Ep. 144: The North Star No. 3 Express Leaving Ueno (Part 1)

144

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: Toshinori Kaetsu, Akishige Ishizuchi, Toru Aoba, and Azusa Izumo, Yasuji Asama, and Keitaro Izumo. As the train ride progresses, Yasuji apparently shoots Keitaro in the head, killing him instantly, and escapes through the window. The train stops and the group finds Yasuji dead in what appears to be an unfortunate accident. Conan notices that the events is eerily similar to the plot of an unpublished novel written by his father, Yusuko, that had been stolen ten years prior. He is unable to contact Yusuko to confirm his suspicions and takes the case into his own hands. A mysterious woman is seen watching Conan from afar. (Source: Wikipedia)
