Case

Situation

Part 1

Conan, the Detective Boys, Haibara, and Agasa, are all watching a soccer game involving the Tokyo Spirits and Noir. The game is a thrilling sudden death game with an exciting finish! However, somewhere in the stadium, lurks a man holding a rare knife. While everyone walks out of the stadium, they see on a store television, a game involving the Osaka team, Haibara takes special interest in a certain player on the team, Higo, because his situation in soccer closely mirrors, to her, her situation with the Black Organization, though she never admits this. He is considered a "traitor" by fans, for going from one team to another, and even fans of his own team are saying boo at him when he makes errors. While Haibara and the Detective Boys are focused on the game, Conan asks Agasa about if he has new information on Sharon Vineyard, and learns that a famous Japanese actress attended the funeral, but no one remembers who it was. While they watch the game on the TV, they spot a man known as a "Hooligan", a man who takes pride on starting trouble and riots in soccer matches. While everyone including is on a train packed with Noir and Tokyo supporters, the hooligan is found murdered, stabbed inside of the train.

Resolution

The culprit is Etsutoshi Oba. A year before his twin brother was killed by Kadotake Akano during a Noir Tokyo game. Akano wrote on his website that he killed a man because he couldn't stand the violent phrases written on his site. Oba knew that man was his twin brother because when he met with Akano he said, "You're still alive?" So he decided to kill him to avenge his brother but he was incriminated because his brother's T-shirt. This belonged to the opposing team but Oba didn't know that because he wasn't a supporter and he followed the match via radio to avoid the victim disappear into the crowd, which was the evidence to incriminate him. In fact, he couldn't have followed the match with a T-shirt of the opposing team.
