Case
Situation
After hearing about a burglary case from Detective Takagi the Detective Boys head to a pond to witness animal control officers attempting to capture an alligator snapping turtle that was abandoned by its owner. As the group discovers the real owner of the snapping turtle, Kimata, they are surprised to find a man named Nihonmatsu claiming that it's his turtle. Nihonmatsu says he wants to raise the turtle to make up for mistreating his own pet green turtle when he was younger, so Kimata agrees to allow him to raise it. When the animal control officers discover that there's four snapping turtles altogether Nihonmatsu decides to raise all four and makes some unusual statements about turtles causing Conan to become suspicious of him.

When they get there they find the pond is off limits as there's a snapping turtle in the pond. The group chat about it and Mitsuhiko tells the group about it from a book.

Having a non-native animal could disrupt their ecosystem. Conan notices a woman listening in to their conversation so he says to go to the pet shop that the owner would go to. He says they must have bought a lot of small fish to make turtle food.
Conan finds the woman as she starts running after what she said. He confronts her and says she's the one who abandoned the turtle. She explains that she found a boyfriend but he didn't like it. Mitsuhiko annoys Haibara (accidently) and she leaves to do some stuff on her own.
