The collection includes cases involving a locked-room murder at a ski resort and a deadly game of hide-and-seek, with Conan using his sharp intellect to uncover the truth while hiding his true identity from those around him.
In "Save the Date!", the always-diplomatic Sato and the quietly nervous Takagi take a secret trip to a water park, hoping to keep their budding romance out of the office gossip mill—until Conan and the Junior Detective League show up, and the entire precinct suddenly turns into a covert surveillance operation. When Takagi accidentally grabs the wrong backpack, a shocking discovery sends ripples through the case, and the stakes just got a whole lot higher. Written by Gosho Aoyama and Tetsuichiro Miyaki, with art by Gosho Aoyama and inks by both Aoyama and Andrea Rice, this issue features a cover by Gosho Aoyama and Andrea Rice.
In "Save the Date!," Sato and Takagi sneak off on a secret date to a water park, hoping to keep their budding romance out of the precinct’s gossip mill—until Conan and the Junior Detective League show up, and the entire detective squad, under Inspector Santos’ orders, begins covertly monitoring their every move. When Takagi accidentally grabs the wrong backpack, the outing takes a sudden, dangerous turn.
In "A Misguided Manhunt," Sato and Takagi team up with Conan to track down cocaine smugglers through the park, but their mission takes a chaotic turn when Santos and the detective squad misinterpret their actions—believing the pair is fleeing to elope—and launch a full-scale pursuit to stop them.
In "Tennis Court Memories," Conan and the Moores take refuge with a tennis pro they'd previously met, only to find themselves in the middle of a chilling mystery when the man's father is discovered dead in the home’s tennis court pavilion—hanging from the ceiling by a noose. The story unfolds with quiet tension, blending the intimacy of a shared evening with the sudden weight of a crime that no one saw coming.
In "The Suspicious Curry," Conan Edogawa finds something off about a seemingly straightforward suicide case involving a man found hanging in his kitchen. Though Richard and the police quickly rule it a suicide, Conan’s sharp eye picks up subtle inconsistencies that hint at a far more complicated truth.
In "Speechless," Conan finds himself at a critical juncture—his deductions have uncovered the truth behind a murder, but a sudden case of laryngitis leaves him unable to speak through his voice modulator. With no way to relay his findings, he must navigate the case without his usual advantage, relying on subtle clues and the quiet power of observation.
In "Doc Agasa's First Love," the Junior Detective League takes on a personal mystery when they learn of the girl Dr. Agasa once had a crush on—and set out to find her after years of separation. With only a faint memory and a few clues, the team dives into a nostalgic investigation that brings the past vividly to life.
When Richard squanders his case advance and fails to solve the mystery, Rachel calls her mother, Eva, for help—only for Eva to take matters into her own hands and tackle the case herself.
