Case
Situation
A woman named Masami Hirota shows up at Kogoro's Detective Agency and asks him to find her father, Kenzo Hirota. She is reunited with her father when they located him in a horse racing track. The next day, Kenzo is found dead and Masami missing. Meanwhile, another detective is tracking Kenzo down for his client, Akira Hirota.

Resolution
Manga to anime changes
In the manga version of the story Gin and Vodka are the masterminds of the case rather than Okita, and they end up killing Masami Hirota/Akemi Miyano who informs Conan of the organization's existence and that they dress in black. Her death is the motive of Shiho Miyano's defection which leads to Ai Haibara's appearance later in the series. Furthermore, Shiho makes a silhouetted appearance when Akemi is demanding for herself and her sister to be free of the organization, which is also omitted. To repair the storyline, episode 128 The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case was written with a similar ending to the manga version.
In 2016, the anime special Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small was released. It finishes with a rendition of Akemi's death that follows the manga rather than the anime.
