Case

Part 1

While wandering along a street with their friends, Conan and Ai discuss their recent encounter with Superintendent Kuroda and the possibility that he may - or may not - be Rum of the Black Organization, and whether he has found out about Ai's secret identity. Ai takes out her cell phone to check a message from Professor Agasa, indicating that nothing is amiss... but then she suddenly freezes, aghast. Fearing the worst, Conan checks her phone, but the display merely shows a picture showing Ai's idol Ryusuke Higo on a secret shopping tour with Yoko Okino by his side, accompanied by a tabloid newflash alleging a romance between those two celebrities!

Returning back to the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan is not surprised to find Kogoro himself crestfallen over Yoko's ostensible romance with Higo. When Ran suggests that he investigate the veracity of this rumor, Kogoro vehemently declines, but swiftly changes his mind when a grim Ai shows up at the agency to "officially" consign him to snoop on the couple.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Megure reviews all of the suspects movements before the murder. Kogoro continues to try to blame Higo so Conan tranquilizes him and reveals that the culprit is Akimichi Yamada. He killed Asuka during the second search when he went down to the storage room, then used Higo's and Asuka's phones for the trick, as well as a vacuum, a vacuum compression bag, Asuka's clothes, and the corkscrew from his sommelier's knife. Ai finds a discarded phone and bag to provide the evidence. Yamada killed Asuka because Asuka had discovered that he was a fraud who wanted to expand the business with the extra money he'd accrued by buying cheap wine that he presented as expensive.

Higo and Yoko are not dating each other—the watch they were looking at on the cover of the tabloid article was a mutual gift for a retiring high school teacher of theirs, and they were meeting with Asuka to ask him to write a message on the watch.

Ai is thanked by Higo for finding the evidence, and says he's tempted to have her take Takahiro Sanada's place on Big Osaka. The next day, Ai seems determined to prove herself a soccer player, and is enjoying Yoko's music again.
