Spoiler:
As for Heiji-kazuha-momiji triangle..! i know OVAs don't have any significant matter to the main storyline.. but in the one i guess 9 or 10 where conan never changes to shinichi in that there was shown that heiji and kazuha will get married ..though irrespective as i said but i must have been there to show the time change and therefore they have been tied together because they were meant to be . So , Momiji being just a mere stalker or being with BO( eh? i think it would be IF BO identified heiji being together with conan (tho it's probability is very very low . as said by others Okita probably she will end with him (maybe just maybe) .
As k11chi said they don't know him as much, he did something for the must be the fact.. because we still don't know how will be the chapter end after the 974's RAW are out ..! Let's see

Now that we have access to every page of File 974, it seems that Shinichi/Conan never thought about any reason why she called him "wizard," at all. He just went into thinking about Shukichi and Mary, after the flashback ended.

So until further notice (i.e., Shinichi/Conan actually thinks about why Masumi would call him "wizard," in, say, File 975), I'm just going to assume that Masumi has only one reason for calling him wizard (because he made Shuichi smile and laugh when she couldn't), and that one reason is the one her inner monologue on the last panel of Page 16 of File 974 is referring to.

In other words, I'm assuming Shinichi/Conan hasn't realized Masumi calls him "wizard" because he made Shuichi smile and laugh when she couldn't.

I was a bit disappointed that Sera not only lost the spotlight of the flashback, but that she didn't have something new to reveal at the end. Without a doubt however, I thoroughly enjoyed Shuu and the family's development overall and how we not only got to see the way they interact, but also a side of them we've never seen(Mary and Akai at the very least).

The way Sera emphasizes "Real" reason makes me wonder if there's another layer(like a certain reference) to the "wizard" nickname, besides the Akai-smiling-thingy. I would like to give Gosho some benefit of the doubt, but for now, I'm sticking with your assumption.

Well, it'd have to be something he did during that case that wasn't making Shuichi smile and laugh.

He showed off his knowledge of accordions, clowns, pierrots, and watches, during their encounter.

She blushed at him on three occasions:

1) When he calls himself "Holmes' apprentice" (and just after he made Shuichi laugh for the first time)

2) When he pointed out the 10:10 time on the culprit's watch and why that made her the culprit

3) When she calls him a "wizard" (and just after he made Shuichi laugh for the second time)

She called him a "wizard" just after he made Shuichi laugh for the second time, so it seems that is what prompted her to call Shinichi a wizard.

Thus, it comes off as if that's "the real" reason she called Shinichi a "wizard," and Shinichi/Conan simply hasn't realized that (yet).

I just don't know what it could be besides that, or because he was a kid detective who could truly call himself Holmes' apprentice (she must've heard Shuichi say that people from the U.K. would be proud of him).

In other words, if it's not him making Shuichi laugh and smile, and it's not about him not only calling himself "Holmes' apprentice," but being worthy of said title (according to Shuichi), then I don't know why Masumi called Shinichi a "wizard."

I don't think they had any opportunity to meet again, so I think you have listed all the possible reasons. Or Masumi had met Shinichi even before and we will have another flashback lol.

Considering that Masumi and Conan didn't directly speak after the end of the flashback, and that Masumi thinks that Conan has remembered the events of 10 years ago, but doesn't think he knows the real reason, it would probably be something from outside of the flashback. For example, Masumi keeping up with Shinichi or Conan's accomplishments and getting something from there, OR the fact that he just kind of appears every time her family needs him.
I hope that I can find someway to contribute to the community even if it's just random crack theories and looking things up for people who can't find the information they need.

Masumi also blushed almost everytime she looked at her oldest brother, also when she saw him with Scotch at the station 4 years ago. We haven't seen much interaction between Shuichi and Masumi in this case, which let me down a little bit as Shuichi seemed to pay more attention to Shinichi than his own little sister. Hope to see more interactions between Shuichi and Masumi in upcoming flashbacks cos I'm curious about why Masumi misses/loves her oldest brother so much even though he didn't spend much time with her.

Shuichi Akai is British. He just got so much hotter.

HAHAHAHAHA

I wonder if anyone's ever figured that out when Shuichi said "fear of death is worse than death itself" in english during the Kir arc. Or do you guys think he adopted an American accent?

In that case, it could be almost anything.

Eh, maybe...

We've yet to see the explanation of the "bad girl" line, as well as why Ran remembers Masumi running away from her—the latter scene did not appear during the case. Maybe we'll get an explanation for both when Ran remembers the events of the case.

Spoiler:
about why Sera call Shinichi "wizard", I think it's because Shinichi can makes Shuichi laugh in the past. And now, she's pretty sure that Shinichi is a wizard because of his deducation.

About a new detective, what about Marry? Can she be that new detective? I think her skill is good enough tobe a detective. ;D

Did anyone notice the usage of the word 'curiosity' in this file?
Shuichi uses it, just as his father used.
Remember Amuro used it as well in Bourbon arc?
There might be a connection.

What I noticed is that Mary never smiles(even when comparing her son to her husband in a somewhat happy way). That's a clear explanation to why Sera thought it was very creepy to see her stern mother smile(after Kichi won the shogi tournament).

I believe what that's trying to point out is that his father was a curious person which in the end got him stuck with some dangerous people. I'd guess he was a journalist still. Shuiichi saying that line was probably just supposed to show that they share similar traits.
