☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis volume of Case Closed collects the next installment of the long-running manga series, featuring the young detective Conan Edogawa as he tackles a new mystery with a Dracula-themed twist. Written and illustrated by Gosho Aoyama, the story continues Conan's quest to solve crimes while hiding his true identity from those around him.
In "Mimicry," Inspector Otaki takes Richard and Harley on a chilling case involving a reclusive millionaire convinced he’s a vampire—and possibly tied to the ritual murder of a housekeeper. Written by Gosho Aoyama and Tetsuichiro Miyaki, with art and inks by Aoyama, this Case Closed issue blends eerie atmosphere with classic mystery, all rendered in the series’ signature sharp detail. The cover, also by Aoyama, captures the unsettling tone with a striking, moody portrait.
In "Mimicry," the mystery of the jeweled turtle’s vanishing from its sealed tank sends ripples through the crowd, leaving the police scrambling to identify the thief—especially when they suspect Kaito Kid is among them, hidden in plain sight through perfect disguise.
In "Molting," Conan enlists Serena as a decoy to unmask the thief behind the stolen jeweled turtle, turning the tables on a cunning criminal who thought they’d vanished into the shadows. When the Kaito Kid attempts a dramatic impersonation, they make a critical misstep—revealing their true identity in a moment of overconfidence.
In "The Unlocked Locked-Room Murder" from Case Closed #79, a baffling double death unfolds when a supposed suicide at a secluded estate takes a darker turn—only for a second, identical tragedy to occur before the investigators’ eyes. With the room sealed from the inside and no signs of forced entry, Conan and Richard must unravel the impossible as Inspector Otaki and Harley race to uncover the truth behind the locked-room mystery.
In "The Other Half" from Case Closed #79, Conan and Harley follow a trail of subtle clues to unravel a second apparent suicide—this one carefully staged to mimic the first. As they piece together the discrepancies, the line between accident and murder grows thinner, and the truth begins to surface in unexpected ways.
In "The House of the Vampire," Inspector Otaki enlists Richard and Harley to investigate a reclusive millionaire whose chilling claim of being a vampire may be more than just a delusion—especially after the mysterious ritual murder of his housekeeper. As the trio delves into the manor’s dark secrets, the line between myth and madness begins to blur.
In "Count Dracula," Conan and Harley unravel a chilling mystery when a wealthy man is found dead with a stake through his heart—only for the body to vanish and later appear as a spectral figure in a photograph. The story unfolds with eerie precision, blending classic detective work with a touch of the supernatural.
