Takagi follows him to a restroom where the coat and helmet are leave unattended but inside the restroom, there are 3 suspects. Which of them is the real one ?
Part 2
There are three witnesses who each give different accounts of the robber.
An old man who bumped into the robber said the robber was a woman in blue. A woman in a store said the robber was a man in green over 180 cm tall. A cafe owner wearing glasses said a person in black 170 cm tall.
People
Resolution
The three witnesses had different opinions about the robber because of various circumstances and personality quirks. The old man who said the robber was a woman in blue came to the gender conclusion because the culprit wore his watch facing inwards as most women do. Because he is old, the witness does not differentiate between blue and green, using the same word "aoi" to refer to both colors. The cafe owner who said the robber was a person in black 170 cm tall was wearing special glasses with lenses that darken when exposed to light. He was not used to wearing them yet, so this made the coat appear to be black as he stepped outside. He was accurate about the height. The woman in a store who said the robber was a man in green over 180 cm tall saw the robber while he was running on a curb, making him appear to be taller than he was. She was accurate about the color the robber was wearing.
Takagi solves the case and arrests the culprit, Yasuo Kamieda when he tries to make a dash out of the police car. Takagi catches up and gives up on going to Sato in time to stop the marriage as the sun is almost set and the car is too far away. His party comes to cheer him on and he runs. Conan manages to stop the marriage in time with Tomoaki Araide's help. Takagi manages to reach the restaurant but the sun has completely sunk. He then sees Sato around the corner who tells him he told her an emergency case has come up. Takagi smiles as he enters the car. Meanwhile Shiratori leaves the restaurant, disappointed in his close marriage. Conan comments how Takagi and Sato reminded him of Ran and himself.
Manga to anime changes
- After being told by Mamehara that the culprit was wearing a coat over black clothes and height being 5'6, Takagi thinks of Kamieda who is of that height, but not wearing black clothing. Immediately after in the manga, he thinks of the other accounts given by the other two witnesses, with the anime cutting off after considering Kamieda.
- File 328 ends with Sato agreeing to Shiratori's deal. File 329 follows up immediately with her specifying that Takagi is given until sunset to pick her up, with Conan, Ran, Sonoko and Araide commenting on their discussion. Episode 253 switches that scene to follow Takagi and Chiba's reflection on the robbery clues given to them by the witnesses and deciding to question the suspects.
- Unlike the manga, Part 2 of the episode in the anime shows Takagi recapping the robbery, the suspects and the witnesses to Conan (who's calling as Shinichi).
Continuity
Trivia
- The Spanish dub mistook the title of the episodes, "Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4", for "Love story between 4 metropolitan police detectives".
- Although in has already been revealed that practically Every Single Male Police Officer is in love with Miwako Sato, this is the first case that clearly shows a romantic triangle between Detective Wataru Takagi/Detective Miwako Sato/Inspector Ninzaburo Shiratori.
- This is the first case that Yumi is seen talking with Ran, Sonoko, and Conan.
- This is the first case that Takagi is shown riding with Detective Chiba.
- This is the first case, and may be the only one, where Yumi refers to Takagi as her "Servant."
- This is the first case that shows that Yumi is really into Karaoke, since when Chiba told Takagi that Yumi wanted him to check his mail before this case showed up, and Takagi mentioned, "It is probably about Karaoke," so apparently she frequently invites Takagi, and other Detectives, like Sato, who she is close to, to Karaoke freguently, although the last part is mostly an assumption.
- This is the first case that Conan, using Kudo's voice, helps Takagi to crack the case, due to conversing with him over the phone.
- This is the first case to mention 'Mamehara' by name.
- This is the first case that showed Shuichi Akai walking past Ran in the restaurant and she noticed him, and is wondering where she saw him before.
- When Conan mussed up Araide's hair, and removed his glasses, and spoke in Detective Takagi's voice, he was unaware that he just used his Voice-Changing Bowtie, in front of Vermouth, who is disguised as Tomoaki Araide.
