Bumper Brawn
File 859 - Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate
On a heavily raining day, Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Sera and Kogoro go bowling in Gunma. Makoto, who has just returned to Japan, is also coming, and Sonoko plans to introduce him to Sera. But, Sera is very curious, she quickly loses her patience, and cuddles Sonoko in an attempt to make her tell her who the person is. As she does so, Makoto arrives, and since he mistakenly thinks that Sera is a guy getting too intimate with his girlfriend, puts his hand on her shoulder forcefully and gives her a death stare. Sera takes the death stare as a sign that Makoto is challenging her, and a fight ensues. Sonoko is delighted by this scene, as she has been waiting for it for a long time; this means that Ran has to step in to stop the fight in the end. After resolving the misunderstanding and introducing themselves to each other, Makoto asks who taught Sera Jeet Kune Do, as he has learned from their brief engagement that Sera is quite good at it. Sera cites her brother (who, according to her, is three times as good as she is at it) as her teacher, which confuses Conan, who thought that her brother is dead. Sera clarifies that she actually has two elder brothers: the older between them taught her martial arts, and is probably dead; the younger one is whom she called during the last case. Sera continues to say that her second brother looks like their father (unlike her and the first brother), is very intelligent, and sometimes discusses cases with her. In addition, he has very important work to do, and thus is reluctant to share with Sera the specifics of his work and where he lives. Sera concludes by saying that her second brother thought that her deduction in the last case was problematic (which it was), and that Conan could rectify it for her. Conan replies that all credit should go to Shinichi; Sera smiles at him upon hearing this, which makes Conan think in dismay that maybe Sera already knows his identity.
At this moment two middle school teachers (named Michiko Monna and Sunami Masaki respectively) approach Makoto to apologize for their fellow teacher (called Masahiro Tanba) having picked a fight with him after drinking. Makoto says that he does not mind, and learns that Tanba is not injured by his punch and is now sleeping in their car. He then joins Sonoko and her friends in bowling, but as he is about to throw the bowling ball he hears Sonoko cheering for him. This makes Makoto blush and becomes a distraction for him, and the ball ends up causing massive vandalization instead of hitting the pins. Makoto thus smiles awkwardly, saying that bowling is not for him; combined with the fact that he still suffers from jet lag, he decides to go rest in Kogoro’s rented car.
A while later, Monna, out of worry, leaves the bowling alley to check on Tanba. When she returns she says that Tanba is missing. Kogoro offers to help (not because he suddenly turns warm-hearted, but because he has been bowling with the two teachers for a while and finds them quite attractive), and Conan and company join in. After a thorough search of the surrounding area, Masaki finds Tanba dead in a small porta-potty in the bowling alley’s parking lot. There are signs that he has been drowned somewhere else and dragged to the porta-potty; and since Tanba was a tall and robust man, Sera deduces that unless several people were involved in transporting the body, the murderer must be extraordinarily strong. Could it be the case that Makoto is the murderer, given that nobody knows where he was during the last few hours (Makoto did not rejoin the group until after the discovery of the body), and he just had a fight with Tanba?
File 860 - The Smell of Kerosene
The rain stops as Yamamura arrives to investigate; he is informed by Kogoro that they actually searched the parking lot two times. During the first search there was no sign of Tanba, for which the searchers went to the bars nearby to look for him, and stayed in those streets for an hour. After yielding nothing there either, they went back to the parking lot, and this time the body appeared. Yamamura asks whether they looked into the porta-potty specifically during the first parking lot search, and the two teachers respond that they did not enter, because there was a sign reading “OUT OF SERVICE”, and the door was padlocked.
Presently a subordinate of Yamamura tells him that the victim died around 5:30, which was when the first parking lot search ended. From these pieces of information, Yamamura deduces that Tanba was removed from their car before Monna went there to check on him, and that after everybody had gone to look for him in bars, the murderer drowned him and dragged him into the porta-potty. Yamamura then asks whether anyone holds a grudge against Tanba, which allows him to quickly learn that he fought with Makoto just a few hours before his unfortunate end. Since Makoto has no valid alibi, Yamamura determines that he is guilty and swiftly handcuffs him. Kogoro tells Yamamura that pronouncing Makoto to be guilty with so few clues is rather inappropriate, but the strongest protest of all comes from Sonoko. She puts herself between Yamamura and a confused Makoto, and declares (while blushing) that someone as outstanding and caring as Makoto must be innocent. This does not convince Yamamura, but after learning that Tanba was electrocuted by a stun gun before being killed and that Makoto is a national karate champion (who obviously has no need for a stun gun for self-protection), he agrees to take the handcuffs off Makoto; he also complains that Makoto should have told him that earlier (Conan remarks that Yamamura already knows Makoto from Sonoko’s handkerchief case).
The investigation continues (more accurately, Sera and Conan continue the investigation, as it starts raining again and Yamamura and Kogoro have gone inside the bowling alley to take shelter). They learn that due to land subsidence in the area, water would accumulate around it whenever it rains; this seems to be a major clue. In addition, the two detectives notice plenty of mud on the lower parts of the wall of the porta-potty, find evidence that duct tape once sealed the door and covered the ventilation grills located at the back of the porta-potty (curiously, the ventilation grills near the bottom of the door were not affected), and realize that kerosene was a part of the murderer’s trick. These clues allow them to see that it is possible that Tanba was actually drowned in the porta-potty.
Having inspected the porta-potty fully, Sera and Conan go indoors as well. There, they are told that a long, clear mark is present on the lower abdomen of Tanba’s body, which might mean that the murderer transported Tanba by grabbing his belt. They also learn that the police have found in the rubbish bin beside the porta-potty a wet towel and four cans burnt around the tear line and with odors resembling kerosene. Upon seeing these, Conan immediately rushes out, believing that there is one critical part of the porta-potty that he previously ignored. Sera quietly follows him there, and both find that a large portion of the ceiling has been burnt. This is the last piece of evidence that they need, and now both have a theory of what happened. However, partially because of her failure in the previous case, Sera is not very confident in herself, and so sends her deduction to her second brother to ask for his nod, and mentions that “he” (i.e. Conan) has gotten to the bottom already. The brother does not comment on her deduction, and instead asks who the “he” refers to. Sera thus sends him a photo of Conan, expecting the brother to be surprised, but she ends up being the one surprised: the reply of her brother is “if it is him then there is no problem”. Sera does not understand why his brother knows about Conan.
