shinichi Kudo]]<ref>APTX's nickname is incomplete detective</ref>, but [[Pisco]] implied that Shiho had advanced it significantly since her parents' tenure<ref>[[Volume 24]]</ref>. Shiho boycotted her work, when she couldn't get any answer to why her sister had died. To die by her own hand, she used the poison and ended up getting shrunk, which made her able to escape. It is unknown if the Black Organization has found replacement researchers to continue work on the APTX 4869 project after Shiho's defection.<br />
<br />
Sometime during APTX's development, the Black Organization decided to use the incomplete form as a poison for stealthy murder, since it could kill without leaving trace in the victim.<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
APTX 4869 is a pun on "Sherlock Holmes". 4869 can also be pronounced <!--The 8 is read with yattsu's "ya", not hachi's 'ha". That makes the katakana シャロク Sharoku -->"Shi-Ya-Ro-Ku" (シャロク ''Sharoku'')<ref>Manga [[Volume 24]], File 10 (241), Page 11: "The Bullet from the Past"</ref>, which translates into Sherlock. Adding to the pun, the password for the APTX data is "Shellingford"<ref>Manga [[Volume 24]], File 10 (241), page 11: " The Bullet from the Past". This has been confirmed to be spelled as "Shellingford" in the original Japanese.</ref>, an unintentional misspelling of "Sherrinford", which was the name Arthur Conan Doyle called his detective character before deciding on "Sherlock".<ref>"The name comes from Arthur Conan Doyle's earliest notes for A Study in Scarlet, which gave the great detective's name as "Sherrinford Holmes" and that of his medical companion as "Ormond Sacker"." {{cite web|url=http://www.sherlockian.net/societies/baringgould.html|date=2010|accessdate=2012-01-28|publisher=Chris Redmond|title=Sherlockian.Net: William S. Baring-Gould}}</ref> The password and the pun name seem to be related to why several members of the Black Organization call APTX 4869 the "incomplete detective",<ref name="239p4">Manga [[Volume 24]], File 8 (239), pg 4: "The Black Burial Ranks ". Gin is conversing with Pisco and tells him, "Of course, it's up to you if you use the 'Incomplete Detective' or not...". Earlier on the phone, Gin had mentioned it was fine if Pisco used the drug which both Haibara and Conan took to mean APTX 4869.</ref><ref name="241p11">Manga [[Volume 24]], File 10 (241), page 11: "A Bullet from the Past". Haibara tells Conan that "the members of the Organization sometimes gave this uncompleted drug a nickname... 'the Incomplete Detective'."</ref> implying APTX 4869 is not finished yet.<br />
<br />
== Antidote ==<br />
:''Main article: [[Prototype antidote]]''<br />
[[File:APTX 4869 given to Shinichi.jpg|thumb|150px|Gin poisons Shinichi.]]<br />
Throughout the series there are several instances in which the APTX was temporarily neutralized and Shinichi and Shiho were returned to their actual age forms. The main ingredient for this reversal is a component found in [[baijiu]], which Haibara has already incorporated in a prototype antidote for the APTX.<ref name="TGDOTW">Manga [[Volume 10]], Files 4-5 (092-095): "The Great Detective of the West"</ref><br />
<br />
It is notable that in the instances where Shinichi or Shiho were successfully changed back, the recipient was suffering from a common cold while the component was ingested, indicating that the immune system somehow has to be taxed for the antidote to work.<ref name="TGDOTW"/><ref name="241p">Manga [[Volume 24]], File 10 (241): "The Bullet from the Past"</ref><ref>Manga [[Volume 26]], Files 2-4 (255-257): "School Play Case"</ref> The only apparent [[canon]] exception was Shinichi's reversion in the London arc. While not canon, ''[[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]'' uses this idea as Conan is given a pill to give him the symptoms of a cold, while drinking baijiu.<br />
<br />
Conan and Haibara briefly reverted to their true age while having rum cake (thought to contain among other things [[baijiu]]) in the live action drama ''[[Shinichi Kudo Returns! Confrontation with the Black Organization]]''.<br />
<br />
== Speculation ==<br />
<br />
=== Original intent ===<br />
At first, it was revealed by Gin that the APTX 4869 was a poison to kill people who know too much about the Black Organization. He used Shinichi as a guinea pig. Shiho Miyano said that she didn't intend to create a poison,<ref name="179p9">Manga [[Volume 18]], File 9 (179), page 9: "The Girl Made Of Lies"</ref> which suggests that APTX 4869 was originally developed with a different goal in mind. It probably was just a useful side effect that the current prototype kills while leaving no trace in the victim’s body, and was thus employed as a poison - a usage which Haibara detests.<ref name="179p9"/> Additionally, APTX 4869 is nicknamed the "''incomplete'' detective" by the Black Organization,<ref name="239p4"/><ref name="241p11"/> which means its true purpose has not yet been achieved. <br />
<br />
==== Immortality/anti-aging ====<br />
One possibility is that the goal of the APTX 4869 is to develop a therapy which will cause immortality, stall or reverse the effects of aging, or extend a human's lifespan. The de-aging effect that occurred when Shinichi and Haibara took APTX 4869 probably indicates the main intent of the drug's development. After [[Pisco]] saw Haibara shrink back to her child form, he commented that he was impressed she had developed the drug to that point, implying that deaging is in the right direction.<ref name="242p9">Manga [[Volume 24]], File 11, page 9: "The White World"</ref> Supporting this is Haibara’s line, "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century."<ref>Manga [[Volume 19]], File 9 (189): "The Endangered Ball "; Episodes [[Episode 130|130]]-[[Episode 131|131]]</ref> APTX 4869 is the only known intersection between Shinichi and the Black Organization; meaning that Shinichi's de-aging made him relevant to the Black Organization's project. <br />
<br />
According to Haibara’s description about APTX 4869<ref name="241p"/>, APTX 4869 activates [[wikipedia:telomerase|telomerase]], an enzyme which can increase the number of times a cell can divide, and therefore affect a cell's lifespan and “reproductive potential”. The goal of this might be to revert all non-neural cells to a "youthful", high reproductive potential state. [[Vermouth]]'s unnatural youth is another indicator that the Black Organization may be involved in research towards extending lifespan, halting aging, or rejuvenating the body. <br />
<br />
The goal of the antagonists in ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' is pursuing immortality, via the [[Pandora Gem]], but the goal of the Black Organization, as confirmed in one interview with Gosho Aoyama, is NOT immortality.<br />
<br />
====Raising the dead====<br />
The original purpose of APTX 4869 might be to raise the dead. Once when Conan asked Haibara directly what APTX 4869 was meant to do she replied, "It's a nostrum to raise the dead. I wonder if that answer is satisfactory?"<ref name=384p8>Manga [[Volume 38]], File 2, page 8: "The Old Picture"</ref> The context of the comment, however, makes it unclear if she was merely bluffing to provoke Conan into revealing that he had been looking into the Black Organization behind her back, rather than making a serious statement of the purpose of the drug.<br />
<br />
=== "Silver Bullet" and "APTX 4869" are two names for the same project ===<br />
:''See also: [[Silver Bullet (drug)]]''<br />
In a flashback, Shiho recalls the end of [[Elena_Miyano#Tapes_left_for_Shiho|the recorded message]] left by [[Elena Miyano|her mother]] which revealed Elena had been working on "a truly terrifying drug" the Miyano parents called the ''[[Silver Bullet]]''.<ref name=821p7>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 4 (821), pg 7: "Mystery Train 「Junction」"</ref> It is unclear whether Silver Bullet is the Miyano parents' personal nickname for what is currently called APTX 4869, or if it was a closely related project they developed in parallel. Whatever the case, the Miyanos' Silver Bullet drug and Shiho's APTX 4869 are probably closely linked if not the same in-development drug. <br />
<br />
Haibara took over her parents' research after they died by reconstructing their work from surviving fragments after a lab fire which supposedly killed her parents.<ref>Manga [[Volume 89]], File 11 (948), Pages 3-4: "The Clenched Scissors"</ref> One of these projects was the APTX 4869 project. The proof some version of APTX 4869 existed in the Miyano parents' time lies in a [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|death list]] which includes the name of [[Kohji Haneda|a man]] killed with the drug [[Case from 17 years ago|17 years prior]] to the current timeline. Because Shiho had to reconstruct her parents' research from the fragments that survived, intentionally or unintentionally, it's possible that some of what the Miyanos called the [[Silver Bullet]] became incorporated into Shiho's modern version of APTX 4869.<br />
<br />
Regardless of what the parents' version of APTX 4869 was intended for, those characters who know about the shrinking side effect of Shiho's modern version of APTX 4869 have a tendency to compare it to the Miyanos' research. After watching Haibara shrink, Pisco, who knew about the project the Miyanos worked on, commented that Shiho's parents would be proud of the progress Shiho had made on the drug.<ref name=V24-11p9>Manga [[Volume 24]], File 11, page 9: "The White World"</ref> During her recollection of the tapes, Haibara was holding and considering the antidote to APTX 4869. She then regrets that she didn't understand the drug was something that should have never been made, strongly implying she had worked on the same drug as well.<ref name=821p7/> Lastly, [[Vermouth]], who opposed the Miyanos' research seems to have transposed her distaste onto Shiho's research and Shiho herself.<ref>"If you [Shiho] want to blame someone, blame your parents who took over this foolish research." Episode 345</ref> <br />
<br />
It is also notable that Vermouth has been a part of the Black Organization long enough to have heard the Miyanos use the name "Silver Bullet",<ref>Vermouth has been in the Organization at least 20 years dated by when she assassinated Jodie's father which is more time than the theoretical maximum 18 years the tapes could be recorded -- dated to Shiho's conception.</ref> and may have given Conan the same nickname in reference to his deaged state caused by the drug. On the other hand, [[Shuichi Akai]] also has the nickname Silver Bullet, but no apparent connection to the drug other than dating Akemi Miyano, the sister/daughter of the drug's creators.<br />

=== "Silver Bullet" and "APTX 4869" are two names for the same project ===<br />
:''See also: [[APTX 4869]]''<br />
It is unclear whether Silver Bullet is the Miyano parents' personal nickname for what is currently called [[APTX 4869]], or if it was a closely related project they developed in parallel. Whatever the case, the Miyanos' Silver Bullet drug and Shiho's APTX 4869 are probably closely linked if not the same in-development drug. <br />
<br />
Haibara took over her parents' research after they died by reconstructing their work from surviving fragments after a lab fire which supposedly killed her parents.<ref>Manga [[Volume 89]], File 11 (948), Pages 3-4: "The Clenched Scissors"</ref> One of these projects was the [[APTX 4869]] project. The proof some version of APTX 4869 existed in the Miyano parents' time lies in a [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|death list]] which includes the name of [[Kohji Haneda|a man]] killed with the drug [[Case from 17 years ago|17 years prior]] to the current timeline. Because Shiho had to reconstruct her parents' research from the fragments that survived, intentionally or unintentionally, it's possible that some of what the Miyanos called the [[Silver Bullet]] became incorporated into Shiho's modern version of [[APTX 4869]].<br />
<br />
Regardless of what the parents' version of APTX 4869 was intended for, those characters who know about the shrinking side effect of Shiho's modern version of APTX 4869 have a tendency to compare it to the Miyanos' research. After watching Haibara shrink, Pisco, who knew about the project the Miyanos worked on, commented that Shiho's parents would be proud of the progress Shiho had made on the drug.<ref name=V24-11p9>Manga [[Volume 24]], File 11, page 9: "The White World"</ref> During her recollection of the tapes, Haibara was holding and considering the antidote to APTX 4869. She then regrets that she didn't understand the drug was something that should have never been made, strongly implying she had worked on the same drug as well.<ref name=821p7/> Lastly, [[Vermouth]], who opposed the Miyanos' research seems to have transposed her distaste onto Shiho's research and Shiho herself.<ref>"If you [Shiho] want to blame someone, blame your parents who took over this foolish research." Episode 345</ref> <br />
<br />
It is also notable that Vermouth has been a part of the Black Organization long enough to have heard the Miyanos use the name "Silver Bullet",<ref>Vermouth has been in the Organization at least 20 years dated by when she assassinated Jodie's father which is more time than the theoretical maximum 18 years the tapes could be recorded -- dated to Shiho's conception.</ref> and may have given Conan the same nickname in reference to his deaged state caused by the drug.<br />
<br />
During the conversation, where Conan and Haibara discuss APTX 4869 and it's connection to Kohji Haneda's death, Haibara thought 'what they (the organization) wanted me to make, was another drug'. Its possible that the 'other drug' was the intended result of the APTX 4869 research, and maybe that drug had the name 'Silver Bullet'.<br />

<br />
YES, THIS IS THE CORRECT ENGLISH NAME!<br />
<br />
-->[[File:Baijiu.jpg|thumb|upright|right|alt=Baijiu|A bottle of Baijiu]]'''''Baijiu''''' (Chinese: {{lang|zh|[[wikt:白酒|白酒]]}}; pinyin: báijiǔ), or '''''shaojiu''''' ({{lang|zh|[[wiktionary:烧|烧]][[wiktionary:酒|酒]]}}) is a Chinese distilled alcoholic beverage. The name ''baijiu'' literally means "white liquor," "white alcohol" or "white spirits". It is a temporary antidote for [[APTX 4869]], temporarily reverting [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Shiho Miyano]] to their teenager forms. Unfortunately, it only appears to work once.<br />
<br />
== Etymology and production ==<br />
{{rellink|extraclasses=noprint relarticle mainarticle|Main article: [[wikipedia:Baijiu|Baijiu]]}}<br />
''Baijiu'' is often mistakenly translated as "wine" or "white wine," but it is actually a [[wikipedia:distilled beverage|distilled]] liquor, generally about 80 to 120 [[wikipedia:Proof (alcohol)|proof]], or 40-60% alcohol by volume (ABV).<br />
<br />
[[wikipedia:Baijiu|''Baijiu'']] is a clear drink usually distilled from [[wikipedia:sorghum|sorghum]], although sometimes other grains may be used; ''baijiu'' varieties produced in southern China are typically made from glutinous rice, while those from northern China are generally made of sorghum, [[wikipedia:wheat|wheat]], [[wikipedia:barley|barley]], [[wikipedia:millet|millet]], or occasionally [[wikipedia:Job's tears|Job's tears]].<br />
<br />
The Japanese translation is {{lang|ja|パイチュウ}} (Paichū).<br />
<br />
== Appearance in DC ==<br />
[[File:Baijiu manga.jpg|thumb|upright|right|Conan remembers the bottle of Baijiu]]<br />
Baijiu appears in Volume 10/File 2/Page 9 (File 92, Heiji's introduction) and Volume 24/File 10/Page 9 (File 241, Haibara in Haido City Hotel) as {{lang|ja|<ruby>白乾児<rp>[</rp><rt>パイカル</rt><rp>]</rp></ruby>}} (Paikaru). A clearer picture of the bottle exists on Volume 10/File 6/Page 9, where the English "Bai Ganr" is barely legible above the Japanese.<br />
<br />
=== Speculation about the origins of the alcohol ===<br />
The label on the bottle is written in a mixture of Japanese and Chinese:<br />
:{{lang|ja|白乾児}} is Japanese; In Chinese it would be {{lang|zh|白乾兒}} in traditional, {{lang|zh|白干儿}} in simplified<br />
:{{lang|zh|古法乾式}} is not standard Chinese, roughly means "traditionally-made dry-type"<br />
:{{lang|zh|芳香千里}} however IS a Chinese phrase in common use, meaning roughly "renowned for its taste"<br />
This strongly suggests the bottle was imported by a Japanese company, vs. the alcohol having come directly from China through other means.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
== APTX antidote ==<br />
{{Main|Prototype antidote}}<br />
The baijiu gave [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] a limited time (maybe 15 to 30 minutes) reversion to adult form. Unlike Haibara's later temporary antidotes, the baijiu took a considerable time before it began to work, and only then after making their respective colds much worse. The transformation and reversion are heralded by repeated bouts of sharp chest pain centered over the heart which become more frequent as the transformation draws near. In the short time Conan and Haibara were in their adult forms, they were unwell, sweating, and breathing heavily. After the reversion back to child form, both Conan and Haibara seemed more taxed and ill than they started. <br />
<br />
The baijiu antidote seems to be one time use only, as Haibara says that the body builds a resistance to the baijiu that makes it no longer work. Additionally, it may only work when the drinker is sick and thus has a weakened immune system as both Conan and Haibara used it while sick with colds. Haibara speculated there was some [[wiki:enzyme|enzyme]] in the baijiu which enabled the change.<br />
<br />
=== [[Canon]] ===<br />
==== The [[Diplomat Murder Case]] and the [[Library Murder Case]] ====<br />
[[Heiji Hattori]] gives [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] a cup of baijiu as a remedy for his cold, causing Conan to change back into [[Shinichi]] in the middle of a murder case investigation. He manages to solve the case and escapes before changing back into Conan. Later Conan tries to use the baijiu to change back but finds it no longer works. It may have failed because Conan was no longer afflicted with a cold, but Haibara also considers that that his body built up a resistance to the baijiu after using it once.<br />
<br />
==== [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] ====<br />
[[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] drinks baijiu at Conan's prompting in order to escape the locked alcohol storage room [[Pisco]] had trapped her in at the [[Haido City Hotel]]. She is able to scale the chimney in her adult form to leave the locked room. Her half-drunken left-behind bottle is noticed by Vodka, but neither he nor Gin realize its purpose. After being confronted by [[Gin]] on the roof, she falls back down the chimney and turns back into Haibara. Pisco sees her reversion, but is unable to tell anyone before Gin kills him.<br />
<br />
=== Non-canon ===<br />
==== [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]] ====<br />
Conan took some of Haibara's medicine to create the symptoms of an awful cold and then drank baijiu. He became Shinichi for around an hour, but felt terrible as a result.<ref>[[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital|Movie, No. 7: Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref><br />
<br />
==== [[Shinichi Kudo Returns! Confrontation with the Black Organization]] ====<br />
Conan and Haibara accidentally returned to Shinichi and Shiho when they ate some alcohol-containing cake.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* In an interview in Conan Drill<ref name=conandrill>{{cite web|url=http://conan.aga-search.com/501-33-4-4officialbook.html|title=コナンドリル オフィシャル・ブック (''Conan Drill Official Book'')}}</ref>, Aoyama claims that the name of the alcohol comes from the name of a villain in ''Lupin III''.<br />

<div>[[File:Baijiu.jpg|thumb|The first known temporary antidote for APTX is [[baijiu]].]]<br />
The {{nihongo|prototype antidote|解毒剤|gedoku-zai}} temporarily restores the body of someone de-aged by [[APTX 4869]] to their true age and appearance. The prototype antidote is created by [[Shiho Miyano]], the original creator of APTX 4869.<br />
<br />
== Description ==<br />
[[File:Transform animation.gif|thumb|right|The animation effect shown when the prototype antidote is either taking effect or wearing off.]]<br />
Taking a prototype antidote causes [[Conan Edogawa]] and [[Ai Haibara]] to return to their original adult bodies for a short duration. The antidote lasts longer and has fewer side-effects than [[baijiu]]; the ones shown so far have typically lasted for about 24 hours or less. The transformation occurs as soon as the pill is taken, and there are no complications during the majority of the time that the antidote is in effect. However, when the antidote begins to wear off, Shinichi feels feverish, sweats profusely and experiences increasingly acute chest pain and heart palpitations. Shinichi reverts back into Conan soon after this. <br />
<br />
Most of the times when Conan and Haibara have taken the prototype antidote, they were sick to some degree. It is unclear whether being ill is a requirement for the temporary antidote to act properly.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately if a subsequent antidote dose is taken directly after the original dose, it works for far less time than the original dose. Taking the antidote frequently makes it less effective and shortens the active duration. Haibara cautions Shinichi that taking it consecutively will cause his body to develop resistance to it.<ref>Manga [[Volume 62]], File 11 (652), pg 9: "The Thing She Really Wants to Ask" </ref><br />
<br />
Ai Haibara developed the first prototype antidote after she discovered that consuming baijiu will temporarily restore a person shrunken by APTX 4869 to their original age.<ref>[[Reunion with the Black Organization]]</ref> While Haibara herself never directly states extracts of baijiu are part of the antidote, Conan implies that it is one component.<ref name=ep194>[[Episode 194]]</ref> It is also likely Haibara used APTX 4869 data she copied from the [[Black Organization]]'s files as part of the prototype antidote development process.<ref>Haibara made a copy of some of the APTX 4869 data when [[Reunion with the Black Organization|she was locked in a room with Pisco's computer]], but then lied to Conan about losing it. In [[The Desperate Revival|Episode 188]] (File 251), Haibara has the bloody disk of copied APTX 4869 data from [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] in a pile of other disks she has been using in her lab in Agasa's basement.</ref> Haibara characterizes these prototypes as quite dangerous. She cautions Shinichi that he could die when he tries it for the first time.<br />
<br />
Haibara keeps a small stash of prototype antidote with her in a pill box in case a situation arises where she or Shinichi need to become adults. She withholds these extra from Conan, citing his tendency to misuse them or publicly appear as Shinichi.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
== Appearances ==<br />
=== [[Canon]] ===<br />
==== [[The Desperate Revival]] ====<br />
A series of incidents led [[Ran]] to believe Conan is actually Shinichi who had been somehow shrunken. Before Conan could tell Ran the truth, Haibara reveals to Conan that she has developed a temporary antidote. After warning him that the temporary antidote was untested and could kill him, Conan agrees to take it as part of a trick to fool Ran by having both Conan and Shinichi appear at the same time. Shiho dresses up as Conan, and Shinichi secretly enters the school play as the mysterious Black Knight who would kiss the heroine played by Ran. Despite a murder interrupting the play, Ran saw both Conan and Shinichi at the same time, fooling her into no longer suspecting Shinichi and Conan were one and the same.<ref>[[Volume 26|Volume 26, Files 255-260]]</ref><ref>[[The Desperate Revival|Episodes 188-193: The Desperate Revival]]</ref> <br />
<br />
The antidote ran out unexpectedly just before Shinichi was able to confess to Ran that he loved her.<br />
<br />
==== [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo]] ====<br />
[[Image:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|thumb|After this scene, comes to where Shinichi almost confesses, this time his body here with Heiji's cap only lasting four hours.]]<br />
Shinichi accidentally took the antidote prototype when [[Professor Agasa]] mistook it for cough medicine. This worked out to Shinichi's advantage because the culprit was in disguise as Shinichi, trying to implicate him for a crime. Shinichi was able to appear as himself and reveal the culprit's trick. The antidote wore off after 24 hours, forcing Haibara to give Shinichi another one to protect his identity. The second one wore off in a shortened 4 hours, again interrupting Shinichi's confession of his feelings to Ran.<!--The phrase of "It's always so close!" (which [[Gosho Aoyama]] uses quite frequently in love plots) can be read in the manga when he returns to his kiddo form of Conan.--><ref>[[Volume 62|Volumes 62 & 63: Files 646-654]]</ref><ref>[[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|Episode 521]]</ref><ref>[[Shinichi's True Face and Ran's Tears|Episode 522]]</ref><ref>[[What She Truly Wants to Ask|Episode 523]]</ref><br />
<br />
==== [[Holmes' Revelation]] ====<br />
[[Image:Shinichi traveling.jpg|thumb|left|Shinichi on the plane after taking the pill.]]<br />
Conan is given the antidote so he can fly to London, because the alias ''Conan Edogawa'' does not exist and has no passport. <br />
<br />
Haibara passes to Conan a second pill for the trip back to Japan. However, after Conan accidentally reveals Shinichi is in London, Shinichi (as Conan) is chased by Ran, who doesn't know she is actually chasing Conan, but thinks it's Shinichi she chased. Conan hides in the booth and ingests the return-trip pill, and walks out of the booth. A bawling Ran runs away, and Shinichi runs after her. He grabs her arm and pulls her in front of him at the Big Ben, and this time nothing stopped him from confessing his feelings, somehow.<br />
<br />
Fortunately for Shinichi, after he turns back to Conan and apprehends the terrorist together with [[Minerva Glass]], his parents [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] appear, giving him the third pill under orders from Haibara. He then goes back to Japan.<ref>[[Holmes' Revelation|Episode 616-621]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 71#Following Holmes|Volume 71, Files 743-751]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 72#Following Holmes|Volume 72, File 752]]</ref><br />
<br />
==== [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret]] ====<br />
Shiho takes her first temporary antidote to break down the door of a burning shack to free herself and the Detective Boys. She hides in Agasa's camping tent until it wears off.<br />
<br />
==== [[Crimson School Trip|Kyoto School Field Trip Case]] ====<br />
To go to Kyoto for the school field trip, Conan took the antidotes provided by Haibara. Here Haibara provided Conan instructions when using multiple antidotes that he needed to wait 8 hours after being shrunk before taking the next one. Haibara added a footnote saying not to do anything too intimate while in the original body, although it's unclear whether it is related to the antidote.<br />
<br />
=== Non-canon ===<br />
==== [[The Stranger from Ten Years Later]] ====<br />
The antidote Shinichi tried was a failure. Although he transformed, he was unconscious the whole time and had a vivid dream where he was still stuck as Conan a decade later. When he woke up, he transformed back to Conan.<ref>[[The Stranger from Ten Years Later|OVA, No. 9: The Stranger from Ten Years Later]]</ref><br />
<br />
== Speculation ==<br />
While thinking about how to make a permanent antidote, [[Conan]] speculates that baijiu ingredients are not enough. Haibara adds that the APTX 4869 data is needed as well.<ref name=ep194/> Haibara in fact does have at least some APTX 4869 data. She copied some onto a floppy disk while [[Reunion with the Black Organization|she was locked in a room with Pisco's computer]], but then lied to Conan that she lost it.<ref>[[:File:Bloody Disk Manga.png|The bloody disk]] appears in [[The Desperate Revival]].</ref> Thus, there is some speculation that Haibara may have developed a full antidote, but is withholding it from Shinichi.<br />

== Description ==<br />
Kohji Haneda, a shogi player, went to the US to participate in a chess competition at the Juke Hotel, however the day before the match he was found murdered in his hotel room. According to a website with numerous photos of the crime scene, his room was a total mess which was chalked up to a struggle between Kohji and his assailant. The website reported that the cause of his death remains unclear, but Haibara recalls his name was on the APTX 4869 victims list. On the same day in a different hotel room Amanda Hughes, a wealthy person who has contacts with both the FBI and CIA, was found murdered and the cause of her death is also unclear. <br />
<br />
Amanda had been a fan of Kohji's and had been in contact with him in the past. She had visited his hotel room some time before the murder, her fingerprints were found on the door handle, sofa, tea cups, knife, and fork. After the murder there were tea cups, plates, and a hand mirror found smashed on the floor of Kohji's room. Several defensive wounds were found on Kohji's arms and his palm was bruised from gripping a pair of scissors very tightly. There were some bruises on his face as well. In Kouji's room, the sink in the bathroom was even left running. Amanda's own room, on the other hand, was neat and tidy, as though nothing had happened. It is not known who was murdered first.<br />
<br />
On the day of the murders Amanda's bodyguard, who she called "Asaka", disappeared. Currently Asaka is the prime suspect in both murders. Neither relatives or acquaintances of Amanda know when Asaka was hired on as her bodyguard. It is currently unknown whether Asaka is a given name or a surname. If it were a given name then it would be likely that Asaka would be female, however if it were a surname then it would not be possible to determine the gender. At some point Asaka was seen holding a hand mirror, which leads Gaito Hotta to believe that Asaka is a woman. As a bodyguard, it is thought that Asaka is skilled at bringing down opponents. <br />
<br />
Tsutomu Akai was either involved in the case or its aftermath. As a result, he made enemies with some really bad people (Black Organization) and sent a message to his family telling them to move to Japan for safety. Since then Tsutomu has not been seen, leading many to believe that he is dead. However, his body has never been found. <br />
<br />
Gin comments that this case is a job in which Rum screwed up, clarifying that Rum was present, or at least involved some way or another, and that things did not happen according to plan back then.<br />
<br />
=== Aftermath ===<br />
[[File:Kohji Hanedas body.jpg|right|thumb|Kuroda connects Rumi to the Kohji case.]]<br />
Mary Sera took her family to Japan as instructed by her husband's text. Mary also gave birth to Masumi around that time. Shuichi Akai then left his family to study abroad in the United States with the intention of obtaining a green card and joining the FBI to find out what happened to his father. Shukichi Akai eventually leaves the family as well, changing his family name to Haneda. He also claims to be a non-blood brother of Kohji and possesses his fan that has his motto. <br />
<br />
When Conan learns that the case involved APTX, he finds information about the case that had been uploaded to the internet. Even when it gets taken down the person who uploaded it tries to re-upload it. Conan thinks that it's almost if they are saying "Please help me solve this mystery!".<br />
<br />
Gaito Hotta had obtained information that states that Asaka had been seen holding a hand mirror to claim that Asaka was a woman. However it is unclear whether this is first or second-hand information. Mary thinks that this information was "boring", seemingly expecting to know more information about Asaka from the so-called "soul detective" Gaito. <br />
<br />
A woman whose name, {{nihongo|Rumi Wakasa|若狭留美|Wakasa Rumi}}, bears similar spelling to the dying message of the Kohji case appears at Conan's school. When Hyoue Kuroda learns of this person's appearance on the news, he seems to make a connection between her and the Kohji case and implies that he might know her by saying "that's not like that person at all" when he was told she was going camping.<br />
<br />
Currently the list of people who know about the case are as follows: Conan, Haibara, Agasa, Shuichi, Masumi, Mary, Kogoro, Gin, Vodka, Bourbon, Vermouth, and Kuroda. It is presumed that since Rumi's name bares resemblance to the dying message that she may know as well. Shukichi seems to be aware of Kohji's death, but it is unclear what he knows, or what his connection to Kohji is, since he is called a 'non-biological brother'.<br />
<br />
== Dying message ==<br />
After the murder there were tea cups, plates, and a hand mirror found smashed on the floor of Kohji's room. The mirror had writing on it that Haibara recognized as saying "PUT ON MASCARA", however it had been broken so that only "P T O N" remained. Kohji's palm was bruised from gripping a pair of scissors very tightly. The sink in Amanda's bathroom was even left running. It seems as if Kohji was attacked in the bathroom and turned the sink on, then ran water over the mirror to use the scissors to cut the mirror up, although it's unclear how he managed to do that during such circumstances, while Rum could have been distracted in the fight against Tsutomu Akai. With the letters "P T O N" removed, the message remaining is "U MASCARA", which can be arranged to make "ASACA RUM". Though this is a correct way to decipher the dying message, it's unknown if this is the only correct way to interpret the message, or that it was originally created by Kohji, or if the message was altered at all by someone.<br />
<br />
The Black Organization is aware of the dying message.<br />
<br />
Some time after, Subaru discussed the case cipher with [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], and both arrived at the conclusion that the message might only form one word: "CARASUMA", which refers to [[Renya Karasuma]], a multi-millionaire who is supposed to be dead for at least forty years, and who might be the organization's boss.<br />

<br />
== APTX connection ==<br />
Even though the cause of death is unclear in both cases, only Kohji's name appeared on the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX 4869 victims list]]. However it is interesting to note that Kohji's name appeared two names below Shinichi's name on the list. Haibara thinks that the person who compiled the victims list may not have compiled it chronologically, but rather in some other fashion, like blood type. <br />
<br />
Since Haibara states that the drug she worked on was created from the burnt remains from the data left behind by her parents, she says that its possible that Kohji was made to ingest an early prototype made by her parents. Haibara hasn't mentioned whether Amanda Hughes' name is on the list or not. <br />

<br />
== Motive ==<br />
The motive for the murders is unknown. In Kohji Haneda's case, Haibara suggest it might have been because he was close to Amanda Hughes. If that's true, then that means that Amanda was the main target, possibly because of her connections to the FBI and the CIA.<br />
<br />
== Anime changes ==<br />
* Given that the Romanized spelling of Asaca and Rum in the dying message is important, it seems relevant to note that the Romanized spelling of "Kohji" was changed for the anime version to "Kouji". <!--Arguably varying versions of Romanization could explain the reason why the dying message of the case uses a C rather than a K since both make the same sound. --><br />
<br />
== Speculation ==<br />
=== Asaka's identity ===<br />
Conan suspects that Asaka is Rum, based on that the missing letters from the mirror spells out ASACA RUM. Conan also suspected that Mary is Asaka, by thinking that Asaka is a strong woman.<br />
<br />
=== The one putting the case online ===<br />
A mysterious individual, the uploader, is in possession of detailed crime scene photographs and case information. This includes pictures of Kohji's dying message hand mirror broken on the ground prior to Asaka removing a hand mirror from the scene. This unknown uploader posts this information online, seemingly asking for the case to be solved. <br />
<br />
Information about the case was online at the time Okiya and Conan solved the "The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters" case, but was removed by the beginning of the "Soul Detective Murder Case". The reason why the information was deleted and the identity of the one doing the takedowns --perhaps the uploader themselves or another force who wishes to scrub the essential details of Kohji's case from the internet-- is still uncertain.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that current Police Superintendent [[Hyoue Kuroda]] has access to the information on the website and seems to see some sort of connection to Elementary teacher [[Rumi Wakasa]]. Some fans speculate that it is possible that Rumi is the one uploading the information to the site due to her name being a close letter scramble of the dying message ASAKA RUM and her method of approaching Conan.<br />
<br />
=== Alternate interpretations of the mirror ===<br />
<br />
=== Kohji's palm bruise ===<br />
In the picture of Kohji's hand, there are several bruises on the fingers and one on the center of his palm. These are presumed to be from holding the scissors tightly. Kohji's method of holding the scissors is unclear, but the bruises are consistent with looping one's thumb and index finger through the two rings so the rings as close to the base of the fingers. If the blade is angled across the palm and the other three fingers folded over, it makes a defensive-like pose. This grip does not explain the bruise in the hollow of his palm. If a defensive grip was used, then the bruise must have been caused by an item secreted in Kohji's palm he was gripping along with the scissors, holding the scissors another way, or another force altogether. It may also be of concern that despite supposedly gripping the scissors tightly in life, after Kohji was killed and the body photographed, the scissors were elsewhere nearby<!-- still close to the mess--> and Kohji's hand opened.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List of differences between the manga and anime#Season 10 - Episodes 255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />

In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume 24#Blackout Murder Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />

Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended.<br />

Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />

=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[Crimson School Trip|928]]) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List of differences between the manga and anime#Season 10 - Episodes 255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

[[File:Shinichi drugged.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi is given APTX 4869 after being caught eavesdropping.]]<br />
=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber.

Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume 25#Dangerous Cave Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />
<br />
=== The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]) ===<br />
While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume 24#Blackout Murder Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. Numabuchi encounters Mitsuhiko with a captured firefly, but rather than hurt him, Numabuchi carries him to the search parties and does not resist being arrested on.<ref>Manga Chapter 358-360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Footsteps of Darkness (Manga: [[Volume 37|380]]-[[Volume 38|383]], Anime: [[Contact with the Black Organization|309-311]]) ===<br />
Two years ago, Suguru Itakura was coerced via a year of stalking to finish a computer program of unknown purpose for the Black Organization. Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File 818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them.<br />
<br />
=== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume 41#Four Porsches Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ===<br />
Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink. She takes Sherry's picture off the dartboard, says she's coming for Sherry, and burns it.<br />
<br />
=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended.<br />

<br />

Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />

However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />

In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />

=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />

[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders.

Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up.

Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara.

Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended.<br />

<br />

Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[Crimson School Trip|928]]) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator.

=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara.

Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />

=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended.<br />

<br />
=== Rum ===<br />
=== The 3 Descriptions of Rum (Manga: [[Volume 86|File 906-908]] ; Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===<br />
Conan asks Haibara about [[Rum]], she told him that she knew he is the Organisation number 2, and she heard he has 3 different descriptions; a huge built man, a feminine looking man and an elder man. At the end of the case, she remebered that Rum lost his eye in an accident and one of his eyes is artificial.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Kuroda]], formerly Nagano Police First Division Chief, is the 1st suspect of Rum's identity, as he possesses a huge built and white hair that makes him look older, on top of that, lost his right eye during an accident 10 years before the current timeline. He is aware how good Conan is as a detective calling him "Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom". He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police. Haibara tells Conan she didn't sense the Organisation's aura from him, and that if he was Rum he would recognised her as [[Shiho Miyano]], yet nothing had happened yet.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />
[[Kohji Haneda]], was killed 17 years ago throygh unknown means while he was in America to participate in a chess tournament. For some reasons, his name is among the victims who were killed by [[APTX 4869]]. At the same time, a famous America investor [[Amanda Hughes]] was killed in her hotel room and her own bodyguard [[Asaka]] is missing. Asaka is believed to be the murder of Amanda and Kohji. The only clue left in the crime scene , is some shattered mirror glaces containing the letters P,T,O and N which belongs the compagny "PUT ON MASCARA".After the end of the case, [[Subaru]] and [[Conan]] manage to discover's Kohji's dying message, substracting p,t,o and n from PUT ON MASCARA. What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up. Gin is more intrigued about Kogoro who got involved in the case, sticking his nose into the Organisations's matters. Gin immediately suggests the detective to be finished off before he becomes more dangerous.<br />
<br />
=== A Song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===<br />
Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

[[File:Shinichi drugged.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi is given APTX 4869 after being caught eavesdropping.]]<br />
=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

[[File:Tequila Profile.jpg|thumb|right|Tequila appears at the Mantendo Convention.]]<br />
<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

<br />
=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan. Gin also wants to find the "man" on the roof who helped Shiho escape.<br />

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him.

Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink.

Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />

=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended.<br />

[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity.

<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency.

Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />

However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan.

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

[[File:Shinichi drugged.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi is given APTX 4869 after being caught eavesdropping.]]<br />
=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

[[File:Tequila Profile.jpg|thumb|right|Tequila appears at the Mantendo Convention.]]<br />
<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

The police arrest Numabuchi but he attempts to escape and stabs Conan in the process; only the protection charm Heiji lent Conan saves Conan's life.

Haibara tries to stop Conan, but follows when she cannot change his mind. [[Pisco]] recognizes her childhood form and on Gin's order, kidnaps her from the wake after he murders the target. Conan tries to find the murderer as well as Haibara, forcing Pisco to require the help of [[Vermouth]] to escape police scrutiny. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Sherry-getting-shot.png|thumb|right|Shiho shot by Gin.]] <br />
While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. Numabuchi encounters Mitsuhiko with a captured firefly, but rather than hurt him, Numabuchi carries him to the search parties and does not resist being arrested on.<ref>Manga Chapter 358-360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case</ref><br />

Two years ago, Suguru Itakura was coerced via a year of stalking to finish a computer program of unknown purpose for the Black Organization. Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File 818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them.<br />
<br />
=== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume 41#Four Porsches Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ===<br />
Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink. She takes Sherry's picture off the dartboard, says she's coming for Sherry, and burns it.<br />
<br />
=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended.<br />

<br />

What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />

==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />

<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Two years ago, Suguru Itakura was coerced via a year of stalking to finish a computer program of unknown purpose for the Black Organization. Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File 818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them.<br />

Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink.

=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended.<br />

<br />

The only clue left in the crime scene , is some shattered mirror glaces containing the letters P,T,O and N which belongs the compagny "PUT ON MASCARA".After the end of the case, [[Subaru]] and [[Conan]] manage to discover's Kohji's dying message, substracting p,t,o and n from PUT ON MASCARA. What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />

Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

[[File:Tequila Profile.jpg|thumb|right|Tequila appears at the Mantendo Convention.]]<br />
<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />

[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit.

In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />

=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended.<br />

However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up. Gin is more intrigued about Kogoro who got involved in the case, sticking his nose into the Organisations's matters. Gin immediately suggests the detective to be finished off before he becomes more dangerous.<br />
<br />
=== A Song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===<br />
Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

[[File:Shinichi drugged.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi is given APTX 4869 after being caught eavesdropping.]]<br />
=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

<br />
=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan. Vermouth observes how Conan foils the busjackers and orders him to treat a wounded arm before letting the police question him about the case. The same day, Vermouth also steals the police department's records of all the cases in Tokyo that included the involvement of [[Kogoro Mouri]]. Once she has the necessary information to testify as Araide in the trial for his father's death, and has successfully baited out the FBI to surveil Kogoro's apartment, she returns the files.<ref>Manga: [[Volume 33#Missing Watch Case|336]], Anime: [[The Forgotten Memento from the Crime|269]].</ref><br />

Following the Battle Game Trap case with Jodie, Vermouth is seen writing a somewhat teasing letter to Gin, asking if he believes in heaven. She also throws a dart at the picture of Shiho tacked onto her dartboard. Conan and Ran are on the dartboard as well, with the captions "Cool Guy" and "Angel", respectively. This is the first time the readers see these pictures, but it is heavily implied that Jodie and the FBI already know of them.<ref name="JodieandPictures"/><br />

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />
<br />
=== The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]) ===<br />
While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. Numabuchi encounters Mitsuhiko with a captured firefly, but rather than hurt him, Numabuchi carries him to the search parties and does not resist being arrested on.<ref>Manga Chapter 358-360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case</ref><br />

=== Footsteps of Darkness (Manga: [[Volume 37|380]]-[[Volume 38|383]], Anime: [[Contact with the Black Organization|309-311]]) ===<br />
Two years ago, Suguru Itakura was coerced via a year of stalking to finish a computer program of unknown purpose for the Black Organization. Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File 818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them.<br />
<br />
=== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume 41#Four Porsches Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ===<br />
Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink. She takes Sherry's picture off the dartboard, says she's coming for Sherry, and burns it.<br />

Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended.<br />

Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />

After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />

=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />

[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber.

Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />

In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File 818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them.<br />
<br />
=== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume 41#Four Porsches Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ===<br />
Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink. She takes Sherry's picture off the dartboard, says she's coming for Sherry, and burns it.<br />
<br />
=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended.<br />

<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />

What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />

In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />

=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan.

Following the Battle Game Trap case with Jodie, Vermouth is seen writing a somewhat teasing letter to Gin, asking if he believes in heaven. She also throws a dart at the picture of Shiho tacked onto her dartboard. Conan and Ran are on the dartboard as well, with the captions "Cool Guy" and "Angel", respectively.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career.

However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them.<br />

Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink.

=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />

<br />

He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police.

<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />

At the same time, a famous America investor [[Amanda Hughes]] was killed in her hotel room and her own bodyguard [[Asaka]] is missing. Asaka is believed to be the murder of Amanda and Kohji. The only clue left in the crime scene , is some shattered mirror glaces containing the letters P,T,O and N which belongs the compagny "PUT ON MASCARA".After the end of the case, [[Subaru]] and [[Conan]] manage to discover's Kohji's dying message, substracting p,t,o and n from PUT ON MASCARA. What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Gin immediately suggests the detective to be finished off before he becomes more dangerous.<br />
<br />
=== A Song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===<br />
Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

[[File:Shinichi drugged.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi is given APTX 4869 after being caught eavesdropping.]]<br />
=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

[[File:Tequila Profile.jpg|thumb|right|Tequila appears at the Mantendo Convention.]]<br />
<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

<br />
=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />

Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit.

In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara.

Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />

=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />

He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara.

Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura.

This is the first time the readers see these pictures, but it is heavily implied that Jodie and the FBI already know of them.<ref name="JodieandPictures"/><br />

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />
<br />
=== The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]) ===<br />
While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. Numabuchi encounters Mitsuhiko with a captured firefly, but rather than hurt him, Numabuchi carries him to the search parties and does not resist being arrested on.<ref>Manga Chapter 358-360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Footsteps of Darkness (Manga: [[Volume 37|380]]-[[Volume 38|383]], Anime: [[Episode 309|309-311]]) ===<br />
Two years ago, Suguru Itakura was coerced via a year of stalking to finish a computer program of unknown purpose for the Black Organization. Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File_818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them. <br />
<br />
=== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume 41#Four Porsches Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ===<br />
Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink. She takes Sherry's picture off the dartboard, says she's coming for Sherry, and burns it.<br />
<br />
=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />
<br />
=== Boss's phone number ===<br />

<br />

He is aware how good Conan is as a detective calling him "Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom". He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police.

<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />

What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />

=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />

[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber.

Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up.

Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara.

Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />
<br />
=== Boss's phone number ===<br />

<br />

He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police.

<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />

For some reasons, his name is among the victims who were killed by [[APTX 4869]]. At the same time, a famous America investor [[Amanda Hughes]] was killed in her hotel room and her own bodyguard [[Asaka]] is missing. Asaka is believed to be the murder of Amanda and Kohji. The only clue left in the crime scene , is some shattered mirror glaces containing the letters P,T,O and N which belongs the compagny "PUT ON MASCARA".After the end of the case, [[Subaru]] and [[Conan]] manage to discover's Kohji's dying message, substracting p,t,o and n from PUT ON MASCARA. What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Gin immediately suggests the detective to be finished off before he becomes more dangerous.<br />
<br />
=== A Song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===<br />
Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up.

Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara.

Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />

Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />

<br />
=== Rum ===<br />
=== The 3 Descriptions of Rum (Manga: [[Volume 86|File 906-908]] ; Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===<br />
Conan asks Haibara about [[Rum]], she told him that she knew he is the Organisation number 2, and she heard he has 3 different descriptions; a huge built man, a feminine looking man and an elder man. At the end of the case, she remebered that Rum lost his eye in an accident and one of his eyes is artificial.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Kuroda]], formerly Nagano Police First Division Chief, is the 1st suspect of Rum's identity, as he possesses a huge built and white hair that makes him look older, on top of that, lost his right eye during an accident 10 years before the current timeline. He is aware how good Conan is as a detective calling him "Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom". He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police. Haibara tells Conan she didn't sense the Organisation's aura from him, and that if he was Rum he would recognised her as [[Shiho Miyano]], yet nothing had happened yet.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />
[[Kohji Haneda]], was killed 17 years ago throygh unknown means while he was in America to participate in a chess tournament. For some reasons, his name is among the victims who were killed by [[APTX 4869]]. At the same time, a famous America investor [[Amanda Hughes]] was killed in her hotel room and her own bodyguard [[Asaka]] is missing. Asaka is believed to be the murder of Amanda and Kohji. The only clue left in the crime scene , is some shattered mirror glaces containing the letters P,T,O and N which belongs the compagny "PUT ON MASCARA".After the end of the case, [[Subaru]] and [[Conan]] manage to discover's Kohji's dying message, substracting p,t,o and n from PUT ON MASCARA. What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up. Gin is more intrigued about Kogoro who got involved in the case, sticking his nose into the Organisations's matters. Gin immediately suggests the detective to be finished off before he becomes more dangerous.<br />
<br />
=== A Song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===<br />
Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

[[File:Shinichi drugged.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi is given APTX 4869 after being caught eavesdropping.]]<br />
=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

[[File:Tequila Profile.jpg|thumb|right|Tequila appears at the Mantendo Convention.]]<br />
<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

<br />
=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan. Gin also wants to find the "man" on the roof who helped Shiho escape.<br />

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan. Vermouth observes how Conan foils the busjackers and orders him to treat a wounded arm before letting the police question him about the case. The same day, Vermouth also steals the police department's records of all the cases in Tokyo that included the involvement of [[Kogoro Mouri]]. Once she has the necessary information to testify as Araide in the trial for his father's death, and has successfully baited out the FBI to surveil Kogoro's apartment, she returns the files.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_33#Missing_Watch_Case|336]], Anime: [[The Forgotten Memento from the Crime|269]].</ref> <br />

Following the Battle Game Trap case with Jodie, Vermouth is seen writing a somewhat teasing letter to Gin, asking if he believes in heaven. She also throws a dart at the picture of Shiho tacked onto her dartboard. Conan and Ran are on the dartboard as well, with the captions "Cool Guy" and "Angel", respectively.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. Numabuchi encounters Mitsuhiko with a captured firefly, but rather than hurt him, Numabuchi carries him to the search parties and does not resist being arrested on.<ref>Manga Chapter 358-360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case</ref><br />

Two years ago, Suguru Itakura was coerced via a year of stalking to finish a computer program of unknown purpose for the Black Organization. Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File_818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them. <br />
<br />
=== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume 41#Four Porsches Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ===<br />
Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink. She takes Sherry's picture off the dartboard, says she's coming for Sherry, and burns it.<br />
<br />
=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />

However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro.

However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation.

<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />

Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

[[File:Shinichi drugged.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi is given APTX 4869 after being caught eavesdropping.]]<br />
=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

[[File:Tequila Profile.jpg|thumb|right|Tequila appears at the Mantendo Convention.]]<br />
<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

The dead and the suspects all attended the same driving school, along with infamous serial killer Numabuchi Ki'ichiro, who escaped from prison not long before. Conan ends up with Officer Ootaki, tracking down Numabuchi on Mt. Minoo outside Osaka. The police arrest Numabuchi but he attempts to escape and stabs Conan in the process; only the protection charm Heiji lent Conan saves Conan's life. It turns out Numabuchi was involved in the accidental death of the father of the man behind this set of serial killings, and was intended to be the scapegoat because he already killed several others. <br />

She recognizes Gin's rare porsche in the Beika neighborhood and cannot stop Conan from planting a bug in the car. The overhear a plan for a murder at a wake at the Haido City hotel, but Gin also finds an auburn hair he recognizes as Shiho's, and stakes out the hotel to catch her, assuming she'll try to interfere. Haibara tries to stop Conan, but follows when she cannot change his mind. [[Pisco]] recognizes her childhood form and on Gin's order, kidnaps her from the wake after he murders the target. Conan tries to find the murderer as well as Haibara, forcing Pisco to require the help of [[Vermouth]] to escape police scrutiny. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Sherry-getting-shot.png|thumb|right|Shiho shot by Gin.]] <br />
While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan. Gin also wants to find the "man" on the roof who helped Shiho escape.<br />

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan.

The same day, Vermouth also steals the police department's records of all the cases in Tokyo that included the involvement of [[Kogoro Mouri]]. Once she has the necessary information to testify as Araide in the trial for his father's death, and has successfully baited out the FBI to surveil Kogoro's apartment, she returns the files.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_33#Missing_Watch_Case|336]], Anime: [[The Forgotten Memento from the Crime|269]].</ref> <br />

Following the Battle Game Trap case with Jodie, Vermouth is seen writing a somewhat teasing letter to Gin, asking if he believes in heaven. She also throws a dart at the picture of Shiho tacked onto her dartboard. Conan and Ran are on the dartboard as well, with the captions "Cool Guy" and "Angel", respectively.

[[Image:Ran saves Vermouth.jpg|thumb|right|Ran saved Vermouth (who was disguising as a serial killer) back in New York]]<br />
=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

=== The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]) ===<br />
While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. Numabuchi encounters Mitsuhiko with a captured firefly, but rather than hurt him, Numabuchi carries him to the search parties and does not resist being arrested on.<ref>Manga Chapter 358-360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Footsteps of Darkness (Manga: [[Volume 37|380]]-[[Volume 38|383]], Anime: [[Episode 309|309-311]]) ===<br />
Two years ago, Suguru Itakura was coerced via a year of stalking to finish a computer program of unknown purpose for the Black Organization. Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File_818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them. <br />
<br />
=== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume 41#Four Porsches Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ===<br />
Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink. She takes Sherry's picture off the dartboard, says she's coming for Sherry, and burns it.<br />
<br />
=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />
<br />
=== Boss's phone number ===<br />

Conan asks Haibara about [[Rum]], she told him that she knew he is the Organisation number 2, and she heard he has 3 different descriptions; a huge built man, a feminine looking man and an elder man.

<br />

He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police.

<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />

For some reasons, his name is among the victims who were killed by [[APTX 4869]]. At the same time, a famous America investor [[Amanda Hughes]] was killed in her hotel room and her own bodyguard [[Asaka]] is missing. Asaka is believed to be the murder of Amanda and Kohji. The only clue left in the crime scene , is some shattered mirror glaces containing the letters P,T,O and N which belongs the compagny "PUT ON MASCARA".After the end of the case, [[Subaru]] and [[Conan]] manage to discover's Kohji's dying message, substracting p,t,o and n from PUT ON MASCARA. What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Gin immediately suggests the detective to be finished off before he becomes more dangerous.<br />
<br />
=== A Song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===<br />
Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />

==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />

<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

The police arrest Numabuchi but he attempts to escape and stabs Conan in the process; only the protection charm Heiji lent Conan saves Conan's life.

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan.

Following the Battle Game Trap case with Jodie, Vermouth is seen writing a somewhat teasing letter to Gin, asking if he believes in heaven. She also throws a dart at the picture of Shiho tacked onto her dartboard. Conan and Ran are on the dartboard as well, with the captions "Cool Guy" and "Angel", respectively.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File_818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them. <br />

Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara.

Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />

Conan asks Haibara about [[Rum]], she told him that she knew he is the Organisation number 2, and she heard he has 3 different descriptions; a huge built man, a feminine looking man and an elder man.

<br />

He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police.

<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />

For some reasons, his name is among the victims who were killed by [[APTX 4869]]. At the same time, a famous America investor [[Amanda Hughes]] was killed in her hotel room and her own bodyguard [[Asaka]] is missing. Asaka is believed to be the murder of Amanda and Kohji. The only clue left in the crime scene , is some shattered mirror glaces containing the letters P,T,O and N which belongs the compagny "PUT ON MASCARA".After the end of the case, [[Subaru]] and [[Conan]] manage to discover's Kohji's dying message, substracting p,t,o and n from PUT ON MASCARA. What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Gin immediately suggests the detective to be finished off before he becomes more dangerous.<br />

=== A Song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===<br />
Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]], Anime: None) ===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

[[File:Tequila Profile.jpg|thumb|right|Tequila appears at the Mantendo Convention.]]<br />
<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Episode 54|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization.

[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again.

Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit.

In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />

=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />

Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

[[File:Shinichi drugged.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi is given APTX 4869 after being caught eavesdropping.]]<br />
=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|episode 13]], the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]])===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

[[File:Tequila Profile.jpg|thumb|right|Tequila appears at the Mantendo Convention.]]<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Episode 54|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

Conan ends up with Officer Ootaki, tracking down Numabuchi on Mt. Minoo outside Osaka. The police arrest Numabuchi but he attempts to escape and stabs Conan in the process; only the protection charm Heiji lent Conan saves Conan's life.

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

=== Busjacking and Akai's introduction (Manga: [[Volume 29|287]]-[[Volume 29|289]], Anime: [[Episode 230|230-231]])===<br />
At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan. Vermouth observes how Conan foils the busjackers and orders him to treat a wounded arm before letting the police question him about the case. The same day, Vermouth also steals the police department's records of all the cases in Tokyo that included the involvement of [[Kogoro Mouri]].

Following the Battle Game Trap case with Jodie, Vermouth is seen writing a somewhat teasing letter to Gin, asking if he believes in heaven. She also throws a dart at the picture of Shiho tacked onto her dartboard. Conan and Ran are on the dartboard as well, with the captions "Cool Guy" and "Angel", respectively. This is the first time the readers see these pictures, but it is heavily implied that Jodie and the FBI already know of them.<ref name="JodieandPictures"/><br />

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />
<br />
=== The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]) ===<br />
While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

[[File:Kiichiro Numabuchi's physical data.jpg|thumb|right|Ki'ichiro Numabuchi's profile was sent to the drug development division so Shiho could test the APTX4869 on him.]]<br />
=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. Numabuchi encounters Mitsuhiko with a captured firefly, but rather than hurt him, Numabuchi carries him to the search parties and does not resist being arrested on.<ref>Manga Chapter 358-360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Footsteps of Darkness (Manga: [[Volume 37|380]]-[[Volume 38|383]], Anime: [[Episode 309|309-311]]) ===<br />
Two years ago, Suguru Itakura was coerced via a year of stalking to finish a computer program of unknown purpose for the Black Organization. Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File_818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them. <br />
<br />
=== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume 41#Four Porsches Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ===<br />
Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink. She takes Sherry's picture off the dartboard, says she's coming for Sherry, and burns it.<br />
<br />
=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />
<br />
=== Boss's phone number ===<br />

He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police.

<br />

What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />

After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />

=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in episode 13, the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />

[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]])===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Episode 54|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career.

However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />

Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink. She takes Sherry's picture off the dartboard, says she's coming for Sherry, and burns it.<br />
<br />
=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />

<br />

What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[Episode 128|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in episode 13, the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />

The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Episode 54|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan. Gin also wants to find the "man" on the roof who helped Shiho escape.<br />

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan.

Following the Battle Game Trap case with Jodie, Vermouth is seen writing a somewhat teasing letter to Gin, asking if he believes in heaven. She also throws a dart at the picture of Shiho tacked onto her dartboard. Conan and Ran are on the dartboard as well, with the captions "Cool Guy" and "Angel", respectively.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

=== The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]) ===<br />
While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. Numabuchi encounters Mitsuhiko with a captured firefly, but rather than hurt him, Numabuchi carries him to the search parties and does not resist being arrested on.<ref>Manga Chapter 358-360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case</ref><br />

Two years ago, Suguru Itakura was coerced via a year of stalking to finish a computer program of unknown purpose for the Black Organization. Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File_818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them. <br />

Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink.

=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />

<br />
=== Rum ===<br />
=== The 3 Descriptions of Rum (Manga: [[Volume 86|File 906-908]] ; Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===<br />
Conan asks Haibara about [[Rum]], she told him that she knew he is the Organisation number 2, and she heard he has 3 different descriptions; a huge built man, a feminine looking man and an elder man. At the end of the case, she remebered that Rum lost his eye in an accident and one of his eyes is artificial.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Kuroda]], formerly Nagano Police First Division Chief, is the 1st suspect of Rum's identity, as he possesses a huge built and white hair that makes him look older, on top of that, lost his right eye during an accident 10 years before the current timeline. He is aware how good Conan is as a detective calling him "Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom". He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police. Haibara tells Conan she didn't sense the Organisation's aura from him, and that if he was Rum he would recognised her as [[Shiho Miyano]], yet nothing had happened yet.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />
[[Kohji Haneda]], was killed 17 years ago throygh unknown means while he was in America to participate in a chess tournament. For some reasons, his name is among the victims who were killed by [[APTX 4869]]. At the same time, a famous America investor [[Amanda Hughes]] was killed in her hotel room and her own bodyguard [[Asaka]] is missing. Asaka is believed to be the murder of Amanda and Kohji. The only clue left in the crime scene , is some shattered mirror glaces containing the letters P,T,O and N which belongs the compagny "PUT ON MASCARA".After the end of the case, [[Subaru]] and [[Conan]] manage to discover's Kohji's dying message, substracting p,t,o and n from PUT ON MASCARA. What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up. Gin is more intrigued about Kogoro who got involved in the case, sticking his nose into the Organisations's matters. Gin immediately suggests the detective to be finished off before he becomes more dangerous.<br />
<br />
=== A Song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===<br />
Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

[[File:Shinichi drugged.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi is given APTX 4869 after being caught eavesdropping.]]<br />
=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Episode 1|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[Episode 128|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in episode 13, the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]])===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

[[File:Tequila Profile.jpg|thumb|right|Tequila appears at the Mantendo Convention.]]<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Episode 54|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

<br />
=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan. Gin also wants to find the "man" on the roof who helped Shiho escape.<br />

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up.

Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara.

Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />

=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />

Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

[[File:Shinichi drugged.jpg|thumb|right|Shinichi is given APTX 4869 after being caught eavesdropping.]]<br />
=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Episode 1|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[Episode 128|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in episode 13, the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />
<br />
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]])===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

[[File:Tequila Profile.jpg|thumb|right|Tequila appears at the Mantendo Convention.]]<br />
=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Episode 54|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

The police arrest Numabuchi but he attempts to escape and stabs Conan in the process; only the protection charm Heiji lent Conan saves Conan's life.

Haibara tries to stop Conan, but follows when she cannot change his mind. [[Pisco]] recognizes her childhood form and on Gin's order, kidnaps her from the wake after he murders the target. Conan tries to find the murderer as well as Haibara, forcing Pisco to require the help of [[Vermouth]] to escape police scrutiny. <br />
<br />
[[Image:Sherry-getting-shot.png|thumb|right|Shiho shot by Gin.]] <br />
While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara. Pisco is waiting for her in the wine cellar and praises her success with continuing her dead parents' research, but he is still under orders to kill her. Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan.

[[Image:Ran saves Vermouth.jpg|thumb|right|Ran saved Vermouth (who was disguising as a serial killer) back in New York]]<br />
=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

=== The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]) ===<br />
While still recovering from the fever that restored her memories of New York, Ran receives a check-up from Vermouth in her Araide disguise. At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

=== Numabuchi and Mitsuhiko (Manga: [[Volume 35|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===<br />
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] was a murderer who was sought by the Black Organization to become one of their assassins, but his mental instability soon exempted him from that career. Instead, he was to become a human guinea pig for the new [[APTX 4869]] poison, under the supervision of [[Shiho Miyano]]. However, while Shiho had been given his file for research, she didn't get to meet Numabuchi personally; knowing about his impending fate, he escaped the Black Organization. During his flight, he panickedly murdered several people he suspected of being Black Organization pursuers.<ref>Manga Chapter 360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3</ref><br />
<br />
Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. Numabuchi encounters Mitsuhiko with a captured firefly, but rather than hurt him, Numabuchi carries him to the search parties and does not resist being arrested on.<ref>Manga Chapter 358-360: Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Footsteps of Darkness (Manga: [[Volume 37|380]]-[[Volume 38|383]], Anime: [[Episode 309|309-311]]) ===<br />
Two years ago, Suguru Itakura was coerced via a year of stalking to finish a computer program of unknown purpose for the Black Organization. Itakura's phone contact was Vermouth,<ref>The Bell Tree Express, [[Volume 78#File_818 - Mystery Train .28.22All Aboard.21.22.29|818-824]]</ref> who told him {{cquote|We can be both of God and the devil, since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time.|Vermouth's reply to Itakura's demand of who she thinks she is.}} For the "sake of the world", Itakura planned to deliver the program unfinished and flee the country. Conan manages to fool Vodka into arranging a meet at an unfinished train station; however, Gin realizes it is a set up. He nearly catches Conan hiding in the lockers, but leaves and takes the disk with him. Conan couldn't crack the password protection on the disk, so he couldn't find out more about the Organization, while Gin knows that someone is trying to investigate them. <br />
<br />
=== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume 41#Four Porsches Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ===<br />
Haibara is sick. Conan says that Dr. Araide (Vermouth) didn't pick up, so they go to a different clinic located near a shopping center where they can wait for the appointment time. Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara. While there, Vermouth bugs Agasa’a house. Later, Vermouth is seen in her office with the dart board pouring herself a drink. She takes Sherry's picture off the dartboard, says she's coming for Sherry, and burns it.<br />
<br />
=== Hidden Bathroom Secret (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423]]-[[Volume 42#Bathroom Murder Case|425]], Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===<br />
Through her bugs in Agasa's house, Vermouth overhears Agasa tell Conan about a possible line of information through an old friend of Haibara's father. Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />
<br />
Elsewhere, Vermouth calls [[Calvados]] and discusses killing 'her': either Shiho or Jodie.<br />
<br />
=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />
<br />
Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />
<br />
=== Boss's phone number ===<br />

Conan asks Haibara about [[Rum]], she told him that she knew he is the Organisation number 2, and she heard he has 3 different descriptions; a huge built man, a feminine looking man and an elder man.

<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Kuroda]], formerly Nagano Police First Division Chief, is the 1st suspect of Rum's identity, as he possesses a huge built and white hair that makes him look older, on top of that, lost his right eye during an accident 10 years before the current timeline. He is aware how good Conan is as a detective calling him "Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom". He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police. Haibara tells Conan she didn't sense the Organisation's aura from him, and that if he was Rum he would recognised her as [[Shiho Miyano]], yet nothing had happened yet.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />

For some reasons, his name is among the victims who were killed by [[APTX 4869]]. At the same time, a famous America investor [[Amanda Hughes]] was killed in her hotel room and her own bodyguard [[Asaka]] is missing. Asaka is believed to be the murder of Amanda and Kohji. The only clue left in the crime scene , is some shattered mirror glaces containing the letters P,T,O and N which belongs the compagny "PUT ON MASCARA".After the end of the case, [[Subaru]] and [[Conan]] manage to discover's Kohji's dying message, substracting p,t,o and n from PUT ON MASCARA. What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up.

Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page describes revelations about the Black Organization mostly in the order they occur in the plot. For a fully chronological order of events, please see [[Timeline]]. <br />
<br />
Due to early episodes of the anime not following Gosho's plots in the manga precisely, details about [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and the [[Black Organization]] were not initially included in several episodes and had to either be included via a different plot-relevant episode<ref>Gin and Vodka's names are revealed in the manga in [[Volume 4|Volume 4, File 33, Page 11]], on the train; in the anime, the train-bomb is perpetrated by unnamed lookalikes.</ref> or a rerelease of the episode with the plot elements reintroduced.<ref>[[Episode 128]] is a remix of [[Episode 13]], with the Black Organization elements returned.</ref> These changes are noted in the appropriate points in the timeline. The anime has come to adhere much more closely to Gosho's plot and art as time goes on, due to the tendency for crucial foreshadowing to be hidden in the [[List_of_differences_between_the_manga_and_anime#Season_10_-_Episodes_255-285|details of a single panel]] months before its significance comes to light. <br />

=== Gin, Vodka, and the Shrinking of Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Episode 1|1]]) ===<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] arrive at [[Tropical Land]] for a blackmail deal. When they ride the roller coaster to confirm that their mark arrived alone, they get caught up as suspects in a murder case that [[Shinichi Kudo]] solves. Shinichi follows Vodka to the blackmail transaction, where a businessman pays a briefcase full of money in exchange for photographic evidence of his involvement in weapons smuggling. Gin sees Shinichi eavesdropping and knocks him out with a metal pipe; due to the police and public presence, rather than shoot Shinichi they feed him the [[Black Organization|Black Organization's]] new experimental poison, [[APTX 4869]]. Leaving him for dead, they are unaware that the poison has transformed sixteen-year-old Shinichi to six-year-old [[Conan Edogawa]], who swears to expose them and their crimes.<br />

=== Akemi Miyano's Robbery (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|13-16]], Anime: [[Episode 128|128]])===<br />
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]<br />
<br />
==== Manga version ====<br />
In order to free both [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. <br />
<br />
[[Gin]] gives Akemi some "sleeping pills" with the instructions to dose the drink of her remaining partner; when she does, she discovers too late that they were poison. Recognizing the cutthroat duplicity, she leaves the one billion yen in suitcases at the front desk of the hotel where the giant-like man died and takes empty cases to go meet Gin and Vodka. She leaves the hotel just as [[Conan]] arrives with Kogoro and [[Inspector Megure]], having been tracking her since the death of Kenzo. At the meeting place amidst shipping crates, Gin demands the money, but Akemi refuses until they release her sister as agreed. Gin informs her that her sister is far too valuable to the organization to ever let go, and the robbery was a trick to get rid of Akemi rather than let her leave with knowledge of the organization. Conan arrives at the meeting location just in time to find Akemi alone, bleeding out from a gunshot wound. Akemi tells Conan that the [[Black Organization]] was the true mastermind behind the robbery; that they like to dress in black to resemble crows, but she knows little else from having been kept at the edges. Rather than let them have the money, she asks Conan to retrieve the one billion yen from the hotel before the Organization can get their hands on it. Conan is helpless to do anything but watch her die, and the police rule her death as a suicide because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her. Conan privately reaffirms his grim determination to expose the Black Organization for ''all'' their crimes.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|right|Conan talks to a dying Akemi.]]<br />
==== Anime version ====<br />
Even though Akemi Miyano/Masami Hirota was introduced much earlier into the anime series in episode 13, the case had all mention of the men in black edited out. In order to fix the gaping plothole, the animators reintroduced her with a remix of the original case that included the Black Organization elements episode 128, while her previous appearance is ignored.<br />
<br />
In episode 128, Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Akemi manages to meet with Gin and Vodka anyway and demands the release her sister and herself from the Organization, as promised, before she gives them the one billion yen. However, she is betrayed and killed by Gin. Vodka finds the key of the locker where Akemi hid the money inside her pocket and they leave the scene, without knowing that it’s only a fake. By the time Conan finds out Akemi's location, it is already too late. It is in this moment that Conan learns about the Black Organization being the true mastermind behind the robbery. In her last words, Akemi gives Conan the real key and asks him to find the stolen money before Gin and Vodka do. Her death is concluded to be a suicide by the police, because only her fingerprints are found on the gun that killed her.<br />

[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]<br />
=== The Bullet Train Bomb (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]])===<br />
The anime episode with this plot was reworked so that the two "men in black" are simply lookalikes of Gin and Vodka, not the men themselves. As a result, this section summarizes only the manga events.<br />
<br />
[[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.<br />

=== Tequila at the Mantendo Convention (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Episode 54|54]])===<br />
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima.<ref>[[Volume 12|Volume 12, File 116, Page 18]]</ref> The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him. <br />
<br />
Later, when Conan-a-Kogoro solves the case and orders Hideaki to reveal where he met with Tequila, Hideaki confesses that they met at the bar ''Le Cocktail'' in the "Black Building" in Beika. However, although Conan rushes to the building as soon as he learns of it, just before he can reach the bar it is destroyed in an explosion of such degree not a scrap of evidence remains. <br />

=== Ai Haibara, AKA Sherry (Manga: [[Volume 18|176]]-[[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[Episode 129|129]]) ===<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|left|thumb|right|Shiho swallows the APTX 4869.]]<br />
[[Shiho Miyano]] already resented the Black Organization for dictating her life and then taking the incomplete [[APTX 4869]] to use as a poison. When she learns that [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]] was killed after getting more involved in the Organization for Shiho's sake, Shiho boycotts her research until she receives an explanation for why Akemi died. The Organization will not, and since her refusal to work and her knowledge of the Organization makes her a liability, decides to execute her unless she relents. Handcuffed inside a gas chamber, she takes a dose of APTX 4869 to die on her own terms. To her surprise, she also shrinks into a child, which frees her from the handcuffs and lets her escape through a ventilation pipe in the room.<ref>[[Volume 18|Volume 18, File 179, Page 8]]</ref> She attempts to reach [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house, as she already suspected his identity as [[Conan Edogawa]] after discovering that between two separate sweeps in his house by her team to confirm whether Shinichi was dead by the poison, the grade-schooler clothes in Shinichi's house disappeared. Shiho had noted a single mouse in all her research that shrank instead of died, and during a lunch date after the billion yen robbery, Akemi described Conan as a miniature adult living with Shinichi's [[Ran|childhood friend]]. <br />
<br />
Strain causes Shiho to collapse outside of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa's]] house, who takes her in and agrees to become her guardian. Shiho chooses the alias "[[Ai Haibara]]" to hide her identity and joins Conan's class at [[Teitan Elementary]]. At school, the [[Detective Boys]] befriend her before a classmate asks them to find his missing brother. During that case, a witness mentions a woman dressed completely in black. Conan accidentally lets slip aloud that he is after her because she might be connected to the men in black who shrunk him; the Detective Boys are understandably confused at the comment, but he dismisses it and heads off alone to investigate. The Detective Boys follow him with Haibara help, and together they foil the operation and the police arrest the counterfeiters. Despite the woman's clothes, she knows nothing about the Organization. Elsewhere, Gin speaks on the phone with an unknown party about a missing person who must be alive because no body has found; Gin wants him dead or alive.<br />
<br />
[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|right|Haibara cries on Conan after asking why he hadn't saved [[Akemi Miyano|her sister]].]] Conan walks Haibara home, as she lives at 2-22 Beika, in Conan's neighborhood. On the way home, to Conan's utter shock and horror, Haibara reveals her identity as Sherry, the creator of the APTX 4869 poison. Informing him that she marked his status as deceased in the Organization, and that she had never ''intended'' to create a poison, does little to diminish his anger. Agasa mentions that as the creator, she might be able to create an antidote; however, Haibara cannot remember all the data, and the research facility was already demolished by the Organization in an explosion to cover their tracks. She mentions that if the drug continues to be used as a poison, the odds are high that someone else will shrink and the Organization will realize the possible effect, and if she is discovered Conan's cover will also be blown. She also remembers that she sent a floppy disk with drug and organization data to Akemi by accident, years ago, and they might be able to find the find the disk in the possession of Akemi's old professor, Masami Hirota. Conan finds the name familiar, but can't remember why. Learning that they are friends of Akemi, Masami invites them to come retrieve the disks, but in the three hours it take to reach his house, the professor is murdered and all computer data and disks stolen. Investigating the scene, Conan and Haibara speculate the Organization would have had record of Shiho's actions, but they recognize Vodka's disguised voice on the answering machine and both know that the message would have been erased if the Organization had been the culprits. The Organization could not have obtained the floppy; Conan defies Haibara's expectations and proves the "accidental death" is a murder. To Conan's surprise, Haibara's response is to break down in tears and demand why he couldn't be clever enough to save her sister's life—Akemi Miyano used her professor's name as her alias to hire Kogoro.<br />
<br />
A week later, the disk is released from police evidence and Haibara tries to access it from Agasa's computer. However, it has been protected with the [[Night Baron]] virus, which deletes all the data whenever the disk is accessed from a computer that does not belong to the Organization. Another brief scene with Gin and Vodka reveal that Hirota was the man they wanted dead or alive, and they are determined to find Sherry and whoever may have helped her escape. <br />

While they are being questioned, Haibara investigates Pisco's computer in the wine cellar and then drinks [[baijiu]] on Conan's orders. She grows back into Shiho to escape up the fireplace chimney onto the snow-covered roof. However, Gin and Vodka intercept her on the roof; Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber.

Conan again comes to the rescue, tricking Pisco into accidentally starting a fire. Conan escapes with Haibara in the smoke and Gin arrives through the chimney and executes Pisco for getting caught on camera before Pisco can tell Gin the truth about Shiho. Haibara plans to leave the city, worried the Organization will find her, but Conan convinces her that staying put is the best thing to do exactly because Gin expects her to run and will never look for her in Beika again. Haibara also says that the disk with Organization data was lost in the fire, though this is later shown to be a lie Conan is unaware of.<ref>Manga: [[Volume_25#Dangerous_Cave_Case|File 251, page 9.]]</ref> Gin and Vodka also escape the police along with [[Vermouth]], who now intends to stay for a while in Japan.

At a bar after completing an assassination, Gin and Vodka are approached by Vermouth in a barman's disguise. Vodka is fooled, but Gin knows her instantly and is unamused. He asks if she found what she was looking for in Japan yet, but Vermouth plays coy about her goal and flirts with Gin instead. Elsewhere, Conan, Haibara and the detective boys are on a bu to go skiing. Conan and Haibara quietly discuss the Organization and Haibara reveals that she can recognize the presence of one of them by a distinctive "smell" only Organization members emit. She explains that she couldn't identify Pisco at the wake because she wasn't sure—he was overshadowed by [[Vermouth|someone]] with a stronger scent and evil aura. Almost immediately, Ai reacts to the sudden presence of a member on the bus just before Araide and Jodie, and [[Shuichi Akai|an evil-eyed man in a dark ski cap]] all board the bus. When a busjacking occurs, Vermouth as Araide protects Conan from the busjackers. Ai is certain Vermouth, whose presence she recognizes, is on the bus, but she does not tell Conan.

=== Vermouth in New York City (Manga: [[Volume 34|350]]-[[Volume 35|354]]. Anime: [[Episode 286|286-288]])===<br />
In a flashback to one year ago, high school first-years Shinichi and Ran meet Vermouth under her original name of Sharon Vineyard, [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]] old friend and fellow actress. Sharon gets Yukiko out of a speeding ticket by impersonating a police captain. Shinichi is shocked that Sharon's disguise was so flawless; Sharon and Yukiko both learned disguise from a [[Toichi Kuroba|famous Japanese magician]], but Sharon was always the better at it. By this time, Sharon has already established her secondary identity as her own estranged daughter, Chris Vineyard, for possibly as long as ten years. Sharon has had a bitter life but takes a shine to Ran, though she seems to sense ahead of time that when Ran saves the life of an actress, something bad would happen, but leaves rather than try to prevent it. While Shinichi solves his second solo murder, Sharon goes out in disguise as an older male serial killer, though the reasons for her assignment remain unknown. On the way back to the hotel, Shinichi and Ran encounter Vermouth as the serial killer, wounded by an earlier firefight with the FBI. Vermouth nearly shoots Ran but the railing Vermouth was leaning against unexpectedly crumbles. Ran, with Shinichi's help, saves Vermouth from falling to her death. Vermouth demands to know why Shinichi would have done such a thing, and Shinichi counters that unlike murdering, no reason is needed to save a life. Ran faints, and Shinichi lets Vermouth go in order to get Ran home safely, confident that Vermouth wouldn't shoot them because it would summon the FBI she wouldn't be able to escape with her injuries. However, he promises that eventually he ''will'' put Vermouth in jail. Vermouth creates a fake suicide scene for the serial killer, though she makes Shinichi suspicious with the lack of blood and fingerprints at the death scene, but with no leads the police cannot pursue her and she presumably moves on to another assignment.<ref>After Ran recovers her memories of New York, Shinichi mentions his investigation to her in The Haunted House Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 35#Haunted Apartment Case|355]], Anime: [[The Truth of the Haunted House|274]]).</ref><br />

At this point, Vermouth still needs to give testimony at court about the Araide family murder case but she has already obtained and returned the case files. Vermouth is having some difficulty keeping in character; one of her patients says that Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger. Also, Vermouth claims to have sent Araide's grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori, which is strange because it was established in [[Volume_24#Blackout_Murder_Case|Files 235-236]] that Araide didn't trust them (especially the maid) to take care of themselves.<br />

Several months after his re-arrest in Osaka, Numabuchi is escorted into a forest in Gunma after having claimed that the body of a fourth victim was buried there. In truth, he intends to pay a last visit to his childhood friends, the fireflies living in the forest, before his execution. He escapes from [[Misao Yamamura]] in the forest and Haibara becomes highly unnerved that she fails to sense him while they look for [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], who was attempting to collect some fireflies as a surprise for Haibara and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]].

Conan ends up surprise-interviewed outside a café famous for its porridge, which causes Akai to head there under the assumption Haibara will be there as well. Akai overhears Agasa call Araide, since he can't get to the other clinic due to the case. Jodie gives Agasa, Araide and Haibara a ride to Agasa's house, where Vermouth treats Haibara.

Professor Miyano rented out his childhood home to his old friend. Twenty years ago, he visited with Elena and Akemi to speak with his friend, but never had the chance to and then never returned. Akemi returned once more a few days before she died and hid something in the bathroom of the house. The Organization broke into the house twice—once to plant a bug to see if Akemi hid anything or returned, and again to remove the bug after it was determined none of the inhabitants knew about anything hidden. After solving the murder, Conan found what Akemi hid and turns it over to Haibara. They are cassette tapes recorded by Elena Miyano for Shiho, labeled for each of her childhood birthdays. Anticipating she would die soon, Elena left the tapes as a legacy for Shiho, but Akemi never had the chance to give them to Shiho. <br />

=== Showdown with Vermouth and the FBI (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Episode 345|345]]) ===<br />
Vermouth reveals her existence to Conan and knowledge of his identity by sending an invitation to a costume party addressed to both Conan and Shinichi. The same invitation is sent to Kogoro. At the party itself, Vodka attends and is shocked to learn that "Shinichi Kudo" is supposedly alive and present to solve the murder mystery. (However, the true identity of Shinichi is actually Heiji acting to mislead Vermouth, so Shinichi's survival is not confirmed to the bulk of the Organization.)<br />
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|Vermouth removes the disguise of Dr. Araide.]]<br />
Over the course of events, Vermouth is revealed to be Dr. Araide, Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard, the murderer of Jodie's FBI-agent father 20 years ago, and the silver-haired serial killer in [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|New York]]. Vermouth intended to lure out and assassinate Sherry with the help of [[Calvados]], but the combined efforts of Conan, Jodie, Akai, and even Ran foil the attempt, despite Haibara's initial intention to die to protect the people in her life she cares about. Ran, who hid in Jodie's car to arrive at the confrontation, turns herself into a shield for Haibara before Ran can shoot her. Vermouth flashes back to New York, and Ran saving her life despite thinking she was the serial killer, and cannot bring herself to shoot her "angel". Calvados is neutralized by Akai, but Vermouth escapes with Conan. After contacting the boss, who order her "back to his side", she discovers that Conan recorded the sounds of her phone dialing, and he orders her to take him to the boss or he'll deduce the address himself from the phone number. She acknowledges Conan's skill and says she'll stop pursuing Sherry, but then fills the car with sleeping gas to create a "duel" between them. Vermouth wakes up first, but rather than killing Conan as he expects, she merely destroyed the recorder and escapes to a roadside phone booth where she calls Gin and Vodka to pick her up. Gin asks if she recognizes the name Shinichi Kudo; even as she recalls the memory of Shinichi in New York after they saved her life, she denies knowing him.<br />

Shuichi Akai is considered by many people in the Organization, including the boss (but not Gin), to be a "silver bullet" who could destroy the Organization. Vermouth thinks Shinichi is a silver bullet himself, but she deliberately leaves him alive. She has no qualms with trying to kill Akai, since she believes that only one silver bullet is necessary, but this implies that Vermouth may wish to see the Organization ended. <br />

<br />
<br />
=== Rum ===<br />
=== The 3 Descriptions of Rum (Manga: [[Volume 86|File 906-908]] ; Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===<br />
Conan asks Haibara about [[Rum]], she told him that she knew he is the Organisation number 2, and she heard he has 3 different descriptions; a huge built man, a feminine looking man and an elder man. At the end of the case, she remebered that Rum lost his eye in an accident and one of his eyes is artificial.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Kuroda]], formerly Nagano Police First Division Chief, is the 1st suspect of Rum's identity, as he possesses a huge built and white hair that makes him look older, on top of that, lost his right eye during an accident 10 years before the current timeline. He is aware how good Conan is as a detective calling him "Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom". He was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto, becoming First Division Managing Officer of Tokyo Police. Haibara tells Conan she didn't sense the Organisation's aura from him, and that if he was Rum he would recognised her as [[Shiho Miyano]], yet nothing had happened yet.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda's Murder Case from 17 years Ago (Manga: [[Volume 89|948]]-[[Volume 90|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===<br />
[[Kohji Haneda]], was killed 17 years ago throygh unknown means while he was in America to participate in a chess tournament. For some reasons, his name is among the victims who were killed by [[APTX 4869]]. At the same time, a famous America investor [[Amanda Hughes]] was killed in her hotel room and her own bodyguard [[Asaka]] is missing. Asaka is believed to be the murder of Amanda and Kohji. The only clue left in the crime scene , is some shattered mirror glaces containing the letters P,T,O and N which belongs the compagny "PUT ON MASCARA".After the end of the case, [[Subaru]] and [[Conan]] manage to discover's Kohji's dying message, substracting p,t,o and n from PUT ON MASCARA. What remains is U MASCARA, the letters can be rearranged to decipher the dying messga which is ASACA RUM, meaning [[Rum]] was the mastermind of this incident.<br />
<br />
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br />
Conan suspects that the missing bodyguard from Kohji Haneda's case Asaka is [[Rum]], however since it is not known whether it is a name or a surname, Asaka's gender can't be determined. Meanwhile, Kogoro was invited by the soul detective Gaito Hotta in his show so he could solve Kohji case by summoning the latter's spirit. However, he was murdered in his own hotel room before meeting Kogoro. The only information that Hotta has is that he heard that Asaka was holding a small mirror believing that Asaka is a woman, and was going to pretend that he summoned Kohji's spirit saying i'm about to be killed by a woman.<br />
After the end of the case, [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] discuss about the case, Gin comments that the case case was a job that Rum has screwed up. Gin is more intrigued about Kogoro who got involved in the case, sticking his nose into the Organisations's matters. Gin immediately suggests the detective to be finished off before he becomes more dangerous.<br />
<br />
=== A Song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90|954-957]], Anime: [[The Stage of Betrayal|866-867]]) ===<br />
Rokumichi Hado, a famous Rock musician, who took a hiatus 17 years ago, has released a new song called "ASACA". Seeing that the title ressembles the dying message of Kohji Haneda's case, Bourbon and Vermouth were tasked of investigating the contents of the song. However, Hado commited suicide for personal reasons. By the end of the case, the title of the song turned out to be a mere coincidence and unlrelated to the Black Organisation. It seems that the Organisation is aware of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa and Kanenori Wakita ===<br />
[[Rumi Wakasa]], a woman whose name bears a similiar ressemblence to Khoji's dying message (ASACA RUM), has become the Deputy Homeroom Teacher of Conan's class. She appears to be clumsy and incapable teacher. However, out of sight of the others, she appears to a be a skilled fighter with an intimidating look. She is also intelligent, as she helped Conan solve cases, using her clumsiness to give him hints. She appears to be interested in Conan, as the latter noticed her suspicious actions that led him involved into various cases. During the Burning tent murder case, she reacted when one of the suspects mentioned a prostethic eye, and was shocked when she saw the superintendent; Hyoue Kuroda. During the case, Haibara and Conan noticed that Rumi can't see through her right eye, making her a suspect of Rum's true identity. At the end of the case, Conan notices that Rumi is carrying an object that has the shape of a shogi piece in her backpocket.<br />
<br />
[[Kanenori Wakita]] is a sushi chief at Beika Iroha Sushi next to Mouri Detective Agency. He is the 3rd suspect of Rum's identity, due to his huge build, being middle-aged and also due to having an eyepatch that covers his injured left eye. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. Wakita offers, "Horrible stuff, that was! Wanna see?" which is immediately rejected by Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mouri. He is a fan of mysteries, and also appears to have deductive skills, as Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. After Conan solved the pickpocket case as Sleeping Kogoro, Wakita requests to be Kogoro's disciple, in exchange for cheap sushi, which Kogoro accepts.<br />
<br />
=== The Shadow Approaching Shinichi Kudo and the True Identity of the Boss ===<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
In this case, Conan turns into Shinichi Kudo, and solves a double murder case along with Heiji Hattori and Masumi Sera. After the case is solved, the public began discussing the case with one of them mentioning Shinichi among the detectives who solved the case in a tweet. The news of Shinichi being involved became a huge uproar in the media. Meanwhile, Kuroda and Wakita are seen reading an article that mentions the involvement of Shinichi in the case, while Rumi, whose body is scarred, is checking the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, where Shinichi and Kohji Haneda's name are highlighted.<br />
<br />
=== Missing [[Maria Higashio]] Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBA) ===<br />
Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo managed to convince the fan to withdraw her claim of seeing Shinichi, in an exchange for an autograph. The fan managed to do so by telling the media in a new tweet that the Shinichi Kudo she saw was nothing but an illusion. Heiji Hattori also calmed the media down claiming the one thay saw is [[Soshi Okita]] who ressembles Shinichi.<br />
However,the Black Organisation quickly saw through the deception, as Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up as "Time is Money", which the latter agrees. At the end of the case, Yusaku told Conan that he discussed with Subaru about Kohji Haneda's case, and both came into concusion that ASACA and Rum aren't two words, but one word instead which is "CARASUMA". Yusaku quickly recognised this name as [[Renya Karasuma]], the most millionaire in Japan who is supposed to be dead a long time ago. Yusaku and Yukiko decided to stay in Japan to think of a plan. From now on, they're in a do-or-die situation. Just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
We finally reached the identity of the Boss of the Organization. All for the sake of returning to his original form.<br />

'''Nanatsu no Ko''' (七つの子, lit. "Seven children or Child of seven")<ref name="bulldog2">http://bulldog2.redlands.edu/dept/AsianStudiesDept/music_ed/baby_crows.htm (also source of the rōmaji and English lyrics)</ref><ref name="kodomo">http://www.kodomo.go.jp/gallery/KODOMO_WEB/authors/noguchi_e.html</ref>, is a popular Japanese children's song written by {{nihongo|[[Wikipedia: Ujō Noguchi|Ujō Noguchi]]|野口雨情|Noguchi Ujō}}. The [[The Boss|boss]] of the [[Black Organization]] uses this song to encode his phone number.<br />
<br />
== Name ==<br />
The name of the song can be validly read in two ways: ''seven children'' or ''child of seven'', meaning seven year old child. Although not a literal translation, the song name is occasionally romanized as ''Seven Baby Crows'' or ''The Crow's Seven Chicks''.<ref name="rloftus">http://www.willamette.edu/~rloftus/Crow%20Song.htm</ref><br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
Ujō Noguchi wrote and published Nanatsu no Ko in ''Kin no Fune'' (''The golden ship'') magazine on July 1921.<ref name="rloftus"/><ref name="kodomo"/> Nanatsu no Ko is used as the departure melody at Isohara Station in Kitaibaraki.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
[[File:Hearing Nanatsu no Ko.jpg|thumb|left|Conan hears Kir dial the boss' number.]]<br />
=== Vermouth arc ===<br />
Conan first heard the boss's phone number when Vermouth texted the boss after the showdown with her. He didn't recognize the tune at first although he thought it was familiar sounding and had a sad feeling to it.<br />
<br />
=== Cellphone arc ===<br />
Conan noticed that the first few notes sounded very close to the area code for Tottori prefecture. He guessed that it was a song starting with notes "B A G A". He discovered the song Nanatsu no Ko matched the sound of the key presses after asking [[Kyosuke Haga]] what songs start with "H A G A" (B is substituted for H in German).<br />
<br />
The phone number<ref>In Japan, an e-mail address is assigned to each mobile phone.</ref> follows the tune of the first few notes "Mother crow, why do you cry?" of the song. The area code phone number for Kurayoshi and Yazu in Tottori Prefecture, 0858, do sound like the "Mother crow" part, but "Why do you cry" doesn't work. The notes on a cell phone are ''FA'' for 1, 2, 3; ''SOL'' for 4, 5, 6; ''LA'' for 7, 8, 9; and ''SI'' for *, 0, #. Each note gates slightly lower as you move to the left on the dial. So if we start with # and not 0, and don't care if the notes are slightly off, we get the email address #969#6261<ref>In episode 398 the number is erroneously written as #696#6261.</ref>, which was purposefully made non-functional by Gosho Aoyama to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref><br />
<br />
=== Kir arc ===<br />
He heard [[Kir]] dial the boss' number and discovered she was a member of the Black Organization. Later [[Eisuke Hondou]], who knew the number by the tune because [[Ethan Hondou|his father]] used to text the boss, heard someone in the hospital where Kir was being held dial it. Ran relayed this information to Conan who learned there was an [[Rikumichi Kusuda|undercover Organization spy]] among the patients looking for Kir.<br />

Ujō Noguchi wrote and published Nanatsu no Ko in ''Kin no Fune'' (''The golden ship'') magazine on July 1921.<ref name="rloftus"/><ref name="kodomo"/> Nanatsu no Ko is used as the departure melody at Isohara Station in Kitaibaraki.<br />
<br />
== Plot ==<br />
[[File:Hearing Nanatsu no Ko.jpg|thumb|left|Conan hears Kir dial the boss' number.]]<br />
=== Vermouth arc ===<br />
Conan first heard the boss's phone number when Vermouth texted the boss after the showdown with her. He didn't recognize the tune at first although he thought it was familiar sounding and had a sad feeling to it.<br />
<br />
=== Cellphone arc ===<br />
Conan noticed that the first few notes sounded very close to the area code for Tottori prefecture. He guessed that it was a song starting with notes "B A G A". He discovered the song Nanatsu no Ko matched the sound of the key presses after asking [[Kyosuke Haga]] what songs start with "H A G A" (B is substituted for H in German).<br />
<br />
The phone number<ref>In Japan, an e-mail address is assigned to each mobile phone.</ref> follows the tune of the first few notes "Mother crow, why do you cry?" of the song. The area code phone number for Kurayoshi and Yazu in Tottori Prefecture, 0858, do sound like the "Mother crow" part, but "Why do you cry" doesn't work. The notes on a cell phone are ''FA'' for 1, 2, 3; ''SOL'' for 4, 5, 6; ''LA'' for 7, 8, 9; and ''SI'' for *, 0, #. Each note gates slightly lower as you move to the left on the dial. So if we start with # and not 0, and don't care if the notes are slightly off, we get the email address #969#6261<ref>In episode 398 the number is erroneously written as #696#6261.</ref>, which was purposefully made non-functional by Gosho Aoyama to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref><br />
<br />
=== Kir arc ===<br />
He heard [[Kir]] dial the boss' number and discovered she was a member of the Black Organization. Later [[Eisuke Hondou]], who knew the number by the tune because [[Ethan Hondou|his father]] used to text the boss, heard someone in the hospital where Kir was being held dial it. Ran relayed this information to Conan who learned there was an [[Rikumichi Kusuda|undercover Organization spy]] among the patients looking for Kir.<br />

'''{{nihongo|Seiji Asoh|麻生成実|Asō Seiji}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Seiji Asoh is a serial killer from Tokyo, where he's known as '''{{nihongo|Narumi Asai|浅井成実|Asai Narumi}}''', a female doctor from Tsukikage Island who liked to heal children, but he commits suicide after having been uncovered for the serial murders he had done. His father was Keiji Asoh, a famous musician. One night 12 years ago Keiji along with his wife and his daughter were killed in a fire. Everyone assumed that Keiji had murdered his family and committed suicide. Seiji wasn't killed, because he had been in a hospital in Tokyo. Later he got adopted.<br />
<br />
== Plot overview ==<br />
In the second murder, they found that he had been dead for only a few minutes but when [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] fell on the code of blood, it didn't smear when it takes 25-30 minutes for human blood to dry. It was just a trick that the killer used to manipulate the time of death of the victim. Upon looking at the pictures, there was a button that was lighted near Kuroiwa's neck. But after the body was moved, the light was turned off. This was actually the reverse button. While the police weren't looking, the killer turned off the light. The killer used the reverse side (the blank side that didn't have the song), which played for over 30 min and then it reversed. That was when the 5 minutes and 30 seconds of gap played before the music started.<br />
<br />
In the third murder, the killer didn't have the time to put a chair or desk at Nishimoto's feet because he had to escape in time. The killer was probably male because the murders required a lot of physical strength.<br />
<br />
The purpose of drowning Kawashima was to send the forensic examiner back to Tokyo, because it was impossible to do an autopsy on the island. The tape in the second murder was a setup so the killer could create an alibi.<br />
<br />
Conan deduced that the killer was Narumi Asai and that she was, in fact, Asoh's aforementioned son, Seiji Asoh. Asai was probably the surname of the family that adopted him. After graduation, he came to the island as a female doctor. The pronunciation of his name was not written on his diploma, nor the medical license, because if they checked his history, they would have found out that he was a man: the kanji forming Asoh's name could be read as either "Seiji" (a male-only name) or "Narumi" (a female-only name): coupled with Asoh's feminine features and rather girlish voice, it let him masquerade as a female doctor rather well, plus falsifying the times of death and manipulating the crime scenes. He also stayed all night so that they'd make him last for questioning, keeping the "disguise" intact.<br />
<br />
As for Murasawa, he was an admirer of the late Asoh and he was the one who kept the donated piano in tune just like that night.<br />
<br />
As Conan-through-[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] explained all of this, suddenly the police came in and said that Seiji/Narumi had escaped. While they were looking for him, the community center building suddenly went up in flames: it turns out Seiji, who had realized that he had been found out, locked himself inside and set it on fire, intending to die like his father.<br />
<br />
Conan, carrying Asoh's last music sheets with his message for the then-young Seiji, managed to slip in and told Seiji, who was sitting at the piano, to keep on living. Seiji confirmed that he was the young boy who escaped his family's murder, plus everything that Conan-through-Kogoro had already said (explained below in "Motive"). When Seiji was done, Conan insisted that he should escape and live; Seiji refused, however, saying that he was already too bloodstained. Then, he grabbed Conan and threw him through the window, saving his life. Afterwards, he played one last music code message in the burning flames: "Thank you, little detective."<br />
<br />
Seiji's motive dated back when his father, the pianist Keiji Asoh, and his family was murdered. Kawashima, Nishimoto, Kuroiwa, and Kameyama used Asoh's international concerts as a front for their international drug trade. When Asoh stated that he wouldn't cooperate any longer, they got scared that their secret might be exposed, so they locked the family in their home and set it on fire. This was all written in the sheet music that he left behind in the safe as his confession to his remaining son. Seiji was hospitalized in Tokyo at the time of the murder, and later was adopted by a friend of the Asoh family.<br />
<br />
Seiji went back to the island, under his "Narumi" disguise, bewcause he never believed the official "Keiji Asoh killed his family and himself" version and wanted to find out the truth. As said above, when he told Kameyama that he was Asoh's son, the late mayor was terrified and told him everything an then had a fatal heart attack. Seiji played the Moonlight Sonata that his father loved so much upon seeing the mayor dead, and ultimately that gave him the idea of taking justice in his own hands.<br />
<br />
After Seiji's death and the end of the case, Conan and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] talked about him. They wondered why did Seiji summon Kogoro when he knew how risky that would be for his plan, and Conan speculated that it wasn't just a challenge - that deep down, Seiji wanted Kogoro to stop him.<br />
<br />
== Aftermath ==<br />
Seiji's death left an impression on Conan, who might feel that he is no more different than a murderer for driving Seiji to suicide with his deduction and didn't manage save him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
He's very nice towards other people, especially children. He's also the first Tsukikage person Conan, Ran, and Kogoro meet.<br />

'''{{nihongo|Ayako Suzuki|鈴木 綾子|Suzuki Ayako}}''', known in the Funimation english dub as '''Angie Sebastian''', and now '''{{nihongo|Ayako Tomizawa|富沢 綾子|Tomizawa Ayako}}''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is [[Sonoko Suzuki]]'s older sister.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:EP72-Ayako.jpg|thumb|left|Opened eyes (episode 72).]]<br />
Ayako Suzuki is a graduate student interested in film. She was in a film club while an undergraduate, holding the role of Head of Makeup and Costumes, and hosted the club reunion.<br />
<br />
She first appears when one of her friends is murdered. She reappears again, engaged to Yuzo Tomizawa, when her father-in-law is murdered by her fiancee's older brother. She appears again during [[Kaitou Kid]]'s introduction, having missed the ship ride, however, her fiancee attends.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
In contrast to her younger sister, Ayako is much more polite, kind, and lacks the snobbish and shallow attitude Sonoko often displays. She acts relatively happy and she always appears as if she has her eyes closed, which is not an unheard character style in manga and anime respectively.<br />
<br />
According to Sonoko, Ayako is not a summer person, and dislikes being out in the sun, but she went to the family's summer villa for the chance to see her fiance.<br />

Due to an increase in the number of transfer students to Teitan Elementary school over the past year, they have hired new teachers. Rumi is the new Deputy Homeroom Teacher for Year 1 class B.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Her personality seems to be that of a well meaning but really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the [[Detective Boys]] on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her. However, once she was out of sight of the Detective Boys, her personality changed dramatically to that of a skilled fighter with a scary face, where she rendered three assailants unconscious with a broom in what could have been seconds.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:MR-17898-277316-2.jpg|thumb|right|Terumi Arai]]<br />
Her character design is very similar to Terumi Arai, the high school student and main protagonist in [[Gosho Aoyama's Collection of Short Stories#Tell Me A Lie|Tell Me A Lie]].<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
Although not directly seen, it seems that she is a skilled fighter. It is still unknown what style she uses. She has also shown her reasoning and deductive abilities, giving hints to Conan to solve a case.<br />

=== The Old Warehouse of Teitan Elementary School (Manga: [[Volume 91#The Old Warehouse of Teitan Elementary School|966-968]], Anime: [[The New Teacher's Skeleton Case|889-890]]) ===<br />
[[File:Rumi's secret.jpg|thumb|right|Rumi about to attack the robbers.]]<br />
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] introduces her class to the new Deputy Homeroom teacher, Rumi Wakasa. She appears to be a clumsy, shy and fearful person. Rumi approaches the [[Detective Boys]] for their help retrieving quicklime from the old warehouse in the school yard which causes them to come across a dead body. Over the course of the case Rumi uses her clumsiness to give hints to Conan on how to solve the case. Once she was out of their sight, her personality completely changed and she beat up a few robbers.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa.27s Neighbor Murder Case|978-980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br />
Rumi overhears an argument between her neighbor and his girlfriend, as she was leaving for school, and smiles. Later she accidently destroys a picture that was going to be used for a school play and she says that she will redraw it. Conan and the detective boys accompanied her to help. After they finish, Rumi treats them to dinner. But when they hear loud sounds from the neighbor, they goes over to check it out and finds a dead body and an unconscious man. Later back in Rumi's apartment, Conan finds a receipt that may prove that she knew the case would happen before hand and invited them there on purpose. Later Rumi incapacitates the culprit under the guise of falling over. The news crews outside happen to take a picture and Ayumi gives them Rumi's name. [[Hyoue Kuroda]] is shown reading the news article on his phone. [[Kanenori Wakita]] is shown reading a newspaper, but the article is not shown to us.<br />
<br />
=== Burning Tent Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 93#Burning Tent Murder Case|987-989]], Anime: [[Mystery of the Burning Tent|909-910]]) ===<br />
[[File:Rumi stunned in silence.jpg|thumb|right|Rumi stunned in silence, can't hear Ayumi.]]<br />
Rumi takes the Detective Boys camping. Conan is suspicious of her and thought of strange things that he noticed in her present. When they approach a group cooking curry over a fire near by, one of them mentions that he has an injured eye and nearly had to get a prosthetic eye. Rumi clenches up, and Conan notices her gripping something in her pocket. A little bit later one of the other campers is burned alive inside his own tent. Kuroda emerges from an adjacent tent and asks her whether the police should be called. However Rumi is standing in stunned silence, staring forward. When she snaps back to reality, Haibara seems to notice that Rumi can't see out of her right eye. Conan starts to wonder if Rumi is clumsy on purpose or that she cannot see so she is clumsy. When Kuroda seems to know the order that everyone introduced themselves in, despite originally claiming to have had earplugs in while sleeping. Rumi accuses him of spying on someone. Rumi has the Detective Boys build an acorn balance toy, which leads to the solution of the case. After Conan and Kuroda uncover the culprit, the culprit uses Ayumi as a hostage, Rumi manages to distract him long enough for Kuroda and Yuminaga to arrest him. Kuroda showed interest in the intimidating words that Rumi used to distract him. On the other hand, Conan becomes more suspicious of Rumi, and notices a strange object in her back pocket that has a shape similar to that of a Shogi piece.<br />
<br />
=== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Kyoto School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[Crimson School Trip|928]]) ===<br />
[[File:Rumi scars atpx.jpg|thumb|left|Rumi with scars and APTX list.]]<br />
At the end of the case, news of Shinichi being one of the detectives that had solved the case spread to the internet. Both Kuroda and Wakita were shown seeing the information on their phones. However, Rumi was shown sitting in the dark looking at the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop. The names [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] appear to be highlighted. Additionally this is the first time we see her without a shirt on and she has scars on her upper arms as well as her back.<br />
<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Rumi makes an appearance in this case, asking Haibara about Shinichi and if Haibara has met Shinichi before. Later, a shogi piece that looks like promoted bishop is lying next to her computer, while she reads a blog.<br />
<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Mini Patrol Car Police's Big Chase (Anime: [[The Mini Patrol Car Police's Big Chase|918]]) ===<br />
Genta gets kidnapped at an eel vending fair and the Detective Boys, without Haibara, run after the kidnappers' car and embark Yumi and Naeko's car to chase them. After losing track of them, Conan remembered who the kidnappers were and remembered they used signals at the fair so they try to figure out what they tried to communicate. Then, Mitsuhiko remembered the burning tent case and the reference to the counting system. A flashback of Haibara and Rumi's leg was shown.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===<br />
Rumi is the new Deputy Homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]].<br />
Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case , Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposelly uses clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occured in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she has bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realised the reason behinds his Sensei's actions; Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
=== Sumiko Kobayashi ===<br />
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her superior as homeroom teacher.<br />
<br />
=== Ryujiro Uematsu ===<br />
[[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda ===<br />
When Kuroda is investigating the [[Case from 17 years ago]], he is making a connection between her and [[Kohji Haneda]]; suspecting that there is a mysterious relationship between the two. During the burning tent murder case, Rumi became stunned when she heard one of the suspects mentions "prosthetic eye". At the end of the case , Conan notices a strange object in her backpocket whose shape ressembles that of a Shogi piece, hinting that Rumi might be related to Kohji Haneda's Case as Kuroda suspected.<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
Most likely her name is meant to resemble "ASAKA RUM", the code from [[Kohji Haneda#Kohji Haneda's Death Case (Manga: 948-950, Anime: TBA)|Kohji Haneda]]'s death from 17 years ago, with the addition of a W and an I.<br />

=== Situation ===<br />
At 6:00 AM in morning time, [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] had breakfast at Janothon's and begins to go jogging for exercising. While jogging, he met the part-timer named Hideko Sasamoto and says good morning to her. When he went ahead of her, Takagi found the bag and when he opens it, he found thirty million yen inside. Sasamoto thinks Takagi is a burglar but he tells her it's not what it looks like. At the police station, the officer confirms it's thirty million yen and it hasn't been reported about the lost and found items. When Sasamoto learns that Takagi is a police detective, she started apologizing to him for thinking that Takagi's a burglar.<br />
<br />
Later, Takagi starts questioning the old lady. The old lady happens to know a few people with the brown bag but Takagi is not familiar in the neighborhood where he is so the old lady is going to ask someone else. After that, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]] went to Takagi and they heard that he found thirty million yen so they decided to help Takagi to look for the person who lost it. Takagi told the Detective Boys that he found the bag in 6 AM so he's off duty today and he ran back from a friend's place from last night. Then he met the part-timer, Sasamoto, so he was jogging alongside with her. Finally he found the bag on the street (where they currently are). All of a sudden, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] appears with the unhappy face saying that he dropped a lot of money so he requests Takagi to lend him a hand. Takagi's cellphone rings and he answers it. The officer told Takagi that someone who lost the bag of thirty million yen came forward.<br />
<br />
At the police station, the man who works as a management of natural food stores named Toshiyuki Hiranuma claims that he's the person who lost the bag of thirty million yen. Apparently, his wife dropped it and she seems to be ill recently. The thirty million yen is said to be insurance money. When Takagi asks Hiranuma why did he dropped the money, he said it's a shameful story. He went home being drunk, and he realized he had no bag with him when he woke up. The police are going to return the money to Hiranuma eventually. Before Hiranuma takes his leave, Conan notices that there's white paint on his back and dirt on his shoes.<br />
<br />
At 9:32 AM, Takagi, Conan, and the Detective Boys are sitting on the stairs of the playground. Suddenly, the old lady that Takagi met this morning came and he brought the newspaperman who knows about the brown bag. He said at 5 AM, he was delivering newspapers, and he saw it.<br />
<br />
At the area where Takagi found the bag, Conan went inside the abandoned place. While looking, Conan found Hiranuma's footprints and the debris from the paint which that explains why Hiranuma has dirty shoes. The paint adhered to Hiranuma's back. This means Hiranuma was inside the abandoned place right before Takagi jogs to the area where he found the bag. Before Detective Takagi came, he placed the bag in the middle of the street. Even if it's early in the morning, after the newspaperman passed by and before Detective Takagi came, during that one hour time frame, nobody coming to the street is unthinkable. If the bag was placed on the street just before Takagi came, when he found the bag, he should've seen Hiranuma. In other words, at that time, until someone would find the bag, Hiranuma calculated the time, placed the bag in the middle of the street, and from the deserted shop, he was watching. Takagi figured it was for Sasamoto. Passing the street was a coincidence for Takagi, but Sasamoto said that every morning, she jogs by passing the street. This means Hiranuma wanted Sasamoto to find the thirty million yen.<br />
<br />
The group went to the supermarket to meet Hideko and after she learns that the money will be returned to its owner, she is happy to hear it. When Takagi asks Hideko about Hiranuma, she has no clue who he is. The group exit the supermarket and Hideko's boss named Kunitaro Oba came to Takagi by asking him was the culprit found. He was talking about the murder case of Hideko Sasamoto's husband. The culprit hasn't been caught and last month on the 30th, 15 years have passed. If it was from before, the statute of limitations will be up. As Takagi just saw Hideko's become cheerful; but at the time, Oba never saw her smile and she was always depressed. The truth is, Oba wanted to marry Hideko. Oba's proposal was rejected at first. Hideko said, "For me to be happy while you're gone is unfortunate." It sounds so strange. Recently, she started thinking about her own happiness, and last month, Hideko and Oba went to Hideko's husband's grave to ask for a request. Oba asked the deceased to let his wife go, but it's quite complicated. When Oba thinks about the culprit reappearing again, he wonders if Hideko will suffer the hatred. After the conversation, Oba went back to work in the supermarket.<br />
<br />
At 11:35 AM at the playground, Takagi is going to explain the murder case that happened in 15 years ago. The case occurred 15 years ago at night in a multi-tenant building of an office on the 4th floor. He probably feared the security cameras. He climbed the adjacent building's drain pipe up four floors and entered the office via the veranda. Working overtime alone, Akio Sasamoto (Hideko's husband) was murdered and the 5 million yen cash was stolen.<br />

<br />
However, the culprit's sneaker left a footprint at the scene. From the sneaker, a list of customers was made and a thorough investigation was carried out. Among the list of customers, Hiranuma's name was also in it. Conan sees that and to atone for that case, he tried to give 30 million yen to the victim's family of Sasamoto. He would have her find it, he, the owner, won't claim it, and in six months, the money would be hers. Hiranuma could be the culprit but he isn't actually. For Hiranuma, the crime was impossible to commit. When the investigator [[Tadayoshi Uno]] and a younger officer visited him, Hiranuma's leg was fractured. When they confirmed it with the hospital he went to, the broken leg was covered in cast three days before the incident. With a broken leg, you can't climb up to the 4th floor and with a cast, you can't wear sneakers either. The case from 15 years ago and Hiranuma's 30 million yen aren't related after all. Conan made a fake call from Kogoro for telling Takagi to look into something to check if at that time there was anyone near Hiranuma that broke their leg or not and telling the Detective Boys to get good information about Hiranuma. Conan with the Detective Boys and Takagi split up to start the investigation.<br />
<br />
A little while later, the Detective Boys went back together at the shop that was closed a month ago. At that time it seems his wife, who had been sick for a long time, passed away. Hiranuma seems very honest and nice. Only, recently there's one thing that's strange, even though he said, "I'm going to travel for a while," and left the house, in the end, he returned home that same day, it seems. This was about one week ago.<br />
<br />
At the dry cleaners, the man named Morita says that it was at the end of last month on the 30th. When he thinks about it, the night before, Hiranuma said something oddly strange. He said, "From a long time ago, I decided to do that, but when the time comes, I get scared. I'm such a pathetic guy." Afterward, he said, "money can't atone for it," repeatedly. And so, on the next day in the morning, Morita saw Hiranuma carrying the bag and wonder if he's going to the hot spring. Hiranuma wasn't going to the hot spring but he's going somewhere far for a bit. Then he told Morita to take care fo himself and takes his leave. Morita kind of felt like he was saying his last goodbye. Even so, that evening he said he couldn't go on vacation and came home. After Morita finishes his testimony, Mitsuhiko wonders what does this means.<br />
<br />
At the shop, the man named Kanzaki is having a beer and Takagi came by to have kake soba. Kanzaki claims that he lost his footing on the stairs and crack went his right leg. When Conan asks him about that he didn't have health insurance card, Kanzaki asks back of what's Conan saying all of sudden.<br />

=== Resolution ===<br />
<spoiler>In the afternoon, at the grave, Takagi brought Hiranuma, Hideko, and Oba to meet up with Kogoro. When Kogoro came, Conan knocks him out with his stun gun and starts deducing. It's about the 15-year-old case someone committed. He declares that the culprit is '''Toshiyuki Hiranuma'''. Takagi interrupts by saying that it's impossible for him to be the culprit because three days before the incident occurred, Hiranuma fractured his leg. Conan says just because the clinical records and x-rays were all in Hiranuma's name, doesn't mean he was the actual person. It's perhaps, Kanzaki borrowed his health insurance card. After the crime, Hiranuma made a cast with plaster himself. There's no evidence but if Hiranuma is innocent, then why has he not said one word in defense? Hiranuma says when Kanzaki fractured his leg, it came to him. Hiranuma loan his health insurance card to Kanzaki. He sadly confessses that it was him and apologizes. Hideko starts crying after hearing what Hiranuma just said. Hiranuma claims that he was irresponsible, a coward, and a hopeless delinquent. However, he met this one woman who changed his life. He married that woman and worked diligently. Then even though it was small, he managed to open his own shop. But, the happier their lives got, Hiranuma's past kept haunting him. Occasionally, he thought about turning himself in, but he couldn't do it. His wife fell ill and she has no relatives. If Hiranuma leaves, there would be nobody left to nurse her. His wife later then passed away a month ago. Then Hiranuma received the 30 million yen. The money was actually not dropped, but he purposefully placed it in the middle of the street. He was a coward and he was terrified of getting arrested by the police. Conan then interrupts claiming that it's not true. He deduces that Hiranuma was going to give Hideko the 30 million yen and then turn himself in. However, it didn't go as planned. About Hideko and Oba's visit to the grave, Hiranuma overheard them about Oba asking the deceased for Hideko's hand in marriage but she said, "For me to be happy while you're gone is unfortunate." Oba understands her feelings but it's been 15 years already. He also asked the deceased if he could release her state as a victim's relative. Then Hideko said she's not going to forget her husband but put the incident in the inner recess of her heart and forget about it. After they're done praying and left, Hiranuma couldn't show up because the victim's side was trying to forget the incident. The money of atonement Hiranuma was going to give, his apology, and turning himself in became impossible. If the culprit who has been hiding for 15 years turned himself in, of course the reporters would flood the victim's family. Just when they were trying to start a new life. No matter how hard Hiranuma try to convince himself, making the past as if it didn't happen is impossible. However, this is a special case. Hiranuma cannot erase the past, but he can bring it to an end. He will serve time. Sasamoto's job is to accept it. Once that's accomplished, there's no reason to drag this any further. Unreservedly, Hiranuma can have a fresh start. So now, Takagi starts arresting Hiranuma as the suspect of robbery and murder.</spoiler><br />

'''{{nihongo|Takanori Sewa|瀬羽 尊徳|Sewa Takanori}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Although he is only called the landlord in the anime and manga (家主 ''Yanushi'') and in the '''Funimation Dub''', the [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|sixth special]] gives him his current name. <br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Takanori Sewa is one of the richest men in Beika before he was arrested. He possessed a large mansion which could easily house his family: his wife, Mrs. Sewa, his son, and many other employees including maids and house-workers. He was the CEO of the Sewa Financial Group but his son inherited of the company after his arrest. His mansion is big enough to hold parties, receptions and has a large parking. It also has a meeting room where Takanori met Sonoko and Ran. He likes to buy extravagant furniture and clothes. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Being in the 60s, Sewa is practically bald except for a crown of long grey hair around his head. He isn't really tall and is pretty large. He also has an extremely large mustache which color corresponds to his hair's color. He always wear suits accompanied with a bowtie. He has a pretty athletic body since he was able to stop his wheelchair from going backwards and climb high structures like the balcony of Yamazaki's room. He pretended he was handicapped by a broken leg but it was revealed to be fake. <br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Takanori is pretty rich and really likes living his extravagant life and earn money. His motive for murder was probably because of financial problems with Yamazaki. He isn't subtle in disguising his stuff since he freaked out when Sonoko told him Shinichi was a detective. He remains serious and has a fake familiar looking style. He is wise enough to fabricate alibis and a murder trick although it was obvious. In the special, he seems to be more pleasant and nice towards people but it might be just tricks to make people believe he is good.<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Crime at the Private Mansion (Manga: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|File 1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]], Special: [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|6]]) ===<br />
In this case, Sonoko and her friends went home and had visit from Sewa and his wife. A few days later, Shinichi met the landlord again, but this time in a murder case that occured in a party he organized at his mansion. Shinichi investigates the case and Sewa is literally freaking out that Shinichi will find the truth. His crime is unmasked as Shinichi elaborates the different proofs and as Sewa tries to escape, Shinichi takes him down by throwing a globe at him. He is later arrested.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
==== Suzuki family ====<br />
Sewa is in good terms with the [[Suzuki family]] and is pretty close to them since both head of families are rich, although Sonoko brags that they are richer than him). Sonoko sometimes visit Sewa or other members of the family.<br />
<br />
==== Mrs. Sewa ====<br />
Sewa is in relatively good terms with his wife since they are always seen together. they seem to have been married for a while but in the manga, it is his wife that is killed and we don't know the motive. <br />
<br />
==== Sewa jr. ====<br />
He and his son are also in good terms and Sewa grants him much liberty.<br />
<br />
==== Maid ====<br />
One of the maids is seen in the special. She seems to be loyal towards him since she defended him.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
==== [[Juzo Megure]] ====<br />
He is the one who questionned him and put him on custody.<br />
<br />
==== Tetsu Yamazaki ====<br />
Tetsu Yamazaki, age 38, is another CEO of a company and is not as rich as Sewa. They weren't in good terms and he was invited to the party in purpose to be killed, in the manga and in the special. He was killed because he had financial problems towards Sewa.<br />

'''{{nihongo|Takanori Sewa|瀬羽 尊徳|Sewa Takanori}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Although he is only called the landlord in the anime and manga (家主 ''Yanushi'') and in the '''Funimation Dub''', the [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|sixth special]] gives him his current name. <br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Takanori Sewa is one of the richest men in Beika before he was arrested. He possessed a large mansion which could easily house his family: his wife, Mrs. Sewa, his son, and many other employees including maids and house-workers. He was the CEO of the Sewa Financial Group but his son inherited of the company after his arrest. His mansion is big enough to hold parties, receptions and has a large parking. It also has a meeting room where Takanori met Sonoko and Ran. He likes to buy extravagant furniture and clothes. <br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Being in the 60s, Sewa is practically bald except for a crown of long grey hair around his head. He isn't really tall and is pretty large. He also has an extremely large mustache which color corresponds to his hair's color. He always wear suits accompanied with a bowtie. He has a pretty athletic body since he was able to stop his wheelchair from going backwards and climb high structures like the balcony of Yamazaki's room. He pretended he was handicapped by a broken leg but it was revealed to be fake. <br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Takanori is pretty rich and really likes living his extravagant life and earn money. His motive for murder was probably because of financial problems with Yamazaki. He isn't subtle in disguising his stuff since he freaked out when Sonoko told him Shinichi was a detective. He remains serious and has a fake familiar looking style. He is wise enough to fabricate alibis and a murder trick although it was obvious. In the special, he seems to be more pleasant and nice towards people but it might be just tricks to make people believe he is good.<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Crime at the Private Mansion (Manga: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|File 1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]], Special: [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|6]]) ===<br />
In this case, Sonoko and her friends went home and had visit from Sewa and his wife. A few days later, Shinichi met the landlord again, but this time in a murder case that occured in a party he organized at his mansion. Shinichi investigates the case and Sewa is literally freaking out that Shinichi will find the truth. His crime is unmasked as Shinichi elaborates the different proofs and as Sewa tries to escape, Shinichi takes him down by throwing a globe at him. He is later arrested.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
==== Suzuki family ====<br />
Sewa is in good terms with the [[Suzuki family]] and is pretty close to them since both head of families are rich, although Sonoko brags that they are richer than him). Sonoko sometimes visit Sewa or other members of the family.<br />
<br />
==== Mrs. Sewa ====<br />
Sewa is in relatively good terms with his wife since they are always seen together. they seem to have been married for a while but in the manga, it is his wife that is killed and we don't know the motive. <br />
<br />
==== Sewa jr. ====<br />
He and his son are also in good terms and Sewa grants him much liberty.<br />
<br />
==== Maid ====<br />
One of the maids is seen in the special. She seems to be loyal towards him since she defended him.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
==== [[Juzo Megure]] ====<br />
He is the one who questionned him and put him on custody.<br />
<br />
==== Tetsy Yamazaki ====<br />
Tetsu Yamazaki, age 38, is another CEO of a company and is not as rich as Sewa. They weren't in good terms and he was invited to the party in purpose to be killed, in the manga and in the special. He was killed because he had financial problems towards Sewa.<br />

When they stand to leave, Takanori accidentally puts his electronic wheelchair on reverse. Shinichi rushes to help, but Ran pushes him off, saves Takanori and catches the vase which was falling. Takanori initially scolds Ran for trying such a reckless stunt, but realizes his mistake and praises her.<br />

She finds it and goes to bid goodbye to Shinichi, who is reading at his home library. Ran thinks Shinichi's first crush was his actress mom, but he denies it. Ran questions then who was it? Shinichi stares for a while at Ran and tries to say that it was she, but Agasa interrupts this moment with a mobile rocket experiment gone wrong. Ran provides first-aid to Agasa. Shinichi thinks his experiments are way dangerous for a device carrying out transportation. Agasa brags that he put safety first in building his mobile rocket and starts it again.

==== Situation ====<br />
Takanori Sewa's New Year Party has been interrupted by a murder: one of the guests, President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank, was found dead with a knife that pierced through his heart. The police, led by Inspector Megure, have been investigating the crime scene, but have no conclusive evidence as to who the killer is. Shinichi makes his grand entrance and claims he has figured out the case.<br />

{{EndBox}}<br />
<br />
==== Resolution ====<br />
<spoiler><br />
==== Evidence ====<br />
* Shinichi states that the room Yamazaki was killed in was locked from the inside. The only possible entrance into the room was the window.<br />
* The mansion owner claims that there is at least a 10 meter gap between the two windows that Shinichi states the killer used. Shinichi points out, however, that if the killer used the roof to get closer to the other window, this gap is shortened to a mere 2 meters. Therefore, it could easily be jumped across.<br />
* Shinichi notes that there is an indentation on the balcony where the killer attached a rope with a piece of wood at the end, allowing the killer a way to get back across to the 3rd floor window, as it is impossible for the killer to have successfully landed on the 10 centimeter roof ledge coming back. By using a piece of wood rather than simply tying the rope to the balcony, the killer was able to remove evidence of his method of escape while on the other side of the building.<br />
* The lack of footprints below the window implies that it was an inside job.<br />
* Shinichi claims to have spoken with the killer's doctor.<br />
<br />
==== Conclusion ====<br />
Shinichi concludes that the murderer could only have been someone who knew the mansion very well and eventually points his finger at the '''landlord'''. The latter, being in a wheelchair, then starts to laugh, claiming that he's in no position to be able to commit such a crime. Shinichi then grabs a globe and throws it towards the owner who immediately jumps out of his chair to avoid it. The maid and guests are all in shock. Shinichi then says that he's been healed for a while now as reported by his doctor, which Megure confirms.<br />
<br />
==== Motive ====<br />
Although the episode does not clearly state the mansion owner's motive, it likely had something to do with the "under-the-table" financial dealings that the owner had with Yamazaki.<br />

==== Resolution ====<br />
<spoiler><br />
The culprit is '''Hitomi'''. She had dated Kishida in the past and was dumped by him. She killed him with a necklace he had purchased for her and tried to shift the blame to Kishida's new girlfriend, Aiko, by leaving a knife in her hand bag. Putting the weaponized "necklace" around his neck as the ride was going through the tunnel is something only a very flexible and agile person could do, and Hitomi was the only one able to do so since she was a skilled gym practitioner; Shinichi had decuded this after the wind lifted her skirt and he saw marks on her upper thighs, coming from her practising her gym routines.<br />

{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br />
* In the manga, the victim of the first case was the mansion owner's wife. In this version, similar to the original episode, a bank president named Yamazaki was killed instead. <br />
* Both Gin and Conan are shown in possession of cell phones in scenes that originally did not contain them. In the original, Shinichi simply witnessed the Black Organization deals and Gin had a camera; in the Special they both use their phones's cameras instead. <br />
* In the manga, Gin uses a metal rod to knock out Shinichi. Whereas in this version he uses his retractable walking stick, which makes more sense since a such a blow to the head would have left him with more than a minor injury.<br />
* In both manga and anime, Gin just places the pill in Shinichi's mouth and then forces him to drink the contents of a bottle to force him consume the poison that would shrink him. In the special, he also sticks his fingers up Shinichi's mouth to make sure the pill will be swallowed. <br />
* Hina Wada, a character created rather recently in the manga, gets a brief scene where she apprehends a thief by herself.<br />
* Characters not yet created at the start of the manga (like [[Wataru Takagi]], [[Kazunobu Chiba]], [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]) get cameos in the special.<br />
* Sewa was in a normal wheelchair in the manga and anime, whereas he uses an electronic one in the special.<br />
<br />
== Anime to Special Changes ==<br />
* In the original episode 1, Yamazaki was shot in the chest. In this version, he is stabbed with a knife.<br />
* Sewa's wife is seen alive and well. Her and Sewa's son shows up too.<br />
* The news castors that are talking about Shinichi as he walks by have been replaced by Rena Mizunashi and a co-host. <br />
* The scenes with the Detective Boys sneaking into the Mystery Coaster and finding the pearl strand were cut. Instead, Shinichi and Ran encounter them playing soccer earlier in the Special and Shinichi even plays soccer with them a little. <br />
* Ran and Shinichi visit Sonoko and her parents in their mansion, right before Sewa kills Yamazaki. Sewa himself is there and briefly freaks out when he realizes Shinichi's identity.<br />
* The karate tournament won by Ran is shown, with Hina Wada as her opponent. Additionally, both Makoto and Sonoko are seen and it's stated that this is when Makoto fell in love at first sight with Sonoko.<br />
* Instead of a shining white light censor, a dark blood fountain is seen during the decapitation scene. There's so much blood that Ran gets all stained with it.<br />
* During the flash forward, the scene where Akemi Miyano is killed is exactly like how it was in the original manga, while the anime altered this scene so that she would live, and later [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|another episode]] had to be made in order to fix the plothole.<br />
* The scene where Shiho sees Shinichi and Ran came from [[Nazo (La PomPon)|Nazo]].<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The subtitle of this episode "The Great Detective Turned Small" (Chīsakunatta Meitantei) is the same title that was used by [[Volume 1|file 002]] of the manga. <!--To keep consistency, I have translated the subtitle of this episode the same way it is listed on the [[Volume 1]] page.--><br />
* During Yusaku and Yukiko's brief appearance, they are in their "Night Baron" and "Fumiyo Edogawa" disguise from [[Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case]].<br />
* During the scene where Eri is talking to Kogoro over the phone, a calico cat is shown lying on her desk. This is Eri's previous cat that is mentioned in [[Volume 51#Cat Sitting Case|file 528]], it had died a month earlier off screen resulting in her taking in [[Goro]] from a friend. Since this Special takes place before that, her first cat is still alive. <br />
* The number Ran bears during the karate tournament is "910", which can also be read as "Kudo" in Japanese.<br />
* On the cover of [[Volume 93#File 984 - Eri Multiplies|Eri Multiplies]] Ran's texts for Shinichi are the exact same structure and content that were on Ran's note in this special: the note she left for him after their date at Tropical Land in, the one where Shiho finds with a picture of Shinichi and Ran.<br />
* The car of the man in the bar is a White Mercedes-Benz s 350 2011 although the logo is modified to avoid product placement.<br />

<br />

The man quickly tried to defend himself by saying that he isn't a rat and tries to excuse himself. He gets into his car, but is hesitant to start it for fear that it may explode.

Ran visits Shinichi at his house and they leave to buy the new phone Shinichi promised.<br />
<br />
On their way, they meet Genta, Ayumi and Mitshuiko who are playing soccer. Genta hits the ball hard and it goes off-side. Shinichi and Ran travelling through the same footpath give them their ball back. Ran questions why Shinichi left soccer, since he would have been a Samurai Blue Member by now if he continued. Shinichi explains he wanted to develop the reflexes needed for being a detective and cites Holmes who practised fencing. While Shinichi is expressing his fondness about Holmes, they hear a woman cry for help. A thief has stolen her purse. The thief makes a run but is intimidated by Hina Wada. Sonoko approaches Ran from behind and takes her to her home with Shinichi following them behind.<br />

=== Suzuki Family Scene ===<br />
There apparently are guests at Sonoko's home. Her mother scolds her for not knocking the door before she entered. The guest, Takanori Sewa seems to have some problems with his New Year Party. He has been receiving threatening letters. Shinichi offers Sewa his assistance, but he declines saying that he has already increased the number of guards. When they stand to leave, Takanori accidentally puts his electronic wheelchair on reverse. Shinichi rushes to help, but Ran pushes him off, saves Takanori and catches the vase which was falling. Takanori initially scolds Ran for trying such a reckless stunt, but realizes his mistake and praises her.<br />
<br />
Sonoko and her parents want Ran to use a special suit they made for her for the coming Karate Competition, but there are regulations for the dongi they wear in competitions. She still accepts it saying that she'll use it for her practice, if they don't mind. They are still happy. Sonoko seems all excited, since she had carved "Love Shinichi" on the back collar of the dongi.<br />
<br />
In the end, Ran's new phone wasn't bought. Before parting ways with Shinichi, she remembers she forgot her wallet at his home. She finds it and goes to bid goodbye to Shinichi, who is reading at his home library. Ran thinks Shinichi's first crush was his actress mom, but he denies it. Ran questions then who was it? Shinichi stares for a while at Ran and tries to say that it was she, but Agasa interrupts this moment with a mobile rocket experiment gone wrong. Ran provides first-aid to Agasa. Shinichi thinks his experiments are way dangerous for a device carrying out transportation. Agasa brags that he put safety first in building his mobile rocket and starts it again. His rocket flies him away screaming.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Vodka expresses his suspicions regarding the man who wants to hold their important transaction in an open ground. Gin seems to despise Bourbon.<br />
<br />
=== Karate Tournament Scene ===<br />
Ran is doing well in the competition, going further step-by-step. Sonoko cheers her while Kogoro and Eri argue on which one's characters their daughter inherited. In her fight with Hina Wada, she faces tough competition and on the brim of losing. At such a vital time, Shinichi gets a call from the Inspector regarding a case and he has to leave urgently. He apologizes to Ran for leaving. But she is in a burning rage, surrounded by dark aura. Hina Wada and even the referee is scared at her look. She is definitely going to win the tournament.<br />

=== Case 1: Crime at the Private Mansion ===<br />
==== Situation ====<br />
Takanori Sewa's New Year Party has been interrupted by a murder: one of the guests, President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank, was found dead with a knife that pierced through his heart. The police, led by Inspector Megure, have been investigating the crime scene, but have no conclusive evidence as to who the killer is. Shinichi makes his grand entrance and claims he has figured out the case.<br />

{{EndBox}}<br />
<br />
==== Resolution ====<br />
<spoiler><br />
==== Evidence ====<br />
* Shinichi states that the room Yamazaki was killed in was locked from the inside. The only possible entrance into the room was the window.<br />
* The mansion owner claims that there is at least a 10 meter gap between the two windows that Shinichi states the killer used. Shinichi points out, however, that if the killer used the roof to get closer to the other window, this gap is shortened to a mere 2 meters. Therefore, it could easily be jumped across.<br />
* Shinichi notes that there is an indentation on the balcony where the killer attached a rope with a piece of wood at the end, allowing the killer a way to get back across to the 3rd floor window, as it is impossible for the killer to have successfully landed on the 10 centimeter roof ledge coming back. By using a piece of wood rather than simply tying the rope to the balcony, the killer was able to remove evidence of his method of escape while on the other side of the building.<br />
* The lack of footprints below the window implies that it was an inside job.<br />
* Shinichi claims to have spoken with the killer's doctor.<br />
<br />
==== Conclusion ====<br />
Shinichi concludes that the murderer could only have been someone who knew the mansion very well and eventually points his finger at the '''landlord'''. The latter, being in a wheelchair, then starts to laugh, claiming that he's in no position to be able to commit such a crime. Shinichi then grabs a globe and throws it towards the owner who immediately jumps out of his chair to avoid it. The maid and guests are all in shock. Shinichi then says that he's been healed for a while now as reported by his doctor, which Megure confirms.<br />
<br />
==== Motive ====<br />
Although the episode does not clearly state the mansion owner's motive, it likely had something to do with the "under-the-table" financial dealings that the owner had with Yamazaki.<br />

==== Resolution ====<br />
<spoiler><br />
The culprit is '''Hitomi'''. She had dated Kishida in the past and was dumped by him. She killed him with a necklace he had purchased for her and tried to shift the blame to Kishida's new girlfriend, Aiko, by leaving a knife in her hand bag. Putting the weaponized "necklace" around his neck as the ride was going through the tunnel is something only a very flexible and agile person could do, and Hitomi was the only one able to do so since she was a skilled gym practitioner; Shinichi had decuded this after the wind lifted her skirt and he saw marks on her upper thighs, coming from her practising her gym routines.<br />

== Manga to Special Changes ==<br />
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br />
* In the manga, the victim of the first case was the mansion owner's wife. In this version, similar to the original episode, a bank president named Yamazaki was killed instead. <br />
* Both Gin and Conan are shown in possession of cell phones in scenes that originally did not contain them. In the original, Shinichi simply witnessed the Black Organization deals and Gin had a camera; in the Special they both use their phones's cameras instead. <br />
* In the manga, Gin uses a metal rod to knock out Shinichi. Whereas in this version he uses his retractable walking stick, which makes more sense since a such a blow to the head would have left him with more than a minor injury.<br />
* In both manga and anime, Gin just places the pill in Shinichi's mouth and then forces him to drink the contents of a bottle to force him consume the poison that would shrink him. In the special, he also sticks his fingers up Shinichi's mouth to make sure the pill will be swallowed. <br />
* Hina Wada, a character created rather recently in the manga, gets a brief scene where she apprehends a thief by herself.<br />
* Characters not yet created at the start of the manga (like [[Wataru Takagi]], [[Kazunobu Chiba]], [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]) get cameos in the special.<br />
* Sewa was in a normal wheelchair in the manga and anime, whereas he uses an electronic one in the special.<br />
<br />
== Anime to Special Changes ==<br />
* In the original episode 1, Yamazaki was shot in the chest. In this version, he is stabbed with a knife.<br />
* Sewa's wife is seen alive and well. Her and Sewa's son shows up too.<br />
* The news castors that are talking about Shinichi as he walks by have been replaced by Rena Mizunashi and a co-host. <br />
* The scenes with the Detective Boys sneaking into the Mystery Coaster and finding the pearl strand were cut. Instead, Shinichi and Ran encounter them playing soccer earlier in the Special and Shinichi even plays soccer with them a little. <br />
* Ran and Shinichi visit Sonoko and her parents in their mansion, right before Sewa kills Yamazaki. Sewa himself is there and briefly freaks out when he realizes Shinichi's identity.<br />
* The karate tournament won by Ran is shown, with Hina Wada as her opponent. Additionally, both Makoto and Sonoko are seen and it's stated that this is when Makoto fell in love at first sight with Sonoko.<br />
* Instead of a shining white light censor, a dark blood fountain is seen during the decapitation scene. There's so much blood that Ran gets all stained with it.<br />
* During the flash forward, the scene where Akemi Miyano is killed is exactly like how it was in the original manga, while the anime altered this scene so that she would live, and later [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|another episode]] had to be made in order to fix the plothole.<br />
* The scene where Shiho sees Shinichi and Ran came from [[Nazo (La PomPon)|Nazo]].<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The subtitle of this episode "The Great Detective Turned Small" (Chīsakunatta Meitantei) is the same title that was used by [[Volume 1|file 002]] of the manga. <!--To keep consistency, I have translated the subtitle of this episode the same way it is listed on the [[Volume 1]] page.--><br />
* During Yusaku and Yukiko's brief appearance, they are in their "Night Baron" and "Fumiyo Edogawa" disguise from [[Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case]].<br />
* During the scene where Eri is talking to Kogoro over the phone, a calico cat is shown lying on her desk. This is Eri's previous cat that is mentioned in [[Volume 51#Cat Sitting Case|file 528]], it had died a month earlier off screen resulting in her taking in [[Goro]] from a friend. Since this Special takes place before that, her first cat is still alive. <br />
* The number Ran bears during the karate tournament is "910", which can also be read as "Kudo" in Japanese.<br />
* On the cover of [[Volume 93#File 984 - Eri Multiplies|Eri Multiplies]] Ran's texts for Shinichi are the exact same structure and content that were on Ran's note in this special: the note she left for him after their date at Tropical Land in, the one where Shiho finds with a picture of Shinichi and Ran.<br />
* The car of the man in the bar is a White Mercedes-Benz s 350 2011 although the logo is modified to avoid product placement.<br />

She is working on a suspicious experiment in the Black Organization Lab. She views some live footage of test subjects (mice) on a computer screen. She then phones her sister [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] and asks her to come over, saying that she will show her something interesting.<br />
<br />

Shinichi explains Ran how detective are like sharks. The opening features snapshots of important manga pages accompanied with the first soundtrack of Detective Conan, "[[Mune ga Dokidoki]]". After Shinichi has solved the case and they are on their way back home, it starts to rain. Ran puts on her hood and the phone that Shinichi put on it accidentally falls.

<spoiler><br />
A man walks into a bar called "Black Widow" and sits next to Vodka and orders the same drink. The make an exchange of money for information. Gin appears and sits on the other side of the man and announces that the Organization was having a rat problem. He also says that the drink they were drinking was called "XYZ", a drink made from Rum and lemon juice, which is mentioned to imply an "end". The man quickly tried to defend himself by saying that he isn't a rat and tries to excuse himself. He gets into his car, but is hesitant to start it for fear that it may explode.

<spoiler><br />
Ran visits Shinichi at his house and they leave to buy the new phone Shinichi promised.<br />
<br />
On their way, they meet Genta, Ayumi and Mitshuiko who are playing soccer. Genta hits the ball hard and it goes off-side. Shinichi and Ran travelling through the same footpath give them their ball back. Ran questions why Shinichi left soccer, since he would have been a Samurai Blue Member by now if he continued. Shinichi explains he wanted to develop the reflexes needed for being a detective and cites Holmes who practised fencing. While Shinichi is expressing his fondness about Holmes, they hear a woman cry for help. A thief has stolen her purse. The thief makes a run but is intimidated by Hina Wada. Sonoko approaches Ran from behind and takes her to her home with Shinichi following them behind.<br />

<br />
=== Suzuki Family Scene ===<br />
There apparently are guests at Sonoko's home. Her mother scolds her for not knocking the door before she entered. The guest, Takanori Sewa seems to have some problems with his New Year Party. He has been receiving threatening letters. Shinichi offers Sewa his assistance, but he declines saying that he has already increased the number of guards. When they stand to leave, Takanori accidentally puts his electronic wheelchair on reverse. Shinichi rushes to help, but Ran pushes him off, saves Takanori and catches the vase which was falling. Takanori initially scolds Ran for trying such a reckless stunt, but realizes his mistake and praises her.<br />
<br />
Sonoko and her parents want Ran to use a special suit they made for her for the coming Karate Competition, but there are regulations for the dongi they wear in competitions. She still accepts it saying that she'll use it for her practice, if they don't mind. They are still happy. Sonoko seems all excited, since she had carved "Love Shinichi" on the back collar of the dongi.<br />
<br />
In the end, Ran's new phone wasn't bought. Before parting ways with Shinichi, she remembers she forgot her wallet at his home. She finds it and goes to bid goodbye to Shinichi, who is reading at his home library. Ran thinks Shinichi's first crush was his actress mom, but he denies it. Ran questions then who was it? Shinichi stares for a while at Ran and tries to say that it was she, but Agasa interrupts this moment with a mobile rocket experiment gone wrong. Ran provides first-aid to Agasa. Shinichi thinks his experiments are way dangerous for a device carrying out transportation. Agasa brags that he put safety first in building his mobile rocket and starts it again. His rocket flies him away screaming.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, Vodka expresses his suspicions regarding the man who wants to hold their important transaction in an open ground. Gin seems to despise Bourbon.<br />
<br />
=== Karate Tournament Scene ===<br />
Ran is doing well in the competition, going further step-by-step. Sonoko cheers her while Kogoro and Eri argue on which one's characters their daughter inherited. In her fight with Hina Wada, she faces tough competition and on the brim of losing. At such a vital time, Shinichi gets a call from the Inspector regarding a case and he has to leave urgently. He apologizes to Ran for leaving. But she is in a burning rage, surrounded by dark aura. Hina Wada and even the referee is scared at her look. She is definitely going to win the tournament.<br />

=== Case 1: Crime at the Private Mansion ===<br />
==== Situation ====<br />
Takanori Sewa's New Year Party has been interrupted by a murder: one of the guests, President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank, was found dead with a knife that pierced through his heart. The police, led by Inspector Megure, have been investigating the crime scene, but have no conclusive evidence as to who the killer is. Shinichi makes his grand entrance and claims he has figured out the case.<br />

{{EndBox}}<br />
<br />
==== Resolution ====<br />
<spoiler><br />
==== Evidence ====<br />
* Shinichi states that the room Yamazaki was killed in was locked from the inside. The only possible entrance into the room was the window.<br />
* The mansion owner claims that there is at least a 10 meter gap between the two windows that Shinichi states the killer used. Shinichi points out, however, that if the killer used the roof to get closer to the other window, this gap is shortened to a mere 2 meters. Therefore, it could easily be jumped across.<br />
* Shinichi notes that there is an indentation on the balcony where the killer attached a rope with a piece of wood at the end, allowing the killer a way to get back across to the 3rd floor window, as it is impossible for the killer to have successfully landed on the 10 centimeter roof ledge coming back. By using a piece of wood rather than simply tying the rope to the balcony, the killer was able to remove evidence of his method of escape while on the other side of the building.<br />
* The lack of footprints below the window implies that it was an inside job.<br />
* Shinichi claims to have spoken with the killer's doctor.<br />
<br />
==== Conclusion ====<br />
Shinichi concludes that the murderer could only have been someone who knew the mansion very well and eventually points his finger at the '''landlord'''. The latter, being in a wheelchair, then starts to laugh, claiming that he's in no position to be able to commit such a crime. Shinichi then grabs a globe and throws it towards the owner who immediately jumps out of his chair to avoid it. The maid and guests are all in shock. Shinichi then says that he's been healed for a while now as reported by his doctor, which Megure confirms.<br />
<br />
==== Motive ====<br />
Although the episode does not clearly state the mansion owner's motive, it likely had something to do with the "under-the-table" financial dealings that the owner had with Yamazaki.<br />

==== Resolution ====<br />
<spoiler><br />
The culprit is '''Hitomi'''. She had dated Kishida in the past and was dumped by him. She killed him with a necklace he had purchased for her and tried to shift the blame to Kishida's new girlfriend, Aiko, by leaving a knife in her hand bag. Putting the weaponized "necklace" around his neck as the ride was going through the tunnel is something only a very flexible and agile person could do, and Hitomi was the only one able to do so since she was a skilled gym practitioner; Shinichi had decuded this after the wind lifted her skirt and he saw marks on her upper thighs, coming from her practising her gym routines.<br />

== Manga to Special Changes ==<br />
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br />
* In the manga, the victim of the first case was the mansion owner's wife. In this version, similar to the original episode, a bank president named Yamazaki was killed instead. <br />
* Both Gin and Conan are shown in possession of cell phones in scenes that originally did not contain them. In the original, Shinichi simply witnessed the Black Organization deals and Gin had a camera; in the Special they both use their phones's cameras instead. <br />
* In the manga, Gin uses a metal rod to knock out Shinichi. Whereas in this version he uses his retractable walking stick, which makes more sense since a such a blow to the head would have left him with more than a minor injury.<br />
* In both manga and anime, Gin just places the pill in Shinichi's mouth and then forces him to drink the contents of a bottle to force him consume the poison that would shrink him. In the special, he also sticks his fingers up Shinichi's mouth to make sure the pill will be swallowed. <br />
* Hina Wada, a character created rather recently in the manga, gets a brief scene where she apprehends a thief by herself.<br />
* Characters not yet created at the start of the manga (like [[Wataru Takagi]], [[Kazunobu Chiba]], [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]) get cameos in the special.<br />
* Sewa was in a normal wheelchair in the manga and anime, whereas he uses an electronic one in the special.<br />
<br />
== Anime to Special Changes ==<br />
* In the original episode 1, Yamazaki was shot in the chest. In this version, he is stabbed with a knife.<br />
* Sewa's wife is seen alive and well. Her and Sewa's son shows up too.<br />
* The news castors that are talking about Shinichi as he walks by have been replaced by Rena Mizunashi and a co-host. <br />
* The scenes with the Detective Boys sneaking into the Mystery Coaster and finding the pearl strand were cut. Instead, Shinichi and Ran encounter them playing soccer earlier in the Special and Shinichi even plays soccer with them a little. <br />
* Ran and Shinichi visit Sonoko and her parents in their mansion, right before Sewa kills Yamazaki. Sewa himself is there and briefly freaks out when he realizes Shinichi's identity.<br />
* The karate tournament won by Ran is shown, with Hina Wada as her opponent. Additionally, both Makoto and Sonoko are seen and it's stated that this is when Makoto fell in love at first sight with Sonoko.<br />
* Instead of a shining white light censor, a dark blood fountain is seen during the decapitation scene. There's so much blood that Ran gets all stained with it.<br />
* During the flash forward, the scene where Akemi Miyano is killed is exactly like how it was in the original manga, while the anime altered this scene so that she would live, and later [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|another episode]] had to be made in order to fix the plothole.<br />
* The scene where Shiho sees Shinichi and Ran came from [[Nazo (La PomPon)|Nazo]].<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The subtitle of this episode "The Great Detective Turned Small" (Chīsakunatta Meitantei) is the same title that was used by [[Volume 1|file 002]] of the manga. <!--To keep consistency, I have translated the subtitle of this episode the same way it is listed on the [[Volume 1]] page.--><br />
* During Yusaku and Yukiko's brief appearance, they are in their "Night Baron" and "Fumiyo Edogawa" disguise from [[Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case]].<br />
* During the scene where Eri is talking to Kogoro over the phone, a calico cat is shown lying on her desk. This is Eri's previous cat that is mentioned in [[Volume 51#Cat Sitting Case|file 528]], it had died a month earlier off screen resulting in her taking in [[Goro]] from a friend. Since this Special takes place before that, her first cat is still alive. <br />
* The number Ran bears during the karate tournament is "910", which can also be read as "Kudo" in Japanese.<br />
* On the cover of [[Volume 93#File 984 - Eri Multiplies|Eri Multiplies]] Ran's texts for Shinichi are the exact same structure and content that were on Ran's note in this special: the note she left for him after their date at Tropical Land in, the one where Shiho finds with a picture of Shinichi and Ran.<br />
* The car of the man in the bar is a White Mercedes-Benz s 350 2011 although the logo is modified to avoid product placement.<br />

[[File:M13-memory card.jpg|thumb|left|His memory card.]]<br />
Masaaki Okakura is a Parliamentary Secretary. He lives in the fourth district 19-7, Wada Ward, East Tokorozawa, Saitama Prefecture.<ref name=notebook>Reported on the culprit's notebook.</ref><ref>''The Raven Chaser'' novelized book, page 7.</ref><br />
<br />
He is a NOC, a minor [[Black Organization]] agent that have infiltrated various organizations. He obtained a memory card listing all organization NOCs, possibly as insurance as speculated by [[Vermouth]]. The organization planned then to execute him.<br />
<br />
However, he was stabbed first by Kazuki Honjou, a Chiba accountant, for a personal revenge. The Tanabata night two years ago, in a Kyoto huge fire accident, the Hotel Vega elevator could only hold seven, but eight guests on the sixth floor needed to escape, and Masaaki was one of these. Nanako Honjou, his murderer's younger sister, voluntarily stepped out the elevator and died due smoke inhalation.<br />
<br />
In order to frame Kosuke Mizutani, his sister's boyfriend, the unaware serial killer taken away his [[Wikipedia: Amulet#China and Japan|charm bag]] with the memory card that often took with him. The [[The Boss|boss]] orders [[Irish]] to retrieve it before the police catch the culprit and look into the database. [[Gin]] has [[Chianti]] kill Irish and destroy the memory card, for [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] as a single card to destroy the organization, with a single shot.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Unlike most Black Organization members, Masaaki doesn't seem to be a very cruel person. Last year, to express Nanako his gratitude for her sacrifice, he sends anonymously flowers to her parents and older brother on the Chiba memorial service day, as the other six guests.<br />
