Episode 1098: Chihaya Hagiwara, Goddess of the Wind (Part 1)

Scenario: Kogoro, Ran, and Sonoko went to Kanagawa to try out some French gourmet food in a restaurant called Déesse du Vent. The first intent of them going here was because Kogoro saw Yoko had come here before in one of her drama. Therefore it was rather popular and had a two-year waiting list of reservations; so how did they manage to go there instantly? The answer was obviously Sonoko - but as well as the fact that the head chef of that restaurant was a fan of the Sleeping Kogoro. Supposedly, they had also called the Detective Boys and Agasa to tag along. Unfortunately, Haibara got fairly afraid concerning the past incidents (The Time Capsule Case and FBI Serial Murder Case), in which she was on the brink of the explosure of her identity, so she decided to stay out this time, the other kids thus accompanied her in Professor's house and altogether they ate Subaru Okiya's curry. On Conan's end, he was still with Agasa inside the car, lost in orientation since Kanagawa was quite strangeness for them. Agasa was also caught for overspeeding in the middle of the road by a female traffic cop, who has a lock of red-brown long hair, wearing the police uniform and helmet. When they finally arrived there, Agasa and Conan explained the situation and the reason for there lateness. After that, they met a stout and strong old man, apparently having similar ages with Professor Agasa, who called himself Kinji Nanjo, the Suzuki Security representative director. he greeted Sonoko and went to the bathroom; Agasa, on the otehr hand, also intended to go to the bathroom.

Within the bathroom, President Nanjo and Professor Agasa were both washing their hands. They found out that they looked somewhat alike to each other, President Nanjo therefore entrusted Agasa with a little affair, which was to swap their clothes to impersonate each other. President Nanjo in fact wanted to sneak out of the restaurant before his family arrived, so he wanted to fool his guards so they would mistake Agasa for himself, so he could run away. The most dramatic consequence of this was that it did not fool the two guards of his, but instead, it fooled two criminals who were inside the restaurant precisely. A man with a long face, short hair, and a viscious look hijacked Agasa with a gun and took him to the garage forcefully, along with his accomplice.

Just as Conan was puzzling about it, wondering why he saw "two President Nanjos" outside the bathroom, a sharp sound of gunfire burst in. By judging the establishment point of this gunfire, Conan persuited and got to the garage. Conan then found a drop of the professor's fresh blood on the ground, and he understood what was going on with Agasa, so he activated his glasses to track the location of Agasa since he had a detective badge with him. He then urged Kogoro and Ran to inform the police, and he had stepped onto his skateboard and gone straight towards the highway. He then used the detective badge to communicate with the professor. Agasa said that evidently there were two criminals involved in this abduction case; the first was the man, who pointed at him with the gun initially; the second was a woman, who was driving the car. Conan also got the indication that the car in which Agasa was kidnapped was a yellow one. Conan afterwards found the car and noticed some stains of blood on the truck, so it was assumed that Agasa was inside.

The woman who was driving the car attempted to ditch Conan by insanely turning the steering wheel, which bounced Conan midst the sky. At that instance, Conan was swinging in the hollow sky, and his helplessness has genuinely manifested. Kogoro and Ran, who were driving behind, also witnessed that, and they were utterly shocked. Suddenly, the traffic cop who intercepted Agasa earlier grabbed Conan in the middle of the sky with her motorcycle and saved him timely. Ran felt that the traffic cop had grown a pair of angel wings, which lingered back and forth. "Thud..." The motorcycle landed on the road, Conan was successfully saved by the traffic cop, who seemingly had "wings" on her back. She took off the police helmet and actually introduced herself properly to everyone: her name is Chihaya Hagiwara, who is from the Kanagawa Police Traffic Division. Hagiwara then analysed the situation: Professor Agasa was kidnapped due to his similar appearances with President Nanjo, who was the real target of the two criminals. President Nanjo once bragged about how good his safes were by saying "No one is able to open it unless it's him; then go and steal me as well", which somewhat provoked the robbery thieves, so the two criminals here might have robbed one of these safes and wanted to rob President Nanjo as well in order to open his safe.

Hagiwara wanted to after the two criminals with Conan, since Conan had the location tracking glasses to know the exact location and the detective badge to communicate with Agasa directly. However, one of the criminals noticed that their hostage might have some sort of GPS technology on him apart from his phone, which they had gotten rid of in the first place. So they re-examined the truck and tossed the detective badge out of the car. At the same time, they also changed the car licence to minimise the probability of being discovered. Hagiwara flet quite discouraged, since now they could not know the location of that yellow car anymore and also that it would be impossible to intercept it with a different car license. Conan then told her that "there's another way; there's no need to give up yet". By means of this remark by Conan, Hagiwara got reminded by her younger brother, Kenji Hagiwara, who obviously said the same sentence before.

On the other hand, Kogoro, Ran, and Sonoko returned to the garage of that French restaurant; they were discussing the case as well. Kogoro found out that the criminals did not make a reservation to go to this restaurant; they just kncoked down two random people in the garage and pretended to be them. President Nanjo also leaked his schedule for today, so they got here easily. The two people were clearly knocked unconscious by stun gun, just like what they did with Professor Agasa when they tossed his detective badge.

Afterwards, the Kanagawa Prefecture police showed up; it was the familiar Jugo Yokomizo; he also commented on the Mouri family as the "family of reapers" in a playful tone. Later on, he quickly targeted the two criminals' identities; the woman was named Rokue Chien, and the man was named Daiya Chien. Ran then told him that Conan went along with a female traffic cop who possessed long red hair to persuade the criminals, and Inspector Yokomizo was fairly corried concerning Hagiwara...

Episode 1097: Did I Do It?

Scenario: "Did I do it?" A man who was all sweaty and looked rather unease troubled himself with this question phrase. He had his glasses broken and carried a jacket stained with blood. After hastily running towards the Mouri Detective Agency, he requested Kogoro to find out what he really did last night. After he suppressed his gasps, he began to tell the antecedent slowly: he is called Manabu Sako, and yesterday he screwed up on his work, and his girlfriend also dumped him. He wanted to express himself and embody his anger and sorrow deep in his heart, so he went somewhere and spent the night. During the morning, he discovered that he appeared to have a dump on his head, and he realised that his jakcet was stained with somebody else's blood. In addition to the broken glasses' lens, he suspected himself of doing something terrible. Therefore, he thought finding a detective to unravel the mystery behind all of this might be the wisest choice.

Even though Kogoro accepted the affair, it was still pretty tough to find the starting point of the investigation. Since this man had lost the memory specifically of that night, but Conan discovered some potential clues in the man's body. For example, on the side of the jacket's sleeve, there were some olive petals stuck onto it; the shoe sole of this man was also contaminated with some pieces of concrete; and lastly, he found a golden-coloured fibre on the man's hand, which had some blood stained in the middle of that fibre. To figure out the actual place that Sako was, Conan shined blacklight from his watch onto the man's palm, and a series of characters appeared: EDEN.[1] In reality, it is a nightclub named EDEN that most young people usually go to during the night. Inside the club, though it was closed during the day, they came across the owner of this club, Leila Hata. She had some black blemishes on her clothes. She was also quite astounded when she learned that Sako had lost his memory that night. She then gave the information that Sako stayed at the club all the time, and she even showed two photos to support her statement. One was taken at 11PM, which Sako appeared to be rejoicing in singing and dancing with the other customers; another was taken at 4AM, which Sako was alone, lying on the sofa, and looked rather drunk inside the club. After showing these photos, Hata immediately asked Kogoro to stop nagging her and leave since the case was "closed". The explanation for the broken glasses and the blood-stained jacket was probably caused by a trip over by Sako himself on his way home. Despite the majority believing this speculation, Conan was still sceptical about it, as inside the photos Hata showed there was a suspicious point he noticed: in the 11PM photo, the sole of Sako was still intact, but in the second photo, which was taken at 4AM, the concrete appeared on the sole. He said that this was evidence that Sako was out for once during this period. Hata also confessed that it was Sako who requested her to fabricate this false alibi for him, but now, knowing that Sako was in fact out during that night and even dubiously instructed to fabricate an alibi, what did he actually do?

Conan led everyone to a factory nearby the club since there were some concrete grounds there, which could be a possible premise that Sako got the concrete on his sole from. When arriving there, the construction site flagger, whose name is Tetsuo Morozumi, obstructed their passage. But instantly, he recognised Sako right away. However, not from last night; he claimed that he left the factory after 5PM yesterday, so he only saw Sako in the security camera footage this morning. The same went for him; he also could not believe that Sako had lost the memory, especially for that period of time, and he confirmed to him if he really had lost his memory, and Sako admitted. He then showed the camera video taken. Sako indeed appeared in the video, even though his face was rather unclear. And apparently, the video recorded that Sako went straight at midnight and returned back at 2AM. Therefore, if he committed any crime, it must also be within the time range of 0AM to 2AM. After the confirmation from Takagi by Kogoro, they found out that there was an unsolved theft case that took place within that period; however, it was caused by multi-culprits, and no blood was involved, so the coast was cleared for Sako here.

At the same time, Sonoko sent Ran a message through her cellphone. It was a funny video of a man hugging a white statue. When they scrutinised it meticulously, the person who did that was precisely Sako! They got there, and Sako tried to recover the "hugging scenario", but it did not much with the trivial perceptions he had during the loss of memory span. After that, they met the people who filmed Sako doing that and uploaded it to the internet. Driven by the menance words uttered by Kogoro, he relunctantly showed a video he filmed but did not post it. In the video, he precisely caught Sako walking through the square, with his jakcet stained and his glasses broken as well. And evidently, he was saying phrases like "I killed him." He also said that it happened yesterday at 2AM and gave the direction of where Sako came from at that time. They then found an abandoned building there, and in its yard, they planted an olive tree, so the olive petals Sako had must have been gotten from there. As they entered that building, they saw an old man dead in the corner of the room, with his feet facing towards the wall. On the side of the deceased old man, there was a little fragment of glass that remained, and surprisingly, it matched the missing gap on Sako's glass lens. Seeing this, Sako had somewhat realised and recalled what basically happened that night; according to his reminiscence, he pushed the victim with his own hands, turned around, and fled.

Megure and Takagi were once again responsible for handling this case. They immediately identified the victim's identity; obviously, he was an old man who lived in the nearby apartment alone and always patrolled around the street and told off the drunks and youths that held a passion for partying. After the police had analysed the crime situation, they found out that the deceased was being pushed by the culprit, and the head of the victim hit the pillar in the building, which left a blood trace on the pillar. It was also proven that the culprit exerted a great deal of force on the chest of the victim, as a cruise could be seen on Koba's chest, which probably meant that the culprit pushed Koba brutally when they were murdering Koba. And now Sako has become the prime, or more technically, the only possible candidate for this murder.

As most of the evidence pointed solely to himself: the crusie on the chest was checked and confirmed to have Sako's fingerfrints on it; the blood stained on his jacket was also analysed and turned out to be the victim's; he asked the club owner to falsify an alibi; a video filmed with his speech saying "I killed him"; and lastly, the estimated time of death of the victim was precisely the time when Sako left the nightclub. All sorts of clues were indicating that Sako had done it. This is probably the simpliest case ever, where all evidence was applied to only one person, but it might also be the most difficult case ever, if Sako is not the culprit?

Episode 1096: Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's Detective Notes 2

Scenario: After a long day of helping to clean and tidy the birdhouses at the park shed, the Detective Boys inquired of the park warden, Satoshi Kimishima, if he had more work to deploy to them. Fearing that he would not trust their abilities, they introduced themselves. After that, Kimishima finally asked them if they could find the owner of a hat that had stayed in the lost-and-found box for so long that it was time to dispose of it. After the Detective Boys had accepted the offer, the park warden walked towards another man, Hayato Izumiya, who was handing Kimishima a big purse filled with stuff. According to the park warden, there are many visitors that give the birds food, so it must be a bag full of food.

Mitsuhiko, using his perceptive observation skills, along with his astonishing deduction skills, managed to find the hat owner. Evidently, the owner of that hat is named Nozomu Katsumi. He was also surprised when Mitsuhiko handed him the hat and inquired how he knew it was his. Since the symbol on the hat looked custom-made, it was most likely an amateur baseball team. In addition, they contacted the hat manufacturer, following the clues, which helped them find Katsumi's teammates - that was how he found the hat owner. After that, Mitsuhiko disclosed that he actually consulted the "canon" of Sherlock Holmes Stories. And this time it was "The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle".

When the Detective Boys left Katsumi's premise, they found out by questioning some regular park visitors that most of their (or their friend's) jewels were stolen by the new burglar. That was infamously known in the entire district, and a police officer the Detective Boys met informed every resident and strengthened their awareness of it. At the same time, Haibara showed a police officer a sketch book that a female old lady gave her. There were a lot of drawings she drew within this park, and after the police officer had seen it, he pointed at a man drawn on the sketch book, which was apparently the park warden, Kimishima, and said that he had questioned him three times already because he felt him being somewhat suspicious, however, no falws were found on him. This sentence gave Conan a clearer idea of what was going on. And combining the discovery Mitsuhiko found, which all of the people who got robbed were regular park visitors, Conan figured out the culprit's trick of stealing jewels. Conan claimed Kimishima was the burglar, who knew the park visitors' time out. With this information, he could steal the jewels when the visitors were strolling out in the park. Moreover, to avoid any evidence being left on himself, he decided to take advantage of the pigeons he raised. With some practice, it should not be difficult to make them steal the jewels. He knew very well that pigeons have "homing instincts", which are their ability to return to their nests. But when the Detective Boys went to see Kimishima, they found Kimishima struggling in the head with tonnes of blood. What happened to him?

The Detective Boys analysed the situation of this attempted murder: there were leather shoeprints on the floor, which were apparently not the victim's since Kimishima wore sneakers; and the weapon to strike the victim's head was the bat left in the lost-and-found box. In other words, the culprit was someone Kimishina knows, probably an accomplice or a robbery-related person. The mess in the shed might not be the result of their tussling, but Conan deduced that the culprit must have been searching the shed to find someone. Most likely flee away when seeing the arrival of the Detective Boys, they must be hiding somewhere in this park to watch out for another opportunity to sneak in once again. Later on, the Detective Boys began their investigation into "finding the culprit". When the sun was about to set, all of the members of Detective Boys had gathered together, except Mitsuhiko, who was still poking around in the park.

Inside the restroom, Mitsuhiko was washing his hands. When he lifted his hands upward, he recalled himself carrying the birdhouse this morning, which made him think of something. He swiftly ran out of the restroom and went to the shed, seemingly understanding the truth of the case. On the other hand, the culprit was watching him at the back of the tree trunk. Thus, what did Mitsuhiko find out? And who is the culprit?

Episode 1095: The Dream of Disappeared Man

Scenario: A woman named Takako Nakajima requested Kogoro to find her missing husband, Hiroshi Nakajima, who had just vanished and lost contact with her three days ago. According to Takako, they have been married for four years, and she described her husband as an earnest man. Takako brought a box with her husband's belongings to the detective agency to serve as clues. There were some business cards of Hiroshi's, three framed photos, and a computer he used. The first photo was taken during their honeymoon; the second photo was taken when Hiroshi went diving some time ago; the third photo was taken within the family. As Takako explained in her note, the man who was standing beside her husband when diving was his coworker, Nishimura. And the man who appeared in the family photo was his younger brother, Ryu. When Kogoro opened Hiroshi's computer, he saw that the background wallpaper was a bunch of sharks. And when he went through the browser history, what he found were an online cruiser store, luxury cars, luxury watches, and cottages with an aquarium. After knowing some information related to Hiroshi, Kogoro decided to start the investigation at least.

Hiroshi worked for an apparel firm, therefore, Kogoro and Conan visited there. However, the front desk lady uttered that there isn't anybody in the firm called Hiroshi Nakajima, which forced Kogoro to consult Hiroshi's coworker who appeared in that diving photo. Nishimura was still at work and wore a grey suit and a red tie, looking rather formal. He also equipped a ball-like earring with a redish colour. What he said chocked both of them... Hiroshi quit the firm six months ago already! Although he was quite close to Hiroshi, he still had no idea what had happened to him. Just as Kogoro and Conan were leaving the firm building, the front desk lady secretly approached Kogoro and told him the truth. She actually saw in the scenario how Hiroshi insisted on quitting the company and scolded how exploitative his boss is. Kogoro still did not get any decisive information for the case, but Conan hinted to him that there were still two people that they could contact with: the dive shop owner and Hiroshi's younger brother Ryu. Kogoro phoned the owner of that dive shop "Ocean Blue", Isao Yamauchi. He said that he remembered Hiroshi and claimed that he used to work for the dive shop, and also about how keen he was on sharks. Nevertheless, he stopped going there four years ago due to the high cost of diving, as he only got to spend 2000 yen per month. After that, they reached Hiroshi's brother, Ryu. He discloed about how Takako is strict with her husband Hiroshi, that she only deploys 2000 yen for Hiroshi to spend every month; and that whenever Hiroshi went out, he was also forced to share photos and contact her every two hours, and that was only the tip of the iceberg for all the rules she set for Hiroshi.

Despite the fact that Hiroshi had quit his job six months ago, his wife Takako did not believe it. Since she had installed GPS on his phone to track Hiroshi's activity at all times, And she did not notice anything queer from six months ago until the present. He went to his firm, arrived at home timely, and deposited his salary money as usual. The GPS also indicated that Hiroshi was always inside his office at the firm. While Kogoro was still scratching his head to solve the mystery, Conan had already figured out the location where Hiroshi had been staying for the past six months. Owing to the display of the GPS, it would always be on a 2D map, it would only tell you the location but not the altitude.

Accordingly, the place where Hiroshi stayed after he quit his job must be in the exact same place as his office, but on a different floor. When Kogoro and Conan visited the firm building, Conan realised that the basement of the building was rented out. Therefore, he could boldly deduce that Hiroshi was in the basement of that building. When they got there, what first came into their sight was a huge aquarium, along with some fish and sharks swimming briskly inside. In front of the aquarium, they found a camera that was being supported by a tripod, alongside a broken phone. The film inside the camera recorded everything Hiroshi did after he got unemployed. He explained how he longed for having a secret basement filled with aquariums,  how he reinforced the room to fit the aquarium and fish, and, most important matter... how he managed to get the money to do so. He in fact put all of his allowance money from every month towards the year-end lottery, and luckily, he won one billion yen last year! After some deep contemplations, he then decided to pursue his dream and spend all the money towards the construction of his dream aquarium.

This also matched the fact that he loved seeing hammer-head sharks. After seeing the little film, Kogoro and Conan fully understood what Hiroshi was doing in this basement. Without his wife's acknowledgement, he built the palace of his dreams. However, just at the same time, Conan noticed a floating corpse inside the aquarium. And when they looked closely, it was... Hiroshi Nakajima. Kogoro called the police immediately, and Conan saw a shiny ball that remained on the bottom of the aquairum.
