Review:
Conan Edogawa never imagined he had to go back to
elementary school, but at least he now has a new weapon to capture criminals: super sneakers. Later
that day Rachel’s father sees on the television that the man he was hired to follow was found dead. While he was being
questioned he learns that the victim, Masaki Negishi, had a five million yen life insurance and that his friend, Mr. Yutaka Abe, was the benefactor. Yukata explains
that it was all because of a “game”. One day Neishi said that they aren’t young anymore and
that if he was interested in making a bet to see who was going to live longer. Richard
Moore is not convinced and he feels the murderer is Yukata Abe, but, like the
name of this issue is
“the perfect Alibi” since
the body was found at the fire festival on Thursday, Richard followed the
victim until Wednesday and Yukata was on a trip from Wednesday to Friday. Who’s
the man that Richard was following and why did Yukata decide to go away?
In “The
Missing Man” Conan finds useful information and
another weapon. The doctor gives him “homing glasses” with the capacity of
track someone’s location if they are within twenty kilometers but he has to
place a sticker on the
person he’s tracking for it to work completely. A girl arrives at the
office of Richard begging them to look for her father who has been missing for
a month. Kenzo Hirota worked in a taxi company and owned four cats called Kai,
Tei, Go and Oh. While she’s explaining this, Conan by mistake places the
sticker on the watch of the girl. After a week, Conan is watching the television
when suddenly on
the horse riding
program a man called Gokai Teio achieves another victory. Conan sees a connection but decides to
ignore it, but Rachel tells her father that they must go to the tracks to see
if the winner is
there. The next day
they call the girl and she arrives quickly. Conan notices that she looks different, wearing
makeup and using a more mature outfit, but Rachel says that is perhaps to greet
her father. They take the girl to where the man was staying, and the man was very shocked when
he sees her and while they are going away they see a man watching them. But
things get worse
when Rachel attempts to
find out what happened to both of them. At the end of this case, Conan learns that
there’s a mystery syndicate that uses black clothes, just like the men he’s chasing after. is it them? Then Conan has a mini adventure with his friends from school in “Mansion of Horror”, never imagining that the four of them; the girl, the strength, the scientist and the investigator; would resolve an unresolved case from five years ago.
