**[00:00] ---**
**[00:26] Conan**
Propelled forward by the
years spent together.
**[00:28] Conan**
Charging full speed ahead
without slowing the pace.
**[00:30] Conan**
A mysterious visible mirage
triggers an invisible case.
**[00:33] Conan**
Always determining the one truth with the
body of a child and the mind of an adult,
**[00:37] Conan**
his name is Detective Conan!
***SIGN*** Mirage of the Disappearing Angel
**[02:19] Conan**
Mirage of the Disappearing Angel!
***SIGN*** Mori Detective Agency
**[02:25] Mori**
I see...
**[02:27] Mori**
You want me to find your missing husband.
**[02:31] Midori**
Yes. This is my husband Aoki Satoru.
***SIGN*** Aoki Satoru (52)
Artist
**[02:36] Midori**
Aoki is an artist.
**[02:38] Midori**
He's left to paint before without
telling me where he was going.
***SIGN*** Aoki Midori (54)
Aoki's Wife
**[02:43] Midori**
But he always reported his progress.
**[02:49] Midori**
He'd sent photos of his canvas every day.
**[02:52] Mori**
I see.
**[02:54] Mori**
And that stopped the day before yesterday.
**[02:56] Midori**
Yes. This is the last image I received.
**[02:59] Ran**
It's beautiful.
**[03:01] Midori**
But it's a strange painting.
**[03:04] Mori**
How do you mean?
**[03:05] Midori**
Aoki only paints what he
sees with his own eyes.
**[03:10] Midori**
But that painting is otherworldly.
**[03:14] Mori**
Indeed...
**[03:16] Mori**
Did he change his style?
**[03:19] Conan**
I know where Aoki-san is.
**[03:24] Ran**
The water's beautiful.
**[03:26] Mori**
You're sure this is it?
**[03:29] Conan**
Yeah.
**[03:30] Conan**
Those light blue waves he painted
**[03:33] Conan**
are a natural phenomenon called
a "firefly squid suicide."
**[03:37] Conan**
Schools of glowing firefly squids only
wash up on the beach in Toyama Bay.
**[03:44] Conan**
It was last observed here on this beach.
**[03:48] Midori**
That's pretty obscure.
**[03:51] Conan**
I-I saw it on TV...
**[03:54] Mori**
Sheesh.
**[03:55] Ran**
But how will we find him now?
**[03:57] Mori**
We'll start by investigating nearby lodgings.
**[04:11] Midori**
Darling!
**[04:13] Midori**
Darling!
**[04:17] Police**
The deceased is painter
Aoki Satoru, fifty-two years old.
***SIGN*** Detective Sawada (29)
Toyama Police
***SIGN*** Inspector Sakai (58)
Toyama Police
**[04:21] Sakai**
I see.
**[04:22] Sakai**
You identified him rather quickly.
**[04:25] Sawada**
Yes, because
**[04:27] Sawada**
his wife was here looking
for him with a detective.
**[04:32] Mori**
I'm Detective Mori Kogoro.
**[04:35] Sakai**
Mori?
**[04:37] Sakai**
Oh! The Sleeping Kogoro?
**[04:39] Mori**
Did he drown?
**[04:41] Sawada**
Probably. He died last
night between 8 and 11.
**[04:48] Sakai**
The seas were rough last night.
**[04:51] Sawada**
Yes. And we found this in his jacket.
**[04:55] Sakai**
So he was drunk.
**[04:57] Mori**
According to his wife,
Aoki-san had a bad leg.
**[05:01] Mori**
He dragged one leg as he walked.
**[05:04] Mori**
He probably tripped and fell into the ocean.
**[05:08] Sawada**
Actually—
**[05:09] Conan**
Huh?
**[05:10] Conan**
This man has a bruise on his cheek.
**[05:14] Conan**
Look.
**[05:15] Sakai**
He might have gotten it
when he fell into the ocean.
**[05:17] Sawada**
It's possible someone hit him.
**[05:21] Sakai**
Yes.
**[05:22] Mori**
Wandering around the crime scene again?
***SIGN*** Ishiguro Chuji (57)
Fisherman
**[05:31] Mori**
Who is that?
**[05:33] Sakai**
A local fisherman named Ishiguro.
**[05:36] Sakai**
He's a hard worker, but he fights a lot.
**[05:42] Sawada**
Excuse me.
**[05:43] Sawada**
We're the police who contacted you earlier.
**[05:47] Taro**
Yes. Aoki-san has been staying
here since two weeks ago.
***SIGN*** Hayashi Taro (57)
Hotel Manager
**[05:53] Taro**
I had no idea he'd died...
**[05:57] Taro**
Let me know if you need anything.
**[06:00] Sawada**
Thank you.
**[06:03] Ran**
Huh?
**[06:04] Ran**
There's no painting.
**[06:10] Conan**
I found Aoki-san's painting.
**[06:13] Sakai**
What's it doing in there?
**[06:16] Conan**
Sunlight, dust, and changing temperatures
are bad for oil paintings.
**[06:20] Conan**
That's probably why he kept it here.
**[06:24] Midori**
That's the painting he sent me.
**[06:27] Conan**
No, look.
**[06:29] Conan**
He added something.
**[06:31] All**
What?
**[06:32] Ran**
You're right.
**[06:33] Ran**
There's something in the sky.
**[06:36] Midori**
Could it be our house?
**[06:41] Sakai**
It does look similar.
**[06:43] Ran**
Doesn't this look like an
angel ascending into the sky?
**[06:47] Mori**
The white thing under it must
be a soul led by the angel.
**[06:53] Conan**
But I thought Aoki-san only
painted what he saw...
**[06:57] Mori**
He was probably drunk and hallucinating.
**[07:00] Midori**
Perhaps he predicted he'd
be called to heaven soon.
**[07:10] Midori**
Ah, that's Aoki's digital camera.
**[07:14] Midori**
He photographed everything he painted.
**[07:19] Midori**
He painted from those photos.
**[07:23] Conan**
Let me see!
**[07:24] Sawada**
What? Okay...
**[07:26] Conan**
*I knew it.*
**[07:28] Mori**
What are you doing?
**[07:29] Conan**
The photo he painted from has been erased!
**[07:34] Mori**
Wh-What?
**[07:35] Conan**
The firefly squid suicide
happened ten days ago.
**[07:39] Conan**
There's no data from that day.
**[07:42] Mori**
You're right.
**[07:43] Mori**
There's no folder for May 6th.
**[07:47] Taro**
What? The digital camera's
data had been erased?
**[07:51] Sawada**
Yes. Do you remember anything?
**[07:56] Taro**
Come to think of it,
last night around midnight...
**[08:04] Taro**
*Yes?*
**[08:09] Taro**
*Aoki-san?*
**[08:13] Sakai**
The victim was already dead by then.
**[08:17] Sakai**
You didn't see Aoki-san,
but possibly the man who killed him instead.
**[08:23] Mori**
Why didn't you notice?
**[08:26] Taro**
I'm sorry.
**[08:27] Taro**
It was dark...
**[08:29] Taro**
He was dragging one foot,
so I thought it was him.
**[08:34] Mori**
That must be it.
**[08:35] Mori**
The murderer disguised himself as the
victim and came to erase the photo.
**[08:40] Mori**
Something incriminating
must've been in the photo.
**[08:43] Conan**
I know!
**[08:44] All**
What?
**[08:44] Conan**
They must be psychic.
**[08:47] Mori**
What?
**[08:48] Mori**
What are you talking about?
**[08:50] Conan**
They went right to Aoki-san's room, right?
**[08:54] Conan**
Only a psychic would've
known where his room was.
**[08:59] Mori**
You're right...
**[09:00] Mori**
With all the other rooms here, it's
impossible to head straight to that one.
**[09:05] Sakai**
So the murderer had visited
Aoki-san's room before.
**[09:15] Ran**
His wife seemed pretty depressed.
**[09:18] Ran**
Should we have let her go home by herself?
**[09:23] Mori**
Her husband's dead.
**[09:25] Mori**
She can't help it.
**[09:27] Mori**
We just have to find who did it.
**[09:34] Yosuke**
What?
***SIGN*** Akagi Yosuke (21)
Permanent Part-Timer
**[09:35] Yosuke**
I just told the police about that.
**[09:39] Mori**
Actually, I'm not with them...
**[09:43] Conan**
His wife asked you to trace her
husband's last steps, right?
**[09:48] Mori**
Y-Yeah.
**[09:50] Yosuke**
In that case, yeah, I met Aoki-san.
**[09:55] Yosuke**
I've been looking for my missing girlfriend.
**[09:59] Yosuke**
I visited that hotel the day before last
**[10:03] Yosuke**
to hand out these fliers.
**[10:05] Yosuke**
*I appreciate your help.*
**[10:07] Taro**
*I know it's hard, but don't give up.*
**[10:10] Yosuke**
*Right. Thank you.*
**[10:15] Aoki**
*Excuse me.*
**[10:23] Aoki**
*She's long gone.*
**[10:25] Aoki**
*Give up.*
**[10:27] Yosuke**
*Wh-What did you say?!*
**[10:29] Yosuke**
It made me furious!
**[10:32] Yosuke**
But I haven't seen him since.
**[10:36] Mori**
I see...
***SIGN*** Shirakawa Kazushi (49)
Traveler
**[10:40] Kazushi**
I saw him two nights ago.
**[10:44] Kazushi**
I was walking along the beach
to witness the famous mirage.
**[10:50] Kazushi**
That's when...
**[10:55] Kazushi**
He looked deep in thought,
like he was contemplating suicide.
**[11:01] Kazushi**
So I spoke to him.
**[11:04] Kazushi**
We got along quite well.
**[11:06] Kazushi**
That night we got drunk in his room.
**[11:10] Mori**
Really?
**[11:13] Conan**
Hey, is this...?
**[11:16] Kazushi**
Hey, kid!
**[11:19] Kazushi**
You can't look through people's stuff.
**[11:22] Conan**
Sorry.
**[11:24] Mori**
Did Aoki-san kill himself?
**[11:30] Conan**
Huh?
**[11:34] Kazushi**
I'd like these, please.
**[11:36] Clerk**
Are they gifts for your family?
**[11:38] Kazushi**
Yes, for my wife and daughter.
**[11:46] Chuji**
What's that?
**[11:49] Mori**
You're the last one...
**[11:54] Chuji**
I saw him yesterday morning when I was
delivering fresh fish to the hotel.
**[12:02] Chuji**
*He hasn't touched it at all!*
**[12:05] Taro**
*Sorry. He just didn't want it.*
**[12:08] Chuji**
*What?!*
**[12:09] Chuji**
*Where is he?!*
**[12:11] Chuji**
Us fisherman risk our lives to catch that!
**[12:15] Chuji**
I can't sit quietly while someone wastes it!
**[12:20] Mori**
So you went to his room?
**[12:23] Chuji**
Yeah, but I didn't lay a finger on him.
**[12:26] Conan**
Where'd you get those scars?
**[12:30] Chuji**
This? I was in an accident
at sea three years ago.
**[12:34] Chuji**
Since then, I haven't had full control.
**[12:44] Mori**
Who did it?
**[12:48] Mori**
None of them have alibis.
**[12:51] Mori**
Is this really a murder, anyway?
**[12:55] Mori**
Or an accident? Or a suicide?
**[12:58] Mori**
Damn it!
**[12:59] Mori**
I have no idea!
**[13:01] Ran**
Huh? What are they looking at?
**[13:05] Conan**
Probably the spring mirage.
**[13:08] Conan**
Uozu is famous for its mirages, too.
**[13:12] Conan**
*Mirage?*
**[13:14] Conan**
*Could that have been...*
**[13:16] Conan**
*If that's true, then...*
**[13:24] Mori**
I'm exhausted!
**[13:27] Ran**
We were walking around all day.
**[13:30] Taro**
Did you find whoever erased the
video from Aoki-san's camera?
**[13:37] Mori**
Unfortunately, no.
**[13:39] Taro**
I see.
**[13:41] Taro**
It's ready.
**[13:44] Mori**
This looks delicious!
**[13:46] Taro**
I caught these fish this afternoon.
**[13:50] Ran**
Really? You fish, too?
**[13:53] Taro**
Sometimes.
**[13:54] Taro**
I used to be a fisherman.
**[13:57] Conan**
Then I have a question.
**[13:59] Conan**
Does Ishiguro-san always
wear a black hat at sea?
**[14:04] Taro**
Yeah. He calls it his lucky charm.
**[14:06] Conan**
Really?
**[14:08] Taro**
Oh, right.
**[14:09] Taro**
Before you leave, why not watch them
fish for firefly squids at night?
**[14:15] Taro**
The ocean glows blue.
It's incredibly romantic.
**[14:20] Mori**
What a pain the butt.
**[14:22] Ran**
Why not? Let's go!
**[14:24] Ran**
Right, Conan-kun?
**[14:25] Conan**
Huh?
**[14:26] Conan**
Uh, yeah!
**[14:33] Conan**
Hey, mister!
**[14:35] Taro**
Huh?
**[14:36] Taro**
What is it?
**[14:37] Conan**
Kogoro-no-ojisan asked me to do something.
**[14:42] Taro**
I see.
**[14:44] Taro**
Got it. I'll keep an eye out.
**[14:46] Conan**
Thanks.
**[14:52] Mori**
It's 2 in the morning.
**[14:54] Mori**
Are we really going?
**[14:56] Ran**
They leave at 3.
**[14:58] Ran**
Come on, let's go.
**[15:00] Conan**
I'm counting on you.
**[15:02] Taro**
Sure thing. Be careful.
**[15:30] Sakai**
This ends now!
**[15:35] Sakai**
You!
**[15:36] Sawada**
Mori-san, is he really the killer?
**[15:39] Mori**
What?
**[15:40] Sakai**
You told us the murderer would be coming!
**[15:47] ---**
Hot pot, beer, and sake...
**[15:50] Sakai**
This is the Sleeping Kogoro?
**[15:53] Mori**
I set a trap for the murderer.
**[15:57] Mori**
Once I return to Tokyo,
I could restore the erased data.
**[16:03] Mori**
That's why I kept everyone
away from this room.
**[16:07] Mori**
And the murderer showed up.
**[16:10] Mori**
Isn't that right,
hotel manager Hayashi Taro-san?
**[16:15] Taro**
Wh-What are you talking about?
**[16:18] Taro**
I'm protecting the camera like you asked.
**[16:22] Mori**
The murderer must meet two conditions.
**[16:26] Mori**
First, he must be left-handed.
**[16:29] Mori**
Second, he must be able to operate a boat.
**[16:32] Taro**
What?
**[16:33] Mori**
Someone had struck the
victim on his right cheek.
**[16:38] Mori**
In other words, he caught a
left-handed punch to the face.
**[16:43] Sakai**
But what about operating a boat?
**[16:46] Mori**
The murderer erased the data
from Aoki-san's camera.
**[16:51] Mori**
In other words, there was evidence
leading to the murderer in the photo.
**[16:58] Mori**
Ran, the painting.
**[16:59] Ran**
O-Okay.
**[17:02] Mori**
We believed the painting
depicted a hallucination
**[17:06] Mori**
of an angel leading a soul into heaven.
**[17:09] Mori**
But Aoki-san only paints what he sees.
**[17:14] Mori**
Therefore, it must be real.
**[17:17] Sakai**
What? But it looks totally fake.
**[17:21] Mori**
It's a mirage.
**[17:22] Sakai**
A mirage?
**[17:24] Mori**
In spring, the air near the water's
surface cools and becomes dense.
**[17:30] Mori**
Light is refracted,
**[17:31] Mori**
causing a mirage reflecting the actual
scenery upside-down to appear.
**[17:38] Mori**
In other words, if you turn
the painting upside-down,
**[17:41] Mori**
you'll see what actually happened.
**[17:46] Sawada**
Th-This is...
**[17:48] Mori**
Yes. The white house painted
there is a fishing boat.
**[17:53] Mori**
The angel flying into the sky is a
woman being pushed into the ocean.
**[17:57] Mori**
And the soul below it is
the murderer's white hat.
**[18:02] Mori**
In other words, this painting
depicts a terrible murder.
**[18:11] Mori**
While reviewing his painting,
Aoki-san must have realized the truth.
**[18:20] Mori**
He told Akagi-kun to give up on his
girlfriend, gazed thoughtfully at the ocean,
**[18:27] Mori**
and had no appetite for
breakfast because of that.
**[18:33] Sakai**
Who is the woman who was murdered?
**[18:36] Mori**
The firefly squid suicide in the
painting happened ten days ago.
**[18:41] Mori**
Akagi-kun's girlfriend
disappeared on the same day.
**[18:45] Mori**
Based on her haircut and
clothes, it's probably her.
**[18:50] Mori**
Aoki-san was killed because he realized this.
**[18:55] Mori**
The murderer must be a left-handed
man who could operate a boat.
**[19:01] Mori**
Akagi-kun was handing out
fliers with his left hand.
**[19:04] Mori**
He's left-handed, but can't operate a boat.
**[19:08] Mori**
Shirakawa-san locked his
suitcase with his right hand.
**[19:12] Mori**
Ishiguro-san, who could operate a boat,
doesn't have full control of his left hand.
**[19:17] Mori**
And when he goes to sea,
he wears a black hat.
**[19:21] Mori**
In other words, the only
man who knew Aoki-san
**[19:26] Mori**
was staying in this room and
meets these conditions
**[19:29] Mori**
is the man who held his chopsticks
**[19:32] Mori**
in his left hand and showed
us the fish he caught himself.
**[19:36] Mori**
The hotel manager.
**[19:41] Taro**
B-But that's not enough to...
**[19:43] Mori**
Earlier you mentioned...
**[19:46] Taro**
* Did you find whoever erased the*
* video from Aoki-san's camera?*
**[19:53] Mori**
That camera can record videos.
**[19:57] Mori**
But how did you know it was a video
and not a photo that had been erased?
**[20:02] Mori**
Only the late Aoki-san and the man
who erased the data would know.
**[20:12] Sakai**
What about the suspicious figure he saw?
**[20:15] Mori**
An imaginary person to direct
suspicion away from himself.
**[20:23] Taro**
At first, it was an accident...
**[20:49] Taro**
I didn't think anyone was filming.
**[20:55] Taro**
He told me to turn myself in.
**[20:58] Taro**
To atone.
**[21:01] Taro**
That's why...
**[21:12] Taro**
I thought I erased all the evidence.
**[21:15] Taro**
Damn it!
**[21:17] ---**
Damn it!
**[22:43] Midori**
Thank you so much.
**[22:47] Conan**
Cheer up.
**[22:48] Conan**
Aoki-san helped us solve a case.
**[22:52] Conan**
Besides, I think he saved a life.
**[22:56] Midori**
What?
**[22:57] Ran**
What do you mean, Conan-kun?
**[22:59] Conan**
I mean Shirakawa-san.
**[23:01] Conan**
He came to see the mirage, but he
didn't have binoculars or a camera.
**[23:08] Conan**
He only had two bottles of
sleeping pills in his bag.
**[23:13] Conan**
He probably went to Uozu to kill himself.
**[23:18] Conan**
But he was buying gifts for
his family at the hotel.
**[23:22] Conan**
It's proof he changed his mind.
**[23:25] Conan**
Aoki-san probably prevented his suicide.
**[23:32] Ran**
I see. You're right.
**[23:40] Midori**
You're right.
**[23:42] Midori**
I'm sure that's it.
