Episode 1027: Beyond the Curtain
Scenario: Dr. Agasa, Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi were having dinner at a restaurant on the third floor of a building in the city. As they sit looking out, they see through the curtains of an apartment building across the street a man and a woman who look like they are having a friendly party. Then it changes to a woman being attacked by a man. The four panic and call the police, but the only people in the room where they saw the shadow are a woman named Yuko Kokubu, who seems to be the owner of the house, and her dog. The policeman who checked the room also said that there was only a woman in the room, so they were not taken seriously. Motota, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi visit Conan to discuss this matter. They all saw the same silhouette, but Motota thought it looked like a detective interrogating a suspect, Mitsuhiko thought it looked like a couple about to propose, and Ayumi thought it looked like an old man and an old woman playing in the sun. Conan, who was listening to the story, came to a conclusion.
Conan and his friends come to Yuko's apartment again, accompanied by Detective Takagi. Yuko is not in her room, and there is no sign of her dog, which she said she kept. However, there were bloodstains that had been wiped away, broken plates in the trash, and a cracked photo frame. A further search reveals a photo of Yuko with short hair, leading to the conclusion that the silhouette with short hair is Yuko and the victim is the one with long hair. Yuko let only the policeman into the room because she thought she could fool him by saying that a woman had been attacked by a man. However, he thought it was only a matter of time before he was found out, and he had already left the room with a large suitcase. Conan thinks that Yuko has decided that she can escape the police's pursuit as long as they don't find the body, and when he checks her social networking site, he finds that she is on her way to work as usual with the body.
Agasa and the Detective Boys are having dinner at a restaurant. Mitsuhiko notices silhouettes of two people sitting in front of each other from the apartment across the restaurant and tells the others. The man approaches the woman and seemingly want to kiss her. However, the man suddenly starts attacking the woman.
A police officer quickly arrives at the scene. From the intercom, the woman admits that she is living with a large dog and what the Detective Boys saw was the dog playing with her. To confirm this, the officer asks the woman's permission to look around, but she only permits the police to come alone. The police later confirmed that only the woman is living there and nothing happened.
The next day, the Detective Boys go to Detective Agency to ask Conan about the case. They explain what happened and how the couple looked from their perspectives. They later argue and Mitsuhiko mentions that they've got everything backwards. Hearing that, Conan thinks again about the case and realizes what actually happened.
