Case

Situation

Part 1

The Detective Boys accompanied Ayumi to an apartment where she was promised by the owners, to replace her own broken ningyō (traditional Japanese doll), a complete set of 7-tier Hinamatsuri dolls if she could correctly position the dolls. Conan surprised Ai by his knowledge of how the individual dolls were to be arranged, what was supposed to be a girl's hobby. Conan revealed he had been made to help Ran organizing the dolls when he was younger. After the dolls were correctly assembled, a neighbour came by and brought along a professional art connoisseur to verify the genuineness of an Edo era Raijin antique painting scroll hung openly in the apartment. The neighbour wanted persuade the owners to let him buy it to complement the Fūjin picture he already acquired. However, as it was an heirloom, the owners refused to sell. The connoisseur was upset at the lack of care in how the antique artwork was treated. Both left shortly, after the neighbour reminded the owners they were having financial difficulties. The children went on an errand to buy wine for the owners to make amazake as a treat for them. When they came back, they ran into the connoisseur who claimed he left his mobile behind. Reaching the apartment, they discovered nobody answered the door which was unlocked, and upon entry, discovered the apartment in a mess and the valuable painting had disappeared.

Robbery
	Location: Kanno family residence Suspects: Setsuko Kanno, Yayoi Kanno, Mizutaka Tsumagari, and Yoshiharu Mie

Part 2

The police was called into what appears to be a break-in that occurred while all occupants happened to be out. However, Conan pointed out the clues which narrowed down the suspects to the neighbor who had been trying to purchase the painting without success, the art connoisseur, the old lady who lived in the apartment with her son and daughter-in-law, the son being absent from the story as he was at work the whole time. Conan also noticed that though the positions of the dolls had been disturbed, it reflected the traditional precedence was given to the left over the right, a custom which was only changed during the Meiji era. The more obvious suspects would be the old lady who originally came from Kyoto in Kansai region where many older traditions were still observed and the connoisseur who would have specialist knowledge of the subject.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Yayoi Kanno. She didn't want to sell the scroll because she believed that when she sold the other part of the set years ago, the loss of the family guardian caused misfortune and she did not want it to occur again. In order to keep from being pressured to sell, she faked the theft. Afterwards, Inspector Momose simply closed the case without prosecuting her. Ayumi decided not to take the Hina dolls, considering that maybe her Hina doll got injured to protect her from misfortune, but asked Mrs. Kanno to take a picture of the Detective Boys instead. They sat on the steps of the staircase, facing opposite of the sun, which then Mrs. Kanno remarked them as Hina dolls. As Ayumi and Conan sat on the top row, it resembled the Emperor and Empress, much to Ayumi's crush on Conan and Conan's obliviousness although he perfectly memorized the Hina doll settings. Immediately afterwards, Mitsuhiko dragged Haibara to the top row and Genta joined force, resulting in a comical photo of five (disgruntled) "musicians".

Trivia

• Shinichi helped Ran with arranging her festival dolls for Girls day when they were little.
• This is the third case that Haibara mentioned that she was sent to learn in America, when she was very little.
• This is the first case that Haibara went into any detail when reminiscing about her parents that died shortly after she was born.
• This is the case that Haibara told Conan that her father was given a nickname, "Mad Scientist."
• This is the first case that Conan really became aware that she inherited her parents research on that drug, and asked her what is it supposed to do, and she revealed, "It's a nostrum to raise the dead. I wonder if that answer is satisfactory?," although she may have answered it that way in order for Conan to confess what happened in Contact with the Black Organization, so that may not be the true purpose of the drug.
• After Conan confessed, Haibara did tell him that "You can relax. The purpose of my research wasn't to create a crazy drug like that," although she did not tell him exactly what she was aiming for with that drug.
• The original airdate for part one was March 3, 2003, and the date on the fax stated 03-Mar-03, which happens to be the original airdate.
• In this case, Conan told Inspector Momose that he loves to study ancient history books.
• This is the first case that Mitsuhiko asked Conan, if not the only case, "I have always been wondering... How come you sound childish every time you talk to adults?," In short, Mitsuhiko and Genta have both observed that Conan talks childish with MOST adults, and even Ayumi, however she thinks its cute, when Genta and Mitsuhiko think it is creepy.
  • To be more precise this is the case that the 'real' children in the Detective Boys brought to Conan's attention that they noticed that he tends to talk and sound childish when he is talking to most adults, in contrast to how he does not talk with them. (He talks like himself, a smart high-schooler, with these kids.)
  • So far, he is unable to talk like himself in front of everyone but Jodie and James. Sato and Takagi in moderation, but no one else at this time, except Heiji Hattori.
