Trivia

• Shizuka is kind of a Mystery Magnet her friends and acquaintances keep getting involved in murder cases, and most of the time Heiji would be sent beforehand to visit them, only for him to find himself in a case. Conan has happen to be in all of them, and Shizuka was introduced in a case where one of her friend's was murdered (the one case that didn't involve Heiji, although he still appeared in the end to pick her up).
