At night, inside the building, [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi]] quotes from his newest collaborator that the reason Kid often strikes when the skies are clear is because of his outfit being susceptible to humidity, which leads him to have Kichida Manufacturing build this new exhibition room. He then shows both [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Ginzo Nakamori|Nakamori]] the security installed outside the room:
 +
 +
* The wall facing toward the camera has its three horizontal color lines changed randomly, but their color patterns are always synchronized with one from the security room monitor frame.
 +
* The corridor before entering the exhibition room has some very powerful humidifiers installed on.
 +
 +
Then, the exhibition room is going to have its final check before Jirokichi’s next encounter with Kid. However, just as when they finish their testing, the power is suddenly cut. Conan notices an abnormality in the camera footage, and rushes to the exhibition room. This scares off Satsuki Kichida as she is looking for a police to help address the strange message from her husband, who is also the president of Kichida Manufacturing, Yotaro. Strangely enough, Yotaro’s secretary Kyuuya Kamiji also receives a strange message from him, both say: “I will protect the jewel with my life”.
 +
 +
However, when Conan enters the room, he sees the terrified Kaitou Kid looking at Yotaro’s body with a gunshot wound on his head.

At that moment, [[Saguru Hakuba]] orders the exhibition room to close to make sure no one leaves when he, Nakamori, and Jirokichi march toward the room with several Riot Police officers. Kid is still panicked about the murder scene, and asks Conan to prove his innocence. Conan agrees under one condition: Kaitou Kid will have to disguise as Shinichi and act following what Conan said to, which includes not letting Ran figure out that he was the fake one.
 +
 +
After Hakuba's group arrives and are shocked to see Shinichi Kudo instead of Kaito Kid, all of the high school detectives find three suspicious details:
 +
 +
# The bloodstain and a bullet hole left on the right of the entrance (based on Hakuba’s point of view).
 +
# There is something stuck to both sides of the body’s toe.
 +
# The blood splatter on the curtains to the right of the body.

In the interrogation process:
 +
* Masuo Kase, technical director of Kichida Manufacturing, recalls that Yotaro told him he needed time to check something in the room after they finished the testing. Kase also notes others about the rumor that Yotaro and his wife were fighting.
 +
* Kamiji was a firefighter 10 years ago, but quit after breaking a bone from falling off a ladder. The reason he became Yotaro’s secretary is because he was the one to explain about fire prevention equipment during Yotaro’s visit to the fire department.
 +
* Satsuki was sitting on her husband’s chair waiting for his return when she received that strange message from him. When Nakamori informs her about the rumor given by Kase, she clarifies that the one who often argues with her husband is actually Kase.
 +
 +
[[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] and [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] finally make it to the scene due to heavy traffic. But not long after they arrive, they will have to go back to the police station with the culprit because both Conan and Hakuba figure out the truth after hearing the forensic report.

==== Kaitou Kid’s original plan ====
 +
If the crime of murder had not been carried out, then Kaitou Kid’s heist would have been carried out in this specific order:
 +
 +
* Firstly, he had hidden in a fake fire hydrant installed in the corridor that blends in with the contractors.
 +
* Next, had the people from Kichida finished their testing would he appear and install a Lubor’s lens in front of the camera, deceiving everyone supervising the room via the camera that everything is normal.
 +
This is when we assume if no murder occurred:
 +
* Kid would have taken advantage from the time everyone was deceived to steal the Azure Throne, and blended in with the riot officers who charged in and fled from the exhibition room.
 +
 
 +
==== How the murder was carried out ====
 +
Hakuba predicted Kid’s movement, and so does the culprit. The culprit thought that if Kid was not seen entering the camera, then no one would find it odd if president Kichida was not seen returning to the exhibition room, implying that the president was killed before Kid entered the room. Kase recounts that Yotaro has exited the room after he finished his own checking. Hakuba defies this conclusion by explaining how has the culprit killed the president while got out of the room as the president:
 +
 
 +
Once the check was completed and Yotaro almost left the room, the culprit probably told him that something was wrong with the lower right wall, and took the chance to send him to heaven.
 +
Since everyone was wearing protective gear, Kase mistook the culprit with Yotaro, and let the president inside the room alone, creating an opportunity for them to set up the crime scene that we saw at part 1.
 +
 
 +
Shinichi joins in when Kajimi says that the culprit could not be identified based on the footage. He points out that Yotaro’s kind of arm crossing is different from the kind of arm crossing that we saw from his impostor, '''Kyuuya Kajimi'''. Shinichi adds in: Kajimi stole Yotaro’s phone and took advantage of the power cut to run away from other staff, leave the phone in the hallway after sending the fake messages, remove the disguise, and run to the security room as if he had just received the message from the victim.
 +
 
 +
Both Hakuba and Shinichi will perform the fireman’s carry, method used by Kajimi to carry the body:
 +
 
 +
# While they are lying on their back, lift their knees.
 +
# Step on their toes to hold their feet in place.
 +
# Grab both hands and pull them toward you, then duck under.
 +
 +
This explains why there was blood on the curtain and the floor near the throne, which means that the blood also fell onto Kajimi’s shoe.
 +
 
 +
==== Aftermath ====
 +
Hakuba knew that Shinichi was actually Kid, and intended to use the fireman's carry to bring Kid to the police station, but failed because Kid had already handcuffed both Hakuba's legs. Ran has also known about this because Kid mentioned one wrong detail from [[The Scarlet School Trip|the time she answered Shinichi's confession]]. After the thief leaves and she is left angered as Kid could say those words under the disguise of Shinichi, Hakuba explains that those words were of Shinichi, making Conan afraid that his secret identity is revealed. However, Hakuba simply tells that Conan called Shinichi to help solve the murder after being asked by the panicked Kid to prove his innocence.

This scares off Satsuki Kichida as she is looking for a police to help address the strange message from her husband, who is also the president of Kichida Manufacturing, Yotaro. Strangely enough, Yotaro’s secretary Kyuuya Kamiji also receives a strange message from him, both say: “I will protect the jewel with my life”.

However, when Conan enters the room, he sees the terrified Kaitou Kid looking at Yotaro’s body with a gunshot wound on his head.

Murder
EP1193-1194 Case1.jpg
Location: Tokyo Bell Tree Tower
Victim: Yotaro Kichida
Age: 45 years old
Cause of death: Gunshot wound to the forehead
Suspects: Masuo Kase, Satsuki Kichida, Kyuuya Kamiji

At that moment, Saguru Hakuba orders the exhibition room to close to make sure no one leaves when he, Nakamori, and Jirokichi march toward the room with several Riot Police officers. Kid is still panicked about the murder scene, and asks Conan to prove his innocence. Conan agrees under one condition: Kaitou Kid will have to disguise as Shinichi and act following what Conan said to, which includes not letting Ran figure out that he was the fake one.

After Hakuba's group arrives and are shocked to see Shinichi Kudo instead of Kaito Kid, all of the high school detectives find three suspicious details:

  1. The bloodstain and a bullet hole left on the right of the entrance (based on Hakuba’s point of view).
  2. There is something stuck to both sides of the body’s toe.
  3. The blood splatter on the curtains to the right of the body.

Part 2

In the interrogation process:

  • Masuo Kase, technical director of Kichida Manufacturing, recalls that Yotaro told him he needed time to check something in the room after they finished the testing. Kase also notes others about the rumor that Yotaro and his wife were fighting.
  • Kamiji was a firefighter 10 years ago, but quit after breaking a bone from falling off a ladder. The reason he became Yotaro’s secretary is because he was the one to explain about fire prevention equipment during Yotaro’s visit to the fire department.
  • Satsuki was sitting on her husband’s chair waiting for his return when she received that strange message from him. When Nakamori informs her about the rumor given by Kase, she clarifies that the one who often argues with her husband is actually Kase.

Takagi and Megure finally make it to the scene due to heavy traffic. But not long after they arrive, they will have to go back to the police station with the culprit because both Conan and Hakuba figure out the truth after hearing the forensic report.

    Trivia

    • Because of that, this case, which supposed to be aired as Episode 1192-1193, is delayed. The episode number was confirmed via an image of Movie 29 guest voice actors who were watching the recording session of this case.[1]
    • This case was promoted in conjunction with Episode "ZERO" The Shinichi Kudo Aquarium Case (via their posters).
    • The suspects' names are related to "planets"[2]:
      • Yotaro Kichida (吉田 陽太郎) comes from "sun" (太陽 taiyō?) ;
      • Masuo Kase (加勢 増男) comes from "mars" (火星 / マーズ kasei / māzu?) ;
      • Satsuki Kichida (吉田 さつき) comes from "moon" (月 tsuki?) ;
      • Kyuya Kamiji (上地 九哉) comes from "earth" (地球 chikyū?).
    • Riot policeman Funamoto (舟本) comes from real-life Shonen Sunday editor Riaru Funamoto (舟本 りある)[2].
    • While the characters "吉田" that make up Yotaro and Satsuki Kichida's last name are common, they are usually read Yoshida, which is the 11th most common surname in Japan, found notably in Ayumi Yoshida. Other readings include Yoshita and Kitta, and the "Kichida" reading is very rare.
