Case

Situation

Yoko takes the Detective Boys to a TV studio for a tour. When they run into Satan Onizuka, a vocalist for a visual kei rock band. The Detective Boys decide to search for his room to get his autograph. Meanwhile, a cosmetic-less Satan meets with the director of the TV station, Tenji Urushihara, and murders him.

Murder
	Location: Nichiuri TV Victim: Tenji Urushihara Cause of death: Stab wound Culprit: Satan Onizuka

The Detective Boys find Satan Onizuka's room and meet Satan in full make up who gives them an autograph. Soon after Urushihara is found by an employee and the police arrive at the station. While the police suspect the murderer to be Satan, Satan retorts that with his make up and costume, it would have been impossible to leave his room without being noticed. Since there is no mirror in Satan's dressing room, it would be impossible to put on his make up and absolves him from the murder. Conan still suspects Satan is the murderer.

The investigation leads him to find out Satan Onizuka made a make-shift mirror by using a transparent ruler and black construction paper. To prove this, Conan reveals that the origami cranes were used to camouflage the construction paper but evidence suggested it was not made on that day. Satan confesses and reveals that three years ago a letter from his fan stopped coming. Satan reveals that recently he found out Urushihara sent a message to that fan to commit suicide in the name of Satan in order to have Satan gain more publicity to make more money.

Manga to anime changes

• The anime version starts at night with Satan Onizuka being told by Tenji that his performance is canceled.
• The manga version of the story takes place within the Clash of Red and Black storyline (between Hades and Coma) and has a scene with Conan and Haibara debating on the relation between Hidemi Hondou and Eisuke. The anime version (taking place before the storyline) replaces the scene with the Detective Boys introducing themselves to Waka Inoue and Azusa Yamamoto.

Trivia

• There is an animation error roughly 17 - 18 minutes in, where when Inamori is just starting to reach into the bag for the mirror, Satan Onizuka's body has a space between him and the frame, thus showing the background between his waist and the bottom edge.
