In Tokyo International Airport, Conan and the group are going to take a trip to Okinawa by taking a plane called 747 jet, a 70.7 meter passenger plane. Kogoro is annoyed by taking the kids along. Agasa won a trip to Okinawa and gave the tickets to Kogoro, Ran, Conan, and the Detective Boys. Unfortunately, Agasa can't come along because he has a cold and Haibara is going to take care of him. Later, the plane went up to the sky and Ayumi is telling Conan to look through the window to see a great view. But Conan is sleeping and Ran tells Ayumi to not wake him up. When Ran takes Conan's glasses off of his face, she smiled. It reminds her of the face of Shinichi sleeping. Ran falls asleep and dreams about being in the plane called Luna Airliners with Shinichi going to Los Angeles.

In Tokyo International Airport, Conan and the group are going to take a trip to Okinawa by taking a passenger plane. When Ran takes the glasses off Conan, who was sound asleep, she smiled, as it reminded her of Shinichi sleeping. Ran falls asleep as well and dreams about going to [[Wikipedia: Los Angeles|Los Angeles]] with Shinichi.
  
−
In the plane going to Los Angeles, it started when Ran is still taking a nap. Until sudden, the company employee named Tsuneo Ukai is telling the photographer named Kazuhiro Otaka to not smoke in the non smoking area. Otaka said sorry to Ukai and spits smoke at him in a rude way. Next to him is another photographer named Tsugumi Amano, also his girlfriend, and she tells him to cut it out. Otaka then tells Amano to lighten up because he will be rich by selling the negatives to the newspaper office in Los Angeles. Another photographer named Chizuru Tachikawa mentions about the negatives if they are real or not. She also mentions that the congressman from America might have come to Japan to spread rumors. It would be embarrassing if they caught a wrong person by taking a picture. Otaka tells them that he already sent two pictures and they confirmed it's the right person. After the conversation, Otaka sees Saginuma, another photographer, that he's sleeping. Of course, Otaka takes a nap too by putting a mask on to cover his eyes. Another man who's in front of Otaka is the freelance journalist, Edward Crowe and he's just looking at Otaka.

Amano called the stewardess to bring her medicine because she's kind of sick right now. Ukai just stood up and went through the plane until the stewardess asks him if there is a problem. Ukai is not comfortable sitting in a plane. Meanwhile, Amano is still getting sick and Tachikawa then switches seat with her. The stewardess arrives with the medicine and gives it to Tachikawa that she will give it to Amano to take the medicine. They notice that Otaka is missing from his seat. He must've used the restroom.

The stewardess screams and wakes up all the passengers in the plane. Another stewardess makes an announcement saying that there is sick person onboard. Suddenly, Inspector Megure from Tokyo Metropolitan Police happens to be the passenger onboard and asks the stewardess is there a sick person. Ran heard the people saying they found the dead body in the restroom. Ran is about to tell the person next to her that something horrible happens but he's gone. Inspector Megure was surprised that he met Ran. Ran asks Inspector Megure that if it's true that there's a dead body in the restroom. Megure tells Ran not to worry and he will handle the investigation. Then, the stewardess takes Megure where the dead body was found. Suddenly, a strange boy deduces that the cause of death is probably nerve damage. The weapon is pointed but has no blade, like a ice pick. But before he was killed, someone made him take something that put him to sleep. He knows the culprit is still on the plane. Inspector Megure angrily asks who he is and the strange boy reveals himself as, "Shinichi Kudo" the detective. Megure remembers Yusaku Kudo as his friend and hardly recognizes Shinichi when he was a young boy. He is happy to see him but angrily got him out of the crime scene because it is an official police investigation. Then, Megure asks the stewardess that if he could borrow the camera from someone for taking a picture of the crime scene. The stewardess said that Shinichi already took the pictures and already returned the camera to someone else. Shinichi deduces that from the appearance of the corpse, and the hardening of the chin, he has been dead for one or two hours. There are three things that Shinichi cannot understand: First, there are some bloodstains on the wall, but there are no stains on the back of victim's clothes. Second, to the right of the death causing injury, there is a scratch made by smoothing else. Third is the corpse's left side pocket. The inside is soaking wet, but the victim's hand is dry. Even if someone did put a wet hand in the pocket, it still shouldn't get that wet. Megure sees that but until sudden, he pushes Shinichi to go away and he'll handle the case. Megure asks the stewardess to go wake the police officer up next to his empty seat to help him investigate. Ran tells Shinichi to stop being so professional or else he'll get in trouble. Takagi had arrived at the crime scene and starts investigating with Megure. The cause of death is suffocation after a spinal nerve was damaged. The weapon the culprit used is something like an ice pick. From the hardness and texture of the body, he died one or two hours ago. They found the bottle and a handkerchief in the trash. It looks like the culprit probably soaked the handkerchief with chloroform from the bottle. So the victim died in his sleep. The stewardess were surprised that they made the same deduction like Shinichi. Takagi wonders of who he is and Megure explains that he's Yusaku Kudo's son. He told Takagi that in the past, whenever he gets stuck on cases, his friend Yusaku always solved for him. He remembered Shinichi as a little kid who used to follow his father to the crime scenes. He was so good at analyzing the crime scenes so quickly. Takagi became really impressed after hearing that, and wonders if they could ask for his help, but until sudden, Megure calls Takagi an idiot in a big fuss because he doesn't want any help from an amateur.

Ran heard people saying they found a dead body in the restroom. Ran is about to tell the person next to her that something horrible happened but he's gone. Inspector Megure who happened to be onboard was taken to the crime scene, suddenly, a strange boy deduces that the cause of death is probably nerve damage. The weapon is pointed but has no blade, like a ice pick. Before he was killed, someone made him take something that put him to sleep. Inspector Megure angrily asks who he is and the strange boy reveals himself as, "Kudo Shinichi". Megure remembers Yusaku Kudo who was his friend but hardly recognizes Shinichi. He is happy to see him but angrily got him out of the crime scene because it is an official police investigation.

Shinichi deduces that from the appearance of the corpse, and the hardening of the chin, he has been dead for around an hour or two. There are three things that Shinichi cannot understand. First, there are some bloodstains on the wall, but there are no stains on the back of victim's clothes. Second, to the right of the death causing injury, there is a scratch. Third is the corpse's left side pocket. The inside is soaking wet, but the victim's hand is dry. Megure makes Shinichi leave. Takagi had now arrived at the scene and starts investigating. The official verdict was the exact same as what Shinichi dedeuced. Takagi wonders of who he is and Megure explains that he is Yusaku's son. He told Takagi that in the past, whenever he gets stuck on cases, Yusaku always solved for him. He remembered Shinichi as a little kid who used to follow his father to the crime scenes. He was so good at analyzing the crime scenes. Takagi became really impressed and wonders if they could ask for his help, Megure calls Takagi an idiot because he doesn't want any help from an amateur.

Next, Megure and Takagi decided to find some eyewitnesses but of course Shinichi interrupts again that he's the only witness who saw everything. He thinks it's four suspects. The ones that went to the bathroom, besides the victim. He doesn't remember how long each one took, but he can recognize them. Since his seat is in the back, he was watching them the whole time. No one from the smoking area went toward the bathroom, so he's pretty sure of it.

Megure asks Shinichi who the four suspects are and Shinichi shows it to him. Two women next to the victim's empty seat named Tsugumi Amano and Chizuru Tachikawa. The man sitting next to the aisle is Tsuneo Ukai and the man named Edward Crowe in the front. The four people are sitting very close to each other. Tachikawa and Amano are wondering what's going on.

When they showed four people including Saginuma to the victim, Amano cries over his death. Tachikawa asks why would Otaka be murdered. Megure is about to explain but Ukai mentions that it's because of the negatives. He would sell them to the newspapers for a lot of money. But there were no negatives in Otaka's possession. Saginuma asks that he was murdered with a sharp object jabbed into his neck. Megure confirms that is correct which means this culprit was professional. Saginuma, Otaka, Amano, and Tachikawa are just photographer friends who are on vacation. He thinks Megure have the wrong suspects but actually they are confirmed to be suspects by Shinichi. Someone with enough medical and drug knowledge, as well as the right weapon, anyone of them including Saginuma could have done it.

The four suspect are, the two women next to the victim's empty seat, Tsugumi Amano and Chizuru Tachikawa. The man sitting next to the aisle, Tsuneo Ukai and the man named Edward Crowe in the front.

Megure now asks each five people exactly what happened when they went to the restroom. Amano said that she wasn't feeling well, so she went to the restroom to throw up. When she came back, Otaka was still in his seat. After that, she asked the flight attendant for air sickness medicine. The flight attendant can vouch for her. She remembered what happened very clearly. Megure asks the flight attendant is it true and the flight attendant said yes that she remembered Otaka was sleeping very soundly at that time. Ukai saw them too, from across the aisle. Ukai said that Amano looked like that she was asking the flight attendant for medication. The flight attendant gave her some. Shortly after, he left to go the restroom. It took about five minutes. Megure said that Ukai should have been sitting next to the victim, with the aisle between Ukai. Ukai said he was uncomfortable, so he walked around for a bit. When the flight attendant came back with the medicine and water, Otaka already left his seat. It took less than a minute. Tachikawa went to the bathroom too, a whole after Tsugumi had taken the medicine. It had been about twenty minutes. Since Otaka hadn't come back yet, she went to check on him. At that time, he was still alive. She knocked and asked, "Is anything wrong?" Suddenly, Otaka answered back by knocking. Tachikawa is sure of it because she had already tried the three other restrooms. Nobody was in any of them. Next for Edward, Shinichi asks him in English saying when did he go the toilet. Edward said he doesn't remember when he did, unfortunately. Until sudden, Shinichi coughs because Edward has a very strong cologne. Suddenly, Saginuma wonders how long is the police going to keep up with the pointless questioning. The one who has the weapon is the culprit so he thinks the police search the other four because he said as for him, he was asleep the entire time so he never left his seat. Until sudden, Ukai calls Saginuma a liar because he knows that he left his seat that's behind Otaka's. Saginuma got confused and Megure asks what is he saying. Ukai said that Otaka was in his seat before he left the restroom. At that time, Saginuma wasn't in his seat. Saginuma asks Ukai that what is he talking about because he was so sure that he was asleep the entire time. He also said that the other four had gone to the restroom and points at Shinichi that he saw it too. Since all five of them are suspects, the police are going to do a body search in the restrooms. Also they must inspect their luggages to find the murder weapon.

Tachikawa wonders why would he would be murdered. Megure is about to explain but Ukai mentions that it's because of the negatives. He would sell them to the newspapers for a lot of money. But there were no negatives in Otaka's possession. Saginuma asks if that he was murdered with a sharp object jabbed into his neck. Megure confirms that is correct which means this culprit was professional. But anyone with enough medical knowledge, as well as the right weapon, all of them including Saginuma could have done it.
  
−
Later, the police couldn't find a murder weapon by searching the five people's bodies and luggages. No one had anything like an ice pick and what's more, the suspicious areas of the plane were all searched too. There was nothing to be find. Shinichi thinks this is very interesting. Since the weapon can't be found on the plane, it must be because the culprit hid it well. That must be the culprit's final trump card. Shinichi knows that he can find the card right in the culprit's hand before the plane lands.

Amano said that she wasn't feeling well, so she went to the restroom to throw up. When she came back, Otaka was still in his seat. After that, she asked the flight attendant for air sickness medication. Shortly after, Ukai left to go the restroom, which took about five minutes. Megure said that he should have been sitting next to the victim, with the aisle in between. Ukai said he was uncomfortable, so he walked around for a bit. When the flight attendant came back with the medicine and water, Otaka already left his seat. It took less than a minute. Tachikawa went to the bathroom too, after Tsugumi had taken the medicine. It had been about twenty minutes. Since Otaka hadn't come back yet, she went to check on him. At that time, he was still alive. She knocked and asked, "Is anything wrong?" He answered back by knocking. Next for Edward, Shinichi asks him when did he go to the toilet. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember when he did.

Ukai said that Otaka was in his seat before he left the restroom. At that time, Saginuma wasn't in his seat. Saginuma asks Ukai that what is he talking about because he was so sure that he was asleep the entire time. He also said that the other four had gone to the restroom and points at Shinichi that he saw it too. Since all five of them are suspects, the police are going to conduct a body search and inspect their luggages.

Shinichi tells Megure to do a search again. Since the weapon cannot be found on the plane, it must still be on the culprit, so they start searching again. First is Tachikawa's baggage. There's passport, wallet, handkerchief, make-up, tissues, tickets, sunglasses, camera, a notebook, and a pen. No weapon but Shinichi asks about the ball point pen that did they take it apart. Takagi did took apart of the ball point pen. Now for Amano, she has passport, wallet, towel, a wool cap, make-up, a camera, handkerchief, a sewing set, and some motion sickness medicine as well. The only things that can be considered a weapon are the scissors and needles inside the sewing set. Neither of those would do the job. Next for Ukai, he has passport, tickets, wallet, handkerchief, electric razor, towel, and a shaving cream. Now for Edward, they were about to check his briefcase. Shinichi notice that there's a strong cologne near his neck, but not on his wrist. In Edward's briefcase, it has passport, wallet, handkerchief, tickets, towel, newspaper, two novels, glasses, a sewing set, an American Express bank card, and a checkbook. Megure is about to ask Edward about the checkbook but he can't speak English fluently. Shinichi asks him instead. Edward said he was about to buy some art objects at the auction in Japan but nothing caught his eyes. Last one is Saginuma, he has passport, wallet, handkerchief, camera, negatives, a wristwatch, cigarettes, a lighter, tickets, and motion sickness medicine. He has lots of medicine because he never fail to get sick. When Shinichi checks the negatives, he sees the pictures of American Congressman, Representative Dickson. Tachikawa mentions that those are the same pictures that Otaka took. Saginuma suddenly said those are his negatives not Otaka's. He took the pictures with Otaka at the hotel. Otaka's picture is so much better than his but he wanted to see if the newspaper office would buy all of the photographs at once, including his. After checking their belongings, the police are now going to do a body search in the restroom. The police will search the men and the stewardess will search the women. Shinichi checks out the area where Otaka sits. Judging from the seating arrangement, Saginuma was in the seat behind him. Edward was in front. To Otaka's side was Amano and Tachikawa was by the window. Then, Ukai was to the left. Suddenly, Shinichi found the negative fragment next to Otaka's empty seat. Ran came to Shinichi and told him that the body search is over but the police still can't find the murder weapon. All five people had enough of this and got angry about it. Megure and Takagi already checked everything but except one thing they are going to check. They are going to check Otaka's luggage.
+
Later, the police couldn't find a murder weapon even by searching the five people's bodies and luggages. They decided to search the victim's belongings as nothing suspicious was found on the suspects.

Takagi opens the overhead bin door and asks Amano which luggage is Otaka's. Amano points to the bag so she reaches to get it with her right arm but stops. Amano remembers that Otaka said something strange. About a week ago, he left his bag in the photo studio. The next day, he found the bag had been cut up with a knife. So it's the new bag that Otaka brought currently and Amano reaches to get it with her left arm. In Otaka's bag, there's passport, camera, film case, sunglasses, three packs of cigarettes, wallet, towel, extra film, two magazines, wristwatch, and tickets. Nothing similar to the murder weapon. Takagi checks out Otaka's passport which it says he's from Japan, his date of birth: November 3, 1969, he's male, and Takagi remembers that three years ago, Kazuhiro Otaka won the newspaper's big journalistic photography contest. The picture he won was about the mother handing her baby to the fireman during a big apartment fire.

After seeing his passport, Takagi remembers that three years ago, Kazuhiro Otaka won the newspaper's big journalistic photography contest. The picture he won was about the mother handing her baby to the fireman during a big apartment fire.

Shinichi wonders what's wrong with this case. The weapon is missing and everyone saw different things. No one's alibi can be verified. Meanwhile, Ukai is still accusing Saginuma that he's the culprit. He knows that Saginuma is lying about sleeping the whole time. He saw it when Amano was taking medication, Saginuma wasn't in his seat. He points to the stewardess who also saw it. The stewardess confirms it because when she saw Ukai walking around the plane, she went to stop him. So she started talking to Ukai. Then he asked the stewardess to watch Otaka, so she could stop Otaka if he started smoking in the non-smoking area. Megure asks where was Saginuma at that time. The stewardess doesn't think he was in his seat until sudden, Saginuma just went to the stewardess by grabbing her shoulders and asks what is she talking about because he knows he was in his seat. Megure asks the other stewardess that she brought the medicine to Amano and she confirms it. Saginuma asks her that he was asleep in his seat but unfortunately, she can't remember. When Shinichi asks something to the stewardess by whispering, she said yes. Shinichi had finally figured out who the culprit is. If he's right, then everyone's confessions, the negative on the seat, the blood in the bathroom, and Otaka's wet pocket all fits together. But he still couldn't find the weapon. It wasn't found in the people's luggage. Shinichi asks Ran that she's a high school student and obviously she is. He then asks Ran something that's inappropriate by whispering and then Ran said yes that's how the thing are made that way. Shinichi finally found the trump card that the culprit used to killed the victim.

<spoiler>Shinichi begins his deduction by singling out the culprit among the suspects.
−
Meanwhile, Megure suspects the most suspicious person is Saginuma. Shinichi tells Megure that's incorrect because he knows that Saginuma is not the culprit. He once said before, the four people instead of Saginuma went to the restroom. Since Saginuma didn't go, his chance to commit the crime was zero. Saginuma thanks Shinichi that he's proven innocent and he knows that he has nothing to do with the case. Shinichi said no but he is involved in the case because he was used by the culprit. By the one who, out of these four people, is lying about what happened. Takagi mentions that Tachikawa said that Otaka knocked back when she went to check on him. She might have said that to set up Amano, so Takagi thinks Tachikawa is the one who's lying. Shinichi said it's wrong that Tachikawa didn't lie. Because at the time, there really was someone in the bathroom. Someone was with the dead body. It is revealed to be '''Edward Crowe'''. He was searching for the negatives, and put his hands into Otaka's pocket. Then, he remembered his cologne. He left the smell of the cologne in Otaka's pocket. So he quickly washed his hands. Then he tried to get rid of the smell by using his own handkerchief. The evidence is that his hands do not smell of the cologne. Megure asks how can that be counted as evidence. By talking to Edward, Shinichi has to speak English but Shinichi knows that Edward can speak Japanese. It is revealed that he can speak Japanese and it made everyone surprised. Of course he does because his checkbook was going to be used to make a deal for Otaka's negatives. Edward reveals that he was asked to buy the negatives by Representative Dickson. Saginuma angrily accuses him as the culprit but actually he's not the culprit of murdering Otaka because when he went to the restroom, Otaka was already dead. Edward confirms it and he heard that he had gone to the restroom, so he thought it was a good time to try to make the deal. But when he knocked on the door, he didn't answer. So Edward just went in, but he was already dead. He knew it was wrong, but he needed money, so he searched the body for the negatives. He was the one who answered Tachikawa's knock. There were bloodstains on the wall of the bathroom, but no blood on the shirt of the victim. If the culprit had wanted to move the victim, there was no need to wait for the blood to dry. This means that someone moved the corpse afterwards, but didn't tell anyone that he had found it. The reason that person moved the corpse, should be because they were looking for the negatives. When he couldn't find it anywhere else on the body, he tried the pocket. The only person who would do this to someone who hadn't seen where the victim hid the negatives. The only one who couldn't have seen was Edward. The two suspects left are Ukai and Amano. The important point is when Amano asked the flight attendant for medicine, the seat behind the victim was empty. Saginuma was not in his seat. Saginuma was indeed sleeping in his own seat and someone put a wool cap on him and the eye mask too. Someone dressed Saginuma as Otaka sleeping. After the culprit killed Otaka, she didn't return to her own seat. Instead, she sat by Saginuma. After dressing Saginuma as Otaka, she then asked the flight attendant for medicine. Only to make everyone think that Otaka was still alive. The culprit who murdered Otaka and used Saginuma to clear herself is '''Tsugumi Amano''', Otaka's girlfriend. Well, can't blame the flight attendant for her mistake. It was very dark inside the plane and only a bit above Saginuma's nose was showing. Then, while the flight attendant was getting her the medicine, Amano moved back to her own seat. Finally, she acted like she was going to throw up and woke Tachikawa. This gave the impression that Otaka wasn't in his seat. Thus making the flight attendant and Tachikawa confused about exactly when he really went to the restroom. The empty seat that Ukai saw was the empty seat behind Saginuma. Megure suddenly says that if the seat beside Saginuma hadn't been empty, the plan would have failed. Shinichi says it could work. All she had to do is buy an extra plane ticket and if the medicine Saginuma took from her was sleeping pills, it'd be hard to wake up. She had a wool cap in her personal luggage and she knows that Otaka has a habit of wearing an eye mask when he sleeps. Takagi asks that what if the flight attendant had realized that Tachikawa wasn't sitting next to her. Shinichi answers that she could have put her luggage on the seat, and covered it up with the blanket. Now the negatives, with the small scissors she had in her sewing kit, she cut them up and flushed them away. This made everyone think that the motive was the negatives, and drew attention away from herself. But at the time, some pieces of the negatives had stick to her clothes. The negatives that fell off her clothes are still by Saginuma's seat. In other words, her plan was this: after she was sure that Tachikawa was asleep, she told Otaka that she wanted to talk to him in the bathroom. She prepared the chloroform-soaked handkerchief, and waited for him there. She used the handkerchief as he came in, and closed the door as he fell asleep. Then she pulled out the weapon and killed him. Afterward, she took out the sewing kit, cut the negatives, and flush them. Then she locked the bathroom door from the outside. The next phase was the method Shinichi explained a moment ago. This way she had an alibi, and made Saginuma to look like Otaka was still alive. Therefore, she would be found innocent. Megure says that's risky, if someone had seen her coming out. Shinichi says that she could have left the door unlocked. That way no one would be waiting when she came out. As for someone walking in, if someone had tried to come in, it would have only have cracked open. The room is too small for the door to open if someone is inside. The person wouldn't have been able to see anything, but would still realize that someone was already in the bathroom. They're probably just try a different stall. Shinichi has the weapon and the proof. They are still on the culprit's body. Of course the people have been checked twice but this weapon is that hard to spot. It can also make it past the metal detector. It's something only women have. It is the wire in the right side of Amano's bra. If she sharpened one end of the wire, and stabbed it into the back of the victim's neck using her weight. She could put it in five or six centimeters. Deep enough to hit a spinal nerve. Even a woman could accomplish this. Other than a puncture wound, the scratch beside it is the best proof. It was caused by the other end of the wire. Amano didn't get rid of her weapon, because she was afraid the police would find it and might trace it back to her. Amano confesses to her crime and reveals that three years ago, Otaka won the prize for journalistic photography because of the picture of mother handing the baby to the fireman. She began liking Otaka because of that picture, he captured so well. The tragedy of the fire that killed her older brother. The same fire as the one in that picture. The famous photo of the fire, it wasn't the only one. He took so many pictures of the fire, some were even taken before the fire started. Picture of when the fire was small, and was just a little smoke. More than she could count. Otaka was the one who set the fire. When she asked about it, Otaka said, "Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, I created it myself." Amano thought she was so confident that she hid the weapon well. Shinichi thinks it's obvious. When she started taking down the luggage, she used her right hand but stopped short. Later she used her left. Therefore, he concluded that it was because the wire had started poking into her arm. It hurts too much, so he had to swap hands to take down the bag. The mistakes a person makes when in a hurry can be very important clues. The careless mistake that Amano made caused Shinichi to realize that her moment was very strange. Amano is now arrested for murder.
+
 
 +
* First, although Megure claims that the most suspicious person is Saginuma, he is the least likely person to commit the crime as he was not among the people that went to the restroom. However, he is not entirely uninvolved with the case, as he was unknowingly '''used by''' the culprit, who is among the four people and told a lie to cover up their crime.
 +
 
 +
* Next, even though Tachikawa claims that the victim knocked on the restroom's door back when she went to check sounds not so believable, but the truth is that there was a person inside the restroom other than the victim: '''Edward Crowe''', who was searching for Otaka's negatives, causing his colonge's smell to get on the victim's clothes. Realizing this, he used his handkerchief dabbed with water to wipe the smell away, resulting in one of his hands not having the colonge's smell. Though Megure thinks that Edward doesn't understand what they're speaking, Shinichi reveals that Edward is actually fluent in Japanese due to having checkbook to buy art in Japan. With this revealed, Edward confessed that he was hired to buy the negatives by Representative Dickson before it could reach America. When Otaka went to the restroom, Edward thought it was a good time to make a deal with him and followed shortly later, but instead found the murdered Otaka. Not wanting to leave empty handed, he searched Otaka's body for the negatives, but didn't find it. When Tachikawa knocked on the restroom's door, he replied by knocking it back to prevent her from coming in. His statement is verified by Shinichi, as Otaka's body was moved from the original position after the blood on the wall'''had dried''': only the person who came in after the murderer was capable of such action as the murderer didn't need to wait until the blood dried if they wanted to move the body. Additionally, Edward was the only person among the suspects who didn't know that Otaka kept the the negatives in his pocket due to his seating position, thus it was necessary for him to search in every possible location, hence the need to move the body. Due to this, the murder must happened '''before''' Edward went to the restroom, thus Shinichi removes both Tachikawa and Edward from the suspect list, leaving Ukai and Amano.
 +
 
 +
* From Ukai's statement, when Amano asked the flight attendant for medicine, Saginuma was not in his seat. However, Saginuma was '''indeed''' in his seat sleeping and being '''used by''' the culprit '''Tsugumi Amano'''.
 +
 
 +
Shinichi then explains Amano's method in committing the murder.
 +
 
 +
* Before the trip, Amano reserved a seat behind Saginuma in advance for her alibi trick and canceled it shortly before the plane took off.
 +
 
 +
* While on the plane, Amano switched Tachikawa's sickness medicine with sleeping pills and gave it to Saginuma, causing him to fall asleep.
 +
 
 +
* She then waited until Tachikawa was asleep as well, and asked Otaka to go to the restroom because she needs to talk with him. She then brought a handkerchief soaked with chloroform and the murder weapon to the restroom, knocked out Otaka and stabbed him to death. Afterward, she hid the weapon and used scissors from her knitting set to cut the negatives in Otaka's possession to pieces and flushed them down the toilet in order to disguise the crime as Otaka being robbed for the negatives, in order to remove any suspicion from herself. Amano also didn't lock the door during the murder to see if there was a passenger waiting outside when she left the crime scene, and if someone tried to get in she would just use her hand to block them from coming in so that they would have to use another restroom instead.
 +
 
 +
* After leaving the crime scene, Amano went to sit next to the sleeping Saginuma, using a hat similar to the one worn by Otaka in her possession, a sleeping eye mask, and a blanket to disguise Saginuma as Otaka, and called one of the air hostesses for a sickness medicine in order for the hostess to confirm that Otoka was still alive after she returned from the toilet. She could’ve also used her luggage and another blacket to disguise the seat next to her as the sleeping Tachikawa to further this deception. The empty seat behind Saginuma was to prevent anyone from noticing that she wasn't sitting in her original seat, and to cast suspicion that Saginuma had left his seat at some point. Because the entire plane was dark, the hostess easily fell for Amano's trick, and while the hostess was fetching the medicine, Amano removed the disguise, returned to her own seat, and pretended to cough to wake up Tachikawa. Once the hostess came back with the medicine, Amano pretended to notice that Otaka hasn't returned from the restroom so that Tachikawa would go to check it out. All of her actions were to shift the exact time that Otaka went to the restroom, and with the hostess and Ukai as a witness, Amano would be removed from the suspect list as she was still in her seat during the time the murder supposedly took place. A piece of the cut negatives was found on a seat next to Saginuma's, confirming this theory.
 +
 
 +
* The murder weapon is something that can easily be passed through a metal detector at the airport and wouldn't be noticed even if she had undergone body check twice: her '''bra wire''' that was specifically sharpened on one end for the murder. By using all her strength, she could easily stab the back of Otaka's neck up to five or six centimeters and would be deep enough to hit a spinal nerve. The scratch besides the wound is concrete proof that it was used in the crime, and since it was impossible to get rid of the weapon without the police realizing that the woman who is missing a wire in her bra is the culprit, Amano must still have that specific wire in her possession, and Otaka's blood on it will prove beyond all doubts that she is the murderer.

Amano confesses to her crime and reveals that three years ago, Otaka won a journalistic photography award because of a picture of a mother inside a burning building handing her baby to a fireman. She began to like Otaka because of said picture that captured its emotion so well, as it was also the same fire that killed her older brother.
 +
 
 +
After dating him, Amano discovered that the photo in fact wasn't the only one that he had taken: Otaka had taken dozens of pictures of the fire, many of them were even before the fire had started, from a small cloud of smoke until the entire building had become enveloped in flames, she then realized that he was the one who started it in the first place. Her suspicions were soon confirmed when Otaka revealed "Instead of waiting for the perfect moment, he created the moment himself".

In the end, Ran is still dreaming talking to Shinichi about bra is sexual harassment. Kogoro is asking Ran what did Shinichi do to her in a big fuss. Suddenly the stewardess is telling Kogoro to get back in his seat. Ran woke up after that.
+
Amano also expresses disappointment that Shinichi easily discovered her weapon, as she was very confident in her plan. Shinichi answers that it was because of her unnatural action of switching her hand from right to left midway while trying to take down the luggage. This seemingly unimportant action caused him to realize that the wire had started to poke into her arm, requiring her to switch her hand, and thus allowed him to come to conclusion that she is the murderer. Satisfied with Shinichi's explaination, Amano silently nods as Takagi places her under arrest.

Cast

Case

Situation

In Tokyo International Airport, Conan and the group are going to take a trip to Okinawa by taking a passenger plane. When Ran takes the glasses off Conan, who was sound asleep, she smiled, as it reminded her of Shinichi sleeping. Ran falls asleep as well and dreams about going to Los Angeles with Shinichi.

On the way to Los Angeles, a company employee named Tsuneo Ukai is telling the photographer named Kazuhiro Otaka to not smoke. Otaka said sorry to Ukai and spits smoke at him. Next to him is another photographer named Tsugumi Amano, also his girlfriend, tells him to cut it out. Otaka then tells Amano to lighten up because he will be rich by selling the negatives to the newspaper office. Another photographer named Chizuru Tachikawa questions if the negatives are real or not. She also mentions that the congressman from America might have come to Japan to spread rumors. It would be embarrassing if they caught a wrong person by taking a picture. Otaka tells them that he already sent two pictures and they confirmed it's the right person. After the conversation, Otaka sees Saginuma, another photographer, sleeping. Another man who's in front of Otaka is the freelance journalist, Edward Crowe and he's just looking at Otaka.

Amano asked the stewardess to bring her medicine because she felt sick. Ukai stood up and walked around as he isn't comfortable sitting in a plane. Meanwhile, Amano is still feeling sicker and Tachikawa then switches seat with her. They notice that Otaka is missing from his seat.

Later, a drunk passenger is knocking on the restroom door for telling the person who's using the restroom to hurry up. The stewardess unlocks the door and finds the dead body of Kazuhiro Otaka.

Murder

EP162 Case.jpg

Location: Luna Airliners restroom
Victim: Kazuhiro Otaka
Age: 29 years old
Cause of death: Suffocation due to cervical spinal cord injury
Suspects: Tsuneo Ukai, Tsugumi Amano, Chizuru Tachikawa, Noboru Saginuma, and Edward Crowe
Photographer Kazuhiro Otaka was found dead in the plane's lavatory with an unusual scratch on his neck and a puncture wound just below his hairline.

Ran heard people saying they found a dead body in the restroom. Ran is about to tell the person next to her that something horrible happened but he's gone. Inspector Megure who happened to be onboard was taken to the crime scene, suddenly, a strange boy deduces that the cause of death is probably nerve damage. The weapon is pointed but has no blade, like a ice pick. Before he was killed, someone made him take something that put him to sleep. Inspector Megure angrily asks who he is and the strange boy reveals himself as, "Kudo Shinichi". Megure remembers Yusaku Kudo who was his friend but hardly recognizes Shinichi. He is happy to see him but angrily got him out of the crime scene because it is an official police investigation. Then, Megure asks the stewardess that if he could borrow the camera from someone to take a picture. The stewardess said that Shinichi already took the pictures and already returned the camera. Shinichi deduces that from the appearance of the corpse, and the hardening of the chin, he has been dead for around an hour or two. There are three things that Shinichi cannot understand. First, there are some bloodstains on the wall, but there are no stains on the back of victim's clothes. Second, to the right of the death causing injury, there is a scratch. Third is the corpse's left side pocket. The inside is soaking wet, but the victim's hand is dry. Megure makes Shinichi leave. Takagi had now arrived at the scene and starts investigating. The official verdict was the exact same as what Shinichi dedeuced. Takagi wonders of who he is and Megure explains that he is Yusaku's son. He told Takagi that in the past, whenever he gets stuck on cases, Yusaku always solved for him. He remembered Shinichi as a little kid who used to follow his father to the crime scenes. He was so good at analyzing the crime scenes. Takagi became really impressed and wonders if they could ask for his help, Megure calls Takagi an idiot because he doesn't want any help from an amateur.

Next, Megure and Takagi decided to find some eyewitnesses but of course Shinichi interrupts again that he's the only witness who saw everything. He thinks it's four suspects. The ones that went to the bathroom, besides the victim. He doesn't remember how long each one took, but he can recognize them. Since his seat is in the back, he was watching them the whole time.

The four suspect are, the two women next to the victim's empty seat, Tsugumi Amano and Chizuru Tachikawa. The man sitting next to the aisle, Tsuneo Ukai and the man named Edward Crowe in the front.

Tachikawa wonders why would he would be murdered. Megure is about to explain but Ukai mentions that it's because of the negatives. He would sell them to the newspapers for a lot of money. But there were no negatives in Otaka's possession. Saginuma asks if that he was murdered with a sharp object jabbed into his neck. Megure confirms that is correct which means this culprit was professional. But anyone with enough medical knowledge, as well as the right weapon, all of them including Saginuma could have done it.

Amano said that she wasn't feeling well, so she went to the restroom to throw up. When she came back, Otaka was still in his seat. After that, she asked the flight attendant for air sickness medication. Shortly after, Ukai left to go the restroom, which took about five minutes. Megure said that he should have been sitting next to the victim, with the aisle in between. Ukai said he was uncomfortable, so he walked around for a bit. When the flight attendant came back with the medicine and water, Otaka already left his seat. It took less than a minute. Tachikawa went to the bathroom too, after Tsugumi had taken the medicine. It had been about twenty minutes. Since Otaka hadn't come back yet, she went to check on him. At that time, he was still alive. She knocked and asked, "Is anything wrong?" He answered back by knocking. Next for Edward, Shinichi asks him when did he go to the toilet. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember when he did. Saginuma wonders how long is the police going to keep up with the pointless questioning. The one who has the weapon is the culprit so he thinks the police should search the other four because he said as for him, he was asleep the entire time. Ukai calls Saginuma a liar because he knows that he left his seat that's behind Otaka's. Saginuma got confused and Megure asks what is he saying. Ukai said that Otaka was in his seat before he left the restroom. At that time, Saginuma wasn't in his seat. Saginuma asks Ukai that what is he talking about because he was so sure that he was asleep the entire time. He also said that the other four had gone to the restroom and points at Shinichi that he saw it too. Since all five of them are suspects, the police are going to conduct a body search and inspect their luggages.

Later, the police couldn't find a murder weapon even by searching the five people's bodies and luggages. They decided to search the victim's belongings as nothing suspicious was found on the suspects.

Takagi opens the overhead bin door and asks Amano which luggage is Otaka's. Amano points to the bag so she reaches to get it with her right arm but suddenly stops. Amano remembers that Otaka said something strange. About a week ago, he left his bag in the photo studio. The next day, he found the bag had been cut up with a knife. So it's the new bag that Otaka brought currently and Amano reaches to get it with her left arm. In Otaka's bag, there's nothing that could be the murder weapon. After seeing his passport, Takagi remembers that three years ago, Kazuhiro Otaka won the newspaper's big journalistic photography contest. The picture he won was about the mother handing her baby to the fireman during a big apartment fire.

Meanwhile, Ukai is still accusing Saginuma that he's the culprit. He knows that Saginuma is lying about sleeping the whole time. He saw it when Amano was taking medication, Saginuma wasn't in his seat. Megure asks where was Saginuma at that time. The stewardess doesn't think he was in his seat. Saginuma asks the other flight attendant if he was asleep in his seat but unfortunately, she can't remember. When Shinichi asks something to the stewardess by whispering, she said yes. Shinichi had finally figured out who the culprit is. He then asks Ran something that's inappropriate and Ran confirms his suspicions. Shinichi finally found the weapon that the culprit used to killed the victim.
