Chapter Summaries

Haitani, Yamada, and Shima connected Takahashi’s investigation to a fake Yohen Tenmoku Tea Bowl and the murder of Washinomiya, while Kuroki found the killer’s fingerprints on an envelope. Munakata then used an anonymous tip about Iwasaki Art Transport to organize a cross-district search, leaving the detectives ready to pursue the suspects.

• Haitani and Narcissist learned that Takahashi had asked a pawnshop owner about a fake Yohen Tenmoku Tea Bowl and a similar bowl appraised five years earlier.
• Yamada told Haitani that Kinoshita’s wife remembered Washinomiya holding a bowl before his murder, and Shima proposed that Washinomiya had been killed over a fake antique.

• Munakata summoned the detectives and announced an anonymous tip about illegal transactions at Iwasaki Art Transport, then ordered a cross-district search.

Shima and the Beika Police Station detectives exposed Iwasaki as the counterfeiting ring’s leader and the murderer behind three deaths, while Sakamoto regretted misunderstanding Takahashi. That evening, Shiraishi went to dinner with Ayako and Jirokichi, who abruptly asked to get out with Lupin after hearing about Kamurocho.

• Munakata led a joint search of Iwasaki Art Transport, and the officers collected fingerprints while the forensic technicians compared them with the envelope fingerprints.

Shiraishi learned that Little Ai had recovered enough data to make a Gene Modification Solution and planned to try it, while arranging for Doctor Daimon to amputate and preserve his arm in case the injection caused dangerous effects. The chapter ended with Shiraishi hearing that Doctor Kurokawa’s murder had been solved, as a servant killed him over her husband’s alleged death in a medical accident.

• Ayako told Shiraishi that her father had compensated Jirokichi with other antiques, and encouraged him to catch Kaito Kid for Jirokichi.
• Shiraishi found Little Ai asleep at the computer, and she showed him recovered data about the Gene Modification Solution that she planned to reproduce by Sunday.

Shiraishi began the new officers’ reporting day at Beika Police Station with his left arm bandaged after the Evolution Serum concentrated its effects there, giving him a powerful but temporarily sealed ability. As he welcomed 102 new officers, emergencies in Beika interrupted his speech, sending Criminal Affairs Division officers to respond to a missing person and a port bombing.

• Shiraishi arrived at Beika Police Station with his left arm bandaged and encouraged Gen to set an example for the incoming officers.

• Shiraishi welcomed the 102 new officers at an assembly and began warning them about the dangers of working in Beika Town.
• Maruo informed Shiraishi that the headquarters needed help finding a missing person under long-term surveillance, then reported a bombing at the port, prompting Criminal Affairs Division officers to respond.

Newly transferred officers joined the investigation into a yacht explosion that killed former Finance Minister Ejiri Shuichi’s son, while First Investigation Division Unit 3 sought help finding a suspect who had vanished under Takagi’s watch. Amagi Yu’s evidence suggested the explosion was staged, and the Beika Police Station pushed to remain involved despite headquarters’ orders; both cases proceeded under separate investigation headquarters.

• Munakata assigned Kobe Miwako to assist First Investigation Division with the missing suspect case and sent Jiren and Amagi Yu to the port bombing.
• Shiraishi scolded Takagi for losing the surveillance target, then arranged Beika Police Station support for Unit 3’s search.
• At the port, Amagi Yu observed that the victim would have needed sunglasses to steer east into the morning sun, suggesting someone else had driven the yacht and staged the explosion.
• Headquarters ordered the port case transferred to Amemiya’s Unit 5 and told the Beika Police Station not to interfere, but Murasaki said Shiraishi would coordinate with Director Ninomiya and the station would work with Unit 5.
• Megure and Unit 3 held the first meeting of the 500 Million Yen Robbery Case Investigation Headquarters while the Port Explosion Case Investigation Headquarters convened across the hall.

Kobe Miwako helped solve the murder of Kawata Takashi, while the police continued racing to identify the robber from the 500 Million Yen case before its statute of limitations expired. Beika Police Station also learned that a serial arsonist had targeted former Minister Takada’s home, and Shiraishi performed an autopsy on a bombing victim at UDI.

• Kobe Miwako questioned Takagi’s surveillance footage and argued that President Kodama, not Kawata Takashi, had driven the car.

• Shiraishi performed the bombing victim’s autopsy at UDI after the Mobile Unit brought the body there.

Shiraishi’s autopsy revealed that Ejiri Takayuki had been stunned and strangled before his body was placed on a yacht and blown up, while new evidence weakened suspicion of Asada. At Beika Police Station, detectives reviewed the unsolved 500 Million Yen Robbery Case, and Kobe volunteered to find a way to make the remaining suspects spend their stolen money before the statute of limitations expired.

• Shiraishi completed Ejiri Takayuki’s autopsy and determined that he had been strangled from the front after being stunned, suggesting a revenge killing staged as a yacht accident.
• Amemiya reported that Beika detectives had learned Ejiri spoke with a courier at six the previous evening, leading Shiraishi to conclude that the murderer had attacked Ejiri and framed Asada.

• At the evacuation site, Principal Uematsu told Shiraishi that someone impersonating a police officer had taken Takada Manami, and that Conan had disappeared.

After Takada Manami was abducted from Teitan Elementary School by a woman disguised as a police officer, Shiraishi investigated the kidnapping alongside evidence connecting the school explosion to an earlier port bombing. The chapter ended with Yasuda revealing that Former Minister Ejiri had introduced Takada to politics.

• Yasuda told Shiraishi that the arsons and school explosion had been part of a plan to abduct Takada Manami, and Shiraishi promised to find her while urging the Takada family to cooperate.
• Conan revealed himself inside the kidnapper's van, identified flaws in her police disguise, and saw her fire a gun after she threatened Manami.
• Shiraishi tried to contact Conan but reached Ran, who told him Conan had likely left on his own; Fuji then identified the kidnapper as Ando Saki, a woman who had stolen film props and adopted a false identity.
• Kanzaki informed Shiraishi that the school explosive closely matched the one used in the Port Explosion Case, prompting Shiraishi to ask Yasuda about Takada's ties to Former Minister Ejiri.
• Yasuda confirmed that Ejiri had introduced Takada to politics.

Shiraishi investigated Manami Takada’s kidnapping and learned that the culprit demanded Takada confess to a secret from twenty years ago. Iwata traced the secret to the disappearance and death of Ando Satoko, but the case file was blank, its detective had recently died, and the statute of limitations had expired.

• Iwata reported that Ando Satoko’s case file was blank, the detective in charge had died two weeks earlier, and the statute of limitations had expired three days before.

Shiraishi uncovered how Sugihara’s dying words may have connected Ando Saki to the bombing and kidnapping, then found her unconscious at an abandoned warehouse while Conan was missing. As Shiraishi raced toward the likely location of Takada Manami, Fuji realized a demolition company might be involved in the arson plot.

• Shiraishi learned from Doctor Daimon that Ando Satoko’s parents had pressed the dying Sugihara for the culprit’s identity, and he connected the revelation to Ando Saki’s revenge and Ejiri Takayuki’s scar.
• Shiraishi ordered Kuroki and other detectives to investigate Ejiri’s old acquaintances and the details of Ando Satoko’s disappearance and death.
• Shiraishi reached the warehouse in Okutama Town and found Ando Saki unconscious, Conan’s broken glasses, and a box of money, suggesting Takada’s people had arrived before him.
• Shiraishi deduced that Conan had lured Yasuda away and headed toward the cliff where Ando Satoko’s body had been found, while Professor Agasa stayed behind with Ando Saki.
• Fuji realized that an arson scene near Mr. Kaneko’s home contradicted the suspected kidnapping plan and identified his employer as Seto Demolition Company.

Gen and Yamada connected Kaneko Koji to Ando Saki and her murdered daughter, while Shiraishi reached Kaneko’s hostage standoff and turned it into a confrontation with the officials who had covered up Satoko’s death. The chapter ended with Shiraishi pressuring Takada and Ejiri to publicly expose their roles in the old case.

• Gen and Yamada told Fuji that Kaneko had been Ando Saki’s ex-husband and had been reconnecting with her before Ando Satoko was murdered.
• Conan and Yasuda approached Kaneko, who threatened to detonate explosives unless Takada publicly confessed, and Conan learned that Ando Saki had involved Kaneko in the kidnapping.
• Shiraishi dropped into the scene, protected Manami, and persuaded Kaneko to keep her alive by arguing that surviving would let him challenge Takada.
• Shiraishi told Takada that Yasuda was under arrest for attempting to murder Ando Saki, then confronted Takada about Satoko’s case and demanded fairness.
• Shiraishi called Ejiri and announced that he would reopen the investigation into Satoko’s death, pressuring Ejiri to hold a press conference before Takada could shape the story.

Ejiri and Takada each held a televised apology press conference, exposing their conflicting accounts of the case that led to a girl’s death twenty years earlier. Shiraishi arrested Kaneko and Yasuda after Kaneko abandoned his plan to kill Manami, then led the group through the forest, where Shiraishi stopped a charging wild boar with one hand.

• Ejiri and Takada secretly arranged separate press conferences, each fearing the other would publicly shift the blame onto him.
• Their televised apologies gave conflicting accounts of how Ejiri’s son killed a girl and how Takada helped cover up the crime.

• Shiraishi led Kaneko, Yasuda, Manami, and Conan through the forest toward the main road while they waited for police.
• A wild boar charged at the group, and Shiraishi held it back with his bandaged left hand while carrying Manami.

Shiraishi returned to Beika Police Station after arresting Yasuda, while Kobe Miwako tried to make the suspects in the old 500 Million Yen Robbery spend their stolen money before the statute of limitations expired.

• Shiraishi noticed that the date had reverted to April 1, 2016, and confirmed that Little Ai believed she was in first grade and that the previous year had also been 2016.
• Shiraishi checked food expiration dates, police records, loan repayments, and his colleagues’ ages, finding that time had reset by a year without erasing injuries, deaths, or financial obligations.

• Akako explained that the phenomenon resembled a Confusion Spell magnified beyond human ability and concluded that a deity must be responsible.
• Shiraishi and Akako speculated that repeated resets could extend lives while disrupting education, retirement, and marriage, potentially raising the murder rate.

• Kunikida arrived with Tosaka and Matsuki and greeted Shiraishi at the crime scene.

Kunikida investigated Hime no Yayoi’s murder in a café restroom and used surveillance footage to identify the suspicious customers who had entered after her. The footage also revealed a secret meeting involving a Tokyo High Court judge, while the detectives began questioning the restroom visitors and Denyama challenged their suspicions.

• Kunikida examined the locked restroom and requested the café’s surveillance footage while Shiraishi reflected on which transferred officers still regarded him as their superior.
• Kunikida reviewed the footage and identified Denyama, a student, and a long-haired man as the customers who entered the restroom after Hime no Yayoi.
• Kunikida requested footage of the seating area, and Shiraishi noticed the three customers who had left were secretly meeting and included a Tokyo High Court judge.
• Kunikida set the judge’s suspicious meeting aside and had the detectives question the three restroom visitors, while Hideo Eri stayed to speak with Shiraishi.
• Denyama argued that if he had committed the murder, the student who entered after him would have seen the blood.

Shiraishi and the police exposed Denyama as the murderer of Hime no after Conan spotted a discrepancy in his bandage, while Shiraishi also sent Wakaouji fleeing after learning he was meeting Sonoko. Hideo Eri then asked Shiraishi about Doctor Shirai, the killer who had framed Ran’s father, leaving Conan alert to a possible connection.

• Kunikida explained that Hime no had been strangled before she was stabbed, and Tosaka tested whether the murderer could have climbed over the stall door.
• Shiraishi showed that all three suspects could have entered the stall that way, while Kunikida proposed checking them for Luminol traces.
