[01:18] Tsuchida
    Lately I've been fearing
    for my personal safety.
[01:22] Kogoro
    I see. That's why you hired
    me to be your bodyguard.
[01:27] Kogoro
    President Tsuchida, do your
    actions not violate the law?
[01:32] Tsuchida
    The law?
[01:34] Tsuchida
    It's their fault for being greedy
    and handing over their money.
[01:38] Tsuchida
    What do you think? I'll pay you generously.

[04:19] Conan
    Anyway, the bus sure is late.
[04:21] Kogoro
    The job sucked, and the bus isn't coming.
[04:25] Kogoro
    It's one misfortune after another.
[04:27] Kogoro
    Give me a break.
[04:35] Kogoro
    What was that?!
[04:49] Kogoro
    What's wrong?
[04:51] Ayako
    Th-That...
[05:00] Kogoro
    It's no use. He's dead.
[05:07] Kogoro
    They used a statue wrapped in a towel.
[05:10] Conan
    Yeah.
[05:12] Conan
    They prevented the victim's
    blood from getting on them.
[05:16] Conan
    This towel...
[05:18] Kogoro
    Hey.
[05:19] Kogoro
    Over there, too.
[05:27] Kogoro
    It's no use.
[05:29] Kogoro
    I don't believe it. Two of them...
[05:33] Nozomi
    Yuto-san!
[05:35] Nozomi
    No... Yuto-san...
[05:38] Kogoro
    Stay back.
[05:40] Nozomi
    No! Yuto-san! Yuto-san!
[05:42] Kogoro
    You mustn't!
[05:54] Kogoro
    Hello? Yes.
[06:06] Megure
    Goldfish?
[06:07] Kogoro
    Yes, goldfish.
[06:09] Kogoro
    The victim President Tsuchida lied about
    importing rare goldfish from abroad,
[06:15] Kogoro
    and gathered a large sum of money.
[06:18] Megure
    In other words, he was
    running an investment scam.
[06:20] Kogoro
    Yes. The investors were furious.
[06:25] Kogoro
    I believe the culprit may
    be one of his clients.
[06:28] Megure
    Got it, Mori-kun.
[06:30] Megure
    We'll follow that lead.
[06:33] Kogoro
    Yes, sir.
[06:35] Kogoro
    Hey, kid! Don't come in here.
[06:37] Conan
    Sorry.
[06:40] Kogoro
    Jeez.
[06:41] Kogoro
    Oh, Inspector.
[06:43] Kogoro
    This is his office worker Nagase Ayako-san.
[06:46] Megure
    You were the first one
    to discovered the bodies.
[06:49] Ayako
    Yes.
[06:50] Ayako
    When I returned after buying the
    items the president requested,
[06:54] Ayako
    President Tsuchida was...
[06:55] Kogoro
    Then there's Makimura Nozomi-san.
[06:57] Kogoro
    She was the girlfriend of the
    other victim Kajiura-san.
[07:03] Megure
    At the time of the murders, where were you?
[07:06] Nozomi
    Waiting outside for Yuto-san.
[07:09] Nozomi
    That's when I heard a scream.
[07:16] Kogoro
    Whoa!
[07:17] Conan
    Miss, use this.
[07:20] Nozomi
    Thank you.
[07:22] Conan
    Are you okay?
[07:24] Nozomi
    Yeah.
[07:25] Kogoro
    Why don't you rest in the other room?
[07:27] Nozomi
    It's all right. I'd like to
    help with the investigation.
[07:34] Megure
    But even if the president Tsuchida-san
    had incurred the hatred of his clients,
[07:38] Megure
    why kill Kajiura-san, too?
[07:40] Kitamura
    Let go!
[07:42] Bando
    I have nothing to do with this!
[07:47] Megure
    What's going on, Takagi-kun?
[07:50] Takagi
    They were in the building, so I had
    them come as potential witnesses.
[07:55] Takagi
    This is Kitamura Mitsuru-san, the
    proprietor of Kitamura Hardware,
[07:58] Takagi
    and housewife Bando Atsuko-san.
[08:02] Kogoro
    You!
[08:03] Kitamura
    Damn you! You tricked us!
[08:06] Kitamura
    What you did was swindle us!
[08:09] Bando
    Give us back our money!
[08:11] Takagi
    Yes.
[08:12] Takagi
    I heard they were related to President
    Tsuchida's goldfish investment.
[08:18] Takagi
    And 30 minutes earlier
    when the murders occurred,
[08:24] Takagi
    Kitamura-san was at a bicycle
    parking lot near this building.
[08:29] Kitamura
    Yeah, I parked my scooter there.
[08:33] Kitamura
    When I tried to leave, I
    found that my tire was flat.
[08:36] Kitamura
    I called a bike shop and
    was waiting for them.
[08:39] Kogoro
    Can anyone verify that?
[08:41] Kitamura
    No!
[08:43] Megure
    Bando-san, how about you?
[08:45] Bando
    Me?
[08:48] Bando
    I...
[08:50] Kogoro
    In other words, neither of you have alibis,
[08:53] Kogoro
    but you have clear motives.
[08:57] Kitamura
    Motive? In that case, let me be clear!
[09:00] Kitamura
    Tsuchida took the entirety of
    my store's working capital!
[09:04] Kitamura
    That trash deserved to be killed!
[09:08] Bando
    I had all my son's tuition
    money taken from me!
[09:12] Bando
    It's only natural that he was killed!
[09:14] Kitamura
    But I swear I didn't do it!
[09:17] Bando
    Me neither! I have nothing to do with this!
[09:20] Kitamura
    In the first place, did anyone
    see me at the crime scene?
[09:26] Kogoro
    Well?
[09:30] Kitamura
    See? I've got nothing to do with this!
[09:34] Nozomi
    But I was waiting for Yuto-san at
    the convenience store parking lot
[09:39] Nozomi
    across from this building.
[09:41] Nozomi
    I think I saw someone through
    the window while I was there.
[09:46] Kogoro
    You saw someone through the window?
[09:48] Nozomi
    Yes, someone heading towards
    the president's office.
[09:52] Kogoro
    The president's office! That's where
    President Tsuchida was murdered.
[09:56] Megure
    Was it a man or a woman?
[09:59] Nozomi
    It was too far to see that much.
[10:02] Nozomi
    Besides, it may have just been my mistake.
[10:07] Kogoro
    That's it!
[10:08] Megure
    What is it, Mori-kun?
[10:10] Kogoro
    Inspector, I've got it.
[10:12] Kogoro
    I know how the culprit entered the office
[10:17] Kogoro
    and why they had to kill Kajiura-san
    after killing President Tsuchida.
[10:24] Kogoro
    First the culprit entered
    through the front entrance.
[10:27] Kogoro
    They crossed the window
    facing the convenience store
[10:31] Kogoro
    and headed towards the president's office.
[10:34] Kogoro
    We know that from Nozomi-san's testimony.
[10:38] Kogoro
    When the culprit entered the president's
    office at the end of the hallway,
[10:44] Kogoro
    they bludgeoned the detestable President
    Tsuchida with all their rage.
[10:52] Kogoro
    They tried to flee immediately.
[10:55] Kogoro
    But that's when another tragedy occurred.
[11:02] Kogoro
    Yes, they were discovered by Kajiura-san,
[11:06] Kogoro
    who entered from the main office.
[11:09] Kogoro
    The culprit rushed at Kajiura-san
[11:12] Kogoro
    and used their knife to kill the
    fleeing Kajiura-san in this office.
[11:31] Conan
    Huh?
[11:32] Megure
    I see. Which means Kajiura-san was...
[11:36] Kogoro
    Killed because he happened
    to see the culprit.
[11:40] Kogoro
    In other words, collateral damage.
[11:43] Nozomi
    Collateral damage? N-No...
[12:05] Bando
    Oh?
[12:07] Conan
    What's wrong, ma'am?
[12:09] Bando
    Isn't this boy sick?
[12:12] Conan
    This boy? You mean the goldfish?
[12:14] Bando
    Yes. This boy can't be put in
    a tank with other goldfish.
[12:19] Conan
    I'm sorry. I put him in there
    since his tank was broken.
[12:24] Bando
    Then there must have been
    medicine in the broken tank.
[12:28] Conan
    Medicine?
[12:31] Bando
    That over there. A disinfectant.
[12:34] Conan
    Disinfectant?
[12:36] Conan
    Ma'am, you know a lot about goldfish.
[12:38] Bando
    I sure do. I've loved
    them since I was a child.
[12:42] Bando
    Maybe that's why I fell
    for this investment scam.
SIGN    Invest in Goldfish For a Happy Life!
[12:59] Megure
    Bando Atsuko-san,
[13:02] Megure
    your alibi has been verified.
[13:05] Bando
    What? My alibi?
[13:08] Takagi
    Yes.
[13:09] Takagi
    While gathering information,
[13:10] Takagi
    we heard you were borrowing money at a
    friend's house when the murders took place.
[13:14] Bando
    Yes.
[13:15] Bando
    The truth is, I was too
    embarrassed to say anything.
[13:20] Kogoro
    Jeez. But now you're innocent, which means...
[13:26] Kitamura
    M-Me?
[13:27] Bando
    You said you'd kill him.
[13:30] Kitamura
    No! I didn't do it!
[13:32] Takagi
    About that.
[13:34] Takagi
    It was difficult to read beneath the blood,
[13:36] Takagi
    but on the towel discovered
    in the president's office...
[13:42] Megure
    Isn't this the name of the store you operate?
[13:46] Kogoro
    It's damning evidence.
[13:48] Ayako
    You killed President Tsuchida?
[13:51] Kitamura
    No! I didn't kill Tsuchida!
[13:54] Megure
    We'll discuss this at the station.
[13:56] Kitamura
    What?
[13:57] Megure
    Could you come with us?
[13:58] Kitamura
    I don't know anything! I didn't do it!
[14:01] Kitamura
    It wasn't me!
[14:02] Conan
    Hey, Detective Takagi.
[14:04] Conan
    That towel was wet, wasn't it?
[14:07] Conan
    Do you know what the water was?
[14:10] Takagi
    It was ordinary water.
[14:11] Takagi
    But there was a type of
    disinfectant mixed into it.
[14:15] Conan
    A disinfectant...
[14:20] Kitamura
    I didn't do it!
[14:21] Police
    Yes, we understand. Now come this way...
[14:37] Kogoro
    Hold on, everyone.
[14:40] Takagi
    There it is, Mori-san! Has your
    deduction so far been incorrect?
[14:45] Kogoro
    What? No. There was just one
    thing I wanted to confirm.
[14:50] Megure
    Confirm? What do you mean, Mori-kun?
[14:54] Kogoro
    Yes. Every crime has a motive,
    an order, and a result.
[15:01] Kogoro
    Yes, if you approach this case normally,
[15:05] Kogoro
    the culprit must've hated President Tsuchida.
[15:08] Kogoro
    It's the reason he was killed,
[15:12] Kogoro
    why Kajiura-san got caught up in it,
[15:16] Kogoro
    and why the culprit is Kitamura-san.
[15:21] Megure
    Considering the towel left at the crime
    scene, that's a reasonable deduction.
[15:26] Kogoro
    Yes.
[15:27] Kogoro
    But what if the truth was the opposite
    of every reasonable deduction?
[15:33] All
    The opposite?
[15:35] Megure
    What do you mean, Mori-kun?
[15:37] Kogoro
    First, the true culprit stole a towel
    embroidered with the name of Kitamura-san's shop
[15:44] Kogoro
    and punctured his scooter's tire
    so he wouldn't have an alibi.
[15:50] Kogoro
    After entering the company's office,
    they first headed to the main office.
SIGN    Main Office
[15:55] Megure
    They went to the main office first?
[15:58] Kogoro
    Yes.
[16:00] Kogoro
    Once they were invited inside,
[16:04] Kogoro
    they killed Kajiura-san with a knife.
[16:16] Kogoro
    Next they headed to the president's office,
    where they killed President Tsuchida.
[16:26] Kogoro
    Naturally, they left the stolen towel
    in order to frame Kitamura-san.
[16:33] Kogoro
    After committing both murders,
[16:36] Kogoro
    they returned to the front
    entrance and left the office.
[16:42] Megure
    Hold on, Mori-kun. Do you have any evidence?
[16:45] Kogoro
    Of course. First, there's the location
    where Kajiura-san collapsed.
[16:50] Kogoro
    If Kajiura-san was attacked by and fled from
    the culprit leaving the president's office,
[16:56] Kogoro
    he should have collapsed
    in the opposite direction.
[17:00] Kogoro
    Then there's the towel discovered
    in the president's office.
[17:05] Kogoro
    Detective Takagi.
[17:07] Takagi
    Y-Yes?
[17:08] Kogoro
    When it was discovered, the towel was
    wet not only with blood, but also water.
[17:13] Kogoro
    Have you determined its exact composition?
[17:16] Takagi
    According to the forensic report, it
    was water mixed with a disinfectant.
[17:22] Conan
    Could this be that disinfectant?
[17:26] Megure
    It's for fish.
[17:28] Kogoro
    Yes. In the main office was a small
    tank in addition to the large one.
[17:35] Kogoro
    It was for a goldfish that had become sick.
[17:39] Kogoro
    Kajiura-san knocked one of them over, and
    the water spilled on the culprit as well.
[17:45] Kogoro
    That's why disinfectant was
    found on the culprit's towel.
[17:50] Kogoro
    If they had killed Kajiura-san
    after killing President Tsuchida,
[17:54] Kogoro
    there would be no fish
    tank water on the towel.
[17:58] Megure
    I see.
[18:00] Kogoro
    They probably brought with them the
    knife they used to kill Kajiura-san,
[18:05] Kogoro
    but the sculpture they used to kill Tsuchida
    was already in the president's office.
[18:11] Kogoro
    If they truly did intend
    to kill President Tsuchida,
[18:17] Kogoro
    instead of leaving the knife
    in Kajiura-san's body,
[18:20] Kogoro
    they would have used it to
    kill the president as well.
[18:23] Megure
    Hold on, Mori-kun.
[18:25] Megure
    Doesn't that mean...
[18:27] Kogoro
    In other words,
[18:29] Kogoro
    the true culprit's intended target was
    not President Tsuchida, but Kajiura-san.
[18:35] Nozomi
    Yuto-san?
[18:36] Kogoro
    And in order to hide their true intention,
[18:39] Kogoro
    the culprit murdered President
    Tsuchida, who was hated by everyone.
[18:45] Megure
    But what about Nozomi-san's testimony?
[18:49] Nozomi
    Yes. I saw someone heading to the
    president's office through the window.
[18:55] Kogoro
    What if that testimony were a calculated lie?
[18:59] Megure
    A calculated lie?
[19:01] Kogoro
    Yes, one meant to mislead us.
[19:06] Kogoro
    Makimura Nozomi-san, you're the true culprit!
[19:11] Both
    What?
[19:12] Nozomi
    I killed Yuto-san?
[19:14] Nozomi
    No! That's not possible!
[19:20] Kogoro
    Conan told me. You don't
    have a handkerchief, do you?
[19:26] Kogoro
    When you killed Kajiura-san, did you use it
    to prevent his blood from getting on you?
[19:31] Kogoro
    Have you already disposed of it somewhere?
[19:34] Kogoro
    And the area around your
    hips is stained, isn't it?
[19:41] Kogoro
    That stain is from that.
[19:43] Kogoro
    Conan!
[19:44] Conan
    Here.
SIGN    Invest in Goldfish For a Happy Life!
[19:47] Conan
    It's from these letters. It happened then.
[19:50] Nozomi
    Yuto-san! Yuto-san! Yuto-san!
[19:51] Kogoro
    Stay back.
[19:54] Kogoro
    You mustn't!
[19:55] Conan
    Your body was wet with water then.
[19:59] Conan
    That's why the letters on this poster
    bled and stained your clothes.
[20:05] Kogoro
    The true culprit was soaked
    by the water in the fish tank.
[20:08] Kogoro
    If disinfectant were
    discovered on her clothes...
[20:13] Takagi
    That would put her at the crime scene.
[20:15] Kogoro
    Yes.
[20:16] Kogoro
    Nozomi-san, that is the definitive evidence
    that proves you're the true culprit!
[20:23] Megure
    Get the forensics team.
    Have them examine her clothes.
[20:28] Kitamura
    Could it be?
[20:29] Ayako
    But why kill Kajiura-san?
[20:33] Nozomi
    I gave Kajiura-san everything.
[20:38] Nozomi
    Before he got a job, for years and years.
[20:44] Nozomi
    But once he began working
    for President Tsuchida,
[20:47] Nozomi
    he started making a lot of money.
[20:50] Nozomi
    Then he said he didn't love me anymore.
[20:57] Nozomi
    On top of that, he told me to leave.
[21:01] Nozomi
    He hit me and kicked me.
[21:08] Nozomi
    So I took revenge so I wouldn't get caught.
[21:17] Megure
    That's enough!
[21:20] Megure
    That doesn't make it right to kill someone!
[21:24] Megure
    And killing a bystander in order to conceal
    your guilt is absolutely atrocious!
[23:06] Conan
    Mister, that was cool of you.
[23:08] Conan
    I'm impressed you realized
    the target was the other person.
[23:13] Kogoro
    That was a piece of cake for me.
[23:18] Kogoro
    Not that I remember it very well.
[23:21] Kogoro
    Anyway, the bus is late.
SIGN    To Beika City
[23:25] Conan
    Huh? To Beika City?
[23:28] Conan
    Are we at the wrong bus stop?
[23:31] Kogoro
