The day after we returned from Kyoto,
Higashio Maria-chan missed class at Teitan Elementary School without any notice.
Now that you mention it,
she said she found a letter
from her dead grandma in her desk drawer the other day.
It sounds like Grandma set up a treasure hunt in her house for me.
Do you guys want to invite Conan-kun and look for it together sometime?
Sure, let's do it.
Believing Maria-chan went to her dead grandmother's house to look for treasure,
Higashio
they visited her grandmother's home, where they found a mysterious message.
Start! Maria-chan, good luck!
Meanwhile...
Hello?
I told you not to draw attention to yourself!
Everyone's talking about you online!
What?!
"High school detective Kudo Shinichi solves the case!"
"The rumors that he's dead were wrong!"
Th-They're talking about me online?!
This isn't good! The news has spread everywhere!
Right now at this moment, light pierces the darkness!
Overcome all limits with your cool reasoning skills!
How will we combat the news spreading online?
The boss of the Organization is revealed!
Always determining the one truth
with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,
his name is Detective Conan!
Find Maria-chan!
"Find Maria-chan, Part Two!"
Hey, Ran!
Look out the window.
Out the window?
Don't you think that's a huge group of reporters?
Yeah.
Did something happen?
Something sure did happen.
Everyone's talking about your boyfriend online right now.
What? Why are they talking about Shinichi?
Oh, my.
You just casually acknowledged that Shinichi-kun is your boyfriend, madam.
Why shouldn't I? He is my boyfriend...
Hey, take your seats!
Let's get started!
This room seems to be directly beneath that arrow.
What a cute room.
Maria-chan must have stayed in this room when she came to this house.
Isn't it kind of cold in here?
Well, we are in the basement.
So, where's the next arrow?
I don't see an arrow,
but there's a note stuck to the bedside table next to the bed.
What?
What does it say?
"Now you can use the bathroom during the night!"
During the night?
She must've meant to turn on this light before going to bed, so...
Could you turn out the lights?
Okay!
This is...
Wow!
The bumpy pattern goes all around the room.
But it doesn't look like an arrow.
No.
Something was left here.
These two rectangular marks must've been left by this photo frame.
The shadow changed for some reason.
That's it.
Which means if we place something in the other rectangular marks...
It must be this doll.
If you match the doll's base to this square mark...
It changed again!
Is there anything on the floor over there?
Huh?
Not on the floor, but this sailboat on the shelf fell over.
Could you try standing it back up?
Sure.
Try to keep it in the same place.
It's up.
Now move out of the way.
Okay.
Amazing!
There's an arrow on the wall!
That's it!
Then the next one must be in the room next door.
Huh?
It's a bathroom.
Indeed.
But there's very obviously an arrow in here.
But the only thing it's pointing towards is the bath.
That's not a bath, it's a shower.
There's a note in front of the arrow on the sink.
"Take care of my bird!"
What bird?
Does she mean this doll?
It seems to have a beak.
But how do we take care of it?
What a strange doll.
I don't recognize it.
I feel like I've seen this before.
Now that we're stuck...
That means...
...we'll have to ask.
Huh?
Ask Conan-kun!
What?
Can't we?
Why not?
I'm sure he knows what it is.
Conan-kun's over his cold, right?
Then let's try calling him.
Don't we need to find Maria-chan as soon as possible?
I hate to ask that promise-breaker for help,
but we don't have a choice.
I know!
Kudo Shinichi had a twin brother, and it was his brother who died.
Why don't we spread that rumor online?
People would know immediately that that's a lie!
Don't you get it, Shinichi?
If the Black Organization finds out that you're alive...
Yeah, I know.
I'm so worried that if I don't joke about it,
I'll go crazy.
Damn...
Haibara Ai Incoming Call
Haibara.
Well? Did you come up with a plan?
Huh?
What? You still haven't found Maria-chan?
But it's already evening.
I see.
Maria-chan seems to have stopped by her grandmother's house
before school in order to look for the treasure she hid, but you couldn't find her.
You followed the notes and arrows left by her grandmother
and arrived at the bathroom,
but the arrow pointed to an empty shower room.
That's right.
Hey.
You just laughed, didn't you?
If you've figured out the answer, tell me, you traitor.
Traitor?
Conan-kun, please!
If we don't find her soon, then Maria-chan...
You guys aren't taking care of the drinking bird.
Drinking bird?
Drinking bird? You mean...
This bird-like doll to the right of the arrow?
Yeah.
Drinking birds use the slight heat generated by evaporation to...
In any case, the bird will move if you give it water.
How are we supposed to give it water?
There's a glass cup with a toothbrush on the sink.
Pour water in that and place it in front of the doll.
Okay!
I did it.
It's not moving.
Maybe it's broken.
Place the doll's beak inside the cup.
Like this?
That's it.
Now let go, and it should stand up on its own.
After some time, it'll dip its beak in the water again.
Why?
It's like it's actually drinking water.
Wow!
I see. This is how it's using the vaporization heat.
So? What does this accomplish?
Look at the arrow through the cup.
Through the cup?
The arrow's pointing the other way.
Why?
The water in the cup is refracting the light,
changing the focal point because of something called Snell's law.
It makes objects appear flipped.
In other words, the arrow is pointing not towards the shower room in the bathroom,
but that room across from the bathroom.
Let's check it out!
Yes.
Maybe Maria-chan's asleep.
Call Kobayashi-sensei once you find Maria-chan.
I know.
Later.
Who is it? Delivery?
