The story deepens the ongoing conflict with the shadowy Black Organization, blending murder mystery with the series' larger conspiracy arc. Published by Viz Media in its English-language edition, this is the 42nd volume of the Case Closed manga series.
In "The Hidden Truth," the mystery deepens as Richard's bumbling attempts to solve the murder clash with Jimmy's independent investigation, while Jodie's sudden departure with Anita—under the guise of a medical emergency—adds a troubling new layer to the case. Written by Gosho Aoyama and Tetsuichiro Miyaki, with art and inks by Aoyama, this 2012 installment delivers another sharp, suspenseful chapter in the Case Closed series, with cover art by Gosho Aoyama and Andrea Rice.
In "The Hidden Truth," Conan, using Dr. Agasa as his stand-in, unravels a murder mystery tied to a hidden studio and a secret past. The discovery of a hidden bag of audio tapes in the restroom by Akemi, Anita's sister, adds a new layer to the case—just as the truth begins to surface.
In "Good-bye, Jodie," Rachel and Serena find themselves drawn into a sudden mystery at a convenience store just as they're saying farewell to their friend Miss Santemillion, who’s preparing to leave Japan—only to witness a shocking accusation that throws their goodbyes into unexpected turmoil.
In "Rachel's Deduction," Rachel takes a bold step beyond her usual role, stepping into the spotlight as she attempts to solve a series of store thefts with newfound determination—encouraged by Jodie’s belief in her. Meanwhile, Shiho’s quiet investigation into her mother’s old audio tapes uncovers a clue that unsettles her more than she expected.
Conan receives a chilling Halloween invitation from Vermouth—her identity a masked threat, her intent unclear. As the night unfolds, the line between a deadly trap and a twisted game blurs, and Conan must unravel the truth before the full moon sets the final scene.
In "The Invisible Man Cometh," Richard's bumbling attempts to solve a murder take a backseat as "Jimmy" quietly pursues clues in his own way. Meanwhile, Jodie takes Anita out under the guise of a hospital visit, leaving the mystery—and the tension—hanging in the air.
In "Jimmy Kudo on the Scene?", Jo finds herself caught in a mystery aboard a party ship when her car is halted by a man impersonating Dr. Araide. With the case unfolding under the spotlight, a mysterious figure known only as "Jimmy" steps in to solve the murder—unaware that a shadowy observer from the underworld is watching from the crowd.
In "Rotten Apple," Harley makes a desperate move to protect Jimmy, exposing himself to divert the Black Organization’s attention. As Jodie and Shuichi confront Sharon, she flees—taking Conan with her into the unknown.
In "The Mark in the Rain," a chance meeting on a rainy street leaves Amy with a chilling memory and an unexplained number five pressed into her palm—her only clue to a serial slasher now on the loose. With no clear trail and the city on edge, the mystery deepens as the number becomes both a warning and a puzzle.
