Case

Situation

Murder

Location: Kawashima's apartment

Victim: Yusuke Kawashima

Age: 45 years old

Cause of death: Stab wound to the chest

Suspects: Haruko Nagisa, Miyuki Jono, and Akito Kubodera

Yusuke Kawashima held an audition the previous day where whoever passed would get to co-star with Miyuki Jono. Just some hours ago, someone got inside and murdered him, then got away on their motorcycle and nearly hit a café maid on their run. Assistant film director Akito Kubodera ran into the culprit when they rushed out of Kawashima's room; he found their appearance identical to Haruko Nagisa, one of the auditors. Kubodera’s testimony was strengthened via security camera footage collected by the police and testimony from nearby civilians. Unfortunately, he was the only one to see the culprit’s face since they wore a motorcycle helmet on their run.

Reckless endangerment

Victim: Yukari Suda

Consequence: Hit by a motorcycle

Suspects: Haruko Nagisa, Miyuki Jono, and Akito Kubodera

The culprit nearly hit the café maid on their way to escape the scene.

When Takagi and Sato asked her to come with them for questioning, she simply admitted that she killed Kawashima without explaining the motive, so she was taken to the interrogation room 3 for further investigation. Kogoro and Conan are also present at her interrogation because Kawashima was Kogoro’s client. This time, Nagisa denies her crime and claims that she admitted the crime under pressure. Meanwhile, Kogoro and Conan have watched the footage and point out some differences between Nagisa’s appearance and the culprit’s. Megure proposes the theory that someone must have disguised to be like Nagisa and committed the crime, to which Kogoro strengthens by mentioning that Kawashima asked him to investigate Jono. In fact, Kawashima revealed to the detective that they were dating, only for Kogoro to discover Jono’s affair with Kubodera.

There are some confusions that delay the investigation:

Nagisa finally reveals that she had an alibi around the time Kawashima died: She was resting on a bench at Meryl park when a total of two women passed by her – one carrying a dog while the other was taking her daughter along. Takagi, Kogoro, and Conan arrive at the said bench to retrieve the camera footage, and find her words to be correct. However, Conan disapproves this to be a legit alibi because he found tape residue under the said bench.
Some differences between Nagisa’s appearance and the culprit’s are from their personal watches and hair color (the culprit’s hair color is darker than Nagisa’s). The wig with the same color as the culprit was found at Jono’s apartment, which could imply she was the culprit. However, she is currently in the hospital with Kubodera owing to the shock of the murder.

To this point, Conan thinks of the witness(es) that he can manipulate to help with the case, but cannot be used to form a false alibi.

-Akito Kubodera happened to see the culprit, who looked identical to Nagisa. Based on the camera footage that caught the culprit on their motorcycle, it appears at first glance that someone must have disguised themselves as Nagisa and committed the murder to frame her. Everyone seems to be convinced of this theory, except for Sato and Conan, with Sato having watched the video and noticed Nagisa’s somewhat unusual expression. At the same time, Conan thinks that Nagisa could have just made a copy of herself.
+When Takagi and Sato asked her to come with them for questioning, she simply admitted that she killed Kawashima without explaining the motive, so she was taken to the interrogation room 3 for further investigation.

In fact, Kawashima revealed to the detective that they were dating, only for Kogoro to discover Jono’s affair with Kubodera.
-Kogoro's suspicion turns toward Miyuki Jono, whom Kawashima asked to investigate, after he discovered that she was also dating Kubodera in secret.
-Some confusion delays the investigation:
-* Nagisa's testimony: She claims to have been resting on a bench in Meryl Park and saw a woman with her dog and another woman with her daughter, which can be refuted. Conan found tape residue suggesting that she might have attached a camera under the bench to observe people passing by and used it as a false alibi. This may explain why she can remember the details with such amazing accuracy. Kogoro, with his "crush" on Nagisa, harshly denies this and grabs Conan, much to Megure’s discomfort.
-* The wig and the motorcycle that the culprit used are found near Jono’s apartment. This could imply that she was the one behind the murder. However, she is reported to be in the hospital along with Kubodera after the shock of the murder. This could imply that Jono couldn't be the murderer despite being a star actress.
-Suddenly, Conan thinks of another witness that might help with the case, but couldn’t be used to form a false alibi. Who could they be?

-The police bring the café maid to the interrogation room, but without her uniform, to identify if Haruko Nagisa was the one to hit her. Nagisa objects saying that the maid couldn’t see the culprit's face because they were wearing a helmet. Her outburst proves that '''Haruko Nagisa''' is the culprit of the murder, as the day of the murder coincided with the opening day of the café, meaning that only a few should be able to recognize the girl as the maid without the uniform. Nagisa can tell she's the café's maid almost instantly, even without her uniform, which means she was there that day.
+Following Conan’s request, the café maid that almost got hit earlier is brought in the scene, without the maid outfit. The atmosphere is quiet until '''Haruko Nagisa''' bursts into laughter as she ''recognizes'' the girl to be the café maid, and that she must be instructed by the police to falsely accuse her as the culprit since no one saw the culprit’s face aside from Kubodera. The sleeping Kogoro reveals that the day the murder occurred is, in fact, ''the opening day'' of the café the said girl was working at, and that the girl stopped working at the café after the said incident, so the only possible explanation for how she recognizes the face is that she was the one riding the motorcycle that almost hit the girl, thus leading to the conclusion that she was the murderer.
-The murder is revealed to have been a misunderstanding, as Nagisa thought that the victim knew everything about the accident she caused. In reality, he was just impressed by her reaction to the line and did not know that she was the one who caused the accident that inspired the film in production.
+The reason she murdered Kawashima was because he smiled at her reaction during her turn at the audition, in which she was shown a picture of an accident that she caused during her second summer of high school. However, it is revealed that the accident inspired him to make the film, and that he did not know Nagisa was the one causing the accident.
