Detective Conan Episode 981 "Welcome
to Bocchan Restaurant (Part One)"
**[00:00] Conan**
[OP]
**[00:00] Conan**
[ED]
**[00:00] Conan**
[Eyecatch]
**[00:07] Haibara**
Yoshida-san?
**[00:16] Haibara**
What is it?
**[00:20] Genta**
It's really hurt. Did it get hit by a car?
**[00:24] Conan**
No, it doesn't seem like it.
**[00:28] Conan**
There aren't any signs
that it was hit by a car.
**[00:32] Conan**
Someone probably hit or kicked it.
**[00:35] Ayumi**
Why would someone do something so cruel?
**[00:37] Haibara**
It's unforgivable.
**[00:39] Conan**
This might serve as a clue
to finding the culprit.
**[00:43] Conan**
These bloodstains and fibers...
**[00:44] Genta**
The cat must've scratched something
the culprit was wearing.
**[00:47] Mitsuhiko**
Yellow and pink...
That's distinctive clothing.
**[00:52] Haibara**
We need to find the culprit
**[00:56] Haibara**
but we also need to get
this cat to a hospital.
**[00:59] Haibara**
Yoshida-san, let's go.
**[01:00] Ayumi**
Okay.
**[01:01] Conan**
*She's oddly kind to animals.*
**[01:06] Doctor**
He's in a weakened state, but he'll be fine.
**[01:10] Doctor**
It'll take some time, but he'll get better.
***SIGN*** Beika City Animal Hospital
**[01:16] Conan**
Now then, how will we find the culprit?
**[01:21] Conan**
*Is it a case?*
***SIGN*** Bocchan Restaurant
**[01:28] Conan**
Bocchan Restaurant?
**[01:30] Kogoro**
You kids again?
**[01:33] Kogoro**
Are we cursed in some way?
**[01:35] Conan**
*Right back at you...*
**[01:48] Mitsuhiko**
That man's shirt is yellow and pink!
**[01:51] Genta**
Which means he's...
**[01:53] Haibara**
The animal abuser.
**[01:56] Conan**
*Does this have something to do with that cat?*
**[02:04] Conan**
The rhythm on my lips is footloose!
**[02:06] Conan**
The rhythm of my detective
skills is perfect!
**[02:08] Conan**
An odd restaurant with characters
plucked from a novel!
**[02:10] Conan**
The Detective Boys take
on a serial murder case!
**[02:12] Conan**
Always determining the one truth
**[02:13] Conan**
with the body of a child
and the mind of an adult,
**[02:15] Conan**
his name is Detective Conan!
***SIGN*** Welcome to Bocchan Restaurant
(Part One)
**[03:56] Conan**
"Welcome to Bocchan Restaurant, Part One!"
**[04:02] Takagi**
The victim was Bocchan Restaurant employee
Koga Ushio-san, thirty-six years old.
***SIGN*** Koga Ushio (36)
Bocchan Restaurant Head Receptionist
**[04:07] Takagi**
The weapon hasn't been found, but is
most likely a kitchen knife-like blade.
***SIGN*** Sanshiro Lake
**[04:12] Takagi**
The body was abandoned in Sanshiro Lake.
**[04:15] Takagi**
Judging by the body's condition, he
was killed last night around midnight.
**[04:22] Megure**
You lot again?
**[04:25] Megure**
Try not to get in our way by
walking around the crime scene.
**[04:29] Kogoro**
Yes, sir.
**[04:30] Megure**
Continue, Takagi-kun.
**[04:32] Takagi**
Yes, sir.
**[04:33] Takagi**
This morning, Bocchan Restaurant
manager Akazawa Zenichi-san,
***SIGN*** Akazawa Zenichi (60)
Bocchan Restaurant Manager
**[04:38] Takagi**
whose home is located here at the
restaurant, discovered the body.
**[04:41] Akazawa**
Who could have killed Uranari?
**[04:44] Conan**
It's possible that cat happened to be
here at the crime scene last night.
**[04:49] All**
What?
**[04:50] Conan**
Since their crime had been witnessed,
they intended to silence him.
**[04:54] Ayumi**
That's why they hurt the kitty?
**[04:57] Haibara**
How awful.
**[04:59] Genta**
But it was a cat that witnessed their crime.
**[05:01] Conan**
It's plausible given a criminal's mentality.
**[05:04] Haibara**
Then we should find the culprit
for that cat's sake, too.
**[05:09] Ayumi**
Yeah.
**[05:09] Mitsuhiko**
You're right.
**[05:11] Genta**
Yeah.
**[05:14] Takagi**
Regarding the criminal profile, since the murder
occurred within the restaurant late at night,
**[05:17] Takagi**
it's hard to imagine that it
was committed by an outsider.
**[05:20] Genta**
So it's likely that the murder was committed
by someone who works at Bocchan Restaurant.
**[05:25] Conan**
The culprit is probably someone
who works at the restaurant.
**[05:28] Chiba**
Inspector Megure.
**[05:29] Chiba**
All the employees have arrived for work.
**[05:32] Megure**
Everyone's here, huh?
**[05:33] All**
What?
**[05:49] Akazawa**
That's our uniform.
**[05:53] Conan**
What is that?
**[05:55] Employee**
Boys, Uranari's been killed.
**[05:58] Employee**
Indeed.
**[05:59] Employee**
Indeed.
***SIGN*** Bocchan
Shima Rokusuke (22)
**[06:00] Bocchan**
What evildoer could do such a thing?
**[06:02] Bocchan**
The sun may forgive them, but I will not!
***SIGN*** Kiyo
Kiyohara Uni (71)
**[06:06] Kiyo**
How marvelous.
**[06:07] Kiyo**
Bocchan's sense of justice is
this old Kiyo's pride and joy.
**[06:12] Conan**
*Bocchan? Kiyo?*
**[06:15] Yamaarashi**
Now you've done it, you dastardly Red Shirt!
***SIGN*** Yama Arashi Hotta Izumi (32)
**[06:18] Yamaarashi**
All to get at Madonna!
***SIGN*** Madonna
Toyama Chiaki (24)
**[06:20] Madonna**
Please, Yama Arashi-san.
**[06:23] Madonna**
You make it seem like
I'm the reason for this.
**[06:26] Akazawa**
I'd never do anything as
senseless as kill someone.
**[06:30] Akazawa**
Right?
**[06:31] Nodaiko**
Indeed.
***SIGN*** Nodaiko
Yoshikawa Kozo (43)
**[06:33] Nodaiko**
You suspect the president? What a fool.
**[06:36] Yamaarashi**
Nodaiko, stay out of this!
**[06:38] Tanuki**
Now, now.
***SIGN*** Tanuki
Tanuma Toyoo (58)
**[06:39] Tanuki**
Let's not cast suspicion upon each other.
**[06:42] Bocchan**
You're always afraid to
rock the boat, Tanuki.
**[06:47] Conan**
Bocchan Restaurant recreates the
world inside a novel, doesn't it?
**[06:51] Akazawa**
I'm impressed you noticed, son!
**[06:53] Akazawa**
That's our selling point.
**[06:54] All**
What? A novel?
**[06:57] Mitsuhiko**
You haven't heard of "Bocchan"?
**[07:00] Haibara**
Well, they are first graders.
**[07:03] Conan**
Yeah.
**[07:04] Conan**
Mitsuhiko, could you explain?
**[07:08] Mitsuhiko**
"Bocchan" is a famous novel written
during the Meiji Era by Natsume Soseki.
**[07:15] Mitsuhiko**
The protagonist Bocchan leaves
his old maidservant Kiyo-san in Tokyo
**[07:19] Mitsuhiko**
to begin teaching at a school in Shikoku.
**[07:23] Man 1**
*Grasshoppers? These are locusts!*
**[07:26] Man 2**
*Grasshoppers and locusts are the same thing!*
**[07:28] Mitsuhiko**
But his students pull pranks on him,
like putting grasshoppers in his bed.
**[07:34] Mitsuhiko**
The principal Tanuki is irresponsible.
**[07:37] Mitsuhiko**
Meanwhile, he learns that his colleague
Uranari-kun's fiancée, Madonna-san,
**[07:42] Mitsuhiko**
has been taken from him
by head teacher Red Shirt.
**[07:45] Mitsuhiko**
The righteous Bocchan is
unable to forgive them,
**[07:48] Mitsuhiko**
so he and his colleague Yama
Arashi-san beat up Red Shirt
**[07:52] Mitsuhiko**
and his obsequious sidekick Nodaiko.
**[07:55] Mitsuhiko**
It's a very satisfying story!
**[07:58] Genta**
Sounds interesting.
**[08:00] Ayumi**
And...
**[08:02] Ayumi**
You're lucky, miss.
**[08:03] Ayumi**
You get to wear those pretty clothes
while bringing customers their food.
**[08:08] Madonna**
That's not my only job.
**[08:10] Ayumi**
You do other stuff, too?
**[08:20] Both**
Bocchan Dancers?
**[08:22] Ayumi**
They all dance together...
**[08:30] Haibara**
We should get started on
looking for the culprit.
**[08:33] Conan**
Yeah.
**[08:34] Conan**
*The culprit is probably one of them.*
**[08:39] Bocchan**
Since we're temporarily closed,
they could let us leave.
**[08:43] Yamaarashi**
The police insist we stay
so they can question us.
**[08:47] Nodaiko**
But they'll be providing food,
so we won't have to buy our own.
**[08:51] Yamaarashi**
Don't you have any ambition?
**[08:54] Bocchan**
I do appreciate not having
to buy my own lunch.
**[09:01] Conan**
Those three...
**[09:03] Conan**
Their colleague was just murdered.
**[09:06] Madonna**
It's understandable.
**[09:09] Madonna**
After all, the victim Uranari-san was—
**[09:14] Conan**
Did he have problems?
**[09:20] Akazawa**
You think I did it?
**[09:23] Megure**
We received testimony.
**[09:26] Megure**
You and the victim Uranari-san, or
Koga Ushio, were romantic rivals.
**[09:32] Megure**
You fought over Toyama
Chiaki-san, who plays Madonna.
**[09:35] Akazaka**
That's—
**[09:36] Madonna**
No!
**[09:38] Takagi**
And you live on restaurant grounds.
**[09:41] Takagi**
It's possible you invited over your
romantic rival last night, and...
**[09:47] Akazawa**
Impossible.
**[09:48] Akazawa**
He was responsible for all
of our reception staff.
**[09:52] Akazawa**
What kind of manager would murder
the backbone of his business?
**[09:57] Kogoro**
One thing may have led to another.
**[09:59] Kogoro**
You invited Uranari-san over and
asked him to leave Madonna-san alone.
**[10:03] Kogoro**
But he wouldn't listen, so without
thinking, you stabbed him.
**[10:06] Akazawa**
Why would I have been holding a knife then?
**[10:09] Kogoro**
To threaten him.
**[10:11] Kogoro**
After all, Red Shirt is a dastardly fellow
who will do anything to get his way.
**[10:14] Akazawa**
Please don't confuse the novel with reality.
**[10:18] Akazawa**
If you think I did it, I'd
like to see some evidence.
**[10:25] Madonna**
Is that true?
**[10:27] Madonna**
Did they both harbor
romantic feelings for me?
**[10:30] Takagi**
You didn't know?
**[10:33] Madonna**
I thought they were simply pretending
**[10:36] Madonna**
in front of our customers as
part of our business strategy.
**[10:44] Ayumi**
It must be shocking to learn that
two men were fighting over her.
**[10:50] Mitsuhiko**
Not only that, but if a murder
was committed because of it...
**[10:55] Genta**
That would be hard.
**[10:56] Conan**
Come to think of it, what was
she about to say earlier?
**[11:00] Haibara**
Something about Uranari-san.
**[11:02] Chiba**
Inspector.
**[11:05] Megure**
The victim Uranari had a terrible reputation?
**[11:09] Kogoro**
Are you sure you're not mistaken?
**[11:12] Kogoro**
Uranari is a kind-hearted and good man.
**[11:14] Chiba**
In the novel.
**[11:16] Chiba**
But apparently they're all totally
different from the characters they play.
**[11:22] Takagi**
What do you mean?
**[11:23] Chiba**
For example, the dastardly Red Shirt
**[11:25] Chiba**
is a good-natured man who
cares for his employees.
**[11:30] Chiba**
Bocchan is actually a twisted
man with no sense of justice.
**[11:34] Chiba**
Yama Arashi is a delicate crybaby.
**[11:38] Chiba**
And Madonna seems plain,
**[11:40] Chiba**
but she wrestled as a student.
**[11:44] Chiba**
Uranari was incredibly strict,
**[11:47] Chiba**
and he often yelled at his subordinates
as the head receptionist.
**[11:52] Uranari**
*Your acting is weak! All of you!*
**[11:55] Uranari**
*You're getting paid, aren't you?*
**[11:57] Uranari**
*Perform your roles thoroughly!*
**[11:59] Uranari**
*Idiots! Fools! Morons!*
**[12:01] Uranari**
*Got it?*
**[12:03] Chiba**
Naturally, everyone working in customer
service strongly disliked him.
**[12:09] Conan**
So that's what it was.
**[12:11] Haibara**
The thing she almost said.
**[12:13] Kogoro**
So they're nothing like their
characters from the novel.
**[12:17] Kogoro**
Inspector, that means the culprit is
one of the good guys from the novel!
**[12:21] Kogoro**
Either Bocchan or Yama Arashi!
**[12:23] Megure**
Stop thinking about the novel already.
**[12:27] Chiba**
But they did have old scores to settle.
**[12:30] Takagi**
We'll have to question
the reception staff, too.
**[12:35] Megure**
All right. Summon them.
**[12:38] Conan**
* Not just Red Shirt, but Bocchan and Yama*
* Arashi had motives for murder, too.*
**[12:56] Mitsuhiko**
The question is their alibis.
**[12:59] Kiyo**
We're lucky you happened to come
stay at my place last night.
**[13:05] Madonna**
We're able to confirm each other's alibis.
**[13:08] Chiba**
It's about your employee...
**[13:10] Akazawa**
Now you think my reception staff did it?
**[13:13] Kogoro**
They have motive as well.
**[13:17] Kogoro**
Just like you.
**[13:20] Megure**
You were able to confirm
theirs, too? Which means...
**[13:26] Megure**
We haven't been able to verify
last night's alibis for...
**[13:29] Megure**
Shima-san, who plays Bocchan.
**[13:31] Megure**
Hotta-san, who plays Yama Arashi.
**[13:34] Megure**
Yoshikawa-san, who plays Nodaiko.
**[13:36] Megure**
You three are the only ones.
**[13:40] Bocchan**
Having an alibi is the bigger miracle.
**[13:43] Yamaarashi**
It was midnight.
**[13:45] Nodaiko**
And we're suspects because
of that? Unbelievable.
**[13:49] Megure**
Indeed. We'll have to question you later.
**[13:54] Kiyo**
You mean we can't leave yet?
**[13:57] Megure**
We appreciate your cooperation.
**[14:03] Chiba**
We received testimony that those
three without alibis hated Uranari.
**[14:10] Megure**
Question everyone.
**[14:11] Megure**
Whether it's those three or Red Shirt,
**[14:14] Megure**
it's possible that someone mentioned
a desire to kill Uranari.
**[14:17] Takagi**
If we can find that...
**[14:18] Kogoro**
Allow me to help.
**[14:21] Conan**
We should split up and help, too.
**[14:25] Nodaiko**
You think I hated Uranari-kun?
**[14:30] Conan**
He was hard on you, wasn't he?
**[14:32] Nodaiko**
My wife left me.
**[14:35] Nodaiko**
She left me with massive amounts of debt.
**[14:38] Nodaiko**
I have no choice but to work as hard
as I can in order to pay it off.
**[14:42] Conan**
What I'm asking about is—
**[14:43] Nodaiko**
But that damn Uranari.
**[14:46] Nodaiko**
He hurled abuse at me for my weak acting!
**[14:49] Nodaiko**
Who the hell does he think I'm playing?
**[14:54] Nodaiko**
No adult man wants to play this role!
**[14:59] Conan**
*He really is nothing like his role.*
**[15:02] Bocchan**
My mom croaked last year.
**[15:05] Bocchan**
She was complaining until the end.
**[15:08] Bocchan**
She said I was trash who could never
hold down a job for very long.
**[15:12] Bocchan**
So I'm clinging to this job
to get back at my dead mom.
**[15:17] Bocchan**
But that damn Uranari!
**[15:18] Bocchan**
He tells us to act, but there
are limits to what a man can do!
**[15:22] Bocchan**
Besides, I don't care about justice.
**[15:29] Yamaarashi**
My mother still sends me encouraging letters.
**[15:34] Yamaarashi**
She says if I wish hard enough for
something, my dreams will come true.
**[15:37] Yamaarashi**
So I asked Uranari countless times
**[15:41] Yamaarashi**
to let me play Madonna
instead of Yama Arashi.
**[15:46] Yamaarashi**
But he never listened!
**[15:52] Tanuki**
Those three certainly hated Uranari-kun,
**[15:56] Tanuki**
but I doubt they had the guts to kill him.
**[15:59] Mitsuhiko**
The guts?
**[16:01] Genta**
Anyway, this sure is good.
**[16:03] Tanuki**
Locust tsukudani is our specialty.
**[16:07] Genta**
So it's a fish called locust.
**[16:09] Mitsuhiko**
It's not fish. They're grasshoppers.
**[16:12] Genta**
Grasshoppers?!
**[16:13] Kiyo**
Even if you don't like your
role, you just have to do it.
**[16:17] Kiyo**
Everyone was scouted for their specific role.
**[16:20] Haibara**
You were scouted, too?
**[16:23] Kiyo**
Based solely on my appearance.
**[16:28] Kiyo**
After all, I'm nothing like Kiyo-san either.
**[16:38] Madonna**
I'm just happy to have a job here.
**[16:41] Ayumi**
Well, everyone would want to play Madonna-san.
**[16:45] Madonna**
That's not what I meant.
I had a younger sister.
**[16:49] Madonna**
She loved the novel "Bocchan."
**[16:51] Madonna**
When she learned about this restaurant,
she said she wanted to work here.
**[16:56] Madonna**
But six months ago, she died from an
illness called subarachnoid hemorrhaging.
**[17:04] Madonna**
I thought I could work here in her
place, so I asked them to hire me.
**[17:09] Ayumi**
So you carried out your sister's wish.
**[17:13] Madonna**
But maybe it was a mistake.
**[17:17] Madonna**
If me working here caused a murder, then...
**[17:30] Akazawa**
I guess there's no need to keep
up the act in front of a child.
**[17:34] Akazawa**
Naturally, I knew that
everyone hated Uranari-kun.
**[17:40] Akazawa**
But you need people like
that to manage a business.
**[17:47] Akazawa**
Because he understood that,
he played the unlikable role.
**[17:52] Conan**
So he was an ideal business partner.
**[17:56] Conan**
But it's true that you were
romantic rivals, right?
**[18:01] Akazawa**
Opening Bocchan Restaurant has
been my dream since I was young.
**[18:04] Akazawa**
I worked really hard to
gather enough capital.
**[18:08] Akazawa**
I never experienced love or marriage.
**[18:11] Akazawa**
I can't believe I developed
a romantic rivalry at my age.
**[18:29] Haibara**
We didn't find anything conclusive.
**[18:33] Conan**
Is the culprit one of
those three or Red Shirt?
**[18:39] Conan**
We'll figure it out tomorrow.
**[18:44] Conan**
*However, the next day...*
**[18:58] Megure**
"I offer my own death as an
apology to the man I killed."
**[19:02] Takagi**
Inspector, this was found on
the altar in Red Shirt's home!
**[19:07] Megure**
That's probably the weapon
used in Uranari's murder.
**[19:12] Megure**
After killing his romantic rival Uranari,
**[19:15] Megure**
he realized he couldn't escape his
guilt, so he took his own life.
**[19:19] Kogoro**
I knew from the start that
the culprit was Red Shirt.
**[19:24] Megure**
Who started saying it was Bocchan and
Yama Arashi during the investigation?
**[19:29] Genta**
So it was Red Shirt.
**[19:32] Ayumi**
It must be hard for her.
**[19:35] Madonna**
It's my fault...
**[19:37] Mitsuhiko**
You mean she thinks it's because she was
trying to fulfill her sister's wish.
**[19:43] Haibara**
You don't seem satisfied.
**[19:46] Conan**
If he really did it,
**[19:48] Conan**
then why leave the murder
weapon on the altar?
**[19:51] Mitsuhiko**
Maybe he disposed of it initially,
**[19:53] Mitsuhiko**
but once he decided to kill himself,
he left it there by way of apology.
**[19:57] Conan**
And why didn't he write his
note on a piece of paper?
**[20:01] Haibara**
Because their handwriting would give it away.
**[20:03] Mitsuhiko**
You mean Red Shirt's death wasn't a suicide?
**[20:06] Both**
What?!
**[20:07] Conan**
I'm saying it's possible that it was faked.
**[20:10] Conan**
They knocked him out and
hanged him by the neck.
**[20:14] Conan**
Then they fabricated a suicide note
**[20:16] Conan**
and placed the murder weapon on the altar
**[20:19] Conan**
to frame Red Shirt for the
murder of Uranari-san.
**[20:23] Haibara**
It's possible.
**[20:24] Conan**
If that's true, then they
must have left some evidence.
**[20:32] Conan**
It's damp?
**[20:34] Conan**
There are drops of water on the leaves
of the branch beneath it, too.
**[20:38] Conan**
His hair and clothes are wet, too.
**[20:40] Conan**
Why?
**[20:42] Kogoro**
He just got out of the bath.
**[20:44] Kogoro**
You're getting in the way of
the adults! Get out of here!
**[20:48] Mitsuhiko**
If Conan-kun is right, then the
culprit is one of those three.
**[20:53] Genta**
It could be Yama Arashi.
**[20:54] Genta**
He's big, so he could've carried Red Shirt.
**[20:58] Conan**
We still don't know that
the suicide was faked.
**[21:01] Ayumi**
If he could speak to us, we could
ask him who the culprit is.
**[21:07] Haibara**
I wonder if he's all right.
**[21:10] Ayumi**
I'm glad he'll live, but...
**[21:13] Haibara**
He was beaten all over, and
two of his legs were broken.
**[21:17] Conan**
Then it couldn't have been possible.
**[21:19] Mitsuhiko**
What's impossible?
**[21:23] Genta**
What's gotten into you?
**[21:25] Conan**
You found that cat here, right?
**[21:27] Ayumi**
He was meowing under there.
**[21:30] Conan**
Bocchan Restaurant is pretty far from here.
**[21:32] Conan**
A cat with two broken legs couldn't
have traveled that distance.
**[21:37] Haibara**
You mean...?
**[21:39] Conan**
Yeah.
**[21:39] Conan**
That cat was attacked not at
Bocchan Restaurant, but near here.
**[21:44] Mitsuhiko**
So, what?
**[21:50] Haibara**
Edogawa-kun!
**[21:52] Conan**
It's a bloodstain. What's that?
**[21:54] Conan**
That cat's fur is stuck to it.
**[21:57] Conan**
The crime actually took
place here two nights ago!
**[22:08] Conan**
*It's clear now.*
**[22:10] Conan**
*Red Shirt didn't kill Uranari-san.*
**[22:14] Conan**
And Red Shirt's suicide was
also a disguised murder!

**[23:45] Bocchan**
What's with the weird phrasing?
**[23:47] Yamaarashi**
You think we did it?
**[23:49] Megure**
Judging by the strength of the
force applied to his neck,
**[23:52] Megure**
we believe it was applied by a third party.
**[23:58] Conan**
* A powerful force was applied*
* to his neck? That means...*
**[24:01] Bocchan**
Are you serious?
**[24:03] Nodaiko**
There's no way we'd kill the boss!
