Case

Part 1

Heiji and Kazuha are invited by Kogoro, Ran, and Conan to Jirokichi's Suzuki Museum to witness the world's largest conch pearl, the Fairy's Lip. Once again, they meet inspector Nakamori who reveals that once again, Kaitou Kid plans to steal it, but there is another law enforcer, inspector Taka'aki Morofushi from Nagano's prefectural police. He reveals that he went to Tokyo to retrieve something that was adressed to him and that he was curious, so he assisted Nakamori's investigation. Naeji Torigoe, the Fairy's Lip's current owner, shows up and tells Jirokichi that if the jewel was to be stolen, he had to pay him back generously, with a large smirk. At the same time, Moena Yamamoto, a company employee, is able to break through security and asks Torigoe to give the jewel back, because it actually belonged to her grandfather who received it after successfully operating a rich caribbean businessman decades ago. Torigoe shoves her away and sees that he discovered it in Mie Prefecture's Ago bay just a few years ago. After listening to their conversation, Kaitou Kid, disguised as a riot squad member, decides to act and makes inspector Nakamori walk on one of his cards stuck on the floor, saying he will steal the jewel tonight. Will he succeed?

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Kid disguised as Kazuha enters in the room by making a excuse to take his phone and a black fog covers and left a drill hole in the middle with many fake Fairy's Lip. It is decided that Kid has stolen and the guards turns off the Air Conditioner which melts the ice. Conan and Inspector Taka'aki then discovers that Kid is disguised as Kazuha.

While everyone are resting in the library, Kid (as Kazuha) sneaks out to check the ice which already melted to center and asks a guard that he want to search something. He picks the Fairy's Lip, but suddenly cornered by the team of officers and guards. It is revealed that they wanted to catch Kid in action.

However, Kid escapes and returns the Fairy's Lip to its true owner Moena Yamamoto and tells the story of how her grandfather was given the Fairy's Lip.

It is also revealed by Heiji that Naeji Torigoe is a fake owner and got him arrested, since he lied about the location of the pearl's kind. He probably read online the story of how the owner's grandfather got the pearl from a billionaire in gratitude for helping his wife giving birth safely, and decided to swindle the pearl from the owner. Even though Heiji wasn't able to identify the fake Kazuha until the end, when asked by the real one, he says that he did realize that since the fake one didn't have seaweed stuck in her mouth.

Aftermath

After the case is solved, Taka'aki meets up with Sato and Takagi to receive the envelope adressed to him, which is found in Wataru Date locker. Inside is a broken cellphone with a hole on it. It is revealed that Scotch's real name is Hiromitsu Morofushi, and that he is Taka'aki's younger brother. He, along with Wataru Date, Kenji Hagiwara, Jinpei Matsuda, and Rei Furuya used to attend the police academy together. Taka'aki receives his brother's broken cellphone and realizes that Hiromitsu has been working for the Public Security Bureau and died while undercover. Taka'aki then recalls a time, where he talked to his brother and where the latter told him about his friend, who was nicknamed "Zero".

Trivia

• This is the last episode where Kosei Tomita voices Jirokichi Suzuki, as he passed away after a stroke on September 27, 2020.
• This is the first time Heiji meets Kaitou Kid in person canonically, both disguised and undisguised. Previous to this, they met in The Private Eyes' Requiem and Follow the Vanished Diamond! Conan & Heiji vs. Kid!.

  Show spoilers »

• The names of the suspects are a clue to whom the jewel really belongs to:

• Naeji Torigoe (鳥越 苗路) contains the characters "鳥" and "路", which when combined together read as heron, "Sagi" (鷺). "Sagi" also means "fraud" (詐欺).
• On the other hand, Moena Yamamoto (山本 萌奈) comes from "Hon'namono" (本なもの), which means "real thing", as her name contains "本" and "na", as well as "mo" from "mono".

Manga to anime changes

• Moena Yamamoto has blonde hair in the manga, while the anime changed her hair to black.
• In the manga, Ran is the one who questions if Heiji has really recognised that Kazuha is Kaito KID as they go together to see the sleeping quarters, which prompts them all to check. But this clue is removed in the anime.

Remastered version

Cast (flashback and new scenes)

Characters
Conan Edogawa Ran Mouri Heiji Hattori Kazuha Toyama Kaitou Kid Yakumaru Kidnapper A Kusukawa

On March 30, 2024, a remastered version of the episode was aired to promote The Million-dollar Pentagram. The two episodes were edited and combined into one hour-long special, along with some OST changes and additional content:

In the beginning, Heiji recaps some of his past moments with Kazuha in the past. The scenes from the past include:

• Episode 118: The Naniwa Serial Murder Case
• Episode 324: Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation! (Part 2)
• Episode 764: Conan and Heiji, Code of Love (Part 2)

After the end credits, a new scene is added. In it, Heiji approaches Kazuha in the middle of the flower field. They then begin to kiss each other. Fortunately, before their lips meet, Heiji opens his eyes and is surprised that Kaitou Kid is in Kazuha's place instead.

This is revealed to be a dream, as he daydreams while researching places for the confession. Then he gets a call from Kazuha, reminding him they have plans to get okonomiyaki with Mikiko Hiramoto. But their sounds are loud enough that people at the library start looking at Heiji. So he quickly takes the books and leaves the library, dropping one book without realizing it. The book opens on a page about Hakodate, famous for its "One million dollar night view."

Unlike other remastered episodes, this is labeled as "SP1" on the official website, and Crunchyroll, which usually skipped remasters, simulcasted the episode.
