The title refers to a murder where the victim's body is arranged in a specific pose, leading Conan and his allies through a puzzle of alibis and forensic details. Published by Viz Media as part of their 2019 re-release, this edition continues the series' trademark blend of detective logic and suspenseful storytelling.
In "The Client from the Deep," Jimmy and the Junior Detective League find themselves at a remote hot springs resort sharing the retreat with a film crew shooting a sequel to a beloved detective series. When the notoriously difficult screenwriter takes a fatal fall in the baths, the teens must untangle the mystery behind the seemingly accidental death—before the real culprit slips away. Written by Gosho Aoyama and Tetsuichiro Miyaki, with art and inks by Gosho Aoyama, and lettered by Freeman Wong, this case brings the usual sharp wit and clever clues to a steamy, suspenseful setting. The cover, also by Gosho Aoyama, captures the tension with a striking, moody scene from the bathhouse.
In "The Client from the Deep," Richard is drawn into a baffling mystery when a man claims to have been wrongfully accused of murder—only to insist the real culprit was a Kappa, a mythical Japanese amphibian. The case blurs the line between legend and crime, leaving Richard to untangle a decades-old enigma with a twist no one could have predicted.
When Jimmy and the Junior Detective League join a hot springs retreat with a film crew shooting a sequel to a beloved detective series, the relaxed getaway turns tense after the brash screenwriter tumbles to his death in the baths. With the mystery unfolding under steamy skies and suspicious alibis, Jimmy must untangle the truth before the case is buried in the mist.
In "Happy White Day," Conan uses Richard as a stand-in to unravel a murder mystery, navigating clues with his signature precision. Later, he notices Jimmy’s quiet omission of a significant romantic occasion for Rachel, hinting at deeper emotional currents beneath the case.
In "Air on the G String," Conan and the Junior Detective League take refuge in a secluded woodland house during a storm, only to grow uneasy as strange sounds and hidden clues suggest the place is home to a dangerous criminal and a trapped child. Written by the team behind Case Closed, this tense 16-page mystery unfolds with quiet dread, turning a shelter from the rain into a labyrinth of secrets.
