Case Closed (season 24)

The Detective Boys arrive at The Ice Room boarding house with Professor Agasa. While the Detective Boys play start a snow fight, Genta retreats inside the boarding house to clean his face. Conan, while looking for Genta, accidentally overhears an argument between Juri Himuro, Aya Himuro and Masahiko Fujita. Aya protests against Juri having Masahiko as a boyfriend. After they all leave, Conan finds Genta coming out of the kitchen instead of the restroom. Haibara in the meantime has been making miniature snow animals sculptures. While they all return after playing, Aya calls out to them, as she is returning from the narrow mountain path.

During dinner, Ayumi is put off by the scent of garlic. This causes Conan to wonder because none of the food should have garlic as ingredient. After dinner Aya reminds Juri to take her medicine, but it's disappeared. Masahiko offers to get it from the hospital, even though there's a snowstorm. After a while, a phone call comes from the hospital saying that he hasn't been there. Everyone begins to worry. Juri rings his mobile but he doesn't answer. Everyone (excluding Juri) goes out searching for him. Masahiko's car is still parked and they deduce he must have walked to the hospital by taking the narrow, faster path. Conan discovers his corpse off the narrow path and it seems like he slipped and fell to his death.

The Detective Boys are wandering the streets in the residential area around Professor Agasa's house, worrying about Ai Haibara, who has gone missing since she went shopping several hours ago. At first, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi are wondering whether Ai has become the victim of a traffic accident, but then Conan finds a cat's shawl lying on the street. Seeing this, he remembers how he, Ai and the Professor recently met a friendly young woman named Mitsuru Higaki, along with her pet cat Chiro (who wore the shawl) and her Indian Star Tortoise. Searching the vicinity for Chiro, they find the kitten inside a well in a park, but as they try to return it, Mrs. Higaki does not answer the doorbell, so they take the cat back to Agasa's house to feed it. After contacting Detective Chiba to learn whether there have been any accidents in the area (none have), Conan tries to contact Ai through her badge, but to no avail. And it's no small wonder, since at that very moment Haibara awakes to find both herself and Mrs. Higaki inside a darkened living room, solidly tied and gagged!

A man running away from a police officer stumbles into the Detective Boys, grabs Ayumi as a hostage but collapses. They see a big wound on the back of his head and move him to Beika Hospital. He has no identifying papers on him, only a torn piece of magazine paper, seeing which, the police decide that he was attacked and decide to protect him. The doctor who comes out of the surgery starts acting suspicious when he hears Mauri's name.

Ran, Conan and Detective Boys are visiting the Beika Aquarium. They finish watching the dolphin show, while everyone wonders why Professor Agasa is so late. Conan presumes that Professor Agasa was eating yagisoban hamburger near the parking lot. The Detective boys are hungry as well, and decide they want something to eat. Ran tells everyone, that the Beika Aquarim has a Cafe that offers a lot of sweat looking food and desserts. The Detective Boys wonder why Ran would know a lot about Cafe, so Ayumi presumes that Ran always visited the place for a date. Ran tells them that she didn't date with anyone, just visited it with someone together. While Ran is looking at shark, she starts thinking about an old story, back when Ran and Shinichi visited the Beika Aquarium. Ran questions if Shinichi liked her at that time already as much as he does now. Conan's guess proves true, it turns out Professor Agasa was indeed eating yagisoban hamburger. Conan also starts remembering the day back when Ran and him, as Shinichi, visited the place... Shinichi was waiting for Ran inside Beika Aquarium. Ran was late. She tells him that she planned to invite her mother and father to visit the Aquarium for romantic situation. Shinichi tells Ran not to run, but Ran asked why, Shinichi though didn't answer her. While Shinichi and Ran were talking, he spots the dead body of Kunihiro Shumoto.

Ran and Conan accompany Jirokichi Suzuki to Narita Airport to wait for the arrival of Munch's "Anxiety" and "Despair". Before and after packing, photos are taken to check the authencity. These two paintings were checked to have no defects, so they were packed and transferred to Suzuki Museum by a truck. The three of them get in a car and follow the truck.

Kogoro Mouri is asked to infiltrate a robber group. However, his identity is discovered by Mr. Head, the boss of the group. Mr. Head requests Kogoro to find the one who killed his son among the group members. If he doesn't do it or if he calls the police, then Ran will be killed.

Amuro keeps rebuking the FBI officers, Jodie and Camel. Conan suspects that Amuro might belong to the Special Police because his codename is Zero and also since he asked the FBI to 'get out of my Japan' and since he didn't kill Sherry when he had the chance. But, when he tries asking Amuro whether he is actually not the enemy, Amuro replies that Conan is mistaken with a dangerous look. Conan again starts thinking that he had actually wanted to get help from Amuro, if he was from the SP, but he is still safe, since the secret is not out.

Mostly, the trick behind Akai's death is revealed. Amuro discusses Akai's story with Subaru, calling it a mystery story . He asks out of a fat man with greasy fingers, a thin man and an old man with a pacemaker whose prints might be left behind on the phone - to which Subaru answers that it must be the thin man. Amuro says that the print on the phone is right hand's, while Akai is left handed. He says that Akai might have covered his fingers with something so that prints might not be left behind when he picked the phone. Subaru questions Amuro how Akai escaped. Amuro tells him that Kir must have cooperated with Akai, that Professor Agasa might have given him a device which would splurt false blood when shot with a blank. Also, knowing Gin, who always shot his victims in the head, he could predict that Kir would be asked the same. Amuro also says that this had to be someone else's plan, assuming that Akai's last words, 'To think you've come this far' are to be completed with 'with your predictions'.

Meanwhile, Jodie also arrives at the same answers while talking with Camel and realizes that Subaru is Akai. Camel notices that they are being followed. Amuro tells Subaru that he still hasn't understood the connection between Conan and Kudo Yusaku and offers Subaru a phone, saying he better come clean if he wants to save his friends.

Jodie and Camel manage to escape past car barricades due to Camel's awesome driving, but they end up damaging a tire, and Camel tells Jodie that they might not be able to move far. Amuro notices cameras installed in the house and we see Conan watching the videos from another room. He tells Subaru that Agasa stopped selling a choker voice changer since it was useful for stalkers to make prank calls. He says that Subaru has been hiding this voice changer in his turtle neck and goes to check it, but finds nothing under Subaru's clothes.

Even when they are unable to catch up, Akai instructs Camel to go back to the chasers. He exchanges the gun he is carrying with the phone that the chasers are using to talk to Amuro. Akai tells Amuro to trace the gun, which is Kusuda Rikimichi's, if he wants the truth. He also tells him he figured out Amuro's identity, and that it was careless to let slip his chilhood nickname, Zero. Akai calls Amuro as Furuya Rei and tells Amuro that Amuro's plan was to hand over Akai to the organization to raise his standing. He then warns Amuro to not get distracted from his prey, that he doesn't want Amuro as his enemy, and 'I still feel bad about what happened to him'. Akai and the others leave and Akai tells Judie and Camel that Amuro and the chasers are from another organization.

After Amuro leaves, we see that the one dressed up as Subaru is actually Kudo Yusaku, and the one in TV, accepting his award is actually Yukiko. Yusaku reveals the trick behind his disguise. The next day, Jodie and Camel come to Kudo house. They see that Akai is disguised as Subaru to protect Haibara . He tells them that Yukiko had helped him with his disguise and Conan with the plans. Akai tells them that they kept his existence a secret, known only to James (who realized that Akai had coated his fingers) since he had to 'fool friends to fool enemies'. Akai also says that he expected Amuro to come alone, but he came with people from this org, just as Conan predicted; and exclaims that his hatred for Akai might run deeper that he thought.

The Detective Boys come for help from Subaru with a trick that Professor Agasa performed in front of them. We later see Amuro with Vermouth, who asks Bourbon to no do something like this again, since Akai is already dead. Amuro tells her that he hopes for her help if something similar came up, since he is one of the few people to know her secret. He warns her that if something happened to him, her secrets will be sent to the entire Organization. He then thinks that the only unexpected thing was Conan asking him if he was really the enemy. Vermouth tells Bourbon to be careful, since Gin is still sniffing after rats in the organization, even after the deaths of Hondo, Akai and Scotch - the man with the SP who died before they got his real name.

Akai and Conan reveal the trick Professor made. Akai gets a message from Mizunashi Rena, revealing a codename, Rum. Akai tells them that Rum is the boss's close adviser, and is more threatening than Gin.
