Even destiny serves as a clue to a deduction.

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

The star of the show today is Genta.

Like you know he's not all that reliable, so let's all help him out.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

"Teitan Elementary School" -Dig in...

Listen, everybody!

Don't be picky and chew well when you eat!

Yes, madam...

Gosh.

I tell you, eating from a lunch plate in high school.

I feel like crying.

Oh, I sort of like this.

When I was in the States, I used to eat alone in the cafeteria.

That's why eating together with everybody like this

is interesting and very enjoyable.

Well, I felt nostalgic the first few time, too.

Oh, Mitsuhiko, you're not eating your carrots again.

Oh, I'm going to eat them all together at once later.

There are guys like him who push the food they don't like aside.

And, they are those who brag about how fast they can eat, too.

Well, in this class, the guy who just can't help but do so is...

I did it, I'm number one!

I was sure it was going to be Genta.

Ms. Kobayashi,

I don't feel well, so may I go to the infirmary and rest a while?

"Genta's Misfortune"

We've got a case here.

Genta has virtually not touched his food at all.

I wonder if he's on a diet?

No way, he's too fond of eating.

Come to think of it,

Genta hasn't been playing with us the past 2 to 3 days, has he?

Even after school, he'd go home ahead of us, all by himself.

Maybe he's being bullied by the seniors.

Don't be ridiculous, Genta's not the type to be bullied,

and even if he were, it would be safer for him

to go home with us, wouldn't it?

Maybe he's got problems at home.

Huh?

Maybe somebody in his family is seriously ill

or maybe they are having all-out quarrels every day.

If that's the case though,

it's not something that we can do anything about.

Oh, no.

No such thing is happening.

Ms. Kobayashi.

His parents are healthy and well, managing a liquor store.

I went to visit Genta's house yesterday because I was worried, too.

But it is true he is afraid of something.

They told me that he would pull the covers over himself

as soon as he got home and tremble.

But, what is he afraid of anyway?

Well, no matter how many times I ask him, he won't tell me.

He keeps saying it's nothing.

Maybe he'll tell you people.

When you find out what it is, will you please tell me about it, too?

Okay.

Wait, Genta!

What are you sneaking around for?

Are you training to become a ninja or something?

I see!

You're on a diet, that's why you didn't eat lunch,

so that you could get into shape.

Right.

I saw a real cool Ninja movie the other day so...

Don't be ridiculous!

Why would a person like that be trembling under covers?

I'll bet you dreamt that you were being slashed

by some blood smeared samurai warrior,

and running around from an illusionary enemy of some sort.

Dream, no way! I really...

You really?

You really what?

To tell the truth, I...

My life is being sought after by a killer!

Killer?

Stop joking, Genta.

There's no way that a killer would come after a grade school student!

She's right.

After all, he's not me nor you.

Hey.

I was stupid to have told you guys about it.

Hey, wait.

Genta, please tell us more in detail about it!

I won't laugh at you anymore.

I heard strange footsteps

when I was walking along the road under the railroad track.

It was pitch dark that I couldn't see the guy,

but when I stopped he stopped and when l ran he ran.

It was most likely your own footsteps echoing off the wall of the road.

That's not all!

I was pushed off the stairs of the pedestrian crossing,

and even last night, a motorbike ran a traffic light

and came right for me.

It was probably only a coincidence, mere coincidence.

It was no coincidence!

Because that guy...

The guy...

What a large screw.

It's dangerous.

I wonder where it came falling from?

The neon sign of the department store.

I'm sure the bolt was old and it fell off coincidentally.

This is just a bad day, a merely bad day!

Genta, maybe you'd better go get exorcised.

No. It's neither a bad day nor a coincidence.

Look,

there are traces of the wiring having been cut by a knife.

It was cut beforehand,

so that when the bolt is loosened

and the neon sign falls it doesn't get stuck.

If so, it would fall indiscriminately on anyone

who walks below the sign.

It seems that the target was set.

Take a look at this.

Isn't this the Kamen Yaiba toy that Genta is always looking at?

Which means that...

Yeah. It seems that just as Genta says,

somebody is after his life.

There seems to be no doubt about it.

Genta, tell me more in detail about this.

About why you're being targeted.

Okay.

What?

You saw a serial purse snatcher?

You mean you saw that purse snatcher who's been attacking

only aged people and women In this area recently?

Yeah.

He looked just like the wanted poster composite drawing

at the police station.

Did you tell the police?

Yeah, about a week later.

Because when I first saw him

there was no composite drawing posted.

I remembered that I saw the purse snatcher

after I saw the wanted poster,

but I forgot where I saw him.

But, I found the young man

who saw the purse snatcher together with me.

Saw him together with you?

Yeah. About 5 days ago,

there was a purse-snatching incident near my house,

so I went to look.

Then, I found the blonde guy who was standing beside me

when the purse snatching incident happened among the onlookers.

And, what happened after that?

Of course, I took that young man to the police that was over there!

But that young man said, I don't know the boy nor the purse snatcher.

Are you sure you saw the purse snatcher together with that man?

Yeah. When I saw the purse snatcher,

it seemed that man was sitting next to me.

So I was sure that he saw him, too.

What do you mean by it seemed?

I was sort of sleepy then,

so I just happened to notice that the man was beside me.

What about the purse snatcher, then?

He may have been around and he may have not.

People usually get sleepy,

when they are in a movie theater.

Or in a train.

Judging from what Genta is saying,

it seems that the purse snatcher is after him.

Gosh.

And why didn't you tell the police that somebody was after your life?

I got a phone call.

I'll kill you if you tell anybody about me!

I'll kill your friends family and everybody around you", he said.

That's why you didn't say anything till now.

Yeah.

But, we do have a problem.

If he has your phone number, he probably knows your address, too.

Yeah.

If we rush over to the police,

the culprit may mistakenly think that Genta recalled something,

and God knows what the culprit will do.

He could be watching us here in this shop right this minute.

And, don't you remember anything else

that could serve as a clue to finding the culprit?

I told the police officer too,

but he was smoking a cigarette with his left hand.

Which means that the culprit is left-handed!

He was wearing a strange looking T-shirt.

A black T-shirt with a white skeleton on it.

Like that. Like that.

He was wearing the same T-shirt as that one!

Excuse me, sir.

Are you the man who is after Genta's life?

His face is totally different.

What do you guys want with me?

Besides the T-shirt of the man I saw had 202 on it, not 1999!

Do you remember where you bought that T-shirt?

A clothes store in front of the station called Bones.

Thank you, sir.

Okay.

Okay, let's go check out that shop then.

Yes, that skeleton T-shirt is...

an original item of ours!

But, I wonder if we had anything that said 202.

What other kinds of T-shirts did you have?

1999, HELP, ESCAPE, all with some kind of pleading message.

Remember in the year 1999,

people made a fuss because of that prophecy, right?

We pushed our luck and started making those T-shirts.

Did you notice anyone suspicious

among the people who bought that T-shirt?

I wonder.

It was quite some time ago,

so l don't remember the faces of the customers.

Found nothing.

If you could only remember where you saw the culprit, Genta.

Wasn't it in a movie theater or on the train?

No, because smoking is not allowed in those places.

What about a family restaurant, then?

I'm sure that's it.

You probably were full and got sleepy.

But that guy wasn't eating anything.

I was staring at him for a while,

but all he did was glare at the newspaper and smoke cigarettes.

How come you can remember all that

and still cannot remember where you saw him?

I don't know why.

But, how strange.

If you stare at someone like that, it's most likely to get scolded.

Did you get scolded?

3 Nope. Besides, my eyes never met his.

I see. So, that's what it was.

The 202 skeleton shirt.

Left handed.

And a place where you don't get scolded

for staring at somebody for a long time.

Genta, I've figured it out.

The place where you witnessed the culprit.

Hey, Genta.

It was at a glasses shop, right?

The place where you saw the purse snatcher.

You said that you didn't get scolded

even when you kept on staring at him, right?

Yeah...

If the culprit had taken off his glasses to have his glasses cleaned,

he wouldn't be able to tell If somebody were looking at him

because everything would be blurred, right?

B.But, Conan, I never went to an eyeglasses shop.

You've gotta be kidding! Because look over there.

You're totally wrong!

Really? I thought I had it all figured out.

I guess that's it for the Holmes of this century then.

Well, well, it's only human to make mistakes.

Don't get depressed!

I'll see you all, then.

Let me know if you recall anything, okay?

Okay!

I wonder where it was that you saw the culprit, though, Genta.

A place where you don't get scolded for staring

and a place that makes you sleepy.

Maybe it's at school? Because Genta's always sleeping.

If such a person came to school, we would surely have seen him, too.

That's true.

Hey! Will you wait a sec? Right here.

My goodness.

You sure love to eat, don't you?

You're going to get fat.

Who cares? I can't help eating what I like.

You've got ice cream on your cheek, Genta.

What's the matter?

Did you remember something?

No, not really.

Please be careful on your way home, okay?

Bye!

Three skewers with green onions and chicken and 4 liver, please.

Okay!

I think I'm a little hungry.

But, you just ate ice cream a while ago!

It's French food!

Hey, hold your horses!

It's only a little way more to home.

Red, white and blue...

What about the French flag?

Hey, Ayumi, doesn't red, white and blue look familiar?

I wonder.

But, Conan is always wearing a red bow-tie,

a white shirt and a blue jacket.

Don't tell me that the purse snatcher you saw was...

Don't be silly. Conan would never do something like snatch purses.

I don't know why,

but the colors red, white and blue are spinning inside my head.

I'll see you around, Genta! Go straight home, okay?

Yeah.

If you get any fatter than you are now,

you'll be the laughingstock of the pigs.

Shut up!

Seriously, that girl, Ayumi.

All she can ever say is fatso, fatso.

I'm not all that fat.

I got it! It was over there!

The 7th floor of the station building,

in front of the elevator.

Hold the elevator!

Wait a sec!

What floor, sonny?

Seventh floor, please.

Hey, sonny!

The blonde man.

I'm sorry about last time.

It seemed to have slipped my mind.

I remember now.

The place where I saw the purse snatcher with you.

Don't talk so loud.

He may be looking from somewhere, right?

Don't tell me that he came after you, too?

Yeah, I just remembered a while ago, too.

I thought it'd be better to see if both our stories match

before we head off to the police.

Right, let's go to the men's room

where nobody will come around.

No doubt about it!

This guy.

What?

I'm sure he wrote the name "Shibata" on the customer's list.

Who are you?

If you get funny, you're really going to get it.

Left handed, with a 202 skeleton T-shirt.

With the testimony that Genta gave,

it's no surprise that the police couldn't make out who the culprit was.

Because Genta was watching your reflection in the mirror.

You guys are the kids 4 that were around a while ago.

Right.

Genta didn't get scolded for staring at you

because he was looking at your reflection through the mirror.

In other words, the 202 that was reflected in the mirror

was actually SOS.

You're not left-handed, but actually right-handed.

A place that Genta would go,

where there is a mirror,

and moreover, get you sleepy.

Where else would it be but a barber, right?

And, Genta mistakenly thought that he saw the culprit with you...

is because you dyed your hair blonde while he was asleep.

The man with glasses and black hair turns blonde.

Since your clothes were covered under the cloth

and you were seated next to Genta.

That's why he thought you were another person.

What is this kid talking about? And he doesn't even have proof.

A witness is standing right behind you.

The barber who dyed your hair.

You were lucky because he hates to watch TV.

And, there were no posters with composite drawings of you

along the road where he used to walk.

You may have thought that you could easily commit the next crime

by simply dyeing your hair back to black,

and that you'd never get caught.

But your fingerprints were left on the bag

that you previously attempted to snatch and failed.

If the fingerprints match your fingerprints,

now you have no way out, do you?

Then what?

You mean this kid was going all over town because...

I wanted to lure you over here.

The ice cream that was on his mouth was shaving foam

that you use when shaving your face.

The French flag that is red, white and blue

is the spinning pole of the barber.

And the reflection on the glass window was the mirror.

Everything ended up reminding him of a barber.

We had Genta pretend that he recalled the barber,

so that the blonde-haired man, you would follow him

and walk into our trap.

You've gotta be kidding!

What do you think you're doing you broad?

You're so dumb.

Do you really think I'd walk all over town

just to lure you out here?

What?

Right. While Genta

was making you run around town and buying time,

we called the cops, so you're surrounded.

Therefore, the purse snatcher was arrested.

The case was solved just like that.

Conan, you really gave it to that guy, didn't you?

Are you really a grade-schooler?

I just copied the police officer that I saw on a TV drama!

I see.

The Youth Detective Squad does it again!

Genta, I think you're sleeping a bit too much.

You were asleep all the time the man was getting his hair dyed blonde.

The barber told me that he didn't wake me

because I seem to be sleeping so soundly.

Well, but they do say, children who sleep well grow fast.

Aren't you glad that the culprit was not left-handed

and right-handed just like you assumed?

Well, I guess if it were them,

I guess they would've come after me, instead of Genta.

So, I guess it wasn't them.

Hey, don't tell me you're talking about...

If you didn't know, you'd better remember this well.

Gin is left-handed, too.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Cell Phone"

In the next episode.

I, the renowned detective will...

You'll what?
