👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY

A filler episode that trades Conan's usual high-stakes tension for a breezy field trip atmosphere. The Detective Boys and Dr. Agasa head to Okayama Prefecture, where the group's infectious curiosity drives a treasure hunt rooted in local Momotaro folklore. The first half leans heavily into lighthearted exploration and scenic travelogue energy, letting the kids' camaraderie and playful dynamics carry the runtime. Expect steady pacing that prioritizes character interactions and cultural sightseeing over immediate danger. That said, the episode earns its mystery credentials by gradually layering in subtle suspense — small details and unanswered questions that shift the mood as the runtime winds down. As a Part 1 of two, this is pure setup: establishing the location, the cast's dynamic, and the initial puzzle pieces without delivering any resolution yet.

🔥 KEY MOMENTS

⚠️ Spoiler Alert!

Okayama Museum Arrival

Conan, the Detective Boys, and Dr. Agasa kick off their trip to Okayama Prefecture, visiting a local museum steeped in Momotaro folklore that sets the thematic backdrop for everything to come.

Wedding Friends Encounter

The group crosses paths with a tight-knit circle of childhood friends gathered to celebrate an upcoming marriage. Their nostalgic dynamic and underlying tensions hint that not everything in this reunion is as cheerful as it seems.

The Floating Code

A mysterious container drifts down the river carrying a cryptic coded message. The discovery immediately hooks both Conan and the Detective Boys, turning a casual sightseeing trip into something far more serious.

Conan Cracks the Cipher

Conan deciphers the coded note, revealing it to be a set of treasure hunt clues tied to local Momotaro landmarks. The trail connects directly to the childhood friends' shared past, weaving the two storylines together.

Ayumi's Grim Discovery

The adventure turns deadly when Ayumi stumbles upon a body near one of the treasure hunt locations. What started as a playful mystery locks into a full-blown murder case, and Conan's real work begins.

📍 ARC CONTEXT

This episode follows the tense, time-sensitive thriller of 'Time Limit at 3 o'clock,' making the shift to a relaxed Detective Boys outing feel intentionally decompressive. As a filler two-parter, it sits outside the main narrative but kicks off the 'Momotaro Mystery Solving Tour' mini-arc, with all setup and initial clues landing here before the payoff arrives in Part 2 (Episode 378).
