    Remastered version

    On October 27, 2008, a remastered version of the case was aired. All three episodes were edited and combined into one hour long special, and scenes were edited out to fit the timeslot. However, exclusive to the remastering new scenes were added to this version. In the beginning, Ran is watching television and sees a reporter talking about New York City, which brings her back to remembering the case from back then. Conan is, for some reason, holding apples, and drops them on the floor. One of those apples turns into a golden apple, and we see a picture of both Conan and Shinichi. See the images below. Credit for the following screenshots goes to Jd- of DCTP.
