Since there has been no sign of the jewelry being sold domestically, the police thought the crime boss would attempt to smuggle them out of the country, and therefore set up the blockades in order to capture him.

Case

Situation

Riding in a taxi driven by Kogoro-superfan Genki Ishikawa, Conan and Kogoro travel to Furai City to attend an event organized by the city. They had supposedly been recommended to be special guests of the event by Megure, but when Conan calls Megure himself to confirm (using Kogoro's voice), Megure denies any knowledge of this. Megure adds that, recently, a series of mysterious jewel robberies have occurred in the metropolitan area.

Serial robberies
EP1188 Case1.jpg
Location: Various jewelry stores in Tokyo
Stolen items: Expensive rings, necklaces, and crowns
Culprits: Multiple, unnamed thieves-for-hire
(crime boss is unknown)
Although various jewels and crowns have been stolen, there is no sign of them being sold domestically. Therefore, it is likely that these stolen items will be smuggled out of the country.

Group of robbers subdued by female employees

Since there is no sign of the jewelry being sold domestically, the police suspect the jewels to be smuggled out of the country. Therefore, they have set up security checkpoints at every airport and dock in the country possible in an attempt to stop them. Despite this, another jewelry store was robbed today. Surprisingly, nothing was stolen; in fact, the thieves were captured by the jewelry store staff without needing the assistance of the police, making this robbery seem much less organized than the previous robberies. This makes Megure suspect that someone is toying with the police.

After this call with Megure, Conan makes a connection between the sloppy robbery and the mysterious, almost absurd, nomination of Kogoro for the role of Frozen Mince Cutlet Kid. Both of these events seem to fool with their subjects, so could these events be more than just a coincidence? As Conan is deep in thought, Ishikawa's taxi arrives with Kogoro and Ran to pick him up. They intend to head home, but the mayor arrives once more to try to convince the group to stay. He starts chattering about the cutting-edge technology used in the city's new factory.

A keyword within this talking, “finely mince,” catches Conan’s attention and helps him figure out the truth of the disappeared jewels.
