Friendship, love and mystery.

We stick it out because we believe promises will be kept.

The true killer is found together with a secret cassette tape.

A message that sways Ai's heart.

He sees through the one and only truth.

His name is Detective Conan!

"The Secret Hidden in the Toilet (Part 2)"

The burglary that happened after my older sister visited here

was most likely done by those people.

Yeah.

They probably guessed that she may have hidden something here

and came to look for it.

There were traces of them having set up

wiretaps in the toilet too.

It's most likely that they couldn't find it

when they broke in here the first time,

and so they set up a wiretap.

But after hearing that the people here

knew nothing of something being hidden,

they probably broke in here a second time

to remove the wiretap.

But I think it has nothing to do with this case.

President Dejima may be your father's friend

and your father may have been a member of the Black Organization,

but they haven't met for 30 years.

What if it's me that they're after?

They killed my father's friend

to mentally corner me.

Then what?

Don't be silly!

How could they ever find out something like that?

I could feel it.

The day when we went to that department store

in Haido-cho,

I could feel that callous glare on me

as I went unconscious.

What?

Then why did you come here?

Why did you do this if you knew you'd be in danger?

I wanted to know.

Is that reason good enough?

I wanted to know whether my parents

were really the kind of people the organization rumored them to be.

After meeting your cheerful mother,

I had this urge of wanting to do so.

But leaving aside my mad scientist father,

it seems that my mother was reticent, somber,

and hard to understand as rumor has it.

Don't be silly.

It's just rumor, isn't it?

Don't make conclusions without seeing it for yourself.

Do you know

what my mother was referred to as in the organization?

Hell Angel.

An angel who has fallen to hell.

Well, now I'm totally uninterested in her

and feel sort of relieved.

Now that I've finished all I have to do here,

let's leave the homicide case to the police

and get out of here quickly.

I'm not even sure if we have any place

to run to at this point though.

But unless we find what your older sister had hidden...

He made a deduction a while ago regarding the wiretap.

It could be that after hearing

the conversation of the employees here,

they specified the place the object was hidden,

broke in here a second time,

found what they were looking for and retrieved the wiretap

while they were at it too.

Right?

That's why there's no reason we should stay here any longer.

So you were burglarized,

but nothing was stolen?

No.

"Isamu Natsuhori (35)" -But it seemed that the president

"Designer" -thought that his design was stolen.

"Tetsuo Imai (52)" -He insisted someone

"Designer" -had secretly taken a picture of his design.

The president was always nervous about things like that.

He would lose his temper every time he saw

a design that was similar to his.

He went to shout his mouth off this morning too.

This morning?

"Ukihiko Zaitsu (41)" -Yes.

"Designer" -To another design office.

He went to tell them off for stealing his design,

and he accused them of the burglary some time ago.

Don't tell me that...

Yes, it's possible that when he went to that design studio,

someone managed to get him in contact with the poison.

Well, I don't blame the president for being angry though.

If his design was copied and news began spreading,

people would get bored and it'd be disposed of in no time.

Disposed of?

Oh, yes. A strange thing happened after the burglary.

A strange thing?

A pen that was lost a long time ago

suddenly appeared again.

Right, right!

Together with my ruler.

So it was not stolen, and it suddenly reappeared?

Yes. I just found it on the shoe cabinet near the front door.

But wasn't that before the burglary?

What?

Was it?

But what was even stranger after that was the president.

Yeah. Now that you mentioned it,

it started around that time, didn't it?

He kept going around saying we should save water.

He started nagging us to save water.

So, we had to stop taking showers during work.

He wasn't the type to be worried about something like that.

And yet...

I see.

So that's what it was.

Could you take us to the design office then?

Yes, sir.

Something isn't right after all.

This case has nothing to do with the men in black.

The killer is probably that man.

He used the toilet to his advantage

to kill President Dejima.

And why should we leave when the treasure

is right before our eyes?

Then...

Yeah, it should still be in that toilet.

The thing that your sister hid in there.

Inspector! Let's go to the design office.

Yeah.

Maybe we can find out

how the poison was put on President Dejima

without being noticed by anybody.

No, you'll find nothing.

Well, you see...

Even if there were something with poison on it,

wouldn't he have touched something as soon as he came back here?

For example, the doorknob or the back of the chair.

But the poison was detected only on the president's left hand,

the right side of his slacks, the belt holes of his belt,

the handkerchief that he had

and the wrapper of the hamburger

that he took a bite of just before he collapsed.

Besides, the poison was of a very small amount.

He must've touched the poison beforehand

for it to rub off on those spots.

You can already make it out, can't you?

Where did the poison got onto the president's hand?

The place where you loosen your belt,

pull your slacks up and down,

and the place where you use a handkerchief.

Don't tell me

it was in the toilet?

Yes. President Dejima came in contact

with the poison in the toilet and was killed

by one of the three employees over there!

But Dr. Agasa,

there was no poison reaction found in the toilet.

It's only natural that there was no reaction.

Because the thing with the poison smeared on it

was taken out of the toilet by President Dejima himself.

What?

It was taken out?

You know, the thing that you have to throw away

once it's been used up.

There wasn't any freshener inside.

And if he had changed the towel,

there would've been a cleaner one inside.

Then, all that's left would be changing the toilet paper...

Right! The cylinder!

It's the cylinder of the toilet paper!

If poison is smeared on it and it's left in place,

when the paper runs out and the roll has to be changed,

the person would take the empty roll

out of the toilet to dispose of it!

But if that was the case,

poison should be found on the toilet paper

that had been newly changed.

Usually, after you change the toilet paper roll,

you would use it, wouldn't you?

But in this case, the part with the poison on it

was torn off, used and flushed down the toilet.

-I see. -I see.

You see, are you convinced now?

And this is probably what President Dejima did in the toilet.

First, he realized that the roll was out of paper.

He touched the roll with poison on it with his right hand

and put it on the floor.

Then, he reached over for the new roll of toilet paper

on the shelf and replaced it.

After finished using the toilet paper,

he pulled his slacks up with his poisoned right hand,

fastened his belt,

and flushed the toilet with the lever

on the left side of the tank with his right hand.

After washing his hands,

if he wiped his hands with the handkerchief,

the poison would be wiped off.

And if he exited the toilet with the empty roll,

no poison would be left inside the toilet.

But the poison was detected on the victim's left hand.

He wasn't left-handed, so why would the poison

that was on the roll go on his left hand?

Come on, Inspector!

If you open the door with your right hand,

you would naturally hold the roll with your left hand, wouldn't you?

I see.

So, he brought the roll out of the toilet

and threw it into the wastebasket,

then grabbed the burger with his poisoned left hand,

ate it, and died.

Shall we test it out?

Let's go into the toilet.

Wait, Dr. Agasa!

The most important thing isn't solved yet!

Who of the three employees

was the one that set up this trick?

The most suspicious would be the one

who went into the toilet right before the president.

Hold it.

Isn't it strange?

It's true that the president

can be poisoned to death in the way he just explained,

but unless the president had the runs, went to the toilet

and used the toilet paper

while somebody went out to buy the hamburgers,

this crime wouldn't have occurred.

Besides, the president was the one who said

he wanted to eat hamburger.

It did fit in a bit too well.

That's why the killer carried out repeated simulations.

President Dejima had probably never dreamed

that the coffee which Mr. Imai served him everyday...

contained laxative.

-Laxative? -Laxative?

Then...

Mr. Imai's the one...

What?

He put more laxative in the coffee everyday

to get the president used to the taste,

and he calculated the timing of the president going to the toilet

with the amount of laxative he put in the coffee.

So, the president had frequent runs lately because...

Yes.

And since the president ordered hamburger,

he decided to kill him today.

Mr. Imai brought the cookie together with the coffee

so that it would urge the president to go to the toilet.

When people eat, a strong peristaltic movement takes place

from the transverse colon to the sigmoid colon.

In other words, when something goes into the stomach,

there will be a need for bowel movement.

Well, if President Dejima was taking laxatives

on a regular basis because of his hemorrhoids,

it wouldn't seem strange if laxatives were detected

in his body during the autopsy.

Even if laxatives were to be found in his coffee...

We would think that he had been drinking coffee that way.

So, there would be nothing suspicious.

Which means that Mr. Imai set the poison up

when he went to the toilet.

Hey! I went in before the president.

If I hadn't urinated but had gone to move my bowels instead,

are you saying I would've been dead?

No.

You always hold your drink in your left hand.

And if you had to frequently urinate,

it isn't hard to imagine that you'd do the same.

If you had to moved your bowels,

he would probably plan to give you a wet tissue or something,

telling you to wipe your hands before eating.

How can you tell if somebody's going to urinate

or move his bowels?

He couldn't have looked into the toilet.

From the sound of the toilet being flushed.

The sound of flushing?

President Dejima had nagged everyone about saving water.

You wouldn't use the lever that flushes a lot of water

when you urinate, would you?

He knew that Conan and Ai who went into the toilet after you

and were rushed out of there by the president

didn't touch the toilet paper roll smeared with poison.

Okay! All we need to find now

is the roll that President Dejima threw away somewhere!

-Yes, sir! -Wait.

He always throws it in here.

See? I found it.

Inspector!

Here, forensic officer!

If there's poison on this,

there should be a bag that was used to carry it here

and a container for the poison somewhere.

It's inside the triangular garbage disposer in the kitchen.

If it were me, I would go to the toilet and set the poison up,

then hide it in the kitchen while making coffee.

It's dirty and stinks,

so nobody would want to touch it.

He wouldn't have to go and dispose of it himself

because somebody else would probably do it for him anyway.

And unlike the wastebasket,

just in case he wanted to change the place he hid it,

it would be easy to retrieve.

Inspector! I found a strange plastic bag

inside the triangular garbage container in the kitchen.

You did!

If poison is detected from this bag

and your fingerprints are found on it...

I'm sure you'll find both.

I had it on me day and night so that I wouldn't miss

the chance to kill the president.

I first intended to kill him about 20 years ago.

Twenty years ago?

Yeah.

Not too long after you joined this office.

Do you remember when I went independent and quit the job here,

then came back again?

It was back then.

Yeah, I heard about it from the president some time ago.

You went independent, but couldn't make it,

so he accepted you again.

I couldn't make it?

There was no way I could make it.

Because the president was moving behind the scenes

and contacted the publishing companies,

telling them not to give a traitor any work.

Are you serious?

Yeah, a publisher friend told me.

I was also enraged then, to the point of no return.

I was thinking of how to kill him when he came back.

I was thinking all sorts of things in the kitchen.

Then it just so happened

that Akemi who was there with her parents

was standing behind me.

She asked me, "What's wrong? You look scary.

Are you looking for something?

Or are you hiding something?

Don't hide it in the triangular garbage container

because somebody might throw it away."

She remarked with a sad look on her face.

When I answered, "I think I was just tired",

she just smiled.

It was after that

that Akemi started hiding our things all over the place.

But after seeing her innocent smile,

my will to kill vanished off somewhere.

Then why did you decide to go through it at this time?

The other day, when I told the president

I wanted to go independent again, this is what he said.

"You would never make it at your age.

It would've been a different story

if this were 20 years ago though."

When I saw her again after such a long time,

I felt like anything was possible.

But the president's words made me blow my top.

"Her"?

Do you mean Akemi who came to use the restroom?

Yeah. I was kind of expecting her to come around again

after she smiled at me and said...

I'll come back again in about a week

with my younger sister.

But she never came.

I thought that she would

blow off my intent to kill with that smile of hers again,

but I guess I was just being selfish.

So?

You found it, didn't you?

When you went into the restroom with Dr. Agasa.

The thing that Akemi hid.

Yeah.

It dawned on me when they said,

as soon as your sister came to use the restroom,

President Dejima started nagging them

about saving water all of a sudden.

An object must've been attached

to the float in the toilet tank

which caused the water to flow out little by little.

I opened the tank and checked behind the float.

And it turned out that a plastic bag with something inside it

was firmly attached to the float with masking tape.

There were traces of old masking tape on it too,

so it's most likely that 20 years ago,

your sister took Mr. Imai's words,

"I think I'm just tired" too seriously

and hid the pens and rulers

so he could take a rest from work.

Then, 20 years later, she came back again,

removed the things she had hidden

and replaced them with these.

She put these cassette tapes

numbered from 1 to 20 in this plastic bag.

Cassette tapes?

Yeah. I think that there's at least some clues

about those guys in here.

Some really important information

that she wishes to keep a secret

from the Men in Black who are watching her.

Hey! Don't tell me

that you're listening to it now?

Yeah. I'm listening to the one numbered 11 to 15,

but the top part of the tape is blank,

so I haven't heard anything yet.

No, don't!

It's something you don't need to know about!

If you delve any deeper, you'll really...

Sorry, Ai.

This is definitely a tape I shouldn't be listening to.

It's yours. A voice only for you.

Listen to it.

To Shiho who has turned 11 years old.

Happy birthday.

Mother?

Have you found somebody you like?

My first love was when...

She probably gave the tape to Akemi

after feeling that her life would soon be ending.

She sent words to her maturing daughter

about the love she felt for her.

Akemi who received the tape

couldn't give it to Ai because of severe monitoring.

But she probably remembered hiding things

at the design office in the past and hid it in the toilet there

so she could secretly give it to you.

I'm happy for you, Ai.

Mother...

Your mother was genuinely an angel.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

I don't think I'll need any help from you.

Get her the minute you see her. Understand?

Calvados.
