Ep. 457: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief (Part 1)

457

Sonoko brought Ran, who in turn brought Conan, to visit the site in the countryside used as location in the filming of a well-received romantic TV series, where the lead actress tied a red handkerchief to a tree branch to enable her lover to find her. The success of the series went beyond expectation and the sleepy rural area became a popular tourist spot where female visitors tied red handkerchieves all over the woods, spoiling Sonoko's scheme to lure Makoto out for a romantic rendezvous. They then encountered a man who claimed to be part of the TV crew, and was commissioned by a fan to find the exact location of tree with the original red handkerchief from the show. Shortly afterwards, he was discovered, stabbed to death, at said spot. (Source: Wikipedia)
