[00:01] Ogami
    "I saw the Oninohamura Village website."
[00:05] Ogami
    "An article on there
    says a moon's droppings
[00:09] Ogami
    was found at the Oninohamura
    Village Museum excavation site."
[00:12] Ogami
    "Based on my research,
[00:14] Ogami
    the fossil was found in a layer
    of earth 130 million years old."
[00:19] Ogami
    "There's no precedent of moon's droppings
[00:23] Ogami
    being discovered in earth from that era."
[00:26] Ogami
    "I was hoping I could visit you and
    have an in-depth conversation."
[00:30] Ogami
    Wait, she totally doubts us!
[00:34] Nakatani
    Yeah. So, what are we going to do?
[00:37] Nakatani
    At this rate, someone might discover
    we lied about the fossil's origins.
[00:42] Ogami
    There you go again.
[00:44] Ogami
    You can handle a reporter or two.
[00:48] Ogami
    Right, Mr. Politician?
[00:50] Nakatani
    Don't be ridiculous!
    I'm not that influential!
[00:53] Nakatani
    I'm just a town mayor!
[00:54] Ogami
    What? Seriously?!
[00:56] Ogami
    Why do you think I'm working with you?
[00:59] Ogami
    It's so you can do something about this!
[01:04] Ogami
    Just solve it with money, then.
[01:08] Ogami
    You may not be influential,
    but you've got money.
[01:10] Nakatani
    But...
[01:12] Ogami
    You'll pay, won't you?
[01:14] Ogami
    After all, your political
    career depends on it.
[01:26] Ogami
    Useless.
[01:41] Conan
    In my eyes are maximum creation!
[01:42] Conan
    My detective skills are tomorrow's reaction!
[01:44] Conan
    A suspicious duo have a
    suspicious conversation!
[01:46] Conan
    A rare fossil leads to a case!
[01:48] Conan
    Always determining the one truth
[01:50] Conan
    with the body of a child
    and the mind of an adult,

SIGN    Lodge & Fossil Museum
[03:55] Ayumi
    I had no idea ammonites were so pretty.
[03:57] Mitsuhiko
    I thought fossils looked more like rocks.
[04:01] Agasa
    Well, your typical fossil
    is much more plain-looking.
[04:04] Genta
    Then why's this one so sparkly?
[04:08] Conan
    Because it's made differently.
[04:10] Conan
    Typically fossils are made when the matter
[04:13] Conan
    that comprises bones and shells
    is replaced with minerals.
[04:16] Haibara
    That sparkly one is sparkly
[04:17] Haibara
    because it was replaced
    with a gemstone like opal.
[04:23] Ogami
    You kids sure are knowledgeable.
[04:27] Conan
    You've got a lot of rare fossils.
[04:30] Ogami
    You've got a keen eye.

[04:32] Ogami
    They were purchased overseas.
[04:34] Ogami
    I'm proud of my collection.
[04:36] Agasa
    I see. From overseas, huh?
[04:39] Ogami
    It's just my hobby.
[04:41] Ogami
    I'll be going to America
    to buy more next month.

    I see. Arizona, huh?
[04:53] Conan
    You must really love fossils.
[04:55] Ogami
    Yeah.
[04:56] Ogami
    Just looking at beautiful
    fossils makes me happy.
[05:03] Ogami
    Hello?
[05:05] Ogami
    Yes.
[05:06] Ogami
    Oh, you've arrived. I'll be right there.
[05:13] Ogami
    Thank you for waiting.
[05:15] Ogami
    I'm fossil museum owner, Ogami.

[05:18] Umika
    I'm freelance journalist Miyashita.
[05:20] Umika
    Thanks for having me today.
[05:23] Ogami
    Shall we get started?
[05:24] Nakatani
    Hello, hello! Thank you for
    making the trip out here.
SIGN    Nakatani Sogen (54)
[05:28] Nakatani
    I'm Nakatani, the town mayor.
[05:30] Nakatani
    Let's do the interview after the tour.
[05:36] Ogami
    Please wait inside.
[05:38] Umika
    All right.
[05:42] Nakatani
    Ogami!
[05:44] Nakatani
    Like you said, I've decided to
    settle the matter with money.
[05:48] Ogami
    Good.
[05:49] Ogami
    I knew I could count on you, Mr. Mayor.
[05:51] Nakatani
    So you don't need to worry about anything.
[05:58] Ogami
    Sheesh.
[06:02] Genta
    A journalist? Did you come
    to write a story on us?
[06:06] Mitsuhiko
    Of course not.
[06:08] Mitsuhiko
    They must've found some kind of rare fossil.
[06:11] Agasa
    Come to think of it, I saw a story
    about that on the village's website.
[06:15] Umika
    That's right. I came here
    because I saw the same story.
[06:20] Umika
    See?
SIGN    Moon's Droppings found at Oninohamura Village, Gunma Prefecture!
[06:21] Umika
    It says they found a moon's droppings.
[06:24] Genta
    What's a moon's droppings?
[06:26] Umika
    It's when the inside of a
    conch shell becomes a jewel.
[06:29] Umika
    Does that make sense?
[06:31] Umika
    It's a very valuable type of fossil.
[06:33] Conan
    And they found that at
    the excavation site here?
[06:36] Umika
    That's right.
[06:38] Umika
    Look.
[06:40] Genta
    It looks like a turd!
[06:42] Umika
    That's right. Droppings means poop.
[06:45] All
    What?!
[06:48] Umika
    Maybe ancient people thought the rabbit
    in the moon had pooped on them.
[06:53] Haibara
    But I don't see it on display anywhere.
[06:56] Nakatani
    We're thinking of making
    it the village's symbol.
[06:59] Nakatani
    It's on display at the town hall.
[07:03] Genta
    Their symbol is poop.
[07:05] Mitsuhiko
    Genta-kun, that's rude.
[07:07] Umika
    I hope it doesn't become a negative symbol.
[07:11] Ogami
    Everyone, we're ready to begin the tour.
[07:16] Nakatani
    Go ahead.
[07:24] Umika
    Ogami-san, could I take a look at the site
    where the moon's droppings was found later?
[07:29] Ogami
    Yes, of course.
[07:31] Ogami
    There's actually something
    I'd like to tell you.
[07:35] Umika
    Very well.
[07:44] Genta
    All right! Let's find an ammonite!
[07:48] Conan
    Genta, you're not going to find an ammonite.
[07:50] Genta
    What? Why not?
[07:52] Mitsuhiko
    We could make a major discovery.
[07:55] Haibara
    Different types of fossils are
    found in different layers of earth.
[07:58] Haibara
    All you'll find here are
    clam or oyster fossils.
[08:03] Mitsuhiko
    Clams, huh?
[08:05] Genta
    I had some in my miso soup this morning.
[08:08] Haibara
    But apparently they've found ornithomimus
    dinosaur bones and footprints before.
[08:14] Genta
    Seriously?
[08:15] Ayumi
    I wanna find a dinosaur.
[08:17] Mitsuhiko
    Let's do our best.
[08:18] All
    Yeah!
[08:36] Nakatani
    I don't see any fossils in there.
[08:39] Mitsuhiko
    They're quite difficult to find...
[08:42] Ayumi
    Maybe there aren't any here.
[08:45] Genta
    I didn't find any again.
[08:48] Conan
    Genta, what if you hit someone?
[08:51] Genta
    Sorry.
[08:53] Ogami
    This is a fossil.
[08:55] Conan
    What?
[08:56] Ogami
    Look here. The color's darker.
[09:00] Ogami
    This is a clam fossil.
[09:02] Genta
    It's tiny.
[09:03] Mitsuhiko
    It's so plain.
[09:06] Ogami
    It's not easy to find big ones.
[09:09] Ogami
    The only shortcut to finding
    good fossils is to dig a lot.
[09:15] Genta
    All right! Let's dig, dig, dig!
[09:20] Ogami
    That's the spirit.
[09:21] Ogami
    As long as you dig with passion,
    the fossils will find you.
[09:25] All
    All right!
[09:31] Nakatani
    Fossils sure are complicated.
[09:33] Nakatani
    I don't understand them at all.
[09:35] Umika
    But I thought you were sponsoring
    the moon's droppings PR program.
[09:39] Nakatani
    I've left most of it up to Ogami-kun.
[09:42] Nakatani
    All I do is sign off on it.
[09:51] Ogami
    Do you have a minute?
[09:53] Umika
    Yes.
[09:55] Ogami
    I've been wondering whether
    or not I should tell you.
[09:58] Nakatani
    Ogami-kun!
[10:00] Nakatani
    Do you have a minute?
[10:02] Ogami
    Sure!
[10:03] Ogami
    Excuse me. We'll talk later.
[10:12] Ayumi
    Ai-chan, want to go to the bathroom?
[10:15] Haibara
    Sure.
[10:23] Ayumi
    Someone's inside.
[10:28] Haibara
    Are you all right?!
[10:31] Haibara
    This smell...
[10:32] Haibara
    Yoshida-san, stand back!
[10:50] Conan
    Ayumi-chan, what's wrong?
[10:53] Ayumi
    I-In the bathroom...
[10:57] Conan
    Ogami-san!
[11:00] Conan
    This smell...
SIGN    Yamamura Misao
    Gunma Prefecture
    Police Inspector Division 1
[11:21] Yamamura
    I see, I see.
[11:24] Yamamura
    The victim was Oninohamura Village lodge
    & fossil museum owner Ogami Akira-san.
[11:30] Yamamura
    And the cause of death was cyanide poisoning.
[11:36] Nakatani
    I-Is that right?
[11:38] Yamamura
    The victim didn't eat or drink anything
    during the fossil excavation tour.
[11:45] Yamamura
    Which means someone poisoned
    the bathroom beforehand
[11:50] Yamamura
    and made the victim touch it.
[11:54] Nakatani
    D-Do you think we did it?
[11:58] Umika
    We'd never do that.
[12:00] Nakatani
    That's right. Besides, why would
    someone choose to kill him like that?
[12:04] Nakatani
    These children could have been harmed.
[12:08] Yamamura
    What? Oh, uh, you're right.
[12:15] Yamamura
    W-Well, if it isn't Conan-kun.
[12:17] Yamamura
    Does that mean Mori-san's here, too?
[12:22] Agasa
    Mori-kun isn't here today.
[12:24] Yamamura
    Oh, it's you, Agasa-san.
[12:26] Yamamura
    You sure do get caught up
    in a lot of cases, too.
[12:31] Nakatani
    Excuse me, but I don't think
    this is a criminal case.
[12:34] Yamamura
    What? Who are you?
[12:36] Nakatani
    Nakatani the mayor.
[12:37] Yamamura
    What? You're the mayor?
[12:40] Yamamura
    Please excuse me.
[12:42] Nakatani
    Ogami-kun seemed worried about
    something for a few days now.
[12:46] Yamamura
    I see. He was worried.
[12:48] Nakatani
    Yes. He said he couldn't
    sleep and wanted to die.
[12:53] Yamamura
    Why?
[12:54] Nakatani
    I'm not sure.
[12:56] Umika
    Maybe it was because of the moon's droppings.
[13:01] Both
    What?
[13:02] Yamamura
    What's a moon's droppings?
[13:04] Umika
    It's an ancient fossil of a shell.
[13:07] Yamamura
    I-I see...
[13:08] Umika
    The truth is, I came to expose that
    that fossil's origins were faked.
[13:13] Yamamura
    Th-They were faked?
[13:15] Umika
    Yes.
[13:16] Umika
    I believe the moon's droppings were
    found at a different excavation site.
[13:21] Yamamura
    So Ogami-san killed himself because
    he thought he'd be discovered?
[13:25] Umika
    Yes.
[13:26] Umika
    He said there was something
    he wanted to confess to me.
[13:29] Umika
    Perhaps he couldn't bear
    the guilt any longer.
[13:33] Nakatani
    U-Unbelievable.
[13:35] Umika
    Nakatani-san knows barely
    anything about fossils.
[13:38] Umika
    He couldn't help that he didn't notice.
[13:41] Nakatani
    But my village renewal
    plan is already in motion.
[13:47] Yamamura
    Well, this looks like a suicide.
[13:51] Yamamura
    Darn.
[13:52] Yamamura
    I thought I'd finally get to
    gloriously solve a case again.
[13:58] Conan
    But Ogami-san was excited
    for his trip next month.
[14:03] Yamamura
    What trip?
[14:05] Conan
    He said he was planning to go to America.
[14:08] Conan
    There was a plane ticket on his desk.
[14:11] Conan
    Would someone considering
    suicide buy plane tickets?
[14:16] Yamamura
    Maybe he felt like dying after
    he made his reservation.
[14:20] Agasa
    It's not too late to decide that until after
    we determine if there's poison present or not.
[14:25] Agasa
    We haven't searched everyone yet, either.
[14:34] Yamamura
    See?
[14:35] Yamamura
    We didn't find any poison anywhere.
[14:39] Agasa
    Really?
[14:41] Police
    Yes.
[14:41] Police
    We didn't find anything on places the
    victim was likely to have touched.
[14:44] Police
    We found lots of fingerprints, though.
[14:47] Yamamura
    So it was a suicide, then.
[14:50] Police
    Excuse me, but there's
    something I forgot to report.
[14:53] Yamamura
    Huh?
[14:54] Police
    We didn't find poison on the
    victim's sanitary wipes,
[14:57] Police
    but they are slightly
    more acidic than normal.
[15:03] Yamamura
    Acidic?
[15:04] Police
    Yes.
[15:05] Yamamura
    More than normal?
[15:06] Police
    Yes.
[15:07] Yamamura
    It's obviously unrelated.
[15:10] Yamamura
    Didn't I say we're looking
    for a cyanide compound?
[15:13] Yamamura
    Okay, everyone. Shall we
    search the lodge next?
[15:17] Conan
    That mayor is definitely the culprit.
[15:21] Agasa
    Really?
[15:22] Conan
    But there's no proof.
[15:25] Genta
    Why are they all dead?
[15:28] Conan
    What are you guys doing?
[15:30] Genta
    Look. There's lots of dead bugs.
[15:33] Ayumi
    Poor bugs.
[15:34] Mitsuhiko
    Let's dig a grave for them.
[15:37] Conan
    Wait!
[15:37] All
    What?
[15:43] Conan
    Could it be?
[15:45] Conan
    Don't touch those.
[15:47] Genta
    What's wrong, Conan?
[15:49] Mitsuhiko
    Did you figure something out?
[15:51] Conan
    Yeah, thanks to the Detective Boys.
[16:01] Yamamura
    Since we didn't find any
    signs of poison at the lodge,
[16:05] Yamamura
    this must've been a suicide.
[16:06] Agasa
    It wasn't a suicide.
[16:09] Agasa
    It's a murder.
[16:12] Agasa
    I finally figured out how the
    culprit killed Ogami-san.
[16:18] Yamamura
    But, Agasa-san, we didn't
    find poison anywhere.
[16:21] Yamamura
    How did they kill him?
[16:25] Yamamura
    It's hard to believe the victim
    would've drunk the poison himself.
[16:29] Agasa
    Ogami-san didn't drink the poison.
[16:34] Both
    What?
[16:35] Yamamura
    Wh-What are you talking about?
[16:37] Yamamura
    The victim clearly died of poisoning.
[16:41] Agasa
    Yes, but aren't there methods of taking in
    poisons besides swallowing or licking them?
[16:52] Conan
    You still can't figure it out?
[16:54] Umika
    That's it. The victim inhaled the poison.
[16:58] Agasa
    That's right.
[17:00] Yamamura
    Inhaled it? But how?
[17:02] Agasa
    People say cyanide compounds
    kill when they're swallowed,
[17:06] Agasa
    but actually, the compound
    itself is not poisonous.
[17:10] Agasa
    However, once it enters your body,
[17:13] Agasa
    it reacts with your stomach
    acid, creating a poisonous gas.
[17:17] Umika
    That's why people say swallowing
    cyanide compounds kill you.
[17:21] Agasa
    Yes.
[17:23] Yamamura
    What does that mean?
[17:25] Agasa
    In other words,
[17:29] Agasa
    adding acid to a cyanide compound
    creates a poisonous gas.
[17:32] Yamamura
    Adding acid?
[17:35] Agasa
    That's right.
[17:36] Agasa
    The culprit probably dissolved the
    cyanide compound in the toilet bowl.
[17:42] Agasa
    Once the acid is added, the
    poisonous gas would be released.
[17:46] Yamamura
    Come to think of it, there was
    hydrochloric acid at the lodge.
[17:50] Yamamura
    I heard it's used to clean fossils.
[17:53] Agasa
    No, that's not what they used.
[17:56] Agasa
    Adding hydrochloric acid would
    produce a poisonous gas immediately.
[18:01] Yamamura
    They could close the lid.
[18:03] Agasa
    Wouldn't that run the risk of killing
[18:06] Agasa
    whoever used the bathroom before Ogami-san?
[18:09] Yamaura
    Oh.
[18:10] Yamamura
    You're right. Then how did they do it?
[18:14] Agasa
    The acid was added not by the
    culprit, but by Ogami-san himself.
[18:18] Yamamura
    What?
[18:20] Conan
    When he wiped his hands with
    a sanitary wipe and tossed it.
[18:25] Umika
    Into the toilet bowl?
[18:27] Agasa
    Yes.
[18:28] Agasa
    Forensics said the sheet was
    slightly more acidic than normal.
[18:35] Agasa
    The culprit added the diluted hydrochloric
    acid to the sanitary wipes.
[18:40] Umika
    The cyanide compound in the toilet bowl
[18:43] Umika
    reacted with the acid in the sanitary
    wipes and created a poisonous gas.
[18:47] Agasa
    With this method, even if someone
    entered the bathroom before him,
[18:50] Agasa
    the cyanide compound would
    be harmlessly flushed away.
[18:56] Agasa
    The culprit most likely
    told Ogami-san they hid
[19:02] Agasa
    something valuable in the
    bathroom so he'd search it.
[19:07] Agasa
    The clean-freak Ogami-san
    used the sanitary wipes
[19:12] Agasa
    to wipe his hands and threw it in the toilet.
[19:15] Agasa
    The poisonous gas was
    formed, and Ogami-san died.
[19:21] Yamamura
    So? Who did it?
[19:24] Agasa
    The only one who knew
    Ogami-san was a clean-freak
[19:28] Agasa
    who carried sanitary wipes with him.
[19:31] Agasa
    Nakatani-san, you're the only one.
[19:36] Nakatani
    W-Wait a minute. That's just your theory.
[19:40] Nakatani
    What about evidence?
[19:42] Nakatani
    Do you have any proof that
    Ogami inhaled a poisonous gas?
[19:46] Agasa
    There is. There's one
    piece of solid evidence.
[19:53] Yamamura
    Wh-What is this?
[19:55] Nakatani
    They're just dead bugs.
[19:58] Nakatani
    What's so important about these?
[20:00] Forensics
    We examined them at Agasa-san's request.
[20:03] Forensics
    Like the victim, these bugs
    were poisoned with cyanide.
[20:09] All
    What?
[20:10] Conan
    Look.
[20:11] Conan
    This spot is right beneath the bathroom fan.
[20:16] Agasa
    The bugs gathered around the fan
    must have inhaled the poisonous gas.
[20:21] Nakatani
    No...
[20:22] Agasa
    Fearing the poisonous gas would
    remain inside the bathroom,
[20:25] Agasa
    you must have left the
    fan on, but it backfired.
[20:31] Nakatani
    Damn these insects!
[20:33] Nakatani
    Damn them, damn them!
[20:35] Yamamura
    Hey, wait. What are you doing?
[20:38] Nakatani
    These insects ruined my plan!
[20:41] Yamamura
    You mean you killed Ogami-san?
[20:43] Nakatani
    That's right. I killed Ogami.
[20:46] Yamamura
    You're the one who lied about the moon's
    droppings coming from this village, too.
[20:51] Conan
    No, they were accomplices.
[20:54] Yamamura
    What?
[20:54] Umika
    Accomplices?
[20:56] Nakatani
    That's right.
[20:57] Nakatani
    We came up with the idea together,
    but he tried to place all the blame on me.
[21:01] Nakatani
    So I told him I had a tape of evidence
    and told him to come to the bathroom.
[21:06] Umika
    But you didn't have to kill him.
[21:08] Nakatani
    If I didn't kill him, my political
    career would've been over.
[21:12] Nakatani
    There are so many things I still have to do.
[21:19] Yamamura
    What an awful mayor.
[21:22] Yamamura
    There's only one thing you should be doing.
[21:27] Yamamura
    The only thing you should be doing is
    showing remorse and atoning for your crimes!
[23:10] Ayumi
    Look. I found an oyster fossil.
[23:14] Mitsuhiko
    I only found clams.
[23:17] Agasa
    What's going to happen to the fossil museum?
[23:19] Umika
    I'll try working to keep it open.
[23:22] Genta
    This is all I found.
[23:25] Mitsuhiko
    What is that?
[23:26] Ayumi
    It's gross.
[23:27] Genta
    Right? This worthless thing...
[23:30] Umika
    Hey, wait. Isn't that dinosaur poop?
[23:33] All
    What?!
[23:35] Conan
    If that's true, that's a
    major discovery, Genta.
[23:38] Genta
    Seriously? I guess I'm lucky.
[23:42] Conan
    Yeah, lucky.
