Case

Situation

Part 1

Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are at the arcade where they meet their High School English teacher, Jodie Saintemillion who is an avid gamer. Jodie introduces Ran to a virtual reality fighting game which uses mechanics to simulate a real fight. Ran loses to a gamer named Kengo Bito who taunts her in her lost. Bito plays the game again his rival, Takayasu Shimizu; The battle is projected on a large screen. Bito's avatar overwhelms Shimizu's but stops at the climax of the match. The people in the arcade realize Bito is dead and the police are called in.

The culprit is Takayasu Shimizu. In their game, the male character completely overpowers the female character causing everyone to think Takagi had beaten Ran. Instead it was the opposite; Takagi was playing the female character while wearing his tie as a blindfold underneath the game helmet. Conan reveals that Shimizu was the one playing Bito's avatar in order disguise the fact Bito was already dead during the final game. Instead of claiming a decisive victory at the finish, Shimizu purposefully caused the match to end in a draw so that his screen would not display that he was the winner and Bito was the loser.

To dispose of the murder weapon, Conan explains Shimizu hid the poisoned needle tip inside a cigarette, and placed the cigarette on a gum wrapper with a piece of chewed gum sandwiched in between. Someone, who by coincidence happened to be Dejima, would accidentally step on the paper and transport the murder weapon away. The decisive evidence that Shimizu is the culprit is a coin in Bito's arcade machine with Shimizu's fingerprints. Since Bito was dead, Shimizu himself had to put a coin in Bito's machine in order to start their final match.

Motive

Bito was a gambler habitually in debt, and Shimizu's sister had worked endlessly trying to pay it off. She didn't even eat which caused her to develop Vitamin A deficiency that descended into blindness. Shimizu made a deal with Bito that if he beat him in the fighting game as Haido Lucas then Bito would leave his sister and say that he regret doing it since he never get a chance to beat him.

Conclusion

As Sonoko, Ran, and Jodie leave the arcade, Jodie says she was impressed with Sonoko's deductions, comparing her to American female police officer Kate Martin. Ran compares Sonoko's deduction style to Shinichi's, causing Jodie to reminisce about how cool Shinichi was at the school festival. When Jodie goes her separate way, she calls Conan "Cool Guy". That night, Jodie calls an unknown person to discuss how her target, "Rotten Apple", has changed their appearance.
