Golden Apple Case

File 351 - Golden Apple 2

Sharon laments about her troubled life, mentioning her daughter, Chris

Sharon Vineyard speaks of her past filled with misfortunes, mentioning her daughter, Chris Vineyard. She reveals that Chris and her had fallen out, and haven't seen each other in over ten years as Chris had begun "hanging out with a bad crowd." Sharon escorts Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the dressing room to meet the cast: Lilas Sanchez, Rose Hewitt, Akane Neilson, and Iberis Hamilton. After brief introductions, Iberis mentions a mysterious gift sent to the actresses, a golden apple with the words "For the Fairest" written on it. Then, Heath Flockhart, the star actor, enters the room recommending to show their guests backstage.
While exploring the narrow gaps that make up the backstage, Ran notices the play's costumes hung up on the ceiling. Suddenly, a tether snaps causing a large armor piece to fall onto the group. Most manage to escape, but Rose's dress is caught on a sign. Seeing this, Ran rushes over and tackles her out of the way as the armor crashes onto the floor. Rose suspects that she's being targeted, stating that the prop mirror — which is the cast's lucky charm — must've given her the luck to survive. Sharon, however, points to Ran as Rose's savior. After Rose expresses her gratitude to her, Ran notices she's scraped her arm. Sharon hands her a handkerchief before leaving the set, saying that she has "something to take care of."

Sharon hands Ran a handkerchief

Yukiko and Ran enjoy the performance while Shinichi calls it cliche. He explains that the play is based on an ancient Greek myth where a festival is held on Mount Olympus where most of the Gods are invited. Eris, the Goddess of discord, however, is not invited. Angered, she throws a Golden Apple with the words "For the Fairest" into the crowd. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite see the apple challenging them to determine who the apple is for, letting a Trojan Prince decide. Shinichi explains that Lilas plays Hera, Akane plays Athena, and Rose plays Aphrodite with Iberis playing Eris and that in the end, it is Aphrodite who is chosen by the prince. Yukiko then states that this show is different from the Greek myth and that there is a twist at the end. Heath, who was playing the Trojan Prince, reveals himself as the Christian Archangel, Michael. Before Michael can reveal the answer to Eris' question, Shinichi notices a red beam of light coming from the audience and into the smokescreen shrouding the stage. Michael is then lifted into the air by the stage cables but to everyone's horror, he is shown dead.

File 352 - Golden Apple 3

The Dead Archangel

Pandemonium ensues as Michael (played by Heath) is shot. Shinichi rushes up to the spectator box from which he saw the red beam of light. All that is left is a single bullet cartridge. Radish Redwood examines Heath's body, learning that he was shot at an angle of 40 degrees. Yukiko arrives, recounting the events of Heath's assassination to the police. Meanwhile, Shinichi pulls on Redwood's face to test if he's still a disguise worn by Sharon Vineyard.

Redwood discovers strange burn marks under Heath's neck, as well as smudged blood on Heath's hands despite there being no traces of him touching his bloodstained costume. With Yusaku unavailable, Ran entertains the idea of Shinichi solving the case, citing his contributions to the murder case on the airplane on the way to New York.[1] Hearing Ran's praise, Yukiko is surprised by her son's apparent proficiency at deduction. Shinichi concludes that the murderer is one of the four actresses on stage alongside Heath. The gun cartridge Shinichi had found in the spectator box wasn't hot, meaning it wasn't fired and instead placed there to throw off the investigation. Shinichi also says that the falling armor was likely not an accident as he found a cut on the floor as well as a segment of nylon string — the same type of nylon string found on the armor. Redwood and Yukiko then press Shinichi on how someone less than 6ft tall could shoot Heath from a higher angle, but Shinichi confesses that he hasn't figured that out yet.

Shinichi investigates the scratched mirror behind Ran.

Later, the four actresses are seen fidgeting with various items while arguing about their flings they each had with Heath. However, Yukiko reveals to Redwood and Ran that Iberis was Heath's wife but decided to keep it a secret from her colleagues.
Shinichi goes to investigate the mirror in which the murder took place. He asks Ran to hold up a pamphlet above her head to grasp Heath's height. Comparing the simulated height to the mirror's height, Shinichi notices that the all-important mirror has been truncated, leaving a visible mark on the glass. Shinichi goes around the back of the mirror and sees a feather from Heath's costume stuck on a grate that seemingly covers nothing. He lifts the grate to see two streaks of blood running across the floor.

File 353 - Golden Apple 4

Shinichi wishes to examine the costumes that are hung above the stage, much to the dismay of the theater workers. Yukiko arrives, charming the men into giving up information. While Redwood and his associate discuss the possibility of an outside perpetrator, the lights suddenly shut off on stage. Yukiko, under the name "The Night Baroness," appears in the spotlight, reciting the deduction Shinichi had told her explained to her. Meanwhile, Shinichi explains to Ran his deduction.

A mysterious long-haired Japanese man stands before Ran.

Yukiko departs to the police station for questioning, leaving Shinichi and Ran to go to the hotel. But before she leaves, she warns them of the serial killer: a long-haired Japanese man. On the cab ride, Shinichi notices Ran in a dazed state, asking her if Rose's words had gotten to her. She denies it. Ran leaves the cab window open, claiming that she can see the New York views better that way. Shinichi protests that the cab's interior will get wet from rain, but Ran says she'll use the handkerchief Sharon gave her to wipe the seat, but a sudden gust of wind blows the cloth out of her hands and into the streets. Ran immediately asked the driver to stop so she could retrieve it. Shinichi notices the handkerchief stuck on the service staircase of a dilapidated building and sets off to get it. As he leaves, Ran remembers Sharon's words, "I wonder if there is God. If he truly existed, he wouldn't let such a cruel thing happen," and Rose's words, "Thank you... You helped me to make it." Ran suspects Sharon knew Rose would kill Heath; that's why she pitied Ran for letting such a heinous thing happen. Wallowing in her rush of emotions, she notices someone approaching. Standing before her is a long-haired Japanese man.

File 354 - Golden Apple 5

Ran is petrified at seeing the long-haired man she believes is the infamous serial killer. The cab driver also thinks this, urging Ran to jump in, but as she remains frozen, the driver speeds off. The man then asks Ran if she is Japanese and if she has seen a suspicious, sparsely bearded Japanese man with long dyed silver hair. Then, an associate of the long-haired man drives up and converses about their target. It's revealed that the serial killer recently got into a shootout with the long-haired man and is in the area. He pulls Ran aside and tells her to leave. Unable to leave Shinichi behind, Ran enters the dilapidated structure to inform him of the news. She spots a trail of blood at the entrance leading to the service staircase. She begins to experience delirium from her fever but chooses to press on. Hearing footsteps descend the stairs, Ran rushes forward, believing it to be Shinichi, but to her horror, it's the serial killer. Shinichi trails him, yelling for Ran to hide.

Shinichi carries Ran down the stairs.

With the serial killer's hiding spot discovered and Ran in his way, he elects to shoot her. He leans against a rusty railing uttering the words, "If you're going to resent someone, resent God who prepared this cruel ending for you." While preparing his silencer, the railing breaks, causing the killer to fall off the staircase, but before he plummets to his doom, Ran grabs onto him saving his life. She's followed by Shinichi, who helps her drag the man up. The serial killer questions why the two of them would save him, to which Shinichi responds, "Is a reason necessary? I don't know why you would kill someone, but as for saving someone...A logical mind isn't needed, right?" Hearing his words, Ran is put at ease, believing she was justified in saving Rose's life. She then falls unconscious due to her fever.
Shinichi carries his childhood friend down the stairs, confident that the serial killer would not fire his gun without a silencer. Not in the position to take action, Shinichi proceeds to let the serial killer go, threatening to throw him in prison if they ever meet again.
A day later, Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran are seen at Central Park. Yukiko converses with Sharon on the phone about the previous night's events and how Shinichi had called the police on the serial killer. However, by the time they had arrived, the killer had apparently taken his own life. Ran has also recovered but seemingly has no recollection of recent events. Sharon concludes the call by asking Yukiko to tell Ran, "Just like you said, perhaps an angel was looking out for me after all."
In the present day, Ran awakens from her sleep at the hospital. Kogoro and Conan are there to greet her, attributing Ran's sudden fever to exhaustion from overworking. The two leave her for the night as she reflects on her sudden regaining of memories. She realizes that she had fallen in love with Shinichi after he justified saving people to the serial killer at the service staircase. She also recalls the long-haired Japanese man who told her to leave, remembering that his associate wore a jacket with the words "FBI" written on it.

  • Haunted Apartment Case

    File 355 - Mystery of the Haunted House 1

    Doctor Araide reassures that Ran is healthy.

    Conan (speaking as Shinichi) expresses his worries about Ran's recent fever on the phone. Ran states how she had regained memories of the events in New York, questioning Shinichi about the whereabouts of Sharon Vineyard's handkerchief. Shinichi makes up an excuse, concealing the fact that he lost it. He also talks about the suspicious suicide of the New York serial killer. He explains that it doesn't make sense for a man about to commit suicide to clean his hideout, believing that the serial killer had tried to cover his tracks before fleeing, only to have been murdered before the police arrived. Noticing someone at the door, Ran goes to open it, oblivious to the fact that it is her caller, Conan. Ran is startled to see him, saying that she thought Conan was a ghost.
    Later, at Doctor Araide's clinic, Kogoro laughs at Ran's fear of ghosts while Araide confirms that she has fully recovered. The three, along with Conan, walk through the winding halls of Araide's house. At the same time, Araide explains that his grandmother and helper have already traveled to the Aomori prefecture, and he stays to direct his patients to different clinics. The group runs into a particularly stubborn patient, Houichi Otonashi, who Araide explains won't go to the clinic he had recommended. Otonashi claims that his apartment is haunted, daring Conan to come and investigate.

    A bright yellow apparition appears down the hall.

    Kogoro, Ran, and Conan follow Otonashi to his weathered apartment building. Before the apartment is a park where the scorched remains of a young woman were once discovered, while beside the apartment is a construction site put on indefinite hiatus as the client had hanged himself.
    Inside, they meet Kikuji Bancho, a tenant who works at a miniature shop and is into making dolls. They also meet Iwahisa Yotsuya, a tenant who's into tokusatsu films and anime. And finally, they meet Tsuyuhiko Botan, a graduate university student who remains the only tenant to have not sighted the supernatural. Otonashi explains how the strange occurrences began when he spotted a fireball swirling outside the window. Since then, countless supernatural events have driven out half the apartment's tenants.
    The three guests fall asleep in Otonashi's room. Ran wakes up to see the television inexplicably play footage of a frightening woman with burn scars repeating the words: "Get out." Her screams awaken the others; after determining that there is nothing wrong with the TV, Kogoro leaves to seek out the bathroom. As Kogoro attempts to flush the filthy toilet, the water is replaced with blood. The commotion wakes up the other tenants. Botan inspects the toilet tank but sees no irregularities. The group is given no time to think as a bright yellow apparition appears in the window down the hall.

    File 356 - Mystery of the Haunted House 2

    Bancho walks forward to slide the window open, proving that there's no one on the other side. He says it must've been the restless spirit of the woman who was burned to death in the park next door. Skeptical, Kogoro believes that the prankster must've scurried onto the roof. However, he soon realizes that the window is on a completely flat wall, leaving no room for anyone to stand. Additionally, Ran says that the apparition had an amorphous profile, meaning it wasn't a reflection of anything corporeal. Otonashi reveals that the burned woman's name was Rui Tabuchi, and she was murdered by two men, both of whom are not yet apprehended. The identity of one of the killers is known, but the other remains a total mystery. Ran is frightened by a moth clinging to Kogoro's shirt; Yotsuya states that the moths are attracted to light and tend to gather in swarms.
    Conan goes to investigate the bathroom. Kogoro remarks that the foul stench has disappeared, and Conan smells alcohol from the toilet tank. While searching the TV and the outdoor AC unit, Conan asks Otonashi on what part of the construction site he saw the fireball, to which Otonashi replies the center. Otonashi also points to Bancho and Yotsuya as they witnessed the fireball from their rooms.
    Yotsuya's room is filled with VHS tapes and mangas. He says he saw the fireball when visiting his senior's former room, which is directly above his own. Conan notices that Yotsuya owns an 8mm film camera. Bancho's room is littered with intricate and dynamic dolls that seemingly change form when shined on with blacklight. Bancho claims that he saw the fireball from a window not pointing at the construction site. While the trio visits Botan's room, another moth clings to Kogoro's shirt, prompting Conan to re-examine the apparition's window. Conan believes that the culprit set up these elaborate illusions to hide evidence linked to the burning of Rui Tabuchi.

    File 357 - Mystery of the Haunted House 3

    Kogoro and Ran are preparing to leave, but Conan feigns wanting to use the bathroom, pleading for Kogoro to accompany him.

    Sonoko frightens Ran.


    Sometime later, Ran, Conan, and Sonoko walk through the streets of Beika. Ran explains how she has gotten over her fear of ghosts, prompting Sonoko to play a prank on her. Ran is easily frightened and runs off screaming. Sonoko stands amused by Ran's fear of the supernatural, calling it her "charm point."

  • Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case

    Characters introduced

    File 358 - Disappearing Mitsuhiko 1

    The Detective Boys ask Mitsuhiko's older sister about the whereabouts of her brother.

    The Detective Boys and Professor Agasa participate in the community's radio calisthenics session. Haibara points out how Mitsuhiko is not present and hasn't been for the past few days. Believing he is sick, the Detective Boys visit Mitsuhiko's house, where his older sister, Asami Tsuburaya, greets them. Asami says that Mitsuhiko was packing for a trip last night, packing Sasa Dangos for food; coupled with the fact that he took his wallet with him, Conan theorizes that Mitsuhiko traveled somewhere far away. The group also notices that Mitsuhiko has only been absent from the radio calisthenics on Sundays. Genta wonders if he's going on a date with someone, to which Asami recalls Mitsuhiko got excited after a girl working at the florist called him "cool."
    The Detective Boys then go to the florist girl and inquire about their friend. She states that she remembers Mitsuhiko talking to people about "Uesugi, Takeda, Toyotomi, and Tokugawa," exciting Ayumi and Genta. The girl also recalled that an inconspicuous Mitsuhiko had boarded the local bus in the morning and that he smelled like lemon.
    The Detective Boys then ask the bus driver if he remembers picking up Mitsuhiko. The bus driver confirms that he did board, noting that he suspiciously didn't gaze out of the window like most kids do and instead fixed his eyes straight forward. The bus driver also says that Mitsuhiko got off at Beika Station.

    Inspector Yamamura reveals that serial killer, Numabuchi Ki'ichiro, is loose in the forest.

    The Detective Boys ask the station attendants if they saw Mitsuhiko. The attendant says he remembers a capped boy with a lemon scent hustling to exchange his adult ticket with a child ticket. Since he paid ¥1900 for his train ticket, he must've traveled to a station in either the Chiba or Gunma prefecture.
    The Detective Boys arrive at a rural station in Gunma right as the sun begins to set. Conan sees the signal from Mitsuhiko's Detective Badge, confirming that he is near. They track the signal to a forest, where they notice a large group of people crowded amongst the shrubs. The Detective Boys go to ask if they saw their friend but find that the crowd is the Gunma Prefectural Police led by Inspector Misao Yamamura.
    Inspector Yamamura tells the boys to leave immediately, whispering that the serial killer, Ki'ichiro Numabuchi, had just escaped from their custody and into the woods. Knowing Mitsuhiko is also somewhere in the woods, Conan desperately rings his detective badge to alert him of the danger.

    File 359 - Disappearing Mitsuhiko 2

    Inspector Yamamura is shocked to learn that a child is lost in the forest. But after hearing that the Detective Boys used their gimmicky gadgets to figure out Mitsuhiko's location, he becomes skeptical. Conan steps forward to show him his glasses but notices it is out of battery. The other men arrive to scold Yamamura for losing Numabuchi before ordering him to send the children back to a safe place.

    Ayumi spots a hiding Numabuchi.

    The Detective Boys, escorted by Inspector Yamamura, look for Mitsuhiko as they leave the forest. As nightfall descends on the woods, Ayumi and Genta show off their Wristwatch Flashlights, leading Yamamura to believe that the boys were not lying about their gadgets and that a boy is, in fact, lost in the forest. Yamamura scurries to inform his colleagues but realizes he left his phone in his car. Devastated by his failure to hold onto Numabuchi and inform his superiors about the missing child, Yamamura falls to his knees. He reflects on how he finally realized his dream of becoming a police inspector (after watching detective dramas as a kid), only to fail titanically. Seeing the distraught detective, Conan reminds him of the recent spectacular deeds the inspector has done, citing his deductions in all the cases where Conan knocked him out with the stun gun wristwatch and used him as the detective. Inspired, Yamamura rises, accepting Agasa's offer to help find Mitsuhiko. He also says that from now on, he wishes to go by: "Mr. Yama."
    An exhausted Mitsuhiko stands by a small river. He notices that his detective badge is buzzing; he's comforted by his friends actively looking for him but chooses not to answer, believing that his mission would be in vain.

    Mitsuhiko encounters Numabuchi.

    Meanwhile, inspector Yamamura reveals that during questioning, Numabuchi claimed he had killed an additional person (which would boost his kill count to four). He apparently buried the remains in the forest behind his hometown. Yamamura also talks about how Numabuchi didn't seem like he wanted to escape as he spoke of often visiting the woods in his childhood.
    With no physical clues as to where he is, the group decides to consider what Mitsuhiko was doing with his sasa dangos, lemon scent, and knowledge of Japanese warlords. Conan says that the smell of lemon is likely from the sunscreen he brought with him, as it had the dual functionality of being bug repellent. Ayumi suddenly notices Numabuchi hiding in the trees directly above them. Discovered, the serial killer jumps down and disappears back into the forest. Haibara is left in shock after sensing a horrifying aura coming from Numabuchi. Inspector Yamamura likens Numabuchi's tree climbing skills to Ushiwakamaru's flying ability. Ushiwakamaru triggers Conan's epiphany as he realizes what Mitsuhiko's motivations are, along with his current location. He sets off to bring his friend home.
    Mitsuhiko is at his limit, unable to walk much further. He determines that he can no longer continue his plan and must call his friends. Hearing Conan's voice in the distance, a joyous Mitsuhiko steps forward but runs into Numabuchi. The latter grins, stating that the two of them are the same.

    File 360 - Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3

    Haibara believes she's being desensitized to danger.

    While Conan frantically searches for his friend using the detective badge, Numabuchi ominously stands before a terrified Mitsuhiko. Conan considers if Numabuchi has already abducted Mitsuhiko, but then he runs into the remaining Gunma police force. He informs the officers of Mitsuhiko as the rest of the Detective Boys arrive. The senior officer reprimands Yamamura for losing Numabuchi again before extending the operation to a potential hostage crisis. Conan states that Mitsuhiko has to be near the small river, but Haibara finds Mitsuhiko's hat, saying that Mitsuhiko was likely in a situation that didn't let him retrieve it. Conan finds sweat on the rim of the cap, believing that it hasn't been long since Mitsuhiko dropped the hat. Additionally, Conan believes Mitsuhiko didn't answer his detective badge because his hands weren't free.

    Numabuchi was set to be a test subject for the APTX4869.

    Expecting the worst, Ayumi and Genta debate how to distinguish Numabuchi from the police in the darkness. Haibara proceeds to detail Numabuchi's description with unexpected precision.
    She then reveals to Conan and professor Agasa that Numabuchi was associated with the Black Organization. The organization originally hired him as one of their assassins, but his mental instability made him unfit. The organization transferred him to Haibara's department, set to become a subject to test the nascent APTX4869 on. Numabuchi would escape before the test, aimlessly running from the organization and committing several murders.
    Conan asks why Haibara couldn't sense the Black Organization's aura on him. Haibara responds that her quiet life with the Detective Boys is slowly desensitizing her to the dangers and that her days may be numbered. Conan reassures her, and the two continue their search for Mitsuhiko.
    Ayumi and Genta hear Mitsuhiko's badge, believing their friend must be near. They pull back the bush to see Numabuchi holding Mitsuhiko. The Gunma police are alerted to the scene as Numabuchi compliantly releases Mitsuhiko while telling everyone to shut their lights off.

    A few days later, at school, Ayumi converses with Haibara about sightings of a Tsuchinoko—a mythical Japanese creature. Ayumi then expresses interest in seeing one herself. Hearing this, Genta and Mitsuhiko consider searching for one themselves in an attempt to impress the girls.

  • Onikame Island Case

    File 361 - Death Island

    The four protagonists at the beach.

    At a beach in Okinawa, Heiji and an unenthusiastic Conan attempt to deduce what kind of swimsuits girls are wearing. Kazuha and Ran catch the two, and the former mocks Heiji for playing such a lascivious activity with an elementary schooler. Heiji suspects she's upset as he made her wait in front of the BIGMAN at Umeda station for too long. Kazuha vehemently denies it—clearly signaling that she is upset. Kazuha reveals that she followed Heiji to Okinawa not because Heiji was trying to make it up to her but because Ran was tagging along with Kogoro, who, along with Heiji, is set to star in an "East vs. West" match deciding who is the greater detective. Heiji is irritated by Kogoro's cocky attitude he expresses to the cameras, fully aware of the latter's fraudulent nature. Heiji overhears the director, Masao Taketomi, asking everyone to prepare as they plan on previewing the setting for tomorrow's shoot: an uninhabited island where a corpse and a mysterious message were discovered. Taketomi asks Heiji if he wants to tag along. After brief consideration, Heiji grabs Conan and accepts the offer.

    Kazuha wonders what Heiji will call her.

    The boat approaches the island, Funaurajima, more commonly known as Onigamejima (English: Demon Turtle Island), shaped like a turtle. Heiji says that the tourist business dried up after several crimes such as kidnappings and robberies were committed against mayor Kaneshiro's household. The mayor called the TV station to set the detective showdown on Funaurajima so they could revive its image and popularity.
    Heiji spots two men, Noburou Ikema and Yoshitsugu Kume, flirting with Kazuha and Ran. Annoyed, he pulls Kazuha away, almost claiming that "she's his," but instead labels her as a "random childhood friend." Yoshie Taira and Mikihiko Daito introduce themselves along with the boat's captain, Takashi Shimoji, who remains silent. Ikema and Kume scare the girls with tales of soul-sucking demons, while Heiji deduces that Taira's swimsuit will be white but soon sees her in the ocean wearing a black wetsuit.

    Taira Yoshie is found strangled on the beach along with another message.

    Heiji and Conan read the relevant mysterious message that's been etched into a beam of a dilapidated structure: "The princess sleeps in the Ko and not the Otsu (姫眠るは甲なりて乙にあらず)." Taketomi explains that people discovered an emaciated corpse leaning on the message's beam a year ago. It's theorized that he was a passenger on a boat that capsized due to massive hurricanes from the previous year. Kazuha wonders why someone would construct a house on an uninhabited island, to which Taira answers that mayor Kaneshiro built it to be a vacation getaway, but hurricanes eventually tore it apart. Heiji is pleased to see that, just like his deduction, Taira wore a white bikini under her wetsuit. Daito says that the island has changed since the last time he saw it, adding that until two years ago, he fished for mackerel near the island's waters. Ikema and Kume say that this island was a perfect place for diving, but they were the only two who'd still come around after the crimes. Taketomi sends the crew to scout for interesting locations on the island while he discusses matters with Heiji.
    Later that day, most of the crew returned to the boat. Conan and Heiji ponder the message's meaning. Because Ko (甲), Otsu (乙), and Hei (丙) was an ancient ranking system of one, two, and three, the detectives vaguely theorize that it's trying to say that "the princess is sleeping at one, not two." Ran and Kazuha worries about Taira as it has been an hour since everyone else returned. They wonder if she's still diving which alerts Conan and Heiji. The two boys sprint off and split up; Conan and Ran go around one side of the island while Heiji and Kazuha go around the other. The two converge at the opposite end only to see a deceased Taira with strangulation marks around her neck and another message written in the sand.
