Chapter Summaries

Gin discovered that Vodka had prepared cookies laced with anesthetic for Uzo, and tested them by making Vodka eat them. After Vodka woke up, Gin arranged a meeting with Uzo and reconsidered whether to resume giving him assassination missions.

• Gin raised the car window and demanded an explanation after Vodka warned him about the cookies.
• Vodka admitted that he had added a little anesthetic to snacks meant for Uzo, hoping to stop him if he became dangerous.
• Gin ordered Vodka to eat the cookies, and Vodka promptly fell unconscious in the driver’s seat.
• Gin messaged Uzo to set a handover for 10:40 that night, contacted Chianti and Korn, and decided to assess Uzo before resuming his Assassination List.
• Vodka woke up about twenty minutes later and offered to dispose of the remaining snacks, but Gin gave no clear response.

Vodka took Gin’s silence as approval to keep the anesthetic pastries as a safeguard against Uzo, while Jiang Xia looked forward to meeting Gin and harvesting his Killing Intent. Amuro Tooru then arrived at the Detective Agency with an urgent mission, intending to test his suspicions about Jiang Xia on a drive.

• Vodka suggested keeping the anesthetic pastries, and Gin told him to drive to their appointment with President Yamazaki.
• Jiang Xia recalled his failed attempts to locate Gin’s home and how he had stopped tracking him after wasting Ghost Mint.
• Jiang Xia learned the price of Gin’s modified ship from Vermouth and considered the Organization’s repair costs when planning how to disable its vehicles.
• After delivering cats to a client, Jiang Xia planned to scout his arranged meeting place with Gin, but Amuro Tooru entered the Detective Agency.
• Amuro Tooru asked Jiang Xia to leave immediately for an urgent mission as part of a plan to test whether Jiang Xia was Uzo.

Amuro Tooru took Jiang Xia out of the city under the pretext of an urgent mission, intending to test whether cases followed Jiang Xia without planning. Jiang Xia suspected the trip was a trap, but the car’s signal jammer led him to a new guess about Amuro’s intentions.

• Amuro Tooru decided to test Jiang Xia’s Case Magnet Constitution by taking him on a trip and watching for cases.
• Jiang Xia agreed to go with Amuro Tooru while considering whether his boss intended to arrest or investigate him.
• Amuro Tooru drove Jiang Xia away from the Detective Agency toward the outskirts, and Jiang Xia hoped the trip would lead to a case.
• Jiang Xia considered postponing his planned exchange of 100 million yen with Gin so he could pursue cases with Amuro Tooru.
• Jiang Xia discovered his phone had no signal and suspected the car contained a signal jammer.
• Jiang Xia connected the signal jammer and Amuro Tooru’s recent behavior to a vague theory about his boss’s plan.

Jiang Xia went along with Amuro Tooru’s attempt to verify whether he was Uzo, while arranging for a Puppet to message Gin and postpone their meeting. When Gin asked whether Jiang Xia suspected Bourbon, Jiang Xia replied that there was a problem, leaving Gin to read his full explanation.

• Jiang Xia considered ways to ensure a case and Ghosts would turn up during the trip, then relaxed and went along with Amuro Tooru’s investigation.
• Jiang Xia possessed the Matsuda Jinpei Puppet to contact Gin, deciding not to risk sending it to meet Gin alone while he was away with Amuro Tooru.
• Gin received Jiang Xia’s message postponing their meeting because Bourbon suspected him of being Uzo and planned to verify it.
• Gin reasoned that Bourbon might have correctly connected Jiang Xia to Uzo, then asked whether Jiang Xia thought Bourbon had a problem.
• Jiang Xia considered how cooperating with Bourbon could preserve his Red Side cover, then replied to Gin that there was a problem.
• Gin read Jiang Xia’s full reply and fell silent.

Gin read Uzo’s suspicions about Bourbon and concluded that Uzo had repeatedly tried to kill him, while Bourbon was still testing whether Jiang Xia was Uzo. Gin told Uzo to stop targeting Bourbon, but hesitated to expose Uzo’s identity to Bourbon, leaving their conflict unresolved.

• Gin read Uzo’s email accusing Bourbon of surviving repeated accidents with help from a hidden force and suspected Uzo had a grudge against him.
• Gin reasoned that Bourbon had linked Uzo to Jiang Xia through their overlapping movements and was testing several suspects rather than knowing for certain.
• Gin considered withholding assassination missions so Uzo might kill Bourbon, but instead ordered Uzo not to target an organization cadre.
• Uzo replied that Bourbon’s test was a challenge to his disguise, and Gin realized Uzo had twisted his order to refuse to stop.
• Gin considered telling Bourbon that Jiang Xia was Uzo, but hesitated because exposing him could damage his standing and strengthen Rum’s faction.

Gin canceled his planned exchange with Uzo, while Amuro Tooru took Jiang Xia out of the city to investigate something. Their drive ended almost immediately at a roadside scene marked by rising black smoke.

• Gin decided not to warn Amuro Tooru about Uzo and told Jiang Xia to message him when he was finished so they could reschedule the 100 million yen handover.
• Gin canceled his plan to meet Uzo and arranged to visit Tanaka Yuichi at 10:40 instead.
• Jiang Xia used Matsuda Jinpei's puppet to send a message, then rode with Amuro Tooru toward the outskirts while handing over both phones.
• Amuro Tooru spotted black smoke rising beside a bridge and river ditch less than half an hour into the drive.
• Amuro Tooru parked by the riverbank at the crossing where the smoke was rising.

Jiang Xia and Amuro Tooru found the aftermath of a collision, with one car burning in the river and another stopped by the bank. As Amuro went to rescue the driver in the burning car, Jiang Xia approached the green car, while Matsuda Jinpei speculated about Amuro’s secretive life and looked forward to fresh sake-flavored Killing Intent.

• Jiang Xia and Amuro Tooru discovered two wrecked cars at the river, with the red car submerged and on fire.
• Amuro Tooru sent Jiang Xia to check the driver of the green car and headed for the burning red car himself.

• Matsuda Jinpei’s thoughts turned to Killing Intent flavors, and he anticipated meeting the source of sake-flavored Killing Intent.
• Jiang Xia saw that Matsuda Jinpei was excited rather than melancholy and walked over to inspect the green car.

Jiang Xia and Amuro Tooru responded to a car crash, helping the injured green-car driver and attempting to reach the red car’s driver. Amuro found the red-car driver dead, and the group moved away from the burning vehicle while he wondered whether Jiang Xia’s unusually alert response meant his trauma was improving.

• Jiang Xia woke the injured green-car driver and got him to call an Ambulance and the traffic police.

• Amuro Tooru warned Jiang Xia and the driver to move away from the riverbank, then considered whether Jiang Xia’s alertness showed improvement.

Jiang Xia and Amuro Tooru witnessed a fatal car crash, and Jiang Xia comforted the shaken driver while Amuro wondered whether the explosion had been more than an accident. Mouri Kogoro, Mouri Ran, and Conan arrived at the scene, leaving Amuro and Conan suspicious of their repeated encounters with Jiang Xia.

• A red car exploded after colliding with a green car, and its driver’s Shikigami emerged and clung to the green car’s driver.
• Jiang Xia comforted Kurumaya Seiji and told him to wait for the traffic police to determine responsibility, while Amuro suspected there might be hidden circumstances behind the crash.

• Amuro wondered whether Conan’s repeated encounters with Jiang Xia were more than coincidence, while Conan felt uneasy under Amuro’s stare.

Jiang Xia, Conan, and Amuro Tooru waited at a car accident scene while each considered the others’ plans. As police and ambulances arrived, Amuro Tooru prepared to take Jiang Xia away for his experiment once the incident was resolved.

• Traffic police and ambulances arrived at the accident scene.

After a fatal car accident, Jiang Xia met traffic officer Miyamoto Yumi, who recognized him, took a selfie, and chatted with him while police handled the scene. Her unexpected familiarity and playful head-ruffling left Jiang Xia considering her as another possible way to draw out Akai Shuichi.

• Miyamoto Yumi arrived at the accident scene and saw the injured green car driver being treated while rescuers lifted the red car and its dead occupant from the water.
• Miyamoto Yumi recognized Jiang Xia, took a selfie with him, and sent it to Sato Miwako while Mouri Ran tried to stop her from revealing too much.
• Miyamoto Yumi asked Jiang Xia whether he was traveling for a difficult case, and he told her he was only handling an ordinary commission.
• After the green car driver received treatment, Miyamoto Yumi ruffled Jiang Xia's hair under the pretense of removing a thread, then went to question the driver.
• Jiang Xia realized Miyamoto Yumi had touched his hair on purpose and considered her another possible lure for Akai Shuichi.

Miyamoto Yumi questioned the green car driver while Jiang Xia inspected the vehicle and Amuro Tooru arranged for Public Security to steal Jiang Xia’s phone. Jiang Xia learned of the theft through his Ghosts and decided to let the conflict between the Organization and Public Security continue.

• Miyamoto Yumi questioned Kurumaya Seiji, who claimed he had entered the intersection without stopping and collided with another car.
• Matsuda Jinpei noticed that the green car’s bumper had been recently modified, and Jiang Xia relayed the observation to Amuro Tooru.
• Amuro Tooru reflected on whether the accident and their detour had been orchestrated by Uzo, then watched one of his undercover subordinates approach the riverbank.
• Kazami Yuuya, disguised as traffic police, took Jiang Xia’s phone from Amuro Tooru’s car and replaced it with two identical phones.
• Mist Tengu spotted Kazami Yuuya’s theft and alerted Jiang Xia, who decided the stolen phone posed little risk because its sensitive data and communications were protected.
• Jiang Xia chose not to introduce Professor Agasa to Public Security because he wanted the struggle between the Organization and Public Security to continue producing Ghosts and Killing Intent.

Jiang Xia and Miyamoto Yumi investigated a fatal collision and found evidence that sunlight reflected from a billboard may have blinded the red car’s driver. Conan noticed Jiang Xia’s unusually improved focus and wondered whether he had secretly started seeing a psychiatrist.

• Miyamoto Yumi explained that the intersection was known for accidents caused by the Collision Course Phenomenon.
• Kurumaya Seiji pretended to mourn the death, while Miyamoto Yumi questioned why he had not slowed down at the intersection.

• Jiang Xia concluded that sunlight reflected from a roadside billboard may have caused the glare, and Conan activated his glasses’ anti-spoiler feature.
• Conan wondered whether Jiang Xia’s improved case-solving focus meant he had secretly visited a psychiatrist.

Conan recalled seeing the accident drivers argue at a Convenience Store and sent Kazami Yuuya to investigate. At the crash scene, Jiang Xia’s clues pointed to Kurumaya Seiji having tampered with the billboard and swapped cars, while Conan listened in from the road to the store.

• Conan recognized the red car’s driver as the man who had argued with the green car’s driver at a Convenience Store and told Kazami Yuuya about it.
• Kazami Yuuya took two traffic police officers to verify Conan’s tip with the Mouris.
• Jiang Xia explained that a strong reflected beam and the Collision Course Phenomenon had blinded the victim before the crash, and Miyamoto Yumi found signs that the billboard had been moved earlier.
• Jiang Xia noted that Kurumaya Seiji’s car was full of old and new cigarette butts matching the victim’s, and Amuro Tooru suspected that the two men had swapped cars.
• Conan rode with Mouri Kogoro toward the Convenience Store while listening to the investigation through his Listening Device.

Jiang Xia exposed Kurumaya Seiji’s murder plot, and Kurumaya confessed after the police confronted him. As Jiang Xia and Amuro Tooru left the station, Amuro found a listening device hidden on their car and realized Conan had planted it.

• Conan overheard Jiang Xia’s deductions and reconstructed how Kurumaya Seiji had rigged the billboard to cause the victim’s crash.

• Amuro detected a transmitting device, searched the car, and found Conan’s Listening Device wrapped in chewing gum beside a tire.

• Amuro Tooru secretly discarded the Listening Device and Transmitter he had found in his car, then planted a different device in a handkerchief as a cover story.
• Jiang Xia blamed the device on a reporter, and Amuro Tooru pretended to trace it while privately deciding to investigate Edogawa Conan after his inquiry into Jiang Xia was complete.

Jiang Xia and Amuro Tooru encountered Rum, disguised as the chef Wakita, at a specialty restaurant. Rum recognized Jiang Xia as Uzo and wondered why he was with Bourbon, while Amuro worried that Rum might take an interest in Jiang Xia.

• Amuro Tooru checked the restaurant parking lot for Mouri Kogoro and other suspicious acquaintances before entering with Jiang Xia.

• Rum recognized Jiang Xia as Uzo and, after seeing Amuro beside him, recalled that Jiang Xia worked at Bourbon’s Detective Agency.

• Rum considered Uzo’s position and potential, decided not to tell Bourbon about his identity, and recalled the failed attempt to capture Gin that had exposed Akai Shuichi.
• Rum noticed a woman in a pale pink suit speaking with Jiang Xia, assumed she was asking the Great Detective for an autograph, and returned to his work as a chef.
• Amuro Tooru listened warily to Jiang Xia’s conversation with Narita Mayu, then relaxed when he heard nothing suspicious.
• Narita Mayu’s colleague arrived and led her toward a private room, while Jiang Xia watched them leave.
• Amuro Tooru handed Jiang Xia a menu, and Jiang Xia ordered several of the restaurant’s most expensive dishes because he sensed someone nearby carried Killing Intent.
• Amuro Tooru saw the total and crossed out one or two expensive dishes, worried that Rum might notice their spending.

Jiang Xia and Amuro Tooru heard a scream from a nearby private room and found the president of Creno Network Company dead at his farewell party. Rum, working in the restaurant kitchen, connected the death to Jiang Xia and began reconsidering the rumors about Uzo.

• Jiang Xia and Amuro Tooru ate in the restaurant while Jiang Xia wondered why Rum had come to work there.
• Wuno Jiro thanked his employees at a farewell party, then collapsed and died after receiving a bouquet from Toda Junnosuke.
• Amuro Tooru stopped Jiang Xia from rushing in and told him to rein it in, then let him investigate the death.
• Jiang Xia cleared the onlookers, checked the scene, and called the police and an ambulance.
• Rum learned that Wuno had died and focused on the two employees who had interacted with Jiang Xia, considering whether the rumors about Uzo were true.

Rum concluded that Uzo had likely engineered President Wuno’s death and decided to watch the new member closely, hoping to bring him under his command. The police arrived and discovered that a poisoned needle hidden in a farewell bouquet had killed Wuno, making four employees who handled it suspects.

• Rum reviewed Uzo’s past cases and decided that his repeated successes were not mere luck but evidence of an unusual talent for manipulating events.
