There, he notices a phone left behind that is also ringing, he answers the call trying to help the person receiving it back, only to realize that Momiji is dragged into a hostage situation that requires Iori to follow the order of that person or else she will be killed.

Hostage situation
EP1171-1172 Case1.jpg
Location: Bullet train
Hostage: Momiji Ooka
Suspects: Unknown

The person asks him to wake up a man sitting near the window at the end of the train car no.14, Iori says that he couldn’t wake him up as the person admits his disgusting crime of killing the person, and requests him to take the USB from that person. It appears that the murder was performed accidentally while they happened to see Iori, whom they knew to be a former PSB officer as mentioned earlier, and they decided to use Momiji as a hostage to force Iori to do the dirty job of theirs.

Murder
EP1171-1172 Case2.jpg
Location: Bullet train
Victim: Hirotaka Tanigawa
Cause of death: Stab wound in the chest
Suspects: Unknown
Tanigawa refused to give his USB and tried to fight back, only to receive a fatal stab to the chest from a knife.

However, they can’t find anything near the victim so the blackmailer suggests that Iori find it in the luggage instead. The luggage has regular items for a normal tourist, except for a blue notebook that has a statement related to Tsuguri’s recent scandal in its last page, which reminds him about the suicide of the man’s secretary. Meanwhile, Momiji’s group was worried that Iori disappeared suddenly for no reason and asked Heiji to check it out, which makes Iori improvise so that he could continue the searching, not knowing that Heiji has been calling Conan to confirm the situation that the group is in.

Suicide? (past)
EP1171-1172 Case3.jpg
Location: Unknown
Victim: Tsurugi's secretary
Cause of death: Not described
(The laying victim's head is surrounded by blood, which points to a head injury that could be caused by a fall from a high place)
Suspects: Unknown

Iori also gradually comes to the conclusion that the USB may contain evidence that can reveal something about the suicide, and that he himself has met the blackmailer at some point in the past. He recalls an incident three years ago, when he was still a PSB officer.

First intrusion
EP1171-1172 Case4.jpg
Location: Ooka Summer Villa
Victim: Muga Iori
Injury: Slash wound on the right forearm
Culprits: Unidentified group of intruders

He was very tired and slightly injured from the fight with numerous scoundrels in the villa of the former prime minister. He decided to use the tie to stop bleeding and have rest is the storage room of the villa where he unintentionally encountered Momiji Ooka, who happened to be safe all along because of her mischievous intentions like any child. At first, Iori planned to have his colleagues escort the girl home safely while he himself would take the desired nap. But not long after, it was interrupted by the presence of three scoundrels with murder intentions on the girl upon learning that the former prime minister was not there all along.

Second intrusion and Attempted murder
EP1171-1172 Case5.jpg
Location: Ooka Summer Villa
Victims: Muga Iori and Momiji Ooka
Culprits: Unidentified group of intruders (related to previous intrusion)

While Iori was worrying about Momiji’s safety, the girl suddenly grabbed his hand in fear and was revealed to have done first aid for wounds of the sleeping officer with many many bandages.

Part 2

Having been found by the scoundrels, Iori had no choice but to defeat them like other scoundrels. However, one of them managed to flee away from being subdued by the PSB officers later on and swore to make Iori pay one day.

The story returns to the present where Iori still hasn’t found the USB yet, as the butler return to the body to finally notice how the victim hid it so well that the blackmailer couldn’t find in the first place, Heiji comes with message from Conan, hinting that they have acknowledged about the situation.
