    [Eyecatch]
[00:01] Conan
    Dragged along by Ran, Sonoko, and
    Sera so they could buy new swimsuits
[00:05] Conan
    to go to the pool, I arrived
    at the department store.
[00:11] Conan
    But once there...
[00:25] Conan
    The victim was cosmetics company
    president Sashihara Ritsuko-san.
SIGN    Sashihara Ritsuko (41)
    Customer
[00:30] Conan
    The index finger and thumb on the
    body's left hand were extended,
[00:34] Conan
    and her own red lipstick
    was on her right thumbnail.
[00:41] Sera
    But why?
[00:44] Conan
    For what purpose?
[00:49] Conan
    Curtains rise as the headliner appears!
[00:51] Conan
    He beautifully dances his
    mystery-solving steps!
[00:54] Conan
    The shape of her fingers and red lipstick.
[00:56] Conan
    Sera's secret is hidden
    within the mysterious case.
[00:58] Conan
    Always determining the one truth
[01:00] Conan
    with the body of a child
    and the mind of an adult,
[01:02] Conan
    his name is Detective Conan!

    "The Blind Spot in the
    Changing Room, Part Two!"
[02:53] Nanbu
    What?
[02:54] Nanbu
    The order in which
    Sashihara-sama, Yamaki-sama,
SIGN    Nanbu Reia (24)
    Employee
[02:57] Nanbu
    and Nitsuka-sama entered the changing rooms?
[02:59] Megure
    Yes.
[03:00] Nanbu
    I think Yamaki-sama was first.
[03:06] Nanbu
    She said she'd forgotten where
    the changing rooms were,
[03:10] Nanbu
    so I showed her the way
    to the front of the rooms.
[03:13] Megure
    Did you see the white sandals then?
[03:15] Nanbu
    I believe they were already in
    front of the room on the right.
[03:20] Nanbu
    Sashihara-sama was next.
[03:24] Nanbu
    She entered the empty room in the middle.
[03:27] Megure
    I see.
[03:29] Megure
    So Nitsuka-san was last?
[03:31] Nanbu
    Yes.
[03:33] Nanbu
    She entered quite a while
    after Sashihara-sama,
[03:37] Nanbu
    and was irritated that none
    of the rooms were freeing up.
[03:40] Takagi
    According to Conan-kun, Sashihara-san
    said something rather harsh to you.
[03:46] Nanbu
    Y-Yes.
[03:48] Nanbu
    But a senior employee told me
[03:50] Nanbu
    she'd been told the same thing
    before and not to worry about it.
[03:56] Conan
    The dead woman said something
[03:59] Conan
    that made it sound like you
    met for the first time today.
[04:04] Sashihara
    I don't recognize you. Are you new?
[04:07] Conan
    But you actually met a week ago, right?
[04:10] Nanbu
    Yes.
[04:11] Nanbu
    She was here with Yamaki-sama when
    Nitsuka-sama collapsed in the changing room.
[04:17] Sera
    Are the black pumps you're
    wearing and those white sneakers
[04:21] Sera
    the only shoes you have?
[04:23] Nanbu
    Yes.
[04:24] Nanbu
    I keep the pumps in my locker,
[04:27] Nanbu
    and usually wear these sneakers to commute.
[04:30] Megure
    Those are really all you have?
[04:32] Nanbu
    If you think I'm lying,
    you can search the store.
[04:37] Takagi
    Nanbu-san, could you draw
    the white sandals you saw?
[04:43] Takagi
    It doesn't need to be detailed.
[04:46] Nanbu
    O-Okay.
[04:48] Yamaki
    Yes.
SIGN    Yamaki Ayami (35)
    Customer
[04:49] Yamaki
    Like the employee said, the white sandals
[04:53] Yamaki
    were already there when I
    entered the changing room.
[04:57] Megure
    President Sashihara entered the
    changing room next to yours later.
[05:02] Megure
    Did you hear any strange noises?
[05:05] Yamaki
    No, not in particular.
[05:06] Sera
    You're sure you didn't offer to
[05:10] Sera
    help her undress and enter her room?
[05:12] Yamaki
    Why would I do that?!
[05:14] Yamaki
    I'm not her servant!
[05:16] Conan
    But the president said
[05:19] Conan
    she took on your debt and hired you.
[05:23] Yamaki
    Yes. It's true that I wasn't her equal.
[05:28] Yamaki
    But you saw her clothes.
[05:31] Yamaki
    She didn't need help to remove them.
[05:34] Megure
    You're right.
[05:36] Takagi
    By the way,
[05:37] Takagi
    are those boxes you had inside
    your bag a gift for someone?
[05:41] Yamaki
    Yes, for the president
    of the department store.
[05:44] Yamaki
    It's one of our new products.
[05:47] Yamaki
    President Sashihara told me to have
    one of the employees give it to him.
[05:52] Yamaki
    Would you like to check the contents?
[05:55] Yamaki
    It's just perfume.
[05:57] Takagi
    Yes, later.
[06:00] Takagi
    Also, could you draw us a
    picture of the white sandals?
[06:04] Takagi
    It doesn't have to be precise.
[06:07] Yamaki
    O-Okay.
[06:09] Nitsuka
    Yes, that's right.
SIGN    Nitsuka Tomoyo (43)
    Customer
[06:10] Nitsuka
    I collapsed in the changing
    room here last week
[06:14] Nitsuka
    because of the dog hair that
    Sashihara woman left everywhere.
[06:18] Megure
    I see. You're allergic to dogs.
[06:21] Takagi
    According to forensics,
[06:23] Takagi
    they found substantial quantities
    of dog hair in the changing room.
[06:28] Megure
    I see.
[06:29] Megure
    So?
[06:30] Megure
    Do you know when the owner
    of the white sandals
[06:33] Megure
    left the changing room?
[06:36] Nitsuka
    Between 2:43 PM and 2:44 PM.
[06:39] Nitsuka
    I was checking every minute
[06:42] Nitsuka
    to see if the room on the right was open.
[06:46] Megure
    Why the room on the right?
[06:48] Nitsuka
    That dog-hair-covered
    woman was in the middle,
[06:52] Nitsuka
    and her employee was in the left room.
[06:53] Nitsuka
    Her employee could have dog hair on her, too.
[06:57] Megure
    So you knew the victim
    entered the middle room?
[07:01] Nitsuka
    W-Well, yes.
[07:03] Conan
    What's that light brown case thing?
[07:08] Nitsuka
    Oh, this?
[07:09] Nitsuka
    They're folding slippers.
[07:12] Nitsuka
    I'm taking a flight to China after this.
[07:18] Megure
    Maybe you made those slippers
    look like white sandals...
[07:22] Nitsuka
    What?
[07:23] Nitsuka
    Look at them! They're beige!
[07:26] Nitsuka
    What we saw were white sandals
    shaped totally differently!
[07:29] Nitsuka
    Hey, you!
[07:30] Nitsuka
    Give me that paper and pen!
[07:32] Nitsuka
    I'll draw what they looked like!
[07:37] Megure
    All three of them are
    almost exactly the same.
[07:40] Megure
    It seems there really was a
    customer wearing white sandals.
[07:44] Takagi
    Inspector Megure.
[07:46] Takagi
    Forensics found scissors, bits of tape,
[07:50] Takagi
    and pieces of a straw in a garbage can
[07:52] Takagi
    near the changing rooms.
[07:56] Takagi
    Do you think they're connected to the case?
[07:59] Sonoko
    They still don't know who did it?
[08:03] Conan
    No...
[08:04] Conan
    The killer is probably...
[08:06] Sera
    That woman.
[08:08] Ran
    No way. You already figured it out?
[08:11] Sera
    Yeah.
[08:12] Sera
    But I still don't know how they
    entered the victim's changing room
[08:16] Sera
    without her causing a commotion.
[08:18] Sonoko
    The victim was probably wearing a face cover.
[08:22] Sonoko
    You know,
[08:23] Sonoko
    those disposable ones so your makeup
    doesn't get on the merchandise.
[08:27] Sonoko
    You can't see very well
    when you're wearing one.
[08:30] Ran
    But they don't make you blind.
[08:33] Ran
    You'd be able to tell if someone entered.
[08:35] Conan
    Do they have those in the changing rooms?
[08:40] Sonoko
    Some stores hand them out before you enter.
[08:44] Ran
    A lot of stores keep them
    in the rooms themselves.
[08:48] Ran
    It looks like a big tissue box.
[08:51] Conan
    I see.
[08:53] Sera
    So that's how it is.
[08:58] Sera
    This wasn't the first time.
[09:00] Conan
    It was the second murder.
[09:09] Takagi
    Inspector Megure.
[09:11] Takagi
    We checked the store's security cameras.
[09:14] Takagi
    Many of the customers' feet weren't visible,
[09:17] Takagi
    and we weren't able to find anyone
[09:18] Takagi
    wearing the white sandals
    the three women saw
[09:22] Takagi
    in front of the right changing
    room at the time of the murder.
[09:26] Megure
    Which means the customer wearing the sandals
[09:30] Megure
    was the killer and has already left.
[09:32] Megure
    Or the store employee, Nanbu Reia-san,
[09:35] Megure
    who discovered the body.
[09:37] Megure
    Or the victim's employee, Yamaki Ayami-san,
[09:42] Megure
    who was using the left
    room before the victim
[09:47] Megure
    entered the middle room.
[09:49] Megure
    Or the woman allergic to
    dogs, Nitsuka Tomoyo-san,
[09:53] Megure
    who entered the room on the right after
[09:57] Megure
    the customer wearing white sandals left.
[10:00] Takagi
    The question is how did the killer
    get inside the changing room.
[10:05] Megure
    Yeah.
[10:06] Megure
    The victim would've said something if
    someone entered while she was changing.
[10:10] Takagi
    And even if they snuck in...
[10:14] Megure
    The killer's reflection should've
    appeared in this mirror.
[10:18] Conan
    Yeah, but...
[10:20] Conan
    If the victim was already unconscious
[10:22] Conan
    when the killer entered the room,
[10:26] Conan
    she wouldn't have been able to say anything,
[10:28] Conan
    and it would've been easy to strangle her.
[10:30] Takagi
    Th-The victim was unconscious?
[10:32] Takagi
    But how?
[10:34] Sera
    Using one of the face covers on the
    right side of the changing room.
[10:38] Sera
    Men probably don't recognize them,
[10:41] Sera
    but female customers wear them when trying
    on clothes so their makeup doesn't get on them.
[10:46] Takagi
    Huh.
[10:47] Sera
    By soaking the face covers in chloroform,
[10:51] Sera
    the victim knocked herself out
    for the killer by putting on one.
[10:56] Takagi
    I see.
[10:59] Sera
    Actually, I didn't know
    about face covers either.
[11:02] Sera
    I thought it was a giant tissue box.
[11:06] Megure
    So the killer had a bottle of chloroform.
[11:10] Conan
    It doesn't have to be a bottle.
[11:12] Conan
    A straw's more than enough.
[11:13] Megure
    A straw?
[11:15] Conan
    You melt one end of a
    straw using a hair iron,
[11:20] Conan
    pour the chloroform into the open end,
[11:23] Conan
    and melt the open end.
[11:28] Conan
    To use it, you just have to cut
    one end open with scissors.
[11:32] Conan
    I read online that it's a convenient way
[11:34] Conan
    to store cosmetics to reduce
    your luggage while traveling.
[11:37] Takagi
    So that's what the straw and scissors
    we found near the crime scene were for.
[11:42] Takagi
    I'll go check with forensics.
[11:46] Megure
    But even if the face covers
    were soaked in chloroform,
[11:51] Megure
    the killer had to know which changing
    room the victim would enter.
[11:56] Sera
    She'd enter the middle room
    if it were the only one free.
[12:00] Megure
    But another customer could enter the room.
[12:03] Sera
    Yeah. The killer made her
    first attempt last week.
[12:08] Sera
    And like you said,
[12:11] Sera
    Nitsuka-san entered the
    room before the victim.
[12:15] Sera
    In other words, this was her
    second attempt at murder.
[12:18] Megure
    So Nitsuka-san collapsed a week ago
[12:23] Megure
    not because of her dog allergy,
[12:24] Megure
    but because she smelled the chloroform.
[12:27] Megure
    But how did she leave the middle room open?
[12:31] Megure
    The killer could enter one room,
[12:32] Megure
    but how did she block the other?
[12:37] Sera
    By putting the white sandals
    in front of the other room.
[12:42] Sera
    This could only have been
    done by the woman
[12:47] Sera
    who entered the left room before
    the victim entered the middle room.
[12:51] Sera
    Yamaki Ayami-san!
[12:53] Sera
    It was you!
[12:58] Yamaki
    W-Wait a minute!
[13:00] Yamaki
    I don't have any white sandals!
[13:03] Yamaki
    Besides, the sandals were there
    before I entered the changing room!
[13:08] Yamaki
    Right, miss?
[13:09] Nanbu
    Huh? Y-Yes.
[13:11] Ran
    Conan-kun!
[13:13] Ran
    We bought insoles, tape, and a white ribbon.
[13:18] Conan
    Thanks.
[13:19] Sonoko
    What's this stuff for?
[13:22] Conan
    We're going to make another customer.
[13:27] Sonoko
    Another...
[13:28] Ran
    Customer?
[13:33] Conan
    First place the white ribbon against
[13:38] Conan
    the heel of the insole.
[13:40] Conan
    Cross the ribbon on the underside
    of the insole and tape it.
[13:45] Conan
    Then cross the ribbons over the top.
[13:50] Conan
    Tape the ends to the
    underside again and there.
[13:53] Conan
    You have some white sandals.
[13:57] Ran
    Wow.
[13:58] Sonoko
    Not bad, kid.
[14:00] Conan
    I'm good at arts and crafts.
[14:03] Conan
    Make a second one, and...
[14:07] Conan
    Put them in front of the changing room,
[14:10] Conan
    and it looks like someone's inside.
[14:13] Sonoko
    Wouldn't it be obvious since
    they're so flat and heel-less?
[14:17] Conan
    But if you raise the heel by
    placing a cell phone under them...
[14:23] Conan
    See? They look like sandals from above.
[14:26] Ran
    Amazing!
[14:28] Sera
    You had one, didn't you?
[14:30] Sera
    A present wrapped in white ribbon.
[14:35] Sera
    If you made the sandals beforehand
    and kept them in your bag,
[14:39] Sera
    all that would be left after the murder
    would be the tape you used to make the sandals.
[14:45] Sera
    You could tie the ribbon around the present,
[14:47] Sera
    and you could hide the insoles
    inside your own shoes.
[14:51] Megure
    I see.
[14:53] Megure
    The bits of tape we found
    with the straw and scissors
[14:56] Megure
    were from when she removed
    the ribbon from the insoles.
[15:00] Sera
    Her fingerprints may be on the tape since
    it's difficult to remove without bare hands.
[15:05] Sera
    Here's what you did:
[15:09] Sera
    After making sure the three
    changing rooms were empty,
[15:13] Sera
    you placed the white sandals in
    front of the room on the right,
[15:17] Sera
    told an employee you forgot
    where the changing rooms were,
[15:22] Sera
    had her show you, and made sure she saw
    the white sandals in front of the right room.
[15:26] Sera
    When the employee returned to the store,
[15:29] Sera
    you entered the middle room,
[15:31] Sera
    soaked a face cover in the
    chloroform you had in the straw,
[15:36] Sera
    put it back in the box,
    and entered the left room.
[15:41] Sera
    You watched through the curtain
    for the victim to enter
[15:45] Sera
    and listened for the victim
    to inhale the chloroform
[15:48] Sera
    in the face cover and collapse.
[15:52] Sera
    After making sure no one was around,
[15:55] Sera
    you entered the middle room,
[15:58] Sera
    wrapped the rope you brought
    around the victim's neck,
[16:02] Sera
    and strangled her.
[16:04] Sera
    Then you waited for Nitsuka-san, who was
    frequently checking the changing rooms,
[16:08] Sera
    to return to the store,
[16:11] Sera
    reached through the curtain to collect
[16:14] Sera
    the white sandals and cell phone,
[16:17] Sera
    listened for Nitsuka-san
    to enter the right room,
[16:21] Sera
    returned to the left room,
[16:24] Sera
    removed the ribbon from the white
    sandals, tied it around the present,
[16:29] Sera
    and put the insoles inside your own shoes.
[16:33] Sera
    You intended to leave the
    changing room immediately,
[16:37] Sera
    but an employee found the
    victim's body first, right?
[16:43] Megure
    Then what were those shapes the
    victim made with her hands?
[16:48] Sera
    The right hand grasping her
    thumb with lipstick on it was...
[16:53] Conan
    The national flag.
[16:54] Megure
    The national flag?
[16:55] Conan
    Yeah, the flag of China.
[16:58] Conan
    The victim was wearing nails
    with five stars on them,
[17:03] Conan
    so by making the area around the stars red,
[17:06] Conan
    she was trying to make it
    look like the Chinese flag.
[17:09] Megure
    B-But why China?
[17:12] Conan
    Chinese people count on their
    fingers in an unusual way.
[17:16] Conan
    They count from one to ten on a single hand.
[17:19] Megure
    One hand?
[17:21] Conan
    One through five are the same as Japan,
[17:24] Conan
    but this is six, and this is seven.
[17:27] Conan
    And this is eight.
[17:30] Megure
    W-Wait. Isn't that...
[17:33] Conan
    Oh, right. This is...
[17:37] Conan
    Eight, for the "Ya" in Yamaki-san.
[17:42] Megure
    I see.
[17:43] Megure
    Since the victim was well-traveled,
[17:46] Megure
    she knew how they count in China.
[17:50] Sera
    Since the changing room floor
    is covered in dog hair,
[17:55] Sera
    you'll probably find a couple strands
[17:57] Sera
    on the bottoms of Yamaki-san's feet.
[18:06] Yamaki
    You don't need to look for dog hair.
[18:11] Yamaki
    After all, I was the president's pet.
[18:16] Megure
    Her pet?
[18:17] Yamaki
    I came here to buy clothes a few
    months ago with the president.
[18:22] Yamaki
    We happened to try on the same clothes.
[18:26] Sashihara
    Oh?
[18:27] Sashihara
    Are you going to wear that
    to the upcoming party?
[18:31] Yamaki
    Y-Yes.
[18:32] Yamaki
    But if you planned to wear it,
    I'll choose something else.
[18:36] Sashihara
    Oh, don't worry about it.
[18:38] Sashihara
    I won't be wearing this.
[18:40] Sashihara
    You wear it.
[18:42] Yamaki
    Thank you.
[18:44] Megure
    Sounds like a nice president.
[18:46] Yamaki
    Indeed.
[18:48] Yamaki
    The president didn't wear
    those clothes herself.
[18:52] Yamaki
    She had them remade as dog clothes.
[18:58] Sashihara
    Oh my, Yamaki-san.
[19:00] Sashihara
    You and my dog are matching.
[19:02] Sashihara
    That choker looks like a collar, too.
[19:05] Sashihara
    Shall I attach a lead to it?
[19:12] Sashihara
    You're my pet for life.
[19:21] Yamaki
    I couldn't get a new job
[19:24] Yamaki
    because of the debt I owed the president.
[19:27] Yamaki
    So I killed her before she could kill me.
[19:32] Yamaki
    So I wouldn't be hers forever.
[21:04] Sera
    Case closed.
[21:06] Sera
    With me and Conan-kun on the case,
    a case like that is a cinch.
[21:10] Sera
    Right, Conan-kun?
[21:11] Conan
    A-All I did was make sandals using a ribbon.
[21:15] Sonoko
    Impressive as always, high school detective.
[21:18] Ran
    Sonoko, you're a high school detective, too.
[21:20] Ran
    You called yourself the Mystery Queen.
[21:22] Sonoko
    I haven't had any epiphanies lately.
[21:27] Sonoko
    I used to feel them right
    around the back of my neck.
[21:31] Conan
    I guess I haven't tranquilized
    Sonoko in a while.
[21:35] Sera
    Anyway, I had no idea
[21:36] Sera
    they count like this in Germany and France.
[21:40] Ran
    Shinichi used to do that all the time.
[21:44] Ran
    He said he got it from his mom.
[21:47] Conan
    Yeah, Mom tried to act cool
    by mimicking French people.
[21:52] Sonoko
    Hey, kid.
[21:54] Sonoko
    Is this how they count to three in Europe?
[21:57] Conan
    No. I saw on TV that even in
    Europe, there are exceptions.
[22:01] Conan
    England is the same as Japan.
[22:04] Conan
    They count to three using
    their pointer finger,
[22:08] Conan
    middle finger, and ring finger.
[22:12] Sonoko
    Huh.
[22:13] Sera
    I knew it. Of course.
[22:19] Conan
    During the Red Woman case, Sera...
[22:23] Sera
    That's a pretty thin bat, though...
[22:26] Sera
    Can you hit a ball with that?
[22:28] Conan
    Said something like that.
[22:30] Conan
    Maybe she was thinking of cricket
    since that's popular in England.
[22:36] Conan
    Cricket bats are flatter and
    thicker than baseball bats.
[22:40] Conan
    And according to American manners,
    after cutting your food with a knife,
[22:45] Conan
    you switch your fork to your right hand.
[22:47] Conan
    You eat with your fork in your
    left hand in Japan and England.
[22:52] Conan
    Wait a minute.
[22:53] Conan
    Didn't Sera say this, too?
[22:56] Sera
    That's how I know Conan-kun's
    pretty good at football.
[23:02] Conan
    Americans don't call soccer "football."
[23:06] Conan
    Which means Sera studied in England,
[23:10] Conan
    not America.
[23:13] Conan
    But why is she lying about going to England?
[23:19] Conan
    Wait a minute.
[23:21] Conan
    England...
[23:26] Conan
    England...
[23:31] Conan
    England...
[23:36] Conan
    That's it!
[23:40] Conan
    I remember now!
