Case

Situation

Part 1

Kogoro has won another contest and so he, Ran, and Conan go on vacation, where four friends recognize him as the famous detective Kogoro Mouri by the name of Eiko Nojima, Akane Isaka, Keisuke Otsubo, and Touru Akitaya. The friends had reunited after twelve years for anniversary of the death of their fifth friend, Hondo, as well as for the engagement of Akane and Otsubo.

Suicide (Past)
	Location: Beneath the Kanmonkyo Bridge Victim: Hondo Age: 17 years old (13 years ago) Cause of death: Drug overdose Thirteen years ago, Hondo commits suicide by taking drugs.

After a minor fight with a rude man by the name of Seiji Hario, whom they have met before during their travel. Eiko excuses herself and leaves the group, at which point, Akane explains that Eiko was a girlfriend of Hondo and still remains single because she couldn't forget him. Akitaya also leaves as well which Ran senses something but chooses not to say.

The trio has dinner with them which is interrupted again by Hario, who is trying to buy Akitaya's businesses, but he refuse to sell. Hario quickly leaves afterward but not before insulting the late Hondo and knocking away Otsubo.

The next day, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan plan to visit Motonari Mouri, the Mouri family ancestor. However, they're soon caught up in a murder at Kanmonkyo Bridge.

Murder

Location: Beneath the Kanmonkyo Bridge Victim: Seiji Hario Age: 30 years old Cause of death: Blunt-force trauma Suspects: Eiko Nojima, Akane Isaka, Keisuke Otsubo, and Touru Akitaya On the way to visit the late Daimyo and their ancestor (Motonari), Kogoro, Conan, Ran and Kogoro stumble on the murder of Seiji Hario that the police are investigating. The suspicion quickly falls on the four friends who all have motive to murder him. However, everyone has an airtight alibi. Is the murderer the work of an outsider?

Kogoro immediately suspects the four friends, all of whom had motives. However, when he questions them, all of them have solid alibis during the murder time, forcing the police to release them. However, something tips Conan off when he notices that Eiko wears eyeglasses when driving.

Part 2

With some investigation by the police and Kogoro, Conan begins and investigation of his own. He discovers that the friends took advantage of Eiko's poor eyesight, so that one of them could commit the murder. It is then revealed that 13 years ago that man caused their 5th friend to commit suicide.

After some talk with Ran, Eiko turns herself to the police and confesses that she murdered Hario because he refused to apologize to the late Hondo. Kogoro doesn't trust her and deduces that she is trying to cover for the true murderers.

Conan stuns Kogoro and declares Touru Akitaya is the culprit. Kogoro says when Nojima hit Hario he just regained consciousness but when she left he killed Hario by using the rock that Nojima used. The evidence that Hario was attacked twice is that there's too much dirt on his hand and fingernail. Akitaya confesses and reveals he can't give his company to Hario. Ran then asked him if is that the only thing. Ran then said that she knows Akitaya wants to protect Nojima for being accused by Hario for their friendship and for love that he never confessed to her due to that she still loved Hondo.
