Plot overview
Teacher Assault Case (Manga: 891-893, Anime: 779-780)
After having invited her friend Jodie to a meeting together, Natsuko finishes her correcting and closes the school since she's the last teacher working that day. On the road home, Shibuya walks through Haido Park and gets pushed by a mysterious figure who runs away. She falls down a staircase and is seen by Bourbon and Vermouth who had planned to do the same thing so they could disguise as Jodie and see if Akai was really dead by watching the FBI members' reactions. They called the police before leaving incognito.
Bourbon is acquainted with Natsuko for she was his client when she employed him to investigate on her stalker. He accepted her offer because she was a potential person who could help him fill in his last interrogation. The stalker is Yoshiharu Sugamoto, an Haido Elementary School's physical education teacher who falls in love with Natsuko's beauty. While he doesn't want to tell her in fear of being laughed at, he tries to get near her by stalking her at night and watching her. He didn't consider himself a stalker, just someone in love. It is foreshadow-able that Natsuko didn't reciprocate her feelings towards him.
Akiyo Ueno and Fumiyuki Kandachi were two of numerous parents who didn't understand Shibuya's correcting method which was proper to occidental countries which made them think Shibuya was correcting them wrong. Kandachi took it so seriously he pushed her down the staircase thinking she added nonexistent mistakes while it was just a misunderstanding. Luckily, she survives the fall and is able to continue teaching.
UFO Sighting Murder Case (Manga: 942-944, Anime: 847-848)
Conan remembers the case where Shibuya was assaulted in the same park another murder occurred involving someone who believes in UFOs.
