**Conan remembers the Vodka lookalike saying "I can finally have a smoke". Conan realizes this must be because the transaction the men in black had with the person in the dining car cannot stand the smell of smoke. Therefore the person with the bomb must be in a non-smoking car of the train. According to Mitsuhiko there are eight non-smoking cars on the bullet train.

EP5 Case.jpg

Location: Bullet train
Victim: Everyone on the bullet train
Suspects: Two men in black
Conan and Ran accompany Kogoro on the bullet train to go to Kogoro's friend's wedding when Conan overhears two men in black talking about a bomb set to go off on the train. If Conan doesn't find the briefcase with the bomb in time, everyone's lives on the bullet train are in danger!

    • In the manga, the two men in black are in fact Gin and Vodka. It is here that Conan first learns of their codenames.
    • Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko didn't appear in the manga version of the story. Thus, it's Ran who deposits the gum that Conan uses.
    • The manga version ends with Conan reflecting on the knowledge he learned about the two men in black. Ran's questioning of his true identity doesn't occur here, but in The Coded Map of the City Case (which follows the story in the manga rather than preceeding it).
