Famous Potter Murder Case
File 161 - The Unmoving Evidence
Inspector Megure examines the crime scene and notices the cut on the victim's foot and the numerous shards of glass on the floor. Kikuemon believes his daughter-in-law committed suicide because her artwork was broken. Conan remarks to Kogoro and Megure that Masuko's feet are clean, even though she was barefoot, suggesting she was carried there. However, the potter and his students were in the living room at the time of the incident. The police find Masuko's cell phone, which she always used as an alarm clock, under her pillow in her room.
In the living room, Conan reflects on the suitcase and marble slab he found the previous day. As he drops them, he notices lipstick marks on a seat, runs back to the garden shed, and discovers irregular blood spatter on the floor and more on the shelf. He climbs up and finds a glass with holes in it. Conan now knows who the murderer is.
File 162 - Killed by a Sound!?
Conan knocks Kogoro unconscious with his watch and shows Inspector Megure the irregular blood spatter, which must have resulted from a fall. Masuko was lying on the shelf with a noose around her neck and fell when she awoke, injuring her foot on a nail.

Hospitalized Robber Case
File 166 - What Should We Do!?
Conan and the Detective Boys visit Kogoro in the hospital, where he is being treated for a broken leg sustained from a fall down the stairs. His roommate receives a visit from his son, Yoshio, who acts suspiciously when asked about a little girl named Yumiko. When the conversation turns to a bank robbery at the branch where Yoshio works, he panics and flees the room. Shortly thereafter, he appears visibly unsettled when police officers question him about another of his father’s roommates—a surly man whose body is covered in burn scars. In the stairwell, Yoshio encounters a burly man who, along with an accomplice, has kidnapped his daughter. The man demands that Yoshio carry out a task and hands him a box. Just as Yoshio attempts to ask Inspector Megure for help, a second accomplice — disguised as a police officer — intervenes and stops him.
Realizing that something is wrong, Conan discreetly makes contact with Yoshio. With time running out and the Detective Boys yet to reach the roof of the building across the street — where Yumiko is being held captive — Conan initiates a diversion. Using a soccer ball and his special power-enhancing shoes, he incapacitates two of the kidnappers. Another accomplice manages to warn the woman guarding Yumiko on the roof before losing consciousness himself. Conan then uses his voice-changing bowtie to trick the female kidnapper into looking down — at which point he takes her out as well.
