Case

Situation

Part 1

While at the Agasa's, Conan recalls his last meeting with the Black Organization. Conan deduces that another Black Organization member must have been at the hotel party. This is when he finally singles out Chris Vineyard as his suspect. Heiji came to Tokyo to help Conan out with the case. Heiji suspects Jodie-sensei of being a possible Black Organization member, and although Conan seems reluctant to this idea, they pay Jodie-sensei a visit at her apartment. They find out here that her full name is "Jodie Saintemillion". After Jodie agrees to go out for a while with Heiji and Conan, the man living next door to Jodie falls dead outside from over 30 stories, coincidentally as the three are outside.

Suicide?
	Location: Apartment Victim: Takai Cause of death: Fell from the 21st floor Suspects: Chika Shimoda, Michiya Nakamachi, and Noboru Kawakami

After the police arrive, it seems likely that the man committed suicide. However, Conan and Heiji have a different idea.

Part 2

Heiji immediately destroys the theory of suicide, by showing that the man who fell from his apartment attempted to grab onto the curtain to save his life.

The culprit is Noboru Kawakami. Conan reveals the truth by showing how the room was switched around. When Conan and Heiji leave, concur that Jodie is someone suspicious, but believe that she is innocuous. The ending scene shows that she's already on to them in that Jodie's already knows Heiji's name and has pictures of Kudo during the time he regressed back to his former self.

Manga to anime changes

• Jodie Starling's copies of the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures. This important clue that Jodie was not Vermouth was overlooked by the anime which drew the edges evenly. The anime version also removed the word "Angel" from Ran's photo. The cursive "cool guy" on Conan's photo was accidentally written in the anime as "cool gay", probably because the animators were not used to English cursive.

Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red.

The anime version of these pictures has many mistakes.
