[04:24] Kogoro

[04:47] Kogoro
    Yeah.
[04:48] Kogoro
    It still throbs a little, but I'm fine.
[04:52] Megure
    The tests found no issues either.
[04:55] Ran
    Good.
[04:56] Conan
    So, who did this to you?
[04:59] Kogoro
    I didn't see them.
SIGN    Mori Kogoro
[05:02] Kogoro
    Something was suddenly sprayed in my eyes.
[05:05] Ran
    Something?
[05:06] Megure
    Pepper particles were found on his body,
[05:10] Megure
    so it was probably commercially
    available pepper spray.
[05:15] Conan
    Huh?
SIGN    Mori Kogoro
[05:24] Kogoro
    More importantly, is it true that
    Masamura-san received threatening letters?
[05:29] Megure
    Yes, several letters threatening to kill him,
[05:32] Megure
    if he didn't cease publication of his novel
    that's currently serialized in a magazine.
[05:39] Kogoro
    What's the novel about?
[05:41] Megure
    It's set 20 years in the past.
[05:43] Megure
    A group of boys repeatedly attack adults
    with metal bats like it's a game.
[05:50] Kogoro
    So it's a case of middle-aged man hunting.
[05:54] Megure
    Until now, Masamura-san's pleasant novels
    about adolescence have been popular.
[06:00] Megure
    This recent one has earned a lot of
    attention for breaking new ground.
[06:04] Kogoro
    Perhaps the threats were sent by
    a fan upset with the new direction.
[06:10] Megure
    Yes.
[06:12] Megure
    We're looking into people
    who may have held
[06:15] Megure
    a personal grudge against
    Masamura-san and sent him letters.
[06:19] Megure
    Also, just in case...
[06:20] Megure
    We're also investigating Yasuki Taizo-san,
    the man Masamura asked you to investigate.
[06:27] Megure
    By the way, this message was
    written in Masamura-san's notebook.
[06:33] Megure
    Do you know what it means?
[06:38] Kogoro
    I know! I've got it.
[06:40] Kogoro
    S-A-M-E spells "same" in English,
    meaning identical.
SIGN    "Same"
[06:47] Kogoro
    In other words, all the digits in 222 are
    the same, but that's not the case for 215.
[06:54] Kogoro
    That's what it says.
[06:56] Megure
    So, what exactly does that mean?
[07:00] Kogoro
    Um, well...

    He said he was going to ask an
    author he respected to take a look.
[07:17] Takagi
    Do you know who that was?
[07:20] Yasuki Mom
    Probably Masamura Chu-san,
    the author of those books.
[07:25] Kogoro
    I see! So that's how it is.
[07:29] Megure
    What is it, Mori-kun?
[07:31] Kogoro
    I figured out why Masamura-san asked me
    to investigate Yasuki-san's relationships.
SIGN    Del Mondo August Edition Masamura Chu New Chapter "Scary Little Monsters" Interview: Shinmei Kaori "The Murderer From Hell"
[07:41] Kogoro
    This novel began serialization
    after Yasuki-san's death.
[07:45] Kogoro
    In other words, Masamura-san
    began writing his new work
[07:50] Kogoro
    based on the manuscript Yasuki-san sent him.
[07:52] Ran
    Isn't that plagiarism?
SIGN    Del Mondo
[07:55] Conan
    Yeah, probably.
[07:56] Kogoro
    But when he received the threats
    demanding he stop publishing,
[08:01] Kogoro
    Masamura-san suspected Yasuki-san's
    novel may not have been fiction,
[08:05] Kogoro
    but a depiction of a crime
    that actually took place.
[08:08] Kogoro
    Believing someone involved sent the threats
[08:11] Kogoro
    because they feared
    the case would come to light,
[08:14] Kogoro
    he asked me to investigate.
[08:16] Megure
    I see.
[08:18] Kogoro
    But Masamura-san didn't stop publishing,
    so the culprit killed him for his silence.
[08:25] Megure
    It's certainly possible.
[08:27] Ran
    But, Dad, attacks against middle-aged men
    happened all over the place at the time.
[08:33] Ran
    How did they know it was about them?
[08:36] Kogoro
    There must be some reason they could tell.
[08:44] Takeuchi
    Mori-san, it's time to take your temperature.

    used to hang out with Yasuki.

[09:05] Kataoka
    Right. Excuse me.
SIGN    Kataoka
[09:10] Sato
    You're saying you never attacked
    any middle-aged men, then?
[09:13] Kataoka
    Of course not.
[09:14] Kataoka
    My integrity is spotless.
[09:19] Megure
    What do you think?
[09:21] Kogoro
    He writes a lot of noble things,
[09:25] Kogoro
    but if a past crime were revealed,
    it wouldn't just damage his image.

[10:56] Kogoro
    You're right.
[10:58] Conan
    There's a shark in it, too.
[11:00] Ran
    A shark?
[11:01] Conan
    The man the boys attacked
    had a stuffed shark.
[11:07] Megure
    So S-A-M-E was romaji for shark.
[11:10] Kogoro
    A stuffed shark, huh?
[11:13] Kogoro
    So, what's 222?
[11:16] Conan
    That hasn't appeared in the parts
    that have been published so far.
[11:21] Kogoro
    Maybe it was going to
    come up in a future chapter.
[11:25] Kogoro
    In any case, the culprit read the novel
    and realized it was about themselves.
[11:30] Kogoro
    They sent Masamura-san threatening letters,
[11:32] Kogoro
    but he didn't stop publishing,
    so they killed him.
[11:37] Ran
    But, Dad, Masamura-san was guarded
    because of the threatening letters.
[11:42] Ran
    Would he have let a stranger into his home?
[11:46] Kogoro
    They must've come up
    with some kind of excuse.
SIGN    Del Mondo
[11:50] Conan
    What kind of excuse, exactly?
[11:54] Conan
    Wait a minute.
SIGN    Del Mondo
[11:55] Conan
    Hey, Inspector Megure.
[11:58] Conan
    The culprit used pepper spray
    on Kogoro-no-ojisan, right?
[12:02] Conan
    What about Masamura-san?
[12:04] Megure
    Like Mori-kun, he was sprayed with pepper
    spray before being struck with a metal bat.
[12:10] Kogoro
    That's it.
[12:12] Kogoro
    The culprit hit Masamura-san with pepper
    spray the moment he opened the door.
[12:17] Megure
    I see.
[12:18] Kogoro
    Then that just leaves their alibis.
[12:21] Kogoro
    If we can just disprove their alibis...
[12:24] Takagi
    Kataoka-san has an alibi for the time
    the murder took place.
[12:27] Takagi
    He was holding a political fundraising
    party at the Haido City Hotel.
[12:32] Takagi
    Yoshinari-san was also there as a sushi chef.
[12:38] Kogoro
    It's suspicious that they
    were there together.
[12:42] Kogoro
    What kind of trick did they use?
[12:45] Kogoro
    Where's the kid?
[12:48] Ran
    He said he had some research to do
    for homework and went to the library.

SIGN    Haido Central Hospital
[13:42] Kogoro
    Thank you for coming here tonight.
[13:46] Megure
    Does this mean you've solved
    the case, Mori-kun?
[13:50] Kogoro
    Yes. Allow me to explain.
[13:53] Kogoro
    Masamura Chu-san received
    letters threatening to kill him,
[13:58] Kogoro
    if he didn't stop publishing his novel.
[14:01] Kogoro
    Masamura-san was killed
    some time after that.
[14:05] Kogoro
    So who sent the letters?
[14:09] Kataoka
    Didn't you have your forensics team examine
    them for handwriting and fingerprints?
[14:13] Megure
    Yes, but the letters were typed,
    not handwritten.
[14:19] Megure
    We found no fingerprints.
[14:22] Kataoka
    Then there's no way to know
    who sent the letters.
[14:26] Kogoro
    No. Though there
    weren't fingerprints on them,
[14:30] Kogoro
    there were stains.
[14:32] Kataoka
    What? Stains?
[14:35] Kogoro
    On the right edge of the page,
SIGN    Consider your life forfeit!

[14:38] Kogoro

[14:46] Kogoro
    That same stain was on the fliers
    I received from you, Kataoka-san.
[14:52] Kogoro
    And not just one of them, but all of them.
[14:57] Kogoro
    I believe that stain was caused
    by a dirty laser printer drum unit.
[15:02] Kogoro
    If the fliers printed at your office
    and the threatening letters
[15:06] Kogoro
    had the same stains, that means...
[15:10] Kataoka
    Yes, that's right. I sent those letters.
[15:14] Kataoka
    But it wasn't a threat.
[15:16] Kataoka
    I just couldn't tolerate someone publishing
[15:19] Kataoka
    a harmful novel about
    attacking middle-aged men
[15:21] Kataoka
    that might have a negative
    influence on our youth.
[15:23] Kogoro
    But isn't that what you two did in the past?
[15:28] Kataoka
    I never did that.
[15:31] Kataoka
    Yoshinari, you never did either, right?
[15:35] Yoshinari
    I did.
[15:36] Kataoka
    What?
[15:37] Yoshinari
    I don't want the police to think I
    helped you threaten and murder a man.
[15:41] Yoshinari
    I'm sorry for what I did, officers.
[15:44] Yoshinari
    But the statute of limitations
    has expired, hasn't it?
[15:48] Sato
    But the other day you said you didn't do it.
[15:51] Yoshinari
    Kataoka told me not to say anything.
[15:54] Kataoka
    Bastard!
[15:56] Kataoka
    How dare you betray me
    when I got you that party job?!
[16:00] Takagi
    Calm down.
[16:03] Kogoro
    So you admit you participated
    in the attacks, Kataoka-san.
[16:08] Kataoka
    Very well, I admit it.
[16:10] Kataoka
    But I didn't kill anyone.
[16:13] Kataoka
    I have an alibi.
[16:15] Kataoka
    The day of the murder, I was at
    the Haido City Hotel the whole time.
[16:18] Kogoro
    I know that.
[16:20] Kataoka
    Then why...
[16:22] Kogoro
    Kataoka-san, Yoshinari-san.
[16:24] Kogoro
    Do you remember the exact date when
    the attack described in the novel took place?
[16:30] Kataoka
    No, I don't.
[16:32] Yoshinari
    It was February 15th, wasn't it?
[16:36] Kataoka
    What?
[16:37] Yoshinari
    That's what it said in the novel.
[16:39] Kogoro
    Yes, but that date was wrong.
[16:43] Both
    What?
[16:44] Kogoro
    The correct date is February 22nd.
[16:47] Kogoro
    Masamura-san didn't know that either.
[16:49] Kogoro
    The culprit pointed out his mistake,
    which he noted down.
[16:53] Kogoro
    Perhaps the culprit couldn't forgive
    Masamura-san for getting the date wrong.
[17:00] Kogoro
    But he couldn't help it.
[17:02] Kogoro
    After all, Masamura-san had nothing to do
    with the attacks that happened 20 years ago,
[17:08] Kogoro
    because it was Yasuki-san, who wrote
    the experience he based his novel on,
[17:13] Kogoro
    that participated in the attacks.

[17:22] Takeuchi

[17:28] Kogoro
    It's all right, Ran.
[17:29] Ran
    Huh?
[17:31] Kogoro
    I figured you'd be coming soon.
[17:34] Kogoro
    Come in, Takeuchi-san.
[17:42] Kogoro
    The victim who died that day,
    Takeuchi Yuji-san, was your father,
[17:49] Kogoro
    wasn't he, Takeuchi Chigusa-san?
SIGN    Takeuchi Chigusa (29)
    Nurse
[17:55] Kogoro
    Takeuchi-san, you killed
    Masamura-san, didn't you?
[18:01] Kogoro
    That day, your father was on his way home
    with your precious stuffed shark
[18:07] Kogoro
    that he'd sent for mending when he was
    attacked by Kataoka-san and his friends.
[18:16] Kogoro
    The threatening letters put
    Masamura-san on his guard,
[18:19] Kogoro
    but he underestimated you because
    you were a woman and invited you in.
[18:23] Kogoro
    Takeuchi-san, was it your intention
    to kill him from the start?
[18:29] Takeuchi
    No! I just wanted him to know
    what these people had done!
[18:37] Takeuchi
    After the attack, my father lived
    the rest of his life in the hospital.
[18:45] Takeuchi
    My mother experienced nursing fatigue,
    and my family fell apart.
[18:49] Takeuchi
    Perhaps it was just a game for you!
[18:54] Takeuchi
    But... for your victims...
[18:59] Yoshinari
    I'm sorry.
[19:03] Kogoro
    What did Masamura-san say
    after you told him your story?
[19:10] Takeuchi
    He said...
[19:13] (Flashback) Masamura
    I understand how you feel.
[19:17] (Flashback) Masamura
    I really do.
[19:19] (Flashback) Takeuchi
    How could you possibly?!
[19:22] (Flashback) Masamura
    Then explain it to me.
[19:25] (Flashback) Masamura
    How does it truly feel to be a victim?!
[19:31] (Flashback) Takeuchi
    Stay back!
[19:34] (Flashback) Masamura
    Tell me.
[19:38] (Flashback) Masamura
    How does it truly feel to be a victim?
[19:57] (Flashback) Masamura
    Tell me.
[20:06] Takeuchi
    I was afraid.
[20:08] Takeuchi
    I thought I'd be attacked, like my father.
[20:13] Kogoro
    What about me?
[20:16] Takeuchi
    I'd lost my head.
[20:19] Takeuchi
    I thought one of his friends had showed up.
[20:21] Kogoro
    You must've been surprised to learn
    I was taken to this hospital.
[20:26] Kogoro
    Were you not anxious?
[20:29] Kogoro
    What if I remembered your face?
[20:34] Takeuchi
    I don't know, but...
[20:38] (Flashback) Conan
    So, who did this to you?
[20:41] (Flashback) Kogoro
    I didn't see them.
SIGN    Mori Kogoro
[20:43] (Flashback) Kogoro
    Something was suddenly sprayed in my eyes.
[20:47] Takeuchi
    I was relieved.
[20:50] Takeuchi
    Both because you hadn't seen me,
    and because you weren't seriously injured.
[20:56] Takeuchi
    But it was after that that I felt
    horrified by what I'd done.
[21:04] Takeuchi
    Regardless of the reason,
[21:06] Takeuchi
    I did to you what they did to my father.
[21:16] Takeuchi
    And to Masamura-san as well.
[21:20] Takeuchi
    I'm sorry!
[21:24] Kataoka
    Sorry doesn't cut it.
[21:27] Kataoka
    This has been a huge pain in the rear.
[21:29] Yoshinari
    You don't have to put it like that.
[21:33] Kataoka
    You're one to talk.
[21:36] Kataoka
    Well, I'll be leaving now.
[21:39] Megure
    Kataoka-san.
[21:41] Kataoka
    What? Is there more?
[21:43] Megure
    You should expect a visit from
    some investigators in the future
[21:47] Megure
    regarding the threatening letters.
SIGN    Haido Central Hospital
[23:15] Kogoro
    All right! Now that I'm out of
    the hospital, it's time to work!

    You're the great detective
    Mori Kogoro-san, aren't you?
[23:24] Kogoro
    Yes.

    Tell us about your cases.
[23:29] Kogoro
    Yes, yes, yes!
[23:32] Kogoro
    All right.
[23:33] Kogoro
    I'll tell you everything you
    want to know. Now let's go.
[23:37] Conan
    I thought you were ready to work.

    It stinks.
[23:59] Mitsuhiko
    We keep ending up in weird places.

    No, this is as far as we go.
