Chapter Summaries

Someone secretly put a Sleeping Pill in a cup of coffee, but a white film kept it from dissolving, and Jiang Xia drank from the cup. He then asked the group about the tragedy that had ended their Yacht Club outings two years earlier.

• Granny Yone and Mouri Ran made coffee while someone slipped a Sleeping Pill into one cup.
• A thin white film encased the pill, keeping it intact in the coffee.
• Mist Tengu identified the drugged cup, and Jiang Xia picked it up and drank from it.
• Jiang Xia asked the group about the Yacht Club’s tragedy from two years earlier.
• Rokuda Masashi said Nanao drowned while searching for Reika after a storm separated them on a remote island.
• Gojo Osamu said Nikaido had found Reika afterward and that their engagement had followed.

The group decided to search the Villa again for the missing Reika Yotsui, suspecting that the killer might be among them. As the search began, Jiang Xia pretended to feel unwell and stayed behind, leaving Conan to take the lead.

• The young talents agreed to search the Villa again for Reika Yotsui despite their unease about the marriage contract and the possibility that Reika herself was the killer.
• Rokuda Masashi divided the search teams, assigning Mifune and Gojo to the upper floors and himself and Ichieda Takashi to the west side of the first floor.
• Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Jiang Xia were assigned to search the east side of the first floor, while Conan was treated as too young to count as a search partner.
• Jiang Xia stopped by a sofa and claimed he felt unwell, so Granny Yone covered him with a blanket and he appeared to fall asleep.
• Suzuki Sonoko found that Jiang Xia had no fever, and Conan decided to let him rest while the others searched, suspecting Jiang Xia had entered idle mode after Nikaido Yuji's death.

During a power outage at the Villa, Mouri Ran, Suzuki Sonoko, and Conan chased a figure into the woods and got lost. Granny Yone found them, but they realized Jiang Xia had been left alone.

• The Villa lost power, and Conan led Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko toward the circuit breaker.

• Ichieda Takashi discovered Jiang Xia had taken the drugged coffee and decided to drown him in the kitchen sink.
• Ichieda Takashi reached for Jiang Xia’s collar, but Jiang Xia sat up, rubbed his eyes, and grabbed a rolling pin.

• The young men carried Reika to the dining room and attempted first aid while Conan corrected their technique.

Jiang Xia visited Professor Agasa to see a new invention and request a more convenient Collapsible Baton, but the experiment exploded and blew a hole through the wall. Haibara Ai nearly confronted Agasa before remembering she was supposed to act like a stranger to Jiang Xia.

• After returning to the city, Jiang Xia told Gin that Reika Yotsui was dead and resumed staking out cases.
• Professor Agasa invited Jiang Xia over, hoping to help him relax and recommend a psychiatrist.
• Jiang Xia watched Agasa's strange gel experiment and sensed it was about to explode.
• Jiang Xia pulled Agasa under the experiment table just before the invention exploded, filling the room with rainbow-colored light and blasting a hole through the wall.
• Agasa suspected Haibara Ai was angry with him, and Haibara stopped herself from confronting him when she remembered she had to pretend she barely knew Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia recognized Professor Agasa’s “Tropical Rainbow” bomb as connected to a future demolition that could endanger Officer Sato, and he made a note to help her. A threatening caller then contacted Conan as Kudo Shinichi, claiming to have stolen explosives and put children in danger.

• Haibara Ai checked Professor Agasa for injuries after the bomb exploded, while Conan watched her worry about Jiang Xia.
• Jiang Xia learned the explosive was called “Tropical Rainbow” and remembered that it would be used to demolish an art museum, where Officer Sato would later be trapped.

• The caller claimed to have stolen explosives from the Toyo Gunpowder Depot and threatened children at Tsugawa Greenery Park if Conan did not hurry there.

Jiang Xia used a handmade dove puppet to divert a bomb-laden remote-control plane from a crowded park, while Conan learned that the bomber had planted another bomb near Beika Station. Conan headed to investigate the clue and warned Jiang Xia to stay away so the bomber would not target him.

• Jiang Xia went to Greenery Park, spotted the Detective Boys with a bomb-laden plane, and remotely controlled a fake dove puppet to intercept it.
• Conan found the Detective Boys and tried to take the remote control, but it broke during their struggle and the plane went out of control.
• The dove carried the plane into the sky, where it exploded without injuring the crowd, and the bomber called Conan to demand Kudo Shinichi’s arrival.
• Conan posed as a child and persuaded the bomber to give a clue to the next bomb near Beika Station: it was under a tree but not buried beneath one.
• Conan saw Jiang Xia outside the park and called to warn him not to approach, since the bomber might shift his threats to another high school detective.

Jiang Xia identified the Bomb Maniac’s clue and raced to confront him while Conan headed for the bomb at Beika Station. Jiang Xia caught the bomber, revealed as Moriya Teiji, and left him stunned on the ground as he opened a collapsible baton.

• Jiang Xia suggested that the clue “beneath the tree” pointed to a cat carrier, and Conan realized it was a pun on tree roots.
• Conan planned to deal with the Beika Station bomb while Jiang Xia helped catch the bomber, but Jiang Xia hung up and sped off to attack him.
• Jiang Xia used Mist Tengu to locate the Bomb Maniac, who was hiding on an abandoned building’s rooftop.
• The Bomb Maniac removed his disguise and was revealed as Moriya Teiji, who had planted bombs to destroy his architectural work and take revenge on Kudo Shinichi.
• Jiang Xia grabbed Moriya Teiji by the collar, slammed him to the ground, and opened a collapsible baton as Moriya recognized him as a famous detective.

Jiang Xia forced Moriya Teiji to reveal the locations of his bombs, then handed the blueprints to Sato Miwako when she and the others found them. The police began acting on the information while Moriya Teiji remained in custody.

• Jiang Xia beat Moriya Teiji until he drew the bomb locations on the Touto Loop Line and in Beika City Hall.
• Jiang Xia ignored calls from Sato Miwako and Conan so Moriya Teiji would finish listing the bombs before the police arrived.
• Conan deduced that Jiang Xia was likely in a cluster of abandoned buildings and led Sato Miwako and the others there.
• Sato Miwako found Jiang Xia unharmed beside a battered Moriya Teiji, who rushed toward the police when he heard them.
• Jiang Xia gave Sato Miwako the bomb-location blueprints, and she photographed them and sent them to Inspector Megure.

After helping the police defuse Moriya Teiji’s bombs, Jiang Xia spent more time at Professor Agasa’s house and overheard Hattori Heiji invite Conan to Osaka. Hattori’s strange insistence on the invitation left Conan eager to investigate a case without Jiang Xia, while Jiang Xia quietly planned to visit Osaka too.

• Moriya Teiji cooperated with Officer Sato and Officer Takagi, and his blueprint helped the police locate and defuse the remaining bombs.
• Jiang Xia visited Professor Agasa’s house more often, and Conan began coming there to share meals.
• Hattori Heiji called Conan after dreaming that Kudo Shinichi had been stabbed to death and urged him to visit Osaka.
• Conan suggested inviting Jiang Xia, but Hattori refused and proposed inviting Mouri Kogoro instead.
• Conan guessed that Hattori had a difficult case to discuss and eagerly agreed to go, while Jiang Xia secretly planned to visit Osaka as a tourist.

Jiang Xia asked Gin whether he needed to report a trip to Osaka, and Gin assigned him to deal with escaped former Organization member Numabuchi Kiichiro if he encountered him. Jiang Xia followed Hattori Heiji’s group to Osaka, where Toyama Kazuha approached him to see the “Kudo” Heiji often talked about.

• Jiang Xia messaged Gin to ask whether he needed to report his planned trip to Osaka, and Gin explained the travel rules.
• Gin gave Jiang Xia Numabuchi Kiichiro’s file and asked him to deal with the escaped former Organization member if he found him near Osaka.

• Jiang Xia watched Hattori Heiji’s group at an okonomiyaki restaurant and waited for the food to arrive before approaching them.
• Toyama Kazuha spotted Jiang Xia outside the restaurant and studied him, wanting to see the “Kudo” Hattori Heiji talked about.

Toyama Kazuha mistook Jiang Xia for the boyfriend of the woman she believed Hattori Heiji was seeing, sparking a chaotic misunderstanding that was eventually cleared up. Jiang Xia joined the group for lunch, but their peaceful outing ended when a corpse fell onto their car.

• Toyama Kazuha saw Jiang Xia near Hattori Heiji and assumed Jiang Xia was the boyfriend of the woman she believed Heiji was pursuing.
• Kazuha formed an alliance with Jiang Xia and promised to help him win his girlfriend back, while Hattori Heiji misread their closeness as Jiang Xia making a move on Kazuha.
• Kazuha called Heiji a mistress, and Jiang Xia realized he was the only one who understood the misunderstanding.
• The four high school students cleared up their relationship confusion and introduced themselves, then Jiang Xia joined them for lunch.
• After the group left the restaurant, a corpse fell onto the hood of their car.

After a body fell onto Hattori Heiji’s police car, he and Conan investigated a third murder in a serial case while Jiang Xia stayed behind. Jiang Xia noticed that the victims’ driver’s licenses might link them through the DMV, and Inspector Otaki agreed to investigate that lead.

• A corpse fell from the rooftop onto Hattori Heiji’s police car, and Heiji and Conan rushed upstairs to investigate.
• Heiji and Conan learned that a tea shop owner had opened the rooftop door after receiving a phone call, triggering the hidden body to fall; they recognized the killing as part of a serial case.
• Jiang Xia pointed out a strange long-haired woman, who fled in a car when Heiji and Conan approached her.
• At the police station, Heiji explained that the three victims had been strangled and stabbed, with their wallets pinned to their chests; Sakata Yusuke brought footage linking two victims to councilman Kyosuke.
• Heiji and Conan left with Sakata to see the councilman, while Toyama Kazuha stayed with Jiang Xia and made him comfortable.
• Jiang Xia told Inspector Otaki that the driver’s licenses in the victims’ wallets might point to a connection involving cars, and Otaki agreed to check the DMV.

Jiang Xia connected the victims to a driving school and uncovered Sakata Yusuke’s revenge plot, prompting police to arrest him at the DMV. Sakata was left wondering how his plan had been exposed as Jiang Xia met his gaze.

• Inspector Otaki learned that Hattori Heiji and Sakata Yusuke had found Okazaki Sumie’s strangled body at Greenery Apartment.
• Jiang Xia told Gin that Numabuchi Kiichiro was near Minoo Falls, and Gin sent Osaka operatives to capture him.
• A DMV clerk revealed that all four victims had attended the same driving school and class, taught by an instructor who died in a crash.
• Jiang Xia recognized the instructor’s resemblance to Sakata Yusuke and warned Inspector Otaki that Sakata might be seeking revenge with his service gun.
• Sakata recalled that Numabuchi had confessed to helping tamper with the instructor’s brakes, and that Sakata had hidden him and killed the former students.
• Police seized Sakata Yusuke and disarmed him when he arrived at the DMV with Hattori Heiji and Conan, leaving him to suspect Jiang Xia had exposed his plan.

Sakata Yusuke confessed to the murders after mistaking Jiang Xia’s attempt to avoid his gaze for a sign that the detective had seen through him. After the case ended, Hattori Heizo confronted Hattori Heiji about avoiding Jiang Xia.

• Jiang Xia moved out of Sakata Yusuke’s line of sight to avoid being tempted by the remaining killing intent.
• Sakata Yusuke concluded that Jiang Xia knew his motive and confessed to killing the victims.
• Otaki and the others mistook Jiang Xia’s quiet mourning for killing intent for a sign that he had pressured Sakata into confessing.

• Jiang Xia went to the condemned Haido Art Museum and found Sato Miwako and an escaped convict trapped together by handcuffs in a restroom.
• Sato Miwako told Jiang Xia that the convict claimed he had not killed anyone and was trying to attend his daughter’s wedding, then asked him to help Takagi investigate.

Jiang Xia freed Sato Miwako from the handcuffs, and they escaped the building before its bombs could be detonated. Sato tried to disguise herself and the suspect while avoiding her colleagues, but Jiang Xia’s errand immediately drew the police’s attention.

• Jiang Xia warned Sato Miwako that the building was scheduled for demolition by explosion and kicked apart the pipe holding her handcuffs.
