Case

Situation

Part 1

Conan, Ran, and Sonoko are cleaning up Shinchi's house, and their chat goes from Sonoko complaining about doing this in summer break to Ran wondering who could have been Shinichi's first love and Sonoko speculating whether Ran was his fist love or not. Almost as if on cue, an old classmate stops by to check on Shinichi's well-being, then joins the group in their cleaning: her name is Asami Uchida, she used to be the student council president of Teitan Highschool and she now attends a local art-centered university as a literature major.

While helping Conan and the girls with their work, Asami mentions that she'll throw her birthday party in a nearby bungalow that she and her friends rented specially for the event. She had come to personally invite Shinichi, however, and drops hints about a love confession that he might have given her four years ago. Sonoko mentions rumors about a younger student stalking Asami in these days, and Ran concludes that Asami was Shinichi's first love. Sonoko manages to rope Asami into inviting them as well, and Kogoro agrees to go there, once he learns one of the people has been a three time beauty contest winner.

The party starts normally, with the additional perk that it's also a celebration for Asami winning a literary prize and a beauty contest, and everyone seems to have quite a good time. A pretty girl named Tomoko teases the handsome Manabu about being a playboy, but he ignores it and focuses on complimenting Kogoro for having a way with words. Around the same time the older students, Morimoto, Chika and Noguchi mention Asami's accomplishments: she defeated Morimoto in the literary contest, Chika was just a runner-up for the beauty one that she won, and she was a part of the couple that won a mixed tennis tournament that Noguchi participated in as well.

In the meantime, Ran and Asami are baking Asami's trademark recipe: lemon pie. (Asami forgot to bring the one she already baked). The pie itself looks messy since Ran had never baked any pies, but it actually tastes good; Asami says what matters is what's on the inside, rather than how it looks.

The party goes on well, and the bungalow's fax machine gets a fax from one of Asami's professors, wishing her a happy birthday.; Asami herself, however, is feeling like crap all of a sudden so she's taking a nap. Sawai and mentions a nearby karaoke parlor where they already booked a room, saying they should let Asami sleep and go there for a while...

As everyone has fun, Sonoko notices Ran is rather mopey instead. She mentions how Asami is sweet, gorgeous, smart, once was the manager of the school's soccer club that Shinichi was a member of, and looks like she's super perfect... so she guesses that Shinichi admires Asami quite a bit and correctly deduced that Ran is feeling inferior to her. Ran mentions that Asami said Shinichi likes lemon pie a lot and offered to teach her (Ran) the recipe, and confirms that she feels like she can't compare to Asami. Sonoko tries to cheer her up by saying Asami is herself and so is Ran, so she shouldn't bring herself down.

Aroud 3 AM, the group started getting ready to return to the rented bungalow nevermind one or two problems (like Noguchi being drunk, Sawai taking too long to bring cigarettes or Kogoro being for too long in the restroom). They decide to go back and then go to bed so they can clean it up in the morning... but then they look through the window and the bungalow is on fire, and Asami is probably inside it! a mysterious illnesses seem to hit the birthday girl so she decides to lay down for a while. As the others go out to drink and have some smokes, the bungalow Asami is catches fire, and the still sleepy girl is trapped inside. Is this all an accident, did Asami either try to commit suicide or call the others's attention via faking a life-or-death incident -- or is something sinister in the works?

Attempted Suicide?
	Location: Bungalow Victim: Asami Uchida Suspects: Manabu Sawai, Tomoko Hayasaka, Shigehisa Noguchi, Chika Miyazaki, and Yoshinobu Morimoto Ran puts on a driving helmet, kicks the door open and rescues Asami. She and Conan find Asami lying on the floor with no burn marks, which means she is safe and sound. But this is odd, since she was lying on a couch...

Part 2

The Fire Chief believes either an attempted suicide has just been prevented or else candles caused an unfortunate accident, but when Conan finds two sheets of paper saying the same thing and learns that two others don't fit together, he must figure out a way to prove attempted murder was on someone's mind.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Manabu Sawai is the culprit. He set up the birthday cake with lit candles on a chair below the fax machine and sent a fax from a convenience store while pretending to use the phone, so the received fax caught fire in the house. He also drugged Asami so she wouldn't be able to get out of the burning place on her own; that's the actual reason why she suddenly felt weakened and had to lay down, eventually falling asleep and being trapped in the fire.

Sawai's motive was to actually save Asami's life and thus catch her attention and gratitude, after having been rejected by her the previous month. He also said he just only want a small fire and did not expect the fire spread fast... so Conan uses Kogoro's voice to VERY angrily tell Sawai that it was foolish to do such a thing, since he put an innocent girl's life in danger solely to be her knight in shining armor and didn't even think of any possible complications - he only was thinking of himself, and saw Asami as a prize.

Asami wakes up from her drug-induced sleep and steps in, confronting Sawai. She says she experienced the same thing when she had her love confession rejected by Shinichi and finishes by saying that nobody can use force to open someone’s heart.

Later, Asami reveals to Ran and Sonoko that she was bluffing when she said she was Shinichi's first love. In reality, she was kinda close to Shinichi since she was the manager of the soccer team when he was a member of it, but when she once asked Shinichi to be her boyfriend, he turned her request down. Asami asked him why and he said that he's always liked someone "strong-willed and stubborn, though she cries a lot," since he was little. Sonoko realizes that Shinichi must have meant Ran, but Ran is oblivious.
