It's summer vacation and the Detective Boys (along with Agasa) are gathered on the school ground for morning radio exercises. [[Professor Agasa]] had told the Detective Boys about these exercise once when they went to see the fireworks. When Mitsuhiko doesn't show up for the exercise, Conan, Genta, Ayumi, Haibara and Agasa decide to visit Mitsuhiko, believing that he was ill. Mitsuhiko's older sister, Asami Tsuburaya, tells them that he left saying that there was a "camping trip" with the Detective Boys, so Mitsuhiko prepaired his schoolbag to go with them and took some candies wrapped in bamboo leaves. Concerned, the kids and Agasa set off a journey into the forest in search of their best friend.

Asami told the Detective Boys that Mitsuhiko had borrowed from her a sunscreen that she had bought, which came from abroad. She also mentioned that her brother often saw a girl which worked at a flower shop, and probably was in love with her. The girl said she hadn't seen Mitsuhiko that morning, but then she realized she had seen him indeed about to take a bus. She called his name, but he didn't reply. The guys also heard from her that Mitsuhiko had been wearing his cap, smelled like lemons, and that she had seen him being warned by two men after mentioning the name of some samurais. She started wondering which they were, and she mentioned Uesugi, Takeda, Toyotomi and Takegawa.
 +
 
 +
With no more clues, the Detective Boys asked the bus driver about Mitsuhiko. He told them that he was in his bus and that he remembered him because he wasn't looking through the window but ahead, as if he was worried. He had got off the bus at a train station, so his friends went to look for him there. One of the employees there remembered him because he had bought an adult ticket by mistake and asked him to change it in a hurry. The ticket was 1,900 yen so it could be a ticket to Chiba or Gunma. A worker at [[Wikipedia: Nakanojō Station|Nakanojō Station]] in Gunma said he had seen Mitsuhiko hiding there for a while and then leaving. The Professor and the Detective Boys start looking for Mistuhiko in the Gunma Prefecture with Conan's tracking glasses... Where could he be?
  
 +
==== Part 2 ====
 +
In the forest, the Detective Boys and Agasa run into officer Yamamura. He tells them that they have let loose a very dangerous criminal killer known as [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] by accident, and that they were in search for him. Having met with this serial killer once before in Osaka, Conan knew how dangerous Numabuchi was already. He was there with the Gunma police because he testified that his fourth victim was buried there, as his mother was born in Gunma, but they haven't been able to find this corpse yet. Mistuhiko is in fact in the forest, but for some reason he can't pick the Detective Badge to talk to Conan. Everyone is afraid this serial killer could be targetting Mitsuhiko. After a long while of searching him, Conan starts deducing the truth.
 +
 +
The scent of lemon was nothing but just the sunscreen Mitsuhiko borrowed from Asami. It smelled like that because it also was an insect repelent. Suddenly, Ayumi spots Numabuchi up in a tree, but he flees. Haibara starts wondering why she can't feel people from the [[Black Organization]] anymore...

<spoiler>Haibara seems to know a lot about [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]], and she reveals to Conan that it is because '''Numabuchi was part of the Black Organization'''. He had been probably hired to be a hitman, but as he wasn't clever enough, they tried to send him to Sherry as a guinea pig for her prototypes. However, Numabuchi escaped the Organization before she could meet Shiho.
 +
 +
Regarding Mitsuhiko, Conan tells his friends that he can't reply because he got lost and started shouting to ask for help and almost lost his voice. Moreover, he can't pick the badge because he can't use his hands.
 +
 +
Numabuchi found Mitsuhiko in the forest and says that he reminds him of himself, worried and lost. Mitsuhiko is afraid because he can hear Conan telling him that there's a serial killer in the forest, but he can't escape from Numabuchi, who suddenly appears in front of everyone and gives himself in. He's carrying Mitsuhiko, who hasn't been hurt or harmed by the serial killer. The police officers take him away and Genta takes a look at Mitsuhiko's hands, from where a firefly comes out.
 +
 +
Conan explains everything to his friends. '''Mitsuhiko had gone to the forest to catch fireflies''', due to the fact that in summer a lot of fireflies appear near that river in Gunma forest, as fireflies live in clean waters. They can't be seen from the city, so Mitsuhiko went to Gunma. The name of the samurais Mitsuhiko had mentioned were because he meant to say the names of two firefly species who were named after two samurais who were rivals, Genji and Heike. The two men were from an organization that defends the environment. They knew where Mitsuhiko wanted to go, so they warned him because he didn't want a lot of kids to go to Gunma forest and pollute it. He was looking ahead in the bus because he was following those two men who were in that bus, so he had to know when to get off of the bus as they were also going to Gunma. This was the reason why he bought an adult ticket, as he pressed the same button in the machine as those men. He was hurried to change the ticket because he didn't want to miss the train as he had to keep following the two men. When he got to Gunma, he hid for a while so that the men didn't see him, or they would lecture him again. The bamboo leaves were going to be used by Mitsuhiko to attract the fireflies.
 +
 +
He had done all that because after seeing the fireworks, Ayumi and Ai mentioned they also wanted to see the fireflies, so everything was a surprise for the two of them. Conan then tells everyone that Numabuchi was sentenced to death penalty for his serial murders and that there was no fourth victim. He just wanted to see the fireflies in the forest for the last time in his life.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
 +
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
 +
* The anime shows the train arriving to Gunma, following with the Detective Boys asking the train station employee there about Mitsuhiko.  The manga just transitions to the group just having arrived at Gunma after hearing about that he might have gone there.
 +
* After learning that [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is loose in the forest, Conan has a flashback in the anime to his [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case|previous encounter]] with Numabuchi.
 +
* Episode 289's ending adds a scene with Numabuchi continuing to evade the police after Mitsuhiko discovers Conan and company are trying to contact him.

In the forest, the Detective Boys and Agasa runs into Officer Yamamura of the Gunma Police. He tells them that they have let loose a very dangerous criminal killer known as Numabuchi Kiichiro by accident and that they were in search for him. Having met with this serial killer once before in Osaka (Ep.), Conan knew of the killer's dangers but as the day grows darker and as Conan later finds out from Haibara that Numabuchi was an ex-member of the black organisation, things get a bit more serious.

Missing Person

EP289-290 Case.jpg

Location: Gunma Forest
Victim: Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya
When Mitsuhiko suddenly disappeared, it's up to the Detective Boys to find out where he is!

Asami told the Detective Boys that Mitsuhiko had borrowed from her a sunscreen that she had bought, which came from abroad. She also mentioned that her brother often saw a girl which worked at a flower shop, and probably was in love with her. The girl said she hadn't seen Mitsuhiko that morning, but then she realized she had seen him indeed about to take a bus. She called his name, but he didn't reply. The guys also heard from her that Mitsuhiko had been wearing his cap, smelled like lemons, and that she had seen him being warned by two men after mentioning the name of some samurais. She started wondering which they were, and she mentioned Uesugi, Takeda, Toyotomi and Takegawa.

With no more clues, the Detective Boys asked the bus driver about Mitsuhiko. He told them that he was in his bus and that he remembered him because he wasn't looking through the window but ahead, as if he was worried. He had got off the bus at a train station, so his friends went to look for him there. One of the employees there remembered him because he had bought an adult ticket by mistake and asked him to change it in a hurry. The ticket was 1,900 yen so it could be a ticket to Chiba or Gunma. A worker at Nakanojō Station in Gunma said he had seen Mitsuhiko hiding there for a while and then leaving. The Professor and the Detective Boys start looking for Mistuhiko in the Gunma Prefecture with Conan's tracking glasses... Where could he be?

Part 2

In the forest, the Detective Boys and Agasa run into officer Yamamura. He tells them that they have let loose a very dangerous criminal killer known as Ki'ichiro Numabuchi by accident, and that they were in search for him. Having met with this serial killer once before in Osaka, Conan knew how dangerous Numabuchi was already. He was there with the Gunma police because he testified that his fourth victim was buried there, as his mother was born in Gunma, but they haven't been able to find this corpse yet. Mistuhiko is in fact in the forest, but for some reason he can't pick the Detective Badge to talk to Conan. Everyone is afraid this serial killer could be targetting Mitsuhiko. After a long while of searching him, Conan starts deducing the truth.

The scent of lemon was nothing but just the sunscreen Mitsuhiko borrowed from Asami. It smelled like that because it also was an insect repelent. Suddenly, Ayumi spots Numabuchi up in a tree, but he flees. Haibara starts wondering why she can't feel people from the Black Organization anymore...

    Manga to anime changes

    Main article: List of differences between the manga and anime
    • The anime shows the train arriving to Gunma, following with the Detective Boys asking the train station employee there about Mitsuhiko. The manga just transitions to the group just having arrived at Gunma after hearing about that he might have gone there.
    • After learning that Ki'ichiro Numabuchi is loose in the forest, Conan has a flashback in the anime to his previous encounter with Numabuchi.
    • Episode 289's ending adds a scene with Numabuchi continuing to evade the police after Mitsuhiko discovers Conan and company are trying to contact him.
