    Detective Conan Episode 1028 "Ballad
    of the Woman Who Loved Cake"
[00:00] Conan
    [OP]
[00:05] Mitsuhiko
    I'm absolutely certain. It's this building.
[00:10] Genta
    Just the thought of this mansion becoming
    a factory that makes tasty cakes...

[00:18] Ayumi
    Is kind of exciting.
[00:24] Ayumi
    I want shortcake and mont blanc.
[00:27] Mitsuhiko
    In that case, I'd like
    cheesecake and apple pie.
[00:30] Genta
    Then I want chocolate cake,
    roll cake, pancakes, and flapjacks.
[00:37] Mitsuhiko
    You're being too greedy, Genta-kun.
[00:43] Ayumi
    Huh?
[00:44] Ayumi
    Hey, isn't that...?
[00:46] Genta
    Is that real?
[00:48] Mitsuhiko
    Yeah, right.
[01:10] Sign
    Private Property
    Do Not Enter
[01:11] Conan
    This must be the place.
[01:26] Conan
    Finally arriving after
    swaying back and forth,
[01:28] Conan
    draw close to mysteries and
    begin deducing the truth!
[01:30] Conan
    The shadow of a woman moves
    through a ruined building!
[01:31] Conan
    In the air is the smell of
    something sweet and a case!
[01:33] Conan
    Always determining the one truth
[01:35] Conan
    with the body of a child
    and the mind of an adult,
[01:37] Conan
    his name is Detective Conan!
SIGN    Ballad of the Woman Who Loved Cake
[03:12] Conan
    "Ballad of the Woman Who Loved Cake!"
[03:18] Conan
    Pull yourselves together, guys.
[03:20] Conan
    What happened?
[03:26] Conan
    What? A corpse came back to life?
[03:28] Genta
    It's true, Conan!
[03:30] Mitsuhiko
    A-A-A hand reached out from beneath the debris!
[03:33] Ayumi
    It started moving, and a
    woman wearing red emerged!
[03:41] Conan
    Looks like that zombie is injured.
[03:45] Ayumi
    If we follow this trail of blood...
[03:47] Mitsuhiko
    Then we'll learn the true
    identity of that lady zombie.
[03:52] Genta
    How far does this trail go, though?
SIGN    Western Confections
[03:56] Conan
    Huh? Isn't this place...
[03:59] All
    Western Confections Paradise.
[04:02] Conan
    Huh? Isn't that woman...
[04:06] Mitsuhiko
    Apparently there's a desolate
    building outside Haido City
[04:09] Mitsuhiko
    where they're planning to establish
    a new factory for this bakery.
[04:12] Genta
    A desolate building? What's that?
[04:15] Mitsuhiko
    An old building no longer in use by anyone.
[04:19] Genta
    Sounds interesting. Let's check it out.
[04:21] Ayumi
    We don't have school next
    Thursday, so let's go then.
[04:24] Conan
    I wouldn't do that if I were you.
[04:27] Conan
    Jeez.
[04:34] Conan
    The same woman is in the same seat
    eating the same cake as last week.
[04:39] Mitsuhiko
    She's pretty.
[04:41] Genta
    Yeah, but she's wearing really dirty clothes.
[04:46] Conan
    Those stains...
[04:47] Mitsuhiko
    Aren't they a similar color to that debris?
[04:50] Ayumi
    Then maybe...
[04:51] Genta
    She's the lady zombie?
[04:55] Employee
    Thank you.
[04:59] Mitsuhiko
    Her ankle is injured.
[05:01] Genta
    It's gotta be her.
[05:10] Mitsuhiko
    The lady zombie is angry.
[05:13] Conan
    After her!
[05:14] Ayumi
    Wait, Conan-kun!
[05:30] Genta
    She entered a building.
[05:32] Conan
    This is Western Confections
    Paradise's main factory.

    C-Call the police.
[06:31] Hiroshi
    And let everyone in the

[06:35] Yayoi
    Understood.
[06:37] Hiroshi
    I'll tell my wife.
[06:40] Yayoi
    Yes, sir.
[06:47] Hiroshi
    This is my wife's handkerchief.
[06:49] Hiroshi
    Could she have done this?
[06:54] Hanako
    Hello? What's wrong?
[06:58] Hanako
    What? The president's been murdered?
[07:01] Hanako
    He drowned in red bean paste?
[07:02] Hiroshi
    Yes. Anyway, where are you now?
[07:06] Hiroshi
    I see. In that case...
[07:08] Hanako
    What? Let's have lunch at the apartment?
[07:12] Hiroshi
    Last night's leftover sukiyaki over rice?
[07:15] Hiroshi
    Yeah, that'll do.

[07:28] Genta
    Do you think the lady zombie
    is connected to the case?
[07:32] Conan
    I don't know yet.
[07:34] Ayumi
    The Detective Boys are on the case.
[07:37] Conan
    What? Hey.
[07:38] Mitsuhiko
    Let's split up and gather information.
[07:40] Conan
    Hey.
[07:41] Genta
    Conan, you watch the crime scene.
[07:43] Conan
    Wait.
[07:44] Mitsuhiko
    Detective Boys, roll out!
[07:46] All
    Yeah!
SIGN    Western Confections
[07:49] Takagi
    The deceased is Western Confections Paradise
    company president Ogawa Akira-san, 35 years old.
[07:55] Takagi
    He apparently suffocated
    to death when his face
[07:58] Takagi
    was pushed into a sink
    filled with red bean paste.
[08:00] Megure
    What an eccentric murder.
[08:03] Megure
    Was the victim making a huge amount
    of red bean soup or something?
[08:06] Kogoro
    Despite being the president of
    a Western confections factory,
[08:08] Kogoro
    he apparently had become absorbed
    in Japanese sweet-making recently.
[08:12] Kogoro
    Imagine being killed by the red
    bean paste you made yourself.
[08:15] Megure
    Wh-What are you doing here?
[08:18] Kogoro
    I thought I'd assist with the investigation
[08:21] Kogoro
    since I'm already here to pick
    up the kids as their guardian.
[08:23] Kogoro
    So, where's the boy?
[08:26] Takagi
    He was around here until a moment ago.
[08:29] Police
    Inspector, I've brought the
    people who discovered the body.
[08:34] Megure
    I'm sorry to trouble you when you're already
    tired, but we have a few questions for you.
SIGN    Ogawa Hiroshi (29)
    Western Confections Paradise VP
[08:39] Megure
    You're the victim Ogawa Akira-san's younger
    brother and Vice President Ogawa Hiroshi-san
[08:44] Megure
    and the president's secretary
    Ito Yayoi-san, correct?
SIGN    Ito Yayoi (31)
    President's Secretary
[08:48] Megure
    The estimated time of death is 12PM.
[08:51] Takagi
    It's not that you're suspects,
    but where were you at that time?
[08:56] Yayoi
    Around that time, I was crushed
    beneath some concrete.
[09:00] Takagi
    What? C-Crushed beneath concrete?
[09:03] Yayoi
    At the ruined building where we're
    planning to build our new factory.
[09:06] Takagi
    Ruined building?
[09:07] Yayoi
    I was suppose to meet the president there.
[09:11] Yayoi
    We were going to elope.
[09:13] Hiroshi
    What?!
[09:14] Yayoi
    We were in love.
[09:18] Yayoi
    But... no matter how long I waited,
    the president never showed up.
[09:23] Yayoi
    I became overwhelmed by sadness
    and went on a violent rampage.
[09:27] Yayoi
    Then the concrete fell,
    crushing me beneath it.
[09:32] Yayoi
    Apparently I was unconscious for
    some time until I was awoken
[09:38] Yayoi
    by the dreadful voices of the Detective Boys.
[09:40] Yayoi
    Those children can attest
    to what happened after that.
[09:43] Yayoi
    I should thank them.
[09:47] Conan
    So she knew we were following her.
[09:51] Takagi
    Hiroshi-san, what were you
    doing around that time?
[09:54] Hiroshi
    I returned to my apartment
    to have lunch with my wife.
[09:58] Hiroshi
    We had last night's leftover
    sukiyaki over rice.
[10:03] Mitsuhiko
    Conan-kun.
[10:05] Conan
    How'd it go?
[10:06] Mitsuhiko
    A lot of facts have come to light.
[10:09] Mitsuhiko
    The president was trying to develop Japanese
    sweets to sell at Western Confections Paradise,
[10:14] Mitsuhiko
    but the VP was strongly opposed,
    which caused friction between them.
[10:18] Hanako
    Hiroshi-san!
[10:20] Hiroshi
    Ah, Hanako. Over here.
[10:23] Conan
    So, that's the VP's wife?
SIGN    Ogawa Hanako (28)
    Hiroshi's Wife
[10:26] Mitsuhiko
    Yes.
[10:27] Mitsuhiko
    His wife sided with the VP and
    also opposed the president.
[10:32] Takagi
    Ma'am, where were you around 12PM today?
[10:35] Hanako
    I was at home with Hiroshi-san.
[10:38] Hanako
    We were eating beef bowls for lunch.
[10:40] Conan
    She's matching her husband's
    lie and fabricating an alibi.
[10:45] Conan
    The VP and his wife both think the other
    did it and are protecting each other.
[10:51] Ayumi
    The VP's wife is a rude lady.
[10:54] Ayumi
    She bumped into me when she got out of
    her red car at the bottom of the steps.
[10:59] Ayumi
    But she smelled nice, like she'd just gotten
    out of the shower after shampooing her hair.
[11:04] Conan
    A red car, shampoo...
[11:07] Genta
    I got a bunch of information, too.
[11:10] Genta
    Apparently the murdered president
    planned to convince the VP
[11:15] Genta
    and his wife who opposed him and build a
    Japanese sweets factory in that ruined building.
[11:19] Conan
    The ruined building, debris...
[11:22] Megure
    Anyway, Ito-san, you seem to know a lot
    about the situation at your company
[11:27] Megure
    and the condition of your employees.
[11:30] Yayoi
    Yes.
[11:31] Yayoi
    Though my title is the president's secretary, I'm
    responsible for taking care of the entire company.
[11:37] Hiroshi
    She always assists us with the details.
[11:41] Ayumi
    You know, that lady...
[11:43] Genta
    Isn't a zombie at all.
[11:45] Mitsuhiko
    Yeah, she's an ordinary pretty lady.
[11:48] Conan
    Come to think of it, she said she was
    grateful your terrified voices woke her up.
[11:55] All
    What?
[11:57] Ayumi
    The thing is...
[11:58] Genta
    It was actually...
[12:00] Mitsuhiko
    The other way around.
[12:01] Conan
    The other way around?
[12:02] Ayumi
    She's not wrong.
[12:05] Mitsuhiko
    We did scream in terror.
[12:07] Genta
    But it was because she came back to life.
[12:11] Conan
    Guys, tell me more about that.
[12:20] Takagi
    Everyone, if you could
    please wait down below.
[12:24] Megure
    Confirm their alibis.
[12:27] Takagi
    Yes, sir.
[12:27] Kogoro
    Anyway, where did those kids go?
[12:32] Yayoi
    We need to discuss what
    we're going to do next.
[12:36] Hiroshi
    You're right.
[12:37] Yayoi
    Let's hold an emergency
    meeting in your office.
[12:40] Hanako
    Right now?
[12:42] Yayoi
    The sooner, the better.
[12:44] Yayoi
    I'm sure we'll come up with a good
    solution while eating something sweet.
[12:58] Hiroshi
    Wh-What's wrong with that kid?
[13:02] Hiroshi
    How did you get in here?
[13:03] Hanako
    Hiroshi-san, wait!
[13:13] Hiroshi
    What's your problem?
[13:15] Conan
    Your wife didn't do it.
[13:20] Sign
    Vice President's Office
[13:23] Hanako
    Hiroshi-san, what was that about?
[13:25] Hiroshi
    Apparently some kids had entered the woods,
[13:30] Hiroshi
    but I couldn't find them.
[13:32] Yayoi
    It was probably the Detective Boys.
[13:36] Yayoi
    I need to contact someone
    regarding something.
[13:39] Yayoi
    You two go ahead and eat without me.
[13:42] Yayoi
    I'll be right back.
[13:46] Kogoro
    Where did that kid go?
[13:49] Kogoro
    Hey, you kids.
[13:51] All
    Hello.
[13:52] Kogoro
    It's just you kids?
[13:54] Kogoro
    Where's four-eyes?
[13:56] All
    He went that way.
[13:57] Kogoro
    That way? All right.
[13:59] Kogoro
    Don't wander around too much, kids.
[14:02] All
    Okay.
[14:03] Conan
    Hey, Detective Takagi.
[14:05] Takagi
    Conan-kun?! Mori-san's been looking for you.
[14:09] Conan
    Yeah, sure.
[14:10] Conan
    Anyway, he said he wanted forensics
    to look into something for him.
[14:15] Takagi
    What?
[14:18] Yayoi
    Excuse me.
[14:41] Yayoi
    Oh, do the Detective Boys like cake as well?
[14:45] All
    Yeah.
[14:46] Yayoi
    I see.
[14:47] Yayoi
    I enjoy cake, too.
[14:51] Yayoi
    Or rather, I love it dearly.
[14:55] Yayoi
    I haven't thanked you yet.
[14:57] All
    Thanked us?
[14:58] Yayoi
    For testifying that you found me crushed
    beneath concrete in the ruined building.
[15:05] Yayoi
    Thank you, Detective Boys.
[15:08] Yayoi
    I sensed you fearfully entering
    the ruined building then.
[15:17] Mitsuhiko
    We were laughing then.
[15:22] Ayumi
    Then a woman came back to life.
[15:27] Yayoi
    Oh, is that right?
[15:30] Conan
    You used the Detective Boys
    to fabricate an alibi.
[15:35] Conan
    Isn't that right?
[15:37] Yayoi
    What are you talking about?
[15:40] Kogoro
    Hey!
[15:41] Kogoro
    I finally found you.
[15:43] Kogoro
    How dare you wandering around the crime
    scene like some little wandering...
[15:50] Yayoi
    Hey! He's so heavy...
[15:53] Kogoro
    This case is the sad ballad
    of a woman who loves cake.
[15:58] Yayoi
    The sad ballad of a woman who loves cake?
[16:01] Yayoi
    What is this old dude talking about?
[16:02] Yayoi
    Wait, where is his voice coming from?
[16:05] Kogoro
    Listen to what I have to say
    as we dance a waltz together.
[16:09] Yayoi
    What?!
[16:14] Ayumi
    They're...
[16:15] Genta
    ...dancing a waltz.
[16:17] Kogoro
    This ballad began one week ago at the Western
    Confections Paradise cake shop in Haido City,
[16:23] Kogoro
    when the woman who loves cake learned of the
    Detective Boys' plan to explore a ruined building.
[16:30] Kogoro
    This morning, the woman who loves
    cake went to said ruined building.
[16:35] Kogoro
    Using a long thread and plywood boards,
[16:37] Kogoro
    she rigged some debris to fall automatically.
[16:42] Kogoro
    Conan found signs of this contrivance
    in the ruined structure.
[16:46] Kogoro
    On the path between the ruined building
    and Western Confections Paradise,
[16:50] Kogoro
    she left a trail of blood beforehand
    so the Detective Boys would follow it.
[16:56] Kogoro
    She returned to the office and waited for
    the right moment to speak to the VP's wife.
[17:00] Yayoi
    I'm sorry.
[17:02] Yayoi
    The president forgot some documents
    at the new factory site.
[17:06] Hanako
    No problem.
[17:09] Kogoro
    The VP's wife headed to the
    ruined building in a red car,
[17:13] Kogoro
    where she triggered the tripwire
    and was crushed beneath the debris.
[17:18] Kogoro
    And then...
[17:22] Kogoro
    Awoken by the laughter of the
    Detective Boys who had arrived,
[17:26] Kogoro
    she failed to notice their presence
    and hastily left out of fear.
[17:32] Kogoro
    At that time, Conan saw a red
    car driving down the hill.
[17:37] Kogoro
    Since the VP's wife didn't return to
    the office until after the murder,
[17:41] Kogoro
    she must've returned home and taken a shower.
[17:46] Kogoro
    Meanwhile, the woman who loves cake
[17:49] Kogoro
    headed to the president's office
    as though nothing had happened.
[17:52] Kogoro
    She waited for an opportunity
    to kill the president,
[17:56] Kogoro
    left behind the VP's wife's handkerchief
    she'd stolen beforehand, and left.
[18:03] Kogoro
    The VP and his wife suspected each other.
[18:06] Kogoro
    The lies they told ultimately fabricated
    an alibi for the woman who loves cake.
[18:12] Kogoro
    For the woman who loves cake,
[18:14] Kogoro
    predicting the VP and his wife's actions
    and manipulating them was a simple task.
[18:19] Kogoro
    After all, she's the secretary.
[18:21] Kogoro
    Then the woman who loves cake waited.
[18:24] Kogoro
    She wore clothes similar to the VP's
    wife, stained her ankle with blood,
[18:29] Kogoro
    and ate cake while she waited,
[18:33] Kogoro
    as though waiting for a lover,
[18:36] Kogoro
    for the Detective Boys to follow the trail.
[18:40] Kogoro
    And that's how the Detective Boys
    were used to fabricate an alibi
[18:46] Kogoro
    for the sad woman who loves cake.
[18:49] Yayoi
    Why are you looking at me like that?
[18:51] Yayoi
    What proof is there that
    I killed the president?
[18:54] Yayoi
    This is all just the nonsensical reasoning
    of an old dude who reeks of cigarettes!
[18:58] Kogoro
    You're right. There's no evidence.
[19:00] Yayoi
    See? Told you so.
[19:02] Kogoro
    But what about the VP and
    his wife's testimony?
[19:05] Yayoi
    There's no such testimony.
[19:07] Kogoro
    What makes the woman who loves cake say that?
[19:12] Yayoi
    What?
[19:12] Kogoro
    On what basis do you make that claim?
[19:14] Yayoi
    What basis? None, it's just what I think.
[19:17] Kogoro
    No, there is something.
[19:19] Kogoro
    This old dude who reeks of cigarettes knows.
[19:22] All
    He admitted it?!
[19:23] Yayoi
    What are you claiming to know?
[19:25] Kogoro
    I know the woman who loves cake poisoned
    the VP and his wife and tried to kill them.
[19:31] Yayoi
    I've had enough of you!
[19:33] Yayoi
    Now you've said it! How dare you!
[19:35] Yayoi
    Stay away from me!
[19:36] Yayoi
    Get off of me!
[19:38] Kogoro
    A murderer has no right
    to speak to me that way.
[19:43] Kogoro
    But don't worry.
[19:45] Yayoi
    What?
[19:46] Kogoro
    What do you see on the
    other side of that glass?
[19:49] Yayoi
    The glass? What?
[19:57] Yayoi
    B-But how?
[19:59] Conan
    I told them.
[20:02] Conan
    The culprit is the secretary.
[20:05] Conan
    I had them pretend to be poisoned
    without eating the matcha cake.
[20:10] Conan
    The police told me earlier that
    they found poison in the cake.
[20:19] Kogoro
    And so, the ballad of
    the woman who loves cake
[20:23] Kogoro
    ended with her betrayal
    by the cake she loves.
[20:32] Yayoi
    I couldn't forgive the president.
[20:35] Yayoi
    How could my beloved Western Confections
    Paradise make Japanese sweets of all things?
[20:41] Yayoi
    At first, they opposed the idea,
[20:43] Yayoi
    but the VP and his wife were just as guilty
    for accepting the president's suggestion.
