Case

Situation

Case Part

Ran loses consciousness due to her illness and reminisces about her past with Shinichi in New York. When Ran and Shinichi had touched down in Los Angeles they were told to catch another plane to New York City (NYC) by Shinichi's mother, Yukiko Kudo, who takes the two to view The Golden Apple musical at Broadway. When they arrive, they are introduced to a famous actress named Sharon Vineyard, and the five performers that will be performing the musical. They learn from them that an unknown culprit had sent the performers a Golden Apple with the words "For the Fairest" written on it and presume it is a threat. While touring the theater, a medieval suit of armour is sent flying towards the group. An actress is about to be hit with the armor until Ran pushes her out of the way.

Deduction Part

The performance of The Golden Apple begins. During the climax of the musical, the actor Heath Flockhart, who is portraying Paris, is shot.

Murder
	Location: Phantom stage from Majestic Theatre, New York City, USA Victim: Heath Flockhart Age: 33 years old Cause of death: Gunshot wound Suspects: Lilas Sanchez, Akane Nielsen, Rose Hewitt, and Iberis Hamilton

The police arrive and come to the conclusion an unknown assailant rented out all the terraces in the theater and that they shot Heath from there. Shinichi reveals that he found a bullet in one of the terraces shortly after the murder but is was cold meaning it was set up to create the idea an audience murdered Heath. He also reveals that the falling suit if the armor from before was set up by a tripwire deduces that the murderer is one of the four actresses whom all have shared a romantic relationship with Heath. Lilas, Akane, and Rose are Heath's lovers and Iberis was Heath's wife. They kept it a secret, due to their popularity, but Sharon knew and had told Yukiko it. While Shinichi investigates to find out how the murder was done, he notices a crack in the mirror prop and realizes who the murderer is.

Solution Part

The police are still suspecting the people who are close to Flockhart at the crime scene. They checked their bodies for gunpowder but still nothing. They confirmed it was an outsider. Suddenly, the lights went off.

Resolution

  Show spoilers »

Shinichi tells his mother his deductions on the case to have her solve the murder. It is revealed that since the mirror was damaged, the employees of the theater fixed the mirror causing it to become shorter. Since the mirror was too low to conceal Heath during the musical, they decided to add a revolving trap door on the stage. It is then revealed besides Heath, the actress Rose Hewitt was informed of the trap door as it was her job to close the trap door when Heath is carried by wires out of it. Yukiko declares Rose to be the murderer revealing that during the time the stage was covered in the fog, Rose shot Heath through an opening between the mirror and the floor as he was rising out of the trap door. Rose then placed the gun on Heath to create the suspicion the true suspect threw the gun on stage from the terrace. As evidence, Shinichi reveals Heath grabbed onto Rose with his blood soaked hands which was found on the inside of her glove. Her motive was that Rose actually never loved Heath but his portrayal of Paris and upon hearing his transfer to another theatre production, kills him to immortalize his role. She then mocks Ran for saving her life, saying that she could have prevented this from all happening if she just let her die, and that emotionally breaks the poor girl.

Shinichi and Ran take a taxi to the hotel but stop in an alleyway when Ran's handkerchief flies out the window and onto a fire escape. Shinichi leaves to retrieve it and Ran meets a man that she almost believes it's a thug or a killer, but is a mysterious FBI agent who orders her to leave as the serial killer they are searching for is nearby. Despite starting to shoy sympthoms of a cold, and thus feeling very dizzy, Ran searches for the missing Shinichi... and finds the (wounded) serial killer on the fire escape. The man prepares to shoot Ran but when the fire escape railing breaks off, he loses his balance but is saved by Ran and Shinichi, who had been this close to catch him few seconds ago. Despite the rescue, the man decides to kill them but Shinichi warns him to stop, since the silencer of the gun he kept in his hand has fallen down from the fire escape, and if he shoots everyone will hear him and he will be soon captured. Ran collapses from her cold and Shinichi carries her away in his arms, declaring to the man that he will capture him the next time they meet. The next day, Yukiko receives a call from Sharon who tells her that she knew Rose was planning something but didn't think it'd be murder, and finishes by asking Yukiko to tell Ran that an angel is watching over her...

Ran awakens from her illness in the present time and phones Shinichi to talk about their time in New York. Shinichi reveals that the serial killer was found dead by the police shortly after their encounter. The police believes that he committed suicide, but Shinichi deduces that he was murdered.

Manga to anime changes

• Because of the rearrangement on the airing order, in the anime version, the ending part of this case is included with the scene of Conan (using Shinichi's voice) discussing with Ran about the events back in New York, which should have been the beginning of The Truth of the Haunted House in the original manga series where it takes place right after this case.

Remastered version

• On October 27, 2008, a remastered version of the case was aired. All three episodes were edited and combined into one hour long special, and scenes were edited out to fit the timeslot. However, exclusive to the remastering, new scenes were added to this version. In the beginning, Ran is watching television and sees a reporter talking about New York City, which brings her back to remembering the case from back then. Conan is, for some reason, holding apples, and drops them on the floor. One of those apples turns into a golden apple, and a picture of both Conan and Shinichi is visible. At the end of the case, after Ran blacks out, we can see Ran smiling to herself while remembering Shinichi touching her forehead. Conan asks her why she's smiling, and she answers "It's. A. Secret!"

Ran watches a reporter talk about New York City on television.

Conan's budding juggling career on display.

Conan and Shinichi!
