0 Detective Conan Episode 693: The Night Cherry Blossom Route on Sumida River (P2)

Episode 693: The Night Cherry Blossom Route on Sumida River (Part 2)

Scenario: The next day, Ran and Conan arrived at Nishizawa's apartment and found Nishizawa drowned to death in the bathroom. At the Sumida river, people were amazed that there's lot of money floating in the water.

When Ran was about go to near the dead body, Conan told her to wait and take a look. The water accumulated to the very top, yet there are no splashes, or droplets of water surrounding the tub. Nishizawa sank into the tub and it's probably been about 5-6 hours since he died. After Conan tells Ran to call the police, he goes and takes a closer look. He found an empty bottle of sleeping pills and more importantly, he found the flower petal in the middle of the water. The shape is similar to cherry blossom petal but the colors different. Suddenly, Sato and Takagi arrived so Sato told Takagi to contact the police headquarters. When Conan asked Sato why is she here, she answers a motorboat from Heikyū river that was registered was stolen, turned up Nishizawa's fingerprints. Later, Conan went into another room and found some books on the desk.

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Megure tells Kogoro that Nishizawa committed suicide. From the boat involved with the crime, they found his fingerprints. Then they also found the note on his computer. The estimated time of death was about 01:00. He drank lots of sleeping pills and then drowned. Without the doubt, then it's suicide. According to the suicide note, it says, "I was after money, but did not plan this. You, Kogoro Mouri, the one who said I stalked my true love. When it was taken to the police, my boss fired me. I was humiliated by the Great Detective. Of course I couldn't deal with that. Then there was the restraining order. I'm not going to deal with the ridicule anymore. So that means I take my life." Well, even though Megure can't officially confirm it. When Megure is about to leave the agency, Kogoro asks him that did the police found the missing money, but actually, they didn't find it yet. After Megure leaves, Kogoro starts laughing because since the money hasn't been found yet, the case hasn't been solved completely. He stands up and declares himself that he will solve the case.

Kogoro visits to a "New Image" engineer named Atsushi Tanaka and starts questioning him. Tanaka says that he doesn't know Nishizawa but Kogoro heard that he was good friends with him. Kogoro asks Tanaka about his alibi at 01:00 but Tanaka got confused that the case was supposed to be a suicide but Kogoro is not sure about it and he suspects Tanaka tries to crush Ishida's HR, but the answer will come out eventually. Tanaka doesn't doubt Ishida suspected something. He reveals that Ishida was blackmailing Nishizawa. When Tanaka was taking a walk, he heard Ishida and Nishizawa arguing. Nishizawa accuses Ishida that he doesn't treat the employees right. If Ishida is going to fire Nishizawa, Ishida better put out severance pay. He was going to expose his fraud. He doesn't want to but he will destroy Ishida's company. That's motive enough for Ishida. At 01:00 of Tanaka's alibi, he was talking on the phone with someone.

Next, Kogoro visits to Ishida, the "New Image" president, for asking his alibi at 01:00 and Ishida says that he was sleeping. He doesn't have much in the way of the proof, given that he's a bachelor. Before Kogoro takes his leave to Nishizawa's funeral, Ishida mentions that Tanaka doubts it was Nishizawa. He liked to gamble with Nishizawa so he carried a significant amount of debt. Ishida once came to consult him. He wanted too big of an advance, Ishida couldn't pay him that much.

Meanwhile, Conan looks around the area where some few spots have surveillance cameras on. Next he sees the Toyusu canal. The route where you can see Toyusu canal has no surveillance camera so the criminal took the area where he can't be seen and if someone stop the boat at the pier so if he left from Yokogawa, the briefcase could be retrieved. Conan notice an old man who's a fisherman so he went to him and asks if he could give him a ride. While Conan and the old man are on the boat, they're going to Sendaiborigawa. Conan just took a stop at the area where Nishizawa's apartment is but he doesn't see any yellow flowers. He went back to the old man and asks about any flowers similar to cherry blossom but yellow in color. The old man says he know about ukon sakura. You can find them later on when they bloom at the Somei-Yoshino trees.

At the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters, Megure receives a call from Kogoro saying that he knows who the real culprit is meaning that Nishizawa did not kill himself. He said he's going to reveal his deduction tonight at 17:00 in the president's office of "New Image" company. He requests Megure to call Tanaka to be there. Suddenly, Sato receives a call about in Sumida river, there are lots of ten thousand yen bills floating in the water.

At the Sumida river, people were amazed that there's lot of money floating in the water. Probably money from yesterday. Apparently, an empty briefcase was found.

Kogoro still has a terrible cold but Ran can't let him go to the president's office of "New Image" company. His temperature says 40 degrees celsius which is impossible for him to go to work. His deduction shows starts at 17:00. After Conan mentions about the money floating on the water in Sumida river, Kogoro turned blue and got shocked hearing it. Since Kogoro can't go, Conan has an idea. He can just make a shooting of Kogoro's deduction with the video camera so the others will watch it at the "New Image" company.

Episode 692: The Night Cherry Blossom Route on Sumida River (Part 1)

Scenario: The next day, Ran and Conan arrived at Nishizawa's apartment and found Nishizawa drowned to death in the bathroom. At the Sumida river, people were amazed that there's lot of money floating in the water.

Kogoro receives a call from an unknown person to follow instructions for delivering the ransom money. The unknown caller wants Kogoro to go to the Nihonboshi Post Office. When he enters, he receives the briefcase and opens it. It has a microphone, a transceiver, and a note.

Specializing in the import and sales of the American cars, employees of the company called "New Image", were victims of attempted murder and were seriously injured.

The president of "New Image" named Gen Ishida received a threatening phone call from the unknown criminal. The criminal wants 24 million yen for ransom.

Back in the present time, Kogoro is putting 24 million yen into the brief case from his paper bag. While Conan is watching Kogoro, Sato saw Conan and she told him not to bother Kogoro's work. Takagi came and pretends saying hi to Sato so they wouldn’t act suspicious. Kogoro crumbles up the note, throws away in the trash can, and leaves the post office. Sato and Takagi begin to follow him. Conan checks inside the trash can to see what it says on the note. The note says: "There's money in the attaché case. The transceiver is to contact a disposable mobile phone. Out at the foot of Nihonbashi, on the Hanami boat cruise at 17:45. The microphone for communication with the police is discarded."

Takagi and Sato are getting in the car and they were informed that the "M" is moving northward on the central sheet. The "M" is referred to be Kogoro. Before they were about to drive, Conan gave the criminal’s note to Sato and after that, the car went on.

Kogoro arrives at the pier in Nihonbashi and gets on the boat. The boat's motor starts and Chiba reports that "M" has departed on the ship.

At the pier, Conan asks the man of where the Hanami cruise ship is going and the man answers it's going to Sumida river, then onto Daiyokou. So the man gave the pamphlet to Conan for more information.

In the flashback at the Mouri Detective Agency. Kogoro will be the one who will deliver the ransom to the unknown criminal instead of the New Image president. So when he asks Megure about how could he be appointed to deliver cash, Megure said he doesn't know so the police will have to withdraw at anytime. There's no next life if Kogoro ignores the request. The request was for 24 million yen but Ishida wasn't able to deliver it at first so he asks Kogoro to deliver it for him for the sake of the New Image employees.

Back in the present on the cruise ship, the people are enjoying the ride while the captain announces that in ten minutes arriving at Sumida river, the waves will get little rougher so he tells the passengers to be careful.

Conan is on the skateboard following the boat. The radio transceiver reaches 100m at best, so the criminal's got to be within range.

Megure asks Sato where she is and Sato's at the Eitaibashi bridge. So Megure tells Sato to contact the company, the cruise ship is set to transfer onto the Daiyokou river from Sumida river. So Megure tells her to keep moving towards the Daiyokou river.

At nighttime, the people on the cruise ship are still having a great time. The criminal calls Kogoro and he says the boat is passing through the sluice by Oshima river and Daiyokou river. The criminal tells Kogoro to put the briefcase of 24 million yen on top of the roof of the boat. After that, Kogoro will wait for the next call.

Conan is now on the bridge where he can see Kogoro putting the briefcase on top of the roof of the boat. Kogoro got annoyed when he saw Conan smiling. The crew told Kogoro to get down because the bridge is coming.

Conan is still following the boat until he finds the criminal. After the boat goes through under the bridges, the briefcase went missing on top of the boat. When Conan calls Kogoro about it, Kogoro checks it, accidentally slips off the boat, and splashes into the water. Conan wonders how did the culprit get the briefcase?

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Kogoro has a terrible cold who always sneezes because he accidentally fell into the river. Right now, he is having a conversation with the police about the missing briefcase. At the start, Kogoro did listen to what the culprit said. He did put the briefcase on top of the boat when he passed onto the Daiyokou river. There was no indication that the criminal has taken it. Kogoro was told to sit down and wait for the instructions to come. Where Conan and Sato saw the briefcase last is at the Shiomibashi river. Where the briefcase was missing is at the Hamazona bridge. The culprit should've been somewhere from Heikyū bridge to Hamazona bridge. That's where the briefcase was taken. When Megure asks Kogoro that did he notice anything, Kogoro says he remember that he heard a metal bump sound. It was a normal bridge but there were two boats parked underneath. The captain swayed to the right in order to not hit the passengers. When they passed under the bridge, the captain and Kogoro heard the bump sound. It's probably at Shigure bridge. When Takagi and Sato were watching from Shiomibashi bridge, they never saw any boat under Heikyū bridge. Ishihama bridge had a sluice ahead of it, as Shigure bridge is right behind it. "Normal small bridge", that impression is curious. The next one is Hamazono bridge, so there's no doubt that it was at Shigure bridge when you heard the sound. All of a sudden, Takagi came and reports that he found the briefcase near the river at Heikyū bridge. When Takagi opens it, it was empty but Conan also notice something strange. The cloth in the case is torn. Furthermore, the interior shows some evidence of there being some sort of gimmick. Conan knocks out Kogoro and starts deducing. The modus operandi for taking the brief case has been revealed. The culprit could've used a powerful magnet. The Daiyokou river's water level rises and falls as the tide changes. The distance to the bridge will be fairly short lengthwise in advance, the culprit probably knew the tide levels, so the culprit attached a powerful magnet to grab hold of the top lid of the briefcase. When the cruise ship rode underneath, the briefcase's attach. The culprit made sure the magnetic force worked only when it was convenient to do so. They employed an electromagnet. When a conductive electromagnetic coil is wound around a metal body, a magnetic force will be generated when an electric current runs through said coil. The culprit probably attached it within the lid most likely running the coil around a battery core. To enable the operation from afar, they likely had a remote switch. He then recovered it under the cover of night when nobody was around. After Megure, Takagi, and Sato finished listening to the deduction, they are going to take a fresher look at the surroundings of Daiyokou river and Heikyū. After they left, Kogoro sleeps with the blanket covered. Conan still wonders what's the reason as to why the culprit would've want Kogoro. Conan asks Ran about that he could see what's left in Kogoro's case material. Ran checks it out in his files. It could be possible that the criminal has a grudge against Kogoro. While Ran is getting some books, she frowns. When Conan asks her what's wrong, Ran said it's nothing and mentions that in these times Shinichi would've been able to solve this case with her. Conan then tells Ran that they will solve it together. So now, Conan and Ran starts investigating and researching through Kogoro's case files something that involves "New Image". Hours later, Ran found something. Satoshi Nishizawa, 32 years old, employee of the imported cars sales, "New Image", mechanic engineer. There is a request from his client, Kaori Yoda. There was a consultation to track down the stalker, who ended up being Nishizawa. The woman filed a restraining order from the court, disallowing him to come close. He was laid off from the company. It was two months before the incident. His address is East District Fukagawa and the Daiyokou river isn't near there.

The next day, Ran and Conan arrived at Nishizawa's apartment. Ran rings the door bell but no one's answering. Conan checks the door knob and realizes that it's open so they decided to go inside. When they went to the bathroom, they found Nishizawa drowned to death.

Episode 690: Yusaku Kudo's Unsolved Case (Part 1)

Scenario: Ran, Sonoko, and Sera find the body of a man in an alleyway with the kanji symbol for "death" written in blood next to it. Ran is reminded of a similar case that happened 10 years ago and heads over to the Kudo residence to look for the case file in the library. Shinichi remembers the case as the one his father walked away from claiming that the murderer would never reappear. Subaru joins the girls and Conan in their deductions.

The case begins with a memory from the past, in which Shinichi's father, Yusaku Kudo, is shown telling Inspector Megure and Kogoro Mouri (who was a police officer at the time) that there is no need to worry about serial murder despite the ominous "death" character written next to the victim's body.

Ran, Sonoko, and Masumi are discussing the case abandoned by Yusaku Kudo when they come across people crowded around a dead body. The "death" character was written facing the body, indicating a possible murder. At Shinichi's house, Conan, Ran, Sonoko, Masumi, and Subaru inspect the photo from the case in the past; when the "death" characters in both cases are found to be similar, they are left wondering how Yusaku Kudo could have determined that the case was not a murder.

Episode 689: Messages From the Client

Scenario: 3 months ago, 24-year-old Kaoru Sasamori, who hired Kogoro to investigate her boyfriend, fell down the stairs and died. At her funeral, Kaoru's brother accused her boyfriend Tsuge of pushing her down the stairs. In present day, Kogoro is summoned by Tsuge with the message, "Come and I'll tell you about her murderer". Kaoru's brother, her best friend Kazumi, and Tsuge's manager all show up at the same time. They find Tsuge bludgeoned to death in his workshop. Sleeping Kogoro explains that Tsuge was about to reveal Kazumi as the murderer through his shadow art. Kazumi, in love with Tsuge, killed Kaoru in hopes of being with him. She believed he was going to announce their relationship when she was summoned, but he instead told her to turn herself in. Blinded by rage, she kills him, but can't bring herself to destroy the incriminating sculpture as it was the only proof that Tsuge spent the last 3 months thinking about her.

On a rainy night, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are riding in their rental car talking about the person who requested Kogoro to investigate if her boyfriend who was cheating passed away. The person's name is Kaoru Sasamori and she fell down a flight of stone stairways. It happened three months ago when four people were at the funeral of Kaoru Sasamori. The four people were Takashi Sasamori (Kaoru's older brother), Hikari Tsuge (Kaoru's ex-lover), Mariko Noguchi (Tsuge's manager), and Kazumi Ishikura (Kaoru's friend). It started when Takashi angrily accused Tsuge to be the murderer who pushed Kaoru down the stairs, claiming that he saw him do it. Tsuge denied every word what Takashi said, he claiming that he did not kill Kaoru. Noguchi tried to stop the argument, saying that he police already investigated and determined that it was a misunderstanding. Back in the present, Kogoro is going to Tsuge's house because this morning, Tsuge contacted to Kogoro saying that he would reveal who really killed Kaoru.

On the next stop, when Kogoro talks to the officer, the officer said there was a landslide ahead and the right road is inaccessible. They were going to Tsuge's house so they took the left road. Tsuge had also invited the three other people that made a commotion at the funeral. When Kogoro arrives at Tsuge's house, Takashi and Noguchi also were there with their own umbrellas so they won't get wet. The door's unlocked, and Tsuge isn't there to greet them, so Noguchi enters the house to look for Tsuge. Ran notices Kazumi coming from her car without an umbrella. Kazumi says she forgot to bring one, so Ran helps her under own umbrella. While Conan is checking Kazumi's car, he hears a scream. When the group goes inside the house, they find Tsuge dead in a pool of blood.

Tsuge lies in his workshop, dead in a large pool of blood. Kogoro checks his wrist and confirms that he's dead so he tells Ran to call the police. He also orders the rest of the people to leave the crime scene. Before they're about to leave, Noguchi requests Kogoro to make sure no one touches Tsuge's art piece. Kogoro understands it so he will inform the police about it. While Conan is investigating, he notices three pieces of tape on the floor. There's no dust on the tape, meaning something on it recently. He also notices the screen and the art piece on the table. The art piece has a label with the word, "Demurrer."

While the police investigates the crime scene, Takagi confirms that the victim is Hikari Tsuge. His real name is "Ritsu Hikage" and he's 33 years old. His profession was a sculptor and Hikari Tsuge is an anagram from Ritsu Hikage. The cause of death was intracranial injury from a blow to the back of the head. What may seem to be the murder weapon, the hammer, was on the ground nearby, but the fingerprints have been wiped clean.

Megure begins the conversation with the three people. Everyone was invited to Tsuge's house by the victim so he can tell them who the culprit is from three months ago. When they all arrived, Tsuge wasn't breathing anymore and the culprit had already left. According to the officer from the checkpoint, nobody else came dow the atelier's path. To begin with, excluding U-turns, only four cars drove up the slope: the four cars belonging to Kogoro, Takashi, Noguchi, and Kazumi. Which means the culprit could be among them.

Going to Tsuge's house, there's only one path and ahead there's a checkpoint. In the rain, going down the dark slopes is risky. This would be truly called a closed circle. The ones who got to Tsuge's first house were Ran, Conan and Kogoro. Everyone else came afterwards. Takashi was leading, behind Takashi was Kazumi, and lastly Noguchi. They all went inside together and found the corpse.

Back at the checkpoint, when Kogoro, Ran, and Conan were heading toward the atelier, what the officer said, "You guys, too?" meaning there was someone was ahead of them and went to the atelier. They could ask the officer about the type of car or driver. About that, he remembers they were four cars, but not the type of car or the driver.

In other words, if they can organize the story, this is how it went down: From the beginning, there was only one car at the atelier: Tsuge's car. Then, Kogoro's group arrived, next were the other three cars, ,aking the total four cars. However, according to the policeman, there was a car in front of Kogoro. This likely means that the culprit's car arrived first, murdered Tsuge, left the atelier and hid elsewhere. He waited until everyone else came, then appeared as if nothing had happened.

Kogoro deduces that the culprit's motive is to silence him. From Tsuge, three months ago, the culprit heard that he will reveal who the murderer is, so the culprit came to Tsuge's house as soon as possible and murdered Tsuge. In other words, this case's murderer may be the same one who murdered Kaoru Sasamori. The three suspects are Takashi, Noguchi, and Kazumi.

Takashi claims that he's not the culprit. That day, he made a promise to his sister to have a meal, but the photo shoot he was holding got prolonged and he was a bit late. When he went to the meeting place, he saw Kaoru falling down the stairs and went to her side.

Kaoru had fallen down the stairs. When Takashi rushed to her aid, Kaoru says that someone one was behind her. Takeshi realizes that she must have been pushed.

He was certain that he saw Tsuge who was on top of the stone stairs, so he was convinced that Tsuge was the culprit. Kazumi mentions that Kaoru told her about Takashi and Kaoru not getting along because they were disputing over their parent's inheritance money.

Kazumi suspects Takashi is the one who pushed Kaoru down the stairs. Noguchi explains Tsuge had another woman other than Kaoru he was seeing, and Kaoru hired Kogoro to find out who. The other woman was who is none other than Kazumi Ishikura. Kazumi claims that she didn't know that Tsuge was going out with Kaoru. She found out when received a message on her phone from Kaoru: "I was proposed to by Tsuge! What should I do?" Kazumi confronted Tsuge about it, getting into a big argument with him about breaking up with Kaoru. Takashi then reveals that Kaoru told him that Noguchi was trying to pay her to break up with Tsuge, but she had refused the payment. Fed up that Tsuge wasn't working, Noguchi's clients began to look for different artists. If that happens, she'll have to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract.

Conan asks Takagi if he could take him to see if there are any possible hiding spots for a car between the atelier and the checkpoint. Conan gets out by a cabin on the pass, and finds something that the culprit took away from the crime scene.

0 Detective Conan Episode 688: Detective Takagi Picked Up 30 Million Yen

Episode 688: Detective Takagi Picked Up 30 Million Yen

Scenario: During his morning jog, Takagi comes upon a gym bag filled with 30 million yen. The owner of the bag, an organic grocery store manager, claims that he dropped it the previous night. When the newspaper man tells Conan that the bag wasn't there earlier that morning, he suspects that the grocer placed the bag for someone specific. Takagi questions the woman who was with him when he found the bag, but she doesn't know the grocer. The woman's partner then runs after Takagi thinking he was questioning her about a murder-robbery case that occurred 15 years ago. Ironically, the grocer was a suspect in that case, but had a solid alibi being hospitalized at the time of the crime. Sleeping Kogoro reveals that the grocer was indeed the robber who murdered the woman's first husband and that he had lent his health insurance card to his friend who was hospitalized under his name. The grocer later met his wife who inspired him to straighten his life. When his wife died, the grocer decided to give all his earnings to the woman and turn himself in. As he was about to approach the woman at the cemetery, he overhears her and her partner talk about finally moving on. The grocer didn't want to reopen old wounds. Takagi brings him in as the woman refuses the money and tells him to use it for a fresh start.

At 6:00 AM in morning time, Detective Takagi had breakfast at Janothon's and begins to go jogging for exercising. While jogging, he met the part-timer named Hideko Sasamoto and says good morning to her. When he went ahead of her, Takagi found the bag and when he opens it, he found thirty million yen inside. Sasamoto thinks Takagi is a burglar but he tells her it's not what it looks like. At the police station, the officer confirms it's thirty million yen and it hasn't been reported about the lost and found items. When Sasamoto learns that Takagi is a police detective, she started apologizing to him for thinking that Takagi's a burglar.

Later, Takagi starts questioning the old lady. The old lady happens to know a few people with the brown bag but Takagi is not familiar in the neighborhood where he is so the old lady is going to ask someone else. After that, Conan and the Detective Boys went to Takagi and they heard that he found thirty million yen so they decided to help Takagi to look for the person who lost it. Takagi told the Detective Boys that he found the bag in 6 AM so he's off duty today and he ran back from a friend's place from last night. Then he met the part-timer, Sasamoto, so he was jogging alongside with her. Finally he found the bag on the street (where they currently are). All of a sudden, Kogoro appears with the unhappy face saying that he dropped a lot of money so he requests Takagi to lend him a hand. Takagi's cellphone rings and he answers it. The officer told Takagi that someone who lost the bag of thirty million yen came forward.

At the police station, the man who works as a management of natural food stores named Toshiyuki Hiranuma claims that he's the person who lost the bag of thirty million yen. Apparently, his wife Mie dropped it and she seems to be ill recently. The thirty million yen is said to be insurance money. When Takagi asks Hiranuma why did he dropped the money, he said it's a shameful story. He went home being drunk, and he realized he had no bag with him when he woke up. The police are going to return the money to Hiranuma eventually. Before Hiranuma takes his leave, Conan notices that there's white paint on his back and dirt on his shoes.

At 9:32 AM, Takagi, Conan, and the Detective Boys are sitting on the stairs of the playground. Suddenly, the old lady that Takagi met this morning came and he brought the newspaperman who knows about the brown bag. He said at 5 AM, he was delivering newspapers, and he saw it.

At the area where Takagi found the bag, Conan went inside the abandoned place. While looking, Conan found Hiranuma's footprints and the debris from the paint which that explains why Hiranuma has dirty shoes. The paint adhered to Hiranuma's back. This means Hiranuma was inside the abandoned place right before Takagi jogs to the area where he found the bag. Before Detective Takagi came, he placed the bag in the middle of the street. Even if it's early in the morning, after the newspaperman passed by and before Detective Takagi came, during that one hour time frame, nobody coming to the street is unthinkable. If the bag was placed on the street just before Takagi came, when he found the bag, he should've seen Hiranuma. In other words, at that time, until someone would find the bag, Hiranuma calculated the time, placed the bag in the middle of the street, and from the deserted shop, he was watching. Takagi figured it was for Sasamoto. Passing the street was a coincidence for Takagi, but Sasamoto said that every morning, she jogs by passing the street. This means Hiranuma wanted Sasamoto to find the thirty million yen.

The group went to the supermarket to meet Hideko and after she learns that the money will be returned to its owner, she is happy to hear it. When Takagi asks Hideko about Hiranuma, she has no clue who he is. The group exit the supermarket and Hideko's boss named Kunitaro Oba came to Takagi by asking him was the culprit found. He was talking about the murder case of Hideko Sasamoto's husband. The culprit hasn't been caught and last month on the 30th, 15 years have passed. If it was from before, the statute of limitations will be up. As Takagi just saw Hideko's become cheerful; but at the time, Oba never saw her smile and she was always depressed. The truth is, Oba wanted to marry Hideko. Oba's proposal was rejected at first. Hideko said, "For me to be happy while you're gone is unfortunate." It sounds so strange. Recently, she started thinking about her own happiness, and last month, Hideko and Oba went to Hideko's husband's grave to ask for a request. Oba asked the deceased to let his wife go, but it's quite complicated. When Oba thinks about the culprit reappearing again, he wonders if Hideko will suffer the hatred. After the conversation, Oba went back to work in the supermarket.

At 11:35 AM at the playground, Takagi is going to explain the murder case that happened in 15 years ago. The case occurred 15 years ago at night in a multi-tenant building of an office on the 4th floor. He probably feared the security cameras. He climbed the adjacent building's drain pipe up four floors and entered the office via the veranda. Working overtime alone, Akio Sasamoto (Hideko's husband) was murdered and the 5 million yen cash was stolen.

However, the culprit's sneaker left a footprint at the scene. From the sneaker, a list of customers was made and a thorough investigation was carried out. Among the list of customers, Hiranuma's name was also in it. Conan sees that and to atone for that case, he tried to give 30 million yen to the victim's family of Sasamoto. He would have her find it, he, the owner, won't claim it, and in six months, the money would be hers. Hiranuma could be the culprit but he isn't actually. For Hiranuma, the crime was impossible to commit. When the investigator Tadayoshi Uno and a younger officer visited him, Hiranuma's leg was fractured. When they confirmed it with the hospital he went to, the broken leg was covered in cast three days before the incident. With a broken leg, you can't climb up to the 4th floor and with a cast, you can't wear sneakers either. The case from 15 years ago and Hiranuma's 30 million yen aren't related after all. Conan made a fake call from Kogoro for telling Takagi to look into something to check if at that time there was anyone near Hiranuma that broke their leg or not and telling the Detective Boys to get good information about Hiranuma. Conan with the Detective Boys and Takagi split up to start the investigation.

A little while later, the Detective Boys went back together at the shop that was closed a month ago. At that time it seems his wife, who had been sick for a long time, passed away. Hiranuma seems very honest and nice. Only, recently there's one thing that's strange, even though he said, "I'm going to travel for a while," and left the house, in the end, he returned home that same day, it seems. This was about one week ago.

At the dry cleaners, the man named Morita says that it was at the end of last month on the 30th. When he thinks about it, the night before, Hiranuma said something oddly strange. He said, "From a long time ago, I decided to do that, but when the time comes, I get scared. I'm such a pathetic guy." Afterward, he said, "money can't atone for it," repeatedly. And so, on the next day in the morning, Morita saw Hiranuma carrying the bag and wonder if he's going to the hot spring. Hiranuma wasn't going to the hot spring but he's going somewhere far for a bit. Then he told Morita to take care fo himself and takes his leave. Morita kind of felt like he was saying his last goodbye. Even so, that evening he said he couldn't go on vacation and came home. After Morita finishes his testimony, Mitsuhiko wonders what does this means.

At the shop, the man named Kanzaki is having a beer and Takagi came by to have kake soba. Kanzaki claims that he lost his footing on the stairs and crack went his right leg. When Conan asks him about that he didn't have health insurance card, Kanzaki asks back of what's Conan saying all of sudden.

Episode 687: The Unsolvable Ice Trap

Scenario: Professor Agasa take the Detective Boys to visit an ice village. The mayor and his secretary boast about cancelling the winter festival to build a resort to bring in more income. The group stays overnight in the ice hotel. The next morning, the mayor staying in another part of the ice hotel is found strangulated in his bed. Professor Agasa reveals the culprit to be the ice sculptor using an ice melting trick to murder the mayor without leaving any evidence behind. The sculptor explains that he overheard the mayor and his secretary talk about murdering the previous mayor who suspected their embezzling the city's finances.

At the Ice Festival in Yamakawa Village, Conan, Haibara, Professor Agasa, and the Detective Boys are having a great time together. While in the festival, they meet the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Ice Festival named Mika Itakura. Her father, the former village head, was Agasa's old friend but unfortunately, he died in a car accident last year. While the detective boys and the others are walking together, they meet the ice engraver named Tetsuya Shiota who made an awesome ice sculptures. The Detective Boys are really impressed at him when he built an ice sculpture of a bear while using a chain saw. The people in the village also made an awesome work of the ice festival. Until sudden, the village head named Tarou Yamaguchi and the secretary named Kazuyuki Ogi appear and they both say that they are going to remove the ice sculptures so the hotels are going to be built soon. Yamaguchi has already signed the contract which make Mika and Shiota disappointed. Suddenly, the main gate collapses which makes Yamaguchi decide to cancel the festival but Mika and Shiota along with the other villagers insist on rebuilding it.

Later at night, Shiota and Mika are taking the group to the Ice Hotel so they could sleep. In order to liven the festival up, Shiota suggested the idea of building the Ice Hotel. The village does have financial difficulties. Therefore, the chief is trying to attract people to Resort Toto. However, the village still can't attract much attention. The ice hotel they made then caught the eye of the chief. He negotiated and it shows an interest beyond. The ice hotel is made for the festival, but it’s been reversed now, so they’re forced to close it down. When they arrive, they see the beautiful view of the ice hotel. While walking around it, they witness Ogi being kicked out by Yamaguchi while he’s telling his secretary that he’s useless. He then throws the papers at him and closes the door. Ogi picks up the papers and flees after insulting the village head and noticing the others looking at him.

Inside the ice cabin, the Detective Boys are enjoying lying down on the fluffy beds. Mika wishes them good night and closes the door. At 4:06 AM, Mitsuhiko comes out of the restroom and sees something that scares him. He goes back into the ice cabin trembling about what he saw.

The next morning, when Ogi come inside Yamaguchi's ice house, he screams and Yamaguchi is found dead with strangle marks on his throat. Conan tells Haibara to call the police immediately.

Ogi finds the corpse in a sleeping bag with strangle marks on his throat. The police arrive at the Ice Hotel and investigate the crime scene. The police inspector from Niigata Prefecture, Akira Haraguchi, confirms that the cause of death was the suffocation by the compression of the airway. The estimated time of death is around 2 AM. Since the strangulation is not at the back of the neck, the culprit imposed a fine string-like weapon on the top of the sleeping bag which was burned around the neck.

Afterwards, Inspector Haraguchi is questioning Mika. She was at the festival repairing the main gate with Shiota, who left the workplace at 12 and 4 AM, each for 10 minutes. Conan mentions that it seems like the entrance to the Yamaguchi’s ice house needs a key and wonders how the culprit would even get in. Haraguchi suggests that there can be many key duplicates, but Mika confirms that Ogi is the only one with duplicates. He then nervously claims that he is responsible for waking Yamaguchi up in the morning. Ogi actually doesn't have an alibi, as he was working alone on some documents at his office during the time of the crime.

While Conan walks alone at the side of the big ice house, he notices a small hole. He looks through it and sees two crime scene investigators working around the bed. The Detective Boys run to Conan but Ayumi accidentally slips. The reason why the ice floor is slippery is because ice melts when pressure is applied. While Conan is explaining that fact, an idea occurs to him. Mitsuhiko comes and adds that he saw the chief's ghost last night, which makes Conan finally figures out who the culprit is after hearing Mitsuhiko’s strange testimony.

0 Detective Conan Episode 686: The Car Carrying A Time Bomb

Episode 686: The Car Carrying A Time Bomb

Scenario: A bomb detonates and kills an unknown man. On the other side of town, Ayumi's neighbour Mao runs to the Detective Boys for help with her runaway dog, Candy. While searching one of the nearby delivery trucks, they bump into Takagi and Chiba working a serial bombing case. The police locate the last bomb in a delivery truck, but it is then hijacked by two robbers. Candy happens to be in that truck. The police leak fake checkpoints and corner the robbers. Conan manages to jump into the truck and convince the robbers to drive somewhere open to throw out the bomb saving everyone.

The delivery truck left the house and there was an explosion inside the house at 12:00.

Tonomura survived from the bombing incident, but he's in critical condition. At 14:00, another bombing incident occurs at the apartment building.

Saeki survived from the bombing incident, but he's in critical condition. Meanwhile, the little girl named Mao Misawa, Ayumi's neighbor, is telling her pet dog, Candy, to wait for her. Candy went inside the delivery truck but the truck left. Mao is now worried about Candy.

At the Mouri Detective Agency, the Detective Boys are planning to go to the Beika Library. Mao appears to Ayumi and tells her that her dog, Candy, jumped into a delivery truck and left. Mao doesn't know what to do and felt very sad. The Detective Boys tell her not to worry and they will help her to find Candy. While finding Candy, they found the Fox Delivery truck. They went inside calling to Candy. Suddenly, Chiba and the Fox delivery truck driver appear and asking them what are they doing. The Detective Boys cannot find Candy and it must be in another Fox Delivery truck. Takagi appears and Conan asks him is there a case. Takagi says there is a case and warns the kids to hurry home, so Takagi, Chiba, and the truck driver left by taking a ride on a truck. Conan now wonders what's going on.

Conan uses the cellphone to call Ran and asks what's Kogoro's doing. When Ran checks inside the detective agency, she found her dad being drunk while sleep talking about having another beer. Conan sees that and hangs up. Next, Conan calls Inspector Megure while using the voice changing bowtie using Kogoro's voice to get some information about the case. Megure told Conan that since midday, there have been two incidents. It's a serial bombing case. The first victim: Kouzou Tonomura, a district court judge. The second: Saeki Kazuhiko, a district public prosecutor. Although both victims suffered serious injuries, thankfully, they weren't life threatening. Both bombs were delivered with a timer. Furthermore, from the first incident's bomb wreckage, there were fingerprints that belonged to a man who served time until last month for a violation of the Explosives Control Act. That man was Masato Utsugi and he was arrested. His motive was revenge towards the people who unjustly persecuted and sentenced him. Also, according to Utsugi's testimony, he had delivered one more bomb. It was delivered to an ex- detective who arrested him. That's why he used a delivery truck. In the flashback, Takagi told Megure that they’ve confirmed the ex-detective Kaneko’s safety. The bomb hasn’t been delivered yet.

The bomb wasn't delivered to Kaneko and Takagi confirms that he's safe. If they trust Utsugi's testimony, the last bomb will explode at 4 PM. Chiba reports to Megure that he received a fax from the Fox Delivery Courier Company. It's the package's shipping information. It seems it's timed to be delivered from three to four. Megure asks where the bomb is right now and Chiba answers he has asked the company to tell their delivery employees. Takagi already asked the bomb squad to be ready for dispatch. Upon discovery, they will mobilize. The police will somehow make it in time. Until sudden, the phone rings and Chiba picks it up to answer it. Chiba receives a report about that the delivery truck has been hijacked. Two men took the delivery truck and Candy jumps in. The police identified two men: Kingo Ebisawa and Ginji Kaniyama, they both have robbery in their criminal records. Today, before noon, at Margane Loan in Beika City, they robbed one million yen. The footage of those two in the security camera and the deliveryman's testimony matched. The Magane Loan is the corrupted loan shark. Their getaway car's engine failed, so it was found nearby so they had to used the delivery truck. Perhaps it's for intercepting the police radio. The abandoned car did have a radio and that's why they chose a vehicle equipped with a radio, so they probably don't know about the bomb. So currently, the police are searching, but as of now, the delivery truck carrying a bomb hasn’t been secured. The delivery truck's been hijacked at Beika City District 3's residential area. After Conan got all the information from Megure, he hangs up.

Genta asks Conan what's he doing and tells him to help Mao to look for Candy. Haibara kindly asks Mao where was the place Candy got in the delivery truck. Meanwhile in the delivery truck, Ebisawa and Kaniyama are listening to the radio that the police HQ is telling all the stations to search the truck that was hijacked by the robbers. Ebisawa and Kaniyama are feeling great to make an escape from the police. Suddenly, Candy appears and Kaniyama thinks Candy is very adorable.

Mao found the area where Candy jumped into the truck. While they keep searching, Haibara and Conan know the correct pathway to find the truck. While going straight, they arrived at the street where there's traffic. When the group turn left, Conan calls Agasa for some assistance.

In the middle of the traffic, Ebisawa is struggling by tapping the navigation device. Kaniyama is wondering if they could stop by at the convenience store to get some snacks. Kaniyama also mentions that the navigator can trace the location of their car but luckily he broke the wire.

On the bridge, Conan uses the telescopic lenses and finds the right delivery truck. The Detective Boys went after it but it got away. They keep chasing it but Mao can't keep up the energy. Agasa finally picks them up and follow the truck while driving the beetle.

At the intersection, Agasa wonders which way did the truck turned. When Agasa asks Conan about the time before the bomb explodes, the Detective Boys and Mao got shocked hearing the word, "explodes". Conan and Haibara don't have a choice so they told them there's a bomb in the truck and at four, it will explode. The Detective Boys got upset hearing that and Mao cries about Candy.

At the convenience store, Kaniyama got hack in the truck with food. Two kids notice Candy and they wanted to pet her. Kaniyama lets them pet Candy and Ebisawa is telling Kaniyama to hurry up.

Conan tells the Detective Boys to wait in the car and also tells Agasa to stay in standby. So Conan got out and calls Megure again using Kogoro's voice. When he asks that the robbers are listening to the police radio, Megure confirms it and that's what he believes. As Conan secretly requests something to Megure, he understands so he orders the police to make an urgent contact with the command center and also contact Takagi and Chiba.

At the convenience store, the robbers drove away. While driving, they listen to the radio about the police HQ telling all units to conduct the next inspection. They said all units report to the following points: Downtown loop, near the intersections of Kirinishimachi District 3. The robbers panicked and tries to look for a way to get out of the place where they currently are. Later, they finally got out and felt great that there's no more checkpoints.

Episode 685: Foam, Steam, and Smoke (Part 2)

Scenario: After experimenting with beer, coffee, and cigarettes, the police conclude that neither suspect could've left their apartment for more than the 10 minutes required to push the president off his balcony and return by the stairs. Conan then remembers Uncle Kogoro telling him about sprinkling salt in his flat beers to make them foam when he was a poor student. The first suspect is arrested. He explains that the slandered actress was his friend and old classmate, and that the president stole his memory card so they lost their only piece of evidence for the lawsuit.

Episode 684: Foam, Steam, and Smoke (Part 1)

Scenario: Conan and Ai bump into Takagi coming out of a stakeout. He still has nightmares about falling off the plank he was tied to (see previous episode). A woman screams nearby and they discover the body of a publishing company president. 3 people were contacted by the victim right before his deadly fall. They all claim to have been alone in their apartment at the time. Takagi and Conan examine each apartment before the suspects can change anything. The first suspect shows the beer he recently poured out still foaming at the top. The second suspect shows her cup of hot coffee still steaming on the table. The third suspect shows his cigarette still smoking after it just burnt out. All 3 also admit that they're currently in a lawsuit against the president for doctoring photos and slandering a famous actress.

All the people witnessed the publishing company president named Daisaku Katsumoto fall to his death. Conan and the police deduced the culprit must be a person inside the building, who assaulted the president and rushed to the first floor. The required amount of time should be at least 10 minutes. The three suspects all had good alibis since the cameraman named Keisuke Ogino was drinking beer with froth bubbling on the surface, the magazine editor named Kaori Tsukihara was having coffee which still had steams, and the writer named Kazutomo Sodesaki was smoking a cigarette with smoke still coming out. Takagi performed repeated experiments to show that the threshold limit for froth, steam or smoke to stop coming out was 7 to 8 minutes. Or was there something else going on?

Through investigation, all of them confessed they held grudges with the murdered. Katsumoto had used their names to publish a fake article claiming that a popular actress was having an affair while engaged with a man. The "man in the affair" was actually her half-brother which the actress had to keep secret, because he was born from an affair her father had. Pressure and the cancellation of the marriage drove her to commit suicide. The half-brother was attacked by her fans and is still in a coma. They had prepared to take legal action against Katsumoto for the article.

Episode 683: The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love (The Inrush into the Scene)

Scenario: With the kidnapper dead, the police have to rely on the video of Takagi to figure out where he is. Conan recognizes the Western Jackdaw that is only found in Hokkaido and narrows down the search area. Every four story building is searched, but Takagi remains missing. After reviewing the footage, Conan realizes that the kidnapper placed a mirror underneath Takagi to give the illusion of a tall building. Takagi manages to remove the scarf over his mouth and name his location. Sato finds him right before the bomb detonates. In her joy over his safety, she kisses him in front of the cameras. Every police officer who was worried or crying over Takagi earlier suddenly wants to beat him up again.

Takagi's location becomes narrowed down to Hokkaido thanks to the Western Jackdaw (a bird that's usually found there), the phenomenon known as the "snow pillar" (which only takes place in VERY cold environments, like the snowy Hokkaido), and kites that appeared on the camera (during these days, a kite-related festival takes place there). The police are unable to get his specific position although Takagi is apparently in a four-story building. Later, Conan realizes that the building might not be a four-story building after all: the mirrors around cause an optical illusion.

Episode 682: The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love (Crisis State)

Scenario: After discussing the suicide cases with Sato, Conan concludes that Takagi was looking for his mentor's girlfriend who never got news about his death. She committed suicide believing Date left her. The police find the girlfriend's old English teacher who mixed up the two Watarus and blamed Takagi for her death. Before Sato can get any information about Takagi's whereabouts, the old man succumbs to the poison wine he was drinking.

In Sato's car the children discuss the case. Genta wonders that the medical student hit Detective Date with her car, but Sato says that she hit someone else, and the driver who hit Date was caught. Ayumi suggests that maybe Takagi had been secretly dating the english teacher, but Sato finds it unlikely, given that the teacher's calendar had the english word 'Date' written all over, and a police detective can't go on dates everyday. Mitsuhiko then wonder if it's connected to the hostess, who hanged herself, after Takagi's close friend and mentor Detective Date arrested her boyfriend. But Sato explain that the hostess hanged herself because she discovered that her boyfriend was a marriage fraudster. The police couldn't be blamed for that. Conan asks Sato to learn more about Detective Date, because he finds it curious that both he and Takagi share the same given name.

The culprit was Ryusaku Fuemoto, who was also a teacher at the school one of the suicide victims, Natalie Kuruma, was in. She was Date's girlfriend, and Fuemoto assumed that Takagi was Date as they had the same given name and because Natalie had only told her parents, whom she normally communicated in English with, that her boyfriend's name was Wataru and that he was a police detective. And to make matter worse the police had originally concluded that the reason behind Natalie's suicide was due to have dumped by her boyfriend, since they didn't know that she was Date's girlfriend and Sato has misread the name Date in romanji on Natalie's calendar as the English word 'Date'. Takagi had probably realized that Natalie was Date's girlfriend after a year had passed and contacted Fuemoto to inform him that Date didn't dump her, but was killed in an accident. Fuemoto considered Natalie as a surrogate daughter, identified her corpse after her suicide, and was so distressed that he kidnapped Takagi to "punish" him for her death. However, once he was located by the VERY angry Sato and other police members, it turns out he had consumed poisoned wine; he lived enough to hear Sato telling him that he had trapped the wrong man, but not to tell her where his victim was.

Episode 681: The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love (Begin Broadcasting)

Scenario: Today is the anniversary of the death of Takagi's mentor, Wataru Date. Detective Takagi finishes work early but no one, including Sato, knows where he disappeared to. The Detective Boys are waiting outside the police station for a safety pamphlet photoshoot when a stranger asks them to deliver a parcel to Takagi's girlfriend. The parcel contains a tablet broadcasting a tied up Takagi in real time. They have about 24 hours to figure out where he is before the bomb explodes. The police investigates the 3 old case files Takagi was recently looking over.

Yumi drives by Detective Takagi who had gotten off of work early for a one night trip. She asks Takagi if he is going on a date with Miwako, something which Takagi forcefully denies: "No, it's not a date!" Back at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters, Yumi asks Sato if she knows where Takagi is going. All they can deduce is that it might have something to do with a report Takagi met with Inspector Megure about earlier. Sato wonders if Takagi has forgotten the anniversary of his mentor Wataru Date's death.

As Date was reaching for his dropped police notebook, a sleepy driver struck and killed him. The driver was apprehended. At the airport, Takagi opens his notebook. It's marked with "Greet Parents" and contains a ring. Takagi breaks into tears, no longer confident in his ability to make Sato happy.

The next day, as the Detective Boys approach the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Headquarters where they were scheduled to for a crime prevention project, a strange old man asks them if they are the acquaintances of Wataru Takagi. He handed them a gift which was to be passed on to Sato and opened quickly. As the man leaves, Conan catches up with the Detective Boys. As Conan asks the Detective Boys about the man, Amuro appears! Amuro tells the four children he was called back in for questioning so the police could decide whether he'd gone too far during the Detectives' Nocturne case. As he walks away, Amuro mentions that he had another reason for coming here, but that reason has already disappeared.

Meanwhile in police headquarters, Sato continues to collect clues from the other officers about where Takagi's whereabouts. Sato is shocked to hear from Detective Chiba that he saw Takagi crying over a photo of a woman in his notebook. When Chiba asked if it was of Sato, Takagi angrily denied it. Before Sato can question further, she receives a call from Conan.

In the hall, the Detective Boys gave the present to Sato. It turns out to be a tablet PC displaying a live feed of Takagi bound up with rope and tape while asleep. The feed cycles through several camera angles, revealing Takagi's body is on a wooden plank with a sheet in a partially constructed building. As Sato and the Detective Boys watch in horror, Takagi regains consciousness.

Although Shiratori felt that the Anti-Cybercrime Division can find the footage's location, it will take a long time. He suggested taking the tablet apart and charged directly from inside in order to retrieve the data, to which Conan said it was too risky. Superintendent Matsumoto ordered Megure to contact Haneda Airport on whether Takagi was on any passenger list last night, Shiratori to check his computer information on his likely whereabouts, Chiba to watch the tablet's video, Sato to question the Detective Boys who're waiting in another room and every police detective to investigate everyone connected with Takagi's prior investigations.

The Detective Boys recounted their encounter with the man. The man knew Takagi by his full name, yet only knew Sato as Takagi's detective girlfriend. Chiba came to report to Sato, who rushed back and to her horror saw Takagi almost falling off the board. However, it turned out that Takagi was dropping his police notebook.

Superintendent Matsumoto was wondering about Takagi's clueless disappearance when a police detective suddenly remembered seeing Takagi coming out of the Record Office last week while crying. Matsumoto ordered them to search through the records.

While Conan and Sato are taking a walk through the hall, Conan learnt that the records that Takagi looked at that day were 3 cases of women who committed suicide by hanging themselves about a year ago. They all had no signs of foul play, so they were out of the jurisdiction.

According to police investigation, Yuko Tokugi accidentally killed someone in a Hit-and-run and commit suicide out of guilt.

According to police investigation,Natalie Kurama committed suicide out of sadness that her boyfriend broke up with her for unknown reason.

According to police investigation,Kyoka Hikoue found out that her boyfriend that she supported is a fraudster and commit suicide out of shame. The fraudster was caught but the charge wasn't fraud, but murder. He'd been shouldering quite large debts, and having trouble with a loan shark so he went and stabbed someone. Sato thinks Date caught him.

Straight after catching the fraudster, Date died in a traffic accident. He'd dropped his notebook, and was hit by a driver who'd fallen asleep at that wheel, according to Takagi. They were both on a night stakeout, and Date was trying to show Takagi something in his notebook when he got hit. The black notebook Takagi has was inherited from Date. Date was Takagi's mentor and were known as the "Wataru Brothers". Date's name is Wataru Date. His name was Wataru, just like Takagi's.

Meanwhile at night, Takagi is still breathing and is still lying in prone position on the wooden board...
