Detective Conan Episode 863 "The
Spirit Detective's Murder (Part One)"
**[00:07] Conan**
*Rum.*
**[00:10] Conan**
*I was right.*
**[00:12] Conan**
* The person who vanished after killing*
* Haneda Koji seventeen years ago...*
**[00:15] Conan**
*...was the bodyguard Asaka.*
**[00:20] Conan**
*And the identity of Asaka...*
**[00:22] Conan**
* ...is the number two man of the*
* Black Organization, Rum.*
**[00:28] Conan**
* Even if that's the dying message*
* he left before he was murdered,*
**[00:34] Conan**
*I can't find any other information.*
**[00:37] Conan**
* Is Asaka their family name*
* or given name, anyway?*
**[00:41] Conan**
* If it's their family name, then*
* I can't even tell their gender.*
**[00:46] Conan**
*And what drug was Haneda Koji given?*
**[00:50] Conan**
*Apparently it was made by Haibara's parents.*
**[00:53] Conan**
*But Haibara said she wasn't trying...*
**[00:56] Conan**
* ...to make a poison when*
* she recreated the drug.*
**[01:01] Conan**
* Besides, Gin mentioned something*
* when I was given that drug.*
**[01:07] Gin**
*We'll use this.*
**[01:09] Gin**
* This drug was recently developed*
* by the Organization.*
**[01:14] Gin**
* They won't be able to find any*
* traces of poison in the body.*
**[01:18] Gin**
*It allows you to commit the perfect crime.*
**[01:21] Gin**
* Although this prototype hasn't*
* been tested on humans yet.*
**[01:27] Conan**
* Which means I was given the*
* the drug recreated by Haibara,*
**[01:32] Conan**
*and I was its first test subject.*
**[01:36] Conan**
I'm home.
**[01:36] Kogoro**
What? An interview?
**[01:39] Kogoro**
With another detective?
**[01:42] Kogoro**
Spirit detective Hotta Gaito?
**[01:45] Kogoro**
Yeah, I remember a shady detective
who used to go by that name.
**[01:50] Conan**
* In any case, I need to*
* gather more information.*
**[01:54] Conan**
* But the case's site was taken down, and*
* it hasn't been reuploaded for a while.*
**[01:58] Kogoro**
What? He's going to solve the
mystery of Haneda Koji's murder?
**[02:03] Conan**
What?
**[02:04] Kogoro**
Wasn't the Haneda Koji murder...
**[02:06] Kogoro**
...an unsolved case of some guy...
**[02:11] Kogoro**
...who was murdered in America
seventeen years ago?
**[02:15] Kogoro**
What?
**[02:16] Kogoro**
He's going to summon the
spirit of Haneda Koji?!
**[02:19] Kogoro**
I don't have time for that kind of idiocy!
**[02:22] Kogoro**
What?
**[02:23] Kogoro**
This time it's just a short segment
on a late night TV show,
**[02:27] Kogoro**
but if it's well-received, it'll
be switched to prime time?
**[02:30] Kogoro**
And my name will be in the title?
**[02:32] Kogoro**
And the MC will be Okino Yoko-chan?
***SIGN*** Mori Kogoro's
***SIGN*** Solve the Cold Case!!
**[02:39] Kogoro**
There's a planning meeting tomorrow
morning at a hotel restaurant?
**[02:43] Kogoro**
Okay, okay!
**[02:45] Kogoro**
So, how much does it pay?
**[03:00] Conan**
Even heaven is watching the
labyrinths of the world!
**[03:02] Conan**
Full throttle reasoning skills
penetrate all mysteries!
**[03:04] Conan**
The information on Rum is eerily effective.
**[03:06] Conan**
What will the spirit detective reveal?
**[03:08] Conan**
Always determining the one truth...
**[03:10] Conan**
...with the body of a child
and the mind of an adult,
**[03:12] Conan**
his name is Detective Conan!
***SIGN*** The Spirit Detective's Murder (Part One)
**[04:44] Conan**
"The Spirit Detective's Murder, Part One!"
**[04:52] Kogoro**
Why'd you have to come with me?
**[04:56] Conan**
Ran-neechan's been gone since yesterday
night because of her karate training camp.
**[05:01] Conan**
And it's not fair that you're the
only one who gets to eat at a hotel.
**[05:04] Kogoro**
Apparently the TV station's paying for it,
**[05:08] Kogoro**
but don't order anything too expensive.
**[05:12] Conan**
Besides, I want to meet
the spirit detective, too.
***SIGN*** Hotta Gaito
Spirit Detective
**[05:16] Conan**
That detective Hotta
Gaito summons the spirits...
**[05:19] Conan**
...of dead people and says
things only people close...
**[05:21] Conan**
...to the deceased would've known, right?
**[05:25] Kogoro**
Yeah.
**[05:26] Conan**
Apparently he found the skeleton of a
person who went missing in the mountains.
**[05:31] Kogoro**
It was a coincidence.
**[05:34] Kogoro**
The bones ended up belonging to someone else.
**[05:37] Kogoro**
Besides, Hotta knew all that information
because he investigated cases beforehand.
**[05:42] Kogoro**
It got out that he paid people to create
false witness reports of the missing person.
**[05:47] Kogoro**
After the media destroyed
him, he disappeared.
**[05:51] Kogoro**
Anyway, I'm surprised he
was able to return to TV.
**[05:55] Kogoro**
And even if he does have a new scam,
**[05:59] Kogoro**
the Sleeping Kogoro will expose it.
**[06:05] Conan**
*That's right.*
**[06:06] Conan**
* If he's summoning the spirit*
* of a man who died so long ago,*
**[06:13] Conan**
* it's likely he got a hold of information related*
* to the case that hasn't been made public yet.*
**[06:19] Conan**
* I'll do whatever it takes*
* to get that information.*
**[06:24] Conan**
*And expose the identity of Rum.*
**[06:33] Kokuri**
Mori-san!
**[06:35] Kokuri**
Thank you for waiting.
**[06:38] Kokuri**
Sorry for asking you to come so early.
***SIGN*** Kokuri Sanpei (35)
Toto TV Director
**[06:40] Kogoro**
It's fine.
**[06:42] Kokuri**
Ah, you must be Conan-kun.
**[06:45] Conan**
Nice to meet you.
**[06:46] Kokuri**
I know about you.
**[06:48] Kokuri**
You're the Kid Killer, right?
**[06:49] Kokuri**
You think we could get a
comment from you, too?
**[06:54] Conan**
Sure.
**[06:55] Kogoro**
Let's eat while we discuss the show.
**[06:58] Kokuri**
First, we need to go the room
where Hotta-san is staying.
**[07:02] Kogoro**
What?
**[07:03] Kokuri**
Apparently he wants you to
see him summon a spirit.
**[07:06] Kogoro**
All right.
**[07:08] Kokuri**
Let's head there.
**[07:13] Kokuri**
Anyway, you were right to
bring Conan-kun with you.
**[07:18] Kogoro**
What?
**[07:19] Kokuri**
Even if him summoning a spirit
does seem a little fake,
**[07:22] Kokuri**
we'll still be able to get a
shot of him looking surprised.
**[07:25] Kogoro**
I see.
**[07:26] Kogoro**
* I can't imagine this kid*
* being surprised by that.*
**[07:34] Kokuri**
Huh? That's weird.
**[07:36] Kokuri**
He should be in his room.
**[07:39] Kokuri**
When I emailed him this morning to
confirm the time of our meeting,
**[07:43] Kokuri**
he said he was seeing someone
else before our meeting.
**[07:47] Kokuri**
Maybe he's still at their room.
**[07:51] Kokuri**
Huh? Hotta-san emailed me an hour ago.
**[07:55] Kokuri**
What?!
***SIGN*** They're going to kill me. Help.
**[07:56] Kokuri**
"Th-They're going to kill me. Help?"
**[07:58] Kogoro**
Seriously?
**[08:01] Kokuri**
I-In any case, I'll have a
bellhop come unlock the door.
**[08:05] Kokuri**
You stay here so nobody leaves the room.
**[08:09] Kogoro**
S-Sure.
**[08:12] Kogoro**
This better not be some kind of performance.
**[08:19] Kogoro**
What's taking him so long?
**[08:21] Kogoro**
What is that director doing?
**[08:24] Conan**
Oh, they're here.
**[08:26] Kokuri**
Sorry. It took a while
to explain the situation.
**[08:32] Bellhop**
Hotta-sama?
**[08:34] Bellhop**
Hotta-sama, are you there?
**[08:36] Kokuri**
You don't need to bother
with that. Open the door.
**[08:38] Bellhop**
A-All right.
**[08:40] Bellhop**
In that case...
**[08:42] Kokuri**
Hey, wait!
**[08:44] Kokuri**
My phone's ringing.
**[08:46] Kokuri**
Hello, Hotta-san?
**[08:48] Kokuri**
Is that you, Hotta-san?
**[08:50] Kokuri**
I'm sorry.
**[08:51] Kokuri**
It was a wrong number.
**[08:53] Bellhop**
I'm opening the door.
**[08:54] Kokuri**
Okay.
**[08:58] Bellhop**
Hotta-sama?
**[09:01] Kogoro**
What was that sound?
**[09:03] Kogoro**
It sounded like something breaking.
**[09:12] Kogoro**
Wineglasses and plates.
**[09:15] Kogoro**
Looks like someone was drinking
wine until a moment ago.
**[09:19] Kogoro**
That person dropped the plates and
glasses in surprise when we came in,
**[09:25] Kogoro**
stepped in the spilled wine,
and ran into that room.
**[09:44] Kogoro**
Someone just ran from the balcony!
**[09:46] Conan**
But we're on the fourth floor.
**[09:48] Kogoro**
No, I know I saw someone.
**[09:51] Kogoro**
They must've crossed the balcony
into the room next door.
**[09:56] Kogoro**
They left their wine-stained
slippers behind, too.
**[09:59] Kogoro**
That must be it.
**[10:03] Kogoro**
Hey, bellhop.
**[10:04] Bellhop**
Y-Yes, sir.
**[10:06] Kogoro**
Is there someone staying
in the room next door?
**[10:09] Bellhop**
You mean room 403?
**[10:12] Bellhop**
A young high school-aged man has
been staying there since last week.
**[10:16] Kogoro**
What?
**[10:17] Kogoro**
Some kid has been living by
themselves in a hotel for a week?
**[10:21] Conan**
More importantly, what's that sound?
**[10:25] Bellhop**
It's the sound of the remodeling
construction going on downstairs.
**[10:28] Bellhop**
Since it's loud and makes
the rooms shake a little,
**[10:30] Bellhop**
the rooms in this area are discounted.
**[10:33] Conan**
Huh.
**[10:35] Kogoro**
So, where's Hotta Gaito?
**[10:39] Conan**
Probably in bed.
**[10:41] Conan**
There's a slight bump.
**[10:46] Conan**
* But judging by the fact that*
* he hasn't moved an inch,*
**[10:50] Conan**
*he's probably already...*
**[11:12] Kogoro**
Damn it. Who would do something so awful?
**[11:16] Kokuri**
Hotta-san?
**[11:18] Kokuri**
Hotta-san!
**[11:19] Kogoro**
Stop!
**[11:20] Kogoro**
Don't touch the body.
**[11:21] Kokuri**
Right.
**[11:22] Bellhop**
I'll go back to the front
desk and call the police.
**[11:26] Kogoro**
No, you stay here with Kokuri-san...
**[11:30] Kogoro**
...and call the police from here.
**[11:32] Kogoro**
If the killer returns through that window,
**[11:34] Kogoro**
one man may not be enough to stop them.
**[11:38] Bellhop**
S-Stop them?
**[11:40] Kokuri**
M-Mori-san, where are you going?
**[11:42] Kogoro**
I'm going to the room next door.
**[11:44] Kogoro**
That kid living in the room next
door may have been killed already.
**[11:54] Kogoro**
Damn it. No one's answering.
**[11:57] Conan**
*The killer must've gotten to them.*
**[11:59] Sera**
Who is it?
**[12:02] Sera**
What's with all the noise?
**[12:04] Kogoro**
Y-You...
**[12:08] Sera**
Huh? You're the guy from
the detective agency.
**[12:12] Conan**
S-Sera...neechan?
**[12:15] Sera**
Hey, Conan-kun's with you.
**[12:18] Kogoro**
More importantly, did anyone enter your room?
**[12:22] Sera**
No.
**[12:24] Kogoro**
Are you sure?
**[12:26] Sera**
It's true.
**[12:27] Sera**
I'm the only one in here.
**[12:34] Sera**
I see, I see.
**[12:36] Sera**
Have I got this right?
**[12:37] Sera**
The room next door to this one is room 402.
**[12:40] Sera**
You went there with TV director Kokuri...
**[12:44] Sera**
...to meet with the spirit detective.
**[12:47] Sera**
The moment you opened the door,
**[12:49] Sera**
you heard the sound of wine glasses...
**[12:52] Sera**
...and plates falling and breaking.
**[12:58] Sera**
When you ran into the room, you saw footprints
left by someone who stepped in the wine.
**[13:02] Sera**
Those footprints led into the bedroom, so
when you opened the door and went inside,
**[13:05] Sera**
the window was open, and you saw
someone running from the balcony.
**[13:10] Sera**
That balcony is connected to the
balcony of my room, room 403.
**[13:16] Sera**
You thought that person might have leapt...
**[13:21] Sera**
...over the railing and fled into my room.
**[13:24] Sera**
While you were looking around,
**[13:25] Sera**
you noticed a slight lump
in the bed in the bedroom.
**[13:30] Sera**
And when you pulled off the covers...
**[13:34] Sera**
Is that right?
**[13:36] Conan**
Yeah.
**[13:37] Conan**
That's why we were wondering if
anyone suspicious came to your room.
**[13:42] Sera**
It's just me.
**[13:44] Kogoro**
But the wine-stained slippers were left at the
edge of the balcony of the room next door.
**[13:48] Kogoro**
Since we're on the fourth floor,
**[13:52] Kogoro**
your room was the only
place they could've gone.
**[13:56] Kogoro**
In any case, let me search your room.
**[13:59] Kogoro**
They could have sneaked in
and be hiding somewhere.
**[14:01] Sera**
I told you, there's no one here.
**[14:05] Sera**
Anyway, do you know who did it?
**[14:08] Kogoro**
Apparently he met someone
before he was meeting me.
**[14:12] Kogoro**
They probably did it.
**[14:14] Kogoro**
It's probably someone involved
in that seventeen year old case.
**[14:19] Kogoro**
Hotta Gaito said he was going to
summon the spirit of Haneda Koji,
**[14:22] Kogoro**
who was murdered in that case.
**[14:26] Sera**
*H-Haneda...*
**[14:28] Sister**
*...Koji.*
**[14:29] Sera**
And?
**[14:30] Sera**
Did that detective tell you
anything about the case?
**[14:33] Kogoro**
N-No. I hadn't met him yet.
**[14:35] Conan**
What? Do you know something about Haneda?
**[14:39] Sera**
Y-Yeah. He was a professional
shogi player, right?
**[14:43] Kogoro**
If you want to be involved in this
case, let me search your room.
**[14:47] Kogoro**
The police will be doing it
anyway when they get here.
**[14:50] Sera**
Fine.
**[14:53] Sera**
I left my underwear out, so give me a minute.
**[15:00] Kogoro**
Sheesh.
**[15:02] Kogoro**
How long does it take to
put away some underwear?
**[15:05] Bellhop**
Excuse me.
**[15:07] Bellhop**
I just heard from the front desk.
**[15:10] Bellhop**
We received a complaint about a car parked
in a strange spot in the parking lot.
**[15:14] Bellhop**
Is it either of yours?
**[15:16] Kokuri**
Oh, that's my car.
**[15:19] Kokuri**
Sorry. The parking lot was full.
**[15:23] Kokuri**
I forgot that I was going to re-park it later.
**[15:26] Kokuri**
I-I'll move it right away.
**[15:32] Sera**
Thanks for waiting.
**[15:33] Sera**
Hey, wa-
**[15:36] Conan**
*If you needed to hide yourself in a hurry...*
**[15:40] Conan**
*The perfect place would be the balcony.*
**[15:43] Conan**
*But there's no one here.*
**[15:47] Conan**
* Anyway, since the wine-stained slippers*
* were on the balcony next door,*
**[15:53] Conan**
*they must have jumped to this one.*
**[15:56] Conan**
*This is the fourth floor.*
**[15:58] Conan**
*They couldn't have jumped down.*
**[16:01] Conan**
* Huh? There's a car parked*
* directly below the balcony.*
**[16:05] Conan**
*What's it doing there?*
**[16:08] Conan**
*Kokuri-san?*
**[16:10] Conan**
*Oh, that must be the car he just mentioned.*
**[16:14] Conan**
*It's a convertible.*
**[16:16] Conan**
*He's got a nice car.*
**[16:20] Conan**
*That's odd, though.*
**[16:22] Conan**
*The parking lot's pretty empty.*
**[16:26] Conan**
*Why'd he park it there?*
**[16:34] Conan**
*I should take some pictures just in case.*
**[16:54] Conan**
*I should take one of under the balcony, too.*
**[16:59] Sera**
Conan-kun.
**[17:02] Sera**
Kogoro-san's calling you.
**[17:04] Sera**
He's finished searching the room.
**[17:06] Conan**
Oh, okay.
**[17:07] Conan**
Sorry to have bothered you.
**[17:12] Sera**
See? I was right.
**[17:15] Sera**
Doesn't he have good instincts?
**[17:19] Sister**
More importantly, solve this
case as soon as possible.
**[17:23] Sister**
If the police search this room,
they'll find out about me.
**[17:29] Sister**
You need to solve it before
they hear about the information...
**[17:34] Sister**
...concerning Haneda Koji's
murder and come here.
**[17:38] Sera**
Y-Yeah.
**[17:48] Sister**
*A bow tie?*
**[18:02] Megure**
I understand the events leading
up to the discovery of the body.
**[18:04] Megure**
But it's hard to believe someone
hurried out of the room,
**[18:09] Megure**
since you heard the sounds of wine glasses
and plates breaking when you opened the door.
**[18:14] Megure**
There was construction taking place
on the floor below at that time.
**[18:19] Megure**
The room was shaking slightly, wasn't it?
**[18:21] Bellhop**
Y-Yes.
**[18:22] Bellhop**
Construction starts every day at 9 AM.
**[18:27] Megure**
You entered this room right
around 9 AM, didn't you?
**[18:32] Kogoro**
Yes.
**[18:33] Megure**
Then couldn't the vibrations from the
work have caused the glasses and plates...
**[18:39] Megure**
...to fall if they were positioned
just on the edge of the table?
**[18:41] Conan**
Why don't we try it by putting our
phones on the edge of the table?
**[18:46] Takagi**
Y-You're right.
**[18:51] Takagi**
Is everyone ready?
**[18:53] Takagi**
Here we go.
**[18:57] Conan**
Huh?
**[18:58] Conan**
Half of them fell, but the other
half are still on the table.
**[19:03] Takagi**
That's it.
**[19:04] Takagi**
Even if the table shakes, there's no telling
which way they'll shift, so they don't all fall.
**[19:09] Megure**
I see.
**[19:11] Megure**
Even if the utensils were placed on the edge,
**[19:13] Megure**
the odds that they would fall
on the floor were 50-50.
**[19:16] Megure**
It's not very useful for a trick.
**[19:18] Kogoro**
You're right.
**[19:20] Megure**
And there's no guarantee construction
would start at exactly 9 AM.
**[19:24] Bellhop**
Actually, construction was
scheduled to start at 9 AM.
**[19:29] Bellhop**
It's falling behind schedule, so the hotel has
been pressuring the construction company to hurry.
**[19:34] Megure**
But there's still no guarantee
it would start at exactly 9 AM.
**[19:36] Bellhop**
Actually, we once received
a complaint from a guest...
**[19:39] Bellhop**
...that construction started a minute early,
**[19:44] Bellhop**
so the construction crew's clocks are set
to match the hotel's down to the second.
**[19:49] Megure**
I see.
**[19:50] Kogoro**
But it's still a coincidence that
we opened the door at exactly 9 AM.
**[19:55] Kogoro**
Besides, we opened the door
then because Kokuri-san...
**[19:58] Kogoro**
...was delayed while calling the bellhop.
**[20:02] Kogoro**
*What's taking him so long?*
**[20:05] Kogoro**
*What is that director doing?*
**[20:07] Conan**
*They're here.*
**[20:09] Kokuri**
* Sorry. It took a while*
* to explain the situation.*
**[20:13] Kogoro**
And Kokuri-san went to get the bellhop...
**[20:15] Kogoro**
...because he noticed the email from Hotta-san.
**[20:19] Kokuri**
*Huh? Hotta-san emailed me an hour ago.*
**[20:23] Kokuri**
*What?*
***SIGN*** They're going to kill me. Help.
**[20:24] Kokuri**
*"Th-They're going to kill me. Help?"*
**[20:27] Kogoro**
*Seriously?*
**[20:29] Kokuri**
* I-In any case, I'll have a*
* bellhop come unlock the door.*
**[20:33] Kokuri**
*You stay here so nobody leaves the room.*
**[20:37] Kogoro**
*S-Sure.*
**[20:39] Kogoro**
And the email Kokuri-san
noticed was sent an hour ago.
**[20:45] Kogoro**
If he'd noticed right away,
**[20:47] Kogoro**
we would've entered the room a lot sooner.
**[20:52] Megure**
There wouldn't have been time for a trick.
**[20:55] Kogoro**
Exactly.
**[20:55] Kogoro**
So the killer fled from the room when they
noticed us enter and dropped the utensils then.
**[21:01] Conan**
What's wrong, Detective Takagi?
**[21:04] Takagi**
Something got stuck to my hand
when I hit the table earlier.
**[21:08] Takagi**
Is this salt?
**[21:11] Conan**
*Salt?*
**[21:13] Conan**
*That's it.*
**[21:14] Conan**
* If they used salt, then that explains*
* what the inspector said earlier.*
**[21:17] Conan**
And all the coincidences
the old man listed...
**[21:21] Sera**
Really?
**[21:22] Sera**
You got salt on the base
of your pinkie finger...
**[21:27] Sera**
...when you hit the table directly above
where the glasses and plates had fallen.
**[21:30] Sera**
Really?
**[21:32] Conan**
Hey.
**[21:34] Conan**
It kind of sounds like you're explaining
the details of the situation to someone.
**[21:38] Sera**
I-I'm not doing that.
**[21:40] Sera**
* I'm the type of person who organizes their*
* thoughts by asking themselves questions.*
**[21:45] Sera**
You didn't know?
**[21:47] Conan**
Really?
**[21:49] Conan**
I had no idea.
