Now that the story arc involving Akira Toudou is over, we're now back on track and now this story arc focuses on Ankh, as he WILL FINALLY get some of his Core Medals back, and it's about time he gets them, after spending over 100 chapters of relentless drive to become "complete" again. Believe me, this arc will definitely make you curious as to what will be like once this arc ends.
However, before that "exciting moment" happens, trouble is up ahead as Detective Conan support characters Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama gets embroiled as the remaining Greed uses them as a "hostage" to get back at Kyuji and Ankh, and eventually, Shinichi Kudo's body will be put at risk.

O – And, AkiraToudou's past is revealed and why he decided to accept the job offer from the Kougami Foundation

At her house, Kazuha Toyama is humming as she is brushing her hair and is getting ready to go n a night date with her boyfriend, Heiji Hattori, and after greeting her parents, she left the house and is heading for the bus station and is about to board a parked bus when someone came and accosted her. At first she is wary at the stranger but then he asked her questions about Heiji which she wondered how the stranger knew about Heiji.
"Ah…my first actual date with Heiji…and I have him all to myself for tonight…ah, here comes the bus…"
"Excuse me…do you know a Heiji…?"
"Huh? Are you talking to me…?"
"Who else am I talking to…?"
"You're looking for Heiji? How did you know about him?"
"I see you're connected to him…"
"What do you want from him? And what do you want from me?"
"Perhaps this would give you the answer…"
But then the stranger tossed what appeared to be a picture of someone and she recognized it, and there her eyes went wide-eyed as the scene slowly faded, but not before a scream of anger is heard, which came from Kazuha herself.
"RRRRRAAAAGGGHHHH!"

Somewhere later at Osaka, Heiji is waiting for Kazuha in front of a bus stop for they have a date which they would have dinner later just before watching the fireworks display, and is looking forward to spend a romantic night with her after he and Kazuha managed to confess their feelings and are now going steady since before the airship incident (see Airship, Core Medals, Hijackers). After a few more minutes, Kazuha arrived but he is taken aback at seeing her in an angry display and accuses Heiji of cheating her and for not being "straight".
"Hmm…Kazuha is never this late before…"
"HEIJI!"
"Ah…she's here…huh?"
"HEIJI, YOU IDIOT!"
"What's wrong, Kazuha?"
"YOU CHEATER! YOU SAID THAT I'M YOUR ONLY GIRL! WHY ARE YOU FLIRTING WITH ANOTHER WOMAN? AND YOU EVEN FLIRTING WITH BOYS!"
"What? What made you say that?"
"Look at this, you…you…!"
As Heiji denies the accusations, Kazuha angrily threw an envelope at his face and as he looked at the contents, he is surprised to see that the contents contain several pictures of him "cuddling" a woman, who is the human form of Mezeru (though this is obviously a fake), then saw a picture which caused Heiji to label it as "preposterous" and tries to defend himself, which resulted in an argument between the two, but then he noticed something and he stared wide-eyed, as the scene faded amid the screaming pitch from her and Kazari's voice entering the fray.
"Hey! I swear I didn't do this!"
"YOU LIAR!"
"Kazuha! Calm…huh? Who are you?"
"Calm yourself…and obey me…you…listen carefully if you value this girl…"

Three days later, the scene shifts to the Agasa house where Kyuji came down the stairs to find Hiroshi making a "Wanted: Help" sign, and is about to place it outside when Kyuji asked what the sign is for, which the professor replied with an answer stating that he planned on hiring a "househelp" to help him keep the house clean amid the pile of gadgets he invented, whole at the same time not wanting to impose himself on Shiho, as she is busy developing a cure for Shinichi, as well as coming up with an experiment to try and raise the adrenaline on Shinichi's body given his comatose state.
"Morning…huh?"
"Ah, good morning, Kyuji…go ahead…breakfast is ready…"
"What's with that?"
"I'm making a sign…"
"Hmm…"Help: Wanted"…why are making that?"
"Since you are busy looking after master Shinichi's body…and with Shiho working on a cure…I can't impose myself in you making more work in keeping the house clean…"
"Ah, it's no big deal…"
"Don't worry…your hands are full and I can't allow myself to take advantage of you and Shiho…"
Shiho overheard the conversation and reminded the professor that putting up the signboard may attract the Black Organization's attention, since they are hunter her and Shinichi, yet the professor assured to her that it won't happen.

Two days later, morning is relatively the same as always, as Kyuji came down to partake in breakfast, only this time he is surprised to see Shintaro Gotoh sweeping the floor, and then prepared breakfast for everyone, in which Shiho and Hiroshi prepared themselves to have a morning meal. As Gotoh tells Kyuji that the food would get cold if he doesn't eat them, Kyuji asked Gotoh what is going on.
"Morning…huh?"
"Morning…breakfast is ready…"
"What the…? Gotoh?"
"Better hurry up…the food will get cold…"
"You…what the…why are you…? Now way…"
"Just go eat your breakfast…the others are already at the dining table…"
"Before I do that…why are you here…?"
"Because…"
Gotoh tells Kyuji that he is taking a leave of absence from the Kougami Foundation for "personal reasons", and said that he found the "Help: Wanted" sign and told Agasa that he will take the job, and thus he is hired. By then Erika Satonaka came and tells Kyuji that Kougami has arrived from his European trip and wanted to speak to him, and even though he heard it, Gotoh chose not to come along, knowing why he took a leave from the foundation.
"Good morning…"
"Ah, Ms. Satonaka! Good morning!"
"…"
"Eh? Gotoh…? That's your co-worker…why not greet her…?"
"…"
"It's alright…Mr. Hino…will you come with me? President Kougami has returned from his trip and wishes to speak to you…"
"Right now?"
"Yes…right now and in person…"
Erika tells Kyuji that Kougami wanted to see him in person, and in private, thus the young vagabond reluctantly accepted and decided not to bring Ankh along as he felt that Kougami has something important to tell him, and guessed that the upcoming discussion may have something to do with the armored figure – Birth. He followed Erika and boarded the limousine as they are now heading for the Kougami Foundation.

Later, the scene shifts to the Tokyo border, where Heiji arrived and gets off the bus, with Kazuha following, still furious at Heiji, just as another person came down from the bus, who appeared to be Kazari, in his human guise, and the bus left as the passengers glances at Kazuha, having endured her screaming fit throughout the trip, and then the scene shifts back to the trio, and there a conversation took place.
"Okay…now we get things clear…"
"I don't know who you are…or what you did to Kazuha…"
"Now, now…let's not change the subject…"
"I don't care! What did you do to Kazuha?"
"I told you she is under my power and command…and may I remind you what you are tasked to do…"
"Bullshit!"
"You wish to save this girl, right…? If so…then agree to my terms…"
"You bastard…!"
"RRRRRRAAAAGGGGHHH! HEIJI, YOU TWO-TIMER!"
"Calm, my pretty…now is not the right time to unleash yourself…"
Kazari reminded Heiji why they came here and what the teen detective is tasked to do, yet Heiji could only glare at the Greed, as he eventually realized that Kazari did something to Kazuha which made her subservient to his verbal commands and finds himself and her under Kazari's mercy, and reluctantly agreeing to the demands and they all left and head to downtown Tokyo.
"Okay, whoever you are…"
"Call me Kazari…"
"If I do as what you told me to do…you'll release her, is that right?"
"Yes…"
"And if I did achieve what you wanted me to do…"
"That's right…"
"Then you better make sure you keep your word…"
"I always do…"
"…fine."
Heiji had to keep himself calm amid the furious threat from an angry Kazuha, and he felt that he is becoming an unwilling pawn and hoped to find a way to free her from Kazari's unseen control over her.

Hope you like the opening chapter of this arc, and this time Heiji and Kazuha are the focal points here, yet Shinichi will eventually become the spotlight here, but for now, take a lot of guesses at what Kazari did to Kazuha that made Heiji forced to do the Greed's bidding. The answer will eventually be revealed and you'll be surprised as to how and why this has happened.
Kousei Kougami is back…and he wants to talk to Kyuji, and it's definite that the discussion will be centered on Birth…and something else. The clue is already there judging from the chapter title…
Lastly, the ending song...it's one of the series' OST, especially it highlights a new for for O's as well as it uses Ankh's Core medals, which will soon show up in the upcoming chapters of this arc.
Preview:
Kougami will air his reason for summoning Kyuji, and this will cover the Birth System, his trip to Europe, and about the remaining Greed, which would make things a bit tense.
Also, Bourbon shows up and his "sub-group" within the Black Organization will make its debut.
