[00:01] ---
    As long as modern-day
    crimes involve people,
[00:04] ---
    there are no
    unsolvable mysteries!
[00:06] ---
    Today's case is a train trick!
[00:08] ---
    Schedules are
    the basis of judgment!
[00:10] ---
    He sees the
    single truth for what it is,
[00:12] ---
    and looks like a kid
    but has the mind of an adult!
[00:14] ---
    His name? Detective Conan!

    The Train Trick Murder Case.
[01:57] ---
    Yu-no-Yama (Mountain Hot Spring Town)
[02:02] ---
    Yu-no-Yama Station
[02:04] ---
    Dad! Hurry!
[02:06] ---
    Where're we going?
    Aren't we getting on this?
[02:09] ---
    No, this is the Hana-no-Machi Line.
[02:12] ---
    We're riding the one up
    there, the Yu-no-Yama Line.
[02:16] ---
    It doesn't matter which one we take--
[02:19] ---
    both lines connect
    to a Tokyo-bound line
[02:21] ---
    at Hana-no-Machi
    Station anyways...
[02:23] ---
    We'll miss the train
    if we don't hurry!
[02:26] ---
    My head's pounding
    from this hangover...
[02:29] ---
    Don't shout so loud...
[02:35] ---
    Ugh. I don't feel up to this...
[02:50] ---
    That was fun!
[02:52] ---
    The food, the inn, and
    the hot spring were all great!
[02:55] ---
    Don't you agree, Conan-kun?
[02:56] ---
    Yeah!
[02:58] ---
    Thanks, Dad!
[03:01] ---
    One of your clients invited you on this trip
[03:04] ---
    as a reward for
    solving their case!
[03:08] ---
    Yeah...
[03:09] ---
    Though I'm the one
    who solved the case, not him...
[03:13] ---
    I'm gonna sleep for an hour
    until we get to Hana-no-Machi.
[03:17] ---
    What the hell?!
[03:20] ---
    What's your problem, Sato?!
[03:22] ---
    What's the matter?
    You don't need to get so mad...
[03:27] ---
    You disgust me!
[03:28] ---
    I can't bear to sit
    with you any more!
[03:31] ---
    I'm going to a different car!
[03:32] ---
    Hey, Date!
[03:37] ---
    Aren't they--
[03:39] ---
    Yeah, they stayed at the
    same inn as us last night.
[03:46] ---
    Kan'etsu Medical Association
[03:53] ---
    Pardon me...
[03:55] ---
    Ah, that group of doctors...
[03:58] ---
    Hello!
[03:59] ---
    Oh, you're from last night...
[04:02] ---
    Did something happen?
[04:04] ---
    No, he's just upset.
[04:07] ---
    Where are the other doctors?
[04:09] ---
    We all left separately.
[04:11] ---
    Some took the Hana-no-Machi Line
[04:13] ---
    while others took the
    Yu-no-Yama Line like us.
[04:15] ---
    Both lines end at
    Hana-no-Machi Station anyway.
[04:19] ---
    Well, then. Nighty-night.
[04:32] ---
    Mizu-no-Kawa! Mizu-no-Kawa!
[04:39] ---
    Huh? Mizu-no-Kawa Station?
[04:41] ---
    Oh, it says we can transfer.
[04:44] ---
    Maybe we should transfer
    to the Hana-no-Machi Line here?
[04:48] ---
    Bzzt! Too bad!
[04:50] ---
    The Hana-no-Machi train
    arrived here at exactly 10:30.
[04:53] ---
    That was five minutes ago.
    It's long gone by now.
[04:56] ---
    Bah.
[05:10] ---
    Sorry to disturb you.
    Tickets, please.
[05:14] ---
    Here you go.
[05:16] ---
    Thanks, little boy!
[05:21] ---
    Mizu-no-Kawa Station
[05:22] ---
    Yu-no-Yama Line
    Hana-no-Machi Line
[05:28] ---
    Hana-no-Machi Station
[05:30] ---
    Thank you for using
    the Yu-no-Yama Line today.
[05:33] ---
    This is our last stop,
    Hana-no-Machi Station.
[05:36] ---
    Please look around once more to
    avoid forgetting anything onboard.
[05:40] ---
    Passengers transferring
    to the Tokyo-bound train
[05:42] ---
    will need to switch to Platform 7.
[05:43] ---
    The next train will leave at 11:40.
[05:50] ---
    Thirty-five minutes of waiting...
[05:53] ---
    Hey! Sato-kun!
[05:56] ---
    Sorry about earlier.
[05:58] ---
    I calmed down after looking at
    the scenery from the very last car.
[06:02] ---
    I thought you might!
[06:04] ---
    Sorry 'bout that!
[06:07] ---
    Sounds like they made up!
[06:09] ---
    Yeah!
[06:11] ---
    Here you are.
[06:12] ---
    Thanks.
[06:13] ---
    Here you go.
[06:20] ---
    He sure has a lot of change...
[06:24] ---
    Well, it was nice to meet you...
[06:26] ---
    Likewise!
[06:30] ---
    Hey, Mister! Your button's
    about to come off!
[06:35] ---
    Oh, it's fine.
[06:40] ---
    He wiped it! How odd...
[06:44] ---
    Where was the body found?!
[06:47] ---
    Inside the Hana-no-Machi
    train that arrived five minutes ago!
[06:49] ---
    The victim appears to be a doctor!
[06:52] ---
    What if it's a
    doctor from our group?!
[06:55] ---
    Everyone did leave by themselves--
[06:57] ---
    one of them could have been
    on the Hana-no-Machi Line!
[06:59] ---
    Let's check it out!
[07:00] ---
    Yeah!
[07:04] ---
    I'm going too.
[07:06] ---
    Dad! What about your hangover?
[07:08] ---
    It's long gone.
[07:10] ---
    I can't stay silent after
    hearing there's a dead body.
[07:12] ---
    Detective Kogoro Mori's
    excitement has been piqued!
[07:28] ---
    It's Utsumi-kun!
[07:31] ---
    So he was in your
    medical association?
[07:34] ---
    It's Utsumi-kun.
    He was with us last night.
[07:40] ---
    What's with that look?!
[07:45] ---
    I'm Chief Railway Officer,
    Yosuke Kobayashi.
[07:50] ---
    It's an honor to meet you,
    Detective Mori!
[07:53] ---
    Your cooperation is
    greatly appreciated!
[07:55] ---
    No problem. I'm glad to help.
[08:03] ---
    So, what was the cause of death?
[08:05] ---
    We won't know for
    sure until the autopsy,
[08:07] ---
    but my guess is cardiac arrest.
[08:09] ---
    If so, I'm of no use here.
[08:12] ---
    Say, isn't that a syringe mark?
[08:16] ---
    You keep quiet! Wait, a syringe?
[08:19] ---
    Look at the vein on his arm.
[08:21] ---
    There's a needle
    mark with blood on it.
[08:25] ---
    A mark from a hypodermic needle?
[08:28] ---
    There's no doubt about it.
[08:29] ---
    When intravenously given high
    doses of potassium chloride,
[08:33] ---
    people can die with
    symptoms just like cardiac arrest.
[08:37] ---
    Shut up!
[08:38] ---
    Hospitals have potassium
    chloride and syringes, right?
[08:43] ---
    Wow. You sure know a lot, little boy!
[08:47] ---
    I really like science stuff!
[08:49] ---
    That was close!
[08:52] ---
    But I don't see
    any syringes anywhere...
[08:56] ---
    Which means...
[08:57] ---
    This was neither
    an accident nor a suicide!
[08:59] ---
    It was a homicide! A murder!
[09:02] ---
    Why, you...
[09:03] ---
    You're in the way! Go outside!
[09:05] ---
    Alright!
[09:06] ---
    Now, then. The question is motive.
[09:09] ---
    It was a simple robbery.
[09:11] ---
    There's not a
    single yen left in his wallet.
[09:14] ---
    And why are his fingers broken?
[09:17] ---
    The killer was macho!
[09:19] ---
    The killer held him down
    so hard that it broke his fingers,
[09:21] ---
    prevented him from fighting back,
    and then committed the crime!
[09:26] ---
    Would they really go through
    the trouble of giving him a shot
[09:28] ---
    just for that?!
[09:30] ---
    The Hana-no-Machi line runs
    parallel to the Yu-no-Yama line,
[09:32] ---
    which we took.
[09:35] ---
    The Yu-no-Yama
    and Mizu-no-Kawa stations
[09:37] ---
    are the only places they meet.
[09:39] ---
    The train this happened on
[09:41] ---
    stopped at Mizu-no-Kawa
    Station at 10:30.
[09:45] ---
    The question is
    the time of the murder...
[09:47] ---
    So the victim bought the
    canned coffee at around 10:50?
[09:52] ---
    Yes.
[09:53] ---
    We had almost arrived
    at Hana-no-Machi,
[09:56] ---
    and he was my last customer...
[09:58] ---
    I didn't have any 1000-yen
    bills to give him change with,
[10:00] ---
    so I gave him his change in coins,
    which is why I remember him.
[10:06] ---
    Was he sitting
    by himself at the time?
[10:10] ---
    Yes.
[10:12] ---
    And immediately afterward,
[10:13] ---
    a mustached-man in a dark blue
    jacket and sunglasses sat next to him,
[10:17] ---
    so you got up and left.
[10:21] ---
    Yes.
[10:22] ---
    A dark blue jacket?!
[10:25] ---
    So the crime took place between
    10:50 and 10:52 or 10:53.
[10:32] ---
    That Dr. Date's
    jacket is reversible!
[10:35] ---
    The other side is dark blue!
[10:39] ---
    Maybe his button
    was about to come off
[10:41] ---
    because the victim had grabbed it?!
[10:44] ---
    He broke his fingers
    trying to remove it!
[10:48] ---
    So that's why he--
[10:49] ---
    There's no doubt about it!
[10:51] ---
    He wiped the front of the button
[10:53] ---
    to remove the victim's fingerprints!
[10:56] ---
    And the victim died from an
    injection of potassium chloride,
[10:59] ---
    which would be difficult
    for anyone but a doctor to get!
[11:02] ---
    Plus his reaction when
    he heard the old man's name!
[11:05] ---
    Dr. Date's probably the one responsible!
[11:08] ---
    But how could he have killed
    someone on a different train?!
[11:18] ---
    Say, aren't you
    going to do your job?
[11:20] ---
    Of course not.
[11:22] ---
    They've got a search
    out for the robber.
[11:23] ---
    My job here is done.
[11:26] ---
    But was this really a robbery?
[11:30] ---
    What do you mean, Conan-kun?
[11:31] ---
    That witness lady seems
    a lot richer than the victim.
[11:37] ---
    And she was sitting nearby, right?
[11:40] ---
    Why would the killer go after
    the man instead of the woman?
[11:45] ---
    That's a good question...
[11:48] ---
    That is strange...
[11:50] ---
    Say, why do you suppose
    that guy's sweating so much?
[11:54] ---
    Dr. Sato.
[11:56] ---
    You wouldn't happen to
    know something, would you?
[11:59] ---
    Eh? No, not really...
[12:02] ---
    I don't mind.
    Tell him, Sato-kun.
[12:05] ---
    Tell him that I had a big argument
    with Utsumi at the inn yesterday.
[12:12] ---
    An argument? With the victim?
[12:14] ---
    Is this true?!
[12:16] ---
    Yeah. It was a big one, too.
[12:18] ---
    What caused it?
[12:20] ---
    An unfounded accusation...
[12:23] ---
    ...that I was receiving kickbacks
    from a pharmaceutical company.
[12:27] ---
    Of course, I'm completely innocent.
[12:31] ---
    Oh, man. You don't seriously
    think I killed him, do you?
[12:34] ---
    No, nothing of the sort.
[12:36] ---
    It's clear that you and the
    victim were on different trains
[12:40] ---
    from what Mori-*san
    *and the others have said.
[12:44] ---
    Yes, Dr. Date does have an alibi.
[12:50] ---
    Say, why did you
    take the Yu-no-Yama Line
[12:52] ---
    instead of the Hana-no-Machi Line?
[12:54] ---
    I could have ridden either one,
[12:57] ---
    but Dr. Date bought me the ticket, so...
[13:00] ---
    Then what was
    that argument earlier?
[13:02] ---
    I tried to pay
    him back for my ticket,
[13:05] ---
    but he refused to accept my money.
[13:07] ---
    He suddenly got angry
    when I insisted he take it...
[13:11] ---
    I didn't know what to
    think when he blew up like that...
[13:14] ---
    So Dr. Date suggested
    taking the Yu-no-Yama Line
[13:16] ---
    and then faked an argument
    to move to the rear car...
[13:22] ---
    Hey, Ran.
    Can I see the train schedule?
[13:24] ---
    The train schedule? Sure.
[13:27] ---
    Here you are!
[13:28] ---
    Thanks!
[13:30] ---
    If he had transferred
    to the Hana-no-Machi Line...
[13:36] ---
    ...Mizu-no-Kawa Station
    would be the only place to do it!
[13:40] ---
    But the Hana-no-Machi
    train the victim was on
[13:43] ---
    arrived at Mizu-no-Kawa
    Station at 10:30.
[13:47] ---
    Our Yu-no-Yama train
    arrived five minutes later.
[13:52] ---
    The Hana-no-Machi train
    was long gone by then!
[13:55] ---
    Maybe he couldn't
    have done it after all?
[13:57] ---
    Wait a second! Didn't it say--
[14:00] ---
    The Yu-no-Yama Line is Line 1.
[14:02] ---
    The Hana-no-Machi Line is Line 6.
[14:04] ---
    An overpass connects
    Platforms 3 and 4.
[14:10] ---
    The stairs are right
    next to the rear car,
[14:12] ---
    which Dr. Date had all to himself!
[14:17] ---
    Hey. Sounds like I'll
    be held up a little bit longer.
[14:20] ---
    Can you close
    the office up for today?
[14:23] ---
    Great. Thanks.
[14:25] ---
    A phone?
[14:27] ---
    A cell phone!
[14:28] ---
    Oh no! I left Sonoko's
    present on the train!
[14:34] ---
    That's it!
[14:36] ---
    Now I understand the trick
    Dr. Date used to switch trains!
[14:46] ---
    Come on.
[14:49] ---
    If you forgot something,
    then ask Ran!
[14:52] ---
    No! It's the killer
    I want you to find!
[15:00] ---
    Oh? Is it my hangover?
[15:07] ---
    Thank you so much!
[15:09] ---
    This is Kogoro Mori.
[15:11] ---
    Would those involved please
    assemble in the staff room?
[15:15] ---
    Dad!
[15:16] ---
    I've identified the real person
    responsible for this incident.
[15:20] ---
    Dr. Date and Dr. Sato.
    Please come as well.
[15:24] ---
    The real person responsible?!
[15:26] ---
    It wasn't a robbery?
[15:31] ---
    We're busy, you know.
[15:34] ---
    What is this all about, Mori-san?
[15:36] ---
    Don't worry, the truth will become
    clear in only fifteen minutes.
[15:41] ---
    You're saying you'll point out
    the killer and have him arrested
[15:44] ---
    in those fifteen minutes?
[15:46] ---
    Indeed, I am, Dr. Date.
[15:51] ---
    In other words, you're going
    to try to arrest me.
[15:53] ---
    Yes. The real person
    responsible for this incident
[15:56] ---
    is you, Dr. Date!
[15:58] ---
    What?!
[15:59] ---
    No way!
[16:00] ---
    But, Dad!
[16:02] ---
    He was on the same
    Yu-no-Yama train as us!
[16:05] ---
    We can only confirm that for the first
    five minutes after the train departed.
[16:10] ---
    We didn't see him again until we
    arrived at Hana-no-Machi Station.
[16:14] ---
    That's true...
[16:16] ---
    Did he transfer?
[16:17] ---
    Yes. At Mizu-no-Kawa Station.
[16:20] ---
    At Mizu-no-Kawa?
[16:22] ---
    But isn't that impossible, time-wise?
[16:25] ---
    Take a good look.
[16:26] ---
    The Yu-no-Yama train arrived on
    Platform 1 of Mizu-no-Kawa Station
[16:32] ---
    at 10:35.
[16:34] ---
    Long after the Hana-no-Machi
    train on Platform 6 had left!
[16:39] ---
    How could I have
    possibly transferred trains?!
[16:41] ---
    A single phone call
    would make it possible.
[16:46] ---
    A phone call?
[16:48] ---
    If you call from a cell
    phone one train stop ahead
[16:50] ---
    and ask them to hold
    the Hana-no-Machi train
[16:54] ---
    because you left something on it...
[17:00] ---
    10:35.
[17:02] ---
    Before you arrived
    at Mizu-no-Kawa Station,
[17:04] ---
    you turned your
    reversible jacket inside-out
[17:07] ---
    and disguised yourself with
    a fake mustache and other props.
[17:12] ---
    When you arrived at the station,
[17:14] ---
    you ran up the overpass
[17:15] ---
    and headed for
    Line 6 as fast as possible.
[17:19] ---
    That's why you started
    an argument with Dr. Sato
[17:21] ---
    and moved to the last car
    immediately after the train departed.
[17:26] ---
    You had the train employees
    search for a missing item
[17:28] ---
    to delay the Hana-no-Machi
    train's departure,
[17:30] ---
    allowing you to
    get on in the nick of time.
[17:34] ---
    You had probably
    instructed the victim to sit there
[17:37] ---
    before you killed him.
[17:41] ---
    I see.
[17:43] ---
    Mori-san's right; there was
    both a phone call and a search.
[17:46] ---
    The man was distressed because
    he had forgotten a contract
[17:48] ---
    more important than his life,
[17:51] ---
    but it never turned up.
[17:53] ---
    Wow. But how exactly is that proof?
[17:57] ---
    Was the call recorded and
    voice-matched with my voice?
[18:01] ---
    Get serious!
[18:03] ---
    I was on the Yu-no-Yama
    train the whole time.
[18:06] ---
    Then please show us your ticket.
[18:09] ---
    Ticket inspection took place on
    the Yu-no-Yama train at around 10:40.
[18:14] ---
    If you didn't transfer,
    then it should have a stamp.
[18:19] ---
    Can we see your ticket, Date-san?
[18:22] ---
    Sorry, but I lost it.
[18:24] ---
    You lost it?!
[18:26] ---
    Would you like to do a body search?
[18:30] ---
    Basically, there's no proof
    I was on the train the entire time,
[18:32] ---
    but there's no proof
    I transferred, either.
[18:35] ---
    "Innocent before proven guilty."
[18:39] ---
    Right, Detective?
[18:42] ---
    Sorry, but I can't waste
    any more time here.
[18:44] ---
    I'm busy.
[18:45] ---
    Which platform for
    the train to Tokyo, again?
[18:49] ---
    Mori-san...
[18:53] ---
    Dr. Date.
[18:59] ---
    Is there still something left?
[19:00] ---
    You certainly had a
    lot of change in your wallet.
[19:09] ---
    So?
[19:10] ---
    It's entirely possible that
    the killer took the victim's money
[19:14] ---
    from his wallet--
    including all of his change--
[19:17] ---
    to make it look like a robbery.
[19:22] ---
    What's your point?
[19:23] ---
    The fingerprints.
[19:26] ---
    Sorry, but Utsumi-*kun
    *was with me last night.
[19:31] ---
    We both chipped
    in to buy cigarettes,
[19:34] ---
    so it wouldn't be that
    odd to find his fingerprints
[19:38] ---
    on the money inside my wallet.
[19:40] ---
    He's right, Mori-san!
[19:43] ---
    No.
[19:45] ---
    I'm not referring to
    the victim's fingerprints.
[19:48] ---
    What?!
[19:51] ---
    What do you mean?
    Whose fingerprints would there be?
[19:56] ---
    Think back.
[19:58] ---
    Right before he was murdered,
[19:59] ---
    the victim bought canned
    coffee from the onboard vendor.
[20:02] ---
    He was the last customer,
    and he pulled out a 10,000-yen bill,
[20:06] ---
    so the vendor remembers him!
[20:13] ---
    Yes. That train
    vendor's fingerprints.
[20:20] ---
    Dr. Date.
[20:22] ---
    The fingerprints of the vendor
    on the Hana-no-Machi train,
[20:24] ---
    which you supposedly weren't on.
[20:29] ---
    If they happen to be on
    any of the coins in your wallet...
[20:52] ---
    So the rumor really was true?
[20:55] ---
    Yes! It's true!
[20:58] ---
    I was receiving kickbacks!
[21:02] ---
    Then he caught me and
    tried to blackmail me!
[21:06] ---
    He demanded money.
[21:08] ---
    He said if I didn't pay up,
    it would become more than a rumor.
[21:11] ---
    He threatened to send
    incriminating photographs
[21:13] ---
    to my medical association
    and the hospital I work at!
[21:15] ---
    That's when I decided to
    agree to a deal to get the film
[21:20] ---
    and kill him on the train!
[21:22] ---
    I found it hard to believe he
    would hand over all the negatives!
[21:26] ---
    Plus--
[21:27] ---
    Someday the rumor would
    become the target of investigation.
[21:30] ---
    So instead, you planned to
    use an alibi trick involving trains
[21:36] ---
    to avoid suspicion.
[21:39] ---
    It was the perfect plan!
[21:41] ---
    Like all of my big operations!
[21:44] ---
    Even the most skilled
    physicians are human.
[21:47] ---
    Unfortunate as it may be,
    even they make bad diagnoses!
[21:50] ---
    People are imperfect-- no crime
    they commit will ever be flawless!
[23:31] ---
    What a nice nap...
[23:34] ---
    Hana-no-Machi?
[23:36] ---
    Why are we still here, again?
[23:38] ---
    Since we're already here,
    let's stay another night at a hot spring!
[23:42] ---
    Hana-no-Machi Hot Spring!
[23:44] ---
    Another night?!
[23:45] ---
    Sounds great! Let's do that!
[23:47] ---
    Wait a minute, Dad!
[23:49] ---
    But another night
    does sound like fun!
[23:51] ---
    Hurray!
[24:12] ---
    Here we go!
[24:13] ---
    It's not much, but there's
    a fresh scratch mark here
[24:15] ---
    from something thin!
[24:21] ---
    I thought so!
[24:22] ---
    No question about it!
    This was a murder, not an accident!
