[00:11] Megure
    So there was nothing left behind that
    would help us identify the culprit.
[00:16] Kogoro
    Their motive was probably a grudge.
[00:19] Kogoro
    They hit him once in the
    head with a metal pipe.
[00:22] Megure
    You again, Mori-kun?
[00:25] Kogoro
    I just happened to be passing by,
    and it seemed like there was a case.
[00:29] Kogoro
    And this kid insisted we take a look.
[00:34] Kogoro
    Anyway, are they the victim's
    surviving family members?
[00:39] Megure
    Yeah.
[00:40] Megure
    We had them come to confirm
    the identity of the body.
[00:44] Megure
    His mother Kadowaki Yasuko-san,
SIGN    Kadowaki Yasuko (63)
    Former Grade School Teacher
[00:47] Megure
    and his older brother Kadowaki Yuichi-san.
SIGN    Kadowaki Yuichi (28)
    Eldest Kadowaki Son
    Government Office Employee
[00:52] Yuichi
    Mom, keep it together.
[00:54] Megure
    The father died five years ago.
[00:58] Megure
    The three of them were living together.
[01:03] Conan
    Right now at this moment,
    light pierces the darkness!
[01:05] Conan
    Overcome all limits with
    your cool reasoning skills!
[01:07] Conan
    A chance encounter with
    yet another assault case!
[01:09] Conan
    The surprising true face
    of a troubled family!
[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 Mystery-Solving Water Taxi
    (Part One)
[02:59] Conan
    "The Mystery-Solving Water Taxi, Part One!"
[03:06] Megure
    The victim was Kadowaki Eiji-san, twenty-three
    years old, who lives down the way.
SIGN    Kadowaki Eiji (23)
    Kadowaki Second Son
    Unemployed
[03:11] Megure
    He was killed last night around ten.
[03:15] Megure
    According to his mother,
[03:17] Megure
    the victim went out to
    drink yesterday evening.
[03:21] Megure
    He was probably attacked on his way home.
[03:26] Kogoro
    So unaware of what happened,
[03:28] Kogoro
    his family was waiting for
    the victim to return home.
[03:32] Megure
    No.
[03:34] Megure
    Last night, his older brother Yuichi-san
    was staying at a hotel in the city
[03:37] Megure
    to work on some documents.
[03:40] Megure
    Apparently he works as an
    official in Kasumigaseki.
[03:43] Kogoro
    For the Chuo government office, huh?
[03:46] Conan
    So he's an elite.
[03:48] Takagi
    Inspector Megure! Oh, Mori-san and Conan-kun.
[03:52] Megure
    Well? How did it go?
[03:54] Takagi
    Right.
[03:55] Takagi
    The victim Kadowaki Eiji-san didn't have a
    very good reputation in the neighborhood.
[04:02] Takagi
    Since he dropped out of
    college three years ago,
[04:04] Takagi
    he hasn't been able to hold down
    a job and wanders the area.
[04:08] Takagi
    Last Friday, he got drunk and
    argued with a bar employee.
[04:15] Takagi
    He spent the night in jail.
[04:19] Chiba
    We also found two interesting
    pieces of information.
[04:22] Megure
    Which are?
[04:24] Takagi
    The first is passers-by reported
    that several days ago,
[04:26] Takagi
    a well-built man in his thirties appeared
    to be watching the Kadowaki family,
[04:32] Takagi
    as though investigating them.
[04:34] Takagi
    He was also questioning the neighbors
    about the Kadowaki family.
[04:40] Megure
    Considering the victim's reputation...
[04:44] Takagi
    It's possible he had some trouble
    with that man and incurred his wrath.
[04:49] Megure
    Got it.
[04:51] Megure
    Keep trying to figure out who that man is.
[04:54] Takagi
    Yes, sir.
[04:56] Megure
    What's the other piece of information?
[04:59] Chiba
    Yes, sir.
[05:00] Chiba
    According to the neighbors, it
    seems the victim Kadowaki Eiji-san
[05:05] Chiba
    was abusing his mother Yasuko-san daily.
[05:09] Megure
    What?
[05:11] Chiba
    Furthermore, the older brother Yuichi-san
[05:15] Chiba
    would always stop his brother's
    explosive violence.
[05:20] Megure
    I see.
[05:21] Megure
    So the victim was the problem
    child of the Kadowaki family.
[05:26] Conan
    Yeah, but...
[05:28] Conan
    That woman seems genuinely sad.
[05:34] Kogoro
    They say the worse a child is,
    the more you love them.
[05:37] Chiba
    Indeed.
[05:38] Megure
    But if that's the case,
[05:41] Megure
    we'll have to question
    the older brother again.
[05:51] Yasuko
    N-No!
[05:53] Yasuko
    There's no domestic violence in our family!
[05:56] Yuichi
    That's just an irresponsible rumor!
[05:59] Yuichi
    Besides, what does that have
    to do with Eiji's murder?
[06:10] Megure
    Kadowaki Yuichi-san,
[06:12] Megure
    I'm sorry, but could we
    talk to you at the station?
[06:18] Yuichi
    Y-You think I killed Eiji?
[06:23] Yasuko
    N-No! Yuichi would never do that!
[06:28] Yuichi
    Didn't I just tell you?
[06:30] Yuichi
    I was working all last night!
[06:32] Chiba
    Please calm down, Kadowaki-san.
[06:35] Yuichi
    I know. Around ten, I ran
    into a woman at the hotel.
[06:40] Yuichi
    She was extremely drunk.
[06:43] Yuichi
    In any case, find her.
    Then this will all become clear.
[06:49] Yasuko
    No. Yuichi would never...
SIGN    MPD Beika Police Station
[06:59] Yuichi
    Are you listening?
[07:00] Yuichi
    I would never do something
    as stupid as kill a person!
[07:04] Megure
    I see. So, what about
    Eiji-san's domestic violence?
[07:10] Yuichi
    It's not true.
[07:12] Megure
    Your father died five years ago, didn't he?
[07:16] Yuichi
    What about it?
[07:18] Megure
    According to your neighbors, your mother
    has been frequently injured since then.
[07:25] Yuichi
    It's a coincidence.
[07:27] Megure
    And two years later, Eiji-san
    dropped out of college.
[07:31] Megure
    You managed to protect your mother until then,
    but after that, you couldn't handle it anymore.
[07:37] Yuichi
    This is nonsense.
[07:39] Megure
    Furthermore, you've been
    busy with work lately,
[07:42] Megure
    so you've been out of the house a lot.
[07:46] Megure
    And around that same time, your mother's
    injuries became more frequent.
[07:52] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[07:54] Megure
    If you didn't do something about Eiji,
[07:57] Megure
    he might do something
    that couldn't be undone.
[08:02] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:04] Megure
    So in order to protect your mother...
[08:07] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:08] Megure
    You had no choice.
[08:10] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:11] Megure
    But...
[08:12] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:14] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:15] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:17] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:19] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:21] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:21] Kogoro
    He's become totally stubborn.
[08:22] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:24] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:26] Yuichi
    I didn't do it.
[08:27] Megure
    Come in.
[08:29] Chiba
    Inspector Megure, a moment.
[08:31] Megure
    What is it?
[08:33] Chiba
    Well, actually...
[08:35] Chiba
    We went to canvas the hotel
    Yuichi-san was staying at.
[08:40] Megure
    What? You found her?
[08:43] Chiba
    Yes. She's still staying at the hotel.
SIGN    Beika Business Hotel
[08:47] Chiba
    According to her...
[08:56] Yuichi
    Ow.
[08:58] Woman
    Excuse me.
[08:59] Yuichi
    It's all right. I wasn't
    looking where I was going.
[09:03] Woman
    Um, here.
[09:05] Chiba
    The time displayed on the phone she
    picked up was approximately ten.
[09:10] Chiba
    Additionally, the hotel employee who
    happened to pass by witnessed the scene.
[09:17] Megure
    So he has multiple people
    backing up his alibi.
[09:19] Chiba
    Yes, sir.
[09:22] Yuichi
    So I can leave now, right?
    My alibi has been verified.
[09:28] Megure
    I'm terribly sorry.
[09:30] Chiba
    We'll give you a ride home.
[09:32] Yuichi
    No, thank you. More importantly...
[09:34] Yuichi
    I'll never forget the humiliation I suffered
    while being treated like a murder suspect.
[09:41] Yuichi
    Clear the way, please.
[09:43] Chiba
    Of course.
[09:48] Chiba
    We came up empty.
[09:49] Megure
    Yeah, but it's for the best.
[09:52] Kogoro
    Indeed.
[09:54] Kogoro
    It would be tragic if one brother killed
    the other out of concern for his mother.
[10:00] Kogoro
    Anyway, if we were wrong about him...
[10:03] Megure
    Yeah. It's the guy Takagi is after.
[10:06] Megure
    Chiba, get in touch with Takagi.
[10:09] Chiba
    Yes, sir.
[10:10] Conan
    The well-built man in his thirties.
[10:17] Woman
    This guy.
[10:18] Man
    Yeah. This is the guy.
[10:21] Woman
    It's definitely him.
[10:23] Woman
    He was asking around about Eiji-san.
[10:26] Takagi
    Excuse me, but could I borrow this video?
[10:30] Man
    Sure. I'll get it ready for you.
[10:34] Takagi
    Thank you.
[10:37] Takagi
    Hello? Oh, Chiba.
[10:40] Takagi
    I just finished checking some convenience
    store security camera footage for the man's face.
[10:45] Takagi
    I'm about to bring it to the family.
[10:48] Takagi
    This is him.
[10:50] Yasuko
    Oh?
[10:51] Yasuko
    This is Takase-kun.
[10:53] Takagi
    What? You know him?
[10:55] Yuichi
    Who is he?
[10:57] Yasuko
    His name is Takase Rintaro-kun.
[10:59] Yasuko
    He was my student back when
    I taught grade school.
[11:04] Takagi
    Your old student?
[11:06] Yuichi
    Is this him, then? Did he kill Eiji?
[11:10] Yasuko
    No. Impossible.
[11:12] Takagi
    We don't know that yet.
[11:15] Yuichi
    I was treated as a suspect
    because of this man.
[11:20] Takagi
    W-We still don't know if he did it yet.
[11:24] Yasuko
    I don't think he did.
[11:25] Takagi
    What?
[11:27] Yasuko
    Rintaro-kun was rowdy and
    caused a lot of trouble.
[11:33] Yasuko
    But at heart, he was a good kid.
[11:36] Yasuko
    He's not someone who could've
    killed another person.
[11:41] Takagi
    I see.
[11:42] Yasuko
    Right? Why would Rintaro-kun kill Eiji?
[11:46] Yasuko
    He has no reason to.
[11:48] Takagi
    So, have you met with Takase-san recently?
[11:52] Yasuko
    Yes, last week at the
    hosp—in the neighborhood.
[11:57] Takagi
    What? Did you exchange addresses
    or contact information then?
[12:01] Yasuko
    No.
[12:02] Yasuko
    He just said he was working at a
    construction site near Hinode Pier.
SIGN    Takase Rintaro (32)
    Construction Site Worker
[12:25] Megure
    Takase-san.
[12:26] Takase
    Huh?
[12:28] Megure
    You're Takase Rintaro-san, correct?
    Graduated from Haido Elementary School One.
[12:33] Takase
    What if I am?
[12:36] Megure
    We're the police. Could we have
    a few minutes of your time?
[12:41] Takase
    Sure. Wait for me at the pier.
[12:46] Takase
    I'll go ask my foreman for his permission.
[12:52] Takagi
    He wasn't even surprised that
    the police suddenly showed up.
[12:57] Kogoro
    He was smirking.
[13:01] Megure
    And he didn't even ask why we were here.
[13:05] Conan
    He must've been expecting the police to come.
[13:19] Announce
    The water taxi for Asakusa is departing.
[13:27] Takase
    Kadowaki Yasuko-sensei?
[13:30] Takase
    Yeah, of course I remember her.
[13:33] Takase
    I was a rowdy kid.
[13:36] Takase
    She scolded me all the time.
[13:41] Takase
    Honestly, I hated her.
[13:45] Takase
    But that was twenty years ago.
[13:49] Takagi
    You've been asking around the neighborhood
    about the Kadowaki family recently.
[13:54] Takase
    I think it was last week that I ran into her.
[13:58] Takase
    I wanted to know how she was doing.
[14:00] Takase
    I felt nostalgic.
[14:02] Conan
    Who suddenly feels nostalgic
    about someone they hated?
[14:07] Takase
    Huh?
[14:09] Megure
    Takase-san, did you know that
    Kadowaki Yasuko-san's younger son
[14:13] Megure
    Kadowaki Eiji-san was killed last night?
[14:18] Takase
    What? Her son was killed?
[14:23] Megure
    We came to talk to you as
    part of the investigation.
[14:28] Takase
    I see.
[14:29] Megure
    So, Takase-san, where were
    you at ten last night?
[14:34] Takase
    I knew it. You think I did it, don't you?
[14:38] Takase
    But if I wanted revenge, wouldn't I
    go after Kadowaki-sensei directly?
[14:44] Takagi
    Why would I kill her son?
[14:47] Megure
    A parent's greatest treasure is their
    children, no matter how old they are.
[14:52] Megure
    Maybe you wanted to make her sad
    by taking the life of her son.
[14:59] Takase
    I see. The police have put
    a lot of thought into this.
[15:04] Takase
    How informative.
[15:09] Takase
    But I didn't do it!
[15:13] Takase
    Last night around ten, I was
    in the middle of a three hour
[15:17] Takase
    all you can drink session in Nebada.
[15:21] Megure
    What?
[15:26] Employee
    Oh, I remember him well.
SIGN    Three Hours ¥3330 All You Can Eat & Drink!! Nebada Brewery
[15:30] Employee
    He was sitting in that corner.
[15:32] Employee
    He was facing the wall and kept
    shouting about fighting spirit.
[15:37] Takase
    Spirit, spirit!
[15:41] Takase
    Ten katsu skewers and a large beer!
[15:45] Employee
    He probably went to the bathroom,
[15:47] Employee
    but aside from that, he was eating
    and drinking the whole time.
[15:50] Chiba
    Do you know what time that was?
[15:53] Employee
    I think it was three hours
    starting just after eight.
[15:58] Employee
    Would you like to check our security cameras?
[16:01] Employee
    They're only installed
    at the entrance, though.
[16:04] Chiba
    You said around eight, right?
[16:06] Employee
    Yeah. He's here.
[16:09] Employee
    It's this guy in the loud Hawaiian shirt.
[16:12] Takagi
    That's definitely Takase.
[16:14] Chiba
    The time is 8:01 PM.
[16:18] Chiba
    And three hours later...
[16:22] Takasi
    He's leaving the restaurant after 11.
[16:32] Megure
    What? He has an alibi?
[16:35] Takagi
    Yes, sir.
[16:36] Chiba
    We were able to confirm that he was at a bar
    in Nebada from eight to 11, just like he said.
[16:43] Megure
    I see.
[16:48] Takase
    I told you so.
[16:51] Takase
    I didn't do it.
[16:55] Megure
    It seems that way. I'm sorry.
[16:58] Megure
    But then who did?
[17:02] Takase
    How would I know?
[17:04] Takase
    Isn't it your job to figure that out? Right?
[17:09] Takase
    Mr. Inspector.
[17:15] Takase
    Well, I'm leaving now.
    Good luck with your job.
[17:20] Megure
    Wait a minute.
[17:25] Megure
    Megure here.
[17:27] Megure
    What? A fire at the
    Kadowaki family residence?
[17:42] Kogoro
    I don't believe it.
[17:43] Kogoro
    It's completely destroyed.
[17:45] Megure
    What about them? Where's the Kadowaki family?
[17:49] Conan
    Over there.
[17:50] Conan
    They're at that ambulance.
[17:58] Megure
    Yuichi-san.
[18:00] Megure
    You're all right.
[18:02] Megure
    What about your mother?
[18:07] Yuichi
    They just took her away.
[18:09] Yuichi
    They're going to determine
    the cause of death.
[18:15] Takase
    Sensei...
[18:18] Takase
    So that was your destiny.
[18:28] Kogoro
    Hey, what's so funny?
[18:32] Yuichi
    Damn it.
[18:39] Takase
    Sometimes there's nothing you can do.
[18:44] Takase
    Well, Inspector, I'll be leaving now.
[18:54] Megure
    Yuichi-san.
[18:55] Megure
    I'm terribly sorry to ask at this time,
    but could you tell us what happened?
[19:00] Megure
    For your late mother's sake, too.
[19:03] Yuichi
    All right.
SIGN    Haido West Third Street Police Box
[19:08] Yuichi
    When the fire broke out, I was sleeping
    in my room on the second floor.
[19:13] Yuichi
    Perhaps it's because I'd been questioned by
    the police, but I had a terrible headache.
[19:18] Yuichi
    So by the time I realized something
    was amiss, it was a sea of fire.
[19:25] Yuichi
    Mom! Are you there, Mom?!
[19:29] Yuichi
    It was all I could do to save myself.
[19:34] Kogoro
    It may be a coincidence, but I can't believe
    he lost his mother right after his brother.
[19:40] Megure
    About that...
[19:43] Megure
    Yuichi-san, can you think of anyone
    who might have resented you
[19:48] Megure
    and the rest of the Kadowaki family?
[19:52] Megure
    Another one of your family
    members died today.
[19:57] Megure
    Don't you think it's too
    much of a coincidence?
[20:01] Conan
    He's not wrong.
[20:03] Kogoro
    But, Inspector...
[20:06] Megure
    It's a possibility. We should confirm it.
[20:09] Kogoro
    Yes, but...
[20:11] Megure
    Well, Yuichi-san?
[20:13] Yuichi
    No. I can't think of anyone like that.
[20:22] Megure
    I know what he said, but check out everyone
    associated with the Kadowaki family tomorrow.
[20:28] Megure
    See if anyone hated that family.
[20:32] Both
    Yes, sir.
[20:34] Megure
    What is it, Mori-kun?
[20:37] Megure
    You don't like it?
[20:38] Kogoro
    No, that's not it.
[20:42] Kogoro
    In any case, Inspector, we should get going.
[20:45] Megure
    All right.
[20:45] Kogoro
    Let's go, kid.
[20:47] Conan
    Okay.
[20:50] Kogoro
    That Takase guy definitely did it.
[20:52] Conan
    What? But when the fire happened...
[20:55] Kogoro
    The fire is unrelated.
[20:57] Kogoro
    I'm talking about Eiji-san's murder.
[21:01] Kogoro
    That fire was just an
    unfortunate coincidence.
[21:05] Conan
    It's true that his behavior was unnatural.
[21:09] Conan
    He wasn't surprised at all that
    the police suddenly showed up.
[21:13] Kogoro
    Or when he heard Kadowaki
    Eiji-san was murdered.
[21:16] Takase
    What? Her son was killed?
[21:20] Conan
    It seemed so deliberate.
[21:22] Kogoro
    Yeah.
[21:24] Kogoro
