    The Ojamanbo Murder Case.
[02:12] ---
    Sunday, 7:00 a.m.
[02:20] ---
    Come on, Dad!
[02:22] ---
    Are you worn out already?
[02:26] ---
    Don't blame me,
    blame my hangover...
[02:29] ---
    He's the one who suggested
    it in the first place...
[02:31] ---
    Yeah. We just came along...
[02:36] ---
    Okay, only two more
    kilometers to the park!
[02:39] ---
    Come on, you can do it!
[02:41] ---
    Let's take a break for a minute...
[02:44] ---
    Ojamanbo Cleaning Company, Eastern
    Business Director, Tsunehisa Fujii (27)
[02:49] ---
    What's this?
[02:58] ---
    Over here!
[03:11] ---
    You two stay here!
[03:20] ---
    Ojamanbo Cleaning Company,
    President, Hideyuki Nakayama (29)
[03:28] ---
    Asagi-san! Asagi-san!
[03:30] ---
    Ojamanbo Cleaning Company,
    President's Secretary, Kuniko Asagi (31)
[03:31] ---
    Yes? Is something the matter, sir?
[03:33] ---
    It appears something
    happened outside.
[03:38] ---
    Could you go take a look for me?
[03:40] ---
    Yes, of course.
[03:44] ---
    Hey, call an ambulance!
[03:45] ---
    This looks bad!
[03:50] ---
    It's the same drawing as that truck's.
[03:53] ---
    He's dead.
[03:54] ---
    It looks like that iron
    girder fell on him from above...
[03:58] ---
    Neither of the buildings have windows.
[04:01] ---
    Meaning this
    girder fell from the roof?
[04:03] ---
    Who are you?
[04:05] ---
    We were cleaning the
    building across the street--
[04:07] ---
    we're from Ojamanbo.
[04:09] ---
    Sorry to ask, but could you
    check out this abandoned building?
[04:12] ---
    Someone might have
    dropped the girder from it.
[04:15] ---
    Right!
[04:19] ---
    Oh? Those are our--
[04:22] ---
    It's just my luck that
    I'd run into a big incident
[04:24] ---
    first thing Sunday morning...
[04:26] ---
    Fujii-san!
[04:28] ---
    You know him?!
[04:29] ---
    Yes! He's one of
    our company's directors!
[04:33] ---
    But why?
[04:46] ---
    So Fujii-san was on his
    way from his office up ahead
[04:49] ---
    to the main office here?
[04:51] ---
    Yes. He was supposed to meet
    the company president at 9:00.
[04:55] ---
    Oh, that's right!
    I need to inform him about this!
[04:58] ---
    Sir!
[05:00] ---
    Asagi-san. What happened?
[05:02] ---
    It's Director Fujii...
[05:03] ---
    Did something happen to him?
[05:07] ---
    Fujii!
[05:08] ---
    Asagi-san!
[05:09] ---
    Move the Manbo Mobile away
    from that building right away!
[05:13] ---
    It'll be in the way when
    the police get here! Hurry!
[05:16] ---
    Right!
[05:20] ---
    But why did this happen?
[05:32] ---
    Come on in.
[05:38] ---
    What's that switch for?
[05:41] ---
    Now, then. When
    the incident occurred,
[05:43] ---
    Nakayama-san was in this room,
[05:45] ---
    and Asagi-san was in
    the room next door. Right?
[05:49] ---
    Yes.
[05:50] ---
    Is there anyone
    who can vouch for this?
[05:52] ---
    Sorry?
[05:54] ---
    The truth is, right after the incident,
[05:57] ---
    Mori-kun here asked
    your employees to inspect
[05:59] ---
    the abandoned building next door.
[06:01] ---
    Yes, so I've heard.
[06:03] ---
    But they didn't find
    anyone suspicious, right?
[06:06] ---
    Nope.
[06:06] ---
    But when I thought hard about it,
[06:09] ---
    I realized there's
    also a high possibility
[06:11] ---
    the iron girder was dropped
    from the roof of this building.
[06:15] ---
    Floors 3 and up belong
    to a parent company.
[06:19] ---
    I hear floors 1 and 2 are
    being rented out to your company.
[06:23] ---
    And from what
    the security guard told us,
[06:26] ---
    the parent company above
    you is closed because it's Sunday.
[06:30] ---
    Other than Nakayama-san and Asagi-san,
[06:32] ---
    nobody had entered this building.
[06:35] ---
    That's what he said.
[06:38] ---
    So you want to know our alibis?
[06:41] ---
    I don't know what to say.
[06:43] ---
    There wasn't anyone
    else to vouch for us...
[06:50] ---
    This switch is--
[06:53] ---
    I can see the road out front!
[06:55] ---
    Judging from this angle,
    there must be a camera on the roof!
[06:59] ---
    It's recording!
[07:03] ---
    Now I see! The camera's
    angle changes automatically!
[07:08] ---
    Which means that when it's on manual
[07:10] ---
    you use this stick
    to change the angle...
[07:13] ---
    Hey, you! Don't touch
    other people's things!
[07:21] ---
    Is this your wife, Nakayama-san?
[07:24] ---
    No, that's my sister.
[07:25] ---
    Your sister?
[07:27] ---
    Yes. But she passed away this January...
[07:31] ---
    Dad!
[07:33] ---
    I'm sorry to hear that...
[07:37] ---
    But becoming a company
    president at such a young age...
[07:40] ---
    That's really something!
[07:42] ---
    This company was originally just me,
    Fujii, and my sister Kumiko
[07:45] ---
    back in my college days.
[07:47] ---
    We originally started it
    as a "jack-of-all-trades" shop.
[07:50] ---
    We came up with the name "Ojamanbo"
[07:53] ---
    because we would actively go
    to random homes and demand work.
[07:58] ---
    I see.
[07:59] ---
    But to our delight, the business
    did much better than we ever expected.
[08:03] ---
    Two years later,
    we took our first step into cleaning
[08:06] ---
    by creating the
    Ojamanbo Cleaning Company.
[08:10] ---
    I took the role
    of company president,
[08:13] ---
    and Fujii oversaw work as business
    director of the eastern region.
[08:18] ---
    My sister worked as my secretary,
[08:21] ---
    but she died in
    an accident in January.
[08:25] ---
    Inspector.
[08:26] ---
    I'll tell you since you'd
    eventually find out anyway,
[08:29] ---
    there was some
    trouble between me and Fujii.
[08:32] ---
    Trouble?
[08:35] ---
    Fujii was going to start his
    own cleaning company by himself.
[08:39] ---
    Because of this, he tried to take
    several highly-skilled employees
[08:43] ---
    along with him, so...
[08:46] ---
    Whenever we met, we always
    clashed with each other.
[08:50] ---
    I was supposed to talk
    with Fujii again today.
[08:54] ---
    I got it!
[08:55] ---
    You already figured it out?!
[08:57] ---
    Nakayama-san was the one
    who dropped the girder from the roof!
[09:01] ---
    Asagi-san and Nakayama-san are lovers,
[09:04] ---
    so she's lying to cover for him!
[09:11] ---
    What's so funny?
[09:14] ---
    As if he and I would ever be lovers!
[09:18] ---
    Sorry, but you're wrong, Mori-san.
[09:21] ---
    The reason being that
    she's getting married next month!
[09:25] ---
    Married?
[09:29] ---
    Inspector!
[09:30] ---
    It wasn't much, but we found
    a mark made by an iron girder
[09:33] ---
    on the roof of the building next door.
[09:35] ---
    What?!
[09:36] ---
    So the girder fell from the
    roof of the abandoned building!
[09:39] ---
    We also found this harmonica
    lying next to the body...
[09:43] ---
    His name's on it, so it would
    seem it belongs to Fujii-san...
[09:47] ---
    Yes, that's his.
[09:50] ---
    I've seen it on several occasions.
[09:53] ---
    However, we couldn't
    find any fingerprints on it at all.
[09:58] ---
    It's clean, almost as if
    it had been wiped with a cloth.
[10:02] ---
    If it belongs to Fujii-san,
    shouldn't his fingerprints be on it?
[10:05] ---
    Yes, but...
[10:08] ---
    I just remembered
    some unimportant business.
[10:10] ---
    Would you mind
    if I leave for just a bit?
[10:12] ---
    No, that would be fine.
[10:14] ---
    Thank you.
[10:15] ---
    Asagi-san. Contact Fujii-kun's
    parents and fiancée.
[10:19] ---
    Right!
[10:23] ---
    Fujii-san has a fiancée?
[10:25] ---
    Yes. Apparently she's the
    daughter of a wealthy man,
[10:28] ---
    and the start-up funds
    for his new company
[10:30] ---
    were supposed to come from him.
[10:32] ---
    Say, how did
    Nakayama-san's sister die?
[10:36] ---
    She was in an accident.
[10:38] ---
    An accident?
[10:39] ---
    Yes.
[10:40] ---
    Apparently she had a
    big argument with her brother
[10:43] ---
    and quit in December.
[10:45] ---
    I was hired as her replacement.
[10:49] ---
    But she took a part-time
    job at a construction company
[10:53] ---
    and was hit in the head by an
    iron girder on a construction site.
[10:57] ---
    Come again?!
[10:58] ---
    That's exactly the same as
    what happened this morning!
[11:02] ---
    That's why I've been thinking about
    how terrible coincidences can be...
[11:06] ---
    Was it really a coincidence, though?
[11:09] ---
    Could his sister's
    death have some relevance
[11:12] ---
    to the truth behind this incident?
[11:15] ---
    If so, then it's highly likely
    that Nakayama-san did it!
[11:19] ---
    But how?!
[11:21] ---
    At any rate, I'm going to
    re-question the employees
[11:24] ---
    who were cleaning the
    building across the street.
[11:27] ---
    You folks stay here.
[11:29] ---
    Understood.
[11:30] ---
    Let's go.
[11:32] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:33] ---
    After entering this room, Nakayama-*san
    *switched the camera to Auto.
[11:38] ---
    If he's the killer, then it
    must be the key to something!
[11:46] ---
    I can see the road out front!
    This is neat!
[11:50] ---
    Oh, a security camera
    on the roof is recording that.
[11:54] ---
    A security camera?
[11:55] ---
    Yes. The company president
    is always checking the monitor
[12:00] ---
    to make sure there's no litter
    on the street in front of the building.
[12:03] ---
    I see. So it's the policy of the
    president of a cleaning company.
[12:08] ---
    Yes. His concepts are always unique--
[12:11] ---
    the Manbo Mobile was his idea too!
[12:13] ---
    Parking it in front of a spotless
    building makes for great publicity!
[12:18] ---
    Say, this is set on Auto,
[12:21] ---
    but do you think we could see
    inside that alley if it was on Manual?
[12:24] ---
    I'm not sure.
    Why don't you try and see?
[12:27] ---
    Okay!
[12:38] ---
    Can't see it at all, huh?
[12:40] ---
    No.
[12:45] ---
    What's this strap?
[12:47] ---
    Binoculars?!
[12:49] ---
    Conan-kun!
[12:51] ---
    You know better than to
    open other people's drawers!
[12:57] ---
    I'm gonna go up to the roof!
[13:05] ---
    So that's the security camera.
[13:07] ---
    It's pretty big...
[13:13] ---
    The abandoned building next
    door is one floor shorter than this one...
[13:17] ---
    That must be the mark
    made by the sliding iron girder.
[13:21] ---
    This height difference
    would make it impossible
[13:22] ---
    to return the girder up
    here if it had been lowered
[13:25] ---
    onto the abandoned building.
[13:29] ---
    Which means Nakayama-*san
    *couldn't have dropped it--
[13:31] ---
    he was inside this building.
[13:34] ---
    Plus, he was in his
    office when it happened!
[13:42] ---
    Wait a minute! It's possible that--
[13:47] ---
    Here we go!
[13:48] ---
    It's not much, but there's
    a fresh scratch mark here
[13:50] ---
    from something thin!
[13:55] ---
    There's no doubt about it!
[13:56] ---
    Using this method, it would
    be possible to drop the girder
[13:59] ---
    even from his office!
[14:01] ---
    But how did he know
    Fujii-san was in the alley?!
[14:08] ---
    Wait!
[14:18] ---
    No good.
[14:19] ---
    None of the lower floors
    reflect what's in the alley!
[14:23] ---
    Was it really impossible for
    Nakayama-san to have done it?!
[14:25] ---
    Conan-kun?
[14:27] ---
    What are you doing?
[14:29] ---
    Nothing really...
[14:32] ---
    Wait! Come to think of it...
[14:34] ---
    Asagi-san!
[14:35] ---
    Move the Manbo Mobile away
    from that building right away!
[14:39] ---
    Now I see!
[14:41] ---
    That's why the harmonica
    didn't have any fingerprints on it!
[14:44] ---
    Nakayama-san really did do it!
[14:49] ---
    How'd it go, Inspector?
[14:50] ---
    Not well.
[14:52] ---
    Apparently they had
    finished their window-cleaning
[14:54] ---
    and moved on to cleaning
    the first floor when it happened.
[14:57] ---
    They said they didn't see anything.
[14:59] ---
    I see...
[15:01] ---
    Darn it!
[15:02] ---
    Will checking this video prove
[15:04] ---
    that he controlled the
    only camera on the roof?!
[15:07] ---
    But will that alone...
[15:08] ---
    ...serve as conclusive proof?!
[15:24] ---
    What's this?!
[15:29] ---
    Alright! Now I have evidence!
[15:32] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[15:34] ---
    Ah, Nakayama-san.
    You can leave for today.
[15:37] ---
    We'll contact you at a later time.
[15:40] ---
    I see.
[15:41] ---
    Oh no!
[15:42] ---
    This video'll be erased if he notices it!
[15:46] ---
    I have no choice!
    I'll use my usual method!
[15:50] ---
    What?
[15:57] ---
    What is it, Mori-kun?
[15:58] ---
    Inspector. You mustn't
    let him leave just yet.
[16:02] ---
    The reason being that I've
    seen through the superb trick
[16:06] ---
    Nakayama-san used to murder
    Fujii-san from this room.
[16:10] ---
    What?!
[16:11] ---
    So you're saying
    Nakayama-san killed him?!
[16:15] ---
    Yes. The key to his trick was
    the security camera on the roof.
[16:19] ---
    The security camera?
[16:21] ---
    Nakayama-san placed an iron
    girder on top of the building next door
[16:25] ---
    and then connected it to the
    security camera with something thin--
[16:30] ---
    piano wire, most likely.
[16:34] ---
    Afterward, when Fujii-*san
    *walked into the alleyway,
[16:37] ---
    he operated the security camera,
[16:39] ---
    which had been
    set to Manual in advance.
[16:56] ---
    The reason Nakayama-san had
    Asagi-san check what happened outside
[17:01] ---
    was so he could go to the roof
[17:03] ---
    and remove the piano wire
    from the camera.
[17:06] ---
    And the reason
    he went outside just now
[17:09] ---
    was to dispose of that piano wire.
[17:12] ---
    Am I wrong?
[17:14] ---
    You're not only wrong, but your
    theory lacks a vital part, Mori-san.
[17:19] ---
    From in here,
    how could I have known what time
[17:22] ---
    Fujii would be in the alley?
[17:25] ---
    I agree.
[17:26] ---
    It would be impossible
    to drop the girder on Fujii-san
[17:29] ---
    if the timing was even a second off.
[17:31] ---
    In order to have Fujii-*san
    *stop on a specific spot,
[17:37] ---
    Nakayama-san stole
    his harmonica in advance
[17:40] ---
    and placed it in the alley.
[17:43] ---
    He then used his binoculars
    to see Fujii-san enter the alley.
[17:48] ---
    How? The alley
    isn't visible from here!
[17:51] ---
    Inspector. When the incident occurred,
[17:53] ---
    the company's Manbo Mobile was parked
[17:56] ---
    in front of a
    building across the street.
[17:58] ---
    The logo's eye was a mirror.
[18:02] ---
    What?!
[18:04] ---
    Do you see now?
[18:06] ---
    Nakayama-san used binoculars to
    view the reflection of the alley
[18:10] ---
    and then dropped the girder.
[18:13] ---
    He waited for just the right time...
[18:18] ---
    That's why you had
    the Manbo Mobile moved
[18:21] ---
    right after you saw his body.
[18:23] ---
    So that the police
    wouldn't figure out your trick.
[18:28] ---
    But you made a mistake.
[18:31] ---
    You dropped the girder before
    Fujii-san had picked up the harmonica.
[18:38] ---
    That's why his
    fingerprints weren't on it.
[18:42] ---
    You were flustered.
[18:47] ---
    There's no blaming you.
[18:49] ---
    Because Ran got in your
    way at the worst possible time.
[19:00] ---
    But you have no
    proof of this, Mori-san.
[19:03] ---
    According to your theory,
    I've already disposed of the piano wire.
[19:07] ---
    But there is proof.
[19:10] ---
    After you used the security
    camera to drop the girder,
[19:14] ---
    you changed the camera's angle
[19:16] ---
    to make it easier to
    remove the piano wire.
[19:19] ---
    During that time,
    the camera recorded
[19:21] ---
    the reflection in the glass
    windows of the opposite building.
[19:25] ---
    It's all yours, Conan!
[19:28] ---
    Everyone gather over here!
[19:30] ---
    Conan-kun?
[19:36] ---
    Watch closely, everyone.
[19:41] ---
    See the camera in
    the glass's reflection?
[19:45] ---
    In just a moment...
[19:49] ---
    Here!
[20:06] ---
    Company president!
[20:11] ---
    My sister and Fujii were lovers.
[20:16] ---
    But Fujii met a rich man's daughter
[20:19] ---
    and ditched my
    sister like it was nothing.
[20:22] ---
    As a result,
    my sister quit the company.
[20:26] ---
    So it wasn't because
    you two had an argument?
[20:29] ---
    I thought so, myself.
[20:31] ---
    Our parents died
    when we were very young.
[20:35] ---
    My sister always
    saw me as a father-figure,
[20:38] ---
    but now she was confused,
[20:40] ---
    so she quit the company
    to get away from her brother.
[20:42] ---
    That's what I thought, anyway.
[20:45] ---
    But that wasn't the case...
[20:49] ---
    After she died in an accident,
[20:52] ---
    I went to her apartment in
    Yokohama to tend to her belongings.
[21:06] ---
    I realized everything then.
[21:09] ---
    So then you wiped the
    harmonica and put it in the alley?
[21:13] ---
    If Fujii hadn't dumped her,
    she wouldn't have died!
[21:17] ---
    I had to make him pay!
[21:25] ---
    But it certainly is ironic, isn't it?
[21:27] ---
    I used the Manbo Mobile's
    mirror to commit a murder--
[21:32] ---
    and then I was found guilty because
    of my reflection in those windows.
[21:37] ---
    And it was no other
    than your own company
[21:40] ---
    that polished those windows.
[21:43] ---
    But of course.
[21:45] ---
    The Ojamanbo Cleaning Company's
    cleaning techniques
[21:47] ---
    are the best in the world!
[21:51] ---
    Brother...
[23:31] ---
    I saw the Manbo Mobile go by today.
[23:34] ---
    It looks like the company's still
    going even after the president's arrest.
[23:37] ---
    Yeah. But apparently Asagi-san quit.
[23:42] ---
    It must have been a real shock to her.
[23:44] ---
    I wonder what she's doing now?
[23:46] ---
    Hello, there!
[23:47] ---
    I'm Ojamanbo's new announcer,
    Kuniko Asagi!
[23:53] ---
    I'm honored to be here!
[23:57] ---
    What a strong woman...
[24:10] ---
    No! She must have found a clue
    we don't know about yet!
[24:15] ---
    Now that you mention it, Ayako-*san
    *was acting odd this afternoon...
[24:19] ---
    What?!
[24:23] ---
    Don't tell me Ayako-san's in there!
