[00:00] Sonoko
    Anyway, their donuts are made with soy pulp,
[00:04] Sonoko
    so they're low sugar.
[00:07] Sonoko
    Not only that, but they look amazing.
[00:10] Ran
    But aren't they fried in oil?
[00:13] Ran
    Won't it make us fat?
[00:14] Sonoko
    They've got holes in the
    middle. We'll be fine.
[00:17] Sonoko
    They said they're low calorie
    since they're low sugar.
[00:21] Conan
    Eat too much of anything,
    and you'll still get fat.
[00:24] Sonoko
    We've arrived.
[00:27] Sonoko
    Well? Pretty tasteful, right?

    high school detective reveal?
[00:42] Conan

SIGN    Murder at the Townhouse Café
[02:28] Conan
    "Murder at the Townhouse Café!"
[02:36] Ran
    Wow.
[02:37] Ran
    What a pretty yard.
[02:40] Sonoko
    Seriously.
[02:43] Ran
    It's beautiful.
[02:44] Sonoko
    Yeah.
[02:45] Sonoko
    A place like this is sure to look amazing!
[02:51] Tomita
    I know, right?
[02:54] Tomita
    Our staff member Sakai takes 
    great care of our yard.
SIGN    Tomita Satoshi (37)
    Manager
[03:00] Tomita
    It's truly impressive. I'm proud of it.
[03:03] Ran
    Yes, it really is wonderful.
[03:06] Tomita
    Thank you.
[03:08] Conan
    Excuse me.
[03:09] Conan
    Mister, do you work here?
[03:11] Tomita
    Ah, my apologies.
[03:13] Tomita
    I'm Tomita, the manager.
[03:16] Tomita
    I'll show you to your seats.
[03:19] Tomita
    This way, please.
[03:22] Sonoko
    What should we get?
[03:25] Ran
    Didn't we come here to eat donuts?
[03:27] Sonoko
    Of course we'll eat donuts as well.
[03:31] Tomita
    What can I get you?
[03:35] Sonoko
    What do you recommend?
[03:38] Tomita
    Our soy pulp donuts are our number one item.
[03:42] Tomita
    They're low sugar and made to order,
    so you can enjoy them fresh.
[03:49] Conan
    But judging by the state of things, this
    place's popularity suddenly spiked and waned.
[03:57] Sakai
    Sir.
[03:58] Sakai
    I brought the soy pulp 
    out of the storage room.
SIGN    Sakai Chitose (19)
    Part-time Employee
[04:00] Tomita
    Thank you.
[04:06] Sonoko
    All right. I've decided.
[04:07] Sonoko
    I'd like a hot Darjeeling tea.
[04:10] Sonoko
    Also, one shibazuke and cream
    donut, two matcha and mayo donuts,
[04:15] Sonoko
    two chocolate dream donuts, one plain
    donut, and one molasses crepe parfait.
[04:20] Sonoko
    How about you, Ran?
[04:22] Ran
    I'll have the same thing.
[04:24] Conan
    What? The same thing?
[04:26] Ran
    Conan-kun, you'll have orange juice, right?
[04:29] Conan
    Uh, yeah.
[04:31] Tomita
    Thank you for waiting.
[04:33] Sonoko
    Wow, they're beautiful!
[04:35] Sonoko
    They look delicious.
[04:36] Sonoko
    Don't you agree, Ran?
[04:39] Ran
    Yeah, but we may have ordered too much.
[04:45] Sonoko
    Let's dig in!
[04:48] Tomita
    Sakai, I'm counting on you.
[04:50] Sakai
    Yes, sir.
[04:51] Tomita
    Thanks.
[04:52] Sakai
    Understood.
[04:54] Ran
    Conan-kun?
[04:56] Ran
    Is something wrong?
[04:57] Conan
    No. I'm not sure which to eat.
[05:01] Ran
    Then how about this one?
[05:04] Ran
    I had a bite, but it's good.
[05:06] Conan
    Isn't that the donut you just ate?
[05:12] Ran
    Say, "Ah."
[05:15] Conan
    An indirect kiss...
[05:19] Ran
    Right? Good, isn't it?
[05:23] Conan
    Yeah.
[05:29] Sonoko
    These are lighter than
    expected, don't you think?
[05:32] Ran
    Yeah. I could eat these forever.
[05:38] Sonoko
    There's sourness and saltiness
    behind the sweetness, too.
[05:42] Ran
    Yeah.
[05:51] Ran
    The sound of frying donuts really
    whets the appetite, doesn't it?
[05:54] Sonoko
    Hey.
[05:56] Ran
    What is it, Sonoko?
[05:57] Sonoko
    Ran, doesn't he seem kind of suspicious?
[06:03] Ran
    You're right.
[06:04] Ran
    He keeps looking around
    everywhere. He seems restless.
[06:08] Sonoko
    And doesn't that customer seem odd, too?
[06:12] Ran
    It's more like he's observing
    donuts, not eating them.
[06:18] Conan
    There isn't a single decent
    customer in this place.
[06:23] Ran
    What was that beeping sound?
[06:26] Sonoko
    I heard it, too.
[06:32] Sakai
    I'll take your empty plates.
[06:37] Sonoko
    I'm stuffed.
[06:39] Sonoko
    I can't eat anymore.
[06:41] Ran
    You ate too much, Sonoko.
[06:43] Sonoko
    Speaking of eating too much,
    it looks like he did, too.
[06:46] Sonoko
    He's having a pretty rough time.
[06:48] Sonoko
    I wonder if he'll make it to the bathroom.
[06:55] Sonoko
    Anyway, those were pretty good.
[06:58] Sonoko
    They seemed pretty high-level
    for low sugar donuts.
[07:02] Ran
    But they're still fried.
[07:04] Ran
    Should we have eaten that much?
[07:06] Sonoko
    We'll be fine. That's why
    they're low sugar, right?
[07:11] Sonoko
    What was that?
[07:14] Ran
    Conan-kun?
[07:19] Conan
    What's wrong?
[07:20] Nonaka
    I-It's an emergency.
[07:23] Nonaka
    The manager...
[07:25] Sakai
    Are you all right?
[07:28] Sakai
    Sir?
[07:29] Sonoko
    Kid, what's going on?
[07:31] Conan
    The manager collapsed in the bathroom.
[07:34] Both
    What?
[07:35] Conan
    Was he struck?
[07:37] Conan
    The weapon was probably that mop.
[07:41] Conan
    The culprit used those gloves on the ground
    to avoiding leaving fingerprints behind.
[07:46] Conan
    Or could it be...?
[07:47] Sonoko
    In any case, let's call an
    ambulance and the police.
[07:51] Ran
    You're right.
[07:54] Chiba
    The victim is Tomita Satoshi-san,
    the owner of this café.
[07:59] Chiba
    He was struck on the back of the head with
    a blunt object while in the café's bathroom.
[08:05] Chiba
    At that time, these people
    were inside the café.
[08:09] Megure
    You girls again?
[08:11] Ran
    Sorry.
[08:13] Chiba
    Could you tell us your names?
[08:17] Sakai
    Yes.
[08:18] Sakai
    My name is Sakai Chitose. I'm a student.
[08:21] Sakai
    As you can see, I work here part-time.
SIGN    Furukawa Yoshihisa (34)
    Customer
[08:24] Furukawa
    My name is Furukawa Yoshihisa.
[08:27] Furukawa
    I happened to be having tea here.
[08:30] Furukawa
    There's nothing suspicious about me.
SIGN    Nonaka Kenji (42)
    Café Manager
[08:34] Nonaka
    My name is Nonaka Kenji.
[08:36] Nonaka
    I operate a café in this neighborhood.
[08:39] Sakai
    That's right. Come to think of it,
[08:43] Sakai
    you always come to scout out our café
    and steal our recipes, don't you?
[08:47] Nonaka
    What are you talking about?
[08:49] Nonaka
    My recipes are the product
    of my own creativity.
[08:54] Furukawa
    No one cares about that.
[08:56] Furukawa
    You gathered us here because you think
    one of us is the culprit, don't you?
[09:01] Megure
    We haven't said that yet.
[09:03] Takagi
    We just thought we'd ask you some questions.
[09:06] Megure
    For someone to attack the
    manager in the bathroom,
[09:11] Megure
    they would've had to pass through this café
    where you could have seen them, correct?
[09:15] Sakai
    Yes.
[09:17] Sakai
    The only person who left this room while
    the manager was in the bathroom was...
[09:21] Sakai
    Nonaka-san, I think.
[09:23] Nonaka
    H-Hold on.
[09:26] Nonaka
    I didn't do it.
[09:27] Conan
    But you're the only one who left his seat.
[09:31] Nonaka
    I just happened to go the bathroom then.
[09:34] Nonaka
    More importantly, Furukawa is
    way more suspicious than me.
[09:39] Nonaka
    He seemed nervous and had been behaving
    oddly since he entered the café.
[09:42] Furukawa
    I-I'm not nervous.
[09:47] Megure
    Now, now. Calm down.
[09:49] Chiba
    Tell us one at a time.
[09:52] Chiba
    What you did after the manager
    went to the bathroom.
[09:56] Sakai
    I was frying donuts in the kitchen.
[10:00] Sakai
    I never visited the tables during that time.
[10:03] Sonoko
    Come to think of it, we
    heard the donuts frying.
[10:08] Furukawa
    I-I was at my table the whole time.
[10:13] Furukawa
    Everyone here should've seen me.
[10:17] Takagi
    Is that true?
[10:19] Ran
    Yes, we saw him.
[10:22] Takagi
    Nonaka-san, how about you?
[10:25] Nonaka
    Me?
[10:27] Nonaka
    I certainly went to the bathroom,
[10:30] Nonaka
    but by the time I entered, the
    manager was already on the ground.
[10:34] Megure
    In other words, you're the
    only one who left his seat
[10:39] Megure
    to go to the bathroom when
    the crime took place.
[10:42] Nonaka
    So, what? That doesn't mean I did it.
[10:46] Sonoko
    But aren't you the manager of a rival café?
[10:49] Nonaka
    No.
[10:51] Nonaka
    This place sells donuts.
[10:52] Nonaka
    I sell waffles.
[10:54] Nonaka
    They're totally different genres of food.
[10:56] Ran
    Are they?
[10:58] Sonoko
    I guess they are.
[11:00] Police
    Excuse me.
[11:02] Takagi
    What is it?
[11:04] Takagi
    Got it.
[11:06] Takagi
    I'm sorry, but we'd like
    you to wait elsewhere.
[11:11] Takagi
    We appreciate your understanding.
[11:13] Conan
    Based on the circumstances
    and testimony so far,
[11:16] Conan
    Nonaka-san seems suspicious.
[11:20] Conan
    But should we trust that?
[11:27] Chiba
    Inspector Megure, we finished
    questioning the suspects.
[11:31] Takagi
    First, sales have declined at the
    café Nonaka-san operates recently.
[11:40] Takagi
    At this rate, he's not sure if his café
    will survive beyond a few more months.

[11:58] Takagi
    Finally, the part-time employee Sakai-san
    didn't get along with the manager very well.
[12:05] Chiba
    According to part-time employee Sakai-san,
[12:07] Chiba
    the gloves left at the crime
    scene belong to Nonaka-san.
[12:12] Megure
    What?

SIGN    Sakai
[12:13] Chiba
    Nonaka-san is a regular here.
[12:16] Chiba
    He clearly recognized those gloves
    because he always wears them.
SIGN    Yard
[12:20] Takagi
    The gloves of the only man without
    an alibi were at the crime scene.
[12:25] Chiba
    Does that settle it?
[12:27] Takagi
    As long as Nonaka-san doesn't come
    up with an alibi, it must be him.
[12:32] Conan
    I see.
[12:34] Conan
    So that's how it is.
[12:41] Chiba
    Nonaka-san, allow me to be direct.
[12:43] Chiba
    These gloves are yours, aren't they?
[12:47] Megure
    Are they?
[12:48] Nonaka
    Th-They're certainly mine,
    but I lost them a while ago.
[12:54] Takagi
    So they're yours, then?
[12:56] Chiba
    You don't have an alibi, you do have a
    motive, and then there's this material evidence.
[13:00] Megure
    Do you have any explanation for this?
[13:03] Conan
    Detective Chiba.
[13:04] Chiba
    Huh?
[13:06] Chiba
    What is it?
[13:07] Conan
    Listen...
[13:08] Megure
    Nonaka-san, could you
    accompany us to the station?
[13:12] Nonaka
    B-But... you have to believe me.
[13:15] Nonaka
    I really didn't do it.
[13:16] Takagi
    You can tell us about it at the station.
[13:18] Takagi
    Please come with us.
[13:20] Nonaka
    But I don't have anything to tell you.
[13:27] Ran
    Sonoko?
[13:33] Ran
    Are you okay?
[13:36] Sonoko
    Inspector Megure, could you
    wait to escort him away?
[13:40] Megure
    What?
[13:41] Takagi
    Did you figure out who did it?
[13:45] Sonoko
    At first glance,
[13:46] Sonoko
    all the evidence in this case seems to
    indicate that Nonaka-san is the culprit.
[13:53] Sonoko
    In other words, if Nonaka-san
    really did do it,
[13:58] Sonoko
    don't you think it was a bit too sloppy?
[14:00] Nonaka
    That's right!
[14:02] Nonaka
    If it were me, I wouldn't
    have left the gloves behind.
[14:06] Sonoko
    And Furukawa-san.
[14:08] Sonoko
    Like us, you didn't go near the bathroom.
[14:12] Sonoko
    Considering that, your alibi seems perfect,
[14:16] Sonoko
    but is it really?
[14:17] Furukawa
    Isn't it a perfect alibi?
[14:20] Furukawa
    You could at least let me go early.
[14:23] Sonoko
    And finally, the part-timer Sakai-san.
[14:27] Sonoko
    You said you were in the
    kitchen the whole time,
[14:30] Sonoko
    but we didn't see you.
[14:32] Sakai
    I was frying donuts in the
    kitchen the whole time.
[14:35] Sakai
    If anything, the fact that you didn't see me
[14:37] Sakai
    proves I was in the kitchen the whole time.
[14:41] Takagi
    Considering their testimony,
    it sounds like the culprit is...
[14:46] Nonaka
    Wh-What? You still think I did it?
SIGN    Tables
[14:50] Takagi
    Well, listen.
[14:51] Takagi
    You headed towards the men's
    bathroom and attacked Tomita-san,
SIGN    Hallway
[14:56] Takagi
    who was already in the
    bathroom, with a nearby mop.
[14:59] Takagi
    It's a very natural and
    plausible series of events.
[15:04] Sonoko
    Next, let's recreate Furukawa-san's actions.
[15:07] Sonoko
    Ran, could you show us?
[15:09] Ran
    Yeah.
[15:12] Ran
    Let's see. Furukawa-san was
    in his seat the whole time.
[15:16] Ran
    For him to attack Tomita-san
    in the bathroom...
SIGN    Tables
SIGN    Hallway
[15:21] Ran
    It wouldn't have been possible for
    him to do it without us noticing.
[15:26] Sonoko
    Finally, let's recreate Sakai-san's actions.
[15:29] Conan
    Okay, Detective Takagi.
[15:31] Conan
    Could you follow Sonoko-neechan's
    instructions?
[15:34] Takagi
    Got it.
[15:36] Takagi
    There's only one route Sakai-san,
    who was in the kitchen,
[15:38] Takagi
    could have taken to reach the
    crime scene in the bathroom
[15:42] Takagi
    without passing by the tables.
SIGN    Kitchen
[15:43] Takagi
    He exited through the kitchen window,
[15:45] Takagi
    crossed the yard, entered
    through the front entrance,
SIGN    Hallway
[15:48] Takagi
    and reached the bathroom through the hallway.
[15:51] Takagi
    He followed the same route
    to return to the kitchen.
[15:55] Takagi
    That's the route you want
    me to recreate, right?
[15:57] Conan
    Yeah. Are you ready?
[15:59] Takagi
    Anytime.
[16:01] Conan
    Okay... Ready, go.
[16:27] Takagi
    How was that?
[16:28] Megure
    It's been 90 seconds so far.
[16:46] Takagi
    Hup.
[16:47] Takagi
    Well?
[16:49] Megure
    Two minutes, 50 seconds.
[16:55] Ran
    That sound we heard...
    was the timer in the kitchen.
[16:58] Ran
    What was that beeping sound?
[17:02] Sakai
    Excuse me.
[17:04] Sakai
    What does all of this mean?
[17:06] Sonoko
    It means you don't have an alibi anymore.
[17:10] Sakai
    What?
[17:11] Sonoko
    You said you were in the kitchen frying
    donuts when the crime took place,
[17:17] Sonoko
    but you could have gone anywhere
    during the three minutes
[17:21] Sonoko
    after you put the donuts in the fryer.
[17:24] Takagi
    But, why were Nonaka-san's
    gloves in the bathroom?
[17:30] Sonoko
    If you assume Sakai-san set everything
    up, doesn't that explain it?
[17:35] Sonoko
    Your leading statements made me
    suspicious of you from the start.
[17:41] Sakai
    Hold on.
[17:43] Sakai
    I understand that I could've gone to
    the bathroom and back in three minutes.
[17:47] Sakai
    But isn't there a big hole in your reasoning?
[17:51] Megure
    A hole?
[17:53] Sakai
    That's right. Allow me to explain.
[17:56] Sakai
    Think about it.
[17:58] Megure
    What is it?
[18:01] Sakai
    It's this.
[18:02] Sakai
    While you were having tea in here,
[18:07] Sakai
    how did I cross this section of the yard?
[18:10] Sakai
    No one could pass through
    here without being seen.
[18:16] Takagi
    You're right.
[18:17] Sonoko
    That's not true.
[18:19] Sakai
    What?
[18:20] Sonoko
    You're able to pass through
    this area without being seen.
[18:25] Sakai
    What are you talking about?
[18:27] Sonoko
    I meant exactly what I said.
[18:29] Sonoko
    You did in fact pass through this
    yard and return to the kitchen
[18:34] Sonoko
    without being noticed by anyone.
[18:37] Sakai
    You didn't even see me.
[18:39] Sakai
    Show me the evidence, then!
[18:41] Sonoko
    Oh, the evidence has been standing
    in front of us this whole time.
[18:45] Sakai
    What?
[18:46] Sonoko
    Look closely at the yard.
[18:50] Sonoko
    Look very closely.
[18:56] Sonoko
    Apparently you took care of that yard.
[19:00] Sonoko
    Making it the same color as your uniform
    must've required a lot of patience.
[19:05] Takagi
    He blends in completely with the background.
[19:07] Takagi
    He's perfectly camouflaged.
[19:10] Chiba
    I borrowed the uniform in the changing room.
[19:13] Ran
    But even with the camouflage,
[19:16] Ran
    wouldn't someone notice if
    he passed through the yard?
[19:20] Sonoko
    It takes only a moment to cross.
[19:22] Sonoko
    It's one thing if you're staring at the yard,
[19:25] Sonoko
    but since everyone was focused
    on their tea and donuts,
[19:27] Sonoko
    it was unlikely that anyone would notice.
[19:30] Sonoko
    He probably even planned where
[19:32] Sonoko
    and how he could cross the yard
    unnoticed when he set it up.
[19:35] Sakai
    No. That's just speculation.
[19:38] Sonoko
    You need more proof?
[19:40] Sonoko
    Then what's that scratch on your thigh?
[19:46] Sonoko
    You got caught on the nail sticking out
    of the wall on your way back, didn't you?
[19:51] Conan
    Detective Takagi.
[19:53] Takagi
    Conan-kun?
[19:54] Conan
    Detective Chiba said this cloth
    was stuck to a nail outside.
[20:00] Takagi
    What's this?
[20:01] Takagi
    It's the same color cloth
    as Sakai-san's uniform.
[20:05] Sonoko
    If the police examine that cloth,
[20:08] Sonoko
    I'm sure they'll find that
    it came from your uniform.
[20:12] Sonoko
    There's even more evidence.
[20:14] Sonoko
    Apparently forensics reported that they
    found the laxatives you gave Nonaka-san
[20:19] Sonoko
    so he'd go to the bathroom
    in the water on his table.
[20:27] Sakai
    How did you know it was me?
[20:31] Sakai
    My plan was perfect.
[20:33] Sonoko
    It was the donuts.
[20:34] Takagi
    The donuts?
[20:36] Sonoko
    This café's donuts are made to order.
[20:40] Sonoko
    You began frying new ones when
    no new customers had entered.
[20:44] Sonoko
    I considered what that might mean.
[20:51] Sakai
    It's all his fault!
[20:54] Sakai
    I came up with the menu, the
    concept, and the eye-catching yard.
[20:59] Sakai
    But he kept me working part-time.
[21:02] Sakai
    He didn't give me anything.
[21:05] Sakai
    So I...
[21:13] Furukawa
    Apparently the manager's all right.
[21:16] Nonaka
    I guess this case is closed.
[21:19] Furukawa
    You experienced your own share of misfortune.
[21:22] Nonaka
    I suppose.
[21:23] Furukawa
    Well, I should get going.
[21:25] Conan
    Hold on, Furukawa-san.
[21:28] Conan
    You haven't paid yet.
[21:31] Ran
    What? Which means...
[21:34] Ran
    What? Furukawa-san, you were
    going to dine and dash?
[21:38] Conan
    That's right.
[21:39] Conan
    Because Furukawa-san unconsciously
    touched his wallet in his back pocket
[21:42] Conan
    when Nonaka-san accused him,
[21:46] Conan
    Sonoko-neechan said it might be him.
[21:49] Chiba
    Furukawa-san, could you
    tell us more about that?
[21:53] Ran
    That's why he was acting
    nervous the whole time.
[21:55] Conan
    Yeah, apparently.
[21:59] Sonoko
    Huh?
[23:23] Sonoko
    Solving that case made me hungry.
[23:27] Ran
    I'm hungry, too.
[23:29] Conan
    What?
[23:30] Sonoko
    There's always room for sweets.
[23:32] Sonoko
    And after eating sweets,
    you need something salty.
[23:36] Ran
    You're right. There's always room for more.
[23:40] Conan
    What about low sugar and
    low—well, whatever.
