The old man really raised a death flag at 21:50 :l

conan blatantly asking for something while mouri is awake is :O

yup! and Kogoro didn't whack, toss, insult, or blow off Conan's input at ALL! :O i think the screenwriters doing the anime original episodes at TMS are DEFINITELY mellowing out Kogoro and Conan's relationship.

And they thought it is just a missing person case that ended well, at last, they just showed something getting burned but we don't know what it is let's hope it is not a person.

4 episodes left

yeah, i was waiting the whole episode for the other shoe to drop. two parters in Conan NEVER end the 1st episode without SOMETHING bad happening. but the anime original screenwriters at TMS waited till the last minute in the episode to let that bad thing happen. :/

Fair enough but it either becomes forgettable than being bad
