Case

Situation

Part 1

Kogoro took his kids to the Birdman Rally held at Hikone, where Beika University will be participating in the manual division for the first time in ten years. Heiji also took Kazuha there as they never miss this yearly event.

Two of the Beika University members come to say hi to Kogoro–Aero Quest airframe designer Yuma Masaki, and Aero Quest pilot Sho Ishizumi. The event kicks off as Beika University members are making final adjustments to the Aero Quest, while Yuma has to get something he left on the school bus–where he gets knocked out, dragged away, and shoved in a vehicle.

Moments later, Ran and Kazuha spot Yuma’s younger sister Rin looking for him, so they decide to search for him. Eventually, the tablet Yuma never goes without is found under the school bus, to which Conan and Heiji also find the traces left from the kidnapping. Rin has to leave early because it’s almost Aero Quest’s turn to compete; and Conan entrusts her with one of his detective badges, saying it was a lucky charm for Ishizumi.

The valuable detail mentioned by the security guard when he is inquired by Conan and Heiji.

At the end of the kidnapping traces is an empty slot of the parking lot, so while Ran and Kazuha return to their seats, Heiji and Conan inquire the security guard about the car that used to park at the said slot. The guard recognizes the vehicle, and remembers a valuable detail about its driver: A young man wearing a bracelet engraved with the word “shita”–reminding Conan of a serial robber gang.

Using information Conan got from looking up the news and inquiring Megure, details of the serial robbery could be summed up as follow: Several years ago, multiple banks and jewelry stores were attacked by a robber gang led by Riku Momochi. All of them wore a bracelet that had the word "shita" engraved on it, except for Riku, whose word was "hyaku". They were all captured despite having split up to avoid the police pursuit following a failed attempt to rob a bank three years ago; and they are currently serving sentences with the exception of Riku, who died one year ago due to illness. It is worth noting that Riku was caught by Yuma and Ishizumi when they ran into each other, and that Riku has a younger brother who likes to wear the mozu bracelet despite not being part of the robbers.

Serial robbery (past)

Location: Multiple banks and jewelry stores

Time: At-least three years ago

Culprits: Ryu Momochi (deceased) and his accomplices (serving sentences)

Conan manages to confirm Riku is currently present after inquiring pictures from a writer who has been taking those throughout the event. More importantly, he was shown wearing a Beika University uniform in one of the pictures, meaning he must have infiltrated the group for something. His purpose becomes clear when Conan is informed by Kogoro about the dangerous purchase Riku made on a dark web, discovered by the police and conveyed to by Megure: “A bomb that comes with a transmitter, and a relay device.” He wanted to put Ishizumi in guilt for killing his friend instead of securing the kill himself, proven by how he bought the relay device so that the signal could only be disrupted by sinking the transmitter.

Hostage situation

Location: Basement of an abandoned building

Victim: Yuma Masaki

Age: 21 years old

Method: Bombing

Culprit: Riku Momochi

Heiji finds Yuma being kept inside a room under the basement of an abandoned house. He is tied up close to a bomb that will go off when the signal from the transmitter is disrupted.

Meanwhile, Heiji reaches Hikone Castle, having asked a security guard where Riku’s vehicle went, and discovers the place to be where Riku rented the van. Moments later, Heiji discovers an abandoned van and confirms it to be Riku’s, upon seeing the article praising Yuma and Ishizumi for capturing Ryu. Near the abandoned vehicle is an abandoned warehouse, where Heiji decides to investigate. Under the basement of the warehouse, Heiji finds a room where Yuma is being kept inside with a bomb; he tries to break the door separating between but the floor collapses due to the building’s weak structure.

Accident

Location: An abandoned building

Victim: Heiji Hattori

Age: 16-17 years old

Cause of accident: Floor collapsing

Heiji tries to break the door so he can get Yuma out of there, however, the floor of the building collapses when he does so.

+Since Riku Momochi wanted to witness Ishizumi causing Yuma to go off with a bang, Kogoro decided to put himself on a gamble: pretending to be a drunkard to disrupt the live comment of the event. This is enough to cause Riku to outburst in fury, thus leading to his own downfall.
