Episode 118: The Naniwa Serial Murder Case

Scenario: Conan and Harley find out the victims are indeed connected, they took the driving test at the same place, where an instructor named Mr. Inaba was killed in a drunk driving accident. Harley then travels to meet up with Congressman Grady, their prime suspect; however, Grady himself received a call from the culprit but refuses to tell the authorities. Conan is forced by Rachel to travel with another officer to go to their motel but due to an emergency, they are driven to the site where Cornelius Graver, a dangerous fugitive and also a suspect, is thought to be hiding.

After Conan finds him, he realizes Cornelius and Grady are not the murderer. Harley confronts the serial killer: Truman Salinger, his tour guide, who intentionally dropped his victim's body on the car to throw Harley into an active murder case, which in turn, gave him access to Congressman Grady who he planned to murder next. Cornelius, while hiding for his other crimes, was found by Salinger who he mistaken for Mr. Inaba, Salinger's father who was killed by his victims in a prank gone wrong. Cornelius also confesses this to the other authorities when he is captured and was planned to be used as a scapegoat once Salinger completed his killing spree. After stopping his suicide, Harley is shot but survives.

A serial killer who strangles his victims first then stabs them through their wallet and into their chest appears in Osaka. Harley Hartwell invites Conan and the Moores for a tour in around his hometown with Truman Salinger as their guide and police escort. While on the tour they meet Kirsten Thomas who has followed them since the beginning. Later, the body of Castron Odalis is dropped onto their car, the third victim of the same offender. Susan Connoly, a terrified bystander, leaves the scene in her car and Harley manages to get her license and track her down to her residence. Conan and Harley find her apartment empty and they are drawn by a scream outside, where they and a maintenance worker find Susan has fallen prey to the same serial killer, strangled and stabbed through her wallet into her chest.

Heiji invites Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to visit him in Osaka, taking them on a sightseeing tour. In a restaurant, they run into Kazuha Toyama, Heiji's childhood friend, who appears to be jealous of Ran, asking her if she's "that Kudo girl" that Heiji keeps talking about and telling Ran to back off, because Heiji and her have been "joined by steel" for ages.

Ran laughs and explains herself and the two girls hit it off. After finishing their meal, Kazuha joins them on their exploration of the city, but, as they leave the restaurant, a dead body falls from the roof of the building, hitting Kogoro's rental car. The police arrive and quickly realise that this newest victim, a man in his forties, has been killed in the same fashion as two other people who died a few days earlier, by being stabbed in the heart through their wallets.
