281

Three young detectives pretend to be investigators but stumble upon an actual homicide. They witness a victim wrapped in a sheet being loaded into a truck. The boys hide inside the vehicle with the corpse while the driver transports them to a forest for burial. The following day, they report the incident to Conan and Mouri. Using the landmarks the truck passed, Conan deduces the burial location. The authorities locate the body based on this information, leading to the arrest of the murderer. The group successfully transitions from play-acting to assisting in a genuine criminal investigation through their direct observation and subsequent cooperation with the adult detectives.
