Case

Situation

Part 1

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are all heading into Chinatown to have a nice dinner. In the car, Ran is studying extensively for an exam, and hasn't slept very well. Her mind keeps thinking back to a blurry memory of her and Shinichi, and she keeps thinking about that mysterious man, Shuichi Akai, and about how she believes she has seen him before. Conan is very worried for her health. While at the restaurant, they share a dinner table with another group of guests, because Kogoro didn't read the fine print on a coupon. One of the guests on the table dies.

Murder
	Location: Chinese restaurant Victim: Shiro Kawabata Age: 46 years old Cause of death: Cyanide poisoning Suspects: Kaizo Isogami, Motohiro Ito, Keigo Kitaura, and Kogoro Mouri Shiro Kawabata suffocated from potassium cyanide (KCN)

Inspector Jugo Yokomizo arrives on the scene. Kogoro mistakes him for his older brother, Sango, which angers Jugo, who is not a fan of Kogoro. Because Ran sat near the victim, she is considered a suspect! Conan wants to figure out who the murderer is, not just because Ran is a suspect, but also because she keeps looking more and more ill. Could something bad happen to Ran?

Part 2

After an investigation, which sometimes is tense, Conan finally figures out how the killer could have killed the victim. However, when everyone was about to leave, Ran collapses on the ground, and the officers offers to drive her to the hospital.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Kaizo Isogami. It's because of Kawabata's reflexes and distaste for certain food, and also last time, Isogami stops the table away from Conan so that he can't eat the Steamed meat bun because Isogami already knows that Conan's hand is poisoned.

As the investigation goes by, Ran looks more and more ill.

Isogami confesses and reveals Kawabata murdered the actress Rika a year ago, disguising it as a accident. Kawabata knew about the sudden change all along, he was fully aware of the fact the stuntman and Rika were switched for the last action scene, he also said he only did her a favour by acknowledging her wish to do her own scenes with disgusting grin, he also said it was a smash hit because of her death he didn't stop her despite his power and opportunity and reveals a director falls in love with his heroine in the course of filming even if she is not a good actress and not very attractive.

After the case is solved, Ran passes out on the floor. She finally remembers, thanks to the rain, just who Shuichi Akai is, and what the connection is with Shinichi. It was a case, over a year ago.
