    As times change, difficult
    cases increase in number!
[00:04] ---
    Today's case is about a face pack!
    Can makeup hide the evidence?!
[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!
[00:13] ---
    His name? Detective Conan!
[01:47] ---
    The Face Pack Murder Case.
[01:58] ---
    Kojima-san! It's Beika Security!
[02:00] ---
    Is something wrong, Kojima-san?!
[02:02] ---
    Let's go!
[02:03] ---
    Right!
[02:11] ---
    Kojima-san!
    We're opening the door!
[02:13] ---
    Do it!
[02:14] ---
    Right!
[02:17] ---
    Huh?
[02:21] ---
    I'm sorry! Did I scare you?
[02:23] ---
    No, no...
[02:24] ---
    I was putting my face pack on,
    so I couldn't answer right away.
[02:28] ---
    Your security alarm went off...
    did something happen?
[02:31] ---
    No, nothing at all.
[02:34] ---
    Must've been a glitch...
[02:36] ---
    Chiba-san...
[02:41] ---
    Looks like he's the culprit.
[02:43] ---
    He must've crossed
    the infrared sensors.
[02:46] ---
    They're so sensitive that this
    happens once in a while.
[02:49] ---
    Oh?
[02:50] ---
    Well, please be sure to lock up!
[02:53] ---
    Thanks for your help.
[03:09] ---
    Boy, am I full!
[03:11] ---
    China has nothing on this place's
    Chinese cuisine! Don't you think?!
[03:18] ---
    Actually, ramen's pretty
    much the same anywhere...
[03:21] ---
    Oh, it's already this late?
[03:24] ---
    Not good! Yoko-chan's
    drama show is on tonight!
[03:27] ---
    Yoko-chan! I'm coming home now!
[03:30] ---
    Wait, Dad!
[03:36] ---
    Dad!
[03:38] ---
    A-Are you all right?!
[03:40] ---
    Idiot! Watch where you're going!
[03:41] ---
    Securities Employee Izumi Takeo (25)
[03:41] ---
    S-Sorry! I, uh...
[03:44] ---
    Watch where you're driving, will you?!
[03:47] ---
    Isn't it also your fault for crossing
    the street without paying attention?
[03:50] ---
    Yeah!
[03:51] ---
    What's your guys' deal?
[03:55] ---
    Hello?
[03:56] ---
    Yes. Megure-san?
[03:59] ---
    Eh?! Police Investigation Section ♪1?!
[04:03] ---
    Hello! Mori here!
[04:05] ---
    Why am I here?
    Oh, that doesn't matter!
[04:09] ---
    What case are you on?
[04:12] ---
    Eh?! He's involved with a murder case?!
[04:17] ---
    Very well! You can count on me!
[04:20] ---
    Wait, Mori--!
[04:24] ---
    Oh, no, you don't!
[04:28] ---
    Give it up!
[04:29] ---
    You just crossed paths
    with the peerless Mori Kogoro!
[04:35] ---
    W-Wait! I have no
    idea what's going on!
[04:39] ---
    Don't play dumb! You can spout
    your excuses when we get there!
[04:43] ---
    Would the police call
    a suspect on the phone?
[04:47] ---
    But he's...
[04:58] ---
    Inspector!
[05:00] ---
    C'mon!
[05:03] ---
    Oh, thanks for coming.
[05:05] ---
    I've brought the suspect,
    as requested!
[05:09] ---
    Huh? What're you talking about?
[05:13] ---
    Think about it.
[05:15] ---
    If Izumi Takeo-san were a suspect,
    we obviously wouldn't call him.
[05:20] ---
    Oh, now that you mention it...
[05:22] ---
    Yeah, I figured as much.
[05:26] ---
    TM Securities, Beika Branch.
[05:29] ---
    Izumi Takeo-san.
    You visited this home tonight, yes?
[05:34] ---
    Uhh, no... Yes.
[05:36] ---
    You came at 8:00 exactly,
    and left at 8:40. Correct?
[05:43] ---
    I don't know the exact times...
[05:45] ---
    How do you know the times so exactly?
[05:48] ---
    He's on the security camera tape.
[05:52] ---
    Ah! So he did kill her, then?!
[05:55] ---
    Nope.
[05:57] ---
    After Izumi-san left...
    Yes, at 8:50, the daughter stopped by.
[06:03] ---
    The victim was still alive then.
[06:06] ---
    What's more, security
    personnel saw her at 9:00.
[06:11] ---
    Security personnel?
[06:12] ---
    A cat snuck into the yard and
    set off the security alarms.
[06:17] ---
    I contacted Izumi-san to learn
    more about the victim.
[06:22] ---
    Oh, I see.
[06:25] ---
    Who is the victim, anyway?
[06:28] ---
    Kojima Ikuko. She managed a
    chain of discount electronics stores.
[06:34] ---
    She was strangled to death.
[06:38] ---
    Well, now that everyone
    is here, let us begin.
[06:42] ---
    Mori-kun.
[06:43] ---
    This is the victim's daughter, Chihiro-san.
[06:47] ---
    And the one who
    found her, Yoshioka-san.
[06:50] ---
    Who's he?
[06:55] ---
    The great detective, Mori Kogoro.
[06:59] ---
    The Mori Kogoro?!
[07:02] ---
    Now, then. According
    to the security video...
[07:05] ---
    Izumi-san arrived at 8:00,
    and left at 8:40.
[07:11] ---
    Chihiro-san arrived at 8:50,
    and left at 9:10.
[07:17] ---
    Then Yoshioka-san arrived at 9:20,
    and discovered the body,
[07:21] ---
    and called the police at 9:31.
[07:24] ---
    I assume this is all correct?
[07:26] ---
    If it's on tape,
    then of course it is.
[07:29] ---
    Her own mother just died!
    Why is she...
[07:33] ---
    I take it your mother
    was still alive when you left?
[07:38] ---
    Of course she was!
[07:40] ---
    Or, what? Are you suggesting
    I killed my mother?!
[07:43] ---
    No, no, nothing of the sort...
[07:46] ---
    Basically, that puts the time
    of death between 9:10 and 9:20.
[07:52] ---
    Was the house locked?
[07:56] ---
    The front door was apparently
    open when Mr. Yoshioka arrived.
[08:00] ---
    All other doors
    were locked from the inside.
[08:03] ---
    Meaning the killer was one of
    these three who used the front door!
[08:10] ---
    Well, time-wise, we can
    probably discount Izumi-san.
[08:15] ---
    Hold on! He has a
    motive for killing my mother!
[08:19] ---
    He was on the
    verge of being sued by her!
[08:23] ---
    He wasted 300 million of
    her money on a lousy investment!
[08:27] ---
    T-That was...
[08:28] ---
    So it was you!
[08:30] ---
    W-What?!
[08:31] ---
    I bet you pretended to leave,
    and snuck in when the coast was clear!
[08:36] ---
    I don't think he's the killer.
[08:39] ---
    Conan-kun...
[08:40] ---
    If the time of death
    was between 9:10 and 9:20,
[08:44] ---
    time-wise, Izumi-*san
    *couldn't have done it.
[08:47] ---
    How's that?
[08:48] ---
    Don't you remember?
    It was around 9:40...
[08:51] ---
    9:40...
[08:55] ---
    Oh, yeah!
[08:56] ---
    What is it?
[08:57] ---
    Come to think of it,
    he was with us in Beika at 9:40...
[09:03] ---
    I see. It'd take at least fifty to
    sixty minutes to get there by car...
[09:10] ---
    I guess he's in the clear.
[09:12] ---
    But he could've done it somehow!
[09:15] ---
    The lady has a point!
[09:18] ---
    But, Miss. Didn't you have a
    reason of your own to kill her, too?
[09:24] ---
    Come again?!
[09:26] ---
    What do you mean?
[09:28] ---
    Her mother severed all ties
    with her because of her fiance.
[09:32] ---
    Apparently, her husband
    is behind bars...
[09:35] ---
    Mind your own business!
[09:37] ---
    And even if that were true,
    why would I need to kill my mother?!
[09:41] ---
    I heard you asked her for a loan,
    but were harshly brushed aside!
[09:46] ---
    And that that fueled
    a big family quarrel...
[09:51] ---
    You're the one who argued with
    her and said you'd kill her someday!
[09:56] ---
    W-What nonsense!
[09:58] ---
    In any case, it would appear
    one of you two is the killer.
[10:05] ---
    So, what brought you
    here tonight, Chihiro-san?
[10:08] ---
    I was called here.
    To be lectured at.
[10:11] ---
    And that made you snap and kill her!
[10:15] ---
    Will you get serious,
    you lousy detective?!
[10:16] ---
    L-Lousy?!
[10:18] ---
    Now, now, Mori-kun!
[10:20] ---
    And what brought
    you here, Yoshioka-san?
[10:23] ---
    A work-related meeting.
[10:27] ---
    The circumstances definitely
    indicate it was one of these two...
[10:38] ---
    Here's the tape. Let me know if
    you remember or notice anything.
[10:49] ---
    First, Izumi-san arrives at 8:00
    on the dot and goes inside.
[10:55] ---
    And it's at 8:40
    exactly that he leaves.
[11:00] ---
    Next is Chihiro-san.
    The time is 8:50.
[11:06] ---
    Then, ten minutes later, Ms. Ikuko
    steps out to speak with the guards.
[11:12] ---
    I see. So the victim was
    still alive at this point.
[11:16] ---
    Huh?
[11:18] ---
    What is it?
    Something seems different...
[11:22] ---
    At 9:10, Chihiro-san leaves.
[11:28] ---
    Then, at 9:20, Yoshioka-san arrives.
[11:33] ---
    But as there's no
    response, he looks inside...
[11:37] ---
    ...and finds Ms. Ikuko dead.
[11:42] ---
    Wait!
[11:44] ---
    Rewind that!
[11:48] ---
    Right there!
[11:49] ---
    Say, why did you go outside?
[11:52] ---
    T-To contact the police, of course.
[11:56] ---
    Why would you go outside
    when there's a phone in here?
[12:00] ---
    That is strange...
[12:02] ---
    I was in shock. So I went
    to my car to get my cell phone.
[12:07] ---
    You can't blame him;
    he found a dead body.
[12:10] ---
    For someone who ran out shocked,
[12:13] ---
    he did spend ten minutes in there.
[12:16] ---
    That's definitely strange.
[12:18] ---
    What did you do for those ten minutes?
[12:23] ---
    And look, he's holding something here.
[12:28] ---
    Care to explain, Yoshioka-san?
[12:33] ---
    Uhh...
[12:35] ---
    Report- Ozawa Detective Agency
[12:39] ---
    I see. So this shows that you
    embezzled money from the company.
[12:46] ---
    I'd be ruined if
    that were made public!
[12:49] ---
    So I came to talk with her...
[12:52] ---
    But that discussion
    ended with you killing her!
[12:56] ---
    No! She was already
    dead when I arrived!
[13:00] ---
    Like we can really believe that!
[13:02] ---
    It's the truth! But...
[13:04] ---
    ...I thought if this document got out,
[13:06] ---
    I'd be the prime suspect!
[13:14] ---
    So then you called the
    police after hiding it in your car?
[13:18] ---
    That's right!
[13:19] ---
    You can give us your excuses
    down at the station.
[13:26] ---
    I didn't do it!
    She really was dead!
[13:29] ---
    You gotta believe me!
    I didn't do it!
[13:40] ---
    What is it? Something
    isn't right about this body!
[13:44] ---
    She was dressed for bed,
[13:46] ---
    even though she
    was expecting visitors...
[13:48] ---
    That's weird.
[13:51] ---
    What's weird, Ran-neechan?
[13:53] ---
    Her mouth is wide open,
    but there aren't any wrinkles at all!
[14:02] ---
    That's it! This was a true death mask!
[14:08] ---
    
[14:14] ---
    Alright, Inspector.
    We're ready to take her away.
[14:17] ---
    Alright, then.
[14:18] ---
    Oh no! It'll be too late once
    the body is taken away!
[14:22] ---
    This body really is weird!
[14:25] ---
    What do you mean?
[14:27] ---
    She's in a bathrobe,
    and with a face pack on.
[14:30] ---
    There's nothing unusual about that...
[14:32] ---
    It's like she was going to bed,
[14:33] ---
    even though she
    was expecting company.
[14:35] ---
    That's definitely not how one
    looks before having company over...
[14:38] ---
    But it was her daughter coming over...
[14:41] ---
    But Yoshioka-san was supposed
    to stop by after Chihiro-san, right?
[14:46] ---
    And she was
    strangled to death, right?
[14:49] ---
    Y-Yes.
[14:50] ---
    But Ran-*neechan
    *pointed out that it's weird
[14:52] ---
    that her face pack has no wrinkles!
[14:55] ---
    Eh? Oh, yeah.
[14:57] ---
    It should have wrinkles
    if she was in pain with it on.
[15:03] ---
    Check it out.
[15:04] ---
    Yes, sir.
[15:11] ---
    Which means...
[15:13] ---
    ...the culprit applied the face
    pack after killing the victim!
[15:17] ---
    And put her in the bathrobe...
[15:20] ---
    But what for?!
[15:22] ---
    She was dressed like this when
    you were here, right, Chihiro-san?
[15:25] ---
    T-That's right.
[15:28] ---
    W-What?!
[15:30] ---
    I wasn't the only one!
[15:31] ---
    The security guards saw her, too!
[15:33] ---
    Y-Yes. When I came
    over due to a false alarm,
[15:38] ---
    Kojima-san was
    indeed dressed like this.
[15:41] ---
    In which case, why would
    the killer redo her face pack?
[15:45] ---
    Did anything seem strange?
[15:47] ---
    It's hard to say...
[15:49] ---
    Are you sure it was her?
[15:50] ---
    What about her eyes, ears,
    or lips, for example?
[15:54] ---
    Don't be ridiculous.
[15:55] ---
    Her face was covered
    with the pack and--
[15:58] ---
    Come to think of it,
[16:00] ---
    I was surprised by
    how her bright purple lips
[16:02] ---
    clashed with her white face.
[16:06] ---
    She's not wearing lipstick!
[16:09] ---
    You mean like Chihiro-san's color?
[16:15] ---
    Yes! That was the color!
[16:17] ---
    Aha! So you put the face pack
    on and met with the guards!
[16:23] ---
    Being turned down for the loan
    caused you to kill your own mother.
[16:30] ---
    Your first slip-up was the
    malfunctioning security alarm.
[16:35] ---
    If there was no response,
[16:37] ---
    the guards would've entered the house.
[16:40] ---
    Surprised, you quickly decided
    to play the role of your mother.
[16:46] ---
    With a face pack and
    a robe, you could fool them.
[16:50] ---
    You are mother and daughter, after all.
[16:52] ---
    But in your rush, you met
    them with your lipstick still on.
[16:58] ---
    But you had to remove
    your mother's lipstick...
[17:03] ---
    Since packs are applied
[17:05] ---
    after washing the face
    and removing makeup.
[17:08] ---
    Yes, I met the guards and
    put the face pack on my mother!
[17:13] ---
    But she was already
    dead when I got here!
[17:17] ---
    Everyone knows that
    she and I constantly fought...
[17:20] ---
    I thought everyone
    would think I killed her, so I...
[17:26] ---
    You have to believe me!
    I didn't do it!
[17:29] ---
    There's no question that
    she tried to cover things up.
[17:32] ---
    But it doesn't serve as an alibi...
[17:36] ---
    All it does is change
    the time of death to be--
[17:39] ---
    Change?!
[17:40] ---
    If the time of death is changed...
[17:46] ---
    What's this?
[17:47] ---
    Hey, old man Mori says...
[17:50] ---
    What now?
[17:56] ---
    No, none at all.
[17:57] ---
    That's strange.
    Why hasn't it turned up?
[18:00] ---
    Could it be?!
[18:04] ---
    Umm, is it okay
    for me to leave now?
[18:08] ---
    Sure. Thanks for your help.
[18:10] ---
    I'm sure we'll need to talk
    to you again at some point.
[18:14] ---
    Right, I understand!
[18:21] ---
    Oww!
[18:21] ---
    Ow!
[18:22] ---
    Conan-kun!
[18:24] ---
    Sheesh! I told you
    not to hang around here!
[18:27] ---
    I-I'm sorry...
[18:30] ---
    Don't worry about it!
[18:35] ---
    I knew it!
[18:36] ---
    Well, goodbye.
[18:39] ---
    Alright!
[18:44] ---
    Here we go!
[18:45] ---
    Dad?!
[18:49] ---
    Hold on, Izumi-san.
[18:52] ---
    How can we end this play if the
    main character leaves the stage?
[18:57] ---
    W-What do you mean, Mori-san?
[19:00] ---
    I finally figured out
    who really killed her.
[19:04] ---
    Dad...
[19:05] ---
    But you just said that
    Chihiro-san did it!
[19:08] ---
    I said nothing of the sort.
[19:10] ---
    I merely exposed her cover-up.
[19:15] ---
    Her unnecessary tampering altered
    the estimated time of death,
[19:20] ---
    which ironically created
    an alibi for the real killer.
[19:25] ---
    The real killer?
[19:26] ---
    You don't mean...
[19:27] ---
    S-Surely you're joking?!
[19:29] ---
    You vouched that I was in Beika
    when the murder took place!
[19:34] ---
    But if her testimony is true,
[19:38] ---
    then the murder
    took place before 8:50.
[19:42] ---
    In other words,
    you could have done it, too.
[19:45] ---
    Ridiculous! Are you saying
    you believe her?!
[19:49] ---
    And what proof do you have
    that I killed the woman?!
[19:54] ---
    Chihiro-san. Did your mother
    have poor eyesight?
[19:58] ---
    Eh? Y-Yes. But she always wore
    contacts instead of glasses.
[20:04] ---
    Please take another look
    at the victim's body.
[20:08] ---
    I believe only her left contact is in.
[20:13] ---
    Only the left one is here!
[20:15] ---
    There weren't any
    contacts in her belongings!
[20:18] ---
    There's no use in looking for it.
[20:20] ---
    Because the killer has it.
[20:23] ---
    Yes. The missing contact lens
    is in your pants cuff, Izumi-san!
[20:33] ---
    If you'll excuse me...
[20:39] ---
    Here it is!
[20:42] ---
    N-No way!
[20:44] ---
    That's not a place it could
    just happen to wind up.
[20:47] ---
    It could only happen to someone
    with direct contact with the victim--
[20:52] ---
    the killer, in other words!
[21:02] ---
    She said she was going
    to sue me for all I had...
[21:06] ---
    But I only invested
    how she told me...
[21:10] ---
    But the minute we lost money,
    she blamed it all on me...
[21:16] ---
    Please! Anything but court!
    I'll pay it back, however long it--
[21:21] ---
    I checked the land
    your parents live on.
[21:26] ---
    I could postpone
    things if they sold it...
[21:29] ---
    B-But--!
[21:31] ---
    I already spoke with them.
[21:33] ---
    They've agreed to do
    anything to compensate me.
[21:37] ---
    Family ties are such
    a wonderful thing, indeed.
[21:43] ---
    She had to pay... for dragging
    my elderly parents into this...
[23:24] ---
    Good work!
    You saved the day yet again!
[23:28] ---
    Oh, I see...
[23:29] ---
    The police lost a great man
    when you left the force!
[23:34] ---
    Well, see you later!
[23:35] ---
    Right!
[23:37] ---
    Alright!
[23:38] ---
    Ran! Conan! Time to celebrate!
[23:41] ---
    Let's get some food on our way home!
[23:42] ---
    More ramen, I take it?
[23:45] ---
    Don't be stupid!
    I'm not talking cheap food here!
[23:48] ---
    Alright!
[23:48] ---
    Alright!
[23:50] ---
    We'll celebrate with pork ramen!
[23:56] ---
    I figured as much...
[24:02] ---
    That voice!
[24:07] ---
    Why is Oyama-san sitting formally?
[24:09] ---
    In other words,
    one of you is the killer!
[24:15] ---
    The blood on the table...
    And the tablecloth...
[24:20] ---
    Just as the dying message says,
[24:23] ---
    the killer is definitely that person!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    "The Snowy Mountain Lodge Murder Case."
[24:46] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:49] ---
    Shoji.
[24:51] ---
    Next episode we'll fork the
    rook and check the king!
[24:54] ---
    Wait, don't do that yet.
[24:56] ---
