[00:01] Kogoro
    Ouch...
[00:03] Kogoro
    Wow, look at the time.
[00:05] Ran
    I'm glad we found the lost cat, though.
[00:09] Ran
    It's thanks to you, Conan-kun.
[00:15] Nezu
    Stop! Murderer!
[00:17] Conan
    It came from over there.
[00:29] Kogoro
    He's still alive!
[00:30] Kogoro
    Ran, call an ambulance!
[00:32] Ran
    Got it.
SIGN    Nezu Goro (52)
    Security Guard
[00:33] Kogoro
    Hang in there!
[00:35] Ran
    A security guard was stabbed.
    His life is in danger.
[00:38] Ran
    I'm at a business district in Haido City.
[00:40] Keiko
    Hideto? Don't die!
[00:43] Conan
    Ran-neechan, there's someone
    at the top of the stairs, too.
[00:45] Ran
    Get here as quickly as you can.
[00:47] Kogoro
    Who did this to you?
[00:55] Nezu
    Wh-White clothes...
[01:00] Kogoro
    Damn it.
[01:06] Conan
    I'm too late.
[01:09] Ichinose
    What's going on?
[01:20] Conan
    Beyond detective skills capable
    of identifying the truth
[01:22] Conan
    is the power to lead us
    to what we should believe.
[01:25] Conan
    Missing footprints and invisible traces!
[01:26] Conan
    Pursue the culprit lost in the darkness!
[01:29] Conan
    Always determining the one truth
[01:30] Conan
    with the body of a child
    and the mind of an adult,
[01:32] Conan
    his name is Detective Conan!
SIGN    The Culprit Who Disappeared Into the Sleeping Town
[03:16] Conan
    "The Culprit Who Disappeared
    Into the Sleeping Town!"
[03:31] Takagi
    The man dead at the top of the stairs
    is Yuki Hideto-san, 34 years old.
SIGN    Yuki Hideto (34)
    IT Company President
[03:36] Takagi
    He was stabbed in the chest.
[03:38] Kogoro
    Yuki Hideto? As in the Yuki Hideto?
[03:41] Takagi
    Yes. He was the gifted
    president of an IT company.
[03:44] Takagi
    He was frequently criticized by the media
    for his aggressive business practices.
[03:50] Takagi
    He had a lot of enemies.
[03:52] Megure
    So that's his company's building, huh?
[03:54] Megure
    It's right next to the murder scene.
[03:56] Sato
    We believed he was attacked
    as he was exiting the building.
[04:01] Megure
    Someone left flowers already?
[04:03] Sato
    They were already there before the murder.
[04:05] Sato
    We don't think they're related to the case.
[04:08] Conan
    The blood stains end abruptly.
[04:10] Conan
    The victim's blood must
    have gotten on the culprit.
[04:13] Conan
    A considerable amount, too.
[04:18] Megure
    Did she discover the body?
[04:20] Takagi
    She's Yuki's wife and
    his company's number two.
SIGN    Yuki Keiko (34)
    Yuki Hideto's Wife
[04:24] Takagi
    Her name is Yuki Keiko-san.
[04:26] Kogoro
    She was clinging to her husband's body.
[04:29] Kogoro
    By the time we saw them,
    they were already like that.
[04:32] Megure
    We'll wait to question her until later.
[04:37] Conan
    "White clothes," huh?
[04:40] Megure
    A stun gun?
[04:41] Takagi
    Yuki carried one for self defense.
[04:45] Sato
    Judging by the voltage, there must be
    a stun gun burn on the culprit's body.
[04:51] Kogoro
    Security guard Nezu-san arrived at the scene
    and got into a tussle with the culprit.
[04:57] Conan
    These flat ones belong to the culprit,
    and these patterned ones are Nezu-san's.
[05:04] Kogoro
    Despite his injuries, Nezu-san
    desperately pursued the culprit.
[05:08] Kogoro
    But during his pursuit, he was
    stabbed in the stomach.
[05:10] Takagi
    Based on the shape of their injuries,
[05:12] Takagi
    we believe the same knife
    was used to stab both men.
[05:18] Conan
    There are a lot of cuts concentrated here.
[05:20] Megure
    He must've fought with the culprit here.
[05:23] Kogoro
    How awful.
[05:27] Sato
    The culprit's footprints end at
    the entrance to the main avenue.
[05:31] Sato
    It's possible he changed shoes
    or fled in a vehicle.
[05:35] Takagi
    We're currently searching the area,
[05:38] Takagi
    but we've found no signs of the culprit
    fleeing, much less witnesses.
[05:42] Kogoro
    Business districts are
    practically deserted at night.
[05:46] Megure
    Which is why the culprit would've stood out,
    seeing as they were covered in blood.
[05:50] Megure
    But if there's no sign of them, then...
[05:52] Conan
    He's right. It doesn't make sense.
[05:55] Sato
    Or maybe they're right here,
    feigning innocence.
[06:03] Keiko
    I was talking to my husband in a
    third-floor meeting room until a moment ago.
[06:07] Keiko
    After that, I stayed behind to work,
    and heard the alarm whistle.
[06:17] Nezu
    Stop! Murderer!
[06:24] Megure
    Did you see the culprit?
[06:29] Conan
    Does that mean the culprit returned
    after leaving the scene once?
[06:35] Sato
    So you didn't realize your husband had been
    attacked before you heard the whistle?
[06:40] Keiko
    I was in the room in the very back.
[06:43] Keiko
    It's true that people hated my husband.
[06:46] Keiko
    But he was actually a
    sensitive person, and I truly...
[06:54] Conan
    But only you wore a wedding ring.
[06:59] Takagi
    Now that you mention it, you're right.
[07:02] Keiko
    So, what?
[07:03] Megure
    Perhaps you were unhappy
    with your husband as well.
[07:11] Keiko
    That's right. My husband
    was asking for a divorce.
[07:14] Keiko
    He also said he'd sell the company.
[07:17] Keiko
    We'd finally made it this far together, too.
[07:22] Kogoro
    Keiko-san didn't do it.
[07:26] Kogoro
    If it'd been her, Nezu-san
    would've pointed up the stairs,
[07:30] Kogoro
    instead of towards the main avenue.
[07:33] Kogoro
    Besides, she's wearing heels.
[07:35] Kogoro
    The culprit's footprints
    look nothing like hers.
[07:40] Keiko
    Impressive work, Detective.
[07:42] Kogoro
    I get that a lot.
[07:46] Conan
    The old man's right, but...
[07:49] Takagi
    Which means the prime suspect is...
SIGN    Ichinose Kaoru (25)
    Hideto's Secretary
[07:52] Ichinose
    You think I killed the president? Why?
[07:56] Keiko
    My husband told you off all the time, and
    I sometimes saw you glaring daggers at him.
[08:02] Ichinose
    Oh, please. This is a misunderstanding.
[08:04] Keiko
    You weren't working today, were you?
    What were you doing here?
[08:07] Ichinose
    I just happened to pass by.
[08:14] Ichinose
    Wh-What is it?
[08:16] Conan
    You smell like coffee and cigarettes.
[08:18] Conan
    You were at the smoking area
    across the street, weren't you?
[08:26] Conan
    You must've been there for quite a while.
[08:28] Ichinose
    I like having a smoke there.
[08:32] Conan
    The other buildings would've blocked
    his view of Yuki-san's building.
[08:37] Conan
    It's a strange place to wait for him, but...
[08:40] Kogoro
    You're the only one who was on
    the avenue Nezu-san pointed at.
[08:44] Ichinose
    Didn't the culprit flee that way?
[08:46] Sato
    Then you must've seen them
    running down the avenue.
[08:52] Ichinose
    I just didn't notice.
[08:57] Ran
    But Nezu-san said white clothes.
[09:01] Megure
    Takagi-kun, get forensics over here.
[09:02] Takagi
    Yes, sir.
[09:05] Police
    Excuse me.
[09:10] Takagi
    I'm not seeing anything.
[09:12] Megure
    No bloodstains, huh?
[09:14] Ichinose
    See?
[09:15] Conan
    Huh? These clothes are reversible.
[09:18] Ichinose
    What?
[09:21] Megure
    Ichinose-san.
[09:25] Megure
    I see. So it's a black
    and white reversible vest.
[09:31] Ran
    There's a stain on the white side.
[09:32] Kogoro
    We'll find something this time.
[09:35] Kogoro
    What?
[09:36] Sato
    There's nothing there.
[09:38] Keiko
    Then what's that stain?
[09:42] Conan
    It's coffee.
[09:44] Ichinose
    My shoes are totally different
    from the culprit's anyway. See?
[09:49] Megure
    You're right.
[09:56] Conan
    Is this...?
[09:59] Ichinose
    Thanks, kid.
[10:03] Ichinose
    In that case, go ahead
    and search my entire body.
[10:07] Ichinose
    There's a stun gun burn
    on the culprit's body, right?
[10:11] Keiko
    Search me, too.
[10:12] Kogoro
    Then I'll search Keiko-san.
[10:14] Ran
    Dad!
[10:19] Megure
    Good grief. They're both innocent.
[10:23] Conan
    Does that mean there was
    someone else at the crime scene?
[10:27] Conan
    A culprit X we haven't been able to spot?
[10:31] Conan
    Then how did they disappear?
[10:41] Megure
    Let's begin our search for X.
[10:45] Both
    Yes, sir!
[10:46] Conan
    But why did the culprit attack
    Yuki-san in front of a security guard?
[10:53] Kogoro
    Why can't you just keep your mouth shut?
[10:55] Conan
    Wasn't the security guard over there?
[10:58] Takagi
    True. Why didn't he wait until
    he was alone to attack him?
[11:02] Sato
    That would be more certain and less risky.
[11:06] Conan
    Was Yuki-san really the culprit's only target?
[11:10] Megure
    Could it be?
[11:11] Sato
    I'll look into it immediately.
[11:15] Sato
    I found that four years ago, Yuki's company
    was suspected of unlawful conduct.
[11:22] Sato
    There was a woman who
    assumed all responsibility
[11:24] Sato
    and killed herself by
    jumping off this building.
[11:28] Keiko
    That was Sachi. Shirai Sachi.
[11:31] Keiko
    She helped found the company
    and was my dearest friend.
[11:37] Ran
    Then those flowers...
[11:39] Keiko
    I put them there.
[11:40] Ichinose
    I didn't know about that.
[11:43] Keiko
    It was before you joined the company.
[11:45] Takagi
    The suspicions ended with her death.
[11:48] Takagi
    Foul play was suspected at the time,
[11:51] Takagi
    but a security guard testified that
    Sachi-san threw herself from the building,
[11:56] Takagi
    and the case was determined to be a suicide.
[11:59] Sato
    And that security guard was...
[12:01] Conan
    It was Nezu-san, right?
[12:04] Sato
    Yes.
[12:05] Sato
    After that, Nezu began paying off
    the debt he'd accumulated.
[12:10] Kogoro
    If Yuki-san bribed him into
    giving false testimony, then...
[12:15] Ran
    Nezu-san was a target from the start?
[12:18] Takagi
    Not only that, but Sachi-san
    died four years ago today.
[12:21] Takagi
    In other words, today's
    the anniversary of her death.
[12:24] Megure
    Were these murders revenge against
    the two men involved in Sachi-san's death?
[12:35] Conan
    Ran-neechan.
[12:36] Ran
    What is it?
[12:38] Conan
    An image I found on SNS.
[12:39] Ran
    Is that Sachi-san?
[12:41] Conan
    It's still online.
[12:43] [Messenger] Sign
    Christmas With Sachi
[12:44] Ran
    She looks so happy.
[12:48] Conan
    Huh? Is this...?
[12:52] Ran
    I'm going to tell Inspector Megure.
[12:55] Conan
    No, it's not enough.
    We still don't know anything.
[13:01] Conan
    What's this?
[13:04] Conan
    Oh, it's over here.
[13:08] Conan
    Huh?
[13:10] Conan
    Is this... blood spray?
[13:15] Conan
    It's pretty far from the body.
[13:18] Conan
    What's this doing here?
[13:22] Conan
    These footprints...
[13:29] Conan
    I see. Does that mean...?
[13:35] Forensics
    Hey, kid.
[13:36] Conan
    I get it now.
[13:42] Megure
    What's the meaning of this, Ichinose-san?
[13:48] Ichinose
    It's true that I was Sachi's boyfriend.
[13:50] Keiko
    Then you joined our company...
[13:53] Ichinose
    To determine the truth.
[13:55] Ichinose
    But I didn't kill anyone.
[13:57] Kogoro
    You can't expect us to believe—
[13:59] Conan
    You already know that, don't you?
[14:01] Conan
    We proved that earlier.
[14:03] Kogoro
    W-Well, yeah.
[14:07] Conan
    But why did you bring that pen?
[14:11] Conan
    It's a recording device, right?
[14:13] Ichinose
    What?
[14:15] Sato
    And it wasn't a coincidence
    that you came here.
[14:19] Ichinose
    The president asked me to come here tonight.
[14:22] Ichinose
    He said he had something
    to tell me about Sachi.
[14:24] Keiko
    What? Did my husband know who you were?
[14:28] Ichinose
    I think he figured it out,
    which is why I brought this.
[14:32] Takagi
    If anything happened to you, the audio
    you recorded would serve as evidence.
[14:38] Ichinose
    Yes. We were supposed to
    meet at the smoking area,
[14:41] Ichinose
    but he never showed up, so
    I headed towards the office building.
[14:45] Ichinose
    But there were already
    bloody footprints there.
[15:00] (Flashback) Nezu
    Stop! Murderer!
[15:03] Ichinose
    There wasn't time to clear
    up the misunderstanding,
[15:05] Ichinose
    and I was focused on running,
[15:06] Ichinose
    so I don't if someone stabbed
    Nezu-san behind me.
[15:09] Ichinose
    By the time I turned around,
    he was already on the ground.
[15:13] Ichinose
    You already know the rest.
[15:16] Kogoro
    So you turned your clothes inside out
    and pretended you happened to pass by?
[15:20] Ichinose
    I was afraid of being framed, so...
[15:24] Keiko
    My husband probably wanted to tell
    you he planned to turn himself in.
[15:29] Ichinose
    What?
[15:30] Megure
    Selling his company and filing for divorce.
[15:33] Megure
    Everything Yuki was doing sounds
    like putting his affairs in order.
[15:37] Kogoro
    Keiko-san, the meeting
    you had with him tonight...
[15:41] Keiko
    Yes. My husband told me
    everything for the first time
[15:46] Keiko
    about the unlawful activity, about
    Sachi, and about turning himself in.
[15:49] Keiko
    He was always like that.
[15:51] Keiko
    When it came to this kind of thing, he
    always tried to do everything himself.
[15:55] Keiko
    Which means he never trusted me.
[15:59] Ran
    Are you sure about that?
[16:01] Keiko
    What?
[16:02] Ran
    Couldn't you think of it this way?
[16:04] Ran
    He didn't want to drag you into this mess.
[16:11] Takagi
    Did Keiko-san kill him to stop him
    from turning himself in?
[16:15] Conan
    I don't think so.
    We disproved that earlier, too.
[16:19] Megure
    Then who's the culprit?
[16:22] Sato
    It must be a third party, the true culprit X.
[16:28] Kogoro
    The culprit... culprit is...
[16:33] Kogoro
    No, there's one more person.
[16:36] Kogoro
    Someone with motive to kill Yuki-san
    for trying to turn himself in
[16:39] Kogoro
    who's never run or hidden
    from us from the start.
[16:44] Sato
    You mean...?
[16:45] Kogoro
    Indeed I do. The true culprit is
    Nezu-san, the dead security guard.
[16:51] Megure
    What?
[16:52] Takagi
    It's true that Nezu-san's false testimony
    would be exposed if Yuki turned himself in.
[16:57] Sato
    He'd be fired from his job.
[16:59] Sato
    And at his age, with a criminal record,
    he'd never find another job.
[17:02] Sato
    That sounds like motive to me.
[17:04] Megure
    But wasn't he killed?
[17:07] Kogoro
    Nobody saw who killed him.
[17:10] Kogoro
    Not Keiko-san. Not even Ichinose-san,
    who was only a short distance away.
[17:18] Kogoro
    It doesn't make sense.
[17:20] Kogoro
    He fought with the culprit,
    who was armed with a knife,
[17:23] Kogoro
    but Nezu-san's nightstick
    was still on his hip.
[17:28] Takagi
    But there were two sets of footprints.
[17:31] Sato
    Even if he used a second pair to
    make them, where did the shoes go?
[17:36] Kogoro
    It's a simple trick.
[17:38] Kogoro
    The bottoms of Nezu-san's
    shoes had two surfaces.
[17:42] Megure
    Takagi-kun.
[17:47] Kogoro
    What we saw was the rubber sole
    mask he attached to his shoes.
[17:53] Kogoro
    If you remove them...
[17:57] Kogoro
    their unsettling flat face is revealed.
[18:00] Kogoro
    Nezu-san's plan was probably as follows:
[18:05] Kogoro
    First, he'd stab Yuki-san to death
    when he exited the building.
[18:09] Kogoro
    Next he'd use his flat soles
    to create footprints left by X
[18:13] Kogoro
    leading to the main avenue.
[18:16] Kogoro
    Then he'd glue the soles he brought
    to his shoes and climb up the stairs,
[18:23] Kogoro
    step in the blood, and this
    time create his own footprints.
[18:29] Kogoro
    Then he'd have made two sets of footprints.
[18:32] Kogoro
    Next he'd cut the front
    of his body using a knife
[18:36] Kogoro
    to imitate defensive wounds.
[18:40] Kogoro
    Finally, he'd perform chest
    compressions on Yuki-san
[18:43] Kogoro
    to hide the blood that had gotten on him.
[18:45] Kogoro
    He'd blow his alarm whistle so Keiko-san
    would witness what happened.
[18:53] Kogoro
    The non-existent X would be framed,
[18:57] Kogoro
    he'd be a heroic victim
    who suffered injuries,
[19:01] Kogoro
    and Nezu-san would have
    pulled off the perfect crime.
[19:05] Kogoro
    But nothing ever goes according to plan.
[19:09] Kogoro
    When he stabbed Yuki-san, he was
    met with unexpected resistance.
[19:13] Megure
    The stun gun!
[19:20] Kogoro
    At this rate, it would be clear
    that Nezu-san killed him.
[19:25] Kogoro
    While creating the fake
    footprints, his mind raced.
[19:30] Kogoro
    He realized the best place
    to hide a leaf is in a forest,
[19:34] Kogoro
    so the best way to hide a burn
    was with another injury.
[19:38] Takagi
    Then those wounds were...
[19:40] Kogoro
    Defensive wounds should be
    on the front of the body.
[19:44] Kogoro
    It's hard to believe he'd suffer
    multiple injuries like that.
[19:48] Kogoro
    Nezu-san inflicted them on himself
    to hide the burn from the stun gun.
[19:55] Kogoro
    Once he was finished, while performing
    chest compressions to hide the evidence...
[20:00] Ichinose
    I showed up.
[20:04] Kogoro
    Nezu-san must have been
    surprised, as well as confused.
[20:09] Kogoro
    He thought you'd seen everything.
[20:11] (Flashback) Nezu
    Stop! Murderer!
[20:14] Keiko
    Because I was too far away,
    I couldn't see what he was holding.
[20:20] Ichinose
    And I turned around and ran.
[20:22] Kogoro
    If he wanted to apprehend you,
    he would've drawn his nightstick.
[20:27] Kogoro
    Nezu-san intended to stab you to death
    and make it look like self-defense.
[20:35] Kogoro
    But Nezu-san had cuts all over his side.
[20:38] Kogoro
    He was also panicked by
    the unexpected development.
[20:41] Kogoro
    And the soles of his shoes
    felt different from before.
[20:46] Kogoro
    When he raced down the stairs at full
    speed under those circumstances...
[20:54] Sato
    In other words, it was an accident.
[20:56] Kogoro
    It's the only conceivable explanation.
[20:58] Ran
    Then Nezu-san was pointing at...
[21:01] Kogoro
    Until the very end, he was still
    trying to frame Ichinose-san or X.
[21:07] Kogoro
    He didn't think he would die.
[21:11] Megure
    But that's just conjecture.
    That's not enough.
[21:16] Kogoro
    But there is evidence.
[21:18] Kogoro
    How did Nezu-san hide the stun gun burn?
[21:23] Kogoro
    It would be difficult to
    see a burn on his side.
[21:26] Kogoro
    He needed a mirror.
[21:28] Kogoro
    Kid.
[21:29] Conan
    Here.
[21:31] Conan
    Right here.
[21:34] Megure
    Is this blood?
[21:37] Conan
    There's blood and footprints
    on the ground, too.
[21:50] Conan
    There's no other reason
    for these things to be here.
[21:54] Megure
    Call forensics over right away.
[21:56] Sato
    Yes, sir.
[23:26] Ran
    Dad, you ate my kinako mochi, didn't you?
[23:31] Kogoro
    I-I'm sure I'm being framed by X.
[23:35] Ran
    That's impossible!
    Just look at all this evidence!
[23:40] Conan
    Crap. I should turn myself in soon, too.

[23:45] Sonoko
    Is something wrong?
[23:46] Ran
    Yeah. Don't you think
    that guy's acting weird?
[23:49] Ran
    He's not looking at any clothes.
[23:51] Ayumi
    We saw someone like that, too.
[23:53] Ayumi
    He kept looking at the walls
    instead of the paintings.
[23:57] Sato
    I might've seen someone acting strange, too.
[24:01] Sato
    He was mumbling to himself
    while pushing a stroller.
[24:05] Conan
    I see. So that's how it is.
