Episode 236: The Nanki-Shirahama Mystery Tour (Part 1)

Mouri, Ran, and Conan take a vacation to Nanki-Shirahama. It’s a really nice place, and a great majority of this episode is taken up with 'Travel to Japan' promotional videos of them walking around, seeing the sites, enjoying refreshments, and educating themselves at museums. Their relaxed vacation comes to an abrupt stop while they’re walking on the white sand beaches, and they meet 'medicine-art' students. There's Maki-san, who spends a thousand dollars on make-up a month. She has long red hair, purple lips and sunglasses, a mole, and a hat. Then there’s Madoka, the 'Madonna' of the group. She wants to collect some sand to bring home. There’s also Long Hair Snoot Face, who hates souvenirs, especially the one that Ran liked. Lastly there’s Computer Geek and Kanako, a woman with spiky brown hair who isn’t going to do favors for Maki anymore, even though she helped her through university math classes. They have this enormous argument right in front of Mouri within seconds of meeting him. Needless to say, Conan and his group vacate the premises as quickly as possible. However, Maki-san tracks them down later, as they’re watching the sunset, to encourage Mouri to go to a fish and drinking market in the morning, before he goes to Adventure Land. She takes the liberty to even provide precise instructions as to how to get there. Then she jumps in her car and zooms away. The next morning, they’re enjoying their day in the bright sunshine, when all of the sudden Conan goes into shock because he senses Anokata’s large blue eyes glaring at him from across the station. They continue on and go to a shop where Ran has to buy a smiley tomato, but Conan senses the eyes there too. Then they briefly see Maki-san, who bows to them before zooming off in her car again. Meanwhile, Conan chases Anokata who’s getting on a bus to Sandanbeki. They meet Computer Geek at Adventure Land after watching a walrus and orca show, where he gets a phone call from the Madonna, who tells him that Maki-san is dead with a knife in her chest. They tell her they’ll be there soon. Apparently she found the body because Maki’s cellphone was going off playing Beethoven, but she didn’t hear the murder taking place only moments before, because the waves were too loud. She also didn’t think to call the police or an ambulance after finding Maki-san because when they get there, she’s just sitting there, painting, a few meters from the body. When the police finally arrive, you meet two really nice detectives, who are thoroughly the most normal people in all of Detective Conan, and that includes the fact that one of them never opens his eyes.
