Original subtitles

Inspiration flashes piercing through to the truth.

Once he gets going, nothing can stop him.

Today's episode has the smallest cast ever.

Stay right there for a sudden reversal of circumstances.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan.

A car that is rigged with an explosive explodes at the parental home

of Megumi Sakihara, a person who Pops used to tutor in his school days.

The victim who passes away in the incident turns out to be Megumi's younger sister, Hiromi,

who was reversing the car out of the garage for Megumi

because she was supposedly not good at it.

The suspect turns up to be a man named Hiromasa Takahashi.

He agrees to carry out an exchange murder

with Megumi's husband, Kazuo Sakihara.

However, he inadvertently kills Hiromi instead of Megumi.

Both men confess to their crime,

and it looks at first glance that the case had been solved.

She reversed out of such a narrow parking space.

This case has not yet ended.

"The Car Explosion Case (Part 2)"

Conan, what's up?

Hey, is anything wrong?

No, it's nothing.

I think Megumi came here to buy us some cake or something.

Let's hurry and go to Megumi's house.

Seriously.

What's with that kid anyway?

It's too early to tell Pops about this.

I've got to get more corroborative proof.

I just don't know what to say.

Thank you very much.

I am fine, so please don't worry yourself over me.

Please have some tea before it gets cold.

Thank you.

I'll have some, too.

How about some cake, Conan?

Okay.

May I go to the restroom first?

Over there.

Sakihara had a phone exclusively for himself in his study upstairs

and took all his calls with that phone.

What's that?

That's the remains of masking tape being peeled off.

Just as I thought.

So, "it" was set up there, after all.

I'll bet you're relieved that Megumi looked way better

than you thought she would, right, Dad?

Yeah. I'll guess she'll do okay.

I've got some place to stop by when we get to Beika Station,

so you can both leave me and go home.

All right, but remember, don't be too late.

There's a window.

I see. If it's from that window...

Just as I thought.

Okay. I've got the overall picture.

Now, all I need is proof.

"Mouri Detective Agency"

I am back!

Pops.

Something bothers me about the case.

What?

Well, do you remember Megumi reversed her car

out of the narrow parking space of the supermarket today, right?

Then why did she have her younger sister back her car out for her

when the incident happened?

Besides, on the wall near the telephone

of the upstairs study of Megumi's house,

it looked like masking tape was peeled off.

That means that something was stuck on there, right?

Masking tape?

Did you know that there was a window way inside the garage

where the incident occurred, Pops?

It seems that the window cracked from the impact of the explosion

and a wooden board was placed over it.

But, with a window like that over there,

it's good because you can get a good view of the car

from inside the house.

What are you trying to get at?

Are you insinuating that Megumi has something to do with this case?

I don't know.

But...

Don't be ridiculous.

I know her best because she used to be my student.

You knew her as a high school student, right, Pops?

Megumi could've changed after growing up.

Don't you dare get cheeky with me!

She hasn't changed a bit!

She's the way she always used to be!

You want to believe so, don't you, Pops?

What?

But, actually she's already...

Shut up and go on upstairs!

I'm going to go take a bath.

Seriously. How dare that brat to talk to me like that.

A secret window?

"16 years old Megumi" -Yes, Hiromi and I call it that.

It seems that Dad actually wanted to use this as a door, though.

When I was little and getting into things in the garage,

I would always be scolded from here.

"Police Station" -The record of the testimonies of Sakihara and Takahashi?

Yes. I'd like to take a quick look and review the results.

Did anything new come up in later investigations?

According to one of Hiromi's friends,

the late Hiromi seems to have

taken two boyfriends away from Megumi, in her younger days.

Well, I guess you could say that she was very carefree.

It seems that Hiromi was only fooling around for the fun of it.

But, it seems that when Megumi decided to marry Sakihara,

although jokingly, she warned Hiromi saying that if she did it again,

she would make her pay for it.

Pops'll probably come up with some sort of

circumstantial evidence in his investigation.

But, when it comes to concrete evidence...

I see. Maybe...

Inspector, about what I asked you over the phone a while ago...

Yes. I confirmed with Takahashi,

but the only time he saw her face was at that supermarket.

That's the first and last time he ever appeared before Megumi.

And, how was Takahashi dressed at that time?

He was wearing a jacket and sunglasses.

Just as I thought.

Mouri, what are you up to anyway?

Thank you very much, inspector. Goodbye.

Hey, Mouri?

Okay. So, now I've got proof.

What? What do you mean?

Hey, Dad?

He hung up.

What's the matter, Ran?

Dad's in Akihabara now and says he's going to Megumi's house from now.

He said that he is the only one who can persuade her.

I wonder what he means?

Ran, let's go to Megumi's house, too!

Seriously.

Why'd you guys have to come, too?

I'm sorry, but I was really concerned over your call.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Thank you very much.

And, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?

Megumi, I came here today to advise you to turn yourself in.

Hey, Dad.

After finding out that your husband and your younger sister

were having an affair,

as an exchange murder was being planned between your husband and Takahashi,

you decided to use all this

to kill your younger sister that you have always hated

and send your husband to jail on charges of murder, isn't that right?

Dad. What a thing to say.

Two months ago, you bought a wire-tap

and automatic recorder at a shop in Akihabara.

You asked the salesperson to give you

the details on how to use the machines.

These are the same modular-type wiretap

and automatic recorder that you bought.

I didn't want to do it,

but when I went to the restroom a while ago,

I checked out the upstairs study.

You rigged a wire-tap to your husband's study

and bugged his conversations with Takahashi.

The remains of masking tape being peeled off from the wall is proof.

You were probably planning to listen to the conversation

between your husband and your younger sister at first, weren't you?

But, along the way, you find out something awesomely terrible.

That is, your husband had agreed

to an exchange murder with a complete stranger

and that he had already killed the wife of that man.

The time came when it was your turn to be killed by that man Takahashi.

You found out that he is planning to rig your car with an explosive,

but is undecided, because if he does so in front of your house,

your husband Kazuo, may turn up as a suspect, too.

Therefore, you deliberately tell your husband

that you are driving over to Hiromi's,

because her car just happens

to be at the service station for a safety check,

and the garage is open.

Your husband then goes out to a payphone

and tells Takahashi all that you told him.

Although you didn't listen to their phone conversation,

almost positive that Takahashi was going to carry out his murder plan,

you went over to Hiromi's.

And, after telling Hiromi that you were not good at reversing,

you made her back the car out of the garage for you.

Just as you had expected, your younger sister died.

But, at that time, just one thing that you didn't expect happened.

I happened to come and see you.

You were surprised and...

Wait, Mr. Mouri!

Okay!

You wanted her to back out right away

because you didn't want me to see through your plan.

I did buy the wiretap as you say.

I set it up behind the desk after suspecting

my husband of having an affair with someone.

But, I thought it over right away and immediately disposed of it.

Therefore, I didn't actually use it!

Did you know that the person he was having an affair with

was your younger sister?

I didn't know at all.

Let's presume... This is just a presumption now,

that I did act as you had deduced,

what charges am I guilty for?

Takashi is the one who rigged the explosive onto the car,

and the person who made him do it is my husband.

All I did, if anything is make my younger sister get into a car

that was maybe rigged with an explosive.

I'm not an accomplice in a crime,

nor did urge anyone to commit murder for me.

Isn't that right, Mr. Mouri?

Just as expected of a student in the law department,

and a daughter of a lawyer.

Just as you say,

if all you did was get your younger sister to ride the car,

you wouldn't be found guilty of anything.

-Why then... -However,

in the case that you made your sister get in the car

despite knowing that an explosive was rigged to the car,

or if the possibility that you knew was very high.

You will be charged with homicide!

You mentioned back then

that you had to look for something and went into the closet alone.

Then, you were watching the garage from the window.

And, just as expected, Takahashi came into the garage

to set the explosive onto the car.

After you confirmed all that,

you asked your sister to back the car out.

In other words, there was a very high possibility

that the explosive was being rigged to the car,

and you still made your sister ride it.

Do you have any proof

that I was watching the garage through the closet?

If you do, please show it to me right now!

Right this minute!

You've got proof, Pops.

Remember? The sketch of the man that Megumi said she saw,

that was drawn by police officer Honjo.

Megumi, where did you say you saw his face?

At the supermarket near my house.

Strange. The officer mentioned

that Takahashi was wearing a jacket and sunglasses back then.

But, why is the man in the sketch not wearing sunglasses?

Megumi, isn't it true that you didn't even notice

Takahashi was watching you at the supermarket?

You found out only after you listened to the conversation

between Kazuo and Takahashi that you tapped, right?

Then where did she see his face?

From the closet!

She saw him from the secret window of the closet!

Megumi, you were watching Takahashi's face

from the closet of your parental home.

The face of Takahashi who was setting up the explosive.

How... how can you be so sure?

That day, Takahashi who didn't want anybody to notice him,

was wearing sunglasses until he entered the garage.

Of course, he was his sunglasses when coming out, too.

However, there was just one time he had to take off his sunglasses.

It was when he was setting the explosive onto the car.

Because nobody would even dream of doing a dangerous job

like setting up an explosive onto a car while wearing sunglasses.

In other words, this sketch of Takahashi without his sunglasses

is proof that you witnessed Takahashi

rigging the explosive to the car in the garage.

Just as you say, I happened to hear them.

He was planning to kill me

and use the insurance money that I was covered with

together with the inheritance money my parents left for me

to open a new boutique that Hiromi was to own.

I remember the good old days.

I was really happy in those days.

I kept hoping that I could go back to those good old days all this time.

But...

15 years ago.

There was something very important

that I was supposed to have taught you.

Something more important than studying.

But, maybe I can't really teach you much

since I'm separated with my wife and all now.

True.

But, it's never too late.

Repent for the crime that you have committed

and study all over again.

This time, the study of life!

Will you watch over me then again?

Sure. By all means.

"Mouri Detective Agency"

It's a good thing that the case was solved, but...

This case must've really come as a shock to Pops.

Yes, the Mouri Detective Agency.

What? Yoko?

A concert? Of course, I'll go.

If for you, I'll go and cheer for you or tutor.

I'll do anything you wish! Yes!

I guess we've got nothing to worry about...

Really. It takes Pops no time at all to get back on his feet.

"Next episode" -It bothers me.

I met him somewhere, but I can't remember where.

A MO disc?

What's this?

I don't remember buying this.

The old man who disappeared.

The man wearing sunglasses.

Something... something smells fishy!

Next Conan,

"The Old Man Disappears"

Next Conan's Hint:

"Window Glass"

The next episode has to do with a mysterious old man.

Gosh, the young people nowadays...

That's what they all say when they get old.
