Friendship, love and mystery.

We stick it out because we believe promises will be kept.

Tracking down a cell phone case leads us to

revealing an unexpected case.

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

"Forgotten Cell Phone (Part 2)"

Thank you very much!

Yes.

I see. Yes.

I understand.

Yes, thank you.

And?

I found three prospective people!

They called from day before yesterday to today.

Three people?

And? What did they have to say?

The first one said he wanted to go the interview site of a company

but forgot the paper that he had written the address on at home

and said he may be excluded from the interview if they found out.

And asked to somehow have them give him the address.

The second call was from a man

who said his daughter who had run away from home

and that he wanted to specify

from where the phone call was placed.

The third call was from a person who said that the cell phone

of a person who he had befriended during his trip

was mistakenly mixed up in his bag.

He wanted to thank that person

as well as return the cell phone

so he wanted the name and address of that person.

He's the one!

He's the only one who mentioned cell phone so far!

Yes!

On top of that, only this last person

asked to have the phone number too.

And, what's the number?

Well, since they were going to refuse answering him,

they didn't take his number down.

Besides, all three seem to have called from outside

and not their residence,

so they don't know who called at all.

-From outside? -Yup.

One called the day before yesterday

from the platform of Beika Station,

the next one called yesterday at noon from sports shop Apollo

and yesterday at sundown

another called from Restaurant Colombo.

The problem is...

they don't remember which person it was

that asked for the cell phone number.

Oh, right.

It seems that only the person who asked for the phone number

suddenly hung the phone up from his side.

Suddenly?

Yes. They say they heard a sound

on the other side of the line at that time.

A sound that interrupted conversation.

A loud sound.

Well, it seems to have been so sudden that

they didn't seem to have time to make out what the sound of the was.

I guess we have no choice but to get in touch

with the place that these three people called.

I've passed one of the universities that I applied.

Oh, I'm happy for you!

Thanks.

I guess you're relieved.

Here's your change.

Now, for the first one.

Yes.

The Tohto Kanjo Line will be coming in shortly!

What? The public phone on the platform?

The night before last.

There were many passengers using the phone so...

I thought so.

I mean I understand.

Hey! Could it be that guy?

You know that person who was standing in front of the phone

that looked to be contemplating whether to call or not.

Come to think of it, yeah.

He was wearing this expensive looking coat,

with a frightening and taut look.

He comes around to the station recently.

Didn't you hear a loud sound in the background

when this person was on the phone?

A loud sound?

Yes.

Of course, all the time!

Because this is a train station after all. See!

The train for Kenbashi will be coming shortly.

Please stand behind the white line.

Oh!

The announcement at the train station!

-Hello? -It's true that you can hardly hear.

Hello!

Did you hear that? That's the loud sound.

Thank you. I understand very well now.

But, do you happen to have any other information

on that frightening man?

Yeah, maybe I'll see him again tonight.

I see him a lot recently on the platform.

Well, if you see him, please contact us!

Yes, all right.

Thank you for your help!

Yes!

About noon yesterday, there was a man with a short hair cut

that came here asking to use the phone. He's the one, right?

He said that the battery of his cell phone went dead

and that he had no loose change either,

so he wanted to borrow the phone.

A loud noise?

Yes.

Was there noise loud enough back then

that you had to stop talking?

Yeah. I'm sure you're referring to the sound of the construction

that's been going on for about a week in front of the bank.

See! It's started again!

It's like this intermittently from a little after noon time!

The sound of construction.

Huh? About sundown yesterday?

Oh! He must be one of our customers!

He's reticent and always wearing light colored sunglasses.

He unusually seems to have forgotten his cell phone

and asked for loose change in order to use the phone.

So, I remember him well.

Huh? A loud noise?

Yes, did you hear a noise loud enough that you had to stop talking?

I wonder. This road is known for being quiet.

Hello, everyone!

I, Shuhei Baisho with your ballot, with you voting for me

will work along with you to create a quiet town!

Did you hear that loud sound?

It's like this every noon and at sundown.

It seems that the campaign car usually takes this route.

A political campaign car.

When will that customer come to your shop again?

He comes everyday,

so when he comes again, I'll give you a call.

Thank you. I'll be waiting for you to call me then.

All of them sure sound suspicious.

All of the three cases seem to fit the description.

This is?

Huh?

What's this? This cell phone is strange!

Look at it, Pops. See.

Kid! Don't tell me you broke it?

No. The phone numbers that are saved in this cell phone.

Most of them start with the same four numbers.

1028.

1025. True.

Almost all the figures are similar.

Maybe they all live in the same neighborhood!

Stupid! I just told you

that there are no 10 digit numbers that start with 1.

I'm pretty sure that the owner of this cell phone, that chubby man

who got to know people on the job or something,

put numbers in order besides their names.

Hey. Among those numbers, which are the smallest ones?

This is it.

It's more than 1,000. He sure knows a lot of people.

Yeah. Maybe he was a door to door sales man

and just numbering his customers.

Then what is the number behind it supposed to be?

And this! What about this black dot?

Some are marked and some are not.

Maybe he marked the people

who are prospective buyers with the black dot.

The number towards the end like "150" and "600"

could be number of products he sold, or...

If so, that's strange?

Because there are no people before the numbers 1022,

that are at the start of the all the numbers,

and see look carefully!

There are two people with the number "1031"!

One.

Two.

True.

And, this too.

There's a person numbered 1101

but why isn't there anyone with the numbers 1032 to 1100?

If he was numbering everyone in order,

why does the number jump suddenly from 1031 to 1101?

Could it be that...

it's a calendar?

Calendar?

1031, October 31st.

1101, November 1st and so forth.

I see!

Everything falls in place that way.

Hold it.

If this number stands for the end of October last year

and this other one the 1st of November,

it's just about the time the Tohto Congress election was held.

Oh!

Besides, back then it was a pretty busy time

with the community baseball tournament

and preparations for the autumn festival and all.

So, it's for sure that this guy's not from this community.

Hey! That's not the point.

I'm sorry.

No problem.

If the four digits at the top are dates,

the numbers behind them could be the time that he made the visit.

"150", 1:50.

"600", 6:00 sharp.

Then why are the surnames written in Kanji

and the names in Katakana?

Because when he visits the house,

the surname is written on the name plate,

but he can only get the name of the person after he talks to them.

It could be that the person was angry at the guy

for selling him something he didn't want.

What? Who?

The guy who called using an a number that was not displayed.

The one who shouted for the owner of the cell phone to take the call.

And the same one who called the telephone company

asking for the name and address of the owner of the cell phone.

The man with the frightening face.

If we can find out who and where he is,

we can get the phone number of this cell phone from him

and figure out the identity of the chubby guy.

Darn! We wouldn't have to think so hard if that guy didn't die.

I wonder if that's how it really is.

It's strange after all.

The place where that cell phone was forgotten.

It's strange that it was folded in two,

with the antenna sticking out and under the sofa.

That's true, that it's strange.

It's as if the cell phone was asking for someone to find it.

Talking of the phone ringing,

the gruff person who was the second one to call said,

"Did it ring?"

Maybe the chubby man made the gruff man call

and was planning to secretly give him the cell phone.

Don't be silly.

Then, why didn't he call the gruff man over to this shop?

If the phone rings, the employee of the shop would find it first

and he could never give it away secretly, could he?

Exactly! It's just as Pops says!

-Right? -He would never come back for something

he was planning to hand over secretly!

He couldn't have made mistake as to the place either.

Mistake?

You know, like I always make a mistake too.

Come to think of it, before getting run over,

the chubby man asked for directions at the convenience store.

I see! That's right.

If he wasn't familiar with this place,

there's a possibility of him making a mistake.

Then, the most suspicious would be...

Apollo!

He could've made a mistake because this shop Poirot

sounds similar to Apollo, the sports shop?

I see!

But, Azusa, I think it's hard to believe that

he'd mistake a sports shop for this coffee shop, don't you?

I guess so.

Azusa!

Why is the name of this shop called Poirot?

Yup. I wonder if you know, Hercule Poirot.

The master likes him, that's where we got the name!

Conan, do you know Poirot?

The man's that a bit plump.

Yup! I've seen him on TV!

He's the one that always says, "You know, my wife she..."

The detective that's wearing the wrinkled up coat, right?

No!

He's not Poirot, but Colom...

Bo...

Don't tell me!

Maybe he made a mistake because they're both detectives?

Besides, Colombo is located on 5-chome like we are.

So, if that chubby man

remembered the shop as one on 5-chome that has the name of detective,

it's understandable that he would make a mistake.

Let's go!

Where to?

Where else?

The other detective's shop!

-Wait! -Hey! I'm going too!

Me too!

The identity of the chubby man is becoming clear!

The man with the sunglasses that I told you about over the phone

hasn't come yet.

Oh, yeah?

Could we wait for him here, then?

Yeah.

Are you going to be all right, Azusa,

taking off from work like this?

Yes. Master's there

and as long as go back by sundown when it'll start getting busy.

I'm so concerned that I can't work this way anyway.

Hey, mister!

Did that customer ask you something?

Yeah.

From just a while ago, each time he comes here, he keeps asking me

whether anybody found a forgotten cell phone here.

Just as I thought.

-There seems to be no doubt about it. -Right.

Oh! There he is.

Welcome!

It's him. But what did you want with him?

Oh, just a little something.

I'll go talk to him.

If I talk to him, I'm pretty sure I can tell

whether he's the person who called or not.

No! I'll go first!

-Huh? -In times like this, men should go first.

What's the matter, Mr. Detective?

Aren't you going to go talk to him?

Talk to that man after you hear my deduction out.

First for the strange names in Katakana that were in this cell phone.

Although it's made to look like names of people at first glance,

these are actually the short form of a certain name.

A certain name?

Please show me the cell phone.

Just what do you mean?

There are names that are saved on the cell phone

that are very unnatural as names of people, aren't there?

Could you be referring to Sho Kenbashi and Chiyo Daitoma?

True. I've heard of places named like that,

but not so with the names of people.

Right! Those probably are the names of place.

For example, Sho Kenbashi stands for Kenbashi Shopping Arcade

and Chiyo Daitoma stands for Daitoma Community.

True that it falls into place if so.

Ken Aida stands for Aida Construction Company.

Seisaku Ishizawa stands for Ishizawa Manufacturing Company.

Furthermore, the 10 digit numbers that are

registered together with the names.

The 4 numbers at the top are dates.

The numbers after that denotes cash,

and the black dot shows that the company in question

is in the black.

In other words, it's about income.

The ones without the black dot means just the opposite.

That is, expense.

If you consider that the dates are focused

during the election time of last year,

-there is just one answer. -It can't be.

Under-the-counter accounting book of election campaign funds?

Exactly.

I have no idea how the chubby man

got a hold of the under-counter accounting book,

but there's probably no mistake that he was extorting money for this.

He probably put the copy of the accounting book into the cell phone

to show the one he was extorting that he really had the info.

Which means that the man is...

Most probably some man hired by Congressman Baisho,

who runs his election campaign car through this area.

-What? -He probably

wanted to get back the under-the-counter accounting book.

That man hung up part way calling the telephone company.

Because he heard the Shuhei Baisho's election car coming.

He didn't want people to think that anybody connected to Baisho

was searching for somebody who had information on the account book,

so he hung up without thinking.

The one who chose this shop as the place to get the info,

is that man wearing sunglasses, who frequents this shop.

He was supposed to ring the cell phone here

and secretly get hold of the information

but the chubby man made a mistake!

But, I wonder why the chubby man didn't call our shop

after he realized he made a mistake?

Probably because he realized

only after the time he promised to ring the cell phone.

Because if it worked out the way it should have,

the chef of this shop was supposed to have found the cell phone

and the man wearing the sunglasses was supposed to come pick it up

as something he forgot.

Even if he went to the wrong shop, if he calls the cell phone,

the guys could come pick it up at Poirot.

But he didn't want the guys to hear his voice.

So, he probably carried everything out using faxes and e-mails,

because he didn't want the guys to get anything on him,

including his face and voice that would identify him.

That's why he even ended the contract with the cell phone company

and peeled off the product number.

Then why did the chubby man rush back to Poirot?

He wanted to confirm whether the man wearing the sunglasses

really got hold of the cell phone.

Because if someone picked it up and delivered it to the police,

his plans for getting cash would go down the drain.

But, under these circumstances,

that man wearing the sunglasses

would probably refuse to talk no matter what we ask him.

-Don't worry, there's still a way. -Huh?

Okay, Conan?

Yup!

Let's go, Azusa!

Huh?

-Hurry! -Conan?

Hey, Azusa! I wonder who forgot that cell phone.

If the owner can't be found, give it to me, okay?

This is the first time I've seen a cell phone

with such a strange pattern!

Huh? There are many strange names and letters in it!

Conan.

Hey you! Kid!

I mean, sonny.

You see, that's my phone.

What? Really?

Then, show me proof!

Proof?

Yup, if this is yours,

you should know the number of this cell phone, right?

I'll call it with my cell phone and see if it really works.

Will you give me the cell phone number?

Cut out the blabbering, hurry up and...

There's a policewoman!

I think I'll give this to that policewoman.

Hold it. Okay.

I'll give you the number now.

I got hold of the chubby man's phone number,

and from that number the police tracked down the apartment

where the chubby man lived.

The man seems to have been a journalist

and a copy of the under-the-counter account book

was found buried below a heap of receipts.

The names, dates and amount of cash were clearly written in it

and it was more than enough to serve as evidence.

All the people who received money from

or who were given money from Congressman Baisho

during the election campaign

were arrested, one after the other.

"Cafe Poirot"

Welcome!

I'm Kogoro Mouri.

A cup of hot coffee, please!

I'm an unknown detective that is fighting

with the dark aspects of society.

No, let me revise what I just said.

I am Kogoro Mouri, a renown detective!

Hello!

Thank you so very much for yesterday.

If anything should ever come up again, make sure you tell me, okay?

Yes, sir.

Yes, there is no case that I cannot solve.

Take for instance, that student.

He has successfully passed the university exam,

and doesn't have to come here to study anymore,

and yet he comes here frequently.

I'm sure that something else is blossoming inside him now.

A case!

Yes! This is Detective Mouri.

Hello, dad?

It's me.

Yup, what is it?

I think I'm going to be a bit late because of club practice today,

so could you go shopping for me?

Yes. Of course.

Potatoes.

Carrots, onions, pork, and apples!

Yep.

I figure we're going to be having curry tonight?

Bull's eye! Just as expected of a great detective!

Okay, got you! It sure is an important case!

I'll head off to the site immediately!

-Oh, no! -What's the matter, dad?

Hot, my coffee! My coffee!

Business sure is slow, eh, Pops?

Next Conan's Hint:

"Trolley track"

Fishing? You caught nothing, right?

Well, it's way better than

not fishing at all and just holding buckets.
