Crimson School Trip Case

File 1004 - The Light Crimson Answer

The police ask the three remaining suspects to stay in their rooms, guarded by police agents. Keiko, Agata, and Mayama think about Dekuri's dream of seeing his name in the movie's credits, and his tears when he realised it wasn't the case. They suddenly all receive a text message, and Mayama leaves his room, supposedly to go to the washroom near the reception desk, since his room's out of service. Mayama actually escapes the hotel and goes to Kiyomizu. He expects to meet Agata there and phones him, but Agata says he's not the one who sent that letter saying, "I'm the murderer, I want to surrender, let's meet one last time at Kiyomizu." Agata says the sender's mail address is Dekuri's, and Mayama gets panic-stricken as he sees blood-red footprints walking in his direction, and Dekuri's voice tells him he's indeed the one who sent the mail; he came back from the dead to accomplish his revenge.

Mayama clings to the railing in fear, and suddenly the serial killer shows up and pushes him over the balustrade. Mayama lands on an air mattress the police laid out. Shinichi, Heiji, and Masumi tell the killer his plan failed, and reveal him to be Riki Agata. The three teenagers say they solved the code : Dekuri's symbol was actually to be considered as a compass, and according to it, and to the code's kanji characters' position, and to the fact that these characters were extracted from some of Kyoto's streets' and districts' names corresponding to the position, the code can be understood as a succession of kanji characters who correspond to the first or second syllables of the streets' or districts' names they originate from, for instance "kon" for "kontaka", etc., from left to right. The first lines of each code then read "koro sunoha", which means "I'm about to kill". Heiji says the reversed "saki" kanji means its corresponding character, "pon", is to be reversed to "npo", then "n". The first code accordingly means "I'm going to kill three people, the first one being the screenwriter". The second reads "I'm going to kill two more people, the next one being the leading role". And the third is "I'm going to kill one more person, then I'll jump off the balcony". In fact, Agata wanted to kill Mayama and pretend he was the murderer, and committed suicide after he failed to kill Agata.

Agata had beforehand booked all of the hotel's smoking rooms and checked one out for Nishiki just as the latter was phoning the hotel. In this room, Agata had previously painted the ceiling red with fake blood splatters and footprints. He then stuck magnetic post-its (similar to Nishiki's) over the whole ceiling to conceal it, using the same color as the ceiling. After killing Nishiki, Agata unstuck all post-its and threw them away on the floor, mixing them up with Nishiki's. He then opened the window and sprayed some of Nishiki's blood with a syringe onto the fake blood traces to pretend he had indeed been murdered on the ceiling by a tengu. Agata, a plastic art expert, also made a fake tengu out of guncotton and used alcohol-ink marker pens to draw on it. He then pasted the very light piece of artwork on his room's ceiling, screamed, pretending to be assaulted by a monster, and threw the ashtray with his lit cigarette in it to the tengu's face to have it explode, burn, and vanish into thin air, as this is how guncotton reacts to fire. He had lit his cigarette not long ago to do so, explaining the only 3-centimeter burn patterns left by his cigarette on the floor, that should have been longer if he'd been smoking for a longer period of time.

Agata had also prepared the restaurant's inuyarai by previously painting it red with the usual traces, but covering it with another inuyarai. After he killed Ihaya, he removed the cover inuyarai, threw his bloody glove, dagger, and coat into it. Then he put his inuyarai over another restaurant's inuyarai. He did not leave any fingerprints on the bloody things for the police to continue to suspect Mayama as the murderer. Shinichi had noticed the dust gap around the first inuyarai, implying it had been covered by something that protected it from dust. Lastly, to frighten Mayama into pinning himself against the railing, Agata used a directional loudspeaker only Mayama could hear, with Dekuri's voice. She had previously painted transparent sheets with red footprints and stuck them to the balcony floor, then covered each one with another sheet the same color as the floor to conceal them. He then tied fishing lines to each sheet, matching the colors, and pulled them away one after another to fool Mayama into believing Dekuri was walking toward him and speaking to him. Agata left his fingerprints on the sheets, as he was certain Mayama would die and everybody would rush to the railing, leaving him time and space enough to retrieve all the sheets and discard them later.

Agata tries to run away, but is surrounded by the police, disguised as visitors. Agata finally confesses to being the serial killer, giving two bumps to his victims just like the tengu does to Kobutori Tale's evil old man who tries to imitate the good Kobutori, just like Nishiki, Ihaya, and Mayama stole Dekuri's work and pretended his name would feature in the movie's credits. But that wasn't the case. Agata asked them for an explanation, saying Dekuri cried constantly, and the three men replied that they were so happy their plan had worked perfectly, thus implying they wanted to humiliate their depressed friend and never had the intention of putting his name in the movie. But Keiko and Mayama show up and say the producers had changed some important typography in the credits, preventing the name "Michio Dekuri" from appearing. The name was actually supposed to appear across the five people's vertical names, which is why everyone changed names and spacing. Dekuri's name was supposed to appear at the same time, but it didn't because the producers didn't want to clear up the mistake afterward for financial reasons. Agata wasn't told because their friends wanted Dekuri and him to discover the surprise while watching the movie together, since they were really close friends. Agata howls in regret for what he did to his friends.

After the case is solved, Ran talks about a nice place Okita told her about, and as Sonoko and Masumi start ahead, Shinichi holds Ran back and asks how she feels about him. Shinichi mentions Ran's meeting with Okita the previous day and wonders if she has forgotten about his confession in London. In response, Ran pulls him closer by grabbing his tie and kisses him on the cheek.

File 1005 - The Dark Crimson Omen

  Show spoilers »

Shinichi moves to kiss Ran on the lips, but the antidote begins to wear off, and he flees.

Masumi gives chase, only to run into Heiji. She realizes that the rucksack Heiji is wearing has the shrunken Shinichi inside it, but doesn't directly confront the two about it. Shinichi and Heiji therefore understand that Masumi knows about Shinichi being Conan.

A teacher of Teitan High School tells students Shinichi has to leave due to an emergency, and tells them not to say a word about Shinichi's coming and presence to Kyoto, as specially asked for by Shinichi himself.

Ran tells Sonoko she actually took Okita aside to give him back his talisman he had dropped during the "Kendo Case" (Vol. 94). She apologised to Okita because she and her father unwittingly opened the talisman, and found a piece of wood and a picture showing Moroha Kurogane, Okita's secret love and a skilled high school kendo practitioner as well. Okita says Moroha is actually his rival Yaiba Kurogane's little sister, and he will date Moroha as soon as he defeats Yaiba at kendo. Okita accepts Ran's excuse but just asks her not to tell a word of this to Momiji, probably because he loves her as well.

As Shinichi and Ran exchange texts about what the kiss means for their relationship, both of them being mutually satisfied with each other's declaration, Masumi speaks with Mary. Mary orders her to obtain the "medicine" that will return her to her true age, so that they can stop running, and counter-attack.

Heiji gives Conan a motorbike ride back to Tokyo, and Ran texts Shinichi to ask him if they're officially dating each other now. Conan thinks about the last antidote Haibara gave him but which he couldn't take as the timing made it impossible: the class was leaving Kyoto and Shinichi still needed to wait for another 8 hours before taking it. Heiji secretly envies Shinichi who not only "stole" his second favourite place in Japan to confess his love to Kazuha, but also as Shinichi is his rival, he now sets the bar high and Heiji has from here on to go further in his relationship with Kazuha as well.

Yukiko and Yusaku are watching the Kyoto Case on TV, in Los Angeles, and are puzzled over the case being so much broadcasted, even worldwide, and hitting the headlines. Yusaku replies it has to do with the victims' and culprit's fame. As Yukiko feels moved to hear the crime motive was Kyoko's boyfriend's death, Yusaku explains he knew about Michio Dekuri's full name as he had seen the movie's poster online and noticed the rearrangement of names and spaces, exactly the same as for the movie's credits, showing the boyfriend's name across his other friends' names, which is why Kyoko/Keiko changed her name. He then comments on the fact Dekuri would have probably not killed himself if he had seen the poster earlier. He also talks about a more burning issue: has Shinichi been spotted by media or else while he was solving the case? Shinichi is considered dead for most people, including the Black Organization.

His fears prove to be right as the case indeed attracts global attention, and someone claims that the apparently dead Shinichi Kudo helped to solve the case. Hyoue Kuroda, Kanenori Wakita, and Rumi Wakasa (who is revealed to have access to the APTX victim list) all take notice of this.

Missing Maria Higashio Case

File 1006 - Stay Put!

Maria Higashio hasn't come to school today and Kobayashi sends Haibara, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta to her home to see how she's going and if everything's all right. Meanwhile, Conan, bed-ridden with a cold, enjoys Ran's agreement to officially start dating each other. He goes to see Agasa and reads in the news that someone saw Shinichi Kudo at Kyoto and on TV. He starts being very nervous and asks Haibara and Heiji about it while Ran, Sonoko and Masumi read it as well. The media overrun Heiji's and Shinichi' high schools, and Shinichi's house, though Okiya can't let them in. The Detective Boys believe Maria went to her late grandparents' house and took part to the scavenger hunt they organised for her. Haibara helps the Detective Boys to follow the arrows and understand the messages. Suddenly, they arrive in a room where a bookshelf was knocked over, and fear Maria might be stuck under it. But it's not the case and there is instead another code to decipher.

File 1007 - That's Just How Nervous I Am

The Detective Boys understand Maria went downstairs and they try to find out the other arrows. Shinichi has still trouble finding who is the "Kudo Family Freak" blog owner and how to stop all that mess. Ran tries to figure out what happens and why is Shinichi considered like a ghost. Heiji tells Conan he'll try to settle things on his side. The Detective Boys finally arrive to a bathroom but the only arrow points to the shower, and there's nothing inside. They convince Haibara to ask Conan's help, and the latter tells them to give some water to the drinking bird next to the arrow.

File 1008 - See? ♡

The Detective Boys give the drinking bird a glass of water and the bird starts bending and unbending. They then notice the glass's water has reversed the arrow's direction, which now points towards the opposite direction of the bathroom, another room the kids fail to open. Kanenori Wakita rings at Agasa's door and asks what's is the hustle and bustle in front of their neighbours' house all about, he can't do his deliveries.

Conan tells the Detective Boys that the door isn't locked but the difference in temperatures between the cold corridor and the warm room where Maria is, creates a pressure gradient that can be dispelled by pushing the door strongly and opening a vent. Maria is indeed inside, asleep. She had come to watch some videos of her grandparents but was then unable to open the door to leave the room, and thought she had to watch every video for the door to open.

"Carasuma" dying message.

Heiji tells the press outside his school that it was Okita that was caught on film and not Shinichi. At the same time, the owner of the blog suddenly retracts her claim that she saw Shinichi.

As Wakita, Wakasa, and Kuroda look at the retraction, Rum sends an email to Rei, demanding that he gather information about Shinichi Kudo.

Yukiko and Yusaku have returned to Japan and reveal to Conan that they convinced the blog owner to retract her claim in exchange for their autographs. They decide to remain in the country for the foreseeable future, in light of Yusaku's interpretation of Koji Haneda's dying message, which leads them and Conan to believe that Renya Karasuma is connected to the Black Organization. Yusaku goes as far to declare that, in light of this revelation, Conan has made an enemy of the most powerful man in all of Japan, even though Karasuma should be long dead.

Black Bunny's Club Case

File 1009 - At Black Bunny's Club

Kogoro is invited to a club by his client. Amuro mentions Shinichi's involvement in the previous case to Ran, who says that they were instructed not to talk about the case by their teacher. To avoid any further discussion on Shinichi, Conan invites Amuro to the club. Kogoro agrees.

At the club, the client Gunzou Morooka explains and produces a threatening letter that reads he will be killed if he enters the Black Bunny Club. He also enters the club with his bodyguard waiting outside since their stern faces would spoil the environment. Everyone is amused that the bravado of Morooka. He seems overly friendly with a particular worker, Yuri Asakura and offers free food to her and drinks to every worker of the Black Bunny Club. Kogoro, Amuro and Conan do not notice any suspicious figures. However, there is a club worker, Sana Murakami, who seems to be angry with her colleague Yuri. She intentionally spills drink on Yuri's cuffs and tells her to get spares from the changing room. Morooka accidentally steps on his butler's spectacles and goes outside with Kogoro to fetch a replacement from the car. When they try to leave, Yuri collapses after drinking a certain beverage.

Nine hours later, after leaving for the Black Bunny's Club and encountering a murder there, Amuro and Akai come face to face, their guns pointed at each-other.

File 1010 - So this is Goodbye...

Ran notices her wallet is gone and Murakami gives it back to her. She says Amuro gave it to her, claiming to have found it in front of the bathroom. Conan seemingly doesn't notice this exchange.

Amuro has a sudden flashback to Elena Miyano treating his wounds and telling him goodbye—he wonders why he suddenly remembered her.

In a flashback with a young Amuro being treated by Elena, it is revealed that Amuro is half-japanese. Bullies used to make fun of his hair and that was the reason he got into fights with them. He was badly injured and Akemi brought him to her parents' clinic. Elena Miyano, who was never too frank with any patient, seemed to be very friendly with Amuro. On asking why, she replied to her husband Atsushi that she's half-japanese too. The Karasuma Group offered to sponsor Atsushi Miyano's research but he was reluctant to accept their offer considering strange rumors surrounding the organization among his colleagues about being a shady group. However, he agreed to think about it after Elena announced that she was pregnant with another child.

The culprit is Atsufumi Fukamachi. The real reason Amuro had remembered Elena was because the truth of the case resembled his behavior when he'd injure himself intentionally so he could go to the hospital Elena worked in. In the next scene, Amuro is seen knocking at the door of the Kudos' residence. The next moment, Amuro and Akai are holding guns at each-other when Yusaku and Yukiko appear making Amuro flustered.
