Situation

Part 1

It has been 10 years since the last time Beika University participated in the Birdman Rally, which was also their best performance so far. This will no longer be true, as they have signed up for the manual division of this year’s Birdman Rally to break it. The news excites Kogoro so much that he has come with the decision to take Conan and Ran to Hikone, where the event is set to be held at, to witness the moment live.

After the trio arrive at Hikone, Heiji and Kazuha show up in the former motorcycle, to which Conan and Ran come to greet them. While it’s true that Heiji and Kazuha come to Hikone because Heiji never misses this yearly event, Beika University’s participation excited them even more since they knew Shinichi Conan, Ran, and Kogoro would come to cheer for the university. At the same time, two members of Beika University come to show their gratitude to Kogoro for coming. The student in glasses is Aero Quest’s airframe designer Yuma Masaki, and one without glasses is its pilot Sho Ishizumi.

There are fourteen teams competing in the manual division of the event, and Beika University has a decent amount of time to make their final adjustments to the Aero Quest since their flight is ninth in order. Yuma goes to the school bus to take something he forgot earlier; he ends up being knocked out, shoved in a vehicle, and taken away in a black vehicle. His younger sister Rin is worried when he went away for so long, and decides to search for him. Ran and Kazuha then see Rin and decide to look for Yuma together. Eventually, they find the tablet he never goes without near the school bus, which leads to Conan and Heiji discovering traces left by the kidnapper(s) when called by Ran and Kazuha.

The valuable detail mentioned by the security guard when he is inquired by Conan and Heiji.

Rin has to leave early because it’s about Beika University’s turn to compete, so Conan entrusts her to give one of his detective badges to Ishizumi, saying it was a lucky charm Kogoro gave to the pilot. While Ran and Kazuha also return to spectate the competition, Conan and Heiji follow the traces up to a vacant of the parking lot, after which they inquire the security guard about. 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

Time: At-least three years ago

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

Conan manages to confirm Riku is currently present after inquiring pictures from a writer who has been taking those throughout the event. More importantly, he was shown wearing a Beika University uniform in one of the pictures, meaning he must have infiltrated the group for something. His purpose becomes clear when Conan is informed by Kogoro about the dangerous purchase Riku made on a dark web, discovered by the police and conveyed to by Megure: “A bomb that comes with a transmitter, and a relay device.” He wanted to put Ishizumi in guilt for killing his friend instead of securing the kill himself, proven by how he bought the relay device so that the signal could only be disrupted by sinking the transmitter.

Hostage situation

Location: Basement of an abandoned building

Victim: Yuma Masaki

Age: 21 years old

Method: Bombing

Culprit: Riku Momochi

Heiji finds Yuma being kept inside a room under the basement of an abandoned house. He is tied up close to a bomb that will go off when the signal from the transmitter is disrupted.

Meanwhile, Heiji reaches Hikone Castle, having asked a security guard where Riku’s vehicle went, and discovers the place to be where Riku rented the van. Moments later, Heiji discovers an abandoned van and confirms it to be Riku’s, upon seeing the article praising Yuma and Ishizumi for capturing Ryu. Near the abandoned vehicle is an abandoned warehouse, where Heiji decides to investigate. Under the basement of the warehouse, Heiji finds a room where Yuma is being kept inside with a bomb; he tries to break the door separating between but the floor collapses due to the building’s weak structure.

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.
