**[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!
