Case

Part 1

One day, as Ayumi runs in the street, she hurts herself when she falls so a lady walking nearby, Saki Midorikawa, goes to help her and bring her home in her apartment to heal her and offers her orange juice. Ayumi thought she was nice. Saki then went to the window to smoke and look over the building in front of hers.

Accident
	Location: Beika City Victim: Driver Injury: Car crash After the Detective Boys leave Saki, they think about solving a case and just at the same moment, a car out of control parades in the street before crashing in the building next to the gym where Saki trains.

Attempted murder
	Location: Crossroad Victim: Saki Midorikawa Age: 28 years old Attack Types: Vehicle-Ramming Culprit: Michiyo Konno (Daihachi Numagaki) Just after going to the sports center, Saki returns home and waits at a streetlight before being pushed by Daihachi Numagaki and yells. The Detective Boys hear what happens and go help her. She nearly got ran over by a truck.

Murder

Location: Residential building Victim: Saki Midorikawa Age: 28 years old Cause of death: Falling from top of the building Suspects: Tatsuko Dojima, Junnosuke Tachibana and Michiyo Konno (Daihachi Numagaki) The next morning, Ogi is standing outside the building waving goodbye to residents and sees Dojima searching for something on the floor. As she says she hasn't find it, Saki's corpse fall from the top of the building before crashing down.

Part 2

The next day, the Detective Boys head to the crime scene and meet Megure, Takagi and Chiba who are intrigued by their presence. They also meet Naka Nakabayashi, who tells them she witnessed Saki being pushed by someone the day before but that she didn't know who it was and that she's had enough of crimes before leaving the scene. They also see Towa Akabane, who lives in room 202, who just returned from a trip and that sees the crime scene too before heading to her room in disgust. Tatsuko Dojima, who witnessed Saki falling asks the police to leave since she's exhausted and returns home. Tachibana and Konno also head home after visiting the crime scene thinking Midorikawa committed suicide. The Detective Boys explain the situation to the police and tell them she was most likely murdered and that there are three suspicious people who looked highly towards her. Megure agrees to visit the three to interrogate them and Ogi opens the automatic door for them. At Tachibana's room, they interrogate him to find out he received a threathening letter from Saki about not telling anything to the police which rises the police's suspicions before Tachibana reveals he's in fact bald and that he hides it under a wig. He tells he has an alibi since he was at the bar at the time the attempted murder was committed and that when he took off his wig in front of the bay window, Saki saw his bald head and sent him the letter the next day. Second suspect was Michiyo Konno who reveals to the police she's in fact a man named Daihachi Numagaki and that to avoid being arrested for murder, he'll reveal his criminal acts. He is the one who pushed her in the street but he didn't kill her and that Saki has seen him as a man through his window while he was drinking beer and taking off his disguise. He wanted to scare her so he pushed her to hide the fact he was pretending to be Michiyo Konno and that he was frauding the trading firm. He is arrested by the police for attempted murder and fraud and says he was at home when she was killed and that he also received the letter. He replies negatively as the police ask him if he drugged her before pushing her since sleeping pills were found in her body and tells that he didn't drug her. Genta then agrees that he must be the culprit but Conan wonders about the letter and the phone call. Ayumi adds that Saki must have seen the culprit's secrets while she was over since after all she said: "So, they seem to have a friend over!". Conan asks what friend it might be and Mitsuhiko thinks that maybe Saki thought Daihachi was someone else since he was dressed in a different way. At the same time, a police car comes and Towa Akabane heads out of the building running towards the cops and yeling that she's the one from room 202 who called for the police and that she was robbed while she was travelling and that all her jewels were gone when she returned. Conan remebers the lady passing in front of the crime scene and thinks about the friend Saki mentionned which make him deduce something and he runs to Saki's apartment with the rest of the Detective Boys behind.

Robbery
	Location: Building Victim: Towa Akabane Age: 26 years old Robbed Items: Jewelry Suspects: Residents of the building Saki had been robbed all her jewels while travelling and her apartment had been ransacked.

Blackmail
	Location: Beika Victim: Tatsuko Dojima, Michiyo Konno and Junnosuke Tachibana Age: 43 years old (Tatsuko), 24 years old (Michiyo), and 33 years old (Junnosuke) Time: 3 years ago until now Culprit: Saki Midorikawa Saki blackmailed people she's seen from the window since three years ago to pay off her boyfriend's death.

When they arrived to the apartment, Hiroe Omori, the landlady, led them in with Takagi also. From the balcony of Saki's room in her apartment, Conan notices he can see all the apartments of the residential building ending with "2" and sees Akabane in her room talking with the police. The Detective Boys then conclude Saki must have seen the thief of Akabane since she doesn't work in the morning. Haibara notices the apartment is rather simple for someone blackmailing people and Ayumi sees a picture frame with someone holding Saki, probably her boyfriend. They learn from the landlady that the boyfriend left Saki three years ago because he couldn't leave out of his debts and left them to Saki. Conan realizes she started blackmailing people because she wanted to pay off her boyfriend's debts and that was why she lived rather modestly. Omori also says that Saki always believed her boyfriend would return to her someday and believed in him. She started to sit in the window so she'll be there to see him come back and always look everywhere around to see him return one day. Conan asks Omori if she had told anyone else and she says she had told a female detective about it last night and that that detective asked her to tell her all about it since her investigation about Saki was important. Cona then realizes who killed Saki and asks Takagi to return to the building so he'll expose the truth.

• Jun'nosuke Tachibana's name is just like the one from his voice actor Shin'nosuke Tachibana, although the character 淳 for Jun is different (慎 stands for Shin).
• The store TMS Mart where Saki enters is named after TMS entertainment, the main promoter of Detective Conan.
• The truck that almost ran over Saki Midorikawa is a white Hino 700 Series. The license plate is 新宿 100, い 87-46 (Shinjuku 100, I 87-46).
• One of the police cars parked in front of the building is the same as in The High School Girl Trio's Secret Café.
