Case

Situation

Officer Takagi comes back to the police department after an all night stakeout and gets reprimanded by Officer Sato for his poorly appearance. She then starts fixing his necktie, onyl for him to get flustered when he notices a grupo of other male policemen (save for Shiratori) giving him death glares out of jealousy.

The other policement start gossiping in the hall about how they've kissed and had lunch together, and then Shiratori arrives. As the "Sato Miwako Defense Line" group, they try yo rope Shiratori into their antics but he doesn't take the bait and walks out. One of the policemen says he's dound out that Shiratori has a girlfriend, and adds how she looks exactly like Sato - said girlfriend is Sumiko Kobayashi.

Shiratori calls Kobayashi at work and tells her to be careful at night, since there's a purse snatcher in the area. She asks him why he's so concerned and is flustered when he mistakenly thinks she's bothered. The Detective Boys, Ai and Conan are there since they're on cleaning duty, and the younger kids are happy to find out the call's from Shiratori and try to clue her in the supposed encounter she and Shiratori had in the past, but while she feels that they've met before, she can't exactly recall when or where.

Later that day, the Detective Boys and Kobayashi-sensei go to see a summer festival's fireworks display. Kobayashi-sensei gets left behind since she arrived late and the fireworks had already started, but as she's looking for the children she overhears a quarrel. Then, she walks into the alley the voices come from... then sees the figure of the culprit run away in the shadows and finds the victim, a woman who has been stabbed to death.

Murder

EP583 Case.jpg

Location: Alley
Victim: Akira Sumida
Cause of death: Stab wound
Suspects: Kikuna Kagitani, Ryoko Takimoto, and Ryusuke Kodama

In the middle of the fireworks Conan realises that Kobayashi hasn't arrived. He goes look for her and arrives to the alley, where he hears Kobayashi scream. With her hands covered in blood, Kobayashi looks at her side and sees the culprit again; then Conan arrives and he or she is gone.

The next day, the kids and Kobayashi are in the police station. Upon her arrival Kobayashi is mistaken as Sato by Yumi, and later by Chiba. Shiratori arrives and explains the situation, leaving the two dumbfounded about the physical similarities and the completely different behavior of both women.

The group is questioned as witnesses by the police, along with three suspects. All the suspects have personal motives to murder the victim, the pawn shop owner Akira Sumida: the former gang leaderess Kagitani, because Sumida callously called her late mother's ring that she pawned as a "worthless item" and claimed she had sold it when she was actually wearing it; the restaurateur Takimoto, because she was tricked by Sumida into buying a fake antique plate for half a million yens, which was revealed to be a cat's plate worth only 300 yens; the ex-baseball player and now host club member Kodama, because Sumida repeteadly and menacingly ordered him to return the money that she loaned him...

In the middle of the investigation, Kobayashi goes to the rest room with Ai and Ayumi. While waiting for the girls to be done, Kobayashi briefly sees Satou and Takagi walking by and is excited by how similar they are in looks. Before she can do anything, however, she also overhears the male policemen from the beginning saying that Shiratori was part of the "Miwako Sato Ultimate Defense Line" head and that they believe Kobayashi is a replacement for Sato. Kobayashi slumps to her knees in disappointment, much to the worry of the girls.

Shiratori has Kobayashi listen to the three culprit's voices and has determined none of them was the voice that shouted out. For worse, Chiba hasn't been able to find a truck that was close by and might have something to do. When done with the interrogation, Kobayashi says she cannot do anything else to help storms out of the police station, coldly refusing Shiratori's offers to escort her. (Chiba does so, under Shiratori's request, so she won't be attacked by the actual culprit.) Shiratori doesn't understand why is she so angry, so Ai deduces that Kobayashi must have seen Sato and heard the rumors that Shiratori is only settling for Kobayashi in place of Sato, which must have hurt her deeply. Shiratori is shocked since he's completely sure that Kobayashi is his "girl of destiny" and not Sato, and the kids try to convince him to speak up. The situation is made even more awkward when Sato and Takagi arrive to the scene... because Sato had heard about Kobayashi and wants Shiratori show her support to his "bid" to her affections.

The next day, the kids keep company to Kobayashi after class and swtich from discussing the deals with Shiratori to discuss the backgrounds and probable motivations of the culprits. They conclude that the voice Kobayashi heard may have been altered by a mask, but Conan and Ai aren't certain about it being the voice of the only culprit who wore a mask (Takimoto, who was sick); Mitsuhiko and Ayumi add that the culprit may have been a woman, thanks to the figure that Kobayashi saw, and Conan wonders if Kobayashi heard the victim talk rather than the culprit. Mitsuhiko adds that there was a truck coming from Osaka around the area, belonging to the Osaka Nikko Nikko company...

Shiratori arrives and tries to have Kobayashi listen to the recorded voices again, but when Kobayashi asks if he believes her to be a liar, he says he's the one lying since he has come to see her. He then attempts to rectify the misunderstanding by revealing to her how they met many years ago in a bookstore when confronting a pair of thieves; Kobayashi is unable to remember the event, however, and replies it must have been Sato after all, running away into the school grounds since she still has work to do. The children realise some changes in his version, and Shiratori admits that he made slight changes to reinforce his pre-existing claim; since this backfired, they tell him not to give up, and decide to help him catch the culprit so he can recover Kobayashi's favor. In the middle of this, however, Conan notices someone's lurking around the school...

Later that night, at the school, Kobayashi receives a phone call from a man. He claims that the truck was found and that he's coming to see her since he wants to show her photos of it; he adds that he's an ex-pupil of Teitan Elementary and asks Kobayashi to meet her at the music room, since he felt "nostalgic" around it. As the only teacher around the grounds, she accepts, then recalls that the person didn't tell her his name and that the music room was remodelled few ago so this person can't be "nostalgic" for it... and then a presence behind her shocks her...
