I'll be storytiming the manga, one complete case per day. Most cases are around 3-6 chapters long. Feel free to drop in at any time, since it's mostly episodic.Case 17: Tenkaichi Festival MurderPrevious case: >>281898665
File 59: Night of the Festival
File 60: The Perfect Alibi!?
>>281925186Burning those seems so much safer though
File 61: Caught on Film
>>281925288Shinichi is extra grumpy today
>>281925471Clever.
Done. Maybe don't go around describing your circumstances to the police as the 'perfect alibi' if you don't want to be suspected, man.There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>281925519Can't get much more suspicious
>>281925595SMUG
>>281926068Thanks OP
>>281925688Probably the biggest hint in this case
>>281925876Yokomizu is so happy
>>281925936I WILL fuck Ran
>>281926000Insane save.
>>281926068I love KogoroThanks OP
>>281925136Are they gay
>>281925171Just booking it the fuck out of there with a decent disguise you can make innocuous after you get some distance is probably the smartest trick of all
>>281926738cute
>>281925202>already seeing the culpritInteresting
>>281925223Oh don't be a sourpuss Jimmy
>>281926869The Columbo way.
>>281925264This dude looks like such a stereotypical late 20th century author
>>281925288Our fucking detective
>>281925351
>>281925412Briefly thought that balloon was a new and wacky character
>>281926869Conan sometimes does a howdunit case to switch things up
>>281925453He knows it doesn't matter if the whole world suspects him so long as he can wriggle out
>>281925471>not dumping your own shit too Amateur hour over here
>>281925503Editors, man Ruthless
>>281925540This is such an odd case
>>281925595EhhhhhhhhMaybe I'm just a piece of shit, but especially in a hotel I might
>>281925709Based 98bro
>>281926738fucking whore
>>281925722I wonder if the final volume will have Conan/Shinichi here
>>281925288>they even let the random kid touch the bodyRichard Moore's relationship with his death-obsessed nephew makes me uncomfortable.
>>281925830>Kogoro smacks his head into the table before solving the case He had to jolt his little grey cells a little
>>281925976Hakuba Saguru would have solved this in 5 seconds
>>281925264I can't believe this dude appeared before all the Tokyo PD guys except Megure.
>>281925936The only problem with Sleeping Kogoro is that he can't do a good deductive point
>>281926000Cute proud daughter
>>281926037>defeated by pisu Tragic
>>281927309>aoyama in his way to write bullshit
>>281926347You'll have to get past me first
>>281926738Interesting crop to make
>>281927471I'm a lolicon.
>>281927534Aren't we all
>>281926948Yup, I always figure out who did it in those!
>>281925722So he's Japanese Columbo?
>>281925976It's a bit silly to think you can't take the coat off so you look the same in all the photos.There's at least one photo already from this year that does it, and obviously you'd still carry it with you anyways.
>>281925453I know it's for the sake of the alibi, but it's not like you were doing anything else, clearly, so instead of badgering for the time, just drive there early.
I finished the Hanzawa anime. It was legitimately a lot funnier than I expected
>>281925129I was proud of myself for this case as it's the first one I ever figured out the trick before it was revealed>>281925202These Columbo-style cases where we know who the murderer is ahead of time are among my favorites
>>281925722How do you guys feel about his manga/show?
>>281925722He looks like Spike Spiegel
>>281928829
>>281925595Idk, that's not really damning.Some people might do that.
>>281925641Oh! He fucked with the lens to turn the ichi into a ten!
I think I coulda solved this one!
>>281925976>he's been premeditating for a whole yearJesus...
>>281928798Conan was made to be Kindaichi killer and actually managed to do it
>>281929071That's honestly low tier compared to some of the cases in this manga. Some of these people be going through elaborate multi-stage plans over many years. There's a point where there are like 3 "I got close to your family to marry your daughter so I could kill you because of something you did like 10 years ago" cases very close to each other
>Conan the rapist
>>281928727Was the same for me but I couldn't find the evidence for the trick.
>>281928727Also had this case as the first solved one. It helped that it ended on a cliffhanger giving me two months to think about it before buying the next volume
>>281930668>giving me two months to think about it
>>281925976I feel like a better sign that it wasn't taken the same day is the people in the background are wearing warm clothing like a scarf, knit hat, etc. despite the apparent "heat" unless I'm getting the time of year confused.
I dunno, seems farfetched if you ask me
>>281930925You can see cherry blossom petals blowing in the wind during the festival. It seems spring was colder last year.
>>281927309He's never gonna make it if he still can't deduce that Conan is Shinichi. Even Sera can.
>>281928487It's not that you couldn't say "i took off the coat midway it was hot", and more that you don't want this very small discrepancy to make police think "...hey what if it's not from this year?"
>>281925976So what was his plan if the other guy went to the festival with him?Just wait another year?
>>281925379I've read through all of Conan some time ago, so perhaps I'm just remembering that, but my reflexive impression on this page here is this was obviously from the previous years festival.
>>281926948This story is also much like an actual Columbo mystery, which also had a novelist killer (though frankly Conan's probably got a murder case for every fucking profession under the sun by this point) of a former co-writer. Though that was an actual murder mystery writer too.
>>281925540Even the dectetive know he did it but he can't prove it
>>281930925Very well spotted anon
>>281932954I like how he's so fucking mad this guy is literally showing off his motivation AT THE CRIME SCENE while denying everything with a smug smile on his face. No wonder he's super appreciative to "Kogoro" for catching the dick.
>>281932687Wait, you're right. The killer in that one even tried to set up a perfect alibi, although that was via a phone call.
>>281925709>PC 9821xtJesus Christ.
>>281925412I like how yokomizo trusts his gut instinct. Megure just would have accepted the alibi without a second thought
>>281927192>>281928973I think it's pointed out in a later chapter that a lot of times Conan is really just bluffing and playing mind games. The suspect's reaction here is much more damning than conan's train of thought
>>281925958>he's just like shinichi! A-anyway, don't bother him when he's in this sleeping poseso ran totally knows that it's not actually her father making all the deductions, right?
>>281934163Nope, Ran is her father's daughter when it comes to deducing.
>Edogawa is Japanese reading of Edgar (Allan Poe)>Poe's most famous work is Raven, where the narrator is plagued by the bird>BO boss is associated with crows, which come from the same family as ravensGood thing Lovecraft wasn't on that shelf.
>>281925234Poor guy, choosing the world's greatest detective as part of his scheme.I know it's the conceit of detective/mystery stories but I always wonder how it'd go if they weren't present to solve it. I'd kind of like a "bad end" anthology of some of the more famous cases just to see interesting fallout. Kind of like that episode of Doctor Who where the Doctor dies and we go through the current season and show how much worse everything turns out without his involvement.
>>281925250Oh no! Ran reads smut!!!
>>281925379I always feel goofy doing my reasoning as I'm reading here since it's all been uploaded already, but I'm thinking that this picture is from the year before and that's why he had to insist on wearing that suit even though it was too hot, in order to match it. Not sure if there's anything on the photo to indicate that it's last year though yet.
>>281927109Yeah, that's my one gripe with this and most of Columbo. Very rarely do the murderers actually look distraught. They're so concerned with looking smart that it just looks so suspicious.
>>281925641Couldn't they analyze his hands for gunpowder residue? Even with gloves there could be something on him.
>>281925915Oh shit! Yeah! That was a good one.
>>281926015Oh damn! Awesome! This one was really good!
>>281926293Literally me.
>>281926750No man, you're thinking of "beep boop boop bop boop boop bop"!
>>281927027
>>281933649It's the pilot episode too.
>>281934110Should a detective rely on his intuition?
>>281935166I remember that episode.Back when nuWho was good.
>>281926068Another great case see ya op
>>281935215Smart...
>>281935482kek
>>281926068Thank you for posting.
>>281928973Some people might, but not Japanese. It's dishonorable behavior, because it goes against the traditional concept of 今日, which means "to greet someone without toothpaste in your mouth".
Not yet.
So what is Vermouth to the boss, his mom?
>>281941390Actress he liked.
>>281942425And they are hiding that secret from the rest of BO so they wouldn't make fun of him for his shit taste?
>>281938429Makes perfect sense
I really wish I could go to a reality where Conan was a hit manga but not the perpetual cultural phenomenon it ended up becoming.To see the original intended ending instead of the eternal milking
>>281943084Supposedly, back then the BO boss appeared in the manga as just another person, but who knows if that idea is still valid, I think people have pretty much gone through the entire cast asking Gosho if he (or she) is the one and got negative answer.
>>281944016His interviews led people to the correct answer.When he said that the boss has been mentioned, but hasn't appeared, there's only like 5 characters tops that would meet that criteria.
>>281942754>>281944016Everyone shortening it to BO just makes me thing they're a bunch of Yugioh players.
Best girl?
>>281946825
>>281947086Damn, she really killed him
Fingers crossed op posts this case, feels like a horror thriller with the detective boys
>>281947748 <<I believe my little sisters you've been using for wish fulfilment have some very choice moves to show you. And then we're going to pretend for fifty years that your kind don't really exist. Or am I wrong about something?Post treasure of rule in response.<
>>281947848Oh shit that guy was SCARY
>>281947086Incredibly, incredibly sexy image
>>281948368Richard is a good man
>>281925830>>281926068Okay there's gotta be a better way for Conan to solve mysteries before detective Mouri starts getting suspicious right?
>>281947086She looks really hot. I am very much looking forward to her introduction.
>>281949645He seems to relish the fame too much for it to be of any real concern
>>281950446>what a cute little boy, if I take the pill too maybe I'll have a chance with him
>>281950506How does the pill work?Does it de-age you to a specific age, or does it subtract a certain number of years?Either way, the Black Organization basically invented an immortality pill. Fuck any of their other crimes. They should be selling them at billions a piece.
>>281951476They did say it was new and untested when they gave Jimmy his.For all we know, he only got young because he ate peanuts or something earlier that reacted with the poison the way it did and would had died in any other scenario.
New purchase!

Done. Ahhh, island mysteries are always so kino. There is always only one truth! See you tomorrow!
>>281954549Oh sweet Moonlight Sonata. This was a major turning point imo
>>281954648Gruesome
>>281956479Thanks OP
>>281954676Is she implying Tokyo isn't clean and quiet? Well maybe not as much as this island but still a lot compared to what we know here...
>>281954690Lack of tact there Kogoro... at least you landed on your feet>>281954787Literally me>>281955036>>281955062Being a stronk woman must be a perfect alibi in Conanverse
>>281955127>murder, schmurder!Interesting localization
>>281956439>>281956453[Conan will remember this]
>>281955383Reliable Megure!
>>281956082Conan cracking cases with the power of cocaine just like Holmes
>>281954648IMMERSION THANK YOU OP
>>281954706>KuroiwaEvery time.
>>281956873I personally like that kinda stuff.
>>281955230>The murderYou mean the murderer, or is there a murder of crows involved in this?
>>281956365Since Keiji's name most likely also has the 実 character the Japanese had a few more hints to go on.
>>281954549Oh shit, the tranny case Kino shit
>>281955290hmm well this was when I suspected Narumi with the "two years ago" timing with the past mayor's death and I knew the "reverse" audio someone altered an alibi but didn't understand the blank side=30m but w/e. the drugs and tuning did confuse me as red herrings plus why send the note to richard to being with but it was pretty obvious "the group" had killed Aso 12 years ago - still didn't make the jump to Narumi=Seiji or why bother with the encoded messages but close enough i'm taking a half W.
>The murderer has to be a man because women aren't that strong!Meanwhile the female lead...
>>281957549Yeah, but isn't she fighting another woman? It evens out.
>>281956381It's impressive how Gosho can make the same face look subtly more masculine despite the cartoonish style.
>>281957586That's a man pretending to be a woman
>>281956479One of the few times the murderer got away with it.I mean he died, but that was probably always a part of the plan.
>>281956439The guy was hiding some serious muscle under those puff sleeves. He threw Conan through the window like it was nothing.Anyways, RIP to the murderer who had the biggest impact on Shinichi.
>>281955023Shinichi probably would've realized those shoulders belonged to a male.
>>281955086What's going on with that fourth line? Doesn't look like moonlight sonata to me.
>>281956128Here's the trick
The remake of this case is the 1000th episode of the anime.Literally soul vs soulless.
>>281958276They tried to pull the junji ito specific panels to look exact but fell completely short
>>281957922>the murderer who had the biggest impact on ShinichiDid he make young Jimmy question his sexuality?
>>281958276The newer one feels so angular in comparsion
>>281957922Not even Akemi, was that her name, I forget?
>>281956479Damn that's a sad case. Facing justice (or getting away with it) would have been good options...
>>281957505Yeah that case has tons of things going on at the same time. I think the hardest part is that you have to kind of ignore the first and third murder since they're not the ones that you can really investigate
>>281958276They really didn't have as much fun with shot composition. Colors are also less interesting. I wouldn't call it trash by the looks of it but the downgrade is pretty clear
>>281955263anon called it >>281958081
>>281955760Conan/Shinichi/Jimmy doesn't know something as simple as musical notation? Some Sherlock
>>281955859Old guy's kinda sharp for all his doofus-ness
>>281956082THREE WHOLE MARIJUANAS!
>>281958011Not nice to post spoilers in a reply like that so early on, anon
One more shitty case and then we finally get to the Night Baron case which is one of the best in the whole series
>>281959743It's so fucking good. Can't wait for it. Love this kind of setup
>>281959743We will have to endure it
Why do people like this case so much? I think it's just average. Is it because this is the only murderer who actually got away with his crime?
What do you think will happen to Haibara/Miyano in the end? >Dying>Stay as Haibara>Turning back to Miyano>Go to jail>Go to US/UKetc.
>>281954549Damn, already?Til this day it is still one of my favorite cases of all time. Easy top 5.
>>281954931LOL, the renaming fucks up that panel.
>>281954648
>>281954648The Moonlight Sonata is not a song.
>>281959250He's horribly tone deaf, so they probably banned him from music class for the sake of the other students.
>>281961261She will turn back into Shiho and become the new professor for Shinichi, while Agasa marries the fashion designer and goes on a trip around the world.
>>281958533Akemi Miyano? Haibara's sister?Yeah, I think she is only mentioned when Ai and Akai are involved.This one got what he wanted in the end. Shinichi was defeated.
>>281958276That's a great way to compare old with new anime. The modern lighting really washes things away.
>>281958276Bruh.New one fucked up the old mayor face. That was a plot point. How could they be so sleazy.
>>281958620Death was his punishment in a way.This is something quite recurent in DC but I think this is the case that did it the best.
>>281959193This case is older than many people here.
>>281961215Not only got away but committed everything right under Conan's nose. It's one of the few ones that also come back to haunt Conan in the future. Although it's not BO related, it's a character growth case.The anime made the ep better as the sonata is depressive and it gives quite the atmosphere to it's conclusion. It's one of the few cases I would recommend one checking the anime.
>>281961261I think this >>281962882 is a a great possibility.But I think she staying as Ai would be more a manga/anime take.If I remember it right, it's mentioned some times how she really didn't have a life due to the BO, so having a second chance in having a good life would be acceptable.Contrary to Shinichi, she really has no one around her she cares for that knew her as an adult. No one misses her.
>>281963413She has three cousins and an aunt that was also shrunk, but since they never met before I gather it would be fine either way with them.
>>281955339THE KILLER WAS AN AYYYYYYYY
>>281956194I figured it out
>>281953049Cool Pokemon
>>281956479To be completely fair to the guy who spoiled it, it's absurdly obvious who did it from the start in this one. The culprit practically brags about it.
>>281958276wasn't there a hd release of the old episodes already? Why did they reanimate it again?
>>281961215Yeah, it's kind of a shitty case. Gosho plays way too fast and loose with the rules of detective fiction sometimes and this is a prime example. I guess it's better in Japanese, though. Still, this sort of thing happens way too often:>aha! the killer must wear glasses!>conan discovers pieces of a machine as part of the crime, one piece in each chapter. What could they be for?>at the start of the last chapter, he finds the lens and realizes it's a laser eye surgery machine>the killer must have performed laser eye surgery on themselves in order to remove suspicion!>it was you, non-glasses-wearing man! (note: our hint of this was that they were taking antibiotics for a cold in their first appearance - they were actually post-surgery medication!)I'm reminded of the time the killer was left-handed earlier. It just seems cheap to me.
>>281962882>Agasa marries the fashion designer and goes on a trip around the worldKek no, she's getting raw-dogged by the white man's BWC while Agasa's impotently create useless inventions while crying about his diabetic-induced ED.
>>281964584In detective fiction, this is called a red herring.
>>281964633>believing Gosho's nonsense and skewed notion about childhood crushes
>>281964675She ain't helping her step-dad's friend cheat on his wife, that's bad manners for someone connected to main cast.Even Kogoro is all words and no action, so that Gosho can one day bring him back together with Eri.
>>281964675>believing Gosho's nonsense and skewed notion about childhood crushesI mean, he's the one writing the story, so
>>281954885>Dr Narumi, please examine the bodythat seems extremely shortsighted
>>281954569Who the FUCK are you talking to!?!
>>281965152He is talking to you, anon.
>>281955810wait, how come the old policeman isn't a suspect, he's acting pretty suspicious
>>281963580I wonder how they'll meet Also how this will tie back to Furuya knowing Miyano family pre-BO somehow Feel like it's something relevant but might be red herringI don't trust Aoyama
>>281961261>>281963413She likely won't stay as Haibara because it's hinted that APTX victims don't grow up
>>281963580>She has three cousins Akemi romance thing is actually incest gave me a good laugh
>>281965213Rei knew Miyano family cause little Akemi saw him fighting other kids and brought him to her mom, who was working as regular doctor at the time. Though he is half-english, yet we know nothing of his family. I just hope it's not mom is a third sister or something.
>>281956365these fucking policemen, I swear to god
>>281956414>He summoned you here? why?>who knows what that dirty old man had in mindok I didn't remember that part
>>281965289It was obvious the cousin thing was a late idea, considering how everyone just ignores the incest implication. Could have just said they knew they were cousins and faked the relationship so not to blow his cover.Or maybe Gosho likes it, since there was that suggestive scene in the car with Ai and Akai/Okiya.
>>281956439>>281956453>>281956479fucking love this ending. I think I was 7 when I first watched this two-parter, cried for ages afterwards
>>281965316Didn't he become police to find Elena? I think it's in the side story. Feel like something that can be used later. Hope it goes somewhere because I see no point in adding this shit if he's not going to do anything within >I just hope it's not mom is a third sister or something.I swear to God if he does this again. I'm fine with 'Haibara being Akai cousin' thing cause it makes Akemi's life even more tragic but it's boring if he keeps doing this shit
>>281965386>Ai and Akai/OkiyaBefore the cousin revealed I legit thought he might go that route. I feel he tries to find a landing for characters' romance subplots. So, I sorta feel he'll try to find one for Haibara but I'm somewhat skeptical of it being Akai now that they're related. Don't think the editorial will allow that.
>>281965289>>281965386>Cousins fucking>Incest>In JapanThey consider it keeping the bloodline poor and clear like sake
>>281964675Dude's love for childhood crushes is beautiful.
>>281965557Did Gin and Sherry fuck?
>>281965595Heavily implied.
>>281965426Yes, finding Elena was his reason to join the academy, then with time he also added revenge for his fallen comrades. He keeps getting reasons, but no resolutions, probably cause of his popularity, so they keep him as long as possible.
>>281965626>but no resolutionspretty much all shit related to BO and the Miyanos. And he keeps adding shit in
All he needed was detective dick up his ass and the case wouldn't have happened
>>281965745>Please solve the case quickly... I don't want to do another autopsy:(
>>281965745>>281965786Shinichi... I know he made you feel weird things but he was a psycho murderer.
>>281965224That's even better
>>281965316>>281963580>>281965289Has Haibara known any of these yet?
>>281964584why are you like this
>>281925288>Stealing creditI thought better of you, Jimmy.
>>281925519No wonder we saw who did it beforehand. This guy is way too obvious.
>>281966168No, her parents died when she was still a little kid, and BO has kept a tight leash on her, so most of what she knows came from her mother's tapes and what little her sister could share, but there was never any mention of cousins. So far Akai hasn't told her, even though he should know.
>>281963413They can make a spin-off about her reintegrate into society after turning back to Miyano Shiho just to milk it even longer. She's popular and you can easily add popular characters in the spin-off.
>>281966336>So far Akai hasn't told her, even though he should knowSo we can keep the plot at a snail paceEither Gosho or I will die before this is over
>>281954690Look at that cranium.
>>281965745>effortlessly passes to everyone with just his hair in a ponytailJaps are something else
>>281965745They really didn't have to make this female (male) look that cute.
>>281954931Damn island hicks. Not recognizing greatness when it's in front of them.
>>281966518Having him be a gigahon troon would have been funny but not as impactful in the end
>>281955339I know it was aliens!
>>281962882>parents are dead>big sister is dead>makes a drug that kill people>has no live outside making the fuckin drug>tried to use that drug to kys but failed>lost all the friends she made as Haibara after going back to the original form>heartbroken because the boy she likes will never like her back >and yet stuck in this weird relationship with him as his 'partner' helping him with stuff while watching him living happily ever after with his childhood girlfriendAt least she doesn't die a virgin kek
>>281966599First the cows, now this.. They can't keep getting away with it!
>>281955383Geniuses need their beauty sleep after all.
>>281966603She got over a lot of that when she realized she can be helpful as scientist and that Higo is hot.
>>281966682I forgot to mention that Higo will marry Yoko kek
>>281966714Not if Kogoro can help it.
>>281964675>Akemi would have been Rei or/and Hirofumi childhood friends/crush >end up with one of them >happy ending instead of unknowingly dating her own cousin and die
>>281966846Rei is going to end up alone anyway, unless Gosho gets over his fear of fans and brings him together with Azusa, as he said he would like.
>>281955650Funny how he can say this when two cases ago we got the guy carving his killer's name on a wardrobe.
>>281966970Shh the brat is just playing detective, let him have his fun while Kogoro figures out the real truth
>>281966874Amazed me that he can introduce a popular new character years into the series
>>281966874>as he said he would likeHe said that?yeah he should fear the yumejos and fujos
>>281955859>Murasawa

>>281931679why is there Sinichi here and why are they wearing an earbud already???and who is this Holmes looking schmuck?sorry it's been years since I read conan
>>281967199Kaito kid is disguised as Shinichi here. The other guy is Hakuba. He is originally from the Kaito kid manga and he is a high school detective that is frequently trying to catch Kaito. He practically lives in England though so he isn't typically around when Kaito is stealing.
Ol' Jimbo was less conspicuous during this case. Guess he gave up on just giving hints and decided to become more active, suspicions be damned.

>>281966723They are an interesting combo
>>281955962>>281955542>>281954847you know, how the fuck did I read this back in third grade without having a nightmare?is it because it's a detective story and not horror?
>>281967579Maybe cause you weren't a pussy back then
>>281954690A WOMAN doctor? Now i have seen everything>>281956365I should have know
>>281957373>>281958011Not cool, keep spoilers hidden
>>281956365>these kanji characters can be pronounced as two not even remotely similar sounding namesJapanese is weird
>>281968943I once read a thread on it, and it's because kanji originates from chinese pictograms applied to japanese language, so there is a chinese reading and japanese one, and which one you use depends on the combination of kanji used in the word. My brain couldn't comprehend further than that.

Glad I'm not too late to catch up with this, things have been looking exciting in the latest chapters.
>>281957922>The guy was hiding some serious muscle under those puff sleeves. He threw Conan through the window like it was nothingSeiji must have considered the boy very trustworthy. Get it?
Soon
>>281971197How much will it break him to realize he was a puppet all this time? And that his puppeteer will marry his daughter one day?
>>281972248Conan will have another suicide he failed to stop on his conscience
>>281971197>figured out conan's identity>lives rent-free inside gin's headMake it real Gosho. It will be funny.
>>281954847I've heard of a killer tune but this is ridiculous!
>>281972600This panel is edited?
>>281976328No.
>>281976328It's the final scene of the case going from chapter 951 to 953, where Kogoro "solves" murder of a man that previous to that announced he would solve an old BO murder case.
