[00:02] Radio
    Good morning, listeners.
[00:04] Radio
    Moriyama Shu's Morning Frolic*, or* MoFro
    for short, has begun again today.

[00:10] Radio
    It's bright and early at 6AM,
    but let's get energized.
[00:15] Radio
    We'll begin with this segment,
    "Morning Advice With the Boss."
[00:19] Radio
    Our first letter comes from
    radio name Mitarashi Dango-san.
[00:23] Radio
    "Good morning, Boss." Good morning.
[00:26] Radio
    "Last summer, I found a cicada flipped
    onto its back lying on the ground.
[00:31] Radio
    I tried to rescue it by letting it grab onto
    my finger and transferring it to a tree,
[00:36] Radio
    but I felt a sharp sting in my finger.
[00:41] Radio
    The cicada had stabbed my finger with
    the sharp tube-like appendage in its mouth.
[00:47] Radio
    I frantically waved my hand to shake it off,
    sending the cicada flying away,
[00:50] Radio
    but I've been terrified ever since.
[00:54] Radio
    What's going to happen to me now that
    I've been bitten by a cicada?"
[00:58] Radio
    I see. I know what the problem is.
[01:06] Radio
    It's like that thing
    from the movie "The Fly."
[01:09] [SONG] Sign
    Song by Kuraki Mai
[01:11] Conan
    Detective skills glitter left and right
    as they unravel tangled threads.
[01:15] Conan
    With an elaborate design
    and a sequence of mysteries,
[01:17] Conan
    it's an intricate mechanism
    designed to kill.
[01:19] Conan
    Always determining the one truth
[01:20] Conan
    with the body of a child
    and the mind of an adult,
[01:22] Conan
    his name is Detective Conan!
SIGN    Rube Goldberg Machine
    (Part One)
[03:06] Conan
    "Rube Goldberg Machine, Part One!"
[03:12] Ran
    Doesn't the air seem to taste better
    in woodland resort areas?
[03:16] Conan
    Yeah, it does.
[03:18] Ran
    Anyway, we solved that
    quicker than I expected.
[03:21] Conan
    The client found signs of
    an intruder at their villa.
[03:25] Conan
    They insisted we find the culprit.
[03:28] Conan
    I wasn't expecting
    the intruder to be a raccoon.
[03:31] Kogoro
    Either way, case closed.
[03:34] Conan
    Huh? I see police cars.
[03:39] Conan
    Looks like something happened.
[03:44] Yamamura
    Hello, Mori-san. It's good to see you again.
[03:47] Ran
    Hello, Detective Yamamura.
[03:49] Yamamura
    I'm not a detective anymore.
    I'm an inspector.
[03:52] Kogoro
    And what are you doing here, Inspector?
[03:55] Yamamura
    I wish I could say I'm investigating a case,
[03:57] Yamamura
    but I think this may have been
    an accident rather than foul play.
[04:01] Yamamura
    Take a look.
[04:02] Yamamura
    The poor man died when he was
    struck by the falling chimney.
[04:07] Yamamura
    It's because he was drinking coffee
    on the deck at the time.
[04:11] Yamamura
    Unlucky, isn't he?
[04:14] Ran
    I feel like I've seen him before.
[04:17] Yamamura
    The victim is Inoue Kohei, 46 years old.
SIGN    Inoue Kohei (46)
    Chairman of Yangnyeom Chicken
    Restaurant "Cheom Cheom"
[04:20] Yamamura
    He's the chairman of Yangnyeom chicken
    restaurant chain "Cheom Cheom,"
[04:24] Yamamura
    which has 36 locations across the country.
[04:27] Kogoro
    Cheom Cheom? That famous chicken restaurant?
[04:30] Conan
    It's deliciously sweet and spicy, right?
[04:32] Ran
    I knew it. That's the Yangnyeom guy
    I've seen on TV from time to time.
[04:36] Yamamura
    It's hard to believe someone as famous as him
    would be involved in an accident like this.
[04:41] Conan
    It might not have been an accident.
[04:43] Yamamura
    What? What do you mean?
[04:45] Conan
    Look at the base of the chimney.
[04:49] Conan
    It's dented.
[04:52] Conan
    This wasn't an accident. It's clearly murder.
[04:55] Yamamura
    What? Really?
[04:58] Yamamura
    I looked into Chairman Inoue's acquaintances
[05:02] Yamamura
    and learned multiple
    people stay at this villa.
[05:06] Yamamura
    First there's Yangnyeom Chicken
    Restaurant Group "Cheom Cheom" president
SIGN    Tanaka Fuma (30)
    "Cheom Cheom" President and CEO
[05:09] Yamamura
    and CEO Tanaka Fuma, 30 years old.
[05:13] Yamamura
    He's the group representative
    responsible for all matters.
[05:17] Yamamura
    Then there's investor Shimada
    Norihiro, 32 years old.
SIGN    Shimada Norihiro (32)
    Investor
[05:20] Yamamura
    He has a wide range of investments, including
    this Yangnyeom chicken restaurant chain.
[05:26] Yamamura
    Kawamoto Arata, 46 years old.
SIGN    Kawamoto Arata (46)
    Investor
[05:28] Yamamura
    He's unemployed—or rather, an investor
    living a comfortable life of leisure.
[05:32] Yamamura
    He's the same as the chairman,
    and they've been friends since school.
[05:36] Yamamura
    Finally, there's the chairman's second
    wife Inoue Nanako, 35 years old.
SIGN    Inoue Nanako (35)
    Inoue Kohei's Wife
[05:42] Yamamura
    They've been married three years.
[05:43] Yamamura
    She's also the one who discovered the body.
[05:45] Yamamura
    She said she heard a loud noise
    and went out to the deck,
[05:48] Yamamura
    where she found her husband
    crushed beneath the chimney.
[05:53] Kogoro
    And they're all staying around here, huh?
[05:56] Yamamura
    Additionally, we've confirmed
    everyone except the wife has an alibi.
[06:02] Ran
    They all have alibis?
[06:03] Ran
    This sounds like it'll be a tough case.
[06:05] Yamamura
    You think so?
[06:07] Yamamura
    It looks simple to me.
[06:10] Conan
    Let's start by investigating
    the crime scene further.
[06:18] Yamamura
    According to forensics, the chimney
    was severed by some kind of bladed object.
[06:40] Conan
    Over there.
[06:43] Ran
    Conan-kun.
[06:44] Both
    What?
[06:48] Conan
    Found it.
[07:04] Conan
    It's set to dispense food at 6AM.
[07:08] Ran
    Conan-kun, what is it?
[07:11] Conan
    Ran-neechan, do you know what
    a Rube Goldberg Machine is?
[07:15] All
    What?
[07:16] Yamamura
    A Rubble Goldmine Machine? What's that?
[07:19] Conan
    Rube Goldberg Machine.
[07:22] Conan
    It's what they call devices proposed
    by cartoonist Rube Goldberg.
[07:26] Conan
    They're machines that perform tasks
[07:28] Conan
    that can normally be done quickly
    with multiple elaborate mechanisms,
[07:31] Conan
    chaining their effects together
    to achieve a certain goal.
[07:36] Conan
    They've appeared in Chaplin
    and Hollywood movies in the past,
[07:40] Conan
    but it's probably most easily explained
    by mentioning a certain children's show.
[07:45] Kogoro
    What does that have to do with this case?
[07:48] Ran
    Are you saying a Rube Goldberg
    Machine was used in this case?
[07:53] Conan
    It probably started with that auto-feeder.
[07:58] Conan
    This is just conjecture, but the
    victim Chairman Inoue probably...
[08:03] Nanako
    Yes. At exactly 6AM every morning,
    Inoue drank coffee on the deck.
[08:11] Ran
    Wow. How'd you know?
[08:14] Kogoro
    You couldn't kill someone
    with such a convoluted device
[08:17] Kogoro
    unless they're in a specific
    location at a specific time.
[08:22] Yamamura
    Which means the culprit
    is someone who knew that.
[08:27] Yamamura
    It's a simple case after all.
[08:29] Kogoro
    Ma'am, do you know who knew about that habit?
[08:33] Nanako
    He spoke about it on a TV
    special several months ago,
[08:37] Nanako
    so quite a few people know about it.
[08:39] Yamamura
    What? Really?
[08:41] Kogoro
    If a large unspecified number of people knew,
    we can't use it to narrow down the culprit.
[08:48] Nanako
    I know who did it.
[08:50] Both
    What?
[08:51] Nanako
    I know it was him.
[08:53] Nanako
    He'd been fighting with Inoue
    all the time recently.
SIGN    Cheom Cheom
SIGN    Yangnyeom Chicken Restaurant Temporarily Closed
SIGN    Cheom Cheom
[08:58] Tanaka
    It wasn't me.
[09:00] Tanaka
    I would never kill the chairman.
[09:05] Conan
    Bedhead?
[09:06] Yamamura
    But the chairman's wife said it was you.
[09:10] Tanaka
    That's a false accusation.
[09:12] Kogoro
    By the way, what was the cause
    for your argument with the chairman?
[09:16] Tanaka
    It was our Yangnyeom chicken sauce.
[09:19] All
    The sauce?
[09:20] Tanaka
    Yangnyeom chicken is fried chicken
    tossed in a sweet and spicy sauce.
[09:26] Tanaka
    In other words, it lives
    and dies by its sauce.
[09:36] Tanaka
    Please have some.
[09:39] Tanaka
    This sauce uses a secret recipe
    developed by our founder and chairman.
[09:44] Tanaka
    Only he knows the exact details.
[09:47] Tanaka
    We were supplying every restaurant
    with sauce made by the chairman.
[09:51] Ran
    It's good.
[09:53] Yamamura
    I see. It's the perfect
    balance of sweet and spicy.
[09:58] Tanaka
    I begged him multiple times for the recipe
    in case anything happened to him,
[10:04] Tanaka
    but he stubbornly refused.
[10:07] Tanaka
    And because of that,
    now we're in this situation.
[10:10] Tanaka
    We'll run out of sauce in a few weeks.
[10:15] Tanaka
    I... Cheom Cheom is finished.
[10:23] Yamamura
    President Tanaka and the chairman seem
    to have been arguing for some time.
[10:27] Conan
    The president demanded the chairman
    reveal his secret recipe
[10:30] Conan
    and even brought up the issue
    at a shareholder meeting.
[10:33] Conan
    It says in this article that he
    demanded the chairman step down
[10:38] Conan
    if he refused to share the recipe.
[10:39] Ran
    You're right. But it also says the chairman
    didn't give in to any threats.
[10:47] Kawamoto
    I own stock in Cheom Cheom, too.
[10:51] Kawamoto
    But that's because Inoue and
    I knew each other in school.
[10:56] Kawamoto
    We wouldn't get into an argument over that.
[10:59] Yamamura
    So you didn't have any problems
    with Chairman Inoue?
[11:03] Kawamoto
    Of course not.
[11:04] Kogoro
    Do you have any idea who might've done it?
[11:08] Kawamoto
    No.
[11:09] Kawamoto
    But Inoue valued contracts above all else.
[11:12] Kawamoto
    I know Nanako-chan—his wife as well,
[11:16] Kawamoto
    and I imagine they must have all sorts
    of prenup and inheritance contracts.
[11:22] Yamamura
    Contracts, huh?
[11:24] Kogoro
    Why do you bring that up?
[11:26] Kawamoto
    They say to follow the money
    when investigating cases, right?
[11:30] Yamamura
    Are you a detective?
[11:31] Kawamoto
    No, just an unemployed middle-aged man.
[11:34] Kawamoto
    Oh, right.
[11:35] Kawamoto
    Speaking of following the money, I can
    introduce you to someone you should talk to.
SIGN    Ginza CLUB
[11:42] Yamamura
    Club Rokumaikai Proprietress Manami?
[11:45] Kawamoto
    She was the chairman's lady friend.
[11:49] Kogoro
    What do you mean?
[11:50] Kawamoto
    Perhaps I should call her his mistress.
[11:52] Kawamoto
    She's apparently in this
    resort area right now.
[11:57] Manami
    Do you have business with me?
[12:00] Yamamura
    You're the chairman's mistress
    Teshima Manami-san?
[12:03] Manami
    I don't like being called that.
[12:05] Yamamura
    I'm sorry, but I'm not sure
    what else to call you.
[12:08] Manami
    It's true that Chairman Inoue
    and I were friends.
SIGN    Teshima Manami (28)
    Inoue Kohei's Mistress
[12:13] Manami
    He even helped me open my club.
[12:16] Manami
    But I'm an entrepreneur.
[12:19] Yamamura
    I see. Excuse me.
[12:21] Kogoro
    Do you know anything about Chairman Inoue?
[12:25] Kogoro
    Did anyone resent him, or did he
    get involved in trouble recently?
[12:29] Manami
    The investor Shimada Norihiro
    comes to mind first,
[12:33] Manami
    when I think of people
    he had disagreements with.
[12:35] Manami
    They were famous for how poorly
    they'd been getting along recently.
[12:39] Kogoro
    Famous how?
[12:40] Manami
    Shimada declared he'd kill the chairman.
[12:44] Manami
    That's all I have to say.
[12:46] Yamamura
    He declared his intent to murder him?
[12:47] Yamamura
    I can't ignore that.
[12:49] Manami
    You'll have to ask him for the details.
[12:52] Manami
    I don't like to speak ill of others,
[12:56] Manami
    even if he's a murderer.
SIGN    Shimada Norihiro Investment Fund "Taigen" Representative
[13:01] Police
    Shimada Norihiro represents
    the investment fund "Taigen."
[13:05] Police
    He has a variety of investments including
    hotels, railways, and ice cream chains.
[13:11] Police
    He and Chairman Inoue go way back,
    but like Teshima-san said,
[13:16] Police
    several months ago they got into an
    argument over management policy.
[13:19] Police
    Since then, they'd been on poor terms.
[13:22] Police
    Additionally, they were drinking
    at Teshima-san's club
[13:24] Police
    when they had their massive argument.
[13:26] Kogoro
    So that's why she knew so much about it.
[13:30] Police
    We looked into it, and Shimada-san
    seems to be a rather pushy man.
[13:34] Kogoro
    So their fight escalated
    into murder? Yeah, right.
[13:39] Police
    Actually, you might be surprised.
[13:41] All
    What?
[14:00] Police
    They met once after their first argument.
[14:03] Police
    They got into another argument
    over who should apologize first.
[14:08] Police
    During the argument, Shimada-san...
[14:10] (Flashback) Shimada
    I'll kill you!
[14:12] Police
    ...shouted that at the victim.
[14:14] Kogoro
    Even if he misspoke, that's unsettling.
[14:18] Conan
    Hey, look at this.
[14:20] Yamamura
    What is that?
[14:21] Conan
    I looked up Shimada-san online.
[14:25] Conan
    It's the Haido University
    Rube Goldberg Machine Club.
[14:29] Conan
    These photos are from ten years ago.
[14:31] Ran
    Who's this guy?
[14:33] Conan
    It says the club president that year
    was Shimada Norihiro-san.
[14:38] Ran
    They took second place at a
    national university-level contest.
[14:41] Kogoro
    So Shimada-san is an expert
    on Rube Goldberg Machines.
[14:46] Yamamura
    We'll need to speak with him.
[14:53] Manami
    What are you doing here, kid?
[14:56] Conan
    Exercising my detective skills.
[14:58] Manami
    My, how dependable.
[15:00] Manami
    Are you a detective?
[15:02] Conan
    I suppose.
[15:03] Manami
    I see. If you solve the case,
    come see me at my club.
[15:08] Manami
    I'll serve you a drink on the house.
[15:10] Conan
    You can't do that.
[15:11] Manami
    What?
[15:12] Conan
    I'm still a child.
[15:15] Manami
    Oh, that's right.
[15:17] Manami
    In that case, I'll treat you to a
    meal at a steakhouse in Ginza.
[15:21] Manami
    That should be fine, right?
[15:23] Conan
    I'll consider it.
[15:25] Manami
    Oh, my.
[15:26] Conan
    Teshima-san, do you know what
    Rube Goldberg Machines are?
[15:32] Manami
    Yes, of course.
[15:34] Conan
    I see.
[15:35] Manami
    Perhaps this series of cases itself
    is like a Rube Goldberg Machine.
[15:42] Manami
    Like falling dominoes and rolling balls,
[15:45] Manami
    hatred and sadness chain together like
    overlapping elements, leading to deaths.
[15:53] Manami
    Please, little detective.
[15:55] Manami
    Stop this Rube Goldberg Machine
    before things get worse.
[16:02] Kawamoto
    Saying that won't erase your guilt.
[16:05] Manami
    Kawamoto.
[16:07] Kawamoto
    What's a Ginza madam
    doing winning over a child?
[16:12] Manami
    I'm not trying to win anyone over.
[16:15] Manami
    More importantly, aren't you the culprit?
[16:18] Kawamoto
    Oh, please.
[16:20] Manami
    You have motive, don't you?
[16:22] Manami
    After all, you nearly married Nanako-san.
[16:28] Kawamoto
    That's ancient history.
    Don't go digging up the past.
[16:32] Kawamoto
    Speaking of motives, avenging a murdered
    lover sounds like a powerful motive to me.
[16:39] Manami
    How dare you mention that.
[16:41] Manami
    I believe it was around here
    that you planned to hold your—
[16:45] Kawamoto
    You and Shimada-san go way back, don't you?
[16:52] Kawamoto
    A word of warning.
[16:54] Kawamoto
    Nanako has known about you for a while.
[16:59] Kawamoto
    You might be the next target.
[17:03] Manami
    Are you planning to sell out Nanako-san next?
[17:05] Kawamoto
    Watch your back.
[17:09] Manami
    You, too.
[17:12] Ran
    Conan-kun.
[17:15] Conan
    Ran-neechan, what is it?
[17:18] Ran
    They found Shimada-san.
[17:22] Yamamura
    Shimada-san is staying at the Koshino Resort.
[17:25] Yamamura
    Let's hurry there.
[17:29] Man
    Shimada-sama? Let's see. He's in cabin 306.
[17:32] Man
    Shimada-sama is currently out.
[17:35] Yamamura
    We're a little too late.
[17:38] Kogoro
    He must've fled.
SIGN    Koshino Resort Hotel
SIGN    Reception
[17:40] Conan
    Cabin 306...
[18:07] Conan
    These are plans for a Rube Goldberg Machine.
[18:10] Conan
    Not only that, but this is the machine
    used to attack Chairman Inoue.
[18:14] Conan
    What's this doing here?
[18:16] Conan
    This was a remote murder
    made to look like an accident.
[18:20] Conan
    Can we really assume the culprit used
    the machine just to fabricate an alibi?
[18:25] Conan
    Aside from his wife, all the
    suspects have solid alibis.
SIGN    Shimada
SIGN    Chairman Inoue
SIGN    President Tanaka
SIGN    Employee
SIGN    Ex-Fiance
SIGN    Kawamoto
SIGN    Teshima
SIGN    College
    Friends
SIGN    Fighting
SIGN    Lovers
SIGN    Nanako
SIGN    Married
[18:29] Conan
    They all seem to have motives, too.
[18:34] Conan
    Among them, Shimada in particular said
    something that sounded like a murder threat
[18:40] Conan
    and was even the president of the
    Rube Goldberg Machine Club in college.
[18:45] Conan
    And currently, the prime suspect
    has gone missing,
[18:48] Conan
    leaving plans for a Rube
    Goldberg Machine behind.
[18:55] Yamamura
    I didn't expect to find
    such critical information.
[19:00] Kogoro
    It's practically settled, then.
[19:03] Yamamura
    This truly was a simple case.
[19:09] Yamamura
    Wait.
[19:12] Yamamura
    Look at this.
[19:14] Yamamura
    They're plans for a Rude Girlfriend Machine.
[19:17] Ran
    It's "Rube Goldberg Machine."
[19:20] Kogoro
    That looks like the machine used in the case.
[19:24] Conan
    Hey, Inspector Yamamura.
[19:26] Yamamura
    Huh? Conan-kun?
[19:28] Ran
    Where have you been?
[19:30] Conan
    I was in the bathroom.
[19:32] Conan
    More importantly, what important
    information did you find?
[19:35] Ran
    Shimada-san apparently shared his plans
    to murder someone at a place he frequented
[19:41] Ran
    while drawing plans for
    a Rube Goldberg Machine.
[19:44] Conan
    Is that true?
[19:45] Ran
    Yeah. Apparently he was
    ostentatiously showing it off.
[19:49] Conan
    I see.
[19:51] Kogoro
    All the evidence points
    to Shimada-san as the culprit.
[19:55] Yamamura
    You're right. We should find
    him as quickly as possible.
[19:59] Yamamura
    Huh? Excuse me a moment.
[20:03] Yamamura
    Hello?
[20:05] Yamamura
    What?!
[20:07] Ran
    Did something happen?
[20:09] Yamamura
    Someone reported seeing Shimada-san.
[20:12] Yamamura
    Let's hurry.
[20:36] Woman
    Yes?
[20:37] Voice
    I know your secret.
[20:39] Voice
    If you don't want it to be exposed,
    then at exactly 3:15PM...
[20:43] Yamamura
    According to the report,
    someone saw Shimada-san
[20:46] Yamamura
    buying mitarashi dango at an outlet mall.
[20:50] Kogoro
    A man on the run stopped to buy dango?
[20:52] Kogoro
    In a crowded place, no less?
[20:55] Ran
    Maybe he really was just out.
[20:58] Conan
    In any case, let's find him.
[21:00] Conan
    We'll learn the truth once we talk to him.
[21:05] Yamamura
    Hello?
[21:06] Yamamura
    What?!
[21:08] Yamamura
    Stop the car.
[21:11] Yamamura
    Yes. Yes.
[21:14] Yamamura
    There's been a new eyewitness report.
[21:16] Culprit
    Yes. I saw him eating tenzaru soba
    at a shop right next to the station.
[21:21] Culprit
    If you go there now,
    you might get there in time.
[21:24] Culprit
    Goodbye.
[21:34] Yamamura
    Shimada-san seems to have been buying
    handmade sausages at the shopping center.
[21:38] Kogoro
    What's going on?
[21:40] Kogoro
    Is he wandering around and stopping for food?
[21:41] Yamamura
    In any case, let's go check it out.
[21:50] Yamamura
    He was seen at a ranch this time.
[21:53] Yamamura
    What do you suppose is going on?
[21:56] Kogoro
    What's actually true?
[21:58] Ran
    I wonder what's happening.
[22:01] Yamamura
    Hello?
[22:02] Yamamura
    What? Is that true?
[22:05] Yamamura
    Yes. Yes. I understand.
[22:09] Yamamura
    A body's been found.
[22:16] Yamamura
    Judging by his clothes and appearance,
    it's likely this is Shimada Norihiro-san.
[22:24] [SONG] Sign
    Song by Kuraki Mai
[23:44] Yamamura
    Which means Shimada-san strangled himself
    before leaping from the bridge.

    That's impossible.
[23:55] Kogoro
    These cases are connected
    like a Rube Goldberg Machines.
[24:01] Conan
    Something else that's both connected and not.
[24:06] Conan
    I've figured out who did it.
[24:08] Conan
    The next episode of Conan is
    "Rube Goldberg Machine, Part Two!"

[24:32] Conan

[24:34] Kogoro
    "Rube Goldberg Machine" is hard to say.
