Case
Situation
An aspiring novelist named Shokichi Hazama is carrying the items bought from the shop and talking to Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys when he notices the conversation between the apartment landlady Teruyo Imaizumi and one of his neighbors Nenji Kodakara. It turns out that Kodokara’s apartment has been stolen but Imaizumi does not let him call the police because it would affect the reputation of the apartment. They decide to call them, nonetheless.
The police unit responsible for robbery arrive and suspect Hazama for stealing Kodakara’s property. Shokichi willingly let the police collect the fingerprint to prove his innocence. Ironically, the fingerprint matches with the one that was collected from a nylon string near the scene of a murder that happened one week ago; this is why when Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys return on the next day to see if the robber is caught or not, they see Takagi and Megure instead. In addition, Takagi mentions some possibilities that drove the police into believe Hazama is the murderer, with Shokichi trying to prove his innocence:
- About the nylon string, he states that the nylon string might be his, but it was when he opened the food package he received from his grandma 10 days ago.
- Shokichi might have been one of Tarao's victims ever since the latter graduated. However, the two have never met each other once.
- There was camera footage at Dorubako Tengoku that recorded Shokichi's appearance, but the person could be his twin brother helping him to cover the crime. Shokichi states that this was outrageous because the two haven't met for a few years.
He is taken to the police for interrogation, which upsets Imaizumi and the boys since for them, he is too friendly to be the murderer.
Conan and the Detective Boys suspect these unfavourable coincidences are man-made, and begin to investigate Kodakara first, but find nothing when the four hear the call from him made by the police to inform him that the thief was caught. Conan then goes to the MPD alone to ask Takagi; and finds that no one in the Beika street was Tarao’s victim, and that there is no one with the intention to frame Shokichi at all. This implies that Shokichi’s ordeals were just accidents.
