Case

Situation

Every ten years, a so-called "Jewelry Washing Festival" is held at Tsubaki Shrine. Jewels that are washed by the water in the shrine's well will supposedly shine brighter and their value will increase. With such great outcomes, only wealthy people, jewelry store owners, and luxury car owners come to the festival as participants. One participant, named Yoko Matsuda, comes to the shrine for this festival, and her driver is none other than "Detective Taxi" Genki Ishikawa. As Ishikawa looks at the various luxury cars of other participants, he notices a suspicious-looking duo taking pictures of those cars, and decides that a case is abound.

Mysterious people?
	Location: Tsubaki Shrine parking lot Suspects: Suspicious-looking duo Ishikawa noticed this duo are secretly taking pictures of the "Jewelry Washing Festival" participant's cars for unknown purpose.

After dropping off Matsuda at the festival, Ishikawa head straight to Mouri's Detective Agency to inform him of the issue. He invites Kogoro to join him, but Kogoro turns down Ishikawa's request, citing that Ran's request of making sandwiches for Conan is more important. Ishikawa decides to investigate the situation by himself, but before he leaves, Kogoro gives him half of a sandwich which Kogoro messed up. Ishikawa eats Kogoro's sandwich on the way back to the shrine. But as soon as Ishikawa comes back to Tsubaki Shrine to investigate the suspicious duo, he hears a scream and rushes into the shrine grounds. He finds Matsuda to have passed out on the ground. But as soon as she wakes up, she screams again, and Ishikawa is knocked out by an unknown person.

Back at the detective agency, Kogoro and Conan are eating their sandwiches (with Conan noting that Kogoro has put too much ketchup) when they hear a TV news report of a robbery that had taken place at Tsubaki Shrine. This prompts Kogoro and Conan to rush to the shrine and investigate what happened. Upon getting to the shrine though, they find the police leaving and after asking the shrine maid of what happened, the shrine maid confirms that it was only an attempted robbery.

But, in the end, they find out it was in a bucket around the well that was used for washing jewelry. She seems embarrassed when she left after she was question by the police.

But no one has seen a taxi driver named Genki Ishikawa, even though a taxi is still parked by the shrine. Kogoro confirms that this is Ishikawa's taxi, and after he opens the trunk of the taxi, Ishikawa is found tied up.

Resolution

Kogoro and Ishikawa initially came to the conclusion that the robber wasn't came after the jewels, but the washing fee, as every participants had to pay 100,000 yen in advance. However, the money are safe and accounted for. Conan later came to a conclusion, after hearing that the suspicious duo were taking pictures of participant car's license plates, that Yoko Matsuda was faking the attempted robbery to create a commotion and lead the shrine staffs away from the main building. So the suspicious duo can get in the shrine and take information of the shrine's jewelry record. The reason to take the participant's license plates is because they can be used to identify the name and address of the owners. Which they can cross-examine with the jewelry record to find who has the most jewels and plan out a robbery crime.

However, they didn't expect Ishikawa to came in before the shrine staffs. And because Matsuda have a red-colored mark on his mouth from eating Kogoro's sandwitch (as Kogoro was putting too much ketchup) Matsuda was terrified by his face and let out the second scream which they didn't plan for. This prompted one of the suspicious duo to attack Ishikawa and trapped him in the taxi truck to keep him away.

After hearing from the shrine maiden that the person who washed the most jewelry, that is the owner the Ginza branch of New York jewelry store named Wonder Jewelry has left the shrine a while ago. Ishikawa drive his taxi (with Conan on board) to catch up with the owner. However, by the time they catch up with her, she was already robbed by Matsuda and her suspicious duo.

Ishikawa's taxi did catch up to the suspicious duo with the purse, but they threw it to Matsuda and tried using the road traffic to get away from the taxi. However, Ishikawa and Conan eventually found them, thanks the jewelry they're wearing shine brighter than usual as they were washed by Tsubaki Shine's well water.
