👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY

A classic Detective Boys outing that leans harder into genuine suspense than the usual kid-detective fare. Conan, Haibara, and the rest of the group investigate the disappearance of a classmate who happens to look remarkably like Ai Haibara herself — a detail that immediately raises the stakes and adds an undercurrent of tension beneath the lighthearted teamwork. The pacing is deliberately measured for a two-part setup, spending time on clue-gathering and character interactions rather than rushing toward answers. Expect the trademark Conan blend of childhood camaraderie and escalating mystery, but with a sharper edge than a standard standalone case. The Haibara resemblance isn't played as a throwaway gag — it's positioned as something potentially significant. Part one ends with enough unanswered questions to make the conclusion feel essential.

Part 1 establishes the case and its unsettling details, setting up the resolution in the following episode.
