[01:57] ---
    Mahjong
[02:00] ---
    Should I lose the ryan-pin?
    (ryan-pin = two)
[02:02] ---
    A sha-bo would make the wait pointless...
    (sha-bo = double-pair)
[02:05] ---
    Wha...?! Are you messing
    with my pieces again?!
[02:09] ---
    Oh, come on. You're doing
    well tonight. Consider it a handicap!
[02:15] ---
    Ron! (winning move)
[02:19] ---
    Menchin, ipeiko, dora, dora...
[02:21] ---
    That's a baiman! (baiman = double)
[02:24] ---
    I lose!
[02:26] ---
    You're leaving, Okano?
[02:28] ---
    Yeah, I have no luck tonight.
    I'll be off now.
[02:33] ---
    Now we need another player...
[02:35] ---
    Let's ask Hida-san.
[02:37] ---
    Hida-san?
[02:38] ---
    He runs that finance company.
    He loves Mahjong.
[02:44] ---
    President's Office
[02:48] ---
    Hida Mitsuhiro (53)
[02:49] ---
    10 million. I'm all smiles tonight!
[02:56] ---
    Hello, this is Hida Financial.
[02:58] ---
    Ah, Hida-san! You're still there!
[03:02] ---
    Oh, it's you, Hasegawa-san.
[03:03] ---
    Do you hear this?
[03:07] ---
    We need another player,
    so I thought I'd ask...
[03:11] ---
    I'll be right there once
    I'm done counting this money!
[03:15] ---
    Is something the matter?
[03:17] ---
    I'll be there in half an hour!
    Play without me until then!
[03:22] ---
    Says it'll be thirty minutes
    and to keep playing until then.
[03:26] ---
    Great, then I'll play until then!
[03:28] ---
    Thanks, kid!
[03:30] ---
    Oh, no, you won't!
[03:32] ---
    I was wondering where you were!
[03:36] ---
    You brought him here,
    didn't you, Dad?!
[03:39] ---
    Alright, let's go!
[03:40] ---
    Hey, now!
[03:41] ---
    Say, would you wanna play
    for half an hour or so?
[03:45] ---
    I hate that stupid,
    gloomy grownup game!
[03:51] ---
    Ron!
[03:53] ---
    A dai-san-gen, su-an-ko,
    and tsui-i-so!
[03:56] ---
    A triple yakuman!
[03:56] ---
    A triple yakuman!
[04:00] ---
    I won again!
[04:01] ---
    Yeah...
[04:03] ---
    Where is Hida-san, anyway?
[04:05] ---
    I'll give him a call.
[04:12] ---
    Weird, he's not answering.
    But his lights are still on.
[04:15] ---
    Maybe something happened?
[04:17] ---
    Hey, yeah, he was strangely
    flustered when I called him earlier.
[04:21] ---
    Don't tell me he was robbed?!
[04:23] ---
    Let's check it out.
[04:28] ---
    Hey! Hida-san!
[04:30] ---
    Are you in there, Hida-san? Hida-san!
[04:33] ---
    Minamisawa Hisayoshi (34)
[04:34] ---
    What are you all doing here?
[04:37] ---
    Your boss never showed up,
    so we came to get him.
[04:42] ---
    He's still here?
[04:47] ---
    Incidentally, what are you doing here?
[04:50] ---
    I left my cell phone here.
[04:54] ---
    Ah. Here it is.
[04:57] ---
    This is it.
[04:58] ---
    So, where's your boss?
[05:00] ---
    His office, I'd assume.
[05:07] ---
    Sir! Sir!
[05:10] ---
    Is there a master key?
[05:12] ---
    He'd never make a master key;
    the vault's in there.
[05:16] ---
    Then we'll just have to bust it down!
[05:22] ---
    Sir!
[05:28] ---
    No good. He's gone.
[05:34] ---
    The deceased is
    Hida Mitsuhiro-san, 53.
[05:37] ---
    The cause was potassium
    cyanide-induced suffocation.
[05:40] ---
    He died some time
    between 7:00 and 7:30 p.m.
[05:45] ---
    Inspector.
[05:46] ---
    What is it, Takagi-kun?
[05:48] ---
    The key on the desk opens this door.
[05:53] ---
    And the fact that the windows
    were locked from the inside
[05:57] ---
    means this was an impossible
    crime and a locked-room murder!
[06:04] ---
    The security tape has
    you leaving at 7:04 p.m.
[06:09] ---
    Then he locks the door and returns
    to his office to balance accounts.
[06:15] ---
    Two hours later...
[06:18] ---
    ...you folks show up.
[06:22] ---
    Who were the two people
    with you when you left?
[06:25] ---
    Oh, that was--
[06:27] ---
    --us.
[06:30] ---
    Why'd you page me?!
[06:30] ---
    Fujii Takako (29)
[06:32] ---
    I was having fun
    doing karaoke with friends!
[06:36] ---
    Iino Hiroshi (31)
[06:36] ---
    What exactly is going on?
[06:40] ---
    Someone murdered your boss!
[06:45] ---
    Hmph. So the cretin finally
    got what he deserved.
[06:50] ---
    Geez...
[06:54] ---
    There sure is a lot
    of money strewn about!
[06:58] ---
    He's biting his nails.
    Is it a habit of his?
[07:01] ---
    Habit?
[07:02] ---
    Say, did your boss have any habits?
[07:05] ---
    Habits?
[07:06] ---
    Like when he counts
    money or something...
[07:09] ---
    Now that you mention it,
    he always spread the bills like a fan
[07:13] ---
    and then licked
    his right thumb like so.
[07:19] ---
    Who gave these bills to him?!
[07:21] ---
    I did...
[07:24] ---
    Then it's simple.
[07:26] ---
    The killer was you, lino-san!
[07:29] ---
    You laced the bills with poison in advance!
[07:33] ---
    That's crazy!
[07:34] ---
    Well?
[07:36] ---
    As Detective Mori said, poison was
    found on the victim's right thumb
[07:40] ---
    and several of the bills.
[07:42] ---
    What'd I tell ya!
[07:44] ---
    However, the poison on the
    bills was shaped like his thumbprint,
[07:49] ---
    so it was likely his
    thumb that put it there...
[07:53] ---
    You're sure about that?!
[07:55] ---
    Yes!
[07:58] ---
    Coffee...
[08:00] ---
    That's the coffee I gave him
    just before I left for the day.
[08:04] ---
    Then you're the killer!
[08:06] ---
    You probably smeared poison
    all over the cup handle!
[08:09] ---
    No, no poison was found
    on the cup or in the coffee.
[08:13] ---
    I see.
[08:15] ---
    We only found poison on the
    victim's thumb, several bills,
[08:20] ---
    and two other places--
[08:22] ---
    the inside door knob
    and the lock above it.
[08:27] ---
    What?!
[08:28] ---
    But just like on the bills, the poison
    was in the shape of his thumbprint,
[08:33] ---
    so it seems he touched them
    with the poison on his thumb.
[08:36] ---
    Come to think of it, he said the
    victim was flustered on the phone.
[08:41] ---
    What if he left the room halfway
    through counting the money,
[08:46] ---
    touched something with poison on it,
    returned to this room,
[08:50] ---
    and locked the door?
[08:53] ---
    But how'd they get him
    to touch whatever it was?!
[08:57] ---
    I hope you haven't touched
    anything since you arrived!
[09:01] ---
    All I've touched
    was this cell phone.
[09:05] ---
    May I hold on to that?
[09:08] ---
    Sure.
[09:10] ---
    Where's that woman?
[09:12] ---
    I'm in here.
[09:15] ---
    Hey, now! What are you doing?!
[09:19] ---
    Isn't it obvious? I'm making tea.
[09:22] ---
    You fool! Don't touch anything!
[09:25] ---
    Okay, okay.
[09:28] ---
    You haven't touched
    anything else, have you?!
[09:32] ---
    I used the restroom
    when I got here.
[09:35] ---
    And I used it after her...
[09:39] ---
    Anything else?!
[09:41] ---
    I used the computer
    a little bit...
[09:45] ---
    You! No dropping ashes here!
[09:55] ---
    Happy now, Mr. Detective?
[10:01] ---
    Why, you...
[10:02] ---
    Now, now!
[10:08] ---
    Huh? Is something wrong?
[10:10] ---
    You're all suspects! No wandering around!
[10:10] ---
    You're all suspects! No wandering around!
[10:20] ---
    Oops, I turned it on...
[10:24] ---
    Think it's OK to shut it off?
[10:26] ---
    Dunno...
[10:28] ---
    Don't touch that!
[10:30] ---
    I'll shut it off!
    Just don't touch anything!
[10:33] ---
    Yeah, one wrong key press
    and they'll find your data...
[10:39] ---
    The records of you
    embezzling company money.
[10:43] ---
    Embezzling?
[10:44] ---
    No! I haven't done anything!
[10:46] ---
    Don't tell me you killed him
    because he found out!
[10:50] ---
    That's absurd!
[10:52] ---
    You wanted to kill him too,
    Minamisawa-san.
[10:57] ---
    You were in tears
    when he blamed you
[11:00] ---
    for a client defaulting on a big loan!
[11:05] ---
    You were always wishing
    how he'd die already!
[11:11] ---
    Yeah, that's right.
[11:12] ---
    But if a borrower isn't gonna repay,
    he shouldn't borrow at all.
[11:18] ---
    You found no poison
    anywhere in the office?!
[11:22] ---
    Not even the restroom or break room?!
[11:24] ---
    No.
[11:25] ---
    It was potassium cyanide
    the victim touched.
[11:29] ---
    It can't be wiped cleanly away
    on such short notice.
[11:32] ---
    Which means it's
    on one of you three!
[11:38] ---
    I'll have to ask each of you
    to empty your pockets.
[11:42] ---
    You first, Minamisawa-san.
[11:43] ---
    Let's see.
[11:44] ---
    A wallet, watch, house key, notebook,
    train pass, and handkerchief.
[11:51] ---
    The handkerchief is a little damp.
[11:53] ---
    Because I just used the restroom.
[11:55] ---
    Next is Fujii-san.
[11:57] ---
    Oh? Your handkerchief is damp, too.
[12:00] ---
    Obviously. I also used the restroom.
[12:04] ---
    You're next, lino-san.
[12:05] ---
    Right.
[12:07] ---
    And another damp handkerchief.
[12:10] ---
    Oh, but yours is sopping wet.
[12:13] ---
    I tend to sweat a lot...
[12:18] ---
    None of their things came out positive?!
[12:18] ---
    None of their things came out positive?!
[12:22] ---
    No. Absolutely no poison was found.
[12:26] ---
    Then I'll be taking my things back.
[12:30] ---
    Fine with you, right?
[12:32] ---
    Yes...
[12:34] ---
    Conan-kun. Let's go home.
[12:37] ---
    Wait, I still--
[12:40] ---
    Huh? Say, that person's been
    like that this whole time...
[12:44] ---
    Wait! Could it be?!
[12:46] ---
    Wait, Conan-kun!
[12:48] ---
    Hey, Mister Examiner!
[12:50] ---
    You said you checked everything
    the victim might've touched, right?
[12:53] ---
    Yeah...
[12:54] ---
    Did you check for fingerprints, too?
[12:55] ---
    Yes, of course.
[12:57] ---
    In that case, what if--
[13:00] ---
    Yeah! I thought it
    was strange, myself!
[13:04] ---
    Conan-kun!
[13:06] ---
    Come on!
[13:08] ---
    They're gonna get mad
    if you poke around there!
[13:12] ---
    Conan-kun!
[13:14] ---
    Found it! Bleach!
[13:17] ---
    The spill-off is fresh!
    The killer used this!
[13:21] ---
    That person's actions,
[13:23] ---
    the unnatural fingerprints,
[13:25] ---
    and the time they
    entered the restroom!
[13:28] ---
    They manipulated and poisoned
    the victim in this otherwise empty office!
[13:34] ---
    As if by magic!
[13:36] ---
    
[13:42] ---
    Alright, you!
[13:43] ---
    Sneaking around again?!
[13:46] ---
    Ran! Take him home already!
[13:48] ---
    No choice!
[13:53] ---
    Dad?!
[13:55] ---
    Seriously, Mori-kun?!
[13:57] ---
    You know who did it?!
[13:59] ---
    Yes. The killer's aim
    was a locked-room murder.
[14:02] ---
    Ran. Return to my office and
    get the iodine from the first-aid kit.
[14:07] ---
    Are you hurt?
[14:08] ---
    The killer's identity will
    emerge once we have it.
[14:13] ---
    OK! I'll be right back!
[14:18] ---
    The killer got the victim to leave
    the room halfway through his counting
[14:23] ---
    and got him to touch
    something with poison on it.
[14:26] ---
    It was after he returned and locked
    the door that he was poisoned.
[14:31] ---
    The killer used the victim's
    habit of licking his right thumb
[14:36] ---
    before counting money.
[14:38] ---
    In which case, the killer was
    one of you three employees
[14:43] ---
    who knew of his habit
    and what he was doing tonight.
[14:48] ---
    Hold on! No poison was
    found outside this room!
[14:53] ---
    Besides, how did the killer
    get him to touch it?
[14:56] ---
    A certain something would make
    10 out of 10 people do the same thing.
[15:04] ---
    That's it! The phone!
[15:07] ---
    Anyone would pick up
    a ringing phone!
[15:10] ---
    Minamisawa-san!
[15:11] ---
    I bet you called from outside so he'd
    pick up your poison-covered phone!
[15:18] ---
    Not so.
[15:20] ---
    Minamisawa-san bites his nails.
[15:24] ---
    Yet, when he came to get his phone,
    he picked it up with his bare hands.
[15:30] ---
    Had there been poison, he'd have
    been too afraid to do such a thing
[15:35] ---
    because there'd be no telling
    where it had been touched.
[15:38] ---
    The computer, then!
[15:41] ---
    Iino-san! You had him turn it on
    to check some data, didn't you?!
[15:47] ---
    What?!
[15:48] ---
    I'm afraid not.
[15:50] ---
    There'd be no guarantee
    he'd turn it on with his thumb.
[15:54] ---
    Then what was the poison on?
[15:56] ---
    There was a way to make him
    touch something with his right thumb
[16:01] ---
    whether he wanted to or not.
[16:05] ---
    There it is now!
[16:08] ---
    The demonic call the killer
    used to lead him to his death!
[16:17] ---
    What's going on?!
[16:19] ---
    It's the teapot!
[16:23] ---
    The teapot?!
[16:28] ---
    Aha! That's it!
[16:31] ---
    The killer put poison
    on the knob here!
[16:35] ---
    Is that right, Mori-kun?!
[16:36] ---
    Yes.
[16:38] ---
    Gas stoves on the market are
    usually for right-handers.
[16:41] ---
    Poison left on the left side of the
    knob would be touched by a thumb.
[16:51] ---
    As proof, only this door's
    inside knob had poison on it.
[16:57] ---
    Which means he rushed out
    without closing the door,
[17:00] ---
    touched the poison
    in his flustered state,
[17:04] ---
    then closed it when he returned.
[17:07] ---
    So who used that trick
    to poison the president?!
[17:13] ---
    The only one who got
    near the stove afterwards...
[17:16] ---
    ...you, Fujii Takako-san!
[17:19] ---
    Yes. Just before you left,
    you put the teapot on the stove
[17:25] ---
    so the whistle would sound
    while he was counting the money.
[17:31] ---
    You planned to wipe
    the poison away tomorrow,
[17:35] ---
    but his body was found earlier
    than expected and the police showed up.
[17:41] ---
    Afraid the poison on the
    stove knob would be discovered,
[17:46] ---
    you entered the break room and
    wiped it off with your handkerchief.
[17:51] ---
    How's that? You said yourself it
    couldn't be wiped away so soon.
[17:57] ---
    Yes, it is impossible. Assuming
    it was an ordinary handkerchief.
[18:03] ---
    I brought the iodine, Dad!
[18:06] ---
    Iodine?
[18:07] ---
    Now, then, Inspector. Please put
    some iodine on her damp handkerchief.
[18:13] ---
    A single drop will shed
    light on everything!
[18:24] ---
    It's just going to
    make a brown stain...
[18:33] ---
    The color disappeared!
[18:35] ---
    Yes. Soaked into her handkerchief
    is neither water nor sweat!
[18:41] ---
    It's sodium thiosulfate!
[18:43] ---
    Sodium thiosulfate?
[18:45] ---
    A bleach used to remove color
    from disinfectants like iodine.
[18:50] ---
    It's also an antidote that neutralizes
    the effects of potassium chloride!
[18:56] ---
    There's still some
    in the restroom cabinet!
[18:58] ---
    Bleach with a special chemical
    that reacts at room temperature, that is.
[19:04] ---
    Takagi-kun! Check it out!
[19:05] ---
    Yes, sir!
[19:07] ---
    After the police found out,
    Fujii-san likely went straight to the restroom
[19:12] ---
    and soaked her
    handkerchief in the bleach.
[19:21] ---
    I can't believe I was
    found out so quickly.
[19:24] ---
    Fujii-san!
[19:25] ---
    So you did do it?!
[19:27] ---
    That's right. I killed
    that devious money-fiend.
[19:33] ---
    But, why?!
[19:36] ---
    Easy. My man borrowed money from him
[19:39] ---
    then hung himself
    when he couldn't pay it back.
[19:42] ---
    It's that simple.
[19:44] ---
    But you were always saying
    how borrowing money is wrong!
[19:48] ---
    Yeah. I wouldn't have
    bothered with revenge
[19:51] ---
    had he borrowed money for a car,
    a house, or gambling,
[19:57] ---
    but it was for my sake,
    so I had no choice.
[20:00] ---
    Your sake?
[20:01] ---
    I've always had a weak heart,
[20:04] ---
    and I was in the hospital between my
    college graduation and three years ago.
[20:08] ---
    My parents died early on and I had
    no friends because of my attitude,
[20:12] ---
    so only he ever visited me.
[20:15] ---
    He said he'd pay the
    hospital bills somehow.
[20:19] ---
    When I finally got better
    and went to his apartment,
[20:21] ---
    I found him dead with a
    Hida Financial loan form at his feet.
[20:27] ---
    So you joined the
    company to get revenge?!
[20:30] ---
    Yep. I waited for my
    chance this whole time.
[20:34] ---
    But, Detective.
    How did you know I did it?
[20:38] ---
    That'd be because of the left hand
    you kept in your coat the entire time.
[20:45] ---
    You always used your right hand
    to take out cigarettes or use a lighter.
[20:50] ---
    You used your left hand
    only once to turn the stove knob.
[20:54] ---
    You're a heavy smoker.
    You touch your lips when you smoke.
[20:59] ---
    Afraid of that, you purposely
    turned the knob with your left hand.
[21:04] ---
    Naturally, you kept your
    left hand in your pocket
[21:08] ---
    so you wouldn't accidentally
    smear the poison on anything.
[21:15] ---
    And to think my man
    got me to stop smoking...
[21:19] ---
    He must be laughing
    in the next world...
