its been a long time since shinichi/conan gets jealous and this is the perfect timing! im pretty sure Ran doesn't have any feelings with Okita, its just another kind of plot where conan will be off guard and suddenly wants to return as shinichi!

[Nemomon]

This is why I liked (the most hated by everybody else) Eisuke. Because back then Conan was jealous all the time, and also he was pretty cute at that.

Can't wait for the events to go nowhere.

Oh man, that sounds so weird :V

People hated Eisuke? I know maybe people didn't like him, but was there hate?

I think there was, but it has cooled down enormously over the years. Thing is, I once read the rumor that Eisuke was written out specifically because the Japanese audience really didn't like the character, which is why Gosho and his editor's decided to get rid of him, so if there is even remotely any bearing to that, I guess you could speak of hate towards the character.

As with everything else, at this point, it's just waiting for the payoff and seeing just how much the wait has lessened its impact on people.

[Zerozaki4869]

From the last page I see it's a good case.I already have a little idea about the profile of the culprit.

Quite clear Ch1000 will be Shinichi's return

RanxShinichi is also like the most hated pairing in Japan. I wish Gosho and his editor would do the right thing but it ain't happenng

He won't do that, because that's a core thing of the manga. I mean this is the sole reason of why Conan wants to return to his Shinichi persona. Without her he probably would consider staying Conan, because he would be safe (would not need each time to say Megure that he was not there), and becausr he already have two love interests (Ayumi and Haibara), and I'm pretty sure he already noticed that they have some feelings toward him.

For me there isn't really a difference between disliking something/someone and hating them. It is the same negative feeling.

It ain't happening because it isn't the most hated pairing in Japan

Remember to stay on topic guys.

Also remember that we're in 2017 and couple/shipping arguments got old by 2012.

Spoiler:

The way this case is set up, there isn't a lot of benefit to being the first discoverer. People would just think the first discoverer (aka the young lady) clonked the victim on the head. That would make the younger lady the less likely culprit. The older lady seems like a reasonable suspect. The man went to the kitchen which I assume connects to that little room with four entries. That gives him potential. My guess is that his alibi is going to be related to the cooking he did, and if there is a way to do shortcuts or not. I don't know how to feel yet, so I will pick on the lone male suspect for now.

The victim's shirt collar seems to be wet for some reason which smeared the blood or made a wet surface for the blood to soak through. I'm not sure which case it is. Was he hit, bled a bit and then water dumped on him? The vase was probably moved earlier, making the crime premeditated?

That little room with four doors provides hiding places I guess, so the culprit could go in one door and hide while people moved around or the body was discovered and then pass behind and mingle or something like that.

Ran's angle.

Sonoko says that maybe they could meet Shinichi in Kyoto. She might be referring to Shinichi Wada, aka Muga Iori, the ninja-like butler of Momiji who lives in Kyoto. Momiji is a rich girl, and thus might be expected to know the Suzuki family and attend Suzuki family functions.

Picture books: it seems like they are trying to judge buildings. One of them was a western building which is an odd choice for Kyoto, which is more known for its traditional architecture. Sonoko has an older sister Ayako Suzuki who is engaged to Yuzo Tomizawa. They are old characters, but they were recently mentioned again in that Kid case where Makoto was a security guard, so they haven't been forgotten. Perhaps they intend to tie the knot in a western style wedding. Sonoko may have been made responsible for researching good locations and asked Ran and Sera to help, explaining the western building and a reason for a rich girl like Momiji and her butler to be present. Attending a wedding is definitely something Conan would be expected to experience when he grows up.

Chapter 1000 may be a wedding event related to the Suzuki's in Kyoto, with Momiji and Iori present, and a case happens.

Spoiler:

Sonoko is definitely talking about our Shinichi here I think; the kanji for our Shinichi are used, she calls him "Shinichi-kun" and earlier they were talking about how Okita resembles Shinichi (Masumi: "That guy that looks just like Kudo-kun?"). Plus, why would Sonoko even know that Iori = Shinichi Wada, especially if we don't even know if Sonoko knows about the Poirot incident.

Kogoro didn't let Ran fall for shinichi even though he is a type of man girl should avoid most

Spoiler:

if the conversation about shinichi in this case is a preparation for the 1000th, then it's possible if shinichi will appear in his real body and of course the scene i have waiting for... meeting with Sera (maybe with that meeting, Mary will trust Conan -> plot progress).

Spoiler:

I totally agree with you on this one, I surly can't wait to see Sera's reaction to Shinichi finally appearing, pretty sure everyone will forget about Conan for a minute too, as always.
I wonder if she will be shocked, and wonder how he become shinichi again, hoping to find a solution for her mothers situation, even if its temporary. From there, Conan might as well bring Haibara into the picture in a way or another, since Shinichi only appears when he takes the prototype haibara made, since the discovery of the alcohol having a effect on them when sick. I don't think Conan will attempt drinking that alcohol since he is sure haibara has those antidote with her.
And as you said, Sera might finally be able to bring Mary into trusting Conan, after she tells her "Conan went back to his normal body as shinichi, and although the effect was temporary, there is a way, so can you please trust the Lad so I can bring him here and we can talk to him about it ) or something like that. Therefore Conan can introduce Haibara to them who is responsible for the making the antidote.

There is a lot of things I can think of in this scenario, and its very EXCITING !!

I'm hoping that I am not going to far with my thoughts, we are all hoping for plot progress soon !

Though I can't read Japanese from the visuals I totally concur with your speculations.

Now comes the interesting part
This case looks very promising and interesting. It might lay-off a Mary Shinichi meeting.
Now assuming the victim is already dead,we can see something specific from the crime scene.
The injury is on the left side of the fore-head and the location indicates that it was struck from the front. So killer is right-handed and the weapon used was a blunt instrument.
The lack of the signs of a fight(neat and clean shirt of the victim, lack of defensive wounds mean that it most likely a one hit kill. So the spilled water vase in the crime scene doesn't make much of a sense, but there's a chance that spilled water was needed to get rid of the murder weapon. Also the injury was vertical, not horizontal. A frontal vertical injury means that the height difference between the criminal and the victim was well within 3-4 inches.
