Even a gigantic wall that seems to block the path.

Turns out to be a large door if viewed from a different angle.

The relationship between master and apprentice has been broken.

But the story of saury will reconcile them.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Sand and fish under the water.

Where we sleep...

What we eat and where we sleep...

And where you live!

5-39 Beika Town!

I'm not talking about your home.

It's the next line.

You forgot it already?

It's been almost for a week.

I can't believe he still haven't memorize the lines.

Yabura-koji and Bura-koji.

Paipo, paipo.

Paipo, paipo!

Paipo, Paipo's hooligan.

Hooligan's Shaolin boxing.

It's Paipo, Paipo's Shuringan.

Shuringan's Gurindai.

Gurindai's Popokopi and Ponpokona.

Now, the name is Chokyumei Chosuke.

Mouri,

maybe you want to forget about it this time.

I don't think you are the kind of person to do memorization.

Don't say that, Inspector.

Well, I think I know why you're doing this.

It's about all-you-can-drink, isn't it?

I understand, but it's not worth embarrassing yourself.

Well, it's not that.

Mr. Mouri, are you going to the hall already?

You're all pumped up, aren't you?

"Nagaro Uwajima (50)" -The famous Detective Mouri

is going to do rakugo storytelling. People are talking about it, you know.

He's Nagaro Uwajima, my facilitator.

Did you hear that, Inspector?

Would you still say that I should quit rakugo storytelling?

All right, all right.

I'll teach you a story, but it's a short one,

so you can memorize it easily.

Dear! Please look ahead while you're driving.

There's no deer on the road.

Oh dear, you're talking about that deer.

Now, that's the right one for him.

"Meguro Saury"

Hey, it's Master Manrakutei Ichimatsu.

Master Ichimatsu, are you ready for today?

"Manrakutei Ichimatsu (55)" -Yes, Nagaro.

No worries.

He is my childhood friend.

Who was that boy earlier?

Well, he wanted to be my apprentice,

but I told him to come after graduating from school.

Master, tea is ready.

Hi, Uwajima.

Nagaro, why don't you have tea with us?

And you too, please.

Well, what is the master of rakugo storytelling doing here?

He's a helper for this restaurant.

A helper?

Who is that lady then?

Spring has finally come to master.

And now he is out from his bachelor life.

"Miya Meguro (30)" -What kind of fish is that?

It's saury.

That's a lot of saury.

I get it.

Master, your storytelling for today is "Meguro Saury", isn't it?

Yes.

Your "Meguro Saury" is amazing.

People are going to come here to eat saury after your performance.

That's what it's for, isn't it?

Hey, what is "Meguro Saury"?

"Meguro Saury" is a rakugo story.

Long ago, there was a king who was brought up protected from the world.

One day, he went out to Meguro to hunt birds.

There, a farmer served him a meal which was a saury,

which he had never eaten before in his life.

Being so impressed with its taste,

the king ordered a saury again when he went to a different place.

However, the saury that was served

was mealy and flaky because his servant steamed and broke it into flakes

to make it safe and healthy to eat.

Since the saury tasted so different,

the king asked what kind of saury it was.

"It was saury that just landed in Boshu", said the servant.

And then, the king said...

-"Meguro Saury is the best!" -"Meguro Saury is the best!"

What happened?

It hurts...

I think I cut my finger with the broken cup.

You're bleeding!

Hey, I'm alright.

People are watching us.

What are you talking about?

You're going to be on stage tonight.

You have to take care of yourself.

Thank you for the tea, Miya.

Master, the party after the show is at Meruhen at 7 o'clock, okay?

All right. Meruhen at 7 o'clock, I got it.

Okay, we're going to head to the hall now.

She is the wife of Master Ichimatsu's apprentice?

Yes. His name is Manrakutei Kisaburo.

He is a famous rakugo storyteller, right?

She's his wife?

She's actually divorced with that man

and Master Ichimatsu is looking after her now.

This is just my guess,

but it looks like Master Ichimatsu has been helping her out financially.

What a gentleman he is.

Well, I'm more worried about him because she might just be using him.

What do you mean by that?

How could a wife be intimate with someone who ousted her husband?

People are saying that Master Ichimatsu has made a lot of money.

So I thought that she's getting close to him just for that.

Looks can be deceiving, is that what you mean?

I guess people are humane only in rakugo stories.

"Talent Show"

Paipo, Paipo's Shuringan.

Shuringan's Shuringan's...

The short one!

Change it to the short story.

Oh, okay.

There's no deer on the road.

Gosh!

How could he say the ending first?

Look ahead! Look ahead!

Look ahead?

Oh, I see!

Dear, please look ahead while you're driving.

There's no deer on the road.

Master Ichimatsu, please.

Okay.

So, how did it go, Mr. Mouri?

I didn't know I was that talented.

You should've seen the way people were laughing.

They were laughing at you, not your story.

Is that right?

Maybe you should teach me how to do rakugo storytelling?

Is this a saury?

Tell me where you bought it.

It is from the riverside of Nihonbashi.

I chose the freshest one, my Lord.

You dunderhead. Meguro saury is the best.

Master, we're going to drink all night!

Next time, I'll get the first prize!

Hey, hey. He's going to do it again?

Excuse me, my friend may be visiting me.

So why don't you go ahead?

There's some work left for me too,

so could you wait for me outside just a little while, please?

Uwajima is a busy man.

Looks like he's done.

Master, we'll head out to the party place now.

Sorry to keep you waiting long.

Where's Master Ichimatsu?

His friend hasn't come yet, so he said he'll catch up later.

I see.

This is Megure.

What? Master Ichimatsu has been stabbed?

It was an anonymous call?

It was a man's voice,

saying that Master Ichimatsu had been stabbed in this dressing room.

It's a lot of blood.

He was lying unconscious when he was found.

Is he going to make it?

I don't know.

What is this?

Megurono?

Isn't that about the rakugo storytelling, "Meguro Saury"?

He wanted to write "Meguro Saury", but he couldn't finish it.

Speaking of Meguro, I need you to see this.

Look at the handle of this knife.

It's kind of scraped off, but it says "Meguro".

Meguro...

Meguro Saury...

Saury Lunch...

Inspector Megure, I got it!

The culprit is...

Miya.

She's the lady at Meguro Restaurant.

I'm sorry.

It was me.

It was me who did it.

This is your knife, right?

Yes.

But why did you do it?

Let me explain instead.

You had some financial trouble.

You owed Master Ichimatsu money,

but if you kill him, you don't have to pay it back.

Wasn't that what you thought?

I'm sorry.

-Chiba. -Yes, sir.

To the station, please.

Wait a minute!

She didn't do anything!

Excuse me, who are you?

You are...

Manrakutei Kisaburo.

Master Ichimatsu's apprentice.

"Manrakutei Kisaburo (30)" -It was me who did it.

I'm Manrakutei Kisaburo, the one that was ousted a year ago.

I stole the knife from Miya's restaurant

and I stabbed Master Ichimatsu.

Why did you do that?

He may not be your master now, but at least he was before, right?

Inspector!

He is lying just to protect me.

It was me who did it.

I became pretty popular and got bigheaded.

So I skipped a show, had some debts gambling.

I also had some love affairs.

But I don't think he should have kicked me out!

So that's your motive?

That's a lie.

He loves rakugo storytelling more than anything.

He must be longing to come back on stage again.

Such a person wouldn't do that kind of thing.

Then how do you explain these words that master wrote?

"Meguro Saury."

It's my favourite story.

Then it's been cleared.

Mr. Mouri, no!

He didn't do anything!

It was me! I did it!

You shut up, got that?

These two think that the other is the culprit

and they're protecting each other.

Anyway, what's the meaning of this message?

Come to think of it, Master Ichimatsu said...

Excuse me, my friend may be visiting me.

So why don't you go ahead?

Who was the master waiting for, anyway?

Party at 7 o'clock.

Meruhen?

Wait a minute!

I got it!

That must be it!

Okay, we will find out the detailed facts in the station.

-Let's go, Chiba. -Yes, sir.

What are you doing there?

Let's go!

Inspector, please wait.

Those two have nothing to do with this crime at all.

Kisaburo, you visited Master Ichimatsu's dressing room.

Around the time when we were heading down to Restaurant Meruhen.

Probably a little before 7 o'clock.

He was already down on the floor.

And there, you found a knife that had a familiar name on it.

So you thought Miya did it. Am I right?

That's why you...

On the other hand, Miya saw Kisaburo going into this room.

As soon as he found Master Ichimatsu lying on the floor, he left the room.

When she saw this, she thought Kisaburo murdered Master Ichimatsu.

You saw me there? Now, I understand.

Well, what else could I think?

And also, I am your biggest fan.

If the police come, I thought I should...

I see.

But you really thought I killed Master?

How could you even think that?

Well, how could you think that I killed him, too?

I would never hurt him, ever!

Guys, please!

Mouri, who stabbed Master Ichimatsu?

Master Ichimatsu actually wrote the name of the murderer on this board.

You mean this "Megurono"?

This can't be a person's name.

Officer Chiba, do you see Master Ichimatsu's bag under the whiteboard?

Would you please take the notebook out of it?

Now, I would like you to read Master Ichimatsu's schedule for tonight.

Party at 7 o'clock.

Naruheso?

Naruheso?

What is Naruheso?

Yeah, it does say "Naruheso".

Now, please remember.

Master Ichimatsu cut his right finger. We saw it.

He probably used his left hand to write "Meruhen",

but it got deformed.

So "Meruhen" turned into "Naruheso".

Inspector, tilt your head to the side

and look at the word on the whiteboard.

If you tilt this letter "me", it becomes "na".

Likewise, "gu" becomes "ga".

"Ro" stays the same, but "no" could be a long vowel.

Now, guess what we got?

Nagaro?

Uwajima, where do you think you're going?

I got some stuff to do so.

Well, you need to hang out with us a little longer.

Uwajima, I think Master Ichimatsu wanted to write your name.

Yes, he wanted to tell us that you were the culprit.

Are you kidding?

When did I do it?

I didn't have enough time to do it, Mr. Mouri.

You know that, right?

Officer Chiba, please search at the hole on the ceiling.

All right.

There's a bag under the roof.

I asked Conan to search for it a while ago.

It showed that this room and the office are connected under the roof.

Now, please check what's inside.

Yes, sir.

You're selling this at your store.

Women usually put this doll in their room

so it looked like a man is with them.

For the sake of their own safety.

You actually put this by the window,

so it looked like you were doing some work.

What you were actually doing during this time,

you come into this dressing room through the space under the roof,

pick up a knife that you put there beforehand and killed Master.

Uwajima...

You joined us like nothing happened,

and headed out to Meruhen together.

No. That's nonsense.

It's not me.

Where is the evidence?

Do you have anything that proves that I stabbed him?

Officer Chiba, do you see the speaker on the wall?

Speaker?

-Yes. -Will you search around the speaker?

There should be a MD recorder.

A MD recorder?

Please take a look.

The power is on in order to record what is going on in the hall.

Master Ichimatsu asked me something just a while ago.

So, how did it go, Mr. Mouri?

That means he wasn't listening to my storytelling.

The MD recorder wasn't on.

But now it is...

On.

Who turned it on?

Probably by somebody

who wanted to wiretap Master Ichimatsu's "Meguro Saury".

It was on the speaker.

Officer Chiba, could you please rewind and play it?

You dunderhead. Meguro saury is the best.

Uwajima, recorders today are not like the ones before.

It can record much, much longer.

Officer Chiba, the moment of the incident should be recorded in the tape.

Please fast-forward it to that part.

Yes, sir.

Nagaro, what are you doing? Nagaro!

Shut up! Getting conceited after being called master!

It's all because of you that Miya doesn't listen to me!

Stop talking nonsense!

Miya is waiting for Kisaburo to come back.

Darn it!

Please stop it!

Stop. It was me.

I stole the knife from Miya's restaurant

and I stabbed him.

Hey, kid.

This is master's recording tape. You can have this.

This has "Meguro Saury", so forget about your MD.

I understand that you like master's storytelling,

but you can never record it like that, okay?

Okay! I'm sorry!

Miya! Kisaburo!

I just got a call from the hospital.

They said Master is going to be fine.

But, how could you think that I stabbed Master

just because you saw me coming out of his room?

-Yeah, because you were holding a knife in your hand. -A knife?

Conan, the knife she saw might be that.

Yes. I think so, too.

You brought this, right, Kisaburo?

So it was there?

It was the freshest saury I found this morning.

I got it for Master.

You thought this was a knife, didn't you?

It was kind of dark and you had a languishing look on your face.

You are so stupid!

How could a saury look like a knife?

Come on, guys.

In Japanese, you write "autumn", "sword" and "fish",

and you read it as "saury".

It's understandable that you made the mistake.

Now, no need to worry about Master Ichimatsu.

Why don't you eat that saury together, like you used to do before?

Well, I wouldn't mind that.

Me neither.

But we have to go and see Master first.

Why don't you ask him to let you work as his apprentice again?

You think he'll forgive me?

He will,

because he's been waiting for you to come back.

I was daydreaming again.

Conan, you're crying because of my story, aren't you?

Storytelling usually gets kids bored and sleepy, but mine doesn't.

I think that tells how good I am.

I'm not sleeping

because you're sitting where I'm supposed to be sleeping.

"Evil Message"

What? Next week the two detectives are going to do an hour show?
