Today's stage is set at a candy house.

The trick is a sugary, sweet, simple trap.

Once you get in, there's no way out.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

It only costs 500 yen to get in to the museum.

And what's more surprising is you can eat Ecriture's cake at half price!

You going to regret it for the rest of your life

if you miss this opportunity!

Wait, Sonoko! The cake isn't gonna run away!

Well, I want to run away.

Here! It's here!

"Ecriture"

Now, let's go! Ran!

Sonoko.

Come on, Ran! And you too, kid!

Now, hurry up...

Isn't it just like the candy house in "Hansel and Gretel"?

It's all made of cake and candies?

I can't believe it!

Look how many sweets are here.

All right!

Now, the morning part begins!

What do you mean "the morning part"?

Ran, do you know?

This event is has two parts, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.

I guess Sonoko wants to eat now,

just to get her stomach ready for the afternoon.

No way. I really want to go home.

"The Witch in a Candy House"

So each patissier has his own booth?

Which one I should start off with?

The person in this photo...

Isn't he that man over there.

My god.

How can he make three cakes at the same time?

"Tsuyoshi Maeda (28), Patissier"

This is like fighting rather than cooking.

Oh, you didn't know?

He is actually called Fighting Patissier by people.

So he is the one in the "Iron Patissier"?

Right. The patissier in the middle with the elegant move

"Yasou Fujino (30)" -is the Prince of Sweets.

See the patissier in the back?

She makes candies just like magic,

"Yumi Morimoto (26)" -so people call her Candy Magician.

He is like an idol.

Would you like to make one?

What? Me?

Yes...

Come on. I will help you.

It sounds fun. Do it, Conan.

No, I'm okay.

Here...

Yes...

-Don't worry. It's simple. -Excuse me!

-No. Ran, why don't you try? -Yes...

Yes.

-Me? No, I'm okay. -Yes...

It's not like we came here everyday. You go ahead and do it.

It's the last part.

Everybody can do it.

I will give you this one after it's done.

All you need to do is put the chocolate cream on the roll cake.

Make it thick.

Then, make tree patterns with this fork.

Now, try it.

With a fork?

If you want to be popular with girls these days,

you gotta learn to make cake

I think that's pretty good.

Right, Sonoko?

I guess so.

She's still upset.

I will finish the rest so I can give this to you.

Are you going to stay here for the afternoon too?

Oh, yes! Of course! Right?

Yes.

These candies look so alive, right?

As expected of the Candy Magician.

Looks like glass art, isn't it?

Thank you!

This kind of invisible feel is the real magic behind the taste.

Here you go!

Pretty candy tastes better.

It's my dream to win a contest with these candies someday.

Miss, this is tasty!

Thank you!

I don't know which to choose.

What are you talking about?

It's simple. Eat them all.

All of it?

Here! Hold this, will you?

We'll have this first.

This one too.

This one.

And this one...

You want me to get something for you too, kid?

No. I'm okay!

I will get it myself.

Okay.

Then, I'm gonna get some more.

Dangerous...

Are you ok?

"Sachiko Hashigaki (45)" -I'm sorry!

I'm so sorry.

I just ruined your cake.

Doesn't matter as long as it tastes good.

Well, it does matter.

How it looks and how it's made.

Looks really matter when it comes to today's sweets.

You can eat everything.

It's hard to believe, isn't it?

Hey, Maeda.

Why can't you act more sociable?

Why don't you learn something from Fujino?

If greeting people can make things taste better,

I'll do that as much as you want me to.

Hold on. You're still able to eat?

Of course.

Conan. What took you so long to pick your cake?

Ah, well...

All right!

I'm ready for the second round!

Well, I'm getting thirsty.

I'll get something to drink.

-I'll go with you, Conan. -Okay.

Then can you get me one too, please?

No sweets for a while, seriously.

Shinichi would say something like,

"What have you been eating while I was away?"

I wouldn't say anything like that.

Why would I?

I'm a chef and not a magician!

That's the way it is because that's what the customers want.

Please judge it based on taste!

You're so naive.

Do you know how many fantastic sweets exist in this world?

Cake and chocolates are dominating the sweets scene,

but your candies have got really popular because of my marketing skills,

and not because of how they taste!

When I came here yesterday,

there was no "Wood Chocolate Cake making trial".

You're so lucky!

What? You came here yesterday too?

No wonder you know so much about this place!

There you are.

I've been looking for you.

Here!

You know, it's the Wood Chocolate Cake you made.

How is it?

It's been nicely fixed.

Without the decorations,

it's just the same as the one in the store, isn't it?

It looks so delicious!

Oh my God.

"Ecriture" -The morning part of the event was finished past 12 pm.

And the dead body was found around 12:30 pm.

And where were you guys during that time?

I was in the kitchen making candies for the afternoon.

I was there alone since I let the cashiers out for lunch.

I went out to give them a cake after I was done with it.

Okay. So, you saw Ms. Hashigaki.

What was she doing?

She was doing some counting work.

She was working hard so I didn't talk to her.

Mr. Fujino left the kitchen to give a cake to Conan.

During this short period,

the suspect murdered Ms. Hashigaki.

Mr. Maeda, you were outside the candy house too, right?

I was in the office from 12:25 pm to 12:35 pm

since I was told that somebody was on the phone, waiting for me.

You seem to remember the time precisely.

Well, it's because...

I have a habit to keep my eyes on the watch when I do something.

You know, because we use stuff like the oven.

Who else was in the office?

Only myself.

The other staff were out to lunch, I think.

I see.

So, after Mr. Fujino left this place,

somebody murdered Ms. Hashigaki,

and Mr. Maeda found the dead body when he came back from the office.

-Am I right? -Yes.

Ms. Morimoto, you were the only one here.

Didn't you notice anybody coming in?

No.

The back of the victim's head was severely injured.

There could be a murder weapon inside the museum.

Search throughout the museum!

-Yes, sir! -Yes, sir!

One of the chefs must have killed Ms. Hashigaki.

Then, the type of the weapon

and how it was disposed would be the key to finding the suspect.

I think either Maeda or Fujino must have killed Ms. Hashigaki.

-What are you talking about? -What are you talking about?

Yeah, it has to be!

Maeda owed her a lot of money

and Fujino wanted to go independent.

So you two were having trouble with her.

Everyone in the store knew about it.

Well, we aren't the only ones

who were having trouble with her, were we?

What do you mean?

She wanted to quit the candy-making performance,

because she was too confident in the taste of her candies.

You were having an argument with her

right before she was murdered, weren't you?

I heard your voice all the way across the hall.

It's true that Ms. Morimoto was having an argument with Ms. Hashigaki.

Please judge it based on the taste!

It's possible that Ms. Morimoto, who was left alone, murdered her.

Each kitchen is divided with partitions,

so nobody can see Ms. Morimoto from here.

The big tree gets in the way.

So, nobody can see what's going on here from Ms. Morimoto's kitchen.

That means...

the other two chefs could've murdered Ms. Hashigaki as well.

You left here right after I left, right?

Don't you think it took too long just to find the kid?

The east space is huge.

It's not easy to find a person there.

Don't you think it was too good timing that you got a phone call?

The phone was already cut when I answered the phone.

This has to be be a setup!

You could've been the one who called

and told yourself to come to the office.

What?

We'll find out who killed Ms. Hashigaki

when we find the weapon!

Just to let you know, you are the one

who could kill Ms. Hashigaki the easiest.

Right!

The cakes are almost gone?

It's crazy.

A piece of wood?

Sir! No weapons were found.

I see. Nothing was found?

The weapon is gone because it's been eaten already.

Can we think this way?

What do you mean by that?

This is a candy house.

It's possible that the weapon was made of sweets.

Who would eat stuff that was used to kill somebody?

But if we think that way,

the types of sweets that were made into weapon would be limited.

It's not cookies.

They would break.

Not pies or tarts of course.

It can't be my chocolate.

Because is pretty soft.

Now what? You're saying I killed her with my candy

and ate the sweet bloody weapon?

A candy as a murder weapon.

It's too big to eat.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Or maybe she melted the candy.

She put the candy into a pot that was heated up beforehand.

I never done anything like that!

She could be the one who did those things

because nobody could hear or see what she was doing.

I didn't do it! It's the truth!

Well, we'll find out whether it's true or not,

after the identification.

Is she the killer?

It's my dream to win a contest with these candies someday.

No, it can't be.

This is...

As expected, she isn't be the murderer.

So messy.

How come pieces of wood are in the kitchen?

When I came here yesterday,

there was no "Wood Chocolate Cake making trial".

You're so lucky.

I got it!

So she was being used.

But you're not having it your way!

No. The murderer...

Ran.

Sonoko?

The murderer is not Ms. Morimoto.

Sonoko! That thing again?

What?

She was trying so hard to make candies for the afternoon

just to convince Ms. Hashigaki that she was good enough.

As a proof, there are candies in her kitchen for tasting.

Ran, could you show everybody the thing in my left hand?

Okay.

It seems like...

it's not something that is done half-way or a failure.

That piece of candy tells us

how much she wanted to be a patissier and not a magician.

I just wanted her to taste this one more time.

Then, who murdered Ms. Hashigaki?

The real suspect is...

The "Prince of Sweets", Mr. Fujino!

It's you.

First of all,

you called Mr. Maeda by phone just to let him out of here.

Then, after making sure Ms. Morimoto started using the blender,

you left the kitchen.

From this point, you can't see a thing

of what's going on in Ms. Morimoto's kitchen.

Mr. Fujino used this blind spot!

Good work.

You, too.

I'll leave the rest to you.

So are you saying I killed her with candy?

No, it's the Wood Chocolate Cake!

Really! My Wood Chocolate Cake?

That soft chocolate became a weapon?

Okay, let me explain!

This house is called "The Candy House"

It seems that this candy house is totally made of sweets.

But the truth is that this is a wooden house that's coated with sweets.

This was how he came up with the plan,

hiding the murder weapon under the sweets.

What?

So he hid the weapon under the Wood Chocolate Cake, am I correct?

Right! A piece of wood was used to kill Ms. Hashigaki!

You are a very careless man.

You hid the piece of wood that's smaller than your Wood Chocolate Cake

in your kitchen beforehand.

Then you brought the wood chocolate to Conan,

with the piece of wood hidden under the tray.

You hit the back of the victim's head with it.

Show me the evidence if you say so!

The evidence lies in Mr. Fujino's corner over there.

Conan, would you get the wood chocolates for me, please?

Okay.

Let me help you.

Thank you, Miss!

Conan, I'll pay for them.

So give everyone a piece of the Wood Chocolate Cake.

Okay!

Sonoko, there's something in the cake. I can't cut it.

What is it?

It looks like there is a real piece of wood in the cake.

Mr. Fujino hid the real murder weapon inside the chocolate cream

and put the cake on the tray.

Then, as he promised Conan,

he walked out the door with the real Wood Chocolate Cake.

Chief was literally like a witch that's on the wall of this candy house.

She promised me to give me my own store, if I win a contest

and work with her for three years.

So I won a contest with my Wood Chocolate Cake

and worked for three years.

I never complained at all,

even if I had to work like a bee.

But as soon as I became popular,

Ms. Hashigaki took back what she said before.

She even say that she would take the Wood Chocolate Cake away from me.

Finally, she said there was no promise made between us at all!

I just...

Let's talk at the station, shall we?

The dream of becoming independent

and his Wood Chocolate Cake that was a part of his life

were both taken away by his chief.

For him, Ms. Hashigaki was a witch,

who was trying to cage and eat him,

just like the one in Hansel and Gretel.

"Ecriture"

Oh, no!

My chocolate cake!

No! It's ruined!

It's fine!

You still can eat it. It looks same when it gets to the stomach.

That's right!

Hey, what are you talking about?

Come on! You just need to find another good chocolate cake store, right?

Oh, yeah!

I think there's a delicious cake buffet restaurant

beside the train station!

-What? -What?

We have to hurry! Come on!

Hold up, Sonoko!

Hey... No way!

Next Conan's Hint:

"Rumor"

The next episode's got a weird title.

The lucky people should be Inspector Megure and uncle, right?
