Alussions

• Hiroshi Agasa's name comes from Agatha Christie.

• Additionally, his great uncle and aunt, Kurisuke (栗介 ?) and Teiko (定子 ?), get their names from the Japanese pronunciation of Christie (クリスティ Kurisuti?) (Kurisuke obviously comes from Kurisu (クリス), but Teiko comes from Tei (テイ), and alternate writing for Ti (ティ)).

• In The Evidence That Didn't Disappear Hatsuki Shetland Shepherd dog is named Christie.
• One of her novels, And Then There Were None, where ten people were invited on an island and disappeared one after the other, while a doll representing them also disappeared has been for many cases that are similar to it:

• In The Disappearing Detective Boys Case Kids have been disappearing one after the other, and the dolls each disappeared one had also vanished each time. The plot of the episode and the puppet play that they trying to re-enact is similar to the novel.
• In The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid case was inspired by it.
• In And Then There Were No Mermaids the case's title is a pun on the novel.

• One of her novels, ABC Murders, is referenced a lot in the series as well:

• In The Shifting Mystery of Beika City The names of the characters follow the same pattern as in the ABC Murders, where the characters' last names are following an alphabetical order, except for the culprit's name.
• Files 393-397 and Episodes 325-327 of its anime adaptation feature a case with some similarities as the criminal was inspired by the plot of The A.B.C. Murders.
• In The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History this special is based on the famous case of the disappearance of Agatha Christie in 1926.
  • The Fourteenth Target is a combination of The A.B.C Murders, with a murderer killing based on numbers in names as a ruse to confuse detectives and it also incorporates also And Then There Were None.
