Case

Situation

Kogoro is asked by a man to solve a coded text message from his daughter since she refused to tell him the meaning of the message. Meanwhile, Eri has left her Russian Blue kitten, Goro, in the care of Kogoro. While Kogoro attempts to decipher the message, Goro drops a dictionary to translate English in Japanese causing Kogoro to realize that the English letters of the code can be translated to Japanese. Goro sneaks into Kogoro's video tape collection and where he notices tape is missing and realizes the message contains Hiragana and Katakana with missing strokes.

After putting the characters together, Kogoro solves the code which reveals that the man's daughter was planning to buy him a birthday present with her friend. Conan returns home from school and removes the Katsuobushi which was used to lead Goro to give Kogoro hints. While Kogoro is talking with his client on the cellphone, Goro pulls his tie as if it's trying to say to not tell the client anything in order not to spoil the surprise, and so he tells him he could not solve it and that the man's daughter is a good girl.

Trivia

• Although Eri Kisaki's cat, Goro made an appearance in The Private Eyes' Requiem, this case is his first canon appearance.
• It is revealed that Eri really likes the name 'Goro,' to which her deceased cat, and new cat are both given that name.
• This is one of the cases that shows Kogoro Mouri doing a lot of mental work, and thinking things through.
