[00:01] ---
    A racing second hand,
    a shooting comet!
[00:03] ---
    Conan's logic works great on
    hearts tired by modern society!
[00:07] ---
    Today's case is a stalker!
    Let's think about what bothers people!
[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 Stalker Murder Case
[01:52] ---
    The Stalker Murder Case.
[02:04] ---
    The air's so fresh!
[02:07] ---
    It sure is nice in
    the early morning!
[02:09] ---
    Yeah! Today is
    perfect walking weather!
[02:14] ---
    It was still dark when you woke
    me up. I didn't get enough sleep!
[02:26] ---
    Guts-Man!
[02:27] ---
    Hold on a sec.
[02:28] ---
    Are you going to drink something?
[02:30] ---
    I'm so sleepy I can't keep up...
[02:41] ---
    Two came out! I'm so lucky!
[02:46] ---
    Are you sure there
    wasn't one already there?
[02:50] ---
    I wouldn't drink it if I were you...
[02:57] ---
    But there are no signs
    of it being opened,
[03:01] ---
    and nothing looks
    out of the ordinary.
[03:04] ---
    Doesn't smell strange, either.
[03:07] ---
    Someone probably just forgot
    it after buying a bunch of 'em.
[03:17] ---
    Over there!
[03:33] ---
    Ran! Get an ambulance!
[03:34] ---
    Right!
[03:35] ---
    Come on! Hang in there!
[03:42] ---
    Hey!
[03:44] ---
    Guts-Man!
[03:45] ---
    Hey! Did you drink that?!
[03:53] ---
    Could it have been poisoned?!
[04:02] ---
    The deceased is Nagai
    Tatsuya-san, 26.
[04:06] ---
    He lived on 3rd Street
    in Midori-dai.
[04:09] ---
    Two train stops from here.
[04:15] ---
    What's the matter?
[04:17] ---
    I just thought I saw
    him somewhere before...
[04:24] ---
    There's paint on his shoulder...
[04:27] ---
    Inspector.
[04:28] ---
    The poison in the Guts-Man might
    be an organic phosphate compound.
[04:34] ---
    Organic phosphate?
[04:36] ---
    Yes. Small amounts cause
    nausea or drooling,
[04:41] ---
    while large amounts result
    in respiratory failure.
[04:46] ---
    Inspector Megure. This was
    an indiscriminate murder.
[04:51] ---
    What?!
[04:52] ---
    Follow me!
[04:56] ---
    Where are you going, Mori-kun?!
[05:00] ---
    Now, then.
[05:02] ---
    The killer placed the poisoned
    Guts-Man in the corner like so.
[05:10] ---
    Then Nagai-san stopped by
    and bought a Guts-Man.
[05:17] ---
    But it was the poisoned one
    he took, not the one he purchased.
[05:26] ---
    Then, after drinking it, the poison
    took effect and he collapsed.
[05:35] ---
    But is there proof the killer put
    the poisoned Guts-Man in there?
[05:41] ---
    Yes.
[05:43] ---
    This.
[05:45] ---
    I bought a Guts-Man here as well.
[05:48] ---
    When I did, I found an
    extra bottle down there.
[05:54] ---
    Say, there's a seal on
    that Guts-Man!
[06:00] ---
    It's for a special campaign,
    but it ended three days ago!
[06:06] ---
    As proof, there aren't
    any on your bottles.
[06:11] ---
    No, there aren't.
[06:15] ---
    Nor on this one!
[06:16] ---
    I see. This may
    serve as a vital clue.
[06:22] ---
    I just remembered! I stopped
    and questioned that man before!
[06:27] ---
    What?!
[06:28] ---
    It was about three weeks ago.
[06:30] ---
    A woman in an apartment up
    ahead reported being troubled
[06:34] ---
    by a creepy man who
    constantly followed her around.
[06:39] ---
    That's when I found
    this man loitering out in front!
[06:44] ---
    So that means he was a stalker!
[06:48] ---
    Yes. He followed
    her because he liked her.
[06:51] ---
    But he hadn't actually done anything,
    so I gave him a stern warning.
[06:59] ---
    What was his job?
[07:01] ---
    He said he was studying
    for entrance exams.
[07:05] ---
    Is that woman's
    apartment near here?
[07:08] ---
    Yeah, just past where he died...
[07:11] ---
    So maybe he was heading
    there again? Or following her?!
[07:17] ---
    Well?
[07:19] ---
    But she didn't report
    anything since then,
[07:23] ---
    so I figured he had
    stopped following her...
[07:26] ---
    Alright! Let's go
    talk to her for now!
[07:32] ---
    He's dead?!
[07:34] ---
    Yes. He consumed a poisoned
    energy drink only forty minutes ago.
[07:42] ---
    Pardon my asking,
    but where were you at the time?
[07:46] ---
    Forty minutes ago?
[07:49] ---
    I had just gotten home...
[07:51] ---
    I work at a restaurant in Haido.
[07:55] ---
    We close up at 4:00,
    so I left around 5:00.
[08:02] ---
    Did you take the train
    to Beika Station?
[08:05] ---
    Yes.
[08:06] ---
    And did you walk home from there?
[08:09] ---
    Yes.
[08:10] ---
    Which means it's just as Conan said...
[08:15] ---
    Let us see your map.
[08:16] ---
    Yes, sir.
[08:22] ---
    Nishitani-san. Please show us
    what route you took coming home.
[08:28] ---
    Alright...
[08:29] ---
    I went from the station like so.
[08:32] ---
    Just as I thought!
[08:34] ---
    She passed by the vending machine
    and the spot where he collapsed!
[08:40] ---
    What does that mean?!
[08:43] ---
    Nagai-san collapsed here.
[08:46] ---
    In other words,
    he was following you.
[08:49] ---
    That can't be!
[08:50] ---
    And I was so relieved once he
    disappeared after he was warned!
[08:58] ---
    Did she really not realize
    she was being followed?
[09:03] ---
    The windows and door
    have extra locks...
[09:06] ---
    And she even has
    defense spray ready...
[09:10] ---
    Were these merely from when
    she was afraid of her stalker?
[09:16] ---
    It was an organic phosphate
    compound in the Guts-Man.
[09:21] ---
    Only Nagai-san's fingerprints
    were found on the bottle.
[09:25] ---
    In other words, it's very likely
    the killer prepared it in advance.
[09:30] ---
    Did you determine where that
    Guts-Man bottle was purchased?
[09:34] ---
    Not yet, but if it
    was from that machine,
[09:39] ---
    then it was bought between yesterday
    afternoon and seven days ago.
[09:45] ---
    Yesterday, the company replaced
    all the bottles with seal-less ones.
[09:54] ---
    I see.
[09:55] ---
    Thank you.
[10:00] ---
    Nagai-san's mother recently
    moved here from Shizuoka.
[10:05] ---
    I checked her
    apartment and found this.
[10:13] ---
    Photos of that woman we spoke to.
[10:16] ---
    And they all seem to be sneak shots.
[10:20] ---
    I visited Nishitani-*san
    *again before coming here.
[10:24] ---
    She had no idea
    she was photographed...
[10:28] ---
    She seemed extremely shocked.
[10:30] ---
    Huh?
[10:31] ---
    That's not the same apartment...
[10:34] ---
    And that's not a restaurant...
[10:37] ---
    She lived in Yokohama,
    where she worked at a bakery
[10:42] ---
    and dreamed of
    opening her own store.
[10:46] ---
    Did she move here
    to escape Nagai-san?
[10:51] ---
    Apparently so.
[10:52] ---
    But she couldn't sleep due to fear,
[10:56] ---
    so she started working
    nights at a restaurant instead.
[11:01] ---
    She must've been so scared. Poor girl...
[11:05] ---
    But Nagai-san received money
    from his father, an ironsmith,
[11:09] ---
    so he didn't need to work.
[11:12] ---
    Meaning he could follow
    her whenever he wanted.
[11:17] ---
    That's one lousy man
    she got caught up with.
[11:20] ---
    About her...
[11:23] ---
    Did she really not know
    she was being followed?
[11:28] ---
    I agree. There's something about her!
[11:31] ---
    Are you saying she poisoned
    the Guts-Man and had him drink it?
[11:36] ---
    We can't rule it out.
[11:39] ---
    Perhaps she knew
    she was being followed,
[11:44] ---
    bought a Guts-Man from that machine,
[11:47] ---
    and left the poisoned
    one when she picked it up.
[11:51] ---
    If Nagai-san also bought
    one and grabbed the wrong one--
[11:55] ---
    But there was no guarantee
    he'd buy the same drink...
[12:01] ---
    Say, Inspector.
[12:03] ---
    You're forgetting
    something important. Look.
[12:06] ---
    See how the bottom ring is cut?
[12:09] ---
    Nobody would drink it if they saw
    the cap had already been undone.
[12:15] ---
    That's true!
[12:16] ---
    Which means the killer didn't
    leave it in that vending machine?
[12:22] ---
    Now nothing makes sense...
[12:25] ---
    Oh, one other thing
    about Nagai-san...
[12:28] ---
    His neighbors saw him leave his
    apartment around 10:00 last night
[12:34] ---
    with a small bag in hand.
[12:37] ---
    He was empty-handed
    when he collapsed this morning...
[12:41] ---
    It might have nothing to do with
    the incident, but it bothers me...
[12:46] ---
    A bag?
[12:56] ---
    Isn't there a way she could've
    had him drink an opened Guts-Man?
[13:05] ---
    Can't drink any more!
[13:07] ---
    Conan-kun! Let's swim!
[13:08] ---
    I'm gonna stay here a little longer.
[13:11] ---
    I'm gonna go swim then!
[13:19] ---
    What's with you guys?
[13:22] ---
    Nothing!
[13:22] ---
    Nothing!
[13:29] ---
    You're after the rest
    of her cola, aren't you?
[13:32] ---
    Yeah, right! That's crazy talk!
[13:35] ---
    Yeah!
[13:36] ---
    Let's take a swim,
    Mitsuhiko-kun!
[13:38] ---
    Good idea, Genta-san!
[13:39] ---
    It sure is hot!
[13:40] ---
    That it is!
[13:42] ---
    Geez. Kids acting like perverts...
[13:47] ---
    That's it! I've figured it out!
[13:50] ---
    
[13:57] ---
    I know how it was done,
    but there's no proof!
[14:03] ---
    Oh! Policeman!
[14:05] ---
    Conan-kun, was it?
[14:08] ---
    Yes!
[14:09] ---
    Are you questioning people?
[14:10] ---
    Yeah.
[14:11] ---
    I was hoping to learn that the
    victim bought the Guts-Man here...
[14:17] ---
    Did you check the fingerprints
    on the coins in the vending machine?
[14:21] ---
    Yes, but we didn't
    find the victim's prints.
[14:24] ---
    But we did find two coins totaling
    110 yen that had been wiped clean.
[14:30] ---
    So the killer did
    buy the Guts-Man here!
[14:34] ---
    If only this had
    been a bigger shop...
[14:36] ---
    Sometimes you'll catch
    'em on surveillance video...
[14:40] ---
    Video? What if-
[14:43] ---
    Say, did you check everything
    Nagai-san was carrying?
[14:47] ---
    What was he carrying?
    Mr. Mori asked me to ask you.
[14:51] ---
    Okay...
[14:53] ---
    Let's see...
[14:54] ---
    A wallet, a license, cigarettes,
    an apartment key, and a lighter.
[15:00] ---
    A lighter?! What kind?!
[15:04] ---
    It had a flip top and was a
    little bigger than normal ones.
[15:09] ---
    Where is it now?
[15:11] ---
    We returned it to
    the victim's mother.
[15:13] ---
    Great! Thanks!
[15:18] ---
    Pardon me!
[15:19] ---
    Yes?
[15:20] ---
    May I ask you something?
[15:21] ---
    Sure...
[15:27] ---
    The paint that was on the victim!
[15:29] ---
    Mister! Where did
    you get that paint?!
[15:34] ---
    Mori Detective Agency.
[15:36] ---
    Mori-kun. Megure here...
[15:42] ---
    But didn't you call me here?
[15:44] ---
    What are you talking about?
[15:46] ---
    You called me here.
[15:48] ---
    Huh?
[15:49] ---
    What is this about?
    I need to leave for work...
[15:52] ---
    Um, well...
[15:57] ---
    Inspector! It appears I called you.
[16:01] ---
    Oh! It's started! Please continue!
[16:04] ---
    Nishitani-san.
    Please tell work you won't be in.
[16:08] ---
    Because you're the one who
    poisoned and killed Nagai-san!
[16:17] ---
    What are you--
[16:19] ---
    That morning, you knew
    Nagai-san was following you
[16:24] ---
    so you bought a Guts-Man
    from that vending machine.
[16:28] ---
    Let us call that Bottle A.
[16:30] ---
    You then took your
    pre-prepared Bottle B
[16:36] ---
    and pretended to pick up
    Bottle A as he watched on.
[16:41] ---
    You removed the cap
    and drank it as you walked.
[16:46] ---
    Then you put a closed bottle on a wall.
[16:50] ---
    But it was not the Bottle B
    which you had just drunk;
[16:53] ---
    it was yet another bottle you had
    prepared in advance: Bottle C.
[16:59] ---
    Incidentally, stalkers are known
    to collect their prey's belongings.
[17:05] ---
    So Nagai-san naturally
    took Guts-Man Bottle C.
[17:09] ---
    He found a large amount
    of the drink left inside.
[17:14] ---
    As he was infatuated with you,
    he happily drank it down...
[17:19] ---
    ...unaware it had been poisoned.
[17:23] ---
    The reason you left the
    Guts-Man in the machine
[17:27] ---
    was to make it look like
    an indiscriminate murder.
[17:30] ---
    Your fingerprints were absent
    from the coins used to buy Bottle A
[17:36] ---
    and from empty Bottle C
[17:39] ---
    because you likely put glue on
    your fingers in the station restroom.
[17:48] ---
    Glue?!
[17:50] ---
    When we first visited, she slyly
    rubbed something off her fingers.
[17:58] ---
    It was dried glue.
[18:02] ---
    It's unnatural to wear
    gloves this time of year,
[18:06] ---
    and holding the bottle in a tissue
    would've roused his suspicion.
[18:10] ---
    So you used glue instead.
[18:14] ---
    Theorize all you want.
    You have no proof.
[18:18] ---
    Oh, but I do.
[18:20] ---
    Conan!
[18:23] ---
    Here.
[18:29] ---
    These are--
[18:38] ---
    It seems you didn't know he
    was secretly photographing you.
[18:43] ---
    I can't blame you; he was
    using a customized camera.
[18:50] ---
    A customized camera?
[18:53] ---
    This.
[18:56] ---
    This lighter works like normal,
[19:00] ---
    but slide this and it becomes a camera.
[19:03] ---
    This button works the shutter.
[19:13] ---
    He was good with his hands,
    like his skilled ironsmith father.
[19:20] ---
    Closer inspection of those
    photographs will show
[19:24] ---
    that there is a seal
    on the Guts-Man there.
[19:30] ---
    The special campaign seal?
[19:32] ---
    As you said, all the Guts-Man
    bottles in that vending machine
[19:38] ---
    were replaced with new, seal-less
    bottles yesterday afternoon.
[19:45] ---
    In other words...
[19:46] ---
    Yes.
[19:49] ---
    I killed him.
[19:52] ---
    I thought he would kill me if I didn't.
[19:56] ---
    What do you mean?
[19:58] ---
    One week ago, when I walked
    down the station stairs...
[20:09] ---
    His look said, "How dare you
    tell the police! I'm gonna kill you!"
[20:16] ---
    So I felt my only
    choice was to kill him first!
[20:22] ---
    Inspector. It's a fact that
    Nagai-san planned to kill her.
[20:27] ---
    What?!
[20:28] ---
    Look at the bag behind you.
[20:32] ---
    It belonged to Nagai-san,
[20:35] ---
    and was hidden by a nearby lamppost
    that had been freshly painted.
[20:43] ---
    Please have a look inside.
[20:47] ---
    Nagai-san probably planned to
    get the bag when she came home,
[20:53] ---
    wait for his chance to get inside
    by cutting a hole in the window,
[20:59] ---
    and then kill her with that knife.
[21:03] ---
    So she was almost--
[21:06] ---
    It won't hold up as self-defense,
[21:09] ---
    but you'll likely get off
    on mitigating circumstances.
[21:14] ---
    Nishitani-san.
[21:16] ---
    Atone for your sin
    as quickly as possible
[21:18] ---
    and then continue toward your
    dream of running your own bakery.
[21:25] ---
    You're still so very young.
[21:31] ---
    Thank you.
[23:11] ---
    This case really made me think,
    especially about stalkers.
[23:17] ---
    You do get clients who
    talk about being followed
[23:22] ---
    or receiving silent phone calls.
[23:25] ---
    Proving this kind of crime is difficult.
[23:28] ---
    The police won't do much,
    but even if they do do something,
[23:33] ---
    the instant the crazed person
    finds out you're strongly repulsed,
[23:38] ---
    they can turn into
    a full-fledged criminal.
[23:41] ---
    Yeah, I'll need to be careful.
[23:45] ---
    Don't worry! Nobody'd ever
    go crazy for a shrew like you!
[23:50] ---
    What'd you say?!
[23:57] ---
    I never wanna be on her bad side!
