Original subtitles

Love and hate are brought together.

Through both reasoning and suspense.

Today's episode is the 300th.

We want to show our appreciation to our fans

with a touching solution.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Kogoro, Ran and I travel to the Kanmon Strait

which connects Honshu and Kyushu,

we meet a group of four former high school classmates there.

The next day, another classmate,

Seiji Hario is found dead.

The police suspect the four at first

but their alibis check out

and they are cleared.

But...

I've got it.

I know how to break their alibis now.

"Friendship and Murder at the Kanmon Strait (Part 2)"

"Shimonoseki Central Police Station"

Something's bothering me though.

What is it?

Hey listen, that surveillance camera you mentioned,

is it the ceiling type?

You were made a peace sign.

Why you... Stop butting in...

Ceiling type?

Peace.

"Human Tunnel (Shimonoseki side) Entrance"

What did you say?

Are you telling me you didn't get a clear look at his face?

Yeah, the camera's aimed at an angle.

But I'm sure it was him

because he was wearing the same clothes

in the picture you showed me.

But...

If you didn't see his face,

you don't know for sure it was him.

Conan! When'd you sneak in here?

But Mr. Mouri, what if this man wasn't really Mr. Hario?

Yes. He might have been killed way before this

which means, anyone of those four could have committed the murder.

"Karato Pier"

I want to apologize for calling you out like this.

It's alright. But why me?

It's my father's fault.

I think he still suspects you and your friends.

"Eiko Nojima (30)"

I see.

That Seiji Hario was a horrible guy himself, wasn't he?

He was responsible for breaking you and Hondo up

and yet he said he didn't know who Hondo was.

I'm sure Hondo can't rest in peace.

I'm sorry.

No need to apologize.

Pitiful, aren't I?

Calling you out to talk about something like this.

You're in love with someone, aren't you, Ran?

No. I mean...

I wonder what those people are doing over there?

That lighthouse is known as "The Lovers' Lighthouse".

The Lovers' Lighthouse?

When lovers place their hands on the lighthouse together and pray,

they'll be able to overcome any obstacle and be married.

Eiko.

Have you been on the ropeway?

The one at Hinoyama.

No.

Why don't we go now?

Okay.

"Karato Marketplace"

Yes. No mistake about it.

Mr. Akitaya got a call right after he got here.

He got here a little before 11 am, I think.

And if I remember right, we were talking for about an hour.

I guess Mr. Akitaya was telling us the truth.

So where's this Kaikyokan?

On the other side of the bridge.

It's about a five minute walk from here.

You mean this marketplace where Mr. Akitaya was

and the ferry landing where Mr. Otsubo was

and Kaikyokan where Ms. Nojima and Ms. Isaka

were are all within walking distance.

Yes, I remember these two very well.

They were both so pretty,

they called someone from that walkway.

Then they went to watch the performing seal act at 11 am.

So that means...

Excuse me, Miss.

That man you were just talking to sent me here

to ask you something he forgot.

What is it, kid?

The employee over there didn't remember Mr. Otsubo either.

I knew it.

But Mr. Mouri,

Akane Isaka and Eiko Nojima saw him get on the 11 o'clock ferry

from over there.

But Ms. Isaka and Mr. Otsubo are engaged to each other.

But Eiko Nojima claims she saw him too.

That's what I don't understand.

Conan! Are you still following us around?

I noticed Ms. Nojima only uses her glasses when she's driving.

Glasses?

When she was leaving the police station yesterday,

she put her glasses on when she got in the car.

What?

When I asked at the aquarium,

they told me she wasn't wearing glasses then.

I guess she only needs them to look at things that are far away.

That's it. They used her.

They used her.

What do you mean?

"Hinoyama Ropeway"

Is that right?

Yes.

Wow, this is fantastic.

Did you and Hondo come here on your dates?

Yes.

He and I didn't like crowded places.

The others,

Akitaya, Otsubo and Akane were always watching over us.

How nice...

You were all very close, weren't you?

I can't understand how father can suspect such nice people like you,

he's awful.

I'm the one that's awful.

What was that?

Are you saying Mr. Akitaya, Mr. Otsubo and Ms. Isaka

worked together and killed Mr. Hario?

That's right.

Then they came up with fool proof alibis using Ms. Nojima.

Are you sure?

The Mr. Otsubo that Ms. Nojima says she saw from here was a fake.

He was an imposter.

-An imposter. -An imposter. But...

how do you know only the three of them were in on it?

Wouldn't it be logical to assume

that Ms. Nojima was in on it too?

She and Ms. Isaka met in front of this aquarium.

We know it's true because we have witnesses.

If she was in with them,

she and Ms. Isaka would have come here together.

Because that would give them time to work out their plan.

I see what you mean.

Can you get those four together again?

I'll explain everything then.

I'll get right on it.

Yes. Anzai here.

What did you say?

What's wrong?

It seems Ms. Nojima just turned herself in

for the murder of Mr. Hario.

Eiko Nojima?

I don't understand.

This morning, I think it was about 10:00 am.

I went to the hotel Seiji was staying at

and asked to talk to him.

I took him to the area near the Kanmon Bridge.

To the same place Hondo committed suicide 12 years ago

when his dream was taken away by Hario.

At that same place,

I asked him

to apologize to Hondo,

even if it was one just word.

But, he...

just laughed.

He did it to himself, it's all his fault.

Why should I apologize to a piece of trash like him for?

Before I realized what I was doing, I...

He fell slowly then stopped moving.

After she hit him, he fell and then stopped moving?

Then I wonder why...

What made you turn yourself in?

I never imagined Akitaya or the others would be involved in this.

I didn't want to drag them into this on my account.

I still want to talk to the other three.

Mr. Mouri, you still think those three were in on it too, don't you?

There're too many things that can't be explained clearly.

Then why is Ms. Nojima insisting she did it herself?

To protect them.

They're all former classmates,

she probably thinks friendship means she has to protect them.

That's it. That explains everything.

That means...

So a call came in on their cellular

and all of a sudden they got shocked?

Yes. Then they both ran out of here.

I knew it.

Then that person's the only one who could've done it.

Eiko Nojima has confessed that she alone is responsible

for the death of Seiji Hario, but...

I do not believe her.

Toru Akitaya. Keisuke Otsubo. Akane Isaka.

You three killed him.

Now wait just a minute.

Just sit down.

You'll have a chance to talk later.

Mr. Akitaya, you hated Mr. Hario

because of the unexpected and unfair news of your company's buy out.

That was probably your motive.

And Mr. Otsubo and Ms. Isaka,

went along with your plan out of deep friendship.

Slightly past 10 am,

you three called Mr. Hario out

and killed him by the Kanmon Bridge.

Then you worked up very detailed alibis.

Mr. Otsubo dressed himself up as Mr.Hario

and Mr. Akitaya dressed himself up as Mr. Otsubo.

Then Ms. Isaka called Ms. Nojima and asked her to meet her.

At 10:50 am, the two meet in front of Kaikyokan.

Look, it's Otsubo.

Ms. Isaka made Ms. Nojima think

Mr. Otsubo was getting on the 11:00 am ferry.

But, the person on the landing

was actually Mr. Akitaya wearing Mr. Otsubo's clothes.

They used the fact that she had poor eyesight.

Of course Mr. Akitaya never got on that ferry.

He hid Mr. Otsubo's clothes somewhere

then went to the Karato Marketplace for his meeting.

Then at the 11:00 am, the appointed time.

Mr. Otsubo, disguised as Mr. Hario,

makes the call to Mr. Akitaya.

What do you mean his ghost?

I've heard enough nonsense.

They made it look like Mr. Hario was killed after 11 am

so that they could all have alibis.

Mr. Otsubo disguised himself as Mr. Hario who was already dead

and Mr. Akitaya disguised himself as Mr. Otsubo giving him his alibi.

Ms. Isaka used Ms. Nojima's poor eyesight

to backup Mr. Otsubo's alibi.

And that's how they worked it.

He's wrong.

That's awful. You're all friends,

how could you use Eiko like that?

No, Ran, you're mistaken.

Mr. Mouri, you're wrong.

I killed Hario.

But Ms. Nojima...

What's the matter, Mr. Mouri?

Is this the Sleeping Kogoro pose I've heard so much about?

But the case's already solved...

90 percent of what I just said is true

but I need to make a few corrections.

Are you trying to say Mr. Akitaya and his friends

weren't in it together?

I thought they were at first

but that turned out to be a mistake.

-A mistake. -Conan!

A little past 10 this morning,

Ms. Isaka and Mr. Otsubo were shopping in Moji

when Ms. Isaka got a call on her cellular.

The two of them got very shocked and they ran out of the store.

Mr. Otsubo, Ms. Isaka.

That call was from Mr. Akitaya, wasn't it?

He told you Ms. Nojima had killed Mr. Hario, right?

Mr. Akitaya probably went to see Mr. Hario

about his company's buy out.

When he got there,

he saw Ms. Nojima has gotten there first

and was taking him somewhere.

He was worried about her

so he followed them,

that's when he witnessed it.

Mr. Akitaya called you and told you what happened

and when you two found out, you rushed over there.

The three of you then thought you had to do something

to protect Ms. Nojima,

that's when you thought of what I explained earlier.

They did it for me.

Of course. After all, we're all friends, aren't we?

Then who is the murderer?

Like I've been saying from the start, I did it.

Did you hit him twice?

Twice?

There are indications

the victim was struck twice in the back of the head.

That can't be.

I only hit him once.

Ms. Nojima, I have no doubt you struck Mr. Hario.

But that blow didn't kill him.

You ran away thinking that you'd killed him.

But he later regained consciousness.

Isn't that right, Mr. Akitaya?

Mr. Hario was really killed

by the fatal blow delivered

after he regained consciousness.

And person who could have done it

is the one who stayed behind after Ms. Nojima had left,

Mr. Akitaya, it was you.

Darn, that Eiko...

You'll pay for this.

Yes, you're right.

It was me, I killed Hario.

But... how...

how did you know he regained consciousness?

There was a lot of dirt and grass on the tips of his fingernails

and there were scratches on his fingertips

like they'd clutched the ground.

But according to Ms Nojima's statement...

He fell slowly then stopped moving.

If that were the case though,

his fingers wouldn't be in the condition they were.

And that's what told me,

Mr. Hario had regained consciousness after Ms. Nojima had left,

he clutched his head with his left hand

and put all his strength into his right hand

to pull himself up, he made several attempts...

and that's when the fatal blow was delivered.

The company...

I couldn't stand the thought of him buying it,

that's why I did it.

Are you sure...

that was your only reason?

If you hadn't done what you did,

I'm sure he would have gone to the police

and told them what Ms. Nojima had done.

You wanted to protect her.

Isn't that right, Mr. Akitaya?

Akitaya...

Still, it doesn't matter what the motive was

or what kind of person he was,

no human being should take another's life,

it's unforgivable.

Shinichi?

Shin...

Ran!

Conan.
