**[00:01] ---**
My name's Conan Edogawa!
**[00:02] ---**
High school student Shinichi was forced
to take a pill that shrunk him!
**[00:05] ---**
My mind is still that of
a great detective, though!
**[00:07] ---**
Using my keen powers of deduction,
**[00:08] ---**
I solve every kind of case there is!
**[00:10] ---**
Today's case takes place
during a spring festival!
**[00:12] ---**
Even if it's hidden behind
the lens of a camera,
**[00:13] ---**
there is always only one truth!
**[00:15] ---**
*The first end of the century in 100 years*
**[00:21] ---**
*When told to cry, I laughed instead*
**[00:34] ---**
*The first end of the century
in a long, long time*
**[00:40] ---**
*We're leaping into a wide open world*
**[00:46] ---**
*The things I tried to
understand as a child*
**[00:52] ---**
*remain a mystery even as an adult*
**[00:58] ---**
*I'm neither a hotshot
nor especially great*
**[01:04] ---**
*All I understand is
the pounding of my heart*
**[01:11] ---**
*It's neither an answer nor the truth*
**[01:17] ---**
*All I have faith in is
the pounding of my heart*
**[01:23] ---**
*That and nothing else*
**[01:47] ---**
The Tenkaichi Night Festival Murder.
**[01:52] ---**
We now go live to Saitama prefecture's
Tenkaichi Night Festival.
**[01:56] ---**
The Tenkaichi Night Festival
is famous for the bonfires
**[01:59] ---**
that spell out the word "Tenkaichi"
on three separate mountains.
**[02:02] ---**
The lighting of the letters
is about to begin!
**[02:04] ---**
Hey! Can't you look
for it more quietly?!
**[02:08] ---**
Jeez. Just when I thought
you went to the festival,
**[02:11] ---**
you're already back here lookin'
for your wallet or something...
**[02:13] ---**
Can't even take a nice, relaxin' bath.
**[02:16] ---**
You haven't forgotten about your
promise for tonight, have you?!
**[02:19] ---**
Promise?
**[02:20] ---**
Come on! I came along because
you said you'd celebrate with me...
**[02:25] ---**
What's with that get-up?
**[02:27] ---**
And what happened in here?
**[02:30] ---**
Sorry, but tonight's plans are cancelled.
**[02:35] ---**
After all, the person we
would be honoring tonight...
**[02:38] ---**
Saitama prefecture's Tenkaichi
Night Festival is now underway!
**[02:42] ---**
Look! The character for "Ten" has
just been lit up on the mountain!
**[02:46] ---**
...is dead!
**[02:53] ---**
Nothing personal, Imatake.
**[02:59] ---**
Um, it sounded like there was a gunshot...
**[03:03] ---**
Hey!
**[03:32] ---**
Look! The last character, "Ichi,"
is lit up!
**[03:37] ---**
Did you know, Conan-kun?
**[03:38] ---**
At this festival,
the characters for "Tenkaichi"
**[03:43] ---**
are lit up on three mountains in
the hopes of a good harvest this year!
**[03:50] ---**
Almost entirely a copy
of Kyoto's Daimonji festival...
**[03:54] ---**
Staying at an inn and going
to a festival sure is nice!
**[04:00] ---**
It sure is! Don't you agree, Conan-kun?
**[04:02] ---**
Yeah.
**[04:04] ---**
If I didn't have that, that is.
**[04:07] ---**
I hate having her treat me like a kid!
**[04:16] ---**
Excuse me.
**[04:18] ---**
Could you take a picture for me?
**[04:19] ---**
Certainly!
**[04:21] ---**
Here's the camera...
**[04:23] ---**
Could you take it with that
"Ichi" character behind me?
**[04:28] ---**
Ready? Here goes!
**[04:31] ---**
Go ahead!
**[04:33] ---**
A balloon got into the shot...
**[04:36] ---**
That's fine. Thanks.
**[04:38] ---**
I'm writing about the various
festivals in this region.
**[04:42] ---**
That's what these pictures are for.
**[04:46] ---**
You're a writer?
**[04:47] ---**
You're so tan that I thought you
might play sports or something...
**[04:52] ---**
I got this from work.
I often go overseas, you see.
**[04:56] ---**
Oh, yes.
**[04:59] ---**
You can have this.
**[05:02] ---**
Are you sure?
**[05:05] ---**
Norikazu Sasai...
**[05:07] ---**
I used to write novels under
the pen name of Tomokazu Imai.
**[05:12] ---**
I've heard of him!
**[05:14] ---**
I read a lot of his stuff
in junior high!
**[05:17] ---**
That's strange.
**[05:19] ---**
I thought that Satoru Imatake
used that name for his debut...
**[05:24] ---**
Imatake and I are old friends.
**[05:26] ---**
We used to write things together.
**[05:28] ---**
With *the* Satoru Imatake?!
**[05:31] ---**
We both came here today.
**[05:33] ---**
Thought we'd drink the night away
**[05:36] ---**
in celebration of his
winning the Naomoto Award.
**[05:40] ---**
Sure is hot.
**[05:41] ---**
Take off your jacket if you're hot.
**[05:45] ---**
This would make a good picture!
**[05:47] ---**
Could you take a couple
more shots for me?
**[05:49] ---**
Sure!
**[05:58] ---**
Norikazu Sasai-san?
**[06:00] ---**
Yes...
**[06:01] ---**
I'm Detective Yokomizo from
the Saitama Police Department.
**[06:04] ---**
I'd like to ask you
about Satoru Imatake.
**[06:08] ---**
Has something happened to him?
**[06:10] ---**
He's been murdered.
**[06:13] ---**
In the hotel room you
were both staying in.
**[06:18] ---**
The murder weapon was a pistol.
**[06:20] ---**
The murder took place just
2 or 3 minutes after 8 PM.
**[06:23] ---**
The murderer was a young man.
**[06:25] ---**
He fled the room
immediately afterward.
**[06:29] ---**
You're completely sure
about all of this?
**[06:30] ---**
Yes. The TV coverage of
the festival had just started...
**[06:36] ---**
Shot cleanly through the head...
**[06:39] ---**
Hey, what are you doing?!
**[06:41] ---**
I'm a detective...
**[06:45] ---**
Wait, aren't you the famous
detective Kogoro Mori-san?!
**[06:51] ---**
Yes, that would be me...
**[06:54] ---**
I read about those difficult cases
that you solve all the time!
**[07:00] ---**
I'm glad to hear it...
**[07:02] ---**
I was the one who solved them all.
**[07:05] ---**
Please look around as you wish!
**[07:08] ---**
I'd be honored if you assisted me!
**[07:17] ---**
I see.
**[07:22] ---**
Huh?
**[07:26] ---**
What's this?
**[07:27] ---**
Toothpaste.
**[07:35] ---**
A toothbrush! Was the victim
killed while brushing his teeth?
**[07:39] ---**
You're always getting in the way!
**[07:41] ---**
What do you think, Detective Mori?
**[07:44] ---**
This smells greatly of a robbery.
**[07:47] ---**
A robbery?
**[07:51] ---**
Only the money has been removed
from the victim's wallet.
**[07:55] ---**
Plus the perpetrator
ransacked the room.
**[07:58] ---**
This was an ordinary crime
done for monetary gain.
**[08:03] ---**
Judging from the fact that
the victim fell near the front door,
**[08:07] ---**
most likely someone had
knocked on the door
**[08:10] ---**
and shot him the instant he opened it.
**[08:14] ---**
But Detective Mori!
**[08:16] ---**
What do you think about this?
**[08:19] ---**
The robbery was just a disguise--
**[08:21] ---**
the real killer was
the room's other occupant!
**[08:24] ---**
Hey now, you can't be serious!
**[08:26] ---**
The murder took place around 8, right?
**[08:28] ---**
In which case, I have an alibi!
**[08:31] ---**
I was at the Tenkaichi Night
Festival when it happened.
**[08:36] ---**
That's where I met Mori-san
and the others.
**[08:38] ---**
Isn't that right?
**[08:40] ---**
Yes.
**[08:41] ---**
But I believe it was during the last
half of the festival that we met.
**[08:45] ---**
Come on! I was there
from the very start!
**[08:48] ---**
If you think I'm lying...
**[08:50] ---**
...then have this developed.
**[08:52] ---**
It should prove that my alibi is real!
**[08:54] ---**
Okay! Get this developed right away!
**[08:57] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[09:01] ---**
Detective Yokomizo is right.
**[09:03] ---**
This was no robbery!
**[09:05] ---**
The victim and the killer
knew each other.
**[09:08] ---**
It's almost certainly him.
**[09:11] ---**
But what's with that big smile?!
**[09:14] ---**
Just what sort of alibi does
he have in that camera?!
**[09:20] ---**
Seven pictures in all.
**[09:24] ---**
But what do these have
to do with his alibi?
**[09:28] ---**
I took this one!
**[09:30] ---**
See! It has Conan-kun's balloon in it!
**[09:33] ---**
That's right. We met Sasai-san
when the "Ichi" character was lit.
**[09:37] ---**
But it's past 8:40 when "Ichi" is lit.
**[09:42] ---**
The murder took place at 8:02 or 8:03.
**[09:44] ---**
I think you could make it
to the festival grounds in 40 minutes
**[09:47] ---**
if you rushed by car.
**[09:50] ---**
Detective Yokomizo.
**[09:52] ---**
After the first character,
"Ten," is lit at 8:00,
**[09:56] ---**
about how long does it continue to burn?
**[09:58] ---**
Usually until about 8:25 or so.
**[10:01] ---**
Have a look at this picture!
**[10:05] ---**
This proves that he was at the festival
grounds before 8:25, at the latest.
**[10:12] ---**
The murder was at 8:00.
**[10:14] ---**
No matter how fast you drive,
**[10:16] ---**
it's impossible to go from here
to the festival grounds in 25 minutes!
**[10:22] ---**
Congratulations.
Your alibi is airtight.
**[10:25] ---**
Of course it is!
**[10:27] ---**
How can this be?
How can that picture be there?!
**[10:30] ---**
Is photographic alteration
out of the question?
**[10:35] ---**
Multiple exposures or something?
**[10:36] ---**
Someone good with
cameras could easily...
**[10:39] ---**
Hey, now. I handed the camera
directly over to you
**[10:42] ---**
and asked you to develop the film.
**[10:45] ---**
And besides, it was a disposable camera.
**[10:47] ---**
I could have done no such thing.
**[10:50] ---**
You were the one who
developed the film, right?
**[10:53] ---**
Yes, sir!
**[10:54] ---**
There were no signs of the camera
or film being tampered with!
**[10:57] ---**
See?
**[10:59] ---**
Come on, Detective Yokomizo.
**[11:00] ---**
You already knew
he was at the festival.
**[11:05] ---**
Yes. I heard from the hotel's front desk
that Sasai-san left around 7:30.
**[11:08] ---**
They remembered because he was
constantly asking the time.
**[11:15] ---**
That was because I wanted to make
it in time for the "Ten" character.
**[11:20] ---**
As you can see,
I forgot my watch today.
**[11:24] ---**
Something bugs me about
everything you did!
**[11:27] ---**
It's almost as if you were
trying to make an alibi...
**[11:29] ---**
Come on, now.
**[11:32] ---**
I would appreciate it if you would
stop wasting time like this
**[11:35] ---**
and get to the real task at hand,
**[11:37] ---**
like finding out who killed my friend.
**[11:45] ---**
Imatake-sensei!
**[11:47] ---**
Sensei!
**[11:49] ---**
Where did he go?
**[11:51] ---**
If you're looking for
Imatake-san's body,
**[11:53] ---**
he was taken down to the station.
**[11:55] ---**
Who might you be, anyway?
**[11:56] ---**
My name is Yamada, from the monthly
magazine *Literature Era*.
**[12:00] ---**
I rushed here as soon as the police
called me, but I guess he really is...
**[12:04] ---**
*Literature Era*? Didn't Imatake-san...
**[12:08] ---**
Yes, it published his
"Heroic Sword Legend" series.
**[12:11] ---**
Wait, are you Sasai-sensei?!
**[12:14] ---**
Come to think of it,
**[12:14] ---**
Imatake did mention that his
deadline was coming up soon
**[12:17] ---**
but he still wasn't done.
**[12:19] ---**
That's right!
His deadline was tomorrow!
**[12:23] ---**
Oh no!
**[12:25] ---**
Even if I ask someone else to write
something, there isn't enough time,
**[12:27] ---**
and nothing would ever
be as good as his!
**[12:31] ---**
I guess I have no other choice.
**[12:37] ---**
Here.
**[12:38] ---**
What's this?
**[12:40] ---**
Something I wrote a while back.
**[12:43] ---**
Imatake kept bugging me
to show it to him,
**[12:45] ---**
so I just happened
to bring it with me today.
**[12:48] ---**
I doubt it compares with
Imatake's series, though.
**[12:51] ---**
No, seeing as you used
to work with him,
**[12:56] ---**
I'm sure the editors
will all be delighted!
**[12:59] ---**
Are you sure?
**[13:00] ---**
That's only the prologue
to an especially long story.
**[13:03] ---**
We would be very grateful
**[13:05] ---**
if you would continue
to write for *Literature Era*...
**[13:08] ---**
I don't know, I'm busy enough
as it is already...
**[13:11] ---**
Can't I persuade you somehow?
**[13:13] ---**
Very well! I shall write for
the late Imatake's sake!
**[13:19] ---**
Thank you! I have to be going now!
**[13:22] ---**
Hey, Detective.
**[13:24] ---**
You heard that, right?
**[13:25] ---**
It would seem I must hurry
back home and get to work.
**[13:30] ---**
For Imatake, who was killed by
some idiot who just wanted his money.
**[13:35] ---**
There's no question about it--
he's the killer!
**[13:38] ---**
But he has an alibi.
**[13:40] ---**
How? How was he able
to take that picture?!
**[13:46] ---**
What's more, the camera was untampered
with and he had Ran use it.
**[13:52] ---**
A picture at 8:50
wouldn't serve as an alibi.
**[13:58] ---**
Darn it! There has to be something!
**[14:00] ---**
Something that will bring
his alibi crumbling down!
**[14:03] ---**
Think back to when you met him!
**[14:07] ---**
Sorry, but I need to get going.
**[14:09] ---**
Not so fast!
**[14:11] ---**
That's right!
**[14:14] ---**
Sure is hot.
**[14:16] ---**
He didn't take his jacket off...
**[14:18] ---**
Or maybe he couldn't take it off!
**[14:19] ---**
Why not?!
**[14:21] ---**
Could you take a picture for me?
**[14:23] ---**
Here's the camera...
**[14:25] ---**
Could you take it with that
"Ichi" character behind me?
**[14:31] ---**
Wait! I still want to talk to you!
**[14:34] ---**
You just never give up!
Keep harassing me and I'll sue!
**[14:39] ---**
Aha, so that's it!
**[14:42] ---**
Now I've got this trick figured out!
**[14:44] ---**
Just as I thought, he is the killer!
**[14:47] ---**
What's more, this was
a premeditated murder!
**[15:00] ---**
I've got the trick behind his
alibi photo completely figured out!
**[15:06] ---**
I better let the detective
know before it's too late!
**[15:09] ---**
Whatever. I'm leaving now.
**[15:11] ---**
Not so fast!
**[15:13] ---**
I have to do something!
**[15:16] ---**
Okay! Time for my secret weapon!
**[15:34] ---**
Now to set his pose...
**[15:36] ---**
...arrange the photographs on the desk...
**[15:42] ---**
...and then use this Voice-Altering
Bow Tie to mimic his voice!
**[15:54] ---**
Yikes!
**[15:54] ---**
How many times do I have to tell you?!
**[15:56] ---**
I have photographic proof it wasn't me!
**[15:59] ---**
Please, Detective. Could you
tell him how incompetent he is?
**[16:05] ---**
Incompetent he is.
**[16:07] ---**
You really disappoint me,
Detective Yokomizo!
**[16:11] ---**
Mori-san!
**[16:13] ---**
I kept quiet so you could
have all of the credit,
**[16:18] ---**
yet you were still fooled by the trick
used to make that alibi photograph!
**[16:24] ---**
So, then he is--
**[16:25] ---**
Yes.
**[16:26] ---**
The one who killed Mr. Satoru
Imatake is none other than...
**[16:30] ---**
...the one standing next to you--
Norikazu Sasai!
**[16:34] ---**
Wait just a minute!
**[16:37] ---**
Weren't you the one who said
this was a robbery?!
**[16:43] ---**
I said that so you would
lower your guard.
**[16:48] ---**
I knew from the very instant
I saw the victim
**[16:50] ---**
that the murderer was
an acquaintance of his.
**[16:55] ---**
Based on what?
**[16:57] ---**
The toothpaste foam
in the victim's mouth.
**[17:00] ---**
His toothbrush was also
lying on the ground near him.
**[17:03] ---**
In other words, the victim
was brushing his teeth
**[17:06] ---**
before he was shot!
**[17:08] ---**
So? Everyone brushes their teeth.
**[17:13] ---**
Yes.
**[17:15] ---**
But it's not very common for people
to open the front door for strangers
**[17:20] ---**
while still brushing
their teeth, now is it?
**[17:27] ---**
One more thing--
this room's condition.
**[17:32] ---**
The murderer fled immediately
after the gunshot.
**[17:38] ---**
Do you think it would be possible
to ransack this entire room
**[17:41] ---**
in such a short amount of time?
**[17:45] ---**
Most likely it was done
purposely before the murder
**[17:49] ---**
to make it look like
an ordinary robbery.
**[17:55] ---**
I see.
**[17:56] ---**
All of the evidence at the scene
of the crime seems to point to me.
**[18:01] ---**
But I have an alibi.
**[18:04] ---**
How do you explain that photograph?
**[18:09] ---**
This is most likely
a picture that you took
**[18:12] ---**
when you came
to a previous festival.
**[18:15] ---**
You then held on to the camera
until today's festival,
**[18:19] ---**
where you ran into Ran and had
her continue taking more pictures.
**[18:25] ---**
Although it was
an extremely simple trick,
**[18:28] ---**
the fact that you were
wearing the exact same clothes
**[18:30] ---**
made it easy to mistake
it for a picture you took today!
**[18:34] ---**
That's right!
**[18:35] ---**
The reason you endured
the heat and kept your jacket on
**[18:38] ---**
was because you didn't want to look
any different than in the 1st photo!
**[18:43] ---**
Am I wrong?
**[18:48] ---**
What a splendid sense
of imagination, Detective Mori!
**[18:51] ---**
But do you have any proof that I took
that picture at a previous festival?!
**[18:58] ---**
Why, yes, I do!
**[19:01] ---**
What?!
**[19:07] ---**
Look! It's right here
in this picture! Your--
**[19:10] ---**
Hey, you!
**[19:13] ---**
Don't be bothering Dad!
**[19:21] ---**
Dad?
**[19:22] ---**
Oh no!
**[19:28] ---**
I leave the rest to you,
Detective Yokomizo.
**[19:31] ---**
Right.
**[19:32] ---**
His wrist?
**[19:42] ---**
As you can see,
I forgot my watch today.
**[19:58] ---**
What are you doing?!
**[20:02] ---**
How do you explain this?
**[20:04] ---**
Your wrist is perfectly tan
in your alibi photograph!
**[20:09] ---**
Yet your wrist is white now!
**[20:14] ---**
The truth is that you took
this picture one year ago!
**[20:17] ---**
Isn't that right, Sasai-san?!
**[20:23] ---**
I concede defeat, Detective.
**[20:28] ---**
I decided to get rid of
Imatake one year ago!
**[20:32] ---**
I wanted to take his place
at the top of the literary world!
**[20:37] ---**
Yes. One year ago,
it was decided that my work
**[20:41] ---**
would be published as
a series in *Literature Era*.
**[20:44] ---**
But right before the deadline,
the editors switched to Imatake instead!
**[20:50] ---**
Simply because he had
a better reputation than I.
**[20:54] ---**
I saw that series as my last
chance to make it as a writer.
**[21:01] ---**
But then he had to
go and snatch it away,
**[21:03] ---**
almost as if he was ridiculing me!
**[21:05] ---**
So, then you killed him?
**[21:08] ---**
Yes. I killed him.
**[21:16] ---**
Miss.
**[21:17] ---**
About Imatake's work
that won the Naomoto Award...
**[21:21] ---**
We both thought up the story for it
**[21:25] ---**
back when Imatake
and I used to write together.
**[21:29] ---**
Though I suppose nobody
would believe me now.
**[21:56] ---**
*Just my imagination*
**[21:58] ---**
*Playing with threads around my finger
while drinking lukewarm tea*
**[22:10] ---**
*Let's walk lightly
to the bossa nova rhythm*
**[22:17] ---**
*The puzzle pieces are in my hands*
**[22:23] ---**
*That's right...*
**[22:29] ---**
*I was in the same place last week
but with different clothes*
**[22:40] ---**
*Step by step,
there's no reason to be anxious*
**[22:47] ---**
*Case by case,
I don't care if you laugh*
**[22:54] ---**
*Beyond the countless days,
she's waiting for me*
**[23:02] ---**
*I gotta go my own way*
**[23:16] ---**
Excellent detective work,
Detective Mori!
**[23:20] ---**
It was all thanks to you that
we were able to solve the case
**[23:23] ---**
and arrest Sasai!
**[23:26] ---**
Case? Arrest? Sasai?
**[23:29] ---**
Oh, stop pretending!
**[23:31] ---**
Uh oh!
**[23:32] ---**
I always knew Sasai was the killer...
**[23:34] ---**
...I just wasted time
to make filler! Get it?!
**[23:50] ---**
Keep laughing!
**[24:03] ---**
Why aren't you going in?
**[24:04] ---**
You have business in there, don't you?
**[24:10] ---**
You went out with Shinichi?!
**[24:13] ---**
The lock has marks on it
from being tampered with...
**[24:16] ---**
It's a kidnapping, isn't it?
**[24:17] ---**
I've finally found you, Shinichi...
**[24:21] ---**
Shinichi! Come out this instant!
**[24:23] ---**
I know you're in there!
