**[00:00] ---**
My name's Conan Edogawa!
**[00:02] ---**
High school student Shinichi was forced
to take a drug that shrunk him.
**[00:05] ---**
Although smaller, my mind remains
that of a sharp detective!
**[00:08] ---**
Today's case is a code! A deep
meaning behind regular numbers!
**[00:11] ---**
I'll have to change
my way of looking at things!
**[00:13] ---**
There's always only one truth!
**[00:15] ---**
*The first end of the century in 100 years*
**[00:21] ---**
*When told to cry, I laughed instead*
**[00:34] ---**
*The first end of the century
in a long, long time*
**[00:40] ---**
*We're leaping into a wide open world*
**[00:46] ---**
*The things I tried to
understand as a child*
**[00:52] ---**
*remain a mystery even as an adult*
**[00:58] ---**
*I'm neither a hotshot
nor especially great*
**[01:04] ---**
*All I understand is
the pounding of my heart*
**[01:11] ---**
*It's neither an answer nor the truth*
**[01:17] ---**
*All I have faith in is
the pounding of my heart*
**[01:23] ---**
*That and nothing else*
**[01:46] ---**
The Mysterious Sniper Message Case.
**[02:04] ---**
There's some! Now!
**[02:07] ---**
Got 'em!
**[02:08] ---**
They got away again...
**[02:13] ---**
We sure caught a lot!
**[02:15] ---**
Yeah...
**[02:16] ---**
Genta-kun was right--
this is a good spot for fishing!
**[02:20] ---**
I'm hungry. What time is it?
**[02:23] ---**
It's exactly 1:00.
What do you say we have lunch?
**[02:26] ---**
Hey, what's that?
**[02:37] ---**
Looks like a remote-controlled boat.
**[02:39] ---**
Where's it being controlled from?
**[02:54] ---**
A rifle!
**[02:58] ---**
Up there! There are people
on the building across the river!
**[03:09] ---**
Come on, Conan! Let me see!
**[03:13] ---**
There's nobody up there...
**[03:18] ---**
Did this guy really
shoot it with a rifle?!
**[03:31] ---**
Dang! He shot the balloon
from way up here?!
**[03:34] ---**
He's really good if he did!
**[03:41] ---**
Maybe he was doing target practice?
**[03:44] ---**
That, or he was being tested...
**[03:46] ---**
Tested?
**[03:47] ---**
Against his own will.
**[03:49] ---**
Against his own will?!
**[03:50] ---**
Two other guys were
pointing handguns at him!
**[03:54] ---**
You serious?!
**[04:01] ---**
What are you doing?
**[04:02] ---**
Looking for any sort of evidence...
**[04:20] ---**
What's with those numbers?
**[04:23] ---**
I'm guessing it's a message
the rifle shooter left for me.
**[04:28] ---**
Message?
**[04:30] ---**
Yes. He seemed to notice me
when I saw him through the binoculars.
**[04:37] ---**
But what in the world
could these numbers mean?
**[04:45] ---**
At any rate, we need to tell
Inspector Megure about this!
**[05:01] ---**
Are you certain that
he hit it from here?
**[05:04] ---**
Yeah. I didn't see him shoot,
but I saw him holding the rifle.
**[05:09] ---**
And then you found
that calculator left behind?
**[05:11] ---**
Say, Inspector.
**[05:13] ---**
Do you think that maybe he
was kidnapped and then brought here?
**[05:18] ---**
It did look like he was forced
to shoot against his own will...
**[05:22] ---**
We haven't received any such reports...
**[05:26] ---**
And I don't see any signs
of them being here, either...
**[05:28] ---**
What? Then look harder!
Like across the river, or in it!
**[05:34] ---**
The bullet has to be there somewhere!
**[05:35] ---**
Yeah! That radio-controlled
boat might be--
**[05:39] ---**
Unfortunately, this is Golden Week.
**[05:42] ---**
Most of our investigators
are out on holiday leave!
**[05:45] ---**
But I'll tell you what. I'll at least
check out that calculator. How's that?
**[05:54] ---**
Well, I'll see you later.
Give Mori-kun my regards!
**[06:00] ---**
He doesn't believe us one bit!
**[06:15] ---**
"Romantic dream trip aboard
the Heisei Expressway"?!
**[06:18] ---**
All they did was steal an old photo!
**[06:23] ---**
It's hopeless! I can't figure this out!
**[06:25] ---**
Of course you can't.
There is no message.
**[06:28] ---**
Someone just forgot
their calculator, that's all.
**[06:31] ---**
I can't believe you called
Inspector Megure out there
**[06:34] ---**
during Golden Week!
**[06:36] ---**
Dad!
**[06:37] ---**
Say, if that person really was
forced to do target practice
**[06:41] ---**
and then left you a message,
**[06:44] ---**
all I can think of is...
**[06:46] ---**
The time or place where
the real shooting will take place,
**[06:48] ---**
or the victim's name...
**[06:50] ---**
Or a hint about where he's being held.
**[06:54] ---**
People play code games on their
pagers all the time! Number games!
**[06:58] ---**
So since 3135134 can also be read
as a couple of Japanese names,
**[07:03] ---**
that means the victims are
going to be 31-san and 51-san?
**[07:09] ---**
Sure, whatever.
**[07:10] ---**
Say, 162 might be an apartment
or hotel room number!
**[07:15] ---**
Or maybe a road?
**[07:18] ---**
Like Route 162, you know?!
**[07:25] ---**
So then what's the 3135134 stand for?
**[07:30] ---**
Maybe it was to camouflage the 162
**[07:35] ---**
in case the bad guys
found the calculator.
**[07:37] ---**
I see. Come to think of it,
the river was shaped like a road...
**[07:42] ---**
And the flow of the river
resembles a flow of cars.
**[07:50] ---**
Route 162...
**[07:53] ---**
Kyoto!
**[07:54] ---**
Too far. It would at least
have to be in the Tokyo region.
**[07:58] ---**
It would have to be a
primary municipal highway.
**[08:00] ---**
Here it is! Saitama Prefectural Route 162!
**[08:04] ---**
You found it, Conan-kun!
**[08:07] ---**
Here it is, Dad!
You can take us tomorrow!
**[08:09] ---**
Take you? What now?!
**[08:18] ---**
Why did I have to rent a car
and drive you around again?!
**[08:23] ---**
Because we don't have licenses!
**[08:25] ---**
Hey, he's a detective, right?
So why doesn't he have a car of his own?
**[08:30] ---**
He can't afford one!
**[08:31] ---**
It sounds like he doesn't
usually drive much.
**[08:34] ---**
We'd better put our seat belts on!
**[08:36] ---**
Yeah!
**[08:37] ---**
Hey, you! I'll have you know--
**[08:39] ---**
Keep your eyes on the road!
**[08:48] ---**
The curves are shaped differently.
**[08:50] ---**
This isn't the place!
**[08:54] ---**
This isn't it!
**[08:56] ---**
This isn't it either!
**[08:58] ---**
Doesn't look like this is it either...
**[09:01] ---**
This isn't it.
**[09:03] ---**
Why don't you give up already?
**[09:05] ---**
You're crazy if you think the shape
of the river will match a street.
**[09:09] ---**
What? You were the one who said
the river flowed like a flow of cars!
**[09:15] ---**
Did I now?
**[09:23] ---**
No more curves to check, I take it?
**[09:26] ---**
I'll just turn around up here and--
**[09:30] ---**
Under construction...
**[09:40] ---**
Stop the car!
**[09:46] ---**
Conan-kun?
**[09:57] ---**
Aha!
**[09:59] ---**
This building's on Route 162 too!
**[10:18] ---**
This is the place!
**[10:18] ---**
You're right!
**[10:20] ---**
It's definitely it!
**[10:21] ---**
Way to go, Conan!
**[10:22] ---**
What? You found it?!
**[10:24] ---**
Conan-kun wants you
to tell Inspector Megure.
**[10:28] ---**
Why me?
**[10:29] ---**
Because you have a good track record,
plus he trusts you!
**[10:35] ---**
A good track record? You sure know
about hard-to-understand things!
**[10:40] ---**
Oh well, guess I'll give him a ring!
**[10:44] ---**
Megure here.
**[10:46] ---**
Oh, Mori-kun! Perfect timing!
**[10:48] ---**
Come to the police headquarters
right away!
**[10:50] ---**
And bring Conan-kun with you!
**[10:55] ---**
There is only one reason why
I've asked you to come here.
**[10:58] ---**
We've learned that one of our officers
on vacation and his girlfriend
**[11:02] ---**
have gone missing.
**[11:04] ---**
This man.
**[11:09] ---**
This is the guy, Inspector!
**[11:11] ---**
I thought so.
**[11:12] ---**
The fingerprints on the calculator
matched his own when we checked.
**[11:17] ---**
His name is Koichi Yamabe.
**[11:19] ---**
He used to be an Olympic marksman.
**[11:22] ---**
A marksman?!
**[11:24] ---**
The kidnappers probably took
Yamabe and his girlfriend, Eri-san,
**[11:29] ---**
and are threatening to kill her
if he doesn't shoot someone for them.
**[11:36] ---**
So what Conan-kun and the others
saw was target practice for that?
**[11:39] ---**
Looks like your deductions hit the mark!
**[11:43] ---**
But our hands are still tied since we
don't know the most important facts:
**[11:46] ---**
when and where it will happen...
**[11:48] ---**
We know where!
**[11:52] ---**
Come again?!
**[11:58] ---**
Yes, it's very similar, indeed.
**[12:00] ---**
It looks like this is the place.
Excellent work!
**[12:03] ---**
Um, don't forget that I was
the one who drove them here!
**[12:07] ---**
But we still don't know
when the attack will be...
**[12:10] ---**
Yes, that's too bad...
**[12:14] ---**
It was around 1 pm
when the balloon burst, right?
**[12:17] ---**
Is that so? Then 1:00 must
be the time of the attack!
**[12:20] ---**
But on what day?
**[12:21] ---**
They're keeping two people captive!
They don't have time to waste!
**[12:26] ---**
The sniper attack will
probably be tomorrow!
**[12:27] ---**
Good thinking, Mori-kun!
**[12:29] ---**
Let's make preparations at once!
**[12:31] ---**
What's the matter, Conan-kun?
**[12:33] ---**
Oh, nothing...
**[12:42] ---**
Does this 162 really refer to Route 162?
**[12:48] ---**
If it were me, I would make sure to put
the place and time in the message...
**[12:52] ---**
Which means...
**[12:53] ---**
No...
**[12:54] ---**
No matter how I look at it,
the 3135134 still makes no sense!
**[13:07] ---**
Alright now. Don't make a move
until I give the order.
**[13:12] ---**
Roger that!
**[13:13] ---**
Understood!
**[13:14] ---**
We have police snipers and a
helicopter on standby at the river.
**[13:18] ---**
All preparations are complete.
**[13:20] ---**
If the sniper's going to strike at 1:00,
**[13:22] ---**
then the criminals should
appear by 12:00 at the latest.
**[13:26] ---**
One hour left...
**[13:27] ---**
But would you mind explaining why--
**[13:32] ---**
They insisted on coming along!
**[13:35] ---**
You guys aren't to leave this van!
**[13:39] ---**
Well?!
**[13:40] ---**
We know!
**[13:40] ---**
We know!
**[13:43] ---**
My ears...
**[13:52] ---**
Thirty minutes left...
**[14:13] ---**
Something's not right!
Why aren't they showing up?!
**[14:18] ---**
Maybe Conan-kun is wrong?
**[14:21] ---**
What?!
**[14:22] ---**
Of course he isn't!
**[14:23] ---**
No, that has to be it!
**[14:25] ---**
It was a mistake to
listen to some stupid kid!
**[14:29] ---**
Dad!
**[14:34] ---**
Let's see...
**[14:35] ---**
It was 3135134162, right?
**[14:40] ---**
3, 1, 3, 5, 1, 3, 4...
**[14:47] ---**
Mitsuhiko! Let me see that!
**[14:49] ---**
Okay...
**[14:54] ---**
That's it! Now I see!
**[14:59] ---**
You have it upside-down, Conan-kun...
**[15:02] ---**
Oh, wow!
**[15:04] ---**
You can read the numbers even
when you flip the calculator over! Cool!
**[15:07] ---**
What nonsense is this now?
**[15:09] ---**
See! 162 becomes 291!
**[15:11] ---**
And the rest looks like English letters!
**[15:14] ---**
Let me see that.
**[15:16] ---**
291, Heisei E...
**[15:20] ---**
They are readable...
**[15:26] ---**
Heisei E? Wait, I could swear
I've seen that somewhere before...
**[15:30] ---**
It was in the magazine
you were looking at yesterday!
**[15:37] ---**
The Heisei Express!
**[15:39] ---**
Wait, then that means this message
was meant to be read upside-down!
**[15:43] ---**
Meaning that the 162 actually
means the 29th at 1:00!
**[15:47] ---**
What?!
**[15:49] ---**
Yamabe-san must have realized
this upside-down trick
**[15:52] ---**
where he was being held
**[15:53] ---**
and tried to leave us this message
when he got the chance!
**[15:58] ---**
Inspector! Hurry! The helicopter!
**[16:01] ---**
Oh, right!
**[16:08] ---**
Heisei Express will be departing
from Platform 2 shortly.
**[16:25] ---**
Thank you!
**[16:27] ---**
Excuse me!
**[16:29] ---**
Yes?
**[16:32] ---**
Sit down before the train starts, Daddy!
**[16:35] ---**
Ok, I will...
**[16:37] ---**
It's going just as we planned.
**[16:39] ---**
He's sitting in the
very front of the first car!
**[17:13] ---**
It's time.
**[17:22] ---**
Huh? Where's Conan-kun?!
**[17:24] ---**
Eh?! Don't tell me he's--
**[17:27] ---**
What? When did you get in here?!
**[17:29] ---**
It doesn't matter! We won't
make it in time if we don't hurry!
**[17:33] ---**
Fine, whatever. Put this on!
**[17:36] ---**
Too big!
**[17:43] ---**
There's the Kanetsu Line!
**[17:45] ---**
Okay! Follow the tracks north!
**[18:24] ---**
Three minutes left...
**[18:25] ---**
We still haven't found a curve
that looks like the river!
**[18:33] ---**
Here it comes.
**[18:40] ---**
Try any funny business
and the girl's dead.
**[19:00] ---**
One minute left!
**[19:01] ---**
Inspector! There!
**[19:15] ---**
There they are! Get us lower!
**[19:25] ---**
What the...?
**[19:27] ---**
Who cares! Just shoot it down!
**[19:32] ---**
Bastard!
**[19:36] ---**
Stop or she's dead!
**[19:43] ---**
Don't shoot! You might hit Yamabe!
**[19:45] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[19:52] ---**
There's no wind! The helicopter's speed
is 5 meters per second!
**[19:55] ---**
Medium setting should do the trick!
**[20:00] ---**
Distance: 30 meters!
**[20:04] ---**
Go!
**[20:14] ---**
Got 'im!
**[20:14] ---**
What're you doing?!
That's dangerous!
**[20:17] ---**
Damn it!
**[20:24] ---**
Damn you!
**[20:29] ---**
It's all over! Give yourself up!
**[20:39] ---**
Koichi-san!
**[20:41] ---**
Eri!
**[20:46] ---**
What a stroke of luck that
this helmet just happened to hit him!
**[20:52] ---**
Here you are. Don't drop it
on the way back, now!
**[20:54] ---**
I won't!
**[20:56] ---**
Man, was that close...
**[21:07] ---**
You're okay! That's great!
**[21:10] ---**
Hey, Conan! That wasn't fair,
you get all the fun!
**[21:12] ---**
It isn't nice to hog all the glory!
**[21:14] ---**
Conan-kun!
**[21:16] ---**
Sorry!
**[21:20] ---**
Huh?
**[21:22] ---**
Conan! No more sneaking off
without permission!
**[21:29] ---**
He got you that time!
**[21:29] ---**
He got you that time!
**[21:31] ---**
Why you little...
**[21:53] ---**
*Just my imagination*
**[21:56] ---**
*Playing with threads around my finger
while drinking lukewarm tea*
**[22:07] ---**
*Let's walk lightly
to the bossa nova rhythm*
**[22:14] ---**
*The puzzle pieces are in my hands*
**[22:21] ---**
*That's right...*
**[22:26] ---**
*I was in the same place last week
but with different clothes*
**[22:37] ---**
*Step by step,
there's no reason to be anxious*
**[22:44] ---**
*Case by case,
I don't care if you laugh*
**[22:51] ---**
*Beyond the countless days,
she's waiting for me*
**[23:00] ---**
*I gotta go my own way*
**[23:10] ---**
The men we arrested were former
members of the Oni Tora crime ring.
**[23:16] ---**
Last year, the leader and various
high-ranking officials in the ring
**[23:19] ---**
were all put behind bars
by a skilled public prosecutor.
**[23:23] ---**
The remaining members
were forced to disband.
**[23:25] ---**
So it was that prosecutor
they were after?
**[23:27] ---**
He was on his way home
from a trip with his family.
**[23:30] ---**
Revenge was their motive.
**[23:32] ---**
But you did a spectacular job, Mori-kun!
**[23:37] ---**
I don't think I did...
**[23:39] ---**
...that bad, myself!
**[23:42] ---**
They're acting like
he solved it all by himself.
**[23:44] ---**
But I'm sure he'll take us
on vacation somewhere now!
**[23:48] ---**
Where would you want to go, Conan-kun?
**[23:50] ---**
That's easy! An amusement park!
**[23:55] ---**
Boy, it sure is hard to
constantly act like a kid!
**[24:04] ---**
It's a dead body!
**[24:09] ---**
It's gone! The corpse is gone!
**[24:11] ---**
It's disappeared!
**[24:13] ---**
That's impossible!
**[24:14] ---**
Let's go, everyone.
**[24:16] ---**
Wait, Inspector! We really saw--
**[24:20] ---**
I was a fool to believe you!
**[24:23] ---**
No, the body is here!
**[24:26] ---**
On the next Conan--
**[24:27] ---**
The Missing Corpse Murder.
**[24:47] ---**
Next Conan's Hint:
**[24:49] ---**
Answering Machine Phone.
**[24:52] ---**
Don't let next episode's trick blow you away.
**[24:57] ---**
