By Episode 487, the "Metropolitan Police Love Story" series had already become a beloved sub-franchise within Detective Conan. These episodes focus exclusively on the romantic tension and professional dangers faced by the officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), particularly Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi.

Episode 487 is the eighth installment of this series. It follows the massive character development from previous episodes (like the infamous "Emergency 100" case) and raises the stakes to an almost unbearable level. The title, "The Left Hand Ring Finger," is a direct reference to the finger traditionally reserved for wedding rings, signaling that this episode is all about commitment and destiny.

The episode opens with a seemingly routine investigation. A man named Susumu Hatamoto has been murdered inside a sealed room. The room is bizarrely decorated with Okame masks and Hannya masks (traditional Japanese Noh masks representing women and demons, respectively). When the police arrive, they discover that the victim’s left hand is missing—specifically, the ring finger.

Conan, Ran, and Kogoro happen to be nearby, leading to the usual collaboration. However, the focus quickly shifts away from the locked-room mystery and onto Takagi and Sato.

During a private preview in the soundproof archive room, the lights flicker and go out for ten seconds. When the emergency lights activate, Shima is found slumped over his desk, dead from a stab wound to the neck with a tuning fork. The priceless sheet music for his final masterpiece is missing.

The door was locked from the inside, and the only key was in Shima’s pocket. The window is sealed shut.

The episode begins with Detective Sato wearing a ring on her left hand ring finger (the traditional engagement/wedding ring finger). The entire Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department panics, assuming she is engaged to Takagi. However, Takagi is confused because he never proposed.

The Main Story: The police department is hosting an annual marathon. During the race, a hit-and-run accident occurs, and the suspect escapes on foot, blending in with the runners. Takagi and Sato investigate, but their personal tension distracts them.

The Twist: Sato reveals that the ring is not an engagement ring, but a "protective charm" given to her by Officer Wataru Date (her late former partner who died in the line of duty). Date gave it to her before a dangerous mission, telling her to return it only when she finds true happiness. Sato has kept it for years.

As Takagi and Sato pursue the hit-and-run suspect, Takagi ends up in a life-threatening situation, similar to Officer Date’s final case. Sato panics, fearing history will repeat itself. However, Takagi successfully captures the criminal and survives.

The Ending: Sato finally takes off the ring, places it on a memorial plaque for Officer Date, and tearfully tells Takagi: “I’m ready to move on.” The episode ends with them walking off together, officially becoming a couple. Takagi jokes about buying a real ring, and Sato smiles.
