Case

Situation

Part 1

It's summer vacation and the Detective Boys (along with Agasa) are gathered on the school ground for morning radio exercises. When Mitsuhiko doesn't show up for the exercise, Conan, Genta, Ayumi, Haibara and Agasa decide to visit Mitsuhiko, believing that he was ill. Mitsuhiko's older sister, Asami Tsuburaya, tells them that he left saying that there was a "camping trip" with the Detective Boys; concerned, the kids and Agasa set off a journey into the forest in search of their best friend.

Missing Person
	Location: Gunma Forest Victim: Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya When Mitsuhiko suddenly disappeared, it's up to the Detective Boys to find out where he is! But, that place is also where the police attempted to re-catch the criminal, Ki'ichiro Numabuchi!

Part 2

In the forest, the Detective Boys and Agasa runs into Officer Yamamura of the Gunma Police. He tells them that they have let loose a very dangerous criminal killer known as Ki'ichiro Numabuchi by accident, and that they were in search for him. Having met with this serial killer once before in Osaka (Episode 118), Conan knew how dangerous Numabuchi is already... but as the day grows darker and as Conan later finds out from Haibara that Numabuchi was an ex-member of the black organization, things get a bit more serious.
