👀 SPOILER-FREE SUMMARY

A standalone filler episode that leans heavily into Conan's comedy roots. Kogoro Mouri takes center stage as a guest on a live radio advice show, and the setup is tailor-made to exploit his inflated ego and bumbling confidence. Expect a lighter, more character-driven outing where the humor comes from Kogoro's interactions with callers and radio staff, while Conan quietly observes from the sidelines. The pacing is deliberately steady, building a mystery through the radio format itself — questions from listeners gradually reveal something more sinister beneath the surface. This is a "Challenge Arc" episode, meaning the case is presented here for the audience to piece together before the solution drops next time. A fun, low-stakes entry that rewards fans who enjoy Kogoro at his most entertainingly incompetent.

🔥 KEY MOMENTS

⚠️ Spoiler Alert!

Kogoro Goes Live

Kogoro Mouri takes the mic as a guest on a radio advice show, fielding a listener's grievance about a nightmare neighbor upstairs. His on-air guidance inadvertently sets the stage for a deadly confrontation.

Kumi's Explosive Confrontation

Convinced that her personal life was mocked on the broadcast, Kumi Kijima storms downstairs to confront Towako Manda face-to-face. Their argument turns vicious and public, with multiple residents witnessing the fallout.

Towako Found Dead

The next morning, Towako Manda is discovered lifeless in her apartment. The scene immediately shifts from neighbor dispute to full-blown homicide investigation.

Kumi Under Suspicion

Given the previous night's blowout and multiple witnesses, police zero in on Kumi as their prime suspect. The circumstantial evidence stacks up fast, but the case feels almost too clean.

The Estranged Husband Surfaces

Digging into Towako's background reveals a fractured marriage to Teruomi Manda, opening an entirely new line of inquiry. His connection to the victim introduces motive and mystery that complicates the seemingly straightforward case.

📍 ARC CONTEXT

This episode follows 'The Man Crushed by a Dinosaur' and kicks off a two-part radio show case, serving as the Challenge Arc that sets up the clues and mystery. The subsequent episode delivers the Solution Arc, so this is the setup half — skip it and the payoff won't land. As a filler episode, it has no bearing on Conan's overarching narrative threads but offers a self-contained detective puzzle.
