Gosho Aoyama, Case Closed, vol. 12 (ViZ, 1994)
Three more stories, though I have to say it doesn't say a great deal about the middle one that I completely forgot about it by the next morning. First is another Junior Detective League story, and as increasingly common, it's the best of the three: Dr. Agasa invites the JDL to his uncle's house for a treasure hunt, but Conan uncovers a real mystery to be found there. In the second, Conan may have finally found a clue to the identities of the Syndicate guys who poisoned Jimmy at a gaming convention-- but the guy gets blown up before Conan can investigate. The third sees Richard Moore and co. off for a Sherlock Holmes weekend. Everything's going along smoothly when the host turns up dead, and both Conan and Harley, his rival from the east, are hard-pressed to solve the case before any of the amateur sleuths. Not bad. ***
