Case 1:

Situation

When Conan's glasses are taken off while he's asleep, Ran sees his face clearly and begins to suspect that he might be Shinichi. Her suspicions become stronger when she finds an old picture of them as children with a famous magician named Motoyasu Tsukumo. However, she cannot confront Conan right away, Tsukumo's wife suddenly arrives to Kogoro's office and tells him, Ran and Conan that her husband has been murdered! She also has some suspects in mind: specifically, his three disciples and prospect successors.

As Ran carefully watches Conan decipher clues, she becomes more convinced he is Shinichi. Is there some way to reverse this discovery?

Murder (Past)
	Location: Tsukumo household Victim: Motoyasu Tsukumo Cause of death: Potassium cyanide poisoning Suspects: Yuji Momochi, Mako Miyoshi, and Kazumi Sanada

Conan helps Kogoro solve his case without even having to knock him out, but after wards Ran escorts him to Shinichi's house for a confession of him being Shinichi. But Ran shows strong intuition about his personality, and it makes Conan look wary for a no way out situation.

When Shinichi's mom appears on the scene, Conan is worried thinking that Yukiko might slip about his identity. However, she told Ran a complex but convincing story about why Conan's behavior is similar to Shinichi's, helping him escape suspicion. Ran thought for some time but finally apologized to Conan for treating him that way. They were about to go back but Yukiko requested Ran to let her keep Conan for a few days since she'll be living for a while in Japan all alone. Yukiko thereafter starts to treat Shinichi as a real baby and even carried him into their house, but why has she left America for Japan?

The killer was Mako Miyoshi, whose real name was Mako Kinoshita. She was the younger sister of Yoshirou Kinoshita, a promising stage magician who drowned on-stage 14 years ago when he tried an escape trick that went horribly wrong, but said death actually was a murder committed by his mentor Tsukumo, who was jealous and fearful of Yoshirou's raw talent.

Murder (Past)
	Location: Party hall Victim: Yoshirou Kinoshita Age: 20 years old Time: 14 years ago Cause of death: Drowning Culprit: Motoyasu Tsukumo Motoyasu Tsukumo killed Yoshirou Kinoshita because of jealousy. Motoyasu tampered with Yoshirou's handcuffs, so that when he attempted to perform a water escape trick, he was unable to free himself and drowned.

When Yoshirou Kinoshita was 20, he became famous. Motoyasu tampered with Yoshirou's handcuffs, so that when he attempted to perform a water escape trick, he was unable to free himself and drowned. Young Mako Kinoshita, who just turned 7, had observed him tampering backstage, but she was too young to properly testify. The murder was ruled an accident. Mako studied magic so that she could become Motoyasu's understudy and get revenge for her brother. What Mako didn't know was that Motoyasu knew her true identity and that she intended to murder him. Because Motoyasu remained calmly once Mako had him tied up and poisoned, Mako threatened to kill Ayano so she could see a genuinely frightened emotion from him. Mako couldn't bring herself to murder Ayano in the end because Ayano was truly innocent, although Mako admits she wanted to more than once.

Case 2:

Situation

Yukiko and Conan arrived in Gunma to meet her childhood friend, Hiromi Yabuuchi. After that, Hiromi introduces her uncle to Yukiko. Also, Hiromi's uncle has a friend named Carlos from Brazil. However, she has noticed some odd behaviors from her uncle, and since Yukiko also knows the old man from her and Hiromi's childhood times, Hiromi summoned her old friend to see if she can help.

With Yukiko calling Conan her second son to her friends outside the city, Conan must play along and act like he is a genius thanks to detective books. When a murder takes place and he can't figure out the answer, Conan must figure out if his mom will be safe or if she could be the next target.

The killer is Yoshifusa Yabuuchi, who actually is only impersonating the real Yoshifusa Yabuuchi, who died in Brazil years ago and was a good friend of his. The fake Yoshifusa is named Dickson Tanaka, a man born in Brazil to Japanese parents and Carlos' bodyguard, since young Carlos is the real Yoshifusa's son with a Brazilian woman as well as one of the heirs. Dickson Tanaka impersonated Yoshifusa, so the threats would be directed at him and made everyone believe Carlos was his bodyguard to protect him from the others (since they thought he was a bodyguard, they wouldn't attempt anything against Carlos), and he killed Machiko in self-defense when she attempted to stab him in the bath.

The person who set up the crossbow was Keiko Yabuuchi. She tried to scare Yoshifusa into going back to Brazil, because without him, her share of the inheritance would cover up her debts.

Machiko's aim in killing "Yoshifusa Yabuuchi" was to seize his supposed share of inheritance, not knowing that he wasn't the actual heir since up until then none of the potential heirs knew about the real Yoshifusa's death. (Yoshichika did know that his brother had died, but he didn't say anything about it save for signaling it in the tape that contained his until-then secret will.) She went to an urban party and gave a phone call to establish an alibi, then drove back in a car waiting for the opportunity to kill. She told Hiromi Yabuuchi in advance to rekindle the fire heating the rural hot-tub creating an opportunity where Yoshifusa could be isolated. She had the flower in her pocket with the intention to throw suspicious on her husband's former brother-in-law, who had accused the family of murdering his sister. Much to her misfortune, Dickson/Yoshifusa was a very skilled martial artist: when she tried to stab him in the bath, he blocked her attack and then redirected it, stabbing Machiko to death as a consequence.

The reason why he did come forward, was because he received two threatening letters. One from Machiko and one from Keiko. He couldn't leave Carlos alone until both threats were eliminated.

Some of these details are revealed by Shinichi/Conan's father Yusaku, who had followed Yukiko back to Japan and then snuck into the household. Conan himself helps by drugging up Inspector Yamamura and revealing the rest. Dickson accepts his part in Machiko's death and explains his role as Carlos's tutor and bodyguard, then surrenders quietly to the police.

After all is said and done, Yusaku properly reveals himself and goes to Yukiko. The other reason why she came alone was that they had a big fight in New York, and she shoots down several of his reconciliation attempts, much to Conan's embarrassment.

Continuity

• This is the second case that show's Ran considering the possibility that Conan is really Shinichi (the first being Once-A-Month Present Threat Case), though she retains suspicion after the end of the case up until The Desperate Revival.
• Ran identifies Kazumi Sanada as the magician hired to impersonate Kaitou Kid in episode 76 Conan vs. Kaitou Kid, despite the fact she had already been knocked out and replaced by Kid during his introduction.

Translation changes

Anime

• The names of the characters in the Funimation Dub are:

• Nanae Tsukumo - Nina Tathers
• Motoyasu Tsukumo - Carl Tathers
• Yuji Momochi - Wymer Mindle
• Mako Miyoshi (Real name: Mako Kinoshita) - Marvella Asundi (Real name: Marvella Plomthloyd)
• Ayano Tsukumo - Anya Tathers

• Machiko Yabuuchi - Marlena Xanderbilt

• In the Funimation Dub, the Yabuuchi Family Attorney is named Chauncey Shiflett.
• The dub also changed Keiko's motive for setting up the timed crossbow. Instead of attempting suicide, Keiko had set it up purposely to 'scare Yoshifusa off'.

Trivia

• This is the first episode to be digitally animated. However, the next episodes that will use digital animation will be episode 219, and later on, episode 263. Every other episode will still be animated traditionally until episode 284.
• A Goemon-buro is a large iron kettle shaped bathtub.
• Initially Conan looks to have Yukiko solve the case the same way Agasa did in Episode 63, where she just lipsyncs while Conan uses his voice changing bow tie, though she refuses to cooperate with his request, leading to him knocking out Yamamura instead. Later on in the series Yukiko would allow Conan to solve a case using the lipsyncing method. Additionally, Conan has gone on to knock out Yamamura 5 subsequent times to solve a case, most recently in Episode 1112.
