Ai losing her sweater gave them a legitimate reason to hide in the truck longer, and this caused them to discover the body.
Spoiler:
As for the coded receipt, didn't he just white out a bunch of letters so it said "Corpse"? That's not a very complicated code, and Conan has already been identified as a bit brighter than most kids. The only weird part is that he knows an English word for bodies at such a young age, but he could explain that away as being brought up in one of Kogoro's previous cases or something.
Spoiler:
Yeah, I hadn't seen the actual code at that point, was just posting based off of what I read here so I didn't realize it was such a simple code. And @Nix, to be fair I don't think this would draw too much attention to Conan actually because the cat is a pretty unreliable method of transport, think about it the receipt easily could have fallen out of its collar or even been taken out by the cat (in my experience, cats hate that kind of stuff lol). Plus as far as I can tell the receipt doesn't seem to say specifically where the corpse is, making it look even more childish due to its inaccuracy. Bourbon will probably have to deduce where they are based on the information from the receipt. The more Bourbon has to deduce the less suspicious it makes Conan.

Someone hacked DCW/or there were problems with bad ads/I don't know exactly. DCW is currently having malware problems because of it. The site administrator Maurice is probably working on it right now, but it seems to be a somewhat complicated issue because it has been going on for several days. I hope the problem gets resolved soon. I'm staying away until it turns up clean. DCTP should be fine though, so I don't know why chrome is freaking out. Maybe it is images from the wiki that have been hotlinked here?

Didn't realize DCW had been hacked, but it's odd because it's just this page, not any others on the forums so far... and there's no images on this page... only avvies and Prof's sig

The only thing from DCW that I can see on this page were my links in my sig to certain posts on DCW. (Which I removed) There were no images from DCW... That is strange.
Edit: ShadowGuy's avatar is from DCW. Maybe that did it? If Chrome is flipping out over images from DCW's wiki, DCTP is going to have a bad time because there are quite a few. You could try clicking the Scar Akai link in my sig, that post has an image from DCW's wiki hotlinked. If the problem turns up again, that's probably the reason.

Well it must be shadowguy's avatar, because I was having problems since before you posted. Ah well, guess I'll be using Firefox for a bit then. Hope DCW's issues are resolved soon, was just about to introduce a friend to the show and I need those episode descriptions!
Edit: And I just checked on Chrome, other pages with posts of yours still work for me, but it won't let me follow the Scar Akai link.

There better be an actual reason for why Ai lost her sweater.
How many plots in or around the Bourbon ark has had Haibara nudity/undies jokes at this point? The number seems to be rising fast.
Can you refresh my memory of this matter? I don't remember any of this beside the latest file...
1.) KID case where Conan mentioned to Ai that he was looking up her skirt (why he does this idk).
2.) Bathhouse where a joke was Conan seeing Ai (and Ayumi) full nude.

I don't think those were in the Bourbon arc, if so then that's because the arc has lasted so damn long. Besides a total of 3 throughout the series isn't really that big of a deal... and its funnier when its Haibara because she has the modesty of an adult but the body of a child, making it worse for her when it happens. None of the other DB would have reacted nearly as harshly or hilariously to what happened in the bathhouse. And its been done in other ways than just nudity, like when she asks if Akai is a loli-con. I understand why it bothers people, especially because in this case its not really for comedy, but I just don't think its really something to get upset about.
Gotta love all the hype we get from plot. I'm happy that there's finally some plot.
Bourbon seems like an interesting character who loves to play dumb - now I get why Gin absolutely hates him.
I still feel that Conan's decision to get help from Bourbon was crazy. Now that Bourbon's exposed to Agasa's house, he's gonna start digging more, and it'll only be a matter of time when he finds out about the relationship between the prof and Shinichi.
Not that I mind. More Bourbon activities = more plot

Spoiler:
Yes, I agree that Bourbon has the potential to find out the true identities of Conan and/or Ai. The question then becomes: what will he do upon finding out? Will he do as Vermouth did (i.e. keep it to himself) or as Pisco attempted to do (i.e. report it to the rest of the BO)?

Spoiler:
I just had a crazy thought. Maybe Bourbon will repeat what Vermouth did and kidnap Sherry. Then Akai goes to save her and have a fight with Bourbon. Following the Gundam storyline, Amuro should become allies with Akai. If Sera is basically a repeat of Eisuke, Gosho could do the same to Amuro, kind of throwing all the BO members into this mess Well, looking forward to how Gosho will sort this out.
Honestly, if Bourbon finds out about Shinichi and decides to tell his "comrade" Vermouth, we shouldn't really worry. I bet that Vermy will go out of her way trying to save Conan's ass.
However, if he decides to work on his own, then an Okiya vs Bourbon mind game will be almost inevitable. Which would be nice.
Well, looking forward to how Gosho will sort this out.
