Golden Apple Case
File 351 - Golden Apple 2
Sharon Vineyard speaks of her past filled with misfortunes, mentioning her daughter, Chris Vineyard. She reveals that Chris and her had fallen out, and haven't seen each other in over ten years as Chris had begun "hanging out with a bad crowd." Sharon escorts Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the dressing room to meet the cast: Lilas Sanchez, Rose Hewitt, Akane Neilson, and Iberis Hamilton. After brief introductions, Iberis mentions a mysterious gift sent to the actresses, a golden apple with the words "For the Fairest" written on it. Then, Heath Flockhart, the star actor, enters the room recommending to show their guests backstage.
While exploring the narrow gaps that make up the backstage, Ran notices the play's costumes hung up on the ceiling. Suddenly, a tether snaps causing a large armor piece to fall onto the group. Most manage to escape, but Rose's dress is caught on a sign. Seeing this, Ran rushes over and tackles her out of the way as the armor crashes onto the floor. Rose suspects that she's being targeted, stating that the prop mirror — which is the cast's lucky charm — must've given her the luck to survive. Sharon, however, points to Ran as Rose's savior. After Rose expresses her gratitude to her, Ran notices she's scraped her arm. Sharon hands her a handkerchief before leaving the set, saying that she has "something to take care of."
Yukiko and Ran enjoy the performance while Shinichi calls it cliche. He explains that the play is based on an ancient Greek myth where a festival is held on Mount Olympus where most of the Gods are invited. Eris, the Goddess of discord, however, is not invited. Angered, she throws a Golden Apple with the words "For the Fairest" into the crowd. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite see the apple challenging them to determine who the apple is for, letting a Trojan Prince decide. Shinichi explains that Lilas plays Hera, Akane plays Athena, and Rose plays Aphrodite with Iberis playing Eris and that in the end, it is Aphrodite who is chosen by the prince. Yukiko then states that this show is different from the Greek myth and that there is a twist at the end. Heath, who was playing the Trojan Prince, reveals himself as the Christian Archangel, Michael. Before Michael can reveal the answer to Eris' question, Shinichi notices a red beam of light coming from the audience and into the smokescreen shrouding the stage. Michael is then lifted into the air by the stage cables but to everyone's horror, he is shown dead.

Pandemonium ensues as Michael (played by Heath) is shot. Shinichi rushes up to the spectator box from which he sees the red beam of light. All that is left is a single bullet cartridge. Radish Redwood examines Heath's body, learning that he was shot at an angle of 40 degrees. Yukiko arrives, recounting the events of Heath's assassination to the police. Meanwhile, Shinichi pulls on Redwood's face to test if he's still a disguise worn by Sharon Vineyard.
Redwood discovers strange burn marks under Heath's neck, as well as smudged blood on Heath's hands despite there being no traces of him touching his bloodstained costume. With Yusaku unavailable, Ran entertains the idea of Shinichi solving the case, citing his contributions to the murder case on the airplane on the way to New York.[1] Hearing Ran's praise, Yukiko is surprised by her son's apparent proficiency at deduction. Shinichi concludes that the murderer is one of the four actresses on stage alongside Heath. The gun cartridge Shinichi had found in the spectator box wasn't hot, meaning it wasn't fired and instead placed there to throw off the investigation. Shinichi also says that the falling armor was likely not an accident as he found a cut on the floor as well as a segment of nylon string — the same type of nylon string found on the armor. Redwood and Yukiko then press Shinichi on how someone less than 6ft tall could shoot Heath from a higher angle, but Shinichi confesses that he hasn't figured that out yet.
Later, the four actresses are seen fidgeting with various items while arguing about their flings they each had with Heath. However, Yukiko reveals to Redwood and Ran that Iberis was Heath's wife but decided to keep it a secret from her colleagues.
Shinichi goes to investigate the mirror in which the murder took place. He asks Ran to hold up a pamphlet above her head to grasp Heath's height. Comparing the simulated height to the mirror's height, Shinichi notices that the all-important mirror has been truncated, leaving a visible mark on the glass. Shinichi goes around the back of the mirror and sees a feather from Heath's costume stuck on a grate that seemingly covers nothing. He lifts the grate to see two streaks of blood running across the floor.

Shinichi wishes to examine the costumes that are hung above the stage, much to the dismay of the theater workers. Yukiko arrives, charming the men into giving up information. While Redwood and his associate discuss the possibility of an outside perpetrator, the lights suddenly shut off on stage. Yukiko, under the name "The Night Baroness," appears in the spotlight, reciting the deduction Shinichi had told her explained to her. Meanwhile, Shinichi explains to Ran his deduction.
Yukiko departs to the police station for questioning, leaving Shinichi and Ran to go to the hotel. But before she leaves, she warns them of the serial killer: a long-haired Japanese man. On the cab ride, Shinichi notices Ran in a dazed state, asking her if Rose's words had gotten to her. She denies it. Ran leaves the cab window open, claiming that she can see the New York views better that way. Shinichi protests that the cab's interior will get wet from rain, but Ran says she'll use the handkerchief Sharon gave her to wipe the seat, but a sudden gust of wind blows the cloth out of her hands and into the streets. Ran immediately asked the driver to stop so she could retrieve it. Shinichi notices the handkerchief stuck on the service staircase of a dilapidated building and sets off to get it. As he leaves, Ran remembers Sharon's words, "I wonder if there is God. If he truly existed, he wouldn't let such a cruel thing happen," and Rose's words, "Thank you... You helped me to make it." Ran suspects Sharon knew Rose would kill Heath; that's why she pitied Ran for letting such a heinous thing happen. Wallowing in her rush of emotions, she notices someone approaching. Standing before her is a long-haired Japanese man.
File 354 - Golden Apple 5
Ran is petrified at seeing the long-haired man she believes is the infamous serial killer. The cab driver also thinks this, urging Ran to jump in, but as she remains frozen, the driver speeds off. The man then asks Ran if she is Japanese and if she has seen a suspicious, sparsely bearded Japanese man with long dyed silver hair. Then, an associate of the long-haired man drives up and converses about their target. It's revealed that the serial killer recently got into a shootout with the long-haired man and is in the area. He pulls Ran aside and tells her to leave. Unable to leave Shinichi behind, Ran enters the dilapidated structure to inform him of the news. She spots a trail of blood at the entrance leading to the service staircase. She begins to experience delirium from her fever but chooses to press on. Hearing footsteps descend the stairs, Ran rushes forward, believing it to be Shinichi, but to her horror, it's the serial killer. Shinichi trails him, yelling for Ran to hide.
With the serial killer's hiding spot discovered and Ran in his way, he elects to shoot her. He leans against a rusty railing uttering the words, "If you're going to resent someone, resent God who prepared this cruel ending for you." While preparing his silencer, the railing breaks, causing the killer to fall off the staircase, but before he plummets to his doom, Ran grabs onto him saving his life. She's followed by Shinichi, who helps her drag the man up. The serial killer questions why the two of them would save him, to which Shinichi responds, "Is a reason necessary? I don't know why you would kill someone, but as for saving someone...A logical mind isn't needed, right?" Hearing his words, Ran is put at ease, believing she was justified in saving Rose's life. She then falls unconscious due to her fever.
Shinichi carries his childhood friend down the stairs, confident that the serial killer would not fire his gun without a silencer. Not in the position to take action, Shinichi proceeds to let the serial killer go, threatening to throw him in prison if they ever meet again.
A day later, Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran are seen at Central Park. Yukiko converses with Sharon on the phone about the previous night's events and how Shinichi had called the police on the serial killer. However, by the time they had arrived, the killer had apparently taken his own life. Ran has also recovered but seemingly has no recollection of recent events. Sharon concludes the call by asking Yukiko to tell Ran, "Just like you said, perhaps an angel was looking out for me after all."
In the present day, Ran awakens from her sleep at the hospital. Kogoro and Conan are there to greet her, attributing Ran's sudden fever to overwork. The two leave her for the night as she reflects on her sudden regain of memories. She realizes that she had fallen in love with Shinichi after he justified saving people to the serial killer at the service staircase. She also recalls the long-haired Japanese man who told her to leave, remembering that his associate wore a jacket with the words "FBI" written on it.
