[00:10] Genta
    The professor is surprisingly dependable.
[00:13] Mitsuhiko
    I agree.
[00:14] Mitsuhiko
    I had no idea he had such a rich friend.
[00:17] Mitsuhiko
    I was surprised.
[00:19] Conan
    Apparently the professor saved their
    company with one of his inventions.
[00:23] Conan
    That's why they did him this favor.
[00:26] Haibara
    He makes inventions for
    adults sometimes, does he?
[00:29] Ayumi
    That's not a nice way to put it.
[00:32] Ayumi
    Thanks to them, we get to practice soccer.
[00:35] Conan
    His joke quizzes can be a
    nuisance sometimes, though.
[00:38] Mitsuhiko
    You said the place is the site of
    a demolished mansion, right?
[00:42] Mitsuhiko
    Won't it be hard to practice
    if the ground is uneven?
[00:45] Mitsuhiko
    It was pouring rain last night, too.
[00:48] Ayumi
    I know.
[00:49] Ayumi
    Lightning struck a few times
    and the power went out.
[00:53] Ayumi
    It was scary.
[00:58] Conan
    Don't worry.
[00:59] Conan
    We'll be fine even after it rained.
[01:01] Conan
    Aside from the pool, the ground has been leveled.
[01:03] Conan
    The drainage is good, too.
[01:06] Conan
    Huh?
[01:09] Mitsuhiko
    Is it some kind of case?
[01:11] Genta
    Is the vacant lot past there?
[01:13] Conan
    No, we're headed right over there.
[01:22] Conan
    Solving crimes with sharp detective skills.
[01:24] Conan
    Love and cases never change.
[01:26] Conan
    A mysterious locked room with no ceiling.
[01:28] Conan
    The Detective Boys hold a mystery battle!
[01:30] Conan
    Always determining the one truth with the body of a child and the mind of an adult,
[01:33] Conan
    his name is Detective Conan!
SIGN    The Detective Boys' Locked Room Mystery Battle
[03:16] Conan
    "The Detective Boys' Locked
    Room Mystery Battle!"
[03:33] Ayumi
    Professor!
[03:35] Agasa
    What?
[03:35] Agasa
    Oh, it's you kids.
[03:38] Haibara
    Professor, what happened?
[03:40] Agasa
    A man was found dead in
    the pool of this empty lot.
[03:44] Genta
    It's a murder?!
[03:47] Agasa
    Earlier I came to unlock this
    place so you kids could get inside.
[03:53] Agasa
    There was a man floating in the pool.
[03:58] Mitsuhiko
    There was a body in that pool?
[04:00] Ayumi
    Scary.
[04:01] Genta
    Does that make you the
    first discoverer, Professor?
[04:04] Agasa
    Yeah, I suppose it does.
[04:09] Agasa
    We shouldn't get in their way.
[04:11] Agasa
    Let's talk over there.
[04:14] Haibara
    Was it a murder or an accident?
[04:17] Mitsuhiko
    Was there water in the pool?
[04:19] Agasa
    Yes, but it's shallow.
[04:21] Agasa
    It's from last night's rain.
[04:24] Genta
    How big is the pool?
[04:26] Agasa
    It's for a family, so I think
    it's about ten meters.
[04:30] Agasa
    It's two courses wide.
[04:33] Conan
    And this gate is the only
    way to get to the pool?
[04:36] Agasa
    Yeah.
[04:38] Agasa
    But when I got here,
    the gate was locked up tight.
[04:43] Haibara
    Who has the keys?
[04:45] Agasa
    According to my friend who lent
    us this place, this is the only key.
[04:51] Ayumi
    Then how did the dead person get in?
[04:55] Agasa
    Inspector Megure is troubled
    by that very question.
[05:00] Megure
    How did it go?
[05:01] Chiba
    The entrance has been closed for
    the entirety of the past three days.
[05:06] Megure
    But the victim died last night before midnight.
[05:12] Megure
    Did you determine how he died?
[05:14] Chiba
    We're waiting on the autopsy for the details,
[05:16] Chiba
    but we believe he was killed by
    a blow to the back of the head.
[05:20] Mitsuhiko
    If it was a murder, then we don't
    know how the culprit escaped.
[05:26] Agasa
    Precisely.
[05:27] Mitsuhiko
    That means this empty lot is a
    locked room without a roof!
[05:32] Mitsuhiko
    A locked room.
[05:34] Mitsuhiko
    Just saying the word excites me!
[05:38] Conan
    It's fine that you're excited,
    but if this is a crime scene,
[05:41] Conan
    we can't use it to practice soccer.
[05:45] Genta
    But he died in the pool, right?!
[05:48] Genta
    We're not going to use the pool!
[05:50] Conan
    You think the police will see it that way?
[05:53] Megure
    Conan-kun's right.
[05:55] Megure
    Both the victim and culprit had to pass
    through this lot to get to the crime scene.
[06:02] Megure
    Until the case is solved,
    it's closed to the public.
[06:05] Genta
    What?! Seriously?!
[06:07] Mitsuhiko
    But the game is next week!
[06:11] Ayumi
    Isn't there anything you
    can do, Inspector Megure?
[06:13] Megure
    I'm sorry, but no.
[06:15] Megure
    Though it'd be a different story if
    you Detective Boys solved the case.
[06:23] Genta
    The inspector is cold.
[06:25] Mitsuhiko
    And the professor went through
    the trouble of getting us this lot.
[06:28] Haibara
    We don't have a choice.
[06:30] Ayumi
    Then let's solve the case!
[06:33] Genta
    What?
[06:34] Ayumi
    Inspector Megure said the same thing!
[06:37] Conan
    Whoa, now. He was joking.
[06:39] Ayumi
    If we can figure out how the victim got
    here, the inspector will consider it!
[06:44] Mitsuhiko
    She's right. Let's do it.
[06:46] Genta
    Let's do it!
[06:47] Ayumi
    It's for soccer, Conan-kun!
[06:56] Genta
    All right! Detective Boys, let's move!
[07:00] Genta
    Wait, where are we going?
[07:04] Agasa
    Here's a plan of the place
    I got from my friend.
[07:07] Agasa
    Will this help?
[07:08] Mitsuhiko
    It sure will!
[07:12] Mitsuhiko
    This gate was locked, right?
[07:15] Ayumi
    It looks like there's a road on the other side of the fence behind the pool.
[07:20] Genta
    There's an eight story building right there.
[07:24] Mitsuhiko
    No, there's a narrow road
    running between them.
[07:28] Mitsuhiko
    It's not wide enough for a car, though.
[07:31] Ayumi
    What if you climbed the fence from
    that road and entered the lot?
[07:34] Haibara
    That's impossible.
[07:35] Haibara
    There's embedded glass and
    barbed wire on top of the fence.
[07:39] Mitsuhiko
    Hold on.
[07:40] Mitsuhiko
    I see a crane over there.
[07:44] Agasa
    It looks like the neighbors are getting
    ready for some construction, too.
[07:47] Mitsuhiko
    What if you used the crane, then?
[07:51] Mitsuhiko
    You could hold onto the end and go over the wall.
[07:54] Agasa
    That's not possible.
[07:55] Agasa
    The crane arrived this morning.
[08:03] Ayumi
    I know!
[08:04] Ayumi
    The pool must have a drain, right?
[08:07] Ayumi
    You could sneak in through there.
[08:11] Agasa
    It wasn't large enough for a human.
[08:14] Conan
    And it was covered, too.
[08:16] Agasa
    On top of that, it was covered in garbage.
[08:20] Agasa
    That's why the rain water built up inside.
[08:23] Genta
    Then he must have come from the sky.
[08:26] Genta
    If you flew here on a helicopter
    and climbed down...
[08:29] Conan
    Fly a helicopter at night?
[08:31] Conan
    They're really loud.
[08:33] Man
    Hey! What are you doing?!
[08:34] Woman
    It's so noisy!
[08:36] Man
    Stop making so much noise!
[08:40] Genta
    Hang gliders don't make any noise.
[08:43] Haibara
    You wouldn't be able to
    land in such a small space.
[08:47] Mitsuhiko
    What about RC helicopters?
[08:51] Mitsuhiko
    About ten should do it.
[08:54] Haibara
    Is it possible to fly that many RC copters?
[09:07] Ayumi
    Wouldn't a hot air balloon work?
[09:13] Conan
    Hot air balloons float using
    air heated by the burners.
[09:17] Haibara
    And it was pouring last night.
[09:22] Conan
    There was lightning, too.
[09:29] Ayumi
    Then use an airship!
[09:31] Genta
    I like airships, too!
[09:33] Mitsuhiko
    This isn't about what you like!
[09:36] Conan
    That's fine, but aren't you forgetting
    something important?
[09:41] Mitsuhiko
    What? What is it?
[09:42] Haibara
    Why did he go through so much
    trouble to sneak into the pool?
[09:47] Haibara
    Right?
[09:49] Conan
    Well, yeah.
[09:56] Haibara
    Maybe instead of entering the empty lot,
[09:59] Haibara
    the victim was trying to sneak
    into somewhere else.
[10:03] Haibara
    You know the answer, but
    you're only dropping hints.
[10:05] Genta
    What? Sneak into where?
[10:09] Mitsuhiko
    That's it! There was never a murderer!
[10:14] Agasa
    I see.
[10:16] Agasa
    He was killed by a blow to
    the back of the head, so...
[10:20] Ayumi
    I know! I figured it out!
[10:22] Genta
    Damn it!
[10:24] Genta
    I'm the only one who doesn't know!
[10:26] Haibara
    Here's a hint: the pool was empty at first.
[10:31] Genta
    What? That's obvious.
[10:33] Genta
    The rain last night collected in the pool, so...
[10:40] Genta
    That's it!
[10:41] Genta
    The victim wasn't hit.
[10:43] Genta
    He fell from the neighboring building and
    hit his head on the bottom of the pool.
[10:54] Mitsuhiko
    To put it grandly, the weapon was the Earth.
[11:00] Mitsuhiko
    I read a mystery like that once.
[11:03] Genta
    All right! We solved the problem.
[11:06] Genta
    Let's tell Inspector Megure to
    investigate the neighboring building.
[11:12] Megure
    Unfortunately, Detective Boys, we
    reached that conclusion as well.
[11:18] Genta
    Yikes...
[11:19] Ayumi
    You already investigated the building?
[11:22] Megure
    We did.
[11:23] Megure
    There's no mistaking we did, but...
[11:27] Chiba
    Through the seventh floor,
    all the windows are fixed shut.
[11:31] Genta
    There's a bay window on the eighth floor!
[11:34] Mitsuhiko
    He fell from that window!
[11:38] Megure
    But that window doesn't open, either.
[11:41] All
    What?
[11:57] Chiba
    It won't budge.
[12:00] Woman
    I heard some disquieting rumors,
    so I had my window altered.
[12:05] Woman
    Just yesterday, in fact.
[12:07] Chiba
    We found that out during our canvassing.
[12:10] Ayumi
    Then where did the dead person fall from?
[12:13] Haibara
    What about the roof?
[12:14] Megure
    That's not it, either.
[12:16] Megure
    There's a high fence surrounding the roof, and it's made so no one can enter.
[12:23] Mitsuhiko
    He couldn't have fallen into the pool from there, then.
[12:27] Ayumi
    Yeah.
[12:28] Genta
    I don't get it!
[12:30] Conan
    Hold on.
[12:31] Conan
    Were the disquieting rumors
    the old woman heard...?
[12:36] Agasa
    Oh, that?
[12:38] Agasa
    It was on the news.
[12:40] Agasa
    There's a robber breaking into buildings.
[12:42] Genta
    I heard about that.
[12:44] Genta
    They call him the Gecko, right?
[12:45] Conan
    Yeah.
[12:47] Conan
    If the man who fell was the Gecko,
    then he fell not from a window,
[12:51] Conan
    but from the building wall.
[12:54] Woman
    They call him the Gecko because
    he can climb any wall.
[12:58] Woman
    I was so scared.
[13:01] Megure
    Of course you were.
[13:03] Megure
    How diligent of you to fix your window shut.
[13:06] Megure
    We determined the identity of the man.
[13:09] Megure
    He was the Gecko.
[13:11] Ayumi
    Where did the Gecko
    practice climbing any wall?
[13:16] Haibara
    By rock climbing, probably.
[13:18] Genta
    What? What about bolts?
[13:20] Conan
    Rock climbing.
[13:22] Conan
    Haven't you seen it on TV?
[13:24] Conan
    It's a sport in which people climb
    walls using bumps on the wall.
[13:27] Mitsuhiko
    I know what that is.
[13:29] Mitsuhiko
    They just made a training gym in Beika-cho.
[13:32] Genta
    Oh, that?
[13:34] Genta
    That thing like rock climbing where
    they climb walls bare-handed?
[13:38] Megure
    According to our investigation, the Gecko
    made money working as a street artist.
[13:44] Genta
    More words I don't know!
[13:46] Chiba
    They're people who put on
    performances in the city.
[13:49] Megure
    The Gecko's trick was crossing from one
    building to another on a tightrope.
[13:54] Genta
    That's amazing!
[13:56] Megure
    But while crossing between two
    buildings on either side of a river,
[14:01] Megure
    he made a terrible mistake.
[14:31] Megure
    After that, he became possessed by fear and
    was unable to perform the same trick again.
[14:37] Chiba
    Unable to earn money,
[14:38] Chiba
    the Gecko returned home and started
    using his agility to break into buildings.
[14:42] Haibara
    But even if he could climb the walls, he
    couldn't break into the buildings, right?
[14:46] Megure
    That's it.
[14:47] Megure
    He must not have known the
    window had been remodeled.
[14:51] Megure
    He must have intended to
    enter through the bay window.
[14:54] Conan
    But if was a veteran thief,
    wouldn't he have done his research?
[14:59] Chiba
    I'm sure he did, but the window
    was remodeled yesterday.
[15:04] Agasa
    I see.
[15:05] Agasa
    The window hadn't been altered
    yet when he did his research.
[15:10] Agasa
    He struggled his way up the building,
    but when the window wouldn't open,
[15:14] Agasa
    he was surprised and slipped.
[15:16] Haibara
    Would a professional fall
    over something so small?
[15:19] Agasa
    Now that you mention it,
    it does seem unnatural.
[15:22] Conan
    But he actually did fall.
[15:25] Megure
    It doesn't make sense to us, either.
[15:29] Megure
    If we could explain that one
    thing, the case would be solved.
[15:33] Megure
    It's a shame.
[15:35] Chiba
    I doubt you'll get to practice
    tomorrow, either.
[15:43] Haibara
    What should we do?
[15:44] Haibara
    Are we giving up on playing soccer?
[15:46] All
    What?
[15:47] Genta
    Wh-Who said we're giving up?
[15:50] Mitsuhiko
    That's right.
[15:51] Mitsuhiko
    Let's rack our brains one more time.
[15:53] Ayumi
    That's right!
[15:54] Ayumi
    After all, we have a secret weapon!
[15:57] Ayumi
    Right?
[15:58] Conan
    What?
[16:00] Haibara
    She means you.
[16:02] Conan
    M-Me?
[16:07] Agasa
    Witnesses?
[16:08] Conan
    Yeah. Were there any witnesses?
[16:12] Agasa
    Unfortunately, the power was
    out in this area at that time.
[16:17] Mitsuhiko
    The substation malfunctioned
    because of the lightning.
[16:20] Ayumi
    That must be why.
[16:22] Ayumi
    The Gecko was struck by lightning and fell.
[16:29] Genta
    That doesn't make sense.
[16:31] Genta
    The lightning would have struck
    the top of the building.
[16:35] Mitsuhiko
    No, that.
[16:36] Ayumi
    What?
[16:37] Genta
    Huh? What?
[16:38] Mitsuhiko
    There's a lightning rod right there.
[16:41] Mitsuhiko
    There should be a ground wire running from the lightning rod to the ground.
[16:45] Mitsuhiko
    And the Gecko...
[16:55] Agasa
    But all three lightning strikes
    struck the substation.
[17:02] Mitsuhiko
    Really? That's too bad.
[17:04] Ayumi
    Too bad.
[17:06] Genta
    What?
[17:07] Genta
    Hey, how about this?
[17:09] Genta
    The Gecko reached the eighth floor.
[17:12] Mitsuhiko
    Yes, and then?
[17:15] Genta
    Then he looked into the
    room through the window.
[17:18] Ayumi
    A-And then?
[17:20] Genta
    The old woman was there.
[17:25] Genta
    And when she turned around...
[17:35] Mitsuhiko
    That's not possible.
[17:38] Agasa
    I've known her for a while,
    but she's a quiet, kind woman.
[17:44] Agasa
    Her legs are weak, so she uses a cane
    and wheelchair to get around.
[17:48] Agasa
    But she likes keeping tidy, so she's always
    doing the laundry when she's got time.
SIGN    Awaji Tomoe (72)
[17:52] Agasa
    That's what Awaji is like.
[17:55] Genta
    I see.
[17:56] Haibara
    And the power was out.
[17:59] Haibara
    He wouldn't have been able to see inside.
[18:02] Genta
    Oh, right.
[18:04] Conan
    Professor, you've been to the
    old woman's room, right?
[18:07] Agasa
    Sure. I'm the one who introduced
    Inspector Megure to her, too.
[18:12] Woman
    I'm sorry.
[18:14] Woman
    The sofa and curtains are soaking wet.
[18:17] Woman
    My hand shook when I grabbed
    the hose while doing the laundry.
[18:22] Woman
    No one wants to get older.
[18:25] Woman
    You came all the way here, but
    I have nowhere for you to sit.
[18:29] Megure
    We're not staying long, so don't worry.
[18:33] Megure
    So, Awaji-san, you didn't notice anything?
[18:38] Woman
    No. I'm sorry I couldn't help you.
[18:43] Conan
    Everything by the bay window was wet?
[18:48] Conan
    But if the power was out, he wouldn't
    have been able to see inside.
[18:53] Genta
    Sure he could.
[18:54] Conan
    What?
[18:55] Genta
    If lightning struck, he'd be able to see.
[18:58] Agasa
    The substation was struck three times.
[19:05] Conan
    That's it. I got it.
[19:11] Megure
    What? Did they figure something out?
[19:36] Agasa
    Excuse the intrusion, Awaji-san.
[19:38] Agasa
    Sorry about the sudden visit.
[19:41] Agasa
    As you know, this morning
    the body of a thief,
[19:46] Agasa
    known as the Gecko, was found in the
    pool of the demolished mansion next door.
[19:50] Agasa
    At first we thought it was a murder,
[19:54] Agasa
    but we determined he died when
    something caused him to fall
[19:58] Agasa
    while climbing this building to sneak in,
    and hit his head on the floor of the pool.
[20:04] Agasa
    So why did the Gecko fall?
[20:08] Agasa
    True to his name, the Gecko committed
    several thefts by climbing the wall
[20:14] Agasa
    and breaking in through windows.
[20:17] Agasa
    It's hard to imagine the Gecko
    falling over a mere slip.
[20:24] Agasa
    Last night's lightning must
    have been quite shocking.
[20:27] Woman
    Oh, yes.
[20:29] Agasa
    You may not have been struck,
    but the noise must have been loud.
[20:34] Woman
    Yes. I was just starting to do my laundry.
[20:39] Agasa
    Then the power went out, and you
    started to return to the living room.
[20:45] Agasa
    That's when the lightning struck.
[20:57] Agasa
    When you looked out the window,
    you saw a man stuck to your window.
[21:06] Agasa
    You reflexively sprayed
    the man with your hose.
[21:13] Agasa
    The window doesn't open, so there's no
    way the things outside would get wet.
[21:26] Woman
    I'm sorry.
[21:28] Woman
    I didn't mean to do it.
[21:32] Megure
    I know.
[21:33] Megure
    You're not responsible for
    anything that happened.
[21:37] Megure
    But until we knew what happened,
    we couldn't close the case.
[21:43] Megure
    That's all.
[21:45] Megure
    You don't need to worry.
[21:46] Woman
    Thank you.
[23:15] Conan
    Here we go!
[23:18] Genta
    There!
[23:20] Mitsuhiko
    Got it!
[23:21] Mitsuhiko
    Pass!
[23:23] Conan
    Okay, Ayumi-chan!
[23:25] Ayumi
    No way!
[23:26] Genta
    Hey!
[23:28] Haibara
    How long are they going to keep playing?
[23:31] Agasa
    Probably until they can't
    see the ball anymore.
[23:36] Haibara
    I see.

    Listen up.
[23:46] Man
    I'm trading this money for Reina's body.
[23:49] Conan
    How does the culprit mean to transport the ransom?
[23:53] Conan
    Isn't 100 million yen pretty heavy?
[23:56] Kogoro
    Heavy? It's only about ten kilograms.
[24:00] Kogoro
    If they've got a car, it's no problem at all.
[24:05] Megure
    They'll be there in ten minutes.
[24:07] Takagi
    Roger that.
