**[00:01] ---**
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 "MuneDoki" is the last one!
**[00:10] ---**
The alibi's just too strong!
Let your heart beat to the case!
**[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*
**[01:47] ---**
The Alibi Testimony Murder Case.
**[01:55] ---**
Wow! Look how fancy it is!
**[01:57] ---**
Now I see why
it's a five-star hotel!
**[02:00] ---**
This is going to be great, Conan-*kun*!
**[02:01] ---**
Yeah...
**[02:03] ---**
You kids are way too spoiled...
**[02:07] ---**
You're only here because the
restaurant's on the way, got that!
**[02:10] ---**
Yes, we know!
**[02:13] ---**
Say, isn't that the lawyer
who wants to hire you?
**[02:18] ---**
Yep, that's him! Mr. Tatsumi!
**[02:23] ---**
Your great detective work
is highly admired,
**[02:26] ---**
even within our judicial circles!
**[02:29] ---**
No, my work doesn't begin
to compare to yours...
**[02:33] ---**
All of my groups
know about you too! It's true!
**[02:38] ---**
Having your office in this
posh hotel is really impressive!
**[02:45] ---**
Tricks like this are necessary
when dealing with corporations.
**[02:50] ---**
So he's a popular lawyer who advises
a number of large corporations...
**[03:00] ---**
Wow!
**[03:04] ---**
What would you like to drink?
**[03:07] ---**
I'll have coffee.
**[03:09] ---**
These two don't need anything;
I'll kick them out soon.
**[03:12] ---**
There's no need to hurry.
**[03:15] ---**
Take your time and relax.
**[03:18] ---**
Hello? Room service, please.
**[03:20] ---**
If there's no reason to hurry,
then why's he so fixated on the time?
**[03:25] ---**
Excuse me while I use the restroom.
**[03:35] ---**
Sorry, but could someone
answer that for me?
**[03:44] ---**
It automatically records calls!
**[03:46] ---**
Hello?
**[03:48] ---**
Oh? You're not my husband...
**[03:50] ---**
Um, who may I ask is calling?
**[03:53] ---**
Who do you think?
Mrs. Tatsumi, of course.
**[03:58] ---**
Oops.
**[04:00] ---**
What is that?
**[04:02] ---**
Little boy?
**[04:03] ---**
Could you put my husband on?
**[04:04] ---**
Yes, just a minute--
**[04:08] ---**
Mr. Lawyer, it's your wife...
**[04:11] ---**
She never learns...
**[04:14] ---**
It's me. I have guests right now.
**[04:16] ---**
We can talk later.
**[04:20] ---**
Sorry. Now, about my job.
**[04:22] ---**
Before that... Ran, Conan.
**[04:24] ---**
Right!
**[04:26] ---**
Let's go, Conan-*kun*.
**[04:28] ---**
There's a tea lounge in the lobby.
**[04:31] ---**
Tell them my room number
and order whatever you'd like.
**[04:35] ---**
Thank you!
**[04:38] ---**
I'd like you to investigate
possible infidelity.
**[04:42] ---**
Of my wife, Kazumi.
**[04:50] ---**
It's almost been an hour...
**[04:53] ---**
Here he comes.
**[04:55] ---**
Dad!
**[04:56] ---**
Oh, there you are.
**[04:59] ---**
That took long. Is it a hard job?
**[05:02] ---**
No, not exactly...
**[05:03] ---**
Is something the matter?
**[05:05] ---**
He just wouldn't stop babbling
about how he'd like
**[05:11] ---**
to trust his wife again,
so it took longer than I expected.
**[05:17] ---**
So he's investigating
the wife's infidelity...
**[05:20] ---**
Anyway, I took the case.
**[05:22] ---**
So let's go eat at this
restaurant of yours.
**[05:24] ---**
Hurray!
**[05:26] ---**
Which is what I'd like to say, but this
is the underground parking garage!
**[05:30] ---**
The restaurant is up there!
**[05:32] ---**
Whoops...
**[05:33] ---**
Were you even being
serious about going?!
**[05:38] ---**
Mr. Tatsumi...
**[05:39] ---**
Conan! Let's go!
**[05:40] ---**
Coming!
**[05:48] ---**
I think I drank too much...
**[05:53] ---**
A police car. I wonder what for?
**[05:56] ---**
What a huge mansion!
**[05:58] ---**
So this is Mr. Tatsumi's house...
**[06:01] ---**
Lawyers must really make a lot...
**[06:05] ---**
Inspector Megure.
I brought Detective Mori.
**[06:08] ---**
Oh! Thanks for coming, Mori-*kun*!
**[06:11] ---**
What's the deal, Inspector?
**[06:16] ---**
Well, come have a look.
**[06:20] ---**
You two wait there.
**[06:31] ---**
Isn't that's Mr. Tatsumi's wife?
**[06:34] ---**
Yes. Kazumi-*san*. Twenty-seven years old.
**[06:36] ---**
The cause of death was
suffocation by strangulation.
**[06:39] ---**
There's no question
this was a murder.
**[06:45] ---**
A staple!
**[06:47] ---**
What's this doing here?
**[06:48] ---**
Alright, you!
**[06:51] ---**
What do you think you're doin'?!
**[06:53] ---**
Now, now, Mori-*kun*.
**[06:55] ---**
All three of your testimonies
are needed this time.
**[06:59] ---**
Testimonies?
**[07:00] ---**
Yes, it's true that my wife
and I didn't get along.
**[07:04] ---**
That's why I hired Mori-*san
*to check up on her...
**[07:11] ---**
Inspector. What was
the estimated time of death?
**[07:14] ---**
We won't know the
details until the autopsy,
**[07:17] ---**
but judging from the state of rigor mortis,
I'd say between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m.
**[07:23] ---**
That's when we were--
**[07:24] ---**
Yeah, that's when
we were at the hotel.
**[07:27] ---**
Now I get it.
**[07:28] ---**
So they called us here
to confirm his alibi...
**[07:31] ---**
I parted with Mori-*san
*and left the hotel.
**[07:35] ---**
I finished researching my next case,
and then when I came home, my wife was--
**[07:40] ---**
--as you saw...
**[07:42] ---**
Mori-*kun*. You're certain
you were with Mr. Tatsumi
**[07:47] ---**
between 2:00 and 3:00?
**[07:48] ---**
Yes. I'm certain.
**[07:50] ---**
He only disappeared
from my sight once,
**[07:55] ---**
and that was for only a minute.
**[07:57] ---**
Oh yes, the phone rang then...
**[08:01] ---**
Yeah! Conan-*kun* answered it!
**[08:03] ---**
Yeah! They said,
"I'm Mrs. Tatsumi, of course!"
**[08:08] ---**
Which means she was
still alive at that time?
**[08:12] ---**
The tape of that conversation should
still be in the phone at the hotel!
**[08:16] ---**
Really?! May we borrow this tape?
**[08:19] ---**
Of course. That's fine with me.
**[08:22] ---**
At any rate,
Tatsumi-*sensei* was with me
**[08:25] ---**
between 2:00 and 3:00;
his alibi is airtight.
**[08:29] ---**
And besides, the hotel
is 10 kilometers from his home.
**[08:35] ---**
Lawyer's Wife Murdered
**[08:40] ---**
"Lawyer's wife murdered.
**[08:43] ---**
The focus of the investigation
is on the victim's associate?"
**[08:47] ---**
She was having an affair.
**[08:50] ---**
Mr. Tatsumi's wife
was killed by her other lover?!
**[08:54] ---**
Judging from the scene
of the crime, it wasn't a robbery.
**[08:58] ---**
Our testimonies cleared
Tatsumi-*sensei* of all suspicion.
**[09:02] ---**
Which narrows it down.
**[09:04] ---**
Damn it! I lost that case
thanks to whoever killed her!
**[09:09] ---**
That makes me mad!
**[09:11] ---**
Something's not right.
**[09:13] ---**
There are too many things
about this case that bother me!
**[09:16] ---**
Why was it necessary
to put the body in the bathtub?
**[09:22] ---**
What was that staple for?
**[09:24] ---**
The way Mr. Tatsumi
stalled the old man for an hour...
**[09:29] ---**
Why was he so
fixated on the time?
**[09:32] ---**
Was it mere coincidence that he
had someone else pick up the phone?
**[09:36] ---**
What did he put in the car trunk?
**[09:39] ---**
I guess all the questions
start from the hotel!
**[09:45] ---**
Was that Conan-*kun*?
**[09:47] ---**
Conan-*kun*! Where are you going?
**[09:49] ---**
I'll be back in time!
**[09:54] ---**
This is Mr. Tatsumi's office.
**[09:56] ---**
The guest elevator is down there.
**[09:59] ---**
Similarly, the employee
elevator is over there.
**[10:02] ---**
The emergency exit is far, too.
**[10:10] ---**
What's that?
**[10:18] ---**
It's a laundry chute...
**[10:34] ---**
The staple!
**[10:36] ---**
That's it!
**[10:41] ---**
As always,
**[10:42] ---**
I've prepared the room next to my office,
so please make yourselves at home.
**[10:47] ---**
The room next to his office?
As always?
**[10:51] ---**
This is--
**[10:53] ---**
Where is it coming from?!
**[10:56] ---**
From here.
**[11:04] ---**
So that's what this is...
**[11:05] ---**
They have a music box instead
of an alarm clock buzzer!
**[11:09] ---**
Are you staying here, little boy?
**[11:12] ---**
No, I'm exploring!
**[11:14] ---**
Or are you getting into trouble?
**[11:18] ---**
That reminds me--
**[11:23] ---**
--the music box stopped
during the phone call!
**[11:26] ---**
What a rare alarm clock!
**[11:28] ---**
Do any other rooms have one?
**[11:30] ---**
Of course. All the rooms do.
**[11:33] ---**
They each have a real
music box hooked up to a timer.
**[11:37] ---**
I've finally found it!
**[11:40] ---**
Definitive proof
that Mr. Tatsumi killed her!
**[11:48] ---**
You're late!
**[11:49] ---**
Look how late you are!
**[11:51] ---**
You knew we were going
somewhere! Where were you?!
**[11:53] ---**
Where's the old man?
**[11:56] ---**
He already left!
**[12:07] ---**
You did this! You killed Kazumi!
**[12:11] ---**
I'm with the police.
What's going on here?
**[12:14] ---**
Who are you?
**[12:16] ---**
Hirose. I'm a design engineer.
**[12:20] ---**
I'm the man you're looking for.
**[12:22] ---**
I had an affair with Kazumi, the victim.
**[12:25] ---**
What?!
**[12:28] ---**
But I didn't kill her! Why would I?!
**[12:32] ---**
She was about
to divorce this guy
**[12:35] ---**
and marry me!
**[12:37] ---**
Oh, that's news to me.
**[12:40] ---**
Don't play dumb!
**[12:41] ---**
You knew!
**[12:44] ---**
He knew?
**[12:48] ---**
Assuming I had known,
why would I kill her?
**[12:53] ---**
As a lawyer, I've heard
about scores of cases
**[12:58] ---**
in which affairs led to murder.
**[13:02] ---**
Why, you!
**[13:03] ---**
And besides, I have an alibi.
**[13:05] ---**
I couldn't possibly have killed her.
**[13:09] ---**
Isn't that right, Mori-*san*?
**[13:11] ---**
Yes, I can vouch for him.
**[13:14] ---**
Hirose-*kun*, was it?
**[13:16] ---**
So how about yourself?
**[13:19] ---**
What's your alibi?
**[13:22] ---**
Where were you between
2:00 and 3:00 p.m.
**[13:24] ---**
on the day she was killed?!
**[13:26] ---**
I was--
**[13:31] ---**
Where were you?
**[13:35] ---**
I was tricked!
**[13:37] ---**
Tricked?!
**[13:39] ---**
I came here because
of Kazumi's letter...
**[13:42] ---**
Here.
**[13:47] ---**
"I'll be waiting for you
at home at 2:30.
**[13:50] ---**
Signed, Kazumi."
**[13:52] ---**
But she wasn't home.
**[13:54] ---**
I rang the doorbell,
but nobody answered, so I left!
**[13:58] ---**
This is really hard to believe,
**[14:00] ---**
since you were at the
scene when it happened.
**[14:03] ---**
Anyone can easily
make something like this!
**[14:07] ---**
You're a sore loser!
**[14:09] ---**
It's clear that you're the killer!
**[14:12] ---**
Inspector. Take him in.
**[14:14] ---**
He ruined my case!
**[14:17] ---**
Ruined?
**[14:17] ---**
You got it all wrong!
**[14:19] ---**
He always does!
**[14:21] ---**
Hirose-*san*. I'd like you
to come down to the station.
**[14:25] ---**
Sorry, old man!
**[14:32] ---**
Are you all right?
**[14:34] ---**
I'm fine, thanks.
**[14:36] ---**
No! It wasn't me!
**[14:38] ---**
He's right.
**[14:40] ---**
The real sore loser isn't
Hirose-*san*-- it's you, Tatsumi-*sensei*!
**[14:48] ---**
What do you mean, Mori-*kun*?
**[14:50] ---**
Are you saying
Mr. Tatsumi is the killer?
**[14:52] ---**
Precisely.
**[14:57] ---**
Really now, this is absurd.
**[15:01] ---**
This will tarnish your name
as a great detective, Mori-*san*!
**[15:04] ---**
I could say the exact same
thing to you, Mr. Tatsumi.
**[15:10] ---**
It truly was an impressive
trick of utilizing blind spots.
**[15:15] ---**
You had me completely fooled.
**[15:17] ---**
The place a body is found
doesn't necessarily equate
**[15:20] ---**
to the location of the murder.
**[15:22] ---**
In other words, the murder
didn't take place here at your home,
**[15:26] ---**
but at the hotel!
**[15:29] ---**
No way!
**[15:30] ---**
What are you talking about?!
**[15:33] ---**
Mori-*kun*!
**[15:34] ---**
The voice on the tape
of the phone call with Conan-*kun*
**[15:38] ---**
was professionally analyzed
and determined to be the victim's!
**[15:43] ---**
Yes, of course it was her.
**[15:46] ---**
Because she called from the room
next to Tatsumi-*sensei*'s office,
**[15:50] ---**
which he had rented.
**[15:53] ---**
Come again?!
**[15:54] ---**
The room next door?!
**[15:55] ---**
On that day, Tatsumi-*sensei*
**[15:58] ---**
made his wife wait in the guest
room that he always uses for clients.
**[16:04] ---**
He then had her call the hotel
at a predetermined time
**[16:09] ---**
with a cell phone.
**[16:11] ---**
He made someone else
answer the unconnected call.
**[16:16] ---**
Hello?
**[16:17] ---**
Because nobody would ever suspect
that the caller was in the very next room.
**[16:24] ---**
Immediately after
his business with me ended,
**[16:27] ---**
he went next door
and killed his wife.
**[16:31] ---**
He put the body
in a laundry basket
**[16:35] ---**
and dropped it down
a nearby laundry chute.
**[16:41] ---**
That was the hotel
employees' break time
**[16:44] ---**
so there wasn't a soul to be
found, was there, Tatsumi-*sensei*?
**[16:50] ---**
However, the bag
with the body was stapled.
**[16:55] ---**
Stapled with a cleaning tag.
**[16:59] ---**
That was the staple found in
the bathroom, Inspector Megure.
**[17:03] ---**
Now that you mention it...
**[17:05] ---**
But why was the
body in the bathtub?
**[17:07] ---**
His plan probably
started when he realized
**[17:10] ---**
that the trunk and the bathtub
are about the same size.
**[17:16] ---**
The body would stiffen,
**[17:18] ---**
so he couldn't
just toss it in the house.
**[17:22] ---**
Then he pointed the finger at Hirose-*san
*who was lured here by the fake letter,
**[17:28] ---**
and then he escaped suspicion
by having me vouch for him.
**[17:33] ---**
It really was quite impressive.
**[17:37] ---**
You disappoint me.
You're a lousy detective.
**[17:40] ---**
Where is your proof
that I killed her?
**[17:45] ---**
No court of law could
make me stand trial like this.
**[17:50] ---**
He's right, Mori-*kun*!
**[17:51] ---**
I do have proof.
**[17:54] ---**
Inspector. There's something
I'd like you to get right away.
**[18:00] ---**
The tape of the phone call...
**[18:03] ---**
Is that all you need, Mori-*kun*?
**[18:05] ---**
The tape of my wife on the phone?
**[18:08] ---**
What do you want with that?!
**[18:09] ---**
Play it, if you would.
**[18:12] ---**
Hello?
**[18:13] ---**
Oh? You're not my husband...
**[18:15] ---**
Um, who may I ask is calling?
**[18:18] ---**
Who do you think?
Mrs. Tatsumi, of course.
**[18:22] ---**
What's this?!
**[18:23] ---**
A music box?
**[18:24] ---**
Shh! Quiet!
**[18:26] ---**
Oops.
**[18:30] ---**
Little boy?
**[18:31] ---**
Could you put my husband on?
**[18:33] ---**
Yes, just a minute--
**[18:35] ---**
That's enough.
**[18:38] ---**
Now do you see?
**[18:40] ---**
That hotel uses this music box
in place of alarm clock buzzers.
**[18:46] ---**
In other words,
your wife had set the alarm
**[18:49] ---**
but forgot to turn it off
when making the call.
**[18:53] ---**
Sorry, but music boxes like
this can be found anywhere.
**[18:56] ---**
It doesn't prove a thing.
**[18:58] ---**
Inspector.
**[18:59] ---**
Any music boxes
where the body was found?
**[19:02] ---**
No, none at all.
**[19:04] ---**
The killer could have run
off with it for whatever reason.
**[19:09] ---**
Unlikely.
**[19:11] ---**
And why's that?
**[19:13] ---**
Conan. The tape.
**[19:15] ---**
Right!
**[19:17] ---**
Here!
**[19:18] ---**
This is a recording of the music box
in the room next to Mr. Tatsumi's office!
**[19:26] ---**
Give it a listen.
**[19:36] ---**
That can't be!
**[19:38] ---**
It's missing a note!
**[19:40] ---**
That's right. The music box
in the next room over
**[19:44] ---**
is probably missing either
a cylinder pin or a tooth!
**[19:51] ---**
In other words, it's the only music
box like it in the world, Tatsumi-*sensei*!
**[19:58] ---**
Now then, let's hear the
phone recording one more time.
**[20:03] ---**
It would be a waste of time.
**[20:08] ---**
To think a lawyer would be
blackmailed by his own wife...
**[20:12] ---**
Blackmailed? By your wife?
**[20:15] ---**
She demanded 200 million.
**[20:17] ---**
Two hundred million?!
**[20:19] ---**
It took skill to get where I am today.
**[20:24] ---**
But because of my position, I'm often
privy to corporate secrets and the like.
**[20:31] ---**
I never made any demands,
**[20:33] ---**
but a lot of extra money
was added to my counsel fees.
**[20:36] ---**
Some of it was illegal,
to be more precise.
**[20:39] ---**
Kazumi found out about this.
**[20:42] ---**
I'll keep quiet
if you give me 200 million--
**[20:44] ---**
a year's worth of this dirty money--
in the form of divorce compensation.
**[20:49] ---**
It's not that much when you
consider you can keep your reputation.
**[20:53] ---**
But then she got
involved with that designer...
**[20:58] ---**
I couldn't let her get away with it.
**[21:00] ---**
"I'll do what you want,
but on one condition.
**[21:04] ---**
Call me at the specified time or
else I won't pay the 200 million!"
**[21:08] ---**
She agreed without a single question.
**[21:12] ---**
She would get
200 million and her man!
**[21:14] ---**
It was only natural.
**[21:16] ---**
But you shouldn't have made her call.
**[21:19] ---**
You had the call
recorded automatically,
**[21:22] ---**
but you should've listened to it
again before giving it to the police.
**[21:25] ---**
Your trick to pull off the perfect crime
actually wound up proving your guilt.
**[21:31] ---**
I gambled with myself.
**[21:35] ---**
No matter how good the lawyer,
the moment of truth is always a gamble.
**[21:40] ---**
Until now,
I'd never once lost that bet.
**[21:45] ---**
You may be a good lawyer,
but you were a poor criminal.
**[21:49] ---**
That's how it is, sir.
**[23:38] ---**
Inspector!
**[23:39] ---**
Good work, Mori-*kun*.
**[23:42] ---**
Despite being tricked
and taken advantage of.
**[23:44] ---**
Hope to work with you again.
**[23:46] ---**
Oh, uh, same here...
**[23:48] ---**
Tricked? Who? By who?
**[23:51] ---**
Oh, well!
**[23:52] ---**
Gimme a break.
**[23:54] ---**
Now his reputation keeps
getting better and better...
**[24:03] ---**
It was definitely
Matsuo-*san* who did this!
**[24:06] ---**
But how did he go from the
studio and back in four minutes?!
**[24:10] ---**
Aha! I've finally
found the secret path!
**[24:15] ---**
I wouldn't want
the criminal to leave
**[24:18] ---**
when the logic show's
just about to begin...
**[24:21] ---**
...Takashi Matsuo-*san*!
**[24:26] ---**
On the next Conan--
**[24:27] ---**
The TV Station Murder Case.
**[24:47] ---**
Next Conan's Hint:
**[24:49] ---**
Bloody window.
**[24:51] ---**
Next episode, a new opening theme.
**[24:54] ---**
Seriously? I'm so excited! So super good!
**[24:56] ---**
