[00:01] ---
A racing second hand,
shining shooting stars!
[00:03] ---
Conan's logic is good medicine
for hearts tired by modern society!
[00:07] ---
Today is the Dracula solution!
The trick is exposed before sunrise!
[00:10] ---
He sees the single
truth for what it is,
[00:12] ---
and looks like a kid but
has the mind of an adult!
[00:14] ---
His name? Detective Conan!
[01:51] ---
The old man was hired by Mr. Dorakura,
owner of Dracula Manor,
[01:55] ---
to investigate his wife's infidelity.
[01:58] ---
That night, someone killed
Mr. Dorakura with a stake to the heart,
[02:01] ---
in his completely-locked study room!
[02:06] ---
To get to the study, one would
have to pass through the living room,
[02:10] ---
where everyone was at the time!
[02:13] ---
Breaking in from
outside was also impossible!
[02:16] ---
Did the killer fly through
the air, like a vampire?!
[02:22] ---
"The Dracula Manor Murder Case Part 2."
[02:27] ---
My, what a farce that was.
[02:35] ---
That's the roof above
the collection room...
[02:38] ---
What are those imprints in the snow?
[02:49] ---
Wait a minute!
[02:50] ---
The collection room didn't smell
like oil paint after the incident!
[02:54] ---
Does that mean...
[03:00] ---
Huh?! It doesn't smell!
[03:02] ---
Hey, you!
[03:04] ---
What're you doing?
[03:07] ---
Nothing!
[03:10] ---
Was that stake not
the source of the smell?
[03:17] ---
Let's first organize what
we know about the incident.
[03:20] ---
First, at around 8:30,
Mr. Dorakura went to the study
[03:24] ---
and Tadokoro-san, Ran, and Conan
went to the collection room
[03:27] ---
to get a film.
[03:29] ---
At that time, the stake used as
the murder weapon was still there.
[03:33] ---
In other words, the killer
stole the stake after that.
[03:39] ---
Moreover, Ran confirmed that all
the windows in the collection room
[03:42] ---
had been locked from the inside.
[03:46] ---
In short, the only way into the
room was from the living room.
[03:51] ---
Next, Tadokoro-san went to the
study to deliver the wine and movie.
[03:56] ---
Yes. At around 8:50, I left the
wine and film and left the study.
[04:02] ---
Huh?
[04:03] ---
The wine bottle's
seal hasn't been broken.
[04:06] ---
Did anything seem
odd about Mr. Dorakura then?
[04:09] ---
No, not really.
[04:11] ---
You returned to the living
room shortly after 9:00,
[04:14] ---
then left to make sure
that everything was locked up.
[04:19] ---
Yes. I believe I returned
ten minutes afterward.
[04:22] ---
The snow had already stopped by then.
[04:26] ---
Shortly after, his wife
retired to her room upstairs.
[04:30] ---
Around 9:15, I'd say?
[04:33] ---
And then she came down when
the body was found around midnight.
[04:37] ---
In short, she has no
alibi for that period of time.
[04:42] ---
Hamura-san.
[04:43] ---
You left the living room the same
time she did, to go to the library.
[04:48] ---
Yes. I returned to the
living room at about 10:30.
[04:52] ---
Which means I have no
alibi for that period of time.
[04:54] ---
You had the opportunity to steal
the stake from the collection room.
[05:02] ---
Doi-san. Right after Hamura-*san
*returned to the living room,
[05:06] ---
you went to the restroom.
[05:08] ---
You were gone about twenty
minutes, wouldn't you say?
[05:12] ---
Y-Yes.
[05:13] ---
Twenty minutes is enough
time to commit the murder.
[05:16] ---
But I never went
to the collection room.
[05:20] ---
Yeah! Doi-san only
went to the bathroom!
[05:23] ---
He even bumped into
Hamura-san on his way!
[05:27] ---
That's right! I didn't think of that!
[05:29] ---
Hamura-san. Perhaps you secretly
had the stake when that happened?
[05:34] ---
And then Doi-san pretended
to bump into you and took it.
[05:39] ---
Quit joking around! Why would
I need to kill Dorakura-sensei?!
[05:46] ---
What's this?
[05:48] ---
T-That's...
[05:49] ---
'Call of Darkness', by Nakajima Yoshihiko
[05:50] ---
These aren't Mr. Dorakura's manuscripts...
[05:56] ---
Could they be novels submitted
to Doi-san's magazine by readers?
[06:00] ---
See, it says "Horror Times"
on the envelope.
[06:05] ---
Come to think of it,
I have heard an odd rumor,
[06:08] ---
from my university's
Horror Novel Association,
[06:12] ---
that novels submitted
to the Horror Times
[06:15] ---
wound up being
plagiarized by Dorakura.
[06:18] ---
Plagiarized?
[06:20] ---
Don't tell me you were involved
with this too, Editor-in-Chief?
[06:24] ---
W-What makes you think--
[06:27] ---
In that case, we can compare
Dorakura's manuscripts on this PC
[06:30] ---
with these submitted novels.
[06:34] ---
T-That's...
[06:36] ---
Doi-san.
[06:37] ---
It'd be in your best interest
to come clean while you still can.
[06:42] ---
Dorakura... His talent had
been dried up for years now.
[06:51] ---
About seven years ago,
[06:53] ---
I failed in the stock market and
found myself in incredible debt.
[06:57] ---
Dorakura offered to take over
my debt if I would leak novels to him.
[07:04] ---
So, you murdered him to
dissolve your relationship, then?
[07:09] ---
N-No!
[07:10] ---
But you have a motive!
[07:13] ---
If it's motives you want,
Tadokoro-kun has one, too!
[07:19] ---
He was Dorakura's ghostwriter!
[07:22] ---
Ghostwriter?!
[07:24] ---
It was five years ago.
[07:26] ---
No longer able to endure leaking
him novels submitted to me,
[07:31] ---
I introduced him to Tadokoro-kun,
[07:33] ---
who I learned of through
literary magazines.
[07:36] ---
Come to think of it,
[07:37] ---
didn't Mr. Dorakura start publishing
fantasy works five years ago?
[07:42] ---
Tadokoro-kun wrote them.
[07:46] ---
Is this true, Tadokoro-san?!
[07:50] ---
It's true.
[07:52] ---
But I don't bear a
grudge against him for it.
[07:55] ---
Even if I did, there's
a reason I couldn't kill him!
[08:00] ---
A reason you couldn't kill him?
[08:03] ---
I have a sister named Kaori,
who's ten years younger than me.
[08:07] ---
She was born with
a slightly-faulty heart,
[08:10] ---
and as our parents
died when she was young,
[08:12] ---
I wasn't able to get
her decent medical help.
[08:15] ---
But, thanks to Dorakura-sensei,
she's now in a hospital in Tokyo.
[08:21] ---
He offered to pay Kaori's
medical and hospital fees
[08:26] ---
if I became his ghostwriter.
[08:31] ---
So, killing Mr. Dorakura would
cut off your sister's treatment...
[08:37] ---
Yes.
[08:38] ---
Mr. Dorakura sure
was one horrible man.
[08:43] ---
A true vampire.
[08:46] ---
Even if the victim was as merciless
as a vampire, murder is murder!
[08:52] ---
It can't be forgiven.
[08:58] ---
I guess, unless Hamura-*san
*worked with one of the other two,
[09:01] ---
the murder would've been impossible.
[09:03] ---
But, the only way to get to the
only corridor is from the living room.
[09:09] ---
It'd be impossible to sneak past us all.
[09:11] ---
Even if it was possible, the study
room was locked from the inside.
[09:16] ---
The door had a rubber seal,
so outside tricks would be impossible.
[09:22] ---
And, if the window was
used to enter and exit,
[09:23] ---
only the snow in front
of the window had footprints.
[09:27] ---
The weapon was the wooden
stake in the collection room,
[09:29] ---
so the killer was someone
in Dracula Manor tonight.
[09:33] ---
Wait! Why did the person
kill him with the stake?
[09:37] ---
That limited the suspects
to those inside the building.
[09:41] ---
That would be very bad for the killer!
[09:44] ---
Yet... why did they
dare to use that weapon?
[09:48] ---
Could it be that...
[09:57] ---
I knew it! There's a
slight smell of oil paint left!
[10:02] ---
The windows were locked from the inside.
[10:05] ---
The small ventilation
windows have spring stoppers...
[10:12] ---
The twig piece I found
on the floor under the window...
[10:15] ---
And the strange imprints in the
snow on the roof above the window...
[10:20] ---
There's gotta be a connection! What is it?!
[10:24] ---
That's it! So, that's the deal!
[10:37] ---
What's this plastic bag?
[10:42] ---
This is...
[10:45] ---
There's gotta be a secret
passageway here somewhere!
[10:50] ---
There's nothing of the sort!
[10:53] ---
I have a good idea who's behind this.
[10:55] ---
But there's still a big mystery left!
[10:58] ---
Just how did the killer manage to...
[11:01] ---
Come to think of it,
[11:03] ---
why did the killer use the
projector to light up the body?
[11:07] ---
Was it just to recreate
the last scene of the movie?
[11:11] ---
What's that?
[11:16] ---
Tape? What's it doing here?
[11:20] ---
This is...
[11:26] ---
That's it! I know the real reason
why the killer lit up the body!
[11:31] ---
Now, I see the truth behind this case!
[11:40] ---
Dammit! There's no secret passage!
[11:45] ---
Hamura-san! Ma'am! Doi-san!
[11:47] ---
Don't tell me there's
a real vampire among you!
[11:52] ---
A vampire would be able to
fly to the study room and back!
[11:58] ---
Dear me. You appear to
be exhausted, Mori-san.
[12:01] ---
Take a nice nap and leave
the rest to me, old man!
[12:06] ---
Here we go again...
[12:12] ---
Let's return to our rooms, too.
[12:14] ---
Not so fast!
[12:16] ---
I was merely joking before.
Now, it's time to get down to business.
[12:22] ---
Down to business?
[12:23] ---
Are you suggesting you've
discovered the truth to this incident?
[12:26] ---
Of course I am.
[12:28] ---
Really?!
[12:29] ---
Yes. All of it.
[12:33] ---
Let us hear your theory then, Mori-san.
[12:37] ---
First, the wooden stake
used as the murder weapon.
[12:40] ---
I thought only Hamura-*san
*could have taken the stake,
[12:44] ---
but actually, anyone could
have stolen it from outside!
[12:49] ---
From outside?
[12:50] ---
There wasn't a single footstep
in the snow outside, you know.
[12:54] ---
There were no footprints because
the killer walked through the air.
[12:58] ---
Walked through the air?
[13:00] ---
Is this another of your jokes?
[13:03] ---
Were you aware that the window
by the entrance hall is as high up
[13:08] ---
as the roof above
the collection room window?
[13:12] ---
The killer used that fact to
make a bridge...
[13:16] ---
using a ladder.
[13:18] ---
A ladder?
[13:19] ---
Yes.
[13:20] ---
Walking across it, the killer could
get to the collection room window
[13:25] ---
without leaving any footsteps.
[13:27] ---
As proof, there are ladder
marks on the snow on the roof.
[13:31] ---
But, the windows were locked...
[13:33] ---
They could easily be
opened with a simple little trick.
[13:38] ---
By sticking the twig piece Conan found
[13:41] ---
between the ventilation
window's stopper and the glass.
[13:46] ---
This way, the stopper
will look like it's set,
[13:51] ---
but the window can
still be opened freely.
[13:53] ---
The killer stole the stake from there.
[13:56] ---
Afterward, simply closing the
window would make the stopper lock.
[14:01] ---
But, Mori-san! The stake was
two meters from that window!
[14:07] ---
The killer used a tree pruner.
[14:10] ---
You used one this afternoon,
Tadokoro-san.
[14:13] ---
There are attachments
for those for picking fruit.
[14:19] ---
The killer attached one and stuck
it through the ventilation window
[14:23] ---
to steal the stake.
[14:25] ---
Using this method, anyone
could have obtained the stake.
[14:29] ---
You can't be serious...
[14:32] ---
But, Mori-san, how did the
person go to the study and back?
[14:36] ---
Simple, by crossing the corridor.
[14:41] ---
What are you talking about?
That's absolute nonsense.
[14:44] ---
Is it?
[14:46] ---
Isn't it much more logical than
having the killer fly through the air?
[14:52] ---
You were in the living room, too.
You know no one used the corridor.
[14:57] ---
Oh, but one person did.
[15:01] ---
Yes. The killer...
[15:03] ---
was you, Tadokoro Toshiya-san!
[15:06] ---
Tadokoro-kun?
[15:07] ---
T-That can't be!
[15:10] ---
W-What are you talking about?!
[15:12] ---
The stake was still in the collection
room when I went to the study!
[15:17] ---
Isn't that right?!
[15:19] ---
That's true, Dad!
[15:21] ---
Ran, what you two saw was
an elaborately-made fake.
[15:26] ---
A fake?!
[15:27] ---
Yes.
[15:29] ---
When Tadokoro-san went to get
the film, he invited you and Conan
[15:33] ---
and showed you the stake, so you
would confirm it had been there.
[15:39] ---
Then, after killing Mr. Dorakura
with the real stake,
[15:42] ---
which he had hidden
in the study in advance,
[15:46] ---
he pretended to check all
the locks and stole the fake stake.
[15:52] ---
But, Mori-san. Do you have
proof the stake was a fake?
[16:01] ---
What's this?
[16:01] ---
This turned up after I instructed
Conan to look through the storeroom.
[16:07] ---
Yes, it's very well-made.
[16:11] ---
Was the fake blood
added using oil paint?
[16:13] ---
His wife does oil painting, so it
would've been easy to get the paint.
[16:19] ---
Tadokoro-kun...
[16:26] ---
Mori-san. Even if he did use
the corridor to reach the study,
[16:31] ---
how did he get inside?
[16:33] ---
It was locked from the inside,
so he couldn't have gone out the door.
[16:37] ---
And if he left through the window,
how did he return to the corridor?
[16:42] ---
There were no other footprints,
except those in front of the window.
[16:46] ---
The open window and the trampled
snow were simply a red herring.
[16:51] ---
Tadokoro-san entered
and exited through the door.
[16:55] ---
Then how could I have
locked it from the outside?!
[16:59] ---
Locking the door is no problem at all...
[17:03] ---
if you use that projector, that is!
[17:07] ---
Projector?
[17:09] ---
W-What are you talking about?
How could a projector do that?
[17:13] ---
Tadokoro-san,
I've figured it all out, you know...
[17:17] ---
Including why you lit up the body.
[17:21] ---
Wasn't it to recreate
the last scene of the movie?!
[17:25] ---
No, it wasn't.
[17:27] ---
The body was lit up to
camouflage the real reason
[17:32] ---
for moving the projector!
[17:34] ---
The real reason?
[17:36] ---
For this trick to work,
[17:38] ---
it was absolutely vital to move
the projector in front of the door.
[17:42] ---
But, the trick would be obvious
if only the projector were moved.
[17:47] ---
So, by lighting up the body as
a bit of an informed performance,
[17:53] ---
our attention was diverted.
[17:55] ---
I'll now reenact this trick I speak of.
[17:59] ---
Ran. Lend me a hand.
[17:59] ---
Yes! Okay!
[18:02] ---
First, pull about five
meters of film from the reel.
[18:06] ---
Right!
[18:11] ---
Next, stick a piece of
tape on the end of the film.
[18:15] ---
After that, throw the film over
the blackout curtain rail by the door,
[18:20] ---
and attach it to the lock on the door.
[18:26] ---
All done, Dad!
[18:29] ---
Now everything is set.
[18:32] ---
Ran. Start the projector.
[18:34] ---
Right!
[18:59] ---
This is how Tadokoro-*san
*locked the door.
[19:03] ---
But, unfortunately for him,
as the film was being pulled in,
[19:08] ---
the piece of tape caught on
the curtain rail and remained there.
[19:13] ---
On the piece of tape are small,
square marks... from perforations.
[19:19] ---
The square holes in
the film, in other words.
[19:23] ---
Tadokoro-san, can you
give any other explanation
[19:28] ---
as to why that perforation-marked
tape was stuck on the curtain rail?
[19:33] ---
W-Well...
[19:35] ---
I think it's about
time you tell us the truth.
[19:38] ---
You already confessed you were
the killer when the body was found.
[19:45] ---
At the time, you said
you could hear the projector.
[19:49] ---
Don't you find that strange?
[19:51] ---
The door had airtight,
sound-proof rubber sealing.
[19:55] ---
How could you hear
what was happening inside?
[19:59] ---
You knew that the
projector was on inside.
[20:06] ---
Or, shall we see if the projector is
audible behind the closed door?
[20:15] ---
I... killed him.
[20:20] ---
Tadokoro-san...
[20:22] ---
But why would you kill Dorakura-san?!
What about your sister?!
[20:28] ---
My sister... Kaori... has
been dead for a year now...
[20:35] ---
That can't be...
[20:38] ---
Dorakura never gave
Kaori real medical treatment.
[20:44] ---
He paid off her doctor so she
would get neither better nor worse.
[20:51] ---
Just to keep Kaori hospitalized longer.
[20:54] ---
But, then her condition suddenly
took a turn for the worse, and she...
[21:02] ---
I only found out about
this one month ago.
[21:06] ---
Dorakura kept my sister's
death secret the entire time!
[21:11] ---
I believed his lie about sending her
to a better hospital in America...
[21:17] ---
But, one month ago...
[21:21] ---
Kaori's nurse couldn't bear it
anymore and secretly came to tell me.
[21:27] ---
She said Kaori deliriously cried
my name over and over as she died...
[21:36] ---
If she had, had real treatment...
[21:39] ---
If she had had real treatment,
that never would've happened!
[21:44] ---
Dorakura murdered Kaori!
[21:47] ---
That's why... That's why I...
[21:58] ---
They say a vampire's bite can turn
a normal person into a vampire.
[22:04] ---
Unknowingly, Tadokoro-san might
have become a vampire himself.
[22:10] ---
A vampire known as a murderer...
[23:41] ---
Franken Manor?!
[23:43] ---
Yeah. It belongs to Furano Kenzo,
an engineering professor.
[23:47] ---
Apparently, he conducts strange
experiments every night and--
[23:50] ---
This time it's Frankenstein...
[23:54] ---
Now we just need
a wolfman and we're all set.
[24:04] ---
Mr. Shiraki!
[24:06] ---
Something's not right!
What could it be?!
[24:11] ---
Wait a minute!
[24:11] ---
When he was in the dressing room,
the flower on his chest was--
[24:15] ---
If Okano Rika-san is the killer,
who will she go after next?!
[24:20] ---
This is bad!
Who is she trying to kill?!
[24:23] ---
Who is it?!
I'm not gonna make it in time!
[24:26] ---
On the next Conan:
"The Flower Scent Murder Case."
[24:47] ---
Next Conan's hint:
[24:49] ---
Ice.
[24:51] ---
Next episode fits me perfectly. Smells like flowers.
[24:54] ---
Sometimes pretty flowers have thorns.
[24:55] ---
