File 114 - An Unexpected Meeting
At the Baker Hotel, Mantendo gaming company reveals their new products, including a mystery game starring Kogoro as the player's assistant. However, Kogoro is hungover from the alcohol at the pre-release party the night before, and the alcohol names he mentions reminds Conan of his true goal, finding the men in black. At the coat check, Conan, Ran, and Kogoro encounter three of the game's developers: Hideaki Nakajima, who started the game project, Koji Ueda, who claims to have had the initial idea, and Hironobu Takeshite. Koji mentions that Hideaki is good at stealing from others, but Koji will be generous because he heard Hideaki is having trouble with creditors. Kogoro trades in their belongings at the coat check, at which point Hironobu points out the time and he and Koji jump the queue to join Hideaki in checking their briefcases before the event starts. Ran notices that all three cases are identical, with the company logo, which was implemented by the director for brand awareness. The director appears and orders the developers to their places, right before Ran finally receives her cloakroom tag, 100, which she thinks is a sign of good luck.
In the display hall, Ran does well playing the various games. The developers invite Ran to participate in a strength-measuring booth with them. Hideaki gets a high score due to a history of boxing, and tells Ran it's good for releasing stress. Thinking of her frustration about Shinichi, Ran beats Hideaki's score by a wide margin. Conan passes on participating with the bathroom as an excuse, and Hideaki goes along with him. On the way, they bump into a large man dressed in black. Conan sees the man again on their way back, trading tag 98 for a Mantendo-employee briefcase. Conan is curious, but decides it's not his problem until he overhears the man start a phone-call by identifying himself as Tequila and promising to meet Gin and Vodka later. Conan is so shocked that he drops his coin wallet, and uses the distraction and Vodka's dismissal of him to sneak a bug-tracker on the bottom of Vodka's shoe. He tracks Vodka into the toilets and overhears him mutter to himself that something won't go in, but something else is open—and a moment later, the entirety of the toilet are is engulfed in an explosion.
