    It was designed as a

    This is the lab.
[02:54] Kogoro
    I see.

    Hey.

[03:34] Isshiki
    Maybe he made it to scare girls.

    What's your problem?

    Why would you use our cutting-edge
    technology to create mischievous products?
[03:48] Horiuchi
    And one of such poor taste, too.
[03:49] Isshiki
    I know.
[03:52] Horiuchi
    I'm sorry, sir.
[03:55] Horiuchi
    I need to speak to you urgently.
[03:57] Kusumi
    That's a problem.
[03:58] Kusumi
    I'm sorry, Mori-san.
[04:00] Kusumi
    I'll be back as soon as I can.
[04:02] Kusumi
    Give me a minute.
[04:03] Kogoro
    Hello?
[04:03] Isshiki
    Okay.
[04:05] Isshiki
    What? Tonight?
[04:07] Isshiki
    Tonight's not good for me.
[04:09] Isshiki
    Why don't we postpone it?
[04:13] Isshiki
    You can't?
[04:15] Tanizaki
    Today's the last day they'll
    be making fun of me.
[04:18] Tanizaki
    You just watch.

    I can't.

SIGN    President's Office
[04:50] Kusumi
    Sorry for making you come with me.
[04:52] Kusumi
    They'd be on their guard if it
    were just the famous Mori-san.
[04:56] Ran
    It's fine.
[04:58] Kusumi
    So, what do you think?
[05:00] Kusumi
    At this point, who did you find suspicious?
[05:04] Kogoro
    Tanizaki-san.
[05:09] Kusumi
    Tanizaki-kun, huh?
[05:11] Kogoro
    Before coming here, I conducted
    a stakeout at Myojo Technics,
[05:16] Kogoro
    where you suspect information
    is being leaked to.
[05:19] Kogoro
    I saw this.
[05:24] Kusumi
    Damn it.
[05:26] Kusumi
    I felt bad for him because he was laid off.
[05:28] Kusumi
    And this is what I get for hiring him?
[05:32] Kusumi
    I'm turning him in to the police.
[05:34] Kogoro
    He'll deny it if you do.
[05:38] Kusumi
    Then what should I do?
[05:40] Kogoro
    We'll have to catch him in the act.
[05:43] Kogoro
    It was the original components
    that were stolen, yes?
[05:46] Kusumi
    That's right. I have no idea how he
    got them out of the plant, though.
[05:50] Kusumi
    There's a metal detector at the entrance.
[05:53] Kusumi
    Since they're for precision instruments, they'd
    break if you threw them out a window.
[05:57] Kogoro
    Even from the first floor?
[05:59] Kusumi
    There are no first floor windows here.
[06:01] Kusumi
    Direct sunlight is bad for
    precision instruments.
[06:15] Conan
    Hey, why are you dressed like that?
[06:19] Kogoro
    They say if you want to hide a leaf,
    you should hide it in the forest.
[06:24] Kogoro
    I can see the entrance and stairs from here.
[06:28] Ran
    But why tonight?
[06:31] Kogoro
    There's an important presentation
    at the other company tomorrow.
[06:35] Kogoro
    The thefts always occur the night before.
[06:42] Kogoro
    What was that?
[06:45] Kogoro
    It was just something falling.
[06:48] Ran
    Well, we should get going.
[06:51] Kogoro
    Okay.
[06:52] Conan
    Huh?
[06:53] Ran
    What's wrong?
[06:54] Conan
    Doesn't it smell like gas?
[07:02] Kogoro
    It's a gas leak!
[07:08] Kogoro
    It won't open?
[07:10] Horiuchi
    It's locked from the inside.
[07:12] Kusumi
    Mori-san?
[07:13] Kogoro
    Do you have a spare key?
[07:15] Kusumi
    A spare key?
[07:16] Kusumi
    All the rooms here lock from the inside,
    so we'll have to call a locksmith.
[07:19] Kogoro
    They'll never make it in time.
[07:31] Isshiki
    What's wrong?!
[07:33] Horiuchi
    Help him break the door down.
[07:35] Isshiki
    O-Okay!
[08:03] Kusumi
    Isshiki-kun, shut off the gas.
[08:05] Kusumi
    Horiuchi-kun, call an ambulance.
[08:07] Both
    Got it.
[08:11] Isshiki
    The gas pipe is broken.
[08:12] Isshiki
    I'm going to shut off the main.
[08:16] Kusumi
    How is he?
[08:19] Kogoro
    Call the police.
[08:23] Kusumi
    Got it.
[08:56] Megure
    We've determined the victim
    Tanizaki-san suffocated to death.
[09:00] Kusumi
    Suffocated? It wasn't gas poisoning?
[09:03] Megure
    No. There were ligature marks on his neck.
[09:07] Megure
    He probably resisted.
[09:09] Megure
    We found ligature marks on the
    palms of his hands as well.
[09:12] Megure
    We also found a 30 meter long rope
[09:16] Megure
    in the shrubbery beneath the window.
[09:20] Megure
    We're still waiting to hear from forensics,
    but we believe it's the murder weapon.
[09:25] Megure
    He was also bleeding from
    the back of his head.
[09:29] Isshiki
    Does this mean he was murdered?
[09:32] Kogoro
    That's right.
[09:33] Kogoro
    I heard something fall before
    the gas alarm sounded.
[09:39] Kogoro
    You heard it as well, didn't you?
[09:41] Horiuchi
    Yes.
[09:42] Kusumi
    I heard it.
[09:43] Kogoro
    Judging by the footprints on the
    floor and the broken gas pipe,
[09:46] Kogoro
    their fight must have been rather violent.
[09:51] Megure
    By the way, we found this among the
    objects in Tanizaki-san's pockets.
[09:56] Megure
    Do you know what it is?
[09:59] Kusumi
    That's a new robot part
    our company is developing.
[10:04] Kogoro
    He must have been stealing—
    No, strictly speaking,
[10:07] Kogoro
    he was helping someone else steal it.
[10:11] Megure
    What do you mean?
[10:13] Kogoro
    He locked the door from the
    inside so no one could enter,
[10:17] Kogoro
    and invited a non-employee
    into the storeroom.
[10:22] Kogoro
    However, there was a problem,
    and Tanizaki-san was murdered.
[10:26] Kusumi
    He betrayed us. He got what he deserved.
[10:29] Megure
    Who is this non-employee?
[10:33] Kogoro
    A man named Makita.
[10:35] Kogoro
    He works for Myojo Technics.
[10:38] Megure
    Check it out.
[10:40] Takagi
    Yes, sir.
[10:43] Megure
    Could you tell us where you
    were when the murder occurred?
[10:48] Kusumi
    I was in my office on the third floor.
[10:51] Horiuchi
    I was in the lab on this floor.
[10:54] Isshiki
    I left work at my regular time,
[10:57] Isshiki
    but I realized I had forgotten
    something and returned to get it.
[11:00] Kogoro
    On your way back, did you spot
    any suspicious figures outside?
[11:06] Isshiki
    No, I don't think so.
[11:09] Isshiki
    Does that mean the killer
    broke in from the outside?
[11:12] Kogoro
    Well, the doors were locked.
[11:15] Kusumi
    But the windows were open.
[11:18] Kogoro
    We may be able to solve this
    case sooner than expected.
[11:25] Megure
    Impressive, Mori-kun.
[11:27] Conan
    I hope he's right.
[11:46] Conan
    That's the crime scene.
[11:51] Conan
    The president's office.
[12:00] Conan
    What's that?
[12:04] Conan
    This isn't an ordinary stain.
[12:09] Conan
    Is this...?
[12:11] Conan
    Come to think of it...
[12:18] Tanizaki
    This is my robot.
[12:22] Tanizaki
    Today's the last day they'll
    be making fun of me.
[12:25] Tanizaki
    You just watch.
[12:47] Conan
    I see.
[12:49] Conan
    So that's how it is.
SIGN    Spare Prototype Components
[13:03] Kogoro
    What? Makita is innocent?
[13:07] Megure
    According to Takagi-kun's report,
[13:10] Megure
    Makita-san belongs to the
    general affairs department
[13:13] Megure
    that has nothing to do with
    technological development.
[13:15] Kogoro
    Surely even the general affairs department
    would've wanted the information.
[13:18] Megure
    On top of that, he has an alibi.
[13:20] Kogoro
    What? I'll prove his alibi is—
[13:25] Kogoro
    Huh?
[13:26] Megure
    Hey!
[13:27] Megure
    Mori-kun!
[13:29] Kogoro
    Inspector, I've solved the mystery.
[13:32] Kogoro
    Call everyone here.
[13:34] Megure
    What? Got it.
[13:39] Kusumi
    Mori-san.
[13:41] Kusumi
    I heard you identified the culprit.
[13:44] Kogoro
    Yes.
[13:45] Isshiki
    By culprit you mean murderer, right?
[13:48] Isshiki
    Earlier you said Tanizaki-san was
    responsible for the leaked information.
[13:52] Kogoro
    That's actually not the case.
[13:55] All
    What?
[13:56] Kogoro
    Tanizaki-san was attempting
    to catch the leak.
[14:02] All
    What?
[14:04] Kogoro
    Tanizaki-san's mouse robot was
    actually a security device.
[14:11] Horiuchi
    No way.
[14:14] Horiuchi
    What?
[14:19] Kogoro
    It's a rather well made robot.
[14:22] Kogoro
    It can identify the culprit
    using its sensors.
[14:25] Horiuchi
    That's impossible!
[14:27] Horiuchi
    An AI can't identify a culprit!
[14:30] Isshiki
    She's right. Is this a joke?
[14:33] Kogoro
    But it can.
[14:49] Kogoro
    It's you, isn't it?
[14:53] Kogoro
    Isshiki Kazuomi-san.
[14:56] Isshiki
    This is ridiculous.
[14:57] Isshiki
    Mori-san, you made it do that.
[15:00] Kogoro
    No, I didn't.
[15:02] Kogoro
    The robot's sensors responded
[15:06] Kogoro
    to something stuck to your shoe.
[15:08] Isshiki
    Huh? What's on my shoe?
[15:12] Kogoro
    The ink on your toe.
[15:17] Takagi
    I'm back!
[15:22] Takagi
    What's going on?
[15:29] Kogoro
    Isshiki-san, didn't you notice?
[15:32] Kogoro
    The same thing happened to you
    when you snuck into the room.
[15:37] Isshiki
    I-I got this at home.
[15:40] Kogoro
    You keep the special ink these
    sensors respond to at home?
[15:45] Kogoro
    Tanizaki-san designed the robot,
[15:48] Kogoro
    so the culprit couldn't
    explain his way out of it.
[15:53] Isshiki
    Fine. I admit it.
[15:56] Isshiki
    I'm the one who stole the information.
[15:58] Megure
    Did you give the stolen information
[16:01] Megure
    to Makita-san of Myojo Technics?
[16:05] Isshiki
    No, it was some guy named Hiraguchi
    from their R&D department.
[16:09] Isshiki
    I did it for the money.
[16:11] Isshiki
    He did it for his career.
[16:13] Kusumi
    Then why did Tanizaki-kun meet with them?
[16:15] Takagi
    According to Makita-san, he asked about
    the date of their next presentation.
[16:20] Kogoro
    He needed to know so he could
    set a trap for the leak.
[16:26] Isshiki
    That's why I said we should
    postpone it, but...
[16:32] Isshiki
    Damn it!
[16:33] Isshiki
    But I didn't kill him!
[16:36] Isshiki
    I did hit him when we got into a
    fight, but I didn't strangle him.
[16:40] Isshiki
    It's true.
[16:42] Megure
    Then who did?
[16:43] Isshiki
    Probably one of those two.
[16:46] Both
    What?
[16:47] Isshiki
    I was outside.
[16:49] Isshiki
    I would've seen the culprit
    flee if they were an outsider.
[16:52] Isshiki
    But I didn't see anyone.
[16:53] Horiuchi
    Yeah, but that doesn't mean we—
[16:55] Isshiki
    She hated Tanizaki.
[16:59] Horiuchi
    I wouldn't kill him just
    because I didn't like him.
[17:02] Isshiki
    Then it was the president.
[17:04] Isshiki
    You thought Tanizaki was the leak
    and killed him for his betrayal.
[17:09] Kusumi
    I-I wouldn't do that.
[17:12] Isshiki
    In any case, Mori-san, tell us who did it.
[17:16] Kogoro
    Very well.
[17:18] Kogoro
    Allow me to explain the course of events.
[17:22] Kogoro
    Before leaving the office, Isshiki-san
    hid the components in this room.
[17:27] Kogoro
    He chose this room because it's
    not normally used by anyone.
[17:32] Kogoro
    After unlocking the windows so
    he could enter from the outside,
[17:36] Kogoro
    he got a rope to hang out of the room.
[17:40] Kusumi
    What did he attach the rope to?
[17:43] Kusumi
    There's nothing on the
    outside wall to tie it to.
[17:46] Kogoro
    He tied it to the gas pipe inside the room.
[17:50] All
    What?
[17:52] Kogoro
    After tying the rope around the gas pipe,
[17:55] Kogoro
    he passed the ends through the gaps
[17:57] Kogoro
    between the ventilation fan
    above the water heater.
[18:01] Kogoro
    That's why he needed 30 meters of rope.
[18:05] Kogoro
    By pulling on one end
[18:08] Kogoro
    of the rope from below,
[18:11] Kogoro
    he could retrieve the rope,
[18:14] Kogoro
    allowing him to commit countless thefts
    without leaving any evidence behind.
[18:18] Kogoro
    Once everything was ready,
[18:21] Kogoro
    Isshiki-san left the office.
[18:24] Kogoro
    He secretly returned and
    waited beneath the window.
[18:29] Kogoro
    He waited for the right
    moment to climb the wall
[18:33] Kogoro
    and entered the room through
    the window he left unlocked.
[18:41] Kogoro
    Isshiki-san didn't notice the robot
[18:44] Kogoro
    because he was surprised
[18:48] Kogoro
    by something else:
    Tanizaki-san was in the room.
[18:54] Kogoro
    Knowing the theft would happen tonight since
    the presentation was scheduled for tomorrow,
[18:58] Kogoro
    Tanizaki-san found the hidden
    components and hid in the room.
[19:03] Kogoro
    He locked the room so the
    thief couldn't escape.
[19:08] Kogoro
    Then Tanizaki-san and
    Isshiki-san got into a fight.
[19:11] Kogoro
    He began bleeding from his
    head when he was struck.
[19:16] Kogoro
    Disturbed by this,
[19:19] Kogoro
    Isshiki-san fled from the room.
[19:23] Kogoro
    That's when the gas pipe,
[19:25] Kogoro
    that had supported the rope
[19:28] Kogoro
    so many times before broke from the strain.
[19:33] Kogoro
    Isshiki-san nearly fell.
[19:39] Kogoro
    But miraculously, he was saved.
[19:44] Kogoro
    Upon reaching the ground,
[19:46] Kogoro
    Isshiki-san reeled in the rope
    and hid it in the shrubbery.
[19:55] Kogoro
    He returned to the office
[19:57] Kogoro
    because he was worried about Tanizaki-san.
[20:02] Isshiki
    That's exactly right.
[20:04] Isshiki
    I had no idea there was a
    murderer in the office, though.
[20:09] Isshiki
    What trick did you use?
[20:11] Isshiki
    What was the weapon?
[20:13] Isshiki
    Huh?
[20:14] Kogoro
    Isshiki-san.
[20:15] Isshiki
    What?
[20:17] Kogoro
    Did you not wonder why you stopped falling?
[20:22] Isshiki
    Why?
[20:23] Kogoro
    Your fall was stopped because
    Tanizaki-san grabbed the rope.
[20:38] Kogoro
    However, he was unable to hold your weight.
[20:42] Kogoro
    The rope became tangled
    around Tanizaki-san's neck.
[20:46] Kogoro
    And he was raised off the floor.
[20:51] Isshiki
    Y-You're lying!
[20:54] Kogoro
    Unfortunately, it's true.
[20:57] Kogoro
    The footprints on the floor.
[20:59] Kogoro
    The rust on the water heater
    and Tanizaki-san's back.
[21:04] Kogoro
    And more than anything, the
    blood on the fan proves it.
[21:10] Kogoro
    Isshiki-san, your series of
    thefts took Tanizaki-san's life.
[21:26] Isshiki
    Forgive me!
[21:27] Isshiki
    Forgive me.
[21:30] Isshiki
    Forgive me...
[23:12] Kogoro
    It's hard to believe that's a robot.
[23:17] Kogoro
    It even feels like the real thing.
[23:23] Kogoro
    What? Then what about the one on my head?
[23:29] Crow
    Idiot.
[23:32] Kogoro
    Who are you calling stupid?
[23:35] Kogoro
    I'm the famous detective Mori Kogoro!
