Yay Amuro <3
And Sonoko is after the dark-skinned guys again XD

Actually, I think Amuro was really worried about Conan. For him, Conan should be a normal child, and just because he's in the BO doesn't mean he can't be worried about innocent children (he's doesn't have to be like Gin or like a child-shoving Vodka XD). Since Vermouth also started to like Conan, Ran, Kogoro and co. and she's also in the BO and killed people. Amuro could also have started to like the group too.

I think when Conan was knocked out and he was thinking about the BO, he could have mumbled something to Amuro when Amuro was carrying him D:

I always thought that Okiya send Haibara that "Vermouth message" D: And not Conan said that Okiya hacked it. Was it a lie? Or did Vermouth really send it? If she did, how does Vermouth know Haibara's number? D:

Also, is it just me or did anyone else noticed that the guy behind Makoto looks like Vodka? O_o
At least that guy has the same features that we can see on Vodka. Same nose, same big mouth and same chin. Vodka doesn't have that dimple tho and has darker hair :V

[Akako]

im sorry but when was it said that amuro took conan's watch?

It wasn't said anywhere. It is a part of someone's theory somewhere under a spoiler tag (there are too many >.>)

I think someone got the idea because  Conan's pose and expression whilst yawning and catching sght of the body in the room  ->  probably looked like he was in shock because of his watch missing.

Oh well, that was before the chapter translation was released, so everyone was guessing what was happening be the spoiler pics. It seems to have caused confusion.

Amuro is having a friend in security company? And with Date-san also an old friend in police department? Together with being Bo, he seems to have some cool spy-like connections. 

And for me, the trick is clear.
While the victim was sleeping and the shoes were standing in front of the door or somewhere near it, the culprit came into the room and linked a fishing line to the shoe. Then he stretched and led the line trough the slit on top of the door. Before he went out of the room, he placed the vase on the edge of the shelf.
Then he waited outside the room, and when he heard that the victim has stood up and put on the shoes, he waited a bit more until the victim was standing in front of the door, and pulled the line. The victim was torn from his shoe, fell against the shelf, therefore the vase fell on his head.
The culprit opened the door just a bit, took the shoe, and vanished.
Therefore the culprit must be the tallest of the suspects.

That's what Kogoro could say. I know it's a trash theory, but it's an attempt.

2 things:
The last case at Sonoko's Tennis Court was Suspicious Curry(332-333) where Conan couldn't talk and have to sign-language the deduction, so if Amuro took Conan's watch it might make sense.

However, Gosho drew Conan without the watch to begin with, and didn't draw his short pockets(at least not very obvious) so I wonder where is all his gadgets. The local police=Inspector Yamamura so we may have a Yamamura accuse Conan of murder case LMAO.

@Female Apprentice
I've yet to check if your theory works by rereading the chapter. I wonder why the victim was in the room Conan was sleeping in (wait... I need to check who brought Conan into the room).

The shelf looks very sturdy but the victim was of a large build so the force of him falling may be enough to shake the shelf. The victim does indeed have only one shoe. I think this theory is not too far fetched as this situation and Gosho's usage of string/fishing line in a locked room murder happens quite alot in this series.

There may be also importance in being able to move between the rooms via the windows...

I'm not good at forming theories =="

... Who would kill someone in a room with a sleeping kid? o.O"

[Kei.Akai]

Nadal is better than Federer.

[Conan 48:69]

Since Conan is at Izu, then elder Yokomizo will appear in File 826. As in Ep 246-247 The Mystery in the Net, the location is Izu too. And what will Yokomizo react if Amuro is introduced to him as Kogorou's disciple.

I found that 5 new characters had a word with fruits in their surname. Momozuno is peach, Umejima is plum, Ishiguri is chestnut, Takanashi is pear, Uriu is melon. Maybe there is a hint about fruits to point out which of the 3 suspects is a culprit.

[Stopwatch]

Case suspects usually have puns in their names and, outside of the Gundam stuff (which doesn't even apply 'cause they've never all been suspects together) it doesn't point out anything to do with their roles in the case.

[Conan-chandesune]

God, Seriously, Conan goes there and a person gets murdered!!

Maybe he's a serial killer Like in Curtain,Poirot's Final Case??

[Atraos]

"What part of any of that is 'dere'?"

Well, Ai´s a good tsundere so you gotta earn the dere, she won´t just give it to you for ya pleasure, you know? For example, starting to tell her that there might be problems ahead or letting her into the emergency plan before would earn you some brownie points. Letting her believe everything´s fine and then be shocked to death by Vermouth´s SMS *Yo, Sherry. You gonna die. lol* and then meeting the guy she believes is BO-agent himself WON`T get you dere. More like a b-slap, but you were lucky this time, Conan. XDDD

^This, Now I've joined the ranks of those who want Ai to b-slap him Ai was once central to the plot, but now she has been flanderized into delievering one line banter and shacking in terror because of the BO. Well, mabye she'll be allowed to grab some more spotlight when it's time for plot again, which would be about 2014, considering Gosho's relation with plot advancement

[ShinRan4ver]

Nadal is better than Federer.

I think the comparison was made because of Skin color instead of Game, plus Nadal is more popular among girls.

Since Conan is at Izu, then elder Yokomizo will appear in File 826. As in Ep 246-247 The Mystery in the Net, the location is Izu too. And what will Yokomizo react if Amuro is introduced to him as Kogorou's disciple.

I doubt that, this is the exact tennis court they went to during the Suspicious Curry(331-332) case-> Conan mentioned the last time they were there it was raining that's a solid hint to the Suspicious Curry case, and when the murder happened Yamamura showed up. So it would make sense for Yamamura to show up as well. In all of the Izu cases(Night Baron/Mystery In the Net etc) there was no rain, the only case with Tennis Court+Rain is Suspicious Spicy Curry(331-332).

Well I hope the Ai/Sera confrontation(and maybe an Ai/Akai confrontation) will put Ai in the spotline,since Conan always exclude her from any BO case.
And yeah I also wanted Ai b-slapping Conan but she only yelled at himXDXD

[caniran]

This is the second time a tennis player is mentioned the first was Andy Murray and now Nadal.I hope the next time Fognini will be mentioned.

[El Huesudo II]

So, this is gonna be a Yokomizo Jugo case?

LOL. He's one of the few that have seen Conan's real skills at work*, right? I wonder what he'll think of Conan being in the locked room with the corpse... "So, tired of solving them, you attempted one to see how it's like, kiddo?"


* By this I mean he's seen Conan solve the case without borrowing someone else's voice. See: Ikkaku Rock.
