A list of the cases in which Young Justice Bao plagiarized Detective Conan
Season One
Unit One: "Fame Across the Land" was based on "The Night Before the Wedding Murder Case" (Detective Conan) and "Conan vs. Kaitou Kid" (Detective Conan)
Unit Two: "The Blood Sacrifice Altar" was based on "The Tarot Manor Murder Case" (The Kindaichi Case Files)
Unit Three: "The Mystery of Secluded Village" was based on "The Murder Case at the Ayanokouji Village" (The Kindaichi Case Files), with the plot copied outright
Unit Four: "Glory Before the Throne" was based on "The Hanging Academy Murder Case" (The Kindaichi Case Files), "The Akechi Files" (The Kindaichi Case Files), and "The Chairman's Daughter Kidnapping Case" (Detective Conan)
Unit Five: "The Five Rats Stir Up the Chancellor's Estate" was based on "The 7:30 P.M. Murder Case" (Detective Conan), "The Holmes Freak Murder Case" (Detective Conan), and "The Antique Collector Murder Case" (Detective Conan)
Unit Six: "Illusion of Magic". I haven’t watched this unit, but I heard it copied one of Akechi’s cases. It also seems to borrow from "The Strange Circus Murder Case" in The Kindaichi Case Files.
Unit Seven: "The Dragon Robbery" was based on "The Bloodstained Youth Idol" (Detective Conan) and "The Kindaichi Case Files: The Kindaichi Boy's Murder Case"
Famous lines:
"All the mysteries have been solved!" (The Kindaichi Case Files)
"There is only one truth!" (Detective Conan)
Hmph. Instead of calling it Young Justice Bao, they might as well have called it The Case Files of a Young Bao Qingtian or Detective Bao Zheng.
The second season doesn’t seem to have any cases that were copied or directly lifted.
Season Three
1. Mulan disguises herself as a man to avenge her lover: the plot is the same as "The Kindaichi Case Files: The Tragedy of the Hihara Island Murder Case."
2. A murder committed through music: "The Phantom Music Hall Murder Case" from Detective School Q, with exactly the same plot.
3. The character for "wood" is formed from pieces of paper as a dying message: Detective School Q, chapter 38, A vs. Q, with exactly the same plot.
5. Many people wear identical bracelets: a plot point from "The Snow Shadow Village Murder Case" in The Kindaichi Case Files.
6. The Three Divine Artifacts: the same plot point as in "The Demon Ruins Murder Case" from The Kindaichi Case Files.
7. The killer’s name is written on the edge of a stack of paper, which is then scattered across the floor as a dying message. Bao Zheng makes a false deduction and then corrects it. These details and the reasoning about Mr. Luo Qiang’s murder are exactly the same as in "The Legend of Princess Maya Murder Case" from Detective School Q.
8. Salt is scattered on the ground to make footprints that appear when it snows, creating an alibi: "The Snow Shadow Village Murder Case" from The Kindaichi Case Files, with exactly the same plot.
9. The body is heated to make the time of death seem earlier: the same principle is used in the D.D.S. Institute of Science case in Detective School Q.
10. A string is threaded through the corpse’s hand and pulled outside the door to pass the key into the room and create a locked-room mystery: "The Diplomat Murder Case" from Detective Conan, with exactly the same plot.
11. Mrs. Meizi is murdered: "The Mystery of the Home Economics Classroom" from Detective School Q, with exactly the same plot.
12. The victim closes the door himself and willingly lets himself be killed: "The Luxury Liner Murder Case" from Detective Conan and "The Ayanokouji Village Murder Case" from The Kindaichi Case Files: Wakaba.
13. In "The Masked Killer" case, the burning locked room and the immovable stone mortar: the "gasoline drum principle" in "The Strange Circus Murder Case" from The Kindaichi Case Files, and "The Legend of Princess Maya Murder Case" from Detective School Q, with exactly the same plot.
14. A clue from the child playing the "Headless Ghost" game: "The Headless Woman of Maze Alley" from Detective School Q, with exactly the same plot.
15. The body is first placed beneath a cliff, then the killer stages a plunge from the cliff: the Kinta incident in Detective School Q, with exactly the same principle.
16. Zhang Xi is murdered in a locked room, with a key left beside him: the double locked room in "The Tragedy at Kaitojima" from Detective School Q, with exactly the same plot.
The line "The next one to die might be you, or it might be me" is said by Amakusa Ryu after he deduces the double locked room in "The Tragedy at Kaitojima" from Detective School Q.
17. Many people have the character "moon" in their names: "The Amakusa Treasure Legend Murder Case" from The Kindaichi Case Files, with exactly the same plot.
18. White hair is found beside the corpse: the white hair left by the White-Haired Demon in "The Amakusa Treasure Legend Murder Case" from The Kindaichi Case Files, a case of the same idea expressed in a different way.
19. A treasure-hunting detector made from two iron rods is introduced, and later someone mistakenly thinks they have found treasure, only to be given a fright: "The Amakusa Treasure Legend Murder Case" from The Kindaichi Case Files, with exactly the same plot.
20. The entire treasure-hunting story: "The Amakusa Treasure Legend Murder Case" from The Kindaichi Case Files, with a similar plot.
21. Feng Da is murdered: "The Strange Circus Murder Case" from The Kindaichi Case Files, with exactly the same plot.
22. Huo Jia Hanzang and another person are murdered in a different valley, where two circles are left as a dying message. There are two connected castles and a passageway: "The Hidden Village Murder Case" from Detective School Q, with exactly the same plot. Tianmang and Tianhua, seriously?
23. In Xiaoman’s "murder," a ball is placed under her arm to hide her pulse: "The 20-Year-Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony No. 1 Serial Murder Case" from Detective Conan.
P.S. The Three Divine Artifacts in Young Justice Bao 3 are actually connected to The King of Fighters: Iori Yagami, Kyo Kusanagi, and Chizuru Kagura. And the background music! I thought it sounded familiar from the very beginning, but only remembered after listening for a while. Two tracks are from the classic PC game Heroes of Might and Magic III. The especially gloomy one plays when you visit an Obelisk, and another plays at the start of each turn. Did anyone else notice?

Also, the breaking point in each case is something that may not necessarily happen. For example, one time the murderer arranged the arrangement of going up and downstairs, and Kogoro Mori put a broken toy under the sofa as evidence. It was too ridiculous.
It's so amazing... The author is Ohno Takato~
