[00:00] ---
    Encounters are mysterious!
    But the world is even more so!
[00:04] ---
    I'm so glad I'm with you!
[00:05] ---
    Today's case has the scent of honey!
[00:08] ---
    There's a stinger behind the sweetness!
[00:09] ---
    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] ---
    "The Honey Cocktail Murder Case."
[02:04] ---
    That hurts...
[02:05] ---
    Dad, isn't President Yamazaki
    the head of Yamazaki Development,
[02:09] ---
    the company you did a bodyguard
    job for during that blackmail case?
[02:13] ---
    What were you invited to today?
[02:16] ---
    She says she has a favor to ask
    of the nationally famous Mori Kogoro!
[02:42] ---
    Welcome! Mori-sama, yes?
[02:42] ---
    Aihara Shingo (53) Caretaker
[02:45] ---
    The president is expecting you!
[02:47] ---
    Please come in!
[02:53] ---
    Mori-sama is here.
[02:56] ---
    Right this way!
[02:57] ---
    Hello!
[02:59] ---
    Welcome, Mori-san.
[03:00] ---
    Yamazaki Hiromi (50)
[03:01] ---
    I'm sorry to call you all the way
[03:02] ---
    into the mountains like this.
[03:04] ---
    Oh, I see you're as beautiful as ever!
[03:08] ---
    Oh, you're a flatterer.
[03:10] ---
    Let me introduce you. This is the
    Mayor of Iwami, Hachimaki-sama.
[03:16] ---
    I'm Hachimaki Hachibe.
[03:16] ---
    Hachimaki Hachibe (62) Mayor of Iwami City
[03:18] ---
    It's an honor to meet the distinguished
    Mori Kogoro-san like this!
[03:24] ---
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[03:27] ---
    Nakamura Eri (32) Pres. Yamazaki's Secretary
[03:27] ---
    I'm Nakamura, her secretary. It's nice to meet you.
[03:31] ---
    The pleasure's all mine.
[03:33] ---
    I'm Aihara, the caretaker here.
    If you need anything, just let me know.
[03:40] ---
    Nice to meet you.
[03:42] ---
    Now if you'll excuse me.
[03:51] ---
    What's this model of?
[03:53] ---
    You know not to touch,
    Conan-kun!
[03:55] ---
    It's all right.
[03:57] ---
    Mori-san, this is the
    Iwami Spa Resort we're planning.
[04:02] ---
    Aside from the hot springs,
    it'll have a golf range, a tennis club,
[04:05] ---
    an arcade, and many other facilities!
[04:09] ---
    Our city's population is dwindling,
    so I've teamed up with
[04:16] ---
    President Yamazaki to build a
    spa resort to give it a shot in the arm!
[04:21] ---
    Tomorrow is the ground-breaking ceremony!
[04:24] ---
    And we'd like you to
    play a part in the advertising,
[04:28] ---
    by appearing in magazines and
    television commercials as a model.
[04:33] ---
    Model in your commercials?!
[04:37] ---
    Like this, perhaps?
[04:40] ---
    You're getting too excited...
[04:42] ---
    Let's set aside the business talk for now.
[04:46] ---
    Aihara... prepare the early celebration.
[04:49] ---
    Yes, I'll bring it right now!
[05:03] ---
    An afternoon with a rare feast
    and sake... There's nothing better!
[05:08] ---
    Wild boar stew and fresh Iwami vegetables!
[05:11] ---
    They all share the
    simple flavors of this region!
[05:14] ---
    Yes, local cuisine will be
    one of the resort's attractions!
[05:21] ---
    It's coming from your upstairs office.
[05:24] ---
    Pardon me a moment.
[05:30] ---
    Oh, yes! Mayor! Why don't
    you let Mori-san try the specialties?
[05:34] ---
    Oh, that? Leave it to me!
[05:43] ---
    Hey! Aihara-kun!
    Bring you-know-what out!
[05:48] ---
    What's he doing?
[05:55] ---
    What are "the specialties"?
[05:59] ---
    You'll just have to wait and see!
[06:06] ---
    Aihara-kun!
[06:08] ---
    Oh, you're on the phone?
[06:10] ---
    Uhh, please send over
    one case of beer and juice!
[06:17] ---
    I'm taking you-know-what.
[06:19] ---
    Oh, okay!
[06:27] ---
    Now these are the pride of our town!
[06:33] ---
    W-What are they?
[06:35] ---
    Newt and wasp sake!
    They're incredibly revitalizing!
[06:42] ---
    Well, drink up!
[06:44] ---
    O-Okay...
[06:49] ---
    I think I've had too much to drink.
    I need some fresh air.
[06:56] ---
    Are you all right?
[06:58] ---
    Y-Yes, I think so.
[07:03] ---
    It was such nice weather earlier, too...
[07:06] ---
    Mountain weather does change quickly.
[07:10] ---
    Like they say, a woman's
    heart is as fickle as autumn weather.
[07:22] ---
    Th-That was President Yamazaki!
[07:25] ---
    Call the police and a doctor!
[07:27] ---
    Right!
[07:40] ---
    A balloon...
[07:54] ---
    An insecticide spray?
[07:59] ---
    It's too late.
[08:15] ---
    Madam!
[08:18] ---
    This is horrible!
[08:21] ---
    Umm, are you the famous
    detective, Mori Kogoro-san?
[08:24] ---
    Yes.
[08:25] ---
    I'm Suzuki, a resident police officer.
[08:28] ---
    This is Dr. Sakurai,
    who runs a clinic in town.
[08:33] ---
    Thanks for coming.
[08:35] ---
    Well, I leave the rest to you.
    I'm going to have a look at her room.
[08:43] ---
    This door locks automatically, you know.
[08:46] ---
    I know that!
[08:48] ---
    Mori-san! I have a spare key!
[09:00] ---
    It smells like insecticide!
[09:06] ---
    It appears it was
    locked from the inside.
[09:17] ---
    It appears she broke the
    window to get onto the veranda,
[09:20] ---
    and then she fell over when
    the rail she was leaning on broke.
[09:24] ---
    But why?
[09:27] ---
    Mori-san.
[09:29] ---
    Dr. Sakurai says she died
    of head injuries when she fell.
[09:36] ---
    This office has an automatic lock,
[09:39] ---
    and all upstairs windows
    were locked from the inside.
[09:44] ---
    It'd be impossible to sneak
    past us on the first floor to go upstairs.
[09:50] ---
    And sneaking in via the
    chimney would also be impossible.
[09:54] ---
    So it was a completely locked room...
[10:03] ---
    This is--!
[10:06] ---
    Say, officer! This is a bee, right?
[10:09] ---
    That's a yellowjacket wasp.
[10:13] ---
    Come to think of it, Dr. Sakurai
    did find sting marks on her head.
[10:18] ---
    Sting marks?
[10:21] ---
    Are wasps common in this area?
[10:24] ---
    Yes.
[10:25] ---
    Come to think of it, wasn't she
    afraid of wasps, Nakamura-san?
[10:30] ---
    Yes.
[10:32] ---
    She's from here, and she'd had
    a traumatic childhood experience.
[10:39] ---
    Some wasps stung her in the sixth grade,
[10:42] ---
    and Aihara-san saved
    her on the verge of death.
[10:46] ---
    She said she hired him
    to take care of the mansion
[10:49] ---
    because she owed him her life...
[10:54] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[10:56] ---
    I always had bug spray on hand
    to keep wasps from coming inside.
[11:03] ---
    There've been many wasp-related
    incidents so far this year.
[11:09] ---
    I've figured out the killer!
[11:12] ---
    It was the wasps that killed her,
    no question about it!
[11:17] ---
    Listen... President Yamazaki
    must've been attacked
[11:21] ---
    by wasps that entered
    through that fireplace.
[11:27] ---
    She tried using the nearby bug spray,
[11:30] ---
    but in her panic, she went
    through the window and onto the veranda.
[11:34] ---
    Then, as luck would have it,
    the handrail broke and she fell over.
[11:39] ---
    In other words, this was an accident.
[11:44] ---
    But why did she escape
    through the window and not the door?
[11:50] ---
    When people panic, they lose
    the ability to make good judgments.
[12:02] ---
    What's this sticky stuff?!
[12:07] ---
    This is--!
[12:24] ---
    This might not have been an accident!
[12:28] ---
    It's possible it was a murder
    plotted by one of these people!
[12:53] ---
    Protective clothing for handling wasps!
[13:01] ---
    These two bottles were used recently.
[13:05] ---
    Ether and sulfuric acid?!
[13:14] ---
    Helium? Why is this here?
[13:18] ---
    Wait a minute!
[13:29] ---
    As I recall, it went downstream!
[13:55] ---
    Fishing line and a ripped plastic bag!
[13:58] ---
    And this black dirt!
[14:09] ---
    The rain cap that should
    be on this chimney is gone.
[14:18] ---
    Some of the soot inside it
    has been rubbed off.
[14:30] ---
    Scotch tape?!
[14:36] ---
    A hole in the floor?
[14:40] ---
    Ah! Now I see how the trick worked!
    That person is the killer!
[14:45] ---
    Conan-kun! Where are you?
[14:46] ---
    Where'd that runt disappear to?!
[14:52] ---
    What is it?
[14:54] ---
    You always worry us
    when you suddenly disappear!
[14:57] ---
    Quit scampering around! Come with us!
[15:01] ---
    Hold on. Have a nap
    and leave the rest to me, old guy.
[15:09] ---
    What the--?
[15:16] ---
    Dad! What was that sound?!
[15:20] ---
    What was that?!
[15:21] ---
    What happened?!
[15:23] ---
    I've figured it out, everyone.
[15:26] ---
    This was a murder.
[15:29] ---
    It wasn't an accident?!
[15:31] ---
    Why do you say that now?
[15:33] ---
    To catch the killer off guard.
    I wanted time to gather proof, you see.
[15:39] ---
    The person responsible
    murdered President Yamazaki
[15:42] ---
    and made it look like an accident.
[15:44] ---
    What proof do you have to--?
[15:46] ---
    Have a look at the inside doorknob.
[15:53] ---
    What about it?
    Nothing seems out of the ordinary...
[15:57] ---
    Underneath the connecting part.
[16:06] ---
    This is--!
[16:07] ---
    Yes... honey.
[16:09] ---
    If wasps attacked you inside,
    you would normally run out the door.
[16:15] ---
    But there were a bunch of
    wasps on the honey-covered doorknob,
[16:20] ---
    so President Yamazaki ran in
    the opposite direction, to the window.
[16:26] ---
    The rail on the veranda was quite corroded.
[16:30] ---
    It had been corroded in
    advance using sulfuric acid.
[16:34] ---
    But what about the wasps?
[16:36] ---
    Yes... the wasps were planned too.
[16:41] ---
    Have a look at the ceiling behind you.
[16:47] ---
    Is that the balloon that--?
[16:49] ---
    Yes.
[16:50] ---
    It's the balloon you and Conan
    saw on your way down to the river.
[16:55] ---
    It got stuck to a
    tree branch downstream.
[16:59] ---
    Ran, check the plastic bag.
[17:02] ---
    Okay.
[17:07] ---
    A wasp!
[17:09] ---
    The killer put wasps into
    the bag attached to the balloon
[17:14] ---
    and placed it in the chimney.
[17:17] ---
    They were probably gathered
    after spraying them with ether.
[17:22] ---
    Aihara-san.
[17:24] ---
    I found a beekeeper outfit
    that smelled of ether in the shed.
[17:29] ---
    Most everyone in this area has one.
[17:33] ---
    Then what are the
    helium tanks in the shed for?
[17:37] ---
    We made balloons for
    kids at the summer festival.
[17:41] ---
    They're what's left over.
[17:42] ---
    I wonder. There were three tanks.
[17:46] ---
    Are you sure you didn't do
    a lot of test flights of a balloon
[17:49] ---
    with a bag attached instead?
[17:54] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?
    What are you trying to say?!
[17:57] ---
    Only the caretaker here
    could have set all this up!
[18:02] ---
    Yes! You're the killer,
    Aihara-san!
[18:08] ---
    Wh-What are you talking about?!
[18:09] ---
    I was in the living room when she fell!
[18:13] ---
    I was with all of you!
    How could I have killed her?!
[18:17] ---
    First, to temporarily keep
    the balloon inside the chimney,
[18:22] ---
    you tied fishing line to it,
    led it to the downstairs kitchen
[18:26] ---
    through a small hole in the floor
    by the fireplace, and tied it to a nail.
[18:30] ---
    You also stuck fishing line
    to a piece of tape on the bag
[18:34] ---
    and led it to the kitchen as well.
[18:36] ---
    Everything was then ready to go.
[18:39] ---
    The phone rang, and President
    Yamazaki went to the upstairs office.
[18:46] ---
    At the same time, you were on the phone.
[18:49] ---
    Yes... you had called her upstairs
    office to get her into the room.
[18:56] ---
    After confirming that
    she had picked up the receiver,
[18:59] ---
    you pulled a thread leading into the kitchen.
[19:02] ---
    The tape covering a pre-made
    rip in the bag came off
[19:07] ---
    and sent the wasps flying out.
[19:11] ---
    The balloon blocked the chimney's top,
    so they flew into the room.
[19:17] ---
    The agitated wasps then
    attacked President Yamazaki.
[19:23] ---
    While spraying the insecticide,
    she headed for the door.
[19:27] ---
    But she was unable to open it.
    Because it was crawling with wasps.
[19:34] ---
    With no other choice, she ran
    around the room, broke the window,
[19:38] ---
    and leapt onto the veranda.
[19:40] ---
    She leaned against the rail
    and aimed the spray at the wasps,
[19:43] ---
    but the rail broke and she fell over.
[19:48] ---
    After we rushed outside,
    you quickly returned to the kitchen
[19:51] ---
    and undid the other thread.
[19:53] ---
    And so the balloon
    went flying out of the chimney.
[19:58] ---
    That's what Ran
    and Conan happened to see.
[20:01] ---
    But something didn't go as planned.
[20:04] ---
    The balloon was supposed to
    fly far off into the distance,
[20:09] ---
    but the light rain and wind
    unfortunately got it stuck in a tree.
[20:19] ---
    I found the tape!
[20:21] ---
    And there is a hole in the floor!
[20:23] ---
    That doesn't prove anything!
[20:26] ---
    Aihara-san. Could you
    show us the towel on your hip?
[20:30] ---
    Towel?! Wh-What about it?!
[20:33] ---
    The doorknob must've been
    entirely covered in honey.
[20:38] ---
    Are you sure you didn't
    wipe it away with your towel?
[20:47] ---
    There is honey on it!
[20:49] ---
    And one more thing.
[20:52] ---
    Please take out what's
    in your right pants pocket.
[20:59] ---
    What's the matter? Show it to us.
[21:04] ---
    That's the very same thread
    that undid the tape on the plastic bag.
[21:10] ---
    The mayor and Conan
    had barged in just then,
[21:14] ---
    so you hastily stuffed it into your pocket.
[21:17] ---
    It appears you didn't have
    time to dispose of the evidence.
[21:21] ---
    That, or you lowered your guard
    when it was deemed an accident.
[21:26] ---
    Making me the caretaker because
    I saved her life was nice and all,
[21:31] ---
    but I wound up like a worker
    bee slaving away for the queen bee.
[21:36] ---
    But she said she'd make
    me manager of the spa resort,
[21:40] ---
    so I tried so hard to endure it!
[21:42] ---
    But it was a lie. A big, fat lie.
    I couldn't stand it anymore.
[21:48] ---
    I wanted to ruin tomorrow's
    ground-breaking ceremony.
[21:51] ---
    So I had to do it today.
[23:31] ---
    Way to go, Dad! You solved the case!
    You're a genius, as always!
[23:38] ---
    Don't be silly! That was a piece of cake!
[23:41] ---
    Speaking of which, I'm hungry!
    Plus we didn't go to the hot springs!
[23:45] ---
    Okay! Let's hit the
    hot springs and get manlier!
[23:50] ---
    Sleeping Kogoro gets to
    show off his mind and body!
[23:56] ---
    The only thing you
    can show off is how to sleep...
[24:03] ---
    Whoa! What is this?!
[24:04] ---
    The room is filled with idol posters!
[24:08] ---
    There are two of everything,
    even photo books and CDs!
[24:11] ---
    And they have their names on them.
[24:18] ---
    This wasn't a suicide! It was a murder!
[24:22] ---
    But this was a sealed room!
    How did the killer escape?!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:28] ---
    "The Sealed Bathroom Murder Case (Part 1)."
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's hint:
[24:49] ---
    Adhesive tape.
[24:51] ---
    Next episode takes place at the home of two beautiful sisters.
[24:54] ---
    Specifically, their bathroom. No peeping, Conan-kun.
[24:56] ---
