- Shinichi creates the alias Conan Edogawa and moves into the Mouri Detective Agency hoping to make the failure Kogoro Mouri into a great detective in order to find cases related to the secret organization who poisoned him. [43]
- To avoid suspicion, Conan enrolls in Teitan Elementary.[44]
- Akemi Miyano is murdered by then unnamed Black Organization agent Gin after she succeeded at robbing a bank for 1 billion yen to free herself and her sister from the Black Organization.[45] Her death precipitates her sister's boycott of the APTX 4869 development program and eventual betrayal.

- At a convention for Holmes Lovers, Conan is forced to solve a murder using Heiji as a 'sleeping detective'. Heiji wakes up partway through, but while he doesn't out Conan at the time, he figures out that Conan is Shinichi and Conan tells him the whole story to keep him from telling Ran the truth about Conan's identity.[52]

- ^ Akai started infiltrating the Org five years ago. He did so by becoming Akemi’s girlfriend in order to get close to Shiho and use her influence to get in. (Volume 58, File 599, Page 9: "Akai's Past"). According to the FBI’s description, Shiho was “a scientist for them” at the time. Furthermore this took place in Japan since everyone was speaking Japanese, Akemi lived in Japan, and the FBI bust two years prior to the current timeline was in Japan (Volume 58, File 607, Page 8: "Camel's Past"). If Shiho is 18 now, she would be 13 at the time Akai started infiltrating the Org and she was already a scientist for them at this point and high ranked.
