The rhythm of the wind sharpens the skill of deduction.

Black entanglement also unravels.

The contact is a matter of life and death this time.

What will Gin and Vodka do?

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

After getting a clue from Mr. Itakura who had been murdered

of how to get in contact with the Black Organization,

Dr. Agasa and I came to his villa.

While we were there, we get a call from Vodka.

Hey, what's going on?

You're there, aren't you?

I know you're at the villa.

Hurry up and answer me,

Mr. Itakura.

Hey!

Oh, sorry. It's so dark in here

that I was having trouble picking up the phone.

I pretended to be Mr. Itakura

and talked Vodka into making me promise to meet him

at the coin locker located in the basement

of the Kenbashi Subway Station.

All right, I got them.

But on our way there,

Dr. Agasa's car went flat on a mountain path.

So, we got a car that was passing through to give us a lift,

and was somehow able to make it to Tokyo, but...

Strange.

There's something fishy about them.

Don't tell me that...

Don't tell me that they're...

"Contact with the Black Organization (Desperate Battle Edition)"

We're almost there, you guys.

Your destination, Kenbashi Station.

But isn't that place still under construction?

The train won't come even if you go there.

We live near the station.

How convenient.

I guess so.

Hey, Shinichi, are you really going to go?

Yes.

I've come up with something I gotta do before that, though.

I don't know what you're up to,

but will you cut out talking secret in my car.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Hey! I told you not to smoke!

Oh, that's right.

I'm sorry.

I'll throw it away right away.

Hey. Don't throw litter out of the window.

Throw it away in the ashtray.

You got loose change mixed with cigarette butts and ash.

No matter how rich you are,

you'll be punished for doing something like this.

I guess it can't be helped.

Because these two people

are robbers.

What?

Just what do you mean, Shinichi?

This is probably not his car.

They probably abandoned the car

they made their getaway with in the mountains,

and stole this car from somebody who happen to pass by.

The legal owner of this car probably doesn't smoke,

so the owner probably kept his loose change in the ashtray

to pay highway tolls with ease.

He put his cigarette butt inside the ashtray without realizing this,

so even after he did,

he probably kept using it as an ashtray.

Until they gave us a lift, that is.

No way, sonny.

I put the coins in there to spite him

because I hate smokers.

There's still other evidence that this car is not his.

You drove from where you could

judge your position from the driver's seat

because you're not used to driving cars

with steering wheels on the left, right?

That's why you were driving near the center line

and got honked at a time and again.

When you backed the car up,

you looked to the left, which is more difficult to see behind,

and that's probably the same reason

why you were having trouble shifting gears with your right hand.

Moreover, when turning the curve

you turned on the wipers instead of the blinker, right?

You forgot that foreign cars with the steering wheel on the left,

have blinkers and wipers on the opposite side

as that of Japanese cars.

There's still more.

When we first got into this car...

If you opened the left door, I could've got in right away,

but I was wondering why you let me in

from the door on the side of the road.

But I figured out why at the checkpoint

after what Officer Yamamura said.

The seat that you're sitting on right now

is stained with the blood of the other robber,

the man who was shot in the leg and sitting there till a while ago.

And that other man is probably in the trunk.

He's probably hiding there

so you could get through the checkpoint.

Then why did they give us a lift?

Of course if they were just some ordinary car thieves,

they wouldn't have done so.

But they did so to help them get through the checkpoint.

They can throw the police off guard into thinking

that it's a family trip or something,

if a boy and an old man are with them, right?

That's how I figured out who they were.

The only people who would give us a lift

despite stealing somebody else's car

had to be the jewelry shop robbers on the run.

Sonny, you're pretty smart, aren't you?

I'm not all that sure if being too smart at your age

is all that great.

Shinichi.

Well, now that you know, we've got no choice.

We're going to need you to stick around with us a while longer then.

So the problem now is,

where we get rid of this old man and kid?

How about Kenbashi Station that's under construction

that they wanted to go to?

There's nobody there.

Besides, the construction workers

won't be coming until after daybreak.

By the way, sonny, why didn't you tell the police

about us at the checkpoint?

You already knew by then

that we were the jewelry shop robbers, didn't you?

I didn't want to lose time.

If I turned you in to the police at that time,

we would have to go through questioning

because we were riding the same car.

Then, I would be late for my important appointment.

Besides, we could catch you anytime anyway.

Sonny, you sound pretty confident, don't you?

I like people like you.

Talk as cheeky as you like while you can.

Even if you cry for help,

I'm not going to forgive you. Don't you forget that.

Hey?

He won't be getting up for a while

because I fired an anesthetic needle into him.

Anesthetic needle?

Hang on!

You brat, what a thing to do!

Cut it out.

You may have been able to deceive the jewelry shop

with a dingy model gun like that,

but you can't fool me.

What? Who are you, anyway?

Conan Edogawa. A detective.

Detective?

Oh, right, be careful over there.

It's a ball firing belt.

Gas is inside a special rubber and it turns into a soccer ball.

But this rubber is very elastic.

When you move the dial to maximum,

it inflates a large as an advertisement balloon.

I'll be on my way, then.

Dr. Agasa, please call the police and tell them

that you caught the jewelry shop robbers.

Hey, are you really going to the place of the deal?

Don't worry!

Since this is one station away from Kenbashi Station,

even if the police were to come,

they won't call off the deal.

No, that's not what I'm worried about.

See you, then!

If something comes up, I'll contact you with the detective badge,

so don't come near Kenbashi Station till then!

Hey, Shinichi!

It's almost time.

Is everyone in position?

Okay, don't let one mouse get through.

"Coin Locker"

Hey, Itakura.

Itakura, that rat's not here yet.

A check?

This is the same amount we paid Itakura.

This is the system software that we asked Itakura to make.

What an idiot.

He gives back the money we paid him,

and went chicken leaving just the stuff behind.

Okay, I got him!

Yes, it's me.

That Itakura should be somewhere nearby.

Go get him and bring him here!

What? The only ones who entered the station

are a drunkard and a kid?

It can't be! Look for him!

Just what are you up to?

Boss.

Gin.

The deal's supposed to be midnight tomorrow.

He complained that tomorrow wasn't good for him,

so the time was changed.

So, you exchanged e-mails with him

and he used you to his advantage.

No, I'm the one who set the time.

He received the e-mail at his villa

and said that there was a black-out

so I talked to him directly on the phone.

I couldn't get rid of him

but got a hold of what we were after.

And besides, he's got a pretty bad heart.

He'll croak over soon either way...

Why do you think this was stuck on with tape?

To get your fingerprints.

You can't take off the tape with gloves on, you see.

And...

if the one you're waiting for doesn't show up,

you get irritated and light cigarettes.

If the saliva on this is checked,

they'd even be able to find out your blood type.

Boss.

He's even trying to track down

the location of the base of our operations.

Look. There's a communicator on the inside of the CD case.

He sure is some sly fox.

That Itakura.

No, it's not Itakura.

In a place where there is a drastic difference in temperature,

the sympathetic nerves are stimulated

and a great load is placed on the heart.

I don't think a guy with heart problems

will go out of his way to a villa

in the mountains in the blizzard.

Then... then, who was the guy that I talked to on the phone?

Probably some wiz that he hired or something.

But he made one mistake.

This case.

The fingerprints seem to have been wiped off,

but it's still warm.

Which means...

Yes. He should still be hiding somewhere nearby.

This is bad.

If things keep up as is, they'll find me.

What now?

What can I do?

The only place left is there.

A sly fox is no more than a cornered rat now.

Cut out your blabbering.

Boss.

There's nobody here.

So, what now?

Boss?

Boss?

There's no way a grown adult could hide in a place like this.

Nevermind.

We'll change our appearance and get out of here.

He may have called the police.

What?

You mean the guy who Itakura hired?

Yes.

Be careful, there's no next chance.

It seems that some rat is snooping around us.

A fox detective.

What now? Should I go after them?

No, it's too early yet.

They may be lying in wait after pretending to leave.

But what is it?

What are those guys trying to do anyway?

Ai said that they made her make queer drugs,

but Mr. Itakura is a system engineer.

He has nothing to do with drugs.

A software that he abandoned making for the sake of mankind.

What on earth...

what on earth is it about?

Well, good work, Dr. Agasa.

Yes, well, I guess.

I'm sure you're tired,

but I'm going to have to ask you to come to the station with me

for questioning.

Yes.

Inspector, excuse me.

I'll see you later, then.

What is it, Officer Chiba?

About the wound of the suspect...

Shinichi.

What's going on?

Shinichi.

Footsteps?

Somebody's...

somebody's coming.

Darn. My body...

It won't move.

Ai?

Just what are you doing in a place like this?

What?

What are you doing here yourself?

Both Dr. Agasa and you didn't come back even after morning came,

so I used your spare pursuit glasses and came looking for both of you.

It... it's morning?

Little lady, did you find your friend?

Yes.

Okay then, you're getting in the way of work

so out you go.

Hey, wait, Shinichi.

I see.

I fainted in there because of lack of oxygen.

And?

Just what are you doing in a place like this?

I didn't get to sleep, so I was sort of taking a snooze.

Do you think that's answering my question?

Oh, well, what's the difference?

Let's hurry home and get some grub.

I'm starved.

Hey!

Where's Dr. Agasa?

Dr. Agasa's fine. He's at the police station.

Now for the next news.

Yesterday at about 5 pm,

the body of a man was found at Hotel New Baker.

The body was identified as that of a computer graphic designer,

Mr. Taku Itakura, age 45.

Don't tell me...

Hey, what's up?

It's nothing.
