Detective Conan 15
July 15, 2007
The snowbound murder case with teachers from last volume wraps up. Ran solves it this time, not asleep, with Conan coaching her from the next room. She doesn’t wind up liking the verdict though, so the case ends with her weeping into Conan. Aww.
The next case is a really weird one, and also a Detective Boys case, which also means it kind of sucks. Members of popular band Two-Mix are kidnapped, and the kidnappers tell the police they will only release the pair if the Detective Boys deliver a certain item to them. Conan winds up outsmarting them, but of course the other three botch things up and there winds up being some gunfire and everyone is locked in a room that is on fire… you know how that stuff goes. We also get reminded what an awful singer Shinichi is, and there’s some karaoke at the end. No murder though (not directly, anyway), so hooray for that.
The next case involves mahjong and murder. Ran is some sort of gifted mahjong player, but hates that Kogoro takes Conan to the parlors to bet (of course, Conan is helping Kogoro to win, but that’s not so obvious). The murder is a locked-room case, has three suspects, and involves chemicals and personal habits. I liked this case quite a bit, it was pretty gimmicky.
The last chapter is the very beginning of a case which carries over into the next volume and involves a guy falling onto a spiked fence and also a mansion. We’ll see how that goes.
