About this deal
Conan Edogawa, Ran Mouri, Kogoro Mouri, Ninzaburo Shiratori, Juzo Megure, Eimei Shishido, Minoru Nishina, Kohei Sawaki, and Peter Ford Conan figures out the answer, and they spot the photographer Shishido Eimei taking pictures around the museum.
The search for the next target, a "number nine", continues. Kogoro says he can't think of anyone but he does know someone with an eight, Kohei Sawaki. Therefore, Megure, Shiratori, Ran, Conan and Kogoro visit Sawaki at home to warn him. He shows them around and presents his large wine collection to them. Conan has a look through Sawaki's apartment and notices a dent in the floor. Sawaki explains he dropped a wine bottle. When asked about his plans for the next couple of days, Sawaki explains that he is supposed to meet Kazuyoshi Asahi in his not-yet-opened complex AquaCrystal to discuss the restaurant Asahi plans to open in the building. Everyone joins Sawaki for his meeting in the AquaCrystal restaurant. To their alarm, Nana (seven) Osanai, Minoru Nishina (two), Eimei Shishido and Peter Ford (his last name sounds like "four") are also waiting to board the monorail to the main building, all claim they have been summoned by Asahi. On the way to the restaurant, they also notice there is a three in Nin zaburo Shiratori's name. Ran is anxious when she realises Shin ichi could also be a target as "ichi" means "one". She wants to challenge the critic once they arrive at the restaurant and gets him to taste a wine without looking, making him guess the type of grape. Nishina says it's a Chambertin but is wrong.

Nana Osanai (First name is a Japanese reading of 7) - Nina Oliver (She was a model since the age of 7) Hiroki Tsuji competed in the same charity golf tournament that Kogoro competed in The Golf Driving Range Murder Case. Osanai and Nishina get into an argument. Osanai complains that a restaurant that Nishina recommended in his book was actually terrible and that he has no taste at all.
Conan goes to get everyone something to drink from the storage and hands them glasses with mineral water. While watching them, he realises who actually committed the murders.
Kogoro, in his "charming" way, wanted to tell her to take it easy and rest, but what he actually said is "I won't be able to eat anything, your cooking is disgusting."
When Conan calls Ran as Shinichi later, she asks him if he would do the same if Ran was held hostage, even if it meant injuring Ran. Conan says that although Kogoro did shoot Eri, he wonders if that was the whole truth, and hangs up. As the group is about to leave Aquacrystal, Nana notices Asahi's body floating in the fish tank and screams. The Nine of Spades is found on his chest.Kohei Sawaki (His name contains the kanji for 8) - Kevin Simms (He went to a culinary school with an 8 year program) Conan mentions that although Kogoro did shoot Eri, he questions if that was the whole truth, and hangs up.
