"Shake My Hand!"
**[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!
**[00:29] Mitsuhiko**
Bring it on.
**[00:32] Mitsuhiko**
Haibara-san?
**[00:33] Haibara**
Boys sure love their battles, don't they?
**[00:37] Genta**
Well, you were watching!
**[00:40] Haibara**
Anyone would watch a fight
happening right in front of them.
**[00:44] Haibara**
It's like that.

**[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!
***SIGN*** Masaki Naoto (28)
Part-Time Worker
**[03:33] Mitsuhiko**
They're both top players who frequently
appear at TCG tournaments.
***SIGN*** Nitta Tsukasa (28)
Part-Time Worker
**[03:39] Mitsuhiko**
Nitta-san in particular is a
hero who uses cheap cards
**[03:43] Mitsuhiko**
to defeat opponents with decks
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.
***SIGN*** Tiger Break
**[04:20] Zaizen**
Ugh, yuck. Enough of that crap.
**[04:22] Zaizen**
Ultimately, money is everything.
***SIGN*** Kuno Osamu (27)

**[04:27] Zaizen**
Right, Kuno?
**[04:29] Kuno**
Yes, Zaizen-san.
**[04:30] Genta**
What's their problem? Gross.
**[04:34] Mitsuhiko**
That scary-looking man is called Zaizen.
**[04:37] Agasa**
Are they tournament regulars, too?
**[04:39] Mitsuhiko**
Yes, but he's the opposite of Nitta-san.
***SIGN*** Zaizen Daigo (30)
Young Entrepreneur
**[04:43] Mitsuhiko**
He's the "final boss" of tournaments
who crushes opponents
**[04:45] Mitsuhiko**
with the rare cards he bought for a fortune.
**[04:48] Zaizen**
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.
**[08:23] Nitta**
Are you okay?
**[08:24] Conan**
Thanks.
***SIGN*** Register
**[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

**[13:50] 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.
***SIGN*** Did you see the video?

**[21:31] Nitta**
I had committed a crime.
**[21:33] Nitta**
I'd be his servant for the rest of my life!
**[21:36] Nitta**
When I thought of it that way...
**[21:39] Agasa**
Is that why you plotted to kill someone?
**[21:43] Agasa**
The moment you did that, you failed,
**[21:45] Agasa**
both as a TCG player and at life.
