Episode 351: The Forgotten Cell Phone (Part 2)
Scenario: From the phone company, they confirm the three calls, but they are made from different places. The person's name and address were only asked during the last call, when they heard a loud sound and the call was abruptly cut off. Yumi first calls Beiko station where they are informed of a dangerous looking man in a long coat, who was hesistating to make the call and the loud noise may be the announcements. Yumi then calls the Apollo sports shop, where a crew-cut man whose phone's battery was dead came, and the loud noise might have been the construction noise from outside. The third place is Colombo restaurent, where a regular customer in sunglasses made a call after borrowing change. Here the loud noise turns out to be from the campaign car which is everywhere now-a-days. Yumi asks him to call back when the customer comes back. Conan finds out that most of the numbers are very close to each other, suggesting they might be neighbours. Also the numbers from 1032 to 1100 are missing. Azusa suggests they might infer dates from Oct to Nov. Conan suggests that the phone was placed in a way that would be easy to find it once it rings, which suggests that it was meant to be exchanged with someone. He suggests that the victim might have gotten the place wrong, since he was new to the area, hence he was hurrying. They deduce that the victim might have gotten the store's name wrong, since they were based on detectives. They come to Colombo, and upon asking the owner, they find that customer was asking the owner if he found a lost phone. Conan tranquilizes Richard and reveals the truth.
After some investigation by Conan, Kogoro, and Yumi, there are able to locate the identity of the killed man, as well as the secrets of the cell phone. Conan figures out that the numbers are not real contacts, but are very important pieces of confidential and scandalous information.
