Case

Situation

Part 1

Conan is walking on air when an invite to an elite Sherlock Holmes tour has him rubbing elbows with some fellow Holmes freaks. It should be a weekend of mystery nirvana, but when one of the guests is murdered it becomes a nightmare of survival. Can this group of mystery lovers solve the case before the killer strikes again? Their lives depend on it!

Murder
	Location: Side of cliff Victim: Hiroyuki Kanaya Cause of death: Dead body fell with SUV and exploded Suspects: Ikuo Kawatsu, Toshiaki Fujisawa, Nanako Shimizu, Hitomi Iwai, Maria Toda, Kento Togano, and Ayako Oki He appeared to drive the SUV off the cliff, but when Conan and Heiji looked inside the window before he was about to drive it off, they noticed a lot of things strange.

Murder
	Location: In the back of the car Victim: Ayako Oki Cause of death: Burned to death Suspects: Ikuo Kawatsu, Toshiaki Fujisawa, Nanako Shimizu, Hitomi Iwai, Maria Toda, and Kento Togano Ayako goes to get something in the back of a SUV. The murderer told her to get it. The car ignites and explodes with her in it.

Attempted Murder
	Location: Dining room Victim: Toshiaki Fujisawa Suspects: Ikuo Kawatsu, Nanako Shimizu, Hitomi Iwai, Maria Toda, and Kento Togano A fuse breaks and the lights go off. Conan and Heiji barely notice an item (ice pick) about to hit the victim. They dive and knock him Toshiaki over so it doesn't kill him but hit him in the arm.

Part 2

The murderer is still on the loose and his methods have even the most diehard Holmes fans completely baffled. Is the killer a greedy guest with his sights on the coveted Conan Doyle first edition? Or did the host of the tour fake his own death so he could go on a mad killing spree? The mystery thickens as Conan tries to crack the case!

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

After tranquilizing Heiji instead of Kogoro, he then declares Kento Togano is the culprit, the boyfriend of Ayako Oki. He reveals that the second incident was not for Ayako but for Toshiaki Fujisawa, the train station employee. The reason why Ayako knew that Kento was the culprit is because she decided to cheat off his Holmes test, but when she saw his test, it was blank, because he knew it would never be graded and he was busy preparing for the killing of the host. Kento confesses and reveals Toshiaki and Kanaya were collaborating to publish a Holmes book that had Irene Adler belittle Holmes. He felt insulted by this fan fiction and sought out to kill his targets and later his own girlfriend who threatened to blackmail him for the location of the prized fan fiction copy. After Heiji woke up, he reveals that he was spying on Conan during the deduction (at some point Kogoro hit him upside the head, which woke Heiji up but he pretended to still be asleep), so now he knows the truth about Conan's identity.
