Case

Situation

Part 1

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan visit Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, with the introduction of Hiroki Oi, a lawyer they met in a preview case. The client is Makoto Izumiya, the fourth generation owner of a long-established puffer fish restaurant Izumiya, and his daughter Kaede. It is said that, when the store was at its busiest and no one was in the house, a burglar broke in and stole the heirloom pot. It's an expensive hot pot, but what's important to them is the soup stock that comes out of the hot pot's skin, which has been steeped in the umami flavor since the restaurant's founding. Conan and the others go to interview four suspect candidates narrowed down by the police.

Robbery
	Location: Izumiya household, Shimonoseki Victim: Makoto Izumiya and Kaede Izumiya Age: 58 years old (Makoto) and 22 years old (Kaede) Robbed item: Izumiya family's special pot Suspects: Yasushi Kobayashi, Shinichi Fujii, Satoru Daiehara, and Keisuke Ban

There are four suspects: Yasushi Kobayashi, an employee at a restaurant at Kanmon Wharf who was arrested two years ago for robbing Izumiya restaurant; Shinichi Fujii, the owner of Kan restaurant chain who failed to buy Izumiya; Satoru Daiehara, the owner of King Arthur restaurant who knows about Izumiya's pot; and Keisuke Ban, a former employee at Izumiya who was fired. They start to investigate by going to visit each suspects and ask them questions, while also traveling in different places. At the night, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan visit an izakaya where they start their deductions, but when they exit the Izakaya, the robber is seen and chased by Ran, but before escaping, he attacks Kogoro with a bottle.

Attempted Murder
	Location: Street near Izakaya Uzushio Victim: Kogoro Mouri Age: 38 years old Attack types: Bashing Suspects: Yasushi Kobayashi, Shinichi Fujii, Satoru Daiehara, and Keisuke Ban

The police examine all of the security camera footage from Kyushu to Honshu on the day of the theft (e.g. Kanmon Tunnel, Mojiko Retro, Shin-Shimonoseki, and Shimonoseki station platforms), and none of the suspects appears in the camera footage. In addition to that all of them have perfect alibis, then what trick did the culprit use?

Part 2

Docotor says that Kogoro is fine after all, and he will be fully recovered in two weeks. Kogoro claims that he will proceed his investigation, uttered by Conan using his voice-changing bowtie. Oi phones Conan informing that the coworker who verified Kobayashi's alibi lied, which implies that he no longer has an alibi. Due to the fear of accusation plus he had a criminal record formerly, Kobayashi attempts to run away, heading towards Shin-Shimonoseki station. So, is Kobayashi the true culprit? And how did they cross the Kanmon Channel without appearing within the camera footage?

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The culprit is Satoru Daiehara. He instigated Yasushi Kobayashi to commit the theft two years ago, this way, it will offer him a suitable motive. He knew that Kobayashi didn't have an alibi on the day of the crime, and anticipated that Kobayashi will probably fabricate an alibi himself since he is on probation, he came up with this plan to make Kobayashi the biggest suspect. Kogoro starts his deductions, told by Conan, he first excludes Kobayashi because he was accused of faking his alibi and was utilized by the culprit. He then precludes Keisuke Ban out of the suspect list because Ban lied, he was actually stalking Kaede so persistently that he was arrested by the police. Ban took advantage of Kaede kindness not turn it into a police matter. He tried to attack Kaede but Kaede went to a boxing gym to learn self defence because of Ban so she defended herself from him and said she should have done it right from the start.

The mystery of Kanmon Channel

In order to get to Honshu, and implement the crime, the culprit has to go across the Kanmon Channel. And the truth turns out to be that Daiehara swam to the other side of the channel, by wearing a drysuit. A poor swimmer can even accomplish swimming the Antarctic Ocean with the suit's buoyancy and its fins. Conan pointed out that from the photo Daiehara sent to Kogoro for his alibi, he was wearing a dive computer on his wrist rather than a normal watch. This means that Daiehara has a diving license.

Evidences

According to Daiehara's medical certificate, it has been two months and fifteen days ever since he broke his leg. The recovery period will be three months, however, Conan uses Kogoro as an example, Kogoro is currently on the second day of his two-week recovery, and he is doing totally fine. Therefore, Daiehara's medical certificate may not be a vigorous proof. Oi allows Makoto and Kaede to taste the dish made by Daiehara. Since it is cooked using their heirloom pot, the food must be steeped in the umami flavor, that the Izumiya restaurant owner will recognize. And both of them insisted that the dish was cooked using that pot.

Seeing the truth being revealed, Daiehara confesses and decides to destroy the pot. Fortunately, Conan successfully saves the pot before reaching the ground.

Attempted Destruction
	Location: Boiled Fugu Grand Prix field Object: Izumiya family's special pot Culprit: Satoru Daiehara
