What lies in one's heart is a mystery to us all.

Star and snow glitter on the two.

The mysterious case using a vase.

Reenacting the scene of the Case.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

We, the members of the Youth Detective Squad

end up helping Mr. Morita look for the lost wristwatch

in place of Pops.

While we were looking for the wristwatch at Mr. Morita's condo,

Ms. Eiko Idezuki, a resident of the same condo comes over

and starts watching a movie in the audio room.

In the meantime,

we found the wristwatch in the washing machine!

Just then...

We heard the flower vase crack from the audio!

We rushed over to see what happened

and found Ms. Idezuki hit on the head with the flower vase

and killed!

The killer is most likely Mr. Morita.

However, he has an alibi

and it would've been impossible for him to commit the crime.

How did he do it?

And, there's one more thing that bothers me.

It seems that someone is secretly checking up on Mr. Mouri.

We found that the investigation records

that Mr. Mouri handled up within town were all disappeared

from the police department.

And, when did the papers disappear?

I think it was...

the day when you and the others got messed up in a bus-jack.

No, the one they're after is not Pops,

but maybe...

And maybe they are...

"Forgotten Keepsake of a Crime (Part 2)"

Shinichi, what did Officer Takagi say?

It's nothing important.

Just as I thought,

you refuse to tell us anything.

Come off it, the same to you.

I guess so.

What's this? Are you hiding something after all, Shinichi?

No, that's not it.

Although he doesn't think of what will happen

when he is pushed forward by justice and pursues only the truth at times,

he yet at times, takes on all the pressure alone,

so as not to hurt anybody.

That character of yours, boyish and dangerous.

It's extremely interesting.

But I wonder if you're at all aware

that the pure fragrance of yours

is binding all the girls, including me

as well as yourself up in an isolated and dangerous fragrance.

Kudo.

Hey.

Don't you smell something odd?

Now that you mentioned it, it does smell like something is burning.

Maybe it's the microwave oven over there?

There's no mistake about it, the smell's coming from in here!

But, there's nothing inside.

Conan?

This is dried flower, isn't it?

Or it was thrown away because it withered.

If so, that should be somewhere near here.

Darn, where is it?

It's impossible to hide anything so conspicuous away so easily.

Don't tell me it's in another room?

There are some more sandwiches left!

May I eat this?

Gosh, Genta, you're such a pig.

Sandwich?

Wait a second.

Maybe...

I found it!

I found it! This was a trick after all!

Which means that inside the audio room...

What is it, Conan?

I was playing flying a paper plane in the afternoon

and it went on top there.

Where?

Behind the curtain above the television!

Will you please get it for me, please?

Okay... I'll get it for you now.

Gosh. Sometimes he acts really intelligent,

but sometimes he acts like any other kid.

There's nothing here, Conan.

There's no sign of an airplane anywhere.

It's full of machines!

It's amazing!

Hey! Just what do you think you're doing?

Put him down quick!

Yes, sir!

You sure have a lot of decks, don't you?

Yes, I put all the decks that have gotten old

and out of use on the top shelves.

Conan?

A timer?

Come down, Conan!

I see. So that's what it was.

Ms. Idezuki was watching unaware whatsoever

that this would be the last movie that she would be watching.

That she was going to be

a part of the ruthless story

that Mr. Morita had schemed.

"Mouri Detective Agency"

It's strange.

They didn't mention about going out or anything.

Hey, I told them!

Okay, and what did Inspector Megure say?

He says it's an interesting deduction,

so he'll cooperate!

Okay! Next, it's you guys then!

Do exactly as I told you, now!

Okay...

You sure look worried.

You're worried about your precious girl, aren't you?

It's okay. I don't know what Officer Takagi told you,

but just make sure that you don't blow your cool

and reveal your identity or anything about the organization to her.

Well, I can see that your feet are off the ground

after receiving chocolate from her because after all you are a guy.

Come on! My feet are not off the ground.

I haven't told her a thing.

What?

But Shinichi, you accepted the chocolate from Ran, didn't you?

Yes.

Then you must've something in return for it...

She would want to see me.

If I say anything now,

she is going to miss me even more.

The hateful guy is just one-sidedly telling her

to wait for him

and can't even appear before her.

I don't want to see her cry anymore.

Even if it means blotting my existence out of her.

I'm so childish, what a laugh.

It hurts, doesn't it? The feeling's mutual.

What? Something was stolen?

Really?

It's true!

A strange thing disappeared!

The killer was actually a thief!

Please come to the kitchen.

Let's go, Mr. Morita.

Yes.

And? What is it that was stolen?

It's this!

A bowl?

No! It isn't the bowl that was stolen

but the bottom of the bowl!

See!

The bottom of the bowl with the same pattern of that bowl is there,

but the bottom of this bowl is gone, right?

True.

The bottom of that bowl was gone when I bought it.

It seems to have been a detective item.

Inspector! Everything's ready!

Ready?

If it's okay with you, we'd like you to stand witness too!

It's just a simple on-site investigation.

What? Okay.

Shall we go then?

To the audio room where Ms. Idesuki was struck to death

with the flower vase.

Please go ahead inside.

Yes.

The switch...

The switch of the video deck is on?

Is something wrong with the video deck on the shelf?

No, it's not the deck,

it's the stack of video tapes in front of it.

Excuse me. I put it there!

Because there're so many of them.

Well, the victim Ms. Idezuki rewound the video after watching it.

When she took it out of the deck,

she was attacked from behind by the killer, right?

Yes.

So, shall we use the video like she did

and replay the scene of the crime?

What?

Officer Takagi, you play the role of the killer.

Dr. Agasa, please play the role of the victim.

Well...

What? Anything?

Well, you see...

I... I'll do it!

Since Ms. Idezuki used to watch the video a lot in this room,

I think that a person who is familiar with this room is more appropriate.

It's that right!

Then, please do, by all means!

First, you insert the video tape into the video deck on the very bottom.

The victim sits in the chair and watches the movie all alone.

Is that right?

Yes.

Then the victim who finishes watching the video

rewinds the tape.

What's the matter?

Please rewind the tape!

Yes, sir!

While the tape is being rewound, the killer sneaks up behind her

with the flower vase that is at the front entrance.

And, as she is about to take the tape that is rewound out of the deck...

The killer flings up the flower vase.

Mr. Morita, quick, please take the tape out!

Yes... Yes!

Okay.

Well...

Why don't you use the remote controller?

-What? -Look!

The remote controller that you're holding

has an eject button!

That's...

I'll eject it for you then!

The video tape won't come falling

because the code number for the remote controller

for the video deck on the top shelf had been switched.

In other words, Mr. Morita,

this is how you committed the crime!

You rigged it so that the video deck you've been using on the lower shelf

and the video deck on the upper shelf

would operate with the same remote controller.

Then you put the tape in the video deck on the upper shelf.

Then you put the vase with the flower and water in it

in front of the eject slot of that tape deck.

Of course, you made sure it would fall by putting a tape under it!

After that, all you had to do

was close the curtain of that shelf to complete the scheme!

Then you showed Ms Idezuki the video

that she had been wanting to see

and lured her into this room.

If you tell her to rewind the tape

and return it to the video shop,

you knew that after she finishes watching the video,

she would use the remote controller to eject the tape

and at the same time,

the tape on the top shelf would also be ejected

and push the flower vase forward...

Just when she pulls the tape out of the deck,

the flower vase would come falling towards her.

In other words, so long as you were aware of her actions

when she frequented this room,

it wouldn't be difficult for you to set the timing right

so that the flower vase would fall on her!

Like so!

And the video deck on the top shelf had a function

that would push the tape back into the deck.

If it bumps into something,

so if you pre-record something into that tape

and break off the pin to prevent further recording,

the tape will automatically start to play.

Therefore, right after the flower vase falls on her,

the sound of footsteps of someone running

and the door closing would be heard,

making it look like someone from outside committed the crime!

We heard it very clearly

because she was watching the movie full blast.

You made her use the deck on the very bottom

to get the vase to fall from as high a distance as possible.

You rigged it so the video deck on the top shelf

would switch off with a timer

so that when the police opened the curtain,

you wouldn't be suspected, right?

I guess you already know that we've seen through your scheme.

But, the flower vase that you had at the front entrance...

It was this bowl!

You glued it together like sandwich

and put it on the counter of the front entrance, right?

You carried it secretly over to the kitchen

when you went to make the sandwiches,

disassembled it and hid it between the bowls!

These are the flowers that were inside the vase.

You dried it using the microwave oven and threw them away.

Poor thing, after your wife decorated the flowers there.

My wife didn't arrange those flowers.

Those flowers are out of place flowers

that the woman brought to my wife's funeral.

We didn't even have the money to buy flowers in this house anymore.

Stocks.

That woman urged my wife to do stocks behind my back.

She was eventually buried in debts and was driven to death.

Which means your wife's car accident...

Yes, the day after she told me about the stocks,

she ran in front of car and got run over.

That wristwatch was wrapped in a letter that she had written to me.

It said, "I don't want this to destroyed,"

"so I'm leaving this behind."

So...

Who cares whether the flowers that woman gave me

are withered or burned?

We'll hear the rest of your story out at the station.

But, I feel sorry for them nevertheless.

They were so beautiful

and flowers have such short lives.

They were forced to wither before their time came.

Yes.

I'm going to head on home then!

Yes,

flowers are fragile and short-lived.

No matter how much we try to protect them

from rain and wind and build fences around them,

flowers will wither in want of the sun.

If a storm comes,

a fragile fence cannot act as a shield at all.

Do you understand this, Kudo?

Darn! How come nobody's answering the phone?

Darn!

Ran, Pops!

Help!

I got you!

-Help! Somebody! -Right, it's dinner time.

-Nobody's going to come to help you! -They may be at home upstairs.

Ran!

Ran!

Dinner made part way.

The television in the office is left on.

Don't tell me that...

It seems that someone is secretly checking up on Mr. Mouri.

Don't tell me that...

the person...

Who is it?

Ran.

Bingo!

Hey... Where were you?

I went to the supermarket on second street!

Dad had a big win with the horse race!

A big win?

Dad was elated and said,

"We're having steak tonight! Go buy the meat and sake!"

That's why I left everything part way

and rushed over to go shopping!

Because unless I go right away,

the sell-out of meat all the time.

Where's Pops?

I think he's going around the neighbourhood boasting about his win.

Hold on just a while longer, Conan.

I'll make you a steak that's even more delicious

than that of first rate restaurants!

Ran.

What?

Well...

The man wearing a black knitted cap

maybe an acquaintance of mine.

What is it?

Black...

Black...

Don't burn the meat black.

How rude!

You can count on me!

I don't believe she knows him.

"Mouri Detective Agency"

Next Conan's hint:

"Circle, cross and triangle"
