Even destiny serves as a clue to deduction.

And the light of truth pierces through the most mysterious case.

Today's stage takes place in a wine cellar.

Aged wine is the key to the crime.

He sees through the one and only truth.

A child in appearance with the I.Q. of an adult.

His name is Detective Conan!

"The Locked Wine Cellar"

What a wonderful collection you have indeed!

How pleasing to the eye!

So, you're quite knowledgeable about wine, Mr. Mouri.

Oh, well...

"Shohei Kusaka (52)" -Just as expected of a renowned detective,

to know of this collection.

Oh, no. It's nothing like that.

This collection of labels

is one that a noble family of Europe had collected

over a long period of years.

Mr. Mouri seems to have done it.

I guess we won't be having wine for a while then.

Huh? Won't be having wine for a while?

Your father...

"Takeo Nonaka (42)" -just complimented the collection, right?

Then what happens is...

As if a switch is turned on,

he won't stop bragging about the collection.

"Jokichi Tonomura (40)" -Mr. Mouri is going to be stuck there

for a while.

In other words, he's a wine freak.

"Yukari Takano (38)" -Well, all he does

is repeat the same dialog over and over.

He'll say something like, "This is the gem of the whole collection

that is very hard to get a hold of."

This is Moselle wine,

a superb article that is very hard to get a hold of.

Most people get fed up with his boasting

and avoid coming to this party.

Your father was given a handkerchief like this, wasn't he?

Yes.

He received a handkerchief with his initials

from Mrs. Kusaka a while ago.

Oh, so he did after all.

Anyone that Kusaka takes a liking to would definitely gets one.

See, I got one too.

But the worse is yet to come.

He's going to keep inviting you to come to his parties.

Well, I advise you to tell your father

to never borrow money from Kusaka.

If he does, he won't be able to turn down attending the party.

So, you've all borrowed money from Mr. Kusaka?

Oh, that's...

Hey, Conan!

You sure hit a sore spot, sonny.

You're absolutely right.

All three of us owe Kusaka money.

Mr. Nonaka borrowed money for gambling.

Ms. Takano, for management funds for the art gallery that she runs.

And me, for money to train myself as a sommelier.

Oh, what are you all talking about?

You all seem to be enjoying the conversation.

Oh, we were just talking about how nice it is

to come to Mr. Kusaka's party

because we get to drink fine wine here.

My husband would be so happy to hear that.

By the way, Mrs. Kusaka,

what do you say we begin wine tasting soon?

He's so absorbed in Mr. Mouri

that it seems he's forgotten about us.

All right, I'll go and tell him right now.

Please do so.

Oh, right!

Now that you're here,

let me show you my wine cellar in the basement.

Huh? Oh, well...

I've got my best wines in there.

Dear.

The other guests are waiting for you to start the wine tasting.

Oh, no!

I had completely forgotten!

Thank God.

Hi, everybody,

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting.

I thought the party was going to end the way things were going.

Pardon me for my rudeness.

Right! What do you say that

we change plans for wine tasting

and have Mr. Tonomura, the sommelier pick out the right wine?

Well, it does sound interesting.

If he's a sommelier it's only natural

that he chooses all the wines correctly.

Well, if Mr. Kusaka suggest to do so,

he must have some very secret item in his possession.

It is only natural for a sommelier to get the names of the wines right.

But if he misses, he loses face.

Therefore, there's got to be some merit for going through this.

Okay, then let's do this.

If Mr. Tonomura gets all the wines right,

I'll take on the you-know-what thing.

I see.

I guess I'll just have to do it then.

Okay, everyone,

please enjoy yourselves to your heart's content.

Here goes!

Let me see...

It's a good wine.

This is Solaia from the Toscana district in Italy.

Just as expected of you.

Just as expected of you, Mr. Tonomura.

There's far more to go, he's just warming up.

This is very rare wine indeed!

Chateau Latour, isn't it?

Moreover of 1965.

Well, utterly fantastic!

He sure is a true sommelier!

It's as if he knew what wines were going to be given to him!

Not really. Everything so far

requires only a beginner sommelier's knowledge.

Well, I'm so sorry that all the wine

I have offered you to taste so far were all for beginners.

Let me give you the best of my collection, then!

Oh, no.

So he rushes off to his pride and joy wine cellar.

I feel a bit sorry for him.

He's just getting a taste of his own medicine.

Why don't we take a short break, everyone?

I'm a bit tired myself.

I'm going to get a bit of fresh air and sober up.

I guess I'll go to the restroom.

Gosh, that sure makes us nervous, right?

Yes.

I can't tell at all.

Mr. Mouri?

Yes?

Don't you think Mr. Kusaka is taking a bit too long?

It's been 40 minutes since he went to his wine cellar.

Has it been that long already?

Excuse me, did you mention my husband?

Oh, Mrs. Kusaka.

It's been 40 minutes since your husband went down to the wine cellar

and he hasn't come back yet.

Goodness. I wonder what he's doing,

making his guests wait like this?

I'm so sorry, I'll go and get him right away.

Mrs. Kusaka, let me go with you.

After all, something may have happened.

Thank you, please do.

Hey, Conan! Wait!

Please be careful because the stairs is quite steep.

Yes.

Dear?

What's wrong?

Mr. Kusaka!

Mr. Kusaka!

Are you all right, Mr. Kusaka?

Mrs. Kusaka, where's the key to this room?

Huh? Here it is.

Mr. Mouri, how is my husband?

Mrs. Kusaka, please call the police.

Your husband has been killed.

Mrs. Kusaka!

Mrs. Kusaka, please get a hold of yourself!

Mrs. Kusaka!

Why?

Why is he lying on the ground in such an unnatural position?

Why?

The victim is Shohei Kusaka, age 52.

He is the man of this house and runs a financial institution.

The cause of death is suffocation

due to strangulation by the rope

that was found around his neck.

Can you explain the circumstances when you found the body?

Yes, sir.

Since Mr. Kusaka didn't come back for quite a while,

I came here to check on him together with Mrs. Kusaka.

Then, we found him lying on his back on the floor.

What about the door, was it locked?

Yes.

Inspector!

Mrs. Kusaka told me

that these are the keys that Mr. Kusaka had on him.

It's the key to the wine cellar and to the house.

The door of the wine cellar are auto-locks,

and the only ones who had both keys were Mr. and Mrs. Kusaka.

She's says there are no other spare keys.

So, the door are auto-locks.

Officer Tome, how's the window over there?

Nothing here.

There is dust accumulated on the dust shelf

and there are no traces of anyone having broken in from outside.

Besides, as you can see,

the handle on this window is on the inside.

So, it would be extremely difficult to access the window

from the outside.

Moreover, look there.

That's an alarm system,

so if the window is forced open,

the alarm system is set to go off immediately.

The switch to that alarm system is this.

When you push the switch of the remote control

that is attached to the keys.

The alarm system is turned off

and the window can be opened.

And when the window is closed again,

the alarm system switches back on.

I see.

It'd be impossible for the killer to go in and out of that window.

If so,

we can narrow down the killer quite a bit, right, Inspector?

I mean, the killer is an acquaintance of Mr. Kusaka.

The person probably had Mr. Kusaka himself open the door

and came into the wine cellar.

Then, committed the murder.

Wine bottles were probably cracked and lying around Mr. Kusaka

beause the killer and Mr. Kusaka had a fist fight or something?

Most likely.

But wouldn't that be sort of strange, too?

Take a look over here.

The wine bottles on the very top of the low shelf are toppled.

But there's nothing's wrong with the wine bottles

on the shelves on this side.

If they really had a fist fight in a clustered place like this,

wouldn't everything be more messed up?

I see. That's quite true.

It's just coincidence!

What are these traces on the floor?

The two traces seem to have been made by

rubbing something strongly against the floor.

Inspector, let's go

and take a look at the back of the house.

If there are no traces of anyone having come in

-Wait a second. -from the back door,

somebody in this house is the killer.

Maybe...

There are no traces of the back door

having been broken into.

Maybe a spare key was secretly made...

Oh, I think that is unthinkable.

What do you mean?

The keys of this house

are all special electronic keys.

An electronic key is not something

that you can easily have made in a hardware store in town.

You can't make a spare

unless you place an order to the manufacturer.

Now, it's pretty much definite that the killer

is someone who is within the premises.

Where are the people of this house and the guests?

I have them waiting in the living room.

Okay, let's go hear them out.

Hey, Conan!

Just what do you think you're doing up there?

Oh, well...

I'm just practicing the horizontal bar.

What?

Inspector!

What's the matter, Officer Chiba?

We got a report from the identification officers just now saying

that they found two pairs of fingerprints

other than Mr. Kusaka's and Mrs. Kusaka on the wine cellar's door.

One was that of Yukari Takano, a guest at the party.

And the other one of Jyokichi Tonomura.

What?

Okay, let's go to the living room.

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir.

Officer Chiba. Take care of Conan, will you?

Yes, sir!

What?

Hey...

Officer Chiba.

What is it, Conan?

You know...

I haven't heard that something like that has been found.

Have you heard anything, Officer Tome?

No, I haven't heard of any such report.

I've found the conclusive evidence.

I'm sure the killer still has it

because the killer haven't been able to throw it away.

What?

Are you saying that the killer is among us?

Please give us a decent explanation, Inspector!

I'm saying that judging from the circumstances at the scene,

it is most likely that someone in this house

had committed the murder.

That goes for you two in particular, Mr. Tonomura and Ms. Takano.

Both of your fingerprints

were found on the door of the wine cellar.

Hey, hold it there, will you?

I did go to the wine cellar!

To ask him to loan me more money.

But I didn't go inside!

How about you, Ms. Takano?

I went to the wine cellar to ask him

to extend the period of which to repay my loan,

but I didn't go inside either!

What about you, Mr. Nonaka?

Huh?

After Mr. Kusaka left the room,

I was strolling around the yard.

So, I haven't gone to the wine cellar.

I see.

Where were you, Mrs. Kusaka?

I was in the kitchen the whole time.

In order to go to the wine cellar,

I had to come through this living room

where Mr. Mouri and everyone else were.

I was seated at the table of the living room all the while,

but Mrs. Kusaka never left the living room.

Hey, Pops.

I found something strange in the wine cellar.

Something strange?

Hey, Conan. Where is that strange stuff?

I'd like you to call my lawyer!

Right! I won't say a word until then!

Now, now. Please calm down.

Excuse me for a moment.

Hello, Megure here.

What? You've figured out who the killer is?

Everyone, let me explain.

How this ruthless murder was committed

and disclosed who did it, too.

Just a while ago, I mentioned that

the killer is among the three people here.

There is no doubt about that!

What?

First, the two whose fingerprints were found on the door.

Mr. Tonomura and Ms. Takano.

They are not the killers.

Hey, then are you saying that the killer is not here?

No, the killer is here.

The killer is here? Then...

Yes!

The killer is you, Mr. Nonaka!

Wait a minute.

I was in the yard at that time.

I didn't even go near the wine cellar!

Shall we replay the situation then?

First, you went around to the backyard,

and knocked on the window of the wine cellar.

Oh, I forgot to mention the role of the killer

will be played by Officer Chiba.

Then, Mr. Kusaku turned off the alarm system

and opened the window.

Officer Takagi!

Yes?

Please play the role of the victim.

Yes, sir.

Then, Mr. Nonaka lured Mr. Kusaku out into the yard.

Saying something like you would explain what trick

Mr. Tonomura used during the wine tasting.

Mr. Nonaka killed Mr. Kusaku in the backyard when he was off guard.

Then Mr. Nonaka went to the backdoor to lock the door

with the keys he took,

and then put the keys back into the victim's pocket.

Wait, Mr. Mouri.

Then how did he put Mr. Kusaku into the wine cellar?

Even if he were to throw him in from the window,

wouldn't it be impossible to Iie him down in the center of the cellar?

He used the clothes rack pole!

The clothes rack pole?

Mr. Nonaka lined two poles up together

and laid the dead body on it like so.

He pulled the pole through Mr. Kusaku's belt

to keep the space between the poles from widening.

Then he pushed the poles through the window

and if you tilt the angle...

I see!

The wine bottles broke when Mr. Kusaku's legs

knocked them off the shelf!

Finally, the pole is pulled out.

It is similar to the time Mr. Kusaku was found,

what about the window?

He hooked a narrow wire or something on the tab of the window

then pulled on it with all his might.

It closed.

In this way, it is possible to lie Mr. Kusaku on the floor

between the shelves without coming into the wine cellar.

That's all a bunch of baloney!

Do you have evidence?

Would you be so kind to show me your handkerchief?

The one with your initials on them that Mr. Kusaku gave you.

When Mr. Kusaku was dropped, some wine bottles broke.

Wine would then naturally splatter onto the poles.

But no wine was found on the poles.

That's because you wiped off the wine

to hide your trick of having used the poles.

Since you didn't expect the wine bottles to break,

you wiped it off with the handkerchief you had.

I'm sure you still have it with you

because if you threw it away,

it would be obvious that it's yours.

Darn it!

He's... he's the one to blame!

He lends money and demands ridiculously high interest.

Then, when it becomes inconvenient for him,

he demands that you pay him back the next day!

You've got to be kidding! I've got employees to feed, too!

That's why I did for the sake of everyone else!

You fool!

No matter what your reasons are, murder is murder!

You can't look away from the fact that you took someone's life!

Think deeply about it.

Thank you for the good job, Mr. Mouri!

Yes, thank you.

Yes. You, too.

Mr. Mouri, I'll make it up to you one of these days.

Did I lend him something?

Oh, well...

You can take your time paying me back!

It hurts.

I'm sorry, Officer Takagi.
