File 787 - Kogoro-san is a Good Man
Ran and her friends discuss how Kogoro san is always coming home late recently and is quite suspicious. Sonoko teases her and says maybe he has a new mistress. Conan has a another theory though and says that the food on his toothbrush and coming home drunk means that he is enjoying himself drinking somewhere. This enrages Ran and she starts bad mouthing her. An passerby scolds her and says she shouldn’t be talking badly about Kogoro especially since she does not know him. Shocked by this Ran replies that Kogoro is her father. The lady explains that Kogoro helps her for free with many cases and problems that she has and that he is a good man. Both Ran and Conan follow the lady home to see if what she says is true. They find out the lady is a landlord to an number of apartments, the lady invites them inside her home for a meal, meanwhile the doorbell rings and there stands a man dressed similar to Kogoro. Realising the man is an imposter Ran blurts out who are you and the man also asks the same question. The old lady is surprised and says this is Kogoro the great detective, however before Ran can blurt out this is untrue. The man pulls Ran’s hand and has a private word outside. There he admits that he is pretending to be the detective because he wants to please the lady since he’s going out with her granddaughter. Later Conan solves the case of why the TV is turning on mysteriously because the remote is under all the mess and the buttons is being pressed. While he solves this next door a murder has taken place.

The deceased man’s name is Gensuke Denkawa, the three people claim that they broke the door down because the noise coming from his apartment was a nuisance. First they called to him but since he did not answer they broke the door down. All three have had a negative experience from the victim. As Conan searches the house he becomes more suspicious he finds that there are two remotes and one is a universal remote.

File 793 - Private Eye
Kogoro is invited to the pre-wedding party (taking place in a bar-restaurant) of Raita Banda, one of his friends in high school, and he attends the party in the company of Ran and Conan. Banda introduces them to his fiancée Hatsune Kamon, and, when prompted by an enthusiastic Ran, the couple reveals that they fell in love at first sight, as both felt that they were destined to meet and be together. Banda adds that when they got to know each other better, they found that their birthday and blood type are the same, and that they had had similar childhood experiences. Furthermore, they discovered that some sort of telepathic connection was seemingly between them, as they knew what the other person was thinking even when both were silent. Ran is happy to see that two people so suited to each other are marrying, but the moment is soon ruined: a waiter (who is dark-skinned) accidentally drops a cake on Banda, staining his trousers and making his sports shoes dirty. When the conversation resumes, the topic becomes Kogoro and Banda being overprotective in high school and not letting anyone approach their crushes (Kogoro’s crush was obviously Eri, and Ran is delighted to learn that Kogoro was once so), which slightly bores Kamon. She thus interrupts the two men and tells Banda that it is almost time for her nail salon appointment: she wanted to put on stick-on fingernails with a nuptial theme.
Now that his fiancée has left (after kissing him goodbye), Banda decides that he should get more involved in the party rather than sitting at a table. As a result, he soon gets drunk, and does not notice that his phone is ringing until the dark-skinned waiter points out. It turns out that Banda has received an email whose attachment is an image capturing Kamon and her stick-on nails, and while he reads the email (in which Kamon tells him that she will be back in half an hour) his other phone also rings. Conan watches him go to the bathroom and hangs up right before entering, and deduces that the person calling Banda must be in there. Soon, a man with sunglasses on (despite it being evening) comes out; he sits at an empty table and tells the dark-skinned waiter (who happens to pass by) to bring a cup of bourbon. Conan finds this man slightly suspicious, and thus asks if Kogoro remembers him (for Banda has invited many former classmates). Kogoro says that he does not, but adds that it might be the case that twenty years have passed since they last met.
The next few panels show that Kamon is back. While parking her car in the parking lot outside the restaurant, she receives a call. Kamon picks up, the caller tells her something, and she suddenly turns frightened. We, the readers, will never know her response, as we are taken back into the restaurant at this moment. Presently a drunk Banda attempts to hit the dark-skinned waiter, and while he manages to dodge Banda’s fist, he drops a glass cup, which ends up cutting Banda’s hand. His former classmates ask whether he wants bandages, and Banda refuses, saying that the only thing he wants is hearing from Kamon. Perhaps because of the telepathic connection, Kamon does call him at that moment. However, she says nothing more than bidding him farewell, which confuses Banda considerably. Then he looks out of the window and finds a car burning in the parking lot.
Kogoro and Conan also have noticed this abnormal situation, and while Banda stands where he is, petrified by the thought that it might be his fiancée’s car, they rush outside to see what is going on. But it is already too late.
The police are notified of the incident and Megure, Takagi and Chiba come to investigate. They confirm that the deceased is Hatsune Kamon, and find one of her stick-on nails under the burnt car and mostly intact. Since they suspect that the nail is there because it fell down during Kamon’s struggle against the hypothetical arsonist and murderer, they have sent the DNA material on the nail to the laboratory for amplication (possibly by using the PCR), hoping to identify the killer in this way. They also have sent the DNA contained in Banda’s hair cells (obtained from his comb, which was in the car) to the laboratory for comparison, and end up finding that the two patterns are nearly identical. Banda is horrified by this outcome, as he knows that it makes the police think that he has burnt his fiancée to death. The dark-skinned waiter agrees with the police’s suspicions, and suggests that perhaps Banda deliberately hit him and got himself hurt to cover up the fact that he had been injured during Kamon’s struggle. This angers Banda, but it is the man wearing the sunglasses that delivers a counterattack: he says that it is also possible that the waiter’s jealousy prompted him to kill whom he loved. Megure is confused by this tense exchange, and Banda, in order to explain the situation, lashes out at the dark-skinned waiter and declares him to be the secret lover of Kamon. The waiter, not scared by Banda’s accusation, replies that they did meet in private, but it was not an affair, as he is a detective and Kamon was a client of his.
And this is how Tooru Amuro makes his first appearance in Detective Conan.
File 794 - Genome
Amuro explains that since Kamon was not completely sure of Banda's loyalty to her, she wanted him to spy on Banda. He continues to say that although Kamon can no longer prove this, the man wearing sunglasses probably can. Megure asks for the reason, and Amuro replies that he is likely a detective hired by Banda in order to spy on Kamon. He then describes the inconspicuous gesture that the man used in order to communicate with Banda as evidence of his deduction, and this forces the man (Sanji Haruoka) to admit that Amuro is correct. Kogoro, who saw Banda get somewhat intimate with various former female classmates during his fiancée’s absence, suggests that Amuro might have reported that to her, which caused her to break down and commit suicide. Amuro disputes this in panic, saying that they stayed in contact only by email, and that they only met in person once (which is why Banda chose to keep trusting Kamon and decided to marry her in the end).
At this point Conan interjects this conversation among adults and asks why the fire burnt so fiercely despite many parts of cars being made from relatively fireproof materials. Takagi explains that the car was indeed fireproof, but there were a lot of inflammable items, such as bottles of paint and cardboards, in the car. Banda clarifies that those things were stored in the car because Kamon and he wanted to decorate the car before the wedding (scheduled on the next day) so as to surprise the invitees, and says that checking the email communications between the couple would show that he is not falsifying. Megure thus takes Banda’s phone; he verifies that Banda is telling the truth, but also deduces from them that Banda knew both the approximate time of her return and the inflammability of the car, and thus could easily sneak out of the restaurant to kill Kamon. Banda, sensing that things are going against him, points out in an attempt to change Megure’s mind that the DNA patterns extracted from his hair and from the stick-on nails were not identical. To his frustration, Amuro says that his point is invalid: since the nail was exposed to water and soil (for it is an evening with heavy rain), the DNA was contaminated, and therefore one cannot expect the patterns to be exactly the same. Amuro keeps on going, which eventually infuriates Banda, and he throws his whole body at Amuro. However, Amuro is able to easily dodge him, and Banda ends up on the floor. As he gets back up, Conan looks at his shoes in curiosity and Kogoro calms him down and advises him to allow the police to do a proper DNA test (i.e. a test where the DNA amplified is extracted from the mucus in his mouth) so that he can prove his innocence. Banda reluctantly agrees, and Ran remarks that thanks to advances in biotechnology, DNA can now reveal the identity of a person, meaning that anyone trying to fake his (or her) identity by changing appearance will be immediately exposed; Conan is made speechless by this comment (although he knows that Ran is definitely not thinking about him and Shinichi) and can do nothing but agree by saying “yeah, yeah” weakly.
Takagi reports to Megure that he has inspected all possible exits from the restaurant. He details that the backdoor was locked, that people could go out through the front door (and risk being seen by other guests) and that theoretically people could climb the window in the bathroom. However, since the area below the window is muddy and watery, anyone exiting through here would leave footprints on the outside and get mud on their shoes and trousers (however, there is no footprint and no guest’s garment has been stained by mud). Megure, who thinks that Takagi’s findings indicate that nobody has left the restaurant for the parking lot, asks the detectives whether they know of anything that might drive Kamon towards suicide. Haruoka can only think of things related to Banda, but Amuro says that he noticed one instance when Kamon was visibly worried. He recounts that by doing some background research about Banda, he found that both Banda and Kamon were orphaned during infancy, with their parents dying in a hotel fire and themselves being rescued from the burning building. They were then sent to an orphanage, and since their parents were not identified both were given new names. Banda was soon adopted by a family, but Kamon remained in the orphanage until adulthood. Megure does not understand why this might worry Kamon, and Amuro says that he does not either, and that all he knows is that when he informed her of this, Kamon said that she would look into it. Conan, on the other hand, is alarmed by Amuro’s words, and asks Ran seriously whether it is the case that Kamon is shorter than her. Ran responds in affirmative, and adds that Kamon is probably around 150 cm tall (Conan thinks to himself that the average height of Japanese female adults is 159 cm).
Presently, Chiba tells Megure that according to the coroner, there are only three stick-on nails on the body, which means that one remains to be found. Conan thinks that he knows where the missing stick-on nail is, and thus heads out (to the parking lot) to look for it. He manages to find the nail with ease, and notices that it has not been contaminated by the rain (which has already stopped), as it is under a van. He reports this to a security guard (or policeman?) nearby and tells him to take it carefully to Megure. Then Conan wanders around the parking lot, thinking that if his deduction is correct then the truth behind Kamon’s death will be a very saddening one.
File 795 - Destined to Re-enter the Flames
The result of the DNA test is out: the DNA extracted from the comb has exactly the same pattern as the DNA extracted from Banda’s mucus, meaning that the DNA attached to the nail is extremely likely to be Banda’s. The police therefore tell Banda that they must take him to the police station for further questioning, and since Kogoro tells Banda that he can do nothing with this unfortunate development, Banda has no choice but to go resignedly. It starts raining heavily again, and as police’s vehicles are parked quite far from the restaurant, Takagi tells him to get ready to be soaked. Banda says that he does not care about the rain, and as he is about to walk out, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro and orders Banda to stop. Conan asks whether Banda can really leave like that, and Banda, not knowing where Kogoro is coming from, responds that there is no other remedy, that he has to go to the police station and strive to prove his innocence.
