Case
Situation
Conan declines to walk home from school with classmates Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko. He arrives at the Mouri Detective Agency to see that without work, Kogoro spent all day drinking beer and watching his favorite popstar, Yoko Okino, on TV. When a client arrives during one of her shows, Kogoro even tries to make them return later — until he realizes that the client is Yoko Okino herself, accompanied by her manager. Kogoro quickly makes himself presentable and hears her concerns about a recent stalker. He agrees to investigate at her apartment, and Ran and Conan tag along. Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko were watching the agency and also follow, so when the front door opens everyone sees the body on the floor inside.

Resolution
Manga to anime changes
- In the anime, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta introduce themselves to Conan and follows him on the case. The Detective Boys don't appear in the manga until the haunted mansion case in the next volume.
- In the manga, Ran suspects that Shinichi's absence might have to due with the two men in black that he pursued and planned to call the police. In the anime she merely plans to report his absence to the police without any mention of the men in black.

Trivia
- Even though the victim landed back-down on the knife and most likely died instantly according to the coroner[1], the corpse is found in a belly-down position. The only way for this to be possible is if the corpse flopped over after impact or if the coroner was incorrect about the instantaneity of the death.
- This is Eiichi Yamagishi's first appearance, his second appearance is On Location, TV Drama Murder Case.
- Also the first episode that the victim is stabbed.
