Case

Situation

Part 1

For an astronomical observation, Conan and the group went to a pension deep inside the mountain. Other than the pension owner, there were also other three people in the pension: the fiancee of the person who invited the three, and the two magazine staff. As they went to the nearby hill to see the stars, they saw decayed bones and underneath a rock nearby, they found a box of cigarettes and a ring which implies he was the missing fiance. That same night, the other man from the magazine staff was killed and left another dying message.

Murder (Past)
	Location: Amatsuchi Pension Victim: Asao Kono Cause of death: Fell from the cliff Suspects: Etsuko Nonomiya, Ryoji Amatsuchi, Hajime Futagawa, and Heihachi Mikami The first victim was killed one year before the appearance of Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys. He was pushed from a cliff near Amatsuchi Pension by someone and fell down the ground below, killing him.

Murder
	Location: Amatsuchi Pension Victim: Hajime Futagawa Age: 35 Years old Cause of death: Fell from the cliff Suspects: Etsuko Nonomiya, Ryoji Amatsuchi, and Heihachi Mikami The second victim was killed in the same way as the first victim, but this time he was struck by something like a steel pipe. Then he was dropped to the ground, breaking his neck bone and killing him.

Part 2

After Conan, Haibara, Detective Boys, and Professor Agasa realizes that the dying message was referring to Hajime Futagawa's initials and thus making him as the prime suspect, they decided to confront him. But he went missing so as the other suspects. While they were searching at the woods, they later found Futagawa's body on the ground dead. On his hand, another pack of cigarette was found. This time, it contains seven. They also found a cellphone with a will on it, confessing Futagawa's crime and decided to commit suicide. Conan realizes that he didn't commit suicide and the seven cigarette was a clue to the real murderer. So they decided to search to each one's rooms and belongings to find the murder weapon. While looking through the guestbook, Conan finally manage to find out the real culprit behind the murders.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

The real person who invited the three was proven to be Ryoji Amatsuchi, the pension owner. He did that because he wanted to find the person who murdered Kono, as he already found his bones and belongings before. He also hid the cable to the phone to disable communication, and also deflated the tires to trap everyone in the pension. However, he was not the murderer, but it was Heihachi Mikami who killed both Kono and Futagawa. He killed Kono because he refused to include his name to the comet that Kono found after asking his help to confirm if it was a new discovery or not. He killed Futagawa after he tried to threatened him that if he didn't pay up 50,000,000, he would surely reveal the crime he committed. Mikami then unveils the weapon he used to kill Futagawa, that turned out to be a shotgun.

Attempted Murder
	Location: Inn Victim: Etsuko Ninomiya, Ryoji Amatsuchi, Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, Ayumi Yoshida, Genta Kojima, Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Professor Agasa Age: 28 Years old (Etsuko) & 34 Years old (Ryoji) Attack Types: Shooting Culprit: Heihachi Mikami He decided to kill everyone, but stopped by Conan.

He attempts to kill all the inn guests but is tranquilized by Conan.

At the end of the episode, when Conan and the Detective Boys are taken to the police station for questioning, Conan reveals the real meaning Kono doesn't add Mikami's name to the comet he found because he wants to make the word 'Amanogawa'.
