Case

Situation

Part 1

Ran is excited to watch a movie with her parents after a long time. However, Kogoro is reluctant to the idea since it stars Yoko Okino as a lawyer who saves her boyfriend who is a detective from a false accusation, a plot similar to one that actually happened with Kogoro and Eri. In the end of the movie, the detective clings to his girlfriend and says some cheesy lines, much to the annoyance of Kogoro. He is sure that the premium seat tickets Eri sent him is because she is going to tell him at the end of the movie to reflect on his mistakes like the detective boyfriend. While they argue, Ran receives a friend request on her messaging app from Eri and accepts it. A while later Eri messages Ran saying that he has been kidnapped and to inform the police. However, the impostor who was added to the group by Ran a while ago negates her statements saying that she was only joking. During the chaos, they are unable to identify who the real Eri is.

Two hours earlier, Eri is seen talking to Midori about the movie Ran is pestering her to see with Kogoro and that she doesn't want her stomach to growl during the movie since it will embarrass her in front of Kogoro. Midori teases her that it does not matter when her stomach growls in front of her clients, but when it's her ex-husband, she is extra careful to present her at her best. Eri is speechless and embarrassed, that is when there is a knock on the door. After Midori opens the door, the kidnappers stupefy her and Eri, and then kidnap Eri in a case. On reaching the location, one of the kidnappers sees blood flowing out of the case. When he tries to open it, Eri jerks out of the case and knocks him out. Seeing no way of escape, she takes the kidnapper's phone and goes to hiding.

Part 2

With the hint, “The crab's only half-boiled, but as a result, the two swordfish looks delicious. Since it's light out tonight, why don't we eat outside?” They were able to pinpoint that Eri is somewhere in Sutan-cho on an abandoned building where she can see the Bell Tree Tower and Toto Tower. After they arrived, Eri sent a message: "Based on the walls, I think it's a reinforced concrete building," but failed because the kidnappers said it was a wooden building. Then she sent "I think it has some yellowish warm mouse-gray shutters," surely believing Ran will find out what it was.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

From the clues sent by Eri, Conan concludes that she must have been confined at a building in Sutanchou as it's the only place that she can see Tohto Tower (the half-boiled crab) and Bell Tree Tower (the swordfishes, which refers to Miyamoto Musashi (634), the tower's height). They manage to rescue her in time and incapacitate the criminals. It turns out that the criminals are husbands (a domestic abuser, an adulterer and a gambler), who lost against Eri in their divorce cases and decided to take revenge. Their intention was to make a video of Eri naked and apologizing to them. But fed up with her continued evasion, the leader had changed his intention to rape. Kogoro takes out the leader while Ran beats up the other two.

Hostage Situation and Rape Attempt
	Location: Abandoned building in Sutan-cho Victim: Eri Kisaki Age: 38 years old Offense weapon: Stun Gun Culprit: Domestic abuser The leader of the kidnappers attempts to stun Eri and rape her, but is stopped in time by Kogoro.

Aftermath

Kogoro postpones his visit to the police station for his statement citing the date with Eri, causing Eri to blush. Ran feels relieved as it seems that there is still hope of them getting together. Her dream is crushed when they start arguing right after the end of the movie. Though Kogoro accepts the way things worked out in the film also complimenting Yoko's character and saying the detective wasn't too badly portrayed, Eri voices her annoyance on the wrong portrayal of procedures in the court, saying that the way the lawyer acted would've got her in trouble in a real life court. Conan silently thinks of how "Kirie Saki", the name of the lawyer character in the movie, is an anagram of "Eri Kisaki" hinting that the movie was indeed based on Kogoro and Eri.

Manga to anime changes

• When Kogoro reads the synopsis of the movie he's going to watch with Eri at the beginning of episode 901, small characters are drawn in the background to illustrate what Kogoro is reading. This was not in the manga.
• During her abduction scene, Goro tries to attack the culprits before they lock him in a room. This was not in the manga.
• In the manga, Eri doesn't think of opening the door when she's in the garage trying to escape. The anime version corrected this.
• There are more scenes where the culprits try to find Eri.
• Eri takes off her high heels in the anime in order not go unnoticed.
• Kogoro doesn't find the building in which Eri is held captive right away like in the manga. He has to search for a few minutes before finding it.
• Takagi doesn't take the criminals to the police car at the end of the case.
• Kogoro and Eri have more lines when they bicker at the cinema.
