👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY

A standalone filler episode that puts the Detective Boys front and center for a fun, low-stakes adventure. Conan, Ai, Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko head to an abandoned hospital to film their own ghost video, and the tone leans heavily into the playful camaraderie that makes these character-focused outings enjoyable. Expect the classic Detective Boys formula: lighthearted banter giving way to genuinely suspenseful moments as the group navigates eerie corridors and spooky rumors. The pacing is relaxed, letting the kids' personalities bounce off each other without rushing toward a resolution. Professor Agasa makes an appearance to round out the supporting cast. There's no connection to the larger narrative threads of the series, so this one lives or dies on whether you enjoy the younger cast's group dynamic and self-contained mystery-lite scenarios.

🔥 KEY MOMENTS

⚠️ Spoiler Alert!

Ghost Hunters Assemble

The Detective Boys get hooked on a viral video from an online ghost-hunting duo and decide to film their own test of courage at an abandoned hospital rumored to house three supernatural entities.

The Wheelchair Mummy Debunked

The group encounters the dreaded mummy in a wheelchair — only for Conan and Ai to quickly determine it's nothing more than a deteriorating doll left behind in the derelict building.

Haibara Connects the Dots

Conan and Ai find stacks of newspapers from roughly six months prior, linking the supposedly abandoned hospital to a past crime and suggesting someone has been using the building recently.

They're Not Alone

What started as a kids' ghost video spirals into genuine danger when the Detective Boys realize another presence is lurking inside the hospital — and it's very much alive. A tense confrontation unfolds as the fun evaporates.

📍 ARC CONTEXT

This episode lands between the two-part 'Intrigue at Morikawa Mansion' case and the upcoming 'The Spark That Fell on the Ranch' arc, serving as a breather between more plot-intensive storylines. As a confirmed filler, it doesn't advance any overarching narrative threads involving the Black Organization or recurring case arcs. It functions as a palate cleanser, shifting focus from adult-centric mysteries back to the Detective Boys before the series ramps up again.
