Case

Situation

Part 1

Robbery

Location: Asada's Law Office Victim: Kimihiko Asada Suspects: Unknown Kogoro is asked by lawyer Kimihiko Asada to investigate a break-in and theft in his office. The object of the robbery was the altered last will of Karahashi Gotaro, the late chairman of the Karahashi Group, who - instead of favoring his next of kin, as previously intended - left his entire vast fortune to his lover and long-time secretary.

Kidnapping
	Location: Asada's Law Office Victim: Conan Edogawa Suspects: Unknown While going shopping for new video games with his fellow Detective Boys, Conan noticed the burglary into Asada's office and decided to investigate on his own. He caught the culprit breaking the safe open, but was discovered, kicked into unconsciousness, and taken away.

Part 2

Accidental Homicide (Crushing)

Location: Kuriniji Scrapyard Victim: Conan Edogawa Suspects: Unknown The kidnapper enclosed Conan in a box inside an unused hearse in order to secure the material witness and the altered testament, to be released after the original testament's purpose had been executed and thus made legally valid. However, unknown to the culprit, the hearse in question (with the box inside) was assigned to be scrapped and is driven to the Kuriniji Scrapyard. Fortunately, just before the car is compressed, the box cracks, allowing Conan to break out with his power-kick shoes.

The conspiring Karahashi siblings

The culprits in this case are Gotaro Karahashi's own children: Kozo, Mitsuyo, and Eisuke. The three worked in concert to get rid of their father's altered last will, which would have left them with no inheritance.

Trivia

• In the intro to the viewers, Mistuhiko asked that last year Conan and Ichikawa Ebizo XI, the special guest for Conan and Ebizo's Kabuki Jūhachiban Mystery, wished them a Happy New Year themselves.
• There is a mistake in the first episode. In the earlier scene, Mitsuyo has the white and black shoes but Kozo's feet does not. Later all three siblings have on the white and black shoes. Important detail cause a person with white and black shoes is the one who trapped Conan.
