Deduction in Sakurajima!

Hand-made liquor brings about a sad result.

Pops is drunk but the case is solved!

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

We accompanied Pops and came to Kagoshima,

and visited the Takakuma Brewery, the maker of distilled spirits.

The crime occurred just as we were enjoying going sightseeing

guided by Fumiko, the wife of the president of the brewery.

The managing director Shinsuke Tatsumura

is taken away from his home by someone.

Two days later,

his dead body is found!

What? The killer is among us?

We can't find anybody who had a grudge against Mr. Tatsumura

other than the people of this brewery.

I'll bet Mrs. Shiraishi is in agony,

being that everyone close to her is being suspected.

But...

I'm sure the killer is among the people here.

"Kogoro Drunk Over Satsuma (Part 2)"

How was it, after listening to each one's story?

Nothing gained.

Everyone has a motive and each person's alibi is not definite...

And yet, we don't have enough to go on to arrest anyone either.

Don't you? There are two things to go on...

Why did the killer go trough the trouble

of taking his corpse out of the house.

Moreover, why did the killer notify the police

of his whereabouts two days later?

If only both mysteries can be figured out...

Dad!

That's for being sassy saying something so obvious.

Why don't you hurry up and solve the mystery then?

Mr. Mouri, you're going to ask us questions again

"Satoshi Shiraishi (30)" -tomorrow, aren't you?

"Takakuma Brewery Owner" -Yes, from morning...

If it's okay with you, please spend the night at our home.

Ms. Maezono says she'll do so

because going back and forth is too much trouble.

That'll be a great help. I'd sure love to...

Okay.

He's not the killer.

If he were, he wouldn't let a detective spend the night at his house.

The ones who look most unsuspicious

are the ones who are most suspicious.

Talk about suspecting anything and everything.

This is no laughing matter,

I don't have the slightest idea either.

"Takakuma Brewery"

Two mysteries...

I'm sure there is an answer...

a reason why the killer had to do both.

Good morning!

Good morning.

It seems that everyone is already here and working.

I see. Making sake starts from early in the morning.

My husband gets up at 04:30 am

and goes into the storeroom at 05:00 am.

It sure is hard work.

Sake is a "living creature."

Once you start preparing it,

you cannot take your eyes off it.

"Fumiko Shiraishi (27)" -That's why you can't do something

"Satoshi's wife" -like leave the brewery to go kill someone.

You can't do something like that, can you?

I came to tell you that breakfast is ready.

-Thank you. -Thank you.

Anytime you're ready is fine.

"The workers who love sake making would never leave the brewery."

If that's true...

Dad, what're you laughing about?

I figured out the mystery, both of them.

Really?

The killer is Hitomi Maezono!

Why do you say it's her?

"Hitomi Maezono (25)" -Because she's the only woman among the suspects.

The first mystery,

why did she go through the trouble of carrying the corpse out of the house?

Mr. Tatsumura is has a stout physique,

so everybody would think that it is impossible for a woman to carry him.

That is, it would make people think

that a woman couldn't possibly be the killer.

It was a scheme to deceive others.

Then, what about the second mystery?

"Why did she notify the police of his whereabouts?"

Why else?

She wanted the dead to rest in peace as soon as possible.

Her kind womanly side took over.

Therefore, the killer is none other than and can only be Hitomi Maezono.

I wish Officer Shinfuku would hurry over here.

-I'll let him in on my perfect deduction... -But, Pops...

-What? -You said it's impossible for a woman to carry him,

and yet Ms. Maezono did so?

If it's impossible, I don't think she can.

Well, that's, you see, she may not look it but she's extremely strong.

I'm sure she's lifting weights or something.

Go take a peek in her room.

I'm sure she's got a super muscular body.

Don't worry, even if you take a peek,

since you're a child, she'll overlook it.

No darn way!

Help me out at work a little, kid!

Come on, how can you even think of making a child take a peek!

No, well, I'm talking in terms of pure detective work.

Give me a break.

"Seiichi Orita (60)" -No, it's not that I'm slacking off.

I'm taking a break, because we're changing shifts.

At this age we can't help but get exhausted.

How nostalgic thinking about times back then.

Is that you, sir?

20 years ago.

With Mr. Tatsumura,

and the person in the middle is the previous president,

who died last year.

And who are those children?

The current president.

He has a younger sister.

She's not his younger sister, but it's Fumiko, the president's wife.

They were childhood friends.

See, this guy next to me is her Dad.

We used to work here together.

The previous president only had one son.

So, he took care of her as if she were his own daughter.

Fumiko's father was also a very experienced worker

but poor thing, he died of an illness

soon after Fumiko entered junior high school.

But the previous president was not one to abandon the bereaved family.

He encouraged them and continued to help them out making a living.

He made sure Fumiko graduated from college.

He even helped her go through nursing school.

The previous president was a life-saver

for Fumiko and her mother, wasn't he?

Come to think of it...

Weren't you a nurse at the Chuo Hospital before?

Yes. I was, until 5 years ago when I got married.

She used to be a nurse before, right?

Yes. That's why she used her connections of the past

to get the managing director Tatsumura an appointment at Chuo Hospital.

An appointment?

For a physical exam.

He mentioned something like that the other day.

I'm so sorry that I'm late.

You see, the physical exam took longer than I expected...

If she knew the day before that something like that would happen to him,

I think Fumiko wouldn't have recommended him to get a physical.

You mean Mrs. Shiraishi is the one who recommended

the physical exam to Mr. Tatsumura?

There is a physical exam every year,

but the managing director never underwent one.

However, she kept insisting he get one because he was working too hard.

And, he was murdered the following day.

A physical exam?

Don't tell me that?

Is anything the matter?

No, not really.

Okay, I guess I'll go back to work then.

I need to get things done before the police come and questioning me again.

See you, sonny.

It's not impossible.

Rather, if that method was used,

the two mysteries will also be solved.

But, I have no proof.

Sakurajima.

If I remember correctly, back then...

That's right!

"Kagoshima North Police Station"

Mr. Mouri.

I was just thinking of heading that way...

I have a favor to ask you before you do...

Yes, I would like you to check Mr. Tatsumura's corpse for me.

No, what I want to know is whether on the clothes he was wearing...

Come on, show your super muscle physique!

Just what do you think you're looking at?

Officer Shinfuku and the others have arrived!

Yes, ma'am!

Goodness.

Getting right to the point,

the stuff was not found on his clothes at all.

What's this about?

All right. This is it...

You know, what you asked us to do a while ago...

Oh, no, Dad. You mean you asked a favor and forgot what you asked?

Oh, that stuff. Oh, so nothing was on at all...

He's really good at playing along.

And, who is it?

Who is what?

Didn't you say that you knew on the phone?

And you said you would reveal who the perpetrator when we are here.

Who is the killer?

Did you really say something like that?

I feel like I sort of did.

You see, the killer is...

a woman.

-Hitomi Maezono. -Hitomi Maezono.

Dad!

My reason for coming to that conclusion is...

Pops, this is your chance to show everyone your real ability.

I guess so.

This Managing Director Tatsumura's homicide case...

Who is the killer?

The real killer is...

Sakurajima?

Is something wrong with the mountain?

No, nothing in particular.

Officer Shinfuku!

Is this the famous Sleeping Kogoro?

What is it, Conan?

He's gone. Conan?

He probably went outside thinking that Sakurajima erupted or something.

Mr. Orita, this is the famous Sleeping Kogoro.

Excuse me, I'd like to take a picture.

Quiet!

In preparation for killing Mr. Tatsumura,

the killer also schemed an alibi trick.

-Alibi trick? -Alibi trick?

I had an idea of what the trick is,

but I needed proof.

And that's why I asked you to do me that favor.

The "ashes" of Sakurajima, you mean?

Yes, if there was any found on the clothes Mr. Tatsumura was wearing...

There was none whatsoever on his clothes.

However, I already checked

with the Kagoshima District Weather Station a while ago

and found that on the day of the incident,

in the Kagoshima city area where Mr. Tatsumura's house is,

ashes were falling all the way through,

from around noon to midnight.

Doesn't something feel sandy?

Now that you mentioned it...

It's probably the ashes.

Yes, ashes were falling back then.

Isn't it odd?

We arrived at his house at 6:00 in the evening.

If Mr. Tatsumura was killed and carried out just about that time,

it's only natural that ashes would have been on his clothes too.

But, there were no ashes on his clothes at all.

In other words, Mr. Tatsumura did not leave home at 6:00 sundown,

but before the ashes came falling

that is some time in the morning.

I see.

No, but then...

Yes, there's a discrepancy.

It's blood.

I wonder what that blood stain was, Mrs. Shiraishi.

I was mistaken about one thing.

The reason you went out of your way, that day to take us sightseeing...

I thought it was because Mr. Tatsumura asked me

to pose for advertisement of your product...

Mr. Mouri, please refuse what Mr. Tatsuma asked you to do yesterday.

I thought that you showed us around

because you wanted me to refuse his offer.

It wasn't?

You did so to establish your alibi

and to set us up as witnesses to testify that Mr. Tatsumura was killed

just before we arrived at his house.

Am I not right,

Mrs. Shiraishi.

No way...

Mr. Mouri.

I said a while ago that the real killer is a woman.

-A woman... -You're referring to Ms. Maezono?

I'm talking about Mrs. Fumiko Shiraishi.

You offered from your side to take us sightseeing.

That morning you...

made up some excuse and summoned Mr. Tatsumura out to the park.

Mrs. Shiraishi.

Mrs. Shiraishi.

She probably said something like, "I'd like to talk to you,"

and made him get in the car once more

and put him to sleep...

Getting anesthesia ready

and getting blood samples were easy for you to do

for you were a nurse before.

Then, after that you came to pick us up at the hotel.

"Shiroyama Grand Hotel"

-Good morning. -Good morning.

Good morning.

You spent the whole day with us

and cleverly lead us to Mr. Tatsumura's house.

It's open.

I'll go check inside.

Mr. Tatsumura, this is Fumiko.

And, you carried out what you schemed in the living room...

Mr. Mouri!

Mrs. Shiraishi!

What's the matter?

Out of the two mysteries one of them,

why did the killer go out of the way to carry the corpse out, rather...

you didn't carry him out.

There was no corpse in that house to begin.

But the lights in the house were on, weren't they?

Before you came to pick us up,

you borrowed the keys from Mr. Tatsumura who was asleep

went into his house, turned on the lights

as well as unlock the front entrance door at that time.

So, that's the story...

Hold on a second!

Now for the second mystery...

Wait, Wait a minute, I said.

What you're saying is strange. It's totally strange.

You seem to want to insist that Fumiko is the killer,

but she was with you all day that day.

There's no way she could've done it.

When on earth could she have done it?

Right, Dad, when?

Right after the you know what, right Mrs. Shiraishi?

I'm sorry to have gotten you involved in something bothersome like this.

After you dropped us off at the hotel...

That's when.

You got a bronze statue

just like the one at Mr. Tatsumura's house beforehand.

In other words, this case occurred after the police began investigation.

It was a blind spot.

It can't be helped.

No one ordinarily checks for alibis after the investigation starts.

You tried to make us think that the estimated time of the murder

was just before we arrived at Mr. Tatsumura's residence.

Doing so would give you a perfect alibi.

Because after all you were with us right through.

The second mystery...

Why did the killer notify the police

of the whereabouts of the corpse two days later?

Two days having past,

it's hard to determine an accurate estimate,

but there seems to be no doubt that the time of death

is between sundown to night that day.

If the corpse was discovered immediately,

the estimated time of death would come out accurately.

On the other hand, if the corpse is left as is for many days,

it would be impossible to figure it out.

Either way, would make meaningless the alibi that is perfect.

That's why it was best for the corpse to be found two days later.

Mr. Mouri, when and how did you figure out I committed the murder?

On the day before the incident,

you recommended Mr. Tatsumura to go get a physical exam, didn't you?

That...

What do you mean?

If you take a blood sample, the trace of the needle would be left behind,

and that would bring about suspicion during the autopsy.

But, if he gets a physical the day before,

blood samples would naturally be taken.

In other words, she injected him in the exact same place

that he was injected the day before.

I see.

But, why...

Why did you kill Mr. Tatsumura?

I was scared.

I thought that if he kept on staying at this brewery,

one day someone would be influenced by him

and stop making sake the old way,

as a result dropping the quality of our sake.

That someone who was concerned only about making money

would one day come along.

No way, Mrs. Shiraishi.

Not among anyone of us, never!

Maybe now...

But, people change when various things happen.

Mr. Tatsumura... changed too, didn't he?

I'm to blame. I'm... to blame for all this...

I should've fired him.

Not being able to get rid of somebody who saved the brewery

is one of your good points. It's okay.

But, why... why did you...

I just wanted to look good.

I wanted to say, I'm the one who saved this brewery.

Of course she is not be forgiven for killing someone.

But, she did what she did wanting to repay your father for his kindness.

To father...

One who never forgets a kindness received.

Your wife is just like you, a woman of Satsuma for sure.

Fumiko.

Of course we're alike.

We're husband and wife.

Don't bother seeing me off.

You have to hurry back to the brewery.

Mrs. Shiraishi...

Fumiko...

There are people throughout Japan

who are waiting for the sake that you make.

I'll wait for you too.

I'll wait till you come back

while continuing to make genuine sake.

A case was thus, closed.

They don't have it here after all, the Takakuma.

Takakuma, Takakuma...

Who cares, I'll just get anything that's around!

You're still buying?

It's more quantity than quality after all...

Black vinegar is good for the health.

Like father like daughter, really...

Next Conan's Hint:

"The news"

The next episode is Love Story 6?

I think this will continue till the 100th episode.

I feel sorry for the two.
