Case

Situation

Part 1

Conan enters a Sherlock Holmes contest to win a rare first-edition book and persuades Ran Mouri and Kogoro to attend. Once at the place of the contest, everyone must take a 1000-question test about Sherlock Holmes. Heiji also attends and reveals to Ran that he thought he would meet Shinichi there. Later that day, Hiroyuki Kanaya, the host, is seen driving his car off a cliff and into the ocean.

Victim:	Hiroyuki Kanaya
Age:	51 years old
Cause of death:	Fell with SUV and exploded
Suspects:	Ikuo Kawatsu,Toshiaki Fujisawa,Nanako Shimizu,Hitomi Iwai,Maria Toda, Kento Togano,and Ayako Oki
He appeared to had driven the SUV off the cliff, but when Conan and Heiji looked inside the window when the SUV was about to drive off the cliff, they noticed a lot of strange things.

Hiroyuki's death is presumed to be a murder and contestant Ayako Oki reveals she knows who the murderer is.

Later a garage explosion and fire occurs, after dousing the flames Ayako is found dead.

Murder

Location:	In the back of the car
Victim:	Ayako Oki
Age:	21 years old
Cause of death:	Burned to death
Suspects:	Ikuo Kawatsu,Toshiaki Fujisawa,Nanako Shimizu,Hitomi Iwai,Maria Toda, and Kento Togano
Ayako went to get something in the back of a SUV. The murderer told her to get it. The car then ignited and exploded with her in it.

Next, a blackout occurred and Toshiaki Fujisawa, another contestant, is stabbed in the arm with an ice pick due to the timely intervention by Conan and Heiji who realize that the murderer is indeed among them.

Attempted Murder

Location:	Dining room
Victim:	Toshiaki Fujisawa
Age:	47 years old
Injury:	Stab Wound
Suspects:	Ikuo Kawatsu,Nanako Shimizu,Hitomi Iwai,Maria Toda, and Kento Togano
A fuse breaks and the lights go off. Conan and Heiji barely notice an item (ice pick) about to hit the victim. They dive and knock Toshiaki over so it doesn't kill him but is instead stabbed in the arm.

Part 2

After Conan reveals his insight, Heiji believes Conan is actually Shinichi Kudo. Heiji reveals that, when Kanaya was in the car, his body had already undergone rigor mortis. At that moment, Conan and Heiji realize who the murderer is. Heiji decides to wait for Conan to solve the case in order to see if he really is Shinichi. Conan tranquilizes Heiji and makes his deduction.

Anime

The names of the characters in the Funimation Dub are:

Ikuo Kawatsu - Burt Bledsoe
Toshiaki Fujisawa - Ernie Bower
Nanako Shimizu - Nancy Schmit
Hitomi Iwai - Betsy
Maria Toda - Moira Krupp
Hiroyuki Kanaya - Harry Kanucka
