• Ran scolded Conan for showing off his catch, leaving Sonoko feeling even more frustrated.

At the fireworks festival, Fujino gave Ai Haibara the goldfish she wanted while Xiao Hei’s Vermouth lured serial killer Michihiko Douwaki into the woods and had White Wolf knock him out. They began digging a hole to bury him, and Douwaki woke up tied up before they could finish.
