Conan tackles a string of murders as relatives gathered over an inheritance are killed one after another inside locked rooms. Amid scheming for a vast fortune, the culprit has crafted an airtight alibi through elaborate tricks. The volume also packs cerebral duels built on dates and codes, including "The Riddle of August 3rd" and a strangely pointed gift. With Conan showing off his deductions through a sleeping Kogoro, Volume 3 leans hard into classic, fair-play mystery.

Case Closed Vol. 3 spoilers
⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
In the family-annihilation arc, the killer, targeting the order of inheritance, combines locked-room tricks with timing to pick off relatives one by one. Conan pins down the true culprit from faint traces at the scene and a contradiction in the motive hidden within the estate's division rules. The killer exploited the position least likely to be suspected. This volume cements Conan's method, cracking physical tricks and psychological motive at once, setting the template for the rest of the series.
