Case 1: Missing Older Brother Case

Situation

A new girl named Ai Haibara transfers into Conan's class. Conan is apathetic, but the rest of the Detective Boys are excited. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and Genta notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them she lives at Beika 2-chōme, 22-banchi, which Conan deduces is right near his house, but can't think of any candidate houses or apartments where a Haibara family has lived.

After school, the detective boys check Genta's locker where their detective group cases are received and Genta finds a request in his shoe. Ayumi tells Haibara to come along with them. The request is from a first grade boy named Toshiya asking the Detective Boys to find his high school aged brother who has been missing for a week. The Detective Boys, along with Toshiya and Haibara, investigate Toshiya's older brother's room. Conan notices the older brother's wallet is still in his drawer which rules out running away from home, and he also discounts kidnapping for extortion because kidnappers would have gone after Toshiya instead. The Detective Boys find the older brother's artwork which are copies of famous paintings. The fidelity is good, but not good enough to be used as forgeries. Conan takes interest in a portrait of Natsume Sōseki which had been in a city exhibition. Toshiya reveals that, before his brother disappeared, a woman in a hat wearing black had an interest in that portrait and approached Toshiya's older brother. Conan panics, thinking that this could be the work of Black Organization. Haibara observes Conan's sudden attitude change.

Missing Person-Kidnapping

Location:	Beika City, Tokyo
Victim:	Toshiya's older brother
Suspects:	Lady in black
Toshiya's older brother disappeared one week ago after telling his family he was going to a friend's house.

The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother without luck. The detective boys stop at a convenience story for drinks and Conan notices that a man wearing a black jacket and hat used a ¥1000 bill to pay for ¥330 cigarettes. Conan thinks that the transaction probably wasn't for change because the man could have also bought the same cigarettes at a vending machine outside faster. Conan grabs the bill from the startled cashier and notices it has no watermark; it's a counterfeit ¥1000.

Conan and the detective boys start following the man in black. The portrait on ¥1000 bills is Natsume Sōseki, so Conan explains that the man's counterfeit may have to do with Toshiya's brother's disappearance. In a fit of oblivious deductive monologue, Conan starts talking about the men in black shrinking his body in front of the detective boys. Conan cuts himself off quickly and says it was a joke, but Haibara took notice anyway. Conan decides to plant a tracker on the man in black. Conan tells the man he dropped a ¥1000 bill which he snatches from Conan without realizing a button transmitter was stuck to the bill. To keep them from danger, Conan ditches the detective boys by telling them he has something to do and they should look for Toshiya's brother tomorrow. Ai watches as Conan runs away...

Now alone, Conan tracks the bill to a vender where the man in black bought a ¥110 can of iced coffee. A janitor testifies that the man used a ¥500 coin to buy a train ticket which left him with at least 3 coins of change. Looking at the ticket prices, Conan deduces the man went to Daitoma station. Once there, Conan begins to question a local broker who may have rented a space big enough to print fake money. The broker then asks Conan if he is with the kids outside; the detective boys, Toshiya, and Haibara have been following Conan. Haibara was the one who predicted Conan might try to continue investigating alone and suggested they follow. Toshiya then describes a quick phone call his missing brother made; he said something about being with people like Sōseki. The broker tells the kids he rented a location by the local police post to a newspaper printing company two years ago and they recently got a new printer. The broker says the lady in charge favors wide brimmed hats. With this, Conan realizes the meaning of the hint that Toshiya's older brother said over the phone.

Resolution

Show spoilers »

Natsume Sōseki took his name from the proverb Sōseki Chinryu - "rinsing one's mouth with a stone and laying one's head on a pillow of flowing water." The proverb describes someone who would act the opposite of the people's expectations; a forgery outfit operating next door to a police post matches.

Conan and the rest of the children go to the local police station where the officers shrugs them off for watching too much TV. Conan then uses Shinichi's voice to call Megure and inform him of the situation. While Conan is making the call, the detective boys decide to infiltrate on their own accord. True to Conan's deduction, Haibara notices different paints that the counterfeiters tested.

Upstairs, the counterfeiters are forcing Toshiya's brother to draw the ¥10,000 bills (Yukichi Fukuzawa). One of the men keeping watch notices the snooping children over the closed circuit television. The older brother exclaims when he sees Toshiya on screen, and the head counterfeiter, the lady with the black hat, decide to come up with a plan. Conan realizes that the children are gone, asks the police where they went, and discovers they went into the hideout without him. Horrified, he chases after them. Elsewhere, Gin takes a call over the phone from Vodka about someone who escaped from the Black Organization. Gin orders Vodka to find that person dead or alive.

As Conan enters the building, he is caught at gunpoint by a bulky man. Upstairs, the head of the counterfeiters confronts the children, and plans to kill the children one by one to motivate Toshiya's older brother to work faster.

Attempted Murder

Location:	Beika City, Tokyo
Victim:	Toshiya's older brother, Toshiya Nakata, and Detective Boys
Culprits:	Lady in black, Inuyama and two Counterfeiters
The Lady in black and her Gang Prepare to Kill Them with their Guns.

Just as she is about to shoot Ayumi, Conan uses his shoes to knock the gun out of the lady's hand. He reveals that the counterfeiter's original artist had become injured, so they needed a replacement to finish the bills. They saw the older brother's painting of Sōseki and decided to kidnap him in order to finish the bills. Conan takes out the lady's two goons with pots of paint. Before the lady can reach for the gun, Haibara grabs it, takes a Weaver stance, and fires it just over the lady's shoulder, breaking the window behind her.

The sound rouses the police next door and they arrive and are shocked to find that the children were telling the truth after all. They call for back up and apprehend the counterfeiters. As they are hauled off, Conan asks the lead counterfeiter if she is part of a large organization with alcoholic code names. The lady doesn't seem to know what Conan is talking about. Megure reveals that she is the leader of a counterfeit group called the "The silver fox", and he then berates Haibara for firing a gun. Which causes Haibara to break down in tears, Megure seeing this immediately apologizes for being too hard on her.

Conan walks Haibara to her home, while she is still sobbing. On the way, Haibara's demeanor suddenly changes and she reveals to Conan that she's really Sherry, a former member of the Black Organization and creator of APTX 4869, the drug that shrunk both her and Shinichi. Haibara points out that her home address is actually Agasa's. Conan starts to call Agasa in a panic and he doesn't pick up. Haibara replies that's because he is not in this world anymore, implying that he’s 'dead'. Conan rushes over to Agasa's and finds the professor is completely well and jovial and that his line was busy because he was surfing the internet.

Conan demands an explanation as to why a member of the Black Organization is staying with Agasa. Agasa explains that she also took APTX 4869 which caused her to shrink into a child. Haibara adds that the professor adopted her after he found her passed out in front of Shinichi's house. She had been part of the Black Organization team that investigated Shinichi's house twice to ensure his death. She noticed Shinichi's childhood clothes went missing between investigations, and thus suspected he de-aged like one of her test mice did. She declared Shinichi deceased anyway because she didn't want the Organization to kill him before she could see him.

Haibara then explains that she betrayed the Organization because she didn't like that they were using her drug on people and because the Organization killed her sister and refused to explain the reason why. Sherry boycotted the drug's development, and was then locked up and scheduled to be executed because of her insubordination. She took an APTX drug that she had secretly pocketed hoping to commit suicide, instead she shrank which allowed her to free herself from the handcuffs, and then escape via laundry chute.

Attempted Suicide (Past)

Location:	Black Organization's gas chamber
Victim:	Shiho Miyano
Age:	18 years old
Cause:	APTX 4869 Poison
Shiho took APTX 4869 to commit suicide, but the drug's side effect triggered and shrunk her instead.

Haibara explains that she went to find Shinichi hoping he would lend her his aid, seeing as he was the only person who would understand her unique situation. However, Conan berates her angered at the fact that she didn’t seem to understand how much pain and suffering her drug had caused to so many innocent people. Agasa calms him down and Conan asks her if she can create an antidote for the drug, and she notes that she would need to go back to her lab. Conan tells her to tell him the location of the lab and he will get the info she needs himself.

However, Haibara states that there is no point she shows them a newspaper article of a Beika building that apparently burst into flames. That building was her lab, the Organization fearful of what she might leak, burned down the building her lab used to be in and began looking for her. Haibara asks if Conan will abandon or help her and he says that he will help her.
