Case

Situation

Ran seeks safety from Conan after hearing scary story from Sonoko.

During a sleepover at a mountain cabin, Sonoko has been telling Ran a story of Hannya, whom a woman was killed by when she got lost in the woods. The story easily scared the poor girl as she seeks safety from Conan. Conan and Sonoko decide to let Ran cook the dinner while they pick wild vegetables as a way for her to investigate the rumor.

Murder

Victim: Unnamed woman

Age: Unknown

Cause of death: Blood loss caused by stab wound

Culprit: Hannya

During their vegetable searching, Sonoko experiences something that Ran had just gone through, so she suggests they should go back to the cabin instead. On their way home, Sonoko sees someone burying something, so Conan decides to dig up the land after the man leaves. The content that was buried earlier is a corpse of an unknown woman, terrifying Sonoko as she screams loudly, alerting the man to come back. The man, wearing a mask like Hannya, decides to silence them both. Fortunately, the duo are able to cut them off and take cover in tall grasses.

Attempted murder

Victims: Conan Edogawa and Sonoko Suzuki

Age: 6-7 years old (Conan) and 17 years old (Sonoko)

Weapons: Shovel

Culprit: Hannya

Having heard Sonoko's scream, Hannya returns and sees her and Conan, so they decide to silence both of them.

Suddenly, Ema Tono appears out of nowhere when the duo are still hiding, scaring both girls in the process. Conan finds Ema’s ring does not fit her at all, and he also finds a cabin on top of a mountain, so he suggests the three heading there for refugees. Gonbei is the master of that mountain shack, and upon hearing pleas from the three, he reluctantly agrees to let them in. Minutes later, Masashi Inukai returns to the shack, and confirms to Sonoko and Conan that he was called by the police to find their whereabouts. Just as Sonoko is celebrating that Ran has called the police and they will be saved soon, Inukai reveals he dropped the communication radio by accident, meaning they should be residing at the shack until either it is morning or the police arrive.

A moment later, Conan drags Sonoko outside as he reveals to her that the murderer they encountered earlier could be any of the three people they just met. Conan explains why he perceives it that way: The colour of Inukai’s vest is too dark for others to find him if he gets lost in the wood, whereas Ema’s current outfits are just too bright to keep her from nature predators or human predators. Meanwhile, Gonbei's appearance when they met him for the first time does not resemble that of a man who stayed at home all day, while Conan also smelled blood from him.

Meanwhile, Ran and the policeman she called to find Sonoko and Conan haven’t found them yet, prompting her to depart with the policemen she is going with to speed up the progress. At the same time, in the room Conan and Sonoko are having rest, Conan wakes her up and the two begin to run. Outside the cabin, the two find a bloody axe on a chopping stump, making them believe Hannya is the murderer. Just then, Gonbei approaches them with a fierce expression and carries a shotgun. The two are scared as they run for their lives and ignore his plea to wait. Shortly after, they slip off the slope down to a cliff, as they scream in fear, which Ran is able to hear.

After Conan gives Sonoko first-aid as she got injured while saving him from the fall impact, he begins trying to throw his elasticity suspender to a tree branch, intending to use it as a pulley shaft. The efforts succeed thanks to Sonoko’s help, and as the two finally climb up the mountain, they are welcomed by Ema. She is also shocked upon learning that Gonbei is a murderer, and suggests that the three should escape together. Suddenly, Conan questions the girl about the ring, then he rummages through her handbag and finds a knife with ropes inside. Sonoko grabs Conan and runs back to the shack, wondering who is the murderer they encountered.

	24 years old Hiker

As Gonbei returns to the shack, he explains to the two that he was just worried when they decided to go out alone like that. He apologizes for his not-so-friendly appearance, and the two apologize to him because of mistaking him as Hannya. Gonbei also confesses being the one behind Hannya to only scare off people who litter in the woods. At the same time, Ema catches up with the two, which sparks Sonoko into believing her to be the murderer they encountered. Conan suddenly has a look on the handkerchief Ema has been wearing throughout the time and realizes she isn’t the murderer either. Conan explains that the knife he pulled out from her purse is the one hikers usually brought along, the ropes seen along with the knife were actually from a rope that was cut, combining that she has been wearing a handkerchief on her neck, Conan concludes she has been hiding her rope wound there, suggesting that she did attempt suicide earlier in the day. Ema confesses that the kid is saying the truth, and reveals her current statement that almost led her to end her life. Conan points out that she has been helping him and Sonoko from time to time, suggesting that she hasn’t been consumed completely from the intent to end her life.

Attempted suicide (past)

Victim: Ema Tono

Age: 24 years old

Time: Earlier time of the day

Modus operandi: Strangulation

At first, Ema wanted to end her life due to ongoing stress but she hasn't been consumed with this thought.

This conveniently means that the murderer Conan and Sonoko met at dusk is Masashi Inukai. He killed the victim due to the fact he is her affair partner and he got rid of her when she became inconvenience. Inukai pretends to plead for his crime when Conan points enough evidence to make the police believe his words, so when Gonbei stops pointing his gun at him, he will strike with his shotgun. Fortunately, Ema pushes Gonbei out and does not suffer fatal injuries from the shot, while the shot catches Ran’s attention. She follows the sound and finds Conan and Sonoko, along with the others being threatened by Inukai. The culprit changes the direction toward her instead of the four, Conan and Sonoko take the chance to block his view, not letting their friend get hurt. Ran takes the chance, and tells the two to move away so she can knock him out.

Attempted murder(s)

Victim: Conan Edogawa, Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Mouri, Ema Tono, and Gonbei

Age: 6-7 years old (Conan), 17 years old (Sonoko and Ran), 24 years old (Ema), and 61 years old (Gonbei)

Weapons: Shotgun

Culprit: Masashi Inukai

Inukai decides to silence everyone to cover his crime. Ran makes it in time before Inukai makes his second shot, so he points the shotgun at her. However, with Conan and Sonoko blocking his view, he is defeated with just one kick from Ran.
