Detective Conan Episode 564 -
Conan investigates under Kogoro’s sleeping guise. The printer is a high-end laser model, but its power cord is unplugged – yet the print job finished. How?
Fade to black. “Some messages are written in silence – and in paper.” Conan sits at Agasa’s table, staring at the note. He whispers, “If this is fake… who printed the real one?” The note’s watermark shifts slightly – revealing a hidden Crow silhouette. (Hint at the Black Organization’s involvement in currency forgery – a nod to future episodes.)

“Clever boy. Yes, I killed Uzuki. He refused to join my ring. But you have no proof.”
Conan corners Saki Minamino in the workshop’s darkroom. She smirks, holding a UV flashlight. Conan investigates under Kogoro’s sleeping guise
The killer brought pre-printed fake notes, swapped them into the tray, then staged the scene. The real printer never ran. But the thermal fiber came from a portable receipt printer – a device only the rare-currency dealer carries to issue authenticity certificates on the spot.

That night, they visit Uzuki’s workshop – a soundproofed room filled with scanners, printers, and UV lamps. Uzuki is found slumped over his desk, a faint smell of burnt paper and almonds (cyanide) in the air. A glass of whiskey sits nearby, half-empty. The police rule suicide – Uzuki had mounting debts.
But Conan spots the contradiction: the printer’s “jobs completed” counter shows , yet a fresh stack of counterfeit notes sits in the output tray. Someone printed after he died.
