**[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] ---**
Conan-*kun*!
**[24:17] ---**
There's no blood around
a part of his wrist!
**[24:22] ---**
The suspects are triplets?!
**[24:25] ---**
The Triplets Villa Murder Case
**[24:26] ---**
On the next Conan--
**[24:27] ---**
The Triplets Villa Murder Case.
**[24:47] ---**
Next Conan's Hint:
**[24:49] ---**
Home Run.
**[24:51] ---**
Next episode we're tricked by triplets.
**[24:54] ---**
Oh so maddening.
**[24:54] ---**
Osomatsu is about sextuplets.
**[24:56] ---**
