File 681 (Spoiler)

[H...Haibara]

I guess those two really were the two police officers. To whomever suspected that, congratulations, lol.

Looks like this is just another run of the mill Conan case, eh?

[Sere]

don't think so. That would be too much effort for an easy case. I hope something great is coming up.

So, Haibara and the prof. got into a MEN's bathroom, right?
I thought it was unisex bathroom

Sad news: no DC for the next 2 weeks

Ai is at the physical age where she can still just about get away with that.  Not as funny as the case where she had to explain to Megure that she went in with Conan.

This is another lead-in case, with the minor plot addition of seeing Ai being generally paranoid.  Even though this case turned out to look suspicious enough to get Conan worried, it's clear that she's not going to listen to him over the whole Okiya situation.

I do wonder why they went to Kogoro rather than Hattori if they already suspect Conan is the brains of the group.  If there is a reason, either Hattori shows up in the next case or Kansuke really is Bourbon.

The solution to this case was painfully obvious. I talked about it in my deductions.

My deduction was off about the bullet marks in the car and the blood stain on the seats. I had thought about them being in a shoot out, but thought there would be more marks on the outside of the car for that to of happened.
There was no way I could of known about the mix up in terminology over the sayings for 'half kill'. I should of guessed it would just be a mix up in accents. I'm just recently studying Japanese and I'm only on formal terms. There is no way I would of known about any other forms of the dialect. I had suspicions about that, but no evidence to back it up.

I even knew exactly which police. Funny enough I even deduced that Uehara Yui would go back to using her original name. I was given a little grief over my use of the name Uehara by another member on the forums.

The two week break pretty much sucks. Just as a huge case on on the horizon. It's nearly over though. I'm really itching for this one. These two are no slouches when it comes to deductions. If this is a case that these two can't solve. I'm just dying to see it. THIS sounds like a larger then average case coming. Not sure why they didn't call before making the trip, but then we wouldn't get this moment of Haibara's paranoia and a hint as to who Okiya is or isn't.
Just look at Conan's reaction to Haibara's suspicions of these two. He was rushing out in a flash based on very little. Yet when it comes to her feelings about Okiya he is so dismissive. That almost assures that Conan knows exactly who Okiya truly is.

OMG, did the obviousness hurt you? Do you need some Ibuprofen? Morphine, perhaps? If you were given a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the most painful and 1 being the least, can you rate how painful the obviousness of the case was?

No need to be all smug about the correctness of your deductions, dude. Remember that Conan is targeted for young boys. No need to post in the forum as if you just solved the mystery of life. Nobody likes a know-it-all.

Oh, and so that I don't stray off topic, I'm really excited about this case. Finally, we've got new and interesting characters. Since the whole Metropolitan Police Love Story is basically reconciled, maybe we're gonna have a new Police Love Story, LOL.

That's certainly true, but I'm of the opinion that - curiously enough - even "DC" is a lot more complicated than many other series (and I don't mean Anime series). When I see, for example, "CSI" (which I still like!) and compare the cases with Conan's, I make out with increasing frequency that the cases in "DC" are more complicated and better sophisticated than it's the case in most US crime series (wherewith I don't want to corrupt the US productions). Gosho is famous for his intelligent storylines, I still think the BO cases, especially the last real one in Volumes 58 and 59, are really intelligent stories. Even other stories can lay on well-conceived twists and turns, so I still can't understand why Gosho made it that obvious with the police officers (whatever their names are). That just doesn't go with the rest of the great work Gosho has done in the last 15 years. Therefore, I still hope there will be something special in this case, maybe about the man who appeared at the tail of File 682. He seems to me like somebody I've already seen in "DC"...

Okay, this was quite off-topic, but I didn't see an own thread for the new chapter...

They're Yamato Kansuke and Uehara Yui. As for why it was so obvious, I think it's because those 2 chapters weren't supposed to be a difficult puzzle, just a fun side story. Of course, it also provides a clue that Conan is sure of Okiya's identity, as was stated by Kris.

Not sure why they didn't call before making the trip, but then we wouldn't get this moment of Haibara's paranoia and a hint as to who Okiya is or isn't.
