[00:01] ---
    My name's Conan Edogawa!
[00:03] ---
    High school student Shinichi was forced
    to take a drug that shrunk him.
[00:06] ---
    Although smaller, my mind remains
    that of a sharp detective!
[00:10] ---
    Today's case involves a missing corpse!
[00:12] ---
    Even if you do deceive everybody,
    there's still 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 Missing Corpse Murder.
[01:59] ---
    Sure is quiet around here lately...
[02:03] ---
    The Junior Detective League can't
    do anything if nobody needs help...
[02:09] ---
    Of course not.
[02:10] ---
    If clients showed up that easily,
    we detectives would be worry-free.
[02:14] ---
    And Professor Agasa went through
    the trouble of making badges for us...
[02:18] ---
    They look cool no matter
    how many times I look at them!
[02:20] ---
    Detective Boys... The Junior
    Detective League's exclusive design!
[02:25] ---
    They even act as transceivers!
[02:26] ---
    Bah! These badges are worthless
    if we have no cases to solve--
[02:30] ---
    Excuse me...
[02:31] ---
    I have a small request for you...
[02:35] ---
    You're Hiroki,
    from the next classroom over!
[02:38] ---
    What is it? A murder?!
[02:40] ---
    Fraud?!
[02:41] ---
    Your parents are having an affair?!
[02:43] ---
    No... Akira disappeared last night...
[02:48] ---
    A missing persons case!
[02:49] ---
    A missing persons case!
[02:53] ---
    Kidnapping isn't out of the question!
[02:55] ---
    So what does she look like?!
[02:57] ---
    I have a picture of her. Here.
[03:02] ---
    A cat?!
[03:04] ---
    Are you saying it was
    this cat that disappeared?
[03:08] ---
    Yes.
[03:09] ---
    Too bad it wasn't a kidnapping!
[03:12] ---
    I can pay you each 10 yen.
[03:14] ---
    10 yen?!
[03:15] ---
    No way! We only handle
    higher-level cases!
[03:20] ---
    I'm sure the cat will
    come back eventually!
[03:22] ---
    But...
[03:24] ---
    Bye now.
[03:28] ---
    I was going to give you some
    Masked Yaiba cards if you found her...
[03:34] ---
    See! I collect them!
[03:38] ---
    Masked Yaiba cards?!
[03:41] ---
    What's more, these are the super rare...
[03:43] ---
    ...Hyper Golden Cards!
[03:46] ---
    We accept the case!
[03:46] ---
    We accept the case!
[03:48] ---
    Eh?!
[03:49] ---
    What's with you guys?!
[04:08] ---
    Darn it, we can't find her anywhere...
[04:11] ---
    That's strange... She disappeared yesterday,
    so she should still be nearby...
[04:18] ---
    Hey. We worked really hard,
    so give us our cards now.
[04:22] ---
    No way. You didn't find her.
[04:25] ---
    Say, does this cat have any habits
    or special abilities or anything?
[04:29] ---
    Now that you mention it, Akira's meow
    is a lot different than other cats'.
[04:36] ---
    Like this...
[04:39] ---
    Yes! Just like that!
[04:42] ---
    Where did it come from?!
[04:44] ---
    From that house!
[04:47] ---
    Akira! Akira!
[04:52] ---
    Akira!
[04:53] ---
    We did it!
[04:53] ---
    We did it!
[05:04] ---
    She's covered in blood!
[05:05] ---
    We have to help her right away!
[05:08] ---
    No! This cat is uninjured!
[05:11] ---
    Which means...
[05:13] ---
    It couldn't be!
[05:15] ---
    Wait for us, Conan! What's going on?!
[05:21] ---
    Is there something there?
[05:23] ---
    Let me see too!
[05:24] ---
    Me too!
[05:42] ---
    I have to call the police right away!
[05:51] ---
    Are you the ones who made the call?
[05:53] ---
    Did you really see a corpse?
[05:55] ---
    Yes!
[05:55] ---
    Honest!
[05:56] ---
    There's no question
    about it, Inspector.
[05:58] ---
    Conan-kun!
[06:00] ---
    Plus, nobody has left the house
    since we discovered the body.
[06:07] ---
    In other words,
    the corpse is still inside!
[06:12] ---
    Police! Open up!
[06:16] ---
    What's the racket?!
[06:19] ---
    These kids say they saw
    a dead body in your house.
[06:23] ---
    A dead body?!
[06:24] ---
    We're certain we saw it!
[06:26] ---
    A man in the bathroom!
[06:28] ---
    He was lying in the bathtub,
    covered in blood!
[06:31] ---
    Ridiculous! I was just taking a bath!
[06:35] ---
    See for yourself!
    It's that room straight ahead!
[06:38] ---
    I think I'll do just that.
[06:40] ---
    Hey!
[06:45] ---
    It's gone! The body is gone!
[06:47] ---
    It disappeared!
[06:49] ---
    That's impossible!
[06:51] ---
    See! No corpses! These brats are
    probably just pulling a prank on you!
[06:57] ---
    But we really saw it!
[06:59] ---
    There was a dead body, covered in blood
    and lying in the bathroom!
[07:02] ---
    Yeah!
[07:04] ---
    This guy must've hidden it!
[07:06] ---
    What?!
[07:09] ---
    Approximately 15 minutes have passed
    from the time you called us
[07:14] ---
    until we arrived here.
[07:16] ---
    That's more than enough
    time to hide a body.
[07:19] ---
    This is ridiculous!
[07:21] ---
    Search all you want!
    I'm going upstairs to sleep!
[07:24] ---
    You don't mind if we
    search without you then?
[07:28] ---
    Fine by me!
[07:29] ---
    Ransack the place if you want,
    there's nothing to find!
[07:32] ---
    If you have any problems,
    tell my brother. He'll be home soon!
[07:37] ---
    But the police must be bored to death
[07:39] ---
    if they'll make a fuss over a
    bunch of deviant little miscreants!
[07:48] ---
    Bah!
[07:49] ---
    Search! The body's here somewhere!
[07:53] ---
    Search every nook and cranny!
[07:55] ---
    Find the body at all costs!
[08:01] ---
    Um...
[08:02] ---
    Did something happen here?
[08:05] ---
    Inspector!
[08:07] ---
    The younger brother has returned.
[08:09] ---
    W-What is this...? What's going on?!
[08:13] ---
    This lad here says he saw
    a corpse in your house.
[08:17] ---
    A corpse?!
[08:24] ---
    Whoops!
[08:25] ---
    What are you doing?!
[08:27] ---
    No, that's alright!
    It wasn't worth much...
[08:30] ---
    Hey! Keep it down, will you?!
[08:35] ---
    I take it my brother is upstairs?
[08:37] ---
    Yes. He seems rather angry, too.
[08:41] ---
    Pardon my rudeness, but what exactly
    does your brother do for a living?
[08:45] ---
    He's a writer, for the time being.
[08:47] ---
    But in reality, he usually stays
    at home and does nothing at all...
[08:51] ---
    Here's my card...
[08:54] ---
    Tanaka Tomofumi...
[08:57] ---
    I see you work for a securities firm...
[09:00] ---
    So just you and your brother live here?
[09:03] ---
    That's right.
[09:04] ---
    Though technically it's my house.
    My brother lives here for free.
[09:10] ---
    What's this?
[09:12] ---
    A leaf?
[09:16] ---
    Well, we've checked the house
    from top to bottom...
[09:19] ---
    All that's left is your brother's room.
[09:22] ---
    Yes. I hope he doesn't
    get too mad at you...
[09:26] ---
    Brother...?
[09:29] ---
    Brother?
[09:29] ---
    ...the high pressure ridge will
    bring clear skies to most of Japan.
[09:36] ---
    It's alright. It looks like he's asleep.
[09:38] ---
    I see.
[09:40] ---
    ...showers starting at around 1 o'clock.
[09:45] ---
    The rain may remain heavy until evening.
[09:47] ---
    Oh? There's a large tree in the backyard.
[09:51] ---
    What can you tell me about it?
[09:53] ---
    Tanaka-san?
[09:55] ---
    Come on! If you're going to sleep,
    at least turn the TV off!
[10:00] ---
    It sounds like he heard me...
[10:02] ---
    I believe I've shown you
    everything I can...
[10:06] ---
    And no dead bodies whatsoever...
[10:09] ---
    You little scoundrels!
[10:10] ---
    We're not lying!
[10:13] ---
    Say, the body could've been
    carried outside by now!
[10:20] ---
    But Conan-kun...
[10:22] ---
    Didn't you say no one entered or
    left this house before we arrived?
[10:30] ---
    That's what I said,
[10:31] ---
    but I only watched from the
    phone booth in front of the house.
[10:35] ---
    I didn't see the backyard.
[10:37] ---
    But there's a high wall behind the house.
[10:41] ---
    But you saw that big tree, right?
[10:44] ---
    If you tied a body to yourself
    and used that tree,
[10:47] ---
    you could get over the wall!
[10:50] ---
    Tanaka residence!
[10:51] ---
    Yes?
[10:53] ---
    No, you must have the wrong number.
[10:55] ---
    That's okay!
[10:57] ---
    Goodbye!
[11:00] ---
    Wrong number. So what were
    we talking about again?
[11:04] ---
    The tree in the back.
[11:05] ---
    Ah, that was originally there
    when I bought the place.
[11:10] ---
    Was the ringer off on that phone?!
[11:13] ---
    Hey! Are you alright up there?!
[11:15] ---
    Y-Yes, sir!
[11:16] ---
    Can you climb over it
    with someone tied to you?
[11:19] ---
    I think I can...
[11:24] ---
    I can't, Inspector!
[11:25] ---
    I can't get down. The outer side
    of the wall is an embankment!
[11:29] ---
    Are there any footholds
    or anything of the sort?
[11:32] ---
    There's a walkway
    about 40 centimeters wide,
[11:34] ---
    but it would be impossible
    to use with a body tied to me!
[11:36] ---
    Even if I could get down, it would
    take everything I had just to walk.
[11:41] ---
    There's no corpse inside the house,
[11:44] ---
    and it's impossible to carry one outside!
[11:46] ---
    In other words, you lied.
[11:49] ---
    You can't be serious!?
[11:50] ---
    Let's go, everyone!
[11:52] ---
    Wait, Inspector!
[11:54] ---
    We really saw it!
[11:56] ---
    Even if you did catch that
    gang of Italian thieves,
[11:59] ---
    it was still stupid of me to trust you!
[12:12] ---
    How?
[12:14] ---
    How could the body have vanished?
[12:17] ---
    All I can think of at this point is that
    the older brother washed the blood off
[12:22] ---
    while the younger brother made
    preparations to carry the body out.
[12:34] ---
    It's just like the leaf that
    was on the younger brother...
[12:37] ---
    Does this mean that they really did
    use this tree to get the body outside?
[12:45] ---
    Oh! Conan-kun!
[12:47] ---
    Hey there!
[12:48] ---
    What're you doing here?
    Are you stupid?!
[12:50] ---
    You idiot!
[12:52] ---
    We can't let them call our
    detective club a bunch of liars!
[12:55] ---
    These guys can be such a pain...
[12:58] ---
    Oh no! Hide!
[13:00] ---
    Did they see us?
[13:03] ---
    That scary man's still sleeping there!
[13:06] ---
    Now what do we do?
[13:08] ---
    Jeez, he should at least close
    the curtain or something...
[13:11] ---
    And doesn't he ever get
    tired sleeping like that?!
[13:16] ---
    Wait a second!
[13:17] ---
    Have I been looking at this
    the wrong way the whole time?!
[13:31] ---
    Conan-kun!
[13:32] ---
    What's going on?!
[13:36] ---
    I might've figured out the trick
    the killer used to hide the body!
[13:41] ---
    Wait here. I'm going inside
    to see if I'm right.
[13:45] ---
    Okay! We'll help too!
[13:48] ---
    No! There may be a killer inside!
[13:52] ---
    You guys go wait by
    the phone booth outside!
[13:55] ---
    I'll contact you if I find the body!
[13:58] ---
    If I do, it's your job to
    contact the police right away!
[14:02] ---
    He locked it!
[14:06] ---
    Now for the room upstairs!
[14:11] ---
    This isn't good--he's still awake!
[14:15] ---
    What did he put down?!
[14:21] ---
    A cell phone...
[14:23] ---
    That's it! That trick
    could work if you used this!
[14:28] ---
    I've got most of
    this case figured out now!
[14:31] ---
    Conan sure is taking a long time...
[14:33] ---
    Yeah...
[14:35] ---
    He said he'd contact us
    using these miniature transceivers
[14:39] ---
    if he found the body...
[14:41] ---
    What if he's actually trying to
    take all the credit for himself?!
[14:43] ---
    Conan-kun would never
    do something like that!
[14:53] ---
    This is the room!
[14:58] ---
    I see! So I was right!
[15:03] ---
    There's an answering machine
    and a VCR in this room!
[15:08] ---
    Uh oh!
[15:12] ---
    That's odd...
[15:14] ---
    I thought I heard something in here.
    Must've been my imagination...
[15:19] ---
    Hey, what's taking so long,
    Conan? What're you doing?!
[15:22] ---
    Who's there?!
[15:23] ---
    Who's there?!
[15:25] ---
    Oh no!
[15:27] ---
    It sounds like he's been spotted!
[15:28] ---
    Get out of there, Conan-kun!
[15:30] ---
    There's no use in hiding!
[15:32] ---
    Give yourself up and come out!
[15:34] ---
    Dammit! I guess I have no choice now
    but to leave my transmitter on!
[15:39] ---
    You're the one who should
    give yourself up, Tanaka-san!
[15:43] ---
    Neither we nor the police
    could find the corpse...
[15:46] ---
    But it was in the house the entire time,
    right under our noses, even!
[15:51] ---
    That's right.
[15:52] ---
    The corpse I'm referring to is the man
    who was sitting in this very room,
[15:56] ---
    watching television...
[15:57] ---
    Your older brother!
[16:00] ---
    Who are you?!
[16:05] ---
    Conan Edogawa. A detective.
[16:08] ---
    A detective?!
[16:10] ---
    This is how your trick worked...
[16:14] ---
    Seeing that we had
    discovered your brother's body,
[16:17] ---
    you washed all the blood
    off him in the bathroom,
[16:20] ---
    put a bathrobe on him,
    sat him in a chair upstairs,
[16:23] ---
    then came down to talk to the police,
    who had come in search of the body.
[16:26] ---
    You had boldly disguised yourself
    as the brother you murdered.
[16:31] ---
    The two of you have
    always looked similar.
[16:33] ---
    Relatives would know the difference,
[16:35] ---
    but everybody else would be
    fooled by such a simple disguise.
[16:38] ---
    Then, while the police searched the house,
[16:41] ---
    you jumped from the 2nd floor window
    to the tree, and then over the wall.
[16:45] ---
    The outer side of the wall
    acts as an embankment,
[16:47] ---
    but there was just enough room
    for a single person to walk...
[16:51] ---
    You then returned to the front door
    as the younger brother...
[16:53] ---
    ...and acted like you had
    no idea what had happened!
[16:59] ---
    What? You found the body?
[17:01] ---
    Yeah!
[17:03] ---
    The younger brother was the killer,
[17:04] ---
    and the older brother who
    was sleeping was the corpse!
[17:07] ---
    Don't be ridiculous. He was alive.
[17:11] ---
    He turned the TV off
    when his brother told him to,
[17:14] ---
    and he even yelled at you
    when you broke that jar.
[17:19] ---
    Yes. You tried to make it look
    like your brother was really alive.
[17:25] ---
    And you used the VCR,
    the answering machine,
[17:27] ---
    and your cell phone to do it!
[17:31] ---
    That shouting was something you had
    recorded to the answering machine
[17:35] ---
    before the police showed up.
[17:36] ---
    You played it back on
    the answering machine
[17:39] ---
    by using your cell phone's quick-dial
    feature at just the right time!
[17:43] ---
    Of course, you turned off the ringers
    on all the phones in advance
[17:47] ---
    to make it sound like your brother
    was yelling from upstairs.
[17:52] ---
    Hey! Keep it down, will you?!
[17:56] ---
    As proof of this fact, you picked up
    the phone, which didn't ring,
[18:00] ---
    when a person calling the wrong
    number just happened to call.
[18:02] ---
    You probably saw the light on the
    phone blink when the phone call came.
[18:07] ---
    If you hadn't picked it up, the
    answering machine would've kicked in
[18:10] ---
    and we would have
    heard him yelling again...
[18:14] ---
    Yes. Like this.
[18:20] ---
    Hey! Keep it down, will you?!
[18:24] ---
    The TV turned off because you
    set the VCR's timer in advance
[18:28] ---
    and then did a little bit
    of acting of your own.
[18:31] ---
    Isn't that right, Tanaka Tomofumi-san?
[18:35] ---
    Hurry! Something bad might happen
    to Conan-kun if you don't hurry!
[18:38] ---
    Give me a break, will you?
    I'm hanging up.
[18:41] ---
    You're one smart kid,
    I'll give you that.
[18:44] ---
    That's right...
[18:48] ---
    I killed my brother!
[18:54] ---
    Damn it! Where'd you go?!
[18:57] ---
    Come back here!
[19:07] ---
    I was being taken advantage of!
[19:10] ---
    By my worthless brother, who stayed
    in my house and refused to work!
[19:17] ---
    I found these documents
    in your room, Tomofumi...
[19:21] ---
    These are illegally-traded stocks, yes?
[19:24] ---
    Don't worry. We're brothers.
    I won't tell anyone.
[19:30] ---
    But in return, you'll take care of me
    for the rest of my life, right?
[19:35] ---
    I took care of him ever since...
[19:38] ---
    But then he demanded
    even more money from me!
[19:42] ---
    So I bashed that parasite's head in!
[19:48] ---
    Little brat! There's no way
    for you to understand how I felt!
[19:54] ---
    I loved my brother more than anyone else!
[19:57] ---
    My talented brother, who was
    prized as a rising new novelist!
[20:05] ---
    He's disguised as his older brother!
    He's really gone insane!
[20:10] ---
    I idolized my brother...
[20:15] ---
    I always wanted to be like him...
[20:19] ---
    But then he fell from grace!
[20:22] ---
    The brother I idolized so much
    had become a common leech!
[20:28] ---
    I'm taking back that brother
    who I looked up to!
[20:34] ---
    Now do you get it? I'm... I'm...
[20:39] ---
    ...going to become my brother!
[20:45] ---
    Now I'm mad!
[20:47] ---
    I'll use these Power Kick Shoes
    to finish this!
[20:56] ---
    Oh no! My kicks are so strong
    that they destroy these vegetables!
[21:00] ---
    Isn't there anything else?!
[21:03] ---
    Now that you've seen through my trick,
    I can't let you live!
[21:07] ---
    Sorry, kid! Time to die!
[21:48] ---
    Just my imagination
[21:51] ---
    Playing with threads around my finger
    while drinking lukewarm tea
[22:02] ---
    Let's walk lightly
    to the bossa nova rhythm
[22:09] ---
    The puzzle pieces are in my hands
[22:15] ---
    That's right...
[22:21] ---
    I was in the same place last week
    but with different clothes
[22:32] ---
    Step by step,
    there's no reason to be anxious
[22:39] ---
    Case by case,
    I don't care if you laugh
[22:46] ---
    Beyond the countless days,
    she's waiting for me
[22:54] ---
    I gotta go my own way
[23:05] ---
    The authorities arrived
    shortly afterward.
[23:08] ---
    The inspector's faith in us
    was restored once more,
[23:11] ---
    and the case that started as a
    "missing cat" investigation came to an end.
[23:15] ---
    And then...
[23:20] ---
    No clients as usual...
[23:23] ---
    Dang, not even catching a
    murderer seems to have helped...
[23:28] ---
    Um...
[23:29] ---
    My cat disappeared again...
[23:35] ---
    I think this may be tied
    to another incident!
[23:38] ---
    Yeah, that's no ordinary cat, you know!
[23:41] ---
    Come on! Let's take the case!
[23:42] ---
    Yeah! Besides, we have nothing else to do!
[23:45] ---
    We found out later that
    Hiroki's cat Akira was nothing more
[23:49] ---
    than a mischievous cat who liked
    to sneak into all kinds of places.
[23:52] ---
    She never led us
    to any further incidents.
[24:12] ---
    Your husband was into
    swordsmanship, I take it?
[24:15] ---
    Which means that the killer
    was quite an expert as well...
[24:19] ---
    None of the three callers have alibis!
[24:22] ---
    You're confessing that you,
    yourself, are the murderer!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    The Antique Collector Murder.
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Scratches on a dresser
[24:52] ---
    Next episode's culprit will be tough to identify.
