A mysterious Mahjong tile next to the body links this case to six other homicide cases in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, Nagano, and other places in Japan.

• Conclusion

When the police arrive at a deserted Tohto Tower, Conan sneaks past them and confronts Mizutani, who confesses to the crimes and intends to commit suicide by poison.

Attack
	Location: Tohto Tower, Roppongi, Tokyo Victim: Ninzaburo Shiratori, Kansuke Yamato, Sango Yokomizo, Jugo Yokomizo, Ayami Ogino, and Kazunobu Chiba Attack Type: Bashed them from behind Culprit: Irish as Kiyonaga Matsumoto Irish Attacked 6 Cops from behind

Mizutani thought one of the seven must have pushed Nanako out of the elevator during the hotel fire, but Nanako's brother, Kazuki Honjou, shows up and testifies that she voluntarily stepped out. Conan reveals that the real murderer is Kazuki Honjou and not Mizutani because Mizutani would never commit murder to stain the memory of Nanako and his precious stars. However, Kazuki, obsessively fond of his younger sister, decided after her death to take revenge on all those who "took her away from him", including Mizutani, for merely self-satisfaction.

To this purpose, Kazuki tricked Mizutani to become a scapegoat by persuading him to take the blame for the revenge murders. The mahjong stones left at the murder scenes were deliberate clues to point the police investigation into Mizutani's direction, with the final stone pinpointing the location of Tohto Tower - a fact which both Conan and Kogoro have managed to deduce.

Attemped Murder
	Location: Tohto Tower, Roppongi, Tokyo Victim: Conan Edogawa and Kosuke Mizutani Injury: Stab wound Culprit: Kazuki Honjou The Culprit Ready to Kill Conan with Knife but Matsumoto shoot the Handgun to Protect

Kazuki threatens Conan and Mizutani with a knife, but then Matsumoto interferes and incapacitates Kazuki. Conan, however, realizes that Superintendent Matsumoto is Irish in perfect disguise. Irish claims that he doesn't want to kill Conan. He says he knows Conan's true identity but didn't tell anyone because he hates the Black Organization for killing his friend, Pisco. Conan wants the memory chip, but Irish refuses to hand it over.

Kidnapping
	Location: Abandoned cottage in Chiba Park, Chuo Ward, Chiba Hostage: Kiyonaga Matsumoto Culprit: Irish Irish locks Matsumoto in one of the cottage and drugs him to make him unconscious, so he could assume his identity.

Soon Ran arrives at Tohto Tower and finds Irish, who is still disguised as Matsumoto. She makes some good karate hits, but a kick to his face tore off part of his mask, thus surprising her. Irish uses this to his advantage and overpowers Ran.

Irish and Conan move outside near the top, and a helicopter with Gin, Vodka, Korn, and Chianti arrives. Irish shows them the chip, and Gin orders Chianti to shoot Irish and the chip. Seriously injured by the bullet, Irish is barely alive. Conan tries to drag him to safety, but Gin notices Conan and tries to shoot him. Irish protects Conan and dies.

Murder
	Location: Tohto Tower Victim: Irish Cause of death: Gunshot wound in Back Culprit: Chianti To save Conan, Irish becomes a shield for him.

The Black Organization attacks Conan with a machine gun, damaging the upper levels of Tohto Tower.

Attempted Murder
	Location: Tohto Tower Victim: Conan Edogawa Injury: Strike from Air to Kill Culprit: Gin

Cornered at the top, Conan escapes by attaching his expanding suspenders to a light to act as a bungee to jump off the tower. The light then slingshots back at the Black Organization's helicopter, damaging the engine. The Black Organization manages to fly away, but the helicopter crashes soon after.

When Conan is walking with Haibara through the woods to a boarded up house talking about the case, Conan mentions that Irish died before he told Conan where Matsumoto is and thanks to the Detective Boys that Matsumoto was found. Conan remembers Irish's last words: "Kudo Shinichi... Keep... Coming After Us..", before he replies in his mind that he will do what Irish wanted until the day he destroyed them, meaning he's got another reason to fight the Black Organization.

Trivia

• In the introduction, there is a brief scene showing Gin and Vodka confronting Akemi Miyano in a flashback. In this flashback, Gin was using his right hand to hold the gun as he had in the episode this scene was referring to, though it is known Gin is left-handed. This is the only other time Gin has been mistakenly portrayed as right-handed.
• According to the police report, the items Irish dumped out on the table were a pendant on a chain (Jinno), a small flower print bag tied at the top (Shizuko), a purple amulet bag (Masaaki), a black compact case (Azusa), a small brown snap bag as guitar accessory (Kozo), and a small tube of red paint (Sumire). It is unclear why Ryuzaki's mascot doll was not included. The memory card was found in the omamori bag, then the Black Organization NOC was the third victim.
• 'The Raven Chaser' grossed more than 3.5 billion yen.
• Tsutomu Ryuzaki's car that was involved in the accident is a 2006 Rosso Rubino pearl Alfa Romeo Brera.
• The woman in the live action ending theme is narrator and master or ceremonies Ayano Ogata.
• Vermouth's car parked in the Beika Shopping Mall is 1971 yellow De Tomaso Pantera GT5.
• The train line is the Chūō–Sōbu Line.
• The Black Organization helicopter is a Boeing AH-64 Apache (Modified).
• Different locations on Kazuki Honjou's notebook include: 1893-2, Shiokura Okadashimooka district, Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture (Postal code 〒390-0313) (Jinno); Wataridasanno-chō 30-8, Kawasaki ward, Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture (Postal code 〒210-0845) (Azusa); 875-16, Matsushitashichitanda Hon, Numazu City, Shizuoka Prefecture (Postal Code 〒410-0867) (Kozo); 15-24, Kamakurayama 5-chome, Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture (〒248-0031) (Shizuko); 19-7, Higashitokorozawawada 4-chome, Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture (〒359-0021) (Okakura); 155-18, Shimizu Shinden district, Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture (〒250-0855) (Ryuzaki).

• Irish's assumed identity can be deduced from the beginning, since Matsumoto doesn't recognize who is Ran, although the real superintendent is aware of it, since they first met in A June Bride Murder Case and she asked him about his daughter Sayuri.

• This case, when Yamamura met Yamato and Uehara for the first time, is cited in file 1082, but the movies are not canon, so they must have met in another case, albeit not shown in the manga.
• This is the movie where they started the tradition of inviting a special guest voice actor to promote the movie. In this case it was the singer DAIGO in the role of Kosuke Mizutani. It was his first role as a voice actor.
