Original subtitles

Victory, sincerity, charging for the truth.

Endless impulse to aim for the best!

Feeling unpleasant early in the New Year.

Ran receives a love letter.

A crime gives extra jolt to a shocked heart.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

And Kitada from Class C

-was brushed off. -Oh, was the girl Mouri?

Oh, Ran!

Are you going home already?

Sonoko. Yeah.

I'm thinking of making something good for Conan,

because I've been lazy making meals recently.

Is this what a young and beautiful high school girl should say?

How about you learn something from her, Suzuki?

Shut up!

Okay, I guess I'll go home too then.

Will you wait for me by the shoes box,

while I go get my bag?

Okay, I get it.

"Ms. Ran Mouri"

"Ms. Ran Mouri"

Don't tell me that this is?

What shall I do?

No. I guess I'll open it at home after all.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Ran!

Huh? What's this?

Ms. Ran Mouri?

S.H.?

Hey, Ran this is...

It was in my shoes compartment. What shall I do?

What do you mean, what shall I do?

What else?

"Love Letter to Ran"

Quick, rip it open!

Hold your horses.

"Please forgive me for suddenly sending you a letter like this."

"When I think of you,"

"my heart beats so hard that I can't even sleep at night."

"Please meet me just once."

"Tomorrow after school,"

"I'll be waiting you in front of the fountain at Beika Park."

You did it, Ran! It's a love letter!

He's probably an under classman.

He doesn't know you already have Shinichi.

-Hey! Shinichi has nothing to do with this... -What!

I tell you! You can't even talk safely around here!

Sorry, sorry...

Let's go some place else!

Wait a second, Sonoko.

A love letter.

Come to think of it, I haven't received any recently.

How about you, Ran?

What do you mean?

Don't tell me this is the first time you received one.

It's my first.

Seriously?

I see, you're with Shinichi all the time

so nobody can approach you.

I said that Shinichi has nothing to do with this!

I wonder who he is?

What?

An alumni of the kendo club, maybe?

See, he's holding a wooden sword.

Never mind him, the love letter's more important!

-Let's go. -Hey!

And, what are you going to do?

You're going to Beika Park, aren't you?

What shall I do?

What are you troubled about?

Go and turn him down flat.

Tell him that you're already going with somebody.

Just because it doesn't have anything to do with you!

You really seemed troubled.

Yeah.

I guess I have no choice, leave it to me.

-Huh? -I'll refuse very nicely for you.

What are you going to refuse?

Oh, glasses kid!

What're you doing in a place like this?

You look very serious, Ran.

Well, of course, because we were talking about

the first love letter Ran ever got.

Love letter?

Sonoko.

My dear Ran,

I would like to hug you and kiss those cute little lips.

That's not true, Conan.

Nothing like that was written in the letter.

But, it's true that you received a love letter.

And who was it from?

Oh, so it bothers you.

You idiot, why would I be?

Maybe it does bother me a bit?

You're really something, kid.

It was from a freshman with the initials S.H.

A freshman?

It said that he wants to meet her tomorrow

after school in front of the fountain at Beika Park.

That's enough already, Sonoko.

Since Ran seems to be troubled,

I'm thinking of going in her place to refuse his request, understand?

Okay, I got it.

Really, when I'm in this situation...

Who on earth can it be?

What shall I do?

I wonder if I should really let Sonoko handle this?

If he's good looking, I'll make him mine.

I wonder what happened.

What's the matter?

Huh?

If you need help, you should ask her to help you.

Her father is Detective Kogoro Mouri.

Hey, Conan.

I'm sorry.

And her boyfriend is the high school detective,

Shinichi Kudo.

Sonoko.

I know Detective Mouri

as well as Shinichi Kudo, the high school detective.

I'm an alumni of Teitan High School.

You are?

We're sophomore.

What shall I do?

Since the little boy offered.

Maybe I should ask for help.

Yes. It's okay, isn't it, Ran?

Yes. Well, if it's okay with you...

We'll help you.

Please come in, although it's messy.

-Hello. -Hello.

That...

He's my husband. He died a year ago.

Of an illness.

He was hospitalized for half a year and tried to pull through

but he didn't make it.

The fact is...

it seems that someone came into the house while we were out.

Huh?

I was out from about 1 pm,

for about two hours with Yuta.

And I seemed to have forgotten to to lock that glass door.

Moreover...

I take the rent for this place to the landlord myself,

so I went to the bank this morning to withdraw

the money and put it in this envelope.

It seems that the envelope I had in here

was taken out once.

Taken out?

But everything was returned, the entire amount.

How do you know that it was taken out once?

Because of the fold mark,

despite it being new bills, right?

Right.

Although it's a very faint fold though.

See.

Also...

Although I always leave it here...

There are traces that this diary was read too.

There's still more.

The most obvious thing,

is that someone placed an incense stick here.

Huh?

Hey, the incense stick was still lit, right?

About how much was left of it?

Well, about half.

Which means that the incense stick was placed

there about 15 minutes ago,

because incense stick will keep burning for about 30 minutes.

You're really knowledgeable, aren't you, Conan?

This kid knows a lot about weird things.

But, I wonder what's going on?

Let's say that someone did come into the house.

The point is who, for what reason came into the house.

Maybe it was a stalker?

I mean going through somebody's diary.

But, other than my diary,

nothing else seems to have been looked into or taken.

Then it could've been a thief!

But, then the money wouldn't be returned.

Besides, it's unthinkable that a thief would offer incense either.

I felt kind of creepy so I called the officer

but was told that they have no way of investigating

if nothing was taken.

The incense stick.

That's what bothers me the most.

The culprit is her acquaintance,

or her husband's acquaintance.

Hey, how did you get to know your husband?

Conan!

He's a really precocious kid.

We used to be classmates in high school.

But, we didn't think much of each other during high school.

After graduating from university,

we happened to run into each other on the street,

and started going with each other.

Then, it's different from you, Ran.

Of course, it's different!

You said that your diary was read,

but what kind of things do you have written in it?

There's nothing special written in it.

Although I'm busy everyday working and taking care of my son,

I'll keep myself going thinking of my husband,

or something like that.

It must be really hard being alone, Yuriko.

There was a time when I thought of committing suicide.

But, I had my son,

and after recalling how hard my husband tried to live,

despite suffering through his illness,

I had second thoughts about doing so.

Not only my husband, but there are many people in this world,

who cannot live despite wanting to do so.

I thought that I would never be forgiven

if I took my own life despite knowing this.

I can't help but cry.

Maybe,

the culprit felt the same way we feel now.

If so, the culprit...

Just the other day,

I saw news on TV that someone came in and robbed the house,

but changed his mind and left without taking anything.

Really, Conan?

Yes, it was the house of a teacher

that had taken good care of him when he was a child

and he went in without knowing about it.

-Yuriko, are you a school teacher... -No, I'm not.

But even if you weren't a teacher, you could be somebody they know.

More to the point, you could be somebody special to them.

Maybe I should start writing a diary too.

Moreover, the culprit read the diary of that special person!

The diary of someone who is living with all her might despite her plight.

I see! That's why he didn't take anything,

offered incense and left!

That's right.

That special person could be someone

that sent you a love letter during your high school days.

Come off it, Sonoko.

I'm seriously thinking this incident over, you know!

I'm serious too!

What do you think?

Well, yes. I received such a letter just once.

When?

In January of my senior year.

But, we never talked to each other,

knew each other's face or name either.

We were never in the same class

all through our years during high school.

But, it seems he used to always watch me,

and it was just that I never noticed.

Indeed genuine one-sided love.

In the letter it said,

"Please meet me in front of the fountain at Beika Park."

What?

Huh? What?

Oh, no, I'm sorry.

And? Did you go?

I wasn't sure what to do,

but he was waiting for me there

so, I told him how I honestly felt.

What did you say?

I think I said, "I'm really happy of how you feel for me,"

"but my head is filled with wanting to pass the entrance exam for now."

He went home without saying a word.

"Graduation memorial album"

Let's see...

He's the one.

"Shuhei Nagai" -Mr. Shuhei Nagai.

Wait a second, this man...

Nagai came to our high school?

Yuriko, weren't you in the kendo club?

Yes.

-I was captain of the club in my sophomore year. -Mama!

Just as I thought!

So, that does it!

What?

Most likely, he's the one who broke into your house.

I agree too.

Yuriko, haven't you heard anything about him after you graduated?

I think it was about two years ago.

I heard a bit about him from my husband's friend.

I haven't told anyone about Nagai, including my husband,

so when my husband and his friend was talking,

Nagai's subject came up as someone who went to school in the same year.

He stayed out of university for a year,

but, despite that couldn't get into the university of his choice.

Even after graduation,

he ended up working for a company he didn't like.

As a result, he quit the company

and seems to be doing freelance work now.

Could you have by any chance

entered a top-notch university just like that?

I don't know if it was top-notch or what,

but I did get into the university of my choice.

So, that's the story.

What is it, Sonoko?

Will you hear me out?

Hey, hey, are you know what you're doing?

I'm sure that Shuhei Nagai never forgot you

ever since he met you in front of the fountain at Beika Park.

But he probably couldn't contact you because he had inferiority complex

of not being able to enter a top-notch university like you did.

After that, even after going out into the society,

nothing worked out for him.

He finally runs out of money and comes back

to Beikacho where he knows his way around,

with the intention of breaking into a house.

While he goes around looking for the house of rich people,

most probably like mine,

he notices that the glass window of your house

is slightly opened.

And after finding out somehow that no one was home.

Then, he happened to notice.

The woman in the picture was who he had one-sidedly fallen in love with

during his high school days.

The man in the picture with her also looked familiar.

He was the classmate from same high school.

Moreover, seeing the picture on the altar,

he realizes that the classmate had passed away.

He then sees the diary,

although he knows he shouldn't he reads it.

He finds out that she is living

with all her might along with her little child.

He also thinks about his classmate who died at the young age of 20.

He is ashamed of himself for doing what he did,

being as young and healthy as he is.

When I watch Ran practicing karate with all her might,

myself sometimes think I've got to live with all my might too.

Sonoko.

Shuhei Nagai decides to start life all over again.

So he puts the money back into the envelope

and he offers incense stick in honour

for his classmates, then he leaves.

And, he made a final trip to the high school that the graduated

from vowing never to come back to this town again.

It just so happened that the kendo club was practicing.

Back then, he was recalling memories of you

and soaking in deep emotion.

So, he could be at Beika Park looking at the fountain just around now.

No.

You're fantastic, Sonoko!

It's very similar to mine.

Wait a second.

The Nagai that we saw in front of the gym

seemed a bit different from your deduction, Sonoko.

He seemed, well sort of, a bit more desperate.

Is that so?

Besides, it kind of bothered me that he was holding a wooden sword too.

-A wooden sword? -Yes.

Did you have anything else written in your diary?

To be honest,

there is one thing I didn't tell you all about.

Ten days ago, I had a slight accident

with a man who was riding a bicycle.

Back then, he told me that he was just fine,

but he later came to tell me that he started having neck problems.

That's...

I told him that I'd pay for his medical bills,

but he asked me date with him

in place of paying for the medical bills.

He was very persistent.

How terrible!

He seemed to be of bad character,

so I was scared that if I refused too strongly,

he would to something to Yuta.

That's why I didn't tell anybody about this.

Where is that man today?

He's out on a business trip till sundown.

That's why I know it's not him who broke in.

Everything you just told us is written in your diary, isn't it?

Yes.

That man called Nagai had a wooden sword, didn't he?

Maybe...

What's with you?

Are you that woman's man?

No!

Stay, stay away from her.

Keep your hands off her son too.

What? I don't know what the heck you're talking about!

Why you?

"Ryujin Real Estate Company"

Conan?

Hey, hey! Are you gone already?

-Don't touch her. -What?

Don't go near her.

What? I can't hear you.

Nagai!

What's with you guys?

What is it, kid?

Hey, it's strange, mister.

Your neck moves?

-You filthy kid! -A scum like you!

What do you want young lady?

Your neck is really in trouble now, mister!

Nagai!

Are you all right, Nagai?

I'm sorry, I...

Read your diary.

It's okay, you don't have to say anything.

I...

Wanted to help you.

11 years ago.

Huh?

11 years ago, I was really happy

when you came to the park.

I didn't think you would come.

Nagai.

I'll go see him myself, after all.

What?

Well, I don't know how to put it,

but I'll tell him how I honestly feel.

I think that I should act in good faith to the one who sent me the letter.

Yes. I think it's best you do too.

"Beika Park"

I made it.

Jeez.

Ran was saying that

she's going to tell the guy how she honestly feels.

I wonder if she's going to tell him about me...

I'm sorry.

I wrote that I'd be waiting here

and yet I made you wait instead.

Which means...

What?

I'm your fan, the captain of the karate club!

Please accept this.

Thank you.

Please keep up your good work!

Goodbye!

What's going on?

It wasn't a freshman boy.

Sonoko? Conan too?

I thought that today for sure

I would be able to hear how you truly feel and yet.

Too bad!

But popular with girls,

just as expected of you, Ran!

Next Conan's Hint:

"A girl who looks like Ai Haibara"

Haibara, you sure act like an adult.

I'll bet you're lying about your age.
