Today's stage is at an ordinary apartment complex.

Is it an accident or a homicide?

There is a blind spot that cannot be seen in ordinary life.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Move it!

You, get out of here!

You crows sure a nuisance, I tell you.

Shoots. There's not much of anything here.

"City Crows"

I think something happened.

I wonder what kind of case it is?

Hey, no, stand back.

What's with you, kids?

Please give us the details, Officer Chiba.

No.

-That's... -A homicide?

Homicide?

-Just as I thought! -How frightening!

No! It's not a murder case, it's an accident!

An accident?

You guys are really something.

To be honest, someone died.

It was a grandma who used to live here alone.

Her name is Tatsue Egami.

When she was coming back home,

a flower pot happened to fall and hit her on the head.

That fell on her head?

But where did it fall from?

Hanging them like that is dangerous.

It's not strange if it fell anytime.

That's unacceptable.

What kind of person is living there?

Room 404.

It's the apartment that the late Tatsue Egami lived in.

So, that grandma got hit in the head by the plant she was growing?

That is what we believe happened.

That's too bad for that Grandma.

It's true that it's bad for her, but...

Officer Chiba!

How was it?

The neighbors tried to warn her about the danger.

They asked her to put the pots inside,

but she didn't listen to them.

I see. So if she had listened,

this wouldn't have happened because of crows.

Crows?

Don't you see them?

They're everywhere.

Since it's on the 4th floor,

it's not likely that a stray cat did it.

One of those probably dropped the planter

with either their beak or feet.

Crows sure are strong, aren't they?

I wonder if the crow is really the one who did this?

There are no witnesses.

Since it was early in the morning,

there seems to have been no one around, too.

Maybe someone who lives opposite here saw something.

Right. As you can see, it's impossible.

To be killed by a crow,

I'm starting to feel more and more sorry for granny.

There are people making sarcastic remarks

like a crow was killed by a crow.

A crow killed by a crow?

It seems that Tatsue Egami was called "grandmother crow" behind her back.

Grandmother crow?

She used to go out early in the morning to make her rounds

going through the trash that other people threw out.

Moreover, she seems to have always worn only black clothes.

That's why she was called grandmother crow, huh?

She had a pretty bad reputation, too.

They couldn't stand her going through their trash

and invading their privacy.

There even seems to have been people who moved out.

She was disliked by everyone in the apartment complex.

But why did she do such a thing as go through other people's trash?

Yeah. Well, what triggered it was...

Gosh! How messy!

The lottery ticket she found

happened to be one for 3rd place or something.

So, she seems to have thought she could find something valuable again.

That seems to have been the beginning of her reason

for going through trash.

"Dream come to me once more..." She hoped, I guess.

They took on revenge on her

because she went around looking into other people's trash.

Revenge?

The crow got mad

thinking that she was going to take away their food.

That's why the crow dropped the planter.

I see. The crow took revenge because it involved food.

It's possible because crows are smart.

The old lady seems to have made her rounds

of the trash dumps this morning, too.

And when she came back to the 1st floor doorway

in order to return to her room,

the planter seems to have fell from above.

But isn't it strange?

The old lady came home from outside, didn't she?

From that side then this way, right?

Then she was going to enter that entrance.

Yeah.

I wonder how she came from in front of the entrance to this side?

Come to think of it, you're right.

True. If she did go this way,

even if the planter came falling, it wouldn't have hit her.

The fact is, we thought that was strange too,

the minute we got here.

The refrigerator which was put outside as trash...

I mean, because one of her hands was inserted under it,

and she was lying dead in a strange position.

But we figured the reason out

after we looked under the refrigerator.

In other words, when she came back...

Oh, no!

And tried to retrieve her coin,

the mischievous crow dropped the planter.

Judging from the circumstances, this is probably what happened.

Convincing.

I really feel sorry for the old lady.

I wonder if such a coincidence exists.

She happens to drop her coin and it just happens

to roll under the refrigerator that is put out as trash.

Right above her is a row of planters are lined up.

And just as she tries to retrieve her coin,

the crow just so happens to drop the planter.

Hey!

"Closed for Safety"

You can't make it out to the roof.

If so...

What's up, Conan?

The only way it can be done is from that room on the 5th floor.

"504: Imai, 404: Egami"

You're...

Ms. Imai.

Thank you just a while ago.

Thank you for doing your rounds.

Have a nice day.

Huh?

Good morning.

Good morning.

Ayumi, do you know her?

Well, she looks very familiar, but...

She lives right above that old lady's room, right?

Yeah. We asked her if she saw anything

during our investigation.

Does she live with her family?

No. I heard she was living alone.

But, is something about her bothering you?

I'll bet you fell in love at first sight with her.

Do you like older women like her?

I wonder who she is.

I know I met her somewhere before.

What? This is not an accident?

But a homicide?

Yes. If the crow hooked its feet onto the planter,

it would have fell upside down or diagonally.

Naturally, if the planter fell on her head, it would crack to pieces.

But that planter was cracked

as if it had fallen bottom first.

Which means

it came falling straight down.

In other words, the planter was not hooked by the crow,

but rather, removed from the fence and dropped.

Only humans can do something like this.

But, then who killed granny?

The person living on the top floor.

What?

She's the only one who could've done it.

I checked and found that nobody can go out to the roof.

The one who can hang a planter from granny's window

is the one who lives on the floor right above her.

No one other than her could.

It's true that you can't do it from a lower floor.

Please wait, Conan!

It's true that she can hang a planter, but...

You're going to ask why granny was under the window, right?

Yes, because granny went there only because she dropped her coin

and it rolled under the refrigerator.

In other words, it was a coincidence.

Right!

It's true that, that part was a coincidence.

If so, your deduction won't work out, Conan.

Because you can't possibly bring your target

to the place of your choice.

Yes, you can.

How?

Well, I've been thinking from morning, but I still don't know.

-But I'm certain. -Wrong, Conan!

She's not the kind of person

who would do a frightening thing like that.

She's kind.

So, do you know her after all, Ayumi?

She wasn't wearing the usual uniform so I didn't recognize her,

but now I remember.

If I'm not mistaken, she works at the bakery in front of the station.

So, you're still in 1st grade.

Yes, I go to Teitan Elementary.

You're really fantastic being able to run errands.

No, not really. Anybody can do this.

Here you go. Thank you for waiting.

When I was in 1st grade, I was kind of dense.

Same here. That's how most of us are in 1st grade.

Right, that's how most of us are.

I was so embarrassed, so I haven't been to that shop since then.

She was nice enough to remember me.

I don't see how you can suspect someone as nice as her.

It's not a very good

to suspect people right off the bat like that, Conan!

-Ayumi! -Ayumi!

-Conan! -Conan!

No matter how much you think, there is no way to lure the old lady

to come right below the window.

The poor granny was accidentally killed

by a mischievous crow, after all.

No, there's got to be a way.

Hey, sonny, it's dangerous!

Could you wait a while?

So, that's the story.

What's the matter, Conan?

I've figured out

how she lured granny to go below the window.

It's this.

What's that?

Don't tell me that this is...

Yeah. It's the thing

that Grandmother Crow wouldn't miss for the world.

Conan and the others really get me mad.

How dare they suspect such a nice and kind lady.

Gosh! They're still investigating something on her!

Excuse me. About that lady that works at the bakery over there...

Ayumi.

You know, Conan, how sad do you think a person would feel

if she's suspected when there's no proof?

Cut it out already!

Well, you see, Ayumi...

We've found the evidence.

What?

No way...

Did you want anything with me?

About yesterday...

Can you show me your lottery ticket?

You bought a lottery ticket yesterday, didn't you?

Just one ticket at the lottery ticket sales booth near the bakery.

Please show me that.

You have it, don't you?

Please show it to us.

You have it with you, don't you?

-It's okay already, Ayumi. -Yes.

But...

It wasn't an accident that the planter came falling and hit granny.

Ayumi, although you insist that it can't be,

the only thing thinkable is that

the lady living in that room above did it.

She hooked up granny's planter and got hold of it.

Next, you dropped a long string down to the floor.

Then you stuck the lottery ticket that you bought

on the tip of the string

and put it by the entrance

and waited for granny to return.

When granny tried to pick the lottery ticket up,

you pulled the string.

That way, you can position the granny at exactly where you needed.

I don't think you could see granny's head

because of the over-sized refrigerator.

All you had left to do was retrieve the lottery ticket, right?

The 500 yen was something that you had put there to begin with,

to camouflage an unnatural situation, right?

I couldn't figure it out at first,

but when the trash collectors came a while ago,

I noticed the traces of a string underneath the refrigerator.

Moreover, the ripped part of the lottery ticket was found there, too.

With the torn piece of lottery ticket,

I'm sure we'll find your fingerprints on it.

It's okay.

You don't have to go out of your way to look for the fingerprints.

But, why? Why did you kill granny?

She made me look like a fool, at the bakery I work for.

See, see.

I read your letter. What a laugh this letter is.

Look at it.

Why do you have that?

I ripped it and threw it away.

Oh, my trash.

That's right, you're grandmother crow.

You got it from the trash.

Give it back to me!

What are you so worked up about?

I'm going to enjoy myself with this letter for a while.

It was a letter of goodbye from my boyfriend.

How cruel.

I was trying to forget him.

But she had the nerve to go out of her way to pick it up

and laugh about it on top of showing it to others!

But...

You're still little, so you may not understand.

But you'll eventually find out

that there are things that people cannot forgive

even if it seems to be very trivial.

But no matter how unforgivable,

you're not supposed to take other people's lives, Noriko!

You're right.

Will you please accept this?

I can't possibly take it with me, so...

What is it?

I understand

how sad you must've been at that time even if I'm a child.

But...

what's bad is bad!

Exactly, Ayumi.

City crows sure are sinners.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Twins"

The next episode has to do with synchronicity.

It means something that occurs at the same time,

that is, to attune to something.
