The Dissappearing Weapon Case is the 135th episode of Detective Conan. It is an episode that is not based off the manga, and is considered a TV original. In the episode, Ayumi's favorite hairdresser is murdered, with the prime suspect being the owner of the salon that the hairdresser worked at. Ayumi's hairdresser was going to leave that salon and join another, and the owner of the salon was seen arguing with her the week before the murder. Inspector Megure and Wataru Takagi take charge of the investigation, and try to help Conan and the Detective Boys solve the case. Conan believes that the salon owner is the murderer, but cannot figure out what weapon she could have used. Conan and the Detective Boys, after a day's worth of searching, find the murder weapon, a coat hanger, because of a bunch of nest-making crows.
