[00:13] Genta
    A rare card?!
[00:15] Mitsuhiko
    I recently acquired it.
[00:18] Mitsuhiko
    My rare card makes you my friend,
[00:25] Mitsuhiko
    which means I win!
[00:27] Genta
    I demand a rematch!

    Well, you were watching!

[02:44] Conan
    "The Secret Hidden By the Cards!"
[02:50] Mitsuhiko
    Despite how it seems, this is
    actually a cerebral game.
[02:53] Mitsuhiko
    Trading card games are currently
    hugely popular among adults, too.
[02:57] Agasa
    It's true. This place used to only
    sell used books, but now...
[03:04] Conan
    Looks like they're pretty popular.
[03:07] Genta
    Super rare cards are really expensive.
[03:10] Haibara
    Haven't there even been
    thefts because of it?
[03:13] Mitsuhiko
    Only in a few cases.
[03:16] Haibara
    Does that make it a harsh game
    in which only the wealthy win?
[03:21] Nitta
    We don't appreciate you saying that.
[03:26] Mitsuhiko
    Nitta-san and Masaki-san!
[03:30] Agasa
    You know them?
[03:31] Mitsuhiko
    Oh, of course not!

[03:39] Mitsuhiko
    Nitta-san in particular is a

    full of expensive rare cards.
[03:46] Nitta
    That's right. Even the have-nots
    can defeat the haves.
[03:59] Conan
    Genta, you could've won.
[04:01] Genta
    Seriously?
[04:03] Nitta
    That's trading cards for you.
[04:07] Nitta
    The truth is, I just can't afford
    to buy rare cards.
[04:11] Masaki
    Don't say that, Nitta.
[04:13] Masaki
    Watching him made me feel like
    my life wasn't hopeless after all.

[04:29] Kuno
    Yes, Zaizen-san.

    What's their problem? Gross.
[04:34] Mitsuhiko
    That scary-looking man is called Zaizen.
[04:37] Agasa
    Are they tournament regulars, too?

    Yes, but he's the opposite of Nitta-san.

    Hey, I can hear you.
[04:51] Zaizen
    More importantly, your time's up.
[04:54] Zaizen
    It's our turn now. Move it.
[04:57] Genta
    Okay, fine.
[04:59] Genta
    Come on, man. There are other open tables.
[05:03] Zaizen
    We're famous.
[05:05] Zaizen
    We can't relax unless we're
    at this corner table.
[05:09] Nitta
    Sorry.
[05:13] Conan
    I guess the four of you
    frequently play against each other.
[05:16] Nitta
    What?
[05:17] Conan
    You all seem to have assigned seats.
[05:20] Nitta
    We became friends through tournaments.
[05:23] Zaizen
    Friends? No, we're rivals.
[05:27] Zaizen
    I'm not here to play games. I'm here to win.
[05:33] Genta
    W-Wow!
[05:34] Mitsuhiko
    So many super rare cards!
[05:37] Nitta
    You must be confident
    to reveal your deck like that.
[05:41] Zaizen
    I wanted to show you that no matter
    what you do, you don't stand a chance.
[05:46] Zaizen
    Hey!
[05:47] Zaizen
    Don't touch them with your filthy hands.
[05:49] Zaizen
    How much do you think they're worth?
[05:51] Agasa
    You don't have to put it like that.
[05:53] Masaki
    Stop!
[05:54] Zaizen
    What?
[05:56] Masaki
    Your family just happens to be rich.
[05:59] Masaki
    You don't have to be such a showoff!
[06:00] Zaizen
    What did you say?
[06:02] Masaki
    Now you're getting violent, huh?
[06:06] Masaki
    Does this mean you don't
    mind me exposing that?
[06:13] Conan
    What do you mean by that?
[06:16] Masaki
    Well...
[06:18] Zaizen
    Okay, okay. I'm sorry.
[06:22] Masaki
    You, too, Kuno.
[06:25] Masaki
    You're in no position
    to be laughing at Zaizen.
[06:28] Kuno
    I w-was just following orders.
[06:31] Zaizen
    Why, you...
[06:33] Kuno
    I'm sorry.
[06:34] Masaki
    Don't embarrass yourself by making excuses.
[06:37] Nitta
    Now, now. We're all here.
[06:41] Nitta
    Let's get started. Okay?
[06:46] Zaizen
    I'm going to the bathroom first.
[06:49] Kuno
    Right.
[06:56] Nitta
    It's just one of Zaizen's bad habits.
[06:59] Nitta
    He always needs to use
    the bathroom before a game.
[07:03] Zaizen
    Hey! You better not lay a single
    finger on my cards.
[07:07] Zaizen
    I don't mean just the kids either.
    You, too, Nitta!
[07:10] Zaizen
    Kuno, keep an eye on them.
[07:12] Kuno
    Yes, sir.
[07:16] Conan/Id
    What is he, a child?
[07:23] Nitta
    Seriously? Okay, I get it.
[07:25] Nitta
    If you're that worried, we'll step away.
[07:28] Nitta
    Come on, kids.
[07:31] Nitta
    You wouldn't want him to accuse you
    of stealing his cards later, would you?
[07:35] Nitta
    Go on, shoo.
[07:40] Conan
    Sheesh.
[07:50] Man A
    What was that? I heard a really loud sound.
[07:52] Woman A
    Was it an explosion? What's happening?
[07:54] Woman B
    Fire!
[07:56] Man B
    What? A fire?
[07:57] Man C
    Where's the exit?
[07:59] Man D
    Let's get out of here.
[08:01] Employee
    Please evacuate the store, everyone!
[08:04] Zaizen
    What is this? What's happening?
[08:07] Agasa
    Kids, we need to get out of here.
[08:10] Agasa
    Hurry.
[08:13] Conan
    But...
[08:14] Haibara
    Yoshida-san, don't let go of my hand.
[08:16] Ayumi
    Okay.

    Are you okay?
[08:24] Conan
    Thanks.

[08:26] Employee
    Everyone, please calm down.
[08:28] Employee
    There is no fire. It's not a fire.
[08:34] Agasa
    Conan-kun, there you are.
[08:38] Agasa
    It looks like the others are all right, too.
[08:43] Nitta
    Where's Masaki?
[08:44] Agasa
    Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him.
[08:54] Agasa
    It's no use. He's dead.
[08:57] Nitta
    No...
[09:06] Zaizen
    Crushed by a shelf, huh?
[09:08] Zaizen
    Unlucky.
[09:11] Nitta
    You bast—
[09:24] Conan/Id
    Did this hit the fire alarm and trigger it?
[09:28] Conan/Id
    But why did that shelf fall, anyway?
[09:35] Conan
    Looking for something?
[09:37] Kuno
    Oh, no.
[09:52] Chiba
    The deceased is Masaki
    Naoto-san, 28 years old.
[09:56] Chiba
    The cause of death is a cerebral contusion.
[09:58] Chiba
    His head struck the floor
    when he was crushed by a shelf.
[10:03] Zaizen
    Sounds like he just got unlucky.
[10:06] Kuno
    Poor guy.
[10:12] Chiba
    Were you friends with the victim?
[10:16] Nitta
    Yes.
[10:16] Chiba
    But why did the shelf fall?
[10:19] Employee
    Normally the legs are fixed
    in place so they don't fall,
SIGN    Work In Progress
[10:23] Employee
    but we happened to be rearranging
    a section of the store.
[10:26] Employee
    That shelf was part of that work.
[10:28] Chiba
    So the leg wasn't fixed in place.
[10:31] Employee
    No. I'm so, so sorry.
[10:34] Ayumi
    But this is a pretty heavy shelf.
[10:37] Mitsuhiko
    I doubt it would fall that easily.
[10:40] Genta
    Maybe someone pushed it.
[10:43] Chiba
    Actually, several witnesses saw
    the shelf fall on its own.
[10:48] Chiba
    I don't think it was pushed.
[10:50] Zaizen
    That shelf looks old, and it had
    some pretty heavy things on it.
[10:55] Zaizen
    It was an accident.
[10:57] Employee
    I'm so sorry.
[10:59] Conan
    Huh?
[11:02] Chiba
    What is it, Conan-kun?
[11:04] Conan
    Look at this.
[11:07] Chiba
    Looks like something rubbed against it.
[11:09] Conan
    It's new, too.
[11:12] Zaizen
    It must've happened when it fell.
[11:14] Zaizen
    This was obviously an accident! Clearly!
[11:17] Zaizen
    Keep your mouth shut, kid.
[11:20] Conan
    Sounds like you're desperate
    for this to be an accident.
[11:23] Conan
    Is there a reason you don't
    want an investigation?
[11:27] Agasa
    Come to think of it, you and
    Masaki-san had an odd argument.
[11:31] Agasa
    He threatened to expose something.
[11:34] Chiba
    Expose what exactly?
[11:36] Chiba
    Are you hiding something? Be honest.
[11:41] Zaizen
    Masaki was blackmailing me!
[11:45] Zaizen
    During the last tournament, I looked at
    my opponent's deck before our game.
[11:53] Chiba
    What do you mean by that?
[11:56] Mitsuhiko
    It's a serious breach of the rules.
[11:59] Zaizen
    Masaki secretly filmed me
    doing it, and then...
[12:06] Chiba
    I see. So you didn't like Masaki-san.
[12:11] Zaizen
    I didn't do it.
[12:12] Zaizen
    Kuno was being blackmailed
    for helping me cheat, too.
[12:18] Kuno
    I w-was just following orders.
[12:21] Kuno
    I owe Zaizen-san money,
[12:23] Kuno
    but Masaki-san said I was just as guilty.
[12:27] Nitta
    Is that true? Masaki was blackmailing you?
[12:30] Ayumi
    But he seemed like a nice guy.
[12:32] Kuno
    He was just like the cards.
[12:35] Kuno
    Flip him over, and you'll
    find another face beneath.
[12:37] Haibara
    Is that why you killed Masaki-san?
[12:40] Zaizen
    Yeah, right. I called it blackmail,
    but he just took a few rare cards.
[12:45] Zaizen
    I wouldn't kill anyone over that. Right, Kuno?
[12:48] Kuno
    Of course not.
[12:50] Kuno
    Besides, when that shelf fell,
    none of us laid a finger on it.
[12:57] Kuno
    How could we have pushed it?
[13:00] Nitta
    You're right.
[13:05] Conan/Id
    How, huh?
[13:08] Genta
    Look at this.
[13:10] Mitsuhiko
    Look at all those rare cards.
[13:12] Ayumi
    Wow.
[13:16] Conan
    Hey, guys!
[13:18] Conan
    That's dangerous. Get away from there.
[13:21] Genta
    Okay, fine.
[13:23] Both
    Okay...
[13:25] Takagi
    You, too, Conan-kun.
[13:28] Conan
    Of course.
[13:32] Conan
    This is your fault.
[13:34] Genta
    But...
[13:37] Conan/Id
    Wait a minute. Could it be?
[13:39] Ayumi
    What is it?
[13:41] Conan/Id
    That's it.
[13:42] Genta
    Hey, Conan.
[13:44] Mitsuhiko
    We'll get in trouble again.
SIGN    Fire Hydrant
[13:48] Conan
    Ouch...
[13:50] Nitta
    You shouldn't do that.
[13:51] Nitta
    You were just warned.
[13:54] Nitta
    It's dangerous.
[13:54] Conan
    Right.
[14:01] Conan
    Thanks, Nitta-san.
[14:04] Nitta
    Sure.
[14:06] Conan/Id
    Now I've got all the cards I need.

[14:18] Chiba
    We checked the area around the shelf
    and the entire store,
[14:22] Chiba
    but we didn't find anything suspicious.
[14:23] Takagi
    So it was an accident, then.
[14:26] Zaizen
    We'll be leaving now.
[14:28] Takagi
    Got it. The police should
    be contacting you later.
[14:33] Zaizen
    Yeah, we know.
[14:35] Agasa
    Could you wait one moment, please?
[14:37] Zaizen
    What? Why?
[14:40] Agasa
    Because this wasn't an accident.
    It was murder.
[14:45] Agasa
    The way the shelf fell makes it
    hard to believe this was an accident.
[14:50] Agasa
    Right, Kuno-san?
[14:52] Agasa
    You watched it happen right in front of you.
[14:55] Agasa
    You must've felt it was strange.
[14:57] Agasa
    Isn't that why you felt compelled to examine
    the area around the shelf afterwards?
[15:02] Kuno
    B-But nothing strange was found.
[15:05] Agasa
    No, but there was someone who
    acted strangely when the shelf fell.
[15:11] Mitsuhiko
    Who?
[15:13] Agasa
    You, Nitta-san.
[15:19] Agasa
    Before the fall, you moved away
    from the table to avoid Kuno-san's gaze.
[15:25] Agasa
    You could've walked directly to the side,
[15:28] Agasa
    but you specifically
    walked diagonally forward.
[15:32] Agasa
    You even pushed us out of the way to do so.
[15:35] Haibara
    You're right.
[15:37] Agasa
    Why is that?
[15:38] Agasa
    Because it would've been difficult
    to topple the shelf by moving to the side.
[15:42] Agasa
    In order to guarantee a fall,
[15:44] Agasa
    you had to move forward.
[15:47] Agasa
    In other words, your body
    was tied to the shelf
[15:49] Agasa
    using a transparent thread
    such as nylon string.
[15:54] Agasa
    That would explain your strange movement
[15:57] Agasa
    and why the shelf fell
    immediately afterwards.
[16:03] Agasa
    You looped the nylon string around
    the nail on top of the shelf beforehand.
[16:09] Agasa
    While we were distracted by Genta-kun
    and Mitsuhiko-kun's game,
[16:14] Agasa
    you attached the other end
    to the back of your belt.
[16:20] Agasa
    That's how you tied yourself to the shelf.
[16:23] Zaizen
    Did you anticipate I'd go
    to the bathroom, too?
[16:26] Kuno
    And that I'd be told to watch his cards?
[16:29] Agasa
    Naturally, he considered that as well.
[16:31] Agasa
    All he had to do was avoid Kuno-san's gaze
    and naturally move away from the table.
[16:37] Agasa
    Then...
[16:38] Mitsuhiko
    Pulled by Nitta-san's body...
[16:41] Genta
    The shelf would come crashing down.
[16:46] Agasa
    He used everyone and everything
    like they were cards in his deck,
[16:50] Agasa
    like a true TCG strategist.
[16:54] Chiba
    Excuse me.
[17:07] Nitta
    Oh, please. You're all taking this seriously?
[17:11] Nitta
    How is this little scrape evidence?
[17:14] Nitta
    Are you sure you're all right?
[17:15] Takagi
    You're right. That's not enough.
[17:17] Nitta
    And critically, where's the nylon string?
[17:20] Chiba
    We'll search him right away.
[17:22] Agasa
    Don't bother.
[17:23] Agasa
    He probably retrieved it
    while we were evacuating,
[17:27] Agasa
    and found an opportunity
    to flush it down the toilet.
[17:31] Agasa
    Am I wrong?
[17:33] Nitta
    But unless it's found,
    your deduction is mere fancy.
[17:39] Nitta
    Game over.
[17:41] Nitta
    Too bad.
[17:43] Agasa
    No, we're just getting started.
[17:48] Agasa
    What I've been explaining is only
    how you toppled the shelf.
[17:52] Agasa
    A camouflage meant to make us
    think that's how Masaki-san died.
[17:57] Takagi
    What do you mean?
[17:58] Agasa
    It's too convenient for him to have
    simply gotten unlucky when it fell.
[18:04] Agasa
    He was actually killed after the shelf fell.
[18:14] Chiba
    How is that possible?
[18:17] Agasa
    Of course. Everyone was panicking then
    and rushing towards the exit
[18:23] Agasa
    because of the fire alarm.
[18:27] Agasa
    Naturally, the shelf was toppled
    so that would happen.
[18:32] Agasa
    After drawing everyone away,
    you were left alone,
[18:37] Agasa
    and killed Masaki-san.
[18:39] Agasa
    The fire alarm and shouting erased
    the sounds you made.
[18:47] Agasa
    Then you met up with us
    like nothing happened.
[18:53] Nitta
    Now this is truly fantasy.
    You don't have any evidence.
[18:57] Agasa
    But there is, on your legs.
[19:04] Agasa
    Detective Takagi, get forensics.
[19:06] Takagi
    Right.

[19:12] Takagi
    Shining this light on his legs
    will reveal everything.
[19:27] Agasa
    The shape and size of blood
    splatter tells us a lot of things,
[19:33] Agasa
    like the distance from the victim
    and direction you were facing.
[19:40] Takagi
    It's clearly blood splatter from
    close-range while facing the victim.
[19:45] Agasa
    When Masaki-san was crushed
    by the falling shelf,
[19:48] Agasa
    you were facing away from him
    some distance away.
[19:53] Agasa
    In other words, the blood
    didn't get on you then.
[19:56] Agasa
    It happened later, when you killed him.
[19:59] Agasa
    Otherwise you wouldn't have blood
    splatter up the front of your legs.
[20:09] Agasa
    Reality isn't a card game.
[20:11] Agasa
    Blood flies when you defeat someone,
[20:15] Agasa
    and you lost because you
    failed to consider that.
[20:23] Nitta
    You're right about everything.
[20:25] Takagi
    Why would you do this?
[20:27] Nitta
    Because I was at my limit!
[20:30] Nitta
    I couldn't keep winning
    with just cheap cards.
[20:33] Zaizen
    No... Could it be?
[20:36] Nitta
    Yeah, it's exactly what you're thinking.
[21:11] Nitta
    He blackmailed me.

[21:36] Nitta
    When I thought of it that way...
[21:39] Agasa
    Is that why you plotted to kill someone?
