👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY

A standalone filler case that drops Kogoro, Ran, and Conan into a seaside hot springs getaway — until someone ends up dead. This is classic Conan comfort-food mystery: serene spa scenery undercut by mounting suspicion, a closed circle of guests with motives to uncover, and the familiar rhythm of Conan quietly steering the investigation while Kogoro takes the credit. The pacing is methodical, giving the deduction room to breathe rather than rushing toward a reveal. Expect atmospheric tension drawn from the contrast between tranquil outdoor baths and the grim reality of murder. Character interactions stay light and playful in the early stretch before the tone sharpens. If you enjoy the series' self-contained whodunits with a scenic backdrop and satisfying logic chain, this episode delivers exactly that without requiring any broader plot context.

🔥 KEY MOMENTS

⚠️ Spoiler Alert!

Boulder and a Body

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan's seaside onsen getaway turns grim when a massive crash leads them to Hideaki Umezu's corpse crushed beneath a fallen boulder. Police are quick to write it off as a natural rockslide.

Scratch Marks Tell the Truth

Conan spots deliberate scratch marks on the rock face, proving the boulder didn't fall on its own. This single observation flips the case from accident to premeditated murder.

Suspects Under the Microscope

Umezu's secretary, his two daughters, and the onsen manager each come under suspicion. Questioning reveals that every one of them had motive tied to Umezu's cutthroat mortgage business and personal betrayals.

The Tidal Trick

Conan pieces together an elaborate alibi scheme involving the local tidal movements and a buoy system near the crime scene. The killer used the ocean's own rhythm to trigger the boulder drop while establishing a seemingly airtight alibi elsewhere.

The Method Exposed

Conan reveals the full murder mechanism to the group, demonstrating how the perpetrator rigged the boulder to fall using the tide and buoy as a delayed trigger. Confronted with the evidence, the killer's composure finally cracks.

📍 ARC CONTEXT

This filler episode lands between 'The Partner is Santa-san' and 'Inspector Shiratori, Memories of the Cherry Blossom,' marking a tonal shift from holiday lightheartedness into a more conventional murder mystery. It requires no knowledge of ongoing plot threads and doesn't advance the Conan mythology. The episode maintains the series' long-running pattern of standalone cases serving as breathers between character-driven or Black Organization arcs.
