    [OP]
[00:00] Conan
    On the way home from reporting on a case,
    the old man met a man suffering from memory loss.
[00:06] Conan
    His name was Esaka Ritsuo.
SIGN    Esaka Ritsuo (28)
    Man with Memory Loss
[00:09] Conan
    He lost his memories a year earlier
    and was living as Koneru Taro,
SIGN    Kinbara Takuzo (71)
    Bicycle Parking Lot Employee
SIGN    Hida Keisuke (53)
    Construction Company Manager
[00:15] Conan
    but when he fell down the stairs at a train
    station, he forgot the life he lived as Koneru Taro.

    Instead, he remembered bits of his
    memories as Esaka Ritsuo, but...

    Esaka-san?
[00:34] Megure
    Judging by the circumstances,
    it was almost certainly a suicide.
[00:37] Kogoro
    Suicide?
[00:52] Conan
    Finally arriving after
    swaying back and forth,
[00:53] Conan
    draw close to mysteries and
    begin deducing the truth!
[00:55] Conan
    When the door to his lost memories opens,
    what truth will he see beyond it?
[00:59] Conan
    Always determining the one truth
[01:00] Conan
    with the body of a child
    and the mind of an adult,
[01:02] Conan
    his name is Detective Conan!

    "The Blank Year, Part Two!"
[02:43] Kogoro
    You're sure it was a suicide?
[02:46] Megure
    Yeah.
[02:47] Megure
    Takagi-kun.
[02:49] Takagi
    Yes, sir.
[02:50] Takagi
    This apartment, in which he drank
    the poisoned coffee, was locked.
[02:55] Takagi
    Both of the keys he received from the
    landlord were inside the room. And...
[03:01] Megure
    What we believe is a suicide
    note was left on that computer.
[03:04] Sign
    Though it's been six months, I can't escape my guilt.
    The only apology I can offer is death.
[03:08] Kogoro
    Did he recall a mistake he made in the
    past when his lost memories returned?
[03:14] Megure
    Ideally we'll learn something from
    this, which was left on the table.
[03:19] Kogoro
    The new phone he just bought
    to replace his lost phone?
[03:23] Megure
    Its history showed two calls made yesterday.
[03:27] Megure
    The first call was made to the Hida
    Industries construction company.
[03:30] Kogoro
    That's the company he
    worked at this past year.
[03:34] Conan
    That must Hida-san's company.
[03:36] Megure
    The other call was made to a
    weather information service.
[03:40] Kogoro
    What? A weather information service?
[03:43] Chiba
    Apparently he called to ask a question.
[03:47] Chiba
    He wanted to know if six
    months ago around June 10th
[03:50] Chiba
    if any lightning strikes were reported
    outside the city in Wakabadai.
[03:53] Chiba
    The person answering the phone responded
    that there were on the evening of the 10th.
[03:59] Takagi
    He called Hida Industries to
    confirm what site he worked
[04:04] Takagi
    at six months ago on June 10th.
[04:08] Takagi
    The manager Hida examined the records
    and responded that he was at Wakabadai.
[04:14] Conan
    Both answers point to Wakabadai on June 10th.
[04:19] Conan
    Huh?
[04:21] Conan
    Isn't this...?

    Kisugi Akira-san (38) Found Dead
[04:22] Conan
    It's the day this incident occurred.
[04:26] Kogoro
    On that day, Esaka-kun went to
    Wakabadai, where the crime took place.
[04:29] Kogoro
    If he's guilty of something that happened six
    months ago, in the case of Kisugi Akira's murder...
[04:34] Takagi
    He's...
[04:35] Chiba
    The culprit?
[04:37] Megure
    In other words, on that day Esaka Ritsuo...
[04:47] Megure
    He was working in Wakabadai,
    and for some reason,
[04:52] Megure
    he murdered Kisugi Akira and buried
    the body in the nearby mountains.
[04:56] Megure
    He'd forgotten that he'd done that.
[04:59] Kogoro
    But the thunder made him remember.
[05:01] Kogoro
    Also, he mentioned something.
[05:04] Esaka
    I felt like I remembered a scene
    of particular interest to me.
[05:08] Esaka
    I wonder what it was. Thunder... dogs...
[05:13] Kogoro
    We still don't know the
    significance of the dog, though.
[05:16] Kogoro
    He remembered something, but still
    had doubts, so he called to ask.
[05:20] Kogoro
    And then, feeling remorseful
    about killing a person...
[05:25] Conan
    That explanation does fit, but...
[05:37] Conan
    You said the room was locked.
[05:40] Conan
    Was the door chain on the
    front door locked, too?
[05:43] Takagi
    No, the chain wasn't locked,
[05:46] Takagi
    but both keys were here.
[05:49] Takagi
    One in the back of the desk drawer,
    and one in that jacket pocket.
[05:55] Conan
    Hey, listen...
[05:57] Chiba
    Shall I tell the Kisugi murder
    investigation HQ about Esaka?
[06:01] Megure
    It's still only a possibility.
[06:04] Takagi
    Kisugi Akira was a con artist. It's
    possible he was one of his victims.
[06:09] Megure
    Let's review the information we have.
[06:15] Conan
    Hey, listen.
[06:17] Conan
    Remember the scene of interest
    Esaka-san mentioned?
[06:21] Conan
    Maybe Esaka-san saw something
    at Wakabadai that day,
[06:25] Conan
    like Kisugi Akira and the culprit fighting.
[06:31] Kogoro
    Huh?
[06:32] Conan
    That would also explain
    the attempt on his life.
[06:36] Kogoro
    That was just—
[06:38] Conan
    Remember what Hida-san and the others said?
[06:41] Hida
    You're probably imagining that
    someone tried to kill you.
[06:44] Kinbara
    I can only assume that's the case.
[06:45] Conan
    But what if it were true
[06:48] Conan
    and the culprit was trying to silence
    Esaka-san, the inconvenient witness?
[06:53] Kogoro
    What?
[06:54] Conan
    Their attempts hadn't worked until
    now, but they succeeded yesterday.
[06:59] Conan
    After all, there was someone here when
    Esaka-san drank the poisoned coffee.
[07:07] Kogoro
    What?
[07:08] Conan
    Only one of the cups is placed
    differently on the shelf.
[07:12] Kogoro
    Y-You're right.
[07:14] Kogoro
    Which means...
[07:16] Conan
    The culprit probably put it there.
[07:28] Conan
    Esaka-san didn't kill himself.
[07:30] Conan
    He was murdered for his silence
    and framed as the culprit.
[07:35] Conan
    Then the culprit fled.
[07:37] Conan
    They must've used some kind of
    trick to lock the room, or else...
[07:46] Conan
    If Esaka-san let them into his home,
    then maybe he knew the culprit.
[07:52] Kogoro
    But we need clues.
[07:53] Kogoro
    If Esaka-kun saw the culprit six months ago,
[07:57] Kogoro
    then there might be someone who saw that.
[08:04] Kogoro
    I'd like to ask you about
    this man in the middle.
[08:08] Conan
    He came to the construction site
    down the road six months ago.
[08:11] Woman A
    Oh, I remember him.
[08:14] Conan
    Did you see something?
[08:15] Woman A
    He was frantically fleeing from a dog.
[08:17] Both
    A dog?
[08:18] Woman A
    He came screaming and running and
    jumped right up on that utility pole.
[08:29] Owner A
    I'm sorry!
[08:36] Esaka
    Huh?
[08:40] Kogoro
    Dogs and thunder...
[08:41] Kogoro
    It happened then, right here.
[08:44] Conan
    He saw something off in
    that direction, right?
[08:47] Woman A
    I didn't see anything.
[08:55] Kogoro
    They passed by on that side street then.
[09:08] Conan
    They either came from this direction where
    Kisugi Akira's residence is located,
[09:12] Conan
    or this direction from the temple.
[09:14] Conan
    In any case, Kisugi Akira and the culprit
    must've passed through here while fighting.
[09:20] Kogoro
    And because Esaka-kun witnessed that...
[09:24] Kogoro
    Exactly who is the culprit?
[09:27] Conan
    Since the body they buried was discovered,
[09:30] Conan
    the culprit attempted to
    silence Esaka-san in a hurry.
[09:34] Conan
    But why didn't they do it right away?
[09:37] Kogoro
    Come to think of it, he was nearly killed
    three days after the body was discovered.
[09:42] Conan
    That's it. They couldn't kill him
    because they didn't know where he was.
[09:47] Conan
    But because Esaka-san visited them three
    days later, they made an attempt on his life.
[09:52] Kogoro
    Which means the culprit lives in Koneru.
[09:57] Conan
    That would explain it.
[09:59] Kogoro
    You knew that from that start, didn't you?

[10:09] Kogoro
    There must be residents

[10:14] Kogoro
    by Kisugi Akira and had a grudge against him.
[10:17] Police A
    No, not a single one.
[10:19] Kogoro
    No?
[10:26] Conan
    But why?
[10:28] Kogoro
    There must be someone.
[10:30] Kogoro
    If they haven't found anyone, then
    we'll just have to do it ourselves.
[10:33] Conan
    There's not much point in searching randomly.
[10:35] Kogoro
    You're not wrong.
[10:38] Kogoro
    Maybe the neighborhood
    steward knows something.
[10:41] Conan
    You mean Kinbara-san.
[10:46] Tae
    I'm excited to watch it grow.
[10:49] Kinbara
    In a few years, we'll be able to view
    flowers from within our own home.
[10:56] Tae

[10:59] Tae
    I'm sure that'll be beautiful.

[11:26] Kogoro
    It's possible he was killed for his silence.
[11:29] Kinbara
    But why?
[11:32] Conan
    A man was murdered in the
    mountains of Wakabadai.
[11:38] Kogoro
    There should be victims of Kisugi Akira
    here in Koneru who were conned by him.
[11:45] Kogoro
    Have you heard anything?
[11:47] Kinbara
    I haven't heard anything like that.
[11:50] Kinbara
    They killed Taro-kun?
[11:52] Kogoro
    Anyway, could we ask the
    others about it, too?
[12:00] All
    What?
[12:01] Hida
    Taro-kun was killed?
[12:03] Kogoro
    Yes. I wanted to ask if there's
    anything you can recall about him.
[12:11] Hida
    Recall about him?
[12:12] Toko
    Not off the top of my head.
[12:14] Mamoru
    I can't think of anything.
[12:17] Toko
    But if it's for Taro-san,
    we'll do what we can to help.
[12:22] Hida
    Whoa, whoa.
[12:23] Mamoru
    We're not police or private investigators.
[12:27] Toko
    Yeah, but...
[12:28] Toko
    I know. Mori-san can teach us.
[12:32] Toko
    Please.
[12:34] Hida
    All right. Let's do what we can for Taro-kun.
[12:37] Mamoru
    I'd feel bad for Taro-san
    if we left things like this.
[12:39] Toko
    We'll do our best.
[12:41] Kinbara
    Guys...
[12:43] Kogoro
    We'll begin by searching anywhere
    you find even a little suspicious.
[12:49] Conan
    We'll find some trace of the
    culprit who killed Esaka-san.
[13:11] Conan
    A bicycle parking lot?
[13:14] Old Man A
    The day before yesterday?
[13:15] Conan
    It was around 1PM.
[13:18] Conan
    Did you see anyone running
    away from that traffic light?
[13:22] Old Man A
    There's no point in asking me.
[13:25] Old Man A
    I was out sick with a cold.
[13:27] Conan
    So you weren't here the day before yesterday.
[13:29] Old Man A
    I think Umino-san or
    Kinbara-san was here instead.
[13:33] Conan
    Oh, right. Kinbara-san is
    a bicycle attendant, too.
[13:38] Employee A
    It must've been Umino-san or Kinbara-san.
[13:41] Employee A
    Let's see. On that day...
[13:44] Kogoro
    Actually, I wanted to ask
    you about something else.
[13:49] Kogoro
    Is there anyone named Doigaki-san
    among Kisugi Akira's con victims?
[13:55] Sign
    Yakitori Izakaya
[14:06] Conan
    There should be one at a hardware store.
[14:11] Conan
    They do have one.
[14:12] Hida
    No clues, huh?
[14:15] Mamoru
    Probably because we're regular people.
[14:18] Toko
    Being a detective is hard work.
[14:21] Conan
    Hey, Hida-san.
[14:24] Hida
    What is it?
[14:27] Hida
    Yeah, I talked to him. What about it?
[14:29] Conan
    I don't know, but Kogoro-no-ojisan
    wanted me to check with you.
[14:33] Kogoro
    Why can't we find anything?
[14:36] Conan
    Mister, apparently you were right.
[14:39] Kogoro
    About what?
[14:42] Kogoro
    By the way, did you all find anything?
[14:47] Kogoro
    Find-diddly-ind anything?
[14:51] Toko
    Is this...
[14:52] Mamoru
    The rumored...
[14:54] Hida
    Sleeping Kogoro?
[14:56] Kogoro
    First, I must apologize to all of you.
[14:58] Kogoro
    We never would've found the culprit
    following the course I set you on
[15:03] Kogoro
    because it wasn't the culprit themselves who
    was a victim of Kisugi Akira's con artistry.
[15:09] All
    What?
[15:12] Kogoro
    By the way, on June 10th, when
    Kisugi Akira was murdered,
[15:16] Kogoro
    one of you was at Wakabadai
    where the crime took place
[15:22] Kogoro
    in order to attend the second anniversary
     ceremony of Doigaki Katsuhiro-san's death.
[15:27] Hida
    Doigaki?
[15:29] Both
    Who's that?
[15:31] Kogoro
    He's your wife's younger brother,
    isn't he, Kinbara Takuzo-san?
[15:40] Kogoro
    A bicycle parking lot employee remembered.
[15:43] Employee A
    Let's see. On that day...
[15:46] Conan
    Kinbara-san took June 10th off, right?
[15:49] Employee A
    I remember now.
[15:51] Employee A
    Kinbara-san said a memorial
    service for his wife's brother
[15:53] Employee A
    was being held at a temple in Wakabadai.
[15:57] Kinbara
    He worried himself to death after an evil
    man tricked him out of all of his savings.
[16:04] Kogoro
    It was a total coincidence that
    your wife's family temple
[16:07] Kogoro
    was located in Wakabadai
    where Kisugi Akira lived.
[16:14] Kogoro
    That's where you ran into him.

[16:24] Kinbara
    I forgot something.
[16:26] Kinbara
    Wait for me at the temple tea house.
[16:29] Tae
    Okay.
[16:33] Kogoro
    You demanded that he apologize,
    and you were seen by...
[16:40] Esaka
    Huh?
[16:41] Kinbara
    Taro-kun?
[17:00] Kogoro
    As long as the body wasn't discovered,
[17:03] Kogoro
    you didn't need to worry that
    Esaka-kun saw you fighting.
[17:09] Kogoro
    When Esaka-kun vanished suddenly
    from Koneru six months later,
[17:14] Kogoro
    I'm sure you were secretly relieved.
[17:18] Kogoro
    But the body you buried was
    discovered, and three days later,
[17:22] Kogoro
    you saw Esaka-kun, who you thought had
    disappeared from the neighborhood.
[17:29] Kogoro
    Believing he'd come to ask you
    about Kisugi Akira's death...
[17:40] Kogoro
    What happened?
[17:42] Esaka
    While I was waiting for the light to
    change, someone suddenly pushed my back.
[17:47] Esaka
    I was nearly hit by a car.
[17:49] Kogoro
    You planned to silence him.
[17:52] Tae
    Your amnesia's been cured, and instead...
[17:56] Kinbara
    You lost your memories of the past year.
[18:00] Kogoro
    And though you learned Esaka-kun had
    lost his memories of the past year...
[18:05] Esaka
    I felt like I remembered a scene
    of particular interest to me.
[18:09] Esaka
    I wonder what it was. Thunder... dogs...
[18:14] Kogoro
    You realized he was dangerous.
[18:17] Kogoro
    When you heard from Hida-san that
    he was asking weird questions,
[18:22] Kogoro
    you believed Esaka-kun was remembering
    what happened and panicked.
[18:26] Hida
    I did tell him about the phone call, but...
[18:30] Kogoro
    That's when you came up with the idea of
    framing him for Kisugi Akira's murder.
[18:36] Kogoro
    Last night you visited Esaka-kun.
[18:41] Kogoro
    You poisoned him and made
    it look like a suicide,
[18:45] Kogoro
    and used a spare key to lock his apartment.
[18:51] Kogoro
    That key convinced me that you did it.
[18:55] Kogoro
    I believed that if you had a
    spare key, you must've made it.
[19:05] Kinbara
    I'm going to pop home for a minute.
[19:08] Kinbara
    I'm worried if she's remembered
    to take her medicine.

[19:11] Kogoro
    When I checked with the nearby hardware
    store, you had indeed made a spare key then.

[19:20] Kogoro
    Apparently a single hair was
    stuck to Kisugi Akira's body.
[19:26] Kogoro
    It wasn't his.
[19:29] Kogoro
    The culprit's hair must've gotten stuck to the
    body when they fought just prior to his murder.
[19:36] Kogoro
    I'm sure a comparison would
    make it clear whose it is.
[19:44] Kinbara
    Today, when you said it was possible that
    Taro-kun had been killed for his silence,
[19:52] Kinbara
    I knew it was over.
[19:55] Kinbara
    Everything you've said is correct, Mori-san.
[19:59] Kinbara
    Have you remembered that
    scene that was bothering you?

[20:02] Esaka
    A dog barked at me, and
    then lightning struck.
[20:07] Esaka
    I feel like I saw this man then, too.

[20:39] Kinbara
    I doubt you'd be willing to let this slide,

[20:47] Esaka
    Tell me what?
[20:51] Esaka
    By the way...
[21:06] Kinbara
    I'm sorry for what I did to Taro-kun.
[21:12] Hida
    Then, why did you do it?
[21:21] Kinbara
    I was afraid of being arrested.
[21:27] Kinbara
    Not of being arrested and punished.
[21:31] Kinbara
    I was afraid of...

    Don't worry about it.
