Ray reveals that the victim created false rumors about him using drugs and destroyed his life. His wife committed suicide and that he only turned to drugs afterward to ease husband joint pain. Conan convinces Ray to turn himself in which involved the 2 having a conversation completely in English (in the subbed version). Conan is later shown to be sitting on the porch of Heiji's house depressed as one of his favorite soccer players Ray had been arrested.

Scenario: Heiji invites Mouri, Ran, and Conan to a celebration of the opening of the 3K restaurant by three American celebrities, a heavyweight boxing champion named Ricardo Barreira, a Major League Baseball player named Mike Norwood, and the pro soccer player known named Ray Curtis who Conan admires. Kazuha is shown to be listening in on their phone call and suspects that Heiji is having an affair with some woman as he keeps whispering on the phone "Is now not a good time? I can call back later." and "Have you been caught yet?" During the party th announcer asks if anyone has any questions for the 3 athletes. Suddenly, the news reporter named Ed McCay who was invited asks that isn't Japan the home of many scandals, and mentions that K stands for "kitanai" meaning filth. During the party Ran asks the soccer player for his autograph for Shinichi in front of all the guests which in turn leads Heiji to tell Conan to try and call Ran once in a while as Shinichi. Ran also received an autographed shirt and a ticket to an exhibition match in Nagai that Ray will be playing in which she gives to Conan. In return the soccer player asks Ran to help the 3 of them create a 'K' above the restaurant using the lights of the rooms above the restaurant. While they are doing this a gunshot is heard and a window breaks on the second floor. Heiji and Conan run up to the room and find the dead body of Ed McCay. The reporter is shown to be holding on to his belt with his left hand and showing 3 fingers with his right hand. At the end Heiji is wondering why Shinichi is acting strangely since he is trying to defend the suspects instead of trying to find out the truth.

At the Detective Agency, Conan is on the phone talking to Heiji about a restaurant's opening party. Heiji invites Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to come to the party, saying that three famous athletes from America are also going to be there.

In Osaka at the K3 Restaurant, Kogoro is very excited to meet Mai Kuraki, Miho Komatsu, TWO-MIX, and his favorite idol, Yoko Okino.

The lights get turned off, and the announcer welcomes the three famous American athletes, treating them as special guests. The three athletes are a former heavyweight boxing champion, Ricardo Barreira. Next is the major leaguer who pitches 160 km, Mike Norwood. Lastly, the goalkeeper known as the "Iron Wall of Europe", the pro soccer player named Ray Curtis. When he was Shinichi, he used to be a huge fan of Ray Curtis, and he is very happy to see him in person. The announcer is now going to ask a few questions to the three athletes. First, the announcer asks why they chose Japan to open their restaurant. Ray answers that it's because Japan is like a second home to them. Ray's wife and Mike's wife are both Japanese and Ricardo just love ninjas and samurais. Next, the announcer asks does the "K" in the restaurant's name, "K3", mean "Kings". Ray answers it's wrong. The first is a Knockout, the K from KO in boxing. The next is a "Strikeout", represented by a K in baseball. The last is a "Goalkeeper", keeper starts with K in soccer. Suddenly, the news reporter named Ed McCay who was invited to the K3 Restaurant asks that isn't Japan the home of many scandals, and mentions that K stands for "kitanai" meaning filth.

Heiji wonders who he is and Kogoro knows that Ed McCay's famous in America. He's a reporter that whose speciality is exposing famous athletes' scandals. He manages to prove the athletes took illegal drugs, played fixed games, and had affairs in the past.

Later, the announcer asks the audience to submit any questions to the three athletes. Ran suddenly raises her hand to submit a question, but actually asks Ray Curtis to sign an autograph. The announcer is against it, but Ray says that it's okay and that he'going to sign it on one of his number 8 uniforms. Ran thanks Ray for accepting her request. When Ray asks her name, she actually asks to write 'Shinichi'. Conan blushes because Ran remembered that he was a fan of Ray Curtis.

Kazuha thinks it's weird that goalkeepers are supposed to be number 1 but Ray wears number 8. Conan says it's because Ray used to be a fielder, but during the World Cup, both the first string and back-up goalkeepers were injured, putting them in a pinch. They decided to make Ray the goalkeeper. His super-saves led them to victory. After that, when he entered the Sevilla League in Spain, he came on as a goalkeeper with the number 8. Of course, he wears it for his major league soccer team as well. Kazuha then asks what does number 99 mean the one Mike wears. Heiji answers that it stands for 99 mph, which is 160 km in Japan. It's the speed of Mike's pitch, so he requested that number. Lastly, Kazuha asks what does 4 mean which it says it on the boxing glove under Ricardo's signature. Kogoro answers that it's because Ricardo used to always win in "four" rounds, so he started putting it under his signature.

When Ran gets back with the autographed uniform for Shinichi, she also has the ticket to the exhibition match in Nagai that Ray will be playing in. She gave it to Conan. Outside, Ran uses the transceiver to communicate the three athletes to go to the hotel rooms above the restaurant to form a letter "K". When it's done, the gunshot occurs and the window breaks. Conan and Heiji go back inside and then upstairs. They find the dead body of Ed McCay.

When Otaki and the police arrive, they identify the victim as Ed McCay, a 48-year old reporter from Chicago. The cause of death is a gunshot wound to the chest. The weapon was a Smith & Wesson revolver. Judging from the blood stains, death wasn't instant. Heiji hears that the gunshot was heard at 8:05 pm. In the hotel making a "K", Ray was responsible for the 1st and 2nd floors, Mike was responsible for the 3rd and 4th floors, and Ricardo was responsible for the 5th floor. That means any of those three could have possibly committed the crime. Judging from the three athletes' past, they all have motives.

When Conan checks the corpse, he notices the victim is gripping his belt with his left hand. Also, the fingers of the right hand. The little finger and ring finger are curled in. It's the dying message from the victim. The keys to figuring this out are the three fingers on the right hand and the white bando in his left, "bando" refering to a leather belt in the west.

When the police checks all the people with gunpowder traces, they found nothing. They also checked the three athletes with light body check but their managers can't let the police treat them as suspects anymore. Of course, there's no gunpowder traces on them either. Those three weren't fond of the victim. He reported that Ricardo fought in fixed matches and was forced to retire. Next, he said that Ray got kicked out of European soccer for illegal drug abuse. Finally, he claimed Mike had an affair that lead to his divorce, but Mike's wife was Japanese and they're doing well. Conan is acting strangely as the three celebrities are suspects. Heiji wonders what's wrong with him.

Conan takes notice of the victim's odd position on the floor. During the investigation, it is discovered that Shohei and his wife, Toshiko, are the only ones with the keys to the wine cellar, which was locked. In addition, the window could only be opened from the inside, and has a security alarm so it can't be forced open.

Based on what was found so far, the culprit should still be in the house. Fingerprints have been found on the door by two of the suspects, Jyokichi Tonomura and Yukari Takano. Nonaka went outside and never touched the door, and Toshiko was in the kitchen and couldn't leave without passing by Kogoro's group.

Conan pretends to be thirsty in order to infiltrate the Ueda's room which is 1 floor above the victim's room in order to search for clues. He finds multiple indentations in the carpet indicating that furniture had been placed there but was moved. Later Conan uses Mouri to say his deduction. Conan reveals that there is no way that the victim's slipper could have flown so far if he had jumped from the 5th floor and since the roof door is locked that means that the victim had jumped from the friend's room which was the highest floor. He deduces that the friend and the victim had drunken whiskey together in the victim's room and the friend had spiked the whiskey with sleeping pills. The friend had carried the victim to his room which he had rearranged to look like the victim's room so that the victim would believe that it was his room. While the friend was with Mouri and Conan in the restaurant he called the victim saying that the people who were after him were coming for him. Ueda had also previously called a florist to deliver flowers at 7:00pm which the victim mistook for the people coming after him and he proceeded to jump from the balcony to the warehouse stairs which killed him as he was on the 6th floor. The evidence that Ueda was guilty was that there was no call received by Ueda at the time of the crime. The culprit revealed that he was in debt and the victim convinced him to steal drugs from the hosipital they worked at. But when the friend wanted to stop stealing the victim threatened to reveal to everyone in the hospital that the friend had been stealing drugs.

One of the three passengers in the back is a secret informant of the two armed hijackers and is informing them when one of the passengers makes a suspicious move.

Gin and Vodka are at the "Polestar", a high end bar with a live music act. They just wrapped up a meeting with an unfortunate client who walked out with a happy face, not knowing he just had his final drink. Vodka notices that Gin seems enamored by the songstress onstage and praises her voice. At that moment, a waiter delivers two dry martinis to their table, stating that they were from the diva. Vodka accepts them with pleasure, but before he can drink, Gin snuffs his cigarette out in the martini and demands to know what kind of game the waiter is playing. Before the waiter can reply, Gin slams the waiter's head to the table and attempts to spear him with an icepick. The waiter jerks out from Gin's grip, leaving his latex mask behind. The waiter is actually a woman in disguise: the Black Organization agent Vermouth.

Vermouth reassures him that everyone is too focused on the diva to notice them.

Gin then asks Vermouth if she found "the one" she was searching for, and Vermouth replies that she hasn't. Vodka tries to ask for clarification, but Gin tells him it's useless because Vermouth loves keeping secrets. Her catchphrase is "a secret makes a woman, woman" because a touch of mystery gives a woman her allure. Gin finds her secret-keeping habit repulsive. In return, Vermouth asks if Gin has found Sherry. Gin says that no traitor can hide from him, and that soon enough he will make both Sherry and the man who protected her at the Haido City Hotel taste true fear.

However, afterwards, Haibara is able to sense that Vermouth is on the bus and hides herself to prevent her from being found. Soon after, the bus is hi-jacked by two armed men who use the passengers as hostages.

Conan tries to coordinate with the others and use his gadgets, but is caught by the busjackers every time. He then realizes that one of the three passengers in the back seat is an accomplice of the armed men and is somehow informing them about the passengers' behavior. Conan observes them and notices that one woman is chewing bubble gum, the middle man has some sort of ear piece, and the final man is wearing a mask and coughing often.

The bus hijackers demanded the police to release their boss Kunio Yashima, who was previously arrested from a jewelry robbery case. To project the hostages, the police conceded.

Conan investigates the ski bags the robbers placed in the center of the bus and realizes they contain explosives.

The area and history of the Mermaid's Grave which was supposedly a grave of a mermaid that was moved to a forest on mermaid island after grave robbers tried to steal its bones for immortality. They learn that Mikoto is over 130 years old, an arrow carrier, and the head of the festival. While investigating the murders, Kimie is burned alive in the warehouse near the shrine. Conan, after a few more hints and clues, reveals to Heiji over the phone that he knows who the murderer is and to meet him later. However, as Heiji discovers the mermaid's grave in the forest, he falls off the cliff and Kazuha, while successfully pulling him back up, ends up falling off the cliff herself. Heiji jumps off the cliff after her and they both end up hanging from a tree branch. Kazuha sees the branch slowly breaking from the weight of both of them and stabs Heiji's hand with her arrow in order to make him let go and save himself.

During Toshimi's funeral, Naoko was found murdered by someone at the fishing net. The foot prints of the criminal went toward the ocean and vanished, and her arrow is missing. Is Naoko murdered by the mermaid!?

Conan and Heiji investigate the area and history of Mermaids Grave, a forest on mermaid island. They learn that an elder who is over 130 years old is a holder of the arrow and the head of the festival. Three years ago a warehouse got burned down and a half body was discovered missing its legs. The police from the coast said that the body was of a middle age woman, and concluded that it might have been a tourist, who snuck into the warehouse to look for a dugong arrow and accidently started the fire. The deceased was never identified. But rumors had been going around that it was a body of a mermaid. The year after the incident, the bones were buried on the island, but later moved into the forest on orders from the Elder due to grave robbers who had stolen bones from the grave. In myth it was believed that bones of a mermaid grant long life. It was that incident that made the Elder famous around the country. Naoko suggest that Toshimi had been looking for the grave, and Kimie confirms that Toshimi often spoke of it.

Not long after Ran and Kazuha saw a strange woman resemble Saori, the warehouse was set on fire. The burnt body was identified as Kimie. From circumstances, everything pointed to Saori being the true mastermind of the three murders. Was she really the woman Ran and Kazuha saw? Or it's the other two suspects, her father and Rokuro?

While investigating two more murders occur. First Naoko being strangled and her arrow is missing. The only connection between the three women, beside being childhood friends, is that they all three believed in the power of the arrow, and that the Elder was immortal. Heiji and Conan decides to take a look at the book with the names and numbers for those who anticipated in the festival's lottery, but the most recent one is missing. While Kimie goes out to search for it. Heiji and Conan takes a look at the old ones. Conan finds a name, Shiho Miyano, and remembers that it was Haibara's real name, but doubts that's her. Then Kimie gets burned in the warehouse near the shrine. After the corpse's identity is determent by dental records, Rokuro breaks down crying and the 'Elder' takes to her bed muttering about seeing young life dying, while she still lives. The group splits up, Heiji and Kazuha goes out searching for Benzo, while Rokuro takes the rest to Saori's house, so Ran can see a picture of Saori and determent if she was the woman, she and Kazuha saw. After searching a bag for travel in the house Conan realizes that something is missing. He reveals to Heiji he knows who the murderer is, relay his theory, and asks him to meet up later, but later Heiji and Kazuha fall off a cliff after they discovered the much-talked-about grave. At the grave Heiji sees that someone has visited it recently and begins to wonder if Conan's solution was correct.

Episode 218: Megure's Locked Away Secret (Part 2)

Scenario: It is revealed that all the victims were in their cars before being attacked. Sonoko, wearing platform boots, goes to use the bathroom, unaware of the killer following her. Conan gives his theory and declares that Yoshio Sadakane is the killer; since he is a security guard, he can observe who was wearing platform boots. Due to Tae being a minor when she killed Akira, Yoshio could not track her name and address due to the law. He became enraged and attacked any girl fitting Tae’s physical description. Yoshio prepares to murder Sonoko but Megure shields her and takes the blow to the head. After receiving a stern lecture about his actions and crime from a profusely bleeding Megure, Yoshio confesses; all he wanted was for Tae Aizawa to apologize for killing his son, Akira. Afterwards, Megure reveals a case in the past which is why he was so anxious. In the past a man was attacking girls with long skirts and a girl offered to be a decoy; she was badly injured along with Megure, leaving scars on both of them. The girl is revealed to be Midori, Megure's wife in the future.

The investigation continues, and when the policemen accidentally drop Aizawa's shoe and cannot put it back on since it doesn't fit, Conan deduces that the killer took her shoes away to hide how he was tracking and attacking girls with similar footwear. Since all of the girls attacked were gyarus, he also deduces that Aizawa was using platform boots, which are very popular among them. Sato hears this and says that a year ago, in the incident that took the life of little Akira Sakurai, Aizawa was supposedly wearing platform footwear; the boy's parents told this to the judge and said that was the reason why Aizawa didn't step properly on the brake and ended up hitting him. Supposedly wearing these boots cause the brake to take longer time. Megure sends out Takagi to find more info about the accident, and then tells the others to seek for the culprit who is still not too far from them.

After discussing some more details, Takagi returns and confirms the information already given. Conan and Ran see that Sonoko isn't with them; Ran mentions that Sonoko was supposed to go to the car and then to the restroom, and then Conan realizes that Sonoko was wearing platform boots, like all the victims. Ran calls Sonoko to her cellphone, and Sonoko says she's looking for a safe way out since the lights are out.

Episode 217: Megure's Locked Away Secret (Part 1)

Scenario: Michiko Ishiguro is gravely injured when a man bashes her in the head with a metal bat as she leaves a phone booth. Later that day, while accompanying Sonoko on her shopping spree, Kogoro is mistakenly attacked by Sato, Megure, and Takagi as part of a stakeout. They inform Kogoro about a serial offender attacking gangarus. According to the victims’ testimony, their attacker stood at 150 centimeters tall. Kogoro mentions a similar case 20 years ago where female high school students were run over, shocking Megure. At the department store’s underground parking lot, Ran discovers Tae Aizawa dead. Tae fits the demographic of the past victims. It is revealed that Tae was involved in another case where she struck and killed a boy named Akira Sakurai. Suspects in Tae’s murder are her boyfriend Noriyuki Shirakawa, his father Haruyoshi, Yuri Konno, and security guard Yoshio Sadakane. When Conan provides useful points, Sato dresses up in her decoy outfit and Megure snaps at the idea, causing Conan to wonder why.

Ran found the dead body.

The episode starts with a dark-skinned young lady in a phone booth at night, speaking to someone over the phone. Right after she is done calling, and when she was getting ready to return to her nearby car, a man dragging a club comes up from behind her and knocks her out with it.

The next scene shows Ran and Sonoko shopping for a sweater as Sonoko wants to buy for Makoto Kyogoku; Sonoko gets scolded by Ran when she learns that Sonoko wants to make it pass as if she had knitted the sweater for him. Kogoro and Conan left the girls to do their shopping, and while crossing the street Kogoro notices a good looking girl coming out of a phone booth. Conan notices that she left a ball-point pen in the booth so Kogoro grabs it and went to the lady to give it to her. As Kogoro touches her, she tackles him to the ground; Inspector Megure, Wataru Takagi and two other police officers come out and jump on Kogoro without realizing that it is Kogoro.

After they find out it is Kogoro, they all go to a pasta shop and explain the case to Kogoro. It is also shown that the lady who attacked Kogoro was Miwako Sato, posing as a decoy. They show him pictures of the three different victims (Ryouko Mizutani, Hitomi Endou, and Michiko Ishiguro - the girl from the first scene): all of them are young women with bleached hair, fashionable clothes and deep tans, and according to their testimonies the man attacking them was around their own height, meaning around 150 cms tall.

Sonoko arrives to the pasta shop right then and upon seeing the girls's pictures she identifies them as Ganguro, girls who change their looks drastically to look fashionable and exotic and as a way to rebel against Japanese society. After being unable to figure out a relation between the victims other than their looks, Kogoro brings up a case about a string of female high-school students being hit by cars, which happened twenty years ago. Inspector Megure looks shocked, stands up and says they should get back to the investigation.

As Inspector Megure is about to leave, he tells Sato and Takagi that they should start at the beginning. Then Conan spots something else similar to the three victims and Sonoko: they all are wearing rather fashionable jewelry pieces that are given as a gift in a particular shop if you spend 10,000 yen or more there. Megure approaches her, checks on the jewels Sonoko's wearing and compares them to the photos: all of the girls are at least one piece of the jewelry set, though Sonoko has them all due to having purchased lots of stuff there.

Sonoko calls Ran to ask where she is. She says she's in a parking lot and then she screams in terror because she has just found another victim. Said victim is a 20 year old girl named Tae Aizawa, who used to work at the same store: again, a very young woman with bleached hair, tanned skin, and wearing the special jewelry gifts. Unlike the others, however, Aizawa is actually dead.

The victim's boyfriend, arrives to the crime scene. His name is Noriyuki Shirakawa, he works as a cook in the convenience store owned by his dad, and he had asked Aizawa to meet up with him so they'd reunite with his dad. Some possible suspects gather in the scene: Shirakawa's father Haruyoshi (who opposed to him and Tae's relationship), the waitress Yuri Konno who also was a friend of Noriyuki Shirakawa, and a guard named Sadakane who used to work for another convenience store, whom Haruyoshi Shirakawa accuses of being the killer to ruin the store's reputation. He then also tells his son to get a new girlfriend, one "with a clean slate". Yuri Konno then explains that Aizawa was related to another case a year ago: she accidentally hit a young boy named Akira Sakurai with her car in the parking garage and killed him, thus she renounced to her job and was searching for another before she died.

Among the investigation questions, Noriyuki freaks out when his father is mentioned as a possible suspect for the case in general. He snaps and tells the police "You are all useless!" in horror and frustration. Upon hearing Noriyuki's words, Megure goes into a shocked state and remembers a very young woman saying the same phrase in tears, as well as saying "Why are you suprised? I said I was going to play decoy." Then the woman's face in his memories is shown again, except she's bleeding profusely and says "Guess... it didn't go as smoothly as in the movies." Megure drops to his knee and looks like he has a headache; he says it's nothing when Kogoro and Sato show concern, and Yuri offers apologies before taking Noriyuki away, but Conan suspects something.

Conan then brings up other points. First, only Mizutani (first victim) and Ishiguro (third) could offer reliable descriptions, since Endou (second) was attacked from behind and couldn't see who attacked her. Second: the girls weren't wearing much, even though it was freezing and at night, meaning they were in the way to their own vehicles where either was warmer or they had their coats. Sato says she will wear the decoy outfit she wore before and exit her car, in case she can do more. Inspector Megure then shouts "Didn't I say no more decoys!?" Superintendant Matsumoto arrives and asks if it's "that case" from before. Megure denies it and Conan thinks something is strange with him.
