[00:01] ---
    Encounters are mysterious!
    But the world is even more so!
[00:04] ---
    I'm so glad I'm with you!
[00:07] ---
    Great detective work is on today's menu!
    Eat up and solve the case!
[00:10] ---
    He sees the single truth for what it is,
[00:11] ---
    and looks like a kid but
    has the mind of an adult!
[00:13] ---
    His name? Detective Conan!
[01:52] ---
    During a sudden blackout
    at Ran's cooking class,
[01:57] ---
    the teacher, Uemori Michi,
    was stabbed in the back and killed!
[02:04] ---
    String and ice had been used to
    turn off the electrical room breaker.
[02:11] ---
    And, after investigation,
    the possibility of an outside killer vanished!
[02:20] ---
    "The Cooking Classroom
    Murder Case (Part 2)."
[02:26] ---
    All four of you could have set up
    the ice trick in the electrical room.
[02:33] ---
    There's a refrigerator here,
[02:35] ---
    and the ice could've
    been brought from home.
[02:38] ---
    Meaning the murder weapon is the issue.
[02:41] ---
    Yes...
[02:42] ---
    Yuko-san. Are there any
    ice picks in this classroom?
[02:46] ---
    Yes. In the bottom drawer,
    next to the microwave oven.
[02:56] ---
    Inspector. These iron
    skewers have sharp tips.
[03:00] ---
    Yuko-san. Do you keep
    count of how many there are?
[03:03] ---
    Yes. There should be ten.
[03:06] ---
    There are only nine here.
[03:09] ---
    That can't be! There were
    ten when I counted last night!
[03:13] ---
    Inspector! We have
    our murder weapon!
[03:16] ---
    The killer stole a skewer
    from that drawer in advance
[03:20] ---
    and used it to stab Uemori-san!
[03:22] ---
    But could you really stab with this?
    There's nowhere to grip it.
[03:27] ---
    If it were me, I'd choose
    something with a handle.
[03:30] ---
    Plus, the mark on her back seemed
    smaller than those skewers' tips.
[03:38] ---
    Inspector. We should
    check their belongings.
[03:42] ---
    Yeah.
[03:43] ---
    Okay, everyone. Please place
    all your belongings on the table.
[03:50] ---
    Everyone has aprons, pens,
    handkerchiefs, and recipes...
[03:56] ---
    I don't see the skewer anywhere.
[03:58] ---
    Oh? Only Kazue-*san
    *has a notebook and a brush.
[04:04] ---
    So what?! I don't
    like that tone of yours!
[04:07] ---
    Yuko-san. After Kazue-san arrived,
    did you leave the classroom?
[04:12] ---
    Yes, I went to the bathroom.
[04:16] ---
    I've figured it out.
[04:18] ---
    You killed her, Kazue-san!
[04:23] ---
    Kazue-san did?!
[04:24] ---
    You can't be serious!
[04:25] ---
    You stole the skewer while
    Yuko-san was in the bathroom!
[04:30] ---
    You were able to accurately
    find and stab Uemori-san in the dark
[04:37] ---
    because your eyes were used to
    the dark thanks to those dark glasses!
[04:43] ---
    Isn't that right?!
[04:45] ---
    Quit joking around!
    I'm sensitive to light due to my age!
[04:51] ---
    That's why I wear these glasses!
[04:54] ---
    Kazue-san, during class,
[04:57] ---
    you left your bag at your
    feet instead of in the dining room.
[05:02] ---
    Why?
[05:05] ---
    Because it's more convenient that way!
[05:08] ---
    Yes, for taking out the skewer!
[05:11] ---
    I don't have the skewer!
[05:14] ---
    Besides, how could I stab
    someone if it didn't have a handle?!
[05:18] ---
    But you could make one.
[05:22] ---
    Using this brush of yours!
[05:28] ---
    This will create a handle!
[05:32] ---
    Oh! You're right!
[05:34] ---
    And the skewer in question
    is hidden in this notebook!
[05:43] ---
    I-It's not there?! That's impossible!
[05:46] ---
    The skewer is supposed
    to be under the rings!
[05:50] ---
    Hey. Is this the missing skewer?
[05:58] ---
    A splint?
[05:59] ---
    Oh, yeah! My mother-in-law did that!
[06:02] ---
    She asked if there was
    anything to use as a splint last night.
[06:07] ---
    It would seem the murder
    weapon wasn't a skewer.
[06:11] ---
    Yeah...
[06:12] ---
    Honestly! Give me a break, will you?!
[06:21] ---
    Hello? This is Megure.
[06:26] ---
    Got it.
[06:27] ---
    That was the hospital.
[06:29] ---
    Uemori-san's wound was 5 cm
    deep and under 1 mm in diameter.
[06:36] ---
    Under one millimeter?!
    Then that means...
[06:39] ---
    The murder weapon wasn't a skewer
    or an ice pick. It was needle-like.
[06:45] ---
    Needle-like...
[06:48] ---
    Oh! So it was you!
[06:52] ---
    You used to be a nurse, as I recall.
[06:56] ---
    A nurse would be
    familiar with using syringes.
[07:00] ---
    There must be some syringe needles less than
    1 mm in diameter and over 5 cm in length!
[07:06] ---
    So what?!
[07:07] ---
    Now I got it!
[07:09] ---
    You killed her, Kaoru-san!
[07:13] ---
    D-Don't be stupid! How am I the killer?!
[07:18] ---
    That eye patch isn't for a sty!
[07:21] ---
    It was meant to keep one
    eye accustomed to the dark!
[07:25] ---
    When the lights went out,
    you removed that eye patch
[07:29] ---
    and used your left eye to commit the crime!
[07:32] ---
    In-law strife was
    probably your motive!
[07:37] ---
    Don't make these things up!
[07:39] ---
    Then please remove your eye patch.
[07:43] ---
    That should be no problem,
    if you really have a sty.
[07:50] ---
    Fine.
[07:56] ---
    Kaoru-san!
    How'd you get that black eye?!
[08:00] ---
    My husband hit me.
[08:02] ---
    Then you wore the
    eye patch to hide that bruise?
[08:07] ---
    Yes. That's right.
[08:10] ---
    Everyone here knows,
[08:13] ---
    but my mother-in-law dotes
    over her son Tatsuhiko, my husband.
[08:18] ---
    She was always,
    "Tatsuhiko this, Tatsuhiko that..."
[08:21] ---
    He even hit me last night
    because I talked bad about her.
[08:26] ---
    Where is Tatsuhiko-san now?
[08:28] ---
    He left for Hawaii on a
    business trip this morning.
[08:32] ---
    I wonder how he'll react when
    he finds out his mother's been killed.
[08:36] ---
    I'd love to see it.
[08:37] ---
    Y-You still aren't cleared of suspicion!
    You can see out of that eye!
[08:43] ---
    But the weapon
    wasn't a syringe needle.
[08:46] ---
    There was almost no blood
    on Uemori-sensei's back.
[08:51] ---
    Blood would've followed
    the syringe needle up to the skin
[08:55] ---
    after it broke through the capillaries!
[08:59] ---
    Why do you insist on making me the killer?
[09:04] ---
    Just so you know, I'm not the
    only one with a motive for killing her.
[09:08] ---
    The other three
    have plenty of reason, too.
[09:11] ---
    What?!
[09:13] ---
    Kaoru-san! Stop saying nonsense!
[09:17] ---
    Is it nonsense?
[09:19] ---
    You've been friends
    with her for over thirty years,
[09:23] ---
    but you surely hated her husband.
[09:27] ---
    After all, she stole your lover
    twenty-seven years ago and married him!
[09:35] ---
    You've stayed single
    ever since, and only came here
[09:38] ---
    so you could see your old lover,
    her husband and my father-in-law.
[09:46] ---
    He died last year of an illness, though.
[09:50] ---
    I guess you must've really loved
    him to keep coming to this class.
[09:58] ---
    Oh! So that's why she...
[10:01] ---
    He was such a nice, gentle man...
[10:05] ---
    Nishitani-kun, I hear she was going
    to cut off your financial support.
[10:13] ---
    Because she found someone
    with more talent than you.
[10:17] ---
    So you had to give up your dream
    of having your own restaurant.
[10:23] ---
    Is that true, Nishitani-kun?
[10:26] ---
    Yuko-san, you surely held a grudge
    because she stole your recipes.
[10:31] ---
    No! I didn't!
[10:34] ---
    I saw it.
[10:36] ---
    I saw you crying while arguing with her.
[10:40] ---
    She coldly responded with,
    "If you don't like it, then surpass me."
[10:49] ---
    In other words, all four of you
    had reasons for killing Uemori-san.
[10:56] ---
    Come to think of it...
[10:57] ---
    Nishitani-san, you massaged
    Uemori-sensei's shoulders.
[11:03] ---
    Yes.
[11:04] ---
    Meaning you must know
    about therapeutic points on the back.
[11:08] ---
    I believe acupuncture needles
    are less than 1 mm in diameter.
[11:14] ---
    But, Mori-san.
[11:16] ---
    Yuko-san and I couldn't find her in the dark,
[11:20] ---
    and I've never touched an
    acupuncture needle in my life.
[11:24] ---
    Mori-kun, I've had
    acupuncture on occasion.
[11:27] ---
    Those needles would be too thin.
[11:30] ---
    They're so thin and weak that
    stabbing 5 cm in would be impossible.
[11:35] ---
    Too thin, huh?
[11:38] ---
    Wait a minute.
[11:39] ---
    Here's the blouse
    you asked me to mend.
[11:46] ---
    A sewing set. You're the
    only one with one, correct?
[11:51] ---
    What difference does that make?
[11:56] ---
    5 cm in length.
    Under 1 mm in width.
[12:00] ---
    Matches the murder weapon perfectly!
[12:02] ---
    Get real! How would you pull
    it out if you stuck it all the way in?!
[12:07] ---
    Oh, right.
[12:08] ---
    Sheesh...
[12:09] ---
    Besides, people are
    surprisingly tough-skinned,
[12:14] ---
    and there's no way to grip a
    sewing needle for stabbing anyway.
[12:17] ---
    Oh... So that's out of the question?
[12:21] ---
    It's true that a sewing needle
    fits the murder weapon perfectly.
[12:26] ---
    But a 5 cm stab
    wound wouldn't be possible.
[12:29] ---
    Wait! A sewing needle...
[12:31] ---
    Yeah! With that,
    you could stab someone!
[12:35] ---
    And, being able to find
    Uemori-sensei in the dark...
[12:40] ---
    It would be easy with that,
    and not immediately obvious!
[12:45] ---
    So that's why that
    person made that mistake...
[13:03] ---
    This is the men's room window,
[13:06] ---
    so it should be around
    here somewhere.
[13:11] ---
    Here it is!
    Which means it contains...
[13:15] ---
    Kazue-san.
[13:17] ---
    It's possible that a sewing
    needle was the murder weapon,
[13:19] ---
    so we'll have to run
    a test for blood on them.
[13:23] ---
    Do as you like.
    There's no point, though.
[13:26] ---
    It's also possible to
    hide a needle in your clothes,
[13:30] ---
    so we'll need to conduct body searches.
[13:32] ---
    Eh?! Even that?!
[13:34] ---
    We have our rights!
[13:39] ---
    I found it! This is it!
[13:43] ---
    So that person really is the killer!
[13:55] ---
    I know who did it.
    Now for the murder weapon.
[14:03] ---
    If I were going to hide that weapon...
[14:11] ---
    Ah! Inside there!
[14:14] ---
    That's quite a clever hiding place!
[14:17] ---
    Inspector Megure.
[14:19] ---
    Oh, how'd it go?
[14:20] ---
    No blood was detected
    on anything in the sewing set.
[14:25] ---
    I see. Thank you.
[14:29] ---
    Inspector!
[14:30] ---
    Did the body search
    turn up anything, Takagi-kun?
[14:34] ---
    Nishitani-*san
    *doesn't have a needle on him.
[14:36] ---
    And the women?
[14:38] ---
    Nothing turned up.
[14:41] ---
    Inspector.
[14:43] ---
    Could you let Yuko-san and me go?
[14:46] ---
    As I mentioned before, neither
    of us could've found her in the dark.
[14:55] ---
    That's true...
[14:59] ---
    Inspector, you must
    not let those two go yet.
[15:04] ---
    Huh? Why not, Mori-kun?
[15:07] ---
    Because I know who the killer is.
[15:10] ---
    Say what?!
[15:11] ---
    You do, Dad?!
[15:13] ---
    W-Who's the killer?!
[15:16] ---
    The one who murdered Uemori Michi-san...
[15:20] ---
    ...was you, Nishitani-san!
[15:25] ---
    What?!
[15:29] ---
    Mori-san, weren't you listening just now?
[15:34] ---
    Yuko-san and I couldn't have--
[15:35] ---
    There was a way to find
    Uemori-san, even in the darkness.
[15:40] ---
    By wearing special
    contact lenses in advance.
[15:44] ---
    Contact lenses?
[15:46] ---
    Yes. He wore black,
    sunglass-like contact lenses.
[15:53] ---
    When he first entered the classroom,
    he didn't have them in.
[15:58] ---
    Nor when he snuck through
    the back entrance before then.
[16:02] ---
    This is because they
    would've been inconvenient
[16:05] ---
    when setting up the ice
    trick in the electrical room.
[16:09] ---
    He put the contacts in about
    ten minutes before class began,
[16:13] ---
    in the bathroom.
[16:15] ---
    Eh?! Then that's why he--?
[16:17] ---
    Yes. That's why when
    he ran into you in the hallway...
[16:22] ---
    Ran-san! Sorry!
    My mistake! You look alike!
[16:26] ---
    The hallway here is rather dark,
[16:30] ---
    so he couldn't differentiate
    between you and Yuko-san.
[16:33] ---
    But he wasn't clumsier than usual!
[16:38] ---
    That's because he's skilled
    and the classroom was quite bright.
[16:44] ---
    But do such convenient
    contact lenses actually exist?
[16:49] ---
    No, not normally.
[16:51] ---
    In Japan, contact lenses
    are pharmaceutical products,
[16:55] ---
    Visible Light Transmission
[16:55] ---
    so there's a specific standard
    for visible light transmission,
[17:00] ---
    so contact lenses as dark
    as sunglasses can't be sold.
[17:06] ---
    The color contacts that were
    recently put on the market
[17:09] ---
    only have color around the lens;
    the middle is still transparent.
[17:15] ---
    But lenses with color in any
    location can be specially ordered
[17:19] ---
    for use in things like
    TV dramas and commercials.
[17:22] ---
    So they're not
    absolutely impossible to obtain.
[17:26] ---
    In any event, Nishitani-san let his
    eyes grow accustomed to the dark,
[17:31] ---
    and the instant the lights went
    out, he quickly removed the contacts,
[17:36] ---
    opened the sliding door,
    approached Uemori-san,
[17:39] ---
    and stabbed her in the back!
[17:44] ---
    Mori-kun! What was the murder weapon?!
[17:47] ---
    I believe the weapon was
    indeed a sewing needle.
[17:50] ---
    A sewing needle?
[17:52] ---
    But you said yourself it wouldn't
    be easy to stab 5 cm with one,
[17:56] ---
    and it might get stuck
    if you're not careful!
[17:59] ---
    A thimble and some
    thread solve those problems.
[18:03] ---
    A thimble and thread?
[18:06] ---
    A thimble? You mean the ring
    that's used when doing needlework?
[18:12] ---
    That's right. Have a look at
    Nishitani-san's right index finger.
[18:21] ---
    He used the ring as a thimble?!
[18:24] ---
    Yes. He put a thread
    through the needle, and...
[18:32] ---
    But I believe he burned the thread
    using his stove to be rid of it.
[18:39] ---
    Hold on! That means the evidence is--!
[18:42] ---
    Fear not, Inspector.
[18:44] ---
    Conan!
[18:47] ---
    I found this behind the bathrooms!
[18:50] ---
    A contact lens case?
[18:53] ---
    Yeah!
[18:54] ---
    Nishitani-san threw it out the
    bathroom window after putting 'em in!
[18:58] ---
    And I found this
    one inside his cooking bowl!
[19:06] ---
    A contact lens...
[19:08] ---
    Takagi-kun!
[19:09] ---
    Right!
[19:16] ---
    Inspector! I found the other lens!
[19:19] ---
    Nishitani-san. Think you
    can you explain this for us?
[19:23] ---
    Is something wrong with
    wearing sunglass-like contacts?
[19:29] ---
    You should find the weapon
    before accusing someone of murder!
[19:33] ---
    But the weapon is in your belongings.
[19:40] ---
    Inside your ballpoint pen.
[19:50] ---
    Here it is!
[19:52] ---
    Nishitani-san! Are you
    still going to make excuses?
[19:57] ---
    I thought it was
    a great hiding place, too...
[20:00] ---
    I lose, Mori-san.
    You truly are a great detective.
[20:04] ---
    I got the contacts when I went
    to Europe last month for training.
[20:10] ---
    I paid someone at a
    manufacturer to make them.
[20:13] ---
    I figured Japanese
    contacts could've been traced.
[20:16] ---
    And your motive?
[20:17] ---
    Was it because she was cutting
    off your financial support?
[20:22] ---
    There's that, but I felt bad that
    Yuko-san's recipes were being stolen.
[20:29] ---
    So I wanted to enact my plan the
    night before her best-seller party.
[20:37] ---
    Yuko-san. You might not have
    realized it, but I've always...
[20:43] ---
    I knew how you felt.
[20:47] ---
    But I never wanted you to do this.
[20:52] ---
    My goal was to improve myself
[20:55] ---
    and create perfect recipes
    that she couldn't help with...
[21:03] ---
    Nishitani-san. Your actions
    weren't based on love.
[21:09] ---
    They were nothing but criminal
    actions resulting from selfishness!
[23:02] ---
    A different cooking classroom?
[23:05] ---
    Yeah!
[23:06] ---
    After what happened to
    Uemori-sensei,
[23:09] ---
    Sonoko decided to go to
    a different cooking classroom.
[23:11] ---
    She asked if I wanted to go, too!
[23:14] ---
    French cooking again?
[23:16] ---
    Yeah, that's right!
[23:17] ---
    So, can I enroll, Dad? It costs
    the same as Uemori-sensei's place!
[23:24] ---
    The same? How much is that?
[23:26] ---
    10,000 yen for one class a month.
[23:28] ---
    10,000 yen for one class?!
[23:37] ---
    These sardines are great!
    Japanese people love Japanese food!
[23:42] ---
    I guess you should forget
    about the cooking classroom...
[23:46] ---
    It seems so.
[23:48] ---
    Yes, yes!
[23:51] ---
    A bone!
[23:54] ---
    I guess I won't be eating any
    of Ran's French cooking for awhile.
[24:02] ---
    The anatomy model?
[24:04] ---
    I saw it running super-fast
    through the hallway four nights ago!
[24:11] ---
    Look! That white fog on the glass!
[24:14] ---
    It's proof that someone was pressed
    against the window, looking out!
[24:22] ---
