Case

Situation

Part 1

Conan's class finds a wallet containing a message from Ran, who left it ten years ago. Conan shares the story of how it got there by explaining adventure he had in the past. Ten years ago, Shinichi and Ran enter the school at night to investigate the rumors of a ghost. They run into a mysterious man who claims to be Shinichi's younger brother and who challenges them in a treasure hunt; He then hands them a wallet with a letter containing the message "Quell the anger of Haido" in kanji. "Quell the anger" is pronounced the same as "Drop the anchor", the riddle refers to Haido Port. The pair finds another riddle hidden on a fire hydrant which contains the message "Clear the allegations against Toriya and demolish the liver of Goroukou" in kanji. Conan reveals that clearing the allegation is to prove innocent meaning to prove White (白 ,Shiro) which refers to the word Castle (城 ,Shiro) meaning Toriya castle. Goroukou is a reference to Mito Kōmon (水戸黄門 ). Destroying the liver means destroying the middle, so removing the middle kanji of Mito Kōmon yields Suimon (水門 , lit. Flood Gates). The pair finds the next clue near a railroad track by floodgates of Toriya Castle: the message on the riddle is "Erase this Mark. With a raspy voice, endure loneliness."

Part 2

Shinichi solves the riddle and heads to the school and finds the next riddle on a stop sign. The letter contains a mixture of kanji, and mahjong symbols and when read, pronounces Beika City Hall. Once there, Shinichi finds a sign on a pole with the message "S → W". Shinichi presumes it means the sunset and assumes his father created the riddle for his entertainment, with the cooperation from the mysterious man. Shinichi and Ran waited for the mysterious man to show up but never met him again.

Back in present time, Kobayashi and the Detective Boys remarked that the last clue was really disappointing and seemed redundant: it was just a simple "S → W" message, and to point to the sunset it sufficed to use "W" alone. Conan suddenly realized his deduction years ago was wrong.

Back in the present time, Conan realizes what the riddle actually means. Conan writes down the symbols for port, castle, flood gate, post office, middle school, and city hall. It is revealed that even if "S → W" could mean South to West, when the symbols are turned 90 degrees, they mean 'ox hide' in english letters. Conan rips open the leather wallet which reveals a message for Yusaku Kudo from the original Phantom Thief Kid, a single question mark. In the past, Yukiko Kudo has dinner with Toichi Kuroba and hands him a letter from Yusaku. It contains a single exclamation mark, revealing that Yusaku received Toichi's message and implying that he knows Kid's true identity.
