[00:01] ---
Encounters are mysterious!
But cases are even more so!
[00:04] ---
I'm so glad I'm with you!
[00:06] ---
Today's case is
about the acting spirit!
[00:08] ---
Great actor
versus great detective!
[00:10] ---
He sees the single
truth for what it is,
[00:11] ---
and looks like a kid but
has the mind of an adult!
[00:13] ---
His name? Detective Conan!
[01:52] ---
Hijikata Kozaburo-san, the historical
drama actor, hired the old guy
[01:56] ---
and showed us to his home on the 5th floor
[02:00] ---
of an apartment building.
[02:00] ---
Hijikata
[02:03] ---
While we were on the veranda,
taking in the view,
[02:06] ---
the dead body of Isami, Kozaburo's
wife, collapsed onto the veranda
[02:10] ---
of Okita Hajime,
who lived next door!
[02:15] ---
Okita was home,
but denies killing her.
[02:19] ---
Even so, the police and the
old guy are convinced he did it.
[02:24] ---
But, having seen a smile on
Hijikata's face instead of sadness,
[02:28] ---
I started to doubt it was Okita...
[02:31] ---
...and finally found the proof to flip
the case completely upside-down!
[02:38] ---
"The Historical Drama
Actor Murder Case (Part 2)."
[02:50] ---
There are a lot more
here than I thought...
[02:54] ---
Conan! Go back to where Ran is!
[02:56] ---
Okay!
[03:02] ---
Conan-kun?
Where are you, Conan-kun?
[03:05] ---
That's weird. Where could he be?
[03:07] ---
Umm, have you seen Conan-kun?
[03:10] ---
Maybe he's in my apartment?
[03:12] ---
Oh, right!
[03:23] ---
Just as I thought!
[03:30] ---
Conan-kun?
[03:33] ---
Huh? He's not here?
[03:37] ---
I guess he wouldn't be.
His shoes weren't at the door...
[03:41] ---
I've figured out the trick.
But there's still no proof.
[03:46] ---
I could probably corner Hijikata-san
[03:49] ---
by showing everyone
this strange sight...
[03:54] ---
But I'd really prefer to
have some definitive proof!
[03:58] ---
C'mon, Conan-kun.
Are you really not here?
[04:02] ---
Damn. If only we had touched
much more obvious stuff...
[04:08] ---
Huh? Wait. As I recall...
[04:19] ---
Yes! This is it!
[04:22] ---
And, given the old guy's personality,
it should be around here...
[04:28] ---
No question about it!
Hijikata-san is the killer!
[04:31] ---
He used this trick to deceive us
and lead us to this deceptive place!
[04:40] ---
Detective Mori! Is it true there
was a murder in this building?!
[04:44] ---
C'mon! You can tell us, Mori-san!
[04:46] ---
I hear that the deceased is
Nagakura Isami, the former actress,
[04:50] ---
and that you've been to
the murder scene!
[04:53] ---
Well, Mori-san?!
[04:54] ---
Now, now. I'd like to have a smoke first.
[04:59] ---
Inspector.
[05:00] ---
How do things look
in there, Takagi-kun?
[05:03] ---
Mori-san has the press' undivided
attention by the front entrance.
[05:09] ---
The reporters at the back entrance
have started to come to the front.
[05:13] ---
Good. Just as we planned.
[05:16] ---
While Mori-*kun
*has them distracted,
[05:18] ---
we'll bring the suspect, Okita-san,
and the witness, Hijikata-san,
[05:21] ---
down from the 5th floor, and head
to the station out the back door.
[05:25] ---
Yes, sir!
[05:31] ---
Oh! Mr. Detective!
[05:33] ---
Oh, Conan-kun! What is it?
[05:35] ---
Kogoro-ojisan said he
has a favor to ask you!
[05:40] ---
You see...
[05:42] ---
Please, Mori-san!
[05:44] ---
Tell us about the incident!
[05:47] ---
Seems fishy if you ask me!
I bet you don't know anything at all!
[05:53] ---
Alright! Fine!
[05:56] ---
I'll give you just
one hint! Now come close!
[06:02] ---
Okita Hajime is the killer?!
[06:05] ---
The actor?!
[06:07] ---
This is still a secret!
Don't let the inspector hear!
[06:12] ---
But you're certain, Mori-san?!
[06:14] ---
You saw Isami-san collapse
onto the veranda next door
[06:19] ---
from her husband's own veranda?!
[06:24] ---
And that veranda belongs to
Okita Hajime, who lives on the 5th floor,
[06:29] ---
and when the
police rushed in afterward,
[06:32] ---
both the body
and Okita were there?!
[06:37] ---
That'd mean Okita Hajime
was clearly the killer!
[06:41] ---
Yep, pretty much.
[06:44] ---
Alright! Big scoop!
[06:46] ---
This'll be tonight's top news!
[06:48] ---
It's me! Get a camera and
newscaster here on the double!
[06:52] ---
We have a breaking story!
[06:53] ---
Hey, now!
[06:54] ---
Hold it!
[06:58] ---
N-No, that wasn't me...
[07:01] ---
Huh?
[07:08] ---
M-Mori-san?!
[07:09] ---
Do you have more information?
[07:12] ---
And now to use this
voice-changer to talk for him...
[07:16] ---
Yes, it would seem clear
that Okita-san killed her,
[07:21] ---
but that isn't the case.
[07:24] ---
What do you mean?!
Please explain, Mori-san!
[07:31] ---
Alright! Hurry out the back door
while Mori-kun's distracting them!
[07:37] ---
Are you saying someone
else killed her, Mori-san?!
[07:41] ---
Yeah. The killer used a trick to
fool my eyes into seeing it like that.
[07:48] ---
Isn't that right? The real killer,
who's trying to sneak out the back...
[07:54] ---
...Hijikata Kozaburo-san!
[07:57] ---
What?!
[08:02] ---
It's Hijikata Kozaburo!
[08:04] ---
And Okita Hajime!
[08:07] ---
H-Hey, now! Hold on!
[08:09] ---
What's going on here, Inspector Megure?!
[08:11] ---
Is what Detective Mori said true?!
[08:14] ---
Who do the police consider a suspect?!
[08:17] ---
Well?!
[08:19] ---
Mori! Knock this off!
[08:21] ---
Besides, how could it be Hijikata-san?!
[08:24] ---
He was with you when
you saw Isami-san fall over!
[08:30] ---
Plus, the fishing line used to strangle her
[08:33] ---
was found in Okita-san's apartment!
[08:36] ---
He was even in his 5th floor apartment,
where the body was found,
[08:40] ---
when the murder took place!
[08:43] ---
How could anyone else have
carried the body into his room?!
[08:48] ---
Then the killer really is Okita Hajime?!
[08:52] ---
What was his motive?!
[08:53] ---
Don't tell us it had to do
with his affair with Isami-san?!
[08:58] ---
No! I'm not at liberty to--!
[09:01] ---
We'll be questioning
him soon about all of that.
[09:06] ---
Yes, given these circumstances,
Hijikata-san couldn't have done it,
[09:11] ---
and Okita-san clearly seems to be the killer.
[09:16] ---
Assuming the veranda we
witnessed Isami-san fall onto
[09:22] ---
was really on the 5th floor, of course!
[09:26] ---
Come again?! What do you mean, Mori-kun?!
[09:35] ---
Assuming the veranda we
witnessed Isami-san fall onto
[09:41] ---
was really on the 5th floor, of course.
[09:44] ---
Come again?! What do you mean, Mori-kun?!
[09:49] ---
Whose cell phone is that?! Turn it off!
[09:52] ---
It's mine, Inspector. It seems
to have rung at the perfect time.
[09:58] ---
What nonsense is this?!
[10:01] ---
Are you saying your cell phone
will help explain the incident?!
[10:05] ---
Yes. Please take it from my pants pocket.
[10:09] ---
One of your men is taking a look
[10:14] ---
at the unusual
sight Hijikata-san created.
[10:18] ---
Yes? Hello?
[10:20] ---
Huh? Takagi? Takagi-kun?!
[10:24] ---
Why did you call Mori-kun's phone?
Where are you, anyway?!
[10:29] ---
The living room in Hijikata-san's
extra apartment on the 6th floor...
[10:34] ---
...but it's strange.
[10:36] ---
What? It's strange?
[10:38] ---
It's the same. The TV, the sofa,
the curtains, the table...
[10:44] ---
Even their positions are the same...
[10:47] ---
It's all exactly identical to his
living room directly below this one!
[10:56] ---
E-Exactly identical?!
[10:58] ---
Yes.
[10:59] ---
The only difference
is that the 5th floor room
[11:02] ---
has four cups filled
with tea on the table,
[11:06] ---
but the 6th floor table is bare...
[11:10] ---
What is the meaning of this, Hijikata-san?
[11:13] ---
Why are your living rooms on the
5th and 6th floors exactly alike?
[11:18] ---
W-Well...
[11:19] ---
It was to fool me into thinking
[11:23] ---
that Isami-san collapsed on the 5th
floor veranda, rather than the 6th.
[11:28] ---
What?!
[11:30] ---
Yes.
[11:31] ---
After he took me to his
fake room on the 6th floor,
[11:37] ---
Hijikata-san had me wait in the living room
[11:40] ---
while he strangled
Isami-san in the 5th floor room
[11:44] ---
and carried her to the 6th floor
room directly above Okita-san's.
[11:49] ---
He set things up so she would
fall onto the veranda at the right time
[11:56] ---
and then returned to the living room,
[11:59] ---
pretending to have had
a hard time preparing the tea.
[12:03] ---
He then invited me onto the veranda,
[12:07] ---
and, at just the right time, he used
his cell phone's speed-dial button.
[12:13] ---
He had the sound of the
phone next door attract our attention
[12:18] ---
so we would witness Isami-*san
*falling onto the veranda.
[12:23] ---
He did it in such a way
[12:26] ---
that it looked like it had been
Okita-san's veranda one floor below!
[12:31] ---
But that can't be right. Her body
really was in Okita-san's apartment.
[12:37] ---
Now, now. Hear me out, Inspector.
[12:41] ---
After that, Hijikata-san ran straight to the next-door apartment
[12:44] ---
Okita
[12:46] ---
and shouted and pounded on
the door, but without reply, of course.
[12:50] ---
That's because it wasn't Okita-san's
apartment, but Hijikata-san's.
[12:56] ---
All the rooms on the 6th floor
belong to Hijikata-san, actually.
[13:01] ---
Afterward, while I went
downstairs to get the spare key,
[13:07] ---
Hijikata-san entered the room,
[13:10] ---
and used the
rope he had prepared
[13:12] ---
to lower Isami-san to
Okita-san's veranda below.
[13:18] ---
With rope?! H-How?!
[13:20] ---
He probably wrapped
the rope under her arms,
[13:24] ---
lifted her over, lowered her down,
swung her onto the veranda,
[13:29] ---
and then pulled the rope free.
[13:33] ---
As proof, her body has a scrape
mark from when he pulled the rope.
[13:42] ---
And the scrapes all over her body
[13:44] ---
are from when she was
swung onto the veranda?
[13:47] ---
It was a dangerous and
unreliable method,
[13:50] ---
but the veranda faces the river,
so the chance of being seen was slim,
[13:56] ---
plus, even if he
accidentally dropped her,
[14:00] ---
he could explain it away by
saying the killer threw her over
[14:04] ---
in the heat of the moment.
[14:06] ---
After lowering Isami-san's body,
[14:09] ---
Hijikata-san put the 6th floor
room number plate back to normal,
[14:16] ---
hurried to Okita-san's door
one floor below,
[14:20] ---
and then nonchalantly waited
for me to bring the spare key.
[14:27] ---
As if he had been
waiting there the entire time.
[14:31] ---
But could he really lower the body,
replace the plate, and all that
[14:37] ---
while you were getting the key?!
[14:40] ---
You could easily buy that much
time by stopping the elevator above.
[14:45] ---
Hijikata-san probably did many
test runs to figure out the timing.
[14:52] ---
But, Mori-kun! You took the elevator
when he first brought you here!
[14:58] ---
Why didn't you realize
you were on the 6th floor?
[15:02] ---
The floor number display
would've made it obvious right away!
[15:08] ---
Yes. From the moment
I got on the elevator,
[15:12] ---
Hijikata-san's spell
was already at work on me.
[15:18] ---
Eh? Spell?
[15:20] ---
Here, Inspector. Have a look
at the elevator's floor number display.
[15:26] ---
There's still a little bit left...
[15:29] ---
Signs of the trick he used to
lead me to his place of deception!
[15:46] ---
What's that black smudge?
[15:49] ---
It's most likely black marker
ink that he failed to wipe away!
[15:55] ---
He marked out the
vertical line on the lower left
[16:00] ---
to make the 6 look like a 5!
[16:03] ---
I get it!
[16:05] ---
I wouldn't have thought of that!
[16:06] ---
Hold on, Mori-kun!
Then what about "2"?!
[16:10] ---
If it's as you say, then that'd
make the number 2 look strange!
[16:14] ---
Yes. I was cleverly fooled there, too.
[16:18] ---
He gave us his business
card inside the elevator,
[16:21] ---
while his back covered the floor buttons.
[16:27] ---
I see! That would
direct your eyes to the cards,
[16:30] ---
and hide the floor buttons
and display from view...
[16:35] ---
He probably wiped the ink off
when he stopped the elevator.
[16:40] ---
My only chance to see the strange
"2" was when I went downstairs,
[16:46] ---
but I was in a hurry
and there was no time for that.
[16:52] ---
Not so fast, detective.
[16:55] ---
You've been saying,
"trick this, deception that,"
[16:59] ---
and claiming I'm some criminal.
[17:02] ---
Do you have proof that I killed Isami?
[17:06] ---
Proof that I took you to
the 6th floor instead of the 5th?
[17:12] ---
But how do you explain that
the living rooms on both floors
[17:16] ---
are exactly the same?
[17:17] ---
Oh? Is something wrong with that?
[17:20] ---
I happen to like that furniture and layout.
[17:24] ---
Before you accuse, could we
see this infallible proof of yours?
[17:29] ---
Otherwise, this is nonsense.
[17:34] ---
Oh?
[17:35] ---
Your confidence must mean
that you wiped away our fingerprints
[17:39] ---
from everything we might've
touched in the 6th floor room!
[17:44] ---
What?!
[17:45] ---
I would surmise you wiped
them away while I was downstairs,
[17:49] ---
and when you hurriedly took away
the teacups in the 6th floor room.
[17:55] ---
Hurriedly took away?
[17:58] ---
Yeah.
[17:59] ---
The fact that Detective Takagi was
able to enter the 6th floor room easily
[18:04] ---
means he made the grave blunder
of forgetting to lock the door.
[18:10] ---
I already told you! Show some proof!
[18:14] ---
Inspector. Please confirm
with Detective Takagi.
[18:19] ---
Ask if there's anything odd on the
floor of the 6th floor living room.
[18:26] ---
T-The floor?!
[18:28] ---
Takagi-kun! Is there anything
unusual on the floor?
[18:32] ---
Huh? Anything unusual?
[18:39] ---
There is something!
A metallic, pointed thing.
[18:42] ---
A metallic, pointed thing?
[18:45] ---
In that case, please flip over
the cushions of the nearby sofa.
[18:50] ---
Something I quickly
hid should be there,
[18:54] ---
with my fingerprints on it!
[19:01] ---
I-Inspector! A model gun!
There's a model gun under the cushion!
[19:05] ---
A model gun?!
[19:07] ---
What?!
[19:09] ---
Mori-kun! You're certain your
fingerprints are on this model gun?!
[19:14] ---
Yes.
[19:16] ---
Because I broke it while waiting
for Hijikata-san in the living room.
[19:22] ---
I didn't have the courage to tell him,
so I hid it under the cushion.
[19:28] ---
Never did I imagine it would
be the key to breaking the spell
[19:33] ---
of Hijikata-san's trick like this.
[19:37] ---
I assume you realize, Hijikata-san...
[19:39] ---
I was with you in Okita-san's room
the entire time after the murder,
[19:45] ---
and I was with Inspector Megure
when I came down here.
[19:52] ---
In other words, unless I'd been
in that 6th floor room from the start...
[20:01] ---
...I wouldn't have been
able to touch that model gun.
[20:05] ---
Incidentally, the trick to
making Isami-san fall over
[20:09] ---
was probably done by holding her
up with fishing line over a rail,
[20:17] ---
and the line would break or
come undone when the time came.
[20:23] ---
Inspector. Please inspect the
room directly above Okita-san's.
[20:28] ---
Traces of his set-up might still be there.
[20:34] ---
Not "might." It's definitely still there.
[20:38] ---
The mechanism I used to
make Isami's body fall on its own.
[20:43] ---
Then you admit to killing her,
Hijikata-san?!
[20:46] ---
Yes, that's right!
[20:48] ---
It was I, Hijikata Kozaburo,
who murdered my wife Isami!
[20:53] ---
She had to pay for getting
together with this lowlife,
[20:57] ---
and I wanted the money
to rebuild my film studio!
[21:01] ---
The money from her insurance, that is!
[21:05] ---
Stop that, all of you!
[21:07] ---
So, when did you figure it out, Detective?
[21:11] ---
It was the sound of Okita-san's phone.
[21:15] ---
It was different from
what I heard on the veranda.
[21:19] ---
Huh? That's odd. I'm certain I prepared
a phone with the same sound.
[21:24] ---
I just happened to buy a new one yesterday.
[21:27] ---
Oh. I have no luck.
[21:30] ---
Though, the main cause of
your downfall was probably that
[21:34] ---
you underestimated Mori-*kun
*and had him witness your trick.
[21:37] ---
I never underestimated him.
[21:40] ---
It was a bet.
[21:42] ---
Had I been able to completely
fool the great Mori-san,
[21:47] ---
I would've made a great detective
in my first modern drama role.
[23:29] ---
Dad! Dad!
[23:35] ---
That's the great detective
Mori Kogoro for you!
[23:37] ---
Mori-san! How does it feel to have
caught a historical drama actor?!
[23:44] ---
Oh, uhh...
[23:47] ---
I guess I feel like
Toyama-no-Kin-san!
[23:51] ---
You're a real star!
[23:56] ---
This clown is such a pain!
[24:08] ---
W-What is this?
[24:12] ---
It's crazy, Dad! All the clocks
in the house are ringing!
[24:16] ---
What?! The entire house?!
[24:19] ---
Even the VCR is running...
[24:22] ---
What exactly is going to happen?!
[24:26] ---
On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
"The Case of the Mysterious
Bandit Mansion (Part 1)"
[24:47] ---
Next Conan's hint:
[24:50] ---
Stamp.
[24:51] ---
Next episode features lots of clocks.
[24:52] ---
I think I smell a case.
[24:54] ---
Aren't you late?
[24:55] ---
Crap!
[24:56] ---
