[00:01] ---
    As times change, difficult cases
    will increase in number!
[00:04] ---
    Shinichi's finally back today!
[00:06] ---
    But something's not quite right!
[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!
[01:45] ---
    A high school detective from Kansai,
    Hattori Heiji, suddenly appeared.
[01:51] ---
    Seems he wants to
    challenge me, Shinichi.
[01:54] ---
    Just then, a diplomat's
    wife showed up
[01:58] ---
    and asked for a background
    check of her son's girlfriend.
[02:01] ---
    At her home, we found the diplomat
    poisoned to death in his study!
[02:08] ---
    What's more, it was
    a locked room murder!
[02:11] ---
    Hattori finds evidence
    and figures out tricks,
[02:15] ---
    but my cold and the alcohol Hattori
[02:19] ---
    gave me caused me to collapse!
[02:22] ---
    But there's something
    not right about this fever!
[02:25] ---
    Something's wrong!
[02:28] ---
    I'm burning up!
[02:29] ---
    My heart feels like it's gonna burst!
[02:31] ---
    Well, Kudo?
[02:33] ---
    If you got any problems
    with my theory, show yourself!
[02:36] ---
    Better hurry before I solve it all!
[02:41] ---
    The Diplomat Murder Case (Part 2).
[02:47] ---
    So who...
[02:49] ---
    Who's the killer, Hattori-kun?!
[02:51] ---
    Not so fast!
[02:55] ---
    What's the deal, Kudo?
    Forfeiting the match?
[03:00] ---
    Fine by me...
[03:01] ---
    C'mon! Hurry!
[03:04] ---
    It'd take at least five or six minutes
[03:07] ---
    to kill the victim
    and pull off this trick.
[03:09] ---
    The murder took place in
[03:11] ---
    the thirty minutes between 3:30 and 4:00.
[03:15] ---
    The doctor's here!
[03:18] ---
    Conan-kun?
[03:20] ---
    His wife is in the clear,
[03:22] ---
    as she was with us the whole time.
[03:25] ---
    Similarly, the butler is in the clear,
[03:28] ---
    as he spoke with neighbors
[03:31] ---
    the whole time at the front door,
[03:34] ---
    and then greeted us all.
[03:37] ---
    Hey, where are you, Conan-kun?
[03:39] ---
    The son and girlfriend are suspicious,
[03:42] ---
    since they arrived before
    the wife and left when we arrived,
[03:47] ---
    but they were gone
    for only a minute or two.
[03:50] ---
    Not enough time.
[03:51] ---
    Where did Conan-kun run off to?
[03:55] ---
    Conan-kun! Where are you?
[03:59] ---
    Which leaves just the old man
[04:00] ---
    who arrived after 2:00 and
    watched TV in the next room over!
[04:10] ---
    I found proof in the
    Japanese-style room...
[04:13] ---
    ...the fishing line!
[04:14] ---
    This is the latest and
    strongest type of fishing line!
[04:20] ---
    You're a fisherman;
    don't pretend to play dumb!
[04:23] ---
    Plus, on our way to this room,
    we ran into you at the stairs...
[04:29] ---
    Please wait in the
    Japanese-style room.
[04:31] ---
    In short, you were in the
    Japanese-style room after the murder.
[04:37] ---
    The fact this fishing line was
    in the garbage is immutable proof!
[04:42] ---
    Conan-kun!
[04:43] ---
    Well?! Am I wrong?!
[04:45] ---
    Excuse me,
    but has Conan-kun been here?
[04:49] ---
    No...
[04:50] ---
    Old man!
[04:53] ---
    Yes. It was me...
[04:57] ---
    I win!
[04:59] ---
    I was the one who killed my son Isao--
[05:05] ---
    Nope, I'm afraid not.
[05:07] ---
    What?!
[05:14] ---
    You got it all wrong!
[05:17] ---
    Kudo!
[05:18] ---
    Shinichi...
[05:21] ---
    Shinichi...
[05:23] ---
    So this is Kudo...
    Kudo Shinichi!
[05:27] ---
    It's... It's really Shinichi...
[05:33] ---
    Shinichi...
[05:34] ---
    Where were you?!
[05:37] ---
    You suddenly disappear
    and then reappear!
[05:39] ---
    I was... I was so worried!
[05:42] ---
    Quit cryin, dummy.
[05:44] ---
    Gimme a break!
[05:45] ---
    She's right!
[05:47] ---
    You show up now and say I'm wrong?
[05:50] ---
    Are you suggesting
    my theory is faulty?!
[05:55] ---
    Hold on, Ran.
[05:56] ---
    Eh?
[05:58] ---
    You're sweating...
[06:00] ---
    It'll be over soon...
[06:03] ---
    Shinichi?
[06:08] ---
    What's wrong with my theory, Kudo?!
[06:13] ---
    The trick you just explained
    is armchair theory.
[06:16] ---
    It's 100% impossible!
[06:19] ---
    S-Say what?!
[06:21] ---
    Hold on, Kudo-kun.
[06:22] ---
    I hate to interrupt,
[06:24] ---
    but his locked room
    trick works perfectly!
[06:26] ---
    We even tested it
    out with my own pants!
[06:30] ---
    You take a needle-ended line,
[06:33] ---
    tape the other end to the key holder,
[06:37] ---
    and put the needle end through
    the pants pocket from the inside.
[06:41] ---
    Then you pull both ends
    outside the room, lock the door,
[06:47] ---
    and by pulling the needle end...
[06:52] ---
    ...the key will enter
    the pocket on its own!
[06:55] ---
    One last tug and the
    line breaks free of the tape.
[07:00] ---
    Then, by simply winding it up,
    the evidence disappears
[07:03] ---
    and creates a locked room!
[07:06] ---
    Is the key really in your pocket,
    Inspector Megure?
[07:10] ---
    I heard the key was in a
    double pocket in the victim's pants...
[07:16] ---
    Y-Yes...
[07:17] ---
    Of course it is!
[07:18] ---
    If you think we're lying,
    see for yourself!
[07:20] ---
    See?! It's in his double--
[07:26] ---
    That... can't be!
[07:29] ---
    I'm certain I put the line
    through his double pocket!
[07:33] ---
    It was because Inspector Megure
    was sitting when you put the key in.
[07:36] ---
    What?!
[07:38] ---
    Because he was sitting,
[07:39] ---
    the pocket folded
    and blocked the key's path,
[07:42] ---
    and the tape came off before
    it could get into the double pocket.
[07:48] ---
    Plus the victim was heavyset,
    just like Inspector Megure.
[07:52] ---
    Now that you mention it,
[07:54] ---
    when I put my hand
    in the victim's pocket...
[07:58] ---
    Damn, his pants are tight.
[08:01] ---
    But it could happen 1 in
    10,000-- no, 1 in 10 times!
[08:06] ---
    The result would always be the same.
[08:08] ---
    Recall the key's direction when
    it was in the victim's double pocket.
[08:15] ---
    The key's direction?
[08:20] ---
    Yes. Even if it did get in his
    double pocket 1 in 10,000 times,
[08:25] ---
    it would only be the key holder.
[08:27] ---
    The key couldn't possibly flip over
    to join the key holder in the pocket.
[08:34] ---
    The fact the key was fully inside
[08:37] ---
    means the killer put it in
    the double pocket beforehand.
[08:43] ---
    Then what about this
    needle-ended fishing line I found?!
[08:47] ---
    Another trap set by the killer
    to place the blame on the old man.
[08:53] ---
    I found a handful of
    others all throughout the house.
[08:59] ---
    The killer planted
    them in other rooms, too.
[09:02] ---
    So that it wouldn't matter where
    the old man was during the murder.
[09:06] ---
    But he admitted to the crime!
[09:11] ---
    He simply stepped
    into the killer's trap, knowingly.
[09:15] ---
    Though I don't know why.
[09:18] ---
    This room was completely locked!
[09:22] ---
    You're not suggesting it was suicide?!
[09:25] ---
    No, it wasn't suicide.
[09:26] ---
    Plus the killer's real trick is still here.
[09:31] ---
    Real trick?
[09:32] ---
    Have you forgotten?
[09:34] ---
    When you discovered the victim,
[09:36] ---
    an opera was playing in the room
[09:38] ---
    and there were books
    stacked next to the victim.
[09:41] ---
    The opera was to drown out
    the victim's possible screams
[09:43] ---
    after being poisoned with the needle.
[09:47] ---
    The books were to hide
    his possibly-contorted face.
[09:53] ---
    Yeah, right!
[09:55] ---
    Whose eyes and ears
    needed to be fooled?!
[09:58] ---
    Hattori... Yours!
[10:02] ---
    Say what?!
[10:04] ---
    Not just you.
[10:06] ---
    None of the others who came
    in with you noticed, either.
[10:12] ---
    Wait, you don't mean--!
[10:14] ---
    When you entered the study,
[10:16] ---
    the first one to approach the victim...
[10:23] ---
    Yes! The killer... was you!
[10:27] ---
    
[10:33] ---
    Yes! The killer...
[10:36] ---
    ...was you, Madam!
[10:39] ---
    She killed her husband?!
[10:41] ---
    You can't be serious!
[10:43] ---
    You mean the victim
    was still alive then?
[10:47] ---
    Yes. She had only knocked
    him out with drugs or something.
[10:52] ---
    Then she poisoned him with the
    needle when pretending to wake him.
[10:56] ---
    But it was only natural
    that no one noticed.
[10:59] ---
    If the sleeping drug and the
    poison were both powerful enough...
[11:04] ---
    ...the victim would die immediately
    after being pricked, as if asleep.
[11:08] ---
    She set up the opera
    and the books just in case.
[11:13] ---
    But if this sleeping
    drug turned up in an autopsy,
[11:18] ---
    this trick would've...
[11:19] ---
    No, we wouldn't know.
[11:21] ---
    We assumed he was
    dead before we entered.
[11:24] ---
    We only would've known he
    was knocked out before he was killed.
[11:30] ---
    In other words, this was a
    psychological locked room murder,
[11:35] ---
    based on our assumption that
    no one would ever invite a detective
[11:39] ---
    to a locked room
    and then kill someone in it!
[11:42] ---
    That what you wanna say, Kudo?
[11:44] ---
    Yeah...
[11:45] ---
    Then let's see some proof!
[11:48] ---
    Plus, I didn't see her
    pull out a poisoned needle!
[11:54] ---
    Yes. She took out the needle
[11:58] ---
    in a way that
    no one would notice.
[12:01] ---
    Together with her key!
[12:02] ---
    H-Her key?!
[12:04] ---
    Yeah. Her key holder is of
    the same design as the victim's.
[12:13] ---
    Naturally,
    hers should also split in two.
[12:16] ---
    Now then,
[12:18] ---
    please show us your key and
    the inside of your key holder!
[12:23] ---
    If you don't mind, Madam...
[12:31] ---
    W-What is this groove?!
[12:33] ---
    The poison needle was
    likely stored in it.
[12:36] ---
    She customized it so she could pull
    it out right after entering the room.
[12:42] ---
    In short, that very key holder
[12:45] ---
    is definitive proof
    that she is the killer!
[12:49] ---
    But why would she kill her husband?!
[12:53] ---
    If my hunch is correct,
[12:55] ---
    her motive is in this photograph.
[13:02] ---
    This is from when
    she was still young...
[13:05] ---
    Look closer, Inspector.
[13:07] ---
    Doesn't she look like someone?
[13:10] ---
    She looks just like Yukiko-san!
[13:15] ---
    That's absurd!
[13:16] ---
    See? Only her
    hair is a different color!
[13:19] ---
    Of course she looks like me.
[13:20] ---
    I'm... Yukiko's mother!
[13:25] ---
    Eh?!
[13:26] ---
    What?!
[13:27] ---
    T-That can't be!
[13:29] ---
    Then you had her
    with your husband, Isao-san?
[13:32] ---
    No. Yukiko is my daughter
    from my previous marriage.
[13:37] ---
    Yes! She's the daughter of
    Yamashiro Kenji, a diplomat outcast
[13:41] ---
    from society by my current husband
    Tsujimura Isao twenty years ago!
[13:48] ---
    Yamashiro Kenji?!
[13:50] ---
    Yes, the man who died
    in prison twenty years ago.
[13:53] ---
    Tsujimura's goal was to get rid of him,
[13:57] ---
    since he was a rival diplomat!
[14:00] ---
    And then to obtain me as his wife!
[14:03] ---
    My husband was arrested,
[14:06] ---
    and Yukiko was adopted by his family.
[14:09] ---
    Having hit rock bottom mentally,
[14:13] ---
    I... I broke up with my wife just for you.
[14:17] ---
    Tsujimura cajoled me,
[14:20] ---
    and I wound up
    wife to that devilish man!
[14:24] ---
    I realized it all when Takayoshi-*san
    *brought home a photo of Yukiko.
[14:31] ---
    At first, I thought it was just an
    uncanny resemblance, but Tsujimura...
[14:37] ---
    Never! I refuse to let him
    be with the daughter of that man!
[14:44] ---
    Shocked, I continued to press him,
[14:46] ---
    and he started to talk about how
    he framed Yamashiro for corruption.
[14:52] ---
    And that his father had assisted with it.
[14:57] ---
    I'm sorry, Kimie-san.
[15:00] ---
    I wasn't thinking
    straight back then...
[15:03] ---
    I see.
[15:04] ---
    You purposely took her bait
    to try to make up for your past...
[15:14] ---
    There is no use in
    pretending to be good, Father.
[15:17] ---
    Because he left this life as
    an innocent man who was framed.
[15:27] ---
    Takayoshi-san.
[15:28] ---
    Y-Yes?
[15:31] ---
    I know I'm not fit to say this now,
[15:36] ---
    but please take care of Yukiko.
[15:38] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[15:42] ---
    Ah. So she was
    harsh with her daughter
[15:46] ---
    so that she wouldn't realize.
[15:52] ---
    Hey, Kudo!
[15:52] ---
    Shinichi!
[15:53] ---
    Kudo!
[15:54] ---
    Are you okay, Shinichi?!
[15:56] ---
    Yeah, it's just my cold...
[15:59] ---
    But how'd you know all
    those details about the case?
[16:04] ---
    You had to have
    been spying from nearby...
[16:06] ---
    Get real. That kid with the
    glasses told me on the phone.
[16:11] ---
    You mean Conan-kun?!
[16:12] ---
    Yeah...
[16:14] ---
    Said there was a weird detective
    from Osaka and to come right away.
[16:18] ---
    S-S-So I finished up the case
    I was on, hopped on a train--
[16:24] ---
    Liar!
[16:26] ---
    He told me it's weird that you
    don't ask how I am on the phone!
[16:32] ---
    You were actually
    nearby, weren't you?
[16:34] ---
    I bet you were watching
    how worried I was and laughing!
[16:38] ---
    Hey, now, Ran!
[16:41] ---
    Why would you do that?!
[16:43] ---
    I'm this... this...
[16:48] ---
    Don't underestimate me, now.
[16:51] ---
    I'm a detective.
[16:53] ---
    I can tell plenty
    just from your voice.
[16:59] ---
    Shinichi! Hold on!
    I'll go get the doctor!
[17:05] ---
    So my reasoning was
    wrong from the very start...
[17:10] ---
    I lose in every which way this time.
[17:13] ---
    You're good, Kudo.
[17:14] ---
    Your logic's one level above mine.
[17:17] ---
    Don't be dumb.
[17:18] ---
    There's no winning, losing, above,
    or below when it comes to logic...
[17:25] ---
    After all...
    there's always only one truth...
[17:36] ---
    That's true.
[17:37] ---
    Guess I was so focused
    on our match that I lost my cool.
[17:44] ---
    Hey, Kudo!
    Are you sure it's just a cold?!
[17:47] ---
    Kudo!
[17:49] ---
    Hey, Kudo! You alright?!
[17:51] ---
    Hurry, Doctor!
[17:54] ---
    N-Not good...
[17:56] ---
    Hey, Kudo!
[17:57] ---
    My heart again!
[18:02] ---
    I'm burning up!
[18:05] ---
    It's like my bones are melting!
[18:08] ---
    Hey! Kudo!
[18:11] ---
    Don't tell me I'm turning back...
[18:14] ---
    After I finally returned to normal!
[18:17] ---
    Am I turning back into that kid...
    into Conan again?!
[18:23] ---
    Shinichi!
[18:25] ---
    R-Ran!
[18:26] ---
    You know you shouldn't
    be moving around!
[18:28] ---
    You're sick!
[18:30] ---
    Oh no! If I turn into Conan now,
[18:33] ---
    Ran will discover my identity...
[18:38] ---
    Shinichi!
[18:43] ---
    It's just his coat! Shinichi!
[18:48] ---
    Please! Don't make me turn back!
[18:51] ---
    At least let me tell Ran...
[18:53] ---
    Shinichi!
[18:54] ---
    ...with my real mouth
[18:56] ---
    and my real voice...
[18:59] ---
    ...just one last thing!
[19:09] ---
    Shinichi?!
[19:11] ---
    From in there?!
[19:14] ---
    Shinichi!
[19:20] ---
    Conan-kun?
[19:24] ---
    Where were you?! I looked all over!
    And where'd you get that shirt?
[19:27] ---
    Oh, I was all sweaty,
[19:29] ---
    so I borrowed this from that room...
[19:32] ---
    Say, have you seen Shinichi?
[19:34] ---
    Shinichi-niichan said he
    remembered a new case and...
[19:39] ---
    Eh?
[19:40] ---
    He changed clothes
    and went out the front door.
[19:43] ---
    That jerk!
[19:44] ---
    And he also said not to tell
    anyone he was involved with this case...
[19:55] ---
    H-Hey! Conan-kun!
[19:58] ---
    Conan-kun?!
[21:34] ---
    After that, I was in
    bed for three days straight.
[21:37] ---
    During that time,
    Hattori Heiji went back to Osaka,
[21:40] ---
    and thanks to my request
    to Ran right before I fainted,
[21:43] ---
    Kudo Shinichi's name
    didn't appear in the papers.
[21:47] ---
    Now the men in black who
    shrunk me won't find out I'm alive.
[21:56] ---
    But how did I turn back
    into my high school form?
[21:59] ---
    Wait a minute! As I recall,
    he showed up, and then...
[22:04] ---
    And then I drank that
    alcohol he brought!
[22:15] ---
    That's it!
[22:16] ---
    That's gotta be it!
[22:18] ---
    I turned back by drinking that alcohol!
[22:22] ---
    Alright! There's still a lot left!
[22:24] ---
    One drink caused that!
[22:26] ---
    If I drink this all,
    I can turn back completely!
[22:30] ---
    Hey, you!
[22:32] ---
    What're you drinking, Conan-kun?!
[22:35] ---
    Just as I thought! Alcohol!
[22:40] ---
    You know kids aren't
    supposed to drink alcohol!
[22:44] ---
    Don't be stupid!
    I'm a 2nd-year high schooler!
[22:47] ---
    Wait, that's still underage...
[22:49] ---
    Hurry and change your clothes.
[22:51] ---
    Huh?
[22:52] ---
    Your friends are here!
[22:56] ---
    Conan-kun!
[22:57] ---
    Conan!
[22:58] ---
    Conan-kun!
[22:59] ---
    Not you guys again...
[23:02] ---
    We were so worried!
[23:04] ---
    You were sick for three days!
[23:06] ---
    You're so lucky you could skip school.
[23:10] ---
    Maybe I'll catch a cold, too!
[23:11] ---
    You'll never catch a cold, Genta-kun!
[23:14] ---
    Why's that?
[23:15] ---
    It's like they say,
    "Stupid people don't catch--"
[23:17] ---
    It's good that you're
    back to normal now!
[23:20] ---
    Man, I'm back to how I was...
[23:25] ---
    So why do we have
    to go to the library now?
[23:28] ---
    You're the only one who hasn't
    turned in a book report for class!
[23:34] ---
    So we figured we'd help you out! Right?
[23:37] ---
    Yeah!
[23:37] ---
    Yeah!
[23:39] ---
    Whatever. Genta and Mitsuhiko
    are just sticking with Ayumi-chan...
[23:45] ---
    But I guess I should go with 'em.
[23:48] ---
    Once I drink that alcohol and
    turn back into a high school student,
[23:51] ---
    I might never get to
    hang out with them again...
[24:01] ---
    Actually, Tamada-san has
    been missing since two nights ago.
[24:11] ---
    I-Idiot! Don't turn the lights on!
[24:23] ---
    That's it! I know where
    the body is hidden!
[24:26] ---
    On the next Conan--
[24:27] ---
    "The Library Murder Case."
[24:46] ---
    Next Conan's Hint:
[24:48] ---
    Backwards Book.
[24:51] ---
    Is next episode Conan's last case?
[24:53] ---
    The Detective Boys are immortal.
