Detective Conan - Episode 1148: The Detective Boys and the Two Leaders (Part One)

The new year begins with a cheerful greeting before the conversation shifts to current events, including a successful movie and a collaboration at the beach. Wakasa-sensei offers to drive the Detective Boys—Conan, Haibara, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta—to the beach since their usual driver is unavailable. Okiya Subaru joins as an additional escort, raising questions about Wakasa-sensei's true intentions toward Haibara.

At the beach, the children first enjoy a snack before stumbling upon a crime scene behind a beach hut. Manager Usui is found strangled, and the circumstances of his death appear suspicious. The local police, led by Yokomizo, begin their investigation. Three employees, each with a key to the locked back room, come under suspicion. Their statements range from separate shopping trips to forgotten keys and personal errands, yet none have a solid alibi. As the police gather evidence, Conan observes the situation closely. However, the exact circumstances of Usui's final moments—and Wakasa-sensei's interest in Haibara—remain unresolved, promising exciting revelations in the next installment.
