[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!
[01:51] ---
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!
[24:01] ---
Next Episode
[24:11] ---

[24:17] ---
There's no blood around
a part of his wrist!
[24:22] ---
The suspects are triplets?!

Oh so maddening.
