Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are invited to stay at a mansion by Beniko Suo, the hostess of a car accident charity, in North Shinjuku forest. While driving, they find a message from the Phantom of the Cursed Masks, who tells them they should not go the place. Once there, they find other famous celebrities: a baseball player, a prophet, a rockstar, and a photographer who lost his wife in a "Hit and Run" incident. The mansion is huge and divided into east and west sides, with the twin sisters Minaho and Honami Shimogasa taking care of each wings, and the only room connecting the two sides is the mask room. The mask room is locked at midnight each night due to Beniko's collection of [[Wikipedia: Julio González (sculptor)|Julio González]]'s masks, a collection of 200 masks that are believed to be cursed. They were created by a famous man who lost everything and became engrossed in his masks; once he created 200 of them, he was found dead in his room surrounded with bloody masks. People who have owned his masks have suffered tragic fates. Suo, who now owns all 200 masks, had a priest place a seal on the curse, but the room is locked at midnight to prevent the masks from wandering. During their stay, Suo is murdered in a locked room, with Shobel's masks surrounding her and a dagger in her throat.

Since the victim's room is in the west-wing of the mansion, it is originally deduced that the culprit is among the guests who stayed on that side. However, the question still remains: how did the 200 masks got into the locked room?

<spoiler>The culprit is '''Touya Aikawa'''. Conan figures out the trick to the locked room murder was stringing the 200 Shobel masks into a weapon that extended 3 meters long with a knife at the very end. This was proven by the uneven distribution of blood on one mask, and the subsequent splatters of blood on other masks, but only around the mouths.

Conan later figures out the trick and reveals the culprit, Toya Aikawa. Aikawa reveals that his mother was blamed for a hit and run incident and murdered by Suo, who then took fame and profit from her charity. In actuality, the trick to the locked room murder was stringing the 200 Shobel masks into a weapon that extended 3 meters long with a knife at the very top. This was substantiated by the uneven distribution of blood on one mask, and the subsequent splatters of blood on the only the mouth holes.

Touya confesses and reveals that his mother was blamed for a hit and run incident in which Suou herself had caused, in which Katagiri's wife was killed, and later murdered by Suou, who started her charity for the fame and profit. Mrs. Aikawa's death was believed to be a suicide since then by the public. Knowing that his mother wasn't responsible for the accident as on that day she was celebrating his birthday with him, he decided to take revenge Suou in and pinned the crime on Inaba, who was also involved with Suou's charity fraud.

Case

Situation

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are invited to stay at a mansion by Beniko Suo, the hostess of a car accident charity, in North Shinjuku forest. While driving, they find a message from the Phantom of the Cursed Masks, who tells them they should not go the place. Once there, they find other famous celebrities: a baseball player, a prophet, a rockstar, and a photographer who lost his wife in a "Hit and Run" incident. The mansion is huge and divided into east and west sides, with the twin sisters Minaho and Honami Shimogasa taking care of each wings, and the only room connecting the two sides is the mask room. The mask room is locked at midnight each night due to Beniko's collection of Julio González's masks, a collection of 200 masks that are believed to be cursed. They were created by a famous man who lost everything and became engrossed in his masks; once he created 200 of them, he was found dead in his room surrounded with bloody masks. People who have owned his masks have suffered tragic fates. Suo, who now owns all 200 masks, had a priest place a seal on the curse, but the room is locked at midnight to prevent the masks from wandering. During their stay, Suo is murdered in a locked room, with Shobel's masks surrounding her and a dagger in her throat.

In the middle of the night, Beniko Suou is stabbed in her bed, despite the fact that the door was locked. The 200 masks scattered around the room like they're laughing. Is this the curse of the masks!?
