Case

Situation

Haibara and Mitsuhiko are waiting for Conan, Ayumi, and Genta to arrive so that Mitsuhiko can properly read his Holmes story The Adventure of the Abbey Grange for the first time with his friends. As the kids are walking on the road, a cat stops by Haibara, which catches Mitsuhiko’s attention as well. The cat takes the two to a room, a room where another man is terrified because of a corpse. It takes much longer than usual for the police to know the corpse belongs to Daiki Fujinai.

Murder

Location: Toichiro Hakozaki's residence

Victim: Daiki Fujinai

Time: Around 1:30 PM

Cause of death: Blunt force trauma to the head

Suspects: Tomohiro Nojima, three robbers caught running in a hurry

Before knowing the identity of the man, the police examine the scene and notice that some of the household’s belongings have been. In addition, there are three used wine glasses on the table, suggesting that the group of thieves were celebrating from hitting the jackpot, despite having to eliminate one of their members.

The police decide to interrogate the man who was terrified earlier, Tomohiro Nojima. Nojima is a long-time fan of Toichiro Hakozaki, the owner of the residence, and both of them are acquainted with each other. About Hakozaki, Nojima mentions he is currently taking a break from column writing due to exhaustion, he has a favorite writing tool - fountain pen, and he does not own a smartphone. The reason Nojima was in the room is because he received a call from Hakozaki, asking if he could bring the fountain pen to Hakozaki. In addition, Hakozaki gave him proper guidance to enter the house and told him that he can take his time: "To enter the house, look for the potted plant at the entrance, you will find my spare key." – We can’t confirm if Hakozaki said that to Nojima, but he meant it. However, Nojima found the door not shut when he arrived, so he entered directly, which led to the scene we saw earlier in the episode.

Outside, Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys, having heard everything outside, begin to discuss certain details of the case. While the other members of the Detective Boys are off-screen, Conan follows Nojima, as he is exploring Hakozaki’s working space for the first time. Then Conan goes out somewhere and finds a schedule^[1]:

Burnable trash is collected on Monday/Thursday.
Non-burnable trash is collected on Saturday.
Recyclables are collected on Tuesday.
Cans and bottles are collected on Friday.
Note: The specific type of trash should only be disposed of on a designated day in the week. Trash is collected in the morning only.

Later, Haibara, the Detective Boys, and Nojima are eavesdropping on Megure's call, as he receives information that a security camera captured several suspicious men. Conan calls Haibara to ask her if the police determined Hakozaki’s whereabouts, to which she tells him that the police are focusing on the robber, and demands Conan to explain his action. Conan reveals that Hakozaki called the manager with a payphone in Nagoya around 2 PM this day to inform his temporary breaks. Conan was able to confirm such details by hearing the conversation between Takagi and the manager. One notable detail is that Hakozaki has not been able to write for two weeks since he received his job, despite being able to write columns in the blink of an eye. This could suggest chances that the entertainer was abducted, but Nojima is not convinced with this theory. Everyone suddenly remembers the cat, and decides to find the cat and ask everyone in the neighborhood.

Later, Detective Chiba informs that the police were able to capture the robbers, but the robber revealed that they saw the corpse when they broke in, which led them to leave the house in a hurry. He also reveals that Nojima frequently visits the resident, and the neighbors told him that Nojima is quite stalkerish. Mitsuhiko and Haibara, having heard the conversation outside, deduce that Nojima saw Fujinai attempting to break into the house, and hit him. He ran away in a hurry, but was asked for a favor by Hakozaki, not knowing about the robber, and he pretended to be a witness. Worrying that the others might be in danger, Mitsuhiko contacts others with the Detective Badge while he and Haibara are rushing to the others’ location. Suddenly, the two find the cat and decide to chase it, up to Hakozaki's secret apartment.

Meanwhile, Genta and Ayumi find Conan gathering something, along with Nojima, who are helping Conan look for evidence, as the two simply ran into each other a moment ago.

Trivia

The open bottle of wine in Hakozaki's apartment is a Château Haut-Brion. The other bottles on the shelves include Hennessy.

At around 2:30 PM, when he arrived at the house and looked for the keys under the pot that was mentioned in the guide, there were no keys to be found but the door was open, so he went inside.
