A showdown.

I'm your partner at all times!

The life of a person and a picture disappeared from a locked room.

Could this be the work of that guy who puts on airs, too?

He sees through the one and only truth.

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

His name is Detective Conan!

Kogoro Mouri?

Yes.

Why did you call that famous detective here?

Of course.

Father, the thief is after it.

After it? After what?

Naturally,

it's my new painting that the world of art has been waiting to see.

My painting, which is to follow "Red Lotus", "Gold", and "Pure White",

and "Blue Storm" here.

And in order to get a hold of this,

he will fly here and appear from the darkness,

the so-called magician under the moon, the great and well-known,

Thief Kid.

What?

The notice arrived this morning.

"Tomorrow at 20:00, under the light of the full moon,

I shall appear to get the 'Blue Storm' painting."

This is a warning of theft.

Oh, no. We've got to do something.

Of course, I've already contacted the police.

But he's an elusive, kaleidoscopic and unflawed magician.

I don't know if we'll succeed in protecting the painting.

No, that's not what I'm worried about.

With all this fuss, what if someone finds out about it?

No one will find out.

Forever.

Don't tell me that you, Takeyori...

Yes, I couldn't think of a better way to work things out.

Don't do it, Takeyori.

Stop whatever you're trying to do.

Do you have any right to say something like that?

This is all happening because of you, father.

If you insist, I've got something on my mind, too.

I'm only kidding.

I was just trying to put on a mean act.

After all, I'm a world famous artist.

I would never do something like that.

Then, is the notice was a joke as well?

No, this was indeed delivered here.

But no need to worry.

Thief Kid always never get to steal whatever he's after

if Detective Mouri is around.

See, thanks to the work of the little boy that is with him.

I'm sure he'll protect the painting for us this time, too.

That boy called Conan Edogawa.

"Thief Kid and the Four Masterpieces (Part 1)"

How about it, Conan?

This will be your third confrontation with Thief Kid.

Do you think you can outdo him?

I wonder?

I can't tell unless I actually confront him, but I don't think I'll lose.

It's not my third time either.

So you've confronted him more times than is written in the papers?

What's the secret to outdoing Thief Kid?

It's not that I always outdid him.

Of course, it's all due

to the daily training sessions taught by me, Kogoro Mouri.

Hey, you're that famous detective!

Then he sure is tried and tested!

So, famed detective,

what is your prospect of victory?

Victory over that greatest thief under the heavens?

There's no such thing.

I can make him taste bitterness, though.

He'll suffer!

Victory and bitterness?

Well, well.

Hey, what did you come here for? To joke around?

Inspector Nakamori.

This is the place Thief Kid warned he would appear.

You go on ahead with Megure and investigate the murder!

I hate to say this, Inspector Nakamori,

but I came to this villa

because Mr. Oikawa received a warning from Thief Kid.

Inspector, are the police fully prepared?

Why is Thief Kid, who only goes after jewellery, is now after a painting?

There's a rumour claiming that the notice itself was a hoax.

What do you think?

No comment!

Press people, let me warn you again to stay away from the site!

But the new painting by Mr. Oikawa called "Blue Storm"

is scheduled to be aired publicly on TV soon.

Isn't that right?

Yeah.

The painting is already completed.

And he's going to sign it on air.

That is if the painting is not stolen by Thief Kid.

What? You're talking like it's already been stolen, aren't you?

Not really...

Anyway, Thief Kid warned that he'd appear at 20:00 tonight.

Until then and until the painting is confirmed to be safe,

don't ever go inside!

Do you understand?

I've been waiting for you, Mr. Mouri.

I'm Takeyori Oikawa.

Hello.

But was it really all right

for me to bring my daughter and this boy along?

Well, if you'd rather not have us here,

Conan and I will wait in the car outside.

We have no problem on having you guys here.

I trust Detective Mouri.

Thank you very much.

And besides, this boy here seems to know that thief well.

Let me start by showing you around then.

First, I'll take you to the atelier where the "Blue Storm" is.

Come this way please.

Takeyori.

Could I have a word with you?

I'm sorry. But can it wait till later, father?

Is he your father?

Yes, he is my father-in-law,

as well as my teacher, Haruhito Kanbara.

Would it sound better if I pronounced his name as "Seijin"?

Oh, the famous landscape painter.

But ever since he hurt his hand 10 years ago,

he hasn't held the paint brush.

Please come this way, here's the room.

It's a nice atelier.

Just as would be expected of Okutama,

there is nothing but mountains outside.

There are five members from the Riot Task Force below the window.

It's difficult to break in from here.

He can also use a hand glider,

but all the windows seem to be locked.

Could this be the painting in question?

Yes, it's the "Blue Storm".

I'd like to take a quick peek at it.

No, Mr. Mouri.

I don't like people seeing my work before its completion.

But all there's left to do is for you to sign it, right?

No, I'd like to still do touch ups here and there.

I see.

But with a plaster bust here,

it sort of looks like the art room at school.

I have art class once a week here.

Is that a surveillance camera?

Yes. It was put there immediately

after we received the warning from Thief Kid.

Would you like to take a look at the images in it?

Let's go to the first floor, then.

There are two doors and there are two guards watching each door.

Moreover, they all have pinch marks on their cheeks.

I guess that means Inspector Nakamori has already checked them out.

Listen! It's only 30 minutes to 20:00, the time of the warning.

All of you, stay fully alert and guard the place!

Oh, so this is the image of that...

It definitely has a clear view of the painting in question,

but why's there only one camera?

I also heard that there was a surveillance camera here,

but I didn't think there would only be one.

I'm sorry if I didn't seem to get the correct message across.

Why aren't you letting the guards into the atelier?

I won't allow anyone in there.

It's possible they could peek at my painting like Mr. Mouri almost did.

None of my men would do anything like that.

Well, having one camera is better than nothing though.

That's right.

Could I have you turn that camera off for a little while?

Huh?

I want to check my painting, so for just about 10 minutes.

But it's less than 30 minutes to the time of the warning.

Please let me borrow this transceiver.

I'll contact you as soon as I finish checking it.

Roger.

Please go ahead inside.

-Thank you. -Takeyori.

Father.

Could I have a word with you now?

I'm going to do a final check on my painting.

I already told you that I have something in mind too, didn't I?

I'll be done right away.

So let's talk later.

Would you wait here a while for me?

He's late. He's too late.

What is he doing? It's been more than 10 minutes since he went in.

I've finished checking, Inspector.

You may turn on the surveillance camera.

-Okay, turn it on. -Yes, sir.

How is it? Is it working?

Yes. Please hurry out of that room.

Yes, sir.

I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, father.

I would like to see the famed painting that Thief Kid is after.

I heard it's a masterpiece of a set of four paintings.

A set of four paintings?

The first piece is "Red Lotus", a flower.

The second one is "Gold", that stands for moon.

The third, "Pure White" stands for a bird.

And the fourth, the one that Thief Kid is after is "Blue Storm"

and it stands for wind.

I see. Flowers, birds, wind and the moon.

I see. He's trying to express the beauty of nature with his four paintings.

I can sort of understand flower, the moon and the wind.

But how come "Pure White" stands for bird?

It's a crane bird.

It's a painting of a red-crested white crane standing in the snow.

A rich person auctioned his previous three paintings for a high price,

and it seems the same person is waiting for this fourth one, too.

-A blackout! -The breaker!

Somebody go check the breaker!

I'll go to the atelier upstairs!

-Close off all the entrances and exits! -Yes, sir.

Don't tell me it's Thief Kid?

There's still more than 10 minutes before the time of the warning.

Father, are you all right?

What is it? What's up?

Please answer me!

It blacked out and the old man is still in there.

How did he get inside the room?

He came in when I was leaving the room.

He came in saying that he can't trust the police or the detective,

so he's going to guard the painting himself.

Since he's a stubborn man,

I figured its better that I ask you, Inspector,

to persuade him to lock the door and was about to go call you

when the lights suddenly went out.

And where's the key?

I was in a rush to open the door and dropped it some place.

Darn it!

Let's break the door down.

-One, two... -One, two...

What the...

Shoots!

He escaped from the window!

What's the situation outside?

Well, a lot of paint brushes and brush stands came falling.

There was no one in sight at all.

Look! The painting's gone!

Right. It disappeared as if it were an illusion.

Father.

Get a hold of yourself.

Father!

Together with the old man's dead body

covered with blood as bright red as a lotus flower.

Father!

Thief Kid committed murder?

But Thief Kid doesn't kill, does he?

I'm not sure.

If Thief Kid did commit murder,

it's going to take a while to report, won't it?

Yes. If worse comes to worst, it may take more than a day.

Hey, you over there!

If you're free,

would you please go get me a drink from the broadcast van?

Yes, sure.

Got it.

Here he is.

Inspector Megure!

I heard that a murder's been committed, but did Thief Kid do it?

Could there have been a problem with the security measures?

No comment. No comment!

But is it true that Mr. Oikawa's new painting "Blue Storm" was stolen?

Could it be that you're assuming that Thief Kid would never kill?

I said no comment!

Can you comment on the investigation so far?

Please tell us!

Hey, just where do you think you're touching?

A knife and stun gun were used to commit the murder.

There are traces of a stun gun on his neck.

He probably realized that Mr. Kanbara was there when he was stealing.

He then used the stun gun to pass him out.

And since the culprit feared that his face was seen,

he stabbed Mr. Kanbara with the knife and killed him.

And what about the fingerprints?

Nothing was found on the stun gun,

but Mr. Oikawa's fingerprints were found on the handle of the knife.

Then don't tell me that he...

No.

It would've been impossible for him

to find someone the in the dark without any light source

and kill him in such a short time.

He said he heard Mr. Kanbara groaning and coincidentally found him.

He then carried Mr. Kanbara and seemed to have touched the knife then.

That's the reason why his fingerprints were detected on the knife.

The culprit escaped after kicking the paint brush stands out of the window

when I came into the room after breaking the door down.

Which means that the culprit was in the room from before the blackout?

Yeah, he was probably hiding in the attic or something

and as soon as the lights went out,

he probably came out of that air conditioner and snuck in.

How did he black the place out?

A timer was probably set

so that appliances that eat a lot of electricity all turned on at once,

causing the fuse to blow.

Maybe if we checked more carefully,

we could've found it beforehand.

But Mr. Oikawa received the warning only yesterday morning,

and we received the report last night.

Which means, the warning was sent out

after everything had been prepared.

And? Did you see the culprit escape from the window?

No. In preparation for intruders from outside,

I ordered the lights shining on the window to be subdued.

Since it was too bright,

it would be like telling the thief where the painting is.

The only thing we got is the two paint brush stands

and a huge number of paint brushes that came falling

when the culprit escaped from the window.

Okay, Megure. You can take things from here.

Look through the images in the surveillance camera

and arrest the culprit, will you?

Hey, hey. The one who did it is Thief Kid, isn't it?

You're in charge of this case, aren't you?

This case isn't connected to Thief Kid.

He never takes a person's life.

Inspector Megure.

The video images from the atelier's surveillance camera

are ready to be played.

This is an hour before the incident.

This is right after Mr. Oikawa checked his painting.

And this is the image right after when the lights are turned back on.

I can see that the images are cut off before and after the blackout,

but why is there a cut before and after he checked the painting?

I asked them to turn the camera off.

If anyone sees the painting before it's completed,

all the feelings I put into it would vanish.

I've been doing so from long ago.

According to Inspector Nakamori's story,

after you finished checking your painting, Mr. Kanbara came into the room.

Yes.

He said that he couldn't trust the police or detective

and insisted that he'd guard the painting himself.

Father is a very stubborn person

and it didn't seem like I could persuade him,

so I thought I'd have Inspector Nakamori convince him.

For the sake of my father's safety, I locked the door

and went to call Inspector Nakamori when there was a sudden blackout.

Since father didn't answer,

I rushed to open the door,

but I mistakenly dropped the key

and couldn't find it right away.

I see.

So that's why Inspector Nakamori decided to break the door open.

-But isn't it strange? -Huh?

Because after you finished checking your painting,

you're talking on the transceiver.

Although your voice can't be heard,

you asked Inspector Nakamori to turn the surveillance camera back on

since you finished checking your painting, right?

Yes.

If Mr. Kanbara came in at that time,

all you had to do was use the transceiver

to ask Inspector Nakamori to come, right?

Well, father snatched the transceiver away from me,

saying that he didn't want to be interrupted by anyone.

It seems that the transceiver

was found in Mr. Kanbara's pocket a while later.

Yeah.

But can't we think of it this way?

When it blacked out, Mr. Kanbara decided to protect the painting

by hiding it at some place.

An atelier probably has many shelves where the canvas can be put away.

That can't be.

Before I checked the painting,

I closed all the doors of the canvas shelves and locked them.

If Thief Kid broke in, he would have less places to hide the painting.

And where is that key?

It is with the atelier keys that I lost during the blackout.

It was found later in the corner of the corridor

and is with the forensic officer now.

Could someone take advantage of the blackout and snuck into the atelier?

It can't be.

Just before the blackout, the Riot Task Force who was guarding the room

have checked to see that the two doors were locked.

But Thief Kid can open locks easily.

The Riot Task Force members were by told Inspector Nakamori,

that in case the lights should go out,

grab the door knob and not let go.

In other words, someone who was hiding in the attic

came down to the atelier when the blackout occured.

He killed Mr. Kanbara who was in the room,

took the painting and escaped.

This seems to be immovable fact.

But I wonder if it's really the Thief Kid?

It's hard to conclude just yet.

After all, there are no cases in which he committed murder in the past.

But something could've got into him this time.

You sure have a cold attitude towards Thief Kid, don't you?

Of course!

The Thief Kid is the enemy of the police!

Officer Sato, do you have any reason for wanting to back Thief Kid up?

So what if I have my reasons?

How could you tell whether it was Thief Kid or not by looking at the note?

Because of the drawing on the warning note.

He always draws a new one for each notice.

If someone were to copy one of them from a newspaper or from TV,

they would be caught instantly.

However, according to the 2nd section that Inspector Nakamori belongs to,

the drawing this time didn't fall into either category

and was exactly like his drawings despite being drawn with new lines,

and they deemed it to be genuine.

Then somebody who's a good drawer could be copying Thief Kid.

Like a comic drawer or an illustrator.

Or even a painter.

Hey, Conan!

I was just stating examples.

Well, I can't draw cartoon-like drawings like he does though.

From the view point of a professional painter,

I think that the drawing is genuine.

I think so, too!

Thief Kid is to blame.

He's a villain after all!

Please share your wisdom with us to catch the villain then.

My telephone's ringing.

This one's ringing.

You have two cell phones? Why is that?

Yes, I have one for work and one for private use.

One of the phones seems to have blood on it.

Right after I carried father who was covered with blood,

I called my relatives to tell them of what happened using this cell phone.

So I guess that's when the blood rubbed off.

Yes, it's me.

I'm sort of busy now, so can you call me later?

I'm sorry, but may I go change clothes?

I'd like to get out of these clothes with my father's blood smeared on.

Please go through a body check first then.

Inspector Nakamori already did a very thorough body check on me.

I've come to get the truth.

Thief Kid?

"Fragile equipment inside. Do not open."

Hey, come here a second.

Do you have any idea what's in this bag?

Just leave it as is!

You'll get yelled at if you touch it without permission.

Hey, sonny!

May I have a word with you?

What is it?

I've been wondering from some time ago,

but your back pocket...

Huh?

There seems to be something inside.

-That's... -What?

Look, it's a card!

Thief Kid!

You've made a great discovery, sonny!

I'm sure that Thief Kid put them inside

some time before the incident occurred.

Yeah. I've got to tell the Inspector right away!

So it was Thief Kid after all!

Is that what you want me to say?

Huh?

Just as I thought.

He figured a child would be excited about anything that involved Thief Kid.

So that's why he invited me here.

But if he got these cards ready,

he would've left them behind at the scene of the murder.

This means it's genuine and he only just found it.

Inspector Nakamori who did the body check wouldn't have overlooked this.

In other words, the one who put these cards in Mr. Oikawa's clothes

must be someone who came here after the body check was done.

I'll rip off your snobbish mask today for sure, Thief Kid!

Under the golden light of this full moon.

Next Conan's Hint:

"Something that is there even if you think it's not"

I wonder if Kid's really here?

I know that at least one kid is here.

And that kid is me.
