Alibi, code, trick, transactions.

The mysterious black organization.

Today is two hours; lots of mystery solving!

Time to confront Gin and Vodka!

Seeing through the one and only truth.

Appearance of a child, but the brains of an adult.

His name is Detective Conan.

Quest for Love!

Quest for Dream!

Quest for all truth!

Only the dream inscribed in my eyes,

Because no one's song dies.

Vibrantly, embrace the truth now!

The warmth of the shoulder I touched,

And your tears that flowed.

Will be reborn as strength before dawn.

Even if we are separated...

We will call each other surpassing time, if love is still there...

Quest for Love!

Quest for Dream!

Quest for all truth!

The passion I can't control.

Draws in the awakened destiny.

The answer is always just you.

Quest for Love!

Quest for Dream!

Quest for all truth!

Only the dream inscribed in my eyes,

I won't let anyone take that away from me.

Vibrantly, embrace the truth now!

I'm a high school detective, Kudou Shinichi.

When I went to a theme park with my\Nchildhood friend and also a classmate, Mouri Ran.

I witnessed a suspicious transaction of some men in black.

I was focused on watching, so I didn't\Nnotice another man that came from behind.

I was beaten down, and they\Nforced some poisonous drug on me.

When I regained consciousness,

My body had shrunk!

If they find out Kudou Shinichi is still alive, it\Nwill bring danger to the people around me as well.

From Professor Agasa's advice, I decided to hide my identity.

When Ran asked me my name... Suddenly.

Edogawa Conan! I chose that name.

In order to get information on them, I\Nmoved in with Ran, whose father was a detective.

The Woman Who Came From the Black\NOrganization and the University Professor Murder Case.

Hey, did you hear, did you hear? There's\Ngoing to be a transfer student today in this class!

Really!?

We haven't had a new student since Conan-kun

I wonder what the person's like.

I hope she's cute.

No, no, whether it's a boy or a girl, personality comes first.

Hey Conan-kun.

What kind of a person do you think this kid is like?

Who knows, he might be a nerdy, boring kid.

So you're saying that it's a boy?

Ayumi, didn't you see that kid in the teacher's lounge?

Yeah, I asked the name. They said it's Haibara.

Haibara?

Yeah, Hai from Gray and Hara from Harrapa's Hara.

Translator Note: When you put the kanji for hai and hara together, the 'h'\Nin the middle sometimes turns into a 'b' sound. Making the name "Haibara."\NHarrapa means Grass field So essentially Haibara means "Gray Grass Field."

That's a unique name.

But, I guess it's better than Conan.

Leave me alone...

She's here, she's here!

It's a girl, alright!

She's so cute!

Everyone, take your seats.

Okay!

How can you get so hyped up, it's just a girl.

Okay, she's Haibara Ai-san, who\Nwill be learning with us starting today.

Everyone, be friendly, alright?

Okay!

Great response! Now then, Haibara-san's seat will be...

Sensei, here! The seat next to mine is open!

H-here...

Nice to meet you.

Uh... Yeah...

What's with her, all stuck up.

She's a cool type.

She's probably just nervous.

Alright everyone, we're starting the lesson.

Okay!

Haibara-san!

Hai-bara-san!

Let's go home together.

Just leave a stuck up woman like her alone.

But...

Where do you live? You just moved here right?

Don't be shy, we'll take you home.

22 Beika Block, Second Street.

That's where I currently reside.

Eh?

What is it?

Uh, nothing...

That's strange. 22 Second\NStreet would be just around my house.

But there isn't any mansion or apartment near by.

Was there a Haibara family there?

Hey, what's up with you? You like that stuck up woman?

No, definitely not!

Translator Note: Japanese people have sets of shoes for\Nindoors and outdoors. So the kids are returning their\Nindoor shoes. and getting out their outdoor shoes for home.

Detective Boys? You guys?

Yes, in order to solve everyone's\Ncase, we're working day and night.

You should join us too, Haibara-san.

Is Edogawa-kun in it too?

Yeah... But this guy is like my apprentice though.

All requests are sent to Genta-kun's shoe-locker.

All the requests are to be left in there.

Although we're keeping it a secret from the teachers.

They know...

Everyday, everyday, it's awesome.\NThe letters from those who are in trouble...

Nothing here. There's usually more\Nin it, but today just happens to be...

There isn't any in there usually either...

Come on, let's go home and play some soccer in the park.

Yeah, yeah!

That sounds great!

Hey, wait up!

Huh?

Translator Note: The outside of the\Nnote says "Onegai Shimasu!" or "Please!"

Hey, it's a request!

Really?

Dear Detective Boys, I'll wait for you in Grade 1 Class\NA afterschool. Please and thank you. Nakada Toshiya.

He says he'll wait for us in Grade 1 Class A afterschool.

Well then, let's get going!

To the Grade 1 class!

Come on Haibara-san, hurry, hurry.

What, he disappeared from your house?

Yeah, my older brother disappeared suddenly.

Could it be a kidnapping?

Wait just a second. I think there was a similar case before.

Ah, come to think of it...

This 'niichan' isn't a cat or something is it?

No, he's my brother, 10 years older than me.

He disappeared in the afternoon 1 week ago.

He said he was going to a\Nfriend's house and he never came back.

The police looked for him too,\Nbut they couldn't find him anywhere.

I thought that you guys could do something about it, so...

Was there any ransom call or anything?

Phone call? No, nothing like that.

You sure he didn't just run away?

My brother would never run away from home!

Because... Because... Because my\Nbrother and I have a great relationship.

But your brother might have some special circumstances...

Anyways, let's go to this boy's home.

We'll talk after that.

Thank you.

Alright, Detective Boys are on the case!

Haibara-san, let's go!

That house with the police car parked in front is my house.

Whoa, awesome, it's a police car!

This is a standard police car!

It's tweaked just for police uses.

Really?

Hey, where is their communication device?

See look, it's that thing on the passenger seat.

Translator Note: Unajyuu is a japanese dish consisting\Nof eel and rice. You'll learn over time, that genta is\Nobsessed with eel... This makes me really wonder sometimes.

I wonder if I can call for Unajyuus with that thing.

I'd love pizza.

Hey, you guys, what do you think we came here for?

Well ma'am, if something happens, just give us a call.

Thank you.

Thank you for your hard work.

Toshiya, are these your friends?

Ojamashimasu.

Translator Note: This is a phrase usually said when entering\Nsomeone else's house. It literally means "I will intrude now."

Please come in.

Toshiya, should I bring snacks?

No, that's okay. We won't stay very long.

I see... I'll be in the kitchen...

Sorry, my mom's mind is full of my brother's case.

I can tell. Now, let's go to your brother's room.

Hmm, it sure is cleaned up nicely.

We're going to look for clues here?

Right.

This is...

Check this out!

It's the super new style of air shoes.

You guys, you sure you're not\Nmistaking this case for something else?

Don't mess around too much...

But we now know that Toshiya-kun's\Nbrother knows a lot about brand names.

Is your brother that type of a person?

Uh... I don't know. But those shoes\Nwere a gift from my uncle in America.

I have a pair as well.

I see...

We now know that he wasn't!

That's right.

Hey Conan, no matter how much I look, I\Ncan't find a thing searching around here.

Maybe he did just run away...

No, that's not it.

Look, this wallet is your brother's, right?

If he was running away, then he would\Nhave brought his wallet at the least, right?

Then my brother is...

Either he got in an accident or involved in some incident.

What's this? There are lots of weird drawings under the bed.

Haha, that's horrible.

Isn't it? Who in the world drew something like this?

Picasso.

It is! That's Picasso's portrait of the crying woman.

Gogh, Monet, Gauguin, they're copies.

They all look exactly like the real thing.

My brother drew all of those.

My brother was always good at mimicking\Nother people's drawings in the high school art club.

Could they have kidnapped him\Nand be forcing him to draw pictures?

It's possible, if they switch it with the real thing, then...

No, that's not it either.

His strokes are firm, but his\Ncoloring and touch are still nowhere close.

It still isn't at the level of a counterfeit,

And if they kidnapped him for money, then they would\Nhave taken you instead of your brother, a high schooler.

But the most unsettling is this picture.

Eh... This person, I've seen somewhere...

It's Natsume Souseki.

Yeah, my brother is a big fan of Souseki.

He loved that picture so much\Nthat he posted it in the city exhibition.

But it was a mimic of a picture, so the\Npeople that came only said bad things about it.

The only one that complimented was a weird woman.

A weird woman?

A woman wearing a hat with a wide\Nrim, dressed in full black from head to toe.

When was that? When did you meet that woman!?

About 10 days ago.

Were there any men in black with the woman?

Y-yeah... Two of them...

Could it be?

What's wrong, Conan-kun?

Could it... Could it be...?

Could it be...?

Hey, take me to some places\Naround here your brother likes to go to.

His wallet and his school tools were all\Nin his desk. His bike was at the front door.

There is a high chance that your brother was\Ncalled somewhere around here and taken away.

I get it. If we investigate the nearby area,

We might find something.

Come on, hurry!

Ah, wait up Conan-kun!

Conan-kun!

Eh, the afternoon one week ago?

I don't think he came by.

I was in the store the entire time,\Nbut a woman dressed in black...

It's not something I remember off the top of my head.

Damn it, cafe, arcade, department store, back alley.

We've gone to every place that\Nhis brother was likely called out to.

But there's no one that saw him that day.

Nor anyone that has seen a woman in black.

Why am I getting so agitated? The\Npolice would have done stuff like this already.

There are not enough leads.

Is there no more, something, something more...

Hey, can I go to the convenience store quickly? I'm thirsty.

Wah, it's so cool.

Thank you very much. Welcome.

That will be 430 yen.

Thank you very much.

I'll take one 7 Life pack.

770 yen is your change.

Thank you very much.

What's wrong, Conan-kun?

A 1000 yen bill for one pack of cigarettes, how strange.

Maybe he didn't have any change.

If he had 1000 yen, then he could have\Nbought it at the vending machine outside.

There's no need for him to wait in line at the register.

The one he wanted was probably sold out.

Hey, could you let me see the\N1000 yen bill that man just used?

Just let me see!

Ah, hey!

There's no water mark.

So that man really did...

What's wrong with this kid?

Conan-kun, what's gotten into you...

Call the police, that's a counterfeit bill.

Call the police, that's a counterfeit bill.

H-hey kid!

Wait up, Conan-kun!

W-wait!

Hey, Conan-kun... What's up?

What was that? The counterfeit bill\Nyou were talking about in the store.

That man, he was buying a pack of\Ncigarettes with 1000 yen bill, right?

There was a vending machine at the front\Nof the shop, but he bothered to wait in line.

Meaning, that man wanted to use a 1000\Nyen bill that he couldn't use in a machine.

A counterfeit bill that can easily deceive the human eye.

But that has nothing to do with my brother's disappearance.

It has lots to do with it. Remember, there was a\Nportrait of one individual in your brother's pictures.

Natsume Souseki.

Come to think of it, Natsume Souseki is on the 1000 yen bill.

Then my brother is...

Probably, he was targeted for his drawing skills, and is\Nconfined to some place, forced to help make counterfeits.

I can't say that man is it right now.

But, just maybe, he was with those men in\Nblack who shrunk my body with their drugs...

Shrunk your body?

Eh... Uh... Gotcha! Just kidding, just kidding, I\Njust wanted to play around with your heads.

This is troublesome, I can't get these guys\Ninvolved in such a dangerous case like this.

And if I don't do anything, then I'm going to lose that man.

Alright, if that's the case then I'll use this.

Conan-kun!

Hey, Onii-san there! You dropped this.

This 1000 yen bill is yours, right?

Conan-kun!

See, that person dropped his money. So\NI was chasing him to give it back to him.

Oh...

How boring.

But what are we going to do about finding his brother?

It's getting dark.

It looks like we'll have to come back again tomorrow.

Then, you guys go ahead to\NToshiya-kun's house to pick up your backpacks.

I have a place I need to stop by first.

Catch up with us as fast as you can, alright?

Yeah, later.

Alright got him! That man took the\N1000 yen bill with the transmitter sticker on it.

The only thing that's left for me is to\Nfollow him with this tracking glasses.

Haibara-san, we're going to leave you behind.

Maybe he will take me to them,\Nthe location of the men in black.

The station?

N-news stand?

Don't tell me...

Yeah, that man with the black hat just came here. He\Nbought a 110 yen can of coffee with a 1000 yen bill.

Crap... Just as I thought...

He looked scary.

And there was a weird sticker stuck on the bill.

He was a strange fellow.

And, do you know which way that man went?

Uhm, he was using that phone\Nafter he bought the can coffee.

He stacked his change on the phone\Nbox and talked until he used all of it.

I think it was about 10 minutes ago.

Excuse me, did he ask you to give you the\Nchange to his coffee in 100 and 10 yen coins?

But I was almost out of 100 yen coins, so I\Ngave him a 500 yen coin together to 890 yen.

The change that man received in\Nthe convenience store was 770 yen.

One 500 yen coin, two 100 yen coins,\None 50 yen coin, and two 10 yen coins.

With the news stand's change together the\Namount he could use in the pay phone was...

Five 100 yen coins and eleven\N10 yen coins. All together 610 yen.

If that man had some more change\Nbeforehand, then it would be above that.

Around 10 minutes and it cost\Nmore than 610 yens? Long distant call?

Did he take the train to go meet with the\Nperson on the phone with him at some place?

No, if he called a cell phone with the public\Nphone, then it would cost 10 yen for every 9 seconds...

There's still that possibility too.

Hey lad, do you know that man with the black hat?

Yeah... Sort of...

Great, give this to that man for me.

Eh, 50 yen?

That man was in a hurry so he missed that\N50 yen from the change for the ticket machine.

Which ticket machine was it?

That Touto-line one.

Do you know which button he pressed?

Not sure, he put in one 500 yen coin.

And I saw a bunch of coins come out, but I was\Nmore concentrated on the garbage at the man's feet.

So I don't exactly know that much.

Thank you, I'll go follow him.

See ya!

Ahh, I'll leave it with you.

If a bunch of change came out, then\Nthat means there were more than 3 coins.

With 500 yen, the ticket that would give him\Nmore than 5 coins including a 50 yen coin would be...

500 yen subtract 320 yen.

The answer is 1100 yen coin, 150 yen\Ncoin, and 310 yen coins of a total of 5 coins.

The change of 180 yen.

Daitoma Station!

Daitoma, Daitoma!

It's no good.

There is no one that remembers a man\Nwith a black hat at Daitoma anymore.

What do I do from here?

Their objective is to make counterfeit money.

I guess the start would be to checkout the real estate agency.

Warehouse?

Yeah,

Did you lend out a warehouse at the edge of a city,

Where not many people will see and can't be\Nheld suspicious no matter what you do in there?

Hmm, I don't think we've lent out any warehouses lately.

It could be many years ago, too.

You're hindering my work. Take\Nyour friends and go home already.

Friends?

Look, those kids are with you, aren't they?

Ah... You guys...

We're not going to fall for your tricks all the time.

Sneaking out to go on your own is your number one move.

How did you find me?

We were told by Haibara-san and followed you here.

She said that you were planning to get\Nrid of us to go investigate on your own.

Umm.

What is it?

Is there any novelist living around here?

Novelist? Where did that come from?

After my brother disappeared, he did call home once.

What!

Why didn't you tell us that earlier!

The one who picked up the\Nphone was our grandmother but...

She's got a bad ear, and my brother was\Ntalking fast, so she couldn't tell what he was saying.

The only words she got was that he\Nwas with a bunch of people like Souseki.

With a bunch of people like Souseki?

Souseki...

Did you tell that to the police?

Of course, but no matter how much they\Nsearched, they couldn't find anyone like that...

They said it was either my grandma heard\Nwrong or perhaps a prank call or something...

But your brother is a fan of Souseki, right?

Then maybe there's nothing to worry about.

But my brother's voice was quivering,\Nand his call suddenly hung up in the middle.

I see... He called while they weren't looking, then\Nhe was discovered so he had to hang up in the middle.

Come to think of it, there's a\Nperson like Souseki living close by.

He's the owner of a bookstore around the corner.

And his nickname is 1000 yen bill.

That's it! Thank you!

What?

Please take us there!

N-no!

You shouldn't... At least not that old man...

Damn you! What do you mean 1000 yen bill?!

We're sorry!

What are they doing?!

Don't make fun of adults! 1000 yen... He isn't that cheap!

Why isn't Natsume Souseki on the 10,000 yen bill!

Wow, that was scary.

That's why I told you not to.

What's up with that old man?

He's suspicious.

No, this bookstore probably has nothing to do with it.

I checked the books and its storage. But there\Nweren't any machines used for printing counterfeit money.

Speaking of printers, the newspaper company in\Nfront of the station was putting in a new one recently.

Newspaper company?

Look, that newspaper company\Nbeside the police station on the 3rd floor.

We used to deal with that area too about two years ago.

What did those people look like?

The president was a woman who wore a\Nblack hat with a broad rim, dressed in black.

But what they print isn't counterfeit money, but this city's\Ninformation, they wouldn't print that next to a police station.

Well, it's like that.

I don't know what's going on, but it's night already.\NYou kids should stop playing detectives and go home.

Hey, could that newspaper company be...

But that has nothing to do with Souseki.

Rinse thy mouth with rocks,\Nand pillow thy head upon the flow.

It is a famous quote of Souseki.

Meaning strangeness.

Usually, you rinse your mouth with the\Nflowing water and use a rock as a pillow, right?

If you turn that around, then that\Nmeans that you're quite a different person.

Right, usually when you want to make counterfeits, you\Nwould want to avoid attention and be at the edge of the city.

But they placed it at this bustling place in front of the station.

At first sight it appears to be very strange, but\Nthere's no better place to avoid suspicion by the police.

Toshiya-kun's brother was probably trying to tell us this.

Then my brother is...

Yeah, if my theories are correct, then he's\Nprobably inside that newspaper company.

I've been telling you from the start!

The newspaper company next door kidnapped\Nthis guy's brother and is making counterfeit money!

You've watched one too many gang movies, kid.

We're telling the truth!

Believe us!

I guess it's more unlikely for them to believe a\Nbunch of kids that just barge up with such nonsense.

Hey, you guys, don't move from that spot!

Alright, no matter what!

Conan-kun...

If we get told not to move,

Then we start to want to move more.

What! Counterfeit money?! Is this true, Shinichi-kun?

Yes, I don't have any evidence but most likely...

Also, when you move in, please be careful. The\Nculprit will most likely use a hostage as a shield.

A woman in black, huh...

Come to think of it, a while\Nago... There was one a while ago...

We can't, Genta-kun!

Conan-kun told us not to move!

Shut up, unless I find some proof, that cop won't believe us!

Huh, there's no one here.

There's no sign of any counterfeit money.

Maybe Conan made a mistake.

Numerous types of ink.

They were testing...

Give me a break, sis.

I told you, that was a prototype\Nwithout a watermark, don't use it.

It was so well made, so I...

I'll let you use it until you get sick of it soon.

A Fukuzawa Yukichi that's a few\NDans above this crappy Natsume Souseki.

Translator Note: Dan is a japanese term\Nof ranking. starting at shodan or 1st Dan.

Anyways, did you get the ink?

Y-yeah, I got it. I've tested a lot of\Nit, but this is the best for watermarks.

H-hey, there's someone in the next room.

K-kids.

5 kids.

Toshiya!

W-what!

Keep quiet!

Hmmm, he came this far looking for his brother.

How cute.

What! They went into the newspaper company?

Yeah, saying they will find some proof, all five of them.

Damn it!

H-hey!

Those idiots!

Just maybe... They could be...\NThey could be... With the men in black.

I see, she's still nowhere to be found.

Sorry Bro, we're looking in all\Ndirections, but... But I still can't believe it.

That she was able to disappear from there.

If there was no corpse then that means she failed to tell.

Either way, hurry up and find\Nher and drag her out before me.

If our existence gets revealed\Nfrom her mouth, then it won't be good.

Of course, I won't care if she is dead or alive.

What, they went into the newspaper company?!

Yeah, they saying how they will\Nfind some proof, all five of them...

Damn it!

H-hey!

Those idiots!

Just maybe... They could be...

The Detective boys, who snuck into\Nthe scene of counterfeit money makers.

The woman with the black hat's\Ngun awaits them, smiling coldly.

Is she really a part of the men in black? Or...

Seeking for the answer to the mystery, Conan\Ndashes up the stairs to the truth, to save his friends!

And to return to being Kudo Shinichi.

Damn Genta and those bunch.

I told them not to move from the police station!

Hey Genta-kun, let's go back already.

If someone comes, we're going to get yelled at.

Geeze, you're annoying, if you\Nwant to go home then go home alone.

It looks like they're all still safe.

Alright, I'll get them away from here while I still can.

Your detective game has come to an end, young man.

Huh?

Hey, check this out!

There are lots of 10,000 yen bills!

Awesome!

With all that, the amount of Unagi rice is... 1... 2... 3...

But how strange...

These 10,000 yen bills,\NFukuzawa Yukichi's left eye is missing.

It's the same as a rocking doll.

Once our wish comes true, we put both\Neyes in. Once those counterfeits are completed.

Wh-who are you guys...

Shall we start with a dramatic reunion of brothers?

Toshiya!

Onii-chan!

Onii-chan!

Toshiya!

H-hey, stop it!

I know, I'll get Conan-kun!

No way.

What do you think you're doing!

Let go of her!

Be quiet! It looks like you don't know what this is.

Don't hurt the kids! Or I won't cooperate anymore!

Don't worry.

I'll leave your little brother until the very end.

Bring that girl with the hairband over.

Hey! Ayumi-chan!

Hey, what are you going to do!?

I'm going to speed up your slow work.

If they die one by one, you would be\Nmore enthusiastic about this, wouldn't you?

Conan-kun! Help me!

Conan?

Oh, if you mean that kid with\Nglasses hanging about the stairs,

He's already dead.

C-Conan's dead?

A lie... It's a lie!

This building only has one entrance and exit.

When could you have killed him?

I could see all your movements from the security camera.

Of course, the stairs just outside\Nthis room too, didn't you know?

To not let you kids get away, I sent Inuyama\Nfrom the emergency exit to the stairs outside.

And that kid with glasses came just then, so he killed him.

Now, now, don't cry.

Don't worry, I'll let you go to the\Nsame place where that boy is right now.

Bye bye, little lady.

Stop it!

Wh-who's there!

The same as a rocking doll? Don't make me laugh!

The reason Fukuzawa Yukichi's eye is\Nmissing is just because his artist got hurt.

What?

Heh, that white bearded man with his arm\Nhanging from his neck, he's the real artist right?

Your artist was injured just before he completed his\Nwork, so you put Toshiya-kun's brother in place in a hurry.

You took a notice of his artistic skills at the exhibit,\Ncalled him out with some sweet talk, then confined him here.

The inks next to the printer and the powder ink on the table.

As well as the wires on the table.

If you were preparing things like these,

You were planning to use them in machines\Nthis time, which are hard to tell by eyes as it is,

In banks, arcades, casino's change\Nmachine's, and change them into real money.

And by the time they found out, you\Nwould have ran somewhere far away.

Right, Onee-san in the black hat?

W-wh... Who are you!

Edogawa Conan, just a detective.

C-Conan-kun...

Impossible, Inuyama dealt with you earlier!

This fat man is named Inuyama, huh?

Sorry, but I put him to sleep with my tranquilizer.

Tranquilizer?

Oh, and the object I hit you\Nwith earlier was Inuyama-san's gun.

I kicked it and hit you with it.

You... Kicked it?

Yeah, with these kick force amplifying shoes!

Ha-Haibara-san?

A-awesome...

Awesome Haibara!

Too awesome!

That was the first time I've ever seen a real gun.

T... This girl...

Well, in any case...

Onii-chan!

Toshiya.

It looks like everything's alright.

Great.

Yeah, the Detective boys are victorious!

Did something happen?

Thank you for your hard work!

We've solved the case.

These are the evidence fake bills.

And, that is Toshiya-kun's brother who was kidnapped.

Hello...

It... It was true...

If you leave things to the Detective boys,

We'll solve it for you right away!

Right Conan?

Huh... Uh... Yeah!

If you keep doing this, no matter how\Nmany lives you have, it won't be enough...

Twenty minutes later, Inspector Megure arrived.

They were all arrested, and\NToshiya-kun's brother was released.

And...

To stumble in such a small\Nmountain like this, you got careless.

Well, I guess you'll just tell all your secrets to the\Npolice about the huge organization that's behind your back.

Organization?

Don't play dumb.

You have one too right? A code name like Gin or Vodka.

Gin? Vodka?

Sorry, but I stopped drinking quite a while ago.

Hey, hey, Conan-kun, what are you talking about?

This woman is the counterfeit money maker,\Na famous wanted woman, "The Silver Fox."

She changed slightly, but I\Nwon't forget this female boss' face.

But this time, you'll be charged for\Nkidnapping, illegal gun possession, and firing.

It looks like you'll be gone for a long time.

I'm not the one that fired.

It was that brunette little girl.

What?!

Why did you do such a dangerous thing?!

But... But...

Sorry, sorry, I was wrong.

I guess a girl will just be a girl.

Come on, stop crying already.

Your home's around here right?

Geez, I can't take this anymore.

I mistook those people for the men in\Nblack, who are still nowhere to be found.

And I gotta take care of a\Ncrying little girl and walk her home.

Hey, you can get home from here by yourself right?

Well... See ya tomorrow.

I'll see you at school.

Apotoxin 4869.

Huh?

Do you know what that is?

It was the drug you were forced to take.

What are you talking about?

I never took any weird drug like...

I'm sure the name is correct.

Ordered by the organization,

It was the drug that I created.

Organization? Created?

No way... What does a child like you know about...

I'm the same as you.

I took it too.

With its unique side effect from\Nthe autodestruction program of cells,

Excluding the nervous system, the\Nskeletal, muscular tissue, organs, and body hair...

All of those returned to the kindergarten state's.

New incredible drug, wasn't it?

Haibara... Are you...

It's not Haibara...

Sherry.

That's my code name.

Well, are you surprised?

Kudou Shinichi-kun.

Then you're a part of those men in black!

You don't have time to stand around\Nlooking surprised, slow witted detective.

What?

I told you, the place I'm living right\Nnow is 22 Beika Block, Second Street.

Right, it's right next to your real house.

You know where it is, right?

Could it be...

Professor Agasa's house!

Hey Professor! Hey! Get the phone!

It's pointless. No matter how many\Ntimes you call him, he'll always be busy.

The receiver isn't set down, and\Nhe can no longer get it himself,

Because... He's not in this world anymore.

Y-you...

Y-you...

What did you do to the Professor?

If the Professor disappeared, would you be troubled?

That tiny phone, your kick force amplifying shoes.

They were all made by the Professor, right?

Because the Professor is there, you are\Nable to be a kid detective in that body.

Meaning, the current Kudou Shinichi's lifeline is...

Professor Agasa.

That's the reason you killed him?

Who knows, if it bothers you,

Then why don't you go to the Professor's house and see.

Damn it!

Professor, Professor! Be safe!

Those men in black might still be inside?

There doesn't seem to be anything unusual...

There doesn't seem to be any sign of the men in black.

Professor!

Professor Agasa!

I thought I heard Shinichi's voice.

Ohhh! Shinichi, what are you doing here so late?

Did you need me for something?

Professor, you were safe...

Safe? Did something happen?

Hahaha, sorry, sorry.

Lately, I've been into computer messaging.

The phone line must have been blocked by it.

I'm home.

Welcome home, Ai-kun.

How was school?

I was able to have quite a bit of fun.

That brat, she got me.

Now, now, you were careless not to know my address, too.

How am I supposed to know?

I've never sent you anything 'cause you live right next door.

All the postcards were hand delivered too.

Besides, who in the world is that Haibara kid?

Huh, didn't you ask her?

She was with the men in black and\Ntook the same drug as you did and shrunk.

That's strange, she said she would tell\Nyou herself, so I didn't say anything to you.

Hold on a sec, Professor...

Oh, the name Haibara Ai was something her and I\Ncame up using names of famous female detectives.

Haibara's Hai (Gray) is Cordelia Gray's "Gray".

Ai is V.I. Ostrovsky's "I."

Translator Note: As you can see from this example,\Nthe word "Ai" can mean both 'Sorrow' and 'Love.' It's also\Nwritten differently based on which form of 'Ai' you use.

I insisted that the "love" Ai would\Nbe better than the "sorrow" Ai, but...

That's not what I'm asking!

Why is there a woman from the black\Norganization in the Professor's house?

He took me in.

When he found me laying on the\Nground in the rain in front of your house.

That Professor right there.

In front of my house?

Did you know?

The organization went to your house twice to investigate.

Highlighted: Kudou Shinichi - Unknown

Out of the individuals who took that\Ndrug, only your death was not confirmed.

Of course, I, who was the supervisor\Nfor that drug's development, went as well.

But there was dust all over the house, and\Nno trace of anyone living there was found.

The first time, we finished it there.

The second investigation was one month after that.

There was still dust all over the place\Nand there didn't seem to be any changes.

Even I began to think that you died.

It was when I realized something in your\Nclothes drawer that gave me goose bumps.

They were gone, the clothes from when\Nyou were a kid that were there 1 month ago.

In animal testing, there was one mouse that\Nshrunk instead, so this scenario was fully expected.

The probability that Kudou Shinichi was\Nshrunk by the side effect of APTX4869 exists.

Then the organization knows\Nabout the fact that I turned small...

You should thank me.

I changed your data to "confirmed."

You interested me quite a bit, so I let you live.

If I told the organization, then there is a high chance\Nthat you would have been killed before I got to see you.

Although,

Once they realize that the person who\Nwrote the data was me, who betrayed them.

Then they might start questioning it again.

Betrayed?

That's right.

Giving that drug, which was still in its experimental stage,

Was one of the reasons that I disliked the organization.

But the biggest reason was my older sister.

Your sister?

She was killed.

By the members of the organization.

No matter how much I demanded, the\Norganization didn't tell me the reason behind it...

Then, I decided to stop the development of that drug,

Until I received an answer.

Of course, I,

Who went against the organization, was confined to a small room\Nin the lab, and was to wait for the decision from above.

I thought that since I was going to get killed\Nanyways, I would take the APTX4869 which I secretly held.

To my luck, the drug that I took thinking that it would kill me,

Shrunk my body, released me from the handcuffs,

And allowed me to escape from a small laundry chute.

The only hope for me, who had no where\Nto go, was Kudou Shinichi-kun, only you...

I thought that you would surely understand me\Nbecause you were in the same condition as me.

Don't kid yourself!

How do you expect me to understand someone\Nwho was developing a drug to kill other human beings?

H-hey Shinichi...

Do you understand?!

Do you know how many\Npeople suffered because of your drug!

There's nothing I could have done.

I never intended to create a poison.

What!?

Now, now, she's not a part of the organization anymore.

With the developer of the drug with us, an\Nantidote shouldn't take long to make right?

All the drug's data is in the lab.

I never even tried to remember all the data.

Damn it.

Then tell me where the lab is!

There's no use.

Look, this is the article from 3 days ago.

Ohh, that medicine company.

Newspaper: Drug company burned to\Nthe ground. Researcher gone missing.

It's the unknown fire incident, isn't it?

So even if you go, there won't be anything left.

W-what!

Fearing that the things about that company would\Nescape from my mouth, the organization took the first strike.

If that's the case, all the other labs that I was\Ninvolved in have already been crushed by now.

Then, you, they're...

Yeah, the organization is probably\Ndoing everything they can to find me.

Without even knowing that my body is in such a state.

But, if the organization continues to use\Nthat drug as a purpose of assassination,

Then there's bound to be more\Nindividuals that would shrink just like us.

When that happens, the organization will\Ndefinitely find me since they know my youthful face.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to get rid of this bothersome girl?

High school detective, Kudou Shinichi-kun.

What are you going to do?

Are you going to get rid of this bothersome girl?

High school detective, Kudou Shinichi-kun.

Yes, I developed the drug, was involved in\Nmurder, and am being pursued by the organization.

To you, I'm an extremely dangerous and hateful existence.

There's no reason whatsoever\Nfor you to let me in your daily life.

Idiot, if they find out about you, then it's only\Na matter of time before they find out about me.

Sorry to Professor Agasa, but I'm going to force you to\Nbe an elementary student here even if you don't want to.

It's more bothersome for you to\Nbe wandering somewhere outside.

So you're a kind person.

Anyways, shouldn't we think\Nabout the safety of your parents?

Don't worry, my parents were\Nmembers of the organization as well.

I heard that they died in an\Naccident not long after I was born.

Then what about your family?

It was just my sister that I rarely saw and me.

Unlike me, who was sent to America for\Nschooling by the orders of the organization,

My sister led a casual life in\NJapan, although she was monitored.

Before she started getting involved\Nin the organization to let me escape it,

She went to school, made friends,\Nwent on trips like anyone normally would...

Wait a sec...

As I recall, a few years before she was killed,

My sister sent me two or three\Nfloppies with her travel photos.

I took a quick look at them with the\Nmonitor in my lab and sent them back right after.

But after that, the floppy with the drug's data went missing.

And I looked quite a bit, but couldn't find it...

I see, amongst the disks you sent back to your sister...

There is a possibility that a disk\Nwith the drug's data is mixed in with it?

Then, if we look at the place your sister was living at then...

No point, the apartment my sister was living\Nat was already stripped by the organization,

Everything should already be destroyed by now.

But she did say that the disks with her travel pictures,

Belonged to the University\NProfessor she was with on her trip so...

Maybe...

Do you know who that Professor is?

Nanyou University Professor, Hirota Masami.

Hirota Masami?

But I don't know exactly where he lives.

Something like that, we can find out if we ask the university...

Alright, then let's hurry.

Hello, could you please tell me the\Nphone number to Nanyou University?

What?

The floppies with the travel pictures?

Who are you?

You see...

What was your sister's name?

Akemi.

It's Miyano Akemi.

Oh, you're Akemi-kun's friend.

The floppy I lent her when she was\Nmy student was indeed returned to me.

Though there was a strange floppy mixed in with it too.

A strange floppy?

There's no mistake, that's it!

Could we go and get that floppy right now?

Oh, no problem.

I'm expecting two or three guests\Nsoon, but if it is alright afterwards.

Then I'll meet you there in three hours.

What! You're sleeping over at the Professor's house?

What are you doing?

I've been waiting for you after making your dinner.

But the Professor made a fun\Ngame and wants me to play it with him.

I'll be back by tomorrow morning, sorry Ran-nee-chan.

H-hey, wait a sec!

You're quite good at pretending to be a kid.

Yeah, although I'm nothing\Ncompared to your fake crying with tears.

150 Km until Shizuoka, huh.

I wonder if we'll get there in just three hours.

Hey Professor, don't let your guard down with that woman.

By that woman, you mean Ai-kun?

Yeah, she says she ran from the organization,

But she won't even tell us her real name or age.

Even when we ask her what the organization\Nis doing, she just replies that she doesn't know.

Just maybe, what she told us earlier, was just a lie to get us.

She doesn't look like that kind of a girl.

But what's bothering me right now is Hirota Masami.

This name... I heard somewhere...

Hello?

Oh, you must be Agasa-san.

I heard from my husband.

Please, come in.

Did the guests leave already?

Yes, I think a few of my husband's\Nstudents came in one after another.

Dear?

Dear?

That's strange, I wonder if he's doing\Nsomething inside, locking the door...

Hey...

Damn, it won't open.

Is there a spare key for the room?

We don't have anything like that...

Then Professor, help me knock down this door.

What?

Hurry!

Ready, set... Ready, set...

An accident?

Yes, we do not know for sure, but there is a high\Nchance that this death was caused by an accident.

Inspector Yokomizo.

I believe the cause of death was\Nthis ornament, probably when he fell...

That is what you think too...

What do you mean by when he fell?

Meaning this, Hirota Masami-san, who died,

Tried to get something on top of the book shelf,

He put his foot on the shelf and lost his balance,

Then hit his head on that ornament\Nwhich fell before him and passed away.

As proof, the door to this room and the\Nwindow above the door were all locked.

Furthermore, the only key to this room is...

Under the notebook which was scattered in this room.

So you're saying that the only way to think of this is,

If Hirota Masami-san locked the\Nroom himself, then died of an accident?

Yes, no matter how you look at it...

He might have been murdered by someone.

By making it look like an accident.

Weren't you that boy with Mouri-san?

Uh... Yes he is.

He's the child of a relative of mine.

Look at this phone.

It's on the floor, right?

That's probably... Because that\Nphone's shelf fell with the book shelf.

Then why isn't the receiver knocked off?

The phone is turned upside down and\Na book is placed upon it as camouflage.

But this was done after someone messed up the room.

Then could it be murder?!

Wait a moment.

If that's the case, then this would be...

A locked room murder!

Locked Room?

Murder?

Indeed.

The room was locked tight, and the\Nkey to the lock was found inside the room.

Then who?

Who killed my husband?!

Please Ma'am, calm down.

Were there any suspicious individuals\Nthat came to see your husband, tonight?

I believe there were 3 or 4 guests\Nthat came tonight, including Agasa-san.

Uh... Me? A person I knew mistakenly gave\NHirota-san her floppy, so I came here to get that floppy.

So it's probably right next to that computer...

The floppies are gone.

All of them...

If this is the case, the data inside the\Ncomputer may have been deleted as well.

W-who is that young girl?

Oh, she's also from a relative of mine.

Hey Ai-kun, you can't touch those.

Anyways, I have nothing to do with the case.

No one is stupid enough to bring kids to a murder, right?

Hmm, I suppose...

Listen little girl, you can't touch anything in this room.

Go wait with your grandpa in the next room, got it?

Uh... Grandpa... I'm still only 52...

Hey, could they have taken the floppy?

It's possible.

The disappearance of that floppy with the drug's data,

And the fact that I sent back the disks my sister sent me,

Which are all recorded by the organization.

I see...

After you betrayed the organization,

They may have been able to guess that you\Nwere going to come here to retrieve that disk, huh?

The organization must have come here to get the\Ndata, but was discovered by Mr. Hirota and killed him.

It's possible.

No, it's still too early to say that.

First, we'll hear what the\Npeople came here tonight have to say.

We'll start from there.

Eh, you were at a neighborhood meeting?

Yes.

With some women in the neighborhood for\Nthree hours, between 8:00 pm and 11:00 pm.

Then ma'am, you didn't directly see the guests\Nthat came to see your husband tonight, right?

No, I saw the first person that came.

It was just when we were leaving, and I\Nbelieve he said he was a student of my husband's.

I think his name was Hosoya-san.

Alright, bring this Hosoya, who\Ncame to Hirota-san's house tonight, to me.

Sir!

Do you know any other guest's\Nnames that came here tonight?

No, other than Agasa-san who called before I left...

My husband just said that two or\Nthree students of his were coming, so...

Then that means we would have to\Nquestion every student of Mr. Hirota.

Huh? There's something shining on this phone.

This is the answering machine, isn't it?

If we listen to this, then we might find something out.

That's right!

There are total of 13 calls.

13 calls! That's quite a bit.

Hello? This is Shirakura.

Mr. Hirota, I believe our\Narrangement was to meet tonight, right?

Who is this Shirakura-san?

I've met Shirakura-san before.

He's still a young man and...

That's strange, this tape, the\Nsound flies off from place to place.

This is Morioka, what time should I come over tonight?

This person is?

I know Morioka-san, too.

He was my husband's early\Nstudent, and comes to our house a lot.

Do you know Shirakura-san and\NMorioka-san's address and phone number?

Yes...

Excuse me, I'm Shirakura.

What's all this commotion about?

Did something happen?

Someone murdered Mr. Hirota.

Hello, this is Shirakura. Tomorrow isn't a very good\Nday for me, so I'll just come over right now, oh, and...

10 calls by Shirakura-san and 2 calls by Morioka-san...

Shirakura-san, you sure called quite a bit.

I called many times but he didn't\Npick up, so I decided to just come over.

Well, I guess...

But why did something like this...

This is the 13th call.

The last message huh...

Uhh, this is Black X insurance.

I would like to tell you about our new insurance policy.

Would you mind giving us some of your time?

I will call again at another time.

Insurance company...

No, the voice is changed slightly by a machine.

This style of speech, this voice is...

Vodka.

Well then...

Then this case really is...

No, the chance of this being done by them just went down.

If they came to retrieve the floppy...

They wouldn't leave a tape with\Ntheir own voice at the scene of the crime.

Yeah, if it was them, they would have taken\Nthe tape before they created a locked room.

The message was left as one of the ways to\Nget Mr. Hirota when he is at home, off guard.

And make it easier to achieve their goal.

They must be pretty nervous now,\Nsince they can no longer retrieve it.

Bu-but, if that's the case, then they...

Yeah, it was a good thing we moved\Nthe Professor's wagon somewhere else.

They could already be nearby.

What! Hirota-sensei was murdered?

Haha, that can't be!

He was fine earlier...

As I recall, the one who came here just when the\Nmistress of the house left was Hosoya-san, right?

Yes, my daughter is going to be\Nstudying in Nanyou University...

I wished for Sensei to write the\Nletter of recommendation, but...

He appeared to be a little drunk,\Nso I decided to go home for today.

Is it true that he had been drinking?

Yes, since the afternoon.

Now then, Morioka-san,

According to the message left in the phone, it seems as\Nthough you had arranged to see Hirota-san tonight as well.

Yes, it was for chess.

Hirota-sensei and I are chessmates,

Sensei invited me to play tonight.

Look, the chess pieces are scattered on the floor.

We always played in this room.

We hadn't decided on a time to\Nstart, so I called about two times,

But no one was home.

So I came here to ask him what's happening.

You came here, tonight?

Yes, the time I came was around 9:30 pm.

The front door wasn't locked, but\Nno one came when I rang the bell.

I thought he forgot about his invitation and fell asleep,

So I went inside the house.

But when I came to the study, no reply\Ncame even when I knocked on the door.

That door was locked, so I went home.

I see.

Then an hour and 30 minutes later, Agasa-san came.

Noticing that something was wrong, you\Nentered by breaking down the door, right?

Yes, that's correct.

By the way, Shirakura-san, you arrived right after we came.

I haven't asked you why you came here tonight.

Yes, you see, I'm a model,

And I received an offer from a magazine saying\Nthey want to do an article on "A Model's Unusual Smile."

I remembered a picture I took with Hirota-sensei\Nduring my college years where I dressed up as a woman.

So I wished to borrow the floppy with that photo's data in it.

The photo's data is on a floppy?

Yes, my husband always tossed his\Nfavorite pictures into his computer.

It wasn't just photos.

University exam questions, students' grades,

Even the record of wins and losses\Nwith Morioka-san's chess matches.

I see...

Then the culprit took those floppies after he\Nmurdered Mr. Morita. Then that's the motive of the crime.

Hosoya-san, your daughter will be\Nstudying at Nanyou University, correct?

Yes...

If you could get your hands on the entrance exam\Nquestions then she would definitely be accepted, right?

N-no!

I never even thought of doing something like that.

First of all, someone else might have come other than us!

Sensei was using the university's computers as well.

Maybe Sensei himself brought them all to the university.

It's possible, that person never writes anything\Non paper, so he could have just taken all of it.

And this room, it was locked, right?

Furthermore, the key to this room was\Nfound in this room under a notebook, was it not?

Inspector, no matter how you look at this...

Indeed.

The entrances to this room were all closed.

The only open space would be the small crack\Nunder the door where a key can just barely slide through.

If one was to use a rubber band,

Them someone could kill Mr.\NHirota, and lock the door from outside.

Then from the crack under the door, someone\Nwould be able to move the key to the center of the room.

But to have it slide underneath a\Nnotebook perfectly is impossible.

The thing that concerns me is the fact that\Nthere are many books scattered in the room,

But for some reason, only the notebook in\Nquestion is the only thing between the door and the phone,

And the slightly loosened tape for the phone messages.

But even if one was to use something like\Nthis, could they slide it under the notebook?

Edogawa Conan?

You know, the boy with the\Nglasses I told you about the other time.

You know, you told me that you had some\Nerrands and went to someone's house in Beika Block.

Oh, you mean Kudou Shinichi?

Right, he's a boy that lives in the\Ndetective agency of that neighborhood.

There's something different about him.

He's unusually calm for a child, or... Mature, or...

But more importantly, are you okay, sis? I\Nheard that you're in a pretty bad situation.

Don't worry, it's going just fine.

I'll be careful.

The one to worry about is you, Shiho.

Stop making some stupid drug.

And try making a boyfriend or something.

I'll be okay.

I'll be okay.

Newspaper: 1 billion yen robber.

I'll be okay...

It's impossible.

To lock the door outside the room and move it under a\Nnotebook in the middle of the room is logically not possible.

Even if you do use the tape of that phone.

There are numerous questionable\Npoints, but if Mr. Hirota was drunk,

Then you can still see this as an accidental death,

Caused by him falling with the\Nbookshelf and hitting the back of his head.

Besides, it's dangerous to stay\Nhere any longer, there's no point.

Give it up, Kudou-kun.

This case is already...

Checkmate.

Checkmate...

Come on, let's hurry from the back door.

Hold it!

You don't want to know? About the truth to this case.

I told you already.

No matter how you look at this...

It wasn't an accident, it's a murder.

After killing Mr. Hirota, the culprit used a trick to\Nlock this room, and made it look like an accident.

I'll let you see right now, the truth.

That there isn't a single mystery\Nin this world that can't be solved.

Codename Sherry.

In search for the disks containing the\Ndata of the drug which Ai developed,

We went to visit Hirota Masami, the Professor of\NNanyou University, the former teacher of Ai's sister

But inside the room where both\Nthe door and windows were locked,

He had been murdered by someone.

The cause of death was a blow to\Nthe back of his head by an ornament.

This was a carefully set up locked room murder.

The suspects are,

Hosoya-san, who came around 8:00 pm\Njust as Toshiko san was leaving the house,

Morioka-san, who came around 9:00 pm to play chess,

And Shirakura san, who came after the\Ndiscovery of the murder. These three people.

The questionable points are,

The key underneath the\Nnotebook which is in line with the door,

Slightly loosened tape of the phone messages,

How in the world did the culprit...

Give it up, Kudou-kun.

This case is already...

Checkmate.

Checkmate...

This is it! All the pieces finally fit in together!

It was an accident, an accident.

Hirota-sensei got drunk, then fell with the\Nbook shelf, and hit the back of his head and died.

It's true that from conditions of the scene, that is a\Npossibility. But there are 2-3 points that I don't understand...

What do you mean you don't understand?

The room was locked and the key was underneath\None of the notebooks scattered in the room, right?

If you say that there was a\Nculprit, how did he lock the room?

That's what I'm thinking of right now...

Excuse me, but I have some errands tomorrow morning, so...

Then, me too...

I'm going home as well.

Wa-wa-wait.

Hold it right there!

Umm... That was...

Why did you use my voice all of a sudden?

I figured it out,

The trick that was used to create this locked\Nroom, and the culprit that put it to practice.

W-what...

H-hey Shinichi...

Just match my voice.

I said it before, no matter how you look at this...

You're naive,

This is why amateurs are troublesome.

Who are you to call me an amateur?

It's true that the room was locked,

And does appear as though it was an accident,

But if you use the cassette tape\Nof the phone and the chess pieces,

You will be able to create this locked room perfectly.

Cassette tape?

Chess pieces?

Are you sure, Shinichi?

You fool, stop looking back all the time.

Be more confident like a real detective.

Give some proof instead of all talk.

Do it and show us.

The trick you pictured in your mind, right now and here.

Ohh, as you wish.

I'll let Conan-kun help me make that reappear right here.

A-are you sure it's going to work?

Yeah, believe in me.

It will succeed 100%.

Hey Mr. Policeman, do you have a cell phone or something?

Y-yeah, I have one.

Could you lend me those gloves as well?

Inspector Yokomizo, I bought the cassette tape.

There was one, the same as\Nthe one in the phone of this room.

Why, I never asked for something like this.

But just now, this boy...

Well, anyways,

Can you give me the tape, Inspector?

First, take the inside of the tape out to a relative length.

H-hey!

Then set the cassette in the phone.

Of course, with the tape hanging outside.

Next, keeping the tape outside in\Na straight line, walk out the door,

And put the tape through the ring of the key.

Then, with the remaining tape, return to the\Nlocation of the room where the notebook was,

Now, just take three pawns with the\Nsame height, and place them in a triangle.

And put the center of the remaining tape at the one\Nclosest to the phone, and place the notebook upon them.

That's a joke.

You're planning to knock the pieces down with the\Npulling force of the tape, but that is still impossible.

The base of the piece is well set, so the key will\Nget stuck on the piece and get pulled out, and...

Upside down.

After this, you turn the pieces upside down.

Even if the head of the pieces are round,

As long as the opposite side is flat like this\Nnotebook, then you should be able to place it.

Just keep watching, I'll show you right now.

First, lock the room outside and\Nplace the key on the floor, and give a call.

Then the answering machine will\Nactivate, and the tape will get wound.

Activate, and the tape will get wound.

With that force, the key will enter from under the\Ndoor, move under the notebook in the center of the room.

And eventually hit the piece, the piece will loose its\Nbalance and the key will... go under the notebook.

It went under!

I see, if the answering machine continued, the tape will\Nget fully winded and the evidence will disappear as well.

How was it, did it go well?

Ohh, perfectly, Shinichi!

I mean, it was just as I thought.

Also, if you put the pieces at the corner of the book,\Nthe pieces will be harder to end up under the book.

Also, if you put the pieces at the corner of the book,\Nthe pieces will be harder to end up under the book.

But even if it did go under it, it wouldn't look too suspicious.

If that's the case,

The one that was able to use this trick was the one\Nwho left 10 messages on the answering machine...

Shirakura Akira-san, it would be you.

Then you did this to my husband!

W-wait a second...

The fact that there were areas where the voices\Nseemed to fade in and out is the proof that you used this trick.

Is there any mistake?

H-hold on, I do think the trick was pretty amazing,

But how come I have to be the one that did it?

The only thing I did was leave a bunch of messages.

First of all, if I was the culprit, then\NI wouldn't come back to the scene...

The reason you came back to the scene\Nwas to retrieve one particular object, correct?

Yeah, the tape of the phone\Nwith plenty of your fingerprints on it.

When I saw the tape earlier, I saw with just one\Nglance that many prints of someone were still left on it.

Also that this was an unprepared, momentary crime.

Probably, you met with Mr. Hirota tonight\Nand got into a conflict because of something,

Then killed him unintentionally.

Luckily, you came up with this trick, and you were\Nable to make it seem like an accident in a locked room,

But it was an unprepared murder.

Without any gloves, no matter what\Nyou do, your prints will be left on the tape.

So you were planning to be the first person to find the body,\Nletting the Madam confirm that the scene was a locked room,

And switch the tape while she wasn't looking.

But it was discovered by us first and the police came.

You came here as the message said with no other choice.

The reason you left your own name in the\Nmessages was, even if you couldn't retrieve the cassette,

It would make it harder for one to see the trick.

If the tape contained lots of your\Nmessages, then we would focus on the tape.

Go look around Shirakura-san's place, Mr.\NHirota's floppy disks should be there somewhere.

It's impossible to look through\Nall the floppies in such a short time.

Then may we start at your home, Shirakura-san?

In the dashboard of my car parked in front of this house,

All the floppies are there.

The floppy with that picture as well.

That picture?

I said it earlier,

I am to do a "Model's Unusual Smile."

So I asked Hirota-sensei to send me the picture of\Nme dressed up as a woman during college years,

But the picture he sent me was with a letter\Nthat read "There's no better smile of you than this,"

Translator Note: This is your true past

My old face.

Your old face?

I changed my face when I became a model.

I changed my name as well.

I thought it was perfect.

With the makeup and the wig, my face is hard to tell,

And me dressed up as a woman would bring up laughs,

Of course, I wouldn't have had to\Nsend my old face to the company either.

I came to Sensei's house to plead him to give me that photo,

Oh, that silly picture of you dressed up as a woman,

I forget which floppy has it.

I'm sure the picture I sent you would be a big hit.\NIf you want, I'll send it to your company directly.

I got pissed off by those words... When I regained\Nmyself, Hirota-sensei had fallen on the floor before my eyes.

The rest is exactly as that person said.

Everything was all on the mark.

Then, please come with us to the station.

Sir!

Shirakura-san, it probably isn't my business,

But I'm sure Hirota-sensei wanted to tell you to not\Nbe so uncertain, but to be more confident of yourself.

That's probably why he sent you your old photo.

Those words... I wanted to hear\Nthem directly from Hirota-sensei's mouth.

It's a pity.

Wow, that was an amazing deduction.

It was thanks to you that the case was solved, Agasa-san.

Oh... Thanks... I wish for you to\Nreturn my floppy I came here to get...

I can't do that, all evidence\Nmust be checked at the station first...

So he says. What should we do?

We have no choice. I suppose\Nwe'll have to go home for now.

Alright, then I'll head home.

Have a safe trip.

Come on, you too.

Why?

Why didn't you... Help my sister?

Y-your... Sister?

You still don't know?

Hirota Masami was... My sister's\Nfake name she got from Mr. Hirota.

Then... That one billion dollar heist's Hirota Masami is...

Translator Note: The reason Conan didn't realize this before is\Nbecause Japanese names can be written in many different kanji\Ncombinations making the meaning behind ones name very unique

You can't go... Hirota Masami-san.

If you go, you'll be killed.

Thank you,

I'm sorry, Conan-kun.

Who is behind the black curtain?

Where are you,

Show yourself!

Well done, Hirota Masami.

No, Miyano Akemi.

Gunshot!

Masami-san...

Hold on, Masami-san.

It's a large organization consumed by mysteries.

The only thing I know about the\Norganization is that its color is black.

Black?

Right,

The way the individuals of the\Norganization can identify one another,

Is their black crow-like trench coat.

This... Please, before they realize...

I'll leave it to you, little detective...

That person was your sister?

That's right!

H... Hey...

With your... With all your deducing skills,

You should have been able to\Nsee right through my sister's case!

But... But... Why?!

Her quivering, tear-filled voice,

Brought back a nearly forgotten, sad case in my mind.

That... Was probably the first true face she ever showed me.

Like standing on top of ice, I want to do dangerous things.

I want to see the shapes of a drawn dream.

Forever my destiny.

Surely if a space ship descends before my eyes,

I would leave even my friends and go to space,

I may say that the days when nothing happens are the best but,

The truth is I'm running away, and lose to those days when you're not here.

Even if I like standing on top of ice, if I were secretly in love...

My heart would fly away faster than light.

Forever my destiny.

One week later, we finally got\Nthe floppies back from the police.

We decided to take a look at them\Nright away on the Professor's computer.

But, I'm surprised it passed the police's check up.

All disks from the organization will just be\Nnormal text files unless a password is inserted.

It won't be suspected.

How is it? Does it look like it has it?

Yes, and the data inside isn't just the drugs.

Before I got involved in the development of this drug,

All the people's names and adresses were\Nwritten on it along with their code names.

Including the ones that were\Ninvolved in the research of the drug as well.

I see, if this goes well, we can strip them naked.

Bro, that old man Hirota, I hear he died.

Yeah, it looks like we didn't need to do it ourselves.

But, we still don't know the\Nwhereabouts of that woman who disappeared.

We're searching the organization to see if there\Nmay have been anyone that helped her escape.

And now, all the places that\Nshe may go have just disappeared.

One of these days, she will come to us.

But Bro, I hear that the police\Ntook that floppy with the drug's data.

Don't worry about it. That floppy has a little trigger.

W-what the...

What was that...

Computer Virus, Night Baron.

What!!

If accessed by any computers outside the organization,

It is programmed on the floppy that the virus would activate.

I was too hasty.

Then all the data is...

Yes, all of it is gone.

The programs in the computer too.

Damn it...

It looks like I'm going to be with you for a long time,

Edogawa-kun.

Next Conan:

The Indiscriminate Stadium Threat Case\N(Part I)

Next Conan's hint!

Trash pickup day and crows.

The next evidence is really a surprise!

Leave it to crows.

Who are you?
