	Seconds later, Ran hears voice murmuring the opposite, saying that throwing fastballs is risky. The groups turns to find sergeant [[Wataru Takagi\|Takagi]] pacing down the aisle in deep thought. Takagi explains that he and [[Miwako Sato\|Sato]] are on a mission to escort an apprehended drug dealer, named Senzo Ogura, back to Tokyo. They expect his interrogation will yield the necessary information to bring down his criminal syndicate. As she explains this to Conan and company, Sato looks at Ogura expectantly, but Ogura remains emotionless and tells her dully that he wants coffee. Sato thus sends Takagi to buy coffee. While the sergeant checks his pocket for coins, he drops his ticket to [[Kazumi Sanada]]'s magic show. Sato is surprised that Takagi likes such things, and the latter explains that [[Yumi Miyamoto\|Yumi]], who had a spare ticket, had asked him to go with her. Sato expresses casual happiness for him, which disappoints Takagi. In truth, his planned "date" with Yumi was a lie. Yumi had formed a plan for Takagi to gauge Sato's feelings by observing her reaction to their date. She had told him that, with Sato, one must first test her with breaking pitches, not fastballs. <br>[[File:CH296_OguraDead.png\|thumb\|right\|200px\|Ogura escapes into the afterlife.]]		Seconds later, Ran hears a voice murmuring the opposite, saying that throwing fastballs is risky.

	As train enters a tunnel, Takagi takes one of the handcuffs off Ogura and connects it to himself so that Ogura is able to use the bathroom. Several minutes after Ogura’s entry, Takagi impatiently asks whether he is done. Ogura grins and tells him that the police will be unable to obtain any information from him, for he will soon turn into a speechless bird. Concerned Takagi, throws the door open, and is astounded by the sight of Ogura having stabbed himself in the stomach. Takagi tries to call with Sato by phone, but fails to get a signal due to the tunnel. He has thus no choice but to transfer the handcuffs from himself to the railing, and leave Ogura on the toilet while he runs to get Sato. Conan, who is by Sato's side, overhears Takagi’s words and rushes to the toilet with the two police officers.

	Inspector [[Megure]] and [[Takagi]] arrive and gathers information about the circumstances leading to Motoo's death. Sonoko recounts how there was no apron sticking out from the locker when the students cleaned Mino's broken plate, meaning his body must have entered the locker sometime after the shattering. Though Megure suggests that Mino could have altered the crime scene after the plate shards were cleaned, Ran and Conan confirm his alibi during that timeframe. Mino wonders if Kasama had noticed anything unusual as he had sent her to the locker room to retrieve the first-aid kit after he cut himself on the pottery wheel. Kasama nervously states that she opened the locker Motoo's corpse was discovered in to retrieve the kit, but asserts there was no body at the time. She also denies Mino's claim that the necktie used to strangle Motoo was her gift, stating that he discovered the present, along with a birthday card, in his bag. Motoo had believed she was being coy about her gift, so thus gave little attention to her denying the present was her doing. Mino then recalls Motoo murmuring that "money turns people into demons," and that he will "soon be eaten by demons." He then whispers something into the officers' ears, who immediately rush to confirm his insights. A forensic officer then asks Kasama for a pen, having run out of ink.

	Mino ostensibly searches for a pen, but instead pulls out a pair of scissors. Suddenly, Conan appears and corrects him about his selection of stationery. He then calls him to his pottery wheel to show off his creation, saying that unlike Motoo, he does not like to leave things unfinished. Mino asks what he means; Conan says that Motoo had not finished curling his sleeves, implying he was murdered while preparing for his shift. Panicking, Mino surmises his sleeves were pulled during a scuffle with the culprit, leading Conan to speculate that the scuffle was also the reason why his necktie pin was pulled so low down the blade. The boy also says Mino must like symmetry, citing how he stepped around Motoo to crouch beside the body's right-side, likely to adjust the sleeves to match each other's length. Additionally, despite the apron only showing under the right door, Mino opened both doors simultaneously. Before Mino can counter, Conan happily announces that his work is done. After inspecting the mold, in a form of ceramic-fortune-telling, Mino says that Conan is conflicted and is hiding something profound. Before the man can leave, Conan reveals that the mold belongs to Mino, having transferred the mold to a different wheel while he searched for the pen. Mino turns back in shock, as Conan questions the implications of Mino's fortune-telling now that it applies to himself. The forensics officers then arrive in the room, giving Mino a reprieve from his relentless young student. <br>		Mino ostensibly searches for a pen, but instead pulls out a pair of scissors.

	Conan ~~knows~~ who the culprit is, to the ~~point~~ of ~~confronting~~ the culprit ~~when they're all alone~~, ~~but still has no~~ evidence. He ~~tries to find evidence to prove it was him~~.		As panic ensues, Ran scrambles to call the ambulance, but also the police at Conan's behest. The boy intently observes the necktie wrapped around Motoo's neck, specifically the pearl-shaped pin on the blade.<br>
			Inspector [[Megure]] and [[Takagi]] arrive and gathers information about the circumstances leading to Motoo's death. Sonoko recounts how there was no apron sticking out from the locker when the students cleaned Mino's broken plate, meaning his body must have entered the locker sometime after the shattering. Though Megure suggests that Mino could have altered the crime scene after the plate shards were cleaned, Ran and Conan confirm his alibi during that timeframe. Mino wonders if Kasama had noticed anything unusual as he had sent her to the locker room to retrieve the first-aid kit after he cut himself on the pottery wheel. Kasama nervously states that she opened the locker Motoo's corpse was discovered in to retrieve the kit, but asserts there was no body at the time. She also denies Mino's claim that the necktie used to strangle Motoo was her gift, stating that he discovered the present, along with a birthday card, in his bag. Motoo had believed she was being coy about her gift, so thus gave little attention to her denying the present was her doing. Mino then recalls Motoo murmuring that "money turns people into demons," and that he will "soon be eaten by demons." He then whispers something into the officers' ears, who immediately rush to confirm his insights. A forensic officer then asks Kasama for a pen, having run out of ink. Mino instructs his assistant to stay put, and supplies the officers in her stead.<br>[[File:CH306_Mino'sFortune.png\|thumb\|right\|215px\|Mino had unknowingly read his own concerning fortune.]]
			Mino ostensibly searches for a pen, but instead pulls out a pair of scissors. Suddenly, Conan appears and corrects him about his selection of stationery. He then calls him to his pottery wheel to show off his creation, saying that unlike Motoo, he does not like to leave things unfinished. Mino asks what he means; Conan says that Motoo had not finished curling his sleeves, implying he was murdered while preparing for his shift. Panicking, Mino surmises his sleeves were pulled during a scuffle with the culprit, leading Conan to speculate that the scuffle was also the reason why his necktie pin was pulled so low down the blade. The boy also says Mino must like symmetry, citing how he stepped around Motoo to crouch beside the body's right-side, likely to adjust the sleeves to match each other's length. Additionally, despite the apron only showing under the right door, Mino opened both doors simultaneously. Before Mino can counter, Conan happily announces that his work is done. After inspecting the mold, in a form of ceramic-fortune-telling, Mino says that Conan is conflicted and is hiding something profound. Before the man can leave, Conan reveals that the mold belongs to Mino, having transferred the mold to a different wheel while he searched for the pen. Mino turns back in shock, as Conan questions the implications of Mino's fortune-telling now that it applies to himself. The forensics officers then arrive in the room, giving Mino a reprieve from his relentless young student. <br>
			As the adults leave, Conan walks down a hallway, confident that Mino is the culprit. Still, he lacks solid evidence. He happens upon the forensics desk and picks up the murder weapon: Motoo's necktie. He then notices something about the pin and everything becomes clear.

In his old age, Renya Karasuma had discovered a clue in the Sunset Mansion that he inherited from his mother.

He wrote that many other academics were called in alongside him to search for the treasure.

The girl pulls the cards apart and finds that coagulated blood had acted as the adhesive, causing her to scream in horror. The maid then enters the room and escorts the group to the dining room.<br>
	Upon arrival, they notice the host ominously sitting at the end of the table with a white hood over his head. The host states that he has summoned the detectives to the mansion to find the secret treasure hidden within. Suddenly, the group hears explosions from outside and realize that their cars have been destroyed. The host adds that he also destroyed the ravine bridge and shut off all means of communication with the outside world—thus the detectives are trapped. The game is simple: the detective who finds the hidden treasure first will be the sole recipient of both half of the total fortune and the information on how to escape. Mogi rises from his chair and angrily unmasks the host, only to find a speaker attached to a mannequin—merely an inanimate surrogate for the host's presence. Kogoro demands to know who could be behind this game, only to be ridiculed by his fellow detectives. They first reference the host's title: "Illusionary Child abandoned by God (神が見捨てし仔の幻影)." The word "Illusionary (幻影)" refers to an incorporeal subject like a "phantom." The specific kanji chosen for the word "child (仔)" is only used to refer to animal offspring. "Child abandoned by God (神が見捨てし仔)" represents the one creation unblessed by God in the [[Wikipedia: Bible\|Bible]], the goat. The offspring of a goat is called a "kid." Therefore, the "Illusionary Child abandoned by God" refers to Kid the Phantom Thief, also known as [[Kaitou Kid]].

They expect his interrogation will yield the necessary information to bring down his criminal syndicate.

	As train enters a tunnel, Takagi takes one of the handcuffs off Ogura and connects it to himself so that Ogura is able to use the bathroom. Several minutes after Ogura’s entry, Takagi impatiently asks whether he is done.

Concerned Takagi, throws the door open, and is astounded by the sight of Ogura having stabbed himself in the stomach. Takagi tries to call with Sato by phone, but fails to get a signal due to the tunnel. He has thus no choice but to transfer the handcuffs from himself to the railing, and leave Ogura on the toilet while he runs to get Sato.

His inspection is rebuked by the car's owner, Harufumi Mogi, who is a freelance detective and an associate of Senma.

	Upon arrival, they notice the host ominously sitting at the end of the table with a white hood over his head. The host states that he has summoned the detectives to the mansion to find the secret treasure hidden within. Suddenly, the group hears explosions from outside and realize that their cars have been destroyed. The host adds that he also destroyed the ravine bridge and shut off all means of communication with the outside world—thus the detectives are trapped. The game is simple: the detective who finds the hidden treasure first will be the sole recipient of both half of the total fortune and the information on how to escape. Mogi rises from his chair and angrily unmasks the host, only to find a speaker attached to a mannequin—merely an inanimate surrogate for the host's presence. Kogoro demands to know who could be behind this game, only to be ridiculed by his fellow detectives. They first reference the host's title: "Illusionary Child abandoned by God (神が見捨てし仔の幻影)." The word "Illusionary (幻影)" refers to an incorporeal subject like a "phantom." The specific kanji chosen for the word "child (仔)" is only used to refer to animal offspring. "Child abandoned by God (神が見捨てし仔)" represents the one creation unblessed by God in the [[Wikipedia: Bible\|Bible]], the goat. The offspring of a goat is called a "kid." Therefore, the "Illusionary Child abandoned by God" refers to Kid the Phantom Thief, also known as [[Kaitou Kid]].
