Case

Situation

Takagi is at the Mouri Detective Agency to thank him for a previous case when Detective Chiba tells him through a call that a man named Buchi wants to meet Takagi at Todoroki Park to return a favor with juicy information. However, a man named Iwabuchi Katsuya - apparently Buchi's real name - is found dead there with a note of a potential robbery that will be performed by three men wielding bear spray in Kameo Jewelry Store at 10 a.m of the next day.

Murder
EP1181 Case1.jpg
Location: Todoroki Park
Victim: Katsuya Iwabuchi - Buchi's real name?
Age: 25 years old
Cause of death: Stabbed to death
Suspects: Three men wielding bear spray - the culprits of a potential robbery
Apparently, Buchi was trying to inform Takagi about a potential robbery that would happen in Kameo Jewelry Store by three men wielding bear spray, so they become the main suspects

However, the robbery does not occur at that store, but at a Jewelry Store in Tsurui City by those three, and every single news outlet received an anonymous tip about the police being led by the nose. This could mean that the one giving an anonymous tip could probably be those three, specifically the ringleader of the crime.

The police split up to investigate as usual, Takagi, Kogoro, and Conan go to the apartment of Katsuya’s friend, Kazuo Kamegamori. He tells them that half a month ago, Katsuya was terrified as someone was looking for him, and Katsuya was falsely accused of bicycle theft a year ago, which made him hate the police. So did Takagi do something special for him that the officer was an exception to?

Robbery

Location: A Jewelry Store in Tsurui City
Stolen properties: Unknown amount
Culprits: Masayoshi Daimatsu as the ringleader, Jun Nakatake, and Miyano Koume
Every news outlet received an anonymous tip about the robbery and that the police were fooled by the note about potential robbery. One notable detail is that the robbed store if fairly easy to perform the action.

Takagi is asked to return to the station as they have led two suspicious individuals for interrogation. There, the two admit to having been hired by Masayoshi Daimatsu to perform the robbery, but not knowing about the murder. Some core information about Daimatsu is also informed:

  • He was caught in a pawn robbery reported by an anonymous tip.
  • He was released from custody half a month ago, the exact time Katsuya got terrified.
  • He injured his leg whilst trying to escape from the police, and seemed to have hatred toward Megure, who caught him.

Megure received an anonymous tip that reported him about the case, and quickly caught him before he could escape. However, the culprit broke his leg while trying to escape.

The police also found Daimatsu and confront him in a rooftop of a building, where Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and begins his deduction as The Sleeping Kogoro.
