The case involving several woman being killed continues in this volume. Inspector Megure also reveals some of his past which is a nice character development.

The second case involves the detective boys and the professor on a bus. Several suspicious people are sitting in the back of the bus and one of them causes Ai to be terrified. The bus was then hijacked and the criminals threatened to kill one hostage an hour. Another accomplice already on the bus must also be found. I thoroughly enjoyed this case in particular.

The final case is called K3. Conan,Ran and Mouri visit Heiji in Osaka and go to an event involving three sports stars. One of them is Conan's idol and a soccer player. A murder is committed and the corpse leaves a dying message of two fingers and a hand on his belt. All three sports stars could have killed him but which one? This was a good case too.

A fantastic volume of legitimately varied plots and mysteries. The volume starts off continuing the ganguro murder investigation that also ties into Inspector Megure's first case as a rookie detective... And the next case relates to a bus hijacking involving the junior detective league and a run-in with a dangerous member of the Black Organization. The other two cases involve a missing dog at an estate giveaway and then a trip to Osaka to a restaurant opening that ends in a murder with multiple likely suspects.

Trigger warning: the last case centers around drug addiction specifically heroin

Cases include an is-the-dog-in-an-incinerator fake-out, the first appearance of Akai, and a heroine addict.

The dog one was my favorite this volume. It gave me a heart-attack for a moment, but I was happy to see everything work out at the end

Caso "Bateador Aplasta Gals con Hechos y Lógica": ahí está. Sonoko es bastante estúpida y añade tensión de forma algo artificial, pero la forma en que se relaciona con Megure y los engaños narrativos que rodean su cicatriz amenizan toda la lectura.

El Casobús: todo un portento narrativo. No solo reúne a todos los personajes importantes hasta el momento; también plantea una estrategia de secuestro muy bien pensada, no deja de introducir tensión y encima se relaciona con la trama principal a través de la introducción de Akai y esa diatriba Vermouth-Jodie (algo excesiva, todo sea dicho). El final cuesta de creer, pero con alguna que otra concesión no cuesta elevar el caso a uno de los mejores de la serie.

Caso "Puedes Matar a Gente, Pero a los Perretes Ni los Toques": caso distendido que, si bien nunca sorprende demasiado, está bien pensado y respeta a los perretes. Coño, qué monos son. Además, al igual que el caso del oso y el cazador, plantea un cierto debate moral de interés respecto a las acciones del criminal.

Caso No Te Fíes de tus Estrellas Deportivas: me gusta que el asesino sea tan obvio desde el primer o segundo capítulos para que la resolución no resulte tanto sorprendente como triste. Shinichi debe enfrentarse a su ídolo y darse cuenta de que ni la gente que admiras puede salvarse de cometer un crimen. La escena en inglés final es algo cómica porque se nota que Aoyama no domina tanto el idioma, pero se lo perdono por el cambio de fórmula de la serie.

Loved the Dog-Chapter! Can’t believe I’m at book 29 and I’m tired of Ran not knowing about Conan, uff.
