Cast

Case

Situation

Part 1

In Gunma prefecture, Kogoro has just solved a case of a son running away from home due to failing the entrance exam, which was actually thanks to Conan finding a photo posted by the missing person on the Internet. Kogoro decides to find a restaurant there to eat as a way to reward himself, but he is not convinced with the one Conan just picks on the Internet, and decides to call Yamamura to suggest a reliable one, with Ran grumbling that in her mind that they found the person thanks to the internet. However, as soon as Yamamura hears that the great detective is in Gunma, he asks the detective to aid him at a scene of the murder that was assigned to him, because Yamamura also encounters three terrifying Nagano police officers.

When the family arrives to help Yamamura, they immediately recognize the three as Taka’aki Morofushi, Yamato Kansuke, and Yui Uehara. The Gunma officer is surprised to learn this, even though he has met Yamato and Yui in a serial murder in Tokyo. Taka’aki upon receiving the look from Yamamura, answers that he did not join the case. Yamamura says that he just looks familiar to him. Back at the scene, as it turns out, the Nagano trio came first, and when they came back with their coroner, Yamamura was there and accidentally messed up the crime scene. What makes it worse is Yamamura can’t completely recall the pose of the victim before he touched it, which is why Kansuke just wants to get him off the case, but Taka’aki steps in and offers collaboration between two prefectural police.

Murder
EP1123-1124 Case1.jpg
Location: Fuyuna Pass Hotel on the Nagano-Gunma prefectural border
Victim: Kazuki Tsukishima
Age: 30 years old
Cause of death: Blunt-force trauma
Suspects: Yumi Nakata, Kyouko Hoshikawa and Senta Hanayama

The victim is a streamer who makes videos to gain profit from advertisements. He also went there with some fellow streamers, who are currently the main suspects of the case. The Nagano Police decide to interrogate them again, this time with Yamamura and the Mouri’s family.

  • First, Yumi Nakata says that she heard a strange noise outside the window at 11:00 pm. And when she opened the window to look outside, she saw a body in the parking lot and a person wearing a hoodie sweatshirt running away from the body, so she called Gunma prefectural police and informed this to Senta Hanayama.
  • Next, Kyouko Hoshikawa's testimony is almost identical, with the difference being the one she called: Nagano police and an ambulance.

The reason for four of them to come to the hotel was… to compare the deliciousness between 2 specific foods, one from Gunma, and another from Nagano. Yamamura and Yamato end up arguing that their food is better. Conan notices the existence of a camera, with the footage having been watched by the Nagano officers. Still, they decide to watch it again with the others. It is seen in the footage that the victim tried to find the border and looked at his watch when being beaten by the culprit, which means that he was trying to say something with Nagano-Gunma or with the border.

When Taka’aki is deducing about what the victim was trying to do, Yamamura keeps looking at his face, thinking about the time with his childhood friend, Hiromitsu Morofushi, and decides to ask Taka’aki’s last name. Taka’aki replies: Morofushi. Yamamura is delighted to learn that Hiromitsu was Taka’aki younger brother, and shares his memories with Hiro when they were kids. They also share a base that left Yamamura to question why Hiro called it Misao’s home. One day though, Yamamura’s friends disappeared suddenly due to peculiar circumstances. Back to the present, Yamato mentions Hiro as a police officer, in which Taka’aki replies that he has left the unit and can’t ever be contacted again.

Back to the investigation, the police have so far found a sock and a hoodie that were used for the murder, and it appears that a heavy object was used to put into the sock to turn it into a murder weapon. Conan, Kansuke and Taka’aki deduce that the culprit must be one out of the three interrogated people, with Conan explaining why they can conclude that through the camera footage, so another and much further interrogation has to be made to find the true culprit. The first one is Nakata, Conan reveals that he has recorded the footage and wants to confirm the woman in the footage, with Nakata praising him for being so smart. However, Kogoro suddenly drops a picture in her room, which sparks Conan’s curiosity.

Part 2

Conan asks her about the woman who is not present here, which she says was Chizu Yaba and suggests Conan to ask from the other two as well.

Next, Hoshikawa tells them about Yaba and the miraculous rescue which everyone was talking about on the Internet, but recalls that Yaba was found injured after falling from a staircase in a building when the four were shopping.

People


  • Resolution

    Manga to anime changes

    • Some original scenes and dialogues are added:
    • The mother and her son at the beginning has additional dialogues in the anime after parting away with Kogoro.
    • Yamamura, Yamaoto, and Yui's meeting during the events in The Raven Chaser is directly shown with scenes from the movie, (albeit redrawn) instead of being vague.
    • The anime add more flashback scenes of younger Hiro and Yamamura.
    • The reaction of Komei, Yamato, and Yui after Yamamura suggests that Joshu soba is better.
    • Kogoro saying that he need to loosen his belt and tie after eating soba.
    • Some scenes are not adapted:
    • Ran suggests that they go to one of the restaurants with high star rating.
    • Conan asking who Kogoro is going to ask for food recommendation.
    • Kogoro's monologue after Yamamura finishes his call.
    • The scene when the culprit hit the victim for the third time.
    • Senta saying that almost all streamers want to make themselves look better, after Kogoro asking that he brought a ring light.
    • Senta mentioning his words when he was talking to the hotel staff through the door.
    • Yamamura imagining what Kazuki was thinking while waiting at the parking lot.
    • Conan asking Kogoro if his explanation about the trick is right.

    Trivia

    • According to production script posted by Nobuharu Kamanaka, the episodes have a tentative title of Gunma Prefectural Police vs. Nagano Prefectural Police? The Body on the Prefectural Border (群馬県警VS長野県警? 県境の遺体 Gunma Kenkei Vāsasu Nagano Kenkei? Bōdā no Itai?)[1].
    • The names of the suspects are related to Kyōka Suigetsu (鏡花水月), a recurring theme in Japanese traditional poetry, meaning "flowers reflected on a mirror and the moon reflected on the water's surface"[2] :
      • Kyoko Hoshikawa (星川 鏡子) comes from mirror ( kagami/kyō?) ;
      • Senta Hanayama (花山 泉太) comes from flowers ( hana/ka?) ;
      • Yumi Nakata (中田 由水) comes from water ( mizu/sui?) ;
      • Kazuki Tsukishima (月島 一貴) comes from moon ( tsuki/getsu?) ;
      • Additionally, Chizu Yuba (弓場 千津)'s name comes from Youtuber (ユーチューバー Yūchūbā?) and maps (地図 chizu?).
