Chapter Summaries

Kid discovered Mist Tengu beating an unconscious Man in Black and decided the gang’s mountain estate might be a secret base. Disguised as Slack, he infiltrated the Courtyard and delivered a fake Blue Sapphire to the bald manager, who promised to report to That Lord.

• Kid heard a muffled scream in the forest and found Mist Tengu beating a hooded Man in Black with a stick.
• Kid realized Mist Tengu had gone easier on him than on the man, then learned from Jiang Xia that the victim was known to him.
• Kid suspected the Courtyard was the Men in Black’s base and disguised himself as Slack to investigate, offering Mist Tengu any stolen gemstones he found.
• Kid returned to the car, gathered the awakened underlings, and led them into the Courtyard to meet its manager.
• Kid gave the bald, kimono-wearing manager a fake Blue Sapphire, and the manager said he would report to That Lord.

Jiang Xia watched Kid uncover the Black Organization’s search for Pandora, then returned home and received a call from Gin. Gin blamed him for the deaths of prominent people he had encountered and warned him to control himself, leaving Jiang Xia uncertain whether Hatamoto Gozo had been connected to the Organization.

• Kid learned that That Lord sought Pandora, a Life Stone rumored to grant eternal youth, and discovered that the Blue Sapphire was a fake.
• A lackey warned that the police had arrived, so the Men in Black escaped through a secret passage while Kid fled over the courtyard wall.
• Jiang Xia had Mist Tengu collect the bald uncle’s Killing Intent, dismissed his puppet, and returned to sleep at home before Gin’s call woke him.
• Gin confronted Jiang Xia about the deaths along his travel route and told him not to target important people who were not enemies of the Organization.
• Jiang Xia asked whether Hatamoto Gozo had belonged to the Organization, but Gin responded only with a cold laugh and silence.

Gin warned Jiang Xia to be more careful after the Hatamoto Patriarch’s death and sent him an assassination list to memorize. Jiang Xia recognized Asahi Katsuyoshi’s name and realized he was soon due to be targeted in Murakami Jo’s numbered attacks.

• Gin noted that the Hatamoto Patriarch’s granddaughter was quickly settling the inheritance, giving the organization an unexpectedly favorable outcome.
• Gin cautioned Jiang Xia about killing important people and sent him a list of five assassination targets.
• Jiang Xia memorized the list before Gin’s email self-destructed and recognized two names from cases he remembered.
• The next day, Jiang Xia looked up Asahi Katsuyoshi and Murakami Jo, recalling that Murakami Jo’s release would precede attacks on people connected to Mouri Kogoro.
• Jiang Xia realized Asahi Katsuyoshi, whose name contained the number nine, would be among the serial killer’s targets.

Jiang Xia searched for Asahi Katsuyoshi’s missing cat so he could use the case to get closer to Mouri Kogoro, then discovered a familiar soccer player’s apartment while tracking it down. The cat was on Kamimura Naoki’s balcony, and Jiang Xia sensed killing intent inside as he realized the child there was Akagi Hideo’s younger brother.

• Jiang Xia checked Mouri Kogoro’s commission forms, found Asahi Katsuyoshi’s unfinished cat-finding request, and claimed he had seen the cat near the Metropolitan Police Department.
• Jiang Xia asked his underlings to search for the distinctive cat, checked Professor Agasa’s house, and spent two days handling other work while he waited.
• Jiang Xia received word from his yellow-haired underling that the cat was sleeping on a fourth-floor balcony and went to retrieve it.
• Jiang Xia sensed killing intent in the apartment, identified its resident as the injured soccer player Kamimura Naoki, and recalled his scheme involving Akagi Hideo’s younger brother.
• Jiang Xia sent a ghost to inspect Room 402 and saw Kamimura Naoki watching soccer beside the boy, who was absorbed in a game.

Jiang Xia entered Kamimura Naoki’s apartment to retrieve the cat and investigate Akagi’s Younger Brother’s kidnapping, while Conan, Mouri Ran, and Hiramatsu Ryoko arrived seeking the same culprit. The chapter ended as Kamimura raised his cane to strike Jiang Xia and the others watched through the chained door.

• Jiang Xia went to Kamimura Naoki’s room after confirming the situation on the fourth floor.
• Hiramatsu Ryoko explained how she had tried to enlist Kudo Shinichi’s help, and Conan deduced that Kamimura had likely kidnapped Akagi’s Younger Brother.
• Jiang Xia used a piece of white clay to release Kamimura’s door chain and entered, claiming his cat had run onto the balcony.
• Kamimura recognized Jiang Xia as a detective and decided to knock him unconscious so he could keep Akagi’s Younger Brother from leaving before the match ended.
• Conan, Mouri Ran, and Hiramatsu Ryoko opened the chained door a crack and saw Kamimura raising his cane at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia helped rescue Akagi Mamoru, captured the runaway cat Mouri Kogoro had been searching for, and turned Kamimura Naoki over to the police. After earning a Case Participation Voucher, Jiang Xia continued tracking Murakami Jo while preparing to record a variety show.

• Mouri Ran burst through the door and knocked Kamimura Naoki down, while Hiramatsu Ryoko rushed over and accidentally pinned him beneath it as she hugged Akagi Mamoru.
• Jiang Xia freed the cat from the balcony, used the Parent Ghosts to calm it, and learned from Mouri Ran that it belonged to someone Mouri Kogoro had been searching for.
• Conan explained that Kamimura Naoki had abducted Akagi Mamoru, and Mouri Ran called the police after Hiramatsu Ryoko tried to contact Akagi Hideo.
• Jiang Xia and the others gave the police their information, then Jiang Xia took the cat to the Mouri Detective Agency and received an illusory Case Participation Voucher.
• Jiang Xia kept watching for news about Murakami Jo and prepared to record a variety show, hoping the entertainment world might bring him cases.

Jiang Xia tried to get close to Hijikata Kozaburo, whose murderous intent toward his wife made him a potential killer. After Jiang Xia planted evidence that he had access to a variety show's answers, Hijikata mistook him for a fraudulent detective and decided he could use him as a witness for his planned murder.

• Jiang Xia recognized Hijikata Kozaburo as a potential killer who planned to murder his wife, Hijikata Yumi, and frame their neighbor, Okita Hajime.
• Jiang Xia hoped Hijikata would invite him home as a witness, but Hijikata kept his distance, so Jiang Xia decided to take the initiative.
• Jiang Xia had Xiao Bai obtain the show's script and memorized its puzzle and answer.
• During a break, Jiang Xia pretended to hide a diagram from Hijikata, then burned the paper and disposed of the ashes.
• When the show's crime-scene floor plan appeared, Hijikata recognized it as the diagram Jiang Xia had hidden and concluded Jiang Xia secretly relied on prepared answers.
• Hijikata decided not to expose Jiang Xia and instead saw the supposed detective as a useful witness for his planned murder.

After a series of attacks linked by playing-card clues, the police suspected the next target was someone whose name contained “ten,” and Mouri Ran realized Jiang Xia fit the pattern. Jiang Xia, unaware of the danger because he had been recording a show, was found by police and taken into their car.

• During the reasoning game, Jiang Xia secretly slowed his case-solving pace and later received Hijikata Kozaburo’s business card and invitation letter.
• Conan linked the attacks on Inspector Megure, Kisaki Eri, and Professor Agasa to playing-card clues and concluded the next target would have “ten” in their name.
• Inspector Megure suspected Murakami Jo and ordered the police to find him and identify the next possible victim.
• Mouri Ran pointed out that Jiang Xia’s name contained several forms of “ten,” so Inspector Megure sent officers to contact him.
• Jiang Xia left the TV station without checking his phone and was immediately approached and taken into a police car by two officers.
• Paparazzi photographed Jiang Xia being taken away, then lost interest when they recognized him as a detective.

Jiang Xia and the others realized Tsuji Hiroki might be the next target in Murakami Jo’s attacks, but Tsuji insisted on taking a helicopter joyride. The chapter ended with Jiang Xia considering how to stop the flight before Tsuji’s likely crash.

• Mouri Ran, Jiang Xia, and Haibara Ai noticed Tsuji Hiroki’s autograph and suspected he was the next person targeted.
• Mouri Kogoro called Tsuji Hiroki, warned him about the attacks, and learned that he planned to fly a helicopter from Higashizawa Airport.
• At the airport, Tsuji Hiroki dismissed the danger and invited Inspector Megure and Jiang Xia to join him in the helicopter.
• Inspector Megure agreed to fly with Tsuji Hiroki and arranged for police to guard the aircraft and its destination.
• Jiang Xia realized he needed to stop the trip by disabling either the helicopter or the pilot.

Jiang Xia secretly anesthetized Tsuji Hiroki before he could pilot his helicopter, preventing a dangerous flight after someone switched his eye drops with Mydriatic. With Tsuji safe, the police turned their attention to identifying the next target, “Nine.”

• Jiang Xia used Xiao Bai's puppet to jab Tsuji Hiroki with an anesthetic needle while the others were distracted.
• Tsuji Hiroki collapsed in the cockpit, and Conan found that his breathing and heartbeat were normal.
• Conan identified the eye drops as Mydriatic, which could have impaired Tsuji's vision during his flight toward the sun.
• At the hospital, Sato Miwako explained the danger of the switched eye drops, and Conan considered the attacker's next target.
• Inspector Megure asked Jiang Xia to identify “Nine,” but Jiang Xia pretended he could not remember.

Inspector Megure and the others suspected Sawaki Kohei might be the next target in the attacks on Mouri Kogoro, so they accompanied him to meet Asahi Katsuyoshi at the Aqua Crystal Seabed Restaurant. The group arrived at the cable car station and prepared to travel out to the offshore restaurant.

• Mouri Kogoro recalled his sommelier friend Sawaki Kohei, and Inspector Megure’s group went to Sawaki’s home.
• Sawaki explained that he had an appointment with Asahi Katsuyoshi to discuss managing a restaurant at the Aqua Crystal Seabed Restaurant.
• Jiang Xia noted that Asahi’s name might fit the attacker’s sequence, and Inspector Megure decided to accompany Sawaki.
• The group drove to Tokyo Bay and reached the cable car station leading to the offshore restaurant.

Jiang Xia and Conan noticed that the guests invited to the Seabed Restaurant seemed linked to numbers, and Conan began to suspect that Murakami Jo knew far more about them than he should. The group headed to meet Asahi Katsuyoshi, while Conan wondered how Murakami had learned about his presence and Eri’s favorite chocolate.

• Four celebrities—Osanai Nana, Nishina Minoru, Shishido Eimei, and Peter Ford—arrived and confirmed that Asahi Katsuyoshi had invited them all for the same time.
• Jiang Xia pointed out to Inspector Shiratori that the guests’ names corresponded to a sequence of numbers, prompting Shiratori to worry that Murakami Jo might attack them.
• The celebrities entered the building with the others to take the cable car to the Seabed Restaurant.
• Conan told Jiang Xia that the people gathered seemed to represent nearly every number, and Jiang Xia suggested Shiratori’s full name accounted for three.
• Jiang Xia called Conan by his real name, Kudo Shinichi, and Conan wondered how Murakami Jo had known he was there.
• Conan recalled that Murakami had sent Eri poisoned chocolate in her favorite brand at a moment when it could serve as an apology from Kogoro.

Jiang Xia and the police searched the Seabed Restaurant for the missing Asahi Katsuyoshi, then questioned the guests about their possible connections to Murakami Jo. Osanai Nana reacted suspiciously when asked about Murakami Jo, but abruptly deflected attention by attacking Nishina Minoru’s writing.

• Jiang Xia and the others rode the Cable Car to the Seabed Restaurant, where Mouri Kogoro and Nishina Minoru struggled with their fear of heights and water.
• The group discovered that Asahi Katsuyoshi had not arrived, and Inspector Megure agreed to search for him if he remained missing.
• Jiang Xia and several others searched the rooms but found no bodies or anything unusual, then returned to the hall.
• The guests compared their names and realized they could represent the numbers from eight to one, though most had no apparent connection to Mouri Kogoro.
• Nishina Minoru and Shishido Eimei admitted they had encountered Murakami Jo in prison, while Osanai Nana reacted nervously before claiming she did not know him.
• When Conan questioned Osanai Nana about her reaction, she angrily changed the subject and accused Nishina Minoru of writing a terrible book about restaurants.

At a gathering, Osanai Nana tried to distract Jiang Xia from her suspicion that he might know about a hit-and-run accident she had committed. Jiang Xia correctly identified her wine by reading its label, and Osanai left without getting him to drink.

• Osanai Nana challenged Nishina Minoru to identify a wine, and he wrongly called it Chambertin.
• Osanai Nana remembered hitting a motorcyclist three months earlier and fleeing, and wondered whether the victim could have been Murakami Jo.
• Osanai Nana sat beside Jiang Xia and tried to distract him by touching him and offering him wine.
• Mouri Ran objected that Jiang Xia was a high school student and should not be drinking.
• Jiang Xia identified the wine as Pang Zhuo's Windmill Bar and explained that he had seen the label when Osanai poured it.
• Osanai Nana swallowed the wine and stood up, accusing Jiang Xia of having experience with alcohol.

The guests discussed their invitations from Asahi Katsuyoshi before Sawaki Kohei found a letter asking him to retrieve wine from the cellar. Jiang Xia and Conan followed Sawaki, while the rest of the group explored the wine collection.

• Nishina Minoru checked the wine and learned from Sawaki Kohei that old grapes could give inexpensive wine the aroma of a grand cru.
• Conan told Jiang Xia that he had seen Sawaki secretly licking chili powder in the kitchen.
• Nishina, Shishido Eimei, and Osanai Nana compared the similar invitations and gifts they had received from Asahi Katsuyoshi.
• Peter Ford found a letter addressed to Sawaki, who read Asahi's request to fetch wine from rack M18 and share it with the guests.
• Jiang Xia and Inspector Megure accompanied Sawaki to the wine cellar, where Inspector Shiratori identified several wines.
• Conan and Jiang Xia followed Sawaki toward rack M18 after he entered the cellar.

Jiang Xia caught a crossbow bolt triggered by a wire in the wine cellar, revealing another attack connected to the previous incidents. The group suspected the trap had targeted Sawaki Kohei, while Jiang Xia concealed how capable he was at fighting.

• Conan spotted a Steel Wire stretched across the path and called for everyone to stop, but Sawaki Kohei ran into it and triggered a hidden crossbow.
• Jiang Xia caught the bolt barehanded, then found the crossbow and a Spade Eight at the end of the corridor.
• Inspector Megure recognized the bolt as matching the one used in attacks on him and Professor Agasa, and Jiang Xia concluded the same attacker was responsible.
• Inspector Megure reassured Sawaki Kohei that the trap appeared aimed at him, while Shishido Eimei expressed surprise at Jiang Xia's ability.
• Jiang Xia claimed he had caught the bolt by luck and privately reflected that concealing his fighting skills helped criminals stay near him.

Jiang Xia and the others discovered Asahi Katsuyoshi’s body in the aquarium and found themselves trapped inside the Seabed Restaurant. During a blackout, Osanai Nana was murdered, and Jiang Xia found a handprint suggesting she had been seized from behind.

• Jiang Xia spotted Asahi Katsuyoshi’s corpse in the aquarium with a playing card pinned to his collar.
• Inspector Megure found the exits sealed and the phones unusable, leaving the group trapped inside the restaurant.
• Inspector Megure sent most of the group to search for another exit while Jiang Xia kept Conan with Mouri Ran.

• The group found Osanai Nana dead near the entrance, and Conan said she had fled after her fingernails began glowing.
• Jiang Xia examined Osanai Nana’s body and found a purplish handprint on her left rear shoulder.

Jiang Xia exposed Sawaki Kohei as the attacker behind the killings and bomb threats at the Seabed Restaurant. Sawaki confessed to his motive and began naming the people he had targeted, including Nishina Minoru.

• Conan realized the killer was right-handed, which ruled out the left-handed Murakami Jo, and spotted wet marks on Sawaki Kohei’s trouser cuff.
• Sawaki pointed out a supposed clue by the window, but Jiang Xia stopped Conan from approaching it and accused Sawaki of being the killer.
• Jiang Xia noted the bulge in Sawaki’s chest pocket, and Sawaki pulled out a wine cork that Osanai Nana had handled before her death.
• Jiang Xia explained that Sawaki had imitated Murakami Jo to disguise his own string of attacks and connected Sawaki’s lost sense of taste to Osanai’s hit-and-run.
• Sawaki confessed that Osanai had injured him and that he had also wanted revenge on Tsuji Hiroki and Asahi Katsuyoshi before pointing at Nishina Minoru.

Sawaki Kohei detonated explosives that flooded the underwater dining room, but Jiang Xia and Mouri Ran escaped being crushed by the Ferrari. Sawaki was pinned beneath the car and began sinking, though he had a portable oxygen tank to help him survive.

• Sawaki Kohei detonated the explosives, blasting openings in the Fish Tank and its windows.
• Jiang Xia pushed Mouri Ran clear of the Ferrari F40 as the floodwaters swept through the dining room.
• Mouri Ran kicked apart a table rushing toward Jiang Xia, and the two reached the ceiling and held on.
• The Ferrari pinned Sawaki Kohei’s calf and dragged him toward the seabed as he struggled underwater.
• Sawaki Kohei pulled a portable mini Oxygen Tank from his jacket.

After the restaurant flooded, Sawaki Kohei remained trapped under a Ferrari while the others reached the ceiling and searched for a way out. As they looked for a breach, Jiang Xia secretly formed a mermaid puppet and sent it toward the car.

• Sawaki Kohei calmed down after getting oxygen and hoped the police would eventually come to free him.
• Inspector Megure counted the survivors and realized Sawaki Kohei was missing, while Nishina Minoru suspected he was hiding nearby.
• Jiang Xia suggested the group search for a breach below the restaurant, and everyone began looking for one.
• Jiang Xia secretly made a mermaid puppet from Puppet Clay and sent it to retrieve a curtain trapped under rubble.
• The mermaid puppet swam toward the Ferrari while Sawaki Kohei watched the others ignore him and began to despair.
