Episode 1093: Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Part 1)
Scenario: Face, dark, Sherry, organisation, betrayal, Gin, pursuers, and Rum... These words came from aimless conversations liaising together within Haibara's mind, which struck her with fear, worry, and timidity. Slowly, one hand from the abyss of darkness approached her shoulder. Haibara was horrified after the hand landed on her shoulder, it was in fact Conan. The Detective Boys were out on a morning, planning to see the new black rabbit that did not seem as energetic as they last saw it. After they arrived at the Teitan Elementary School, they saw that the black rabbit was feeling much better in comparison to their last visit. After greeting the two teachers who also appeared at their school on a Sunday, someone reached Haibara and inqured of her if she was Shiho Miyano, the younger sister of Akemi Miyano, This caught both Conan and Haibara off guard. After confirming, the person who asked about Haibara's name was actually a graduate of the school, who got there to celebrate a class reunion. There were three people in front of the Detective Boys: the man who asked about Shiho, Murata Sho, who used to be the class president, Gaku Yanagimachi, who used to be the class vice-president, and lastly, Seiko Ichihashi, who used to be the class secretary. It was obvious that they were Akemi's former classmates, they recognised Haibara as Shiho right away as Haibara matched the brown-hair girl who was standing beside Akemi in a photo that Akemi showed them. However, considering that it was thirteen years ago, they concluded that they must have mistaken Haibara for her.
The three of them decided to leave the rest of the old alumnus behind in classroom 6-A, who were organising everything for the reunion party. The three of them wanted to dig out the time capsule they buried before their graduation. They told the two teachers that Akemi was the one who buried those time capsules, and Mrs. Kobayashi said that she wrote the location on a piece of paper, which she handed to their teacher, Mr. Kunigami. When she took out the paper, the three of them reacted in astonishment. It was nothing obvious but a sophisticated code that said the following:
 |
| Librarian Miyano Akemi Show me a Monet Plane attack Artist don't go Doctor don't lie Don't burn charm 89 |
Before handing the note to Mr. Kunigami, Akemi claimed that there was a message for everyone and, most importantly, a message for her younger sister as well. The trio then insisted on going to look for the time capsule themselves, without the assistance of their other classmates who were inside the classroom. Conan also spoke for the Detective Boys, saying they would also help find the time capsule with them. Conan's intent was to find the message left by Akemi for Haibara before the others and secretly deliver it to her. They divided themselves into three searching groups: Haibara, Ayumi, and Conan would go with Murata; Mrs. Kobayashi and Mitsuhiko would go with Ichihashi; and Mrs. Wakasa and Genta would go with Yanagimachi. Conan thought that "Show me a Monet", must be connected to a Monet painting, and precisely, their principal loves the work of Monet. So they headed towards the principal's room, as there was usually a replica of Monet's work hanging on the office wall. Nevertheless, the painting on display that day was not Monet's work but instead Murata's work, which won the award. Conan did not find anything written on the back of the painting. In the nurse's office, Mitsuhiko was searching for clues in the sink because he surmised that "tell a lie" from "doctor don't lie" sounded like "tearai", which is the word sink. Unfortunately, he did not find anything near the sink. In the home economics room, Genta was admiring how cool Yanagimachi was for being a firefighter and having saved numerous lives, just like a hero. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wakasa was searching around the cookstove to find a match for the phrase "don't burn charm 89". Mrs. Wakasa mentioned that the music room was nearly caught on fire once, 14-15 years ago, which even resulted in the thousands of cranes in the room that were folded for the choral contest getting slightly burned. Yanagimachi recalled the scenario in which Akemi witnessed himself igniting the fire in the backyard of the school at that time.
After the search for time capsules failed, Mrs. Kobayashi proposed showing the code to the rest of the class for help. But they all acted very nervous after hearing the proposal and kept claiming that they were able to find it themselves. Therefore, their second investigation started off. They went to the principal's room once again for the sentence "Show me a Monet". The two teachers phoned the principal and informed him to check if there was anything written on the Monet painting that he had taken home. But the principal said there was nothing. Ichihashi thought that the clue might also be written on the wall, if it was not on the back of the painting. Finally, they really found a character on the wall. Which recorded the hiragana symbol "よ" (Yo), they got picked up and were determined to solve the rest of the code.
