Conan sneaks into Hirota's apartment and attempts to stop her from meeting the assailants. Ignoring Conan's warning, Hirota heads to an empty warehouse and meets Gin who reveals her true identity to be Akemi Miyano. She asks him to release her sister in exchange for the 1 billion yen; Gin however murders her and takes the keys to a coin locker containing the money from the robbery.

Murder
	Location: Abandoned warehouse Victim: Akemi Miyano Cause of death: Gunshot wound Suspects: Gin When Conan finally reached Akemi, it's almost too late and with her last breath, she told him the location that she hide the stolen money and some vital information about Black Organization.

Conan arrives at the warehouse shortly after and finds a Akemi who reveals to him the existence of the crime syndicate Black Organization before dying. After the police arrive, Conan promises to himself that he will take down the Black Organization.

Note

The manga version of The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case ended with Akemi Miyano encountering and being killed by Gin. The anime version altered the outcome so that Masami Hirota would live and work at a bank leading to episode 128 (as well as replacing Gin and Vodka with an episode exclusive character named Okita). Due to the story being important to the continuity (such as leading up to Ai Haibara's appearance) this episode was made to fix the storyline.

Trivia

• Gin can be obviously seen using his right hand to fire the gun. Every other time Gin had used his left hand. It is assumed this was just a discontinuity, and does not suggest the fact that Gin is ambidextrous.
• This is the first episode where Officer Tome is referred to by name.
