Case

Situation

Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Genta happened to witness a quarrel taking place in front of an elderly actor selection venue, where two aged retirees, who were named Makio Yuida and Kozo Yuida respectively, were involved. To ascertain further details, the three of them from the Detective Boys visited Kozo and learned the fact that Kozo was chosen to be the elderly actor immediately, which aroused Mistuhiko some Sherlock Holmes "canon" which was related to the Red-Headed League short story. Accordingly, he suspected that Kozo might be drawn into a gigantic fraud, having similar routines with the Sherlock Holmes story. However, as they arrived at Kozo's home, nothing queer was noticed.

Kozo mentioned that his brother and he both had a teapot which was inherited from their father; recently he received a letter expressing his desire to purchase both their teapots. Soon, Mitsuhiko noticed something off from the letter: even though the sender address was written to be in Kyoto, the post stamp was clearly from Tokyo.

At the same time, Conan and Haibara were searching for the rest of the people, but precisely encountered Detective Nakamura stalking Makio at the back. When the Detective Boys liaised with each other, they inquired Makio about the teapot, yet were blasted away by him promptly. While leaving Makio's home, the Detective Boys met Ami Kimura, who was Makio's neighbour. She disclosed that Makio often talked about his journeys at the veranda, despite their unfamiliarity. Ayumi then noticed the cocoon on Kimura's hand, and the gloves in her pocket; as such, she surmised that Kimura is a manga artist.

Successfully, a serial robbery case happening persistently in second-hand stores caught their attention - importantly, the head of the robbery gang were still yet to be captured. In the meantime, Conan noticed Detective Takagi and Detective Chiba, who were again on a stakeout; according to their observations, Makio is most likely that head of robbers. Mistuhiko continued this deduction and speculated that his proceeding target is Kozo. The Detective Boys thus hurried to Kozo's house, but Kozo declared that he had just received another letter, and it also came with a ticket to Kyoto (which was to be used when the transaction was completed).

At night, Mitsuhiko discovered Kozo, who was sneakily following Makio. They all saw the fact that Makio opened the door of his apartment, but he then hesitated, and returned to his house immediately. Kozo was then instigated to contact his brother Makio, which on the phone Makio disclosed that "he needed money currently, since he now depends 'on credit' to make a living (ツケで暮らしていて), and would approach Kozo in turn". From what Mistuhiko had heard, he noticed the strangeness: normally Makio calls Kozo's actual name, but in the phone call, the appellation was changed to "brother"; as such, Makio was trying to explain his relation-ship with Kozo. In addition to that, "ツケ" is a terminology in the game of go, meaning adjacent to enemy. This manifests that Makio was in danger so Detective Chiba went to rescue him by heading upstairs.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Makio Yuida did not plan to rob his brother Kozo. In fact, Ami Kimura planned to rob Makio.

Culprit's Escape Route

Kimura is the head of the robber gang, she intended to take Makio's home as her next target of robbing. Owing to the fact that she lives just right beside Makio's home, she formulated a path for escape to be used after she robs Makio. By entering Makio's home, she would only need to force-break the wall between the two rooms; when escaping, she destined to third floor by using the escape staircase located on the veranda, then by taking advantage of the empty room below Makio's home getting to second floor. Hence, she could arrive at the buckwheat noodle restaurant, she knew beforehand that the restaurant had not been operating during nighttime for many evenings; with the noisy construction sound established at the background, she could escape effortlessly.

All About Robbery

Being the head of robber gang, Kimura could not be a manga artist; conversely, the reason that she had gloves contained in her pockets was because that she did not want her fingerprints to be left elsewhere - if it was a real manga artist, the gloves would be stained slightly. Moreover, her necklace was a magnifying glass instead, to identify precious jewels; the cocoon on her finger was obviously caused due to her long-term use of the magnifying glass.

After hearing Mitsuhiko's deduction, Kimura was incensed and intended to grab Mitsuhiko as a hostage, but failed under the football ejected by Conan who arrived to draw a finale of this serial second-hand stores robbery case.

Aftermath

Prior to that, Conan had already confirmed the identity of the sender of that mysterious letter, it was in fact Makio Yuida.

Within the letter, it was insinuated by the pseudonym of the sender: "伊尾木田真" (いおきだまゆ). By rearranging the order of the furigana characters we will go from I O KI DA MA YU to YUI DA MAKI O which is "結田槙夫" (ゆうだまきお), namely Makio Yuida. As a result, there were no such person proclaiming to "trade" teapots with the two of them, it was all made up by Makio, the reason was to invite Kozo to a trip to Kyoto. After this incident, Kozo and Makio could be able to treat honest to each other and enjoy the affection of being together.

Trivia
