**[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

**[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)

**[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**
He knew that Eiji-san had been murdered.
**[21:30] Conan**
*Most likely, yes.*
***SIGN*** Nebada Brewery

**[21:50] Conan**
But he has an alibi.
**[21:53] Conan**
He was taken off the
suspect list as a result.
**[21:58] Kogoro**
He must've used some kind of trick.
**[22:01] Kogoro**
