After an apparent ghostly prank unsettled Haruna, Fujino exposed how it had been staged, but a heavy crash and snapping strings interrupted them.

• Minoru Ogata was found alive beneath the fallen guqin, and he said someone had knocked him unconscious in the dark.
• Haruna received a pager message supposedly from the dead Mr. Akigo, while Fujino suspected the incident was meant to intimidate her.

Fujino exposed Kazuko Ogata’s staged guqin attack and learned that the family heirlooms might hold clues to valuable stamps, but he left without helping them search. Later, Juzo Megure told Fujino that Conan and the children had encountered a fatal shooting near Fujino’s home.

• Fujino explained that Kazuko had rigged the guqin to frighten Haruna, accidentally striking Minoru, and Kazuko admitted she had staged the shadow and pager messages too.
• Kazuko revealed that she had pawned the real guqin, while Shiro and the others wondered whether their grandfather’s Music Box could lead them to the stamps.
• Fujino hinted that the stamps were hidden inside the memorial tablet, but he declined to help the family after they balked at his five-percent commission.
• The next day, Haruna returned Akigo’s pager, and Fujino left with her while the Ogata family continued puzzling over the Music Box.
• Conan spoke with Ran from a phone booth as Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko passed nearby, then hurried off; the children later encountered a detective who was shot dead by Xiao Hei.
• Juzo Megure called Fujino and said Conan and the children had run into a shooting at Beika Park, where a Metropolitan Police Department detective had been killed.

• After reading the reports, Fujino received a call from Juzo Megure and suspected the case had become an internal police investigation.

Fujino joined Megure’s investigation into the serial police murders and identified Kazeo Kyosuke as the killer from the earlier Jinno Tamotsu case. At Shiratori’s sister’s wedding celebration, Fujino intercepted Kazeo in the hotel parking garage and rendered him unconscious with a bar of soap.

• Megure briefed Fujino on the police murders and the reopened investigation into Jinno Tamotsu’s death, whose suspects included Odagiri Toshiya and Tomonari Shin.

• Kazeo arrived at the hotel garage with a handgun, intending to carry out his murder plan.
• Fujino disguised himself as a dark-skinned blond soap salesman and used his words to persuade Kazeo to sniff the soap until he passed out.

• Fujino searched Kazeo Kyosuke, took his M1910 pistol, wallet, watch, and phone, and left him unconscious.
• Kazeo Kyosuke woke up, discovered his belongings were gone, and realized he could not safely report the theft because he had lost an unregistered handgun.

• Fujino met Hakuba Saguru, who said he had come to gain experience with the case and because his father had asked him to attend.
• Fujino warned Mori Kogoro not to ask about the case, then Hakuba wondered how Mori reasoned while asleep.

• Hakuba suggested the culprit might use a blackout to attack Sato, and police discovered a remotely detonated bomb in the hotel electrical room.
• The lights went out as the newlyweds entered, and Hakuba spotted Tomonari Shin, but Fujino persuaded Megure to wait and watch rather than arrest him immediately.

• Fujino and Hakuba watched Odagiri Toshiya perform and spotted Jinno Tamaki near the entrance.
• Fujino introduced himself to Jinno Tamaki and explained that he was assisting the police with the recent assassinations of police officers.

Fujino questioned Odagiri Toshiya about Jinno Tamotsu’s death and learned that Toshiya had extorted money from him, then brought the group to Odagiri Toshiro’s home. Toshiro ordered Toshiya to kneel as he prepared to return something to Jinno Tamaki, leaving its identity unrevealed.

• Jinno Tamaki continued to suspect Odagiri Toshiya, but Fujino argued that the bomb planted at the concert showed Toshiya was not the killer targeting the police officers.

• Two days later, Fujino, Ai Haibara, and Momiji set off for Rokkaku Village with Odagiri Susumu driving, since he wanted to see Wakaba before her wedding.
• As the group bounced along the rough country road, Ai Haibara sat on Fujino’s lap while Momiji held his arm, leaving him trapped between them.

• Ooka Momiji presented the wedding invitation, and Shida Wakaba confirmed that she had invited them despite her father's attempt to turn them away.
• Odagiri Susumu called out to Wakaba, but she left without answering, and the elderly Auntie Yuki escorted the guests to their rooms.
• Auntie Yuki warned the guests not to wander around the manor or risk an accident for which the establishment would accept no responsibility.

Fujino, Ai Haibara, and Ooka Momiji fell through a hidden passage into a secret room containing a headless mummified corpse, and Fujino was badly injured while protecting the others. The discovery triggered a mission to uncover Rokkaku Village’s secret, while Shida Jusan escorted them back and Fujino remained wary of him.

• Aunt Yuki warned the guests not to wander around Clock Mansion, and Ai Haibara frightened Ooka Momiji with a story about demonic rituals and sacrificed corpses.
• Fujino decided not to investigate the village because he wanted to keep Momiji and Ai safe, then accompanied them to the restroom after Momiji asked him to come along.

• The church bell rang to announce a death, and Fujino received a new Detective Profession Mission notification.

Fujino investigated Shida Wakaba’s beheading in a church locked from the inside and realized it was a locked-room murder. Afterward, he pondered how her death might connect to the burned priest’s family, the headless mummified corpses, and Rokkaku Village’s secret.

• Fujino and the villagers found every church entrance locked, then used Odagiri Susumu’s jeep winch to pull open the doors.
