**[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,
**[01:51] Conan**
his name is Detective Conan!

***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.
***SIGN*** Ogami Akira (38)
Fossil Museum Owner
**[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.
**[04:45] Ogami**
The world's largest mineral fair
is held in Tucson, Arizona.
***SIGN*** Closed

**[04:50] Agasa**
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.
***SIGN*** Miyashita Umika (27)
Journalist
**[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.*
