    As times change, difficult
    cases increase in number!
[00:04] ---
    Today's case involves three siblings!
    Mysteries upon mysteries!
[00:08] ---
    He sees the
    single truth for what it is,
[00:10] ---
    and looks like a kid
    but has the mind of an adult!
[00:12] ---
    His name? Detective Conan!
[01:46] ---
    The Three Hotta Siblings Murder Case.
[01:55] ---
    Ugh! And I came all this way
    because he said it was a big incident...
[02:01] ---
    You should've just taken the case!
[02:03] ---
    Yeah, right! I'm not gonna search
    for some lousy missing iguana!
[02:08] ---
    Sounds perfect for you...
[02:16] ---
    What seems to be the matter?
[02:17] ---
    My car broke down on me.
    Could I ask for a lift to my villa up ahead?
[02:25] ---
    I'll compensate you, of course.
[02:28] ---
    I'd be glad to give you a lift!
[02:30] ---
    Thank you. My name is Hotta.
[02:34] ---
    It's nice to meet you!
[02:38] ---
    H-Hotta Industries!
[02:40] ---
    You run that huge corporation?!
[03:02] ---
    Hey, Yamauchi.
[03:03] ---
    S-Sir!
[03:07] ---
    What happened?!
[03:08] ---
    My car broke down.
    These folks gave me a ride.
[03:12] ---
    Is that so? I'm Yamauchi,
    the caretaker of this villa.
[03:18] ---
    Thank you for helping him.
[03:21] ---
    It's nothing! I'm sure
    he would've done the same!
[03:25] ---
    Are Koichi and
    the others already here?
[03:28] ---
    Yes. Everyone is worried
    because you're late.
[03:33] ---
    I wonder. I bet they hope
    I died in an accident...
[03:40] ---
    Say, Mori-san.
    Tonight is my birthday party.
[03:45] ---
    I'd like to invite you, as thanks...
[03:47] ---
    Oh, but...
[03:49] ---
    You don't mind, do you?
[03:51] ---
    Don't mind if I do!
[04:00] ---
    You didn't arrive on time,
    Father, so we were worried
[04:03] ---
    you had gotten in an
    accident along the way.
[04:07] ---
    Yes! Hotta Industries is
    nothing without you, Father!
[04:11] ---
    For sure! The company needs you
    to stay well for a long time to come!
[04:19] ---
    Chateau Petrus, 1979.
    From Koichi-sama.
[04:27] ---
    Hey. Is that expensive wine?
[04:29] ---
    Yes. Eye-poppingly expensive.
[04:34] ---
    It's the king of red wine!
[04:49] ---
    Now then, let us toast
    to Father's 58th birthday.
[04:53] ---
    Hold it!
[04:57] ---
    Why don't you drink first, big brother?
[05:00] ---
    What is that supposed to mean?!
[05:02] ---
    Just figured it wouldn't be
    funny if there was poison in it...
[05:07] ---
    How rude, Ryoji-san!
[05:09] ---
    I've heard the rumors.
[05:12] ---
    The overseas branch has taken
    big hits because of your poor forecasts.
[05:17] ---
    And I hear you're going to be
    dismissed and sent to a subsidiary.
[05:24] ---
    You're suggesting I'm
    planning to kill Father over that?!
[05:26] ---
    I hear you've racked up some
    heavy-duty gambling debts lately!
[05:31] ---
    M-Mind your own business!
[05:35] ---
    Enough!
[05:38] ---
    My dinner...
[05:40] ---
    I've had just about enough of this!
[05:44] ---
    I see my brothers are as close as ever.
[05:48] ---
    Sis!
[05:48] ---
    Eldest Daughter- Hotta Fumiko (30)
[05:49] ---
    Fumiko!
[05:52] ---
    Why are you here?
[05:54] ---
    What a harsh hello,
    after sending an invitation yourself.
[05:59] ---
    We severed all ties five years ago!
    I'd never send you an invitation!
[06:04] ---
    I don't want to see your face! Get out!
[06:07] ---
    You're the one who called
    me here to tell me something!
[06:10] ---
    I have nothing to say to you!
[06:16] ---
    Tonight was supposed
    to be a feast, too...
[06:19] ---
    Oh, Dad.
[06:21] ---
    Say, what happened between
    Hotta-san and Fumiko-san?
[06:25] ---
    Good question. I've only been
    their caretaker for two years,
[06:30] ---
    so I don't know
    what happened long ago.
[06:43] ---
    Whiskey, huh?
    Whose present is this?
[06:51] ---
    W-W-What the--
[06:58] ---
    S-Sir!
[07:01] ---
    A bomb...
[07:04] ---
    W-What the--
[07:05] ---
    Call the police!
[07:06] ---
    R-Right!
[07:10] ---
    Looks like I can assume
    a bomb was planted in here.
[07:15] ---
    That's absurd!
[07:16] ---
    Stay out! Please wait outside
    until the police arrive!
[07:21] ---
    And just who are you?!
[07:25] ---
    The world's greatest detective,
    Mori Kogoro!
[07:30] ---
    Mori Kogoro?!
[07:32] ---
    The famous detective?!
[07:39] ---
    This was dynamite...
[07:42] ---
    Doesn't smell like dynamite to me.
[07:45] ---
    Trying to butt in again, huh?!
[07:49] ---
    He has wood and glass fragments in him!
[07:51] ---
    Stupid kid! Oww!
[07:54] ---
    This is a whiskey display box!
[07:57] ---
    Ah! The glass stuck
    in him is from a bottle!
[08:02] ---
    What's that?
[08:03] ---
    The bomb was inside the whiskey box!
[08:06] ---
    That's why there are
    fragments all over Hotta-san's body!
[08:10] ---
    I see--
[08:11] ---
    I don't need you to tell me!
    I realized that long before you!
[08:19] ---
    Yeesh...
[08:22] ---
    Dirt? What's it doing in here?
[08:26] ---
    Dad!
[08:28] ---
    Where's Yamauchi-san?
[08:30] ---
    He says the phone is out...
[08:33] ---
    Say what?!
[08:37] ---
    If anyone here holds a grudge
    against Father... it's you, Fumiko!
[08:43] ---
    Yeah! You hadn't spoken in five years!
[08:46] ---
    Suddenly showing up now without
    an invitation is undeniably strange!
[08:53] ---
    Yes. I did hate him.
    Enough to want to kill him!
[09:00] ---
    But I didn't do it.
    Though I do thank whoever did.
[09:07] ---
    I assume you all feel the same.
[09:10] ---
    What horrible siblings...
[09:14] ---
    How are the phone lines?!
[09:16] ---
    They've been cut
    by a knife or something...
[09:19] ---
    A knife?!
[09:21] ---
    What should we do, Mori-san?
[09:25] ---
    What's this?
[09:26] ---
    The bomb was planted
    inside a whiskey box.
[09:29] ---
    Eh? T-This display box was--
[09:33] ---
    You recognize it?!
[09:35] ---
    Well...
[09:36] ---
    Out with it!
[09:38] ---
    I believe it was a present
    Ryoji-sama gave to him...
[09:42] ---
    I remember because
    I took it to his room.
[09:47] ---
    R- Ryoji did it?!
[09:49] ---
    Say, where is Ryoji-san?!
[09:58] ---
    He ran off...
[09:59] ---
    That can't be!
[10:05] ---
    A knife!
[10:09] ---
    This is Ryoji-sama's car.
[10:13] ---
    He hasn't gotten far,
    if he left his car behind...
[10:16] ---
    Eh? Does that mean
    he's still lurking about?!
[10:23] ---
    What's this?! It's been slashed!
[10:27] ---
    Mori-san. What do we do now?
[10:29] ---
    It's probably best
    to leave in our cars.
[10:32] ---
    Not an option.
[10:34] ---
    What?!
[10:35] ---
    All four of these
    cars have slashed tires.
[10:39] ---
    What?! Does that mean
    we can't leave this villa?!
[10:43] ---
    Ryoji did this. There's
    rubber stuck on his knife!
[10:49] ---
    How did you get here?
[10:51] ---
    We can't drive, so we took a limo...
[10:55] ---
    Are there any other cars?
[10:56] ---
    There's my car. But it's broken
    and hardly in a usable state...
[11:02] ---
    Say, if Ryoji-san is the killer,
    why would he slash his own tires?
[11:08] ---
    Isn't it obvious? If his tires
    were the only ones not slashed,
[11:12] ---
    the police would suspect
    him right off the bat.
[11:17] ---
    That's strange. He would still
    be suspected right off the bat
[11:22] ---
    if his whiskey exploded
    and he disappeared right after!
[11:27] ---
    Ryoji-san didn't do this.
[11:29] ---
    But if the killer's goal was actually
    to trap everyone inside this villa...
[11:34] ---
    ...something else might happen!
[11:36] ---
    In any event, Ryoji-*san
    *is still lurking around here.
[11:40] ---
    Make sure to stay
    together and not go off alone!
[11:43] ---
    Screw that! I'm going back to my room!
[11:48] ---
    Geez, right after I warn her...
[11:51] ---
    Let us all go back inside.
[11:53] ---
    Right...
[11:55] ---
    Mori-san. I'll try to fix my car...
[11:59] ---
    Be extremely careful.
[12:01] ---
    Hey, kid! Let's go!
[12:04] ---
    Okay!
[12:10] ---
    Fumiko-san's pendant...
[12:20] ---
    Fumiko-san.
[12:21] ---
    Quiet! I'm busy right now!
[12:24] ---
    Are you looking for this?
[12:26] ---
    Eh?
[12:29] ---
    Give that back!
[12:40] ---
    Thanks, little boy. This is
    the most important thing to me.
[12:45] ---
    Is that your lover?
[12:48] ---
    He died, five years ago. Suicide--
    no, it was more like murder.
[12:56] ---
    By Hotta Kosaku, my father!
[13:01] ---
    That's why I left.
    I couldn't forgive my father...
[13:06] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry. I guess there's
    no point in telling this to a little kid...
[13:19] ---
    Fumiko-san held a
    grudge against Hotta-san.
[13:21] ---
    But did she have a chance to
    plant the bomb in the whiskey box?
[13:31] ---
    What's this?!
[13:32] ---
    Chemical Fertilizer
[13:33] ---
    Chemical fertilizer!
    Could that bomb have been...
[13:42] ---
    Just as I thought!
[13:43] ---
    Sulfur
[13:43] ---
    Sulfur and chemicals!
    And that chemical fertilizer!
[13:48] ---
    No doubt about it!
    That person is the killer!
[13:56] ---
    This person is--!
[13:57] ---
    
[14:05] ---
    Is it fixed?
[14:07] ---
    Eh? Oh, Conan-kun...
[14:10] ---
    That car sure is old!
[14:13] ---
    It's the first one I ever designed.
[14:15] ---
    You were a car designer?
[14:18] ---
    Yes, until five years ago.
[14:21] ---
    I quit after something happened...
[14:23] ---
    I've never seen
    a car like this before!
[14:28] ---
    Huh? It's an old-style car,
    but it has an airbag...
[14:33] ---
    Uhh, Conan-kun,
    could you go get Fumiko-san?
[14:36] ---
    What for?
[14:38] ---
    To get the police. Everyone feels
    uneasy with just Mori-san, right?
[14:44] ---
    What about you?
[14:46] ---
    I'm the caretaker. I have
    a responsibility to stay here.
[14:50] ---
    Okay!
[14:55] ---
    Ah, time for food!
[14:59] ---
    Where's Conan-kun?
[15:01] ---
    Probably off playing somewhere.
[15:03] ---
    What a lost cause. I'll go find him.
[15:08] ---
    My food...
[15:13] ---
    There's no need to be shocked.
    This photograph was in your room.
[15:19] ---
    You went into my
    room without permission?!
[15:22] ---
    I found something
    interesting in there...
[15:26] ---
    Sulfur and other chemicals,
    hidden inside a cabinet.
[15:31] ---
    The explosive wasn't dynamite.
    It was a homemade bomb
[15:36] ---
    made of chemical fertilizer,
    sulfur, and other chemicals!
[15:40] ---
    You can make a bomb out of that?!
[15:42] ---
    Indeed, you can.
[15:44] ---
    If mixed properly, it can produce
    an explosive as powerful as dynamite.
[15:51] ---
    Ridiculous! Why would I want
    to kill the master of the house?!
[15:56] ---
    This incident was entirely to
    avenge the person in that photograph.
[16:02] ---
    Hotta-san drove him
    to suicide five years ago.
[16:07] ---
    Eh?
[16:08] ---
    And he was your son,
    Yamauchi-san.
[16:12] ---
    Eh?!
[16:12] ---
    Eh?!
[16:14] ---
    You were the one who
    took Ryoji-san's whiskey
[16:17] ---
    and delivered it
    to Hotta-san's room.
[16:20] ---
    That's when you placed the
    homemade explosive inside the box,
[16:28] ---
    an igniter under the lid,
[16:30] ---
    and easily-ignited
    phosphorous in the bomb.
[16:34] ---
    It was basically like striking a match.
[16:39] ---
    But it wasn't meant
    to be a perfect crime.
[16:43] ---
    Because you needed to
    distance yourself from suspicion
[16:47] ---
    until your next crime.
[16:49] ---
    His next crime?
[16:53] ---
    Fumiko-san?
[16:59] ---
    Well done, Mori-san.
    It is just as you say.
[17:06] ---
    My son Kentaro was an extraordinary
    pianist with a bright future.
[17:12] ---
    He had dated a girl for a long time,
    but because of his paltry income,
[17:16] ---
    he was unable to propose to her.
[17:20] ---
    But five years ago, he won a
    competition and finally earned appraisal.
[17:27] ---
    And then Kentaro
    proposed to her. But...
[17:33] ---
    ...the woman's father--
    Hotta-san-- was against it.
[17:39] ---
    S-So that woman was Fumiko-san?!
[17:43] ---
    Kentaro met with Hotta to
    get permission to marry her.
[17:47] ---
    But Hotta not only refused,
    but he ruined Kentaro's fingers as well!
[17:56] ---
    The piano was Kentaro's life!
    And he had it stolen away forever!
[18:01] ---
    What's more, the woman ran off,
    leaving him behind devastated!
[18:06] ---
    So the poor boy...
[18:21] ---
    Upon learning all of this after his funeral,
    I was shocked to realize
[18:27] ---
    that as a company man,
    I had known nothing about my own son...
[18:33] ---
    And that's why you
    decided to get revenge...
[18:37] ---
    Yes. After quitting the company,
    I investigated Hotta
[18:42] ---
    and became his caretaker to
    find a chance to exact revenge.
[18:47] ---
    But Fumiko had left the family,
    and it took me two years to locate her.
[18:54] ---
    Then you chose Hotta-san's
    birthday party as the stage for revenge
[18:59] ---
    and sent Fumiko-san an invitation.
[19:02] ---
    Yes. Now I will have no regrets in life.
[19:08] ---
    But Fumiko-san is safe
    and sound in the car--
[19:12] ---
    The moment I got her to step
    into that car, my revenge succeeded.
[19:18] ---
    There's a trap in the car, you see.
[19:22] ---
    The airbag is set to go off
    when she steps hard on the brakes.
[19:34] ---
    As we speak, she's probably...
[19:36] ---
    You really don't know anything, do you?
[19:39] ---
    Eh?
[19:40] ---
    Why do you think Fumiko-*san
    *is still single, after all this time?
[19:44] ---
    Because even now,
    she continues to love Kentaro-san!
[19:49] ---
    Absurd! A rude woman disowned
    by her father would never do that!
[19:54] ---
    She wasn't disowned!
    She left on her own!
[19:59] ---
    She couldn't forgive her father
    for what he did to Kentaro-san!
[20:03] ---
    That's a lie! It's nonsense!
[20:07] ---
    She abandoned Kentaro!
[20:12] ---
    What's this?
[20:16] ---
    That's Fumiko-san's treasure.
[20:20] ---
    A treasure chest filled with
    her memories with Kentaro-san,
[20:24] ---
    and her feelings for him.
[20:27] ---
    Fumiko-san always
    wears it at all times.
[20:31] ---
    Even now, Kentaro-san is the
    dearest person to her, Yamauchi-san!
[20:39] ---
    W-What have I done?!
[20:44] ---
    I've killed the person
    who loved my son that much!
[20:58] ---
    Fumiko-san! Didn't the airbag deploy?!
[21:01] ---
    No. Mori-san had Conan-*kun
    *tell me to come back right away...
[21:10] ---
    Fumiko-san... I'm...
[21:14] ---
    I hated my father, too.
    Enough to want to kill him.
[21:19] ---
    But I can't forgive
    Kentaro-san, either.
[21:28] ---
    He left me all alone...
    And drove his own father to do this...
[21:36] ---
    He really is sinful...
[23:26] ---
    Ryoji-san had been
    locked up in the basement.
[23:33] ---
    Oww!
[23:35] ---
    Huh?
[23:36] ---
    Huh?! Where did everyone go?!
[23:40] ---
    Man, I'm hungry. Oh, that's right!
    We're about to have breakfast!
[23:46] ---
    Yamauchi-san! Breakfast, please!
[23:51] ---
    I'm so hungry I could die!
    Anything'll do, just please hurry!
[23:56] ---
    Yamauchi-san!
[24:06] ---
    Dad!
[24:07] ---
    
[24:11] ---
    It's strange!
    Something isn't right!
[24:14] ---
    That's weird.
[24:15] ---
    Eh?
[24:16] ---
    You're supposed to wash makeup
    off before applying a face pack!
[24:21] ---
    T-That's it! That person
    really is the killer!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    "The Face Pack Murder Case."
[24:46] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Lipstick.
[24:51] ---
    Next episode's case is really unique.
[24:53] ---
    Do you think I'm pretty?
[24:55] ---
