[00:00] ---
    Encounters are mysterious!
    But cases are even more so!
[00:04] ---
    I'm so glad I'm with you!
[00:06] ---
    Today is the pottery
    case solution!
[00:08] ---
    There are no cracks
    in Conan's logic!
[00:10] ---
    He sees the single
    truth for what it is,
[00:12] ---
    and looks like a kid but
    has the mind of an adult!
[00:14] ---
    His name? Detective Conan!
[01:52] ---
    Kikuemon-san, a potter and
    living national treasure,
[01:55] ---
    invited me, Ran, and the old
    guy to his home in West Tama.
[02:00] ---
    Before long,
    an incident occurred!
[02:03] ---
    Masuko-san broke Kikuemon-san's
    latest work, the Fusui-maru!
[02:09] ---
    That night, during a get-together,
    Masuko-san became very drunk.
[02:14] ---
    The following
    morning in the storeroom...
[02:20] ---
    ...she was hanged to death!
[02:24] ---
    "The Famous Potter Murder Case (Part 2)."
[02:31] ---
    Were you really all
    together in the stateroom?
[02:35] ---
    Y-Yes. The only one who left
    was Otani, who went to wake her.
[02:40] ---
    Right?
[02:40] ---
    Eh?
[02:41] ---
    Don't tell me you pretended to
    wake her and hung her in her sleep!
[02:46] ---
    N-No! I was only gone for a moment!
[02:50] ---
    Her room is only two
    over from the stateroom!
[02:54] ---
    Is this true?
[02:55] ---
    Yes.
[02:56] ---
    I think he was gone
    for less than ten seconds.
[02:59] ---
    He couldn't have done
    anything in such a short time...
[03:03] ---
    Did anyone else leave?
[03:04] ---
    Well, I left for a
    short moment to call her.
[03:08] ---
    We thought she
    had gone somewhere.
[03:10] ---
    I didn't really leave, though;
[03:12] ---
    I only called her cell phone from
    the phone in the connecting hallway.
[03:18] ---
    That's strange. She's not answering.
[03:21] ---
    Cell phone? Hers?
[03:24] ---
    That's right. I had Masuko-*san
    *always carry a cell phone.
[03:30] ---
    She was in charge of everything else,
[03:33] ---
    so that we could focus
    on making our works.
[03:37] ---
    What is "everything else"?
[03:39] ---
    Things like business transactions
    and scheduling exhibitions.
[03:42] ---
    So our master very rarely goes anywhere.
[03:45] ---
    But that's odd. We didn't
    find a cell phone by her body.
[03:51] ---
    Oh, a cell phone was
    found in the victim's room.
[03:56] ---
    It was apparently under her futon...
[04:00] ---
    Under her futon?
[04:04] ---
    She always put it under her
    pillow and used it as an alarm clock.
[04:09] ---
    The cell phone
    was apparently turned off.
[04:13] ---
    I see. So that's why a call from just
    the other room wouldn't be heard.
[04:20] ---
    So, did anyone else leave the room?
[04:23] ---
    No, no one else.
[04:25] ---
    No one...
[04:26] ---
    Not that I know of.
[04:28] ---
    Then who could have carried
    her in here and killed her?
[04:33] ---
    Assuming she was found
    right after she was hanged,
[04:36] ---
    everyone has an alibi
    of being in the stateroom.
[04:39] ---
    That's what I'm saying!
    It was a suicide!
[04:43] ---
    Her feet were bare because she
    was upset and about to kill herself,
[04:49] ---
    and her feet weren't dirty because
    she used the stepping stones
[04:52] ---
    between the house
    and the storeroom.
[04:55] ---
    Plus, she had broken the
    Fusui-maru in this storeroom.
[05:00] ---
    I can imagine her seeing
    the storeroom when she woke up
[05:04] ---
    and walking in without too much thought.
[05:07] ---
    That's true. The rope was used
    in this storeroom for packing things.
[05:13] ---
    Plus we all heard the pot
    break at the same time.
[05:18] ---
    In any case, we won't make any progress
[05:21] ---
    until we examine the
    storeroom in more detail.
[05:24] ---
    I ask that you all wait in the
    stateroom for the time being.
[05:28] ---
    Please don't do
    anything without permission.
[05:33] ---
    Suicide? Is that really what it was?
[05:38] ---
    Still, too many things
    are out of the ordinary.
[05:41] ---
    The open cut on her right leg...
[05:45] ---
    Her unusual lack of footwear
    and the clean bottoms of her feet...
[05:50] ---
    And...
[05:53] ---
    ...this marble I found by the broken
    Fusui-maru the day before...
[05:58] ---
    And what's the other thing?!
[06:01] ---
    Something I saw at the
    scene of the crime is bugging me!
[06:05] ---
    Alright, you!
[06:07] ---
    Oh, just a marble.
[06:09] ---
    Only kids would be
    interested in junk like that.
[06:14] ---
    Oh no!
[06:16] ---
    Gimme a break, old guy!
[06:27] ---
    Huh?! What the--?!
[06:28] ---
    Hold on, Conan-kun! Where do
    you think you're going?! Stop!
[06:33] ---
    What's that?
[06:36] ---
    Lipstick?
[06:38] ---
    I didn't put it there...
[06:43] ---
    What is lipstick doing here?
[06:47] ---
    Wait a minute!
[06:48] ---
    H-Hold on!
[06:49] ---
    W-Wait! S-Stop!
[06:51] ---
    Where are you going, Conan-kun?!
[06:53] ---
    The thing that bugged me...
[06:58] ---
    Could it be?!
[07:02] ---
    What is it?
[07:03] ---
    I forgot something.
[07:05] ---
    Maybe so, but you
    can't just barge in here.
[07:07] ---
    Huh? Where's the lady's body?
[07:09] ---
    Taken to the police hospital.
[07:11] ---
    Oh?
[07:15] ---
    Yes! This is it!
[07:18] ---
    I finally found a trace
    that the killer failed to hide!
[07:23] ---
    The fact it's here
    means that up above is...
[07:31] ---
    Just as I thought!
[07:33] ---
    Using this method, you wouldn't
    need to be in the room to kill her!
[07:41] ---
    But to ensure she would die,
    it would have to be around there...
[07:48] ---
    Alright!
[07:52] ---
    H-Hey! What are you doing! Come down!
[07:55] ---
    I told you, I'm looking
    for something I forgot!
[07:59] ---
    We just checked that area,
    but there was nothing out of the ordinary!
[08:02] ---
    Now come down! It's dangerous!
[08:05] ---
    Yeah. Doesn't seem to
    be anything but pottery here...
[08:16] ---
    Interesting! That's a potter for you!
[08:21] ---
    Come down this minute!
[08:23] ---
    Okay!
[08:24] ---
    Which means one
    of those two is the killer...
[08:29] ---
    ...but it's probably that one.
[08:32] ---
    He laid a trap for her and killed
    her to make it look like a suicide...
[08:36] ---
    And only he would
    still have proof of it on him!
[08:48] ---
    Alright! I know who did it and how!
[08:51] ---
    The question now is
    how to tell Inspector Megure...
[08:55] ---
    Umm, how long do we
    have to stay in the stateroom?
[08:59] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry!
    We'll still be a little while longer!
[09:04] ---
    Could we get something to eat?
    We haven't eaten at all today...
[09:08] ---
    I'd like to change clothes, too...
[09:10] ---
    Oh, that should be fine,
    as long as you tell my men first!
[09:14] ---
    No! If they do that,
    the evidence'll be gone!
[09:18] ---
    Evidence?
[09:20] ---
    Shut up, you stupid kid!
[09:22] ---
    Dad!
[09:23] ---
    Evidence, my butt! This was
    a suicide! There was no killer!
[09:29] ---
    Right, Inspector?
[09:31] ---
    Y-Yes...
[09:32] ---
    Ouch...
[09:34] ---
    Guess I'll just have to knock him
    out with this stun-gun wristwatch...
[09:38] ---
    Say! I found the thing
    you were talking about earlier!
[09:43] ---
    W-What thing?
[09:45] ---
    You don't care if I say it
    out loud for everyone to hear?
[09:48] ---
    Huh?!
[09:49] ---
    Here, listen.
[09:50] ---
    As I was saying,
    earlier, you told me...
[10:02] ---
    Now I'll just put the
    button speaker on his collar...
[10:07] ---
    Oh! You found it! Well done!
[10:12] ---
    Hold on. Just what did you find?
[10:16] ---
    Evidence that the killer failed
    to hide completely, of course!
[10:20] ---
    K-Killer?! Are you saying--?!
[10:23] ---
    Yes. She didn't commit
    suicide at all. She was murdered.
[10:28] ---
    By someone here, in fact.
[10:33] ---
    Oh! This should be interesting!
[10:36] ---
    It's an honor to watch the great
    Sleeping Kogoro at work firsthand!
[10:41] ---
    Mori-kun! If the body
    was found right after she died,
[10:45] ---
    these people couldn't
    possibly have done it!
[10:48] ---
    Besides, you were the one
    who insisted it was a suicide!
[10:51] ---
    That was a lie meant
    to throw the killer off guard.
[10:54] ---
    Because we wouldn't want the
    evidence to be destroyed, after all.
[10:58] ---
    Again, just what is this evidence?!
[11:02] ---
    Blood, Inspector!
[11:03] ---
    Blood?
[11:04] ---
    Yeah! Kogoro-ojisan asked me to
    look for strange blood on the floor!
[11:10] ---
    Strange blood?
[11:11] ---
    See? He must've meant blood like this!
[11:18] ---
    W-What is this?!
[11:21] ---
    You carried the body over here, right?
[11:23] ---
    Yes. We thought she might still be alive.
[11:27] ---
    I had her arms and Seto had her legs
[11:30] ---
    when we set her down in the corner.
[11:32] ---
    Right?
[11:33] ---
    Yeah.
[11:35] ---
    If so, then this really is strange.
[11:38] ---
    What's the deal with that blood?
[11:40] ---
    I think blood dripped from
    the body when we were carrying it...
[11:46] ---
    No, not all of the blood was from then.
[11:51] ---
    It's hard to tell, since
    it's mixed with other blood,
[11:54] ---
    but there's something else here.
[11:55] ---
    S-Something else?
[11:58] ---
    The shape that drops
    of human blood make
[12:01] ---
    is pretty much determined
    by how far they fall.
[12:05] ---
    The farther the fall,
    the larger the circle,
[12:08] ---
    and the more developed
    the surrounding splatter is.
[12:11] ---
    If you had carried
    her by her arms and legs,
[12:14] ---
    the distance from her toenails
    to the floor was 50 cm at best.
[12:18] ---
    However, these blood drops
    clearly fell more than a meter.
[12:23] ---
    The fact that such blood is here...
[12:26] ---
    Are you saying she
    was on top of this shelf?
[12:30] ---
    But why?
[12:32] ---
    Could it be?!
[12:34] ---
    Yes. The killer had carried her
    to the top of the shelf last night...
[12:42] ---
    ...where she slept, with a rope around
    her neck, tied to the roof beam.
[12:48] ---
    That way, when she woke in the morning,
    she would lose her balance,
[12:52] ---
    fall from the shelf,
    and wind up hanging herself.
[12:58] ---
    The loud sound right
    after she was hanged
[13:01] ---
    was from the pots
    left directly below the noose.
[13:07] ---
    Being hanged from that height
    would result in an almost instant death.
[13:12] ---
    The broken pots would then look
    like a stepstool she had overturned.
[13:20] ---
    Of course, this was also meant
    to hasten the body's discovery
[13:24] ---
    and solidify the alibi of
    the killer inside the stateroom.
[13:28] ---
    Then what about
    the cut on her right calf?
[13:32] ---
    Look closely at the top of the shelf.
    Do you see a protruding nail?
[13:37] ---
    Yes, I do.
[13:39] ---
    When she lost her balance and fell,
    she likely cut her calf on that nail.
[13:47] ---
    The blood landed on a
    different spot on the floor
[13:50] ---
    probably because she had held
    on to the shelf for a few seconds.
[13:53] ---
    Meaning she just happened
    to get the cut on her calf?
[13:58] ---
    Yes. It wasn't part of the killer's plan.
[14:02] ---
    He was probably quite
    shocked when he saw her cut.
[14:07] ---
    But the killer would've quickly
    discovered the cause of it,
[14:12] ---
    as well as the blood right by the shelf.
[14:14] ---
    Even if the body swung, the shelf
    would still have been too far away.
[14:21] ---
    Fearing his trick would be
    figured out if this blood was found,
[14:27] ---
    the killer directed the others
    carrying her body to the blood
[14:33] ---
    to try to hide it with new blood.
[14:35] ---
    Isn't that right, the one
    who left last night's party
[14:40] ---
    to carry her to the storeroom
    and set up this trick...
[14:46] ---
    ...Seto Ryuichi-san?!
[14:49] ---
    S-Seto?! Don't tell me it was you?!
[14:54] ---
    Hold on, now! I wasn't the
    only one who left during the party!
[15:00] ---
    Besides, why would
    I do something so daring
[15:02] ---
    with a great detective
    like you around?!
[15:05] ---
    You had no other choice.
[15:08] ---
    Because she had
    broken the Fusui-maru.
[15:11] ---
    Wasn't it you who put a
    marble under the Fusui-maru
[15:16] ---
    to make it easy to fall?
[15:18] ---
    To make this murder look
    like a suicide that she committed
[15:21] ---
    because of her own
    mishandling of things?!
[15:24] ---
    I get it.
[15:26] ---
    If she was in charge
    of selling these works,
[15:29] ---
    she would've been the one
    who stored and removed them here.
[15:33] ---
    So she was bound
    to drop it eventually.
[15:36] ---
    Moreover, she fell
    asleep drunk during the party.
[15:40] ---
    Last night was the perfect chance.
[15:43] ---
    Please knock this off! You shouldn't
    blame me without any proof...
[15:48] ---
    Actually, I believe
    you're still wearing the proof.
[15:53] ---
    Now then, Inspector!
    Please lift up the back of his jacket!
[16:04] ---
    What's this?!
[16:05] ---
    Lipstick?!
[16:07] ---
    That most likely got there while
    you were carrying her up the shelf.
[16:13] ---
    You'd have to carry her on your
    shoulders to use the ladder, after all.
[16:17] ---
    And then you returned to the stateroom,
    as if nothing had happened.
[16:23] ---
    You had left the party to carry
    her here before she sobered up!
[16:31] ---
    Have a look at the sitting
    cushions in the stateroom.
[16:34] ---
    One has a bit of the lipstick
    he brought back with him.
[16:38] ---
    Come on, now!
    Yes, this might be her lipstick.
[16:44] ---
    But maybe she just
    happened to touch my back
[16:49] ---
    while she was
    sleeping during the party.
[16:53] ---
    I was drunk last night,
    so I don't really remember,
[16:56] ---
    but can you say
    that isn't a possibility?
[16:59] ---
    Oh?
[17:00] ---
    You leave me no choice then.
    I'll show my trump card.
[17:04] ---
    Hey, Conan!
    Show 'em what you found.
[17:08] ---
    C-Conan-kun!
[17:10] ---
    Here it is, mister!
[17:12] ---
    Conan-kun! That's dangerous!
[17:15] ---
    Huh?
[17:23] ---
    W-What the--?!
[17:25] ---
    A cell phone!
[17:28] ---
    What's this doing inside a pot?!
[17:31] ---
    To make sure this murder
    worked as planned.
[17:35] ---
    Even if she was atop a narrow shelf,
[17:38] ---
    there'd be no guarantee
    she'd lose her balance.
[17:41] ---
    But it'd be a different story
    if a phone under her pillow rang.
[17:45] ---
    In that situation, most people
    would reach out without thinking.
[17:49] ---
    Even more so if she used
    her cell phone as an alarm clock.
[17:54] ---
    Yes. Seto-san placed that
    pot in the shelf directly under her
[18:01] ---
    and had the cell phone in this
    special double-bottomed pot ring.
[18:12] ---
    Checking the cell phone's
    number should make it immediately clear
[18:17] ---
    that it belongs to Seto-san.
[18:28] ---
    Tell me, detective.
    How did you know it was me?
[18:35] ---
    Yes, I made the call. But Otani
    could have too when he left the room!
[18:40] ---
    That's right.
[18:42] ---
    I thought so too when Conan
    found the pot with the phone in it.
[18:46] ---
    Then how?!
[18:47] ---
    After all, when you tried
    to call her, you said this:
[18:52] ---
    That's strange. She's not answering.
[18:55] ---
    But her cell phone had
    been turned off when it was found.
[19:02] ---
    The cell phone was
    apparently turned off.
[19:05] ---
    In such cases,
    a cell phone would reply
[19:09] ---
    by saying that it is either
    turned off or out of signal range.
[19:17] ---
    My suspicion was confirmed
    once I remembered that.
[19:21] ---
    My suspicion that when you called,
    you called a different number.
[19:26] ---
    I see. I guess I should've said
    I couldn't get through to her phone.
[19:31] ---
    But I can't believe you'd destroy
    Master's Fusui-maru to kill her!
[19:38] ---
    That thing can turn
    to dust for all I care.
[19:43] ---
    After all, it's a counterfeit
    copy I made of the real Fusui-maru.
[19:50] ---
    C-Counterfeit?!
[19:52] ---
    Yeah. The real one is
    stored in a different location.
[20:01] ---
    Still, even though it broke,
    to think I could fool even her eyes...
[20:07] ---
    My skill has really come far.
[20:11] ---
    Though that's why she sold
    my works for high prices, of course.
[20:16] ---
    H-High prices?!
[20:17] ---
    You don't mean--?!
[20:19] ---
    Yeah.
[20:21] ---
    She took my works and sold
    them to rich, artistic know-nothings,
[20:26] ---
    claiming they were Master's works!
[20:29] ---
    W-What?!
[20:31] ---
    By the time I realized it,
    she had already sold several dozen.
[20:34] ---
    I questioned her about it, of course,
[20:36] ---
    but she not only didn't apologize...
[20:39] ---
    You should be thankful
    more than anything.
[20:42] ---
    I'm actually selling the
    unoriginal junk that you make!
[20:54] ---
    Wait, does that mean
    your recent slump was--?
[20:57] ---
    Yeah! It was on purpose!
[20:59] ---
    I didn't want to harm
    Master's name any further...
[21:04] ---
    But she threatened to kick
    me out if I didn't keep making stuff!
[21:07] ---
    I couldn't put
    up with it anymore, so...
[21:10] ---
    Y-You fool!
[21:26] ---
    Why didn't you tell
    Master about it?! Surely he--
[21:31] ---
    I couldn't.
[21:33] ---
    I couldn't tell him my fakes sold
    for more than his authentic works...
[21:44] ---
    Let's go.
[23:28] ---
    Oh! So that's the
    cup worth 10 million yen?!
[23:33] ---
    I don't know. It doesn't
    seem that valuable to me...
[23:37] ---
    Appearances don't always
    match what's on the inside.
[23:40] ---
    Hot!
[23:47] ---
    Gotcha!
[23:54] ---
    In his case, his appearance does
    match what's on the inside...
[24:01] ---
    First love?
[24:04] ---
    Crap!
[24:06] ---
    Asami-senpai was Shinichi's first love?
[24:11] ---
    The villa is on fire!
[24:14] ---
    No way!
[24:15] ---
    But she's still inside...
[24:18] ---
    Asami-senpai is still inside!
[24:23] ---
    Senpai!
[24:25] ---
    On the next Conan: "The Memories of
    First Love Case (Part 1)."
[24:47] ---
    Next Conan's hint:
[24:49] ---
    Lemon pie.
[24:51] ---
    What does your first love taste like?
[24:53] ---
    Eel bowls.
[24:54] ---
    Seriously?
