**[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.
