Episode 173: The Revival of the Dying Message (Part 2)

Scenario: Bloody marks are discovered at and near the crime scene. Conan puts Kogoro to sleep to reveal that the culprit imitated the fireworks noise by blowing into a 5 yen coin, making people believe the fireworks started early. The killer is revealed to be Izumi Sano and the ”S” is not the real code, but the “K.I.X.” was. Chihiro was killed instantly as she was shot through her heart. K.I.X is the special code for Kansai Int’l Airport, located in Izumisano, Japan. She wrote the “S” on the wall after killing Chihiro with her own shotgun, using reverse psychology as the basis of her methods. As evidence, the blades of Izumi’s skates have traces of Chihiro’s blood on them. Izumi confesses with revenge as her motive for a deceased friend whose fatal accident was really a suicide, caused by Chihiro’s lies. The next day, Ran receives a new phone from Shinichi in the mail. The murder trick is revealed.

Episode 171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness (Part 2)

Scenario: Conan establishes that Yoshiteru was murdered and finds several clues missed by the police including a broken piece of a vase. Mitsu suffered a small cut and Hikaru burnt herself. Conan, through Kogoro, announces his experiment to solve the case, however, it is actually a trap to catch the killer, Yoko Araide. Conan deduces that Yoko flashed her pin light in Yoshiteru’s face so he wouldn’t see her sliding the razor into the bathtub. Hikaru flipped the breaker back on, thus killing Yoshiteru, as planned by Yoko. Prior to the murder, Hikaru broke another vase and hid it out of fear of being fired. Mitsu stepped on a shard on the second floor, and Tomoaki was held by Ran during the situation, leaving Yoko the only one with ample opportunity to commit the murder. Yoko confesses that her friend Chaiki was married to Yoshiteru but committed suicide due to his infidelity. She would then marry him to exact her revenge. Conan requests Yoko to bend the truth to spare Hikaru from knowing she is the actual cause of her employer’s death. After the case, Ran asks Tomoaki for his sweater so she can knit a similar one for Shinichi.

While Kogoro, Megure, and Takagi test all possible scenarios, Conan discovers several clues missed by the police and adds them up to the solution of the case. And as usual, he stuns Kogoro to use him as a mouthpiece to deliver his conclusions. But poor Tomoaki vehemently protests the questionings, claiming that none of his family could have done such a thing...!

Episode 170: The Blind Spot in the Darkness (Part 1)

Yoshiteru Araide leaves to take his habitual bath before dinner. A blackout occurs while Yoshiteru Ariade is in the bath. The maid Hikaru Yasumoto resets the circuit breaker once, and then once again when the lights go back out. Yoko Araide and Hikaru go to check on Yoshiteru... and find him dead in the full bathtub, with a submerged electric razor.

Scenario: Conan detects a change in Ran’s behavior and speculates that she may have something going on. Kogoro, on the other hand, takes them to his doctor Yoshiteru Araide’s house for a checkup. There, they meet the doctor, his wife Yoko, his mother Mitsu, and son, Tomoaki Araide, with who Ran seems smitten by. The maid, Hikaru, breaks a vase and is warned by Yoshiteru that she’ll be fired if she does it again. During dinner, Yoshiteru takes a bath and a black out occurs and another vase breaks. Hikaru flips the breaker on, and she and Yoko find Yoshiteru dead with his electric razor in the bathtub. Alibis and suspect locations are checked but Conan can’t bring himself to concentrate on the case as Tomoaki and Ran are seen drawing closer to each other.

Conan as Shinichi calls Ran but she's got something do and someplace to go. Conan muses that Ran must have something going on, something that's making her happy with anticipation.

Next, Kogoro Mouri gets Ran and Conan in the car and drives them to the office of his doctor, Yoshiteru Araide, who had insisted that he bring his family. While they're all in the doctor's home-based office, Ran asks the doctor's wife to use their bathroom. On the way there, she bumps into the doctor's young, altruistic, brilliant and very handsome son; she knocks a sheaf of papers from his hands, and experiences a significant touch from his hand to the top of hers when picking up the papers.

Later, after accepting an invitation to dinner there, both Kogoro and the doctor's wife Yoko cheerfully suggest that the son, Tomoaki Araide, and Ran marry. Logically, Conan gets jealous BIG time! However, Yoshiteru gets electrocuted to death when taking a bath.

Conan is quick to discover the cause for Dr. Araide's death: his electric razor has fallen into the filled tub, electrocuting him. Though it seems that Dr. Araide must have dropped the razor himself, Conan notices that some things don't quite add up: Why was Dr. Araide sitting with his back to the mirror mounted at the end of the bathtub when he was shaving? And where did Hikaru get the burn mark on her arm? But what distracts Conan from the case is that Ran and Tomoaki seems strangely drawn to each other, and a disconcerting thought dawns inside him: Could Ran have become interested in Tomoaki now? He is a rather handsome and popular fellow, after all ...

Few days ago, Negishi committed suicide by hanging. But Nobukazu suspects murder.

Heiji and Kazuha take a motorcycle ride to the Yonago mountains of the Tottori prefecture, but they get lost in their way there. Kazuha remarks on how they forgot their cellphones and have run out of gas, and Heiji yells at her (and childishly pulls on her cheek) for tagging along when it isn't needed. It turns out Heiji was hired for a nice amount of money by a rich Tottori family to investigate some odd things that have happened in their home, but didn't give him their phone number.

The two are close to the forest and don't have camping gear handy, so Heiji says they should just plop down and sleep close together to keep each other warm. Kazuha is flustered at the idea and then gets angry when Heiji adds that he hopes she won't snore... and them someone appears from behind them and teases them about how couples shouldn't fight. It's an American man named Robert Taylor who is fluent enough in Japanese to understand their banter and acts very familiar towards the two; he mentions a Takeda family that housed him some years ago, and Heiji and Kazuha recognize their surname as the one of the family that hired Heiji... but he's lost, so he cannot really help them to get to their mansion.

After the dinner, Nobakazu goes to the shed to make some puppets, but when they discover that Nobukazu was not sleeping they search for him and so hanging on the shed. Heiji reveals that it is murder because there is no such thing as spider's curse.

A van passes around and, to call up the attention of the people in it, Heiji throws his helmet towards them... The driver's compantion turns out to be Kogoro, who gets hit and gets VERY mad at Heiji. Ran and Conan are also with him and they give Heiji, Kazuha and Robert a ride to the Takeda property. It turns out Kogoro was also hired by the Takedas, and for a very high sum of money as well, even sending out one of the family members, third son Yuuzo, to pick the group up in their van. He and Heiji discuss how the cards they also got from the family are rather odd and refer to a "spider". Yuzo Takeda explains that this about a "spider curse" that has befallen the Takeda family and their home, known as the "Spider Mansion of Tottori", one that no criminal should get close to. Yuzo then talks to Robert, whom he remembers from the time he was in Tottori. They talk about a girl named Misa, but Yuzo doesn't reply when he asks about her well-being.

When the group arrives to the Takeda household, Robert is devastated to learn that Misa, who had taken care of him in his last visit, killed herself by hanging few after his departure. Her mother Kinuyo and the family friend/associate Akio Negishi also commited suicide in a similar way. The one who relays the news is Youko, Yuzo's sister in law, who has just come from Tokyo alongside her husband Ryuuji and their kids Sae and Emi; Negishi was the business partner of Nobukazu Takeda, a famous doll-maker and Misa's father, as well as the one who actually hired Kogoro.

Nobukazu is surprised to see that Kogoro has brought several people with him, and he makes Heiji, Kazuha and Conan pass off as Ran's friends. He then talks briefly to Robert, who thanks him for letting him stay around some time ago. The twin girls Sae and Emi also arrive, but when Robert greets them cheerfully, they quietly call him "murderer" and accuse him of coming to kill people again before their mom scolds them and run away. The matriarch of the family, Chie, also watches them from a distance.
