Detective Conan Episode 1147: Stakeout 4

Summary

Case Closed

Case Closed, known as Meitantei Conan (名探偵コナン?, lit. Great Detective Conan, officially translated as Detective Conan) in Japan, is a Japanese detective manga series written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama. The series is serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly Shōnen Sunday since February 2, 1994, and has been collected in 73 tankōbon volumes as of September 2011. Due to legal considerations with the name Detective Conan, the English language release was renamed Case Closed.[1] The story follows the adventures of Jimmy Kudo, a prodigious young detective who was inadvertently transformed into a child after being poisoned.

Since its publication, Case Closed has spawned a substantial media franchise. The manga has been adapted into an ongoing animated television series by Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation and TMS Entertainment; the animated series has reached its twentieth season. The series has spawned three original video animation series, fifteen animated feature films, three live action dramas, one live action series, numerous video games, and many types of Case Closed-related merchandise. A two-hour television special titled Lupin the 3rd vs Detective Conan was aired on March 27, 2009, and featured a crossover with the series Lupin III.

Funimation Entertainment licensed the anime series for North American broadcast in 2003 under the name Case Closed with the characters given Americanized names. The anime premiered on Cartoon Network as part of their Adult Swim programming block and was discontinued due to low ratings. The first six films were released on Region 1 DVD in North America. Viz Media later licensed the manga series for English-language publication in North America and used Funimation's renamed title and cast. As of July 2011, 39 volumes have been published by Viz Media.

Compilation volumes of the manga have sold more than 120 million copies in Japan. In 2001, the manga was awarded 46th Shogakukan Manga Award in the shōnen category. The anime adaptation has been well received and ranked in the top twenty in Animage's polls between 1996 and 2001. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, Case Closed often ranked in the top six. Both manga and anime have had positive response from critics for its plot and cases.

Plot

Jimmy Kudo is a 17-year-old high school prodigy who frequently helps the police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is attacked by two criminals, codenamed Gin and Vodka, from the syndicate called the Black Organization. They force him to ingest an experimental poison, APTX 4869, which is supposed to kill him, and leave him to die. A rare side-effect of the poison, however, transforms Kudo's body into that of a child instead of killing him.

Adopting the pseudonym Conan Edogawa, Kudo hides his identity to investigate the Black Organization. He intends to pretend to be a child until he can find enough evidence to apprehend the syndicate, after which he can then safely find and administer a cure for his current condition. Edogawa enrolls at Teitan elementary school and forms the Junior Detective League with three other children in his class: Amy Yoshida, Mitch Tsuburaya, and George Kojima. To further cover up his activities, he moves in with his childhood friend Rachel Moore, whose father, Richard, works as a private investigator. Kudo continues to solve criminal cases as Conan, but usually poses as Richard Moore with the help of special gadgets invented by his neighbor and friend, Hiroshi Agasa.

Shiho Miyano, a member of the Black Organization and creator of APTX 4869, tries to leave the syndicate after her sister's murder, but is held captive by them. She attempts to commit suicide by ingesting APTX 4869; however, like Kudo, she is transformed into a child. She manages to escape and enrolls in Conan's school under the pseudonym, Anita Hailey. She joins the Junior Detective League and assists Conan in his investigations on the Black Organization. Conan's quest has led him to help the FBI to plant a CIA agent, Kir, inside the Black Organization as an undercover spy.

In 2007, Aoyama hinted he had the ending planned out but he has no intention of ending the series yet.

Episode 1147: Stakeout 4

Scenario: On Beika Amusement Park's final day before indefinite closure, the Detective Boys visit it for one last time. One hour before the closure, the Detective Boys get on the Ferris Wheel and spot Takagi and Chiba in the park's security control room. After entering the room, they find Takagi and Chiba dressed as security guards and conducting a stakeout. Without any other choice, Takagi explains the case behind the reason for the stakeout.

Six years ago, two thieves conducted a robbery on a nearby jewelry store.

The main culprit of the robbery was identified as a man named Ippei Kanieda, but he died in a traffic accident the next day.

Strangely, no jewels were found in Ippei's home. The amusement park was where Ippei was working part-time as a student and is near the site of the traffic accident where he died. So, the jewels are thought to be hidden somewhere in the amusement park. The police also identified Ippei's accomplice as "Ebishima" (an alias), whom Ippei met over a criminal website. "Ebishima" was likely waiting for the statute of limitations to expire before they would come retrieve the jewels. However, since the park had announced its closure, they would have to collect the jewels before the amusement park was demolished. Up until the final day before closure, the police have found no movement in the stolen goods market, so it is almost certain that "Ebishima" would have to show up on this final day.

Conan deduces that the jewels would have to be hidden in concealed places, which eliminates all places in the park except for the employee-only areas. Not long afterward, a retired, now volunteer security guard named Hisao Yamagata enters one of the areas. Because he is a security guard, he is not suspected by Takagi, who is monitoring from the security room. However, in a panoramic video that Haibara takes of the employee-only area, Conan notices a suspicious-looking vent where the vent itself is rusted, but the bolts holding the vent are not. At the same time, a woman named Kanako Sakuramachi lost her 5-year-old daughter, Hiroko, and a mysterious Baker Eats delivery man named Daiki Nagasaki appears. A single shoe of Kanako's daughter is found in front of one of the employee-only areas. Meanwhile, since Daiki was instructed to deliver some hamburgers to the employee-only area next to the spinning cups, he enters the second employee-only area. Kanako, wanting to find her child as soon as possible, enters a third employee-only area, and so, three different people have entered each of the employee-only areas, making all of them suspects.

Chiba along with his faulty Police ID.

To add to the chaos, "Ebishima" suddenly calls the security room to announce that they have planted bombs in the amusement park. Right after, multiple smoke bombs were detonated, though they did not cause any casualties.

The bombs were only smoke bombs, and thankfully, there were no casualties.

After the string of smoke bomb explosions, Daiki is suddenly instructed to deliver the hamburgers to Beika Station instead, and the second shoe of the lost girl is found near the Ferris wheel, next to a drinking fountain. At the drinking fountain, Mitsuhiko finds that the back panel of the fountain was removed, while Conan discovers some small prints in the flowerbed behind the fountain. Also, Genta finds Hisao collapsed in one of the employee-only areas. Hisao is seen trying to open the suspicious-looking vent that Conan spotted earlier. But Conan has already solved the case.
