{{ref anime|861-862|Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene}}
 +
==== File 949 - Sweet Scent ====
 +
As the case seems similar to the 17 years ago's one with Kohji Haneda, Conan asks Okiya/Akai the reason why he joined the FBI. Okiya replies it has to do indeed with the 17-year-old case in which his father had been involved. Okiya says his father wasn't from the FBI, but refuses to tell Conan more about it...unless the latter tells him about his true identity. Conan says he'll tell him when the case is solved and closed - even though Conan believes it's useless as Akai probably already knows the entire truth.

=== File 950 - The Clipped Letters ===
+
Kazunori Senba tells the police he wants to go back home as they don't need him anymore. But the police insists on him staying a little longer for some more questioning, and Chiba tells Okiya and Agasa Senba is the one who found out Hiyama's corpse, he injured his foot stepping by accident on shattered glass in the crime's room. Okiya asks Senba if his right leg still hurts him, and Senba replies he actually injured his left foot, though he had an accident last month during which his right leg was badly injured, and still hurts actually. Takagi tells Senba Okiya is just Agasa's assistant, the one who invented the fancy scissors Hiyama had in hand when dying. Senba refuses to tell Okiya about the events as he's not from the police, but Conan tells Senba Okiya just wants to check if the scissors' special function actually worked, because the mechanism could have been activated if the culprit has done something weird around Hiyama's body.
  
 +
Senba then accepts to recount what happened : he came in Hiyama's house and was searched by the bodyguards who checked if he had metallic objects on him. Senba then went to the central lodge and opened the door, then he waited in the corridor a minute or two, but Hiyama never came. Senba called out for him but still nothing. Afterwards, he wandered around the lodge, checking the rooms one after the other, until the bathroom, only to find Hiyama's corpse there, and the room as it is now. Senba says as soon as he saw Hiyama's head was bleeding he rushed to rescue him. Okiya says then it's strange he went straight ahead without noticing the clearly visible shattered glass on the floor. Senba says he didn't notice it as he had barely cracked the door open to check the room rapidly. It wasn't directly in his field of vision, then he stepped on it by chance. But Conan says it's still weird as since the glass was shattered near the entrance, probably slung to the murderer's face by Hiyama, then if Senba had cracked the door open and immediately opened it wide afterwards to rush to Hiyama, the glass would have been swept aside by the door movement, implying Senba had really faint chances of stepping on a bit. Senba says he actually made a mistake : he now remembers the door to be open when he came, explaining why he directly saw Hiyama and ran to help him without noticing the glass.
 +
 +
Senba notes Conan's undeceived gaze at him and tells him he's not the murderer despite his insinuations. He says if he had killed Hiyama he would be covered in blood, his clothes would be dripping bloody. Senba shows Conan his clothes in evidence but Conan notices Senba's shirt buttons are ill-fastened, as if done in a rush. Agasa and Okiya also note Senba's shirt isn't properly tucked into his trousers in the back, and his tie is too loose, just as his clothes are globally ill-kept. Senba takes fright and assures he's not the murderer as he didn't didn't bring any blunt weapons with him. Fed up with that questioning, Senba leaves followed by Takagi who tries to hold him back. Okiya asks the forensic agents picking up the shards of glass if Senba stepped on the glass barefooted, to which the forensics answer he was actually wearing slippers. Conan and Okiya observe the exhibit slipper whose heel is pierced by a shard of glass and red with blood, just as the inner part of the slipper is, and they deduce the ploy used by the culprit.
 +
 +
Megure tells Okiya the broken glass is exactly the same as the other one on the sink, a Fusae-brand toothbrush glass, reminding Agasa of her first love Fusae Campbell, who became a world-famous businesswoman managing accessory-manufacturing firms. As the forensics ask people in front of the door to move aside as they're transporting Hiyama, Conan and Okiya smell a sweet fragrance coming from the corpse. Megure explains when they examined Hiyama's head injury, they found over it some peculiar substance looking like honey. As Megure is tired still not having an answer to the question he keeps asking Okiya, Agasa and Conan, which is what the link with the scissors actually is, he asks them when they intend to go home... Agasa comments on the case being so off-putting : honey on the victim's head, clenched scissors in his hand, a water tap which kept running even after the murder, etc. He wonders how Senba did manage to pass a weapon on to Hiyama's house even after being searched, if he is indeed the murderer. What's more, all windows are barred in the whole house. Okiya and Conan tell him Senba is really the culprit and they've found out his ploy, except for the weapon he used in the crime.
 +
 +
Conan asks the two bodyguards what they found in Senba's pockets when they searched him. He actually had toys in plastic packets, along with little paper leaflets with pictures of other toys and dolls featured on them. He said these were presents for some children he knew, even though he had already shut up his dagashi shop (where toys and candy are usually sold). He also had a wallet and a key, along with a peculiar big yellowish toy ball, just like dagashi shops sell. They gave it to the police, but actually as they had found it on the ground and knew there is a big park next to the house, they thought it wasn't Senba's but rather a toy which was probably flung in the air and lost by a child playing in the park, though none went to retrieve it. Conan asks them to show him where they found it, which is actually just next to the lodge. A bodyguard went there and found it after hearing a strange muffled sound coming from the lodge's roof. Just next to the place the ball was found, Conan spots a small non-barred bottom window which is actually the washroom's one, in order to get more fresh air inside as all the other windows are barred, and actually even a child couldn't slip through it, which is why bars are useless here. The washroom isn't very far away from the bathroom where the murder took place, and from the cloakroom. The guard remembers the noise on the roof to be quite loud, like a double hit or so.
 +
 +
As Conan and Okiya think about it and realise what the weapon might be, Agasa shouts in fear and tells them he was just startled by hundreds of ants walking a straight line towards the house. Conan doesn't get it why he shouted as Agasa' bookshelf is filled with books about bugs. Agasa answers bugs are cute on pictures but not so much in real life. Conan and Okiya suddenly understand something and follow the ant line up to the house under which landing they glance at something really interesting : the mysterious murder weapon being overrun by dozens of ants.
 +
 +
==== File 950 - The Clipped Letters ====
 +
Agasa tells Megure Conan and Okiya have figured out who the murderer is and how he managed not to be suspected at all.
 
<spoiler>
 
<spoiler>
−
The culprit is '''Kazunori Senba'''.
+
The culprit is indeed '''Kazunori Senba'''. Conan and Okiya say he brought the murder weapon with him inside the house : the plastic ball used to contain the toy and leaflet the guards found in his pockets during the search, the crime's weapon could have been put inside the ball and considered above suspicion. But Senba tells Conan he actually discarded it before coming to Hiyama's as he considered it useless. But Conan reveals it to be a lie, as Takagi comes along with the things Conan had asked him to buy in order to show him how the murderer actually used all of them to create his trick. First Conan opens the plastic ball and removes the toy and leaflet, then he tapes the ball's air openings to prevent honey from leaking, puts a big marble inside and covers it entirely with honey, and closes the ball again, and probably tapes it over just to make sure it won't open up later. Then Conan asks Takagi to throw the ball on the roof, along with another ball, a bouncing ball, actually very similar to the one the guard found earlier in the garden. Takagi complies and flings the balls over the roof. Both impacts are heard but only the bouncing ball directly falls from the roof to land on the ground near Takagi. Conan asks him to wait a moment for the other one to appear, while they all come in the lodge.
 +
 
 +
Okiya reveals Hiyama did come to greet Senba at the entrance, and this latter asked him to use his washroom in order to recover the murder weapon. They go to the washroom which faces the bathroom where Hiyama was killed, and Okiya shows them the bottom window. He opens it and slips his arm through it, grabbing an item outside, below the window, which is actually the plastic ball. It didn't fall from the roof, as the marble and honey inside slowed it down dramatically, and it rolled down to the gutter, resumed its course up to the gutter's vertical hole, where rainwater is usually being collected, then fell inside the pipe, down to the bottom, eventually emerging on the ground and stopping just in front of the bottom window. Takagi confirms it to be true. Senba, the culprit, actually went in the park next to Hiyama's house and flung both balls at the same time on the lodge's roof, to make it believe that only one ball had been flung, not to arouse the guards' suspicion. The bodyguard only found one ball as indeed the other one was being slowed down and was still on the roof.
 +
 
 +
Actually, if Conan put a marble inside the ball, Senba had used a big metal ball instead, and when he retrieved the heavy plastic ball, he put it inside his sock to create a blackjack-like weapon to bludgeon Hiyama with, which explains why Hiyama's head injury had honey on it : the plastic ball was chipped by the violent blows Senba gave to Hiyama, and honey leaked from it accordingly, through the sock. Senba still claims he would have blood all over his clothes if he was the killer, but Conan tells him he had undressed before murdering Hiyama, and then had dressed again after taking a shower in the washroom, which is why his clothes were fastened in a rush, due to him being tense after the crime and not wanting to attract the guards' attention because of his too long appointment with Hiyama. He also needed to have people believe he had quickly found Hiyama's corpse and alerted the guards, as it would have been suspicious otherwise. The washroom exactly faces the crime scene, thence taking a rapid shower is very easy, just as to dry yourself with toilet paper and flush it into the bowl afterwards. There is also a faint probability the police will find blood traces in the corridor then, as both rooms are facing each other, and because Senba had first attracted the victim into the washroom to assault him.
  
−
Upon realizing the victim's dying message on the glass cup is very similar to the missing letters on the mirror in [[Kohji Haneda]]'s room, Conan and Subaru each rearrange the missing letters and discover Haneda's dying message:
+
Megure wonders why Agasa, who usually solves cases alone, remains so silent at the moemnt, and Agasa replies he wants to leave the younger ones dealing with it for once. Okiya carries on and says Senba attracted Hiyama in the washroom claiming something like the water tap was out of service, and when he entered, Senba struck him with the weapon. Hiyama went to hide in the bathroom, followed by Senba, and slung a glass to this latter, to no avail. Senba cornered him in the bathroom and killed him. To get rid of the bloody sock and plastic ball, Senba couldn't actually just stand barefooted in his slippers, fearing the police may ask him why these latter were wet, and he would have had to confess to having taken a shower and to explain why. Therefore, he just removed the ball from the sock and put on his clothes again after the shower and drying, included the bloody sock, and put on his slippers again as well to deliberately step on a shard of glass, in order to have a reason to remove his sock and explain why it was bloodied. After dressing again, Senba quickly alerted the guards who rushed to Hiyama, while he discreetly got rid of the chipped plastic ball (with the metal ball in it) under the house's landing, hoping to have a chance to retrieve it later on. But leaking honey attracted hundreds of ants and the ball was eventually found and given to the forensics. Okiya and Conan got the trick when they saw blood in the inner part fo the slipper while there was supposed to be blood on the heel's part only, as it is where the shard pierced the slipper, which means the other blood must be the victim's, and is therefore on Senba's left sock.
 +
 
 +
Other evidence are the blood which probably spurted on Senba's slippers while he was bludgeoning Hiyama, as he didn't want to leave footprints in the room and thence kept his slippers, and which also spurted on Senba's naked body. Though he washed it, luminol testing will find it all the same. Senba confesses to having spent much time washing the enormous amount of "that demon's blood" which had spurted on his body, more than he had expected. Senba killed Hiyama due to him swindling and stealing Senba's son's land for profit. Senba was at the hospital when his son got swindled by Hiyama, due to the latter paying henchmen in a car to collide with Senba. Senba ordered Hiyama to own up to it before dying, and Hiyama confessed to being responsible for it, swearing he would pay for Senba's hospital fees if he spared his life. When discharged from the hospital, Senba was shocked to see the demolisher's huge metal ball razing his dagashi shop to the ground, that shop which had been in his family for generations, which is why he decided to crush Hiyama's head with a metal ball as well. He says he can't lie any longer in front of a child, especially being himself a toys' store owner, used to making children smile.
 +
 
 +
Okiya explains to Megure that the clenched scissors are Hiyama's dying message : he had hid in the bathroom to take a toothbrush glass and put it under the water, allowing for a chemical reaction that enabled him to quickly cut into the glass the letters corresponding to his murderer's name. Indeed, he slung the glass to Senba to deliberately break it and attract the police's attention on the shards actually in the sink : if on the floor the remaining letters of "FUSAE BRAND", after the glass was broken, are actually "F-U-R-A-D", in the sink, whose tap was left running both by Hiyama to attract the police's attention there, hoping they would find the shards and the scissors and get it, and by Senba as the latter didn't think it really important and didn't want to leave more prints in the room, the letters "S-A-E-B-N" can be found, then "SENBA". Agasa can't show Megure the trick as he doesn't want to damage one of Fusae's glasses again. Hiyama had acted that way not to arouse Senba's suspicion, as this latter was in a hurry and wouldn't be frightened by shards of glass here and there, and wouldn't think of such a complicated dying message.
 +
 +
Upon realizing Hiyama's dying message with the glass is very similar to the missing letters on the mirror in [[Kohji Haneda]]'s room, and that Koji's murderer didn't notice it amidst the complete mess in the room, Conan and Subaru each rearrange the missing letters and discover Haneda's dying message:

<!--Changing this to the way it was phrased in the text spoilers translation until we actually have the chapter to confirm -->
−
Since the dying message was "P T O N", the answer to it must contain all of the missing letters of "U MASCARA"<br>
+
Since the remaining letters on the broken mirror found on the floor of Kohji's room are '''"P-T-O-N"''' from '''"PUT ON MASACARA"''', and as Kohji had left his tap running, the mirror glass shards that must be in the sink are probably his dying message : '''"UMASCARA"'''. "UMASCARA" can be changed to '''"RUMASACA"''', and so to '''"RUM ASACA"''', '''"ASACA"''' standing for the mysterious '''"Asaka"''' bodyguard who vanished after his/her boss '''Amanda Hughes''' had been murdered, and '''"RUM"''' standing for '''"Rum" the Black Organization member''' '''and boss's second-in-command''', who most probably is Asaka and who actually seems to be responsible for Amanda's and Kohji's murders.
−
PUT ON MASCARA  -  P T ON  =  U MASCARA <br>
 
−
U MASCARA  -  ASACA (for "Asaka" in English)  =  U M R<br>
 
−
Which can be rearranged to make RUM<br>

making the answer "ASACA RUM"

Then Kogoro gets a phone call from a TV-producer who invites Kogoro to a talk-show with the Soul Detective Gaito Hotta, who claims that he is going to solve the Koji Haneda murders by calling Koji Haneda's spirit. Conan joins along with an excuse of wanting to eat in the restaurant in the hotel, where a meeting with Hotta is going to take place. They meet Kokuri Sanpei, Touto TV Director, who accompanies them to the hotel room of Hotta Gaito, only to find no one answering it. Sanpei checks the mail, and realizes that Hotta had send one an hour ago to him, saying his life is threatened. He calls the bellboy to open the door, and apparently gets a call from a wrong number. Upon opening the door, they hear a glassware shatter on the floor. Hotta is found lying on the bed, stabbed to death. Kogoro spots a blackish shadow vanishing in the veranda. Thinking that it must have entered the adjoining room, they go and knock on its door, only to see Masumi Sera staying there.

Kogoro tells Masumi that the culprit fled into her room, to which she denies and says there is no one inside besides herself, hiding the presence of the 'sister from outside the domain' (Mary Sera) . Masumi and Mary show hint of recognition at the name of Haneda Kouji, when Kogoro tells her the case details.

When Sera allows them to enter, Conan rushes to the veranda, but finds no one. He observes that Sanpei's car is parked right underneath that veranda and is a posh car, having retractable roof. Conan takes a picture of it, as well as underneath the veranda, where Mary is hiding. After being called inside, he unknowingly drops his bow-tie which is later picked up by Mary.

Megure thinks the glasses were shattered, because of the vibration of the repair works starting sharp at nine, when Kogoro entered the room. Takagi simulates the scene with smartphones by banging the table with his fist but is unsuccessful in dropping all of them. But he realizes that a salt like substance is spread on the table.
 +
 
 +
Megure notices that the room is hot and also the heater is on. But the bedroom is cold because of the open window. Conan and Masumi check above the veranda door, and find the surface sticky. When Kogoro mentions of the toilet seat opening on its own due to the sensors, Conan realizes the truth of the case and pulls aside Kogoro and tranquilizes him, only then to realize that his bow-tie is missing.

Mary is not willing to trust Conan, stating that he isn't the same boy they met, and she orders Masumi to switch hotel.
  
 
Conan considers that if Asaka is Rum, then perhaps what Haibara said about being feminine refers to looking girly on the outside but strong like a man on the inside. If Rum had been a bodyguard 17 years ago, then they must be old now. Conan also ponders the possibility that Mary is Rum after having shrunken, being girly yet strong and older than she looks.

Rokumichi Hado's death is in reality a '''suicide''', but his manager '''Kanae Enjo''' tried to make it look like a murder. Rokumichi killed himself after being overwhelmed with the regret of having accidentally caused his old girlfriend to miscarry their unborn child; said girlfriend was Kanae, who found his corpse and desperatly tried to make it look like a murder, in hopes of distracting others and not have their sad past revealed.

'''The method'''
 +
 +
The rope was passed over the stage lights above. One end of the rope is knotted into rings, and the resulting big ring is placed in the arm-rest of the seat about 2 meters away from the stage. Next, the non-ring part is passed through so that it gets caught in the inner part of the arm-rest. Once again a ring is made of the remaining rope and is placed on a arm-rest of a seat about 4 meters away. Again the rope is made into a ring, this time it is placed on a seat 8 meters away in the opposite direction. Then a small ring among the knots along the length of the rope is pulled and the tied object on the stage is raised easily. This is the pulley principle in action. Enjou used this trick to raise Hado's hanging body, so as to make it look like an impossible crime.
 +
 +
Akai recalls the day of Scotch's death. Scotch snatches Akai's gun to shoot himself, but Akai reassures him that he'll let him escape. But then, upon seeing that someone is about to come, Scotch shoots himself. Akai sees that he shot himself through his phone to erase any data.

Ran confronts Azusa that she is not the real one, to which she calls Ran as her 'treasure'.

The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters

Anime Episode 861-862: Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene

File 949 - Sweet Scent

As the case seems similar to the 17 years ago's one with Kohji Haneda, Conan asks Okiya/Akai the reason why he joined the FBI. Okiya replies it has to do indeed with the 17-year-old case in which his father had been involved. Okiya says his father wasn't from the FBI, but refuses to tell Conan more about it...unless the latter tells him about his true identity. Conan says he'll tell him when the case is solved and closed - even though Conan believes it's useless as Akai probably already knows the entire truth.

Kazunori Senba tells the police he wants to go back home as they don't need him anymore. But the police insists on him staying a little longer for some more questioning, and Chiba tells Okiya and Agasa Senba is the one who found out Hiyama's corpse, he injured his foot stepping by accident on shattered glass in the crime's room. Okiya asks Senba if his right leg still hurts him, and Senba replies he actually injured his left foot, though he had an accident last month during which his right leg was badly injured, and still hurts actually. Takagi tells Senba Okiya is just Agasa's assistant, the one who invented the fancy scissors Hiyama had in hand when dying. Senba refuses to tell Okiya about the events as he's not from the police, but Conan tells Senba Okiya just wants to check if the scissors' special function actually worked, because the mechanism could have been activated if the culprit has done something weird around Hiyama's body.

Senba then accepts to recount what happened : he came in Hiyama's house and was searched by the bodyguards who checked if he had metallic objects on him. Senba then went to the central lodge and opened the door, then he waited in the corridor a minute or two, but Hiyama never came. Senba called out for him but still nothing. Afterwards, he wandered around the lodge, checking the rooms one after the other, until the bathroom, only to find Hiyama's corpse there, and the room as it is now. Senba says as soon as he saw Hiyama's head was bleeding he rushed to rescue him. Okiya says then it's strange he went straight ahead without noticing the clearly visible shattered glass on the floor. Senba says he didn't notice it as he had barely cracked the door open to check the room rapidly. It wasn't directly in his field of vision, then he stepped on it by chance. But Conan says it's still weird as since the glass was shattered near the entrance, probably slung to the murderer's face by Hiyama, then if Senba had cracked the door open and immediately opened it wide afterwards to rush to Hiyama, the glass would have been swept aside by the door movement, implying Senba had really faint chances of stepping on a bit. Senba says he actually made a mistake : he now remembers the door to be open when he came, explaining why he directly saw Hiyama and ran to help him without noticing the glass.

Senba notes Conan's undeceived gaze at him and tells him he's not the murderer despite his insinuations. He says if he had killed Hiyama he would be covered in blood, his clothes would be dripping bloody. Senba shows Conan his clothes in evidence but Conan notices Senba's shirt buttons are ill-fastened, as if done in a rush. Agasa and Okiya also note Senba's shirt isn't properly tucked into his trousers in the back, and his tie is too loose, just as his clothes are globally ill-kept. Senba takes fright and assures he's not the murderer as he didn't didn't bring any blunt weapons with him. Fed up with that questioning, Senba leaves followed by Takagi who tries to hold him back. Okiya asks the forensic agents picking up the shards of glass if Senba stepped on the glass barefooted, to which the forensics answer he was actually wearing slippers. Conan and Okiya observe the exhibit slipper whose heel is pierced by a shard of glass and red with blood, just as the inner part of the slipper is, and they deduce the ploy used by the culprit.

Megure tells Okiya the broken glass is exactly the same as the other one on the sink, a Fusae-brand toothbrush glass, reminding Agasa of her first love Fusae Campbell, who became a world-famous businesswoman managing accessory-manufacturing firms. As the forensics ask people in front of the door to move aside as they're transporting Hiyama, Conan and Okiya smell a sweet fragrance coming from the corpse. Megure explains when they examined Hiyama's head injury, they found over it some peculiar substance looking like honey. As Megure is tired still not having an answer to the question he keeps asking Okiya, Agasa and Conan, which is what the link with the scissors actually is, he asks them when they intend to go home... Agasa comments on the case being so off-putting : honey on the victim's head, clenched scissors in his hand, a water tap which kept running even after the murder, etc. He wonders how Senba did manage to pass a weapon on to Hiyama's house even after being searched, if he is indeed the murderer. What's more, all windows are barred in the whole house. Okiya and Conan tell him Senba is really the culprit and they've found out his ploy, except for the weapon he used in the crime.

Conan asks the two bodyguards what they found in Senba's pockets when they searched him. He actually had toys in plastic packets, along with little paper leaflets with pictures of other toys and dolls featured on them. He said these were presents for some children he knew, even though he had already shut up his dagashi shop (where toys and candy are usually sold). He also had a wallet and a key, along with a peculiar big yellowish toy ball, just like dagashi shops sell. They gave it to the police, but actually as they had found it on the ground and knew there is a big park next to the house, they thought it wasn't Senba's but rather a toy which was probably flung in the air and lost by a child playing in the park, though none went to retrieve it. Conan asks them to show him where they found it, which is actually just next to the lodge. A bodyguard went there and found it after hearing a strange muffled sound coming from the lodge's roof. Just next to the place the ball was found, Conan spots a small non-barred bottom window which is actually the washroom's one, in order to get more fresh air inside as all the other windows are barred, and actually even a child couldn't slip through it, which is why bars are useless here. The washroom isn't very far away from the bathroom where the murder took place, and from the cloakroom. The guard remembers the noise on the roof to be quite loud, like a double hit or so.

As Conan and Okiya think about it and realise what the weapon might be, Agasa shouts in fear and tells them he was just startled by hundreds of ants walking a straight line towards the house. Conan doesn't get it why he shouted as Agasa' bookshelf is filled with books about bugs. Agasa answers bugs are cute on pictures but not so much in real life. Conan and Okiya suddenly understand something and follow the ant line up to the house under which landing they glance at something really interesting : the mysterious murder weapon being overrun by dozens of ants.

File 950 - The Clipped Letters

Agasa tells Megure Conan and Okiya have figured out who the murderer is and how he managed not to be suspected at all.

    Soul Detective Murder Case

    Anime Episode 863-864: Soul Detective Murder Case

    File 951 - The Soul Detective

    Conan believes that the bodyguard Asaka was the black organization member Rum. The website with the information about the murder has been taken down. Then Kogoro gets a phone call from a TV-producer who invites Kogoro to a talk-show with the Soul Detective Gaito Hotta, who claims that he is going to solve the Koji Haneda murders by calling Koji Haneda's spirit. Conan joins along with an excuse of wanting to eat in the restaurant in the hotel, where a meeting with Hotta is going to take place. They meet Kokuri Sanpei, Touto TV Director, who accompanies them to the hotel room of Hotta Gaito, only to find no one answering it. Sanpei checks the mail, and realizes that Hotta had send one an hour ago to him, saying his life is threatened. He calls the bellboy to open the door, and apparently gets a call from a wrong number. Upon opening the door, they hear a glassware shatter on the floor. Hotta is found lying on the bed, stabbed to death. Kogoro spots a blackish shadow vanishing in the veranda. Thinking that it must have entered the adjoining room, they go and knock on its door, only to see Masumi Sera staying there.

    File 952 - In the Suspicious Next Room

    Kogoro tells Masumi that the culprit fled into her room, to which she denies and says there is no one inside besides herself, hiding the presence of the 'sister from outside the domain' (Mary Sera) . Masumi and Mary show hint of recognition at the name of Haneda Kouji, when Kogoro tells her the case details.

    When Sera allows them to enter, Conan rushes to the veranda, but finds no one. He observes that Sanpei's car is parked right underneath that veranda and is a posh car, having retractable roof. Conan takes a picture of it, as well as underneath the veranda, where Mary is hiding. After being called inside, he unknowingly drops his bow-tie which is later picked up by Mary.

    Megure thinks the glasses were shattered, because of the vibration of the repair works starting sharp at nine, when Kogoro entered the room. Takagi simulates the scene with smartphones by banging the table with his fist but is unsuccessful in dropping all of them. But he realizes that a salt like substance is spread on the table.

    Megure notices that the room is hot and also the heater is on. But the bedroom is cold because of the open window. Conan and Masumi check above the veranda door, and find the surface sticky. When Kogoro mentions of the toilet seat opening on its own due to the sensors, Conan realizes the truth of the case and pulls aside Kogoro and tranquilizes him, only then to realize that his bow-tie is missing.

    While cleaning the Kudo mansion, Okiya asks Sonoko and Ran whether they have noticed anyone athletic and watchful around Masumi, whose name is Asaka. Sonoko mentions about the musician Hado Rokumichi's upcoming song titled 'Asaca'. He made the melody 17 years ago and has finally decided to release the song. Sonoko also points out that the 'ka' in Asaka was replaced by 'ca'. Upon learning that they will go see the rehearsal of the song in person, Okiya decides to tag along.

    Upon heading there, they learn from Hado's manager, Enjou Kanae, that the rehearsal is postponed due to Hado not finishing the lyrics yet. The record company president, Fuse Okuyasu, tells them that the performance could be Hado's last one, as he is retiring. Kajia Hirokazu alleges that the president might file a law-suit against Hado for retiring before their contract ends. He also alleges that the manager is Hado's lover. They chance upon Azusa Enomoto and Amuro Tooru (Rei Furuya), who tells them about having asked Sonoko to arrange a visit to the rehearsal. Conan soon figures out that Vermouth is disguised as Azusa. He warns Okiya that they should retreat. But soon Hado is found, hanged to death above the stage.
