[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,

[00:15] Conan
but when he fell down the stairs at a train
station, he forgot the life he lived as Koneru Taro.

SIGN Kinbara Tae (70)

[00:23] Conan
Instead, he remembered bits of his

[00:31] Conan
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?

Always determining the one truth

with the body of a child
and the mind of an adult,

[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?

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?

There's not much point in searching randomly.
[10:35] Kogoro
You're not wrong.

Maybe the neighborhood

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.

[13:15] Conan
It was around 1PM.

[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

[13:44] Kogoro

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.
SIGN Kisugi Akira (38)

[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.

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...
