**[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.
