Case

Situation

The Detective Boys visit a Kamen Yaiba Stunt Show. The director, Shinji Fukamachi, and assisstant director, Hidehiko Nakasato, scold the stunt driver, Kengo Rikiishi, for doing such a dangerous stunt with the car. Kengo blows off their words and has cameraman Daisaku Kijima retake his next shot later. The directors tell Rikiishi that he was to wait for an remote control car identical to his own to do the off the roof scene, which angers Rikiishi and thinks the crew don't respect his skills as a driver. Fukamichi sees Masao Nishiwaki, the mechanical technician, on the readiness of the cars for a retake. The kids go and meet with the crew, and Mitsuhiko and Genta go see the cars which Genta places a sticker on the remote control car, to make it look cooler, but the technician comes to take it to the roof. The kids are having fun until they hear a fight. Rikiishi has had enough of the director telling him not to do the stunt again that he does it in a blind rage, which is caught on film by Kijima. As he makes it to the top, Rikiishi didn't get out and dies on impact.

Accident?
	Victim: Kengo Rikiishi Suspects: Shinji Fukamachi, Hidehiko Nakasato, Daisaku Kijima, and Masao Nishiwaki

Conan sees the seat belt was loose, meaning Rikiishi tried to get out, but something prevented him from getting out. Conan and the crew look at the footage of the event, then someone alerted the police and Conan pursues them. The kids mistake Conan's actions as him investigating without them, and follow him to the roof where he says the accident was a carefully planned murder. As Megure takes statements from the crew, who explain Rikiishi's want to do the stunt was what killed him, and each fight with each other saying who they think is the killer.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Conan uses Agasa to solve the case by proving Shinji Fukamachi is the killer who prompted Rikiishi to do the stunt. Fukamachi had Car A, which had no air bomb, driven by Rikiishi which was right where he was. But Rikiishi swapt Car A for B on the roof unaware of the bomb being in Car A, and Conan shows the sticker was on the car- until Genta says he put one on both cars. But Conan shows the corner of the coat was caught on the car which crashed, but not on the one on camera when it started. Conan pulls the remote from Fukamachi's pocket and has Nishiwaki prove the crashed car is the remote control car and the Fukamachi had it lock the seat belt to hold Rikiishi as he fell. Fukamachi confesses and states that he was in debt and used the production money to pay it off, also Rikiishi didn't drive but the remote control was driven by the remote preventing him from getting out.

On their way home, Genta is full, Ayumi is fawning over her autograph by Yaiba, and Mitsuhiko, Agasa, and Conan are covered in stickers by Genta.
