[00:01] ---
    As times change, difficult
    cases will increase in number!
[00:04] ---
    Shinichi's rival suddenly appears!
[00:07] ---
    Can I fight him as Conan?!
[00:09] ---
    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!
[01:46] ---
    The Diplomat Murder Case (Part 1).
[01:55] ---
    Sheesh! You finally call me
    for once but you have a cold!
[02:00] ---
    Just get back here already, Shinichi!
[02:03] ---
    I can't help it;
[02:05] ---
    I'm in the middle of a dangerous case.
[02:09] ---
    Oh, a client.
[02:11] ---
    It looks like a client is here,
    so I'll talk to you later!
[02:14] ---
    And get over your stupid cold!
[02:17] ---
    Hey, Ran!
[02:20] ---
    Ugh! She worries when I don't call,
[02:24] ---
    and yells at me when I do call!
[02:26] ---
    All she ever does is complain!
[02:31] ---
    I just don't get girls!
[02:36] ---
    No point in lying, Missy.
    I know he's here!
[02:41] ---
    So bring out Kudo Shinichi!
[02:44] ---
    Eh? Me?
[02:45] ---
    C'mon, already!
[02:47] ---
    Conan-kun!
[02:49] ---
    You have a cold, too?!
[02:50] ---
    Yeah...
[02:53] ---
    Here, stay still.
[02:55] ---
    Honestly, both you and Shinichi...
[02:58] ---
    Is there a cold going around?
[03:00] ---
    Kudo has a cold?
[03:02] ---
    How do you know that
    if you dunno where he is?
[03:09] ---
    The phone.
[03:11] ---
    Shinichi called just
    now with a nasally voice.
[03:14] ---
    Kudo called here?
[03:15] ---
    He does call once in a while.
[03:18] ---
    There a problem with that?
[03:19] ---
    So I guess the rumor you're
    Kudo's woman really is true...
[03:24] ---
    Woman?!
[03:25] ---
    Eh?!
[03:26] ---
    Who said that?!
[03:26] ---
    Who said that?!
[03:28] ---
    Some friend of yours named Suzuki.
[03:31] ---
    Says Kudo doesn't go to school,
[03:33] ---
    and that you're probably involved!
[03:36] ---
    Sonoko...
[03:38] ---
    Darn her...
[03:39] ---
    So, what did you and Kudo talk about?
[03:42] ---
    Nothing.
[03:44] ---
    He told me about good
    mystery novels he read recently,
[03:48] ---
    the J-League, and asked
    how people at school are.
[03:53] ---
    Did he ask about you?
[03:55] ---
    Eh? Me?
[03:58] ---
    Come to think of it,
[03:59] ---
    he always talks about
    himself and never about me.
[04:06] ---
    W-What's going on?
[04:08] ---
    Hey, now! What're you doing?!
[04:10] ---
    Doesn't it seem strange?
[04:12] ---
    Eh?
[04:13] ---
    His occasional calls mean
    he has some interest in you.
[04:20] ---
    Wouldn't someone like that
    care how the other person is doing?
[04:24] ---
    There's only one reason why
    he wouldn't ask that.
[04:28] ---
    Kudo is watching you from somewhere!
[04:32] ---
    Eh?!
[04:33] ---
    Probably from nearby, too.
[04:35] ---
    Shinichi... is watching me?
[04:39] ---
    I'm sure he's spying from somewhere!
[04:42] ---
    Talk about creepy!
[04:44] ---
    Who is this guy?!
[04:47] ---
    By the way, who are you?
[04:49] ---
    Oh, right. I forgot.
[04:53] ---
    My name is Hattori Heiji.
[04:55] ---
    A high school detective,
    just like Kudo.
[04:58] ---
    High school...
[04:59] ---
    ...detective?!
[05:01] ---
    Oh, he's just a detective.
[05:05] ---
    Hey, kid. I got just
    the thing for your cold!
[05:11] ---
    Come to think of it,
[05:14] ---
    I have heard of a
    skilled detective in Kansai...
[05:17] ---
    Yep. They call us "Hattori of the West"
    and "Kudo of the East."
[05:25] ---
    Here ya go!
[05:26] ---
    Oh, thanks...
[05:29] ---
    But there's been no
    word about Kudo lately.
[05:33] ---
    He's never in the papers anymore,
[05:36] ---
    and rumors say he's missing...
[05:39] ---
    But now the east has Mori Kogoro--
[05:42] ---
    So what do you want with Shinichi?!
[05:44] ---
    Nothing. I just wanna see for myself.
[05:49] ---
    The east has me, Mori!
[05:52] ---
    I wanna see if Kudo Shinichi's
[05:53] ---
    really worthy of being compared to me.
[05:58] ---
    Huh?
[06:00] ---
    Conan-kun! What's wrong?!
[06:05] ---
    Ran-neechan...
[06:07] ---
    Conan-kun! Hey!
    What did you give him!
[06:11] ---
    Chinese alcohol known as baigar.
[06:13] ---
    I'll be staying here until I meet Kudo.
[06:16] ---
    So this is a gift!
[06:18] ---
    How can you just do that?!
[06:23] ---
    Do you know how long I rang the bell?!
[06:25] ---
    I see this agency isn't
    equipped to greet clients, either!
[06:29] ---
    I'm in a hurry,
    so could we make this quick?
[06:34] ---
    A background check
    on your son's girlfriend?
[06:37] ---
    That is a photo of her, and her history.
[06:42] ---
    Katsuragi Yukiko-san, age 24.
[06:45] ---
    Graduated Mitsuba Middle School
    and High School top of her class,
[06:50] ---
    currently attends
    Toto Medical University.
[06:52] ---
    Well on her way to
    becoming a woman doctor.
[06:54] ---
    Something wrong with all this?
[06:56] ---
    No. It's just...
[06:59] ---
    Too perfect, so you don't like her.
[07:02] ---
    People are inquisitive,
    jealous creatures...
[07:05] ---
    When they see something perfect,
[07:07] ---
    they naturally look for flaws.
[07:10] ---
    Right, lady?
[07:12] ---
    Who is he?!
[07:14] ---
    Oh, just a friend of my daughter's...
[07:17] ---
    In any case, we can talk in more
    detail at my home, with my husband.
[07:22] ---
    Umm... Right now?
[07:26] ---
    Couldn't you have both come here?
[07:29] ---
    As I told you,
    my husband is a diplomat.
[07:33] ---
    If people found out he came here...
[07:35] ---
    ...it'd turn into scandal.
[07:37] ---
    Alright! I'm coming too!
[07:40] ---
    What?!
[07:41] ---
    It'd be less suspicious
    if we went as a family, right?
[07:48] ---
    Yes. That would be best.
[07:50] ---
    Eh?! M-Madam!
[07:53] ---
    Why don't you come, too?
[07:55] ---
    Why me?
[07:56] ---
    The more the merrier, y'know?
[07:59] ---
    Besides, who knows,
    maybe Kudo'll show up!
[08:05] ---
    Ran-neechan. Ran-neechan!
[08:08] ---
    Let's go with them!
[08:10] ---
    But are you okay with your cold?
[08:12] ---
    Yeah! His medicine got rid of it!
[08:16] ---
    Told ya!
[08:17] ---
    Yeah, right! It made it even worse!
[08:21] ---
    I don't wanna go,
[08:23] ---
    but there's no telling
    what this guy might say!
[08:27] ---
    Welcome back, Madam.
[08:29] ---
    Where is my husband?
[08:30] ---
    I do believe he's still in his study.
[08:31] ---
    Koike Fumio (48)-- Butler
[08:34] ---
    Who are these folks?
[08:36] ---
    This is Mori-san, an old friend.
[08:39] ---
    Mother! Hello there!
[08:42] ---
    Oh! You're from the photo--
[08:44] ---
    W-Why are you here?!
[08:46] ---
    I asked her here.
[08:47] ---
    Dad won't see her,
    so I'm forcing him to.
[08:52] ---
    He still won't come out
    of his study, though.
[08:56] ---
    Umm, might these people be
    acquaintances of yours, Mother?
[09:00] ---
    That is none of your business!
[09:03] ---
    And you have no
    right to call me "Mother"!
[09:08] ---
    I-I'm sorry...
[09:11] ---
    This way.
[09:14] ---
    Sure acts big for a second wife...
[09:17] ---
    Oh, Father.
[09:19] ---
    I didn't know you were home.
[09:21] ---
    Come, now! You said you wanted
    to hear about the fish I caught!
[09:28] ---
    What do you think?
[09:29] ---
    A real whopper, wouldn't you say?
[09:31] ---
    Oh, right. I'll be there soon.
[09:34] ---
    Please wait in the
    Japanese-style room.
[09:36] ---
    Yeah.
[09:43] ---
    Dear! He's here! Dear!
[09:46] ---
    That's odd. Is he not in there?
[09:53] ---
    Oh, you are in here!
[09:56] ---
    Honestly, now! Leaving the stereo
    on and taking a nap in here!
[10:02] ---
    An opera?
[10:03] ---
    Dear! Hey! Please wake up! Dear!
[10:07] ---
    Dear--
[10:15] ---
    Dear! Say something! Dear!
[10:18] ---
    Too late. He's already dead!
[10:21] ---
    Ran! Call the police!
[10:23] ---
    Right!
[10:24] ---
    Dear!
[10:27] ---
    His body is still warm.
[10:29] ---
    And his lips are
    starting to turn purple.
[10:34] ---
    There's a small
    red dot by his hairline...
[10:37] ---
    Could it be?!
[10:45] ---
    Oww!
[10:45] ---
    Oww!
[10:46] ---
    Stupid kid! Getting in the way!
[10:49] ---
    Conan-kun!
[10:50] ---
    Isn't it your job to watch him?!
[10:52] ---
    Kids shouldn't be
    seeing dead bodies, anyway!
[10:56] ---
    Yeah...
[11:00] ---
    The deceased is Tsujimura Isao-san,
    age 54 and a diplomat.
[11:05] ---
    And the detective who happened
    to be here when the body was found...
[11:10] ---
    Was I, Mori Kogoro, Inspector Megure!
[11:13] ---
    So, is it another
    murder today, great detective?
[11:17] ---
    Well, as there are no
    signs of foul play, it's probably--
[11:21] ---
    Look closer at the body!
[11:24] ---
    He was probably...
[11:25] ---
    ...poisoned.
[11:26] ---
    Yeah. He was pois--
[11:28] ---
    Someone killed this old man with poison.
[11:32] ---
    There's a red dot by his hairline,
[11:36] ---
    and a needle's
    lying next to the body.
[11:39] ---
    The old man died propped up,
[11:42] ---
    but he was probably set that
    way after someone poisoned him.
[11:46] ---
    But it could've been suicide...
[11:49] ---
    What? You don't get it?
    Check out the body.
[11:53] ---
    The lips and digits
    are turning purple,
[11:57] ---
    and his eyes have excess blood.
[11:59] ---
    This is proof he suffocated.
[12:01] ---
    Yet, there are no signs at all of
    strangulation, drowning, or suffering.
[12:07] ---
    The only possibility left is that
[12:09] ---
    he was paralyzed and then suffocated
[12:13] ---
    with powerful poison
    that can kill instantly!
[12:16] ---
    Add in the body's warmth
    and the lack of rigor mortis
[12:24] ---
    and that means he
    was killed half an hour
[12:27] ---
    before we entered the room!
[12:29] ---
    And by someone
    who stopped by this room...
[12:33] ---
    Mori-kun. Who is this lad?
[12:36] ---
    Hattori Heiji.
    A cheeky kid detective.
[12:40] ---
    Hattori... Heiji?
[12:42] ---
    Oh, you're the son of Hattori Heizo-san,
[12:47] ---
    Osaka's chief of police!
[12:50] ---
    Osaka's chief of police?
[12:53] ---
    It's strange, Hattori-*kun
    *somehow reminds me of Shinichi...
[13:02] ---
    Are you all right, Conan-kun?!
[13:05] ---
    This is bad!
    My cold's gotten worse!
[13:09] ---
    All the windows are
    locked from the inside.
[13:13] ---
    Entering from outside is impossible.
[13:16] ---
    Which means one of you entered
    through the door with a spare key.
[13:25] ---
    Madam. I assume there are
    several spare keys to this study?
[13:29] ---
    No, only two.
[13:32] ---
    I have one here.
    My husband has the other.
[13:36] ---
    Y-Your husband?!
[13:38] ---
    Yes. He always kept it
    in his pants pocket.
[13:41] ---
    Let's have a look.
[13:45] ---
    Damn, his pants are tight.
[13:55] ---
    I-Impossible!
[13:57] ---
    Eh? What is?
[13:58] ---
    Don't you get it?!
[14:00] ---
    The door was locked when we arrived!
[14:04] ---
    In other words,
    the killer locked the door and left!
[14:08] ---
    One of the keys is with his wife,
    who entered the room with us,
[14:11] ---
    and the other was in a double
    pocket of the victim's pants...
[14:17] ---
    Making this an
    absolutely impossible crime...
[14:20] ---
    ...a locked room murder!
[14:22] ---
    A locked room murder?!
[14:25] ---
    That can't be...
[14:28] ---
    Just as I thought.
[14:29] ---
    This guy's been in the papers,
    but he didn't solve those cases.
[14:33] ---
    Kudo Shinichi did!
[14:37] ---
    This guy secretly
    contacts Kudo for help.
[14:43] ---
    Probably will this time, too.
[14:45] ---
    Alright!
[14:45] ---
    Let's see who solves this locked
    room murder first, Kudo Shinichi!
[14:52] ---
    I don't feel good...
[14:54] ---
    Even my ears are ringing now...
[14:56] ---
    Looks like I better solve this case
[14:58] ---
    so I can go home and get some rest...
[15:01] ---
    What're you doing?
[15:03] ---
    The murder took place
    between 3:30 and 4:00.
[15:06] ---
    Shouldn't you start by asking
    all the suspects for their alibis?!
[15:10] ---
    T-That's right!
[15:13] ---
    Hey! Don't let him beat you!
[15:15] ---
    Huh?!
[15:15] ---
    Do you want some outsider
    kid to upstage you?!
[15:19] ---
    I'm counting on you
    as always, great detective!
[15:22] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[15:25] ---
    So you spoke with neighbors at
    the front door between 3:00 and 4:00?
[15:33] ---
    Yes.
[15:33] ---
    Is it true Takayoshi-*san
    *and Yukiko-san
[15:36] ---
    arrived just before his wife?
[15:40] ---
    Yes. That is correct.
[15:42] ---
    So where were you two while
    he was greeting her at the door?
[15:48] ---
    My dad's study.
[15:49] ---
    But the door was locked
    and he wouldn't respond,
[15:52] ---
    so we went back downstairs.
[15:54] ---
    Then we saw Mother at the front door...
[15:58] ---
    It was shortly after
    2:00 when you arrived, yes?
[16:02] ---
    That's right.
[16:03] ---
    I came all this way,
    but Isao was holed up in here,
[16:06] ---
    and Kimie-san had left...
[16:08] ---
    With nothing else to do,
[16:10] ---
    I went to the next room
    and watched TV.
[16:13] ---
    What time did you leave?
[16:15] ---
    An hour ago.
[16:17] ---
    Which means that only those
    three could've gotten near the victim
[16:22] ---
    at the time of the murder.
[16:25] ---
    Oh! What an impressive number of CDs!
[16:28] ---
    Yes. He loved classical music.
[16:32] ---
    Classical? Oh yeah, there was
    an opera playing when we found him...
[16:39] ---
    Oh? Madam.
    What is this photograph?
[16:43] ---
    Huh?! Oh no!
[16:45] ---
    This photo is twenty years old!
    What does it matter?!
[16:48] ---
    M-My eyesight is blurring!
[16:50] ---
    Inspector! What shall we
    do with the books on the desk?
[16:53] ---
    Oh. Just leave 'em.
[16:55] ---
    Books?
[16:56] ---
    Come to think of it, there were
    irrelevant books stacked by the body.
[17:00] ---
    Almost as if pulled
    straight out of the bookshelf...
[17:04] ---
    Inspector. We found something
    odd about the victim's key.
[17:07] ---
    What?!
[17:08] ---
    The key holder opens up to reveal...
[17:11] ---
    ...Scotch tape!
[17:13] ---
    What's that thin bulge in the middle?
[17:17] ---
    L-Let me see, too...
[17:23] ---
    Conan-kun?
[17:24] ---
    Now it's my chest!
[17:27] ---
    I gotta solve this case, quick!
[17:29] ---
    Got any realizations for me,
    great detective?
[17:32] ---
    Nope, nothing.
[17:34] ---
    Wait! Could it be?!
[17:38] ---
    The unnaturally-stacked
    books in front of the body,
[17:41] ---
    and the opera playing
    at the scene of the crime!
[17:44] ---
    The tape on the key!
[17:47] ---
    The mysterious bulge
    in the middle of it!
[17:49] ---
    And the slit beneath this door!
[17:53] ---
    The opera!
[17:56] ---
    That's it!
[17:58] ---
    I figured out the locked room trick!
[18:00] ---
    And...
[18:04] ---
    ...who... did it...
[18:08] ---
    Conan-kun!
[18:10] ---
    Conan-kun! What's wrong?!
[18:17] ---
    Hey! Call a doctor!
[18:19] ---
    Yes, sir!
[18:21] ---
    You're really burning up!
[18:23] ---
    Huh? Hattori-kun's gone...
[18:26] ---
    He asked where the
    Japanese-style room was, then left.
[18:30] ---
    Japanese-style room?
[18:34] ---
    It has to be here!
    If my theory's right...
[18:37] ---
    it has to be here somewhere!
[18:45] ---
    Bingo! This is it!
[18:50] ---
    I win, Kudo!
[18:55] ---
    I'm sorry, but is there
    anywhere he can lie down?
[18:58] ---
    You can use the bed in my room.
[19:01] ---
    It's at the end of the hallway.
[19:03] ---
    Thank you! I appreciate it!
[19:07] ---
    Hattori-kun...
[19:08] ---
    I figured it out.
[19:10] ---
    The locked room trick,
    and who did it.
[19:14] ---
    What?!
[19:15] ---
    Eh?!
[19:16] ---
    You solved it already?
[19:18] ---
    That's what you get for being slow!
[19:21] ---
    I'll show you the proof right now.
[19:26] ---
    Fishing line?
[19:28] ---
    Inspector Megure.
[19:30] ---
    Hate to ask, but could
    you play the role of the body?
[19:32] ---
    O-Okay...
[19:34] ---
    D-Don't tell me he's...
[19:39] ---
    At the time of the murder,
[19:40] ---
    all the windows were
    locked from the inside,
[19:44] ---
    and the only other entrance
    was locked as well.
[19:48] ---
    That clearly makes this
    a locked room murder.
[19:53] ---
    But even when this room seems locked,
    there's still one opening.
[19:58] ---
    Opening?
[20:00] ---
    Yes. The opening beneath the door!
[20:04] ---
    Hey, now. You're not suggesting
    the key was thrown through that gap
[20:08] ---
    and into the victim's pocket, are you?
[20:13] ---
    It can be done!
[20:15] ---
    With tape and this needle-ended
    fishing line I found!
[20:22] ---
    Fishing line?
[20:25] ---
    Don't worry, Conan-kun!
[20:27] ---
    A doctor will be here soon!
[20:30] ---
    Damn! This isn't funny!
[20:33] ---
    Fainting from a
    cold at a time like this!
[20:40] ---
    Conan-kun!
[20:41] ---
    After pricking the victim's
    neck with the needle and killing him,
[20:48] ---
    the killer stole the victim's key.
[20:50] ---
    The killer then took out
    the needle-ended fishing line,
[20:54] ---
    taped the non-needle
    end to the key holder,
[20:59] ---
    stuck the needle
    end into the victim's pocket,
[21:01] ---
    pulled the line through,
[21:04] ---
    and then sat him in the chair
[21:07] ---
    and put him in the pose we found him in.
[21:11] ---
    The killer then took both ends
    outside the room, beneath the door,
[21:17] ---
    and then closed and locked the door.
[21:21] ---
    All that remained was to put the
    key down and pull the needle end.
[21:26] ---
    The key slipped under
    the door, climbed up the table,
[21:30] ---
    and entered the
    victim's pocket on its own.
[21:35] ---
    I-It went in!
[21:36] ---
    Then, with one last tug...
[21:40] ---
    the line pulled through the tape.
[21:42] ---
    Then, by simply winding it up,
    the evidence disappeared
[21:46] ---
    and created the perfect
    "locked room murder"!
[21:50] ---
    I-Indeed...
[21:52] ---
    Say something,
    Conan-kun! Conan-kun!
[21:55] ---
    I'm burning up...
    My heart's about to burst...
[22:00] ---
    That must be the doctor!
[22:03] ---
    Hang in there!
    I'll bring him right here!
[22:07] ---
    A-Am I gonna die...
[22:10] ---
    Am I gonna die like this?!
[22:19] ---
    Well, Kudo?
[22:21] ---
    If you got any problems
    with my theory, show yourself!
[22:23] ---
    Better hurry before I solve it all!
[24:01] ---
    Nope, I'm afraid not.
[24:07] ---
    You got it all wrong!
[24:09] ---
    Kudo!
[24:11] ---
    Shinichi!
[24:13] ---
    Just what's wrong
    with my theory, Kudo?!
[24:18] ---
    That... can't be!
[24:21] ---
    Yes. The killer... is you!
