SIGN    Mori Detective Agency
[00:09] Ran
    Dad! I told you to wait until
    after dinner to drink beer.
[00:13] Ran
    You always fall asleep when you drink.
[00:15] Ran
    You never help clean up.
[00:17] Kogoro
    Shut up.
[00:18] Kogoro
    I need more than one drink after all
    the unbelievably hard work I did today.
[00:23] Ran
    Dad.
[00:24] Kogoro
    You may not understand,
[00:27] Kogoro
    but this is my only joy right now.
[00:32] Ran
    Yeah, yeah.
[00:34] Ran
    Wait until after dinner, though.
[00:41] Ran
    Hello, Mori residence.
[00:44] Ran
    Detective Takagi.
[00:45] Ran
    Yes, Conan-kun's here.
[00:49] Takagi
    The truth is...
[00:53] Ran
    What?
[00:54] Ran
    Conan-kun is a witness in a murder case?
[01:00] Conan
    When the countdown reaches zero, use your
    detective skills to produce an answer!
[01:07] Conan
    A shocking phone call from Detective Takagi!
[01:09] Conan
    What do I have to do with the case?
[01:11] Conan
    Always determining the one truth
[01:13] Conan
    with the body of a child
    and the mind of an adult,
[01:15] Conan
    his name is Detective Conan!
SIGN    The Detective Boys Become Models
[02:56] Conan
    "The Detective Boys Become Models!"
[03:06] Takagi
    I'll summarize the case.
[03:09] Kogoro
    Please do.
SIGN    Kitasono Seiho (72)
    Painter
[03:11] Takagi
    The victim is Kitasono Seiho-san,
    seventy-two years old.
[03:14] Takagi
    He died when he was struck
    in the back of the head.
[03:17] Takagi
    We believe the weapon was
    the plaster bust over there.
[03:20] Takagi
    Seiho-san was famous in the
    world of Japanese painting.
[03:24] Takagi
    He acted as the chairperson on judging
    committees for various exhibitions.
[03:29] Takagi
    His estimated time of death is around 3:30 PM.
[03:32] Sato
    His body was found by his
    apprentice Higashio Kengo-san.
[03:37] Sato
    It was around 3:50 PM when
    Higashio-san entered the studio
[03:40] Sato
    and found Seiho-san on the ground,
[03:43] Sato
    bleeding from his head.
[03:46] Sato
    Higashio-san then left the studio
    and returned to the house,
[03:50] Sato
    where he reported what he found
    to housekeeper Minamida Shizu-san.
[03:54] Sato
    At the same time, Seiho-san's
    wife Kinuko-san returned home.
[03:58] Sato
    They confirmed Seiho-san was dead,
[04:00] Sato
    and Shizu-san called the police at 3:58 PM.
[04:06] Chiba
    Later, his other apprentice
    Nishiyama Daiki-san arrived.
[04:11] Chiba
    He arrived after us around 5 PM.
[04:15] Kogoro
    I see.
[04:17] Ran
    Why is Conan-kun a witness in a murder case?
[04:22] Takagi
    Well...
[04:24] Conan
    Wow, it's already finished.
[04:26] Ran
    It's Conan-kun and his friends.
[04:28] Takagi
    This is the painting the late
    artist Nishiyama-san
[04:32] Takagi
    was working on at Lake Okuho today.
[04:35] Takagi
    We had Conan-kun come to confirm the time.
[04:40] Conan
    I think we met Nishiyama-san around 11 AM.
[04:46] Conan
    But we left after about
    fifteen minutes of sketching,
[04:50] Conan
    so I don't know how long
    Nishiyama-san was painting there.
[04:54] Conan
    But...
[04:55] Kogoro
    But he finished this painting.
[04:59] Kogoro
    He must've been there for a while.
[05:03] Conan
    He's right.
[05:06] Higashio
    Well, Detective?
[05:07] Higashio
    Have you figured anything out?
[05:11] Megure
    We're still gathering information.
[05:14] Megure
    Nothing so far.
[05:15] Higashio
    In any case, Kitasono-sensei wasn't someone
    anyone would've hated enough to kill.
SIGN    Higashio Kengo (33)
    Kitasono's Apprentice
[05:21] Kinuko
    So you say.
SIGN    Kitasono Kinuko (60)
    Kitasono's Wife
[05:24] Kinuko
    But, Higashio-san, aren't you
    the one who killed my husband?
[05:29] Higashio
    Why would you say that?
[05:32] Kinuko
    You resented him for not
    recommending you
[05:36] Kinuko
    for the teaching position
    at the Beika Art School.
[05:40] Higashio
    This is ridiculous.
[05:42] Higashio
    In that case, weren't you
    fighting with your husband
[05:46] Higashio
    over the money you were
    throwing at a young host?
[05:49] Higashio
    You're more suspicious than I am.
[05:53] Nishiyama
    Let's not discuss this right now.
SIGN    Minamida Shizu (55)
    Housekeeper
[05:56] Nishiyama
    Kitasono-sensei just died.
[05:59] Kinuko
    Seriously, Nishiyama-san?
[06:01] Kinuko
    You're suspicious as well.
[06:03] Nishiyama
    What?
[06:04] Kinuko
    My husband told you he'd select your piece
    to win an exhibition if you paid him.
SIGN    Nishiyama Daiki (26)
    Kitasono's Apprentice
[06:11] Kinuko
    Maybe you killed him because
    you couldn't afford it.
[06:14] Nishiyama
    I-I would never!
[06:16] Megure
    Ahem!
[06:18] Megure
    Let me ask again.
[06:21] Megure
    When Higashio-san arrived, the
    door wasn't locked, correct?
[06:26] Higashio
    Yes. Normally it's locked,
[06:29] Higashio
    but on days like today when he knew we
    were coming, he sometimes left it open.
[06:34] Megure
    According to forensics,
    the windows were unlocked.
[06:38] Nishiyama
    Yes.
[06:40] Nishiyama
    He did sometimes work
    with the windows open.
[06:43] Higashio
    Working with oil paints will fill a
    room with the smell of paint and oil.
[06:47] Megure
    I see.
[06:48] Megure
    But he would've noticed immediately
[06:51] Megure
    if a stranger entered through
    the door or windows.
[06:55] Kinuko
    Not necessarily.
[06:57] Kinuko
    When he was caught up in his work,
[06:59] Kinuko
    he'd forget to eat or use the bathroom.
[07:03] Megure
    I see.
[07:04] Megure
    By the way, was there anything
    valuable in the studio?
[07:09] Kinuko
    I'm not sure if they were valuable, but my
    husband kept a few of his paintings there.
[07:14] Kinuko
    Even if anything's missing, I wouldn't know.
[07:18] Higashio
    At the very least, they'd
    probably sell for a few million.
[07:23] Kogoro
    O-One million?
[07:27] Ran
    Sorry.
[07:29] Higashio
    To be accurate, a few million.
[07:32] Higashio
    His larger pieces are worth
    close to ten million.
[07:37] Megure
    Which means it may have been a robbery.
[07:41] Megure
    Once again,
[07:42] Megure
    during the estimated time of
    death between 3:10 and 3:40,
[07:47] Megure
    where were all of you?
[07:51] Higashio
    I was at home all day today.
[07:53] Higashio
    I left after three and drove here.
[07:57] Kinuko
    I went out before noon.
[07:59] Kinuko
    I ate at the Beika department store and
    visited two other department stores after that.
[08:05] Nishiyama
    I was on the train from
    Lake Okuho to Beika City.
[08:10] Shizu
    I left just before three to go
    shopping at the nearby supermarket.
[08:17] Shizu
    I returned about five minutes
    before Higashio-san arrived.
[08:20] Megure
    I see.
[08:22] Megure
    Do you have anything or anyone
    to verify your alibis?
[08:28] Kinuko
    Verify?
[08:29] Higashio
    Our alibis?
[08:31] Nishiyama
    But how can we verify...?
[08:34] Nishiyama
    You were there this afternoon.
[08:35] Conan
    Yeah. You already finished
    the painting of us.
[08:38] Nishiyama
    Yeah. I was late coming here
    because I was working on that.
[08:42] Conan
    I'd like to show the others.
[08:45] Conan
    Can I take a picture?
[08:47] Nishiyama
    Of course.
[08:48] Nishiyama
    Oh, right.
[08:50] Nishiyama
    That reminds me...
[08:52] Nishiyama
    Detective, this is a picture
    I took at Lake Okuho Station.
[08:56] Nishiyama
    Does this verify my alibi?
[08:59] Chiba
    It's certainly clear that you took
    it at Lake Okuho Station, but...
[09:03] Kogoro
    If it'd included the time, it
    would've verified your alibi.
[09:08] Nishiyama
    I see.
[09:09] Conan
    Let me see.
[09:11] Nishiyama
    Sure.
[09:16] Conan
    Huh? Look at this.
[09:20] Conan
    If you enlarge the sign
    behind Nishiyama-san...

[09:26] Conan
    See?
[09:28] Nishiyama
    That's right.
[09:29] Nishiyama
    I took the 2:02 PM train back.
[09:33] Megure
    From Lake Okuho Station to here...
[09:35] Chiba
    It takes close to two hours.
[09:39] Megure
    So he's probably got an alibi.
[09:42] Megure
    In any case, we're also considering
    the possibility of theft as we investigate,
[09:48] Megure
    but to be on the safe side,
    we're checking everyone's alibi.
[09:53] Megure
    We appreciate your cooperation.
[10:01] Takagi
    I can't believe you four are tagging along.
[10:05] Mitsuhiko
    Tagging along? How rude.
[10:07] Genta
    We're helping you with your investigation.
[10:10] Ayumi
    We remember when he asked
    us to be his models.
[10:14] Conan
    Since he has the painting
    and photos of the station,
[10:17] Conan
    Nishiyama-san's alibi is as good as verified.
[10:20] Conan
    It won't take long.
[10:22] Takagi
    Yeah, but...
[10:26] Kinuko
    Why are you suddenly dropping in?
[10:29] Chiba
    We appreciate your cooperation.
[10:31] Kinuko
    What do you want?
[10:33] Chiba
    After canvassing the Mitsuboshi and Marukawa
    department stores you claimed you visited,
[10:39] Chiba
    we found no one who said they saw you there.
[10:45] Chiba
    Naturally, we checked the
    security camera footage as well,
[10:49] Chiba
    but we couldn't find you
    anywhere during that time.
[10:56] Chiba
    Between noon and 4 PM yesterday,
[11:00] Chiba
    why don't you tell us where and
    what you were actually doing?
[11:07] Announce
    Aohata Station.
[11:08] Announce
    For Lake Okuho Station, transfer to...
[11:10] Ayumi
    Look.
[11:11] Genta
    So many mountains.
[11:16] Higashio
    Who is it?
[11:20] Sato
    Higashio-san.
[11:21] Sato
    You said you were at home yesterday at 1 PM,
[11:25] Sato
    but the deliveryman who came to your
    place said no one answered the door.
[11:31] Higashio
    Oh, please. I was here.
[11:33] Higashio
    I don't like to be seen in my
    pajamas, so I didn't answer.
[11:38] Sato
    I see.
[11:40] Sato
    We'd like to ask you more about that.
[11:44] Sato
    Could you come down to the station with us?
SIGN    Lake Okuho Station
[11:51] Ayumi
    See? It's just like we said.
[11:53] Ayumi
    That sign that shows the destinations
    changed the moment the train started moving.
[11:59] Mitsuhiko
    He only could've gotten on at 2:02 PM.
[12:02] Genta
    The station attendant said the same thing.
[12:05] Conan
    Sir, when does the sign switch
    to showing the next destination?
[12:11] Attendant
    It changes automatically when
    the previous train departs.
[12:16] Attendant
    After all, Japan has the most
    punctual trains in the world.
[12:21] Ayumi
    The man who made that
    painting is a good person.
[12:24] Ayumi
    You got that, Detective Takagi?
[12:29] Takagi
    This is Takagi.
[12:31] Megure
    It's me.
[12:33] Megure
    Where are you?
[12:34] Takagi
    Well...
[12:37] Takagi
    Sorry, Inspector.
[12:38] Takagi
    We just arrived at Lako Okuho.
[12:41] Megure
    I see.
[12:42] Megure
    We were able to confirm the
    housekeeper Shizu-san's alibi.
[12:45] Megure
    We learned his wife Kinuko-san was visiting
    a male host around that time, too.
[12:52] Megure
    We're just waiting for confirmation
    on Higashio-san and Nishiyama-san.
[12:56] Takagi
    Got it.
[12:58] Takagi
    I'll let you know the
    moment I learn anything.
[13:02] Conan
    That's where we got the painting done.
[13:05] Ayumi
    Hooray!
[13:06] Ayumi
    It's right here.
[13:09] Takagi
    Let's see.
[13:11] Takagi
    It certainly looks exactly the same.
[13:14] Genta
    Of course it is.
[13:15] Genta
    It's only been a day.
[13:18] Mitsuhiko
    Genta-kun wouldn't lose weight
[13:21] Mitsuhiko
    or Conan-kun wouldn't grow in a single day.
[13:25] Takagi
    By the way, I've been
    wondering since yesterday.
[13:29] Takagi
    How did you end up being his models?
[13:32] Ayumi
    There was a dog here.
[13:38] Ayumi
    How cute.
[13:40] Ayumi
    What's your name?
[13:43] Nishiyama
    Are you kids in grade school?
[13:45] Mitsuhiko
    Yes.
[13:45] Genta
    We're first-years at
    Teitan Elementary School.
[13:48] Nishiyama
    Are you on a field trip today?
[13:50] Nishiyama
    Would you like to model for me?
[13:54] Takagi
    I see. So that's what happened.
[13:57] Mitsuhiko
    Do you get it now?
[13:59] Mitsuhiko
    The four of us can verify his alibi.
[14:04] Takagi
    Okay, okay.
[14:06] Takagi
    Since his alibi's been
    verified, we can go now.
[14:10] Ayumi
    What? We came all the way here,
    and we're leaving already?
[14:14] Ayumi
    Let's have some fun first.
[14:16] Takagi
    We can't.
[14:17] Takagi
    We didn't come here to play.

[14:26] Megure
    I see. You're sure, then?
[14:29] Takagi
    Yes. Nishiyama-san has an alibi.
[14:33] Megure
    That just leaves Higashio-san's alibi.
[14:35] Megure
    Sato-kun's talking to him now.
[14:38] Takagi
    I see.
[14:42] Genta
    I'm hungry.
[14:44] Genta
    I can't take another step.
[14:46] Takagi
    Okay, okay.
[14:47] Takagi
    I'll buy you something while
    we're waiting to transfer.
[14:51] Genta
    That's not good enough.
[14:53] Genta
    I want eel.
[14:54] Genta
    Since we're in the mountains,
    they'll have wild eel.
[14:58] Takagi
    Wild eel, huh?
[15:01] Higashio
    Lucky me.
[15:04] Higashio
    I get to be interrogated
    by a beautiful detective.
[15:12] Conan
    Hurry up. The train's leaving.
[15:15] Genta
    This and this and...
[15:16] Genta
    I don't need this, but I do need this.
[15:29] Higashio
    I'm sorry!
[15:31] Higashio
    I lied!

    Huh?

    This is...
[15:59] Genta
    Why are we going back?
[16:01] Ayumi
    Are we going to play?
[16:04] Takagi
    There's something I need to check again.
[16:08] Mitsuhiko
    Something you need to check?
[16:11] Conan
    You didn't notice?
[16:13] Mitsuhiko
    Notice what?
[16:14] Conan
    The sign at Aohata Station changed,
[16:17] Conan
    even though the train hadn't left yet.
[16:21] Mitsuhiko
    What?
[16:22] Conan
    In other words, if the same thing happened
    when Nishiyama-san took that photo,
[16:28] Conan
    then Nishiyama-san could've
    boarded the previous train.
[16:36] Takagi
    This is Takagi.
[16:38] Megure
    We confirmed Higashio-san's alibi.
[16:41] Megure
    He was with a married woman at the time.
[16:45] Takagi
    Could it have been an intruder?
[16:47] Megure
    Forensics is saying there are no signs
    someone entered from outside the house.
[16:56] Attendant
    What? Yesterday?
[16:58] Conan
    Yeah. Were there any trains
    that departed late?
[17:01] Attendant
    Yeah, there was one.
[17:03] Conan
    What time?
[17:05] Attendant
    It was the 1:17 PM train to Aohata.
[17:09] Takagi
    Why was it delayed?
[17:10] Attendant
    It tried to leave on time,
[17:14] Attendant
    but the gates at the crossing just
    outside the station wouldn't descend.
[17:18] Attendant
    When the conductor examined it, he found
    someone had vandalized the crossing gate.
[17:22] Conan
    Earlier you said the sign
    changes automatically
[17:27] Conan
    when it's time for the
    previous train to leave.
[17:30] Conan
    Does that mean the sign changed to 2:02 PM
    while the previous train was late?
[17:35] Attendant
    Yeah, that's right.
[17:37] Conan
    Could you look up what time the delayed
    train arrived in Aohata Station?
[17:43] Attendant
    Let's see.
[17:45] Attendant
    It departed five minutes late,
[17:47] Attendant
    but it made up some time on the way.
[17:49] Attendant
    The train scheduled to arrive
    at 1:50 arrived at 1:53.
[17:54] Genta
    So, what?
[17:56] Conan
    If you arrive in Aohata Station at 1:53,
[17:59] Conan
    you can get on the 1:55 special express.
[18:03] Conan
    But the question is...
[18:07] Mitsuhiko
    They're the same.
[18:09] Takagi
    There's no mistaking it.
[18:11] Takagi
    He made this painting here.
[18:13] Conan
    But we met Nishiyama-san around 11.
[18:17] Conan
    He couldn't have painted this
    in the less than two hours
[18:22] Conan
    between when he started and
    when he got on the 1:17 train.
[18:26] Ayumi
    Huh? What's this?
[18:28] Mitsuhiko
    He probably accidentally
    got some paint on it.
[18:35] Ayumi
    It's yesterday's dog.
[18:37] Conan
    Mister, this dog was tied to
    this tree yesterday, right?
[18:41] Man
    Yeah. I was fishing down there.
[18:45] Man
    There's good fishing here.
[18:47] Conan
    Do you live nearby?
[18:49] Man
    Yeah.
[18:50] Conan
    Could you take a look at something?
[18:54] Takagi
    Do you know what this is?
[18:57] Man
    Yeah, it's barricade tape.
[19:00] Takagi
    Barricade tape?
[19:02] Man
    They were worried about a dead tree falling,
[19:05] Man
    so a crew from town hall
    cut it down last week.
[19:08] Conan
    Last week?
[19:10] Conan
    Around what time did you take
    your dog home yesterday?
[19:14] Man
    I went home to eat lunch,
    so it was around 12:30.
[19:18] Conan
    There was someone painting here then, right?
[19:21] Man
    No, I didn't see anyone painting.
[19:23] Genta
    What?!
[19:24] Mitsuhiko
    He wasn't here?!
[19:26] Ayumi
    Really?
[19:30] Takagi
    Thank you.
[19:34] Conan
    We solved it, Detective Takagi.
[19:36] Takagi
    Yeah.
[19:38] Megure
    What? Nishiyama-san's alibi fell apart?
[19:43] Takagi
    Yes. This is how Nishiyama-san
    fabricated his alibi.
[19:47] Conan
    First, he made that painting last week.
[19:52] Mitshuko
    But that's not enough to prove an alibi.
[19:55] Conan
    That's why he asked us to model yesterday
[19:59] Conan
    and painted us on top of the
    scenery he'd already painted.
[20:03] Conan
    But there was something there
    that shouldn't have been:
[20:07] Conan
    the tree that was cut down last week.
[20:12] Mitsuhiko
    Then Nishiyama-san returned to the station,
[20:15] Mitsuhiko
    vandalized the crossing
    gate, and delayed the train.
[20:18] Ayumi
    He waited for the sign to
    change and took a photo.
[20:23] Ayumi
    But since he actually
    boarded the 1:17 PM train,
[20:28] Mitshiko
    he was able to board the 1:55 PM
    special express at Aohata Station.
[20:33] Genta
    That train would let him arrive at the
    studio in time to commit the murder.
[20:39] Conan
    We don't know his motive, but if
    he did all that work beforehand,
[20:45] Conan
    then Nishiyama Daiki-san definitely
    killed Kitasono Seiho-san.
[20:56] Nishiyama
    It... It wasn't my fault!
[21:00] Nishiyama
    It's... It's...
[21:03] Nishiyama
    It's Kitasono-sensei's fault!
[21:06] Nishiyama
    He made people pay in exchange
    for selecting them as winners.
[21:12] Nishiyama
    I couldn't afford it,
[21:14] Nishiyama
    so I always lost.
[21:17] Megure
    Nishiyama-san, why did you
    decide to become a painter?
[21:22] Megure
    Because you loved painting?
[21:25] Megure
    Didn't you become an artist so the children
    who saw your paintings would smile?
[21:32] Megure
    But you betrayed the children
    who modeled for you.
[21:37] Megure
    You deceived your audience and stooped
    to using them to commit a murder.
[21:42] Megure
    You've been betrayed as well
[21:46] Megure
    by the paintings you used to love.
[23:16] Mitsuhiko
    Genta-kun, no fair.
[23:19] Genta
    You guys said you just wanted drinks.
[23:22] Genta
    You didn't say you wanted any.
[23:24] Ayumi
    Detective Takagi, we want ice cream, too.
[23:27] Mitsuhiko
    Yeah, we wanted you to know
    without us telling you.
[23:30] Takagi
    You kids are hopeless.
[23:38] Conan
    Japan has the most punctual
    trains in the world.
[23:41] Both
    Ice cream!
