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.

Genre

Great Detective Conan is written in the classic detective genre, with classic layout of the murders in the house, and there are countless cases suspect. Covers the way the case was argued solving very typical of the classic text adventure.

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.

0 Detective Conan Episode 1155: Follow Them! Detective Taxi 2

Episode 1155: Follow Them! Detective Taxi 2

Scenario: Every ten years, a so-called "Jewelry Washing Festival" is held at Tsubaki Shrine. Jewels that are washed by the water in the shrine's well will supposedly shine brighter and their value will increase. With such great outcomes, only wealthy people, jewelry store owners, and luxury car owners come to the festival as participants. One participant, named Yoko Matsuda, comes to the shrine for this festival, and her driver is none other than "Detective Taxi" Genki Ishikawa. As Ishikawa looks at the various luxury cars of other participants, he notices a suspicious-looking duo taking pictures of those cars, and decides that a case is abound.

Ishikawa noticed this duo are secretly taking pictures of the "Jewelry Washing Festival" participant's cars for unknown purpose.

After dropping off Matsuda at the festival, Ishikawa head straight to Mouri's Detective Agency to inform him of the issue. He invites Kogoro to join him, but Kogoro turns down Ishikawa's request, citing that Ran's request of making sandwiches for Conan is more important. Ishikawa decides to investigate the situation by himself, but before he leaves, Kogoro gives him half of a sandwich which Kogoro messed up. Ishikawa eats Kogoro's sandwich on the way back to the shrine. But as soon as Ishikawa comes back to Tsubaki Shrine to investigate the suspicious duo, he hears a scream and rushes into the shrine grounds. He finds Matsuda to have passed out on the ground. When Matsuda wakes up, however, she screams again, and Ishikawa is then knocked out by an unknown person from behind.

Back at the detective agency, Kogoro and Conan are eating their sandwiches (with Conan noting that Kogoro has put too much ketchup) when they hear a TV news report of a robbery that had taken place at Tsubaki Shrine. This prompts Kogoro and Conan to rush to the shrine and investigate what happened. Upon getting to the shrine though, they find the police leaving and after asking the shrine maid of what happened, the shrine maid confirms that it was only an attempted robbery.

According to Yoko Matsuda. Her diamond was supposedly stolen from her, as she was the last person to came and wash the jewelry. But, in the end, they find out it was in a bucket around the well that was used for washing jewelry. She seems embarrassed when she left after she was question by the police.

But no one has seen a taxi driver named Genki Ishikawa, even though a taxi is still parked by the shrine. Kogoro confirms that this is Ishikawa's taxi, and after he opens the trunk of the taxi, Ishikawa is found tied up.
After Ishikawa finds Matsuda passed out on the ground and comes over to wake her up, she screamed again. Ishikawa was then hit on the head by an unknown person, tied up, and put inside his taxi's trunk. His mouth has a red-colored mark that looks like blood.
