Episode 1 first aired on January 8, 1996 in Japan. It is the pilot episode of the series. The story begins right in the middle of a case where a murder has been committed in a private mansion. At this moment, we see both Inspector Megure and Shinichi Kudo for the very first time and are able to witness the impressive deduction skills of Shinichi while he reveals the killer.

Characters introduced

Most of the main characters are introduced throughout the episode. It is interesting to notice the presence of Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and Genta who only appear much later in the manga (in Volume 2).
