Case

Situation

Part 1

Sonoko, Ran, and Conan go to Izu because of Sonoko's schemes to get a man. At the beach, Sonoko takes a picture of Ran fixing her bathing suit and threatens to send the picture to Shinichi. Sonoko is upset about her lack of love life. However, a college student approaches the girls and asks Sonoko to lunch. He appears to be romantically interested and asks Sonoko to dinner as well. They agree to meet at their lodgings later that day. The college student tells the group a story about a brunette that was murdered a year ago and now haunts the restaurant he wants to dine at. The group then finds out that another brunette was murdered in the woods recently in the same manner as the brunette from a year ago.

Murder
290px	Location: Near the railroad tracks Victim: A brown-haired woman Cause of death: Stab wound Suspects: The murderer from a year ago

The group goes to the crime scene and meet Sango Yokomizo who cautions them to stay safe. Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are staying at a cheap inn because Sonoko doesn't want to scare men away by staying at an expensive luxury hotel. In the evening, the three of them wait for the college student to pick them up in his car. Sonoko realizes that she forgot something in her room and goes back up to get it. Here she discovers a suspicious figure searching her bags. The figure attacks her and is about to stab her with a knife when Ran and Conan, worried about the time Sonoko is taking, come to find her.

Robbery - Attempted Murder
	Location: Conan, Ran, and Sonoko's room at the Kawaraya Inn Victim: Sonoko Suzuki Attack Type: Stabbing Suspects: A panty thief? When Sonoko opened the door to the hotel room, she saw a thief rummaging through the luggage. Just as she was about to scream, the thief caught her and was about to attack her with a knife before escaping through the window.

Sonoko is saved and the figure escapes through the window. The stoic, and somewhat unfriendly, high school student (Makoto Kyogoku) that is working at the inn moves the group to another room. Ran thinks she has seen this person somewhere before but cannot remember where. The college student shows up muddy and wet and Conan suspects him of attacking Sonoko. Sonoko says she bit the attacker's bicep in her struggle and Conan makes the college student take off his shirt. However, the college student does not have a bite mark on his arm. Makoto has a bandaged bicep and falls under suspicion but Sonoko says he wasn't the attacker since the attacker was hairy. The college student, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan decide to have dinner at the inn because the college student says his car broke down. Conan speculates that Sonoko's attacker was looking for the photographs she was taking during the trip, but cannot figure out why. Conan does not think there are any incriminating photos after Sonoko shows them (after taking out the one of Ran). Perhaps the murderer overheard Sonoko talking about the photographs and misunderstood. This case is still full of mysteries and Conan cannot figure out why Sonoko was attacked and why the killer would think that she took a picture, that needs to get rid of.

Part 2

Attempted Murder

Location: Parking Road of The "Cursed" Restaurant Victim: Sonoko Suzuki Cause: Car Fell from the Cliff and Exploded Sonoko sleeps inside Michiwaki's Station Wagon, while Conan, Ran and Michiwaki are eating in the restaurant. Just then, Conan realizes that the car is moving and Sonoko is still in the car! Conan and Ran run to stop the car, and just when the car is about to fall into the cliff, Ran broke the window and saved Sonoko in time, and the car fell into the cliff. Conan believes the culprit was the serial killer who attacked Sonoko last night.

While they walk to the police station, Sonoko says that she does have one picture left, which is the one she wants to show Shinichi.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The big man, Terabayashi, is revealed to be a police detective from Chiba and he is not the serial murderer from the past. The actual murderer from one year ago and who tries to kill Sonoko is Tadahiko Michiwaki. He is the one who attacked Sonoko last night and escapes before Ran and Conan came into Sonoko's room. Michiwaki also made his own car move towards the cliff by putting the hand brake down while pretending to talk to her. In order to prevent the car moving, he put an ice on the wheel which later melts because of the air conditioner turned on and allows the car to move.

Attempted Murder
	Location: Forest Victim: Sonoko Suzuki Attack Type: Stabbing Culprit: Tadahiko Michiwaki

The motive Michiwaki murdered many brown-haired woman is because he was rejected by his brown-haired girlfriend and Sonoko and the previous victims kinda resembles the one who rejected him. Another reason why he is targeting Sonoko was that when he killing his latest victim, a train passed by and he felt lights from it. He mistook it as a flash from a camera and when he later saw Sonoko with a camera, he thought that she took a picture of him with the victim and was going to show it to Shinichi, when she talked about the picture of Ran. So he approached the group with the intention to find the picture and destroy it. Conan, Ran and Terabayashi arrived at the scene, but it is almost too late, until Makoto saves Sonoko from being stabbed. He incapacitated Michiwaki easily using his karate moves.

Later, Makoto is revealed to be the captain of Haido High's karate team, which explains why Ran felt that she had met him before. He explains that he once saw Sonoko during a karate competition that both he and Ran were involved into, cheering for Ran in such a spirited way that he felt immediately drawn to her.
