Case Closed #41

In "Dueling Mothers?!", Vivian Kudo arrives to take over her husband Booker’s investigation, sparking an unexpected rivalry with Eva—her long-ago high school beauty pageant rival—twenty years after their last clash. With past tensions flaring and the case heating up, the two women must navigate both a mystery and a history they’d rather forget.

In "The Suspicious Gunshots," Eva and Vivian join forces with the police to unravel the mystery of a murder at a secluded manor, while Conan works in secret to uncover the truth. A single phone call from Booker soon forces them all to reconsider everything they thought they knew.

In "The Night Baroness!", Conan uses Vivian as his stand-in to unravel a mystery tied to a long-ago high school beauty pageant. When Eva and Vivian confront Richard, the past comes rushing back—revealing secrets buried beneath smiles and stage lights.

In "Darkness Is a Door to Death," Vivian leads Conan and the Junior Detective League to a private screening of the new Samurai Kid movie—only for the evening to take a chilling turn when a lab supervisor is found dead before the film begins. With the theater sealed and suspicion rising, the young detectives must untangle a mystery hidden in plain sight.

In "The Net Closes," Conan, Anita, and Dr. Agasa follow a trail of surveillance to a hotel hosting a Porsche enthusiasts' convention, where a tense meeting with Jodie Santemillion and a sudden murder in the parking garage throw their investigation into high gear. The story unfolds with sharp tension and careful clues, as the trio pieces together a mystery that’s far more tangled than it first appears.

In "Present Danger," Conan races to solve a mystery while under pressure to explain his deductions to the police, all as Rachel and Jodie Santemillion try to stay one step ahead of a shadowy figure tracking them. With Dr. Agasa working to quietly get a feverish Anita past a police cordon, the tension builds in a story where every move could be the wrong one.

In "No Escape," Conan uses Serena as a stand-in to unravel a murder, but when Dr. Agasa is rushed to the hospital with Anita, the sudden emergency exposes her identity and whereabouts to Jodie, Shuichi, and Sharon Vineyard—setting off a chain of consequences that no one saw coming.

In "The Mystery Left in a Locked Room," Conan and Anita team up to uncover a secret hidden in the studio bathroom, just as the police hunt for the poison that killed the studio head. With time running short and the clues locked away, the real mystery may not be who committed the crime—but what someone tried to hide before they vanished.
