Case

Situation

Part 1

While riding the Yurikamome Line towards Wangan Island, Kogoro and Conan witness a man sitting next to them getting shot through the arm from the window. After stopping the bleeding with a scarf borrowed from another passenger, they order the train to stop and explain the situation to a station employee through a phone call. After staff arrived, Kogoro and Conan run towards the place where the culprit could have shot from and ask the staff to call the police. By looking around the surroundings, Conan figures out the shooter must have been posted in a particular apartment building and he convinces Kogoro to go with him there. At the MPD, Megure sends Takagi to the crime location.

Attempted murder
	Location: Yurikamome Line, between Shin-Wangan Toto Station and Wangan Toto Station Victim: Daisuke Maruta Age: 28 years old Cause: Gunshot wound to the left upper arm Suspects: Unknown

From the height of the wound of the victim, Conan deduces the shot must have been made from room 505, but upon investigating the unlocked and empty apartment, they conclude there is not enough evidence to prove the culprit was there. Meanwhile, there are spied upon by a mysterious black figure. Before leaving, Conan uses Kogoro's voice to call Takagi and have him search the apartment more thoroughly with a forensics team. Outside the building, the duo notice a path of blood stains, but Kogoro doesn't find any relation between the attempted murder and the path. He receives a call from Takagi who says that the victim, Daisuke Maruta is in a safe condition and that he didn't seem to have any reason to justify the shot made against him. The police detective also adds that after investigating the apartment, he found from a positive luminol reaction traces of blood in the room and that the bullet found was one from a small handgun, meaning that sniping someone using it would have been excruciatingly difficult, given the distance. Through a hint from Conan, Takagi and Kogoro figure out that Maruta must have been shot by accident. The culprit first shot someone else at a close range inside the apartment, and the bullet pierced the body and reached Maruta by accident. This would explain the blood in the apartment.

Murder ?
	Location: Prime Toto Wangan apartment building Room 505 (Wangan) Victim: Ichiro Akiyama ? Cause of death: Blood loss from gunshot wound ? Suspects: Unknown

Kogoro then understands that the blood path must have been from the culprit carrying the corpse away, since nobody was found inside the apartment. While following the path, they notice a peculiar smell, which leads them towards a car. Inside it was a bound woman. While looking around the car, they see traces of an oil leak and an empty gas tank on the asphalt, and Conan figures out that the culprit wants to make the car explode. From a side building, the mysterious man ignites the trail of gas, and Conan and Kogoro barely manage to free the woman from the car before it explodes.

Kidnapping / Attempted murder
	Location: Street in Wangan Island Victim: Kiyomi Tamura Age: 32 years old Modus operandi: Explosion from gas leak Suspects: Unknown

Later on, Takagi and the police team catches up with them and get the woman's statement. She is Kiyomi Tamura and was kidnapped a while ago while walking on the pavement. Since there seemed to be no reason for her to be kidnapped, the duo conclude that she was used as a bait to lure Conan and Kogoro towards her and buy the culprit some time, the same one who shot Maruta. From their reflections, it seemed that someone carrying a large object would be easily noticeable, and that the only safe place for them to carry the body around would the the Toto Market, where people come and go with substantial merchandise.

Assault
	Location: Toto Market Victim: Man D Modus operandi: Hit from behind Suspects: Unknown

Unfortunately, at the market, it seems that the culprit struck again, after a man found out about the bag they were carrying and was knocked out by them.

One of them might be Ichiro Akiyama, but he had an alibi at the time of the robbery.
