For over two decades, Detective Conan (Case Closed) has captivated audiences with its intricate locked-room mysteries and the sharp deductive prowess of its protagonist, Shinichi Kudo (trapped in the body of Conan Edogawa).

The decrepit lodge where the murders occur feels less like a building and more like a trap, reflecting the trapped mental states of its inhabitants.
