Case

Situation

Part 1

Conan and Agasa decided to bring a very sick Haibara to the clinic, but the clinic happened to be filled and they had to wait at least two hours before their turn. They then decided to first have lunch at a nearby shopping mall. At the car park of the shopping mall, they spot four porsches, with a drunk man sleeping in one of them. Later, Conan and Agasa meet Ran, Sonoko and Jodie at a restaurant while Haibara rested in Agasa's car. Conan noticed Jodie's suspicions when she heard Ran mention Haibara. He was then interviewed by a TV crew and decided to return to the car and bring Haibara away as he knew he could have been spotted by people from the Black Organization through television. However, when he returned to the car park, the man in the porsche was found dead, and Conan has to solve the case.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Kaoru Taiyama. She tied a fishing line around the victim's neck and his Porsche seat then attached it to her car's gear lever. With the power-window she could make the line taut and strangle the victim. She recovers the line using the rear end wheels of a model toy car. Megure questions him not hearing any sound but the toy car's batteries which run around 10 minutes should have already expired.

Murder (Past)
	Location: Cliff Victim: Taiyama's brother Cause of death: Car crash after falling Culprit: Yukiya Banba Banba race battle car on tonge curve, but yellow car is get plunged off from cliff.

Man #2
	Deceased (car accident) Kaoru Taiyama's brother

Taiyama confesses and says Banba was responsible for a car accident prank (tossing water) that caused her and her brother's Giallo Modena 1994 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta to be destroyed along with the latter's death. His supposed lack of regret for the prank drove her to kill.

After Conan solved the case, he rush back to Agasa's car but both of them have been disappered. Agasa tell him that they have back to Agasa’s house by Jodie's help. Araide and Jodie treats Haibara well. Shuichi Akai also overhears the conversation outside the house.

After that, Vermouth is shown in her room and she apparently knows where Sherry is.

Trivia

• Four Porsche in scene from left to right are Dark Green Porsche 356 A (Hotei), White 1965 Porsche 911 [901] (Kureko), Guards Red 1978 Porsche 928 (Banba), and Porsche Cobalt Blue Metallic 1997 Porsche Boxster [986] (Taiyama).
• Taiyama's brother Vehicle in past battle is Giallo Modena 1994 Ferrari F355 Berlinetta.
• The remote control toy car in box is Blue 1969 Porsche 911 S.
• This case is the first case that Haibara is sick.
• The photograph that Shuichi Akai had in his truck, was the very same picture that he had in the post-credit scene of Secret of the Tohto Film Development Studio.
• The Porsche's License Plates from left to right are Dark Green, 80-12 (Hotei), White, 40-07 (Kureko), Guards Red, 9-13 (Banba), and Cobalt Blue Metallic, 3-12 (Taiyama).
• Shuichi Akai is driving a pick-up truck with the license plate of 12-02.
• Although on Akai's truck television, it stated that the serial arsonist has yet to be apprehended, so either the media is left out of the loop in The Red Horse within the Flames case, or there is another one on the loose.
• This is the first time that Jodie heard Ai-chan's name, and also heard that she has a bad cold.
• This is the second case, where Conan winds up on TV, being interviewed by the media. The first time was The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages, after he disarmed a bomb.
• This is the first case that Dr. Araide sees Haibara.

  Show spoilers »

• This case revealed that Akai had Dr. Araide's phone tapped, since he was listening to Agasa's phone conversation with him.
• In the post scene, both Dr. Araide and Jodie are at Agasa's place, while the Doctor is looking after Haibara.
• Sometime off-screen, and probably while they are at Agasa's house, they both plant listening devices inside of Agasa's place. Although one of them probably wants to listen in on the other bug more than eavesdropping on just any conversation.
• Proof that BOTH of them planted some bugs in Professor Agasa's house was when Conan was on the phone with Agasa, and Akai was listening in on their conversation. Either, he is listening in on a newly placed bug, or it was Agasa's phone that was bugged earlier, and that seems to still be in the Professor's beetle, and Conan is on the earring cellphone.
