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 in Tokyo

Time: At-least three years ago

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

Conan then decides to keep an eye on Ishizumi while Heiji searches for Riku’s whereabouts by asking people in the area.

Meanwhile, Megure receives information from Takagi about discovering the dangerous purchase Riku made on a dark web–a bomb that comes with a transmitter, and a relay device. He deduces that the bomb becomes active by starting the transmitter, and explodes when it stops receiving signal from that transmitter, but couldn’t figure out why Riku needs a relay device. Still, he informs Kogoro of this.

Conan, on the other hand, manages to confirm Riku's presence with pictures taken by a writer. More importantly, he was shown in one of the pictures to be in a Beika University uniform, suggesting he must have infiltrated the group for no good–like how is he supposed to get in legitimately? Just then, Kogoro reaches out to Conan to convey what Megure told him previously, from which the purpose of the relay device is clear: Increasing the distance in which the bomb receives signal from the transmitter.

Hostage situation

Location: Basement of an abandoned building

Victim: Yuma Masaki

Age: 21 years old

Method: Bombing

Culprit: Riku Momochi

From Megure's information about the bomb Kogoro conveys to Conan, he realizes that the bomb Riku bought is going to blow up wherever Yuma is currently kept if Beika University aircraft hits the water. Meanwhile, Heiji finds Yuma’s whereabouts under the basement of an abandoned warehouse, tied up in a locked room while the said bomb is nearby.

At the same time, Heiji is walking toward Hikone Castle following the answers of another security guard about where Riku’s vehicle went–the location turns out to be where Riku rented the van. Moments later, Heiji sees a van on an empty lot and is able to confirm it was the one seen by the security guards when he notices an article praising Yuma and Ishizumi. Coincidentally, he finds an abandoned warehouse close to where he found the van, so he decides to investigate inside the building. There, he finds Yuma tied up in a room under the basement with a bomb nearby. He tries to break the door, only to cause the floor to collapse, rendering him unconscious.

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.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

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.

Trivia

• Real-life TV announcer Shinichi Hatori (羽鳥 慎一) voiced the announcer in both episodes, although the announcer is never shown in person.
