***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.

*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.

**[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.
