    Trivia

    • The culprit's secretary in The Private Eyes' Requiem is named "Masao Takada", just like the victim in this case.
    • Even though Miwako Sato will not make her official introduction until The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case, she will make a non-speaking cameo in this episode.
    • This is the first episode to have never been dubbed by Funimation Entertainment or in English.
    • In this case, the culprit managed to injure the right shoulder of one person, while at the same time, killing the person behind them by shooting the chest, all with the same bullet. It passed through or cut the right shoulder of one person, and entered the chest of the person behind them, fatally killing one, and injuring another.
    • This is the first case that really deals with politics.
    • This is an episode that Kogoro, who is acting as bodyguard, when asked what would he like to drink, he answered "Cola," after slipping up and saying 'Beer,' however he did choose Cola while acting as bodyguard.
    • Although Conan may frequently use the excuse of "learned it from tv," which is a complete fabrication, however in this case, he learned the culprit's trick from watching television.
    • This is the first case with a death by falling down stairs as a murder. There was one in the The Mysterious Mole Alien Case, however it was an accident. In this case, it is a murder.
    • This is the first episode with an actual Jerri rigged gun, or somehow getting the gun to fire remotely by attaching it to something, which will cause it to shoot on it's own, even if you have a remote control, it still needs to be attached to something elsewhere to shoot.
