Resolution

  Show spoilers »

After Haibara reveals the pattern of the arsonist attack, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko run into the arsonist who attempts to kill them.

Kidnapping
	Location: Warehouse Victim: Ayumi Yoshida Culprit: Serial arsonist

Takagi is revealed to be inside the warehouse the arsonist set fire to. He can't break the handcuffs due to them being a memento from Sato's dead father. Conan manages to arrive in time and stop the arsonist, but does not realize Takagi is in the burning warehouse. Meanwhile, the clock strikes midnight and the suspected bank robber, Shuji Kano, explains everything to Sato, saying how his father saved his life. Sato reveals that due to the typhoon in Italy, the anull date was moved forward by one day. Takagi seemingly dies but appears with his handcuffs attached to the window bars. He collapses in Sato's arms.

As Takagi solved the case of her father's death, Sato honors what her promise to grant a request. Though a bit embarassed, Takagi asks her out on date. Unfortunately, she doubles it with work in order to tail a suspect; Takagi is less than ecstatic about the turn of events.

Trivia
