Synopsis "case closed 27"

Can Detective Conan crack the case...while trapped in a kid's body? Jimmy Kudo, the son of a world-renowned mystery writer, is a high school detective who has cracked the most baffling of cases. One day while on a date with his childhood friend Rachel Moore, Jimmy observes a pair of men in black involved in some shady business. The men capture Jimmy and give him a poisonous substance to rub out their witness. But instead of killing him, it turns him into a little kid! Jimmy takes on the pseudonym Conan Edogawa and continues to solve all the difficult cases that come his way. All the while, he's looking for the men in black and the mysterious organization they're with in order to find a cure for his miniature malady. Conan and his friends take a well-deserved break at a video arcade--until one unlucky gamer is found dead in the seat of a virtual-reality game. As Conan and Rachel investigate, they're joined by an unlikely new accomplice: Rachel's English teacher, Ms. Saintemillion. Outside the classroom, the fast-talking American turns out to have an itchy trigger finger--at least when it comes to video games--and a suspiciously keen interest in Conan. Has the shrunken sleuth stumbled upon a valuable new ally...or an enemy agent?

Gōshō Aoyama (青山剛昌), born on June 21, 1963 in Hokuei, Tottori Prefecture, Japan, is a prominent Japanese mangaka known for his ability to blend mystery, humor, and visual storytelling in his works. He debuted in 1987 with the one-shot Chotto Mattete and gained fame with Yaiba (1988–1993), an adventure series that earned him the Shōgakukan Award for best shōnen manga in 1993. That same year, he started publishing Magic Kaito, featuring the charismatic thief Kaito Kid, a character who also appears in his most famous work.

In 1994, Aoyama began Detective Conan (Meitantei Conan), a mystery and crime series that has exceeded 100 volumes and has been adapted into anime, movies, and video games. In 2001, he again received the Shōgakukan Award for best shōnen manga for this work. His hometown, Hokuei, has honored his legacy with statues of the characters and the opening of the Gosho Aoyama Manga Factory in 2007. Aoyama continues to be an influential figure in contemporary manga, with a career that combines commercial success and critical acclaim.
