(→Resolution: Minor asthetic changes and fact checking. Separating Akiko's plan from the actual events is a bit more appropriate, especially since everything after "However" is about Conan's deductive process, not her plan.) |
(→Resolution: readd Maeda's plan in first paragraph. This gives readers the option of reading a short summary instead of the giant wall of text to figure out what is going on.) |

She disguised as the Night Baron and attacked Conan with the intention of scaring Kogoro back home before the murder occurred to prevent his involvement in the investigation as well as establish that the Night Baron was terrorizing the participants in order to justify Ebara's fall in the costume. Satoru Maeda, Sayama's boyfriend, realized Sayama was the murderer, stole the Night Baron disguise from the police, and attacked Ran and Sayama in order to give Sayama an alibi and take blame for her if the police discovered her trick. |
After dinner, Akiko called Ebara up to her room, implying that she would give him the Night Baron Virus. Once he arrived, she drugged him to make him fall asleep, went to his room to plant the glove Kogoro found stuck to the balcony and create a room locked from the inside, and then put the rest of the Night Baron outfit on him (minus the unnecessary wig) before she threw him off the building. While landing on the statue was a fluke, having Ebara's body land in the area beneath his room's balcony was her goal. In order to conceal the fact that Ebara was in her room, she dropped his body out the window closest to his balcony, which happened to be sheltered from the wind blowing outside. This way, it seems like Ebara locked himself in his room, changed into the costume, and attempted to descend into the room below (the room occupied by Genichirou and Shizue) in order to cause more mischief, only to slip and fall to his death. | After dinner, Akiko called Ebara up to her room, implying that she would give him the Night Baron Virus.

The Case
Conan, Ran, and Kogoro end up on a vacation to the Izu Princess Hotel beach resort, which is actually a mystery tour, to find the sponsor behind the tour who is using the alias Night Baron (a fictional character in Yusaku Kudo's books). The winner gets the hotel stay covered and a software program that is most likely a powerful virus also named for the Night Baron. Seven other people are on the tour as well, and they all become tense when Kogoro is revealed to be a private detective. Later, while Conan is pondering the mystery on a balcony, the Night Baron appears and pushes Conan over the edge, causing him to land in the pool below.
Later that night, when Conan, Ran, and Maeda are in the top-floor viewing lounge and Kogoro and Kamijo are in the hotel bar, the Night Baron reappears. Rather than causing more trouble, he falls from a hotel balcony and becomes impaled on the spear of a statue in the outdoor restaurant.
Murder | |||||||||
|
Conan must determine who the Night Baron is, why Tokio Ebara was murdered, and how both connect to the rumored computer virus. Amidst the investigation, the Night Baron reappears once more in front of Ran, Conan, and Akiko, but does nothing else besides dodge Ran's instinctive karate kick and then vanish once more. Ran and Conan's suspicion about the identity of the culprit is aroused, but is it the truth? Conan via Kogoro leads Inspector Yokomizo to solve the case, but who is really Night Baron?
