Case

Situation

Part 1

The Detective Boys attend an animal show starring a white lion named Leon. Outside, a man named James Black, is mistaken by reporters for Randy Hawk, a rich man who sponsors zoos and animal shows. The Detective Boys lead him out of the crowd of reporters by pretending he is their English teacher after Conan realizes that his accent is British by the way James says "can." Professor Agasa reveals that Randy Hawk has a Southern accent. In return for their help, James offers to treat them to lunch and leaves to get his car only to be mistaken for Hawks and kidnapped for ransom.

Kidnapping
290px	Location: Street Hostage: James Black Culprits: Three fake police officers When James Black came to get his car, two fake police officers confront James Black and claim that the vehicle was reported stolen. When they order James to get in their police car, James tells them that he has to inform his friends about it but suddenly they kidnap him.

Growing concerned, the Detective Boys search for James. Their investigation leads them to believe he was kidnapped. They find James' strap from the animal show in an alley way and discover blood on the letters P, &, A on the strap.

Ayumi notices that James Black still has her Detective Badge, allowing Conan to trace the signal and have Sato set up a road block intercepting the vehicle. The kidnappers manage to elude the road block since their vehicle is disguised as a police car.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

James attempts to convince the kidnappers of their mistake, but they assume he likes to take on different identities. However, the real Mr. Randy Hawks is heard over the radio; the kidnappers are shocked by their own idiocy. They decide to kill Black to cover up their tracks, and try again. Conan discerns the message P & A, revealing that when alphabetized, spell Panda. Conan concludes James is referring to the black and white colors of a panda to police cars. Since the kidnappers are armed, Conan tells the police a plan to save James safely. The police feign a car chase and slowly surround the kidnappers car. They suddenly braked, throwing them off guard and apprehended the criminals. Black disappears before he is questioned and is driven away by the mysterious Shuichi Akai.

Manga to anime changes

• The animal show is a bit longer in the anime with it starting of with a clown, bear, elephants and horses. Also, the manga starts with showing the exterior of the building, while the anime doesn't.
• The anime extends the scene where the kids going by as James Black is kidnapped as they observe the event.

Remastered version

• A remastered version of this case was aired on April 5, 2014 (Part 1) and April 12, 2014 (Part 2).

Trivia

• James Black refers to Conan as "Cool Guy" which is what Vermouth called him. Unlike Jodie Saintemillion, she refers to Conan as "Cool Kid".
• This is the second time that Conan encounters Shuichi Akai after the bus hijacking case.
• The fake police car is a 1989 Nissan Skyline Keisatsu [R32].
• The six police cars that followed the fake police car are a 2001 Daihatsu Mira [L700S] (Yumi's car), a 1991 Toyota Crown [S140] (white & gray police cars), and two Nissan Skylines [R32].
• When Conan is telling the police officers present about the Panda colors of the Police Cars, and that the younger generation may not know this information about their black and white cars, Takagi asks himself, "What generation is this kid from?"
• This is the first case, if not the only case that Agasa and the 5 Detective Boys encounter James Black, and he will call the kids the "Baker Street Irregulars," which he is the first person to use that phrase for them.
• Although James Black does look different, however he does share a similar appearance to Edward Crowe, a freelance journalist, from The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case, and both are from England.
• This is the third case with 2 different opening songs: destiny and Winter Bells.
• This is the case that James said that he was born on Baker Street.
• This is also the case that James said that although he "was born in Holmes' London, he matured in Chicago, the windy city that Capone starred."
• Although in Boy Genta's Misfortune, Sato may have had the police stake out a building based on information from Conan, this is the first case that she is shown on a phone call with Conan, and begins organizing a road block with Yumi, based on Conan's word of a foreigner may have been kidnapped, even when Takagi was hesitant, since he is not positive yet, and has not figured out the code yet.
• This is the first time that Haibara sensed the black organization aura coming from Shuichi Akai or him since the The Mysterious Passenger case, although he only saw her from the back this time, in contrast to barely being able to see the girl covered entirely in a red coat.
• Although we have seen Yumi Miyamoto riding in a patrol car, this is the first time that we see her doing any police traffic work, such as looking for someone in a road block.
• This is the first time that Conan "crafted" a plan, and the police go along with it.
• This case has stated that Yumi has went out with some officers from the Saitama prefecture.
• This is the first case where James will call Conan "Cool Guy," and seemed he knew that Conan organized the police operation that rescued him, and also called him "Sherlock."
• This is the case that Haibara notes that James Black's name is similar to James Bond, and both are British as well. Conan points out that there is another British man with a similar name: James Moriarty, made even more by the way the he disappeared before the police could question him.
• This case, Conan was aware that Shuichi Akai was watching them earlier from his car, and remembering him from the bus jacking, even though he appeared unaware of it at the time.

  Show spoilers »

• Although James might only have encountered the 5 children together in this episode, he will eventually give Haibara and Conan a different name, which differentiates them from the others.
• This is the first if not the only encounter that Haibara does have with James Black.
• Conan will encounter James Black several more times, however this case is the first, and he is unaware that James Black is F.B.I.
• London was the first place that ever referred to their police cars as "pandas."
• At the beginning of the case, James Black stated that he was planning to meet a 'long-haired' friend, which is revealed to be Shuichi Akai, who cut his hair.
• Apparently Black told Akai what little that Conan had to go on, and they were impressed with the police operation that Conan planned to.
• In this case, Akai said his girlfriend left him, however it will be revealed later that she was murdered, and he probably knew who by too.
