[00:01] ---
    As times change, difficult
    cases increase in number!
[00:04] ---
    Today is alibi destruction.
[00:07] ---
    Use someone and you'll pay!
[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!
[01:46] ---
    The Akaoni Fire Festival Murder Case.
[01:56] ---
    When are we going
    to find any clues
[01:58] ---
    about those men in black?
[02:03] ---
    You said that if I made
    old man Mori famous
[02:06] ---
    he'd get more clients and then
    maybe we'd find out about them...
[02:11] ---
    He got more clients, didn't he?
[02:13] ---
    Yeah, but we haven't heard
    anything about those guys...
[02:18] ---
    Just be patient.
[02:20] ---
    Act hastily and they
    might find out about you.
[02:25] ---
    If that happens--
[02:27] ---
    I know.
[02:28] ---
    It might put Ran and
    the old man in danger!
[02:32] ---
    Wait quietly for now.
[02:34] ---
    A detective needs
    patience too, you know.
[02:39] ---
    Say, what kind
    of experiment is that?
[02:43] ---
    Oh, this? It's a--
[02:52] ---
    Now do you know what kind?
[02:55] ---
    Yeah. A dangerous one.
[03:04] ---
    What a lousy situation.
[03:08] ---
    Huh?
[03:10] ---
    It's old man Mori. What's he doing?
[03:19] ---
    Excellent choice, sir.
[03:22] ---
    Could I have your address, sir?
[03:28] ---
    Hey!
[03:30] ---
    What are you up to?
[03:33] ---
    Shh! I'm working!
[03:35] ---
    Oh, are you following
    that guy around?
[03:38] ---
    Hey, now!
    What if he notices me?!
[03:42] ---
    Get outta here, kid!
[03:43] ---
    Go tell Ran I won't
    be home for dinner!
[03:52] ---
    Don't mind me!
[03:55] ---
    Gimme a break.
[04:03] ---
    Akaoni Village Fire Festival
    Sunday, November 10th
[04:46] ---
    Talk about an easy job!
[04:49] ---
    Half a million yen just for
    watching someone for three days!
[04:53] ---
    Some jobs really
    rake in the dough!
[04:55] ---
    That's because everyone
    admires your great detective work!
[05:02] ---
    Even I'm amazed at how
    I've solved one case after another!
[05:08] ---
    I solved them all.
[05:10] ---
    Come to think of it,
    your job's been going well
[05:13] ---
    ever since Conan-kun came!
[05:16] ---
    Maybe he brought
    some good luck with him!
[05:21] ---
    That's silly...
[05:22] ---
    Ran. How long are we gonna
    take care of this twerp?
[05:26] ---
    Are his parents
    still in the hospital?!
[05:30] ---
    Actually, when I visited
    Professor Agasa yesterday...
[05:35] ---
    They did get out of the hospital,
[05:37] ---
    but then they suddenly
    got transferred overseas...
[05:40] ---
    They left yesterday!
[05:43] ---
    Eh? They just left
    Conan-kun behind?!
[05:45] ---
    They said they'll send
    for him once they settle in.
[05:51] ---
    So we're taking
    care of him again?
[05:54] ---
    What was I supposed to say?
[05:56] ---
    He has nowhere else to go...
[05:58] ---
    So basically, you've been abandoned.
[06:01] ---
    Whatever.
[06:03] ---
    If I ever talk to his parents, I'll have
    to charge them for his upbringing...
[06:07] ---
    Hey, now.
[06:09] ---
    At 8:00 pm today,
    a man's body was found
[06:12] ---
    under the burning tower
    of the Akaoni Fire Festival.
[06:17] ---
    According to his personal effects,
[06:20] ---
    the body was that of
    42 year old Negishi Masaki-san.
[06:23] ---
    What?!
[06:24] ---
    --are investigating this
    as a possible murder--
[06:26] ---
    This is the guy!
[06:30] ---
    What is it, Dad?
    Did you know him?!
[06:33] ---
    Not just that;
[06:35] ---
    I was with him
    for three whole days!
[06:39] ---
    Three days?!
[06:40] ---
    You can't mean--
[06:41] ---
    That's right. He's the guy
    I followed around until yesterday...
[06:46] ---
    ...Negishi Masaki-san!
[06:54] ---
    Dad sure is taking a long time
    to give his statement.
[06:58] ---
    It's to be expected--
[07:00] ---
    he was with the
    guy up until yesterday.
[07:04] ---
    The police don't get
    many witnesses like him!
[07:08] ---
    What kind of case is it?
[07:10] ---
    Come on, old man!
    I can't wait to find out!
[07:17] ---
    Right. Got it.
[07:20] ---
    Half a billion yen?!
[07:22] ---
    Yes. The late Negishi-*san
    *had a life insurance policy
[07:26] ---
    worth half a billion yen.
[07:27] ---
    Doesn't it seem strange?!
[07:29] ---
    Why would he give
    all that insurance money
[07:32] ---
    to an ordinary friend like you,
    Abe Yutaka-san?!
[07:38] ---
    And you're the one
    who hired me to trail him!
[07:43] ---
    Why would he give you
    the insurance money?!
[07:46] ---
    It was a game.
[07:48] ---
    What?!
[07:50] ---
    We had been friends
    since college.
[07:54] ---
    When we went
    drinking one day, he--
[07:57] ---
    We're not young anymore...
[08:01] ---
    Wanna bet on who lives the longest?
[08:05] ---
    Sounds interesting!
[08:08] ---
    How does half a billion yen sound?
[08:13] ---
    ...and I accepted his invitation.
[08:16] ---
    So you both took out
    500-million yen policies.
[08:19] ---
    I had no idea the bet would
    last only three months...
[08:23] ---
    Then why did you
    have Mori-kun trail him?
[08:27] ---
    No big reason, really.
[08:30] ---
    He recently told me
[08:33] ---
    that he thought someone
    was out to kill him.
[08:37] ---
    Out to kill him?!
[08:39] ---
    I thought he was joking at first,
[08:42] ---
    but he wasn't acting quite normal,
[08:44] ---
    so I had Mori-*san
    *watch him for a few days.
[08:49] ---
    Isn't that right?
[08:52] ---
    Well, I have work to do.
[08:56] ---
    I run a small business,
    so I'm actually quite busy.
[09:02] ---
    Please find Negishi-san's
    killer as quickly as possible.
[09:07] ---
    I'll contact you the instant we do!
[09:11] ---
    I look forward to it, Detective.
[09:19] ---
    He's the only one
    I can see as the killer,
[09:23] ---
    but he has an alibi.
[09:25] ---
    An airtight one, at that.
[09:30] ---
    Something's fishy!
    He's definitely the killer!
[09:35] ---
    Half a million yen!
[09:36] ---
    Just to follow a guy for three days!
[09:39] ---
    That's way too much!
[09:41] ---
    And his confident attitude!
[09:44] ---
    I'm not too fond of that, either!
[09:46] ---
    Then why can't they arrest him?
[09:49] ---
    His alibi is perfect!
[09:51] ---
    And I was the one
    who verified it for him!
[09:59] ---
    The body was found on Sunday night,
    during the Fire Festival.
[10:04] ---
    I was on his tail the entire time
[10:07] ---
    until the night before.
[10:11] ---
    In other words,
    the crime took place
[10:14] ---
    between late Saturday
    night and Sunday evening,
[10:18] ---
    when the flame tower was lit.
[10:20] ---
    Then the person you suspect
    must've done it during then...
[10:25] ---
    Nope.
[10:26] ---
    He was on a company trip to Kyushu
[10:32] ---
    from Saturday morning
    until this afternoon!
[10:36] ---
    Then why are
    you so fixated on him?
[10:39] ---
    My detective's intuition...
[10:44] ---
    Oh...
[10:46] ---
    His alibi, huh?
[10:52] ---
    One Week Later
[10:55] ---
    Damn it!
[10:57] ---
    What's wrong, Dad?
[10:58] ---
    That damn Abe got
    Negishi-san's insurance money!
[11:03] ---
    He got the half-billion
    yen just like that!
[11:06] ---
    I'm going to destroy
    his alibi, no matter what!
[11:11] ---
    What are those?
[11:13] ---
    The schedule and
    pictures of his Kyushu trip.
[11:16] ---
    I asked Inspector Megure
    to let me borrow them.
[11:20] ---
    There has to be a clue
    in one of these photos.
[11:23] ---
    Just you watch!
    I, the great Mori Kogoro-sama,
[11:27] ---
    will expose his trick!
[11:30] ---
    Dad's on fire!
[11:33] ---
    Let's just hope
    he doesn't burn out.
[11:35] ---
    But Dad, couldn't he have come back
    on short notice on a domestic flight?
[11:41] ---
    Yes, it's very possible.
    But his alibi has no holes.
[11:45] ---
    Especially during the
    time the murder occurred.
[11:52] ---
    He played mahjong with his
    employees all Saturday night.
[11:55] ---
    Sunday afternoon,
    he toured the city on bus.
[11:58] ---
    He has pictures to prove it, too.
[12:01] ---
    These photos!
[12:03] ---
    The only time he was alone was when
    he took a two hour nap Sunday afternoon.
[12:09] ---
    It would be impossible to go to
    Gunma and back in that amount of time.
[12:17] ---
    What's so funny?
[12:18] ---
    These photos are weird!
[12:20] ---
    Weird?
[12:21] ---
    See, look!
[12:23] ---
    He's by a clock in every one!
[12:27] ---
    Now that you mention it...
[12:28] ---
    He must really like clocks!
[12:31] ---
    That's not normal.
[12:33] ---
    It's almost like he took
    these to prove his alibi.
[12:37] ---
    And the kid's right--
[12:40] ---
    Wait a minute.
[12:41] ---
    It seems like whenever
    I'm stuck on something,
[12:45] ---
    he'll say something
    that gives me a hint...
[12:53] ---
    What's in this envelope?
[12:55] ---
    Oh, those are--
[12:57] ---
    --from when I followed the guy--
[12:59] ---
    Uh oh! They're mixed up!
[13:01] ---
    who got killed!
[13:05] ---
    Dad!
[13:08] ---
    Are you alright, Conan-kun?
[13:10] ---
    Did he give you a boo-boo?
[13:13] ---
    Gimme a break.
[13:15] ---
    Guess he is just a stupid kid.
[13:22] ---
    Say, are you sure this
    is the guy who was killed?
[13:26] ---
    His body was all burned up...
[13:28] ---
    Yeah, it was definitely him.
[13:30] ---
    His driver's license
    was lying right next
[13:34] ---
    to the flame tower at the fire festival.
[13:38] ---
    The teeth even
    matched his dental records.
[13:43] ---
    That's strange.
[13:44] ---
    Criminals normally hide their crimes;
[13:48] ---
    it's far too intentional for the
    body to be hidden under the fire
[13:51] ---
    and an easily-understood
    clue to be lying nearby!
[13:57] ---
    Only one person stood to
    gain from the body's discovery:
[14:00] ---
    Abe, who would get
    the insurance money.
[14:03] ---
    The old man's right--
    he's the only possible person!
[14:07] ---
    But he has an airtight alibi!
[14:11] ---
    No, there has to be something
    that will destroy his story!
[14:22] ---
    T-This is it!
[14:29] ---
    This photograph!
[14:32] ---
    That's strange.
    The Negishi-san I saw...
[14:37] ---
    ...was right-handed!
[14:39] ---
    Could it be?!
[14:44] ---
    Conan-kun?
[14:49] ---
    Just as I thought!
[14:51] ---
    These are from
    Thursday and Friday.
[14:54] ---
    And these are from Saturday!
[14:57] ---
    The old man followed Negishi-san
[15:00] ---
    from Thursday to Saturday.
[15:02] ---
    His body was found on Sunday night,
[15:06] ---
    so the murder took place between
    Saturday night and Sunday evening.
[15:12] ---
    But Abe Yutaka was in Kyushu
[15:14] ---
    from Saturday morning
    until Monday afternoon.
[15:19] ---
    His alibi is flawless!
[15:21] ---
    But if my theory is correct,
    then it's actually--
[15:28] ---
    Mind your own business, twerp!
[15:32] ---
    Look away for a second
    and he causes trouble!
[15:35] ---
    Don't hit Conan-kun just
    because you can't solve the case!
[15:39] ---
    Abe Yutaka is
    clearly responsible for this!
[15:42] ---
    He even has a motive!
[15:44] ---
    Motive?
[15:45] ---
    His business was
    300 million yen in debt.
[15:49] ---
    He used the insurance
    money to pay it off
[15:54] ---
    and plans to escape
    overseas with the rest of it!
[15:58] ---
    Overseas?!
[16:00] ---
    He left someone in charge of the company,
    saying that he was going on a trip.
[16:04] ---
    And his plane
    leaves at 9:00 tonight!
[16:08] ---
    9:00?! That leaves
    us only three hours!
[16:12] ---
    We can't let him leave the country!
[16:15] ---
    My only chance now is to corner
    him and make him confess!
[16:20] ---
    There's no time! First, I need
    to get them to the airport!
[16:24] ---
    Alright! I'll use that method!
[16:28] ---
    Eh? You destroyed
    Abe's alibi, Inspector?!
[16:33] ---
    Yes. I'm on my way to the airport.
[16:37] ---
    I'd like you to come too!
[16:40] ---
    Excellent! I'll see you there!
[16:45] ---
    Alright, now to use
    the old man's voice...
[16:53] ---
    Hello, Inspector Megure!
    This is Mori Kogoro!
[16:58] ---
    New Tokyo International Airport
[17:01] ---
    Listen! Don't get in my way!
[17:04] ---
    We won't!
[17:05] ---
    You come every single time!
[17:10] ---
    It sure is crowded.
[17:12] ---
    Just finding the Inspector
    is going to be tough...
[17:15] ---
    Which flight is Abe's?
[17:17] ---
    I think it was--
[17:20] ---
    Oh no! They're about
    to start boarding!
[17:24] ---
    It's dangerous,
    but I'll have to lure him out!
[17:30] ---
    Paging Abe Yutaka-sama,
    bound for Seattle
[17:37] ---
    on Flight Number 99...
[17:39] ---
    ...Negishi Masaki-sama is waiting
    for you in the main parking lot.
[17:44] ---
    Again, Abe Yutaka-sama,
    bound for Seattle
[17:49] ---
    on Flight Number 99--
[17:51] ---
    What's going on, Dad?!
[17:54] ---
    Hey!
[17:57] ---
    Inspector Megure!
[17:58] ---
    Sorry I'm late!
[18:00] ---
    Never mind that! How did you
    destroy Abe's alibi?!
[18:07] ---
    You said you found out how.
[18:11] ---
    Huh? Where did Conan-kun go?
[18:18] ---
    That was clever of you, Mister.
[18:21] ---
    Who's there?!
[18:22] ---
    Negishi-san actually died
    Friday night, didn't he?
[18:27] ---
    That's right. The day before
    you left on your trip.
[18:32] ---
    Then you had Detective Mori follow a
    fake Negishi-san around the following day...
[18:37] ---
    Where are you?!
[18:39] ---
    ...to make us think
    he was alive until Saturday.
[18:43] ---
    You checked the date of the festival
    in advance, and just as you planned,
[18:47] ---
    his body was found
    on Sunday night.
[18:51] ---
    With his precise time
    of death indeterminable,
[18:54] ---
    Detective Mori's statement put it
[18:57] ---
    between Saturday night
    and Sunday evening.
[19:01] ---
    Damn you!
[19:02] ---
    Then you returned Monday afternoon,
    as if nothing had happened.
[19:07] ---
    Thus, your alibi was created.
[19:11] ---
    Well? Am I right?
[19:12] ---
    A kid?!
[19:14] ---
    I heard the policemen
    talking about the case
[19:18] ---
    and I tried applying
    my own kind of logic!
[19:22] ---
    Your mistake was the substitute
    you chose for Negishi-san!
[19:26] ---
    You might've fooled the detective,
[19:29] ---
    but there's no fooling the camera!
[19:31] ---
    Your actor was left-handed,
    unlike Negishi-san!
[19:36] ---
    Give yourself up. This place
    is crawling with police.
[19:46] ---
    Well done, my boy!
[19:50] ---
    I, Abe Yutaka, was indeed
    Negishi Masaki's killer.
[19:55] ---
    But I won't be turning myself in.
    I'm going to live it up overseas!
[20:00] ---
    Eh? But I'll tell everyone
    that you confessed.
[20:06] ---
    Nobody'll believe you, kid.
[20:10] ---
    But they might believe you!
[20:16] ---
    I, Abe Yutaka, was indeed
    Negishi Masaki's killer.
[20:21] ---
    You little brat!
[20:23] ---
    You have no idea what it's like
[20:25] ---
    to have your business
    on the verge of bankruptcy!
[20:32] ---
    He got what he deserved!
[20:34] ---
    He was stupid enough to take out
    such a huge insurance policy!
[20:40] ---
    He had no idea I'd kill him!
[20:52] ---
    And you were stupid
    enough to let me kill you, too.
[20:57] ---
    You're the stupid one!
[21:00] ---
    I was gonna let you off
    easy if you turned yourself in!
[21:04] ---
    But now you've gone too far!
[21:09] ---
    I'll smash in that
    rotten head of yours!
[21:33] ---
    What the heck?!
[21:34] ---
    I, Abe Yutaka, was indeed
    Negishi Masaki's killer.
[21:41] ---
    Who on earth did this?!
[23:22] ---
    He's one lousy bastard
    to use me like that!
[23:26] ---
    I'm glad they found
    the fake Negishi-san too!
[23:30] ---
    Yeah. Apparently Abe asked him
    to wander around all day
[23:34] ---
    for no specific reason.
[23:37] ---
    What bothers me is what
    Abe said afterwards...
[23:42] ---
    It was the kid! He did this!
[23:46] ---
    The only kid around then was--
[23:51] ---
    Oh yeah, right!
[23:56] ---
    It ain't easy being a kid.
[24:08] ---
    Then Ran is alone right now!
[24:10] ---
    Water?
[24:19] ---
    Ran!
[24:21] ---
    Looks like these might
    be random murders...
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    "The Wealthy Daughter
    Murder Case (Part 1)."
[24:46] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Power failure.
[24:51] ---
    Next episode is finally Part 1!
[24:53] ---
    Ran-chan's in danger again!
