[00:00] ---
    As long as modern-day
    crimes involve people,
[00:03] ---
    there are no
    unsolvable mysteries!
[00:05] ---
    The stage today
    is a first-class hotel!
[00:07] ---
    I found the mysterious organization!
[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!
[01:51] ---
    The Game Company Murder Case
[01:51] ---
    The Game Company Murder Case.
[01:57] ---
    Baker Hotel
[01:57] ---
    Your dad supervised a game?
[01:59] ---
    That's right!
[02:00] ---
    It's titled, "Detective Kogoro
    Mori's House of Reasoning!"
[02:04] ---
    The player encounters a dead
    body in a mysterious mansion,
[02:07] ---
    and gets hints from Detective Mori
    who just happens to be there
[02:10] ---
    to solve the case!
[02:15] ---
    That's practically the pattern
    with me every time...
[02:19] ---
    But is it okay for
    their guest to be like that?
[02:26] ---
    This is what you get for
    drinking so much last night
[02:28] ---
    for your "pre-celebration"!
[02:30] ---
    I only had five or six drinks...
[02:33] ---
    Gin, vodka, bourbon...
[02:36] ---
    Gin and Vodka...
[02:38] ---
    Those are the codenames
    for the men in black
[02:41] ---
    who shrunk me!
[02:44] ---
    What long lines!
[02:46] ---
    Of course they are!
[02:48] ---
    Almost everyone in
    the gaming industry is here!
[02:52] ---
    Mori-san!
[02:54] ---
    It's me! Nakajima from Mantendo!
[02:57] ---
    I planned "Detective Kogoro
    Mori's House of Reasoning!"
[03:01] ---
    Thanks to you, we've
    produced an amazing game!
[03:05] ---
    You definitely excel
    at your work, Nakajima.
[03:08] ---
    Assuming you
    really did plan that game.
[03:11] ---
    Ueda!
[03:13] ---
    I shouldn't have told you
    that the game would do well
[03:16] ---
    if we used Detective Mori.
[03:18] ---
    Three days later, your proposal
    just happened to highlight that idea,
[03:22] ---
    and voila, here you are.
[03:24] ---
    You're a genius at
    stealing people's things!
[03:27] ---
    Work, women...
[03:29] ---
    Isn't that right, Takeshita?
[03:30] ---
    Yeah...
[03:32] ---
    But that was back
    in college. It's in the past.
[03:37] ---
    Well, I'll overlook it this time.
[03:40] ---
    After all, you seem to be in trouble
    with the debt-collectors and all.
[03:46] ---
    Here's the number
    tag for your luggage!
[03:49] ---
    96.
[03:52] ---
    Hey, we're really late!
[03:54] ---
    What?!
[03:55] ---
    We need to hurry to the
    show floor and get things ready!
[03:59] ---
    Check this in first!
[04:00] ---
    Mine too!
[04:02] ---
    Hey, don't cut in line!
[04:03] ---
    You should hurry too, you know!
[04:06] ---
    The president will
    yell at you if you're late!
[04:08] ---
    You have a point...
[04:10] ---
    Please try not to mix ours up.
[04:12] ---
    All three of you
    have the same briefcase!
[04:15] ---
    Yes. And it's not just
    our briefcases--
[04:17] ---
    ...our necktie pins
    and wristwatches too.
[04:19] ---
    It's was the company president's idea
[04:21] ---
    to give ordinary people an
    impression of our company.
[04:24] ---
    But in actuality, the briefcases
    are way too big and heavy.
[04:28] ---
    We brought them today,
[04:30] ---
    but almost everyone in the
    company has left them here.
[04:32] ---
    The president's probably the
    only guy lugging one around!
[04:40] ---
    Well, excuse me.
[04:41] ---
    Sir!
[04:42] ---
    Get to your posts!
[04:44] ---
    Yes! Right away!
[04:49] ---
    Despicable...
[04:50] ---
    Here's your number tag!
[04:52] ---
    Thanks!
[04:53] ---
    How lucky!
[04:55] ---
    Look, Conan-kun!
    Our tag number is 100 exactly!
[04:59] ---
    Maybe today's our lucky day!
[05:02] ---
    She's easily excited...
[05:09] ---
    Ahh! Stop!
[05:11] ---
    How do you like this?!
[05:16] ---
    I did it! I came from behind to win!
[05:19] ---
    Great job, Ran-chan!
[05:20] ---
    Very few people
    can pull that move off!
[05:23] ---
    Eh? Really?!
[05:25] ---
    She might be lucky, after all...
[05:30] ---
    So close! It really lights up
    if you get over 250...
[05:34] ---
    Hey, Nakajima!
[05:36] ---
    Will you come give this a try?
[05:38] ---
    Sure.
[05:42] ---
    It looks like Nakajima-san's going to try!
[05:48] ---
    Wow! Have you
    ever practiced anything?
[05:52] ---
    A little boxing
    during my college days.
[05:55] ---
    Why don't you give it a shot, Ran-san?
[05:57] ---
    No, that's okay...
[05:59] ---
    It's a good stress-reliever!
[06:02] ---
    Stress?
[06:05] ---
    Get back here now, Shinichi!
[06:13] ---
    Want to try, Conan-kun?
[06:15] ---
    I need to use the bathroom!
[06:17] ---
    Then let's go together, little boy.
[06:19] ---
    I believe the restrooms are--
[06:25] ---
    He's huge!
[06:31] ---
    Does he work at
    the game company too?
[06:34] ---
    I don't know.
    I've never seen him before.
[06:36] ---
    All three of you were in the
    same boxing club during college?
[06:41] ---
    Yeah.
[06:41] ---
    Until he quit
    halfway through, anyway.
[06:45] ---
    Ueda...
[06:46] ---
    But to think we would all
    wind up in the same company...
[06:51] ---
    Number 98.
[06:55] ---
    That's the logo for
    Nakajima-san's company.
[07:00] ---
    Thank you!
[07:02] ---
    But that's strange.
[07:03] ---
    He should have the company's
    necktie pin if he's an employee...
[07:11] ---
    Anyway, I should buy the old man
[07:13] ---
    some tomato
    juice for his hangover...
[07:19] ---
    It's me, Tequila.
[07:22] ---
    The deal's done.
[07:24] ---
    Don't worry, Vodka.
[07:27] ---
    Pass the word on to Gin.
[07:31] ---
    This guy's one of the men in black!
[07:36] ---
    Just a kid. He dropped some change.
[07:39] ---
    I finally found you!
[07:42] ---
    Hey, Mister! Could you move your leg?
[07:45] ---
    I can't get my 10-yen coin...
[07:47] ---
    Don't touch me, boy!
[07:53] ---
    Alright!
[07:54] ---
    I stuck a hidden microphone
    and transmitter onto his shoe sole!
[07:57] ---
    He'll lead me to the others!
[08:02] ---
    To Gin and Vodka!
[08:05] ---
    Huh? It won't open...
[08:07] ---
    A door?
[08:08] ---
    Is this empty?
[08:10] ---
    A restroom stall?
[08:19] ---
    Wait! Little boy!
[08:24] ---
    That big man
    was wearing this shoe!
[08:27] ---
    He was in the explosion!
[08:30] ---
    Little boy! It's dangerous here!
[08:31] ---
    Hurry outside!
[08:33] ---
    I had finally found
    a clue leading to them!
[08:37] ---
    Why did this have to happen?!
[08:40] ---
    A terrorist attack?
[08:41] ---
    My guess is that the
    explosives were attached
[08:44] ---
    to the toilet or something else.
[08:47] ---
    A random murder...
[08:49] ---
    There was one victim.
[08:51] ---
    Any idea who it was?
[08:52] ---
    All that's left are shreds...
[08:55] ---
    Did any of you see
    anybody suspicious?
[08:59] ---
    No...
[09:00] ---
    Not really...
[09:01] ---
    I did!
[09:04] ---
    I saw the guy who died!
[09:06] ---
    You did, Conan-kun?!
[09:08] ---
    He was a really big man!
[09:10] ---
    He might have been
    from western Japan...
[09:13] ---
    You saw him too, Nakajima-san!
[09:16] ---
    The big man in black clothes
    we bumped into in the lobby!
[09:20] ---
    Oh, him...
[09:22] ---
    How do you know he
    was from western Japan?
[09:24] ---
    I heard his accent in the
    bathroom right before he died:
[09:28] ---
    "Huh? It won't open. Is this empty?"
[09:32] ---
    He must've been
    talking about a restroom stall!
[09:36] ---
    In that case, the explosives must
    have been set near the stall door.
[09:40] ---
    Excuse me...
[09:43] ---
    Company president!
[09:44] ---
    President?
[09:46] ---
    Yes. I'm Mantendo's president, Ishikawa.
[09:49] ---
    I actually received a
    strange letter three days ago.
[09:54] ---
    A strange letter...
[09:57] ---
    "Cancel the show or else."
    This is a threat letter!
[10:00] ---
    Why didn't you contact the
    police the minute you received this?!
[10:03] ---
    I apologize. I thought it was
    an ordinary harassment letter.
[10:08] ---
    Inspector. We found this in the debris.
[10:12] ---
    The key makes sense,
    but what's this round thing?
[10:15] ---
    That's my company's emblem.
[10:19] ---
    Come to think of it, that big
    man had one of those briefcases.
[10:23] ---
    But why did he have it?
[10:26] ---
    He took it from the
    baggage counter, but...
[10:28] ---
    What tremendous power!
    It bent this piece of iron!
[10:33] ---
    What?!
[10:34] ---
    There's something strange
    about that emblem!
[10:36] ---
    Why is it bent away
    from the briefcase?!
[10:39] ---
    If the explosion happened
    outside the case,
[10:41] ---
    it should be bent inward!
[10:43] ---
    This was no terrorist attack!
    It was a murder!
[10:46] ---
    Somebody wanted that man dead!
[10:48] ---
    Yes. The bomber is the
    one who gave him the briefcase!
[10:53] ---
    The deal probably took place there--
[10:55] ---
    --the best place to make an
    exchange without arousing suspicion
[10:58] ---
    by switching number tags!
[11:00] ---
    The baggage counter!
[11:02] ---
    No, nobody else has claimed
    their things except for that large man...
[11:08] ---
    Which means that the other person
    hasn't come to claim the other bag!
[11:12] ---
    Great!
[11:13] ---
    There still might be clues
    leading to Gin and Vodka!
[11:20] ---
    Where do you think you're going?
[11:22] ---
    I need to see the Inspector!
[11:24] ---
    No way. He's busy right now.
[11:27] ---
    Let me go before
    the bomber gets away!
[11:30] ---
    If that happens, then their--
[11:32] ---
    Ran...
[11:33] ---
    Where were you?!
[11:36] ---
    You're hurt...
[11:38] ---
    What on earth happened?
[11:43] ---
    100 and 96...
[11:45] ---
    Those are the number tags for
    our things at the baggage counter.
[11:48] ---
    100 is mine, and 96 is Dad's.
[11:52] ---
    He's still not doing well,
    so I'm holding his for him.
[11:56] ---
    If I remember right,
    that man's tag number was--
[12:00] ---
    Number 98.
[12:03] ---
    Which means the
    other person in the deal
[12:06] ---
    cut in between
    the old man and Ran!
[12:08] ---
    It was those three!
[12:10] ---
    That big man exchanged tags,
    and completed the deal.
[12:14] ---
    And then the instant he opened
    the briefcase to check its contents...
[12:20] ---
    Wait.
[12:21] ---
    If the goal was to
    kill him from the very start,
[12:24] ---
    why did they choose
    this place to make the deal?
[12:28] ---
    If an incident happens
    at your own trade show,
[12:31] ---
    you could make yourself
    suspect if you're not careful.
[12:34] ---
    Yet they knew for a fact that
    he would check the briefcase...
[12:38] ---
    And the fact that the key doesn't
    match the briefcase bothers me.
[12:43] ---
    Wait! Could I have
    made a really big mistake!
[12:47] ---
    Number 38.
[12:49] ---
    Number 56.
[12:53] ---
    Looks like nobody
    knew who that large man was...
[12:56] ---
    Nope. And nobody saw
    anybody suspicious, either.
[13:01] ---
    Number 99, right?
[13:03] ---
    Yes!
[13:04] ---
    Number 97.
[13:07] ---
    Here.
[13:08] ---
    Number 124.
[13:10] ---
    Here.
[13:13] ---
    What?
[13:14] ---
    No, nothing.
[13:16] ---
    Hey, you guys should
    check your briefcases.
[13:19] ---
    They all look the same, after all.
[13:21] ---
    No, that's alright.
[13:23] ---
    There's nothing
    important inside, anyway.
[13:25] ---
    Wait a minute! Could this be...
    Now I see! So that's how it was!
[13:32] ---
    In the eyes of the killer,
    this was an unexpected murder!
[13:36] ---
    
[13:41] ---
    Alright, folks.
[13:43] ---
    You can go home for today,
[13:45] ---
    but if anyone recalls seeing someone
[13:47] ---
    who might have been the bomber,
[13:49] ---
    please contact me at
    the police headquarters!
[13:52] ---
    This is bad!
[13:53] ---
    If they let everyone leave now,
    we'll never know who did it!
[13:58] ---
    Darn it!
[13:59] ---
    I have an idea who
    the bomber might be,
[14:01] ---
    but I'm still not sure!
[14:03] ---
    I have no choice.
[14:04] ---
    I'll have to use the
    old man's voice and body
[14:06] ---
    to lay a trap!
[14:10] ---
    It hit Ran in the butt!
[14:12] ---
    Are you alright, Dad?
[14:14] ---
    Hey. Do you still got my number tag?
[14:19] ---
    Why isn't Ran getting sleepy?
[14:22] ---
    Don't worry,
    I have it here in my pocket.
[14:25] ---
    Oh, it hit the tag...
[14:28] ---
    But I only have one sleeping dart!
[14:31] ---
    Let's get our stuff
    and go home already...
[14:34] ---
    Alright.
[14:36] ---
    Pervert!
[14:40] ---
    Don't tell me that was you...
[14:42] ---
    It was lint! There was some
    lint on your bottom, so--
[14:46] ---
    You really should put
    your leg down now...
[14:50] ---
    Dad!
[14:52] ---
    Are you alright?!
[14:54] ---
    I'm fine, Ran.
[14:56] ---
    You just helped
    me realize something.
[14:58] ---
    Realize something?
[14:59] ---
    Inspector Megure.
[15:02] ---
    You can't let the
    people leave just yet.
[15:05] ---
    You can't be serious!
[15:07] ---
    We're dealing with a random bomber!
[15:09] ---
    There could be more bombs!
[15:12] ---
    A random bomber?
[15:14] ---
    There were never any
    bombs planted in this hotel.
[15:18] ---
    That bomb was planted
    in that man's belongings
[15:21] ---
    in order to specifically kill him.
[15:24] ---
    Do you wish to let them go,
[15:27] ---
    even though the
    bomber is among them?
[15:30] ---
    What? You know who did it?!
[15:34] ---
    If we check the
    contents of something,
[15:38] ---
    the person responsible
    will admit to doing it.
[15:41] ---
    The contents of what?
[15:42] ---
    That would be--
[15:44] ---
    Nakajima-san.
[15:45] ---
    The contents of that briefcase
    you've been holding so importantly!
[15:51] ---
    Let us see what's inside.
[15:53] ---
    No, you can't!
[15:55] ---
    You idiot! Do you want
    to look like the murderer?!
[15:58] ---
    Show them!
[15:59] ---
    Let go!
[16:00] ---
    Stop!
[16:03] ---
    Takeshita!
[16:08] ---
    Now there's no doubt about it.
[16:10] ---
    Takeshita-san. You're the bomber.
[16:14] ---
    How so, Mori-kun?!
[16:17] ---
    Because he thought the bomb
    he put in the briefcase would explode.
[16:21] ---
    A bomb inside the briefcase?!
[16:23] ---
    Indeed.
[16:24] ---
    The briefcase emblem found
    at the scene of the explosion
[16:28] ---
    was bent away from the case.
[16:31] ---
    In other words, it received
    a shock from the inside.
[16:35] ---
    Meaning that the bomb
    was inside the briefcase.
[16:39] ---
    Wait. Then when he said,
[16:42] ---
    "Huh? It won't open.
    Is this empty?" he meant--
[16:47] ---
    That's right.
[16:48] ---
    The key wouldn't open the briefcase.
[16:51] ---
    And it was the briefcase's
    cover that was empty.
[16:54] ---
    So he gave that briefcase
    bomb to that large man?
[16:58] ---
    No.
[17:00] ---
    The person the victim was making a
    deal with gave him the briefcase...
[17:04] ---
    ...you, Nakajima-san!
[17:08] ---
    The deal was done by having everyone
    temporarily check their bags in
[17:12] ---
    and then exchanging
    number tags afterward.
[17:15] ---
    As proof of this,
[17:17] ---
    I got ♪96 and my
    daughter Ran got ♪100.
[17:20] ---
    But Ueda-san, Nakajima-san,
    and Takeshita-san
[17:24] ---
    cut in between us.
[17:26] ---
    Naturally, their tag numbers
    would have been 97, 98, and 99.
[17:33] ---
    But for some reason,
[17:34] ---
    when Nakajima-san went
    to claim his briefcase,
[17:36] ---
    his tag was--
[17:37] ---
    Number 124.
[17:39] ---
    And then the tag of the large
    man Conan overheard was--
[17:43] ---
    Number 98.
[17:45] ---
    The tags were probably exchanged
[17:47] ---
    when Nakajima-san and
    Conan bumped into the man.
[17:52] ---
    The man then took Nakajima-san's
    briefcase from the baggage counter.
[17:54] ---
    The instant he checked the
    contents while inside the restroom--
[17:59] ---
    But why didn't the key fit?
[18:03] ---
    Of course it wouldn't fit.
[18:05] ---
    Takeshita-san had switched
    that briefcase in advance.
[18:10] ---
    Yes.
[18:12] ---
    Because Takeshita-san had
    meant for that briefcase bomb
[18:16] ---
    to kill Nakajima-san!
[18:18] ---
    What?!
[18:19] ---
    Your number tags were probably switched
[18:21] ---
    when you had Nakajima-*san
    *play that punching game.
[18:26] ---
    But when Takeshita-*san
    *checked the briefcase bomb in,
[18:31] ---
    a dangerous problem arose.
[18:33] ---
    My baggage tag number was 96.
[18:36] ---
    Nakajima-san was close behind me,
[18:38] ---
    so it was certain that
    he would be in the 90's too.
[18:40] ---
    But Takeshita-*san
    *hadn't gotten in line yet,
[18:44] ---
    so he would be in the 100's.
[18:46] ---
    There was a good chance
    Nakajima-san might notice later
[18:50] ---
    if he switched their two numbers.
[18:52] ---
    That's why Takeshita-*san
    *cut in between me and Ran...
[18:56] ---
    To ensure his tag number
    would be in the 90's,
[19:00] ---
    the same as Nakajima-san's!
[19:02] ---
    But is there any proof?
[19:04] ---
    Yes...
[19:06] ---
    The briefcase Takeshita-san has right now
[19:08] ---
    is the one Nakajima-san was
    supposed to give the large man.
[19:12] ---
    The key found at
    the scene of the explosion
[19:15] ---
    should fit it perfectly.
[19:18] ---
    And it was a Mantendo
    original briefcase that exploded.
[19:23] ---
    It should be obvious once
    you inspect all the briefcases
[19:26] ---
    belonging to Mantendo
    employees here today
[19:28] ---
    that Takeshita-san's
    is the only one missing.
[19:32] ---
    Because his briefcase
    was blown to pieces.
[19:39] ---
    To think that explosion
    was from a bomb I set...
[19:45] ---
    I even wrote a threatening letter
[19:46] ---
    to make it look
    like an act of terrorism.
[19:49] ---
    Boy, is my face red!
[19:50] ---
    Takeshita!
[19:52] ---
    That's right!
    You were supposed to die!
[19:56] ---
    You murdered Yoshimi!
[19:58] ---
    Yoshimi?
[20:00] ---
    The manager of our boxing
    team during our college days.
[20:05] ---
    She committed suicide
    after Nakajima dumped her.
[20:07] ---
    Suicide?
[20:08] ---
    Yoshimi had been very
    close friends with Takeshita
[20:11] ---
    ever since middle school.
[20:13] ---
    So he must have been--
[20:14] ---
    Let me go! I'm innocent! He did it!
[20:17] ---
    You narrowly avoided being
    murdered, Nakajima-san.
[20:22] ---
    But what do you say we
    move on to the real issue here?
[20:26] ---
    The man in black you
    were making a deal with...
[20:30] ---
    Who exactly was he?!
[20:33] ---
    Um...
[20:35] ---
    You've ruined the deal--
[20:37] ---
    their organization is going to
    come after you, no matter what.
[20:40] ---
    Organization?!
[20:41] ---
    I think your wisest choice
    would be to tell us everything
[20:45] ---
    and seek police shelter...
[20:47] ---
    I really don't know anything!
[20:50] ---
    Just that the place I met
    them at was always the same.
[20:54] ---
    A bar named "Cocktail," on the
    top floor of the Daikoku Building...
[20:59] ---
    "Cocktail," at the Daikoku Building!
[21:01] ---
    Hey, Mori-kun! What organization
    are you talking about?!
[21:04] ---
    Hey!
[21:09] ---
    Daikoku Building
[21:19] ---
    So this is the place!
[21:21] ---
    I made it!
[21:25] ---
    I finally found them!
[21:27] ---
    I finally made it here!
[21:37] ---
    What?!
[21:40] ---
    What?!
[21:42] ---
    Damn it!
[21:44] ---
    Stay out of there, little boy!
[21:46] ---
    Let go! I'm not a little boy!
[21:49] ---
    I'm... I'm...
[21:50] ---
    Let go!
[23:19] ---
    According to police
    investigation afterward,
[23:21] ---
    the amount of explosives
    used was incredible,
[23:23] ---
    and the bar was
    completely obliterated.
[23:25] ---
    There was no way to tell
    if anybody had been inside.
[23:30] ---
    All that I found out this time
[23:32] ---
    was that the men in black
    were attempting to purchase
[23:35] ---
    a list of the world's top
    programmers
[23:38] ---
    that Nakajima-san had
    smuggled out of the company.
[23:44] ---
    Are Gin and Vodka dead?
[23:46] ---
    Or did they disappear on their own?
[23:49] ---
    Everything remains a mystery.
[23:51] ---
    Just as the black
    smoke covers the sky...
[23:53] ---
    ...so too is the case
    buried in darkness.
[24:05] ---
    Hey, Mister!
    Your button's about to fall off!
[24:10] ---
    This was neither
    an accident nor a suicide!
[24:12] ---
    It was a homicide! A murder!
[24:15] ---
    Why, you...
[24:16] ---
    You're in the way! Go outside!
[24:19] ---
    That's it! Now I understand
    Dr. Date's train trick!
