File 873 - Red Devil

(Ran's towel falls off and Conan gets a severe nosebleed.)

Yui Uehara responds to the scene and concludes Masaie was bludgeoned and drowned. Everyone worries it may be the Red Woman, but Uehara assures them it can't since her death was confirmed 15 years ago along with Satoko's death in the bog, her name was Komayo Takeno. Later, the murder weapon is shown to be a dumbbell, and Sera noticed salt in the tub. Conan and Sera confirm their deductions, then a blackout occurs and Sumika is attacked by the Red Woman, leaving both detectives confused.

File 874 - Red Past

After attending to Sumika's injuries, Uehara learns Sera spent 3 years in the US; she returned to Japan and in her head says "to meet the wizard once more" while looking at Conan. While Uehara investigates the cabin, Inspectors Kansuke Yamato and Taka'aki Morofushi (Komei) look into the original Red Woman case by talking to the original officer on the case. Reviewing timeline of Satoko's and the Red Woman's deaths, Satoko was found with a red coat and the 'Red Woman'. Yamato calls to warn Uehara that something dangerous is in the woods, but the call dies from a storm.

File 875 - Red Tragedy

The child on Sera's phone.

Conan and Sera affirm their deductions and prove Sumika Kawana was the one who killed Masaie by bludgeoning him and hiding him in the tub. She used a bat and a fan to create the sounds of a vacuum to sound like Masaie was upstairs when he was already dead. Conan also shows that tomatoes don't float unless there is alt mixed in with the water. By adding more salt, she exposed the tomatoes and the body creating an alibi. Sera also points out that she was the woman in red they saw on the way to the cabin as she handed Sera the photos from earlier to investigate without hesitation while the other thought she was a boy. She killed Masaie because he had Satoko play the Red Woman for a prank, and she fell into the bog and died. But since she killed Masaie, who attacked her? The real Red Woman appears, but Yamato and Morofushi arrive and take her away. The woman who attacked Sumika was Shinobu Kagawa, the mistress of the man killed by the Red Woman, because Sumika was dressed as her. Conan later finds Sera's phone and a young girl with Akai eyes is with her.
