that was a fairly meh volume sadly. the first case was fairly good even though it was fairly simple and more or less gave away the killer in the first ten minutes. the second case was rushed and it would have been nice to have had another chapter so more clues could have been brought in. also showed the return of the main villains for a short period of time. also the third case was terrible. it featured the bane of the series the detective boys who not only didn't really contribute anything but essentially just got in conans way. also they made the case last for longer then was probably necessary.
a fairly meh volume with one good case, a case that was promising but to short and another that was just boring. will continue with series because from memory the cases get a lot better and the detective boys do not appear as regularly from a certain point onwards.

Rereading chronicles continue. This is the volume where Sonoko/Serena is introduced. What great fun! After almost 3 years since my first read, I'm glad that I still remember who the suspects were and how it was done. Although now that I think of it, some of the methods in some of the crimes feel improbable to execute in real life. But hey, this is fiction and this was an enjoyable read. Besides, as long as it's not impossible, however, improbable must be the truth (Sherlock Holmes, non verbatim).

The first and second cases were pretty bland, but the third was really fun and had some good tension.

Another fun set of cases. My personal favorite was the art museum one. Such an interesting case.

Hier haben wir mehrere Fälle, die Conan zu lösen hat. Einmal eine sich bewegende Rüstung in einem Museum, dann eine Kofferbombe in einem Zug, wo er die schwarzen Männer wieder sieht, und dann eine Schatzkarte für italienisches Gold in Tokyo. Lustig wie die Detektiv Boys da am Anfang noch nicht merken wie viel schlauer Conan ist.
