**[00:01] ---**
As times change,
difficult cases will increase in number!
**[00:04] ---**
Today's stage is a golf range!
**[00:06] ---**
A nice shot, full of bloodlust!
**[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!
**[01:47] ---**
"The Golf Range Murder Case."
**[01:52] ---**
"Beika Golf Garden"
**[02:03] ---**
Off it goes!
**[02:10] ---**
I don't think he
and golf mix well...
**[02:13] ---**
Yeah, he says he's not good
at any sports that use equipment.
**[02:18] ---**
Then he should've said no...
**[02:21] ---**
The reason he picked up golf
**[02:24] ---**
was a phone call from
Nichiuri TV three days ago.
**[02:28] ---**
Huh? Pro-amateur
charity golf tournament?
**[02:32] ---**
I'm sorry, but golf's not really my--
**[02:36] ---**
What?! Okino Yoko recommended me?!
**[02:39] ---**
Yoko-*chan*'s entering?!
**[02:41] ---**
I'll do it! I may not look like it,
**[02:44] ---**
but I'm actually a golf master!
**[02:49] ---**
Still...
**[02:53] ---**
...just because
early morning is cheaper,
**[02:56] ---**
6:30 is too early!
**[02:58] ---**
Especially when
you're dragging us along!
**[03:04] ---**
Well, then! Let's work up
another good sweat today!
**[03:08] ---**
Yes, it's perfect exercise
just before work!
**[03:11] ---**
Thanks to you,
my health's gotten much better!
**[03:15] ---**
Oh? I bet so!
**[03:20] ---**
"Reserved"
**[03:30] ---**
What? Your stomach hurts?!
What a wet blanket!
**[03:33] ---**
Just go to the bathroom already!
**[03:52] ---**
Strike three, you're out!
**[03:54] ---**
When is one gonna make it to the stands?
**[04:05] ---**
I'm gonna go watch the other people!
**[04:07] ---**
--Don't bother them, now.
--I won't!
**[04:14] ---**
--Sir. You can have mine.
--Oh, thanks.
**[04:17] ---**
What a brown-noser...
**[04:20] ---**
Little boy. You should stay away,
it's dangerous here.
**[04:22] ---**
This is far enough away, isn't it?
**[04:26] ---**
Hey.
**[04:28] ---**
Be sure to write off his driver
repair as a section expense!
**[04:32] ---**
Yes, I know.
**[04:46] ---**
See? I told you it was dangerous...
**[04:49] ---**
No kidding...
**[05:11] ---**
Nice shot!
**[05:12] ---**
That one really flew!
**[05:15] ---**
You have Sunday's farewell
contest in the bag!
**[05:20] ---**
Yes!
**[05:29] ---**
That guy's done already?
**[05:31] ---**
He hit them at
a pretty quick pace...
**[05:35] ---**
Plus he gave some of
his golf balls to his boss.
**[05:40] ---**
What an obvious suck-up.
**[05:53] ---**
Nice shot!
**[05:57] ---**
Here's your driver.
**[06:14] ---**
Damn you!
**[06:16] ---**
C'mon!
**[06:18] ---**
--Another miss?
--Yep. Twenty in a row...
**[06:40] ---**
What happened?!
**[06:44] ---**
--Sir!
- -Stop! Don't touch him!
**[06:49] ---**
He's dead...
**[06:51] ---**
--Ran! Call Inspector Megure!
--Right!
**[06:55] ---**
What on earth happened?!
**[06:57] ---**
It was most likely a bomb that exploded.
**[07:00] ---**
A bomb?!
**[07:04] ---**
This unique acrid smell...
Black powder!
**[07:11] ---**
Chief!
**[07:12] ---**
Call the police!
**[07:13] ---**
No, there's a hospital
just down the street!
**[07:16] ---**
Oh! You're injured, too!
**[07:19] ---**
I'm fine! But we gotta
get him to the hospital!
**[07:22] ---**
Understood!
**[07:32] ---**
The deceased is Director
Tachibana of Itsui Electronics...
**[07:36] ---**
And who are you?
**[07:38] ---**
I'm Yasui, the section manager,
**[07:41] ---**
and this is Okubo and Minami.
**[07:43] ---**
We all work under Director Tachibana
in Product Development.
**[07:48] ---**
Do you come here often?
**[07:51] ---**
Yes, as it's close to the office.
**[07:54] ---**
But today was the director's last day.
**[07:56] ---**
His last day?
**[07:58] ---**
He was going to be promoted
to head of the New York branch.
**[08:04] ---**
Inspector. It appears it was
black powder that was used.
**[08:09] ---**
And please come over here.
**[08:13] ---**
This is a fragment of the driver head.
**[08:17] ---**
And these are all ball fragments...
**[08:21] ---**
...but look at this.
**[08:23] ---**
What's this?
**[08:25] ---**
It appears to be a fuse.
**[08:27] ---**
In other words...
**[08:28] ---**
...the bomb was inside the ball,
**[08:32] ---**
and set to explode when he hit it.
**[08:37] ---**
Precisely.
**[08:43] ---**
Tell me, do all the golf balls
here have red lines on them?
**[08:47] ---**
No, blue lines.
**[08:49] ---**
Blue lines?
**[08:52] ---**
There are some there.
**[08:54] ---**
I see. They have single blue lines.
**[08:59] ---**
Which means the red,
crossed lines mark the bomb ball.
**[09:06] ---**
The question is, was this meant
specifically for Director Tachibana,
**[09:10] ---**
or was it a random act of terrorism...
**[09:13] ---**
I think it was meant for him specifically.
**[09:17] ---**
Oh? Why is that?
**[09:19] ---**
Because all three of us here
hated him enough to kill him.
**[09:28] ---**
Come again?!
**[09:29] ---**
W-What are you talking about, Minami?!
**[09:31] ---**
That's true.
**[09:33] ---**
We both had plenty of reason to kill him.
**[09:36] ---**
He had already taken credit
for three of my product ideas,
**[09:42] ---**
and he always ignored you, no matter
how many good ideas you had.
**[09:48] ---**
N-Not me! I had no
problems with the director!
**[09:51] ---**
Drop the act.
**[09:54] ---**
We all know he stole your
girlfriend a long time ago!
**[09:59] ---**
N-No! She didn't get stolen!
She dumped me!
**[10:04] ---**
That's it! I know who killed
Director Tachibana, Inspector!
**[10:09] ---**
You do, Mori-*kun*?!
**[10:11] ---**
Yes! First is the M.O...
**[10:14] ---**
The killer mixed the bomb ball
with other balls in the machine,
**[10:19] ---**
so that the victim would hit it!
**[10:23] ---**
The question then is,
**[10:25] ---**
who got the golf balls
for Director Tachibana?
**[10:31] ---**
That was this Okubo person.
**[10:40] ---**
Meanwhile, Minami-*san
*was in the restroom,
**[10:44] ---**
and the Yasui guy
was at his own machine.
**[10:46] ---**
So it was you!
**[10:49] ---**
The kid's right, neither me nor Minami
**[10:51] ---**
touched the director's basket!
**[10:54] ---**
No one else could've put
the bomb ball in there but you!
**[10:58] ---**
But that's not necessarily the case.
**[11:02] ---**
There's no question that Minami-*san*
**[11:04] ---**
was far away from the victim.
**[11:07] ---**
But not you, Yasui-*san*.
**[11:11] ---**
I hear you shared some of
your golf balls with the victim.
**[11:17] ---**
T-That was...
**[11:19] ---**
In other words,
**[11:20] ---**
you could have put
the bomb ball in there.
**[11:25] ---**
W-Wait!
If I did put it in there,
**[11:30] ---**
I could've died in the explosion too!
**[11:35] ---**
The machines use a queue system;
**[11:38] ---**
the last balls in
are the last ones out.
**[11:43] ---**
And you finished hitting
before Tachibana-*san*.
**[11:48] ---**
Could that've been so you would finish
**[11:51] ---**
before he hit the bomb ball?
**[11:54] ---**
No! I just have a
habit of hitting quickly!
**[11:58] ---**
Isn't that right, Okubo?! Minami?!
**[12:03] ---**
Then one other thing...
**[12:04] ---**
Where were you during the explosion?
**[12:08] ---**
At this point, Okubo-*san
*can also be removed as a suspect.
**[12:12] ---**
The reason being that he was
caught in the blast, as was Minami-*san*.
**[12:19] ---**
But I believe you were by the entrance.
**[12:24] ---**
T-That was...
**[12:26] ---**
Was it because you saw the
red-lined ball come up and took cover?
**[12:34] ---**
No! I went to order coffee!
**[12:38] ---**
Coffee?
**[12:39] ---**
Yes! The director liked to
drink coffee after he finished hitting!
**[12:46] ---**
So I always went and ordered
it ten minutes before he finished!
**[12:53] ---**
He's telling the truth.
**[12:55] ---**
We brew our coffee from beans,
**[12:57] ---**
so he always asks ahead of time.
**[13:03] ---**
But it seems a bit too convenient
that you were gone when it blew up.
**[13:13] ---**
In other words,
**[13:14] ---**
you think Yasui-*san* did it?
**[13:16] ---**
That's right!
**[13:17] ---**
There's no question about it!
**[13:19] ---**
You can't be serious!
**[13:21] ---**
I'm not the killer! Honest!
**[13:23] ---**
Yasui-*san*. Just to be sure,
may we check your things?
**[13:28] ---**
Y-Yes, that's fine...
**[13:33] ---**
The old man's logic so far
has been unusually consistent.
**[13:37] ---**
But if Yasui-*san
*really was the killer...
**[13:43] ---**
Inspector! I found this in his bag!
**[13:46] ---**
This is--!
**[13:48] ---**
T-That's impossible!
**[13:50] ---**
This is immutable proof!
**[13:52] ---**
You had a backup
ready in case of a dud!
**[13:57] ---**
No! I didn't put that there!
**[13:59] ---**
Boy, what an incredibly
simple case this was!
**[14:04] ---**
For the great Mori Kogoro,
**[14:07] ---**
it was truly a piece of cake!
**[14:12] ---**
This is way too simple.
**[14:14] ---**
Did Yasui-*san* not care if he got
caught for killing Director Tachibana?
**[14:19] ---**
No... There's something we're overlooking!
**[14:24] ---**
Something not even I noticed!
**[14:29] ---**
Huh? There's a ball on the tee...
**[14:31] ---**
Guess the old man missed it again!
**[14:36] ---**
Wait! I'm pretty sure I--
**[14:42] ---**
I just assumed the old man
hit the ball into a metal post.
**[14:48] ---**
But he didn't...
**[14:50] ---**
Then what was that sound?
**[15:04] ---**
Smells like explosives.
**[15:06] ---**
Which means this was
the ball Director Tachibana hit,
**[15:10] ---**
and that metallic
sound was when it hit a post.
**[15:15] ---**
Then what were
those bomb ball fragments?
**[15:19] ---**
That's it!
**[15:20] ---**
This is a trick the killer set!
**[15:22] ---**
The real culprit is someone else!
**[15:25] ---**
**[15:29] ---**
We can talk down at the station.
**[15:31] ---**
Oh no! I have to hurry!
**[15:36] ---**
Alright! The usual method!
**[15:43] ---**
Inspector! Please believe me!
**[15:46] ---**
I'm not the killer, honest!
**[15:49] ---**
That's right, you're
not the killer, Yasui-*san*.
**[15:53] ---**
Dad?!
**[15:55] ---**
Assuming the explosion happened
when the victim hit a bomb ball
**[16:01] ---**
was a mistake from the very start!
**[16:03] ---**
What are you saying, Mori-*kun*?!
**[16:05] ---**
We found a ball fragment
with a fuse at the scene!
**[16:09] ---**
Yes, we did. But Inspector,
take a look at this.
**[16:14] ---**
I found that ball by a
metal post at the far end net.
**[16:18] ---**
It's not much, but it
should smell of explosives.
**[16:22] ---**
Yes, indeed.
**[16:23] ---**
When the bomb went off,
**[16:26] ---**
Tachibana-*san* had hit
not the red ball,
**[16:28] ---**
but that one with a blue stripe.
**[16:33] ---**
H-Hold on, now!
**[16:34] ---**
I don't get what you're saying!
**[16:37] ---**
The killer didn't place the bomb
ball in Tachibana-*san*'s machine;
**[16:42] ---**
he planted it inside
the driver head beforehand!
**[16:45] ---**
Eh?!
**[16:47] ---**
This is where the killer was crafty.
**[16:51] ---**
If there were fragments
left over after the explosion,
**[16:55] ---**
everyone would simply
assume it was the ball that blew up.
**[17:03] ---**
Yes! After the explosion,
**[17:06] ---**
the killer set down a
pre-prepared fragment
**[17:08] ---**
when given the opportunity!
**[17:10] ---**
B-But that would mean the killer...
**[17:13] ---**
Yasui-*san*. I believe you mentioned
the director's driver repair fees?
**[17:20] ---**
Yes. The shaft had a crack in it,
so I had Minami send it for repairs.
**[17:25] ---**
Minami! You--!
**[17:29] ---**
Minami-*san*.
**[17:30] ---**
Where did you have the driver repaired?
**[17:32] ---**
Oh, with us.
**[17:34] ---**
We also do club repair here.
**[17:36] ---**
In what way did you repair it?
**[17:39] ---**
I felt it best to turn it
into a carbon shaft club.
**[17:48] ---**
That club was given to the director
by the current CEO fifteen years ago.
**[17:53] ---**
So the director
was very attached to it...
**[17:56] ---**
So it was an old-fashioned wood head?
**[18:00] ---**
So, when did you return
the repaired club to Minami-*san*?
**[18:03] ---**
I returned it to him two nights ago.
**[18:06] ---**
Two nights ago?!
**[18:08] ---**
But you gave it to
the director this morning!
**[18:12] ---**
Meaning the driver was in your
possession for an entire day and night.
**[18:21] ---**
Let us look back at your actions today.
**[18:25] ---**
Immediately after arriving here...
**[18:27] ---**
What? Your stomach hurts?!
What a wet blanket!
**[18:30] ---**
Just go to the bathroom already!
**[18:34] ---**
That was just one
of the steps of his plan.
**[18:40] ---**
Did you perhaps usually have
Minami-*san* get your golf balls
**[18:46] ---**
and have him put ten or so in
Director Tachibana's own machine?
**[18:51] ---**
T-That's right...
**[18:53] ---**
This time, he purposely said his
stomach hurt and fled to the restroom
**[18:59] ---**
to pass that role onto you.
**[19:02] ---**
Moreover, he planned to narrow
down the suspects to just you,
**[19:07] ---**
by having you be away from
the scene the instant of the explosion.
**[19:11] ---**
He managed this by giving him the driver
**[19:16] ---**
just as you left for coffee.
**[19:24] ---**
On top of that,
**[19:25] ---**
to completely clear
himself of suspicion,
**[19:29] ---**
he stood nearby so that he
would get caught in the explosion.
**[19:35] ---**
Inspector.
**[19:36] ---**
Think about where Minami-*san* was injured.
**[19:39] ---**
Okubo-*san* received injuries
to almost his entire body,
**[19:43] ---**
yet he only received injuries
outside his left elbow and leg.
**[19:48] ---**
Why his left side?
**[19:50] ---**
Why outside, and not inside?
**[19:53] ---**
It's because moments
before the explosion,
**[19:55] ---**
he quickly covered his eyes
**[19:58] ---**
with his left arm
and hid behind a pillar.
**[20:05] ---**
Minami-*san*.
**[20:07] ---**
Today was the last chance
you had to kill Director Tachibana,
**[20:12] ---**
as he was about
to move to New York.
**[20:15] ---**
But wasn't using the driver only
you could've had in the last two days
**[20:22] ---**
as the murder weapon
a bit careless on your part?
**[20:27] ---**
I've always hated the director.
**[20:31] ---**
The director who would
never acknowledge my skill,
**[20:34] ---**
and Manager Yasui, who never
did anything but suck up to him...
**[20:39] ---**
So I plotted to kill the director
and have him take the fall.
**[20:45] ---**
And you didn't care if anyone
else died in the explosion?!
**[20:50] ---**
Had this golf range been crowded,
even more people would've--
**[20:54] ---**
I don't give a damn about that.
**[21:02] ---**
Alright, let's go.
**[21:11] ---**
--Do you think he really meant that?
--Conan-*kun*!
**[21:15] ---**
After all, he...
**[21:17] ---**
Little boy. You should stay away,
it's dangerous here.
**[21:20] ---**
I think he said that so I wouldn't
get caught in the explosion!
**[21:25] ---**
Yeah.
**[21:26] ---**
Who knows, he might've actually
been a nice person who lost his way.
**[21:36] ---**
Conan-*kun*!
**[21:37] ---**
W-We're late for school!
**[23:10] ---**
"1st Annual Nichiuri TV Pro-Amateur
Charity Golf Tournament"
**[23:19] ---**
Yoko-*chan*! Nice shot!
**[23:23] ---**
The following Sunday,
**[23:24] ---**
the old man entered
the golf tournament
**[23:27] ---**
on the condition that
he be on Okino Yoko's team.
**[23:31] ---**
Yoko-*chan* was a bit unsteady,
but it was a nice shot!
**[23:35] ---**
Next up is the famous detective,
Mori Kogoro-*san*!
**[23:38] ---**
Mori-*san*! You can do it!
**[23:42] ---**
Leave it to me!
**[23:44] ---**
--Is Dad gonna be alright?
--Of course not.
**[23:53] ---**
Yikes...
**[23:57] ---**
Gimme a break!
**[24:02] ---**
The Kiri Tengu?!
**[24:06] ---**
He's the killer, no question about it!
**[24:11] ---**
The next episode of Conan is
**[24:13] ---**
"The Legendary Kiri Tengu Murders!"
**[24:31] ---**
Next Conan's hint!
**[24:34] ---**
Cherry blossoms!
**[24:36] ---**
Next episode is a 60-minute special!
**[24:38] ---**
It starts at 7PM.
**[24:41] ---**
