**[00:01] Girl**
Are we really doing this?
**[00:03] Girl**
Yeah. After all, she's bad news.
**[00:06] Girl**
If we're doing this, now's our chance.
**[00:08] Girl**
But if someone finds out,
we'll both be arrested.
**[00:12] Girl**
Nah. Our alibis are perfect, and
I'll be the one to finish her off.
**[00:17] Girl**
Got it. Let's do it, then.
**[00:24] Sonoko**

It's fine. We're much obliged to your father.

Here you are.
**[01:28] Both**
Thank you.
**[01:30] Yasuda**
Sonoko-san, if you'd only asked, we would
have set aside some limited products for you.
**[01:35] Sonoko**
That's not good enough.
**[01:37] Sonoko**
I have to get it myself in order to—
**[01:39] Mina**
Ayaka-chan, hurry up and move some stuff.
**[01:42] Ayaka**
What? But I just painted my nails.
**[01:47] Ayaka**
See?

***SIGN*** The Feuding Girls
**[03:50] Conan**
"The Feuding Girls!"
**[03:56] Mai**
You knew from the start that
we'd be carrying stuff.
**[04:00] Ayaka**
Sorry, but I won an
audition for a commercial.
**[04:04] Ayaka**
I need to look pretty.
**[04:07] Ayaka**
Mai, you were rejected, weren't you?
**[04:09] Ayaka**
That's too bad.
**[04:11] Mina**
Ayaka-chan!
**[04:12] Ayaka**
Oh, please. You're both scowling.
**[04:18] Mina**
Mai?
**[04:25] Yuko**
I'll leave this stuff here.
**[04:27] Yuko**
Ayaka-san, help carry something.
**[04:30] Ayaka**
Mina-san, can I take tomorrow off?
**[04:34] Ayaka**
I'd like to practice for my commercial.
**[04:36] Mina**
Hold on. You can't suddenly
ask for the day off.
**[04:40] Mina**
Right, Yuko-chan?
**[04:42] Yuko**
She's right.
**[04:43] Yuko**
And besides, if you work hard on this job,
**[04:45] Yuko**
you might get an even better offer next time.
**[04:48] Mina**
That's right.
**[04:49] Ayaka**
But wouldn't trying hard on the commercial
get me an even better job than this one?
**[04:55] Mina**
Ayaka, are you making fun of this job?
**[04:58] Yuko**
Mina-san!
**[04:59] Ayaka**
Yeah, yeah.
**[05:02] Ayaka**
I get it.
**[05:05] Yuko**
Ayaka-san, you're acting
a little strange today.
**[05:09] Yuko**
Try to be more considerate of the others.
**[05:10] Mai**
Just ignore her.
**[05:12] Mai**
She doesn't want to do this
tough low-paying job anymore.
**[05:16] Yuko**
But...
**[05:20] Ayaka**
What are you doing?
**[05:22] Ayaka**
Jeez, you're clumsy.
**[05:24] Mai**
Ayaka! You did that on purpose, didn't you?
**[05:27] Ayaka**
What? On purpose?
**[05:29] Ayaka**
How could you say that?
**[05:29] Mai**
Don't be ridiculous!
**[05:31] Ayaka**
Ow! What was that for?
**[05:35] Yuko**
Please stop, both of you!
**[05:38] Yuko**
Let's try to get along while we're
working on this campaign, okay?
**[05:42] Ayaka**
God, you're so annoying!
**[05:49] Yuko**
I-I'm sorry!
**[05:51] Yuko**
Did we get any on you?
**[05:53] Sonoko**
I'm fine.
**[05:55] Yuko**
I'm really sorry.
**[06:17] Ran**
The limited products go on sale soon, Sonoko.
**[06:20] Sonoko**
Yeah. It was worth standing
in line for thirty minutes.
**[06:25] Sonoko**
What are you spacing out for?
**[06:28] Conan**
Ow!
**[06:34] Sonoko**
What was that?
**[06:39] Conan**
What's wrong?
**[06:40] Mai**
A-Ayaka is...
**[06:51] Conan**
She's gone.
**[06:52] Mai**
No way. Ayaka?
**[06:55] Conan**
*Did she fall from there?*
**[06:57] Sonoko**
What is it, kid?
**[06:58] Ran**
Conan-kun?
**[07:00] Conan**
Call the police, Ran-neechan.
**[07:03] Ran**
Okay.
**[07:07] Conan**
*What's this?*
**[07:13] Takagi**
The estimated time of death is around 2:30PM.
**[07:16] Takagi**
This storage room within a shopping
mall where the crime took place
**[07:19] Takagi**
happens to be under construction.
**[07:21] Takagi**
The victim Saijo Ayaka-san seems to have
fallen from the construction scaffolding.
**[07:26] Megure**
I see.
**[07:28] Megure**
Which means this was an accident.
**[07:30] Takagi**
Actually, about that...
**[07:32] Takagi**
There were signs that the scaffolding the
victim fell from had been tampered with.
**[07:36] Megure**
What? Which means this could be a murder?
**[07:41] Takagi**
Yes, sir.
**[07:45] Megure**
And? Who are these three?
**[07:48] Takagi**
They're colleagues of the late Ayaka-san.
**[07:51] Takagi**
Fukamoto Mai-san discovered the body.
**[07:54] Megure**
I see. Could you describe the circumstances
under which you found her?
**[07:57] Conan**
Come to think of it, everyone
was arguing with Ayaka-san.
**[08:01] Ran**
Hey, Conan-kun!
**[08:03] Takagi**
Is that true, Ran-san?
**[08:05] Ran**
Yes, I suppose.
**[08:07] Megure**
I see.
**[08:09] Mai**
Please don't do this.
**[08:10] Mai**
It's true that we argued with Ayaka.
**[08:13] Mina**
But it's not possible.
**[08:15] Mina**
We wouldn't kill Ayaka.
**[08:16] Yuko**
Th-That's right.
**[08:18] Megure**
Then where were you around
2:30PM when Ayaka-san died?
**[08:23] Mina**
Well...
**[08:25] Yuko**
I was...
**[08:26] Yuko**
I was here preparing for the sale
this afternoon along with the staff.
**[08:33] Megure**
And? What about you two?
**[08:36] Mina**
I was actually skipping work to watch
the concert going on in the event space.
**[08:42] Mai**
Mina-san...
**[08:43] Mina**
Sorry.
**[08:45] Megure**
I see.
**[08:46] Megure**
What about you?
**[08:51] Takagi**
Actually, we found this in the
garbage can in the hallway.
**[08:57] Megure**
"Dear Mai, sorry about
earlier. I got carried away."
**[09:01] Megure**
"I'd like to apologize, so please come to
floor 2, section 3 of the storage room around 3PM."
**[09:05] Megure**
"From Ayaka."
**[09:08] Mai**
Th-That's...
**[09:11] Takagi**
Also, we also found this at the crime scene.
**[09:17] Yuko**
That's Mai-san's...
**[09:19] Megure**
Are you certain this is yours?
**[09:22] Mai**
Y-Yes, b-but...
**[09:25] Sonoko**
Is this what happened, then?
**[09:27] Sonoko**
Mai-san received a letter from Ayaka-san
saying she wanted to apologize.
**[09:32] Sonoko**
She secretly went to the storage
room and broke the scaffolding.
**[09:36] Sonoko**
Then she feigned innocence and met Ayaka-san
on the second floor of the storage room.
**[09:44] Sonoko**
But she dropped her brooch then.
**[09:46] Mai**
You're wrong!
**[09:47] Mai**
I didn't do that!
**[09:50] Mai**
It's true that I went to the storage room.
**[09:52] Mai**
Ayaka said she wanted to apologize...
**[09:54] Mai**
But I didn't do it!
**[09:56] Mai**
By the time I went, Ayaka was already dead!
**[10:00] Mai**
You have to believe me!
**[10:25] Ran**
Don't do that, Conan-kun.
**[10:27] Ran**
You shouldn't wander around the crime scene.
**[10:29] Conan**
Sorry.
**[10:30] Conan**
Ran-neechan, doesn't this
seem the other way around?
**[10:34] Ran**
The other way around?
**[10:35] Conan**
Yeah. It was Ayaka-san who
asked Mai-san to come here.
**[10:39] Conan**
But Mai-san is thought to have
tampered with the scaffolding.
**[10:44] Conan**
Normally wouldn't the person who did
the tampering invite their victim here?
**[10:51] Ran**
Now that you mention it, you're right.
**[10:53] Ran**
But that would mean...
**[10:56] Ran**
That marks where Mai-san's
brooch fell, right?
**[11:00] Conan**
Yeah, probably.
**[11:02] Ran**
But if it's the other way around, then...
**[11:04] Conan**
Watch out!
**[11:12] Conan**
Are you okay, Ran-neechan?
**[11:14] Ran**
Yeah. Thanks, Conan-kun.
**[11:19] Conan**
That was close.
**[11:21] Conan**
The belt holding it in place is loose.
**[11:26] Conan**
*What's this?*
**[11:32] Conan**
*That's Ayaka-san's...*
**[11:35] Ran**
Did you find something?
**[11:37] Conan**
Yeah.
**[11:37] Tashiro**
Hey, you!
**[11:40] Tashiro**
You can't come in here! It's off limits!
**[11:43] Ran**
Sorry.
**[11:44] Conan**
Hey, mister.
**[11:46] Conan**
The belt around these boxes is
loose. They're about to fall over.
**[11:49] Tashiro**
It's what?
**[11:51] Tashiro**
Damn it. Must've been those part-timers.
**[11:54] Tashiro**
I'll have to give them a talking to later.
**[11:56] Conan**
Those? There's more than one of them?
**[11:59] Tashiro**
Yeah.
**[12:00] Tashiro**
One of them lifts boxes using that crane,
**[12:03] Tashiro**
and the other stacks and
secures them in place.
**[12:07] Tashiro**
It takes at least two people.
**[12:10] Conan**
*Two people?*
**[12:12] Mai**
I told you, that brooch has been
missing since a few days ago!
**[12:16] Mai**
I've been looking for it!
**[12:17] Takagi**
But you tried to hide the letter.
**[12:21] Mai**
Because I didn't want to become a suspect!
**[12:24] Megure**
I heard you were the runner-up
at an audition for a commercial.
**[12:30] Megure**
If something happened to Ayaka-san...
**[12:32] Mai**
N-No. I didn't do it!
**[12:38] Yuko**
What? You want to confirm my alibi?
**[12:41] Conan**
Yeah. Do you know who Mori Kogoro is?
**[12:45] Conan**
The great detective.
**[12:46] Conan**
He wants to know.
**[12:53] Yamada**
Yuko-chan was in the green
room with me when it happened.
**[12:58] Conan**
So you didn't go to that storage room.
**[13:01] Yuko**
Nope. I haven't been there
once this afternoon.
**[13:05] Mina**
Detective Mori is asking about my alibi?
**[13:08] Conan**
Yeah. You said you went to watch the concert.
**[13:11] Conan**
He was wondering if there was
anyone who could vouch for you.
**[13:15] Mina**
I know the receptionist.
**[13:18] Mina**
You should ask her about it.
**[13:31] Conan**
*They both have alibis.*
**[13:34] Conan**
*I guess it's not related after all.*
**[13:37] Conan**
*But...*
**[13:39] Ran**
Conan-kun, there you are.
**[13:41] Sonoko**
We're leaving.
**[13:43] Conan**
Okay.
**[13:44] Mai**
No. I didn't do it!
**[13:47] Mai**
I didn't push Ayaka!
**[13:49] Takagi**
Now, now. You can tell us
the rest at the station.
**[14:01] Conan**
*I see. So that's how it is.*
**[14:10] Mai**
Please believe me!
**[14:11] Mai**
I really didn't do it!
**[14:13] Megure**
In any case, you can tell us the rest at—
**[14:17] Ran**
Sonoko?
**[14:25] Conan**
Are you okay, Sonoko-neechan?
**[14:29] Sonoko**
I'm fine.
**[14:30] Sonoko**
I'm just feeling a little dizzy
because I figured it all out.
**[14:34] Megure**
What?
**[14:35] Takagi**
Y-You know who did it?
**[14:37] Sonoko**
Yes, that's right.
**[14:38] Sonoko**
In order to confirm my suspicions,
**[14:39] Sonoko**
could you go up to the second floor
where Ayaka-san fell, Detective Takagi?
**[14:46] Megure**
What are you having Takagi-kun confirm?
**[14:49] Sonoko**
There were two tricks set
up inside this storage room.
**[14:53] Megure**
Two tricks?
**[14:55] Sonoko**
The first was applied to the
scaffolding that made Ayaka-san fall.
**[15:01] Sonoko**
And the second was...
**[15:03] Takagi**
Sonoko-san.
**[15:04] Takagi**
I've arrived.
**[15:06] Sonoko**
See the boxes stacked there?
**[15:08] Sonoko**
Don't they seem unsteady,
like they're about to fall over?
**[15:12] Takagi**
You're right. It's dangerous.
**[15:15] Sonoko**
And where was Mai-san's brooch?
**[15:18] Takagi**
In front of the boxes.
**[15:20] Megure**
What about that, Sonoko-kun?
**[15:23] Sonoko**
Detective Takagi, could you look at the
clasp on the belt securing those boxes?
**[15:29] Takagi**
There's some kind of
paint or something on it.
**[15:32] Sonoko**
Is there anything on the floor nearby?
**[15:38] Takagi**
I found something!
**[15:39] Takagi**
What is this?
**[15:43] Takagi**
Is it an artificial nail?
**[15:45] Mai**
That's Ayaka's.
**[15:48] Megure**
The body was missing one of its nails.
**[15:52] Sonoko**
In other words,
**[15:53] Sonoko**
based on what we just confirmed and
Mai-san's testimony relating to her brooch...
**[15:58] Mai**
* I told you, that brooch has been*
* missing since a few days ago!*
**[16:02] Mai**
*I've been looking for it!*
**[16:03] Sonoko**
And in conjunction with the letter
Ayaka-san wrote to Mai-san...
**[16:08] Takagi**
That's it!
**[16:09] Takagi**
Ayaka-san stole Mai-san's
brooch and left it here.
**[16:13] Takagi**
She summoned Mai-san here with that letter
**[16:15] Takagi**
and planned to send her and the scaffolding
crashing to the floor by knocking over the boxes.
**[16:21] Mai**
No...
**[16:23] Mai**
Ayaka was going to kill me?
**[16:25] Megure**
But something made her lose her footing
on the scaffolding she tampered with
**[16:29] Megure**
and she fell.
**[16:31] Sonoko**
Wrong.
**[16:32] Megure**
What?
**[16:33] Takagi**
Th-That's wrong?
**[16:35] Sonoko**
Boxes can't be stacked on the
second floor without two people.
**[16:39] Sonoko**
One lifts the boxes using the crane,
while the other stacks them up.
**[16:44] Sonoko**
In other words, someone
was controlling the crane.
**[16:48] Sonoko**
An evil seal who incited Ayaka-san and
got her caught up in this murder plot.
**[16:54] Megure**
They incited Ayaka-san?
**[16:57] Sonoko**
Yes. For example...
**[16:59] Sonoko**
"She's planning to injure you
and steal your commercial job."
**[17:03] Sonoko**
"She did the same thing to me
before and took one of mine."
**[17:06] Sonoko**
"At this rate, she'll continue to
escalate, and harm the two of us."
**[17:11] Sonoko**
"We should kill Mai-san together."
**[17:14] Sonoko**
Then the evil seal instructed
Ayaka-san to do the following.
**[17:19] Sonoko**
"Write a letter to Mai-san inviting
her to the storage room."
**[17:22] Sonoko**
"Leave this brooch I stole from
her in front of the boxes."
**[17:26] Sonoko**
"Once Mai-san comes to the second floor,
she'll spot her brooch and approach."
**[17:31] Sonoko**
"Then I'll push the boxes onto her
from behind, and she'll fall."
**[17:35] Sonoko**
"It'll look like an accident."
**[17:37] Sonoko**
"During that time,
you'll go fabricate an alibi."
**[17:41] Megure**
I see. But it was Ayaka-san,
not Mai-san, who ended up dead.
**[17:47] Megure**
Something must've made her fall from
the scaffolding she tampered with.
**[17:50] Sonoko**
You're wrong, Inspector Megure.
**[17:53] Sonoko**
It was the evil seal who
tampered with the scaffolding.
**[17:56] Sonoko**
Ayaka-san climbed the scaffolding
without realizing that and fell.
**[18:01] Megure**
What?
**[18:02] Sonoko**
The true goal of this murder
plot was to kill Ayaka-san.
**[18:11] Megure**
But if killing Ayaka-san was their only goal,
**[18:15] Megure**
why bother with this troublesome trick?
**[18:17] Sonoko**
This trick was bait meant
to draw in Ayaka-san.
**[18:22] Megure**
Bait?
**[18:23] Sonoko**
If they had invited Ayaka-san here
with the intention of murdering her,
**[18:26] Sonoko**
it could have left behind evidence,
**[18:29] Sonoko**
or Ayaka-san herself could
have told someone about it.
**[18:34] Sonoko**
But by luring Ayaka-san into
a fake plot to murder Mai-san,
**[18:39] Sonoko**
they didn't have to worry
about her telling anyone.
**[18:42] Sonoko**
Furthermore, the odds that suspicion
would fall on the evil seal
**[18:45] Sonoko**
would be reduced to nearly nothing.
**[18:48] Takagi**
That's it!
**[18:49] Takagi**
The letter to Mai-san was
proof of their quarrel,
**[18:53] Takagi**
and as the first person to discover the
body, suspicion would fall on Mai-san first.
**[18:59] Megure**
And the brooch at the crime scene would seem
like evidence that Mai-san was the culprit.
**[19:07] Megure**
But, Sonoko-kun, how did this
evil seal get Ayaka-san
**[19:10] Megure**
to climb the scaffolding
that had been tampered with?
**[19:15] Sonoko**
Well... Conan-kun?
**[19:17] Conan**
Here.
**[19:20] Conan**
Wow, there are lots of stuffed seals.
**[19:23] Takagi**
Stuffed seals?
**[19:25] Megure**
What about them?
**[19:28] Sonoko**
Those stuffed animals can apparently
be controlled using a smartphone.
**[19:32] Sonoko**
So...
**[19:33] Sonoko**
They told Ayaka-san exactly
when to place the brooch there,
**[19:37] Sonoko**
and at that time...
**[19:49] Yuko**
Excuse me.
**[19:51] Yuko**
In order to control those stuffed animals,
**[19:53] Yuko**
you need to register it on your phone.
**[19:57] Mina**
That's right.
**[19:58] Mina**
The stuffed animals over
there haven't been sold yet,
**[20:01] Mina**
so they can't be controlled using a phone.
**[20:02] Conan**
Huh?
**[20:04] Conan**
This seal has a stain on it.
**[20:07] Conan**
Is it a coffee stain?
**[20:10] Sonoko**
Ran, do you remember what happened
when we were in the green room?
**[20:17] Ayaka**
*God, you're so annoying!*
**[20:23] Mai**
Yuko...
**[20:24] Mina**
Did you...?
**[20:26] Sonoko**
Yuko-san, you said you hadn't
been here once all afternoon.
**[20:32] Sonoko**
So why is that stuffed animal here?
**[20:36] Sonoko**
And if we examine your phone, we'll
find that stuffed animal registered to it.
**[20:43] Yuko**
She stole the man I loved
and tossed him aside.
**[20:50] Yuko**
He killed himself because of it.
**[20:54] Yuko**
So I avenged him.
**[20:58] Mai**
B-But why frame me?
**[21:02] Yuko**
I'm sorry, Mai-san.
**[21:03] Yuko**
It could've been anyone.
**[21:06] Yuko**
Anyone who might've argued with her.
**[21:11] Ayaka**
*Are we really doing this?*
**[21:13] Yuko**
*Yeah. After all, she's bad news.*
**[21:16] Yuko**
*If we're doing this, now's our chance.*
**[21:17] Ayaka**
* But if someone finds out,*
* we'll both be arrested.*
**[21:21] Yuko**
* Nah. Our alibis are perfect, and*
* I'll be the one to finish her off.*
**[21:27] Ayaka**
*Got it. Let's kill Mai, then.*
**[21:31] Yuko**
*First, you'll trip me in front of everyone.*
**[21:35] Ayaka**
*After making Mai angry,*
**[21:38] Ayaka**
* I'll send her a letter*
* saying I want to apologize*
**[21:40] Ayaka**
*and have her come to the storage room.*
**[23:09] Ran**
Here you go.
**[23:10] Ran**
Thank you.
**[23:12] Yasuda**
They're flying off the shelves.
**[23:13] Ran**
Thank you.
**[23:14] Yasuda**
Thank you for even putting
on the idol outfit.
**[23:18] Ran**
Don't worry about it.
**[23:20] Conan**
Impressive as always, Ran-neechan.
**[23:22] Yasuda**
Sonoko-san, thank you for helping, too.
**[23:29] Sonoko**
You're welcome.
**[23:30] Sonoko**
This costume sure is hot.
**[23:32] Conan**
I'm impressed, Detective Queen Sonoko.
**[23:35] Conan**
You look good in anything.
**[23:36] Sonoko**
You're next, kid. Here!
**[23:38] Conan**
Wait, wait, wait!
