[00:14] Ran
    Thank you so much for towing our car.

    at the station up ahead than
    in the middle of the mountains.
[00:25] Saeki
    We were planning on stopping there
    to pick up groceries anyway.
[00:30] Conan
    Are you guys going camping?
SIGN    Komada Takahiro (22)
    Goto Research Lab Assistant
[00:34] Komada
    Our college lab always
    goes camping together.
SIGN    Goto Shoji (50)
    College Professor
[00:38] Komada
    Our professor enjoys this kind of thing.
[00:40] Conan
    Really?
[00:45] Haruka
    Komada-kun, you should get
    a smartphone already.
SIGN    Inoue Haruka (23)
    Goto Research Lab Assistant
[00:48] Komada
    I will once this one breaks.
[00:52] Haruka
    It takes too long to exchange data with you.
[00:56] Haruka
    Try putting yourself in our shoes.
[00:58] Komada
    S-Sorry.
[00:59] Saeki
    Oh, right.
[01:01] Saeki
    This time we're also celebrating the
    publication of our professor's paper.
[01:05] Ran
    Really? That's amazing.
[01:07] Haruka
    The world must be ending if that perverted
    drunkard is being recognized.
[01:12] Komada
    H-Haruka-san, he'll hear you.
[01:15] Haruka
    He won't wake up. He always gets
    like this when he's drunk.
[01:18] Haruka
    Besides, it's not like you guys
    like the professor either.
[01:22] Saeki
    Hey, what are you talking about?
[01:24] Haruka
    Maybe you all actually think,
[01:27] Haruka
    "If only the professor would
    disappear from this world."

[03:37] Conan
    "The Murderous Carpool!"
[03:42] Kogoro
    Thank you so much.
[03:49] Ran
    Excuse me. These are for you.
[03:52] Komada
    Oh, you didn't need to.
[03:54] Ran
    I wanted to thank you for your help.
[03:58] Ran
    Where's your friend?
[04:00] Haruka
    Saeki-kun? He's over there.
[04:10] Komada
    Looks like we're leaving soon.
[04:13] Komada
    We should go.
[04:14] Haruka
    Hey, wait.
[04:16] Saeki
    Mori-san, are you all right?
[04:18] Kogoro
    Yes, thanks to you.
[04:21] Saeki
    That's good.
[04:22] Komada
    Senpai, I'm putting some bags in the car.
[04:25] Saeki
    Oh, thanks.
[04:27] Saeki
    I was just thinking about
    bringing the car around—
[04:29] Komada
    Professor?
[04:33] Komada
    Professor, are you all right?!
[04:38] Komada
    Damn! His phone's stuck!
[04:45] Haruka
    Wh-What should we do?
[04:47] Kogoro
    What happened?
[04:49] Haruka
    His phone was stuck.
[04:51] Haruka
    The strap was caught on his neck.
[04:55] Kogoro
    He's dead.
[04:57] Ran
    Did something happen?
[04:59] Kogoro
    Ran, call the police.
[05:01] Ran
    G-Got it.
[05:03] Kogoro
    Everyone else, please get out of the car.
[05:06] Kogoro
    Don't touch anything at the crime scene.
[05:18] Conan
    It's wet...
SIGN    Metropolitan Police Department
[05:30] Takagi
    So after you returned from shopping
    at this store you always stop at,
[05:36] Takagi
    Goto-san, who had been sleeping inside
    the car, slid down in his seat,
[05:40] Takagi
    causing his phone strap to strangle
    him, resulting in his death?
[05:44] Saeki
    Yes, that's right.
[05:45] Megure
    Komada-san, you were the last
    person to get out of the car.
[05:51] Komada
    Yes.
[05:52] Komada
    While getting out of the car, I thought
    the air inside was a little cold,
[05:57] Komada
    so I draped a blanket over the professor.
[06:00] Kogoro
    Did you notice anything then?
[06:03] Kogoro
    Anything out of the ordinary?
[06:07] Komada
    Come to think of it, I didn't recognize
    the air cushion the professor was using.
[06:13] Komada
    He said he'd hurt his back recently,
    so maybe he bought it for today.
[06:20] Megure
    Inoue-san, you returned to the
    car before entering the store.
[06:25] Haruka
    That's right. I forgot my phone,
    so I went to go get it.
[06:29] Haruka
    But the professor was asleep.
[06:31] Haruka
    He was snoring loudly.
[06:34] Haruka
    Not that I went inside and
    got a good look at him.
[06:38] Haruka
    Isn't that right, miss?
[06:40] Ran
    Yes.
[06:42] Kogoro
    What?
[06:43] Kogoro
    You were with her?
[06:45] Ran
    Yeah. I dropped my wallet inside the van,
[06:49] Ran
    so I followed Inoue-san.
[06:52] Ran
    My wallet was on the seat,
    so I left immediately,
[06:57] Ran
    but I did hear some loud snoring.
[07:00] Megure
    In other words, he fell
    from his seat after that.
[07:05] Megure
    Finally, Saeki-san, you went to
    the convenience store next door
[07:09] Megure
    to buy cigarettes after
    you finished shopping?
[07:12] Saeki
    Yeah, I'd just run out.
[07:14] Saeki
    I returned to the car after
    having a smoke over there.
[07:19] Conan
    We saw him smoking
    cigarettes. Right, Ran-neechan?
[07:23] Ran
    Yeah. From right around here,
    when we gave them our gift.
[07:28] Megure
    Come to think of it, did Goto-san
    always drink that much?
[07:32] Haruka
    Every time he'd be plastered
    by the time we arrived.
[07:35] Haruka
    He said he couldn't sleep unless he drank.
[07:39] Komada
    The professor took sleeping pills,
[07:42] Komada
    but he was a shallow sleeper.
[07:44] Kogoro
    Alcohol and sleeping pills, huh?
[07:47] Kogoro
    So that's why there aren't any signs of a
    struggle even though he was strangled.
[07:51] Megure
    Anyway, it seems strange to me
    that Goto-san's phone was found
[07:56] Megure
    open between the seat and headrest
    when the body was discovered.
[08:02] Kogoro
    Goto-san was probably making a call.
[08:05] Megure
    A call?
[08:06] Kogoro
    It's possible the drunk Goto-san
    tried to place a call,
[08:10] Kogoro
    but his hand slipped,
    and his phone ended up in that gap.
[08:17] Saeki
    Maybe it was that.
[08:20] Megure
    Do you know something about that?
[08:22] Saeki
    I got a call from the professor
    while I was shopping.
[08:27] Saeki
    I thought he wanted me to get something,
SIGN    Incoming Call Goto Shoji
[08:31] Saeki
    but he didn't answer, so I hung up.
SIGN    11/17 Goto Shoji
[08:35] Kogoro
    I knew it!
[08:39] Megure
    Takagi-kun, investigate Goto-san's
    call history immediately.
[08:43] Takagi
    Yes, sir.
[08:45] Haruka
    He got what was coming to him.
[08:47] Saeki
    Haruka, behave.
[08:50] Haruka
    Oh, Saeki-kun, but aren't you relieved?
[08:54] Haruka
    Now that the professor who refused
    to give you credits is gone,
[08:57] Haruka
    you'll get that job you were promised.
[09:01] Saeki
    That has nothing to do with this!
[09:03] Haruka
    And, Komada-kun, the professor was
    awfully verbally abusive towards you.
[09:07] Haruka
    How did you really feel about him?
[09:09] Komada
    N-No way in particular...
[09:10] Saeki
    Well, you complained that you wouldn't
    forgive the professor for sexually harassing you!
[09:15] Haruka
    That's right. That's why I feel relieved.
[09:18] Haruka
    You must feel the same way.
[09:20] Haruka
    Don't you remember what he
    said last time he was drunk?
[09:24] Goto
    Listen up.
[09:25] Goto
    You idiots should shut up and listen to me.
[09:30] Goto
    I can change your futures
    with a single word.
[09:35] Saeki
    Th-That was...
[09:37] Haruka
    Honestly, I couldn't take it anymore.
[09:39] Haruka
    In the first place, he...
[09:46] Kogoro
    It sounds like all three of them felt
    quite resentful towards the professor.
[09:50] Megure
    We'll need to investigate carefully.
[09:55] Takagi
    Inspector.
[09:56] Megure
    Ah, Takagi-kun. How did it go?
[09:58] Takagi
    We found a call placed to Saeki-san
    in Goto-san's phone history.
[10:04] Takagi
    We're certain it was during
    the time he was shopping.
[10:07] Megure
    I see.
[10:08] Megure
    Mori-kun, did anyone approach
    the car while you were here?
[10:13] Kogoro
    No. I was next to the car the
    whole time since I was waiting
[10:17] Kogoro
    for the roadside assistance,
    but I didn't see anyone.
[10:20] Megure
    If Goto-san died after placing the call,
[10:25] Megure
    and no one approached the car after that...
[10:29] Kogoro
    Then it must've been an accident.
[10:31] Conan
    Hey, don't you think it's strange?
[10:33] Takagi
    C-C-Conan-kun, you shouldn't be in there!
[10:36] Conan
    Oh, sorry.
[10:37] Conan
    I dropped something inside the car.
[10:41] Kogoro
    Sheesh. You're always
    barging into crime scenes.
[10:45] Takagi
    Uh, so, what's strange?
[10:48] Conan
    The air cushion Goto-san was using.
[10:52] Kogoro
    Huh?
[10:54] Kogoro
    What's so strange about this?
[10:58] Takagi
    They said he may have bought
    it because he hurt his back.
[11:02] Conan
    Yeah, but there's a hole in it
    even though it's brand new.
[11:07] Megure
    I was wondering about that, too.
[11:13] Megure
    I thought it had a hole because it was old.
[11:16] Conan
    And when I first looked at it,
[11:19] Conan
    the surface of the cushion
    was slightly damp.
[11:22] Conan
    There weren't any other
    wet spots on the seat.
[11:26] Conan
    Isn't that strange?
[11:28] Kogoro
    There's nothing strange about it.
[11:31] Kogoro
    It was damp because Goto-san
    spilled liquor on it.
[11:35] Kogoro
    And the cushion was defective, so
    a hole opened while he was asleep.
[11:39] Kogoro
    It made him lose his balance
    and fall from his seat.
[11:43] Kogoro
    Well?! You got a problem with that?!
[11:44] Megure
    Now, now, Mori-kun.
[11:46] Kogoro
    This was definitely an accident.
[11:48] Kogoro
    An accident!
[11:50] Conan
    No, he's wrong.
[11:51] Conan
    Using that, they could've made the
    victim fall, even from a distance.
[11:58] Conan
    But without any evidence, this
    will be treated as an accident.
[12:03] Conan
    Is there anything?
[12:05] Conan
    Anything that would definitively
    prove they did it?
[12:10] Conan
    What's that?
[12:12] Conan
    That's it!
[12:13] Conan
    Which means they must
    still have it on them...
[12:16] Conan
    The conclusive evidence the
    culprit used in their trick!
[12:28] Megure
    It's probably safe to assume
    there was no foul play.
[12:32] Kogoro
    Yes. They seem to have motives, but
    those three couldn't have killed him.
[12:38] Komada
    Excuse me.
[12:40] Komada
    How long do we have to wait?
[12:42] Haruka
    We'd like to leave now.
[12:45] Haruka
    We have people we need to call.
[12:48] Kogoro
    Don't worry.
[12:50] Kogoro
    After reviewing the crime scene,
    all uncertainties have been—
[13:01] Kogoro
    It's become clear to me that this is a
    murder made to look like an accident.
[13:10] Kogoro
    Goto-san didn't accidentally
    fall from his seat.
[13:13] Kogoro
    He was made to fall by the culprit.
[13:16] Megure
    Didn't you just say none of
    them could have killed him?
[13:22] Kogoro
    At first, that's what I believed, but
    after examining the inside of the car,
[13:26] Kogoro
    I realized the trick the culprit used.
[13:30] Komada
    H-Hold on.
[13:32] Komada
    You think one of us killed him?
[13:36] Saeki
    We were together the whole time.
[13:38] Saeki
    We couldn't have killed the professor,
    who was sleeping in the car.
[13:41] Kogoro
    It's not impossible.
[13:43] Kogoro
    All they needed to do was
    slip the phone with the strap
[13:47] Kogoro
    through the gap between the headrest
    and seat towards the back.
[13:53] Megure
    Even if that's true,
[13:54] Megure
    wasn't it a coincidence that
    Goto-san fell from his seat?
[13:58] Kogoro
    The culprit set up what you might call
    a timing device that caused Goto-san
[14:04] Kogoro
    to automatically fall from his seat
    even if no one else was present
[14:09] Kogoro
    using the rubber air cushion and dry ice.
[14:13] Kogoro
    Dry ice sublimates from a
    solid directly into a gas,
[14:17] Kogoro
    causing its volume to expand
    by a factor of 800.
[14:20] Kogoro
    The culprit packed said dry ice inside
    the air cushion and hid it on the seat.
[14:27] Kogoro
    As time passed, the cushion
    began to expand like a balloon
[14:31] Kogoro
    to a size large enough to cause
    Goto-san to fall from his seat.
[14:36] Kogoro
    The cushion was damp because the
    low temperature of the dry ice
[14:40] Kogoro
    cooled the moisture in the air,
[14:43] Kogoro
    causing it to condense on its surface.
[14:46] Kogoro
    The cushion continued to
    expand after Goto-san fell,
[14:50] Kogoro
    and once it could no longer
    contain the gas, it burst.
[14:54] Kogoro
    Naturally, they experimented many times to
    determine the exact amount they should use,
[15:01] Kogoro
    so it would all have turned to gas
    by the time the body was discovered.
[15:06] Megure
    That would certainly leave no evidence.
[15:08] Megure
    But isn't it difficult to transport dry ice?
[15:13] Kogoro
    That's why the culprit used a certain
    piece of outdoor equipment.
[15:19] Megure
    That's it! A cooler!
[15:21] Kogoro
    Yes.
[15:23] Kogoro
    Using a cooler allowed the culprit to
    preserve the dry ice until they needed it.
[15:28] Kogoro
    Isn't that right?
[15:30] Kogoro
    The individual with the cooler
    who used this trick...
[15:35] Kogoro
    Komada-san!
[15:38] Kogoro
    You created an excuse to remain in the
    car and passed the open phone with strap
[15:43] Kogoro
    through the gap beneath the
    headrest towards the back.
[15:48] Kogoro
    Then you draped a blanket over Goto-san's
    legs in order to hide the dry ice-filled cushion,
[15:56] Kogoro
    and went shopping as though
    nothing had happened.
[15:59] Kogoro
    I'm sure you calculated how
    large the cushion would expand,
[16:02] Kogoro
    and how long it would take to
    burst and bought one accordingly.
[16:06] Komada
    Wh-Why me?
[16:08] Komada
    Surely you don't think I did it just
    because I approached the professor.
[16:12] Komada
    And you said I passed the professor's phone
    though the gap and over the back of his seat.
[16:18] Komada
    Have you forgotten that the
    professor called Saeki-senpai?
[16:23] Komada
    If his phone were back there,
    he couldn't have called anyone.
[16:27] Kogoro
    I never said it was the professor's
    phone that was used.
[16:33] Komada
    Huh? What are you—
[16:35] Kogoro
    I'm saying you're the one
    who called Saeki-san.
[16:39] Kogoro
    You swapped out your phone for Goto-san's
    and used it to fabricate your alibi.
[16:46] Kogoro
    In other words, the phone attached to the
    strap that strangled Goto-san was yours.
[16:55] Kogoro
    That's why you behaved strangely.
[16:59] Koogoro
    Conan told me that when you saw
    Saeki-san return to the van,
[17:04] Koogoro
    you returned to the car while carrying
    heavy bags full of groceries.
[17:13] Komada
    Looks like we're leaving soon.
[17:16] Komada
    We should go.
[17:17] Haruka
    Hey, wait.
[17:19] Komada
    Senpai, I'm putting some bags in the car.
[17:21] Saeki
    Oh, thanks.
[17:23] Saeki
    I was just thinking about
    bringing the car around—
[17:25] Komada
    Professor?
[17:29] Kogoro
    Inoue-san, you were with him.
[17:33] Kogoro
    Didn't you wonder why he didn't
    have Saeki-san bring the car
[17:35] Kogoro
    in front of the store instead
    of carrying so many heavy bags?
[17:39] Haruka
    Well, yes.
[17:41] Kogoro
    But, Komada-san, you went out
    of your way to carry the bags.
[17:46] Kogoro
    Why is that?
[17:49] Kogoro
    There's one reason you returned.
[17:51] Kogoro
    It's because you needed to discover
    Goto-san's body with someone else,
[17:54] Kogoro
    approach the body first,
[17:56] Kogoro
    and swap out your phone, which
    you used for the murder,
[18:01] Kogoro
    for Goto-san's, which you used
    to fabricate your alibi.
[18:06] Kogoro
    As the only other person with
    a flip phone like Goto-san's,
[18:10] Kogoro
    only you could've used this trick.
[18:13] Kogoro
    If you wanted to save Goto-san,
[18:15] Kogoro
    you simply needed to pass the
    stuck phone through the gap.
[18:19] Kogoro
    I knew something was off when you
    deliberately removed the phone from the strap.
[18:24] Kogoro
    You probably planned to reattach it,
[18:28] Kogoro
    but you gave up on the idea when Conan and
    I entered the car unexpectedly quickly.
[18:36] Komada
    You're making this all up!
[18:38] Komada
    Even if it was dry ice, there's
    no evidence it was used!
[18:42] Komada
    If I'm the culprit, show me the evidence!
[18:46] Kogoro
    I could say the same thing.
[18:49] Komada
    What?
[18:50] Kogoro
    Detective Takagi, how did it go?
[18:53] Takagi
    I didn't find the damage you
    described on Goto-san's phone.
[18:58] Megure
    Huh? Damage?
[19:01] Megure
    And aren't these pieces of plastic?
[19:06] Kogoro
    Yes, they were stuck to the blanket.
[19:09] Kogoro
    When Goto-san fell, the
    phone dangling over the back
[19:14] Kogoro
    struck a metal piece of the seat.
[19:17] Kogoro
    The shock sent those pieces
    of plastic flying.
[19:21] Kogoro
    Komada-san, using an old
    phone came back to bite you.
[19:32] Kogoro
    As we just heard in
    Detective Takagi's report,
[19:36] Kogoro
    Goto-san's phone was not damaged.
[19:41] Kogoro
    Which means a different phone
    was used in the crime.
[19:45] Kogoro
    You have that phone on you right now.
[19:48] Kogoro
    One with dents that should
    match those pieces of plastic.
[19:53] Komada
    Damn it!
[20:03] Saeki
    Komada, why would you do this?
[20:06] Komada
    Why?
[20:09] Komada
    You probably had no idea.
[20:12] Komada
    The professor's paper that won the award...
[20:15] Komada
    It was originally my thesis.
[20:17] Komada
    The professor stole my research topic.
[20:21] Haruka
    What? Is that true?
[20:23] Komada
    Naturally, the professor threatened me.
[20:26] Komada
    He told me to keep my mouth shut if I wanted
    to keep doing research at the university.
[20:32] Saeki
    You should've told someone.
[20:35] Komada
    I had a dream!
[20:37] Komada
    Since I was a child, I dreamed
    of becoming a researcher!
[20:41] Komada
    But... But that man...
[20:44] Komada
    Professor, this isn't what you promised!
[20:47] Komada
    Why can't I go to grad school?
[20:51] Gotoo
    Don't worry.
[20:52] Gotoo
    I'll help you get a job at some company.
[20:56] Komada
    A-A job?
[20:58] Komada
    Even if I can't stay here, can't I at
    least go to a lab at another university?
[21:03] Goto
    Have you forgotten?
[21:04] Goto
    I have a lot of influence in this world.
[21:07] Goto
    I can change your future with a word.
[21:12] Goto
    You were never meant for research.
[21:15] Goto
    That's all.
[21:18] Goto
    It really is a shame.
[21:24] Komada
    I ignored my research to repeatedly
    experiment and perfect this method.
[21:30] Komada
    I was pretty confident it would work.
[21:34] Komada
    But I messed it up in the end.
[21:36] Komada
    I guess I wasn't a good enough
    researcher after all.
[23:03] Ran
    If you didn't know where we were going,
    you should've followed the police.
[23:09] Kogoro
    We came this way on the way here.
[23:12] Kogoro
    I'm not doing something as pathetic
    as asking the police for help.
[23:17] Ran
    But we're lost now.
[23:19] Ran
    We even have a GPS! How
    does this even happen?
[23:22] Kogoro
    Because it's giving we weird directions.
[23:25] Kogoro
    Hey, look at that.
[23:27] Kogoro
    We made it out.
[23:29] Kogoro
    I knew my instincts were right.
[23:33] Ran
    Huh?
[23:34] Ran
    Weren't we just here?
[23:37] Conan
    We won't be getting home for a while...
