### Night Baron Murder Case (Manga: [72-77](/wiki/Volume_8#Night_Baron_Murder_Case "Volume 8"), Anime: [68-70](/wiki/Night_Baron_Murder_Case "Night Baron Murder Case"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Satoru_Maeda&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Night Baron Murder Case (Manga: 72-77, Anime: 68-70)")]
Satoru as the Night Baron.
He and his fiancée are two of the ten participants of the Izu mystery tour, getting to know Ran while protecting her from the hassles of one of them. During they stay at the hotel, the latter is murdered. To relieve the perpetrator, his fiancée, who avenged her older brother's suicide after the victim hacked his computer software company's work three years ago, he does not tell the police that he owns an alibi for the time of the murder, steals the [Night Baron](/wiki/Night_Baron "Night Baron")'s costume and shows himself to her, Ran, and [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa"). Thus, his best childhood friend's sister is relieved. Even as [Sleeping Kogoro](/wiki/Kogoro_Mouri "Kogoro Mouri") designates her as the perpetrator, he still tries to cover her and presents himself as the culprit. Although she tries to make it clear during her arrest that he should forget her, he wants to wait for her. He is also arrested for disruption of justice. However, according to [Yokomizo](/wiki/Sango_Yokomizo "Sango Yokomizo"), he is likely to get a lighter sentence due to the circumstances of his crimes and his own good behavior beforehand.
### Judo Champion Case (Manga: (/wiki/Volume_62#Judo_Champion_Case "Volume 62"), Anime: (/wiki/Might_Over_Mystery "Might Over Mystery"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Satoru_Maeda&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Judo Champion Case (Manga: 643, Anime: 528)")]
[Eri](/wiki/Eri_Kisaki "Eri Kisaki") invites Ran and Conan to dinner along with a friend and client. While eating at a hotel restaurant, the judo martial artist tells them she strongly admires her former judo senpai and the current coach of Japan's judo team, and watching him on TV is the reason she started judo. Then, since she's the same as her, Ran remembers her admiration for him.
