    A racing second hand,
    a shooting comet!
[00:02] ---
    Conan's logic heals hearts
    dried by modern society!
[00:06] ---
    Today's case is
    the darkness of night.
[00:08] ---
    Dark mysteries need
    the light of logic!
[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 Pitch Dark Road Murder Case
[01:52] ---
    The Pitch Dark Road Murder Case.
[01:59] ---
    Wasn't that delicious, Conan-kun?
[02:02] ---
    Yeah!
[02:03] ---
    Ugh! You ordered nothing
    but expensive food!
[02:07] ---
    Oh! If it isn't Mori!
[02:09] ---
    Omura! Long time, no see!
[02:09] ---
    Omura Jun (37)
[02:12] ---
    You seem as lively as ever.
[02:14] ---
    Do you remember Omura-san?
[02:17] ---
    Yeah! He's his college friend
    that we met at the hot springs!
[02:21] ---
    This is perfect timing, Mori.
    I need to talk to you...
[02:26] ---
    What about?
[02:27] ---
    There's this strange sound
    outside my apartment every night.
[02:32] ---
    A strange sound?
[02:34] ---
    It's a thump, as if something's
    hitting the outside wall.
[02:38] ---
    Probably just some
    kids up to no good.
[02:42] ---
    I thought so too, but there was
    nobody outside when I checked,
[02:47] ---
    and it's been going
    on for a whole week now.
[02:50] ---
    A whole week, huh...
[02:52] ---
    Why not look into it for him?
[02:55] ---
    Please, Mori.
[02:58] ---
    Alright! Just leave it
    to the great Mori Kogoro!
[03:03] ---
    Thank you!
[03:11] ---
    Delicious!
[03:13] ---
    Nothing beats drinking
    beer with old friends!
[03:16] ---
    I thought you were here
    to investigate the weird sound.
[03:20] ---
    Oh, looks like we're out of beer.
[03:23] ---
    I'll go buy some.
[03:24] ---
    No, I'll do that!
[03:26] ---
    Thank you!
[03:49] ---
    You're disturbing the neighbors!
[03:53] ---
    We're back!
[03:56] ---
    Been waiting for this!
[04:04] ---
    What was that?
[04:10] ---
    What happened here?
[04:12] ---
    Hey, Ikuta. What's wrong?
[04:14] ---
    Ikuta! Come on, already! Ikuta!
[04:17] ---
    Quit playin' around!
[04:19] ---
    Ikuta! Ikuta!
[04:23] ---
    He's dead!
[04:24] ---
    What?!
[04:33] ---
    Ran! Get the police!
[04:34] ---
    Right!
[04:36] ---
    A blow to the head
    with a blunt object...
[04:41] ---
    So many cigarette butts...
[04:48] ---
    The victim is Ikuta
    Yoshiro-san, 20 years old.
[04:51] ---
    A 2nd-year student at Beika University.
[04:54] ---
    And you are?
[04:56] ---
    Kusaka Masami (20)
[04:56] ---
    Kusaka. I'm a college friend of Ikuta's.
[05:02] ---
    Could you explain the
    situation as you found it?
[05:05] ---
    Yes.
[05:06] ---
    Ikuta and I agreed to
    meet up here at 10:00 pm.
[05:10] ---
    But just as I called out to him,
    he suddenly collapsed...
[05:14] ---
    Did you notice anyone else?
[05:17] ---
    No.
[05:18] ---
    But it was really
    too dark to see much...
[05:22] ---
    With that light broken,
    I could barely even see Ikuta...
[05:28] ---
    You sure you didn't kill him?
[05:31] ---
    I didn't do it!
[05:32] ---
    Please let me through!
[05:34] ---
    Hey! Wait!
[05:37] ---
    Shimizu!
[05:38] ---
    Kusaka! Why did he die?!
[05:40] ---
    Pardon me, but who are you?
[05:42] ---
    My name's Shimizu.
[05:42] ---
    Shimizu Yoichi (20)
[05:44] ---
    I was just drinking with Ikuta
    in our friend's apartment.
[05:47] ---
    Where would that be?
[05:49] ---
    There, on the fifth floor.
[05:53] ---
    Eh?!
[05:54] ---
    Ikuta was murdered?!
[05:57] ---
    Whose apartment is this?
[05:58] ---
    lt's mine.
[05:58] ---
    Takeno Koji (20)
[06:00] ---
    My name's Takeno. I'm a
    2nd-year student along with Ikuta.
[06:04] ---
    And you are?
[06:06] ---
    Nakamura. We're all members
    of the mountain climbing club.
[06:11] ---
    Ikuta-san drank with you all here?
[06:14] ---
    Yes, I invited everyone over.
    We've been here since 7:00...
[06:19] ---
    Around what time
    did Ikuta-san step outside?
[06:22] ---
    A little before 10:00.
    Kusaka had called at 9:00.
[06:26] ---
    Hold on! I never called anyone!
[06:30] ---
    That can't be. Right, Takeno?
[06:32] ---
    Yeah. Ikuta wasn't here,
    so I answered for him.
[06:36] ---
    Where was he?
[06:39] ---
    Takeno had asked him to buy
    snacks at the convenience store.
[06:43] ---
    You're certain it was
    Kusaka-san's voice on the phone?
[06:45] ---
    Yes. There's no mistake.
[06:48] ---
    I didn't call!
[06:49] ---
    Then how did you
    decide where to meet?
[06:52] ---
    Ikuta asked me there.
    He put a note in my locker.
[06:56] ---
    Why did he ask you there?
[06:58] ---
    Um, well...
[07:00] ---
    Didn't you say Ikuta
    took your money?
[07:05] ---
    What is he talking about?
[07:06] ---
    Ikuta took the tuition
    money I took to school...
[07:10] ---
    Do you still have that note of his?
[07:12] ---
    No, I threw it out.
[07:15] ---
    Or maybe there never was a note?!
[07:20] ---
    Ikuta-san stole your tuition
    money and refused to give it back.
[07:26] ---
    So you phoned him out of
    anger and beat him to death!
[07:30] ---
    No! Besides, I'm not the
    only one who hated him!
[07:34] ---
    Nakamura and Takeno did too!
[07:38] ---
    Why did I?!
[07:39] ---
    You owed him lots of money!
[07:42] ---
    I was in here the whole time!
    Right, Shimizu?
[07:45] ---
    Yeah. But you did step
    out for some fresh air.
[07:51] ---
    Around what time was this?
[07:53] ---
    Around 10:00, when Ikuta had left.
[07:56] ---
    The same time the incident occurred...
[07:58] ---
    But it was only for a few minutes!
[08:00] ---
    And why did you have
    a grudge against Ikuta-san?
[08:05] ---
    Ikuta and Togawa Keiko got stranded
    in the mountains six months ago.
[08:11] ---
    Ikuta abandoned the injured
    Keiko and left by himself.
[08:17] ---
    She had already frozen
    to death when we found her.
[08:21] ---
    She and Takeno had been lovers!
[08:25] ---
    Is this true?!
[08:28] ---
    Inspector.
[08:29] ---
    In mountain accidents, sometimes
    you have to abandon your friends.
[08:35] ---
    I feel bad about Keiko,
    but I don't blame Ikuta at all!
[08:39] ---
    Besides, I never took a single
    step out of this apartment!
[08:44] ---
    That's true; he was
    inside the whole time.
[08:46] ---
    At 10:00, he went to the next
    room to finish a report for class.
[08:53] ---
    How long was he alone?
[08:56] ---
    Twenty or thirty minutes...
[08:58] ---
    But you can't get outside
    without going through this room,
[09:01] ---
    so I can't see how
    he could've done it.
[09:04] ---
    But a mountain climber could easily
[09:06] ---
    climb down a rope from the window.
[09:10] ---
    Not from that window.
    See for yourself.
[09:22] ---
    See?
[09:27] ---
    That's as far as it goes?
[09:31] ---
    No way anyone could
    leave through here.
[09:34] ---
    Say, why did you have the lights
    off if you were writing a report?
[09:39] ---
    I saw on the way back from the store.
[09:42] ---
    The lights weren't
    on in this room then.
[09:45] ---
    Um, well--
[09:47] ---
    Who cares about that?!
[09:50] ---
    As there's no way through that
    window, Takeno-san is innocent!
[10:01] ---
    A slingshot?
[10:04] ---
    The only phone is in this room?
[10:11] ---
    A red thread...
[10:16] ---
    Those are the same cigarettes...
[10:19] ---
    Ikuta-san must've
    been a heavy smoker.
[10:23] ---
    Alright...
[10:26] ---
    Conan-kun!
[10:31] ---
    Omura-san's apartment is
    directly below Takeno-san's!
[10:34] ---
    Come to think of it,
    why did the window break then?!
[10:41] ---
    Omura's Apartment
[10:43] ---
    Odd. Whatever broke
    the window isn't in here.
[10:48] ---
    Blood!
[10:51] ---
    Is it the victim's?!
    But what's it doing here?!
[10:55] ---
    Isn't this a bloodstain?
[10:56] ---
    What?!
[10:59] ---
    No question about it!
[11:01] ---
    Alright! I'll inform Inspector Megure!
[11:09] ---
    What's a bloodstain doing here?!
[11:12] ---
    Ikuta-san was standing
    here in the dark.
[11:19] ---
    Could it be?!
[11:21] ---
    That bloodstain,
    the place he was standing,
[11:25] ---
    and Omura-san's broken
    window all line up!
[11:28] ---
    Which means...
[11:30] ---
    ...at the top of this
    building, there's--
[11:40] ---
    A bloodstain!
[11:42] ---
    And there's
    Takeno-san's apartment!
[11:45] ---
    Now I know who killed him and how!
[11:55] ---
    Conan-kun! Where did you go?!
[11:57] ---
    Just looking around.
[12:09] ---
    I'm getting dizzy...
[12:14] ---
    Could I ask you to
    come down to the station?
[12:17] ---
    Not so fast, Inspector Megure.
[12:20] ---
    I will now shed light
    on the truth of this incident.
[12:26] ---
    What?!
[12:27] ---
    The key to this incident is
    the location of the murder weapon.
[12:30] ---
    Yes. It was absent
    from the scene of the crime.
[12:34] ---
    A bloodstain was left behind
    on the nearby abandoned building,
[12:40] ---
    but there's one other
    place with a bloodstain.
[12:43] ---
    What?! Where?!
[12:46] ---
    I was in Omura's apartment at the time,
[12:50] ---
    but something odd happened.
[12:52] ---
    Something odd?
[12:54] ---
    Immediately after the murder,
    Omura's window shattered.
[12:59] ---
    Does that have to do with this?
[13:02] ---
    There was blood
    on the pieces of glass.
[13:06] ---
    What does that entail?
[13:08] ---
    Before I explain,
    I'd like you to check something.
[13:13] ---
    The roof of the abandoned building.
[13:15] ---
    If I'm correct, there should
    be blood on the railing
[13:18] ---
    directly above
    the bloodstain on the wall.
[13:21] ---
    What?!
[13:22] ---
    Detective Takagi! Go check it out!
[13:24] ---
    Yes, sir!
[13:25] ---
    Give him a two-way radio.
[13:28] ---
    A radio?
[13:30] ---
    I'd like him to help
    with something later on.
[13:38] ---
    What the...
[13:40] ---
    Inspector! There's blood
    on the railing here!
[13:43] ---
    What?! Blood on the railing?!
[13:45] ---
    Just as I suspected.
[13:48] ---
    What does this mean?
[13:50] ---
    The wall, the railing, the glass
    shards in Omura-san's apartment...
[13:56] ---
    Why is there blood
    at these three spots?!
[14:00] ---
    The weapon that killed Ikuta-*san
    *passed by those three spots.
[14:05] ---
    In other words, the killer
    accomplished his murder from afar.
[14:09] ---
    Yes. The killer had
    been in this very room...
[14:13] ---
    It was you, Takeno-san!
[14:15] ---
    What?!
[14:17] ---
    No way!
[14:19] ---
    Are you serious, Mori-san?!
[14:21] ---
    I couldn't possibly
    kill him from here!
[14:24] ---
    Does anyone have fishing line?
[14:27] ---
    Fishing line?
[14:28] ---
    I do.
[14:30] ---
    I use it to hang up plastic models.
[14:33] ---
    Bring some here.
[14:34] ---
    Okay.
[14:37] ---
    Ran. Put some rocks in
    that plastic bag you got earlier.
[14:43] ---
    Okay.
[14:46] ---
    Here you go, Mori.
[14:48] ---
    What're you going to do with this?
[14:50] ---
    Now then, Inspector.
[14:51] ---
    Tie two strands of
    fishing line to a rock.
[14:56] ---
    Alright...
[14:58] ---
    Here, Inspector.
[15:01] ---
    Once you're done,
    use Takeno-san's slingshot
[15:06] ---
    to shoot the rock onto
    the other building's roof.
[15:11] ---
    It's only a dozen meters away;
    the length of a few taxicabs.
[15:16] ---
    Anyone can shoot it that far.
[15:21] ---
    Inspector.
[15:22] ---
    Have Detective Takagi untie the lines,
[15:25] ---
    pass them through the railing,
    and then tie them together.
[15:32] ---
    Next, the rope on that shelf.
[15:35] ---
    Rope? Oh, that?
[15:39] ---
    Tie one of the
    lines to one end of it.
[15:44] ---
    Like so?
[15:46] ---
    Now pull the other fishing line in.
[16:01] ---
    Mori-kun. What do I do with this rope?
[16:05] ---
    Ran. Tie the bag to
    the other end of the rope.
[16:09] ---
    Right.
[16:14] ---
    Tie it tight so nothing comes out.
[16:18] ---
    All done, Dad!
[16:20] ---
    Mori-kun! Don't tell me this is the--
[16:24] ---
    Sounds like you've figured it out, too.
[16:31] ---
    Inspector! I'm at the spot!
[16:33] ---
    Good! Now we'll start!
[16:34] ---
    Eh? Start what?
[16:42] ---
    Well, Detective Takagi?!
[16:45] ---
    The bag passed directly above
    the chalk lines and hit the wall!
[16:49] ---
    It's right next to the bloodstain!
[16:51] ---
    Takeno-san murdered Ikuta-san thusly,
[16:55] ---
    and then pulled the
    rope in to recover the weapon.
[16:59] ---
    This would leave no
    weapon at the murder scene.
[17:07] ---
    Inspector! The bag just hit
    below Omura-san's broken window!
[17:12] ---
    Mori! Could that be the
    thump I heard every night?
[17:17] ---
    Yes. Takeno-san had been practicing.
[17:21] ---
    But something unexpected
    happened tonight:
[17:24] ---
    the weapon hit the window.
[17:27] ---
    So that's what broke it...
[17:30] ---
    Takeno.
[17:32] ---
    Mori-san!
[17:33] ---
    Ikuta went down there because
    Kusaka asked him to on the phone!
[17:38] ---
    Had he not called,
    I couldn't have set that trick up!
[17:42] ---
    Kusaka-san never
    called anyone. It was all an act.
[17:48] ---
    But we did hear the phone ring!
[17:52] ---
    He could make it "ring" at any time
[17:54] ---
    by recording the sound and
    setting a timer on it.
[17:59] ---
    All he had left to do
    was pick up the phone
[18:01] ---
    and pretend like he
    was talking to Kusaka-san.
[18:06] ---
    It was also Takeno-san who put
    the note in Kusaka-san's locker.
[18:11] ---
    All to frame him
    for Ikuta-san's murder!
[18:15] ---
    But how did he know where
    Ikuta-san was standing?
[18:19] ---
    It was pitch-black
    with the streetlight broken...
[18:24] ---
    Takeno-san broke it in advance
    to make us think that way.
[18:28] ---
    Wouldn't that make it harder
    to know where he'd be?!
[18:32] ---
    No, he knew where Ikuta-san was,
    even in the dark.
[18:37] ---
    That's ridiculous. I'm not a bat.
[18:40] ---
    Ran.
[18:41] ---
    What was Ikuta-san doing on
    your way back from the store?
[18:45] ---
    Well, he was standing
    beneath the broken streetlight...
[18:49] ---
    Oh yeah, and he was smoking!
[18:51] ---
    As a heavy smoker, Ikuta-*san
    *dropped lots of cigarette butts.
[18:56] ---
    Takeno-san. You aimed
    at the light from the cigarette
[19:01] ---
    and dropped the weapon on him.
[19:05] ---
    You had the lights off to prevent
    anyone from seeing the weapon!
[19:10] ---
    Which means there's a plastic
    bag full of rocks still in here!
[19:17] ---
    Then check the apartment!
    I have no plastic bags!
[19:22] ---
    Takeno-san.
[19:23] ---
    Those are some thick
    socks for this time of year.
[19:29] ---
    Those are mountain-climbing socks.
[19:32] ---
    You turned them inside-out
    and filled them with rocks.
[19:37] ---
    Later, you put the rocks in
    the fish tank and fixed your socks.
[19:41] ---
    As proof, there's a
    thread in the water plant!
[19:46] ---
    One that's the same
    color as your socks.
[19:52] ---
    These are sturdy enough to be
    used as the weapon and not rip...
[19:57] ---
    There should be blood
    on the inside of those socks.
[20:01] ---
    Ikuta-san's blood!
[20:03] ---
    Mind if I have a look, Takeno-san?
[20:08] ---
    There's no need.
[20:10] ---
    Takeno!
[20:12] ---
    Did you do it because of
    Togawa Keiko-san's death?
[20:16] ---
    Yes.
[20:17] ---
    As I said, sometimes you have to
    abandon friends in mountain accidents.
[20:24] ---
    I constantly told myself
    I couldn't blame Ikuta.
[20:29] ---
    But when I think about
    never seeing her again,
[20:32] ---
    I feel as if I've been
    left all alone in this world,
[20:35] ---
    I was so lonely that
    I felt I was going crazy.
[20:39] ---
    Then, when I entered a pub one day...
[20:43] ---
    Yeah, that's right!
[20:46] ---
    Keiko dumped me so I left her to die!
[20:52] ---
    That's horrible!
[21:02] ---
    He had to pay for letting my
    precious Keiko die for no reason!
[21:09] ---
    And so did Kusaka,
    who laughed at the story!
[21:17] ---
    The rest was just as Mori-san said!
[22:56] ---
    Nothing beats beer after
    solving a crime! It's the greatest!
[23:02] ---
    It's getting late;
    we should call it quits for--
[23:07] ---
