He incessantly vigiled it so no one would find it, but there was something he didn't know. Sanae had a small flower seed bag in her pocket, a gift from one of her friends; the seeds grew and the flowers blossomed, signaling the place where she was "buried".

Situation

Part 1

Conan and the Detective Boys are playing baseball at the construction site. When Mitsuhiko throws the ball, Genta hits it so hard that it went away to someone's yard. When they go there, they rang the door bell, and the mysterious man named Yoshikazu Watanuki appears to them. Conan asks if he could have the ball back from Watanuki's yard. Watanuki refuses and won't give the ball back. He then tells Conan and the Detective Boys to go away. The Detective Boys think that he's really mean. When Conan and the Detective Boys went to the Mouri Detective Agency, they see a man named Masao Kouda. Conan asks him if he's meeting the private detective, Kogoro Mouri. After that, they went inside, and Kouda asks Kogoro if he could find his missing sister named Sanae Kouda. Masao Kouda claims Watanuki has killed his sister and has buried her in his yard.

Missing Person - Murder?

EP107-108-1 Case.jpg

Location: Watanuki's household
Victim: Sanae Kouda
Age: 26 years old
Suspects: Yoshikazu Watanuki
Kouda's younger sister Sanae went missing a month ago while she had gone to conduct business at Watanuki household and has since been missing. Kouda suspects that Watanuki had murdered her and buried her body inside his garden.

Masao Kouda begs Kogoro to go with him to find his missing sister into his yard but unfortunately, Kogoro can't do that. Later, Kouda had stolen the jewels.

Robbery

EP107-108b Case.jpg

Location: Enokida Jewelry
Culprit: Masao Kouda

Making things worse is the intent he has to break into Watanuki's yard when Watanuki's gone to the hospital for his weekly Saturday treatment. Conan believes the story at first, but a call with Kouda's voice causes him to begin doubting everything he has heard.

Part 2

Kouda hides stolen jewelry in Watanuki's yard to force the police department to dig it up, but unbeknown to him is that Mother Nature has caused an optical illusion to fool witness Shinichi Mochida. Can Conan prove Masao's innocence before a guilty man gets away permanently?
