Episode 603: The Seance's Double Locked Room Mystery (First Locked Room)
Scenario: Conan, Mouri, and Ran are lost in the woods and arrive at a mansion where they are introduced it a fan club for Kira Miyahara, the heroine of a movie titled Blackmagic Girl who was supposedly killed in a car accident a year ago and whose body was never found. They are introduced to the club members: Kouji Yatsukawa, assistant director of Nichiuri TV; Reiki Hirasaka, the creator of the Blackmagic Girl series; Shouko Utakura the aspiring gravure idol; Yutaka Kani the president of Kira's fan club; Kazuo Hoonogi the doctor; Maho Izumi, a timid member of the club; and Ryuuichi Mifune a cosplay cameraman. They tell Kogoro that they are holding a séance to communicate with Kira Miyahara. During the séance, ghostly signs begin to show themselves and Kira's voice is heard swearing vengeance on her killers. Conan and Kogoro reveal the special effects to be activated by a remote control in Hirasaka's possession. Hirasaka however reveals that someone replaced his recording of Kira's voice with the one they heard. They learn that Kira's accident occurred after leaving from a party consisting of Hirasaka, his editor Sawanami, and Hoonogi. Sawanami was murdered months ago and was discovered by Utakura; Sawanami wrote Kira as his dying message. At night, the members receive a text message from Utakura's phone exclaiming the return of Kira and discover Utakura strangled in the locked séance room.
Conan, Ran, and Kogoro knocked on a mansion door at night as they were lost. The door is open and a man in a hood is seen which makes them scream. They see behind the mysterious man more people dressed like him. One of them notices Kogoro and shows himself as Koji Yatsukawa. They are allowed to come in and everyone tells Kogoro who they are. Hirasaka tells them that they will be holding a séance for their idol, (who was supposed to be a star in the Black Magic Girl Movie). They decided to hold a séance as rumors have come up saying if people ditched the club, they will be suffered with illness. They also brought up a murder who was supposed to be related to the death of Kira. So they decided to have the séance to ask Kira herself.
Kira Miyahara was driving her BMW Z4 Coupé [E86] but fell from the hill killing herself. Murder is suspected as Kira was a skilled driver.
During the séance, they call out to Kira and voices of her coming out from the paintings around them telling them that one of them here has killed her and she shall have her vengeance. Soon the tables start shaking and things start breaking. Kogoro deducts that the person moving these objects (from a remote control) was Hirasaka which is proven to be right. He claims it was just a little performance but says that someone switched the audio as thats not what he put on the tape. Soon after Hirasaka and Honogi are in a room talking to each other. It seems that Honogi did or saw something a while ago. While eating with some other guests Conan asks questions about Kira and the previous murder. They learn the person who saw the body was Shouko. When they call her cellphone to see if she will talk to Kogoro a bit she says she has a headache and not now.
Later that night when everyone is sleeping. The club members get a message saying "I have returned to life" ~Kira from Shouko's phone. After breaking into the meditation room she is on the table dead. Shouko is found lying dead on the meditation room's table. Conan quickly notices that this was a sealed door murder. Yutaka than lets out an evil laugh saying "Kira has returned."
