[00:01] ---
    As times change, difficult cases
    will increase in number!
[00:04] ---
    Today's stage is a sports club!
[00:06] ---
    Let's train both
    our minds and bodies!
[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 Sports Club Murder Case.
[01:56] ---
    After winning a raffle,
    we were invited to a sports gym
[02:00] ---
    the day before its
    grand re-opening.
[02:07] ---
    I-- I can't go on...
[02:09] ---
    I'm exhausted... I can't move...
[02:11] ---
    How pathetic.
[02:12] ---
    Your booze and lack of
    exercise has gotten to you!
[02:16] ---
    Don't be stupid!
[02:17] ---
    Detectives fight from the neck up!
[02:20] ---
    More like from the
    neck down in your case...
[02:26] ---
    These renovations have been
    the earnest wish of our sports club!
[02:29] ---
    As a former high-diver,
[02:32] ---
    I really understand
    the greatness of sports!
[02:35] ---
    So it was my hope to help others
    get in shape and better their health...
[02:41] ---
    Hey, Conan-kun.
[02:43] ---
    Let's ditch my dad
    and check out the pool!
[02:46] ---
    Yeah!
[02:55] ---
    The glass exterior is so wonderful!
[02:58] ---
    They're doing high-diving up there!
[03:10] ---
    That's a high-diver from this club;
[03:14] ---
    I think his name is Saijo-san!
[03:19] ---
    High-Dive Competitor Saijo Naoya
[03:23] ---
    You're up, Naruse!
    Don't mess up now!
[03:31] ---
    What was that?!
[03:32] ---
    And you wanna be team captain, Naruse?!
[03:38] ---
    High-Dive Competitor Naruse Keiichi
[03:39] ---
    I haven't gotten enough practice
    with all the preparations lately.
[03:43] ---
    That the only reason you
    haven't practiced enough?
[03:46] ---
    What's that supposed to mean?!
[03:48] ---
    In any case, diving like that,
[03:51] ---
    it's clear how the
    tournament'll turn out.
[03:53] ---
    W-What did you say?!
[03:55] ---
    Stop it, you two!
[03:57] ---
    There are people here!
    And the media!
[04:00] ---
    You sure you should
    be acting all big, Kijima?
[04:03] ---
    I-- I'm not trying to act big...
[04:04] ---
    Competitive Swimmer Kijima Hisashi
[04:07] ---
    With that lame earring...
[04:09] ---
    Are you really fit
    to boss people around?
[04:14] ---
    Hey, Naruse!
    Get back to practice!
[04:20] ---
    I think that's Kijima-san,
    Saijo-san's former rival...
[04:25] ---
    Saijo-san took his
    place as team captain,
[04:27] ---
    so he switched to
    competitive swimming...
[04:30] ---
    Here we have our prized competitive
    swimming and high-diving pool.
[04:36] ---
    They're in the middle of
    high-dive practice as we speak!
[04:45] ---
    Look out!
[04:59] ---
    I know the tournament's soon,
    but don't go overboard, Saijo-kun!
[05:03] ---
    You're our ace, you know!
[05:05] ---
    I wonder.
[05:07] ---
    Your look says,
    "What a pity he survived."
[05:12] ---
    Oh, you're such a kidder, Saijo-kun!
[05:16] ---
    Nothing compared to you, though.
[05:29] ---
    You're low!
[05:32] ---
    I know that you want to say
[05:33] ---
    the re-opening will
    fail if even a rumor
[05:36] ---
    hits the media or tax office!
[05:40] ---
    Tax office?
[05:41] ---
    Conan-kun.
[05:44] ---
    What're you doing here?
[05:47] ---
    Oh, uhh...
[05:50] ---
    Saijo-kun.
[05:51] ---
    We're having a job-well-done
    party in my office at 8:00!
[05:54] ---
    Don't forget!
[06:02] ---
    Well, guess I'll get
    a little more practice in.
[06:12] ---
    A hidden camera photo?
    The man is that Naruse guy...
[06:17] ---
    Hey, you dropped something!
[06:19] ---
    Hey, you dropped this!
[06:21] ---
    Oh, sorry. I always wear
    earplugs during practice, you see.
[06:26] ---
    Thanks.
[06:27] ---
    This is my pay dirt.
[06:31] ---
    Pay dirt?
[06:59] ---
    And another!
[07:01] ---
    That smarts...
[07:04] ---
    You brought it on yourself!
[07:06] ---
    You should work out instead
    of smoking and drinking!
[07:10] ---
    Yeah, that's about the only
    thing you have going for you...
[07:14] ---
    But that club sure was great!
[07:17] ---
    We should join, Conan-kun!
[07:19] ---
    Yeah!
[07:21] ---
    Right, Dad?
[07:23] ---
    Eh?
[07:25] ---
    Oh! I have a call on
    my answering machine!
[07:28] ---
    Come on, Dad!
[07:30] ---
    Let's see, is it about work?
[07:33] ---
    Ugh...
[07:36] ---
    Mori-kun. It's me, Megure.
[07:39] ---
    The Inspector?
[07:40] ---
    I hate to ask, but could you come
    to the Saeki Sports Club right away?
[07:44] ---
    Along with Ran-kun and Conan-kun.
[07:45] ---
    One of the instructors,
    Saijo Naoya-san,
[07:48] ---
    was found dead in the pool!
[07:51] ---
    What?!
[08:00] ---
    Inspector!
[08:02] ---
    Oh! You came, Mori-kun!
[08:05] ---
    Sorry I'm late.
    So, what do we have?
[08:09] ---
    It's just as it looks.
[08:12] ---
    We'll need to wait for an autopsy,
[08:14] ---
    but the estimated time of death
[08:15] ---
    is between 8:00 and 9:00 pm.
[08:19] ---
    It appears that--
[08:20] ---
    He drowned.
[08:21] ---
    Just because you've
    been in water before
[08:24] ---
    doesn't make you an expert!
[08:26] ---
    He's absolutely correct.
[08:29] ---
    After all, the body's condition
    points entirely to a drowning.
[08:33] ---
    See the foam coming
    from his nose and mouth?
[08:36] ---
    And the slight bit
    of blood from his ears.
[08:40] ---
    The water in his mouth and nose
[08:41] ---
    produced pressure on the inner ears.
[08:45] ---
    They're both characteristics
    of a drowning, right?
[08:47] ---
    T-That's right,
    but how did you know that?
[08:49] ---
    Eh? Oh, I think it was on a
    suspense TV show the other day...
[08:57] ---
    But he was a professional swimmer.
[09:02] ---
    It's hard to see him drowning...
[09:04] ---
    Huh? Did he hit his
    forehead on something?
[09:07] ---
    See? There's a mark on his cap!
[09:15] ---
    Exactly. It seems he messed up
    during his high-diving practice.
[09:24] ---
    I hear it's quite a
    dangerous practice indeed...
[09:27] ---
    I asked you here because you
    saw him practicing this afternoon,
[09:32] ---
    and I wanted your testimonies.
[09:33] ---
    It was a very close call then;
[09:37] ---
    I guess he wasn't so lucky this time...
[09:41] ---
    Say, was there nobody else here?
[09:43] ---
    Was Saijo-san practicing alone?
[09:46] ---
    Hey, you! Shut up for a minute!
[09:49] ---
    So?
[09:50] ---
    I'm certain of it.
[09:51] ---
    Everyone else had finished
    preparing for tomorrow
[09:53] ---
    and were in the back office
[09:56] ---
    at 8:00 for a job-well-done party.
[09:59] ---
    A tournament is coming up,
[10:01] ---
    so Saijo-san practiced
    whenever he could.
[10:04] ---
    Probably tonight, too...
[10:05] ---
    We also have a witness.
    There's no question about it.
[10:09] ---
    A witness?
[10:11] ---
    Yes. An old man on the
    second floor of those apartments
[10:16] ---
    says he saw someone doing
    high-dive practice all alone.
[10:20] ---
    But he didn't see
    the accident itself, right?
[10:23] ---
    W-Well, no, but...
[10:26] ---
    Shut up!
[10:29] ---
    Say, I think Saijo-san always
    wore earplugs when practicing.
[10:34] ---
    Yes, the examiners
    removed them earlier...
[10:42] ---
    Here they are.
[10:43] ---
    He had different
    ones this afternoon.
[10:48] ---
    Probably switched 'em.
[10:50] ---
    There's nothing unusual about that!
[10:53] ---
    Then what about his cap?
[10:54] ---
    What about his cap, Conan-kun?
[10:57] ---
    High-divers don't usually
    wear caps, you know?
[11:00] ---
    So? People can do
    different things sometimes!
[11:03] ---
    Quit looking at every little thing!
[11:08] ---
    Conan-kun!
[11:10] ---
    Let him go.
[11:16] ---
    Say, was Saijo-san's locker locked?
[11:20] ---
    Huh? No, it was unlocked...
    But who're you, little boy?
[11:23] ---
    You know, he's the kid staying
    with Detective Mori.
[11:26] ---
    Oh yeah?
[11:28] ---
    What's this smell?
[11:33] ---
    This is chloroform!
[11:35] ---
    No question about it!
    This was a murder!
[11:40] ---
    A couple details are a bit fuzzy,
[11:42] ---
    but it appears this was an accident.
[11:47] ---
    What?! You gotta be kidding me!
[11:49] ---
    This was clearly a murder!
[11:52] ---
    Thanks for coming, Mori-kun.
[11:54] ---
    No, I'm glad I could help, Inspector!
[11:57] ---
    Hold on, now!
[11:59] ---
    Are we just gonna leave like this?!
[12:01] ---
    Umm, this won't affect our
    re-opening tomorrow, will it?
[12:07] ---
    Hmm, well, the police
    will be finished tonight,
[12:11] ---
    so it should be all right.
[12:15] ---
    Hear that, everyone?
[12:17] ---
    What happened to
    Saijo-kun was terrible,
[12:19] ---
    but it was an accident!
[12:21] ---
    We'll re-open
    tomorrow as scheduled!
[12:24] ---
    Just to be on the safe side,
    do your final checks--
[12:26] ---
    Damn! I have to hurry!
[12:30] ---
    The incident occurred after we left.
[12:34] ---
    It would be hard for
    an outsider to get inside.
[12:37] ---
    Therefore, it's highly likely that
    the killer was someone on the inside!
[12:47] ---
    Hey, you guys!
[12:50] ---
    What is it, little boy?
[12:51] ---
    The job-well-done
    party was here, right?
[12:54] ---
    Did anyone leave during it?
[12:57] ---
    I dunno...
[12:58] ---
    If so, I didn't notice.
[13:00] ---
    It was a pretty lively party.
[13:03] ---
    Thank you!
[13:05] ---
    In other words, it wouldn't
    have been impossible to sneak out.
[13:09] ---
    Those three who opposed Saijo-san...
[13:13] ---
    Saeki Reiko,
    blackmailed over tax evasion...
[13:17] ---
    Kijima Hisashi, who had
    his leadership position stolen...
[13:20] ---
    Naruse Keiichi, blackmailed
    with adultery photos...
[13:24] ---
    The killer is definitely one of them!
[13:28] ---
    The problem is
    that old man's testimony...
[13:33] ---
    It greatly hinders my theory...
[13:38] ---
    Guess I'll have to go there myself!
[13:47] ---
    Yes, little boy?
[13:49] ---
    Hello! My name is Edogawa Conan!
[13:53] ---
    A detective told me
    to come hear your story.
[13:58] ---
    My story?
[14:06] ---
    You're a painter!
[14:09] ---
    It's just an old man's hobby.
[14:18] ---
    Did you paint this based
    on what you saw from here?!
[14:22] ---
    That's right.
[14:23] ---
    Painting at a set time everyday
    is an old man's excitement!
[14:29] ---
    A set time?!
[14:30] ---
    Yes. I drew that picture tonight, too...
[14:33] ---
    Saijo-kun, was his name?
[14:35] ---
    What a pity...
[14:38] ---
    Turning off the lights,
[14:39] ---
    practicing intensely...
    He brought it on himself.
[14:43] ---
    He turned off the lights?!
[14:44] ---
    Yes. His diving form made a silhouette
    with the full moon behind him.
[14:49] ---
    So you didn't actually see
    Saijo-san's face tonight, then?!
[14:53] ---
    That's right.
    It was very beautiful...
[14:56] ---
    It sparkled so beautifully...
[15:00] ---
    The image came right to
    me so I painted it right away.
[15:03] ---
    I call it, "Diving Against the Moonlight."
[15:06] ---
    Beautiful? If he hit his head,
[15:11] ---
    he would've lost his balance and fallen!
[15:17] ---
    This is! Ah, now I get it!
    That person was the killer!
[15:22] ---
    
[15:29] ---
    Hey, you! Where were you?!
[15:32] ---
    You had us worried, Conan-kun!
[15:34] ---
    Uh oh!
[15:35] ---
    You're in trouble now!
    Get over here!
[15:38] ---
    No!
[15:41] ---
    Stop! Get back here!
[15:43] ---
    No!
[16:00] ---
    Get back here!
[16:02] ---
    Give yourself up!
[16:04] ---
    Sorry, old man!
[16:06] ---
    It's my butt today...
[16:10] ---
    Uh oh!
[16:15] ---
    Are you all right?! Dad!
    Conan-kun!
[16:18] ---
    Ran! Gather everyone here on the double!
[16:21] ---
    Eh?!
[16:26] ---
    What's this about, Mori-kun?
[16:29] ---
    I know who's
    responsible for this incident.
[16:32] ---
    Responsible?
[16:33] ---
    You mean it wasn't an accident?!
[16:35] ---
    That's right. This was a murder
    made to look like an accident!
[16:39] ---
    What?!
[16:42] ---
    Those earplugs were my first suspicion.
[16:45] ---
    That was the killer's oversight.
[16:48] ---
    After knocking Saijo-san out
    with a chloroform-soaked rag,
[16:52] ---
    the killer plugged his ears
[16:54] ---
    with earplugs different from his own.
[16:59] ---
    As for the cap...
[17:01] ---
    Inspector.
[17:02] ---
    Was there any blood, hair, or signs
[17:05] ---
    of a strike on the diving platform?
[17:06] ---
    No, nothing of the sort.
[17:09] ---
    Wait, was the cap
    meant to fool us about that?!
[17:12] ---
    Precisely.
[17:14] ---
    It was meant to make the poolside
    murder look like a diving accident.
[17:22] ---
    M-My word!
[17:23] ---
    The killer then threw the removed
    clothes into Saijo-san's locker
[17:28] ---
    and left... without locking it!
[17:31] ---
    But that's nothing more than
    circumstantial evidence, Mori-kun!
[17:35] ---
    Besides, what about the witness?!
[17:38] ---
    Actually, if that witness were
    to always look out the veranda
[17:42] ---
    at a set time every day,
    that changes things substantially.
[17:47] ---
    What?! The veranda, at a set time?!
[17:50] ---
    What do you mean?!
[17:51] ---
    In short, the witness
    didn't coincidentally see it;
[17:54] ---
    he was made to see it!
[17:56] ---
    W-What?! Made to see his death?!
[18:01] ---
    Don't tell me this was suicide?!
[18:02] ---
    If so, there'd be no need to turn
    off the lights and create a silhouette.
[18:08] ---
    He turned the lights off?
[18:09] ---
    What for?
[18:11] ---
    He didn't want his face to be seen...
[18:14] ---
    That's it! He saw someone
    completely different!
[18:18] ---
    Yes. And it was that person
    who killed Saijo-san!
[18:28] ---
    Kijima Hisashi-san.
[18:29] ---
    You used to be a diver,
    but switched to swimming.
[18:36] ---
    Might you have hated Saijo-*san
    *for taking your role as team captain?
[18:41] ---
    Competitive swimmers never
    swim without caps, correct?
[18:44] ---
    Putting a cap on to avoid suspicion,
    even if no marks were left...
[18:52] ---
    That's something only a
    competitive swimmer would think of!
[18:55] ---
    So it was him?
[18:57] ---
    That's right.
[18:58] ---
    He killed Saijo-san and
    made it look like an accident!
[19:02] ---
    H-Hold on!
[19:03] ---
    You're going to accuse
    me based on some guess?!
[19:08] ---
    What proof do you have?!
[19:10] ---
    Inspector.
[19:12] ---
    At the bottom of the platform
    stairs is a painting the witness made.
[19:19] ---
    Unwrap it and have a look.
[19:27] ---
    T-This painting!
[19:29] ---
    Saijo-kun...
[19:30] ---
    That was done while
    watching tonight's diving practice.
[19:36] ---
    Meaning... this is the killer?!
[19:39] ---
    Look closely.
[19:40] ---
    Never mind that he cut
    the lights to show off his diving,
[19:44] ---
    there was other definitive
    evidence that shone in the moonlight...
[19:49] ---
    The old man painted
    that faithfully to what he saw...
[19:53] ---
    Faithfully...
[20:05] ---
    An earring!
[20:06] ---
    T-That can't be!
[20:07] ---
    One other thing--
[20:08] ---
    if the killer was an insider,
    he hasn't left yet!
[20:14] ---
    Which means the murder weapon
    must be in this building somewhere.
[20:24] ---
    But why would he murder him
    over the role as team captain?
[20:29] ---
    It probably wasn't about skill.
[20:33] ---
    He blackmailed you, didn't he?
[20:36] ---
    T-That's right...
[20:39] ---
    Half a year ago,
    I caused a motorcycle accident
[20:43] ---
    and severely injured my girlfriend
    who was sitting behind me.
[20:48] ---
    I dunno how he found out,
[20:51] ---
    but he threatened to tell the owner
    and the tournament committee!
[20:54] ---
    So I used my health as a reason to
    give him my place as captain!
[21:00] ---
    But I couldn't forgive him!
[21:02] ---
    He was no sportsman!
[21:05] ---
    He had to pay...
[21:09] ---
    It seems your mistake was
    making too perfect of a dive.
[21:14] ---
    It was a once-in-a-lifetime
    performance for me.
[21:19] ---
    I knew I should have,
[21:20] ---
    but I just couldn't
    lose my balance during it!
[21:24] ---
    My pride wouldn't let me...
[23:06] ---
    A concrete block was later
    found in an office trash can.
[23:12] ---
    Upon examination, it matched
    with Saijo-san's forehead injury,
[23:16] ---
    and Kijima's fingerprints
    were found on it.
[23:21] ---
    Dad! Earth to Dad!
[23:25] ---
    Oh, crap! I forgot about him!
[23:29] ---
    Dad! We should get going now!
