    Case

    Situation

    When everyone is cleaning the classroom, Conan is watching a news about yesterday incident and the Detective Boys are watching news of Kamen Yaiba-themed beach events before suggesting Conan and Haibara to come along as well. While Agasa can’t join due to his back injury, Rumi volunteers to chaperone them but not with Kobayashi as she is going to have a date with Shiratori. Later, Conan decides to call Subaru to come along and keep an eye on Rumi.

    Part 1

    There, everyone is enjoying their drinks and the long-awaited curled sausages but Genta suddenly drops his onto the carpet nearby, creating a stain that cannot be wiped off easily. Rumi then asks a beach hut employee named Sakura Menda for another sausage, in which she agrees and tells Maika Kayaki to do it, but Kayaki’s swimsuit suddenly loosens, so another employee named Takaki Kooriyama has to help her tighten it. Then Menda asks him to open the jam jar but he couldn’t do it, and while reminding of the time when she broke up with him for Kayaki’s brother, the owner of the hut named Katsunori Usui steps in and explains why they have to work here. Before he leaves for lunch break, he asks them to buy extra pineapple juices.

    At noon, the boys are going to the water while Subaru and Rumi are having a conversation, raising the two’s suspicion on each other and somewhat toward Haibara, but end up enjoying the day anyways. Meanwhile, Kayaki has bought the pineapple juice as Usui requested and is now putting them in the cooler box when Menda asks her about Usui and Kooriyama since lunch break is almost over and she hasn’t seen them. And when they come to the hut where the two are having a break, Usui is found dead, which causes Menda to scream, thus catching the attention of Conan’s group.

    Murder
    EP1148-1149 Case2.jpg
    Location: Beach Hut
    Victim: Katsunori Usui
    Age: 40 years old
    Cause of death: Strangulation
    Suspects: Sakura Menda, Maika Kayaki and Takaki Kooriyama
    Apparently, Usui was killed when he was sleeping in the room, so the culprit must be the one who owns the key to the room.

    Later, Inspector Sango Yokomizo arrives at the scene along with Detective Tsukumo and other officers. Sango is also surprised when he hears Conan’s deduction about the weapon, but for the most part is why he and the others are here while Tsukumo seems to be confused as this is the first time he sees him. Later, Sango begins interrogating the suspects after taking their fingerprints and palm prints:

    • The first one to be interrogated is Kayaki, after confirming the time Usui died, she begins stating that she was buying pineapple juice at a far place following his order because for him, that place sells the best pineapple juice. She confirms that Menda was the one to find the corpse when she was waking up Kooriyama.
    • Next, Kooriyama states that he was sleeping with Usui during the lunch break after eating some snacks and drinking some juice and only opened his eyes when Kayaki woke him up.
    • And finally, Menda went to her grandma’s home but hadn’t been able to bring her the medicine because Menda forgot to bring the key and didn’t want to wake her up when she was sleeping. Then she was getting ready to open the store after lunch break when Kayaki returned and they together went to wake up Kooriyama’s group.

    Part 2

    Sango concludes that since no one can verify their alibis, any of the suspects could be the murder, with Menda countering that if either her or Kayaki is the one to strangle Usui, this would have woken up Kooriyama. Conan then asks Menda about the medicine her grandma is currently using, she answers high blood pressure medication named Nifedipine, then he asks about Kooriyama juice he drank before falling asleep, in which he replies grapefruit juice. Then Conan and Haibara state that the reason he fell asleep was because he consumed the juice along with Nifedipine put in the straw of each grapefruit juice by someone, but normal customers were fine because the juice was put in an iced plastic cup which gave them the bigger straw.

    Kooriyama also mentions that Usui felt a strange taste from the juice he consumed as well and accuses Menda for murdering Usui, with her countering that she had lost her medicine, implying that the murderer is either him or Kayaki. Meanwhile, Rumi expresses her surprise toward Haibara’s knowledge about medicine, with Conan mentioning that Professor Agasa taught her that. Tsukumo reports to Sango that the towel used to wrap around the victim was the one used in the hut seats where the Detective Boys confirm to have sat in, but suddenly, Genta’s swimsuit rips at one of the shoulders, making Ayumi associate this with ancient Roman. And speaking of ancient Roman, Conan recalls something he had watched before.

    Forensic report shows that Kooriyama is most likely the culprit because they found his fingerprints and palm prints in the edges of the towel. At first, Kooriyama denies as he would never do such a thing but Sango continues as there were also trace of Usui’s resistance between the two edges where they found the said prints, then he concludes that Kooriyama hadn’t consumed neither Nifedipine nor the grapefruit juice. But Conan points out that Sango is probably wrong because no one would sleep in the room where they just kill a person besides the fact that all straws of each grapefruit juice have been thrown away. From there, Conan and the others help point out the culprit, but why is Kooriyama making a call privately?

    People

  • Resolution

    Manga to anime changes

    • In manga, Conan tuned into several TV channels to check if there is any news that broadcast videos recorded by people using smartphone which shows the situation when the hotel was evacuated. In the anime, Conan only watches one TV channel.
    • Some dialogue was added in the anime:
    • Haibara reminding Conan that he is not a child, and he should correct his own conduct of playing with smartphone in the middle of class cleaning.
    • Rumi asking Detective Boys to finish the cleaning together after planning the trip to the beach.
    • Sakura making sure that the order is for the Yaiba Tornado Wiener.

    Trivia

    • A "towelket" refers to a towel that can be also used as a blanket. The material, usually cotton or linen, absorbs the humidity well in the summer and it is thus a substitute for a blanket.[1]
    • The van used by Okiya, Wakasa and the Detective Boys is a white, 5th generation Toyota HiAce.
    • The names of the suspects, when combining their first and last names, are related to "food you can buy at the beach"[2]:
      • Sakura Menda (免田 朔良) comes from "ramen" ;
      • Maika Kayaki (茅木 舞香) comes from "grilled squid" (いか焼き ikayaki?) ;
      • Takaki Kooriyama (郡山 貴起) comes from "shaved ice" (かき氷 kakigōri?) ;
      • Katsunori Usui (碓井 克徳) comes from "watermelon" (すいか suika?) ;
      • Reisuke Kayaki (茅木 玲輔) comes from "curry" (カレー karē?).
