	Having forgotten to pack a tent for the camping trip, Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa\|Agasa]] and the [[Detective Boys]] drive through the wilderness in hopes of finding a place to spend the day.

	While the group marvel at the castle's design, [[Genta Kojima\|Genta]] brashly scales the front gate and trespasses on the property. He is instantly caught by the estate's gardener, Katsuo Tabata, who scolds the boy for entering.

	The Detective Boys happily explore the sprawling yard, where Ayumi specifically takes a liking to a large statue of a horse. [[Ai Haibara\|Haibara]] explains the statue is a [[Wikipedia: Knight (chess)\|Knight]] and part of a larger installation of over-sized chess pieces atop a grassy board. Tabata says he maintains the chess board at the lingering behest of the late patriarch, who died fifteen years ago. Additionally, the eldest daughter's husband, Sada'aki had also died six years prior. Lastly, the second eldest daughter, whom Mitsuru widowed, had died four years ago in a large fire that enveloped the now burnt tower. Tabata adds that the fire occurred the night the second daughter returned to visit the matriarch for her birthday and that the incident also killed dozens of friends, workers, and family members. Only the matriarch, Mitsuru, and Sada'aki's only son, Takahito managed to survive the flames. Tabata notes that both Mitsuru and Takahito had spent most of their lives abroad, only visiting the castle for the first time on the night of the fire. Though ever since the incident, the two have continued to live at the castle. <br>		The Detective Boys happily explore the sprawling yard, where Ayumi specifically takes a liking to a large statue of a horse.

However, when she realized she had mistakenly purchased two chlorine-based detergents, she panicked and resorted to slicing her wrist to commit suicide.

Kogoro claims the blood on the door belongs to Mina, and that the blood was placed there by Masayo's brand new Yoko Okino bandana. Masayo is shocked as she understands the implications of the Detective's claims. Megure questions how Kogoro could be sure that the blood originates from Masayo's bandana. At an end, Masayo confesses that the first "o" in the "Yoko" bandana should include a macron and read "Yōko." Instead, Mina's blood had splattered over the macron and hid it from sight. Kogoro explains he noticed the discrepancy after seeing Masayo's matching key holder which has a logo that retains the macron. <br>
			'''The Motive:'''<br>
			Masayo says that her sister always had the same interests and hobbies as her. Although she initially did not mind their likemindedness, she drew the line when Mina proposed to Kenji, whom Masayo had dated for five years. <br>
			Kenji steps forward and reveals that it was him who proposed to Mina, having been rejected several times. Eventually, Mina accepted under the condition that they change the story to paint her as the one who proposed. She did so to protect Masayo's pride from learning that her lover had instead fallen for her younger sister. Kogoro corroborates Kenji's claim, stating that Mina had always cared for her older sister. She had noticed that Masayo had ordered a chlorine-based detergent and an acid detergent and purposefully swapped out the second bottle at the register in hopes to prevent Masayo from accidentally creating a deadly gas. After learning the truth, Masayo's heart is filled with regret as she rushes back to her sister's body in tears.
	</spoiler>		</spoiler>
			Deafening cries for an encore echo from a packed venue as the performer, Yoko Okino sees Kogoro approach her with flowers. She thanks the Detective for following-through with his promise and plants a kiss on his cheek. Kogoro voices his mumbled elation as it is revealed the experience exists only in his dreams. Conan and Ran watch over him, amused by his imagination.

	Inspector [[Juzo Megure\|Megure]] arrives at the crime scene, noticing the sealed points of ventilation. Kogoro theorizes that Mina attempted to mix a [[Wikipedia: Chlorine\|chlorine]]-based detergent with an acidic detergent to create a deadly chlorine gas. However, when she realized she had mistakenly purchased two chlorine-based detergents, she panicked and resorted to slicing her wrist to commit suicide. Conan points out the zigzag pattern in which Mina cut her skin, which Kogoro and Megure realize is exceptionally strange considering almost all individuals who attempt suicide in such a manner cut perpendicular to the artery with parallel lines. When Kogoro attempts to brush the oddity off, Conan also highlights the clean demarkation between the clean tub rim and the dripping blood stains. However, just as Kogoro admits a second individual may have been present who forcefully cut Mina's hand, Masayo points to the duct tape. She suggests that perhaps the duct tape roll was placed on the rim of the tub, catching the blood splatters from striking the ceramic. As Kogoro congratulates her for the excellent observation, a forensics analyst informs Megure that only Mina's fingerprints appear on the tape, suggesting that Mina had sealed the room herself. With both Kogoro and the police arriving at the same conclusion, Masayo obliges Kogoro's request for a spare ticket and heads for the living room.<br>		Inspector [[Juzo Megure\|Megure]] arrives at the crime scene, noticing the sealed points of ventilation.

However, when Kogoro mentions he is the famous Sleeping Kogoro, Masayo's face turns blue. Conan takes note of her strange reaction.<br>
	Once at ~~their~~ house, Masayo tells her guests to relax in her living room, which the trio soon finds is covered in posters of various idols such as Yoko Okino, [[The Santa Claus of Summer\|Asuka Anzai]], [[TWO-MIX]], and [[Terumi Hoshino]]. As they assess her progress in moving out, the three suddenly hear loud banging noises coming from the bathroom. They rush to find Masayo frantically calling for Mina through an opaque plastic door with the words "Goodbye (サヨナラ)" written on it with duct tape. Masayo says the door ~~has no~~ lock ~~but~~ is somehow sealed shut. With no other choice, the group work together to batter the door open. Once through, they discover a bloodied Mina slouched on the bathtub with a razor in her right hand. Kogoro lifts her left hand out of the water to see several slash marks on her wrist. Kogoro confirms Mina's death and calls for the police. Seeing how both the door and the windows were sealed with duct tape and the detergent on the floor, Conan initially agrees with Kogoro's assessment of calling it suicide. However, he soon changes his mind after closely inspecting the bathtub.

Suddenly, the door slams into Takagi as Mina's fiancé, Kenji, arrives.<br>
	Masayo asks why Kenji is here, to which Takagi explains the police had found a voicemail left by the man around the time of Mina's death and had instructed him to come. Kenji laments the death of his fiancé, stating that he should have intruded into the home if it meant saving her life. Conan asks for clarification. Kenji says he knocked on the door several times last night, but left after receiving no response, having thought Mina had gone to bed. When Takagi asks why he would check on the house after receiving no response via phone call, Kenji explains that Mina has a habit of not answering the phone, and that being sent to voicemail is no sign that she is not home. Hearing the man's words, Conan smiles, having all of the necessary tools to declare Masayo the culprit.

			[[File:CH200_Castle.png\|thumb\|left\|220px\|The Detective Boys find a large Western castle.]]
	Having forgotten to pack a tent for the camping trip, Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa\|Agasa]] and the [[Detective Boys]] drive through the wilderness in hopes of finding a place to spend the day. As [[Ayumi Yoshida\|Ayumi]] expresses her far-fetched desire to stay at a beautiful castle overlooking a lake, her wish is miraculously granted in the form of a large Western-style castle. <br>		Having forgotten to pack a tent for the camping trip, Professor [[Hiroshi Agasa\|Agasa]] and the [[Detective Boys]] drive through the wilderness in hopes of finding a place to spend the day. As [[Ayumi Yoshida\|Ayumi]] expresses her far-fetched desire to stay at a beautiful castle overlooking a lake, her wish is miraculously granted in the form of a large Western-style castle. <br>
	While the group marvel at the castle's design, [[Genta Kojima\|Genta]] brashly scales the front gate and trespasses on the property. He is instantly caught by the estate's gardener, Katsuo Tabata, who scolds the boy for entering. Despite Tabata insisting they leave the premises, Mitsuru Mamiya, a member of the owning family allows them to stay after hearing Agasa is a scientist. <br>		While the group marvel at the castle's design, [[Genta Kojima\|Genta]] brashly scales the front gate and trespasses on the property.

	The Detective Boys happily explore the sprawling yard, where Ayumi specifically takes a liking to a large statue of a horse. [[Ai Haibara\|Haibara]] explains the statue is a [[Wikipedia: Knight (chess)\|Knight]] and part of a larger installation of over-sized chess pieces atop a grassy board. Tabata says he maintains the chess board at the lingering behest of the late patriarch, who died fifteen years ago. Additionally, the eldest daughter's husband, Sada'aki had also died six years prior. Lastly, the second eldest daughter, whom Mitsuru widowed, had died four years ago in a large fire that enveloped the now burnt tower. Tabata adds that the fire occurred the night the second daughter returned to visit the matriarch for her birthday and that the incident also killed dozens of friends, workers, and family members. Only the matriarch, Mitsuru, and Sada'aki's only son, Takahito managed to survive the flames. Tabata notes that both Mitsuru and Takahito had spent most of their lives abroad, only visiting the castle for the first time on the night of the fire. Though ever since the incident, the two have continued to live at the castle. <br>		The Detective Boys happily explore the sprawling yard, where Ayumi specifically takes a liking to a large statue of a horse.

	As Tabata leads the group into the main hall, he shows them large portraits of the patriarch, Sada'aki, and the eldest daughter—who regularly expressed her aversion for her father's work as a historian. The group is then joined by the matriarch, Mamiya Masuyo. Hearing that Agasa is a scientist, she voices her hope that he will solve the mystery left within the castle by her husband. Tabata clarifies that the patriarch stated shortly before his death that he will give his greatest treasure to whom ever solves the castle's mystery. [[Conan Edogawa\|Conan]] then asks if he can see the garden chess board from a bird's-eye-view. <br>		As Tabata leads the group into the main hall, he shows them large portraits of the patriarch, Sada'aki, and the eldest daughter—who regularly expressed her aversion for her father's work as a historian.

	The Detective Boys peer out two sets of windows to see the pieces below. Conan takes out a notepad and begins documenting his findings, which Haibara teases him about. The two are interrupted by Genta, who is about to fall out of the window in the room next door. Conan rushes to find that [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya\|Mitsuhiko]] had successfully saved him, but notices that the windows in both rooms are placed against the same wall. He questions the large space between the two windows and suspects a hidden passage between the walls. He looks up at a clock on the wall and plays with the hands. After aligning the hands to twelve, the wall suddenly rotates and captures Conan instantly, leaving Genta and Mitsuhiko oblivious to what has happened.<br>		The Detective Boys peer out two sets of windows to see the pieces below.
