Case
Situation
Part 1
Conan, Kogoro, and Ran take the overnight North Star Express to Hokkaido to meet a former client. On the train, they meet up with a series of people. However, in the night, a murder case occurs when a burglar seemingly kills a jewelry trader, and escapes through the window.

Conan noticed that the plot is very similar to an unpublished novel written by his father that had been stolen ten years before. However, unable to contact Yusaku Kudo, Conan takes the case into his own hands, and finds his mother on the train.
Part 2
Conan reveals to the suspicious woman that he knows her identity - it is Yukiko Kudo, his mother, in disguise. As they discuss the case, Kogoro calls all the passengers to witness his inaccurate deduction, enabling Conan to figure out the trick. However, a worried Conan recalls that in the novel, the detective boy who solved the case was murdered by the trap he set for the criminal. Yukiko volunteers to act as a decoy to help him find the proof.

Quotes
- Extracts from Yusaku Kudo's novel:
- The sound of gun shot and screams... (銃声と悲鳴がトンネル内の轟音をかき消した…)
- The man ran through the aisle as if he were a starved beast... (その男は、飢えた獣のごとく、闇の通路を駆け抜け…)
- But the man was no longer anywhere in sight... The wind and the sound of the train played their clamorous tune... (だが、男の姿はもうそこにはなく…風と列車音がけたたましい曲を奏でていた…)
- The young man wearing black rimmed glasses smiled a smirk of victory. (黒緣の眼鏡の青年は、勝ち誇ったかの様に一笑した…その推理力故に自らが命を落とす羽目になるとも知らないで…)
- The killer sneaks silently up behind the young detective... with his blood-stained hands... lightly pushes the vulnerable back of the detective... and covers the entire platform with blood... (罪人は音もなく若き探偵の背後に忍びより…血塗られた両手でその無防備な背を軽く突いて…プラットホームを血に染めた…)
- Yusaku Kudo (to the culprit Toshinori Kaetsu):
If you felt in any way moved by my novel... I'll recommend you to turn yourself in. Because the killer in that novel in the end was scheduled to turn himself into the police after regretting all that he did.
(もしもあなたが私の小説に少しでも感銘を受けられたのなら…自首する事をお勧めしたい。あの小説の犯人は、ラストで全ての罪を悔いて警察に出頭する予定でしたから。)
- Yusaku Kudo recounting jokes after the case has been solved:
Yusaku's guffaw at Yukiko.
Yukiko Kudo: But I sure sense fate, for you to come and save me just in the nick of time.
(工藤有希子「でも運命だよねー私の大ピンチに間一髪で駆けつけてくれるんだもの。」)
Yusaku Kudo: In the nick of time? I was there near you from about two minutes before everything happened.
(工藤優作「間一髪?オレは2分ぐらい前からずっどおまえのそばにいたが…」)
Yukiko Kudo: Huh? Then what? You mean you waited doing something until I was almost pushed?
(工藤有希子「え?じゃーなーに?私が突き飛ばさせる寸前まで黙って見てたってわけ?」)
Yusaku Kudo: Yes. I wanted to be sure that he was the killer. Besides, the stage of the novel was the Seikan Tunnel. So, I silently watch over you.[N 2]
(工藤優作「ああ…あの人が犯人だという確証が欲しかったし…それになんたってトリックの舞台は青函トンネル…黙って静観してたというわけさ!」)
Yukiko Kudo: He gives me the shivers.
(工藤有希子「さむいわね…」)
Conan Edogawa: It is Hokkaido, after all.
(江戸川コナン「ああ…北海道だからな…」)

Notes
- ^ This behaviour precisely matches with the plot found within a previous case: The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases, where Yukiko compared Yusaku with Kogoro Akechi; which to a certain degree, may manifest her affirmation of her husband.
- ^ Dry humour - "
青函 " (Seikan) and "静観 " (silently watch) share identical pronunciation.
