**[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!
**[23:33] ---**
This is the great
detective Kogoro Mori!
**[23:36] ---**
Dad's really popular! An art
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!
**[23:49] ---**
What kind of commercial was it?
**[23:51] ---**
One for sleeping pills!
**[23:53] ---**
Said all I had to do
was sleep! What nerve!
**[23:56] ---**
What do you mean?
That's perfect for you!
**[24:04] ---**
Is that gasoline I smell?!
**[24:09] ---**
Why the old man?
Does it have to do with the ghost ship?
**[24:14] ---**
