List of episodes

The case begins with a memory from the past, in which Shinichi's father, Yusaku Kudo, is shown telling Inspector Megure and Mouri Kogoro (who was a police officer at the time) that there is no need to worry about serial murder despite the ominous "death" character written next to the victim's body.

Case

Situation

Part 1

Ran, Sonoko, and Masumi are discussing the case abandoned by Yusaku Kudo when they come across people crowded around a dead body. The "death" character was written facing the body, indicating a possible murder. At Shinichi's house, Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Masumi, and Subaru inspect the photo from the case in the past; when the "death" characters in both cases are found to be similar, they are left wondering how Yusaku Kudo could have determined that the case was not a murder.

Murder? (Past)
	Victim: Takefumi Koriyama Cause of death: Stab wound

Murder?
	Location: Next to the vending machine on a street Victim: Isao Takaichi Cause of death: Cirrhosis of the liver

Part 2

In a phone call with Ran as Shinichi, Conan hears that Subaru compared him to a ninja. Reminded of the sanada flag with its six coins, Conan solves the mystery.

Resolution

Takefumi Koriyama's death was an accident. The death characters were coincidental flukes made by candies and a thumb edge in Koriyama's case was place by the Ryosuke Nishimura, and coins, the edge of a wallet, and a cigarette in Isao's case. The reason why the truth in Korriyama's death wasn't made public was to protect the child from being looked down on, since his action could be misunderstood as a prank. Megure correctly ruled Isao's case to be a theft as some thieves stole Isao's wallet post-mortem. The thieves returned to the crime scene and attacked Masumi, Ran, Sonoko, and Conan to cover their involvement in the theft. A little Jeet Kun Do, karate, and a well placed soccer ball dispatched the thieves easily. Masumi's thoughts at the end of the episode seem to indicate she knows something about Shinichi's past.
