**[00:01] ---**
As times change, difficult
cases increase in number!
**[00:05] ---**
Today's stage is a karaoke box!
**[00:07] ---**
Love and farewell
songs during Christmas!
**[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 Karaoke Box Murder Case.
**[01:53] ---**
Why am I stuck with
you guys during Christmas?
**[01:58] ---**
That's my line.
**[02:00] ---**
Say, what's up with Shinichi-*kun*?
**[02:03] ---**
He only calls once in a while.
**[02:05] ---**
What's his problem?!
Christmas only comes once a year!
**[02:09] ---**
He's such a conceited mystery geek!
**[02:12] ---**
That he is.
**[02:14] ---**
He's always arrogant,
snobbish, and mean...
**[02:19] ---**
But maybe that's
what I like about him!
**[02:23] ---**
Ran!
**[02:25] ---**
What about you?
Are you seeing anyone?
**[02:28] ---**
Of course I am. Kimura Tatsuya.
**[02:31] ---**
Tatsuya?
**[02:33] ---**
You know, the guy
from Lex, that rock band!
**[02:39] ---**
Oh, just some entertainer...
**[02:42] ---**
Dad got me invited
to one of their parties!
**[02:47] ---**
I get to see Tatsuya in the flesh!
**[02:50] ---**
Wanna come?
**[02:51] ---**
You're going to meet him?!
**[02:53] ---**
Her family sure is connected.
**[02:56] ---**
When is it?!
**[02:57] ---**
Next Sunday!
**[02:59] ---**
Count me in!

Kimura Tatsuya (21) Vocals
**[03:14] ---**
That's for sure.
**[03:16] ---**
Much better than some bands out there.
**[03:20] ---**
Tatsuya! You've had too much!
**[03:22] ---**
You know you have
a talk show after this!
**[03:26] ---**
Shove it, Ugly!
**[03:28] ---**
Ugly?
**[03:29] ---**
He's really drunk!
**[03:32] ---**
Yamada Katsumi (21) Drums
**[03:32] ---**
That's no way to talk to her.
**[03:35] ---**
Yamada Katsumi (21) Drums
**[03:35] ---**
She's simply doing her job as manager.
**[03:39] ---**
Have you been doing
your job as our drummer?
**[03:45] ---**
And you, Mieko.
**[03:47] ---**
Shibazaki Mieko (20) Guitar
**[03:48] ---**
What was with you today?!
**[03:50] ---**
I'm sick of your sucky playing!
**[03:53] ---**
Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[03:54] ---**
Been waiting for you, Sumii-*san*.
**[03:57] ---**
I had my manager reserve this for us.
**[04:00] ---**
Sumii Goh (28) Karaoke Box Manager
**[04:00] ---**
Thanks! I always
appreciate your business!
**[04:04] ---**
Sure is sad that a former band leader
**[04:07] ---**
is stuck running a joint like this...
**[04:10] ---**
Don't make me take this back.
**[04:11] ---**
Former band leader?
**[04:14] ---**
Huh? That's--
**[04:16] ---**
Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
**[04:18] ---**
I requested it.
**[04:21] ---**
For our manager.

Terahara Mari (23) Manager
**[04:25] ---**
It's perfect for you--
you did believe in Santa

until middle school.
**[04:31] ---**
Wouldn't you agree,
Ms. Snooty Manager?
**[04:36] ---**
Jerk...
**[04:38] ---**
Fine. I'll sing your song.

To her and the band.
**[05:28] ---**
Are you quitting Lex?!
**[05:30] ---**
Yeah. I'm leaving
when this tour's over.
**[05:35] ---**
Everyone in the band knows.
**[05:38] ---**
It's good riddance to
these crappy bandmates!
**[05:47] ---**
That's terrible...
**[05:52] ---**
Hey, that's my song!
Who requested it?
**[05:58] ---**
Tatsuya, it's time to go!
**[06:00] ---**
We're going to miss the talk show!
**[06:02] ---**
Shut up! I'll sing whenever I want to!
**[06:06] ---**
Fine. I'll tell the
studio we'll be late.

**[06:27] ---**
would never be heard again.

Except for his killer, that is.
**[06:40] ---**
That was awesome!
**[06:43] ---**
How was my song?
**[06:45] ---**
It was great!
**[06:45] ---**
It was great!
**[06:46] ---**
Hey, Katsumi.
**[06:49] ---**
Gimme one of them rice balls.
**[06:53] ---**
Think fast.
**[06:55] ---**
Thank you.
**[06:57] ---**
Are you really quitting Lex?
**[07:02] ---**
Don't worry, I'm just going solo.
**[07:05] ---**
Solo?
**[07:07] ---**
My new song's already done.
**[07:10] ---**
His new song's--
**[07:11] ---**
Done?
**[07:13] ---**
What's it called?
**[07:15] ---**
Its title? It's called--
**[07:22] ---**
What's wrong?!
**[07:26] ---**
Tatsuya!
**[07:33] ---**
Get an ambulance!
**[07:35] ---**
Right!
**[07:41] ---**
Too late! He's dead!
**[07:44] ---**
That smells like cyanide!
**[07:48] ---**
Somebody planned this!
**[07:50] ---**
But I was watching the whole time!
**[07:55] ---**
The first suspect was Sumii,
the guy who brought the food.
**[07:59] ---**
He and Kimura Tatsuya
used to be bandmates.
**[08:03] ---**
But then Tatsuya went
pro and became popular.
**[08:07] ---**
It looked like a jealousy murder.
**[08:10] ---**
But he was cleared of
suspicion when we learned
**[08:14] ---**
that everyone had eaten the food.
**[08:16] ---**
Toxins were found on the
victim's clothes and microphone,
**[08:22] ---**
so he had touched the poison
before eating the rice ball.
**[08:27] ---**
Which means the killer
placed poison on the microphone
**[08:30] ---**
which indirectly adhered
to him when he grabbed it.
**[08:36] ---**
That means it was done by
the person who sang before him...
**[08:40] ---**
...you, Shibazaki Mieko-*san*!
**[08:43] ---**
I hear you sang a
farewell song while crying.
**[08:49] ---**
Did something
happen between you two?
**[08:54] ---**
Tatsuya didn't dump me!
He turned me down!
**[09:00] ---**
Mieko...
**[09:01] ---**
When I told him how I felt...
**[09:04] ---**
Sorry, Mieko.
I already like someone.
**[09:09] ---**
She's gone right now,
**[09:11] ---**
but I'm waiting for her to come back.
**[09:19] ---**
He said it couldn't
work out between us!
**[09:23] ---**
Then to pay him back, you--
**[09:26] ---**
No! I didn't kill him!
**[09:29] ---**
Already likes someone?
**[09:30] ---**
Inspector. Tatsuya requested
the song that she sang!
**[09:35] ---**
She had no idea that
he would be singing next!
**[09:39] ---**
She couldn't have
poisoned the microphone!
**[09:43] ---**
That is true...
**[09:45] ---**
Say, who requested
his Bloody Venus song?
**[09:57] ---**
Did he always take
his jacket off when he sang?
**[10:02] ---**
Only at the start of every
Bloody Venus.
**[10:05] ---**
Could it be?!
**[10:07] ---**
Inspector! What part of his
clothing had cyanide on it?!
**[10:12] ---**
His left elbow area, I believe...
**[10:16] ---**
On his staff jacket?!
**[10:18] ---**
No, there was nothing on his jacket.
**[10:22] ---**
That's it! Now I understand
**[10:25] ---**
how the killer poisoned Kimura Tatsuya!
**[10:29] ---**
And that killer is one of those three
**[10:32] ---**
who have the same jacket on!
**[10:41] ---**
Hey, guitar lady.
**[10:44] ---**
The manager and Tatsuya-*san
*were arguing earlier;
**[10:47] ---**
were they always like that?
**[10:50] ---**
Yeah. They argued
about everything.
**[10:54] ---**
Tatsuya always started it, though.
**[10:57] ---**
She's not as bad as he claimed.
**[11:00] ---**
She's smart, serious, and beautiful--
**[11:04] ---**
but she never caused any trouble.
**[11:07] ---**
Inspector Megure!
**[11:08] ---**
What is it?
**[11:09] ---**
We found this in his office locker.
**[11:13] ---**
I don't see anything useful here...
**[11:19] ---**
It's a band picture...
**[11:21] ---**
That sure takes me back.
**[11:24] ---**
That's from when he and I had a band
**[11:27] ---**
before he went pro.
**[11:30] ---**
But only he and these two are still
**[11:33] ---**
in the music industry.
**[11:36] ---**
He wasn't the only one who left your band?
**[11:40] ---**
Tatsuya hated that person over there.
**[11:43] ---**
Said they were the
reason he wanted to quit...
**[11:48] ---**
But they're not in that picture...
**[11:51] ---**
She's right here.
**[11:53] ---**
She's really changed, though.
**[11:56] ---**
Could it be?
**[11:58] ---**
Too much, if you ask me...
**[12:01] ---**
There's writing on the back!
**[12:03] ---**
Lemme see it again!
**[12:06] ---**
I see!
**[12:09] ---**
But what a sad incident
this is if it's true...
**[12:20] ---**
You know who did it? How?!
**[12:25] ---**
Uh-huh. Okay. Got it!
**[12:29] ---**
Cancel the investigation!
Get everyone back there!
**[12:33] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[12:33] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[12:35] ---**
Did something happen?
**[12:37] ---**
He's back.
**[12:39] ---**
He?
**[12:40] ---**
A detective you know very well.
**[12:44] ---**
Kudo Shinichi.
**[12:46] ---**
Eh?!
**[12:46] ---**
Eh?!
**[12:50] ---**
Shinichi finally came back!
**[12:55] ---**
Shinichi!
**[13:01] ---**
Welcome! Thank you all for coming!
**[13:05] ---**
Shinichi?
**[13:07] ---**
He must be watching with this camera!
**[13:11] ---**
Move, Sonoko!
**[13:13] ---**
Where are you, Shinichi?!
**[13:15] ---**
Let's begin unraveling this case.
**[13:19] ---**
Shinichi!
**[13:20] ---**
What's with this song?
**[13:23] ---**
It's Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
**[13:26] ---**
They play it everywhere
around Christmas time.
**[13:29] ---**
It also stirs up the
killer's hatred for the victim.
**[13:34] ---**
In other words, the person
who had Tatsuya-*san*
**[13:37] ---**
sing this song.
**[13:39] ---**
Yes. Tatsuya-*san*'s killer
**[13:42] ---**
was his manager,
Terahara Mari-*san*!
**[13:47] ---**
She killed him?!
**[13:49] ---**
No way...
**[13:53] ---**
Stop kidding around!
**[13:54] ---**
I wasn't even in
the room when he died.
**[13:59] ---**
You could've poisoned him
despite your distance,
**[14:03] ---**
simply by having
him sing this song.
**[14:07] ---**
This was his hit song,
"Bloody Venus"!
**[14:14] ---**
Could you sing for us,
using the mic I've prepared?
**[14:18] ---**
There's no poison on it, of course.
**[14:23] ---**
Fine. If that'll make you happy.
**[14:30] ---**
Wait! Why aren't you
removing your jacket?
**[14:34] ---**
He always took his jacket off
when he sang this song.
**[14:40] ---**
Isn't that right, everyone?
**[14:41] ---**
Yeah...
**[14:42] ---**
From the top...
**[14:49] ---**
Oh, yes.
**[14:50] ---**
Don't forget the dance.
**[14:56] ---**
♪ She's one hot babe! ♪
**[15:00] ---**
♪ I'm talkin' about you! ♪
**[15:05] ---**
Wow! She's good!
**[15:06] ---**
Of course she is.
**[15:09] ---**
She used to sing with
Tatsuya in my band.
**[15:15] ---**
♪ My love for you... ♪
**[15:19] ---**
She did?
**[15:21] ---**
♪ I love ya! ♪
**[15:28] ---**
Satisfied?
**[15:30] ---**
Yes.
**[15:32] ---**
Now try eating
the food I've prepared.
**[15:36] ---**
You mean this?
**[15:36] ---**
Just as Tatsuya-*san* did.
**[15:40] ---**
Pick whatever you'd like.
**[15:42] ---**
Assuming you can, that is.
**[15:46] ---**
I'd rather not. I touched him
after he collapsed!
**[15:53] ---**
His hands and clothes
had poison on them!
**[15:56] ---**
I could've gotten
some on my hands too!
**[15:59] ---**
Then please check
her jacket, Inspector.
**[16:05] ---**
Her jacket?
**[16:08] ---**
Same goes for the jacket!
I put it on after touching Tatsuya!
**[16:12] ---**
If there is poison on it,
that doesn't mean--
**[16:15] ---**
No. It's not poison
I'm looking for.
**[16:23] ---**
A lighter!
**[16:25] ---**
Yes.
**[16:28] ---**
That's his missing lighter.
**[16:31] ---**
In other words,
that's not her jacket--
**[16:34] ---**
she switched hers with Tatsuya-*san*'s
to dispose of the evidence!
**[16:41] ---**
She wiped poison on the
inside of the left elbow
**[16:44] ---**
so that some of it would
get on his shirt underneath
**[16:50] ---**
when he put the jacket on.
**[16:54] ---**
All that remained was
to have him sing Bloody Venus.
**[16:58] ---**
During his dance,
he throws the jacket off
**[17:03] ---**
and touches his hands to his elbows.
**[17:06] ---**
Then he dies of poisoning
when he eats afterward.
**[17:12] ---**
But why would she do that?
**[17:15] ---**
Her motive is in the
photograph on the table.
**[17:19] ---**
It's from when he was
in Sumii-*san*'s band.
**[17:25] ---**
What about it?
**[17:27] ---**
There's no one else in the picture...
**[17:30] ---**
She is there, Inspector.
**[17:34] ---**
In the center of the picture,
with Tatsuya-*san*.
**[17:37] ---**
Can this be?!
**[17:39] ---**
That's right. That picture
of her is the very motive
**[17:42] ---**
behind this murder!
**[17:44] ---**
Don't tell me you--
**[17:46] ---**
That's right!
I had plastic surgery!
**[17:48] ---**
For Tatsuya!
**[17:52] ---**
I fell in love with him back then...
**[17:57] ---**
So when he went pro--
**[18:00] ---**
Come with me, Mari!
You can be my manager!
**[18:04] ---**
I was so happy when he said that.
**[18:08] ---**
I thought he felt
the same way about me...
**[18:10] ---**
So I got the surgery
to be worthy of him...
**[18:15] ---**
His attitude suddenly
changed after I got it.
**[18:19] ---**
He would constantly call me ugly.
**[18:21] ---**
He even had me sing
the Rudolph song earlier!
**[18:25] ---**
That's why he requested
the song for you?
**[18:29] ---**
He made me his manager
just to insult me!
**[18:33] ---**
So he had to pay.
**[18:35] ---**
He had to pay...
**[18:37] ---**
...because I loved him!
**[18:40] ---**
You're wrong, Mari-*san*.
**[18:42] ---**
Tatsuya-*san* had been in love
with you for quite some time.
**[18:46] ---**
Yeah, right! What would you know?!
**[18:49] ---**
Mari! He's telling the truth.
**[18:52] ---**
Inspector. Can I have that?
**[18:56] ---**
This is a love song he wrote about you.
**[19:00] ---**
I Want to Tell the Real You
**[19:05] ---**
This is fake!
**[19:06] ---**
Nope.
**[19:08] ---**
Those were the
lyrics to his newest song.
**[19:11] ---**
He always talked about you, you know.
**[19:14] ---**
Why's Mari so self-conscious?
**[19:17] ---**
Why'd she change her face for me?!
**[19:20] ---**
But he always treated me like--
**[19:24] ---**
He wasn't good at expressing himself...
**[19:27] ---**
I guess he wanted the old you back.
**[19:32] ---**
What have I done?!
**[19:39] ---**
Now I see...
**[19:41] ---**
I'm waiting for her to come back.
**[19:46] ---**
Sorry, Mieko. I already like someone.
**[19:52] ---**
The person he liked was the manager...
**[19:56] ---**
Tatsuya! Tatsuya!
**[20:00] ---**
Tatsuya!
**[20:10] ---**
The combination of a man
unable to express his feelings
**[20:13] ---**
and a woman who hid hers
brought forth a sad ending...
**[20:20] ---**
...in her weeping and tears.
**[20:23] ---**
Only her photograph sadly smiled.
**[22:04] ---**
That's what you get for
saying Kudo Shinichi's name...
**[22:09] ---**
She's been waiting there three hours
**[22:11] ---**
for you to come home.
**[22:13] ---**
I wish I could help,
but there's nothing I can do...
**[22:22] ---**
Ran...
**[22:30] ---**
Shinichi? Are you in here?
**[22:33] ---**
Shinichi? Shinichi!
**[22:36] ---**
Where are you?
Say something if you're there!
**[22:41] ---**
The lights...
**[22:43] ---**
Shinichi!
**[22:45] ---**
Shinichi?
**[22:51] ---**
Shinichi?
**[22:53] ---**
Yeah, it's me.
**[22:56] ---**
I'm finally back.
**[22:58] ---**
Shinichi...
**[22:59] ---**
Geez, stop cryin'!
**[23:03] ---**
Did you wanna see me that badly?
**[23:05] ---**
As if!
**[23:07] ---**
I'm glad to see you, Ran.
**[23:13] ---**
Shinichi...
**[23:14] ---**
Wish you could see
yourself right now.
**[23:16] ---**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[23:19] ---**
Well, gotta get goin'.
**[23:22] ---**
Still haven't finished that
case. Later, Ran!
**[23:26] ---**
Wait, Shinichi--
**[23:29] ---**
Shinichi!
**[23:34] ---**
"Your Christmas present. Hope you like it!
--Shinichi."
**[23:43] ---**
Now stop worrying about me, Ran.
**[24:02] ---**
She's here, Conan-*kun*!
**[24:04] ---**
...your mom!
