[00:01] ---
    A racing second hand,
    a shooting comet,
[00:03] ---
    a pop-up doll,
    and broken ceramic!
[00:05] ---
    Mystery-solving logic is helpful
    against people's dry hearts!
[00:08] ---
    Today's a beautiful illustrator!
    Her mischievous streak means death!
[00:12] ---
    He sees the single truth for what it is,
    and there's no outwitting him!
[00:15] ---
    His name? Detective Conan!

    The Illustrator Murder Case
[01:57] ---
    Hanaoka Design Office
[01:57] ---
    Eh? A collection of
[01:59] ---
    murder scene paintings?!
[02:02] ---
    I didn't tell you?
    It's being released next month
[02:06] ---
    by painter and president of this
    design office, Hanaoka-sensei!
[02:10] ---
    I asked both of you to come
    today for an interview
[02:15] ---
    to put at the end
    of the collection...
[02:18] ---
    Interview?
[02:23] ---
    Is something wrong?
[02:25] ---
    It's just that Dad said it was
    a collection of paintings of him!
[02:31] ---
    It seemed strange, huh?
[02:34] ---
    Yeah!
[02:34] ---
    So, where is this fancy painter?
[02:38] ---
    He's still not here.
[02:41] ---
    He could be asleep in his studio...
[02:43] ---
    Gimme a break.
[02:45] ---
    Beika Apartment Building #2
[02:53] ---
    What are you doing?
[02:54] ---
    Oh, you woke up.
[02:56] ---
    Painter - Kenjin Hanaoka (48)
[02:57] ---
    What is this? Paint?
[03:00] ---
    Nail polish.
[03:00] ---
    Illustrator - Izumi Chono (25)
[03:02] ---
    Isn't it a nice color?
    lt went on sale today!
[03:04] ---
    Really, now...
[03:06] ---
    Should you really be relaxing?
[03:09] ---
    Aren't you supposed to meet
    some detective at 5:00?
[03:13] ---
    Oh no!
[03:15] ---
    Hurry.
[03:16] ---
    I put your pants
    and socks on for you.
[03:20] ---
    Don't pull that prank anymore!
    If my wife were to see it-
[03:24] ---
    That's why I did it.
[03:26] ---
    That way she'd divorce you
    and we could be together.
[03:35] ---
    What was that for?!
[03:37] ---
    I told you our relationship
    is business only!
[03:41] ---
    That's why you're able
    to paint whatever you want
[03:44] ---
    and live in such a fancy apartment!
[03:46] ---
    I'll reveal the truth!
[03:49] ---
    She's already vaguely suspicious.
    But she overlooks it.
[03:53] ---
    I don't mean us.
    I mean the paintings.
[03:57] ---
    Sixty percent of your paintings
    were actually done by me.
[04:04] ---
    Wait!
[04:04] ---
    If word gets out, you can kiss
    your reputation goodbye.
[04:09] ---
    You won't be able to
    sell a single painting.
[04:13] ---
    Who'd ever believe
    a new illustrator?!
[04:17] ---
    Oh, you didn't know?
    I clearly marked each one I drew.
[04:23] ---
    What?!
[04:25] ---
    The World of Kenjin Hanaoka
[04:26] ---
    Take a good look beneath
    your signature on the paintings I did.
[04:34] ---
    This is--
[04:36] ---
    I've placed that mark
    on all of my original works.
[04:42] ---
    Thanks to your increase in work,
    they've become rather famous...
[04:49] ---
    I stayed up all night
    painting another.
[04:51] ---
    Be sure to have it delivered
    to the publisher later.
[04:56] ---
    Try as you might,
    there's no escape from me...
[05:01] ---
    ...for as long as you live.
[05:03] ---
    He's late! It's already 5:30!
[05:06] ---
    No luck. He's not at home,
    and I get his machine at the studio.
[05:11] ---
    Maybe Chono-kun's place?
    Today was her deadline...
[05:15] ---
    Chono?
[05:17] ---
    A new illustrator.
    She lives in that building right there.
[05:27] ---
    Damn it! I didn't mean to kill her!
[05:35] ---
    Hello, this is Chono.
    I'm away at the moment.
[05:38] ---
    Please leave your
    message after the tone.
[05:43] ---
    Hello. This is Tanaka
    from Hanaoka Design.
[05:48] ---
    Chono-kun. Are you there?
[05:53] ---
    Hanaoka Design!
[05:56] ---
    Hello? Hello?
[05:58] ---
    Who is it?
[05:59] ---
    A prank call.
[06:02] ---
    What are you looking at,
    Conan-kun?
[06:04] ---
    That apartment's veranda.
[06:09] ---
    Oh, my...
[06:10] ---
    They left their mattress
    out in the rain.
[06:14] ---
    Ah. That's Chono-kun's apartment.
[06:17] ---
    Guess she's asleep.
[06:22] ---
    This is taking far too long!
    Sorry, but I'm leaving.
[06:27] ---
    Please, wait!
[06:30] ---
    Mori-san!
[06:32] ---
    Hanaoka-sensei!
[06:35] ---
    Where were you?
[06:37] ---
    Sorry about that.
[06:38] ---
    I fell asleep in my studio...
[06:41] ---
    Your studio? We called
    there several times...
[06:44] ---
    Yes, that's what woke me up...
[06:47] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting,
    Detective Mori!
[06:51] ---
    Huh? What happened
    to your fingernail?
[06:53] ---
    My fingernail?
[06:58] ---
    Is that nail polish?
[07:00] ---
    Of course not! It's just paint!
[07:03] ---
    Must've gotten it in my studio.
[07:06] ---
    Oh, Tanaka-kun.
    Chono-kun might call.
[07:10] ---
    Transfer the call to me if she does.
[07:13] ---
    Right!
[07:17] ---
    Damn! Damn! Damn that woman!
[07:26] ---
    Hanaoka Design!
[07:28] ---
    Hello, this is Chono.
[07:30] ---
    Oh, it's you! Just a second!
[07:35] ---
    Sir! It's Chono-kun!
[07:38] ---
    This is Hanaoka.
    Are you feeling any better?
[07:42] ---
    What? You're going to die?!
[07:45] ---
    You're going to jump off the veranda?!
[07:58] ---
    She jumped off!
[08:05] ---
    The deceased is Izumi Chono,
    25 years old.
[08:09] ---
    Hanaoka-san. She was an illustrator
    for your design firm, correct?
[08:15] ---
    Yes. She was still new,
    but she had a keen sense.
[08:20] ---
    But on the phone she said she was
    going to die since she had no talent...
[08:26] ---
    ...the next thing I knew,
    she had jumped off the veranda...
[08:30] ---
    And you all witnessed it?
[08:33] ---
    Yes...
[08:37] ---
    A contact lens?
[08:39] ---
    Wait. Wasn't she--
[08:43] ---
    With so many witnesses,
    it must've been a suicide...
[08:48] ---
    No! This was a murder!
[08:53] ---
    I bet she was dead before she fell,
[08:56] ---
    and that someone pushed her over!
[08:59] ---
    In which case,
    the most suspicious is...
[09:02] ---
    ...this man, who tried
    to talk her out of suicide!
[09:05] ---
    Could an accomplice have pushed her?!
[09:09] ---
    No, there was no one
    on the veranda when she fell.
[09:14] ---
    Then how did he push her
    off from so far away?!
[09:26] ---
    Say, isn't this strange?
[09:28] ---
    Look at her eyes.
    She's wearing contacts.
[09:32] ---
    What about it?
[09:34] ---
    But she was wearing
    glasses when she fell.
[09:38] ---
    Who wears glasses when
    they already have contacts in?
[09:43] ---
    He has a point...
[09:45] ---
    In other words, someone put her
    glasses on before pushing her off?
[09:50] ---
    Hold on!
[09:51] ---
    Detective. You saw
    her jump off for yourself.
[09:56] ---
    There was nobody else
    on the veranda at the time.
[10:00] ---
    Chono
[10:06] ---
    Oh? The door's unlocked...
[10:14] ---
    A nail...
[10:16] ---
    What's it doing here?
[10:19] ---
    Alright, you!
[10:21] ---
    Ran! Watch this kid!
[10:24] ---
    So this is the veranda
    she jumped off of...
[10:28] ---
    Slippers, a cell phone,
    and a broken flowerpot...
[10:33] ---
    The flowerpot pieces
    lead to the drain...
[10:38] ---
    You know you shouldn't
    sneak around alone!
[10:42] ---
    A contact lens case.
    I assume it's hers.
[10:46] ---
    In which case,
    those glasses are the issue...
[10:50] ---
    She probably forgot she
    was wearing contacts.
[10:55] ---
    Let's search the place! If this was
    a suicide, there might be a will!
[10:59] ---
    Yes, sir!
[11:06] ---
    What's with these pictures?
[11:09] ---
    Those are photos she took
    on a recent company trip.
[11:15] ---
    She liked drawing on
    people in their sleep.
[11:19] ---
    It looks like they're
    all the same pattern.
[11:22] ---
    That's her signature.
[11:24] ---
    The butterfly comes from
    the 'cho' in her name,
[11:27] ---
    and she always puts it on her art.
[11:29] ---
    Her illustrations have
    gotten popular lately...
[11:37] ---
    No will in here either...
[11:40] ---
    Inspector Megure. There was
    nail polish on the floor.
[11:44] ---
    I think that's the nail polish
    that went on sale today.
[11:47] ---
    Everyone at school talked
    about its unique color.
[11:50] ---
    Say, isn't that what's on this
    sheet?
[11:54] ---
    No question about it!
[11:56] ---
    But she didn't have any
    on her hands or feet.
[12:00] ---
    The only person wearing
    this color was...
[12:03] ---
    ...you, huh?
[12:06] ---
    Is this true?
[12:07] ---
    It just happened to be
    paint of the same color!
[12:11] ---
    I was working in my studio
    until this morning.
[12:14] ---
    He's the killer.
    No question about it.
[12:18] ---
    But he was in
    the office when she fell.
[12:22] ---
    And with us!
[12:26] ---
    We're leaving now, Conan-kun!
[12:29] ---
    No! Just a little longer--
[12:33] ---
    Disinfecting solution!
[12:34] ---
    That's odd. Judging from that case,
    she had soft lenses!
[12:39] ---
    There was only
    disinfectant in the fridge.
[12:42] ---
    Where's the saline solution?!
[12:45] ---
    Inspector Megure.
    We haven't found a will.
[12:49] ---
    Maybe it wasn't a suicide?
[12:51] ---
    Excuse me...
[12:53] ---
    I'm a courier.
[12:54] ---
    I forgot to leave a pick-up
    receipt when I came earlier.
[12:58] ---
    Earlier?
[13:00] ---
    Around 6:30.
[13:02] ---
    6:30?! That's when she jumped!
[13:05] ---
    Did you see her then?!
[13:07] ---
    No, I was told I could pick
    it up just inside the doorway
[13:12] ---
    and to come at exactly 6:30.
    I didn't actually meet anyone.
[13:17] ---
    Here's today's pick-up receipt.
[13:20] ---
    Hanaoka?!
[13:24] ---
    It says you were the one
    who requested the pick-up.
[13:29] ---
    What's the deal?
[13:30] ---
    A courier at exactly the same time
    she dies-- seems fishy to me.
[13:35] ---
    She told me over the phone
    that she finished a painting
[13:39] ---
    so I simply arranged for a
    courier to deliver it to the editors.
[13:43] ---
    She was tired and seemed odd,
[13:46] ---
    so I made it so she wouldn't
    have to wait on the courier.
[13:50] ---
    Did anything seem odd
    when you entered the apartment?
[13:55] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    the door slammed right open.
[14:02] ---
    I had barely even touched it...
[14:04] ---
    You sure she didn't do it?
[14:07] ---
    I thought so myself,
    but there was no one there.
[14:10] ---
    A nail fell, that's all.
[14:12] ---
    A nail?
[14:12] ---
    Yeah. And then I heard
    something in the back break.
[14:18] ---
    Wait a minute!
[14:26] ---
    Perfect! It's stuck on
    part of the flowerpot!
[14:36] ---
    I've figured it all out! With this trick,
    it'd be possible to push her off
[14:43] ---
    the veranda from even miles away!
[14:50] ---
    I've figured out the killer's trick!
[14:55] ---
    What're you doing?!
    I thought you left!
[15:00] ---
    Ow! Stupid mosquitoes!
[15:05] ---
    And now I put this
    Button Speaker on the old man...
[15:10] ---
    Eh? You know who did it?!
[15:13] ---
    Yes. Chono-san didn't commit suicide.
    She was murdered!
[15:18] ---
    By you, Hanaoka-san!
[15:21] ---
    Hold on, Mori-kun. You know
    he couldn't have done it.
[15:27] ---
    Yeah! He couldn't be the killer!
[15:31] ---
    We were all in that office
    when we saw the lady fall!
[15:36] ---
    That's right!
[15:39] ---
    Quiet! He most certainly
    could have done it!
[15:42] ---
    He just needed strong
    fishing line and a nail!
[15:46] ---
    Inspector Megure. Can you get some?
[15:48] ---
    Yes...
[15:50] ---
    And a soy sauce bottle
    and hot coffee.
[15:53] ---
    A soy sauce bottle and coffee?
[15:57] ---
    We're heating the coffee at the moment,
[16:00] ---
    but what are you trying to do here?
[16:03] ---
    Please just humor me, if you would.
[16:07] ---
    First, make a loop
    that's long enough to go
[16:11] ---
    from the veranda's railing
    to the door and back.
[16:16] ---
    Pull one end through the belt on
    the mattress, which'll be our victim,
[16:20] ---
    and then loop it around
    the railing, from the top.
[16:24] ---
    Then place that loop
    around the flowerpot,
[16:30] ---
    pull the line to the door while
    keeping the flowerpot from falling,
[16:35] ---
    and temporarily place the
    other loop around the intercom.
[16:40] ---
    Next, slide the victim along the
    line and dangle her over the edge.
[16:46] ---
    Naturally, he covered
    the victim with the mattress.
[16:49] ---
    It disguised the body,
    like camouflage.
[16:53] ---
    Lastly, close the door
    on your way out,
[16:55] ---
    remove the loop around
    the intercom, and tie it to the nail.
[16:59] ---
    Stop the nail outside
    the door, and it's all set.
[17:05] ---
    I see. Once someone opens the door,
[17:09] ---
    one end comes undone and
    the victim falls by herself.
[17:14] ---
    The door opener was
    Hanaoka-san's courier, of course.
[17:20] ---
    He would open the door at
    whatever time he was asked to.
[17:25] ---
    Interesting theory, but I don't
    see any fishing line at all--
[17:31] ---
    It's simple.
[17:32] ---
    What?!
[17:34] ---
    With extra line and a soy sauce bottle,
    it disappears like magic.
[17:39] ---
    First, you tie the extra line
    between the victim and flowerpot,
[17:44] ---
    pull the other end through
    the inner and outer drain caps,
[17:48] ---
    and tie it to the soy sauce bottle.
[17:51] ---
    Then you simply place the
    bottle and the caps into the drain.
[17:56] ---
    The bottle is just a weight;
    anything will do.
[18:00] ---
    The saline solution missing
    from the refrigerator, for example.
[18:07] ---
    Seeing is believing...
    Let us open the door...
[18:13] ---
    ...the door of fate that
    will solve this mystery!
[18:26] ---
    It went in!
[18:27] ---
    Check the drain at once!
[18:30] ---
    Inspector! We already found
    fishing line and the saline solution!
[18:34] ---
    Ridiculous! I was on the phone
    with her just before she fell!
[18:39] ---
    She's the one who called me!
[18:41] ---
    Try redialing the office
    with the phone on the veranda!
[18:45] ---
    It probably would connect.
[18:47] ---
    Because you used it to call the office
    after preparing the previous trick.
[18:56] ---
    And the voice that Tanaka-*san
    *heard was probably
[18:59] ---
    part of the message on the
    answering machine in your studio.
[19:06] ---
    On your way from here to the office,
    you stopped by your studio,
[19:09] ---
    and took the tape
    with her voice on it.
[19:15] ---
    At the office, you went
    straight to the restroom
[19:19] ---
    and called the office
    from your own cell phone.
[19:22] ---
    Hello, this is Chono.
[19:25] ---
    After taking the call from
    Tanaka-san,
[19:28] ---
    you diverted everyone's
    attention to the opposite veranda
[19:31] ---
    to make it appear that the
    dead woman committed suicide.
[19:38] ---
    The murder weapon was most
    likely the ashtray beneath the desk.
[19:44] ---
    If you test it, it should
    produce a luminol reaction.
[19:49] ---
    Still, do you have any
    proof that I killed her here?
[19:55] ---
    I certainly doubt it.
    After all, today is my first time here.
[20:01] ---
    Detective Mori.
    Here's the hot coffee.
[20:03] ---
    Well, Detective?
[20:05] ---
    I'll take it to him!
[20:12] ---
    At any rate, I'm innocent!
[20:14] ---
    Oh? What's that?
[20:19] ---
    What the...
[20:20] ---
    Isn't that Chono-san's signature?!
[20:25] ---
    That's right. She drew it with
    nail polish while he was asleep.
[20:31] ---
    But how did you know about that?
[20:35] ---
    There was nail polish on the bed,
    yet she had none on
[20:40] ---
    while Hanaoka-*san
    *had some on his finger.
[20:44] ---
    And that nail polish
    went on sale today.
[20:48] ---
    If you're innocent,
    then answer this.
[20:51] ---
    When and where did you get
    that mark, and from whom?
[20:56] ---
    It isn't true, is it,
    Hanaoka-san?
[20:59] ---
    I can't believe you
    would kill Chono-kun...
[21:02] ---
    His motive for murder was
    probably his paintings.
[21:06] ---
    Chono-san's signature
    appeared many times
[21:10] ---
    beneath his own in his art album.
[21:13] ---
    Those were probably works
    that she made using his style.
[21:19] ---
    That became a point of contention...
[21:21] ---
    Yes! It's exactly as you say!
[21:23] ---
    I snapped, and when
    I came to, I had killed her!
[21:27] ---
    But that might not have
    been the only reason.
[21:32] ---
    I was scared.
    Scared of her young talent!
[21:37] ---
    She was a kind and beautiful girl...
[21:40] ---
    Almost like the butterfly
    that flutters around flowers!
[21:44] ---
    But she soon dominated those flowers
[21:46] ---
    and started killing them by
    sucking away too much nectar!
[21:50] ---
    So I plucked her wings so
    she could no longer fly!
[23:27] ---
    Eh? You want to use
    Dad in a commercial?!
[23:30] ---
    I'll put him on right now!

    album and then a commercial!
[23:40] ---
    Darn it! He always gets the glory!
[23:44] ---
    Hell, no! I'd never be
    in such a commercial!

    What kind of commercial was it?
[23:51] ---
    One for sleeping pills!
[23:53] ---
    Said all I had to do
    was sleep! What nerve!

    Is that gasoline I smell?!
[24:09] ---
    Why the old man?
    Does it have to do with the ghost ship?
[24:14] ---

    would ever flee from danger!
[24:22] ---
    Why me?!
