*Shinichi notes that there is an indentation on the balcony where the killer attached a rope with a piece of wood at the end, allowing the killer a way to get back across to the 3rd floor window, as it is impossible for the killer to have successfully landed on the 10 centimeter roof ledge coming back. By using a piece of wood rather than simply tying the rope to the balcony the killer was able to remove evidence of his method of escape while on the other side of the building.

===== Conclusion =====
 +
Shinichi concludes that the murderer could only have been someone who knew the mansion very well and eventually points his finger at the '''landlord'''. The latter, being in a wheelchair, then starts to laugh, claiming that he's in no position to be able to commit such a crime. Shinichi then grabs a globe and throws it towards the owner who immediately jumps out of his chair to avoid it. The maid and guests are all in shock. Shinichi then says that he's been healed for a while now as reported by his doctor, which Megure confirms. Seeing that he's been exposed he tries to escape, but Shinichi knocks him out by kicking the globe as a makeshift soccer ball.

After Shinichi explains to Ran why he quit the soccer team and tells her that he wants to become a detective like the fictional Sherlock Holmes, Ran reminds Shinichi of a promise he made with her: if Ran won the regional karate championship, Shinichi would go with her to the amusement park, [[Setting#Tropical Land .28.E3.83.88.E3.83.AD.E3.83.94.E3.82.AB.E3.83.AB.E3.83.A9.E3.83.B3.E3.83.89.29|Tropical Land]]. Shinichi had forgotten, however, and Ran tries to kick him as punishment.

After school, Shinichi fulfill his promise by going with Ran to Tropical Land. As they're in line for the Mystery Coaster, Shinichi demonstrates his deductive reasoning to Ran when he correctly deduces that a girl standing in line in front of them is a gymnast, since the wind accidentally raised her flowing skirt and, alongside her frilly panties, he could see some marks on her upper thighs that are typical of gym practitioners. Shinichi and Ran's date is cut short when a murder occurs while they're riding the roller coaster. Who is responsible for killing Kishida, and how did they do it?

Hitomi's motive for murdering Kishida is because she used to go out with him long before she met Aiko and Reiko in college, until he dumped her. Hitomi planned to murder Kishida at the place they had their first date (Tropical Land) using the very necklace he had bought for her. Had Shinichi not proven the truth behind the murder, Hitomi was planning to commit suicide via drugs after the visit to Tropical Land.

Shinichi, suspicious of the two men dressed in all black that rode the coaster, decides to follow them on their way to the outskirts of Tropical Land. He tells Ran to head home without him, and when she tries to follow her shoelace breaks, leaving her to watch him go with the strange feeling she'll never see him again. Shinichi gets caught up watching [[Vodka|one of the men]] conduct a blackmail transaction with a company executive and doesn't notice the [[Gin|other man dressed in black]] sneaking up from behind until the man knocks Shinichi out with pipe. To avoid the attention of the police, they give Shinichi an [[APTX 4869|un-tested poison]] in order to kill him without a trace, and leave him to die. However, rather than killing Shinichi, the poison shrinks him down to the size of a [[Conan Edogawa|six year old]].

Roller Coaster Murder Case (ジェットコースター殺人事件 Jetto Kōsutā Satsujin Jiken?) is the first episode of Detective Conan anime. The anime begins in the middle of a case where a murder was committed during a party at a private mansion, introducing the high-school student detective Shinichi Kudo who came to solve it. In the next day, he comes with Ran Mouri to the Tropical Land where another murder would be committed in a roller-coaster.

Being the first episode, most of the main characters are introduced throughout the episode. The introduction of the characters Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta are anime-original, as their first manga appearance would be only in volume 2.

The episode starts in a mansion where a party has been interrupted by a murder: one of the guests, President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank, was found dead with a bullet in his heart. The police, led by Inspector Megure, have been investigating the crime scene, but have no conclusive evidence as to who the killer is. However, Shinichi makes his grand entrance and claims that he has figured out the case.

    • Resolution

    Case 2: Roller Coaster Murder Case

    Situation

    Ran Mouri meets up with her friend Shinichi Kudo on their way to Teitan High School. After Shinichi explains to Ran why he quit the soccer team and tells her that he wants to become a detective like the fictional Sherlock Holmes, Ran reminds Shinichi of a promise he made with her: if Ran won the regional karate championship, Shinichi would go with her to the amusement park, Tropical Land. Shinichi had forgotten, however, and Ran tries to kick him as punishment.

    After school, Shinichi fulfill his promise by going with Ran to Tropical Land. As they're in line for the Mystery Coaster, Shinichi demonstrates his deductive reasoning to Ran when he correctly deduces that a girl standing in line in front of them is a gymnast, since the wind accidentally raised her flowing skirt and, alongside her frilly panties, he could see some marks on her upper thighs that are typical of gym practitioners. Shinichi and Ran's date is cut short when a murder occurs while they're riding the roller coaster. Who is responsible for killing Kishida, and how did they do it?
