👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY

A tense, methodical setup episode that pairs Heiji Hattori and Conan Edogawa against an arsonist with a flair for the theatrical. Red horse figurines left at crime scenes across multiple precincts signal a pattern — and a countdown. The episode leans heavily into procedural detective work, with Heiji initially drawn in through a separate surveillance request that quickly entangles with the larger arson investigation. Expect a slower, more deliberate pace than typical Conan fare; this is world-building for a multi-episode arc, not a quick-solve case. The atmosphere runs dark and urgent, punctuated by the constant threat of the next fire. Fans of Heiji-Conan team-ups get strong material here, and the escalating stakes give the investigation real weight. This is the fuse being lit.

🔥 KEY MOMENTS

⚠️ Spoiler Alert!

The Red Horse Calling Card

Conan finds a red horse figurine planted at the latest arson scene, confirming a deliberate pattern connecting the fires. The figurine becomes the thread that ties the seemingly unrelated attacks together.

A Survivor Speaks

The team tracks down a survivor of one of the arsons who reveals a critical link between all the victims — they share a connection to a single past event. This testimony reframes the entire case from random arson to targeted revenge.

The Victims' Shared Sin

Conan pieces together that the victims were all involved in a past incident that was buried and never brought to justice. The red horse figurine is a symbol tied directly to that event, serving as the arsonist's signature of retribution.

Cornering the Culprit

A tense confrontation unfolds as Conan and the team close in on the arsonist before they can strike again. The culprit is cornered, leading to a dramatic revelation about their identity and motive rooted in personal loss.

📍 ARC CONTEXT

This episode kicks off the 'Red Horse Among the Flames' arc, establishing the arson pattern and core mystery that will drive the following episodes. It arrives on the heels of the 'Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation!' episodes, keeping Heiji front and center and deepening his partnership with Conan. As the first chapter of a multi-part case, it prioritizes setup and atmosphere, laying the groundwork for the investigative payoffs ahead.
