A Secret of the Big Couple

File 927 - Illusion in the Back Room

  Show spoilers »

Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and reveals that the culprit is Akimichi Yamada. He killed Asuka during the second search when he went down to the storage room, then used Higo's and Asuka's phones for the trick, as well as a vacuum, a vacuum compression bag, Asuka's clothes, and the corkscrew from his sommelier's knife. Ai finds a discarded phone and bag to provide the evidence. Yamada killed Asuka because Asuka had discovered that he was a fraud who wanted to expand the business with the extra money he'd accrued by buying cheap wine that he presented as expensive.

Higo and Yoko are not dating each other—the watch they were looking at on the cover of the tabloid article was a mutual gift for a retiring high school teacher of theirs, and they were meeting with Asuka to ask him to write a message on the watch.

Ai is thanked by Higo for finding the evidence, and says he's tempted to have her take Takahiro Sanada's place on Big Osaka. The next day, Ai seems determined to prove herself a soccer player, and is enjoying Yoko's music again.

A Killer in Ramen Ogura

File 930 - Excessive Seasoning

  Show spoilers »

Conan and Sera arrive later at Ramen Ogura right when Sosuke Mizushina is there. A couple arrives later and they start discussing the murder-robbery case that had happened recently. They start exposing the trick with Conan and Masumi's help, and they imply indirectly that Sosuke Mizushina is actually the culprit. He runs to the bathroom and looks for the glass shards that he had retrieved with the hose vacuum trick and hidden in the toilet water tank. However, Sera takes the door down and the couple show him an arrest warrant. They were actually the detectives Takagi and Sato. It turns out that the one million yen earrings were in the soy sauce and Sosuke was trying to retrieve them by coming back to the shop and using as much sauce as he could until he found them.

Sera suddenly leaves and Ogura tells Conan that he wasn't able to give her her handkerchief back. It had the name "Mary" embroidered on it, which is the reason why he kept calling her "Mari", because he didn't know English very well and didn't know the correct pronunciation was "Mearii". Conan thinks that Mary is the unknown child's name, but he then considers the option that it could be Sera's real name. Anyway, he does recall a certain Mary in her memories, but can't remember exactly who she is.
