Episode 642: A Critical Moment from the Karuta Cards (Part 1)
Scenario: Conan is sick with a cold and receives a video call from the Detective Boys. During the call, the Detective Boys receive a plea from Masao Urafune to save him from the people posing as his parents. Disregarding Conan's advice to call the police, the Detective Boys decide to ask the neighbors about the Urafune family. They learn Masao is a compulsive liar and decide to ask him directly in his apartment on the premise of playing karuta. Meanwhile, the criminals threaten to kill Masao's mother if he attempts to reveal his situation to Detective Boys. As the game progresses, Masao plays in an aggressive manner but makes no effort to win, leading Haibara to realize he intends to use his cards to send a message.
Waking up with a fever, Conan reluctantly stays in bed while Haibara and the Detective Boys begin to play Karuta Cards. Mitsuhiko video calls to check why Conan is not with them. Suddenly, the door bell and repetitive knocks are at the front of Ayumi's apartment. A strange boy with slanted eyes, widow's peak, and glasses stands panting and begging for help. "Naturally," his "parents" come and pick him up from the door step and tell the detective boys it was only a prank and not to worry about it. Still video chatting, Conan explains that it was not a prank and that they should call Takagi. Conan hangs up and rest in bed. The Detective Boys are debating whether to listen to Conan or not because of his cold. In the end, Haibara and the Detective Boys walk around the building and ask the neighbors about the Urafune family. But all it leads up to going to the condo itself.
To come up with an excuse, Haibara says that they want to play with Masao, and push their way in to the apartment. Genta needs to use the restroom but it seems to be occupied, so Masao's "mom" tells him that he can use the back one. Slowly the Karuta game progresses, and so does the atmosphere in the room.
