Case

Situation

Agasa and the Detective Boys are having dinner at a restaurant. Mitsuhiko notices silhouettes of two people sitting in front of each other from the apartment across the restaurant and tells the others. The man approaches the woman and seemingly want to kiss her. However, the man suddenly starts attacking the woman.

Attempted Murder?
	Location: Yuko Kokubun's apartment Victim: Yuko Kokubun? Age: 26 years old Methods: Beating and strangling Suspects: Yuko Kokubun's boyfriend

A police officer quickly arrives at the scene. From the intercom, the woman admits that she is living with a large dog and what the Detective Boys saw was the dog playing with her. To confirm this, the officer asks the woman's permission to look around, but she only permits the police to come alone. The police later confirmed that only the woman is living there and nothing happened.

The next day, the Detective Boys go to Detective Agency to ask Conan about the case. They explain what happened and how the couple looked from their perspectives. They later argue and Mitsuhiko mentions that they've got everything backwards. Hearing that, Conan thinks again about the case and realizes what actually happened.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Yuko Kokubun new appearance.

It turns out that in actuality, Yuko Kokubun had short hair, while her boyfriend had long hair, that means Yuko Kokubun murdered her boyfriend. She placed his body in a large suitcase and brought it to Haido Town Flower Park, where she was hosting an event there.

Man D
	Victim (bashed) Yuko's boyfriend

Using Kogoro's voice and a Kogoro-shaped paper, Conan confronts Kokubun. Kokubun's motive is that her boyfriend borrowed a lot of money, he also spent the money on other women and forced Kokubun to pay all his debts. Her boyfriend also tried to dump Kokubun.

Kokubun's suspicion increases when Kogoro's silhouette suddenly moves and when the paper almost got burned. After making sure that no one is around, she takes out a knife and approaches the bush where Conan is hiding.

Attempted Murder
	Location: Haido Town Flower Park Victim: Conan Edogawa Age: 6-7 years old Method: Stabbing Culprit: Yuko Kokubun

Fortunately, Takagi arrives on time and quickly arrests Kokubun.

Trivia
