Case

Situation

Part 1

Jirokichi Suzuki receives a letter from the thief, Kaitou Kid which reveals that Kid plans on opening Jirokichi's impenetrable safe, the Iron Tanuki.

Heist

Thief: Kaitou Kid Target: Iron Tanuki Owner: Jirokichi Suzuki Location: Suzuki's house Advanced Notice: It came to me, Senior Advisor Suzuki. That we should stop these senseless bouts of ours and take on the compliant nature of a newborn. When darkness consumes the moon, await me at the grand safe kept precious in your family home and look forward to my surpassing it. A safe that was constructed during the Tokugawa shogunate period by the master of traps, Samizu Kichiemon, just prior to his death.

The letter however is not written in Kid's usual style raising the idea that an imposter is after Jirokichi's safe. Sonoko invites Ran, Kogoro, and Conan to Jirokichi's house. After examining the security of the safe, Kaitou Kid's card, in its usual style, is found confirming Kaitou Kid's plan to open the safe. Conan suspects that Kaitou Kid is one of the three newly hired workers of Jirokichi. Jirokichi however continues to proclaim it to be the work of an imposter, causing Conan to suspect Jirokichi as Kid himself.

Part 2

The nearly hired maid and adviser inform Conan of Jirokichi's strange behavior. They reveal that after dinner, two plates are always missing and Jirokichi always brings his cane with him to the safe. Jirokichi asks the maid for a hand and they head to his room. Jirokichi leaves with his bodyguard for a drive. Shortly after, an unconscious Jirokichi is found tied up and his room and a note of Kaitou Kid is found on the safe. This causes the whole police force that are guarding the safe to abandon their position and chase after "Jirokichi".

Conan meanwhile enters the room with the safe revealing Mizuki Seto was Kaitou Kid in disguise. Conan reveals the first message by "Kaitou Kid" was actually done by Jirokichi asking for Kid's assistance. Conan also reveals Jirokichi purposely placed suspicion on himself in order to clear the area of cops so Kaitou Kid could open the safe. Inside the safe is revealed to be Jirokichi's dog, Lupin who was stuck inside since few days with the scarf on which Jirokichi had written the safe combination to remember it.

Trivia

• In the first episode, at roughly 15 to 16 minutes in, when the scene shows the inspector holding the card with the others in the safe room, Sonoko's hair is oddly colored black. This is then seen again in the next episode during the recap where they show the same scene.
• Suspects' surnames come from Japanese words that are related to stealing.
  • Gotō - Gōtō (強盗 , "robbery")
  • Seto - Settō (窃盗 , "theft")
  • Akitsu - Akisu (空き巣 , "burglar")
• Zengo Goto & Jirokiji Suzuki Car is a Two Tone Gray Silver Black Maybach 57 [W240].
