From those clues, Conan realizes the answer. The thief was reading a newspaper, the place allowed smoking, and Genta never took his eyes off of him meaning it was a place where it wouldn't be unusual to watch someone without making them uncomfortable. Genta does remember a few more details about the thief though. The salesperson doesn't remember anyone unusual either. The Detective Boys run to find the place, but unfortunately the criminal had followed them into the restaurant and overheard everything.Īt the shop, the salesperson explains that they sold a variety of shirts like that with different text such as "Escape", "Help", and "1999" because of the doomsday prediction in 2000, but none that say 202. Conan asks the man where he got his shirt, and the man tells him it is from the Bones clothing store. Genta notices one of the customers at the burger place has a similar tee-shirt, only with the numbers 1999 instead. He was also wearing a tee-shirt with a skull and the numbers 202 in digital clock-like numerals. The things he remembers about the thief are that he was holding a cigarette in his left hand, meaning he is left handed. He remembers the witness sitting beside him, but doesn't remember the thief sitting down. Genta tries to recall where he saw the thief.

Genta later gets a mysterious phone call: "If you tell anyone that you saw me, I will kill you!! You, your family, and everybody that you know!" He took the witness to the police and told them the story, but the witness denied seeing the thief. Genta also explains that he went to a crime scene where the snatcher struck five days ago and saw his golden-haired witness in the crowd. Genta does remember a golden haired man was with him when he saw the thief.

Genta had seen the man sometime earlier, before he was a wanted burglar, but had forgotten where it was. They go to a burger restaurant and Genta reveals the man he thinks is trying to kill him is the purse snatcher the police are after. While Genta is talking, the Detective Boys got away from the falling letter.Ĭonan examines the support cable, and determines it had been deliberately cut and someone was indeed after Genta's life. Outside a Beika City building with a Kamen Yaiba game on the sidewalk that Genta likes to play A large bolt falls nearby, barely alerting the Detective Boys in time to avoid part of the store's "BAKER" sign hurtling to the ground. As he was telling the Detective Boys this, they reached a place outside a store where Genta likes to play a Yaiba Game machine. Later he was pushed off a bridge, and a burning car hurtled towards him. Earlier, he had heard the sound of someone's footsteps keeping pace with him in a tunnel.

When the Detective Boys confront him, he tells them someone is trying to kill him. When he leaves school, Genta climbs over the wall and runs, like he is trying to lose someone.

He is hiding under his futon at home, and doesn't eat his lunch instead of racing to finish first which is worrying his teacher Kobayashi. Genta has been acting weird at school lately.
