**[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--
