A racing second hand, a shooting comet!

Conan's logic works fast on hearts tired by modern society!

Today's case is an impossible crime! Money comes and goes!

He sees the single truth for what it is,

and looks like a kid but has the mind of an adult!

His name? Detective Conan!

The Finance Company President Murder Case

The Finance Company President Murder Case.

Mahjong

Should I lose the ryan-pin? (ryan-pin = two)

A sha-bo would make the wait pointless... (sha-bo = double-pair)

Wha...?! Are you messing with my pieces again?!

Oh, come on. You're doing well tonight. Consider it a handicap!

Ron! (winning move)

Menchin, ipeiko, dora, dora...

That's a baiman! (baiman = double)

I lose!

You're leaving, Okano?

Yeah, I have no luck tonight. I'll be off now.

Now we need another player...

Let's ask Hida-san.

Hida-san?

He runs that finance company. He loves Mahjong.

President's Office

Hida Mitsuhiro (53)

10 million. I'm all smiles tonight!

Hello, this is Hida Financial.

Ah, Hida-san! You're still there!

Oh, it's you, Hasegawa-san.

Do you hear this?

We need another player, so I thought I'd ask...

I'll be right there once I'm done counting this money!

Is something the matter?

I'll be there in half an hour! Play without me until then!

Says it'll be thirty minutes and to keep playing until then.

Great, then I'll play until then!

Thanks, kid!

Oh, no, you won't!

I was wondering where you were!

You brought him here, didn't you, Dad?!

Alright, let's go!

Hey, now!

Say, would you wanna play for half an hour or so?

I hate that stupid, gloomy grownup game!

Ron!

A dai-san-gen, su-an-ko, and tsui-i-so!

A triple yakuman!

I won again!

Yeah...

Where is Hida-san, anyway?

I'll give him a call.

Weird, he's not answering. But his lights are still on.

Maybe something happened?

Hey, yeah, he was strangely flustered when I called him earlier.

Don't tell me he was robbed?!

Let's check it out.

Hey! Hida-san!

Are you in there, Hida-san? Hida-san!

Minamisawa Hisayoshi (34)

What are you all doing here?

Your boss never showed up, so we came to get him.

He's still here?

Incidentally, what are you doing here?

I left my cell phone here.

Ah. Here it is.

This is it.

So, where's your boss?

His office, I'd assume.

Sir! Sir!

Is there a master key?

He'd never make a master key; the vault's in there.

Then we'll just have to bust it down!

Sir!

No good. He's gone.

The deceased is Hida Mitsuhiro-san, 53.

The cause was potassium cyanide-induced suffocation.

He died some time between 7:00 and 7:30 p.m.

Inspector.

What is it, Takagi-kun?

The key on the desk opens this door.

And the fact that the windows were locked from the inside

means this was an impossible crime and a locked-room murder!

The security tape has you leaving at 7:04 p.m.

Then he locks the door and returns to his office to balance accounts.

Two hours later...

...you folks show up.

Who were the two people with you when you left?

Oh, that was--

--us.

Why'd you page me?!

Fujii Takako (29)

I was having fun doing karaoke with friends!

Iino Hiroshi (31)

What exactly is going on?

Someone murdered your boss!

Hmph. So the cretin finally got what he deserved.

Geez...

There sure is a lot of money strewn about!

He's biting his nails. Is it a habit of his?

Habit?

Say, did your boss have any habits?

Habits?

Like when he counts money or something...

Now that you mention it, he always spread the bills like a fan

and then licked his right thumb like so.

Who gave these bills to him?!

I did...

Then it's simple.

The killer was you, lino-san!

You laced the bills with poison in advance!

That's crazy!

Well?

As Detective Mori said, poison was found on the victim's right thumb

and several of the bills.

What'd I tell ya!

However, the poison on the bills was shaped like his thumbprint,

so it was likely his thumb that put it there...

You're sure about that?!

Yes!

Coffee...

That's the coffee I gave him just before I left for the day.

Then you're the killer!

You probably smeared poison all over the cup handle!

No, no poison was found on the cup or in the coffee.

I see.

We only found poison on the victim's thumb, several bills,

and two other places--

the inside door knob and the lock above it.

What?!

But just like on the bills, the poison was in the shape of his thumbprint,

so it seems he touched them with the poison on his thumb.

Come to think of it, he said the victim was flustered on the phone.

What if he left the room halfway through counting the money,

touched something with poison on it, returned to this room,

and locked the door?

But how'd they get him to touch whatever it was?!

I hope you haven't touched anything since you arrived!

All I've touched was this cell phone.

May I hold on to that?

Sure.

Where's that woman?

I'm in here.

Hey, now! What are you doing?!

Isn't it obvious? I'm making tea.

You fool! Don't touch anything!

Okay, okay.

You haven't touched anything else, have you?!

I used the restroom when I got here.

And I used it after her...

Anything else?!

I used the computer a little bit...

You! No dropping ashes here!

Happy now, Mr. Detective?

Why, you...

Now, now!

Huh? Is something wrong?

You're all suspects! No wandering around!

Oops, I turned it on...

Think it's OK to shut it off?

Dunno...

Don't touch that!

I'll shut it off! Just don't touch anything!

Yeah, one wrong key press and they'll find your data...

The records of you embezzling company money.

Embezzling?

No! I haven't done anything!

Don't tell me you killed him because he found out!

That's absurd!

You wanted to kill him too, Minamisawa-san.

You were in tears when he blamed you

for a client defaulting on a big loan!

You were always wishing how he'd die already!

Yeah, that's right.

But if a borrower isn't gonna repay, he shouldn't borrow at all.

You found no poison anywhere in the office?!

Not even the restroom or break room?!

No.

It was potassium cyanide the victim touched.

It can't be wiped cleanly away on such short notice.

Which means it's on one of you three!

I'll have to ask each of you to empty your pockets.

You first, Minamisawa-san.

Let's see.

A wallet, watch, house key, notebook, train pass, and handkerchief.

The handkerchief is a little damp.

Because I just used the restroom.

Next is Fujii-san.

Oh? Your handkerchief is damp, too.

Obviously. I also used the restroom.

You're next, lino-san.

Right.

And another damp handkerchief.

Oh, but yours is sopping wet.

I tend to sweat a lot...

None of their things came out positive?!

No. Absolutely no poison was found.

Then I'll be taking my things back.

Fine with you, right?

Yes...

Conan-kun. Let's go home.

Wait, I still--

Huh? Say, that person's been like that this whole time...

Wait! Could it be?!

Wait, Conan-kun!

Hey, Mister Examiner!

You said you checked everything the victim might've touched, right?

Yeah...

Did you check for fingerprints, too?

Yes, of course.

In that case, what if--

Yeah! I thought it was strange, myself!

Conan-kun!

Come on!

They're gonna get mad if you poke around there!

Conan-kun!

Found it! Bleach!

The spill-off is fresh! The killer used this!

That person's actions,

the unnatural fingerprints,

and the time they entered the restroom!

They manipulated and poisoned the victim in this otherwise empty office!

As if by magic!

Alright, you!

Sneaking around again?!

Ran! Take him home already!

No choice!

Dad?!

Seriously, Mori-kun?!

You know who did it?!

Yes. The killer's aim was a locked-room murder.

Ran. Return to my office and get the iodine from the first-aid kit.

Are you hurt?

The killer's identity will emerge once we have it.

OK! I'll be right back!

The killer got the victim to leave the room halfway through his counting

and got him to touch something with poison on it.

It was after he returned and locked the door that he was poisoned.

The killer used the victim's habit of licking his right thumb

before counting money.

In which case, the killer was one of you three employees

who knew of his habit and what he was doing tonight.

Hold on! No poison was found outside this room!

Besides, how did the killer get him to touch it?

A certain something would make 10 out of 10 people do the same thing.

That's it! The phone!

Anyone would pick up a ringing phone!

Minamisawa-san!

I bet you called from outside so he'd pick up your poison-covered phone!

Not so.

Minamisawa-san bites his nails.

Yet, when he came to get his phone, he picked it up with his bare hands.

Had there been poison, he'd have been too afraid to do such a thing

because there'd be no telling where it had been touched.

The computer, then!

Iino-san! You had him turn it on to check some data, didn't you?!

What?!

I'm afraid not.

There'd be no guarantee he'd turn it on with his thumb.

Then what was the poison on?

There was a way to make him touch something with his right thumb

whether he wanted to or not.

There it is now!

The demonic call the killer used to lead him to his death!

What's going on?!

It's the teapot!

The teapot?!

Aha! That's it!

The killer put poison on the knob here!

Is that right, Mori-kun?!

Yes.

Gas stoves on the market are usually for right-handers.

Poison left on the left side of the knob would be touched by a thumb.

As proof, only this door's inside knob had poison on it.

Which means he rushed out without closing the door,

touched the poison in his flustered state,

then closed it when he returned.

So who used that trick to poison the president?!

The only one who got near the stove afterwards...

...you, Fujii Takako-san!

Yes. Just before you left, you put the teapot on the stove

so the whistle would sound while he was counting the money.

You planned to wipe the poison away tomorrow,

but his body was found earlier than expected and the police showed up.

Afraid the poison on the stove knob would be discovered,

you entered the break room and wiped it off with your handkerchief.

How's that? You said yourself it couldn't be wiped away so soon.

Yes, it is impossible. Assuming it was an ordinary handkerchief.

I brought the iodine, Dad!

Iodine?

Now, then, Inspector. Please put some iodine on her damp handkerchief.

A single drop will shed light on everything!

It's just going to make a brown stain...

The color disappeared!

Yes. Soaked into her handkerchief is neither water nor sweat!

It's sodium thiosulfate!

Sodium thiosulfate?

A bleach used to remove color from disinfectants like iodine.

It's also an antidote that neutralizes the effects of potassium chloride!

There's still some in the restroom cabinet!

Bleach with a special chemical that reacts at room temperature, that is.

Takagi-kun! Check it out!

Yes, sir!

After the police found out, Fujii-san likely went straight to the restroom

and soaked her handkerchief in the bleach.

I can't believe I was found out so quickly.

Fujii-san!

So you did do it?!

That's right. I killed that devious money-fiend.

But, why?!

Easy. My man borrowed money from him

then hung himself when he couldn't pay it back.

It's that simple.

But you were always saying how borrowing money is wrong!

Yeah. I wouldn't have bothered with revenge

had he borrowed money for a car, a house, or gambling,

but it was for my sake, so I had no choice.

Your sake?

I've always had a weak heart,

and I was in the hospital between my college graduation and three years ago.

My parents died early on and I had no friends because of my attitude,

so only he ever visited me.

He said he'd pay the hospital bills somehow.

When I finally got better and went to his apartment,

I found him dead with a Hida Financial loan form at his feet.

So you joined the company to get revenge?!

Yep. I waited for my chance this whole time.

But, Detective. How did you know I did it?

That'd be because of the left hand you kept in your coat the entire time.

You always used your right hand to take out cigarettes or use a lighter.

You used your left hand only once to turn the stove knob.

You're a heavy smoker. You touch your lips when you smoke.

Afraid of that, you purposely turned the knob with your left hand.

Naturally, you kept your left hand in your pocket

so you wouldn't accidentally smear the poison on anything.

And to think my man got me to stop smoking...

He must be laughing in the next world...

Arcade

Hey, Kogoro-chan!

I don't see you here too often!

Can't be helped.

Nobody'll play with me 'cuz it reminds them of what happened.

So you bring a kid with you to play Strip Mahjong?

Yes! Perfect!

OK! Now chi-so-ki for a dama-ten!

Moron! Go for the sha-ki!

Just what are you doing?

Uh, well, you see--

You need to lose the pa-so and use the dora-so-machi to get a soku-ri!

Riichi! (one tile to win)

Move!

OK! Bring it on!

Yeah, right. You got an an-ko.

Tsumo! (wild tile)

A riichi, ippatsu tsumo, hon-itsu, and four doras!

Even an ura-dora! Hurray! A sanbaiman!

OK! Last one!

Who in the world taught you Mahjong?

Heck if I know.
