Episode 1173: It's a Ghost!

Scenario: There have been rumors about a ghost appearing around the TOMO restaurant area for the past two weeks, and that ghost appears again tonight at the rooftop of that restaurant in front of the Detective Boys and a college student who just moved in to live with an old woman named Motoko Kanazawa two weeks ago, Mami Mamiya. Kanazawa tells the Detective Boys and Mamiya that she has also been receiving suspicious calls ever since Mamiya moved in. And when Mamiya is about to see the Detective Boys off, numerous footprints are seen outside the accommodation where she and Kanazawa share.

The Detective Boys take Haibara and Conan to join in with Mamiya at TOMO restaurant so that the two could help them solve the mysteries on the next day. However, there is no result for now as a staff member named Haru Miyake tells them that there is no way to go to the rooftop of the restaurant, while the chef says they have never heard of any rumour like that. Later, the group decides to go to Kanazawa’s accommodation for further investigation, with Conan and Haibara arriving there for the first time and saying hello to the old lady.

In the afternoon at the residence, we learn that Kanazawa was a former chef of a very famous restaurant, and she owns a secret recipe book that Conan saw earlier when he was trying to look inside the window. Both of the above explain why Kanazawa cooks so well, but she also has to deal with people wanting to have a look at that recipe book. Kanazawa's desk phone suddenly rang, which is quite strange as it is just the afternoon. She decides to answer in hope that the people won’t disturb her further just for the recipe, but there is no one answering the call. Suspicions about who made the call turns to scammers when Kanazawa reveals that she had helped the police solve a scam aiming toward her.

So they return to the restaurant and learn how the ghost even appears in the first place, and decide to have Genta and Mamiya pursue the man behind the ghost. Later that day, the two notice a man with suspicious behaviour that turns out to be a door-to-door flyer distributor, Genta also smells something that is familiar with him inside the accommodation. Meanwhile, Conan, Ayumi, Haibara, and Mitsuhiko are wondering why the two have gone so long when a sound nearby catches their attention. It turns out that Miyake took fall damage whilst trying to see why the chef came down from the ladder to the rooftop as he did hear rumours about the ghost. At the same time after Conan goes to the rooftop to check again, Mamiya asks the boys where Genta went as he stated that the beef stew cooked by Motoko felt similar to one from TOMO restaurant. It appears that the chef is the one behind everything, except for the scam, and Genta is in danger as he knew this after tasting that stew. Will the boy be safe?
