[00:00] Megure
    [ed]
SIGN    Metropolitan Area Tenma City 9PM
[00:05] Megure
    What's the situation?
[00:06] Megure Vo
    We received an anonymous emergency
    call saying someone's dead.
[00:09] Takagi
    Inspector Megure, good evening.
SIGN    DOB July 9th
SIGN    Driver's License
SIGN    Iwao
SIGN    Effective Until
[00:12] Takagi
    We determined from the victim's license
    that he was Yamakabe Iwao-san,
SIGN    Yamakabe Iwao (56)
    Import Goods Distributor
[00:15] Takagi
    56 years old, who lived in Hikaridai.
[00:18] Takagi
    The cause of death was a
    cerebral contusion caused
[00:20] Takagi
    by a blow to the back of the
    head with a blunt object.
[00:23] Takagi
    The estimated time of death is roughly
    two hours earlier around 7PM.
[00:28] Takagi
    However, because we haven't
    found the victim's shoes,
[00:31] Takagi
    we believe he may have
    been murdered elsewhere.
[00:34] Megure
    So he was murdered indoors somewhere else,
[00:36] Megure
    and his body was transported
    and abandoned here.
[00:39] Chiba
    Inspector Megure.
[00:41] Chiba
    I've been trying to get in
    touch with the victim's family,
[00:44] Chiba
    but no one's answering.
[00:46] Chiba
    Perhaps he lived alone.
[00:49] Megure
    You said he lived in Hikaridai, right?
[00:50] Megure
    Let's have the local station look into it.
[00:53] Megure Vo
    When officers from the local station
    visited the victim's home...
SIGN    Metropolitan Area Hikaridai: Yamakabe's Home
[00:58] Officer A
    Kawai from the Hikaridai West police
    box has arrived at the scene.
[01:01] Officer A
    I'm on my way to verify the situation.
[01:06] Officer A
    Yamakabe-san, police.
[01:09] Officer A
    Yamakabe-san?
[01:12] Officer A
    Yamakabe-san? Is anyone home?
[01:16] Officer A
    Yamakabe-san? I'm with the police.
[01:19] Officer A
    Wh-What is this?!
[01:31] Chiba
    There are signs of a scuffle in the room.
[01:34] Takagi
    And the unique shape of this ornament
    with blood and hair stuck to it
[01:39] Takagi
    matches the wound on the
    victim's head, which means...
[01:44] Megure
    This room is most likely
    the scene of the murder.
[02:01] Megure Vo
    Our read on the situation
    should've been correct.
[02:04] Megure Vo
    I never thought I, of all people,
    would commit such a grave mistake.
[02:11] Conan
    Mysterious clouds block your field of view!
[02:13] Conan
    Clear them away with deductive
    reasoning and the sky sparkles!
[02:15] Conan
    Inspector Megure makes a regrettable mistake!
[02:17] Conan
    With his resignation riding on the
    outcome, how will the investigation end?
[02:19] Conan
    Always determining the one truth
[02:21] Conan
    with the body of a child
    and the mind of an adult,

SIGN    MPD Tenma Police Station
SIGN    Tenma Station
[04:13] Megure Vo
    It happened two days after the case.
[04:15] Takagi
    Inspector Megure! We've identified
    someone suspicious in our investigation.
[04:20] Megure
    What?
[04:21] Takagi
    They relentlessly hounded the
    victim, who avoided them.
[04:25] Chiba
    Apparently he had a lot of money troubles.
[04:28] Megure
    I see.
[04:29] Takagi
    We noticed some other curious things
    about this man named Temukai Kyosuke,
[04:33] Takagi
    who lives in Tenma City.
[04:34] Megure
    Temukai Kyosuke?
[04:36] Takagi
    Y-Yes...
[04:37] Chiba
    You know him?
[04:42] Megure
    About three years ago, one of the
    suspects in a certain murder case
[04:46] Megure
    was Temukai Kyosuke, who worked
    at a government office.
[04:52] Megure
    When I asked him to accompany
    me to the station,
[04:56] Megure
    and questioned him about his
    alibi for the time of the murder,
[04:59] Megure
    Temukai reluctantly confessed he'd been
    secretly meeting with a certain businessman.
[05:03] Megure
    His confession proved his
    innocence in the murder case,
[05:06] Chiba
    Thanks for waiting.
[05:08] Megure
    but his government office learned of his
    inappropriate meetings with the businessman.
[05:12] (Flashback) Temukai
    I've been fired as of today.
[05:14] (Flashback) Temukai
    If I hadn't been suspected of murder,
    this wouldn't have happened.
[05:18] (Flashback) Temukai
    I won't forget what you've
    done for me, Inspector.
[05:24] Takagi
    But he was just reaping what he sowed.
    You aren't responsible for what happened.
[05:28] Megure
    You're not wrong.
[05:31] Megure
    So, he works in publishing now?
[05:33] Chiba
    He gets close to successful people and makes
    them write and self-publish autobiographies.
[05:40] Chiba
    But it's hard to imagine they sell
    since there's no market for it.
[05:43] Chiba
    It sounds like a shady business.
[05:45] Takagi
    He pressured Yamakabe, who became
    successful selling imported goods,
[05:49] Takagi
    to publish an autobiography.
[05:52] Megure
    And Yamakabe was avoiding him.
SIGN    Temukai Publishing
[05:59] Takagi
    Excuse me.
[06:01] Takagi
    We're with the police.
[06:03] Temukai
    What do the police want with me?
[06:06] Megure
    It's been a while, Temukai-kun.
[06:10] Temukai
    You...
[06:15] Temukai
    Anyway, I'm surprised.
[06:17] Temukai
    I didn't think you'd be in charge
    of this investigation, Inspector.
SIGN    Temukai Kyosuke (38)
    Publishing Company Operator
[06:21] Megure
    What were you doing around 7PM two
    days ago on the night of the 7th?
[06:25] Temukai
    I was working alone in my office.
[06:28] Megure
    In other words, you don't have an alibi.
[06:31] Temukai
    But I didn't do it.
[06:33] Temukai
    Wasn't Yamakabe-san killed
    at his home in Hikaridai?
[06:37] Temukai
    Then his body was transported
    here to Tenma City and abandoned.
[06:41] Temukai
    It takes an hour by car.
[06:43] Temukai
    What kind of culprit would
    go through all the trouble
[06:47] Temukai
    of transporting a body to
    their own neighborhood?
[06:49] Megure
    It's possible they moved the body
    so they could use that exact excuse.
[06:53] Temukai
    You could apply that logic endlessly.
[06:56] Megure
    Apparently you destroyed your
    own car in a one-car accident.
[07:11] Takagi
    It was the morning after Yamakabe was killed.
[07:15] Temukai
    That has nothing to do with the murder.
[07:18] Megure
    Something rather incriminating
    could have been left behind
[07:21] Megure
    in the vehicle used to transport the body.
[07:23] Megure
    It's possible you caused the
    accident that destroyed the car,
[07:27] Megure
    in order to get rid of the evidence.
[07:32] Temukai
    You're over-thinking things, Inspector.
[07:34] Temukai
    In any case, I didn't kill Yamakabe-san.
[07:39] Temukai
    Excuse me.
[07:45] Megure Vo
    The section chief disapproved of
    the lack of decisive evidence,
[07:50] Megure Vo
    but I was willing to risk my career
    and arrest Temukai Kyosuke anyway.
[07:56] Megure Vo
    But the next morning—in
    other words, this morning—
[08:00] Megure Vo
    when his arrest was reported,
[08:02] Megure Vo
    a woman named Chikaba Yasuko
    came to investigation headquarters.
SIGN    Chikaba Yasuko (57)
    Supermarket Manager
[08:07] (Flashback) Takagi
    What do you mean he didn't do it?
[08:11] (Flashback) Yasuko
    I manage a chain of inexpensive supermarkets.
[08:15] (Flashback) Yasuko
    I decided to publish an autobiography
    on Temukai-san's recommendation.
[08:19] (Flashback) Yasuko
    I attended a meeting with Temukai-san
    on the 7th when the murder took place
[08:24] (Flashback) Yasuko
    at my home here in Tenma City from
    that evening until around 9PM.
[08:31] (Flashback) Chiba
    Yamakabe was killed in Hikaridai around 7PM.
[08:36] (Flashback) Takagi
    Since he was meeting with Chikaba-san
    in Tenma City during that time...
[08:42] Megure Vo
    It would've been impossible for him to do it.
[08:46] Kogoro
    In other words, you arrested the wrong man.
[08:51] (Flashback) Megure
    Why didn't you say you had an alibi?
[08:54] (Flashback) Temukai
    Oh, I was confused. I thought I'd
    met with Chikaba-san on another day.
[09:00] (Flashback) Temukai
    Besides, it's no trouble at
    all for me to be arrested.
[09:03] (Flashback) Temukai
    After all, I trust you since you're
    such a capable police inspector.
[09:08] (Flashback) Temukai
    I know you'll find the true culprit.
[09:11] (Flashback) Temukai
    Then I'll be acquitted and released.
[09:15] Megure
    So that's how it is. He intended
    for this to happen from the start.
[09:21] Kogoro
    You were set up.
[09:23] Megure
    Yeah.
[09:24] Kogoro
    That Temukai guy came up with this plan
[09:26] Kogoro
    on the spot when he learned you were
    in charge of the investigation.
[09:30] Megure
    He plotted to ruin my reputation
[09:33] Megure
    with a mistaken arrest to get revenge
    for what happened three years ago.
[09:37] Megure
    I never expected my police
    career to end like this.
[09:42] Conan
    What?
[09:42] Kogoro
    Inspector, you can't be serious.
[09:44] Megure
    I told the section chief I was willing
    to risk my career to arrest Temukai.
[09:49] Kogoro
    I'm sure they didn't take
    what you said at face value.
[09:53] Megure
    My principles won't allow it!
[09:58] Megure
    Before I knew it, I ended up here.
[10:00] Megure
    It would seem you're the
    only one I can complain to.
[10:06] Kogoro
    Inspector...
[10:09] Megure
    This is Megure.
SIGN    Arrested Without Warrant
SIGN    Publishing Company Operator Arrested!!
[10:11] Megure
    Yeah.
[10:12] Megure
    Yeah.
[10:13] Megure
    Got it.
[10:15] Megure
    Temukai was just released.
[10:18] Megure
    I'm not resigning until
    I find the true culprit,
[10:22] Megure
    but I'm not sure I'll be able to do that.
[10:24] Kogoro
    This isn't like you, Inspector!
[10:27] Kogoro
    You can't end your career on a loss.
[10:31] Kogoro
    I'll secretly help you find the true culprit.
[10:35] Megure
    I see.
[10:37] Megure
    I appreciate it.
[10:42] Kogoro
    Now, where should I begin?
[10:45] Conan
    Hey, mister.
[10:46] Kogoro
    Huh?
[10:47] Conan
    The inspector doesn't have to resign
[10:50] Conan
    if Temukai Kyosuke really
    is the culprit, right?
[10:54] Kogoro
    Well, yeah.
[10:56] Kogoro
    But he's got a legit alibi.
[11:00] Conan
    But there's something suspicious about him.
[11:05] Kogoro
    You're right.
[11:07] Kogoro
    If this guy's actually guilty
    and we can prove it...
[11:12] Kogoro
    then we can save the inspector!
[11:16] Temukai
    Even the police admitted
    it was a mistaken arrest.
[11:19] Temukai
    What does the great detective
    Mori Kogoro want with me?
[11:23] Kogoro
    I wanted to see the face of the man who
    set up my former superior Inspector Megure,
[11:29] Kogoro
    and tell him I won't let the
    culprit get away with this.
[11:36] Temukai
    I don't know why you're telling me that,
[11:40] Temukai
    but I do hope you find the true culprit.
[11:45] Kogoro
    He definitely feels guilty.
[11:47] Conan
    But that confident smile means he's
    certain he'll get away with it.
[11:53] Kogoro
    Yes.
[11:54] Kogoro
    Yes. No, nothing else.
[11:58] Kogoro
    I understand. Sorry to
    interrupt your busy schedule.
[12:02] Kogoro
    I was hoping forensics found something,
[12:07] Kogoro
    but all they found was a bit
    of clay beneath a table.
[12:10] Conan
    Clay?
[12:12] Kogoro
    Maybe it was the victim Yamakabe's hobby.
[12:16] Kogoro
    He seemed to be a collector of knickknacks.
[12:19] Conan
    About that. The ornament used as
    a weapon was really lumpy, right?
[12:24] Conan
    Why did the culprit use that one?
[12:28] Conan
    This one would've been way easier to hold.
[12:31] Kogoro
    They probably just happened to grab that one.
[12:34] Conan
    Just happened to?
[12:37] Kogoro
    The gas tank of Temukai's car was
    full when the accident happened?
SIGN    Traffic Accidents Today 5
[12:41] Police B
    Yeah, so the thing blew
    up and burnt to a crisp.
[12:47] Kogoro
    I can only assume the inspector was right,
[12:49] Kogoro
    and he did it to erase some
    incriminating evidence.
[12:57] Kogoro
    You're absolutely certain
    Temukai was at your home
[13:00] Kogoro
    from the evening to around
    9PM on the day of the murder?
[13:03] Yasuko
    Yes.
[13:04] Yasuko
    Aside from stepping out once to buy
    cigarettes, he was there the whole time.
[13:08] Conan
    Temukai-san went to buy cigarettes?
[13:10] Yasuko
    Yes, but he was only gone
    for about ten minutes.
[13:14] Kogoro
    He left during their meeting?
[13:17] Kogoro
    Was that around seven o'clock?
[13:21] Yasuko
    Um...
[13:23] Yasuko
    It was when the news started airing on TV,
[13:26] Yasuko
    so it must've been around seven o'clock.
[13:28] Kogoro
    I see.
[13:29] Kogoro
    Now we can save the inspector!
[13:31] Conan
    What?
[13:33] Conan
    Did you figure something out?
[13:34] Kogoro
    Yeah, I know what clichéd
    trick he used to do it.
[13:45] Kogoro
    Temukai actually killed Yamakabe right
    here in the vicinity of Chikaba's house.
[13:52] Kogoro
    Temukai lied about buying cigarettes
    and left Chikaba's house.
[13:56] Kogoro
    He invented a plausible reason to
    meet with Yamakabe at seven o'clock
[14:02] Kogoro
    and killed him using the
    ornament he had him bring.
[14:05] Kogoro
    Then he returned to Chikaba's
    home and resumed their meeting.
[14:09] Kogoro
    Afterwards, he transported and abandoned the
    body in the location where it was discovered,
[14:12] Kogoro
    went to Yamakabe's home, stole the money,
[14:15] Kogoro
    made it look like a scuffle
    had taken place there,
[14:19] Kogoro
    and left the ornament used
    as the weapon on the floor.
[14:23] Conan
    I don't think that would've been possible.
[14:25] Kogoro
    What?
SIGN    Tenma City Chikaba's House
SIGN    Hikaridai Yamakabe's House
[14:27] Conan
    Since he left this house in
    Tenma City around nine o'clock,
[14:32] Conan
    the earliest he could've arrived
    at Yamakabe's house in Hikaridai,
[14:35] Conan
    which is an hour away,
    would've been ten o'clock.
[14:37] Conan
    But Yamakabe-san's body was
    discovered after nine o'clock,
SIGN    Location of Body
[14:41] Conan
    and when the police officer who received
    Inspector Megure's call visited his house...
[14:45] (Flashback) Officer A
    Yamakabe-san? I'm with the police.
[14:49] (Flashback) Officer A
    Wh-What is this?
[14:51] Conan
    There were already signs of a scuffle, and
    the ornament in question was at his home.
[14:58] Kogoro
    Naturally, I'm fully aware of all that.
[15:04] Conan
    He's on the right track.
[15:07] Conan
    We just need one more
    thing to bring this home.
[15:12] Kogoro
    All they found was a bit
    of clay beneath a table.
[15:16] Conan
    Could it be?
[15:19] Kogoro
    Hello, this is Mori.
[15:22] Kogoro
    What kind of clay was the
    clay you mentioned earlier?
[15:26] Kogoro
    Ah, that type of clay?
[15:27] Kogoro
    No, thank you.
[15:30] Conan
    I see.
[15:33] Megure
    It's true that Temukai could've
    done it using that method,
[15:38] Megure
    but that just means it would've
    been possible for him to do it.
[15:42] Kogoro
    Yes.
[15:43] Kogoro
    We need something that proves
    he's the true culprit.
[15:46] Kogoro
    Anyway, Inspector...
[15:48] Takagi
    Inspector Megure, we still
    haven't found a single witness.
[15:53] Chiba
    Should we try expanding our search?
[15:56] Megure
    Let's go.
[15:57] Both
    What?
SIGN    èfaC
[16:06] Megure
    We still haven't heard from Mori-kun?!
[16:09] Both
    What?
[16:10] Megure
    Didn't he say he figured out
[16:12] Megure
    the trick and just needed to track
    down the physical evidence?
[16:15] Megure
    He even said he knew where to find it.
[16:18] Temukai
    Physical evidence? Could it be?
[16:21] Takagi
    Isn't that...?
[16:22] Chiba
    Temukai.
[16:48] Temukai
    It's here.
[16:50] Temukai
    I doubt they'll find it, but perhaps I
    should throw it into the sea after all.
[16:55] Megure
    I see.
[16:59] Megure
    So that was the actual weapon.
[17:04] Temukai
    You set me up this time?
[17:08] Megure
    You can provide us with the explanation.
[17:11] Megure
    You're the one who saw through
    everything, Mori-kun.
[17:15] Kogoro
    What? I did?
[17:19] Megure
    Mori-kun?
[17:19] Kogoro
    I did?
[17:22] Kogoro
    Temukai Kyosuke-kun,
[17:24] Kogoro
    you plotted to kill Yamakabe Iwao and
    steal the money in the safe at his home.
[17:32] Kogoro
    You thought securing an alibi
    by killing him in Tenma City,
[17:37] Kogoro
    while convincing the police Yamakabe's
    home in the distant neighborhood Hikaridai
[17:42] Kogoro
    was the scene of the murder, would
    allow you to get away with it.
[17:46] Temukai
    Then wouldn't I have transported
    the body to Yamakabe's home?
[17:51] Temukai
    That would've immediately convinced
    them that was the scene of the murder.
[17:55] Kogoro
    No.
[17:57] Kogoro
    Transporting a body always
    leaves traces on the body.
[18:01] Kogoro
    They would've discovered right away
[18:03] Kogoro
    that he'd been killed elsewhere
    and transported to his home.
[18:07] Kogoro
    You knew that and used that
    knowledge to transport
[18:10] Kogoro
    and abandon the body in a place
    near the scene of the murder.
[18:15] Megure
    Meanwhile, if you ransacked Yamakabe's home,
[18:19] Megure
    you could convince us
[18:21] Megure
    he was killed there and then transported
    to where the body was abandoned.
[18:28] Kogoro
    Furthermore, the fake and actual weapons
    were essential to fabricating your alibi.
[18:36] Kogoro
    On the day of the murder,
[18:37] Kogoro
    you visited Yamakabe's home to discuss
    publishing an autobiography.
[18:41] Kogoro
    You forced him to open his
    safe by threatening him.
[18:45] Kogoro
    You waited for the sleeping
    pills you slipped him
[18:49] Kogoro
    to take effect before
    creating your two weapons.
[18:52] Kogoro
    Using a clay that softens when heated and
    hardens when cooled, you created a mold.
[18:57] Kogoro
    To give it some weight,
    you added a steel rod,
[19:00] Kogoro
    and used UV resin to create
    the weapon you'd actually use.
[19:06] Kogoro
    Meanwhile, you attached Yamakabe's
    blood and hair to the ornament
[19:12] Kogoro
    so it would seem as though it
    was the weapon used to kill him.
[19:16] Kogoro
    Then you ransacked the room and carried
    the sleeping Yamakabe out of the house.
[19:23] Kogoro
    In other words, the crime
    scene and weapon were in place
[19:27] Kogoro
    hours before you killed him.
[19:31] Kogoro
    The fake one, that is.
[19:35] Kogoro
    After that, you visited Chikaba Yasuko-san
    with Yamakabe still sleeping in your car.
[19:42] Kogoro
    Around seven o'clock, you left her house,
    saying you were going to buy cigarettes,
[19:47] Kogoro
    and killed Yamakabe, who was asleep
    in your car, using the actual weapon.
[19:54] Kogoro
    After leaving Chikaba's house,
[19:56] Kogoro
    you dumped Yamakabe's body and
    disposed of the actual murder weapon.
[20:01] Kogoro
    Then you anonymously called
    the emergency number.
[20:05] Kogoro
    By making the police discover
    Yamakabe-san as soon as possible,
[20:09] Kogoro
    you prompted them to determine his time
    of death and visit Yamakabe's home,
[20:15] Kogoro
    convincing them it was impossible
    for you to have killed him.
[20:21] Kogoro
    The next morning, you pretended to get
    into an accident and destroyed your car...
[20:25] Kogoro
    to erase any sign that your vehicle
    was the actual scene of the murder.
[20:32] Temukai
    I can't talk my way out of
    this with this thing around.
[20:37] Temukai
    Everything you said was correct, Mori-san.
[20:41] Temukai
    You just happened to win
    this time, Inspector Megure.
[20:45] Temukai
    I could've tossed this piece
    of evidence into the sea.
[20:51] Megure
    You mustn't underestimate
    the police, Temukai-kun.
[20:55] Temukai
    Huh?
[20:56] Megure
    Even if we hadn't discovered
    the weapon like you said,
[21:01] Megure
    once we knew you fabricated your alibi,
[21:04] Megure
    we would've thoroughly
    re-investigated your affairs.
[21:08] Megure
    We would've followed the money,
    re-examined security camera footage,
[21:12] Megure
    collected every last speck of
    dust left in Yamakabe's home,
[21:17] Megure
    and had the entire forensics
    team re-analyze the material
[21:21] Megure
    until we found evidence proving you did it.
[21:25] Megure
    This time I took a chance on Mori-kun's plan,
[21:29] Megure
    but that's what typical
    police work looks like!
[21:37] Takagi
    Temukai-san, could you come
    with us to the station?
[21:45] Megure
    Looks like I won't have to
    write my resignation, Mori-kun.
[21:50] Kogoro
    You're welcome to come
    complain to me anytime.
[21:55] ---
    I can't be depressed all the time.
[23:22] Conan
    Hey, Mister.
[23:23] Conan
    Come on, wake up. It's evening.
[23:27] Kogoro
    Kid, I just came up with a good idea.
[23:29] Conan
    What?
[23:30] Kogoro
    Let's lay a trap for Temukai.
[23:33] Kogoro
    We'll make him accidentally
    tell us the trick he used.
[23:39] Kogoro
    I'll get you, Temukai!
[23:41] Conan
    You mean you're not going to
    solve the mystery yourself?
