Episode 1094: Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Part 2)

Scenario: For the second sentence, "plane attack", Yanagimachi led everyone towards the auditorium, as he explained that a plane attack has the same meaning as hijacking, hence, the clue might be hidden somewhere with a high altitude. He placed a ladder under the clock hanging high up the auditorium and decided to climb up to check if any clues remained. It would be a piece of cake for a firefighter like him to do all these kinds of things. Despite the fact that it was all covered with dust, he was still able to see that there was a letter "u" on top. Combining with the first clue, which was "yo", they got "yo-u". Next up, for the third sentence, "artist don't go", Murata led everyone towards the art room. While searching, Conan found a symbol written on the side of the clock edge, right under the seven. Which recorded the hiragana symbol "ぐ" (Gu), he only took a photo and said nothing. Murata suddenly got reminded of the roof, as they were prohibited from drawing landscapes on top of the school roof. When they arrived there, they immediately found the hiragana symbol "ぐ" (Gu) as well, on the bottom of the doorknob that leads to the roof. Everyone exclaimed that it was amazing that the note did not wear off after 13 years. For the fourth sentence, "doctor don't lie", Ichihashi deduced the meaning and led everyone towards the nurse's office, where they found something written under the bed. It recorded the hiragana symbol "し" (Shi). Since most kids fake being sick and lie on a bed. At the same time, Conan also found another hiragana symbol "し" (Shi) behind the scale for measuring the student's height. With the clues they had, "yo-u-gu-shi", they were totally capable of knowing that the answer Akemi wanted to convey was "yougusitsu", namely the tool shed, without the need to search for the last sentence, "don't burn charm 89".

However, Mrs. Kobayashi said that the tool shed was already removed ten years ago due to deterioration and was replaced with a bathroom. Everyone got really discouraged for learning that the time capsule might have been gone along with the tool shed, but Conan sensed a sort of fishy going on here. Later, Mrs. Wakasa inquired of Mrs. Kobayashi why she would look up information on a computer from the library, she justified that it was the only computer loaded with school information that she could access without a password. Moreover, although it may seem quite old now, it was brand new when she was a school librarian. "I see. That's why 'Librarian Miyano Akemi' was oriented that way." Conan understood everything. When Conan realised the actual place where Akemi had hid the time capsule, he contacted the Detective Boys, and told them to find the time capsule.

Among the chitchats within the alumnus reunion, the culprit sneakly walked out of the classroom, gently closing the classroom door, and quickly ran towards the yard. With their maximum speed, the consecutive foot steps indicated his anxiety. They instantly grabbed the shovel and headed towards the actual time capsule hiding place... The animal shed! While they were hesitating and did not know where to start, Conan interrupted them: "I knew it was you."

Episode 1093: Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Part 1)

Scenario: Face, dark, Sherry, organisation, betrayal, Gin, pursuers, and Rum... These words came from aimless conversations liaising together within Haibara's mind, which struck her with fear, worry, and timidity. Slowly, one hand from the abyss of darkness approached her shoulder. Haibara was horrified after the hand landed on her shoulder, it was in fact Conan. The Detective Boys were out on a morning, planning to see the new black rabbit that did not seem as energetic as they last saw it. After they arrived at the Teitan Elementary School, they saw that the black rabbit was feeling much better in comparison to their last visit. After greeting the two teachers who also appeared at their school on a Sunday, someone reached Haibara and inqured of her if she was Shiho Miyano, the younger sister of Akemi Miyano, This caught both Conan and Haibara off guard. After confirming, the person who asked about Haibara's name was actually a graduate of the school, who got there to celebrate a class reunion. There were three people in front of the Detective Boys: the man who asked about Shiho, Murata Sho, who used to be the class president, Gaku Yanagimachi, who used to be the class vice-president, and lastly, Seiko Ichihashi, who used to be the class secretary. It was obvious that they were Akemi's former classmates, they recognised Haibara as Shiho right away as Haibara matched the brown-hair girl who was standing beside Akemi in a photo that Akemi showed them. However, considering that it was thirteen years ago, they concluded that they must have mistaken Haibara for her.

The three of them decided to leave the rest of the old alumnus behind in classroom 6-A, who were organising everything for the reunion party. The three of them wanted to dig out the time capsule they buried before their graduation. They told the two teachers that Akemi was the one who buried those time capsules, and Mrs. Kobayashi said that she wrote the location on a piece of paper, which she handed to their teacher, Mr. Kunigami. When she took out the paper, the three of them reacted in astonishment. It was nothing obvious but a sophisticated code that said the following:

Librarian Miyano Akemi
Show me a Monet
Plane attack
Artist don't go
Doctor don't lie
Don't burn charm 89 

Before handing the note to Mr. Kunigami, Akemi claimed that there was a message for everyone and, most importantly, a message for her younger sister as well. The trio then insisted on going to look for the time capsule themselves, without the assistance of their other classmates who were inside the classroom. Conan also spoke for the Detective Boys, saying they would also help find the time capsule with them. Conan's intent was to find the message left by Akemi for Haibara before the others and secretly deliver it to her. They divided themselves into three searching groups: Haibara, Ayumi, and Conan would go with Murata; Mrs. Kobayashi and Mitsuhiko would go with Ichihashi; and Mrs. Wakasa and Genta would go with Yanagimachi. Conan thought that "Show me a Monet", must be connected to a Monet painting, and precisely, their principal loves the work of Monet. So they headed towards the principal's room, as there was usually a replica of Monet's work hanging on the office wall. Nevertheless, the painting on display that day was not Monet's work but instead Murata's work, which won the award. Conan did not find anything written on the back of the painting. In the nurse's office, Mitsuhiko was searching for clues in the sink because he surmised that "tell a lie" from "doctor don't lie" sounded like "tearai", which is the word sink. Unfortunately, he did not find anything near the sink. In the home economics room, Genta was admiring how cool Yanagimachi was for being a firefighter and having saved numerous lives, just like a hero. Meanwhile, Mrs. Wakasa was searching around the cookstove to find a match for the phrase "don't burn charm 89". Mrs. Wakasa mentioned that the music room was nearly caught on fire once, 14-15 years ago, which even resulted in the thousands of cranes in the room that were folded for the choral contest getting slightly burned. Yanagimachi recalled the scenario in which Akemi witnessed himself igniting the fire in the backyard of the school at that time.

After the search for time capsules failed, Mrs. Kobayashi proposed showing the code to the rest of the class for help. But they all acted very nervous after hearing the proposal and kept claiming that they were able to find it themselves. Therefore, their second investigation started off. They went to the principal's room once again for the sentence "Show me a Monet". The two teachers phoned the principal and informed him to check if there was anything written on the Monet painting that he had taken home. But the principal said there was nothing. Ichihashi thought that the clue might also be written on the wall, if it was not on the back of the painting. Finally, they really found a character on the wall. Which recorded the hiragana symbol "よ" (Yo), they got picked up and were determined to solve the rest of the code.

Episode 1092: Stakeout 2

Scenario: After seeing a window with open blinds, Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys discovered Takagi and Chiba were on another stakeout. Their goal was also to observe the building across from them. This time being a woman named Satomi Yoda. She was being watched by the police due to his ex, Kazuma Fujiki, happened to be involved in a robbery case from days ago. That is, a mid-aged man was knocked unconscious with a rod-like object during a robbery, and according to the crime scene situation, the police were convinced that the culprit was Fujiki.

Although he is still at large and on the run, the police got some valuable information from a bar named Fukunishi. The bar owner claimed that he once heard Fujiki say stuff like: his ex is still loving her and wants to have a reunion. Takgi and Chiba thus questioned Yoda about whether Fujiki had contacted her after he committed the crime, she denied the fact and promised to contact them when Fujiki phoned her. Takagi did not believe her words and, therefore, decided to surveillance her.

Just after Takagi had explained the situation, they heard Yoda's sighs from her balcony: "What should I do?" After that, she seemed to get a phone call from someone, and she got shocked after hearing the content. After some communication, she hurried to get dressed and rushed out of her house. Conan and Takagi decided to follow her and see her act. They found out that she went to the shopping mall and bought some food: high-grade steak, assorted sashimi, top-quality broiled eel, shortcakes, and some wine. After that, she withdrew some cash from an ATM. Takagi deduced that she was probably doing all of these things for his ex, hence, she still had some feelings for him. Suddenly, she phoned Takagi, and asked everyone to gather at her house because she had decided to confess everything. The truth turned out to be a coincidence, after Takagi and Chiba had questioned her and left her house, Fujiki contacted her, saying he was about to hide in her apartment, but owing to the presence of the police, he fled away timidly. The money and food were just a gimmick to make the police believe that Fujiki was coming to her home after she knew she was being watched. But eventually, she thought permitting her ex to consistently stay on the run was not the best choice, and she would recommend him atone for his sins. After confessing everything, she burst out in tears. Takagi also comprehended the reality, thus, he decided to retrieve the stakeout plan and after Fujiki alone.

The Detective Boys followed the two policemen into a convenience store that was situated nearby Yoda's home. They viewed the security footage together, and found Fujiki's face in the image. Combining with the timestamp, it was apparently on his way to Yoda's home in the morning, however, they did not discover the scenario he left Yoda's house. Afterwards, the Detective Boys investigated more clues regarding the case: Yoda used to be a joyful person, but after she broke up with Fujiki, she fell into the abyss of depression. Just last month, Yoda engaged with a man called Daisuke Ishinabe, who ran a general store called "Ishinabe Discount". He was precisely meeting Yoda at that time. "I see, that woman's confession must have been a lie." Conan understood everything and was about to uncover the truth in front of Yoda. On the other hand, Ishinabe was helping Yoda carry some used books in a rectangular box into a van. Because the books were too heavy, she needed Ishinabe's help. Ishinabe left the van key and greeted Yoda. Conan then emerged from the back of the van and started his deduction.

0 Detective Conan Episode 1091: Girls Day Mystery

Episode 1091: Girls Day Mystery

Scenario: In Professor Agasa's house, after rejecting Ran's invitation for shopping at the Beika Department Store, Conan sat on top of the sofa, and was watching a TV drama named "Flying Squir Murders", while urging Agasa to tag along. Agasa brought some pizza and they began to watch the TV drama.

"We two girls should enjoy today to our hearts' content!" exclaimed Sonoko, who was shopping with Ran at the Beika Department Store, which was as crowded as ever. After all the fun and excitement, they encountered Haibara and Ayumi just by chance, when they were chilling on top of the roof of the shopping mall building. In addition, Sato also passed by, and the reunion of the five old acquaintances instigated an afternoon tea at the Beika Department Store restaurant. Sato explained that she came here to seize the limited edition pear sweets from Tadano Fruits Parlour. This brought up their following conversations, nevertheless, after mentioning about Megure's funniness, Sonoko uttered that she noticed someone who acted very strangely on the third floor: a man dressed in green, with a peculiar hair style that contained yellow and black, who bumped into the two girls. He was mumbling to himself and kept looking at the ceiling, with no intent of buying clothes. Ayumi afterwards also pointed out that she also saw a man acting weird on the sixth floor: a man in a shirt with a pattern of sun. He was not looking at the paintings that were displayed in the art gallery, but instead, he chose to peer at the empty white wall. Ran later remarked that she saw another man looking queer as well on the roof: he wore a black trench coat, sunglasses, and possessed short black hair, he was also mumbling to himself while looking at the sky, trying to figure out the direction of the wind using his fingers. And after hearing all of the speeches given by the others, Sato also could not stand concealing anything, she confessed that she saw a curious man too, on the ground floor outside the department store: he was rather stout and strong, wore a pink shirt, and was pushing a stroller while mumbling to himself. The most intriguing thing was, the stroller was empty. They attempted to consider all of these as solely coincidences, but Haibara deduced that it might not be the case if too many repetitions emerged. She said that it was possible that their mumbling was in fact the communication between each other through the radio. Therefore, Sato concluded that they were most likely planning to implement a crime. Sonoko speculated that the thieves might be targeting the huge diamond in a jewellery exhibition named "Harry Murzabayev Design Diamond Collection Special Exhibition" on the sixth floor which will take place from the 1st of August onward.

The five of them decided to keep an eye on the incident at least and investigate it. Ran called Shinichi for help, and at the same time, Ayumi called Conan. Unfortunately, Conan was too fascinated by watching the detective drama to realise the two phone calls ringing from his phones. Sato led the others to the "World Mask Exhibition", which was still open, and met the security guard, Kazuo Takahashi, who told them the security system for the building: during business hours, there were forty guards overlooking every floor; after business hours, the exits will be locked and only the service entrance will remain open; all visitors will be thoroughly checked when entering the exhibition; six guards will be constantly looking at the images captured by the security footage; once every three hours, they will patrol the building; the security footage will cover all areas and there will be no blind spots; the security footage will be stored on the cloud; every door had a sensor installed and will notify the guards if forcibly broken; during the diamond exhibition, they plan to double the number of guards. So the security system was impeccably flawless, then what was the point of them poking around and acting suspiciously?

The only place that the building did not have guards watching was the rooftop, thus Sato requested the security guard to strengthen the security there as the suspicious man measuring wind direction on the roof was seen by Ran. After meeting with the security guard, they went to the karaoke and rented a room to "rehearse" the criminals plan. Which was basically to pretend being the robbers and trying to simulate the most realistic scenario that may be advantageous for capturing the real criminals. Sato interrupted her and proposed to gather clues first, and the others started to analyse the situation: the man looking at the ceiling was trying to check security cameras; the man watching at the walls was trying to find a way to get in without breaking the door and activating the sensors; the man measuring the wind direction also showed that they intend to sneak in from above; and the last man with the empty stroller, maybe he was checking out the traffic conditions on the ground that will make their way out of the building. There were also some notable clues pointed out by the girls: they all wore flashy clothes, they all had weird hairstyles, and they had weird stickers on their car. Haibara also surmised that since the security footage was stored on the cloud, it would be susceptible to getting hacked, which might also be part of the robbers' plan. Here goes the robbery rehearsal imagined by the five girls: the thieves attempt to enter from the skies → Hack into the security system and turn off the alarm → Incapacitate the guards → Avoid the sensors on the doors → Destroy the walls → Enter the building → Acquire the diamonds as quickly as possible → Flee using their car on the ground floor. Although their simulation seemed plausible, Haibara went into a deep contemplation, and kept staring at the large diamond on the exhibition promotion poster. She said something, which suddenly hinted Sato. "I see. So that's how it is." Sato uncovered the truth, the scales fell from her eyes. "I know what they're actually after."

"They're the culprit!" on the other hand, Conan, who was watching the detective drama with Agasa, also knew the truth of the detective drama. Agasa doubted Conan's deduction, however, Conan confirmed it with a cocksure face. But he never knew that a formidable robbery show was taking place at the Beika Department Store.

Episode 1090: The Culprit Who Disappeared Into the Sleeping Town

Scenario: After the dawn had faded and the jet-black had taken over the sky, Kogoro, Ran, and Conan were walking down a deserted street, grumbling that they had just completed a request concerning a lost cat. All of a sudden, they heard a high-pitched whistle out of nowhere, resonating around the entire street in Haido City. When they got there to examine the circumstances, they saw a security guard lying on the pavement, struggling with weak vitality but still alive. Apparently, he fell off the big staircase that was above him. The security guard uttered "white clothes" repeatedly using his last breath, while using his finger to point at the pavement, which led towards the major avenue. Conan noticed that there were bloody footprints throughout the pavement that the security guard pointed at.

At the same time, Conan also heard a woman sobbing, which seemed to come from the top of the staircase. The police then arrived and found out that there was another person murdered on top of the staircase. The woman who was sobbing next to the corpse was the victim's wife, Keiko Yuki.

Hideto Yuki was the president of an IT company, and his IT company building was situated right behind the crime scene. Therefore, Sato deduced that Hideto was most likely killed when he was exiting his IT company building, as there was a platform in front of the building, followed by a huge staircase that led to the place where the IT company security guard Goro Nezu was murdered. Conan then scrutinised the crime scene meticulously and discovered that the blood stains ended abruptly and must have been splattered onto the culprit as well. Thus he turned his sight towards the victim's wife, Keiko, who had precisely a lot of blood stains on her clothes due to her first contact with the corpse and was wearing white clothes, just as the security guard Goro said before his death. The police discovered a stun gun, always carried by Hideto for self-defence, ditched among the blood stains, and judging by its voltage, it must have been used on the culprit once. After checking the situation at the top, everyone began to investigate the dead Goro at the bottom of the staircase. It happened to be the same knife that took away their lives, and when they looked closely, there were numerous cut wounds on Goro's chest, and that might be the result of his battle with the culprit. With regards to the bloody footprints, they extended towards the avenue. Sato once again deduced that the culprit might have escaped in that direction, switched their shoes, or fled in a vehicle.

The suspects were Keiko Yuki, Hideto's wife, and Kaoru Ichinose, Hideto's secretary. These two were around when the two murder cases got implemented. Keiko explained that she was talking to his husband in a third-floor meeting room, and she stayed behind, always at the back of the building. After hearing the alarm whistle, she went to the window to check it out. This made her see the corpse lying below the building and the security guard running and chasing the culprit. Then she heard a fatal scream from the security guard, Goro, who fell in the middle of the staircase. After giving out this information, she resumed sobbing. However, Conan realised that she wore a wedding ring, but the victim did not. So he deduced that they might be at odds and on the verge of divorcing. This offered her a plausible motive for the killings. Soon Kogoro excluded the possibility of Keiko committing the crime, as if the culprit was really Keiko, Goro must have pointed at the top of the stairs but instead towards the avenue direction. And Keiko was wearing heels anyway, which did not match the two footprints at the crime scene. Yet the suspicion fell on the victim's secretary, Kaoru Ichinose. Conan determined that Kaoru was smoking across the building by smelling his clothes, which were exactly where the security guard pointed. He also confessed, and explained that he was smoking on the opposite pavement, and the crime scene was entirely blocked by other buildings in that position. Although Kaoru was wearing a pink vest, the vest was reversible, and on the reverse side of the vest, the colour was white, which matched Goro's testimony. Nevertheless, the police did not find any blood stains on it, but coffee stains. Now here comes the hard mystery: the police did not find anything off upon them, which proved their innocence. Then who else would the culprit be?

Conan did not understand why could not the culprit attack Hideto when he was alone, but instead, in front of the security guard. After some time, Sato found out that four years ago, Yuki's company was suspected of illegal activities, and the woman, named Sachi Shirai, who supposedly had the full responsibility killed herself by jumping off the IT company building. And the one giving the testimony which Sachi jumped off the building was he security guard, Goro.

After Goro gave his testimony, he immediately paid off all the debts he had accumulated. Hence, Kogoro deduced that he was bribed to give false testimony. Conan looked around the internet and found a life-time photo of Sachi Shirai, which, from the reflection of the wine glass, showed Kaoru. Kaoru had connections with Sachi, even though the incident happened before his arrival at this IT company. He admitted being Sachi's boy friend and revealed that he entered the company just to discover the truth of that incident. He also uncovered that the reason he was smoking across the building was actually to meet his president. As his president felt a sort of remorse and wanted to turn himself in regarding the incident happened four years ago. Today he also had confessed with his wife Keiko about his repent too. Since the president had never shown up, he decided to inspect what was going on nearby. He then noticed the bloody footprints caused by the culprit and followed him up the stairs. And found his president, Hideto, dead and the security guard performing chest compressions for the president. Anyhow, Goro mistook him for the culprit, who intended to retire back to the crime scene. And wanted to catch him and hand him to the police. That was also what Keiko saw in the IT company building. The only thing he could do was reverse the vest and pretend that he had just passed by. Then, is Kaoru lying? If yes, what trick did he use?

Episode 1089: The Genius Restaurant

Scenario: On an idly day, near the pavement located next to a shrine, the stick repeatedly danced upon the drum, which created a sound reverberating around the whole street, lacing with a melancholy melody that came out of a clarinet. The Detective Boys were deeply attracted by the graceful music and followed behind the three music players. The three folks led them towards a newly opened candy shop nearby, and they seemed to be the staff responsible for celebrating it. The emaciated man, wearing a purple kimono decided to hand the Detective Boys a plum for each of them, in order to commemorate this jubilant day. Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko all claimed that they had never seen anything like this plum before. After the three of them tasted it, they were all astonished by the luscious flavour of it. While Conan did not impersonate the others, he gazed at the plum in his hand, and looked rather dejected. Genta then questioned Conan about whether he was looking down at candies, yet Conan denied it, and remarked mercilessly, "It's just that candy for kids." then just put the plum inside his pockets. Genta got fairly piqued after hearing Conan's thoughts, and told Conan that he ought not pretend to be a grownup. Mitsuhiko also echoed, stating that people like Conan are being classified as arrogant. Although Conan kept declining being arrogant, Genta started a quarrel with Conan about it. Finally, suppressing his anger, Conan walked off.

After leaving the Detective Boys, Conan alone, walked along the pavement grumbling. Abruptly, he came across an old man, who was wearing spectacles with frames embellished with gold. He had his full body dressed in grey, also had a grey hat on top of his head. Due to Conan's madness at the Detective Boys, he did not see the old man advancing towards him, thus Conan knocked him down undeliberately. Conan apologized to the old man and helped him picking up his spectacles. After he put his spectacles, he said something gradually: "I saw a corpse, an omurice corpse."

Conan sighed and thought that was non-sense, and attempted to walking away. However, the old man seemed to be raged and grabbed Conan back, meanwhile shouting sentences like "Don't turn your back on the elderly!" He held Conan in his arms, carried him at a gloomy alley full of bamboos grown. Conan did not understand, and inquired of the old man where was the so-called "omurice corpse", the old man then realised that the corpse was grisly gone. The old man then accused Conan eating the omurice, Conan keenly escaped out of the old man's arm timely, unfortunately got obstructed by the end of the small alley. The end of the alley happened to be a wooden door with a layer of dust deposited onto it, apparently not being used for a while. As Conan peered upwards, a signboard with "Jurakudai" had been engraved on top of it came into sight. Conan then noticed that this was the name of the restaurant that he had been before with Ran.

Three months ago, it used to be a famed and popular restaurant that served western foods. Conan recalled the last time he visited the Jurakudai Restaurant with Ran.

When they walked into the restaurant entrance hall, there was a big aquarium-like facility with all kinds of special dishes introduced exclusively by the restaurant flowing all around the water inside the aquarium. This can be considered the menu of this peculiar restaurant. When they turned their heads to the left, they saw the chef-owner of the restaurant, Jurakudai, who was busy in the kitchen. At that time, he was jugging kitchen dishes ingeniously and had none of them broken into pieces. There were three staff members employed by him also standing nearby, praising his talent.

Moreover, he had a world-class five-star dish named "special kid's lunch", which could be considered his special dish for the restaurant. This restaurant also had an interesting manner for ordering food, which was to use a special machine in the shape of a pink frog-like creature. By inserting cash into the machine, you would get a food ticket in exchange, and the food would be ordered. Ran recommended Conan try out the "special kid's lunch", as that was what this restaurant was famous for. Nevertheless, Conan did not want it and said that a kid's lunch was still just a kid's lunch. This provoking statement got heard by the chef, and he seemed rather furious about it. Ran also perceived that Conan was acting like a grownup, and people who did not know him very well would most likely assume he was an arrogant kid. In the end, Conan decided to eat omurice, just like Ran, and not experience the "special kid's lunch". The chef got even more indignant after learning of Conan's decision.

Ran started ordering their food using the special food machine; she first found the corresponding machine, which was used for ordering omurice, and selected the number of dishes desired by using the lever that was installed on the right-hand side of the machine. After receiving the money and order, the eye of the pink frog suddenly emits laser light, and the chef inside the kitchen would accept it by absorbing the laser light using a cooking pan. The pan displayed "Omurice II" after the erosion of the laser light. "SHOWTIME!!!" The chef shouted with excitement. Namley, a tune of classical music kicked in; it was "Eine kleine Nachtmusik", composed by Wolfgang A. Mozart. The chef cooked the omurice along with this elegant classical music, with his three staffs dancing to cheer him up. After Jurakudai finished his cooking, the dishes were placed inside a steel pot cover. They were then sent into a rocket, which could fly from the kitchen and reach the dining area. On the customer side, Ran and Conan arrived at the dining area and saw a marvellous design of the room, with a universe background and 3D models of the moon, the earth, and even a rainbow swirling around. And most importantly, the dining tables and seats were located on a carousel. The rocket was dangling from the dining table where Ran and Conan were sitting, and the two dishes were then dropped downward and lied on top of the table using a parachute made of some sort of fabric. The most ingenious thing was that the parachute could then be used as a bib. Ran and Conan had their meal very gracefully, along with the accompaniment of classical music.

Back to the present, Conan discovered a photo of him eating the omurice stuck on the wooden door, seemingly taken on his last visit to the restaurant. It was fixed with the tip of the stick that was attached to the flag, which was stabbed on top of the omurice in that restaurant. Conan surmised that the chef of the restaurant might have done it. He could easily take the photo inside the kitchen while he was eating the omurice. After this deduction, he then thought of the staff member who was playing the violin in the background when the chef was cooking. Conan seemed to understand what was going on, and turned his face towards the old man who was standing just behind him. And enquired if the omurice corpse the old man saw was himself, and surprisingly, the old man shook his head. Then Conan asked if the corpse was a long-haired high school girl wearing overalls (Ran Mouri), and the old man nodded. As Conan got shocked, he noticed a badge icon equipped on the old man's chest and then quickly discovered the old man's identity. The old man ghastly sneered afterwards, an earth-shattering action scenario was about to kick off.

0 Detective Conan Episode 1088: The Unfortunate and Suspicious Victim

Episode 1088: The Unfortunate and Suspicious Victim

Scenario: Inside the Doterasu Shrine, a lad named Jupita Okamoto seemed to be praying for something. Just as he was about to leave, he encountered a pungent, rubbery thief who had a knife held in their hand, provoking Jupita to hand them all of his money. Jupita got scared and started to run in the opposite direction, towards the staircase that leads to the exit of the shrine, going down. The theif then swiftly gripped Jupita's wallet and cut the iron chain attached to it, attempting to steal the wallet. With a slight kick from the theif, Jupita fell off the stone staircase from the shrine.

The Detective Boys, who heard that fatal scream established by the victim, arrived to check it out instantly. There was also a witness, who was an old woman who saw Jupita fall from the top of the shrine pavement with her own eyes. Conan instructed others to call the police and an ambulance, although the theif had already fled.

Accordingly, Jupita, the injured man, got sent to Beika Central Hospital, and when his older sister, Juria Okamoto, asked about her brother's condition, the doctor claimed that he did not pose a danger to his life. Nevertheless, Juria could never come up with a reasonable explanation for his brother's ending up in Beika City, as per previous phone calls, Jupita told her that he was in Waiha City from beginning to end. And the most suspicious thing is that these two cities are in fact situated in entirely opposite directions. With this incredulous doubt in mind, their teacher, Kotaro Saimon, arrived to check Jupita's condition. From their words and deeds, Conan noticed that both of them seemed to hate the city of Beika. When Conan inquired about it, they explained that their enemy, Yuzuru Kariba, was currently living in Beika City. He was also a songwriter and was formerly Kotaro's strudent. However, due to some issues, Kotaro dismissed him because he was fed up with Kotaro. Somehow, he got quite popular after he left his teacher and was even appointed chairman of the Japanese Songwriters Association. And by using his position inside the industry, he started to spread slander about Kotaro since he wanted to get revenge for the dismissal. Another disgraceful thing is that most of Yuzuru's works were plagiarised, he claimed that he could not endure that, as this brought some negative impacts among the association, and made more songwriters attempt to imitate his success. Juria also mumbled that it was all because of Yuzuru that she broke up with his ex-fiance, Ren Mizutani.

Although Juria had some connections with Beika City, the victim, Jupita, surprisingly did not have any connections with Beika. Why would he come to Beika out of nowhere? Well, Conan thought of an explanation for it: since Ren must have met Jupita when he was engaging with Juria, he must be thinking of going and finding Ren in Beika and trying to make them together once again. This speculation was then supported by Kotaro's testimony, he disclosed that one day Jupita murmured about putting them back together to him. For further acknowledgement, Juria decided to phone Ren and ask if Jupita really intended to visit him. But anyhow, Ren said no in a scornful manner.

To get more clues, they went to the nurse's station, where they had Jupita's possessions. And on the back of Jupita's clothes, it was fairly dirty. Kotaro deduced it might have been stained onto it during his fall. A receipt from a general store near the station was also found in his pockets, so they got there and consulted about Jupita. The store clerk admitted seeing a Jupita in the store and recalled him buying a knife earlier. He placed the newly purchased knife inside his daypack after the purchase. Then where was the daypack? It was not found inside the nurse's station. Luckily, the shrine caretaker handed in the daypack that Jupita was wearing when he visited the shrine and claimed it to be a lost item. The Detective Boys then showed all of their investigation progress to Juria and Kotaro. Conan also asked Juria to check Jupita's call history and confirm something. Strangely, the last number he called was their association. When she asked what the content of the call was to the association staff, the staff said they were unsure if it was from her brother, but the association really received an anonymous, disturbing call from a withheld number. A sentence was uttered through the speakers, with their voice altered: "Kariba Yuzuru will suffer the warth of god!"

With this shocking clue, everyone had to think that it was Jupita who threatened Yuzuru and tried to plot his murder. This could also explain why he came to Beika, why he would buy a knife in the general store, and why he was most likely praying for his murder to succeed in the shrine, moreover, the motive would be easy as well, as he loved his sister so much, thus, he wanted to get rid of the nasty guy and make his sister and Ren together. Yet, Conan felt that there were some flaws in this assumption. If he did all of this, then the alibi he tried fabricating in the phone call would be of no use, also the police could also easily track the phone number that phoned the association, and the most puzzling thing, if he wanted to conceal his intent, then why would he reveal his face when purchasing the knife?

The two of them were now convinced Jupita was the culprit and intended to plot a murder in Beika City. Kotaro helped carry the dayapck into the station for evidence preservation. Even so, Conan still felt that Jupita's actions were quite inconsistent if he was the culprit. And when he checked Jupita's daypack again inside the nurse's station, a bandanna abruptly appeared, and he remembered very clearly that this bandanna was not inside the daypack when he got it from the shrine. The Detective Boys decided to split up and investigate the case separately, Haibara and Conan got the information that Jupita loved cooking. Genta, Mitsuhiko, and Ayumi visited Yuzuru's mansion and learned that Yuzuru still had not returned since he left this morning; and the household maid also pointed out that an extra metal pipe appeared leaning near the entrance wall with no reason. They then went to the shrine and knew where the daypack was found, and it happened to be behind the shrine. At the back of the main shrine, they found some weird marks on the ground; random leaves are located on top of the land. The Detective Boys then reached the conclusion that Jupita was once here since the ground marks matched the dirt stain on Jupita's clothes they saw. On the other side, Conan found Ren and informed him that Jupita would never show up, no matter how long he waited. Ren looked at him in perplexity.
