**[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!
**[23:35] ---**
What a nice nap! Upsy-daisy!
**[23:46] ---**
W-What am I doing up here?!
**[23:50] ---**
Oh no!
**[24:07] ---**
Oh, you're the son of Hattori Heizo-*san*,
**[24:11] ---**
Osaka's chief of police!
**[24:14] ---**
That's it! I figured out
the locked room trick! And--
**[24:22] ---**
Conan-*kun*! Conan-*kun*, what's wrong?!
**[24:25] ---**
On the next Conan--
**[24:27] ---**
